Speaker 1: Brooking jubile in the morning. Second date. There's no better
Speaker 1: way to bond on a first date than risking getting
Speaker 1: salmonella or some other food born illness. I think it's
Speaker 1: really a good way to get to know each other.
Speaker 1: And that's what Michael kind of did on his first
Speaker 1: date with the girl that he wants to call today.
Speaker 1: We'll get into that in just a second. But what's up, Michael?
Speaker 1: How are you? I'm good? How about you? Guys? Good?
Speaker 1: He sounds healthy. Jubile, Yeah, somehow, I don't know how
Speaker 1: you know. I read your email for a second date update,
Speaker 1: and I like your idea of a first date. We'll
Speaker 1: get into that, like I said, in a second, but first,
Speaker 1: tell us about the girl you want to call today.
Speaker 1: What's her name? Her name is Madeleine, Madeleine? All right,
Speaker 1: and what'd you like about Madeleine? Um? Well, basically, i'd
Speaker 1: been out with a group of friends and she was
Speaker 1: like in the group of friends, we didn't really talk
Speaker 1: too much, but our mutual friend was telling me that
Speaker 1: she thought I was cute, and I thought she was
Speaker 1: pretty cute. So I got a number from the mute
Speaker 1: fool friend and texted her and a few days later
Speaker 1: we set up a date. So what you liked about
Speaker 1: her is that she liked you first. Yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: good start. It's a good start. Yeah. Yeah, your idea
Speaker 1: for a date was interesting. How did you decide to
Speaker 1: do that? I mean, first of all, tell everybody what
Speaker 1: it is, and then how did you decide to do it? Well?
Speaker 1: I was kind of tired of just you know, the
Speaker 1: old dinner in a movie type thing. I wanted an experience,
Speaker 1: so I went and looked for the lowest rated restaurant
Speaker 1: I could find in the area on Yelp. Why that's
Speaker 1: a terrible strategy. Well, I mean we were talking and
Speaker 1: we decided that like the traditional like nice dinners, five
Speaker 1: star restaurants, but one they're crazy expensive, but too they're
Speaker 1: kind of boring, Like you go to enough of those
Speaker 1: dates and they all kind of blend together and wanted
Speaker 1: to try something new. And yeah, anybody can try to
Speaker 1: have like a great meal and a first date, but
Speaker 1: nobody really tries to have a crappy mon I like that.
Speaker 1: I like that idea. Yeah. I was searching and searching
Speaker 1: on Yelp for like at least an hour, and I
Speaker 1: found this like hole in a wall Italian place, like
Speaker 1: way on the outskirts of town. Like I'd never even
Speaker 1: been to this area before. But it had like one
Speaker 1: and a half stars and just no good reviews on
Speaker 1: the entire day. And did it deliver on its promise? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it really did. So what happened when you showed up
Speaker 1: at this horrible restaurant? Well, first off, we almost didn't
Speaker 1: show up because it's like not advertised on the street
Speaker 1: at all. Like we drove past it like five or
Speaker 1: six times, just like trying to find this location. Hate
Speaker 1: that like GPS says it's right here. Yeah, Like we
Speaker 1: would pass by it and the GPS would state you're
Speaker 1: here and then stop GPS NG and so we would
Speaker 1: just have to reset that. Like, oh, it's actually literally
Speaker 1: this dumpster that we're standing in front of this wall. Yeah,
Speaker 1: guessing since this was such a horribly rated restaurant on Yelp,
Speaker 1: there wasn't a long wait for you guys to get
Speaker 1: a table. No, we actually we walked in when we
Speaker 1: finally found the place, and there was literally nobody there.
Speaker 1: There wasn't like a host or anybody in the actual place.
Speaker 1: And eventually a guy from the back walked out, and
Speaker 1: first off, he was like really uneasy. He was like, oh,
Speaker 1: you guys are cops, Like, oh, we aren't the cop.
Speaker 1: This is actually pretty exciting. That's great. Yeah, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: a normal question whenever you walk into a restaurant. Then
Speaker 1: he patted you down to see if you were wired.
Speaker 1: But then he was like, are you from the health department,
Speaker 1: which is kind of got us a little freaked out
Speaker 1: about whether or not this food was okay and you
Speaker 1: still decided to eat there. Well, we were committed at
Speaker 1: this point, like we've been talking about it though we
Speaker 1: had to, but we were like, no, went not from
Speaker 1: the health department. And after that he like really perked up,
Speaker 1: and all of a a sudden he's like, oh, yeah, well
Speaker 1: come on, let let me let me get you something.
Speaker 1: But then we're sitting there and we're looking for what
Speaker 1: food we want to get, and we mentioned that it's
Speaker 1: our first date, and so he takes our menus and goes, oh,
Speaker 1: I got the perfect thing. No, that means I thought,
Speaker 1: whatever's left in the freezer from whoever has been here
Speaker 1: in so long. Yeah, So we're sitting there for like
Speaker 1: a few minutes, was wondering what it could be, and
Speaker 1: he just comes out with a big bowl of spaghetti
Speaker 1: and meatballs. Oh and that's it. That was his big
Speaker 1: surprise spaghetti, the big special thing. Apply He's like proud
Speaker 1: of the meatballs, like it's some family recipe or something
Speaker 1: like that. But they were pretty runned the mill. Oh man,
Speaker 1: So he actually sits down with us at the table.
Speaker 1: What kind of the rest of the meal is us
Speaker 1: talking to him? That's got to be nice on your
Speaker 1: first date, getting to know this weird restaurant owner, to
Speaker 1: be socialized. More so, was she into it or was
Speaker 1: she annoyed by the end? I mean I was thinking
Speaker 1: it all in pretty good humor, and I felt like
Speaker 1: she was laughing along pretty well. But I am calling
Speaker 1: you guys, So nothing went wrong. Did you get a
Speaker 1: kiss at the end of the evening or no? You know,
Speaker 1: there wasn't really an opportunity to be very romantic, but
Speaker 1: you know, it felt like we had fun. I thought
Speaker 1: it was worth continuing getting to know each other. But
Speaker 1: I you know, maybe I'm wrong. I guess hasn't really
Speaker 1: been responding to anything. All right, Well, we'll play a
Speaker 1: song and then come back and get your second day update.
Speaker 1: All right, All right, hang on, if you're just tuning
Speaker 1: in for today's second date update. Michael is on the phone,
Speaker 1: and today he wants to call a girl named Madeline.
Speaker 1: They actually had one of the worst first dates ever,
Speaker 1: but on purpose it wasn't a bad thing. They decided
Speaker 1: as a joke they would find the worst rated restaurant
Speaker 1: on Yelp and go eat there, and they did and
Speaker 1: it was a really weird experience. And then they went
Speaker 1: to a dive bar after. And you can't figure out
Speaker 1: why he's not getting a call back. All right, Michael,
Speaker 1: We're about to dial her phone number. Are you ready
Speaker 1: to go? Yeah? Yeah, A bit nervous, but excited. And
Speaker 1: you thought that, like maybe the day ended up just
Speaker 1: being a little bit too much for her. I think,
Speaker 1: So I can't imagine anything else. I'm afraid I freaked
Speaker 1: her out, but you know, I remember she was the
Speaker 1: one who first it's best interest in me. So I'm
Speaker 1: really in the dark here. Okay, you don't think maybe
Speaker 1: she got food poisoning and died. Do you die? Oh?
Speaker 1: I hope not. Well, she's not calling you back. That's
Speaker 1: my only the only thing I can think of it.
Speaker 1: She's got to be dead though. One and a half stars,
Speaker 1: not zero. Stars. Okay, yeah, I'm gonna dial her phone
Speaker 1: of her right now here we go, Michael, all right,
Speaker 1: hello him, I speak to Madeline. Please doesn't she? Hey Madeline?
Speaker 1: How are you? This is Jewil from Brook and Jewel
Speaker 1: in the Morning. Uh. I think I made my payment
Speaker 1: this month already. Are you sure? Because I'm checking my
Speaker 1: records and I don't see a payment made. No. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mailed it like two days ago. I'm not a
Speaker 1: bill collector or anything else. This is Jewel from Brook
Speaker 1: and Jewil in the Morning. It's a radio show. Oh
Speaker 1: you have you have some weird bills, Madeline. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I get lots of weird phone calls. Um, But if
Speaker 1: you'd like to submit a payment to me, I would
Speaker 1: be more than willing to give you my information. You
Speaker 1: can send a check. No, I'm a woy too much
Speaker 1: money as it is. But what's what's up? I'm calling
Speaker 1: you today because we do a segment on a show
Speaker 1: called the Second Date Update. That's where if you go
Speaker 1: out on a date with somebody and then end up
Speaker 1: not calling them back after, they can email us to
Speaker 1: get you on the phone and find out what happened.
Speaker 1: And Michael actually sent us an email, wondering if we
Speaker 1: could get you on the phone and ask why you're
Speaker 1: not calling him back Michael. Yeah, that's a pretty heavy
Speaker 1: sigh there, Madeline. Yeah, I'm a little frustrated with Michael
Speaker 1: at the moment. Oh really, can you tell us why? Well,
Speaker 1: it was just one of demast frustrating dates ever frustrating? Yes,
Speaker 1: fuck crating. I don't know Helen's private frustrating he said,
Speaker 1: he said, you guys laughed, you had fun, you connected. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I really didn't have the opportunity to connect
Speaker 1: with him because I was like panicking the whole time.
Speaker 1: You were panicking, Yes, why were you panicking? So I
Speaker 1: don't know what he told you. But we went to
Speaker 1: this restaurant like way on the other side of the town,
Speaker 1: which meant we were in the car for like forty
Speaker 1: five minutes each way. Okay, And I think you can
Speaker 1: tell a lot about a person by the way they drive.
Speaker 1: And michael'sma a very good driver, like probably one of
Speaker 1: the worst drivers I have ever written with, Like not
Speaker 1: road rage, Like I don't mean that, you know, did
Speaker 1: he like what? He's just clueless behind the wheel? So wait,
Speaker 1: so he was an aggressive driver? No, No, not aggressive,
Speaker 1: like the exact opposite. Not aggressive enough, like um like
Speaker 1: jerking on the brakes really hard, like I'm like flopping
Speaker 1: back in sports in this seat when he's breaking um Like,
Speaker 1: when we're trying to merge, he flows down instead of
Speaker 1: speeding up. I squarely like hit three cars. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: can understand why you wouldn't want to go out with
Speaker 1: him again. The people that do that are so obnoxious.
Speaker 1: You were actually having road rage while in the car
Speaker 1: with the driver. Basically I was trying to keep myself
Speaker 1: under control, but like, you know, my foot's like pressed
Speaker 1: on the floorboard, like I'm the one driving, you know, Like,
Speaker 1: oh my god. So wait, you liked him outside of that.
Speaker 1: It's just you can't date somebody who drives like that.
Speaker 1: I mean I liked him when I first kind of
Speaker 1: met him. We were all kind of hanging out with
Speaker 1: some friends, but it didn't really get a chance to
Speaker 1: talk to him, and so on our date, I was
Speaker 1: so preoccupied, like anxious about getting back in the car
Speaker 1: with him. For another forty five minutes after the meal
Speaker 1: was over, I couldn't think about anything else, you know,
Speaker 1: and then like I don't know, the restaurant guy sat
Speaker 1: down at the table and was talking. So, I mean,
Speaker 1: I have no idea if I like him or not anymore.
Speaker 1: I'm just like so terrified of him. Driving makes sense.
Speaker 1: If you're gonna date somebody, you're gonna be in the
Speaker 1: car with them a lot. It doesn't make you could
Speaker 1: drive all the time. I don't think it makes sense.
Speaker 1: It doesn't like you really think it reflects who he
Speaker 1: is as a person. I don't know if he's that
Speaker 1: like clueless and unaware, what does that mean about the
Speaker 1: other areas of his life that are not as important
Speaker 1: as good question, Madeline? And we should just ask him,
Speaker 1: because he's actually on the other line listening to this
Speaker 1: conversation and wants to talk to you. Michael, are you
Speaker 1: still there? Yeah? Still here? Oh my god. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm genuinely sorry that you were scared, But I don't
Speaker 1: I don't get how. I mean. I was going slow,
Speaker 1: I was checking all my blind spots. I was cautious. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was the problem, Michael. I'm going thirty miles an
Speaker 1: hour on the highway. You're not thinking about is I'm
Speaker 1: also trying to impress you at the same time, Like
Speaker 1: my mind is on the road on my phone and
Speaker 1: trying to get to know you. It's a lot of
Speaker 1: multi cut tasking. Michael, I don't know what to tell you, okay,
Speaker 1: I mean you're how old you're supposed to be able
Speaker 1: to handle these things, like have a basic conversation and
Speaker 1: you know, drive safely. I was driving safely. I was
Speaker 1: going slow because I didn't want to freak you out.
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm shocked the irony. Have you ever been
Speaker 1: told that you're a bad driver before? Michael, No, But
Speaker 1: I mean usually i'm driving by myself because I mean,
Speaker 1: having a lot of people, it gets pretty distracting. It
Speaker 1: sounds like you get distracted easily. I mean, yeah, I
Speaker 1: guess so. But like we were driving on New streets
Speaker 1: and there was a lot going on that night, brom
Speaker 1: I was nervous about the restaurant too, Like I think
Speaker 1: you're holding a lot of things against me that we're
Speaker 1: just the one time situational thing. Michael. Listen, don't you
Speaker 1: remember we got to the restaurant and I'm like, okay, GPS.
Speaker 1: As we're here, I'm like pointing it out and you're
Speaker 1: like no, and I'm like, yes, it's right there. There's
Speaker 1: a parking spot and you're like, no, I think we
Speaker 1: should make the block. Oh, y'all want to be Michael.
Speaker 1: I just really never wanted to hit somebody that much
Speaker 1: in my life, right then, Okay, I wanted to get
Speaker 1: out of the car. You know. If I had known
Speaker 1: you were getting violent in your head, then yep, I
Speaker 1: just can'tfully. The only thing Michael did wrong was drive. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but look I was in the car with him, not you.
Speaker 1: And when you're in the car for an hour and
Speaker 1: a half round trip with somebody, you's that that of
Speaker 1: a driver. You might consider taking your own life too. Okay, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: that's pretty overly dramatic in my opinion. You're not gonna
Speaker 1: take your own life because you're sitting in a passenger
Speaker 1: seat of a car with me. Okay, okay, okay, right,
Speaker 1: all right, but I'm just trying to make a point.
Speaker 1: It was terrifying. I mean it. I'm still taking up
Speaker 1: about it still. All right, then, how about we go
Speaker 1: on on the date and you drive. That is a
Speaker 1: good solution, Yeah, Madeline, would you like to go out
Speaker 1: with Michael again for a second date. We will pay
Speaker 1: for it. Not your gas money, though, but we will
Speaker 1: pay for it. The date. I mean, you said yourself
Speaker 1: that you were so distracted by his driving that you
Speaker 1: weren't even able to get to know who he was.
Speaker 1: That's true. Um, but I'm just thinking about like if
Speaker 1: it were to work out, you know, someday down the line,
Speaker 1: he's gonna be driving, and I just feel like, I
Speaker 1: don't know that one to sweep. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I can handle it. You, so you won't go out
Speaker 1: with him again? In case you ever have to drive
Speaker 1: with him, Madelin, You guys could become the public transit couple.
Speaker 1: You could just do Uber everywhere you go. You could
Speaker 1: just drive literally everywhere you go. That's what I do
Speaker 1: in my relationship. Look, his driving just makes me a
Speaker 1: terrible person, apparently, and I don't want to be that person,
Speaker 1: so I just don't want to risk it. Okay, all right, wow, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's not good. Sorry man. You know what make you
Speaker 1: feel better, Maybe go out for a long, slow drive,
Speaker 1: very slow, and just make sure you're not in my neighborhood. Okay,
Speaker 1: come on,
