I don't know much about the guy who's on the phone for a second date update today, but I do know this. He's definitely white. Okay, you went to a farmer's market on his first date, so that's I'm assuming, but I'm not really totally sure. His name is Jonas. What's up, Jonas? How are you? Hey?
How's it going guys? Good? Are you white? That's not a question that we should be asking people. Yeah, I am, okay, okay, yeah, nice. Sorry to perpetuate the stereotype. But you did say you went to a farmer's market on your first date, so I just had to assume. How you doing, man? You know, honestly, I've been better. I'm a little bit confused about why I'm not hearing back from Mary and where'd you meet? Mary?
Her mutual friends. She used to live here, she moved away for a job, and she recently returned, and so our mutual friends said, hey, you guys would be compatible. So she and I started exchanging messages. Everything was great, you know, like good chemistry via text message. I know that sounds kind of crazy, but you know, you can sort of tell if somebody is like, yeah, has a sense of humor all that time. It's important if you guys match well as far as texts go, because that's
how people communicate nowadays. If you're with somebody who doesn't text you back or is awkward on text, it's a deal breaker for a lot of people. I think, not only that you don't want to date somebody that has like too many exclamation points and why are you always so excited one of those people? So tell us about the date you said you went to the farmers market. How is that? It was awesome? You know, we were
walking around beating at the different stands. There's like a bluegrass band that plays, and so we stopped there and listen to that for a little bit. And then I guess we were sort of inspired by all the good food that we were looking at, and I said, hey, I don't live too far away, you know, why don't we pick up something here and take it back to my place and we can actually make a meal instead of just seeing these little bites. That's I think that's
pretty romantic, you know, and a good segue. Did you plan that all along? To do the invite back? I wish I could take that credit. No, that was that was a spur of the moment thing. But it's actually when I thought of it, I was like, man, that's good. Yeah, right, so many people are like Farmer's Market, back to my place, okay, taking notes? So what was on the menu. I'm guessing all organic ingredients, locally sourced. Uh. We decided to make
an eggplant parmer gan, nice free range eggplant. Fancy? Yeah? Are you a cook? Is that something that you're into? Well? I did not to admit to her something that I didn't want to admit once we got back to my place. What's it? What is it? Well, it's actually that I am a terrible cook, like I cannot look. So you you lied to her and told her that you could cook, and then you got back there with the ingredients and didn't know what to do. I technically never actually lied.
I just did say there. I was like, you know, I'm really interested in eating this. Yeah, So she might have assumed I know how to cook this, which is in fact not the case, well, because it's romantic if you're going back and a man is cooking for you, not as romantic if you go back and you end up being the one that has to do all the actual work. Basically, you want to make me dinner. Yeah, well, she said she likes to cook, so it didn't feel
like I was imposing on her. But like we she got back to like she definitely proved that she knew all the technical terms, Like she was talking about broiling something in the oven and I'm like, uh, you know, your guess is as good as mine, but I think that's at the bottom of the ovens, just the top. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know what a broil is either. She was a wish. She was like, oh, I'm gonna chop this and mince that. And I was like, I don't know
if there's a difference between those two things. And she's like she said aside and like wine did it, but she would like give me or she was like, just put a pinch of salt and she was like no, no, no no, it's a dash and I was like, uh okay, And she said that they were like actual technical measurements of pinsion at dash but dash to me, is missus dash that? Yeah, exactly. That seemed to me. It sounds
like she's like a really well trained chef almost. She definitely knew her way around the kitchen, and the food turned out great. So I thought we were having a great time. Okay, you thought you were having a great time, but I mean I was having a great time. No, she said she liked to cook, so I took her on her words. So, I mean, how did the actual meal go when you were eating it? The meal was awesome?
Like I went back to get seconds and thirds, and like, I know, she has done a lot of work to make the meal, So I didn't like ask her to go and get these seconds or thirds or anything like that. Why didn't even cross your mind? Of course, you're gonna get your own damn food. Yeah, I mean, and she made the whole meal, so it's like she's been on our feet preparing it. I just didn't want her to have to get back and get a second and a third for me, So I wanted to help her out
that way. That's nice of you. How did everything is so much civil? You know, things were going so well that I asked her she wanted to stay and watch a movie and chill. She said she had plans that afternoon, and so I respected that as she answered any of your phone calls or text messages. No, And that's weird because when we were first texting, when our friends linked us up like that, there was never a period in which she took more than like three hours to respond.
Now it's been it's been a while, which is confusing. It definitely is bawing you often. You ask the vibe I'm getting, but it doesn't make sense to me. You can't think of anything that happened during the date that would make her not want to talk to you. The only thing that I can think of is that she might have been turned off by the fact that I made her cook everything. But you know, she did say she likes to cook. The the option seemed pretty clear
at that point. You know what I'm saying. All Right, well, we'll play a song and then come back and call her and get your second date update. Okay, okay, thank you, all right, man, hang up. Looking jubil in the morning, seate, if you're just tuning in for today's second date update. Jonas is on the phone and he wants to call Mary. They got set up through mutual friends, went to a farmer's market, bought a bunch of food, went back to
his place because he said, let's cook this stuff. But then she found out that he can't cook, so she cooked the meal herself. Basically, he said that everything went great. The only reason he thinks he's not getting a call back is because she had to cook all the food and maybe she feels like he lied to her and try to act like he knows how to cook when he doesn't. And you know what I think the problem is, Jonas, after she did all that work, you didn't tip her.
You should have at least given her a tip, right you know? Yeah? Is that like something I should have actually done. No, that would probably be definitely the reason you're not getting a call back of you a tipter. But it does break up a good point, Jonas. Did you thank her profusely for making the meal? Oh? Yeah, totally and throughout as well. Yeah, well, and you got second and thirds and whatever, so that also shows that
you liked it, right absolutely. I mean I even gave her a high five because the eggplant, it was like perfectly cooked. And I have no idea how you would even begin to perfectly cook an eggplane. That's well, it's easy to get a spongey egg plant if you do it wrong. Yeah. I honestly I wouldn't know about that either. All right, well, you gotta learn your way around an eggplant a little better. It will help you out with a lot of things. All right, Oh my god, where
have we gone? I'm dialing her phone number right now, Jonas, Here we go? Oh all right, I just hope she actually answers. Hello. All is this Mary? Yes? Hey, what's up? Mary? How are you? This is Jewel from brook and Jewel in the Morning. Um, I'm okay. Are you familiar with the show at all? You guys are like a radio show or something. Yeah, it is. Yeah. So have you ever listened to us or no? Now okay, just heard
of us? Yeah, Mary, I'm calling you today because we actually got an email about you from somebody who does listen to the show. His name is Jonas. Oh Jonas. Yeah, and you guys went to a farmer's market a little while ago and you made him dinner, even though that wasn't necessarily probably in your plans? Yeah, yeah, but why did he contact you? I'm I'm pretty confused here, well, because we do a segment on our show it's called
the second Date Update. So Jonas is confused because he thought you guys had a great time, but now it's pretty obvious that you're blowing him off. Is he right about that? Yeah, he thought that maybe you were put off because you ended up having to cook for him. Yeah, that was a little annoying, But like, how much did he tell you? That's that's definitely not the worst of it. He said, your your eggplant parmesan was amazing. Weird. You're a great cook. Yeah, that's nice, But like, did you
tell you about his pets? Is? What is pets? No, no mention of any pets. You alergic to cats or something? Uh? Listen, if it was cats, he would have heard back from me. Um, snakes is a snake, dude. Listen. The guy feeds wild raccoons in his neighborhood. What wait, those aren't pets, those are wild animals. Yeah. Yeah, see, I'm on that same page,
but I don't think he is. Explain a little more. Okay, I walk in and the first thing I see is this wall of photos of raccoons, like artistic photos of raccoons or like some Yeah, a few of them were like really well done. So I was like, oh, maybe he's like photography. He went to the zoo or something. I don't know, right, I would have left right there because raccoons scare me, no matter, I would have run out screaming. No. I mean I think they're they're totally
interesting animals, but they're wild animals, you know. And then I like mentioned like, oh, that's a really cool photo. I like that, and he starts talking about these raccoons, and I'm pretty sure that he's like, you know, on a Friday, popping his beer after work, like sitting on the porch with the raccoons. Why do you why do you think that? Just I mean, like, obviously he has a love for him, but why would you think that they're his pets? Did he tell you let me let
me paint you a picture of the backyard. There's a hole in the fence so that they can have easy access. Oh, there are cat toys in the yard and no, he does not have cats. There's also cat food on the porch and a little kiddie pool for them to swim it. Oh wow, so this dude actually invites raccoons into his life. Yeah, yeah, straight up, I just I mean, super weird. I get it. Put the picture of little raccoons swimming in a kiddie pool is kind of adorable. I know that they probably
have rabies or something, but yeah, that's the thing. It's cute from a distance. But like, I don't want to wake up some day and have a raccoon on my chest, Like, yeah, I can understand that raccoons are raccoons exactly. If he loves animals so much, why doesn't he get like a conventional pet. You know what, we didn't go that deep into it because I was feeling kind of weird changing the subject. You know, I just was trying to steer the ship in another direction, just away from raccoons, Away
from raccoons. Okay, Well, even though it sounds like you're really tired of talking about raccoons, we have to talk a little bit more about them, because Jonas is actually on the other line and wants to talk to you about the date and probably more about raccoons too. Seriously, who I don't understand who hates raccoons? Like they're the most adorable animals around. How could you hate them? Wait? Hold on, you're on did you just hear everything that
I just said. Yeah, and I don't understand because you didn't express any sort of hatred for raccoons when we were hanging out, and you actually said, oh, that's really cute when you saw the kiddie pool. So oh my god, I mean, you knock think that a raccoon is an adorable animal. They are adorable animals, but they're also wild animals. And you're like, you're acting like they're your pets. They carry disease, are my pets? They are my pets. Yeah, I don't bring them into the house. They don't sleep
in my bed, but yeah, I can't hear of them. Yeah, you give them like shots and like take them to the bed and like no monitor where they don't. No, I understand they're wild animals, but they sort of flocked to me. It's a family. I take care of the little bandits like they're all bandits. Oh man, completely contradicted yourself that they are your pets and that they're wild animals. They can't be both. That's the reality, my friend, Like serious, they Yeah, I have a hole in my fence. They
come through that hole. I feed them. They're like they're a loving family. And I see the new ones every year, so it's like that's what it is, and I'm happy to do it for them. And they're intensely loyal as well, Like they are always coming back to my place because you feed them. Yeah, because they recognize me, like they can see my face and they do have facial recognition. Like they're not idiot animals, Like they know what they're doing. Yeah,
they know who they want to murder. They're not murderers. They're peaceful animals. I've been around my little bandits for a number of years now and there has only been one time in which I've gotten bitten by one of them. That's enough. Please tell me you've been to the doctor. Oh god, was but that wasn't even it was It was not their fault. I was holding out an old egg, but I wasn't holding it properly, so when they get went to take it out of my hands, tip bit
part of my finger. Yeah, I went to the doctor. I was fun. They don't have babies. They're not just like foaming at the mouth and crawling around my house. I think that everybody can agree that people who love animals are typically great people. However, I do think that maybe your obsession with raccoons could be hurting your dating life. I would call the love not an obsession first off. And it's just like we ever had an issue before with anyone disliking an animal, and that's basically what this
boils down to you. Listen, Jonathan, I don't know how deep this goes. I feel like if I go in your closet, am I going to see a costume, a raccoon costume? You los guy? Then like hang out with them d the day? I don't know. No, I do not have a raccoon costume, but if I did at one point half one and has since gotten rid of it, I would know that the raccoons feel comfort when they see another raccoons and a just sense of community. I'm
not doing anything strange, you know what, Jonas. I feel comfort when I'm around humans that dress like humans and not animals. So I have nothing wrong with you having your friends, But I don't think it's going to sink with me and my friends. Are you sure? Mary? Would you like to go out on a second date with Jonas? We will pay for it, just him we want. We
can't pay for his whole raccoon family. That'd be an expensive bill, but we will pay for you to go out with Jonas again if you go on a second date. I don't know why you're even asking me this question. No, No, I can't. I'm sorry. I don't think there's enough room for me and all of Jonah's little bandits in. Mary. I hear what you're saying, but I'm gonna give you another option before you give me a final note. Here, it is you and I go back to the farmer's market,
We get a meal. I will certainly do my research before him, so I can help you prepare it, and then afterwards we can go outside. I can introduce you. You can get to know them before you make a decision as to whether or not you want to be friends with them. I think you should know them second date. He already wants to introduce you to the family. Mary. Are you sure? Mary? I think that's a good proposition.
I mean, what if the craziest thing happens and it's not as strange as we all think it is, or one of them could jump up and scratch my fast off. I think the likelihood is low, Mary, that's not gonna happen again. They've only bitten me once and that was because of a bad egg. Mary. Do you know what Jonas? I just don't think so, but thanks so much for the offer. Well, Mary, thank you for your time. And Jonas,
I'm sorry it doesn't sound like you're getting another date. Hey, I don't want to date anyone who can't appreciate this friendship. So okay, Well text in at seven eight five nine two. Do you want to hang out with Jonas and his raccoons. We'll see if we can find you somebody. I'm sure there's somebody out there for Yeah, there probably is, and I don't want to meet him. Broken jubil in the morning text in at seven eight five to nine two and says she doesn't deserve a who loves animals like that.
I'm glad they're not going out again. Not animals, they're raccoons. The animals. They are evil creatures. A lot of people love them. Ju boys, I know, but they shouldn't because raccoons don't love you. They will kill you. Talking about today's second date update if you missed it, Zoo, Jonas
wanted to call a girl named Mary. They met at a farmer's market, and he thought the reason that she wasn't calling him back was because he said that he could cook, but they went back to his place and then he had to admit that he couldn't cook any food at all. So she pretty much made dinner. But when we got her on the phone, we found out the reason that she wasn't calling him back was because Jonas's best friends are a family of wild raccoons that
he invites to come into his backyard. He feeds them, he leaves toys for them. He even has photos on his wall of the raccoons. He just loves this family of raccoons. And you know, it sounded strange at first, but we're getting so many text messages in of other people who feed raccoons and want to hang out with Jonas and his little band. Yeah, a lot of people are into it. Well, you shouldn't feed wild, wild animals. That's a whole other discussion. But you know, some people
love raccoons. I've seen them as pets before. I don't understand it. Raccoons are scary to me. They lumber down city streets, they eat your garbage, and they wait, They wait for you to walk down the street late at night so they can bite your ankles and give you rabies, and that should be your type of animal. That's what I don't understand why you hate them so much. It's like you're describing what you would do if you were an animal. I don't know if i'd bite people, give
you definitely lumber late at night and I would do that. Yeah, See you look sketchy, many sketchy. You'd be all sketchy out there in a garbage can. Maybe I do like them. Yeah. Anyway, Mary said no to a second date because she doesn't feel like there's enough room in his life for her and the raccoons, so they're not going out again. 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 five
