Need Leasic trust the experienced team at the Leasic Center at Evergreen Eye Center. No glasses, no contacts, no limits. What will you do? Lesic at Evergreen dot com rooking Jebels second date of date. Going out on a date when you're set up by friends is the worst because there's the pressure of being on the first date. Yeah yeah, and then there's the pressure of screwing things up and making your friend angry. And Charles emailed us about a girl he wants to call it today that was set

up by one of his friends. Now, not only is that girl not talking to him, but his friend isn't even talking to him either. So Charles obviously screwed up something on his date and he wants to figure out what it was. Charles, how are you, hey, good man? How are you? I'm excited to be on your show. I'm good, I'm loveless, I'm friendless, I'm cool. Sounds like you killed it on your first date. Many, I killed something out on the what why don't you tell us

a little bit about it? What was the girl's name that you went out with? Her name is Rebecca? Rebecca okay? And Rebecca was set up by a friend of yours. Yeah, a co worker friend of mine. Um, and Rebecca is a friend of hers who just moved to town. And why did your friend think that Rebecca would be a good fit for you? Well, I don't date a lot, and my co worker knew this, but you know, I would I would like to date more. I would like

to you know, have a girlfriend one day. And so I think my co worker was just trying to help me out, help her friend Rebecca out, who's new to town, and you know, somebody could show her around. So she's like, you don't date a lot, this girl's new to town. She'd clearly has nobody else to hang out with, so this can be a good opportunity for you, Charles, something like that. And what did you and Rebecca do on

your date? We went to the park. We uh, well, at first, I will admit I kind of like Facebook's doctor a little bit. Um. I think I think that that is totally okay, that's normal. Yeah, yeah, okay, good. And I saw her picture and she was super cute, and I was almost like like, I'm second guessing myself now, I'm like, is she too cute for me? But I you know, I set up a date. We did it on a weekend, like a day date. I'm not the kind of guy that like goes want to go to barn,

like get smashed or whatever. Yeah, so you're boring. So you're real baring, dude. That sounds actually refreshing Charles to not have the pressure of a night date. Yeah, I'm not the kind of guy that's going to like go to a bar and gets drunk. I mean, it's just like kind of not who you are, and you know, it's kind of like lowering people's inhibitions. It's like almost like kind of like tricking a girl to go with you because she smashed. Yeah. See what you described to

me is my fantasy. I love it. That's that's a great date to me. But apparently not for you. No, not not for me personally. I understand why though, But I mean it's also not as safe at nighttime. You know, it's it's dark, and where are you hanging out like back alley at night? No, I don't know. I just that's when like you know, crime goes up at night. Yeah, understand, scary world out there, all right. So anyway, so you took her on a daytime date to the park during

the day because the nighttime is too scared. So we went on a drive. We went to the park. I'm like kind of a nature loving guy. I was hoping she would be too. So you know, we went. I brought a blanket, went for a walk. We had brought a fritz Bee. It was fun. Well, define nature, define nature loving like you enjoy nature or you actually like love nature. I tried to refrain from going loving it

that much. Okay, Well, I was if that happened on your first date, I could see why you're not getting a call back and why your coworker would stop talking to you. Like no I had I did not do that on the day. Okay, okay, So how was it. How was the conversation? Was it easy? Yeah? I thought it was great. We were laughing, we were talking. I mean whatever you would want a date to go. Well, yeah, this was it. I thought, was is there anything in your mind that have gone wrong? I mean again, like

I said, I'm second getting myself. Um, so you know, after the date, I drove her home. I wanted to be a gentleman, so you know, I'm like, I'm not going to go for a kiss or anything. But I was like, you know, we got to her place and I was like, you know, hold on, don't get out of the car, and I like ran around and opened the door for her. Yeah, that's nice. Yeah I thought so, But I don't know if maybe people don't do that anymore.

She thought it was weird. I don't know, maybe that was nothing we've done second day updates before where a girl has been like, he's obviously a chauvin it's because he feels like he has to open my door. Remember that one. Yeah, but that was one person. I mean, the majority of people don't feel that way. How did you tell her to stay in the car? Maybe that weirded her out. Maybe you pulled up and you're like, stay in the car. I didn't use that exact way.

You have two women who are not speaking to you right now because of something you did, and you literally can't think of anything other than I opened her car door. It sounds like a great no. I even I said, it's you know, it's hey, Could I call you again? She was like sure, And you know, I've called a couple of times. It's been like ten days. The only thing I got back with a text is said I'm busy and that's it, and then that's it, and then

the co worker stopped talking to you. Weird. Do you work directly with this co workers you have to see him all the time or is it just somebody casually in your office? Yeah, it's it she and I. Yeah, I see her all the time. Like I'll literally go in the breaker and she'll leaves. WHOA, you must have done something pretty bad. Yeah, man, not in my memory. Now, you said you've been out of the dating world for a while. It's not because you're like married and they

found that out right, No, I just don't. I don't really like tender or anything like that. Is I kind of want to meet somebody through people that I know hasn't happened for me. Okay, well, we'll play a song, come back and hopefully find out why she's not talking to you and your co worker isn't talking to you right after this when we get your second day up date. Okay, great, thanks, all right, man, hang on five brooking jubil in the morning.

Today's second dater is really living up to his namesake.

In case you don't know where that music is, that's the theme to the Peanuts Charlie Brown and if you know anything about those stories, Charlie was always getting screwed over having the football yanked out from underneath him, never ending with him getting the girl and our second date up dator Today, his name is Charles, and Charles is going to see if he can change history and maybe do something good with his name, because he's apparently pissed off everybody that he knows, and he has no idea

why he was set up by his co worker to go out on a date with a girl named Rebecca. They went out, had fun, according to him, but now after the date, she's not calling him back and the co worker won't talk to him. Charles, are you ready to see if you can change things for the name Charlie for good? All right? Oh yeah? Look at the passion in Charles's voice. Do you think your co worker isn't just talking to you. Maybe she feels guilty that you got set up with a girl that doesn't like

you or something. Maybe that makes sense, But we're good friends, so I would think she would tell me, yeah, Okay, there could be it could be just awkward for he, like, ah, that didn't work out. Now I don't know what to say to him. You know he's such a sad, pathetic man already. I don't want to make it worse. Oh, thanks, Brook, I'm glad I called the show today. Yeah, we are really helping you out. Man. Okay, I'm gonna doll the phone and get your second date update. All right, Okay,

here we go. Hello. I was looking for Rebecca. Rebecca, Hey, Rebecca, how are you? My name is Jubil and I host a morning radio show called Brook and Jewel in the morning. Okay, Hi, Hi, do you have a few minut it's a talk. What is this about? My name is ju Bowl, Jubowl, Jebil, Yes, and host a morning radio show called Brook and Jewil in the Morning. It's on in the morning. If you can't tell, I've said it like four times now. Okay, sorry, I'm new to town. I don't really know any video

shows or anything. Yeah, I've heard that you're new in town. Welcome that's a creepy It's like we're the welcome committee suddenly. How do you know? I'm new? I know a lot about you, Rebecca, that's normal, that's how do you know a lot about me? Let me I'll explain. We do

a segment on our show called the second date update. So, even though you're new in town, you went out on a date recently with one of our listeners, and he emailed us to see if we could find out what happened on your date and why you don't want to go out with him again. I'm assuming you're talking about Charles. Yes, I am. Unless you've been on a bunch of dates, I don't know this one. I haven't had time really. Okay, Well, Charles is wondering why you don't want to go out

with him again. He says he's tried to text you when you said you were busy, and then now you just stopped responding. Yeah, well I am busy. I'm getting set up and situated, and this is just weird. I understand that I don't like have many friends in town, and it's just like talking to a radio sa. Oh hey, we're your new friends. Now you don't need any other friends. We're the best friends you never wanted. Wow. Okay, Well, then did you like your date with Charles? Was it fun?

It was? Um, it was something, there was a date, it was it just maybe a little boring. I mean, it wasn't the most exciting date I've ever been on. I mean, would you mind telling us about the date in your own words? Because we actually talked to Charles about your date. He said that you guys went to the park and had a lot of fun. So he's gon used. I mean, he's nice at all, but I just I don't know. I got a really creepy vibe

from him. Creepy. Yeah, we talked to him. I did not get a creepy vibe from him over the phone. Well neither did I at first, but didn't. Something happened. What happened, Well, when we went up to play frisbee, he left his phone on the blanket and I noticed his screen faver was um of my friend who set us up? Wait, the background on his phone was a picture of your friend. Yeah okay, but I mean he said they were really good friends. Was it like a

picture of him and her? Yeah? No, It's like a candid shot, like she didn't even know it was kicking. It's weird. So it looks like he just took a picture of your friend, his coworker and saved it as the wallpaper on his phone. Yeah. Did you ask him about it? I did. I mentioned that I was like, oh, this Coppin. He's like, yeah, yeah, and then he started like talking about her and how close they are, but I know from her that they're not that close. So

that was I mean, that was the creepers number one. Yeah, and is their number two? Because that's creepy enough for me. I don't know, I feel like we're jumped to conclusions. Well, he started gushing about her and just saying how amazing she was and talking about like, had it been a different time, who knows what would have happened between them. It was awkward. So on your first date with him, he's talking about how much he loves your friend basically, yeah, well,

and when you talk to your friends. She had no idea that Charles has a crush on her. No, she had no idea. She said that he hard like they talk, but it's never anything deep. And then I told her that he had a picture on his phone and she was like, what that explains a lot, Rebecca, because not only have you not been talking to Charles, neither has his coworker. Yeah. Well, yeah, I mean she's like creeped down up and he's like the first day back at the office, she tried to avoid him, but he told

us that you feel bad for him. It sounds like he took a candid picture of some girl and put it at as a screensaver on his phone. That's not that's creepy behavior. He doesn't have very good social etiquette, but he obviously has a crush on someone that's not you. So if somebody has a crush on somebody that can take a picture of them without all right, well let's how about this, Rebecca. I do have to let you know that Charles is actually on the other line listening

and wants to talk to you. Are you serious? Yes, I am, Charles. You there, Yeah, I need myself. Yeah, I think you do. Charles. Catherine and I are just friends, and I told you that on the date. Yeah. Well, I don't have a screensaver of my coworker on my phone. You know. I'm unusual to have pictures of your friends on your phone. Yeah, but as a screensaver, like that's kind of strange. It's not that. I mean I see her all the time, like as we walked to the office,

so it's like a shot. What I like what I see? You took a wait, hold on, hold up, sorry, Charles, you took a photo of what you see on a daily basis when you walk by your coworker. Yeah, yeah, I took a photo of my friend as I see her in the office. Does she know that you took that picture? I mean, that's not important. It's just a pend. I think that is kind of important, Charles. Yet that's important.

She doesn't know, obviously, And I told her what the picture was, and she doesn't even remember you taking it. It was just like her with a cup of coffee, with her hair like falling into her mouth, like. I mean, it's weird. I don't. I can't see her having a problem with it. She's not talking to you. I mean, it's obviously kind of creepy. I mean, I don't think he's meaning to be creepy. I just think Charles obviously

have a crush on your coworker. No, I don't. We're just friends, you said, And another time that you guys might have been together, things worked out differently that you would be together. So it's not another time, it's this time. It's this time now, and we're just spend I mean, in another time, I could have been with Angelina and Jolie.

I'm speculating. Hey, well, no matter what It's totally inappropriate on a first date to talk about how in love you are with somebody else when it's supposed to be about me, you know, I mean, that's just weird. I did not talk about how I was in love with her. I said that we could have been in love. But with your friends, Charles, you shouldn't bring up love and another woman's name like that your mom on a first date. I was just talking about how much I adored Katherine,

her friend, which I think she would appreciate. Okay, you were talking about her hair, how shiny it was. You were talking about how strong she is a yoga she does. I mean, you went off about it was not like a normal friend conversation. It was like you had studied every inch of her, which is weird. She set us up. She knows me, uh not. When I'm talking to her, she says that she doesn't know you that well. She said, you're just coworkers. I can't believe you even told her

all that that I talked about her. And then I have a picture on my phone that was that was a conversation with you, not her. Okay, well, she's my friend, and if somebody has a creepy picture of someone on the phone. I'm going to tell her. I told you that confidence, Charles. If you're not okay, if your picture isn't creepy, why did you have to tell her in confidence? You know you have different conversations with different people about different things. You guys, I feel Charles. I feel bad

for you right now. You're learning a lot of stuff about yourself. I don't feel like you're creepy. Maybe you just need to admit that you did things that were wrong according to social Norris. I don't. I don't think it's wrong. They have a picture of your friends. Hey, Rebecca, would you like a second date with Charles? We will pay for it. No, No, I don't think so. Charles. You need to confess your love to your coworker friend. I told you, guys, I'm not in love with her.

She's just my friends, and she happened to be like cool and awesome and pretty and like I'd like her a lot, But that doesn't mean we're anything more than friends. Okay, all right, we got it, Charles, Rebecca, thank you for thank you for answering the phone, and welcome to town. Text in it seven eighty five nine two says that

girl sound super insecure. I don't know if it's that or if she's correct, and that the dude she went out with has a crushed on his coworker talking about today's second date update if you missed it, this dude, Charles was set up by one of his co workers any out with a girl named Rebecca to picnic in the park. Afterwards, both Rebecca and his co worker wouldn't talk to Charles anymore, so we called Rebecca and she told us that she got a really creepy vibe from him.

At one point, Charles left his phone on the picnic blanket, and Rebecca noticed that the screensaver was a candid photo of their mutual friend. Yeah, who had set them up? He had just taken a random photo of her and was using her as the background on his phone. Charles didn't deny the photo, but he insisted that they were just friends, and after that he went on to praise his coworker for being cool, pretty and awesome and said they could have been in love, but they weren't because

they're just coworkers. But it sounds like he's in love with her. I don't think he's very self aware No, yeah, and the end. No second day update. Remember, if you want to do a second day update, just emailed the show and we will call the person who didn't call you back
