Speaker 1

Rooking Jubels. Second, you know how the old saying goes, don't dip your wiener in the company penholders saying, don't give your wiener to a co worker's in the company and the company Oh ink, I'm the weird one. I'm saying it wrong. I don't know anyway. Julian is on the phone today for a second day update. His email said that he met the girl who he wants to call today at work. So I'm guessing it's a co worker or something. Julian, how you doing, I'm good. How

are you guys? Good? So you're trying to dip your wiener in the penning, right? Is that what this is about? No, No, it's not at all. Okay, tell us a little bit about the girl that you want to call today. She's a co worker, Well, she's not a co worker. She came in purchasing supplies at the office that I work at, so she's kind of a client co worker. Nicee the deal there? So did you ask her out while she came in to deal with Like? No, because I think

that's unprofessional. Basically, what happened is she came in and she was working with me or I was working for her, however you want to say it. I didn't want to cross the line, I guess. And then she ended up coming back because she hadn't got her parking ticket validated in the lot, and then you validated it with your wiener? Oh my god? Right? Or am I right? No? No? No? I validated it and then had a nice conversation with her when I walked her out to the lot. Okay, well,

where's the wiener come into this thing? I haven't heard anything about a wiener yet. No, there was no weener involved in the validation. Anyways, I asked her if she would like to get dinner on Friday night, and she said she would, and I got her number and I called her and we went to dinner. What's her name, by the way, Christina? Christina? And how was dinner with Christina?

Dinner was good. I mean, I feel like we had a lot of chemistry, and I like veal and not everybody likes feel and she wanted the veal too, so we ended up ordering the same thing, which I thought was kind of a cool thing, and dinner went good. Do you guys both ordered veal? In other words, you're both fans of slaughtering baby calves. I like that about both of you. Seems nice. That's not what I think about when I'm eating veal. I like the way feels

pay so I'm not worrying about the process. Oh, that's why I like it. I just I picture the whole things go on while I'm eating veal. I like it. Now why I like it at all? Actually, you're making me like it a lot less by giving me that that story. So if dinner went well and everything else, why do you think she's not calling you back? You know, I don't know. I mean, there were a couple of things. Now I'm trying to run the night through my head

and like, did I do something wrong? Did I have you know, my fly open or my food in my face? Or how I ate? Here's the fly open? The winner? I knew it. Don't talking to you that you're a wiener guy. I knew it. Yeah, that's you're right. How did you figured me out? But realistically, the only things that I think that could have possibly not gone well, I did have to take a work call, which I don't like to have to take work calls if I'm on a date. But I was expecting a client to call,

so I had to walk away. Did you tell her at the beginning of the night that that was going to happen. I did not tell her that I was expecting a call, But when I got back, I said, this was an important job call. I had to take it. Did you, I mean, did you leave her stranded by herself for like a half an hour while you were on some conference call or something. Well, no, I stayed at the table for a minute and then walked away.

But it was no more than fifteen minutes long, I mean, and she had an appetizer and some wine, so okay, So it wasn't I have a hard time thinking that that would be the reason not to call you back. If you're like, hey, sorry, it's an important work call. Yeah, that me too. And then the only other thing I'll be honest with you. You know, I'm not going to say the restaurant, but veal is a particular type of food,

and if you like veal, you like feel. But I thought that it was okay, and I kind of was like, oh, you know, how's your veal? And she's like, Oh, it's great, blah blah blah. And I was like, oh, she's asked me, and I was like, it's all right, it's okay. And maybe I don't know, maybe she thought I was being hypercritical or a snob about the food, but I wasn't.

I was just giving you my honest opinion. Honestly, I think both of you a red flag for me, Like, obviously, if a guy's taking a call in the middle of a Friday night date, he's going to be putting work in front of me our entire relationship. Wow, I'm just saying wait, wait, wait, But first off, you have to understand she's in the same business. She knows that I'm in sale, but she wasn't taking a call during the

dinner because she's a buyer. She's not a feller. She's not as important as I see how she understands that sales. There are the time zones, there's other people, people that are working at different hours where when you're buying it, you're not, as I don't say, in demand, but sometimes you have to answer the phone when you're selling because if you don't lose out of sale, then you lose out of money, and then you can't afford the dinner.

I think a red flag. A red flag would be taking your wiener out at the dinner table like you said you did earlier. Okay, for the record, I didn't take out my wiener for any portion of the date, dinner or after anything. All Right, So when we call her and ask why she's not calling you back, she's not going to say that. Okay, how did everything end with her? You know, I kind of went in for a kiss and I kind of got more of a handshake hug kind of thing. But it was the first date,

so was it awkward? I don't think it was awkward. It was. It wasn't like I was like an inch from her lips and she you know, suck her hand. To me, it was you know, I mean I was kind of coming in kind of to like hug kiss, and she kind of put her hand up a little bit, so it was it was that's all. She shut you down. No, it wasn't a shutdown. It was just it was just that wasn't a shutdown. Shut It sounds like a shut down to me if you go for a kiss and

you get a handshake. Have you heard anything from her since your date? No? I called her once and I've text her three times. Okay, well, we'll play a song come back call her and get your second day update. All right, okay, great thanky, hang on rooking. Jubil in the Morning. Julian is on the phone with us and today he wants to call a girl named Christina, and Julian claims that he wasn't shut down at the end of the date when he went in for a kiss

and she shook his hand instead. He still says that that wasn't him getting shut down, but in my definition of beginning shut down, that is probably the best way to describe it. Listen, I didn't get shut down. I went in for a kiss. It was you know what, it was a professional date. You know, it was a work thing, so it wasn't appropriate. I understand. Let me get shut down either way. I think you got shut down. Yeah, all right, Well we're gonna get her on the phone

and see why she's not calling you back. Here we go on doll the phone of it right now? Hello, Hi, can I speak to Christina please? Yeah? This is she Christina? How are you? This is Jewel from Brooke and Jewel in the Morning. Who is this Jebil from Brooke and Jewel in the Morning, the radio show. Um, okay, why are you calling me? What is this? I'm calling you because one of our listeners asked if I could get you on the phone to ask you a few questions. Okay,

that's really weird. It's a segment we do on our show called the Second Date Update. So you recently went on a date with a dude named Julian. Okay, and Julian emailed us and said that you haven't been responding to any of us text messages or phone calls. So he thought maybe we could get you on the phone and find out why you're not calling Julian back. All right.

He told us, you know, you're like a client where he works, and he asked you out and he said, you guys went out to dinner and had a pretty fun time. That's what he told you. Yes, good time. So you didn't have a good time? Um, I wouldn't call it that. No, Okay, what was wrong with it then? Because according to him everything was great? He thought maybe he seemed like a food snob to you because he disagreed with you on the veal that you guys ordered. Yeah,

he definitely has a very refined palette. That's one way to put it. Okay. He also said that he took a phone call in the middle of the date. A. Yeah, he did that. It was a little rude. Okay, yeah, I could see how that would upset you. I mean, that wasn't even the worst part of the date. What was the worst part then? Um? I mean he's he's a very stood sales guy, but he's kind of got this seething anger underneath all of it. You see seeing

he was seething anger underneath his charismatic salesman personality. I mean, yeah, that's literally the best adjective I can pick to describe it. It's using anger what happened? Because when you described the date to us, he didn't say anything about anger or being pissed off him. It's a very very picky person and a very shallow person and quite rude. Actually what did he do? I mean, for example, he was super

picky about the wine. I ordered red wine and it was brought to me I guess, in a white wine glass, and he got extremely upset and he turned it away and made them bring it back. If one of those a holes at the restaurant that like acts like he owns the place when he's somewhere and that nothing's good enough for him. Yeah, it's pretty much exactly like. He went to the bathroom and when he came back, he was in a huge huss and he said, you know,

there's no more paper towels in the bathroom. You know, they was a fancy restaurant and then establishment, and people should be refilling the sapor towels and going on and on about this tiny and significant thing that how dare they? It is annoying when they don't have favorite towels. I will say that, but I don't know if I'd ever get that pissed off about it. It's not angry, it's annoying. Yeah, absolute worst part of the entire night. That favorite towels

thing wasn't even it. I mean, he completely dressed down the waiter and just disrespected him when we were leaving. As he's leaving, he says, I paid forty dollars for a piece of beal I wouldn't feed to my dead grandmother. He says, Oh, you're lucky I don't come back and burn this place down. The round and I was like, did I hear you correctly? He threatened to burn the place down. He did. He threatened to burn it to the ground. He said that to the waiter. I'm serious,

that was the comment of the night. I've complained the restaurants before, but I've never threatened to burn them down. I would destroy this place. Did he realize what he was saying or did he act like this is just normal banter at a restaurant? Now he knew exactly what

he was saying. When we were leaving the restaurant, he turned to me and his attitude completely changed, and he made it sound like I had been suffering and I was a victim, and that everything was absolutely horrible, and you know, the things I didn't really care was so insignificant, and his mind, he must have been standing up for you. Yeah, I really want him to stand up for me and bird down the restaurant we were eating at. Some girls would be thankful for that. Some girls would be what

a man, Yes, And he's as true gentleman. He's threatened to burn down a restaurant in my honor. So I know it was really ridiculous. So I mean, I said good night, and I'm going to leave at that. That's understandable. I guess I want to get out of there as soon as possible. Threats of arson on a first date. Usually, I don't want to talk to that up. Ever. Again, that's just shame because he's actually on the other line listening and wants to talk to you. You are you serious? Yes?

I am, Hey, Christina, I wasn't angry. I was standing up for you. I was standing up for having good service at a restaurant. I mean, I worked hard for my money, and you know what, the service sucked and the food sucked and there was no paper towels. What kind of place doesn't have paper towels? Do you have to wash your hands to go eat and they don't want you to try your hands? I mean, I mean, right, you're I mean I'm not gonna not wash my hands.

If I looked, I saw there was no paper towels, and now I'm like, I'm gonna wipe it all my pants and I'm gonna walk out if you look at my pants are wet. I couldn't even impress you with that. I was like, I wasn't angry. I was I was being chivalry. I mean, I was defending you. You're trying to burn the place down. I mean, how how is that chival That's it's threatening? Okay, Okay, I think I

shouldn't have said that. That was me getting frustrated because I was like, Okay, the paper towels is one thing, the wine was another thing, the appetizer is another thing. Because I wasn't, I was. I got so frustrated. I'm talking. I st you guys, stopped talking. I heard this already. I heard it the last sun. I'm hearing it again.

You're just repeating yourself, you know, if, like, if you keep focusing on little insignificant things and being a rude everybody, Like, I don't know how women do stand to go on a day with you. It's no wonder. You've been divorced twice? Who what? Who? Who? You just brought up my two divorces, so my ex wives I share that with you. Are you kidding me? I mean, that's rude, that that's that's

that's mean. But that's an example. It's two strikes. And so this woman clearly couldn't deal with all of your crap, my crap, my crap because I want good customer service, because I'm at a restaurant and I want some customer human brain and be respype. That's full about it. You were, respectfully just brought up That's why this is how people in the service industry. You don't know if it's threatened people. You know what. I'm in the sales industry. You know what.

I take care of customers. They need to take care of customers. You should know them. I mean, we're in this industry. But I don't even know what to say. I've stayed in my case. I don't know. In the surface industry, sometimes you have to put your foot down to get some respect. So I was doing that with the waiter in the restaurant, and you know what, I think you need to show me a little respect, because you know what I was defending you. I think so too.

That's why I'd like to ask Christina, would you like to go on a second date with Julian? We will pay for it. Hell no, no, no, I don't you answered so quickly there, You know, if you talk to me like that, no way, Julie, Are you sure? I mean, I could find you, guys a great restaurant that Julian could burn down. A gonna pass on that. You know what, if you want to settle for mediocre service, then you don't want to go date some schleck who will take

you to the drive through. I want to go to a four star restaurants where they treat you like a customer. We're right, we are supposed to get this stuff. Come on, I mean, really think you know what? You know what? You've pushed the envelope so far. I was fine just knocking another date with you, but you know what, I really don't want to do business with someone who has FTHX like you. Oh oh, now you're taking personal and

you're putting it in business. Really, I'm going to tell the people I work with my company will not be doing business that's your company anymore. Are you cheating me based on a date? You know it wasn't a date, it was your attitude that did it. I am done with this conversation. Goodbye. Wow, Julian, what just happened? You didn't get a second date? And I think you might be losing your job soon too, because I want customer service. Well,

I think it's because you're threatened to burn the place down. Yeah, you're a total douche bag about it. I apologize for the burning the place down. I mean that was you know, it was one batting after another and it pushed me beyond. But but I mean the rest of the stuff was all customer service. A slow service, bad food, wrong glasses. Yeah, we know. The lest man broke and jubil in the morning.
