Speaker 1: Second date update. We've got an urgent email for a
Speaker 1: second date update from one of our listeners who says
Speaker 1: they need our help immediately. Well, okay today, And we
Speaker 1: actually had a different call scheduled with another listener before this,
Speaker 1: but we had to move them back to tomorrow because
Speaker 1: this one can't wait. We've got Marissa on the phone.
Speaker 1: Apparently she went out on a date last night and
Speaker 1: now if we can't get a hold of the guy,
Speaker 1: she says she's going to get the authorities involved. What
Speaker 1: so were the many people that come to Marissa? Are
Speaker 1: you okay? Are you in danger? No? I'm not in danger,
Speaker 1: but I'm really kissed off and angry because this should
Speaker 1: not have happened. And I'm about to call the cop.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, it's a good instinct to always call us
Speaker 1: for any emergency before you call the police. Well, we'll
Speaker 1: get to it in just a second, but first, tell
Speaker 1: us what's the name of the guy that you're trying
Speaker 1: to get in touch with? Christopher? I met him on
Speaker 1: this app. Okay, Okay, I think we all need to
Speaker 1: take a deep breath, because like there is some anger
Speaker 1: coming out in those words. I mean, you hadn't even
Speaker 1: said anything bad. Tell us more about Christopher er Well,
Speaker 1: I met him on this dating app, and I always
Speaker 1: crossed our friends with everybody I date on these apps
Speaker 1: through my roommate Maddie. So I told her about this
Speaker 1: guy and she was like, yeah, it looks great. You
Speaker 1: should definitely go ahead. And that's how they always get you,
Speaker 1: don't they. They always get you that way, looking all
Speaker 1: nice and respectable. Yeah, And so I go on the
Speaker 1: State right and it's fantastic. I'm not saying it wasn't great.
Speaker 1: I've never had this much fun ever. This is what
Speaker 1: I was expecting. So what did you and Christopher do?
Speaker 1: We went to this bar and then after we went
Speaker 1: to a dance club and it was it was really awesome.
Speaker 1: So then we went to my place obviously because we
Speaker 1: were all like feeling it. We hooked up and then
Speaker 1: we woke up and we were both so hungover. But
Speaker 1: he was like, let me get you breakfast, and I
Speaker 1: was like, oh my gosh, it's a dream come true.
Speaker 1: Yes yeah, okay, wait wait wait, hold on, was this
Speaker 1: this morning or was this yesterday morning? This was yesterday morning, Okay.
Speaker 1: So he was like, I'll get breakfast and can I
Speaker 1: use your car because he didn't have his car because
Speaker 1: we ubered home, okay, And so he laughed and then
Speaker 1: hours passed and I'm texting him and nothing, nothing, nothing,
Speaker 1: for like three hours. He stole, wait he still has
Speaker 1: your car? Yes? And he never came back. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: so you still haven't had breakfast yet. Not the point,
Speaker 1: not the point right now, we don't even care about
Speaker 1: this guy anymore. You need your car bag and get this.
Speaker 1: He picked up after like the fourth freaking hour, and
Speaker 1: he says, I'm so sorry. I'll explain everything to you,
Speaker 1: but I hope you'll understand what and then he and
Speaker 1: then he like hung up the phone. Yes, he come up,
Speaker 1: And I was like, what he must be like in
Speaker 1: trouble with the law. This is crazy. Yeah, and he's
Speaker 1: forwarding all my calls to voicemail. So I would really
Speaker 1: like you guys to call him, because like someone can
Speaker 1: get through to him. I think, I just so you know,
Speaker 1: I think you're being super kind and giving him one
Speaker 1: last chance to bring the car back before he becomes
Speaker 1: a legit felon. Yeah, And he sounded like he was
Speaker 1: really freaked out as well, but I don't know if
Speaker 1: he was just lying to me. It was a ten
Speaker 1: second brief encounter, so I'm not sure if he's lying
Speaker 1: or not. Yeah, he was in the drive through line
Speaker 1: trying to decide between a bacon, sand and sausage. A
Speaker 1: really bad time. Don't trust the one night stand that
Speaker 1: took your car and hasn't returned it. I know you
Speaker 1: guys are like laughing and it's really funny and this
Speaker 1: is like a crazy situation, but to me, it's like
Speaker 1: life or death, Like this is my car. I just
Speaker 1: randomly hooped up with me. I don't know, like what
Speaker 1: kind of disease is this guy. He's obviously like lying.
Speaker 1: I don't know what we're yea car stepped in maybe
Speaker 1: really Like this is really serious, all right, So Merissa, look,
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no guarantee when we call him that
Speaker 1: he'll pick up. It's just gonna be a random phone number.
Speaker 1: Like have you had some of your other friends try
Speaker 1: and call him first, Maddie, She tried, Maddie. Did Maddie
Speaker 1: get through to him? No? No voicemail, voicemail, voicemail. And
Speaker 1: we don't know anything else about this guy, right because
Speaker 1: you just met him on a dating nap, Like you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? I can for you his his
Speaker 1: dating profile location would probably be more than like if
Speaker 1: he likes to hike or not. We need all the
Speaker 1: background information we can get. So here's what we're gonna
Speaker 1: We're gonna play a song, we'll come back, and we'll
Speaker 1: call this guy for you. And if this doesn't work,
Speaker 1: I guess you're gonna have to call the authorities. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and did I mention he might have diseases or something
Speaker 1: that's a sticking point. But no, we're gonna play a song,
Speaker 1: we'll come back, and we'll try and get you your
Speaker 1: second day up dat. Okay, Marissa, Yes, please thank you?
Speaker 1: All right, and maybe eat something. Hold on all right,
Speaker 1: it's official. This might be the craziest first state ending
Speaker 1: we've ever heard on the show. Yeah. I mean it
Speaker 1: sounds like being over dramatic, like he tends to do
Speaker 1: drama king, but you're right, I'm serious because we got
Speaker 1: an urgent email today from a listener named Marissa who
Speaker 1: had to do a phone call to day could not
Speaker 1: wait or she's going to get the authorities involved people,
Speaker 1: which she was like, oh, do mind right away, it's
Speaker 1: an emergency, but like this is a legit emergency. I
Speaker 1: don't know she may need to get the authorities involved.
Speaker 1: It could happen because Marissa went out with a guy
Speaker 1: named Christopher. He ended up spending the night at her place,
Speaker 1: and then the morning offered to drive out and bring
Speaker 1: back some breakfast for the two of them, so she
Speaker 1: let him borrow her car to go do that, and
Speaker 1: then Christopher never brought it back. In the last twenty
Speaker 1: four hours, she's called and texted him a bunch of times,
Speaker 1: and he's only picked up once and quickly said he
Speaker 1: couldn't really talk, but he'll explain later and then hung up.
Speaker 1: So now Marissa's depending on us to get a hold
Speaker 1: of him and figure out what the hell's going on,
Speaker 1: or she'll have no choice. What's called the authorities, right, Marissa. Yes,
Speaker 1: I don't know why you're waiting so long, like you've
Speaker 1: been having me on this waiting line, like I'm freaking
Speaker 1: out only here. It's just what we do. We have
Speaker 1: to play a song in between the first and second part.
Speaker 1: It's just the radio business. And honestly, like at this
Speaker 1: point a couple of minutes isn't probably going to make
Speaker 1: a big difference to me. It's like days. I know,
Speaker 1: I know it is I dated a guy who was
Speaker 1: in for grand theft auto for a while too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding, I did. I really want to get
Speaker 1: to the phone call. But first, Marissa, before we do that,
Speaker 1: I just need to ask if he answers, because he
Speaker 1: might just ignore us too. Is there any other details
Speaker 1: about the actual date that I could bring up to him.
Speaker 1: I just might need to ease into it, That's all
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Before I started accusing him of things. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: whatever you're doing, just getting my car back. That's my
Speaker 1: one mission right now? Here we go. All right, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna dial the phone number. Let's see if he answers.
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, okay, your call has been forwarded to
Speaker 1: an automatic voice message system. Okay, he sent us straight
Speaker 1: to voicemail on that one. I figured that was gonna happen.
Speaker 1: He's not answering anybody's call. Why would you answer someone's
Speaker 1: cause if you just stole a car and I got
Speaker 1: to pick up an unknown number. Well, okay, we have
Speaker 1: another line. Let's try a different line. Yeah, who's this? Hey?
Speaker 1: Is this Christopher? Yeah? Who's this Christopher? Okay, don't hang up?
Speaker 1: All right. My name's Jeffrey from the radio show Brooke
Speaker 1: and Jeffrey in the morning. I really need to talk
Speaker 1: with you. Okay, you're in a lot of trouble, but
Speaker 1: that is not why you started. Jeffrey. This is important.
Speaker 1: I need you to not hang up. Christopher. What's going
Speaker 1: on here? We're doing something called a second date update
Speaker 1: because someone's trying to get in touch with you and
Speaker 1: or ignoring them, like, oh yeah, if this is Mariska,
Speaker 1: I'm dealing with it. Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on, man, Christopher,
Speaker 1: dealing with what? What are you dealing with? Honest sweets,
Speaker 1: none of your business. And I talk to her when
Speaker 1: I'm ready. I can't talk tough right now because I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm not ready for it. Okay, well hold on, when
Speaker 1: I'm ready. I will just relax, Christopher. Okay, we're like
Speaker 1: your last chance right now before it goes out statewide
Speaker 1: that you're on some wanted list. Man. And I'm not exaggerating.
Speaker 1: We don't want that to happen. I mean, I can
Speaker 1: see why she's concerned. All right. It's not like I'm
Speaker 1: not I'm not blind here. I It's just I'm screwed. Honestly,
Speaker 1: she thinks I stole her car. And it's not what happened. Well,
Speaker 1: you took it and didn't return it an explanation for why.
Speaker 1: I understand why she sees this guy, and that's what
Speaker 1: I'm worried about, because she thinks that I took it,
Speaker 1: but it's not what happened. Don't call the cops. I
Speaker 1: don't want to be a skeptic here, but if a
Speaker 1: guy who stole a car and doesn't bring it back
Speaker 1: tells me not to call the cops, maybe I shouldn't
Speaker 1: trust him. Yeah, no, definitely trust him. Look, you're gonna
Speaker 1: because Marissa's freaking out, just telling when to get breakfast sandwiches,
Speaker 1: and I went to two different places. They were both closed.
Speaker 1: The car runs out of gas, so I went on.
Speaker 1: I walked to get gas and I come back right
Speaker 1: and the car has been told. Oh so now I've
Speaker 1: tracked down where the car is and they want two
Speaker 1: hundred fifty dollars to get the car out. But how
Speaker 1: long did it take you to go get gas? Like
Speaker 1: a tope situation, isn't I don't work for the police.
Speaker 1: I don't know. So the car's impounded. It's an impounded
Speaker 1: car's impounded, right, I need two hundred fifty bucks to
Speaker 1: get it out. I don't have that kind of money
Speaker 1: right now. I'm talking to a guy today, so I'm
Speaker 1: gonna probably work it out with him, and I'll have
Speaker 1: the money and I can get to the car back.
Speaker 1: I was just hoping to get it to it right away.
Speaker 1: I don't want her to think that I took it.
Speaker 1: I'm doing my bet. Do you believe him? I don't know.
Speaker 1: Do you believe it? I believe that men like to
Speaker 1: try and fix things without telling anybody what they're doing
Speaker 1: and then inevitably make it worse. You just need to
Speaker 1: talk to her, man, Yes, seriously, this would have been
Speaker 1: so much better if you had just told Marissa upfront, like, hey,
Speaker 1: I had a problem and ran out of gas. Why
Speaker 1: are you lecturing me? I'm not lecturing you. I'm telling you.
Speaker 1: It's a good idea to tell the girl whose car
Speaker 1: you're borrowing that there's problems with the car. And it's
Speaker 1: also a good idea not to drive twenty miles to
Speaker 1: go get a breakfast you which, for what it sakes,
Speaker 1: maybe she should go hook up with her and then
Speaker 1: steal her car. That's what you can do to Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: the good news as soon as I gets the car back,
Speaker 1: you can steal it and date her, all right. The
Speaker 1: good news is, even if you're not willing to tell
Speaker 1: her directly, you've kind of told her indirectly because I
Speaker 1: need to let you know. She's been on the other
Speaker 1: line listening this entire time dating. Are you kidding me? No,
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding you. She needed to hear this, Christopher,
Speaker 1: Marissa there. I've been trying to reach you. You haven't
Speaker 1: been picking up your phone. Is creat I know, Marissa,
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. Trying to fix the situation. I don't
Speaker 1: want to talk to you. Fixed it. Why didn't you
Speaker 1: just tell me? You just tell me it's fine, like
Speaker 1: I would have accepted that. This is crazy, that you're
Speaker 1: keeping everything secret, right, it makes me really I just
Speaker 1: want to feel really stupid, like you ran out of gas.
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, it's kind of boot on it.
Speaker 1: It's just it's awful. Yeah, but I need to get
Speaker 1: to work, like I need to get my car back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. I feel terrible about all this. But
Speaker 1: we did have a really fun time though, right, I
Speaker 1: mean that was some fun bad dancing that we did
Speaker 1: right right, Yes, until this look I'm just trying to
Speaker 1: lighten the mood. It's just a situation I don't have
Speaker 1: any control over. I can still get you that sandwich
Speaker 1: right You would have lightened my mood if you pulled
Speaker 1: me right away, that would have been great, and I
Speaker 1: would have been knowing what's going on and be able
Speaker 1: to get my car and be able to eat you.
Speaker 1: I could uber and get there before they told my car. Like,
Speaker 1: I really wish you contacted me. I wish you answered
Speaker 1: the phone I need. I wish you'd property. I wish
Speaker 1: you'd put gas in the carting a lot of pointing
Speaker 1: fingers and productive thing. I wish we never met. Dude, Christopher,
Speaker 1: what's your plan with the car? How are you getting
Speaker 1: the money? I told you I want to talk to
Speaker 1: a guy later day and we're gonna work this all out.
Speaker 1: But on the off chance that doesn't work, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe we could have like a backup plan that we
Speaker 1: figure out. Now, what's the backup plan? I mean I
Speaker 1: feel responsible for what happened, So I mean I could
Speaker 1: at least pay for half. If you want to vend
Speaker 1: me one hundred and fifty dollars, where what we'll hold up?
Speaker 1: You want her to send you money and just trust
Speaker 1: that the car is an impound and that your story
Speaker 1: is legit, because there's still the chance that you stole
Speaker 1: this thing and that you're like on the lamb or something.
Speaker 1: I don't know the money. Way would I be talking
Speaker 1: about this on the radio if I spoil the car.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know I'm innacing here. I just
Speaker 1: I just need enough money to get the car to impound.
Speaker 1: I guess I have about one hundred hours. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you want to chip in, that's fine, or you know,
Speaker 1: you can even lend hurt your car and telling I
Speaker 1: get the car. We're gonna wait, Marissa, are you Marissa?
Speaker 1: Are you buying any of this? Do you trust him?
Speaker 1: I will give you the one fifty under one condition.
Speaker 1: What's that that you have my car back at apartment
Speaker 1: within two hours. I can do that. I can do that, Marissa.
Speaker 1: This guy still has your car and you're actually gonna
Speaker 1: send him more money. Look, I'll have it there in
Speaker 1: a couple of hours. I know exactly where it is.
Speaker 1: Last time. Not gonna be a problem. I trust you,
Speaker 1: but you better be here, okay once the Venmo payment
Speaker 1: goes through. After that happens, then Christopher, we would like
Speaker 1: to send you and Marissa out on a second date
Speaker 1: and we'll pay for it. Oh, this is romance. Let's
Speaker 1: talk here. Okay, he minors great two hours. That sounds great.
Speaker 1: Is that what you said, Chris? Yeah, yeah, I had
Speaker 1: a great time. Oh my god, Now believe him. He's like, sure, No, no, Marissa,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be your fault at this point. Okay,
Speaker 1: when your car never returns, you're only gonna have yourself
Speaker 1: to blame. Like you seriously think that he's not gonna
Speaker 1: come back and give me my car, Like no sounds
Speaker 1: to me, No, no, no. You guys are all thank
Speaker 1: you with your hearts. You need to be thank you
Speaker 1: with your brains. I don't know what you're doing. You're
Speaker 1: gonna get robbed even greater. Like you guys are still cynical. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I would have hung up if I stole the car,
Speaker 1: but I'm still here talking about it. Yeah yeah, I
Speaker 1: just need the money and then I'll get the car
Speaker 1: out because you saw window to take the money. I'm
Speaker 1: the only way to truly test this, Marissa is to
Speaker 1: send him the full two hundred and fifty dollars and
Speaker 1: see if he does the right thing. If you're serious,
Speaker 1: I'll do it. No, do it. You're welcome. Brooke and
Speaker 1: Jeffrey in the morning.
