Speaker 1: Second date. Update, we're entering dangerous territory just by doing
Speaker 1: this phone call. Really because the guy we're speaking with
Speaker 1: may or may not currently be involved in an ongoing crime.
Speaker 2: Okay, oh no, did he call us collect?
Speaker 1: He did not call us collect, And I said may
Speaker 1: or may not. It's nothing major, just a run of
Speaker 1: the mill grand theft auto that happened during his first
Speaker 1: ye If he's not, why would you even bring it up.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, we've all been there. Yeah, one second,
Speaker 1: you're flirting talking about your hobbies. Next minute, you're hot
Speaker 1: wiring a Beamer convertible while she looks out for the cops.
Speaker 2: Nice choice.
Speaker 1: I'm just speculating on it. But let's talk to Jason
Speaker 1: and get all the details first. Jason, welcome to the show.
Speaker 3: Hey, thanks for having me.
Speaker 2: It's like it's actually a Honda a chord.
Speaker 1: You know, a lot to unpack here, But why don't
Speaker 1: you start at the beginning. Tell us about this happened
Speaker 1: on a date?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Wait, you actually hot wired a car?
Speaker 3: No no, no, no, no, I did not.
Speaker 2: I may may have made that part of but I mean,
Speaker 2: like I thought so.
Speaker 4: But then his response and I was like, wait, what
Speaker 4: that's on me.
Speaker 1: Has this been diesel? I was just guessing. But tell
Speaker 1: us about the date that you went on. Who's the girl?
Speaker 3: So I met Laura on a dating app?
Speaker 2: Okay, what'd you like about her?
Speaker 3: You know, honestly, like, she's just my type. She's got
Speaker 3: a great personality, she's funny, keeps a conversation.
Speaker 1: Clean, criminal record important exactly, Yeah, really good credit score.
Speaker 2: That's funny, Jason, that's awesome.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And you know, she was just my type physically
Speaker 3: attractive too. She definitely like worked out all that stuff.
Speaker 3: But anyways, nice, we're having a date, you know, decided
Speaker 3: to meet for dinner.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty normal so far.
Speaker 3: Yeah, everything's going fantastic. To be honest with you, and
Speaker 3: I normally would just be, you know, after a first date,
Speaker 3: just split ways there and just to say goodbye. But
Speaker 3: it was going so well that I was like, do
Speaker 3: you want to maybe grab dessert?
Speaker 2: Oh? Okay, go to a second spot. You're just feeling it.
Speaker 2: You don't want it to end. That's such a great feeling.
Speaker 1: So was the ice cream shop so far away? You
Speaker 1: needed to steal a car in order to drive there?
Speaker 1: How do we get to stealing a car?
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, I didn't steal a car. Oh okay.
Speaker 3: We were on our way to get dessert. She offered
Speaker 3: to use your car, which was fine. We were walking
Speaker 3: back to her place.
Speaker 1: Use your car.
Speaker 2: Most people say drive but yeah, okay, oh yeah, so.
Speaker 1: A truth to go use the products.
Speaker 3: Yeah okay, yeah, So she offered to drive her car,
Speaker 3: and so we walked back to her place. And on
Speaker 3: the way there, I get a text message from my
Speaker 3: friend and he's he tells me about this pop up
Speaker 3: event that this DJ we love is putting on. Oh
Speaker 3: it's outside the city, so it's not just like walking
Speaker 3: distance and okay, okay, yeah, I mean, and so I
Speaker 3: asked more. I just said, do you mind if I
Speaker 3: borrow your car for something really important?
Speaker 2: Wait? What why would you ask her to go with you?
Speaker 5: Do you have a car?
Speaker 2: You could go get your own car.
Speaker 3: I don't have a car right now?
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, so you asked you asked to borrow her
Speaker 1: car to go to this event?
Speaker 3: Probably, I mean, like it was our first date and
Speaker 3: my friend just hit me up. I really, it wasn't
Speaker 3: really my role to invite her. My friend invited me.
Speaker 3: It was. It's like it's like our favorite deal.
Speaker 4: Like that is an inappropriate question on a first date,
Speaker 4: but asking to use someone's car totally cool.
Speaker 3: I was I was in a pinch and I wanted
Speaker 3: to make it there. She did give me permission, she should.
Speaker 3: I trust you?
Speaker 2: Wow, I would make you she said, yes, he must.
Speaker 1: You must be a pretty awesome guy or a very
Speaker 1: good looking.
Speaker 2: Guy, or she's just not very good at decision making.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm only decide with you on this case. I
Speaker 1: think there's something to you that made her trust you.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, like the car is fine. I'm trying
Speaker 3: to give it back. It's just the timing was off.
Speaker 1: Way, you still have it?
Speaker 3: I do have I've been trying to give it back.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, did she know why you took it? Like
Speaker 2: where you were going?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 3: I just said something important came up and she didn't ask.
Speaker 3: She just said, I yeah, ticket, sweetheart.
Speaker 1: She's probably thinking that some sort of like emergency where
Speaker 1: you have to like rush to the hospital.
Speaker 2: Or yeah, did you skip dessert too, Brooke?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Oh, raphic you cannot have jear me, Sue.
Speaker 3: There was no no at.
Speaker 1: Okay, don't know why she's not calling back.
Speaker 4: That's kind of like bailing on her though, because like
Speaker 4: the date was still continuing. So not only did you
Speaker 4: take her car leave, but you left kind of in
Speaker 4: the middle of plants.
Speaker 1: Physically bailed on. Well, hold on, was the show worth it?
Speaker 2: What all the show?
Speaker 1: I mean, Brooke cares about whether or not the dessert.
Speaker 1: I want to know about the show that he left
Speaker 1: to go see. You want to know about the girl.
Speaker 3: I mean, the show is great and I'm so glad
Speaker 3: I went.
Speaker 1: Okay, something good came out of it.
Speaker 2: She's not calling you back and you have her car.
Speaker 3: Well, she has left me some voicemails and she's like
Speaker 3: basically upset. But to here's the thing, though, I texted
Speaker 3: her the next day, but by the time she got
Speaker 3: back to me, I was already at work, and unfortunately, I,
Speaker 3: like I said, I don't have a car, so I
Speaker 3: took her car to work and then it's been like
Speaker 3: three days now.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. I mean I would be calling the police.
Speaker 4: Honestly, I would think that this guy has stolen my car.
Speaker 2: He's a total thief.
Speaker 1: You didn't think better than calling the police, call us?
Speaker 1: We have more stories.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, she is freaking out. Is her voicemails
Speaker 2: that she leaves. Is she just livid?
Speaker 1: Why do you always assume the worst brooke?
Speaker 2: But he has her car?
Speaker 1: Bet, she's casual, isn't she casual? Jason's freaking out?
Speaker 3: Well, it started casual, but now it's done like a
Speaker 3: handful of voicemails, and she's pretty upset. Yeah, okay, I
Speaker 3: mean like I'll tux her back and try to set
Speaker 3: up a time and she can't and then it's just
Speaker 3: like she just gets more angry.
Speaker 2: Are you looking for another date too? Or are we
Speaker 2: just trying to set up a time for y'all to
Speaker 2: meet and do this car exchange?
Speaker 3: I would love to go on a date with her
Speaker 3: and I to get this car back to her.
Speaker 1: Okay, look at that. Yeah, the fact that he has
Speaker 1: come to us asking for help returning the car proves
Speaker 1: that he's not a thief. He's not malicious, yes, and
Speaker 1: he wants to find love out of this.
Speaker 2: Whole experience, and a date would be a good time
Speaker 2: to get the car back.
Speaker 1: It would be, you know, So let's do this. We're
Speaker 1: gonna come back, We're gonna call Laura and we're gonna
Speaker 1: explain everything. Oh, get her car back to her and
Speaker 1: try and get you your second date update.
Speaker 3: I'm ready right here we go.
Speaker 1: Second date update Top three first date mistakes showing up late,
Speaker 1: being rude to the wait staff, accidentally stealing your date's
Speaker 1: car and holding onto it.
Speaker 3: For several days.
Speaker 1: So what a stereotype because that's what happened with one
Speaker 1: of our listeners, Jason recently, and stealing isn't really the
Speaker 1: right word, because he got permission from his date, Laura,
Speaker 1: to borrow her car temporarily.
Speaker 2: She thought it was probably for the night, but afterwards.
Speaker 1: Jason hasn't been able to coordinate a time and a
Speaker 1: place to return it, so he's been driving it around
Speaker 1: to work and to other events. Yeah, it gives us
Speaker 1: two goals for today's call. One is to get Laura's
Speaker 1: car back into her possession, and then two finaggle our
Speaker 1: way into getting them on another romantic date, which is
Speaker 1: going to be.
Speaker 2: Real hard when she's leaving him angry voicemails right now.
Speaker 1: But I believe in us. Okay, I want to know Jason,
Speaker 1: if we can get Laura on the phone, here, is
Speaker 1: it okay if we tell her that you took her
Speaker 1: car for a pop up DJ show?
Speaker 3: Honestly, I really would like to go on another date
Speaker 3: with her, So I'm hoping maybe we could just leave
Speaker 3: it out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a smart choice.
Speaker 1: Something up, a baby stuck in a well out on
Speaker 1: the countryside, so you went to go save it.
Speaker 2: I just think that maybe we just leave it generic.
Speaker 1: He needed the car, Okay, let her come to her
Speaker 1: own conclusions.
Speaker 4: Man, sure, I bet she doesn't really care. I bet
Speaker 4: she just wants her car back.
Speaker 1: Or Jason, you can tell her yourself if you feel
Speaker 1: up for it.
Speaker 3: Hey, yeah, I mean I guess you could kind of
Speaker 3: test the waters first, and.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm sure at the point when you're all laughing
Speaker 4: about the whole situation together, then you can throw him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you look back on this as a funny joke
Speaker 1: on your wedding day. Anyway, Let's call Laura here and
Speaker 1: we'll see if she picks up.
Speaker 5: Here we go, Hello, Hey, we're looking for Laura thinking.
Speaker 1: Hey, Laura, I'm gonna apologize in advance for this phone call.
Speaker 1: But you're on the radio right now with Brooke and
Speaker 1: Jeffrey in the morning. And were you apologizing thing?
Speaker 7: What I'm on the radio?
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, we're here to help.
Speaker 7: How how did you get my phone?
Speaker 5: Uber.
Speaker 7: I don't understand like.
Speaker 1: That why we were asked to call you from one
Speaker 1: of our listeners who he went on an interesting date
Speaker 1: with recently.
Speaker 2: God and you are the nicest person we may have
Speaker 2: ever had on this show.
Speaker 1: Immediate, sweetheart, are you sitting down right now?
Speaker 3: Yes? Why?
Speaker 1: Because the person that we're calling about actually he has
Speaker 1: your car.
Speaker 7: No, you're not talking about him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll calling for Jason. Ohh on behalf of Jason.
Speaker 1: We apologize so much for the confusion that's happened over
Speaker 1: the last few days.
Speaker 2: I mean, what a dummy he is.
Speaker 7: Well you should be apologizing.
Speaker 3: This is crap.
Speaker 7: I need to get my car back.
Speaker 1: You need to get me Yeah, yeah, we agree. That's
Speaker 1: part of what we're doing here. We'd like to help
Speaker 1: you and Jason coordinate a time in order for that
Speaker 1: to happen.
Speaker 7: But we also that's what I've been trying to do.
Speaker 5: Okay, it's not then.
Speaker 1: But the all us you know, the car confusion aside,
Speaker 1: Like Jason, pretty cool guy, right, I don't think that's
Speaker 1: a good.
Speaker 7: I wouldn't call him that. I wouldn't call him that.
Speaker 2: Can I ask, like, what were you thinking when he
Speaker 2: asked to borrow your car on a first date, and you.
Speaker 1: Said yes, and we said that in the nicest way
Speaker 1: posta yeah.
Speaker 7: Well okay, So I don't know what he told you.
Speaker 7: But at the end of our date, he was like, Oh,
Speaker 7: let's go get the sert, let's go have a nightcap,
Speaker 7: Let's have a sweet time.
Speaker 2: He said he was having such a good time with you.
Speaker 2: He didn't want the night to end.
Speaker 7: So well it did because he got a text on
Speaker 7: his phone and he looks at me and he was like,
Speaker 7: it's city Hall. I work for city Hall. It's an
Speaker 7: urgent matter, and I borrow your car.
Speaker 2: What he told you he worked for city Hall, like
Speaker 2: Batman or something, but.
Speaker 7: He said it's a matter of urgency. He like literally
Speaker 7: drives off like Batman.
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 7: I'm shocked. I wanted to help, he asked, very very sweetly,
Speaker 7: and I was like, okay, that's fine. And then I
Speaker 7: can't get in touch with him, right, So I call
Speaker 7: city Hall and try to figure out from his name,
Speaker 7: you know, because I was first law's name, right. But
Speaker 7: it turns out he doesn't really work for city Hall
Speaker 7: in an extremely professional matter. He works in the gemitorial apartment,
Speaker 7: which is fine, but I'm not sure why he would need.
Speaker 5: My car, Laura.
Speaker 1: Are you saying that if you're just a janitor at
Speaker 1: city Hall, then you don't have the authority to take
Speaker 1: someone's car on official government business.
Speaker 7: Yes, I'm saying that they have emergencies too.
Speaker 4: I mean it could have been a water main break, right,
Speaker 4: Like I'm just saying, like documents could have been at risk.
Speaker 7: But well, then why wouldn't he give it back to me.
Speaker 8: He's trying about thirty minutes away from calling the police,
Speaker 8: so he needs to get my cards.
Speaker 1: Not funny, And you don't have to do that because
Speaker 1: Jason is actually on the other line right now. You
Speaker 1: want car, wanting to drive it wherever you tell it that?
Speaker 3: What are you doing?
Speaker 7: Idiot?
Speaker 5: Like what, well he's hearing all that, Jason there, I
Speaker 5: don't care.
Speaker 7: I don't even know what this is, like he called
Speaker 7: the radios. Just how you guys that he did something illegal?
Speaker 1: Jason? Anytime you could jump in.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's okay. I don't even know what to say.
Speaker 3: I've been trying to meet up with you and stuff
Speaker 3: like that, and I didn't steal your car. It's not
Speaker 3: like I without you knowing.
Speaker 2: Just tell me what you use the car for.
Speaker 1: Go ahead.
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, I really want the opportunity to be
Speaker 3: honest with you because I do think it's important to
Speaker 3: be honest. And you know, first of all, I do
Speaker 3: work at city Hall, So I mean like I was
Speaker 3: telling the truth there.
Speaker 7: Yeah, got to give him credit for that, Laura, Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 7: I'll give him credit for mocking before the city hall.
Speaker 3: Sure.
Speaker 1: Okay, in cleaning out the paper towels in the bathrooms too.
Speaker 3: I will not take that personal because I'm know you're
Speaker 3: just trying to be mean and you're upset. But I
Speaker 3: just hear me out.
Speaker 6: It was a very okay waiting.
Speaker 3: So there was a huge pop up event that just
Speaker 3: happened that take place. It was a surprise, my are
Speaker 3: you kidding me? Just hear me out though it was
Speaker 3: My best friend texted me it was for the moment. Obviously,
Speaker 3: I would never try to hurt you or try to
Speaker 3: lie to you or do anything to like are you
Speaker 3: here right now? But it was like, so just it
Speaker 3: was our favorite dj.
Speaker 7: DJs.
Speaker 8: You made it seem like it was really urgent in
Speaker 8: the city Hall, like you're a freaking batman or something.
Speaker 6: Okay, And it was a pop up DJ event, well,
Speaker 6: where we were located in the time it was short notice,
Speaker 6: and where we were located and helped shut up.
Speaker 2: I think that's a really good advice.
Speaker 7: With a story that's not you. You call the radio,
Speaker 7: get me my car. I don't really want to ever
Speaker 7: speak to you again.
Speaker 1: I think the good news is that even though we've
Speaker 1: obviously gone down a rocky road here, their relationship and
Speaker 1: their goodwill is still intact.
Speaker 2: Are you hearing the same.
Speaker 7: I'm really okay, guys, I love that. Do you think
Speaker 7: it's funny? But I'm really not interested in this conversation
Speaker 7: in my car.
Speaker 3: I know you're not interested in this conversation right now,
Speaker 3: but what about a conversation when I drop off the car.
Speaker 3: We'd meet for dinner?
Speaker 1: We can have another No, the tempers are running hot
Speaker 1: right now. Maybe after we all calm down, we can
Speaker 1: think about, like maybe having a little bit of a
Speaker 1: romantic connection going on.
Speaker 7: Right So you would have a romantic connection with someone
Speaker 7: who stole your car for three days? That is stupid.
Speaker 1: I mean it works in the movies.
Speaker 8: I like, yeah, but I haven't been able to get
Speaker 8: to oh and I'm been having to get from friends.
Speaker 1: Jason would you be willing to take Laura to work.
Speaker 2: No, Jeffrey, shut up. She is gonna hang up before
Speaker 2: we get her her car back. I'm gonna say, like,
Speaker 2: in the next like hour, you should probably drop it off.
Speaker 3: Jason. How about thirty minutes.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, you were really lucky she hasn't called
Speaker 2: the car.
Speaker 3: I mean honestly, like I could probably do it in
Speaker 3: like closer to like forty five minutes, because I thirty
Speaker 3: minutes is cutting away too close and got up. I know,
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to be a pain. Laura. You just
Speaker 3: you want it now, and that's fine.
Speaker 1: But at forty five minutes, his favorite DJ set doesn't
Speaker 1: end for another twenty minutes, so I gotta shut out.
Speaker 1: You can return the car at a morning concert.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I just dropped the car.
Speaker 7: As long as you get there in forty five minutes.
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm all right.
Speaker 8: Are you right?
Speaker 2: We did what they did it?
Speaker 1: Congratulations, Jason. You're not going to jail.
Speaker 2: Well, we don't know.
Speaker 1: She could be waiting. Yeah, look, Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 2: Oh man, are you serious?
Speaker 1: Didn't you get to offer them a gift card for
Speaker 1: ten percent off oil changes a jiffy lose.
Speaker 2: I mean, Jeffery your positivity on this one.
Speaker 5: Wow?
Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, is she going to get her car back?
Speaker 2: That's what I'm worried about.
Speaker 1: Well, you better or else the cops are going to
Speaker 1: be coming after him.
Speaker 5: I guess you know.
Speaker 1: Where he lives. I don't think so, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But it would be funny if the police were there
Speaker 1: waiting for him to show. She could him and say
Speaker 1: wait here.
Speaker 2: I don't think he'd find the humor funny for him, but.
Speaker 1: For us hilarious.
Speaker 2: He calls us from jail for an awkward Tuesday?
Speaker 1: Can you mail me out?
Speaker 2: We're like, no, maybe his story is going to end
Speaker 2: up as a laser story.
Speaker 1: We're going to keep you updated about this one way
Speaker 1: or the other. Out you'll find out, yeah, exactly. But
Speaker 1: we can always try and help you with your dating life.
