Speaker 1: Second date update. You know a lot of people bring
Speaker 1: things to a date, like flowers, candy, duct tape. Sometimes
Speaker 1: it's good to bring a surprise for the person you're
Speaker 1: going on a date with. Melanie, who's on the phone
Speaker 1: for a second date update right now, got surprised with
Speaker 1: something on her date that I'm not sure most people
Speaker 1: would like. And I don't even really know if Melanie
Speaker 1: liked it, but we'll find out what it is in
Speaker 1: just a second. What's up, Melanie, How are you hey?
Speaker 1: I'm good? How are you pretty good? So, first, tell
Speaker 1: us about the guy that you went out with. What's
Speaker 1: his name? His name is Anthony, and man, he's a
Speaker 1: really really sweet guy. We met on a dating app
Speaker 1: and we had chatted for a bit ahead of time,
Speaker 1: and this is the first time we were going out.
Speaker 1: What were you feeling leading up to your first in
Speaker 1: person date with him? I was feeling really good. I
Speaker 1: was feeling optimistic. He's scared. Well. I think that many
Speaker 1: people who have dated has felt that too. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: didn't have any of that usual like trepidation. I don't know.
Speaker 1: He just seemed really kind, all right. And how did
Speaker 1: the date go? Well, I would say it didn't go great,
Speaker 1: but really it was kind of a disaster. It wasn't
Speaker 1: his fault, it wasn't my fault. It was just kind
Speaker 1: of what happened. What happened? Now, I'm so curious. Well,
Speaker 1: we went to this like one of those Japanese hibachi restaurants,
Speaker 1: you know, like where they like cook in front of you. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So we met at the restaurant and he's like, let's
Speaker 1: just like step outside for a second. And I was like, oh, okay,
Speaker 1: and he said he had this surprise for me, and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh boy, maybe I was wrong about
Speaker 1: this not being weird. But we went outside and he
Speaker 1: opens his jacket and on the inside of his jacket,
Speaker 1: like sticking out of one of the inside pockets, there's
Speaker 1: a hamster. What Yeah, wait, he brought a hamster to
Speaker 1: a habachi restaurant. I know it sounds maybe like odd,
Speaker 1: but it was actually really cute. So the hamster's name
Speaker 1: is Einstein, and so I guess Einstein wasn't feeling well
Speaker 1: earlier that day. So he was like, I didn't want
Speaker 1: to cancel, but I felt bad leaving Einstein at home.
Speaker 1: And it was just it was I don't even know.
Speaker 1: If a hamster sick, you get little hamster pute. I
Speaker 1: don't know. He wasn't running in his little wheel like
Speaker 1: he always does. That's what Anthony told me. And he's like,
Speaker 1: he just looked so sad. And I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's so sweet that you, like, were so in tune
Speaker 1: with your your little buddy. Okay, so sick hamster. Awesome
Speaker 1: points for him, apparently, Yeah, he was just being thoughtful.
Speaker 1: So also get a table at the restaurant. We maybe
Speaker 1: kept him in the jacket. Yeah, rodents in restaurants usually
Speaker 1: not a good mix. I don't know. So what happened,
Speaker 1: Like you said, something terrible happened. Well, yeah, so we're
Speaker 1: sitting down, we're eating dinner, we're just having a really
Speaker 1: great time, really good conversation, great connection, and at one
Speaker 1: point I just looked over and Anthony just looked really weird.
Speaker 1: He looked like something was wrong. I didn't really know
Speaker 1: what was happening, and he just leaned in and he
Speaker 1: whispers in my ear that Einstein is gone, like he died.
Speaker 1: He wasn't in his pocket anymore. Oh, I thought like
Speaker 1: he knew that the hampster passed on in his jacket. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it broke my heart because like I obviously knew
Speaker 1: how much Einstein met to Anthony. So he's terrified and
Speaker 1: he's like freaking out, but liked to still be like
Speaker 1: cool and just you know, oh my god, what did
Speaker 1: you do? You tell the waiter? I'm sorry our pet
Speaker 1: hamster got loose in here. We didn't tell anybody at first,
Speaker 1: because like we figured maybe we could just find him
Speaker 1: on our own, and like, yeah, you don't want to
Speaker 1: tell everybody that there's a rodent running around in there
Speaker 1: and having free Yeah, so we didn't want to like
Speaker 1: let anybody know. So we kind of like started taking turns,
Speaker 1: like kind of you know, casually peeking under chairs and
Speaker 1: like wondering throughout the restaurant. Like we ordered to extra
Speaker 1: desserts just to stay a little bit longer so we
Speaker 1: could keep looking. Did you ever find Einstein? No, you
Speaker 1: never found him. We never found him. I mean we
Speaker 1: probably looked for over an hour, hour and a like
Speaker 1: we were looking for a long time. What did he do.
Speaker 1: I mean, for a dude that would like his hampster
Speaker 1: so much he'd take it into a restaurant if it
Speaker 1: had the sniffles. I'm sure he was beside himself that
Speaker 1: he couldn't find him. He looked so defeated, like it
Speaker 1: was like the saddest thing I've ever heard. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: lost his little buddy. Yeah, so how'd you guys end everything? Then?
Speaker 1: I didn't really know what else to do for him,
Speaker 1: so he just wanted to go home. So he left
Speaker 1: and I left, and I just wow, Yeah, that was
Speaker 1: just a little over a week ago now. And have
Speaker 1: you gotten any update from him if he did in
Speaker 1: fact called the restaurant or fine Einstein or I've been
Speaker 1: trying to contact him and I texted him and he
Speaker 1: just wrote back, no, just one word, no nothing, did
Speaker 1: you respond to anything else? Or that's all you've heard
Speaker 1: from was just the no. That's all that I've heard
Speaker 1: from him. And I've tried to contact him again, Like
Speaker 1: I just I want to be there for him because,
Speaker 1: like I mean, even though I don't know him very well,
Speaker 1: like we had such a great time leading up to
Speaker 1: that point, and I mean it was I had never
Speaker 1: experienced anything like that before. I mean, as cute as
Speaker 1: it was, it was obviously different. I had never had
Speaker 1: someone pull a hamster out of their pocket before. All right, well,
Speaker 1: well we'll play a song and then come back and
Speaker 1: call him and see if we get update on the
Speaker 1: hamster and maybe get you a second date. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah, hang on frooking jubil in the morning,
Speaker 1: I'm calling today's second date update. It's a curious case
Speaker 1: of the missing Hamster. If you missed the first part.
Speaker 1: Melanie is on the phone and she wants to call
Speaker 1: a dude named Anthony. They went out to a restaurant
Speaker 1: to eat, and he brought along his pet hamster. Yeah
Speaker 1: you heard me right. Sounds weird, but she actually liked it.
Speaker 1: But during dinner, the hamster escaped from his jacket and
Speaker 1: they could not find him in the restaurant. So there's
Speaker 1: a hamster name Einstein wandering around some Habachi restaurants somewhere,
Speaker 1: probably eating great, way better than he was before. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can more exciting you guys. And she hasn't really
Speaker 1: heard from Anthony since that date, other than when she
Speaker 1: texted him to ask if he found Einstein, and he
Speaker 1: just responded no, and that's all she's heard from him.
Speaker 1: So we're about to get him on the phone and
Speaker 1: find out if she can get another date. But more importantly,
Speaker 1: no disrespect to you, but I just want to see
Speaker 1: if Einstein has been found. If not, then I'm going
Speaker 1: to start writing a new Netflix documentary. I hope that
Speaker 1: he gets found as well. I hope that there's going
Speaker 1: to be great news from Anthony. Well, don't you think.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's been a week. I understand that this
Speaker 1: guy's upset, but I also feel like he should thank
Speaker 1: you for all the time and effort you also put
Speaker 1: into looking for this hamster. I'm just trying to think
Speaker 1: about if it was me and you're grieving, you're upset,
Speaker 1: So I'm just trying to like let him have his
Speaker 1: space that he needs. But I just do want him
Speaker 1: to know that I'm here to support him. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: here we go. Well I'm gonna die this one of
Speaker 1: her right now. Okay, okay, maybe the hamster answers the phone.
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. Hello, Hi, can I speak
Speaker 1: to Anthony please speaking? Is this the Anthony that went
Speaker 1: to Halbachi restaurant a little while ago, And who's hamster
Speaker 1: got loose? A who is this first? I don't know
Speaker 1: if this is the right Anthony. Well, can you tell
Speaker 1: me who's calling? Please? Sure? This is Jewil from Brook
Speaker 1: and Jewil in the Morning. It's a radio show. Okay, Hi, Hi,
Speaker 1: how are you? I'm fine? Why are you calling about
Speaker 1: my hamster? Do you know where he is? No? I don't.
Speaker 1: I would love to find out, though. I'm actually calling
Speaker 1: because we do a segment on a show called The
Speaker 1: Second Date Update, and Melanie emailed us. She told us
Speaker 1: about your date with your hamster Einstein, and said that
Speaker 1: she's tried to start talking to you again, but you
Speaker 1: haven't really been responding to anything. Yeah, yeah, I know, Melanie. Wow,
Speaker 1: that sounds like you don't like Melanie. Well, she's the
Speaker 1: reason why my hamster got loose in the first place,
Speaker 1: So why is the reason? Because she said you took
Speaker 1: the hamster in your coat pocket to a restaurant, it
Speaker 1: sounds like maybe that decision is the reason. That is
Speaker 1: not the reason. I have taken him plenty of places
Speaker 1: before that, and he's always been fine. I was having
Speaker 1: dinner with Melanie and she is actually a pretty floppy eater,
Speaker 1: and food was like falling down in her lap. There
Speaker 1: were crumbs and pieces of rice like falling onto the floor.
Speaker 1: And Einstein, which is my hamster's name, Einstein loves that stuff.
Speaker 1: I even said to her, I said, hey, be careful,
Speaker 1: you know you're doing a lot. You're getting food all
Speaker 1: over the place. He's like, oh, it's fine, don't worry
Speaker 1: about it. Whatever. And suddenly I looked down and now
Speaker 1: Einstein's gone, whoa. Okay again, if your hamster can't control
Speaker 1: himself in a restaurant, then you probably shouldn't have brought
Speaker 1: him in a restaurant. I don't think that that's her fault. Still,
Speaker 1: So you blame her for your hamster being lost? Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: she never took responsibility for it. She helped me look
Speaker 1: for him, which was nice, but it was her fault
Speaker 1: the whole time. He's never once said, oh, hey, i'm
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sorry that I didn't I'm sorry that
Speaker 1: I let your hamster get loose. But okay, wait, hold on,
Speaker 1: if that's your theory. If that's your theory, the reason
Speaker 1: why your hamster got loses because he saw Melanie spilled
Speaker 1: food everywhere, Why wouldn't you be able to look down
Speaker 1: and see the hamster then eating Melanie's food. I just
Speaker 1: know that that's something that he likes, and you know
Speaker 1: he'll go for that. But obviously he didn't because he
Speaker 1: wasn't there, Like he was gone. He didn't go for that.
Speaker 1: He ran away. Excuse me, who are you? Okay? I
Speaker 1: just lost my hamster. You're putting me on glass right now.
Speaker 1: I have to have that hamster for almost five years.
Speaker 1: They say hamster's only lives to three and a half
Speaker 1: and he's almost five. Wow, he's an old guy. I
Speaker 1: know you're hurt. I just don't think that it's her fault.
Speaker 1: That's all in. There's her fault, all right, and she
Speaker 1: owes me. I've been through so many hard times that
Speaker 1: Einstein has always been there for me. He's as an
Speaker 1: elderly hamster, and I didn't want to take my eyes
Speaker 1: off him. He was a little sick that night, so
Speaker 1: I wanted to bring him in. Whatever. It's just it's
Speaker 1: not fair. Not fair. Well, I'm sorry, it's not. Now
Speaker 1: you're telling me it's my fault. Okay, I'm a bad
Speaker 1: parent because I was the one who brought my hands
Speaker 1: for someplace that I shouldn't have. It's definitely yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: unless Melanie grabbed your hamster and like rolled it across
Speaker 1: the floor. I don't see how it's really her fault.
Speaker 1: Obviously she didn't purposefully do it, but it is her fault,
Speaker 1: and I just wanted her to take responsibility for it
Speaker 1: and say something. Oh, come on, why didn't you tell
Speaker 1: her that? Then? If you're that passionate about her taking
Speaker 1: the blame for this, why didn't you talk to her
Speaker 1: about it? I was in grief. What am I supposed
Speaker 1: to do? How to shouting at her at that time
Speaker 1: make her not look for it? Yeah? Okay, So I
Speaker 1: guess you've moved on. You're in a different stage of
Speaker 1: grief now, and I guess you can shout at her
Speaker 1: because she's actually on the other line listening and wants
Speaker 1: to talk to you. Yep, Melanie, you still there? Are
Speaker 1: you scared? Now? I'm here? Okay, I'm here. Wait, hold on,
Speaker 1: you've been listening this whole time. Yeah? I heard you
Speaker 1: say everything, And what do you have to say for
Speaker 1: your else? I don't really understand why you think it's
Speaker 1: appropriate for you to turn your anger to me. I
Speaker 1: know that you're upset and you're hurting about losing Einstein.
Speaker 1: I saw it that night. I stayed with you for
Speaker 1: over an hour looking for him. Not because it was
Speaker 1: my fault. I literally can't believe you would say such
Speaker 1: a thing that you think because it was your fault.
Speaker 1: I can't believe you're still saying it's not your fault.
Speaker 1: All you had to do would say I'm sorry and
Speaker 1: man up and say you know it's my fault. You
Speaker 1: shouldn't have done these things. I'm sorry I did those things.
Speaker 1: But Anthony, take a deep breath, because you're being you
Speaker 1: sound crazy. So let's start there. This is not a
Speaker 1: loss of family member. So what am I supposed to do? Yes,
Speaker 1: you did. You're supposed to be angry that you lost
Speaker 1: your family member, and you're not supposed to be blaming
Speaker 1: me for something I didn't do. I thank you for
Speaker 1: helping me find him, but you were just fixing a
Speaker 1: situation that you caught and then you didn't even letter
Speaker 1: and say I'm so sorry he's gone. You just said, oh,
Speaker 1: did they find him yet? Yeah? And that was my tone.
Speaker 1: Thank you for putting my tone onto what I said,
Speaker 1: because truly I wasn't tell surely I was texting you
Speaker 1: with an attitude that's why I texted you. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: if your friend's grandma dies, you just hext them and say, hey,
Speaker 1: you find you called him and consoled him. Anthony, you
Speaker 1: are not compared a missing hamster to a dead grandma.
Speaker 1: It's not the same. I had hamsters, they both died.
Speaker 1: You get over it. I mean, I don't mean to
Speaker 1: be idea. Yes, boy, you have to be like life.
Speaker 1: It has an end for everyone. And your hamster live
Speaker 1: long well pastor we don't even know that I sign
Speaker 1: is dead. You just got loosen the best life ever.
Speaker 1: What have you done to actually find him? Did you
Speaker 1: go back to the restaurant? Have you talked to the
Speaker 1: stat I'm going to that restaurant editor day for lunch,
Speaker 1: and I've called them and tried to explain it anonymously.
Speaker 1: There's a bit of a language barrier, but every time
Speaker 1: they tell them they think I let Luther Rath in there,
Speaker 1: and I keep trying to tell them The'm like, no,
Speaker 1: it's a pet mine. Like now you just round like racist,
Speaker 1: so like, that's all my ram. We're working at the
Speaker 1: front of the restaurant, spoke perfect English. You're just trying
Speaker 1: to put the blame on everyone. Else, they don't understand you.
Speaker 1: I'm making a mess. You made just this many crumbs
Speaker 1: we were eating at a table together, Melanie. You know what,
Speaker 1: I hear you saying a lot of stuff right now,
Speaker 1: But the one thing I don't hear you saying is
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. It's my fault. Oh my god, Wow, Anthony,
Speaker 1: I feel like you're really missing out on a girl
Speaker 1: who has been understanding, who's been compassionate, who didn't think
Speaker 1: you were a total freak for bringing the hamster in
Speaker 1: the first place on a first date. Why would I
Speaker 1: be a freak for bringing a sick family member? Dude,
Speaker 1: you brought a sick rodent in your pocket on a date.
Speaker 1: That's weird. Dan, So what people bring dogs places all
Speaker 1: the time? How is that any different? Answers are way
Speaker 1: cleaner than dog. I don't know if that's true. I
Speaker 1: will argue with you on that one, but I'm with
Speaker 1: you on the dog thing. I guess that's your pat
Speaker 1: and you want to take it out. But still, I
Speaker 1: think you shouldn't blame Melanie for the entire thing. Oh really, Okay,
Speaker 1: so you're on her side too, that's fine, that's fine.
Speaker 1: I guess everybody's against you, Anthony. Yeah, everybody's against me.
Speaker 1: You and my therapist should team up and say I'm
Speaker 1: wrong all the time. You're in therapy too. Huh, learned
Speaker 1: a lesson? Maybe you learned a lesson that you shouldn't
Speaker 1: be bringing a hamster into a restaurant. Maybe next time
Speaker 1: I'll just be with a clean eater and we'll be fine.
Speaker 1: Nor Anthony, well you'll be eating alone a lot. Wait wait, wait, wait,
Speaker 1: we got to get an official answer, Anthony, would you
Speaker 1: like to go out with Melanie again on a second date?
Speaker 1: We will pay for it hard path. I don't have
Speaker 1: any more hamsers I can afford to loose, Melanie. I'm
Speaker 1: guessing you're not heartbroken about that now, Oh, no, where
Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm glad we cleared this up because wow,
Speaker 1: all right, you'll never forget this though, momy no, not
Speaker 1: for a very long time. Well, thank you both for
Speaker 1: your time, And if anybody knows the hamster's whereabouts, please
Speaker 1: send him away, please, I'm serious. If you see Einstein,
Speaker 1: he's mostly white, a little bit of brown, auburn's hats
Speaker 1: towards his head, and he's very sassy. Sassy little hamster
Speaker 1: run around town. Make sure you snatch him up and
Speaker 1: send him to the radio stations. Broken Jupil in the morning,
