Speaker 1: Bread and butter wines pair with the life moments you love,
Speaker 1: offering a rich and jammy Cabernet sauvignon, a silky smooth
Speaker 1: piano now are, and a buttery Chardonnay. Bread and butter
Speaker 1: wines are delicious. Find a bread and butter wines in
Speaker 1: your favorite store. Second date of date. If you want
Speaker 1: to guarantee a successful first date, how exciting does the
Speaker 1: activity need to be? I mean, we talk in hang
Speaker 1: gliding over an erupting volcano. Wow, I was thinking maybe
Speaker 1: going to a bar, Jeffrey, maybe sorting through a pile
Speaker 1: of their junk mail looking for pharmacy cubons. Okay, those
Speaker 1: are very big extremes there. Yeah, I'm saying the activity
Speaker 1: should probably fall somewhere in between. Okay, good, all right.
Speaker 1: And one of our listeners named Natalie recently had a
Speaker 1: date with a guy that maybe wasn't the most thrilling
Speaker 1: idea ever. Oh no, that means it's terrible. Well, let's
Speaker 1: find out, Natalie. On the excitement scale from one to ten,
Speaker 1: where would you rank your date on the excitement I
Speaker 1: would rank it a three because it was very low key. Okay,
Speaker 1: And is that a good thing? For you for a
Speaker 1: first date? Yeah, okay, And so what's the name of
Speaker 1: this guy that you want us to call today? His
Speaker 1: name is Eric, And how do you mean him met
Speaker 1: him online? I always wonder, like, how do you pick
Speaker 1: who you're actually going to go out with? Like? What
Speaker 1: about this guy? Said? All right, he's worth meeting in person? Well,
Speaker 1: I mean it's online dating show, it's all going to
Speaker 1: be visual at first. And what stood out to me
Speaker 1: the most was that he looks a lot like that
Speaker 1: oldest Jonas brother, Like, no, I sent one for whatever's Joe?
Speaker 1: Like the other guy Kevin? Is it Kevin? Yes? Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: who always has a really bad facial hair. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: have a thing for that one. Well, I mean I
Speaker 1: think he's really good looking. Should you should check out
Speaker 1: Nick Jonas's videos for just for your viewing pleasure? I
Speaker 1: should recommend that I get it? Like I dated a
Speaker 1: guy who I thought looked like a white trash version
Speaker 1: of Justin Timberlake. You know, like, you're not all the
Speaker 1: way there, okay, but it's close enough. We all have. Sorry,
Speaker 1: So your type is the old Jonas brother. Now, so
Speaker 1: what did you guys do for your date? Well, the
Speaker 1: goal was to go to his favorite bar, and he
Speaker 1: was saying, they have great food and drinks and it's
Speaker 1: kind of like steam oriented. When we got there, we
Speaker 1: had found that it had been closed down for rodent infestation.
Speaker 1: Oh so yeah, and that deterred you from going in?
Speaker 1: Of course it is okay, well, I mean it was closed,
Speaker 1: so yeah, we couldn't get in. Missed out there, but yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I mean I'm picturing like a Beauty and the Beast
Speaker 1: type thing, where like the rodents are dancing and singing
Speaker 1: in the kitchen. Months into that what you do instead?
Speaker 1: So we go to his apartment and we get inside
Speaker 1: and he has this massive, like size of a coffee
Speaker 1: table puzzle and I that that sounds blame, but I
Speaker 1: am super into puzzle too. I oh no, that sounds cool.
Speaker 1: A puzzle I heard. I thought you had a huge
Speaker 1: dog puzzles. Okay, puzzles, all right, He had like a
Speaker 1: three thousand piece puzzle on his coffee table. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: is not what I expected at all. I thought that
Speaker 1: you were setting this up. Like in my mind, I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, this guy knew that the bar was
Speaker 1: going to be closed and he just wanted to get
Speaker 1: you back to his house, did a quick seven eleven trip,
Speaker 1: and then he walks you into a puzzle. Yeah, were
Speaker 1: you shocked? I would have been shocked. Honestly, it was
Speaker 1: kind of puzzant. Please shots. Yeah, this is kind of
Speaker 1: turning out to be a really cool, low key date.
Speaker 1: It Nattie's the ideal woman that's just like not disappointed
Speaker 1: by anything that you do. But I mean, honestly, like
Speaker 1: it's kind of an ideal situation because if you're sitting
Speaker 1: down at a puzzle, do you have something else to
Speaker 1: focus on? So there's no like awkward silence. But then
Speaker 1: it's like a really good chance for you guys to talk.
Speaker 1: How did that go? I mean it went really good.
Speaker 1: It was flowing really really well. At one point, like
Speaker 1: I found this puzzle piece and I put it in place,
Speaker 1: and he like lost his mind. He was like, I've
Speaker 1: been trying to figure this out the days. Now. He
Speaker 1: jumps up and he kisses me. Really, that's right, put
Speaker 1: you okay? So he kisses you for finding the right
Speaker 1: puzzle piece. That's romantic. Yeah, I honestly it was a
Speaker 1: really good first date. It really was. And I went home.
Speaker 1: I was just giving him all of the signals I
Speaker 1: possibly could saying how great the date was and how
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see him again, and he was also
Speaker 1: giving that back as well. And he hasn't called you
Speaker 1: at all. No um. So we've texted like a couple
Speaker 1: of times over the last few weeks, and the last
Speaker 1: response that I thought from him, I was asking, like,
Speaker 1: you know, hey, you know you want to get together
Speaker 1: and work somewhere on the puzzle, and he just responded
Speaker 1: with no thanks, busy whoa. Yikes. So after what you
Speaker 1: describe as such a good date, Like, what do you
Speaker 1: think would cause that reaction? I mean, the only thing
Speaker 1: that comes to mind, if I'm going to nitpick about
Speaker 1: everything about the dates was when we got to his
Speaker 1: favorite place and we noticed it was closed. I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, thank god we didn't go here. That's
Speaker 1: so disgusting. Yeah, his favorite spot you're poo pooing on.
Speaker 1: I could see how he could possibly be angry. Sometimes,
Speaker 1: you know, like something happens, you don't really think about
Speaker 1: it in the moment, and then you stew on it
Speaker 1: later and you're like, wait a minute, that sucks. I
Speaker 1: guess you could say it's puzzling one. Let's end on
Speaker 1: that one. Okay, we're going to play a song. Come back,
Speaker 1: call Eric and maybe we can get you guys to
Speaker 1: play scrabble or something together. Okay, that would be great.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it would be because hold on Adam second update.
Speaker 1: If you're just tuning in for the second date update,
Speaker 1: It's like one of those love stories that you see
Speaker 1: in the movies, not the blockbuster movies in theaters with
Speaker 1: the straight to DVD ones where the love interest is
Speaker 1: like Christian Slater in his fifties I Infestation. Basically, Natalie
Speaker 1: feels like she met a guy who's like the missing
Speaker 1: piece in her life. So many puzzle analogies, out of
Speaker 1: thousands of options out there, he's the one that just
Speaker 1: fits perfectly in that space that she's been searching for.
Speaker 1: You know, whenever she gets bored, there's a game and
Speaker 1: a guy that she can turn to for relief. It's
Speaker 1: almost like, what's that called a puzzle battleship. Yeah, just
Speaker 1: like battleship. He's the battleship to her aircraft carrier. Is
Speaker 1: that right, Natalie? That's right. I knew i'd a nailed
Speaker 1: it without She's with it. I love it was like
Speaker 1: i'd always really what you're talking about, I'm just describing
Speaker 1: their date. Basically, Natalie met a guy named Eric online,
Speaker 1: who she describes as looking like the least famous Jonas
Speaker 1: brother Kevin. Kevin, right, but his name is Eric, and
Speaker 1: they didn't get to go to the bar they wanted
Speaker 1: to because it was closed down, so instead they went
Speaker 1: back to his apartment and played puzzles. Is that what
Speaker 1: you're saying? No, I think you did. I think you
Speaker 1: do a puzzle. They did a puzzle. Yeah, there it
Speaker 1: is together, and but she right, you rated it really
Speaker 1: high though, Nallie, right, you liked it. I did. I
Speaker 1: liked it a lot better than the original date they
Speaker 1: had played. Yeah. Yeah, So now we're going to try
Speaker 1: and call it Eric and see if we can get
Speaker 1: him to do another puzzle with you. How are you feeling?
Speaker 1: I'm excited to find out what's been going on because
Speaker 1: I have been so baffled by all of this, right,
Speaker 1: because your description does not match what he texted you,
Speaker 1: which was something about like basically don't ever talk to
Speaker 1: me again. Yeah. I mean I've even just like reached
Speaker 1: out to my girlfriends and like, okay, am I missing something?
Speaker 1: Like what's going on? Here you are missing? Oh I
Speaker 1: love him. We have a group of girls invested in this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, They're gonna call Eric right now and try
Speaker 1: and get your second date update. All right, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: here we go. Hello, Hi, can I speak to Eric please?
Speaker 1: This is Hee. Hi Eric, how you doing? My name
Speaker 1: is young Jeffrey at work on the radio. Do you
Speaker 1: have a moment to speak with us? Okay? Okay, yes, Well,
Speaker 1: we're doing something on our show called a second date update.
Speaker 1: That's where if you go out on a date with
Speaker 1: someone and afterwards they're not calling you back, they can
Speaker 1: reach out to us and we'll try and figure out
Speaker 1: the reason why. Okay, So we're calling on behalf of
Speaker 1: a girl named Natalie. Wow. So you remember going out
Speaker 1: with Natalie. She wants to know why aren't you calling
Speaker 1: her back? She feels like she had a really good
Speaker 1: time with you. Wow. So you're calling me to find out? Okay, Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: we went out. It was cool. That was a question mark.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I feel like when we
Speaker 1: talked to her, she was really excited about you. We
Speaker 1: should break down the date for you, maybe piece by piece. Okay,
Speaker 1: I know you're into that stuff. Yeah, he is. I
Speaker 1: know we heard that you met her online. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: that you were supposed to go to one of your
Speaker 1: favorite bars, but unfortunately it was closed down. So instead,
Speaker 1: you guys grabbed some drinks and went back to your
Speaker 1: apartment and did a puzzle together. Oh my god. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know how you know all that well, she
Speaker 1: told us. Yes, yeah, I mean that still is just weird.
Speaker 1: But yeah, okay, yeah, that's what we did. And the
Speaker 1: shocking the most shocking part to me was that you
Speaker 1: actually had a puzzle back at your place. I thought
Speaker 1: for sure you had set the whole thing up, like
Speaker 1: you knew the bar was going to be closed, just
Speaker 1: as an excuse to get her back to your house. No, no,
Speaker 1: no, no no, no no no, I did not know the
Speaker 1: bo was gonna be closed. And yeah, I love puzzles.
Speaker 1: She said that she was really surprised, but she had
Speaker 1: a great time with you. So with all this good news,
Speaker 1: what's the reason that you're not talking to her? I mean,
Speaker 1: we did have a really good time. I don't know
Speaker 1: how much she told you. I just told you what
Speaker 1: she told us. But we'd like you to fill in
Speaker 1: the missing pieces for us. Well, missing pieces is kind
Speaker 1: of what it's all about, Like, yeah, what are they? Well,
Speaker 1: I would like to know where they are. There are
Speaker 1: two pieces missing from my puzzle. Wait what, They're not
Speaker 1: in my apartment, so that means she had to have
Speaker 1: taken them. Wait, what are you accusing her if stealing
Speaker 1: puzzle pieces? I mean, I don't want to just come
Speaker 1: out and accuse them paste puzzle. I'm just saying we
Speaker 1: were there, we did the puzzle. I'm working on this
Speaker 1: puzzle every day. It's right in my living room. There
Speaker 1: are two pieces that are gone, so she's the only
Speaker 1: person who's been there. So those things all go under carpet.
Speaker 1: Why do you think she would take puzzle pieces? Exactly?
Speaker 1: Why would somebody take puzzle pieces? You have any idea
Speaker 1: what would be in it for her? Wait, she can
Speaker 1: see him again. I just figured it out. If she
Speaker 1: holds them for ransom, he has to call her. It's
Speaker 1: not like a guy's sweater. It's a piece of the empire,
Speaker 1: state building or whatever he's building there. What are you
Speaker 1: talking about? She would have told us that if that
Speaker 1: was her plan when we talked to her. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know why somebody would do that. It's really not cool.
Speaker 1: But what if the box came without the pieces? I mean,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of other explanations, right, like what if
Speaker 1: I don't know, some factory worker that put it all
Speaker 1: together was playing a prank on you from the beginning.
Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with her not counting them.
Speaker 1: They were all there. He serious, you count Did you
Speaker 1: look inside your vacuum because you said you vacuum your floor?
Speaker 1: I did? You did? And I believe that from a
Speaker 1: man who actually counts the puzzle pieces. That is crazy.
Speaker 1: Actually emptied out the back and bag and went through
Speaker 1: it for like half an hour. Nothing was in there.
Speaker 1: Guarantee you that the only explanation is that she's got them.
Speaker 1: That's maniacal. If she really took this, I know, Well,
Speaker 1: I feel like maybe we should ask the accused puzzle
Speaker 1: thief herself. Absolutely, and Eric, Natalie is actually on the
Speaker 1: other line listening and wants to talk to you. What Natalie, Yeah, surprised? Hi? Eric? WHOA,
Speaker 1: Oh my god? Hey, are you kidding? You think that
Speaker 1: I stole two puzzle pieces to hold them a ransom?
Speaker 1: It makes sense. I don't know about holding ransom, but
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that you got the pieces. You know what.
Speaker 1: I didn't take them because I had better things to
Speaker 1: do with my life than take puzzle pieces. You just
Speaker 1: instantly jumped to the conclusion, Oh, I can't find two
Speaker 1: puzzle pieces. Oh, Natalie must have taken them. I couldn't have.
Speaker 1: I don't know Nip placed them. Since it took you
Speaker 1: how many days to find the piece that I found
Speaker 1: in an hour? That's a really low blow. You saw
Speaker 1: me working. I'm good at puzzles. This is like my
Speaker 1: whole this is what I do. I can't see that guy.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, sure, you're really good at puzzles. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to deny that, but maybe I'm better. Oh, I
Speaker 1: see what you're doing. You're just saying that you can
Speaker 1: come back to the apartment, plant them, and then say, look,
Speaker 1: I'm better than you. Okay, Eric, I think you need
Speaker 1: to slow down. I don't think anybody is that competitive
Speaker 1: with puzzles that she would come back at plant them
Speaker 1: just so she could defeat you in your puzzle game.
Speaker 1: You'd be spuzzed. She's super sketchy. She's taken these things.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. I don't know who's telling the jo
Speaker 1: I don't know. Actually, I'm completely blown away. That I
Speaker 1: haven't had the cops coming to knock on my door
Speaker 1: because you called them about you're missing two pieces of
Speaker 1: your freaking puzzle. Not yet they haven't. I definitely considered
Speaker 1: following them, So you're lucky I didn't. Okay, so you'll
Speaker 1: consider calling the police, but you never considered calling me
Speaker 1: and saying, hey, Natalie, I'm a grown man and I
Speaker 1: was wondering, did you buy a chance accidentally take two
Speaker 1: pieces of the puzzle? Eric, You liked Natalie, she liked you.
Speaker 1: You guys had a really good connection. You're blowing this
Speaker 1: way out of proportion. Man. Yeah, you should put like
Speaker 1: a missing sign up in your neighborhood with pictures of
Speaker 1: the missing puzzle pieces and might help you find it better.
Speaker 1: It's a centerpiece, always is, Jose, always is. Owners are easy.
Speaker 1: I think the only thing I can do at this
Speaker 1: point is asked, Natalie, would you be willing to take
Speaker 1: a lie detector test some once and for all if
Speaker 1: you dat or didn't take the puzzle pieces? I mean,
Speaker 1: I know that I didn't, but I'll do it just
Speaker 1: to prove to mister Eric over here that I didn't
Speaker 1: do it. All right, Eric, There you go. Eric, that's
Speaker 1: a pretty strong statement from her. Yeah, are you just
Speaker 1: paying for the stuff? Because if you are, I'm it
Speaker 1: we'll pay for the cheapest version of it. Yeah, we're
Speaker 1: not going to do the FBI one because I think
Speaker 1: that one's pretty pricey. But no, we'll do like the
Speaker 1: mall security lie detector test if they let us use that.
Speaker 1: If you guys are serious, let's do this. Okay, all right, Natalie,
Speaker 1: what do you say you and Eric like go to
Speaker 1: the mall and take a lie detector test behind coals together. Dude,
Speaker 1: that is a good way to meet and then they
Speaker 1: can buy another puzzle of them. Yeah. Um, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'll go and do this test just approval point, and
Speaker 1: then that can be it. You know what is this stupid? No,
Speaker 1: we're miracle workers. We just brought two people together, much
Speaker 1: like two pieces of a puzzle. Yes, bringing them together.
Speaker 1: You do it again. Actually, we're the puzzle experts. It
Speaker 1: turns out the only thing I'm worried about is that
Speaker 1: there's still a puzzle thief on the loose. You guys
Speaker 1: haven't caught them yet, that's true. I'm curious. Listen, if
Speaker 1: anybody out there has seen either of these two puzzle pieces.
Speaker 1: Please let me, we'll get right off, better moving ninety
Speaker 1: two point five
