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