Second, dipping out on a first date without saying goodbye. Some of us have done it. Some of us have had it happened to us. Jose even went to the extreme of hiring producer Boyd as a waiter once to come up to his table with an envelope and say, excuse me, sir, are you mister Jose Bolognos STD results just came in from the kitchen. It's not good, looks the burning Yeah, okay, I don't want to eat from that kitchen. The point is there's creative ways to get
yourself out of dates. And one of our listeners had it happened to her recently. She just wants to know the reason why. Her name is Tara And Tara, did your guy use the STD trick too? No? I right, you wish though. I'm really glad that you're laughing right now. Yeah. I mean, it's a good sign that you're not taking this all too personally. I'm laughing at it out. Okay, tell us about the guy that you went out with. What's his name, what's his deal, his white cell blood count?
We want to know everything. Okay, So, yeah, right, I met this guy. His name is Mac. He was really cute. He was nice. We met like at the police stage when we were both donating some canned food. Oh my god, I'm glad you finished that sentence. Wow. Yeah, no, No, we were donating canned food, and I don't know, we had a lot in common, and somehow we got on this conversation about like what's the best corn on Earth?
And corn corn? Yeah, like is there different types? Of course, it's something an unusual question to have just come up, like naturally I heard another word and I was like, oh, there's all types of that front there. Yeah. I guess we were donating like probably canned corn or something. Why did I not put that together? Sweet corn? You like that tricolor stuff? That makes sense? Well, my favorite is
a roasted corn. Actually. Yeah. So he says to me, Hey, maybe we should go out to the fairgrounds because I don't think you believe Mary said he didn't believe me about the corn or whatever, Like you're talking like a corn on the cob at the fair slather it in butter. I mean that maybe the first time ever that a flirty corn conversation to an actual date. But good for you, Tara, not a kind of corny See that's why it doesn't work. Yeah, you're right, all right, Well you ended up going to
the fair with him? Yeah, so I met him there at the fair date. I really haven't heard about it yet. You know, I had only take one girl to the fair ever, And it's fun trying to win the prize. Yeah. What's the next thing that she says is the ferris wheel collapsed? Didn't heard a bunch of people? You were still at the fair? Okay? Please, it's a good location. I mean, how was it? Was it a fun date for you, Tara? Yeah? Yeah, it was great. I mean it was you know, we met there and we tried
the corn. He agreed was fun. We had a good time. It's a cute date. That's super hot food to eat the in front of someone. Yeah, yeah, how you do it? Yeah you should have seen me. I was like trying to make it all sexy. Just got like butter all over. But anyways, I kept walking around. We had some drinks moment on ride, we played the duck shooter game. I don't know if you guys know that. Yes, So where did it go wrong? I don't know, Like that's what
I'm trying to figure out. Oh, you don't know like when we played the duck Shooter game, he didn't win, but I did, and I won this huge panda. I'm okay already like feeling seriously about a little fair games as we want to win you p Are you serious? Your ego is that gradule? Yeah? My god, it's just as a guy, you want to be able to show up for your day and do something special, and when you fail in front of a girl, it's really embarrassing for a fair game. Did his attitude change after you
won the panda and he didn't? Yeah, you know, like I don't know. I thought we were having fun moving around and then he had a little edgy over it. And it didn't seem like he was the whole a grudge or anything. I mean, it was only a panda, but holding a grudge he was holding a panda just feels like a red flag. But okay, so you were able to move on after the duck Hunter. Yeah, so he seemed to let it go and he was fine. I gave him the panda because I had used the bathroom.
He was okay, holding it. Okay, come out and he's gone. He took off. Yeah, where's the panda? Panda? The panda was there. He left the panda, but he was gone, Oh no, that's like an emergency escape row. I've never had to do that. It's really weird. It can't be over a fair game. I mean, yeah, it's not that intense. I might be on it. I would just sulkle the rest of the night and ruin the date. I would
What did you do, Tara? Well, I texted him because I figured, oh, maybe you know, he went off to use the bathroom himself, it's something to eat, you know whatever. But he didn't get back to me. So I was like, Okay, that's weird. So how long did you wait before you realize he had left left? I thought I waited probably maybe in another forty five minutes. Oh oh you for saying, yeah, no, no, she's sad panda. Oh So anyway, I laughed, and I was kind of mad obviously, yeah, i'd be more than
kind of Yeah, that's rude. So I kind of was. I didn't I didn't text him fright away. I waited probably about a week and then like one night, I don't know, I had to chew too many wines, you know, I was a little mad, So I kind of sent him a drunk text. I didn't mean to. I was like, I don't know, he deserves it. Why are you holding back? Like? Why do you even want to call this guy? Maybe something horrible happened to him and he left the panda
what he was abducted at the fair? I mean, what could possibly it's happened to me before and then and then I never text back. Yeah, he did go after this text He did them initially when I was at the fair, but he did. He sent me a sorry with a dad Oh that was it. He does feel guilty. He does it sorry with one little sad vase. Yeah, but it sounds like you don't really want to get another date with him. You're more were interested in finding out the reason why he ditched. Yeah, that's kind of it.
I need like closure. I feel like, I mean, I don't know. I just don't understand where went wrong. All right, Well let's try and find out where you did go wrong. We're going to play a song, come back, and we'll call Mac for you and try and get your second date. Update. Okay, okay, great, thank you. I just can't get that image out of my head. A lonely stuffed panda bear left all by himself, abandoned in the middle of the fair grounds with nobody there to hug in. It's an image that's gonna haunt
my dreams for months. Wow. And I guess our listener Tea got abandoned there too when her date Mac disappeared randomly. But I know Tanna sounds like a strong independent woman. Yeah, that poor helpless panda was just left sitting in the rain, crying out for someone. The snow and the tornado nearly took him and he is just crying out for anybody to love him. And I want to get some answers and some justice today for Tara, but mostly for that
sad helpless panda pan abandoned at the fair ground. Tara, how long has it been since the panda's traumatic day at the fair I think it's been like four days. Oh, okay, only four I was picturing like two weeks in my mind. But she needs answer now. We're not gonna wait two weeks. She got an answer, Well, we're looking for a little bit more of an explanation, So let's call Mac right now. Demanding an explanation. Yes, Panda needs to know. That's right, Jeff,
So here we go. I'm in a Dalla's number right now. Let's do this. Hello. Is this Mac? Yeah? This Mac mask is calling Mac the panda abandoned her Mac. It shouldn't laugh. Excuse me? Oh what was that? Look? Mac, I'm calling from the radio show Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning, and we're trying to get some answers here for one of our listeners that you went on a date with recently. Oh um, Like wait, your radio station calling about like like the second date thing. Yeah, okay,
you've heard about it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I have. All right, so I don't even think that you should be eligible for a second date. But here we are. I apologize for my co host Brook. She's a little bit bitter because we heard the story of what happened with you and Tara at the fairgrounds. Yeah, but we only heard one side of it. We're calling right now to get your end of the story. Yeah, you ditched her? Man, Why did you ditch her? I? Actually I feel very
I'm so embarrassed. Like I have to tell you, I really liked Tera a lot, and everything was going really good on the date. I gotta tell you. Is that your go to move then? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? And I really have meant to call her, and but I've been dealing with like, literally a lot of stuff since I was on that date. Stuff A text takes like two seconds. What I mean, did you get an emergency call or something? Is that why you had to leave while she was in the bathroom. I'll explain. I act was just the
weirdest thing. While she was in the bathroom, a kid came up to me like sixteen seventeen, okay, and asked me if I would buy him some beer. Why would you buy a teenager beer? Because I don't know. They were just like, you know, they looked just underage. So I just thought i'd help him out and I said sure, and I went to the beer area. Oh my god, so many more red flags popping up. You guys, I know it sounds weird, but I mean I was a kid too, and I don't know. This is like, let
me just buy this kids some beer. And immediately I got the beer and cops came out. You were buying teenagers beer, but they were like narcs man, is that what you're saying? Yes exactly, And I was shook. I never expected that to happen. I was like, this is going to be a five second thing, and I was instantly cited for providing miners with beer. Took me out of the park to get my info, and it gets worse.
I hadn't paid my registrate. They looked up my plates on my car, and I hadn't paid my registration for like three years. Oh so you just driving around for three years on expired tabs too. Sometimes you just kind of put it aside, and you're like, it's been a year, no one's done anything while and I stay impounded my car and they took me to jail. Oh the more that you explain, the more you seem like a guy who's worthy of a second day. Oh my god, So
you ditched her because you got arrested. Well, when you put it that way, he dragged away from her him. I didn't spend too long in the jail, but it was just I had to deal with getting my car back right now. Yeah, I mean his biggest mistake was not putting a post it note on the panda explaining what happened to buy some teenage boys alcohol. It's a big panda, it's gigantic, so I just left it there for a second to buy the kid beer. So I
don't even know what happened to the panda. Well, it was it was left there and Tara had to find it and had no clue what happened to you. That's why she's been freaking out wondering what's going on. It does make sense why he only said sorry, Yeah, I just felt embarrassed. I just don't know how to explain it. I thought she wouldn't believe me. I thought that there's no way anybody would believe. Well, I really do believe it.
But let's find out if Tara believes you'd be because she's actually on the other line listening right now and wants to talk to you. What are you talking about? That's how these second dates work, Tara? God, are you speechless? Tara? Are you there? I don't believe it. I can't believe it. You don't believe him? Actually no, I believe him. I just like the story is nuts. Okay, that's just crazy. I would have never guessed in a million years. That's why he wasn't there. He was trying to party with
some teens. Man. Oh my gosh. But I gotta ask you a question, like, what kind of cops were these that you were dealing with. Were they cop cops orre they like fair cups? You mean like security guards at the fair groups? Yeah, like you know the ones I don't know they had like badges and handcuffs and things. There's cops at the fair. I've seen police officers at the fair. Why does that matter? Yeah? What what difference
does it make to you? Tara? Well, because if their fair cups, it's like he should have taken off, I mean, he should have there. You want him to run? I don't know, It's just the first thing I thought of. You know, It's like sometimes fair cops are just always hanging around and they're just checking on people. I don't understand why you wouldn't run. It just seems like a bonehead move to me. I don't know, you wanted me to run away from the cops. Yeah, but of us
probably fair cops. That's not the same thing, you know what I mean what he eventually got taken down to a police station. I mean, even if they transferred him to other cops, Like, it's not I just can't believe your red flag is that. Yeah. I'm just you know, I'm gonna tell you something. I'm not going to go into detail about it because it happened in the past. But I did have kind of an issue like this the Lasia. It's a milk jug game with the what
game milk? John games the milk You mean the game where you like toss the softball into like the milk the Jian milk. Ye can knock him over? Knock him over? Yeah, you know, I just took off. I kind of hid behind the big stuffed animals, so like I bolted and they getty fine, it was fine, it was blown over. I don't know, it doesn't sound that doesn't sound like the same thing. Yeah, I know you're being pretty vague about your story, but I was literally caught with alcohol
being given to a miner. I am just shocked at where we're at right is not what I expect. You're not disappointed that he bought some beer for some miners at the fair. You're just more disappointed that he chose to get himself arrested rather than try and run. So I am kind of disappointed in the whole thing. I don't know, like it was dumb for him to buy the beer, and it's also dumb for him to not get out of there quicker. Yeah, well, I I have a really important question that I think the whole room
is thinking about right now. As I will purchase alcohol for you, Jeffrey, not that I'm talking about the giant panda. If they were fair cops, why wouldn't they let Mac take it with him when he got arrested. I don't know what's happening right now. This is kind of like a weird conversation. What's happening is I'm going to offer to send you out on another date with Tara, and we'll pay for that date. Yeah, I mean, I don't know, Tara, if you want to go out again, I mean, I
promise I won't be selling anything to anybody. Okay, Tara, no, thank you. All they had to do with text me and we could avoided all of this, So I don't know. Oh god, this is harder than winning one of those fair games. Okay, we'll have fun, and maybe next time you're at the jail you should probably go out with like an actual criminal. That is the silver lining from this. Somewhere out there, Tara, there is your bad boy who's willing to run away from the fair. Yeah, you will
find him one day. Thank you, Jeffrey in the morning. I feel like people's priorities in dating and finding a life partner right now are way off just the inconsequential details. And we've been hearing lately from people the weird things that they focus on for why they won't go out with you. She did focus on the focused on it, Like, he didn't try running from the cops. I would think typically a normal red flag would be getting arrested. Yeah,
that's trying to buy alcohol for miners. Oh yeah, I haven't registered my car in years and I got arrested. I mean there's so many Also, him getting angry that she won the game and he didn't win the game. That has every cause that is, let's better. That's what I'm saying. All these weird, random details that I don't think really matter in finding like a true life partner. That's what everybody's focusing on, and it's deterring others from actually getting together. So, yeah, so we're able to get
a second date there. You expected them to go out again. Well, I'm just saying if they didn't focus so much on the nitty gritty, there was a lot of other things. Yeah, I mean, out of all second dates, I didn't think this one was going to be successful from the beginning of He left me alone outside of a public restroom for forty five minutes and I found out because he broke the last several times. Yeah, I'm just so frustrated
with the dating game. We desperately need a real love story on this show, so we need people to email us. If someone isn't calling you back and you don't have a long criminal record, hopefully then we can call the person. I mean, we don't discriminate. It's asking for a lot from our listeners. I know that we'll call the person who isn't calling you back. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning
