Hi, I'm Ed Zitron, host of the Better Offline podcast. And this January, we're going to go on the road to beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada, to cover the Consumer Electronics Show, tech's biggest conference. Better Offline CES coverage won't be the usual rundown of the hottest gadgets or biggest trends, but an unvarnished look at what the tech industry plans to sell or do to you by the IHOP Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever else you get your podcasts from.

We've heard a lot of bad dates on the second date update. Today, though, might take the cake for the worst date ever. What? Oh, no. How? In the history of dates. Dude, we had a guy poop himself a week ago. This would be way more painful, in my opinion. Will is on the phone with us.

He wants to do a second date update today, and Will spent his first date, get this, with a girl babysitting her nieces. Oh, my God. That sounds like a horrible time. That's kind of cute. Will, how are you? Hey, what's up, guys? What up, man?

So you went on a first date, but your first date was actually babysitting her nieces. How'd that work out? You know, it actually wasn't as bad as it sounds, honestly. We have some mutual friends, and they wanted to set us up. I thought she was cool. I met her at a party. But she's really busy, and I'm really busy. It was really hard to coordinate.

So she told me that the only time that she was going to have free in the next two weeks was when she was babysitting for her brother. And, you know, I was game. Was it fun? Did you have a good time? It was cool, yeah. I mean, I love kids, you know, and they're really nice kids. We had a great time.

You didn't have to spank any of them or put them on timeout. You didn't take over. Just go as a dictator. Did you guys just hang out, like, you said it was her brother's kids? Yeah. Yeah, did you guys just hang out at his house, or did you actually go do something? No, we hung out at his house. We went to the park at one point.

Yeah. Okay. One, I don't know. As a new parent, I think it's a little strange to let whoever's babysitting your kids go on a date at the same time. I feel like maybe your attention wasn't totally focused in the right places, but hey, whatever.

Did you connect with the children? For sure, yeah. I'm great with kids. That sounded weird. Did he have fun? Did you have one-on-ones with the children? I think the time was more about his date and not if he wants to become a stepfather to these kids.

I was wondering if his connection with the kids impressed the girl. That's all I'm trying to say. Did it? Did she seem impressed with how you were able to handle children? Okay, that sounds creepy. Let's just forget about the kids for a second. How did the date go? It was great.

Like, we went to the park. We made mac and cheese. You know, I thought we were having a banging time. A banging time. And did everything seem okay on her behalf? Like, did you guys end up kissing or making out? Like, put the kids to bed? Well, here's the thing, man.

I mean, you know, we were, I told you, we were making mac and cheese at one point and, like, laughing. You know, the kids were in the next room watching a movie. And the whole thing was going so well. And I kind of got caught up in the moment. And I went in for a kiss. And she was not into it. She denied you. How did she deny you?

Did she shove you off and, like, call you a jerk? Or was she like, I don't kiss on the first date? Or, hey, idiot, there's kids in the other room. How did that go down? She just, like, she was cool about it. She sort of put her hand on my chest and, like, she didn't push me away, but she didn't let me get any closer. Yeah.

And she was like, you know, that's not appropriate. She pulled out the pepper spray. Did her mood seem to change after that? I mean it sounds like you guys were happy-go-lucky And then after the kiss Did things go downhill Or were you guys able to recover? You know the vibe definitely did change a little bit But we kind of got back into having a good time

You know when I said goodbye It was like We definitely need to do this again And she was like For sure She seemed into it Alright and how many times Have you tried to get a hold of her since your date?

I've called like three times. She never answers the phone, you know. She'll only respond to my texts, but it's always like one-liners, like can't talk, too busy. Right, and that's probably different from how she was texting you before you went out, right? Totally, and that's what's confusing me is that it's not only different than that, but it doesn't represent how the date went.

Like, I feel like something's up, but I don't know what. There's nothing you're leaving out, like you started cussing in front of the kids? No. I mean, I told you everything. Okay, cool. Well, we'll play a song, come back, call her, see if we can get her on the phone and get your second date update, okay? Cool, man.

Thanks. All right, man. Moving 92.5. Brooke and Jubal in the morning. Second date update. Hey, Will. Yo. I think I know why you're not getting a call back.

Okay. Now, you went on your first date with Angie, and you babysat her brother's kids. Right. Her nieces. Yeah. I think that Angie lied to you the whole time. I think those are actually

her kids. She made an elaborate scheme to see how you would interact with her kids the whole time. It was really a future daddy audition. And now she's not calling you back because you didn't pass the test. Her kids didn't like you. I picture her sitting here.

Before he comes over here, remember, you do not call me mommy. You call me Aunt Angie right now. Hey, we've heard weirder things on second date updates before. It's not out of the realm

of possibility. All right, man, we're about to make the phone call just to remind everybody Will did try to kiss Angie while they were making mac and cheese for the

two little youngsters they were watching on their babysitting date. And she pushed him away and was kind of awkward about the whole thing. And she's been texting him back just saying that she's too busy to get together. So we're about to get her on the phone and see if that is the case or if you did something really wrong to make her not like you.

You ready to go, Will? Ready to go. All right, man. Hello? Hi, can I speak to Angie, please? This is her. Angie, how are you? This is Jubal from Brook and Jubal in the Morning. Wait, who?

Jubal from Brook and Jubal in the Morning, the radio show. Okay. Okay, clearly you're not a listener. That's fine. Hey, no in the Morning, the radio show. Okay. Okay, clearly you're not a listener. That's fine. Hey, no worries. We do a radio show. My name is Jubal. I'm also here with Brooke Fox, Jose Bolaños, and Lydia Cruz.

Hey. Hi. We're calling you this morning because you recently went out on a date with a listener of ours. Do you remember going out with Will? Yeah, I remember him. Well, Will has been trying to get a hold of you and apparently you keep texting him back that you're busy. Yeah.

Are you really busy or are you blowing him off? That's the question that we want to know. I am really busy. Okay, so you would like to go out with Will again? Well. There it is, Angie. You don't want to go, okay.

You're short. I mean, the thing is, even if you're busy, you make time for somebody that you like. The thing is, I don't want to go out with him again because he did something that made me really uncomfortable after the date. After the date. He did text you. I mean, he called you like three times, which is a little bit much. Well, right away, right after the date, he texted me, which is fine. Just like had a good time. But he said he forgot his wallet at the house, at my brother's house.

And I was like, oh, no problem, whatever. I just called my brother and told him Will was going to stop back and get his wallet. Yeah. So my brother told me that Will came back to get his wallet. He said, nice to meet you again, blah, blah, we had a great time. By the way, Andy's really uncomfortable and doesn't want to say anything, but she'd really like you to pay her when she babysits your kids. What? He's, like, negotiating with her when she babysits your kids. What? He's like negotiating with your brother over babysitting fees?

Is that true? Is that something that you told him on your date that you wish you got paid for? No. No. First of all, I love spending time with my nieces. Yeah. I'm happy to help my brother out. I work.

I don't need to be paid for babysitting. I have my own money. I just like spending time with my nieces. So I'm just like mortified and I'm telling my you know, I told my brother that I didn't put him up to that, but like my brother now, I don't know if my brother believes him

or believes me and like now I feel like I'm just pleased. But also the other thing is, Will has been calling me and texting me but never said one word about this. That's not true though. That's a total lie. Will? Yeah, Angie, that's Will. He's actually on the other line

listening. Will, you were supposed to wait until I called you into the conversation. I can't wait. Sorry, but she's lying. It's not true. I'm not lying. You said that you felt uncomfortable not getting paid and I wanted you to have the money. I never, ever said that. I never would say that. I never said that you felt uncomfortable not getting paid, and I wanted you to have the money. I never, ever said that.

I never would say that. I never said that to you. So you're telling me that you didn't say at dinner, when we were sitting down at dinner, that you would be great if I got paid for this, but I'm not. You didn't say that. I didn't say it like that. I was joking. I did not say it at all seriously, and I did not say it like that.

Will. And I did not say it in any way that would give you the right to go talk to my brother about it. Yeah, Will. Yeah. Even if she was serious, you went on one date with her. Why do you think it's your place to hit her brother up like that? I was trying to do what was right for her. I was trying to have her stand up for herself.

What are you talking about? You took money from her family. You don't even know me at all. Yeah, but it's one date, Will. Maybe if you guys have been together for a while and you actually knew the family and you thought her brother was treating her wrong, you could be like, hey, dude, you should probably give her some money for that.

But one date? Will, how much money do you have from her brother? It was 30 bucks. 30 bucks. Were you planning on giving it to her at least? I was going to use it for the second date. Oh! You're an least? I was going to use it for the second date. Oh. You're an idiot.

What was going through your mind? Why do you think that would be okay? I'm an idiot? You're an idiot for babysitting for free. You're giving your time away. You don't know anything about my life. I told you a million times that I dislike spending time with my nieces. You also told me that you wanted to get paid.

I did not tell you that I wanted to get paid. You gotta, I guess, Will, are you not good at picking up on sarcasm? Because maybe Angie was just joking and you took it a little bit too far. Look, I'm not the bad guy here, okay? I'm not the bad guy. I was trying to do something good for her. I was trying to have her stand up for herself. She's making it sound like she wasn't complaining about it.

She was complaining about it. Even so, why would you want to put yourself in the middle of family drama if that were true? We had no family drama. We had no family drama until you got involved. So that's 100% the reason why I didn't want to return any of your calls. My brother and I were just fine. If you can't take, like, a sweet, normal conversation that we were having over dinner in front of my nieces, why would I talk about that in front of my nieces?

I remember saying to you, life would be beautiful if all I had to do was just hang out with my nieces, and this could be my job instead of always having to go to work and being busy all the time. Yep, sounds like me, Angie, you're complaining about not getting paid. This could be my job if I can make money from doing this. Angie, I'm about to call your brother right now and say, hey, dude, step up and pay your sister. That's ridiculous. I can't believe your brother didn't punch him in the face.

What? I know, right? God, we're talking about $30, you know? We're arguing over $30. I did it for her. I wanted to get it for her. $30 that you took from my brother that you still have. Good point. That is true, Will.

You still have the money. You guys don't get it. Yeah, I don't. I guess not. I think you're disgusting. I'm just even more don't ever want to see you again. I guess that leads me to my next question. Angie, would you like to go out on a second date with Will?

We will pay for it. Absolutely not. That was a quick answer. He can take that $30 that he got from my family and use it to take some other girl out on some cheap date before he gets involved with her family. You sure you don't want to think about it, Angie? You answered the question.

Okay. All right. Will, would you be interested in going out with Angie again? Not if she lies like this. Oh. All right. Will, would you be interested in going out with Angie again? Not if she lies like this. Oh, my gosh. All right. So no second date, I guess. Yeah.

Will, next time you go out on a date, try not to get involved in some sort of family argument right away. Whatever, man. I was trying to help her. Okay. Hey, but Will, I do have trouble standing up for myself. In my next contract negotiations here at the station, would you mind stepping in for me? Maybe you'd get me an extra $30 out of the deal.

That's funny. Broken Jubal in the morning. I met you in the summer. We're so done with New Year, New You. This year, it's more you on Bumble.
