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 in 2025.

I'll be joined by David Roth of Defector and the writer Edward Ongueso Jr. With guest appearances from Behind the Bastards' Robert Evans, It Could Happen Here's Gare Davis, and a few surprise guests throughout the show. Listen to Better Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever else you get your podcasts from. Second Date Update. When listeners submit requests for phone taps or second date updates, they'll send us an email. Or you can also fill out a little questionnaire on our website.

Yeah, we have a submit form. You actually go to brookandjeffrey.com slash submit. Yeah. That's almost too easy, bro. Yeah. If you do it, there's a section on there where we ask people to tell us a little bit about themselves so that we can get an idea of who they are. And the guy on the phone today wrote in the About Me section, he alligator wrestles on the weekends. What?

What? Has a collection of inflatable blow-up dolls and used to drive submarines for Russia until they fired him when he opened a window underwater and they didn't like that. Shut up, he's joking. I don't know if he was joking. I'm just going to take him at his word for it. Please welcome disgraced Russian submarine captain,

Eric, to the show. Hello, hello. Not even an accent. Wow. Eric's not a very Russian name, and yeah, I don't detect any Russian accent. You must be quite the spy now.

He says Don. Yeah. I mean, I get it. Like, you'd want fresh air if you were on a submarine. Right. You know, makes sense. We're ramped in here.

That is so funny, Eric. I'm guessing some of that about me section wasn't 100% true. Well, i think you can all agree it gets a little stuffy with all the men on a submarine okay yeah so that part was yeah yeah okay gotcha gotcha hey thanks for the laugh already like we we didn't even get you on the phone before i started laughing yeah brooke it doesn't laugh that hard at any of my jokes so

you should probably be in my role but we i know you wanted to do a second date update here. You went out with a woman recently? I do, yes. I went out with a very lovely woman by the name of Dana. And we had what I thought was a terrific date. Can I ask real quick, did you guys meet on a dating app? We did. Does your dating app include the Russian submarine information?

I don't remember whether I included that on the app. I mean, you know, I've got so many things that I use. It may have. I don't know. So what stood out to you about Dana? Well, there was one particular photo that I really liked. It was part of the city that's near and dear to me. And I saw her sitting there and it just really attracted me to her.

Oh, that's interesting. Like, she obviously loves something you love. Is it the sewer where you wrestle alligators? Is that the area of the city? Well, you know what? As funny as that would be, no. Really, we connected on travel as probably the main thing. Oh, okay.

Wonder life. He was a fan of that, and I had a lot of photos from my travel experiences. Not to say I'm the around-the-world and 80-days guy or anything, but I've been to a number of countries that I've enjoyed. So which country did you travel to for your first date? Wouldn't that be cool if it was that exotic? That would be cool. Oh, my God.

Or did you go simpler with it? Well, no, we went much simpler. And really, I don't want to name names. We were mostly on opposite sides of the city. And she set it up. She was willing to come toward my side of the city to a small place I hadn't heard of. Oh, she found the spot that was near you? It was closer to me. I wouldn't say near me but definitely closer

to me she came more than halfway to meet me okay was it like a bar restaurant where we at it was a restaurant it was a very small independent italian restaurant olive garden it was um lovely weather we sat outside had a glass of wine had dinner just rehashed some of what we had talked about on our initial phone calls. Okay. What was the vibe between you two? I was very much attracted to her, and I very much thought she was attracted to me. Okay. Based on what?

What was there, like a moment or like something that happened that gave you that feeling? Oh, that she was attracted to me nothing well perhaps you you read into this what you think but i love that she showed up she was there and she didn't leave so she must be at least sort of into it times when i talked she responded yeah when she went to the restroom she actually came back yeah wow hey look at us i mean i know that sounds crazy but a lot of these second dates end with them going to the bathroom and never coming back when will she be back from the restroom yeah okay i do want to mention i do want to mention the moment that you asked for and you can tell me what you think of this that is when it was time to leave. I had such an enjoyable time with her that we

got up to leave and she was standing in front of me. Her hair was up. Okay. And the back of her bare neck was in front of me and I just couldn't help it. I bent down and I gave her a kiss on the neck. On the back of her neck? Like she didn't even see you coming? Interesting. Did not see me coming. That just made me like flinch my neck. As crazy as it sounds or creepy as it sounds, she turned around

and smiled. Are you sure it wasn't a cringe? Yeah. I am sure because some things happened later on.

I don't want to go into detail. It was nothing that... Ah. She kissed the back of your leg? So you started? No, not at all. He starts top, she starts down. Especially they beat in the middle.

We got to know each other a little bit better. We were slightly more intimate than that. Well, maybe you did find a good match because my gut reaction to somebody doing that would probably be like turn around an elbow in the face or something, you know? You know it's bad when Brooke says she isn't into it because she hasn't gotten any action for years so she should be open to anything honestly lick my neck yeah i'm kidding i'm

kidding yeah maybe that's the reason why she's not reaching back to me okay it's hard to think though because she she did, yeah. I'm assuming you're saying made out with you later. Yes, that was it exactly. I kissed her as tenderly as I could, and she certainly wasn't against it. Okay.

The more you describe your kissing, the less I like it. The tender neck kiss sounds awful. Yeah. We're going to go into as little description as possible when we call her, and then we'll come back, get your second date update, hopefully, if description as possible when we call her and then we'll come back.

Get your second date update. Hopefully she answers. Can we call her tenderly? No, I don't know. OK, sorry. I think she's had enough tender stuff. We'll come back at your second date update right after this. Hold on. Second date update.

You know, for our social media. Yeah, I feel like we don't do quite enough to describe what's happening in these second date phone calls. Oh, okay. Yeah, I mean, because we obviously can't have the listener on video. Right. I think we need to give people more of a visual of what happened on Eric's date the other night. So we're going to start rolling some video right here in the studio and have Brooke get up out of her seat and walk around to Alexis

and tenderly kiss her on the back of the neck the same way that Eric did to Dana on his first date. This is a wine imposter to represent their Italian night. I have a feeling, Alexis, you're going to like this way more than you

think you will. I don't think so, actually. We've had this request on the text board for years. I've just ate lunch recently, too. But you might go back after this happens and start kissing all of your female roommates on the back of the neck. This might be a new bonding activity for you guys. My breath is hot, too, because I had fried jalapenos with my meal. I've never seen Brooke this excited. I bet you can feel me coming from like four inches away.

All right, here comes Brooke doing a little saunter dance over behind Alexis. Alexis, expose your neck to her, please. She's digging through her hair. I'm so scared. It's not going to work. It's not going to work? Too much hair. Should we get the scissors out?

No, no, no. I'm just going to let you know I'm turned off. Sorry. You're turned off? I'm so insulted. No, Alexis really liked it. Dude, your neck is kind of hairy. We tried.

The girls in studio do think, though, that's the reason that Eric is not getting a call back. Because that was his go-to move at the restaurant. It was anything like what I just felt. I can't imagine being Eric and making that decision to make that happen. Eric, they're thinking that might be the reason that she's not calling you back. I certainly hope not. At the time, it seemed like the thing to do. Had you pulled that move before or is this a first time for you?

That's a good question. No, first and only time. I couldn't help myself. I was so attracted to her. That's honestly better. Because she had bent down, leaving her neck a little bit exposed in like a shark on shark week. Eric swam out from behind one of the tables and just planted one on her open neck. There were no teeth involved that time.

No teeth. I mean, they did make out later, so she wasn't completely turned off. Must have been sort of into it. Those Italian wines at that restaurant must have hit pretty hard. I need some of that right now. Now we've got to call Dana. Here we go. I'm going to dial her number right now.

We'll see if she picks up. Hello? Hey, we're looking for Dana. Yes, who's this? This is a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. That's why I said we. Hi. There's more people here.

Okay. Hi. Can I help you? Yeah. We're doing a segment called A Second Date Update, and we're trying to help a guy that you went out with get in touch with you again so that you guys can meet up one more time um i'm not sure i'm interested in participating in this to be honest with you well maybe it will be when you find out who it is you know because as far as we've heard

it was a great night at least according to eric Oh, my God. What? Italian restaurant, Eric? Yeah, yeah, I got it. What did you think about the date? I don't know. I mean, it was going okay. But I don't know. After we hung out,

I was kind of just reflecting on the whole date thing. And he just seemed overly comfortable and experienced, like more than I expected and more than other guys that I've met on this app have been. Experienced? Like, he seems really used to dating. Like, he just did this all the time. Well, he's an adult male. That's kind of nice. It's not awkward, though.

Yeah. I feel like he would want somebody who feels comfortable around you. I guess I'm not describing it right. I'm talking more of, like like a gigolo type of vibe. What? A gigolo? Oh, like an escort? What do you mean?

The same Eric that we were talking about who uses the word tender a lot. Yeah, so I went home and I was telling my roommate about it, and she told me that there's this Facebook page called Are We Dating the Same Guy? Do you know what that is? this facebook page called are we dating the same guy do you know what that is oh yeah every girl what is no i don't know what that is i thought you were gonna say and my roommate told me she hired him for me what's are we dating the same guy so are we dating the same guy is this thing on facebook where like it's basically a mainly women and you post the picture of the guy you're dating.

And you see if anybody in there is also dating the same guy to see if he's, like, you know, dating multiple people at the same time. Yeah. See if he's a player, yeah. My roommate convinced me to post a picture on it. I was like, whatever. It doesn't seem like a bad idea. I don't know. That page seems pretty toxic.

I've seen it. Alexis has shown it to me. And it's, like, it's sketch. I bet Eric came back with glowing reviews I don't think any woman on that page says one nice thing about any dude ever

it's never like here's the one that got away ladies no no no sometimes it says I don't know him I haven't heard anything maybe nobody said anything

did you get any responses any feedback well the interesting response is that there were people that said that they've been out with him on dates before and whatever.

But the most shocking part was that like three other women have commented saying that he kissed them on the back of the neck. And I didn't even mention it in my post. What? Yeah. Like, so one girl comments in the picture saying that she had been out with him and he does this weird, super weird, like back of the neck kiss. And then two other girls comment under that, weird, like back to the neck kiss. And then two other girls comment under that, like, oh my gosh, me too. He told us that he had never used that move on any other woman before you, that you inspired him to do it.

It was honestly so weird and so creepy. And it's like, this is like his calling card. I love that Jeffrey's so upset. Like you got lied to. I do. It's like Jeff is upset. First I find out he's not really a Russian submarine captain. And now I find out he's actually kissing multiple women on the back of the neck.

What are you going to tell me next? That he's secretly on the other line listening, wanting to talk to you, Dana? Is he a spy? Because he is. Uh-oh. Oh, he's there. I'm sorry. She's not on the phone.

Yeah. Sorry, girl. That's how this segment works. I'm sorry, Dana. Yeah. not on the phone. Yeah. Sorry, girl. That's how the segment works. I'm sorry, Dana. Eric, you there? Hello, Dana. Hello. Hello. I'm here. Eric. This is almost

as awkward as the neck kiss. You told us that you didn't kiss anybody else. Is this just something you do to everyone? No, not at all it was it was only you that what we had during the dinner i couldn't control myself and there you were eric lovely eric i literally just said on the radio that three other women have said the same exact thing so without her prompting them yeah well i don't know i don't know what to

say to that all i know is i i was so overtaken just own up to it eric it's a dumb move that you use that you thought was romantic well i don't think it was a dumb move i mean certainly progressed the date that's true yeah i Yeah. I mean, you didn't, you did stick around after the neck kiss, Dana. We thought it was special. I only stuck around because I thought it was only me. I didn't know he was

a serial neck kisser going around the city. Wait, you would have been okay if it was only you. It seemed like a spontaneous romantic moment. That's normal. Eric, we're running out of time here,

so I'm going to give you 20 seconds to talk to Dana. You can tell her whatever you want to say and try and convince her that you are really into her

and you want to go out with her one more time. Go ahead. Dana, I had such a lovely time with you and I know you enjoyed being with

me, too. Oh, please. Never mind whatever else it is that you're hearing. Give us another chance. I know we spent some more time together that you're going to enjoy it. I really think there's something there. It's like he read a he read a bad like sales book. I'm like, always, always be closing. I felt like it was Anthony Hopkins reading a line from Silence of the Lambs.

It's up to you, Dana. Would you like to go out with Eric one more time? We would pay for that date. I mean, look, it was a little bit weird that other girls said it, but up until that point, I was totally fine with it. But once you got on and denied that other girls said that, now you're just a creepy and a liar. Like, now it's just... See, bro, Brooke was right.

She just can't believe it. It can only be one. Creepy or a liar. It's a triangle thing, right? Eric, now it's just... See, bro? Brooke was right. She just can't believe it. It can only be one. Creepy or a liar. It's a triangle thing, right? Eric, I'm sorry, man. We tried for you. And I really was hoping for a different outcome.

Maxine, are you sure? Yes, I'm sure. Please stop dating women in this town. They all know about it. You're going to have to find a new move, I think, dude. You're going to have to go for a different part of the body.

Maybe behind the ear or something. No, no. That's his go-to. He's the sneak attack guy. Drop the go-tos. Nobody should have a go-to move here. Everyone kisses on the leg. We're so done with New Year, New You.
