Dipping out on a first date without saying goodbye. Some of us have done it. Some of us have done it. Some of us have had it happen 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 Mr. Jose Bolaños? Your STD results just came in from the kitchen. And it's not good. It looks like the kitchen's not the only thing burning. Okay, I don't want to eat from that kitchen. Oh. And it's not good. Wow. It looks like the kitchen's not the only thing 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. Yeah. And one of our listeners had it happen to her recently. Oh, no. She just wants to know the reason why. Her name is Tara. Tara, did your guy use the STD trick, too? No, I don't know about that. You wish, right?

You wish, though. Tara, I'm really glad that you're laughing right now. I mean, it's a good sign that you're not taking this all too personally. I'm laughing it off. Okay.

That's a good attitude. 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 was Mac. He was really cute. 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 was mac he was really cute he was nice we met like at the police station we were both donating some canned food oh my god i'm glad you finished that sentence yeah no no we were donating canned food and i 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? Corn? Corn. Yeah. Is there different types of corn? It's definitely 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. A different letter in the front there. I guess you were donating, like donating probably canned corn or something. Why did I not put that together? You like sweet corn. You like that tricolor stuff. No, it makes sense. Well, my favorite is the roasted corn, actually.

Roasted? Yeah. So he says to me, hey, maybe we should go to the fairgrounds. Because I don't think he believed me or he said he didn't believe me about the roasted corn or whatever. You're talking like a corn on the cob at the fair where you just slather it in butter.

Like the elote. Oh, the elote. Oh my God. I mean, that may be the first time ever that a flirty corn conversation led to an actual date,

but good for you, Tara. Sounded kind of corny. No, see, that's why it doesn't work. Exactly. Yeah,

you're right. All right, so you ended up going to the fair with him? Yeah, so I met him there at the work. Yeah, you're right. All right, so you ended up going to the fair with him? Yeah, so I met him there at the fair. Oh, what a fun day. We haven't even heard about it yet.

I know. I'm only taking one girl to the fair ever, and it's fun trying to win the prizes. What is the next thing that she says as the Ferris wheel collapsed and hurt a bunch of people? You were still at the fair, okay? But at least it's a good location to be crushed. I mean, how was it? Was it a fun date for you, Tara? Yeah, yeah, it was But, I mean, at least it's a good location to be crushed. I mean, how was it? Was it a fun date for you, Tara? Yeah, yeah, it was great. I mean, it was nice.

You know, we met there, and we tried the corn. He agreed. It was fun. We had a good time. That's a cute date, for sure. It's not a super hot food to eat, though, in front of someone. Well, it could be, I guess. Depends 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, we kept seen me. I was like trying to make it all sexy. Just got like butter all over. But anyways, we kept walking around. We had some drinks. We went on rides. 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. When we played the duck shooter game, he didn't win. But I did. And I won this huge panda.

Cute. Okay, the man in me is already feeling disappointed. Guys, seriously, about a little fair game. No, we want to win you prizes. Are you serious? Your ego is that fragile? Yes. Oh, my God.

It's exhausting. It's just as a guy, you want to be able to show up for your date and do something special. And when you fail in front of a girl, it's really embarrassing for us. It's 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 got a little edgy over it.

And it didn't seem like he was holding a grudge or anything. I mean, it was only a panda, but. He wasn't 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 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 like took off

wait the panda yeah where's the panda no the panda the panda was there he left the panda but he was gone oh no that's like an emergency escape route. I've never had to do that. That's really weird. It can't be over a fair game. I mean, it's not that intense. Let's be honest. I would just sulk the rest of the night and ruin the date.

I wouldn't believe, though. Well, what did you do, Tara? Well, I texted him because I figured, oh, maybe, you know, he went off to use the bathroom himself to get something to eat. You know, whatever. But he didn't get back to me. So I was like, okay, maybe, you know, he went off to use the bathroom himself to get something to eat, you know, whatever. But he didn't get back to me. So I was like, OK, that's weird. So how long did you wait before you realized he had left? I waited probably maybe another 45 minutes.

Oh, you poor thing. She's still at the fair. No, no, she's sad, Panda. So anyway, I laughed and I was kind of mad obviously yeah i'd be more than kinda yeah that's rude so i kind of was i didn't i didn't text him right away i waited probably about a week and then like one night i i don't know i had a few 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 he never texts back. Yeah. He did, though, after this text. He didn't initially when I was at the fair, but he did. He sent me a sorry with a sad

thing. That's it? That's all? That was it. He does feel guilty for something. No, he doesn't me a sorry with a sad face. That's it? That's all? That was it. He does feel guilty for something. No, he doesn't. A sorry with one little sad face? Yeah. He needs at least six. I'm just saying.

That's how you know they feel really bad. But it sounds like you don't really want to get another date with him. You're more interested in finding out the reason why he ditched. Yeah, that's kind of it. I need 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 second date update 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 fairgrounds with nobody there to hug him. It's an image that's going to haunt my dreams for months. And I guess our listener Tara got abandoned there too when her date Mac disappeared randomly. But think of the panda! I know, Tara sounds like a strong, independent woman. That poor, helpless panda was just left sitting in the rain, crying out for someone.

There was no rain, Jeffrey. The snow and the sleep, the tornado nearly took him away, and he was 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 who got panbanded at the fairgrounds that day. 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. She needs to answer now. We're not going to wait two weeks. She got an answer. She said, sorry, guys. That is not an answer. One little sad face. Well, we're looking for a little bit more of an explanation.

So let's call Mac right now. We are demanding an explanation. Yes, Panda needs to know. That's right, Jeffrey. So here we go. I'm going to dial his number right now. Let's do this. Hello?

Is this Mac? Yeah, this is Mac. Mac is calling. Mac the Panda Abandoner Mac? I shouldn't laugh. Excuse me? What was that? Look, Mac, I'm calling from the radio show Brooke 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. Like, wait, you're a radio station calling about, like, the second date thing? Yeah. Yeah, that's it. That's it. 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 okay i apologize for my co-host brooke 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 like Tara a lot. And everything was going really good on the date, I gotta tell you. Is that your go-to move then? Yeah. Just ditch her. Leave her wanting more ditch him leave him crawling on back and i 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 yeah i was gonna say that 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. It was just the weirdest thing. While she was in the bathroom, a kid came up to me, like 16, 17. Okay. And asked me if I would buy him some beer. Why would you buy a teenager beer?

Because he's cool. I don't know. They were just like, you know, they looked just underage. So I just thought I'd help them 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 was like, let me just buy this kid some beer. And immediately I got the beer and cops came out. Oh, my God. Sting operation. 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 minors with beer. Took me out of the park to get my info. And it gets worse. I hadn't paid my registration.

They looked up my plates on my car and I hadn't paid my registration for like three years. Oh, my God. So you're 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 and no one's done anything, so why bother? And they impounded my car and they took me to jail. Oh, dang. You know, the more that you explain,

the more you seem like a guy who's worthy of a second date. Oh, my God. So you ditched her because you got arrested? Well, I don't know if you can say he ditched her. He got dragged away from her in handcuffs. I didn't spend too long in jail, but 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 it. Sorry, went 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 left 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 gone on it does make sense why he only said sorry yeah i just felt embarrassed i just don't know how to explain i thought she wouldn't believe me i thought that there's no way anybody would believe i really do i mean i believe it but let's find out if tara believes you because she's actually on the other line listening right now and wants to talk to you ah another sting what are you talking about that's how these second dates work.

Tara? Oh, my God. Are you speechless, Tara? Are you there? I don't believe it. I can't believe it. You don't believe him? Like, actually?

No, I believe him. I just like the story as a nut. Yeah, yeah. 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 got to ask you a question. Like, what kind of cops were these that you were dealing with? Were they cop cops or were they like fair cops? You mean like security guards at the fair? Yeah, like, you know, the ones that... 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 difference does it make to you, Tara? Well, because if they're fair cops, it's like he should have taken off. I mean, you shouldn't stay there. You wanted 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 are 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 it was 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 going to 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 with the milk jug game. With the what game? Milk jug game. The milk jug game. The milk jugs. You mean the game where you, like, toss the softball into, like, the milk, the giant milk can?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. To knock them over? To knock them over. Yeah, you know, I just took off. I kind of hid behind the big stuffed animals. So, like, I bolted, and they didn't find me. It was fine. It was blown over.

Wow. I don't know. It doesn't sound, that doesn't sound like the same thing. I know you're being pretty vague about your story, but I was literally caught with alcohol being given to a minor. I am just shocked at where we're at right now. It is not what I expected. Tara, you're not disappointed that he bought some beer for some minors 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 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 have a really i have a really important question that i think the whole room is thinking about right now yes 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. That's a good promise. Okay. Tara? No, thank you. All you have to do is text me, and we could avoid it all day, so I don't know.

Okay. Wow. God, this was harder than winning one of those fair games. Okay, well, 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 fairytale. Oh, yeah. You will find him one day.
