Are you guys up to Mission Impossible with me and a listener today? I'm going to say no immediately. I don't know. I'm into it. What are you going to do? Are you going to hang from a ceiling?

Are you going to jump out of a plane? Her name is Sasha, and if this call doesn't go well, we might have to wear dark outfits and black hats. Yes. Brooke, do you have any peanut butter you want to smear all over your face? I probably have some on my face for my breakfast still. This morning, I usually do a peanut butter. That's what's in the corner of your mouth.

Cut her off. Because we might need to camo and go covert here. Peanut butter camo. Yes, because we could be on a reconnaissance mission today. That all started with a first date, which ended up at a guy's place. What'd you leave there, girl? So we're going to find out first. Let's welcome Sasha to the show.

Sasha, how you doing? Hey, I'm better now that I'm talking to somebody about this. Oh, good. I imagine you were like hiding somewhere in his house like i need your i think i smell the peanut butter i got my jar skippy ready let's go we're ready for action so start at the beginning sasha tell us what happened with this guy okay i met this guy named marcus online okay and so i've been like being super attractive like paul and like bald all the stuff that i like i'm really into tennis and he's really into tennis.

So that was the one thing that I was like, okay. So we started talking or whatever. And he was like thinking of stuff that was kind of out the box. And so there was like a local festival. I don't know. I'm sure y'all heard of the Dino drunk fest, right? The what? Dino drunk.

Dino drunk fest. I want to go. Do you get drunk and roar like a stegosaurus? You get drunk. But I'm like the drunk fest, but I want to go. Do you get drunk and roar like a stegosaurus? You get drunk, but I'm like the drunk fest, but it's the drink fest where you get drunk. You feel me? You got it? No, but. No.

Have you been drinking this morning? Because I don't know if I'm following. Where do the dinosaurs come into play? I'm a little hungover. I can't even lie. I'm a little hungover because I did go out last night. Anyway, it's like this festival where everybody wears like these inflatable T-Rex costumes, okay?

Oh, that's so fun. I love those. I thought it was a little weird, but I was just like, you know what? I'm really attracted to him and let's do something different. But are you still attracted to a guy who shows up to your date

in an inflatable T-Rex costume? Well, she's also supposed to be in the T-Rex costume too, so it's... supposed to be in the T-Rex costume, too. Ooh, could you share one so that it's like you're hanging out still? Oh, dang. That's a good idea. This is some hot Jurassic action that we're about to get into. So how did it go?

So we go in drinking in the outfits. And then, like, for some reason, they had a rock wall. Now, imagine, like, a beautiful costume like a costume is plastic and you have like climb a wall so like you were falling it was not hurt as bad when you land depends on how much you've drunk too did you do the rock wall or is this just something you were used by okay but he did he did. He did. Oh, okay. And I was like, you know what? I've had enough of Dino World, like, you know, traffic.

Yeah, let's go. But good for you. You went out of your comfort zone for a whole hour, hour and a half. And it sounds like you had fun. Yeah, and you had a good time. I don't know if I had a good time, but I did it. Okay. Still proud of you.

And you still liked him because you guys left together okay he was like well do you want to go back to my place and i'm like yeah then he mentioned like having some more drinks it would be like i needed more to drink but whatever let's just get out of here and like go get drunk at your house yeah usually that's like the plan decisions like this is why the dinosaurs don't roam the earth okay so that's how you end up back at marcus's apartment yes okay so we go back we're chilling more drinks we end up watching movies so like eventually after a while i'm like i didn't realize it was like three o'clock in the morning i had to

get up at six to go to work oh dang do you sleep at that point no you're not sober at work the next day i can tell you that so what do you do so i ordered uber i rushed out so then the next day get to work realize oh my god i left my earrings oh and they were like not just ordinary earrings. They're, like, my diamond stud earrings. Oh. I mean, you were on a date, so you probably wore the good stuff. Oh, my God. I don't even have any good stuff, so good for you.

Yeah. Yeah, so I reached out to him, and, like, no reply. Oh, God. It's the worst, too, because you leave it actually on accident, and everyone assumes you're doing it so that the guy calls you again. Totally. No, honestly. He made, honestly told his friends, like, guys,

she purposely left her stuff here, red flag. They're all probably telling him, dude, that's not a good sign. Do you guys talk to their friends about that? Oh, yeah, absolutely. Oh, they got some more than we do. No, it's more like, dude, she took my hoodie. This is working. So where are you at with Marcus now?

Well, after a while, I was like, okay, no, those are my earrings. I need those. So he didn't he never replied back and i just went back to his house and i rang the doorbell and like somebody else and what i rang the doorbell and somebody else answered the door guy or girl it was a guy all right and i was like um because no one was there the night before and he never said anything about a roommate and i said hey you know i'm looking for marcus i was here last night before, and he never said anything about a roommate. And I said, hey, you know, I'm looking for Marcus. I was here last night. I left my earrings, and he hasn't texted back.

And they were like, I don't know what you're talking about. Who's Marcus? What? Were they playing dumb? Was it a joke? I mean, if they were playing dumb, they were a really good actor, because he was just like, I don't know what you're talking about. Well, you have been drinking for, like, many, many hours in a dinosaur costume and after that, too.

So what are you thinking? Like wrong door? Is that what you mean? Yeah, probably wrong. Like city even. So, but so, OK, now we're going to call Marcus for you and try and help you get your earrings back. Do you want a date, too? I mean, I'm open to it.

I just kind of really want to know why did he like hurt me like that? Like, why does no one else want to know why did he hurt me like that? Why does no one else want to know who the random guy in his house was? We don't even know if that was his house. I think we all assume it's the wrong house, right? I don't know. We have a lot of questions to ask this guy once we get him on the phone. We're going to come back and try and get you your second date update right after this. Second date update.

If you're just joining us for the second date update we have two objectives today the main objective recovering some precious belongings yes we're putting love on the back seat just for the beginning because we need to help sasha get her earrings back get her diamonds back jeff okay it's more than just earrings. Seriously. Jeff, it's so important. I didn't realize. Thank you, Alexis. But she left them at a guy named Marcus's apartment after they hung out all night. And the weird part was she texted him to get them back. He didn't respond to her.

So she actually physically went to his place the next day. And a different guy answered his door and said, I don't know, Marcus. Marcus doesn't live here. Do you think he moved out in the middle of the night? Is it possible you scared him completely out of his own building, Sasha? I doubt that. Like, we had a really good night, and I don't know why he wouldn't, like, take me back. I'm like, did he sell them?

Like, I don't know. It's weird that guys, like, I have no idea what you're talking about too like there's no like oh i've seen that guy yeah that's my neighbor right she had said she was drinking a lot so we don't even know if it was the right place that she went back to his name so many things a lot of things to answer so let's just call marcus if this actually is marcus's number and see what he has to say. But here we go. Hello? Hey, we're looking for Marcus. Who's calling?

We're a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Pretty fun. Hey, good morning. You can tell by the tone of my co-host's voice how fun we are. I'm the fun one. What's up, Marcus? We're having a good time. Hey, Marcus.

Welcome to the show. We're so jolly. I did sound like Eeyore when I said that. I apologize. It's early. Okay. Marcus, are you there? Yeah.

Good morning, everyone. Yeah. Good morning. Sorry to barge in on your life like this, but we're doing something called the Second Date Update. And we're trying to help... Wait, wait, wait. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. What registration is this? We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Okay.

We're trying to help out one of our listeners named Sasha that you actually went on a date with. Yeah. Sasha, Sasha, yeah. Yeah, drinking with dinos, right? Yeah, that was crazy crazy that's what we heard it was kind of a crazy night well i mean we also heard you went up a rock wall in a t-rex costume so i think crazy suits the event yeah i was you know i was messed up that night yeah we heard we heard there were some positives and some also negatives from the date because Sasha said that she left her earrings at your apartment and texted you about it and you never responded. Yeah, she tried to pull one of those Cinderella acts on me.

No, no, no. No, Marcus. It was not a move. It was not like a ploy to get you to call her back. She honestly forgot them. But what did you call it? A Cinderella act? Yeah, I'm sorry. Were you

there? No, but I talked to her. I talked to her and I could tell that okay, listen, if a woman leaves something at your house and it's all an act, it's not going to be her diamond earrings, okay? That's a good point. It's something that she could totally toss, right?

We don't know if they're real diamonds, though. Right, exactly. Wait, wait. I don't have a diamond detector. I don't know if they're real diamonds or not. Nevertheless, I know she left them intentionally at my house. I know this. You know this?

Why would you know that? How do you know that? How do I know this? I can tell. Like, it happened to me before. Yeah. Well, it's happened to all of us dudes, but imagine if it really is an accident, bro. Listen, she can have her earrings back.

I don't want them. What the heck do I need them for? Then why aren't you texting her back? The reason why I haven't texted her back is I don't want her showing up at my house like she did the other day. Oh, that is your house. What? We, okay.

She told us that she actually went back to get the earrings, but somebody else answered the door. And said you didn't live there. Didn't even know you. Exactly. That's my little younger brother. I gave him instructions on what to say, what to do when I'm not home. Who is playing games now? Why didn't I just give her the earrings?

Yeah, true. Listen, she just popped over my house on some shady shit. Like, it was just, listen, you didn't even get the text messages. You think that she's doing it on purpose just to try and, like, get back into your life and trying to get another date with you? Yeah. Yes, and she would have gotten another date if she did not pull this stunt. What?

Okay. It's not a stunt. It's like a boyfriend. It's not, though. Can anybody prove if it is or isn't? Look, we don't really know what the intentions were behind it. The only thing we can do at this point is bring Sasha on the phone right now. It does not look good, Jeff.

I mean, I know it's not a great look, but the truth is she's been secretly listening on the other line waiting to talk to you. You gotta use the word secret. Well, it wasn't open so what else do you call it sasha you there hey marcus oh oh man what are you pulling this now okay you know i would have really appreciated if you didn't have your little brother answer the door and if you could have come to the door and give him my earrings yourself well what kind of games are you playing i think he would have appreciated if you had warned him that you were going to show up to his apartment uninvited.

You know what? How is he going to warn him? There is no response. Clearly, Marcus was scared of her. Oh, God. This is so weird. He hung out with her until 3 in the morning. You weren't that scared, Marcus.

Come on. She was in the junk and stupor the whole time. She was drunk. So were you. You're the one that fell off the rock wall, Marcus. Are you serious? A dino drink fest is where you take me on a first date and you have the nerve

to try to shake me right now? Really? I just need my earrings back. Can you just give me my earrings back? I got you. I will give you your earrings back. But this is what I'll do. I'll send it to you. I need an address to send these earrings to you. Are you trying to show up at her house, Marcus?

Is that what you're trying to do? I'm not trying to show up at her house. No, I'm not trying to show up at her house either. Wait, before we started, like, exchanging addresses with each other, Sasha, Marcus is accusing you of leaving the earrings there on purpose, trying to Cinderella him, to meet, like, trying to make sure you meet up with him again. Right, that's shady that's not what happened you're saying no no I didn't leave on purpose but I have done that

before like five other times oh Marcus you weren't even worth Cinderella-ing but you don't wear the wrong earrings that night so okay can you see like her perspective I mean it sounds like Marcus maybe you have a little bit of bad experiences in the past. I was going to say trust issues. Yeah. Okay, sure. Listen, she just admitted that she left the earrings at other places at least about five different times. Oh, come on, Marcus.

Don't be so righteous, all right? You've done shady stuff before, too. We all have in the dating world. She's going to leave her earrings. The next thing you know, she's going to leave her children. How did we make that jump? Honestly, a girl did that to me before. She left her kids here.

What? Wait, really? Yeah, we did it because she wanted to come back the next day to see me. Not to see her children, to see Marcus again. I'm going to be babysitter for the night. I know, I actually think that's a pretty genius move. Little brother answers the phone,

there's no children here. Well, Marcus, you've clearly got a little bit of PSD from your past experiences with women. So do those children. It sounds like Sasha did not do this on purpose and you yourself said

that you would have gone out with her had it not been for the text and the showing up to the apartment craziness. So what we would like to do before we start exchanging addresses is offer to send you guys out on a date that we would pay for and then you can bring the earrings

and give them back to her in person. And we're paying for it. Clean slate, no dino outfits. Or heavy drinking. I think it's a good idea for you, too. Yeah. Absolutely not. Would it be a chaperone?

Okay, I think she said no. Yeah, well, your little brother can come along if that's what you're asking. I don't want a second date with him. I'm sorry. Oh, you're over it now. Really? Yeah, I'm good. I just want my earrings.

Okay. Will you please give her her earrings, bro? Yeah, I think you're going to have to show up to his house and get them. She can have them. I can get her earrings. She can have them. They're not even real diamonds. I'll bet you.

Oh, come on. That was below the belt, Marcus. Okay, we will pay to have them diamond tested for validity, and then we'll send them back over to Sasha's place. Maybe that could be our date. We could all get together and we could check to see if the diamonds are real. That's kind of romantic.

I won't even waste my time with that. You know what? If you get the earrings, just send them to me directly because I don't want to see Dino Bro anymore, okay? Well, no love connection but at least sounds like we recovered the jewelry that she wanted. We're almost like a pawn shop at this point.

Yeah. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Well, we just heard our own weird second date version of Cinderella there. But instead of a glass slipper, they were diamond earrings. Okay, she did not do it on purpose and neither did Cinderella. And instead of ugly stepsisters, it was Marcus's ugly little brother. Oh, yeah. Who said he was ugly?

I don't know. I don't know if he was ugly, but he was willing to lie to Sasha and tell her Marcus didn't live there. And lies make you ugly on the inside, Alexis. Oh, man. That's just a loyal little brother move, Jeff, you know? I'm just mad there weren't little mice and birds knitting in the middle of this second date. Yeah, it wasn't quite as romantic as the fairy tales ever were. I just want to call that lady who left her kids still.

Yeah, that was the craziest part of the story. I cannot get over that. You want to know how it works, don't you, Brooke, so that you can try this out on somebody. But look, just for the record, we are getting Sasha her earrings back to her. So that's being handled. No second date will be happening, though. But we can make it happen for you. Maybe make your fairy tale come true.

Go email the show. We'll call that person who isn't calling you back and check out our podcast. Listen to all our second dates wherever you get yours at Brooke and Jeffrey.
