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. Out of all the great places to meet someone, there's the library, the monastery, the penitentiary. The coolest place to meet somebody that has an ARY in it is probably at a house party. Oh, now we're talking. It's like the exact opposite of all the other places you described.

That's why it's the best because it's got all the ingredients. Yeah, for sure. People you already know there. Lots and lots of booze. Sometimes fun games. And even a chance to make a mistake that you'll enjoy for at least 30 seconds. Maybe more. That is alluring. I don't get it.

That's where one of our listeners, Nick, met a woman recently. Not sure if any happy mistakes happen, but let's find out. Nick, you go a full 30? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, wow. Wow. That's so great.

Oh, Nick. Come on. Did not have to say yes to that. Yeah, don't start it like this, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, wow. Wow. Oh, Nick. Come on. Did not have to say yes to that. Mr. Stan. Yeah, don't start it like this, Nick. Teach me your ways, Nick. I'm just joking around, man. So it said in your email that you sent to us that you met a girl at a house party.

Yeah, that's right. We met at a house party. Okay, what's her name? Isabel. And at what level of inebriation were you when you guys met i mean you know we were coherent but there was a lot of drinking and stuff all right what was the meeting like paint a picture for us it was really cool i mean you know there's a lot of people and we got matched together as teammates playing seltzer pong. Oh, okay.

We were pong mates. That definitely bonds people really quickly. Oh, yeah. Seltzers bring the world together. But, like, why are we chugging seltzers? They're carbonated. It's just a, oh. It's low-cal, Brooke.

It's low-cal. It's better than chugging beer, Brooke. It's the cool young thing to do. Get on board or get out, grandma. It's better than, like, chugging beer. Yeah, for real. It's just so burpy. Okay.

Okay. Did you guys win? That's the question. We did win. We did kind of bond, which was cool. And you're right. There was some belching involved. That's seltzer, man.

It's very gassy. We could bond people together. Via acid reflux. Aside from bonding over seltzer pong, how was your connection with Isabel? It was good. So after we won the game, you know, we ended up kind of chilling in the backyard. And there was definitely like flirty vibes. And we totally just lost track of time talking and i mean we must have talked for

like four hours that's a huge bond between you two that you can talk for four hours straight at a house party that's awesome longer than most relationships these days yeah so the time definitely got out of hand and you know until i realized oh crap like i have to actually let my dog out so i told her i had to go and she was like oh you know i could come help you with that there it is oh wow okay she's the one that offered too yeah what'd you say to that i was like all right sure and so she came to my place and we're walking my dog bowser and um this isn't a euphemism right like this is you actually have a dog yeah okay that's actually really cute did she stay the night no so nothing like that happened we just walked the dog and talked for another good while you know and it was getting late so we just kind

of called it a night no I didn't want to be like, you know, have her stay over the first night or be like disrespectful or whatever. So, you know, there was no kiss, no hug or anything. It just kind of ended. A lot of talking. No kiss? You guys talk for like, I'm getting like six hours

here and you guys didn't kiss once? He's probably too gassy with like all the seltzer bubbles and want to ruin it. And sober by the end of it. Seriously. Yeah, I don't know. There didn't seem to be a moment or a window and I didn't want to force it.

We were just getting to know each other. Okay. How did you two leave it? We just said goodnight and I do have her number though and I ended up texting her like twice and she did not respond what maybe you guys ran out of conversation you talked so long that there's literally nothing else yeah i mean is there a chance that maybe she has a boyfriend i asked

my friends and they said she does not have a boyfriend. Dude, what do you think is going on? Because that is so strange that she would just ghost you after that. Especially after spending like half a day together. And missing the house party to hang out outside with you. Even if she's not like interested in you sexually, you'd still have

a friendship after six hours of talking. You wouldn't hang out with somebody at a house party if you didn't have some sort of chemistry. You wouldn't ghost somebody like that, is what I'm saying. What do you think's going on? I really have no idea. I mean, I'm calling a radio station to try and find out.

Okay, so that's a high level of desperation. There's like some shade thrown at us, but I'll have you know I am the best seltzer pong player on earth. On earth? I challenge you. Really?

I challenge you, Nicholas, to seltzer pong, but first we're going to call this go. Sounds good. Okay, man, hold on. We just talked to Nicholas about his night with a woman named Isabel, and they met at a house party playing seltzer

pong, which I'm currently 17th ranked in the Ontario Amateur League. But climbing. You know, gotta work my way up to the top. Weird flex. Yeah, it is a weird flex. Don't be jealous. But after a long conversation with her

after that, Nick had to duck out to go walk his dog, and she decided to come along with him. Yeah. But afterwards, it's a mystery why she's not responding, because she doesn't have a boyfriend, at least as far as he knows. Yeah. And he can't think of a reason why she would be ghosting. I can't either. So, Nick, I'm just going to throw this out there.

I need you to be 100% truthful when I ask you this, all right? Okay. Is your dog, Bowser, physically unattractive? How dare you say that? A girl is going to call somebody back because their dog's ugly. I mean, let's be honest. There's no such thing as an ugly dog. I read this whole article in Women's Red Book about how girls get turned off by ugly dogs.

I can see it. Dogs and the owners they always like match but i'm not hearing any answers from nicholas do you have an ugly dog or what he's cute as a bunny obviously i'm just messing with you nicholas okay but just before we do this nicholas do i have complete authority if she does call your dog ugly to call her ugly back? No, Jeffrey. You cool with that?

No. You said it, not me. I'm not taking part in that. Go for it, Jeff. He said no. That was a no. I got the approval. I'm going to fight for you, and I'm going to fight for Bowser, too.

You girls wanted Jeff to care. Now he really cares. Yeah, I'm in Bowser's corner. Let's go. Here we go. Let's dial this number. Let's go. Oh, my God. Let's wanted Jeff to care. Now he really cares. Yeah, I'm in Bowser's corner. Let's dial this number. Let's call this ugly girl. No! At this point, I hope she has an answer. I'm going to get myself in big trouble here.

This may never air. Okay, let's just do this. Here we go. I'm dialing the number right now. Hello? Hi, is this Isabel? Yeah, this is her. Who is this? Hey, Isabel, my name's Jeff. Don't. Why are you sighing already? I just said one thing. She hasn't said anything yet.

I'm calling from a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning, which you are currently on. Welcome. Oh, okay. Why are you guys calling? Great question. Well, we're calling on behalf of one of our listeners named Nicholas. Oh, yeah, no. Wait, we haven't even said anything yet.

Yeah, no, that's like, it's worse than no. What is this all about? This is a segment that we do on our show called The Second Date Update. It's where we help our listeners get in touch with somebody after they had a really good date night, but they can't get a hold of the other person. Uh-huh. So what did you guys hear about that night he told us the whole story about the whole night how you guys spent hours together at this house party and you even left with him to go help walk his dog bowser and he was like totally respectful didn't try to kiss you didn't ask you to stay the night and so he's just really confused why after spending all that time together you would completely ghost not

respond to any of his texts yeah not even a hi oh mean, it sounds like he didn't tell you guys the whole story. What? Well, yeah. Okay, I mean, that's possible. I mean, his version makes it sound like it was the perfect evening. What did he not tell us then? Okay, so, yeah, we go to walk his dog. Everything's fine.

We're talking. And we stop because his dog is taking a number two okay all right and then he picks it up and tossed it in his neighbor's garbage okay tosses the two into the garbage that's so rude dump it in someone else's garbage like why would you do that wait wait you're talking about the the baggie of dog poo you're upset that he put it in someone else's garbage. Like, why would you do that? Wait, wait, you're talking about the baggie of dog poo? You're upset that he put it in his neighbor's garbage? Yeah, I think it's such an asshole move. It just shows me that he doesn't care about his neighbor.

He's picking up the dog poop. There's a garbage receptacle. Why is that an issue? Like, we weren't even that far from his house. Why would you put it in someone else's garbage? I'm sorry. Why does it matter? It smells, bro.

Their bin may now smell like poo and gross it up. I kind of see that. People drop it in our bin all the time. Is it ours? Between you, you already have a dog. It's nice that they pick it up i don't care where they put it like it's just not on our grass thanking people thanks for the poop guys seriously so you're saying that you would rather he pick it up carry it home with him and

throw it away in his own garbage absolutely okay but i still don't get it like why would that be a reason not to call him back you don't get it we were like why would that be a reason not to call him back? You don't get it. We were like 20, 30 yards away from his house. Why couldn't he just walk back real quick, put it in his garbage, and we could have moved on? Okay. Did you ask him that? Yeah. I wasn't going to ask him that.

I barely know the f***ing guy. Okay. Well, truth be told, I barely know him either, but I'm brave enough to ask him. Yeah. Because he's actually on the other line listening. Nicholas, why didn't you pick it up and throw it into your own garbage, bro? Why are you guys attacking him? I'm not.

I'm just asking the question in the same tone that she did. Really aggressive. Yeah. What the f***? What are you doing? You're on the phone. What's you doing? You're on the phone. What's going on? What's going on is that we spent an awful long time talking and getting to know each other,

and then you didn't respond to my text. And now I'm finding out that it's because I threw away dog poop, not in the right garbage can, I guess. You heard my side of the story. And I told you, I think it's insensitive. And you're only thinking about yourself. You're making it easier for you. And you aren't thinking about your neighbor. I mean, she's kind of right.

I'm not trying to offend him. I don't think it's a huge deal. But yeah, obviously he was like, oh, a garbage is a garbage. But it's not a deal breaker. I mean, Isabel. Not you. Is it? Maybe it is. If Isabel's this passionate about it.

Text in to 78592. Tell us what's your opinion here. Is it wrong to pick up your dog's poop and throw it into your neighbor's trash can? Yeah, it's wrong. You shouldn't do it. My God. So much passion. Like, why didn't you confront him that night if you if it upset you

that much oh my god listen lady i already told you i don't know the guy i'm not going to confront him about his dog poop so you weren't excited about meeting this guy and spending this long time with him and connecting on this sounds like deeper level. Am I right? Well, a deal breaker is a deal breaker. Like, I can be with someone like that. Yeah, she doesn't need a poop-throwing guy around her. I don't know.

If I'm being honest, like, I've done that a lot. Me too. When I have dogs. Like, if I'm out walking even a block away, I toss it into the closest garbage can because I just don't want to walk around with it in my hand. Well, then you're a bad person, too. I know that. I go to bed every night saying that in the mirror. I do it, too.

I have a dog. I don't think. No, no. You know what? This has happened to me before. I have been the neighbor. And you know what I did? I collected all of the poop for a week

and gave it right back to him. Oh, dang! How is that better for you? They just let you garbage take it. I mean, Nick, are you ready to admit that you're a terrible, horrible person for throwing your poop in your baby's trash can? I would have rather heard her call my dog

ugly because this makes no sense. Oh! You can always have both. Oh, no. You can always have both. No, don't say it. Was he? I don't know. Isabel wasn't an ugly dog.

No, don't answer that. Don't ask her. She's ruthless, dude. He's fine, but. He's fine. Not hot, but like fine. So is there any wiggle room here, Isabel? Like if he stopped doing that, didn't do that behavior anymore, would that be okay with you? If that was the case, then we would be willing to send you out on another date and we would pay for it.

What do you say, Isabel? For the record, I do not date monsters. Monsters. In the monster territory. Hey, you guys are monsters too. Yeah, poop monsters. Ew, that makes it worse. I kind of the monster territory. Hey, you guys are monsters too. Yeah, poop monsters. Ew, that makes it worse. I kind of like it more.

You know what? I guess I should be happy. You're the type of chick who would burn the house down because I put the spoon in the wrong drawer. You mean rational. Well, f*** you. At least I care about people. What's wrong with you?

She actually would probably be the best neighbor ever. You care about people. What's wrong with you? She actually would probably be the best neighbor ever. You care about garbage.
