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.

Today's second date update is just another case of the old hit it and quit it. Uh-oh. Quite literally, because Cassie, who was on the phone to do a second date update today, says she met the guy that she went out on a date with because they got in a car accident. Oh. And now he's not calling her back. So maybe not the hit it and quit it that you were thinking about. What's up, Cassie?

Hi. How's it going? I'm okay. I'm a little worried, I guess I could say. You're worried? That seems kind of intense for just a first date. I'm just, like, concerned, like, if I did something wrong or if, like, this whole situation is different than I perceived it. I mean, you know how dates can be.

Like, you could think things are going well and they're probably not. Yeah, most of the time they're not. Yeah. 98% of the time they're not. Right. So your email said that you met him because you were in a car accident. Like, were you in the same car together or? No, this is kind of stupid on my part, but I was driving and there was a lot of traffic and this song played on the radio that I really love. And

I just started jamming out and I was really happy and I wasn't paying attention and I rear-ended this guy. Oh, man. So how do you go from hitting this guy's car to going out on a date with him? So he steps out of his car, he slams the door, turns around and he looks and he is just furious. And he's clearly really upset, really angry. And he walks up to my door and I get out and he's like, what the hell are you thinking? Can you not see? Are you blind? Do you know how to drive? And at this point, he's so angry and I felt so bad. I kind of started crying and

that could be a lot of emotions in that situation, you know, especially if someone's that angry. Yeah. So I started crying and he immediately eased up. Like he just stopped and he was like, oh my gosh, you're, I'm sorry, you're really beautiful. And I was just kind of, yeah. Were you crying? So he's screaming at you about running into the back of his car and then just like a deer in headlights goes, whoa, sorry, you're hot. Yeah. I don't know if it was the tears or what. You know, most people don't look pretty when they cry. You are lucky.

I get real snotty, puffy-eyed. I mean, it literally looks like someone had punched me in the face four times. You know, that's what I thought about myself, too. But I guess, I don't know, I guess there was something dreamy about it. Did he segue from you're beautiful into let's go out on a date, forget the insurance? Basically, you know, I was kind of joking. I was like, oh, are you doing this just to get my information? You know, I was going to give you my information either way.

And he's like, no, I'm really serious. He was really sincere. And so we get to talking and we're like really clicking. And he asked me out on a date. And I was like, oh, you know what? What the heck? Why not? Okay.

That's a cool way to meet somebody. At least you can have a good story. No kidding. Right? And how was the date? The date was amazing. We took a walk around the city and, you know, we just talked about everything. I felt really comfortable and at ease with him.

That's all you guys did was walk? Yeah, we, like, walked around and we talked. Weird. It was pretty low key. I don't know why that sounds like such a strange date to me, just walking around. Straight? Yeah. I don't like to walk in general.

And then just going on a walk with somebody sounds torturous. It's so nice. Glad none of his anger issues popped up again for you. Fortunately, none of them popped up. It was just all like really sweet, really lovely. And you know, at one point we even kind of started to hold hands. What? Yeah. That? Yeah. That's cute. Yeah, it was really cute.

Time flew by. And then, you know, I got to the point where I was like, well, maybe I'll invite him to my place for a drink or something. So I did. And he was like, well, I've got things to do. And so we parted ways. He gave me a hug. It was nice. But I felt kind of strange.

And then since that time, I don't know. I haven't heard anything from him. And so I thought maybe the whole date was different than I expected. Maybe he just wanted my information because of the wreck. But why would he hold? I mean, why would he have to go to hold your hand? Or even meet up with you at all? Totally.

Right. And I would think since like it went so well and we spent a good deal of time together, I don't know, I thought there was the start of something maybe. I will say it is kind of weird that he turned down your offer to go up to your place for a drink. Yeah, maybe I did something wrong. Maybe I was just awkward or it was going well in my head

and it actually wasn't. Or maybe he was so into you that he scared himself. Oh, gosh. I don't know. That's a test. Oh, gosh. Is there anything that you can think of that might have gone wrong? Maybe he thought I was pretty when I cried, and I wasn't so beautiful when I wasn't crying.

Sorry. I don't know. I only date chicks that are in tears, and you're lame. Maybe he should have yelled at me, and I would have cried a little bit. Well, play a song, come back, call him, and get your second date update, okay? Okie doke. Alright, hang on. Hey.

Moving 92.5. Brooke and Jubal in the Morning's Second Date Update. Coming this summer to a theater near you, it's the feel-good hit of the year. Julia Roberts as the toothy brunette who can't drive. Cassie from today's second date update. And Richard Gere as Ross, the angry man who got rear-ended. Starring this feel-good classic,

Accidentally Yours. Coming soon. Don't miss this hit. If you don't know why I did that, in today's second date update, Cassie is on the phone, and she wants to call a guy that she met after she rear ended him in traffic. Basically, he just yelled at her for a minute. Then she started to cry and then he did like a double take and was like, whoa, you're beautiful. We should go out on a

date. Sounds kind of like a bad romantic comedy, but that's how it worked out for her. And then they went out and walked around for a little while. That was the date. They just walked around. She said they had a great time and she can't understand why he's not calling her back. She even invited him up to her place for a drink and he said no.

And that's the last that she's heard from him. Yeah. I feel bad for you, you know, like you had so many high hopes, it sounds like, for this one. I did, mainly because I thought we got along really well. And it kind of feels like fate, the way you met, you know? Yeah. You were meant to get in an accident that day so you could meet the love of your life. Oh, my gosh.

All right, well, I'm going to dial his phone number right now and see if we can get him on the phone and figure out why he's not calling you back, okay? All right. Hello? Hi, can I speak to Ross, please? Yeah, this is Ross. Hey, Ross. How are you, man? This is Jubal from Brook and Jubal in the Morning.

Who? Jubal from Brook and Jubal in the Morning, the radio show. What radio? I'm not familiar. It's a morning radio program where we talk in between songs and stuff. It's really on any radio that has an FM dial. Yeah, you ever heard it? That was a stupid question because you obviously haven't heard it.

Good point. Okay. What do you want? Well, I wanted to talk to you because one of our listeners emailed us about you. I don't know what that means. You went out on a date with a girl named Cassie recently. Oh, God. That's a positive review already, Ross.

And Cassie emailed us because she said she really enjoyed going on a walk with you and thought that you enjoyed it too, but now you're not calling her back, so she's wondering why. Why? I mean, you sound really not into Cassie at all. Correct. Yeah. Okay.

Do you mind telling us why? Well, we're kind of in like a legal dispute at the moment. You talking about the car accident? Yeah. How do you know about that? Well, she told us how you guys met. How she hit your car and then you got out and yelled at her and then stopped and told her she was beautiful and asked her out.

And why would there be a legal dispute? It sounds like she rear-ended you. It was her fault. Yeah, I don't think I should really go into details or talk about it. Okay. Okay, so forget the legal thing. Forget the car accident.

Let's just focus on the date. Did you not enjoy spending time with her? Not particularly, no. Really? What? Didn't you guys, I mean, she told us that you held hands. Like, holding hands is pretty intimate. Well, yeah, I mean, she asked me to hold her hand when we crossed the street.

I don't know if that's romantic or not. So it wasn't like you grabbed her hand and held on to it as a romantic gesture? No, I didn't pull like a Cary Grant or something. I'm like, yeah, she said, hey, can you hold my hand while I cross the street? I'm like, all right, whatever. What? Yeah, sure, I guess. It's kind of weird, though.

Like, is she scared to cross the street? I think she was trying to flirt. How do you go from getting in a car accident and being so stunned by her beauty that now you sound like you can't stand her? How does that happen? First of all, I'm not sure if being so stunned by her beauty that now you sound like you can't stand her? How does that happen? First of all, I'm not sure if I was stunned by her beauty. She was crying so much and freaking out

that I was trying to do anything to get her to calm down. And I felt really bad because I just yelled at her like a crazy person. So I just said something. So you just said you're beautiful because you thought that that's what every woman wants to hear and it'll calm her down. Yeah. So you didn't want to go out on thought that that's what every woman wants to hear and it'll calm her down. Yeah.

So you didn't want to go out on a date with her? Why even go? Well, I did want to go on a date. Oh, you did? After I calmed down, I thought, she's actually pretty cute. But then I went out on a date and I thought, oh my God, this is a terrible idea. What was so terrible about it? Because according to her, there was like nothing really interesting. You just walked around and from her perspective, enjoyed each other's company.

Yeah, we walked around. But then she like, I don't know, within five, ten minutes of the date, she starts making jokes about how the wreck was partially my fault. Really? Okay, so she's joking. Yeah. And I was like, ha, ha, ha, funny. And then she came up again, and it came up again, and she just kept joking about it as if she was trying to convince me

that the wreck was my fault through these lame jokes. And I'm like, what is happening? And it got me really frustrated, and I really didn't like it. And I was getting really annoyed, and I was starting to get that feeling back when I was yelling at her when she was like, I don't want to do that. You didn't want to go off on her again during your little date.

Yeah. By the end of it, I was really, really trying to hold it together. And then she asked me up to her place and I was like, absolutely not. So I said, no,

thank you. And went home and just yelled into a pillow she can really get you fired up i mean there could be some passion there that you're missing out on no and then to make matters worse when i get home i see an email from her insurance company saying that they are disputing whose fault the accident was. What? But that might not be her. That may just be her insurance company. Maybe. But she was joking about it and then I found that out. So I want nothing to do with her.

Well, that's unfortunate because she is on the other line listening and wants to talk to you right now. Hey, Ross. Oh, my God. I was just joking. I thought it was funny, you know? Yeah, maybe one time would have been funny, but six, seven, eight, however many times it kept coming up,

it wasn't funny. It was annoying. It was not that frequent. And you know that. It was not that frequent. I mean, maybe I just read that you thought it was funny. Come on. Like, people get rekt all the time.

And it's kind of funny that it played out this way. I thought it would be funny to, like, say that's how we met. You know? Yeah, it's how we met, but you're getting the facts wrong. Okay? It wasn't my fault. You rear-ended me. It was clearly your fault.

I mean, it was kind of your fault. Oh, wow. Like... No, no, it wasn't. There was no kind of. There was zero fault on my you rear ended me come on don't be like that like you know you were trying to hit me i mean a little part of you did want to hit me like what are you are you crazy i remember when you look in the rear view mirror and there was a face and then and like, I'm in the back of your car.

See, these are the kind of jokes that annoyed me on the date and that you're doing, that you're still doing them. All right, Ross, are you sure that you didn't see a cute girl in your rearview mirror and slam on your brakes just hoping that her car would end up in the back of yours? Right? Right. I mean, I thought it was kind of charming. I see what you're doing. You are trying to get me angry again like you did before, and that's why I stopped the date. Aw. I mean, you thought I was beautiful and I cried, right?

Yeah. You're a very pretty girl. That's correct. Good for you. Yeah. This is not a game, okay? This is a legal matter. There are repercussions coming. This is not funny, okay? Stop This is a legal matter. There are repercussions coming. This is not funny, okay? Stop trying to play it off like we're teenagers. Come on, Ross.

I mean, we all have to admit, it's not all black and white. Sometimes there's a gray area, and sometimes, you know, like, we all have to take a little bit of the blame, you know? It's not that. No, no, that's not how life works. That's not how it works at all. We live in a society with laws. Certain people are at fault, and at certain incidences, and you not how life works. That's not how it works at all. We live in a society with laws. Certain people are at fault and at certain incidences,

and you are not getting it. Cassie's just messing. Cassie's trolling you now, Ross. You realize that, right? You're always trolling me. You're always crazy. You're kind of funny when you're mad, though, Ross. I mean, I kind of get where it's a little fun.

Why is everyone laughing? I'm losing my mind over here, and you guys are having a great old time. You're just getting so upset. I mean, she's just joking with you. And that's the point. It is not a laughing matter. Okay? This is not funny.

No. What the hell is so funny... What are you laughing at? I'm laughing because you're getting so mad and you don't have to. I'm getting mad because you hit me and you're not admitting it and now I'm having to fight about

it with insurance companies. Oh, Roz, stop focusing on that stuff. The courts are going to handle it. Let's just focus on you and me and the good time we had. There is no you and me. You and me aren't...

That doesn't happen. It can happen, Roz. If you'll go out with her again. Will you go out with Cassie? That is not going to happen. Come on, one more time. Just go out with Cassie and That is not going to happen. Come on, one more time. Just go out with Cassie and we'll pay for your second date. Pay for a second date so you can make fun of me all over again on the radio? I don't f***ing think so.

Come on, Ross. I will side with him a little bit where I'm sure you're having to spend a lot of time on the phone with insurance companies and that can be a little upsetting. You don't have to talk to them. You can talk to me. I'm talking to you right now and it's not going well for me. Broken Jubal in the morning. We're so done with new year, new you.
