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.

A guy named Roger is on the phone today to do a second date update. And Roger, after reading your email, I've decided that if you don't get a date with the girl that you want to call today, I will gladly volunteer my services and go on a date with you. Because you sound, look, I'm taken, I have a girlfriend, but you sound like the kind of guy that I could spend a weekend with. Definitely. Well, I'll keep that in mind, but I don't know if you're my type. You're a smart man, Roger. You're a smart man.

I've changed a lot of people's opinions about me over my time on this planet, Roger. Maybe you and I can... Anyway. Maybe if you could give me some concert tickets. I don't know. Let's get into your date, though. Tell us about the girl that you want to call today. Well, her name's Monica.

I met her a couple weeks ago. I was out at a cocktail bar with one of my friends, and we were drinking, and he had to leave early. But I saw that the cocktail race was... She was smoking hot. So I decided to stay for a little bit she was smoking hot. So, you know, I decided to stay for a little bit, have a couple of drinks, over tip, you know, get her attention.

Yeah, because I'm sure she never gets that ever as a hot cocktail waitress. You never know. Well, we started having like the best conversation ever. We started talking about sitcoms that we wish would come back on television. Oh, that's actually, that's a good icebreaker. Yeah, it was amazing. I hope they remake Golden Girls because that was like one of my favorite shows. I'd love to see a remake of Golden Girls.

Yes, Blanche was so hot. Do we need to do the second date update or can we just have this conversation now? No, no, we'll stay focused. All right. All right. Yeah, you're going to have a hard time doing that, Roger. Way to be boring, Roger. Yeah, but we had a great time.

It was an amazing conversation. We actually closed down the place. Wow. I stayed with it to close it, yeah. Okay, so how long did you stay? Because I've been in the situation where you're having drinks with a friend, they leave, and then you hang out at the bar for a little while and make friends with the staff.

But there gets to be a point where it's an okay amount of time for you to be there by yourself, and then there's a point where you've been there way too long and now you're the creepy dude. No, it was only like two hours. I wasn't there until the sun rose or anything like that. It was just two hours. And was this your date, or did you ask her out on a real date after this? Well, we just met. This was open and gamut.

But, you know, the conversation was going well. We were joking around. So I asked her out on a real date. Okay. And what did you guys do for your date? We didn't get to go out on a date. She wouldn't go on that date with me. Why?

Was she busy or something? She didn't feel comfortable with the date suggestion i came up with i suggested a somewhat of an extravagant date like what like a helicopter ride no no no i had a little bit to drink so uh i probably shouldn't have asked this but i asked her to take a trip with me to the mediterranean did you just say mediter Mediterranean for a first date? Yeah, absolutely. And that's why I was saying that if you can't go out with her on a second date, I will gladly go to the Mediterranean with you.

You gold digger. There's no shame in my game. There's no shame in mine either. That's why I asked. You never know until you ask. So wait, did you already have a trip planned and you were going solo and you needed a partner? Or were you just going to go buy tickets on a whim for both of you? Tickets on a whim, you know.

It's nothing like spontaneity. Wow. Did she say no to that or did she think about it? At first she thought I was joking, but I was serious. So if she would have said yes, you would have literally bought tickets to the Mediterranean and taken her on vacation with you? Absolutely. We'll be on the beach in taken her on vacation with you. Absolutely. We'll be on the beach in Malta right now. Dang, bro.

You honestly think it's a good idea for a woman who just met a stranger at a bar to agree to go halfway across the world alone with him? I don't see a problem in it. No. What should I do? Take her on the first date and invite her out for beer? Every guy does that. Yeah. I don't know.

It's definitely a way to set yourself apart. Yeah. So she obviously said no to that. Yeah, she said no. Yeah. She said no, and I haven't heard or spoken to her since. She hasn't returned my texts or my voicemails or anything. Oh, weird.

I would be totally freaked out by you. Yeah, but not like ghost him. Yeah, you're moving way too fast, way too quick. If we're talking Mediterranean the first time we meet, it's going to be marriage and babies by the third date. I just believe life is to be lived. You know, I have some family members that left me pretty well off. Oh.

And, you know, I want to enjoy it with someone. I don't see the problem in it. Okay. I've never dated a rich man, so maybe that's the problem. I never say I'm rich. I'm way past that. Again, man, you're just making yourself just more appealing to me. You've got to stop this, Roger.

There's rich and then there's wealthy. So you've tried to call her a bunch and she hasn't returned any of your phone calls at all? Yeah, and text, nothing. And the only reason you can think of is because you probably scared her off by offering her a trip to the Mediterranean right when you met her. I think it's too much.

I think it's too much. Everybody loves rainbows, right? But when they see the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, they get scared. I'm guessing you, being the wealthy man that you are, don't get turned down very often. Absolutely not. But this girl was different,

and I want to spoil her and take care of her and i just need the opportunity okay well we'll give you that opportunity we'll play a song come back call her and get your second date update okay if we don't go on a trip i'm buying a radio station congratulations i would love to work for you absolutely all right hang on the phone, man. Okay. Come on. Moving 92.5. Brooke and Jubal in the morning. Second date update. Right in the middle of a second date update, and if you're just tuning in, Roger is on the phone,

and today he wants to call a girl named Monica. He was actually out at a bar having drinks with a friend, and his friend left, and he hung out for a little while. Got to know the cocktail waitress. That's Monica. And he thinks he's not getting a call back because at the end of the night before he left, he got her phone number and then he offered her a trip to beautiful Mediterranean where you'll be whisked away from your job as a cocktail waitress and get to spend a week getting to know Roger. Hello. Roger's a mild-mannered guy who likes old TV sitcoms,

loves himself some Golden Girls, and some Mai Tais in the Mediterranean. All right, Roger, are you ready to go with your second date update? Yes, let's get my girl. No, Roger, you say you're really wealthy. Yes, actually more than that, but I'm trying to play it down for you guys. More than wealthy? What?

What is more? I mean, do you think that maybe a woman doesn't want to have a sugar daddy? Because that's what it sounds like you're trying to be to her, to me. No, I'm not looking to be a sugar daddy. I just want someone that I could spoil and take care of and show a good time that's it okay and i feel like that was her i really really liked her you know funny thing is i really liked her a lot okay cool well dial her phone number right now and see if we can get her on the phone and get your second date update okay okay all right here we go by the way second date

update costs 115 000. oh i don't have any cash on me. Convenient, Roger. Real convenient. I take checks. You can wire it. Hello? Hi, is Monica there? This is Monica.

Hey, Monica. How are you? My name is Jubal, and I host a radio show called Brooke and Jubal in the Morning. Okay. What can I help you with? Well, I wanted to call you today because I actually got an email about you from one of our listeners. You probably have the wrong number. Are you a cocktail waitress?

Yes. Okay. Did you meet a guy the other night at the bar who offered you a trip to the Mediterranean? Is this a joke? No, it's not. That's very specific stuff, and that's the moniker that I look for. It is very specific. That's why I'm a little freaked out. So how do you know all this?

Well, I know all that because we actually talked to that dude. Who are you? Yeah. Jubal from Brooke and Jubal in the Morning. It's a radio show. That statement didn't make it more normal. Yeah, okay, and there's a lot of people there. So I don't understand what's...

Pardon me. I don't know. This seems like this is very strange. We do... I'll explain. We do a segment on our show called The Second Date Update. Okay. It's where if you go out on a date with somebody

and then don't call them after, they email us to see if we can get you on the phone and find out what happened. Oh, that's fabulous. Okay. Now, you didn't technically go out on a date with this guy. His name's Roger. Did you know that? Yes, I know who you're talking about. Okay, you didn't technically go on a date with him, but he told us about how he met you that evening when you were working, and he really liked you, and he thinks he kind of screwed it up at the end because he offered to take you to the Mediterranean right after you guys met.

That is true. So he called you guys? Yes. He emailed us, actually, to see if that's the reason you didn't like him. And you don't think that's weird? Oh, my God. I told him. I told him that it was totally crazy and that I would never recommend any single woman going

overseas with a man that they don't know. Yeah. And also, it's crazy to call a radio station to call me or email a radio station to call me. That's weird, too. Well, we've been doing this segment for a while now. I know it's kind of weird to get a call out of the blue from a radio station, but he really liked you, though. Did you actually like him when you were talking to him before the whole Mediterranean thing?

I mean, we got along great. He was very handsome and, you know, very nice. But, I mean, it's a bar. I'm working. And you meet a lot of nice people that say outlandish things. When he said Mediterranean, I thought, you know, falafel, but he actually meant the Mediterranean. What did you think when he brought that up after he met you?

Did you think that he was joking? Of course. I mean, I think he probably asked everybody to go to the Mediterranean. It just seemed weird. According to him, he doesn't ask everybody to go to the Mediterranean. It was just you he wanted to take there.

Yeah, you guys believe him too? Of course he would say that to you. I don't know him more than you do, but he sounded sincere to me. He cannot be serious. I mean, he just met me. It's a very expensive trip. Well, Monica, I know how to tell if he is serious, because he's actually on the other line listening and wants to talk to you.

Oh, my God. Hey, Roger. Yeah, I'm here. Yeah. Oh, my God. Hi, Monica. How are you? I'm shocked.

I'm sorry for the shock. I know it might be a bit much for you. I do apologize. Maybe I shouldn't say it's the Mediterranean. Maybe I should have said Miami or the Caribbean or someplace like that, someplace closer. I don't think that was a problem. No, that was weird to even invite me on a trip at all.

You should have said just like dinner. Yeah. Okay, we could do dinner. We could just go to the Mediterranean, have dinner, and come back. Come on. All right, I apologize. Am I coming on too strong again? Just tell me what I need to do.

I mean, that just seems so crazy to me. It just seemed like, I don't know, dangerous. Dangerous? That's a word I would have used too, Monica. Dangerous in what way? Go with somebody I just met in the Mediterranean. I mean, that doesn't seem odd to you? Listen, I apologize. I know you don't know me that well but I'm a man of means and that's just something that's normal for me to do take

a trip go here go there no big thing but I think you're a very special girl and I want to show you that wow um well um I appreciate that and I I mean that's, I'm not in any position to just take off. And, you know, I'm happy for you that you can do that. It just seems. Listen, if there's a problem about taking off from work, I could buy the restaurant to give you all the days off. Oh, my God. That sounds crazy. Doesn't that sound crazy?

Yes. Like there's part of me that wants to tell you, like, go, and there's another part of me that wants to say, Roger, you can't just buy women. That's not how it works. I'm not trying to buy love. I'm trying to buy a restaurant. Two totally different things.

Monica, you've got to give it to Roger. He's at least funny. Yeah. He's very funny. That's why we talked so long that night. All right, well, I propose a compromise. Let's go out on a date. I would, but I mean, you seem very extreme.

Hold on, hold on, hold on. You haven't heard my whole entire offer. We won't fly or go anywhere, one. And two, if you like the date or not, or we'll see each other again afterwards or not, I'll give you a car. Any car you want. What?

Oh, my God. No way! What? No, Roger. If you think it's a joke, I'll put the car in your name. Oh, my God. No way. You can't take that.

She'd feel forever indebted to you. That's not a way to start a healthy relationship. Well, what's a good way to start a healthy relationship? Get drunk and hook up in the back of a car? There's other options. Listen, I'll show up to the date in your new car with a ribbon and bow around it. And if you don't like me, I'll have my chauffeur pick me up and take me home. Oh my God. That is quite the offer. There is no way you're serious right now. I'm totally serious. I'll send the deed to the radio station. They can see that it's in your name, and I'll send the title, I mean, to the radio station.

They can verify it. And if you like or don't like me, the car is yours, no matter what. So you're offering her a car for a date. Not just a car, any car she wants. Oh, my God. I'm excited. I don't even know what to say. I mean.

Well, you should say yes, is what I think. Monica, would you go on a second date with Roger? We'll pay for dinner. We don't need to. It sounds so lame now, but Roger's offering you a car if you'll go out with him. I don't know. This is the craziest thing that has ever happened to me. Exactly. So you might as well jump on this front train. It gets better and better. This is the craziest thing that has ever happened to me. Exactly.

So you might as well jump on this front train. It gets better and better. This is just the start. Yeah. I know. What are you going to buy her next? A private jet? Like, what?

Listen, make your next move your best move. What do you think, Monica? He is offering me a car, any car that I want, just to go on one date with him. Yeah, that's exactly what it is. Okay, Monica, it's one date. I don't know. One date and a new car. And not only a new car, I'll fill up the gas tank.

And that's really expensive. I think you're going down a slippery slope if you do it, if you say yes. It sounds so good, but I just don't think so. A slippery slope made of money, baby. Come on. Stop trying to throw a monkey wrench in everything. Oh, my gosh. What do I do?

I don't know. You have to decide for yourself. I think curiosity has gotten the best of me. I'm going to say yes. Yes. Successful second date. Congratulations, Roger. Thank you very much.

Yeah. And Monica, even more congratulations to you. We don't get a lot of people saying yes to the second dates because they're usually weird. I guess what it takes is somebody getting a car in order to make it happen. You've got to make an offer they don't refuse. Yeah. I am freaking out right now that this is actually happening. This is crazy.

Will you guys keep us updated on what happens, please? Okay. Will you send us pictures of your new car? Yeah, we'll ride. Oh, my gosh. We'll see. All right. Well, hey, Roger, before we go, I do have a question for you.

Yes. Do you need any friends? You're so fancy. You guys are my friends now. Yes. Broken Jubal in the morning. See, I told you. Everybody texting in at 78592 right now wants a date with Roger.

Yeah, old married people, young single people, everybody. Straight dudes willing to go gay for Roger. Yeah. Every woman wanting to go out with Roger. If you don't know who Roger is, he's from today's second date update. He wanted to call a girl named Monica. His first date, he offered her a trip to the Mediterranean. She said no and was like, that's weird.

We talked to Roger. I guess he's very, very wealthy. Yeah, he lets you know a lot. He has no shame in telling you how much money he has. We talked to Roger. I guess he's very, very wealthy. Yeah, he lets you know a lot. No shame in telling you how much money he has. And he got a second date, which doesn't happen a lot in the second date updates. But he got the second date by saying, here, if you go out with me again, I will show up to the date in a brand new car. You can have the car.

Even if we don't go out again, the car is yours. So he bought her a new car to go out on a second date. And she said yes, which I think is good. How much more of a bet he shows up in like an old beater? Just buys her a nasty old truck. Or he just, he does like some zero, you know, interest or zero down. And then she has to take over all the payments. For the next 45 years, she's paying on a car. I got you a new car.

I mean, I didn't pay for it. Anyway, try to keep you updated on this date situation because it's paying on a car. I got you a new car. I mean, I didn't pay for it or anything. Anyway, we'll try to keep you updated on this date situation because it's very, very interesting. Remember, if you want a second date update, all you have to do is email the show and we will call the person who didn't call you back. We don't promise a free car, though.

No, we do not. Ugh, we're so done with New Year, New You. This year, it's more you on Bumble. More of you shamelessly sending playlists, especially that one filled with show tunes. More of you finding Gemini's because you know you always like them. More of you dating with intention because you know what you want. And you know what?

We love that for you. Someone else will too. Be more you this year and find them on Bumble. racked up, well, you could use our help. That's right. I'm Joel. And I am Matt.
