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.

You guys ever been on a blind date before? Like a legit one where you didn't see the person until you went out with them? No. You never have? No. I have. Really? It's kind of weird when you do that, yeah.

It's nerve-wracking. Does it show how much you trust your friend? It does. And usually when you go out on a blind date, after you're done, you realize how horrible your friends are. But that apparently didn't happen to Sarah, who went out on a blind date with a guy named John. That's what your email said. You actually didn't look him up at all beforehand. No, no. I wanted to be surprised.

I've never been on a blind date before, so I didn't want to have someone in my head already before I met him. That's impressive, especially with Facebook, Twitter, everything. Like, you know, I Google everybody I meet

on a daily basis no matter what, even if it's a checker at Safeway. I wanted to try something completely new. I'd never done it before. Throwback dating.

Throwback. Yeah. What was your first impression when you first saw him? He was cute. I mean, he was really cute. He has blue eyes. I'm a sucker for blue eyes.

Yeah, yeah. He's a really attractive guy. He introduced himself like he had a great handshake. He did the one where you shake hands and then he puts the middle finger in and rubs your palm? Is that what you mean? Ew, no. So you guys met at a restaurant. How did you find him at the restaurant?

Did you be like, I'm going to wear a red rose and then? Yeah, actually, I wore a little white flower. Oh, really? Did you really? Yeah, in my hair. So had you guys talked on the phone before your blind date? Nope, not at all. So who set it all up?

I mean, did he just like email you? We have a mutual friend that I work with, and she knows him. So I told her to tell him to look for a girl with a white flower in her hair. Were you so nervous? Oh, I was so afraid he was just going to be weird and gross. Okay, white flower ladies, so how was the date then? We didn't even look at our menus at first. We were just, like, we started talking about my friend that we have in common and it was just like it was easy conversation like we bonded

over work and this girl that we knew like we had a lot to talk about so there was no awkward pauses like i just can't imagine like sitting down with someone that you don't know at all and like clicking i mean a little bit of course there were mean, it wasn't perfect, but there weren't awkward pauses of like, oh, God, what do I say next? It was just sort of feeling each other out. Yeah. Well, you did that right away? Whoa. Sorry, I just perked up.

What did you guys do after dinner? We went out for ice cream. We were just walking around Bellevue and just talking. Like, he talks about a play that he wants to go see coming up. And I love that. I love a guy who's into the arts. So yeah, we just walked arm in arm

and it was really romantic. That's awesome. So what happened at the end? He put me in a cab and right before we had a really passionate kiss. Passionate, too. Did you feel like he wanted to go out with you again? I mean, obviously, if you kissed, you'd think that, but...

Yeah, he did. In talking about that play, he's like, hey, I'd really love it if maybe you came with me. So he was dropping hints like he wanted to go out with you again and we should go to this play. How long has it been since he called you back? Like a week and a half. That's so weird.

I mean, he extended your date with ice cream. He gave you a passionate kiss, and now he's not calling you back. I don't get this one. Yeah. Yeah, it's weird. Yeah, it is. You're weird. Only you can say two words.

All right. We're going gonna play a song Call them and come right back And get your second date update Okay? Okay Alright hang on for me Remember if you want a second date update

All you have to do is email us We will call the person that didn't call you back. That's what we're about to do for Sarah, who's on the phone with us right now. She went out on a legit blind date with this guy named John. They didn't see each other at all beforehand. It was set up by a friend. They met at a restaurant. She had a white flower to let him know who she was.

Thank you. And Sarah, you still say you can't think of a reason why he wouldn't be calling you back. No, not at all. I guess during the song, when you were talking to our producer, you said that you had some kind of apprehensions about calling him? He's just a guy's guy. So if you can, like, talk to him man-on-man for a sec. Do not establish it that way, because do you know how Jubal interprets man-on-man? That sounded bad.

There's a lot of different ways I can interpret. I mean, bro dude. I am getting, I'm going to take a cold shower now, bro. Thank you very much. I meant like your interpretation of bro. He's going to approach him in the deaf voice. Yeah. Hey, you want to go like lift some weights, talk about this shit or what?

It's the worst description you could have ever used. I'm a dude. I've been a dude all my life. I know how to talk to guys. Sounds so wrong. Doesn't it? Okay. All right.

Well, Sarah, we will try to take it easy on him and I will talk to him and see if we can get an answer for you why he isn't calling you back, okay? Thank you. All right. You ready?

Oh, I'm nervous. Yes. Okay. Here we go. Hello? Hey, is this John? This is John. John, how are you, man? This is Jubal from Brook and Jubal in the Morning.

I'm moving 92.5. You got a second? Okay. Am I on the radio? Yes, you are. I just wanted to talk to you about a friend that we both have. Okay. What friend? It's a girl named Sarah. And I know that you guys went out on a date. It was like a blind date, which I can understand has got to be kind of weird. How was that by the way, when you met up with her and you'd never seen her before? So she gave you my number? Yeah. Honestly, was she not hot?

No, she was... I was pleasantly surprised. She's very attractive. It sounds like something bugged you about the date. So what was it? I don't think it's a good idea to really talk about this

on the radio, honestly. Is it that bad? It could be interpreted as pretty bad, yeah. She had a tongue ring, and for me, you know, I know, tongue ring means pretty easy. So I've had that phase of my life already, and I just don't need to be dating anybody who... So you feel like because Sarah had a tongue ring

that she's not the kind of girl you want to take home to mom, basically. Yeah, exactly. Like right now I want something more serious. Hey, can I say something? Hayden, John, Sarah's actually on the phone with us right now. She heard everything you just said. Oh, my gosh.

Sarah's on the phone? Yeah. Okay. Well, you just made this giant assumption about my whole personality and decided that's true and it's not, first of all. Well, it's just in my experience,

any girl that I've dated who's had a piercing on her tongue or different parts of their body, it's like the sex is going to be great, but the relationship's not. Maybe the problem is with you and maybe you've just dated a lot of sluts, but I'm not like that.

John, have you turned down girls before because of piercings? Yeah, or like a lot of tattoos. I mean, there's nothing wrong with it. It's just not what I'm looking for right now. You know, if you know that about yourself, why did you even lead me on? Like, why did you talk about going to a play?

Like, it's not like you suddenly realized I had a tongue ring. It's pretty obvious. Honestly, I already knew in my head that things weren't going to work out, so I just threw that line out there to kind of get out of the date, you know, just end it. John, the one thing I'm really confused about is who cares how many people anyone has slept with?

I mean, if they're going to... I think a lot of people do. Yeah, that's like a thousand people. I am not looking at... Why? I don't understand why. If a girl says, I've slept with 10,000 guys...

I'm asking John. I'm asking John. Why does that matter? I really honestly don't get it. I think everybody listening right now is like, yeah, I think it matters. That's because Brooke's hooked up with the entire promotion staff so she doesn't want us to judge her.

I think you guys are really missing the point here. I really do. I think that it doesn't matter. I think everybody understands exactly the point. I'm the only one in a loving, healthy relationship by the way out of this entire group.

And I would like to know, John, what happened to you by some chick that makes you think that a girl with a tongue ring is promiscuous? And then what bad will happen from that? I don't get it. I've been on a date with a girl who had a tongue ring, and it was easier to take things to the next level. And within a month, everything had kind of flamed out you know it just it didn't last it was good for a flash and then it was over i agree with you john i think most girls i've met with tongue rings same thing really yeah absolutely piercing stunker tattoo no i don't know um you know it's a blind date so you gotta take what you see and what you get.

You know, I didn't have time to get to know her a lot, so I just had to base my understanding of her on what I saw and what I heard. He's totally disregarding everything that we talked about, and I think it makes you an a**hole. What can I do to convince you that I'm not an a**hole? Hey, I'll tell you what you can do. John, I would love to pay for you guys to go on a second date. We will send you out again.

The show will pay for it. Will you go on a second date with Sarah? You know what? Yeah, I will. If nothing else, just to prove that I'm not an a**hole. That's a good way to put it, yeah. Way to sell yourself there, John. Sarah, would you be willing to go out with him again?

We'll pay for it. I don't want to go out with him again? We'll pay for it. I don't want to go out with a guy who thinks like that. Amen. Amen. You've proven you are an a**hole. You can't unprove that. Once you go a-hole, you never go back. John, you heard her.

She will not go out with you again. What do you think? Well, honestly, now I'm a little bit disappointed because I thought for sure that it was going to be a done deal that night. Oh! Broken Jubal in the morning. Ugh, we're so done
