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 lot of times when you do second date updates, people have no idea what they've done wrong on their first date. Or they leave out a very important detail in the story that they're telling us. Something that they don't think is weird, but their date certainly thought was. Well, today's second dater knows exactly what he did wrong on his first date. His name is Tuggy. Tuggy, what's up, man? How are you? Jubal. Jubal, how you doing, man?

What's up? What's going on, Tuggy? You don't even know it, but you are my dog, man. You're my champ. You're my champ. Thanks, Tuggy. Tuggy, do you introduce yourself as tuggy or is this just a nickname that you use because you know you and jubile are obviously bros

well i mean we're obviously bros but yeah i mean my buddy gave me that name in eighth grade kind of long story but uh yeah my real name's daryl all right it's always interesting it's a long story they call me tuggy i don't want to know that story at all. Nope, especially in a parade. So the girl that you want to call today, tell us a little bit about her. This chick I met on plentyoffish.com. Nice. So I meet this chick,

her name's Megan, and I thought she was cute, her profile checked out. And I said, hey, you want to go out for dinner? She said, cool. And she was one of the only girls off of this website that actually looks like her picture, which is cute. I feel like you tried to date everyone on that website, too. From what I know of Plenty of Fish, that is true. So congratulations.

Yeah. And, you know, I roll up to pick her up. And I like to have a good time. I'm kind of a prankster, kind of like you, Jewel. And, like, I always have some fun ideas when I pick up a girl, like, you know. So anyway, I think this girl was an influencer or something. I don't know. But anyway, I pick her up.

What? Yeah, that kind of, I mean, that kind of made no sense what you just said there. What do you mean by fun ideas that you do for girls? Like, they get in your car and they sit on a whoopee cushion or something? No, but like, so she gets in the car and I'm like, all right, you want to go for a ride? And she's like, okay. And then I floor it.

What? And we drive. There's, like, a dead end on her street. So I'm like, it would be funny if I drive straight towards this wall. And, like, I get to, like, maybe, like, 45 miles an hour in, like, the span of a block. What are you doing? And I'm headed right for this wall and she's

screaming. I stop her right before the wall. I'm not going to kill her. She was really angry. She just met a guy named Tucky and gave her address out. That was her first mistake and now she's in a car with him. This is so wrong on so many levels. What did she say after you pretended to slam into a wall?

Oh, my gosh. She, you know, she, like, gathered herself. She said, what the hell was that? And I said, well, I just thought it would be funny. Oh. Oh, terrible answer. Yeah. No, I like a man to wait until the second date to endanger my life,

or at least, you know, 30 minutes into the date. I mean, I guess, but it's like, if you're not up for that kind of humor, then I don't know if you should be dating Tuggy. You don't deserve Tuggy. Has this worked for you before? Have you tried this trick? Not this one. The last girl I dated for about two weeks,

when I picked her up, I immediately locked the door. And she thought that was pretty funny. That is so creepy, Tuggy. That's awesome. That's not funny. Tuggy, I like your dating style We're five minutes into this date And I'm already thinking that she needs to file a police report

Tell us what happened on the rest of your date Well, so then we go very slowly to dinner I'm following the speed limit And we get there and I'm like, cool And then she says, oh hey, a friend of mine works across the street At this other restaurant And she's like, do you mind if I stop in? I'm like, no, fine then she says, oh, hey, a friend of mine works across the street at this other restaurant. And she's like, do you mind if I stop in? I'm like, no, fine, that's cool.

So I'm waiting in the parking lot for like 15 minutes while she's in this other place. And I'm like, well, what the heck? What's up? And so I go across to this other restaurant, and I'm looking for her, and I can't find her. And I said to the hostess, you see a girl that looks like this girl? And she said, yeah, some girl came in and just asked to use the back entrance and left. So she ditched out the back door of another restaurant

to try to get away from you, Tuggy. Yeah, so she bolted. So what do you want to do today, then? You want to call her and find out if she'll go out with you again? You want to call her and apologize? What is the point? Yeah, I need you guys to make it all right. I need my bros to kind of make it all right.

Tuggy, I mean, do you feel any remorse, Tuggy, for making her feel uncomfortable or unsafe? Yeah. I obviously came on too strong. It's like I want her to know that I can take it slow and not be crazy right off the bat. I don't believe you. Put a laugh off the bat. I don't believe you. Put a laugh at the end.

I don't believe you at all, though, Tuggy. It's a problem. Here we go. Tuggy, we're going to play a song. We'll come back. We'll call her, see if we can get her on the phone and get your second date update, okay? Oh, sweet. Thanks.

All right, man. Just hold on. Moving 92.5. Brooke and Jubal in the morning. Second date update. You can usually tell a date has gone bad when the person you're on a date with makes an excuse to go in another restaurant and then runs out the back door, never to be seen or heard from again.

Usually a good indicator. Yeah. Tuggy had that happen to him on his first date. If you're just joining us for the second date update, Tuggy is on the phone. His real name is Daryl, by the way. Tuggy is not his given name. But he met a girl named Megan on Plenty of Fish. He's a bit of a prankster, I guess.

And when he picked her up for the date, he pretended like he was going to slam the car into a wall. What a joke. Gotcha. To scare her. It worked. It scared her. But she didn't seem very happy about it. They didn't even make it into the restaurant they were going to because she made an excuse

to go across the street to another restaurant, said she had a friend that worked in there, and then bounced out the back door. And he has not heard from her. Tuggy, I was talking to my producer, and he says that you tried to text her about 20 times since your date. Oh, no. Yeah, well, I wanted to apologize, man. I think I scared her.

I wanted to say sorry. Yeah, I think that says more than I'm sorry. 20 times an apology? That's a lot to text somebody, man. She was really scared. Yeah. And, Tuggy, don't you think she should have been? Well, no, she should have been scared if she didn't get it was a joke.

Like, if you don't get it's a joke, yeah, it's really scary. That's good logic. But you told her it was a joke after, so she should probably lighten up a little bit, right? Yeah. You know, we smiled and laughed when she got in the car, so I thought, okay, now's a good time for a joke. And you're hoping to get a second date, or you just want to call and finally talk to her and apologize?

Both, man. I mean, I think the only way to get a second date is if I apologize. All right. Okay, well, I'm going to call her right now, see if we can get her on the phone. You ready? Cool. All right. Hello?

Hi, is Megan in? This is she. Megan, this is Jubal from Brook and Jubal in the Morning. I'm moving 92.5. How are you? Sorry, who is this? Jubal from Brook and Jubal in the Morning. I'm moving 92.5. How are you? Sorry, who is this? Jubal from Brook and Jubal in the Morning. Nothing.

No, I know who you are, but... Oh, nice. Okay. I'm calling you because you recently went out with a friend of our radio show on a little bit of a date. His name's Tuggy. Yep. Kind of an unforgettable dude. Tuggy liked of a date. His name's Tuggy. Yep. Kind of an unforgettable dude.

Tuggy liked you a lot. He emailed us and wanted us to call you and ask why you won't get back to him. It didn't seem like he liked me. I was not getting that vibe. He basically almost killed me. Yeah, he told us about that. He feels bad. Oh good, he feels bad. I'm glad.

He also told us how you ditched him and made an excuse to go to another restaurant and then ran out their back door. Was it that bad? Yeah. Some of my finest work, actually. I saw the nearest restaurant. I was like, I know someone that works there. Bye.

Do you regret maybe giving a guy named Tuggy on the internet your address to pick you up? I didn't. No, his name was not Tuggy on the internet your address to pick you up? I didn't. No, his name was not Tuggy when we got together. His name was Daryl. I gave Daryl my number, and Tuggy showed up. Oh, my God. That sounds like the start of a very, very, very bad story. And I guess it was for you, Megan.

Please, from minute one, this guy was a clown. I was like, I can't do this. Can you explain the date? In your words, what happened? Because the way that he told us, it didn't sound, I mean, obviously, his little stunt sounded like a big deal. But everything else sounded okay. Honestly, we weren't on a date that long. He picked me up.

I said, nice to meet you, Daryl. He said, call me Tuggy. I was like, okay. It basically got worse from there. Then he drove as fast as he could and slammed on the brakes right before hitting a wall. He's like, it was a joke. It was a joke. I'm like, I don't know in what world that's a funny joke.

Then he drove really slow to kind of like really stick it to me. He's like, I don't know in what world that's a funny joke. Then he drove really slow to kind of like really stick it to me like, is this slow enough for you? Oh my gosh. Then he's condescending on top of it. The jokes continue. Wow. As you have whiplash in the passenger seat. Yeah, very funny.

Just, I was in stitches. Sounds like it. He is driving down the street and then he's like, if you don't think that's funny, I can do impressions. And then basically started, like, barking like a dog and then was bathing like a sheep. And I was not reacting at all. Well, they're impressions, yeah.

It's an impression of a dog and a sheep. Animal noises. I would be scared. I would think I had just gotten in a car with a psycho killer. I mean, I was not happy. It was a joke. It was just a joke.

Megan, that's Tuggy. He's actually been on the other line listening this whole time. God, why would you do that? I just told you that this person... I don't want anything to do with him I don't understand why you would put me on the phone with him Whoops Why do you make me out as some sort of serial killer?

All I just wanted to do was have a good time Your idea of a good time is near-death experiences Followed up by acting like a jackass That sounds like fun to me, Tuggy. And it sounds like a perfect recap. Honestly, if there's a girl out there that likes almost dying and then getting barked at, good luck to her. We didn't almost die.

Even if we hit the wall, we would just maybe have a broken wrist. Tuggy! How comforting. Good for you. We were just like maybe had like a broken wrist. Oh, my God. How comforting. Good for you. You know, listen, I am seriously sorry. I know you were scared, and that's not what I was going for. You know, I just got the vibe that you would be into some sort of practical joking. You know, I read the situation wrong, and I'm sorry.

That's what I wanted to say. Why do I feel like even right now you're joking? I mean, within minutes I felt like my life was at risk and I found you completely off-putting.

I don't know anyone that would enjoy what you were doing in your baby. Is he barking? I can't, I can't. Alright, well, I can't I can't Alright well I'm glad you got that out

You're a f***ing idiot I really hope you're happy Tuggy you're not helping your case By barking at her You just can't stop the jokes man It is a pretty good Impersonation of a dog Thanks I've been working on it for a long time.

We can tell. Should I apologize for who I am? I don't know. I guess so. Is that what I need to do? If that's who you are, Tuggy, own it. But you and Megan clearly don't click. Man, she made me feel real bad. Poor guy.

Oh no, I made him feel bad. Yeah, Megan. I'm assuming, Megan, that you don't want to go out with Tuggy again. We will send you out on a second date and pay for it. I'll even pay for transportation so you don't have to worry about Tuggy driving. I would rather pay for my own dinner ten times than see that dude again. Well, Megan, do you at least have any advice for Tuggy before we let him go in his future dating conquests?

I mean, I wish him luck. I don't really know. Wow. Oh my gosh. Alright. I'm done. You win. You really win.

Yeah, man. I'm just going to be me. I'm sorry for that win. You really win. Yeah, man. I'm just going to be me. And you know what? So I'm sorry for that. That's awesome. Oh, my gosh. You just be you, Tuggy. Yes.

Broken Jubal in the morning. First things first. I'm the realest, realest. Drop this and let that hold. 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 know what? We love that for you. Someone else will, too. Be more you this year. And find them on Bumble.
