Follow the Big Take podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen. Second Date Update. Over the years, we've heard from a lot of listeners

who've gotten themselves into a bit of a sticky wicket during their first date. Yeah, as opposed to a dry wicket. Right. Yeah, extra sticky. But the guy who emailed us for help today probably had the stickiest, wicketiest, wickiest, stickiest first date of all time. Oh, my God. That means it's a big mess. Yeah.

That doesn't sound like a fun cleanup. He knows it's all his fault. His name is Warren. Now, Warren, we'll get to your wicky sticky in just a second. But first, tell us about the girl that you want us to call today. What's her name? Her name is Kayla. Okay.

Okay. How'd you meet Kayla? Online. Okay. What attracted you to her? I mean, besides her picture, was there anything else? Oh, yeah. She's wicked smart.

Really funny. Oh, he's not good with wicked. There goes the sticky, right? Oh, no. He said wicked. I know. I get it. I know, but he's not laughing.

Neither is the audience, so it's okay. All right. That one was good. Sorry. Sorry, Warren. How did you initiate conversation with Kayla? Like, what was your opening line? She was into anime

and so am I. I just finished watching Kill La Kill. This is very nerdy. She said that was one of her favorite animes. Dude, awesome. That's a good thing because if you're into something specific and she's into it too. Nerding out together.

Double nerd. I love it. I just heard panties all across the nation flap when you said that, Warren. That's amazing. So what did she say to that anime line? Well, she appreciated the fact that I was also a fan and knew what I was talking about. And we started talking about other nerdy things that are everywhere. So we hit it off.

There's a lot to talk about in that world too. I mean, I'd love to talk about anime all day, but let's just get to the date. To the date. What did you and Kayla decide to do? Okay. Well, we decided to go to a Chinese restaurant. Okay. Okay. I love Chinese food.

And how'd that go? What was it like when the, like the moment you saw her for the first time? Well, she is extremely attractive and it has been a while, obviously, since I've been on a date with the person. So, like, I was very, very, very nervous. OK. And how how did that show itself? Well, to try to calm myself, it's probably in retrospect was not a good move, but I took a shot before meeting her to try to calm down. I thought that was going to be a lot worse than what you were about to say. You don't sound like a shot guy.

Yeah, that's the problem. I'm not a shot guy. I'm not a heavy drinker. Okay. That was a problem. So you're saying that it was a problem. What happened after you took the shot? So I brought the alcohol with me in the car.

Oh, God. I parked. I was not drinking while driving. this is after i parked the car okay i took a shot and then left the bottle in the trunk of my car you pre-funked for the first time bro i think a lot of people do that it sounds like he tailgated by himself to me yeah there's nothing wrong with pre-gaming your date a little bit just to get the nerves out. Why are you painting it as wrong? He's painting it as something went wrong from this. He's not used to it. That's why.

No, did something else happen because of the shot? Yeah. See? Okay, is this where the sticky wicket happens? It leads me back to the sticky wicket. Okay. Why don't you guide us through the stickiness? Okay.

So, had the shot. meet her in the restaurant we went to the bar before you know waiting for our table and obviously i'm not a huge drinker as you guys were able to figure out so i'm not trying to drink all that fast but there were some awkward lulls in the conversation and i was drinking faster because of it. That happens. I think a lot of us do that. So the alcohol is not helping me calm down. I'm still kind of freaking out because I really want to impress her. So you went to hard drugs instead. Oh my God. No.

We're just joking around with you Warren What happened? So I go outside Go back to my car And take another shot What are you doing Warren? It's not going to help Why? You think more is going to calm you down at this point?

Just because It was dumb It wasn't working When you're drunk more alcohol is always the answer yeah so after you took your shot what happened when you went back into the restaurant uh i didn't make it back into the restaurant what do you mean when did you make it to so i opened my trunk and just to kind of like try to work out my nerves and just try to like recenter myself and calm myself down i kind of, I jumped around a little bit to kind of like, you know, shake it out.

Yeah, pump yourself up. Why is that bad? I landed awkwardly and I think my knee hit the bumper or something. Somehow I, guys, I fell into the trunk. Okay. Of a car? Yes, I fell into the trunk of my car. Okay.

And then the impact of me falling in caused the trunk to close. Shut up. Dude. You locked yourself in your own trunk. Yeah. Oh, my God. That's like a nightmare. Did you have your phone?

So, yes. Good. It could have been 90 seconds. I don't know how long, but it feels like forever. I realized I should call her. I'm like, hi, you're not going to believe this. Actually, I'm trapped in my car. Can you come get me out?

That is a conversation you had with your date. Yeah. Oh, geez. Oh, wow. What did she say? What? She doesn't know what my car looks like. Oh.

So I'm trying to describe what my car looks like to her. And then I'm just pounding on the trunk, trying to make as much noise as possible. Oh, my God. I'm pretty sure you're supposed to punch, trying to make it as much as possible. Oh my God. I'm pretty sure you're supposed to punch out the taillights. If you get taken, leave your arm out. It's weird that you know that. And does Kayla ever find you?

She eventually finds me, but then has no way of opening the trunk because the keys are in my pocket. Oh my God. At what point do you realize the keys are in your pocket? They're just right there. You can let yourself out. No, you can't. You just unlock the car. You push the button that says trunk and it goes pop. Hi, Brooke. Not everyone

has that. I don't have that. Do you have that on your car? Do you have a trunk pop on your car? I do have a key fob, but it doesn't have the trunk thing in it. Okay, so at least you can open the door and then she can pop the trunk. Yes, when Kayla came out, I opened the driver's side door and

she uses the trunk release there. Yay, you're safe. She saves me. She's your hero. Aw, romantic. What did her face look like when the trunk popped open? Good question. She was not pleased. But happy that you're safe, I sure probably not actually yeah i mean she's

really nice but like i could tell that she was like yeah i think i'm done so bro oh yeah she opened the trunk you're drunk in there and there's a bottle next exactly it probably reeks too of alcohol like the smell coming out of that thing the The poor guy looks like an alky and he doesn't even drink ever. And this is coming from you guys saying that. It doesn't sound very good. Yeah, it doesn't. So what happened? So she left after that?

Yeah. So she left. I stayed around a little bit longer to sober up before I drove home. Good. And then I called her once and texted her trying to apologize again and hopefully trying to set up a second date or just maybe another first date yeah

you know what after hearing this story I'm pretty confident that we can get you a second date I am too I think you're a catch well for anything she's definitely going to remember him yes the guy that got drunk and trapped himself in his own throat actually who knows it could have happened to somebody else no I don't think so him. Yes. The guy that got drunk and trapped himself in his own trunk.

Actually, who knows? It could have happened to somebody else. No, I don't think so. Well, let's find out. We're going to play a song. We'll come back. We'll call Kayla for you, and we're going to try and get you a second date update. Okay, Warren? Thank you. I appreciate that. Second date update.

Who would have thought that alcohol could ever cause something bad to happen? If you missed the first part of the Second Date Update, one of our listeners, Warren, met up with a cute girl at a restaurant. And before the date, to help ease the nerves, he decided to take a shot. And after meeting up with her, he was still so nervous that he went back outside to sneak another shot and accidentally fell and locked himself in the trunk of his own car. He's not a normal drinker. No.

So he called Kayla to come rescue him, which she did, but then afterwards promptly left. And now Warren needs our help. But before we get into this warren i just want to say thank you for sharing your story with us because i don't think there's a lot of people who would be willing to come on the radio and say something like this on such a public forum so we really appreciate you yeah yeah i've been kind of thinking about that i'm thinking maybe i've made a mistake and also Maybe never take a shot of alcohol ever again.

Or call a radio station. And get some help with it. You make poor decisions. Yeah. No one can see you though. So that's something. I guess. You saying he's still in the trunk?

Oh yeah. I mean, I think you just need to go into this confident because you do know what went wrong. So you have that going for you. Yes. My hope here is that at the end of the day, this is a funny story that we can talk about and laugh about in the future. There we go. We're here to make it better. Jeff will make everything okay.

He always does. Well, just explain to her you don't always have a problem like this. Yeah, that's going to be a big part Jeff will make everything okay. He always does. Just explain to her you don't always have a problem like this. Yeah, that's going to be a big part of this. Let's give it a try. We're going to dial Kayla's phone number and try and get you a second date update. You ready? I'll never be.

Alright, man. Here we go. Hello? Hi, is this kayla yes who is this my name's jeff from the radio show brooke and jeffrey in the morning oh okay okay okay Maybe you listen sometimes. Maybe not. It's okay. You don't have to lie to us. Okay. Yeah. All right. That's fine. The reason that we're calling you is because we're doing a segment called the second date update. That's where if one of our listeners goes out on a date and afterwards, if the other person isn't calling them back, you can email us and we'll reach out to them for you to help you figure out the reason why. Um, okay. Okay. So it means somebody likes you.

Yay. Yay. Yay. And so recently you went out with a guy who had a great time with you and he has no idea what could have gone wrong on this date. Why are you saying that? He has every idea of exactly what went wrong. Let me correct myself. He has a small idea about what could have possibly gone wrong.

Oh, dear. His name's Warren. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I thought that might be. Yeah. It sounded like you thought. Trunk boy.

Right. Pretty memorable date. Trunk guy. Oh, no. Okay. So, obviously, we know what happened, and Warren feels really bad about how it all played out. Wow. I commend him for telling you guys.

That's what I said. I think it's really brave of him to come on the radio and tell that story. I mean, what was going through your head? You're sitting in the restaurant. This guy is still not back to the table and then you get the phone call from him at first i thought he was joking like i thought he was playing some kind of joke on me and i was like i don't even know you that makes sense because who would believe anyone i mean i wouldn't believe anyone who called me and said i'm stuck in the trunk of my car oh jeez well if i get stuck in my car i know who not to call now call triple a they're like is this a joke

okay so but you did eventually go out and find him yeah i went to the parking lot and i don't know what his car looks like so i was like all right where are you and he's describing the car. And it was like a movie where you like hear the pounding in the trunk, the shouting. Yeah. And I was like, all right, well, I think they know which car he's in. Yeah. Wasn't too hard to find, you're saying. So what goes through your mind when you do find his car and you get the trunk open and you see him? Initially, I was scared because I know how I would feel if I was trapped in a trunk. Right. Yeah.

Me too. And finally, it pops open. It's like a fart came out. Oh. It stinks. I don't know if he was just really nervous. I don't know what happened, but he took off his pants. He's wearing his boxer briefs, but he took off his pants.

Wait, he was pantsless when you opened the trunk or after you opened the trunk, he took off his pants. You bring his boxer brief, but he took off his pants. Wait, he was pantsless when you opened the trunk or after you opened the trunk, he took off his pants? No, that'd be even weirder if he waited until I opened the trunk. Oh, my hero. He's like, come in, come in, shut the trunk, let's go.

So he was only in his boxers when you opened the trunk? Correct. Okay. He didn't tell us that. Why would he not tell us that? That's a huge detail. I mean, I wouldn't tell someone.

Look what you're asking. Why wouldn't you tell someone that? We're going to find out. There's a lot of reasons. He maybe didn't remember. He was wasted. Okay, so what are you thinking why he has his pants off in the trunk? You know what ran through my mind?

I thought that he set this up. I don't know this guy. Did he set it up? Yeah. I was like, am I going to open the trunk and he's going to, like, grab me and I'm going to be in the trunk and then he's going to jump out? I mean, I could see that going through your head. After talking to him, though, I can't imagine being a kidnapper. He'd be the most frightened kidnapper ever.

Because we spoke to him before and he definitely seems like a sweet gentle type. Yeah, I mean, I agree with you there. I mean, I opened the trunk. The look in his eyes was just so frantic and scared. Like, I immediately felt bad after my initial scare and I just, it was an experience for us all, I'm sure. So do you think if he would have had his pants

on when you opened the trunk, you would have stayed for the date? No, I would have stayed for the date uh no i would have left regardless okay just didn't help okay well man i am curious though the reason that his pants were off or maybe the reason that he didn't tell us and there luckily is a way to find out right now kayla because i need to let you know warren's on the other line listening and he wants to talk to you no yeah this is a joke. No, this one's not a joke either.

I think it's fine. It's all on him. Oh, man. Kayla. Warren? Hey. Hey, Kayla. Hi.

Hi. Warren, why didn't you tell us you weren't wearing pants? I mean, of all the other details, of all the embarrassment. That's a big detail on a date that you're not wearing pants i mean of all the other details of all the embarrassment that's a big detail on a date and no one asked you to take them off maybe this is something we need to ask on future second date updates just regardless just like just so we know what was the situation with your pants why did you take your pants off i thought i could try to pick the lock with the underside of my belt buckle and so i took my belt off and then like moving around and shimmying in the trunk.

It was working my pants down and then it was just getting in the way. And it was also really hot in there. I'm feeling, yeah, I don't know. Is that true? God's honest truth, I swear. I was really panicking and freaking out. Like, to be honest, I'm lucky I didn't puke on myself in there. Like, I was really, really freaking out. It would have smelled even worse.

Kayla, what are you thinking here? I just feel so terrible for Warren's experience. We're doing a lot of talking right now. Warren, this is your chance to show that you're not the creepy guy that's trying to kidnap people from the trunk of your car. Kayla, I'm very, very sorry that I made a lot of mistakes on our first date. And I hope you know the reason why I made all of those mistakes was that I felt something for you that hadn't felt in a long time. And I was very, very nervous because I really wanted to make a good impression with you. And I cannot apologize enough for those stupid mistakes. And I'm just, I'm really, really sorry.

Okay. I feel the sincerity and the warmth from Warren right now. That was for Kayla, not for you, though, Jeffrey. But still, I was just happy to be a part of that. And that's why right now I think is a good time to ask Kayla, would you be willing to go on a second date with Warren?

Give him another shot and we'll pay for it. I honestly think he's a good guy. You're still laughing. I agree. I think he's a good guy too. Warren,

what if we went for a walk? No cars, no alcohol, no restaurants. Like, let's just go for a walk and... Pants on.

Pants on. That would be absolutely amazing oh i was just gonna say it's the cheapest second date we've ever had you know yeah yeah we'll totally pay for a walk we will fund that walk 100 congratulations you guys you got your second date thank you thank you very much and before we go Warren, you have to be honest right now. Tell me the truth. Are you pants on or pants off right now? Pants fully on. He hesitated. Until the date happens.
