Listen to Better Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever else you get your podcasts from. Second Date Update. If you're getting ghosted by a girl, guys are kind of in a tough spot. How so?

Because you want to be respectful to them, but also show some initiative to let them know that you're interested. Right. It's a fine line, for sure. At least until they file the restraining order. How else is she going to know that you're into her? That's an obvious line. Restraining's right. I can't restrain my love for you. One of our listeners, John, wasn't getting

a text back after his date, so he got creative with how to get her response, and he's on the phone with us right now. So, John, why don't you just give us the text that you sent to this girl? I want to hear only the text. Wait, this is the text he got ghosted from? No, the last text that you sent to get creative, to get a response back. Oh, okay.

God. What did you send her? I'm sorry. Your setup made me think that he was going to be outside in a bush somewhere, hiding outside of her house. Text is, I see you. Yeah. Okay. Sorry.

What was your last text? Yeah, it said, I've noticed you're not responding. Do you want to see your family again? You will text me back. Oh! No, you didn't. Tell me you're joking. Yeah, or tell me you had been joking back and forth the whole time.

Had you already joked about a missing family? I personally hope he's serious with it. That would show how interested he truly was. Well, my grocery bill has gone up since her family's been in my apartment. You're kidding. A real kidnapper would not be saying that. Was it already an inside joke

between you two? That's a good question. Not exactly. Oh, no. How are you not at a police station right now? I would have called the cops on you in two seconds. Okay, maybe it was wrong for us to start at the very end of the story. Let's go back to the beginning and maybe it makes sense. When the family's still where they're supposed to be.

So let's start with how you met this girl. What's her name, by the way? Cece. Cece. Okay, and how'd you meet Cece? We were on a dating app, Tinder. Oh, great. Not too unique.

Yeah. Is that what you told her nothing too special about you i guess we should go out i mean you sound funny like how did you strike up a conversation with her on on tinder uh you know what she had a picture of her skydiving so i had done that in the past that's so relatable anytime i've ever met someone that skydives and then they meet somebody else they're like oh yeah how, yeah, how was your jump? How was your jump? How many hours have you clocked in the clouds?

Jose says he's really romantically into it. I would never do that. Jose, you do skydive all the time in your Fortnite video game out of the plane to dive in. It's different when you jump from the bus, but I close my eyes. Oh, you still, even in Fortnite, you do. Yeah, even in the game. We all have our interests. You bonded with Cece over that. What did you guys do for your date?

We just went out for drinks. I really wanted to get to know her, so I went to a quiet spot where I could talk to her a little bit. And find out about her family and where they live, what their schedule is. Take notes. Okay. How did drinks go? I mean, it went well. Eventually, she needed to go get a phone charger because her phone was about to die,

so I took her to get the charger. Oh, that's clutch. Oh, you went and bought one? Yeah. You went to like a 7-Eleven or somewhere. Yeah, totally. And what's nice about that is you extend the date, right? Plus, you're a hero.

Yeah, and you're helping. Yeah, and so what happens, she went to go to the drugstore. It was sort of close to my place, so I was like, while we're here, do you just want to check out my spot? And she agreed. Oh, she agreed. agreed so she agreed okay yeah i was driving so i drove to the closest one by my house you know oh so you planned it i see i know exactly where to get a charger it's weird i have outlets in my home that could use a charger put into them strange coincidence okay so she went back with you. Yeah, she did.

What was that like? So she came over to my place, and I made a couple of cocktails, you know, tried to impress her with that. Nice. I can buy them, and I can make them. Dude, I am always impressed when people can make, like, a real cocktail at home, and they have the things. If you have, like, an actual mixer shaker in your apartment or your house. That's awesome. Yeah, and then we talked about our bucket list stuff,

you know, just deeper conversations. That's always fun. Or like, what would you do if you won the lottery right now? Like, those are fun conversations. Well, and you guys have already skydived, so that's off the list, you know? Trying to discuss which family member do you like the least? Which family member's worth the most money?

In your humble opinion. If one went missing. Yeah. So, that sounds like fun. Okay, what's the problem now? Did she stay the night? Yeah, she did. So, it went well and, you know,

she just left her charger here, so that's what I was trying to use to back into talking to her. Oh. She has to come back from the charger. Well, maybe she's not texting back because the phone's dead. She doesn't have the charger. Do you see?

You know what? I shouldn't have committed kidnapping. Yeah. So lead us to the point of like, how did you send that joke text about her family? How'd you get there? Yeah. Yeah. So I sent her a text about the charger and then she didn't respond.

And then I just sent her another text about like, hey, what's up? And no response. Huh? Yeah. I wouldn't respond to that one either. He likes that. response and then i just sent her another text about like hey what's up and no response huh yeah i wouldn't respond to that one either he likes that you thought that was funny okay and so then i sent her the joke one that you guys know what i said kidnap your family joke okay yeah and then an hour later i sent another text just saying i'm joking and then there was no response to that either clarified i mean i think she probably knew you were joking but you know why do you I sent another text just saying I'm joking, and then there was no response to that either. Clarified.

I mean, I think she probably knew you were joking, but, you know. Why do you even want to go out with this girl if she doesn't get your sense of humor? We just have so much in common. We had a great time. So I'm like, why'd you come over to my place if you didn't like me? I don't understand why. Does somebody make signals right now? Yeah. She doesn't like her.

It is interesting. Do you use you just for the electricity in your outlets? Like, that's so rude. Getting your phone charged is pretty important. But she left the now. Yeah. She used you just for the electricity in your outlets? Like, that's so rude. I think getting your phone charged is pretty important. But she left the charger. Yeah. It obviously wasn't

that important to her. It's almost like she was planning on coming back if anything. Yeah. Maybe. I mean, we're going to find out when we come back.

We'll call Cece for you, make sure her family's okay, and then try and get you a second date update right after this. That would be important to confirm. Yeah, we're just going to check.

Hold on. Second date update. If you're just joining us our listener john is confused because he went to drinks with a woman named cece they picked up a charger for her dying phone and after that spent the entire evening over at his place until she left the next day but now cc's not responding and we don't know why and john in no way do i want you to think that this has anything to do with your romantic skills in the bedroom okay even though brooke wrote it down on a piece of paper and passed it to me while giggling uncontrollably i don't want you to think that even though Jose and Alexis both went online and tweeted that they think it's that I just don't want you to think it I think she enjoyed herself thoroughly and I think those are all

misconceptions that's the spirit John don't let reality ever set in on your life we're just kidding, by the way Just like the way you were kidding about the family abduction text That she sent her, trying to get her to respond to you She never even gave you a ha-ha on that one They're all risky jokes, is what we're saying Yeah, I mean, I feel like you guys are telling me more truthful than I was What your thoughts were

Okay, someone's confessing a little bit too much, I think Yep, yep, okay I mean, these are always weird ones Because I honestly don't know what, I mean, we don't know what she's going to say. It could be anything. Yeah, that would really defeat the purpose of the call if we knew what she was going to say. No, but like sometimes you can tell like what someone did wrong.

Like this could be, maybe she... I mean, the text is a start. That's true. She was already not texting him back by the time he sent that. I think that the nail in the coffin had already been laid. To be even more anticlimactic, sometimes it's just like, yeah, I had a fun night and that's all I wanted. And that's the answer. But in our mind, you've done absolutely nothing wrong.

Okay, John? That's not what we said at all, Jeff. There is zero working against you right now. You're the perfect man, and I believe that firmly while we dial her number. Do I need to pass you another note? No, keep your notes over there. Let's wait till we get her on the phone. Here we go.

Hello? Hey, we're looking for Cece. Yeah, this is her. Hey, you don't have to sound too excited, Cece. She doesn This is her. Hey. You don't have to sound too excited, Cece. She doesn't know who's calling. This is a good day for you because you're on the radio right now with Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

Hey. Hi. Hi. Hi, Cece. Come on. Where's the energy, Cece? Oh, my God. I kind of like her already.

Doesn't care. Are you in a bad mood because something's going on with your family? Don't say that. What? No, I'm being called by a radio station. It's a little weird. Yeah, your mood's fine. But we're doing something, maybe

to clear things up here for you. We're doing something called a second date update, and we're trying to help one of our listeners out to get a hold of you. It's a guy that you went out on a date with recently named john okay john who still has your cell phone charger john okay it's weird he's telling you stuff that yeah okay that's kind of something that we do here and the reason why i brought up the family thing earlier is because he told us about the text message that he sent you the joke about you know if you don't, you'll never see your family again or something like that.

It's funny. Which is funny. We laughed. What did you think? Out of everybody, Brooke laughed the hardest in this entire room. It was a bold move, we'll say that. What did you think when you read that, Cece? I honestly thought it was hilarious. Oh, you did?

Okay. Well, if that's true, then why didn't you respond? I honestly just don't it was hilarious. Oh, you did? I did. Okay. Well, if that's true, then why didn't you respond? I honestly just don't want to lead him on. He's a funny guy, just texting back, ha-ha, you know, even that kind of just another opening, you know? Well, and as a funny guy, you're doing the right thing, because the second you LOL back, we're going to just keep going. It is exhausting. Someone else was actually complimented as being funny And Jose even used that as an opening

Why didn't Jefferson text her group back? Well don't you think that leading him on Would ensue like going back to his place And spending the night Isn't that kind of leading him on? Well maybe you liked him at that point Yeah I mean honestly we had a great time It was super fun

I had a lot of fun with him I just Is there something you're not telling us? You just wanted a one night thing? Yeah, I mean, honestly, we had a great time. It was super fun. I had a lot of fun with him. I just... Is there something you're not telling us? You just want a one-night thing? Honestly, the tough part is I had such a good time with him. I honestly, I was waking up in the morning, and I thought that going on some more dates,

it could honestly be something like... Oh, my gosh. Yeah, leading to... Yeah, I really liked him. So, wait, are you just like... These all sound good. I don't understand. Are you nervous because it was too good,

and you think you'll never be able to match that level of greatness on a date ever again? I mean, I hear that about me all the time. I don't usually hear about other guys, though. This is a classic Jeff scenario. So, what's going on? I honestly wish that it was something, like self-involved is that i guess but it's honestly so it sounds like he told you that i went to his house i slept over yeah

and in the morning i went to the bathroom and he had like one of those like fancy heated toilet seats oh god those are so nice in the morning aren't they yeah oh my goodness why is that important that we need to know that? So I go back to the bedroom and, like, he's already up. We're about to, like, probably make breakfast or get on with our days. I'm getting dressed

and I was like, I was like, dude, I was like, that toilet is elite. I was like, that is so awesome having a heated toilet. Yeah. Okay. And he said that

he doesn't have a heated toilet. Huh? What? What do you mean he doesn't have a heated toilet? You were just on it. So I suppose maybe it was hot from the person who had used it before me, but it was like I thought it was technology making it that hot.

Oh, like he had been sitting there for a while before you went into the bathroom? Or somebody else had. I can't imagine how hot somebody would have to be to have the seat be that hot when I got to it. So you're saying John is hot. I don't know, y'all. I feel like honestly awful, but it's like, it's an ick. I literally can't get over it. And I feel so guilty.

I'm like, I just, it's not worth like hurting him and being weird. And just spending that long in there. It's like, that's an ick. I feel like, even though guys do it. Especially when you have a girl in your bedroom. But like he didn't, he wasn't even in there long. No, not when you have a girl over. bedroom. But, like, he didn't, he wasn't even in there long. No, not when you have a girl over. Oh, he wasn't in there long?

Oh. He was next to me in bed when I got up to go to the bathroom, and I hadn't seen him go to the bathroom. So it's like, how long ago? We're just going to be scalding hot. Well, you slept next to him. Was he a hot sleeper? Like, we have a lot of questions.

He's kind of, like, radiating from his butt. I don't know how your ears feel, if they're feeling a little bit warm right now, because John is actually on the line, too, so maybe you're feeling that. Are you kidding me? He's about to butt in. Yeah. John.

This is horrifying. Can I ask you a question? Your ick is a guy using the bathroom before you? That's your ick? It's not my ick at dick at all no it's how hot the seat was was so weird are you a sweaty guy you run hot there john i mean i do but like that's my butt with the assist you have like a nice warm toilet i'm not even saying that that's like a bad that's what i'm saying i don't want to hurt your feelings like you're awesome i don't want to like

make you feel weird about it i'm like i'm the one who feels i don't know what it is it's in it's like in my head i can't like ingrained like how hot it was like i thought you had it had technology making your seat hot oh my god it really is a problem for you john do you ever notice that your underwear is like melting down from like through your pant legs he's like i don't need seat warmers in my car no you treat me like i'm the human torch like i don't know just like a normal person using the bathroom here. Like, it's not. I know. And I just feel, this is what I didn't want to do.

I didn't want to have to make you even like question how hot your butt was. Cece, there's no way you can work through this. Like, yeah, sure. Maybe in that moment it was an ick. But like, what about from now on, you always get to use the restroom first? You know? That feels like a good yeah something that all relationships have to do like schedule who goes to the bathroom when or just you know eventually down the road you just get someplace with two toilets i don't know oh man that's gonna be a problem you already have to schedule it if you live with a man let's be honest like you guys spend so much time in there. I mean, it does seem like, CeCe, this is a lot to leave a guy who he had such a great time with, had a huge connection with.

You're going to give all of that up because the toilet seat was a little warm? Well, now am I the weird—now does he have an ick that I had an ick about the hot seat? I think you're overthinking this, CeCe. I think you're thinking way too hard about the ick. Like, what about the good parts? What's the opposite of ick? Brooke's trying to solve the issue for you over here. But, John, do you have any ideas, any solutions in your mind?

Yeah, I'll just buy a toilet seat warmer so you'll never know when I use it. You'll never actually get one. They are really clutch, honestly. Regardless if that's a real solution that's funny cc he's a funny guy he's a good time yeah and he has solutions too to the problems i think personally you should see him for another date a date that we would pay for if you're willing to go out with him one more time i would very much be willing to go out on another date now that you guys bridged all of this i didn't have to hide my shame congratulations john you can release her mother now out of your custody

i'll do it but i'm keeping her sister you took a little too far there bud brooke and jeffrey in the morning it funny. I feel like ladies have a lot more random ics when it comes to dating than guys do. It's actually funny nowadays. We're just in more of a power position where I think we can. You know what I mean? The power's gone to your head. I think the ics always happen, but girls have a word for it now.

If that happened to me with a warm toilet seat, personally, I wouldn't be grossed out by that. Alexis said she could understand the ick and that he's probably been on it for a long time. Alexis likes to imagine that no one actually goes to the bathroom. That's also true. This is not my topic. Well, I'm just asking all the women out there to lower your ick tolerance, please. Be a little bit more understanding of all the things that guys go through things that we put

up with you guys. Yeah, it's him saying that giving you the little turning me off. Yeah, it feels like thirsty. You guys are just perfect, aren't you? I don't know what they're going to call this. If they're

going to call this hot bottom Boys or whatever it is. But you can go check it out on our podcast wherever you get yours. Unless you don't want to get the ick. Check it out at Brooke and Jeffrey.
