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.

Be more you this year and find them on Bumble.

Listen to Better Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever else you get your podcasts from. Second date update. I want to know from the ladies in the room, how do you feel if a guy offers to take you out on a date but doesn't want to tell you where you're going or what you're doing beforehand? Is that fun or creepy? Are you talking to me? I can never tell when you say ladies.

I said ladies. I don't know. I kind of like it. It's a lot of effort. I think surprises are great. First date, it can be kind of a gamble, depending on where you met the person. What if he offers to blindfold you and duct tape your hands together

so your arms don't get tired? Yeah, that's not going to end well. I'm going to say I hope you have mace. Well, that's what happened for one of our listeners named Mia. What? She got duct tape? Is she still in the trunk? No, not the blindfold and duct tape part.

The surprise part of the day. Oh, God. Okay, good. And she wants our help right now. Hey, Mia. Hi, guys. How are you? Oh, my God.

She does sound like she's in a trunk somewhere. Yeah. Just kick the taillight out, Mia. Yeah, you guys are hilarious. Well, tell us a little bit about the guy that you went out with. What's his name? His name is Justin. And technically, we had two dates. The first date was a zoom date, which is, you know, always interesting, a little awkward, a little like, what's going on? But yeah, that was your first date. There was another date after that.

Yeah. So we ended up deciding, OK, let's meet up. Let's do this in person. So I got in the car and it was, you know, he's really cute in person. And I could feel that like there was definitely chemistry between us. And then he looked in the backseat and I was like, OK. And I look in the backseat and there are three boxes of eggs. Of eggs? Yeah, eggs.

And I was like, are we scrambling them? Like don't understand yeah i'm curious and then he goes we're gonna do a drive an egg situation because halloween is really close and i was like what wait like you're gonna go egg people's houses oh driveing. Are you for real? He really honestly wanted to go egg people's houses. Well, kind of. He had a different spin on it. So hear this out. Okay, so he said to me, let's go egg certain buildings and things like that just to let all of our anxiety and anger out because it's been a crazy year. So you're going out with a guy to throw eggs because he has pen up rage.

I'm seeing red flags. But I don't know. Girls always like the bad boy. Bad boy with a box of eggs. Not the mentally unstable guy, though. Like there's a difference. It reminds me of something my little brother would do. Yeah.

I mean, you were game for this. You obviously it at the start i was like i didn't know what to expect i was just like okay i guess i'll try this as it'll be a great story later on to my friends like i don't know okay so where did you go we ended up driving to his dentist's office and he was angry because they overcharged him for a crown he just put in oh my god this is weird now it's like he's actually seeking revenge on people way too expensive i've agreed agreed alexis i agree but what were you thinking i was like what is going on i was it was one of those things where like i saw that he was exhilarated and like he was really letting it out. But also a part of me was just like, is this normal or is this not normal? Is vandalism on the first date because you got overcharged for a crown normal?

No, we're going to go with no, that's not normal. But it made you kind of want to do it, huh? I mean, yeah. I mean, he looked like he was like really letting it out. And I was like, well, I got some things I want to let out. So I was like, I guess I'm on this trip anyway, so might as well just participate. So we went to my old office, and I got some eggs,

and I started just throwing it on the side. Oh, no! And then we went to my ex-boyfriend's house, and we egged his house. Wait, that's crazy. You shouldn't even be talking about an ex, let alone stalking them at their house and egging them. But we did it. Okay.

It was good for you, I guess. I mean, how did it feel to egg your ex-boyfriend's house? To be honest, it was actually kind of cathartic. I could actually see that feeling really, really nice. We also went to the bank and egged the bank because they denied me for a loan two weeks ago and I was so angry. Come on, though.

He's just getting out of hand now. Yeah. I know. I kind of liked it. Is that weird? I mean, he obviously got the passion going in you, and I think that's the key to having a great first date. True. So did you guys end up egging each other maybe at the end of the evening?

A little sensual egging? Making things a little interesting? I mean, a part of me would have been down for that for sure at that point. But he drove me home, and I asked him if he wants to come inside, and he said no, that he had to go home because he's really tired okay and i haven't heard from him since man i mean you guys have so much in common so it's weird like felonies it's definitely an unconventional first date but i can definitely see the romance in it too i don't know know, man. It's just so much like negativity and like you're

still hung up on your ex, obviously. I think there's a lot of reasons why he wouldn't be calling you back. Okay, well, who's being negative now, bro? I'm just saying! Like, he didn't go to his ex's house. Like, the ex house, do you think that that's where you went wrong? I want to egg you right now, bro. I'm just saying, maybe

you shouldn't have egged your ex's house, okay? Listen, I understand, okay? I get what you guys just saying, maybe you shouldn't have egged your ex's house, okay? Listen, I understand, okay? I get what you guys are saying, but he made me feel some type of way, like almost like being bad never felt so good. I don't know. I just want to talk to him again. I think that's cute. Yeah, me too.

So let's call this bad boy. Let's go. We're going to play a song, come back, and we'll call Justin and try and get your second date update, all right? Okay. All right, hold on. You're in the middle of a second date update update. And we're going to find out how the couple is doing right after you hear part two. Who doesn't love a good Halloween themed date? You know, for some people that might mean a fun trip to the pumpkin patch

or maybe a romantic hayride through a cornfield at sunset, or maybe just cuddling up on the couch, listening to shrieks as Jason Voorhees terrorizes an entire town. That's fun. I like it. But for one of our listeners, Mia, she went on a Halloween-themed date where they drove around egging businesses that wronged them. Oh, man. And?

And her ex-boyfriend. And her ex-boyfriend. And her ex-boyfriend. Who also wronged her? She did that with a guy named Justin, and she was a little bit skeptical about doing it at first, but as the night went on and more eggs were flying,

she got more and more into it, ended up having a really nice time with him, but now he's not calling her back. Bonding over illegal activity. I can't believe he's not calling you back. The ability to pick a woman up with eggs in your backseat and say, we're doing this and for you to be game and now he's not calling you back is pretty messed up. You're like ride or die on one date.

Instantly you're like, let's go. How are you feeling about this, Mia? I just want to know, what did I do that he's not calling me back? Now, have you thought that he's in jail? Honestly, it's crossed my mind. Okay. I mean, I thought that too. Maybe they got his license plate or something.

Totally. Oh my gosh. Imagine. You could incriminate yourself by doing this phone call. The police could find you. Yeah. And you really don't want to find yourself in jail telling the other inmates when they ask, what are you in for?

Yeah. Throwing eggs. I threw an egg at a bank. Yeah, no. All right, leave it to Beaver. Let's see where Justin's at. We're going to dial his number right now, okay? Okay. All right, here we go. to beaver let's see where justin's at we're gonna dial his number right now okay okay all right here

we go hello hi is this justin um yeah no hi justin my name is jeffrey from the radio show brooke and jeffrey in the Morning. How you doing? I'm good. I'm sorry. Who is this? My name's Jeffrey. Work on a morning radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. I'm here with the whole team, Brooke, Jose, Alexis is here too. Okay. Why are you calling me? I'm calling you because somebody told us

that you're kind of a bad boy. Oh my god, you're flattered. I just heard it in his voice. He's like, yeah, I am. I guess, yeah, I guess I'm kind of a bad boy. Yeah, I heard. Spoken like a true bad boy. I'll admit it. That's me.

Have you been toiling paper in some houses lately? Look, man, the reason that we're calling is we're doing something called a second date update. And what that is is if you go out with someone and afterwards, if they're not calling you back, you can email our show and we'll reach out to that person for you to try and figure out the reason why. Okay. Based on what I've told you so far about being a bad boy and the dates? Do you have any idea who I might be calling about? I mean, I've got a hope about who you might be calling about, I guess. A hope? A hope. Okay, that's a good sign.

Who do you think? Is it Mia? It is Mia. Oh, wait. So you're hoping to hear from her. Why aren't you calling her back? Well, I mean, like, look, we had a good time on our date. And, like, she's fun, like, high energy.

You know, really just goes for things. All stuff that I love in somebody I'm dating. Yeah. She told us all about your drive-by egging date for Halloween. Oh, my God. No, she didn't. She didn't tell you guys all that. Yeah, she did. Oh, my God. I have didn't. She didn't tell you guys all that. Yeah, she did. Oh my god. I have

to ask. What was going through your mind? Like, you're picking up this woman that you barely know and you're like, oh, hopefully she's into egging. I'm bringing three dozens. Yeah. What? Well, like I said, even when we talked the first time, she seemed fun and, like, spontaneous and I was like, worst case scenario,

I can kind of play it off like I was joking and I was just going to make, like, a bunch of omelets or something if she was super not into it, you know? OK. Yeah. She was like she was she was down for it. I love that. Yeah. So if everything went well and she obviously enjoyed herself, then why are you not calling her back?

Well, the short version is like, I made a mistake early on. Okay. And I didn't want to make things worse for her. Worse? What? Worse? What do you mean worse? I mean, yeah.

Like early on in your egg crime spree or whatever you call it. How does it get worse? Like, what's next? You're going to go throwing knives at businesses now? Yeah, you wouldn't believe how much a dozen knives were. Wait, what? Okay, yeah. I was joking. I don't know if he is.

Me too. I was joking because you were joking. Okay. Uh-huh, sure. Yeah. So I messed up at the dentist's office, and they caught my license plate on camera. Oh. Yeah.

I knew you were going to get caught. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. So what happened? Did the cops actually get involved with an egging at a dentist office uh yeah i mean you know i've been talking to the police and stuff and we're in the middle of dealing with that um but i you're a bad boy like you's used to dealing with the police all the time huh it's no big deal no i mean that's the thing i not. But one of the things that I do know is snitches get stitches.

So I've been doing my best to, like, not bring Mia into this, too. Like, I don't want to rat her out and make her life bad because she, like, decided to do something I wanted to do. So I'm kind of forcibly laying her low, you know, so they don't connect us to each other. They like tapping your cell phone, seeing who you're calling to see who else is involved in this egging. I'm sorry. You sound like the dorkiest criminal I've ever met.

And I don't mean that in a mean way, but like, what is going on, man? Do you regret doing the egging? Don't you think it's a bad way to start a relationship? I mean, no. The egging was awesome. I got zero regrets there. Obviously, I regret getting caught,

but in terms of dates, that was one of the best dates I've ever been on. Dude, that makes me want to go do this stuff. No, we are not encouraging this behavior. It's going to be great. Well, I've got some bad news for you, man. Oh, snitches get stitches, Jeffrey. Yeah. The cops are actually listening in on this phone call.

No! Don't say that. The cops aren't, but Mia is. She's actually on the other line, listening and wants to talk to you. Wait, what? She's on the phone? She's there, Mia. Hi, Justin.

Hey. Justin, I had such a good time with you and like you really like are a bad boy and like it makes me feel like like am i a bad girl like i don't know i just feel like oh you're a bad girl mia and you know it oh my god these boys just got hired i know that's what happens oh this is cute see and he's not only a bad boy, but he's protecting you from jail. Oh, my gosh. That's like a romance novel. I mean, do you believe him, Mia?

Do you think that's why he's not calling you back? Yeah, I mean, I just, like, I totally get it, but I would love to spend more time with you if you're down. I mean, yeah, obviously. I totally want to hang out with you. I'm just waiting for the fuzz to get off my back so we can hang out. Did you just say the fuzz? You should put him in witness protection. Look out look out me the coppers are on his tail

so justin here's the deal we would love to send you and me out on one more date one more legal date can we say that crime spree date one more crimeree. Whatever you guys want to do, we'll pay for it. Okay. I mean, yeah, obviously, I was going to take her out anyway, so this is a bonus date. Oh, my gosh. Can you guys, like, put the date money in, like, a big cloth sack and we can pick it up at a drop shop or something? Just as long as you share your mugshot with us at the end of the day. Well, congratulations, you two.

Thanks, guys. And, Justin, I just want to let you know, whatever you want to do, I'm up for anything, so, you two. Thanks, guys. And Justin, I just want to let you know, whatever you want to do, I'm up for anything. So let's go. Oh, my God. This is trouble. Knowing him, he's like, ooh, we're going to put too much air in people's tires. Ha, ha, ha. That'll teach him.

They're going to go jaywalking together. Look out. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. All right. it's a second date update update all right and justin just sent us an email saying he spent one day in jail because of the egging but he never turned mia in and now they're both back on to give us an update how's prison life guys i mean you know obviously it's made me super stuck tough i can tell from your giggle yeah you sound like a man so uh what's going on with you two how's the relationship going are you still together well ever since our first egging together we've been going out and we just moved in together and we're really happy i can't believe you waited for him after his prison time.

I know. That's some discipline there. Yeah, it's a long time. Oh, that's so sweet. I got to give you guys huge props and say thank you. Like, I never, ever would have gone out with her again. I was going to ignore her forever, you know, to keep her out of trouble. And this has been super great.

Oh, yeah. Well, you owe us, so it's cool. Well, you know, I got a dozen eggs with your name on them. That's sweet. I'd be honored to take your eggs, sir. So have you guys committed any other crimes to keep your relationship alive? We went to my ex's house and egged it. What? Just randomly?

Yeah, actually to celebrate. It was our one year dating eggs-aversary, if you will. Oh, eggs-aversary. I love it. That is quite the tradition. Yeah. We want to go to that house and egg it every year.

I don't even know if my ex lives there anymore. It's just at this point it's our thing, you know? Whatever works for you. That's romantic. Why is it cute? I don't know. I don't know, but it kind of works. Yeah.
