This is Sophie Cunningham from Show Me Something. Do you know the symptoms of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea, or osa, in adults with obesity? They may be happening to you without you knowing. If anyone has ever said you snore loudly, or if you spend your days fighting off excessive tiredness, irritability, and concentration issues, it may be due to osa. OSA is a serious condition where your airway partially or completely collapses during sleep, which may cause breathing interruptions and oxygen deprivation.

So let me get this straight. Your company has data here, there, and everywhere, but your AI can't use the data because it's here, there, and everywhere? Seems like something's missing. Every business has unique data. IBM helps your AI access your data wherever it lives. To change how you do business. Let's create smarter business IBM.

[Brooke]

Okay, only 10 more presents to wrap. You're almost at the finish line. But first, There, the last one.

[Tracy]

Enjoy a Coca Cola for a pause that refreshes.

[Brooke]

All right, here we are. We're at the number four second date episode of the entire year.

[Jeff]

That's right.

[Jeffrey]

Oh my God.

[Brooke]

Thank you for being with us.

[Jeffrey]

Planning a fun activity for a first date. Is there anything better than mini golf?

[Brooke]

That's a good one, dude.

[Jeffrey]

Mini golf is fun by yourself.

[Brooke]

And they have those little pencils. Oh, especially the ones where you can drink at it.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, that's good. Yeah, they have a lot of them because you get a little friendly competition going, a little playful flirting, and of course, the windmill sets the mood for hot Dutch style romance on the 18th hole. Oh, at least you got a little fan. Yeah, you know what happens? So don't. How in the world did one person almost end up in tears on hole number nine? Uh oh, one got hit by a flying golf ball, but the dude says it is all his fault. So we're going to find out what happened in your number four second date update of the year right now. Second date update. You guys know the term double date where you go out on a date along with like, maybe a friend of yours who also has a date with them. That's two dates at the same time.

[Brooke]

I think everybody knows what a double date is.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I'm glad that everybody's on the same page because one of our listeners, Justin, went on a different kind of double date where he saw the same girl twice in one night.

[Brooke]

You mean he went on two dates in one night? I don't know.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, a double date. Exactly.

[Brooke]

It's a second date update. And then we'd be too close to that, so. Okay, we'll go with yours.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, it's a different twist on the term. And I'm just curious. After date. There you go. Justin, what did she say when you snuck up behind her as she was trying to get into her car?

[Brooke]

Oh, gosh, that's not. I think he's joking.

[Justin]

I think it didn't really work out that way.

[Brooke]

Oh, good, good.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, you double date differently than I do, so I guess start from the beginning of your first part of the date. What's this girl's name?

[Justin]

Her name is Tracy.

[Brooke]

Tracy.

[Jeffrey]

Tracy.

[Brooke]

Okay. And how'd you arrange the first hangout?

[Justin]

We actually met on Hinge and we had been chatting for a while, and then we decided to go out play mini golf, Something that we both were into.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Justin]

And you know, it's kind of interactive. It's easy.

[Jeffrey]

I apologize for my female host. She's not really a fan of fun.

[Brooke]

No, it's just often people don't describe, describe themselves as into mini golf.

[Jeffrey]

You know what I mean?

[Brooke]

Like, you do it, but you're not into it.

[Jeffrey]

You throw the idea out and people go, oh, that sounds fun, but no one's like, oh my God, I did nine rounds last week. I'm so ready for our day. Justin, would you like to apologize for the way that you worded that to us?

[Justin]

I guess when I brought up the idea she was into it. I was.

[Brooke]

Yeah, we get It. We get it. I just teasing you a little bit.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, we're just gonna make this as difficult as possible, so keep going. We'll keep roasting you.

[Justin]

Perfect. So we had a good time. Honestly. We, like, played for a while. At one point, I decided to play a joke on her. So when she turned around to putt, I hid behind one of those fake mountains that they have, and I was back there for a bit and she was calling my name.

[Brooke]

You hid from her?

[Justin]

I heard her say, did I seriously just get ditched again on a date.

[Jeffrey]

Again? That's what I heard. Like, this has happened to her before.

[Brooke]

You can't jump out and yell surprise after she says that out loud.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, now you actually have to leave. You hear him leave?

[Brooke]

Like, run away.

[Jeffrey]

So what. What you do? Oh, no.

[Justin]

I felt really bad, but I was still having fun, so I just kind of came out and surprised her. She definitely was a bit put off at first, I think.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, no.

[Justin]

But she started laughing regardless. I think it was a funny moment.

[Brooke]

She was angry and embarrassed, but it was funny.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, well, she must have felt really relieved to find out that she wasn't actually getting ditched. So the only place for this date to go is up from here. Also, in your defense, bro, you didn't know that she'd had been left on dates before, and you weren't trying to trigger anything. You were just having fun.

[Brooke]

This is funny. Regardless, it was a good attempt.

[Justin]

So, yeah, like, it wasn't really like that thought out, just kind of was in the moment type of thing.

[Brooke]

Yeah, obviously she did finally laugh about it.

[Justin]

Yeah, after she stopped crying, she laughed about it.

[Jeffrey]

Wait, she was crying?

[Justin]

No, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, your sense of humor is. It's even darker than mine.

[Brooke]

All right, so was that like the middle of the night or did you have a lot of hangout time after that?

[Justin]

So after that, we ended up going back to her apartment and we hung out, we had some drinks, and towards the end, she was a bit tired. She had a long day, so we just kind of wrapped things up and we planned to see each other again. So I went outside, I get to my car, and I realized someone slashed my tire.

[Brooke]

Oh, no.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, God. Oh, what? Maybe she was pranking you back.

[Brooke]

Oh, that is not a prank. Slash your tire. Do you have like a crazy ex or something out there? Yeah, cuz that's like serious.

[Justin]

No, not that I know of.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, so this was random?

[Justin]

I guess so. I. I didn't know who it was.

[Brooke]

So, I mean, she could have a crazy ex, too.

[Jeffrey]

Oh. In the driveway and.

[Brooke]

But hopefully not. What was it like going back to her door and telling her what happened?

[Justin]

Yeah, first off, she doesn't really live in the greatest neighborhood, so at that point, it was kind of like, I need to kind of get out of here, and I didn't want to wait on the sidewalk for Triple A or whatever, so I went back there. I mean, she was shocked that it happened, but, like, she invited me back in.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I bet she felt so bad. Yeah. I mean, even though it's not her fault.

[Jeffrey]

Right.

[Brooke]

Like, whenever somebody comes over to my house and something bad happens in my neighborhood, I'm like, oh, my God, save. Or someone in my apartment. Parking garage, your car gets hit. I'm like, girls, neighborhood. So embarrassed.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so does that mean that you ended up staying the night at her place?

[Justin]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, silver lining.

[Justin]

But I stayed on the couch. I didn't like to understand better anything.

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Was everything okay the next morning between you two?

[Justin]

Yeah, actually. So the next morning, Triple A came. While we were waiting for them to change my tire or whatnot, we had orange juice, split a bagel. It was nice, actually.

[Jeffrey]

Is this the second date? Yeah. I think him going back into her apartment in the same night, that would be the double version of the day. Just clicked for me. Sorry.

[Justin]

I mean, guys, I. I even got a quick kiss before I left, so I definitely think it ended on a high, Dude.

[Brooke]

And you didn't have a toothbrush with you, so that says a lot that she would give you a finger brush. You better have done.

[Jeff]

I mean, at least orange juice breath.

[Justin]

Okay. I mean, we weren't going full throttle, but I got a kick.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, it was a mouth kiss then.

[Justin]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Well, it could be like a oh, I'm. I feel bad for you forehead sort of kiss. What were you guys thinking?

[Brooke]

I don't know.

[Jeffrey]

You gu. I need to go, like, wash my brain out of whatever thoughts you were having.

[Brooke]

It's us that's the problem.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, you're poisoning me. And once we're all fresh and clean, we'll come back and do a very clean version of a second date update. I mean, I can't promise that, but fingers crossed, I'm hoping. Keep it clean right after this second date update. If you're just joining us, our listener Justin had his first date end with his car tire randomly getting slashed. So we know he lives in Alexis's.

[Brooke]

Neighborhood, but she's not arguing against that. No. Our cars get stolen full all four Tires die.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, but this specific incident happened outside of his date's apartment, so he kind of turned it into. Hey, it's kind of late for me to get a tow right now, so is it cool if I stayed the night? Yeah. And he did. Even got a kiss the next morning. But ever since then, his date Tracy seems to be avoiding him.

[Brooke]

Yeah, which is strange.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, was the quick peck that bad? I'm just kidding.

[Brooke]

Like I said. Said he didn't have a toothbrush, so maybe it was.

[Jeffrey]

Come on, it can't be morning breath. Everyone gets that. Justin, we don't know. Is there anything that's going through your mind for why Tracy's avoiding you?

[Justin]

I mean, I can't really think of it. I liked her. I thought it was a great date. Unless it was, like, the mini golf situation. I don't. I don't know.

[Jeffrey]

Because you tried to prank her at the mini golf course by hiding behind a mountain for a second.

[Brooke]

Yeah, not for a second. She thought that she got ditched again. Yeah. Do you remember that?

[Jeffrey]

Calling his name just long enough for her to shed tears.

[Brooke]

Although it did sound like you guys recovered, because you did go back to her place. She invited you there. So maybe it's just a. There's. Maybe there's just some simple misunderstanding we're going to fix.

[Jeffrey]

It has to.

[Justin]

Hopefully.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. I mean, on this show, it's always like a simple reason, an easy misunderstanding. It never gets weird or.

[Brooke]

There's a first time for everything, Jeff. And I am an optimistic person.

[Jeffrey]

We're all going to start.

[Jeff]

That's what we're saying.

[Brooke]

Oh, Alexis, I am something.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well, let's just dial Tracy and see if she answers. Okay, Here we go.

[Justin]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, is this Tracy?

[Tracy]

Yeah, this is Tracy.

[Brooke]

Hey.

[Jeffrey]

Well, hello. You're so pleasant.

[Brooke]

I know. She is, isn't she?

[Jeffrey]

Good morning.

[Tracy]

And who is this?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, this is Jose. Sorry, Jeff. Do your job, bro. We had a whole show. Oh, yeah, I interrupted.

[Jeff]

My bad.

[Jeffrey]

I was gonna let you guess a few times, but. Don't let her guess.

[Brooke]

She likes that game.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, if you don't want to play the game, I guess we're a rad show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Tracy]

Why are you guys calling me?

[Jeffrey]

Well, I'm Jeffrey.

[Brooke]

We don't need to go through all the interviews.

[Jeffrey]

You want to say who you are. Remember, before I'm Jose.

[Brooke]

Just tell her why we're.

[Justin]

Okay, okay.

[Jeffrey]

We're not doing. We're not doing the fun version of this segment today. We're doing the straight down to business version where we ask you, why aren't you calling back our friend Justin after you went on a date with him?

[Brooke]

Justin, explain the segment first.

[Jeffrey]

You didn't want to have fun with it.

[Brooke]

He didn't have to tear the band aid off like that.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, put the band aid back on. We're doing a segment. It's a fun one called second date update.

[Brooke]

Ooh.

[Jeffrey]

Did she hang up? Tracey, you still there? Hello?

[Brooke]

Yes.

[Tracy]

Yes, Sorry.

[Brooke]

Oh, thank goodness. She zoned out.

[Jeffrey]

You know what? We thought Jeff lost another one. I probably shouldn't be asking any more questions. Brooke, ask her something.

[Brooke]

Yeah, well, we heard that you went on a date, and now I already forgot the guy's name.

[Tracy]

I should not be talking to him anymore. I don't know how much you know, but there were some really, really sketchy things that happened that night.

[Brooke]

What do you mean? Whoa.

[Jeffrey]

To him, right? I mean, we don't condone people hiding behind mountains and acting like they ditched you mid date, if that's what you're talking about.

[Brooke]

Yeah, he did. He did tell us about the mini golf incident.

[Jeffrey]

It was pretty shady.

[Brooke]

He thought.

[Tracy]

That's not what I'm talking about.

[Jeffrey]

I just.

[Tracy]

I felt like I was lied to.

[Jeffrey]

Lied to?

[Brooke]

Did you catch him in a lie?

[Tracy]

You're saying I caught him in a lie? Oh, that's why I've not been calling him back.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, does he know about this?

[Tracy]

He doesn't know that I know.

[Brooke]

He doesn't know that you know?

[Tracy]

No, he knows what he did, but he doesn't know that I know what he did.

[Brooke]

Well, don't you want to call him out? I mean, that's what people tend to want to do when someone lies to them. You want to be like, no.

[Tracy]

He left the next morning, and a couple hours later, my apartment manager said he wanted to talk to me. And I was really confused because he's never wanted to talk to me about anything before. Like, I'm like, am I in trouble? And he told me that there was video surveillance of Justin slashing his own tire.

[Brooke]

What?

[Jeffrey]

What?

[Tracy]

Wait, he slashed his own tire so that he could come and stay with me?

[Jeffrey]

No. Wait.

[Tracy]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

Are you sure?

[Brooke]

Like, I mean, it's dark on those surveillance things. Like, oh, my God, no.

[Tracy]

There was a streetlight right over the car, and you could see very clearly that it was him.

[Jeffrey]

That's crazy.

[Tracy]

The reason my apartment manager contacted me about it is because you could see Justin walk up to m door.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God.

[Jeffrey]

That's kind of scary. Tires and knocks on your door.

[Brooke]

This is not gonna look good right now.

[Jeffrey]

We got a much different ver. Well, not a much different, but a slightly different version of that story when we talked to Justin about it.

[Brooke]

She has proof. Yeah, that's crazy.

[Jeffrey]

Although you can, like, Photoshop and video edit a lot of weird stuff.

[Brooke]

I'm sure that's what the manager was doing.

[Jeffrey]

Some apartment managers are sketchy. And we should probably at least hear what Justin has to say about it because he is on the other line right now waiting to talk to you.

[Brooke]

That is so uncomfortable.

[Tracy]

He's on the other line? So he's been. He's heard what I said?

[Brooke]

Yes. We had no idea.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, no, he did not.

[Tracy]

I don't want to. I don't want to talk to him.

[Jeffrey]

Well, we need to at least hear what he has to say about this, if he's still there. Justin, are you. Are you there?

[Justin]

Yeah, I'm here.

[Jeffrey]

Justin, I'm gonna step away and give you the floor here so you can explain yourself. I'm sure there's probably a very good reason for why you did that. A very noble reason.

[Brooke]

Y is noble to slash one's own tire?

[Jeffrey]

Justin. Go ahead.

[Justin]

I didn't see any cameras out there, so honestly, that's on me, I guess.

[Brooke]

But you did do that. That's your.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my God.

[Justin]

Listen, it was probably one of the best dates I've had in a really long time. And that's why I did it. I wanted to spend more time together. We got to hang out the next morning.

[Tracy]

That is.

[Justin]

I had a great time. Hey, you had a great time.

[Tracy]

So disgusting. I can't believe that somebody would actually stoop to that level and slash their own tire.

[Justin]

Well, I mean, if it's any consolation, it wasn't cheap. It still cost me $250. I had to replace my damn tire.

[Brooke]

Oh, wow, that's your move? Your move is slashing your own tire? Like you don't have confidence enough in your game.

[Justin]

I just did it. I don't know. I thought it would make a great story down the line, too. Family reunions or wedding, whatever.

[Brooke]

No one in the history of the world has ever thought slashing tires is cute.

[Jeffrey]

It's just.

[Tracy]

It's like a story for the police. Maybe I felt really bad about it because this happened in my neighborhood. I felt like it was my fault. And now listening to this and his excuses. I don't care how much money it costs. That was really, really kind of creepy.

[Brooke]

It's just so manipulative.

[Justin]

Justin, Honestly, not really. I mean, guys do crazy things all the time so they can spend time with girls. Like, not that crazy.

[Jeffrey]

Wow.

[Brooke]

Have you done this more than once?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, that's a good question.

[Justin]

Listen, I am not a serial tire slasher, all right?

[Brooke]

I didn't say cereal. I said more than once.

[Justin]

I did this one other time, and that was only when we were six months together, so it's not like I've done this a million times.

[Jeffrey]

One other time. So the last time it worked to get a long term relationship is what you're saying?

[Justin]

Actually, she was trying to break up with me last time, so it was sort of a different situation.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, you only pull this move out when you're really, really desperate.

[Brooke]

Right before the restraining order takes effect. I mean, that's the type of move this is. Justin.

[Justin]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Why. Why don't you feel bad? Why haven't you apologized?

[Justin]

Oh, I mean, I'm sorry. Like, it was my tire, okay?

[Brooke]

It was my tire. Oh, my God.

[Jeffrey]

Tracy, you've heard his explana. Which was he felt like it was the best state of his life and he just didn't want it to end. Is there any part of you that feels compassion for him?

[Brooke]

No.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, clearly they need to mark the area better. That says this area is under surveillance.

[Brooke]

If you're psycho and planning to slice.

[Jeffrey]

Your own tires, that'd be a nice warning.

[Tracy]

You know, it's really, really weird, and I. I just think that you should have spent $250 maybe taking me out on the date the next time. Because I would have said yes.

[Brooke]

Yeah, like buying flowers, doing normal things, not psychotic. Exactly.

[Justin]

You guys are acting like I committed murder or something. I. I mean, I literally flashed my own tire. Get over it, guys.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God.

[Jeffrey]

Well, that's fair. Let's give him credit for not murdering on the first date, okay? He deserves credit for that.

[Brooke]

I can't believe we're looking at murder red flags right now. But I'm pretty sure this is one of them.

[Jeffrey]

Tracy, he's not a murderer, so maybe, yeah, maybe that's enough to give him another chance.

[Brooke]

The guy who obviously keeps a knife on him for his tires.

[Jeffrey]

I'm sure it's in his car.

[Justin]

It was a screwdriver.

[Tracy]

Whatever it was, unfortunately, I think that this one's definitely a no go.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, you could build some Ikea furniture for you.

[Justin]

Come on now, you're missing out. Listen, I'm pretty crafty. I'm romantic, all of it. So, yeah, yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, I stole you these flowers.

[Brooke]

That's why Your ex girlfriend stuck around?

[Justin]

Yeah, I mean, she stayed around a couple more months after I flashed my tire the last time, so.

[Jeffrey]

That's sweet.

[Brooke]

Manipulated her into it.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, Justin, man, look, I'm sorry.

[Brooke]

I'm not well.

[Jeffrey]

Tracy doesn't want to go out with you. Clearly. This isn't going to work.

[Brooke]

Ever. It won't ever work if you do this.

[Justin]

I mean, you're probably 50% right?

[Jeffrey]

Okay, that's optimistic. Yeah, probably.

[Jeff]

Maybe.

[Jeffrey]
