Listener Story: Sasha's Date with Marcus

The episode centers around Sasha, who shares her unsettling experience after a first date with a man named Marcus. The date took place at an event known as the "Dino Drunkfest," a local festival where attendees don inflatable T. Rex costumes and engage in drink-centric activities.

  • Sasha explains the unusual nature of the event: “It's a festival where everybody wears, like, these inflatable T. Rex costumes.” (05:50).
  • The festivities included climbing a rock wall while in costume, which proved challenging due to the bulkiness of the inflatable dinosaur suits and the alcohol consumption: “…costume is plastic and you have, like, kind of like climb a wall. So, like, you were falling.” (06:19).

Post-Date Complications: Losing the Earrings

After an evening of heavy drinking and unconventional activities, Sasha left the date feeling overwhelmed and decided to leave to return to work the next morning. In her haste, she inadvertently left her diamond stud earrings at Marcus's apartment.

• Realization and Immediate Action:

  • Sasha realizes she left her earrings overnight and attempts to retrieve them: “And I just went back to his house and I ring the doorbell and, like, somebody else answered the door.” (08:03).
  • Her attempts to contact Marcus were met with silence, prompting her to return to his apartment to find an unfamiliar person at the door.

• Jeffrey's Concern:

Attempting to Recover the Earrings

Determined to reclaim her earrings, Sasha reaches out to Marcus multiple times without success. This raises suspicions about Marcus's intentions and the authenticity of the situation.

• Brooke and Jeffrey's Intervention:

  • The hosts decide to intervene by calling Marcus directly on the show to mediate the situation: “We have two objectives today. The main objective, recovering some precious belongings.” (09:56).
  • Marcus finally answers, showing frustration and confusion: “I'm sorry, I'm sorry. What radio station is this?” (12:07).

• Confrontation and Clarifications:

  • Through the conversation, it becomes evident that Marcus had instructed his younger brother to answer the door in his absence, leading to misunderstandings: “Exactly. That's my little younger brother.” (14:13).
  • Marcus accuses Sasha of intentionally leaving her earrings to orchestrate a second date: “She tried to pull one of those Cinderella acts for me.” (13:01).
  • Sasha vehemently denies any intentional wrongdoing: “That's shady. That's not what happened.” (16:30).

---

Resolution Efforts

Despite initial tensions, Brooke and Jeffrey aim to resolve the issue amicably by facilitating the return of Sasha's earrings.

• Proposed Solutions:

  • The hosts suggest arranging a new date sponsored by them to allow Sasha and Marcus to reconcile and return the earrings in person: “We have two objectives today… recovering some precious belongings.” (09:56).
  • Marcus remains resistant but eventually agrees to send the earrings: “You will get. I got you. I will give you your earrings back.” (16:01).

• Final Outcome:

  • The episode concludes with the promise to verify the authenticity of the earrings and ensure they are returned to Sasha, albeit without rekindling any romantic relationship: “We will pay to have them diamond tested for validity, and then we'll send them back over to Sasha's place.” (18:40).

[Brooke]

We're ready for action. So start at the beginning. Sasha, tell us what happened with this guy.

[Sasha]

Okay. I met this guy named Marcus online.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Sasha]

And aside from him, like, being super attractive, like, tall and, like, bald, all the stuff that I like. I'm really into tennis, and he's really into tennis. So that was the one thing that I was like. Okay. So we started talking or whatever, and he was, like, thinking of stuff that was kind of out the box, and so there was, like, a local festival. I don't know. I'm sure y'all heard of the dino drunk fest, right?

[Jeffrey]

The what?

[Brooke]

Dino drunk.

[Sasha]

Dino drunk fest.

[Jeffrey]

No, but I. I want to go. Do you get drunk and roar like a stegosaurus?

[Sasha]

You get drunk when I'm like, the drunk fest, but it's the drink fast where you get drunk. You feel me? You got it.

[Brooke]

No, but have you been drinking this morning? Because I don't know if I'm following.

[Jeffrey]

Where do the dinosaurs come into play?

[Sasha]

I'm a little hungover. I can't even lie. I'm a little hungover because I did. I did go out last night. Anyway, it's like this festival where everybody wears, like, these inflatable T. Rex costumes. Okay.

[Jeffrey]

That's so fun. I love those. Yeah.

[Sasha]

I thought it was a little weird, but I was just like, you know what? I'm really attracted to him, and let's do something.

[Jeffrey]

Are you still attracted to a guy who. Who shows up to your date in an inflatable T. Rex costume?

[Alexis]

Well, super fun.

[Brooke]

She's also supposed to be in the T. Rex costume, too, so it's.

[Jeffrey]

Ooh, could you share one so that it's like, you're hanging out still?

[Alexis]

Oh, My goodness, that's a good idea.

[Brooke]

This is some hot Jurassic action that we're about to get into. So how did it go?

[Sasha]

So we go in, drinking in the outfits, and then, like, for some reason, they had a rock wall. Now imagine, like, costume is plastic and you have, like, kind of like climb a wall. So, like, you were falling.

[Jeffrey]

Does it not hurt as bad when you land?

[Brooke]

Yeah, it depends on how much you've drunk, too.

[Jeffrey]

Did you do the rock wall or is this just something you were used by?

[Sasha]

But he did.

[Jeffrey]

He did.

[Sarah Spain]

Oh, okay.

[Sasha]

And I was like, you know what? I've had enough of Dino World. Like, you know, drafting Mark.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

Let's go.

[Brooke]

But good for you.

[Alexis]

You went out of your comfort zone for a whole hour, hour and a half.

[Jeffrey]

And it sounds like you had fun.

[Sasha]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

And you had a good time.

[Sasha]

I don't know if I had a good time, but I did it.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Alexis]

Still proud of you.

[Jeffrey]

And you still liked him because you guys left together.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Sasha]

He was like, well, do you want to go back to my place? And I'm like, yeah. Then he mentioned, like, having some more drinks, and we'll be like, I needed more to drink, but whatever.

[Brooke]

Let'S just.

[Alexis]

Get out of here and, like, go get drunk at your house.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Usually that's like, decisions like, this is why the dinosaurs don't roam the earth anymore.

[Brooke]

Okay. So that's how you end up back at Marcus's apartment.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Sasha]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Sasha]

So we go back, we're chilling more drinks, we end up watching movies. So, like, eventually after a while, I'm like, oh, I didn't realize it was like 3:00 in the morning. I had to get up at 6 to go to work.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, dang. Don't you sleep at that point?

[Ed Helms]

No.

[Jeffrey]

You're not sober at work the next day, I can tell you that.

[Brooke]

So what do you do?

[Sasha]

So I ordered Uber, I rushed out. So then the next day, get to work, realize, oh, my God, I left my earrings.

[Jeffrey]

Oh.

[Sasha]

And they were like, not just the ordinary earrings, they're like my diamond stud earrings.

[Jeffrey]

Oh.

[Alexis]

I mean, you were on a date, so you probably wore the good stuff.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my God, I don't even have any good stuff. So good for you. Yeah.

[Sasha]

Yeah. So I reached out to him and, like, no reply.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, God. It's the worst too, because you leave it actually on accident and everyone assumes you're doing it so that the guy calls you again and you're like, no, honestly, he made.

[Alexis]

I've honestly told his friends, like, guys, she purposely Left her stuff here.

[Brooke]

Red flag.

[Alexis]

They're all probably telling him, dude, that's not a good.

[Jeffrey]

You guys talk to their friends about that?

[Alexis]

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, they got more than we do.

[Alexis]

No, it's more like, dude, she took my hoodie. This is working.

[Brooke]

So where are you at with Marcus now?

[Sasha]

Well, after a while, I was like, okay, no, those are my earrings. I need those. So he didn't. He never replied back. And I just went back to his house and I ring the doorbell and, like, somebody else and.

[Jeffrey]

What?

[Sasha]

I rang the doorbell and somebody else answered the door.

[Alexis]

Guy or girl?

[Sasha]

It was a guy.

[Jeffrey]

All right.

[Sasha]

And I was like. Because no one was there the night before, and he never said anything about a roommate. And I said, hey, you know, I'm looking for Marcus. I was here last night. I left my earrings, and he hasn't texted back. And they were like, I don't know what you're talking about.

[Marcus]

Who's Marcus?

[Jeffrey]

No, what, were they playing dumb? Was it a joke?

[Sasha]

I mean, if they were playing dumb, they were a really good actor because he was just like, I don't know what you're talking about.

[Brooke]

Well, you have been drinking for, like, many, many hours in a dinosaur costume and after that, too.

[Jeffrey]

So what are you thinking? Like, wrong door? Is that what you mean?

[Brooke]

Yeah, probably wrong, like, city, even.

[Jeffrey]

So.

[Brooke]

But. So, okay, now we're going to call Marcus for you and try and help you get your earrings back. Do you want a date, too?

[Sasha]

I mean, I'm open to it. I just kind of really want to know. Why did he, like, hurt me like that?

[Jeffrey]

Like, why does no one else want to know who the random guy in his house was?

[Brooke]

We don't even know if that was his house.

[Alexis]

I think we all assume it's the wrong.

[Brooke]

Right?

[Jeffrey]

I don't know.

[Brooke]

We have a lot of questions to ask this guy once we get him on the phone. We're going to come back and try and get you your second date update right after this second date update. If you're just joining us for the second date update, we have two objectives today. The main objective, recovering some precious belongings. Yes, we're putting love on the back seat just for the beginning because we need to help Sasha get her earrings back.

[Jeffrey]

Get her diamonds back, Jeff.

[Marcus]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

It's more than just earrings. Seriously, it's so important.

[Brooke]

I didn't realize.

[Jeffrey]

Thank you, Alexis.

[Brooke]

But she left them at a guy named Marcus's apartment after they hung out all night. And the weird part was, she texted him to get them back. He didn't respond to her. So she actually physically went to his place the next day, and a different guy answered his door and said, I don't know, Marcus. Marcus doesn't live here.

[Jeffrey]

Do you think he. Do you think he moved? Moved out in the middle of the night?

[Brooke]

Is it possible you scared him completely out of his own building, Sasha?

[Sasha]

I doubt that. Like, we had a really good night and I don't know why he wouldn't, like, take me back. I'm like, did he sell him? Like, I don't know. It's weird.

[Alexis]

The guy's like, I have no idea what you're talking about too. Like, there's no, like, oh, I've seen.

[Jeffrey]

That's the thing for me.

[Ed Helms]

That's my neighbor.

[Brooke]

She had said she was drinking a lot, so we don't even know if it was the right place that she.

[Jeffrey]

Went back to his name. So many things.

[Brooke]

A lot of things to answer. So let's just call Marcus, if this actually is Marcus's number, and see what he has to say. But here we go.

[Marcus]

Hello?

[Brooke]

Hey, we're looking for Marcus.

[Marcus]

Who's calling?

[Brooke]

We're a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Jeffrey]

Pretty fun.

[Alexis]

Hey, good morning.

[Brooke]

You could tell by the tone of my co host voice how fun we are.

[Jeffrey]

I'm the fun one.

[Alexis]

What's up, Marcus?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, Marcus. Welcome to the show.

[Sasha]

Show.

[Brooke]

We're so jealous.

[Jeffrey]

I did sound like Eeyore when I said that. I apologize.

[Ed Helms]

It's early.

[Alexis]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Marcus, are you there?

[Marcus]

Yeah. Good morning, everyone.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, good morning.

[Brooke]

Sorry to like, barge in on your life like this, but we're doing something called the Second date Update and we're trying to help.

[Marcus]

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. What radio station is this?

[Brooke]

We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning and.

[Marcus]

Okay, we're.

[Brooke]

We're trying to help out one of our listeners named Sasha that you actually went on a date with.

[Marcus]

Yeah, Sausage Sasha. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Drinking with dinos. Right?

[Marcus]

Yeah. That was crazy.

[Jeffrey]

Crazy, crazy.

[Alexis]

We heard it was kind of a crazy night.

[Jeffrey]

Well, I mean, we also heard you went up a rock wall in a T. Rex costume, so I think crazy suits the event.

[Marcus]

Yeah, I was, you know, I was messed up that night.

[Brooke]

Okay, we heard. We heard there were some positives and some also negatives from the date because Sasha said that she left her earrings at your apartment and texted you about it and you never responded.

[Marcus]

Yeah, she tried to pull one of those Cinderella acts for me.

[Jeffrey]

No, no, no, no, Marcus, it was not a move. It Was not like a ploy to get you to call her back. She honestly forgot them.

[Brooke]

But what did you. What did you call it? A Cinderella act?

[Alexis]

Yeah, that's what it's.

[Marcus]

Yeah. I'm sorry. Were you there?

[Jeffrey]

No, but I talked to her. I talked to her and I could tell that, like. Okay, listen, if a woman leaves, it's all an act. It's not going to be her diamond earrings. Nothing she actually cares about at all. Thank you.

[Alexis]

That's a good point.

[Jeffrey]

It's something that she could totally toss.

[Brooke]

We don't know if they're real diamonds, though.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, right.

[Marcus]

Exactly. I don't have a diamond. I don't have a diamond detector. I don't know if they're real diamonds or not. Nevertheless, I know she left them intentionally at my house. I know this.

[Jeffrey]

No, why. Why would you know that?

[Brooke]

How do you know that?

[Marcus]

How do I know that? I can tell. Like it happened to me before.

[Alexis]

Yeah, well, it's happened to all of us dudes. But imagine if it really is an accident. Bro.

[Marcus]

Listen, she can have her earrings back. I don't want them. What the heck I need them for?

[Jeffrey]

Then why aren't you texting her back?

[Marcus]

The reason why I haven't texted back because I don't want her showing up at my house like she did the other day.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, that is your house.

[Brooke]

We. Okay? She told us that she actually went back to get the earrings, but somebody else answered the door.

[Alexis]

Was that.

[Brooke]

You didn't live there? No. I don't even know you.

[Marcus]

Exactly. That's my little younger brother. I gave him instructions on what to say, what to do when I'm not home playing games.

[Jeffrey]

Now why don't I just give her the earrings?

[Alexis]

Yeah, true.

[Marcus]

Listen, she just popped over my house on some shady, like, she. It was just. Listen, you didn't even get the text messages. You.

[Brooke]

She's doing it on purpose just to try and, like, get back into your life and trying to get another date with you.

[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Marcus]

Yes. And she would have gotten another date if she did not pull this stunt.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, it's not a stunt.

[Brooke]

Look, we don't really know what the intentions were behind it. The only thing we can do at this point is bring Sasha on the phone right now to talk. I mean, I know it's not a great look, but the truth is she's been secretly listening on the other line waiting to talk to you.

[Jeffrey]

You gotta use the word secret.

[Brooke]

Well, it wasn't open, so what else do you call it? Sasha, you there?

[Sasha]

Hey, Marcus.

[Marcus]

Oh. Oh, man, what are you pulling this now?

[Sasha]

Okay, you know, I would have really appreciated if you didn't have your little brother answer the door. And if you could have come to the door and give me my earrings yourself. Like, what kind of games are you playing?

[Brooke]

I think he would have appreciated if you had warned him that you were going to show up to his apartment uninvited.

[Jeffrey]

You know what? You're bad. How is he gonna warn him? There's no response.

[Brooke]

Clearly Marcus was scared of her.

[Alexis]

Oh, God, this is so.

[Jeffrey]

He hung out with her until three in the morning. You weren't that scared. Marcus, come on.

[Marcus]

Listen, she was in a drunken stupor the whole time. She was drunk.

[Alexis]

Who are you?

[Brooke]

You're the one that fell off the rock wall. Marcus.

[Sasha]

Okay, are you serious? A dino drink fest is where you take me dating? You have the nerve to try to save me right now? Really? I just need my earrings back. Can you.

[Marcus]

You will get. I got you. I will give you your earrings back. But guess what I'll do. I'll send it to you. I need an address to send these earrings to you.

[Jeffrey]

Are you trying to show up at her house, Marcus? Is that what you're trying to.

[Marcus]

I'm not trying to show up at the house. No, I'm not trying to show up at her house either.

[Brooke]

Wait, before we started, like exchanging addresses with each other. Sasha, Marcus is accusing you of leaving the earrings there on purpose. Trying to Cinderella him to meet, like, trying to make sure you meet up with him again, right?

[Sasha]

That's shady. That's not what happened.

[Brooke]

You're saying.

[Sasha]

No, no, I didn't leave on purpose, but I have done that before, like five other times.

[Brooke]

Oh, Marcus, you weren't. You weren't even worth Cinderella.

[Sasha]

But you don't leave dye her wrong earrings that night. So.

[Brooke]

Ok, can you see like, her perspective? I mean, it sounds like Marcus, maybe you have a little bit of. Bad experiences in the past.

[Jeffrey]

I was gonna say. I was gonna say trust issues.

[Brooke]

Okay, sure.

[Marcus]

Listen. She just admitted that she left the earrings at other places. Like at least about five different times.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, come on, Marcus. Like, don't be so righteous, all right? You've done shady stuff before too. We all have.

[Marcus]

She gonna leave her earrings. The next thing you know, she gonna leave her children.

[Jeffrey]

How do we make that jump?

[Marcus]

Honestly, a girl did that to me before she left her kids here.

[Jeffrey]

What?

[Brooke]

Wait, really?

[Alexis]

Yes.

[Marcus]

We did it because she wanted to come back the next day to see me.

[Brooke]

Not to see her children, to see Marcus.

[Jeffrey]

I know. I actually think That's a pretty genius move.

[Alexis]

Little brother answers the phone, there's no children here.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

All right, well, Marcus, you've clearly got a little bit of PSD from your past experiences with women.

[Jeffrey]

So do those children.

[Brooke]

It sounds like Sasha did not do this on purpose. And you yourself said that you would have gone out with her had it not been for the. The text and the showing up to the apartment craziness. So what we would like to do before we start exchanging addresses is offer to send you guys out on a date that we would pay for, and then you can bring the earrings and give them back to her in person.

[Jeffrey]

And we're paying for it.

[Brooke]

Clean slate. No Dino outfits or heavy drinking.

[Jeffrey]

I think is a good idea for you too.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Sasha]

Absolutely not.

[Marcus]

Would it be a chaperone?

[Jeffrey]

Okay, I think. I think she said no.

[Brooke]

Yeah, well, your little brother can come along, if that's what you're asking.

[Sasha]

I don't want a second date with him. I'm sorry.

[Brooke]

Oh, you're over it now? Really?

[Sasha]

Yeah, I'm good. I just want my earrings.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Alexis]

Will you please give her her earrings, bro?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I think you're gonna have to show up to his house and get him.

[Marcus]

She can have little raggedy earrings. She can have them. They're not even real diamonds, I bet you.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, come on. That was below the belt, Marcus.

[Brooke]

Okay, we will pay to have them diamond tested for validity, and then we'll send them back over to Sasha's place.

[Marcus]

Maybe that could be our date. We all get together and we can check to see if the Dinos are real.

[Brooke]

Kind of romantic.

[Sasha]

I won't even waste my time with that, you guys. You know what? If you get the earrings, you can send it to me directly, because I don't want to see Dino bro anymore. Okay.

[Brooke]

Okay. Well, no love connection, but at least. Sounds like we recovered the jewelry that she wanted.

[Jeffrey]

We're almost like a pawn shop at this point. Yeah. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Sarah Spain]

Hey, all you women's hoops fans and folks who just don't know yet that they're women's hoops fans, we've got a big week over at Good, Good Game with Sarah Spain as we near the end of one of the most exciting women's college basketball seasons ever.

[Jen Swan]

Imagine you're scrolling through TikTok. You come across a video of a teenage girl and then a photo of the person suspected of killing her.

[Jeffrey]

It was shocking. It was very shocking. Like, that could have been my daughter. Like, you never know.

[Jen Swan]

I'm Jen Swan. I'm the host of a new podcast called My Friend Daisy. It's the story of how and why a group of teenagers turned to social media to help track down their friend's killer. Listen to my friend daisy on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Ed Helms]

My husband cheated on me with two women. He wants to stay together because he has cancer. Should I stay?

[Brooke]

Sam, that has to be the craziest story in okay, Storytime podcast history.

[Ed Helms]

Well, John, that's because it's D of week and this user writes, last week we had an attempted break in. I asked my husband, who was supposed to be at his mom's, to come over and change the locks, but his mom told me he wasn't with her. And it took me less than an hour to find the first two women he was cheating on me. Did you leave him? Well, to find out how this story ends, follow the okay, Story Time podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

[Jeffrey]

In 2020, a group of young women found themselves in an AI fueled nightmare. Someone was posting photos. It was just me naked. Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts. This is Levittown, a new podcast from iHeart podcasts Bloomberg and Kaleidoscope about the rise of deepfake pornography and the battle to stop it. Listen to Levittown on Bloomberg's Big Take podcast. Find it on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up? I'm Laura, host of the podcast Courtside with Laura Carrenti, a masterclass case study of the business of women's sports. I'll be chatting with leaders like tennis icon Alana Klopp. I don't do what I do only for women. I do it for everyone. And I want the whole market and innovators like Jenny win. I would say 50% of the people that come visit the sports bra aren't sports fans. They come to be in community.

[Brooke]

They come to be part of this culture.
