They met at a mall for tacos — what could go wrong? Nate says the date was “over before it started,” but Emily might have a different take. No second date, but plenty to talk about.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's Marcus.

Speaker 2 (00:00):

getting people together after our first date. Let's say you
went on the date and you whoever you went on
the date with ghosted.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
We called them to try to figure it out.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
The ultimate goal is to get you a second date,
hoping it's a misunderstanding. But at the very least I
want to get answers. So let's bring on Nate.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
Nate, are you.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
There, I'm here.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Good morning, dude, Good morning.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Let's let's let's talk about Emily. I want to hear
about your date and then like what you guys decided
to do. So let's start there, because I understand she's ghosted.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
He definitely ghosted me in a way that's never been
done before. Really, it was basically technically over before it started.
And I say that because all right, So the date is,
we agreed to meet for lunch at tanf Am. Okay, Yes,
meeting in them all for a first date could be
considered strange, and I get that, but she loves Zakaria

(00:58):
there and meeting in them all felt kind of nostalgic
for both of us.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Nineties when we would all just hang and do it.
We just hang out and wait for our friends.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
Vie for sure.

Speaker 4 (01:10):
Sure we both took bart.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
We realized, you know, we both love public transportation and
you know, trying to do the right thing for the planet.
I saw her coming down the stairs. I was there, waving, smiling,
doing my thing, and she looked right at me, shook
her head and said nope, and then she walked away
and I just stood there, stocked and in disbelief. I

(01:36):
had some flowers to give her. I was really going
for it, but she completely ignored me out of nowhere,
and I don't know what happened, Like she didn't even
talk to me, she saw me, turned around and left.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
Oh so we're not getting a second date because there
never was a first date. Yeah, probably, but we need some.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
I don't even know what they call it closure. Some answers,
Oh this hurts a little bit. All right, Well, I'll
tell you what if you if you're down for it,
if you really want to hear the truth, I'll call.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Her for you.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
No, I do, I do I watch some closure. I
want to know. Did I say I always? I didn't
say anything, but because she let me there. But like
was it something I was wearing that turned off? Or
did she get an emergency call?

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Okay, I don't well, let's figure it out. Hang on
the line, can you We'll play a song. Well, we'll
give her a call.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
Yeah, no, that sounds good.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Sure it is, Marcus. We're doing second date update. We
have been chatting with Nate his day with Emily that
never actually happened. Let me explain. So, Nate, so you
guys were going to meet at tan Ferrand. She likes
that taketia there in the food court. It is pretty delicious.
I can't remember the name of it. But you both
took Bart and so you were waiting for her at
the Bart station. She's coming down the stairs and then

(02:47):
she sees you and she says, what now.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
She goes nope, and then turns around and walks away.
And I had a bouquet of flowers for her, So
you got to imagine me standing there all right, looking nice,
I think, and with flowers, and then nope, she just
walks away.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
So we're going to call her to try to figure
out what in the world that was about. It might
be a little savage, so you can handle it.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Yeah, no, I'm ready for it.

Speaker 4 (03:11):
Okay, you know, let's call her.

Speaker 5 (03:23):
Hello.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Hi, can I speak to Emily please?

Speaker 5 (03:27):
This is Emily.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Hi, Emily, this is Marcus. I'm calling from Star one
one three. It's a radio station and I do a
morning Star.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
Hi.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Hi, I know your show fantastic.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Thank you in advance for listening. So we're doing Second
Date Update right now, and I want to ask you
about a date you almost went on. Are you familiar
with Second Date Update?

Speaker 4 (03:49):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (03:49):
Yeah, I am perfect.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
So Nate is holding you know the drill?

Speaker 4 (03:55):
Nate? Are you there?

Speaker 3 (03:57):
Yeah, I'm here, Hey, Emily.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Right, Okay, I understand that you guys didn't quite go
on a first date. He said that you left rather
abruptly when you saw him and my guy, and I
just want to know, like, what was there something wrong
with the way he looked or.

Speaker 5 (04:18):
Yeah, I guess. I don't want to sound harsh, but
I feel like I know what I want and Nate
was like, I just feel like he lied to me
in multiple ways on his profile. I feel like on
his profile, like I looked back and like every single

(04:38):
one of his photos he had a hat on, and
then he showed up to the date having no hair,
like totally bald, just like felt let us straight by that,
and then on top of it, I was like, Okay,
on his profile he said he was like five eleven.
I believe, Okay, this man was not an inch over
five to seven. And I'm just like, they have to
stop lying on their profiles. And then maybe that's harsh

(05:00):
to me, but it's better for me and for him
if I just I thought I needed to be honest
and that's gonna be more efficient for both of us.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Right, So this has happened before.

Speaker 5 (05:13):
Yeah, this has happened to me before. Okay, this happens
a lot, and I'm kind of over it. I'm a
truth teller, he's a liar. It's better for both of
us this way.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
Okay, So Nate, can I ask when you say I'm
a liar, how am I lying? I'm lying because I
you didn't see my head. You didn't ask I have
I had a hat on the photos. You didn't. That's
not my fault, right.

Speaker 5 (05:36):
I guess just in retrospect, it feels very intentional that
you put a hat on and all your photos and
then you are fully balding, like had basically no hair.
That's something that you need to show. I also feel
like you lied about your height. I just was like, Okay,
this whole thing is feeling sketchy because like this profile
is also I feel like your photos were from like
undergrad or something. You are much older than those photos.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Maybe a couple of years that they're not that old.
And that's sort of mean too. What do you mean, Like, oh,
you're like that's kind of cruel. No, I had a
few rough years, sure, haven't we.

Speaker 5 (06:10):
I think it's kind of cruel to like like the
false advertising that was involved in that. And I'm not
trying to be harsh, but again, I'm just like saving
us both time and energy, Like you could give those
flowers to someone else, go out dinner with someone else,
Like I wasn't interested.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
All Right, we're gonna I'm gonna call it. This is
not happening, so
