Tony called us about Mariah after their pizza date in Oakland. He said she was next-level gorgeous, sharp, funny, and told this story about her grandmother making tamales that “made him see the whole future.” They bonded over concerts (both of them love live music) swapped favorite Bay Area hangouts, and even agreed that the only people still eating gas station nachos at midnight are heroes.

saw her drop that gorgeous We sat down, started talking, sharp, witty, funny.
Everything started, you know, clicking, and you know, she told
this story about her grandma, Miking Tamales, and you know,
I that moment, it's it's like the future was.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Being drawn and you know, a pain wife in it.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Yeah, man, Like it's it's that connection, is that fee,
that essence? And we both love live music, and you know,
we agreed on on on a lot of things. I
thought I was locked in. I thought it was second date, easy,
let's go.

Nowhere you know. I sent a few text messages. Yeah,
I even sent a nice call and left a voicemail
just to you know, check the vibe.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
But nothing, And you don't want to be weird about it,
So let me be weird about it. Let's let's do
this together. We're doing second date update right now. I've
been chatting with my guy Tony. He and Mariah went
on a date in Oakland. I love the line about
you saying that you could see your whole future together,
Tony because of her talking about her ubuella cooking in
(01:48):
the kitchen, cooking to my list. Now, I'm hoping you
didn't scare her off like you didn't go all stand
on me, did you. You didn't get all weird about it,
did you not?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
In my opinion, man, I'm telling you, I was a
true gentleman all night and I didn't even say that
part of the whole painting of the future. I just
connected and that's how I sure.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Well, let's call her.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I'm going to figure out if she goes in and why,
and see how the date went from her perspective. Go
ahead and meet your phone. Okay, all right, we'll do
here we go. Hello, Hi, may I speak to Mariah?
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Please?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Hi?
Speaker 4 (02:25):
This is Maria.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Hey Mariah, It's Marcus from Star one on one three
from the Morning Show.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
How are you hi? Do you listen?
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Oh yeah, I listen every morning.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I am going to roll this. This is great. Okay,
so we're doing second date update right now.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
I know, Second date update, So Tony is probably on
the line, right Hi, Tony, Hey Tony.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Oh Ti'm Mariah.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
All right, so I'll just ask did you ghost? Because
my guy enjoyed your date. He'd like to take you
out again.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Okay, well that's good to hear that he would like
to take me out again.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
But how was the date for you?
Speaker 4 (03:15):
The first half of the date was like genuinely fun. Great,
but halfway through my second slice of pizza, Tony just,
you know, casually dropped. Yeah. So I'm kind of on
a break with my girlfriend on what now?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
He's on a break a break.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
And he said it so smoothly that I thought I
mishard him. It just like just dropped out and but no,
ped double down. He said, don't worry. She knows I'm
out tonight, which did not make it better. It made
it so much worse.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
So he got a hall pass or what, well, hold
on key, I'm sorry? Is that it is that? Because
that'll go no, no, no, no.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
That's not everything because he did he talk to you
about the phone situation. Probably not. No. He insisted on
keeping his phone face up on the table the entire
time because, in his words, he wanted to show me
that he's not a sneaky guy. Okay, but his phone
was lighting up all night text from his girlfriend, and
this call from his girlfriend, a voicemail from his girlfriend,
(04:13):
and then at some point a calendar alert titled a
kid you not Couples Counseling Thursday. Yes, so I didn't
really need to be a private detective to figure out.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
What you're going on?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Okay, Tony, what what's actually going on? Because none of
this was discussed earlier? So what's really happening?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
It's it's a little out of context, I'm going to say,
because I you know, look, a break is a thing.
A break is practically the same as being single. It's
like being half single.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
It's it's dating, you know, dating with training wheels, dating,
you know what assists and and that's that's my take
on on the habit of your girlfriend.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Are you guys stilled together just on a break? That's
a that is it's on a break.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
We we're not together, but you know we're not broken out,
but it's it's a break, you know. That's that's that was
my intention of telling this Tomorraya, because I'm an honice guy.
This transparency is attractive, right, I would be honest?
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Strange, is it really like today's Are you really gonna
label you know, relationships like this and nowadays it's called integrity.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
You're welcome, you know, I'm trying this. This is the yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Tony, you literally you literally have couples counseling coming up,
like how are you keeping eyes on the price if
you're outdating other women whilst trying to apparently get back
with your lady?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Like I'm confuse.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
So okay, that was already on the calendar and uh,
you know it's canceling. Feels rude about it, so you know,
I want it also to give it a chance, for
lack of a better word, And also it's prepaid. In
this day and age, healthcare is expensive, so why let's
(06:07):
do it. I think that I didn't do anything wrong
on that I was being completely above the table on everything.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Okay, Tony, if this is your honest version, then I
am terrified of the dishonest one.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I don't think I did anything wrong. I'm being honest.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Listen. I do wish you the best, and I hope
that you and your girlfriend figure out whatever you're doing.
But I would prefer to not be part of this
unintentional love triangle again.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
So second date?
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Yeah, absolutely not sure.
