Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This morning. We're very happy to have Kelly join us
for second Date Update, even though she's probably not thrilled
to have to do this segment.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Kelly, good morning, Good morning, Hey guys, thanks for having
me on.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
You're welcome course, of course, so I'm.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Hoping that you can help solve a little mystery for me.
I went on a date with this guy named Percy,
and I thought he was handsome and funny, ambitious. He
is a total catch. But then he just like fell
off the face.

Speaker 4 (00:25):
Of the earth.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Ah, the one that got away. So tell us how
did you meet Percy?

Speaker 2 (00:30):
By the way, First of all, we met on your
hinge at the dating app, and his profile was really oppressive.
He like you know, he was in finance, He had
great photos. He seemed like he was really put together,
and so we decided to beat for dinner.

Speaker 5 (00:44):
So how was he during the date.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
He was great, he was amazing. We went to there.
I don't know if you guys know that place, but
it's in the heights. We had to wait a while
and so it gave us some time to talk and
we just had a great conversation and he told me
about his career goals. He has investments, and he seemed
really driven and like really successful.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Okay, so sounds like you like the finance bros. And
it went off, Well, what happened at the end of
the day.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
So this is where it gets a little weird. So
he asked me if he could get a ride home,
which I was just like, uh, I mean okay, Like
I was like thinking maybe he didn't have a car
or something, or like his car was in the shop
or like I'm not sure what you know, but I
was just didn't want to judge. And so he gave
me his address and Garden Oaks, and we pulled up
and the house was big. It was beautiful, big brick house,

(01:30):
and it was really impressive.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Okay, so his car wasn't working, still has a house,
I guess, not bad, right, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
And so that's what I was thinking. But then when
he got out of the car, instead of walking up
Savain Walkway to the beautiful front door, he walked across
the grass to this little side door and there was
a slide of stairs going down and he went downstairs,
like into the basement basement in Houston. Yeah, like it
hit me there. I was just like, Okay, this successful
ambitious guy probably is living in his parents' basement, and

(01:59):
the whole persona with just a facade, And so I
felt kind of deceived and it was just a major
turn off for me, and I ghosted him and I'm
not you know, I'm not looking for a project.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Well that's that kind of a twist. Usually we have
the ghosted person on first, but this is kind of
an interesting twist. Are you Are you willing to talk
to him and we can get him on the line.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yeah, yeah, maybe, you know, maybe he'll answer you. Guys,
I'm just he's not answering my calls. I just want
to bust him out and just like let M know that, Hey,
I know what's going on.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Maybe it was like a bunker type situation. Maybe he's
a prepper or something.

Speaker 5 (02:31):
Oh yeah, I just want to know who dug that hole.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Yeah, all right, we're going to give him a call.
Next on Second Date Update.

Speaker 5 (02:38):
Today, on Second Date Update, we're back with Kelly, who
ghosted her date Percy after a great dinner and you're like, wait,
why because when she dropped him off at his beautiful house,
he walked around as appeared into a basement. Yeah, that's
a basement. In Houston. So she's like, he lives with
his parents. I know he does? Does he will find
out now coming up on second date update.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Hello, Hi man, please be with Percy.

Speaker 4 (03:02):
Hi.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
This is he Hi Percy.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Welcome to the Q Morning Show with Riggs, Caitlin and Erica.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
How did your own so, dude, how are you?

Speaker 4 (03:08):
Hey? I'm doing great, guys, how are you good?

Speaker 3 (03:12):
We were talking to your friend Kelly. Do you remember Kelly?

Speaker 4 (03:14):
Yeah? Yeah, I remember Kelly. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Well, she laid a bunch of stuff out for us
about your date. She thinks, uh, you're a grown man
living in your parents' basements. To be frank, just to
be frank, this is this what's going on here? Because
you said your living situation? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Is that?

Speaker 4 (03:31):
What is about the basement?

Speaker 5 (03:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (03:34):
Yeah, Oh I do not live with my parents. I
own my own house, Mike. I bought the place three
months ago. It's a duplex. I'm renovating the entire upstairs
until I rented out for income while I do the work.
I'm living in the finishing of the abasement downstairs to
save money. It's called house hacking. It's an investment strategy.

Speaker 5 (03:54):
Oh wow, Oh, you're not a basement dweller. Okay, you're, like,
I guess, a savvy real estate investor instead.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
Exactly, I was going to tell you about it eventually,
but so let's explained our first date. I can't believe it, Thatt, Wow,
so that's why you wrote me off completely, Percy.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Oh my god, I'm so embarrassed. I feel like the
most judgmental person on the planet, savvy investor. I actually
find that very attractive. I completely misread everything.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
I mean, I think this whole thing's been weird from
start to finish because Kelly, you were the one that
originally ghosted. Then you called us just to basically try
and let Percy know, Hey, I know what's going on.
In fact, you do not know what's going on, and
now you're interested in a second date. Does that clear
it up?

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah? Absolutely, Percy. I would love to make it up
to you. I'd love to see the renovation too. I mean,
I could even help you with it.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
No. I appreciate the offer, Kelly, I really do, but
I don't think so what why you judged me in
a split second based off of nothing but an assumption
You decided I was a project and ghostit me to
be honest, help me everything I need to know. I
think I'm looking for someone a little less judgmental. But hey,
I'm good luck out there.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
He gone, he hung up. Now, I guess it kind
of has a point. You didn't kind of jump the
conclusions there pretty quick.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Yeah, you know, I feel terrible about it. I just
need to at least send him an apology gifts basket
or something.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
What basket?

Speaker 5 (05:20):
No, I don't think I think you should probably leave
it alone.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
You're on your own with that.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Some renovation supplies

Speaker 5 (05:26):
With a paintbrush, right,
