Welcome this morning to second date update.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
We've got Skyler on the phone, who had kind of
a chaotic and interesting, overwhelming date with Nico.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Skyler.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
What's up, Hi, Good morning. So, I mean it was
like a super nice date. It was like impressive and
Niko was like pretty smooth and everything, but it just
kind of like got real dramatic, real fast.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
So dramatic real fast, Like how yeah, well, okay, So
one of the smooth things he did is he was
like handling the with a valet and he did this
like really cool thing with his keys.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
I don't know how to explain it, and even though
there's like a large crowd and like he handed it
to like the valet. But and then the date was
really nice, but then it kind of got like real
stressful because apparently it was not actually the valet and
they had like no record of his car and it
(00:54):
was given to a stranger and like Nico had to
end up like filing a police report first car.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
So he just handed his keys to some random person
and like smooth, Well wait.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
Yeah, but did the did the random person look like
they really worked for the valet?
Speaker 4 (01:10):
I think so?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I mean, but it was just like so much drama,
and I just felt so bad for him, but like
I didn't want to get involved, you know, And it
was just it was traumatic to say the least.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
Well, it doesn't sound like his fault, though, I would
if somebody came up to me claiming to be valet
at a restaurant, I would nine times out of ten
hand in my keys and be like, yeah, here, thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yeah you would assume, especially in Houston there's so much
valet everywhere.
Speaker 6 (01:32):
Yeah, I was asked, did anything go wrong? But it
sounds like we know what went wrong, But how's that
your fault?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Well, I mean it wasn't like anyone's fault, I guess,
but it.
Speaker 7 (01:40):
Was just like I just meant, like, why is he
not calling you back? That's weird.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
That's like Reilly felt bad for him, and like I
felt like, I don't know, it was just like such
a like drama filled the evening and I just embarrassed.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Yeah, yeah, everything, Well, we're going to get him on
the phone and find out what happened. That's all right
with you, okay, Okay, so you just stay stay on
the phone.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
We'll keep you on the.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Background, keeping mute and everything until it's time we'll get
Nico on the phone.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Next second date update.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Nico and Skyler had a pretty good first date all
the way up until the very end of the date.
That's because Nico evidently gave his keys to somebody who
was not actually the valet, and then his car went missing.
Sounds pretty chaotic. Nico has not called Skyler back since,
so we're gonna get him on the line and see
if he was just too embarrassed after everything.
Speaker 6 (02:25):
Hello, Hio please, yes, hi Nico.
Speaker 7 (02:30):
My name's Eric.
Speaker 6 (02:30):
I'm here with Riggs and Caitlin. We do a morning
show on I three Q.
Speaker 7 (02:33):
How are you? What's up?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Dude?
Speaker 8 (02:35):
Hey, hey, guys, have you listened to.
Speaker 7 (02:38):
Our show before? Do you know why we're calling you? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (02:40):
I think it's just a second date update thing.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Yeah, there you go, smart, and you sound very scared.
Speaker 8 (02:46):
Nico, No, no, uncle, It's just it's cool.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
That happened when you went out with Skyler.
Speaker 8 (02:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (02:54):
Well, I mean we know you had your car stolen.
There's that.
Speaker 8 (02:57):
Yeah, well, okay, so the thing is that the car
actually wasn't stolen. See the valet. I was planning this
whole thing. At the valet was my younger brother, my
younger brother, Jordan, and I had this whole thing planned.
It was like supposed to be a big, like romantic surprise.
(03:17):
Jordan was supposed to take the car filled up with
a whole bunch of flowers and stuff and then bring
it around back at the end of the night. So
the only way I could do that I couldn't paint
one of the valet guys to do that. So I
devise this whole plan. You know, I show up, I
hop and I throw my keys up in the air,
he says, and he catches them, and when he comes back,
he's supposed to fill the car full of flowers stuff
when the date was over. So I had a helping plan.
(03:40):
And then I text Jordan, like twenty minutes before.
Speaker 7 (03:42):
We're leaving, Jordan's your brother.
Speaker 8 (03:44):
Yeah, yeah, Jordan's my brother. He's not answering the call.
He's not answering the call at all. So we get
to the valet and he's just not picking up and
I'm like, I don't know where he is. And then
the real valets had no idea what's going on, and
that's why everybody thought my car was stolen. I kind
of had to pretend to file the police support for
my missing brother and and him screwing everything up. And
(04:07):
the thing is I finally got a call. I finally
got a hold of him later and he parked a
car on a on a street like two blocks away
that was really quiet, and he tilted the seaback he
fell asleep. So he just fell asleep with a car
full of flowers. And yeah, yeah, it's uh.
Speaker 7 (04:25):
I mean, you know Skylar's there. If you knew this
was second date update, that's that's Skyler.
Speaker 8 (04:30):
I mean, hi, Scale, I'm sorry. I was trying to
do something. I was trying to do something fun and
uh and and cool.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
So the end of the day, it is just you
on your phone chaotically trying to file who were you
on the phone with? Filing a fake police report, just
pretending you're on the phone with somebody.
Speaker 8 (04:47):
Yeah, I call my dad's house. He never picked up.
So it's all it's all like on his on his
personal Why wouldn't.
Speaker 7 (04:52):
You just have admitted what was happening.
Speaker 8 (04:56):
Because there's I didn't want to. I don't want I
don't want to look like an idiot. And I mean
the whole thing was the plan was gonna be perfect.
It was gonna work out.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
Really, you realize you went from like an idiot to
one person to now like one point two million people.
Speaker 8 (05:14):
Oh my god, I didn't plan this. I didn't plan
plan there. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (05:18):
Okay, well, Skylar's here on the line. Is there anything
you want to say to her or?
Speaker 5 (05:24):
I mean, she obviously knows now that you were trying
to do something really nice and you were probably embarrassed
by it.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
Can we not save anything here?
Speaker 8 (05:31):
I mean, I would love to go out again, and
I wouldn't do this next time because this was really stupid.
And I don't know. I mean, I would love to
take you out again normal, and I wouldn't do anything stupid.
I would just it would just be me and I
would leave Jordan out of it completely.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I think it was really sweet and everything, but I
feel like you just might be too much. Even though
the gesture was like sweet, it was just maybe too
much for a first date.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
That the thought is sweet, it's a lying that's strange.
Speaker 8 (06:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
Wait, hold on, I have questions. Is it the way
he handled it, Skyler that you feel like is too much?
Was it the act itself? I think this is probably
good for Nico to hear.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Yeah, yeah, I think that's just like a lot for
a first date, you know. Yeah, like maybe like the
once you really get.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
To know somebody, we could do a grand gesture.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
But that's just like a lot for me at least.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
Had it gone through and not been as chaotic as
it was in the aftermath, would you still have gone
out on another date with him?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Good question, Kayla, Good question.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I feel like again, like I feel like that's just
I would have been probably like whoa, this guy is
moving fast and furious and he doesn't even know, Like,
so that's how I would.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
All Right, Well, Nico, it sounds like you had the
best of intentions, but maybe just own up to the
whole thing if we're going to do something that grand
instead of lying about it. Yeah, maybe maybe dial it
back for a first date. They go, we all learned
something this morning, didn't we need go?
Speaker 8 (06:56):
I guess so not so not to go too fast period.
I get a love of those movies, but I get it.
I get it. Yeah or live or live or live?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
There you go, there you go, There you go.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
