[0:00] Speaker 1: It's Star 101.3. It is Marcus in the morning. You
[0:03] Speaker 1: know what we're doing. It's a second date update. If
[0:05] Speaker 1: you get ghosted on after our first date, you hit
[0:08] Speaker 1: me up and then we will call your date together
[0:10] Speaker 1: and see what's what. So, Bryce, I'm assuming that's why
[0:13] Speaker 1: you're here. Good morning. How are you?
[0:15] Speaker 2: Good morning. I'm good.
[0:17] Speaker 3: And thanks for taking my call. I love your show.
[0:19] Speaker 1: Of course. I appreciate you, man. Thank you for listening
[0:21] Speaker 1: every morning. Let's talk about your date with Melody. So
[0:27] Speaker 1: tell me about what you guys did.
[0:29] Speaker 2: It was amazing, I thought.
[0:30] Speaker 3: We had a great time downtown San Mateo. We met
[0:33] Speaker 3: at a restaurant on B Street, and honestly, I thought
[0:36] Speaker 3: it couldn't have gone much better. I was nervous because
[0:40] Speaker 3: my friend had introduced Melody and I, and we'd been
[0:44] Speaker 3: texting for a couple weeks, and we finally got our
[0:45] Speaker 3: schedules lined up. I don't know. We had a great dinner,
[0:49] Speaker 3: had a bottle of wine, spent the night mostly laughing.
[0:52] Speaker 3: And she even suggested that we hang out longer and
[0:54] Speaker 3: take a walk, you know. And then instead of calling
[0:56] Speaker 3: it a night, we wandered around downtown for like another
[0:59] Speaker 3: half hour.
[1:00] Speaker 2: We talked about everything.
[1:01] Speaker 3: It was great. And then, you know, we hugged goodbye
[1:05] Speaker 3: and she said she had a nice time. And then
[1:07] Speaker 3: when I texted her. the next day to check out
[1:10] Speaker 3: a place in Burlingame, she mentioned.
[1:12] Speaker 4: Yeah.
[1:12] Speaker 2: Nothing.
[1:13] Speaker 3: I'm just confused because she was the one who suggested
[1:15] Speaker 3: extending the date.
[1:16] Speaker 2: Sure. So I thought she was cool. We were vibing.
[1:19] Speaker 1: And she's gone since then? Oh, she hasn't responded to
[1:22] Speaker 1: anything you said?
[1:23] Speaker 2: Nothing. Okay.
[1:25] Speaker 1: Why don't you go ahead and mute your phone, and
[1:26] Speaker 1: we'll give her a call and see what's going on, okay?
[1:29] Speaker 2: Cool. Thank you.
[1:29] Speaker 1: Here we go.
[1:30] Speaker 4: This is Melody.
[1:39] Speaker 1: Melody, it's Marcus calling from Star 101.3. How are you?
[1:43] Speaker 2: I'm okay.
[1:45] Speaker 4: How are you doing?
[1:45] Speaker 1: I'm doing all right. Good morning. Hey, do you listen
[1:50] Speaker 1: to the show?
[1:52] Speaker 4: I don't. I'm sorry.
[1:54] Speaker 1: That's okay. I wonder if you have a second to
[1:57] Speaker 1: be on with us. We do a segment called Second
[2:00] Speaker 1: Date Update, and I got a DM from a guy
[2:02] Speaker 1: who says he took you out on a date, and
[2:04] Speaker 1: he's feeling like maybe you're ghosting. I'm just trying to
[2:06] Speaker 1: figure out if it's because you're not interested or if
[2:09] Speaker 1: he did something dumb or what happened. Do you have
[2:12] Speaker 1: a second to talk on the air about your date
[2:14] Speaker 1: with Bryce?
[2:16] Speaker 4: Oh, my God, Bryce.
[2:17] Speaker 1: So you did ghost?
[2:19] Speaker 4: Yes.
[2:19] Speaker 1: Okay. All right. I just wanted to get out of
[2:21] Speaker 1: the way. So what happened?
[2:27] Speaker 4: So the dinner was fine. The dinner was actually wonderful.
[2:31] Speaker 4: He seemed really charming and stuff at first, and I...
[2:35] Speaker 4: I was attracted to him, but it was what happened
[2:37] Speaker 4: after dinner that was the problem.
[2:39] Speaker 1: Do you mind sharing?
[2:42] Speaker 4: No. So what happened was we were walking around, and
[2:46] Speaker 4: we saw this cute ice cream shop, and that sounded good.
[2:50] Speaker 4: So we went inside, and the employee behind the counter
[2:54] Speaker 4: asked if we wanted some samples. And so Bryce tried
[2:58] Speaker 4: a flavor, and then another flavor, and then another flavor,
[3:02] Speaker 4: and he was like... kept taking samples and I could
[3:06] Speaker 4: feel like the employee was starting to get annoyed. And
[3:08] Speaker 4: so he was like, did you want to order something?
[3:11] Speaker 4: And Bryce was like, I'm still deciding. And so I
[3:14] Speaker 4: thought he was just like having a hard time choosing.
[3:17] Speaker 4: And then he keeps getting more and more flavors. And
[3:22] Speaker 4: then he finally like announces his favorite flavor and the
[3:25] Speaker 4: employee is like, don't leave. You could tell. And he's like,
[3:29] Speaker 4: cup or cone. And then Bryce was like, No, I'm good.
[3:33] Speaker 4: And just walked out and didn't order anything. Like he
[3:37] Speaker 4: made this guy scoop so many samples and then he
[3:40] Speaker 4: didn't buy anything.
[3:42] Speaker 1: All right here.
[3:43] Speaker 2: Okay.
[3:43] Speaker 1: Here's the other part of this is that Bryce is actually,
[3:45] Speaker 1: he's actually listening right now. And now.
[3:49] Speaker 2: Bryce, are you there?
[3:50] Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm here.
[3:52] Speaker 2: Hi, Melody.
[3:54] Speaker 3: Bro.
[3:55] Speaker 1: I have to roll you a little bit, bro.
[3:58] Speaker 2: What? They're free samples. I don't understand.
[4:02] Speaker 3: That's why they offer free samples. You tried, like, ten flavors.
[4:06] Speaker 4: You tried so many flavors, though.
[4:08] Speaker 3: Well, like, there wasn't a sign limiting how many samples
[4:12] Speaker 3: you could take. I don't understand.
[4:14] Speaker 4: Normal, like, decent people don't need there to be a sign.
[4:17] Speaker 2: I'm not doing anything wrong.
[4:19] Speaker 3: I was full from dinner, and I didn't want any
[4:21] Speaker 3: more ice cream.
[4:22] Speaker 4: That's not what you said outside the shop, though.
[4:24] Speaker 2: What are you talking about?
[4:26] Speaker 4: Like, as soon as we walked out of the ice
[4:29] Speaker 4: cream shop, you turned to me, and you were like, See,
[4:31] Speaker 4: that's how you get free dessert.
[4:34] Speaker 1: Okay.
[4:35] Speaker 2: I was joking. That's ridiculous.
[4:37] Speaker 3: Were you, though?
[4:37] Speaker 2: I wasn't serious.
[4:39] Speaker 4: No, you weren't.
[4:39] Speaker 2: Uh-huh.
[4:41] Speaker 4: No, he was so proud of himself.
[4:45] Speaker 3: I just spent $ 140 on dinner.
[4:46] Speaker 2: I didn't feel like spending another $ 10 on ice cream.
[4:49] Speaker 4: Then don't go into the ice cream shop.
[4:51] Speaker 3: You were the one who wanted to go into the
[4:53] Speaker 3: ice cream in the first place.
[4:54] Speaker 4: Yeah, I was going to buy ice cream.
[4:57] Speaker 3: Look, I treated you to a really nice dinner.
[4:59] Speaker 2: We had a great time.
[5:01] Speaker 3: And now you're judging me over a few tiny spoonfuls
[5:03] Speaker 3: of ice cream.
[5:04] Speaker 2: Why is this such a big deal?
[5:05] Speaker 4: It's not about the money. It was so rude. Like,
[5:09] Speaker 4: I'm just like watching a grown man. deliberately take advantage
[5:14] Speaker 4: of his employee just so he can feel like he
[5:16] Speaker 4: got something for free.
[5:17] Speaker 3: Take advantage?
[5:18] Speaker 2: You're making it sound like I robbed the place. That's ridiculous.
[5:21] Speaker 4: You bragged about getting away with it.
[5:24] Speaker 3: Oh, my God, Melody.
[5:25] Speaker 2: Look, I'm sorry. Please, I would really love to take
[5:28] Speaker 2: you out again. Don't judge me on my ice cream habits.
[5:31] Speaker 3: I will never do that again.
[5:32] Speaker 1: Melody, this is 100% up to you. Are we doing
[5:35] Speaker 1: this again?
[5:36] Speaker 4: No. Like, I liked him at dinner, but... I don't
[5:39] Speaker 4: want to spend another evening wondering what else he's going
[5:42] Speaker 4: to do to try and save five bucks.
[5:45] Speaker 2: Sure.
[5:45] Speaker 3: So I'm getting dumped over soft serve. Is that what's happening?
[5:49] Speaker 4: You didn't even buy any.
[5:51] Speaker 2: All right.
[5:51] Speaker 1: Hang on, you guys. This ain't going anywhere.
[5:53] Speaker 2: All right.
[5:54] Speaker 1: Second date update.
