It's Marcus in the morning, and we are about to kick off second data update. Welcome back. Lucas is on the phone. Lucas, good morning.

Hey, Marcus. How are you?

I'm good, dude. How are you, despite the ghosting?

Bro, I can't figure it out, man. Like, I don't know why Marin just vanished. I mean, I thought it was a great first day.

Sure. It's rough out in these streets, man. That's what I hear.

Dude, it's getting harder every year.

I'm telling you. All right, well, let's talk about the day. Let's run through it. You know the deal. So, like, what did you guys do? Just recount the evening in your head one more time for me out loud.

Sure. So we met at Penny Roma in San Francisco, and, you know, it's a place, like, where the pasta's handmade, the tables are packed. Sure. And it's great. I love it. Maren showed up. She looked beautiful. She was funny. She just had that calm confidence, you know, where there just wasn't this awkward silence, or she had to fill every silence that happened, you know? Sure.

What did you guys, what did you eat? And speak slowly. I'm just kidding.

yeah i do love that restaurant it's amazing we had a couple of pastas we had the roasted veggies the food was great and the drinks were great we talked for a couple hours we had some funny conversations about weird jobs we've had in the past so it's a good night um overall yeah yeah

okay yeah was there a kiss at the end or anything or what happened i wish um i just went for a good

night and i texted her the next day and that's where there was no response and then nothing

after that okay well you know the deal we're going to call her we're going to see what's up we will have you on the line so just a reminder to mute your phone so she can't hear you like

okay yeah i'll try not to breathe heavy and i'll mute okay good all right here we go

hello hi is this maryn

uh this is she may i ask who's calling maryn it's marcus calling from star one one three good morning to you um hi i sorry i i don't i think you might have the wrong number i didn't

sign up for anything i don't know i get it um do you ever listen to the show in the morning

well yeah of course okay but i didn't i didn't sign up to be called we're doing second date update right now oh hi do you know what that is i'm on second date update yes you are second date

update the featured star if you will from who though have you been on a date recently oh my

god wait i actually is it lucas it is so like you really want to do this on the radio lucas i listen to this show and he knows i do because i talked about it okay so we're we're here

everybody we're adults so maren did you ghost i guess that's the first question and if so

can you tell us why lucas is taking notes i mean i guess i did technically ghost okay and it wasn't it wasn't like the date like the date was it started out great i just want to point that out but like it took a turn like halfway through dinner okay um what happened Did he tell you about his side hustle?

No. He left that part out.

Okay. Which, by the way, totally fine. Like, side hustle.

Right.

Totally. But he runs, like, an online service where people...

pay him to write their breakup texts. So, and he like proudly talks about it. Like, and it took over the conversation. Uh-huh. And like he said how he has different tiers that he charges, like depending on how complicated the relationship is. And he was basically just bragging about how good he is at ending other people's relationships for money. And I was just really taken aback

by that. I mean, okay. I get the emotional aspect of it. That is slightly creative, though.

Can we get how I think it's not creative, but it's like I just don't like it.

Sure. Okay. Lucas, to you.

There has to be something else. I mean, I get that maybe you don't like my job, but, like, what's the deal? I mean, at least we could talk about it, you know?

Was that the only thing, Mary?

Yeah, I mean, no. So, the moment I actually just, like, decided I didn't want a second date, because I could, like, overlook that, even though it was weird, but, like, at the end of the dinner, the server came up and asked, you know, how everything was. And Lucas actually said to the server, like, completely serious, he goes, I run a Yelp account with a lot of influence, and restaurants usually take care of me once they know that. come on lucas and the server froze like he literally like froze and then just like nodded and walked away and i was just like the second he said that i just knew i could never date someone who tries to like leverage yelp like as a power move i don't know it felt like if he didn't have the yelp account like would we be going out to dinner or not did you do the old do you know who

i am is that what i'm hearing yes i was just joking like people take it seriously were you though come on come on like if it had worked would you be joking well it would be cool so i

would take it but i mean whether it was a joke or not truthfully it did just give me the ick like i just come on okay i just didn't like it like i think you're a cool guy but i really like truly i just i wasn't um i really wasn't into it all right and well i wish you the best but like i

don't rule number one you never never pull the do you know who i am move that's a um yeah and then Okay, I feel like we've got a little self-awareness here, Maren. Lucas, be better. Yeah. Oh, boy. Can he keep the side hustle? If he doesn't do the Yelp thing, could we get a second date, Maren?

Like, I think you're just being a little too quick to judge. I mean, this was one date. And don't tell me you've never had side hustles before.

I hear where you're coming from. I really do. I just don't think that you get it. I don't think you get me. So I'm out, honestly. I'm just like, I'm done.

All right. Hang on, you two. Hang on. Second date update.
