True Crime Vault: Shot in the Dark
Mm-hmm. He said he was asking for his roommate. I told him, obviously not, and not to ever ask me anything like that again. And he said, I know, I know. It was for my roommate. I thought it was weird.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Shot in the Dark
He basically wanted to nullify all our previous statements by saying we were under the influence and we didn't know what we were talking about.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Shot in the Dark
I said, okay. I didn't do it, but I was like, okay, sure, bro, my bad. I didn't know I was going to get you in trouble.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Shot in the Dark
We tried a little bit. We did try to coax him. Dang, is it in there? Like, let me see. It's cool. I don't see guns a lot. And he doesn't buy it? No, he doesn't. He actually was kind of weird about it.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Shot in the Dark
I told him when we got the bag, I told him we didn't see it yet, but he had a bag full of like black clothes and it was, it's supposedly in there and it was about to happen soon. I don't know when. Oh my God. This is a real gun.

True Crime Vault: Shot in the Dark
Riley, he's just freaking out. He's swearing left and right. He says, I can't go to jail. I can't go to jail.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Shot in the Dark
He basically told me that these people knocked him out, took his car, and threw him in a van.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Shot in the Dark
He sounded like he'd been crying or like he was sounding fatigued, I guess. And he basically told me that these people knocked him out, took his car and threw him in a van. And he didn't know where he was.
20/20
True Crime Vault: Shot in the Dark
We talked about it, but he said no. Just like, no, no, no cops.

Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
Holly, I can make it really easy for you. This is, like, crazy.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
I'm not going to go out with somebody who thinks I'm seriously a killer in a past life and is judging me like that. And then even says that you're threatened by your danger for your life. You're not going to risk that. That's sorry. That's too much for me.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
Do you want to... Do you want to go on a date with the notorious Noah Two-Thumbs Giovanni?
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
You guys are on to something, right? They're in a coma. You're always a 10, I guess. She didn't say no.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
My grandma got a little bit sick and like nothing huge, but she was in the hospital for a couple of days. And so I was in there with her most of the time for those few days, just visiting pretty frequently and stuff. And one of the nurses, named Holly, was taking care of my grandma, and we just kind of started hitting it off.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
The last day that my grandma was there, we were going to discharge her in the afternoon, and I just kind of gave her a cheesy line like, my granny, before she dies, said she wants to make sure that her grandson goes out on a date with you. Oh! Oh! Yeah, I got grandma in on it. You know, she gave her a little thumbs up, a little wink.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
Yeah, it did work. Actually, she like laughed and thought it was kind of corny and cheesy, like it's supposed to be, you know, and and was like, yeah, I'd love to. Let's go out.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
Yeah. I mean, I'd like to think so.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
Yeah. So you know what? I just decided to keep it real simple and easy and just go to the beach. You know, I packed a little thermos with a little cocktail in there and put our toes in the sand and just hung out and got to know each other and talk and laugh and stuff for a couple hours.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
I mean, not swimsuits, but just casual. Yeah, just, you know.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
Yeah, for sure. Like, I wasn't trying to get her in a bikini on the first date or anything. You know, I was trying to, you know, be respectful and stuff, so.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
Yeah. Yeah, I was. Oh, I was in my man thong, for sure.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
I got to give the ladies what they want.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
yeah well with what happened next i guess i'm glad i was wearing shorts and not a man thong because we noticed there was a little building right down the beach from us what do you mean a building like a boathouse or something or a lifeguard structure maybe like almost like a little community center building okay like an event space yeah there you go on event space yeah exactly so we can hear music and there was you know just a couple of balloons and it said like reception for the
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
You know, you just told me it was a wedding, right? Like a wedding reception thing going on, you know?
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
Yeah, and I kind of was like, maybe let's go to a little wedding crash. That might be kind of fun.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
We actually blended in really well because everybody else was in beach attire, too, so we just slipped right in.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
Well, so we weren't brave enough to dance, but I noticed there was a little photo booth, and I was like, hey, let's go snap a couple pictures to commemorate the fun, kind of, you know? We went to the photo booth, and a couple at a time, there would be, like, four or whatever, you know? So the first two photos were regular, and then on the third one, I decided I'd take a little bit of a chance
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
and leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
That's what I'm getting at. Hopefully we're able to figure this out, but if not, you and I can go then.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
Well, so I gave her a kiss on the cheek, and then for the fourth photo, I just go, your turn, and kind of put my cheek out. Turn my head right.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
And then she didn't kiss my cheek at all. Oh, she left you hanging?
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
Well, because I just kind of joked at the finish or whatever. I was like, you left me hanging, you know, joking or whatever. She didn't really laugh either. And then the photos fit out and I looked and she had a really weird book on her face, like for that fourth one there.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
Too much tongue? It was enough of a look where I had to like double check and make sure I wasn't moving the camera or something. Like it was just, I don't know. It seemed like maybe I offended her and made it a little weird, but I joked my way kind of out of it, kind of kept it light. And so the date ended actually okay.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
So she just goes to me completely, and I just want to know, like, what's up.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
No, no, not at all.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
I'm ready. Nope. I just hope it all works out good.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
Hi. I don't really know what to say. So really, you believe in a past life, right? Just to make sure I'm clear, because I'm kind of shocked. And that I was a criminal, like a murder in past life? Yeah.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
I mean... First of all, I don't really believe in that. I'm not knocking your belief. But second of all, even if that was true... So you're denying it.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
Yeah, I'm saying exactly that.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
Risk your life? Whoa, whoa.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
Time out. Time out.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
Like this isn't for real, is it? You're messing with me, right?
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update Classic: Whack Beach Wedding
I mean, I don't know. You're Aunt Psychic, right? Wouldn't she let you know all this stuff?
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
Go ahead, Noah. Hey. Hey, April. It's Noah. How are you?
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
Yeah, I'm sorry. It is weird. The date was weird. Everything's weird.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
Well, and listen, on that note, this is something I've been hoping to say to you. So I knew that singing was just something you love to do. And I was not trying to put pressure on you. I was trying to do the exact opposite by taking you somewhere to do something in your comfort zone and have fun.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
I'm glad, though, that I was able to hear how you felt because it helps put things in perspective for me.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
I understand, and obviously looking back on it, it wasn't the smartest thing. I was trying to do something unique, something safe.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
Amazing. Amazing.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
That was like a turn on. That was hot, yeah.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
You just did it on the fly. That's crazy impressive.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
Oh, my gosh.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
Noah, I guess you're up. April, will you please go out on another date with me and have some sushi, have some fun, and please sing as well. Please. We'll do karaoke.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
Thank you, guys. Thank you, April. And, Brooke, thank you. And I think you kind of came through for me there. I'll take it. Look at you, Brooke.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
Yeah, be careful what you wish for, right?
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
No, I'm just nervous on the air. It's weird, but no.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
I'm kidding.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
The cool thing about apps, if you do them right, you have little bios and you can get a little nuggets from there. And I was able to kind of tap into a couple of things I saw and it was fun, but she was funny. You know, she doesn't take things too seriously. I have that kind of fun perspective on life, and that's kind of how I roll. I'd like to think that's me.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
When you're using the apps right, that's how they work, right? That's awesome.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
Well, you know, it's funny. When she says something like that she loves to sing, I would think that would be a weird thing to lie about. She's a singer. Okay.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
This is a good segue, actually. Uh-oh. I just said, hey, can I take you somewhere to go sing? And she got excited. No.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
Well, yeah, karaoke would have been probably my choice. Oh, wasn't that? I chose a baseball game.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
Yes, and now in retrospect, it's regretful, but that's exactly it. Of course, she was bored out of her mind, and I just, I don't know, maybe I built it up too much or something about the singing part, and that's on me.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
Do you not go that hard with it, Brooke? You know, it's something that is fun and, you know, interactive. And quite honestly, like, the singing's there kind of as an option. But, like, if she didn't want to, she didn't have to.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
Not so much. I was just trying to keep it mysterious and, you know, cool and have a little guessing game. And, I mean, I was all in. I was, like, superstitious with the specific chairs, the socks.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
Well, here's the thing. I thought she would be playful with it and think it was cute, cool, whatever. But no, it was more eye-rollish.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
Yeah, and she was like, when are we singing?
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
She did not know that, no. That's why I thought that would be cool.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
Everyone's so happy all of a sudden.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
Here's the deal. You guys have done it. It's very contagious and you get there and yeah, yeah, yeah. And it was more just a symbolic gesture, right?
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
Yeah, I mean, I did have fun, but she didn't really have fun, which is why.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
That's a great word. I'd love a redo. And I need some help, you know, convincing her to do that. But I kind of have a rule for Brooke.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
He deserves it. I've heard you say this on the show to some of the guys. Like, don't say...
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
oh how much he loves spending time with you or he had such a great time with you like don't make me sound simpish you know simpish oh don't say that he liked you ew bro yeah why does he like just make me sound cool yeah it's a new thing girls do not like i see like he's pretty indifferent yeah yeah you play hard to get he's got so many options that's why he called a radio show yeah now we're talking you
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Don't Take Me Out To The Ballgame
That's exactly on the nose right.

Can you cure picky eating?
Ja, Dinge, die die Fischigkeit verhindern können. Oder frische Füße.
Search Engine
Can you cure picky eating?
Yeah, I think if we weren't with Manny when he ate the sandwich, I think if we were there, we probably would have forced a few more bites, which is probably against the wisdom of the doctor.
Search Engine
Can you cure picky eating?
Ja, also Schritt 1 können wir geniesslich als Erfolg nennen. Also wollten wir die Schwierigkeitsniveau ein bisschen erhöhen für Schritt 2. Wir haben uns entschieden, eine heimgeschmackte Mahlzeit zu machen.
Search Engine
Can you cure picky eating?
Ja, wir sind draußen. Ich öffne die Tür. Willkommen, bitte kommen Sie rein. Devin und ich kochen, also haben wir ein paar Zutaten und sind zu Mandys Stelle gegangen.
Search Engine
Can you cure picky eating?
Und Devin und ich haben ein paar verschiedene Fischrezepien gegoogelt, um zu überlegen. Erinnerst du dich an die Search-Terms, die wir benutzt haben? Ja, ich meine, wie Fisch für Babys, wie einfache Fischrezepien für Kinder, Dinge wie das. Das ist einfach verletzend. Ja. Aber ja, vieles war ziemlich einfach. Entweder Weißfisch oder Salmon, gebraten in Butter und mit Gerlach oder anderen Dingen.
Search Engine
Can you cure picky eating?
Fisch-Takos, Scheep-Pan-Fisch und Chips. Aber wir wollten etwas, das nicht super gebraten war. Wir wollten es ein bisschen höher steigen, damit wir sehen können, ob wir das nächste Schritt nehmen können oder ob wir noch am frischen Fisch-Stand bleiben. Und wir haben auf eine Rezeption gelandet, die ich schon mehrere Mal gemacht habe. Von den New York Times.
Search Engine
Can you cure picky eating?
Von Sam Stifton. Es ist ein sehr populärer Rezept. Es ist wirklich gut. Und es ist super einfach. Du brauchst die Rezeption nicht wirklich. Ja. Und was gut war, war, dass du die Süßheit des Sausens und wie viel es ist, einladen konntest. Ja, also es ist brauner Zucker und Dijon-Mustard. Es ist fast wie Barbecue-Sauce auf einem Chicken. Ja, also schauen wir mal.
Search Engine
Can you cure picky eating?
Das hier auf der linken Seite wird für Manni sein. Also ich werde das extra saustun. Wir haben viel mehr Glaze gebraucht, als ich es je gemacht hätte.
Search Engine
Can you cure picky eating?
Also, ja, das war ziemlich gut. Wir haben sautierte Grünbeeren als Palettenschlüssel gemacht und er hatte Whisky auf den Steinen. Als sein anderer Palettenschlüssel.
Search Engine
Can you cure picky eating?
Yeah, there were a bunch of fish dishes that we had never heard of. But we ended up choosing three of them. And the first one was the tuna crudo.

Einen zweiten Biss. Ich war überrascht, weil er rein kam und sofort sagte, oh, ich mag das. Ich war so, oh, wir können jetzt einfach gehen. Ich meine, wir haben es geschafft.
Search Engine
Can you cure picky eating?
Für mich als Einzelhändler ist die Antwort ja. Ich habe mich überrascht, als er von dieser rauen Tuna getrunken hat. Ich dachte, das ist gut genug für mich.
Search Engine
Can you cure picky eating?
Yeah, so what I found was the kind of idea of even just choosing what you eat is actually a pretty recent historical phenomenon. I mean, you can imagine most people just had to eat whatever was given to them. durch unsere Geschichte. Also, ich meine, der Begriff Picky-Eaten existierte nicht bis in die 70er-Jahre oder wurde bis in die 70er-Jahre nicht benutzt.
Search Engine
Can you cure picky eating?
Aber es gab eine Art Krieg zwischen pickigen Kindern und ihren Eltern, wahrscheinlich seit den 1800er-Jahren. Spinach and brownies? I feel like you would notice. Probably do. Yeah, there's probably some better ways to do it. Hopefully, you know, maybe new technology is helping this, I hope. Hypnotherapy is actually a popular method.
Search Engine
Can you cure picky eating?
That's for both children and adults, so maybe Manny can try that. Yeah, I would love to. Aber eine der meisten üblichen und definitiv die, mit der ich mich am liebsten kennengelernt habe, ist das, was ich Forced Exposure nennen würde.
Search Engine
Can you cure picky eating?
Also, okay, du hasst ein bisschen Essen, aber wenn wir dich einfach dazu fordern, es zu essen oder umgekehrt zu sein, dann vielleicht schlussendlich wirst du es einfach geben und akzeptieren, dass es eine gute Nahrung ist, um zu essen.

Das ist Mariah, sie ist 18 Jahre alt und sie ist furchtbar für Pickles. Ich meine...

Mori ist ein Sadist. Wenn Mariah, die Pickle-Girl, da ist, würde ich gerne wissen, wo du jetzt bist und wie dein Leben in den letzten 20 Jahren aussieht.

Can you cure picky eating?
Yeah, so like needless to say at the end of the segment, the pickle girl was still very much afraid of pickles. And like the research says, forced exposure therapy like that just doesn't actually work.
Search Engine
Can you cure picky eating?
Yeah. Good daytime TV. Yeah. So we couldn't just take Manny to some factory and hope it would go away. But we tried to find a scientist who had studied this kind of stuff. So we actually came across a professor at Duke University, who was one of the first people to really hone in and look at picky eating in a comprehensive way.

Your Future Self Deserves Better Choices Today
Okay. So I guess long story short, um, So I'm about three months out from turning 30 and, uh, I'm having some kind of crisis realizing that, um, I have essentially been in survival mode. It feels like for the last 13 years of my, uh, my wife and I've been together 13 years and, uh, we have three children together. And so I've, I've come to notice that, uh, I have nothing saved.
The Ramsey Show
Your Future Self Deserves Better Choices Today
I'm constantly like overdrafting and, uh, I don't have a 401k because my work doesn't offer it. My wife is self-employed, so we don't have anything like that. I just, I feel like I need help. Like I'm trying to take in as much info as I can, you know, and do it that way. But I'm like, I just need someone to talk to me about what I need. It makes sense.
The Ramsey Show
Your Future Self Deserves Better Choices Today
Yes. Yeah, it is. I... We were young parents. We were 16 and 17. All of a sudden, it's like life has come together. I've got a job that I adore. My wife, like I said, she's running her own business that she adores. It's like, okay, we've made it, but what do we do now?
The Ramsey Show

Um, I mean she, my kids are all in school, um, full time and, and, and, or I mean, you know, as much as kids are. Um, but so yes, she is home full time. The thing about my job, uh, I work as a paramedic and the only way I was able to find money like that is, um, I have a travel contract.

The Baby Steps Break You out of the Paycheck-to-Paycheck Cycle
Hi, how are you guys?
The Ramsey Show
The Baby Steps Break You out of the Paycheck-to-Paycheck Cycle
So I'm 21 years old. I know I'm pretty much next to nothing about finance. And right now, currently, I'm sharing a vehicle with my mother. And over the next couple years... I like to sock away some cash in buying my own car, and the car I want to buy will be worth a resale value of roughly $15,000 by the time I want to buy it.
The Ramsey Show
The Baby Steps Break You out of the Paycheck-to-Paycheck Cycle
My parents suggest that I take out a loan on this car instead of paying up front with cash, which... I mean, I've been listening to the show for a little bit, but even just on my basic instinct doesn't really seem totally right. I mean, if I have the cash and if it doesn't swap my net worth, then I don't see why I shouldn't just pay up front for it.
The Ramsey Show
The Baby Steps Break You out of the Paycheck-to-Paycheck Cycle
And basically their argument to why I should do this is they claim that the interest that I'd be paying on the car loan would be less than the interest that I would gain through some sort of stock market portfolio with the rest of the cash.
The Ramsey Show
The Baby Steps Break You out of the Paycheck-to-Paycheck Cycle
I mean, it's kind of just, The car was actually my idea, like, let's say, for my own car. It's just the car we're sharing, or at least the one I'm sharing with my mother, is quite old. And, you know, by the time I'll be getting this other car, that car will probably be about 20 or so years old.
The Ramsey Show
The Baby Steps Break You out of the Paycheck-to-Paycheck Cycle
I actually don't know. Might be something to ask them.
The Ramsey Show
The Baby Steps Break You out of the Paycheck-to-Paycheck Cycle
Yeah, they're beating the market. Right. I know that the car that my father bought when I was very young, I know he took out a loan on that one, but the most recent one he bought, he paid fully cash for. Yeah.
The Ramsey Show
The Baby Steps Break You out of the Paycheck-to-Paycheck Cycle
Oh, you were actually asking? Yeah. Yeah, it'll take about two years, yeah. Are you living at home? Yeah, I am. What do you make a year? Per year, I'm not totally sure. I mean, I'm about to be hired for a landscaping company that pays about $22 per hour, which is roughly, I guess, $5,200 per month before taxes and pension deductions and all that.
The Ramsey Show
The Baby Steps Break You out of the Paycheck-to-Paycheck Cycle
No, absolutely. I guess, um, I mean, yeah, you're absolutely right. I guess I'm just not too much of a rush to get a whole separate vehicle. You know what I mean? I guess, uh,
