00:00Hey, it's J.R., and I'm talking about the 7.15 Second Date Update.
00:02I'm going to tell you this.
00:03Aaron has obviously thought about this subject quite a bit and obsessed on it,
00:08and Jamie was just trying to do something nice.
00:11Tell us what you think right now and leave a comment.
00:13All right, we just talked to Jamie about the 7.15 Second Date Update.
00:16She had a great time with Aaron, as they always tell us,
00:19and she couldn't think of anything that went wrong,
00:22but she liked the fact that he was a little bit old school,
00:24went and picked her up, took her to Brick House.
00:27They had a great time there.
00:28Afterwards, I said, how did it end?
00:30She said it ended with a kiss on the cheek and then walking her to her door,
00:34which is a great sign.
00:35He wouldn't have done that if something went wrong on the date.
00:40So I'm thinking it's got to be something that happened after the date, maybe.
00:44He discovered something or met someone else, something like that.
00:48I said there's a lot of pretty girls at Brick House.
00:50All right, well, before we make any assumptions, we actually have him on hold.
00:54Kevin does what he does.
00:55He's got Aaron on hold right now.
00:56Let's bring him back on.
00:57Aaron, are you there?
00:58Yeah, yeah, I'm here.
00:59Hey, Aaron, I appreciate you talking to Kevin,
01:01and I appreciate you agreeing to come on the air with us.
01:03We just wanted to ask you real quick about this girl, Jamie.
01:07We know that you guys went to Brick House.
01:10I guess you were a complete gentleman, and you picked her up and also dropped her off.
01:14The date ended with a kiss on the cheek, and you walking her to her door.
01:18That all sounds great, man.
01:20We're just trying to figure out why now you have dropped off completely
01:23and are not communicating with Jamie at all.
01:25I mean, that's what we know, and that's kind of what we want to figure out is where'd you go?
01:28After dinner, some beers, which I'm driving her home.
01:34We stopped at 275 in Dale Mabry, and of course, there's a homeless guy on the corner,
01:40and she puts the window down, and she gives the guy $20.
01:45And I'm thinking, really?
01:47She's supporting this problem?
01:51And I'm just – I can't deal with supporting people's vices, their alcohol abuse, drug abuse.
02:00These panhandlers, it's a scam.
02:02First of all, it's an organized scam.
02:05These people make an average of $20 an hour.
02:09And let's be clear, that's tax-free.
02:12That's cash in the pocket.
02:13You do the numbers on that.
02:15That can be over, what, $40,000 a year tax-free.
02:20And so she just did it so casually, and I'm thinking, oh, my God.
02:23I bet at every street corner, she's handing out $20 here, $30 there.
02:29And it just – it contributes to this crisis of panhandlers who are just everywhere, who –
02:36we have – you can throw a rock in any direction and find 10 jobs.
02:42Yeah.
02:42Everyone is hiring, and they can't build their jobs everywhere.
02:46And these panhandlers are on the side of the road.
02:50They want to just sit there and collect money instead of going out and getting a job.
02:53And I just – I have a very strong stance on that.
02:56Sounds like it.
02:57Sounds like you're doing a lot of math with this, a lot of calculating, a lot of research on this.
03:02I mean, man, this really is a hot button for you.
03:04But can't you see – even if that is true and even if – let's just – whatever.
03:08I'll take you at your word for that.
03:09Let's just talk about Jamie.
03:10Don't you think that was just a nice gesture of somebody who has a good heart and is trying to help somebody out?
03:14I feel like that would be an attractive quality.
03:16The problem is it's misplaced.
03:18It relieves your guilt, your conscience.
03:21But it doesn't – all you're doing is supporting a drug habit.
03:24You're just supporting an alcoholic.
03:26If you watch, an hour later, he's just going to the liquor store and he's buying his 40-ounce or he's going to go fuel his drug habit.
03:34I mean, this is – there's a lot of good reporting about this.
03:38It's a problem.
03:39And you just contribute.
03:40You're actually enabling the behavior.
03:43You're just giving someone money.
03:44All right, Erin, I feel like this is like a whole other show we could be talking about this.
03:49But we are talking about the date, and Jamie was confused, and we actually have her on hold with us, and I'd like to bring her back on.
03:55That's a lot.
03:56Jamie, you there?
03:58Wow.
03:59Wow.
03:59Yeah, I'm here.
04:00I'll just let you talk to Erin.
04:02You're not calling me because I did something nice?
04:06Really?
04:06You're not doing something that's nice.
04:08You're actually hurting that person.
04:10You're enabling them.
04:11I was having a good night.
04:13I was in a good mood, and on a whim, I decided to give $20 to a guy who looks like he needs it.
04:21Say the next person gave him $10.
04:23Round that to $30 an hour, that's like $70,000 a year that that guy is making sitting on the street corner instead of getting a job when we need people back to work.
04:36All right, hold on, though.
04:37I mean, again, Erin, I think we're missing the point here.
04:40I mean, I don't think Jamie is going on a political run about this.
04:44She was saying, hey, this guy needs some help in her mind and said, I'm going to give $20 to him.
04:50Now, if you think that money is going to the wrong place, that's okay, but let's just judge her by where she was coming from, and that is, hey, I want to help somebody out.
04:56She's trying to be a nice person.
04:58That's it.
04:59I don't see it that way.
05:00I see it as misguided, and I find it disappointing that she doesn't contemplate that.
05:06She doesn't contemplate her actions and the repercussions of those actions.
05:10So you've just been reeling on this ever since the date?
05:13Yeah, it's a serious issue.
05:15Okay, so before I ask Erin if he'd be willing to put this behind him, do you have any interest on going on another date with Erin?
05:22Yeah, no.
05:23No, I'm good.
05:25You know what?
05:26It's just as well that we found out now.
05:28It seems like, you know, if he's going to completely come down on me for, you know, trying to be a good person, then, you know, I don't need that in my life, so I'm good.
05:40All right.
05:40Well, Erin, I've got to say thank you for coming on with us today.
05:44I appreciate your time.
05:45Jamie, now you know, and I wish you both luck, okay?
05:49Thanks, man.
05:51Woo!
05:51He's thought about that a lot.
05:52Yes, he has.
05:53He's very passionate about that kind of stuff, so, but I mean, but is that a reason to not call somebody back and not going out on another date?
06:01I mean, just because they gave a homeless person 20 bucks?
06:05She wasn't thinking it as far down the road as he was.
06:07She's like, hey, I just want to help her out.
06:09All right.
06:10What do you think about this?
06:11800-992-1099.
06:13800-992-1099.
06:14Hit us up.
