Speaker 1: It's awkward.
Speaker 2: It's Tuesday.
Speaker 1: It's awkward Tuesday phone call. Everybody has their unique Halloween
Speaker 1: traditions that they personally like to do every single year.
Speaker 1: Like every Halloween, Brook forces her husband to dress up
Speaker 1: in some elaborate homemade costume that he has absolutely no
Speaker 1: interest in. Weary.
Speaker 2: I don't know. He really liked being the vsectomy doctor
Speaker 2: that one year. Yeah, yeah, yeah, are you no? No?
Speaker 2: That was the year that I went as before and afterhood.
Speaker 1: Interesting that those were back to back years.
Speaker 2: It's the same year I got you. Yeah, it was
Speaker 2: a couple's costumes.
Speaker 1: Alexis has a Halloween tradition where she must throw up
Speaker 1: bright red punch into the couple home or she can't
Speaker 1: go back into her apartment.
Speaker 2: You know, it's a successful Halloween.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and those are sacred. And one of our listeners
Speaker 1: needs help with an annual Halloween tradition he does. It's
Speaker 1: gonna work acquire an awkward phone call this time around,
Speaker 1: so let's talk to Andrew about it. Andrew, Welcome to
Speaker 1: the show.
Speaker 3: Hey guys, thanks for having me.
Speaker 2: God, I hope where your new Halloween tradition Andrew? Year one.
Speaker 2: I'm sure next year for problem stopping him every year.
Speaker 1: Well, one of us wishes ill on your Halloween. The
Speaker 1: rest of us will actually want to help you, So
Speaker 1: tell us what's going on.
Speaker 3: Well, I kind of have a weird tradition that has
Speaker 3: only happened once, having the first time last year, but
Speaker 3: I want to keep it going.
Speaker 1: Okay, Oh, so it's not a tradition yet you're hoping
Speaker 1: to make it a tradition.
Speaker 2: Hey, all traditions have to start somewhere, Jeff, Yeah.
Speaker 1: True, that is true.
Speaker 2: What is it? So?
Speaker 3: I met a girl last year. Her name was Kate.
Speaker 3: We met on a dating app and I was completely
Speaker 3: honest with my height with her. I'm about five foot
Speaker 3: five maybe five foot four and three quarters.
Speaker 2: Okay, you're a shorter guy, hey, Broke, don't say that. No,
Speaker 2: I think it's good with confidence.
Speaker 1: I think she's making a state and she's an I.
Speaker 2: Tell women all the time to date short man that
Speaker 2: you got. You work so much listening every time Brooks starts. Seriously,
Speaker 2: those tall guys they just like phone it in. You
Speaker 2: know you want a guy that you you get a
Speaker 2: short hottie with.
Speaker 1: Low self esteem? Isn't that right, right? Andrew?
Speaker 3: Well, you know self imprecations can go my favorite.
Speaker 1: Yea, yeah right here, got her back. Okay, she's how tall?
Speaker 3: She's six foot one not short day.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you guys are kind of role reversal there.
Speaker 2: That's cool.
Speaker 3: So I called her and through the dating app, I
Speaker 3: was like, I know you're probably not going to message
Speaker 3: me back, but I'm into taller women and I think
Speaker 3: you're beautiful. But I'm only five five.
Speaker 2: Did I get it? I like to be picked up too.
Speaker 2: Someone is strong enough to pick you up.
Speaker 1: He picks her up and spins her in a circle.
Speaker 1: He's a grown man, brook, He's not a baby woman.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 1: Just sorry about that, Andrews. So that's a bold thing
Speaker 1: to be honest in your message. Did she respond?
Speaker 3: She did, and to her credit, she was like, sure,
Speaker 3: what the heck, let's meet up. So that's great. Yeah,
Speaker 3: And what it came down to was that we both
Speaker 3: weren't doing anything on the day of Halloween, like on
Speaker 3: the actual like October thirty first, okay, and it was
Speaker 3: on a weekday, so we just met up at a
Speaker 3: bar and we instantly hit it off. So we may
Speaker 3: look mismatched, but our personalities were perfect. We're both like
Speaker 3: very sarcastic senses of humoring.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So we we drank and we laughed for like about
Speaker 3: an hour, and then I had the funniest idea. I
Speaker 3: was like, Okay, what if we went back to my
Speaker 3: place and I put on one of my old Halloween.
Speaker 1: Costumes and keep going.
Speaker 3: To you, this might be the opposite of what you're thinking.
Speaker 3: Oh no, we put on the Halloween costumes and we
Speaker 3: go around the neighborhood trick or treating together, and we
Speaker 3: pretend that she's my mom.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: What Okay?
Speaker 2: That is so not hot head better funny. It's funny,
Speaker 2: But like, aren't you romantically interested in this woman?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Definitely, definitely. But like at the time, it was Halloween
Speaker 3: night and we had a couple of drinks.
Speaker 1: And Brook, what's not romantic about going trick or treating
Speaker 1: with your mom on Halloween.
Speaker 2: Nobody wants to be a man's mom. It's just not hot.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. He's using humor to bond with
Speaker 1: herding me a kid.
Speaker 2: Yah.
Speaker 1: Think it's funny.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you did it.
Speaker 1: You pitched her this idea.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And because I felt like we have the same
Speaker 3: kind of sense of humor and really connected. I thought
Speaker 3: that she would say yes, and he did.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, she's doing it for the plot.
Speaker 3: We got into a Halloween cuss she was and we
Speaker 3: would walk around and she would say things at the
Speaker 3: door like sorry, he doesn't talk a lot, but he's
Speaker 3: a really nice boy.
Speaker 1: Because you couldn't say anything else, people would know with
Speaker 1: your voice.
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe you found your person. If she was
Speaker 2: into this, maybe this is the person for you.
Speaker 1: How did it go?
Speaker 3: It was definitely fun and we got a good amount
Speaker 3: of candy.
Speaker 2: That's not even did you spread it out on the
Speaker 2: floor and like, do Trady just take a photo of that?
Speaker 1: I can't believe you said that.
Speaker 3: Well, we actually went to a park at the end
Speaker 3: of the night and we split the candy and drank
Speaker 3: some beers from my fridge, and honestly, I gotta tell you,
Speaker 3: this was the best Halloween I have had since I.
Speaker 2: Was like, but you didn't have another date with her?
Speaker 2: Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 3: No, So we've sort of for the last year just
Speaker 3: sort of been like text or like commenting on me
Speaker 3: to the social media post. Okay, I've been texting her
Speaker 3: to try to organize it because I'd really love to
Speaker 3: do it again and she's not responding to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you don't want a six foot one dad
Speaker 2: to come along with you, you have six my mom.
Speaker 3: But in all seriousness, I really thought Kate was a
Speaker 3: really cool person, and like, even if she doesn't want
Speaker 3: to do this, just like hanging out in person again
Speaker 3: is something I'm really shooting for here.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's like a monster mashup of second date and
Speaker 2: awkward Tuesday.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, a year later. Okay, Yeah, we'll try and
Speaker 1: get it done. We'll come back give you a little
Speaker 1: bit of advice right after this. Okay, thank you, second
Speaker 1: date update. I know I said at the start that
Speaker 1: this was an awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 2: Let's change your mind.
Speaker 1: The more we hear this story, the more I started
Speaker 1: to think, it's not really awkward. It's more of a
Speaker 1: second date update just a year after the first meet up,
Speaker 1: a kind of thinking.
Speaker 2: Honestly, the first time he asked her to pretend to
Speaker 2: be his mother should have been the awkward yeah after
Speaker 2: she said yes, it's But.
Speaker 1: That's because you know, before we had him on, we
Speaker 1: didn't know the full story. But Andrew basically wants to
Speaker 1: take Kate out on another date, and he says either
Speaker 1: an adult trick or treated venture like last time, which
Speaker 1: he's already pitched to her over text, or if not,
Speaker 1: that he's willing to settle for a lifelong romantic Hallmark
Speaker 1: style relationships.
Speaker 3: He's not picking.
Speaker 1: He'll take whatever he'll get.
Speaker 2: He really does love though, he does know.
Speaker 1: But it includes that we're officially gonna switch it up here.
Speaker 1: No awkward Tuesday anymore. It's a second date update from
Speaker 1: here on. Now, are you cool with that? Andrew? Is
Speaker 1: that okay?
Speaker 3: Sure? Yeah, I'm cool with that.
Speaker 2: That means it's fine advice anyways. Yeah, that means that
Speaker 2: we're doing the talking then when we call her.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's how our second date updates work. Remember, welcome
Speaker 1: to the show that you've been working on forever adjective
Speaker 1: for you, Jeffrey.
Speaker 3: Does it make you feel better that we're taking over
Speaker 3: the work and you don't have to do all the talking?
Speaker 4: Brother?
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, yes, I don't think he's confident in us.
Speaker 1: Just before we do this, for context, when is the
Speaker 1: last time that you texted Kate? Andrew?
Speaker 3: Last time I texted her was a few days ago
Speaker 3: because I was like, Hey, are we doing this Halloween?
Speaker 3: For treating thing again or what.
Speaker 2: Where you act like her son? Very straightforward. Yeah. Did
Speaker 2: she respond to that?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: Okay, he's like, yeah, she said, we're doing it all right,
Speaker 1: all right, No, you're right. Let's just call her and
Speaker 1: I'll ask that question and see if we have better
Speaker 1: luck this time. Okay, a different question. Yeah, we're going
Speaker 1: to ask something and something will happen. Here we go
Speaker 1: and doubt the numbers. Hello, Hey is this Kate?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Who's this?
Speaker 2: Hey?
Speaker 1: Kate? You're on the radio right now with Brooke and
Speaker 1: Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 4: Oh no, did I why?
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, yes, welcome to the show.
Speaker 1: Ok yeah, no, this is a good thing, Kate. We're
Speaker 1: doing something with you called a second date update.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 2: Oh man, you will never guess who called us about you. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's been a minute.
Speaker 1: It has been a while since you were on a
Speaker 1: date with this person, at least officially. His name is Andrew.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, he's been he's been in contact with me.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, that's a cute giggle.
Speaker 1: We've kind of heard about it, you guys, being in contact.
Speaker 1: He's trying to organize another meetup and you're taking him
Speaker 1: up on the offer. Or at least you're not responding
Speaker 1: like we were trying to help him figure out what's
Speaker 1: going on because he's confused.
Speaker 2: I mean, it seems you know, we don't know, that's
Speaker 2: why we're asking, right, So.
Speaker 4: Like I'm just, yeah, I'm to confuse too, because I'm
Speaker 4: just kind of like not wanting to go out with
Speaker 4: him and all of his friends, like his friends. Doesn't understand.
Speaker 2: He didn't mention his friends when he talked to us.
Speaker 1: He was just talking about do you and with this
Speaker 1: Halloween thing? Do you mean like going around trick or
Speaker 1: treating where he pretends to be a kid and you
Speaker 1: pretend to be his mom because you're.
Speaker 2: So much taller than him. Apparently, I can't believe he
Speaker 2: told you guys that, But earlier you mentioned his friends, Like,
Speaker 2: what are you talking about his friends?
Speaker 4: He wants me to take him and all of his
Speaker 4: friends trick or treating?
Speaker 2: Wait? What?
Speaker 1: No, his adult friends are tall?
Speaker 2: Are all of his guy friends really short?
Speaker 4: I haven't met them, but he said that they're all
Speaker 4: short like him. I can't believe that they're short as
Speaker 4: him because he's really short.
Speaker 2: So is it is the turnoff like you acting as
Speaker 2: his mother? Or is the turn off you acting as
Speaker 2: his mother to not just him, but all of all
Speaker 2: of his friends both both.
Speaker 1: No, I'll tell you this. He didn't make to us
Speaker 1: anything about wanting to bring other friends along on the
Speaker 1: trick or tree date experience. He just said it was
Speaker 1: just you and him.
Speaker 2: And he also mentioned that he's like romantically interested in you,
Speaker 2: like he would be fine hanging out with you outside him.
Speaker 1: It would be smart if he brought friends.
Speaker 3: They could stack on each other's shoulders and do the
Speaker 3: trench go thing and then they'd be the same high.
Speaker 1: Then they can yeah do the adult parties.
Speaker 2: Seems to be so much hotter. Yeah yeah, I mean,
Speaker 2: just as men don't like to be made fun of
Speaker 2: for being short, women don't like to be made fun
Speaker 2: of for being told well yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: But going back to what Brooks said, like, do you
Speaker 1: feel like you're romantically interested in him?
Speaker 4: Still? I mean, I don't know, you know what.
Speaker 1: In fact, don't even answer that. Let's just go over
Speaker 1: to our other phone line where we actually have Andrew
Speaker 1: eagerly awaiting your response, Andrew maskof say.
Speaker 3: Hello, Hi, Hi, Kate. Good to hear your voice.
Speaker 4: Hey good, yeah you too, Oh Kate, you did say,
Speaker 4: last like how much fun you had doing this with me,
Speaker 4: and like you promised at.
Speaker 3: The end that we do it again next year. So
Speaker 3: just think about how much more fun it would be
Speaker 3: if there was like a group of us going together.
Speaker 1: Says more children, more friends.
Speaker 4: God, I it's like if you want me to meet
Speaker 4: your friends. First of all, we're only go on one date,
Speaker 4: so it's like, I'm not really ready to go and
Speaker 4: meet all your friends, and like you have this like
Speaker 4: group of these little guys, and you want me to
Speaker 4: be the tall chaperone to you and all your friends,
Speaker 4: and it just doesn't doesn't make sense to me. It's
Speaker 4: not sexy.
Speaker 1: It's not I mean, can you guarantee her that it'll
Speaker 1: be sexy?
Speaker 2: I suggss.
Speaker 1: It's what she wanted last year. You guys were also
Speaker 1: drinking too. This must be different. Planning at sober and
Speaker 1: ahead of time.
Speaker 2: Just being someone's mom is not high or not.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe Andrew, you could be her dad on this.
Speaker 2: Two adults.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think what we want to do is take
Speaker 1: the trick or treating date off the table completely.
Speaker 2: Can someone throw a Halloween party out of your friends? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I don't think we're going to make any progress romantically
Speaker 1: with that as the date.
Speaker 4: Andrew, I don't want to do that, just to be honest,
Speaker 4: all right, So okay, Kate, if I'm picking up what
Speaker 4: you're putting down here, you don't want to do this
Speaker 4: trick or treating thing.
Speaker 3: And I imagine that in the last year, you know,
Speaker 3: you you've started dating someone you're not you're not single anymore,
Speaker 3: that that would be my guess.
Speaker 1: Oh she said anything like that.
Speaker 4: I am single, but that has absolutely nothing to do
Speaker 4: with this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she said she doesn't want that.
Speaker 3: No, how could she not want it? Right? This sounds
Speaker 3: like the best night ever. I'm not alone in this life.
Speaker 1: Sounds he's very sold on his own idea.
Speaker 2: I think you just go trigger treating without a parental guide,
Speaker 2: you know, just he promised all.
Speaker 1: Of his friends she would chaperone, and now he's freaking out.
Speaker 3: You're not lying about that. I mean, I did talk
Speaker 3: to my friends about this and they really like the idea.
Speaker 1: Okay, Kate, you don't want to let Andrew's friends down
Speaker 1: on this. You say, one more date and we would
Speaker 1: pay for it, and you can chaperone him around the
Speaker 1: neighborhood with his little buddies. Do you want to help Brook.
Speaker 2: I'm not tall enough.
Speaker 4: I'm so sorry, and I just kind of feel a
Speaker 4: little creep out about the whole thing.
Speaker 1: No, Hey, we're not trying to do it.
Speaker 2: She's never dating a short guy again. He tries to
Speaker 2: stand up for that.
Speaker 1: I happened, Andrew, Man, I'm sorry. It sounds like we're
Speaker 1: not going to be able to get you a date here.
Speaker 1: Kate doesn't want to be your chaperone.
Speaker 3: Okay, fine, but you're really missing out. Do you have
Speaker 3: any other tall female friends that might want to be
Speaker 3: involved in ancestor.
Speaker 1: Anybody who really wants to be a mom for just
Speaker 1: one night?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I don't think so at this point.
Speaker 2: Shocking.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, put on the stilts, you're up.
Speaker 2: It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 1: You ever played trick or Treat in the truck stop
Speaker 1: bathroom where you go and knock on an occupied bathroom
Speaker 1: stall and you shout trick or treat and see what happens?
Speaker 2: As these questions, I feel like they should just be monologue.
Speaker 1: I'm tempted to try it because I bet it would
Speaker 1: still go better than the call that we just had.
Speaker 2: Wow, I thought for sure you'd already tried it.
Speaker 1: Well shockingly not yet. Okay, but this Halloween, I'll keep
Speaker 1: you posted on what happened.
Speaker 2: He just really didn't get it.
Speaker 1: I don't he just really thought it was romantic.
Speaker 2: I think no, no, I think he just wanted to
Speaker 2: get free candy. Yeah, I mean, which I feel him
Speaker 2: for that. You know, I get that. By the way,
Speaker 2: is it like a short guy meetup group? Is that?
Speaker 1: I don't know. My friends are different and they like
Speaker 1: measure your height in order to be able to download
Speaker 1: the app too, So you can't get it unless you are.
Speaker 1: You downloading down is the key. It was kind of
Speaker 1: doomed from the start with that idea for a date.
Speaker 1: But doesn't mean we can't help you out. We can
Speaker 1: always have you email the show. We'll call the person
Speaker 1: who was in calling you back. And check out all
Speaker 1: of our podcasts, all of our second dates wherever you
Speaker 1: get yours at Brook and Jeffery
Speaker 4: Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning,
