Speaker 1: Second date, up date. 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, Brooke forces her husband to dress up
Speaker 1: in some elaborate homemade costume that he has absolutely no
Speaker 1: interest in.
Speaker 3: Why.
Speaker 4: I don't know. He really liked being the doctor that
Speaker 4: one year. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, No, that was the
Speaker 4: year that I went as before and after Pilhood.
Speaker 1: Interesting that those were back to back years.
Speaker 4: It's the same year I got you. Yeah, it was
Speaker 4: a couple's costumes.
Speaker 1: Alexis has a Halloween tradition where she must throw up
Speaker 1: bright red punch into the cup home or she can't
Speaker 1: go back into her apartment.
Speaker 4: 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 annill Halloween tradition he does, it's
Speaker 1: going to require 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 4: God, I hope where your new Halloween tradition? Andrew Year

Speaker 1: Okay, Well, one of us wishes ill on your Halloween.
Speaker 1: The rest of us will actually want to help you,
Speaker 1: So 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 4: Hey, all traditions have to start somewhere, Jeff, Yeah, true,
Speaker 4: that is true. What is it?
Speaker 5: 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 4: Okay, you're a shorter guy, Hey, Broke, don't say that. No,
Speaker 4: I think it's goods with confidence. I think it's fine.
Speaker 1: She's making a statement. She's funny.
Speaker 4: I tell women all the time to date short man
Speaker 4: that you got you work so much. Stop listening every
Speaker 4: time Brooks starts saying seriously, those tall guys they just
Speaker 4: like phone it in. You know, you want to guy
Speaker 4: that lets you you get a short hottie someone.
Speaker 1: With low self esteem? Isn't that right?
Speaker 3: Right? Andrew well, you know self, imprecations can go my favorite.
Speaker 1: Yes right here, got her back. Okay, she's how tall?
Speaker 3: She's six foot one not short day.
Speaker 4: Okay, so you guys are kind of role reversal there.
Speaker 4: 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 4: Did I get it? I like to be picked up too. Wow,
Speaker 4: someone who 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, 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.
Speaker 4: So that's great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And what it came down to was.
Speaker 6: That we both weren't doing anything on the day of Halloween,
Speaker 6: like the actual like October thirty first, okay, and it
Speaker 6: was on a weekday, so we just met up at
Speaker 6: a bar and we instantly hit it off.
Speaker 3: So we may look mismatched, but our personalities were perfect.
Speaker 3: We're both like very sarcastic, sensitive humorshing. Yeah. So we
Speaker 3: we drank and we laughed for like about an hour,
Speaker 3: and then I had the funniest idea. I was like, Okay,
Speaker 3: what if we went back to my place and I
Speaker 3: put on one of my old Halloween costumes and keep going.
Speaker 3: This might through the opposite of what you're thinking. Oh no,
Speaker 3: we put on the Halloween costumes and we go around
Speaker 3: the neighborhood trick or treating together, and we pretend that
Speaker 3: she's my mom.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, what Okay? That is so not hot
Speaker 4: head better funny, it's funny, But like, aren't you romantically
Speaker 4: 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 what's Brooke, what's not romantic about going trick or
Speaker 1: treating with your mom on Halloween.
Speaker 4: Nobody wants to be a man's mom. It's just not hot.
Speaker 3: But here's the thing.
Speaker 1: He's using humor to bond with her.
Speaker 4: A kid. Yeah, they think it's funny. Okay, 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 that
Speaker 3: she would say yes, and she did.
Speaker 4: Oh oh my god, she's doing.
Speaker 2: It for the plot.
Speaker 3: We got into the Halloween cuss she was and we
Speaker 3: would walk around and she would say things at the door,
Speaker 3: like sorry, he doesn't talk a lot, but he's a
Speaker 3: really nice boy.
Speaker 1: Because you couldn't say anything else, people would't know with
Speaker 1: your voice.
Speaker 4: I mean, maybe you found your person. If she was
Speaker 4: 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 4: No, that's not even did you spread it out on
Speaker 4: the floor and like do trades? Did take a photo
Speaker 4: 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 3: was like eight.
Speaker 4: But you didn't have another date with her? Is that
Speaker 4: what you're saying?
Speaker 3: No, So we've for the last year just sort of
Speaker 3: been like texting or like commenting on me to the
Speaker 3: social media post.
Speaker 4: Okay, I've been.
Speaker 3: Texting her to try to organize it because I'd really
Speaker 3: love to do it again, and she's not responding to me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you don't want a six foot one dad
Speaker 4: to come along with you. You don't have to 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 4: Okay, it's like a monster mashup of second date and
Speaker 4: 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.
Speaker 4: Call, but 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
Speaker 1: I wanted to think.
Speaker 4: Honestly, the first time he asked her to pretend to
Speaker 4: be his mother should have been the awkward PoCA yeah
Speaker 4: after 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 treat a venture like last time,
Speaker 1: which 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. He's not picking. He'll take whatever he'll get.
Speaker 4: He really does love though, he does, you know.
Speaker 1: But we're officially gonna switch it up here. No awkward
Speaker 1: Tuesday anymore. It's a second date update from here on. Now,
Speaker 1: are you cool with that? Andrew? Is that okay?
Speaker 6: Sure?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm cool with that.
Speaker 4: That means it's fine advice anyways. Yeah, that means that
Speaker 4: 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 a decade.
Speaker 4: Well, I've got for you, Jeff.
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 2: Brother?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: Okay, yes, I don't think he's confident in us. Just
Speaker 1: before we do this, for context, when is the last
Speaker 1: 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: treating thing again or what where.
Speaker 4: You act like her son? Very straightforward? Yeah. Did she
Speaker 4: respond to that?
Speaker 3: No? Okay, he's like, yeah, she said, we're doing it
Speaker 3: 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.
Speaker 4: Okay, a different question.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're going to ask something and something will happen.
Speaker 1: Here we go and doubt the numbers. Hello, Hey is
Speaker 1: this Kate?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Who's this?
Speaker 1: Hey Kate? You're on the radio right now with Brooke
Speaker 1: and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 2: Oh no, did I why?
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, yes, yeah, no, this is a good thing, Kate.
Speaker 1: We're doing something with you called a second date update.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: Oh man, you will never guess who called us about you. Yeah,
Speaker 4: 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 1: Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: He's been he's been in contact with me.
Speaker 4: 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 4: I mean, it seems you know, we don't know, that's
Speaker 4: why we're asking, right.
Speaker 2: So like I'm just yeah, I'm kind of confused too,
Speaker 2: because I'm just kind of like not wanting to go
Speaker 2: out with him and all of his friends, like his friends.
Speaker 2: Doesn't understand.
Speaker 4: 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.
Speaker 4: You're so much taller than him, apparently, I can't believe
Speaker 4: he told you guys that, But earlier you mentioned his friends, Like,
Speaker 4: what are you talking about his friends?
Speaker 2: He wants me to take him and all of his
Speaker 2: friends trick or treating?
Speaker 4: Wait?
Speaker 1: What his adult friends are?
Speaker 4: Are all of his guy friends really short?
Speaker 2: I haven't met them, but he said that they're all
Speaker 2: short like him. I can't believe that they're short as
Speaker 2: him because he's really short.
Speaker 4: But so it is the turnoff, like you acting as
Speaker 4: his mother, or is the turn off you acting as
Speaker 4: his mother to not just him, but all of all
Speaker 4: of his friends.
Speaker 3: Both both.
Speaker 1: Now, I'll tell you this. He didn't mention 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.
Speaker 4: Him, And he also mentioned that he's like romantically interested
Speaker 4: in you, like he would be fine hanging out with
Speaker 4: you outside him.
Speaker 3: It would be.
Speaker 1: Smart if he brought friends.
Speaker 3: They could stack on each other's shoulders and do the
Speaker 3: trench goill thing and then they'd be.
Speaker 1: The same high. Then they can yeah, do the adult parties.
Speaker 4: Perfect seems to be so much harter. Yeah yeah, I mean,
Speaker 4: just as men don't like to be made fun of
Speaker 4: for being short, women don't like to be made fun
Speaker 4: of for being tall. 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?
Speaker 2: 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 2: Hey good, Yeah you too.
Speaker 3: Oh, Kate, you did say last year, like how much
Speaker 3: fun you had doing this with me, and like you
Speaker 3: promise at the end that we do it again next year.
Speaker 3: So just think about how much more fun it would
Speaker 3: be if there was like a group of us going together.
Speaker 1: Brook always says more children, more friends.
Speaker 2: Oh god, it's like if you want me to meet
Speaker 2: your friends. First of all, we're only go on one date,
Speaker 2: so it's like, I'm not really ready to go and
Speaker 2: meet all of your friends, and like you have this
Speaker 2: like group of these little guys and you want me
Speaker 2: to be the tall chaperone you and I your friends,
Speaker 2: and it just doesn't doesn't make sense to me. It's
Speaker 2: not sexy, it's not.
Speaker 1: I mean, can you guarantee her that it'll be sexy?
Speaker 4: Sugress?
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 4: Just being someone's mom is not high, okay or not?
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe Andrew you be her dad on this.
Speaker 4: 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 4: Can someone throw a Halloween party out your friends?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I don't think we're going to make any progress romantically
Speaker 1: with that as the date. Andrew, I don't.
Speaker 2: Want to do that, just to be honest.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 5: So okay, Kate, if I'm picking up what you're putting
Speaker 5: down here, you don't want to do this trick or
Speaker 5: treating thing. And I imagine that in the last year,
Speaker 5: you know, you've started dating someone you're not you're not
Speaker 5: single anymore, that that would be my guess.
Speaker 1: Oh she said anything like that.
Speaker 2: I am single, but that has absolutely nothing to do
Speaker 2: 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 4: I think you just go trigger treating without a parental guide,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 1: Just he promised all of his friends she would chaperone,
Speaker 1: 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. Say one more date and we would pay
Speaker 1: for it and you can chaperone him around the neighborhood
Speaker 1: with his little buddies. Do you want to help.
Speaker 4: Brooke not tall enough?
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry. You don't need to apologize, and I
Speaker 2: just kind of feel a little creeped out about the
Speaker 2: whole thing.
Speaker 1: No, Hey, we're not trying to do it.
Speaker 4: She's never dating a short guy again.
Speaker 1: He tries to stand up for that I happens, Andrew, Man,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. It sounds like we're not going to be
Speaker 1: able to get you a date here. Kate doesn't want
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: Ancestor anybody who really wants to be a mom for
Speaker 1: just one night?
Speaker 2: You know, I don't think so at this point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Brook, put on the stilts. You're up.
Speaker 1: Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.
