All right, we're gonna do it together. It's Monday. Wow.
My voice is just touch and go. That's a Monday voice.
That is voice.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
And we're kicking off Hallo week. You know Jeff Jeffrey
calling it hunts Tobers.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
I honestly can't understand him when he says it's.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
I thought he was saying hot Tober. I didn't really
know what he was saying. It was all over the place.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
The most important part of this is that you need
to follow our socials.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
We're gonna have so much fun this week getting into
the speaky spirit.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
And that is definitely the case today with your Second
Date update. But before we always do your comments.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
What do you got?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Alexis Yes, Joe Will said, been an avid fan and
because of y'all, my mom threatened to call an exorcist
on me. Constantly catch me cackling alone, Jeff playing on
my AirPods.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Defend me, y'all, just wait till your head starts spinning
in circles.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
No love, We love it.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Keep those comments coming and enjoy the Second Date update.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
It starts right now.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
Second Date Update.
Speaker 6 (01:01):
Vampires wear Wolves, cool gools and goblins all terrifying for sure,
but we all know nothing is scarier than dating in
the modern world. That's the sound of someone getting blocked
on Tinder.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Are we allowed to do a horror film? Is that
what we're allowed to do right now?
Speaker 5 (01:22):
That's what we're in right now, because if you could imagine,
we're getting a lot of emails from people who are
meeting other single people during the spooky season. Yeah, for sure,
it's even meeting them in person.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Scared Alexis, who.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Would be brave enough to do such a thing? Our listener, Anthony, Oh, cool,
a girl in person and needs our help. Anthony, what's up?
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Hey, guys?
Speaker 1 (01:49):
You cool? Where'd you meet this lady?
Speaker 4 (01:54):
So we work in a hunted house together?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Oh are you guys? Like the actors and the.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Yeah, yeah, I'm a cannibal cook. She's a zombie cheerleader.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
What's her name? Her name is Quinn Quinn okay and
the zombie cheerleader.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
This is something that I do every year. I've been
doing it. So I was like, you know, a teenager, wow,
and this is her first year there. But I know
this probably sounds weird, but you know, when she does
her like dead zombie boys, I think it's pretty hot.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
How did you guys get to talking or were your
friends you know, all spooky season?
Speaker 5 (02:42):
How do you flirt in a haunted house?
Speaker 4 (02:44):
So we do like a couple of scenes together. It's
like this scene where she's like strapped to a table
and I like take a bite out of her arm.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Yeah, there's definitely like some flirtation there, you know. Oh yeah,
I missed your arm.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
And now we're making out. Yeah, That's how I flirt
even when I'm not in a haunted house.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
So I feel you and it's a fun vibe too.
I've like volunteered as an actor before on a haunted house. Yeah,
and like backstage, they like do your makeup, So there's
like downtime too. I assume you guys have connected outside
of you just eating her arm.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Yeah, yeah, you know, I asked her out and so
we went to a bar after work one night.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Oh my god, were you still in makeup?
Speaker 7 (03:29):
No, we have a shower there so we can like
shower and change and stuff before we go home. But
I mean, I go to a bar and you know,
that was kind of like the first time I'd really
actually seen her without the makeup on, and she she
looked even hotter without like a bloody massa.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
It's a bad sign if you say she looks way
hotter when she's bloody.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, she's somehow more pale. Yeah, strange.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
All right, well that's good news. What did you guys do?
Speaker 4 (03:55):
I mean, we just like mostly like we had some drinks,
talk about Halloween, like different costumes that we wore when
we were kids, our favorite candy, you know, like childhood
memories and stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
I shouldn't even ask what your favorite candy is. I
don't want to start a fight because there's only one
right answer, candy corn.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
But what is that what you said? That is why
she's not calling you back. I didn't even know.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
This guy. Oh wow, I'm kidding.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
I'm kidding, dudes. So that's cool that you guys bonded
over old Halloween memories. That sounds fun.
Speaker 8 (04:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
So you know it's like we got we got like
a little close.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
We didn't kiss, but there was definitely like feels like
we were feeling each other and you know, we like
hugged good night, and I was like, Okay, this was fun,
I'll see you tomorrow. Awesome. But then the next day
she was like moved to a totally different room in
the haunted house like on the other side.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Oh no, is that by chance or do you think
she asked to be moved?
Speaker 4 (04:52):
I don't know, Like, I don't know if you like
requested it or if it was just, like, you know,
part of the regular rotation. But I did see her,
and she's I think, kind of cold, and she's maybe.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Really in character.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Yeah cold body. Yeah who that sucks. Now you have
to bite somebody else's arm.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
It's been weird.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Is she not answering my text or like my Instagram messages?
And uh kind of bumming me out? So I'm hoping
that you can help me.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
I mean, is there anything looking back on your night
at the bar that you think maybe you did wrong
that could have turned her off?
Speaker 4 (05:24):
I mean I thought about that, but honestly, I can't
think of anything.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Maybe she was just using you for your brains, I mean,
she is a zombie.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Or maybe you bit her arm too hard. Oh wow,
she needs just a little soft nibble.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
I guess that's possible. I mean, I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
It sounds like she's definitely avoiding you.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Let's call this undead cheerleader and ask her what's up,
We're gonna play a song, come back and get you
your Halloween themed second date update. Right after this second
date update, you've seen Hannibal lecter, but have you seen
Hannibal in love? Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Even Hannibal deserves love?
Speaker 5 (06:01):
A man in a mask nibbling on a zombie cheerleader's
arm while they both sip on a cold can of
blood light Actually, but what he really has his eyes
set on is her heart?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Oh? Does she still have one?
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Not just to eat, but to have forever? What's happening
with one of our listeners, Anthony, who met a girl
named Quinn while they both worked together at a haunted house.
But after they went out, she was moved to a
different room and she's been acting kind of cold towards him.
So we're going to call her and ask what gives Brooke?
How optimistic are you that this ends in a date
(06:39):
because it sounds kind of romantic to me?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
It did. I thought it sounded really romantic until she
got moved And I think she may have done that
on purpose, which is not a good sign that I mean,
it sounds like she wants nothing to do with you.
Did you insult her in some way?
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I told her that she looks better without all the
bloody zombie makeup.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
But oh, how a horrible thing to say to a woman.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I don't know. Maybe a vampire swooped in and got
her first, you know, yeah, fell in another moment. Yeah,
maybe just don't calm out like women's makeup.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
I was just gonna say, some women get offended and
look into things, and Alexis.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Proved the point.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
All right, well let's stop speculating and start getting some answers. Look,
we're gonna call Quinn right here. You ready, Anthony, I'm ready,
all right, here we go.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Hello, mm hmm, I don't know. I was expecting a zombie.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
That's a bummer. Hey is this Quinn?
Speaker 8 (07:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (07:45):
They were a radio show you may have heard of
called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Oh hey, thanks Quinn number one with zombies.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
That yeah, that was that was supposed to be a joke.
Because we hear that you work as a cheerleader zombie
at a haunted house.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
I do.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Yeah, yeah, we hear you make quite the sexy cheerleader
dead cheerleader.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
What that weird?
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Yeah, our compliments are off Today's Yeah, we heard about
you from one of our listeners though, named Anthony, who
you went out with?
Speaker 8 (08:23):
What what are you talking about?
Speaker 5 (08:27):
You went on a date with him, right, That's what
we heard because we do this segment called the Second
Date Update, and we're trying to help Anthony figure out
why after your date at the bar, you've been acting
a little bit cold towards him in the Haunted House.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Or maybe he's reading it wrong. I mean you never know.
He feels like maybe you're avoiding him for some reason.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
Yeah, and I mean not like normal zombie cold. I
mean like extra inner person cold.
Speaker 8 (08:52):
Yeah, I guess. So, I mean I don't know all
you want me to say.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
Well, I mean did you like him?
Speaker 8 (08:59):
I mean I thought I liked him?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Okay, he did something, didn't he? I knew it? Like
it just he said that you even changed areas in
the Haunted House. Did he do something to offend you?
Speaker 8 (09:10):
I mean, it's just we just didn't see eye to
eye on some stuff and it's just not gonna work basically.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Okay, So you're not mad, you just don't want a datum.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
And you mean like I to eye, not like zombie eyes. Okay,
in that way you mean something because like I said,
he told us that you guys went out. I mean
from his perspective, everything was really great.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
And you were clicking. You were talking about he said,
childhood memories and Halloween and fun stuff, and you had
a nice hug.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
So which part of it was bad to you?
Speaker 8 (09:44):
I mean, yeah, that was all nice. But I was
flirting with him, and I just made this comment blurting like,
you know, if things work out between us, we'd be
the house that gives out like the full size candy bars.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Oh yeah, you're a flirt.
Speaker 8 (10:01):
Yeah, and yeah. That's when it just kind of went
downhill for me.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
So why.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
Because he just got all practical. He kept saying, like,
do you know how much that's going to cost in
the future.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
He broke down the mathematics of handing out full sized candy.
Speaker 8 (10:24):
Bars exactly that, Like he said, full sized candy bars
are going to be like five bucks apiece. And then
he's like, you give out like one hundred that's five
hundred dollars and bull size candy bars?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Is he buying five dollars?
Speaker 5 (10:41):
I guess he does have a point.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
But so you're just saying it was like.
Speaker 8 (10:46):
Not cute, No, it was not cute because I think
he was being one hundred percent serious, Like he went
on to say, like, oh, next thing, you know, our
kids are not going to college because.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Took up the college. I think everybody wants to be
that house. So fun to get lectured after you flirt
with somebody.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
Are you sure he's not joking, like.
Speaker 8 (11:13):
If no, no, I mean I did think he was
joking at first, But when I giggled, you know, he
was like hard up now, like you have to be
smart with money.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
I was like, Okay, it's weird, but listen, you guys
don't know each other all that well. Is that fair
to say?
Speaker 8 (11:31):
I mean, yeah, we we know each other as zombies
more than as people.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
I guess we've only worked together for this first year
in the Haunted House. You there's a chance you could
have misinterpreted what he was saying, and he may have
been just playing along the whole time, jokingly, like it's
a weird thing to say, like down the road, we're
gonna give out full sized candy bars. Maybe maybe he
was trying to joke back and you didn't get it,
and we should find out because Anthony's actually already on
(11:56):
the phone.
Speaker 8 (11:58):
Oh boom, we scared you.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
He's like the chainsaw guy at the end of the
Hated House, the honted phone line.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Anthony, there, I'm here. Okay, tell me that you were
just having fun with her with that that was a joke.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
No, I was being curious what you could have just
lied right now and just said it was a joke.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
You didn't have to.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
Be set you up.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
I don't think it's that big a deal. That's honestly
how I feel, like, why should I laugh? Why should
I lie?
Speaker 8 (12:27):
So because it's my dream, it's not important to you.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
If your dream is bankrupt our future family, then yeah,
like you're serious about this, Anthony, Well it's a bad idea.
Our kids really wouldn't be able to go to college.
All that money you're staying on Candy, we should be
investing in like a college fund.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Okay. I think she was just trying to flirt with you, Anthony.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Yeah, I mean I guess, But like I take financial
literacy very seriously.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
You know what's probably why you have a second job. Yeah,
you do have a point, Anthony, because I didn't even
think about all the dentist bills that you're going to
rack up with those full sized can you're.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Handing them out your own kids are eating them.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Jeffrey, you know that you eat the own candy. You
know that better than anybody.
Speaker 8 (13:19):
But oh please, I bet he wouldn't even let our
kids have a full sized candy bar.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Good point.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
How many kids are you guys playing on having?
Speaker 5 (13:28):
How many fake zombie children are we having in the future?
Speaker 8 (13:30):
Exactly zero? Because I'm not going to be with him.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Oh, I just think it's kind of silly to be
arguing and deciding your dating life over future fictitious full
sized candy bars with your kids that don't even exist yet.
Speaker 8 (13:45):
I have a big deal.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I might put this on my dating profiles I've left
if you're not a full bar household.
Speaker 8 (13:51):
Yeah, he's making our fake children way more important than
the real me right.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Now, that's true. I mean, Anthony, don't you think that
Quinn is more important than your fake children down the road?
Speaker 4 (14:03):
So weird when you put it that way, like not
really like.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Oh, you care more about your future children.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
That's a good.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Fighter, anyone, listen. Yeah, don't shame imaginary dad.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
I mean, there's a reason that they make the fun
sized candy bars though, Like that's a good compromise. Everybody
size are not good?
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Yeah, like how I bit her arm one and that'll
never happen again.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Is that something she's supposed to be disappointed?
Speaker 4 (14:35):
I think you know, I'm the best fighter in the
whole haunted house.
Speaker 8 (14:39):
He acts like I have somebody to compare him with.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Well, this is weird. I just think that you guys
maybe are a little bit stressed out working together in
this haunted house. Once the spooky season is over, cooler
heads prevail, you guys are going to want to go
out again.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Yeah. I mean, if you guys are paying for it,
then that's the smart financial thing to do.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
So is that actually what you call just them?
Speaker 7 (15:09):
No?
Speaker 4 (15:11):
I believe it.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Well that's kind of a yes from Anthony Quinn.
Speaker 8 (15:16):
Well, Anthony, I have a question for you at Christmas time?
How many presents would our fake children have?
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (15:22):
Good question.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
I mean they'll be getting savings bonds and the amount
depends on the interest rate.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Boring stufford I got a banknote?
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Yeah, well, hey, compounding interest is nine point six percent
right now?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Hey, buddy, I'm getting hot over here.
Speaker 8 (15:45):
Talk like that freaking Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
You see, this is exactly why you never date your
co workers, whether it's in an office building or in
a haunted house.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
I was gonna say that's kind.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
Of a yeah, but it's the same deal. Now, just
imagine how awkward it's going to be in that haunted house.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
And I love that there's some drama and behind the
haunted house. Yeah, like a couple of fights happen on
walking through it. Yeah, I'm going to scare her.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
He's going to have to bite her, and she's going
to be like, I'm already dead. It's just going to
be weird in there now. So that's just a good
thing to remember. Do not date your co workers. That
is what I have to say. That is my yes.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Right. I thought it was like, maybe be a little
bit more fun if you're going to be working at
haunted house.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Yeah, so stiff financially literate zombie is.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
He's going to pull out his ten key and do
some of your taxes.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
He was a cannibal chef, so it's gonna come out
like the stock market.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
You have to raise the prices of eyeballs again because
of inflation.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
Oh my god, it's terrifying. Yeah, but uh yeah, I'm
sorry it didn't work out for those two.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Yeah, me too, but it's probably for the best.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
It is for the best, and remember we can help
you with your dating life. If you want us to,
just email the show. We'll call the person who was
in calling you back.
All right, we're gonna do it together. It's Monday. Wow.
My voice is just touch and go. That's a Monday voice.
That is voice.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
And we're kicking off Hallo week. You know Jeff Jeffrey
calling it hunts Tobers.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
I honestly can't understand him when he says it's.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
I thought he was saying hot Tober. I didn't really
know what he was saying. It was all over the place.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
The most important part of this is that you need
to follow our socials.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
We're gonna have so much fun this week getting into
the speaky spirit.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
And that is definitely the case today with your Second
Date update. But before we always do your comments.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
What do you got?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Alexis Yes, Joe Will said, been an avid fan and
because of y'all, my mom threatened to call an exorcist
on me. Constantly catch me cackling alone, Jeff playing on
my AirPods.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Defend me, y'all, just wait till your head starts spinning
in circles.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
No love, We love it.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Keep those comments coming and enjoy the Second Date update.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
It starts right now.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
Second Date Update.
Speaker 6 (01:01):
Vampires wear Wolves, cool gools and goblins all terrifying for sure,
but we all know nothing is scarier than dating in
the modern world. That's the sound of someone getting blocked
on Tinder.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Are we allowed to do a horror film? Is that
what we're allowed to do right now?
Speaker 5 (01:22):
That's what we're in right now, because if you could imagine,
we're getting a lot of emails from people who are
meeting other single people during the spooky season. Yeah, for sure,
it's even meeting them in person.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Scared Alexis, who.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Would be brave enough to do such a thing? Our listener, Anthony, Oh, cool,
a girl in person and needs our help. Anthony, what's up?
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Hey, guys?
Speaker 1 (01:49):
You cool? Where'd you meet this lady?
Speaker 4 (01:54):
So we work in a hunted house together?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Oh are you guys? Like the actors and the.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Yeah, yeah, I'm a cannibal cook. She's a zombie cheerleader.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
What's her name? Her name is Quinn Quinn okay and
the zombie cheerleader.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
This is something that I do every year. I've been
doing it. So I was like, you know, a teenager, wow,
and this is her first year there. But I know
this probably sounds weird, but you know, when she does
her like dead zombie boys, I think it's pretty hot.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
How did you guys get to talking or were your
friends you know, all spooky season?
Speaker 5 (02:42):
How do you flirt in a haunted house?
Speaker 4 (02:44):
So we do like a couple of scenes together. It's
like this scene where she's like strapped to a table
and I like take a bite out of her arm.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Yeah, there's definitely like some flirtation there, you know. Oh yeah,
I missed your arm.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
And now we're making out. Yeah, That's how I flirt
even when I'm not in a haunted house.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
So I feel you and it's a fun vibe too.
I've like volunteered as an actor before on a haunted house. Yeah,
and like backstage, they like do your makeup, So there's
like downtime too. I assume you guys have connected outside
of you just eating her arm.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Yeah, yeah, you know, I asked her out and so
we went to a bar after work one night.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Oh my god, were you still in makeup?
Speaker 7 (03:29):
No, we have a shower there so we can like
shower and change and stuff before we go home. But
I mean, I go to a bar and you know,
that was kind of like the first time I'd really
actually seen her without the makeup on, and she she
looked even hotter without like a bloody massa.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
It's a bad sign if you say she looks way
hotter when she's bloody.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, she's somehow more pale. Yeah, strange.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
All right, well that's good news. What did you guys do?
Speaker 4 (03:55):
I mean, we just like mostly like we had some drinks,
talk about Halloween, like different costumes that we wore when
we were kids, our favorite candy, you know, like childhood
memories and stuff like that.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
I shouldn't even ask what your favorite candy is. I
don't want to start a fight because there's only one
right answer, candy corn.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
But what is that what you said? That is why
she's not calling you back. I didn't even know.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
This guy. Oh wow, I'm kidding.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
I'm kidding, dudes. So that's cool that you guys bonded
over old Halloween memories. That sounds fun.
Speaker 8 (04:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
So you know it's like we got we got like
a little close.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
We didn't kiss, but there was definitely like feels like
we were feeling each other and you know, we like
hugged good night, and I was like, Okay, this was fun,
I'll see you tomorrow. Awesome. But then the next day
she was like moved to a totally different room in
the haunted house like on the other side.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Oh no, is that by chance or do you think
she asked to be moved?
Speaker 4 (04:52):
I don't know, Like, I don't know if you like
requested it or if it was just, like, you know,
part of the regular rotation. But I did see her,
and she's I think, kind of cold, and she's maybe.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Really in character.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
Yeah cold body. Yeah who that sucks. Now you have
to bite somebody else's arm.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
It's been weird.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Is she not answering my text or like my Instagram messages?
And uh kind of bumming me out? So I'm hoping
that you can help me.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
I mean, is there anything looking back on your night
at the bar that you think maybe you did wrong
that could have turned her off?
Speaker 4 (05:24):
I mean I thought about that, but honestly, I can't
think of anything.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Maybe she was just using you for your brains, I mean,
she is a zombie.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Or maybe you bit her arm too hard. Oh wow,
she needs just a little soft nibble.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
I guess that's possible. I mean, I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
It sounds like she's definitely avoiding you.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Let's call this undead cheerleader and ask her what's up,
We're gonna play a song, come back and get you
your Halloween themed second date update. Right after this second
date update, you've seen Hannibal lecter, but have you seen
Hannibal in love? Oh?
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Even Hannibal deserves love?
Speaker 5 (06:01):
A man in a mask nibbling on a zombie cheerleader's
arm while they both sip on a cold can of
blood light Actually, but what he really has his eyes
set on is her heart?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Oh? Does she still have one?
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Not just to eat, but to have forever? What's happening
with one of our listeners, Anthony, who met a girl
named Quinn while they both worked together at a haunted house.
But after they went out, she was moved to a
different room and she's been acting kind of cold towards him.
So we're going to call her and ask what gives Brooke?
How optimistic are you that this ends in a date
(06:39):
because it sounds kind of romantic to me?
Speaker 1 (06:42):
It did. I thought it sounded really romantic until she
got moved And I think she may have done that
on purpose, which is not a good sign that I mean,
it sounds like she wants nothing to do with you.
Did you insult her in some way?
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I told her that she looks better without all the
bloody zombie makeup.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
But oh, how a horrible thing to say to a woman.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I don't know. Maybe a vampire swooped in and got
her first, you know, yeah, fell in another moment. Yeah,
maybe just don't calm out like women's makeup.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
I was just gonna say, some women get offended and
look into things, and Alexis.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Proved the point.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
All right, well let's stop speculating and start getting some answers. Look,
we're gonna call Quinn right here. You ready, Anthony, I'm ready,
all right, here we go.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Hello, mm hmm, I don't know. I was expecting a zombie.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
That's a bummer. Hey is this Quinn?
Speaker 8 (07:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (07:45):
They were a radio show you may have heard of
called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Oh hey, thanks Quinn number one with zombies.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
That yeah, that was that was supposed to be a joke.
Because we hear that you work as a cheerleader zombie
at a haunted house.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
I do.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Yeah, yeah, we hear you make quite the sexy cheerleader
dead cheerleader.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
What that weird?
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Yeah, our compliments are off Today's Yeah, we heard about
you from one of our listeners though, named Anthony, who
you went out with?
Speaker 8 (08:23):
What what are you talking about?
Speaker 5 (08:27):
You went on a date with him, right, That's what
we heard because we do this segment called the Second
Date Update, and we're trying to help Anthony figure out
why after your date at the bar, you've been acting
a little bit cold towards him in the Haunted House.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Or maybe he's reading it wrong. I mean you never know.
He feels like maybe you're avoiding him for some reason.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
Yeah, and I mean not like normal zombie cold. I
mean like extra inner person cold.
Speaker 8 (08:52):
Yeah, I guess. So, I mean I don't know all
you want me to say.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
Well, I mean did you like him?
Speaker 8 (08:59):
I mean I thought I liked him?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Okay, he did something, didn't he? I knew it? Like
it just he said that you even changed areas in
the Haunted House. Did he do something to offend you?
Speaker 8 (09:10):
I mean, it's just we just didn't see eye to
eye on some stuff and it's just not gonna work basically.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Okay, So you're not mad, you just don't want a datum.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
And you mean like I to eye, not like zombie eyes. Okay,
in that way you mean something because like I said,
he told us that you guys went out. I mean
from his perspective, everything was really great.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
And you were clicking. You were talking about he said,
childhood memories and Halloween and fun stuff, and you had
a nice hug.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
So which part of it was bad to you?
Speaker 8 (09:44):
I mean, yeah, that was all nice. But I was
flirting with him, and I just made this comment blurting like,
you know, if things work out between us, we'd be
the house that gives out like the full size candy bars.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Oh yeah, you're a flirt.
Speaker 8 (10:01):
Yeah, and yeah. That's when it just kind of went
downhill for me.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
So why.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
Because he just got all practical. He kept saying, like,
do you know how much that's going to cost in
the future.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
He broke down the mathematics of handing out full sized candy.
Speaker 8 (10:24):
Bars exactly that, Like he said, full sized candy bars
are going to be like five bucks apiece. And then
he's like, you give out like one hundred that's five
hundred dollars and bull size candy bars?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Is he buying five dollars?
Speaker 5 (10:41):
I guess he does have a point.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
But so you're just saying it was like.
Speaker 8 (10:46):
Not cute, No, it was not cute because I think
he was being one hundred percent serious, Like he went
on to say, like, oh, next thing, you know, our
kids are not going to college because.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Took up the college. I think everybody wants to be
that house. So fun to get lectured after you flirt
with somebody.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
Are you sure he's not joking, like.
Speaker 8 (11:13):
If no, no, I mean I did think he was
joking at first, But when I giggled, you know, he
was like hard up now, like you have to be
smart with money.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
I was like, Okay, it's weird, but listen, you guys
don't know each other all that well. Is that fair
to say?
Speaker 8 (11:31):
I mean, yeah, we we know each other as zombies
more than as people.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
I guess we've only worked together for this first year
in the Haunted House. You there's a chance you could
have misinterpreted what he was saying, and he may have
been just playing along the whole time, jokingly, like it's
a weird thing to say, like down the road, we're
gonna give out full sized candy bars. Maybe maybe he
was trying to joke back and you didn't get it,
and we should find out because Anthony's actually already on
(11:56):
the phone.
Speaker 8 (11:58):
Oh boom, we scared you.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
He's like the chainsaw guy at the end of the
Hated House, the honted phone line.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Anthony, there, I'm here. Okay, tell me that you were
just having fun with her with that that was a joke.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
No, I was being curious what you could have just
lied right now and just said it was a joke.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
You didn't have to.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
Be set you up.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
I don't think it's that big a deal. That's honestly
how I feel, like, why should I laugh? Why should
I lie?
Speaker 8 (12:27):
So because it's my dream, it's not important to you.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
If your dream is bankrupt our future family, then yeah,
like you're serious about this, Anthony, Well it's a bad idea.
Our kids really wouldn't be able to go to college.
All that money you're staying on Candy, we should be
investing in like a college fund.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Okay. I think she was just trying to flirt with you, Anthony.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Yeah, I mean I guess, But like I take financial
literacy very seriously.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
You know what's probably why you have a second job. Yeah,
you do have a point, Anthony, because I didn't even
think about all the dentist bills that you're going to
rack up with those full sized can you're.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Handing them out your own kids are eating them.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Jeffrey, you know that you eat the own candy. You
know that better than anybody.
Speaker 8 (13:19):
But oh please, I bet he wouldn't even let our
kids have a full sized candy bar.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Good point.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
How many kids are you guys playing on having?
Speaker 5 (13:28):
How many fake zombie children are we having in the future?
Speaker 8 (13:30):
Exactly zero? Because I'm not going to be with him.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Oh, I just think it's kind of silly to be
arguing and deciding your dating life over future fictitious full
sized candy bars with your kids that don't even exist yet.
Speaker 8 (13:45):
I have a big deal.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I might put this on my dating profiles I've left
if you're not a full bar household.
Speaker 8 (13:51):
Yeah, he's making our fake children way more important than
the real me right.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
Now, that's true. I mean, Anthony, don't you think that
Quinn is more important than your fake children down the road?
Speaker 4 (14:03):
So weird when you put it that way, like not
really like.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Oh, you care more about your future children.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
That's a good.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Fighter, anyone, listen. Yeah, don't shame imaginary dad.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
I mean, there's a reason that they make the fun
sized candy bars though, Like that's a good compromise. Everybody
size are not good?
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Yeah, like how I bit her arm one and that'll
never happen again.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Is that something she's supposed to be disappointed?
Speaker 4 (14:35):
I think you know, I'm the best fighter in the
whole haunted house.
Speaker 8 (14:39):
He acts like I have somebody to compare him with.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Well, this is weird. I just think that you guys
maybe are a little bit stressed out working together in
this haunted house. Once the spooky season is over, cooler
heads prevail, you guys are going to want to go
out again.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Yeah. I mean, if you guys are paying for it,
then that's the smart financial thing to do.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
So is that actually what you call just them?
Speaker 7 (15:09):
No?
Speaker 4 (15:11):
I believe it.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Well that's kind of a yes from Anthony Quinn.
Speaker 8 (15:16):
Well, Anthony, I have a question for you at Christmas time?
How many presents would our fake children have?
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (15:22):
Good question.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
I mean they'll be getting savings bonds and the amount
depends on the interest rate.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Boring stufford I got a banknote?
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Yeah, well, hey, compounding interest is nine point six percent
right now?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Hey, buddy, I'm getting hot over here.
Speaker 8 (15:45):
Talk like that freaking Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
You see, this is exactly why you never date your
co workers, whether it's in an office building or in
a haunted house.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
I was gonna say that's kind.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
Of a yeah, but it's the same deal. Now, just
imagine how awkward it's going to be in that haunted house.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
And I love that there's some drama and behind the
haunted house. Yeah, like a couple of fights happen on
walking through it. Yeah, I'm going to scare her.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
He's going to have to bite her, and she's going
to be like, I'm already dead. It's just going to
be weird in there now. So that's just a good
thing to remember. Do not date your co workers. That
is what I have to say. That is my yes.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Right. I thought it was like, maybe be a little
bit more fun if you're going to be working at
haunted house.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Yeah, so stiff financially literate zombie is.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
He's going to pull out his ten key and do
some of your taxes.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
He was a cannibal chef, so it's gonna come out
like the stock market.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
You have to raise the prices of eyeballs again because
of inflation.
Speaker 5 (16:59):
Oh my god, it's terrifying. Yeah, but uh yeah, I'm
sorry it didn't work out for those two.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Yeah, me too, but it's probably for the best.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
It is for the best, and remember we can help
you with your dating life. If you want us to,
just email the show. We'll call the person who was
in calling you back.
