Speaker 1

Second D vampires, werewolves, school schools, and goblins all terrifying for sure. Yeah, but we all know nothing is scarier than dating in the modern world. That's the sound of someone getting blocked on Tinder? Are we allowed to do a horror film? Is that what we're allowed to do right now? 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 fun time to meet, even meeting them in person. As who 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? Hey, guys, how you doing cool? Where'd you meet this lady? So? We work in a hunted house together? Oh? Are you guys like the actors in the house? Yeah? Yeah, we um.

I'm a cannibal cook. Nice. She's a zombie cheerleader. What's her name? Her name is Quinn? Quinn okay, okay, yeah, and the zombie cheerleader. 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. Oh how did you guys get to talking or were you friends? You know all

spooky seasons? Yeah? How how do you flirt in a haunted house? So we do like a couple of scenes together. Okay, it's like this scene where where she's like strapped to a table and I like take a bite out of her arm. Nice, that is sexy. Yeah, so there's definitely like some flirtation there, you know. Oh yeah, I missed your arm and now we're making out. Yeah, that's how I flirt even when I'm not in a haunted house. So I feel you and it's a fun vibe too.

I've like volunteered as an actor before on a haunted house or whatever. 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. Yeah? Yeah, um, you know I asked her out and so we went to a bar after work one night. Oh my god, were you still in makeup? No? We we have a shower there so we can like shower and chained and stuff before we go home, but I mean out 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 mass. Yeah. It's a bad sign if you say she looks hotter when she's bloody. Yeah, she's somehow more pale. Yeah, strange. All right, well that's good news.

What did you guys do? I mean, we just like mostly like we had some drinks, talk about Halloween, like different costumes that we were when we were kids, our favorite candy, you know, like childhood memories and stuff like that. I shouldn't even ask what your favorite candy is. I don't want to start a fight. Yeah, because there's only one right answer. Oh candy corn. Oh is that what you said? That is why she's not calling you back. I didn't even let's hang up on this guy. Oh wow,

I'm just I'm kidding. I'm kidding, dudes. It's so that's cool. You guys bonded over old Halloween memories. That sounds fun. Yeah. So you know it's like we got we got like a little close. 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.

Oh no, oh no. Is that by chance or do you think she asked to be moved. 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, like kind of cold, and she's yeah, it's cold body. Yeah? Who? I mean, that sucks night you have to bite somebody else's arms? Been weird? Is she not answering my text or like my Instagram messages and kind of bumming me out?

So I'm hoping that you can help me. 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? I mean I thought about that, but honestly, I can't think of anything. Maybe she was just using you for your brains. I mean, she is a zombie, or maybe you bit her arm too hard, she needs just a little soft nibble. I guess that's possible. I mean, I have no idea. Well, it sounds like

she's definitely avoiding you. Let's call this undead cheerleader and ask her what's up. We're going to play a song, come back, and get you your Halloween themed second date update. You've seen Hannibal lecter, but have you seen Hannibal in love? Even Hannibal deserves love. Maybe not a man in a mask nibbling on a zombie cheerleader's arm while they both sip on a cold can of blood light. But what he really has his eyes set on is her heart? Oh does she still have one? If she's a zombie?

Not just to eat, but to have forever? All Right, 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 Brook? How optimistic are you that this ends in a day, because it sounds kind of romantic to me? 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? I told her that she looks better without all the bloody zombie makeup? But oh, how cool? A horrible thing to say to a woman. I don't know. Maybe a vampire swooped in and got her first, you know, yeah, fell in love with another moment. Yeah, maybe just don't

call out like women's makeup. I don't know. I think general. I was just gonna say, some women get offended and look into things, and Alexis proved the point. Ye. All right, Well let's stop speculating and start getting some answers. Look, we're gonna call Quinn right here. You're ready, Anthony, I'm ready, All right, Here we go. Hello. M h. I don't know. I was expecting the zombie. That's a bummer. Hey is

this Quinn? Yeah? They we're a radio show you may have heard of called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Oh heyl place. Quinn Number one was zombies. That was yeah, that was supposed to be a joke. Because we hear that you work as a cheerleader zombie at a haunted house. I do. Yeah, yeah, we hear you make quite the sexy cheerleader dead cheerleader. What yeah? Yeah, our compliments are off today. Um your gross. Yeah. We heard about you from one of our listeners though, named Anthony, who you

went out with. What what are you talking about? You went on a date with him, right, that's what we heard because we do this segment called a 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. Or maybe he's reading it wrong. I mean you never don't. He feels like maybe you're avoiding him for some reason. Yeah, and I mean not like normal zombie cold. I mean

like extra inner person cold. Yeah. I guess so. I mean I don't know all you want me to say? Well, I mean, did you like him? I mean I thought I liked him? 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? I mean, it's just we just didn't see eye to eye on some stuff and it's just not going to work. Basically, you're not mad, you just don't want to date them. And you mean like ida eye,

not like zombie eyes in that way. You mean something because, like I said, he told us that you guys went out, and from his perspective, everything was really great and you're clicking. You were talking about he said, childhood memories and Halloween and fun stuff, and you had a nice hug. So which part of it was bad to you? I mean, yeah, that was all nice, But I was flirting with him, and I just made this comment flirting like, you know, if things work out between us, we'd be the house

that gives out like the full size candy bar. Oh yeah, wow, flirt Yeah, And yeah. That's when it just kind of went downhill for me. So why because he just got all practical. He kept saying, like, do you know how much that's going to cost in the future? Oh God. He broke down the mathematics of handing out full sized candy bars on exactly that, Like he said, full sized candy bars are going to be like five bucks a piece, and then he's like, you give out like a hundred

that's five hundred dollars and full size candy bars buys. Okay, I mean I guess point. But so you're just saying it was like 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 call it because up, everybody wants to be that house so fun

to get lectured after you flirt with something. Are you sure he's not joking, like if no, No, I mean I did think he was joking at first, but when I giggled you know else, he was like hard up, no, okay, like you have to be smart with money. I was like, okay, it's definitely weird. But listen, you guys don't know each other all that well. Is that fair to say? I mean, yeah, we know each other as zombies more than as people. I guess you'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 going to give out full size candy bars. Maybe maybe jo maybe he was trying to joke back and you didn't get it, and we should find out because Anthony's actually already on the phone. Oh like the chainsaw guy

at the end of the Anthony there, I'm here. Okay, tell me that you were just having fun with her with that. That was a joke. No, I was being curious what you could have just lied right now, and that was a joke. You didn't have to be set you up. I don't think it's that big a deal. That's honestly how I feel, like, why should I Why should I lie? So because it's my dream, it's not

important to you. If your dream 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 saying on candy we should be investing in like a college fund. Okay. I think she was just trying to flirt with you, Anthony. Yeah, I mean I guess, but like i'd take financial literacy very seriously. You know, it's probably why you have a

second job. Yeah, you do have a point, Anthony, because I didn't even think about all the denist bills that you're going to rack up with those full sized kids. You're handing them out. Your own kids are eating them, Jeffrey, you know that you eat the own candy. You know that better than anybody. Oh please, I bet he wouldn't even let our kids have a full sized candy bar. How many kids? How many fake zombie children are we having in the future? Exactly zero? Because I'm not going

to be with him. 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. I have a big deal. I might put this on my dating profile. Left if you're not a full bar household. Yeah, he's making our fake children way more important than the real me right now. It's true. I mean, Anthony, don't you think that Quinn is more important than your fake children down the road?

When you put it that way, like not really like, oh care about children? Now? That's a good fight, anyone, listen. Yeah, don't shame it. Iaginary dad. I mean, there's a reason that they make the fun size candy bars though, Like that's a good compromise. Everybody are not good? Yeah, like how I bit her arm one bitter and that'll never happen again. Is that something she's supposed to be disappointed in? You don't have the best fighter in the whole haunted house.

He acts like I have somebody to compare him with. 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. Yeah. I mean, if you guys are paying for it, then that's the smart financial thing to do. So is that actually why you call? Uh? No, I believe it? Well, that's kind of a yes from Anthony Quinn. Well, Anthony,

I have a question for you at Christmas time? How many presents would our fake children have? Oh? Good question. I mean they'll be getting savings bonds and the amount depends on the interest tran boring. I got a bank note. Yeah, well, hey, compounding interest is nine point six right now? Okay, buddy, I'm getting hot over here. That Jeffrey in the morning. You see, this is exactly why you never date your co workers. Whether it's in an office building or in

a haunted house. I was gonna say, that's kind of a big situation. Yeah, but it's the same deal. Now, just imagine how awkward it's gonna be in that haunted house. Dude. I love that there's some drama and behind the haunted house. Yeah, I wanted like a couple of fights to happen. I'm walking through it. Yeah, I'm gonna scare he's gonna have to bite her and she's gonna be like, oh, I'm already dead. It's just gonna 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 from Yes, it was like, maybe be a little bit more fun if you're gonna be working at haunted house. Yeah, that's so stiff financially literate zombie. Yeah, he's gonna pull out his ten key and do some of your taxes. He was a cannibal chef, so I come out like the stock market to raise the prices

of eyeballs again because of inflation. Oh my god, that's terrified. Yeah, but uh yeah, I'm sorry it didn't work out for those two. Yeah, I mean too, but it's probably for the best. 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 wasn't calling you back. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning,
