Trying to get back in the dating world is hard when you've recently gone through a divorce. And that's why you should date people while you're still married.

No. Don't ever lose practice, you know. I'm no relationship expert. Definitely not. I should be. Anyway, Matthew is on the phone right now, and that's what he said in his email. He's recently divorced, decided to get back into the dating world, and now somebody's not calling him back. What's up, Matthew? How are you?

I'm good. How are you? Oh, man. How long has it been since you were in the dating world? Well, I was married for five years, and then I got divorced, and I didn't date again for at least two years. Oh, dang. Okay. It's a long time. It's been a minute. So the girl you want to call today, what's her name?

Her name is Charlotte. Charlotte, all right. And how did you meet Charlotte? Online. Okay, and is this the first time you've ever done online dating? It was the first time I've done any dating. In a long time.

Okay, so Charlotte is your first foray, foray, what's the word there? I don't know. Foray, I think. Yeah. Soiree. Soiree. Soiree. Some sort of A.

Yeah. It's his first date. The first date since he's been divorced. Yes, that's correct. Okay, and how did things go with Charlotte? I think it went really well. We met for coffee, and I thought it went really well, and she made me laugh a lot. She was very funny and very smart and very nice and very pretty.

Okay, okay, and how were you feeling? Were you nervous? I was at the beginning. I was really nervous because I hadn't been on a date in a really long time. And I was engaged for a long time. I was married for five years. And I just didn't think I knew how to do this.

And she made me really relaxed. I don't know. She made it really easy. So all you guys did was coffee or did you do something else? Oh, no, we just had coffee. And then I did invite her to a Halloween party. A friend of mine was having at their house. Okay. And did she go to the party with you? I don't know. That's uh, you don't know if she would.

That might be okay. So yeah, here's the tip since you're getting back into dating. Know if the person is there, let's start with that and then baby step it the rest of the way. What do you mean you don't know? It was a costume party. So I never asked her what costume she was going to wear.

Wait, you just had her meet you at a friend's house in full costume? Yeah, I know. We should have set a clear place to meet

and time to meet and, you know, I should have said to meet me at the front of the house and it just, I didn't think about it. Yeah.

And the cell phone reception was really bad. And I couldn't get a hold of her. And everyone's wearing masks. So I couldn't tell who's who. So were you just walking around the party? How did you even try to find her? Everyone I ran into, I just kept asking them, would you please explain? I'm trying to find the date here.

I don't know what she's wearing. Would you please take off your mask? And after about 40 times, you know, it took forever. And it was really bad. Yeah, that sounds terrible. So wait, what do you think? Do you think she didn't go or do you think that you just missed her? I don't know.

I spent the whole night looking for her and she either left really annoyed with me, which I would totally understand, or God forbid she left with someone else. Yeah. Man, did you try to get a hold of her after? I'm assuming you did. I did, and she hasn't answered. First of all, even if it doesn't go anywhere, I just want to apologize, because I feel like I invited her to a friend's house.

She didn't know anyone. It's just really not a nice thing to do, and I feel pretty terrible about that. Right, because she's either not responding to you because she wants thing to do. And I feel pretty terrible about that. Right, because she's either like not responding to you because she wants nothing to do with you because she didn't like you or because she's mad at you because she felt she got ditched at the party. Yeah, I felt like a complete idiot.

And I spent pretty much the whole night alone talking to people in weird masks. Sounds fun to me. Yeah, and frankly, I was trying to avoid conversations with people. It was just a weird thing to be able to go, can I see your mask? And say, no, next. I couldn't do that.

I forgot to ask you, what did you dress up as for Halloween? Were you also wearing a mask? I was like a scary dude. I had like a mask. Oh, scary dude. That's a popular one. Yeah, I had like a mask, and I had this jacket and, you know, like bloody pants kind of stuff. Definitely sounds like a scary dude.

But I mean, she wouldn't have been able to recognize you either from the sounds of it. Well, I had my mask off for the rest of the evening because I was trying to find her. But I don't know. I had makeup on as well under my eyes. Okay. I just want to at least say I'm sorry. Yeah. Well, we'll play a song and then come back and get your second date update. Okay. Okay. I just want to at least say I'm sorry. Yeah. Well, we'll play a song and then come back

and get your second date update, okay? Okay. Thank you. Hang on. Moving 92.5. Brooke and Jubal in the Morning's Second Date Update. Right in the middle of a second date update, and if you're just joining us, Matthew is on the phone,

and he wants to call a girl named Charlotte. They actually hung out for coffee, but really the date was supposed to be when they met up at a Halloween party. The only problem was Matthew is newly divorced, hasn't dated in a long, long time, and forgot, oh, when you make plans with somebody, you should also decide when and where to meet up. So he just invited her to the party and figured he'd find her there, except it's a Halloween party and everybody was wearing masks and he couldn't find her. He just spent the whole party walking around asking people to take off their masks to see if it was her. Hey, Matthew, I don't know if you're going to get a second date or not, but I can probably guarantee you're not going to be invited to many more parties. Nobody wants to invite the weird guy there that's just walking around being like, hey, take off your mask and show me who you are.

Yeah, I didn't feel very cool. I'll say that. Yeah. I do feel, though, that you shouldn't take full responsibility because she could have also said, like, hey, where are we going to meet? Or ask other important questions about how to find each other at said party before it went down. Yeah, I just totally underestimated the number of people that were going to be there. I just thought it would be a few people and we'd all kind of check out each other's

costumes and just eat some cheese or something. Yeah. Every good Halloween party has people sitting around eating cheese in small numbers. All right. I'm going to dial her phone number right now and see if we can figure out why she's not calling you back, okay?

Okay. And even if she completely hates me and has no further interest. I just want to at least say I'm sorry Yeah, we're standing her up unwittingly. It's a rookie mistake. You haven't been dating a long time. All right. I'm a dollar phone right now Hello, I'm asking to Charlotte, please Hello? Hi, may I speak to Charlotte, please? This is Charlotte. Hey, Charlotte, how are you? This is Jubal from the radio show Brooke and Jubal in the Morning. Who?

Jubal from Brooke and Jubal in the Morning. It's a radio show. I'm sorry, I've never heard of you. Oh, well, I've heard of you, if that means anything. Oh, my gosh. That came off so creepy. Yeah, it did.

What? It's true, Charlotte. We've all heard of you, though. Yeah. How would you hear of me? Well, because we do a segment on our show. It's called The Second Date Updates, where if you go out on a date with somebody and don't call them back after, they can email us to get you on the phone and find out what happened.

And we got an email about you from a dude named Matthew. You probably remember him. He likes coffee dates. He also likes to invite people to Halloween parties and not tell them where to show up so that you both awkwardly look for each other all night. Yeah, I know what you're talking about. Oh my gosh, are you mad at Matthew? No, I'm not mad at him. I'm just kind of, it didn't work out. That's all. You know, it didn't work out. Well, how do you know it didn't really work out if you guys didn't actually spend any time together, really? He told us you had the coffee pretty quickly, but he said that he spent the whole night looking for you at that Halloween party.

He feels really bad that he didn't, you know, tell you where to meet. Well, I just, I didn't go. You didn't go to the halloween party at all oh man no oh no way were you not even interested in him after coffee then no he was nice at first then he this is i don't know this i don't want to talk bad about the guy you know it just didn't work out can you give us any specifics on why? He's kind of desperate. I mean, like, he's new to dating. He's a little vulnerable.

He doesn't know what he's doing. No, he's just, he got really weird guys. Like, he was really peculiar. Really? Yeah, how so? We talked to him. He sounds pretty normal to me. Oh, you talked to him?

Did he tell you that he was really, really into taking Halloween to a whole nother level? What do you mean a whole nother level? For me, it sounded like he was making, he was going to make Halloween a reality, right? He was totally into like serial killer stuff. Okay, that's time to check out. I'm with you, Charlotte. I'm done. What do you mean though? Okay, so there was just a lot of details that he went, for me, he went overboard with. And it just made me uncomfortable.

He told us his costume was a bad dude. That's pretty much how he described it to us. Scary dude. Yeah, scary dude. Well, yeah, well, I'm glad I didn't see it because the way he described it, I didn't want to see it. Yeah, it makes sense. Like, you meet a guy online, you go to coffee, he starts discussing

serial killer details. That is a big enough red flag, I think, for anyone. To be fair to him, because he was a nice enough guy, he was really, really into Halloween, but he was also really, really, really into serial killers, and so I couldn't tell which one he liked the most. Yeah.

That would say to me he probably is a serial killer. I have a couldn't tell which one he liked the most. Yeah. That would say to me he probably is a serial killer. I have a feeling they often don't really give all their cards right away. And they're always nice guys. They always come across as nice guys.

You're right. He was really nice and that freaks me out even more thinking about it. Yeah. And he was also very attractive. Yeah. Anytime I meet anybody

who's overly nice and attractive, I always know they're a serial killer. So I'm glad you didn't show up. Wait a second. Whose side are you on? Well, not yours, serial killer. What's going on here?

Oh, Charlotte, that's Matthew. He's actually on the other line listening to the conversation and wants to talk to you. Probably sharpening his knives while he's listening, but he's on the other line listening. Oh, my God. I'm not sharpening my knives. Okay. listening oh my god i'm i'm not sharpening my knives okay anyway charlotte i have been on the phone and i've been listening to this entire conversation and i can assure you that i am not a creepy crazy serial killer i was just it's halloween you know yeah but that's not the first

thing you say on a date with someone you've never met before. You've got a shiny plastic knife. Did you hear what you just said? Because you just referenced a plastic knife, not a steel knife, a plastic knife. Well, it's hard to know when you're saying something that's real and something that's fake when you meet someone and they're talking about serial killing. Yeah. I mean, Matthew, you've got to hear what she's saying. If you want to be a single dude that's getting ladies,

you dress up like Thor or Superman or something, not as someone who may kill you and stuff you in a trunk. I'm going to admit, I did a lot of extensive research, and I did pay attention to the details of this. But I only did it because I wanted to be really authentic because I think costumes often fall flat when you don't really pay attention to the details and let your character

become very generic. I had things like extra large shoes that had actually no pattern on the sole. I thought of things like that. You went that far. That's a lot of fun. No one cares, but it's just fun to do it. Why do you need to go that far to That's a lot of fun. No one cares, but it's just fun to do it. It's fun.

Why do you need to go that far to play a serial killer? Yeah. You're playing. It's Halloween. You're right. It's only Halloween,

but it only happens once a year, and you only have one shot to get it right. And I've been married and divorced, and I haven't had a party in a really long time,

and I just want to have fun. I just want to go crazy. I'm tired of being... See what he just said? He wants to go crazy. And he's divorced. And he might have issues with the fact that him and his wife split up. I mean, come on.

I'm not walking into that. I will say, Matthew, I'm questioning whether or not your wife is still alive. Can we contact her? No, please. She's alive, unfortunately. Yeah, if he was a real serial killer, she might not be around anymore. See what I mean?

I was kidding. It's a joke. I just wanted to say that I wanted to do it right on Halloween, and that's why I spent all this time to be really as close to authentic serial killer as I could be. Yeah, but think about it. I'm on a first date with you, and you're going on and on

about how serial killers get away with their crimes, and how they wear laces and gloves and shoes where you can't get the prints, and it just sounded like you knew way too much about serial killers. Yeah. Charlotte, that's absolutely correct,

but that's because I prepared. Prepared to do what? It's Halloween. Serial killers don't really have a look, you know. That's the point. That's not necessarily true. I have done a lot of research on them. He knows exactly what they look like, what they talk like, everything. Oh, my gosh.

Regardless, you know, it's just Halloween. It was one night. I'm really glad, actually, you know, it's just Halloween. It was one night. I'm really glad, actually, you didn't try and go to this party and I got stood up by me because I didn't tell you where we should meet. So that being said, I would love to pick up where we left off. Yeah. See, Charlotte, Matthew doesn't want to kill you. He wants to date you. So would you go on a second date with Matthew?

We'll pay for it. I have to follow my instincts, guys. And I just don't feel good about it. You know what? I'm going to be honest with you. I'm with you. I'll pay for it. I have to follow my instincts, guys, and I just don't feel good about it. You know what? I'm going to be honest with you. I'm with you. I want to like him. I do, and I want to give him the benefit of the doubt, but there's still a small chance that he could be a serial

killer, and that's still a chance. No, no, no, no. Are you starting to get angry, Matthew? I'm sensing some anger. Please, no, I swear. I'm a good person. Charlotte, are you sure? get angry, Matthew? I'm sensing some anger. Please, no, I swear. I'm a good person. Charlotte, are you sure? It sounds like Matthew just got really wrapped up in his costume.

Well, he can email me and I'll think about it, but I don't feel good about it, so probably not. Okay, be careful. Those serial killers, they're persuasive. You know, I don't even know what to say about that because everything I say, you use against me. That, Matthew, is probably what your lawyer will say too. So don't say too much.

Broken Jubal in the morning. Text in at 78592. It says, I love serial killers. Can I get that dude's number? What? Broken Jubal in the morning. Who are you? Talking about the second date update,

Matthew wanted to call this girl named Charlotte. They were supposed to go to a Halloween party together. And Charlotte wasn't calling Matthew back because he did way too much research on his serial killer Halloween costume. And she thought that he was just really obsessed with serial killers and way too into it. And Matthew said it's his first Halloween since his divorce, and he just wanted to do his costume right. Well, just because you're wearing a costume doesn't mean you have to be in character. Yeah, and here's the thing.

She ends up missing someday, and everyone's going to be like, oh, what a stupid girl. Why'd she go out with somebody that was obsessed with serial killers? She should have known. Yeah, should have known. What was she thinking? Didn't want to go out with him again, so no second date. Remember, if you want to do a second date update, all you have to do is email the show, and we will call the person who didn't call you back.
