I can't put my dog in a costume, Jeffrey. What, you hate Halloween? No, I love my dog and she hates Halloween. How do you know if you never put a costume on her? That's why she hates it. Jeff, please tell me Bagel's going to be a Bagel. Okay. Obviously.

Duh. It'd be funnier if he was a donut. You can't just do it for the cute pics. You've got to do it for the potential romance, too. What? With your dog? No, so for the dogs and for the people, too. To get attention from people?

Please explain right now before people... I won't explain let's have one of our listeners explain her name is hayley and she met a human date through her costumed dog in the middle of spooky season and she needs all the help hayley welcome to the show hey guys hey what what's your dog's name i don't even want to know the guy's name her name's le Layla. She's a Frenchie. Frenchie. And she went as?

So she was a dragon and I was a princess. Oh, that is so cute. Stop it. You guys are a couple then? I love the combo costume. It's so cute. Yeah, yeah. She loves it. She actually doesn't mind being dressed up.

Okay. She's not one of those pretentious dogs. Not like Brooke's dog. Where did you go dressed up. Oh, okay. She's not one of those pretentious dogs. Not like Brooke's dog. Where did you go dressed up with your dog? So it was actually a party that was specifically for dogs, like dogs and their owners, of course. Oh, that's even better. And tell us about the guy that you met through this experience. What's his name?

So his name's Chris. Okay. And he invited me to this party. This party was actually our second date. Oh, okay. Oh, interesting. So you knew him already, obviously was actually our second date. Oh, okay. Oh, interesting. So you knew him already, obviously. By the second date, hopefully, yeah.

I remember you. I was just picturing her meeting him at the party. Shut up, both of you. You know what I mean. Sorry, sorry. So what was his costume and dog? Yeah. Do we have to go through all the dog costumes?

Yes. We absolutely have to. Jeffrey, that's the whole point of this. It's so cute. I don't think that actually is the point of it. I think the point is trying to get him on a date.

It's the most fun part. I'm with Luke on this. Oh, come to the restaurant and dress up your dog. Put the dog on the phone. Yeah. Oh, God. You were licking.

What was Chris and his dog? It was cute. He was Mario and his dog was one of the little toads. You know, like the monster. Oh, yeah.

Mario and the princess and the dragon and the toad. all makes sense right it all kind of fit it was like synchronicity it was like it was fake okay so take us back to the beginning about how you guys first met if that was your second date how did this all start all right so the first date was quick he reached out to me through instagram which normally I would never entertain, right? Like I'm not big in like the slide and the DM thing. Okay. So why was he the exception? So he didn't reach out to my Instagram.

He reached out to Layla's Instagram, my dog. Oh, your dog has an Instagram. He DM'd the dog's account? Wow. Yeah. So he DM'd me as if he was a dog and he was like, hey, like, woof, like my owner thinks that your owner is really cute. Oh. Woof? No. Usually don't't say wolf if you think they're cute that's the opposite it's a dog barking okay he should have said ow there you go with the eyes popping an audio message it was a

little weird but it was like it was cute it's funny so i asked for the owner's instagram which was him that was chris um checked it out and like, all right, this guy's kind of cute. Let me go on a date. Okay. All right. There you go. And you said coffee was your first date? Yeah.

So I wanted to keep it quick because, you know, like I didn't know him. So we just did like a 20-minute thing. It was during the week. I said I had a meeting to go to. Yeah, yeah. How was it? It was fun. Like he was nice.

Okay. And then that's when he asked me to go to this party. He said it was over the weekend. So we'd have more time. So that was more time for us to like actually hang out. he was nice. Okay. And then that's when he asked me to go to this party. He said it was over the weekend, so we'd have more time. So that was more time for us to, like, actually hang out. Yeah. Okay. Oh, okay.

So he invited you to go to a costume party for dogs. And humans. And humans. And tell us how that went. Yeah. So that was really fun. Like, he was still very gentlemanly. Like, he was getting my drinks for me, holding doors. Did he get Layla a drink,

a little bowl of water? That's not his responsibility. That's his dog. Okay, my bad. Yeah. So the dogs also kind of had a date. Like the dogs just kind of went off and did their own thing

while we were hanging out. That's a big deal when the dogs get along. Wow. It would be really bad if they didn't. Yeah. True. Yeah. But then what happened was

I was planning on spending, like, most of the night with him, and then his dog kind of, like, disappeared. We didn't know where he went, so he went off to find the dog. Oh. Oh, your dog got ghosted by his dog in the middle of your dog date?

Yeah. I'm reading into it, Chad. The dog said, I'm gonna go to the bathroom and pee on this fire hydrant, and then just left. Just jumped out the window. Just probably smelt or saw a squirrel and just ran away i'm just kidding okay so his dog that sucks his dog went

missing yeah so it went missing so like of course like you know go go find your dog yeah but he was supposed to come back and then i just like didn't really hear from him after that like i don't know like what happened or where he went he kind of ghosted me he left you at the party yeah i hope his dog's okay did you check his dog's insta account it's kind of funny to say well you're right though but it's just funny to hear of course i did there was no updates like of what happened that night just the same kind of regular stories of like going for a walk whatever the next day i'm sure the dog's fine yeah oh but so the next day so yeah you know the dog's okay do you have any suspicions in your head of what you think may

have gone wrong? No, and that's the weird thing. I mean, and that we kissed, like, both times. Like, the first time, you know, just like a cute little kiss goodbye, I'll see you this weekend. Next time, it was like, it was a real kiss. Oh. Oh, wow. Interesting.

I don't know. I'm feeling a little ghosted. It doesn't feel good. Yeah, I don't blame you. Okay, so are we calling Chris or are we calling his dog here for the second date update? Who do we want to hear from? We're calling the dog. Probably Chris. Okay. Okay, so are we calling Chris or are we calling his dog here for the second date update? Who do we want to hear from? Probably Chris. Probably Chris. Okay.

Just want to make sure it's your call, so we'll come back, call Chris, and try and figure out why he ghosted you for a Halloween date. That's not cool. We'll do it. Coming right after this. Hold on. Second date update. Getting ghosted on Halloween is bad enough, but getting double ghosted by both your date and your date's dog. That's a good point, Jeff. And that's just evil.

Yeah, wow. But it happened recently to one of our listeners, Haley, and she's really confused about it because her and Chris actually went on two dates. A short coffee meetup and then a dog Halloween costume party and they kissed both times. Which is so weird. He kissed you before he ditched you. Do you know what I mean? He kissed like mid-party. Alexis, every guy that you've ever kissed

you've started a serious relationship with, right? Am I supposed to say yes? No. Okay, good, because it's a no. Oh, what? You do that to men? How dare you? Men don't do that ever.

You're noble. Maybe we have one of the least noble men, though, that we're about to call here, Chris. Well, I hope not. I hope there's a good reason and that he wants to go out with her again. And remember, he lost his dog, guys. It wasn't like... But the dog's found now. I know, but come on what if the

dog ran all the way home and he was just like oh we're home now and why would he just went inside it's like night's done he could have at least told me what happened yes i mean how long at the party did you wait until you realized he had just left left probably like 30 minutes that's a long time yeah yeah i feel bad yeah and in dog years that's like 400 hours so right for leila i felt even longer yeah the dog ran away in age like five years i know well let's just get to the bottom of it i'm gonna call chris right now we'll see if he answers and if he has anything to say for himself i sure hope he does to both things i just said. Here we go. Okay. Hello? Hey, is this Chris?

Yeah. Who is this? Hey, Chris. My name is Jeff from a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. We're hoping we could steal a few minutes of your time today. What is this all about? Great question, Chris. Brooke's going to answer that for you. Yeah, sure. I can't talk. Why? I'm realizing it now. Pass the baton.

It's over to you, Brooke. We're doing a second date, and there's a woman you went out with that is interested in seeing you again. She's wondering why you're not calling her back. Okay, this is the part where I take the baton back because Brooke can't remember the name of the girl that you went out with.

Princess. She was dressed as a princess. You can't just say Princess Dragon. Lola was the dog. Layla was the dog. See, this is why I usually run this thing. Her name was Haley. Oh.

Oh. Yeah, remember? Remember going out with a girl named Haley. Oh, my God, yeah. What? Well, actually, sorry to correct you, but according to her, you actually went on two dates. Yeah. And apparently the second one was like a dog costume party, which you had to leave in the middle of? Without telling her.

Yeah, but I had a good reason to leave the party, to be perfectly honest. Well, we heard that your dog got out and ran away, and so you had to go find him. No, that wasn't the real problem. Oh, wait a minute. Wait, what? Your dog didn't run away? He was gone for a little bit, but he was just running around the house. I found him.

It wasn't an issue. Dude, you ditched her. I knew it. Are you kidding me? Why? Why would you leave? So I got a text from my friend. He's been doing some, I guess you could call it investigating for me on my

behalf. Wait, you got a text from your friend while you were at the party? Yeah. Because I was trying to find her Instagram because I only had a dog's Instagram. That's how I met her. Okay, we heard that. We heard that you guys messaged each other through both of your dogs' Instagram accounts.

What did the friend see on her Instagram? On her Instagram, there was a picture of a guy, and it was also linked to another guy's account who had a lot of pictures of her and him together. And then in his bio, it said her name with a bunch of hearts. Oh, okay. Okay.

I think I'm following this. I'm not. So Haley has an Instagram account. There's a photo on there with her and another guy. Right. And the guy's Instagram account says in his bio,

Haley. Haley with hearts around it. Like they're dating? Is it an old photo? Unless it's an ex. And it could be. Wait. That is so.

There could be. There's plenty of exes that are still hanging on and won't change the bio. Really? How many exes have you in their bios? I miss you, Brooks. No, but seriously. Like, what a rush to judgment. Why wouldn't you just ask her about it?

I wasn't going to confront her at the party, but I was definitely a little bit shaken by it. So I just decided to leave the party. I just couldn't deal with that there. Wow. So you were just like, you know what? I give up. There's no shot at her. It's a sticky, complicated situation that you don't want to get involved in.

Maybe it's not. Like, that's the thing. Well, I did follow up on it. My friend and I, we messaged the guy. And we're like, hey, I went on a couple of dates with Haley. And we see all these photos with you. Okay. He got really upset.

And then he asked me to FaceTime him. What? Wait, upset like that's my girlfriend, or just like, no, why? Or he's like, that's my sister. They've been dating for two years. He is the reason she has, like, a great Instagram for Layla, her dog. He, like, set her up with all these crazy Instagram people from New York City to, like, make it popular or make her go viral.

And, like, you spent thousands of dollars on it. Oh, my gosh. So she's in a relationship? But is she, like, the dumbest cheater ever? Yeah. Because why would you go on a radio station to talk about somebody who isn't calling you back? She didn't think he'd connect the dots? She clearly didn't know about any of that stuff, Brooke, that he had found all that information.

How does she know she has a boyfriend and the boyfriend could possibly hear this? She must know the boyfriend doesn't listen to her. Maybe she has an answer for it because I need to tell you, Chris, she's listening right now. Yeah, and she didn't. Well, at least I think. Hi, yeah, I'm here. So what's the deal? Why are you going on dates when you have a boyfriend already?

Listen, you don't know the situation, okay? It's a lot more complicated than you think. It always is. What's complicated about it, Haley? It's like he and I are, like, not really together. Like, we're seeing other people. And honestly, like, you should have asked me about this. You shouldn't have just left me at the party.

It sounds like you're seeing other people and honestly like you should have asked me about this you shouldn't have just left me at the party it sounds like you're seeing other people yeah is it true that you've been dating him whatever on and off for the last two years yes it is and i told him that i want to see other people so that's one of the reasons why my account's not linked okay yeah yeah guys i have to jump in that's this is not what he said at all during the face time he said they are still dating He said that they were hanging out just the other day. They went out for a dinner. So, like, this is all lies. She's just a liar.

Okay, so that's what she said. You asked him about this. You didn't ask me. Like, yeah, we went out for dinner because we're still friends. Oh, come on. You go to dinner immediately? I don't know. I believe her. She called the radio. It's predictable that Brooke would side with the cheater in this call.

No, I'm not siding with either. He just sounds clingy. I just don't know who to believe, honestly. I feel like she's telling her truth, and he actually probably thinks that that's his truth. Chris, I didn't have a chance to tell you about this because, if you remember, we only spent a very short amount of time together. Our first date was 20 minutes, and then this next one you left before i could even explain it but like what but like when you at least like broach the subject of being like hey i have a crazy ex who still thinks he's in a relationship with me but it's not true no you don't usually

that's a big turn on of course you do the way, my dog's dressed as a dragon. It doesn't matter anyway, Chris. Honestly, I'm really not interested in you. Wait, we just did this whole phone call for you. We got a clarification finally. Yeah, but that was before I found out that you're kind of a creepy stalker. Well, I'm not the one who's stalking your page. No, Jeff.

It's not about you. But girls do this all the time. Friends research for friends. You don't call the ex, though. Yeah, I've never called an ex for anybody. A FaceTime? Yeah. I'm supposed to ask you guys to go out on another date, and we'll pay for it.

But, Haley, you're withdrawing your... Honestly, I think Layla can do better, too. Oh! You know what? Why don't you give me a gift certificate? Me and Haley's ex will go out to B-dubs and get some beers on Football too. Oh! You know what? Why don't you give me a gift certificate? Me and Haley's ex will go out to B-Dubs and get some beers

on Football Sunday. You want to hang out with the crazy guy? Yeah. You know what? By all means, you guys deserve each other. It's fine.

Go ahead. And by the way, Haley, your dog has gingivitis. You need to get that checked out. Oh, damn! Okay, well, your dog's breath

is the worst I've ever smelled. Oh, okay. Well, this is? Okay, well, your dog's breath is the worst I've ever smelled. Oh, okay. Well, this is getting into a bad place. Dogs can't even defend themselves. Tried to go on a date. We ended with dog shaming. Aw, little dragon breath. Kind of cute, though.

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Oh, my God. It got really nasty there at the end. Oh, my God. You're like dog shaming. I know. What is happening? This is the most innocent part of dog shaming. I know. What is happening?

This is the most innocent part of this entire thing. I know. I'm surprised she didn't come back with, oh, yeah, my dog makes more money on Instagram than your dog. It sounds like that was actually accurate. Kind of thanks to that one guy. That's like the new my dad could beat up your dad. Yeah. Brought into the modern age.

My dog gets more likes So I don't know I think she's just feeling like She got caught Trying to have her cake And eat it too So she got a little bit defensive I don't think she's single You might be right But a lot of texts

78592 are saying She got busted And she's trying to lie Her way out of it Maybe Maybe I'm too trusting Maybe I just believe everybody But speaking from dudes

Like we can be clingy And creepy too I know guys I'm sorry Any boyfriend That's gonna put your name In their freaking bio Believe everybody. But speaking from dudes, like, we can be clingy and creepy, too. I know guys that think their relationship is so long and it's not. Any boyfriend that's going to put your name in their freaking bio with hearts around it has some issues before you break up. No. Like, that is a weird thing to do.

You would never represent your husband with hearts around him? That is weird. Michael, take Brooke out of your Facebook profile. That's awful. Weirding her out. That's so strange. People do in middle school. Yeah.

Maybe. No matter what, though, I just hope that those two dogs find each other somewhere down the line someday, even if it's a pet napping. Oh, what? Maybe that was too far. Yes. Talking about actually napping. I just want them to meet each other again.

But anyway, if you ever want to meet someone, you can always email the show. We'll call that person who's been calling you back. You can check out all these podcasts wherever you get yours at Brooke and Jeffrey. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. We're so done with new year, new you. This year, it's more you on Bumble. More of you shamelessly sending playlists, especially that one filled with show tunes. More of you finding Gemini's because you know you always like them.

More of you dating with intention because you know what you want. And you know what? We love that for you. Someone else will, too. Be more you this year and find them on Bumble.
