He's reached out to us once again hoping we can be the soothing ointment to rub over his romantic love burns. Oh, ouch. Now, last time he was on the show, Matt got rejected after learning his date made out with a hotter looking Batman at the movie theaters. Oh, I remember you, Matt. Yeah, I remember you. Is it weird that I don't? That's a very specific thing.

Yeah, that's pretty memorable. Matt, were there any costumes involved this time around? Not this time, no. I left my capes hanging up at the Batcave. Oh, okay. I love that, Matt, coming with the hot jokes. Good sense of humor. I'm so curious what made you call us back,

because if I remember right, that was a terrible ending that we had. I mean, like, the girl was kind of a jerk. Well, you can't keep a good Batman down. Oh. Okay. Okay. Yeah, she thinks she's some Bane and can break me, toss me down this big hole.

No, I'll climb out. Okay. Oh, boy. Resilience. The Dark Knight rises again. That's right. All right. Who are we on to now?

What's the new lady's name? So her name's kelsey okay where'd we meet her online okay and did you have a good connection with her right from the beginning or yeah right from the beginning normally i have a pickup line yeah it used to work all the time or well for me all the time is like it worked like one yeah that's a higher success rate than most people what are we working with here so i used to say hey you're like a credit card because you have my interest okay did she respond to that uh so i did something else you know i really wanted to get her attention so i thought about it i came up with a new line oh you didn't use that one okay

what'd you get what'd you go with so i said you're like wi-fi because we have a connection okay i think it's better i kind of prefer the credit card joke really? it worked right? because she responded Kelsey thought it was funny dude that's exciting so did you ask her out? where did you guys go? what did you do? I asked her if she wanted to get

some Asian food if she likes that kind of stuff she said yeah plus it's broad because there's a million different things if she says no to that then don't even go on a date He likes that kind of stuff. He said, yeah. Plus it's broad because there's a million different things. Yeah, totally. If she says no to that, then don't even go on a date. Exactly. For real. So like we're out and like we have funny banner immediately and we're kind of teasing each other, giving it back and forth.

When you say Asian food, in my mind, I think of like Chinese food, Thai food. It's a large continent. There's a lot of different countries. There's a lot of area. But she thought like Asian food just meant sushi automatically. They didn't have any sushi. And I wanted to be a nice guy. So I just said, look, this isn't the way I roll.

But we could just hang out and make a night of this. What do you mean? Is that like a sushi joke? I don't like I don't roll. I don't sushi roll that way. Yeah, I just said, hey, no more Mr. Rice guy. That was so good. Everybody understood that one.

All right. He's got a whole set. Now, can we focus on the date with Kelsey? I love the Xander joke. Jokes aside, how was the connection? The connection was great. Like I said, we had a lot of chemistry. We were going back and forth.

It was kind of funny because I thought the restaurant was way too hot. She thought it was way too cold. She went to go to the bathroom, and I thought it would be hilarious if I would order us two frozen margaritas. So by the time she got back, I could roll up my sleeves and be like, oh, man, it's so hot in here. I got us margaritas. What kind of what? Were you at a Chinese restaurant that has margaritas? Such a weird pairing.

Chow mein and margaritas. Okay. They thought it was weird when I requested it, but I was like, just do it. It's for a joke. You'll get it. Everyone will laugh. It'll be hilarious. Okay.

Did she just die of laughter? I don't think she really got it at first. It's a specific setup. It's a joke that needs to be explained. Definitely. So the rest of the night, it was great. We had fun. She came home with me that night.

I was not expecting that. Tell us about the romance. Yeah, how'd the night go? I'll just say that the romance happened. Hey, attaboy! What was the night go? I'll just say that the romance happened. Okay. Attaboy. What was the exit like? Like, did you guys talk about hanging out again the next morning?

Yeah, we talked about hanging out again. She said, sure. And I texted her a couple times. I'm worried maybe, like, one of my jokes wasn't that funny or something. Maybe too funny, I think. She's intimidated by the humor. No, but she went home with you. She obviously... Okay, so how long has this been since we last spoke to her?

It's been a week. Okay. So she's obviously avoiding you. Yeah, especially if she's ghosting. No communication is way different than a little hi and bye. I just wonder if she just didn't think the Wi-Fi joke was that funny. Well, let's ask her.

It's possible. That could be it. We'll play a song. We'll come back. We'll call Kelsey and try and get your second date update. All right, Batman? You can call me Mat-Man if you like. All right, Mat-Man.

Mat-Man. Mat-Man. Hold on. We're going to save the day right after this. Second date update. When the sun goes down and the night is upon us, young couples take to the streets of Gotham hoping to get it in. Yeah.

Is that the right word? That's what Batman says. Yeah. And in dating, Alfred always told me what doesn't kill you makes you undateable. Oh, that's the thing. Does it? Yeah, that's what he always said before he tucked me in at night. We're on the phone right now with a guy who wants to go be known as Matt Man.

Because he dresses up like Batman a lot. He didn't this time, though, because something much better happened. He took a girl home after dinner at an Asian restaurant with a healthy dose of humor mixed in. Yeah, healthy, very healthy. It actually sounded really good. The whole night sounded pretty good. Yeah. Parts of it, yeah. Well, I mean, for her, she was into it. After spending the night, Kelsey

isn't calling him back now, and it's been a full week. So, Matt Mann, before we call her, I just want to give you a quick quote, okay? Oh, no. Okay. It's from the movie The Dark Knight. It's a Harvey Dent quote before he turns evil and tries to destroy the whole city, but before he does that he says, the night is darkest

just before the dawn. And I promise you, Matt Mann, the dawn is coming for you. That's a good thing. It might feel dark right now, but good times are ahead of you. Matt Mann? I mean, her name is Kelsey, but I get it.

I appreciate it. No, he doesn't mean Dawn. Yeah, no, her name's not Dawn. Oh, Dawn. Okay, maybe this was more confusing than helpful. It was. It was. I mean, if anything, you know what's coming.

You've done this before, and I don't think it can be worse than the last time you were on the phone with us. That wasn't fun. Just like Batman, just hide in the shadows and when we need you, be ready to pounce. Yeah, let's do it. I mean, she doesn't know anything about this Batman stuff unless she snuck into my bat closet or looked underneath my bat futon when she said it. She accidentally found the bat cave.

Your Batman bed sheets didn't give it away? We didn't have the lights on. Bats can see in the dark. So you have the sheets? Yeah. I feel like you took off a utility belt. I feel like he sleeps in a race car bed. Let's just call it a bat movie.

Thank you. See, he said it too. All right, let's just dial Kelsey's number. Here we go, then. Hello? Hey, is this Kelsey? Yeah, may I ask who's calling? Yeah, you may.

This is Brooke and Jeffrey. Hi, Kelsey. The Morning Radio Show. We're excited to talk to you. Hey. Oh, I don't really listen to you guys. No offense, but... Most people don't. That's fine.

Thanks for sticking that into our side. That's okay. That's all right. Yeah, we're doing something called a second date update right now, and we're trying to help one of our listeners, Matt, get back in touch with you. Oh, God. Okay.

All right. Yeah. You almost said, uh-oh. No. of our listeners matt get back in touch with you oh god okay all right yeah you remember going out with matt a little while ago i mean how could i forget okay it could be a good thing am i trying to be positive yeah the tone of her voice doesn't sound super positive what did you think of hanging out with matt uh you know i went in with a really positive attitude and um it seems like we had a lot of chemistry up until actually meeting one another um oh what it was just strange like we kind of kept getting into these like little fights and like like as if we were like a real couple already, like not on like a first date, you know, like what kind of fights are you talking about? Well, he was walking so fast to the restaurant. I was like, Hey, can you slow down? I can't walk that fast. I'm wearing heels. And he just went, I'm walking normal. I was walking normal. I was just walking normal I wasn't walking normal Matt

You guys have him on the phone? Yeah There was going to be a lot more that would happen before that You could have got more info Matt Sorry Kelsey Obviously Matt's been on the other line listening He wants to talk to you Honestly I mean maybe this would be like a teachable moment

But like you know if a girl's wearing heels on the date like you're going to have to walk at a slower pace. Yeah. I mean, I walked faster on purpose because I thought it was funny. I thought you would laugh at that. Do you get it, Kelsey? You're slow. No, that's not. You know, I must have been too far behind for you to notice that I was just laughing hysterically.

Okay. Were you guys running late to the to the restaurant no we were all walking he didn't make reservations it doesn't matter like it's so rude to walk in front of someone i'm just trying to give a reason i don't know brooke i think the whole point is kelsey he was trying to be funny it obviously wasn't to you like i mean was that the only time that that miscommunication happened no if that was like the thing I'd be like ah it's kind of a jerk move like I don't know this is weird and you know what I did joke the first time because I thought he was joking but then he like kept doing it and that's when I got annoyed and then he just kind of kept arguing

about like the temperature in like the restaurant and i was like what am i like a thousand years old arguing with somebody about like temperature yeah he told us that when we spoke to him a little bit earlier yeah that is a look into like an elderly couple's advice but he he said he did it in a creative way and he served you a cold margarita as like a cold and be like it was cold enough for you no that was a jerk move i was like this is kind of like weirdly sadistic like i was just joking like i even rolled up my sleeves to make it look like it was way hotter and like you didn't even get that part either that's very small i mean i got it like you definitely committed to the bit but maybe you

have some like social awareness and realize i wasn't laughing as hard as you were. I don't get it, though, Kelsey, like after all of this, then you go back to his place. Like, I guess I just thought it was like a one time thing. And I was still trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, which I like totally regret now. Why was it bad? Was it bad at his house too? Well, I mean, he took a shower and like this man took a shower longer than any woman I've ever known.

Like I don't even know what he was doing in there. I was like, did he like pass out? Oh no. Maybe, maybe he was going to show you his famous Batman outfit. Oh, no.

It's already bad enough. She doesn't know about batman guys what are you doing exactly well the conversation isn't going great already maybe the batman thing could save it oh whenever you tell a woman that he dresses up like a fictional character he has a very realistic looking batman costume. What are you guys talking about right now? I literally have no idea what you're saying. Matt's out of the bag. Well, Matt's been on our show before and he's very into Batman and he was hoping to show you that at a later date.

Let me take it from here. Good idea, Matt. Go ahead, bro. Save this. Save it. Matt, what's going on? What are they talking about? I was just about to complain about you leaving a wet towel on your bed, but now this is way worse.

He looked on the bed before you guys got him. There are some couple fights that happen with you two. Like, every great couple goes through this. Like, man. You look at, like, a great couple that's been through it and, like, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

How much? They're divorced. That's a bad example. And it was a terrible relationship. But I think a comeback is coming for Brad and Angelina. Even better than the first time. Hey, Ben and J-Lo can get back together. Yeah, see?

And he's Batman. And yeah, Ben Affle he's Batman. And yeah, yeah. Ben Affleck was Batman. Again? Got it. Matt, she doesn't know the Batman stuff, so that doesn't make sense to her. You could be J-Lo.

I just want to be like a great couple, like Batman and Robin. Even they had their problems. We can still get together. We can still save Gotham City together. Yeah, you can be the dynamic duo. That is a sexy offer there, Kelsey. Listen, everyone has made like 500 Batman references,

and I don't understand any of it. I don't even like care about Batman. Oh, don't say that in front of Matt. Matt, I'm sorry, man. Maybe you guys aren't meant to be, Matt. Well, honestly, if she's not into Batman, I don't think I want to date her. Okay, good.

I think that should be a question right from the beginning in your future dating life. On the profile. You should have had the sound effect ready, like, bum-ba-dum-da-da! I wish we had that locked. I'm no Wonder Woman, but I am wondering if you would like to go on another date.

Oh, you're still asking? And you are a Wonder Woman. Who are you asking, Kelsey? I'm throwing my lasso of truth over Kelsey. Yeah, Kelsey. Be honest, Kelsey. You want to go out on another date with Matt Mann? We'll pay for it.

No, but I think the next woman of your dreams is probably at Comic-Con or some LARPing event. Man, that's fine. That's awesome, actually. For somebody who doesn't like superheroes, you sure know a lot about them all of a sudden. I mean, I know a lot of nerds, so... A little advice for you, Kelsey. You should start acting like the Joker because he knows how to take a joke

and a clown around and is a funny guy. There was a punchline in there somewhere. It's more like the Riddler, but I got it. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. I don't understand why guys who love superheroes and enjoy dressing up sometimes don't get second dates anymore. Oh. What?

That's what you take from all this? Matt has to keep his cape in the closet. Do you know what it's like being kept in the closet for years about stuff? It doesn't feel good. That's not what this was about at all. She wasn't going to say yes even before the cape came up. But then she had to rub it in and be like, oh, now, especially with the superhero stuff, she suggested that he go to Comic-Con, go LARP and meet somebody.

You brought that up, actually. You should have just left it alone. You're like the worst wingman ever. You brought that up, actually. You should have just left it alone. I don't know what you're doing. You're like the worst wingman ever. I just want to say this. If you have a passion and if you have a hobby and you want to go around dressed up, however you want to dress, that doesn't mean you can't also be an amazing lover. Those are very weird messages. Is this really personal to you?

In college, they called me the Flash. Okay? Why? I'm assuming. I don't know why. I'm thinking it's a good thing. You don't know why. I think that's also why you got kicked out of college. Let's just have that talk off here. You guys can all hate on love.

I support people like Matt and everybody else who just wants to be who they are. Okay. We support that piece, too. We always will. Oh, okay. The Flash. Oh, okay. Just not the Flash.

That's different. Great. That's will. Oh, okay. The flash. Just not the flash. Well, I don't know what we support anymore, but I do know that if you want to get a second date update, email us. That's what we support. And we will call somebody. We're not going to try very hard, but we will call somebody and try and get you a second date. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. To be your best every day,
