In this Halloween-themed episode, hosts Brooke and Jeffrey discuss two "Second Date Update" stories. First, a listener named Mike is ghosted by his date Dakar at a haunted house after she mistakes him for a serial flasher based on a police sketch. Second, Jenna, dressed as Ghostface, realizes she made out with a different Jason Voorhees impersonator at a party, not her crush Drew, who had already hooked up with another woman.
