Chapter 1: What is the main theme of this Halloween Second Date Update?
Hi, I'm Radhi Devlukia and I am the host of a Really Good Cry podcast. This week I am joined by Anna Runkle, also known as the Crappy Childhood Fairy, a creator, teacher and guide helping people heal from the lasting emotional wounds of unsafe or chaotic childhoods.
that talking about trauma isn't always great for people. It's not always the best thing. About a third of people who were traumatized as kids feel worse when they talk about it, get very dysregulated.

Chapter 2: How did Evan and Calista meet during the bar crawl?
He just sits in the corner. Saddest movie ever. Is that the reason that Calista's been avoiding another hangout? We're trying to get to the bottom of it today with your Halloween-themed second date update. I was hoping someone else would jump in. I was hoping that he would answer you. Where is he? I'm still here. Was that a terrifying recap for you, Evan? Yeah, it was kind of.
I was like, oh, no, this is probably going to go bad. Honestly, I don't know if it even has to do with the dancing. It may just be like Halloween's meant kind of for just like flirting and hooking up. Yeah, while you're in costumes. Yeah, it may have nothing to do with your dancing. It might just be your personality sucks, bro. You're out in costume.
You're not looking for a relationship, typically. So maybe that's just not where her head was at. You think she's a floozy. No, I don't. Wow, Brooke, why would you say that? What do you think? I don't really know. I just mean, like, you're out partying on Halloween. It's not meant to be more dates. Yeah, the guy had, like, a fun makeout and doesn't accept that it was just a fun makeout.
Yeah, that's all it is. Why does everyone else get me except Jeff? I don't know if Jeff's ever had just a fun make-out, Jeff. Want to try one? No, thanks. I mean, could that be the case, Evan, where you're taking this as a more serious connection than what Calista saw it as, more of like a one-night-fun thing? That could be the case. I guess I just misread it. I don't think that's bad.
I think it's something you can fix. Yeah, but clearly he wants more, and so we're putting in the effort. We're going to at least call and try and figure out why. And, bro, even if it was just a kiss, just know you're attractive enough for her to come and make out with you. You should feel good about that. Because I only made out with hot guys when I was single.
I would never drunkly make out with someone not hot.
You look like Star-Lord, okay? Let's not undermine anybody's confidence. We're just going to call her and hopefully she picks up. Here we go. Hello? Hey, we're looking to speak with Callista. Yeah. Who's this? Hey, this is a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Hey, good morning. Hi. This is a segment that we do. It's called a second date update. Okay. Okay.
So we're trying to help out one of our listeners that you met the other night. He described a really cool hangout between the two of you at a bar crawl. He described a really drunk hangout between the two of you. Cool, drunk, fun. It was all the emotions. Halloween time. I'm talking about a guy named Evan. Yeah. Okay. Maybe she likes him to be called Star-Lord instead, and that is a problem.
Is that right, Calista? Star-Lord? Do you like that better?

Chapter 3: What were the highlights of Evan and Calista's night out?
We're not inviting anyone's moms to weddings. Okay, wait, wait, wait. I think you're thinking of this the wrong way though, Calista. Like maybe just give him a chance to dance with you eventually because the good experience will outweigh the trauma that he had. And maybe he'll learn to love it all over again. I mean, honestly, I was going to say, like, hard no, but I guess I'm open to it.
I just want to be with someone that is, like, fun and can dance, and I don't want to be dealing with their past traumas. Okay. Good luck with that. That's totally fair. Like, does that not exist? No, it's 100% okay to ask. And, Evan, if you're willing to commit to dropping all of your past traumas right now, then she would be willing to give you a chance. Oh, that's all I got to do?
I'm perfect now. We're joking, but I think that what he's trying to say is that everybody comes with baggage, okay? And if your baggage is simply that you are a little traumatized to dance, like, that's pretty light baggage. You could say you're dating the pumpkin king.
I mean, all right, but you have to dance with me. Next time, we're going to dance. Second date, I'm only going if you go dancing with me.
Wow. As long as he doesn't have to dress in an orange skin-tight outfit with a pumpkin over his head, he should be able to overcome it. I mean, I'd be open to wearing still that pumpkin skin-tight suit, just not the helmet. That just shows off his guns at this point. I see. All right. I'm going to go with don't wear that. But it's up to you, man.
I mean, I wouldn't even carve pumpkins as a couple.

Chapter 4: What challenges did Evan face during the date?
I would just stay away from them. Yeah, that's our suggestion. But again, this is your decision, Evan. And Calista did say she was up for giving you one more chance if you danced. Yeah, let's do it. I'll get out there. I'll show what little moves I have. No one expects guys to have many moves on the dance floor.
Why do I feel like after six or seven years as the pumpkin guy, he's going to be the best dancer of all time? They let him come back every year. Lord of the pumpkins is what he is. Yeah, I mean, I'm proud of you. Careful, you're sounding like his mom now.
I was expecting to say no like 100%, so I think you handled it really well.
Aww. That's actually pretty cute. All you got to do is dance, gentlemen. All right. All right. We're back to Kevin Bacon again. Here we go. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Oh, man. I forgot to ask if she wanted to go with him to his therapy session after they got appetizers and chilies.
Oh, I see.
That's where I went wrong with this. It's the perfect pairing. Little baby back ribs followed by some traumatized kids. Oh, man. I mean, gosh, if this was your mom, Jeffrey, she would have already sent us the video of you doing the dance in the orange spandex and talked about how good your jazz hands were. Yeah, but that's the thing. My mom continues to traumatize me well into adulthood.
It's nothing to do with the past. No, I'm not ready for therapy yet.
It's trauma in progress. But I don't know. It's cool that they went out together, that they agreed to give it a shot. Text in to 78592 if you think they're actually a good match for each other. Okay. Yeah. And share your trauma stories from your childhood. Is that what we want?
No, don't do that.
