1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: About six to seven months ago, we did a segment

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: called Forgive and Forget. Oh, Yeah, which I'm sure a

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,319
Speaker 1: lot of you forgot about. I don't know, I actually

4
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 1: forgave about it.

5
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 2: You know you've forgotten forgot about it?

6
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, we forgive you for that. Anyway, you'll hear the

7
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: story coming up. And the interesting thing is now over

8
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: half a year later, they've both reached out to us

9
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 1: saying they have a very important update.

10
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 3: Yay.

11
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: I love it when people reach back out.

12
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 2: Yes, and it's awesome.

13
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: Apparently things have changed from the last time they were

14
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: on the show, and they wanted all of us and

15
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,599
Speaker 1: all of our listeners to know what's been going on

16
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: in their lives. You're gonna hear it in a first

17
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: ever Forgive and Forget update. Come on, what's coming up next?

18
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Brook and Jeffrey in the morning. And

19
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 1: today we're trying a new segment on our show, something

20
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: we've never done before, called Forgive and Forget.

21
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: Oh.

22
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: It's kind of based on Brooke and myself because I

23
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:08,559
Speaker 1: love to forgive. Brook habitually forgets usually at least one,

24
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: if not both, of the listeners' names, as soon as

25
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: they come onto the fart.

26
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,839
Speaker 2: I can't see their faces. Maybe that's the issue.

27
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 3: Really, you see everyone in our building their name, but

28
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 3: I know yours.

29
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: In all seriousness, we've come across some emails from listeners

30
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: people who've had run ins with their family or friends

31
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: and they don't know how to mend fences with them

32
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: properly where they would like to do it, they just

33
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: can't figure out how. So in the first part, yeah,

34
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 1: I mean these are metaphorical, But in the first part

35
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: here we're gonna learn about the situation, and then in

36
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: the second part we'll see if we can help and

37
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: get the other person to forgive them or see if

38
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: they just want to forget about it and move on.

39
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 3: Okay, so we're talking to the person who's seeking forgiveness

40
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 3: right now, right.

41
00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 4: Who is that?

42
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: I'm going to say really, really loudly so that Brook

43
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 1: remembers it. Please Eric, say it out loud three times,

Speaker 2: So what what's the problem?

79
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 5: So I guess people started talking around our like friend

80
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 5: group that I had read some stuff about her latest boyfriend,

81
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 5: the guy that she had been dating.

82
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 2: Oh no, did you?

83
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 5: I mean, look, I didn't love the dude. I mean

84
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 5: I didn't think he was a great guy.

85
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: Oh god.

86
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 5: And I'm probably I probably did say some things, Okay,

87
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 5: but like, I don't know. I just I don't think

88
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 5: I thought it was that huge of a deal. I

89
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 5: just think that by the people was around kind of

90
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 5: shared that opinion, and and so I didn't feel bad

91
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 5: saying it. And I guess I don't know why I

92
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 5: didn't think he was going to get back to her.

93
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, can we.

94
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: Ask what types of like things you were secretly saying?

95
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: Like what was the vibe of the judgment against her boyfriend?

96
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 5: I don't know. I just he seemed kind of lazy

97
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 5: to me, like he always either not working or like

98
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 5: between jobs, and I kind of felt like maybe he

99
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 5: was taking advantage of her, and there's always something weird

100
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 5: going on with him.

101
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 6: Are they still dating? Is Alyssa and that guy still dating?

102
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 5: I don't even know. I have no idea. I haven't

103
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 5: heard from her in like a month.

104
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 7: Probably well she contact Yeah, dang, No, I mean it

105
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 7: was devastating and like I tried to reach out to

106
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 7: her a few times, tried to explain, but.

107
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 5: I got nothing back. I mean, yeah, she she totally

108
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 5: cut me off.

109
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 6: I mean that feels like an overreaction.

110
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 2: You react that. Yeah, that's good point.

111
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: We should tell her that, Brook, and we'll get her

112
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: on the phone. Well, your emotions are all over the

113
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: place moment. What's her name, by the way, Brooke? Good job, Eric. Alright,

114
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: we're off to a medium to start right now. And

115
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: you know how forgive and forget works. I don't know.

116
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 6: Are we just gonna forget about it and not do

117
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 6: the second segment?

118
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: We literally forget. This is how it's gonna work. It's

119
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: kind of like a second date, but for friends. Okay,

120
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna call Alissa and we'll run the conversation. We'll

121
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: find out her side of the story and then bring

122
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: him on the phone halfway through and let them talk

123
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: about it. Awfully if she doesn't hang up as soon

124
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: as she finds out what's going on. But we're okay, good,

125
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: I do, Okay, I'm glad we got.

126
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 2: It's really fun.

127
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: All right, We're gonna do this fun segment and try

128
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: to mend some fences with Forgive and Forget.

129
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 3: Right after this, we are right in the middle of

130
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 3: a Forgive and Forget update.

131
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,000

00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 2: Right after part two.

134
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and we're in

135
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: the middle of a new segment that we're doing called

136
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: Forgive and Forget onlike a second date where we try

137
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: to re spark a romantic flame between people. In this

138
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: we try to get friends or family members back together

139
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: and on good terms after going through a weird situation.

140
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: You are healing the planet, you guys. It feels so good.

141
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: Okay, let's not like to sing our own praises before

142
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: we actually help anyone.

143
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 6: We're spreading love, We're spreading forgiveness.

144
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 2: This is the good stuff, jeff You can celebrate that.

145
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: But we haven't actually accomplished anything. All we know is

146
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:52,559
Speaker 1: that Derek kicking I think so. What we know though,

147
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: is our listener Eric has been out of touch with

148
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: his good friend Alyssa for the last month or so

149
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: because Alyssa found out he had been talking mess behind

150
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: her back about her new lazy, no job boyfriend.

151
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 6: I have never heard that said that way before.

152
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: It's how the young people speak today, but if you

153
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: gotta catch up, it's how the future young people. The

154
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: babies are talking this way. You'll learn soon. But Eric

155
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: has tried to apologize to Alyssa in multiple ways and

156
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: her response was to cut him out. Dang, that is

157
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: not oven response. So he's sad he misses her and

158
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: wants our help to get back into her good graces.

159
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: We're hoping that she chooses to forgive him today.

160
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, Eric, we didn't ask what is

161
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 3: her personality like?

162
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 2: Like, is she fiery?

163
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 6: Is she a pretty calm, gentle person?

164
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: Yeah? Some her entire personality up in one word for us.

165
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 5: That's a good question. I mean, honestly, I was so

166
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 5: surprised by the way she cut me off because that's really.

167
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 2: Not like her, Okay.

168
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 5: I mean I've seen to get worked up about stuff,

169
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 5: but never at me and never about something like that.

170
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 2: So it's pretty out of the blue.

171
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 3: I mean, even though you did something kind of crappy

172
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 3: as a friend, I mean, it wasn't enough to all right.

173
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: Guy, it wasn't malicious.

174
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 5: Eers.

175
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: Hopefully we can get her to understand that. Let's give

176
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: her a call and try to get her to forgive you.

177
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, we forget.

178
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: Well, we're aiming for forgive. We need, we want to forgive. Forget.

179
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,239
Speaker 1: It's the worst case.

180
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: The tagline give and move forward.

181
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: I'm a dollar right now here we go. Hello, Hey,

182
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: we're looking for Alyssa.

183
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 5: Uh is she?

184
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 1: Hey, Alissa? We are a radio show called Brooke and

185
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 1: Jeffrey in the Morning. Okay, sorry to call you out

186
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: of the blue like this, but we're doing a segment

187
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: where we're gonna try to help mend some fences between

188
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 1: people who've hit a speed bump in their friendship.

189
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 8: Well, I don't know why you called me.

190
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: Well, it's because one of your friends reached out to us.

191
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: His name is Eric.

192
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 8: Oh my god, are you serious?

193
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: Yeah?

194
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 3: I mean he feels terrible, Melissa, and he just misses

195
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 3: you as a friend.

196
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 5: I'm sure he does.

197
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: He sent us a really, really nice email about it,

198
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: saying how much he loves you and how hard this

199
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: has been. I'm not going to say that he cries

200
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: himself to sleep every night into a tub of Ben

201
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: and Jerry's because he didn't say that, but that was

202
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: the mental image I had in my head.

203
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 3: I bet he's a fan of fish food personally, so

204
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 3: it makes sense.

205
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: So I don't want to make you feel guilty about it,

206
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: but you should know Eric is not taking this very well.

207
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 5: Well. I mean I don't care that he's not taking

208
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 5: this well. I mean he hurt my feelings.

209
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it sounds like he was just venting

210
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 3: at a happy hour. I mean, not to like minimize it,

211
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 3: but are you saying like you've never talked crap about

212
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 3: one of the women that he's dated.

213
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 8: I've told him to his face, I've never said it

214
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 8: behind his back.

215
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: Okay, but just think about how much our co host

216
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: Alexis vents at her happy hours about how much she

217
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: doesn't like her girlfriend's boyfriends.

218
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 2: I would have one talking to me.

219
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: Ever, you would be making a hundred phone calls trying

220
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: to fix all of her relationships all the time. I

221
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: don't think he was trying to be malicious with what

222
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: he said. He's just looking out for you.

223
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 8: At the end of the day, he should still come

224
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 8: and talk to me about it.

225
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, what if he talk to you about it

226
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: right now? Because he is on the other line at

227
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: this moment wanting to say things to you. I already

228
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: said about it. Oh yeah, fence men, I think it's

229
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: messes anyway.

230
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 5: Eric, you there, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm here.

231
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 4: I Hilica.

232
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 5: I mean, I.

233
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 8: Mean, I really don't want to talk to you, Eric,

234
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 8: because I'm still upset.

235
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 5: I am genuinely really sorry that I did that. I mean,

236
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 5: I honestly, if I had known that it was going

237
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 5: to hurt you like this, I never would have seen. You.

238
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 5: Should have known, you should have known.

239
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 8: We're friends for eight years.

240
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, And I feel really bad and you

241
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 5: were one hundred percent right, And I just I miss, Yeah,

242
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 5: I know, I am. I just I want to have

243
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 5: you back in my life again, and I want to

244
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 5: just know what I can do to earn your trust back.

245
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,239
Speaker 2: That is a good apology.

246
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: That is a great apology.

247
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 2: Good apology.

248
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: And can I just say in his defense, I don't know.

249
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: I know people think they want to hear their friends

250
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: tell them the bad things about their relationships. I don't

251
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: think in practice that is a very good idea. Now,

252
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: you don't want your friends all coming up to you

253
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: being like, hey, by the way, we all think your

254
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: boyfriend sucks. And that's why I think it came from

255
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: a good place, trying not to say it directly to you.

256
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 1: He was trying to support you from a distance.

257
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 8: I didn't feel supportive. Yeah, I mean, there's still a

258
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 8: kind way to, like, tell me that maybe you don't

259
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:50,359
Speaker 8: really like my boyfriend.

260
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: Okay, so go ahead, Eric, kindly tell her that you

261
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: don't like her boyfriend. That's what she wants.

262
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 5: Fine. I think he was lazy. I worried about him

263
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 5: not having a job or job he has multiple jobs.

264
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 5: But like, at the end of the day.

265
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 8: I love this guy and not what you should care

266
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 8: about if you're my friend.

267
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I you know what I mean, I do,

268
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 5: I do. And like I said, I should have just

269
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 5: told you in person that I was worried about you,

270
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 5: and I didn't, and that was a mistake that I made.

271
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 2: I mean, do you see what he's saying. Do you

272
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 2: think that he's lazy at all? No?

273
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 8: I don't think that he's lazy. I mean he is

274
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 8: a smart, intelligent guy. Then he's working towards bigger things. Okay,

275
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 8: and he's not a nine to five.

276
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 1: I mean, another reason Eric can't go over and apologize.

277
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: He's always there.

278
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 2: Ye Oh man, that's hard Eric.

279
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: So aless the name of this segment is forgive or forget.

280
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: So we're at a point right now where we're just

281
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: gonna ask, can you forgive? Eric? He was very heartfelt

282
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: in his apology.

283
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 3: It was a good apology list, So you got to

284
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 3: give him that. I mean, he understands what he did wrong.

285
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 3: He loves you as a friend, and.

286
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 2: This is an important relationship.

287
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: Is like years and close friends for a decade. Don't

288
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: let this new guy get in between you.

289
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 8: What do you say, Alyssa, I guess I can forgive you.

290
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: It's rainbows in sunshine, don't wear.

291
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 5: Eric.

292
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 4: I mean that I'm I'm honestly, like legitimately relieved, and

293
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 4: I'm again, I'm really sorry, and I'm really happy that

294
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 4: I can earn your trust back, a.

295
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: Healthy way to talk to. Friendship fixed.

296
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 6: And you know, her boyfriend may like be the next

297
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 6: Bill Gates.

298
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 2: Or something, and he'll totally.

299
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 6: Prove you wrong, Eric, and you're gonna be the one

300
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 6: looking like an idiot in the edge.

301
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, that seems like a totally likely thing. That's definitely.

302
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 5: Honestly, I would love that. I would love if that happens.

303
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: Yea, he loves your boyfriend.

304
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 2: You guys are cute.

305
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 5: Eric.

306
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 8: I do love and miss you too, and I look

307
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 8: forward to going out for a drink soon.

308
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 2: There we go.

309
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: Now, let's confess all the things that you don't like

310
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 1: about her mom.

311
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 6: I'm just kidding, faking Jeffrey in the morning.

312
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: We've done updates on closure calls and second dates before,

313
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 1: but this is our first update on a forgive and

314
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: Forget call. Alyssa and Eric are back. Welcome back to

315
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: the show. You two.

316
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 8: Hi, thank you for having me again the bold talking.

317
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 2: I thought for sure we'd get him on and things
