Speaker 1: Second dat day. We've helped people rekindle old flames on
Speaker 1: the show before. Ye and when I say we, I
Speaker 1: mean Jose Alexis and I'm talking about the other person
Speaker 1: usually barges into the conversation a pouty and sad and
Speaker 1: snuffs the flame right now. I love love. I think
Speaker 1: love is fantastic. I think it's what you don't have
Speaker 1: to scream it into my ear. I'm just asking out
Speaker 1: of the bottom of my heart, Brook today, Please let's
Speaker 1: not give up on these people so quickly. I feel
Speaker 1: like the only times you ever say that is when
Speaker 1: the people really have screwed something. I can feel you
Speaker 1: giving up already. I'm just saying, whatever happened, whoever said
Speaker 1: whatever to whoever. Let's give them some grace. Okay, Let's
Speaker 1: give them some leeway. Yeah, can make mistakes. Let's be
Speaker 1: the healers that are listening. Audience deserves to hear, because
Speaker 1: that's so hard doing your own speed. That's the type
Speaker 1: of energy we're looking for, listeners to the only person.
Speaker 1: Can we ask that of you today? I feel like
Speaker 1: you're setting me up for something, but sure, half hearted,
Speaker 1: Sure is the best we're gonna do today. Thomas so
Speaker 1: we're in a mildly safe place, she says she we
Speaker 1: have Welcome to the show man. Thank you, thank you
Speaker 1: for having me, Thomas. We're ready to hear about the
Speaker 1: date that you went on. Tell us about who it
Speaker 1: was with. So it was with Marie, okay, and she
Speaker 1: is somebody that I knew in middle school? Did you
Speaker 1: guys slow dance at a at a middle school dance before? Um? No,
Speaker 1: we were never closed. Okay. She actually beat me up,
Speaker 1: Oh when I was a kid. What she's like? You're
Speaker 1: so beautiful to me. Is she still scary or no,
Speaker 1: she's not as scary, slimmer, a little bit intimidating me.
Speaker 1: Did she remember that you're the guy that she beat up? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So maybe I'm jumping ahead too much. But when I
Speaker 1: went out on the date with her, I actually wore
Speaker 1: a boxing helmet, like boxing like headgear. Rematch. Let's do
Speaker 1: this now, let's go. What did she say when you
Speaker 1: showed up wearing that? She laughed. She thought it was great,
Speaker 1: she knew exactly what it was. Oh my god, that's
Speaker 1: actually pretty funny. How did you guys reconnect? Yeah, so
Speaker 1: I'm like recently divorced. I got on the dating app
Speaker 1: and and she was on there and I didn't recognize her,
Speaker 1: Like I've sort of recognized her, but not completely. You're like,
Speaker 1: can I get a picture of your fists coming towards
Speaker 1: my face? Then I'm recognize. But it's kind of crazy
Speaker 1: how many people like stay in town like a high school,
Speaker 1: like you're all in the same community. Still, that's great, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was great. Um, so what did you guys end
Speaker 1: up doing for the date? We just went to like
Speaker 1: a sports bar and had some food and oh that
Speaker 1: made our headgear not stand out as much since what
Speaker 1: was the chemistry? Like I thought we had like great
Speaker 1: chemistry at first, I thought we had great chemistry. I
Speaker 1: thought everything was like good you know, conversation, like energy,
Speaker 1: the whole thing. Like I just felt like we had
Speaker 1: a really good dynamic at first. Yeah. Yeah, so, like
Speaker 1: I guess this was a dune move on me. But
Speaker 1: I told my mom, you know, it's a small community,
Speaker 1: so we all kind of knew each other's parents and
Speaker 1: all that stuff. Yeah, and my mom actually ended up
Speaker 1: showing up on the date. Oh yeah, I don't blame me.
Speaker 1: I feel like my parents are the same. If I was, like,
Speaker 1: you remember the blankety blanks from tr did she like
Speaker 1: brook Brook, don't give up? You're ready to quit on this.
Speaker 1: You're feeling it's feeling bad. How long? How long was
Speaker 1: the interaction with your mom? Please tell me it was,
Speaker 1: like I'll put the judgment. How long did she stay
Speaker 1: on your day? She didn't stay that long. I mean
Speaker 1: she showed up, said hi, I gave her a hug,
Speaker 1: but like I didn't tell her to come meet up
Speaker 1: with it. So I hope that she didn't think it
Speaker 1: was like set up or something by me. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Honestly. It could just be that, like
Speaker 1: suddenly there's the adult, sexy version of you, and then
Speaker 1: when you introduce the mom, all she could see was
Speaker 1: the dorky, junior high version of you that she beat
Speaker 1: up harsh. Yeah, some people in this room actually use
Speaker 1: their moms as their wingman to this day, Isn't that right?
Speaker 1: Elect I do think a guy would like me more
Speaker 1: of a But like, it sounds like it didn't work
Speaker 1: out quite that well for you. Now you say that
Speaker 1: the chemistry changed totally after the mom, So that's you're
Speaker 1: thinking that's where everything went wrong. Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 1: I mean, the day didn't last much longer after that,
Speaker 1: like we pretty much just like we paid, we hugged
Speaker 1: and that was it. Yeah, even like a chess bump.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, bro activity. But okay, have you reached out
Speaker 1: to her since that happened? Yeah, and it's nothing nothing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: has your mom tried reaching she about her? Not like
Speaker 1: I didn't ask her to go. Well, we'll find out
Speaker 1: for sure when we play a song come back call
Speaker 1: Marie for you your old middle school bully. I just
Speaker 1: want to like let you guys know that she did
Speaker 1: beat me up. But I did get a few licks
Speaker 1: then too, so it wasn't like on the ground. Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: we're gonna do it right after this with your second
Speaker 1: date update. Hold on second update. You're in the middle
Speaker 1: of a second eate update update. We're gonna find out
Speaker 1: how the couple is doing right after you here part two.
Speaker 1: You know they say in middle school, if a boy
Speaker 1: has ever mean to you, it's because secretly he actually
Speaker 1: likes you and he just doesn't know how to show
Speaker 1: it's true. Sometimes it's true an adulthood. But I didn't
Speaker 1: realize when a girl in middle school roughs you up,
Speaker 1: it means she wants to go on a date with
Speaker 1: you twenty years later. Ye see, if you've manned up
Speaker 1: at all in that time. That's why I never got
Speaker 1: beat up by any girl. Because that's how Thomas reconnected
Speaker 1: with a woman named Marie from back in his middle
Speaker 1: school days. They went out to dinner together, and the
Speaker 1: weird part of it was when Thomas's mom showed up
Speaker 1: unannounced halfway through just to say hi to Marie again.
Speaker 1: My gosh, So that obviously threw a wrench into the
Speaker 1: romance part of the day and hasn't seen her or
Speaker 1: spoken to her since. Brooke, is there any final things
Speaker 1: that you want to say to Thomas before you ruin
Speaker 1: it once we get Marie on the phone. I mean,
Speaker 1: your mom ruined it. It sounds like and that was
Speaker 1: a bad move on your mom's part, and you definitely
Speaker 1: need to have a conversation with your mommy about boundaries. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I promise, if you guys get me a second day,
Speaker 1: I promise I will not tell her about any I
Speaker 1: won't tell her where we're going. That's a good rule
Speaker 1: to live by, Yeah, secretive. Yeah, all right, So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna dot Marie's number. We're gonna see what she has
Speaker 1: to say. You ready, Thomas, yep, Okay, here we go. Hello.
Speaker 1: Hey is this Marie? Yeah? Who's this? My name's Jeff
Speaker 1: from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 1: Um okay, yeah, exactly, such a weird phone call. Again.
Speaker 1: Well I'm cleanly in here. What's going on? This is
Speaker 1: something we do call the second date Update, and one
Speaker 1: of our listeners, Thomas, reached out to us because he
Speaker 1: says he went out on a date with you. Oh
Speaker 1: you're being connected okay, yeah, yeah, so he's been having
Speaker 1: trouble reaching you after the date and he's not a
Speaker 1: hundred percent sure why. He does have a little bit
Speaker 1: of a idea of maybe what caused it, though, Um, well,
Speaker 1: not that it's any of your business, but I was
Speaker 1: on a business trip bread after that date. I had
Speaker 1: to actually leave early to catch it early flight in
Speaker 1: the morning. Oh, were you planning on getting back with
Speaker 1: Thomas then and having another date? Okay, so maybe we
Speaker 1: were reading it right. What's going on? Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: kind of cool. I don't know if he said anything
Speaker 1: to you, but we knew each other middle school and yeah,
Speaker 1: we heard the story about how you actually beat him
Speaker 1: up once. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that sounds like a fond
Speaker 1: memory for you. And he told us that he wore
Speaker 1: headgear when he showed up to the date. Was that
Speaker 1: fun for you? It kind of was funny, and you know,
Speaker 1: like we took care of the elephant in the room. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I beat the snot out of him in sixth grade.
Speaker 1: Like it sounds good? Yeah, I mean what else did
Speaker 1: you think about the date? His mom showed up? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we also know about that, and he says that up,
Speaker 1: I mean, we're back in sixth grade. Oh my head defense.
Speaker 1: He had no idea that she was gonna just randomly
Speaker 1: showed up. He didn't invite her there. He felt the
Speaker 1: same way what you just said was just like, did
Speaker 1: it bring you right back to junior High? Is that way? Oh? Yeah? No?
Speaker 1: Just like do I need a haul pass for a
Speaker 1: second date? I mean, it was just it was weird.
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, can't you forgive him for that?
Speaker 1: It clearly wasn't It was out of his decision. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well okay, so maybe that's out of his control. But
Speaker 1: I was actually thinking about getting back in town and
Speaker 1: maybe giving him a calling going out again, because it
Speaker 1: was she was It was a great dit up until
Speaker 1: that point. And then his mother called me. Did you
Speaker 1: say called his mother called old me? How did she
Speaker 1: get your phone? Oder? I mean it's a small town.
Speaker 1: We all grew up here. We don't know each other,
Speaker 1: so I mean it was that she probably called my
Speaker 1: mother and got my cell phone. Why say I get
Speaker 1: this call? And she says, why aren't you noting my
Speaker 1: Tommy back? He had a wonderful time with you. He
Speaker 1: has no idea that his mom called you. Do you
Speaker 1: know that? I don't know. I don't know. I'm telling
Speaker 1: you he doesn't know. Yeah, I don't think he knows.
Speaker 1: We should ask him if he has any idea because Tommy,
Speaker 1: because I was calling Tommy Thomas, our Thomas is on
Speaker 1: the other line listening. He's been there the whole time.
Speaker 1: He wants to talk to you, Marie. Yeah, you talk
Speaker 1: to her now. Yes, Um, I had no idea you
Speaker 1: and I apologize. I don't know what compelled her to
Speaker 1: do that. I really apologize. I promise you my barriers,
Speaker 1: I will like set up barriers for this in the
Speaker 1: future will never happen again. Physical barriers, just like your
Speaker 1: mom told me on the phone. In addition to reaming
Speaker 1: me out for not calling you, back. She also said
Speaker 1: that she's spoken to your ex wife over the years
Speaker 1: and just between us girls, he's hot in the stack
Speaker 1: no quote to in the stack, And I'm like, oh no, Thomas,
Speaker 1: is your mother right about that? Um? I actually just
Speaker 1: want to jump out of my second story window right now.
Speaker 1: I feel like Jeffrey, of all people, has empathy for you.
Speaker 1: He's got a mom like you have a mom like this.
Speaker 1: She signed you up for a dating app without you
Speaker 1: even knowing about it, but then you just get used
Speaker 1: to having her in the room when you're kissing the girls.
Speaker 1: She actually does have a lot of knowledge of it.
Speaker 1: I can see your I'm like, let me just take
Speaker 1: some pictures. Yeah, I feel bad. Do you feel bad
Speaker 1: for him? You got to feel a little bad for Thomas.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I do. I feel really bad for him.
Speaker 1: But do I need to jump into that kind of mojo?
Speaker 1: I know? Yeah, Thomas, I do think that you need
Speaker 1: to take a little bit of responsibility here, because apparently
Speaker 1: you told your mom that Marie wasn't calling you back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. I mean, but I just didn't know
Speaker 1: that that was going to turn into her calling and
Speaker 1: trying to like get to the bottom of it well,
Speaker 1: and I hope the conversation was, Hey, mom, don't show
Speaker 1: up to my dates because now my date isn't calling
Speaker 1: me back. Yeah, I definitely should have probably brought that up.
Speaker 1: I'm yeah, seriously, Yeah, you don't talk to your mother
Speaker 1: that way, Marie. I just want to say, like, I'm
Speaker 1: so sorry that she reached out to you. I did
Speaker 1: not know that was going to happen. And then on
Speaker 1: top of all of that, we're on the radio right now,
Speaker 1: and like we're putting all this stuff out there. So
Speaker 1: I just want to say, I'm like very mortified that
Speaker 1: that happened, and and i'd really like to go back
Speaker 1: out with you. I just you know, I'm sorry about everything.
Speaker 1: That sounds pretty sincere to me to my ears, Marie,
Speaker 1: how do you feel about that? Well? Could you pinky
Speaker 1: promised me that your mom's not gonna have anything to
Speaker 1: do with it. Like I said, I'm gonna definitely have
Speaker 1: to talk with her about like everything that's happened. I'm
Speaker 1: maybe not or yes, stop talking to you. Well, I
Speaker 1: mean I can't stop talking to her. I mean she
Speaker 1: is my mom and good boy, good boy, yes, well, yes,
Speaker 1: so let us step in here, for a second and
Speaker 1: ask Marie, Marie, would you like to go out on
Speaker 1: another date with our little Tommy? We'll pay for that date.
Speaker 1: Now that you know the whole story, you know everything,
Speaker 1: the truth. Yeah, I think I would. Yeah, that's actually cute.
Speaker 1: I do feel like we need to call his mom
Speaker 1: in like an awkward Tuesday and like set some ground
Speaker 1: rolls for your friends. Did she just say yes? Because
Speaker 1: he's such a sexual dynamo? The mom's actually wingman? No comment. Nice,
Speaker 1: this guy's got it going to be going on talking
Speaker 1: about something else? Yeah, broken Jeffrey In the morning, back
Speaker 1: from all the mama drama, Thomas and Marie are on
Speaker 1: the phone once again to give us an update. What's
Speaker 1: going on you too? Are you together? You married? Are
Speaker 1: you in the middle of a bitter divorce where we
Speaker 1: are probably surprised? We are still together and it's going
Speaker 1: really good? Is the mom in the background somewhere? I
Speaker 1: just I just figured she'd be on the phone with us, right,
Speaker 1: That's the thing. We kind of had to set some
Speaker 1: ground rules, but we did, and things are We're going
Speaker 1: out really good. Mom following the rules. I'm shot your
Speaker 1: mom just listened to you, Thomas, No not at first.
Speaker 1: That sounds more accurate what happened. So yeah, after the call,
Speaker 1: it was like kind of awkward. We kind of asked
Speaker 1: her to just kind of back off, not be so involved,
Speaker 1: but you know she's like old and bored. Y. Yes,
Speaker 1: but we like kind of found out she's been a
Speaker 1: little lonely and like she just kind of like needed
Speaker 1: a distraction. Yeah, okay, so we set her up on
Speaker 1: a dating profile. Oh idea, She's like, we'll give you
Speaker 1: your own dating drama. Mom really smart. It was kind
Speaker 1: of weird, but it was fun and you know, like
Speaker 1: we took pictures of her and helped her put her
Speaker 1: profile together and every date it's it's actually kind of
Speaker 1: fun for us because what we do is we go
Speaker 1: to that coffee shops where she has her dates and
Speaker 1: we kind of just make sure she's you know, from
Speaker 1: a distance. Oh everything. Now you're being annoyed. You're doing
Speaker 1: exactly what the mom did. She could do just to
Speaker 1: make sure she's okay, because she's kind of ignorant about
Speaker 1: like the real world today. You know, she's getting catfish quick.
Speaker 1: Australia's in love with me and wants me to send
Speaker 1: him money. Modern dating has changed so much, Thomas, how
Speaker 1: do you feel about that? Watching your mom date people,
Speaker 1: It is a little weird for me. Yeah. The good
Speaker 1: news is now she's like focusing her energy on her
Speaker 1: own love life and like you said, just not hours.
Speaker 1: So it's just nice. We have a little bit more
Speaker 1: space now. She's not like a normal moment over she
Speaker 1: was an Italian. I was gonna say they should go
Speaker 1: on a double date, but they may not. Watch yeah much.

Speaker 1: your relationship. I remember if you ever want it. If
