Speaker 1: All right, you were in for a Sunday treat. My friends,
Speaker 1: you have found the second Date Update podcast. It's Brook
Speaker 1: and Jeffrey in the Morning and Sunday is where we
Speaker 1: introduce you to something new, yes, something different that we
Speaker 1: do on our show, because we do do a full
Speaker 1: hour podcast over on our main feed, and this one
Speaker 1: is a segment called say Yes to the X Alexis.
Speaker 1: Have we run this in the second day? I think so.
Speaker 1: You guys might have heard it once or twice. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's where I mean, it's pretty obvious, right you want
Speaker 1: to get back together with your ex, and we help
Speaker 1: facilitate that. This one's going to be a big discussion
Speaker 1: about cheating. Yeah, and if if once a cheater, always
Speaker 1: a cheater. I think it's going to be the comment
Speaker 1: section for sure. But before we start the podcast, Alexis,
Speaker 1: let's highlight some of the great comments that people are leaving.
Speaker 1: I saw one from Keegan Barnett who said that point
Speaker 1: when you wake up from a ton select to me
Speaker 1: go to the recovery room and the first thing you
Speaker 1: ask for is your phone and headphones to listen to
Speaker 1: your daily Brook and Jeffrey episode. I think I have
Speaker 1: a problem. I think I think we're better after a yeah, totally. Oh,
Speaker 1: thanks for being with us, and hey, if you've got
Speaker 1: a great comment, please leave it. We'd love to highlight them,
Speaker 1: like subscribe and sit back and enjoy.
Speaker 2: Yes, there's a lot of things that you'd happily say
Speaker 2: yes to without even thinking about it. Oh okay, Yeah,
Speaker 2: Like yes to free costco samples. Yes, yes to concert
Speaker 2: tickets for a band I don't even like.
Speaker 1: God.
Speaker 2: Yes, I'd even say yes to a free trip to
Speaker 2: Mexico with the stipulation i'd have to hide balloons somewhere
Speaker 2: on my body.
Speaker 1: WHOA wait a minute yet, be that bad? Right?
Speaker 2: Nothing's free in this world drug mules, but it's much
Speaker 2: harder to say yes to your X. Oh yeah, that's
Speaker 2: what one of our listeners is hoping for today, And
Speaker 2: all I know is this, after today's call, I will
Speaker 2: never look at escape rooms in the same way ever. Again,
Speaker 2: You're not wrong, and you're gonna understand why when you
Speaker 2: hear it in a brand news, say yes to the X.
Speaker 2: Right after this, it's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning,
Speaker 2: and it's time for another charming addition. Say yes to
Speaker 2: the X. This is what we're doing where we try
Speaker 2: to help a listener reconnect with an old fooling to
Speaker 2: see if there's any chemistry or desire lingering there hoping
Speaker 2: to be explored.
Speaker 1: And you know what, it's worked once this has Ye,
Speaker 1: that's not a high success rate, but it's better than
Speaker 1: before that.
Speaker 2: Time it worked. Yes, a success rate is there, and
Speaker 2: today's caller has actually been on the show with us before.
Speaker 2: You might remember one of the more disturbing second date
Speaker 2: calls we did last year, involving two people going to
Speaker 2: a red envelope party where after midnight, the party turns
Speaker 2: from nice to super naughty.
Speaker 1: Yes, kay, I do remember Red? Why did they end
Speaker 1: up dating?
Speaker 2: So Natalie was the woman that we called that day
Speaker 2: she said yes to our offer of a second date.
Speaker 2: But now she's back this time for say yes to
Speaker 2: the X. I think not the same guy that we
Speaker 2: hooked her up with that time on the show. But first, Natalie,
Speaker 2: we want to welcome you back. Thanks for being on again.
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me.
Speaker 2: Okay, I thought I'm not saying yes to this relationship
Speaker 2: that just happened like a month or two ago.
Speaker 3: Oh you mean Alvin.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what happened with that? Guy in the red envelope party.
Speaker 3: You're not going to believe this, but he turned out
Speaker 3: to be kind of a freak.
Speaker 1: No, that is literally the least shocking thing that you
Speaker 1: could have said.
Speaker 2: No way, You're right.
Speaker 3: I probably should have known. But it really sunk in
Speaker 3: when he started referring to his bedroom as the arena.
Speaker 1: Like he has, oh god, oh.
Speaker 3: Neon sign above his bed that says the arena.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, hold on, now, he's starting to sound like
Speaker 2: he's kind of a good guy. Are you sure that
Speaker 2: you should have ditched him a neon sign? Oh my god,
Speaker 2: welcome to the dedication.
Speaker 1: Which is worse that he's single, which means he's bringing
Speaker 1: new ladies into that place.
Speaker 2: Okay, but apparently this isn't about Alvin in his arena.
Speaker 2: We're focused on a new old guy. Yeah, tell us
Speaker 2: about your new old fling.
Speaker 3: Okay. So we dated like three years ago, and we
Speaker 3: dated for like six to seven months. His name's Caleb.
Speaker 1: And what made you start thinking about him again? Is
Speaker 1: it just by comparison to Alvin everybody, he's the only
Speaker 1: one that seems normal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's part of it. This guy was so
Speaker 3: sweet and I just I had like really good memories
Speaker 3: of him, and I was the one who sort of
Speaker 3: messed it up.
Speaker 1: Can we know how you messed it up? Uh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I was. I was unfaithful and I
Speaker 3: got caught.
Speaker 2: Yeah do you say you you got caught?
Speaker 3: Yeah? And I totally deserved him breaking up with me.
Speaker 3: But the thing is, I'm I'm not that person anymore,
Speaker 3: and I just know he's a solid person that doesn't
Speaker 3: have me on signs and giant arrows in his bedroom.
Speaker 2: Oh there's arrows too, Yeah, Okay, I like a map
Speaker 2: to follow.
Speaker 1: I mean, like, why would he want to take you back?
Speaker 1: I know that you know you're a change person, but
Speaker 1: why do you deserve Yeah?
Speaker 3: I mean I've done the work to improve myself and
Speaker 3: like be a better partner for him, And I just
Speaker 3: know that if you do get him on the phone,
Speaker 3: I'm sure the questions of trust will definitely come up,
Speaker 3: because that was kind of a big thing.
Speaker 2: I mean, that is a good question. What do you
Speaker 2: guys think can you come back from a cheating scandal?
Speaker 2: It depends on the person, Like how hot they are?
Speaker 1: You mean, if you're already cheating six months into a relationship,
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like you're you're fully I mean I think,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think once a cheater, always a cheater.
Speaker 1: Just doesn't sound like you were fully into him. A
Speaker 1: marriage you try to work out, you're just dating, doesn't
Speaker 1: find someone else, Like, it doesn't sound like you're you're
Speaker 1: really into the relationship to begin with.
Speaker 3: I mean I was. I just think that I've changed
Speaker 3: and I've done a lot of work on myself and
Speaker 3: I'm just a better person than I was when we
Speaker 3: were dating.
Speaker 2: Whether he takes you back or not right, And it's
Speaker 2: a lot of the grasses greener on the other side
Speaker 2: type of thinking. But in the last three years since
Speaker 2: you broke up, have you had any contact with your ex?
Speaker 2: Like at all?
Speaker 3: I tried, you know, I tried in that first year.
Speaker 3: I reached out more than a few times, and he
Speaker 3: made it clear he needed more time and space and
Speaker 3: he's gotten that now it's been three years, So yeah,
Speaker 3: he can't.
Speaker 2: Get three years. The problem?
Speaker 1: Oh man, do you know? Do you know is Caleb
Speaker 1: single right now?
Speaker 3: I don't know, honestly, And I like, I don't expect
Speaker 3: him to be like jumping at the chance to get
Speaker 3: back with me, but I would like to just grab
Speaker 3: a coffee and see if we have that same, like
Speaker 3: comfortable fun vibe between.
Speaker 2: Us, Okay, and invite him back into your arena.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's the Colisseum, what.
Speaker 2: Name, it's a bigger arena with people watching Madison Square Garden,
Speaker 2: that's right. Yeah, so obviously, Natalie, you know how this works.
Speaker 2: We had our producer reach out to your ex Caleb
Speaker 2: and was able to get him on the phone. He
Speaker 2: is waiting on hold right now, just doesn't know who
Speaker 2: he's about to be talking to. Are you ready to
Speaker 2: talk to your ex from three years ago and see
Speaker 2: if he's willing to say yes to the X?
Speaker 3: I think I'm ready. I'm ready. I can do this.
Speaker 1: If he hangs up, I mean, it's a tough one.
Speaker 2: It's understandable.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: But oh yeah, you know why I'm hanging up.
Speaker 1: Maybe he's up into it though, maybe we're wrong.
Speaker 2: I mean, she claims that she's changed a lot in
Speaker 2: that time, So we'll find out if that's enough and
Speaker 2: we come back and put them together for say yes
Speaker 2: to the X right after this.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much.
Speaker 2: Yeah, hold on, if you're just joining us, we're in
Speaker 2: the middle of say yes to the X with Natalie too.
Speaker 2: She's attempting to reconnect with the guy that she dated
Speaker 2: three years ago, and she told us that they had
Speaker 2: a fun, casual vibe together, but admits the biggest issue
Speaker 2: in their relationship was her unfaithfulness. Yeah, a little bit
Speaker 2: of an issue. Yeah, a little problem. She was caught,
Speaker 2: admitted it to the guy, regrets it, and since then
Speaker 2: has taken accountability for her actions. Chose to move on
Speaker 2: and work on herself and like to know if there's
Speaker 2: any chance at a second go around with this guy.
Speaker 2: And yeah, you make that sound great, because most cheaters
Speaker 2: won't admit it and fall on the sword and be
Speaker 2: the bigger person. Any Well, it's because personally, I believe
Speaker 2: in forgiveness, and in certain situations, maybe this is one
Speaker 2: of them. I'm hoping that enough time has passed that
Speaker 2: Caleb could find it in his heart to at least
Speaker 2: sit down and have a cup of coffee with her.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've never You've never been cheated on?
Speaker 3: Have you?
Speaker 1: I have?
Speaker 2: And I believe that there is goodness.
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I do think that people can
Speaker 1: grow and change and make different choices. But doesn't mean
Speaker 1: that's not on Caleb though you know that's.
Speaker 2: Onn have fun with your new life. It doesn't seem
Speaker 2: like too much nest for him to come sit down
Speaker 2: for coffee, right, Natalie, you're right about that, Natalie, you
Speaker 2: would agree.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's all I'm asking for, like just a coffee.
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean he owes you that it would be
Speaker 1: a kind Yeah, you could meet in the middle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he should pay for the coffee. No, it's
Speaker 2: just a gentleman.
Speaker 3: Now you're having it.
Speaker 1: Last time you've talked to him on a scale of
Speaker 1: one to like super angry, being ten, where was he at? Oh?
Speaker 3: I would probably say ten?
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, because she said that she tried texting him,
Speaker 2: but he was like, I don't want to talk to you.
Speaker 2: I need more time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not to sounds a lot more vulgar than that.
Speaker 2: Well, let's see what number he's at, because he is,
Speaker 2: remember waiting on hold, has not heard this segment happen
Speaker 2: up to this point, does not know the reason that
Speaker 2: he has been called by a radio show. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I feel like he might not be a full ten.
Speaker 2: Let's find out. I'm gonna punch him up. Let's producer
Speaker 2: Boyd really riled him up before putting him on the phone. No,
Speaker 2: boy can really get under your skin sometimes he does that.
Speaker 2: But here me. We're gonna talk to him a little
Speaker 2: bit and then we'll tell him that you're there. Okay, Natalie, Okay,
Speaker 2: thank you. Okay, So here we go everyone, Duck, Hello,
Speaker 2: Cayleb be there.
Speaker 1: Hey, Hey, welcome to the show.
Speaker 2: Caleb, good morning, Hey, good morning. How are you guys
Speaker 2: are doing? Man, thanks for being on the show with us.
Speaker 2: I know you don't know the reason why you're here yet.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all mysterious.
Speaker 3: What's going on?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it could be really fun. The reason.
Speaker 2: It could be what is it? It's this is a
Speaker 2: segment we do. It's called Say Yes to the X
Speaker 2: where somebody from your past who you've dated before wants
Speaker 2: to know if there is any shot of a second
Speaker 2: chance with you. And I know we don't even know,
Speaker 2: like what your situation is, if you're single, or what
Speaker 2: you've got going on in your life right now. Yeah,
Speaker 2: if you are taking we're not trying to disrespect right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah I am single.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's a good thing. I'm not sure if I
Speaker 2: want to talk to this person unless I know who
Speaker 2: it is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a valid request.
Speaker 2: Oh really, Okay, here we go drop that bone. We
Speaker 2: normally Okay, normally I wouldn't do this. Normally I just
Speaker 2: put you on the phone with them. But I can
Speaker 2: tell you it's somebody you dated for about half a
Speaker 2: year and her name is Natalie. Yeah, are you kidding me?
Speaker 2: I'm not.
Speaker 1: No, that was like, are you kidding me?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: That's this isn't going to be a thing. I don't
Speaker 2: I don't want to talk to her.
Speaker 1: Well, maybe she did come with a lot of regret
Speaker 1: for her actions and you may just want to hear
Speaker 1: her out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I'm assuming you're hesitant because of the whole
Speaker 2: infidelity thing. You're you're going to have to make that plural,
Speaker 2: my guy intidel teeth. Yeah, it wasn't once she cheated
Speaker 2: with thirteen people.
Speaker 1: Gosh, some work.
Speaker 2: But it sounds like you guys only dated for six months. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's what she told me when the truth came out
Speaker 2: when I called her.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh my god, Cayleb Caleb, Hi, we don't need
Speaker 3: to tell them all.
Speaker 1: That would happen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we do. You told me thirteen different dudes, the landlord,
Speaker 2: the cocaine guy, and my brother.
Speaker 3: Who okay, no, no, no, no, no, no no, your frat brother.
Speaker 3: That that's it's not like you're related.
Speaker 2: Wait what what brother?
Speaker 3: His frat brother?
Speaker 2: Oh, fraternity. They're not even real people, right?
Speaker 1: But yeah, right, heavy, it counts. It just doesn't as
Speaker 1: a brother.
Speaker 3: There was a lot of people, and I knew most
Speaker 3: of them, so listen. No, here's the difference. Back then,
Speaker 3: I was unhappy with myself and that had nothing to
Speaker 3: do with you.
Speaker 2: Except that we were together and you were cheating on him.
Speaker 3: Hey, right, But I was honest with you about it.
Speaker 3: I didn't hide it. I told you what was for
Speaker 3: a while until I found out with guy number thirty Okay, eventually,
Speaker 3: And that's my karma and something I dealt with and
Speaker 3: I'm over it now. I'm so much better.
Speaker 2: Oh sorry, I'm not over it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Natalie, did you really think like you didn't tell us?
Speaker 1: I had just assumed that it was one time.
Speaker 3: You know, I said that I was unfaithful. You didn't
Speaker 3: ask for like a specific number, you know what.
Speaker 1: I just caught her cheating.
Speaker 2: Well it's fair. We need to be better at asking
Speaker 2: questions when we're doing these segments. Let's keep that in mind.
Speaker 1: Did you cheat in any relationships after him?
Speaker 2: Well, that doesn't matter about that word.
Speaker 1: Because she says she's grown and changed.
Speaker 2: But we're not worried about her other relationships. We're worried
Speaker 2: about this relationship with Caleb. Caleb, she's done the work,
Speaker 2: she's moved past it. Are you ready to move past
Speaker 2: it yet?
Speaker 1: She was well done?
Speaker 2: But wild question.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, here's the deal with Like, I still live in
Speaker 2: the same building and I still have the same landlord.
Speaker 3: Who occasionally looked.
Speaker 2: At me weird.
Speaker 1: Maybe the word messed up that you didn't get a
Speaker 1: rent discount.
Speaker 3: It's not just the landlord. I mean she slept with
Speaker 3: the freaking escape room in Okay, Okay, stupid.
Speaker 1: Oh I need to hear this.
Speaker 3: It just kind of happened. We're locked in separate rooms.
Speaker 3: He was a team leader. You do what the team.
Speaker 2: Leader said, Oh, we have to get out of this room.
Speaker 2: Everyone take their pants on.
Speaker 1: Is the scape room employee? That isn't it? Twenty year
Speaker 1: old act d d You.
Speaker 2: Guys, Okay, you guys can see why we are not
Speaker 2: together now, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she slept with the guy in the middle of
Speaker 1: your date. Of course got together.
Speaker 2: So I don't want to say anything that I think
Speaker 2: her and Jeff are falling around a little when she
Speaker 2: was on hold. Yeah, by the way, team leader, you
Speaker 2: have to listen to the team leaders. Don't appreciate that guys.
Speaker 3: Are not helping.
Speaker 1: Why would you ever think that he would move past this? Listen,
Speaker 1: why did you ask this question? You just need to
Speaker 1: move on and give up.
Speaker 2: Brook What you're forgetting is this is all past stuff.
Speaker 2: That's great. We're talking three years ago, and I would
Speaker 2: hope that Caleb, you could find it somewhere in your
Speaker 2: heart to say yes, because this girl deserves a fourteenth
Speaker 2: chances today.
Speaker 1: You know what the saying is Fool me once, Shame
Speaker 1: on you, fool me fourteen times.
Speaker 2: Shame on the landlord.
Speaker 3: Okay, you guys are making such a big deal about
Speaker 3: the number of people, and the truth is like I've
Speaker 3: changed and I just want a cup of coffee.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, that's fine, but just maybe do it with
Speaker 1: a new guy. Well with Barista, may you get free coffee.
Speaker 2: That's before we even do that, we need to ask
Speaker 2: the whole purpose of this segment is Caleb, she wants it, Brooks.
Speaker 2: She's begging us for the coffee with Caleb.
Speaker 1: So, Caleb, that's like that team leader that escape.
Speaker 2: Caleb. Would you be willing to say yes to the
Speaker 2: X and meet up with Natalie for coffee? You know what,
Speaker 2: I think I actually have a thing or two of
Speaker 2: yours still at this apartment, So yeah, I can meet
Speaker 2: you up the coffee.
Speaker 3: Idiot, j Just so.
Speaker 2: You know, there is zero chance of me ever trusting
Speaker 2: you again or being in any kind of relationship.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you're gonna hook up over coffee.
Speaker 2: Yes, I hear there's a coffee themed escape from that
Speaker 2: they just started downtown.
Speaker 3: I am really a new woman, so you will see
Speaker 3: the new me. It's gonna be great.
Speaker 2: Well, let yourself shine.
Speaker 1: I mean I can see this new woman and we're
Speaker 1: proud of you for that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just go to coffee, bring your landlord, and let's
Speaker 2: squash old Ques. You know what, Bring all thirteen of
Speaker 2: those other guys back and we'll hash this out.
Speaker 1: What is this Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning,
