Speaker 1: Second. Most of the time, whenever we talk about forbidden
Speaker 1: love on the show, it's about Brooke and her insatiable
Speaker 1: thirst for her cousin Ron. Stop it. I do not
Speaker 1: like my cousin, not anymore, Oh my god. But alas,
Speaker 1: we're not dealing with that type of forbidden love, at
Speaker 1: least not today. One of our listeners, Mark says he
Speaker 1: dipped a toe into the forbidden pool of romance recently,
Speaker 1: and he's afraid the lifeguard won't let him cannonball all
Speaker 1: the way in, so he needs our he Mark, Welcome
Speaker 1: to the show, man. Hey, thank you, Oh man, I
Speaker 1: love a good, juicy story. I mean, I'm dying to
Speaker 1: know who you're talking about. Yeah, it's all us your situation. Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: so I have a best friend Stewart. I'm going by Stu.
Speaker 1: We've been really good friends since college. Oh, do you
Speaker 1: want to take it to the next level? No? Okay,
Speaker 1: well I thought forbid your best friend. Now I'm a
Speaker 1: straight sella and uh, you know and I have been
Speaker 1: really good buddies since college. You know, I know his family.
Speaker 1: I will go over his house all the time. He
Speaker 1: loves my family. That's the best. When you can just
Speaker 1: like walk in. Yeah, like you're the second son. Sometimes
Speaker 1: you prefer their family to your own family. Actually, most
Speaker 1: of the time, would take any family. Okay, that's cool.
Speaker 1: It's nice to have a close friend from college. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's like a brother to me. And I'm just afraid
Speaker 1: it may have ruined everything because I low key had
Speaker 1: crushed on his younger sister Lisa for a while. You
Speaker 1: did you hook up with her already? Um? Yeah, something
Speaker 1: did happen, you know, but it's been one of those
Speaker 1: things where you know, I couldn't even ask because he
Speaker 1: wouldn't be cool with it. Oh really, he wouldn't be. Well,
Speaker 1: there's two different types. Like I have a friend who's
Speaker 1: literally always asked like, bro, you should date my sister.
Speaker 1: Would be so cool? Yeah, stay away. I asked my
Speaker 1: best friend from high school if I could date his
Speaker 1: little sister and he said yes. But then I asked
Speaker 1: the sister and she said no. So that was a
Speaker 1: super low moment. Yeah, legally we're supposed to. Yeah, that's rough.
Speaker 1: I think it's really weird too, Like it's just like
Speaker 1: a kind of aggressive on your bros part. It may
Speaker 1: be weird. I mean, how old's a little sister how
Speaker 1: much younger she's seen a few years younger. I mean,
Speaker 1: nothing crazy, all right, So what happened. I was recently
Speaker 1: single and I was at a bar and I saw
Speaker 1: Lisa there. I went over and started talking to her
Speaker 1: and we were laughing about something, and I said, it's
Speaker 1: just under different circumstances. You know, I wasn't friends with
Speaker 1: your brother. I would have asked you out a long
Speaker 1: time ago. That's a lot yea. Yeah, you had to
Speaker 1: have been drunk when he said that, a little buzz. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got a little bit of that's confidence. Yeah. What
Speaker 1: did she say to that? She was like, well, maybe
Speaker 1: you should do it anyway. Oh god, this is why
Speaker 1: I always wanted an older brother. I never had one.
Speaker 1: I'm like, their friends would be so cute. Up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree, like friends with older brothers always had hot guys.
Speaker 1: You'd like to salute around with everybody and your friends.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Alexa. Okay, we got it. So she wanted
Speaker 1: you to ask her out. Yeah. I took that as
Speaker 1: a go ahead. So I was like, what are you
Speaker 1: doing ten minutes from now? And she said, oh, she said,
Speaker 1: I'm busy, but I'm available five minutes from now. I like, Lisa. Actually,
Speaker 1: you guys do have a good banter. Was it fun? Yeah,
Speaker 1: She's like meeting me outside in five So we ended
Speaker 1: up walking around and grabbing food at a food truck
Speaker 1: and we kind of set up making out so fun
Speaker 1: and it probably felt like you know, it's always fun
Speaker 1: when it's a little dangerous. Yeah, what was good, because
Speaker 1: there's a whole build up to that moment. Was it
Speaker 1: as good as you had thought it would be? It
Speaker 1: was great, And I mean we had I mean, we
Speaker 1: have a connection. You know, we had a lot of
Speaker 1: fun to hang out, and you know, we had known
Speaker 1: each other for so long, so it was a little
Speaker 1: you know, weird kissing someone that you know that you've
Speaker 1: known for for that long. But yeah, I mean that's
Speaker 1: good news. How did it? How did that night end? Well?
Speaker 1: I was like, we can't tell your brother about this,
Speaker 1: he said, M a grown woman. I can make my
Speaker 1: own decisions. I was gonna say that you guys are
Speaker 1: both adults, and now, I mean that makes it feel
Speaker 1: really immature by by trying to keep a secret. But
Speaker 1: I get why you're worried about it. If you really
Speaker 1: think he'd be that upset, Well, it kind of changed
Speaker 1: my tune after that, and I said, if anybody's gonna
Speaker 1: tell him, if it's got to be me, and I
Speaker 1: kind of need some time to figure out how to
Speaker 1: do that. Okay, what'd you say to that? Well, we
Speaker 1: just kind of got into a disagreement and it really
Speaker 1: just ended sort of weird. Oh Oh, did she like
Speaker 1: immediately leave and text her brother? Does he know? I
Speaker 1: don't know. Everything seems to be okay with two. She's
Speaker 1: not treating me different and I haven't brought it up,
Speaker 1: so I don't think she said anything. Okay. I mean
Speaker 1: hopefully she did and he's cool with it, but doesn't
Speaker 1: sound likely. Do you want to date her or do
Speaker 1: you just wanted it to be with that one night?
Speaker 1: Everything except for the end was awesome, and I you know,
Speaker 1: I would love to keep hanging out with her. Okay,
Speaker 1: you would like to see her. Let's take a quick
Speaker 1: vote around the room. Do we think that this is
Speaker 1: a good idea for him to date his best friend's
Speaker 1: younger sister Alexis? Yeah? Why not? Yeah? Okay, Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: into it. Yeah, the girls love Yeah. The worst thing
Speaker 1: that can happen you lose your best friend. Yeah. The
Speaker 1: romantic in me loves this because if you guys do
Speaker 1: I'm fast forwarding here, end up getting engaged or worried.
Speaker 1: You already have a family's blessing. You missed a lot
Speaker 1: of They kissed outside of a kill awesome truck, just
Speaker 1: saying the romantic in me things. This will go very well. Okay,
Speaker 1: And so I'm gonna I'm gonna vote no. This is
Speaker 1: probably not a good idea, but we're gonna that's all
Speaker 1: because you were rejected by a sister. If I can't
Speaker 1: have my best friends anyway, we're gonna call your best
Speaker 1: friend's sister, Lisa and try and get you a second
Speaker 1: date update right after this. All right, that's the awesome thing.
Speaker 1: All right? Hold on second, we're running a little bit
Speaker 1: short on time, so I'm gonna do a quick recap.
Speaker 1: A guy has a best friend from college, and he's
Speaker 1: had a crush on his friend's little sister for a
Speaker 1: few years now. One night, they ran into each other
Speaker 1: at a bar, ended up hanging out the rest of
Speaker 1: the evening, and even kissed outside of a food truck. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and Mark, here's my question, because I just want to
Speaker 1: make sure I heard it correctly. You definitely don't think
Speaker 1: her brother knows about this. No way, he would have
Speaker 1: freaked out on me by now for sure. Okay, so
Speaker 1: when do you want to tell him? Like a month
Speaker 1: in a year when you start popping out nieces and nephews.
Speaker 1: He when's the good time at the wedding? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I guess it depends on what happens. Really, just play
Speaker 1: it by a year. But today we're calling the little sister, right,
Speaker 1: we're not calling I mean, when was the last time
Speaker 1: you talked to her? Yeah? I haven't really talked to
Speaker 1: her since all this went down, Oh about three weeks?
Speaker 1: Oh oh wow, no checks. I have no idea what
Speaker 1: we're going to get on the other line when we
Speaker 1: call her, like we're a girl hopefully well I know
Speaker 1: she angry. Yeah, Okay, I'm going in with a positive attitude. Okay, Mark,
Speaker 1: you always do, jeff someone has to. Let's do it.
Speaker 1: Calling Lisa right now here we go. Okay, Hello, Hey
Speaker 1: is this Lisa? Yeah? This is she Lisa. How's it going?
Speaker 1: You're on the right now? Okay, wait, who is this? Well,
Speaker 1: we're a morning show called Brook and Jeffrey in the morning,
Speaker 1: and we are excited to talk to you. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: have a very interesting conversation looming here. I think I
Speaker 1: don't understand what's happening. I don't understand what you mean
Speaker 1: by a radio. Don't know what a radio. We have
Speaker 1: a lot of explaining to do here. We also do
Speaker 1: a podcast. Does that help? Probably? Okay? But why are
Speaker 1: you calling me? Yeah, we're calling becausin. We're doing a
Speaker 1: segment called a second Date Update, and we're trying to
Speaker 1: ask you a little bit about your interaction about three
Speaker 1: weeks ago with a guy named Mark, the family named Mark.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to label anything. Okay, what did he tell you? Like?
Speaker 1: What did he say? Yeah? Yeah, the whole have you
Speaker 1: guys met up randomly at a bar one night and
Speaker 1: ran into each other there, hung out the rest of
Speaker 1: the night. You guys went to a food truck. You
Speaker 1: remember this, right, Yeah, I very vividly remember this night. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: what did you think? Yeah? Yeah? I mean, can you
Speaker 1: start for the beginning, like when Mark said I want
Speaker 1: to ask you about on a date, Like, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's your brother's best friend. What were you thinking? So?
Speaker 1: At birth? I actually was like into it, just because
Speaker 1: I've always felt like Mark is kind of hot and
Speaker 1: fun and like, okay, it was exciting and felt this
Speaker 1: is gonna sound strange, but like a little bit dangerous
Speaker 1: and risky going behind my brother's back because yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know how much you know, but like Mark is
Speaker 1: best friends with my older brothers too. Yeah, okay, Well
Speaker 1: because of that though, after we kind of had our
Speaker 1: and we like kind of made out whatever, um, And
Speaker 1: then immediately Mark was like, but you can't tell your
Speaker 1: brother and that felt really gross to me, like really controlling. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like that felt like a red flag. Well, I don't
Speaker 1: think he was like trying to kill the romance or anything.
Speaker 1: I think he was just honestly worried that he might
Speaker 1: be blowing up a good friendship for this who wants
Speaker 1: to keep the goods with everybody, I guess, but that's
Speaker 1: not attractive to me, Like you're making out with me
Speaker 1: and now you're you're acting scared. I don't tell anybody.
Speaker 1: He probably should have waited him in five minutes or something.
Speaker 1: I mean, we told him that sounded pretty immature when
Speaker 1: he retold that. I mean he told us that you
Speaker 1: guys got into an argument about it, and it sounded
Speaker 1: like he kind of realized that too. Honestly, it was
Speaker 1: a little too late because I decided for sure I
Speaker 1: was going to tell my brother. Oh so wait, when
Speaker 1: did you tell him that night? What was his response? Well,
Speaker 1: my brother was cool with it, and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's not a big deal. Shirt Wait what seriously, hmmm,
Speaker 1: why was Mark so in his head about your brother
Speaker 1: being so weird about it? Then? Like yeah, he was
Speaker 1: like for certain that his best room be like deep,
Speaker 1: myst sister, she's mine, Yeah, weird. Well that's weird. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's whatever. So your brother was actually fine exactly, he said,
Speaker 1: Mark the good guy. If you want to hang out
Speaker 1: with him, that's cool with me for someone. But the riskiness,
Speaker 1: the dangerous part of it was gone, which like, okay,
Speaker 1: that's fine, not all my relationships need to be that.
Speaker 1: But then it just started becoming weird for me, like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm going to be like making out with my brother's
Speaker 1: best friend. This guy knows all my brother's deep secrets.
Speaker 1: Like that's not something. So it didn't freak your brother out,
Speaker 1: it freaked you out to think about the risk and
Speaker 1: the danger was gone, and then so that romance left.
Speaker 1: But like, what if I told you, if you're into
Speaker 1: risk in danger. There's been somebody secretly listening in on
Speaker 1: this conversation on the other line. What he wanted to
Speaker 1: talk to you? I just don't really know what this is.
Speaker 1: What do you mean? I mean Mark has been quietly listening,
Speaker 1: wanting to jump in and super creepy than risk. It's dangerous.
Speaker 1: He's a dangerous bay. Oh yeah either, bad boy. Wait,
Speaker 1: so Mark heard everything? I just said, Yes, you can
Speaker 1: ask them or do there? Mark? You told your brother,
Speaker 1: like right off the bath, that's what you did. Of course,
Speaker 1: I'm able to make my own decisions and I decided
Speaker 1: to do that. Yes, that's the first thing you have
Speaker 1: to say about all of this. I just I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know why you would do that, Like that
Speaker 1: would be your first instinct when I was like, I'm
Speaker 1: worried about it, but whatever, I mean, he was cool
Speaker 1: with it, Mark, Yes, I mean that's unexpected. And I
Speaker 1: was just trying to be cautious about relationships. See that's
Speaker 1: the problem right there. Mark, You're trying to be cautious
Speaker 1: and she's into dangers. Got to be dangerous if that's true.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm still plenty dangerous. Really, Yeah, your your your
Speaker 1: family would hate it. If we hooked up. I don't
Speaker 1: think family, like, have you told your mom about it? No,
Speaker 1: believe it or not. I didn't call my mom. You're
Speaker 1: You're lucky you didn't tell your mom. She would have
Speaker 1: been super angry and pissed. Oh dangerous. Don't tell the
Speaker 1: dog either, family anymore? Your best friend und he's trying
Speaker 1: to make it sound dangerous. And if you think your
Speaker 1: parents would be up set, no, I think they'd be
Speaker 1: fine with it too, which makes it? Can you actually
Speaker 1: more lame? I mean Mark, I think not everyone approving
Speaker 1: of a healthy relationship. I think we need to play
Speaker 1: up Mark's good parts. Right. Everyone says he's a great
Speaker 1: guy in your family, he obviously likes you, and you
Speaker 1: guys know each other really well, like that can be
Speaker 1: a real foundation for something. Yeah, but I'm just saying
Speaker 1: I feel like with Mark specifically, i'd want it to
Speaker 1: feel more dangerous and it doesn't. And so that's just
Speaker 1: kind of where I'm at. Okay, so maybe that was
Speaker 1: the interact. I do other dangerous things, you know. I
Speaker 1: gamble until I have no money. That okay, So that's
Speaker 1: just irresponsible. But I'm not dangerous. He's like, I also
Speaker 1: have horrible credit. What do you think of that? Sometimes?
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, what we would like to do,
Speaker 1: Lisa is send you and Mark out on another day
Speaker 1: and we would pay for it. You see that? Look
Speaker 1: at that a man who won't even pay for his
Speaker 1: own dates, oh because he ran out of money gamble.
Speaker 1: Isn't that naughty? What do you think, Lisa? Well, I
Speaker 1: hear that you want to do that, and Mark probably
Speaker 1: wants to do that, But I do not want to
Speaker 1: look at that. We finally found someone that doesn't approve
Speaker 1: of the relationship. Dating him would go against your own wishes.
Speaker 1: He doesn't get any more naughty and risky than that.
Speaker 1: I think that. Jeff Yeah, yeah, yeah, but listen, I
Speaker 1: do want to say I'm okay with us still being friends,
Speaker 1: but like, all of this is really awkward. So I
Speaker 1: think maybe let's shift have some distance for a bit
Speaker 1: and I'll see you when I think you okay, great,
Speaker 1: you have Thanksgiving? Okay, Wow, I definitely shouldn't have kids
Speaker 1: to you. Okay, maybe we can do. I'll laugh about
Speaker 1: this in the future and Thanksgiving Brooke and Jeffrey in
Speaker 1: the morning,
