Speaker 3: to get from the one guy who won't make direct
Speaker 3: eye contact with you to the one who just can't.

Speaker 3: For one of our listeners, if you gave him a
Speaker 3: million guesses. Never in his wildest dreams did he think

Speaker 5: guys know how these things work? Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've hosted them before.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean it's timed right, So you have a couple

Speaker 2: Man, you like, write down what number you like the
Speaker 2: best at the end of the night.
Speaker 4: Yeah, last night? Yeah, accurate.
Speaker 2: When you host him, you have to explain.

Speaker 5: of good people have a good conversation, but the third
Speaker 5: person I recognize them?
Speaker 4: Oh really, the third woman that you met with?
Speaker 2: What do you know here from?
Speaker 5: She is my ex wife?
Speaker 2: Oh? Is not small? The girlfriend?
Speaker 6: Oh my god?
Speaker 7: Are you like?
Speaker 2: Can I skip table three?
Speaker 4: How was that interaction?
Speaker 5: Well, if it was a normal interaction, I wouldn't be
Speaker 5: calling I wouldn't Yeah, okay.
Speaker 4: I mean drama.
Speaker 6: Did you thank you?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 2: No? I want to know what the breakup was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: you give us the t first. Are you guys friendly
Speaker 2: or not?
Speaker 5: It was amicable things. I just didn't end up working out.
Speaker 5: It didn't end ugly, no kids, It was a pretty
Speaker 5: clean break.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's good.
Speaker 4: How long were you together?
Speaker 5: We were only married about a year and it was
Speaker 5: it was a long time ago. We just got married
Speaker 5: a little too young.
Speaker 2: I hadn't found yourself yet. Yeah, okay, got it.
Speaker 4: So did you interact with her? Like what do you
Speaker 4: do at the speed dating event with your ex wife?
Speaker 5: Well, I mean we talked and I thought it went well.
Speaker 5: And I'm very surprised by that.
Speaker 1: Okay, Like well and like maybe you could be friends
Speaker 1: or like, well, and what are you doing.
Speaker 5: Inst Well, I realized that out of everybody there, I
Speaker 5: still had the most chemistry with her.
Speaker 3: Well, to be fair, you did have like a year
Speaker 3: of connection with her before that, so she did have
Speaker 3: a slight advantage over all the other women.
Speaker 2: Wedding together with.
Speaker 1: Well, you're saying that it's probably good that he didn't
Speaker 1: have more of a connection with the stranger.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's like I like rom coms. He's like me too,
Speaker 4: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: But sometimes that works out.
Speaker 1: I got people who got divorced and then remarried later
Speaker 1: and ended up staying together forever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's not impossible. So where where's your head at?
Speaker 5: Well, the breakup was eight years ago. A lot of
Speaker 5: time has passed. We are different people than we were before,
Speaker 5: and I want to give it another go.
Speaker 4: Okay are you asking?
Speaker 1: I need to know what kind of signs were you
Speaker 1: getting from her that she'd be open to this.
Speaker 5: I mean it's hard to tell. We didn't have much
Speaker 5: time together, maybe three minutes, but there's a lot of smiles.
Speaker 5: We laughed a lot. It was a good time.
Speaker 1: I mean, Okay, So, like, what's the worst that can happen,
Speaker 1: you know, asking your ex wife out she's already divorced you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't get lower than that.
Speaker 5: I mean, worst case scenario, I just get divorced the
Speaker 5: second time I'm married.
Speaker 4: You can day without marrying people, you know, it's hard
Speaker 4: to do that.
Speaker 2: You guys, that doesn't count a second time. It's like
Speaker 2: when you hook up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you can just get married unlimited time. This is
Speaker 4: a healthy way to approach it.
Speaker 3: So I'm curious what made you reach out to our
Speaker 3: show for help? Like, what are you looking to do?
Speaker 3: With your awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 5: We've kept in touch since then. We've been texting, but

Speaker 5: because I don't know how to start that again without
Speaker 5: it being really weird.

Speaker 3: little bit of help.

Speaker 5: Oh, her name is Janelle.
Speaker 2: Janelle.
Speaker 1: Oh, Sean and Janelle is a cute couple names.
Speaker 4: It's like Chanelle if you put it together.
Speaker 2: What was your wedding hashtag? Something like that.
Speaker 5: That was a long time ago. Hashtags weren't really popular
Speaker 5: back then.
Speaker 3: Oh well, maybe this is a good selling point when
Speaker 3: we get her on the phone.
Speaker 6: Hey, we have a hashat.
Speaker 3: Okay, we ship Chanel and we'll see if she ships
Speaker 3: it too when we come back.
Speaker 4: Give you our advice.

Speaker 3: It's Tuesday.
Speaker 4: It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 3: Is it ever a good idea to give it another
Speaker 3: try with your ex? That's what one of our listeners, Sean,
Speaker 3: has been wondering lately after bumping into his ex wife
Speaker 3: at a speed dating event. Yeah, their marriage, you should know,
Speaker 3: was very short. It ended about eight years ago, but
Speaker 3: they were young. They say they got married a little
Speaker 3: bit too early.
Speaker 2: He says that that's what he said. We don't know, yes.
Speaker 3: Exactly, but after he saw her the other night, he's
Speaker 3: been thinking about her a lot, wondering if maybe they
Speaker 3: should try going out again, and could it possibly be
Speaker 3: better than the first time.
Speaker 1: Well, and they met at a speed dating event, so
Speaker 1: she's definitely open to dating right now and single right Hey,
Speaker 1: that's smart.
Speaker 3: I don't thinking about that, But is she open to
Speaker 3: dating her ex husband? Does he even pose that question
Speaker 3: to her without sounding like a total lunatic. That's where
Speaker 3: our advice comes in. So, Jose, what have you got
Speaker 3: for him?
Speaker 4: If you want to.
Speaker 6: See if there's still something between you and your ex,
Speaker 6: you just need to get her in the right mindset.
Speaker 6: Bring up your favorite memory of you two being happy together,
Speaker 6: and that's going to get her in that headspace of
Speaker 6: the good times.
Speaker 4: Okay, right, I see what you're saying, Sean. What do
Speaker 4: you think about that?
Speaker 5: At a little embarrassing?
Speaker 4: Oh embarrassing?
Speaker 5: Ah?
Speaker 4: Was that remember when we were happy?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Even just your wedding day I think would be a.
Speaker 2: Good Do you have a hard time with emotions?
Speaker 5: You need to know that now it's actually the morning
Speaker 5: after it was a mild hangover.
Speaker 2: You don't need to tell us. You can tell her.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we don't need to know it. I'm sure Janelle
Speaker 4: will remember. But that's one's advice.
Speaker 3: Get her head in the right place by bringing up
Speaker 3: something happy from your time together, brook.
Speaker 4: Brook What do you think.
Speaker 2: I'm not trusting him either.
Speaker 1: That's why we're just gonna alter that advice a little bit.
Speaker 1: In set a favorite memory. Let's bring up hottest memory, right.
Speaker 2: The best, most adventurous, whatever you had. That's that's where
Speaker 2: you need.
Speaker 4: This is less for Janelle and more for just Brooks.
Speaker 4: She wants to hear it.
Speaker 5: I'm not sure about that one.
Speaker 2: She doesn't want to talk about hot things. Don't talk
Speaker 2: about happy things.
Speaker 5: John, I'm nervous.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, you don't have to give all the gory details.
Speaker 1: Just say, like, remember that time at the lake cabin,
Speaker 1: Like that's all you'll You'll brook.
Speaker 4: With the lake cabin a personal life out of this,
Speaker 4: I know she does.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's remember it's.

Speaker 3: give you another piece of advice. Let's just call Janelle.
Speaker 3: We'll see if she answers, and hopefully we can get
Speaker 3: her to agree to you the.
Speaker 4: Idea of going out with you one more time. I
Speaker 4: think it sounds cool.

Speaker 5: back to eight years ago.
Speaker 7: Okay, do you do.
Speaker 5: You remember the treehouse that one summer?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I remember?
Speaker 7: But why are we talking about this?
Speaker 5: Because it was a good hot memory, you know, the
Speaker 5: door showers, the fun. It just it's been on my mind.
Speaker 7: Okay, Honestly, I gotta go, But I mean I'm sure
Speaker 7: i'll see you around or whatever.
Speaker 5: Before you go. I do have some things I want
Speaker 5: to say that are a little more thought out. Okay,
Speaker 5: I know it sounds crazy. I mean, we got married before,
Speaker 5: and we got married for a reason when we really
Speaker 5: liked each other way back then, and being with you
Speaker 5: again it felt amazing, and.
Speaker 7: I mean, well, I mean, if I'm being honest, it
Speaker 7: was really good to see you again too. But I
Speaker 7: was kind of surprise as you were even there.
Speaker 5: Surprised that was why.
Speaker 7: Well, because a year and a half ago I ran
Speaker 7: into Joe. He told me the situation and.
Speaker 5: What situation you know that you're.
Speaker 7: That you're gay.
Speaker 5: Oh oh, what what I mean?
Speaker 7: It's okay? Like everybody knows what?
Speaker 2: Why is he confused?
Speaker 5: What are you?
Speaker 7: What are you talking about? Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Hey Janelle, I don't know if you can hear.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you're on the radio right now.
Speaker 7: This is I don't know what is going on?
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is We're a radio show called Brook and
Speaker 4: Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 7: Hi, good morning that and everybody heard that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody, We've all been listening to your conversation because
Speaker 3: Sean needed our help.
Speaker 4: He told us about running into you at the speed.
Speaker 3: Dating event the other night and he felt, yeah, there's
Speaker 3: a connection.
Speaker 1: You know, people go between right like people tay guys
Speaker 1: and people tay girls and that's totally fine.
Speaker 4: Yeah. But Sean, why do you sound confused.
Speaker 5: Because I'm not day? Are you sure.
Speaker 7: It's not something you have to hide?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 7: I still even talk to your mom and she thinks
Speaker 7: the same thing.
Speaker 5: She knows my mother.
Speaker 4: What everyone?
Speaker 7: You know what?
Speaker 3: It sounds like you've got some fires to put out
Speaker 3: with all of your other friends and family, Sean.
Speaker 1: But are you just like embarrassed about the information coming out?
Speaker 1: Is that? Yeah?
Speaker 5: I swear I'm not gay? I've never been gay. We
Speaker 5: got married, but that doesn't mean anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 4: I think we're really losing the point.
Speaker 3: We need to refocus because the whole reason that we
Speaker 3: made this call Janelle. Obviously you don't know this, but
Speaker 3: we're trying to see if there's still any potential romantically
Speaker 3: between you and Sean.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now that you know that he also likes women only, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, it opened for him.
Speaker 2: He needs to go either way.
Speaker 5: To me, I am interested in women. I am interested
Speaker 5: in you, Like, are you sure or is this just like.
Speaker 1: I think it's just because you were so awkward about
Speaker 1: bringing up that treehouse memory.
Speaker 4: Of the hook up.
Speaker 5: That was your advice.
Speaker 1: I meant to do it in a more comfortable, like
Speaker 1: sexy way.
Speaker 4: You that, Okay, do you get your husband in the woods.
Speaker 4: Let's forget the treehouse.
Speaker 3: Let's let's focus more on you and Janelle possibly hanging out.
Speaker 2: It sounds like she's starting to like process the information.
Speaker 5: Yeah, don't believe any rumors from my stupid friend.
Speaker 2: Or rumors from your stupid mom and.
Speaker 7: Your mom like your mom.
Speaker 5: I guess I need to have a conversation with you.
Speaker 2: But hey, great, you're from such a loving family.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, Sean, why don't you give you know, one
Speaker 3: final pitch on why she should see you.
Speaker 5: I like the chemistry we had eight years ago and
Speaker 5: a couple of nights ago good, and I think it's
Speaker 5: worth another shot to at least go out on a date.
Speaker 2: Come on, Janelle, Like, what is going to drinks with
Speaker 2: your ex husband?
Speaker 7: Hurt? I mean, if you tell me how your mom reacts,
Speaker 7: then it might be worth it.
Speaker 3: After their conversation, I don't.
Speaker 2: Think Janelle believes you still shot.
Speaker 4: Janelle, you need to meet up and find out.
Speaker 5: I believe you, but I mean, I'll talk to my
Speaker 5: mom and over dinner, I'll tell you what happened.
Speaker 4: Wow, that is romantic.
Speaker 1: Okay, that was the hottest start of a.
Speaker 3: Data I feel like I'm in that tree house right
Speaker 3: next to the outdoor shower all over again. Goodness, Brook
Speaker 3: and Jeffrey in the morning. Brook, he really didn't like
Speaker 3: your advice, even though he did use it.
Speaker 2: Because he can't be sexy. It's not my pot Okay,
Speaker 2: it's not my fault.
Speaker 1: That was the most awkward way to bring up a
Speaker 1: hot memory.
Speaker 3: Ever.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I agree.
Speaker 3: I think from now on you need to give your
Speaker 3: advice and also tell them how to say it.
Speaker 2: She wasn't even impressed when he's a treehouse. It's so
Speaker 2: maybe it wasn't as hot as he thought.
Speaker 3: Well, he just doesn't have your sex appeal. You just
Speaker 3: use sultry every day. That's what jose and I talk about.
Speaker 3: It's oozing again.
Speaker 2: It's hard to be me. Just this curse that I've
Speaker 2: been dealt in life.
Speaker 6: She's always wearing a silk robe.
Speaker 2: Smoking a pie.
Speaker 4: Careful, you're turning everybody off.
Speaker 2: Why do I have an ask?
Speaker 4: On? Bottom line? It worked whether or not it was sexy.
Speaker 3: It got the job done, and our podcast is working too,
Speaker 3: So go find it, like comments.
Speaker 4: Subscribe it gets hot.
Speaker 3: Soon, and submit yourself to us. It's Brook and Jeffrey
Speaker 3: in the Morning.
