Speaker 1: Second day you're going back home for the holidays can
Speaker 1: be really fun. Yeah, yeah, it's so exciting. It can
Speaker 1: be great to reconnect with your siblings again, your grandparents,
Speaker 1: relatives you haven't seen in a while, and if you're
Speaker 1: really lucky, you might even see someone from your past
Speaker 1: and have a little holiday hookups. Wait your family when
Speaker 1: everybody goes out, exactly your old pe coach reconnect one
Speaker 1: year and get the second base or something. No, he married.
Speaker 1: I think one of my other friends. Too bad for you, Brooke,
Speaker 1: mister Chance. But one of our listeners, Simone, reconnected with
Speaker 1: someone recently. Not a next boyfriend. It was just a
Speaker 1: guy from her high school. And I'm curious about how
Speaker 1: it went down because she's on the phone right now, Simone.
Speaker 1: So what was this a fellow student or a faculty member?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it was not a faculty member. Was
Speaker 1: a student? Okay? Honestly I hooked up with more guys
Speaker 1: from my high school way post high school than I
Speaker 1: did in high school. I was too darky in high school.
Speaker 1: Nobody wanted to I try. It's not that I didn't try.
Speaker 1: Some are late linked to skank and some bloomers. Yeah
Speaker 1: all right, Yeah, as long as you get it done.
Speaker 1: So someone who's this guy that you met up with?
Speaker 1: So his name is Jack and we reconnected over Facebook
Speaker 1: because I had posted that I was coming home and
Speaker 1: I was really excited to spend time with my family
Speaker 1: and friends like the holidays, and I was trying to
Speaker 1: kind of give everybody heads up that I went to
Speaker 1: school with so we could try to plan something and
Speaker 1: all catch up. Yeah, it's like like a mini informal
Speaker 1: reunion almost. Yeah. Yeah, And did you know that you
Speaker 1: wanted to hook up with him immediately or did you
Speaker 1: want to wait and see how it went? Well? So
Speaker 1: that's the thing, is it? Like, this is a guy
Speaker 1: that we've never dated. We were always kind of floating
Speaker 1: around in like neighboring circles, but we were never super close. Okay,
Speaker 1: and got it. He was one of the first people
Speaker 1: to comment on this post. I was like, Oh, this
Speaker 1: would be great. We'd love to catch up. And I
Speaker 1: was like catch up, Like what do we have to
Speaker 1: talk about? What's like we didn't you know, you know
Speaker 1: some people who stay in the hometown that you're from. Yes,
Speaker 1: maybe needs some outside influence everyone to watch ye let
Speaker 1: me tell you, I will not miss an opportunity to
Speaker 1: show off my glow up. So okay, so what did
Speaker 1: you and Jack do when you met up? Well, this
Speaker 1: is the thing. So we were texting for a while
Speaker 1: until I got back and trying to make plans, and
Speaker 1: I was staying with my family, so I was like,
Speaker 1: why don't we just make it easy. You can come
Speaker 1: pick me up from my family's place and we'll go
Speaker 1: wherever you want to go. Oh, so this feels more
Speaker 1: like a date than a hangout if it's just you too, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess so I think maybe I don't know if
Speaker 1: that was the intention, but things kind of ended up
Speaker 1: taking a slight turn and it wasn't really anybody's fault.
Speaker 1: But he came to pick me up when I was
Speaker 1: I just finished dinner with my family, and my family
Speaker 1: was like, oh, you know, why don't you come in
Speaker 1: for a second, which I kind of gave him the
Speaker 1: look of like you don't know how to do this,
Speaker 1: But he was very cool and came in and we
Speaker 1: all were just hanging. It was really sweet, like they
Speaker 1: were all hanging out for a while, and like, because like,
Speaker 1: it's not like he knew your family in high school.
Speaker 1: You guys weren't even really fair, high pressure situation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know. If that happened to me, I would absolutely
Speaker 1: not want to go inside there. I do not want
Speaker 1: to spend my precious free time during the holidays meeting
Speaker 1: some other person's family. Would I love meeting families, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but not people meeting mine? And parents always love me. Okay,
Speaker 1: we get it, Brook, You're amazing. Everybody think the best
Speaker 1: person in the world, and everyone wants to their kids
Speaker 1: don't like me, but they like me. Okay, So what
Speaker 1: happened with Jack, Well, so we're all talking and we
Speaker 1: ended up like playing some games and everybody good time.
Speaker 1: So the time. Yeah, yeah, I mean I didn't mean
Speaker 1: for that to happen, and it just kind of did.
Speaker 1: Playing the piano, singing carols together. He was into it though, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was. And I will say this, my dad was
Speaker 1: a little tipsy, which around the holidays is not a surprise. Yeah.
Speaker 1: He was kind of ribbing them a little bit, like,
Speaker 1: what are your intentions with my daughter? I know, I know,
Speaker 1: let me go to the laundry room and then I'll
Speaker 1: show you. Is that not how your guys family holidays? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I never had to take take my dad into the
Speaker 1: laundering room. Yeah, just a pe teacher. I know how
Speaker 1: to jack handle the ribbing. He just kind of laughed
Speaker 1: it off, and finally I kind of pulled him aside
Speaker 1: and it was like, hey, listen, we can get out
Speaker 1: of here whenever you need to, Like we already were
Speaker 1: here a lot longer than I thought. And he was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I just got a text from more my friends and
Speaker 1: they really need me, so I actually I have to
Speaker 1: get going. Yeah, and he's like, well, we'll we'll catch
Speaker 1: up in a few days. And of course, in my head,
Speaker 1: I'm like, did he really get a text from his
Speaker 1: friend or I think that maybe he didn't. I don't know,
Speaker 1: like maybe he thought you guys were just going out
Speaker 1: as friends, and then your dad is assuming that you're
Speaker 1: a couple. Like it just it feels like a lot
Speaker 1: of weirdness. Yeah, I agree. And the way we left
Speaker 1: it was we'll make more plans, we'll text him, we'll
Speaker 1: figure it out, and then just never heard back from him. Oh,
Speaker 1: complete ghost. It's not like he's stalling, no, no, Like
Speaker 1: I just he just went radio silent and I don't
Speaker 1: know what happened. Are you crushing on him still? Like
Speaker 1: you still like him began. I mean, especially to like
Speaker 1: seeing how cool he was with hanging out with my
Speaker 1: family for a little bit. That's impressive. Now, I did
Speaker 1: have a weird thought, though, like, while he was bonding
Speaker 1: with your family, do you have any um single siblings
Speaker 1: or single hot ants that maybe like could have swooped in. No,
Speaker 1: I'm the only girl of two brothers. Maybe that's an
Speaker 1: option for him though. Yeah, I mean there's a chance
Speaker 1: that someone could have like taken him from you, right
Speaker 1: from under your nose family dynamics. If that's the case,
Speaker 1: it's called the holidays. But let's find out what really
Speaker 1: happened when we play a song. Come back, call him
Speaker 1: and try and get your second date update. All right,
Speaker 1: thank you? All right. Hold on. One of the main
Speaker 1: rules of dating, and I think everybody knows this is
Speaker 1: if you really like someone, you do not introduce them
Speaker 1: to your family for at least three to four years
Speaker 1: one hundred percent sure they won't be scared off. Wow,
Speaker 1: I would say probably even pop out a few kids
Speaker 1: with them before they meet the family, just to be safe.
Speaker 1: Or you could end up like Simone who was supposed
Speaker 1: to go out with an old high school friend named
Speaker 1: Jack till her family invited him inside during the holidays,
Speaker 1: and look what happened. I mean, he ran away. Hasn't
Speaker 1: been heard from since that night. I should have heard
Speaker 1: your advice first year. Yeah, are we blaming the drunk dad?
Speaker 1: Is that where we're blaming? Or no, we don't know
Speaker 1: who to blame. That's where I'm leaning. Even that it's
Speaker 1: a joke, it's still very intimidating to know your dad
Speaker 1: is even thinking that. It's such an old cliche joke,
Speaker 1: like order your intention. I'm gonna a polish my gun. Yeah, simone,
Speaker 1: do you wish that you hadn't let him come inside
Speaker 1: that house that night? I mean, yeah, we know where
Speaker 1: to send it up. Yeah, absolutely true answer. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: I mean, or do you wish that your dad was funnier?
Speaker 1: I mean he thinks it's funny, which is way worse. Yeah. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Well we're gonna try and get you a second chance. Here.
Speaker 1: We're gonna call Jack and find out which member of
Speaker 1: your family is the one to blame. Or maybe it
Speaker 1: was something that was totally unrelated. We think it has
Speaker 1: to be the fam. I mean, come on, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: like the holiday edition of Clue. Oh yeah, is it
Speaker 1: the mom in the kitchen with the butcher knife for
Speaker 1: Colonel Father. Yea, let's get to the bottom of this.
Speaker 1: I'm in a Dallas number right now here we go Hello,
Speaker 1: And there was brushing the microphone. Hey is this Jack? Uh? Yes,
Speaker 1: this is he. You are waiting and ready? I like Jack.
Speaker 1: I know you see Jack. You're you're on the radio
Speaker 1: right now with Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Uh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I seem alert because I entered business calls are day.
Speaker 1: Uh this is kind of a business call. It's about
Speaker 1: your business. Yeah, your personal business with an old friend
Speaker 1: of yours name Simone. Wait, what is this about? What's
Speaker 1: going on? This is about a segment we do on
Speaker 1: our show called a second Date Update, and our our
Speaker 1: listeners will reach out to us sometimes and ask us
Speaker 1: to help them reconnect with an old fling or an
Speaker 1: old date that they went out with that they haven't
Speaker 1: heard from in a while. Okay, but I'm not old.
Speaker 1: I'm not an old person. Old people. You answered a
Speaker 1: phone number that you didn't recognize. That is old. Oh, Jack,
Speaker 1: I bet you're regretting it right now. I was just,
Speaker 1: you know, I thought maybe something was wrong with my
Speaker 1: car's extended warranty. It's okay. Yeah, Look, we all make mistakes,
Speaker 1: and your mistake was answering this call. But we do
Speaker 1: want to get some answers because Simone told us that
Speaker 1: you guys hung out the other night, and you know,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I just
Speaker 1: know I don't think I want to do this, Okay,
Speaker 1: is it because it wasn't supposed to be a date
Speaker 1: with Simone. Is supposed to just be more like of
Speaker 1: a friend hang out like no, no, no, no, no no,
Speaker 1: no no, I'm definitely interested in Simone. Well, well I
Speaker 1: was interested was I mean, look, I know you're hesitant
Speaker 1: on talking about it, and I understand that, but can
Speaker 1: you put yourself in Simone's shoes here? Because she was
Speaker 1: really looking forward to spending time with you and reconnecting.
Speaker 1: And I mean she had no intention of the night
Speaker 1: going the way that it did, where you were invited
Speaker 1: into her family's house. Yeah, I mean she thought you.
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe she read it wrong. The only reason
Speaker 1: you guys stayed there was because she thought you were
Speaker 1: having a good time hanging out with her family and
Speaker 1: playing board games. Whoa you guys know a lot about
Speaker 1: what happened, like like date detectives. Yeah, yeah, it's kind
Speaker 1: of weird. What we talked. We talked. She told us
Speaker 1: about what happened that night, and we were wondering if
Speaker 1: something happened while you were in the house with her
Speaker 1: family that made you No, No, it was just well
Speaker 1: it wasn't It was just an uncomfortable such a she
Speaker 1: feels bad for that. Yeah, well no, but just no,
Speaker 1: not not going in and talking to her family. Her
Speaker 1: family was great, nice and so great that maybe you
Speaker 1: hooked up with one of them. What. Okay, that was
Speaker 1: a theory that I had, and I'm glad that we
Speaker 1: can squash it right now. But yeah, so he can.
Speaker 1: Definitely was the text that you got the emergency text?
Speaker 1: Was that real or was that fake? Uh? No, no,
Speaker 1: no it was not real. I did not emergency, but
Speaker 1: she knew that. So don't feel bad admitting that. Like,
Speaker 1: I mean, it was pretty obvious what made you run
Speaker 1: from the house. So what made what made me need
Speaker 1: to leave is um I was having a nice chat
Speaker 1: with her mom and as as we're talking, I look
Speaker 1: over and I see some Christmas cards and I see
Speaker 1: one from Simone with a another guy and they're both
Speaker 1: like uggled up together, and it was like a looked
Speaker 1: like a you know, a couple had sent a card
Speaker 1: and it was Simone and this dude. Well obviously, I mean,
Speaker 1: she didn't mention anything about an ex boyfriend, but obviously
Speaker 1: the card could have been sent out long before. And
Speaker 1: then they broke up, Like, really do you send Christmas card?
Speaker 1: Who brings a guy over to your house with your
Speaker 1: family if you're dating someone else to a point where
Speaker 1: you're sending Christmas cards together, Like, why wouldn't you just
Speaker 1: ask Simone? Then? Why wouldn't you ask her? Because I
Speaker 1: just felt like, in order to not just escalate things,
Speaker 1: I wanted to I just you know, I mean, well
Speaker 1: you just wanted to jump to conclusions. I know you
Speaker 1: just took pictures recently. She obviously probably I know you
Speaker 1: don't want to have that awkward conversation with her, but
Speaker 1: I kind of do right now because she's on the
Speaker 1: other line listening and wants to be asked an awkward,
Speaker 1: escalating question. What Simon, I'm yeah, Hi, Hi, You've been
Speaker 1: listening this whole time. This is like, this is so awkward.
Speaker 1: I know, I'm sorry. I mean, it's kind of cool.
Speaker 1: That you went to these lengths to try to get
Speaker 1: a hold of me. But I just, you know, I
Speaker 1: just this is just really bizarre. So who is the guy?
Speaker 1: Come on, tell me? Are you seeing? Are you in
Speaker 1: a relationship? Because like, okay, well hold on, Jack, you're
Speaker 1: asking like five different questions. Let's just let's do one
Speaker 1: question at a time. Who's the guy? Oh? I was
Speaker 1: gonna start what kind of sweater are you wearing right now?
Speaker 1: Because that I might ease his tension a little bit.
Speaker 1: First of all, I can't believe you even saw that card.
Speaker 1: I I'm so mad at my mom right now? Are
Speaker 1: you dating that guy? Not technically? Oh dude, what your
Speaker 1: parents are? Wing? Wing? Manny your side piece? No, so listen, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll be honest. That guy's is a guy that I
Speaker 1: dated for a while, and we always did these stupid
Speaker 1: Christmas cards And we're not exclusive. We are not together.
Speaker 1: We hook up every once in a while, but we're
Speaker 1: not there. Okay, but you promise you're not exclusive with him? Oh,
Speaker 1: you're not exclusive and you send Christmas cards out together?
Speaker 1: That seems yeah. Yeah, it was more of a joke
Speaker 1: because we would do it every year, so we kind
Speaker 1: of just kept up with the tradition because we both
Speaker 1: didn't want our families hackling us at the holidays for
Speaker 1: being single. So we were like, we should just do
Speaker 1: a Christmas card anyway, and that backfired, Sonny. So I
Speaker 1: just I'm actually, I mean, Simone, I really want to
Speaker 1: be with somebody that's emotionally available and not you know, still,
Speaker 1: even if it's not like you know, you're not exclusive,
Speaker 1: you're still seeing him. I just I'm just comfortable being
Speaker 1: with somebody who's seeing other people. So I just, uh, well,
Speaker 1: that's the thing, is like I had a great time
Speaker 1: hanging out with you, and I really want to get
Speaker 1: to know you better. And I am not invested in
Speaker 1: the sky. Like I said, it's somebody that I dated,
Speaker 1: and it was just I didn't have anybody else I
Speaker 1: was interested in, and it was just, you know, i'll
Speaker 1: call him later today and tell him that we can't
Speaker 1: see each other anymore. Really, Jack, is that something that
Speaker 1: you'd be into, because if you're willing to see her again,
Speaker 1: then we'll pay for that date. Yeah, I have one question.
Speaker 1: Did you hook up with him over the holidays? Would
Speaker 1: be honest here, Simone. Did it happen and what sweater
Speaker 1: were you wearing at the time. It didn't happen over
Speaker 1: the holidays, but it has happened recently a last night Jack,
Speaker 1: I need an answer from you. What do you think
Speaker 1: one more date was simoned? We'll pay for it. I
Speaker 1: don't think so. Why it's a healthier Why? I feel
Speaker 1: like you could have told me that you were getting
Speaker 1: out of a relationship, and I just I can't get Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's the holidays. Everybody's sad. We understand, thank you and
Speaker 1: Jeffrey in the morning, I was thinking, does that ever
Speaker 1: work on our show? After the person says no, I'm
Speaker 1: not interested, and they throw out one last ditch plea like, hey, well,
Speaker 1: what if I break up with the other guy? Will
Speaker 1: you go out with me? Then it's like a hail Mary?
Speaker 1: Or what if I get a butt lift? Yeah? Or
Speaker 1: hey what if I put my dog down because you're allergic?
Speaker 1: Oh God, it's always n You made the boyfriend sound
Speaker 1: like the best option. I just can't think of a
Speaker 1: time where that strategy has ever worked, and she definitely
Speaker 1: gave it a try. God, I just have this feeling
Speaker 1: that the guy on the cards your boy doesn't know
Speaker 1: that they're not exclusive. Yeah, does anyone else feels always
Speaker 1: like the other one is always like wide, Wait I
Speaker 1: thought you were my girlfriend? Yeah, I'm sent out Christmas cards? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: how does it get more intimate than that? But clearly
Speaker 1: we're not going to be doing any update with that
Speaker 1: couple anytime soon. But remember you can always listen to
Speaker 1: any one of our second dates on YouTube because we've
Speaker 1: got hundreds of them, yeah up right now, so a
Speaker 1: lot of people are actually choosing to listen to our
Speaker 1: show that way. And remember you can always reach out
Speaker 1: to us if you have a date that you want
Speaker 1: us to get a hold of Brooke and Jeffrey in
Speaker 1: the morning,
