Speaker 1: podcast today on the second a podcast. And we love

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: when listeners leave us messages. That's why we like to

4
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: read them on air. Yes, and we sat on air

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:13,399
Speaker 1: and podcasting.

6
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 2: Sorry, and we say comments on recording. What are we doing?

7
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 3: I don't know, Yeah, but go ahead and read them

8
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 3: in the microphone.

9
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna say.

10
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 3: Sign of bo said, I can't believe last Ramadan. I

11
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 3: started listening to y'all every day because I couldn't listen

12
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 3: to music. I really thought I would stop after Ramadan,

13
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 3: but I didn't. I ended up being y'all's top listener.

14
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 3: And it's been a whole year now. I've listened to

15
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 3: every single day non stop. I'm actually gagged realizing it's

16
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 3: really been a year.

17
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 4: This is like people that cut out sugar or alcohol

18
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 4: and they just go, look, I'm gonna do it for

19
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 4: two weeks and then they end up for the long run.

20
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 2: I like that you compare us to a good thing.

21
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 5: That's good.

22
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 6: That's good. I love it.

23
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 5: I love it.

24
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for being here. However you found us.

25
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 2: Your brand new episode starts right now.

26
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,279
Speaker 5: Imagine on the most romantic day of the year. You

27
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 5: have two people reach out to you, both asking if

28
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 5: they can be your Valentine. Oh my god, are you

29
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 5: in a dream?

30
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 2: Jeff, you wake up.

31
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 5: It's both together. It's not about me, it's about one

32
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 5: of our listeners. What do you do? Because I can

33
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 5: tell you with full certainty, you should not do what

34
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 5: this listener did, because it's landed him here asking for

35
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 5: help with an awkward Tuesday phone call. You're gonna hear

36
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 5: all about the fateful decision he made coming up next.

37
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 4: It's awkward. It's Tuesday.

38
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 5: It's awkward Tuesday phone call. What percentage do you think

39
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 5: dating experts say getting back together with an X is

40
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 5: a good idea?

41
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: I mean only times I've heard of it, literally got

42
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: married good idea?

43
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 2: Or fun idea?

44
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 6: Good?

45
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's fun.

46
00:01:54,720 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 5: Yeah. Well, but maybe they've grown brooke. Maybe the problems

47
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 5: that caused your breakup are all resolved now. Ah, maybe

48
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 5: the statute of limitations on that restraining order finally expired

49
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 5: and you're free. Yay, that's that's not a good romantic.

50
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 6: Again.

51
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 5: So what's the expert's final number on the chances that

52
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 5: will work out with your ex? Less than five percent?

53
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: So you're saying there's a chance it's above zero. It's

54
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: actually better than I expected.

55
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 4: I know two different couples that broke up and then

56
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 4: years later got back and they're married.

57
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: Just wait for the divorce.

58
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 5: But nobody knows those percentage numbers more than our listener.

59
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 5: Brock reached out to our show needing some help. Rock

60
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,239
Speaker 5: Welcome to your life.

61
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 6: Then, I really wish I would have heard the a

62
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 6: couple of weeks ago. I would I would have made

63
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 6: a couple of different decisions.

64
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you should just be always googling the divorce

65
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 4: rate periodically.

66
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 2: It sounds like you're in deep regret right now.

67
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 6: That's a bulls eye right there.

68
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 5: Wow, good job, but we.

69
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 2: Can work from that.

70
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, what happened? Why do you say that?

71
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 6: So? I was seeing this new girl for a month, Chloe,

72
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 6: super casual, new relationships. Things are going great. We've really

73
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 6: hit it off and really connect And on Valentine's Day

74
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 6: she reaches out and she asked me if I want

75
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 6: to be her Valentine. Oh, I got asked, and I'm like,

00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 6: that's what every guy wants, you know, Like I feel special.

77
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,600

00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 6: I mean I didn't know what it really meant. I'm like, hey,

Speaker 6: I'm with you and you're with me, so cool. Okay.

82
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's almost like a cute way to ask to

83
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: be exclusive.

84
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 2: I guess.

85
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 5: I mean Valentine's just hang out that day.

86
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,840

Speaker 6: it was a long one. Yeah, it was. It was

90
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 6: basically her saying how much she missed me, how she

91
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 6: felt bad about our relationship ending the way it did,

92
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 6: she laughing for somebody else. She wished that she could

93

Speaker 6: take it all.

94
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: Back Valentine's Day when she suddenly single again.

96
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 6: see me for Valentine's Day.

97
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 5: Oh but you've already said yes to Chloe.

98
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: You're already someone's Valentine.

99
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, I know, But I also still had feelings for her,

100
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 6: and we didn't break up that long ago. It was

101
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 6: only a couple months ago.

102
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it.

103
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 4: That does change it a little.

104
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 2: I could see that we've been there, So.

105
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 5: What did you do?

106
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 6: I mean, I said yes, I'd be her Valentine's too.

107
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 5: Try to do a double Valentine.

108
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 6: I don't know.

109
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 2: He hasn't thought this out too far.

110
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 5: Hold on, I like where this is going. So what

111
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 5: happens on Valentine's Day?

112
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,679
Speaker 6: Oh? I mean, first off, I hung out with Chloe

113
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 6: and then it was great and fun, and then I

114
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 6: hung out with my ex.

115
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 5: Oh wow, I didn't think it was gonna work out.

116
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,799
Speaker 5: That's wonderful. Two women were made happy that day, Brooke.

117
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 5: That should bring a smile to your face.

118
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: You hung out with them on the same day.

119
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, the day of the year.

120
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: I'm like a late day, late celebration.

121
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 6: With one of them. I mean, what can I do?

122
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 6: I was two people's Valentines and I had to be there.

123
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: Well yeah, yeah, it sounds like you probably didn't feel

124
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 1: guilty about doing it to your ex because she sounds

125
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: like she was maybe overlapping at the end of your relationship.

126
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 5: So what's happened since then?

127
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 6: So? I had spent more time with my ex and

128
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 6: we kind of we picked things up where they left

129
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 6: off and it was good for a while. But a

130
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 6: couple of days ago she dumped me again. For another guy.

131
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, same thing that happened the first time.

132
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: I mean that's like first time, shame on you second time.

133
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 5: I don't know that's saying. I think I've always heard

134
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 5: blame the ex.

135
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 6: I agree with you on that.

136
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: Blame the Yeah, it's not cool of her, I would

137
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 2: agree with that.

138
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 5: All right, So you've reached out for an awkward Tuesday?

139
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 5: What made you do that? Where are you hoping to

140
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 5: get out of this?

141
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 6: So? I need you guys to call Chloe for me?

142
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,679
Speaker 3: Oh okay, rebound double time?

143
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 6: I say that. I mean this is more like I

144
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 6: was robbed of an opportunity to build something genuine with

145
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,679
Speaker 6: Chloe because of my ex. Chloe doesn't know about any

146
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 6: of this that's happened, and I need this to be smoothing.

147
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 4: You want to tell her?

148
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 2: What did you tell Chloe?

149
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 6: Like?

150
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: I mean, did you stop seeing her while you got

151
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: back together with your ex?

152
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 6: I mean, I've been more distant and I haven't hung

153
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 6: out there as much.

154
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 2: Okay, so you were seeing both? Yeah, she's probably clocked

155
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 2: on by now.

156
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, well we don't know. Is there any hints that

157
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 5: she's aware of you going back to your ex girlfriend?

158
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 6: Now?

159
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 2: Nothing does that feel like cheating.

160
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: I mean, if Chloe were to have been seeing another guy,

161
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: would you consider that cheating on you?

162
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 6: I mean, if I didn't know, even no.

163
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 5: Nice, I like that. If I'm not aware of it,

164
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 5: but it's not cheating.

165
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 6: It is if I don't know, there's nothing for me

166
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 6: to be upset about her.

167
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 5: I like that. Okay, So now you mess. You want

168
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 5: to reach out to the girl that you kind of

169
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 5: ditched to see if you can start things up again

170
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 5: with her, and you don't want to tell her about

171
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 5: the whole situation with your ex.

172
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean this is only a couple of weeks ago. Like,

173
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 6: this isn't a long time ago. So I just need

174
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 6: some advice on kind of how to bridge the gap

175
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 6: and take it back up.

176
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 2: Okay, so you've kind of ghosted her for a couple

177
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 2: of weeks.

178
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 5: Well, okay, some girls like head games, no one ever. Well,

179
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 5: we're going to have to play them when we come back.

180
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 5: Give our advice to Brock and let him make his

181
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 5: awkward Tuesday phone call trying to reignite things with Chloe.

182
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 5: I'm not right after this. Hold on, it's it's Tuesday.

183
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 5: It's awkward Tuesday phone call. Who wouldn't want to jump

184
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 5: into the dating pool after this because our listener, Brock,

185
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 5: if you're just joining us, was put in a tough

186
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 5: position a few weeks ago when two women asked if

187
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 5: they could be his valentine on Cupid's big Day.

188
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 2: He couldn't say no.

189
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 5: Well, first was a girl named Chloe that he'd been

190
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 5: casually seeing for a month, and he said yes to her.

191
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 2: And he liked her, excited about it.

192
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 5: But then he got a message from his ex Yikes,

193
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 5: also asking to see him, and Brock said yes to

194
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 5: her too, because there are still feelings there. And really

195
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 5: he's been spending most of his time with his ex

196
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 5: until a few days ago when she dropped him again

197
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 5: in the same way as before, leaving him for a

198
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 5: different guy. So he feels like he made the wrong

199
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 5: choice and now wants to reach back out to the

200
00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 5: first girl, Chloe, to reignite that spark without Oh yeah,

201
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 5: by the way, I left you for my ex. So

202
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 5: how does he pull that off? Brooke?

203
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: You're up, well, I think that last part is totally wrong.

204
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: I've been in this position before, and I think this

205
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: is what you have to do, is you have to

206
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: come clean and you have to say, listen, that experience

207
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: really taught me something, and it's that I'm so over

208
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: her and I just want to be with you.

209
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 5: Oh that's mature, Brock. Are you still awake after that?

210
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 6: I mean yes and no.

211
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 2: Can you come out looking like the hero, Brock?

212
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 6: It is super risky to do that though.

213
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 4: That's making yourself very vulnerable.

214
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 2: But you're honest, she wins. I mean, I don't see

215
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 2: a downside to this.

216
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 5: I'm sure she's not going to be offended when she

217
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 5: finds out the real reason that he did it.

218
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,119
Speaker 2: But hanging out for a month totally.

219
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 5: I'm with you there. Now you have that piece of advice, Brock. Jose,

220
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 5: what do you think, Well.

221
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 4: There's a famous Seinfeld episode where Kramer gets fired and

222
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 4: then he just keeps showing up to work.

223
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, right, nobody notices.

224
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, So you gotta.

225
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 4: Do the same thing, act like nothing happened and you

226
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 4: guys are still doing good.

227
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: Isn't that what we just talked about our show called

228
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: ghost lighting? Oh yeah, ghosts ghosted someone and then you

229
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: pretend like you didn't.

230
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 5: It is the hot, cool new thing to do right

231
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 5: now in the dating world. So I like Jose's advice,

232
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 5: very topical, he's already ghosted. He just seems to do

233
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 5: the gaslighting.

234
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 2: Very topical or very toxic.

235
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 3: You can choose mature toxic here twice, two options.

236
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 6: I don't think it's toxic. Again, Like, if she doesn't know,

237
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 6: then nothing bad happened, right.

238
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: I haven't talked to her in week. She knows something,

239
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 2: she's got a moral, but.

240
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 5: She won't know. If he's just feeling the good vibe.

241
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 5: She'll just ride that train with him.

242
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, who's to say something bad happened?

243
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 5: That's right?

244
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 6: Maybe I was in an accident, maybe my dog died.

245
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 6: She doesn't know her.

246
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 2: Make up a little far, But go ahead, ghost lighter.

247
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 5: I think you got the spirit of it. We are

248
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 5: running a little bit short on time, so I'm in

249
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 5: a dial Chloe for you, and we can step away

250
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 5: and let you make your call. You feel ready, I'm

251
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 5: ever gonna get Let's do it all right, good luck.

252
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 5: We'll be here waiting to jump in if you need us.

253
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 5: Here we go.

254

Speaker 6: Hello, Hey, Chloe, what's up? Ah?

Speaker 6: that dropped the other one and accidentally kicked it into

Speaker 6: the lake, and so it's just a new one and

Speaker 6: What do you want from me? Now? Okay? Basically she

289
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 6: briled me in and she built me for a second time.

290
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 6: Oh you don't say no, don't. Yeah, And like I

Speaker 6: just I just realized like the air of her ways,

292
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 6: and like I just think we should continue where we

293
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 6: left off. Oh my god, Oh you are such an idiot.

294
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 3: What's going on?

295
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 6: I needed some help, Brock.

296
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 5: I think you need to be quiet for a second

297
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 5: and let us step in here for a couple of years.

298
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 5: Maybe because hey, Chloe, you're on a radio show right now.

299
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 5: It's called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.

300
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 6: Wow. Okay, do I like win something for going out

301
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 6: with the sloother.

302
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 5: Or that's a little harsh?

303
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 2: No, I mean, can't we just stick with idiot? That's

304
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 2: like a fun thing to call.

305
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 5: Yeah. The reason that we're calling you is this is

306
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 5: something called an awkward Tuesday phone call. Brock reached out

307
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 5: because he feels terrible about how things played out, the

308
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 5: decisions that were made. He just wishes that he could

309
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 5: go back in a race the past two weeks of

310
00:14:59,280 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 5: his life.

311
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 2: He's very regretful for hooking back up with his ice man.

312
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 6: You guys should have done this, like, you are way

313
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 6: better this than I am.

314
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: Wellok, you included way too many details, like especially the

315
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: one where why you're ex dumped you all.

316
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 2: I like that. It's not my fault.

317
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 5: To be fair, you did say come completely clean Brooke

318
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 5: as your advice.

319
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 2: You didn't take ownership of anything, Brock.

320
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 6: That's a good point, bro my fault like she played me.

321
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 5: Well, Well, the ownership is you made the decision to

322
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 5: get back with her, and I'm sure that Chloe feels

323
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 5: absolutely horrible about that, right Chloe.

324
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't. I have no sympathy literally a zero.

325
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 5: Oh wow.

326
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 6: I mean you should though, because you were robbed of

327
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 6: this experience too.

328
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 5: Oh yes, you were both due by your devious ex

329
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 5: girlfriend trying to get in the middle of you two

330
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 5: and break you tow up. You can't let her get

331
00:15:58,480 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 5: away with that that's a spin.

332
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 6: I mean no, we can. We can definitely go out

333
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 6: like like I said, steak or chicken or seafood or world.

334
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 5: You've given all the menu options. We know Brock. That's great, Chloe.

335
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: Were you ever excited about Brock like before the X, I.

336
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 6: Mean yeah, we were in the like having fun stage. Yeah, yeah,

337
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 6: we have fun together. Man, I can forget everything if

338
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 6: you can't, of course forget that.

339
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 5: That's quite an offer, Chloe. What do you think? Are

340
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 5: you fully moved on from Brock? Or is there any

341
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 5: part of you that wants to just give him, like

342
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 5: one more chance, just meet up with him like his

343
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 5: ex did she wanted him back.

344
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 6: Are you seriously asking that? So? Thank you?

345
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: Okay, I think this has been very clear from the

346
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: very beginnings.

347
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 5: Sounding like you're not buying what Brock is putting down.

348
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 6: Chloe, You're okay with missing out on all of this

349
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 6: because of her?

350
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 2: Why do I imagine him pointing to.

351
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 5: You're going to miss out on so much, all the

352
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 5: steak and the chicken, the seafood.

353
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 6: Don't forget to see man, no one.

354
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 5: Else can offer that all the cuisines.

355
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 6: I said no, and I couldn't be any clearer.

356
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, they.

357
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: All right, well, very very clear boundaries.

358
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, how you doing, man, I'm awkward, I guess I understand.

359
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 6: I am sure.

360
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 5: Very I am so sorry about Brooks advice. If you

361
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 5: had gotten something else, you would have been.

362
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 2: Able to pull that my advice.

363
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: I didn't tell him to go into details about how

364
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: he hung out with both of them on the same side.

365
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 6: I took the higher roads for the first time, and

366
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:38,959
Speaker 6: that obviously didn't work out.

367
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 3: I think you've tried to gas at the beginning, but

368
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 3: she caught on.

369
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 5: Well, remember we learned experts say there's less than a

370
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 5: five percent chance that getting back with Chloe would be

371
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 5: a good idea.

372
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 6: I mean, just one a time. I'm gonna take my

373
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 6: odds with my ex.

374
00:17:53,600 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 5: You don't she takes you back again, Jeffrey and morning.

375
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 5: It's always a good move to threaten to get back

376
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 5: with your ex to make somebody jealous. Brook You still

377
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 5: use that trick with your husband to this day.

378
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 2: Right, I would laugh if he said that to me.

379
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 2: He's so ridiculous.

380
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 5: Well, my ex never had any issues taking out the trash,

381
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 5: so maybe I'll go talk to him.

382
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, the first side of the healthy relationship.

383
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 5: Jeff Unfortunately, she already knew that he was kind of

384
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 5: back with his ex, so it was kind of doomed

385
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 5: from the start of that call.

386
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: I feel like Chloe could be like some sort of

387
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: research model of how to handle a guy like this.

388
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 2: She did so.

389
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 5: Well total indifference in sarcasts played well. But you know
