<v Speaker 1>podcast today on the second a podcast. And we love

0:00:06.880 --> 0:00:09.400
<v Speaker 1>when listeners leave us messages. That's why we like to

0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:12.080
<v Speaker 1>read them on air. Yes, and we sat on air

0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:13.399

<v Speaker 2>Sorry, and we say comments on recording. What are we doing?

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:18.080
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, Yeah, but go ahead and read them

0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:19.000
<v Speaker 3>in the microphone.

0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:20.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm gonna say.

0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:24.160
<v Speaker 3>Sign of bo said, I can't believe last Ramadan. I

0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:26.840
<v Speaker 3>started listening to y'all every day because I couldn't listen

0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:30.200
<v Speaker 3>to music. I really thought I would stop after Ramadan,

0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:33.320
<v Speaker 3>but I didn't. I ended up being y'all's top listener.

0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:35.760
<v Speaker 3>And it's been a whole year now. I've listened to

0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:39.720
<v Speaker 3>every single day non stop. I'm actually gagged realizing it's

0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:40.519
<v Speaker 3>really been a year.

0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:43.760
<v Speaker 4>This is like people that cut out sugar or alcohol

0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:44.920
<v Speaker 4>and they just go, look, I'm gonna do it for

0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:47.440
<v Speaker 4>two weeks and then they end up for the long run.

0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:50.879
<v Speaker 2>I like that you compare us to a good thing.

0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:52.400
<v Speaker 5>That's good.

0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:53.280
<v Speaker 6>That's good. I love it.

0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 5>I love it.

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Thank you so much for being here. However you found us.

0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:57.640
<v Speaker 2>Your brand new episode starts right now.

0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:03.279
<v Speaker 5>Imagine on the most romantic day of the year. You

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:07.440
<v Speaker 5>have two people reach out to you, both asking if

0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:11.160
<v Speaker 5>they can be your Valentine. Oh my god, are you

0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:11.679
<v Speaker 5>in a dream?

0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:13.040
<v Speaker 2>Jeff, you wake up.

0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:16.240
<v Speaker 5>It's both together. It's not about me, it's about one

0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:19.440
<v Speaker 5>of our listeners. What do you do? Because I can

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.440
<v Speaker 5>tell you with full certainty, you should not do what

0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:26.600
<v Speaker 5>this listener did, because it's landed him here asking for

0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.920
<v Speaker 5>help with an awkward Tuesday phone call. You're gonna hear

0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:33.479
<v Speaker 5>all about the fateful decision he made coming up next.

0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:37.039
<v Speaker 4>It's awkward. It's Tuesday.

0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:41.880
<v Speaker 5>It's awkward Tuesday phone call. What percentage do you think

0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:45.560
<v Speaker 5>dating experts say getting back together with an X is

0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 5>a good idea?

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:50.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean only times I've heard of it, literally got

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:51.080
<v Speaker 1>married good idea?

0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Or fun idea?

0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:52.400
<v Speaker 6>Good?

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:54.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because it's fun.

0:01:54.720 --> 0:02:00.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. Well, but maybe they've grown brooke. Maybe the problems

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:05.160
<v Speaker 5>that caused your breakup are all resolved now. Ah, maybe

0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:09.239
<v Speaker 5>the statute of limitations on that restraining order finally expired

0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:14.679
<v Speaker 5>and you're free. Yay, that's that's not a good romantic.

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:16.000
<v Speaker 6>Again.

0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:19.760
<v Speaker 5>So what's the expert's final number on the chances that

0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:23.560
<v Speaker 5>will work out with your ex? Less than five percent?

0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 2>So you're saying there's a chance it's above zero. It's

0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:28.760
<v Speaker 2>actually better than I expected.

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:32.240
<v Speaker 4>I know two different couples that broke up and then

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 4>years later got back and they're married.

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 2>Just wait for the divorce.

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:41.200
<v Speaker 5>But nobody knows those percentage numbers more than our listener.

0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:45.600
<v Speaker 5>Brock reached out to our show needing some help. Rock

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:47.239
<v Speaker 5>Welcome to your life.

0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:52.360
<v Speaker 6>Then, I really wish I would have heard the a

0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:54.639
<v Speaker 6>couple of weeks ago. I would I would have made

0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:55.720
<v Speaker 6>a couple of different decisions.

0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.440
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, you should just be always googling the divorce

0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 4>rate periodically.

0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:04.200
<v Speaker 2>It sounds like you're in deep regret right now.

0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:06.960
<v Speaker 6>That's a bulls eye right there.

0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:11.080
<v Speaker 5>Wow, good job, but we.

0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:11.640
<v Speaker 2>Can work from that.

0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:13.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, what happened? Why do you say that?

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:17.120
<v Speaker 6>So? I was seeing this new girl for a month, Chloe,

0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:21.440
<v Speaker 6>super casual, new relationships. Things are going great. We've really

0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:25.240
<v Speaker 6>hit it off and really connect And on Valentine's Day

0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:27.359
<v Speaker 6>she reaches out and she asked me if I want

0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:33.200
<v Speaker 6>to be her Valentine. Oh, I got asked, and I'm like,

0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:36.400
<v Speaker 6>that's what every guy wants, you know, Like I feel special.

0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:39.600
<v Speaker 6>I said, yes, I'll be your Valentine.

0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Okay, does that mean she's going to plan a date?

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:42.760
<v Speaker 2>That's awesome.

0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:45.920
<v Speaker 6>I mean I didn't know what it really meant. I'm like, hey,

0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:48.960
<v Speaker 6>I'm with you and you're with me, so cool. Okay.

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's almost like a cute way to ask to

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 1>be exclusive.

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:52.000
<v Speaker 2>I guess.

<v Speaker 6>it was a long one. Yeah, it was. It was

0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.720
<v Speaker 6>basically her saying how much she missed me, how she

0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 6>felt bad about our relationship ending the way it did,

0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 6>she laughing for somebody else. She wished that she could

0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:20.720
<v Speaker 6>take it all.

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Back Valentine's Day when she suddenly single again.

0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:28.479
<v Speaker 6>Okay, okay, And she also told me she wanted to

0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:31.440
<v Speaker 6>see me for Valentine's Day.

0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:33.400
<v Speaker 5>Oh but you've already said yes to Chloe.

0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:35.120
<v Speaker 2>You're already someone's Valentine.

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:38.680
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I know, But I also still had feelings for her,

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:40.280
<v Speaker 6>and we didn't break up that long ago. It was

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:41.200
<v Speaker 6>only a couple months ago.

0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I get it.

0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:44.800
<v Speaker 4>That does change it a little.

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:46.400
<v Speaker 2>I could see that we've been there, So.

0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 5>What did you do?

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:58.680
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I said yes, I'd be her Valentine's too.

0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:57.000
<v Speaker 5>Try to do a double Valentine.

0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:57.440
<v Speaker 6>I don't know.

0:04:57.720 --> 0:04:59.440
<v Speaker 2>He hasn't thought this out too far.

0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:02.599
<v Speaker 5>Hold on, I like where this is going. So what

0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:04.200
<v Speaker 5>happens on Valentine's Day?

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:06.679
<v Speaker 6>Oh? I mean, first off, I hung out with Chloe

0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 6>and then it was great and fun, and then I

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:09.160
<v Speaker 6>hung out with my ex.

0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:12.800
<v Speaker 5>Oh wow, I didn't think it was gonna work out.

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:16.799
<v Speaker 5>That's wonderful. Two women were made happy that day, Brooke.

0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:18.359
<v Speaker 5>That should bring a smile to your face.

0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 2>You hung out with them on the same day.

0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:22.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, the day of the year.

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm like a late day, late celebration.

0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:27.320
<v Speaker 6>With one of them. I mean, what can I do?

0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:29.719
<v Speaker 6>I was two people's Valentines and I had to be there.

0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Well yeah, yeah, it sounds like you probably didn't feel

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.479
<v Speaker 1>guilty about doing it to your ex because she sounds

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.840
<v Speaker 1>like she was maybe overlapping at the end of your relationship.

0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:40.080
<v Speaker 5>So what's happened since then?

0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:42.719
<v Speaker 6>So? I had spent more time with my ex and

0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:44.640
<v Speaker 6>we kind of we picked things up where they left

0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:48.599
<v Speaker 6>off and it was good for a while. But a

0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:52.400
<v Speaker 6>couple of days ago she dumped me again. For another guy.

0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:55.760
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, same thing that happened the first time.

0:05:56.440 --> 0:06:00.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's like first time, shame on you second time.

0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.160
<v Speaker 5>I don't know that's saying. I think I've always heard

0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:03.880
<v Speaker 5>blame the ex.

0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:07.279
<v Speaker 6>I agree with you on that.

0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Blame the Yeah, it's not cool of her, I would

0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:11.680
<v Speaker 2>agree with that.

0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:15.080
<v Speaker 5>All right, So you've reached out for an awkward Tuesday?

0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:16.960
<v Speaker 5>What made you do that? Where are you hoping to

0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:17.479
<v Speaker 5>get out of this?

0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:19.839
<v Speaker 6>So? I need you guys to call Chloe for me?

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:23.679
<v Speaker 3>Oh okay, rebound double time?

0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:26.680
<v Speaker 6>I say that. I mean this is more like I

0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:29.320
<v Speaker 6>was robbed of an opportunity to build something genuine with

0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:32.679
<v Speaker 6>Chloe because of my ex. Chloe doesn't know about any

0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:35.920
<v Speaker 6>of this that's happened, and I need this to be smoothing.

0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:37.240
<v Speaker 4>You want to tell her?

0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:40.080
<v Speaker 2>What did you tell Chloe?

0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:40.200
<v Speaker 6>Like?

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean, did you stop seeing her while you got

0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:43.840
<v Speaker 1>back together with your ex?

0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:46.279
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I've been more distant and I haven't hung

0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:47.039
<v Speaker 6>out there as much.

0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:50.279
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so you were seeing both? Yeah, she's probably clocked

0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:50.760
<v Speaker 2>on by now.

0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:53.720
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, well we don't know. Is there any hints that

0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:56.279
<v Speaker 5>she's aware of you going back to your ex girlfriend?

0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:57.120
<v Speaker 6>Now?

0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.440
<v Speaker 2>Nothing does that feel like cheating.

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if Chloe were to have been seeing another guy,

0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:04.360
<v Speaker 1>would you consider that cheating on you?

0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:06.520
<v Speaker 6>I mean, if I didn't know, even no.

0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:11.560
<v Speaker 5>Nice, I like that. If I'm not aware of it,

0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:12.560
<v Speaker 5>but it's not cheating.

0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:17.000
<v Speaker 6>It is if I don't know, there's nothing for me

0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:17.800
<v Speaker 6>to be upset about her.

0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 5>I like that. Okay, So now you mess. You want

0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.400
<v Speaker 5>to reach out to the girl that you kind of

0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:28.960
<v Speaker 5>ditched to see if you can start things up again

0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:31.200
<v Speaker 5>with her, and you don't want to tell her about

0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:32.600
<v Speaker 5>the whole situation with your ex.

0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:34.800
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I mean this is only a couple of weeks ago. Like,

0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 6>this isn't a long time ago. So I just need

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:38.800
<v Speaker 6>some advice on kind of how to bridge the gap

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:39.600
<v Speaker 6>and take it back up.

0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:41.640
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so you've kind of ghosted her for a couple

0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:42.200
<v Speaker 2>of weeks.

0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:47.600
<v Speaker 5>Well, okay, some girls like head games, no one ever. Well,

0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:49.400
<v Speaker 5>we're going to have to play them when we come back.

0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:52.120
<v Speaker 5>Give our advice to Brock and let him make his

0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:56.560
<v Speaker 5>awkward Tuesday phone call trying to reignite things with Chloe.

0:07:57.080 --> 0:08:01.600
<v Speaker 5>I'm not right after this. Hold on, it's it's Tuesday.

0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:06.840
<v Speaker 5>It's awkward Tuesday phone call. Who wouldn't want to jump

0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:11.000
<v Speaker 5>into the dating pool after this because our listener, Brock,

0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:13.240
<v Speaker 5>if you're just joining us, was put in a tough

0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:16.840
<v Speaker 5>position a few weeks ago when two women asked if

0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.760
<v Speaker 5>they could be his valentine on Cupid's big Day.

0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:20.720
<v Speaker 2>He couldn't say no.

0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:23.400
<v Speaker 5>Well, first was a girl named Chloe that he'd been

0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:26.200
<v Speaker 5>casually seeing for a month, and he said yes to her.

0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:28.560
<v Speaker 2>And he liked her, excited about it.

0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:31.520
<v Speaker 5>But then he got a message from his ex Yikes,

0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:35.520
<v Speaker 5>also asking to see him, and Brock said yes to

0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:40.040
<v Speaker 5>her too, because there are still feelings there. And really

0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.800
<v Speaker 5>he's been spending most of his time with his ex

0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:46.240
<v Speaker 5>until a few days ago when she dropped him again

0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:49.680
<v Speaker 5>in the same way as before, leaving him for a

0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:53.320
<v Speaker 5>different guy. So he feels like he made the wrong

0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:55.840
<v Speaker 5>choice and now wants to reach back out to the

0:08:55.880 --> 0:09:00.760
<v Speaker 5>first girl, Chloe, to reignite that spark without Oh yeah,

0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:03.080
<v Speaker 5>by the way, I left you for my ex. So

0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:05.120
<v Speaker 5>how does he pull that off? Brooke?

0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:09.000
<v Speaker 1>You're up, well, I think that last part is totally wrong.

0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.640
<v Speaker 1>I've been in this position before, and I think this

0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:12.920
<v Speaker 1>is what you have to do, is you have to

0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:16.880
<v Speaker 1>come clean and you have to say, listen, that experience

0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:20.199
<v Speaker 1>really taught me something, and it's that I'm so over

0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:22.120
<v Speaker 1>her and I just want to be with you.

0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:26.040
<v Speaker 5>Oh that's mature, Brock. Are you still awake after that?

0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:29.360
<v Speaker 6>I mean yes and no.

0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:32.760
<v Speaker 2>Can you come out looking like the hero, Brock?

0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:35.400
<v Speaker 6>It is super risky to do that though.

0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:37.439
<v Speaker 4>That's making yourself very vulnerable.

0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:41.959
<v Speaker 2>But you're honest, she wins. I mean, I don't see

0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:43.000
<v Speaker 2>a downside to this.

0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:45.120
<v Speaker 5>I'm sure she's not going to be offended when she

0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:46.960
<v Speaker 5>finds out the real reason that he did it.

0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.119
<v Speaker 2>But hanging out for a month totally.

0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:53.480
<v Speaker 5>I'm with you there. Now you have that piece of advice, Brock. Jose,

0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:54.760
<v Speaker 5>what do you think, Well.

0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:58.200
<v Speaker 4>There's a famous Seinfeld episode where Kramer gets fired and

0:09:58.240 --> 0:09:59.880
<v Speaker 4>then he just keeps showing up to work.

0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, right, nobody notices.

0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:04.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah yeah, So you gotta.

0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:06.520
<v Speaker 4>Do the same thing, act like nothing happened and you

0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:07.760
<v Speaker 4>guys are still doing good.

0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Isn't that what we just talked about our show called

0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:13.720
<v Speaker 1>ghost lighting? Oh yeah, ghosts ghosted someone and then you

0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:14.800
<v Speaker 1>pretend like you didn't.

0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:16.800
<v Speaker 5>It is the hot, cool new thing to do right

0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.320
<v Speaker 5>now in the dating world. So I like Jose's advice,

0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:21.520
<v Speaker 5>very topical, he's already ghosted. He just seems to do

0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:22.080
<v Speaker 5>the gaslighting.

0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Very topical or very toxic.

0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:27.080
<v Speaker 3>You can choose mature toxic here twice, two options.

0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:33.520
<v Speaker 6>I don't think it's toxic. Again, Like, if she doesn't know,

0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:35.240
<v Speaker 6>then nothing bad happened, right.

0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:38.280
<v Speaker 2>I haven't talked to her in week. She knows something,

0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:39.800
<v Speaker 2>she's got a moral, but.

0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:42.120
<v Speaker 5>She won't know. If he's just feeling the good vibe.

0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:43.880
<v Speaker 5>She'll just ride that train with him.

0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:46.320
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I mean, who's to say something bad happened?

0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:47.040
<v Speaker 5>That's right?

0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:50.160
<v Speaker 6>Maybe I was in an accident, maybe my dog died.

0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:51.520
<v Speaker 6>She doesn't know her.

0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:54.520
<v Speaker 2>Make up a little far, But go ahead, ghost lighter.

0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:56.840
<v Speaker 5>I think you got the spirit of it. We are

0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:58.679
<v Speaker 5>running a little bit short on time, so I'm in

0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:00.960
<v Speaker 5>a dial Chloe for you, and we can step away

0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:03.679
<v Speaker 5>and let you make your call. You feel ready, I'm

0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:07.280
<v Speaker 5>ever gonna get Let's do it all right, good luck.

0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:09.200
<v Speaker 5>We'll be here waiting to jump in if you need us.

0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:09.600
<v Speaker 5>Here we go.

0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:23.760
<v Speaker 6>Hello, Hey, Chloe, what's up? Ah?

<v Speaker 6>It's mad It's Brock. What's up? Oh? What number is there? Oh?

0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:35.760

<v Speaker 6>oh but you saw me earlier that night. Look, it

0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:36.600

<v Speaker 6>What do you want from me? Now? Okay? Basically she

0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:51.880
<v Speaker 6>briled me in and she built me for a second time.

0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:57.080
<v Speaker 6>Oh you don't say no, don't. Yeah, And like I

0:13:57.160 --> 0:13:59.360
<v Speaker 6>just I just realized like the air of her ways,

0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:02.880
<v Speaker 6>and like I just think we should continue where we

0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:14.920
<v Speaker 6>left off. Oh my god, Oh you are such an idiot.

0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:19.040
<v Speaker 3>What's going on?

0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:22.280
<v Speaker 6>I needed some help, Brock.

0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:24.560
<v Speaker 5>I think you need to be quiet for a second

0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:26.400
<v Speaker 5>and let us step in here for a couple of years.

0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:29.520
<v Speaker 5>Maybe because hey, Chloe, you're on a radio show right now.

0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:31.040
<v Speaker 5>It's called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.

0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:35.280
<v Speaker 6>Wow. Okay, do I like win something for going out

0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:36.080
<v Speaker 6>with the sloother.

0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:39.320
<v Speaker 5>Or that's a little harsh?

0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:41.520
<v Speaker 2>No, I mean, can't we just stick with idiot? That's

0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:42.600
<v Speaker 2>like a fun thing to call.

0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:46.360
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. The reason that we're calling you is this is

0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:50.040
<v Speaker 5>something called an awkward Tuesday phone call. Brock reached out

0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:53.880
<v Speaker 5>because he feels terrible about how things played out, the

0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:56.920
<v Speaker 5>decisions that were made. He just wishes that he could

0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:59.240
<v Speaker 5>go back in a race the past two weeks of

0:14:59.280 --> 0:14:59.680
<v Speaker 5>his life.

0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.920
<v Speaker 2>He's very regretful for hooking back up with his ice man.

0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:05.640
<v Speaker 6>You guys should have done this, like, you are way

0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:06.760
<v Speaker 6>better this than I am.

0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:12.280
<v Speaker 1>Wellok, you included way too many details, like especially the

0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:14.160
<v Speaker 1>one where why you're ex dumped you all.

0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:15.760
<v Speaker 2>I like that. It's not my fault.

0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:20.440
<v Speaker 5>To be fair, you did say come completely clean Brooke

0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:21.280
<v Speaker 5>as your advice.

0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:23.600
<v Speaker 2>You didn't take ownership of anything, Brock.

0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:27.400
<v Speaker 6>That's a good point, bro my fault like she played me.

0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:32.200
<v Speaker 5>Well, Well, the ownership is you made the decision to

0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:34.800
<v Speaker 5>get back with her, and I'm sure that Chloe feels

0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:37.560
<v Speaker 5>absolutely horrible about that, right Chloe.

0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:41.200
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I don't. I have no sympathy literally a zero.

0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:42.120
<v Speaker 5>Oh wow.

0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:45.600
<v Speaker 6>I mean you should though, because you were robbed of

0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:46.560
<v Speaker 6>this experience too.

0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:53.720
<v Speaker 5>Oh yes, you were both due by your devious ex

0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.280
<v Speaker 5>girlfriend trying to get in the middle of you two

0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:58.480
<v Speaker 5>and break you tow up. You can't let her get

0:15:58.480 --> 0:15:59.840
<v Speaker 5>away with that that's a spin.

0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.200
<v Speaker 6>I mean no, we can. We can definitely go out

0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:08.640
<v Speaker 6>like like I said, steak or chicken or seafood or world.

0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:12.120
<v Speaker 5>You've given all the menu options. We know Brock. That's great, Chloe.

0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Were you ever excited about Brock like before the X, I.

0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:20.200
<v Speaker 6>Mean yeah, we were in the like having fun stage. Yeah, yeah,

0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:23.080
<v Speaker 6>we have fun together. Man, I can forget everything if

0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:27.480
<v Speaker 6>you can't, of course forget that.

0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:29.960
<v Speaker 5>That's quite an offer, Chloe. What do you think? Are

0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:32.000
<v Speaker 5>you fully moved on from Brock? Or is there any

0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:33.720
<v Speaker 5>part of you that wants to just give him, like

0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:36.400
<v Speaker 5>one more chance, just meet up with him like his

0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:38.720
<v Speaker 5>ex did she wanted him back.

0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:42.080
<v Speaker 6>Are you seriously asking that? So? Thank you?

0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I think this has been very clear from the

0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:45.800
<v Speaker 1>very beginnings.

0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:48.560
<v Speaker 5>Sounding like you're not buying what Brock is putting down.

0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:51.200
<v Speaker 6>Chloe, You're okay with missing out on all of this

0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:51.840
<v Speaker 6>because of her?

0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:54.680
<v Speaker 2>Why do I imagine him pointing to.

0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:58.320
<v Speaker 5>You're going to miss out on so much, all the

0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:00.560
<v Speaker 5>steak and the chicken, the seafood.

0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:03.400
<v Speaker 6>Don't forget to see man, no one.

0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:04.879
<v Speaker 5>Else can offer that all the cuisines.

0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:07.800
<v Speaker 6>I said no, and I couldn't be any clearer.

0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:09.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they.

0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:15.399
<v Speaker 1>All right, well, very very clear boundaries.

0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:21.360
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, how you doing, man, I'm awkward, I guess I understand.

0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:22.920
<v Speaker 6>I am sure.

0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:26.600
<v Speaker 5>Very I am so sorry about Brooks advice. If you

0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:28.400
<v Speaker 5>had gotten something else, you would have been.

0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:29.680
<v Speaker 2>Able to pull that my advice.

0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:31.840
<v Speaker 1>I didn't tell him to go into details about how

0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:33.760
<v Speaker 1>he hung out with both of them on the same side.

0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:37.560
<v Speaker 6>I took the higher roads for the first time, and

0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:38.959
<v Speaker 6>that obviously didn't work out.

0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:41.760
<v Speaker 3>I think you've tried to gas at the beginning, but

0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:42.280
<v Speaker 3>she caught on.

0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:46.760
<v Speaker 5>Well, remember we learned experts say there's less than a

0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:48.920
<v Speaker 5>five percent chance that getting back with Chloe would be

0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:49.520
<v Speaker 5>a good idea.

0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:52.439
<v Speaker 6>I mean, just one a time. I'm gonna take my

0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:53.280
<v Speaker 6>odds with my ex.

0:17:53.600 --> 0:18:01.760
<v Speaker 5>You don't she takes you back again, Jeffrey and morning.

0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:04.960
<v Speaker 5>It's always a good move to threaten to get back

0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:08.680
<v Speaker 5>with your ex to make somebody jealous. Brook You still

0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:10.680
<v Speaker 5>use that trick with your husband to this day.

0:18:10.760 --> 0:18:13.399
<v Speaker 2>Right, I would laugh if he said that to me.

0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:15.400
<v Speaker 2>He's so ridiculous.

0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:17.800
<v Speaker 5>Well, my ex never had any issues taking out the trash,

0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:19.200
<v Speaker 5>so maybe I'll go talk to him.

0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:21.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the first side of the healthy relationship.

0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:25.800
<v Speaker 5>Jeff Unfortunately, she already knew that he was kind of

0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:27.800
<v Speaker 5>back with his ex, so it was kind of doomed

0:18:27.800 --> 0:18:28.800
<v Speaker 5>from the start of that call.

0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:31.000
<v Speaker 1>I feel like Chloe could be like some sort of

0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:33.440
<v Speaker 1>research model of how to handle a guy like this.

0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:35.200
<v Speaker 2>She did so.

0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:40.480
<v Speaker 5>Well total indifference in sarcasts played well. But you know
