Speaker 1: We all say things we regret when we've put back
Speaker 1: one too many.
Speaker 2: Hey it was, Hey, how you do it?
Speaker 1: Trust me? You do not want to hear the rest
Speaker 1: of that recording with the banana demonstration. But as bad
Speaker 1: as that sounds, it was even worse for one of
Speaker 1: our listeners because what happened after one drunken night out
Speaker 1: at the bars has led to an entire year of
Speaker 1: her and her sister not speaking a word to each other.
Speaker 1: So now she needs our help to try and bring
Speaker 1: their family back together. You'll find out what happened in
Speaker 1: your closure call right after this. It's Brook and Jeffrey
Speaker 1: in the morning. And if I've learned anything from watching
Speaker 1: the movie Frozen over and over, it's that sisters always
Speaker 1: get along.
Speaker 3: The sisters always have each other's back, and it's love.
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that they always get a lost Maybe
Speaker 1: that's it might be a little annoying sometimes and accidentally
Speaker 1: cast a spell that sends the whole country into a violent,
Speaker 1: eternal winter that threatens to destroy everything, But you know what,
Speaker 1: for the most part, zero drama.
Speaker 3: Seriously, sometimes she can be in a mood and I'm
Speaker 3: just like.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, that's normal. Though Strangely, it's not the
Speaker 1: case for one of our listeners named Amelia, who's reached
Speaker 1: out for a closure call, needing help with a little
Speaker 1: bit of her family drama.
Speaker 3: That's happens.
Speaker 1: Let's talk to her. Name is again, Amelia, Amelia, welcome
Speaker 1: to the show.
Speaker 3: Thank you, you're welcome. Do you have more than one
Speaker 3: sister or is it just you and her?
Speaker 4: It's just the two of us.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, what's awesome?
Speaker 1: What's going on with you and your sister? What made
Speaker 1: you reach out to us?
Speaker 4: Okay, this is a lot, but I'll give you the
Speaker 4: close notes. So I am traditionally super close with my family, Okay,
Speaker 4: close with my mom, and we all kind of live
Speaker 4: near each other. And like my little sister Carissa was
Speaker 4: like in the same boat.
Speaker 1: I mean, like you lived on a boat together. That's
Speaker 1: kind of cute.
Speaker 3: It's a tropical version of frozen.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, I know you're close with all of your family.
Speaker 1: That's nice.
Speaker 4: Yeah, But I mean sisters are how they are. I mean, like,
Speaker 4: I'm not going to sit here and say that my
Speaker 4: sister and I didn't fight a lot about trivial things.
Speaker 2: But I was just talking about this with Alexus because
Speaker 2: she lives with twin sisters, and like, the thing about
Speaker 2: sister fights is you could like literally feel like your
Speaker 2: blood is boiling and then twenty minutes later it's done
Speaker 2: and over it and you move forward.
Speaker 4: Right, And that's always been the case. I mean, we
Speaker 4: had fights where like you would have thought we would
Speaker 4: kill each other before the fight ended. So it's volatile,
Speaker 4: but like it's not anything out of the ordinary work.
Speaker 1: Okay, so there were a lot of little fights, but
Speaker 1: it sounds like it leads up to one big fight.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so things have gone completely off the rails and
Speaker 4: now I just have no idea what to do.
Speaker 3: So why what happened?
Speaker 4: Yeah, one night we were on our way out and
Speaker 4: like before we even went to the bar, I noticed
Speaker 4: that she was wearing my mom's jewelry with a necklace
Speaker 4: like a little pendant and this ring that I'm obsessed
Speaker 4: with that's like this pearl ring that's surrounded by a
Speaker 4: little tiny diamonds.
Speaker 2: It's adorable, and you're always jockeying, like, hey, mom, you
Speaker 2: should really give that to me when you kick the bucket.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like I'm the oldest I wanted on these things.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. At my grandmother's house.
Speaker 2: We just put our names in masking tape on the
Speaker 2: stuff that we wanted.
Speaker 3: All my grandparents were still a live.
Speaker 1: God. Well, at least that gives you a little bit
Speaker 1: of perspective, Amelia, your situation could be worse. You could
Speaker 1: be Brooks sisters. So wait, how did she get the ring?
Speaker 3: Though?
Speaker 4: So my mom does have quite a few pieces that
Speaker 4: are heirloom pieces, and she has given Carissa a few,
Speaker 4: and she's given me a few, and so you have them,
Speaker 4: and like, I have one that's really similar. But like
Speaker 4: my issue with it is like we're going out tonight,
Speaker 4: like to the bars, Like you can't throw on some
Speaker 4: cheap stuff from forever twenty one, like you have to
Speaker 4: wear Mom's like precious stuff. And so I just didn't
Speaker 4: think that was a good idea, and so I had
Speaker 4: a bad attitude. I accept that, and maybe that led
Speaker 4: to her drinking a little bit more heavily than she
Speaker 4: would have. Like I've come to terms with that.
Speaker 1: Did something happen?
Speaker 4: Yes, so the ring is gone. She took it off
Speaker 4: to like wash her hands or something, and like, hey,
Speaker 4: good on you for washing your hands. I'll give you
Speaker 4: points for that, But like, why did you have the
Speaker 4: ring on in the first place if you are someone
Speaker 4: who takes them off to wash their hands, yike?
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, So how long ago was the ring lost?
Speaker 4: So this was over a year ago?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: A year? Yea, I know?
Speaker 4: No, why are you waiting a year to yeah to
Speaker 4: us to talk to her?
Speaker 1: Yeah? What's happened since that night with you your sister?
Speaker 4: Absolutely nothing except she moved out of state. That's all
Speaker 4: I know. We have not spoken.
Speaker 1: Nothing, but she moved a thousand miles away so she
Speaker 1: would never have to see me.
Speaker 3: Wait, you guys aren't talking.
Speaker 4: No, we got into a huge fight and like, granted
Speaker 4: I said some things that I should not have said.
Speaker 4: I was very angry, but like she was drunk and
Speaker 4: said some things too. Like we really got into it.
Speaker 4: And then about a month goes by, she moves out
Speaker 4: of state and that's it.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, did your parents know what happened?
Speaker 3: Do your parents know that she lost the ring and
Speaker 3: that was the start of all this?
Speaker 4: No, she won't talk to anybody, Like I know what happened.
Speaker 4: It's between us and you guys now. But like she
Speaker 4: literally just fell off the face of the planet.
Speaker 3: I mean, okay, I get it.
Speaker 2: It's a huge deal, but it's not a big enough
Speaker 2: deal that you should break up your family over it.
Speaker 1: Do you agree you need to get on the phone
Speaker 1: and apologize to you. I think Brooks saying that you
Speaker 1: should find a different sister to replace.
Speaker 2: This. There's a replaceable that makes me so sad for you,
Speaker 2: and I bet it would break your mom's heart. Like,
Speaker 2: of course your mom's going to be upset that the
Speaker 2: ring's gone, but she would be even more upset to
Speaker 2: know that your girls aren't talking because of it.
Speaker 1: So that's why you reached out to our show to
Speaker 1: do this closure call, so we could try and help
Speaker 1: you get back in touch and maybe try and mend
Speaker 1: some broken fences with your sister.
Speaker 2: Right, she moved exactly, and you haven't had any chance
Speaker 2: to apologize to her until now, right, Because.
Speaker 4: I mean I would have had she been able to
Speaker 4: return a text call. But I don't want to, like,
Speaker 4: you know, dump on her via text and just be like, well,
Speaker 4: I said it, so I'm good, because like that's not
Speaker 4: helpful either.
Speaker 1: You want to have a healthy conversation back and forth. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so do it the healthy way by going through a
Speaker 1: radio show. I like this, and so You've been working
Speaker 1: with our producer off of the air before we made
Speaker 1: this call to come up with the four questions that
Speaker 1: you wanted to send to your sister Clarissa and try
Speaker 1: and get some answers for her to help you get
Speaker 1: some closure and get you guys talking again. So we've
Speaker 1: sent those for you, and I will tell you Clarissa
Speaker 1: did respond back.
Speaker 3: Did Clarissa explain it all?
Speaker 1: Come on?
Speaker 3: Laughing?
Speaker 1: Text in funny because it was I don't know what
Speaker 1: was said. I haven't even read what she wrote. I
Speaker 1: don't haven't read the questions. I haven't read the answers.
Speaker 1: We're going to find all of this out for the
Speaker 1: first time when we come back. I hope not too.
Speaker 1: It's gonna happen when we do your closure call. Right
Speaker 1: after this. We're in the middle of a closure call
Speaker 1: with our listener Amelia. Just a quick recap of what's happened.
Speaker 1: She and her little sister have not spoken to each
Speaker 1: other in over a year after a big fight that
Speaker 1: they had when they went out to the bars one
Speaker 1: night and her sister drunkenly lost their mom's heirloom jewelry. No,
Speaker 1: so that led to an argument. Some things were said
Speaker 1: that Amelia now regrets because the sister ended up moving away,
Speaker 1: and nothing is worth losing a family member like that,
Speaker 1: which is why she's asked us to help her reach
Speaker 1: out back to her sister to get some answers.
Speaker 3: I can't imagine what you said.
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, do you want to repeat some of
Speaker 1: those things right here on the radio, Amelia?
Speaker 4: I mean, I will say I said a lot of
Speaker 4: regretful things, but nothing that merits a year of silence,
Speaker 4: Like I'll say that.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's fair.
Speaker 3: We'll see if she says the same thing.
Speaker 1: I know Brooke has said there's gotta be something else,
Speaker 1: some other reason, because a jewelry fight isn't a big
Speaker 1: enough reason to do that. And that got me thinking,
Speaker 1: what if she never actually lost the jewelry?
Speaker 3: What do you mean?
Speaker 1: What if she went and ponned it and lied and
Speaker 1: now feels guilty about it because that's the night.
Speaker 3: They were drinking, she had it on when they left.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what I would have done. I would
Speaker 1: have gone right to the pawn show.
Speaker 3: This entire time.
Speaker 4: If anything, this ring has more sentimental value than financial value.
Speaker 2: Your family heir, like my family, are looms like we
Speaker 2: love them. They're very sentimental to us. But then you
Speaker 2: go get it a praise and you're like, well, we
Speaker 2: could give you twenty six dollars.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah, Okay. We can all call our parents'
Speaker 1: jewelry cheap later. But now we need to get into
Speaker 1: these questions because, as you know, Amelia has already worked
Speaker 1: with our producer to send these four questions to her sister.
Speaker 1: We have her answers ready to read. Amelia, are you
Speaker 1: ready for this?
Speaker 4: I am?
Speaker 1: Okay, here we go. Let's go to the first closure
Speaker 1: call question we said. First of all, I feel completely
Speaker 1: terrible about the last time we hung out. I want
Speaker 1: to apologize for getting so angry and blowing up at
Speaker 1: you about mom's jewelry. I went way over the line
Speaker 1: with what I said, but I don't think it's worth
Speaker 1: moving out of state and breaking off contact with me.
Speaker 1: I'm super sorry. Can you forgive me?
Speaker 4: So?
Speaker 3: I mean that, but would hit me wrong. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: tell you everything in front of it.
Speaker 4: Ye, I mean, I wish it was a little more brief.
Speaker 4: I probably ran I haven't talked run so long, but
Speaker 4: it gets the overall point across, I guess, and.
Speaker 1: Also I'm not a very good reader, so they'll put
Speaker 1: some of that on me.
Speaker 2: Jeff, I know exactly how she felt in her tone
Speaker 2: of her response.
Speaker 3: What she said, we're.
Speaker 1: Basically asking for forgiveness, and your sister wrote back she said, well,
Speaker 1: I do appreciate you saying that, and I can one
Speaker 1: hundred percent forgive you. Oh, I will let you know.
Speaker 1: I had a friend tell you that I moved out
Speaker 1: of state, But really I just moved to a new neighborhood.
Speaker 1: What I'm about seven blocks away from what?
Speaker 4: No, that's what. That's all ridiculous. I haven't run into
Speaker 4: her seven blocks away.
Speaker 1: Like, actually, that's not I had a friend who moved
Speaker 1: into the same apartment complex with me, and I never
Speaker 1: once saw him ever in a year that he lived there.
Speaker 1: She might be actively trying to avoid you, even when
Speaker 1: you're out in about.
Speaker 2: Like she wears eyes, she wears a mustache, maybe some sunglasses.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if she would go that.
Speaker 3: Are you shocked? I am shocked, casual sounding response.
Speaker 4: I feel like I wouldn't put the mustache and losses
Speaker 4: thing pastor. I mean, this is really immature to do,
Speaker 4: like to tell somebody who moved out of state and
Speaker 4: you've just been there the whole time. Like, yeah, I'm
Speaker 4: a little put off by that.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, let's move on to question two. Here, we
Speaker 1: wrote to her, while I am sorry I reacted that way,
Speaker 1: I feel like you would have done the same. I
Speaker 1: told you Mom's jewelry was important to me, and you
Speaker 1: ignored what I said and lost it. Do you think
Speaker 1: maybe I could get an apology from you?
Speaker 3: God's that's what you wanted.
Speaker 4: Yeah, accountability is important, and like she has lacked accountability
Speaker 4: in other situations, so like, yeah, I do still hold
Speaker 4: her to that standard.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, we're asking for an apology from her. She
Speaker 1: wrote back, absolutely, I am sorry that that happened. Okay,
Speaker 1: I drank way too much and acted like a total idiot,
Speaker 1: and I feel really really bad for losing Mom's things.
Speaker 3: Why is your sister so reasonable and not to you?
Speaker 1: Because she's sober when she's writing back, I think the
Speaker 1: fights were all.
Speaker 3: It's been a year. Yeah, I'm sure she's been sober
Speaker 3: within the last year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but she keeps going. She says, that's not really
Speaker 1: the main reason I've been keeping my distance, though I
Speaker 1: knew it.
Speaker 3: What is it? What is it does, she.
Speaker 4: Say, right, what is it?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 4: I'm more confused now than ever, honestly.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, maybe we'll get some more answers as we
Speaker 1: keep moving through these. We're going to the third question
Speaker 1: in the closure call we sent. We haven't been able
Speaker 1: to catch up in the year since you moved, So
Speaker 1: is there anything else I should know? Your sister wrote back, Well,
Speaker 1: I'm nervous to tell you this, but the main reason
Speaker 1: why I cut contact and moved a little farther it
Speaker 1: is because I met someone, oh well, technically re met
Speaker 1: someone and we became very very close. Okay, please don't
Speaker 1: hate me forever. But for the last year or so,
Speaker 1: I've been seeing your ex Ryan.
Speaker 3: What gosh did you hear that?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I heard it, but like, no, I also did not
Speaker 4: just hear that, because that is like, that is such
Speaker 4: a boundary? Are you kidding me? Ryan and I literally
Speaker 4: lived together when she was living like a few balks away,
Speaker 4: when we were living in the same complex. Like it's
Speaker 4: not even okay, even if like nothing started when we
Speaker 4: were together, Like you can't go fishing in a different pond,
Speaker 4: like you have to go after my exes? Are you
Speaker 4: kidding me?
Speaker 1: Do you understand. That's why she said she mad, it's inappropriate,
Speaker 1: and that's why.
Speaker 4: She's that's disgusting. I'm completely disgusted. I'm not mad. I
Speaker 4: am literally physically ill right now.
Speaker 1: She does keep going and says, I'm really really sorry
Speaker 1: it just happened, and we didn't want to hurt you,
Speaker 1: so we've tried to keep it a secret.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's way. That's way better, right, that's super better.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I love how she says, I don't want to
Speaker 2: hurt you, but I'm not going to talk to you
Speaker 2: for a year.
Speaker 3: Like what do you think? Yeah, are you still in
Speaker 3: love with Ryan?
Speaker 4: No? I mean, like I'm all said, that was the
Speaker 4: first guy I ever lived with, Like we were together
Speaker 4: like through college and then we moved back Like she
Speaker 4: wouldn't have even known him if I had not moved
Speaker 4: in with him back home.
Speaker 3: That's kind of creepy on his part.
Speaker 6: Like and what if like what if they are like
Speaker 6: living together they like you know, like like when they'm
Speaker 6: going to be family with him? To no, Like no,
Speaker 6: I'm super close to my family, Like I cannot even
Speaker 6: believe that this is Like, I.
Speaker 1: Mean, I'm so sorry, but we're running out of time
Speaker 1: here and I have to get to the fourth and
Speaker 1: final question that we sent.
Speaker 4: I get it.
Speaker 1: So what we wrote to her was, I know we
Speaker 1: fight sometimes, but I do really miss you. We're sisters
Speaker 1: and we need to love and cherish each other. Is
Speaker 1: there any chance we can meet and catch up in person?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Well answer hard?
Speaker 3: Did you say hard?
Speaker 2: Pass?
Speaker 1: That was yours, which again we write before we get
Speaker 1: into the answers back.
Speaker 4: So right, if that did not age, well, wait, you
Speaker 4: all don't want.
Speaker 3: To see she should see.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that she did answer it. She wrote, well, actually,
Speaker 1: Ryan and I are supposed to go to mom and
Speaker 1: Dad's for the next holiday. So if that's not gonna
Speaker 1: be too, Dad, she says, f Yi, Mom and Dad
Speaker 1: know already about me and Ryan. They've known for four
Speaker 1: or five months. We all agreed not to tell you
Speaker 1: because we were worried that you wouldn't be able to
Speaker 1: handle it.
Speaker 3: Girl, you'll show them you can handle it, right, Like.
Speaker 4: I'm literally speechless, I have no I have no words.
Speaker 4: I mean, like, what am I even supposed to say
Speaker 4: to that? Like? So, like my mom and dad have
Speaker 4: been lying to me too, Like that's perfect, that's great stuff.
Speaker 3: Why, well, they could tell that you're I mean.
Speaker 4: You know, no, there's no excuse, like like, you can't
Speaker 4: protect somebody by like hiding the truth from them. You
Speaker 4: can't protect somebody by freezing them out but not talking
Speaker 4: to them. Like none of them handled this right from
Speaker 4: Jump Street. And I've been sitting here feeling guilty about
Speaker 4: some out of pocket comments that I made when I
Speaker 4: was rightfully angry.
Speaker 3: Like that makes like I get way more deep breath,
Speaker 3: deep breath. Does Ryan have a brother you could date.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying yea.
Speaker 4: If anything, I will, like I'm going after Ryan's dad.
Speaker 1: Oh well, at least maybe the good news that came
Speaker 1: out of this, as we've reopened the communication line with
Speaker 1: you and your sister and we've learned it really happened.
Speaker 3: I think after you sit with this will communicate. Okay, Well, I.
Speaker 2: Was gonna say, I think after you sit with this
Speaker 2: for a minute, maybe you'll see that it's not as
Speaker 2: big of a deal as.
Speaker 6: I'm going to sit with it.
Speaker 4: On Ryan's dad's lap.
Speaker 1: That was your closure call.
Speaker 2: I actually support that, Okay, Yeah, only if Ryan's dad's rich.
Speaker 1: It's broken. Jeffrey in the morning, Well that was a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a lot, you know, not so funny
Speaker 2: that there's drama and families.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when part of the family keep secrets and the
Speaker 1: other part and then it all comes out, who would
Speaker 1: have known this was drama? Dude.
Speaker 3: I feel like the parents are at the most fault
Speaker 3: in this. You have live. I believe mom and dad.
Speaker 3: I blame them, right.
Speaker 1: I don't say it, but be like, hey, you may
Speaker 1: want to check on your ex.
Speaker 2: Wrest one of the daughters to come clean and be
Speaker 2: honest about it from the beginning. You know, like if
Speaker 2: she would have gone and said, hey, do you mind
Speaker 2: I have interest in I know this is sticky, maybe
Speaker 2: they could have had a more honest conversation.
Speaker 5: That's just too hard, Okay, keeping a secret much simpler.
Speaker 3: Can get any comments on this one?
Speaker 5: Yeah, someone said my jaw actually dropped listening to this.
Speaker 5: This was a wild ride yep. And another person said,
Speaker 5: as the first time closure call listener, this was pretty
Speaker 5: damn good.
Speaker 3: This is the first one. Yeah, you got some more
Speaker 3: to catch up on Versure.
Speaker 2: Thanks for being here. Please hit that subscribe. It's Brooke
Speaker 2: and Jeffrey in the morning.
