Speaker 1: I feel like Thursday is just our little special treat day.
Speaker 2: Hey, it's Brook and Jeffrey in the morning, and this
Speaker 2: is the Second Date Podcast because you get a little
Speaker 2: something different.
Speaker 1: Every Thursday, you love and this time it's a brand
Speaker 1: new closure call.
Speaker 2: And this guy is definitely desperate for our help after
Speaker 2: he received a out of the I don't know what
Speaker 2: do you say? Out of the blue text from his girlfriend.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll call it that random.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you'll hear it in just a second. But first,
Speaker 2: we always love to feature your comments.
Speaker 1: Because we love you. Yes, is that two forward? Maybe not?
Speaker 1: I don't know what do you got to say?
Speaker 4: Jackson French said, Oh lord, the day has come aussy
Speaker 4: here and I caught up on twenty twenty five, so
Speaker 4: let's bring on twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: I found my girlfriend with shared interest in your.
Speaker 4: Show and now I have her hooked Tooay, so cute.
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 2: If you ever run out of the Second Date Podcast,
Speaker 2: we do a full show hour over on our main
Speaker 2: podcast as well, which is just Brooke and Jeffrey.
Speaker 1: If you want to punish yourself for an entire hour
Speaker 1: listening to it.
Speaker 4: And this is proof that listening to us it doesn't
Speaker 4: mean you give people to it.
Speaker 3: For yourself. I'm on the showye the.
Speaker 2: We're going to start your brand new closure call on
Speaker 2: your second day podcast right now.
Speaker 3: I've heard. The farther you get into a relationship, the
Speaker 3: harder it is to break up. That's true, because then
Speaker 3: you have to have a long conversation about why it's ending,
Speaker 3: and how it's not your fault. I outgrew you, it's
Speaker 3: my fault for growing. And who's going to get custody
Speaker 3: of the passwords to which streaming services? I call it
Speaker 3: to be.
Speaker 1: Like the free Wood I get it.
Speaker 3: I just give one out an hour. Bro See already
Speaker 3: Brooke and I are butting heads on this because it's
Speaker 3: not an easy conversation, but it's what you have to do.
Speaker 3: You can never break up. No, and one of our
Speaker 3: listeners feels like he did not get the respect he
Speaker 3: deserves when after months of dating, his girlfriend just sent
Speaker 3: him one short text that completely blindsided him, and all
Speaker 3: he really wants his answers. So we're gonna try to
Speaker 3: help him with that in a brand new closure call
Speaker 3: that's coming up right after this. Well, well, well look
Speaker 3: who came crawling back? One of our listeners who needs
Speaker 3: our help once again?
Speaker 2: Is this a collect call from a jail cell with
Speaker 2: the music?
Speaker 3: It's a guy named Nick and the last time he
Speaker 3: was on with us, he was trying to lock down
Speaker 3: a second date with a lady cop. Oh this was yesterday, Brook, Well.
Speaker 1: If you don't remember totally, remember that, Nick.
Speaker 3: No, it was a few months ago, but you might
Speaker 3: remember if you do listen. The reason he wasn't getting
Speaker 3: a call back was his date used her police connections
Speaker 3: to dig deep into Knick's personal history. That alone led
Speaker 3: to drama aside from the information she found out, So
Speaker 3: they ended up not going out.
Speaker 1: I remember that one now.
Speaker 3: But after our call, according to our producer, Nick jumped
Speaker 3: quickly back into another relationship with a different woman named Brenda,
Speaker 3: and apparently now he needs some help with a closure
Speaker 3: call from us.
Speaker 1: Interesting. Oh I thought we were doing this second date.
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Well, Nick, first, welcome back to the show.
Speaker 6: Hey, thanks for having me back.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Brooke did not want to, but that's okay. We
Speaker 3: voted against her three to one and decided we're allowing
Speaker 3: you back on the show. Remember voting. So tell us
Speaker 3: about this girl Brenda that you were dating, our dating.
Speaker 3: What's the situation there, so as you as.
Speaker 6: You mentioned, like after I, you know, had my experience
Speaker 6: with Lady cop uh huh, I hopped back on the hinge.
Speaker 6: I met Brenda. Okay, good for about two months. We've
Speaker 6: been going strong. It was so good that on our
Speaker 6: second hinge date, we decided to both delete our respective
Speaker 6: Hinge account.
Speaker 1: On the second day.
Speaker 3: Did you guys do it together?
Speaker 7: Like?
Speaker 6: Why?
Speaker 1: Like two?
Speaker 3: Well, you didn't push it. What's going on?
Speaker 2: I think it was just my phone message updating on
Speaker 2: new iOS.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's a big move, though, it's a delete hinge
Speaker 3: big moves.
Speaker 6: And we've also, you know, the friend groups have started
Speaker 6: to meet. So I met her friend, she met my friends.
Speaker 6: That was a big thing.
Speaker 1: I can't tell if you're excited or you're mad right now.
Speaker 6: Well, I'm excited because all of this is really great.
Speaker 6: But then I get a text message six nights ago
Speaker 6: that just says I can't see you anymore.
Speaker 1: No, I think that is so rude.
Speaker 6: Yeah again, like we've been seeing each other for two months.
Speaker 6: You don't text someone I can't see you. You know,
Speaker 6: this isn't casual anymore.
Speaker 1: Give a reason in the text, or just do it
Speaker 1: in person. Why is everyone so scared to talk to anyone?
Speaker 1: You give me a QR code.
Speaker 2: Breaking up.
Speaker 3: We can't see each other. So the way you're saying,
Speaker 3: that happened completely out of the blue. There's nothing that
Speaker 3: you had sent to her right before that that could
Speaker 3: have prompted that response. No.
Speaker 6: In fact, we were making plans for the weekend. So
Speaker 6: then it was quiet for about an hour. I was like, Okay, well,
Speaker 6: maybe she's doing something. And then I get a message
Speaker 6: I can't see you anymore.
Speaker 1: Did Lady Cop contact her and give her your wrap sheet?
Speaker 6: She better not have.
Speaker 3: The bigger problem. Okay, So you want to do a
Speaker 3: closure call, obviously to figure out why Brenda sent you
Speaker 3: that text. But I feel like we need to learn
Speaker 3: a little bit more about her, Like tell us about
Speaker 3: who she is, like what her personality is, Like.
Speaker 6: Uh, well, she's not a lady Cop. She doesn't spy
Speaker 6: on me, so that's great.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, what do you like about her?
Speaker 6: So we have a very similar sense of humor. I
Speaker 6: have a pretty dark sense of humor, sarcasm, things like that,
Speaker 6: And I think that on the first date there was
Speaker 6: definitely a lot of physical chemistry. I mean, I don't
Speaker 6: want to tell tales out of school. But you know, definitely,
Speaker 6: like very early on in our relationship, we could definitely
Speaker 6: sense like the physical part was not going to be
Speaker 6: a challenge, but then all the other stuff was there.
Speaker 6: So the humor, her friends are awesome, she seemed to
Speaker 6: like my friends as well.
Speaker 1: Sucks.
Speaker 2: It sounds like you were really excited about this relationship.
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, And so that's why it's a little confusing
Speaker 6: because at first I thought she might have been joking
Speaker 6: when she said that, but no, no responses.
Speaker 2: Are you wanting to give it another chance? Or like
Speaker 2: if she came back and it was some miscommunication or something,
Speaker 2: or are you done?
Speaker 6: I would be open to it. But this is a
Speaker 6: big red flag. Just getting a text message that says
Speaker 6: like it's over, So I would like to one know
Speaker 6: why it's over, and two like if there's a way
Speaker 6: for us to repair. Yeah, but my spidy sense is
Speaker 6: up because something's not cool if she's just sending a
Speaker 6: message breaking up with me.
Speaker 3: And the thing is with this segment. Normally, the way
Speaker 3: we do closure calls is by sending the other person
Speaker 3: an email with four questions in it, waiting for them
Speaker 3: to write back and hopefully get their permission to say
Speaker 3: it on the air.
Speaker 2: This is usually something where we go deep into people's history.
Speaker 1: I mean this is so recent.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's why we're not gonna do it that way.
Speaker 3: This time. We're gonna call Brenda directly.
Speaker 1: Oh and just ask.
Speaker 3: Her all the questions we need to right now, live
Speaker 3: on the air.
Speaker 1: Okay, does she know?
Speaker 3: She does not know. We're gonna blindside her, just like
Speaker 3: our boy got blindsided with that random text message. So
Speaker 3: we hope she.
Speaker 1: Picks up, or we're just gonna try to call her
Speaker 1: every day until she does.
Speaker 3: It could be eight minutes of NonStop calls and hanging
Speaker 3: off and trying again. We'll find out when we come
Speaker 3: back and attempt to do an in person closure call
Speaker 3: right after this for just joining us. We're in the
Speaker 3: middle of a closure call, and we've never quite done
Speaker 3: it like this for no, because normally we're reaching out
Speaker 3: to people who haven't spoken to one another in years,
Speaker 3: sometimes for decades, trying to figure out what happened between them,
Speaker 3: uncover any missing information about why that person isn't in
Speaker 3: their lives anymore, and bring them some long needed closure
Speaker 3: about it. Okay, but this is different. Because it happened.
Speaker 3: Just six days ago, our listener Nick got a text
Speaker 3: from a woman named Brenda. This is a woman who
Speaker 3: he's been dating for a couple months.
Speaker 1: Exclicitly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the text just said I can't see you anymore.
Speaker 1: Right before there'supposed to go on a weekend trip together.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no explanation, no lead up to it, not even
Speaker 3: nice little evite card with little dancing people to make
Speaker 3: it a little bit softer, easier to digest. And he's
Speaker 3: tried multiple ways to contact her and figure out why.
Speaker 3: So he's got nothing, And now we're gonna step in
Speaker 3: and try to help by just calling Brenda directly for
Speaker 3: a in person closure call.
Speaker 1: So I have a quick question. We haven't done this before.
Speaker 2: Do we have pre prepared questions that we're going to
Speaker 2: go through like we normally would.
Speaker 3: That's a good question, Brook. Do you have them ready?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 3: No, because you should have been working on something.
Speaker 1: I can figure it out. I guess I did nothing.
Speaker 3: You're going to wing it?
Speaker 2: And then are we going to call him in on
Speaker 2: the call like we do second dates or is he
Speaker 2: going to be silent the whole time?
Speaker 3: I think if we want Brenda to stay on the phone.
Speaker 3: We probably should try and talk to her alone first. Okay,
Speaker 3: I know, Nick, it sounds like you don't like the
Speaker 3: sound of that.
Speaker 6: Nick, No, I bring me on. I'm just really curious
Speaker 6: to hear what she has to say. That's a bottom line.
Speaker 3: Right now, let's see what happens. I'm just going to
Speaker 3: dial her number. We have to dial it four, ten,
Speaker 3: twenty times until she picks up. We're going to do
Speaker 3: whatever it takes to get you closure. Okay, Nick, thank you?
Speaker 3: Right so formal, I know, so serious, but here we go.
Speaker 3: I'm calling right now. Hello, Hey is this Brenda?
Speaker 1: This is she?
Speaker 6: Hey.
Speaker 3: Sorry to be really excited there for a second. I
Speaker 3: just wasn't sure you're gonna pick up. We're who uh
Speaker 3: now we're You're on the radio right now with a
Speaker 3: show called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 1: Oh, good morning, Hi Brenda.
Speaker 5: Good morning. What can I do for you?
Speaker 3: You could answer a few questions that we have for
Speaker 3: you because we're doing this segment called closure Call, and uh,
Speaker 3: it's actually the first time that we've done it with
Speaker 3: someone uh.
Speaker 1: Live and sounds like we talked to dead people. It's
Speaker 1: usually send out, but oh it's moving. We decided to
Speaker 1: call you instead.
Speaker 5: I'm kind of in the dark over here. What are
Speaker 5: you guys talking about?
Speaker 3: Okay, well, maybe turn on a light switch if it's
Speaker 3: a dark room, or can you do go to your window?
Speaker 1: That is a waste of time.
Speaker 3: Okay, get to it all right. I like the joke, Jeff.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you. The reason why we're calling is because
Speaker 3: a friend of the show, his name is Nick, is
Speaker 3: bummed out. Okay, Well, he is upset, distraught even after
Speaker 3: he got your text message recently saying we can't see
Speaker 3: each other.
Speaker 1: He just doesn't understand why he should know why.
Speaker 3: A lot of women say that about the man they
Speaker 3: should understand. But the thing about us is we're pretty clueless,
Speaker 3: and that's why he's reached out to us for help.
Speaker 5: There's no misunderstandings when you just lie, though, lie.
Speaker 3: So you're saying that there was alleged lying in your relationship,
Speaker 3: We don't know what that means. Would you be able
Speaker 3: to elaborate a little bit?
Speaker 5: You know what?
Speaker 6: Sure?
Speaker 5: So you know that we went out for two months, right, Yeah, Well,
Speaker 5: we agreed to lead our hinge accounts and three weeks
Speaker 5: in one of my girlfriends said she thought she saw
Speaker 5: a guy on hinge that looked exactly like him.
Speaker 2: We thought, or did, yeah, well, yeah, I mean all
Speaker 2: Nicks look alike, right, we.
Speaker 5: Shots right, but she didn't have the profile, and I
Speaker 5: didn't really know what to do other than to ask
Speaker 5: Nick about it right away, and he just denied it.
Speaker 5: He said I was mistaken, his friend was my friend
Speaker 5: was mistaken, and so, you know, I didn't really think
Speaker 5: much about it. I trusted him and we moved on.
Speaker 5: But forward to last week. It's been about two months
Speaker 5: at this point, and my same friend said she saw
Speaker 5: him again, and this time she took a screenshot.
Speaker 1: Oh there's evidence.
Speaker 5: It's so clearly him, Like these are new, updated photos.
Speaker 5: I recognize the picture because I was literally with him
Speaker 5: when one of them was taken.
Speaker 3: Like, oh, your arm is like around his shoulder and
Speaker 3: he like cropped you out of it.
Speaker 5: I'm not in a photo, but it's the restaurant that
Speaker 5: we went to, and it's the same clothing.
Speaker 1: Y Oh wow, that must feel really bad.
Speaker 3: But there are a lot of deep AI fakes, Brooks.
Speaker 3: Some people like to borrow other people's photos to use
Speaker 3: for their own. People do that with me all the time.
Speaker 1: You're all over the day now.
Speaker 3: And it's not me. It's just a way that people
Speaker 3: want to use me for their benefit.
Speaker 2: Because we've never had one listener say they came across
Speaker 2: any of your profiles, because.
Speaker 3: Our listeners are smart Brook, they know it's a fake funnier.
Speaker 3: So let's look, there could be a misunderstanding here, and
Speaker 3: you should at least talk to Nick while he's on
Speaker 3: the other line listening, waiting to speak to you about
Speaker 3: it before we call this relationship ended for good.
Speaker 5: But he can't be on the line right now. He is.
Speaker 3: I think he's still there something else.
Speaker 1: Bus he's swiping through his other profile.
Speaker 3: Nick, are you there?
Speaker 6: I am here, and I'm glad that you brought this
Speaker 6: up because you're not wrong. Wait, what I wish that
Speaker 6: you had just come to me because there's.
Speaker 1: Like a totally reasonable explanation.
Speaker 6: What I heard from my friends is that you had
Speaker 6: a profile that was still going up, and so I
Speaker 6: created a profile so you would see that and then
Speaker 6: come to me and be like, hey, I saw that.
Speaker 5: Oh no no, no, no, no no no no guys, sorry, no, no.
Speaker 1: That didn't even make sense.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what you're saying is you heard a rumor that
Speaker 3: she had a Hinge profile first, so he made one
Speaker 3: to get back at her.
Speaker 5: And why did you deny it when I asked you?
Speaker 1: Yeah, screenshots.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it just feels so classic cheater caught right,
Speaker 2: like as soon as you catch it, cheeer like.
Speaker 3: No, you were cheating, dad.
Speaker 6: Look, this is just what my friend said. So I'm
Speaker 6: just telling you what I heard.
Speaker 5: I swear to you I have not been on Hinge
Speaker 5: since we got together. And if you really want to
Speaker 5: prove that I was on it, I want to see
Speaker 5: that screenshot. Show me what I was able to show you,
Speaker 5: because it doesn't.
Speaker 3: Exist unless Brooke used your photo in order to catfish
Speaker 3: men in order to lure them over to her place.
Speaker 3: Because that does happen. We've learned.
Speaker 2: Brenda, you do sound hot like I sound like I
Speaker 2: would use your picture, but I don't have a profile either.
Speaker 6: Okay, in the end, it really doesn't matter, because Brenda,
Speaker 6: I really do want to forgive you for doing.
Speaker 3: Wow, that's a big thing to do. Even though you
Speaker 3: may have tried to get on the hinge once more,
Speaker 3: He's willing to overlook that and try it again.
Speaker 2: In your relationships, big man, Brenda, this is absolutely this
Speaker 2: is unbelievable.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker 1: It is such classic.
Speaker 2: I feel like you full uncheated now, the way that
Speaker 2: he's handling this Brook.
Speaker 6: You're supposed to be on my side here, I mean,
Speaker 6: you're supoke down my back here. I'm a friend of
Speaker 6: the show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, with sketchy behavior. Man, the last time you're
Speaker 2: on the show, a lady out at you for some
Speaker 2: sort of I think he was divorced.
Speaker 3: Divorce.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you were married, now broke out.
Speaker 3: Divorce might still be active, so it's probably not safe to.
Speaker 6: Talk about it.
Speaker 5: You know what, I knew. I knew that this was
Speaker 5: too good to be true. We were boyfriend and girlfriend.
Speaker 6: Listen. The bottom line is we both made mistakes. You
Speaker 6: were and I was on hinge. We happened to be
Speaker 6: on a hinge at different times, sometimes the same time.
Speaker 6: Let's just move afted, you know, and get back together.
Speaker 3: Wow, he's putting it all out on the table for
Speaker 3: you there, Brenda. He's admitting that he's flawed. You're a
Speaker 3: little flaws, but together your flaws make the perfect relationships.
Speaker 1: That was one romantic speech. It was I was on hinge.
Speaker 1: You were on hinge.
Speaker 3: Allegedly, So let's see Brenda, are you willing to look
Speaker 3: past her own mistakes?
Speaker 1: Wow? Get a gas lighter too.
Speaker 3: No, I'm just we've all made mistakes. You're doing I've
Speaker 3: made mistakes on this segment already.
Speaker 1: You're doing it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's all look past all the mistakes we've ever
Speaker 3: made and give this relationship one more chance.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I really hope that Nick out the closure he needed,
Speaker 5: because I am more than finished with this.
Speaker 1: Nick.
Speaker 2: It didn't like cross your mind at any point when
Speaker 2: you got that text, like maybe she found my hinge
Speaker 2: profile and that's why she wants to break up with me.
Speaker 6: Look straight up, I'm on a lot of different dating apps,
Speaker 6: so oh wow, dude, I don't know which one she found.
Speaker 6: It could have been.
Speaker 1: Any closure call for himself.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so there you go.
Speaker 3: That's your first in person closure call.
Speaker 1: I'm really happy for Brenda.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she got the closure that he wanted to get
Speaker 3: out of the woking Jeffrey in the morning. We've never
Speaker 3: done this before.
Speaker 1: I don't think we should do it again.
Speaker 3: Well No, I feel like that's out. What I mean,
Speaker 3: I feel like we need to give Nick a one
Speaker 3: year suspension before we have him back on the show again.
Speaker 1: I see I thought you meant we should never have
Speaker 1: a live closure call again. No, that was a hot Traine.
Speaker 3: It was messy, but we got to the point of it. Clearly,
Speaker 3: Nick is not in a great place right now.
Speaker 1: Nick has a hard time being honest.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it just doesn't sound like he's ready for a relationship,
Speaker 7: and I don't know if we're ready for him, because
Speaker 7: he's divorcing people, he's lying to other people, he's opening
Speaker 7: up dating accounts while spying on other dating accounts to.
Speaker 2: A radio station to act innocent like maybe he just
Speaker 2: wants to Maybe he loves the show that much.
Speaker 3: Maybe he could be calling us once a week if
Speaker 3: we don't put the kabash on it. So Nick, I'm sorry, buddy,
Speaker 3: we love you, but you're suspended from the show for
Speaker 3: a year and it's.
Speaker 1: Only Jeff that loves you right now. I'm we're in
Speaker 1: a hard spot right now.
Speaker 3: That was a hard spot too. He's got some stuff
Speaker 3: to work out. But once you work it all out,
Speaker 3: maybe we'll talk about having.
Speaker 1: You back, but it'll be stable. He won't need us, yeah,
Speaker 1: and then we won't want it.
Speaker 3: But don't forget if you're listening to us on podcasts
Speaker 3: right now make sure to hit that subscribe button.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
