Speaker 1: The second data to day. We've helped people rekindle old
Speaker 1: flames on the show before. Ye and when I say we,
Speaker 1: I mean Jose, Alexis and I talking about the other
Speaker 1: person usually barges into the conversation of pouty and sad
Speaker 1: and snuffs the flame right now. I love love. I
Speaker 1: think love is fantastic. I think it's what you don't
Speaker 1: have to scream it into my ears. I'm just asking
Speaker 1: out of the bottom of my heart, Brook today, please
Speaker 1: let's not give up on these people so quickly. I
Speaker 1: feel like the only times you ever say that is
Speaker 1: when the people really have screwed something. I can feel
Speaker 1: you giving up already. I'm just saying, whatever happened, whoever
Speaker 1: said whatever to whoever. Let's give them some grace. Okay,
Speaker 1: Let's give them some leeway. Yeah, can make mistakes. Let's
Speaker 1: be the healers that are listening. Audience deserves to hear.
Speaker 1: That's so hard you're plotting your own speech. That's the
Speaker 1: type of energy we're looking for listeners to. The only
Speaker 1: can we ask that of you today? How you feel
Speaker 1: like you're setting me up for something? But sure, half hearted,
Speaker 1: sure is the best We're going to do. Today, Thomas.
Speaker 1: So we're in a mildly safe place, she says she.
Speaker 1: We have welcome to the show Man. Thank you, thank
Speaker 1: you for having me, Thomas. We're ready to hear about
Speaker 1: the date that you went on. Tell us about who
Speaker 1: it was with. So it was with Marie, okay, and
Speaker 1: she is somebody that I knew in middle school. Out
Speaker 1: when I said old flame, I didn't realize it was
Speaker 1: that far back. Really, Yeah, did you guys slow dance
Speaker 1: at a at a middle school dance before? Um? No,
Speaker 1: we were never closed. Okay, she actually beat me up.
Speaker 1: Oh when I was a kid. She's like, You're like,
Speaker 1: you're so beautiful to me. Yea. Is she still scary
Speaker 1: or no, she's not as scary when we're a little
Speaker 1: bit intimidating to me. But she's not nearly as scary anymore.
Speaker 1: Did did she remember that you're the guy that she
Speaker 1: beat up? Yeah? So maybe I'm jumping ahead too much.
Speaker 1: But when I went out on the date with her,
Speaker 1: actually wore a boxing helmet, like boxing like headgear. Rematch.
Speaker 1: Let's do this now, let's go. What did she say
Speaker 1: when you showed up wearing that? She laughed, She thought
Speaker 1: it was great. She knew exactly what what it was.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's actually pretty funny. How did you
Speaker 1: guys reconnect just for a dating app? Oh? Wow, you
Speaker 1: guys matched on a dating app? Cool. Yeah, so I'm
Speaker 1: like recently divorced. I got on the dating app and
Speaker 1: and she was on there, and I didn't recognize her.
Speaker 1: Like I've sort of recognized her, but not completely. You're like,
Speaker 1: can I get a picture of your fists coming towards
Speaker 1: my face? Then I'm recognizing. But it's kind of crazy
Speaker 1: how many people like stay in town like after high school,
Speaker 1: like you're all in the same community. Still, that's great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was great. Um, so what did you guys end
Speaker 1: up doing for the date? Well? I just pecked her like, hey,
Speaker 1: just want to meet up for dinner. We just went
Speaker 1: to like a sports bar and had some food and
Speaker 1: oh that made her headgear not stand out as much
Speaker 1: since yeah big big fan. Yeah, what was the chemistry?
Speaker 1: Like I thought we had like great chemistry at first.
Speaker 1: I thought we had great chemistry. I thought everything was
Speaker 1: like good you know, conversation, like energy, the whole thing.
Speaker 1: Like I just felt like we had a really good
Speaker 1: dynamic at first. Yeah. Yeah, so like I guess this
Speaker 1: was a dumb move on me. But I told my mom.
Speaker 1: You know, it's a small community, so we all kind
Speaker 1: of knew each other. There's parents and all that stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and my mom actually ended up showing up on the date.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't blame I feel like my parents
Speaker 1: are the same. If I was like, you remember the
Speaker 1: blankety blanks from she did? She like, brook, Brook, don't
Speaker 1: give up. You're ready to quit on this feeling. It's
Speaker 1: feeling bad. How long? How long was the interaction with
Speaker 1: your mom? Please tell me? It was like, I'll put
Speaker 1: the judgment. How long did she stay on your day?
Speaker 1: She didn't stay that long. I mean she showed up,
Speaker 1: said hi, I gave her a hug, But like, I
Speaker 1: didn't tell her to come meet up with this. So
Speaker 1: I hope that she didn't think it was like set
Speaker 1: up or something by me. Oh yeah, I don't know. Honestly.
Speaker 1: It could just be that, like, suddenly there's the adult,
Speaker 1: sexy version of you, and then when you introduce the mom,
Speaker 1: all she could see was the dorky, junior high version
Speaker 1: of you that she beat up. Harsh. Yeah, some people
Speaker 1: in this room actually use their moms as their wingman
Speaker 1: to this day, isn't that right? Alect? I do think
Speaker 1: a guy I would like me more of them, But
Speaker 1: it sounds like it didn't work out quite that well
Speaker 1: for you. Now. You say that the chemistry changed totally
Speaker 1: after the mom So that's you're thinking that's where everything
Speaker 1: went wrong. Yeah, I think so. I mean the date
Speaker 1: didn't last much longer after that, Like we pretty much
Speaker 1: just like we paid, We hugged, and that was it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like a chess bump. Yeah yeah, bro activity But okay,
Speaker 1: have you reached out to her since that happened? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's nothing nothing. Yeah, has your mom tried reaching
Speaker 1: She bet her? Not like I didn't ask her to go. Well,
Speaker 1: we'll find out for sure when we play a song
Speaker 1: come back call Marie for you your old middle school bully.
Speaker 1: I just want to like let you guys know that
Speaker 1: she did beat me up. But I did get a
Speaker 1: few licks then too, so it wasn't like on the ground. Okay,
Speaker 1: Well we're gonna do it right after this with your
Speaker 1: second day up date. Hold on. You know they say
Speaker 1: in middle school, if a boy has ever mean to you,
Speaker 1: it's because secretly he actually likes you, and he just
Speaker 1: doesn't know how to show it's true. Sometimes it's true
Speaker 1: an adulthood. But I didn't realize when a girl in
Speaker 1: middle school roughs you up, it means she wants to
Speaker 1: go on a date with you twenty years later. See
Speaker 1: if you've manned up at all in that time. That's
Speaker 1: why I never got beat up by any girl. That's
Speaker 1: how Thomas reconnected with a woman named Marie from back
Speaker 1: in his middle school days. They went out to dinner together,
Speaker 1: and the weird part of it was when Thomas's mom
Speaker 1: showed up unannounced halfway through just to say hi to
Speaker 1: Marie again. My gosh, So that obviously through a wrench
Speaker 1: into the romance part of the day and hasn't seen
Speaker 1: her spoken to her since. Brooke, is there any final
Speaker 1: things that you want to say to Thomas before you
Speaker 1: ruin it once we get Marie on the phone. I mean,
Speaker 1: your mom ruined it, it sounds like, and that was
Speaker 1: a bad move on your mom's part, and you definitely
Speaker 1: need to have a conversation with your mommy about boundaries. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I promise if you guys get me a second date,
Speaker 1: I promise I will not tell her about anything. I
Speaker 1: will tell her where we're going. That's a good rule
Speaker 1: to live by, yeah, secretive. Ye all right, So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna doll Marie's number. We're gonna see what she has
Speaker 1: to say. You ready, Thomas, yep, Okay, here we go. Hello.
Speaker 1: Hey is this Marie? Yeah? Who's this? My name's Jeff
Speaker 1: from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 1: Um okay, yeah, exactly. This be such a weird phone call. Again. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm cleanly in here. What's going on? This is
Speaker 1: something we do call the second date update? And one
Speaker 1: of our listeners, Thomas, reached out to us because he
Speaker 1: says he went out on a date with you. Oh Dot,
Speaker 1: you're being connected, okay, yeah, yeah, So he's been having
Speaker 1: trouble reaching you after the date and he's not one
Speaker 1: hundred percent sure why. He does have a little bit
Speaker 1: of a idea of maybe what caused it, though, Um, well,
Speaker 1: not that it's any of your business. But I was
Speaker 1: on a business trip bread after that date. I had
Speaker 1: to actually leave early to catch an early flight in
Speaker 1: the morning. Oh oh, so maybe you haven't called him back?
Speaker 1: Just have you been just too busy? Yeah, I just
Speaker 1: got in town. Oh were you planning on getting back
Speaker 1: with Thomas then and having another date. Okay, so maybe
Speaker 1: we were reading it right. What's going on? Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was kind of cool. I don't know if he said
Speaker 1: anything to you, but we knew each other middle school,
Speaker 1: and yeah, we heard the story about how you actually
Speaker 1: beat him up once. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that sounds like
Speaker 1: a fond memory for you. Yeah, and he told us
Speaker 1: that he wore headgear when he showed up to the date.
Speaker 1: Was that fun for you? Well, it was right on
Speaker 1: the razor's edge of being totally too nerdy to be
Speaker 1: able to handle. But yeah, well you have to be
Speaker 1: really hot to pull off like wrestling headgear. It's funny.
Speaker 1: He's got that kind of like cute, nerdy Ryan Reynolds
Speaker 1: thing going. That's a bad thing. Do you think Ryan
Speaker 1: Reynolds is nerdy? No, she's a nerdy version of Yeah. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: he kind of pulled it off because at first I
Speaker 1: was like, oh god, no, please, oh please, But then
Speaker 1: you know, it kind of was funny and you know,
Speaker 1: like we took care of the elephant in the room. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I beat the snot out of him in sixth grade.
Speaker 1: Like it sounds good? Yeah, I mean what else did
Speaker 1: you think about the date his mom? Yeah, showed up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're hoping wouldn't bring that out. We also know about that,
Speaker 1: and he says that up. I mean we're back in
Speaker 1: sixth grade. Oh my head. Defense. He had no idea
Speaker 1: that she was gonna just randomly showed up. He didn't
Speaker 1: invite her there. He felt the same way what you
Speaker 1: just said was like, oh, just like, did it bring
Speaker 1: you right back to junior High? Is that way? Oh? Yeah? No,
Speaker 1: just like do I need a haul pass for a
Speaker 1: second date? I mean, we just it was weird. You
Speaker 1: were excited to see his mom and like share some
Speaker 1: old stories. Oh hell, now, yeah, it's probably not the
Speaker 1: mood that you were going for. But oh can you
Speaker 1: I mean, can't you forgive him for that? It clearly
Speaker 1: wasn't It was out of his decision. Yeah, well okay,
Speaker 1: so maybe that's out of his control. But I was
Speaker 1: actually thinking about getting back in town and maybe giving
Speaker 1: him a calling, going out again, because it was she
Speaker 1: know was it was a great hit up until that point.
Speaker 1: An his mother hold me? Did you say called to
Speaker 1: his mother called me? How did she get your phone? Oer?
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a small town. We all grew up here.
Speaker 1: We don't know each other, so I mean it. She
Speaker 1: probably called my mother and got my cell phone, didn't
Speaker 1: you say, I get this call? And she says, why
Speaker 1: aren't you not coming my Tommy back? He had a
Speaker 1: wonderful time with you. Oh, so getting a call from
Speaker 1: a radio station isn't making it better? Why are you Tommy? Like?
Speaker 1: What fresh hell is this? I mean, it is just what.
Speaker 1: It's gonna keep going on like yeah, until you actually
Speaker 1: call him back and go on a date with him. Clearly, No,
Speaker 1: he has no idea that his mom called you. Do
Speaker 1: you know that? I don't know. I don't know. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you he doesn't know. Yeah, I don't think he knows.
Speaker 1: We should ask him if he has any idea, because Tommy,
Speaker 1: because I was calling Tommy Thomas, our Thomas is on
Speaker 1: the other line listening. He's been there the whole time.
Speaker 1: He wants to talk to you, Marie. Yeah, to her now, Yes, Um,
Speaker 1: I had no idea you And I apologize. I don't
Speaker 1: know what compelled her to do that. I really apologize.
Speaker 1: I promise you. There are barriers I will like set
Speaker 1: up barriers for this in the future. Will never happen again.
Speaker 1: Physical barrier, not just like your mom told me on
Speaker 1: the phone. In addition to raeming me out for not
Speaker 1: calling you back, she also said that she's spoken to
Speaker 1: your ex wife over the years and just between us girls,
Speaker 1: he's hot in the stack, no sad in the stack.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh no, Thomas, is your mother right
Speaker 1: about that? I actually just want to jump out of
Speaker 1: my second story window right now. I feel like Jeffrey,
Speaker 1: of all people, has empathy for you. He's got a
Speaker 1: mom like you have a mom like this. She signed
Speaker 1: you up for a dating app without you even knowing
Speaker 1: about it, but then you just get used to having
Speaker 1: her in the room when you're kissing the girl she
Speaker 1: chews on. She actually does have a lot of knowledge
Speaker 1: of it. I can see your mom like, let me
Speaker 1: just take some pictures. Yeah, I feel bad. Do you
Speaker 1: feel bad for him? You got to feel a little
Speaker 1: bad for Thomas. Oh no, I do. I feel really
Speaker 1: bad for him. But do I need to jump into
Speaker 1: that kind of mojo? I know it doesn't sound like
Speaker 1: you could handle his type of mojo. Jo does sound
Speaker 1: like a mom, Thomas. I do think that you need
Speaker 1: to take a little bit of responsibility here because apparently
Speaker 1: you told your mom that Marie wasn't calling you back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. I mean, but I just didn't know
Speaker 1: that that was going to turn into her calling and
Speaker 1: trying to like get to the bottom of it. Well,
Speaker 1: and I hope the conversation was, Hey, mom, don't show
Speaker 1: up to my dates because now my date isn't calling
Speaker 1: me back. Yeah. I definitely should have probably brought that up.
Speaker 1: I mean seriously, Yeah, you don't talk to your mother
Speaker 1: that way. Marie. I just want to say, like, I'm
Speaker 1: so sorry that she reached out to you. I did
Speaker 1: not know that was going to happen. And then on
Speaker 1: top of all of that, we're on the radio right now,
Speaker 1: and like we're putting all this stuff out there. So
Speaker 1: I just want to say, I'm like very mortified that
Speaker 1: that happened, and I'd really like to go back out
Speaker 1: with you. I just, you know, I'm sorry about everything.
Speaker 1: That sounds pretty sincere to me, to my ears, Marie,
Speaker 1: how do you feel about that? Well? Could you pinky
Speaker 1: promised me that your mom's not gonna have anything to
Speaker 1: do with it. Like I said, I'm gonna definitely have
Speaker 1: a talk with her about like everything that's happened, I'm
Speaker 1: maybe not stop talking well, I mean I can't stop
Speaker 1: talking to her. I mean she is my mom and
Speaker 1: good boy, good boy. Yes, yes, So let us step
Speaker 1: in here for a second and ask Marie, Marie, would
Speaker 1: you like to go out on another date with our
Speaker 1: little Tommy. We'll pay for that date now that you
Speaker 1: know the whole story, you know everything. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: I would. Yes, that's actually cute. I do feel like
Speaker 1: we need to call his mom in like an awkward
Speaker 1: Tuesday and like set some ground rolls for your guys.
Speaker 1: Did did she just say yes? Because he's such a
Speaker 1: sexual dynamo, the mom's actually no comment. Okay, nice guy's
Speaker 1: got it, Tommy, jun you're going to be going on
Speaker 1: talking about something else. Yeah, broken Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 1: That just goes to show no matter how bad the
Speaker 1: date is and how bad the aftermath of the date is,
Speaker 1: if you bring a heartfelt apology and swear it'll never
Speaker 1: happen again, you have a shot for another chance at love. Yeah,
Speaker 1: anyone can do it. I have such hard emotions on
Speaker 1: this one because I wanted it for Thomas. I want
Speaker 1: him to have another chance because he deserves it, but
Speaker 1: for her. If I was her, I'd run. Yeah, I'd
Speaker 1: run for the hills. I'm sorry, but you marry the
Speaker 1: mother too. Yeah, I don't want well, I mean it, seriously,
Speaker 1: it was hard to come back from that. Not only
Speaker 1: does moms show up and embarrass you on the date,
Speaker 1: she calls after the date and tells her he's a
Speaker 1: dynamo in the sack just like his dad. That's a
Speaker 1: death sentence for ninety nine point nine percent of these calls.
Speaker 1: But somehow we worked a miracle. Well, yeah, I think
Speaker 1: that his moves in the bedroom worked a miracle according
Speaker 1: to his mom. Yeah. Yeah, we teamed up on that one.
Speaker 1: I think if this segment ever gets played in England,
Speaker 1: we're going to get knighted for it. Okay, Yeah, jeff
Speaker 1: that's that's what I'm holding on. Okay, you keep hoping
Speaker 1: for that, all right. And I also hope that more
Speaker 1: listeners send us emails asking for second date updates, because
Speaker 1: we can all the person you wouldn't calling you back.
Speaker 1: Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning,
