Speaker 2: to waste your money on a gift.

46
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 3: Okay, background my family officially does not like him.

47
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 2: Oh well, this is going to be easier. That's easy.

48
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 2: That helps.

49
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, he came over last year and had way too

50
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 3: much eggnog, insulted.

51
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 2: My parents Christmas tree. Oh called it dollar store.

52
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 3: She ended up wolcing with it and then fell on

53
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 3: top of it.

54
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: It sounds like one of your exes, Brooke.

55
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 3: This is not the first time he's done dumb stuff.

56
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 3: Dumb stuff is capitalized this letter. Okay, he's a good guy,

57
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 3: but it's time for him to finally grow up and

58
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 3: for me to move on to somebody else. I tend

59
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 3: to shy away from tough conversations. That's why I really

60
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 3: need you to do the dirty work and break up

61
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 3: with him for me.

62
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,399
Speaker 1: Oh so, the reason is he's dumb and does dumb stuff.

63
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 2: That's not I mean, your entire family get it that

64
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 2: you're gonna say, Brooke. The letter ends you're the best Brooke.

65
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: Brooke, there is a woman in need during the holidays.

66
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: You're not gonna be a scrooge and throw her out

67
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: into the snow, are you.

00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 3: Ah.

69
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: The problem with dumb boys is they don't get it.

70
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: That is the issue. It's better than a nice, innocent guy.

71
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 3: I know.

72
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,040

115
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 3: And I'm Brooke and that's what I'm calling to do

116
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 3: because wait, wrote in and she said she didn't know

117
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 3: how to tell you because she didn't want to hurt you.

118
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: Obviously this is going to hurt you. There's no way

119
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 2: around that. But it's just your guys' relationship has run

120
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 2: its course.

121
00:05:53,440 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: Wait a second, is a phone tap? I didn't say.

122
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he knows the show. You can't blame him

123
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: for that.

124
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 3: Listen, Shane, she told us all about the Christmas tree

125
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 3: and you getting too drunk at Christmas last year, and

126
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm gonna be honest, like her family not

127
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 3: a huge fan.

128
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: Wait, this isn't a joke.

129
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 2: No, it's not a joke, Buddy, I'm sorry.

130
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 4: So you're really doing this, Brook, You're breaking up with

131
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 4: me for her.

132
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 3: I think that she just thought it would be easier

133
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 3: for you if it came from somebody you trusted and loved.

134
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: You don't love me.

135
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 2: I don't mean that like I love love you. I

136
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 2: mean like like you're a fan of the show.

137
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: This isn't going well, Shane.

138
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 2: Breakups never go well, Jeff. It always ends bad.

139
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 3: It sucks for one person, and unfortunately that person is Shane.

140
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 3: And listen, Shane, you live it up through the holidays,

141
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 3: You drink as much eggnog.

142
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 2: As you want, and you go ahead.

143
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 3: And talk about their stupid family, dollar store, cheic tree

144
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 3: that they have.

145
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 2: You don't want to be part of that family anyway.

146
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 4: Okay, Well that great idea, Brooke.

147
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: You know what I'll do.

148
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 4: I'll do a drinking game where I take a shot

149
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 4: of time you call me, buddy, I.

150
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 5: Didn't know you because alienated.

151
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: Not one but two of our listeners will doing one

152
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: a favor. Wow, Shane, why too, you just crept on

153
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: Risha and her whole family.

154
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 3: I just say, Risha understands, like, if you're gonna get

155
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 3: over a breakup, yeah, there's anger.

156
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: Let's stop trying to justify our past behavior. Shane. I

157
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: am sorry that Brooke did this to you during the

158
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: holiday season. And I know this is probably weird to ask,

159
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: but hopefully Brook's still your favorite on the show.

160

Speaker 2: That don't ask that answer that shamee.

161
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: If she was, it was only because the other two

00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: are solo on the totem.

163
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,840

173
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: what you guys, Okay, I was mostly directed towards Brook.

174
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: I feel like that was definitely a tough one.

175
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: Well deserved. But are they ever gonna be good.

176
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: That's kind of your job to make it good.

177
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 2: It's not gonna happen.

178
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: To break up with them too, thank you.

179
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, thousand.

180
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: There is tough, but it is the holiday season. So

181
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: Brooke breaks you up for the holidays, and Brook also

182
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: gets you back together. That's why I have a surprise

183
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: for her coming up next. Two people are on the line.

184
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: One wants to get back together with the other.

185
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 2: No, Brook is going that's a good idea either.

186
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: What's happening, Brook is gonna get you back together for

187
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: the holidays. Coming up right after this, it's Brook and

188
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: Jeffrey in the morning. And if you were just listening

189
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes ago, you heard Brooke breaks you

190
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: up before Chris Smiths and you're not gonna believe this Brook.

191
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: But people on the text board weren't one hundred percent thrilled.

192
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 2: Oh shocking. Guess what, people who aren't happy.

193
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 3: I'm not either.

194
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: Oh it's not very nice to yell back at the

195
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: people who aren't happy. They're just giving us feedback. On

196
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: the show. One person even said, I need to tell

197
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: my therapist about what Brooke just did because that traumatized

198
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: me forever. And that's from your son Adler. But it's

199
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: good that he already has a therapist.

200
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 2: So well we started me on.

201
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: The thing is, we may have a chance for redemption

202
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: for you, Brook because now you have the opportunity to

203
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: bring two x's back together for the haliday. You do

204
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: not want to go over to today.

205
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 3: And that's not because the thing is is if I

206
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 3: failed this, then I'm an even bigger jerky. Wait, we

207
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 3: have two axes that already want to get back together,

208
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 3: or we have one ax who wants to get back together.

209
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: One guy wants you to help her get back together.

210
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 1: Jay is hoping that you can work some magic today.

211
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: He emailed the show looking for Brooks help. Let's punch

212
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: him up. Hey, Jay, welcome to Brooke gets you back

Speaker 4: Hey, how are you doing?

215
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 2: We don't have a lot of time here.

00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: did with the one.

223
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 2: The important back. I would really blow it if I called.

224
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: Her what's your ex's name?

225
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:37,080

Speaker 1: Okay, write it down, Brook, Okay. How long were you

00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 4: Three years?

230
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 2: Okay?

231
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 3: In those three years, what did you love about Jenna

232
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 3: and your relationship?

233
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 4: I love that she was a book reader, so she

234
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 4: was very knowledgeable.

235
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: Okay, she could read.

236
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 2: So what did you love about your relationship together?

237
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: She had a lot to talk about interest, chatty, Kathy,

238
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: go ahead, and.

239
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 4: Then she was supportive, honestly did everything for him.

240
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 3: Sweet.

241
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 2: This is also sweet. Actually, I want you guys to

242
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 2: be back together. Why did it end? This is what

243
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 2: I want to know.

244
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 4: Listen, I got really into watching European soccer, and since

245
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 4: they play in Europe, I'd be going to bars like

246
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 4: at like five in the morning to watch a match

247
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 4: to drink, and it just wasn't healthy.

248
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: She wasn't coming with you to the bars at five

249
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: am to.

250
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 2: Support you and your those games. I'm having a hard

251
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 2: time believing.

252
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 3: That she dumped you because you liked European soccer too much.

253
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 4: I didn't. I guess I didn't pay enough attention to her,

254
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 4: and so she broke up with me eight months ago.

255
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 2: Listen to that maturity, though, in the realization.

256
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: What's changed in the last eight months from then until now?

257
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I got back into the gym. I'm

258
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 4: even doing a book club because I know she loves books.

259
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 2: Oh wow, is so cute? Does this have to do

260
00:11:58,440 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 2: with the soccer season ending.

261
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 1: Or because we don't.

262
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 4: Honestly, I'm not a huge reader. But it's me showing

263
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 4: her that I want to talk to her more about

264
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 4: stuff and I want to do things that she likes.

265
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 2: Okay, and better yourself. I love this.

00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 2: Loved in your life. Oh wow.

320
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 3: And they realize that maybe in your relationship that you

321
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 3: had with them before, they didn't pay enough attention to you,

322
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 3: and they're really regretful of that.

323
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: Wait, is this Kenny, Well.

324
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 2: Technically it used to be Kenny.

325
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: Keny dead.

326
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 2: Listen listen, Kenny has a chance his personality.

327
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm literally saying that, because he is doing everything

328
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 3: in his power to show you and himself that he

329
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 3: is a new, improved person. Even he's gone so far

330
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 3: as to change his name. So Kenny Kenny is now

331
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 3: J and J is awesome. I am so confused. Why

332
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 3: would he do that.

333
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 2: He's a thoughtful guy.

334
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 3: I mean, he's gone so far as to not only

335
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 3: did he start a book club. But he remembered that

336
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 3: your favorite book, or one of your favorite books, was

337
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 3: The Great Gatsby. So that's why he chose the name Jay,

338
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 3: because that is a character who transforms in that book.

339
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 2: What is happening?

340
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 3: Are you serious? Yes, he likes you. He just wants

341
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 3: to try it one more time.

342
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: Can you say that higher, pitch Brook?

343
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 2: No, Kenny can though, j J tell.

344
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 4: Her, Yeah, I want you back a little.

345
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 2: More romantic than that.

346
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, honey, honey, this this is you know, I can't

Speaker 4: changes and I'll do anything for you.

350
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: He totally didn't read that out of a book, by

351
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: the way, that was from.

352

Speaker 4: I don't even know what to say right now.

354
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: Listen. I know this is probably really overwhelming, Jenna. We

355
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: kind of blindsided you with this with your ex boyfriend.

356
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 2: But no, I wantn't answer, Jess.

357
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,360

Speaker 1: to getting back with your new and improved ex Jay.

361
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,560

00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: your ex another shot?

Speaker 4: Well, I mean, he sounds like he's making really good

364
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 4: choices and that was the reason we broke up was

365
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 4: that he wasn't.

366
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 3: So the love never died.

367
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: Something they say a lot of it is timing, So

368
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: maybe this is the time.

369
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 3: Dude, He's ready, He's ready Christmas? Is I think I am?

Speaker 1: Well, congratulations, it sounds like you two is so cute.

372
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: You're gonna at least meet and see how it feels,

373
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: and if it works out, then one hundred percent of

374
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: the credit goes to Brook.

375
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:25,840

Speaker 3: Oh my god, you too are so cute that I

380
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 3: guarantee there's thousands of listeners texting their X right now,

381
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 3: which is not always a good idea.

382
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 4: Hey, would you mind call me by my new name?

383
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:48,240

Speaker 1: Okay, we better hang up with.

386
00:17:51,960 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 3: On the phone before we have more vowels and Jeffrey

387
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 3: in the morning, Well, another one in the bag.

388
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 2: That was Brook breaks you up.

389
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 3: And I have a lot of mixed feelings about this segment.

390
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 3: I don't love doing it often.

391
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I also think that, like, if you're not

392
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 2: meant to be with someone, you should break it off.

393
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 2: Like I hate when I've watched friends.

394
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 3: Stay in relationships that aren't going anywhere, and I'm like,

395
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 3: you're wasting your time, You're wasting your pretty move on.

396
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: She's gonna stop cheating on me after the fourth time?

397
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, promise, So you know, as sad as it can be,

398
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 3: I also think that it's usually for the best.

399
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 2: What do you prefer doing. Brook breaks you up or

400
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 2: Brook gets you back together?

401
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 1: I don't know. In the middle of the intimate.

402
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:51,439
