Speaker 1: You got your Second Date podcast, and today we've got
Speaker 1: a brand new say Yes to the X.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't do these too often, so I hope
Speaker 1: you enjoy the segment.
Speaker 3: Maybe a reason why we don't do them often, I guess.
Speaker 1: Yesterday's second date really resonated with a lot of people.
Speaker 1: That's the one where the girl had all the videos
Speaker 1: of the falling kids.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she thought that was really funny. That was her humor. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that was it. So what were people saying about it?
Speaker 3: We got we can't judge her. If you're listening to
Speaker 3: this show, you like people falling too, Yeah, yeah we are. Hey,
Speaker 3: women need to be more direct. Why do you just
Speaker 3: go up and ask for a guy's number? Okay?
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe if there was a video of her falling,
Speaker 1: she could have added it to her collection.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love.
Speaker 4: To have that in the chamber. Yeah, share with people like, oh,
Speaker 4: by the way, here's me too.
Speaker 3: But most everyone's on her side. Okay, what was funny?
Speaker 1: After we finished the second date with her yesterday, jose
Speaker 1: and I spent about ten minutes watching videos of kids falling.
Speaker 3: It's so good, Like literally, there's an Instagram page.
Speaker 4: It's easy to find. There's a seven Millie, You're not
Speaker 4: the only one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure. Well, hey, thanks for
Speaker 3: your comments always. We love the discussions.
Speaker 1: About these segments and keep them coming because we've got
Speaker 1: your brand new Say Yes to the X starting right now.
Speaker 2: When you look back on any failed relationship, there's always
Speaker 2: gonna be things you wish you had done differently. Yeah,
Speaker 2: like listened better, or taking them on more dates, or
Speaker 2: stopped calling them mommy.
Speaker 4: Trust me, we get it.
Speaker 2: But for one of our listeners, there's one particular night
Speaker 2: that he wishes he could do over because it ended
Speaker 2: with his girlfriend running out of the bar and out
Speaker 2: of his life for good.
Speaker 4: WHOA, we didn't cheat or.
Speaker 2: Anything like that, But he does fully regret his choices
Speaker 2: from that night, which is why he's asking for our
Speaker 2: help to get one more shot with the love of
Speaker 2: his life. It's a brand new Say Yes to the X,
Speaker 2: and we're gonna do it.
Speaker 4: Next.
Speaker 2: It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning, and it's time
Speaker 2: for another heart throttling edition of Say Yes to the X.
Speaker 2: Help one of our listeners reach out to an old
Speaker 2: fling to find out if maybe there's any residual flang
Speaker 2: left to be flung because you never know, and it's
Speaker 2: okay to wonder about your exes sometimes, Brook certainly does.
Speaker 2: The question is will they want to reconcile with you
Speaker 2: or just run away screaming?
Speaker 1: If you use that residual word, then it's going to
Speaker 1: be runaway screaming.
Speaker 4: Everybody likes to be flung every once in a while.
Speaker 2: And today we've got Evan on the phone hoping to
Speaker 2: get in touch with an old past relationship.
Speaker 4: Evan, you got some flang you want to try reflinging?
Speaker 5: Hey, yes, yes, I do.
Speaker 3: Answer.
Speaker 4: I like that answer.
Speaker 2: So tell us who is this X and just tell
Speaker 2: us about her and your relationship together.
Speaker 5: Well, it's my ex Abby.
Speaker 4: Abby. You are you really sad?
Speaker 3: I know I was gonna say, are you sad? Or
Speaker 3: you low energy? Right now? Maybe just nervous? You know
Speaker 3: sometimes that.
Speaker 2: Can be I'm sad actually, Oh, Bud, what happened with
Speaker 2: you and Abby?
Speaker 4: Tell us about your dynamic together?
Speaker 5: Well? I really miss her. I thought she was the
Speaker 5: love of my life.
Speaker 3: WHOA wow, Yeah that's.
Speaker 4: A tough feeling. Yeah, like you feel helpless.
Speaker 3: How long did you date for?
Speaker 5: Oh? We did about a year and a half. It
Speaker 5: was great.
Speaker 1: Honestly, I mean I get it, like it can feel
Speaker 1: that way, but then when you meet somebody else that
Speaker 1: feels the same as you, then you really know that's
Speaker 1: the one you should be with.
Speaker 4: Oh, Brooks talking about her exes again.
Speaker 3: Saying like it sucks. I get what you're going through.
Speaker 1: I've definitely felt like I was totally in love with
Speaker 1: someone and they didn't love me back.
Speaker 2: You know, Brook you know I'm in the room right
Speaker 2: This is kind of embarrassing for you.
Speaker 3: Definitely not.
Speaker 2: We have a lot of downer vibes going on right now.
Speaker 2: To tell us about some highlights from your relations with Abby.
Speaker 4: What were the good times?
Speaker 5: Like, Well, we met a couple of years ago at
Speaker 5: a dive bar trivia night. You know, we bonded over
Speaker 5: not knowing any of the answers, and we bonded like
Speaker 5: I felt so connected to her. Okay. I'm a big
Speaker 5: personality guy. I like doing loud jokes and goofy stunts okay,
Speaker 5: And honestly, I think she liked that in the beginning.
Speaker 3: Oh what changed? Why didn't she like it in the end?
Speaker 5: I know, like we have so many things. We had
Speaker 5: fun road trips, late night tackle bell runs, matching Halloween costumes.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, a.
Speaker 4: Lot of history there.
Speaker 2: And if you're just joining us, we're in the middle
Speaker 2: of a segment called Say Yes to the Ex. Our
Speaker 2: listener Evan is on the phone with us. He got
Speaker 2: broken up with it sounds like, yeah, it was a
Speaker 2: woman named Abby. So far, we've heard about what the
Speaker 2: relationship was like before the breakup, but let's get to
Speaker 2: was there a specific thing that ended your relationship?
Speaker 4: Like, tell us how that went down.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's so embarrassing, but I went to karaoke
Speaker 5: and I was proposing.
Speaker 4: So wait her, you were going to do a marriage proposal?
Speaker 5: Yeah? I mean I feel like a year and a
Speaker 5: half was time.
Speaker 3: Did she?
Speaker 1: I mean, had you guys talked about marriage? Did she
Speaker 1: see this coming?
Speaker 5: I was like, we danced around it at times.
Speaker 4: That's the issue, you know.
Speaker 3: Okay, so this was going to be a real surprise.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Right. I tried to sing Nickelback's how You Remind Me.
Speaker 4: Well, that's where you went wrong?
Speaker 2: Well that is that a special song between you two?
Speaker 2: Is there some history to that?
Speaker 5: No, but I changed the lyrics to make it sound
Speaker 5: like a proposal.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out how that would go, this
Speaker 2: is why you should marry me.
Speaker 1: Did she let you finished the whole song or did
Speaker 1: she cut you off and say no?
Speaker 2: Sorry, we don't mean to laugh about it. But I
Speaker 2: think we need help understanding how that scene went down.
Speaker 5: I thought it would be fun. She woke up mortified.
Speaker 1: You know, some people are really anti public proposals, like
Speaker 1: it feels like too much pressure to a lot of people.
Speaker 3: Oh, were you able to chase after her? What happened?
Speaker 5: Watch I'd call her and shin the voicemail. And the
Speaker 5: next day she texts me breaking up. Oh, in this
Speaker 5: long text saying I was always on, I did pranks
Speaker 5: the wrong time. She felt like super thing to stand
Speaker 5: up act.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, but would you change that?
Speaker 2: Has it changed in the past six months since you
Speaker 2: guys broke up?
Speaker 5: Absolutely the past six months. I've done the work. I
Speaker 5: can balance it now.
Speaker 4: Okay, So you backed away, but you still are you?
Speaker 3: Maybe better timing?
Speaker 5: Yeah right, I'm not over the top anymore.
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay.
Speaker 1: I could see if that was something already bothering her,
Speaker 1: and then you used a parody song to propose that
Speaker 1: it like just tipped it all over the.
Speaker 3: Gosh, what if we do a parody song to get
Speaker 3: her back.
Speaker 4: You can help.
Speaker 3: You're listening to.
Speaker 2: What she maybe she has grown over the past six
Speaker 2: months to enjoy more of it, and you're gonna meet
Speaker 2: right in the middle.
Speaker 4: Oh no, if he's not.
Speaker 1: Funny enough, I don't think it's a lack of humor.
Speaker 1: It's just the lack of sincerity. Maybe it sounds like
Speaker 1: she was missing.
Speaker 2: He sounds really sincere on the phone right now. Sure,
Speaker 2: And has there been any effort on your part, Evan
Speaker 2: lately to try and get a hold of her.
Speaker 5: Well, it seemed like she blocked me after a while.
Speaker 5: And you guys, really are my last hope?
Speaker 3: Are you just a little mad?
Speaker 1: Like you're that far into a relationship, you're proposing and
Speaker 1: then she only gives you a text and not even
Speaker 1: anything else, like you.
Speaker 5: You know, I felt that way in the beginning, But
Speaker 5: then thinking back to it, there's probably signs that she
Speaker 5: was trying to tell me and I just wasn't listening.
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, I love a self aware man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a very mature statement, almost too mature
Speaker 2: to be aired on our show, But we're going to
Speaker 2: keep it, and Evan, you.
Speaker 4: Know how this works.
Speaker 2: Our producer was able to get your ex girlfriend Abby
Speaker 2: on the phone. She is there right now. We told
Speaker 2: her someone is waiting on the other line wanting to
Speaker 2: talk to her. She just doesn't know that it's you yet, and.
Speaker 3: She doesn't know the name of the segment either.
Speaker 2: She hasn't heard any of this. When we come back,
Speaker 2: we are going to bring her on and tell her
Speaker 2: that it's you and find out if she is willing
Speaker 2: to maybe give you another chance and say yes to
Speaker 2: the X.
Speaker 3: Oh, she doesn't hang out on to a proposal this time, though.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's not my choice.
Speaker 5: I'm not sure.
Speaker 3: I didn't know.
Speaker 4: We're gonna find out when we do say yes to
Speaker 4: the X.
Speaker 2: Right after this, we're in the middle of a very
Speaker 2: special say Yes to the X.
Speaker 4: It's Brook and Jeffrey in the morning. Don't laugh so
Speaker 4: you can't play this song.
Speaker 2: I sure can because we're trying to help out our listener.
Speaker 2: Evan get in touch with his ex girlfriend Abby. And
Speaker 2: this one's a little different than ones we've done before
Speaker 2: because their breakup didn't happen over a petty fight or
Speaker 2: from cheating allegations.
Speaker 4: It happened while Evan was trying to.
Speaker 2: Propose to her via Nickelback parody song Okay oh Man,
Speaker 2: which didn't go the way Evan wanted. Instead, she stormed
Speaker 2: out of that karaoke bar and straight out of their
Speaker 2: relationship altogether.
Speaker 3: The next morning, broke up with it a long text.
Speaker 2: It's been six months since that night, and Evan has
Speaker 2: been desperately trying to fix it. We are his last resort,
Speaker 2: which always feels good when people.
Speaker 4: Tell us that, I would you play Papa Roaches last
Speaker 4: resort next?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: And even though you got basically rejected for your proposal, Elevan,
Speaker 2: I want you to know there is hope because Brook,
Speaker 2: how many times did you say no to your husband
Speaker 2: Michael's terrible proposals before you finally gave in and said yes?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 3: You only asked once.
Speaker 1: I always said one but but but, but you have to.
Speaker 4: Actually say it.
Speaker 1: Listen, what I think that we need to concentrate on
Speaker 1: is Evan. You sound like you heard what her problems
Speaker 1: were in the relationship and that you have tried to
Speaker 1: fix them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's big.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's what relationships are all about totally.
Speaker 4: But they're not actually in a relationship right now.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's the part we're He's.
Speaker 2: Trying to change himself into the man he thinks Abby
Speaker 2: wants him to be.
Speaker 3: No, just a better man.
Speaker 4: That's what I said.
Speaker 2: So, like you already know, Evan, your ex Abby is
Speaker 2: already on the line. Hasn't heard any of this. She
Speaker 2: does not know the reason that she has been brought
Speaker 2: onto the show yet.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, So.
Speaker 1: If she has a bad reaction, don't feel hopeless. I
Speaker 1: think we can come back from.
Speaker 5: That, all right.
Speaker 2: We get a lot of bad reactions when people find
Speaker 2: out they're on our show. So let us talk to
Speaker 2: her a little bit first, and then we'll let you
Speaker 2: come in and re swoop her off her feet all.
Speaker 5: Over again, I guess.
Speaker 2: So, okay, all right, try to keep your breathing a
Speaker 2: little bit quieter while we talked to her at the beginning.
Speaker 4: Yeah, don't interrupt us, Abby, there.
Speaker 6: Hi, Yeah, Hi, I'm here, he Abby.
Speaker 2: Thanks for being on with us. Welcome to Brook and
Speaker 2: Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so glad you decided to come on the show.
Speaker 6: Thanks for having me. But I'm a little confused, like
Speaker 6: why I'm here? Did I win something or no?
Speaker 3: Exactly.
Speaker 2: Well, we're gonna find out in just a second, because
Speaker 2: this is a segment that we do where we try
Speaker 2: to reconnect you with somebody important from your past. Okay,
Speaker 2: and you have four hundred guesses to try and figure.
Speaker 4: Out who that is.
Speaker 3: Hot or colder?
Speaker 6: Are you saying like a long lost.
Speaker 2: Friend or I guess in a way in some ways
Speaker 2: they may have been your best friend at some point,
Speaker 2: because we're talking about your recent past, only like six
Speaker 2: months ago. Because this is a segment, the name of
Speaker 2: it is called say Yes to the X, so that
Speaker 2: might give you a little hint of who I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: He didn't lead with the title because the O is
Speaker 1: what we were worried about.
Speaker 6: Yeah, wow, this is awkward. Okay. So did Evan talk
Speaker 6: to you?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: You do remember him dated a year and a half,
Speaker 2: but that's a.
Speaker 4: Good sign that you haven't forgot.
Speaker 2: About Yeah, well, we don't know that. I will tell
Speaker 2: you that we spoke to Evan a little bit. He
Speaker 2: seemed like a really nice guy.
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, I mean he was a really good guy.
Speaker 2: Okay, and equally bad at trivia as you are.
Speaker 6: That's actually funny. He would tell you that.
Speaker 1: We kind of went down memory lane a little bit
Speaker 1: with him on some of the highlights and most love memories.
Speaker 6: So do you guys think that's healthy? Like to have
Speaker 6: him blurred out on the radio, like all the stuff
Speaker 6: that happened before our breakup.
Speaker 3: He's probably not the word.
Speaker 2: We're not therapists, so we're not in any place to
Speaker 2: determine what is healthy or not healthy. But we do
Speaker 2: feel like there's a lot of feelings on Evan's side
Speaker 2: that are unresolved, and the reason that he reached out
Speaker 2: to us is he was wondering if maybe you might
Speaker 2: be feeling any of those same feelings. And before you
Speaker 2: even answer that, I should probably let you know that
Speaker 2: Evan is actually here himself on the phone wanting to
Speaker 2: talk to you directly.
Speaker 6: I mean, so I don't really have a choice, but okay, hi.
Speaker 5: Evan, Hey, how you doing.
Speaker 6: I don't know, to be honest with you, I'm just
Speaker 6: confused and a little shocked.
Speaker 5: I've been thinking about you. I miss you, and I'm honestly,
Speaker 5: I'm sorry it had to be in the radio.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that kind of sucks. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 3: We suck.
Speaker 2: No offense taken on our side, Just so you know,
Speaker 2: it's totally cool. It was.
Speaker 6: I didn't mean to offend anybody it's.
Speaker 3: Okay, it's okay, we're joke.
Speaker 4: It's okay, we'll cry later.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Evan hold of you. He said that maybe you
Speaker 3: had blocked him.
Speaker 6: I didn't block him. I just I just felt like
Speaker 6: space was good.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 2: Well, Evan's told us that you've had more than a
Speaker 2: few months of space during that time, and I'll let
Speaker 2: you know. He did not feel sorry for himself at all.
Speaker 2: In fact, he told us that he's learned to take
Speaker 2: some situations more seriously. But I mean, he could probably
Speaker 2: tell you better than me.
Speaker 5: Evan, Well, I really want you to know that I've
Speaker 5: done the work. I don't do armpit noises anymore. I
Speaker 5: still think I'm funny, but I can be serious though,
Speaker 5: and I think, no, I know you deserve a better
Speaker 5: version of me.
Speaker 6: Well, that's really sweet.
Speaker 5: I just wanted to let you know I might have
Speaker 5: taken a few things before this called to relax me.
Speaker 3: Wait is that a joke?
Speaker 5: No, No, it's not a joke.
Speaker 2: No wonder he's so even Keel, What do you take
Speaker 2: if you have any recommendations? Are stressed in this studio
Speaker 2: most of the day.
Speaker 6: Okay, I appreciate you, Evan being vulnerable. I really do,
Speaker 6: so I probably want to be vulnerable with you them. Yeah,
Speaker 6: there's something you should know about that night that you
Speaker 6: proposed to me at karaoke.
Speaker 4: Oh that doesn't sound ominous.
Speaker 5: What are you talking about.
Speaker 6: Well, when you started singing that song, it just triggered
Speaker 6: something in me, something I never brought up to be
Speaker 6: honest with you, but I actually stated one of the
Speaker 6: guys from nickelback a long time ago, and it was weird.
Speaker 6: But I couldn't have you propose with a song that
Speaker 6: obviously reminded me of my ex.
Speaker 4: This is how you funny.
Speaker 5: That's crazy, Evan.
Speaker 6: You Evan, you and I have talked so many times.
Speaker 6: I mean, you believe in signs too, and that that
Speaker 6: was a sign for me.
Speaker 3: I don't think that's fair. That's not fair to Evan.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know you think it's a sign, but
Speaker 1: what if it's not. What if it's just a coincidence
Speaker 1: in you?
Speaker 6: I know, but it just all kind of flooded me
Speaker 6: at the same time, you know, and I had been
Speaker 6: going back and forth in my head, like what should
Speaker 6: I do? Should I break this off? I wasn't really
Speaker 6: expecting a proposal that night, and then when it happens.
Speaker 6: I just shut down like a clam and yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 6: so you think.
Speaker 5: A Nickelback guy that's cool?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah you like that?
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, it's a real quick changing emotion there. We
Speaker 2: are running out of time though here and again. The
Speaker 2: reason that we do this segment called Say Yes to
Speaker 2: the X is to find out if you would be
Speaker 2: willing to, like, not even get back together with him,
Speaker 2: but just open up a future con station and meet
Speaker 2: up to see if there's anything still left between you two.
Speaker 5: I really like that. I don't think our story is over,
Speaker 5: so I'd like to go out with you so you
Speaker 5: can get to know the new me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me look how chill he is.
Speaker 6: I think it's a little weird for us to try again,
Speaker 6: But I mean I can do coffee. Oh but you
Speaker 6: have to ask the coffee shop please do not play Nickelback.
Speaker 6: I just I can't.
Speaker 2: It's a weird request to go up to the barista
Speaker 2: and be like, by the way, no Nickelback on their playlist.
Speaker 4: This guy looks too much like Chad Kroger. We're going
Speaker 4: to another coffee shop, okay.
Speaker 3: The bice is like, yeah, we got you covered.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds like she is saying maybe yes to
Speaker 2: the ex Evan, how does that sound to you?
Speaker 5: Sounds great?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: We got the door cracked open?
Speaker 6: Me was that I had.
Speaker 5: A joke with you a little to a.
Speaker 2: Minimum, please pit farting change yourself, bro, I gotta take
Speaker 2: more medication for that, but you do it, bro.
Speaker 3: Freaking Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if we can call that a
Speaker 2: successful say yes to the.
Speaker 3: X his little foot just in that door joke?
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 2: At least she would agree to a coffee meet up
Speaker 2: with him, and all it took was him drugging himself
Speaker 2: so he could completely change his personality and agree to
Speaker 2: never make jokes and never be with an earshot of
Speaker 2: a Nickelback song ever again, Just don't be him, and
Speaker 2: he's gonna have the greatest.
Speaker 6: Life, you guys.
Speaker 3: She wasn't saying don't ever make jokes. It's just better jokes.
Speaker 1: I hate a ballance they niffle back, though there was
Speaker 1: no balance in that.
Speaker 3: That sounded like it was pretty yes.
Speaker 2: Bad luck and he chose that and she used to
Speaker 2: date one of them. I mean, but who hasn't dated
Speaker 2: somebody from Nickelback. We're all guilty of that, so raising.
Speaker 1: Her handsome were multiple people from the band, so we
Speaker 1: give everybody grace for that.
Speaker 2: But if you ever want help getting back in touch
Speaker 2: with an X or somebody who's just dating you, you
Speaker 2: can always email The show will help you out.
Speaker 3: Just go to breakin Jeffrey dot com.
