0:00:08.520 --> 0:00:12.080
<v Speaker 1>do awkward Tuesday phone call, and then Thursdays is kind

0:00:12.080 --> 0:00:15.320
<v Speaker 1>of a grab bag, you know. Yeah, sometimes it's sexual healing.

0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes it's an update.

0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:19.040
<v Speaker 2>Updates, sometimes it's whatever our boss just feels like throwing

0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:20.040
<v Speaker 2>us into that day. Yeah.

0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but today is a closure call. And if you

<v Speaker 1>don't know how these work, someone will email us about

0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:32.440
<v Speaker 1>a relationship or a situationship that had a fallen out right,

0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:35.680
<v Speaker 1>and it's maybe been months, sometimes it's been years. We've

0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 1>had even decades where they haven't talked to each other.

0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:40.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and we're trying to get a higher fifty years,

0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:41.800
<v Speaker 3>one hundred years.

0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:45.760
<v Speaker 4>For us dramatic.

0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Well that first works with our producer to get back

0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:52.760
<v Speaker 1>into contact and ask the questions that they've been thinking

0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:53.479
<v Speaker 1>about forever.

0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:56.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you can hear the answer totally.

0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:58.400
<v Speaker 1>It can be pretty dramatic. And we've got one for

0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:00.800
<v Speaker 1>you today. Hey, thanks for in here. It's Brook and

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Jeffrey in the morning.

0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:04.520
<v Speaker 5>In a couple of minutes, we're gonna do a brand

0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:07.640
<v Speaker 5>new closure call. Here, which if you haven't heard, is

0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:10.720
<v Speaker 5>a segment where we help a listener send four questions

0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 5>to a previous friend or lover or someone they had

0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:16.560
<v Speaker 5>a falling out with to get some answers so that

0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:19.120
<v Speaker 5>they can finally move forward with their life.

0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:20.560
<v Speaker 1>It's a really amazing segment.

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:22.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, at least that's the hope that we're going

0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:23.160
<v Speaker 4>to help them.

0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:25.840
<v Speaker 5>But this may be the first time in the show's

0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:29.440
<v Speaker 5>history the listener doesn't even want to hear all of

0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:33.200
<v Speaker 5>the answers. After we read the first two it was

0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:39.600
<v Speaker 5>that shocking and surprising and embarrassing. All those emotions plus

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:42.480
<v Speaker 5>a few more tossed in for the mix, you're gonna

0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:45.119
<v Speaker 5>hear why when we do a brand new closure call

0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 5>right after this, it's Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.

0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:51.480
<v Speaker 5>And sometimes in order to move forward in life, yeah,

0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 5>first you have to look backwards.

0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:55.440
<v Speaker 1>That's true, jeff kind.

0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:58.960
<v Speaker 5>Of like a moonwalk in a way, looking back, but

0:01:59.160 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 5>moving forward.

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.600
<v Speaker 1>It a really cool Yeah.

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:05.040
<v Speaker 5>That's kind of the idea of this segment called closure Calls, where,

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:06.800
<v Speaker 5>if you haven't heard it before, we try to help

0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:10.120
<v Speaker 5>a listener get some answers and hopefully peace of mind

0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:10.840
<v Speaker 5>on an issue.

0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:12.760
<v Speaker 4>From their past that's been haunting them.

0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Some of these get really deep too. Yeah.

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:18.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, And recently, one of our listeners asked for our

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 5>assistance getting some closure.

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:21.440
<v Speaker 4>Her name is Jody.

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:23.239
<v Speaker 1>Keep wanting me to do this?

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 5>Heye, Jody wants to go full Michael Jackson today.

0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:28.640
<v Speaker 4>So, Jody, welcome to the show.

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:30.880
<v Speaker 6>Hey, thanks for having me.

0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Jody, we're all so interested in what brought you here?

0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:36.239
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, what's going on in your life that made you

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 4>reach out to us?

0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:42.400
<v Speaker 6>Okay, it's so strange. So, my husband and I used

0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:45.519
<v Speaker 6>to live in this amazing neighborhood. Absolutely loved it.

0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:46.919
<v Speaker 1>That's cool.

0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:51.680
<v Speaker 6>Yes, it was everything. And our next door neighbors, the Coopers,

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:54.760
<v Speaker 6>they were like our best friends, our families. We did

0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:58.280
<v Speaker 6>everything together. We had birthdays, barbecues, you know, we watched

0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:00.959
<v Speaker 6>the other's passively, went on vacation, everything broke.

0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:02.880
<v Speaker 4>How jealous are you of those neighbors.

0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:06.920
<v Speaker 1>No, I love my neighbors. I have the best neighbors.

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:10.639
<v Speaker 5>Honestly, you literally like have disputes with them all the time.

0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 5>You're trying to buy their property out from them.

0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:16.520
<v Speaker 1>You're talking about the guy with the abandoned cars right

0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:20.160
<v Speaker 1>next to me. Yeah, it's great to make granola.

0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:22.679
<v Speaker 3>She doesn't consider him a neighbor where she's like, oh, yeah,

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:23.120
<v Speaker 3>that's right.

0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.360
<v Speaker 1>I love that guy too. He's got two kids that

0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:30.080
<v Speaker 1>live about an hour. You want to know more about.

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:33.320
<v Speaker 5>Him, No, let's focus more on Jody and her neighbors,

0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:35.680
<v Speaker 5>the Coopers. It's nice to have a family next door

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 5>to you that you actually like.

0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, but here's where the twist comes, and it's unfortunate.

0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:48.840
<v Speaker 6>We basically our house burnt down. My gosh, yeah, absolutely everything.

0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 6>It was horrible.

0:03:49.920 --> 0:03:51.240
<v Speaker 4>I'm so sorry.

0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Wait was it the Coopers that did it?

0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:56.160
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:03:56.160 --> 0:04:00.280
<v Speaker 5>No, no, no, we're asking them why.

0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:04.280
<v Speaker 6>No, they were like, they were really supportive. Actually they

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:06.320
<v Speaker 6>helped us get through all of it. They helped us

0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 6>put our life back together. But yeah, we couldn't afford

0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:10.960
<v Speaker 6>to like stay and rebuild the house, so we were

0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 6>forced to move, which we really did not want to

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:15.880
<v Speaker 6>because again, just love where we lived.

0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Do you build all those relationships for so long, dude,

0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.440
<v Speaker 1>in all the memories and you know that's hard, that

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:22.400
<v Speaker 1>must be really hard.

0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.279
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it was awful. But we found a house like

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.880
<v Speaker 6>forty five minutes away from there, and you know, we

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:31.599
<v Speaker 6>had to do what we had to do. And we

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:34.640
<v Speaker 6>stayed in touch with them for a couple of months. Yeah, yeah,

0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:38.120
<v Speaker 6>and then one day they just stopped responding, like they

0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:41.280
<v Speaker 6>wouldn't answer any of my phone calls, they stopped inviting us.

0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:43.200
<v Speaker 1>Wait did their house burn down to.

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:47.960
<v Speaker 1>No, that's weird.

0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.560
<v Speaker 4>Sorry, who was setting all the fires? Sorry? What were

0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:52.320
<v Speaker 4>you saying? They stopped answering you.

0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:56.359
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, they stopped answering, like you know, I tried multiple times,

0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.039
<v Speaker 6>no explanation at all, you know, just completely cut off

0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:01.400
<v Speaker 6>communication and really for you and.

0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Your husband, like they have zero contact.

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.120
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, zero. It's so strange.

0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 5>That is really weird. What was going through your mind

0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 5>when that started happening?

0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:13.280
<v Speaker 6>We did not know. We went over this so many times,

0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:16.040
<v Speaker 6>and like I understand, like we don't live next door

0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:19.240
<v Speaker 6>to them anymore, but yeah, I mean, why why I

0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:20.679
<v Speaker 6>completely cut us out?

0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, like and they're still living there in that

0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:24.960
<v Speaker 1>same neighborhood and everything.

0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.240
<v Speaker 6>Okay, So I was curious. I was like, well, maybe

0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.960
<v Speaker 6>they moved, you know, like, yes, maybe something happened to them.

0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:31.719
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:35.120
<v Speaker 6>So I think a year and a half after I

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:37.640
<v Speaker 6>decided to drive back, you know, to see if they

0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:40.160
<v Speaker 6>even still live there, and I didn't bring the doorbell

0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:42.280
<v Speaker 6>or anything, but their car was in the driveway.

0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:47.840
<v Speaker 5>Okay, so they're still around in the same house at least,

0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:51.400
<v Speaker 5>but for some reason totally cut all communication with your family.

0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it's so strange. And it's been over four years,

0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.120
<v Speaker 6>and the thing is is that I still think about it,

0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:58.960
<v Speaker 6>like I just wish we could get some of that

0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 6>old friendship that you know. Yeah, it would be really

0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:05.240
<v Speaker 6>great to reconnect our children again and all that, but

0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:07.680
<v Speaker 6>it's just something that like lingers in my mind.

0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god. Well, and like even for me, like

0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:11.560
<v Speaker 1>I grew up in the same house my whole life,

0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:14.320
<v Speaker 1>and our neighbors growing up are like second family.

0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:14.839
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean honestly, you guys.

0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:17.120
<v Speaker 4>Marry each other too.

0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:23.200
<v Speaker 5>But is there any like drama between your families in

0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:25.840
<v Speaker 5>that time or something fight or maybe an affair that

0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:30.800
<v Speaker 5>you had with someone casually drop that one something like that.

0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:31.599
<v Speaker 6>No?

0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:34.400
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely no, okay, at least not that you're gonna admit to.

0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay, do you think your kid may have done something? Like,

0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:41.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, because sometimes like if kids fight or it

0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:43.520
<v Speaker 1>can cause parents to fight.

0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:45.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, like the kid will be like, well my mom

0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:47.120
<v Speaker 3>said this, and it's like playing telephone.

0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:50.960
<v Speaker 6>They I mean, sure, that's the possibility. It's one of

0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:53.760
<v Speaker 6>those things where like we have as a family all

0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.360
<v Speaker 6>sat down multiple times at dinner and talked about this,

0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 6>like he does anyone have any idea of why it's happening?

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:02.760
<v Speaker 1>And everyone's no, Yeah, why do the Coopers hate you?

0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.520
<v Speaker 3>I would say, maybe they and this is gonna come

0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:08.040
<v Speaker 3>out wrong, so I apologize. Maybe they think they're better

0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:10.480
<v Speaker 3>than you, like we don't talk to them because they

0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:12.440
<v Speaker 3>moved out of the neighborhood. But then I go, you've

0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:14.760
<v Speaker 3>known them for so long you would know if they

0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:15.800
<v Speaker 3>were shallow white.

0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.040
<v Speaker 1>See I was saying in the opposite where maybe they're jealous.

0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:21.600
<v Speaker 1>Maybe your new situation is that they they always wanted,

0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:23.360
<v Speaker 1>probably not on status.

0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:24.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean, they just moved.

0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:24.840
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:26.720
<v Speaker 5>Brook won't talk to us because of where we live.

0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:29.360
<v Speaker 5>Sometimes we're not allowed over on her fancy island. Yeah,

0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:32.239
<v Speaker 5>but Joe, do you know how this works. You've already

0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.240
<v Speaker 5>worked with our producer to come with the four questions,

0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:37.240
<v Speaker 5>and we've told you the Coopers have responded, Oh my god,

0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:40.880
<v Speaker 5>are you nervous about hearing from them?

0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 4>After how long has it.

0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:45.240
<v Speaker 6>Been now it's been over four years.

0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:47.000
<v Speaker 4>Wow, are you nervous.

0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:49.840
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I'm I'm curious more than anything.

0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:52.920
<v Speaker 1>It seems like this could be something resolved. I mean,

0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:56.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe if they explain then their you two can come

0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.760
<v Speaker 1>to some understanding and rebuild this friendship.

0:07:59.040 --> 0:07:59.720
<v Speaker 4>I agree with Broke.

0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:01.680
<v Speaker 3>I do think if it was one of the kids, especially,

0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.000
<v Speaker 3>it's like yeah, no, no, nos, misunderstanding.

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, just get rid of that kid and then everything's happen.

0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:07.400
<v Speaker 4>So we're gonna do it.

0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:09.920
<v Speaker 5>We'll read the answers from your neighbors that ghosted your

0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:13.200
<v Speaker 5>family five years ago when we do your closure call.

0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.280
<v Speaker 4>Right after this just joining us.

0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:18.600
<v Speaker 5>We're in the middle of a closure call, and it's

0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:20.400
<v Speaker 5>an interesting one because I don't know if we've ever

0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:23.720
<v Speaker 5>done anything quite like this before with two sets of

0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:27.280
<v Speaker 5>neighbors whose families were very close. And our listener, Jody,

0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:29.440
<v Speaker 5>who's on the phone with us, is the mother of

0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:33.880
<v Speaker 5>one family. Her house sadly burned down years ago, so they.

0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:35.000
<v Speaker 4>Had to move away.

0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:38.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, forty five minutes from where they originally lived. Shortly

0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:41.920
<v Speaker 5>after they lost all contact with this other family who

0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 5>used to basically be their best friends.

0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:46.680
<v Speaker 1>It's not like, yeah, moved even to a different state.

0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:50.560
<v Speaker 1>You're like forty five it's not that not that dramatic,

0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:51.040
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know.

0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:53.120
<v Speaker 3>I'd say, when my parents only lived forty five minutes away,

0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:53.840
<v Speaker 3>I never saw.

0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:56.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, they were away.

0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.439
<v Speaker 5>But it's been very confusing for Jody because she doesn't

0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:03.120
<v Speaker 5>know why they cut off all contact and want some closure,

0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:05.320
<v Speaker 5>hence the term closure call.

0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:07.640
<v Speaker 4>Oh wow.

0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:12.079
<v Speaker 5>For this joke, and Jody, I know you want to

0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.160
<v Speaker 5>get to the answers. We're gonna get those in just

0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:15.920
<v Speaker 5>a second. Brook Do you have any final thoughts?

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:18.360
<v Speaker 1>No, I think it's just interesting. You know, you said

0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:21.320
<v Speaker 1>these people were really there for you after your house fire,

0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:24.160
<v Speaker 1>so I mean, I could see them turning their back

0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.000
<v Speaker 1>on you if you needed help, but that that's not

0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:28.960
<v Speaker 1>even the case here. You know they did that for you.

0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:32.040
<v Speaker 6>It sounds like, right, yeah, they were great.

0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:34.079
<v Speaker 1>So strange.

0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:36.560
<v Speaker 5>Well, if your new house burns down, you can always

0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:38.199
<v Speaker 5>live in the basement of Brooks Current.

0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh sure, my husband works down there, so just don't mind, Tim,

0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:44.040
<v Speaker 1>We'll always have a backup. Yeah.

0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:45.760
<v Speaker 4>Alright, So let's get to the first question.

0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:50.000
<v Speaker 5>Okay, we wrote it's been almost five years since we

0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.800
<v Speaker 5>spoke to each other. That's so long, and I've tried

0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:56.080
<v Speaker 5>to text you and send you letters and birthday invites,

0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:59.760
<v Speaker 5>but you never responded. Our friendship was so important to me.

0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:02.920
<v Speaker 5>It makes me so sad that we don't speak anymore.

0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:06.040
<v Speaker 5>Do you even still live at the same house?

0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Wait, don't we know that because you did the secret

0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:09.400
<v Speaker 1>drive by.

0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:11.840
<v Speaker 6>I mean that was three years ago though, so I

0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:12.960
<v Speaker 6>mean she could have moved.

0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:15.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, that's true.

0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:20.160
<v Speaker 5>So the coopers responded and they said, hi, Jody, nice

0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:23.400
<v Speaker 5>to hear from you. Yes, we're still at the same address.

0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:27.599
<v Speaker 5>Kids are getting bigger, hope you were well oh.

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:30.120
<v Speaker 6>Wow, okay, yeah, I don't know.

0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:32.880
<v Speaker 1>It did feel like when you get the text K

0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:34.760
<v Speaker 1>that a felt the same.

0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:38.080
<v Speaker 3>I'mnowledged, but I'm not really how do you feel how

0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:39.320
<v Speaker 3>do you feel about that answer?

0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Exactly?

0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:44.080
<v Speaker 6>Well, I mean it's it doesn't really say much. I

0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:46.240
<v Speaker 6>was saying I felt so sad that we weren't in

0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:48.720
<v Speaker 6>touch anymore, and they gave me like a one sentence

0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:50.280
<v Speaker 6>nothing response, you.

0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:52.040
<v Speaker 4>Know, trying to blow you off.

0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:53.920
<v Speaker 1>I like how you were saying you were so sad

0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:55.440
<v Speaker 1>in the question, and she's like glad.

0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:58.840
<v Speaker 5>You're well yeah, so yeah, not much of a response

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.800
<v Speaker 5>on that first one, but good thing we asked more questions.

0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Because they did respond to the rest of the questions.

0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:07.079
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and this isn't an auto reply. They're all different.

0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:08.840
<v Speaker 5>Just so you know, it's so funny.

0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:11.600
<v Speaker 4>Just like she said, I am out of the office.

0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Do we know who's actually writing us? Is it the

0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:16.760
<v Speaker 1>other mother from the other family.

0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:17.400
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:19.600
<v Speaker 5>It doesn't say on it. Okay, all right, let's keep

0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:22.320
<v Speaker 5>going to question two. Hopefully we'll get a little bit

0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:26.400
<v Speaker 5>more clarification. We said, after being so close for so long,

0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.920
<v Speaker 5>it's always been confusing to me why you stopped responding

0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:32.720
<v Speaker 5>to us. I've spent nights trying to figure this out.

0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:36.440
<v Speaker 5>I'm not sure if something happened or what changed. Is

0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:38.360
<v Speaker 5>there a reason you cut us out?

0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:40.280
<v Speaker 3>This is only the second question.

0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:41.240
<v Speaker 4>That's like the.

0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 3>Question in my head.

0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.800
<v Speaker 6>I'm so interested to see how they're gonna respond.

0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:48.360
<v Speaker 5>You know, this is the crux of what we're trying

0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:49.480
<v Speaker 5>to get to here, and.

0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:52.559
<v Speaker 1>You and our producer wrote that question really well. I'm

0:11:52.600 --> 0:11:55.400
<v Speaker 1>serious because he helps her with all of this. I

0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:58.560
<v Speaker 1>think it's really well written. Yeah, why you laughed?

0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:01.520
<v Speaker 3>Be serious because our producers a funny guy, so I

0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:02.400
<v Speaker 3>thought you were making a joke.

0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:05.439
<v Speaker 5>No, So let's get to the answer that they wrote.

0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:09.600
<v Speaker 5>Back for the reason that they cut you out. They wrote, well,

0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:11.200
<v Speaker 5>it's pretty simple, Jodie.

0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:13.040
<v Speaker 4>Oh, we donated.

0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:15.640
<v Speaker 5>Two thousand dollars to your family's go fundme with the

0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:19.480
<v Speaker 5>expectation it would go towards building your life back, not

0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:24.760
<v Speaker 5>building your chest size. Apparently one of the neighbors said,

0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:27.480
<v Speaker 5>you got a breast enhancement after your house burned down.

0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:31.120
<v Speaker 5>Plus your family took a trip to the Bahamas. So

0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:34.680
<v Speaker 5>I think you could understand why we're not speaking dot

0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:35.440
<v Speaker 5>dot dot.

0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:37.360
<v Speaker 4>That looks so bad.

0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:44.880
<v Speaker 6>Oh whoa, Oh, okay, look, this is what I can

0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:48.480
<v Speaker 6>say about that. I was going through a lot at

0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:52.040
<v Speaker 6>the time. Yeah, and doing that made me feel better

0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:55.000
<v Speaker 6>about myself and it did help me build my life back.

0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:56.160
<v Speaker 6>It gave me confidence.

0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.599
<v Speaker 1>You use the GoFundMe money to do a breast and

0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:01.079
<v Speaker 1>new monthly payments.

0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:03.880
<v Speaker 4>Maybe she didn't do it all at once. I mean

0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:05.040
<v Speaker 4>we did.

0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:09.800
<v Speaker 6>I don't. I don't really want to like get into

0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:11.720
<v Speaker 6>this really like, but.

0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.280
<v Speaker 1>That's the whole it's the whole reason she's not talking

0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:14.480
<v Speaker 1>to you.

0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:16.400
<v Speaker 2>A trip to the Bahamas. Are we gonna ignore that?

0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:16.720
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, you got to show off your new books so

0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:21.960
<v Speaker 1>much it gets cold.

0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:24.440
<v Speaker 5>Out the Coopers are accusing you of taking the money

0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:26.600
<v Speaker 5>that they gave you to like rebuild your new life

0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:28.720
<v Speaker 5>in your new house for personal things.

0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Well not just them my bed. I mean, if it's

0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:32.960
<v Speaker 1>a GoFundMe, probably other people's money too.

0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:37.000
<v Speaker 6>We used a majority of the GoFundMe to get our

0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:37.520
<v Speaker 6>new house.

0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:41.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, what did you use the insurance money to get

0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:42.280
<v Speaker 1>a new house?

0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:45.120
<v Speaker 6>That went into it? It was very expensive getting a new

0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:47.960
<v Speaker 6>I mean we literally lost every single thing. Yeah, it's

0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:50.959
<v Speaker 6>like we did deserve a trip to Like my kids

0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:52.280
<v Speaker 6>were so devastated.

0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:54.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, if it makes you smile, it makes you happy,

0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:57.000
<v Speaker 5>I guess it's worth buildings stuff.

0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:58.959
<v Speaker 1>Ask after this because we had no idea.

0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:01.280
<v Speaker 4>Running out of time, we need to move on to

0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:02.200
<v Speaker 4>question three.

0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:04.440
<v Speaker 6>You know what, I honestly don't think we need to.

0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:08.960
<v Speaker 6>I think, like I'm thinking, okay, the same Jeff.

0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:10.080
<v Speaker 3>I was like, I don't know if we should be

0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:10.440
<v Speaker 3>on the phone.

0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:12.360
<v Speaker 4>Sorry, but this is how it works. We go through

0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:14.640
<v Speaker 4>all four. So I'm just gonna go to the third question.

0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:18.559
<v Speaker 5>Let's finish the segment. For everybody listening that tuned in,

0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:21.880
<v Speaker 5>it says question three. I'm not sure if you heard,

0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:23.880
<v Speaker 5>but I left my nine to five job, and I'm

0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:26.720
<v Speaker 5>now working with a charity to help raise money to

0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:30.320
<v Speaker 5>support teachers around the country. You've always been so generous.

0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:32.640
<v Speaker 5>I'm hoping you'd consider contributing to.

0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Question. Are you joking?

0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:40.640
<v Speaker 6>I just jody, Yeah, but that is my job now.

0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:42.560
<v Speaker 6>And I didn't know that she was gonna say what

0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:45.760
<v Speaker 6>she just said.

0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Girl, Well you used fun race. No.

0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:52.640
<v Speaker 6>I was just trying to give him an update on

0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:53.960
<v Speaker 6>my life and what I was doing.

0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:58.920
<v Speaker 5>Okay, I mean working with charity is a really good

0:14:58.960 --> 0:14:59.560
<v Speaker 5>noble cause.

0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:01.440
<v Speaker 4>If it actually he does go to the charity.

0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Maybe sending teachers to the Bahamas.

0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:05.960
<v Speaker 4>Surgery.

0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:08.680
<v Speaker 5>Well, let's hear what the Coopers wrote back to that

0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:12.920
<v Speaker 5>ask for money for your charity. They said, as stated before,

0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:17.000
<v Speaker 5>I hope you're well, Yeah, but you know we will

0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:20.920
<v Speaker 5>not be contributing to your quote charity or any future endeavors.

0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:22.280
<v Speaker 4>Now we see why.

0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:24.360
<v Speaker 5>The first I hope you're well felt bad, and now

0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:26.280
<v Speaker 5>I understand what you didn't want us to read questions

0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:26.520
