Speaker 4: Thing every day.
Speaker 2: That's a good point, O.
Speaker 1: My brain was moving faster than my life. The closure call,
Speaker 1: we get a brand new one for you today. And
Speaker 1: that's when someone just writes into our show and works
Speaker 1: with our producer to come up with four questions, sometimes
Speaker 1: five questions, to ask somebody from their past who they
Speaker 1: don't have any contact with anymore. Closure, Yeah, to finally
Speaker 1: get that closure. So we got one coming up for
Speaker 1: you in just a second. But first comments, Anthony Amato.
Speaker 2: Said, yeay, my daily fix.

Speaker 5: addiction I need.
Speaker 2: I don't imagine.
Speaker 4: We start the segment.
Speaker 2: A couple of minutes later, he's like shaking in his car.
Speaker 1: He's like, I've never done drugs, but man, I'm sure
Speaker 1: this is what it feels like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, welcome to it. You got to closure call.
Speaker 2: It's start right now.
Speaker 4: If you had a chance to go back and say
Speaker 4: something to the one got away, what would that be
Speaker 4: because we're gonna do that right now.
Speaker 2: We're calling all of our got away.
Speaker 4: So Brooke, go ahead. You could tell me whatever it
Speaker 4: is that you've been dying to tell me all these years.
Speaker 1: It's not you, jeff Brook's too scared.
Speaker 4: She's too scared to come out with. But one of
Speaker 4: our listeners isn't She says, twelve years ago things suddenly
Speaker 4: ended with the man of her dreams, and not a
Speaker 4: day has gone by where she doesn't wonder what happened
Speaker 4: to him? Wow, is there any chance that he's been
Speaker 4: doing the same thing as she has? We're gonna find
Speaker 4: out in a brand new closure call coming up right
Speaker 4: after this. It's Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning, and
Speaker 4: we do this from time to time whenever we get
Speaker 4: requests for it. It's a special segment we have called the
Speaker 4: closure call.
Speaker 2: Oh a minute since we've done one of these.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Normally, it's like an awkward situation happened between friends
Speaker 4: or family members that left more questions than answers, right,
Speaker 4: And we're willing to step in on your behalf to
Speaker 4: try to track down that person from your past and
Speaker 4: hopefully get you a little bit of closure that you
Speaker 4: need in order to move on with your life and
Speaker 4: just feel better about where you are.
Speaker 2: I love this segment. I think it's so fascinating.
Speaker 4: It is very interesting. It doesn't always go well great, but.
Speaker 2: Well that's just kind of on par with the rest
Speaker 2: of our show.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's just how closure works. And today our listener
Speaker 4: Ashley is on the line. Apparently her situation involves an
Speaker 4: old boyfriend from her past who could possibly be married
Speaker 4: to Brooke. Now hopefully that's not the case, but let's
Speaker 4: find out from Ashley. Ashley, welcome to the show. Hey,
Speaker 4: I don't have a lot of girlfriends.
Speaker 2: Brooke, he had some girlfriends. Yeah, he's a cute guy.
Speaker 1: I mean he better have had some girlfriends. I definitely
Speaker 1: I do not want to have been as first that will.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, thank goodness, Ashley. I apologize on behalf of
Speaker 4: the rest of my host here.
Speaker 1: But I was just gonna say, if she is my
Speaker 1: husband's ex, I was going to thank her for the
Speaker 1: hard work prior to me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're making it strange, Ashley. Thank you for being
Speaker 4: on the show with us.
Speaker 6: Here, You're welcome. So I was hoping you guys could
Speaker 6: actually help me out because this situation has been bothering
Speaker 6: me for a really really long time, Okay, And basically,
Speaker 6: like I've been dating for probably like almost twenty years now.
Speaker 6: You know, I wanted the whole marriage and a family,
Speaker 6: you know, the white pick of sense, and for whatever reason,
Speaker 6: I really don't know why, but it's just never happened
Speaker 6: for me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's going to tell you why it
Speaker 4: didn't happen for all because is his name, Michael.
Speaker 6: Let's just go out the way, Daniel. His name is Danny.
Speaker 6: But like, you know, I've been trying for so long,
Speaker 6: but there was this one memorable relationship from about twelve
Speaker 6: years ago and it's like still on my mind and
Speaker 6: I just want to know what happened.
Speaker 1: And like, okay, okay, slow down, you were talking so fast.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like this Daniel, he's like the one
Speaker 1: that got away? Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 6: Kind of? But it was a really weird situation, like
Speaker 6: we started dating and we became boyfriend and girlfriend, but
Speaker 6: it was like a long distance relationship type of thing
Speaker 6: where we don't get to see each other like once
Speaker 6: a month. Unfortunately.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's kind of every guy's dream and it's not
Speaker 4: ideal for like a healthy loving relationship, but it does
Speaker 4: work sometimes.
Speaker 6: But it was pretty serious stuff, Like it wasn't like
Speaker 6: I was just going to his apartment, Like he was
Speaker 6: taking on some like the most amazing vacations like I've
Speaker 6: ever been on, all around the world, like the Caribbean, Italy, French, Polynesia,
Speaker 6: and like when we work together, he would tell me
Speaker 6: gifts and like roses and noting how much he missed
Speaker 6: me and blah blah blah.
Speaker 4: Blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: Get me the presence. I'm kidding.
Speaker 4: Okay, So clearly this was a stronger connection than just
Speaker 4: like a long distance fling. He seems like he really
Speaker 4: cared for you.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I thought so, because he was investing a lot
Speaker 6: of time, after energy, you know, finances like everything.
Speaker 1: Okay, at that point, were you thinking, like, man, I
Speaker 1: could move and be with him?
Speaker 6: I was like, Oh my god, is this my ever person?
Speaker 6: Because up until this point I felt like I was
Speaker 6: living in a fantasy land, Like why would you break up?
Speaker 4: Sounds like an awesome relationship?
Speaker 5: Well, I hate t hease the word love bombing, but
Speaker 5: it sounds like a classic explosion.
Speaker 6: Well, it definitely wasn't my choice, but like one day,
Speaker 6: he reached out to me and he was like, listen,
Speaker 6: I have a friend. She's a girl who's going to
Speaker 6: be in town for the week. She needs a place
Speaker 6: to stay, and I'm gonna let her crash at my place.
Speaker 6: So I was like, what the hell? I was obviously
Speaker 6: feeling insecure about that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well, especially if it's a friend you had
Speaker 1: never heard of before, right, Like he was a true friend.
Speaker 2: It would have been someone that you already knew.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like Sarah, I've always told you about they
Speaker 4: won college best Friend. Okay, but since you didn't know
Speaker 4: this girl, you were feeling uneasy about some random woman
Speaker 4: staying with your boyfriend for an entire week. I mean,
Speaker 4: we ever could see that like a little bit, Alexis,
Speaker 4: you wouldn't care like a boyfriend of yours did that though, Right,
Speaker 4: that'd be fine for you.
Speaker 5: Well, if I get a vacation out of it, I mean,
Speaker 5: next week he takes me to feed you, you can
Speaker 5: look it out.
Speaker 2: I will say.
Speaker 1: It's interesting a guy that can afford all these like
Speaker 1: luxury vacations and he can't afford to get a hotel
Speaker 1: room for his friends.
Speaker 2: Yep, that's a good that's a red point right.
Speaker 6: There and anyway, So one day I called him after
Speaker 6: work and I was asking him what was going on,
Speaker 6: and he said, well, she's going to be here for
Speaker 6: longer than a week. She's kind of down on her look,
Speaker 6: And of course I was super confused, like my emotions
Speaker 6: are boiling over. I'm furious. It's triggering me like right now,
Speaker 6: like I'm still not about it.
Speaker 2: We can tell.
Speaker 4: So I didn't even date you, and I'm already scared.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, did this lead to a big fight?
Speaker 6: Ended up like hanging up the phone, And then I
Speaker 6: sent him like a three page text like explaining my
Speaker 6: feelings and he called him later and he's like, nothing's happening,
Speaker 6: and I'm like, yeah, but this isn't making me feel good,
Speaker 6: Like what about my feeling?
Speaker 4: Oh wow?
Speaker 2: So all of it is because it is huge, right.
Speaker 4: So what happened after your three page long text message?
Speaker 6: Well, it obviously didn't go well and he ended up
Speaker 6: blocking me. WHOA, yeah, So I don't know. I thought
Speaker 6: like hoping he would come down, but I never saw
Speaker 6: or I never heard from him like ever again ever again?
Speaker 4: Do you have any idea like are you able to
Speaker 4: follow his social media or anything like that, and like
Speaker 4: figure out what happened.
Speaker 6: I can't find him, Like, I think he's got me
Speaker 6: blocked on everything that feels me. I looked and I've searched,
Speaker 6: and I just there's nothing.
Speaker 5: Did your three page texts get kind of nasty to
Speaker 5: him to get blocked?
Speaker 6: I mean, like I was mad, I was super hurt.
Speaker 1: I mean he sounds kind of emotionally immature too, Like,
Speaker 1: no matter how mad you are, you don't block your
Speaker 1: significant other.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So, actually your email said that you wanted us to
Speaker 4: try and track this guy Dan down and send him
Speaker 4: a few questions so that you could figure out what's
Speaker 4: happened in the last twelve years because you haven't been
Speaker 4: able to talk to him at all.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I want to know, like what happened back then,
Speaker 6: like why did he stop talking to me?
Speaker 1: Okay, but I also think we might need to prepare
Speaker 1: for the possibility that he might not even remember this
Speaker 1: at all.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4: If he doesn't remember, that would hurt. At least that
Speaker 4: would be closure, Brooke, I.
Speaker 3: Will yeah, I would be like, who are you even
Speaker 3: talking about now?
Speaker 4: Well, you've already worked on the four questions with our
Speaker 4: producer that you wanted to send to him, and Daniel
Speaker 4: your ex did respond, so just not applicable, not applicable. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I remember he gave real answers to each and every
Speaker 4: one of your questions. Are you ready to hear them? Ashley?
Speaker 6: I am, oh right, Okay.
Speaker 4: Well you're gonna have to wait because person need to
Speaker 4: play a song and then we'll come back and we
Speaker 4: will continue, hopefully give you the closure that you need
Speaker 4: with your closure call coming up right after this. If
Speaker 4: you just joining us, we're trying to answer a question
Speaker 4: that's been bugging our listener, Ashley for the past decade plus.
Speaker 4: She's wondering, like many of us have, whatever happened to
Speaker 4: my hunky, rich doctor ex boyfriend who used to take
Speaker 4: me on vacations all over the world.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was also long distance. I think that's really
Speaker 1: important to know.
Speaker 4: Yes, because they did have kind of a weird falling
Speaker 4: out where he had a female friend stay with him
Speaker 4: at his place. Meanwhile, Ashley, who was long distance, felt
Speaker 4: insecure about a strange, beautiful woman sleeping over multiple nights.
Speaker 1: She doesn't even know if the woman ever left became
Speaker 1: locked her, she could be there right now.
Speaker 4: According to him, they were just friends. Uh, we don't
Speaker 4: know what what happened, but it starts. The insecurity came
Speaker 4: out in a scathing, three page long text message that
Speaker 4: Ashley sent, which went completely unanswered and has unanswered for
Speaker 4: the past twelve years. Yea, and Ashley, I know this
Speaker 4: is all sounding very fresh for you. Still just hearing
Speaker 4: the emotion come out and your voice in the first part.
Speaker 4: I mean, clearly this guy meant a lot to you.
Speaker 6: Yeah he did. I'm I was serious. I was so hurt.
Speaker 6: I mean like I'm still hurt. Like, yeah, I really
Speaker 6: want answers.
Speaker 4: Yeah. So that's a lot. But it has been twelve
Speaker 4: years and people can change a huge amount in that time.
Speaker 4: Just look at Brooke in her outfits out.
Speaker 2: I guess twelve years ago I was wearing skinny jeans.
Speaker 6: Oh y, but the.
Speaker 4: Beanie and glasses have always stayed true. True somethings don't change.
Speaker 4: But let's find out. Because you know how this works.
Speaker 4: You worked with our producer to come up with four
Speaker 4: questions that you wanted Daniel to answer.
Speaker 2: Man signed Jeff.
Speaker 4: Daniel has responded to each one of them. Let's hopefully
Speaker 4: get you some closure and start with the first question here.
Speaker 4: So question one. You said, Hey, Daniel, I'm sorry I'm
Speaker 4: going through the radio to do this, but you blocked
Speaker 4: my number years ago and didn't responded to my text,
Speaker 4: and I never knew why. Moved on by now and
Speaker 4: are hopefully happy with your life. I just want to
Speaker 4: let you know I still have fond memories of our
Speaker 4: time together.
Speaker 2: But how is this question?
Speaker 4: Yes, I know it's long, but you know these are
Speaker 4: the emotions to.
Speaker 6: Make sure he was open.
Speaker 5: You know what I mean your page text remember, yeah,
Speaker 5: this is short for her style.
Speaker 4: Okay, so she says, hopefully you did too. I'm just
Speaker 4: sad how it ended.
Speaker 2: So there is no question there yet. Interesting what did
Speaker 2: he say?
Speaker 4: So he responded to that with wow, I did not
Speaker 4: expect this. That was so long ago, and absolutely it
Speaker 4: was a great time in both of our lives. What
Speaker 4: I think it's a good thing you're saying I had
Speaker 4: fun too.
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm surprised that he said that they were
Speaker 6: great time with the how things ended in everything. Well, okay,
Speaker 6: is there is there more?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I haven't finished. I'll address that part. It says, honestly,
Speaker 4: that text message, I don't remember what was in it,
Speaker 4: but it was really long.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, free text when you were mad and.
Speaker 4: I just felt like I didn't know how to make
Speaker 4: things right and it was easier to just not deal
Speaker 4: with it. I assumed that you had moved on with
Speaker 4: your life too and forgot all about me. I'd love
Speaker 4: to get an update on you.
Speaker 6: Yay, why no way? Oh my god?
Speaker 2: Are you shocked to how casual his response is.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I don't know if I'm happy. I'm you need
Speaker 6: to look it in a smile on my face right now.
Speaker 6: I think I need the rest of the answers though,
Speaker 6: before I get too excited about this though.
Speaker 1: Okay, but were the next three just praising him again
Speaker 1: and how much we miss him?
Speaker 4: Let's find out. Let's go to the second question, which
Speaker 4: was so okay. So currently, I'm thirty eight, in single,
Speaker 4: no kids, no marriages, and when I look back on
Speaker 4: my dating life, I think about that time that we had.
Speaker 4: You were always one of the kindest, most generous people
Speaker 4: I'd ever met, and I just wish that I had
Speaker 4: the courage back then to fight harder for you. Oh
Speaker 4: it's my biggest regret. Wow, you had no question, She's
Speaker 4: just put out there.
Speaker 6: Well, I felt like if this was you know my
Speaker 6: only chance to get answers, I should like really be honest.
Speaker 4: Okay, let's see what Daniel wrote back. He wrote, that
Speaker 4: is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.
Speaker 4: Please don't beat yourself up about this. Life just kind
Speaker 4: of happens. I also wish I had the courage to
Speaker 4: do something more back then, but I'm not very good
Speaker 4: with confrontation.
Speaker 2: Oh, obviously he keeps going.
Speaker 4: Funny enough, I was married but it didn't last, and
Speaker 4: now I'm actually single too.
Speaker 6: No way, so wait, wait, wait was he married to
Speaker 6: the girl that was there?
Speaker 4: That is not made clear. He didn't make that a question.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you, Alexis.
Speaker 6: I thought that would sound like way too jealous to
Speaker 6: go and say that.
Speaker 1: Actually, your whole story was throwing up cheeter red flats
Speaker 1: left and right.
Speaker 2: I didn't want to say anything.
Speaker 4: But now that we're in it, well, the bottom line
Speaker 4: is he was married but it didn't work out, so
Speaker 4: he's single now. Okay, that's the part that I think
Speaker 4: we should be focusing on.
Speaker 6: I mean, it makes me feel a little bit weird
Speaker 6: if like he did choose her over me, like that
Speaker 6: was kind of like rude.
Speaker 2: And not would like hurt me, but he dumped her too,
Speaker 2: so she dumped him either way.
Speaker 1: Dude, what's the third question, Jeffrey, give us something good here? Brook.
Speaker 4: I like that you're assuming that it's a question which
Speaker 4: we haven't gotten in the first two. But there's hope here.
Speaker 4: Remember we send all of these prompts all at once,
Speaker 4: so Ashley didn't hear any of these responses. First.
Speaker 1: What we've learned so far is she got blocked because
Speaker 1: he didn't want to deal with it.
Speaker 5: Eddie's single if she wants him bad basically, So let's.
Speaker 4: See how this goes. Question number three, I miss you
Speaker 4: so again. I don't know if you're married, divorced, or
Speaker 4: whatever the case is, but I'm being vulnerable here and
Speaker 4: saying if you're not in a relationship, I'd be lying
Speaker 4: if I didn't admit there's still a spark in my
Speaker 4: heart for you. Woo. There's a question next. What she says,
Speaker 4: would you even consider the idea of us meeting up
Speaker 4: again some time?
Speaker 2: Yay, let's go, Ashley.
Speaker 4: You put it out there.
Speaker 6: I'm embarrassed now, nosed.
Speaker 2: That's what you're supposed to do.
Speaker 1: Twelve years you've been thinking about this, twelve years you
Speaker 1: knew exactly what you wanted to say.
Speaker 4: You were brave enough to at least throw it out there.
Speaker 4: So what a Daniel respond with?
Speaker 2: He said, Oh, don't disappoint her, Jeff.
Speaker 4: I would love to. He keeps going, although I do
Speaker 4: have to wait a few months because I'm currently wearing
Speaker 4: an ankle monitor and legally cannot leave my house.
Speaker 2: Hey, girl, he got that money somehow.
Speaker 4: He keeps going. I won't get into it now, but
Speaker 4: if you Google search you might see it.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 4: Some publications are calling me Doctor Noddy for things I
Speaker 4: shouldn't have done, but I want you to know most
Speaker 4: of those instances are untrue. Why wait, and now that
Speaker 4: my wife has left me, it would feel really good
Speaker 4: to have someone in my corner. Could you come over,
Speaker 4: preferably in the next two weeks before my house forecloses.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I mean, hey, good news and bad news.
Speaker 6: Oh, that's bad. That's bad. I don't want to date
Speaker 6: a criminals. It sounds like she just wants me because
Speaker 6: he's bored in.
Speaker 4: An alleged alleged criminal. Whatever Doctor Noddy happens and still
Speaker 4: single just.
Speaker 6: Sounds really messy. I mean, I'm definitely gonna google and
Speaker 6: look because I'm curious.
Speaker 3: Now, Okay, I searching doctor Noddy would get a lot
Speaker 3: of results.
Speaker 1: Actually, I don't think you're gonna find tax evasion when you.
Speaker 2: Get a nickname like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you gotta do the Google search yourself.
Speaker 6: Though.
Speaker 4: We're running out of time, but we still have one
Speaker 4: more question. You shared a fond memory with him, you said,
Speaker 4: I just wanted to tell you I'll never forget that summer.
Speaker 4: We went to the Caribbean and we stayed at the
Speaker 4: Ritz Carlton. It was the most luxurious and romantic moment
Speaker 4: of my life. I still look back at the photos sometimes.
Speaker 4: And who knows dot dot dot You never know what
Speaker 4: the future might hold. A license, Does he still have money?
Speaker 1: We don't know that.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't leave the country, you guys.
Speaker 6: He can't leave the house until he gets closed on,
Speaker 6: so he's going to be.
Speaker 2: Forced to leave.
Speaker 4: He could be broken. Daniel clears things up. He says, well,
Speaker 4: actually I do know I'm not allowed to travel outside
Speaker 4: of the US for the next decade decade pending litigation.
Speaker 4: And I remember how much I spent on that trip.
Speaker 4: Depending on how you're doing, I would love to get
Speaker 4: reimbursed for your half legal bills are astronomicals, and then
Speaker 4: he did a wide eyes emoji.
Speaker 1: Block him, block it away, No, no way on.
Speaker 4: Half of the reimbursement. Maybe just a quarter would be
Speaker 4: enough for him.
Speaker 6: So I need to be completely honest, no way on him,
Speaker 6: Like I mean, I'm really glad that he responded, because
Speaker 6: now I can like move on with my life and
Speaker 6: put this behind me. But like, no, what the hell
Speaker 6: like hotness express, I don't want to deal with this.
Speaker 4: No, but think on the bright side, you could make
Speaker 4: a ton of money with a tell all book called
Speaker 4: I Dated Doctor Noddy, The True Story of What Really happened.
Speaker 6: Oh my god, I'd buy it.
Speaker 4: I'm customer number one. So you come out with that
Speaker 4: and we'll be here for you. That was your closure call.
Speaker 4: It's brooken Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 6: It's brooken Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 4: Man, it felt like we were this close to a
Speaker 4: true happily ever after love story with this. Think about it,
Speaker 4: we do four questions. If we had just stopped after
Speaker 4: question number two, they could have been together.
Speaker 2: That would have been a good thing for her.
Speaker 3: Jeff Oh, yeah, South after number two, I don't know,
Speaker 3: it could have been just like the Notebook where Rachel
Speaker 3: McAdams comes back and Ryan Gosling's working on the house
Speaker 3: wearing his ankle monitor asking her to pay the rest
Speaker 3: of the money that he owes.
Speaker 1: We were this close, and it's sad he's working on
Speaker 1: the house since he's gonna lose it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's still sweet that the thought has gone into me,
Speaker 4: you know, making all the repairs.
Speaker 1: I think it's a good lesson on how sometimes our
Speaker 1: memories don't serve us right on who the people really
Speaker 1: were that we were with.
Speaker 4: Yeah, or the people change a lot in a short
Speaker 4: amount of time that's possible.
Speaker 2: To decade was long time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it raavaged that doctors, but totally. If you ever
