Patrick emailed us and he just found out that a girl that he likes recently broke off her engagement, and now he's ready to pounce. What okay, engagement that's like a serious thing, that's not just she broke up with her boyfriend. What's up? Patrick? Hey? How are you doing? And whatever opens the door I will take with this girl. Okay, so there's a door open? How do you plan on jamming your way in there?

Oh god? Patrick? Well, let's just ask about the girl first. What's her name? Her name is April. Have you known April for a while? Yeah? We actually we went to high school together and she has always been the one that got away from me, and it just floats through my mind every so often. You know, did you guys have a relationship in high school? Then we came close, We went on a date and then immediately got awkward. Right afterwards, we were good friends and then it was done. Okay,

what was was the date awkward? Or well, the date didn't have to be awkward, but I just I couldn't get it together. I was so nervous. Oh no, but here's what we did. I knew that my dad was going to be able to prepare the best meal in the city, and I really wanted to impress her, so he actually made a menu of a advance. I invited her over. I gave April the menu a week before, and she was looking forward to it all week. Okay, so she knew that your dad was involved at this

date leading up to it, Yeah she did. I'm close with my parents, she'd met him before, you know, we were Okay, So this was in high school, right, correct? Yeah? Okay? And so you invited her over to your family's house for dinner. That's correct? Yeah? Cool? Sorry, it was a it. Guy was a little I was trying to figure out where you're if your dad at a restaurant or something. Okay, so you invited her over your family's house for dinner, and that was the date that you went on exactly.

That was the beginning of this evening that I had kind of like planned for us. Okay, So she came over and dinner went fantastic. It was so good. It was just the two of us. You know, my parents like left us alone and did the whole just being a chaft and waits out on a part. That's really cute. I know, it was adorable. And then afterwards, of course, I was like, I'm going to take her out to a movie. Okay, So we go out and we're actually gonna go see Night at the Museum. If you remember

that old old film film, that's right. It was really cool. I find out halfway through that she actually has already seen the movie. Oh. I was like, oh, you know, okay, uh, sorry, I'm wasting your time. I'm not really sure to do with this. And because she's like, no, no no, no, I'm having fun. This is wonderful. She's the only person in the country that saw Night at the Museum twice quite possibly, And she started throwing up signs left and right that

she wanted to escalate something. She just wanted something. She had her arms around my torso she was holding my hand when she got the chance, and I was so nervous I froze up. I didn't know how to handle it. I had struck a crush on her for so long. I couldn't make the move. Sweet awkward, Patrick, Yeah, so awkward. And afterwards I drive her back to her place and we're standing outside of her front door and she's looking at me, and I know what she's wanting to do. Yeah,

and I just couldn't do it. Yeah, Patricks, I couldn't kiss her. I couldn't do it. She looked at me. I mean, time passed. It was awkward. She just hugs me and says, I'll see you later and walked inside. Yeah. So, no wonder you got friend zoned. You did to yourself? Yeah, I really did. I crushed my own dreams. So wait, how long ago was this? This was ten years ago? Oh my gosh, And you're still that worked up about it.

It stays in your mind, you know. It's it's like the thing that never happened, that she always wanted it to be. So have you guys been talking over the last ten years? Are you just stalking her on Facebook? And that's how you know she broke off her engagement. I haven't kept up with her too much honestly, over the last ten years. She kind of stayed in the

hometown and I moved out. But a friend of mine recently actually told me about it and said, hey, do you remember this girl, and said you should try to reconnect with her. And I, honestly, I don't even know if she remembers me, but she probably remembers you. She probably remembers you as a dude who wouldn't make a move. Yeah, well,

the timid young man. Yes, yeah, all right, so you know that her engagement it was called off, and now you want to just call her up and ask her out totally, and so you think it's going to be cute that we do it in a second date update. Yeah, I mean, you guys are going to talk with her first. So if she doesn't remember me, I can just I can bail, I can just hang out and let it go. So we're your security blanket, is what we are. Patrick, You're still scared. How did you get her phone number? Anyway?

People hold on to the same phone number from high school. I know I still have the same way. Yeah, that's true, still the same, Yeah, I got lucky. You know it's still the same. Yeah. My buddy confirmed it. He pulled it up in his phone. It's the same number. Okay, okay, Well we'll play a song and then come back and call her and see if she remembers you, and then see if we can get you a date. I really hope this works. I actually do too. Yeah, me too

do No, not really, I don't really don't care. I just I just want to do the second part of the second date. So hang out, okay, okay, hang on looking jubil in the morning seconds. Everybody has the one that got away for me. I did this girl name Michelle in high school when on one date, all the signs were there, with my hand on her leg, where watching a movie everything. I never made a move, never kissed her, I got friend zoned, didn't talk to her after,

and I'll always remember her. Are you serious? That's so romantic? Yeah, it wasn't so much about the romance. Her dad was an execut at Paramount, and I thought maybe if we had a long relationship, I could somehow get into the movie industry. So that's what it was about for me. But then again, my first love is my career, and then I settled for radio, and now I'm at the bottom of the barrel. You could have been Matthew McConaughey

if I only would have kissed that girl. And Patrick is going through the same kind of thing right now. He's on the phone for a second date. Update. He went out with a girl named April in high school. He was too scared to make a move. Fast forward ten years later. He just found out that she ended her engagement, and he got her phone number and wants to call her and see if he can get an others shot at love. All right, Patrick, you're ready. I am so ready, Okay, And you heard through the grape

vine that she ended her engagement. I didn't even ask how long ago was that it was actually really recently, within the last couple of weeks. And I'm trying to pounce, well I can, yeah, Okay, So we may call her and she could still be crying. Hopefully that's not the case, and I can cheer her up, yeah, or hopefully she's crying the appropriate amount where she'll give you a chance. Yeah, She's like, I just need somebody to hang out with. Just feel so soon. However, you guys can make it happen.

I'm up for it, all right. Well, dialing her phon number right now here we go. Hello, Hey, is this April? Yeah, this is she April. How are you? This is Jewil from Brook and Jewel in the Morning. It's a radio show. Okay, how's it going. What is that well? Calling you today because one of our listeners actually sent us an email asking us if we can get in touch with you, isn't it Joe? Nope? His name is Patrick and apparently

you guys went on a date in high school. I know it's been probably about ten years since you guys talks. That's what he told us. But he wanted us to call you because he still thinks about you a lot. What huh is that? Like? Oh my god, that's so crazy I think about him? What or is that not that I'm processing? Okay, processing, I'm guessing you didn't expect this phone call. No, okay, so I'll tell you why we're calling. We do a segment on our show called

the Second Date Update. So if somebody goes out on a date with a person and then they end up getting blown off or not getting a call back. You can email us and we'll get that person on the phone and ask what happens. So technically there's a second date update from your first date ten years ago. Yeah. I'm shocked. Besides the fact that it's in a decade, I'm just shocked that he's reaching out about me. He

was so cute about you. He told us like the awkward story of your guys's date where he had his dad planned this dinner and he went over to his parents house. It was very sweet. What about Patrick, though, Did you actually enjoy going out with him? And were you interested in him? Oh? My god, I had the biggest crush on that kid. You did. Yes, He said that he always regrets not making a move because he feels like he screwed himself. Do you remember that moment

on the doorstep when he dropped you off. Yes, And I felt like an idiot because I was like practically throwing myself but he gave me nothing, So I just felt so rejected and WHOA, I don't know, I just I was. I tried to comfort myself by saying maybe he's gay. He must be gay, but I knew he wasn't. It didn't provide much comfort, and I just I am getting angry. Yeah okay, yeah, I mean that's what he said.

He said, you guys didn't really talk much after that. Well, no, I was humiliated, and I thought, like I wasn't gonna call him. Okay, you can understand now though, like that it's been ten years that he was just an awkward teenager. That was nervous, right. I think it's really endearing, especially you know, with the way the world is now, to know that he was so shy even you want to kiss me when he did, that's just really beyond sweet. Okay, Well,

you know what else is endearing. He's actually on the phone listening and wants to talk to you. Oh my god. Yeah but wait, aren't you excited? Patrigree? You there, hey, April? Oh my god, it's been a while. Hi Patrick? Yeah? Yeah? Wow? So yeah, okay, this is like beyond um do you guys need some help? Are you gonna work this one out together? It's just a conversation. I how have you been? Um? I've actually been better. Um. I I just broke up

an engagement. So your timing is uh, impeccable. Well, um, I'm really sorry to hear that that sucks, but I want to do what I couldn't do ten years ago. I want to at least get the chance to take you out. I'm sorry I couldn't do it ten years ago. I'm sorry that I fell short at the finish line. I really did. But um, it's weighed on my mind ever since, and I'm really hoping that you'll just give

me a second chance. Um. Well, this is hard for me. Um, just keep in mind, you know how we were really young back then, and we look the books, were attracted to each other, and nothing happened because we were both awkward teenagers. Right in mind, we're growing up now. But back then I didn't have the cognitive skills I have now. So I'm just gonna say it. Okay, Patrick, Okay, I was feeling so rejected by you and so angry. I there was that big party that Rob had, you know,

Rob was always having those big high school parties. Yeah, remember, Okay, So I went and I made out with your brother who you made out with? Who? Your brother Thomas? I was funk. I was stupid. I was mad at you for not kissing me. So you wouldn't kissed to look alike. Brother. You know, we were teenagers. There's a crowded house, and it was nothing serious, but you know, it was definitely a making out session, and I thought it made me feel worse. I'm so glad I have all the details.

I'm stoked about that. Thank you. Wait, of course I'm upset. That's really weird. I'm finding out about this at the same time that a lot of people are. But ten years ago. I mean, I can't believe he never told me, And I definitely can't believe you never told me. I was very immature. It was ten years ago. Second, when you're drunk, especially for the first time, I had no idea how low your inhibitions can go. April that I sorry. I'm still trying to get over my shock. I'm about that.

It's just kind of it's kind of weird, like it feels likes out all over again. It's it's kind of a double whammy over here. Well, yeah, but we were all kids, and I mean, it's not like I made out with your dad when he made dinner. Because did you consider making out with my dad? Valid question? Patrick? No, I mean he was old, but he was like a hot old where why would you? That's insane. That's my point, Patrick, You're missing the point. The point is that I like you,

but you didn't make the move. So I had to make some move and unfortunately fortunate whatever it was with your brother. Well, April, would you like to go out with Patrick again on a second date and see if maybe he can make a move? Then? Oh, man, I'm open to it because a lot of time has passed. I just feel better having told him everything because it's been weighing on me. So with that, I'm open to

possibility with him. Okay, hear that, Patrick, I hear it. Um. I feel like I'd be thinking about my brother the entire time. I'm not a good thing or a bad thing for you, valid question. It's a bad thing. It's a bad thing. Okay. So I got to know then you don't want to go out with April. I I can't do it, your brother, big deal? Like ten years ago, too, care are you doing? You were painting this beautiful love story and just this one little thing is going to

ruin it all. It was my brother, and Hugh lied to me about it, and then she lies me about it, and there's no way, I'm getting involved in that again. Oh wow, so you're still you're basically still in high school. I still can't get past it. Call it whatever you want, but I'm out. I did not expect that. Patrick. We can really have something together, and you're allowing us to miss the potential a second time. Look, I don't want my first kiss with you to be thinking about my

brother the whole time. The deal breaker for me. Yeah, all right, you're a loss. You chickened out for the second time. I'm making the first move your brother right now, right in the morning text end at seven eighty five to nine two that says get over. It was ten years ago. She's probably lost her virginity since then. Two man, no, stop it talking about today's second eight update and sproken jewil in the morning if you missed it, stud Patrick wanted to call a girl named April. They went out

ten years ago in high school. Yeah, he was really attracted to her. She was sending him all the right signals to give her a kiss, but he was too nervous, so he didn't do it. And that was really kind of the last time they hung out. Even and fast forward ten years later, she was engaged and then that engagement ended, so he heard all about it, and of course he pounced. Just like dudes too, they wait until someone's singling, they're like, hey me, And it was just

pretty new too. Anyway, we contacted her and she admitted that she was frustrated that he never made a move ten years ago, so she made out with his brother at a party out of revenge, not currently made out with his brother. It was like the same month basically. Yeah, at the time and in the end, she was willing to give Patrick another chance, but Patrick just couldn't get over the fact that she kissed his brother ten years ago. That is so weird to me. I mean, this guy,

he gets hung up on things. I think she dodged a bullet. Dude, I could live with a kiss, like if you know, maybe that didn't happen, that's saying. So I get why he's upset, but it was ten years not see her at Hopefully he's never talking to his brother again. Ether. Yeah, that's a good point. Destroy the family absolutely. If you're in your back, if you want to do a second day update, all you have to do his email the show and we will call the

person who didn't call you back. Moving ninety two point five
