Second date date. One of our listeners wrote in for a second date saying he hasn't seen or even spoken to this person for over a decade. WHOA, wait, ten years? That's what a decade is? Yes, good job. I'm sorry that's shocking. I needed to confirm the length of time. I don't know why. Hopefully he hasn't been in jail or something, but if he has, maybe he has a good reason. So let's just ask, Adam, what were you in for? I was not in the Slammer promise Okay.

That sounds like what people in the Slammer save that talk slam the people who have been in it. That's how you know he hasn't been in I'm pretty sure that no one in the Slammer called it the Slammer. So I think I just authenticated myself. Are we dealing with someone you went out with ten years ago? This is somebody that I knew from high school and she

was the popular girl that everybody liked. I was decidedly not okay, okay, okay, And so it was just one of those things where like I just really had a crush on her from Afar and her name was Taylor. That's such a popular girl name Taylor. Yeah. Basically it was one of the situations where she was dating a guy from another high school who had a cool car and did to kill him. That's why you ended up in jail. Never met him really, but no, as far

as I know, he's totally finely. Uh. We had problem in the after party, and somehow me and a few other people ended up all in the same hotel room. And you know, we're drinking, smearing off ice and having a good time. Chola throwing a jolly rancher at the bottom of the bottle. Why not, you know, watermelon goes a long way. And Taylor was in this hotel room

with you. Yeah, and like somehow we're like sitting on the couch and I first didn't even really know who I was, Like, she didn't know we went to the same school. It was like awkward at first. She's one of those nicest popular girls, which then I'm like, I'm Adam, and I know who you are. And we had like

a really good time. And at the end she goes, you know, I wish we had gotten to know each other sooner, and I like some help pull out this, Like, well, there's no time like the president, So let's hang out after now that we're out of high school. And she was like, oh, yeah, I definitely should. Okay, Like, if it wasn't for oh my boyfriend's downstairs were going to the other after party the other saying, I just don't really know what would have happened. And so that was

just in my head for the last ten years. WHOA okay, and I have since been a person in the world and everything is fine. And I'm guessing your voice has gotten much deeper since then as well. It has gotten much deeper since Yeah, okay, so you like to hang out his Zacne's gotten better. His voice has gotten deeper. So how has Taylor come back into your life since ten years ago? Well, as we were talking about decades, it was our ten year reunion, that's right, okay, right,

and you you saw her there. I take it. I couldn't go because I had a work thing. So I am catching her with a friend of mine who also went to high school, and he was at the reunion and everyone's there, and apparently she was talking about me with some of her friends at the reunion. What really she was like, Adam something something something. I had no idea what probably exactly that Adam something something, So apparently she had said Adam and she said my last name,

which I'm not going to say right now. I'm just thinking I'm on the radio, right, But I mean, it doesn't matter. It's a common name. Right. It sounds like you're just excited that the popular girl finally knows who you were. Yes, exactly, that's crazy, Like what what was your reaction when you heard that she asked about you at the high school reunion? Total silence this whole time. I'm like, so, you had this moment with her ten

years ago. She probably doesn't even remember me, nobody feels whatever, and yet somehow she's talking about me. And so I found her on Instagram the way people do. Okay, And is she single? Can you tell? Honestly, I couldn't really tell. Those pictures of friends and dogs and things like that, but there's no like photos in a wedding gown. None. Cool? Okay,

then it's still fair game. She could believe be engaged, there'd be a photo until she says I do, and and honestly, either way, I would still just be like, hey, so you were talking about true you want to know why or something I did, and I haven't heard back at all. Huh. So I reached out to my friend of a friend of all the people who were there, and I was basically kind of white lie, being like, maybe we'll have like a reunion reunion, you know, like let's all get together on a bar. So, well, it's

good that she asked about you. That it's not weird, like, oh she was asking about me? Can I get her number? Right? You just don't want to call or text her on your own, like it feels like a lot. Yeah. Serious, Well I kind of did already once after the DM didn't happen. Oh you said her a text? Yeah? And how that? Bro? Look, it's been ten years. I think I'm reverting back to high school mentality here. I don't have any like to stand on with her, and so

maybe you could hoist me up. She didn't write you back at all, she didn't hit you back nothing. Well, you're our fris, so worry. Yeah, I know we're gonna pop some smearing off ice and studio. Right, Yeah, we're gonna play a song. We'll come back, We'll call Taylor for you, and we'll try and get you your second date update. All right, All awesome. Thank you guys over the first time. Yeah go koalas, we'll do it after

this second date. It's a second date ten years in the making that never really had a first date, unless he count the prom night after party, where Adam and his crushed Taylor both had smearknof ices and hung out on a hotel couch with an average amount of bedbugs not too much, not too little, so it was the perfect night until Taylor's hunky boyfriend showed up and whisked

her away. Now they said that they would hang out after graduation happened, which they didn't, but Adam heard from his buddies that she mentioned his name at their ten year high school reunion not too long ago, saying that she wished he was there, and now it's time that we reach out and say, yeah, he's here and the A train wants to party a sizzle. Your high school nickname was I didn't have any nicknames like that. My buddies just called me hip Pisars. Yeah, I think that

had something to do with it. For did you did you have a certain smell in high school? How? She? I mean, we all had a certain school some more me we got you b yeah, let's do this. Just know if she doesn't want to talk to your hang out with you. There's nothing lost here. Okay, yeah, all right, I just want you to look. I appreciate it. I'm with you. I just want to see what the story is here because I'm no longer Pitts. Yeah. Okay, that's right.

You bottomed out in high school. It's all up from here, right, exactly right, thank you. Okay, let's dial Taylor and ask why she was talking about you at the high school reunion. This is so high school right now? Will you call her for me? And maybe we should just pass her note right now? Hello is this Taylor? Uh? Yeah, Hey Taylor, Taylor. You're on the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning right now with Jeffrey Brook and the morning shows. Yeah, okay, welcome.

Why that's a great question, Taylor. The answer to that question is we're doing something called a second Date update. And I mean it doesn't really apply to her, but it's where we found you. Right. It's usually a segment where we help our listeners reconnect with people after they've gone out on a date and they're getting ghosted. Um. I mean I like familiar with that, but I have not been on a date in a very long time. So oh, okay, well, so this is actually from a

long time ago. You might remember hanging out with Adam one night after a school event with a big group of your friends in a hotel. Okay, Um, hold on, backed up? What wait? What is going on here? Is

taking it down a trip of memor lane. Yeah, it's kind of a long story, but I can basically summarize it like this, Um, Adam did not go to your high school reunion, but he got in contact with us because he said he's always had a little bit of a crush on you, and he heard from a friend that was there that you were talking about him at the reunion, yeah, saying you wish that he attended. Okay, wait a second, Adam, what is his last name? His email says Adam. We can bleep that part out, but

that's not possible. What do you mean what's not possible is he reached out to us. Um that that absolutely cannot be happening because Adam is dead. Excuse me? What? Yeah? No, he admits he wasn't always great with the ladies, but yeah, he does have Are you thinking of someone else? From your high school, like a common name. What makes you think he's dead? Look, guys, this is like not funny. I mean, it was like a big deal when he passed away. Like, oh, okay, well, no, we're We're not

trying to joke. We just got to figure this out because I don't want to shock you, Taylor, But there is an Adam on the other line. He doesn't sound dead to me. Yes, he wants to talk to you. Adam. Um, hey, are you lying about who you are? No? No, this is Adam from my school. Okay, look, guys, Like whatever is going on right now, it's really not a funny joke because okay, okay, I think I can clear this up.

I'm happening, Yeah, what's happening. Yeah, look, I'm embarrassed about this, but I'm remembering now that there was another Adam who had the same last name as me. I think it's just a guy that was on the football team. Yeah, he was like a big football star. He played in college, and like when he died, it was like really sad. Now you're I feel like I kind of making a joke about it, And no, I really I am so sorry.

That's not at all I didn't realize that. I just thought that we shared a smearenof ice ten years ago is unpopular, Adam. Yeah, do you remember, Adam, thank you for the the hotel room after prom? You guys had smirnoff ices together. I mean, I drank a lot of smirnoff ice back then. So I think I think I think we all did right. And so look, I thought that at the reunion you were talking about I thought you were talking about me. Yeah, And so that's why

I sort of tried to reach out. Um. I don't know if it's any consolation, but this Adam is alive and interested in you curious right now? Like I mean, are you for real? I have like very little recollection, Like now you're kind of mentioning it. Yeah, it's kind of bringing some bells. But you think, like, just because you have the same name of a popular guy that passed away, that you should just like get me on

the radio and ask me to hang out. And I'm just like, yeah, let's go people, yes for very less. I don't think you should be insulted like he had no idea that you were talking about the other guy one and two. He's just saying nice things about you, that you were cool, and that he felt a connection with you, Okay, ten years ago. Ten years ago, Like, yeah, who can a little weird like he's been harboring some

type of feelings for ten years. It sound creepy. Yeah, that's not the vibe that we got from him when we talked to him. The only reason that he reached the only reason that he reached out to us is because he heard you mention his name, or at least the guy that had his same name. There's like many ways that he could have like contacted me that like didn't involve the radio. I mean like Facebook, Twitter, Like there's so many ways to like kind of like try

to reach out. I had actually DMed your Instagram account and I never heard back. That's a very popular guy move, by the way, to go dms on instat Oh my god. I mean I had some weird stuff come at me on Tinder, but I've never had been like pulled onto the radio. Look, I apologize for that, but here we are, and I'm just I just didn't know if there was a miss connection, so to speak. So I just figured why not ask? And I'm realized that I'm you were not talking about me and that I was wrong, So

totally get that. All I'm suggesting is maybe that we could have a smear enough ice in person, and if you are interested, then we would pay for that date. Arry sounds like a great guy. He made a great plea right there. Whatever, I look like a little uncomfortable right now, Like it's just a lot of kind of process, Like I'm not trying to be rude, Like I don't

really remember Adam it all right. I think everybody's feeling a little awkward, a little cringey right now because we did not know anything about the situation with you and your other classmate. But at least we know that you both have a common interest here, Taylor, you're mourning the loss of your friend Adam, and Adam you have the same name as Adam. Yea, if we hold on, what if we offered to send you out together so you could both pay your respects to him? Oh my god, man,

this is the way to propose it? Is that not a good idea? I mean just the way you're saying it, trying to find anything that connects the two. Yeah, that's stronger and like they went to the high school together. I'm just saying get together and remember him. I'm going I just want it, so please, no pressure. You don't need to decide now. I'm just saying, please don't comment. I mean you do sound genuine and like maybe we can reconnect or even just like get to know each

other for like the first time, like as adults. Okay, Okay, that's positive. I just say that we should end it right now. With jeff not saying anything else, there we go. I mean, I hope that we like didn't have him dig his own grave here by. I'm just saying, you know, life goes on, or does it? Yeah? Yeah, good luck you guys. Yeah, we'll see you on the other side.

And Jeffrey in the morning. It's funny. After that call, we talked to Taylor off the air, and she told her she wasn't even that close to the guy who passed away. What's that funny? She could still be sad about it. I'm I'm saying, you could be sad about it, but she hasn't seen him in over ten years. Are you just trying to feel better about your bad jokes that you told? That's what it feels like to me, Well, like it was just such a serious second date update.

I thought I should try adding a little levity to lighten the mood, but maybe maybe Doug his own grave to be fair, wasn't the best choice of words. Yeah, I can admit that you did cry. I I'm sorry for trying. I promise I will never try again. I think timing part of that, definitely. Okay, Well I can't read either, so thank you. She was just confused that the guy with the same name was trying to get with her and that caused a really awkward call. Yeah, totally. Yeah,

I mean I think the whole thing. I thought it was weird that we were calling her to begin with it, if I'm going to be completely honest. Well, it still looks like they might be hanging out again, though, so we'll see. Maybe this call. Probably not. But you know what, if you want us to ruin a relationship with you and people from your past, we'll do a second date update and ruin all your relationship. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning
