Closure Call: Ex Best-Zila

Brooke Fox (0:00)

Ooh, you're in for a treat today. It's Brooke and Jeffrey, and thank you for finding the Second Date Podcast, the official one.

Jeffrey Dubow (0:04)

Oh yeah.

Brooke Fox (0:05)

We appreciate it. Today, you know, every Thursday, we do something a little different. Sometimes it's an update update, awkward Thursdays, who knows?

Jeffrey Dubow (0:12)

Blind love is.

Brooke Fox (0:13)

But today, if you've never heard a closure call, that's where someone has fallen out with somebody in their past that was really important to them. And our producer actually works with our listener to come up with a set of questions.

Then our producer tracks down that person. Sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's hard. Today wasn't that difficult.

Alexis Fuller (0:33)

No.

Brooke Fox (0:36)

And then they just send them the questions and have them right back. So it's pretty fascinating. And today, we've got a really crazy one to meet.

Alexis Fuller (0:46)

Some Bridezilla drama.

Jeffrey Dubow (0:48)

Yeah, Bridezilla drama for sure.

Brooke Fox (0:50)

So that's coming up in just a second. But first, we've got comments.

Alexis Fuller (0:54)

Yeah, Bowden Meyer said, long time listener from Idaho, I listen every day on the drive home, much to my coworker Logan's misery. He wants 80s country, I want Brooke and Jeffrey. Logan has lost this battle.

Brooke Fox (1:07)

That's right.

Alexis Fuller (1:08)

Take that, Logan.

Brooke Fox (1:09)

I was born in the 80s in Idaho. That country has nothing to do with us, okay?

I don't know. Just trying to stick up for Bowden.

Alexis Fuller (1:16)

Yeah.

Brooke Fox (1:17)

But you're doing a good job, Bowden.

Alexis Fuller (1:18)

All right. Here we go.

Brooke Fox (1:20)

Brand new closure call starts right now.

Jose Bolanos (1:22)

On a scale of 1 to 10, what number would you give to the worst brideszilla you've ever personally been around?

Brooke Fox (1:30)

Pretty high.

Jose Bolanos (1:32)

Well, whoever it is that you're picturing in your head right now, tell them to take a seat because one woman has kept a secret for the last six years from her entire bridal party that could explain why she immediately cut contact with all of them the day after her wedding.

Brooke Fox (1:51)

Yo!

Jose Bolanos (1:52)

It's shocking, but the truth is finally going to come out live here in a brand new closure call right after this. They say sometimes when you're stressed, you take it out on the people you love the most.

Brooke Fox (2:06)

Ain't that the truth?

Jose Bolanos (2:06)

Yeah, I can see that. That's why Brooke's two stuffed animals are so disheveled. They've had to absorb years of backlash from Brooke's personal life.

Brooke Fox (2:16)

That poor glow worm. Yeah, the pound puppy, where do you think it got its name?

Jose Bolanos (2:20)

Oh, yeah, it was in the puppy before she bought it. But one of our listeners is worried she's been absorbing the backlash for a close friend of hers.

And she isn't really sure why. That's why she's reaching out for a closure call with us today, where we can track down someone for you and try to get you the answers to the questions that have been burning in your mind for so long. And that's the case for today's listener, Gina. So Gina, welcome to the show.

Jeffrey Dubow (2:45)

Hi, everybody. Thanks for trying to help me out here.

Brooke Fox (2:48)

Yeah.

I mean, I don't know. In my opinion, losing a boyfriend is like that happens. But losing a friend is like life shattering. Yeah.

Jeffrey Dubow (2:58)

It's the worst.

Jose Bolanos (2:59)

It's so what's the deal with you and your friend? How did this all start?

Jeffrey Dubow (3:03)

Yeah. So I was in her wedding.

Oh, it's not six years ago. Yeah. Yeah. So we were really close. Yeah. Yeah.

Brooke Fox (3:10)

What's her name, by the way?

Jose Bolanos (3:14)

Yeah. You were in Catherine's wedding?

Jeffrey Dubow (3:17)

Yes. And her wedding night, after the reception and everything, that was actually the last time I ever saw her.

Brooke Fox (3:24)

What?

Jeffrey Dubow (3:25)

Whoa. Okay.

Jose Bolanos (3:27)

Did you do something at the wedding? Like, get too drunk or something?

Jeffrey Dubow (3:30)

No, no. I don't know why.

Brooke Fox (3:31)

Did you hook up with her dad? Let's be honest.

Jeffrey Dubow (3:36)

You say that, but have you ever seen Dua Lipa's dad?

Brooke Fox (3:40)

I actually did just see him. There was just a video that she posted. She was at a wedding, and she did a dance with her dad.
