Chapter 1: What is the main topic of the Closure Call episode?

02:54 - 03:11 Brooke

Hey, you found it, the Second Date Update podcast. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Thanks so much for being here, especially on a Sunday. Yes. Totally. You know, and Sunday we've really been using to introduce you to all sorts of new relationship drama segments that we do on the show. And today, I think it's the first one we've done on the Second Date Update podcast. Yeah, it is.

03:11 - 03:27 Brooke

We're going to do a closure call. Yes. Those are intense. I mean, sometimes, yeah, they really are. You know, it's probably the most serious thing that we do on the show. Yeah, it is. Good serious. Yeah, good serious. And just emotional, maybe, is a better word than serious. Intense, maybe, yeah.

0

03:27 - 03:31 Jeffrey

I don't laugh at all. I cry through the whole thing. All of us.

0

03:31 - 03:48 Brooke

It's way different. All of us. Grab your tissues. Get ready. God. A closure call is where we have our producer work with one of our listeners to get in touch with somebody from their past. It could be like a family member, a lot of exes. We had a bully one time. Oh, a bully, that's right.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Jose

An old roommate that just disappeared once.

00:00 - 00:00 Brooke

Yeah, which is a hint for what today's is, by the way. Anyway, they come up with questions to ask this person that has broken off contact with them. Yeah. For sometimes like years and years and years. Yeah, yeah. And then we read the responses live on air and hopefully at the end, you know, give them a chance to move forward.

00:00 - 00:00 Jeffrey

Or crush them because they don't know they're going to hear this.

00:00 - 00:00 Brooke

Well, that's not the goal. That's not the goal, but sometimes it does happen. All right, so now you understand what it is. Hopefully you enjoy it. Definitely let us know in the comments. We love reading your comments. We got some today.

00:00 - 00:00 Additional Host

Yes, I saw one from so original. Yes, that many O's, okay? Yes. Who said, my favorite moments are when Jeffrey's genuine laugh sneaks out. It's hilariously adorable. Yeah.

Chapter 2: Why is Adam seeking closure?

05:19 - 05:22 Jeffrey

Oh, boy. You're right. Even my old roommate probably knows more about me than my family.

0

05:22 - 05:30 Narrator

Yeah, they know all your annoying little habits, your lazy tendencies, and what your soapy silhouette looks like through that shower curtain.

0

05:30 - 05:32 Roommate Storyteller

Wait, what? Why are you there?

0

05:32 - 05:54 Narrator

That's why one of our listeners is so distraught because he and his roommate became real close friends until everything suddenly changed on a random day four years ago. Oh. And he has never got the answers for what really happened on that day. That's why he's enlisted our help for a brand new closure call. We're going to get some answers coming up right after this.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Narrator

Who knows you better than anyone else? You may think your mom or your sibling or your spouse, but no, the truth is nobody sees you like a roommate sees you.

00:00 - 00:00 Jeffrey

Oh boy, you're right. Even my old roommate probably knows more about me than my family.

00:00 - 00:00 Narrator

Yeah, they know all your annoying little habits, your lazy tendencies, and what your soapy silhouette looks like through that shower curtain.

00:00 - 00:00 Roommate Storyteller

Wait, what?

00:00 - 00:00 Narrator

They've seen. That's why one of our listeners is so distraught because he and his roommate became real close friends till everything suddenly changed on a random day four years ago. And he has never got the answers for what really happened on that day. That's why he's enlisted our help for a brand new closure call. We're going to get some answers coming up right after this.

Chapter 3: What happened the day Adam's roommate disappeared?

07:28 - 07:34 Brooke

Is this person just a roommate? Because usually roommates are also your best friends and people that you love, you know, and care about.

0

07:34 - 07:40 Adam

You know, he was just a roommate, and then we became really close buddies.

0

07:40 - 07:46 Jose

Got it. You know, I moved into a house where I literally found it on Craigslist, didn't know anyone, and then we became best friends.

0

07:46 - 07:51 Brooke

Well, I mean, that's the easiest way to be friends with somebody, and you know everything about them immediately. Yeah, if you live with somebody, oh yeah.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Adam

Yeah, I mean, that's how it was with him. We became great friends really quickly.

Chapter 4: What are the potential reasons for the roommate's sudden departure?

07:56 - 08:02 Additional Host

Oh, man. That's great. But some friends you can't live with. There's a difference.

0

08:02 - 08:07 Narrator

And because this is a closure call, how long has it been since you were roommates with this guy?

0

08:08 - 08:11 Brooke

Like, he's not in the next room right now, is he?

0

08:11 - 08:18 Adam

No, I wish. He's not here. He has been gone for four years now. Oh, wow.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Brooke

Did he move out of your guys' place?

00:00 - 00:00 Adam

Yeah, so the way it all went down was things were cool, and all of a sudden, he just wasn't there.

00:00 - 00:00 Brooke

What do you mean? Like in the middle of the night, he moved his stuff out or what?

00:00 - 00:00 Adam

I would get home from work. I worked really early shifts and I would get home around 2, 3 p.m. And he was there, always there every single day. Showed up at home, the door's wide open.

00:00 - 00:00 Commenter

What?

Chapter 5: How did the show contact the missing roommate, Roy?

09:36 - 09:45 Brooke

I don't have movie night anymore. This is a tragedy. I can't get over him leaving the cat. Did he take his stuff when he left?

0

09:45 - 09:56 Adam

He took some stuff. He took like some of his clothes, but he left PlayStation. He left like essentials. Jose's most upset about the PlayStation.

0

09:56 - 09:58 Additional Host

More than the cat. I'm sorry, but we got to give up.

0

09:58 - 09:59 Adam

You know where he leaves the PlayStation.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Additional Host

I feel like it sounds like he left for a weekend trip and then was like, actually, this is nicer. I'm going to stay.

00:00 - 00:00 Jose

Yeah, you went to Hawaii and he's like, oh, I'm going to live here now.

00:00 - 00:00 Adam

I mean, I know that I wasn't perfect. There were things that kicked him off. I would eat his food sometimes.

00:00 - 00:00 Jose

Oh, you were that guy.

00:00 - 00:00 Narrator

Well, did he label it?

Chapter 6: What questions did Adam want to ask Roy?

10:42 - 10:46 Brooke

So wait, do you think he was mad at you? Because that's what you're kind of implying.

0

10:46 - 10:53 Adam

I mean, me eating some of his food every now and then, or the other big one was that I hardly ever did dishes.

0

10:53 - 10:59 Brooke

You didn't do your own dishes and you ate his food? You still wouldn't leave your cat and move.

0

10:59 - 11:00 Jose

Yeah, it's not that dramatic.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Adam

You know, I cleaned the cat's litter and I held up my end of some of the bargain.

00:00 - 00:00 Brooke

Some of the bargain.

00:00 - 00:00 Adam

I could do more dishes if that was the issue.

00:00 - 00:00 Brooke

But he never talked to you about it?

00:00 - 00:00 Adam

Yeah, I couldn't have just been about silly little things like that. And I know it's kind of weird because he was just my roommate. And I know it was four years ago. But still, it is haunting me that this person would just up and go. And I really would love some closure. I would love to know what I did.
