Moving 92.5. Second Date Update. We get hundreds of requests for Second Date Updates from people all over the country now. Yeah. And when we're choosing who we should call, we usually look for something interesting about their situation, whether it's a really unique way that they met or an awkward moment that they remember from their date. And when we don't have any of that, we just go off the weirdest names. And recently we got an email from a guy who signed it Wrangler. Oh, I like that name. I'm not sure if that's a college nickname

or if it was some sort of typo in the email, but I don't know. Let's just ask him. Wrangler, what's up? Is that a nickname or is that your real name? That's my real name. Okay. Really?

So it wasn't something where you're trying to reach a country station and accidentally email those. You guys are the country station? No. I. You guys aren't a country station? No. I've never heard anybody with that as a name. Where does that come from? Well, as legend will have it, apparently I was conceived in the backseat of a Jeep Wrangler.

Okay. Oh, my God. That was not very creative. And your parents wanted you to remember that for the rest of your life. Fun fact, Alexis was almost named Geo Metro. Yeah. She was conceived in Alexis.

So that's why. Oh, there you go. Yeah. Alright, well, Wrangler, who are we going to be calling today, and where did you meet her? You got a minute? It's kind of a long tale uh make it short i was just hoping for her name yeah her name is rojana rojana okay how'd you meet rojana we dated our senior year of high school oh that's why it's a long story this is like an ex thing.

It is. Yeah. Okay. Well, why don't you give us a short version of the legend of Rohana? Okay. We dated in high school. Most of senior year, you know, went to prom. Okay.

I love that young love. I'm sure it was like kind of obsessive. It's the love that you like kind of compare everything else to. And we were really close. We always got along. Even when high school was over and went to different colleges, we tried the long distance thing, but it's just too far apart and it didn't work out.

So you guys broke up just because you were in different cities. Is that what you mean? Yeah. It was just, it was like when the whole relationship is just about the pain of not being together. That's not, you know, that's not healthy the whole relationship is just about the pain of not being together. That's not healthy. Plus, it is healthy, though, when you get to college after high school to take a little bit of time away and grow separately and become your own person.

And then maybe you can come back together. I think what you mean is you want to go into college single because why would you not want to be single? I thought that was a cute way of him saying hook up with other people. I was trying to mask it. I mean, college is all about experimenting. Let's see what's going on. Wrangler had a good time in college. I mean, his name was Wrangler in college.

All right. Hold on. Hold on. I have heard that sometimes people dating, it just wasn't the right time for them. You know what I mean? So maybe now is a better time. Sure. So how did you end up reconnecting with Rohana?

Well, our friendship kind of drifted apart because it was hard to just be friends. And after college, she moved to England for work. So we just lost touch. And then I dated, but I didn't really find the one. And I was just thinking about her. So not too long ago was our 10-year high school reunion. And I was thinking, okay, maybe she'll be there. Maybe she'll be single. Maybe we'll hit it off.

No, I'm hoping. Maybe there'll be a Jeep Wrangler out in the parking lot and we can make a little Wrangler. What happened? I'm, like, nervous for you. Was she there? No, she wasn't there. Oh. You brought me to a place and then let me down, Wrangler.

Well, it brought me to a place and let me down. So I went home right after the prom and I got on Facebook. I sent her a message. The prom? You mean the reunion? The reunion. I'm sorry. You got a flashback.

I know. Sounds like prom night was good for you. Yeah. All right. So what did Rohana say when you reached out? I told her I was bummed I didn't see her. And she actually responded right away. And we started talking again.

And, you know, first it was like superficial chat. But very quickly it got to like that kind of deeper level, flirty. And I found out she moved back like a year ago. Not to the same city as me, but not far. And, and she's single. Oh, the stars are aligning my friend. So did you make your move? Did you ask her out? I mean, it'd be easy to do. I asked her if she wanted to meet up for coffee and she said, yes. So there we go. You know, I got this feeling going, like, I can't, got this feeling going. I can't even describe the feeling. I was excited.

My heart was crazy. It's okay. All men have that feeling. It's something that you can handle on your own time. No. There's a lot riding on this. Because for years, you've built this woman up on this pedestal, it sounds like. And you've been comparing everybody else to her and whatever you guys had together.

Very much so. What was it like when you met up with her? Obviously, I built it up too much because I went and got flowers and I go to the coffee shop and I sit down and she did not show up. What? Seriously? She stood you

up? Yeah. Dude, buddy. I'm sorry, man. sorry man what was that like i mean how long did you wait there for her oh i don't even want to say i mean like i was there for upwards of two hours oh man he's like i'm hoping it's the time something because she's back all the people with laptops thought it was weird i was there so long yeah without one did you try and text her or anything yeah i texted her i called her i got no response are you i mean at this point because you you've had a minute to sit with like of course the initial disappointment and sadness but now are you angry i'm not angry i am hurt yeah and i i figured rather

than just like sitting this for another five days i had to do something different so i turned to you guys okay i want to help reunite you with your high school sweetheart i hope you can okay we do so we're gonna play a song we'll come back we'll give rojana a call and we're going to wrangle you up a second date update. Okay, Wrangler? Alright, thanks guys. It's the sequel to Disney's Moana, The Legend of Rohana. I love both of these. Because it rhymes. Yes. Where did she go?

Did she get lost on her journey to meet Wrangler at the coffee shop? Did she maybe end up on a different island with a hot dude named after an even nicer car? A Mr. Land Rover, perhaps? Either way, our job is to help out our listener, Wrangler, to find out what happened to his long-lost high school sweetheart after she stood him up at the coffee shop.

Wrangler, we're about to call Roana for you. This is a girl you've been thinking about for years. What's going through your mind right now? I'm really just hoping she answers. I was thinking about this because there's a lot in this. Maybe she really does feel the same as

you, but maybe she was just scared to see you. I don't know. Maybe something bad happened in the last 10 years. She got arrested or something and she doesn't want to see you. I don't know. Maybe something bad happened in the last 10 years. Like she got arrested or something. She doesn't want to tell you about it. Yeah. I mean, like, I'd be okay with that. Okay, well.

I'm just thinking because she like didn't show up to the reunion and she stood you up. Maybe she's having a bad hair day. Maybe that's it. That's not an excuse to ditch someone. Maybe her five kids were acting up in the back of the car on the way over and she had to ditch out. Would you five kids were acting up in the back of the car on the way over, and she had to ditch out.

Would you be okay with that, Wrangler? Five kids? It would be weird. I didn't see five kids on her Facebook page, but maybe she's – Maybe she's a horrible mom. Lies to them. A lot of questions, and we're going to try and get you some answers right now. I'm about to dial her phone number. Are you ready, man?

Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Oh, I feel that. I feel answers right now. I'm about to dial her phone number. You ready, man? Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Oh, I feel that. I feel nervous right now. It's like Moana. I just want to blow a conch. It's not like Moana at all. Moana has zero love story in it.

I just want to let you know. I love that movie. All right. Whatever. Here we go. I'm going to dial the number right now. Hello? Hi, I'm looking for Rohana.

This is Rohana. Can you speak? This is Rohana? Mm-hmm. Okay, that's good. Yeah, that's who we're looking for. Who are all these people? We're a morning radio show.

We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. And I'm really glad that you answered because we've been trying to get a hold of you on behalf of one of our listeners. Okay. Yeah. We do something on our show called a second date update. That's where if you go out on a date with someone and afterwards, if that person isn't calling you back, you can email our show. And we'll reach out to them for you to help them figure out the reason why. Huh. Okay. I mean, you didn't, technically you didn't go

on a first date with this person. Well, a long time ago, but not recently. It's someone that you did go on dates with in the past and you were scheduled to meet up with him again, but you never showed up. You know what I'm talking about? Your date with Wrangler. I'm sorry. I'm talking about. Your date with Wrangler. I'm sorry.

I need to. I need to go. No, no, no. Wait, no, hold on. We're not calling to, like, attack you or tell you you're a bad person for not showing up. We're just trying to figure it out. Because Wrangler's really confused about what went on that day

because he showed up, he tried reaching out to you, and you never came, and he just doesn't know what happened. He's worried worried if anything i didn't need time because i need to figure out how to talk to him you know i just just kind of complicated well i mean i understand how this could be complicated i know your relationship spans over you know years and years going back to high school so i'm sure there's a lot to talk about but it'd be really helpful if you could tell us anything that we could pass along to Wrangler. I don't even know how to honestly go about it. I don't know how to explain it. And I just really would love to just at some point just be able to sit down and talk to him.

Well, that's the thing, Rohana, like if you don't tell him, he's not going to just wait around. There's not going to be a time where you get to sit down with him. He's hurt. I mean, you'd be hurt if you had been really looking forward to seeing this person after so long, and then they just don't show up. I mean, that's a lot, man. Yeah, I get that. I just wanted to have it all, like, really ready to say. I didn't want to get emotional.

Yeah, I understand that. I understand things like this can be tough, but the truth is there's probably never going to be a perfect time to do anything like this. The conversation is going to be hard no matter what, no matter when. And I feel like when that's the case, what better time than now? Because I need to tell you, Rohana, that Wrangler's actually on the other line listening and he's ready to talk to you. Are you kidding me?

Surprise! I'm serious. No way. This is like ripping the Band-Aid off. Yeah, it's the perfect time now. Wrangler, are you there? I'm here. Oh, my God.

I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to blindside you here or anything. I just really I didn't know what happened. And I was really looking forward to seeing you. I'm just like, I can't believe this. Rohana, don't be too angry. I mean, he couldn't get a hold of you. You weren't answering your phone calls, your text. I was worried. The man was desperate in a good way. I mean, I feel like what might help Rohan in this moment is if you just at least start by explaining

what happened that day of the date when you were supposed to meet him at the coffee shop. Because he still doesn't know. We don't. We don't know. Well, I actually was there. I was in my car outside of the coffee shop and

I saw him going in with the flowers. Oh, cute. And then right away, all these crazy memories from high school and from college just came back. And, you know, it was just extremely overwhelming for me. And I just couldn't get out of that car and Wrangler do you remember when I had to go to London yeah of course well do you remember that you were supposed to take me to the airport and you never showed up Wrangler was supposed to take you to the airport on the morning

that you left for London yes I was going abroad for a year and he was supposed to take me to the airport and he never showed up. And it was one of the most devastating things that I've had to go through. I mean, it's not like we were boyfriend and girlfriend at the time. We were really, really close

and it was almost like I wanted him to go there and convince me not to go. I mean, that makes sense because it's like you have all these like big feelings from that moment and they're brought up again. And I'm sure you're scared of setting yourself up for that type of disappointment again from him. Yeah, I mean, Wrangler was my first big love. Yeah. And you just never forget that. Wrangler, you never told us about that half of the story where you were supposed to take her when she left for England. Why didn't you show up that morning?

First, before I even explain why, I'm sorry. I am so sorry. That was a strong move. I should have known that was going to affect you. I was thinking about how it was going to affect me. I was thinking about how I felt about you and how I still had feelings with you. And the idea of putting you on an airplane and sending you away just, it destroyed me. I couldn't do it. I could not do that. Wow. Okay.

I mean, this was high school, everyone. Not to be heartless. Yeah, but this is college and these are big, huge emotions and relationships. I mean, you didn't even say anything to her, Wrangler? Like, why wouldn't you at least tell her how you were feeling instead

of completely shutting down? By that point, I thought I was supposed to be over it, you know? We'd broken up. We'd moved on. I thought I was supposed to be over it. You know, we'd broken up, we'd moved on. I thought you had moved on. You know, I know you were dating in college. I mean, I dated in college, too. And you probably thought I moved on now that I look back at it.

But I really never did. You know, wranglers got to wrangle. Like I said, it was my first big love. And it's something that you never forget. And at the time, I knew I had those feelings for you I mean I had him for a really long time what are you guys talking about it sounds like you have them right now for each other that they're still that they like still exist I do I mean I know it's I know I haven't seen you in forever I know that you that the feelings I have are for you from 10 years

ago, but I do. I mean, it seems like there's definitely something still there, and you guys need to talk this out in person. Yeah, you're terrible at communication so far. Yeah. The only way that we can solve this is by getting you guys face-to-face, and that's why we would like

to offer to send you guys out on another date. And we'll pay for it. Kind of like a second first date oh my god it's a second chance what do you say rojana oh wow um sorry wrangler it sounds like she's not interested rojana say yes i know that it could be setting you up for more heartbreak but that's what dating is right like it's taking a chance. You have to take that chance. I feel like my life has been a big heartbreak. I feel you, sister.

It's tough. It's tough. I mean, but I do have to say that the time that I was with Rangler is probably one of the happiest times of my life. And so I can't take that for granted. So I'm going to give it a chance. Yes! All right. Great risk, great reward. That's how it works, you guys. There granted. So I'm going to give it a chance. Yes! All right.

Great risk, great reward. That's how it works, you guys. There we go. I'm so excited. It's like the end of Moana when she finds a hundred and fifty. This has nothing to do with Moana. What can we say except you're welcome. Oh, my God.

No, anybody can stop. Oh, my God. There you go, Wrangler. Congratulations. You got a second date. Yay! Thank you, guys. Thank you so much and rahani

your five kids are cool with this oh okay you're totally unattached awesome congratulations you guys oh my god and update us keep us updated on how things go please yeah unless they go bad because we don't want a sad story.
