Listen to the Brothers Ortiz on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, that folks, DJ Holmes and Amy Roboc here of IDR2. And we wanted to wish you all a very merry Christmas.

And I had the question as we were going to hopefully help people through this holiday as a single person. Is there a singles table at Christmas or just a kid's table? I think sometimes there's both. And, well, if there isn't a singles table, if everyone else is booed up or coupled up, you certainly feel singled out. But then you get stuck at the kids' table sometimes. don't you? Yeah, that's the worst. That's no good. But folks, whatever you may be doing, single or not, enjoy your holiday. Remember the value you have in you, and it's not tied up in whether or not you got to boo next to you or not.

That's right. Your relationship, you could focus on, I would say, this holiday season is with yourself. Give yourself a break. Take a hot bath. Go binge that Netflix series that you've been wanting to watch that you know if you did get boot up, the other person wouldn't want to watch. There's a lot of things you can take advantage of when you're single and just keep that positive attitude. If you want to have a relationship, if you're looking for that next relationship, know that 2026 may be your year. So during this holiday season, relax, chill, go fall in love with yourself. And you know what? If that doesn't work, just look at some of the couples in your family. You don't want to be in those relationships either. Wow, that might be the best advice yet when you see.

what other people are dealing with. Sometimes the loneliest place to be is in a bad relationship. So just remember, if you're like us, many of us do not get love right the first time. So please, please, please. If you do have some extra time, you can also check out all of our episodes from the past year here on I do Part 2 where we talk to folks who are in the middle of their next relationship looking for love or hoping for better times you will not feel alone when you are with us and I Do Part 2. It's your favorite mentor, Kelly Kalora, and Ben Simone, and I hope you have the best holiday season. I miss you.

Can't wait to see you in 2026. And this is Cheryl Burke. And I just wanted to take a moment to wish everybody a Merry Christmas and wishing everyone peace, warmth and just moments that truly feel like home this holiday season, whether you're alone or with family, just have time for yourself. You know, this is a time to slow down and be present. so love you guys. Hey guys, it's Jana Kramer from I do Part 2. Hey, we just want to wish you a Merry Christmas. Happy holidays to all the cast and the crew, to all the listeners. Thank you
