Speaker 1 (00:00):
Do you ever do something in the moment that seems
(00:02):
fine and then spend the next few weeks wondering if
you made a huge mistake. It's a Jewel Show. Well
over the Thanksgiving holiday, one person on this show did
something that they now regret and need your help figuring
out if what they did was okay. Who is it
and who do they make out with? You'll find out
right after this. It's the Jewel Show. Can you relate
to this? It's the Jewel Show. It's Thanksgiving break and
(00:24):
you and your family are gathered together and you think
everybody is paying attention to their conversations or the football
game or whatever, so you decide to finally start making
out with the turkey like you've always wanted. It's just
sitting there in the middle of the table, and then
things are going great. You're getting hot and heavy with
the bird and everything. He's wonderful, just like you dreamed
(00:46):
the turkey makeout would be. And then you turn around
and realize the entire family has stopped what they're doing
and they're all just staring blankly at you. And then
you snap at them and scream at them for all
judging you, and they all wish they had a love
like you and the turkeys, jamming your hand in the
turkey and storming out of the door with your golden
brown lover around your fist. WHOA, that's only to have
(01:09):
to send a mass apology text to the family the
next day and asking if you can be invited next year?
Happens to all of us. Well, someone on this show
experienced a similar situation over the Thanksgiving holiday, and now
they can't tell if they made a mistake or not.
Who is it? We'll tell you in just a second.
But don't forget. You can always stream the show on
the iHeartRadio app or wherever you stream just check it out,
(01:30):
or you can check out our podcast wherever you get
your podcasts, or the jubilshow dot com. But who had
an awkward makeout over Thanksgiving? And now they're wondering if
they made a mistake, it'd be none other than our
own Nina, it wasn't just so what happened? No, I'm
feeling awful.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Actually, I feel like like there's this pit in my
stomach that's been there since, like for a couple of days.
So there's something going on with somebody that I've known
basically my whole life. Okay, so him and I have
been friends for a very long time and his marriage
didn't work out, so things are starting to go in
another direction, and he has children.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
But this is the same guy he went on a
trip with.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Yeah, and we all low.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
He made bets to see if Nina was gonna with.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Him on a trip a little while ago with a
guy that she's been friends with forever, and she was like,
nothing is gonna happen, no way, We're just friends. So
it sounds like something might have give me y won money.
All I know is somebody won money waiting for the
romance of Thanksgiving a takeover.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
It's that friend. But they're technicalities. Okay, so he lives
in another city and he does have children. Now, I
have dated people with kids before, and the way that
it goes is you just you know, you don't meet
them right away. Things take time, and honestly, being a
single person who's never been married and doesn't have kids,
while I'm around them a lot, I'm not around them
a lot in these types of settings, so I'm not
(03:00):
always thinking.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
About a child. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Right, So we had to get together like a little reunion.
It was my best friend and I and her family
and her kids, and then he came over with his kids,
and then there's Jan and everybody or whatever. But like,
and I didn't start off weird, Like I was really
(03:24):
excited to meet, like meet his children, right, Like, these
are little nuggets from a friend that I've known forever.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
So I love that friends.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Were meeting them as his friend as well.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
As his friend. I mean, we've been friends for over
thirty years. That is a very long time. You haven't
met his kids, and well no, because he lives in
a different city.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Okay, so.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
That happened, and you know, the beginning of the night's
going really good, and then you know, some drinks are flowing,
the kids are busy playing together, and everything's fine, and
so like we kind of steal a kiss.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
And in the middle of a room. I mean it was.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Like in a quarter by a pool table in a room. Yeah,
so you're just friends though, right, Yeah, that's making sense. No,
but this is this is why.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
I feel terrible. Right, So we still a kiss.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I'm not thinking anything of it at that moment, but
his son comes up to him and pulls him aside,
and he comes back to me, and he's like, yeah,
my son just asked me why I was kissing my
friend of thirty years, so the kids.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Saw you kiss it.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
So he saw us kiss and I was like, oh
my gosh, I feel like weird about this, and my
friend was we'll just call him Bob. Bob's like it's fine,
like don't worry about it, like he's okay, you know,
like he understands, and I'm like, okay, okay, cool.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Cool.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
So then somehow we end up in a corner now
and that way he didn't these times now, but we're
not in the room, the main room anymore because I'm
trying to be conscious of the children, right, And it's
just days after it happened. They we didn't do that much,
like it wasn't anything crazy, but we were flirty around
each other, like everybody was playful. So then I tried
(04:58):
to spread the love and I was like, sit on
my friend's lab, not that friend.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I'll make this better. I'll just start making out with
everybody in the room. I'm a lover, you know, like
PDA is my thing.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
So I was just kind of like on my girlfriend
just like hi, you know, everything just having fun. But
ever since then, like everything ended fine, everything was great.
They went they went back home, flew away to their
city and you know, him and I or whatever. But
I just have been feeling like this is where I'm
stuck because I don't have kids, But I feel like
(05:32):
I'm supposed to know better, you know, like it's not
my child, but it is a child that I, you know,
care about, just because it's my son.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
It's so bad for making out with your friend in
front of his kids.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Me yes, I will say, as a child of divorced parents,
that would kind of bother me.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
But that's like you said, you don't have kids, Like
how it would bother you about it? Victoria, Well, especially.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
If the other parent doesn't like depends how long they've
been divorced and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
But it's with dads, and I don't know if he
has a daughter or son.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
He has both a daughter and a son. Well, I'm
not sure about the daughter. I was dancing with her earlier.
Everything was fine. I think she, I think her and
I are cool, but his son definitely saw.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
I mean the kids, depending on how old they are,
they could be a little territorial their dad, Like, hey,
that's my dad. What are you trying to do like
trying to come in here and like mess things up,
but also kids like, at least for me, I internalized
things more from what I saw versus from what my
parents told me. So they could tell me one thing,
but if I saw something else, I would take what
(06:34):
I saw way.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
More to heart and it would hurt me a lot more.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Yeah, So that's the only thing where I could say
the kids maybe seeing that being like, who's this friend
coming in.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Here Maine now with my dad? Like and then look,
he hates you exactly. But that's what's going through my
mind right now. I wasn't thinking in the moment that's
my bad. But as the adult not drunk any and
I'm a very together person, I just have moments and
after the fact I'm like, oh, shoot, like I think
that we can't do that.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
I can't do that. I've never done that before.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
But fairly, you're I feel like it's more on him
to be more noticing of that stuff than you because
you don't have kids, Like, how are you supposed to know?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Well, I mean, in his defense, he didn't plan that.
That wasn't something that we thought was gonna happen, like
ended up in a corner it just happened and.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Like, and it wasn't bad.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
It was just like a little you know, I now
feel like it was not just a little.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
We went way in the corner the pool table for
a quick yes text in four one six one calls
up eighted eight three four three one oh six one.
Is it a mistake for Nina to make out with
her friend in front of the kids when the kids
had no idea that they were a thing at When.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
You put it like that, it's obviously a terrible thing.
So anything constructive, though, would be helpful.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Hello, who's this? Oh Mike, Mike, do you have some
input on this situation?
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (07:48):
Absolutely, listen, Hey Nina, Yeah, I'm feel bad. I was
a single dad who had to mary aid my way
through the whole dating scene with a kid who was
old enough to be able to underst animals going on
the elementary school age.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Yeah, it's on the dad to explain the kid. Yeah, Like,
it's on him to explain to the kid like, hey,
you know, I'm maybe moving into a different direction with
this person, you know, maybe they will become more important
in our lives, and explain it to the kids that way.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
I mean, I ended up like, my my oldest was
in our wedding after it happened, So dude, like want
him to explain.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Yeah, so he's gonna sit the kid down and be
like hey, I know, the.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Kid down and be like hey, this is the situation.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Especially, I mean, how old is the oldest the kid?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
The son you said he's eleven, so he definitely knows
what Like, Yeah, so you like the ladies and.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
My son thirty years happens to be a lady and
dades have needs to go along now and play because
