Chapter 2: What traumatic event led to the listener's disconnection from their neighbors?
Maybe they think they're better than you. Like, oh, we don't talk to them because they moved out of the neighborhood. But then I go, you've known them for so long, you would know if they were shallow like that. See, I was thinking the opposite, where maybe they're jealous. Maybe your new situation is something they've always wanted. Probably not about status. I mean, they just moved.
I don't know.
Brooke won't talk to us because of where we live sometimes. We're not allowed over on her fancy island. But Jodi, you know how this works. You've already worked with our producer to come up with the four questions, and we've told you the Coopers have responded to all four. Are you nervous about hearing from them after how long has it been now? It's been over four years. Wow. Are you nervous?
Yeah, I'm curious more than anything. It seems like this could be something resolved. I mean, maybe if they explain, then you two can come to some understanding and rebuild this friendship. I agree with Brooke. I do think if it was one of the kids especially, it's like, no, no, no, this is a misunderstanding. Yeah, just get rid of that kid, and then everything's fixed. So we're going to do it.
We'll read the answers from your neighbors that ghosted your family five years ago when we do your closure call right after this. You're just joining us. We're in the middle of a closure call, and it's an interesting one because I don't know if we've ever done anything quite like this before.
With two sets of neighbors whose families were very close, and our listener Jodi, who's on the phone with us, is the mother of one family. Her house sadly burned down years ago, so they had to move away 45 minutes from where they originally lived. Shortly after, they lost all contact with this other family who used to basically be their best friends.
And it's not like you've moved even to a different state. You're like 45 minutes away. It's not that dramatic. I don't know. I'd say when my parents only lived 45 minutes away, I never saw them. Because I knew they were only 45 minutes away. But it's been very confusing for Jodi because she doesn't know why they cut off all contact and want some closure, hence the term closure call.
Oh.
Wow. You were built for this, Jody.

Chapter 3: Why did the listener's neighbors stop communicating after the house fire?
You're not just going to put your mind over it. Yep, yep, exactly. And if I can't walk up and over it, I'm going to go through it. Listen to Mind Over Mountain every Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Well, that definitely did not go the way I think she thought it was going to go. No. No chance. Yeah. Thank you for being here all the way through our closure call. And we do have a lot of comments, a lot of reflections on what just happened on our comment board and our YouTube comments and text board. I mean, a lot of people are obviously mad that she used, like, GoFundMe as a scam.
Like, for sure. But, I mean, how many of the GoFundMes do you think are scams? Oh, I've never even thought about it like that, Brooke. Stop!
You gotta do the homework.
You do have to do the homework. And you gotta know the person.
Yeah.
If you know the person also really wants a trip to the Bahamas. Yeah, you got to be aware. Yeah. Yes. Or if they come back with a tan and new boobs. Wait, did you go to the hospital for surgery and they have a tan? They do that there now. Ben's. Yeah. And some other ones we got. Hashtag Team Cooper. She hung up at the end. I love how Jeff didn't notice. Yeah. OMG.
She had to do this call to figure out why they would be mad. Duh. Yeah. Should have used the extra money to have a housewarming party to thank everyone. Maybe help someone else in need. Maybe ask people what they want done with the extra. Yeah, that's a good one. Pass it on. It's not good karma to then spend the extra money on something frivolous.
Yeah, take that money and send someone else to the Bahamas too. Experience what you did. Yeah. And maybe get a butt lift. I don't know. Yeah. Do it for good. All right. Hey, thank you so much again for being here. Please subscribe. It means the world. And we'll be back tomorrow with the second date update. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
