This is the Birch Show.

0:02.4

It's Thursday. We call it follow-up Thursday, where we follow up on Birch Show storylines that you guys haven't had tied up in a nice little bow.

0:11.0

All right, so she was considering breaking girl code to date her friend's ex. Did she take the risk or not?

0:17.1

Now, if you don't recall, Jenna called us because she had a crush on her friend's ex-boyfriend and wanted to know if she should pursue him. Her friend, she decided was a B-minus level friend. So specific. B-minus. B-minus. She's not besty. She's not A. She's not even B. But she's B minus. She's not quite C.

0:39.8

I really honestly have no idea what that means, but okay.

0:50.6

I'm assuming like if you have, okay, if you're going out and you are calling different people to go out at some point or another, the group gets too big, she's right on the cut line every time.

1:11.2

Or if you're going out who you're calling to ask to go out, you call the A, you call the B, and then right before the C, you call her. Or maybe she got demoted. Maybe she did something to get the little minus in front of it. All right, so her friend was a B minus level friend. So dating the ex could cause drama in their social circle. They don't hang out all the time, but some of the time.

1:15.7

Tommy reached out to the ex-boyfriend anonymously with five questions about dating scenarios to test if he'd be open to dating Jenna.

1:18.6

Based on his positive responses, Jenna was considering shooting her shot.

1:23.3

After getting the green light from her crush, we also secretly asked her friend how she feel about friends dating her exes.

1:30.2

Oh, this is all coming back to me.

1:32.1

Jenna's friends responses were clear.

1:35.3

She thought dating a friend's ex was absolutely off limits of betrayal in certain lines you don't cross.

1:43.5

After hearing this, Jenna said she felt too guilty to pursue her crush, but we weren't convinced.

1:48.9

So now we've got to find out.

1:49.9

Did she or did she not?

1:51.1

Now, I have not read this update, right?

1:53.3

I am just assuming that you can only put this off for so long.

1:58.8

Like right now she's saying, you know what? Maybe. Let me think about it. But at some point or another, she's going to come full circle and she's going to follow her parts, what her parts are feeling. I think so too. This is what the update says. It says, hey, Bert Schell, I know I said I would be, I would back down from talking to my crush, but I couldn't hold out for long. There we go. Right first sentence, baby. Tingly, dingley. Within a week, I ended up texting him and asking him to coffee. He figured out, he figured out pretty quickly that he was the mystery crush from your radio show questions. Apparently it wasn't as sneaky as I thought. Long story short, we've been together

2:34.9

for a few months now and it's been amazing. He said he'd always wondered about us but didn't want

2:39.8

to complicate things with his ex. Of course my friend found out and she's definitely not speaking
