Speaker 1: Yeah, and that he didn't even think it was weird
Speaker 1: that he went an entire date.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you read the comments, but honestly,
Speaker 3: quite a few of our listeners didn't think it was weird.
Speaker 2: E there what.
Speaker 4: Yes, there's a lot of barefoot Yes.
Speaker 5: There is.
Speaker 3: We got it on the street. Yes, Sydney is too
Speaker 3: judgmental for my taste. I don't think it's a big
Speaker 3: deal to walk without shoes. Come to Australia. We don't
Speaker 3: wear shoes here. Shoes are overrated.
Speaker 6: I feel like I'm a hybrid of this, Like if
Speaker 6: I'm on carpet, grass, or sand, I want to feel
Speaker 6: it with.
Speaker 2: My Feet's normal.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's crazy to me. Yeah, yeah, I don't want
Speaker 4: to walk down the road.
Speaker 2: Anywhere a car was. I don't like to be bear
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 8: I don't know why.
Speaker 3: And then one, well, he's right, trees have been around
Speaker 3: longer than plumbing.
Speaker 2: Because we didn't even talk about him beeing on the day.
Speaker 4: It is the original toilet.
Speaker 2: I mean, the longest living organism on the planet is
Speaker 2: are phenomenal.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, we got a brand new awkward Tuesday
Speaker 1: for you, and it's going to start right now.
Speaker 9: I've looked at social media once or twice, and I've
Speaker 9: learned the only thing that goes more viral than a sweet,
Speaker 9: happy marriage proposal is a messy, awkward marriage proposal.
Speaker 4: Gone horribly wrong.
Speaker 9: That's so true, and that's why when I saw our
Speaker 9: listener's email today, I knew we had to talk to
Speaker 9: him because he hasn't had just one failed proposal, but
Speaker 9: three in a row, and he needs our help to
Speaker 9: figure out Am I doing something wrong here? Or is
Speaker 9: there another explanation? You're gonna hear it in your brand
Speaker 9: new awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 10: Next, it's awkward, It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 9: Some people in relationships believe there's cosmic signs that show
Speaker 9: you're meant to be together. Okay, like when you start
Speaker 9: finishing each other's sentences, or every time you say their name,
Speaker 9: a church bell rings, wow, or a pigeon lands and
Speaker 9: poops on your shoulder then flies over in poops on
Speaker 9: their car.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 9: These are positive signs from the universe saying.
Speaker 4: You belong together.
Speaker 9: But one of our listeners apparently has been receiving a
Speaker 9: different kind of message from the cosmos about his relationship. Oh,
Speaker 9: his name is Keith. Keith, what are the signs telling you?
Speaker 8: I mean, the signs are kind of.
Speaker 7: The actions of my girlfriend recently.
Speaker 2: All the signs aren't from the universe.
Speaker 4: It can be determined as cosmic messages.
Speaker 1: I think that's just girlfriend messages, jeh from the cos it's.
Speaker 2: Her name, Cosmos. Is that what we're getting now?
Speaker 4: He could be, But what what is it telling you? Keith?
Speaker 7: Now her name is Lilah, but who knows.
Speaker 8: Maybe there is some cosmic energy that's affecting her. Because
Speaker 8: I really feel like she's trying to sabotage my marriage proposal.
Speaker 2: I thought you were going to say my marriage.
Speaker 9: We would be okay with either one of those things.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're trying.
Speaker 9: You're trying to propose to your girlfriend, but you feel
Speaker 9: like she's sabotaging it.
Speaker 7: Right, we are not married. We've been dating for two years.
Speaker 8: The first time I tried to propose her, I was
Speaker 8: going to do it in in a park, you know,
Speaker 8: I had the ring ready to go, and maybe she's
Speaker 8: got the sense that something was up because I was
Speaker 8: a little nervous and like a little walk in the
Speaker 8: park is not something that we normally do.
Speaker 7: As we're walking in the park, she just turns to
Speaker 7: me and says, Hey, if you're gonna do what I
Speaker 7: think you're gonna do, I don't want it to be
Speaker 7: like this.
Speaker 1: Oh pretty public that Okay.
Speaker 9: I can't believe she just came out and said that
Speaker 9: to you, Like, well, how did you react when she
Speaker 9: told you that, Like, don't propose to me?
Speaker 10: Right?
Speaker 7: No, I just joked it up.
Speaker 8: I was like, what do you think I'm not going
Speaker 8: to propose in a park like this? It's so corny,
Speaker 8: Like I just I just tried to play it cool.
Speaker 5: Yeah, hey, it'd have been like, oh I.
Speaker 4: Was just gonna kiss you, but not for these people.
Speaker 1: Okay, But I think you could take that as a
Speaker 1: positive too, Like she obviously wants you to do it,
Speaker 1: and she has a vision of how it's going to
Speaker 1: happen in her mind. That means she's thinking of you,
Speaker 1: and I mean it sounds like she'll say yes, which
Speaker 1: is great.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 8: We'll flash forward a little bit to a couple months ago,
Speaker 8: I tried again. We took a trip to New York
Speaker 8: City and I went like scrolling on online and tried.
Speaker 8: I tried to find like a really fancy dinner, and
Speaker 8: she like agreed to it for a little while. But
Speaker 8: then the night we were there, she says she thinks
Speaker 8: she has an eye infection and she wanted to stay
Speaker 8: in the hotel that night.
Speaker 7: So I was like, okay, you know, pink eye.
Speaker 4: It'll hit you broke.
Speaker 9: Yeah, she made up an excuse that she had some
Speaker 9: eye problem.
Speaker 7: I don't know if it was a fake eye infection
Speaker 7: or if it was a coincidence, but huh. There was
Speaker 7: one more time recently, I tried it again.
Speaker 2: I like that you're not giving up. This is important
Speaker 2: and you know how she'd want it though.
Speaker 1: I like that it is a good point of lexis
Speaker 1: that maybe you should have said, well, what do you want?
Speaker 4: Well, he's clearly trying.
Speaker 9: He's clearly trying to like make it a surprise, and
Speaker 9: she obviously knows something is coming, so he doesn't want
Speaker 9: to like blow it entirely.
Speaker 6: But at this rate, it's going to be like, oh,
Speaker 6: we've been married for three years, but I've been trying
Speaker 6: to propose.
Speaker 10: For fucking right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so what was your what was your idea for
Speaker 4: your third proposal?
Speaker 8: Okay, yeah, this one is where I'm really like, Okay,
Speaker 8: something's up. So about two weeks ago, I had a
Speaker 8: picnic setup and the you know, I had like her
Speaker 8: favorite a favorite meal, and a candle and nice wine.
Speaker 2: We're back to a park.
Speaker 4: I know, why would you repeat the parts? Is it
Speaker 4: in the park or is it like private?
Speaker 7: This was on the beach, not in the park.
Speaker 9: Okay, okay, okay, a very private, exclusive beach.
Speaker 8: When she came and she showed up, she again had
Speaker 8: that like nervous look on her face. And not too
Speaker 8: long after, the blanket suddenly catches on fire. What whoa,
Speaker 8: whoa wha because of the candle.
Speaker 7: The candle fell over and the blanket catches on fire.
Speaker 7: So I had to put it out.
Speaker 8: And I had my phone set up on a tree
Speaker 8: nearby because I was going to film the proposal. And
Speaker 8: I saw in the tape that she knocked the candle
Speaker 8: over like on purpose.
Speaker 7: I saw her do it.
Speaker 4: Oh she started the fire.
Speaker 6: Maybe she doesn't want to marry you man, And I like.
Speaker 8: Honestly, well that's what I'm worried about, you know, like
Speaker 8: because we're still like everything else otherwise is still fine. Like,
Speaker 8: so either she doesn't want to get married or ready,
Speaker 8: So what.
Speaker 2: Do you want to do with your awkward call?
Speaker 5: Though? Like?
Speaker 2: Are we calling her to see the Yeah?
Speaker 4: This is this proposal number four.
Speaker 7: I just I did need some help navigating the conversation.
Speaker 7: She doesn't know that.
Speaker 8: I know she botched that last one, and you know,
Speaker 8: I don't want her to feel up about that.
Speaker 7: I just want to know, like what's going on?
Speaker 9: Oh, okay, okay, So this is an information finding mission
Speaker 9: to figure out why she keeps turning it down.
Speaker 8: Yeah, she might not even want to get married to me,
Speaker 8: and I would want to know that instead of just
Speaker 8: like trying and failing all these times?
Speaker 2: Is a return policy on these rings?
Speaker 5: What's the story that?
Speaker 4: I don't want to be negative?
Speaker 6: But what happens if you're like, oh, we don't want
Speaker 6: to get married, then you just break up?
Speaker 9: No, you get married anyway, Jose, that's what you've carried.
Speaker 9: You force the marriage, and then you break up.
Speaker 2: Some couple say together. Some couples break up.
Speaker 9: You won't know until you sign that document locking you
Speaker 9: together forever. How you really feel about the marriage.
Speaker 5: Till you're in it.
Speaker 2: I hope you know before you sign the document.
Speaker 4: How could you know until you're married exactly? Don't.
Speaker 9: Yeah, we do need to focus on some advice, though,
Speaker 9: so we'll think of some to give you.
Speaker 4: We'll come back and we'll call your maybe.
Speaker 9: Future fiance depending on how this conversation goes when we
Speaker 9: do your awkward Tuesday phone call right after this.
Speaker 7: Thank you so much.
Speaker 4: All right, man, hold on, it's awkward.
Speaker 10: It's it's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 9: How can you tell if your girlfriend is actively trying
Speaker 9: to sabotage your marriage proposals? Oh goodness, and I say
Speaker 9: proposals plural, because our listener Keith has attempted to pop
Speaker 9: the question three separate times to his girlfriend. Each one
Speaker 9: got shut down by Lylah before he even really got
Speaker 9: started with them.
Speaker 4: But the last one is the most.
Speaker 9: Incriminating because it was caught on camera while he was
Speaker 9: secretly filming.
Speaker 4: As men like to do, let film us with our girlfriend.
Speaker 2: H that's very illegal, go to jail for a long time.
Speaker 9: Unless it's for a marriage proposal, which is totally fine
Speaker 9: because in the footage he saw her purposely knock over
Speaker 9: the candle and light their picnic blanket on fire. Geez,
Speaker 9: stopping the marriage proposal before he even got to it.
Speaker 4: Have we considered she's an arsonist?
Speaker 9: Could be a possibility he might need more flames in
Speaker 9: the next attempt. It's just after that, Keith is wondering,
Speaker 9: is the problem actually with the proposal or does she
Speaker 9: actually even want.
Speaker 4: To marry me?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Not exactly the easiest conversation to have with your significant other.
Speaker 4: So he needs advice, Brooke, what do you have to
Speaker 4: say to him?
Speaker 1: Well, I think you do something that my husband perfected
Speaker 1: a long time ago.
Speaker 4: Let's yeah, let's not go into the bedroom stuff, and that.
Speaker 2: Is play dumb. Okay, play dumb. Go into it and
Speaker 2: just be like, Okay, I didn't want to tell you,
Speaker 2: but I had a little surprise for you the other
Speaker 2: night on the beach.
Speaker 1: So I was filming and you wouldn't believe what I saw.
Speaker 1: It looked like you tried to light the blanket on fire.
Speaker 2: Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 4: I see?
Speaker 9: So it's not like you're actively accusing her of doing it.
Speaker 4: You're just like, I saw something weird, Yeah weird. What
Speaker 4: do you think about that? Keith?
Speaker 7: Then my work I'm pretty good at playing dumb.
Speaker 9: Yeah, all of us, sorry, have that ability. So okay,
Speaker 9: keep that in your back pocket, hose. What's your advice?
Speaker 4: Maybe it has nothing to do with you.
Speaker 6: It could be something that she's built this up in
Speaker 6: her mind and you're not living up to this expectation
Speaker 6: that you don't.
Speaker 4: Even know about.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 9: It is interesting that all of your talks about marriage,
Speaker 9: those are going fine, but when it comes to the
Speaker 9: actual proposal, that's where everything falls off the right place. Yeah,
Speaker 9: all right, alexis where's your recommendation? Where should he propose?
Speaker 2: I don't want to get married, don't do it?
Speaker 9: Okay, there's no good place for all right. Well, that's
Speaker 9: our advice for you. Keep We're all scared in studio.
Speaker 9: Thank god you're the person making this call, but we
Speaker 9: will be on the other line ready to jump in
Speaker 9: if we feel like you need a little bit of help.
Speaker 4: You ready, ma'am? Yeah?
Speaker 7: I think so.
Speaker 4: All right, you got it, buddy.
Speaker 9: What's the worst that can happen? You're just asking your
Speaker 9: girlfriend if the idea of marriage.
Speaker 4: Discusss her, they could break up.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm trying to ask that question in a positive way.
Speaker 4: What's the worst that could happen.
Speaker 9: I wasn't expecting everybody to jump on all right, Sorry
Speaker 9: about that, Keith, but good luck.
Speaker 4: We'll be here if you need here, we go.
Speaker 7: Hello, Hey babe, how's it going. Hey, I'm good.
Speaker 5: How are you?
Speaker 7: What's what's up? Good?
Speaker 8: So I just saying hi, you know, I'm just missing
Speaker 8: you a call and say hey.
Speaker 7: Want to hear your voice.
Speaker 5: Well, that's sweet of you.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, you know, I was just thinking too.
Speaker 8: You know, I'm sorry about the little fire accident we had.
Speaker 7: A couple of weeks ago. That's not bad about that.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 8: I know your beach is your favorite and kind of
Speaker 8: kind of ruined the mood there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely. Yeah. It was a bummer to lose pizza
Speaker 5: and a blanket and all the things.
Speaker 8: I know, I know, yeah, yeah, I just uh, I
Speaker 8: was going to surprise you with something, so I had
Speaker 8: my phone.
Speaker 7: Set up so I could get your reaction and did.
Speaker 8: I was looking at the video again, and I don't know,
Speaker 8: I don't know why. It just it looked like it
Speaker 8: looked like you you might have set the blanket on
Speaker 8: fire on purpose, but like I don't think you would.
Speaker 7: Do that, you know, right, I don't know what happened.
Speaker 7: I mean I didn't.
Speaker 5: I didn't like it wasn't I don't.
Speaker 7: Did you get this sense that I was going to
Speaker 7: have like a surprise for you?
Speaker 5: Maybe?
Speaker 7: Okay? Yeah, yeah, I just this is not a big deal,
Speaker 7: you know. I just uh like we both want to
Speaker 7: get married, right.
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm just uh like processing all this because
Speaker 5: I wasn't expecting this during my work day.
Speaker 8: Is there is there a problem? Is there something going
Speaker 8: on on? Am I like a like, am I pick
Speaker 8: up on something?
Speaker 1: Here?
Speaker 7: Is everything? Okay?
Speaker 5: I didn't really want to talk about this, but I
Speaker 5: guess I should.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I've just been having some second thoughts and I've been
Speaker 5: just too scared to talk to you about it.
Speaker 7: Okay, uh like, what what do you what do you mean?
Speaker 5: The thing is I'm having the thoughts and I don't
Speaker 5: know what to do about the thoughts, and and I
Speaker 5: don't want to. I don't want you to. I didn't
Speaker 5: want you to be hurt by this, which is why
Speaker 5: I was like resisting.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, babe, I just like I don't. I don't
Speaker 8: like this, Like I feel very nervous, Like I feel
Speaker 8: like you'd be better if you just told me.
Speaker 5: Mmm, okay, M, I don't know how to say this. Okay,
Speaker 5: So probably about three months ago I went to pick
Speaker 5: you up at the gym and I saw that you
Speaker 5: were playing basketball outside, and for me, I've always dreamed
Speaker 5: of having athletic children, and after watching you play basketball,
Speaker 5: I don't know. I'm not sure if that's possible.
Speaker 10: What that is?
Speaker 1: Not?
Speaker 2: A thing? That's not that's not it?
Speaker 7: What's going on?
Speaker 5: What? Who are all these people?
Speaker 4: What's happening these people that you're hearing. We're a radio
Speaker 4: show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Oh gosh, yeah,
Speaker 4: we hear with your future he's really good. Yeah that
Speaker 4: doesn't matter.
Speaker 9: It could matter to her if she prioritizes that high
Speaker 9: on her list of potential partners.
Speaker 2: I have a story that will change your mind. I
Speaker 2: promise going to be here for how much time do
Speaker 2: we help?
Speaker 4: Hold on everybody?
Speaker 7: I just I just want to say something. I like,
Speaker 7: I actually am really good at basketball, Like I've played
Speaker 7: all through high school.
Speaker 9: Everybody plays h Brooks on the volleyball team, on the
Speaker 9: c squad.
Speaker 5: So, Keith, I'm so sorry. I didn't know all these
Speaker 5: people were on this call. I wouldn't have said these
Speaker 5: things on the radio.
Speaker 2: That's what he wanted though.
Speaker 1: He wanted the truth out and sounded like you guys
Speaker 1: needed some help to start this conversation.
Speaker 9: I don't know if this is overstepping, but I feel
Speaker 9: like Keith has noticed a few things over the last
Speaker 9: several months that are pointing to you not wanting to
Speaker 9: say yes.
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm just hesitant, okay, because you're worried that
Speaker 5: someday you're going to have babies with Keith, and there's
Speaker 5: babies aren't going to be not able to dunk. I
Speaker 5: grew up playing sports. I always imagined being at sports
Speaker 5: with my kids and doing those type of things.
Speaker 2: And you can't know.
Speaker 1: That, Like there's no way to know, Like how your
Speaker 1: kids don't don't exist right now, are going to be
Speaker 1: in sports?
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 8: I saw him, Well, they'll get all the love and
Speaker 8: support I can give them.
Speaker 2: That, Okay, Like that is such a great response.
Speaker 1: And that's what you really want to look for, is
Speaker 1: someone that'll be a great father, not someone based on
Speaker 1: their athletic ability.
Speaker 9: I never heard Lila say anything about wanting her children
Speaker 9: to be loved or supported.
Speaker 4: She didn't bring it up.
Speaker 6: Supporting they get participation.
Speaker 2: Trooper, I'm sorry I'm doing it.
Speaker 1: But my best friend and Mary, one of the most
Speaker 1: unathletic people I have ever met in my life and friends.
Speaker 2: Oh no, he just that's what he is. He would
Speaker 2: admit that. And her kids are like elite basketball players.
Speaker 4: Well does that make you feel better?
Speaker 9: Lilah Brooke knows somebody who has kids and they turned
Speaker 9: out to be that's why they say, you don't know.
Speaker 5: Obviously, I don't want to force them to be anything,
Speaker 5: but like I would encourage sports and being athletic, and
Speaker 5: I don't know if that's possible.
Speaker 9: Okay, we're just word going to read between the lines.
Speaker 9: Instead of shooting more three pointers, you go for more
Speaker 9: layups during pick up basketball.
Speaker 7: All right.
Speaker 8: Well it's also a team sport, right, and I'm a
Speaker 8: great team player.
Speaker 9: Okay, so much of a team player. You never shoot
Speaker 9: the ball yourself, just keep passing.
Speaker 5: It, all right. I mean, of course we can talk
Speaker 5: more about this. I'm seeing that maybe as we're talking
Speaker 5: this out loud, that maybe there's still room for the possibility.
Speaker 4: There's a sliver of hope for you right there.
Speaker 9: So if I was you, I would propose in the
Speaker 9: next ten seconds and use the positive momentum to your advantage.
Speaker 4: This is not the time before you lose it. Keith,
Speaker 4: now or never.
Speaker 5: You don't have to propose right now, but I am
Speaker 5: more in joh.
Speaker 4: Your chance.
Speaker 2: It was right there.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yes, keep us updated down the line. What happens
Speaker 9: between you two and your relationship?
Speaker 7: Well do, Thanks so much.
Speaker 9: Just remember to stay away from any beaches, parks, fancy
Speaker 9: restaurants all of New York City and basketball court.
Speaker 1: And basketball it's freaking Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 9: Is anything more of a turnoff than an unathletic baby.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you you can't judge how athletic your kids
Speaker 3: are going to be.
Speaker 9: Well sure, but once once an unathletic child comes out,
Speaker 9: say what you will. But a baby drops his rattle
Speaker 9: and immediately I think, yikes, he's not going to the NFL.
Speaker 2: Baby doesn't come out with a six pack.
Speaker 4: Just disappointing.
Speaker 9: Look, I don't think we fixed this relationship by any
Speaker 9: means with this phone call, but at least we help
Speaker 9: them start the conversation so that they can talk about
Speaker 9: what they both.
Speaker 4: Really want to get out of a potential marriage. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it might not be.
Speaker 9: The same things but it's better to figure that out
Speaker 9: now than after you've got four unathletic children who can't
Speaker 9: do one pull up.
Speaker 1: Hey, but they could be good at theater, you know, yeah, instrument.
Speaker 8: There you go.
Speaker 2: Chess. Okay.
Speaker 4: Some people want loving, trusting partners.
Speaker 9: Other people want a Edick Bull who produces guaranteed NBA superstars.
Speaker 4: You're allowed to want that, Brook, Let the women want
Speaker 4: what they want.
Speaker 2: Its weird.
Speaker 4: Oh that's fine.
Speaker 9: If you want help with your dating life or you're
Speaker 9: approving that, Brook.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, then you can.
Speaker 9: Then you're safe to email our show and we'll help
Speaker 9: you out with an awkward Tuesday. And check all of
Speaker 9: our content out online where you get your podcasts at
