Speaker 1: All right, it's Tuesday, which means two things. We've got
Speaker 1: awkward Tuesday phone call today it's a brand new one,
Speaker 1: and we've got a brand new live video up of
Speaker 1: one of our second dates today, and.
Speaker 2: It's taco Tuesday. That's three things.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 1: I wasn't going to put that in there because it's
Speaker 1: not really our thing, but yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, but
Speaker 1: I do like to promote it as well. Go eat tacos,
Speaker 1: then go to Brook and Jeffery YouTube. Make sure you
Speaker 1: subscribe this stick around for this brand new episode, right yeah?
Speaker 4: Do we want to get in comments right now? Gotta say.
Speaker 4: Elijah Waina said on one of our second dates, I
Speaker 4: won't listen to this one. I will wait for the
Speaker 4: video version to come out first.
Speaker 2: You know what, some people may want to see it.
Speaker 4: Waited weeks and now one is up for you. So
Speaker 4: I hope it's the one you were hoping for. I hope.
Speaker 4: So toot back next week. Wait a minute, yeah, all right,
Speaker 4: your brand new episode starts right now.
Speaker 5: Hands in the room. Who here has been held for ransom?
Speaker 6: Not me?
Speaker 2: What? How about kidnapped?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: No, you're holding your hand up. Does that count?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 4: I think he just wants us to put off.
Speaker 1: I mean, I was by choice, that's not kidnapping, going
Speaker 1: with someone.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 2: I paid, I paid for it.
Speaker 4: You didn't know what it was happening.
Speaker 2: I know what's happening with the henchmen.
Speaker 5: Honestly, weren't quite what I was hoping to get, so
Speaker 5: I did ask for a partial refund.
Speaker 4: Too soft of hair.
Speaker 5: Yes, But the reason I bring it up is because
Speaker 5: we're dealing with a less serious emergency experience involving one
Speaker 5: of our listeners who says he is stuck in a
Speaker 5: foreign country and the only person who can help him
Speaker 5: won't answer her phone, and even worse, it's his girlfriend, yike.
Speaker 2: So we're going to.
Speaker 5: Try to step in and help in a special international
Speaker 5: version of the awkward Tuesday phone call right after this
Speaker 5: It's awkward.
Speaker 4: It's Tuesday.
Speaker 2: It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 5: We got an emergency email this morning from the Great
Speaker 5: White Noise, and it wasn't you.
Speaker 2: Explain that for people that don't know.
Speaker 5: It's not a Game of Thrones reference. No, it's from Canada.
Speaker 5: And the thing is it wasn't from an actual Canadian.
Speaker 5: It's an American named Corey who says.
Speaker 4: He's stuck in Canada.
Speaker 2: I really don't know a lot of the details here.
Speaker 5: So Corey, from here on out, Brooke is going to
Speaker 5: be your official hostage negotiators.
Speaker 2: So Brooke, go for it.
Speaker 1: I mean I maybe just stay yeah it, Corey, Welcome
Speaker 1: to the show Man.
Speaker 3: Hi.
Speaker 6: Thanks, you believe me. I'm considering just staying up here,
Speaker 6: but I would like some help before.
Speaker 2: I do that.
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, Well, what's going on? What made you email
Speaker 5: the show for help? You said that you're in a
Speaker 5: kind of a desperate situation.
Speaker 2: Should you be talking to the US embassy again?
Speaker 6: Not yet? Not yet, Coach. I have a long distance girlfriend.
Speaker 6: Her name of Stage.
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 6: I have a girlfriend who lives in Canada. But she's real.
Speaker 6: I swear.
Speaker 4: When you say she's real ized where you've touched her
Speaker 4: skin before.
Speaker 5: Yes, that's a weird way to phrase it's.
Speaker 4: But you can't say I've seen someone because you don't know.
Speaker 6: I have seen her in the flesh. She recently just
Speaker 6: stayed with me for a month. Okay, it's totally real.
Speaker 6: It was very recently. She came to visit with me.
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm sorry, tell me her name again.
Speaker 6: Sorry, her name is Sage.
Speaker 5: Okay, you're gonna have to say it seven more times
Speaker 5: throughout the course of this call.
Speaker 3: So.
Speaker 4: I canmell her now because her name, she's got.
Speaker 2: A word association.
Speaker 5: So you said recently, Sage stayed with you for a month.
Speaker 6: She stayed with me for a month. It was really nice.
Speaker 6: We went out to restaurants, we saw some sporting events,
Speaker 6: and like it was like we were regular dating. It
Speaker 6: was really nice.
Speaker 2: Did you do some of that skin touching that Brooke
Speaker 2: was talking about? Wow?
Speaker 4: Wow, important that you got to get a lot of
Speaker 4: that in because you're going to be not ye.
Speaker 6: Then yeah, I had had to make up her lost time.
Speaker 2: Okay, good for you, but I missed her.
Speaker 6: But you've went back home. So I decided that I
Speaker 6: wanted to surprise her, and I booked a flight the
Speaker 6: next day to her hometown.
Speaker 1: The next day, like the day she left, and the
Speaker 1: next day you booked a surprise flight to see her.
Speaker 2: I did.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 7: Right, She's not gonna expect you to boom be right there.
Speaker 4: Maybe she needed a break after a whole month.
Speaker 2: Some people would call you clingy, but not us. Do
Speaker 2: you think it's romantic?
Speaker 6: I appreciate your support.
Speaker 2: Guys, okay, well it's a nice gesture. So you flew
Speaker 2: to Canada.
Speaker 6: I flew to Canada and I go to her apartment
Speaker 6: and there's no answer. She's not home.
Speaker 1: Oh well, she's not expecting you didn't tell her, right,
Speaker 1: So it's fine.
Speaker 6: I hang around for a few hours and she never
Speaker 6: came back. So eventually I just went to a coffee
Speaker 6: shop and wait, did you not like.
Speaker 4: Call her during this time? And just ran in and
Speaker 4: be like, hey, what you doing?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Well, well eventually I did, right, So, like after a while,
Speaker 6: I texted her and I said, hey, what are you
Speaker 6: up to? Like, I didn't say that I was in Canada.
Speaker 5: She could be like, I'm out with a friend, and
Speaker 5: you're like, oh that's why.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm on a weekend get away with my mom.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, sure sure. But she didn't even answer, didn't
Speaker 6: text me back.
Speaker 4: Oh wait, well but it's Canada. There's a lot of
Speaker 4: spotty cell service.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, so she's not answering your texts.
Speaker 6: She's not. And then I tried calling. She's also not
Speaker 6: picking up the phone. So I went back to her
Speaker 6: place and I saw a light on in the window,
Speaker 6: and I ring the doorbell and then the light went off.
Speaker 2: Oh, she didn't pay her electric bill.
Speaker 5: The day is this?
Speaker 1: And is this an apartment where you can walk straight
Speaker 1: up to her door? Or are you buzzing in at
Speaker 1: the front?
Speaker 2: Oh, like at the gate or at.
Speaker 5: The These are the important details that we were Like,
Speaker 5: I'll tell you why.
Speaker 4: I think it's important because I want to know if
Speaker 4: she can see that you're out there, Like did she
Speaker 4: see you and then flip the light off? Oh, because
Speaker 4: if I don't use it my door, I'm shut off
Speaker 4: my lights and pretending.
Speaker 6: I'm not.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 6: Well, that's what I'm wondering, is if she saw me
Speaker 6: like on a on a ring cam or like a
Speaker 6: camera I didn't see her something like, I'm wondering if
Speaker 6: she's avoiding me, Like, I just don't know what's going on.
Speaker 4: So you're still there.
Speaker 2: I'm still here outside her apartment right now.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Well I'm not outside, No I'm not, but like
Speaker 6: I'm here, I'm in Canada and it's getting to the
Speaker 6: point where I just need to like get a hold
Speaker 6: of her and find out what's going on.
Speaker 4: How many times have you tried to call her?
Speaker 6: Like I've tried to call her three or four times?
Speaker 6: And that never happens, like it never happens that she
Speaker 6: just doesn't answer. We always answer each other or that
Speaker 6: quick text like I'm busy, I'll call.
Speaker 2: You in a little bit.
Speaker 4: You are so calm.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know she didn't know that you were
Speaker 1: coming in, but if I was in your position, I
Speaker 1: would be mad, dude.
Speaker 2: And you you us have so many thoughts going through.
Speaker 4: Your head, like like mad and sad and what are
Speaker 4: you feeling?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm more confused right now, and I just now
Speaker 6: want to know what is happening.
Speaker 5: Clearly something is up because she's acting or not even
Speaker 5: acting at all, not even responding to you.
Speaker 2: I'm finally home in my own bed sleep.
Speaker 4: You know, when you're on vacation for a while and
Speaker 4: you finally get back to your.
Speaker 2: Own bed, you go into like hibernation mode for two years.
Speaker 1: I'm just crossing my fingers for an automatic light timers.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well, whatever it is, we need to
Speaker 5: figure out a way to get you some answers or
Speaker 5: you'll be stuck in Canada for no reason.
Speaker 2: You're Canadian.
Speaker 4: I think he can go home.
Speaker 2: I don't think so. Oh okay, I've heard it's like
Speaker 2: a prison, but.
Speaker 5: I don't know negotiation anyway, we need to think of
Speaker 5: some advice to give you if we can get your
Speaker 5: girlfriend to answer the phone so you can figure out
Speaker 5: what is going on with your long distance boo when
Speaker 5: we come back and do your awkward Tuesday phone call
Speaker 5: in Canada right after this, hold on, it's awkward.
Speaker 4: It's Tuesday.
Speaker 2: It's awkward. Used a phone call.
Speaker 5: We've got Corey on the phone who is making a
Speaker 5: long distance call from Canada as we speak.
Speaker 2: So let's make sure we dragged this out as long
Speaker 2: as possible.
Speaker 1: Cell phone bill, I think it's usually free between when
Speaker 1: you travel back and forth.
Speaker 2: Is that what your cell phone company told you?
Speaker 1: It is no good, You're good, You should be fine.
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll see. This is what we know. Corey is
Speaker 2: an American.
Speaker 5: His long distance Canadian girlfriend, Sage, stayed with him for
Speaker 5: a month recently, and they had such a great time
Speaker 5: that the day after she went home, Corey hopped on
Speaker 5: a plane to go surprise her in her hometown. Yes,
Speaker 5: so he's there right now, been to her place several times.
Speaker 2: She's not answering the.
Speaker 4: Door, but she is turning the light off.
Speaker 5: On and then off as soon as the doorbell rings,
Speaker 5: so that's a little suspicious. And now she won't even
Speaker 5: pick up his calls or his text so something is
Speaker 5: definitely up.
Speaker 2: And we never really discussed this in the first part.
Speaker 5: But how many of us, in the back of their
Speaker 5: minds thought she could be cheating where she has a
Speaker 5: Canadian boyfriend and Corey is her hot young American side
Speaker 5: piece below the border.
Speaker 2: That's what I thought.
Speaker 7: But I project from the thousands and thousands of second
Speaker 7: dates I've heard.
Speaker 4: Oh, she's definitely got something that up.
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, I might need a break from him after
Speaker 6: a month.
Speaker 4: Like we said, I mean area codes, why not country codes?
Speaker 2: Yeah, different bros and country codes.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you guys are making me worried. I'm getting really nervous.
Speaker 4: How are you not already jumping?
Speaker 6: Well I am. Look, I'm already nervous. But I don't know.
Speaker 6: I guess I just never considered that she might have
Speaker 6: another guy.
Speaker 5: Well, we don't want to put you like not at
Speaker 5: ease here. We want to help you. So we need
Speaker 5: to give you some advice. Brooke, what do you think
Speaker 5: he needs to keep in mind?
Speaker 1: Well, everything we just brought up I want you to ignore, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe a lot of the signs are pointing that way
Speaker 1: right now, but those are all assumptions. And when we
Speaker 1: get her on the phone, you need to go from
Speaker 1: the very beginning that feeling of excitement and joy to
Speaker 1: see her.
Speaker 4: Right, this is a fun surprise.
Speaker 6: Yes, hey, yeah, well, I mean that's what it's supposed
Speaker 6: to be.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 1: And if you come in all accusatory, like who are you,
Speaker 1: why aren't you doing this? And why don't you pick
Speaker 1: up on my phone, You're gonna come off as a
Speaker 1: crazy stalker.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Even if you hear Drake in the background of the phone.
Speaker 5: Call when she answers, you need to pretend like nothing
Speaker 5: weird has happened.
Speaker 2: Did recently drop an album? He could be around something
Speaker 2: and I heard he likes it with the lights off,
Speaker 2: so not to say.
Speaker 5: It'd be so Drake got candles everywhere anyway. I don't
Speaker 5: know if any of this advice is actually helpful to you, Corey,
Speaker 5: but it's the best that we got.
Speaker 6: Well, it's good to stay positive and remember that everything's
Speaker 6: not necessarily a disaster.
Speaker 2: That's thinking like a true Canadian. Well done, right there, Okay,
Speaker 2: no matter.
Speaker 4: What happens, she'll apologize for it. Yeah right, see what
Speaker 4: they do on that.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna start dialing her number and we'll step away
Speaker 5: and let you make your awkward call.
Speaker 2: Good luck. Oh yes, dialing international, this is weird. Okay,
Speaker 2: just give me a second. Here we go.
Speaker 6: Hello, oh baby, Oh my god, you answered the phone.
Speaker 6: Thank God, it's me. Hi, Hi, it's me.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Oh no, I mean are you are? Are you okay?
Speaker 6: I mean I've been calling you and texting you and
Speaker 6: you haven't been answering, So I just Hi, What's what's
Speaker 6: going on?
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I've seen your calls and your messages.
Speaker 3: I've just been taking some time to myself after my
Speaker 3: trips down to you and stuff.
Speaker 6: Well, I don't I just missed you. And well, I
Speaker 6: mean look, I guess I gotta I guess I gotta
Speaker 6: come clean. Uh so, babe, I after you spent your
Speaker 6: month with me, I loved every minute of it, and
Speaker 6: so I wanted to surprise you, and I I came
Speaker 6: to Canada. I'm here right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I know.
Speaker 6: Oh you you know?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw you on my ring camera.
Speaker 6: Okay, Well, I mean what's going on? I mean, is
Speaker 6: there like another guy? Like my friends told me? Just
Speaker 6: to be optimistic and positive because I thought our time
Speaker 6: was so great together.
Speaker 3: No, I mean it was great and there's no other guy.
Speaker 3: I really did enjoy our months together. But I think
Speaker 3: he needs to go back to the States.
Speaker 6: Well what why do I need to go back to
Speaker 6: the States.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 6: I don't understand.
Speaker 3: On the plane ride back home for me, I wrote
Speaker 3: you a letter and I mailed it once I landed
Speaker 3: and it should be driving to you hopefully soon. And
Speaker 3: I just need you to go back to the States
Speaker 3: and read the letter and then you can come back
Speaker 3: to Canada if you want. But it's really important that
Speaker 3: you read the letter first.
Speaker 6: Uh, trying trying to dig, trying to stay optimistic, but
Speaker 6: I mean that sounds like a some a lot like
Speaker 6: a breakup letter.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just it's important for you to just
Speaker 3: go back to the States and read the letter before
Speaker 3: anything else.
Speaker 6: Well what why, Because Corey, we're from two different countries literally.
Speaker 3: And it's just I saw how much you loved your hometown,
Speaker 3: all the home things that you have to offer, and
Speaker 3: I love Canada. I'm not going to leave my home
Speaker 3: and I know you're not going to leave your home.
Speaker 3: So just go back home, read the letter, Understand what's
Speaker 3: in the letter.
Speaker 6: Okay, well let me propose something because I'm kind of
Speaker 6: pulling a John Cusack under your window right now. So
Speaker 6: can you maybe like just tell me what's in the
Speaker 6: letter and we can have that whole conversation. Quicker, what you're.
Speaker 4: At your apartment?
Speaker 2: Yeah, the John Cusack reference wasn't very strong. Yeah, you
Speaker 2: got to explain that a little bit.
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, I mean I walked back over.
Speaker 3: I'm just corri wait wait, wait, wait, Corey, what's going on.
Speaker 2: I think she's hearing us, Corey. Oh yeah, she can
Speaker 2: hear us.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 6: I'm so sorry. I didn't know what to do, and
Speaker 6: you weren't answering. So it's like a radio show and
Speaker 6: people they call people and then people answer and call.
Speaker 7: It in the morning, good morning, Hi, Hi, Hey, Sorry,
Speaker 7: this is awkward.
Speaker 6: I just didn't know what to do, babe, And like
Speaker 6: I really care about you, and I mean I I
Speaker 6: know we'd like talked about like moving to the US,
Speaker 6: and I mean, what's wrong with us? Like I thought
Speaker 6: we had a great time, Like we we went to
Speaker 6: sporting events, went to the cheesecake I took you to Applebee's, babe,
Speaker 6: you showed it all our secrets.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I dare you to find one bad thing about
Speaker 5: the United States of America.
Speaker 4: That's where his mistake was.
Speaker 5: Okay, sorry, we're I know we're joking around, especially.
Speaker 4: Because Canada has most of those changes.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but Corey obviously feels very strongly about you.
Speaker 2: He's there right now.
Speaker 3: I mean, like I said to him, he's a great guy.
Speaker 3: We had a great time. But everything that I need
Speaker 3: to say is in the letter. I'm not gonna air
Speaker 3: everything out with the radio station. Like this is just bonkers,
Speaker 3: Like is this what you Americans do? Like? I just
Speaker 3: I like can't understand.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we do like kind of weird stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we don't like privacy.
Speaker 2: And also letters are not really our thing.
Speaker 4: So no, but that's nice.
Speaker 1: I mean, at least she's like thinking about it now
Speaker 1: instead of a year into this or two years into
Speaker 1: this where suddenly you realize she won't move.
Speaker 6: Look, babe, you're you're so important to me. What what
Speaker 6: if we flip the difference. Let's hang out in Mexico.
Speaker 4: I like it. I mean, say, do you have a
Speaker 4: lot better tan there?
Speaker 5: I've always thought right in the middle of United States
Speaker 5: and Canada was Mexico the gap, remember geography, not American
Speaker 5: strong suits.
Speaker 3: You know, guys, I really appreciate you trying for Corey
Speaker 3: and I to get back together or whatever by honestly,
Speaker 3: like I've already said too much that I've wanted to
Speaker 3: say already. It's in the letter. That's all I'm gonna say.
Speaker 3: He needs to go back to the States and just
Speaker 3: leave me in Canada.
Speaker 2: This letter, Yeah, I want to read it.
Speaker 4: I think it's just gonna be sad.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't think you want to Yeah, I'm not
Speaker 6: really looking forward to reading this letter. I gotta be honest,
Speaker 6: except your face.
Speaker 4: Just maybe before the letter, go get some ice cream.
Speaker 2: Put on some drake.
Speaker 6: Yeah I would. I would normally go to a cheesecake factory,
Speaker 6: but that's kind of ruined.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 4: One girl did it for you?
Speaker 1: Dang?
Speaker 5: Okay, well, Sage, I mean we appreciate you answering and
Speaker 5: opening up to us and being honest.
Speaker 4: Gotta respect that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a classic Canadian many super friendly.
Speaker 4: Yeah, direct to the point.
Speaker 2: Want to kidding know, I kind of want to date
Speaker 2: stage now. Hey, I'm getting I'm getting for.
Speaker 5: You and Jeffrey in the morning, is it just me
Speaker 5: or did you get the vibe that the intimacy wasn't
Speaker 5: great between them?
Speaker 2: Oh the phone. It is weird that she stayed.
Speaker 5: With him for a month and then immediately after she's like,
Speaker 5: I gotta dump this.
Speaker 4: SUFF think that it could be the other way around.
Speaker 1: It could have been so good that she's like, this
Speaker 1: is amazing, but I can't move for this.
Speaker 5: Yeah, be honest, he sounded like a me first type
Speaker 5: of guy, or it's like I'll get to you after
Speaker 5: I got mine.
Speaker 2: No, talking about this was not part of the Probably
Speaker 2: are you kidding?
Speaker 5: You told me that outside the studio you said, you said,
Speaker 5: he sounds selfish in bed, don't you.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I hate when you do this.
Speaker 5: You set me up, you tell me things off the air,
Speaker 5: and then act like you didn't.
Speaker 2: I did not, you said. I bet she's never even
Speaker 2: went once.
Speaker 4: I never even thought that. He never even thought of.
Speaker 2: Oh, you just need to read the letter. I'm sure
Speaker 2: it's all that.
Speaker 4: Maybe there's a diagram in the letter of what he
Speaker 4: could have done better.
Speaker 5: I do feel bad about how that played out though,
Speaker 5: that that was tragic to hear, but it does.
Speaker 2: Sound like it's probably the best for both of the
Speaker 2: moving forward and.
Speaker 4: A guy when he's down.
