Speaker 1: your mental health so much better.
Speaker 2: It's like, who do we petition? I don't know for
Speaker 2: the four day we're targeting for that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know that we have enough pull, but
Speaker 1: but today we do have a brand new awkward Tuesday
Speaker 1: phone call for you to start your short work week.
Speaker 2: Yes, you're here. We love all your messages.
Speaker 1: I did spend some time reading through them over the
Speaker 1: weekend and replying to as many as I could.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you say to look at tattooed Barbie said?
Speaker 3: The worst date I've ever been on ended with the
Speaker 3: dude peeing in front of my car, or what he
Speaker 3: insisted was the front of my car, not on the
Speaker 3: front of my car.
Speaker 2: Yeah, looking at the tire and accident.
Speaker 3: Oh oh, and the date's even worse than that. If
Speaker 3: you need a story for an episode.
Speaker 4: Sounds like a grown Yeah.
Speaker 1: If you ever want to be on the show, all
Speaker 1: you have to go is to Brook and Jeffrey dot com.
Speaker 2: And there's there.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to your brand new awkward Tuesday
Speaker 1: phone call right now.
Speaker 5: There's certain rites of passage that every boy must go
Speaker 5: through in order to become a man, like first time
Speaker 5: grilling a steak over an open flame, learning to.
Speaker 4: Shave with a razor.
Speaker 5: I still remember learning to shave with a butcher's knife.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, don't do that.
Speaker 5: And then, of course performing your first original song at
Speaker 5: your own bar mitzvah, which.
Speaker 6: Try to.
Speaker 5: This song doesn't scream masculinity at you.
Speaker 4: I don't know what does.
Speaker 5: But today one of our listeners is facing an even
Speaker 5: bigger life moment for any man, and the only thing
Speaker 5: standing in his way is his girlfriend's very scary, very
Speaker 5: traditional father. You're gonna understand why he's so terrified of
Speaker 5: calling him when we do your brand new awkward Tuesday
Speaker 5: phone call right after this.
Speaker 4: It's awkward. It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 5: On this show, we've been there and helped people through
Speaker 5: some pretty big life moments. Yeah for sure, Brook's wedding,
Speaker 5: Jose's Dirty thirty. We even had to help our technical
Speaker 5: director Ashton with his adult circumcision.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I think it was just you.
Speaker 5: That was there for his I was in the hospital
Speaker 5: and holding his hand through the entire procedure.
Speaker 4: Ashton was really happy about that.
Speaker 2: It sounds funny.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So we've been there for each other, and we're ready
Speaker 5: to be there for our listeners too during their big
Speaker 5: life moments, like today's caller Garrett, who reached out seeking
Speaker 5: our wise counsel. So, Garrett, welcome to the show.
Speaker 7: Hey guys, thanks for having me?
Speaker 5: Or are you here row sort of surgery that you're
Speaker 5: seeking help with?
Speaker 8: No, no surgery, guys, But honestly, I've been dating my
Speaker 8: girlfriend Sienna for.
Speaker 7: Almost two years.
Speaker 9: Uh huh, Okay, I just feel like now is the time.
Speaker 9: So I'm looking to propose her.
Speaker 4: You want to do it on our show?
Speaker 7: Well, I know how I want to do it.
Speaker 2: Oh, it doesn't sound like that's okay?
Speaker 4: Not with that?
Speaker 7: You know what?
Speaker 4: Are we just helping? Don't blame you for that.
Speaker 2: I hope she doesn't listen. What if she hears that,
Speaker 2: you'll you'll ruin the surprise.
Speaker 7: No, she doesn't listen to you, guys. Sorry, she's kind
Speaker 7: of into other stuff.
Speaker 2: Wow, and you still want to marry your interesting to
Speaker 2: marry her?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, flag number one. Okay, I'm smart.
Speaker 5: So what made you come to us about like an
Speaker 5: awkward call? What do you need help with?
Speaker 9: So she goes from a very traditional family where they
Speaker 9: expect you to kind of ask the dad's permission.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 1: I don't even come from a traditional family, and my
Speaker 1: husband didn't do this, and it's still kind of to
Speaker 1: this day.
Speaker 4: And I would ask a girl's dad.
Speaker 1: He's so close with my dad, they have such a
Speaker 1: good relationship.
Speaker 2: I'm like, how did you skip that?
Speaker 4: Is it too late for him to ask your dad?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 2: My dad may take him over me.
Speaker 5: Okay, well there's an option for you. But it sounds like, Garrett,
Speaker 5: this is really important. You want to talk to the
Speaker 5: dad before you pop the question to your girlfriend.
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 8: Absolutely, And I'm kind of very nervous about that.
Speaker 1: I mean, wait, what kind of relationship do you have
Speaker 1: with her dad?
Speaker 7: We're pretty cool. I've met him a couple of times
Speaker 7: and hung out and stuff.
Speaker 5: So I think it's natural for a lot of guys
Speaker 5: to be nervous about talking to the dad about this subject.
Speaker 4: I don't think that's out of the norm. You want
Speaker 4: them to like you, and you want them to say yes. Right.
Speaker 5: Wait, if the dad says no, then you can't marry
Speaker 5: the daughter, right.
Speaker 9: How well?
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm just I'm curious. Are you worried that
Speaker 5: he might say no to you?
Speaker 7: Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 8: Apparently the two guys that Sanna dated before me already
Speaker 8: did this, and her dad no to both of them.
Speaker 2: Wait, got engaged twice before.
Speaker 7: That's its own pay.
Speaker 2: Don't be judge, alexis okay? Something they get asked a.
Speaker 4: Lot hot commodity?
Speaker 5: Yeah, so your dad said no to her previous boyfriends
Speaker 5: that asked so.
Speaker 9: Yeah, her dad said no to both. And here's the
Speaker 9: other thing too. Both of those relationships ended up breaking
Speaker 9: it up afterwards.
Speaker 5: That was the final is he's just gonna say no
Speaker 5: to everybody or he truly is, Like, I want my
Speaker 5: daughter to get married, but these guys aren't the one. Yeah,
Speaker 5: do you know why the dad said no to the
Speaker 5: other guys? Did that come up?
Speaker 7: You know?
Speaker 8: Apparently he tests the guys by giving them a difficult
Speaker 8: hypothetical situations and seeing how they respond.
Speaker 5: If my daughter was a lamp, Yeah, how would you
Speaker 5: take care? Guy?
Speaker 2: Sounds exhausted?
Speaker 4: Yeah, sound traditional.
Speaker 1: As a good father, what you'd want is for your
Speaker 1: daughter to be even if she's making a mistake, like
Speaker 1: you support the people you love through that mistake at.
Speaker 4: Least one time.
Speaker 1: Wow, no, wonder you're nervous.
Speaker 8: Okay, well yeah, and like one of these hypothetical questions
Speaker 8: he likes to ask involves bears.
Speaker 4: Bears like the animal bears.
Speaker 9: Right, and he's an outdoorsy type of guy, so you know,
Speaker 9: I don't.
Speaker 7: Know if he wants to make sure we know how
Speaker 7: to protect his daughter.
Speaker 1: Okay, well I'm going to tell you. If it's a
Speaker 1: black bear, make yourself big. If it's a grizzly, just.
Speaker 4: Look, why are you giving your advice so early here?
Speaker 4: I mean, we need to save this report.
Speaker 5: I'm curious what to do about im polar bears, So
Speaker 5: save that.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, there's the whole saying for it. Brown down, black,
Speaker 3: fight back, white lights again, we're blowing all.
Speaker 2: I want to know what to do with that.
Speaker 4: Yeah what anyway?
Speaker 5: What advice are you looking for from? Are you actually
Speaker 5: looking for bear knowledge?
Speaker 7: I'm just really nervous to do this by myself.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 7: I tried to read up on it Google, but Brook,
Speaker 7: I mean you probably know some bear facts, right, No,
Speaker 7: I mean she got your back?
Speaker 1: Do you not know the actual hypothetical they were given
Speaker 1: because I can't imagine him just going, what's your bear advice?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good boy.
Speaker 9: I just know he does hypothetical sometimes he throws bears
Speaker 9: in there.
Speaker 7: You know, I really don't have a lot to go
Speaker 7: off on.
Speaker 2: He may switch it up and stuff.
Speaker 1: This is gonna be hard for me. I can't stand
Speaker 1: weirdly protective dads.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's so weird again, Brook, this is
Speaker 5: not a show just about you and what your preferences are.
Speaker 5: This is about our listeners and what they need from us.
Speaker 2: I know, I'm just thinking out loud about yeah.
Speaker 5: Don't, don't, don't do any of those things. It's all
Speaker 5: bad thoughts that are coming out right now. Let's think
Speaker 5: of some good advice.
Speaker 9: Imagine if we could get her yes, and she can
Speaker 9: finally get married, Yeah, and.
Speaker 2: She get married regarding.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well yeah, but it sounds like this would help.
Speaker 5: Clearly she values her dad's opinion on the man that
Speaker 5: she dates. So we need to come back with something
Speaker 5: solid to give to Garrett here.
Speaker 4: To make sure.
Speaker 5: That his girlfriend's dad doesn't say no when he asks.
Speaker 4: To marry his daughter.
Speaker 7: The dad.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we are calling the dad. That's what you're saying, right, yeah, okay, okay,
Speaker 5: I'm kind of nervous to he's as intimidating as he
Speaker 5: actually sounds. Now we'll have some advice for you, and
Speaker 5: then we'll call this dad and let you ask him
Speaker 5: when you're awkward Tuesday phone call right after this.
Speaker 7: All right, thanks guys, All right, man, hold.
Speaker 4: On, it's awkward.
Speaker 5: It's awkward Tuesday phone call. If you're just joining us,
Speaker 5: we're either about to witness a really sweet moment between
Speaker 5: a young man and his future father in law or
Speaker 5: a really awkward moment between a father and the who's
Speaker 5: not good enough to marry his daughter.
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean, because that's why.
Speaker 5: That's what's on the line today, because our listener Garrett
Speaker 5: needs help calling his girlfriend's dad to get his blessing
Speaker 5: to propose to her, which.
Speaker 1: Sounds easy until you learn he told the last two
Speaker 1: dudes no.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because it sounds like he's more of a traditional
Speaker 5: old school type of dad who's denied multiple proposal requests
Speaker 5: from past boyfriends, and all that Garrett knows is that
Speaker 5: he likes to ask hypothetical questions, possibly on the topic
Speaker 5: of bears.
Speaker 1: Apparently, his girlfriend just goes along with whatever her dad says.
Speaker 1: You know, it's really important to her.
Speaker 4: Relationships ended after the No.
Speaker 5: That's why Garrett needs our advice before making the call.
Speaker 4: So, Brooke, what do you have for him?
Speaker 2: God?
Speaker 1: You know, I grew up around a lot of these
Speaker 1: type of dads.
Speaker 2: It wasn't my dad, But what I've.
Speaker 1: Learned is you need to talk less, you need to
Speaker 1: listen more. You need to just tell them great things
Speaker 1: about themselves.
Speaker 2: Maybe ask for.
Speaker 1: A good story about their past, you know, and.
Speaker 2: Like his glory days. These type of guys for that
Speaker 2: you play football in high school.
Speaker 4: Thank you. That's a strategy for you there, Garrett, what
Speaker 4: do you think?
Speaker 7: Yeah? I can try that all right, that's good.
Speaker 4: Little nugget there, Jose what advice do you have?
Speaker 5: Well, he's a dad, so what do all dads like
Speaker 5: dad jokes?
Speaker 4: Brooke to give you.
Speaker 5: Started out by saying, what's the difference between a hippo
Speaker 5: and a zippo?
Speaker 4: One's really heavy and the others a little lighter. Did
Speaker 4: you write that down?
Speaker 7: Garrett?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm not sure he's the jokey type of dad,
Speaker 9: like he's inside.
Speaker 7: Of all dads.
Speaker 5: But okay, here my serious advice then, would be just
Speaker 5: to show him respect by calling him by his last name.
Speaker 7: Already do that, so I'll just keep doing it.
Speaker 2: That's how he introduced himself to you.
Speaker 5: Wild Let's see how this goes. If he picks up,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna dial his number right now. But you got this, Garrett?
Speaker 7: Okay, all right, thanks guys, we said you got this.
Speaker 2: You gotta go in with confidence, the sense fear. These
Speaker 2: type of dads.
Speaker 5: Don't think of him as your scary father in law.
Speaker 5: This is going to be like your best bud.
Speaker 2: I don't know about that.
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, never mind, there is real.
Speaker 6: Hold on Hello.
Speaker 7: Yeah, uh yeah, I'm mister, Yeah he do. Yeah, this
Speaker 7: is Garrett, Siana's boyfriend.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Garrett. Okay, yeah, no time you are, just don't
Speaker 6: call me, just call me.
Speaker 9: Okay, But I mean, I'm just trying to show respect.
Speaker 7: It's important.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's all fine. Well, call me mister makes me
Speaker 6: seem like an old so I don't need that, So
Speaker 6: just just just just call me Larry. How that can
Speaker 6: you do that?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 7: All right, sir?
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, buddy, what do you call me about?
Speaker 8: So you know, Cianna and I have been together for
Speaker 8: a while now and you know, I really really liked
Speaker 8: your daughter a lot, and uh, I'd really love to
Speaker 8: kind of take our relationship to the next step.
Speaker 7: What are you gonna do?
Speaker 6: Then? You're gonna take her on a trip? Is that
Speaker 6: the deal?
Speaker 7: No? No? Uh? More like ask her to marry me?
Speaker 7: Really well, and I just wanted to be respectful.
Speaker 9: You know, it's important to get your permission first, out
Speaker 9: of respect.
Speaker 6: MM. So you want to marry my daughter? Right?
Speaker 7: It would be my honor, sir?
Speaker 6: Well, it would be just ask you a question, please
Speaker 6: do sir?
Speaker 7: I'm ready? Fine, all right.
Speaker 6: Well, well, let's say that you two get married and
Speaker 6: my daughter is treated unfairly at work. How do you
Speaker 6: respond to that? H?
Speaker 7: What do you mean?
Speaker 6: Uhh you know? I mean do you stand by her?
Speaker 6: Do you confront her boss?
Speaker 7: You know?
Speaker 6: Do you encourage her to get a new job? What's
Speaker 6: your move? Dude?
Speaker 9: H sir, with all due respect, where's the bear?
Speaker 6: What? What? What bear?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 9: Sianna just said that the two guys before me, who
Speaker 9: you know, asked your permissi to marry her both of
Speaker 9: them failed.
Speaker 7: A question about bears.
Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure she should screwed with you.
Speaker 7: Wait? Wait, what what do you what are you talking about?
Speaker 6: The first guy who asked me, I said no because
Speaker 6: he was a damn mouth breather. And the second one
Speaker 6: he was one of them pony boys.
Speaker 7: Wait what Well, you know though.
Speaker 6: You know those grown men will like to dress up
Speaker 6: and horse out hit like the kid's cartoons. Yeah, and
Speaker 6: he kept wanting me to call him apple Jack.
Speaker 7: That name though.
Speaker 6: Well, what's going on? What's going on here?
Speaker 7: Sir?
Speaker 5: You're on the radio right now with a show We're
Speaker 5: called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning, and.
Speaker 2: Man, can your daughter pick him?
Speaker 7: All right?
Speaker 6: Would you like to explain what the hell's going on here?
Speaker 2: Budge?
Speaker 9: Yes, yeah, sir, it's not going well. I ended up
Speaker 9: just trying to get some advice here because I thought
Speaker 9: you were going to ask about bears, and I wanted
Speaker 9: to be able to answer your question. So this was
Speaker 9: the most logical choice for me to give these guys
Speaker 9: a call and ask their advice.
Speaker 4: We're called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 5: He was really nervous about asking your permission to not
Speaker 5: your permission, but for your blessing to marry his daughter
Speaker 5: because he's heard it hasn't gone well in the past.
Speaker 1: And it matters to him because he knows that your daughter,
Speaker 1: which is sweet, she means a lot to him.
Speaker 6: You know, Garrett, Look, just tell me this. You're not
Speaker 6: going to be a problem for me, are you now?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 7: No, sir, No, sir, not not at all.
Speaker 2: What would be a problem for you?
Speaker 4: You don't dress up in horse outfits, now, do you? Garrett?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 7: I don't.
Speaker 4: Okay, there you go.
Speaker 7: Check this box up.
Speaker 2: That could have been a good guy that she missed
Speaker 2: out on.
Speaker 1: I mean, he sounds like he was a sensitive one.
Speaker 4: Larry doesn't approve of that.
Speaker 5: But what do you think about Garrett as a potential
Speaker 5: future son in law?
Speaker 4: To you?
Speaker 6: Well, he's a good kid's you can tell he's a
Speaker 6: little skittish.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean very much. The potential is there.
Speaker 6: He's very respectful and all that stuff. I appreciate that,
Speaker 6: and I don't mean to make fun of him, but
Speaker 6: because it's easy, but.
Speaker 2: I can't appreciate that.
Speaker 5: Garrett.
Speaker 6: You can definitely ask her. Quite honestly, you're the only
Speaker 6: normal one she's ever brought around.
Speaker 2: Even though you never answered your question.
Speaker 6: No, I do have a question for him, So just
Speaker 6: tell me this first. It's you come home from work
Speaker 6: and there's a bear in the house. What are you
Speaker 6: gonna do?
Speaker 7: Question? Uh uh? I think if it's brown, you lie down.
Speaker 1: Or maybe don't go into the house to be getting
Speaker 1: Is there a bear in the house?
Speaker 6: Understand, But I'm just with you.
Speaker 1: Between you and your daughter, you're gonna tear Garrett apart.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he does have a good sense of humor.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I bet the dad joke.
Speaker 7: Would have worked.
Speaker 6: Bro, what dad joke?
Speaker 7: Hold on here, Garrett?
Speaker 4: Do you remember the joke?
Speaker 7: Oh? What? What is it?
Speaker 4: The what's the difference between hipo and a zippo?
Speaker 7: One's a little lighter?
Speaker 5: I got it.
Speaker 4: You're gonna be You're gonna be a great husband one.
Speaker 2: Day, Jared.
Speaker 1: Freaking Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 5: You know, that was actually kind of heartwarming in the end.
Speaker 2: It was actually really cute.
Speaker 1: Larry was d he was yeah, and apparently his daughter
Speaker 1: is too if she was trolling him with that baron
Speaker 1: the entire time.
Speaker 4: That's pretty funny.
Speaker 5: That was hilarious, And I hope that he keeps us
Speaker 5: updated on what happens when he does pop the question.
Speaker 5: I'm guessing she'll say yes.
Speaker 1: I feel like he's going to be so scared it's
Speaker 1: going to be in another three years.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he definitely has a lot of nerves in there.
Speaker 5: But I just hope that Brooke, whenever your daughter is
Speaker 5: old enough that she comes to us for the awkward
Speaker 5: Tuesday phone call for anything in her life.
Speaker 2: So that she can ask for the blessing of the family.
Speaker 5: No, just any problems that she's facing, Like if she
Speaker 5: wants to know how to tell your mom politely, she
Speaker 5: shouldn't dance anymore at parties.
Speaker 4: She should feel free to come to us with that.
Speaker 2: She tells me that not politely, Jeff, she forgot it.
Speaker 5: Better way, Or how to ask your mom? How do
Speaker 5: I find my real father without hurting mom's feelings?
Speaker 4: We know, Yeah, we have a.
Speaker 2: Whole network of pe She looks nothing like her dad.
Speaker 5: I'm just to all the children out there listening who
Speaker 5: are growing into young adults about to face life's problems.
Speaker 5: We are here for you when the time comes, crash
Speaker 5: your parents car, how to tell them, Yeah, awkward Tuesday,
Speaker 5: whatever it is.
Speaker 2: I feel like we got a three way Larry on.
Speaker 2: Some of these.
Speaker 5: Use his wisdom, but the first step to any successful
Speaker 5: life is hitting subscribe on, Brookie Jeffreys.
Speaker 4: So if you haven't done it. Smashed that subscribe button.
