Speaker 1: Hey, is Brook and Jeffrey in the morning, and we're
Speaker 1: trying something brand new today on your Second Date podcast.
Speaker 1: But first we want to take a moment and say
Speaker 1: thank you to all of our listeners who showed up
Speaker 1: for our YouTube live session yesterday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we try to.
Speaker 1: Go live more often. So if you aren't following the
Speaker 1: show on all of the socials, it's at Brook and Jeffrey.
Speaker 1: If you aren't already on YouTube, it's YouTube dot com
Speaker 1: slash Brook and Jeffrey very creatively named handles. You can't
Speaker 1: find this, yeah, and then be disappointed with how we
Speaker 1: look there.
Speaker 3: It is basically how it goes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but today today we heard you guys like the awkwardness.
Speaker 1: You guys for commenting you want more of them, So
Speaker 1: here we go. You're getting what you asked for. Today
Speaker 1: is awkward Thursday. It's brand new. I don't know if
Speaker 1: we'll ever do Awkward Thursday again, but see, we'll see
Speaker 1: what type of response is solicit. So it starts right now.
Speaker 2: Drama before a wedding. Is it even possible? Yes, jeff Yes,
Speaker 2: it is very much on this show.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 5: In fact, one of our listeners is just weeks away
Speaker 5: from tying the Nott and she's come to us with
Speaker 5: a huge regret after something happened between her and a
Speaker 5: close guy friend while they were partying together.
Speaker 1: What it is.
Speaker 5: It's not what you'd think, Okay, okay, but it is
Speaker 5: probably worse, and she is desperate to reverse what's already
Speaker 5: been done. You're gonna find out when we talked to
Speaker 5: her in a brand new awkward call coming up next.
Speaker 5: It's awkward, It's Thursday.
Speaker 2: It's Thursday.
Speaker 1: Professional imaging done.
Speaker 5: Is nice to do a brand new segment every once
Speaker 5: in a while on this show with an exciting idea
Speaker 5: never done before.
Speaker 1: On radio, I mean never done since Tuesday.
Speaker 5: Yeah, with extremely high production imaging made by the finest
Speaker 5: engineers and vocal artists on this plan.
Speaker 3: Hey, you know that.
Speaker 1: There's no AI on this show.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 5: Here's something like that and it brings us to this,
Speaker 5: the first ever Awkward Thursday phone call.
Speaker 1: A lot of listeners happy. We've been getting requests on
Speaker 1: the podcast feed to do it Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Speaker 1: and Friday.
Speaker 2: That makes sense.
Speaker 5: Things are just too awkward in the world right now,
Speaker 5: and we had to add more awkward calls a special
Speaker 5: one for this because one of our listeners reached out
Speaker 5: seeking our help with her upcoming wedding.
Speaker 2: So her name is Brittany.
Speaker 5: Brittany, First of all, how does it feel to know
Speaker 5: you're going to be making radio history with the first
Speaker 5: ever awkward Thursday phone call?
Speaker 1: No one will forget this moment.
Speaker 4: Wow, I get honored. I guess you, britt.
Speaker 5: We're honored to have you. So apparently you've got a
Speaker 5: wedding coming up. They're usually such low effort, drama free events.
Speaker 5: I'm not sure why in the world you would need
Speaker 5: our help, But what's going on?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Are you the bride? I am congratulations, Thank you. I'm
Speaker 4: super excited. And it's three weeks away. So yeah, it's
Speaker 4: coming up, and it's crazy. I haven't had any drama.
Speaker 4: I know you were saying that as a joke, but
Speaker 4: until one of my guy friends, like this happened with
Speaker 4: a guy friend, which I was surprised about.
Speaker 1: Oh interesting, that's not who I would pin the drama on.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, a guy friend. Who's in your wedding party?
Speaker 5: Or who is this friend?
Speaker 4: Just a friend of mine? Like he's you know, I've
Speaker 4: known since college, so he's just in my group of friends. Okay,
Speaker 4: and I guess this is like a month ago. We
Speaker 4: all kind of went out for not really like a
Speaker 4: bachelorette but kind of like an unofficial bachelorette celebration, you know,
Speaker 4: just to kind of celebrate my wedding.
Speaker 1: Okay, like a big group of your friends.
Speaker 4: Was your fiance there too, No, it was just my friends.
Speaker 4: It was just all of us from like back in
Speaker 4: the day, and you know, we're having a good time
Speaker 4: and drinking and whatever. And at the end of the night, well,
Speaker 4: it's not what you're saying. It's just so weird. He
Speaker 4: kind of pitched me an idea.
Speaker 2: What kind of idea?
Speaker 4: He said, he wants to propose to his girlfriend at
Speaker 4: my wedding reception?
Speaker 1: Oh can you give me that drunk to think that's
Speaker 1: a good idea? Even?
Speaker 4: Oh man, what's even crazier is that, like I was
Speaker 4: so excited that he was going to propose. I just
Speaker 4: like screamed and hugged him right away.
Speaker 2: Oh no, you what you said?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 4: And I feel like he took that as a yes.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: How can you be mad at him for being like,
Speaker 5: oh my god, I'm so excited for you, and like.
Speaker 2: He read that as like a positive reason.
Speaker 1: I don't think that she's mad. I think now she
Speaker 1: just probably feels like she's gonna she put herself into
Speaker 1: a bad situation, is what it sounds like.
Speaker 4: Well, and what's even crazier is like he was so
Speaker 4: like touched by that that he was like, imagine, like
Speaker 4: our weddings will be lean, Trevor, Man, it's kind of cute.
Speaker 2: Anyone who's ever thought about proposing?
Speaker 5: That's what you think, right, You're like, look, it's like
Speaker 5: connection with the bride and groom, love sprouts more love,
Speaker 5: and all your friends are already there to witness, so
Speaker 5: you're ready to party and celebrate together.
Speaker 3: The efficient you could just get it done, I think talking,
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if you want to talk
Speaker 3: him out of it, but I think even talking him out.
Speaker 1: Of it would save his fiance, because who wants to
Speaker 1: be proposar at somebody else's wedding?
Speaker 2: Like every woman on.
Speaker 1: The world knows that that's a huge fokos.
Speaker 5: Clearly, we have a lot of opinions in this room, Brittany,
Speaker 5: But where are you at?
Speaker 2: What's going on with you?
Speaker 4: And now I have to like say something, but I
Speaker 4: just don't know how to approach it. I think he's
Speaker 4: going to be crushed.
Speaker 1: Okay, So you so you don't want it to happen.
Speaker 1: You don't want him to propose to your wedding.
Speaker 4: I don't think it's a good idea. No, And like
Speaker 4: my family hates it of course, So like I was
Speaker 4: on the fence before, but because they were so strongly,
Speaker 4: you know, feel so strongly, I was like, I have
Speaker 4: to really do something here, okay, because they.
Speaker 1: Like we're footing the bill not for his engagement party.
Speaker 2: That's a good point. Maybe he should pay, like for
Speaker 2: the bar.
Speaker 5: What's the least important part of a wedding, Like.
Speaker 2: The groom is the least important.
Speaker 1: Honestly, we haven't even talked about him. Have you told
Speaker 1: your fiance about this?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 4: Because I didn't.
Speaker 2: I would probably be all for it too. It'd be like, yeah, sure,
Speaker 2: let him propose. I have to talk less.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's my family who's the most like, oh no,
Speaker 4: this is not happening.
Speaker 1: Ye can make sense to have you talked to your
Speaker 1: friend again about like his proposal plans.
Speaker 4: No, but like we were at some birthday party or whatever,
Speaker 4: and he was kind of like me to look like
Speaker 4: we know.
Speaker 5: So that's why it's going to be extra awkward because
Speaker 5: he's under the impression that you're one hundred percent supportive
Speaker 5: of his plan to.
Speaker 2: Pop the question at your wedding.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so how do we politely help her deliver the
Speaker 5: news that she is rescinding her blessing for his proposal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I forgot. We got to give advice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, even on a Thursday, Jose, our job.
Speaker 5: Never ends, you know, right right, Brittany, that's who we're
Speaker 5: calling here.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I can hear your nerves already.
Speaker 1: I think it'll be fine. I think he'll understand.
Speaker 5: Whenever Brookes says that, you know, it's the kiss of death.
Speaker 5: So best of luck to all of us as we
Speaker 5: take a break for a quick second to think of
Speaker 5: some good advice to give you before you call your
Speaker 5: friend and tell him I'm sorry even though I told
Speaker 5: you yes, now you cannot propose.
Speaker 2: At my wedding reception. I know my heart broke.
Speaker 5: Just saying we're going to do it with your word
Speaker 5: Thursday phone call special Thursday.
Speaker 2: We'll do it right after this. Hold on, it's awkward.
Speaker 2: It's Thursday Thursday.
Speaker 5: What is it about brides and grooms that makes them
Speaker 5: think their wedding day should be all about them.
Speaker 2: You don't get it.
Speaker 5: But of course we have a bride to be on
Speaker 5: the phone named Brittany who says I don't want my
Speaker 5: friend to propose it my wedding, even though I kind
Speaker 5: of already gave him permission to do so earlier.
Speaker 2: Oh man, classic bride.
Speaker 5: But you know what, Sure, we'll help her crush a
Speaker 5: young man's romantic dreams.
Speaker 2: That's the way you're framing it is awful. It's the truth.
Speaker 2: Am I saying anything that's not true?
Speaker 1: It's just your tone.
Speaker 2: You're right, I'm the evil one.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 2: You've been a bride before. What's your advice to a
Speaker 2: fellow bride?
Speaker 1: Well, I think what you need to do, Brittany, is
Speaker 1: you need to use the Toddler method on this one. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You know, like when toddlers are having a tantrum and
Speaker 1: they're really emotional. You don't try to fix the behavior,
Speaker 1: You distract. What you need to do is you need
Speaker 1: to come up with better, more awesome proposal ideas for
Speaker 1: him so he just even stops thinking about your wedding
Speaker 1: as an option.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that is a good idea.
Speaker 2: I didn't believe.
Speaker 1: About Bay as a guy. If you make us think
Speaker 1: we have a good idea that could work.
Speaker 2: Okay, so some advice.
Speaker 5: Normally we go to Jose for more, but since this
Speaker 5: is a bridal thing, we should probably ask another female.
Speaker 2: Stay far away from this.
Speaker 5: So we're going over to Alexis any hot tips you
Speaker 5: got for Brittany?
Speaker 1: A hot tip?
Speaker 3: But you know in your friendship, so I think you
Speaker 3: should deflect the blame.
Speaker 1: Well, you're gonna blame somebody else, yes, of course, like
Speaker 1: specifically your mother in law. The mother in laws are easy.
Speaker 2: My mother in.
Speaker 1: Law doesn't want this to happen.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but if you're gonna blame it on anybody, blame
Speaker 5: it on the person, You're probably not gonna get along.
Speaker 2: That's one thing I've learned from that should have been
Speaker 2: drugs advice. So there we go. You have a little
Speaker 2: bit to work with. You could choose to use it
Speaker 2: or not.
Speaker 5: But we're gonna dial your friend Dylan here and let
Speaker 5: you make your awkward Tuesday phone call to rescind permission
Speaker 5: for him to propose. Okay, this should be fun.
Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna dial it right now. Let's see
Speaker 2: how it goes.
Speaker 6: Hello, Jill.
Speaker 4: Pick Brenee, what are you doing?
Speaker 6: I'm good, I'm great. How are you how your booh good?
Speaker 4: This is good. We're getting so excited.
Speaker 6: I am super pumped, not only just for me, but
Speaker 6: for you wedding and then you already know I'm just
Speaker 6: so excited about you being my bestie and allow me
Speaker 6: to do what I'm what I'm so nervous to do,
Speaker 6: but I'm so excited to do.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I don't. I wanted to talk to
Speaker 4: you actually about that specifically because you know how like
Speaker 4: we were going to take that trip to Cabo. I
Speaker 4: was thinking like that would be a really like instead
Speaker 4: of the wedding, like maybe maybe like you could propose
Speaker 4: when we go to Cabo and like everyone will be there,
Speaker 4: but it won't be like stressful and like wait, hold on.
Speaker 6: Well where is that coming from. We already already got
Speaker 6: things in motion about proposing at your wedding, right, so.
Speaker 4: You know my god, you know Tommy, like mom is
Speaker 4: like so uptight and like so crazy, yeah, oh insane,
Speaker 4: Like I was talking about it and she like blew
Speaker 4: her lids, like was like, and you know how I
Speaker 4: have to live with this woman for like the rest
Speaker 4: of ever.
Speaker 6: Okay, okay, okay, Britty bird. Okay, best friend, I gotta
Speaker 6: stop you there because I don't like where I don't
Speaker 6: like where this is going. I don't like the vibe.
Speaker 6: But it's not you, I hear you. It's mom in
Speaker 6: law soon to be. I get it, however, and I.
Speaker 4: Love you like you know, I love you. I support you,
Speaker 4: like one hundred percent, super stoked about this. I think
Speaker 4: it's such a great thing for you. But I just great.
Speaker 6: It is great because I told Michelle's parents that I
Speaker 6: was going to do it at your wedding and they
Speaker 6: were going to be there. So I don't think tabo's
Speaker 6: gonna work, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: I don't have We don't. That's like not we didn't
Speaker 4: plan for that for like our guess with some stuff
Speaker 4: like you.
Speaker 6: No, no brit breat Just close your eyes and picture reception.
Speaker 6: Everything's going great. Yay. Was getting married okay, and then
Speaker 6: I proposed to Michelle. It goes great, she says, Yes,
Speaker 6: everyone's happy. We walk outside of the reception, not to
Speaker 6: take away from you, but just me and her walk
Speaker 6: us out the reception and her family is going to
Speaker 6: be there to you know, take that in and be
Speaker 6: super excited for us, you know, what I mean, what
Speaker 6: the hell did you say? Did you say awkward? You
Speaker 6: said that was awkward?
Speaker 5: It was a sound effect that we played on our
Speaker 5: radio show called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 2: Because you're on it right now, Bro.
Speaker 6: What are you talking about. I'm on a radio show.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is our show. You've actually been on it
Speaker 5: this entire time. We're doing something called an awkward Tuesday
Speaker 5: phone call.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry, awkward Thursday.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: So I don't know any of you. So, Brittany, what
Speaker 6: the hell is happening right now?
Speaker 2: Brittany, maybe you need to come clean.
Speaker 4: Okay. I am so sorry. When we were out celebrating
Speaker 4: the wedding and whatever and then you like pitch this
Speaker 4: idea to me, I was just focused on like being
Speaker 4: so excited for you and Michelle that I was like flipped.
Speaker 4: But I think you misread that as me saying, yes,
Speaker 4: you can do it at the wedding.
Speaker 6: Okay, Yeah, No, I definitely thought that was yes, I
Speaker 6: can do it at the wedding, and that's understandable.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, all.
Speaker 6: Right, if I can be completely just kind of open
Speaker 6: and transparent, all right. So things kind of aren't going
Speaker 6: the best between Michelle and I right now.
Speaker 5: Your girlfriend. Your girlfriend's Michelle. Are we understanding that right?
Speaker 2: Yes? Yes, yes, And you want to propose to her?
Speaker 6: Just hear me out, please, Yes, I still do, but
Speaker 6: we're kind of of not staying together right now. So
Speaker 6: I thought the best thing to just kind of reinvigorate
Speaker 6: what we have is to propose at your wedding.
Speaker 3: Oh you're gonna get denied in front of everyone at
Speaker 3: her wedding.
Speaker 5: Oh, rather, everybody knows you just gotta have a baby.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds like you need to work on some
Speaker 1: things with Michelle before you move on to marriage proposal.
Speaker 2: There should be like a sure thing.
Speaker 6: It is a sure thing.
Speaker 2: It is a sure thing.
Speaker 1: Are you hearing Brittany though? And what Brittany's concerns are?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 6: Uh no, not really?
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, okay, that's a little selfish.
Speaker 2: So that being said, are we all good now? Brittany?
Speaker 2: You feel like you're in a better place. What even happened?
Speaker 4: Like now, it's like, what is this gonna be some
Speaker 4: sort of reality show in the parking lot of my.
Speaker 1: Weddingscle sounds like such a good idea, Dylian.
Speaker 5: So there, but then it has to buy plane tickets
Speaker 5: for her parents, sticabo.
Speaker 2: And that's going to be.
Speaker 1: I don't know that the parents need to be there
Speaker 1: in the end.
Speaker 5: This is really it's Britney's wedding day. It's going to
Speaker 5: be Britney's decision on whether or not Dylan can pop
Speaker 5: the question there or not. So Brittany, really it's your choice.
Speaker 4: I'm saying now at this point, I'm no.
Speaker 7: You already said yes, like I invited her family, but
Speaker 7: now I feel like I don't need your permission and
Speaker 7: I I just might pop the question, hey during the wedding,
Speaker 7: get her approval.
Speaker 6: She already has said yes, no saying no.
Speaker 4: Wedding.
Speaker 1: What just happened, Dylan, You're gonna get yourself uninvited to
Speaker 1: your best friend's wedding.
Speaker 6: Okay, so hear me out. Maybe just maybe I'm a
Speaker 6: tad bit emotional right now and I'm just in a
Speaker 6: vulnerable place right now.
Speaker 1: That's okay, that makes sense. Yeah, I bet Brittany would
Speaker 1: be a great person to get other ideas from on
Speaker 1: how to propose.
Speaker 4: Pray, get some ideas from me about how to talk
Speaker 4: to Michelle and get her on your good side.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean that could be a good idea and
Speaker 6: I should have told you earlier. But yes, she's not
Speaker 6: talking to me and she's staying out her parents and.
Speaker 2: Okay, well.
Speaker 1: Were like, yeah, nobody was going to be in the
Speaker 1: parking lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, is even going to be at the wedding.
Speaker 5: It sounds like, but okay, dude, I know you want
Speaker 5: to get married, but you really have to get used
Speaker 5: to the idea of women saying yes but meaning no.
Speaker 6: I see what.
Speaker 2: Brook, You're on board with that.
Speaker 1: Right, didn't really fully understand your statement.
Speaker 5: That's a yes and reading between what she's saying and
Speaker 5: she is one hundred pree. Anyway, that's your awkward Thursday
Speaker 5: phone call, Brittany.
Speaker 2: Stay in touch and let us know how your wedding goes.
Speaker 4: Okay, I well, guys, thanks for your having rookie.
Speaker 2: Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 5: Safe to say, the first awkward Thursday phone call did
Speaker 5: not disappoint.
Speaker 4: It was awkward.
Speaker 1: Sure, Why do I like to open to it better
Speaker 1: than the regular one? Honestly, it's but it feels like
Speaker 1: we have more luck on Tuesdays. How do you know
Speaker 1: we've never tried this before?
Speaker 2: What we have one.
Speaker 5: Time and it failed, So the zero percent success rate Tuesday's.
Speaker 6: Got at least.
Speaker 5: We made some progress there, And just an observation, it
Speaker 5: is interesting that Brittany was talking a lot at the
Speaker 5: beginning of the call, but by the end she was
Speaker 5: hardly saying anything, because it's like, what do you say
Speaker 5: when your friend basically is suggesting that his whole relationship
Speaker 5: basically hinges on him proposing at your wedding.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that made it so much worse.
Speaker 1: That always works, well, man, Desperate wedding proposals are always successful.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how your parents met, right. I get that
Speaker 2: they're both in a tough position.
Speaker 5: I just hope they get it resolved quickly, because that's
Speaker 5: not something that should be on Britney's mind in the
Speaker 5: lead up to her nuptials.
Speaker 2: No, not somebody else's wedding. No, what she should thinking
Speaker 2: about is Nacho Bar. Hello.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you want to put an.
Speaker 2: Yes, everybody's happy with Nacho Bar, but would pretty slat.
Speaker 5: But in the spirit of weddings, I'm gonna pop a
Speaker 5: little question to our listeners right now. I want to know,
Speaker 5: will you make us the happiest morning show on earth
Speaker 5: and subscribe to our podcast?
Speaker 2: Ah, he's on his knee.
