1
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: Imagine thinking you just won the lottery, only to find

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: out two months later it was a weird computer glitch

3
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: and you actually won nothing. No way, that's what it's

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: like getting hired to work in radio.

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 2: Yay.

6
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 3: Oh wait a second, Oh come on, Jack, I love

7
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 3: working with us.

8
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: Sure, but there is one non radio person who understands

9
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: the feeling all too well. Because our listener thought his

10
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: girlfriend was planning the most epic birthday trip for him

11
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: of all time wow, until one text message shattered everything.

12
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: Oh no, and now he needs our help not to

13
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: save the trip, but possibly to save his relationship. You're

14
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: gonna hear it in a brand new awkward Tuesday phone call. Next,

15
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: It's awkward. It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday phone call. Do

16
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: you like it when a significant other makes a big

17
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: deal about your birthday, like, goes through the effort to

18
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: plan things for you, buys your nice presence, does a

19
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: big surprise. Yes, I mean Brooks says she loves it,

20
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: unless the surprise is a barbershop quartet's uncompy.

21
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 3: Okay, that was.

22
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: Not cool funk, But there are contingencies to the surprise

23
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: clearly well.

24
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 3: Four weird old men standing behind me singing in a

25
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 3: radio studio. It's not my idea of a good time.

26
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: Kind of an inside joke, but if you didn't know.

27
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: A while ago, Brooks husband organized that for her on

28
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: the show, and she absolutely despised it.

29
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 3: Dude, just making eye took contact with people that are

30
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 3: singing to you is just too much for I wish

31
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 3: I was here for that.

32
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: But anyway, I bring it up because one of our listeners, Kroy,

33
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: is having a birthday soon and his significant other was

34
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: making a big deal about it. Emphasis on was because

35
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: it sounds like maybe things have changed. Kroy. Welcome to

36
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: the show.

37
00:01:58,720 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 4: Hey guys, thanks for having me.

00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: What's going on?

45
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 4: Yeah?

46
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, so my uh, I've been seeing my girlfriend Chrissy

47
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 2: for two years now, and months ago she started making

48
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: a big deal about how she wants to go over

49
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: the top for me for my thirtieth birthday.

50
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: That's awesome.

51
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 3: That great girlfriend.

52
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, what does that mean though.

53
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: Well, it means that she got me an early birthday present,

54
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: which was a really nice watch.

55
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 4: Oh and in addition to that.

56
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: For the actual birthday, she booked us a trip to

57
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: the Bahamas.

58
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: Wow, yay, God, you didn't take the watch as like

59
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: kind of an insulting present though.

60
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 3: Wait, what do you mean like you're at a time

61
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 3: you're in.

62
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: Thirty Yeah, you're never on time for stuff on time? Thought,

63
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: now you're getting old times running out. You didn't read

64
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 1: into it like that symbolic.

65
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 2: No, maybe if it wasn't as nice a watch as this,

66
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: But I mean I didn't even think about that.

67
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 3: Are you calling me?

68
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: Old? Wait?

69
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 3: Are you calling and there's a like you have an

70
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 3: upcoming Bahamas trip?

71
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 4: Right?

72
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 2: Well yeah, but I mean even more than that. It's

73
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: not just the watch of the Bahamas trip. She even

74
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: showed me that she splurged on the hotel room too,

75
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: Like we have a super nice view of the ocean.

76
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 4: That's amazing. She bought us outfits for the trip to

77
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 4: where when we go out?

78
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 3: So wait, where's the problem come in?

79
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: So the problem comes in that last week she tells

80
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: me that she had to return my watch.

81
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: What wait what? Oh?

82
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 4: Yeah?

83
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: And I was like, oh why, I really like this watch.

84
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 2: It's really nice and she said, I know, but maybe

85
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: we'll get you a different one later.

86
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 3: Uh oh.

87
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 4: And I was like what is that mean?

88
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: And she was like, I don't really want to talk

89
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: about it. Oh.

90
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 3: I immediately think maybe she overspent?

91
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know, like.

92
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 3: Is it sounds like she was just going nuts, like

93
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 3: the hotel room and the trip and the watch, and

94
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 3: then she got the credit card.

95
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 5: Bill and she's like, wait a minute, I went too

96
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 5: far and.

97
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: We could do with that with a watch, but we'll

98
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: still do the vacationion.

99
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

100
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

101
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: Well my thoughts are worse because after that happened last week,

102
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: she texted me yesterday saying that she had to cancel

103
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: the trip.

104
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: Now Bahamas are off the table too. Yes, what are

105
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: you thinking?

106
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 2: I think she's planning to break up with me?

107
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 3: Oh?

108
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: Really, come on, stay up for No, she's not planning

109
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: to break up with you. You're a good guys. Wait

110
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: out the breakup, though.

111
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 3: I wouldn't she just because she wants to get the

112
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 3: refund first. Maybe she doesn't want to spend the money.

113
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,559
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I would feel the same because

114
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 3: what why else would you do that?

115
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 2: Like why Ginji's rebook, You can't do Cleveland instead of

116
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 2: like the Mahamas.

117
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: It's sure even if it is too expensive, you can

118
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: find a more affordable I think more than anything.

119
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 3: Why no explanation? Why isn't she telling you? Have you

120
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 3: asked her what's going on?

121
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 4: When I kept asking her why, she was like, oh,

122
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 4: we'll do a different thing. We'll do a different thing

123
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,119
Speaker 4: later later.

124
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 2: And she usually brings things up to me if something's

125
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: on her mind or whatever, but this has been different,

126
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 2: and I'm like, I can't think of anything other than

127
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: she's gonna break up with me.

128
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 4: And I don't know why. I have no idea why.

129
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 3: Oh man, that's tough.

130
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: Like I think i'd be pissed, yea.

131
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 3: If I'm just thinking if my boyfriend gave me these

132
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 3: big grandios things and then took them away, I'd be

133
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 3: like what the hell? Like I would probably be the

134
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 3: one thinking about dumping them. To be honest, you got

135
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 3: to be taking it back to playing something better can

136
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 3: take away presents that have already been gifted.

137
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: Is that your suggestion to him right now? He should

138
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: dump her first before she dumps him. No, No, no, no,

139
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: well maybe on what she has to say.

140
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not that shallow, and really I'm just more

141
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 2: concerned about our relationship here.

142
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: That's good.

143
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 3: That's good. You seem like a really good guy.

144
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,239
Speaker 1: I mean, aside from taking away all your birthday presents

145
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: and canceling your birthday trip and then not communicating about

146
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: her feelings about why. Is there any other red flags

147
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: in the relationships?

148
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 3: Yeah?

149
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 2: None that I can think of.

150
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: Okay, well, then we need to help you figure out

151
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: what the heck is going on? Yes, with your girlfriend

152
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: and your birthday plans coming up. There has to be

153
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: an explanation.

154
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 2: I need her to open up and tell me, because

155
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 2: it seems like anything I say she quickly just closes

156
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 2: it down.

157
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 4: She doesn't want to talk about it at all anymore.

158
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: We could just call a bunch of like.

159
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 2: Chuck E cheeses and see if there's any bookings, so

160
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 2: she could.

161
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 3: Still be planning a surprise.

162
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: There's got to go a surprise from the surprise.

163
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 2: I don't know. It seems like the birthday is like

164
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 2: far away her mind too, like like she's not even

165
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 2: planning anything anymore, you know.

166
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: Okay, So we have a mission now to find out

167
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: why after your girlfriend booked a vacation for your thirtieth

168
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: birthday and got you an expensive watch, she took it

169
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: all back with zero explanation. We'll try to get you

170
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: some answers in your awkward Tuesday phone call.

171
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 2: Thank you, guys.

172
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: Next, it's awkward.

173
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 4: It's Tuesday.

174
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: It's awkward Tuesday phone call. What are the subtle red

175
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: flags from a significant other that show they're attempting to

176
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: break up with you?

177
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 4: Oh?

178
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: Man, maybe if they change your Netflix profile name to

179
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: just the word guest. Oh, that's not a good sign.

180
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 3: Screen you'refile.

181
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: Or if you find a PowerPoint presentation on their computer

182
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: about why you should start seeing other people. Oh, that

183
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: is very specific. It's a red flag, but not saying

184
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: it's totally over yet.

185
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, could have helpful information in it.

186
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: And the only things our listener Kroy has noticed from

187
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: his girlfriend are she's returned his birthday gift without asking him,

188
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: canceled his birthday vacation, and hasn't been communicating about why

189
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: she's doing these things or really wanting to talk to

190
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:25,679
Speaker 1: him about it at all. So not great, but that's

191
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: why he's come to us looking for advice on how

192
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: to finally get his girlfriend to just be honest and

193
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: tell him what's going on. Yes, Brook, Kroy needs you

194
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: right now and your wisdom. What do you have to

195
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: say to Kroilp.

196
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 3: I am just like you, Croy. I always go to

197
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 3: worst case scenario, like I fall down that rabbit hole

198
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 3: of this is going to be the most terrible thing ever.

199
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 3: And I think.

200
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: I'm hoping there was some advice on so that is.

201
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 3: Well, that is the advice. You can only go up

202
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 3: from there, you know, Like like my mom used to

203
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 3: tell me before i'd like try out for a team

204
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 3: or apply from a job, She'd be like, you're not

205
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 3: gonna get that. You probably won't get that, And.

206
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:06,719
Speaker 1: Then when I did, it was so exciting.

207
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 3: So maybe I assume she's cheating on you too.

208
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, talking Alexis, you've already hit rock bottom, Croy.

209
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: That must feel good.

210
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not. I can't say I'm rolling with that

211
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 2: advice because I didn't even think about her cheating on me,

212
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 2: And now I'm kind of spiraling, Oh oh wow.

213
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 3: So you're gonna up soon?

214
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 2: There go than that?

215
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: What do you think, Jose, I don't know a ton

216
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: about women. Shocking, Okay, I'm assuming if you want one

217
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 1: to open up to you, you want to give her

218
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: like food and wine. But you're not with her right now.

219
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: You're not in the same ocase.

220
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 3: Are you gonna give me the food and water?

221
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: Super up, tell her you love her, and then don't talk.

222
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: Just see what she says. She may feel guilty and

223
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: open up. She may double down and say I love

224
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: you forever. Okay, Okay, I just toss out and I

225
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: love you and read the vibe from her reaction. What

226
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: do you think of that?

227
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 2: That's what I should have said.

228
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 4: I can figure out a way to read that in yeah, yeah,

229
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 4: I love you to.

230
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: Your girlfriend of two years. Figure that out. It's going

231
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: to be a tough one.

232
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 2: Somehow.

233
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 1: I'll figure out a way to drop the LBM on her.

234
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: But I think that's actually good advice, Jose And when.

235
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 3: She doesn't say anything back to you or says thank you,

236
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 3: it's okay man.

237
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 2: Okay.

Speaker 6: was using Apple Bay.

282
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 4: Oh okay, did you know that's real money?

283
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 6: Like I just thought it was like Apple points by

284
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 6: using my iPhone. But I'm stupid.

285
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:06,960

00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:14,040

Speaker 1: It's my job to tell you right now that you're

290
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: on a radio show called Brook and Jeffrey in the

291
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: morning and we're doing something called the awkward Tuesday phone call.

292
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 6: What.

293
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 4: I'm really sorry, Chrissy. I didn't know.

294
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 2: I didn't know how else to get you to talk

295
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,599
Speaker 2: about this. I had to go to the radio and

296
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 2: Ed had the radio that's why I'm calling from a

297
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 2: different number because I didn't know what was going on.

298
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 6: Just ask me at home.

299
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: No, it's okay, it's okay. I mean that's way better

300
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: than what he thought. I said. Jackie only was up.

301
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 6: No, it's I didn't know Apple Pee was using real

302
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 6: money because I'm an idiot, because I was an Android

303
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 6: person for so long and I just leaned over six

304
00:13:58,800 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 6: months ago.

305
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 3: You connect your credit card to it.

306
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: I'm sorry you didn't think apple pay was real money.

307
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: What did you think it was?

308
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 6: I thought I was earning like Apple points. It's like

309
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 6: taking American dollars from your credit card. That's why your.

310
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 3: Credit card pops up when you press it, right.

311
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 6: I just thought there was a deposit to have, just

312
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 6: some case.

313
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 2: Okay, to make sure you have an active bank account.

314
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 3: It's okay. Adulting's hard, and we're not all taught the

315
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 3: lessons that we should be taught before being sent out

316
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 3: to the real world.

317
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: Okay, we don't need to come descend. I'm not trying

318
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: to be condescending. I've tried to make her feel better.

319
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 4: Babe.

320
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 2: You thought that for using your iPhone for six months,

321
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 2: you got enough Apple points to buy a nice watch

322
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 2: and a trip to the Bahamas.

323
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 6: Well, I use it every day.

324
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 3: I mean I like her point system better.

325
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, I can't believe you put me on the rating.

326
00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 4: You could have just asked me.

327
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 6: No, everybody, I know how stupid I am.

328
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 3: No, no, wait, you just had an airhead moment. We've

329
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 3: all had him before, Funda.

330
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 2: This is a lot better than what I thought was happening.

331
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 2: And I thought you canceled all those things because you

332
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 2: were trying to break up with me.

333
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 6: Yeah. No, I just didn't know how to tell you

334
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 6: because it's like the dumbest thing I've ever done, and

335
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 6: I was really dumb, And now you just put me

336
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 6: on blast to the world like.

337
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, he's not trying to put you on blaster

338
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: or do anything. It's he only came to us for

339
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: help because he was trying to ask you about it,

340
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: and you kept saying we'll talk later or you're too busy.

341
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: The good news is this is all finally out in

342
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: the open. There's solutions. It sounds like you've figured things

343
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: out about how Apple pay actually works.

344
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 3: And what a sweet girlfriend to even plan that stuff

345
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 3: to begin with.

346
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 4: He's the best girlfriend ever.

347
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 2: I really really love her.

348
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 4: You guys.

349
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: With that comment, he just heard himself. Some boyfriend points there. Yeah,

350
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: that's why I fill that bucket, buddy, which are different

351
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: than American dollar pots, so you know you can't buy much.

352
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 2: It's kind of like crypto.

353
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: So listen, Chrissy Croix, both of you, you can go

354
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: back to planning the thirtieth birthday, something a little bit

355
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: more in your budget. But don't be upset with each other.

356
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 4: M Oh, I'm not upset. I'm not upset at all.

357
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 4: This is the best. This is great the outcomes.

358
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: How about you.

359
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 6: This is very embarrassing, but I will get over it.

360
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, Chrissy, look at it this way. A

361
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: wise old radio host once told me, this is your

362
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: rock bottom. It can only get better work. It actually

363
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: does work.

364
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 3: It's brooking Jeffrey in the morning.

365
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: There's got to be some people listening to this right

366
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: now who just had the exact same realization that Apple

367
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: pay isn't rewards points for using your cell phone. It's

368
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: actual real American dollars. Some kid is like, I'm about

369
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: to be in so much trouble.

370
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 3: Yep, I'm gonna tell you my kids don't even have

371
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 3: phones yet. But I'm still gonna go home and show them.

372
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's real money. I mean, Alexis Starbucks uses this

373
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: where you can earn Starbucks points and earn and get

374
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: free drinks. Why wouldn't Apple do the same exact thing, right,

375
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: You're right, I don't know. I mean, I think our

376
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: podcast should have a reward system where for every three

377
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: awkward Tuesdays you listen to, Brooke will give you one

378
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: dollar straight out of her son's piggy bank. Seems like

379
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 1: A does not do that.

380
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 3: Party subscribe and earn free money stolen from Brook's children.

381
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: I think it's wherever you get your podcasts at Brook

382
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: and Jeffrey
