Speaker 4: interesting to me.
Speaker 3: Tell me that.
Speaker 1: Fifty percent of the time it's it's the woman's fault.
Speaker 4: I'm she's admitting that it's her and I'm curious why
Speaker 4: you think that, Isabella, what happened?
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I'm pretty sure it's my fault. It was
Speaker 5: just something that I did. It was stupid, it ruined everything.
Speaker 2: Okay, wait, slow down. Is this something you did on
Speaker 2: the first date? Something you did on the second date?
Speaker 5: It was actually our third Oh you.
Speaker 1: Did go on a third day. I'm sorry. I didn't
Speaker 1: understand that.
Speaker 3: I know my intro was relevant for.
Speaker 1: Who's the guy that you were out with?
Speaker 5: His name is Marco?
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, that would probably get him to stop calling
Speaker 4: with that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean his whole life, right.
Speaker 4: What happened on the third date with Marco that made
Speaker 4: you think something was wrong?
Speaker 5: Okay, well he isn't telling me why, but this is
Speaker 5: my guest. The last time he hung out, I was hoping,
Speaker 5: you know, things would happen if you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, you're feeling connected to him.
Speaker 3: You're through some Suku.
Speaker 2: Naked I already did nine.
Speaker 5: So we were hanging out, its getting late. We were
Speaker 5: watching some boring national geographic video about birds I don't know. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 5: he's learning to fall asleep, right, and so.
Speaker 1: Like, wake up Marco.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, I wanted him to like stay up
Speaker 5: and have fun. So I was like, you know what,
Speaker 5: let's go get into energy drink and he didn't have
Speaker 5: when it did his place. So he's like, oh, there's
Speaker 5: a gas station a couple of blocks away. Let's just
Speaker 5: hop in the car and I'll take you real quick.
Speaker 3: So okay, we get there.
Speaker 5: He parks the car at one of the pumps, he
Speaker 5: gets gassed. I go inside, and when I come out,
Speaker 5: it looks like he's going through my phone, like he
Speaker 5: it looks like my phone in your hands. So I
Speaker 5: get really aggressive quick and I accuse him. I'm like, hey,
Speaker 5: don't go through my stuff. What are you doing? You
Speaker 5: can't just go through my phone. It's not okay. Well
Speaker 5: it turns out it was his phone, you know, but
Speaker 5: i'd already said it, and I'd already come out of
Speaker 5: him like real aggressive.
Speaker 1: You sound really sweet, Like how scary do you get?
Speaker 5: I mean, I can get mad, especially when I feel
Speaker 5: like boundaries are being cross, you know, and especially since
Speaker 5: I had an ex who went through my stuff and
Speaker 5: he broke trust constantly. But I shouldn't have accused him.
Speaker 4: And when you accused him of going through your phone,
Speaker 4: what was his reaction?
Speaker 6: Well, he was.
Speaker 5: Just sort of like taken aback and he's like, this
Speaker 5: isn't yours, Like what the heck? Like that was crazy reaction.
Speaker 3: It's an energy shift.
Speaker 2: It's so interesting when you're dating someone in the very
Speaker 2: beginning and you see.
Speaker 1: That first side of them. Oh this is what I'm
Speaker 1: getting into.
Speaker 5: Right, But it's not even the worst part my problem
Speaker 5: was that I didn't drop it for the rest of
Speaker 5: the night.
Speaker 1: What do you mean you didn't drop it?
Speaker 5: Well, on the whole right home, I brought it again
Speaker 5: and I was like, just tell me if you look
Speaker 5: through my phone.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, why did you not believe him?
Speaker 5: I think it was just triggering for me. You know,
Speaker 5: it's just like I had EXAs do that to me
Speaker 5: in the past.
Speaker 4: That is obviously not a good look. But we do
Speaker 4: appreciate you being honest and vulnerable. I know that's hard
Speaker 4: to do.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I realized I wasn't going wrong, But
Speaker 5: after that he was like, oh, we just call it
Speaker 5: a knight.
Speaker 4: Oh you don't even want to go inside and drink
Speaker 4: the energy drinks and see what happens.
Speaker 3: No, Geez's pretty much true.
Speaker 1: When did you work in your apology?
Speaker 5: I mean, I've apologized a text a few times, but
Speaker 5: I haven't like called them I've done it over the
Speaker 5: phone or anything yet.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think.
Speaker 2: Part of your biggest hurdle here isn't that you got
Speaker 2: angry and you know missaw the situation.
Speaker 1: It's that the length of time it took you to rebound.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, okay, didn't made that worse.
Speaker 3: What should we bring out?
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just.
Speaker 2: Hard, Like you do owe him a big apology, a
Speaker 2: sincere one.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, I know that you're right. I just I'm
Speaker 5: hoping that you guys can help me figure out how
Speaker 5: to do this, Like how do I undo this? How
Speaker 5: do I go about apologizing to them while still expressing
Speaker 5: my boundaries for the future.
Speaker 1: I don't think you need to anymore. I think he
Speaker 1: gets your boundaries.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think those are very clear.
Speaker 4: A lot of behavior changes going forward. But in the meantime,
Speaker 4: we're all going to go to the break round. We're
Speaker 4: gonna grab some Monster Energy drinks and pound them to
Speaker 4: think of the best advice we could give you before
Speaker 4: we come back, and let you call your guy Marco
Speaker 4: and Paul guy you're talking to day casually and see
Speaker 4: if we can get him to give you one more chance.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go through Brooks Phone. Why do that?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's a good call.
Speaker 4: We should all look at Brooks Phone fun, and then
Speaker 4: we'll let you do it with your awkward Tuesday phone
Speaker 4: call right after this.
Speaker 3: Hold on, it's awkward.
Speaker 1: It's Tuesday.
Speaker 3: It's awkward Tuesday phone call. Trust is a fickle beast.
Speaker 1: Yes it is.
Speaker 4: Once you lose it, it's almost impossible to get it back.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and that's what our listener, Isabella is dealing
Speaker 4: with after her third date with a guy named Marco,
Speaker 4: where she accused him of looking through her phone while
Speaker 4: she was in a.
Speaker 3: Gas station buying drinks.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, it.
Speaker 4: Turns out he was looking at his own phone, and
Speaker 4: her insecurities from a previous relationship kind of took over.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Worst port though.
Speaker 4: She wouldn't drop it the entire ride home, and they
Speaker 4: parted ways on a really weird note. Have not spoken since,
Speaker 4: So she's coming to us seeking advice on how to
Speaker 4: properly apologize and hopefully smooth things over. She should be
Speaker 4: super easy, Brook, what's your advice for Isabella?
Speaker 1: Well, this might come off as a little manipulative.
Speaker 3: Oh I like it. I don't like it.
Speaker 2: But what you need to do is you need to
Speaker 2: say you're sorry, say you're so embarrassed.
Speaker 1: Start crying.
Speaker 3: Oh, start crying.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and just tell him that you're just not
Speaker 2: used to being around such an amazing guy like he is, and.
Speaker 1: Then you'll get used to it and you're excited about it.
Speaker 5: Ah.
Speaker 3: Okay, what do you think about that, Isabella? Can you
Speaker 3: cry on command?
Speaker 6: You know?
Speaker 5: I could try, But I like that idea of bettering
Speaker 5: him up.
Speaker 3: Yes, taking a really positive angle.
Speaker 6: Yes.
Speaker 4: Men have a very difficult time when a woman starts
Speaker 4: it's crying, being able to do anything except agree with her.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm so sorry. What do I do here?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 3: All right, so that's your advice. You can use as
Speaker 3: much or as little of it as you want, Isabella.
Speaker 3: It's really up to you. Yeah, okay, okay, okay, Well,
Speaker 3: don't start crying.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: We haven't even got Marco on the phone.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to be fake. I think
Speaker 1: it's going to come out national.
Speaker 3: Might be, I know, because then I'm going to be uncomfortable.
Speaker 3: That's good.
Speaker 1: Cry.
Speaker 3: Okay, we'll see what happens. I'm gonna dial Marco. We'll
Speaker 3: see if he picks it up. Good luck, Isabella, Thank you?
Speaker 3: Here we go.
Speaker 6: Hello, Hey Marco, I'm why are you who?
Speaker 5: Well you're not answering any of my texts. I really
Speaker 5: wanted to talk to you. Things were good between us
Speaker 5: before the night at the gas station.
Speaker 6: Can we do this time? I really got to run?
Speaker 5: Well, look, I just I just wanted to talk. I
Speaker 5: messed up. Well, I'm just not used to staying around
Speaker 5: such a good guy, you know, And I'm so sorry,
Speaker 5: and I'm embarrassed.
Speaker 6: And wait a second, are you crying?
Speaker 5: Whoa?
Speaker 6: What's wrong?
Speaker 5: I just thought we had a really good connection and
Speaker 5: I'm sorry about that night, and you're just a good
Speaker 5: guy and I'm not used to that.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 6: You need to stop crying.
Speaker 5: Well, no, I really am sorry. I didn't mean to
Speaker 5: come at you so aggressively like that, just like I
Speaker 5: thought you were going through my phone And I've had
Speaker 5: to deal with exes doing that in the past, and
Speaker 5: they broke my trust. And so I'm sorry. I'm sorry
Speaker 5: that I accuse you of that.
Speaker 6: Look are you really trying to use this phone thing
Speaker 6: to cover up what you did?
Speaker 5: What you wouldn't mean? What are you talking about?
Speaker 6: Oh? Come on, you know.
Speaker 5: No, I don't know what you What are you talking about?
Speaker 6: At the gas station?
Speaker 3: Hello?
Speaker 6: I saw you?
Speaker 7: What what did you see when you were in the
Speaker 7: store getting the energy drinks? What what I saw you
Speaker 7: flash the employee?
Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 4: Whoa?
Speaker 5: What I've lift your shirt?
Speaker 3: Is that what you mean by show?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 3: My god?
Speaker 6: What is this? What's going on.
Speaker 1: He kind of like a flash.
Speaker 4: We're trying to figure out the same thing, Marco. Because
Speaker 4: this is a radio show, we're called Brooke and Jeffrey
Speaker 4: in the morning, and Isabella as a listener. She reached
Speaker 4: out for help trying to have this conversation with you.
Speaker 2: She really wanted to apologize and be sincere about the
Speaker 2: accusations about you going through her phone.
Speaker 6: Uh, okay, well that's not really the problem.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 4: Well through this, well, whatever you think you saw, it
Speaker 4: probably was like a weird misunderstanding. Isabelle, you didn't actually
Speaker 4: flash the gas station clerk?
Speaker 1: Oh god, WHOA why?
Speaker 2: I've never flashed anyone in my life, and I've done
Speaker 2: all sorts of weird stuck.
Speaker 3: From her husband hasn't seen her with her top a.
Speaker 1: The lighting in a gas station is terrible. Those videos
Speaker 1: go viral all the time. Security camera to flash a
Speaker 1: gas station attended.
Speaker 5: Okay, So when we went to the gas station, I
Speaker 5: left my purse back at the house and I didn't
Speaker 5: have anything to pay for the drinks, and I didn't
Speaker 5: want to bug him, so I asked the clerk if
Speaker 5: I flashed him what he caught me? And he's sun here.
Speaker 3: That works okay, right now, you life hack unlocked.
Speaker 1: I mean you had your bra on. It's just like
Speaker 1: showing a bikini top, right yeah.
Speaker 5: Although both of them were out.
Speaker 2: Oh I'm glad it wasn't just one of them.
Speaker 1: That would be even.
Speaker 3: More often So Marco, that doesn't work for you.
Speaker 7: Okay. Look, we hadn't even kissed yet, and you're already
Speaker 7: showing like you're flashing some gas station weirdo.
Speaker 5: I didn't I couldn't pay for it, and I didn't
Speaker 5: want to ask you'd pay. And for the record, I
Speaker 5: didn't kiss you on the first few days because I'm
Speaker 5: a lady and I don't a lady.
Speaker 1: You pay for two energy dreams by showing some rando
Speaker 1: your booth.
Speaker 3: It was a classy flash broke. That's what a lady.
Speaker 5: Does about the deal. I got a free drink out
Speaker 5: of it, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not no Okay.
Speaker 4: What I think we really need to focus on is
Speaker 4: not the flashing, is on getting Marco and Isabella talking
Speaker 4: and possibly hanging out again.
Speaker 3: I don't know, Marc, where where's your head at?
Speaker 6: Ah man? I don't know. I guess it's just I
Speaker 6: don't want to be with someone who does that.
Speaker 2: I mean, think about it, Isabella, if the roles were
Speaker 2: reversed and he went in and dropped trow to get
Speaker 2: a free coffee, Like, how would you feel about the situation?
Speaker 3: Just helicopter for a slurp? You know what I mean?
Speaker 3: I would do that though they just gave these to
Speaker 3: me for free to get out. I didn't even want them.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't like that, Isabella.
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know what your mama gave you.
Speaker 3: Like, sounded like a brook line the body line broke. Yeah, positivity.
Speaker 1: That's not empowerment.
Speaker 3: Okay, sorry, Isabella.
Speaker 4: The empowerment police apparently just came in, dropped the hammer
Speaker 4: on you in your chest.
Speaker 6: Cries. Now you told her to cry? What is wrong
Speaker 6: with you?
Speaker 3: It's empowering? Cry.
Speaker 1: I never said thanks. I said if it happened that
Speaker 1: that would be a good thing.
Speaker 6: Isabella. You're as messed up as the people you got
Speaker 6: to do this.
Speaker 3: Well, we look bad. I take it as a compliment. Okay.
Speaker 2: I've never been anything but trashy, so it's fine anyway.
Speaker 4: Clearly, I mean, we thought this was a misunderstanding over
Speaker 4: phone stuff. Turns out it was a misunderstanding over a
Speaker 4: topless gas station payment.
Speaker 1: I'm sure Marco would have gladly paid for the energy drinks.
Speaker 4: It was a nice move for her, though, to not
Speaker 4: have to ask for him to pay no.
Speaker 2: More than just two energy drinks at that point.
Speaker 1: Flashing for a good cause.
Speaker 4: Now, Isabelle, I guess that's the lesson that we learned.
Speaker 4: Make sure you grab a bag of funions on your
Speaker 4: way out next time before you show the.
Speaker 5: Good Okay, thanks guys. I I'll try to remember that.
Speaker 5: But Mark, don't we just hang out?
Speaker 1: I will say, she's got a good attitude about all
Speaker 1: of this. We've gone pretty hard on her.
Speaker 4: At least you know why she did it. It wasn't for
Speaker 4: like her own joy.
Speaker 1: She forgot her like it maybe was a little.
Speaker 3: At wasn't void of joy.
Speaker 2: That's true the first time she's done it.
Speaker 4: But she just didn't want to bug you and force
Speaker 4: you to pay. That's somebody that I would want in
Speaker 4: my corner if I was you, so I would rethink
Speaker 4: hanging out with Isabella again.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you ever run out of gas in
Speaker 2: a remote area, you.
Speaker 3: Don't need your apple pay Marco? What do you think?
Speaker 3: I don't know?
Speaker 6: This is all just a little too crazy. For me,
Speaker 6: I'm a pretty simple guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe we call the gas station attendant for a
Speaker 2: second date.
Speaker 1: Update.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean she's not really my type anyway. I
Speaker 5: don't know what he expects. I'm I'm a lady, so.
Speaker 3: Oh yes, no one will ever doubt that.
Speaker 5: Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 4: And the only other time I've ever heard of flashing
Speaker 4: people to get free stuff was at Marty Grass. I
Speaker 4: didn't know it was an option at seven to eleven.
Speaker 4: You should have signs up that say we accept cash,
Speaker 4: card and sea Yeah.
Speaker 1: Or spring break in the early two thousands in Mexico.
Speaker 3: Well, what else can we get for this? I want
Speaker 3: to turn a board a plane doing You don't think.
Speaker 1: It works as good for you?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, women don't fall for it the same way.
Speaker 4: Yeah, desensitized or something. And it is unfortunate, But I
Speaker 4: do think it's respectable that Marco said no to her
Speaker 4: after hearing everything.
Speaker 1: How could you not? Yeah, is there a bigger red flash?
Speaker 3: It is a little bad started.
Speaker 1: And and that she didn't even bring that up to
Speaker 1: us as a.
Speaker 4: Possible I don't think she thought anybody saw it, but
Speaker 4: we did have plenty of dudes on the textboard at
Speaker 4: seven eighty five nine two, being like, oh yeah, that's
Speaker 4: my kind of woman.
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't let him judge you girls.
Speaker 5: Yes, love our.
Speaker 3: Listeners for that.
Speaker 4: But if you miss today's awkward call or you want
Speaker 4: to hear more of them, we got all of them
Speaker 4: online on our podcast find it at Brooke and Jeffrey
