<v Speaker 1>Right?

0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:26.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh you sound sound pretty good. I say you sound

0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:30.479
<v Speaker 2>ninety five percent Alexis. Yeah, yeah, that's what I thought too, like.

0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:32.720
<v Speaker 3>A seventy year old man to like a twenty year

0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:34.560
<v Speaker 3>old maybe.

0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:36.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's better. What do you got for comment?

0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:39.680
<v Speaker 1>I saw one from Isaac who said, why do I

0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:41.000
<v Speaker 1>feel like Jeffrey wears a suit?

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:45.120
<v Speaker 2>Whenever he's talking? He does give that air, doesn't he?

0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:45.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:47.680
<v Speaker 1>I can see that, which is funny because he talks

0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:51.560
<v Speaker 1>like he wears a suit, but he dresses the opposite.

0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:54.000
<v Speaker 2>I think he has four shirts. I think that's all

0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:57.040
<v Speaker 2>he owns, and one hat. There's always a hole in

0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 2>them too.

0:00:57.520 --> 0:00:57.720
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, very fancy that.

0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:01.040
<v Speaker 6>Man.

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:03.240
<v Speaker 7>You're just lucky, you know that addresses that's true.

0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:04.000
<v Speaker 2>That's true.

0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:06.000
<v Speaker 1>All right, we're gonna get your brand new awkward Tuesday

0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:07.200
<v Speaker 1>phone call started right now.

0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:10.960
<v Speaker 4>It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and we've dealt

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:15.160
<v Speaker 4>with family drama on this show before. Has just last month,

0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:18.080
<v Speaker 4>I volunteered to give Alexis's younger brother the Birds and

0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:18.920
<v Speaker 4>the Bees talk.

0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:22.039
<v Speaker 2>I love that. And now high school now.

0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:25.000
<v Speaker 4>We already know, well now he just calls me, Dad,

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:33.000
<v Speaker 4>what you really got close after that conversation. We understand

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 4>awkward family dynamics clearly, and we're dealing with one today

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.640
<v Speaker 4>after something didn't go so right at a children's birthday

0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.480
<v Speaker 4>party a year ago. It was so bad that it's

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:48.240
<v Speaker 4>still causing a rift in the family that we're being

0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:52.160
<v Speaker 4>asked to settle today. I'm probably gonna have to get

0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:56.360
<v Speaker 4>ready to explain how certain things work. But you'll find

0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.280
<v Speaker 4>out what happened in your brand new awkward Tuesday phone

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:00.400
<v Speaker 4>call right after this.

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 7>It's awkward, It's Tuesday.

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:09.080
<v Speaker 4>It's awkward Tuesday phone call. A few months ago, you

0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:11.480
<v Speaker 4>all might remember we did an awkward call for one

0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:14.480
<v Speaker 4>of our listeners who needed help, asking the best man

0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:18.920
<v Speaker 4>at her wedding to politely back out because they used

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:23.640
<v Speaker 4>to date and her fiance wasn't aware of that past relationship.

0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:24.560
<v Speaker 6>Yes, she.

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Want to tell us, right.

0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.679
<v Speaker 4>So we called the guy. Eventually they worked it out.

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:34.359
<v Speaker 4>But now fast forward to today and guess who's emailed

0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:36.560
<v Speaker 4>the show asking for our assistance.

0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:39.120
<v Speaker 2>Does that mean we get an update on the wedding?

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:40.079
<v Speaker 2>Did the wedding happen?

0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:43.079
<v Speaker 4>No, we're not going back. He has a new problem

0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 4>that he wants to deal with. The best Man Brad

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:50.280
<v Speaker 4>has called in for help with a different situation in

0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:53.239
<v Speaker 4>an awkward call, Brad, welcome back to the show Man.

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.120
<v Speaker 5>Hey, thank you. Yeah, you guys kind of surprised me

0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:58.079
<v Speaker 5>on that last ones. I figured, you know what, it

0:02:58.120 --> 0:02:59.960
<v Speaker 5>could probably be helpful on this situation.

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:02.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you were kind of the victim of the last

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Awkward Tuesday, and now you're more the protagonist here.

0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:09.640
<v Speaker 5>I hope. So I don't really know what's going on.

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:12.640
<v Speaker 7>He's not sure what protagonist means, Brooks.

0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 4>So you got it.

0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.400
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, you're the person who's calling needing help.

0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:16.280
<v Speaker 5>Thank you.

0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:18.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, character energy, that's what I'm saying.

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 4>You're the main character of this Awkward Tuesday phone call.

0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:25.000
<v Speaker 4>So what's the situation that you're dealing.

0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:27.400
<v Speaker 5>With So this is a little more tame than last time,

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:29.320
<v Speaker 5>for sure. But I'm just having an issue with my

0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:34.480
<v Speaker 5>sister Jenna right now. Quick backstory, I guess I'm divorced.

0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 5>I have two kids, two boys, four and six. I

0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:40.360
<v Speaker 5>love them. They're awesome, hang out with them all the time.

0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 5>They're my buddies.

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:42.600
<v Speaker 3>Awesome.

0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:46.240
<v Speaker 7>Yeah you have to say that though pretty much, but.

0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Just in case the court's listening, I love them still,

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:52.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm kidding.

0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.440
<v Speaker 5>It also has to do with the situation. So, like

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 5>I found out my sister's having a birthday party for

0:03:56.920 --> 0:04:00.760
<v Speaker 5>her daughter at her house. Uh huh, Well, like my

0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:03.280
<v Speaker 5>mom's the one that told me about it. She's just

0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:05.400
<v Speaker 5>like mentioning it, like obviously, like I was going, but

0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 5>I didn't get any invitation about it. I didn't hear

0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:09.520
<v Speaker 5>anything about it.

0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Are you sure, because my husband's always like, I didn't

0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:13.680
<v Speaker 1>see that birthday invite.

0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:18.400
<v Speaker 5>Yes, that's what I'm saying. So I figured she's my sister.

0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.480
<v Speaker 5>She sucks at communicating anyway, So like I texted her,

0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:24.359
<v Speaker 5>I didn't like outle like say it, but I was

0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:26.560
<v Speaker 5>hinting at it. I was dropping some huge hints and

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 5>she didn't say anything, which made it even more obvious.

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:32.799
<v Speaker 7>What you feel like you weren't invited to the party

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:33.400
<v Speaker 7>on purpose.

0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.480
<v Speaker 5>I feel like I know the reason, and that's what's

0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:37.839
<v Speaker 5>so upsetting about it.

0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:39.200
<v Speaker 7>Really, there's a reason.

0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.520
<v Speaker 5>So like she's probably upset because last time there was

0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:46.240
<v Speaker 5>like any like birthday event in our family, Like I

0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:51.119
<v Speaker 5>brought my kids and they were rowdy, I want to say,

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:56.360
<v Speaker 5>a couple of boys. I mean, yeah, they were loud.

0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:59.040
<v Speaker 5>Yes they were knocking everything over. Yes, they have to

0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:02.360
<v Speaker 5>trash their trus on everything and whatever they is they do.

0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:06.000
<v Speaker 5>Like I don't get it, he asks, Like the four

0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.640
<v Speaker 5>year old he's throwing tantrums because he didn't win a game.

0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:11.280
<v Speaker 5>He's like screaming how he wants to be the rotten egg,

0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:13.880
<v Speaker 5>Like it doesn't even make sense. And then my four

0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:16.599
<v Speaker 5>year old is just pouring candy on the floor and

0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:18.040
<v Speaker 5>then eating it off the floor.

0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:19.359
<v Speaker 2>Your kid is doing that.

0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:21.880
<v Speaker 5>Both of my kids are doing both of those.

0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:24.200
<v Speaker 7>Off the floor.

0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:27.760
<v Speaker 1>So you're saying you think your sister isn't inviting your

0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:32.320
<v Speaker 1>kids to the birthday party because they're so misbehaved.

0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.160
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, And I mean, like maybe I'm making it sound

0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:36.880
<v Speaker 5>like it's not like they were like lighting things on

0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:42.240
<v Speaker 5>fire or anything like God forbid. But no, obviously I

0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:44.200
<v Speaker 5>know they're misbehaving and like I know, I've had to

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.039
<v Speaker 5>talk to them and stuff about that. It's hard to

0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.800
<v Speaker 5>crall to boys when they're running around by yourself, believe me.

0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:52.000
<v Speaker 5>But their kids and like their family, like, really, you're

0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.880
<v Speaker 5>gonna exclude them because like they were bad ones?

0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:57.120
<v Speaker 2>What do you think she'd tell you that, like sibling

0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:57.640
<v Speaker 2>to sibling.

0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.160
<v Speaker 3>But I think that's why, Like I don't have kids,

0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.600
<v Speaker 3>but when you see bad kids, you tend to blame that.

0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but if it's your family, you just have to

0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:08.440
<v Speaker 1>accept no matter what the behavior is. So wait, because

0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:11.000
<v Speaker 1>this is their cousin's birthday, right that they're not getting

0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:11.560
<v Speaker 1>invited to.

0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.120
<v Speaker 5>Saying I want them to see their cousin, like I

0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:16.279
<v Speaker 5>want them to be able to hang out. Like I

0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:18.120
<v Speaker 5>just need help convincing changing your mind.

0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:20.200
<v Speaker 4>I think, okay, okay, you're not going to do the

0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:22.840
<v Speaker 4>thing where you just show up uninvited and crash the

0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:24.440
<v Speaker 4>party like a lot of family.

0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:24.800
<v Speaker 7>Members would do.

0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:27.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's such a little brother.

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:30.359
<v Speaker 5>I want to they have a pool, like it'd be

0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:32.520
<v Speaker 5>really okay.

0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:35.400
<v Speaker 4>You want to do the polite thing, And actually it

0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.000
<v Speaker 4>sounds like call your sister and ask permission to bring

0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:38.599
<v Speaker 4>your children.

0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:41.760
<v Speaker 5>Yes, I would like to squash the beef as we

0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:42.320
<v Speaker 5>would say.

0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:45.039
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's I feel like that's a mature move, like

0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:47.719
<v Speaker 1>actually talk about it in a family instead of just

0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:52.440
<v Speaker 1>everybody talking behind each other's backs. Your mom, you got

0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 1>like four other group chats, don't include.

0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:55.160
<v Speaker 2>Each other in it.

0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.200
<v Speaker 4>Okay, but you feel like you're going to get pushed

0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.359
<v Speaker 4>back from your sister, and that's what you're looking for

0:06:59.400 --> 0:06:59.839
<v Speaker 4>advice on.

0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:05.440
<v Speaker 5>Uh yeah, my sister can be terrifying a little bit. Yeah,

0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:09.160
<v Speaker 5>so wait, so what's the like mission, I get to

0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:11.640
<v Speaker 5>put it all out there so it's not awkward, and

0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:13.400
<v Speaker 5>then like I guess, like I would assume then it

0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:14.880
<v Speaker 5>would just be business as usual.

0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:18.200
<v Speaker 1>It's a little touchy too, because you don't want to

0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:20.640
<v Speaker 1>start more drama from a phone call like this.

0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 2>There's already enough, it sounds like in your family.

0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:25.160
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I don't want to be like I'm sorry and

0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:26.920
<v Speaker 5>then just assume I'm invited either.

0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh, you you actually want to apologize for your kids

0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:30.680
<v Speaker 1>behavior last time?

0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:32.920
<v Speaker 5>I mean, if you guys think I need to do that,

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 5>like that's what I'll do, But like I'll take your advice,

0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:37.840
<v Speaker 5>but I've tried that route and she's pretty stuck in

0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:38.200
<v Speaker 5>her way.

0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I mean it sounds delightful.

0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:44.240
<v Speaker 4>It is her party, her house, her rules, so her pool.

0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:47.080
<v Speaker 4>We're looking for her blessing to get them over and

0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:50.360
<v Speaker 4>if she says no, then we'll unleash your children on

0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:52.560
<v Speaker 4>her house to finish the job that they started.

0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:53.400
<v Speaker 2>It's time of fire.

0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yeah, don't get out when you got to go

0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:58.160
<v Speaker 1>to the bathroom in that pool.

0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:01.400
<v Speaker 2>What their kids are going to pee in the pool?

0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:05.920
<v Speaker 7>Didn't get that, but I got it.

0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.760
<v Speaker 4>Anyway, We'll come with some advice for you and let

0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.240
<v Speaker 4>you make your awkward Tuesday phone call to your sister

0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:14.000
<v Speaker 4>to get your children invited to her daughter's party.

0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:16.960
<v Speaker 7>And your awkward Tuesday phone call coming up right after this.

0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:17.960
<v Speaker 5>Thank you? All right?

0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:21.040
<v Speaker 7>Man, hold on, it's awkward.

0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:27.320
<v Speaker 4>It's it's awkward Tuesday phone call. Scientists once claimed it

0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:33.120
<v Speaker 4>was impossible, MythBusters refuse to even test it. Wow, the

0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:38.120
<v Speaker 4>question could candy infuse children spend three hours at a

0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:41.319
<v Speaker 4>birthday party and be somewhat well behaved?

0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:44.079
<v Speaker 7>It's scary, you know.

0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:46.839
<v Speaker 4>Answer we do because it happened a year ago for

0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:50.640
<v Speaker 4>Brad when he brought his children, four and six years old,

0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:52.200
<v Speaker 4>over to their cousin's.

0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:54.040
<v Speaker 7>Birthday party and the two.

0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:57.959
<v Speaker 4>Of them ended up causing chaos and mischief. Yeah, it's

0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:01.480
<v Speaker 4>all the stuff little boys tend to do, so little kids, right,

0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.720
<v Speaker 4>And I need to ask you, Brad, didn't your children.

0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.559
<v Speaker 7>Break anything while they were over at their aunt's house.

0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:12.439
<v Speaker 5>I mean, there was a broken lamp when we were leaving,

0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:13.960
<v Speaker 5>but I didn't see what happened to it.

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:19.559
<v Speaker 2>You're just like the boys watch responsibilities.

0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:24.040
<v Speaker 4>And She's like, yeah, own and his children did leave

0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:26.160
<v Speaker 4>with a light bulb that day, but you can't connect

0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:26.880
<v Speaker 4>the two of them.

0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:29.000
<v Speaker 7>Okay, Yeah, that's fine.

0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:32.280
<v Speaker 4>Now, maybe Brook has some advice for you before we

0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:34.360
<v Speaker 4>call your sister and try to convince her to let

0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:37.520
<v Speaker 4>your children attend this year's party, hopefully, Brook, What do

0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:38.400
<v Speaker 4>you think I mean?

0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.040
<v Speaker 1>I think when it comes to an older sister, what

0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:42.800
<v Speaker 1>you need to do is butter her up.

0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:45.600
<v Speaker 7>And this is getting really greass.

0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:49.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, make or feel good, make or feel wanted needed,

0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:54.000
<v Speaker 1>that's what all. Yeah, you need to take the angle

0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:58.880
<v Speaker 1>of You need parenting advice, okay from her the expert.

0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:01.320
<v Speaker 7>Yeah right, you like to know that they're smarter too.

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:04.360
<v Speaker 7>Have you been doing things to help correct your boys behavior?

0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:06.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean I've been trying to do like some

0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:09.240
<v Speaker 5>stuff here and there, like really trying to like get

0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 5>them to hone in and stuff.

0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:12.640
<v Speaker 4>But okay, that might be worth bringing up to your

0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:14.640
<v Speaker 4>sister if we can get her on the phone. But Jose,

0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:15.880
<v Speaker 4>what do you think? Do you have advice?

0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:16.960
<v Speaker 7>Well, kind of the same.

0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:20.719
<v Speaker 3>Anytime I want something from my sister, I buy her present. Oh,

0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:26.720
<v Speaker 3>during the call, just tell her you have a bunch

0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:30.480
<v Speaker 3>of chocolate covered strawberries for anytime she wants, and immediately

0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:32.000
<v Speaker 3>she'll be like, oh yeah.

0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:35.240
<v Speaker 7>Come on over chocolate covered strawberries to your sisters. Yeah,

0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:36.040
<v Speaker 7>every Mother's Day.

0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:36.880
<v Speaker 5>I sent her her birthday.

0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:40.920
<v Speaker 7>It's kind of a sexy gift too. Yeah.

0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:42.280
<v Speaker 5>Chocolate.

0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:47.280
<v Speaker 4>Okay, so maybe, yes, bribe your sister with some sexy chocolates.

0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:47.719
<v Speaker 7>What do you think?

0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:50.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I don't think I want to leave the sexy

0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:50.880
<v Speaker 5>chocolates out of it.

0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:53.600
<v Speaker 7>Okay, normal, normal chocolates and normal for us.

<v Speaker 5>she's smarter than me. She loves to rub that in

0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.120
<v Speaker 5>my face. So let's just put that angle.

0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.679
<v Speaker 2>Okay, we're getting an invite at the end of this.

0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:07.679

<v Speaker 4>be invited too, so we'll work on that afterwards.

0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:12.640

<v Speaker 5>I'm telling you that.

0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:12.600
<v Speaker 6>They literally attacked our room bow with the tennis rackets, but.

<v Speaker 5>Like that was actually funny. Come on, how was that funny?

0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:19.760
<v Speaker 5>Because they hit it a bunch and it was making

0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:22.000

<v Speaker 8>No, that's not okay, Like, look, that's not the point.

0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:29.240
<v Speaker 8>The point is we are family, Like we should have

0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:30.960
<v Speaker 8>talked about this a long time ago and not let

0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 8>it fester like this. I want our kids to hang

0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:34.480
<v Speaker 8>out like they're.

0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:36.880
<v Speaker 5>Literally cousins, Like what are we doing here being petty?

0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:41.319
<v Speaker 6>I mean I want that too, but it's just your voice,

0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:44.360
<v Speaker 6>Brad of offense. But they're like walking little nightmares.

0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:49.760
<v Speaker 5>I want to say you're wrong, but they are. And like, Okay,

0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.440
<v Speaker 5>I've done some stuff about it, and they've made a

0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:55.120
<v Speaker 5>lot of progress. Like I was looking on YouTube a lot,

0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:57.720
<v Speaker 5>and I found these awesome, like dog training videos that

0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:01.720
<v Speaker 5>they actually love. So I've just been using that. It works.

0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:05.880
<v Speaker 8>Brad. You cannot train your kids like dogs.

0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:08.800
<v Speaker 5>They act like dogs sometimes, So why wouldn't I just

0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:14.199
<v Speaker 5>watch these videos? Honestly, I can't imagine them licking themselves

0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:14.960
<v Speaker 5>in a corner.

0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:18.680
<v Speaker 2>You're talking about your own children.

0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:21.080
<v Speaker 7>Doos, Brad?

0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:21.880
<v Speaker 8>What is going on?

0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:22.880
<v Speaker 5>Who are these people?

0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Respond to?

0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:32.120
<v Speaker 3>Jenna?

0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:34.920
<v Speaker 4>I need to actually tell You're on the radio right now.

0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:36.880
<v Speaker 4>We're a show called Brook and Jeffrey.

0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:36.960
<v Speaker 7>In the Morning.

0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:43.280
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, Brad, Brad, he reached out to us for

0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:44.160
<v Speaker 4>this segment we do.

0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:46.120
<v Speaker 7>It's called an awkward Tuesday phone call.

0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:48.960
<v Speaker 8>Okay, yeah, yeah.

0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:51.560
<v Speaker 4>He just didn't know how to handle this situation going

0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:56.160
<v Speaker 4>on where his kids weren't invited to your daughter's birthday party.

0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:58.720
<v Speaker 6>Well, if you saw what his kids did last year,

0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:03.560
<v Speaker 6>you would understand. People literally left the party early because

0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.400
<v Speaker 6>his kids were causing such a wreckage because of them.

0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:10.120
<v Speaker 1>Wait a minute, yes, listen and you are the aunt

0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:11.200
<v Speaker 1>in this situation.

0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:13.080
<v Speaker 2>I think it takes a village.

0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:16.000
<v Speaker 1>You have to take some responsibility, right, it's also your

0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:17.520
<v Speaker 1>family exact in that way.

0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:19.920
<v Speaker 6>I only have so much control over these kids. I'm

0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:22.320
<v Speaker 6>trying to run a party. I can't be babysitting.

0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:23.120
<v Speaker 8>That's his job.

0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:27.200
<v Speaker 5>But not asking you like co parent or anything. But like,

0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:29.600
<v Speaker 5>if you have any like helpful hyinnts, that would be

0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:30.280
<v Speaker 5>super helpful.

0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:34.400
<v Speaker 2>I tell them the lead with that part.

0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:38.680
<v Speaker 6>But well, let's start by not using YouTube dog training videos.

0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:40.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, good club, there might.

0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:42.600
<v Speaker 7>Be some merit in that you tell your kid to

0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:43.320
<v Speaker 7>sit and stay.

0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:47.680
<v Speaker 2>No, Jeff, No, no, no.

0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:50.160
<v Speaker 4>Okay, okay, fine, But Jenna, can you help out your

0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:54.200
<v Speaker 4>brother here because he's kind of heartbroken over the fact

0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:56.360
<v Speaker 4>that your guys' kids aren't going to be able to

0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:57.520
<v Speaker 4>hang out for a birthday party.

0:15:57.520 --> 0:15:59.680
<v Speaker 7>It's important. They're family, and yeah.

0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:02.600
<v Speaker 2>They're yours nephews. Don't you want to help guide them

0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:03.560
<v Speaker 2>in the right way?

0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:06.000
<v Speaker 6>I mean, I would love to, but I also don't

0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:09.880
<v Speaker 6>want to lose precious, valuable furniture like the lamp Auntie

0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:11.320
<v Speaker 6>gave us before she passed.

0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:13.760
<v Speaker 8>Oh no, you can't prove that.

0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:16.040
<v Speaker 5>No one of us heard it break, So how did

0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:18.880
<v Speaker 5>it break? I didn't do it. He didn't do it.

0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:21.080
<v Speaker 2>The apple doesn't fall far from.

0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:23.840
<v Speaker 5>Bra.

0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:25.320
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I see where they get it from.

0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:27.440
<v Speaker 7>Really, Bra, you talk to your sister.

0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:30.120
<v Speaker 5>You really want to have them be those the strange

0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:32.600
<v Speaker 5>cousins that don't even know each other like these.

0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:34.480
<v Speaker 8>No, I want to be the cousins that we meet

0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:36.440
<v Speaker 8>at the park where.

0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:36.760
<v Speaker 7>They can't break.

0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:38.960
<v Speaker 2>Not your house, right.

0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:42.480
<v Speaker 5>Maybe maybe maybe like get a bounce house or something

0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:44.200
<v Speaker 5>and they can just kind of like run alock in

0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:46.320
<v Speaker 5>that bounce house.

0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:49.400
<v Speaker 6>Curiously, That's all I need. Then the tip over that

0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:51.240
<v Speaker 6>bounce house with everybody else's kids.

0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:51.720
<v Speaker 8>I'm sorry.

0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:53.840
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, okay, okay.

0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:56.840
<v Speaker 1>Is there any time before the party where the four

0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:58.320
<v Speaker 1>of you could get together.

0:16:58.360 --> 0:16:59.320
<v Speaker 7>And like party.

0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:02.160
<v Speaker 5>I'll even bring talk with covered strawberries if you want,

0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:03.000
<v Speaker 5>like anything.

0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:06.800
<v Speaker 6>Oh you know how much I love topic cover strawberry.

0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:09.200
<v Speaker 7>Oh my god.

0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:11.119
<v Speaker 8>Okay, looks Brad.

0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:14.879
<v Speaker 6>You can bring the kids, but they cannot go in

0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:17.639
<v Speaker 6>the house, and that's your responsibility to make sure they.

0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:18.920
<v Speaker 8>Do not go in my house.

0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:23.240
<v Speaker 7>No, they can sing happy Birthday through the windows.

0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:30.000
<v Speaker 2>She has a pool, all right, Well that's.

0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:32.440
<v Speaker 4>That's a nice compromise that she's offering for you, Brad,

0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:36.480
<v Speaker 4>you're at least allowed on the premises bathroom outside.

0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:38.359
<v Speaker 5>I mean, we'll take it for now, and we'll just

0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:40.240
<v Speaker 5>figure out a way to get inside or something.

0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:43.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't kids know. They're going to do the opposite.

0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:48.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you mean those dog training videos don't work, all right.

0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:50.080
<v Speaker 4>The important thing is we're reaching a compromise here, and

0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:51.800
<v Speaker 4>it sounds like, Brad, your kids are going to be

0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:53.480
<v Speaker 4>allowed to attend their cousin's party.

0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:55.600
<v Speaker 5>Perfect. And that was before I bought them a leash.

0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:59.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, hey, bring the leashes.

0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:00.000
<v Speaker 5>They might need to tie them up.

0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:03.879
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say, Jenna, you better be careful. It

0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:06.400
<v Speaker 1>sounds like these kids are gonna try to mark their territory.

0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:12.560
<v Speaker 6>I'm already knowing freaking Jeffrey in the morning.

0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:13.840
<v Speaker 4>Getting a lot of text into seventy eighty five nine

0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:18.240
<v Speaker 4>two saying that compromises even worse than where we started.

0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:21.320
<v Speaker 4>Having your kids stay outside the party and peek in

0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:22.359
<v Speaker 4>through the windows.

0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:24.760
<v Speaker 2>Come on, most of the party will be outside. They

0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:25.359
<v Speaker 2>have a pool.

0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:28.240
<v Speaker 3>I still worry about the bathroom now, especially with the pool,

0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:29.919
<v Speaker 3>where are the kids gonna go?

0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:32.480
<v Speaker 1>I worry about who's giving these kids boundaries because I

0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:34.320
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's a dad, and it's definitely not the

0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:34.800
<v Speaker 1>ant y.

0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:38.679
<v Speaker 7>Where's the mother. I'm invited to this clearly, but I

0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:39.680
<v Speaker 7>have a feeling.

0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:41.760
<v Speaker 4>Once they do get over to the ant's house, they're

0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:45.040
<v Speaker 4>gonna be okay. She'll either soften up and let them inside,

0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:47.600
<v Speaker 4>or she'll just be terrified that they're lifting up their

0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:49.719
<v Speaker 4>leg and peeing on the bushes from all those doctrin

0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:50.920
<v Speaker 4>and videos.

0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:51.640
<v Speaker 2>They learned it from their dad.

0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:54.720
<v Speaker 3>No, honestly, if they have a bad day and they're

0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:57.120
<v Speaker 3>not good kids, are they ever gonna be invited back

0:18:57.160 --> 0:18:59.240
<v Speaker 3>to their ant's house. There's a lot of pressure on.

0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:00.399
<v Speaker 2>We do need updates.

0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:03.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, Well, we'll stay in touch and we do

0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:06.320
<v Speaker 4>wish Brad the best of luck raising his kids. Good
