Speaker 1: All right here it is a brand new episode for you.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for being on our second Date podcast.
Speaker 1: We love that you're here. We're glad you found us.
Speaker 1: It's in the morning, especially the official site you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: totally instead of the you know other stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and a lot of you find those first, but
Speaker 2: then you make your way to us, and for that
Speaker 2: we love you.
Speaker 1: Yes, thank you for finishing my thought. Yeah, it's almost
Speaker 1: completely electus. All right, before we get to the new
Speaker 1: Awkward Tuesday, what is a comment that you want to read?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Charlie's test us said, I'm traveling solo around Europe
Speaker 2: for three months and have been listening to your podcast
Speaker 2: in every country I visit. I now associate your episodes
Speaker 2: with places I've been.
Speaker 1: That's so cool. He's like, oh, I remember the Leading
Speaker 1: Tower of Pisa. That's when, yeah, Jacqueline broke up with Bobby.
Speaker 3: What's the coolest place you've ever laughed at us?
Speaker 4: I like that.
Speaker 5: That's cool.
Speaker 1: Well, I have a good, safe trip and we're all
Speaker 1: slightly jealous. Yeah, let us know.
Speaker 4: Where today is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and give us some hot travel tips. We're always
Speaker 1: about that. All right, let's get your brand new Awkward Tuesday.
Speaker 3: Right now, alexis, what's the most romantic thing a guy
Speaker 3: has ever done for you?
Speaker 4: Like a rose petal path, like a hot tub? Probably?
Speaker 3: Whoa, Yeah, that was your reaction. You broke it off,
Speaker 3: not immediately.
Speaker 1: Accept it and remix to a song.
Speaker 4: Hey they're Delilah, but hey they're Alexis.
Speaker 1: That one bad? Yeah?
Speaker 3: You didn't like any of it?
Speaker 1: No, same guy, dude.
Speaker 3: Apparently you and our listener on the phone today are
Speaker 3: very very similar because when her boyfriend of four months
Speaker 3: told her the gesture that he'd been planning, her immediate
Speaker 3: response was to try and stop him from doing it
Speaker 3: at all costs. And that's where we come in. Can
Speaker 3: we help convince this romeo to tone it down without
Speaker 3: fully crushing his romantic spirit. We're gonna try on your
Speaker 3: brand new awkward Tuesday phone call next.
Speaker 1: It's awkward, It's Tuesday.
Speaker 3: It's awkward Tuesday phone call. Some people in relationships enjoy
Speaker 3: grand romantic gestures like surprise getaways, sending dozens of roses,
Speaker 3: creating a life sized wax sculpture of your girlfriend, then
Speaker 3: lighting it on fire because it's actually a giant scented candle.
Speaker 3: Just you and her and your house full of cranberry cinnamons.
Speaker 1: That's better than burning hair.
Speaker 3: But you know what, stop the music real quick, because
Speaker 3: not everybody wants that stuff. Like our listener Lindsay, who's
Speaker 3: asking for our help today to tell her boyfriend chill
Speaker 3: out with the romance. Lindsay, why do you insist on
Speaker 3: pushing love away?
Speaker 5: Hi?
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's like, I don't know how to respond to that.
Speaker 6: Nice to start a convo.
Speaker 1: That's really funny, Lindsay.
Speaker 3: Hi, Lindsay, So tell us what's going on with you
Speaker 3: and your boyfriend? What's his deal?
Speaker 7: So I've been dating Andre for about four months and
Speaker 7: new relationship.
Speaker 1: I see.
Speaker 3: That's the best part too. It's exciting clearly not for her.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I mean, listen, he's very sweet, he's romantic,
Speaker 7: like he is a great guy. But like it's only
Speaker 7: been four months, you know, it's still very early.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay it.
Speaker 7: The other day he came up to me with this
Speaker 7: idea that he wants to get a tattoo of my
Speaker 7: name on his.
Speaker 1: Leg on his leg not so do we go back
Speaker 1: to the couple dozens of flowers? That's bad.
Speaker 6: I mean, you could be together for twenty years and
Speaker 6: still that's a sketchy ass.
Speaker 1: Why why would he want to put Lindsay on his leg?
Speaker 7: Okay, so this is also a red flag. He says
Speaker 7: he wants other women to know that they can't have
Speaker 7: him he's mine, which is, you know, nice, But.
Speaker 1: They only know if he's wearing shorts.
Speaker 3: It could be on the kneecap brook.
Speaker 1: Still, how do you see it underpants.
Speaker 3: With a hole in your jeans?
Speaker 1: I see right? Okay, so this is his way of
Speaker 1: deterring other women.
Speaker 3: Because he's obviously so desired.
Speaker 7: God, but you're going to get a kick out of
Speaker 7: this one though, because it's he wants to cover up
Speaker 7: an old tattoo of a different girlfriend's name.
Speaker 3: Well, that's good, you don't want another girlfriend's name.
Speaker 1: Wait, but the first girlfriend's name didn't deter you.
Speaker 7: I didn't know about that till a week ago.
Speaker 3: Eye contact, everything above the belts. He is smart.
Speaker 6: If you have another girl's name on your leg, you
Speaker 6: should probably not tell a woman until two three years
Speaker 6: into the relationship.
Speaker 1: How does this man not learn his mistake? Right, He's
Speaker 1: already made the mistake once and now he he wants
Speaker 1: to do it again.
Speaker 7: Essentially, right, that's exactly what I'm saying, but now he's
Speaker 7: already made an appointment, and I need to have a
Speaker 7: serious conversation with him about this.
Speaker 3: Okay, the appointment's been made. Yeah, wow, so you're not
Speaker 3: into the idea, Like what is giving you so much
Speaker 3: hesitation about it?
Speaker 7: Like specifically, Well, one, it's way too early in the relationship.
Speaker 7: It's four months, and I don't think that matters to him.
Speaker 7: I think he likes to move quickly. I think it'll
Speaker 7: make things really awkward and put way more pressure on
Speaker 7: a relationship. It already is putting pressure on the relationship.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's like an obligation to stay together because
Speaker 1: your name's tattooed in relays.
Speaker 6: He said I love you yet No, Okay, that's good.
Speaker 3: He shouldn't have But you would think that he doesn't
Speaker 3: have to say I love you when he can write
Speaker 3: it getting tattooed, have you?
Speaker 1: So it's wild that you haven't said no, that's not
Speaker 1: a good idea to me. Why Why have you just
Speaker 1: told him that outright?
Speaker 7: I just I don't want to crush him because he
Speaker 7: is a sensitive guy and this is a big deal
Speaker 7: for him. But he's already made this mistake once before.
Speaker 7: I don't want to be another mistake.
Speaker 3: I mean, I can understand that's the tough part, because
Speaker 3: when somebody goes all out for you and puts their
Speaker 3: entire heart into something and you come at them like
Speaker 3: ew or that's weird or that's gross, like that could
Speaker 3: totally crush something.
Speaker 1: It's just a terrible decision that he's already made once
Speaker 1: and obviously regretted. So why would she let him do
Speaker 1: it again?
Speaker 3: Exactly? Those words would absolutely destroy him, said, maybe.
Speaker 1: He needs to hear that sometimes the hard truth is
Speaker 1: just what has to happen.
Speaker 4: He thinks it's for her, but she doesn't want to
Speaker 4: add all.
Speaker 6: Yes, I think he's romanticizing it in his head.
Speaker 1: It's just so hard to call it romantic when it's
Speaker 1: over the top of another woman's name.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So we haven't given our advice yet, but it
Speaker 3: sounds like from the temperature in the room, it's going
Speaker 3: to be pretty harsh.
Speaker 4: I mean, we cover it in other ways. There's tons
Speaker 4: of ways they cover a.
Speaker 3: Bad tattoos, but that's not the ro mantic way that
Speaker 3: he wants to do. How do you like deliver that
Speaker 3: message to him in a gentle way? Yeah, that doesn't
Speaker 3: crush him.
Speaker 7: That's what I'm trying to figure out right now. I
Speaker 7: mean Tom gently, like Brooke, imagine if jaff got your
Speaker 7: name tatted in his arm without asking.
Speaker 1: You, we just have to cut the arm off. I
Speaker 1: mean that would be the only solution.
Speaker 3: I mean that would be extra weird because Brooke and
Speaker 3: I aren't like romantically together or anything like that. I
Speaker 3: don't want to get to show logo tatted that, but
Speaker 3: it'd be a weird romantic gesture for someone you're not dating.
Speaker 1: That's not romantic. I just think tattoos should be like
Speaker 1: a selfish thing, like whatever you want, not for someone else.
Speaker 7: Got it? Yeah, I agree too.
Speaker 3: Okay, So with that being said, Andre wants to do this,
Speaker 3: maybe just for himself, oh so to prove to himself
Speaker 3: how much he loves her. This is his own challenge, how.
Speaker 4: You love the last girl?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just curious. What was the last girl's name?
Speaker 7: Tiffany?
Speaker 1: That's good and they both why So there's that you
Speaker 1: don't have to cover.
Speaker 3: Easier for him. But we're gonna try to convince him
Speaker 3: to not go through with that. When we come back.
Speaker 3: Give you our advice and let you make your awkward
Speaker 3: Tuesday phone call to your boyfriend to convince him not
Speaker 3: to get a tattoo of your name on his leg.
Speaker 1: Yes, this is to cover up his ex's name.
Speaker 3: We're gonna skip that part.
Speaker 1: It's important.
Speaker 3: We'll do it right after this. Hold on, it's awkward.
Speaker 1: It's Tuesday.
Speaker 3: It's awkward Tuesday phone call. You've heard of the five
Speaker 3: love languages, Well, tattooing people's names should be the sixth. Yeah,
Speaker 3: because that's what our listener, Lindsay is dealing with. She
Speaker 3: has a very romantic minded boyfriend named Andre, who, after
Speaker 3: four months together, has told her I've made an appointment
Speaker 3: to get a tattoo of your name on my leg.
Speaker 3: So that's you know, I'm one hundred percent yours.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, and it's also covering up the ex's name. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good point to bring up. So Lindsey
Speaker 3: thinks it's a little bit too soon to be doing this,
Speaker 3: but regardless, she needs our help on how to tell
Speaker 3: him gently that maybe this isn't the right time for
Speaker 3: something like that, and perhaps we can convince him to
Speaker 3: just think about it, or at least cancel his appointment. Okay,
Speaker 3: So I'm interested to hear what my co hosts have
Speaker 3: to say. Brooke, how would you crush a man's dreams?
Speaker 1: This may be shocking to you, Lindsay, but I think
Speaker 1: you tell him do it.
Speaker 3: And dare him, and.
Speaker 1: Then you follow it up with but do you know
Speaker 1: what would be even more meaningful than my name? Is
Speaker 1: something that we love together, like a symbol. Or maybe
Speaker 1: you both love burritos or you love pickles. I'm thinking
Speaker 1: long and fare with a lot of leaves.
Speaker 3: What do you think about getting a case of rito
Speaker 3: tattooed on both of you?
Speaker 7: Lindsey, I'm not willing to get a tattoo.
Speaker 1: No, I'm not telling you too. I'm just telling him
Speaker 1: to choose one out of something that you both like,
Speaker 1: so that when you break up, it's something he still likes.
Speaker 3: Excuse not when they break up, they're going to be
Speaker 3: together forever.
Speaker 1: I'll that's not the vibe I'm getting.
Speaker 7: No, I love that idea. That's good.
Speaker 3: You still like him, You want to stay with him,
Speaker 3: You just don't want him to get the name tattooed. So, Hose,
Speaker 3: what's your advice?
Speaker 6: I believe there's a compromise here that we start with
Speaker 6: just one letter every year, right and maybe you start.
Speaker 1: With an L okay, so he'll be Liphany for a
Speaker 1: while because it's covering up the.
Speaker 3: For a couple of years that wave. You guys continue
Speaker 3: to date. You can add a letter each year.
Speaker 1: It's like a tradition.
Speaker 3: Lindsay, what do you think that's cute?
Speaker 7: I think that that's an idea and it's just like
Speaker 7: a tally. Then it's not a crazy tattoos.
Speaker 1: Have a big L tattooed on him at first, and
Speaker 1: the second year is I, which is also the start
Speaker 1: of his ex's name. Second letter, So that's good.
Speaker 7: That's good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's like that.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's the best advice that we've had all year.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 3: Thanks, I'm on very low bar that reads out for ourselves.
Speaker 3: But that's what we've got for you. Lindsay, you can
Speaker 3: do what you want with it. But I'm going to
Speaker 3: die your boyfriend's number right now and let you make
Speaker 3: your awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 7: Are you ready? Yes? I'm ready. Hello, Hey, it's me.
Speaker 7: How you doing? Hold day? Good?
Speaker 5: Where are you calling from?
Speaker 7: Oh? I just this different number I had to borrow
Speaker 7: someone still on my phone, dive, It's fine. I'm curious
Speaker 7: how your day is going, what's what's up?
Speaker 6: Good?
Speaker 5: No, then like day go and getting things out. I
Speaker 5: took out the garbage, so that's out there where you go?
Speaker 5: You know, all right? How's you going to go on?
Speaker 5: Then your phone dying? Obviously?
Speaker 7: I know I need to bring a charger with me
Speaker 7: everywhere I go, But I wanted to discuss something with
Speaker 7: you real quick. Do you have time? Yeah?
Speaker 5: I could take a break from pick out the trash
Speaker 5: for good.
Speaker 7: Yes, okay, thank you. So this tattoo idea that you
Speaker 7: brought up to me the other day.
Speaker 5: That I don't wait to get Trippany's name off me.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I can't wait for you to stop saying
Speaker 7: her name too. But I think maybe we could do
Speaker 7: something a little more meaningful than my name, and maybe
Speaker 7: you could get something like that we both love together,
Speaker 7: like chips and caso crosses my mind, or how we
Speaker 7: both love Neopolitan stuff pizza. I think that could be
Speaker 7: a cute tattoo that could definitely cover up her name.
Speaker 7: What's the deal? You are you from drugs or something?
Speaker 7: What's what? Why would you even say that? No? Because
Speaker 7: I'm as cute.
Speaker 1: It's cute and all, but it's like I want your
Speaker 1: name on it so.
Speaker 5: That everyone else knows I'm taken. I don't want them
Speaker 5: to think I'm taken by chips and Caeso.
Speaker 7: I understand that, But I think the biggest reason why
Speaker 7: I'm bringing this up is that you don't even know
Speaker 7: if you love me yet, so tattooing my name on
Speaker 7: your body just seems like a really big jump.
Speaker 5: You know what I mean, Babe, you don't know if
Speaker 5: I love you or not?
Speaker 3: Are you serious?
Speaker 7: Well, I mean, you haven't said it, so how would
Speaker 7: I know.
Speaker 5: I mean, I'll say it right now on the phot
Speaker 5: I love you, like it's been four months. Some people
Speaker 5: just know, you know, it's just sorry. Like I thought,
Speaker 5: with all the with everything that I've showing you and
Speaker 5: done and putting, you know, wanted to tap to your name.
Speaker 5: I felt like it was almost implied.
Speaker 7: But yeah, I love you, Okay, I this is how
Speaker 7: you're going to say I love you for the first time.
Speaker 7: We've been dating for four months. I think that four
Speaker 7: months is a little too soon to be exclaiming love
Speaker 7: for each other, don't you.
Speaker 5: But for some people just know, and I mean four months,
Speaker 5: some people just know in less time than that, you know,
Speaker 5: like do you have that feeling like you don't you
Speaker 5: don't feel the same way.
Speaker 7: Well, of course I feel that way. Yeah, but I'm
Speaker 7: just trying to wrap my head around it.
Speaker 5: Well what if you know, what if you wrap your
Speaker 5: head around this?
Speaker 7: What if.
Speaker 3: You were my wife?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 7: What did you just say?
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, let's be one about it. Lin you
Speaker 5: who you married?
Speaker 7: Me?
Speaker 6: Get the button?
Speaker 3: So much earlier was waiting for the answer from Lindsay.
Speaker 4: I think we know it?
Speaker 1: Did he pass out? Andre?
Speaker 6: Hello?
Speaker 5: What's going on?
Speaker 7: Who is this? Hey?
Speaker 3: Andrea? H This is a radio show that you're on
Speaker 3: right now called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 1: We have never heard so much done in one small conversation.
Speaker 5: So we're on the radio right now.
Speaker 1: Yes, that make it more romantic.
Speaker 3: I mean, had I known, I would have planned better, but.
Speaker 1: Or planned it all my friend?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean yeah, you guys call me off garb
Speaker 5: but whatever. Like I said it before, when you know,
Speaker 5: you know, and some people just know when it's time,
Speaker 5: like okay, you.
Speaker 1: Are a spontaneous man.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't know how how Lindsay's feeling about this right now, Lindsay,
Speaker 3: you're still there.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm still here's.
Speaker 1: Here for a second. That was a long time I was.
Speaker 3: Okay, So there was a lot said there in the
Speaker 3: last few minutes. You should probably just talk to Andre
Speaker 3: about the feelings and the questions that are all coming
Speaker 3: out at once, even though if we did trust.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that's a good idea too, that would
Speaker 7: be the time.
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, I didn't really necessarily hear an answer, so.
Speaker 3: The question still sticks.
Speaker 7: I have to say no to.
Speaker 3: The chips and caeso. That's what you're saying no to,
Speaker 3: lindsay every question, Jeff.
Speaker 7: I think it's moving way too fast and it's starting
Speaker 7: to freak me out a bit. And as much as
Speaker 7: I adore you, I don't want to be just another
Speaker 7: name touching on your body that you're trying to cover
Speaker 7: up in the year.
Speaker 5: Okay, So I think I get it. It's not necessarily
Speaker 5: like a no, it's more like a not yet.
Speaker 1: That's a positive spin.
Speaker 7: You look at it that way.
Speaker 3: Okay, to all the questions that have been posed today,
Speaker 3: not yet.
Speaker 1: The tattoo, you, the L word, yeah.
Speaker 3: Any other big moves you were thinking of making right now, Andre, Well,
Speaker 3: we probably don't even want to go there.
Speaker 1: Why are you trying to fast forward everything.
Speaker 3: I know, it's not like a garbage that you're taking
Speaker 3: out really quickly. You want to take your time and
Speaker 3: enjoy it.
Speaker 5: I feel like these guys are trying to tell us
Speaker 5: how to live our romantic life.
Speaker 1: He's not wrong, we are We're trying to help them.
Speaker 3: Truly, Lindsay came to us seeking advice on how to
Speaker 3: have this conversation with you, because as much as she
Speaker 3: really enjoys your relationship and likes you, Andre, a lot
Speaker 3: of these steps are happening too quickly for her speed.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Absolutely, Okay, are you hearing her?
Speaker 1: Andre?
Speaker 5: Like I said, I'm all on the way. If if it,
Speaker 5: that's what's going to lead to then and.
Speaker 3: If you listen to how about tonight at home? You
Speaker 3: get some not scho caso dip and some Neapolitan pizza
Speaker 3: and you see what words come out of your mouth there.
Speaker 5: But in the meantime, what am I supposed to do
Speaker 5: with this Tiffany?
Speaker 3: Probably stop mentioning.
Speaker 1: Her first thing?
Speaker 3: Maybe just do a big black box on that one.
Speaker 1: Just wear pants man.
Speaker 5: All right, we'll figure something else on the cover of them.
Speaker 3: Look at that. What an understanding guy.
Speaker 1: I hope you share pictures of it with us.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we'll definitely send pictures.
Speaker 4: And Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 3: That call definitely lived up to the billing. It was
Speaker 3: certainly awkward. But you know what's going to be really
Speaker 3: awkward is if we check in in a few months
Speaker 3: and Andre's back together with Tiffany because he couldn't get her.
Speaker 1: Name off of her like I didn't even think about that.
Speaker 3: No, No, maybe he just felt like it was fake
Speaker 3: that point, or you only date Tiffany's yes.
Speaker 1: Another There are a lot of options out there. Sorry,
Speaker 1: Lindsay if you're listening.
Speaker 3: To Sorry Lindsay, but we did achieve a lot. We
Speaker 3: got Andre to cancel his upcoming tattoo appointment. We sure, Yeah,
Speaker 3: seemed like he was definitely backing off. We helped shut
Speaker 3: down his marriage proposal, and we made him question whether
Speaker 3: his girlfriend even loves him at all. Good work, team, Yeah,
Speaker 3: and we could do the same Wonders on your blossoming
Speaker 3: relationship If you email the show, we'll help you call
Speaker 3: whoever you need, give you a little advice, and help
Speaker 3: you settle all the problems that are going on in
