Speaker 2: really good at it.

Speaker 4: Alexis Yeah, I saw an insta. Red Marwin said, greetings
Speaker 4: from North Africa. I listen to your Second Date update
Speaker 4: every day for lunch, so now when you pop up
Speaker 4: on my feet, I get hungry.
Speaker 3: That's really funny.
Speaker 1: Lunchtime, I guess now and your stomach are absolutely all right.
Speaker 1: We'll get your food order prepared. My friend. Yes, she's
Speaker 1: a phone call starts right now.
Speaker 3: I love women in relationships.
Speaker 1: That's nice.
Speaker 3: It's weird when you like that.
Speaker 1: It is a little off putting. I like it.
Speaker 3: They're always saying to their men, we don't want to
Speaker 3: change you. We don't want to step on who you are. Meanwhile, though,
Speaker 3: rearrange your apartment, overhaul your wardrobe, sign you up for
Speaker 3: couples therapy sessions where the lady counselor really thinks you
Speaker 3: should be listening to your girlfriend a lot more. She's
Speaker 3: not changing, she's improved.
Speaker 1: Thank us later.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're not trying to change us if you're.
Speaker 2: Trying to better society, Jeff, Yeah, yeah, and I love
Speaker 2: that about you.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 3: In fact, we have a listener on the phone right
Speaker 3: now who says she loves her boyfriend just the way
Speaker 3: he is, except the one thing he loves to do
Speaker 3: the most has to stop. Oh and hold on. When
Speaker 3: she explains why he needs to stop forever, I'm sure
Speaker 3: we'll all be totally on her side. It's your brand
Speaker 3: new awkward Tuesday phone call coming up right after this.
Speaker 3: It's awkward. It's it's awkward Tuesday phone call. It still
Speaker 3: boggles my mind sometimes that total strangers will come to
Speaker 3: ask us for dating advice? Are we really the best
Speaker 3: group for that? Alexis has been banned from Riyah Hinge
Speaker 3: and at least three Portuguese male meetup sites in her past,
Speaker 3: Josean has sworn off all women and dating for the
Speaker 3: moments at least, and Brooks last relationship ended in a
Speaker 3: marriage and site for that either.
Speaker 1: Over a decade.
Speaker 3: Oh god, what a nightmare. But despite all of that,
Speaker 3: it hasn't deterred a woman named Amy from email our show,
Speaker 3: seeking our quote romantic wisdom.
Speaker 1: So, Amy, mind's a failure.
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, Jeff, nobody wants that, Amy. What were
Speaker 3: you thinking coming to this group for help?
Speaker 5: I'm just looking for help wherever I can get it.
Speaker 1: Okay, So she wasn't thinking, Jeff.
Speaker 3: Okay, yes I.
Speaker 1: Heard fourth up.
Speaker 3: Yes, total desperation brought to you here, and that's totally
Speaker 3: okay with you.
Speaker 1: Expensive Mary, Yes.
Speaker 3: Okay, tell us what is the situation that you're dealing with?
Speaker 3: How can we help you?
Speaker 5: So I'm in a you a relationship with the sky.
Speaker 5: We've been casually dating for a few months. Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 5: I mean I think he's great. He does something that's
Speaker 5: like it's turning into a big pet peeve of mine already.
Speaker 3: You're only a couple months in a man annoying a woman. No,
Speaker 3: that can't happen. Why what does he do well?
Speaker 5: He loves to sing along to music in a car
Speaker 5: and he has a terrible voice to him or anything.
Speaker 1: My husband's been into whistling lately. I feel like.
Speaker 4: Singing bad is better than just not singing it all
Speaker 4: on a car that's so boring.
Speaker 3: Why is it so problematic for you, Amy?
Speaker 5: Because it's just really annoying. It's a pet peeve. I
Speaker 5: don't need him to be singing in my ear Like
Speaker 5: it's cue for.
Speaker 3: Like one song and then it's like four or five songs.
Speaker 3: You're like, can you just hum? Watch me hit this
Speaker 3: adele high notes?
Speaker 2: Okay, So it sounds like it's almost an ick right, Like.
Speaker 1: It's like a turn off.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he never stops. It doesn't matter what station genre,
Speaker 5: he just keeps going.
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, is it possible for you to just drive
Speaker 2: separate cars everywhere?
Speaker 3: Awkward? So you said you've never brought it up to him.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know it's not that serious of an issue,
Speaker 5: but yeah, it's becoming a bigger problem where I need
Speaker 5: to do something about it.
Speaker 3: Okay, it's just enough of a problem it needs to
Speaker 3: be addressed now, I see. So why is this becoming
Speaker 3: a bigger problem for you.
Speaker 5: Then, Well, because we've planned a seven day road trip
Speaker 5: that's coming up.
Speaker 2: Girl, you could only take trips with this man in
Speaker 2: an airplane.
Speaker 1: That's just I think the new rules.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and put your earbonds in your air buds in
Speaker 3: a seven day road trip a long one day.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: When we booked it, I don't know this was going
Speaker 5: to be an all day, everyday thing.
Speaker 3: This is like the one of those vacations that you
Speaker 3: dread and you see it on the calendar, You're like,
Speaker 3: oh god, I'm have to suffer through.
Speaker 1: I've figured out before. You can't break up mid road trip.
Speaker 3: Yea, yeah, oh my god.
Speaker 2: And you don't want it to ruin your trip. I
Speaker 2: mean you don't want to show up every place you
Speaker 2: go being in a bad mood, right, gotcha?
Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean we're driving to one of his best
Speaker 5: friend's wedding and I am honestly just dreading the car ride.
Speaker 5: I feel like I need to say something to him
Speaker 5: before or this triple one hundred. The relationship has.
Speaker 3: To be a compromise.
Speaker 1: You can't just say no singing. I feel like you
Speaker 1: need to find a podcast or a book on tape people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so has that come up before between you two.
Speaker 5: I've tried a podcast or a book on tape, but
Speaker 5: he just loves music.
Speaker 4: Intense migraines.
Speaker 1: This man. I don't want to break him.
Speaker 2: I love a man that will sing in the car
Speaker 2: no matter how bad it is, and I don't want
Speaker 2: to ride with him. So I also understand your dilemma.
Speaker 3: She was uncomfortable with you.
Speaker 5: I'm in the car with him for seven days.
Speaker 6: Okay, I don't want to open.
Speaker 5: The car door and jump out on the freeway.
Speaker 3: That's too bad because that was going to be Jose's
Speaker 3: advice when we take back. Yeah, talking rolling in the deep?
Speaker 1: Now, Okay, how do you tell him? Is that your question?
Speaker 1: How do you tell him without breaking his spirit?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I just don't know how to have a conversation with him. But,
Speaker 5: like you said, hurting feeling. I mean, he's a pretty
Speaker 5: supidive guy.
Speaker 3: Sensitive of us have ever had to have this conversation
Speaker 3: with anybody either? Are Okay? You need advice for have
Speaker 3: a tough, honest conversation about a guy singing. So we're
Speaker 3: gonna come back. We're gonna give you our take on
Speaker 3: the situation, and then we will let you call your boyfriend.
Speaker 6: Oh, astutely.
Speaker 5: I should mention I did ask my expert advice on
Speaker 5: this too, so I'm not totally.
Speaker 7: Of the dog.
Speaker 2: I called your ex boyfriend for advice on your current
Speaker 2: book friend.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's really smart about like social situation stuff, especially
Speaker 5: when it's dealing with other guys. I thought he could help.
Speaker 3: If you say break up, why don't you just use
Speaker 3: his advice?
Speaker 7: Then?
Speaker 3: Why why would you come to us?
Speaker 7: Then? Well?
Speaker 5: I wanted to see if you guys have better advice
Speaker 5: a way by option.
Speaker 3: What's your ex's name?
Speaker 5: His name is Clint.
Speaker 1: Why do you like that?
Speaker 3: A little bit of a romance in there, But okay,
Speaker 3: when we return, we'll get advice from Brook Jose and
Speaker 3: from Clint, and then let you call your current boyfriend
Speaker 3: to tell him not to ruin your road trip with
Speaker 3: his terrible, horrible, off key singing. When we do your
Speaker 3: awkward Tuesday phone call right after this, it's awkward. It's
Speaker 3: it's awkward Tuesday phone call. If you're just joining us
Speaker 3: for the awkward Tuesday phone call, here's the situation we're in.
Speaker 3: Our listener, Amy is dreading an upcoming road trip with
Speaker 3: her new boyfriend Tim because he's one of those people
Speaker 3: who sings passionately along to car music. Yes, and not
Speaker 3: in the cute James Corden car karaoke kind of way.
Speaker 3: He has a terrible voice and doesn't seem to know
Speaker 3: end or care. So Amy understands this really shouldn't be
Speaker 3: a big serious conversation that she has to have, but
Speaker 3: it kind of is because it's going to ruin that
Speaker 3: road trip coming up, at least ruin it for her.
Speaker 1: Yes, and it's.
Speaker 3: It's a lot. And normally we'd get Brooke and Jose
Speaker 3: to weigh in with their advice before we make the call,
Speaker 3: but this time there's a third person, a guy named
Speaker 3: Clint y Amy's ex boyfriend, because she asked him for
Speaker 3: advice on it too. So I guess let's hear what
Speaker 3: Clint had to say on the matter. What were his thoughts, Amy.
Speaker 5: Clint told me to tell him that every time he
Speaker 5: sings and reminds me of my ask.
Speaker 3: Oh, oh, it reminds you of Clint. Oh that's actly
Speaker 3: pretty good.
Speaker 1: I mean, it would get your current boyfriend to stop.
Speaker 1: It might cause a different argument in the car now, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it does sound like Clint wants you to
Speaker 2: think of him as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think it's the worst advice, but you
Speaker 3: said you were open to hearing more so, Jose, what
Speaker 3: do you think. Well, if his mouth is busy, he
Speaker 3: can't sing, So stock up on snacks.
Speaker 1: You need multiple coolers of snacks.
Speaker 2: You need pepperoni, you need trail makes, you need chips,
Speaker 2: anything to keep him quiet and fed.
Speaker 3: Okay, what do you think of that? Amy?
Speaker 5: That sounds like a really good idea. Actually, but i'd
Speaker 5: want to stack to.
Speaker 1: You to a wedding. No, you can't fload it on sodio.
Speaker 3: But it is funny that the image of her like
Speaker 3: shoving carrots in his mouth the entire drive. What's your advice?
Speaker 2: I think you go the opposite way where you tell
Speaker 2: him that you just saw this new viral trend. Remember
Speaker 2: when people were raw dogging on planes like they weren't
Speaker 2: doing any tablets or.
Speaker 1: Music or anything.
Speaker 2: You saw that. Now it's taken over for car trips,
Speaker 2: and now it's good for couples to only have conversation.
Speaker 3: What do you think about asking your boyfriend a raw
Speaker 3: dog on the road trip?
Speaker 5: You can try it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you.
Speaker 3: Help them. We're not talking about what you're thinking. Raw
Speaker 3: dogging as in not listening to any music, not looking
Speaker 3: at any screens, no entertainment, no even talking to each other.
Speaker 1: Okay, talking to each other, he said, that's the whole point.
Speaker 2: He's talking to each other, Okay, and it'll help them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, your listening skills are questionable.
Speaker 2: You'd be terrible in a seven hour car.
Speaker 3: I'm dogging this conversation, and we're just gonna call your
Speaker 3: boyfriend Tim to Missouri. I'm not apologizing for that. So
Speaker 3: here we go. I'm gonna die his number. We'll step
Speaker 3: away and let you talk to him if he picks up.
Speaker 3: But good luck, you got.
Speaker 5: This, Amy, Thank you.
Speaker 3: Okay, here we go.
Speaker 7: Hello, Hi, Oh hey baby, what's happening. What are you
Speaker 7: up to?
Speaker 6: Not much?
Speaker 5: I just wanted to call and see how your days going.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, it's good. I just got back from the
Speaker 7: gym and picked up the like the market sushi. You
Speaker 7: know it's I'm selling Wednesday. So oh, I saw I
Speaker 7: heard this great song on the radio and I was
Speaker 7: thinking about you as a thing in the car.
Speaker 5: What was the song?
Speaker 7: Oh man, it's uh, I can't remember the name of it,
Speaker 7: but it's by two feet It's like uh, you know.
Speaker 8: It's like ah, no, you know, and it's like and
Speaker 8: then it kind of like repeats and and then.
Speaker 7: It's like and then it goes like even deeper in no, no,
Speaker 7: you know, it's almost like but like backwards and inside out.
Speaker 5: Oh, I don't know that one. It's really nice though,
Speaker 5: thank you. Yeah. Actually it's good that you brought up
Speaker 5: singing and stuff, because that's the kind of the reason
Speaker 5: why I called you.
Speaker 7: Oh what were you thinking of a solity you were
Speaker 7: in the car? Well, I love it on my.
Speaker 5: Mind a little bit about a road trip coming up,
Speaker 5: and you know how you like to sing every second
Speaker 5: of being in the car.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean it's like our thing.
Speaker 5: What do you mean it's our thing?
Speaker 7: Well, you know, like it's it's our thing, like you know,
Speaker 7: like my past girlfriends, you know, they shut it down
Speaker 7: and whatnot. But like you love that I do that
Speaker 7: with you, and like you let me be me and
Speaker 7: I love that and we just have a great time.
Speaker 7: And you know, I even love it when you do
Speaker 7: that thing and you cholege me like halfway through this
Speaker 7: all you like change the radio station and it goes
Speaker 7: to another song, and then I got to keep up,
Speaker 7: and then I got to play along and I'm like,
Speaker 7: sometimes I don't know the lyrics, but sometimes I'm making
Speaker 7: them up as I go. I love that. We're so cute.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we are so cute.
Speaker 7: Yeah, So what's up baby? Well, you know, I just
Speaker 7: I love talking to you. But like, what do you
Speaker 7: got going on? What are you doing?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm good.
Speaker 5: It's just that it's a really long road trip. It's
Speaker 5: about like seven days, right, have you have you thought
Speaker 5: about that?
Speaker 7: Yeah? Actually, you know, Okay, I was thinking that this
Speaker 7: was going to be a surprise, but I'm feeling the moment.
Speaker 7: It makes sense right now. And uh, I was going
Speaker 7: to tell you on the road, but my friend he
Speaker 7: was getting married this week or not this week, next week, whatever,
Speaker 7: you know what it is. You know, I've got this
Speaker 7: song and I thought that maybe we could practice it
Speaker 7: in the car and maybe sing it together at the wedding.
Speaker 7: And actually, I have a few options. I've got this
Speaker 7: little little play listening. So I even called it like
Speaker 7: a duets with my future wife, like whatever, oh no.
Speaker 3: We got another problem.
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 3: Did you say what I thought?
Speaker 6: He said?
Speaker 7: Wait a wait, what's happening? Are so.
Speaker 1: She just said, what's the title of the play She's
Speaker 1: in disbelief.
Speaker 3: We'll get to that. But you should know right now, Tim,
Speaker 3: that you're on the radio. I know you love listening
Speaker 3: to the radio, and you're on a show called Broken
Speaker 3: Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 7: I know. No, yeah, I thought our first time on
Speaker 7: the radio would be singing.
Speaker 1: Well we did hear you hum a little too?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Yeah no, but I'm actually like much better than that,
Speaker 7: like like that. Oh man, it's still awkward.
Speaker 3: You have no idea how awkward it is. It's actually
Speaker 3: called the awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're such a you sound like a good guy.
Speaker 1: You do.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I means usually I think so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a lot though.
Speaker 7: That all right?
Speaker 5: Wait wait, Tim, what was the name of the playoffs?
Speaker 3: Do you want to Oh you want to hear?
Speaker 7: Uh? Yeah? Do it? That's my future what future wife.
Speaker 5: That's the sweetest thing I've ever heard.
Speaker 1: You like it?
Speaker 5: Oh, you're in Okay, guys, I love him. I know
Speaker 5: that we have issues, but I loved him.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 3: Okay, it's very understanding.
Speaker 7: I mean, like, wait, what issues?
Speaker 5: Oh, sometimes when we're out running errands or driving to
Speaker 5: Chotle or whatever. I I know you love to sing,
Speaker 5: but sometimes it's too much for me, and I was
Speaker 5: kind of hoping during the trip.
Speaker 2: We were like, done, If you're going to be a
Speaker 2: future wife, you got to be future honestly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, she's going for.
Speaker 5: Maybe even raw dog it you anyway.
Speaker 2: We interrupted you you need to finish.
Speaker 3: Tim sounded interested in that suggestion.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I've always been into the raw dog situation.
Speaker 1: Well, no, Amy explained what you're saying.
Speaker 3: Give him some context, Amy, So you know.
Speaker 6: Raw dog on airplanes, so they without any music or
Speaker 6: its to make you feel more grounded and build a
Speaker 6: sharp bonds of people. So maybe we could go hours
Speaker 6: or days even without talking or singing or anything.
Speaker 7: Wait, you want a raw dog on the airplane?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, but also.
Speaker 2: All right, she wants to have deep, long, meaningful conversations
Speaker 2: with you on the road track.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's where maybe the music is off for just
Speaker 1: a little while.
Speaker 3: What do you think of that? Tim?
Speaker 7: So wait, what does raw dog you have to do
Speaker 7: with that?
Speaker 3: Well, that's like the viral probably Anyway, it sounds like
Speaker 3: you're in a good spot in your relationship before taking
Speaker 3: this road trip together. You can find a good compromise
Speaker 3: for what to do for seven whole days. A lot
Speaker 3: of activities you could squeeze in there.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I'm always down for.
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, I know, I know, Tim, You're you're up
Speaker 3: for whatever Amy wants. But me, are you good? You
Speaker 3: feel satisfied without this call?
Speaker 7: Went?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I mean I think if we just tried pushing the
Speaker 5: off button on your brain and give silence a chance
Speaker 5: while for traveling, that'd be awesome.
Speaker 2: You give silence. That is the bumper sticker of your
Speaker 2: road trip.
Speaker 1: Freaking Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 3: Okay, Brook, from now on, no more suggesting raw dogging
Speaker 3: to our listeners. Advice.
Speaker 1: That's what the viral trend was called on.
Speaker 3: Not enough people know what the term is though, especially
Speaker 3: on our show. Yeah, nobody listens to us, Especially guys
Speaker 3: end up taking that the wrong way and then they
Speaker 3: get all their hopes up and it leads to a
Speaker 3: really disappointing car.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm never one to worry about men's dreams being dashed,
Speaker 2: so it's fine.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I'm sure you would do the other thing
Speaker 3: on your car rides, So that's probably.
Speaker 1: Don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 3: Okay, sure you don't, but at least at least that
Speaker 3: couple sounded really sweet. Together, and I thought for sure
Speaker 3: she might freak out at the playlist's name, but honestly,
Speaker 3: she seemed to like the label of future. I was like, whoa,
Speaker 3: and she was like, wait, this is the playlist I
Speaker 3: want exactly.
Speaker 1: They could be so cute.
Speaker 2: He sounded like a great boyfriend after the road trip, though.
Speaker 1: I want him to hear about if they.
Speaker 3: Get married, do they do a duet at the wedding or.
Speaker 6: Just in performing.
Speaker 2: What's funny is he didn't say whether his best friend
Speaker 2: who's getting married, asked him.
Speaker 1: If he was just going to show up and do
Speaker 1: it a.
Speaker 3: Little bit of a surprise. Yeah, you guys got a
Speaker 3: couple of extra mics back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's how I feel like it's going to go
Speaker 1: down for sure.
Speaker 3: I feel like we helped out that couple. And if
