Speaker 1: You ever tried to play a joke on a friend
Speaker 1: or a coworker that immediately backfired?
Speaker 2: I bet I can't think of it now, but I'm
Speaker 2: sure that's happening.
Speaker 1: Like when Brooke tried to trick me into eating an
Speaker 1: impossible burger and handed me an old tupperware filled with
Speaker 1: salad and then a whole burger patty on top of
Speaker 1: it with some corn sprinkled on the top. Plus she
Speaker 1: held her phone directly in front of her while giving
Speaker 1: it to me. But just terrible, zero finesse on that.
Speaker 3: Brook.
Speaker 4: My problem with pranks is I'm not a good liar,
Speaker 4: That's my problem.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't mean that she's a bad person, She's
Speaker 1: just a bad prankster, Okay. And that's exactly what happened
Speaker 1: to one of our listeners recently who was trying to
Speaker 1: prank her boyfriend for a TikTok video, And like Brook,
Speaker 1: she failed miserably. But this woman failed so badly that
Speaker 1: now her relationship could get super messy if we don't
Speaker 1: jumping in help.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I say we're still good.
Speaker 1: We can't sprinkle corn on top of it, Brook and
Speaker 1: call it Okay, you're gonna hear what happened in your
Speaker 1: brand new awkward Tuesday phone call right after this.
Speaker 4: Try it some day.
Speaker 5: I like it.
Speaker 1: It's awkward, it's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday phone call. The
Speaker 1: cutest couples out there, and Brooke would agree with me
Speaker 1: on this, Okay, are the ones who openly lie and
Speaker 1: prank each other for laughs?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: Actually yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure.
Speaker 1: Not to spoil it, but Brooke is planning to fake
Speaker 1: her own death of Thanksgiving this year just to make
Speaker 1: her husband cry. And then while he's sobbing on the floor,
Speaker 1: she's going to pop out of the turkey and say,
Speaker 1: you idiot, you're stuck with me?
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then he's gonna cry harder.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The laughs keep on coming at the Fox Family Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4: It's time.
Speaker 1: It's true love, and nobody understands that sentiment more than
Speaker 1: our listener, Sophia, who who's a prankster just like Brooke.
Speaker 4: Oh Sophia, you dead too, Sophia, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 5: How are you okay?
Speaker 4: Are you doing okay? You sound like you're almost cry laughing.
Speaker 5: Because I think your own death is like death genius.
Speaker 4: It's the idea I actually wouldn't recommend that Sophia.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was just a She's not really going to
Speaker 1: do that, but clearly something's going on with you and
Speaker 1: your Is it your husband or your boyfriend?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's my boyfriend, and I might have to pick
Speaker 5: my own death after this one.
Speaker 4: Oh god, idea, Joe, Oh wait, what's it?
Speaker 1: What's your boyfriend's name? By the way, Corey.
Speaker 4: Corey, how long have you guys been together?
Speaker 5: A little over a year?
Speaker 4: Okay, it's new new ish, and.
Speaker 1: What's going on?
Speaker 5: Oh? So, like I totally screwed up. Like I feel
Speaker 5: so bad because I ordered a gag gift to pray
Speaker 5: him and it was a fake positive pregnancy test.
Speaker 4: Oh dude, is the death scare would have been better
Speaker 4: than that? Wait, are you guys trying to have a
Speaker 4: baby or anything?
Speaker 5: No, but I mean like we aren't like using protection
Speaker 5: or anything. So I mean, like, if it just happens,
Speaker 5: it happened, Oh cheer.
Speaker 4: Afterwards, I think, if it happens, oh, I don't know
Speaker 4: after a year, there's a lot of okay it is.
Speaker 1: What was your idea when you ordered this prank gift?
Speaker 5: So what I was thinking was that I was going
Speaker 5: to pull the test out film him for TikTok and
Speaker 5: let him see the results and everything, and then come
Speaker 5: back and film him and telling him that it was
Speaker 5: just a prank.
Speaker 4: Okay, So, so did you think his reaction would be
Speaker 4: negative then to seeing that you're pregnantius?
Speaker 5: I actually thought it would be funny. I thought that
Speaker 5: he would just be surprised, and he knows I'm a prankster,
Speaker 5: So I thought he would, you know, it would just
Speaker 5: go with it and it would just be gree girls, Like.
Speaker 1: He could have cried and been like, oh my god.
Speaker 4: You know, like a fake lottery ticket may have been
Speaker 4: funnier if you have a surprise. Same, we're already it
Speaker 4: sounds like we're already down this road. You've already done it.
Speaker 5: So I bought the test. I put it in a
Speaker 5: drawer because I was going to film them later. I
Speaker 5: went to work and I got a text from him.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 5: He asked me like, so, what's going on? How are
Speaker 5: you feeling? And I'm like I'm well and everything. He
Speaker 5: sent me a picture. I look at it. It's the test.
Speaker 4: Oh no, and grossy, you would just put a peace
Speaker 4: stick in a drawer like that?
Speaker 1: What did you say?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Well, for myself, I was kicking myself in the pants.
Speaker 5: I'm like, Sophia, you idiot, why did you put it there?
Speaker 6: Oh my god?
Speaker 4: She's like, I lost the moment. I'm not going to
Speaker 4: go wrong.
Speaker 5: But I just rolled with it, and I was like, surprise.
Speaker 5: I was going to tell you.
Speaker 4: I got home and oh, why did you do that?
Speaker 5: I didn't know what to do on this panic. I mean,
Speaker 5: he did.
Speaker 1: I don't know were you were you still trying to
Speaker 1: like prank him? Later? Is that the thought?
Speaker 5: Well that's what I figured. I said, Okay, what I'll
Speaker 5: do is that when I get home, I'll just tell
Speaker 5: him that, you know, surprise. I was just joking his
Speaker 5: roll with the whole thing then. But when I got home,
Speaker 5: his sister was there, so he's.
Speaker 4: Told everyone now that you guys are going to have
Speaker 4: a baby.
Speaker 5: He didn't tell everyone, He told her, And when I
Speaker 5: walked in the door, it was like surprise, Oh my god, regulations.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, oh did you feel so bad?
Speaker 1: Or did you tell her that it was a prank
Speaker 1: right there and be like a viral?
Speaker 5: It was just like thank you. But now he wants
Speaker 5: to invite our parents over. He wants to have her dinner.
Speaker 4: Wait, you haven't told him that it isn't a prank yet.
Speaker 5: It's yeah, it's getting out a hand and I don't
Speaker 5: know what to do and I need your help.
Speaker 1: And did I miss how long it's been? How many
Speaker 1: days has he known?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 5: Now it's been about three ds.
Speaker 4: Oh my.
Speaker 1: Process.
Speaker 4: That means you guys have had so many conversations. If
Speaker 4: you talked about baby names, probably already.
Speaker 1: Thinking is it a boy is a girl? Are you
Speaker 1: faking morning sickness every day when you wake up?
Speaker 5: No, I'm faking fatigue like I'm just every time he
Speaker 5: tries to talk about it, I'm really sleepy. But I
Speaker 5: need to break it to him, but I don't want
Speaker 5: him to get upset. So I didn't need a fun
Speaker 5: way to figure I know someone helped me figure out
Speaker 5: a fun way to tell him, like.
Speaker 4: You need our help making sure he doesn't dump you.
Speaker 4: I mean, this is a dumbable offense. It is it is?
Speaker 5: Is there any way that you guys can say that
Speaker 5: you came up with this.
Speaker 1: It's not a bad idea all of us. I was
Speaker 1: going to give the okay, we'll say that Jose, just
Speaker 1: Jose was behind the whole thing.
Speaker 2: Play an elaborate phone tap and I lost your phone
Speaker 2: number and forgot to.
Speaker 4: Call you in That actually seems possible.
Speaker 1: That's one of the ideas we might have for you
Speaker 1: if we're gonna come back and give you more advice
Speaker 1: than let you make your awkward Tuesday phone call to
Speaker 1: your boyfriend to let him know that the positive pregnancy
Speaker 1: test that he found isn't real. It's a joke.
Speaker 5: Haha.
Speaker 4: I don't know that anyone's going to laugh.
Speaker 1: To your job to think of some really funny advice
Speaker 1: when we come back right after this. Hold on, it's awkward.
Speaker 4: It's Tuesday.
Speaker 1: It's awkward Tuesday phone call. We're dealing with a very
Speaker 1: common relationship problem. I mean, who hasn't faked a pregnancy
Speaker 1: with not very.
Speaker 4: Many people, Jeff.
Speaker 1: Not like a planned On this show, at least five
Speaker 1: people have faked one, and there's only four hosts in here.
Speaker 4: Did you fake? Did you fake all of them? Jeff?
Speaker 4: Because it's not very believable if you're Pregnanty's.
Speaker 1: Not for me to say, but one of our listeners
Speaker 1: did try to prank her boy friend recently with a
Speaker 1: fake positive pregnancy.
Speaker 4: Test, and shockingly, it didn't go well.
Speaker 1: She was hoping to film it for TikTok to get
Speaker 1: some laughs. But Brook it did go very well. Still
Speaker 1: think he totally believed because he found it before she
Speaker 1: had the chance to brown out. He ended up telling
Speaker 1: his sister about it, and now it's been three days,
Speaker 1: she still hasn't revealed the truth to him yet that
Speaker 1: she's not really pregnant.
Speaker 4: They want to plan a family get together to announce
Speaker 4: the new baby that's coming.
Speaker 1: But the good news is they're excited about it. It'd
Speaker 1: be much worse if everybody was sad. But that's why
Speaker 1: she's come to us for help, the ultimate pranksters. Yeah,
Speaker 1: follow us at Brook and Jeffrey for more pranks just
Speaker 1: like this, but probably not nearly as funny. We need
Speaker 1: to get to some advice though, jose What do you
Speaker 1: think that Sophia should do here? Well, there's a.
Speaker 2: Chance that once you let him know the truth that
Speaker 2: you're gonna lose his trust. So yeah, I think you
Speaker 2: remind him that you're trustworthy with like a funny anecdote.
Speaker 2: Remind him, Hey, remember when I baby sat your goldfish when.
Speaker 1: We first were dating for.
Speaker 2: A week and the goldfish was fine? You could trust me?
Speaker 4: When does she tell him that it's a joke, and.
Speaker 2: Then she goes, well, you can't trust me, but in
Speaker 2: this case, boom.
Speaker 4: You can't.
Speaker 1: You are not.
Speaker 4: You're here to do You're doing Povich moment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't think of that. Yes, what do you
Speaker 1: think Sophia set him up and then sign him.
Speaker 5: No, I don't think that that's gonna work.
Speaker 1: Brooks seems to think she has some better advice for you.
Speaker 4: I'm here to save your relationship, and what you need
Speaker 4: to do is you need to make yourself look like
Speaker 4: a hero and say that your friend had a terrible
Speaker 4: idea to prank her boyfriend. You stepped in and took
Speaker 4: the pregnancy test for him so that it wouldn't go
Speaker 4: down right. Wow, and then you just panicked when he
Speaker 4: accidentally found it. That's actually really good, you see.
Speaker 7: What I said?
Speaker 1: So why did it take three days for her to
Speaker 1: come forward.
Speaker 4: With that panic? Jeffrey? It's the panic? I don't know.
Speaker 4: It's all I got, Jeffrey, Sophia.
Speaker 5: It does sound better than him, but I'm still lying.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 1: My advice, and I never ever say this during these calls,
Speaker 1: is to keep it short and stick to the truth.
Speaker 5: Oh no, Yeah, that would sound part of the best.
Speaker 5: But maybe like saying I don't know, like I was
Speaker 5: a joke.
Speaker 1: I do think that's important.
Speaker 4: O God, I say it was a praying.
Speaker 1: Yours were praying. My posts are very very on the
Speaker 1: train of lying to their significant others, so that's gonna
Speaker 1: be their.
Speaker 4: Thing sometimes us. Honestly, it's not funny. None of this
Speaker 4: is funny. If you say, oh God, okay, let's.
Speaker 1: Just hop on the truth train and let's see where
Speaker 1: it goes.
Speaker 5: Okay, please you can jump in, but here we go.
Speaker 1: Let's make your awkward call.
Speaker 7: Hello, Hey, hey, mab, how's it going. It's so weird
Speaker 7: it didn't show up as your name.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know. How's your day going.
Speaker 7: It's been good? I mean, how about yours.
Speaker 5: It's it's going. It's okay, So what are you doing?
Speaker 7: Like, well, so I just went and dropped off my car.
Speaker 7: I'm picking up another.
Speaker 1: One, you know.
Speaker 5: Okay, I do need to talk to you about something.
Speaker 5: Is this a good time?
Speaker 7: Yeah? I mean it sounds like you're a little bit sick.
Speaker 7: Is everything okay? You got a little bit worried?
Speaker 5: I's feel guilty, like I really messed up and I
Speaker 5: just have to tell you something and I don't know
Speaker 5: how like you'll react, and I don't know what you're saying.
Speaker 5: I really don't want you to be mad, and I
Speaker 5: don't know it.
Speaker 7: Just what do you mean, Ben? I mean, it's okay,
Speaker 7: Just tell me. It's can't be that big of a deal.
Speaker 5: I mean, I mean, I don't know how to say,
Speaker 5: like I'm really sorry, and like I just don't. I
Speaker 5: don't want you to be upset with me because I
Speaker 5: really love you and and it wasn't intentional and I'm
Speaker 5: so sorry and I don't want to ruin anything.
Speaker 7: I think I'm kind of what you're talking about?
Speaker 5: What what do you what do you think?
Speaker 7: I'm well, I mean, I'm sorry. I just I was
Speaker 7: I was leaving, I was in a rush, and I
Speaker 7: just touched through it in there and I didn't do
Speaker 7: a good enough job hiding it.
Speaker 5: And what do you what do you hiding? What do
Speaker 5: you think? I don't, I don't, I don't understand.
Speaker 7: I mean, I know it's probably not the way you
Speaker 7: envisioned it, but I mean that's my fault and I'm sorry.
Speaker 5: You have nothing to be sorry about. It's saw me.
Speaker 5: Maybe you can just can you just tell me a
Speaker 5: little bit more.
Speaker 7: Well, I mean you found that's found the ring? Right?
