Speaker 2: Your new episode starts now.

Speaker 4: unless that third person is a waiter coming to your
Speaker 4: table with this special surprise.
Speaker 3: Huh A big one A wait surprise?
Speaker 4: Oh okay, and that's what one of our listeners had
Speaker 4: planned for her boyfriend, but now that waiter might need
Speaker 4: to wait wait like wait wait, not wait on the table,
Speaker 4: not wait on the table like wait confusing. Yeah, I
Speaker 4: will okay, because something weird happened the other day and
Speaker 4: now the whole surprise could be in jeopardy.
Speaker 2: Okay, we're start with that.
Speaker 4: That's why she's turned to us for help in your
Speaker 4: brand new awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 3: Just wait because it's coming up right after this. It's awkward.
Speaker 2: It's Tuesday.
Speaker 3: It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 4: If you want to do something nice for somebody special
Speaker 4: in your life, does it have to be a surprise?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 3: No, But it's nice when it is. I mean, it
Speaker 3: is fun. That's true.
Speaker 4: Like when I surprised Brooked the other day and told
Speaker 4: her she was traded to another radio station for an
Speaker 4: intern to be named.
Speaker 2: Yeah, surprise is on you, Jeff, I'm still here. Unfortunately, yes, backfired, surprise, but.
Speaker 3: That moment was priceless. I wouldn't change that for the world.
Speaker 3: I totally believe our listener.
Speaker 4: Today, Olivia says she's been planning a surprise for her boyfriend,
Speaker 4: but now thanks to recent developments, she feels like maybe
Speaker 4: she should just tell him and blow the whole thing.
Speaker 1: Oh well, sometimes that happens, you know, like if they
Speaker 1: want to play something else and it's a day that
Speaker 1: you have this price anyway depends.
Speaker 4: Let's get more details before we start speculating. Olivia, Welcome
Speaker 4: to the show.
Speaker 6: Hi, thanks so much for having me.
Speaker 1: It sounds like you're a really thoughtful girlfriend, someone who
Speaker 1: plans something for their boyfriend.
Speaker 2: Nice job.
Speaker 4: Maybe surprise breakup that'd be kind of cool, very thoughtful. Yes,
Speaker 4: good girlfriend, you are surprise you're single?
Speaker 2: Breakups are a surprise.
Speaker 3: Sorry, So what's going on with you and your boyfriend?
Speaker 6: So we've been living together for five months now, and
Speaker 6: it's all most his thirtieth birthday, which I'm so excited about.
Speaker 2: Is he a birthday guy? What's his name?
Speaker 6: By the way, Oh, I'm sorry Jonah. Yeah, And yes,
Speaker 6: I think he's excited for the most part. You know,
Speaker 6: I feel like since it's a milestone, it's kind of
Speaker 6: got that like I'm excited but also can't believe that
Speaker 6: I'm turning thirty.
Speaker 3: You know, he's definitely not excited.
Speaker 4: Yeah, who's excited to turn thirty when you're in your
Speaker 4: twenty Let nobody.
Speaker 1: I wish I could argue with Jeffrey, but thirty is
Speaker 1: the only one I cried at.
Speaker 2: It was just like such a moment.
Speaker 3: But you feel like maybe he's looking forward to it.
Speaker 6: I think so, I mean I am so. I think
Speaker 6: I'm going to be able to make him excited about
Speaker 6: it if he's not.
Speaker 2: Okay, So what do you have planned?
Speaker 6: Well, so, Jonah and I have never really traveled anywhere
Speaker 6: significant together. We've done like a day trip here and there,
Speaker 6: but no, we're big.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 6: So a friend of mine who works in travel, she's
Speaker 6: helped me plan a big thirtieth get away to Mexico
Speaker 6: for him.
Speaker 1: Whoa taking to Mexico is a surprise?
Speaker 2: Are you going to pull that off? I'm so excited
Speaker 2: for both of you.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I'm thrilled too. By the way, Sorry, I'm not like
Speaker 3: jumping in all over it, but yeah, wow, Mexico. Sorry
Speaker 3: I grew up and we went to other places. Sorry,
Speaker 3: but Mexico is cool. Yeah, I know Southwest does like
Speaker 3: a budget trip, and it's really you're just such a
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. It's great, it's wonderful.
Speaker 4: This is the best gift anyone has ever given anyone
Speaker 4: ever ignored Jev.
Speaker 2: How soon is this surprise trip supposed to happen.
Speaker 6: It's going to be coming up, like right after his birthday.
Speaker 6: So my plan was to take him out to dinner
Speaker 6: and then after dessert, I'm going to have the waiter
Speaker 6: drop off the envelope on the table that has the
Speaker 6: itinerary on it, and then we would leave the next day.
Speaker 4: Wow, so it's like the waiter's idea to.
Speaker 3: Give him all the credit.
Speaker 2: Wait, is the waiter coming with us?
Speaker 3: That's kind of cool. You got to take it to
Speaker 3: Mexican food too.
Speaker 2: Like put Oh, that's a good play.
Speaker 3: You definitely planned this whole thing out though.
Speaker 2: That's so what's happening that's derailing the plan?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: What's wrong?
Speaker 6: Well? Okay, So I was going over the itinerary at
Speaker 6: home and just kind of making sure everything was buttoned
Speaker 6: up ready to go, and I got this phone call
Speaker 6: from work which I had to step out to deal with.
Speaker 6: And while that was happening, Jonah came home and when
Speaker 6: I got back to my computer, it was just.
Speaker 2: Off, Oh, no, do you think he saw it?
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's no way he didn't see it.
Speaker 1: And your computer doesn't have like an automatic shut off
Speaker 1: thing like a sleep mode.
Speaker 6: No, I mean I suppose like maybe he just reached
Speaker 6: down and turned it off since I wasn't there, but
Speaker 6: the document was up on the.
Speaker 1: Screencae, maybe you had to shut the screen off to
Speaker 1: is this reading it? If someone leaves their phone out
Speaker 1: next to you, I'm like, close it so I don't want.
Speaker 2: To read it, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I mean, but it's a good move on
Speaker 1: his part not to bring it up, not to ruin
Speaker 1: the supply.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's also true, like kind of protecting your feelings. Well,
Speaker 3: I don't know how was he acting after that.
Speaker 6: Well I didn't bring it up either, but I thought
Speaker 6: he was acting a little weird. Like the next day
Speaker 6: he just sort of comments like, Hey, I hope you're
Speaker 6: not planning on doing anything too big for my birthday.
Speaker 6: You're super excited to go to dinner, but let's just
Speaker 6: keep it low key and that'll be really fun.
Speaker 1: I think he didn't read the whole thing then, because
Speaker 1: if you saw you book stuff, why would you say
Speaker 1: that because.
Speaker 2: They don't want to go.
Speaker 3: To cancel.
Speaker 4: That's like the polite way of being like, I don't
Speaker 4: know any plans, but if there are plans, let's not
Speaker 4: do them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it, but that's so rude. If you
Speaker 2: saw how detailed the itinerarian.
Speaker 1: Like that's maybe he's just really bad with secrets and
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, I know, I'll tell her that I
Speaker 1: don't want her to do anything and then she won't
Speaker 1: think that I saw it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 4: I mean there's a lot of speculation. What are you
Speaker 4: feeling right now, Olivia?
Speaker 6: I mean, I put a ton of work into this.
Speaker 6: I thought Mexico would be great. We've talked about Mexico before.
Speaker 3: But like, if he.
Speaker 6: Can't even just be excited or appreciate that I put
Speaker 6: in that kind of work, I'm going to be pretty upset.
Speaker 2: So damn, what do you want to do right now?
Speaker 3: What advice are you looking to get from us for
Speaker 3: this phone?
Speaker 6: Okay? I need a clever way to figure out if
Speaker 6: he has seen the site itinerary or not.
Speaker 3: I have to know.
Speaker 6: And if he did see it and doesn't like it,
Speaker 6: how do I react to that? Because to me, that
Speaker 6: just doesn't even bode well for our relationship.
Speaker 1: I know a lad for me too, because if you
Speaker 1: like to travel and he doesn't, that's I don't know
Speaker 1: my parents have been married for like forty plus years,
Speaker 1: and one loves to travel and one is really not,
Speaker 1: so maybe sometimes it works out.
Speaker 7: I guess.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my parents are kind of the same. Yes, we're
Speaker 3: all over. The spectrum is either great or not great,
Speaker 3: or somewhere in the middle. What if he's worried about money,
Speaker 3: like he thinks, oh god, I have a whole big
Speaker 3: bill now, or something like Mexican.
Speaker 2: Trip the rest of your thirties. Distress about money.
Speaker 3: Dump him because he's poor.
Speaker 4: We support you when we come back and do your
Speaker 4: awkward Tuesday phone call right after this.
Speaker 3: It's awkward.
Speaker 2: It's Tuesday.
Speaker 3: It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 4: Is there anything worse than when a person knows a
Speaker 4: big surprise is coming so they.
Speaker 3: Fake it just to appease you.
Speaker 2: Oh, they fake the surprise.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what happened yesterday when Brooke announced she was
Speaker 4: pregnant for the third time.
Speaker 2: I'm not pregnant.
Speaker 4: We all knew what was coming, and we just had
Speaker 4: to fake pretend that we were shocked, I know, pregnant.
Speaker 4: Jose even burst into tears just to make Brook feel
Speaker 4: better about it.
Speaker 6: For different reasons.
Speaker 1: I went to doctor Snip and stayed in the room
Speaker 1: when it happened for my husband.
Speaker 4: Okay, I know, so doctor Snip is apparently the father.
Speaker 4: Just a really sad moment all around.
Speaker 3: That's what our.
Speaker 4: Listener, Olivia is trying to avoid because her living boyfriend
Speaker 4: has his thirtieth birthday coming up and she wanted to
Speaker 4: surprise him with a special trip to Mexico.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's so cool.
Speaker 4: The problem is he might kind of already know because
Speaker 4: of a little computer mishap, and even worse, if he
Speaker 4: does know, he doesn't seem all that thrilled about it.
Speaker 1: In fact, he's basically telling her all I want to
Speaker 1: do is dinner, cancel everything else.
Speaker 4: Yes, So she wants to find out for sure does
Speaker 4: he know, does he not know?
Speaker 3: Does he even care? Brook? What's your advice for her?
Speaker 2: Okay, we're gonna double down on the lie.
Speaker 1: Oh, things are gonna get a little messy here. But
Speaker 1: I think what you have to do is you have
Speaker 1: to say, Okay, I'm gonna let you in on a
Speaker 1: little secret. I'm helping my friend plan a trip for
Speaker 1: her boyfriend and it's a surprise.
Speaker 2: But she thinks he doesn't want to go. What should
Speaker 2: she do this?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, and then just let him answer it, and
Speaker 1: he'll tell you exactly what you need to know, all.
Speaker 4: Right, basically stealing the plot from Lindsay Lohan's parent trip
Speaker 4: a little double trouble action.
Speaker 3: What do you think, Olivia?
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 6: I'm worried it'll be a little suspicious just because his
Speaker 6: birthday is so soon, But I don't know. You know
Speaker 6: how guys are sometimes they're not really paying attention to everything,
Speaker 6: So maybe it'll work.
Speaker 4: Speaking of not paying attention, Jose, what's your advice?
Speaker 3: What advice for Olivia?
Speaker 4: My advice would be bring up that there could be
Speaker 4: a surprise at dinner.
Speaker 2: Oh, just tell him, then e.
Speaker 3: Gauge his reaction to that news.
Speaker 4: Okay, Oh, I see, don't be specific about the surprise,
Speaker 4: but you'll be able to tell if he already knows
Speaker 4: based on his reaction.
Speaker 3: Okay, what do you think about that, Olivia?
Speaker 4: Just toss up the idea of a surprise could be
Speaker 4: coming at dinner and see how he reacts to it.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that seems like a good idea because
Speaker 6: he's not generally a great liar as far as I know,
Speaker 6: so I feel like if he does know I'm going
Speaker 6: to be able to tell I mean, I hate surprises.
Speaker 1: Then you'll know, yeah, dumb them, not dumbham. But change
Speaker 1: the ticket to your best friend's names.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not good.
Speaker 4: Okay, we have given you two pieces of great advice.
Speaker 4: You could choose to use as much or as little
Speaker 4: of it as you want to. But I'm going to
Speaker 4: dial your boyfriend right now and we'll find out what
Speaker 4: he knows.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 3: Okay, right, good luck down you right now?
Speaker 7: Hello, Hey, how's it go in? Hey? Oh? Sorry, I
Speaker 7: don't know your number didn't show it normostly weird k
Speaker 7: like bloock call or something.
Speaker 3: Oh that's weird.
Speaker 6: I don't know why I would do that. Sorry, we
Speaker 6: I'm glad you answered. Do you think you're gonna be
Speaker 6: able to swing by the store to pick up the
Speaker 6: chicken for dinner?
Speaker 7: Yeah? Yeah, I can do that. Well yeah this yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 7: that would be great.
Speaker 6: Okay, I don't know, I know that's not like the
Speaker 6: most exciting, but I'm so work has been crazy. So yeah,
Speaker 6: that's all I have time for tonight.
Speaker 7: You okay, you sound a little nervous or maybe distracted
Speaker 7: or something. You want to call me back later?
Speaker 6: No, no, no, no, no, no, I'm good. Honestly, I'm a
Speaker 6: little like excited but anxious for your birthday coming up.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, okay, well I think dinner.
Speaker 6: I think that dinner is going to be amazing.
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, it should be amazing. I mean, as long
Speaker 7: as I'm not cooking it.
Speaker 6: Obviously, I'm not going to make you cook your birthday dinner.
Speaker 6: But I think maybe there would be another little surprise
Speaker 6: at dinner too.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, you don't. You don't have to do anything big.
Speaker 7: You know, it's not that big a deal.
Speaker 6: But I want to do something special for you. I
Speaker 6: think it'll be I mean, if you're trying thirty, like
Speaker 6: this only happens once, and I just think a little
Speaker 6: extra surprise is in order for your birthday.
Speaker 7: Okay, don't tell me too much. I mean, it's this
Speaker 7: kind of defeats the purpose of it being a surprise, right.
Speaker 6: Well, I can't tell you what it is, but no,
Speaker 6: don't tell.
Speaker 7: Me that it is. You got to keep a secret, Okay.
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't really feel like you seem that
Speaker 6: excited about dinner or the surprise at this point. So
Speaker 6: is that because you already know what it is?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 7: No? I mean I don't know. Maybe do I?
Speaker 6: Okay, so you saw my computer in the itinerary. I
Speaker 6: knew this. I knew this is what happened. So you
Speaker 6: already know that the day after dinner, I'm taking you
Speaker 6: to Mexico.
Speaker 7: Oh no, I did not know about that.
Speaker 6: Just said you knew?
Speaker 7: You knew? I said, maybe, I like, maybe maybe I
Speaker 7: didn't see your computer.
Speaker 6: Well, surprise, we're going to Mexico after your birthday.
Speaker 7: Well no, we're not.
Speaker 6: What do you mean we're not. I've literally booked the tickets,
Speaker 6: I've planned everything. It's like we're ready to go.
Speaker 7: No I can't go. I'm on the no fly list. Wait,
Speaker 7: hang on here? Who is who's on the phone?
Speaker 3: Hey?
Speaker 7: What did you going on? Hey?
Speaker 3: Joanah. This is a radio show called Brook and Jeffrey
Speaker 3: in the Morning. Olivia is a listener.
Speaker 2: We're not telling from the TSA. Do not worry.
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh no, no, no, no, no, it's okay. This
Speaker 4: is a segment we do. It's called the Awkward Tuesday
Speaker 4: phone Call. And Olivia reached out because she had this
Speaker 4: big surprise coming and she wasn't sure if you knew
Speaker 4: about it or not.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm sorry. Nobody cares about that right now? You're
Speaker 6: on the no twilist? Joe?
Speaker 2: How did you not know this?
Speaker 7: I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I just didn't think
Speaker 7: it was important.
Speaker 2: Why are you so chill right now?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Are we talking to a terrorist right now? How are
Speaker 3: you on the no fly list?
Speaker 7: I didn't know it was gonna be on the radio.
Speaker 7: I don't know if I really want to tell everybody?
Speaker 3: Is it embarrassing? I want to know more.
Speaker 2: I'm curious how you get on one?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought it's pretty embarrassing.
Speaker 6: You need to explain this right now, Like, how in
Speaker 6: the world does one.
Speaker 5: Get on the no flyless?
Speaker 7: This is insane.
Speaker 4: I'm not to put you on the spot, Jonah, but
Speaker 4: I feel like this information needs to be out there,
Speaker 4: at least for your girlfriend's sake, well and.
Speaker 2: For everybody else and they can avoid doing what you
Speaker 2: apparently did.
Speaker 3: Yeah, how do you how did you get on the list?
Speaker 5: Well, I mean we had all been drinking, right, and
Speaker 5: who's we My buddies and I, Frankie and Joe and
Speaker 5: oh yeah, a bachelor trip.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 2: How long ago was this bachelor trip?
Speaker 7: Maybe a year ago?
Speaker 4: So what happened on this bachelor trip that landed you
Speaker 4: on a national no fly list.
Speaker 7: You know, just the normal stuff. We've been drinking and
Speaker 7: things got weird on the planet before you know, we're
Speaker 7: doing stuff.
Speaker 4: On the beverage cart, stuff on a beverage card, or
Speaker 4: did in the beverage cart.
Speaker 7: On top and around it. I don't want to talk
Speaker 7: about it. I definitely regret it.
Speaker 2: Fly for.
Speaker 7: No. They just gave me time out for like a
Speaker 7: couple of years or something. I don't know.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, you're so casual about it, dude.
Speaker 7: Well, I mean it was really toss man.
Speaker 6: Okay, you can't fly for another year?
Speaker 7: Oh well, give or take. I think it's like two
Speaker 7: or three years.
Speaker 4: Yes, So, Olivia, this is obviously a lot of information
Speaker 4: coming your way.
Speaker 3: How are you feeling? Where's your head at?
Speaker 6: I don't even know what to think right now, Like,
Speaker 6: I put a ton of time into this, and it
Speaker 6: was supposed to be our first big trip together and
Speaker 6: celebrating a huge milestone for your birthday. So I'm not even.
Speaker 7: Like sure how to practice this yet. I mean, we
Speaker 7: could drive somewhere, we could go, we go to Canada.
Speaker 2: Why do I have a feeling that there's something on
Speaker 2: your record?
Speaker 1: That will not let you into Canada.
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, baby. You know, listen, this happened over a
Speaker 7: year ago, and that we were just barely talking. You know,
Speaker 7: I'm a different.
Speaker 2: Guy now, he's immature, thirty year old.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm gonna I think I'm gonna choose to believe
Speaker 6: that that's true for now, because I, other than this,
Speaker 6: had no reason to think otherwise. So we'll figure something out.
Speaker 1: How refundable are any of these tickets that you bought.
Speaker 6: Or Yeah, I'm gonna have to find a friend to
Speaker 6: go with.
Speaker 7: I guess Oh, baby, you can't go without me. I
Speaker 7: mean it's my birthday.
Speaker 4: Oh if you're making demands for everything.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm not missing out just because of whatever you did.
Speaker 1: Sounds like the new surprise is your girlfriend's going to
Speaker 1: be out of town for a couple of days.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so call Frankie and all the guys and let's
Speaker 4: get together for just a bullets trip.
Speaker 1: That is not a good idea, reok and Jeffrey in
Speaker 1: the morning.
Speaker 4: I will say that dude has a very very understanding girlfriend.
Speaker 1: Oh I don't know that she's fully processed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, telling her I mean still understanding.
Speaker 1: I mean it honestly means they don't get to fly
Speaker 1: anywhere for the next two to three years of their relationship.
Speaker 3: Anywhere, not even like a local.
Speaker 4: If you found out your significant other was on the
Speaker 4: no fly list and it's been hiding that from you
Speaker 4: for a year, that might make me question a lot
Speaker 4: about the relationship.
Speaker 2: Do you think he was hiding though? He just seemed
Speaker 2: like a dude who forgot to bring it up.
Speaker 3: I swear we've talked about this before.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, it just didn't come up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I totally forgot a warrant, by the way,
Speaker 4: But she was just like, oh, that's a bummer, and
Speaker 4: quickly pivoted to going on the trip with her girlfriends.
Speaker 2: So that was a smart choice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she should do that right now, just to cope.
Speaker 3: Go to Mexico with your girls, knock it out, relaxed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you talk it out with your girls, you're
Speaker 2: gonna end up single.
Speaker 4: But it sounds like they're just gonna celebrate his thirtieth separately,
Speaker 4: and it doesn't seem like this will be a giant
Speaker 4: bump in the room of their relationship whatsoever.
Speaker 2: I love when you're not a sarcastings.
Speaker 7: Oh I'm just.
Speaker 4: Going blind optimism here, and that's what I recommend to
Speaker 4: everybody who emails the show seeking our advice, and also
Speaker 4: to anybody who's listening to the podcast right now, stay optimistic.
Speaker 3: Hit that subscribe b
