Speaker 1: It's breaking Jeffrey in the morning, and we've got your
Speaker 1: awkward Tuesday phone call today. But first, yes, the debate
Speaker 1: that's waging across the country or just mostly in our
Speaker 1: comet section. After yesterday's second Date update, is land meat
Speaker 1: versus sea meat?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, which one are you going to touch?
Speaker 3: Dex Van Hewnan commented, I still don't know is land
Speaker 3: meat allowed to drink water. I have so many questions.
Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like lad meat would be really dirty.
Speaker 2: That was my whole thing.
Speaker 1: It's like, if it's not allowed to touch the water
Speaker 1: at all, would be gross outside.
Speaker 2: But then some people kind of get it.
Speaker 3: Hey, buddy said, maybe she tastes algae.
Speaker 4: If we could taste pineapple.
Speaker 3: Or onion, I guess I kind of get it. So yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't know if this woman's insane. He dodged a bullet, Okay,
Speaker 3: Oh maybe lap meat she could eat lab Yeah, I
Speaker 3: thought you were talking about.
Speaker 2: A pet thief. Like that just got really darker.
Speaker 1: Okay. Anyways, well, we love your comments, love your debates,
Speaker 1: keep it going and sit back and enjoy your awkward
Speaker 1: Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 6: Back in grade school, it was easy to tell if
Speaker 6: someone had a crush on you because you literally just
Speaker 6: passed them a note asking them to circle yes or no.
Speaker 4: That's actually a great point.
Speaker 6: And then, no matter what their response was, you actively
Speaker 6: had to avoid them for the rest of the entire year.
Speaker 7: Yeah, ballad, But as adults things get a little bit
Speaker 7: more complicated, especially if your crush is a friend at work.
Speaker 4: Oh Man, and one of.
Speaker 6: Our listeners says, the other night, there was a sign
Speaker 6: that maybe a romantic spark was happening with her coworker,
Speaker 6: and now she wants our help to gently nudge this
Speaker 6: friendship into more than that.
Speaker 5: How do we pass them a note though on the radio.
Speaker 6: And your career have to come with a better plan
Speaker 6: when we do your awkward to Tuesday phone call next,
Speaker 6: it's awkward.
Speaker 2: It's Tuesday.
Speaker 4: It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 6: Awkward tension between two people who work closely together. We
Speaker 6: don't know anything about that on this show.
Speaker 2: It's sitting in the middle of it every day.
Speaker 4: Brook.
Speaker 6: By the way, if you wore underwear, you would have
Speaker 6: left it on my chair in the ax booth.
Speaker 4: We were all thinking it.
Speaker 1: They'd be really big panties. I say, I like a
Speaker 1: little tummy control.
Speaker 6: As a blanket insatiable workplace LUs because one of our listeners, Maya,
Speaker 6: is looking for some romantic advice about one of her
Speaker 6: co workers. I'm hoping no undergarments are involved, but let's
Speaker 6: find out, Maya. Welcome to the show.
Speaker 8: Hi guys here, love your show.
Speaker 2: You don't wear granny candies, do you? Maya? So soon
Speaker 2: for me to ask you that.
Speaker 8: I am not a granny?
Speaker 6: Okay, tell us about the co worker that you're having
Speaker 6: this romantic tryst with.
Speaker 4: What's their name.
Speaker 2: Or a crush?
Speaker 8: Well, I don't know. His name is Derek. He and
Speaker 8: I have always had a connection at work. We've been
Speaker 8: like friends, and basically I developed all these feelings for him,
Speaker 8: and every time I see him, it's just like he
Speaker 8: lights up a room.
Speaker 2: Cute.
Speaker 6: That's exactly what Brooke was thinking about me. You don't
Speaker 6: have to keep throwing it my way, Brooke.
Speaker 1: That new feeling of just seeing the person the oh god,
Speaker 1: it's just so good.
Speaker 2: It's such a good feeling.
Speaker 8: Yeah. So here's the thing. Like about a year ago,
Speaker 8: I kind of came up with this plan where whenever
Speaker 8: he walks into a room and whenever there's a group
Speaker 8: of us, I am just going to do whatever I
Speaker 8: can to build the bond. So basically I would always
Speaker 8: do my best to like linger and stay there until
Speaker 8: it's just the two of us in the room. And
Speaker 8: my idea has kind of worked.
Speaker 6: So it just waited out he's in the break room
Speaker 6: and you like poke your head around the corner, just
Speaker 6: like check on what he's doing.
Speaker 1: No, I think she just stands next to him room
Speaker 1: until everyone.
Speaker 6: Else then handcuffs him to a chair so that he
Speaker 6: can't escape. Okay, so he said that's kind of working.
Speaker 8: I think it's been working.
Speaker 1: Why do you think it's been working. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: it's just so vague, like.
Speaker 2: How long games?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know that any guy would ever pick
Speaker 1: that up as you liking them.
Speaker 8: Oh okay, So last week we ended up finally going
Speaker 8: out with coworkers and getting drinks.
Speaker 4: Right, Okay, okay, that's a good start.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 8: So I made sure again that I was like the
Speaker 8: last one there was Derek.
Speaker 1: Okay, this is a good far.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just the two of you.
Speaker 8: Alcohol's involved, yes, but I made sure I just didn't
Speaker 8: drink too much and he ended up crashing at my place.
Speaker 2: Oh day girl.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so I do know that he wears boxers. We
Speaker 8: did not hook up, but you know, he slept in
Speaker 8: my bed with his pants off.
Speaker 1: You didn't hook up and he was in his boxers
Speaker 1: and he's in your bed.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was just like we I'm wore sweatpants, you
Speaker 8: know what I mean, Like we just.
Speaker 4: Got y attire.
Speaker 2: Did you guys cuddle?
Speaker 8: We kind of did, We kind of didn't.
Speaker 6: Like you smoked cigarettes together, a cigarette, passed one cigarette
Speaker 6: back and forth.
Speaker 5: Ever knows what happens when.
Speaker 4: Two adults.
Speaker 2: Cigarettes anymore.
Speaker 4: I'm just guessing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not like.
Speaker 4: So what happened?
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, there was this moment in the middle of
Speaker 8: the night, and it was just so sweet and so tender.
Speaker 8: He kissed me on my back in the middle of
Speaker 8: my shoulder plate o.
Speaker 4: Interesting. Is that a romantic move?
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's first kiss?
Speaker 8: Yes, definitely for me. It's like so.
Speaker 6: Intimate, right, sure, But did you guys ever during the
Speaker 6: night kiss with lips instead of just back smooches?
Speaker 2: No, well her back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she thinks it's really sweet.
Speaker 5: Body kisses can be very sensual. I mean, it's not
Speaker 5: a horrible thing. It's just weird that that's his first to.
Speaker 4: Figure out what base that is? Like, is that like
Speaker 4: half half the first base?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's a bunch.
Speaker 4: It's a bunch of it's a bunch of dugout.
Speaker 2: She's not even it doesn't matter. She liked it, liked it.
Speaker 4: Has that led to anything?
Speaker 8: That's kind of where I'm a little confused, because you know,
Speaker 8: we woke up it was really sweet, but going back
Speaker 8: to work, I was hoping like he'd asked me out
Speaker 8: and maybe end up in my bed again, right.
Speaker 2: Right, more than just back.
Speaker 8: Well, it kind of just like went back to the
Speaker 8: way it was, and I'm just not sure how to
Speaker 8: get it back to the rommantic.
Speaker 2: Have you guys not talked about it at all since
Speaker 2: that night?
Speaker 8: I didn't bring it up to him because that's kind
Speaker 8: of awkward, Like, hey, remember in the middle of the
Speaker 8: night you did this, But.
Speaker 1: He sounds like an awkward guy. I mean, that's an
Speaker 1: awkward guy move, isn't it.
Speaker 6: You're definitely in this weird in between friends and maybe
Speaker 6: more than friends space, So what do you want to
Speaker 6: do with your awkward call here?
Speaker 8: So basically, I guess I just want you to help
Speaker 8: me point the boat in the direction of romance.
Speaker 2: Romance. Okay, romance the love boat.
Speaker 4: I just came up with that.
Speaker 6: That's definitely not a fifty year old reference that we're bringing.
Speaker 6: We're going to give you some advice on how to
Speaker 6: push your work relationship.
Speaker 4: Throw your down the river of romanceday phone call, do
Speaker 4: it right after this. It's awkward. It's Tuesday. It's awkward,
Speaker 4: Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 6: If you had one shot to turn a work friend
Speaker 6: into a boyfriend after one back kiss, how would you
Speaker 6: do it?
Speaker 9: Man?
Speaker 2: This music is getting me pumped up, Jeffrey question.
Speaker 4: That's the question that we've been tasked with today.
Speaker 6: And I'm being honest when I say, you really only
Speaker 6: have one chance to do this right. Because Maya has
Speaker 6: had a crush on her co worker for a year,
Speaker 6: they ended up hanging out together at a work happy
Speaker 6: hour and where the final two left at the restaurant,
Speaker 6: he ended up crashing over at her place, And even
Speaker 6: though they spent the night in the same bed, there
Speaker 6: was no romance, no lip to lip kissing.
Speaker 2: A little tiny moment.
Speaker 6: Just right in the middle of the night he kissed
Speaker 6: her back once and then went back to sleep.
Speaker 4: Now she wants them.
Speaker 6: To be an item, and I know how we're gonna
Speaker 6: do this, you do, We're gonna have Brooke give you
Speaker 6: the best advice that you've ever heard.
Speaker 1: I am a person who has told countless boys men
Speaker 1: that I have crushes on them in my life.
Speaker 2: In my life, I'm gonna tell you, though, my success rate.
Speaker 1: Probably less than twenty five percent. But listen, you gotta
Speaker 1: do what I shouldn't have done. Do the opposite of me,
Speaker 1: because I just always come out with it. I can't
Speaker 1: hold things in, and then it's like awkward and sometimes
Speaker 1: you get to thank you, you know, like, yeah, instead
Speaker 1: of how you're feeling, let's talk about how he's feeling.
Speaker 1: Maybe you say that you've noticed he may have some
Speaker 1: feelings for you. You leave it real general, and then
Speaker 1: maybe say maybe that's something we should talk.
Speaker 8: About the wait, Like, say that I've noticed he has
Speaker 8: some feelings for me.
Speaker 4: Yes, trick him.
Speaker 1: He kissed you on the back, he's got something going on, Jose.
Speaker 4: What do you think?
Speaker 5: Well, here's what would work on me. Tell him that
Speaker 5: you had so much fun with him the other night
Speaker 5: and you want to do it.
Speaker 4: All over again, but.
Speaker 5: Only you two this time, no co workers involved.
Speaker 2: Okay, so just ask him out, ask him out on
Speaker 2: a date.
Speaker 8: Well, I guess I have a question. Yeah, once he
Speaker 8: said to say, oh I've noticed that maybe you have
Speaker 8: some feelings for me. Yeah, like what's the next step?
Speaker 10: Then?
Speaker 8: What would you say.
Speaker 5: For him to respond?
Speaker 2: I mean you could just even say, am I reading
Speaker 2: that right?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 8: Am I reading that right?
Speaker 6: Remember Brook is twenty five percent success rate, whether you
Speaker 6: go with Jose or Brook advice.
Speaker 4: We're all really invested. We're all reading for you.
Speaker 6: And then you're co worker Derek right now and hopefully
Speaker 6: convince him to fall in love with you.
Speaker 4: Let's do that.
Speaker 8: Hello, Hey, Derek, it's Maya.
Speaker 9: Hey, what's gone?
Speaker 8: Hey? So I had a lot of fun last week
Speaker 8: when we all went out with everybody from the office.
Speaker 8: What did you think? Wasn't that fun?
Speaker 9: From what I can remember, it was fantastic. I can't
Speaker 9: believe some of the things that Nick said, but yeah,
Speaker 9: it was a good time. It was a really good time. Yeah,
Speaker 9: it's just fantastic you.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I had a great time. And do you like
Speaker 8: remember in the middle of the night that anything happened?
Speaker 9: Wait, I didn't. I didn't pee on anything today.
Speaker 8: Uh no, No, it was really sweet. You know, you
Speaker 8: kissed me but I mean not on the lips you
Speaker 8: just kissed. I mean no, they are either you just
Speaker 8: kissed me? Uh you you you actually kissed me between
Speaker 8: my shoulder blades.
Speaker 9: Oh it wasn't.
Speaker 8: I mean, it's not that big a deal, right.
Speaker 9: Get so Gotti? Are you serious?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Yeah, is no. I'm yeah, I do not remember that
Speaker 9: at all. And I am Oh you guys, I probably
Speaker 9: shouldn't have even spent the night there, because yeah, I was.
Speaker 9: I was just so out of it. So I'm very sorry.
Speaker 9: Few are offended.
Speaker 8: Actually I wasn't offended at all. I kind of I
Speaker 8: kind of noticed that maybe you have some feelings for me.
Speaker 8: And I mean, am I reading it right?
Speaker 9: What do you mean? Am I reading it right? What
Speaker 9: do you What do you mean by that?
Speaker 8: Okay, I'm just going to say it. I had so
Speaker 8: much fun the other night, but I was hoping we
Speaker 8: can do it again, and this time maybe just the
Speaker 8: two of us. What do you think?
Speaker 9: Wow? Uh okay, that's not what I expected at all.
Speaker 9: I yeah, God, I thought I thought you were gonna
Speaker 9: call because you just need to like help with your spreadsheets.
Speaker 8: Like, no, actually I want you back in my real sheets.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 9: What's happening.
Speaker 4: What's up, Derek Dereck. Hey, you're on the radio with
Speaker 4: Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 6: Oh, that's something you can't say on the radio.
Speaker 4: But that's okay. We'll give you a porry.
Speaker 6: We're doing something right now called an awkward Tuesday phone call,
Speaker 6: trying to help out Maya sort out what happened between
Speaker 6: you two at her place.
Speaker 4: The other night.
Speaker 2: I think you know exactly what Maya wants.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 8: Yeah, they've been giving me some advice because I really
Speaker 8: just have had a crush on you lately and you.
Speaker 4: Couldn't tell based on the things you were saying.
Speaker 2: That's sweet.
Speaker 5: Well, the back kiss made her feel like you were
Speaker 5: trying to cross into more than a coworkership.
Speaker 6: So is there any possibility that might be true? Oh wow,
Speaker 6: not to put you on the spot or anything like that.
Speaker 2: But no, exactly to put you on the spot, No, no,
Speaker 2: just on the radio and stuff.
Speaker 9: I look, I legitimately a lot of the other night
Speaker 9: is very hazy.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you don't remember the back kiss at all?
Speaker 9: Oh God, God, but hold on, hold on. If I'm
Speaker 9: being honest, even though things were hazy the other night,
Speaker 9: I probably have feelings too.
Speaker 4: Really, I got nervous.
Speaker 6: Expecting that answer because I think I might have feelings.
Speaker 2: Let me have it.
Speaker 4: Okay, sorry, sorry continues.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Maya, I can't believe.
Speaker 8: I've ever this is like sometimes I could have.
Speaker 9: Expected, but I'm like, but honestly, I'm a little bit
Speaker 9: worried about running our friendship, Maya. And like the fact
Speaker 9: that it's at work is I don't know, it's doubly dangerous,
Speaker 9: and so it's.
Speaker 10: Like, doubly fun is what I don't again, Well, you know,

Speaker 6: good point. No one is listening.
