Speaker 1: All right, we pulled you last week. Hey, welcome to
Speaker 1: the Second Date podcast. By the way, it is Brooke
Speaker 1: and Jeffrey in the morning. The Second Date Update. We
Speaker 1: sat in a poll that we moved Awkward Tuesday from
Speaker 1: Sunday to Tuesday. Did you think it was brilliant or
Speaker 1: a terrible choice? Believe it or not? Seventy one percent
Speaker 1: of people said brilliant.
Speaker 2: Hey, they can keep track of the day of the week.
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, it makes a lot more sense.
Speaker 3: It's happening right now.
Speaker 1: Welcome to your Awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 4: If a friend calls you at eleven o'clock at night
Speaker 4: and demands to come over because they have to tell
Speaker 4: you something in person and it can't wait.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, it's probably good news. Right.
Speaker 1: Oh, maybe they just finished watching Love Island.
Speaker 4: Yeah, or maybe they found an extra McNugget in their
Speaker 4: McDonald's bag. Oh go, just say fifteen percent by switching
Speaker 4: insurance providers.
Speaker 3: Yeah no, no, not an eleven pm CA Okay.
Speaker 4: Well, unfortunately for our listener, his buddy called him to
Speaker 4: drop a huge, huge bomb about his girlfriend.
Speaker 3: Oh, and now.
Speaker 4: He needs our help getting the truth from her about
Speaker 4: what really happened.
Speaker 1: Oh, it wasn't a chicken nugget.
Speaker 3: Maybe that's a good thing that happened.
Speaker 4: We're gonna find out when we do your brand new
Speaker 4: awkward Tuesday phone call right after this.
Speaker 3: It's awkward, It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 4: Is there any circumstance where you're out somewhere and you
Speaker 4: see a friend's significant other doing something that they shouldn't
Speaker 4: be doing and you decide to keep your mouth shut? Oh,
Speaker 4: because I mean, you can rationalize it in your head, like,
Speaker 4: you know what, it's not really any of my business.
Speaker 4: I don't want to jump to conclusions and stir up
Speaker 4: drama if that's not really what's going on my iesight? Really,
Speaker 4: isn't that good anyway? That could have just been a
Speaker 4: mannequin and I'm.
Speaker 1: Totally seeing It's just like you got to eat an
Speaker 1: ice cream on a non cheat day.
Speaker 4: Yeah, is there any chance you do that? Or do
Speaker 4: you go tell your friend and immediately what you saw?
Speaker 1: It depends depends on the relationship with some.
Speaker 2: Grocery shopping with somebody. I don't know, are they literally
Speaker 2: making out?
Speaker 3: Mind? You guys see something?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 3: Why why aren't you telling you?
Speaker 1: I don't think I would tell you.
Speaker 3: Now, this is how they kissed.
Speaker 4: See, this is exactly what happened to our listener, Jacob,
Speaker 4: who is left dealing with a very bizarre situation now
Speaker 4: and he does not.
Speaker 3: Know how to proceed. Jacob, Hey, man, are you holding up? Okay?
Speaker 5: Honestly, you guys, not really?
Speaker 1: Oh no, oh my god, I'm dying. Who went where
Speaker 1: all of it?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 5: So I've been seeing this woman, her name is Shannon
Speaker 5: for about a half a year now. We didn't live
Speaker 5: together or anything, but I'd say it's been going pretty
Speaker 5: good for the most part.
Speaker 1: I thought this was going to be about someone you
Speaker 1: saw that we had to call the friend this is
Speaker 1: about you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, this one's about me.
Speaker 5: Shannon and I will have nights where we hang out,
Speaker 5: we do stuff together, but then other nights were apart
Speaker 5: to things where we hang out with her friends. And
Speaker 5: I mean it's healthy.
Speaker 3: You know, I disagree you should be spending twenty four seconds.
Speaker 3: You know, that's just my clinging answer.
Speaker 5: I mean, like I said, we're not living together. Schedules
Speaker 5: are not framed around one another.
Speaker 3: Right, you have your own lives.
Speaker 1: That's yeah.
Speaker 5: Total one night she was out with her friends. Whatever,
Speaker 5: I got a weird call around like eleven from a
Speaker 5: friend of mine, my friend Omar, and Omar was like, hey,
Speaker 5: are you home because I gotta come over and tell
Speaker 5: you something. And he was like like really kind of
Speaker 5: on edge about it.
Speaker 3: Is exactly what I was going to say.
Speaker 2: But a friend says I need to tell you something
Speaker 2: to your face, I'll be like, friendship's over, dude, Sorry,
Speaker 2: I don't like anything.
Speaker 4: That must be pretty serious. If he's like demanding to
Speaker 4: go see you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I knew it was important, so I was like,
Speaker 5: all right, come over whatever. He stops by. He tells
Speaker 5: me that he saw Shannon out at this place called
Speaker 5: Crystal Lounge.
Speaker 1: Sounds like a shady place.
Speaker 5: She was with a guy, and she was wearing an
Speaker 5: engagement ring finger.
Speaker 1: Are you sure that this guy's good at left and right?
Speaker 1: I have made that mistake before friends.
Speaker 2: I don't even know what that finger is.
Speaker 5: Yes, okay, And that's the thing I was trying to
Speaker 5: defend Shannon. I was like, nah, you know you're wrong,
Speaker 5: But he was pretty adamant. And that's why you had
Speaker 5: to tell me face to face. He saw what he saw?
Speaker 4: Well, did he did he mention anything like specific like
Speaker 4: if they were kissing or holding hands or.
Speaker 1: Doing wearing an engagement ring.
Speaker 3: Josh, you've never put a ring on there.
Speaker 4: Well, maybe it was just like her friend's engagement ring
Speaker 4: that she was trying on for fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah, girls clothes always at the bar, just friend.
Speaker 2: It reminds you, bruk, I'll take your wedding ring off
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 3: Thanks. Yeah, So, like did he mention anything specific like that?
Speaker 5: So Walmart said they were like physically close to each other,
Speaker 5: but he didn't see any overly romantic gestures happen. So
Speaker 5: I'm like, all right, it's probably just a friend and
Speaker 5: she's wearing some kind of fake engagement ring.
Speaker 1: I mean, I will say, I will say I have
Speaker 1: some really hot friends that will wear fake engagement rings
Speaker 1: so they don't get hit on.
Speaker 5: And I totally get that. And don't get me wrong,
Speaker 5: you guys, Like I feel like I'm dating up. She
Speaker 5: is very attractive. So I see her the next day
Speaker 5: and I bring it up, thinking it's going to be,
Speaker 5: you know, like thirty second conversation. She's gonna laugh, she's
Speaker 5: gonna you know, but she was like, I don't want
Speaker 5: to talk about that.
Speaker 2: Feeling of guilt.
Speaker 5: I try to bring it up a few more times,
Speaker 5: and then Shannon got upset and she stormed out.
Speaker 1: She got you yeah, because you know, Lie, it's upset.
Speaker 1: That's how it works. It's like anybody who's accused of
Speaker 1: cheating will be like, no, you were cheating.
Speaker 3: Oh you're on me.
Speaker 5: But that's the thing I thought. I wanted to give
Speaker 5: her like the medicine of the doubt, and I wasn't
Speaker 5: trying to be aggressive about it or like like accusing
Speaker 5: her right and now she's not answering my calls. This
Speaker 5: was just the other night, just this week, and so
Speaker 5: I need advice. I need advice on how to handle it.
Speaker 1: Ask you, are you still hoping that she's not cheating,
Speaker 1: Like there's still.
Speaker 3: A possible that she is cheating?
Speaker 1: In my mind, there's no possibility that she's not cheating.
Speaker 4: Okay, well, I think you're saying. Everybody in this room
Speaker 4: is kind of in agreement. It looks really bad for
Speaker 4: her right now, and it's very very likely that something
Speaker 4: is happening behind your back.
Speaker 2: I feel like we have not just go out of
Speaker 2: the fact she could be a jewelry heist, persons of
Speaker 2: jewelry and she's scared because we just caught her.
Speaker 3: That is a pretty frequent thing that we get on
Speaker 3: the show.
Speaker 1: I mean, like you want to what you want to
Speaker 1: get the truth out of her?
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I really am still holding out hope for
Speaker 5: it to just be something that she's like embarrassed about,
Speaker 5: doesn't know how to bring it up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's embarrassed that I was with my fiance.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's a highly likely possibility.
Speaker 3: When we call her here, Yeah.
Speaker 1: They probably haven't gotten married yet. Yeah, ngage, Now you
Speaker 1: didn't see a wedding band.
Speaker 3: It's totally different now, Jake. I'm sorry that you're going
Speaker 3: through this, but we're going to try and.
Speaker 4: Give you a little bit of advice here before we
Speaker 4: call your girlfriend Shannon and let you ask her the question,
Speaker 4: what was going on when my friends saw you out
Speaker 4: the other night at a lounge wearing an engagement ring
Speaker 4: with another guy?
Speaker 1: No matter what happens, like, you're the winner out of this,
Speaker 1: she's the sucky one.
Speaker 4: Okay, you don't have to hit on him now, he's
Speaker 4: still with somebody.
Speaker 3: We'll get to that in a second. Your awkward Tuesday
Speaker 3: phone calls coming up right after this. It's awkward. It's Tuesday.
Speaker 3: It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 4: If you're just joining us for the awkward Tuesday phone call,
Speaker 4: this is what we know. Our listener, Jacob has a
Speaker 4: girlfriend of about half a year. She was spotted out
Speaker 4: recently at a lounge with a different guy wearing an
Speaker 4: engagement bright like I need.
Speaker 1: To be taking notes Jeff so right, Yep, that's weird,
Speaker 1: not good.
Speaker 4: When Jacob brought it up to her in a fun way,
Speaker 4: he expected her to laugh and explain, Oh.
Speaker 3: It's just a stupid situation. I had to wear it. It
Speaker 3: was a big joke.
Speaker 4: But no, she got upset and left and has not
Speaker 4: spoken to him since. That's why he needs our advice
Speaker 4: today on what to say to get his girlfriend to
Speaker 4: just tell him the truth of what is really going on. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's the least that he deserves. Right, what's your advice.
Speaker 1: To Jacob man, Jacob, it's not looking good.
Speaker 3: It's not really advice.
Speaker 1: I've just like you because if all of those things
Speaker 1: are what happened for real, then it's one hundred percent
Speaker 1: she's cheating, Like there's no way around it, right.
Speaker 5: Like, should I get advice on how to handle it?
Speaker 3: Yes? Yes, this has been pretty hopeless so far, you
Speaker 3: just told him the situation.
Speaker 1: You were going to take control of this situation, okay, right,
Speaker 1: and you were going to tell her. You need to
Speaker 1: tell me the truth.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 3: You need to rip it off like a band aid.
Speaker 3: Rip it off like a.
Speaker 1: Band aid, because if she waits any longer, it's only
Speaker 1: gonna get worse. Like you deserve the truth. And if
Speaker 1: she has ever respected you ever in the time that
Speaker 1: she's known you, now is the time to show that.
Speaker 5: There it is all yeah, yeah, thank you.
Speaker 3: There was actually a little bit of advice in there.
Speaker 3: Good job edit out the whole.
Speaker 2: Front of that party.
Speaker 1: Every week I give great advice, jose What about you?
Speaker 3: What do you think?
Speaker 5: Jake?
Speaker 3: Remember you need to make her feel comfortable.
Speaker 2: Remind her Honey. I want you to know first, I
Speaker 2: love you, okay, And whatever you say in this conversation,
Speaker 2: I promise not to judge what. We listen and we
Speaker 2: don't judge.
Speaker 3: That's a TikTok tra TikTok. You know what you.
Speaker 2: Give, you judge it, then maybe she will be comfortable
Speaker 2: to I think actually all of us could take that
Speaker 2: advice in this room.
Speaker 3: We should listen and not judge her yet, because there
Speaker 3: could be.
Speaker 4: A logical explanation for this. We're all gonna look really stupid.
Speaker 4: If we're being as capeful as Brook is towards her,
Speaker 4: she would have.
Speaker 3: Just said the logical thing.
Speaker 1: If it was logical, Jeff, she wouldn't have like run
Speaker 1: out of the room.
Speaker 6: You know what, I want to look stupid, So listen
Speaker 6: and then.
Speaker 3: Then we can.
Speaker 5: Don't get me wrong, you guys. If this doesn't go
Speaker 5: my way, I am fully welcome to judge.
Speaker 3: Yes, all exactly, that's actually what we do best on
Speaker 3: the show. But let's call her. We'll see if Shannon
Speaker 3: picks up, and then we'll step away and let you make.
Speaker 4: Your awkward call and we'll be here if you feel
Speaker 4: like you need a little bit of help, okay, with
Speaker 4: good luck.
Speaker 6: Hello, Hey, it's me. I said, I don't feel like
Speaker 6: talking right now.
Speaker 5: No, we need to talk right now. What do you mean,
Speaker 5: not feel like talking right now? That's not fair, because.
Speaker 6: You just seem really upset about something that honestly I
Speaker 6: do not feel like talking about.
Speaker 5: Well I don't. How do you think I should feel
Speaker 5: about it?
Speaker 6: Like?
Speaker 5: What? I want to get this I want to get
Speaker 5: this over with. I want to hash this out.
Speaker 6: Okay, then just you know what, just move on. What
Speaker 6: we have to hash out, we don't have to hash
Speaker 6: out anymore. Okay? Sorry?
Speaker 5: Am I not supposed to be upset when my buddy
Speaker 5: comes to me saying that you have an engagement ring
Speaker 5: on and you're hanging with some other guy?
Speaker 2: Like, what is that?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 6: What is that?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 5: I'm sorry?
Speaker 6: What do you want?
Speaker 3: Your theories?
Speaker 5: All right? I deserve an explanation here, Like, it's my understanding.
Speaker 5: We've been together for six months now, like we're boyfriend
Speaker 5: and girlfriend, and my understanding we're not seeing other people?
Speaker 5: So am I wrong here?
Speaker 6: Jacob? I don't want to hurt you.
Speaker 5: It's see, it's a little late for that. You just
Speaker 5: need to tell me whatever the truth is. Okay, I
Speaker 5: can handle it.
Speaker 6: It's hard to explain.
Speaker 5: Well can you try? Can you try for me here, please? Shannon?
Speaker 6: Well, you know my friend Sierra, right? Yeah? I know Sierral. Okay,
Speaker 6: So a couple of months ago she set up this
Speaker 6: like hangout with some old friends. She was saying, we
Speaker 6: hadn't seen them in a while. Could I just come
Speaker 6: and catch up?
Speaker 5: What does this have to do with us?
Speaker 6: I'm getting there. This is not this is an easy Okay.
Speaker 6: So one of the guys who was there to hang like, well,
Speaker 6: he was my ex.
Speaker 5: Oh what what does that even mean?
Speaker 6: So be hooked up and I didn't know what to
Speaker 6: say to you because you're so sweet to me. God, God,
Speaker 6: and I started dating him again, and I know it's
Speaker 6: messed up. I know, but in my head, I was like,
Speaker 6: I've always just wanted to have a forever relationship, be married,
Speaker 6: and so I had it in my head that that
Speaker 6: I was just going to say yes to whoever proposed first.
Speaker 6: And he proposed a few nights ago.
Speaker 5: So so wait, sorry, you're actually you're really engaged. I
Speaker 5: thought I really thought there'd be some other reason to it.
Speaker 6: No, no, I am, I'm engaged to someone else. I'm
Speaker 6: really sorry. I'm sorry. Oh my god, what is that?
Speaker 6: What's going on?
Speaker 3: Man? Okay, oh my god, Shannon.
Speaker 1: Everything, Shannon, we've.
Speaker 3: Been listening to this culture.
Speaker 4: He says, you're on the radio right now with a
Speaker 4: show called Brook and Jeffrey. In the morning, we're doing
Speaker 4: something called awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 3: Oh what look?
Speaker 5: Okay, Yeah, you weren't answering my calls, and I didn't
Speaker 5: know how to address this with you. I've been trying,
Speaker 5: and so I called the radio station to help me
Speaker 5: get a hold of you.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and no, God, I believe you did this on
Speaker 6: the radio.
Speaker 3: Maybe you shouldn't have been cheating.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we do a lot of these phone calls, I'll
Speaker 4: tell you, Shannon, And we don't normally get a lot
Speaker 4: that and like this. Usually it's somebody playing a joke,
Speaker 4: there's some hilarious misunderstanding. Turns out, Shannon, you're just a
Speaker 4: two timing cheater.
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm sorry. She said that she can't believe this. No,
Speaker 5: I'm sorry. I can't believe that you're actually engaged. And
Speaker 5: you hit all of this from me, like, hello, are
Speaker 5: you dating?
Speaker 1: For your engage to this guy?
Speaker 6: Who are you? Why do I have to answer questions
Speaker 6: to you? I don't even know who I'm talking to
Speaker 6: at this point. You think I'm just going to answer
Speaker 6: some questions for some people I've never talked to you before.
Speaker 3: Well, it's pretty valid to the situation. Jacob's friend and
Speaker 3: we're defending jobs.
Speaker 6: Jacome friend he called the radio station. Now he's your friend.
Speaker 3: Yes, he is really cling. You don't know us.

Speaker 4: Of this, you think Jacob would still want to be
Speaker 4: around you?
Speaker 3: Yeah, so your friend?
Speaker 6: Couldn't we stay friends? Like? I even asked my fiance
Speaker 6: to have our wedding like a year so you could
Speaker 6: have some time to heal because you are a good friend.
