Speaker 1: an overbearing mother. Oh my god, there is no mother

Speaker 1: let's see some comments here. What do you gotta lot? Yeah,

Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we go, all right, let's get this second. Nope,
Speaker 1: Awkward Tuesday, that's what we're doing. It starts right now.
Speaker 2: Some mothers can be a little overbearing. Oh yeah, like
Speaker 2: maybe when you turn twenty one, they set up a
Speaker 2: secret j date profile to find you a nice Jewish
Speaker 2: wife without telling you about it, And next thing you know,
Speaker 2: suddenly you're getting DMS from some yenta. It's the synagogue
Speaker 2: trying to send you unsolicited mondol bread and a ziplock
Speaker 2: of her homemade rugela when you never asked for help
Speaker 2: in the first place. Yeah, yeah, that's traffic.
Speaker 4: Is good.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, he took it anyway. One of our listeners
Speaker 2: came across a mother that was just like that, and
Speaker 2: what was said to her is either going to be
Speaker 2: the biggest misunderstanding ever or the most awkward roommate conversation
Speaker 2: of all time. Oh no, you're gonna hear it in
Speaker 2: your brand new awkward Tuesday phone call right after this.
Speaker 2: It's awkward. It's awkward Tuesday phone call. There's certain events
Speaker 2: that always seem to create drama. Yeah, where guaranteed by
Speaker 2: the end, somebody is probably going to be crying in
Speaker 2: a bathroom or fistfighting out in the parking lot. We're
Speaker 2: talking bachelor bachelorette parties, Thanksgiving dinners, and of course brooks
Speaker 2: out of wedlock baby showers. Wait, what always somebody's crying
Speaker 2: at the end of those people Yeah, sure, but you
Speaker 2: don't normally expect to find drama while attending your parents
Speaker 2: work event.
Speaker 4: WHOA, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, apparently not, because that's what happened to one of
Speaker 2: our listeners, Kayla, and now she needs our help with
Speaker 2: an awkward Tuesday phone call. Kayla, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 5: Hi, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I can't wait to hear if you're
Speaker 1: the starter of the drama, if it's somebody else's why
Speaker 1: did you go in the first place? A question?
Speaker 2: That's true. The fact that you even still talk to
Speaker 2: your parents, that's just impressive. But tell us what is
Speaker 2: this work event that you wound up that somehow?
Speaker 5: Okay, so recently I went to a work event that
Speaker 5: my dad's company was throwing.
Speaker 1: Wait, did your dad own the company? Sorry, maybe I'm
Speaker 1: reading that wrong.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, my dad owns the company.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, yes, and you can't be part of it
Speaker 1: and have nepotism if you're not.
Speaker 5: There, I'm expected to go. So they have this big,
Speaker 5: like family day picnic for the whole company.
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean it's cute, cute.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So I'm there with my parents and they're talking with
Speaker 5: some of my dad's coworkers, and of course they do
Speaker 5: it all old people do. They show each other of
Speaker 5: their kids.
Speaker 1: I mean young parents do that too, but fine, Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: once you reach a certain age, once you have kids,
Speaker 1: do you want to show them off?
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, if you're proud of them. Sure not everybody is, Okay,
Speaker 2: So they're showing pictures of kids.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And there was this one woman there and she's
Speaker 5: showing me a picture of her son, and she's saying, Oh,
Speaker 5: he's so cute, right, and he's your age and single
Speaker 5: if you're interested.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
Speaker 5: Parents love to do that and always it took everything
Speaker 5: in my power not to react because I recognized him. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Well her son has been dating my roommate for over
Speaker 5: a year now.
Speaker 1: Wait what yeah.
Speaker 4: About her? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Why is she trying to set him up? If he's
Speaker 1: in a committed relationship.
Speaker 5: I don't know, so, like I kind of hinted to
Speaker 5: her like, oh wow, like he's really handsome. It's hard
Speaker 5: to imagine no girl has snatched him up.
Speaker 4: Uh huh.
Speaker 5: And the woman says to me, well, he was in
Speaker 5: a relationship, but he broke up with her six months ago.
Speaker 5: So what Like, clearly he's been telling his parents something,
Speaker 5: but he's been lying to them. He's been telling them
Speaker 5: something that's not true.
Speaker 1: And you're sure he's dating your roommate like he's been
Speaker 1: over in the passage.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's actually a good question.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, Okay, he's my roommate, Like I know what he
Speaker 5: looks like.
Speaker 2: Any hold on, not to like defend this guy, but
Speaker 2: I have overbearing parents, and I definitely don't tell them
Speaker 2: everything about my.
Speaker 1: Personal can tell them anything. I don't tell my mom
Speaker 1: if I'm dating someone till it's like years in Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I actually introduced him on the second date.
Speaker 2: Oh god. Yeah, especially not with my dating life. So
Speaker 2: he will have a reason for keeping that information from
Speaker 2: his parents.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Jeff might be honot something because
Speaker 1: it could also be what if the mom hated your
Speaker 1: roommate and so he just lied and said, oh, we
Speaker 1: broke up, so we didn't have to hear her complain anymore.
Speaker 2: Did she seem like a hateful woman when you were
Speaker 2: talking to her?
Speaker 5: No, No, she seemed totally nice in her She's obviously
Speaker 5: trying to set up her son.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is the keystone mark of a hateful person
Speaker 2: to love life Jeff issues speaking her personal experience here,
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, yeah, maybe she hates her son.
Speaker 1: So wait, so did you tell your roommate about this?
Speaker 5: Not yet. I got his number from her phone, and
Speaker 5: I feel like I need to talk to him first
Speaker 5: and be like, why do your parents think that you're
Speaker 5: single right now? Like what's going on?
Speaker 2: And you didn't bring it up to his mother?
Speaker 5: No, because like, again I don't know what's going on,
Speaker 5: but I feel like everybody should be on the same page.
Speaker 5: And I'm putting this really awkward position of knowing but
Speaker 5: not knowing what to do.
Speaker 2: It is a weird position.
Speaker 1: And what's your relationship like with your roommate's boyfriend.
Speaker 5: I mean, like, we don't hang out a lot, but
Speaker 5: he's at our place obviously, so I see him and
Speaker 5: we've had some good times together, but obviously this is
Speaker 5: just a really like sticky situation.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, And so the advice that you're looking to
Speaker 2: get before you make your call to the boyfriend, it
Speaker 2: sounds like, what what are you wanting to hear from us?
Speaker 5: I guess, like, how do I confront him being like,
Speaker 5: your mom told me that you said you were single,
Speaker 5: but I know you're dating my roommate.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that does come across as a little
Speaker 1: accusatory right off of that.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, you kind of just want to put him
Speaker 2: on the spot and see what he has to say,
Speaker 2: how he defends himself.
Speaker 5: Well exactly.
Speaker 2: Sounded a little harsh. Yeah, yeah, but you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, put him on a pedestal and we'll put
Speaker 2: him somewhere.
Speaker 5: We're gonna do something.
Speaker 2: We're do something with it. Before first, we're going to
Speaker 2: give you our advice though, right, if we come back
Speaker 2: and let you make your awkward Tuesday phone call to
Speaker 2: figure out what's really going on with your roommate's boyfriend
Speaker 2: after this, hold on, it's awkward, it's Tuesday. It's awkward
Speaker 2: Tuesday phone call. As a woman, I imagine it would
Speaker 2: be the ultimate compliment when an older lady comes up
Speaker 2: to you in public and says, Hey, you seem nice
Speaker 2: and desperate enough to date my single son. How about it? No,
Speaker 2: I feel like that happened to you all.
Speaker 1: The time, broke it, didn't.
Speaker 2: You didn't seem nice enough.
Speaker 1: No, I don't think I've ever been nice enough for
Speaker 1: somebody's son. But I'll just tell you the only reason
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a compliment is because everyone that
Speaker 1: my mom has ever thought was cute was Yeah, it's unlike,
Speaker 1: we don't need to lead with personality. Mom.
Speaker 2: Well that's the situation that one of our listeners, Kayla,
Speaker 2: found herself in recently, and it would have been flattering,
Speaker 2: except she knew the guy from the photo that the
Speaker 2: lady was showing her. Yeah, it's a guy who's currently
Speaker 2: dating her room mate and has been for over a year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're like in a real relationship.
Speaker 2: But just get smaller. The mom's told her, No, he's
Speaker 2: single and he has been for months. Yeah, so that's
Speaker 2: a giant red flag because obviously he's not. And she
Speaker 2: never told the mom that day about it, never brought
Speaker 2: it up to her roommate either. Instead, she's turned to
Speaker 2: the most trusted source on the entire planet, a radio
Speaker 2: show named Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning to help her.
Speaker 1: Can we just applaud her to for not blowing things
Speaker 1: out of proportion before she gets an answer from the
Speaker 1: boyfriend like that right now?
Speaker 2: Dude, what is that true?
Speaker 4: Thank you?
Speaker 2: Yeah, hopefully we have some decent advice for you. Brooke,
Speaker 2: do you have anything to.
Speaker 1: Okay, listen, this is what you need to do. When
Speaker 1: you call him. You be like, oh my god, I
Speaker 1: have the funniest story to tell you. I ran into
Speaker 1: your mom and she tried to set me up on
Speaker 1: a date with you.
Speaker 4: Okay, you know what I'm saying. I don't know.
Speaker 5: I just feel so awkward, like and I've never really
Speaker 5: talked to him on the phone before, so.
Speaker 1: I know you're like Alexis, phone calls are hard.
Speaker 2: But I think there's some merit to that. If you're
Speaker 2: really nice to him, it'll make him put his guard down.
Speaker 5: I'm definitely gonna be nice. Okay.
Speaker 1: We don't even know that he's in the wrong.
Speaker 2: That I think he's in the wrong already, that's true.
Speaker 1: I think she's just scared of silence, like Alexis would be.
Speaker 1: On the.
Speaker 2: You need the silence because then it forces him to
Speaker 2: talk embrace the silence, and if all else fails, threatened
Speaker 2: to release his nude photos.
Speaker 1: Against the laws.
Speaker 2: Last resort is what I'm saying. But I'm going to
Speaker 2: dial this guy's number. Have we even learned his name yet?
Speaker 4: His name to Aaron?
Speaker 2: Okay, scumbag Aaron potentially scum back, yes, thank you, alleged.
Speaker 1: Potentially he's actually a good guy.
Speaker 2: We think all of them. Okay, here we go. I'm
Speaker 2: going to dial it and we're going to step away.
Speaker 2: Let you make your awkward Tuesday phone call. Will jump
Speaker 2: in if you feel like you need a help. Okay, Kayla, Okay, okay, okay,
Speaker 2: got this.
Speaker 5: Hello, Hey Aaron, this is Kayla. How are you.
Speaker 4: Oh hey Caylen, What's what's up? What's going on?
Speaker 5: I just something kind of funny happened the other day,
Speaker 5: and I just I just wanted to ask you about it.
Speaker 5: If that's okay, Do you have a minute?
Speaker 4: Uh? Yeah? Is everything okay?
Speaker 6: I mean it's it's kind of odd for you to
Speaker 6: call me out of the blue.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, I know. I normally just like to
Speaker 5: see you, but I just I had to ask you something,
Speaker 5: uh privately, So but yeah, if you just if you
Speaker 5: have a minute, Can I just ask you something real fast?
Speaker 4: I mean, sure, what what's the what's up?

Speaker 5: a party and I ended up seeing your mom there
Speaker 5: and she showed me a photo of your and she's like, oh,
Speaker 5: my son is single, which was just really weird because
Speaker 5: I know you've been obviously with my roommate. So I
Speaker 5: just wanted to like ask what was going on, Like
Speaker 5: does your mom think that you're single? Or is that
Speaker 5: just like a mistake or something.
Speaker 4: So this is really funny you even asked that. I mean,
Speaker 4: my mom found out she was going to your parents' party, right,
Speaker 4: And I was like, another daughter. She's really cute, and
Speaker 4: my mom she's like, well you should date her. I
Speaker 4: mean she's better than who you're dating.
Speaker 5: Okay, well obviously that's not true, but okay.
Speaker 4: Well I mean it is true. But anyways, I was like,
Speaker 4: that would be weird. Yeah, and she so, you know,
Speaker 4: well you've met my mom.
Speaker 6: She's like, let me try, let me try, let me
Speaker 6: I'll talk to.
Speaker 4: Let me try. And I'm like it's not the worst idea, right,
Speaker 4: So I was like, okay, yeah.
Speaker 5: Sure, wait, so hold on, I'm trying to wrap my
Speaker 5: brain around this. You are with my roommates, but you

Speaker 2: Wow, you have it all planned.
Speaker 1: Out so creepy.

Speaker 4: We get along great?
Speaker 1: I was a joke, Karin, dude.
Speaker 2: Even if she was attracted you in any way, I'm
Speaker 2: sure her friendship means way more than some random dudes.
Speaker 2: I know. If you're not happy with your current girlfriend,
Speaker 2: that's okay, but don't bounce over to the roommate is
Speaker 2: like twenty feet away.
Speaker 1: Especially before you've broken.
Speaker 2: I mean you could, but at least be single again.

Speaker 4: My mom came up with this and I just went
Speaker 4: with it.

Speaker 3: think for himself and only has his mom to lit
Speaker 3: them fill.
Speaker 2: Oh there's hope. Okay, Well, it was definitely an awkward call.
Speaker 2: But the good news is at least the truth did
Speaker 2: come out spicier.
Speaker 1: Than I thought. I did not think this. I thought
Speaker 1: that mom. I mean, the mom is obviously a whack
Speaker 1: could do. But like I thought, I.
Speaker 2: Don't know, take out in nineteen fifties and encyclopedia.
Speaker 5: I think it used to you know.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying.
Speaker 5: No, I'm just so thankful for you guys helping me out,
