Speaker 5: like Jose.

Speaker 5: It okay to do that? Because if it is? And Brook,
Speaker 5: after this is over, Alexis says, she has some thoughts
Speaker 5: on your current situationship with.
Speaker 2: The guy that you live with, just if you're open
Speaker 2: to them it's a marriage.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, but Brook's life aside. We are about to
Speaker 5: do some love life meddling today because one of our
Speaker 5: listeners swears she has a really, really good reason she
Speaker 5: needs to stop her close friend from going out on
Speaker 5: a blind date and she wants our help to block it.
Speaker 6: Oh.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I know you're skeptical, but you might be on her
Speaker 5: side when you hear why in a brand new Awkward
Speaker 5: Tuesday phone call. Next, It's awkward, It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday.
Speaker 5: As an adult going out with high schoolers. Bad idea,
Speaker 5: terrible idea. Get word, that's what I said, bad idea?
Speaker 2: So DoD Chalantley though.
Speaker 5: What about going out with people you knew from back
Speaker 5: when you were in high school? Is that okay?
Speaker 2: Totally different?
Speaker 5: Well, one of our listeners, Carrie says, absolutely not. What
Speaker 5: terrible horrible idea to date your old high school class mate.
Speaker 5: Apparently that's why she needs our help today, Carrie, Welcome
Speaker 5: to the show. Hi thinks sounds like high school drama
Speaker 5: is still following you right into adulthood.
Speaker 3: Huh yeah, it's weird. And let me just let me
Speaker 3: just specify. I'm not opposed to other people dating people
Speaker 3: that they knew in high school, but not my friend Justin.
Speaker 2: Oh, just Justin.
Speaker 1: So it's not even other people from your high school.
Speaker 1: It's just Justin.
Speaker 5: This is a special case. What's going on with Justin?
Speaker 3: Okay? So just and our friends, we've been friends, like
Speaker 3: you said, since high school. We're now in our late twenties.
Speaker 7: Okay, And the other.
Speaker 3: Day he told me, hey, I'm going on a date.
Speaker 6: It's crazy.
Speaker 3: You can't even imagine who I'm going to date with.
Speaker 3: And it turned out to be this girl we knew
Speaker 3: in high school, Catalina Leana.
Speaker 5: What's with Catalina?
Speaker 3: Well, she was the awkward girl. She was like kind
Speaker 3: of like science peaky, a little.
Speaker 2: Still bullying, the awkward girl in high school. Are we
Speaker 2: over that?
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, no, Like she knew she was awkward.
Speaker 3: She was like the awkward smart science. Ye girl, listen,
Speaker 3: I was a little awkward. It's just I was able
Speaker 3: to play it off better than she was.
Speaker 5: You must have had somebody at your school who was
Speaker 5: like that at handling their mess and that was the awkward.
Speaker 2: Why are you better at chemistry? That was our chemistry class?
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, in about that. So that's bad news that
Speaker 5: your friend might be going out with your awkward kid
Speaker 5: from high school.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm going to give you a little more backstory
Speaker 3: before I tell you why that's bad. Okay, he got
Speaker 3: hooked up through another friend of ours from high school
Speaker 3: who was connected. She had a crush on him from
Speaker 3: high school. Blah blah blah blah. So they like got
Speaker 3: each other's phone numbers. We're talking. He still has no
Speaker 3: clue what she looks like. No one could find her
Speaker 3: on social media. Well I was curious, and I discovered
Speaker 3: that her parents got divorced and she took her mom's
Speaker 3: maiden name. So I found her on social media under
Speaker 3: her maiden name.
Speaker 1: Okay, snooping, So why are you doing all this work?
Speaker 2: He's just going out on.
Speaker 3: A date because she's gorgeous. I mean, she's like Scarlet
Speaker 3: Johansson Britain's met.
Speaker 5: That's amazing. Why is it bad? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Generally that is great for her. I'm happy for her,
Speaker 3: But here's the same guys. I don't want him to know,
Speaker 3: but I'm I kind of have a thing for Justin.
Speaker 7: It we've known each other for so long.
Speaker 3: It just a few years ago started, and I'm not
Speaker 3: ready for him to know. I need more time. But
Speaker 3: if he gets put in front of this girl, I
Speaker 3: have no chance.
Speaker 5: This is why it was.
Speaker 4: Good being nerdier in high school, because she actually has
Speaker 4: probably a cool personality too.
Speaker 1: Oh, they're not helping, Jose. I mean you sounded petty
Speaker 1: and I get why you're jealous. Can you admit it
Speaker 1: that all makes sense?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just I don't think I could compete.
Speaker 5: Okay, you don't want Justin going out with the now
Speaker 5: pretty girl? Is Justin the type of guy that's into
Speaker 5: pretty women?
Speaker 3: Or is there any guy that's not into pretty women?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Sorry, no, please, I'd prefer an ugly, stupid woman.
Speaker 2: So wait, what do you want to do though?
Speaker 1: Do you just finally want to tell him how you
Speaker 1: feel before he goes out with her?
Speaker 3: No, I'm not ready at I need more time, but
Speaker 3: I just need this figure out to convince him not
Speaker 3: to go out with her.
Speaker 2: Oh oh, you could just stay in this like nothing zone,
Speaker 2: but I have a crush.
Speaker 5: Okah, I mean this is tricky, Like Alexis, what do
Speaker 5: you think about this situation, trying to stop your friend
Speaker 5: from going out with somebody hotter?
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's the nicest thing to do,
Speaker 1: but I would do it probably myself too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but why didn't you just tell the guy that
Speaker 2: you like him? Yeah, Like, you're in your late twenties
Speaker 2: at this point, you got to shoot your shot. How
Speaker 2: many decades have you been waiting?
Speaker 5: Maybe she's waiting till he gets married and then divorced,
Speaker 5: so that his confidence is so low he'll settle for anything.
Speaker 5: That could be a good strategy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what if he likes you too, and you guys
Speaker 1: are both just living in this world of not telling
Speaker 1: each other.
Speaker 7: Well, I haven't.
Speaker 3: I mean that's kind of why I feel like I
Speaker 3: need a little more time, Like I haven't really tried
Speaker 3: to look for the signals and stuff, Like.
Speaker 4: I'm like lighting the fire. Now you realize, Oh, he's
Speaker 4: not going to be single.
Speaker 2: For fully like him until he found somebody hotter. And smarter.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, listen, let me say, like he stated, other girls,
Speaker 3: and this is going to make me sound really superficial,
Speaker 3: but they didn't feel like competition to me, and so
Speaker 3: I don't think that I really realized it until like
Speaker 3: a woman came along that would totally blow me out
Speaker 3: of the water. Now I wouldn't have a chance.
Speaker 5: Okay, now the gloves are coming off this.
Speaker 2: What do you want our help doing?
Speaker 6: Then?
Speaker 2: Like, are we calling Justin and telling him not to
Speaker 2: go out with her?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, this is convincing Justin not to go out
Speaker 3: with her, telling them that you like him exactly.
Speaker 8: Okay, chances that's all our job to come up with
Speaker 8: a way to convince Justin to cancel his date with
Speaker 8: the now gorgeous looking Catalina without letting her know that
Speaker 8: she's gorgeous.
Speaker 3: Okay, listen, you don't have to keep rubbing in how
Speaker 3: gorgeous she is. I get. I obviously know what I've
Speaker 3: seen her.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 1: I don't think you can be named Catalina without being
Speaker 1: absolutely drop gorgeous.
Speaker 5: She's not gorgeous, She's just stunning. And we're going to
Speaker 5: Justin to not go out with her. We'll give us
Speaker 5: a little bit of advice and let you make your
Speaker 5: awkward Tuesday phone call right after this. It's awkward, it's Tuesday.
Speaker 5: It's awkward Tuesday phone call. If you're just joining us
Speaker 5: for this awkward Tuesday phone call, it's a story that
Speaker 5: really speaks to my soul. The awkward kid in high
Speaker 5: school who was maybe a little shy, did school plays
Speaker 5: and chess club, and during field trips he would crawl
Speaker 5: underneath the seats on the bus and then pop up
Speaker 5: from below and say guess who. They were completely undateable
Speaker 5: back then, but a few years ago by and now
Speaker 5: they've matured mentally and physically.
Speaker 1: I feel like you still do that bus thing.
Speaker 5: And that ugly duckling has grown into an undeniable, bubbling
Speaker 5: cauldron of raw desire. That's acid, it's undeniable. And your listener, Carrie,
Speaker 5: she's not that person. She's actually kind of threatened by
Speaker 5: that person. That's why she wants our help to stop
Speaker 5: her friend Justin from going out with the awkward girl
Speaker 5: from high school who's now blossomed into the female me.
Speaker 5: Why why did you want to do that, Jeff? Because
Speaker 5: I mean, secretly, she does have some feelings for justin,
Speaker 5: but isn't ready to tell him that Carrie. Your goal
Speaker 5: is to convince him to not go out with.
Speaker 3: Her, right, yeah, exactly?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 5: But how are we gonna do that? I think Jose
Speaker 5: has an idea for you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so look, we kind of want him to just
Speaker 4: naturally not like her anymore and pass up on the date.
Speaker 4: We have to do the old fashioned high school trick, start.
Speaker 5: A rumor about her.
Speaker 1: What's that?
Speaker 4: I heard she made out with her and it wasn't
Speaker 4: that long ago.
Speaker 5: Are you that brother's review of the kids was not good?
Speaker 3: You are the words I mean. I think it would
Speaker 3: be effective, but that's the little.
Speaker 5: Means that's gross. We're gonna You're gonna have to play
Speaker 5: a little bit dirty to get what you want. What
Speaker 5: do you think, bro?
Speaker 1: Okay, listen, I don't think it's about putting the hot
Speaker 1: girl down.
Speaker 2: I think it's about building him up. He doesn't even
Speaker 2: know this girl is hot.
Speaker 1: All you need to say is, listen, you are so hot,
Speaker 1: you're so beyond blind.
Speaker 2: Dates like so above that. Then you tell.
Speaker 1: Him I have the most gorgeous friend ever that I
Speaker 1: have to set you up with. She's funny, she's everything
Speaker 1: you've ever been looking for like that.
Speaker 2: I can't tell you who it is.
Speaker 5: It's Brooke. She wants to go with your guy.
Speaker 1: Competition and then you drop it on him later when
Speaker 1: you're ready that the mysterious perfect woman is you?
Speaker 5: Oh wow?
Speaker 3: Like what if I meet him at a restaurant, I'm
Speaker 3: the one that walks in, Then I have to deal
Speaker 3: with the potential rejection of him being like, what are
Speaker 3: you doing here?
Speaker 1: All guy friends want to sleep with their girlfriends.
Speaker 5: There is Brooks advice just sleep around. All right, let's
Speaker 5: just give him a call and we're gonna let you
Speaker 5: make your awkward Tuesday phone call and try and convince
Speaker 5: him not to go out on his date. We're here,
Speaker 5: We're here for you, all right, We're down the number

Speaker 7: blind date? I mean you're so cool and like you're
Speaker 7: good looking, and you really want to like go through
Speaker 7: the awkwardness of a blind date and all that.

Speaker 6: I certainly hope not.
Speaker 5: Laughing too hard?
Speaker 6: Justin, Hey, justin, Well, are you at a party or something?
Speaker 6: What's all that laughter?
Speaker 5: I think we're kind of a party. We're we're a
Speaker 5: morning radio show. Justin called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 3: Why did you go.
Speaker 2: With Thodays Advice?
Speaker 5: I thought that was solid, though.
Speaker 6: I am so lost right now.
Speaker 5: You're on the radio right now, man, Okay, we're doing
Speaker 5: a segment called an Awkward Tuesday phone Call. Carrie reached
Speaker 5: out wanting a little bit of help to talk to
Speaker 5: you about your upcoming blind date with this girl. We're
Speaker 5: not so sure it's a good idea for you to go.
Speaker 6: Out with her because of the brother thing or I.
Speaker 5: Mean, that's just one of many many.
Speaker 1: Reasons, because car Carrie does have someone really cool that
Speaker 1: she wants to set you up with.
Speaker 6: Harry, What exactly is going on here? This is is
Speaker 6: a little weird.
Speaker 10: Okay, listen, justin, I I haven't been super honest with you.
Speaker 10: I have not been the best friend in the sense
Speaker 10: that I discovered Katalina's social.
Speaker 6: Media, and well you found her social media. What does
Speaker 6: she look like?
Speaker 5: That sound is probably all you need to know.
Speaker 4: Just new rumor coming in. I hear she looks like
Speaker 4: oscar the Grouse, like a muppet whatever.
Speaker 5: Who cares what she looks like. You're not the type
Speaker 5: of guy that bases a relationship on looks. Are you?
Speaker 5: Just come on?
Speaker 6: Like I said, at the very least, we would just
Speaker 6: get a cup of coffee and catch up a little bit.
Speaker 6: That doesn't mean we go on the second date or anything.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it starts with coffee drinking. Next thing you know,
Speaker 5: brothers are kissing.
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't feel like any of this is helping you. Guys,
Speaker 3: did you.
Speaker 2: Need to do the thing?
Speaker 7: I mean, okay, okay, I think this has become too
Speaker 7: much of an awkward quagmire for me not to say
Speaker 7: the thing that I have been trying to not say.
Speaker 2: Say the thing.
Speaker 5: Carrie, what thing?
Speaker 7: What?
Speaker 6: I still don't know what the hell is going on here?
Speaker 7: We have such a good connection, and I just kind
Speaker 7: of wondering if, like, maybe there's a mutual attraction beyond
Speaker 7: friendship between us.
Speaker 5: It is, m what do you think?
Speaker 6: So you dragged me through a whole radio show to
Speaker 6: finally spill the beams here.
Speaker 5: Be maybe she was nervous.
Speaker 7: Obviously, I realize now this is not the.
Speaker 9: Right way to do it. I just I just thought
Speaker 9: it like maybe we needed some more organic time to
Speaker 9: let it evolve. But then I saw Katalina and I
Speaker 9: would have no chance if you met her.
Speaker 1: That is not true, justin don't you think that Carrie
Speaker 1: is amazing? Could you see something more between you two?
Speaker 6: Have you ever picked I wouldn't have been friends with
Speaker 6: her for the last decade if I didn't think she
Speaker 6: was amazing. You We've talked about this, you always you
Speaker 6: know undersell yourself, see, and to be perfectly honest, Yeah,
Speaker 6: I think you kind of went about this the wrong way.
Speaker 6: Is so finally getting this out in the open. But hey,
Speaker 6: might make a great story for our first date.
Speaker 5: So justin you're into the idea of maybe going out
Speaker 5: with Carrie here, not a friend date, like a romantic date.
Speaker 6: I wouldn't mind one bit.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Really it sounds justin like you have liked her for
Speaker 1: a long time.
Speaker 6: To be probably honest, I have.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Oh my god, I.
Speaker 6: Was afraid that I was in the but you know,
Speaker 6: I just kind of I just you know, like you said,
Speaker 6: we've been friends for a long time. I didn't know
Speaker 6: how you felt, so I didn't want to like ruin
Speaker 6: a good thing.
Speaker 7: But yeah, both kind of been idiots.
Speaker 5: In all of our years here. I never thought brooks
Speaker 5: advice of just sleep with all of your friends what's
Speaker 5: the worst happen would actually work. Good job, bro, you
Speaker 5: gonna find out.
Speaker 2: Brooking Jeffrey in the morning. Actually, I think that one
Speaker 2: was really cute. Yeah, we were. I had an update
Speaker 2: from them.
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of drama to just ask someone
Speaker 1: out that you've known for a long.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's true.
Speaker 3: Just telling your closest friend.
Speaker 2: Hey, I have a crush on you.
Speaker 5: Crossing that borders hard.
Speaker 2: They can't kiss you. That's what I'm straight.
Speaker 5: For, straight for it after ten years of friendship.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bill, the first time I kissed one of my
Speaker 1: best friends, Oh this is I was like sixteen, right,
Speaker 1: and it was like my second kiss I'd ever had
Speaker 1: and the first one went horribly wrong. So this one
Speaker 1: was really good and I got so excited.
Speaker 2: I high fived him afterwards.
Speaker 8: Oh, I was like.
Speaker 2: And he was like, she goes Brooke, don't ever do
Speaker 2: that again. You're close enough he could tell you that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's still one of my best buddies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so any this couple, Pa, I think what I think.
Speaker 1: What this is is if you have a crush, just
