Speaker 4: One of the most memorable awkward Tuesdays of the year
Speaker 4: where one of our listeners caught his girlfriend out at
Speaker 4: a bar wearing an engagement ring and it wasn't his.
Speaker 3: The truth shocked us all.
Speaker 4: But maybe even crazier is we get them back on
Speaker 4: to get give us an.
Speaker 3: Update like them, both of them good or bad.
Speaker 4: You'll find out it's a special awkward Thursday phone call.
Speaker 3: Right after this.
Speaker 2: Everyone's been asking for this. It's an update from an
Speaker 2: awkward Tuesday phone call. Right after it's done, we're gonna
Speaker 2: have them back on the phone to find out where
Speaker 2: they are now.
Speaker 3: It's awkward. It's Thursday. It's awkward Thursday.
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 eyesight
Speaker 4: really isn't that good anyway? That could have just been
Speaker 4: a mannequin And I'm totally seeing.
Speaker 2: You're not saying it's just like you gotta meet an
Speaker 2: 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 immediately what you saw?
Speaker 1: It depends depends on the relationship.
Speaker 5: With summer grocery shopping with somebody I don't know, are
Speaker 5: they literally making out?
Speaker 6: Min?
Speaker 3: Did you guys, see something. No, why why aren't you
Speaker 3: telling you?
Speaker 1: I don't think I would tell you.
Speaker 7: Show you.
Speaker 3: This is how they kissed.
Speaker 7: See.
Speaker 4: This is exactly what happened to our listener, Jacob, who
Speaker 4: is left dealing with a very bizarre situation now and
Speaker 4: he does not know how to proceed.
Speaker 3: Jacob, Hey, man, are you holding up?
Speaker 7: Okay? 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 7: So I've been seeing this woman, her name is Shannon
Speaker 7: for about a half a year now. We don't live
Speaker 7: together or anything, but I'd say it's been going pretty
Speaker 7: good for the most part.
Speaker 2: I thought this was going to be about someone you
Speaker 2: saw that we had to call the friend this is
Speaker 2: about you.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, this one's about me. One night she was
Speaker 7: out with their friends whatever. I got a weird call
Speaker 7: around like eleven from a friend of mine, my friend Omar.
Speaker 7: And Omar was like, hey, are you home because I
Speaker 7: gotta come over and tell you something. And he was
Speaker 7: like like really kind of on edge about.
Speaker 4: It is exactly what I was going to say.
Speaker 5: But friend says, I need to tell you something to
Speaker 5: your face. I'll be like friendship's over, dude, Sorry, I
Speaker 5: don't like anything.
Speaker 4: That must be pretty serious if he's like demanding to
Speaker 4: go see you.
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, I knew it was important, so I was like,
Speaker 7: all right, come over whatever. He tells me that he
Speaker 7: saw Shannon out at this place called Crystal Lounge.
Speaker 1: Sounds like a shady place.
Speaker 7: She was with a guy, and she was wearing an
Speaker 7: engagement ring.
Speaker 1: Are you sure that this guy's good at left and right?
Speaker 1: I have made that mistake before friends.
Speaker 5: I don't even know what that finger is.
Speaker 7: And he was pretty adamant, and that's why you had
Speaker 7: to tell me face to face.
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? Job you never put a
Speaker 1: ring on?
Speaker 4: Well maybe it was just like her friend's engagement ring
Speaker 4: that she was trying on for fun. Girls were always
Speaker 4: swapping jewelry clothes always.
Speaker 3: At the bar.
Speaker 5: Just reminds you, broke, I'll take your wedding ring off
Speaker 5: right now, thanks.
Speaker 3: To the sec So, like, did he mention anything specific
Speaker 3: like that?
Speaker 6: So?
Speaker 7: Walmart said they were like physically close, but he didn't
Speaker 7: see any overly romantic gestures happened. So I'm like, all right,
Speaker 7: it's probably just a friend. And so I fear the
Speaker 7: next day and I bring it up, thinking it's gonna
Speaker 7: be you know, like thirty second conversation.
Speaker 8: She's gonna laugh, she's gonna you.
Speaker 7: Know, but she got upset and she stormed out.
Speaker 3: She got mad at you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you know, lie, it's upset. That's how it works.
Speaker 2: It's like anybody who's accused of cheating will be like, no,
Speaker 2: you were cheating.
Speaker 5: Oh you're spying on me.
Speaker 7: But that's the thing I thought. I wanted to give
Speaker 7: her like the medicine of the doubt, and I wasn't
Speaker 7: trying to be aggressive about it or like like accusing
Speaker 7: her right And now she's not answering my calls, and
Speaker 7: so I need advice. I need advice on how to
Speaker 7: handle it.
Speaker 2: Cause I ask you, are you still hoping that she's
Speaker 2: not cheating? Like there's still a possible that she is cheating.
Speaker 2: In my mind, there's no possibility that she's not cheating.
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, I see what you're saying. Everybody in this
Speaker 4: room is kind of in agreement. It looks really bad
Speaker 4: for her right now, and it's very very likely that
Speaker 4: something is happening behind your back.
Speaker 5: I feel like we have not just out of the
Speaker 5: fact she could be a jewelry heist person as lots
Speaker 5: of 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: Like you want to what you want to get the
Speaker 1: truth out of her?
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, I really am still holding out hope for
Speaker 7: it to just be something that she's like embarrassed about,
Speaker 7: 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: Well they probably haven't gotten married yet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, him away.
Speaker 1: Now you didn't see a wedding band.
Speaker 3: It's totally different now, Jake.
Speaker 9: I'm sorry that you're going through this, but we're going
Speaker 9: to try and give you a little bit of advice
Speaker 9: here before we call your girlfriend Shannon and let you
Speaker 9: ask her the question, what was going on when my
Speaker 9: friends saw you out the other night at a lounge
Speaker 9: wearing an engagement ring with another guy.
Speaker 2: No matter what happens, like you're the winner out of this,
Speaker 2: she's the sucky one.
Speaker 3: You don't have to hit on him now he's still
Speaker 3: with somebody. We get to that in a second. Your
Speaker 3: awkward Tuesday phone call is coming up right after this.
Speaker 2: Hey, we're in the middle of an awkward Thursday phone
Speaker 2: call up dates, which means you don't want to miss
Speaker 2: the part three where we get the couple back on
Speaker 2: the phone to find out what's happened.
Speaker 1: Since it's awkward.
Speaker 3: It's Thursday's Thursday.
Speaker 4: If you're just joining us for the awkward 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 brank like I need.
Speaker 1: To be taking notes, Jeff, so right there. 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, it's.
Speaker 3: Just this stupid situation. I had to wear it. It was
Speaker 3: 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.
Speaker 4: It's the least that he deserves. Right, what's your advice
Speaker 4: to Jacob.
Speaker 2: You were gonna take control of this situation, okay, right,
Speaker 2: and you were gonna tell her.
Speaker 1: You need to tell me the truth now. You need
Speaker 1: to rip it off like a bandage.
Speaker 2: Rip it off like a band aid, because if she
Speaker 2: waits any longer, it's only gonna get worse.
Speaker 1: Like you deserve the truth.
Speaker 2: And if she has ever respected you ever in the
Speaker 2: time that she's known you, now is the time to
Speaker 2: show that there it is all right?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, there was actually a little bit of advice
Speaker 3: in their good job. Every week I give great advice.
Speaker 3: Jose What about you? What do you think? Remember you
Speaker 3: need to make her feel comfortable.
Speaker 5: Remind her, honey, I want you to know first I
Speaker 5: love you, okay, And whatever you say in this conversation, I.
Speaker 1: Promise not to judge what. We listen and we don't judge.
Speaker 1: That's a TikTok trans.
Speaker 5: TikTok.
Speaker 1: You know what you do, you judge it, then maybe.
Speaker 4: She will be comfortable to I think actually all of
Speaker 4: us could take that advice in this room. We should
Speaker 4: listen and not judge her yet, because there could be
Speaker 4: a logical explanation for this, We're all going to look
Speaker 4: really stupid. If we're being as hateful as Brook is
Speaker 4: towards her, she would have.
Speaker 2: Just said the logical thing, if it was logical, Jeff,
Speaker 2: I don't want to look stupid, so listen, and then.
Speaker 7: If this doesn't go my way, I am fully welcome
Speaker 7: to judge.
Speaker 3: Yes exactly, that's actually what we do best on the show.
Speaker 3: But let's call her.
Speaker 4: We'll see if Shannon picks up, and then we'll step
Speaker 4: away and let you make your awkward call and we'll
Speaker 4: be here if you feel like you need a little
Speaker 4: bit of help, okay, with good luck.
Speaker 6: Hello, Hey it's me. I said, I don't feel like
Speaker 6: talking right now.
Speaker 7: No, we need to talk right now. What do you mean,
Speaker 7: not feel like talking right now? That's not fair.
Speaker 6: Because you just seem really upset about something that honestly
Speaker 6: I do not feel like talking about.
Speaker 7: Well, I don't think I should feel about it. Like what,
Speaker 7: I want to get this I want to get this
Speaker 7: over with. I want to hash this out.
Speaker 6: Okay, Okay, then just you know what, just move on
Speaker 6: what we have to hatch out.
Speaker 7: We don't have to hash out anymore. Okay, Sorry, am
Speaker 7: I not supposed to be upset when my buddy comes
Speaker 7: to me saying that you have an engagement ring on
Speaker 7: and you're hanging with some other guy.
Speaker 6: Like, what is that, Jacob? I don't want to hurt you.
Speaker 7: It's yeah, it's a little late for that. You just
Speaker 7: need to tell me whatever the truth is. Okay, I
Speaker 7: can handle it.
Speaker 6: It's hard to explain.
Speaker 7: Well, can you try, can you try for me here, please, Shannon.
Speaker 6: Well, you know my friends Sierra, right, Yeah, I know Sierra. 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 him in a while.
Speaker 8: What does this have to do with us?
Speaker 6: So one of the guys who was there to hang like, well,
Speaker 6: he was my ex So.
Speaker 7: What what does that even mean?
Speaker 6: So we hooked up and I didn't know what to
Speaker 6: say to you because you're so sweet to me. Oh
Speaker 6: my god. And I started dating him again, and I
Speaker 6: know it's messed up, I know, but I've always just
Speaker 6: wanted to have a forever relationship, be married, and so
Speaker 6: I had it in my head that I was just
Speaker 6: going to say yes to whoever proposed first. Oh, and
Speaker 6: he proposed a few nights ago.
Speaker 7: So so wait, sorry, you're actually you're really engaged. I
Speaker 7: 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.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 7: What is that?
Speaker 6: What's going on?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 4: Oh my god, Shannon, Shannon, we've been listening to this culture.
Speaker 4: You're on the radio right now with a show called
Speaker 4: Brook and Jeffrey. In the morning, we're doing something called
Speaker 4: awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 7: Oh what look? Yeah, you weren't answering my calls and
Speaker 7: I didn't know how to address this with you. I've
Speaker 7: been trying, and so I called radio station to help
Speaker 7: me get ahold of you.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and no, god, I believe you did this on
Speaker 6: the radio.
Speaker 1: Maybe you shouldn't have been cheating.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: We do a lot of these phone calls, I'll tell you, Shannon,
Speaker 4: And we don't normally get a lot that end like this.
Speaker 4: Usually it's somebody playing a joke, there's some hilarious misunderstanding.
Speaker 4: Turns out, Shannon, you're just a two timing cheater, Like Helen,
Speaker 4: are you dating?
Speaker 1: For your engaged to this guy?
Speaker 7: Who are you?
Speaker 6: Why do I have to answer questions to you? I
Speaker 6: don't even know who I'm talking to at this point.
Speaker 6: You think I'm just going to answer some questions for
Speaker 6: some people I've never talked to you before.
Speaker 3: Well, it's pretty valid to the situation.
Speaker 6: Jacob's friend and we're defending your good jacome friend. He
Speaker 6: called the radio station. Now he's your friend, Yes he is.
Speaker 3: We're really cling. You don't know us.
Speaker 6: Jacob is my friend. Like, I still want him to
Speaker 6: be part of my life.
Speaker 4: Sorry, after all of this, you think Jacob would still
Speaker 4: want to be around you?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Him 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.
Speaker 6: And why are you there? I want you in my life.
Speaker 2: Wedding a year so that your current boyfriend get over you,
Speaker 2: that he can go.

Speaker 3: in the court of room.
Speaker 1: I can help you to move on. Okay, yeah, okay, yeah.
Speaker 6: You guys, you don't know me. But I'm not a
Speaker 6: bad person. Yes, maybe I made a mistake. Maybe I
Speaker 6: should have broken up with Jacob earlier, but I'm not
Speaker 6: a bad person.
Speaker 4: Maybe, Jacob, are you willing to call this strike one
Speaker 4: and give it two more friends?
Speaker 3: You know, for in the name of friendship?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think all nine innings are over sports analogy.
