Speaker 1: But today is a brand new awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 1: Before we get to this awkward call, though, what do
Speaker 1: we got on on the comments? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Ou Pasu said.
Speaker 7: I was celebrating Midsummer with my family and relatives and
Speaker 7: some drama ended up happening like always anyways, I was
Speaker 7: listening to you guys and started laughing while my aunt
Speaker 7: was yelling and crashing out on everybody.
Speaker 2: And when she saw me laughing, she completely.
Speaker 7: Lost it and left the party.
Speaker 2: Let from Finland.
Speaker 5: Probably good.
Speaker 1: Why do I like to hear that Finnish families are
Speaker 1: as I don't know, chaotic and yeah families, It makes
Speaker 1: me feel better.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, all right, here we go your brand new Oh.
Speaker 1: This is actually really appropriate awkward Tuesday phone call being.
Speaker 2: In a crash out. Yeah yeah, it starts right now.
Speaker 4: If a former crush slips you a secret note, that's
Speaker 4: pretty exciting, right Yeah, well not for our listener, he says.
Speaker 4: As soon as he got handed that piece of paper,
Speaker 4: he started to sweat profusely and broke out in a
Speaker 4: rash from how nervous the entire thing made him. When
Speaker 4: you find out the reason why, you'll understand why this
Speaker 4: could be probably the most.
Speaker 6: Awkward of all awkward calls ever.
Speaker 5: It's come up right after this.
Speaker 6: It's awkward.
Speaker 2: It's Tuesday.
Speaker 5: It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 4: Attending a family reunion can bring up a lot of
Speaker 4: feelings and emotions joy, nostalgia, brooks case, arousal, Oh my god, John,
Speaker 4: But maybe the one emotion that you don't want to
Speaker 4: feel is awkwardness.
Speaker 1: I mean, can you avoid it when your whole family
Speaker 1: gets together.
Speaker 5: It's a good point.
Speaker 4: But apparently that's how one of our listeners, George felt
Speaker 4: when he met up with some of his extended family
Speaker 4: members recently, and now he's bringing the drama from his
Speaker 4: family circle into powers.
Speaker 1: I mean, we all have to wear matching T shirts
Speaker 1: a reunion, you.
Speaker 5: Know, if that's what it takes. George, Welcome to the
Speaker 5: show man.
Speaker 8: How's it going good?
Speaker 2: Good? Did the reunion already happen? George?
Speaker 8: Yeah, it happened.
Speaker 9: There was a few weeks back.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, so it's lingering. You survived it, maybe?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Okay, what mad did you reach out to our show
Speaker 5: for help?
Speaker 8: Okay? Yeah?
Speaker 3: So basically we were having a little family reunion. It
Speaker 3: was extended family.
Speaker 8: So people I knew and then didn't know too well.
Speaker 1: Nice little barbecue, You're like, wow, we all kind of
Speaker 1: look alike.
Speaker 10: Cool.
Speaker 8: Yeah, there was a good vibe.
Speaker 10: And then I did probably about an hour and a half,
Speaker 10: and this younger girl, probably around my age, she came
Speaker 10: in and she died to look super familiar, but I
Speaker 10: couldn't really put my finger on where I knew her from.
Speaker 2: Yes, and she's a cousin.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so I.
Speaker 8: Was asking my aunt about her.
Speaker 3: Later she goes, yeah, no, that's Ashley, that's your second cousin.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, ok yeah.
Speaker 3: So I was like, okay, maybe I met her a
Speaker 3: while back. But then it just dawned on me that
Speaker 3: we had met at a coffee shop. I was actually
Speaker 3: had a coffee shop trying to support a friend playing
Speaker 3: a little acoustic guitar.
Speaker 8: The guitar and night little.
Speaker 3: Opened my night, and we actually met that night, and
Speaker 3: we we kind of hit it off.
Speaker 2: Shut up, Oh you said it was your second cousin
Speaker 2: off limits, broke.
Speaker 8: I didn't know until until the reunion. You guys aren't listening.
Speaker 6: So there was romantic vibes happening when you two met.
Speaker 8: Yeah, we hit it off like she oh God, my
Speaker 8: number and transparency.
Speaker 3: He hinted towards the fact that if I came over
Speaker 3: later that night and her parents weren't there.
Speaker 8: I'd probably get lucky. Her parents were, Thank god, she
Speaker 8: need thank god.
Speaker 5: Yeah my god.
Speaker 2: So did you when you saw her at the reunion?
Speaker 2: Were you like, oh God, Like, I mean, why are
Speaker 2: you telling me us this? I didn't take this to
Speaker 2: the grade. I would never mention ever again, you anyone.
Speaker 4: So when your aunt told you that she's actually your
Speaker 4: second cousin.
Speaker 5: What was going through your head?
Speaker 3: I mean, panics, sweating, trying to confirm is this really happening?
Speaker 8: And my dreaming pinched me that the stuff. But then
Speaker 8: we're at theland the reunion. She handed me a piece
Speaker 8: of paper saying, you know, we need to talk. We
Speaker 8: need it, and this is where I'm at now. That's
Speaker 8: why I called y'all. I just need some advice. I
Speaker 8: don't know what she wants to talk about. I don't know.
Speaker 4: She's sorry to interrupt you, George Brook, Why are you
Speaker 4: shaking your head no right now with like the frowniest
Speaker 4: face I've ever seen you yet.
Speaker 1: Why would she need to talk There's nothing to talk about.
Speaker 4: But you're you're assuming that she wants to talk about
Speaker 4: their romantic interaction.
Speaker 2: Yes, of course, what else would she want to talk about?
Speaker 2: The aunt's salad recipe.
Speaker 8: You guys, I need to correct you on that there
Speaker 8: was actually no romantic interaction.
Speaker 3: I mean, there was a little bit of flirting and whatnot,
Speaker 3: but it wasn't you know that.
Speaker 6: Everything above the belt?
Speaker 2: It could be well said.
Speaker 8: We were in a coffee shop. I never even hung
Speaker 8: out with her.
Speaker 5: After that.
Speaker 2: Okay, thank goodness. Yeah, you know, I just fear she's
Speaker 2: still interested. That's where she wants. Okay, listen.
Speaker 1: Maybe she just wants to say, hey, listen, what happened
Speaker 1: in the coffee shop can never be said to any of.
Speaker 6: Our family to squash it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, well that's perfect. I'm just glad he's not
Speaker 4: calling the radio about it.
Speaker 8: Then I've had nowhere else return. You know, I can't
Speaker 8: talk to my family about it.
Speaker 4: You're just listening to us one day and you're like,
Speaker 4: wait a minute, Yeah, these are the people that are going.
Speaker 2: To help I want of the host talks about her
Speaker 2: cousin's day. Dat I've never dated a cousin, been attracted
Speaker 2: to a cousin. I've never kissed a cousin, even a
Speaker 2: second cousin, a third cousin.
Speaker 4: Someone's protesting a whole lot, you know what they say. Anyway,
Speaker 4: So what do you want to do then? With your
Speaker 4: awkward Tuesday phone call here? What advice are you looking for?
Speaker 8: I have no idea what.
Speaker 3: She's going to say, but I just kind of need
Speaker 3: some advice on my temperament, my mood, and I don't
Speaker 3: even know if she's interested in me, and that would
Speaker 3: be super weird.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I mean when you saw her, don't.
Speaker 8: Ask no comment, I'm not answering.
Speaker 6: Okay, Oh god, you're a super hot family.
Speaker 5: Hi, all of your attract No comment.
Speaker 2: Feels so bad.
Speaker 4: Okay, and say no please, Yeah, let's get something you
Speaker 4: can answer. What's her name?
Speaker 2: As cousin Ashley, just reminding the way he was.
Speaker 4: Saying that he was smiling, you could tell anyway. Let's
Speaker 4: give you some advice. We're gonna come back tell you
Speaker 4: exactly what you need to do before we let you
Speaker 4: make your awkward Tuesday phone call to the second cousin
Speaker 4: you had a little flirtation with not too long ago,
Speaker 4: right after this whole.
Speaker 8: Correction, This was like two years ago.
Speaker 2: Oh is that long ago?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 2: I don't think I realized the timeline. Oh okay, that's right.
Speaker 4: Distance makes the heart grows fun, hopefully not too fun.
Speaker 4: When we do your awkward Tuesday phone call right after this.
Speaker 5: It's awkward.
Speaker 2: It's Tuesday.
Speaker 5: It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 4: It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And if you're
Speaker 4: just joining us, this is the definition.
Speaker 5: Of awkward Tuesday.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's already our listener, George bumped into a woman
Speaker 4: at a coffee shop two years ago. He described that
Speaker 4: interaction as flirtatious. Nothing happened, but there were definite vibes.
Speaker 2: No, I mean, she invited him over to her place
Speaker 2: that night.
Speaker 6: And she she alluded that she would like him maybe
Speaker 6: to swing by later that night.
Speaker 4: Thankfully that did not happen, because two years later, he's
Speaker 4: at his family reunion and sees that same woman from
Speaker 4: the coffee shop, only to learn it's actually his second cousin, Ashley.
Speaker 6: We want to emphasize second.
Speaker 8: Normally it's not that.
Speaker 5: Important, but I think it is right now.
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. That's close. I don't care what number
Speaker 2: you put at the front of cousin. You can't. I mean,
Speaker 2: maybe we get into double digits and it's fine.
Speaker 6: But they were introduced. They didn't say a whole lot
Speaker 6: to each other.
Speaker 4: But at one point she did slip him a note
Speaker 4: that said the most terrifying forwards anybody. But he can
Speaker 4: hear we need to talk, and so he has no
Speaker 4: clue what that's about. He's so nervous that he wanted
Speaker 4: our advice before he reached out to her. So Brooke,
Speaker 4: what do you have for him. What advice can you give?
Speaker 2: Well, the nervous is the problem right now. Honestly, the
Speaker 2: more nervous you sound more it sounds like you're into her.
Speaker 2: You have to be chill, you have to care not
Speaker 2: at all nonchalant.
Speaker 9: Bro.
Speaker 8: But I don't have a crush on her, And I
Speaker 8: think you if you were in my situation, you'd be
Speaker 8: slightly nervous too, because this is a really weird situation.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying you have a crush. I'm just saying
Speaker 2: you sound like you could if you come off nervous.
Speaker 8: Okay, I get it, but I don't have a crush.
Speaker 5: Okay, but just the way say it, just the way.
Speaker 4: You said it makes it sound like you do. So
Speaker 4: try to like revamp your attitude right now. And jose
Speaker 4: is going to give you some more advice. What do
Speaker 4: you think, Jose, Well, you.
Speaker 5: Don't know what's coming.
Speaker 6: It could be good, it could be bad.
Speaker 4: So you want to keep the mood light and set
Speaker 4: the tone immediately, which means it's time to tell a joke.
Speaker 6: And I got what a perfect one? Remember this? Why
Speaker 6: do the computer go to a family reunion?
Speaker 8: Why?
Speaker 5: Why to see its data?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 11: I like that.
Speaker 1: So if you start with that, make her laugh, they
Speaker 1: just the whole I'm sure, sure, I mean, Alexis can't
Speaker 1: stop laugh.
Speaker 2: You don't choose to joke your family.
Speaker 6: What do you think about putting a little bit of
Speaker 6: humor at the beginning, George, I.
Speaker 8: Mean, if you guys are saying that that's the way
Speaker 8: to go, I mean, I think it'll make me sound
Speaker 8: less nervous, So let's go with it.
Speaker 2: Okay, they sound like such a funny guy. Yeah, this
Speaker 2: will well.
Speaker 4: Are you gonna tell a nervous joke right now? Yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm scared of what's gonna happen. But we're running out
Speaker 4: of time, so I just got to dial Ashley's number.
Speaker 4: We're gonna step away and let you talk to your
Speaker 4: second cousin and see why she wanted to speak to.
Speaker 5: You so badly.
Speaker 8: Oh man, this is the worst call I've ever had
Speaker 8: to make in my entire life.
Speaker 2: One of the worst we've had to hear. So we're
Speaker 2: with you, George.
Speaker 5: This is extra I'm kind of excited, though, I'm telling
Speaker 5: you right now.
Speaker 9: Hello, Hello, Hello, is it Ashley?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 12: Who say?
Speaker 8: This is George from the family Reunion?
Speaker 12: Oh yeah, hold on, takeing I just leave the room
Speaker 12: for them.
Speaker 8: Hey, you said you needed to talk about something.
Speaker 12: Well, it's just funny because I don't know, like if
Speaker 12: you knew that we had actually met.
Speaker 11: A while back.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it did dawn on me. I mean
Speaker 8: I think it was at that coffee joint. My friend
Speaker 8: was playing guitar. I don't really remember much.
Speaker 12: Okay, Well, you just didn't say anything about it that
Speaker 12: day when we saw each other.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, it was weird.
Speaker 12: You can say anything.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't want to remember a lot.
Speaker 12: Okay. Well, I just think it's strange because when I
Speaker 12: look back on it, it seemed like you were really
Speaker 12: attractive to me, and I never called you. Is that
Speaker 12: right if I'm remember incorrectly.
Speaker 8: Yeah, And I'm happy now you never called me.
Speaker 3: I wasn't happy back then, but I was definitely happy
Speaker 3: now I'm happy now.
Speaker 12: So like, I don't know you, you know, I don't
Speaker 12: know how you are. Like if you would think it's
Speaker 12: funny and just like bring up to someone, but I
Speaker 12: would be mortified. Yeah, And I don't feel like the
Speaker 12: family would like never let it go, and I just
Speaker 12: wouldn't want to shore my face with another reading you
Speaker 12: know what I mean? And then sure cool were on
Speaker 12: the same page because I just wanted to get clarity
Speaker 12: because I remember you know from before and then how
Speaker 12: you look at me at to get together, and I
Speaker 12: just feel like you're still attracted to me, and I
Speaker 12: just think it's weird.
Speaker 8: What No, when you talk you're my second cousin. That
Speaker 8: it's confirmed now. I mean, like, yeah, you are an
Speaker 8: attractive person, but I'm.
Speaker 12: Not more awkward than it has to be.
Speaker 8: Like no, no, I don't want to say that. I'm
Speaker 8: just I am telling you that.
Speaker 3: I mean, you do add life flips in a nice
Speaker 3: jaw line, but I'm not attracted to you.
Speaker 8: But I could see how anyone else would think that
Speaker 8: that is attractive. But we're related.
Speaker 11: I mean, right, we are related, and we know that
Speaker 11: now and this is just not going to come up again,
Speaker 11: and then we'll never mention it again to anyone because
Speaker 11: it's like weird.
Speaker 8: I'm definitely not going to mention to anyone how I
Speaker 8: was attracted to you, but I'm no longer attracted to you,
Speaker 8: even though you still have attractive features like your body.
Speaker 12: Thanks, but please just stop. I just don't want it.
Speaker 12: I just don't want to be awkward.
Speaker 6: If that's argue. I just can't let it keep going.
Speaker 9: What what is that?
Speaker 6: Hello, Hello Ashley, we're a radio.
Speaker 2: Show about not talk about it thing.
Speaker 12: Yeah, oh no, how did you hear about this?
Speaker 6: We've actually been a part of this since the beginning
Speaker 6: of the call because we're.
Speaker 2: With ancestry dot com.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're.
Speaker 4: So. George wanted to call you after he got the
Speaker 4: note that you gave him at the family reunion and
Speaker 4: he felt really nervous, very awkward about making this call.
Speaker 4: He wanted a little advice and a little support. Okay,
Speaker 4: so it wouldn't be weird.
Speaker 2: I just can't happen this is on the radio.
Speaker 12: This is so embarrassing.
Speaker 2: Oh it's fine, nothing happened. You guys will be able
Speaker 2: to laugh.
Speaker 12: I don't want this to be a family like inside
Speaker 12: joke or something.
Speaker 9: No vibes.
Speaker 3: We don't know.
Speaker 2: Nobody knows who you are right now, because we.
Speaker 1: Have a whole mayflower joke in our family because there
Speaker 1: is a direct relationship between two members.
Speaker 2: Anyway, it gets funny.
Speaker 6: Sure, go ahead, George, tell her a joke.
Speaker 5: This is a good time, all.
Speaker 8: Right, So I think have you ever no, tell me
Speaker 8: the joke again one more time.
Speaker 2: It was about the computer going to the reunion.
Speaker 5: And the reunion.
Speaker 8: The computer at the family reunion. What did they say that.
Speaker 2: George?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, my mom was right.
Speaker 12: You are from the stupid time of the family.
Speaker 8: That's what that's Hey, stupid is a stupid Does that
Speaker 8: mean you're stupid as well?
Speaker 2: Come back?
Speaker 6: Bottom line, Ashley is George is not attracted to you.
Speaker 2: Why are we saying it again?
Speaker 6: Because she doesn't seem to get like that. That's what's
Speaker 6: actually happening.
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody does.
Speaker 5: We're trying to help.
Speaker 4: We're we're trying to help George confirm there is no
Speaker 4: romantic interest on his part whatsoever.
Speaker 8: I think I made that, Claire. I said it like
Speaker 8: four times.
Speaker 6: Yes, But then you added on commentary.
Speaker 2: Jaw line, there was a body mentioned in there.
Speaker 5: I don't think we need the reminder.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so just delete all that from your memory. George
Speaker 6: does not feel.
Speaker 5: That way about you. She's not.
Speaker 1: Just get your parents to host and leave some of
Speaker 1: the family off the invite last, leave the dumb.
Speaker 6: Part of the family out.
Speaker 8: Wait, I don't get that part. The people.
Speaker 5: Oh, it's a mystery.
Speaker 4: We'll never know, don't people say who anyway, it sounds
Speaker 4: like you two are are in a good place.
Speaker 6: You're never going to mention it.
Speaker 5: Think it's better.
Speaker 6: You guys are never going to talk about this again.
Speaker 4: Luckily there's going to be no record of it online
Speaker 4: living on Brook and Jeffrey Podcast. Any last words, this
Speaker 4: is the last you're ever going to talk about this conversation.
Speaker 8: Wow, you know, whatever you're doing in your workout routine,
Speaker 8: keep going. I'm just saying, from a family member to
Speaker 8: a family.
Speaker 2: Member, potato salad recipe.
Speaker 4: Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 6: Is it me or did those two have chemistry?
Speaker 4: I think there's a healthy family friendship that can come
Speaker 4: out of this whole situation.
Speaker 2: No, I really do. And they didn't know each other before.
Speaker 2: They can stick to that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Like it wasn't an important part of the family that
Speaker 1: you've lost, It was a second cousin you didn't.
Speaker 2: Let's just keep on knowing.
Speaker 6: There was some sort of tension was definitely there between them.
Speaker 4: But I'll just said, whenever I'm at a family reunion,
Speaker 4: nobody ever compliments me on my body, And I think
Speaker 4: that would actually feel really nice.
Speaker 6: Yeah, for somebody to notice.
Speaker 5: Jeffrey you've grown up so much. Look at that rock
Speaker 5: and body you have.
Speaker 2: Your mom hears this, I feel like she might.
Speaker 1: Good.
Speaker 6: Now I'm starting to understand the experiences that you've had.
Speaker 6: I can admit I was wrong.
Speaker 2: That seems nice not had these experiences.
Speaker 4: And no, it's totally innocent until the cousin who's a
Speaker 4: pizza guy arrives.
Speaker 6: Then who knows Jeff's family next reunion compliments something his arms.
Speaker 12: Arms.
Speaker 4: Anyway, if you ever need help with your family, issues,
Speaker 4: with your personal life, friends, romantically, whatever it is, email
Speaker 4: the show. We'll give you our advice and let you
Speaker 4: make an awkward call on our radio station. It's Brooke
Speaker 4: and Jeffrey in the morning.
