Speaker 3: Scott married a.
Speaker 1: Couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 3: It is but she's a little upset that her childhood
Speaker 3: friend was a complete no show. Everyone is in the
Speaker 3: dark about why, except one of her friends, who believes
Speaker 3: she knows the real reason. Really and it is spicy,
Speaker 3: but is it true. We're gonna find out when we
Speaker 3: do your awkward Tuesday phone call right after this.
Speaker 1: It's awkward, It's Tuesday.
Speaker 3: It's awkward Tuesday phone call. There's a lot of wedding
Speaker 3: etiquette and protocols that you're expected to follow when you're
Speaker 3: invited to attend a fancy gathering. That's right, well, probably
Speaker 3: seven drinks or more minimum minimum minimum. Must wear pants
Speaker 3: unless it says pants optional on the invite.
Speaker 1: Which most do. You're not going to be wearing anything
Speaker 1: after haven't dreams.
Speaker 3: And I know in Brooks case, she requested, do not
Speaker 3: whoot during our first kiss unless the neon sign explicitly.
Speaker 1: Says to which the neon sign said to it was
Speaker 1: the entire time. Yeah, let's go.
Speaker 3: Another potential wedding faux pas that I recently heard about
Speaker 3: is responding yes on your invite but never showing up.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the only funt I had with my mother was
Speaker 2: over her friend that did that.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Listener Danielle to the show today because she recently got
Speaker 3: married and is struggling with the absence of a good
Speaker 3: friend who said they'd come but never did so. Danielle,
Speaker 3: Welcome to the show. Hi guys, Danielle.
Speaker 1: Congratulations. I mean we should start there with you.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, it's great being married. I'm so happy,
Speaker 6: but almost everything, I just yeah.
Speaker 3: They say the first two weeks of marriage are the hardest.
Speaker 3: So now that you're through this, that's smooth.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Cabo was really hard. Really, our hearts go out
Speaker 3: to you Angel.
Speaker 1: Twice.
Speaker 3: Okay, so tell us you emailed because apparently somebody was
Speaker 3: supposed to attend your wedding and did not do that.
Speaker 3: Let's get into it. Who is it?
Speaker 6: Yeah? So this is one of my like closest friends
Speaker 6: of all time. I mean yeah, we've been friends literally
Speaker 6: since elementary school. We were basically next door neighbors, like
Speaker 6: ride the bus together, everything, since elementary through college. We
Speaker 6: went to college together, and like we stayed close this
Speaker 6: whole time.
Speaker 1: You don't even have to go any further. I'm offended already. Yeah, wow,
Speaker 1: what do you mean she know showed so he no showed.
Speaker 1: He knows.
Speaker 3: It's a guy. Yeah, what's his name?
Speaker 6: His name's Warren.
Speaker 3: So take us to what happened at your wedding? How
Speaker 3: did that go down?
Speaker 6: Okay, So I'm getting to be with my bridesmaids, I'm
Speaker 6: getting ready to go down, and one of our other
Speaker 6: best friends, like one of our mutual good friends, is
Speaker 6: my maid of honor, and she informed me that like
Speaker 6: he wasn't there, and she's like I thought he was coming,
Speaker 6: and I'm like, he is coming. So like I remember
Speaker 6: like looking out because this is one of my best
Speaker 6: friends and I don't see him and he's not there.
Speaker 6: No text, Yeah, just didn't show up.
Speaker 2: I mean I would immediately honestly think that something terrible happened.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, like car accident, if he had to
Speaker 1: fly the plane got delighted, metal emergency.
Speaker 6: Well yeah, I mean that was my first thought too,
Speaker 6: because I'm like, what other reason would he possibly not
Speaker 6: show up to my wedding? Totally? So I texted him
Speaker 6: while you're in the altar.
Speaker 3: Well no, after all the wedding, second giant.
Speaker 6: Dress, he was after it okay, And I was just like, hey,
Speaker 6: are you okay? And he didn't reply at all, so
Speaker 6: I'm stressed my entire wedding thinking he's dead, and then
Speaker 6: he finally replies the next day and all he said
Speaker 6: is sorry he couldn't make it.
Speaker 3: WHOA, that is weird? Is that a big deal?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 3: Yeah, should be. If he texts her the next day
Speaker 3: and it's not a call, it's just like a five
Speaker 3: page this is he's mad. I think he's mad at
Speaker 3: something or he's a man and stuff really short and
Speaker 3: is like, that's all I need to do.
Speaker 1: A friend though, yeah, that's more important.
Speaker 3: Well, do you have any idea why he wasn't there
Speaker 3: or why he took so long to answer?
Speaker 6: My two top running series I guess at the moment
Speaker 6: are one. Maybe he's upset that he wasn't in the wedding,
Speaker 6: which he could feel bad about that, honest, Like my
Speaker 6: husband already had his groom's men.
Speaker 2: But you could have given him another role, you know,
Speaker 2: like there's other things at the wedding that could have
Speaker 2: been belved.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he could have been mad about that when he
Speaker 1: found out not the day.
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 6: My other theory and I don't really think this one's true,
Speaker 6: but my other friend she's saying that she thinks it
Speaker 6: could be that he's upset because he has feelings for
Speaker 6: me and I, yeah, I don't think that's true. Why not?
Speaker 6: I mean like he's basically my brother.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well Brook think that's kind of hot, right? Maybe not?
Speaker 3: But he thought that getting friend zone that sort.
Speaker 6: I guess, like, why would you boast me on my
Speaker 6: wedding day?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I will say I see where you're
Speaker 3: coming from, but speaking as a guy, we process things
Speaker 3: a little bit differently, not always the best way, and
Speaker 3: maybe his head just wasn't able to wrap his mind
Speaker 3: around that moment.
Speaker 1: Hasn't he seen a rom com? If that's the case,
Speaker 1: he's supposed.
Speaker 3: To I object. Would you been mad at him if
Speaker 3: he came down and objected and ruined the wedding?
Speaker 6: Well, if that was the case, I wouldn't want him
Speaker 6: to go so.
Speaker 3: Okay, So maybe he'll be grateful that he didn't come
Speaker 3: if we're able to get in touch with him, because
Speaker 3: I'm assuming that's what you reached out about, is trying
Speaker 3: to figure out why he's not answering.
Speaker 6: I need you guys to talk to him and figure
Speaker 6: out out what's going on, because he's not talking to
Speaker 6: me and I honestly, don't think I can talk to
Speaker 6: him right now or should it, because I'm so emotional
Speaker 6: about this. I don't want to upset him more because
Speaker 6: I'm already really upset. Okay, I'm just gonna make it worse.
Speaker 3: So remember with the awkward Tuesday. We will let you
Speaker 3: make this call, but we'll give you our advice first.
Speaker 1: That's right, whether you're emotionally ready or not.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll figure out how to how to get your
Speaker 3: childhood friend to finally open up and tell you why
Speaker 3: he couldn't bother to show up to the biggest day
Speaker 3: of your life.
Speaker 1: That he sucks right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's my advice. So here we go. We're going
Speaker 3: to do it with your awkward Tuesday right after this.
Speaker 4: It's awkward.
Speaker 1: It's Tuesday.
Speaker 3: It's awkward Tuesday phone call. If you're just joining us.
Speaker 3: We've been talking to Danielle, who is two weeks out
Speaker 3: of being newly married.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that part's great, that is congrats.
Speaker 3: To her, but she is still dealing with a little
Speaker 3: micro drama that happened at the wedding because a close
Speaker 3: guy friend, someone that she grew up with, said that
Speaker 3: he would show but never did.
Speaker 1: It's like one of her best friends.
Speaker 3: Yeah she did. She texted him at the wedding saying
Speaker 3: where are you? And he didn't respond until the next day. Wow,
Speaker 3: Nolly said, was Oh sorry, I couldn't make it.
Speaker 1: Yikes. I don't even think he said sorry, didn't he?
Speaker 3: I think he said sorry. I can't remember.
Speaker 1: It was rude, that's all.
Speaker 3: I don't give him any credit.
Speaker 1: I'm mad.
Speaker 3: Whatever it was, it wasn't enough and it didn't provide
Speaker 3: any explanation. He's not answering her texts or her calls now,
Speaker 3: and that's why she wants us to dial from our
Speaker 3: number so he'll pick up. And we need to give
Speaker 3: her some advice to get her ready for this. So, Brooke,
Speaker 3: what have you got?
Speaker 1: I'm saying you're coming in hot?
Speaker 2: Oh yes, Ell, i'ment of surprise because your friends are
Speaker 2: theorizing that he didn't show because he has a crush
Speaker 2: on you.
Speaker 1: So what you do he doesn't know this number?
Speaker 2: You say, Hey, listen, I'm upset that you weren't at
Speaker 2: the wedding, and now all of our friends are starting
Speaker 2: a rumor that it's because you have feelings for me.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, yes, yes, coming angry? What do you
Speaker 3: think about that.
Speaker 6: Danielle, I like it, yes, honestly. Yeah, And I'll tell
Speaker 6: you why.
Speaker 1: I think that if he hears that and he really
Speaker 1: does think of.
Speaker 2: You as just a sister, yeah, he'd be like god no, yeah,
Speaker 2: and then they'll have to tell you why he didn't
Speaker 2: really show up.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, I mean I really don't think that's what
Speaker 6: it is.
Speaker 3: Okay, So possibly harness your inner anger. Jose what's your
Speaker 3: advice wedding? My advice was actually for you to go opposite.
Speaker 4: No, I think that you need to be a little
Speaker 4: delicate with him, you know, because you may only get.
Speaker 1: One shot at this all right.
Speaker 3: You don't want to regret being too aggressive and ruining
Speaker 3: it if he does have a good excuse.
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, well I only had one shot at my
Speaker 6: wedding day and he wasn't there.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Have a feeling we're going in hot then, can't lie
Speaker 3: about your emotions as usual, anger winds. So here we go.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna dial Warren's number and we're gonna see if
Speaker 3: he answers and hopefully gets some closure on what happened
Speaker 3: why he didn't come to your wedding. Here goes.
Speaker 6: Hello, Hello, oh.
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, you get a new phone number.
Speaker 6: No, okay, so.
Speaker 4: Like, what are you doing?
Speaker 6: Huh? What am I doing? I'm pretty sure I'm trying
Speaker 6: to contact you since you, you know, just ghosted my wedding.
Speaker 4: List or not. I'm I'm really not ready for this.
Speaker 6: Now. What do you mean you're not ready for this?
Speaker 6: You had a year and a half to get ready
Speaker 6: to come to my wedding and you just didn't show
Speaker 6: up the day of. So that's not good enough for me.
Speaker 4: You know, we we're really going to do this right now.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we are really gonna do this right now. Okay,
Speaker 6: I need to know why, and so I'm just gonna
Speaker 6: be upfront. All of our friends are going around spinning
Speaker 6: the rumor mill, saying that the reason you didn't show
Speaker 6: up is because you're in love with me and that
Speaker 6: you couldn't handle bidding.
Speaker 4: You come one man about it.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, oh.
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay that's what I said too.
Speaker 4: You know, you're my oldest friend and we're family. It's
Speaker 4: got nothing to do with me being attracted to you.
Speaker 6: Okay, then why didn't you show up? I?
Speaker 4: Actually I did show up. I was actually there what
Speaker 4: twenty minutes before the ceremony.
Speaker 3: Putever you wire.
Speaker 6: I looked around. You weren't there, you weren't anywhere.
Speaker 4: I really don't want to talk about this.
Speaker 6: You owe it, Tommy Warren. Just tell me the truth.
Speaker 6: What happened? Damn?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 4: Look, when I was pulling up, I was ready to
Speaker 4: go in and have a good time with you guys,
Speaker 4: but I spotted someone that I didn't want to be around,
Speaker 4: so I just had to bail. I panicked when I
Speaker 4: saw this person because I don't want to be around
Speaker 4: this person. Okay, but what do you mean by that?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 6: I mean again, that sounds like our friends are right?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 6: Was this person? Tom? Was the person that you were
Speaker 6: so upset to see? Was that my husband?
Speaker 5: Did it make me?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 4: No, no, no no. I love Tom. I'm glad that
Speaker 4: you guys are getting married.
Speaker 3: I really am.
Speaker 4: It's got enough to do with Tom.
Speaker 6: He's legit. Okay, Then who the hell could have upset
Speaker 6: you enough to not come to my wedding? All right?
Speaker 4: Let me ask you something. It was your wedding planner
Speaker 4: named Gillian.
Speaker 6: Jillian. Yeah, my planner's name is Jillian.
Speaker 4: All right, That's what I was afraid of a couple
Speaker 4: of years ago, two years ago. Right, I was at
Speaker 4: the airport taking a flight and we met and basically
Speaker 4: he ended up giving me an STD.
Speaker 6: What that's a party favor?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know what to say.
Speaker 1: We did not mean to out your info like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Warring.
Speaker 4: Why we wore all these people on the phone.
Speaker 3: Oh, these people are a radio show, radio show that
Speaker 3: no one listens to. You, no worries. This is Brook
Speaker 3: and Jeffrey in the morning. This is called an awkward
Speaker 3: Tuesday phone call for obvious reasons.
Speaker 1: And could be used as a PSA for safe relationships.
Speaker 4: A broadcast in my issue, Well, we didn't We didn't
Speaker 4: know what the situation was.
Speaker 3: Danielle had no idea why you didn't show up to
Speaker 3: her wedding.
Speaker 6: I don't know you could have stayed first of all.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's pretty immature.
Speaker 2: I still think like, it's not like you're going to
Speaker 2: be interacting with a wedding planner.
Speaker 4: I didn't know what to do. I was freaking out,
Speaker 4: super embarrassed by the whole thing. And then it just
Speaker 4: seemed like when I saw her at the wedding, there's
Speaker 4: no possible way this can end.
Speaker 3: Well, is it something that you and the wedding planner
Speaker 3: had not talked about before this moment.
Speaker 4: No, oh, oh my god, she doesn't know. I didn't
Speaker 4: contact her afterwards.
Speaker 6: Oh my god. I just I just thought of something.
Speaker 6: My brother hooked up with Jillian after the wedding.
Speaker 7: It could be it could be fine, it could be
Speaker 7: a terrible one if you could use protection. Like, there's
Speaker 7: some people that have this problem. It's about sexual health
Speaker 7: and it should be more talked about in today.
Speaker 3: If you talk about it, everyone should get.
Speaker 6: I need to talk about it with my brother.
Speaker 3: So all that aside, it's good that this conversation is
Speaker 3: happening because now we finally understand what the real issue was,
Speaker 3: and the brother knows that he may need some antibiotics.
Speaker 1: Yes, and that's okay. My medicine is an amazing thing.
Speaker 4: Is it all right? If I could maybe bow out
Speaker 4: of this conversation. I've had a cocktail er two and
Speaker 4: I really don't feel like talking about it.
Speaker 3: I think that's exactly how the airport situation came up in.
Speaker 2: But no wonder, I mean, I think the whole point
Speaker 2: is you forgive him for that good right, Like, can
Speaker 2: you guys move past this in your relationship?
Speaker 6: I mean, honestly, I'm still really hurt by it, and
Speaker 6: I like, I just I wish you'd talk to me,
Speaker 6: and I'm really upset that you didn't reply to me
Speaker 6: the last two weeks about it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just didn't know what to say. I had
Speaker 4: no idea what to do. I knew it was going
Speaker 4: to come out eventually, but I didn't want to go
Speaker 4: into that situation and think there was any possibility of
Speaker 4: something happening that would mess up the wedding day for you.
Speaker 3: Guys, did you think that you're going to hook up
Speaker 3: with her there again? Is that what you were worried about? Nop,
Speaker 3: He's like, she cannot resist me after I've had three cocktails.
Speaker 3: All right, Well, Danielle, he did it. It sounds like
Speaker 3: to protect you and not create any more drama at
Speaker 3: the wedding than there needed to be.
Speaker 4: Yeah, just for the record, I'm sorry. I love you,
Speaker 4: You're my best friend. I wouldn't do anything to hurt you.
Speaker 1: That's sweet.
Speaker 3: Remember you're talking to Danielle, not Jillian here.
Speaker 4: So I got other words for Jillian.
Speaker 3: You do those off the air.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Well, still not thrilled about how it all went down,
Speaker 6: But I mean We've made it twenty plus years in
Speaker 6: our friendship. I think we'll make it through this too.
Speaker 3: I feel good about this. Drinks on me. Let's all
Speaker 3: head to the airport together and celebrate.
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 3: Should the airport have hookup warning signs posted up around
Speaker 3: the different terminals?
Speaker 1: No, you always know to use protection. It's pretty simple.
Speaker 3: To hook up back.
Speaker 2: When you hook up with a stranger, you don't know
Speaker 2: what you're gonna get life.
Speaker 3: But if you think about a place that has a
Speaker 3: lot of signage, the airport's probably number one on the list.
Speaker 3: So why have I never seen a sign that says
Speaker 3: hook up with a red line through it? Yeah, totally, totally.
Speaker 3: It could help a lot more people than I realized.
Speaker 1: How many people are hooking up at the airport flights.
Speaker 3: I don't even know where you would do that logistically,
Speaker 3: lines so crazy long. You can just do it in line.
Speaker 1: Not going to be a sanitary place what it is.
Speaker 3: But I'm good for them for pulling it off. Oh No,
Speaker 3: it sucks the consequences, but you know that's there. It
Speaker 3: is anyway. If you want more awkward content, you can
Speaker 3: always follow our podcast at Brooke and Jeffrey wherever you
Speaker 3: gets yours stream mustering your next Red Eye, yeah it,
Speaker 3: beautiful stranger, or while you're in the act, why not
