Speaker 1: Today gets a little spicy.
Speaker 2: Hey, it's Brook and Jeffrey in the morning, and welcome
Speaker 2: to the second day. Today is though, actually well today? Yeah,
Speaker 2: and on Tuesdays we do do the awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 2: Uh and you know what, in honor of it, why
Speaker 2: don't you just share with us in the comments the
Speaker 2: most embarrassing thing your family member has posted on social media.
Speaker 1: You know it'll make our listener feel better. I think
Speaker 1: it really will.
Speaker 2: His freaking out and we love reading the comments. We
Speaker 2: love living in the comments. What do you see, Alexis
Speaker 2: Sean Andrews said, found you on TikTok and I've been
Speaker 2: listening to you ever since. I even recommended you to
Speaker 2: my boss and she loves you. Oh well, you better
Speaker 2: give him a race. Yeah, he really doesn't. Anyone he's
Speaker 2: got good taste.
Speaker 3: Could have got himself fired.
Speaker 2: That was risky, I know. All right, let's get your
Speaker 2: Awkward Tuesday started right now.
Speaker 4: Parents never post anything embarrassed on social media, right Alexis, No, I.
Speaker 2: Love every photo my mom takes where she looks better
Speaker 2: than me, and it.
Speaker 4: In fact, go to my mom's Facebook page right now
Speaker 4: and you'll see nothing but wholesome, non politically motivated fourteen
Speaker 4: paragraph rants about how happy she is with the state
Speaker 4: of the world.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she just loves this country.
Speaker 3: He sure does.
Speaker 4: But one of our listeners is freaking out over what
Speaker 4: his new step mom just put up online, and according
Speaker 4: to him, it's not just concerning, but has potential to
Speaker 4: literally ruin their entire family's dynamic unless he can convince
Speaker 4: her to maybe take it Downike, you're gonna hear why
Speaker 4: it's so controversial while we attempt to give our best
Speaker 4: advice in your brand new awkward Tuesday phone call right
Speaker 4: after this.
Speaker 3: It's awkward.
Speaker 1: It's Tuesday.
Speaker 4: It's awkward Tuesday phone call. Awkward family dynamics isn't a
Speaker 4: new concept. No, Families have been making things weird with
Speaker 4: each other for centuries. Yeah, like in the fifteen hundreds
Speaker 4: when King Henry the Eighth was literally beheading his exes
Speaker 4: while his children argued over who got the bigger turkey
Speaker 4: leg at the wake.
Speaker 3: So yeah, nothing new there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but in.
Speaker 4: The modern digital age, we've unlocked brand new ways to
Speaker 4: make things uncomfortable with your family, which brings us to
Speaker 4: today's call. One of our listeners, Peter's, reached out because
Speaker 4: he's facing a particularly distressing issue with a member of
Speaker 4: his own household, and he needs our help with it.
Speaker 3: So Peter, welcome to the show.
Speaker 5: Hey guys, how you doing it?
Speaker 1: Sounds like better than you?
Speaker 2: Oh sucks to be you, Peter, like having a.
Speaker 1: Call of radio station for family.
Speaker 5: Drummer.
Speaker 1: It must be serious.
Speaker 6: That's all right, yes, okay, all right, Peter.
Speaker 4: We're here to support you despite the tone of how
Speaker 4: we started this segment. But tell us what's going on
Speaker 4: in your family life that made you out.
Speaker 5: Here's the deal. My uh, my parents separated about eight
Speaker 5: years ago. That's fine. I think they're better off separated.
Speaker 5: But last year my dad was telling us that he
Speaker 5: started dating somebody, which was kind of shocking. I mean
Speaker 5: he's older.
Speaker 1: Dads usually are older.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I mean I mean like post sixty.
Speaker 3: Yeah right.
Speaker 5: That was the first shocking thing. But then the second
Speaker 5: shocking thing was we finally meet this woman and turns
Speaker 5: out that she is my age.
Speaker 1: Oh, how are you in your twenties or your thirties.
Speaker 5: I'm twenty five years younger than my father.
Speaker 7: Okay, okay, I know, hold on, that's cute, But worry
Speaker 7: she's taking advantage of your father.
Speaker 1: Or is it just awkward to call her mom. Yeah,
Speaker 1: where it was.
Speaker 4: A lot of things. Tell us where we're speculating a lot,
Speaker 4: tell us where your head is at.
Speaker 5: I mean when I met her, I thought, I mean,
Speaker 5: she's obviously my dad seems really happy with her, which
Speaker 5: is great, that's the most important things. But it was
Speaker 5: just it is really weird that they ended up. I mean,
Speaker 5: they got married, and they got married. Who Yeah, what
Speaker 5: you like, Well, it's interesting you guys make that joke
Speaker 5: because she makes those jokes now she's my mom now
Speaker 5: and all that kind of thing, and I just realilyan
Speaker 5: next me uncomfortable.
Speaker 3: But yeah, if you're not.
Speaker 2: In on the joke, then it's yeah, she's trying to
Speaker 2: like lean in and be funny, probably because she's a
Speaker 2: little uncomfortable too, Like, yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean it's I mean I didn't really get to
Speaker 5: know where that much before they got married either. But
Speaker 5: he's a grown man. He can do what he wants.
Speaker 5: But anyway, we would fast forward to recently and one
Speaker 5: of my friends he sends me a text saying, Hey,
Speaker 5: have you seen your step mom's Instagram posts?
Speaker 3: This is not good?
Speaker 7: Why it's not like an apple pie that she just baked.
Speaker 3: I'm assume what is he talking about?
Speaker 5: Her latest photo is a first trip on a photo.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's wrong with she's in her twenties. Yeah, she's
Speaker 1: she's feeling good about herself.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean that's fine if she wasn't married to
Speaker 5: a sixty something year old man.
Speaker 2: What so like, if you're married, you can't post pretty
Speaker 2: pictures of yourself and if your dad doesn't care, why.
Speaker 6: Do you care?
Speaker 5: That's the thing is he's like not on social media.
Speaker 5: I don't even think he knows. I mean, this is
Speaker 5: something that a single girl in her twenties would be doing.
Speaker 5: A single girl be doing is to get attention from
Speaker 5: other men.
Speaker 2: You need to grow up and understand that wives can
Speaker 2: also post hot photos.
Speaker 4: I don't think he's saying that the wife isn't allowed
Speaker 4: to post a hot photo. He's saying that his father
Speaker 4: might have an issue with her doing it.
Speaker 2: But you don't know that she's already showed him the pick,
Speaker 2: or that he's approved of it, or and like not approved.
Speaker 1: It's also like he likes it. Listen, I have a
Speaker 1: hot Momah.
Speaker 2: Sometimes people are just hot and they can't stop themselves
Speaker 2: from being hot, you know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I understand that she is an attractive woman.
Speaker 5: I'm not saying that she can't be proud of being attractive.
Speaker 5: It's just maybe I'm not explaining this well enough. These
Speaker 5: photos are like bordering on inappropriate. I mean, it's not
Speaker 5: quite only level, but it's.
Speaker 3: Okay, got it.
Speaker 4: It's especially for someone who's in a brand new marriage
Speaker 4: with an older man to like immediately turn around and
Speaker 4: start posting photos that a bunch of other guys are
Speaker 4: liking without the new husband knowing they could cause an
Speaker 4: issue in the family new marriage.
Speaker 2: I think more than anything, it's probably uncomfy that you
Speaker 2: find your step mom hot.
Speaker 5: Yeah look I didn't say hot, its attractive.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could say she's.
Speaker 1: And your guy friends follow her and send you this
Speaker 1: picture of her. That's weird.
Speaker 5: I just don't want to hear words like smelt. I
Speaker 5: don't want to hear these smell.
Speaker 2: Are you hearing the words friends or stepmom? Ah?
Speaker 4: Well, clearly this is something that's bothering you and you're
Speaker 4: worried that it would affect your dad. So what are
Speaker 4: you hoping to do with your awkward Tuesday phone call?
Speaker 5: Here? And I don't want to cause drama. I just
Speaker 5: I want to be really respectful and encourage her pulle
Speaker 5: to maybe either take it down or tone it down,
Speaker 5: because I don't think she understands that it can be
Speaker 5: uncomfortable for other people, not just me, like the whole family.
Speaker 3: I think ale Is brought up a good point.
Speaker 7: You may call and she's like, oh, I showed it
Speaker 7: to him and he said, I can post it and
Speaker 7: this call is never going to hit the air anyways.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, I.
Speaker 2: Mean it makes him uncomfortable no matter what the dad says.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the thing.
Speaker 7: And if the dad's comfortable, then he's just got to
Speaker 7: stay uncomfortable. I mean, so we need their relationship.
Speaker 4: We need to give you advice on how to respectfully
Speaker 4: have the conversation with your new step mom that her
Speaker 4: thirst trap photos might be making people in the family
Speaker 4: feel uncomfortable.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean, like I said, I don't think it's just me,
Speaker 5: but I really am looking out for my father. I
Speaker 5: don't think that he would he would appreciate it. I
Speaker 5: really don't think he knows about it.
Speaker 4: Okay, we'll find out when we come back. We'll give
Speaker 4: you our advice and let you call your hot smilf
Speaker 4: mom and we'll let.
Speaker 3: You make your awkward Tuesday phone calls.
Speaker 5: Call.
Speaker 1: That's the same agent. You're the one who say it's
Speaker 1: funny with us.
Speaker 3: Okay, will let you say that to your mom coming
Speaker 3: up right after this? Not mom, Not yeah, not mom, okay, yeah,
Speaker 3: step mom. Sure we'll do it after this. It's awkward.
Speaker 3: It's it's awkward Tuesday phone call. Well, this is a
Speaker 3: new one for us for sure.
Speaker 4: One of our listeners, Peter, told us about an interesting
Speaker 4: family dynamic that he's dealing with, where his dad got
Speaker 4: remarried last year to a woman twenty five years younger,
Speaker 4: about the same age as Peter himself, which, obviously that's
Speaker 4: a little bit uncomfortable, he said, but he's managing.
Speaker 3: The really weird part, though, just came.
Speaker 4: Up when Peter's buddies sent him texts and photos of
Speaker 4: his new step mom's Instagram.
Speaker 2: That's so ruthless.
Speaker 4: It's because she's posting some salacious photos of herself on there.
Speaker 3: And Peter is worried about two things.
Speaker 4: One, his dad is not on social media and probably
Speaker 4: doesn't know that his new young wife is doing this,
Speaker 4: so he's trying to protect his father and his father's
Speaker 4: feelings and two besides his dad, what would the.
Speaker 3: Rest of their family think about this?
Speaker 4: Because it could cause family drama and his new step
Speaker 4: mom might not realize the impact that it has.
Speaker 1: So Peter just feels uncomfortable.
Speaker 4: Everybody does, so, Peter, he doesn't want to sound judgmental
Speaker 4: or rude about this. He just wants to politely bring
Speaker 4: it up to his new step mom. And how does
Speaker 4: he do it respectfully?
Speaker 3: Brook? Go ahead, you have the floor.
Speaker 2: And we got to stop calling him her his step mom.
Speaker 2: I know technically that's true, but it's not like she's
Speaker 2: a mother figure in his life.
Speaker 3: What's a better term for her that you would feel appropriate?
Speaker 1: With his dad's new hot wife?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's so much, Peter, Are you comfortable dad's new
Speaker 4: hot wife? A?
Speaker 6: Thank you advice.
Speaker 2: I think the way you need to approach this is
Speaker 2: Alyssa obviously loves your father, and anyone who loves someone
Speaker 2: wants to be accepted by that person's family, of course,
Speaker 2: So I think you take it as the angle as like, Hey,
Speaker 2: just a heads up. I'm getting a lot of crap
Speaker 2: about this photo from my buddies.
Speaker 1: It's very attractive, you look great, but I just.
Speaker 2: Want to let you know that maybe my family wouldn't
Speaker 2: be as cool as I am with it.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
Speaker 3: I love the photos.
Speaker 4: I think you look sexy, but the rest of my
Speaker 4: family they're not as cool as me.
Speaker 2: Don't need to go that far, but just go the
Speaker 2: angle of like you're trying to be a little protected.
Speaker 1: Ye I'm the grandma or something.
Speaker 4: That's actually pretty good advice.
Speaker 3: So Peter locked that in Jose, what do you think?
Speaker 3: So you got to think from her perspective.
Speaker 7: Right on Instagram, every person in.
Speaker 3: The world, every guy is just telling her she's gorgeous.
Speaker 7: All her girlfriends in her life tell her she's slays
Speaker 7: and she's pretty. So you may be the first person
Speaker 7: that brings up that this is a little inappropriate and
Speaker 7: you just need to be cautious about it.
Speaker 5: Okay, I mean I can't imagine that I'm the first
Speaker 5: person to tell her that maybe you should tell I
Speaker 5: can't imagine that.
Speaker 1: I bet that's actually true.
Speaker 2: I'm going to imagine that that is actually true.
Speaker 4: But you need you need to consider that as a possibility.
Speaker 4: This might be the first time she's ever got any
Speaker 4: different feedback on these photos, but.
Speaker 3: Not like that too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's something to be wary of for sure.
Speaker 4: We'll just keep that in mind and we'll back away.
Speaker 4: Let you make your awkward call.
Speaker 3: Thank you, all right, man, here we go.
Speaker 5: Hello, Hi, Alissa, it's it's Peter. How you doing. Oh
Speaker 5: I didn't.
Speaker 8: I didn't relate it with you. I thought I saved
Speaker 8: you on my phone, but I didn't recognize the number.
Speaker 5: What's up?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I uh yeah, this is a new phone number.
Speaker 5: It's okay, you can save this one in But I
Speaker 5: wanted to call because I mean, it's a little awkward
Speaker 5: for me to say. But one of my friends brought
Speaker 5: something up to me recently.
Speaker 9: Okay, yeah, they they they saw a photo that you
Speaker 9: posted on Instagram recently, and they told me I should
Speaker 9: take a look at it because it was.
Speaker 8: I don't know, hey, Peter, Sorry, sorry, can you hold
Speaker 8: on a second. I just got to take something out
Speaker 8: of the oven.
Speaker 5: You don't even cooked.
Speaker 8: Okay, all right, sorry, sorry, I'm here. Okay, So what
Speaker 8: what happened? What's with your friend?
Speaker 5: Yeah, so this is kind of uncomfortable for me to
Speaker 5: talk about with you, especially, but my friends thought that
Speaker 5: your photos might feel old, little problematic.
Speaker 6: As the right word.
Speaker 8: But what do you mean?
Speaker 3: But what photos.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're married to my dad now, and those types
Speaker 6: of photos might be viewed as inappropriate, inappropriate?
Speaker 5: How Oh, I don't want to get into the statistics
Speaker 5: about it. I just god, this is oh my god.
Speaker 8: All right, Well you called me to complain about them,
Speaker 8: so something in particular that you find wrong with them,
Speaker 8: so just tell me.
Speaker 5: Look, it's not just me. I'm also trying to look
Speaker 5: out for for you and and for my dad, just
Speaker 5: like you're you're my family now, and I'm I mean,
Speaker 5: I'm not going to call you my mom. You do that,
Speaker 5: but you shouldn't be posting first trap photos for everyone
Speaker 5: to see.
Speaker 8: Wait, hold on, I'm do you think those are thirst
Speaker 8: trap photos?
Speaker 5: I mean, you're you're barely wearing anything.
Speaker 8: Do you want to see a thirst trap photo photo?
Speaker 5: I don't. If I don't want to see anything that
Speaker 5: I've seen enough, I don't need to see more.
Speaker 8: Those are team compared to like what I was posting
Speaker 8: online two years.
Speaker 5: Ago, Okay, thing to hear that. I just I think
Speaker 5: about how maybe my dad would feel, because he is
Speaker 5: not on social media or anything, and if he was
Speaker 5: to find out that his young, pretty wife was putting
Speaker 5: pictures of herself like that online. I don't think he
Speaker 5: would appreciate it. I think you'd feel weird about it,
Speaker 5: and and like you're looking for other men.
Speaker 8: Still, Wow, Okay, clearly you don't know your father like
Speaker 8: at all.
Speaker 5: I think I know him pretty well. I knew him
Speaker 5: long before you did. Actually, so, Peter, he's.
Speaker 8: The one who took those photos. He told me to
Speaker 8: post him online.
Speaker 1: Relationship. Really, you got to train the guy.
Speaker 3: He's got to get the right angle too. You need
Speaker 3: some assistance with that.
Speaker 8: Oh my god, who are all these people? What is happening?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: These people Alyssa is a radio show called Brooke and
Speaker 4: Jeffrey in the Morning, a show that you're.
Speaker 8: On right now.
Speaker 1: And you handled that so well?
Speaker 8: What Like? This was a radio called Peter, what are
Speaker 8: you doing?
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a segment we do called Awkward Tuesday
Speaker 4: phone called. Peter reached out to us because he didn't
Speaker 4: know the right way to have this conversation with you.
Speaker 4: That the photos that you posted online might make his
Speaker 4: dad and some other people in his family feel a
Speaker 4: little bit uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: We keep saying that, but really it's just making Peter uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: What's happening?
Speaker 3: Peter?
Speaker 2: Doesn't know how Obviously anyone else feels, including his father.
Speaker 1: His father was the one that told her to do it.
Speaker 3: Peter, your thoughts on what you just heard.
Speaker 5: I can't imagine that he would do that. Maybe if
Speaker 5: they are private, like for you and him, I can't
Speaker 5: imagine that. Yeah, put it out for the world.
Speaker 1: Maybe your dad's Your dad's a confident man.
Speaker 3: Obviously, you know.
Speaker 7: He doesn't understand social media, so he's like, sure posted,
Speaker 7: I don't.
Speaker 1: Know, he doesn't millions of games.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he definitely knows social media. Like obviously he looks
Speaker 8: at my social media with me and we're laughing at
Speaker 8: the comments.
Speaker 3: Oh, he's fully aware.
Speaker 5: I can't imagine that he would. My father's an account
Speaker 5: he's a he's a pragmatic man.
Speaker 2: My hot mother is an accountant, and she will tell
Speaker 2: you that sounting can be very sexy.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of repressed emotions there then to come out. Now,
Speaker 4: your dad is in his second stage of life. He's
Speaker 4: exploring a whole new side of himself.
Speaker 8: It sounds like, yeah, he's he's into photography now. Cool,
Speaker 8: Like he's always wanted to do photography, and so I'm
Speaker 8: helping him out. It's like a passion project, like my
Speaker 8: sunset to him that.
Speaker 1: Doesn't hear his news. I mean that's what it is
Speaker 1: for you, Alsa.
Speaker 5: I mean good for you that you you look young
Speaker 5: now and you look attractive now, and you can do
Speaker 5: that and then be you.
Speaker 4: Clearly a lot for Peter to process. He didn't understand
Speaker 4: the dynamics that we're.
Speaker 1: Just don't follow her in stuff for a little bit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that might be a solution if.
Speaker 8: It makes you feel more comfortable. I could maybe make
Speaker 8: my profile private. Oh, you know, basically so your creepy
Speaker 8: friends can't look at it.
Speaker 3: Wow, that's a big compromise.
Speaker 4: That's unnecessary.
Speaker 2: That's she calls him his creepy friends.
Speaker 3: Okay, that sucks for all of us. But Peter, would
Speaker 3: that make you feel more comfortable?
Speaker 5: I feel more comfortable about it, and I think that
Speaker 5: I think that would help the family if they were to.
Speaker 1: She really is a protective step mom.
Speaker 4: Wow, Melyssa.
Speaker 8: Yeah, And I'll make sure, Peter, we have another photo
Speaker 8: shoot scheduled for next weekend, so I'll make sure it's
Speaker 8: private by them.
Speaker 5: What you want, don't I don't need to hear about them.
Speaker 3: Please, Peter supports you, and I want to follow her.
Speaker 5: I don't know a.
Speaker 1: Brooking Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 4: Got a text into seventy eight five nine two. It says,
Speaker 4: I want to be in Peter's stepmom's videos.
Speaker 3: Can you pass my number on to her?
Speaker 4: I think that's the exact opposite of what Peter's goal
Speaker 4: was entering his call.
Speaker 3: But hey, you.
Speaker 4: Snooze, you lose Pete. You were giving the chance, you declined.
Speaker 4: Now we're offering it up to our listeners.
Speaker 2: Peter's stepmom and Stacy's mom. You know they're like one
Speaker 2: of the same.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
Speaker 4: Can we just say for the record that it's not
Speaker 4: anybody's place to say what any person should or should
Speaker 4: not be posting of themselves online.
Speaker 1: I want to say for the record, but I'm glad
Speaker 1: you've come to that.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 4: If the hot young moms want to post photos of themselves,
Speaker 4: for God's sakes, do not stop them.
Speaker 3: What are You're crazy? What the hot mom's.
Speaker 4: Post and the hot dads and the ugly moms and
Speaker 4: the ugly dads.
Speaker 3: Everybody compose whatever they want.
