Speaker 1: Hey, it's Brook and Jeffrey and this is the Second
Speaker 1: Date podcast.
Speaker 2: You found it?
Speaker 1: Yes, So a month ago, two months ago, alexis two,
Speaker 1: we tried out the Awkward Tuesday phone call. Yes, because
Speaker 1: if you didn't realize, we are a full radio show
Speaker 1: and we do a lot of other things outside of
Speaker 1: the Second Date And so we're like, Okay, y'all love
Speaker 1: the Second Date update. We love that. Would you also
Speaker 1: like this little relationship segment as well? And you guys did, yes, Yes,
Speaker 1: the Awkward Tuesday goes up on Sunday right now, which
Speaker 1: made no sense. Yeah, and it has been one of
Speaker 1: the most downloaded segments of the podcast for the last
Speaker 1: two and a half months. So so in honor of that,
Speaker 1: we are going to add some sort of clarity of
Speaker 1: the situation and we are going to start playing Awkward
Speaker 1: Tuesdays on Tuesday. Wow, genius, I know, pretty innovative. So
Speaker 1: thank you for being here, thank you for the likes,
Speaker 1: the follows, the comments, and we're going to make a
Speaker 1: little more sense. And right now is your Awkward Tuesday
Speaker 1: phone call on Tuesday.
Speaker 3: You know, our show really is all about bringing people together. Yeah,
Speaker 3: against all odds, that's what we try to do, getting
Speaker 3: a ten to agree to slummet with a two right,
Speaker 3: convincing a woman to give her ex boyfriend one more chance. Oh,
Speaker 3: come on, it's changed.
Speaker 1: Sorry for the eighteenth time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he promises he'll never make out with your mom again.
Speaker 3: Sometimes that was enough.
Speaker 1: I believe it.
Speaker 3: So we're all again. We're all about bringing people together.
Speaker 3: That's why one of our listeners asked us for help
Speaker 3: turning a woman down the little flummox. Although I do
Speaker 3: have to reject Brooks advances every day, so maybe this
Speaker 3: is actually right up our alley.
Speaker 1: Every hem, not hitting on you, just coworker whoa brook Yeah?
Speaker 3: Wowit on the conversation. But it is important for him
Speaker 3: because if he can't do this, his job is going
Speaker 3: to be on the line. Oh you're gonna hear why
Speaker 3: when we do your ran new awkward Tuesday phone call?
Speaker 3: Right now? It's awkward.
Speaker 2: It's Tuesday.
Speaker 3: It's awkward Tuesday phone call. Jose recently mentioned on the
Speaker 3: show how excited he was when he received a text
Speaker 3: message from me outside of work.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I'm still on that high, jee.
Speaker 1: I feel like I've heard about this text message more
Speaker 1: than god.
Speaker 3: So embarrassing. No, I try to never text people outside
Speaker 3: of the workplace, especially when I'm drinking, because I know
Speaker 3: that anything that I say might come back to haunt
Speaker 3: me later, just like it did on the show. Text again,
Speaker 3: I know, don't remind me, don't remind me, don't say
Speaker 3: me into the dark place again. Yeah, I was not
Speaker 3: making fun of you. Look, we all had brought him
Speaker 3: at a certain point, and that was mine. But it's
Speaker 3: a good lesson to remember because I know our listener, Jimmy,
Speaker 3: wishes he had kept his phone in his pocket during
Speaker 3: a Saturday night out. So Jimmy, welcome to the show.
Speaker 3: Tell us how this whole ordeal started for you.
Speaker 1: Oh, man, I just want to know what emojis?
Speaker 2: He is that man? Yeah, man, I'm gonna jump right
Speaker 2: into it. So I met this wonderful lady on one
Speaker 2: of the dating apps, and it was one of those
Speaker 2: times where we actually clicked. It wasn't just one and
Speaker 2: done type situation we started hanging out for. It was
Speaker 2: like two weeks straight. Nine or ten days out of
Speaker 2: those two weeks.
Speaker 3: We're all wanted dunbe people on this show, so we
Speaker 3: can't relate. But it sounds really nice. Doesn't that feel great?
Speaker 3: When you like immediately meet them when you immediately click
Speaker 3: it and you feel like you want to you can't
Speaker 3: get enough of them. You eventually will.
Speaker 1: But but I'm guessing we're leading into the fact that
Speaker 1: she's the one that he texted when he was drinking.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, what happened.
Speaker 2: Well, one of the days we didn't hang out, I
Speaker 2: hung out with my fellas and we were watching a game,
Speaker 2: and they were of course asked me, you know where
Speaker 2: you've been. We haven't heard from you. You know, I
Speaker 2: kind of told him the whole deal.
Speaker 3: They must have been so happy for you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they totally were. I mean they were
Speaker 2: pushing me and juicing me up.
Speaker 3: I was convinced that you were going to die alone.
Speaker 3: Buddy's good for you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was starting to worry about that same thing.
Speaker 1: You were worried about it too. That sounds like you
Speaker 1: have a good group of friends. That's cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean all that was great, and uh, as
Speaker 2: the night went on, we had a few more drinks,
Speaker 2: they kept asking me more and more questions, and I
Speaker 2: started getting a more you know, looselipped, and I kind
Speaker 2: of told my friends, which is kind of how I
Speaker 2: felt that I think this might be the girl I love.
Speaker 3: After only a few weeks.
Speaker 1: I mean I think sometimes you just know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this situation that did, I mean, that's all
Speaker 2: from the time I woke up to the time I slept,
Speaker 2: she was all I was thinking about all day.
Speaker 1: Why is it in past tense?
Speaker 2: Though?
Speaker 1: It was thinking honeymoon fees come to it?
Speaker 3: God already. So this is called the awkward Tuesday phone call?
Speaker 3: Where does this story turn awkward?
Speaker 2: Well, so as that night went on and continued drinking,
Speaker 2: a few shots were involved, I believe, And they're like, dude, man,
Speaker 2: if you feel this way, have you told her? Why
Speaker 2: don't you tell her?
Speaker 3: God?
Speaker 2: No, And uh, that was probably the wrong time for
Speaker 2: them to kind of push me in that way, because no.
Speaker 1: No, no, right, tell her I love her?
Speaker 3: No, you never ever tell a woman that. Wait, yeah,
Speaker 3: no point in your life.
Speaker 1: Should that be revealed on your wedding day? Yeah, we
Speaker 1: love the healthy ssculinity coming from you right now?
Speaker 3: Please tell me you did not admit that to her.
Speaker 2: Well, I decided to text her this, okay.
Speaker 1: Text, well where your garden? Not even because he's drunk,
Speaker 1: I mean, who hasn't done it?
Speaker 2: Though?
Speaker 1: Confess like more than they should have had a drunken ny.
Speaker 3: Well, what did you say? Yeah? You sent that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it was about a paragraph long, way, way,
Speaker 2: way too much. Probably a few typos in there too,
Speaker 2: I'm sure.
Speaker 1: No way did she reply?
Speaker 2: This is the worst part. This is the awkward part.
Speaker 3: You haven't the worst part yet.
Speaker 2: I wish, I wish that would have been the situation.
Speaker 2: I might not even be talking to you all right now?
Speaker 3: Oh no, there were photos involved too.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no. Walk up the next morning feeling
Speaker 2: pretty raunchy, as you can imagine. And there was a reply.
Speaker 2: But the reply was from my boss.
Speaker 1: Your boss.
Speaker 3: Yeah, wait, you texted your boss?
Speaker 2: What? Wait she has the same name? No?
Speaker 1: Wait is better?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: No, you touched your boss? Is better?
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, But what Brookes said? Who hasn't been there
Speaker 3: and texted their boss drunken lee and can that's their
Speaker 3: true feelings?
Speaker 2: What did you?
Speaker 1: What did your boss say? What was the reply back?
Speaker 2: So she actually said we'll talk about this next week
Speaker 2: with a wink emoji? Wait on, hold on?
Speaker 1: Is she like one of those old people that don't
Speaker 1: understand how emojis?
Speaker 3: Because my mom would have sent like red lips or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thees sentual lips get sent by my mom too.
Speaker 3: And maybe you don't like squinty stern emoji with that one?
Speaker 1: Could that be?
Speaker 2: It?
Speaker 3: Is that what you're thinking?
Speaker 2: Well, I was hoping, but then we ended up having
Speaker 2: a meeting at the office a few days later, and uh,
Speaker 2: she said that, Uh, she's feeling the same way about
Speaker 2: me as I feel about her.
Speaker 3: Dude, way you've never even liked about your boss like that.
Speaker 1: I love that a manager sets a meeting to tell
Speaker 1: you that she has.
Speaker 3: Did you have a whole PowerPoint presentation ready to share
Speaker 3: her feelings back to you?
Speaker 1: Is it so embarrassing for her?
Speaker 2: And now you guys know why I need her?
Speaker 1: How so you're telling us in where she's confessing that
Speaker 1: she feels the same way, you don't say anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was frozen. I did not want to lose
Speaker 2: my job and I just want things to go back
Speaker 2: to normal. So I really really need your help on
Speaker 2: this one. Oh my god.
Speaker 3: Okay, my god. So you got one thing. You got
Speaker 3: me on your team, and I'm really good at ruining
Speaker 3: everything with women. I'm gonna get on this brother, all right.
Speaker 1: A couple of jokes from Jose and she'll be turned off.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me try to hit on her, actually run away.
Speaker 3: Thanks to Jose, we might have some hope because we're
Speaker 3: gonna call your boss and let you talk to her.
Speaker 3: Say hey, I didn't mean to say I loved you
Speaker 3: in a text the other night. Try to get stuff
Speaker 3: back to normal with your job.
Speaker 1: Right, at least you didn't text your crush though, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, happy about it.
Speaker 3: We'll let you make your awkward Tuesday phone calls to
Speaker 3: your boss right after this. It's awkward.
Speaker 2: It's Tuesday.
Speaker 3: It's awkward Tuesday phone call. We don't have an HR
Speaker 3: department here anymore.
Speaker 1: I laugh because it's true.
Speaker 3: But even with zero repercussions for our actions, we still
Speaker 3: know not to say I love you to our boss.
Speaker 1: Although our boss does have a really cute sellern accent.
Speaker 3: That's not me trying to put blame on our listener Jimmy,
Speaker 3: because he did that accidentally during a night out drinking
Speaker 3: with his buddies, and he meant to send it as
Speaker 3: an I love you text message confession to the new
Speaker 3: girl that he'd been seeing, but instead it went to
Speaker 3: his boss, who shares the same first name. And the
Speaker 3: worst party is the boss is actually into it.
Speaker 1: Yes, tell us.
Speaker 3: So, Jimmy, I don't even ask you. What is your
Speaker 3: boss's name?
Speaker 2: It's ver Veronica.
Speaker 3: Okay, so we're gonna call your boss Veronica here and
Speaker 3: let you make this call. First, we need to get
Speaker 3: you some advice. So, Jose, what are you thinking you
Speaker 3: need to tell that when you texted Earli other night,
Speaker 3: you didn't think twice about it. The fact that you
Speaker 3: work together, your passion took over. But if you think
Speaker 3: about the logistics, she's the manager. You love your job,
Speaker 3: So I think you tell her.
Speaker 1: It's not always illegal to date someone within the company.
Speaker 1: You could just need to go tell management.
Speaker 3: Okay, it's an easy out.
Speaker 1: Listen, probably, yeah, but no, just say, look, I think
Speaker 1: the logistics aren't gonna work and we got to separate
Speaker 1: and just stay where we are.
Speaker 3: Okay. You're not telling her that message wasn't for you, No,
Speaker 3: because you don't want to let her down and make
Speaker 3: her feel bad. You just want to say, you know what,
Speaker 3: it's just not meant to be run Okay, okay, lightly
Speaker 3: stepping away, Brook, What do you think?
Speaker 1: Well? I mean your goal is you want things to
Speaker 1: go back to normal, and I think you need to
Speaker 1: give up on that. Dream because that ship has sales.
Speaker 1: It is gone. Yeah, so we're going to plan B.
Speaker 1: And that's for you to be the villain. You got
Speaker 1: to make it so she can't love you because you suck.
Speaker 1: I love that you need to tell her, tell her
Speaker 1: you have a secret family. Wait with someone.
Speaker 3: You forgot to tell us to work with her though
Speaker 3: she's gonna lose all respect for him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's the thing. And then you say, listen, if
Speaker 1: you don't tell anyone about the secret family, I won't
Speaker 1: tell anyone that you're in love with me. That's a
Speaker 1: pretty good idea.
Speaker 3: Jimmy, how do you feel about those pieces of advice?
Speaker 3: Or you're leaning towards either one.
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess if I had to choose, i'd
Speaker 2: probably go with a jose one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I win again. I'm gonna tell you right now,
Speaker 1: she's gonna quit her job. You're gonna be honey meaning
Speaker 1: in the Bahamas.
Speaker 2: I didn't think of that.
Speaker 1: Okay, go for it. Let's see how this works.
Speaker 3: Oh no, I love how book describes honeymooning in the
Speaker 3: Bahamas is a bad thing.
Speaker 1: It is a bad thing.
Speaker 3: Jeff Well, I don't know that could be sounded kind
Speaker 3: of nice. But we're gonna step away here, Jimmy. We're
Speaker 3: gonna dial your boss Veronica for you and let you
Speaker 3: make your awkward Tuesday phone call. Good luck, Okay, jumping in,
Speaker 3: I feel like you need a little help.
Speaker 2: Here we go. Helu Hey, Veronica, it's Jimmy.
Speaker 4: Oh do me you know what? Speak of the devil?
Speaker 4: I was just talking about you.
Speaker 2: Oh, hopefully good things.
Speaker 4: Oh, of course, all good things. By the way, the
Speaker 4: nine o'clock meeting tomorrow is moved to ten thirty. I'm
Speaker 4: going to make sure you got that in my mouth
Speaker 4: because I want to see you there.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, Veronica. You know, I think before we
Speaker 2: hook up on that meeting, I think we something we
Speaker 2: really need to talk about.
Speaker 4: I never said we were hooking up at the meeting, sweetheart,
Speaker 4: but maybe after.
Speaker 2: Sorry, Sorry, I did not mean to hook up at
Speaker 2: the meeting. Look anyway, let me tell you why we
Speaker 2: need to talk. Oh, you know the text that I
Speaker 2: sent late Saturday night.
Speaker 4: I do know the text.
Speaker 2: Honestly, I don't think I thought the whole thing through.
Speaker 4: What do you mean you didn't think it's true? You
Speaker 4: are attracted to me?
Speaker 2: Right? Well? Yeah, of course I'm attracted to you. I mean,
Speaker 2: I could anybody know be attracted to you, but.
Speaker 4: You just needed a little liquid courage. You had that
Speaker 4: with your alcohol and it kind of opened up your mind.
Speaker 2: And you don't have to worry.
Speaker 4: Very very hush hushed. We don't need anybody at the
Speaker 4: office to know. And it can be a casual thing.
Speaker 4: It's okay. I know that I'm older than you, so
Speaker 4: we can just have it like you're mind. Boy toy?
Speaker 2: Did you say, boy toy?
Speaker 4: Oh, it's just a term of endearment. Don't worry.
Speaker 2: You know the reason I bring it up. Look, I
Speaker 2: know we both love our jobs, and I don't know
Speaker 2: if you thought about it. I just started thinking about it,
Speaker 2: and I just don't want this to get out in
Speaker 2: any way and harm either one of us.
Speaker 4: Oh, I don't think that you're thinking this whole thing through.
Speaker 4: You wouldn't be my first experience at the office, sweetiest goodness.
Speaker 4: I probably shouldn't be telling this to you. But you
Speaker 4: know Luke and Marketing, Uh yeah, I know Luke.
Speaker 2: What about him?
Speaker 4: Well, we had a little fling for a few months
Speaker 4: last summer and nobody in the office knows about it.
Speaker 4: I mean, don't worry it's not like I cut him off.
Speaker 4: We still do stuff every once in a while, but
Speaker 4: it's not all the time.
Speaker 3: I can't.
Speaker 4: Oh, you can't.
Speaker 2: We all can't.
Speaker 4: What's going on?
Speaker 3: Hey, Veronica, you're on the radio right now with a
Speaker 3: show called Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 4: I'm on the radio.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Jimmy is one of our listeners, and he
Speaker 3: asked for help doing this thing called the awkward Tuesday
Speaker 3: phone call.
Speaker 1: It sounds like you have a history.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Is there any job openings where you working?
Speaker 1: People work?
Speaker 3: That sounds actually more fun than where we were.
Speaker 2: No, you, guys, you.
Speaker 1: Should have been doing this.
Speaker 2: Guys, Look, Veronica is awesome. Do not give her her
Speaker 2: hard time at all. Please, No, we're not.
Speaker 3: I'm complimenting her.
Speaker 4: If anything, I think that's Jimmy's job to give me
Speaker 4: a hard time.
Speaker 3: This is not the reaction that I was expecting at all.
Speaker 3: I thought she'd be upset or disappointed.
Speaker 1: But if anything, embarrassed.
Speaker 3: For God's sake, if anything, she sounds turned on. This
Speaker 3: isn't really what you were going for, was it.
Speaker 2: Look, Veronica, here's the deal. And I should have told
Speaker 2: you this from the very beginning. And I'm sorry, but
Speaker 2: I actually have an actual lady I met in the
Speaker 2: last few weeks who's also named Veronica, that I am
Speaker 2: in love with, and that is who the text was
Speaker 2: intended for. Your name came up in my list when
Speaker 2: I started typing V and it was a mistake and
Speaker 2: I've been drinking too much, and that's where this all started.
Speaker 3: Huh yeah, yeah, a lot. It was a really bad
Speaker 3: mistake that he made one night and it kind of
Speaker 3: just got out of control, and that's why he didn't
Speaker 3: know how to reel it back in. That's why we're
Speaker 3: here to help him.
Speaker 2: And you know, I called the radio show and they
Speaker 2: gave me this really bad advice and why we're here
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 1: Guess what, Jimmy was free? Okay, you didn't pay for that.
Speaker 4: All right, Well, Jimmy, I don't know what kind of
Speaker 4: advice they gave you. But that doesn't mean we can't
Speaker 4: hang out every once in a while, you know what
Speaker 4: I mean?
Speaker 1: Okay, you needed you can't do that.
Speaker 4: Why he's already pinking the name Veronica in bed, so
Speaker 4: why not.
Speaker 3: Did he mention that he also has a second family
Speaker 3: that he abandoned overseas.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's too late. We're hanging out.
Speaker 3: Wow, I think he did it.
Speaker 1: I mean, Jimmy, I think you need to get your
Speaker 1: resume together.
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess sounds like you're gonna get a
Speaker 3: promotion at this job. I don't know about that.
Speaker 2: Look, all I want to do is I just want
Speaker 2: to please please this is go back to normal and
Speaker 2: just act like he didn't see the text. And let's
Speaker 2: just act like we used to. But when we used
Speaker 2: to see each other. Okay, well, does.
Speaker 4: That mean you were not undressing me? Because I was
Speaker 4: undressing you when I used to look at you. I'm
Speaker 4: asking Jimmy, I'm not asking you. Female Radio Personal.
Speaker 3: Had enough of you broke. Yeah, something is so antiquated.
Speaker 3: This is the modern working world, the guy.
Speaker 1: Okay, listen, if our office had an HR apartment, I
Speaker 1: would get that woman or person in here right now.
Speaker 4: We don't lie. That's my man, and I think you
Speaker 4: need to back up.
Speaker 3: Jimmy. It sounds like your boss isn't going to give
Speaker 3: you much of a choice here. So I mean, I
Speaker 3: guess you've got two special ladies in your life, a work,
Speaker 3: live in and out of work. Yeah, I make it
Speaker 3: easy on you.
Speaker 2: Whatever, Okay, looking Jeffrey in the morning,
