Speaker 3: Let's bloy around of is it friendly or flirty? Our
Speaker 3: first contestant is a Lexus Alexis, can you tell me
Speaker 3: does this sound friendly or flirty?
Speaker 1: It was how you do it's attempt to be flirty.
Speaker 3: That's flirty and thirsty at the same time. That is
Speaker 3: just cool. Even worse, Brooks said that at her child's
Speaker 3: pta meeting, so it doesn't look great for her.
Speaker 1: I was talking to the second grade boys.
Speaker 3: J Okay, who oh god. The thing is one of
Speaker 3: our listeners overheard her husband saying something even more suspicious
Speaker 3: and cringey than that, and now she's wondering if she's
Speaker 3: just being paranoid or if something actually weird is going on.
Speaker 3: You're gonna hear it in your brand new awkward Tuesday
Speaker 3: phone call that's coming up. It was, okay, how you
Speaker 3: do book control yourself? We're doing it right after this.
Speaker 3: It's awkward. It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday phone call. Ladies,
Speaker 3: If you're ever curious about what your husband or boyfriend
Speaker 3: is doing when he's not with you, yeah, just slash
Speaker 3: his tires and offer to give him a ride. Oh,
Speaker 3: tire slashing is one of the pillars of a strong,
Speaker 3: healthy relationship, as long as he doesn't find out you're
Speaker 3: the one doing it.
Speaker 1: If you have a shared bank account, that's really not wise.
Speaker 3: Brook Your husband's cars are constantly in trouble, and you're
Speaker 3: saying you're not the one behind it. That's if you
Speaker 3: could spend more time with him.
Speaker 1: That's just because I like to run the tires right
Speaker 1: up against the curve.
Speaker 3: That's right, our listener, Julia didn't go that far as
Speaker 3: to slash her husband's tires, so you're disappointed. But she
Speaker 3: did give him a ride recently and apparently found out
Speaker 3: something very interesting, so interesting, she needs our help, So Julia,
Speaker 3: welcome to the show.
Speaker 2: Hi, Thanks guys.
Speaker 1: How long are you even married?
Speaker 2: Julia?
Speaker 4: Three years?
Speaker 3: Okay, tell us what's going on? Why'd you email us?
Speaker 4: Well, I'm not really sure what's going on. I witnessed something,
Speaker 4: but I don't know fully what I saw or if
Speaker 4: I'm gempt conclusion it.
Speaker 3: Okay, I totally love this.
Speaker 1: You sound so sweet. It sounds like you're not upset,
Speaker 1: like I can't tell.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm worried, but I'm also just trying to be rational.
Speaker 4: I'm trying to not be like super reactionary, but I'm
Speaker 4: I'm freaking out a little.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: Okay, that was the voice that I didn't And.
Speaker 3: You're freaking out with something involving your husband. What's his name?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Okay, so his name is Harry and a couple of
Speaker 4: weeks ago, I took him to his hair appointment. We
Speaker 4: normally have we have supper cars, so normally I wouldn't
Speaker 4: do that sort of thing. But his is in the shop, okay.
Speaker 4: I offered to drive him because I saw it was
Speaker 4: on our calendar, and he was like, nah, I'll just
Speaker 4: take an uber.
Speaker 1: I mean that would throw up a little bit of
Speaker 1: a red flag for me, But did you agree to
Speaker 1: let you drive him?
Speaker 4: He did, and when we got there, he was like,
Speaker 4: we had a big hurry to get out of the car,
Speaker 4: and I was like, no, I'm gonna go in with you.
Speaker 4: I'm going to check and see if they have the
Speaker 4: hairspray that I use. Okay, He's like, no, no, no,
Speaker 4: you're playing your just let think you have an hour, because.
Speaker 1: He like it's like an embarrassed junior high, you know,
Speaker 1: not wanting his mom to.
Speaker 3: He says, that is what it was like, Okay, objectively
Speaker 3: a little strange.
Speaker 4: So I'm go in with him and I'm looking and
Speaker 4: then call his name and then the stylist comes out,
Speaker 4: and of course she is a gorgeous girl. I mean
Speaker 4: she's just absolutely beautiful.
Speaker 1: I mean, isn't it a requirement to become a one
Speaker 1: that isn't drop dead beautiful.
Speaker 3: That's what she wanted. Would feel good to have somebody
Speaker 3: who's really really beautiful styling you. You don't want like
Speaker 3: rumpel Stills coming in bigger than mine.
Speaker 4: She's like, I don't do my own.
Speaker 3: Like a tree troll comes from the back, So I don't.
Speaker 3: I would think it's it's okay.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's normal, it's common. Ye Does that
Speaker 1: make you feel like a certain way?
Speaker 4: Well, it was just very obvious that this is not
Speaker 4: the first time he's seen her, and they seem very
Speaker 4: friendly and familiar with each other. Well, I mean it's
Speaker 4: a hairstylist.
Speaker 2: They're friendly.
Speaker 4: There's more. So as soon as she showed up, he
Speaker 4: was like, all right, you probably gotta get go in.
Speaker 4: She's like, you liter really chewing me out of the door. Yeah.
Speaker 4: And so then there's this petition, you know, like you
Speaker 4: can come into the place and there's a reception desk
Speaker 4: and then a petition, and then on the other side
Speaker 4: is where all the chairs and all that guys. I
Speaker 4: walk around the petition and I opened the door and
Speaker 4: I didn't go out. I just closed the door, like
Speaker 4: made it sound like I left out there for a
Speaker 4: minute behind the petition and.
Speaker 3: Listen, what'd you hear?
Speaker 4: And they were just laughing and giggling and flirting, and
Speaker 4: he was laughing like a moron. It everything she was saying,
Speaker 4: and then she's ving with him, and then she starts
Speaker 4: complimenting and like, oh, your hair feels so good. You've
Speaker 4: been doing so good and taking care of it.
Speaker 3: Not to defend what they're doing at all, but sometimes
Speaker 3: stylists will be extra friendly and extra nice in order
Speaker 3: to get a better tip.
Speaker 1: That still doesn't like dismiss her husband's flirting back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that doesn't.
Speaker 4: It's weird behavior. I don't know. Like I understand maybe
Speaker 4: you have a little bit of a crush and there's
Speaker 4: nothing wrong with that, but she has been trying to
Speaker 4: get rid of me and not want me to come in.
Speaker 4: I just feel like that behavior.
Speaker 3: Is kind of fun. It would have been nicer if
Speaker 3: he had been like, hey, don't say nice things about me.
Speaker 3: I'm married, Okay, doesn't cut my hair and shut up.
Speaker 1: No. But like normally, like a stylist relationship, that's the
Speaker 1: first thing you talk about is your significant other. It's
Speaker 1: at first thing that comes out so that's not a
Speaker 1: good sign that that's not what they were talking about
Speaker 1: to me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just I've been thinking about it's been a
Speaker 4: couple of weeks, and it's just like I can't get
Speaker 4: it out of my mind. I don't know how to
Speaker 4: bring it up to him because I don't want to
Speaker 4: come across as super jealous or defensive. But it's really
Speaker 4: starting to eat at me and I'm kind of getting
Speaker 4: scared about it.
Speaker 3: You obviously haven't told him that you heard stuff or
Speaker 3: you were there.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, that she was sneaking around there and listening.
Speaker 3: Is you should know before we help.
Speaker 6: It's a good point.
Speaker 4: No, I did not. I did not tell him that
Speaker 4: I stayed and heard them flirting.
Speaker 3: This is what we're doing. Have you booked an appointment
Speaker 3: with that stylist, Just see if she's equally flirty and
Speaker 3: touchy with you.
Speaker 6: Just talk about your husband the whole appointment.
Speaker 4: I could just book with her and then tell her like,
Speaker 4: some really bad hygiene habit did he have.
Speaker 3: But that's going to be step two in this process.
Speaker 3: Step one is getting our advice in a few minutes
Speaker 3: here before we let you make an awkward Tuesday phone
Speaker 3: call to your husband to ask what is going on
Speaker 3: between him and the hairstylist.
Speaker 6: Oh my god, is he just gonna tell you?
Speaker 1: It just seems crazy.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know. I mean, book that all
Speaker 3: depends on your advice and if it's actually good for once.
Speaker 1: I just hope it's some innocent flirting that we're blowing
Speaker 1: out of proportion. I mean, honestly, that's best case scenario.
Speaker 3: We'll find out when we call him and do your
Speaker 3: awkward Tuesday phone call right after this. It's awkward, it's Tuesday.
Speaker 3: It's awkward Tuesday phone call. After you get married? Is
Speaker 3: there anybody that you are still allowed to flirt with?
Speaker 3: Brooke wanted me to ask that question. I'm not why,
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a difference so between innocent flirting, like
Speaker 1: flirting with a cash registered lady, or like there's something
Speaker 1: else going on.
Speaker 3: Would you get mad if you caught your husband flirting
Speaker 3: with your Alexa?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, he has called her pretty?
Speaker 3: The realization setting in some people may be okay. Definitely
Speaker 3: not with your hairstylist though, that needs to be off limits, and.
Speaker 1: Especially when he's shoeing her out the door. As soon
Speaker 1: as she yes, he gets there exactly.
Speaker 3: So you see your hairstylist a lot. Yeah, and that's
Speaker 3: why our listener, Julia has reached out because she caught
Speaker 3: her husband flirting and laughing with the pretty woman cutting
Speaker 3: his hair. Sent up some red flags first, so she
Speaker 3: wants to confront him about it, but doesn't want to
Speaker 3: get too weird and defensive. So before we call Harry Jose,
Speaker 3: what's your advice for her? I feel like the way
Speaker 3: to disarm him is to give the stylist a compliment.
Speaker 4: First, you guys are talking and you're like, by the way,
Speaker 4: your barber is super cute, honey.
Speaker 3: I mean if I was you, I wouldn't have even
Speaker 3: came home. Oh all right, okay, then you just gauge
Speaker 3: his reaction. What do you think, Julia, are you able
Speaker 3: to give the hairstylist a compliment?
Speaker 4: I'm just trying to figure out, like how I would
Speaker 4: have to work it into the conversation since it was
Speaker 4: like two weeks to go.
Speaker 6: Do you think see that's the way?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 1: Because the thing is is if you accuse him, it's just.
Speaker 2: Not gonna go. Well.
Speaker 1: I think you say, oh my god, it's been bugging
Speaker 1: me for two weeks. Your hairstylist looks so familiar and
Speaker 1: I couldn't place it, and I remember I.
Speaker 3: Know her whoa Where do you know her from?
Speaker 6: Could be anywhere?
Speaker 3: We're in a book club, we do lie together. Do
Speaker 3: you guys have kids yet?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: You could name anything honestly, because if he freaks out
Speaker 1: that you have a connection to her, that's not a
Speaker 1: good side.
Speaker 3: Brook does have the best lies to her significant if
Speaker 3: anybody that I know, she knows how to twist the truth.
Speaker 3: Is that helpful to you? Julia? Are you comfortable lying
Speaker 3: to your husband right now?
Speaker 4: But what if it's perfectly normal? Then he's like, wants
Speaker 4: to know where I know her from and tries to
Speaker 4: follow through on that.
Speaker 6: But it's good if it's perfect normal. I mean, sure,
Speaker 6: you look like kind of a controlling.
Speaker 3: Jealousy woman. Were confused?
Speaker 2: You All you have to.
Speaker 1: Do is tell the man you're just so hot it's
Speaker 1: hard for me to imagine.
Speaker 3: Want Well, Julie, that's our best advice for you. Take
Speaker 3: whatever you want from it. But I'm dialing your husband,
Speaker 3: Harry right now. I'm gonna let you make your awkward
Speaker 3: Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 2: Okay, Hello, say babe, bang, how are you doing?
Speaker 5: Good, good, good. I didn't reconize the number. What do
Speaker 5: you call it?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Sorry, No, I'm just I'm at work and I
Speaker 4: just had a question for you. I've been thinking about
Speaker 4: it and it just keeps slipping my mind, so I
Speaker 4: wanted to run it by while it was in my head.
Speaker 5: Oh good, go ahead.
Speaker 4: Yeah. So, a couple of weeks ago, when I took
Speaker 4: you to the salon to get your hair cut, your
Speaker 4: stilist was so she was so nice, like she seemed
Speaker 4: really really outgoing and personal, and I'm looking for a
Speaker 4: new stilust and so I was kind of curious if
Speaker 4: you know, if she's taking new clients.
Speaker 5: Okay, why don't you already have a silence?
Speaker 4: Well, you know, the last couple of times that I
Speaker 4: was with Jasmine, I don't know. I just felt like
Speaker 4: she kind of dried my hair a lot about the
Speaker 4: color and talked to her about it, and she kind
Speaker 4: of got annoyed at me, and it's so weird, and
Speaker 4: so I didn't know if maybe you'd want to give
Speaker 4: me a referral.
Speaker 7: Uh, yeah, you know, I think I don't. I think
Speaker 7: she mentioned she's like totally booked up, Like I barely
Speaker 7: get into that so like, I don't know, i'd have
Speaker 7: to talk to her.
Speaker 5: It might be a stretch to get you in, to be.
Speaker 4: Honest with you. Cool, Okay, Well that brings up another
Speaker 4: point that I guess I need to get to. When
Speaker 4: I dropped you off, I didn't actually leave the salon.
Speaker 4: I just kind of like opened the door, and then
Speaker 4: I like stayed and hung out and I heard I
Speaker 4: heard the two of you talking, and it was a
Speaker 4: lot flirting and giggling.
Speaker 5: And you say, I thought you said you were going
Speaker 5: to get groceries.
Speaker 4: I did.
Speaker 5: I did, you were going to get the macaee. I did,
Speaker 5: But you.
Speaker 4: Were acting with her like you didn't want me to
Speaker 4: drop you off, and then you didn't want me to
Speaker 4: come in, and then when she came up, you were
Speaker 4: like trying to shoot me out the door, and I
Speaker 4: was just really.
Speaker 5: Well, I just know you were busy. I just know
Speaker 5: you're really busy. I don't want you to stress out.
Speaker 4: That's not what it felt like. It really felt like
Speaker 4: you were trying to get rid of me and like
Speaker 4: you didn't want me there, and that just flow up
Speaker 4: the red flags, and so I felt like I needed
Speaker 4: to stay and just see what was going on, and
Speaker 4: I mean, there's some going on. Is there something that
Speaker 4: you need to tell me? No, I mean what you
Speaker 4: hear I could hear you laughing. I mean she would
Speaker 4: say something and you were like, Oh, you're so funny.
Speaker 4: I mean it was like it was weird. It's not
Speaker 4: the way you laugh when we talk. I just I've
Speaker 4: never heard it, and it's just I don't know. It
Speaker 4: was just a weird energy. And she was so flirty
Speaker 4: and so okay.
Speaker 5: But I got a coin session.
Speaker 7: I didn't. I wanted to keep it for you. But
Speaker 7: I'm trying to get this temperature discount from her. And
Speaker 7: the only way is that if she thinks like I'm
Speaker 7: into her, so, but it's really for you, it's really
Speaker 7: for us.
Speaker 4: Wait what how how does that work?
Speaker 5: Well, you know, I just tell her I'm single, because
Speaker 5: so she thinks that she has a reason to give
Speaker 5: me the discount. That's it.
Speaker 4: So she just gives discounts to single guys that she likes.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Wait, so how did she even believe that you're single? Though?
Speaker 4: Because I walked in with you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean she asked about you and everything, but
Speaker 5: I just told her you and my aunt.
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 5: Oh god, who are those people. What's going on?
Speaker 3: Oh my god, am I being punk?
Speaker 1: You're with an idiot?
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, hey, Harry Man, tell me. I need to
Speaker 3: let you know that. You're on the radio right now
Speaker 3: with a show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 3: This is called awkward Tuesday phone call. God, Julia listens
Speaker 3: to us and asks for help today because she saw
Speaker 3: that interaction between you and your hairstylist, which she.
Speaker 1: Obviously read right. You were flirting with.
Speaker 3: Her, but not it's not genuine flirting.
Speaker 1: No discounts for single hot guys, that doesn't exist.
Speaker 3: I don't know I could get behind that. What's this
Speaker 3: hairstylist place that you go to, Harry, because I could
Speaker 3: lay that on.
Speaker 5: I'll tell you later. We'll get off the phone.
Speaker 3: Okay, you believe him, Jeff It doesn't really matter what
Speaker 3: I believe. It's what Julia. This is her marriage.
Speaker 1: Do you believe him a ten percent hot guy discount?
Speaker 4: I do believe him. He's not. It's not a liar.
Speaker 4: He doesn't lie to me. I mean, I think I
Speaker 4: think he's very truthful. I just I think it's stupid
Speaker 4: and I think it's really acessive.
Speaker 1: Wait, stupid on his part, or stupid on the hairstylist part.
Speaker 3: It is about business choice for her.
Speaker 7: Like I said before, this is a discount that I'm
Speaker 7: getting for you or I look, I admit I probably
Speaker 7: should have told you about it.
Speaker 5: That's my fault.
Speaker 7: Okay, I promise I'm not up to anything fullish or
Speaker 7: or adultery ish or anything like that.
Speaker 3: Okay, ish you have no romantic interest in actually getting
Speaker 3: together with the style?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 3: No, you would rather just pay the ten percent stopper?
Speaker 5: No, no, absolutely not. The economy is.
Speaker 3: Harry, your wife is clearly uncomfortable with this interaction, no
Speaker 3: matter how much money it saves. She doesn't like it. So, Julia,
Speaker 3: what would you like to see Harry do going forward?
Speaker 1: I mean that was that was almost marriage counselor is
Speaker 1: that It's.
Speaker 3: Kind of like, what do you want from him at
Speaker 3: this point?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 4: I would say, at the very least it to be
Speaker 4: honest with her.
Speaker 3: You don't want him to switch stylists. You're cool with
Speaker 3: him still going there.
Speaker 4: I'm just down the dishonesty and like where that leads.
Speaker 4: I mean, how would you feel if I wore a
Speaker 4: mini skirt to the dentist to try to get a discount.
Speaker 1: I actually believe a dentis giving discounts.
Speaker 6: Those guys are.
Speaker 3: I don't need any more laughing gays anyway, Harry, are
Speaker 3: you comfortable? Are you able to change ever so slightly
Speaker 3: to make your wife happy?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 7: I will.
Speaker 5: I will definitely accommodate it, Harry.
Speaker 3: Women can change a man. I didn't realize that. Look
Speaker 3: at us.
Speaker 6: So he's changing Julie all right, by the way, was
Speaker 6: so talking about that?
Speaker 3: All right? Well, you know what, I think we're in
Speaker 3: a better place now than when we started this phone call.
Speaker 3: Good luck to you too. Your marriage sounds perfect.
Speaker 4: Thank you all.
Speaker 3: Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
