Speaker 1: Quickly becoming the favorite day of the week, the awkward
Speaker 1: Tuesday phone cod.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a highlight.

Speaker 1: all sorts of different relationships. Maybe co workers, it could be,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, spouses.

Speaker 1: Welcome to the Brook and Jeffrey Second Date Podcast.
Speaker 4: Today is a classic, but we've got a new comment
Speaker 4: to read.
Speaker 5: Yes, so Tia said, I'm all the way from South Africa.
Speaker 3: The one thing I realized is that y'all do your
Speaker 3: job better when you're criticized.
Speaker 5: So here we go.
Speaker 3: Out of plus or minus three thousand, five hundred phone
Speaker 3: taps and second dates, I only saved sixty five phone.
Speaker 5: Taps and forty four second dates. So come on, y'all
Speaker 5: could do way better than that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, all right, we're gonna work.
Speaker 4: On forty five save for this year.
Speaker 5: That's our goal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I hope we can track her phone and
Speaker 2: be like, yes, she saved.
Speaker 5: Challenge accepted.
Speaker 4: All right, awkward starts right now.
Speaker 6: Snooping through your significant other stuff that is almost always
Speaker 6: gonna lead to finding bad things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, come on, if you got a snoop, you probably
Speaker 2: you probably got something going.
Speaker 6: Like when Brooke went through her husband's box of chains
Speaker 6: and restraints and she found Michael's old love letters to
Speaker 6: Jason raz I wish that was a lie. So weird
Speaker 6: conversation they had to have that man was.
Speaker 2: Like, what what?
Speaker 6: But what if by some miracle you snooped and actually
Speaker 6: found something good? Because one of our listeners says she
Speaker 6: just moved in with her fiance and what she found
Speaker 6: buried in his attic wasn't just good, it was incredible
Speaker 6: and he had no idea it was even there.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 6: Now she needs our advice on how to deliver the
Speaker 6: news to him. You're gonna hear what the big discovery
Speaker 6: was in your brand new awkward Tuesday phone call? Next,
Speaker 6: it's awkward, it's Tuesday.
Speaker 2: It's awkward Tuesday phone call? Did we just become best friends?
Speaker 6: Moving in together for the very first time can be
Speaker 6: so exciting and special, especially if it's with your significant other.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I hope you're more than best friends.
Speaker 6: Jeff can be more than best friends? Yeah, okay, but
Speaker 6: it's exciting because you're figuring out you know, who gets
Speaker 6: what side of the closet, or in Brooks case, who
Speaker 6: cleans what side of the toilet bowl? O Michael, that's
Speaker 6: my side, that's right, Okay, now, Spongebie, okay, made it
Speaker 6: weird for some to.
Speaker 7: Be disgusted by that aside.
Speaker 6: I'm excited to speak with Listen today because she's moving
Speaker 6: in with her boyfriend of two years and they just
Speaker 6: got engaged in congratulations.
Speaker 4: Yay, thank you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, side of the toilet bowls your side?
Speaker 4: Pick left? Pick left, I swear.
Speaker 6: So you guys have a big move. Is it happening
Speaker 6: right now or what's going on?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Yeah, we're we've been together for two years. You know,
Speaker 9: he proposed and then we're like, okay, now we're going
Speaker 9: to move in together.
Speaker 4: And there's so matter of fact about it.
Speaker 9: Well yeah, I mean, you know, it's it's like I've
Speaker 9: lived people before, never gotten engaged, so to do it
Speaker 9: and now start moving in together is like a different
Speaker 9: kind of chapter for me. So navigating it is a
Speaker 9: little weird.
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, what's weird about it?
Speaker 9: It's like we're not getting a new place. I'm moving
Speaker 9: into his already place. So it's his territory, his turf. Yeah,
Speaker 9: so it's going, well, I'm moving my stuff and everything.
Speaker 9: And I was in the attic and there's stuff that, like,
Speaker 9: you know, his grandparents have passed on and stuff, so
Speaker 9: you know, he's had his grandparents boxes up there, and
Speaker 9: so you know, I'm honest, I'm just going through everything,
Speaker 9: you know.
Speaker 4: Okay, and so are you just college to complain about
Speaker 4: what a clutterbuggy is?
Speaker 9: Like sound kind of overwhelmed, Oh, innocently going through everything, okay.
Speaker 9: And I find his grandfather's stuff. I asked him, I said,
Speaker 9: do you know what's in your grandfather's boxes? He goes,
Speaker 9: I don't know what that is.
Speaker 10: You know, it's just boxes I still have.
Speaker 4: So I was like, okay, threw them away to the fire.
Speaker 9: Well, there might be stuff that we could use, you know,
Speaker 9: if he's got some like good spatulas or frying pans,
Speaker 9: and I'm gonna bring him.
Speaker 4: Down on totally absolutely anymore nice silver, yes, oho asbestos.
Speaker 9: So I found some smaller boxes with like keepstak all
Speaker 9: that kind of stuff and jewelry and stuff like that.
Speaker 10: But I found a box of coins coin.
Speaker 2: Those could be worth a lot, they can exactly.
Speaker 9: I take these coins and I'm like, wow, these are
Speaker 9: dated like eighteen hundred's kind of stuff. Oh whoa, yeah,
Speaker 9: so I take these coins in to get him afraid, right.
Speaker 4: And your boy and your fiance sorry knows you're doing this.
Speaker 9: No, he knows that I was in the boxes though,
Speaker 9: but he doesn't know that I just decided to on
Speaker 9: my own go check out how much he's are worth.
Speaker 7: Okay, I wouldn't say oh, because if it's if they're
Speaker 7: not worth anything, then he'll never know.
Speaker 9: He's kind of.
Speaker 4: Weird not to tell him.
Speaker 9: But okay, well, yet here we out.
Speaker 10: I do that.
Speaker 9: We're looking at six figures.
Speaker 2: Oh, you're down.
Speaker 9: Way more than one hundred thousand, my guy.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, one thousand.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Jose almost tells you my husband's name.
Speaker 2: Yeah. When she gets match, heels back.
Speaker 6: So you're you're still not going to tell him about that?
Speaker 9: Then, well, I'm obviously going to tell him. I don't
Speaker 9: want him to think that like I was money grubbing
Speaker 9: or like nuping in a weird way. I mean, we've
Speaker 9: never lived together, and I've already found like a crap
Speaker 9: ton of money all of a sudden, I'm going to
Speaker 9: tell you.
Speaker 4: If my like my significant others said, it took your
Speaker 4: stuff to get in a praise without telling you. I
Speaker 4: have some trust things.
Speaker 9: Really exactly, that's I'm afraid of.
Speaker 6: But it's like, could you really even use that type
Speaker 6: of money for anything.
Speaker 4: That you just have a wedding coming out?
Speaker 6: Even what do you want to do with it?
Speaker 9: So he's been really stressed about like graduate school paying
Speaker 9: for it and everything, and I'm just like, oh my god,
Speaker 9: this is like finally our solution for that.
Speaker 6: Oh sorry, I need to go to graduate school anymore.
Speaker 6: And now you're rich.
Speaker 2: I didn't go to college. Look at me. Oh wait,
Speaker 2: you can't see me.
Speaker 4: I'm the message.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 9: It's like I wanted to be like a really nice
Speaker 9: surprise for him, but I don't want it to then
Speaker 9: be like, wait, why were you and my stuff?
Speaker 2: He might be so excited he won't care. I know, man,
Speaker 2: I think now it's it's it's funny.
Speaker 7: This would have been better if they were worth nothing,
Speaker 7: because then he'd be like, oh cool, an extra ten dollars, honey, great,
Speaker 7: thank you. But now that it's worth figures plus, it
Speaker 7: looks like you were conniving and kind of mind.
Speaker 4: This back no, because she's coming to it with I mean,
Speaker 4: she's coming to him and she's going to spend the
Speaker 4: money on stuff he needs.
Speaker 9: I guess I'm not taking it and running. I'm giving
Speaker 9: it to him. I'm telling him that it's worth I'm
Speaker 9: not going to just like be like okay, never mind'
Speaker 9: his engagement running away with all this cash.
Speaker 4: Yeah, totally.
Speaker 6: And they did have a conversation about the boxes before.
Speaker 6: He just kind of brushed her off, didn't know what
Speaker 6: was in there. So this is going to be a
Speaker 6: surprise for him.
Speaker 5: This is going to be fun.
Speaker 4: This is actually going to be a fun awkward Tuesday.
Speaker 2: Why this is even awkward? Then this is going to
Speaker 2: be great, though.
Speaker 6: I guess the part that's awkward is like, hey, I
Speaker 6: went and took stuff from your attic without teleweion.
Speaker 2: You already knew you were going through your lives.
Speaker 9: But do you think you don't think that he's going
Speaker 9: to think that I was like money, Like I was
Speaker 9: like searching for stuff to find money for.
Speaker 6: Oh for sure, for sure he's going to think that.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, that's what I was trying to say. But
Speaker 2: he said it's going to be fine.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we'll figure out a way for it to be
Speaker 6: fine as long as you don't get any advice from Brooke,
Speaker 6: so we'll come back. So long advice from jose and
Speaker 6: let you make your awkward two to your to tell
Speaker 6: him you found a stash of old coins worth six
Speaker 6: figures up in his as. We're gonna do it right
Speaker 6: after this. Hold on, it's awkward.
Speaker 2: It's Tuesday.
Speaker 6: It's awkward Tuesday phone call. We've done proposals on this
Speaker 6: segment before, we've done gender reveals things that aren't necessarily awkward, bad,
Speaker 6: but awkward exciting. Yeah, because we get to sit on
Speaker 6: on a nice little private moment with a couple.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I just don't remember ever doing one where somebody said, hey,
Speaker 6: I went through your grandpa's stuff in the attic and
Speaker 6: now we're rich.
Speaker 4: Still sound good to me, Jeff.
Speaker 6: On top of that, there's actually a couple of good
Speaker 6: uses that could come out of it because they have
Speaker 6: a big wedding coming up. He wants to go to
Speaker 6: grad school and isn't sure how he's going to pay
Speaker 6: for it.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, it's like prayers answer.
Speaker 6: All this positivity happened. The only thing that could possibly
Speaker 6: mess this up is Brooke and some horrible advice.
Speaker 4: Oh wait, at delivering an amazing advice, like amazing news.
Speaker 6: It sounds like it wants to surprise her fiance on
Speaker 6: our show with this news. Let's start with some great
Speaker 6: a advice from our own jose Bolanos.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you just said you're worried. You're gonna look
Speaker 2: suss because you went through all of his stuff.
Speaker 7: But if you're excited and you're positive, all you gotta
Speaker 7: do is just.
Speaker 2: Say you're rich and you helped him get there. Emphasize
Speaker 2: that you helped him become rich. He's gonna be so happy.
Speaker 2: He's that worry in your head is gonna go away.
Speaker 4: Emphasizing that she's the one that got in there's gonna
Speaker 4: make her sound like your money.
Speaker 6: Okay, Brooke is already coming in with a sour attitude.
Speaker 4: She should take credit for something her grandpa built for him.
Speaker 4: You know, like I think you just go in and
Speaker 4: you say, hey, every conversation, I took some of your
Speaker 4: grandpa's things to get him a praise without telling you
Speaker 4: because I didn't want you to get your hopes up
Speaker 4: that it was worth something. But I have fantastic news. Yeah, Stress,
Speaker 4: it's like the lottery of grandparents. Old crap.
Speaker 9: Yeah, but we're not even married yet, and because I'm
Speaker 9: afraid of him thinking, oh my god, sorry, you're stressed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's okay, you're engaged.
Speaker 4: Before you found the money, I.
Speaker 9: Could have I could have run with it. I could
Speaker 9: have taken it all and run.
Speaker 10: And I didn't do that.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't say that.
Speaker 6: I would say that I would.
Speaker 5: Why is it even a thought that's crossing your mind?
Speaker 6: It shows that you're a good person.
Speaker 4: Can you imagine, like, well, I meant this really hot guy.
Speaker 4: I had the option of sleeping with him, but I
Speaker 4: didn't decision.
Speaker 6: All right, Well, hopefully that helps you. We're gonna back
Speaker 6: away and let you call your fiance and tell them
Speaker 6: what you found in the attic. Okay, are you ready? Okay,
Speaker 6: it kind of sounds like a horror movie what you
Speaker 6: found waiting up in the attic for you. No, that
Speaker 6: didn't help. Okay, she's not gonna all right. See, it
Speaker 6: couldn't probably go worse than that, So let's do it.

Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, awkward.
Speaker 2: Your mind went right to a pre nup.
Speaker 11: Huh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, why her.
Speaker 4: Mind went to spending it on your your grad school
Speaker 4: bill and the wedding for both of you.
Speaker 6: And I can't imagine how Allison must be feeling right now, Alison,
Speaker 6: are you okay?
Speaker 9: Yeah? No, I guess I'm also kind of in shock
Speaker 9: that that's his reaction. I thought he'd be more elated
Speaker 9: than that.
Speaker 2: I think he is elated, so elated he wants to
Speaker 2: keep it to himself.
Speaker 4: Is that something you'd already been thinking about?
Speaker 8: No, I don't know.
Speaker 11: I just don't know how this stuff usually works.
Speaker 4: So you're not money, it doesn't I mean, it sounds
Speaker 4: like you'll spend it right on grad school and stuff.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, in.
Speaker 6: A prenup, lawyer, maybe he doesn't need grad school anymore,
Speaker 6: he's already rich.
Speaker 2: Is he going to use grad school for?
Speaker 11: Wait? Allison? Then uh? Are your parents not paying for
Speaker 11: the wedding? Then are we paying for it?
Speaker 6: Where can we save money? You want to decide up
Speaker 6: and you want to pay for the money, which.
Speaker 11: Is I'm just saying before your parents were going to
Speaker 11: pay for the wedding, and so are we now paying
Speaker 11: for the wedding because of the corn?
Speaker 9: Well no, baby, of course, of course they're so willing
Speaker 9: to pay for the wedding that they were going to
Speaker 9: pay for. I'm just saying we could do some upgrades
Speaker 9: or something like honeymoon stuff. We could use the money
Speaker 9: for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Wow, this is not how I expected this to.
Speaker 4: Okay, Allison, I think that you are being real kind
Speaker 4: about this. You're engaged. You guys are together now, everything
Speaker 4: that is his is yours, yours.
Speaker 9: True?
Speaker 11: Yeah, No, I mean, like I get that we're together,
Speaker 11: and but I mean just from a legal standpoint, and
Speaker 11: I don't know how this all works. But it's my money.
Speaker 11: I mean, of course I want to share it, like
Speaker 11: some of it, some of it.
Speaker 7: The first thing you asked was should I go buy
Speaker 7: groceries if you don't want to.
Speaker 2: Spend any money.
Speaker 9: No, I'm not trying to take any of it back.
Speaker 9: I just thought that this might be something nice for
Speaker 9: you and I to like have a little bit.
Speaker 6: Of Yeah, Allison isn't asking for any of it, Zach.
Speaker 11: No, it's a really cool surprise.
Speaker 2: Oh, lad with Actually that's been the first thing out
Speaker 2: of your mouth.
Speaker 6: How did this call turn out more awkward than any
Speaker 6: of our other awkward calls? If you've ever done I
Speaker 6: feel right now?
Speaker 10: Yeah, maybe maybe we should take this.
Speaker 9: We should follow us up at home back, I don't
Speaker 9: I don't know.
Speaker 7: Unless you disagree, it'sign the premium now, then there's something
Speaker 7: to talk about.
Speaker 4: Okay, there's going to be some conversations.
Speaker 6: Yeah, way to end this appropriately.
Speaker 2: It's awkward, all right, Good luck guys.
Speaker 6: Do you want to send some money over to the
Speaker 6: radio station two for some renovations over here?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we would love it.
Speaker 6: Crickets.
Speaker 4: And the biggest question out of that is did the
Speaker 4: wedding happen?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 5: Seriously, And we don't have the answer for you. Sorry.
Speaker 4: I thought for sure we'd get an update from this couple. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but we didn't. So I don't know if that means
Speaker 4: that that they broke.
Speaker 3: Up, or they worked it out and they don't want
Speaker 3: to come to us because they know we'll be like seriously.
Speaker 1: Or that girl's too ashamed to admit that the wedding
Speaker 1: did happen because she read through the comments, nobody wanted
Speaker 1: them to get a.
Speaker 5: Lot of this tone.
Speaker 3: After his attitude, She should not marry that guy at all.
Speaker 3: He seems more concerned for his money rather than her.
Speaker 3: He doesn't sound like someone who should be going.
Speaker 5: To grab school.
Speaker 3: Someone else said, someone said, what's wrong with the prenup,
Speaker 3: and then responded to by someone who said, I think
Speaker 3: the problem isn't necessarily the prenup, it's the fact it's
Speaker 3: the first thing that came.
Speaker 5: To his mind.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna say it's yeah.
Speaker 7: I mean Brenhams are okay, every couple can talk about it,
Speaker 7: but like that's.
Speaker 5: Your Yeah, I kind of like this one. She should
Speaker 5: have kept a couple of coins since he doesn't know
Speaker 5: what was in there anyways, Well, you never know, you
Speaker 5: never know what is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe she's off on her own island somewhere on
Speaker 3: a yacht.
Speaker 4: Maybe that's actually the update we were waiting for her.
Speaker 1: Well, if we ever get one, we will update you
Speaker 1: on this couple because it is wild. Hey, and if
Speaker 1: you ever have a really uncomfortable conversation you need to have,
Speaker 1: we'll help you. Oh yeah, okay, this is free advice here,
