Speaker 1: All right, we got a brand new Awkward Tuesday for
Speaker 1: you today. Thanks so much for finding the Brook and
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Second Day podcast.
Speaker 2: And it is a spicy one. You think that'd be
Speaker 2: a good description of it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, God, this woman called in for advice and
Speaker 1: then she did not.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's one thing to knowledge that there's one thing
Speaker 2: to do the exact opposite. Oh my gosh. It goes
Speaker 2: sideways for yeah, and in just a second. But first
Speaker 2: we'll start with comments.
Speaker 3: Yeah, last week, if you remember, the Awkward Thursday was
Speaker 3: about like a thirty day girlfriend trial.
Speaker 1: Yeah, where he wanted to skip all of the dating
Speaker 1: and just be in a relationship for thirty days before
Speaker 1: they're even their first day.
Speaker 3: Yes, and someone named See commented, my husband and I
Speaker 3: did a trial relationship on our first time meeting. Long
Speaker 3: story short, Today we're celebrating our daughter's first birthday.
Speaker 2: I never comment, but I thought i'd share.
Speaker 4: Wow to kill.
Speaker 5: I did do the same thing once, and it was
Speaker 5: the worst relationship I've been in it last three weeks.
Speaker 2: You couldn't even do the thirty days.
Speaker 3: No way to prove the odds wrong.
Speaker 2: Some people win, some people don't. All right, let's get
Speaker 2: to today's new awkward Tuesday.
Speaker 6: Yeah, right, Now, in life, when you go to school
Speaker 6: or you get a job, sometimes it doesn't take a
Speaker 6: whole lot to misbehave and get the acts where they
Speaker 6: kick you out.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, happen all the time.
Speaker 6: But you'd think in a senior home it should be
Speaker 6: pretty difficult to get booted. Oh well, for one granny,
Speaker 6: that's actually happening, and the circumstances for why are pretty amazing.
Speaker 6: In fact, it's so out there. Her granddaughter's reaching out
Speaker 6: to us for help.
Speaker 2: She can't stay anywhere I have No, it's not Brooks.
Speaker 6: You're gonna hear what happens in a brand new awkward
Speaker 6: Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 4: Next, it's awkward.
Speaker 2: It's Tuesday.
Speaker 4: It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 6: When you first start dating somebody, they should know a little.
Speaker 7: Bit about you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And.
Speaker 6: When you move in with that somebody, they should really
Speaker 6: know a lot more about you.
Speaker 2: They're about to find out if they don't.
Speaker 7: Let's say, up, those steps have already happened.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you've actively chosen to hide something from that person,
Speaker 6: something not great, and it's about to blow up pretty soon.
Speaker 6: That's where our listener Julie is at right now in
Speaker 6: her relationship, and she is asking for our help. Julie,
Speaker 6: you want us to stop drama from happening in your
Speaker 6: life right now?
Speaker 8: Pretty much? That's why I'm calling in, Julie.
Speaker 2: Do you listen to our show because we actually really
Speaker 2: like drama.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we kind of need it for our show to
Speaker 6: be good. So this goes against our business model.
Speaker 8: I mean, you guys are probably right. There's no way
Speaker 8: that I can stop what's gonna happen. I just need
Speaker 8: a little bit of help managing it.
Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, Yeah, let's just dive into it. What's going
Speaker 6: on in your life? What made you reach out to
Speaker 6: the show for help?
Speaker 8: Okay, So I've been seeing this guy for about six months.
Speaker 8: His name is Jason. He's very sweet.
Speaker 2: Wait can I ask? Because Jeff set it up, like
Speaker 2: you live with him? After six months? Are you guys
Speaker 2: living together?
Speaker 7: That's what your email said.
Speaker 8: Yeah, things moved a little bit fast. We've been living
Speaker 8: together about a month and a half.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a big commitment. Do you guys sign a
Speaker 4: whole year lease?
Speaker 1: It's in his name, so you know, let's ruin his
Speaker 1: credit if we need to move out.
Speaker 6: Sure, So It wasn't something that you moved into a
Speaker 6: place together. You just jumped under his.
Speaker 2: Romantic Yeah I know.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I was romantic and my lease is ending,
Speaker 8: and so we took it as a sign, you know.
Speaker 6: Okay, but that's not the dramatic part that's come into
Speaker 6: your life.
Speaker 8: Yeah. So basically I haven't really told him about my
Speaker 8: family at all. My family can just be a little
Speaker 8: bit much.
Speaker 7: Trust me, I understand.
Speaker 1: What are we working with with your family? Like, why
Speaker 1: haven't you told them?
Speaker 8: Well, there's a lot of drama, but for now, I'm
Speaker 8: just going to focus on one of the singular relatives.
Speaker 9: Yeah, but I have a grandmother who is a little
Speaker 9: bit older, and it's getting to a point where basically
Speaker 9: she just needs more support from me.
Speaker 2: Okay, that doesn't sound like a bad thing, Like that's loving. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you're going to help your grandma out.
Speaker 7: I'll be honest.
Speaker 6: When you said family drama, your grandmother was not the
Speaker 6: person that came to my mind as the dramatic person.
Speaker 2: I thought you had, like a terrible mom or something
Speaker 2: like those are.
Speaker 4: Oh right, she's a terrible grandma. Is she awful person?
Speaker 8: Yeah, she's not an awful person, but she does whatever
Speaker 8: she wants to do, and you know as she got
Speaker 8: older that ever really changed. And she's about eighty five
Speaker 8: years old. Now she lives in like a senior living facility,
Speaker 8: so you don't.
Speaker 2: Even have to have her like come live with you
Speaker 2: or something. That's what I thought this was good.
Speaker 8: Yeah, well that's kind of the thing is like she's
Speaker 8: been living there for about six months and now they're
Speaker 8: they kind of like want to kick her out.
Speaker 2: You can actually get kicked out of those facility places
Speaker 2: god by being a jerk. So she's getting kicked out.
Speaker 8: I think she's getting kicked out today or probably tomorrow.
Speaker 7: She had many warnings Okay.
Speaker 8: Yeah, she's had many warnings about it.
Speaker 6: Are we allowed to know the reason why she's being
Speaker 6: forcefully discharged from her senior living facility?
Speaker 2: It sounds like reasons, Yeah, I can't.
Speaker 8: She just makes Arnold Palmers pretty much every day, and
Speaker 8: then every night she's inviting guys into her room.
Speaker 2: And lemonade.
Speaker 5: She's making them liquored up.
Speaker 8: Okay, yeah, she's piking them for sure.
Speaker 1: So she's getting drunk during the day and then getting
Speaker 1: randy at now.
Speaker 8: She's having too much fun for the senior living home,
Speaker 8: and I just I don't know how my boyfriend's going
Speaker 8: to react to this, because it's kind of like I
Speaker 8: have to take her.
Speaker 2: In, now, you take you have to take her in?
Speaker 8: Yeah, she doesn't really have any other place to go,
Speaker 8: so I think she has to come live with me
Speaker 8: and Jason in this apartment. And it's just like, I
Speaker 8: don't know, it's just really awkward, Like I don't know
Speaker 8: how he's going to react when I tell him, and
Speaker 8: we haven't really talked about like all that deep floor
Speaker 8: that you just try and avoid, you know.
Speaker 6: And it's really awkward because it's his apartment that she's
Speaker 6: going to be moving into, and they just started living
Speaker 6: together themselves. It's adding a whole new layer to the relationship.
Speaker 2: Is there another bedroom.
Speaker 8: Count he might have to get rid of his office?
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, so much?
Speaker 6: Or Grandma's climbing into the queen size bed with the
Speaker 6: two of you.
Speaker 4: I also see.
Speaker 5: Your struggle because it's not like you can just afford
Speaker 5: to buy a home whole apartment for her.
Speaker 6: It's like, OK, yeah, wow, now I see why you're
Speaker 6: in such a tough situation.
Speaker 2: You aren't paying half the rent right now?
Speaker 8: Right, I won't be when grandma moved in from.
Speaker 6: All right, Okay, yeah, yeah, that's probably a good thing
Speaker 6: to offer at the very start of the call when
Speaker 6: we do this, but we need to think of some
Speaker 6: advice for how to tell your boyfriend that you have
Speaker 6: a grandma first of all, that loves to party.
Speaker 2: Yes, and that's.
Speaker 4: Gonna be cool.
Speaker 5: That's gonna be the good part of the news.
Speaker 2: It's it's not great.
Speaker 6: To live with in action, and yeah, it's also going
Speaker 6: to be living with the two of you in the
Speaker 6: next twenty four hours.
Speaker 2: Like Arnold Palmers.
Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, yeah, I mean I think she would definitely
Speaker 8: make drinks for him. I think that could be a
Speaker 8: selling point.
Speaker 5: Okay, a drinking partner.
Speaker 6: Yeah, until she snatches them back out of his hands
Speaker 6: and drinks them herself but tries to.
Speaker 2: Hit on your boyfriend.
Speaker 8: Oh god, oh my god, I didn't even think of that.
Speaker 7: All right, we got a lot of work to do.
Speaker 6: But when we come back, we will give you our
Speaker 6: advice and let you call your boyfriend to introduce him
Speaker 6: to the new member of the family and his new
Speaker 6: roommate right after this.
Speaker 10: Thank you, guys.
Speaker 4: Hold on, it's awkward.
Speaker 2: It's Tuesday.
Speaker 4: It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 6: Someone's getting a brand new roommate and she's eighty five
Speaker 6: years old and down the clown.
Speaker 2: Yeah, grandma.
Speaker 6: I don't even know her name, and I kind of
Speaker 6: wish that she was moving into my place after what
Speaker 6: we are.
Speaker 2: It sounds like a setup for a sitcom right now.
Speaker 6: Honestly, that's how it feels, because our listener Julie reached
Speaker 6: out with quite the conundrum that she's in because on
Speaker 6: one hand, she's in a newer relationship where she just
Speaker 6: moved in with her boyfriend named Jason, what about a
Speaker 6: month ago, and.
Speaker 2: They've all been together for six months. Yeah, because there's
Speaker 2: a lot of stuff about each other that they.
Speaker 7: Do not know all that's new.
Speaker 6: And then on the other hand, Jason doesn't even know
Speaker 6: that Julie has this wild grandma and that she's gonna
Speaker 6: be living with them as soon as she gets kicked
Speaker 6: out of her retire ironman home in the next twenty
Speaker 6: four hours.
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, that's happening within a day, by the way.
Speaker 6: So how does she deliver all that information in a
Speaker 6: way that her boyfriend will be receptive to?
Speaker 4: Brook?
Speaker 7: Yeah, you're up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I think I have this for you, Julie.
Speaker 1: Honestly, I think I've got this because anybody can stomach
Speaker 1: a guest for a week.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how you pitch it.
Speaker 1: You pitch it as grandly needs a place to stay
Speaker 1: for a week, which is true.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, which is true.
Speaker 6: Okay, I just don't say how many weeks it's going
Speaker 6: to add up.
Speaker 7: What do you think about that? That's an interesting way
Speaker 7: to frame it.
Speaker 8: It sounds crazy enough that it just might work.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then you know when the week ends, you're
Speaker 1: just like, oh, shoot, she's got to say one more week,
Speaker 1: and then you just keep doing that in perpetuity until.
Speaker 5: And legally if she stays for thirty days of squatter
Speaker 5: and then can't be kicked.
Speaker 2: Out, see even better. Yeah, blame grandma.
Speaker 8: All right, I'm similar to how I moved in.
Speaker 7: So yeah, perfect does use that same thing. Jose What
Speaker 7: about you? What's your advice?
Speaker 5: I think you got to play on his emotions, stretch
Speaker 5: the truth a little bit, maybe tell him she may
Speaker 5: not have a lot of time left, just in general
Speaker 5: risky kind of true.
Speaker 4: She's eighty five.
Speaker 2: She sounds like she's in great health. Have fun at night.
Speaker 6: I wouldn't bring up the alcohol until after she's passed
Speaker 6: out on the couch one morning. Yeah yeah, yeah, then
Speaker 6: that'd be a natural way to talk about it. But
Speaker 6: I don't know, what do you think about that advice?
Speaker 10: I don't know.
Speaker 8: I'm a little superstitious, so I don't really want to
Speaker 8: summon the reaper on this one.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Oh, always risks a karma or you're gonna curse yourself
Speaker 6: and she'll be around for another fifty years.
Speaker 8: But yeah, I think I'm going to take Brooks advice,
Speaker 8: and I have an angle of my own that i'm
Speaker 8: gonna use. Oh it's going to be a surprise, but
Speaker 8: it's still gonna be pretty smooth too. I don't think
Speaker 8: he's gonna say no.
Speaker 6: Okay, I'm a little bit skeptical because nobody offers better
Speaker 6: advice than this group.
Speaker 7: But it's probably better than what we say.
Speaker 2: Jeff is never sarcastic, No, not at all.
Speaker 6: But it's your phone call. You could do it how
Speaker 6: you want to, so we'll be on your side no
Speaker 6: matter what. I'm going to die your boyfriend's number and
Speaker 6: we'll let you make this awkward call.
Speaker 7: Okay, all right, thank you, good luck.
Speaker 4: Here we go.
Speaker 10: Hello, Hey babe, it's me, heybabe, how's it going.
Speaker 8: It's good, It's good. How are you doing.
Speaker 10: I'm doing good. You call them from work or something.
Speaker 8: Ah, something like that. I'm kind of busy right now,
Speaker 8: but I just wanted to give you a call because
Speaker 8: I was thinking of you.
Speaker 10: Very cool. I'm just chilling. I can't wait for this weekend.
Speaker 10: Oh my god, I'm so excited.
Speaker 8: Yeah, this weekend is going to be awesome. But I
Speaker 8: have some news for you, and I'm not sure how
Speaker 8: you're gonna handle it.
Speaker 10: What are you talking about?
Speaker 8: Okay, so I don't know how you're gonna take this,
Speaker 8: but I'm just gonna get straight to the point. When's
Speaker 8: the last time that you changed a diaper?
Speaker 10: What a diaper? What are you talking about?
Speaker 8: I mean, okay, let's say hypothetically we had a third
Speaker 8: person enter our apartment life and they were going to
Speaker 8: be there for a very long time. That could be
Speaker 8: very exciting.
Speaker 10: Right are you saying what I think you're saying.
Speaker 8: I'm basically saying a big change is about to happen,
Speaker 8: and it's coming in the next twenty four hours.
Speaker 10: Wait a minute, twenty four hours. Did they get pregnant
Speaker 10: like a year ago?
Speaker 8: What you No, I did not get pregnant. Okay, was
Speaker 8: come straight out with it earlier. But I have a grandma.
Speaker 10: What I've never been more confused in my life.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Basically, I have a grandma and she's at an
Speaker 8: assisted living facility and she's about to get kicked out
Speaker 8: because she likes to drink and rickroll people.
Speaker 10: Whoa that?
Speaker 6: What are you?
Speaker 10: I didn't even know you had a grandma. But she's
Speaker 10: like getting kicked out of her retirement.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Listen, Apparently one of the attendants caught her multiple times.
Speaker 8: She had several men, older ones, younger ones, it didn't matter.
Speaker 8: They all came into her room, and security and the
Speaker 8: nurse staff, everybody. They've just reached a point where they're
Speaker 8: absolutely fed up and they just don't want her anymore.
Speaker 10: Wow, that is crazy. I'm sorry to hear that. But
Speaker 10: why were you saying she's like coming to our house.
Speaker 10: It's like, what do you mean.
Speaker 8: Basically, I'm hoping that you'll let her sleep in your bed?
Speaker 10: What dude, I'm not looking up with your grandma.
Speaker 4: This is really here.
Speaker 8: Oh my god, No, that's not what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Oh my God, delivered news ever again.
Speaker 7: Ever, truly your delivery.
Speaker 6: Oh my god, I.
Speaker 8: Meant that me and you, Jason, we can sleep on
Speaker 8: the couch, that she have a place to get over
Speaker 8: her hangover.
Speaker 2: Okay, what.
Speaker 10: I didn't hear anything you just said. I just heard
Speaker 10: a bunch of voices laughing, like the people on the line.
Speaker 10: What's going on?
Speaker 6: Yeah, these people are part of a radio show called
Speaker 6: Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 1: And honestly, we should have stopped Julie from talking probably
Speaker 1: three minutes ago.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Jason, I'm sorry. I just I really didn't know
Speaker 8: how to tell you, and I just figured this was
Speaker 8: the only way. Like, I didn't need help, so.
Speaker 2: To say that that is not the help we offered.
Speaker 6: No, we didn't mention anything about diaper changing at all.
Speaker 10: This is like a frank right, you're joking.
Speaker 8: No, Jason, I'm just kidding about having a baby. But
Speaker 8: my grandma's going to move in.
Speaker 10: Oh.
Speaker 8: She actually means the world to me. She's really really sweet,
Speaker 8: and I'm wondering maybe we could just have her come
Speaker 8: in for a week.
Speaker 2: Oh, now you're gonna do it.
Speaker 8: She got there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Grandma needs to live with you, Jason.
Speaker 10: I'm still like getting over the fact that thought we
Speaker 10: were having a baby, and yeah, so this.
Speaker 2: Is much better news than the baby.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Actually, I have a feeling that Grandma Judy is going
Speaker 8: to be a lot more work than a baby.
Speaker 5: But focus on that. She likes to make drinks and
Speaker 5: maybe she'll cook once in a while.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean there is the chance that she could,
Speaker 8: you know, make us drinks and cook and you know,
Speaker 8: she can hang out with your dog while you're at work.
Speaker 7: Okay, there's some positive.
Speaker 4: Now we're talking.
Speaker 8: But you need to know that at the assisted living facility,
Speaker 8: they do not let her cook. They do not let
Speaker 8: her near hot objects or sharp object.
Speaker 7: She's a liability, all right. I don't know if you're
Speaker 7: selling it very well, Julie.
Speaker 2: But Jason fainted. Are you on the phone?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Bro, are you okay? Jason?
Speaker 10: I had no idea she had a grandmother until like
Speaker 10: two minutes ago.
Speaker 1: That's why it's always risky to move in with a
Speaker 1: new girlfriend right away.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't know yet.
Speaker 7: Still, at least she's a fun grandma.
Speaker 10: Yet. I guess like she can stay for like forty
Speaker 10: eight hours. But we should probably be looking for other
Speaker 10: places like right away.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, apartments that don't have any stoves or hot objects,
Speaker 6: plug ins, anything.
Speaker 4: Around maybe yeahleases.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just get her in that for that forty eight hours,
Speaker 1: so we'll see when she leaves here from there.
Speaker 8: Jason, thank you so much. You seriously are so sweet
Speaker 8: for letting her say. I'm like, I'm seriously so grateful.
Speaker 7: Oh that's cute.
Speaker 1: And Julie did tell us that she'd pitch in for
Speaker 1: half the rent now that Grandma's moving in.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Oh, I.
Speaker 8: Was hoping you guys would forget.
Speaker 2: Come on, it's much cheaper than that nursing home. So
Speaker 2: rerook and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 6: I don't know if that whole situation is going to
Speaker 6: end up working out for all three of them, but
Speaker 6: I just can't wait for her boyfriend to come back
Speaker 6: to his apartment next week and walk in on Grandma doing.
Speaker 7: Body shots off the Jonas brothers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think Grandma has that type of pull.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I actually feel like what's going to end up happening
Speaker 1: is he's going to end up having to move out
Speaker 1: ye get food from his own place.
Speaker 6: Oh no, maybe, I mean you think she was wild
Speaker 6: at the Senior Center, there's no rules now that she's
Speaker 6: out in the wild.
Speaker 2: Who knows what's going.
Speaker 1: To go down, but also not as much access to
Speaker 1: other older gentlemen.
Speaker 6: True, I don't think she necessarily cares if they're older.
Speaker 2: We gets on a dating app.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, we could see her on TMZ on the
Speaker 6: arm of Jason Momoa next week.
Speaker 2: You're not even high for her, I know.
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, Or maybe you'll find her on our podcast
Speaker 6: wherever you get yours, we're available Apple, Spotify, just search
Speaker 6: us Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
