Speaker 1: It's a special day on this podcast because it's Awkward Tuesday.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but don't be fooled. That is the second Date
Speaker 1: Update podcast with Brooke and Jeffrey. And I'm just going
Speaker 1: to say one of our listeners was about to empty
Speaker 1: out their entire savings account to make their big dream happen.
Speaker 1: It all started when they made one viral TikTok video
Speaker 1: and uh, anyway, it turned into a thing. And you're
Speaker 1: about to hear the thing in just a second. But
Speaker 1: let's go to comments.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Daniella said, I've been listening since I was seven
Speaker 3: and I'm twenty two now and I will never stop. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and I've always wanted to be jeff in the wild,
Speaker 3: but I don't think that'll happen, considering he hates.
Speaker 1: Going in public that long. Yeah, you could catch him
Speaker 1: at a rest stop or a grocery store. Yeah, usually
Speaker 1: his two head out. Yeah that's about it. In the woods.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll run into him somewhere out but randomly at
Speaker 1: dive bars. Yeah, he really likes a dive bar that
Speaker 1: plays karaoke. He's oh karaoke for sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So favorite those are your hot spots to find twenty two,
Speaker 1: You can go to all those places. All right, let's
Speaker 1: get your awkward Tuesday phone call started.
Speaker 4: How do you tell someone that you love that their
Speaker 4: dreams are definitely not gonna happen and you do not
Speaker 4: support them? Oh wow, bro, didn't you put that in
Speaker 4: your wedding vows somewhere?
Speaker 5: I did not.
Speaker 4: I could have sworn after your sister in law played
Speaker 4: the violin.
Speaker 1: No, she did play the violin, but I did not
Speaker 1: have that in my bounds.
Speaker 4: One of our listeners is having that very problem with
Speaker 4: her boyfriend brook. Hell, come on, he's about to empty
Speaker 4: out their entire savings account to make his big dream happen.
Speaker 4: And it all started when he made one viral TikTok video.
Speaker 4: We're gonna hear all about it and then try and
Speaker 4: convince the boyfriend to give up on his dreams in
Speaker 4: a brand new awkward Tuesday phone call. Next, It's awkward.
Speaker 1: It's Tuesday.
Speaker 4: It's awkward Tuesday phone call. We've been doing our show
Speaker 4: for a while now, Yeah, and we have a lot
Speaker 4: of people listening to us, and I think there's certain
Speaker 4: moments for each person in this room that really stand
Speaker 4: out as our most famous thing that we've done on
Speaker 4: the show. Do I have one that's not voting? Well?
Speaker 4: For you broke for like thirty years now, you can't
Speaker 4: think of one big moment.
Speaker 1: You know, it all kind of blends together after a while.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, well, like one that really stood out for
Speaker 4: me that I remember was when I did a parody
Speaker 4: song about Ikea, and IKEA headquarters in Sweden actually made
Speaker 4: all of their employees learn the song and sing it
Speaker 4: at a big company event. Yeah, did you not see
Speaker 4: that video? It was crazy, all these Swedish people sing
Speaker 4: in this American zong.
Speaker 1: No wonder I don't remember our big moments. I missed
Speaker 1: that video.
Speaker 4: Now, every time I go into ike all the workers
Speaker 4: give me side I like, that's the guy that met us.
Speaker 4: But apparently one of our listeners, Beth has a semi
Speaker 4: famous boyfriend.
Speaker 1: Oh has he been on this show? We're all about
Speaker 1: semi famous?
Speaker 4: I don't think so. But she is having some issues
Speaker 4: with their new fame. How's it going?
Speaker 5: It's going okay?
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean I'm curious to this guy is because
Speaker 1: sometimes fame and infamy can be mixed up. Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's not famous for like a mugshot or anything.
Speaker 5: Right, No, it's not a mugshot.
Speaker 6: But yeah, my boyfriend Josh.
Speaker 5: Went viral like six months ago. Oh yeah, so basically
Speaker 5: it's got like five million views. Like this one video
Speaker 5: went crazy and it's him throwing up yogurt in the
Speaker 5: air and then catching it back in his mouth.
Speaker 4: Oh, that got five million views.
Speaker 1: Date this guy before that happened or after.
Speaker 5: No, we were dating before he went viral.
Speaker 4: But okay, so you're not just in it for the fame.
Speaker 4: Clearly you're like.
Speaker 1: Grandma, wait, do you see my boyfriend.
Speaker 2: It's funny because I'm like cringing, But then I'm also like, god,
Speaker 2: I bet he makes so much more money than I do.
Speaker 4: Now, I mean, it is kind of it's skills to
Speaker 4: be able to catch all that mouth, I guess.
Speaker 2: Okay, just going viral in general, no matter what it's about,
Speaker 2: it always leads to more opportunities.
Speaker 4: You blow your page up.
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, that chill Bonnie wants to endorse you.
Speaker 4: Is that what's happening? Is he really famous? Now?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 5: I mean the initial video was wild, and then he
Speaker 5: did a follow up one that got like, I don't know,
Speaker 5: one hundred thousand views, and he's just I think like
Speaker 5: he's more invested in it than like it's actually gonna
Speaker 5: be a thing.
Speaker 1: Okay, so he's trying to catch that fame.
Speaker 6: Yeah right the wa Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah. It's like it was like about a week after
Speaker 5: the videos came out, he started referring to himself in
Speaker 5: the third person. Oh, I'm Daddy Gert.
Speaker 1: He's got to be he's joking, right, He's not being serious.
Speaker 5: So I mean initially I'm like, Okay, he's just like
Speaker 5: playing it up. But this is like he's trying to
Speaker 5: make him solve this brand Daddy Gert, Daddy Gert. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and he's like constantly using ridiculous phrases like go girt
Speaker 5: or go home.
Speaker 6: And I pointed out that I kind of like it.
Speaker 1: Though, Yeah, but go Gert's a thing.
Speaker 4: Like that successful company.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 5: I told him about that, but he got real flustered
Speaker 5: by it. And it's just at that point I just
Speaker 5: really understood that he's taking this so seriously.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, so you calling for relationship advice because I
Speaker 1: have some thoughts.
Speaker 4: The girls are like, just break out with it. What
Speaker 4: made you reach out to us for help? Yeah?
Speaker 5: So the video caught like a lot of views in
Speaker 5: Austria and so The big thing now is he wants
Speaker 5: to go to Austria and do a live appearance and
Speaker 5: and bring merch. So basically the big problem is he
Speaker 5: wants to take fifteen thousand dollars of our life savings
Speaker 5: and just like go for this empire he's trying to build.
Speaker 1: He wants to take fifteen grand of your guys' joint
Speaker 1: money to do it.
Speaker 4: Yes, Oh you don't believe in his his Girt empire.
Speaker 4: You're not on board the Girt train.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 5: I mean I just I really need to convince him
Speaker 5: like to not do that. And it's just I'm in
Speaker 5: a hard spot because, like I don't want it to
Speaker 5: turn into a huge fight. It's definitely a bad idea.
Speaker 5: But you know, I've just been listening to him and
Speaker 5: he's like telling me all of these plans and it's
Speaker 5: just like making me very worried.
Speaker 1: Have you voiced any of your concern to Daddy Girt.
Speaker 5: I mean, I just I call my best friend and
Speaker 5: I've been to her, but with him, I haven't gone
Speaker 5: there because I just know it's not going to end well.
Speaker 6: Well.
Speaker 2: His head, he's thinking, oh yeah, well fifteen grand up front,
Speaker 2: and then once I go there, we could make thirty brand.
Speaker 4: Off of all the appearances.
Speaker 2: But if he doesn't, if it's not a hit, then
Speaker 2: you're gonna be out fifteen grand.
Speaker 4: Yeah, risk is what I'm trying.
Speaker 1: I mean, has anyone from Ostrich contacted him, like any
Speaker 1: agents or I mean it's serious like brands or something
Speaker 1: like because maybe he's right, maybe there's something over there
Speaker 1: for him.
Speaker 5: I mean he basically just tells me that he's contacted
Speaker 5: a bunch of different people and he's working on some things.
Speaker 6: But I just I don't even know what that means.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it could be anything. Sounds like you're about to
Speaker 4: be in a relationship with a famous yogurt man. Yeah someday.
Speaker 1: Well it worked out for John Stamos. What did he
Speaker 1: do he was the yogurt mascot for a while or
Speaker 1: like the Chovanni dude, Yeah, work.
Speaker 2: Marketing, hits very I mean.
Speaker 1: He was already famous, so there was that.
Speaker 4: But but she doesn't want that. Beth doesn't want Daddy
Speaker 4: Gert to I think, realize.
Speaker 1: Fame more than anything. She doesn't want Daddy Girt to take
Speaker 1: fifteen g from her bank account, lose it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're going to talk about this a little bit
Speaker 4: off the air. We'll come back, give you a little
Speaker 4: bit of advice, and we'll let you call your boyfriend
Speaker 4: Daddy Gert and try and convince him to not seize
Speaker 4: his fifteen minutes of fame and just move on go
Speaker 4: back to his normal, boring life.
Speaker 5: No, boy, Yeah, I just think that's going to be
Speaker 5: for the best.
Speaker 4: Who would have.
Speaker 2: Thought yogur would have made anyone's life more exciting?
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, we're gonna do it with the awkward
Speaker 4: Tuesday phone call. Next. It's awkward.
Speaker 1: It's Tuesday.
Speaker 4: It's awkward Tuesday phone call. Alexis I want to ask
Speaker 4: you theoretically, if you're dating a great guy. He's fun,
Speaker 4: he has a good job.
Speaker 2: This already's unrealist.
Speaker 4: He buy all the gifts that you could possibly want,
Speaker 4: and then one time he makes a video of himself
Speaker 4: tossing yogurt in the air and catching it in his
Speaker 4: and go spiral for it. Could you still support him
Speaker 4: and be with him after that? Or is that the
Speaker 4: ultimate ditch?
Speaker 1: You know? It's worse than that. Might be making his
Speaker 1: own T shirts. That's such an ick. Oh you don't
Speaker 1: like them making up a T shirt? Okay, I might
Speaker 1: do it.
Speaker 4: Over the video, crying to go viral with it. It
Speaker 4: just happened accidentally, and he's leaning in like I've decided
Speaker 4: that I'm pro girt, which also should probably go on
Speaker 4: one of his t shirts or service. I am pro girt,
Speaker 4: but sounds like a probiotic yogurt. That's not what Beth wants.
Speaker 4: No wants her boyfriend Daddy Gert to have his girt
Speaker 4: dreams die right here and now. And Brooke, do you
Speaker 4: have some advice for what she should do?
Speaker 1: You know this is hard for you because you haven't
Speaker 1: actually expressed your real feelings about this at all. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because it was fine before when it was his money.
Speaker 1: Now it's your money that he's also trying to invest
Speaker 1: in this, And that's when you need to say, listen,
Speaker 1: I've been saving your feelings, but we've crossed the line
Speaker 1: where I need to tell you how I really feel. Dude,
Speaker 1: it's her money, it's fifteen grand.
Speaker 4: Are you comfortable with that, Beth being honest with your boyfriend?
Speaker 5: You know, I feel like we're at the crossroads where
Speaker 5: it's I don't do it now, like I'm going to
Speaker 5: get sucked into this yogurt.
Speaker 6: Thanks for good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're going to be part of the Girt Empire
Speaker 1: and you don't want to be ose.
Speaker 4: What do you think Beth should do?
Speaker 2: Just tell him this, Do you really want to go
Speaker 2: to a place where there's openly rude people and dog
Speaker 2: poop everywhere? Okay, bad facts about Austria and of many
Speaker 2: things I've.
Speaker 1: Heard, Austria is one of the most beautiful countries in
Speaker 1: the world.
Speaker 4: No, Beth, can you forward him a link to bad
Speaker 4: Austrian fact.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna collect my list of negatives along with the
Speaker 5: whole spitting up yogurt.
Speaker 4: Okay, exactly, all right, we have some advice there. I'm
Speaker 4: not going to call it great advice, well, but hopefully helpful.
Speaker 4: We're gonna dial Daddy Girt right now, your boyfriend and
Speaker 4: let you have your conversation with him.
Speaker 5: You ready, Yeah, but do you mind just calling him Josh?
Speaker 6: Please?
Speaker 4: Okay, fine, Beth, this is your awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 4: So I guess we'll call him just Josh, called boring
Speaker 4: old Josh and let you make your awkward call. Here
Speaker 4: we go.
Speaker 6: You got good? Who's this?
Speaker 7: Hey?
Speaker 6: It's me, Hey, bag, so.
Speaker 5: Hey, nothing. I just wanted to know if you had
Speaker 5: a few minutes to chat.
Speaker 6: Yeah, what's going on. I've got a video to do.
Speaker 5: But oh okay, another yogurt video.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, making that moolah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm glad that you brought that up.
Speaker 6: Those videos make money now, I mean it's investment. So yeah, eventually, eventually,
Speaker 6: don't worry, baby.
Speaker 5: Wow, I just before we get into this empire, I
Speaker 5: just kind of wanted to talk about the fifteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 5: I'm just I'm not sure I'm quite comfortable spending that
Speaker 5: kind of money.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but babe, we've talked about this. This is how
Speaker 6: it works. You got to spend money to make money. Baby.
Speaker 6: I'm not just an artist. I'm also an entrepreneur. So
Speaker 6: if you want to get to girt Topia, you got
Speaker 6: to pay the toll.
Speaker 5: You feel me, Okay, okay, but that's the problem. I don't.
Speaker 5: I don't want to go there. No one wants to
Speaker 5: go to girt Topia.
Speaker 6: Okay, just hear me out. I wouldn't have to do
Speaker 6: my job anymore. Okay, you could quit your job. You
Speaker 6: can manage me. We have a lifetime supply of yogurt
Speaker 6: in the fridge from the highest bidder. There are so
Speaker 6: many like.
Speaker 5: These are all really fun dreams to have. But like,
Speaker 5: let's just be realistic for a minute here.
Speaker 6: Okay, hold on, I think I am being realistic because
Speaker 6: this can be huge, and I'm I know what I'm
Speaker 6: I want.
Speaker 5: I want to support you, I do. I want you
Speaker 5: to follow your dreams. But it's just so much money
Speaker 5: and I just don't think it's a good time.
Speaker 6: Okay, look, it's it's too late. So I already bought
Speaker 6: the plane tickets to Vienna. And no, no you didn't
Speaker 6: yeah two months from now, baby, No, no.
Speaker 5: No, no, you did not spend our money without asking me.
Speaker 6: No, I didn't use our money. I asked your parents

Speaker 4: We're all invested.
Speaker 6: Oh my god, what is going on right now?
Speaker 4: Well this is called an awkward Tuesday phone call. And
Speaker 4: Beth reached out to us because she wasn't sure how
Speaker 4: to have this conversation with you about not spending fifteen
Speaker 4: thousand dollars on the trip to Austria, because are you
Speaker 4: serious right now?
Speaker 5: Of course, I'm serious. It's a lot of money to

Speaker 5: like this was supposed to be a wake up call
Speaker 5: for you.
Speaker 7: I didn't want to tell you like this, But this
Speaker 7: is actually great because what's going to happen is I

Speaker 7: to go and we're gonna have so much fun, and
Speaker 7: Daddy Gert is going to spoil you rutt.
Speaker 1: No, her dad is going to spoil her rut because
