Speaker 1: Hey, you made it to the podcast. Welcome and we
Speaker 1: try a thing in December, Yeah, we did write what
Speaker 1: we do Alexis. We started putting awkward Tuesdays on a
Speaker 1: Sunday totally makes sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah a day, and we asked you do you like it?
Speaker 1: Do you want us to keep doing it? Overwhelmingly people
Speaker 1: commented on our Spotify page that yes, please keep doing up.
Speaker 1: Definitely keep it up. I could binge this all day,
Speaker 1: and one person even said this is pretty mid. Yes,
Speaker 1: say I love a pretty mid.
Speaker 2: Guys, jem.
Speaker 1: So listen, you're stuck with your awkward Tuesdays on Sunday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and if you want to hear a full.
Speaker 1: Hour of our show, we do a brand new show
Speaker 1: every day Monday through Friday. Just go to the Brick
Speaker 1: and Jeffrey main feed. But for now, let's make things
Speaker 1: a little weird and get awkward.
Speaker 3: They say no good deed goes unpunished. Well, one of
Speaker 3: our listeners tried a good deed to help out his
Speaker 3: old high school crush, and now he thinks he may
Speaker 3: have ruined it forever.
Speaker 2: Oh who, that's why it's Brooke and Jeffrey to the rescue.
Speaker 3: Can we swoop in and save him from the bonehead
Speaker 3: mistake he made while driving a bakery store delivery truck.
Speaker 3: Once you hear it, you'll understand why his old crush
Speaker 3: is so.
Speaker 2: Angry at him. In your brand new awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 2: Right now, it's awkward. It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 3: What I love about classic Hallmark movies is how realistic
Speaker 3: and relatable they are.
Speaker 1: Oh totally, Because.
Speaker 3: Who hasn't taken a trip to a small town and
Speaker 3: fallen in love with the hunky widower who runs the
Speaker 3: local reindeer phone.
Speaker 1: All the innkeepers I know, yeah yeah, and all the
Speaker 1: businesses going out of business, Yeah yeah, but they're all
Speaker 1: ripped too. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean, they're in touch with nature, but in between
Speaker 3: dumbbell curls, they will take a pause to connect.
Speaker 1: I can't tell you as someone from an actual small town.
Speaker 1: So many hotties.
Speaker 2: Just so realistic, relatable.
Speaker 3: We've all been there, at least in our minds, But
Speaker 3: one of our listeners has literally been there, because he
Speaker 3: describes his life as a failed Hallmark film and needs
Speaker 3: our help on finally getting his happy ending.
Speaker 2: So let's talk to Dave. Dave, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 4: Hey, Hey, how's it going, Dave?
Speaker 1: If you don't have a six pack or at least
Speaker 1: a four pack, hang up, you should make that role
Speaker 1: all I got.
Speaker 2: He's got an eight pack?
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, all right, we will accept you into our
Speaker 3: arms and try and help you out. But you mentioned
Speaker 3: that your life isn't going quite the way that you
Speaker 3: thought it was going to be going.
Speaker 2: Tell us about it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, at least in this aspect of it. Like, so,
Speaker 4: there's this girl that I used to have a crush
Speaker 4: on in high school.
Speaker 2: What's her name?
Speaker 4: Her name is Chloe, which I think is such a
Speaker 4: such a pretty name.
Speaker 2: Oh, you still have a.
Speaker 4: This was back when I was like really dorky, So
Speaker 4: I like didn't really do anything about it in high school. Okay,
Speaker 4: But then years later, like more recently, I randomly run
Speaker 4: into her on a ski trip and we hit it off.
Speaker 4: We're like racing each other down the slope.
Speaker 2: Wait, did you recognize her immediately right away?
Speaker 4: And you know, I took her a second to recognize
Speaker 4: me because I look a lot different. She was like, wait,
Speaker 4: day from high school?
Speaker 2: She remember your name too? That's good. I don't wow
Speaker 2: these names ever.
Speaker 1: So oh wow, Right, on the ski slope that is
Speaker 1: very hallmarky.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So we got to talking and it turns out she's
Speaker 4: still in our hometown and she like owns a bakery there,
Speaker 4: which is extremely charming.
Speaker 1: Oliche Oh my god, is she gonna get frosting on
Speaker 1: her face and you're gonna have to wipe it off
Speaker 1: and then kiss her? That is actually adorable.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like the perfect meet cute. You know, it's
Speaker 4: like all happening organically.
Speaker 2: Were another meetup.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I told her that I'm actually going back
Speaker 4: home to our hometown for the holidays to see my folks. Okay,
Speaker 4: so it's a couple of weeks later, I go to
Speaker 4: the bakery. She's there. It's the energy is just like before.
Speaker 4: But I asked out for dinner. She said yes, and
Speaker 4: so we go out and I can tell she's like
Speaker 4: really stressed out at dinner.
Speaker 1: She's stressed.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, I was wondering if she was nervous or whatever.
Speaker 4: But then she tells me that her delivery driver quit,
Speaker 4: so she has all these orders to fulfill and she
Speaker 4: can't physically do it.
Speaker 2: You jumped in and saved the day.
Speaker 4: So I told her, I was like, I can drive
Speaker 4: the truck for you. I've got nothing else to do.
Speaker 4: I'm just like hanging out with my family.
Speaker 1: So does she take you up on it?
Speaker 4: Yees? Oh, she let me help and she's really grateful
Speaker 4: for the offer. And we did kiss that night.
Speaker 1: And then you've got to spend days with each other
Speaker 1: because now you're helping her out at the bakery.
Speaker 2: Although you're not supposed to kiss the people that you
Speaker 2: work for. Yeah, also, how much did she paying?
Speaker 1: That's not necessarily true, Jeff, I've kissed a lot of
Speaker 1: people I worked with.
Speaker 4: No, I mean that's generally the rule. But yeah, it's
Speaker 4: like kind of a different situation. Right, So, like I
Speaker 4: show up in the morning really early, I get the truck,
Speaker 4: and I'm doing deliveries for her, and it's like, actually fun.
Speaker 4: I'm driving around just like dropping off make goods to
Speaker 4: people that people are really happy.
Speaker 1: That's amazing.
Speaker 2: So you're spreading joy, You're making her happy. Everything sounds whimsical. Yeah,
Speaker 2: nothing sounds awkward to this. It sounds beautiful.
Speaker 4: Well, there's this big hill in our hometown and it's
Speaker 4: just like notorious kind of hit and I should have
Speaker 4: known better, but I parked on the hill and I
Speaker 4: don't think I put the parking brake on or the
Speaker 4: parking grate was faulty, but it doesn't matter. Like it rolled.
Speaker 2: Down, you crashed her van.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wasn't even in it, you know, it.
Speaker 5: Just rolled out.
Speaker 2: Oh dude, no.
Speaker 4: It just hit this big cement wall.
Speaker 1: You guys can't take on expenses like that.
Speaker 2: How did Chloe react when you told her?
Speaker 4: Uh? She couldn't believe it. It was such a like
Speaker 4: massive I mean, like disappointment for her because I'm like,
Speaker 4: I offered to help out and then I messed it up.
Speaker 4: I feel like terrible, And you know, I offered to
Speaker 4: like pay for damages to the truck and everything, but.
Speaker 2: You don't want to do that.
Speaker 4: It's been a few weeks, and yeah, she's not talking
Speaker 4: to me, so I know this is an awkward conversation
Speaker 4: to have, but you know, I'm trying to convince her
Speaker 4: to forgive my mistake, give me a second chance, just
Speaker 4: seeing each other again, like at least like one more time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, what was the last thing she said
Speaker 1: to you?
Speaker 4: Well, honestly, I'm not sure if I can say it
Speaker 4: on the radio because there were a lot of words
Speaker 4: that probably wouldn't be okay for the radio.
Speaker 3: Let's try one of them. Let's see how it goes.
Speaker 3: Just say one, okay.
Speaker 4: The good thing is.
Speaker 3: You haven't talked to her since, so hopefully she's had
Speaker 3: some time to calm down and process that.
Speaker 1: I just say, get the dumb button ready, Jeff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, fireworks might happen when we come back and try
Speaker 3: and call the girl you used to have a crush
Speaker 3: on in high school and tell her, hey, sorry for
Speaker 3: crashing your bakery delivery truck into a cement wall.
Speaker 2: You want to hang out sometimes, but you're calm.
Speaker 3: Now right, We're going to do it with your awkward
Speaker 3: Tuesday phone call right after this.
Speaker 2: It's awkward.
Speaker 4: It's Tuesday.
Speaker 2: It's awkward.
Speaker 3: To Today, we're dealing with the case of Hallmark movie
Speaker 3: gone wrong, featuring our listener Dave with his chiseled eight pack,
Speaker 3: who ran into his old high school crush well on
Speaker 3: a ski trip. Recently, they reconnected and he found out
Speaker 3: she worked at a bakery back in their hometown.
Speaker 2: Which we laughed because that's like.
Speaker 3: Literally a Hallmark and she didn't have a delivery driver
Speaker 3: to fill all of her orders.
Speaker 2: Oh no, he quit days before Christmas.
Speaker 3: So Dave boldly volunteered to step in and accidentally crashed
Speaker 3: her delivery truck into a cement wall, ruining not just
Speaker 3: the orders.
Speaker 2: But their chance at a true hallmark love.
Speaker 1: In his defensee when it crashed her business, Jeff, that's
Speaker 1: the whole business.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mentioned he ruined the orders. Yeah, probably a
Speaker 2: little bit more than that.
Speaker 3: If you want to find the sad part about it,
Speaker 3: we can really focus in on that. But the thing
Speaker 3: is now he wants our help to make things right
Speaker 3: with Chloe, just needs a little bit of advice on
Speaker 3: how to get back into her good graces.
Speaker 2: So Brooke and Jose, what do you guys think?
Speaker 1: Wait, have you talked to her since she was you know,
Speaker 1: cussing and super in the moment.
Speaker 4: I've only been texting, but we haven't actually gotten on
Speaker 4: the phone to talk.
Speaker 1: Okay, So this is your first opportunity for a real apology,
Speaker 1: like a calm one after the emotions have died down.
Speaker 1: You need to just tell her how sorry you are.
Speaker 2: And if you know, you already offer to pay for
Speaker 2: a van.
Speaker 1: What you need to do is if she doesn't take
Speaker 1: you up on that again, then you say, all right,
Speaker 1: I've got to make this right please let me take
Speaker 1: you skiing. Bam, suddenly you're on a date together on
Speaker 1: the Skei Hill.
Speaker 2: Yes, and then offer to pay for like six more vans.
Speaker 3: All right, So Brooks advice, like it always is, is
Speaker 3: have the man apologize.
Speaker 2: But maybe crash the van. It's always the guy's fault.
Speaker 2: So what do you think, Dave?
Speaker 4: That? Yeah? Yeah, that helpful. I mean, now that the
Speaker 4: emotions have died down a little bit, if I say sorry, now,
Speaker 4: you know, maybe it'll resonate with her a little bit more.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Okay, but you can't just say it, you have to
Speaker 2: sound it. Yeah, well you are sorry, so we're always yeah. Oh,
Speaker 2: then what was the advice?
Speaker 1: That's the advice, Just be sincere. Apologize to this advice
Speaker 1: right here, try to make it up to her.
Speaker 2: There's no trick to this. One's end it with that.
Speaker 2: That's gonna be a nice touch.
Speaker 3: All right, and then Brooke will offer to pay for
Speaker 3: the truck if it goes well, So here we go.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna dial Chloe's number and let you make your
Speaker 3: awkward Tuesday phone call. All right, all right, well jump
Speaker 3: in and feel like you need a little bit of help.
Speaker 2: But here we go.
Speaker 4: Hello, Chloe. Hey, it's Dave.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, what do you want.
Speaker 4: Hey, it's really good to hear your voice. You know,
Speaker 4: I know I've I've apologized before, but I just wanted
Speaker 4: to say again how sorry I am for everything that happened.
Speaker 4: And I just wanted to check in with you and
Speaker 4: see how you're doing.
Speaker 5: You know, you mean, since you've crashed my delivererty truck
Speaker 5: and through a giant wrench in my business. I'm doing great, Dave,
Speaker 5: I'm doing so great.
Speaker 2: You're great.
Speaker 4: Okay, Well that's actually really really good.
Speaker 5: To hear being sarcastic. Why are you calling me?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 4: Look, I just need to know how I can make
Speaker 4: it up to you. Like, you know, I offer to
Speaker 4: pay for the truck even though the accident accident wasn't
Speaker 4: one hundred percent my fault, I think not.
Speaker 5: You know, I'm sorry it wasn't your fault. You crashed
Speaker 5: my truck.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, but that could have happened to anybody. I mean,
Speaker 4: the truck seemed like.
Speaker 5: No because after it happened, you then ate all of
Speaker 5: the cupcakes from one of the orders.
Speaker 4: Okay, well they weren't going to get there in time,
Speaker 4: and I'm like, not going to wait forever for the
Speaker 4: cops to show up. I was hungry. That was the
Speaker 4: only thing around it.
Speaker 2: The product, Dave.
Speaker 5: Do you realize I had to rebake the entire order.
Speaker 4: Look, I'm just letting you know, like, regardless of who
Speaker 4: ate what, I've.
Speaker 5: Got a question of who it is you that ate everything.
Speaker 4: Look, this has affected me just as much as you.
Speaker 4: I mean, I've been going to therapy to like cope
Speaker 4: with my feelings about you.
Speaker 5: Told me you went out to the desert and did
Speaker 5: ayahuasca for q days.
Speaker 4: It was just soul searching. You know, it's the kind
Speaker 4: of therapy.
Speaker 5: It's not therapy. It's doing drugs.
Speaker 1: Dave.
Speaker 4: Okay, this isn't going like I thought it was.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you think I don't really know what your purpose
Speaker 5: is of calling me.
Speaker 4: Well, I've been doing a lot of work on myself, obviously,
Speaker 4: and I think I'm doing better. And I'm just wondering
Speaker 4: if there's any chance you'll get over it and we
Speaker 4: can we can go out again.
Speaker 3: I'll take You'll get.
Speaker 5: Wow, what's going on?
Speaker 1: We just witnessed the worst apology we may have everard.
Speaker 3: There was some apologies in there, but Chloe, you're you're
Speaker 3: on the radio right now with a show called Brooke
Speaker 3: and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 4: Are you serious?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, this is a segment that we do. It's
Speaker 3: called the Awkward Tuesday phone Call, which it's.
Speaker 5: Like, it can't get worse, to be honest.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I.
Speaker 1: Could like free promotion for your bakery business, So that's good.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not good at these things. I really
Speaker 4: needed help, but I don't know we could tell.
Speaker 2: So look, Chloe, we're trying to help Dave.
Speaker 3: Make his apology sound more sincere because he really does
Speaker 3: feel bad.
Speaker 1: And it's so crazy, Chloe, because when he talked to
Speaker 1: us before we called you, he was so sincere and
Speaker 1: so just regretful of what had happened, and he felt
Speaker 1: like an idiot and he wished he could take it back.
Speaker 2: He also didn't mention the cupcakes. Yeah, yeah, that har
Speaker 2: was new to us. We didn't hear about that.
Speaker 4: You ate the product, bro Listen, the cupcakes were like
Speaker 4: not an important part of it, you know. The van
Speaker 4: obviously was the main thing. And the main main thing
Speaker 4: is that I feel really really bad.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you feel bad because you're coming down off of
Speaker 3: your ayahuasca trip. Look, we didn't realize that this was
Speaker 3: the scenario, Chloe.
Speaker 2: But yeah, there's more layers than we knew.
Speaker 3: Clearly we missed some parts. He absolutely did screw up.
Speaker 3: He is very sorry.
Speaker 2: Is there any chance that maybe you're being just.
Speaker 3: Like a little bit harsh with the judgment because I'm
Speaker 3: just saying, maybe I want to hear from Chloe.
Speaker 5: No, I'm not. I'm assuming that he probably failed to
Speaker 5: mention that he was two hours late start delivery. And
Speaker 5: also he smelled like rum oh.
Speaker 1: The cake.
Speaker 4: No, that was just.
Speaker 1: Oh, I see, Captain Morgan's that's the one you got.
Speaker 4: I was on vacation and I like offered to show up,
Speaker 4: and honestly, she's lucky I like agreed to deliver for
Speaker 4: her at all.
Speaker 1: See Okay, listen, listen. I think this is where you
Speaker 1: both went wrong. You shouldn't have mixed love and business.
Speaker 1: If you would have never volunteered, none of this bad
Speaker 1: stuff would have happened.
Speaker 2: That's actually a really good point, Brooke.
Speaker 3: Never ask anybody you know personally to help you during
Speaker 3: the holidays.
Speaker 5: I have to help me. I offered to pay him,
Speaker 5: and he made me pay him up front.
Speaker 4: Was wait here okay, but she didn't tip me. You
Speaker 4: crushed the car and.
Speaker 3: Hate the cupcake, and you made it sound like this
Speaker 3: whole thing was out of like generosity and the kindness
Speaker 3: of your heart.
Speaker 2: You didn't say that you were getting paid to do this.
Speaker 1: A side job while you're home for the cup cake
Speaker 1: Swimmler came back.
Speaker 4: I mean it was minimum wage. I didn't ask for
Speaker 4: anything more than that, and I thought it would be
Speaker 4: weird if she didn't pay.
Speaker 1: You didn't need to deserve that much money, Dave.
Speaker 3: You probably need to honestly give this a little bit
Speaker 3: more time before you start asking for forgiveness.
Speaker 1: No, No, I think that he just needs to be done.
Speaker 1: They're done.
Speaker 2: I say give it a few years.
Speaker 3: Check in with her, Chloe, when would you like him
Speaker 3: to check back in with you to see if you'll
Speaker 3: forgive him.
Speaker 5: He can lose my number completely. I'm not interested in
Speaker 5: seeing Dave ever again.
Speaker 1: I think he just got banned from a cupcake shop.
Speaker 2: The bakery title, yeah, probably.
Speaker 3: The only bakery in that whole town too for him.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, there was one thing that that I haven't said yet,
Speaker 4: which I was hoping would be like an exciting piece
Speaker 4: of news. But I lost my job in the city
Speaker 4: just last week, so I'm I'm moving back home.
Speaker 2: Actually shocking time, Chloe. He needs the place to live,
Speaker 2: can live with you.
Speaker 5: I'm hanging up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, Well, happy holidays yeah.
Speaker 1: Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
