<v Speaker 2>Alexis Dan said, I'd love to tell you guys my

0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:14.080
<v Speaker 2>scary stories. Too many to choose from, but I have

0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:18.000
<v Speaker 2>a bunch about sleep paralysis. My first experience in my

0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:20.560
<v Speaker 2>last was really creepy, too long to tell, but if

0:00:20.600 --> 0:00:21.840
<v Speaker 2>anyone wants to know, I'll share.

0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:25.160
<v Speaker 3>Just ask. Oh, Dan, we did ask, Yes, we asked

0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:29.120
<v Speaker 3>you to tell the story scares me.

0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:30.120
<v Speaker 4>Next time.

0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:31.680
<v Speaker 5>Dan's like, Hey, if you guys want me to leave

0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:33.080

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I tell us, all right, let us let you Dan, Yeah,

0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:40.200
<v Speaker 3>let us know what you think of today's akwerd Tuesday

0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:42.080
<v Speaker 3>phone call. It's brand new and it starts right now.

0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:45.839
<v Speaker 6>It's broken Jeffrey in the morning, and we got an

0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:48.760
<v Speaker 6>email from a woman who was desperate for our help

0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:53.200
<v Speaker 6>because she's had something in her house for nine days

0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:55.120
<v Speaker 6>and could not get.

0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:56.600
<v Speaker 4>Rid of it.

0:00:56.760 --> 0:01:00.320
<v Speaker 6>No matter what she tried, leaving the door open, showing

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:04.560
<v Speaker 6>it with a broom, it just wouldn't go. And that

0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:06.319
<v Speaker 6>something is her.

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:06.959
<v Speaker 4>Mother in law?

0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:09.120
<v Speaker 7>What is?

0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:13.000
<v Speaker 4>I know it's even scarier than the ring.

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:17.080
<v Speaker 6>Part two, and the worst part is it's caused an

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:20.840
<v Speaker 6>issue between her and her husband. So we're going to

0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 6>try to assist during a brand new awkward Tuesday phone

0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:25.440
<v Speaker 6>call right after this.

0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:31.920
<v Speaker 4>It's awkward, It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday phone call.

0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 6>We all have informal titles on this show, like Alexis

0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:43.399
<v Speaker 6>is our resident dog walker slash party girl, Jose is

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:46.959
<v Speaker 6>our resident video game expert slash professional napper.

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:49.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, watch me nap on stream.

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:53.440
<v Speaker 6>And Brook is the poster child for getting along with

0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:57.000
<v Speaker 6>your mother in law.

0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:57.480
<v Speaker 4>She is.

0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:00.360
<v Speaker 6>There is not one person I know who beats Brook

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:04.880
<v Speaker 6>in total grace, humility, and tact when dealing with the

0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:06.120
<v Speaker 6>mother of your spouse.

0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:08.680
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate that, and I appreciate that you're known as

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:10.040
<v Speaker 1>a guy that's never sarcastic.

0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:13.079
<v Speaker 3>No, I love that. I love that about us.

0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:14.680
<v Speaker 6>Aren't we great?

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:15.400
<v Speaker 4>Sure?

0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:19.400
<v Speaker 6>Unfortunately, not everybody has that tight bond that Brooke does

0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:22.080
<v Speaker 6>with her mom in law, And apparently that's the reason

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:25.760
<v Speaker 6>our listener, Abby has reached out for help today. So Abby,

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:29.240
<v Speaker 6>welcome to I la in Law's anonymous this is a

0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:30.399
<v Speaker 6>safe space for you.

0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:31.960
<v Speaker 4>We're happy to have you here.

0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.880
<v Speaker 8>How you doing, I'm doing okay. How are you doing?

0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:36.000
<v Speaker 4>Doing good?

0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 3>In law issues? I've never had him. Don't know I

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:40.000
<v Speaker 3>could give any advice.

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:42.800
<v Speaker 6>We'll see how this goes. But tell us about the

0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:44.360
<v Speaker 6>situation you find yourself in.

0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 8>Well, I've been married for a couple of years now,

0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:51.160
<v Speaker 8>and my husband is an architect and he does periodically

0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:54.840
<v Speaker 8>have to travel for work. But his most recent trip,

0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.239
<v Speaker 8>he had to be gone for about two months.

0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:58.280
<v Speaker 3>Oh that's a lot of time.

0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:01.240
<v Speaker 4>Oh wow, Yeah, no contact at all with him?

0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:04.480
<v Speaker 3>Or like he's an architect, he's not in the secret Cia,

0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:05.200
<v Speaker 3>or he.

0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:07.079
<v Speaker 5>Could be architecting in the center of the Earth.

0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:09.919
<v Speaker 4>He could be architecting the new Pentagon broke. I don't

0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.359
<v Speaker 4>know how what field of work he's in exactly.

0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 8>No, we were able to talk and FaceTime a little bit,

0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:18.920
<v Speaker 8>but it's just in a different country, so it's not

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 8>really feasible for me to come visit him.

0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:21.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that makes sense.

0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 1>That makes sense, And it sucks when the time difference

0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:25.120
<v Speaker 1>is so big and they're.

0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 4>On the metric system over in whatever other country. And

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 4>I'm sure that plays a role in it. How many

0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:35.520
<v Speaker 4>stories is this. Yeah, so a lot of confusion going

0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:35.920
<v Speaker 4>on there.

0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.640
<v Speaker 1>So he was gone overseas as I'm guessing when the

0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:39.720
<v Speaker 1>issues started.

0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:42.720
<v Speaker 8>Actually it was when he got back.

0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:44.800
<v Speaker 4>Oh why what happened?

0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 8>Well, the day he got back, I was so excited,

0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:55.440
<v Speaker 8>so happy to have him home. But when we got

0:03:55.480 --> 0:04:00.160
<v Speaker 8>back from the airport, his mom called and she's like, hey,

0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 8>I'm on my way over and we're like okay, like

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:04.360
<v Speaker 8>nothing was planned.

0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.960
<v Speaker 6>Okay, Oh, she invited herself over to your place when

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:08.560
<v Speaker 6>he got home.

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.000
<v Speaker 1>I see, and you too, were planning on making up

0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:12.360
<v Speaker 1>for two months away from each other.

0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:17.960
<v Speaker 4>Why are you immediate? That's immediately where you're find.

0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:18.280
<v Speaker 3>That's where I would have been.

0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:21.920
<v Speaker 4>Oh God, tell us what happened with the mom in law.

0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:24.800
<v Speaker 8>Well, when she got there, I thought, okay, like she's

0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:28.800
<v Speaker 8>just staying for dinner, Like, because I'm sure she missed you.

0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:33.800
<v Speaker 8>My husbands name is Keith. I'm sure she missed Keith too. Okay, yeah,

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.800
<v Speaker 8>because we usually see her a couple of times a week.

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 8>She doesn't live all that far but far enough.

0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I recommend a whole state.

0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:46.520
<v Speaker 6>But whatever, ye, wherever you want, sure at least right,

0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:49.279
<v Speaker 6>But this makes sense everybody's excited to see Keith again

0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:50.279
<v Speaker 6>after two months away.

0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:51.760
<v Speaker 4>So you have dinner together.

0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:54.720
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, we all have dinner together. And then she's like, oh,

0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:56.920
<v Speaker 8>my bag is in the car, and I'm like, oh,

0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:58.039
<v Speaker 8>I guess she's staying the night.

0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:01.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh she lives like driving distance to your house, you

0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:01.960
<v Speaker 3>see her.

0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:05.279
<v Speaker 8>Sort of like it's not super far, it's definitely drivable,

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:07.840
<v Speaker 8>but like she also can't really drive at night.

0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:10.839
<v Speaker 4>Okay, right, so she stays one night, that's okay.

0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:15.720
<v Speaker 8>She didn't stay this one night. She stayed for nine days.

0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:18.520
<v Speaker 7>Nine days leave.

0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:20.960
<v Speaker 3>Nine days of unannounced mother in a law of time.

0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:26.520
<v Speaker 5>Huh yeah, okay, Well, I mean what did your husband?

0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:28.360
<v Speaker 3>I want to know what your husband said to all

0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:28.599
<v Speaker 3>of this.

0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:32.239
<v Speaker 8>I mean he was slightly annoyed because she just would

0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:36.000
<v Speaker 8>follow us around, like whichever one of us was home,

0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:39.479
<v Speaker 8>she would just follow us around, talking and asking questions,

0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.279
<v Speaker 8>and like, oh god, it was a lot. It was

0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:42.640
<v Speaker 8>a lot.

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:46.640
<v Speaker 6>Nine days of that must be pretty taxing on you mentally.

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.279
<v Speaker 3>So what is so bizarre? You're like, when is she

0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:49.760
<v Speaker 3>going to leave?

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:50.120
<v Speaker 7>Right?

0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:50.479
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:51.279
<v Speaker 4>So what happened?

0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:55.360
<v Speaker 8>So one night my husband was out, He's at the

0:05:55.400 --> 0:06:00.279
<v Speaker 8>grocery store and she's following me around, and I'm just

0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:02.719
<v Speaker 8>I'm at the end of my rope. I just want

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.880
<v Speaker 8>to be able to hang out with my husband and

0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:07.800
<v Speaker 8>like pre kinnect.

0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:08.240
<v Speaker 3>All the way.

0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 4>Sure, well what happened.

0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.120
<v Speaker 8>I was trying to beat around the bush about when

0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:16.800
<v Speaker 8>are you leaving? And she wasn't getting it, and I

0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:20.680
<v Speaker 8>just got frustrated and I said, you know what, you

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:23.640
<v Speaker 8>just need to leave. You've been here for too long.

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:24.720
<v Speaker 8>You just have to go.

0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:28.760
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's understandable.

0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:32.960
<v Speaker 4>Is applauding that she doesn't think he used harsh enough language.

0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.720
<v Speaker 3>That's not true. I'm sure that she was hurt hearing that.

0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 8>But she was very hurt and she kind of huffed out.

0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:42.920
<v Speaker 8>And then she called my husband while he was call

0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:45.120
<v Speaker 8>at the grocery store and told him what happened. So

0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:47.560
<v Speaker 8>I didn't even get a chance to tell him.

0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:50.760
<v Speaker 4>Now, you're the bad guy.

0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:55.560
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, and he thinks now that like I hate his mom,

0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:59.520
<v Speaker 8>and I don't. I mean, I felt awful when she laughed.

0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:01.640
<v Speaker 8>I was like, oh my god, that's not how I

0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:02.800
<v Speaker 8>wanted this to play out.

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, even if you don't believe that, it's really nice.

0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:08.479
<v Speaker 1>They thought like my mother in law a lot, But

0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:10.600
<v Speaker 1>I do love my mother in law too, you know,

0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 1>like it's a complicated relationship to have.

0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:14.480
<v Speaker 8>Yeah.

0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:16.400
<v Speaker 6>So, I mean, now that we've heard your story, you

<v Speaker 6>know this is the awkward Tuesday phone call. So what

0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.840

<v Speaker 6>call your calling?

0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:26.720
<v Speaker 8>Well, we're going to be calling my husband because he's

0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:30.720
<v Speaker 8>been very upset with me since she last okay, And

0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:34.960

<v Speaker 3>It's Tuesday.

0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:57.320
<v Speaker 6>It's awkward Tuesday phone call. You could write a Doctor

0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 6>Seuss book called Oh the Things you Shouldn't Say to

0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:04.680
<v Speaker 6>your mother in law, And one of those things you

0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:07.240
<v Speaker 6>shouldn't say to her is you need to get out

0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:09.640
<v Speaker 6>of this house. You are driving me and my husband

0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:11.080
<v Speaker 6>crazy right now. Please leave?

0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:13.760
<v Speaker 3>Oh I don't know, I a please.

0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah I was really sugarcoating with Thatchap.

0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.400
<v Speaker 6>But that's exactly what our listener Abby said to her

0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:22.440
<v Speaker 6>mom in law, And honestly, it's kind of understandable that

0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:25.760
<v Speaker 6>she did, because the mom showed up uninvited ended up

0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:27.880
<v Speaker 6>spending nine straight days there.

0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:29.560
<v Speaker 4>Still, though, Abby.

0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:32.160
<v Speaker 6>Understands it was not a good move, especially because her

0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:37.079
<v Speaker 6>husband found out. So now he thinks Abby hates his mom,

0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:39.199
<v Speaker 6>and that's not a good feeling for a marriage.

0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:41.400
<v Speaker 3>I think it's also not good because it's not true.

0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:44.160
<v Speaker 3>She doesn't hate her. Yeah, that's her, It's just she

0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:45.120
<v Speaker 3>was pushed to.

0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:48.320
<v Speaker 6>The break exactly And how long ago did this happen, Abby.

0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:49.680
<v Speaker 8>I was just a couple of days ago.

0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:52.160
<v Speaker 6>Okay, So now Abby's come to us for advice on

0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:55.480
<v Speaker 6>how to convince her husband she doesn't hate his mom.

0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:58.880
<v Speaker 6>She just really wanted to reconnect with him alone just

0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:01.400
<v Speaker 6>a little bit, Brook. What's your advice for how she

0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:01.920
<v Speaker 6>can do that?

0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:04.120
<v Speaker 3>Well, Listen, I have said a lot of things I

0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:06.080
<v Speaker 3>should not have said to my mother in law.

0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:07.920
<v Speaker 4>Okay, not just your mother in law, to a lot

0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:10.200
<v Speaker 4>of people in the public.

0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:12.200
<v Speaker 3>No, But when you're talking to your husband about your

0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:15.480
<v Speaker 3>mother in law, it's a really sticky, weird space, right

0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:17.360
<v Speaker 3>because that's his mom.

0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:21.480
<v Speaker 1>No matter how many negative feelings or how irritated you are,

0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:23.840
<v Speaker 1>that's still his mom. So he's going to defend her

0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:28.320
<v Speaker 1>no matter what. I would recommend not commenting at all

0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:31.800
<v Speaker 1>about her behavior and just fall on the sword you're

0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:33.320
<v Speaker 1>sorry and leave it at.

0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:35.280
<v Speaker 4>That, Okay, like say less.

0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:36.800
<v Speaker 3>Say less and take the blame.

0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:38.000
<v Speaker 4>What do you think about that? Abby?

0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:42.240
<v Speaker 8>I mean, I think that there is something there, and

0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:45.480
<v Speaker 8>yes I should take some blame for like especially how

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:48.400
<v Speaker 8>I acted towards her. But I still feel like her

0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:52.559
<v Speaker 8>staying that long without a conversation with either one of

0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.120
<v Speaker 8>us was kind of inappropriate on her part.

0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:56.280
<v Speaker 3>So she doesn't like your advices.

0:09:56.320 --> 0:10:00.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Brooks, maybe you have something better. Abb Well. Action

0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:03.640
<v Speaker 4>speak louder than words. So yeah, sure you could say

0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:04.840
<v Speaker 4>you don't hate his mom.

0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:07.200
<v Speaker 5>Like Brookes suggests it, but it would be even better

0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:10.840
<v Speaker 5>to show him. So I suggest you tell your husband

0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:13.000
<v Speaker 5>you want to invite his mom over for a special

0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:15.800
<v Speaker 5>celebration just for her, like a I don't know, if

0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:16.719
<v Speaker 5>her birthday's.

0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.319
<v Speaker 4>Coming up, maybe be.

0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:20.960
<v Speaker 5>Like let's have your mom or.

0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:23.280
<v Speaker 3>Or maybe plan a thing for her and her son.

0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:25.760
<v Speaker 4>And it's Abby's idea. What do you think of that?

0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:29.640
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I definitely think I could do something that's like

0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:31.800
<v Speaker 8>that because her birthday is coming up.

0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:35.240
<v Speaker 3>That's that was legit advice.

0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:36.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, good job, good job.

0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:40.120
<v Speaker 6>Okay, so there you go, Abby, you have a little

0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:43.040
<v Speaker 6>bit of wisdom on your side now. But we're gonna

0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 6>dial your You're not, no, not your mother in law.

0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.920
<v Speaker 6>That conversation won't go well. No, we're dialing your husband,

0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:52.040
<v Speaker 6>Keith right now, and we will step away. Let you

0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:52.960
<v Speaker 6>make this awkward call.

0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:54.560
<v Speaker 4>You feel ready, I think?

0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:54.720
<v Speaker 7>So?

0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:57.280
<v Speaker 4>Okay, good luck, good, Here we go.

0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:06.240
<v Speaker 7>Hello.

0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:08.800
<v Speaker 8>Hey, it's me.

0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:13.720
<v Speaker 7>Hey, Hey, every BID's how are you?

0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:18.079
<v Speaker 8>I'm good? How are you doing hanging in there?

0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:19.920
<v Speaker 7>I guess everything considered.

0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, yeah, I don't want to talk to you about that,

0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:32.840
<v Speaker 8>just because I know it really upset you and your

0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:36.000
<v Speaker 8>mom too, and I don't want it to be like

0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:38.280
<v Speaker 8>that between all of us.

0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:42.080
<v Speaker 7>You know, you can't just do that to her because

0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:45.400
<v Speaker 7>she know she's good to us. She's really good to us.

0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:46.480
<v Speaker 7>It's not fair.

0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:52.520
<v Speaker 8>No, you're right, she is and she didn't deserve that,

0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:57.199
<v Speaker 8>like fully admitting that the way I handled it was wrong.

0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:03.280
<v Speaker 8>But you had been gone four months and not that

0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:05.520
<v Speaker 8>I would have had a problem with her coming over,

0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:10.160
<v Speaker 8>but she didn't really like let us know that she

0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:11.679
<v Speaker 8>was coming or how long she was staying.

0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:18.160
<v Speaker 7>You know, just stopped. Please, Okay, she's family and there's

0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:21.280
<v Speaker 7>no way I'm sending my mom to a hotel. So,

0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:26.440
<v Speaker 7>although I do appreciate you taking some responsibility here, I

0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:29.280
<v Speaker 7>do think that it's just a little absurd that you

0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:30.600
<v Speaker 7>acted the way that you did.

0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:35.320
<v Speaker 8>You say absurd, but like I need you to put

0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:38.840
<v Speaker 8>yourself in my shoes, because how would you react if.

0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:42.840
<v Speaker 7>Like, how would I react? I would be a loving

0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:46.480
<v Speaker 7>husband to your mom, and I would treat her like

0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:49.680
<v Speaker 7>she's my mom, Like, come on, have you already know that?

0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:53.320
<v Speaker 7>I know you know. I'll tell you one thing I

0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:56.720
<v Speaker 7>wouldn't do. I wouldn't tell your mom what you told mine.

0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.760
<v Speaker 7>My mom's coming to me now and she's telling me

0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:03.599
<v Speaker 7>that I shouldn't be with someone as crude as you.

0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:04.480
<v Speaker 7>You want to know why.

0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:06.360
<v Speaker 8>Why?

0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:11.120
<v Speaker 7>Because you told my mom that you just want her son.

0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:18.600
<v Speaker 7>I just want to like, who tells that?

0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:20.040
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, what.

0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:25.040
<v Speaker 7>Law is going on right now?

0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:26.439
<v Speaker 4>What's happening Keith?

0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:28.800
<v Speaker 7>What's happening right now?

0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:30.440
<v Speaker 4>We want to know.

0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:32.920
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, So, there's been a lot of people listening to

0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:35.000
<v Speaker 6>this phone call because you're on the radio right now

0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:36.720
<v Speaker 6>with a show called Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.

0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:40.240
<v Speaker 7>Ok, Jeffrey in the morning.

0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:45.560
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, I am. We are stunned. Abby, this

0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:47.120
<v Speaker 3>is you said that.

0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:50.800
<v Speaker 7>You know, you really called the radio station.

0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:55.080
<v Speaker 8>I know, I know, but I just I was having

0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:57.559
<v Speaker 8>a hard time and I just needed to talk to

0:13:57.600 --> 0:13:59.360
<v Speaker 8>you about it and I needed some advice, and they

0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:01.319
<v Speaker 8>get really good advice, so I just thought, I was

0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:02.359
<v Speaker 8>you didn't follow.

0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Any of it.

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:04.880
<v Speaker 4>None of the advice was really taken, and you.

0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:06.080
<v Speaker 3>Didn't give us the whole story.

0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:08.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you actually said those words.

0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:18.559
<v Speaker 8>To his I said, I wanted, like, I love making sessions.

0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.720
<v Speaker 3>Better than you.

0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:24.160
<v Speaker 7>Never I would never tell your mom that. That's just

0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:25.000
<v Speaker 7>so disgusting.

0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:30.520
<v Speaker 6>I think they're they're you know, the words are a

0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:33.600
<v Speaker 6>little harsh, but the feeling underneath it is kind of sweet,

0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:34.000
<v Speaker 6>is it.

0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:36.200
<v Speaker 7>Do you think I wanted my mom to know, like,

0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:38.680
<v Speaker 7>you know, I got a little at home, Like.

0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:43.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I do not want details of your marriage right now?

0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:45.680
<v Speaker 4>No, I mean off air, yes, but not now.

0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:48.000
<v Speaker 3>And Abby do not have a door to your bedroom?

0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:51.560
<v Speaker 8>We do, but I feel awkward.

0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:54.680
<v Speaker 6>Come on, Brook, you do with your in laws in

0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:56.800
<v Speaker 6>the room next to you, they're in another room.

0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:58.040
<v Speaker 3>Might have got her to leave sooner.

0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.880
<v Speaker 6>The point, alexis but listen, the last thing that we

0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:06.360
<v Speaker 6>want to do is shane Abby for just being honest

0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:09.360
<v Speaker 6>and putting her emotions and her desires out into the world.

0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:12.280
<v Speaker 5>It is true, she's apologizing.

0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:14.760
<v Speaker 1>And Keith, I bet, I bet your mom wants grandbabies,

0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:16.240
<v Speaker 1>so how those gonna happen?

0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:22.120
<v Speaker 8>And you know, again, though it's a weird convo, I'm

0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:25.800
<v Speaker 8>so sorry. I know I handled this completely the wrong way,

0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.520
<v Speaker 8>Like I don't want your hun to feel unwelcome, but

0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:32.120
<v Speaker 8>we need some boundaries, like just let us know she's

0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:34.440
<v Speaker 8>coming instead of just showing up, and.

0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:36.440
<v Speaker 3>How long she's going to stay. Like, Keith, you too

0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:38.120
<v Speaker 3>need to be a team on that. For sure.

0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:38.800
<v Speaker 4>It's a good point.

0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:41.840
<v Speaker 7>I can see that point. If you're willing to meet.

0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:45.560
<v Speaker 8>Me halfway, yeah, I totally I totally agree with you.

0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:48.440
<v Speaker 8>I want to meet you halfway. I was thinking, since

0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:51.240
<v Speaker 8>her birthday's coming up, I can help you guys put

0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:55.480
<v Speaker 8>something together. Whatever she wants is she wants to have

0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:58.240
<v Speaker 8>dinner with just you, like, that's totally fine. If she

0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:01.120
<v Speaker 8>wants to come have dinner with us, if she wants

0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:02.560
<v Speaker 8>me to cook, if she wants to.

0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:06.720
<v Speaker 6>Go somewhere, or Abby could pop out of the birthday

0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:10.000
<v Speaker 6>cake and say surprise, yes he's pregnant.

0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:15.480
<v Speaker 8>I think that might be more for Keith's birthday. Yeah.

0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:19.800
<v Speaker 4>With that one, Mom's like, why wasn't I invited? But

0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:20.760
<v Speaker 4>clearly Keith.

0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:23.800
<v Speaker 6>She she's very apologetic about how the conversation went down,

0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:26.440
<v Speaker 6>has a lot of regret about it, and just really

0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:28.840
<v Speaker 6>really really wants to turn back the clock to make

0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:29.800
<v Speaker 6>like this never happen.

0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:31.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and she loves your.

0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:35.440
<v Speaker 6>Mom, not the same way she loves you, but yes, yeah.

0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:37.720
<v Speaker 7>Well I'm willing to do that, and I hope we

0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:39.160
<v Speaker 7>can get past this and.

0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:43.600
<v Speaker 4>I will do better. This is sounding really nice.

0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:45.240
<v Speaker 6>It feels like you two are in a much better
