Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's awkward. It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday phone call.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Most awkward Tuesday phone calls start with an ask, you know, like,
will you help me steal back my television?

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Here's the dress, the back door is unlocked.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Just go in, take it quickly, get out nice. And
we only fell for that three times before we said, hey,
you know what, something's not right here.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
We keep stealing.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
TVs for our listeners and it's not helping with the ratings.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
That's what we learned from it. Yeah, I learned something different.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
But Okay, today there's a woman who's reached out to
us and she's asking for something that's a little bit
more than the normal request.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Not sure if it's gonna fly.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
We're definitely gonna do something here because I mean, we've
committed misdemeanors before.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
But as long as this one's not illegal.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
That I think we're more open to hearing it. So
let's welcome Gabby to the show.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Gabby.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
Hey, hey, guys, Okay, even if it's illegal, I'll get
a fine before we hear your big ass.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Gabby, just tell us real quick about your situation.

Speaker 5 (01:04):
Absolutely so, I've been seeing this guy who memes Eddie.
I've been seeing each other about seven months or so,
and it's just it's just not really going for me anymore.
There's not that spark.

Speaker 4 (01:17):
Yeah, I mean seven months is really the mark where
you know, is it gonna fizzle?

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Is it going to keep going strong?

Speaker 5 (01:23):
It just feels stale. And he hasn't done anything wrong.
That's also what makes it so difficult.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
That's what they all say.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
No, it's not you trust me too, perfected.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
The men over there you too.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:44):
So I'm having a hard time getting the courage to
end things with Eddie, and I kind of thought this
maybe would be a good opportunity to have you guys
help me out.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Don't do that to me, and then they just go away.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
I mean, I think this is important. I've talked to
so many friends who are like, I don't know why
I was in that relationship for five years. I just
didn't know how to get out in the new Why
don't you just end it?

Speaker 3 (02:14):
It's like ripping off a band aid?

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Why don't you?

Speaker 5 (02:17):
So that's why I called you, guys, because I thought
this was a perfect awkward Tuesday call. And I love
you all, and he also likes you guys. A lot.
He enjoys listening to you folks on the way to work.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
Oh that's cool for your awkward Tuesday.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
You want us to give you advice on how to
break up with them? Is that what you're asking?

Speaker 5 (02:36):
Well, I was thinking. I honestly, I thought about having
Jose do a cameo and having Jose break.

Speaker 6 (02:42):
Up for me.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
Yo.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
I mean, it would go to charity, and in a
voice Rolando.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
I don't think anyone wants to be dumped in a Rolando.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Voice because it may hit a little different, worse about
myself after hearing that.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
I mean, it makes it feel like the whole thing
is a joke.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Yeah, I was curious, what made you think of using
Jose's cameo to do this?

Speaker 5 (03:11):
Well, he had bought a cameo from Jose and he
just kept talking on and on about it and just
thought it was the best thing ever. Was super happy,
like it was a kid on Christmas?

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Are you Jose? It was like a thirty minute cameo.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
I just kept talking. I think.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Jose does do cameos and they're actually pretty good. We
get a lot of positive reviews on them, but.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
I've had people tell me they cry and they laugh
and they don't need to about.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Slashlarious. Sure, but it sounds like, Gabby, you didn't want
to do it that way.

Speaker 5 (03:47):
Yes, I thought maybe it would come off a little
too mean or as you mentioned, like a joke. Yeah,
I thought maybe Brett can help me out.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
Broke would be really good at this.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Will you want me to help you?

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Brook?

Speaker 5 (04:01):
I think you're you can be nice?

Speaker 1 (04:02):
So Candy, she has the capability. It doesn't come out
very often.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
I'm always nice.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
I try to be fine and you are. So what
you want my advice on how to break up with him?
Is that what you're saying? Because I have been through
a lot of breakups, I would.

Speaker 5 (04:19):
Love some advice. But I was just also thinking if
you were on the call with me when I break up,
So I want it to be like.

Speaker 4 (04:25):
We're over, but here's Brooke, So you're gonna see him
up and then I'm going to drop the ball.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Is that what you're thinking?

Speaker 5 (04:34):
That'd be awesome?

Speaker 1 (04:39):
What do you think?

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Are you comfortable breaking up with one of Jose's fans?

Speaker 3 (04:44):
That's an easy one. I mean, I like to teach
a man to fish rather than give a man a fish.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
But maybe Gabby can learn something in the process, so
next time she can do Are.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
You sure you want Brooke to do it? After hearing
that sounds like Brooks just hungry for fake.

Speaker 4 (05:02):
I'm saying, I'll help you, Gabby, but you have to
be with me.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
I mean, what type of guy is Eddie?

Speaker 4 (05:08):
I don't even know anything about him, Like, are you
guys dropping the elbow?

Speaker 3 (05:12):
Are you saying I love you to each other? No?

Speaker 5 (05:14):
No, no, no, no no. We have not gotten to
that stage. And I feel like he's going to say
it soon, and so I feel like I need to
do this because he wants to make plans and introduce.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
This buddy, yeah.

Speaker 5 (05:27):
Family, and I just I don't want to leave him on.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
Okay, that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Brook has some thinking to do. We're going to take
a moment. We'll let Brook think about how she's going
to say this. And Brook's laughing thinking about dumping the guy.

Speaker 4 (05:41):
You know, I haven't been in the dating world for
a while, so it's kind of exciting. So I don't know,
like the thrill of it is ascribe.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
I mean, this is going to be our very first
Brook dumps a listener.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Awkward Tuesday phone call.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
I know, Brooks been dying to get someone rushing out
towards men who don't deserve it today.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
So this is the perfect opportunity. We're going to play
a song.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
We'll come back, We'll dial Gabby's boyfriend and let Brooke
dump him for you.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
All right, Okay, thanks.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
That's coming up next. Hold on, it's awkward.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
It's Tuesday.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
It's awkward Tuesday phone call. Love is such a fragile,
delicate emotion.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
It is. One day it's there, blossoming, thriving. The next
day Brook takes it away and.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
Stumps on it.

Speaker 5 (06:33):
Stop.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
I'm not joking. You're about to literally snatch love out
of one man's heart.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Oh, I'm not doing it. It's just the end. It's
the end of his relationship, are you I'm not. I
feel bad for this guy. I do. I have been
dumped and it hurts, and I understand it.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
Well, if you're just joining us, this is the first
ever thing that we're doing on our show. A woman
wants to break up with her boyfriend and she's chosen
Brook to help her do that.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
Why kind of hard to figure.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
That part out, But Jeffrey, apparently her boyfriend is familiar
with the show, and he's even hired Jose to do
a cameo.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
For him in the past. Thanks again for that.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
So the guy knows us sort of at least, and
she thought it might be a little bit less harsh
with the breakup comes from a member of his favorite
morning show rather than coming directly from Gabby.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Maybe he would take that better. So is that a
good idea?

Speaker 2 (07:25):
We're about to find out, and I need to ask you, Gabby,
is it okay if Brooke calls him a nasty name.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
In case the conversation goes off the rails. I don't know.
It's like, hello, Hi, you mother. I'm just saying, what Ara,
should we stay away from Gabby?

Speaker 5 (07:43):
I mean, he hasn't done anything wrong, so I don't
think we need to call him any names yet unless
he calls you one first, and he could throw one back.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
No, I honestly, Gabby, he can take his anger out
on me. It's fine.

Speaker 4 (07:55):
I mean, it's okay to be angry after a breakup.
I think it's the easiest way to get over things. Yeah,
because if you're just sad, then that lasts for longer.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Jose, do you have any advice for Brooke about how
she should handle this?

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Actually, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
All I can tell you is I know how guys
feel when they're being broken up with.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
So don't tell him he's perfect and it's.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Not him and nothing's wrong, because we know that's not true.
I think you just need to be honest and the
hardest part nice.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
I don't know how to break up with someone if
you can't say that, Nile.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
I'm always kind, like I always try to got you both.
You're so ridiculous.

Speaker 5 (08:33):
I like you.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
I like when the women make you guess about why.
Why do you think to give a reason anyway?

Speaker 3 (08:41):
No, I think we're just going to be direct.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
You team me up, Gabby, and then I'll be ready
to stomp on.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
There you go. Okay, let's dial Eddie and let's get
this over with.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
Wait, and you're gonna tell me when it's my turn, right, Gabby?

Speaker 5 (08:57):
Yes, yes, I'll see your name.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
Okay, I'm just.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
Gonna in the background and tell them pick a good
upon you don't be like I hate you, broke.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
Let's try and handle this delicately. I'm downing his number
right now. Good luck, Gabby. We'll be here for you
when you need us. Thank you.

Speaker 5 (09:21):
Hello, Hey, how are you?

Speaker 6 (09:25):
Oh? Hey, I'm good. I'm sorry I didn't recognize this number.

Speaker 5 (09:29):
Oh yeah, what's you up to?

Speaker 3 (09:33):
Not much?

was going.

Speaker 5 (09:39):
It's been nice. Yeah, I just had a coffee and
drum Yeah.

Speaker 6 (09:46):
Oh hey, you know. Sorry, just before I forget, Travis

Speaker 5 (09:55):
I can't.

Speaker 6 (09:57):
Oh sure, sure? What are you gonna be up to?

Speaker 5 (10:00):
I'm just doing something with my mom this weekend. But I, uh,
I actually need to talk to you about something.

Speaker 6 (10:10):
Yeah, sure, what's up?

Speaker 4 (10:13):
So?

Speaker 5 (10:15):
I've been thinking about the last few months together and
all the sudden stuff we've done, you know, the horseback
riding stuff, the trip to Mexico, all of it.

Speaker 6 (10:29):
Yeah, I wouldn't want to do with anybody else for
my cucko bear.

Speaker 5 (10:35):
Uh yeah, well you really don't have to call me that.

Speaker 6 (10:40):
Come on, huh you're my cucka bear.

Speaker 5 (10:43):
Yeah no, no, that's it's okay, because you need a
lot to me and I haven't. We've spent together. Grouper Bear,
Stop with the cuckoo bear. I'm being very serious. I
needed to talk to you about something, and I need
help telling you because I been avoiding this and I

(11:05):
need to just get this over with.

Speaker 6 (11:09):
What Wait, what do you mean, Google Bear?

Speaker 5 (11:11):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (11:14):
Oh gosh, Brook, Hi Eddie Bear, I'm sorry, Wait, Who's
what's going on?

Speaker 3 (11:22):
Hi Eddie?

Speaker 4 (11:22):
This is Brook Okay, that's also Jose But this is
Brook from Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
You're on the phone with us right now.

Speaker 6 (11:31):
No, wait, this is from Brooklyn Jeffrey. Yeah, awesome. Is
this my early birthday surprise? Oh my god, it's a surprise.

Speaker 4 (11:46):
This is not Ohboddy, I don't want to tell you this,
but your girlfriend contacted us because she needed some help
delivery in a pretty hard message.

Speaker 6 (11:58):
Uh huh.

Speaker 4 (11:59):
Okay, so when you take a deep breath, it's not
the end of the world or anything.

Speaker 3 (12:04):
And that No, no, this isn't a joke.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
I'm gonna write that down.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
And you sound you.

Speaker 4 (12:14):
Do, really, honestly sound awesome. And Gabby didn't know how
to tell you this because she really truly respects you
as a person and as a friend.

Speaker 6 (12:24):
Sound so serious?

Speaker 4 (12:25):
Yeah, yeah, because Gabby needs to break off your relationship.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
She wants it to Okay, we didn't need to hit
that right now.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
I figured you shouldn't go any farther.

Speaker 6 (12:35):
Than that.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
Just let him let him listen. Did you did you hear.

Speaker 6 (12:38):
That that awkward?

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (12:42):
She said, Eddie, I'm sorry, buddy, Gabby just doesn't. She
just thinks that you guys are going in two different directions,
and I mean, it's over. But just because a relationship
ends doesn't mean that that time together wasn't important and
it wasn't impactful because it was for her.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
Are okay? Stop it silent?

Speaker 1 (13:05):
I feel like that was less awkward than what you said.

Speaker 3 (13:08):
Are you okay?

Speaker 6 (13:10):
It's just a joke. You guys usually do like fun stuff.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yeah, we usually do, especially occasionally.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
Why I mean, I mean we were trying to make
this like not as terrible.

Speaker 4 (13:21):
Yeah, we heard you love the show, and so we
wanted to say we love you too.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Gabby doesn't.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Gabby wanted to do this as part of an awkward
Tuesday phone call.

Speaker 6 (13:30):
Gabby, can you can you talk to me? Maybe? Like,
can you tell me what's going on?

Speaker 5 (13:34):
I mean, I just thought this would be making light
of a hard situation.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Try again, Gabby.

Speaker 4 (13:43):
Yeah, I think that she was just too scared to
do it. I mean, I'm sure you can understand that, Eddie,
like you've been scared to do things before, right, have
hard conversations.

Speaker 6 (13:56):
Uh, we've not been afraid of experimenting. DI should tell
you about that.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
No, no, no, okay, yeah, we don't know anything about that.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
That's not what this is.

Speaker 5 (14:06):
I want to know, Gabby.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Gabby just wasn't sure how to end things with you
the right way, because you seem like such a great guy,
and she knows that you.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
Are at least familiar with our show.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
She says that you hired Jose to do a cameo before,
so hopefully this makes the bad news a little bit
less bad feelings.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
Because we're kind of like your friends, bro, you know us.

Speaker 6 (14:28):
Yeah. Yeah, I mean I'm never hiring any of you
to do a cameo over again.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
It's going to take that hard.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
Okay, Gabby, Do you have anything else to say to Eddie?

Speaker 5 (14:38):
Eddie, I just want to say I really did appreciate
our time together, and I think you're a wonderful person.
I just think we're moving in different directions and all of.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
Your stuff is out on the street right now. So
they don't live together, okay, thank god.

Speaker 6 (14:54):
Still, though she broke in, I feel like I've been
broken up with like four times in a lot pretty much.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
Oh, I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 (15:02):
Well, the good news is you're in the dating world now,
so maybe you'll need a second date update with us.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
Hey, we can wing man it too.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
You know.

Speaker 6 (15:10):
Maybe I think I'll pass on the radio helped for
a while. Yeah, maybe like next time, like text like
that would be better.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
Better, you'd rather have a texting breakup than this. We're sorry,
cuckoo bear. Oh, Jeffrey in the morning.
