Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
What I love about classic Hallmark movies is how realistic
and relatable they are. Totally because who hasn't taken a
trip to a small town and fallen in love with
the hunky widower who runs the local reindeer phone.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
I mean.
Speaker 5 (00:22):
All the innkeepers I know, and all the businesses going
out of business.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Yeah yeah, but they're all ripped to yea. Yeah, I
mean they're in touch with nature.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
But in between dumbbell curls, they will take a pause
to connect with you.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I can't tell you as someone from an actual small town.
So many hotties, it's just so realistic.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
We've all been there, at least in our minds.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
But one of our listeners has literally been there, because
he describes his life as a failed Hallmark film and
needs our help on finally getting his happy ending.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
So let's talk to Dave. Dave, welcome to the show.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Hey, Hey, how's it going, David?
Speaker 5 (01:03):
If you don't have a six pack or at least
a four pack, hang up, you should make that role.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
I got I got a he's got an eight pack. Okay,
all right, we will accept you into our arms and
try and help you out. But you mentioned that your
life isn't going quite the way that you thought it
was going to be going.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Tell us about it, yeah, I mean, at least this
aspect of it. Like, So, there's this girl that I
used to have a crush on in high school.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
What's her name?
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Her name is Chloe, which I think is such a
such a pretty name.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Oh, you still have a crush.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
This was back when I was like really dorky, so
I like didn't really do anything about it in high school, Okay,
But then years later, like more recently, I randomly run
into her on a ski trip. We hit it off.
We're like racing each other down the slope.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Did you recognize her immediately right away?
Speaker 4 (02:03):
And you know, I took her a second to recognize
me because I look a lot different. She was like, wait,
day from high school? She remember your name too, that's good.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I don't wow these names ever.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
So oh wow, connected right on the ski slope. That
is very hallmarky.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
So we got to talking and it turns out she's
still in our hometown and she like owns a bakery there,
which is extremely charming.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Oh cliche, Oh my.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
God, is she gonna get frosting on her face and
you're gonna have to wipe it off and then kiss her.
That is actually adorable.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Yeah, it's like the perfect meet cute. You know, it's
like all happening organically.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Were another meetup.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Yeah, So I told her that I'm actually going back
home to our hometown for the holidays to see my folks. Okay,
So it's a couple of weeks later, I go to
the bakery. She's there. It's the energy is just like before.
But I asked her out for dinner. She said yes,
and so we go out and I can tell she's
(03:07):
like really stressed out.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Wait, at dinner, she's stressed.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Yeah. Well I was wondering if she was nervous or whatever.
But then she tells me that her delivery driver quit,
so she has all these orders to fulfill and she
can't physically do it.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
There's the plot. You jumped in and saved the day.
You better.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
So I told her, I was like, I can drive
the truck for you. I've got nothing else to do.
I'm just like hanging out with my family.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
So, so does she take you up on it?
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Yes, she let me help and she's really grateful for
the offer, and we did kiss that night.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
And then you got to spend days with each other
because now you're helping her out at the bakery.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Although you're not supposed to kiss the people that you
work for. Yeah, how much did you pay?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
That's not necessarily true, Jo, A lot of people I
worked with, No.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
I mean that's generally the rule. But yeah, it's like
kind of a different situation, right, So, like I show
up in the morning really early. I get the truck
and I'm doing deliveries for her, and it's like, actually fun.
I'm driving around just like dropping off bake goods to
people that people are really happy.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
That's amazing.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
So you're spreading joy, You're making her happy. Everything sounds whimsical.
Nothing sounds awkward to this, It sounds beautiful.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Well, there's this big hill in our hometown and it's
just like notorious kind of hill and I should have
known better, but I parked on the hill and I
don't think I put the parking brake on or the
parking grate was faulty. But it doesn't matter. Like it
rolled down.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
You crashed her van.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
Yeah, I wasn't even in it, you know, it just
rolled out.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Oh dude, no.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
It just hit this big cement walls.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
You guys can take on expenses like that.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
How did Chloe react when you told her?
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Uh, she couldn't believe it. It was such a like
massive I mean like disappointment for her because I'm like,
I offered to help out and then I messed it up.
I feel like terrible, and you know, I offered to
like pay for damages to the truck and everything.
Speaker 7 (05:28):
But it's been a few weeks and yeah, she's not
talking to me, so I know this is an awkward
conversation to have, but you know, I'm trying to convince
her to forgive my mistake, give me a second chance,
and just seeing each other again, like at least like
one more time.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yeah, I mean, what was the last thing she said
to you?
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Well, honestly, I'm not sure if I can say it
on the radio because there were a lot of words
that probably wouldn't be okay for the radio.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Let's try one of them. Let's see how it goes.
Just say one, Okay.
Speaker 7 (06:05):
The good thing is.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
You haven't talked to her since, so hopefully she's had
some time to calm down and process that.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I just say get the dumb button ready, Jeff.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Fireworks might happen when we come back and try and
call the girl you used to have a crush on
in high school and tell her, Hey, sorry for crashing
your bakery delivery truck into a cement wall.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
You want to hang out sometimes, but you're calm now right,
We're going to do it with your awkward Tuesday phone
call right after it's awkward It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday
phone call.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Today, we're dealing with the case of Hallmark movie gone wrong,
featuring our listener Dave with his chiseled eight pack, who
ran into his old high school crush well on a
ski trip. Recently, they reconnected and he found out she
worked at a bakery back in their hometown, which we
laughed because that's like literally a Hallmark ch and she
(07:01):
didn't have a delivery driver to fill all of her orders.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
No, he quit days before Christmas.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
So Dave boldly volunteered to step in and accidentally crashed
her delivery truck into a cement wall, ruining not just
the orders.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
But their chance at a true Hallmark love.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
In his defenseide when it cracked her business, Jeff, that's
the whole business.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Yeah, I mentioned he ruined the orders.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Yeah, probably a little bit more than that.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
If you want to find the sad part about it,
we can really focus in on that. But the thing
is now he wants our help to make things right
with Chloe, just needs a little bit of advice on
how to get back into her good graces.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
So Brooke and Jose, what do you guys think?
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Wait, have you talked to her since she was you know,
cussing and super in the moment.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
I've only been texting, but we haven't actually gotten on
the phone to talk.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Okay, So this is your first opportunity for a real apology,
like a calm one after the emotions have died down.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
You need to just tell her how sorry you are.
Yea and the sword and if you know you already
offer to pay for a van.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
What you need to do is if she doesn't take
you up on that again, then you say, all right.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I've got to make this right.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
Please let me take you skien Bam, suddenly you're on
a date together on the Skei Hill.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yes, and then offer to pay for like six more vans.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
All right?
Speaker 3 (08:23):
So Brooks advice, like it always is, is have the man, apologize.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
But maybe crash the van.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
It's always the guy's fault. So what do you think, Dave?
Is that helpful?
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Yeah? Yeah, no, that's helpful. I mean, now that the
emotions have died down a little bit, if I say sorry, now,
you know, maybe it'll resonate with her a little bit more.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah, okay, but you can't just say it. You have
to sound it. Yeah, well you are sorry, so we're
always so yeah. Oh, then what was the advice?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
That's the advice. Just be sincere him to this advice
right here, try to make it up to her.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
There's no trick to this. Yeah. Yeah, I end it
with that. That's gonna be a nice touch, all.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Right, and then Brooke will offer to pay for the
truck if it goes well, So here we go. I'm
gonna dial Chloe's number and let you make your awkward
Tuesday phone call. All right, all right, well jump in
and feel like you need a little bit of help.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
But here we go.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Hello, Chloe. Hey, it's Dave.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
Oh my god, what do you want.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Hey, it's really good to hear your voice. You know,
I know I've I've apologized before, but I just wanted
to say again. How sorry I am for everything that happened,
and I just wanted to check in with you and
see how you're doing.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
You know, you mean since you've crashed my delivererty truck
and through a giant wrench in my business. I'm doing great, Dave,
I'm doing so great.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
You're great. Okay, Well that's actually really really good to hear.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
I'm being sarcastic. Why are you calling me?
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Oh? Look, I just need to know how I can
make it up to you. Like, you know, I offer
to pay for the truck even though the accident accident
wasn't one hundred percent my fault, I think not.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
You know, I'm sorry it wasn't your fault. You crashed
my truck.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Well, yeah, but that could have happened to anybody. I mean,
the truck seemed like.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
No because after it happened, you then ate all of
the cupcakes from one.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Of the orders.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Okay, well they weren't going to get there in time,
and I'm like, not gonna wait forever for the cops
to show up. I was hungry, that was the only
thing around it.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
Ate the product, Dave, Do you realize I had to
rebake the entire order?
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Look, I'm just letting you know, like, regardless of who
ate what.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
I's got a question of who it is you that
ate everything.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Look, this has affected me just as much as you.
I mean, I I've been going to therapy to cope
with my feelings about you.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Told me you went out to the desert and did aahuasca.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
For q days. It was just soul searching. You know,
it's the kind of therapy.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
It's not therapy. It's doing drugs.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Dave.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Okay, Uh, this isn't going like I thought it was.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
Yeah, you think I don't really know what your purpose
is of calling me.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Well, I've been doing a lot of work on myself, obviously,
and I think I'm doing better, and I'm just wondering
if there's any chance you'll get over it and we
can we can go out again. I'll take.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
You'll.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
Wow, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
We just witnessed the worst apology we may have ever more.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
There was some apologies in there.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
But Chloe, you're you're on the radio right now with
a show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
Are you serious? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
This is a segment that we do. It's called the
Awkward Tuesday phone call, which it's.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
Like, it can't get worse, to be honest.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
It's like free promotion for your bakery business, So that's good.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
I mean, I'm not good at these things. I really
needed help, but I don't know we could tell.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
So look, Chloe, we're trying to help Dave make his
apology sound more sincere, because he really does feel bad.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
And it's so crazy, Chloe, because when he talked to
us before we called you, he was so sincere and
so just regretful of what had happened, and he felt
like an idiot and he wished he could take it back.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
He also didn't mention the cupcakes.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Yeah, yeah, that was new to us. We didn't hear
about that.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
You ate the product, bro, Listen, the cupcakes were like
not an important part of it. You know. The van
obviously was the main thing. And the main main thing
is that I feel really really bad happen.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Yeah, you feel bad because you're coming down off of
your ayahuasca trip. Look, we didn't realize that this was
the scenario, Chloe.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
But there's more layers than we knew.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Clearly we missed some parts. He absolutely did screw up.
He is very sorry, Is there any chance that maybe
you're being just like a little bit harsh with the
judgment because I'm just saying, maybe I want to hear
from Chloe.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
No, I'm not. I'm assuming that he probably failed to
mention that he was two hours late to start the
delivery and also he smelled like rum cake.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
No, that was just my captain, you guy.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
I was on vacation and I like offered to show up,
and honestly, she's lucky I like agreed to deliver for
her at all.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
Okay, listen, listen, I think this is where you both
went wrong.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
You shouldn't have mixed love and business.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
If you would have never volunteered, none of this bad
stuff would have happened.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
That's actually a really good point, Brooke. Never ask anybody
you know personally to help you during the holidays.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
To help me. I offered to pay him, and he
made me pay him up front.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Wait wait here.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Paid Okay, but she didn't tip me.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Don't you crash the car and hate the cupcake?
Speaker 3 (14:28):
And you made it sound like this whole thing was
out of like generosity and the kindness of your heart.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
You didn't say that you were getting paid to do this.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
A side job while you're home for this, like the
cupcake swindler came back.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
I mean it was minimum wage. I didn't ask for
anything more than that, and I thought it would be
weird that she didn't pay.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
You didn't need to deserve that much money, Dave.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
You probably need to honestly give this a little bit
more time before you start asking for forgiveness.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
No, No, I think that he just needs to be done.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
If they're done, I say, I say give it a
few years.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
No check in with her, Chloe, when would you like
him the check back in with you to see if
you'll forgive him.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
He can lose my number completely. I'm not interested in
seeing Dave ever again.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
I think he just got banned from a cupcake shop
for the bakery the title.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yeah, probably the only bakery in that whole town too.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
He has for him.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Well, there was one thing that that I haven't said yet,
which I was hoping would be like an exciting piece
of news. But I lost my job in the city
just last week, so I'm I'm moving back home.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Actually, he needs the place to live.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
I'm hanging up.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Okay, Well, happy holidays
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Yeah, brooking Jeffrey in the morning,
It's awkward.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
What I love about classic Hallmark movies is how realistic

out of business.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Yeah yeah, but they're all ripped to yea. Yeah, I
mean they're in touch with nature.
Speaker 3 (00:33):

I feel like terrible, and you know, I offered to
like pay for damages to the truck and everything.
Speaker 7 (05:28):
But it's been a few weeks and yeah, she's not
talking to me, so I know this is an awkward
conversation to have, but you know, I'm trying to convince
her to forgive my mistake, give me a second chance,
and just seeing each other again, like at least like
one more time.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yeah, I mean, what was the last thing she said
to you?
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Well, honestly, I'm not sure if I can say it
on the radio because there were a lot of words
that probably wouldn't be okay for the radio.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Let's try one of them. Let's see how it goes.
Just say one, Okay.
Speaker 7 (06:05):
The good thing is.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
You haven't talked to her since, so hopefully she's had
some time to calm down and process that.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I just say get the dumb button ready, Jeff.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Fireworks might happen when we come back and try and
call the girl you used to have a crush on
in high school and tell her, Hey, sorry for crashing
your bakery delivery truck into a cement wall.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
You want to hang out sometimes, but you're calm now right,
We're going to do it with your awkward Tuesday phone
call right after it's awkward It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday
phone call.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Today, we're dealing with the case of Hallmark movie gone wrong,
featuring our listener Dave with his chiseled eight pack, who
ran into his old high school crush well on a
ski trip. Recently, they reconnected and he found out she
worked at a bakery back in their hometown, which we
laughed because that's like literally a Hallmark ch and she
(07:01):
didn't have a delivery driver to fill all of her orders.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
No, he quit days before Christmas.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
So Dave boldly volunteered to step in and accidentally crashed
her delivery truck into a cement wall, ruining not just
the orders.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
But their chance at a true Hallmark love.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
In his defenseide when it cracked her business, Jeff, that's
the whole business.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Yeah, I mentioned he ruined the orders.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Yeah, probably a little bit more than that.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
If you want to find the sad part about it,
we can really focus in on that. But the thing
is now he wants our help to make things right
with Chloe, just needs a little bit of advice on
how to get back into her good graces.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
So Brooke and Jose, what do you guys think?
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Wait, have you talked to her since she was you know,
cussing and super in the moment.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
I've only been texting, but we haven't actually gotten on
the phone to talk.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Okay, So this is your first opportunity for a real apology,
like a calm one after the emotions have died down.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
You need to just tell her how sorry you are.
Yea and the sword and if you know you already
offer to pay for a van.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
What you need to do is if she doesn't take
you up on that again, then you say, all right.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I've got to make this right.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
Please let me take you skien Bam, suddenly you're on
a date together on the Skei Hill.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yes, and then offer to pay for like six more vans.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
All right?
Speaker 3 (08:23):
So Brooks advice, like it always is, is have the man, apologize.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
But maybe crash the van.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
It's always the guy's fault. So what do you think, Dave?
Is that helpful?
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Yeah? Yeah, no, that's helpful. I mean, now that the
emotions have died down a little bit, if I say sorry, now,
you know, maybe it'll resonate with her a little bit more.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah, okay, but you can't just say it. You have
to sound it. Yeah, well you are sorry, so we're
always so yeah. Oh, then what was the advice?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
That's the advice. Just be sincere him to this advice
right here, try to make it up to her.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
There's no trick to this. Yeah. Yeah, I end it
with that. That's gonna be a nice touch, all.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Right, and then Brooke will offer to pay for the
truck if it goes well, So here we go. I'm
gonna dial Chloe's number and let you make your awkward
Tuesday phone call. All right, all right, well jump in
and feel like you need a little bit of help.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
But here we go.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Hello, Chloe. Hey, it's Dave.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
Oh my god, what do you want.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
Hey, it's really good to hear your voice. You know,
I know I've I've apologized before, but I just wanted
to say again. How sorry I am for everything that happened,
and I just wanted to check in with you and
see how you're doing.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
You know, you mean since you've crashed my delivererty truck
and through a giant wrench in my business. I'm doing great, Dave,
I'm doing so great.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
You're great. Okay, Well that's actually really really good to hear.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
I'm being sarcastic. Why are you calling me?
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Oh? Look, I just need to know how I can
make it up to you. Like, you know, I offer
to pay for the truck even though the accident accident
wasn't one hundred percent my fault, I think not.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
You know, I'm sorry it wasn't your fault. You crashed
my truck.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Well, yeah, but that could have happened to anybody. I mean,
the truck seemed like.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
No because after it happened, you then ate all of
the cupcakes from one.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Of the orders.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Okay, well they weren't going to get there in time,
and I'm like, not gonna wait forever for the cops
to show up. I was hungry, that was the only
thing around it.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
Ate the product, Dave, Do you realize I had to
rebake the entire order?
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Look, I'm just letting you know, like, regardless of who
ate what.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
I's got a question of who it is you that
ate everything.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Look, this has affected me just as much as you.
I mean, I I've been going to therapy to cope
with my feelings about you.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Told me you went out to the desert and did aahuasca.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
For q days. It was just soul searching. You know,
it's the kind of therapy.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
It's not therapy. It's doing drugs.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Dave.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Okay, Uh, this isn't going like I thought it was.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
Yeah, you think I don't really know what your purpose
is of calling me.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Well, I've been doing a lot of work on myself, obviously,
and I think I'm doing better, and I'm just wondering
if there's any chance you'll get over it and we
can we can go out again. I'll take.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
You'll.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
Wow, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
We just witnessed the worst apology we may have ever more.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
There was some apologies in there.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
But Chloe, you're you're on the radio right now with
a show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
Are you serious? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
This is a segment that we do. It's called the
Awkward Tuesday phone call, which it's.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
Like, it can't get worse, to be honest.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
It's like free promotion for your bakery business, So that's good.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
I mean, I'm not good at these things. I really
needed help, but I don't know we could tell.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
So look, Chloe, we're trying to help Dave make his
apology sound more sincere, because he really does feel bad.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
And it's so crazy, Chloe, because when he talked to
us before we called you, he was so sincere and
so just regretful of what had happened, and he felt
like an idiot and he wished he could take it back.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
He also didn't mention the cupcakes.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Yeah, yeah, that was new to us. We didn't hear
about that.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
You ate the product, bro, Listen, the cupcakes were like
not an important part of it. You know. The van
obviously was the main thing. And the main main thing
is that I feel really really bad happen.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Yeah, you feel bad because you're coming down off of
your ayahuasca trip. Look, we didn't realize that this was
the scenario, Chloe.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
But there's more layers than we knew.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Clearly we missed some parts. He absolutely did screw up.
He is very sorry, Is there any chance that maybe
you're being just like a little bit harsh with the
judgment because I'm just saying, maybe I want to hear
from Chloe.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
No, I'm not. I'm assuming that he probably failed to
mention that he was two hours late to start the
delivery and also he smelled like rum cake.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
No, that was just my captain, you guy.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
I was on vacation and I like offered to show up,
and honestly, she's lucky I like agreed to deliver for
her at all.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
Okay, listen, listen, I think this is where you both
went wrong.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
You shouldn't have mixed love and business.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
If you would have never volunteered, none of this bad
stuff would have happened.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
That's actually a really good point, Brooke. Never ask anybody
you know personally to help you during the holidays.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
To help me. I offered to pay him, and he
made me pay him up front.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Wait wait here.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Paid Okay, but she didn't tip me.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Don't you crash the car and hate the cupcake?
Speaker 3 (14:28):
And you made it sound like this whole thing was
out of like generosity and the kindness of your heart.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
You didn't say that you were getting paid to do this.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
A side job while you're home for this, like the
cupcake swindler came back.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
I mean it was minimum wage. I didn't ask for
anything more than that, and I thought it would be
weird that she didn't pay.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
You didn't need to deserve that much money, Dave.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
You probably need to honestly give this a little bit
more time before you start asking for forgiveness.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
No, No, I think that he just needs to be done.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
If they're done, I say, I say give it a
few years.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
No check in with her, Chloe, when would you like
him the check back in with you to see if
you'll forgive him.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
He can lose my number completely. I'm not interested in
seeing Dave ever again.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
I think he just got banned from a cupcake shop
for the bakery the title.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yeah, probably the only bakery in that whole town too.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
He has for him.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Well, there was one thing that that I haven't said yet,
which I was hoping would be like an exciting piece
of news. But I lost my job in the city
just last week, so I'm I'm moving back home.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Actually, he needs the place to live.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
I'm hanging up.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Okay, Well, happy holidays
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Yeah, brooking Jeffrey in the morning,
