Speaker 1 (00:01):
Some mothers can be a little overbearing. Oh yeah, like
maybe when you turn twenty one, they set up a
secret j date profile to find you a nice Jewish
wife without telling you about it, And next thing you know,
suddenly you're getting DMS from some yenta the synagogue trying
to send you unsolicited mondol bread in a ziplock of
(00:24):
her homemade rugela.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
When you never asked for help in the first place. Yeah, yeah,
is good. Oh okay, he took anyway.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
One of our listeners came across a mother that was
just like that, and what was said to her is
either going to be the biggest misunderstanding ever or the
most awkward roommate conversation of all time, and you're gonna
hear it in your brand new awkward Tuesday phone call right.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
After this It's awkward, It's.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Tuesday phone call. There's certain events that always seem to
create drama. Oh yeah, we're guaranteed by the end, somebody
is probably going to be crying in a bathroom or
fist fighting out in the parking lot. We're talking bachelor
bachelorette parties, Thanksgiving dinners, and of course brooks out of
(01:22):
wedlock baby showers, Wait. What always somebody's crying at the
end of those and I drove for other people. Yeah,
but you don't normally expect to find drama while attending
your parents' work event.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
What whoa?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah, apparently not, because that's what happened to one of
our listeners, Kayla, and now she needs our help with
at awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Kayla, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Hi, thanks for having me.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Oh my gosh, I can't wait to hear if you're
the starter of the drama. If it's somebody else's why
you in the first place.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Question the fact that you even still talk to your parents,
it's just impressive. But tell us what is this work
event that you wound up that somehow?
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Okay, So recently I went to a work event that
my dad's company was throwing.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Wait, did your dad own the company? Sorry, maybe I'm
reading that wrong.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Yeah, yeah, my dad owns the company.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Okay, okay, yes, and you can't be part of it
and have nepotism if you're not there.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I'm expected to go. So they have this big like
family day picnic for the whole company.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Ok I mean cut.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Yeah. So I'm there with my parents and they're talking
with some of my dad's coworkers. And of course they
do it. All old people do. They show each other
photos of their kids.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
I mean young parents do that too, but fine, Well yeah,
once you reach a certain age, once you have kids,
you want to show them off.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Well yeah, if you're proud of them. Sure not everybody is, Okay,
So they're showing pictures of kids.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Yeah, And there was this one woman there and she's
showing me a picture of her son, and she's saying, oh,
he's so cute, right, and he's your age and single
if you're interested.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Parents love to do that and always it took everything
in my power not to react because I recognized him.
Oh yeah, well her son has been dating my roommate
for over a year. Now, wait what.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
About her? Yeah, why is she trying to set him
up if he's in a committed relationship.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I don't know. So, like I kind of hinted to
her like, oh wow, like he's really handsome. It's hard
to imagine no girl has snatched him up. And the
woman says to me, well, he was in a relationship,
but he broke up with her six months ago, so
what Like, clearly he's been telling his parents something. But
he's been lying to them. He's been telling him something
(04:00):
it's not true.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
And you're sure he's dating your roommate like he's been
over in the passage.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah, no, that's actually a good question.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Absolutely. Okay, she's my roommate, Like, I know what he
looks like.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Okay, hold on, not to like defend this guy, but
I have overbearing parents, and I definitely don't tell them
everything about my.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Personal you tell them anything.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
I don't tell my mom if i'm dating someone till
it's like years in.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Yeah, oh my god, I actually introduced him on the
second date.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Oh oh god.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yes, especially not with my dating life. So you have
a reason for keeping that information from his parents.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
I mean, I think Jeff might be honest something, because
it could also be what if the mom hated your
roommate and so he just lied and said, oh, we
broke up so we didn't have to hear her complain anymore.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Did she seem like a hateful woman when you were
talking to.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Her, Yes, no, No, she seemed totally nice in her
She's obviously trying to set up her son.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Yeah, that is the keystone mark of a hateful person
the life. Speaking personal experience, I'm just saying.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Yeah, maybe she hates her son.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
So wait, so did you tell your roommate about this?
Not yet.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I got his number from her phone, and I feel
like I need to talk to him first and be like,
why do your parents think that you're single? Right now?
Like what's going on?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
And you didn't bring it up to his mother?
Speaker 3 (05:26):
No, because like I again, I don't know what's going on,
but I feel like everybody should be on the same page.
And I'm putting this really awkward position of knowing but
not knowing what to do.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
It is a weird position.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
And what's your relationship like with your roommate's boyfriend.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
I mean, like, we don't hang out a lot, but
he's at our place obviously, so I see him and
we've had some good times together. But obviously this is
just a really like sticky situation.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
And the advice that you're looking to get before you
make your call to the boyfriend, it sounds like, what
what are you wanting to hear from us?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I guess, like, how do I confront him? Being like,
your mom told me that you said you were single,
but I know you're dating my roommate.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Yeah, I mean that does come across as a little accusatory.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Right after that, right, yeah, you kind of just want
to put him on the spot and see what he
has to say, how he defends himself.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Well exactly.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Sounded a little harsh. Yeah, yeah, but you know what
I mean. Put him on a pedestal. We'll put him somewhere.
We're gonna do something. We're do something with it.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Before first, we're going to give you our advice though,
right if we come back and let you make your
awkward Tuesday phone call to figure out what's really going
on with your roommate's boyfriend right after this, hold on,
it's awkward. It's it's awkward Tuesday phone call. Anyway, As
a woman, I imagine it would be the ultimate compliment
(06:58):
when an older lady he comes up to you in
public and says, Hey, you seem nice and desperate enough
to date my single son.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
How about it? No, I feel like that happened to
you all the time, broke.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
It didn't.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
You didn't seem nice enough.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
No, I don't think I've ever been nice enough for
somebody's son. But I'll just tell you the only reason
I don't think it's a compliment. Is because everyone that
my mom has ever thought was cute was. It's unlike,
we don't need to lead with personality. Mom.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Well that's the situation that one of our listeners, Kayla,
found herself in recently, and it would have been flattering
except she knew the guy from the photo that the
lady was showing her. Yeah, it's a guy who's currently
dating her roommate and has been for over a year.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Yeah, they're like in a real relationship, but just get smaller.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
But the mom's told her, no, he's single and he
has been for months.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah, so that's a giant red flag because obviously he's not.
And she never told the mom that day about it,
never brought it up to her roommate either. Instead, she's
turned to the most trusted source on the entire planet,
a radio show named Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
That's right to help her.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Can we just applaud her too for not blowing things
out of proportion before she gets an answer from the
boyfriend like that right now?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Dude, what is that?
Speaker 3 (08:24):
That's true? Thank you?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Yeah, hopefully we have some decent advice for you, Brooke,
do you have anything to.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Okay, listen, this is what you need to do. When
you call him, you be like, oh my god, I
have the funniest story to tell you. I ran into
your mom and she tried to set me up on
a date with you. Okay, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
I just feel so awkward, like and I've never really
talked to him on the phone.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Before, so I know you're like Alexis, phone calls her heart.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
But I think there's some merit to that. If you're
really nice to him, it'll make him put his guard down.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
I'm definitely gonna be nice.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Okay. We don't even know that he's in the wrong.
I think he's in the wrong already, that's true.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
I think she's just scared of silence, like Alexis would
be on the.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
You need the silence because then it forces him to talk.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Embrace the silence, and if all else fails, threatened to
release his nude photos against the laws. Last result is
what I'm saying. But I'm going to dial this guy's number.
Have we even learned his name yet?
Speaker 3 (09:26):
His name is Aaron.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Okay, scumbag, Aaron potentially scumbag? Yes, thank you, alleged potentially
he's actually.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
A good guy, you think all of them.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Okay, here we go.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I'm going to dial it and we're gonna step away.
Let you make your awkward Tuesday phone call. Will jump
in if you feel like you need a help.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Okay, Kayla, okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Okay, you got this. Here we go.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Hello, Hey Aaron, this is Kayla. How are you. Oh
hey Caylen. What's what's up?
Speaker 5 (10:09):
What's going on?
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I just something kind of funny happened the other day
and I just I just wanted to ask you about it,
if that's okay? Do you have a minute? Uh?
Speaker 6 (10:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Is everything okay?
Speaker 5 (10:25):
I mean it's it's kind of odd for you to
call me out of the blue.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Yeah, I know, I know. I normally just like to
see you, but I just I had to ask you something,
uh privately. So but yeah, if you just, if you
have a minute, can I just ask you something real fast?
Speaker 5 (10:43):
I mean, sure, what what's what's up?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Okay? So the other day, my dad's company had a
had a party and I ended up seeing your mom
there and she she showed me a photo of you
and she's like, oh, my son is single, which was
just really weird because I know you've been obviously with
my roommate, so I just wanted to like ask what
(11:10):
was going on, Like does your mom think that you're single?
Speaker 5 (11:15):
Or is that just like a mistake or something.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
So this is really funny you even asked that.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
I mean, my mom found out she was going to
your parents' party, right, And I was like, another daughter,
she's really cute, and my mom she was like, well
you should date her. I mean she's better than who
you're dating.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Oh okay, well obviously that's not true, but okay, well
I mean it is true.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
But anyways, I was like, that would be weird, mom,
you know, and she thought, you know, well you've met
my mom.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
She's like, let me try, let me try, and let
me I'll.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Talk to let me try.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
And I'm like, it's not the worst idea, right, So I.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Was like, okay, yeah, sure, wait, so hold on, I'm
trying to wrap my brain around this. You are with
my roommates, but you told your mom it was fine
to tell me you were single.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Yeah, And my mom was She's all about us. She's like,
oh yeah, a lot of fools, and you know you've
met my mom. She's very yeah, so she.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Yeah, sorry, I'm just I'm having trouble understanding.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Why come on, I mean, is it really that crazy?
Speaker 3 (12:30):
What is what crazy?
Speaker 5 (12:32):
I mean you and me? I mean, that's not so crazy?
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Right?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Are you listen?
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Serious?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Right now?
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:42):
I mean what do you what do you think?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (12:46):
What do you mean? What do I think?
Speaker 5 (12:47):
You're with my roommates temporarily?
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I mean, listen, it could be you and me.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
I mean, we we get along and then and you're
not as messy as her, and you know, listen, your
your lease is up in three months, and I figured, well,
you could just move out, get your own place, and
then we can start dating on the you know, on
the down low.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Wow, you have it all planned out so creepy.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Sorry, didn't I hit the awkward before I heard her?
I should have given her a chance.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
What are you going on?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Alexis? You're right? He is a good He's a cheater.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
I didn't see that coming.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
I got a good feeling about Yeah, I was trying
to cheat?
Speaker 3 (13:36):
What is going on?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
And you heard us? Oops?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
So guestcats out of the bag. You're on the radio
right now with a show called Brook and Jeffrey in
the morning. Dude, what no, no, no, no, no, yeah, yeah,
no no, you got you guys need no, no, you
guys need to delete this really well and send it
to your girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Yeah okay, yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Why would you?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Guys? Why would you do this?
Speaker 4 (14:02):
It's not it's not her fault. You are your your words,
your actions.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I was just asking the question, I mean, what are
you talking about this ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
On the radio like this.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
You are the most upset innocent person I've.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Ever That's a great state.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Clearly, Aaron, you're aware that this breaks some social rules here.
Otherwise you wouldn't be as upset as you are right now.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
No, I mean, the cat's out on the bag.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Sure, I can't it, but you can't blame a guy
for trying.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
And how Hilary you were about it, How like you
just thought she was going to go along with this?
Why would you ever think that?
Speaker 6 (14:41):
It wasn't my idea, it was my mom's ideas. Come on, Oh,
I thought about it, and I thought that's great.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Actually they do say mothers know best. Yeah, hey, honey,
you should cheat on your girlfriend. Mom is telling me to.
But I don't know what are you thinking now that you're.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Hearing all this I'm thinking that this is absolutely disgusting
and I'm absolutely gonna want.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Wait so you never thought about you and him together?
Speaker 5 (15:11):
No, that's we get a long grip.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
I was a joke, arin, dude.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Even if she was attracted you in any way, I'm
sure her friendship means way more than I know. If
you're not happy with your current girlfriend, that's okay, but
don't bounce over to the roommate is like twenty feet away.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Especially before you've broken.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
I mean, you could, but at least.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Be single again.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Listen, it wasn't my idea.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
My mom came up with this and I just went
with it.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Man. I mean you understand that, right, Kayla.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Yeah, because what every girl wants is a guy who
can't think for himself and only has his mom to
lip and kill.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Oh so there's hope.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Okay, Well, it was definitely an awkward call, but the
good news is that Lee, the truth did come out.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
The truth was wayt spicier than I thought.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
I did not think this.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
I thought the mom.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
I mean, the mom is obviously a whack could do.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
But like I thought, I don't know, take out in
nineteen fifties and Encyclopedia.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I think it used to be.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
No, I'm just so thankful for you guys helping me out,
because otherwise I would have thought he was innocent too.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
It seemed like a misunderstanding.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
You need to go get a bottle of wine to
bring home to your roommate tonight.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
And have a good so that Daron and the roommate
can split it and have a nice evening just the
two of them.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
That's a party, Brooking Jeffrey in the morning,
Some mothers can be a little overbearing. Oh yeah, like
maybe when you turn twenty one, they set up a
secret j date profile to find you a nice Jewish
wife without telling you about it, And next thing you know,
suddenly you're getting DMS from some yenta the synagogue trying
to send you unsolicited mondol bread in a ziplock of
(00:24):
her homemade rugela.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
When you never asked for help in the first place. Yeah, yeah,
is good. Oh okay, he took anyway.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
One of our listeners came across a mother that was
just like that, and what was said to her is
either going to be the biggest misunderstanding ever or the
most awkward roommate conversation of all time, and you're gonna
hear it in your brand new awkward Tuesday phone call right.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
After this It's awkward, It's.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Tuesday phone call. There's certain events that always seem to
create drama. Oh yeah, we're guaranteed by the end, somebody
is probably going to be crying in a bathroom or
fist fighting out in the parking lot. We're talking bachelor
bachelorette parties, Thanksgiving dinners, and of course brooks out of
(01:22):
wedlock baby showers, Wait. What always somebody's crying at the
end of those and I drove for other people. Yeah,
but you don't normally expect to find drama while attending
your parents' work event.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
What whoa?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah, apparently not, because that's what happened to one of
our listeners, Kayla, and now she needs our help with
at awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Kayla, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Hi, thanks for having me.
Speaker 4 (01:52):

Speaker 3 (02:17):
Yeah, yeah, my dad owns the company.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Okay, okay, yes, and you can't be part of it
and have nepotism if you're not there.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I'm expected to go. So they have this big like
family day picnic for the whole company.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Ok I mean cut.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Yeah. So I'm there with my parents and they're talking
with some of my dad's coworkers. And of course they
do it. All old people do. They show each other
photos of their kids.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
I mean young parents do that too, but fine, Well yeah,
once you reach a certain age, once you have kids,
you want to show them off.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Well yeah, if you're proud of them. Sure not everybody is, Okay,
So they're showing pictures of kids.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Yeah, And there was this one woman there and she's
showing me a picture of her son, and she's saying, oh,
he's so cute, right, and he's your age and single
if you're interested.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Parents love to do that and always it took everything
in my power not to react because I recognized him.
Oh yeah, well her son has been dating my roommate
for over a year. Now, wait what.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
About her? Yeah, why is she trying to set him
up if he's in a committed relationship.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I don't know. So, like I kind of hinted to
her like, oh wow, like he's really handsome. It's hard
to imagine no girl has snatched him up. And the
woman says to me, well, he was in a relationship,
but he broke up with her six months ago, so

Speaker 4 (04:01):
And you're sure he's dating your roommate like he's been
over in the passage.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah, no, that's actually a good question.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Absolutely. Okay, she's my roommate, Like, I know what he
looks like.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Okay, hold on, not to like defend this guy, but
I have overbearing parents, and I definitely don't tell them
everything about my.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Personal you tell them anything.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
I don't tell my mom if i'm dating someone till
it's like years in.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Yeah, oh my god, I actually introduced him on the
second date.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Oh oh god.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yes, especially not with my dating life. So you have
a reason for keeping that information from his parents.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
I mean, I think Jeff might be honest something, because
it could also be what if the mom hated your
roommate and so he just lied and said, oh, we
broke up so we didn't have to hear her complain anymore.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Did she seem like a hateful woman when you were
talking to.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Her, Yes, no, No, she seemed totally nice in her
She's obviously trying to set up her son.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Yeah, that is the keystone mark of a hateful person
the life. Speaking personal experience, I'm just saying.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Yeah, maybe she hates her son.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
So wait, so did you tell your roommate about this?
Not yet.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I got his number from her phone, and I feel
like I need to talk to him first and be like,
why do your parents think that you're single? Right now?
Like what's going on?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
And you didn't bring it up to his mother?
Speaker 3 (05:26):
No, because like I again, I don't know what's going on,
but I feel like everybody should be on the same page.
And I'm putting this really awkward position of knowing but
not knowing what to do.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
It is a weird position.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
And what's your relationship like with your roommate's boyfriend.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
I mean, like, we don't hang out a lot, but
he's at our place obviously, so I see him and
we've had some good times together. But obviously this is
just a really like sticky situation.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
And the advice that you're looking to get before you
make your call to the boyfriend, it sounds like, what
what are you wanting to hear from us?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I guess, like, how do I confront him? Being like,
your mom told me that you said you were single,
but I know you're dating my roommate.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Yeah, I mean that does come across as a little accusatory.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Right after that, right, yeah, you kind of just want
to put him on the spot and see what he
has to say, how he defends himself.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Well exactly.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Sounded a little harsh. Yeah, yeah, but you know what
I mean. Put him on a pedestal. We'll put him somewhere.
We're gonna do something. We're do something with it.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Before first, we're going to give you our advice though,
right if we come back and let you make your
awkward Tuesday phone call to figure out what's really going
on with your roommate's boyfriend right after this, hold on,
it's awkward. It's it's awkward Tuesday phone call. Anyway, As
a woman, I imagine it would be the ultimate compliment
(06:58):
when an older lady he comes up to you in
public and says, Hey, you seem nice and desperate enough
to date my single son.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
How about it? No, I feel like that happened to
you all the time, broke.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
It didn't.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
You didn't seem nice enough.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
No, I don't think I've ever been nice enough for
somebody's son. But I'll just tell you the only reason
I don't think it's a compliment. Is because everyone that
my mom has ever thought was cute was. It's unlike,
we don't need to lead with personality. Mom.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Well that's the situation that one of our listeners, Kayla,
found herself in recently, and it would have been flattering
except she knew the guy from the photo that the
lady was showing her. Yeah, it's a guy who's currently
dating her roommate and has been for over a year.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Yeah, they're like in a real relationship, but just get smaller.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
But the mom's told her, no, he's single and he
has been for months.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah, so that's a giant red flag because obviously he's not.
And she never told the mom that day about it,
never brought it up to her roommate either. Instead, she's
turned to the most trusted source on the entire planet,
a radio show named Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
That's right to help her.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Can we just applaud her too for not blowing things
out of proportion before she gets an answer from the
boyfriend like that right now?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Dude, what is that?
Speaker 3 (08:24):
That's true? Thank you?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Yeah, hopefully we have some decent advice for you, Brooke,
do you have anything to.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Okay, listen, this is what you need to do. When
you call him, you be like, oh my god, I
have the funniest story to tell you. I ran into
your mom and she tried to set me up on
a date with you. Okay, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
I just feel so awkward, like and I've never really
talked to him on the phone.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Before, so I know you're like Alexis, phone calls her heart.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
But I think there's some merit to that. If you're
really nice to him, it'll make him put his guard down.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
I'm definitely gonna be nice.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Okay. We don't even know that he's in the wrong.
I think he's in the wrong already, that's true.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
I think she's just scared of silence, like Alexis would
be on the.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
You need the silence because then it forces him to talk.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Embrace the silence, and if all else fails, threatened to
release his nude photos against the laws. Last result is
what I'm saying. But I'm going to dial this guy's number.
Have we even learned his name yet?
Speaker 3 (09:26):
His name is Aaron.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Okay, scumbag, Aaron potentially scumbag? Yes, thank you, alleged potentially
he's actually.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
A good guy, you think all of them.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Okay, here we go.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I'm going to dial it and we're gonna step away.
Let you make your awkward Tuesday phone call. Will jump
in if you feel like you need a help.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Okay, Kayla, okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Okay, you got this. Here we go.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Hello, Hey Aaron, this is Kayla. How are you. Oh
hey Caylen. What's what's up?
Speaker 5 (10:09):
What's going on?
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I just something kind of funny happened the other day
and I just I just wanted to ask you about it,
if that's okay? Do you have a minute? Uh?
Speaker 6 (10:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Is everything okay?
Speaker 5 (10:25):
I mean it's it's kind of odd for you to
call me out of the blue.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Yeah, I know, I know. I normally just like to
see you, but I just I had to ask you something,
uh privately. So but yeah, if you just, if you
have a minute, can I just ask you something real fast?
Speaker 5 (10:43):
I mean, sure, what what's what's up?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Okay? So the other day, my dad's company had a
had a party and I ended up seeing your mom
there and she she showed me a photo of you
and she's like, oh, my son is single, which was
just really weird because I know you've been obviously with
my roommate, so I just wanted to like ask what
(11:10):
was going on, Like does your mom think that you're single?
Speaker 5 (11:15):
Or is that just like a mistake or something.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
So this is really funny you even asked that.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
I mean, my mom found out she was going to
your parents' party, right, And I was like, another daughter,
she's really cute, and my mom she was like, well
you should date her. I mean she's better than who
you're dating.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Oh okay, well obviously that's not true, but okay, well
I mean it is true.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
But anyways, I was like, that would be weird, mom,
you know, and she thought, you know, well you've met
my mom.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
She's like, let me try, let me try, and let
me I'll.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Talk to let me try.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
And I'm like, it's not the worst idea, right, So I.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Was like, okay, yeah, sure, wait, so hold on, I'm
trying to wrap my brain around this. You are with
my roommates, but you told your mom it was fine
to tell me you were single.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Yeah, And my mom was She's all about us. She's like,
oh yeah, a lot of fools, and you know you've
met my mom. She's very yeah, so she.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Yeah, sorry, I'm just I'm having trouble understanding.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Why come on, I mean, is it really that crazy?
Speaker 3 (12:30):
What is what crazy?
Speaker 5 (12:32):
I mean you and me? I mean, that's not so crazy?
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Right?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Are you listen?
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Serious?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Right now?
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:42):
I mean what do you what do you think?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (12:46):
What do you mean? What do I think?
Speaker 5 (12:47):
You're with my roommates temporarily?
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I mean, listen, it could be you and me.
Speaker 6 (12:56):
I mean, we we get along and then and you're
not as messy as her, and you know, listen, your
your lease is up in three months, and I figured, well,
you could just move out, get your own place, and
then we can start dating on the you know, on
the down low.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Wow, you have it all planned out so creepy.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Sorry, didn't I hit the awkward before I heard her?
I should have given her a chance.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
What are you going on?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Alexis? You're right? He is a good He's a cheater.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
I didn't see that coming.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
I got a good feeling about Yeah, I was trying
to cheat?
Speaker 3 (13:36):
What is going on?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
And you heard us? Oops?
Speaker 1 (13:40):
So guestcats out of the bag. You're on the radio
right now with a show called Brook and Jeffrey in
the morning. Dude, what no, no, no, no, no, yeah, yeah,
no no, you got you guys need no, no, you
guys need to delete this really well and send it
to your girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Yeah okay, yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
Why would you?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Guys? Why would you do this?
Speaker 4 (14:02):
It's not it's not her fault. You are your your words,
your actions.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I was just asking the question, I mean, what are
you talking about this ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
On the radio like this.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
You are the most upset innocent person I've.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Ever That's a great state.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Clearly, Aaron, you're aware that this breaks some social rules here.
Otherwise you wouldn't be as upset as you are right now.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
No, I mean, the cat's out on the bag.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
Sure, I can't it, but you can't blame a guy
for trying.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
And how Hilary you were about it, How like you
just thought she was going to go along with this?
Why would you ever think that?
Speaker 6 (14:41):
It wasn't my idea, it was my mom's ideas. Come on, Oh,
I thought about it, and I thought that's great.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Actually they do say mothers know best. Yeah, hey, honey,
you should cheat on your girlfriend. Mom is telling me to.
But I don't know what are you thinking now that you're.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Hearing all this I'm thinking that this is absolutely disgusting
and I'm absolutely gonna want.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Wait so you never thought about you and him together?
Speaker 5 (15:11):
No, that's we get a long grip.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
I was a joke, arin, dude.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Even if she was attracted you in any way, I'm
sure her friendship means way more than I know. If
you're not happy with your current girlfriend, that's okay, but
don't bounce over to the roommate is like twenty feet away.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
Especially before you've broken.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
I mean, you could, but at least.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Be single again.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Listen, it wasn't my idea.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
My mom came up with this and I just went
with it.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Man. I mean you understand that, right, Kayla.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Yeah, because what every girl wants is a guy who
can't think for himself and only has his mom to
lip and kill.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Oh so there's hope.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Okay, Well, it was definitely an awkward call, but the
good news is that Lee, the truth did come out.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
The truth was wayt spicier than I thought.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
I did not think this.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
I thought the mom.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
I mean, the mom is obviously a whack could do.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
But like I thought, I don't know, take out in
nineteen fifties and Encyclopedia.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I think it used to be.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
No, I'm just so thankful for you guys helping me out,
because otherwise I would have thought he was innocent too.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
It seemed like a misunderstanding.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
You need to go get a bottle of wine to
bring home to your roommate tonight.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
And have a good so that Daron and the roommate
can split it and have a nice evening just the
two of them.
