Speaker 1 (00:01):
Parents never post anything embarrassing on social media, right, alexis No,
I love.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Every photo my mom takes where she looks better than
me and act.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
In fact, go to my mom's Facebook page right now,
and you'll see nothing but wholesome, non politically motivated, fourteen
paragraph rants about how happy she is with the state
of the world.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Yeah, she just loves this country, he sure does.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
But one of our listeners is freaking out over what
his new step mom just put up online, and according
to him, it's not just concerning, but has potential to
literally ruin their entire family's dynamic unless he can convince.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Her to maybe take it down.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Yike, you're gonna hear why it's so controversial while we
attempt to give our best advice in your brand new
awkward Tuesday phone call right after this, It's awkward.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
It's Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Awkward family dynamics isn't a new concept now. Families have
been making things weird with each other for centuries. Yeah,
like in the fifteen hundreds when King Henry the Eighth
was literally beheading his exes while his children argued over
who got the bigger turkey leg at the wake.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
So yeah, nothing new there.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Yeah, but in.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
The modern digital age, we've unlocked brand new ways to
make things uncomfortable with your family, Which brings us to
today's call. One of our listeners, Peter's, reached out because
he's facing a particularly distressing issue with a member of
his own household and he needs our help with it.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
So, Peter, welcome to the show.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Hey, guys, how you doing it?
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Sounds like better than you?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Oh sucks to be you, Peter.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Like having a call of radio station for family drum.
It must be serious, that's all right?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Yes, okay, all right, Peter.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
We're here to support you despite the tone of how
we started this segment, But tell us what's going on
in your family life that made you reach out.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Here's the deal. My, uh, my parents separated about eight
years ago. That's fine, I think they're better off separated.
But yeah, last year, my dad was telling us that
he started dating somebody, which was kind of shocking. I mean,
he's older.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Dad's usually are older.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Yeah, No, I mean I mean like post sixty.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Yeah right.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
That was the first shocking thing. But then the second
shocking thing was we finally meet this woman and turns
out that she is my age.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Oh, how are you in your twenties or your thirties.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
I'm twenty five years younger than my father.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Okay, okay, I know, hold on, that's cute. But worry
she's taking advantage of your father.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Or is it just awkward to call her mom?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Where it was a lot of things.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Tell us where we're speculating a lot. Tell us where
your head is at.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
I mean, I mean when I met her, I thought,
I mean, she's obviously my dad seems really happy with her,
which is great, that's the most important thing. But it
was just it is really weird that they ended up.
I mean, they got married, and they got married.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Oh who Yeah, you.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Like, well, it's interesting you guys make that joke because
she makes those jokes now she's my mom now and
all that kind of thing, and I just realily makes
me uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
But yeah, if you're not in.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
On the joke, then yeah, she's trying to like lean
in and be funny, probably because she's a little uncomfortable too.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Like, yeah, I mean it's I mean, I didn't really
get to know where that much before they got married either.
But he's a grown man. He can do what he wants.
But anyway, we fast forward to recently and one of
my friends, he sends me a text saying, Hey, have
you seen your step mom's Instagram posts?
Speaker 5 (03:50):
Why it's not like an apple pie that she just baked.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I'm assuming what is he talking about?
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Her latest photo is a first trip on a photo.
So yeah, that's wrong with that.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
She's in her twenties. Yeah, she's she's feeling good about herself.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Well, I mean that's fine if she wasn't married to
a sixties something year old.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Now what so like, if you're married, you can't post
pretty pictures of yourself.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
And if your dad doesn't.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Care, why do you care? That's the thing is he's like,
not on social media. I don't even think he knows.
I mean, this is something that a single girl in
her twenties would be doing. A single girl be doing
is to get attention from other men.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
You need to grow up and understand that wives can
also post hot photos.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I don't think he's saying that the wife isn't allowed
to post a hot photo. He's saying that his father
might have an issue with her doing it.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
But you don't know that she's already showed him the pick,
or that he's approved of it or any like. It's
also like he likes it. Listen, I have a hot mom,
and sometimes people are just hot and they can't stop
themselves from being hot, you know.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Yeah, And I understand that she is an attractive woman.
I'm not saying that she can't be proud of being attractive.
It's just maybe I'm not explaining this well enough. These
photos are like bordering on inappropriate. I mean, it's not
quite only fans level, but it's.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Okay, got it.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
It's especially for someone who's in a brand new marriage
with an older man to like immediately turn around and
start posting photos that a bunch of other guys are
liking without the new husband knowing. It could cause an
issue in the family new marriage.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I think, more than anything, it's probably uncomfy that you
find your step mom hot. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Look, I didn't say hot. It's attractive.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yeah, you could.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Say she's and your guy friends follow her and send
you this picture of her.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
That's weird. I just don't want to hear words like smelt.
I don't want to hear these smell.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Are you hearing the words smellr friends or stepmom?
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Ah?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Well, clearly this is something that's bothering you and you're
worried that it would affect your dad. So what are
you hoping to do with your awkward Tuesday phone call here?
Speaker 4 (05:59):
You know, I don't want to cause drama. I just
I want to be really respectful and encourage her politely
to maybe either take it down or tone it down,
because I don't think she understands that it can be
uncomfortable for other people, not just me, like the whole family.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
I think it is brought up a good point. You
may call and she's like, oh, I showed it to
him and he said, I can post it, and this
call is never going to hit the airways.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Okay, Well, I mean it makes him uncomfortable no matter
what the dad says. I mean, that's the thing.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
And if the dad's comfortable, then he's just got to
stay uncomfortable. I mean, so we need their relationship.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
We need to give you advice on how to respectfully
have the conversation with your new step mom that her
thirst trap photos might be making people in the family
feel uncomfortable.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Yeah. I mean, like I said, I don't think it's
just me, but I really am looking out for my father.
I don't think that he would he would appreciate it.
I I really don't think he knows about it.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Okay, cool, we'll find out when we come back. We'll
give you our advice and let you call your hot
Smith mom and we'll let you make your awkward Tuesday punk.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
All that she's the same agent. You're the one who
say it's funny with us.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Okay, we'll let you say that to your mom coming up.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Right after this. Not mom, not yeah, not mom, Okay, yeah,
step mom. Sure, we'll do it after this. It's awkward.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
It's Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
It's awkward Tuesday phone call. Well, this is a new
one for us for sure. One of our listeners, Peter,
told us about an interesting family dynamic that he's dealing with,
where his dad got remarried last year to a woman
twenty five years younger, about the same age as Peter himself,
(07:40):
which obviously that's a little bit uncomfortable, he said, but
he's managing. The really weird part, though, just came up
when Peter's buddies sent him texts and photos of his
new step mom's Instagram.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
That's so ruthless.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
It's because she's posting some salacious photos of herself on there,
and Peter is worried about two things. One, his dad
is not on social media and probably doesn't know that
his new young wife is doing this, so he's trying
to protect his father and his father's feelings.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
And two, besides his dad, what would the rest of
their family think about this?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Because it could cause family drama and his new step
mom might not realize the impact that it has.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
So Peter just feels uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Everybody does, so, Peter, he doesn't want to sound judgmental
or rude about this. He just wants to politely bring
it up to his new step mom. And how does
he do it respectfully?
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Brook? Go ahead, you have the flo.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
We got to stop calling him her his step mom.
I know technically that's true, but it's not like she's
a mother figure in his life.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
What's a better term for her that you would feel
appropriate with his.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Dad's new hot wife.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Yeah, that's so much, Peter.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Are you comfortable add's new hot wife?
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Asa?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Thank you advice.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I think the way you need to approach this is
Alyssa obviously loves your father, and anyone who loves someone
wants to be accepted by that person's family of course.
So I think you take it as the angle as like, Hey,
just a heads up, I'm getting a lot of crap
about this photo from my buddies. It's very attractive, you
look great, but I just want to let you know
(09:27):
that maybe my family wouldn't be as cool as I
am with it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
I love the photos.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
I think you look sexy, but the rest of my
family they're not as cool as me.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Need to go that far, but just go the angle
of like you're trying to be a little protected, yea
from the grandma or something.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
That's actually pretty good advice. So Peter locked that in Jose,
what do you think?
Speaker 5 (09:53):
So you got to think from her perspective. Right on Instagram,
every person in the world, every guy, is just telling
her she's gorgeous. Her girlfriends in her life tell her
she's slays and she's pretty. So you may be the
first person that brings up that this is a little
inappropriate and you just need to be cautious about it, Okay.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
I mean, I can't imagine that I'm the first person
to tell her that maybe she should tell I can't
imagine that.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
I bet that's actually true.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
I'm going to imagine that that is actually.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
True, but you need you need to consider that as
a possibility. This might be the first time she's ever
got any different feedback on these photos.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
But not like that too.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Yeah, it's something to be wary of for sure.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
We'll just keep that in mind and we'll back away.
Let you make your awkward call. Thank you, all right, man,
here we go.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Hello, Hi, Alissa, it's it's Peter. How you doing.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
Oh I didn't I didn't relate, so it this you.
I thought I seved you in my phone, but I
didn't recognize the number.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
What's up? Oh yeah, I uh uh, yeah, this is
a new phone number. It's okay, you can save this
one in. But I wanted to call because I mean,
it's a little awkward for me to say. But one
of my friends brought something up to me recently. Okay, yeah,
(11:24):
they they they saw a photo that you posted on
Instagram recently, and they told me I should take a
look at it because it was.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I don't know, Hey, Peter.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
Sorry, sorry, can you hold on a second. I just
got to take something out of the oven.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
You don't even cooked. Okay, all right.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
Sorry, Sorry, I'm here. Okay, So what what happened? What's
with your friend?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Yeah, so this is kind of uncomfortable for me to
talk about with you especially, but my friends thought that
your photos might be a little little problematic as the
right word.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
But what do you mean but.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
What photos? Yeah, you're married to my dad now, and
those types of photos might be viewed as inappropriate, inappropriate?
How Oh? I don't want to get into the specifics
about it. I just god, this is oh my god.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
All right, Well you called me to complain about them,
so something in particular that you find wrong with them,
so just tell me.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Look, it's not just me. I'm also trying to look
out for you and for my dad, just like you're
you're my family now, and I mean, I'm not going
to call you my mom. You do that, but you
shouldn't be posting first trap photos for everyone to see.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Wait, hold on, I'm stuck. Do you think those are
thirst trap photos?
Speaker 4 (13:06):
I mean, you're you're barely wearing anything.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
Do you want to see a thirst trap photo.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Photo? No? I don't. If I don't want to see
anything that I've seen enough, I don't need to see worse.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
Those are team compared to like what I was posting
online two years ago.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Okay, I to hear that. I just I think about
how maybe my dad would feel, because he is not
on social media or anything, and if he was to
find out that his young, pretty wife was putting pictures
of herself like that online, I don't think he would
appreciate it. I think you'd feel weird about it, and
and like you're looking for other men. Still.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Wow, Okay, clearly you don't know your father like at all.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
I think I know him pretty well. I knew him
long before you did. Actually, so, Peter, he's the.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
One who took those photos. He told me to post
them online.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Oship.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Really, you got to train the guy.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
He's got to get the right angle too. You need
some assistance with that.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Oh my god, Waite, who are all these people? What
is happening?
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Yeah? These people?
Speaker 1 (14:21):
ALYSSA is a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in
the Morning, a show that you're.
Speaker 6 (14:25):
On right now.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
And you handled that so well?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
What Like?
Speaker 6 (14:29):
This was a radio called Peter, what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:32):
This is a segment we do called Awkward Tuesday phone called.
Peter reached out to us because he didn't know the
right way to have this conversation with you that the
photos that you posted online might make his dad and
some other people in his family feel a little bit uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
We keep saying that, but really it's just making Peter uncomfortable.
What's happening. Peter doesn't know how obviously anyone else feels,
including his father. His father was the one that told
her to do it.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Peter, your thoughts on what you just heard.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
I can't imagine that he would do that. Maybe if
they were private, like for you and him, I can't
imagine that, Yeah, put it out for the world.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Maybe your dad's Your dad's a confident man.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Obviously, you know.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
He doesn't understand social media, so he's like, sure posted
I don't know, does millions of.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
Yeah, he definitely knows social media. Like obviously he looks
at my social media with me and we're laughing at
the comments.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Oh, he's fully aware.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
I can't imagine that he would. My father's an accountant,
he's a he's a pragmatic man.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
My hot mother is an accountant, and she will tell
you that he can be very sexy.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
There's a lot of repressed emotions there then to come out.
And now your dad is in his second stage of life.
He's exploring a whole new side of himself.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
It sounds like, yeah, he's he's into photography now. Cool,
Like he's always wanted to do photography, and so I'm
helping him out. It's like a passion project, like my sunset.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
To him his news.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I mean that's what it is.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
I mean, good for you that you you look young
now and you look attractive now, and you can do
that and then be you.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Clearly a lot for Peter to process. He didn't understand
the dynamics that we're.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Just don't follow her in stuff for a little bit.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Yeah, that might be a solution if.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
It makes you feel more comfortable. I could maybe make
my profile private, Oh, you know, basically so your creepy
friends can't look at it.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
Wow, that's a big compromise.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
That's unnecessary.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
That's she calls him his creepy friends.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Okay, that sucks for all of us. But Peter, would
that make you feel more comfortable?
Speaker 4 (16:39):
I feel more comfortable about it, and I think that
I think that would help the family if they were to.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
She really is a protective step mom.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Wow, Mela.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
Yeah, and I'll make sure Peter we have another photo
shoot scheduled for next weekend, so I'll make sure it's
private by them.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
What you want, don't I don't need to hear about them.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Peter supports, and I want to follow her brooking Jeffrey
in the morning, I got a.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Text into seventy eight five nine two. It says I
want to be in Peter's stepmom's videos.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Can you pass my number on to her?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
I think that's the exact opposite of what Peter's goal
was entering his call. But hey, you snooze, you lose Pete.
You were giving the chance, you declined. Now we're offering
it up to our listeners.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Peter's stepmom and Stacy's mom, you know they're like, what
of the same?
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Oh yeah, ye.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Can we just say for the record that it's not
anybody's place to say what any person should or should
not be posting of themselves online.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I want to for the record, but I'm glad you've
come to that.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
It is.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
If the hot young moms want to post photos of themselves,
for God's sakes, do not stop them.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
What are you're crazy?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
What the hot mom's.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Post and the hot dads and the ugly moms and
the Ugly.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Dad's everybody can whatever they want.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
We need all those photos and we also need you
to help us get content. So if you're dealing with
any awkwardness in your life, email the show. We can
call that person and help you through it.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
And also follow our socials. You're not going to find
any hotness. No firsts there. Yeah, and Jeffrey
Parents never post anything embarrassing on social media, right, alexis No,
I love.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Every photo my mom takes where she looks better than
me and act.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
In fact, go to my mom's Facebook page right now,
and you'll see nothing but wholesome, non politically motivated, fourteen
paragraph rants about how happy she is with the state
of the world.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Yeah, she just loves this country, he sure does.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
But one of our listeners is freaking out over what
his new step mom just put up online, and according
to him, it's not just concerning, but has potential to
literally ruin their entire family's dynamic unless he can convince.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Her to maybe take it down.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Yike, you're gonna hear why it's so controversial while we
attempt to give our best advice in your brand new
awkward Tuesday phone call right after this, It's awkward.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
It's Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Awkward family dynamics isn't a new concept now. Families have
been making things weird with each other for centuries. Yeah,
like in the fifteen hundreds when King Henry the Eighth
was literally beheading his exes while his children argued over
who got the bigger turkey leg at the wake.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
So yeah, nothing new there.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Yeah, but in.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
The modern digital age, we've unlocked brand new ways to
make things uncomfortable with your family, Which brings us to
today's call. One of our listeners, Peter's, reached out because
he's facing a particularly distressing issue with a member of
his own household and he needs our help with it.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
So, Peter, welcome to the show.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Hey, guys, how you doing it?
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Sounds like better than you?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Oh sucks to be you, Peter.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Like having a call of radio station for family drum.
It must be serious, that's all right?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Yes, okay, all right, Peter.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
We're here to support you despite the tone of how
we started this segment, But tell us what's going on
in your family life that made you reach out.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Here's the deal. My, uh, my parents separated about eight
years ago. That's fine, I think they're better off separated.
But yeah, last year, my dad was telling us that
he started dating somebody, which was kind of shocking. I mean,
he's older.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Dad's usually are older.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Yeah, No, I mean I mean like post sixty.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Yeah right.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
That was the first shocking thing. But then the second
shocking thing was we finally meet this woman and turns
out that she is my age.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Oh, how are you in your twenties or your thirties.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
I'm twenty five years younger than my father.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Okay, okay, I know, hold on, that's cute. But worry
she's taking advantage of your father.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Or is it just awkward to call her mom?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Where it was a lot of things.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Tell us where we're speculating a lot. Tell us where
your head is at.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
I mean, I mean when I met her, I thought,
I mean, she's obviously my dad seems really happy with her,
which is great, that's the most important thing. But it
was just it is really weird that they ended up.
I mean, they got married, and they got married.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Oh who Yeah, you.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Like, well, it's interesting you guys make that joke because
she makes those jokes now she's my mom now and
all that kind of thing, and I just realily makes
me uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
But yeah, if you're not in.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
On the joke, then yeah, she's trying to like lean
in and be funny, probably because she's a little uncomfortable too.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Like, yeah, I mean it's I mean, I didn't really
get to know where that much before they got married either.
But he's a grown man. He can do what he wants.
But anyway, we fast forward to recently and one of
my friends, he sends me a text saying, Hey, have
you seen your step mom's Instagram posts?
Speaker 5 (03:50):
Why it's not like an apple pie that she just baked.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I'm assuming what is he talking about?
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Her latest photo is a first trip on a photo.
So yeah, that's wrong with that.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
She's in her twenties. Yeah, she's she's feeling good about herself.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
Well, I mean that's fine if she wasn't married to
a sixties something year old.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Now what so like, if you're married, you can't post
pretty pictures of yourself.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
And if your dad doesn't.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Care, why do you care? That's the thing is he's like,
not on social media. I don't even think he knows.
I mean, this is something that a single girl in
her twenties would be doing. A single girl be doing
is to get attention from other men.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
You need to grow up and understand that wives can
also post hot photos.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I don't think he's saying that the wife isn't allowed
to post a hot photo. He's saying that his father
might have an issue with her doing it.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
But you don't know that she's already showed him the pick,
or that he's approved of it or any like. It's
also like he likes it. Listen, I have a hot mom,
and sometimes people are just hot and they can't stop
themselves from being hot, you know.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Yeah, And I understand that she is an attractive woman.
I'm not saying that she can't be proud of being attractive.
It's just maybe I'm not explaining this well enough. These
photos are like bordering on inappropriate. I mean, it's not
quite only fans level, but it's.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Okay, got it.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
It's especially for someone who's in a brand new marriage
with an older man to like immediately turn around and
start posting photos that a bunch of other guys are
liking without the new husband knowing. It could cause an
issue in the family new marriage.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I think, more than anything, it's probably uncomfy that you
find your step mom hot. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Look, I didn't say hot. It's attractive.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yeah, you could.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Say she's and your guy friends follow her and send
you this picture of her.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
That's weird. I just don't want to hear words like smelt.
I don't want to hear these smell.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Are you hearing the words smellr friends or stepmom?
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Ah?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Well, clearly this is something that's bothering you and you're
worried that it would affect your dad. So what are
you hoping to do with your awkward Tuesday phone call here?
Speaker 4 (05:59):
You know, I don't want to cause drama. I just
I want to be really respectful and encourage her politely
to maybe either take it down or tone it down,
because I don't think she understands that it can be
uncomfortable for other people, not just me, like the whole family.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
I think it is brought up a good point. You
may call and she's like, oh, I showed it to
him and he said, I can post it, and this
call is never going to hit the airways.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Okay, Well, I mean it makes him uncomfortable no matter
what the dad says. I mean, that's the thing.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
And if the dad's comfortable, then he's just got to
stay uncomfortable. I mean, so we need their relationship.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
We need to give you advice on how to respectfully
have the conversation with your new step mom that her
thirst trap photos might be making people in the family
feel uncomfortable.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Yeah. I mean, like I said, I don't think it's
just me, but I really am looking out for my father.
I don't think that he would he would appreciate it.
I I really don't think he knows about it.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Okay, cool, we'll find out when we come back. We'll
give you our advice and let you call your hot
Smith mom and we'll let you make your awkward Tuesday punk.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
All that she's the same agent. You're the one who
say it's funny with us.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Okay, we'll let you say that to your mom coming up.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Right after this. Not mom, not yeah, not mom, Okay, yeah,
step mom. Sure, we'll do it after this. It's awkward.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
It's Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
It's awkward Tuesday phone call. Well, this is a new
one for us for sure. One of our listeners, Peter,
told us about an interesting family dynamic that he's dealing with,
where his dad got remarried last year to a woman
twenty five years younger, about the same age as Peter himself,
(07:40):
which obviously that's a little bit uncomfortable, he said, but
he's managing. The really weird part, though, just came up
when Peter's buddies sent him texts and photos of his
new step mom's Instagram.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
That's so ruthless.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
It's because she's posting some salacious photos of herself on there,
and Peter is worried about two things. One, his dad
is not on social media and probably doesn't know that
his new young wife is doing this, so he's trying
to protect his father and his father's feelings.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
And two, besides his dad, what would the rest of
their family think about this?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Because it could cause family drama and his new step
mom might not realize the impact that it has.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
So Peter just feels uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Everybody does, so, Peter, he doesn't want to sound judgmental
or rude about this. He just wants to politely bring
it up to his new step mom. And how does
he do it respectfully?
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Brook? Go ahead, you have the flo.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
We got to stop calling him her his step mom.
I know technically that's true, but it's not like she's
a mother figure in his life.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
What's a better term for her that you would feel
appropriate with his.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Dad's new hot wife.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Yeah, that's so much, Peter.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Are you comfortable add's new hot wife?
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Asa?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Thank you advice.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I think the way you need to approach this is
Alyssa obviously loves your father, and anyone who loves someone
wants to be accepted by that person's family of course.
So I think you take it as the angle as like, Hey,
just a heads up, I'm getting a lot of crap
about this photo from my buddies. It's very attractive, you
look great, but I just want to let you know
(09:27):
that maybe my family wouldn't be as cool as I
am with it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
I love the photos.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
I think you look sexy, but the rest of my
family they're not as cool as me.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Need to go that far, but just go the angle
of like you're trying to be a little protected, yea
from the grandma or something.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
That's actually pretty good advice. So Peter locked that in Jose,
what do you think?
Speaker 5 (09:53):
So you got to think from her perspective. Right on Instagram,
every person in the world, every guy, is just telling
her she's gorgeous. Her girlfriends in her life tell her
she's slays and she's pretty. So you may be the
first person that brings up that this is a little
inappropriate and you just need to be cautious about it, Okay.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
I mean, I can't imagine that I'm the first person
to tell her that maybe she should tell I can't
imagine that.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
I bet that's actually true.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
I'm going to imagine that that is actually.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
True, but you need you need to consider that as
a possibility. This might be the first time she's ever
got any different feedback on these photos.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
But not like that too.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Yeah, it's something to be wary of for sure.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
We'll just keep that in mind and we'll back away.
Let you make your awkward call. Thank you, all right, man,
here we go.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Hello, Hi, Alissa, it's it's Peter. How you doing.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
Oh I didn't I didn't relate, so it this you.
I thought I seved you in my phone, but I
didn't recognize the number.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
What's up? Oh yeah, I uh uh, yeah, this is
a new phone number. It's okay, you can save this
one in. But I wanted to call because I mean,
it's a little awkward for me to say. But one
of my friends brought something up to me recently. Okay, yeah,
(11:24):
they they they saw a photo that you posted on
Instagram recently, and they told me I should take a
look at it because it was.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I don't know, Hey, Peter.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
Sorry, sorry, can you hold on a second. I just
got to take something out of the oven.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
You don't even cooked. Okay, all right.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
Sorry, Sorry, I'm here. Okay, So what what happened? What's
with your friend?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Yeah, so this is kind of uncomfortable for me to
talk about with you especially, but my friends thought that
your photos might be a little little problematic as the
right word.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
But what do you mean but.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
What photos? Yeah, you're married to my dad now, and
those types of photos might be viewed as inappropriate, inappropriate?
How Oh? I don't want to get into the specifics
about it. I just god, this is oh my god.
Speaker 6 (12:31):
All right, Well you called me to complain about them,
so something in particular that you find wrong with them,
so just tell me.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Look, it's not just me. I'm also trying to look
out for you and for my dad, just like you're
you're my family now, and I mean, I'm not going
to call you my mom. You do that, but you
shouldn't be posting first trap photos for everyone to see.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Wait, hold on, I'm stuck. Do you think those are
thirst trap photos?
Speaker 4 (13:06):
I mean, you're you're barely wearing anything.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
Do you want to see a thirst trap photo.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Photo? No? I don't. If I don't want to see
anything that I've seen enough, I don't need to see worse.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
Those are team compared to like what I was posting
online two years ago.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Okay, I to hear that. I just I think about
how maybe my dad would feel, because he is not
on social media or anything, and if he was to
find out that his young, pretty wife was putting pictures
of herself like that online, I don't think he would
appreciate it. I think you'd feel weird about it, and
and like you're looking for other men. Still.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Wow, Okay, clearly you don't know your father like at all.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
I think I know him pretty well. I knew him
long before you did. Actually, so, Peter, he's the.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
One who took those photos. He told me to post
them online.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Oship.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Really, you got to train the guy.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
He's got to get the right angle too. You need
some assistance with that.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Oh my god, Waite, who are all these people? What
is happening?
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Yeah? These people?
Speaker 1 (14:21):
ALYSSA is a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in
the Morning, a show that you're.
Speaker 6 (14:25):
On right now.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
And you handled that so well?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
What Like?
Speaker 6 (14:29):
This was a radio called Peter, what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:32):
This is a segment we do called Awkward Tuesday phone called.
Peter reached out to us because he didn't know the
right way to have this conversation with you that the
photos that you posted online might make his dad and
some other people in his family feel a little bit uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
We keep saying that, but really it's just making Peter uncomfortable.
What's happening. Peter doesn't know how obviously anyone else feels,
including his father. His father was the one that told
her to do it.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Peter, your thoughts on what you just heard.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
I can't imagine that he would do that. Maybe if
they were private, like for you and him, I can't
imagine that, Yeah, put it out for the world.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Maybe your dad's Your dad's a confident man.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Obviously, you know.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
He doesn't understand social media, so he's like, sure posted
I don't know, does millions of.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
Yeah, he definitely knows social media. Like obviously he looks
at my social media with me and we're laughing at
the comments.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Oh, he's fully aware.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
I can't imagine that he would. My father's an accountant,
he's a he's a pragmatic man.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
My hot mother is an accountant, and she will tell
you that he can be very sexy.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
There's a lot of repressed emotions there then to come out.
And now your dad is in his second stage of life.
He's exploring a whole new side of himself.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
It sounds like, yeah, he's he's into photography now. Cool,
Like he's always wanted to do photography, and so I'm
helping him out. It's like a passion project, like my sunset.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
To him his news.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I mean that's what it is.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
I mean, good for you that you you look young
now and you look attractive now, and you can do
that and then be you.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Clearly a lot for Peter to process. He didn't understand
the dynamics that we're.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Just don't follow her in stuff for a little bit.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Yeah, that might be a solution if.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
It makes you feel more comfortable. I could maybe make
my profile private, Oh, you know, basically so your creepy
friends can't look at it.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
Wow, that's a big compromise.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
That's unnecessary.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
That's she calls him his creepy friends.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Okay, that sucks for all of us. But Peter, would
that make you feel more comfortable?
Speaker 4 (16:39):
I feel more comfortable about it, and I think that
I think that would help the family if they were to.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
She really is a protective step mom.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Wow, Mela.
Speaker 6 (16:49):
Yeah, and I'll make sure Peter we have another photo
shoot scheduled for next weekend, so I'll make sure it's
private by them.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
What you want, don't I don't need to hear about them.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Peter supports, and I want to follow her brooking Jeffrey
in the morning, I got a.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Text into seventy eight five nine two. It says I
want to be in Peter's stepmom's videos.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Can you pass my number on to her?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
I think that's the exact opposite of what Peter's goal
was entering his call. But hey, you snooze, you lose Pete.
You were giving the chance, you declined. Now we're offering
it up to our listeners.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Peter's stepmom and Stacy's mom, you know they're like, what
of the same?
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Oh yeah, ye.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Can we just say for the record that it's not
anybody's place to say what any person should or should
not be posting of themselves online.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I want to for the record, but I'm glad you've
come to that.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
It is.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
If the hot young moms want to post photos of themselves,
for God's sakes, do not stop them.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
What are you're crazy?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
What the hot mom's.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Post and the hot dads and the ugly moms and
the Ugly.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Dad's everybody can whatever they want.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
We need all those photos and we also need you
to help us get content. So if you're dealing with
any awkwardness in your life, email the show. We can
call that person and help you through it.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
And also follow our socials. You're not going to find
any hotness. No firsts there. Yeah, and Jeffrey
