Speaker 2 (00:38):
In the world.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Stand up Joseph, because you count too.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
It's really hard not to like someone named jose. I've
never met anyone I didn't like.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Name hose controversial.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
I feel like there's a lot of people that don't
like Jose.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
No, I love you, you're the best. I'm not the best.
All right, here we go. Awkward Tuesday starts now.
Speaker 5 (00:57):
It happens in movies and reality TV shows all the time.
People meddling in the dating lives of their other friends.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Oh yeah, in real life all the time, you know, is.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
It okay to do that? Because if it is? And Brook,
after this is over, Alexis says, she has some thoughts
on your current situationship with.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
The guy that you live with, just if you're open
to them it's a marriage.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Yeah, okay, but Brook's life aside. We are about to
do some love life meddling today because one of our
listeners swears she has a really, really good reason she
needs to stop her close friend from going out on
a blind date and she wants our help to block it.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
I know you're skeptical, but you might be on her
side when you hear why in a brand new Awkward
Tuesday phone call. Next, It's awkward, It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday.
As an adult going out with high schoolers. Bad idea,
terrible idea. Get word, that's what I said, bad idea?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
So DoD Chalantley though.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
What about going out with people you knew from back
when you were in high school? Is that okay?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Totally different?
Speaker 5 (02:22):
Well, one of our listeners, Carrie says, absolutely not. What
terrible horrible idea to date your old high school class mate.
Apparently that's why she needs our help today, Carrie, Welcome
to the show. Hi thinks sounds like high school drama
is still following you right into adulthood.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Huh yeah, it's weird. And let me just let me
just specify. I'm not opposed to other people dating people
that they knew in high school, but not my friend Justin.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Oh, just Justin.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
So it's not even other people from your high school.
It's just Justin.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
This is a special case. What's going on with Justin?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Okay? So just and our friends, we've been friends, like
you said, since high school. We're now in our late twenties.
Speaker 7 (03:05):
Okay, And the other.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Day he told me, hey, I'm going on a date.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
You can't even imagine who I'm going to date with.
And it turned out to be this girl we knew
in high school, Catalina Leana.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
What's with Catalina?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Well, she was the awkward girl. She was like kind
of like science peaky, a little.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Still bullying, the awkward girl in high school. Are we
over that?
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Oh no, no, no, no, Like she knew she was awkward.
She was like the awkward smart science. Ye girl, listen,
I was a little awkward. It's just I was able
to play it off better than she was.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
You must have had somebody at your school who was
like that at handling their mess and that was the awkward.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Why are you better at chemistry? That was our chemistry class?
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Right, Yeah, in about that. So that's bad news that
your friend might be going out with your awkward kid
from high school.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Well, I'm going to give you a little more backstory
before I tell you why that's bad. Okay, he got
hooked up through another friend of ours from high school
who was connected. She had a crush on him from
high school. Blah blah blah blah. So they like got
each other's phone numbers. We're talking. He still has no
clue what she looks like. No one could find her
on social media. Well I was curious, and I discovered
(04:32):
that her parents got divorced and she took her mom's
maiden name. So I found her on social media under
her maiden name.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Okay, snooping, So why are you doing all this work?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
He's just going out on.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
A date because she's gorgeous. I mean, she's like Scarlet
Johansson Britain's met.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
That's amazing. Why is it bad? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Generally that is great for her. I'm happy for her,
But here's the same guys. I don't want him to know,
but I'm I kind of have a thing for Justin.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
It we've known each other for so long.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
It just a few years ago started, and I'm not
ready for him to know. I need more time. But
if he gets put in front of this girl, I
have no chance.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
This is why it was.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Good being nerdier in high school, because she actually has
probably a cool personality too.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Oh, they're not helping, Jose. I mean you sounded petty
and I get why you're jealous. Can you admit it
that all makes sense?
Speaker 5 (05:36):
No?
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Yeah, I just I don't think I could compete.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Okay, you don't want Justin going out with the now
pretty girl? Is Justin the type of guy that's into
pretty women?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Or is there any guy that's not into pretty women?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Sorry, no, please, I'd prefer an ugly, stupid woman.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
So wait, what do you want to do though?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Do you just finally want to tell him how you
feel before he goes out with her?
Speaker 3 (05:58):
No, I'm not ready at I need more time, but
I just need this figure out to convince him not
to go out with her.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Oh oh, you could just stay in this like nothing zone,
but I have a crush.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Okah, I mean this is tricky, Like Alexis, what do
you think about this situation, trying to stop your friend
from going out with somebody hotter?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I don't know if it's the nicest thing to do,
but I would do it probably myself too.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yeah, but why didn't you just tell the guy that
you like him? Yeah, Like, you're in your late twenties
at this point, you got to shoot your shot. How
many decades have you been waiting?
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Maybe she's waiting till he gets married and then divorced,
so that his confidence is so low he'll settle for anything.
That could be a good strategy.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah, what if he likes you too, and you guys
are both just living in this world of not telling
each other.
Speaker 7 (06:48):
Well, I haven't.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
I mean that's kind of why I feel like I
need a little more time, Like I haven't really tried
to look for the signals and stuff, Like.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
I'm like lighting the fire. Now you realize, Oh, he's
not going to be single.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
For fully like him until he found somebody hotter. And smarter.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yeah yeah, listen, let me say, like he stated, other girls,
and this is going to make me sound really superficial,
but they didn't feel like competition to me, and so
I don't think that I really realized it until like
a woman came along that would totally blow me out
of the water. Now I wouldn't have a chance.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
Okay, now the gloves are coming off this.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
What do you want our help doing?
Speaker 6 (07:30):
Then?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Like, are we calling Justin and telling him not to
go out with her?
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Yeah? Yeah, this is convincing Justin not to go out
with her, telling them that you like him exactly.
Speaker 8 (07:41):
Okay, chances that's all our job to come up with
a way to convince Justin to cancel his date with
the now gorgeous looking Catalina without letting her know that
she's gorgeous.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Okay, listen, you don't have to keep rubbing in how
gorgeous she is. I get. I obviously know what I've
seen her.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I don't think you can be named Catalina without being
absolutely drop gorgeous.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
She's not gorgeous, She's just stunning. And we're going to
Justin to not go out with her. We'll give us
a little bit of advice and let you make your
awkward Tuesday phone call right after this. It's awkward, it's Tuesday.
It's awkward Tuesday phone call. If you're just joining us
for this awkward Tuesday phone call, it's a story that
(08:30):
really speaks to my soul. The awkward kid in high
school who was maybe a little shy, did school plays
and chess club, and during field trips he would crawl
underneath the seats on the bus and then pop up
from below and say guess who. They were completely undateable
back then, but a few years ago by and now
(08:53):
they've matured mentally and physically.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I feel like you still do that bus thing.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
And that ugly duckling has grown into an undeniable, bubbling
cauldron of raw desire. That's acid, it's undeniable. And your listener, Carrie,
she's not that person. She's actually kind of threatened by
that person. That's why she wants our help to stop
her friend Justin from going out with the awkward girl
(09:23):
from high school who's now blossomed into the female me.
Why why did you want to do that, Jeff? Because
I mean, secretly, she does have some feelings for justin,
but isn't ready to tell him that Carrie. Your goal
is to convince him to not go out with.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Her, right, yeah, exactly?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
All right?
Speaker 5 (09:41):
But how are we gonna do that? I think Jose
has an idea for you.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Yeah, so look, we kind of want him to just
naturally not like her anymore and pass up on the date.
We have to do the old fashioned high school trick, start.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
A rumor about her.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (09:58):
I heard she made out with her and it wasn't
that long ago.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
Are you that brother's review of the kids was not good?
Speaker 3 (10:10):
You are the words I mean. I think it would
be effective, but that's the little.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
Means that's gross. We're gonna You're gonna have to play
a little bit dirty to get what you want. What
do you think, bro?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Okay, listen, I don't think it's about putting the hot
girl down.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I think it's about building him up. He doesn't even
know this girl is hot.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
All you need to say is, listen, you are so hot,
you're so beyond blind.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Dates like so above that. Then you tell.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Him I have the most gorgeous friend ever that I
have to set you up with. She's funny, she's everything
you've ever been looking for like that.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I can't tell you who it is.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
It's Brooke. She wants to go with your guy.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Competition and then you drop it on him later when
you're ready that the mysterious perfect woman is you?
Speaker 5 (11:01):
Oh wow?
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Like what if I meet him at a restaurant, I'm
the one that walks in, Then I have to deal
with the potential rejection of him being like, what are
you doing here?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
All guy friends want to sleep with their girlfriends.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
There is Brooks advice just sleep around. All right, let's
just give him a call and we're gonna let you
make your awkward Tuesday phone call and try and convince
him not to go out on his date. We're here,
We're here for you, all right, We're down the number
right now?
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Okay, good luck?
Speaker 6 (11:47):
Hello? Hey, how's it going? Hey care? Bara? What's going on?
Speaker 3 (11:54):

to work? What's up?
Speaker 1 (12:00):

Speaker 7 (12:01):
She wanted to chat say hey, oh, did Billy get
a hold of you?
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Yeah? I assume you're talking about the blind date that
I mentioned the other day.
Speaker 7 (12:12):

doing all kinds of neat things right now, and I
don't know, I just figured, what the hell? Yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
You know, this is kind of weird. But I kind
of heard something really random recently about.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
Her, like a rumor, A rumor, what are you talking about?
Speaker 7 (12:44):
Okay, so I heard that she was at a party
like a month ago and kind of made out with
their brother.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
What where did you hear this?
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (12:57):
I don't know, just randomly.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
Randomly what?
Speaker 7 (13:03):
Yeah, I don't know. But like, blind needs are really weird,
aren't they? Like, are you sure you really wanted a
blind date? I mean you're so cool and like you're
good looking, and you really want to like go through
the awkwardness of a blind date and all that.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
Well, I mean it's just a blind date. I'm not
going to marry the girl. Just figured meet up for
a cup of coffee then just talk, you know, you
know what?
Speaker 7 (13:27):
How about this? Like I have a friend, she's awesome,
she's great, she's super hot. What have I set you.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Up with her? Instead?
Speaker 6 (13:36):
You you want to set me up on a blind date.
Speaker 7 (13:40):
No, it's not a blind date because I've seen her
and I know her well. But like Helen, and no
one has seen her.
Speaker 9 (13:45):
None of us is like talk to her in a
long time. I mean, I guess you guys have been texting.
That's something, but like you.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
Know, I don't know. This might be better.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
Well, tell me about this friend of yours.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
I mean, she was great, you know, like you would.
I think you really like her. She's you would totally
get along. I know you guys have a lot in common,
and I know one hundred percent that she does not
make out with her brother at party.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
I certainly hope not.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Laughing too hard?
Speaker 6 (14:28):
Justin, Hey, justin, Well, are you at a party or something?
What's all that laughter?
Speaker 5 (14:37):
I think we're kind of a party. We're we're a
morning radio show. Justin called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Why did you go.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
With Thodays Advice?
Speaker 5 (14:45):
I thought that was solid, though.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
I am so lost right now.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
You're on the radio right now, man, Okay, we're doing
a segment called an Awkward Tuesday phone Call. Carrie reached
out wanting a little bit of help to talk to
you about your upcoming blind date with this girl. We're
not so sure it's a good idea for you to go.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
Out with her because of the brother thing or I.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Mean, that's just one of many many.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Reasons, because car Carrie does have someone really cool that
she wants to set you up with.
Speaker 6 (15:21):
Harry, What exactly is going on here? This is is
a little weird.
Speaker 10 (15:25):
Okay, listen, justin, I I haven't been super honest with you.
I have not been the best friend in the sense
that I discovered Katalina's social.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
Media, and well you found her social media. What does
she look like?
Speaker 5 (15:44):
That sound is probably all you need to know.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Just new rumor coming in. I hear she looks like
oscar the Grouse, like a muppet whatever.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Who cares what she looks like. You're not the type
of guy that bases a relationship on looks. Are you?
Just come on?
Speaker 6 (16:00):
Like I said, at the very least, we would just
get a cup of coffee and catch up a little bit.
That doesn't mean we go on the second date or anything.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Yeah, it starts with coffee drinking. Next thing you know,
brothers are kissing.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Okay, I don't feel like any of this is helping you. Guys,
did you.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Need to do the thing?
Speaker 7 (16:17):
I mean, okay, okay, I think this has become too
much of an awkward quagmire for me not to say
the thing that I have been trying to not say.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Say the thing.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
Carrie, what thing?
Speaker 7 (16:29):
What?
Speaker 6 (16:29):
I still don't know what the hell is going on here?
Speaker 7 (16:34):
We have such a good connection, and I just kind
of wondering if, like, maybe there's a mutual attraction beyond
friendship between us.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
It is, m what do you think?
Speaker 6 (16:49):
So you dragged me through a whole radio show to
finally spill the beams here.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Be maybe she was nervous.
Speaker 7 (16:58):
Obviously, I realize now this is not the.
Speaker 9 (17:01):
Right way to do it. I just I just thought
it like maybe we needed some more organic time to
let it evolve. But then I saw Katalina and I
would have no chance if you met her.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
That is not true, justin don't you think that Carrie
is amazing? Could you see something more between you two?
Speaker 6 (17:20):
Have you ever picked I wouldn't have been friends with
her for the last decade if I didn't think she
was amazing. You We've talked about this, you always you
know undersell yourself, see, and to be perfectly honest, Yeah,
I think you kind of went about this the wrong way.
Is so finally getting this out in the open. But hey,
might make a great story for our first date.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
So justin you're into the idea of maybe going out
with Carrie here, not a friend date, like a romantic date.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
I wouldn't mind one bit.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Really it sounds justin like you have liked her for
a long time.
Speaker 6 (17:57):
To be probably honest, I have.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Yeah, Oh my god, I.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
Was afraid that I was in the but you know,
I just kind of I just you know, like you said,
we've been friends for a long time. I didn't know
how you felt, so I didn't want to like ruin
a good thing.
Speaker 7 (18:10):
But yeah, both kind of been idiots.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
In all of our years here. I never thought brooks
advice of just sleep with all of your friends what's
the worst happen would actually work. Good job, bro, you
gonna find out.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Brooking Jeffrey in the morning. Actually, I think that one
was really cute. Yeah, we were. I had an update
from them.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
I mean a lot of drama to just ask someone
out that you've known for a long.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Yeah, it's true.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Just telling your closest friend.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Hey, I have a crush on you.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Crossing that borders hard.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
They can't kiss you. That's what I'm straight.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
For, straight for it after ten years of friendship.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Yeah, Bill, the first time I kissed one of my
best friends, Oh this is I was like sixteen, right,
and it was like my second kiss I'd ever had
and the first one went horribly wrong. So this one
was really good and I got so excited.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
I high fived him afterwards.
Speaker 8 (19:14):
Oh, I was like.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
And he was like, she goes Brooke, don't ever do
that again. You're close enough he could tell you that.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yeah, he's still one of my best buddies.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Yeah, so any this couple, Pa, I think what I think.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
What this is is if you have a crush, just
tell him all right, there's nothing, yeah, friendship and then
when that backfires, call us okay and we'll do it
another awkward Tuesday for you, or you can always submit

Speaker 2 (01:18):
The guy that you live with, just if you're open
to them it's a marriage.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Yeah, okay, but Brook's life aside. We are about to
do some love life meddling today because one of our
listeners swears she has a really, really good reason she
needs to stop her close friend from going out on
a blind date and she wants our help to block it.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
I know you're skeptical, but you might be on her
side when you hear why in a brand new Awkward
Tuesday phone call. Next, It's awkward, It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday.
As an adult going out with high schoolers. Bad idea,
terrible idea. Get word, that's what I said, bad idea?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
So DoD Chalantley though.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
What about going out with people you knew from back
when you were in high school? Is that okay?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Totally different?
Speaker 5 (02:22):
Well, one of our listeners, Carrie says, absolutely not. What
terrible horrible idea to date your old high school class mate.
Apparently that's why she needs our help today, Carrie, Welcome
to the show. Hi thinks sounds like high school drama
is still following you right into adulthood.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Huh yeah, it's weird. And let me just let me
just specify. I'm not opposed to other people dating people
that they knew in high school, but not my friend Justin.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Oh, just Justin.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
So it's not even other people from your high school.
It's just Justin.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
This is a special case. What's going on with Justin?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Okay? So just and our friends, we've been friends, like
you said, since high school. We're now in our late twenties.
Speaker 7 (03:05):
Okay, And the other.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Day he told me, hey, I'm going on a date.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
You can't even imagine who I'm going to date with.
And it turned out to be this girl we knew
in high school, Catalina Leana.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
What's with Catalina?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Well, she was the awkward girl. She was like kind
of like science peaky, a little.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Still bullying, the awkward girl in high school. Are we
over that?
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Oh no, no, no, no, Like she knew she was awkward.
She was like the awkward smart science. Ye girl, listen,
I was a little awkward. It's just I was able
to play it off better than she was.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
You must have had somebody at your school who was
like that at handling their mess and that was the awkward.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Why are you better at chemistry? That was our chemistry class?
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Right, Yeah, in about that. So that's bad news that
your friend might be going out with your awkward kid
from high school.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Well, I'm going to give you a little more backstory
before I tell you why that's bad. Okay, he got
hooked up through another friend of ours from high school
who was connected. She had a crush on him from
high school. Blah blah blah blah. So they like got
each other's phone numbers. We're talking. He still has no
clue what she looks like. No one could find her
on social media. Well I was curious, and I discovered
(04:32):
that her parents got divorced and she took her mom's
maiden name. So I found her on social media under
her maiden name.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Okay, snooping, So why are you doing all this work?
Speaker 2 (04:43):
He's just going out on.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
A date because she's gorgeous. I mean, she's like Scarlet
Johansson Britain's met.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
That's amazing. Why is it bad? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Generally that is great for her. I'm happy for her,
But here's the same guys. I don't want him to know,
but I'm I kind of have a thing for Justin.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
It we've known each other for so long.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
It just a few years ago started, and I'm not
ready for him to know. I need more time. But
if he gets put in front of this girl, I
have no chance.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
This is why it was.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Good being nerdier in high school, because she actually has
probably a cool personality too.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Oh, they're not helping, Jose. I mean you sounded petty
and I get why you're jealous. Can you admit it
that all makes sense?
Speaker 5 (05:36):
No?
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Yeah, I just I don't think I could compete.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Okay, you don't want Justin going out with the now
pretty girl? Is Justin the type of guy that's into
pretty women?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Or is there any guy that's not into pretty women?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Sorry, no, please, I'd prefer an ugly, stupid woman.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
So wait, what do you want to do though?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Do you just finally want to tell him how you
feel before he goes out with her?
Speaker 3 (05:58):
No, I'm not ready at I need more time, but
I just need this figure out to convince him not
to go out with her.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Oh oh, you could just stay in this like nothing zone,
but I have a crush.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Okah, I mean this is tricky, Like Alexis, what do
you think about this situation, trying to stop your friend
from going out with somebody hotter?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I don't know if it's the nicest thing to do,
but I would do it probably myself too.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yeah, but why didn't you just tell the guy that
you like him? Yeah, Like, you're in your late twenties
at this point, you got to shoot your shot. How
many decades have you been waiting?
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Maybe she's waiting till he gets married and then divorced,
so that his confidence is so low he'll settle for anything.
That could be a good strategy.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah, what if he likes you too, and you guys
are both just living in this world of not telling
each other.
Speaker 7 (06:48):
Well, I haven't.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
I mean that's kind of why I feel like I
need a little more time, Like I haven't really tried
to look for the signals and stuff, Like.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
I'm like lighting the fire. Now you realize, Oh, he's
not going to be single.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
For fully like him until he found somebody hotter. And smarter.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yeah yeah, listen, let me say, like he stated, other girls,
and this is going to make me sound really superficial,
but they didn't feel like competition to me, and so
I don't think that I really realized it until like
a woman came along that would totally blow me out
of the water. Now I wouldn't have a chance.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
Okay, now the gloves are coming off this.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
What do you want our help doing?
Speaker 6 (07:30):
Then?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Like, are we calling Justin and telling him not to
go out with her?
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Yeah? Yeah, this is convincing Justin not to go out
with her, telling them that you like him exactly.
Speaker 8 (07:41):
Okay, chances that's all our job to come up with
a way to convince Justin to cancel his date with
the now gorgeous looking Catalina without letting her know that
she's gorgeous.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Okay, listen, you don't have to keep rubbing in how
gorgeous she is. I get. I obviously know what I've
seen her.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I don't think you can be named Catalina without being
absolutely drop gorgeous.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
She's not gorgeous, She's just stunning. And we're going to
Justin to not go out with her. We'll give us
a little bit of advice and let you make your
awkward Tuesday phone call right after this. It's awkward, it's Tuesday.
It's awkward Tuesday phone call. If you're just joining us
for this awkward Tuesday phone call, it's a story that
(08:30):
really speaks to my soul. The awkward kid in high
school who was maybe a little shy, did school plays
and chess club, and during field trips he would crawl
underneath the seats on the bus and then pop up
from below and say guess who. They were completely undateable
back then, but a few years ago by and now
(08:53):
they've matured mentally and physically.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I feel like you still do that bus thing.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
And that ugly duckling has grown into an undeniable, bubbling
cauldron of raw desire. That's acid, it's undeniable. And your listener, Carrie,
she's not that person. She's actually kind of threatened by
that person. That's why she wants our help to stop
her friend Justin from going out with the awkward girl
(09:23):
from high school who's now blossomed into the female me.
Why why did you want to do that, Jeff? Because
I mean, secretly, she does have some feelings for justin,
but isn't ready to tell him that Carrie. Your goal
is to convince him to not go out with.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Her, right, yeah, exactly?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
All right?
Speaker 5 (09:41):
But how are we gonna do that? I think Jose
has an idea for you.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Yeah, so look, we kind of want him to just
naturally not like her anymore and pass up on the date.
We have to do the old fashioned high school trick, start.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
A rumor about her.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (09:58):
I heard she made out with her and it wasn't
that long ago.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
Are you that brother's review of the kids was not good?
Speaker 3 (10:10):
You are the words I mean. I think it would
be effective, but that's the little.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
Means that's gross. We're gonna You're gonna have to play
a little bit dirty to get what you want. What
do you think, bro?
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Okay, listen, I don't think it's about putting the hot
girl down.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I think it's about building him up. He doesn't even
know this girl is hot.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
All you need to say is, listen, you are so hot,
you're so beyond blind.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Dates like so above that. Then you tell.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Him I have the most gorgeous friend ever that I
have to set you up with. She's funny, she's everything
you've ever been looking for like that.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I can't tell you who it is.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
It's Brooke. She wants to go with your guy.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Competition and then you drop it on him later when
you're ready that the mysterious perfect woman is you?
Speaker 5 (11:01):
Oh wow?
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Like what if I meet him at a restaurant, I'm
the one that walks in, Then I have to deal
with the potential rejection of him being like, what are
you doing here?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
All guy friends want to sleep with their girlfriends.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
There is Brooks advice just sleep around. All right, let's
just give him a call and we're gonna let you
make your awkward Tuesday phone call and try and convince
him not to go out on his date. We're here,
We're here for you, all right, We're down the number
right now?
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Okay, good luck?
Speaker 6 (11:47):
Hello? Hey, how's it going? Hey care? Bara? What's going on?
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Not much? How are you doing?
Speaker 6 (11:56):

to work? What's up?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (12:01):
You know?
Speaker 7 (12:01):
She wanted to chat say hey, oh, did Billy get
a hold of you?
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Yeah? I assume you're talking about the blind date that
I mentioned the other day.
Speaker 7 (12:12):
No, no, no, I just meant about hanging out next weekend.
Oh yeah, we're gonna Now that you mention it, are
you Are you still doing that.
Speaker 6 (12:20):
He's still going to hang out with I mean, I'm
very I'm very curious. I mean, he mentioned that Catalina's
doing all kinds of neat things right now, and I
don't know, I just figured, what the hell? Yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
You know, this is kind of weird. But I kind
of heard something really random recently about.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
Her, like a rumor, A rumor, what are you talking about?
Speaker 7 (12:44):
Okay, so I heard that she was at a party
like a month ago and kind of made out with
their brother.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
What where did you hear this?
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (12:57):
I don't know, just randomly.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
Randomly what?
Speaker 7 (13:03):
Yeah, I don't know. But like, blind needs are really weird,
aren't they? Like, are you sure you really wanted a
blind date? I mean you're so cool and like you're
good looking, and you really want to like go through
the awkwardness of a blind date and all that.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
Well, I mean it's just a blind date. I'm not
going to marry the girl. Just figured meet up for
a cup of coffee then just talk, you know, you
know what?
Speaker 7 (13:27):
How about this? Like I have a friend, she's awesome,
she's great, she's super hot. What have I set you.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Up with her? Instead?
Speaker 6 (13:36):
You you want to set me up on a blind date.
Speaker 7 (13:40):
No, it's not a blind date because I've seen her
and I know her well. But like Helen, and no
one has seen her.
Speaker 9 (13:45):
None of us is like talk to her in a
long time. I mean, I guess you guys have been texting.
That's something, but like you.
Speaker 7 (13:51):
Know, I don't know. This might be better.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
Well, tell me about this friend of yours.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
I mean, she was great, you know, like you would.
I think you really like her. She's you would totally
get along. I know you guys have a lot in common,
and I know one hundred percent that she does not
make out with her brother at party.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
I certainly hope not.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Laughing too hard?
Speaker 6 (14:28):
Justin, Hey, justin, Well, are you at a party or something?
What's all that laughter?
Speaker 5 (14:37):
I think we're kind of a party. We're we're a
morning radio show. Justin called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Why did you go.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
With Thodays Advice?
Speaker 5 (14:45):
I thought that was solid, though.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
I am so lost right now.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
You're on the radio right now, man, Okay, we're doing
a segment called an Awkward Tuesday phone Call. Carrie reached
out wanting a little bit of help to talk to
you about your upcoming blind date with this girl. We're
not so sure it's a good idea for you to go.
Speaker 6 (15:08):
Out with her because of the brother thing or I.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Mean, that's just one of many many.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Reasons, because car Carrie does have someone really cool that
she wants to set you up with.
Speaker 6 (15:21):
Harry, What exactly is going on here? This is is
a little weird.
Speaker 10 (15:25):
Okay, listen, justin, I I haven't been super honest with you.
I have not been the best friend in the sense
that I discovered Katalina's social.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
Media, and well you found her social media. What does
she look like?
Speaker 5 (15:44):
That sound is probably all you need to know.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Just new rumor coming in. I hear she looks like
oscar the Grouse, like a muppet whatever.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Who cares what she looks like. You're not the type
of guy that bases a relationship on looks. Are you?
Just come on?
Speaker 6 (16:00):
Like I said, at the very least, we would just
get a cup of coffee and catch up a little bit.
That doesn't mean we go on the second date or anything.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Yeah, it starts with coffee drinking. Next thing you know,
brothers are kissing.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Okay, I don't feel like any of this is helping you. Guys,
did you.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Need to do the thing?
Speaker 7 (16:17):
I mean, okay, okay, I think this has become too
much of an awkward quagmire for me not to say
the thing that I have been trying to not say.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Say the thing.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
Carrie, what thing?
Speaker 7 (16:29):
What?
Speaker 6 (16:29):
I still don't know what the hell is going on here?
Speaker 7 (16:34):
We have such a good connection, and I just kind
of wondering if, like, maybe there's a mutual attraction beyond
friendship between us.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
It is, m what do you think?
Speaker 6 (16:49):
So you dragged me through a whole radio show to
finally spill the beams here.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Be maybe she was nervous.
Speaker 7 (16:58):
Obviously, I realize now this is not the.
Speaker 9 (17:01):
Right way to do it. I just I just thought
it like maybe we needed some more organic time to
let it evolve. But then I saw Katalina and I
would have no chance if you met her.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
That is not true, justin don't you think that Carrie
is amazing? Could you see something more between you two?
Speaker 6 (17:20):
Have you ever picked I wouldn't have been friends with
her for the last decade if I didn't think she
was amazing. You We've talked about this, you always you
know undersell yourself, see, and to be perfectly honest, Yeah,
I think you kind of went about this the wrong way.
Is so finally getting this out in the open. But hey,
might make a great story for our first date.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
So justin you're into the idea of maybe going out
with Carrie here, not a friend date, like a romantic date.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
I wouldn't mind one bit.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Really it sounds justin like you have liked her for
a long time.
Speaker 6 (17:57):
To be probably honest, I have.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Yeah, Oh my god, I.
Speaker 6 (18:01):
Was afraid that I was in the but you know,
I just kind of I just you know, like you said,
we've been friends for a long time. I didn't know
how you felt, so I didn't want to like ruin
a good thing.
Speaker 7 (18:10):
But yeah, both kind of been idiots.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
In all of our years here. I never thought brooks
advice of just sleep with all of your friends what's
the worst happen would actually work. Good job, bro, you
gonna find out.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Brooking Jeffrey in the morning. Actually, I think that one
was really cute. Yeah, we were. I had an update
from them.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
I mean a lot of drama to just ask someone
out that you've known for a long.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Yeah, it's true.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Just telling your closest friend.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Hey, I have a crush on you.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Crossing that borders hard.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
They can't kiss you. That's what I'm straight.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
For, straight for it after ten years of friendship.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Yeah, Bill, the first time I kissed one of my
best friends, Oh this is I was like sixteen, right,
and it was like my second kiss I'd ever had
and the first one went horribly wrong. So this one
was really good and I got so excited.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
I high fived him afterwards.
Speaker 8 (19:14):
Oh, I was like.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
And he was like, she goes Brooke, don't ever do
that again. You're close enough he could tell you that.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yeah, he's still one of my best buddies.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Yeah, so any this couple, Pa, I think what I think.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
What this is is if you have a crush, just
tell him all right, there's nothing, yeah, friendship and then
when that backfires, call us okay and we'll do it
another awkward Tuesday for you, or you can always submit

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
