Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's breaking Jeffrey in the morning, and we've got your
(00:02):
awkward Tuesday phone call today. But first, yes, the debate
that's waging across the country or just mostly in our
comet section. After yesterday's second Date update, is land meat
versus sea meat?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Yeah, yeah, which one are you going to touch?
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Dex Van Hewnan commented, I still don't know is land
meat allowed to drink water. I have so many questions.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I mean, I feel like lad meat would be really dirty.
That was my whole thing.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
It's like, if it's not allowed to touch the water
at all, would be gross outside.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
But then some people kind of get it.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Hey, buddy said, maybe she tastes algae.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
If we could taste pineapple.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Or onion, I guess I kind of get it. So yeah,
I don't know if this woman's insane. He dodged a bullet, Okay,
Oh maybe lap meat she could eat lab Yeah, I
thought you were talking about.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
A pet thief. Like that just got really darker.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Okay. Anyways, well, we love your comments, love your debates,
keep it going and sit back and enjoy your awkward
Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
Man.
Speaker 6 (01:07):
Back in grade school, it was easy to tell if
someone had a crush on you because you literally just
passed them a note asking them to circle yes or no.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
That's actually a great point.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
And then, no matter what their response was, you actively
had to avoid them for the rest of the entire year.
Speaker 7 (01:25):
Yeah, ballad, But as adults things get a little bit
more complicated, especially if your crush is a friend at work.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Oh Man, and one of.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
Our listeners says, the other night, there was a sign
that maybe a romantic spark was happening with her coworker,
and now she wants our help to gently nudge this
friendship into more than that.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
How do we pass them a note though on the radio.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
And your career have to come with a better plan
when we do your awkward to Tuesday phone call next,
it's awkward.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
It's Tuesday.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 6 (02:08):
Awkward tension between two people who work closely together. We
don't know anything about that on this show.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
It's sitting in the middle of it every day.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Brook.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
By the way, if you wore underwear, you would have
left it on my chair in the ax booth.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
We were all thinking it.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
They'd be really big panties. I say, I like a
little tummy control.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
As a blanket insatiable workplace LUs because one of our listeners, Maya,
is looking for some romantic advice about one of her
co workers. I'm hoping no undergarments are involved, but let's
find out, Maya. Welcome to the show.
Speaker 8 (02:58):
Hi guys here, love your show.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
You don't wear granny candies, do you? Maya? So soon
for me to ask you that.
Speaker 8 (03:06):
I am not a granny?
Speaker 6 (03:07):
Okay, tell us about the co worker that you're having
this romantic tryst with.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
What's their name.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Or a crush?
Speaker 8 (03:16):
Well, I don't know. His name is Derek. He and
I have always had a connection at work. We've been
like friends, and basically I developed all these feelings for him,
and every time I see him, it's just like he
lights up a room.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Cute.
Speaker 6 (03:34):
That's exactly what Brooke was thinking about me. You don't
have to keep throwing it my way, Brooke.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
That new feeling of just seeing the person the oh god,
it's just so good.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
It's such a good feeling.
Speaker 8 (03:47):
Yeah. So here's the thing. Like about a year ago,
I kind of came up with this plan where whenever
he walks into a room and whenever there's a group
of us, I am just going to do whatever I
can to build the bond. So basically I would always
do my best to like linger and stay there until
it's just the two of us in the room. And
(04:08):
my idea has kind of worked.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
So it just waited out he's in the break room
and you like poke your head around the corner, just
like check on what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
No, I think she just stands next to him room
until everyone.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
Else then handcuffs him to a chair so that he
can't escape. Okay, so he said that's kind of working.
Speaker 8 (04:28):
I think it's been working.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Why do you think it's been working. I mean, it's
it's just so vague, like.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
How long games?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Yeah, I don't know that any guy would ever pick
that up as you liking them.
Speaker 8 (04:39):
Oh okay, So last week we ended up finally going
out with coworkers and getting drinks.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Right, Okay, okay, that's a good start.
Speaker 9 (04:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (04:48):
So I made sure again that I was like the
last one there was Derek.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Okay, this is a good far.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah, just the two of you.
Speaker 8 (04:58):
Alcohol's involved, yes, but I made sure I just didn't
drink too much and he ended up crashing at my place.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Oh day girl.
Speaker 8 (05:10):
Yeah, so I do know that he wears boxers. We
did not hook up, but you know, he slept in
my bed with his pants off.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
You didn't hook up and he was in his boxers
and he's in your bed.
Speaker 8 (05:23):
Yeah, it was just like we I'm wore sweatpants, you
know what I mean, Like we just.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Got y attire.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Did you guys cuddle?
Speaker 8 (05:32):
We kind of did, We kind of didn't.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Like you smoked cigarettes together, a cigarette, passed one cigarette
back and forth.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Ever knows what happens when.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Two adults.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Cigarettes anymore.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
I'm just guessing.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah, it's not like.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
So what happened?
Speaker 8 (05:49):
Yeah, well, there was this moment in the middle of
the night, and it was just so sweet and so tender.
He kissed me on my back in the middle of
my shoulder plate o.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Interesting. Is that a romantic move?
Speaker 3 (06:04):
I don't know, it's first kiss?
Speaker 8 (06:06):
Yes, definitely for me. It's like so.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
Intimate, right, sure, But did you guys ever during the
night kiss with lips instead of just back smooches?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
No, well her back.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah, she thinks it's really sweet.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Body kisses can be very sensual. I mean, it's not
a horrible thing. It's just weird that that's his first to.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Figure out what base that is? Like, is that like
half half the first base?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yeah, I think it's a bunch.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
It's a bunch of it's a bunch of dugout.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
She's not even it doesn't matter. She liked it, liked it.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Has that led to anything?
Speaker 8 (06:42):
That's kind of where I'm a little confused, because you know,
we woke up it was really sweet, but going back
to work, I was hoping like he'd asked me out
and maybe end up in my bed again, right.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Right, more than just back.
Speaker 8 (07:04):
Well, it kind of just like went back to the
way it was, and I'm just not sure how to
get it back to the rommantic.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Have you guys not talked about it at all since
that night?
Speaker 8 (07:17):
I didn't bring it up to him because that's kind
of awkward, Like, hey, remember in the middle of the
night you did this, But.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
He sounds like an awkward guy. I mean, that's an
awkward guy move, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (07:30):
You're definitely in this weird in between friends and maybe
more than friends space, So what do you want to
do with your awkward call here?
Speaker 8 (07:37):
So basically, I guess I just want you to help
me point the boat in the direction of romance.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Romance. Okay, romance the love boat.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
I just came up with that.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
That's definitely not a fifty year old reference that we're bringing.
We're going to give you some advice on how to
push your work relationship.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Throw your down the river of romanceday phone call, do
it right after this. It's awkward. It's Tuesday. It's awkward,
Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
If you had one shot to turn a work friend
into a boyfriend after one back kiss, how would you
do it?
Speaker 9 (08:34):
Man?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
This music is getting me pumped up, Jeffrey question.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
That's the question that we've been tasked with today.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
And I'm being honest when I say, you really only
have one chance to do this right. Because Maya has
had a crush on her co worker for a year,
they ended up hanging out together at a work happy
hour and where the final two left at the restaurant,
he ended up crashing over at her place, And even
though they spent the night in the same bed, there
(09:03):
was no romance, no lip to lip kissing.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
A little tiny moment.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
Just right in the middle of the night he kissed
her back once and then went back to sleep.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Now she wants them.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
To be an item, and I know how we're gonna
do this, you do, We're gonna have Brooke give you
the best advice that you've ever heard.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I am a person who has told countless boys men
that I have crushes on them in my life.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
In my life, I'm gonna tell you, though, my success rate.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Probably less than twenty five percent. But listen, you gotta
do what I shouldn't have done. Do the opposite of me,
because I just always come out with it. I can't
hold things in, and then it's like awkward and sometimes
you get to thank you, you know, like, yeah, instead
of how you're feeling, let's talk about how he's feeling.
(09:59):
Maybe you say that you've noticed he may have some
feelings for you. You leave it real general, and then
maybe say maybe that's something we should talk.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
About the wait, Like, say that I've noticed he has
some feelings for me.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Yes, trick him.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
He kissed you on the back, he's got something going on, Jose.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
What do you think?
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Well, here's what would work on me. Tell him that
you had so much fun with him the other night
and you want to do it.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
All over again, but.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Only you two this time, no co workers involved.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Okay, so just ask him out, ask him out on
a date.
Speaker 8 (10:38):
Well, I guess I have a question. Yeah, once he
said to say, oh I've noticed that maybe you have
some feelings for me. Yeah, like what's the next step?
Speaker 10 (10:46):
Then?
Speaker 8 (10:47):
What would you say.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
For him to respond?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I mean you could just even say, am I reading
that right?
Speaker 10 (10:54):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (10:54):
Am I reading that right?
Speaker 6 (10:55):
Remember Brook is twenty five percent success rate, whether you
go with Jose or Brook advice.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
We're all really invested. We're all reading for you.
Speaker 6 (11:02):
And then you're co worker Derek right now and hopefully
convince him to fall in love with you.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Let's do that.
Speaker 8 (11:22):
Hello, Hey, Derek, it's Maya.
Speaker 9 (11:31):
Hey, what's gone?
Speaker 8 (11:33):
Hey? So I had a lot of fun last week
when we all went out with everybody from the office.
What did you think? Wasn't that fun?
Speaker 9 (11:48):
From what I can remember, it was fantastic. I can't
believe some of the things that Nick said, but yeah,
it was a good time. It was a really good time. Yeah,
it's just fantastic you.
Speaker 8 (12:01):
Yeah, I had a great time. And do you like
remember in the middle of the night that anything happened?
Speaker 9 (12:11):
Wait, I didn't. I didn't pee on anything today.
Speaker 8 (12:16):
Uh no, No, it was really sweet. You know, you
kissed me but I mean not on the lips you
just kissed. I mean no, they are either you just
kissed me? Uh you you you actually kissed me between
my shoulder blades.
Speaker 9 (12:30):
Oh it wasn't.
Speaker 8 (12:32):
I mean, it's not that big a deal, right.
Speaker 9 (12:35):
Get so Gotti? Are you serious?
Speaker 4 (12:38):
No?
Speaker 8 (12:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (12:41):
Yeah, is no. I'm yeah, I do not remember that
at all. And I am Oh you guys, I probably
shouldn't have even spent the night there, because yeah, I was.
I was just so out of it. So I'm very sorry.
Few are offended.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
Actually I wasn't offended at all. I kind of I
kind of noticed that maybe you have some feelings for me.
And I mean, am I reading it right?
Speaker 9 (13:18):
What do you mean? Am I reading it right? What
do you What do you mean by that?
Speaker 8 (13:21):
Okay, I'm just going to say it. I had so
much fun the other night, but I was hoping we
can do it again, and this time maybe just the
two of us. What do you think?
Speaker 9 (13:35):
Wow? Uh okay, that's not what I expected at all.
I yeah, God, I thought I thought you were gonna
call because you just need to like help with your spreadsheets.
Speaker 8 (13:48):
Like, no, actually I want you back in my real sheets.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (14:03):
What's happening.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
What's up, Derek Dereck. Hey, you're on the radio with
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Oh, that's something you can't say on the radio.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
But that's okay. We'll give you a porry.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
We're doing something right now called an awkward Tuesday phone call,
trying to help out Maya sort out what happened between
you two at her place.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
The other night.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
I think you know exactly what Maya wants.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Now.
Speaker 8 (14:31):
Yeah, they've been giving me some advice because I really
just have had a crush on you lately and you.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Couldn't tell based on the things you were saying.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
That's sweet.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
Well, the back kiss made her feel like you were
trying to cross into more than a coworkership.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
So is there any possibility that might be true? Oh wow,
not to put you on the spot or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
But no, exactly to put you on the spot, No, no,
just on the radio and stuff.
Speaker 9 (15:02):
I look, I legitimately a lot of the other night
is very hazy.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Okay, so you don't remember the back kiss at all?
Speaker 9 (15:11):
Oh God, God, but hold on, hold on. If I'm
being honest, even though things were hazy the other night,
I probably have feelings too.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Really, I got nervous.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
Expecting that answer because I think I might have feelings.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Let me have it.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Okay, sorry, sorry continues.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Oh my god, Maya, I can't believe.
Speaker 8 (15:48):
I've ever this is like sometimes I could have.
Speaker 9 (15:50):
Expected, but I'm like, but honestly, I'm a little bit
worried about running our friendship, Maya. And like the fact
that it's at work is I don't know, it's doubly dangerous,
and so it's.
Speaker 10 (16:04):
Like, doubly fun is what I don't again, Well, you know,
I was just thinking that, you know, if you wanted
to ask me out.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
Oh uh, the perfect moment.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
Wait right right now on the show. Yes, that's a
good point. No one is listening.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
But you are so good at this, okay, Derek, Derek.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
This is your chance.
Speaker 9 (16:39):
Okay. Uh, Maya on the radio, I want to go
get Subway with me at lunch.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Yeah, thank you?
Speaker 7 (16:53):
You like I do?
Speaker 9 (16:56):

has never happened to me before where somebody's asked me
to ask them out on the radio.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Who I welcome, man, Don't let brook get in your head.

Speaker 6 (17:25):
You guys go to Subway together, and who knows, maybe
that turned into something else.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Maybe it turns into the Baskin Robbins afterwards, and maybe.
Speaker 9 (17:33):
We could end up going to Red Lobster for nighttime date.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
Incredible little sheddar biscuit action with a back kiss on top.

Count me in.
Speaker 2 (17:46):

I know I need to know what happened.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Either that or they went to Subway and it was
a total like fail and that's why they're not.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Could have been a bad way. Yeah, you know, you
know that that was awesome.

I love that people are writing in the comments about
shipping them or being excited about them together.

One person competent said, my husband and I met at
work too.

Twenty seven years, Mary for twenty one. I feel like
the best place to meet someone is at work.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
I never knew that we said it one time on
the show, like the number one place whatever, And after
that day, almost everyone I talked to my sports like,

It's breaking Jeffrey in the morning, and we've got your
(00:02):
awkward Tuesday phone call today. But first, yes, the debate
that's waging across the country or just mostly in our
comet section. After yesterday's second Date update, is land meat
versus sea meat?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Yeah, yeah, which one are you going to touch?
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Dex Van Hewnan commented, I still don't know is land
meat allowed to drink water. I have so many questions.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I mean, I feel like lad meat would be really dirty.
That was my whole thing.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
It's like, if it's not allowed to touch the water
at all, would be gross outside.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
But then some people kind of get it.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Hey, buddy said, maybe she tastes algae.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
If we could taste pineapple.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Or onion, I guess I kind of get it. So yeah,
I don't know if this woman's insane. He dodged a bullet, Okay,
Oh maybe lap meat she could eat lab Yeah, I
thought you were talking about.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
A pet thief. Like that just got really darker.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Okay. Anyways, well, we love your comments, love your debates,
keep it going and sit back and enjoy your awkward
Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
Man.
Speaker 6 (01:07):
Back in grade school, it was easy to tell if
someone had a crush on you because you literally just
passed them a note asking them to circle yes or no.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
That's actually a great point.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
And then, no matter what their response was, you actively
had to avoid them for the rest of the entire year.
Speaker 7 (01:25):
Yeah, ballad, But as adults things get a little bit
more complicated, especially if your crush is a friend at work.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Oh Man, and one of.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
Our listeners says, the other night, there was a sign
that maybe a romantic spark was happening with her coworker,
and now she wants our help to gently nudge this
friendship into more than that.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
How do we pass them a note though on the radio.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
And your career have to come with a better plan
when we do your awkward to Tuesday phone call next,
it's awkward.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
It's Tuesday.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 6 (02:08):
Awkward tension between two people who work closely together. We
don't know anything about that on this show.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
It's sitting in the middle of it every day.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Brook.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
By the way, if you wore underwear, you would have
left it on my chair in the ax booth.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
We were all thinking it.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
They'd be really big panties. I say, I like a
little tummy control.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
As a blanket insatiable workplace LUs because one of our listeners, Maya,
is looking for some romantic advice about one of her
co workers. I'm hoping no undergarments are involved, but let's
find out, Maya. Welcome to the show.
Speaker 8 (02:58):
Hi guys here, love your show.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
You don't wear granny candies, do you? Maya? So soon
for me to ask you that.
Speaker 8 (03:06):
I am not a granny?
Speaker 6 (03:07):
Okay, tell us about the co worker that you're having
this romantic tryst with.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
What's their name.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Or a crush?
Speaker 8 (03:16):
Well, I don't know. His name is Derek. He and
I have always had a connection at work. We've been
like friends, and basically I developed all these feelings for him,
and every time I see him, it's just like he
lights up a room.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Cute.
Speaker 6 (03:34):
That's exactly what Brooke was thinking about me. You don't
have to keep throwing it my way, Brooke.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
That new feeling of just seeing the person the oh god,
it's just so good.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
It's such a good feeling.
Speaker 8 (03:47):
Yeah. So here's the thing. Like about a year ago,
I kind of came up with this plan where whenever
he walks into a room and whenever there's a group
of us, I am just going to do whatever I
can to build the bond. So basically I would always
do my best to like linger and stay there until
it's just the two of us in the room. And
(04:08):
my idea has kind of worked.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
So it just waited out he's in the break room
and you like poke your head around the corner, just
like check on what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
No, I think she just stands next to him room
until everyone.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
Else then handcuffs him to a chair so that he
can't escape. Okay, so he said that's kind of working.
Speaker 8 (04:28):
I think it's been working.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Why do you think it's been working. I mean, it's
it's just so vague, like.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
How long games?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Yeah, I don't know that any guy would ever pick
that up as you liking them.
Speaker 8 (04:39):
Oh okay, So last week we ended up finally going
out with coworkers and getting drinks.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Right, Okay, okay, that's a good start.
Speaker 9 (04:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (04:48):
So I made sure again that I was like the
last one there was Derek.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Okay, this is a good far.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah, just the two of you.
Speaker 8 (04:58):
Alcohol's involved, yes, but I made sure I just didn't
drink too much and he ended up crashing at my place.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Oh day girl.
Speaker 8 (05:10):
Yeah, so I do know that he wears boxers. We
did not hook up, but you know, he slept in
my bed with his pants off.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
You didn't hook up and he was in his boxers
and he's in your bed.
Speaker 8 (05:23):
Yeah, it was just like we I'm wore sweatpants, you
know what I mean, Like we just.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Got y attire.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Did you guys cuddle?
Speaker 8 (05:32):
We kind of did, We kind of didn't.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Like you smoked cigarettes together, a cigarette, passed one cigarette
back and forth.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Ever knows what happens when.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Two adults.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Cigarettes anymore.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
I'm just guessing.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Yeah, it's not like.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
So what happened?
Speaker 8 (05:49):
Yeah, well, there was this moment in the middle of
the night, and it was just so sweet and so tender.
He kissed me on my back in the middle of
my shoulder plate o.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Interesting. Is that a romantic move?
Speaker 3 (06:04):
I don't know, it's first kiss?
Speaker 8 (06:06):
Yes, definitely for me. It's like so.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
Intimate, right, sure, But did you guys ever during the
night kiss with lips instead of just back smooches?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
No, well her back.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah, she thinks it's really sweet.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Body kisses can be very sensual. I mean, it's not
a horrible thing. It's just weird that that's his first to.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Figure out what base that is? Like, is that like
half half the first base?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Yeah, I think it's a bunch.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
It's a bunch of it's a bunch of dugout.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
She's not even it doesn't matter. She liked it, liked it.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Has that led to anything?
Speaker 8 (06:42):
That's kind of where I'm a little confused, because you know,
we woke up it was really sweet, but going back
to work, I was hoping like he'd asked me out
and maybe end up in my bed again, right.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Right, more than just back.
Speaker 8 (07:04):
Well, it kind of just like went back to the
way it was, and I'm just not sure how to
get it back to the rommantic.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Have you guys not talked about it at all since
that night?
Speaker 8 (07:17):
I didn't bring it up to him because that's kind
of awkward, Like, hey, remember in the middle of the
night you did this, But.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
He sounds like an awkward guy. I mean, that's an
awkward guy move, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (07:30):
You're definitely in this weird in between friends and maybe
more than friends space, So what do you want to
do with your awkward call here?
Speaker 8 (07:37):
So basically, I guess I just want you to help
me point the boat in the direction of romance.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Romance. Okay, romance the love boat.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
I just came up with that.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
That's definitely not a fifty year old reference that we're bringing.
We're going to give you some advice on how to
push your work relationship.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Throw your down the river of romanceday phone call, do
it right after this. It's awkward. It's Tuesday. It's awkward,
Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
If you had one shot to turn a work friend
into a boyfriend after one back kiss, how would you
do it?
Speaker 9 (08:34):
Man?
Speaker 2 (08:34):
This music is getting me pumped up, Jeffrey question.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
That's the question that we've been tasked with today.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
And I'm being honest when I say, you really only
have one chance to do this right. Because Maya has
had a crush on her co worker for a year,
they ended up hanging out together at a work happy
hour and where the final two left at the restaurant,
he ended up crashing over at her place, And even
though they spent the night in the same bed, there
(09:03):
was no romance, no lip to lip kissing.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
A little tiny moment.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
Just right in the middle of the night he kissed
her back once and then went back to sleep.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Now she wants them.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
To be an item, and I know how we're gonna
do this, you do, We're gonna have Brooke give you
the best advice that you've ever heard.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I am a person who has told countless boys men
that I have crushes on them in my life.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
In my life, I'm gonna tell you, though, my success rate.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Probably less than twenty five percent. But listen, you gotta
do what I shouldn't have done. Do the opposite of me,
because I just always come out with it. I can't
hold things in, and then it's like awkward and sometimes
you get to thank you, you know, like, yeah, instead
of how you're feeling, let's talk about how he's feeling.
(09:59):
Maybe you say that you've noticed he may have some
feelings for you. You leave it real general, and then
maybe say maybe that's something we should talk.
Speaker 8 (10:10):
About the wait, Like, say that I've noticed he has
some feelings for me.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Yes, trick him.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
He kissed you on the back, he's got something going on, Jose.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
What do you think?
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Well, here's what would work on me. Tell him that
you had so much fun with him the other night
and you want to do it.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
All over again, but.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Only you two this time, no co workers involved.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Okay, so just ask him out, ask him out on
a date.
Speaker 8 (10:38):
Well, I guess I have a question. Yeah, once he
said to say, oh I've noticed that maybe you have
some feelings for me. Yeah, like what's the next step?
Speaker 10 (10:46):
Then?
Speaker 8 (10:47):
What would you say.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
For him to respond?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I mean you could just even say, am I reading
that right?
Speaker 10 (10:54):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (10:54):
Am I reading that right?
Speaker 6 (10:55):
Remember Brook is twenty five percent success rate, whether you
go with Jose or Brook advice.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
We're all really invested. We're all reading for you.
Speaker 6 (11:02):
And then you're co worker Derek right now and hopefully
convince him to fall in love with you.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Let's do that.
Speaker 8 (11:22):
Hello, Hey, Derek, it's Maya.
Speaker 9 (11:31):
Hey, what's gone?
Speaker 8 (11:33):
Hey? So I had a lot of fun last week
when we all went out with everybody from the office.
What did you think? Wasn't that fun?
Speaker 9 (11:48):
From what I can remember, it was fantastic. I can't
believe some of the things that Nick said, but yeah,
it was a good time. It was a really good time. Yeah,
it's just fantastic you.
Speaker 8 (12:01):
Yeah, I had a great time. And do you like
remember in the middle of the night that anything happened?
Speaker 9 (12:11):
Wait, I didn't. I didn't pee on anything today.
Speaker 8 (12:16):
Uh no, No, it was really sweet. You know, you
kissed me but I mean not on the lips you
just kissed. I mean no, they are either you just
kissed me? Uh you you you actually kissed me between
my shoulder blades.
Speaker 9 (12:30):
Oh it wasn't.
Speaker 8 (12:32):
I mean, it's not that big a deal, right.
Speaker 9 (12:35):
Get so Gotti? Are you serious?
Speaker 4 (12:38):
No?
Speaker 8 (12:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (12:41):
Yeah, is no. I'm yeah, I do not remember that
at all. And I am Oh you guys, I probably
shouldn't have even spent the night there, because yeah, I was.
I was just so out of it. So I'm very sorry.
Few are offended.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
Actually I wasn't offended at all. I kind of I
kind of noticed that maybe you have some feelings for me.
And I mean, am I reading it right?
Speaker 9 (13:18):
What do you mean? Am I reading it right? What
do you What do you mean by that?
Speaker 8 (13:21):
Okay, I'm just going to say it. I had so
much fun the other night, but I was hoping we
can do it again, and this time maybe just the
two of us. What do you think?
Speaker 9 (13:35):
Wow? Uh okay, that's not what I expected at all.
I yeah, God, I thought I thought you were gonna
call because you just need to like help with your spreadsheets.
Speaker 8 (13:48):
Like, no, actually I want you back in my real sheets.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Wow.
Speaker 9 (14:03):
What's happening.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
What's up, Derek Dereck. Hey, you're on the radio with
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Oh, that's something you can't say on the radio.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
But that's okay. We'll give you a porry.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
We're doing something right now called an awkward Tuesday phone call,
trying to help out Maya sort out what happened between
you two at her place.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
The other night.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
I think you know exactly what Maya wants.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Now.
Speaker 8 (14:31):
Yeah, they've been giving me some advice because I really
just have had a crush on you lately and you.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Couldn't tell based on the things you were saying.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
That's sweet.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
Well, the back kiss made her feel like you were
trying to cross into more than a coworkership.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
So is there any possibility that might be true? Oh wow,
not to put you on the spot or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
But no, exactly to put you on the spot, No, no,
just on the radio and stuff.
Speaker 9 (15:02):
I look, I legitimately a lot of the other night
is very hazy.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Okay, so you don't remember the back kiss at all?
Speaker 9 (15:11):
Oh God, God, but hold on, hold on. If I'm
being honest, even though things were hazy the other night,
I probably have feelings too.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Really, I got nervous.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
Expecting that answer because I think I might have feelings.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Let me have it.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Okay, sorry, sorry continues.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Oh my god, Maya, I can't believe.
Speaker 8 (15:48):
I've ever this is like sometimes I could have.
Speaker 9 (15:50):
Expected, but I'm like, but honestly, I'm a little bit
worried about running our friendship, Maya. And like the fact
that it's at work is I don't know, it's doubly dangerous,
and so it's.
Speaker 10 (16:04):
Like, doubly fun is what I don't again, Well, you know,
I was just thinking that, you know, if you wanted
to ask me out.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
Oh uh, the perfect moment.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
Wait right right now on the show. Yes, that's a
good point. No one is listening.
Speaker 2 (16:33):

that turned into something else.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Maybe it turns into the Baskin Robbins afterwards, and maybe.
Speaker 9 (17:33):
We could end up going to Red Lobster for nighttime date.
