Speaker 1: It's awkward.
Speaker 2: It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday.
Speaker 3: They say, when you finally find real true love, there
Speaker 3: is nothing you won't do to try and make it work.
Speaker 4: That's true, that's so nice.
Speaker 3: You will run past TSA to stop their plane from leaving.
Speaker 3: You'll stand up and object at their wedding ceremony. You'll
Speaker 3: dig a hole underneath the outer fence to bust them
Speaker 3: out of a fifty year prison sentence. Because that's what
Speaker 3: true love is.
Speaker 4: The last one they may actually appreciate the other two.
Speaker 4: I'm not so certain about that.
Speaker 3: That's why one of our listeners, Tricia, needs our help
Speaker 3: today to try and make love work. So, Tricia, should
Speaker 3: we be grabbing our shovels. We're doing a jail break today.
Speaker 3: Where are we at?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Let's see what you guys think.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, what she's saying?
Speaker 3: Yeah, stand by, we'll have a prepare tell us about
Speaker 3: your situation. What's going on?
Speaker 1: So I met a guy like seven months ago. I
Speaker 1: was out with my friends and we ran into this
Speaker 1: other group of friends and I don't know, it happened
Speaker 1: kind of quickly. I don't want to say it was
Speaker 1: love at first sight, but it just felt right. So
Speaker 1: we kind of very quickly after that night, we were
Speaker 1: pretty insuperable doing everything together.
Speaker 4: Oh that's always so exciting. What's this guy's name?
Speaker 1: His name is Ben Ben.
Speaker 4: So things with Ben are great at this time.
Speaker 1: I mean, right now, they're good. I wouldn't say they're great.
Speaker 1: I'm a little confused of how to keep.
Speaker 3: Going, but why what's going on?
Speaker 1: So basically, after two months of dating, my lease was
Speaker 1: up with two of my girlfriends and he offered that
Speaker 1: I move in. So I was like, why not? We're
Speaker 1: so good together?
Speaker 4: Well after only two months.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it wants you to be homeless and live on
Speaker 3: the streets.
Speaker 5: I tell you you should never do it for convenience.
Speaker 5: You always end poorly.
Speaker 1: I do think I kind of jumped in too fash.
Speaker 3: Sorry, Jeff, it's not checking out for me.
Speaker 4: So what you moved into his place? What was that like?
Speaker 1: So it was an adjustment, Like I'm used to living
Speaker 1: with girls, this is my first time living with a guy.
Speaker 1: But we have dinners, we hang out a bunch, and
Speaker 1: then he's also like not home a lot because he's
Speaker 1: doing things with this guy friend.
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty sweet for you. All that personal time that
Speaker 3: you get for yourself must be nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's great. I have my friends over, we have
Speaker 1: like time part.
Speaker 4: Okay, so I mean that piece sounds really healthy. That's good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so far you've not mentioned one single problem whatsoever
Speaker 3: with this.
Speaker 6: Where's the awkward part of the awkward Tuesday?
Speaker 1: So two weeks ago he gets this amazing job offers
Speaker 1: that requires him to move across the country.
Speaker 3: Well, more good news for him.
Speaker 4: This is so hard.
Speaker 1: I mean, like, we've been together for like half a year,
Speaker 1: so I'm super excited for him. But he keeps saying like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: this will be next month. Then I'll pay rent until
Speaker 1: the lease is out. But there's no mention of what
Speaker 1: happens to us.
Speaker 5: Whoa wait, he isn't addressing it at all. He's not like, hey,
Speaker 5: should I take this job?
Speaker 4: We're in this together.
Speaker 1: No, there's no conversation. He's doing his own thing. But
Speaker 1: he hasn't even brought up how I fall into this equation.
Speaker 3: But he is willing to pay your rent for a
Speaker 3: few months until until the.
Speaker 1: Lease is out.
Speaker 5: That's a positive kindive.
Speaker 3: If a man offers to pay your rents.
Speaker 4: God, that is terrible. I bet you've just been so upset.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just like every time I try to bring
Speaker 1: it up, he pretty much changes the subject, and I really,
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Do you want to move with him? Is that what
Speaker 4: you want?
Speaker 1: I mean, at least I'd like the option to think
Speaker 1: about it, Okay, I feel like I would, right.
Speaker 6: You just want to know that he's thinking of what
Speaker 6: are we gonna do as a couple.
Speaker 4: You're living together.
Speaker 1: Exactly, like why did we even move in together?
Speaker 3: Because you didn't have anywhere to live and he kindly
Speaker 3: offered to give you a bed to sleep in.
Speaker 4: You didn't know he was that was really logical.
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm trying. I don't mean to sound harsh,
Speaker 3: but this is how men tend to think. It's not
Speaker 3: so much about like the emotion of the seven month relationship.
Speaker 4: That we're in, not if you're in a partnership, Jeff, if.
Speaker 3: He's to speak right there, I'm talking about how men
Speaker 3: think this isn't a partnership in a guy's mind.
Speaker 1: But I feel like if I a guy to move
Speaker 1: in with me, yeah, it's like you figure it out
Speaker 1: ghost from someone's couch till you find your own place.
Speaker 5: Totally, or you say, hey, why don't you stay here
Speaker 5: till you find a place, you know what I mean?
Speaker 5: There's a temporary way you can do that without actually
Speaker 5: moving in together and living together.
Speaker 3: So what is it that you want to do with
Speaker 3: your awkward call here? You want us to call your
Speaker 3: boyfriend Ben?
Speaker 1: I kind of feel like he's a little being a
Speaker 1: little sketchy about it, and I don't want him. You
Speaker 1: guys to help me trick him into telling me the truth.
Speaker 6: He could call his new company and get him fired.
Speaker 4: Somehow we can.
Speaker 5: I don't think she wants to ruin his life, Okay, she's.
Speaker 3: So interested in being with him, just wants a little
Speaker 3: bit more clarity on where they stand.
Speaker 6: All right, that's more responsible.
Speaker 4: Did I say that?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah? And he and he's thrown out a visit.
Speaker 1: But I'm like, what am I visiting for?
Speaker 3: Am I visiting my friend?
Speaker 6: Or am I like staying the week with my right?
Speaker 1: Just feels like something not quite right here?
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, but you.
Speaker 3: Don't want to ask him. You said you want to
Speaker 3: trick him into figuring out whether, like where his true
Speaker 3: feelings lie.
Speaker 4: Okay, you know, but she needs a little help.
Speaker 3: Well, let's rub some sticks together, get a fire going,
Speaker 3: so we can hold his feet to said flames, and
Speaker 3: we'll come back and let you make your awkward Tuesday
Speaker 3: phone call right after this. Okay, all right, all right,
Speaker 3: hold on, it's awkward.
Speaker 4: It's Tuesday.
Speaker 2: It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 3: It is interesting when a listener comes on the show
Speaker 3: and says, help me deceive a loved one. I mean, morally,
Speaker 3: is it wrong that we're helping her do this?
Speaker 6: Maybe?
Speaker 4: I don't think it is fun to do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because one of our listeners is asking us blatantly
Speaker 3: to trick her living boyfriend into telling us the truth
Speaker 3: about why he's really moving across country without her for
Speaker 3: a job opportunity. She send her email that he's been
Speaker 3: acting a little bit sketchy and unclear ever since he
Speaker 3: brought up the move.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he hasn't made any plans with her. They haven't
Speaker 4: had any talks about what into the relationship. But it's
Speaker 4: not fair.
Speaker 3: He did say she could maybe come visit. Possibly isn't
Speaker 3: talked at all about it. She does feel like something
Speaker 3: is up, though, And I'm just gonna go out on
Speaker 3: a limb here and say, Tricia, are you worried that
Speaker 3: he's maybe seeing somebody else, maybe his wife and kids,
Speaker 3: and that's not okay with you?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is such a huge jump.
Speaker 3: I'm asking.
Speaker 1: I didn't really think about that, but part of me
Speaker 1: thinks maybe he met someone new.
Speaker 4: Oh really, but to move?
Speaker 5: I think he just sounds passive, aggressive, and he's trying
Speaker 5: to break up with you without actually having to break
Speaker 5: up with you.
Speaker 1: I don't know why he would want to break up
Speaker 1: with me. I'm awesome.
Speaker 4: Yeah that's right.
Speaker 3: But if he does have a wife and children, is
Speaker 3: that something that would deter you or the awesomeness enough.
Speaker 1: That makes him not off?
Speaker 4: Okay, glad and.
Speaker 3: Know where we stand. I'm gonna call him in just
Speaker 3: a second. First, we need to get a little bit
Speaker 3: of advice. Co host, Who are we going to start with?
Speaker 4: Brook?
Speaker 3: You got something?
Speaker 4: I just this is what you do.
Speaker 5: You go in excited because he's been vague. He hasn't
Speaker 5: said whether or not he wants you to move. If
Speaker 5: he doesn't want you to move.
Speaker 4: With him, okay, positive energy. You just play dumb and
Speaker 4: you're like, oh my god, I'm so excited. My job
Speaker 4: just approved me working remotely. I I scheduled the movers
Speaker 4: and we are ready to go. Honey an engage reaction.
Speaker 1: I mean that feels like a little embarrassing, but a
Speaker 1: good way to go.
Speaker 3: It will throw him off. If any if any woman
Speaker 3: approaches a man with like enthusiasms about what they're doing,
Speaker 3: it's like, what's happening?
Speaker 1: Now? Come on?
Speaker 4: Throw your pride aside? Hose?
Speaker 3: What do you think?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 6: If you want to trick him, the best way to
Speaker 6: mess with any guy in the world is to make
Speaker 6: them feel guilty. So, I don't know if you have already.
Speaker 6: This may be the time that you say how proud
Speaker 6: you are of him and that you love him.
Speaker 5: You don't think men who are guilty ly yeah, and
Speaker 5: like he doesn't already know that?
Speaker 6: Let her talk. I don't know, are you guys on

Speaker 4: This is like reality TV.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know exactly where Tricia is, but I can
Speaker 3: tell you. We're at a radio station right now and
Speaker 3: you're on our show called Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 2: Wait is this they know? I was gonna this is
Speaker 2: not the producers that I talk to from the show.
Speaker 3: We're a radio show and Tricia listens to us and
Speaker 3: she wanted our health reaching out to you because she
Speaker 3: says you were acting really sketchy. Ever since you said
Speaker 3: you were moving across country for this quote unquote job opportunity, it.
Speaker 1: Makes sense you're a liar, like you were chosen for
Speaker 1: a love Island.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I look like my co workers told me
Speaker 2: to fill out the application. I really joke, and I
Speaker 2: was like, this is never gonna happen, Like I'm so okay, fine,
Speaker 2: I'll fill out the stupid shoes.
Speaker 4: Don't lie. You're such a liar.
Speaker 5: You wanted it to happen like fine, Like maybe your
Speaker 5: coworkers brought it up as a joke, but to go
Speaker 5: through that entire process.
Speaker 2: The person didn't seem real, so it didn't seem warrant
Speaker 2: telling you about and you know, one thing led to
Speaker 2: another and it's escalated and I'm I mean, how many
Speaker 2: people actually get chosen to be on this showre It
Speaker 2: makes a lot of money.
Speaker 3: How are you feeling hearing all this?
Speaker 1: I really just have words right now, Like I had
Speaker 1: no idea what was happening. I did not think this
Speaker 1: was happening.
Speaker 3: Doesn't sounded kind of upset, Tricia. Yes, I think I
Speaker 3: know why you're Probably it's probably because you don't like
Speaker 3: that show.
Speaker 4: Nobody doesn't like that if he was going.
Speaker 3: On to a different reality dating show it, but that
Speaker 3: one's kind of, you know, trashy.
Speaker 4: You have to handle where you can't touch other people.
Speaker 4: Am I reading this right, Tricia?
Speaker 1: No, you're not reading it right. Basically, wants to hang
Speaker 1: out with a bunch of other women in bikini.
Speaker 2: Was my dad?
Speaker 4: I did not understand.
Speaker 5: Jeff Scasic, Dude, that sucks and how embarrassing. Like you
Speaker 5: weren't gonna tell her she's just gonna pop up and
Speaker 5: like your boyfriend's gonna.
Speaker 4: Be on Love Island. Oh my god, what was your plan? Dude?
Speaker 2: I was just gonna see how it goes.
Speaker 3: And then it may have been something that the producers
Speaker 3: wanted to bring Tricia into the show as part of
Speaker 3: the drama. Sometimes I like to do that the girlfriend
Speaker 3: back home that doesn't know about it.
Speaker 4: It's an opportunity for her that she's not seen.
Speaker 6: Opportunity.
Speaker 4: Dude, good thing you found this out, honey.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: I just talking to you right now.
Speaker 4: Break up with this guy?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we're done here, all right, Trisha.
Speaker 3: You're kicking yourself out of his own apartments.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 4: We used to lead his rent money, though. I mean
Speaker 4: they're on at least together. It will be fine.
Speaker 2: Tricia will honor what I said I would do. You
Speaker 2: can have the apartment.
Speaker 4: He's an honorable, so chivalrous.
Speaker 3: I'm going to vote for you on Love Island.
Speaker 1: Do you think that's supposed to make me feel better?
Speaker 4: It doesn't see I was open. He just gets an
Speaker 4: st D.
Speaker 5: On the show.
Speaker 4: Everybody, Yes, it's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
