Speaker 1: It's awkward. It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 2: Well, it's the moment that I know, at least some
Speaker 2: of you have been waiting for, because we did a
Speaker 2: second date yesterday that got a record amount of texts
Speaker 2: and comments on the social media. If you didn't hear it.
Speaker 2: It was about our listener Morgan, who was on a
Speaker 2: first date with a guy and took him to a
Speaker 2: festival where she was performing with her dance group uh huh,
Speaker 2: and her mom was also there to watch her performance guy,
Speaker 2: and while Morgan was backstage, her mother talked to her
Speaker 2: date and said, you know, Morgan's kind of flaky, but
Speaker 2: there is someone who isn't. Her younger, hotter sister.
Speaker 3: Implied, But if.
Speaker 2: You can believe it, Morgan's own mom gave her date
Speaker 2: the little sister's phone number instead, and they were going
Speaker 2: to go on a date this weekend, which of course
Speaker 2: made Morgan super angry.
Speaker 3: Yeah, every reason.
Speaker 4: Let's listen, James, you better not be my sister. That's
Speaker 4: all I'm thinking of now, Like this is crossing the line.
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna keep texting her. Oh are you kidding?
Speaker 4: I mean, I've already gone through all this, I may
Speaker 4: as well just see what happens now.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, you know.
Speaker 4: What James like mother like daughter. Let me tell you
Speaker 4: a little bit about my sister.
Speaker 3: Oh, is that what we're gonna do? It is spend
Speaker 3: the next couple of minutes trashing her little sister.
Speaker 2: No, we're not doing that. But that was big drama.
Speaker 2: And afterwards we asked, Morgan, can we help you with
Speaker 2: your new issue now? Which isn't your date not calling back?
Speaker 2: It's your mom who threw you under the bus. And
Speaker 2: she said, yes, Morgan is back on to do an
Speaker 2: awkward Tuesday phone call with us. Welcome back, Morgan.
Speaker 4: I thank you for having me.
Speaker 5: I can't even imagine the emotions you've been dealing with
Speaker 5: for the last twenty four hours.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm now sharing it with you and everyone else.
Speaker 6: So why not?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 2: We appreciate that you've had time to digest it and
Speaker 2: think it through. I'm just wondering you still do want
Speaker 2: to confront your mother about this? That's the person you
Speaker 2: want to call, right yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, okay, and you didn't.
Speaker 7: You haven't talked to her at all, Like she haven't
Speaker 7: warned her or anything.
Speaker 4: I mean, I did text her saying I needed to
Speaker 4: talk to her and then I would call her from work,
Speaker 4: but I didn't.
Speaker 2: Are you speaking?
Speaker 5: But are you just gonna get on the phone and
Speaker 5: start yelling at your mom because we've all but we've
Speaker 5: all done that.
Speaker 3: You don't like, I don't know how productive that is, but.
Speaker 7: It's therapeutic, like a personal productive. I mean, that's not
Speaker 7: very fun. Has to happen.
Speaker 2: Maybe we need to know a little bit more about
Speaker 2: your mom before we call her. Our audience probably wants
Speaker 2: to know more to like, what is your relationship with her?
Speaker 4: Like we have a great relationship. She's a mom, and
Speaker 4: I don't know what her deal was that day. I
Speaker 4: would really truly like in Shaga.
Speaker 2: Maybe it was just being at the Irish festival with
Speaker 2: the beer around, just a couple drinks and mamas turned.
Speaker 2: You're just saying a little drinks that you start to
Speaker 2: say stuff that you don't really mean.
Speaker 7: It's it's probably more like whiskey.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you may say stuff, but you don't pass
Speaker 5: along phone numbers that you don't really mean.
Speaker 2: You know, it depends on how many beers she had.
Speaker 2: We don't know had your mom.
Speaker 5: Has your mom called you flaky? Before or was that
Speaker 5: also news to you?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's news to me. But honestly, like, I don't
Speaker 4: know what her agenda was, like, what was she trying
Speaker 4: to accomplish? You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah, hopefully we can get some answers. But if it
Speaker 2: makes you feel better, I'm sure that all of our
Speaker 2: moms say horrible things about all of us behind that
Speaker 2: I know for a fact.
Speaker 7: Mind does I mean, we're in radio, so there's not
Speaker 7: a lot to brag about.
Speaker 3: It does not.
Speaker 2: Next, what we need to know is, aside from your mom,
Speaker 2: what about your relationship with your sister? Have you always
Speaker 2: been jealous of her?
Speaker 4: Not of her She's the one that's been jealous of me.
Speaker 4: That makes sense, Okay, it's the clothes steeler. She's the
Speaker 4: one that's like, wants to be me.
Speaker 3: Wow, that seems like a lot Now.
Speaker 5: I think I think we need to back off from
Speaker 5: bashing on the sister because you don't even know that
Speaker 5: the sister knows that the mom did this right.
Speaker 4: No, and I don't blame my sister. I blame my mom,
Speaker 4: Like I don't want her going out with James, And
Speaker 4: I mean, and I still like, is there a chance
Speaker 4: for James and I to try this again.
Speaker 3: Like, let's say, so, I feel like you should just
Speaker 3: let your little sister have James at this point.
Speaker 2: You know, That's what I really wanted to ask you though,
Speaker 2: because if the guy that we were calling about the
Speaker 2: second day, if you were iffy on him, yeah, and
Speaker 2: you didn't really like him, you were on the fence,
Speaker 2: would it still be a big deal to you?
Speaker 4: I mean I did like him, and it's like, that's
Speaker 4: what fucked so badly there. I just wanted to have
Speaker 4: like a complete redooce so he could see who I
Speaker 4: really am, and then my mom had to go and
Speaker 4: literally screw the whole thing up.
Speaker 3: So what is your mom going to say?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, how can we help you have this
Speaker 2: conversation with her? Like, what is it that you want
Speaker 2: to accomplish with this phone call with your mom?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 4: I mean, first of all, she needs to know that
Speaker 4: it's not okay that she did this and hurts my
Speaker 4: feeling and this can never happen again, you know. And really, thirdly,
Speaker 4: like I think I need an apology and I want
Speaker 4: I want her to actually call James and make.
Speaker 3: It right, oh James, and tell force James to go
Speaker 3: out with you.
Speaker 2: Okay, Wow, James.
Speaker 3: Asked for this. I'm sorry he did.
Speaker 2: He is in a good spot. We're going to do
Speaker 2: all of that, and we're going to get Brooke and
Speaker 2: Jose to weigh in on how you approach this. It's
Speaker 2: gonna be an interesting call when we do your special
Speaker 2: A word Tuesday phone call coming up right after this.
Speaker 1: It's awkward. It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 2: Good news is I think we've all learned a big
Speaker 2: valuable lesson from this whole thing. Whenever you take a
Speaker 2: date somewhere out in public, and if the date's kind
Speaker 2: of cute and you really like him, never ever leave
Speaker 2: him alone, especially if your fun, cool mom is around.
Speaker 3: Let's just learn that a long time ago.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, just joining us. I know what everybody's thinking here. No,
Speaker 2: the mom did not hook up with Morgan's date.
Speaker 3: It would have been better, almost thought might.
Speaker 2: But maybe she did something even worse than that by
Speaker 2: bad mouthing her daughter to her date and saying, you know,
Speaker 2: actually you should meet her younger sister. She's a peach
Speaker 2: or however, moms talk about their daughters whatever they say,
Speaker 2: but a line was definitely cross there. And now Morgan
Speaker 2: is about to confront her her mom about it right here. First, though,
Speaker 2: we need to get some advice. Maybe we should start
Speaker 2: with Jose. Jose, what do you think Morgan should do
Speaker 2: here when we call her mom?
Speaker 7: I think it's important to check your emotions while you're
Speaker 7: speaking with her. Don't just yell at her, right, which
Speaker 7: we've already kind of said.
Speaker 2: No, uh uh wait wait, whoa, whoa. Okay, clearly Brook
Speaker 2: thinks that she has some better advice.
Speaker 5: The most powerful thing in the world is mom guilt.
Speaker 3: Okay, you need to go in hard.
Speaker 5: You need to tell her not only do you know
Speaker 5: what she did, but you need to be very explicit
Speaker 5: in how that made you feel. Because what you're trying
Speaker 5: to do here is you're trying to make sure she
Speaker 5: never does it again, and you're trying to get an apology.
Speaker 5: She will feel so terrible. There's no way that those
Speaker 5: things won't happen. Remember from the first I think that's
Speaker 5: a bad mom move.
Speaker 2: We got two opposite pieces of advice. Jose says, stay calm,
Speaker 2: keep your emotions, and check. Brook is like, go off
Speaker 2: on her. Yeah, which way are you leaning? Morgan?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 4: I mean I like both. I'm going to try to
Speaker 4: kind of incorporate both.
Speaker 6: The storm.
Speaker 5: Maybe passive aggressively yell at her is what it sounds
Speaker 5: like to me.
Speaker 2: Let's make this call to your mom and uh, let's
Speaker 2: get the apology that you really want. We're going to
Speaker 2: jump in and join the conversation if we feel like
Speaker 2: you need a little bit of help. But I think
Speaker 2: you got this, Morgan, Good luck?
Speaker 4: Okay, we go.
Speaker 3: Hello?
Speaker 4: Hi right, yeah, Hi, Hi, Hi sweetie?
Speaker 6: How you doing today?
Speaker 4: Listen? Do you have a couple of minutes to talk
Speaker 4: right now?
Speaker 6: Is everything okay? You kind of send a bit of upset.
Speaker 4: I just wanted to talk to you, particularly about like
Speaker 4: last weekend, you know, when we were at the festival
Speaker 4: and I had that guy James there.
Speaker 6: Yes, he seemed like a very nice boy, Honey.
Speaker 4: I mean yeah, So I mean like that conversation did
Speaker 4: it with James? Like did it go okay between you guys?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Everything was okay. I mean why are you asking?
Speaker 4: I am just curious. You know what was said? Like
Speaker 4: you had a lot of time to talk, so what
Speaker 4: did you talk about?
Speaker 6: I mean I was trying to keep them entertained and
Speaker 6: trying to chat about whatever, you know, just to pass
Speaker 6: the time. But I could tell that he was like
Speaker 6: getting a little frustrated.
Speaker 4: Okay, he Like what was he so frustrated about?
Speaker 6: After you did the little dance number? You know, you
Speaker 6: went backstage, just move and you were back there for
Speaker 6: so long, And I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 4: Whatever you give a moment back there, it's because it's
Speaker 4: because they made me do that, Okay, Like I told you,
Speaker 4: they were the sponsors of the whole festival.
Speaker 6: Okay, Okay. I mean I'm sure there's a lot of
Speaker 6: older men back there that lots of money you want
Speaker 6: you and I'm sure you gave.
Speaker 4: It to no no, no, no, no, no, okay, don't turn
Speaker 4: into that all right, Like whatever.
Speaker 6: It was, I'm sure you probably got some good dikets
Speaker 6: back there.
Speaker 4: I but Mom, you're not listening. I was on a date,
Speaker 4: Like I was really trying to get out of there
Speaker 4: to meet up with him. And I want to know exactly,
Speaker 4: like what did you say to him? Because he's not
Speaker 4: calling me back. It's been really eating away at me
Speaker 4: and and I'm asking you to tell me. You spent
Speaker 4: a lot of time with him, So what did you
Speaker 4: talk about with him?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 6: You know, I don't remember you know how old I am,
Speaker 6: and forget I mean, honestly.
Speaker 4: Okay, listen, I know what you said because I talked
Speaker 4: to him.
Speaker 6: Wait, you spoke with him. I mean I thought you
Speaker 6: said he didn't call you after that date.
Speaker 4: No, he didn't. But I finally reached out to him
Speaker 4: because I was embarrassed that I made him stand out
Speaker 4: there for so long, and then he told me some
Speaker 4: really shocking things. Mom. Okay, Like I said that you
Speaker 4: brought up Taylor and oh and and she's the less
Speaker 4: laky sister.
Speaker 6: Well you know, we all know. You know, we know
Speaker 6: that's true because I mean someone Morgan, Mom know that.
Speaker 4: I mean, are you are you kidding me? You know,
Speaker 4: say that to my date. This was a dude, and
Speaker 4: it was a birthday and it was really important. Like,
Speaker 4: why would you say that to him?
Speaker 6: Well? What am I supposed to lie? Really? I mean,
Speaker 6: what am I gonna say? Oh, she's so punctual, she's
Speaker 6: so responsible.
Speaker 4: All okay, I'm gonna ignore that you said that because
Speaker 4: I know that you tried to set him up with Taylor.
Speaker 4: You gave him her number, you keep your number, mom? Like,
Speaker 4: how could you do that?
Speaker 6: Look, honey, between you and me, they just seem like
Speaker 6: they would be an absolute perfect match. He's he's a
Speaker 6: sweet kid, and Chamber really needs this. I mean, she
Speaker 6: hasn't been with as many men as you are.
Speaker 4: Are you kidding?
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry that we had to end this conversation
Speaker 2: at this point, because I could listen for another twenty minutes.
Speaker 6: Wait, Joyce, Morgan, what's going on?
Speaker 2: Hi? Morgan's mom? I don't know your name?
Speaker 1: Joyce Joyce.
Speaker 2: Hey, Joyce, welcome to You're on Brook and Jeffrey in
Speaker 2: the Morning. Who Yeah, exactly radio show.
Speaker 7: Oh my god, what did you do?
Speaker 2: Well, it's not really about what Morgan did. Morgan's more
Speaker 2: concerned with what you did at the festival.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we all found out together that you sold Morgan
Speaker 5: out and gave this guy her sister's number.
Speaker 6: I was just trying to do Taylor. I mean, you know, honestly,
Speaker 6: I said, and I talked to this boy for a
Speaker 6: long time and he's just so sweet, and I just
Speaker 6: thought he and Taylor they're like perfect together.
Speaker 2: And I just what about your older daughter.
Speaker 7: Doesn't she deserve to be with a sweet, nice guy
Speaker 7: as well?
Speaker 2: It sounds like she's had plenty of chances before that. Men,
Speaker 2: possibly rich ones backstage.
Speaker 4: I don't even know what say. I don't even know
Speaker 4: what your impression of me must be. Like, this is insane. Mom,
Speaker 4: you're making me sound like I'm some Like I can't
Speaker 4: even say it on Rada.
Speaker 7: There's nothing wrong.
Speaker 3: With what you're gonna say. Yeah, I totally agree with Alexis.
Speaker 3: I mean, I honestly like listening to your mom.
Speaker 5: I was pretty angry with her before this, but I
Speaker 5: really think that she's just trying to do good by
Speaker 5: both her daughters and she misstepped.
Speaker 3: I don't think what she did was right, but I.
Speaker 5: Don't think her intentions were to like hurt you more than.
Speaker 4: Okay, but Mom, like this hurt my feeling so badly.
Speaker 4: But this was my first date and then you made
Speaker 4: me seem like I'm this had a person like would
Speaker 4: you know that I'm not horrible?
Speaker 2: That's part of what we're trying to do here, Dress.
Speaker 2: We're trying to help Morgan get a little admission that
Speaker 2: maybe you overstepped. Yeah, can you admit that a degree
Speaker 2: that you would never do this to her again?
Speaker 6: I definitely will admit and say I probably could have
Speaker 6: handled things a bit better.
Speaker 3: Okay, let's take the probably out. Okay, I could.
Speaker 2: We're halfway there.
Speaker 6: And I do apologize if it did overstep.
Speaker 2: If it did, it sounds like it did. Just the
Speaker 2: words I'm sorry. That's what we're looking for.
Speaker 6: What I do apologize. I don't want to hurt either
Speaker 6: one of you.
Speaker 5: I mean kids.
Speaker 6: I love you guys, you know, and that's what I'm
Speaker 6: always looking out for. Your belt Okay.
Speaker 2: And that's coming off a little strong, little too much.
Speaker 5: I feel like Jeffrey's taking notes from his own conversations
Speaker 5: with his mother.
Speaker 2: Ye tell them that you're that you're proud of everything
Speaker 2: that they've ever accomplished in. They're a good little boy.
Speaker 4: Okay, Mom, Like I get where you're trying. I'm gonna
Speaker 4: because I love you, I am going to accept your apology.
Speaker 7: Oh that's fine.
Speaker 4: If you want to make this right, I need you
Speaker 4: to call Taylor and James and you need to tell
Speaker 4: them your intentions behind this, because Taylor is considering dating
Speaker 4: this guy.
Speaker 2: Considering it Morgan, you still want to date James.
Speaker 4: I didn't even.
Speaker 6: Get a chance to try.
Speaker 1: Are you sure?
Speaker 7: Are you sure?
Speaker 2: Because our text board is blowing up with many rich,
Speaker 2: older gentlemen, experienced woman I.
Speaker 5: Mean, Joyce, are you up for calling them and telling
Speaker 5: them that they can't date each other like a true
Speaker 5: mom would.
Speaker 6: I mean, honestly, that's kind of out of my hands.
Speaker 6: I mean I can explain to that. But you know,
Speaker 6: it's like poor Taylor, you know, I mean, she has
Speaker 6: nothing to do with this. She's just like, you know,
Speaker 6: just kind.
Speaker 2: Of like she's just the perfect angel child.
Speaker 6: But you know, it's like, what am I supposed to
Speaker 6: say to James. Am I supposed to say no, now,
Speaker 6: you can't date her because Morgan says you can't.
Speaker 5: I mean, they have been texting, so it's unfortunately everyone's
Speaker 5: adults here, so you don't actually have that reach anymore.
Speaker 2: So it sounds like, Morgan, we're just gonna get kind
Speaker 2: of an apology from your mom and that's where we're
Speaker 2: gonna end it. We'll do another awkward Tuesday phone call
Speaker 2: next week and work on through the whole family. I'm
Speaker 2: just kidding.
Speaker 5: This is.
Speaker 2: To deal with it, Morgan, good luck.
Speaker 1: It's broking Jeffrey in the morning,
