It's awkward Tuesday phone call. Is there any circumstance where
you're out somewhere and you see a friend's significant other
doing something that they shouldn't be doing and you decide
to keep your mouth shut? Oh, because, I mean you
can rationalize it in your head, like you know what,
it's not really any of my business. I don't want
(00:25):
to jump to conclusions and stir up drama if that's
not really what's going on. My eyesight really isn't that
good anyway? That could have just been a mannequin and
I'm totally seeing.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
It's just like you got to meet an ice cream
on a non cheat day?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Yeah, is there any chance you do that? Or do
you go tell your friend immediately what you saw?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
It depends depends on the relationships with grocery shopping with somebody?

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Mind? You guys see something?
Speaker 4 (00:52):
No?
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Why why aren't you telling you? Why aren't you sure?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
I don't think I would tell you?
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
No, yeah, this is how they kiss.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
See. This is exactly what happened to our listener Jacob,
who is left dealing with a very bizarre situation now,
and he does not know how to proceed. Jacob, Hey, man,
are you holding up?
Speaker 5 (01:14):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Honestly, you guys, not really?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Oh no, oh my god, I'm dying. Who went where
all of it?
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Okay? So I've been seeing this woman, her name is
Shannon for about a half a year now. We don't
live together or anything, but yeah, i'd say it's been
going pretty good for the most part.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
I thought this was going to be about someone you
saw that we had to call the friend this is
about you.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Yeah, yeah, this one's about me. Shannon and I will
have nights where we hang out, we do stuff together,
but then other nights were apart to things where we
hang out with your friends. And I mean it's healthy.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
You know, I disagree you should be spending twenty four
seconds and you know that's just my clinging.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
I mean, like I said, we're not living together. Schedules
are not framed around one another.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
You have your own lives.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
That one night she was out with their friends whatever.
I got a weird call around like eleven from a
friend of mine, my friend Omar. And Omar was like, hey,
are you home because I gotta come over and tell
you something and he was like, like really kind of
on edge about it is.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Exactly what I was gonna say, But friend says, I
need to tell you something to your face. I'll be like,
friendship's over, dude, Sorry, I don't like anything.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
That must be pretty serious. If he's like demanding to
go see you.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Yeah, no, I knew it was important, so I was like,
all right, come over whatever. He stops by. He tells
me that he saw Shannon out at this place called
Crystal Lounge.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Sounds like a shady place.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
She was with a guy and she was wearing an
engagement ring her finger.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Are you sure that this guy's good at left and right?
Because I have made that mistake before.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Friends.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I don't even know what that finger is.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Yes, okay, And that's the thing I was trying to
devention and I was like, nah, you know you're wrong.
But he was pretty adamant. And that's why you had
to tell me face to face. He saw what he saw? Well?
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Did he did he mention anything like specific like if
they were kissing or holding hands or doing.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Wearing an engagement ring?
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Josh, you've never put a ring on? Well, maybe it
was just like her friend's engagement ring that she was
trying on for fun. Are always swapping jewel clothes.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
Always at the bar, just friend.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
It reminds you broke.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
I'll take your wedding ring off right now.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Thanks the segment, so, like, did he mention anything specific
like that?
Speaker 4 (03:47):
So Walmart said they were like physically close to each other,
but he didn't see any overly romantic gestures happen. So
I'm like, all right, it's probably just a friend and
she's wearing some kind of fake engage.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
I mean, I will say, I will say I have
some really hot friends that will wear fake engage at
rings so they don't get hit on.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
And I totally get that. And don't get me wrong,
you guys, Like I feel like I'm dating up. She
is very attractive. So I see her the next day
and I bring it up, thinking it's going to be,
you know, like thirty second conversation. She's gonna laugh, she's
gonna you know, but she was like, I don't want
to talk about that feeling of guilt. I try to
(04:33):
bring it up a few more times, and then Shannon
got upset and she stormed out.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
She got mad at you, Yeah, because she got mad
at me.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
You a lie it's upset. That's how it works. It's
like anybody who's accused of cheating will be.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Like, no, you were cheating on me.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
But that's the thing I thought I wanted to give
her like the medicine of the doubt, and I wasn't
trying to be aggressive about it or like it like
accusing her right And now she's not answering my calls.
This was just the other night, just this week, and
so I need advice. I need advice on how to
handle it.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Ask you, are you still hoping that she's not cheating,
Like there's still.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
A possible that she is cheating?
Speaker 3 (05:17):
In my mind, there's no possibility that she's not cheating.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Okay, well, I think you're saying. Everybody in this room
is kind of in agreement. It looks really bad for
her right now, and it's very very likely that something
is happening behind your back.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
I feel like we have not just out of the
fact she could be a jewelry heist person access a
lot of jewelry and she's scared because we just caught her.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
That is a pretty frequent thing that we get on
the show.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
I mean, like you want to what you want to
get the truth out of her.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Well, yeah, I really am still holding out hope for
it to just be something that she's like embarrassed about,
doesn't know how to bring it up.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Yeah, I mean it's embarrassed that I was with my fiance.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I think that's a highly likely possibility when we call
her here.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Yeah, they probably haven't gotten married yet. Yeah, now you
didn't see a wedding band.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah, it's totally different now, Jake. I'm sorry that you're
going through this, but we're gonna try and give you
a little bit of advice here before we call your
girlfriend Shannon and let you ask her the question, what
was going on when my friends saw you out the
other night at a lounge wearing an engagement ring with
another guy?
Speaker 3 (06:29):
No matter what happens, like, you're the winner out of this,
she's the sucky one.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Okay, you don't have to hit on him now, he's
still with somebody. We'll get to that in a second.
Your awkward Tuesday phone call is coming up right after this.
It's awkward.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
It's Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
It's awkward Tuesday phone call. If you're just joining us
for the awkward Tuesday phone call, this is what we know.
Our listener, Jacob has a girlfriend of about half a year.
She was spotted out recently at a lounge with a
different guy wearing an engagement right like it need to.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Be taking notes, Jeff so right, Yep, that's weird, not good.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
When Jacob brought it up to her in a fun way,
he expected her to laugh and explain, Oh, it's just
this stupid situation. I had to wear it. It was a
big joke. But no, she got upset and left and
has not spoken to him since. That's why he needs
our advice today on what to say to get his
girlfriend to just tell him the truth of what is
(07:29):
really going on. Yeah, it's the least that he deserves. Right,
what's your advice.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
To Jacob man, Jacob, it's not looking good.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
It's not really advice.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
I'm just like you because if all of those things
are what happened for real, then it's one hundred percent
she's cheating, like there's no way around it, right.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Like a cauld I get advice on how to handle it.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yes, yes, this has been pretty hopeless so far. You
just told him a situation.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
You were going to take control of this situation, okay, right,
and you were going to tell her. You need to
tell me the truth now. You need to rip it
off like a band aid. Ripe it off like a
band aid, because if she waits any longer, it's only
gonna get worse. Like you deserve the truth. And if
she has ever respected you ever in the time that
she's known you, now is the time to show that.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
There it is.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Yeah, yeah, okay, there was actually a little bit of
advice in there.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
Good job, I edit out the whole front of that part.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Every week I give great advice. Okay, Jose what about you?
What do you think? Remember you need to make her
feel comfortable.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
Remind her, honey, I want you to know first I
love you, okay, And whatever you say in this conversation,
I promise.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Not to judge what.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
We listen and we don't judge.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
That's a TikTok tracks.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
TikTok. You know what, do you judge it, then maybe
she will be comfortable.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
To I think actually all of us could take that
advice in this room. We should listen and not judge
her yet, because there could be a logical explanation for this.
We're all going to look really stupid if we're being
as hateful as gis towards her.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
She would have just said the logical thing. If it
was logical, Jeff, she wouldn't have like run out.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Of the room. You know what.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I don't want to look stupid, so listen and then.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Just don't get me wrong, you guys. If this doesn't
go my way, I am fully welcome to judge.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yes, that's actually what we do best on the show.
Let's call her, we'll see if Shannon picks up, and
then we'll step away and let you make your awkward
call and we'll be here if you feel like you
need a little bit of help, okay, with good luck.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Hello, Hey, it's me.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I said, I don't feel like talking right now.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
No, we need to talk right now. What do you mean,
not feel like talking right now? That's not fair.
Speaker 7 (09:52):
Because you just seem really upset about something that honestly
I do not feel like talking about.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Well I don't. How do you think I should feel
about it? Like what, I want to get this I
want to get this over with. I want to hash
this out.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
Okay, then just you know what, just move on.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
What we have to hash out.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
We don't have to.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Hash out anymore. Okay, Sorry, am I not supposed to
be upset when my buddy comes to me saying that
you have an engagement ring on and you're hanging with
some other guy. Like, what is that? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
What is that? No?
Speaker 4 (10:24):
I'm sorry? What your theories? All right? I deserve an
explanation here, Like, it's my understanding. We've been together for
six months now, like we're boyfriend and girlfriend, and my
understanding we're not seeing other people? So am I wrong here?
Speaker 6 (10:44):
Jacob?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
I don't want to hurt you.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
See it's a little late for that. You just need
to tell me whatever the truth is. Okay, I can
handle it.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
It's hard to explain.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Well can you try? Can you try for me here, please? Shannon?
Speaker 7 (11:07):
Well, you know my friends Sierra, right, yeah, I know Sierral. Okay,
So a couple of months ago, she set up this
like hangout with some old friends. She was saying, we
hadn't seen him in a while. Could I just come
and catch up?
Speaker 4 (11:24):
What does this have to do with us?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I'm getting here. This is not this is an easy okay.
So one of the guys who was there to hang like,
well he was my ex so.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
What what does that even mean?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
So we hooked up and I didn't know what to
say to you, because you're so sweet to me. I
couldn't God, and I started dating him again.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
And I know it's messed up, I know, but in
my head, I was like, I've always just wanted to
have a forever relationship, be married, and so I had
it in my head that I was just going to
say yes to whoever proposed first. And he proposed a
few nights ago.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
So so wait, sorry, you're actually you're really engaged. I
thought I really thought there'd be some other reason to it.
Speaker 7 (12:28):
No, no, I am, I'm engaged to someone else.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
I'm really sorry. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Oh God, what is that?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Okay? Oh my god, Shannon, we've been listening to this culture.
You're on the radio right now with a show called
Brook and Jeffrey. In the morning, we're doing something called
awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Oh what look, you weren't answering my calls. And I
can know how to address this with you. I've been trying,
and so I called a radio station to help me
get a hold of you.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
Yeah, and normal, God, I believe you did this on
the radio.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Maybe you shouldn't have been cheating. Yeah, we do a
lot of these phone calls, I'll tell you, Shannon, and
we don't normally get a lot that end like this.
Usually it's somebody playing a joke, there's some hilarious misunderstandings.
Turns out, Shannon, you're just a two timing cheater.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Okay, I'm sorry. She said that she can't believe this. No,
I'm sorry. I can't believe that you're actually engaged and
you hid all of this from me, Like, hello, are
you dating?
Speaker 1 (13:41):
For? Your engaged to this guy?
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Who are you?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Why do I have to answer questions to you?
Speaker 6 (13:46):
I don't even know.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Who I'm talking to at this point. Well you think
I'm just gonna answer some questions for some people I've
never talked to you before.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Well it's pretty valid to the situation.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
Guy Jacob's friend, and we're defending Jacob.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
And a friend he called the radio station. Now he's
your friend.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yes, we're really cling. You don't know us.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Jacob is my friend, Like I still want him to
be part of my life.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Sorry, after all of this, you think Jacob would still
want to be around you? Yeah, so your friend?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Couldn't we stay friends? Like I even ask my fiance
to have our wedding like a year so you could
have some time to heal. Because you are a good
friend and why there I want you in my life.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Okay, wed the year so that your current boyfriend over
you that he can go to the Jacob.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
I mean, are you insane? It's got to be a joke.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Well, what does your schedule look like next next time?
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Joke?
Speaker 6 (14:47):
I wouldn't joke.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
You're a special guy.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Yeah, okay, I was joking.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
My schedule next year is figuring out when she's on
her honeymoon and burning up her apartment.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Oh, let's bring it back a couple, Jacob. We're on
tape here, so this can be used in the court of.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
It can help you.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
To move on.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Okay, yeah, ok yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
You guys, you don't know me. But I'm not a
bad person. Yes, maybe I made a mistake.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
Maybe I should have broken up with Jacob earlier, but
I'm not a bad person.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Maybe, Jacob, are you willing to call this strike one
and give it two more strikes? You know, for in
the name of friendship?
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Yeah, I think all nine innings are over.
Speaker 7 (15:32):
Sports analogy Okay, I wish Jacob well, I hope he
has a great life.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I don't know what to say to you, Shanon, honestly,
But Jacob, sure.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Jeffy is going to send you a wedding present.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Guilty, I do. I do perform at weddings, so you
can hire me. But Jacob, the good news is that
you got the truth right, That's what you were after
here the whole time.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
We wasted six months on this relationship. But I mean
that's another positive.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Well, hey, you know, since we're friends legitimately, let's go
out and spend the rest of the week drinking. I'm
up for it.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
What do you mean us right? Yeah, drinks on Jacob
cool brooking Jeffrey in the morning.
It's awkward.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's awkward Tuesday phone call. Is there any circumstance where
you're out somewhere and you see a friend's significant other
doing something that they shouldn't be doing and you decide
to keep your mouth shut? Oh, because, I mean you
can rationalize it in your head, like you know what,
it's not really any of my business. I don't want
(00:25):
to jump to conclusions and stir up drama if that's
not really what's going on. My eyesight really isn't that
good anyway? That could have just been a mannequin and
I'm totally seeing.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
It's just like you got to meet an ice cream
on a non cheat day?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Yeah, is there any chance you do that? Or do
you go tell your friend immediately what you saw?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
It depends depends on the relationships with grocery shopping with somebody?
Speaker 4 (00:49):

She got mad at you, Yeah, because she got mad
at me.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
You a lie it's upset. That's how it works. It's
like anybody who's accused of cheating will be.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Like, no, you were cheating on me.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
But that's the thing I thought I wanted to give
her like the medicine of the doubt, and I wasn't
trying to be aggressive about it or like it like
accusing her right And now she's not answering my calls.
This was just the other night, just this week, and
so I need advice. I need advice on how to
handle it.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Ask you, are you still hoping that she's not cheating,
Like there's still.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
A possible that she is cheating?
Speaker 3 (05:17):
In my mind, there's no possibility that she's not cheating.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Okay, well, I think you're saying. Everybody in this room
is kind of in agreement. It looks really bad for
her right now, and it's very very likely that something
is happening behind your back.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
I feel like we have not just out of the
fact she could be a jewelry heist person access a
lot of jewelry and she's scared because we just caught her.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
That is a pretty frequent thing that we get on
the show.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
I mean, like you want to what you want to
get the truth out of her.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Well, yeah, I really am still holding out hope for
it to just be something that she's like embarrassed about,
doesn't know how to bring it up.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Yeah, I mean it's embarrassed that I was with my fiance.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I think that's a highly likely possibility when we call
her here.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Yeah, they probably haven't gotten married yet. Yeah, now you
didn't see a wedding band.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah, it's totally different now, Jake. I'm sorry that you're
going through this, but we're gonna try and give you
a little bit of advice here before we call your
girlfriend Shannon and let you ask her the question, what
was going on when my friends saw you out the
other night at a lounge wearing an engagement ring with
another guy?
Speaker 3 (06:29):
No matter what happens, like, you're the winner out of this,
she's the sucky one.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Okay, you don't have to hit on him now, he's
still with somebody. We'll get to that in a second.
Your awkward Tuesday phone call is coming up right after this.
It's awkward.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
It's Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
It's awkward Tuesday phone call. If you're just joining us
for the awkward Tuesday phone call, this is what we know.
Our listener, Jacob has a girlfriend of about half a year.
She was spotted out recently at a lounge with a
different guy wearing an engagement right like it need to.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Be taking notes, Jeff so right, Yep, that's weird, not good.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
When Jacob brought it up to her in a fun way,
he expected her to laugh and explain, Oh, it's just
this stupid situation. I had to wear it. It was a
big joke. But no, she got upset and left and
has not spoken to him since. That's why he needs
our advice today on what to say to get his
girlfriend to just tell him the truth of what is
(07:29):
really going on. Yeah, it's the least that he deserves. Right,
what's your advice.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
To Jacob man, Jacob, it's not looking good.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
It's not really advice.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
I'm just like you because if all of those things
are what happened for real, then it's one hundred percent
she's cheating, like there's no way around it, right.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Like a cauld I get advice on how to handle it.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yes, yes, this has been pretty hopeless so far. You
just told him a situation.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
You were going to take control of this situation, okay, right,
and you were going to tell her. You need to
tell me the truth now. You need to rip it
off like a band aid. Ripe it off like a
band aid, because if she waits any longer, it's only
gonna get worse. Like you deserve the truth. And if
she has ever respected you ever in the time that
she's known you, now is the time to show that.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
There it is.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Yeah, yeah, okay, there was actually a little bit of
advice in there.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
Good job, I edit out the whole front of that part.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Every week I give great advice. Okay, Jose what about you?
What do you think? Remember you need to make her
feel comfortable.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
Remind her, honey, I want you to know first I
love you, okay, And whatever you say in this conversation,
I promise.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
Not to judge what.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
We listen and we don't judge.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
That's a TikTok tracks.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
TikTok. You know what, do you judge it, then maybe
she will be comfortable.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
To I think actually all of us could take that
advice in this room. We should listen and not judge
her yet, because there could be a logical explanation for this.
We're all going to look really stupid if we're being
as hateful as gis towards her.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
She would have just said the logical thing. If it
was logical, Jeff, she wouldn't have like run out.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Of the room. You know what.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I don't want to look stupid, so listen and then.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Just don't get me wrong, you guys. If this doesn't
go my way, I am fully welcome to judge.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yes, that's actually what we do best on the show.
Let's call her, we'll see if Shannon picks up, and
then we'll step away and let you make your awkward
call and we'll be here if you feel like you
need a little bit of help, okay, with good luck.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Hello, Hey, it's me.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
I said, I don't feel like talking right now.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
No, we need to talk right now. What do you mean,
not feel like talking right now? That's not fair.
Speaker 7 (09:52):
Because you just seem really upset about something that honestly
I do not feel like talking about.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Well I don't. How do you think I should feel
about it? Like what, I want to get this I
want to get this over with. I want to hash
this out.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
Okay, then just you know what, just move on.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
What we have to hash out.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
We don't have to.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Hash out anymore. Okay, Sorry, am I not supposed to
be upset when my buddy comes to me saying that
you have an engagement ring on and you're hanging with
some other guy. Like, what is that? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
What is that? No?
Speaker 4 (10:24):
I'm sorry? What your theories? All right? I deserve an
explanation here, Like, it's my understanding. We've been together for
six months now, like we're boyfriend and girlfriend, and my
understanding we're not seeing other people? So am I wrong here?
Speaker 6 (10:44):
Jacob?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
I don't want to hurt you.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
See it's a little late for that. You just need
to tell me whatever the truth is. Okay, I can
handle it.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
It's hard to explain.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Well can you try? Can you try for me here, please? Shannon?
Speaker 7 (11:07):
Well, you know my friends Sierra, right, yeah, I know Sierral. Okay,
So a couple of months ago, she set up this
like hangout with some old friends. She was saying, we
hadn't seen him in a while. Could I just come
and catch up?
Speaker 4 (11:24):
What does this have to do with us?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I'm getting here. This is not this is an easy okay.
So one of the guys who was there to hang like,
well he was my ex so.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
What what does that even mean?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
So we hooked up and I didn't know what to
say to you, because you're so sweet to me. I
couldn't God, and I started dating him again.
Speaker 6 (11:54):
And I know it's messed up, I know, but in
my head, I was like, I've always just wanted to
have a forever relationship, be married, and so I had
it in my head that I was just going to
say yes to whoever proposed first. And he proposed a
few nights ago.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
So so wait, sorry, you're actually you're really engaged. I
thought I really thought there'd be some other reason to it.
Speaker 7 (12:28):
No, no, I am, I'm engaged to someone else.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
I'm really sorry. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Oh God, what is that?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Okay? Oh my god, Shannon, we've been listening to this culture.
You're on the radio right now with a show called
Brook and Jeffrey. In the morning, we're doing something called
awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Oh what look, you weren't answering my calls. And I
can know how to address this with you. I've been trying,
and so I called a radio station to help me
get a hold of you.
Speaker 6 (13:05):
Yeah, and normal, God, I believe you did this on
the radio.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Maybe you shouldn't have been cheating. Yeah, we do a
lot of these phone calls, I'll tell you, Shannon, and
we don't normally get a lot that end like this.
Usually it's somebody playing a joke, there's some hilarious misunderstandings.
Turns out, Shannon, you're just a two timing cheater.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Okay, I'm sorry. She said that she can't believe this. No,
I'm sorry. I can't believe that you're actually engaged and
you hid all of this from me, Like, hello, are
you dating?
Speaker 1 (13:41):
For? Your engaged to this guy?
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Who are you?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Why do I have to answer questions to you?
Speaker 6 (13:46):
I don't even know.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Who I'm talking to at this point. Well you think
I'm just gonna answer some questions for some people I've
never talked to you before.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Well it's pretty valid to the situation.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
Guy Jacob's friend, and we're defending Jacob.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
And a friend he called the radio station. Now he's
your friend.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yes, we're really cling. You don't know us.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Jacob is my friend, Like I still want him to
be part of my life.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Sorry, after all of this, you think Jacob would still
want to be around you? Yeah, so your friend?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Couldn't we stay friends? Like I even ask my fiance
to have our wedding like a year so you could
have some time to heal. Because you are a good
friend and why there I want you in my life.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Okay, wed the year so that your current boyfriend over
you that he can go to the Jacob.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
I mean, are you insane? It's got to be a joke.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Well, what does your schedule look like next next time?
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Joke?
Speaker 6 (14:47):
I wouldn't joke.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
You're a special guy.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Yeah, okay, I was joking.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
My schedule next year is figuring out when she's on
her honeymoon and burning up her apartment.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Oh, let's bring it back a couple, Jacob. We're on
tape here, so this can be used in the court of.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
It can help you.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
To move on.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Okay, yeah, ok yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
You guys, you don't know me. But I'm not a
bad person. Yes, maybe I made a mistake.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
Maybe I should have broken up with Jacob earlier, but
I'm not a bad person.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Maybe, Jacob, are you willing to call this strike one
and give it two more strikes? You know, for in
the name of friendship?
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Yeah, I think all nine innings are over.
Speaker 7 (15:32):
Sports analogy Okay, I wish Jacob well, I hope he
has a great life.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I don't know what to say to you, Shanon, honestly,
But Jacob, sure.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Jeffy is going to send you a wedding present.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Guilty, I do. I do perform at weddings, so you
can hire me. But Jacob, the good news is that
you got the truth right, That's what you were after
here the whole time.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
We wasted six months on this relationship. But I mean
that's another positive.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Well, hey, you know, since we're friends legitimately, let's go
out and spend the rest of the week drinking. I'm
up for it.
