Yeah, but don't be fooled. That is the second Date
Update podcast with Brooke and Jeffrey. And I'm just going
to say one of our listeners was about to empty
out their entire savings account to make their big dream happen.
It all started when they made one viral TikTok video
and uh, anyway, it turned into a thing. And you're
about to hear the thing in just a second. But
(00:23):
let's go to comments.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Yeah, Daniella said, I've been listening since I was seven
and I'm twenty two now and I will never stop. Yeah,
and I've always wanted to be jeff in the wild,
but I don't think that'll happen, considering he hates.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Going in public that long. Yeah, you could catch him
at a rest stop or a grocery store. Yeah, usually
his two head out. Yeah that's about it. In the woods.
Maybe I'll run into him somewhere out but randomly at
dive bars. Yeah, he really likes a dive bar that
plays karaoke. He's oh karaoke for sure.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
So favorite those are your hot spots to find twenty two,
You can go to all those places. All right, let's
get your awkward Tuesday phone call started.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
How do you tell someone that you love that their
dreams are definitely not gonna happen and you do not
support them? Oh wow, bro, didn't you put that in
your wedding vows somewhere?
Speaker 5 (01:14):
I did not.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
I could have sworn after your sister in law played
the violin.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
No, she did play the violin, but I did not
have that in my bounds.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
One of our listeners is having that very problem with
her boyfriend brook. Hell, come on, he's about to empty
out their entire savings account to make his big dream happen.
And it all started when he made one viral TikTok video.
We're gonna hear all about it and then try and
convince the boyfriend to give up on his dreams in
(01:48):
a brand new awkward Tuesday phone call. Next, It's awkward.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
It's Tuesday.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
It's awkward Tuesday phone call. We've been doing our show
for a while now, Yeah, and we have a lot
of people listening to us, and I think there's certain
moments for each person in this room that really stand
out as our most famous thing that we've done on
the show. Do I have one that's not voting? Well?
For you broke for like thirty years now, you can't
(02:18):
think of one big moment.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
You know, it all kind of blends together after a while.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Oh yeah, well, like one that really stood out for
me that I remember was when I did a parody
song about Ikea, and IKEA headquarters in Sweden actually made
all of their employees learn the song and sing it
at a big company event. Yeah, did you not see
that video? It was crazy, all these Swedish people sing
in this American zong.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
No wonder I don't remember our big moments. I missed
that video.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Now, every time I go into ike all the workers
give me side I like, that's the guy that met us.
But apparently one of our listeners, Beth has a semi
famous boyfriend.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Oh has he been on this show? We're all about
semi famous?
Speaker 4 (02:59):
I don't think so. But she is having some issues
with their new fame. How's it going?
Speaker 5 (03:05):
It's going okay?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Okay, I mean I'm curious to this guy is because
sometimes fame and infamy can be mixed up. Like, yeah,
he's not famous for like a mugshot or anything.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Right, No, it's not a mugshot.
Speaker 6 (03:20):
But yeah, my boyfriend Josh.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Went viral like six months ago. Oh yeah, so basically
it's got like five million views. Like this one video
went crazy and it's him throwing up yogurt in the
air and then catching it back in his mouth.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Oh, that got five million views.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Date this guy before that happened or after.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
No, we were dating before he went viral.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
But okay, so you're not just in it for the fame.
Clearly you're like.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Grandma, wait, do you see my boyfriend.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
It's funny because I'm like cringing, But then I'm also like, god,
I bet he makes so much more money than I do.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Now, I mean, it is kind of it's skills to
be able to catch all that mouth, I guess.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Okay, just going viral in general, no matter what it's about,
it always leads to more opportunities.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
You blow your page up.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Now, yeah, that chill Bonnie wants to endorse you.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Is that what's happening? Is he really famous? Now?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Well?
Speaker 5 (04:24):
I mean the initial video was wild, and then he
did a follow up one that got like, I don't know,
one hundred thousand views, and he's just I think like
he's more invested in it than like it's actually gonna
be a thing.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Okay, so he's trying to catch that fame.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
Yeah right the wa Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Yeah. It's like it was like about a week after
the videos came out, he started referring to himself in
the third person. Oh, I'm Daddy Gert.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
He's got to be he's joking, right, He's not being serious.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
So I mean initially I'm like, Okay, he's just like
playing it up. But this is like he's trying to
make him solve this brand Daddy Gert, Daddy Gert. Yeah,
and he's like constantly using ridiculous phrases like go girt
or go home.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
And I pointed out that I kind of like it.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Though, Yeah, but go Gert's a thing.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Like that successful company.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
You know.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
I told him about that, but he got real flustered
by it. And it's just at that point I just
really understood that he's taking this so seriously.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Okay, Yeah, so you calling for relationship advice because I
have some thoughts.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
The girls are like, just break out with it. What
made you reach out to us for help? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (05:41):
So the video caught like a lot of views in
Austria and so The big thing now is he wants
to go to Austria and do a live appearance and
and bring merch. So basically the big problem is he
wants to take fifteen thousand dollars of our life savings
and just like go for this empire he's trying to build.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
He wants to take fifteen grand of your guys' joint
money to do it.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Yes, Oh you don't believe in his his Girt empire.
You're not on board the Girt train.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
No.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
I mean I just I really need to convince him
like to not do that. And it's just I'm in
a hard spot because, like I don't want it to
turn into a huge fight. It's definitely a bad idea.
But you know, I've just been listening to him and
he's like telling me all of these plans and it's
just like making me very worried.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Have you voiced any of your concern to Daddy Girt.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
I mean, I just I call my best friend and
I've been to her, but with him, I haven't gone
there because I just know it's not going to end well.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
Well.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
His head, he's thinking, oh yeah, well fifteen grand up front,
and then once I go there, we could make thirty brand.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Off of all the appearances.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
But if he doesn't, if it's not a hit, then
you're gonna be out fifteen grand.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Yeah, risk is what I'm trying.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I mean, has anyone from Ostrich contacted him, like any
agents or I mean it's serious like brands or something
like because maybe he's right, maybe there's something over there
for him.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
I mean he basically just tells me that he's contacted
a bunch of different people and he's working on some things.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
But I just I don't even know what that means.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yeah, it could be anything. Sounds like you're about to
be in a relationship with a famous yogurt man. Yeah someday.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Well it worked out for John Stamos. What did he
do he was the yogurt mascot for a while or
like the Chovanni dude, Yeah, work.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Marketing, hits very I mean.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
He was already famous, so there was that.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
But but she doesn't want that. Beth doesn't want Daddy
Gert to I think, realize.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Fame more than anything. She doesn't want Daddy Girt to take
fifteen g from her bank account, lose it.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Yeah, we're going to talk about this a little bit
off the air. We'll come back, give you a little
bit of advice, and we'll let you call your boyfriend
Daddy Gert and try and convince him to not seize
his fifteen minutes of fame and just move on go
back to his normal, boring life.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
No, boy, Yeah, I just think that's going to be
for the best.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Who would have.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Thought yogur would have made anyone's life more exciting?
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Yeah, all right, we're gonna do it with the awkward
Tuesday phone call. Next. It's awkward.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
It's Tuesday.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
It's awkward Tuesday phone call. Alexis I want to ask
you theoretically, if you're dating a great guy. He's fun,
he has a good job.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
This already's unrealist.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
He buy all the gifts that you could possibly want,
and then one time he makes a video of himself
tossing yogurt in the air and catching it in his
and go spiral for it. Could you still support him
and be with him after that? Or is that the
ultimate ditch?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
You know? It's worse than that. Might be making his
own T shirts. That's such an ick. Oh you don't
like them making up a T shirt? Okay, I might
do it.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Over the video, crying to go viral with it. It
just happened accidentally, and he's leaning in like I've decided
that I'm pro girt, which also should probably go on
one of his t shirts or service. I am pro girt,
but sounds like a probiotic yogurt. That's not what Beth wants.
No wants her boyfriend Daddy Gert to have his girt
(09:20):
dreams die right here and now. And Brooke, do you
have some advice for what she should do?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
You know this is hard for you because you haven't
actually expressed your real feelings about this at all. Yeah,
because it was fine before when it was his money.
Now it's your money that he's also trying to invest
in this, And that's when you need to say, listen,
I've been saving your feelings, but we've crossed the line
where I need to tell you how I really feel. Dude,
(09:47):
it's her money, it's fifteen grand.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Are you comfortable with that, Beth being honest with your boyfriend?
Speaker 5 (09:54):
You know, I feel like we're at the crossroads where
it's I don't do it now, like I'm going to
get sucked into this yogurt.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
Thanks for good.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Yeah, you're going to be part of the Girt Empire
and you don't want to be ose.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
What do you think Beth should do?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Just tell him this, Do you really want to go
to a place where there's openly rude people and dog
poop everywhere? Okay, bad facts about Austria and of many
things I've.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Heard, Austria is one of the most beautiful countries in
the world.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
No, Beth, can you forward him a link to bad
Austrian fact.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
I'm gonna collect my list of negatives along with the
whole spitting up yogurt.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Okay, exactly, all right, we have some advice there. I'm
not going to call it great advice, well, but hopefully helpful.
We're gonna dial Daddy Girt right now, your boyfriend and
let you have your conversation with him.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
You ready, Yeah, but do you mind just calling him Josh?
Speaker 6 (10:53):
Please?
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Okay, fine, Beth, this is your awkward Tuesday phone call.
So I guess we'll call him just Josh, called boring
old Josh and let you make your awkward call. Here
we go.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
You got good? Who's this?
Speaker 7 (11:14):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (11:15):
It's me, Hey, bag, so.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Hey, nothing. I just wanted to know if you had
a few minutes to chat.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
Yeah, what's going on. I've got a video to do.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
But oh okay, another yogurt video.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
Yeah, you know, making that moolah.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Yeah, I'm glad that you brought that up.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
Those videos make money now, I mean it's investment. So yeah, eventually, eventually,
don't worry, baby.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Wow, I just before we get into this empire, I
just kind of wanted to talk about the fifteen thousand dollars.
I'm just I'm not sure I'm quite comfortable spending that
kind of money.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
Yeah, but babe, we've talked about this. This is how
it works. You got to spend money to make money. Baby.
I'm not just an artist. I'm also an entrepreneur. So
if you want to get to girt Topia, you got
to pay the toll.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
You feel me, Okay, okay, but that's the problem. I don't.
I don't want to go there. No one wants to
go to girt Topia.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
Okay, just hear me out. I wouldn't have to do
my job anymore. Okay, you could quit your job. You
can manage me. We have a lifetime supply of yogurt
in the fridge from the highest bidder. There are so
many like.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
These are all really fun dreams to have. But like,
let's just be realistic for a minute here.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Okay, hold on, I think I am being realistic because
this can be huge, and I'm I know what I'm
I want.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
I want to support you, I do. I want you
to follow your dreams. But it's just so much money
and I just don't think it's a good time.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
Okay, look, it's it's too late. So I already bought
the plane tickets to Vienna. And no, no you didn't
yeah two months from now, baby, No, no.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
No, no, you did not spend our money without asking me.
Speaker 6 (13:15):
No, I didn't use our money. I asked your parents
if they'd invest and your dad wrote me a check
for five grand. They you what, who's this? What is
going on?
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Hey man on the radio right now with Brook and
Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Excellent opportunity to promote your business. Well that's why we're in.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
We're all invested.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
Oh my god, what is going on right now?
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Well this is called an awkward Tuesday phone call. And
Beth reached out to us because she wasn't sure how
to have this conversation with you about not spending fifteen
thousand dollars on the trip to Austria, because are you
serious right now?
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Of course, I'm serious. It's a lot of money to
throw into Daddy girkill.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
No, no, no, no, are you seriously that you just got
a hell of promotion right now? He's see this.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
I told you, Beth, you got to be straight with
Daddy Girt.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
I told you, bet you can manage this, and this
is crazy. Thank you for ditch. By the way, Beth, you're.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Better at managing his Girt life than you even realized
you were. I didn't.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
I didn't mean for this to be a positive thing
like this was supposed to be a wake up call
for you.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
I didn't want to tell you like this, But this
is actually great because what's going to happen is I
wanted to surprise you with the trip, and we're going
to go and we're gonna have so much fun, and
Daddy Gert is going to spoil you rutt.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
No, her dad is going to spoil her rut because
he's the one paying for this. How did you convince
her parents to give you five thousand dollars?
Speaker 6 (15:01):
Oh, parents, know that I'm going to double that triple back.
And for your information, I already got an appearance lined
up with Austrian roller Blady company. They like the idea
of eating on the go.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Oh, this is the same same business plans go.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Rolling.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
Yeah, please don't encourage him. Guys, you're not helping right now.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
I don't see how we can. I mean, even your
parents see the merit in gert Topia.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
You're being sarcastic. It is a terrible idea. I am sorry, Josh.
This is a It sounds like a fun trip. It
sounds like you're not having to pay both positives. But
this is not like your career. It's just one viral
TikTok video. It doesn't really mean that much.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
With over six million views on it. That doesn't just
happen for a one off thing.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
This is a business waiting to literally always happens for
a one off thing.
Speaker 7 (15:59):
I mean, she's got to buy into my dreams because
I have a dream, and that's what we do as spouses.
We got to support our loved one.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
These are spouses.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
You're married now, I mean in my in my mind,
I mean this is all part of the grand master plan.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Wow. I mean you could be the future missus Daddy Girt.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Wow, Mama Girt, Mama girt does not sound sex is
literally like, I didn't know that you could get worse
than Daddy Kurt and you.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
I'm not going to complete lost her words because I
get it.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
This is a lot is happening here. We probably need
some time for process. Let's just focus on one thing.
The trip that is already booked. It's happening already paid
for by your parents.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
It'd be really fun to go to Austria.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
I agree. I think you just go there and you
see what happens. Beth, what do you say?
Speaker 5 (16:51):

You can go to all those places. All right, let's
get your awkward Tuesday phone call started.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
How do you tell someone that you love that their
dreams are definitely not gonna happen and you do not
support them? Oh wow, bro, didn't you put that in
your wedding vows somewhere?
Speaker 5 (01:14):
I did not.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
I could have sworn after your sister in law played
the violin.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
No, she did play the violin, but I did not
have that in my bounds.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
One of our listeners is having that very problem with
her boyfriend brook. Hell, come on, he's about to empty
out their entire savings account to make his big dream happen.
And it all started when he made one viral TikTok video.
We're gonna hear all about it and then try and
convince the boyfriend to give up on his dreams in
(01:48):
a brand new awkward Tuesday phone call. Next, It's awkward.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
It's Tuesday.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
It's awkward Tuesday phone call. We've been doing our show
for a while now, Yeah, and we have a lot
of people listening to us, and I think there's certain
moments for each person in this room that really stand
out as our most famous thing that we've done on
the show. Do I have one that's not voting? Well?
For you broke for like thirty years now, you can't
(02:18):
think of one big moment.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
You know, it all kind of blends together after a while.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Oh yeah, well, like one that really stood out for
me that I remember was when I did a parody
song about Ikea, and IKEA headquarters in Sweden actually made
all of their employees learn the song and sing it
at a big company event. Yeah, did you not see
that video? It was crazy, all these Swedish people sing

No wonder I don't remember our big moments. I missed
that video.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Now, every time I go into ike all the workers
give me side I like, that's the guy that met us.
But apparently one of our listeners, Beth has a semi
famous boyfriend.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Oh has he been on this show? We're all about
semi famous?
Speaker 4 (02:59):
I don't think so. But she is having some issues
with their new fame. How's it going?
Speaker 5 (03:05):
It's going okay?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Okay, I mean I'm curious to this guy is because
sometimes fame and infamy can be mixed up. Like, yeah,
he's not famous for like a mugshot or anything.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Right, No, it's not a mugshot.
Speaker 6 (03:20):
But yeah, my boyfriend Josh.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Went viral like six months ago. Oh yeah, so basically
it's got like five million views. Like this one video
went crazy and it's him throwing up yogurt in the
air and then catching it back in his mouth.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Oh, that got five million views.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Date this guy before that happened or after.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
No, we were dating before he went viral.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
But okay, so you're not just in it for the fame.
Clearly you're like.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Grandma, wait, do you see my boyfriend.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
It's funny because I'm like cringing, But then I'm also like, god,
I bet he makes so much more money than I do.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Now, I mean, it is kind of it's skills to
be able to catch all that mouth, I guess.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Okay, just going viral in general, no matter what it's about,
it always leads to more opportunities.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
You blow your page up.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Now, yeah, that chill Bonnie wants to endorse you.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Is that what's happening? Is he really famous? Now?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Well?
Speaker 5 (04:24):
I mean the initial video was wild, and then he
did a follow up one that got like, I don't know,
one hundred thousand views, and he's just I think like
he's more invested in it than like it's actually gonna
be a thing.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Okay, so he's trying to catch that fame.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
Yeah right the wa Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Yeah. It's like it was like about a week after
the videos came out, he started referring to himself in
the third person. Oh, I'm Daddy Gert.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
He's got to be he's joking, right, He's not being serious.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
So I mean initially I'm like, Okay, he's just like
playing it up. But this is like he's trying to
make him solve this brand Daddy Gert, Daddy Gert. Yeah,
and he's like constantly using ridiculous phrases like go girt
or go home.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
And I pointed out that I kind of like it.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Though, Yeah, but go Gert's a thing.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Like that successful company.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
You know.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
I told him about that, but he got real flustered
by it. And it's just at that point I just
really understood that he's taking this so seriously.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Okay, Yeah, so you calling for relationship advice because I
have some thoughts.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
The girls are like, just break out with it. What
made you reach out to us for help? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (05:41):
So the video caught like a lot of views in
Austria and so The big thing now is he wants
to go to Austria and do a live appearance and
and bring merch. So basically the big problem is he
wants to take fifteen thousand dollars of our life savings
and just like go for this empire he's trying to build.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
He wants to take fifteen grand of your guys' joint
money to do it.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Yes, Oh you don't believe in his his Girt empire.
You're not on board the Girt train.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
No.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
I mean I just I really need to convince him
like to not do that. And it's just I'm in
a hard spot because, like I don't want it to
turn into a huge fight. It's definitely a bad idea.
But you know, I've just been listening to him and
he's like telling me all of these plans and it's
just like making me very worried.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Have you voiced any of your concern to Daddy Girt.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
I mean, I just I call my best friend and
I've been to her, but with him, I haven't gone
there because I just know it's not going to end well.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
Well.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
His head, he's thinking, oh yeah, well fifteen grand up front,
and then once I go there, we could make thirty brand.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Off of all the appearances.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
But if he doesn't, if it's not a hit, then
you're gonna be out fifteen grand.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Yeah, risk is what I'm trying.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I mean, has anyone from Ostrich contacted him, like any
agents or I mean it's serious like brands or something
like because maybe he's right, maybe there's something over there
for him.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
I mean he basically just tells me that he's contacted
a bunch of different people and he's working on some things.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
But I just I don't even know what that means.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yeah, it could be anything. Sounds like you're about to
be in a relationship with a famous yogurt man. Yeah someday.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Well it worked out for John Stamos. What did he
do he was the yogurt mascot for a while or
like the Chovanni dude, Yeah, work.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Marketing, hits very I mean.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
He was already famous, so there was that.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
But but she doesn't want that. Beth doesn't want Daddy
Gert to I think, realize.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Fame more than anything. She doesn't want Daddy Girt to take
fifteen g from her bank account, lose it.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Yeah, we're going to talk about this a little bit
off the air. We'll come back, give you a little
bit of advice, and we'll let you call your boyfriend
Daddy Gert and try and convince him to not seize
his fifteen minutes of fame and just move on go
back to his normal, boring life.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
No, boy, Yeah, I just think that's going to be
for the best.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Who would have.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Thought yogur would have made anyone's life more exciting?
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Yeah, all right, we're gonna do it with the awkward
Tuesday phone call. Next. It's awkward.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
It's Tuesday.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
It's awkward Tuesday phone call. Alexis I want to ask
you theoretically, if you're dating a great guy. He's fun,
he has a good job.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
This already's unrealist.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
He buy all the gifts that you could possibly want,
and then one time he makes a video of himself
tossing yogurt in the air and catching it in his
and go spiral for it. Could you still support him
and be with him after that? Or is that the
ultimate ditch?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
You know? It's worse than that. Might be making his
own T shirts. That's such an ick. Oh you don't
like them making up a T shirt? Okay, I might
do it.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Over the video, crying to go viral with it. It
just happened accidentally, and he's leaning in like I've decided
that I'm pro girt, which also should probably go on
one of his t shirts or service. I am pro girt,
but sounds like a probiotic yogurt. That's not what Beth wants.
No wants her boyfriend Daddy Gert to have his girt
(09:20):
dreams die right here and now. And Brooke, do you
have some advice for what she should do?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
You know this is hard for you because you haven't
actually expressed your real feelings about this at all. Yeah,
because it was fine before when it was his money.
Now it's your money that he's also trying to invest
in this, And that's when you need to say, listen,
I've been saving your feelings, but we've crossed the line
where I need to tell you how I really feel. Dude,
(09:47):
it's her money, it's fifteen grand.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Are you comfortable with that, Beth being honest with your boyfriend?
Speaker 5 (09:54):
You know, I feel like we're at the crossroads where
it's I don't do it now, like I'm going to
get sucked into this yogurt.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
Thanks for good.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Yeah, you're going to be part of the Girt Empire
and you don't want to be ose.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
What do you think Beth should do?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Just tell him this, Do you really want to go
to a place where there's openly rude people and dog
poop everywhere? Okay, bad facts about Austria and of many
things I've.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Heard, Austria is one of the most beautiful countries in
the world.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
No, Beth, can you forward him a link to bad
Austrian fact.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
I'm gonna collect my list of negatives along with the
whole spitting up yogurt.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Okay, exactly, all right, we have some advice there. I'm
not going to call it great advice, well, but hopefully helpful.
We're gonna dial Daddy Girt right now, your boyfriend and
let you have your conversation with him.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
You ready, Yeah, but do you mind just calling him Josh?
Speaker 6 (10:53):
Please?
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Okay, fine, Beth, this is your awkward Tuesday phone call.
So I guess we'll call him just Josh, called boring
old Josh and let you make your awkward call. Here
we go.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
You got good? Who's this?
Speaker 7 (11:14):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (11:15):
It's me, Hey, bag, so.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Hey, nothing. I just wanted to know if you had
a few minutes to chat.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
Yeah, what's going on. I've got a video to do.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
But oh okay, another yogurt video.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
Yeah, you know, making that moolah.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Yeah, I'm glad that you brought that up.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
Those videos make money now, I mean it's investment. So yeah, eventually, eventually,
don't worry, baby.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Wow, I just before we get into this empire, I
just kind of wanted to talk about the fifteen thousand dollars.
I'm just I'm not sure I'm quite comfortable spending that
kind of money.
Speaker 6 (12:01):
Yeah, but babe, we've talked about this. This is how
it works. You got to spend money to make money. Baby.
I'm not just an artist. I'm also an entrepreneur. So
if you want to get to girt Topia, you got
to pay the toll.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
You feel me, Okay, okay, but that's the problem. I don't.
I don't want to go there. No one wants to
go to girt Topia.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
Okay, just hear me out. I wouldn't have to do
my job anymore. Okay, you could quit your job. You
can manage me. We have a lifetime supply of yogurt
in the fridge from the highest bidder. There are so
many like.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
These are all really fun dreams to have. But like,
let's just be realistic for a minute here.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Okay, hold on, I think I am being realistic because
this can be huge, and I'm I know what I'm
I want.
Speaker 5 (12:50):
I want to support you, I do. I want you
to follow your dreams. But it's just so much money
and I just don't think it's a good time.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
Okay, look, it's it's too late. So I already bought
the plane tickets to Vienna. And no, no you didn't
yeah two months from now, baby, No, no.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
No, no, you did not spend our money without asking me.
Speaker 6 (13:15):
No, I didn't use our money. I asked your parents
if they'd invest and your dad wrote me a check
for five grand. They you what, who's this? What is
going on?
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Hey man on the radio right now with Brook and
Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Excellent opportunity to promote your business. Well that's why we're in.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
We're all invested.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
Oh my god, what is going on right now?
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Well this is called an awkward Tuesday phone call. And
Beth reached out to us because she wasn't sure how
to have this conversation with you about not spending fifteen
thousand dollars on the trip to Austria, because are you
serious right now?
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Of course, I'm serious. It's a lot of money to
throw into Daddy girkill.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
No, no, no, no, are you seriously that you just got
a hell of promotion right now? He's see this.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
I told you, Beth, you got to be straight with
Daddy Girt.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
I told you, bet you can manage this, and this
is crazy. Thank you for ditch. By the way, Beth, you're.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Better at managing his Girt life than you even realized
you were. I didn't.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
I didn't mean for this to be a positive thing
like this was supposed to be a wake up call
for you.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
I didn't want to tell you like this, But this
is actually great because what's going to happen is I
wanted to surprise you with the trip, and we're going
to go and we're gonna have so much fun, and
Daddy Gert is going to spoil you rutt.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
No, her dad is going to spoil her rut because
he's the one paying for this. How did you convince
her parents to give you five thousand dollars?
Speaker 6 (15:01):
Oh, parents, know that I'm going to double that triple back.
And for your information, I already got an appearance lined
up with Austrian roller Blady company. They like the idea
of eating on the go.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Oh, this is the same same business plans go.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Rolling.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
Yeah, please don't encourage him. Guys, you're not helping right now.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
I don't see how we can. I mean, even your
parents see the merit in gert Topia.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
You're being sarcastic. It is a terrible idea. I am sorry, Josh.
This is a It sounds like a fun trip. It
sounds like you're not having to pay both positives. But
this is not like your career. It's just one viral
TikTok video. It doesn't really mean that much.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
With over six million views on it. That doesn't just
happen for a one off thing.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
This is a business waiting to literally always happens for
a one off thing.
Speaker 7 (15:59):
I mean, she's got to buy into my dreams because
I have a dream, and that's what we do as spouses.
We got to support our loved one.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
These are spouses.
Speaker 6 (16:08):
You're married now, I mean in my in my mind,
I mean this is all part of the grand master plan.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
Wow. I mean you could be the future missus Daddy Girt.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Wow, Mama Girt, Mama girt does not sound sex is
literally like, I didn't know that you could get worse
than Daddy Kurt and you.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
I'm not going to complete lost her words because I
get it.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
This is a lot is happening here. We probably need
some time for process. Let's just focus on one thing.
The trip that is already booked. It's happening already paid
for by your parents.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
It'd be really fun to go to Austria.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
I agree. I think you just go there and you
see what happens. Beth, what do you say?
Speaker 5 (16:51):
I my jaw. I mean it's already paid for, right,
