Hey, it's Brooke and Jeffrey, and you have found the second day podcast. Oh, thanks for the woo, Ashton. You're welcome. Yeah, we don't always get Ashton Woo in the back there. A little weak, but... Well, you know, it's a little awkward. I thought it'd be one brand. Yeah, all right, it's there.

And we got a brand new episode for you today. brand new awkward Tuesday phone call. And then on our YouTube page, if you haven't checked that out, or if you're not already listening from there, at Brooke and Jeffrey, we've got a in-studio video where you can see us. Yes. You can see us. React live, do it live. That is up, of course, on our YouTube at Brook and Jeffrey, which is an awkward Tuesday.

That's the second one. So double awkward Tuesday. There it is. Yes. And what do you got for comments? Yes, I was excited because on yesterday's second date, Allie Tulip commented and said, This was so funny. I just discovered you guys today.

Oh my gosh, welcome. So, Ali, I hope you're still here today. Shoot. She's like, what? What terrible algorithm did I fall into? Well, it's this one. Uh-huh. Welcome.

Bye. Your brand new episode starts right now. You ever think the universe is actually kind of lazy? No, Jeff. Wow, Jeff. The universe has a purpose. I mean, it sends you these big cosmic signs. Yeah.

And then that's it. Yeah, I got to figure it out. Yeah, that's like pointing to a messy kitchen and saying, looks like the dishes in the sink are pretty dirty. Just thought you should know, okay, bye. You bring up a really good point. Thanks a lot, universe. Yeah, what are you doing, universe?

Nothing. And today, we're going to need to roll up our sleeves once again because one of our listeners is certain that it was the universe talking when she met her dream man. Yeah, but it's on the universe, on the floor. phone helping her out right now? I think not. The only problem, the way they met was kind of a disaster. So now

she's asking us to help clean the dirty dishes that the universe left in our sink. Oh no. It's a brand new awkward Tuesday phone call coming up right after this. It's awkward. It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday phone call.

You never know where you're going to meet that special someone who changes your life. It could be at a coffee shop. or at a bar or under that bar or even behind a podiatrist's office when both of you are looking to add more pieces

to your personal footskin collections you just never know oh look at I found a callus it matches mine let's put them together and make a heart and you know what today's listener is proving once again love can show up in some pretty random places

oh man And sometimes it just needs a little extra nudge to get it going. Good for you. Everything's going to sound romantic after Jeff's intro right there. You're welcome. That's what we're here to do to help out our listener, Shelby. So Shelby, is it safe for me to say that you're in love? Whoa.

I don't know. You know, I have a huge crush on this guy, so I definitely can say that part of things. Okay. We don't want to scare him off is the thing. So maybe in your head you feel one way and your mouth says another thing. I guess. Yeah. Sometimes you've got to hold it in for just a second.

That's fair. Well, tell us about the strange place that you met this guy. Okay, so this is going to kind of sound bad, but I kind of hit him. Hit him? With your fists? No, God. No, no, no, no. It was with my car, with my car.

What the heck? You hit him with a car. He's a pedestrian, and he was like that? No, no. He was in another car. And before you jump to conclusions, I know, this is all sounding so crazy, but there was no drinking or smoking. There was nothing. It wasn't anything like that.

Okay. I don't think any of us actually was thinking that until you said it. You jumped to a lot of weird conclusions, so I think that it was valid for her to give that. I do appreciate you clarifying for all of us. I was distracted. So that's kind of like the big part of it. You were on your phone. Is that what you were saying?

No. So, okay. So we were at a four-way stop. I saw him in his car and I was like, oh, my God, like, he's gorgeous. I just, I kind of was like days out. and I kind of bumped the back of his car. Oh. Oh.

Wait. You could tell he was hot. Sorry, you said you were at a four-way stop. So it wasn't like you were behind him. You were like across from him? Yeah. So like I'm picturing you guys are like he's crossing the road and then your car comes behind him and hits like kind of the back at the side. Not a T-bone and elbow.

Does this feel like the insurance intake questionnaire all over again? I mean, well, that's the thing like I obviously didn't do it on purpose. Like it was a total. accident. I was just distracted. Okay. But we, of course, we exchanged information about the insurance, like he said. Well, so before the exchange

of insurance, did you, like, talk to him? Like, what was that interaction like? Okay, yeah. So we ended up pulling over, and he wasn't, like, obviously, happy with what happened? It was like, you know, what are you doing? This is, like, a four-way stop, like, blah, blah.

Most people are so thrilled when people hit their cars. Hey, you'd be surprised how many people don't care about their cars. I've been looking to get this. thing fixed. Yeah, Alexis would know. She's the expert on... Yeah, it's a lot of people

I'm very thankful are nice. Okay. Yeah. All right. So he wasn't happy, but did you get his name? Uh, yeah,

it's Joe. Joe. Oh, cute Joe with the banged up car. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I was just so nervous. I kept apologizing. I was like,

I'm so sorry. Like, I told him that I dropped something in my car when this happened. So I was like, oh my God, I'm sorry. Like, sorry me, whatever.

Um, but yeah, then we did exchange information and our insurance and all that stuff. So then for the past few days, Like, I just can't stop thinking about him, you know? Like, maybe our cars were, like, supposed to hit each other. I don't know, you know what I mean? Like, maybe that was going to happen. So, wait, you haven't seen this guy since.

It's been a couple days, and you haven't seen Joe since the accident? No, no. But I did message him. At first, I was like, you know, you can call me about, like, anything. You know. About dinner and drinks, you know, whatever. Yeah, my schedule's totally free for most weekends, just in case you want to talk about it. And has he called you?

No. No. Joe, come on. Yeah. Wait, do you even know if he's single? Thank you. I don't, oh, I didn't see a ring, so I don't know. Who cares if he's single?

The universe made their cars collide. That's more important. Exactly. What are you calling for us? Because this is awkward, right? Like, this is awkward two things like, this is a awkward situation. I agree with you, Brooke. But yes, what advice are you looking to get today before you call, I'm assuming, Joe?

I, yeah, I just, like, I don't know. How do I tell him? like interested more than just an insurance settlement. Okay. Okay. How do you convince the man who you just hit with your car to say, the universe may have been doing this to bring the two of us together romantically without sounding creepy or weird about it?

Without saying that. Yeah. Without using those exact words. Have you ever asked a guy out before? No, I've kind of gotten lucky because, like, usually they come to me. So this is just kind of like a really random coincidence. And I was like, you know what? Like, it's my time to shine.

There you go. Okay. There you go. All right. Well, we're going to think of some solid advice to give you before we come back and let you call Joe and ask him out in a sneaky, fun, sexy way. Yeah. That's the only way to do it, Joe. With your awkward Tuesday phone call right after this.

Hold on. It's awkward. It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday phone call. You never know when love is going to hit you. sometimes literally with its car at a four-way stop. That's a good point, Jeff. Oh, love showed up.

Love sounds like it has a whiplash after that. Sometimes it feels like that, Brooke, because that's how our listener, Shelby, met a gorgeous guy named Joe, so gorgeous that she was distracted behind the wheel and rolled right into the back end of his vehicle. Yeah, that's all right, girl. Now, they did exchange information afterwards,

but the question is how do you go from, hey, I damaged your personal property to, hey, big boy, I would love to damage your property personally. That's what I'm talking about, Jeff. That's kind of a tough leap to make, which is why we have the experts here to provide some advice to Shelby. Brooke, how does she ask out the guy that she hit with her car? Shelby, you sound like outgoing, you sound like a confident woman. Am I reading that right? I definitely would say so, yeah See, drop the subtlety, girl, just go for it

Just ask him out That's what I would do Okay, and listen There is probably a 70% Failure rate Which is what I experienced in life But there's a 30% success rate And without great risk

You don't get great reward Exactly Your advice is tell her to gamble with love Yes, yes, anybody says no Because you're too aggressive or whatever Just remember Your car can always run into his car again. You know he's not for you, Jeff. I'm not sure what the advice was there, Shelby,

but what do you think about it? You know what? I like it. Like I said before, I feel like I've always kind of been the one that's been asked out in the past. And like, honestly, it hasn't worked out for me. And I think it's my time to control it. That's right. Yeah. Get it. Yeah, the universe is telling you to go for it. Okay. So what about Jose? Jose, what advice do you have for her? Okay, well, here's a strategy. Girls are annoyed by this, but guys absolutely love them. Oh, no. I'm talking about pickup lines. Okay.

You want her to use a pickup line? I got against this. Do you have some ideas for her? Of course. You say this. I am so sorry. I read the police report and I just saw that they charged you with DWG. Oh.

Driving while gorgeous. Oh. Right? And just let it hang. He absolutely has to respond to that. Wow. My zipper just went down. What do you think, Sheldon?

I feel like that one I'd be a little more nervous about. Yeah. And then I also feel like I would get the line wrong afterward. Yeah. You're like, driving well, good. Dang it. What was my G for? That's true.

You can't mess up the line. Okay, so both pieces of advice are be very, very aggressive to him when we get him on the phone. Got to put the phone out. Yeah, life's short, man. You got this. All right. You do got it, Shelby.

I'm going to dial this guy's number, and we're going to back away and let you make your awkward Tuesday phone call. We're here for you. Good luck. Here we go. It's Shelby. I don't know if you remember me. I was the one that hit your car.

Remember that last week? Yeah. Hi. Yeah. Hi. I've been actually trying to get in touch with you for a while. I'm glad that you remember me. I know it was probably like a crazy incident, so I'm so sorry about that.

I felt so bad. But, like, how are you? How are you doing? I'm good. Thanks for asking. I guess I, oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt you. Were you saying something?

No, I was actually going to say that it's kind of crazy. I was actually thinking about giving you a call. Oh. Oh, how come? So I wasn't really sure how to approach this because things got kind of started weird between us with the whole car. and insurance and stuff, you know? What? Right, right.

So this is, this is going to sound kind of maybe, maybe a little weird and kind of forward. Are you available Friday night? Yes, yes. Yeah. That is so cool and that is such a relief. So say around like six-ish, maybe? I'm so excited, yeah.

Absolutely. Six is perfect. Six works so well. Yes. Oh, that is so cool. Okay. So maybe I can just text you my address and you can come over. Oh. I mean, sure. If that's what you want to do, then absolutely. Absolutely. That works. Oh, my God. Yeah. That would be just perfect and scars and alignment and everything. And I don't really know if I should ask this over the phone because it's really kind of awkward. What's your going rate? What?

My what? I mean, like, how much do you charge per hour? What? I'm so sorry. I'm very confused right now. What exactly are you asking? I'm really sorry. Maybe this is one of those things where the payment comes like after the services

are rendered because like normally my ex like candles all the bookings, you know? Huh? What? Um, I'm a little confused. Are you, are you asking me if, are you asking me if I'm a prostitute? Oh, no freaking way, man. I'm trying to, you know, like, babysit my kids. You're a babysitter, right? Wait, you have kids? Oh, my God.

That's what she focused on. Oh, my God. Wait, you think she's a babysitter? What's going on here? Who are these guys? Hey, Joe, you're on a radio show. It's called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. We're not an agency for babysitters.

No. Oh. Okay. Or the other thing. Yeah, Shelby is a listener, and she told us about what happened when the two of you got into your little fender bender the other day. She wanted our advice on how to talk to you. Guys, this is weird. You're telling us.

Why do you think she was offering to babysit on Friday night? Well, because, all right, so we're changing information and everything. and, you know, we're on the side of the road, and I told her I was on my way to get my kids and that I was having trouble finding child care, and she's just like, oh, my God, you know, just call me whenever. And I thought that meant I'm a babysitter and available.

Shelby? Shelby. You didn't bring that up. I'm going to be so honest. I don't remember saying that. I know. You were flirting, huh? Do you remember him talking about his kids to you? No Girl

Oh my God How is that not tracking No Joe I'm gonna be so honest I think I was just so dazed In that moment That I just remember meeting you And thinking that you're really

You're really don't remember Are you telling me that Have you been checked for concussion? I don't think I got re-rounded that hard Sure Okay Can we ask her what in the week it is

This is not over though You said X You didn't say Right, current wife. You said X. Are you single? Yeah, I'm single, and I'm going on a date Friday night, and I thought I just had a babysitter arranged.

Oh, no. She was almost going to wingman you for another girl? I thought she was a babysitter. I didn't know any of this. That's, you can't get too mad at him. Well, I'm sure you're probably in a shaken state from all this. Like, you're probably dealing with, you know, your DWG. Oh.

What? dealing with your DWG. Smooth. You're bringing it up now. It's supposed to say charged with it. It's a DWG. Yeah. You got a DWG, Joe, from the cops.

You got to tell him the rest of it. Why? Why, Shelby? There's like no cops or police report. Like, we just exchanged information. You were there. No, Shelby, tell her the rest of it. Why did the cops give him DWG?

Because he was driving while gorgeous. Hey, now we're flattering. That was smooth. Yeah. I mean, that's probably one of the nicest things anybody said to me in a long time. Oh, wow. Five different child care. Ask her out, Joe.

I mean, you know, I could always make arrangements for the X to watch them instead, I guess. Wow. Was that mean you're going to ditch your date for her? Well, I mean, it was like a blind date thing, and like I wasn't really excited about going on in anyway. is one of those things where a friend is like you need to find love and get a woman in your life. Wow, you're jumping really far ahead. I think she's on the same page, though.

Yeah, Shelby, I feel like at this point you've gotten everything you needed out of your awkward call, right? I mean, yeah, this is such an awkward situation and you guys helped me so much, so I really appreciate it. I mean, Jose's advice came through with the DWG. You hear that world? Pickup lines work.

Wait, that wasn't your original ticket plane? We're out of time. Sorry, Joe. We got to go, but... Oh, man. Good luck on your date. All of them. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

And cheers to your nutrition. Today's episode is brought to you by Vinted. And if you guys are anything like me, my style changes with every season. I love keeping up with trends, but I'll go from loving one style to suddenly wanting a completely different wardrobe just a few weeks later.

And I definitely don't want to spend a ton of money every few months. And that's why I've started using Vinted. Vinted is a secondhand app that makes it easy for everyday sellers, people like you and me, to sell pre-loved fashion, and earn some extra money. So thanks to Vinted, what I've started doing is going through my closet, finding clothes I'm not wearing anymore, and selling them on Vinted. It's really quick and simple. You just list your item by taking a few pictures of it, and when it sells, Vinted sends you a prepaid shipping label. Plus, there's no seller fees, so you keep everything you earn. Then you can cash out your money, or what I like to do, use it right on Vinted to find some new clothes.

That way, I can refresh my wardrobe without feeling like I just spent a ton of money. So I get to clear out my closet, make some money, and find new pieces I actually love all on Vinted. If you're ready to clean out your closet and make some extra money, download the Vinted app for free and start listing. With no seller fees, you keep every dollar you earn. Man, that was like a one in a billion chance that all of that actually worked out the way it did. I know. Hey, it worked though. Yeah.

But now I'm a little bit concerned. About what? Why do I feel like all of our listeners are going demolition derby out on the roads trying to meet their special someone? Hey, you know what? We say, do what you need to do? I don't know if that's really, Arna. You don't have to hit it that hard. I would like this.

If you're at slow speeds, you already stop. You can't do that much damage. Why can't we do physical? Like, why can't I just walk into somebody and then ask a girl to exchange info? Yeah, you know what? The opinions expressed by the members of this show do not reflect the opinions of the opinions of, and in the entirety of Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Let's just put that out there.

This is a trend I don't want to be a part of, but I am glad that the two of them got together over it. I know. I hope we get an update. Oh, yeah, I want one. You know, either of her babysitting job or the date they go on. I'm not sure which.

You want to update on how her babysitting job was? Well, I want to know if that's what she ends up doing for them or if they actually, like, you know, fall in love or something. All right. You can send that directly to Brooke's Instagram. And Brooke Fox Foxx. We'll want that. We'll see.
