Ugh, we're so done with New Year, New You. This year, it's more you on Bumble. More of you shamelessly sending playlists, especially that one filled with show tunes. More of you finding Geminis because you know you always like them. More of you dating with intention because you know what you want. And you know what? We love that for you. Someone else will too.

Be more you this year and find them on Bumble. Why would you do that to me? Los Angeles, 2021. A friendly neighbor appears out of nowhere and promises to make all my dreams come true.

Yeah, and tricky. So sit back and enjoy your awkward Tuesday phone call on Sunday. Totally makes sense. Because why not? It starts right now. Let's play a round of is it friendly or flirty? Oh.

Ooh, I like this game. Our first contestant is Alexis. Alexis, can you tell me, does this sound friendly or flirty? Hey, boys. Hey, how you doing? Can you tell me does this sound friendly or flirty? Worst Brooks said that at her child's PTA meeting, so it doesn't look great for her. I was talking to the second grade boys, Jeff. Yeah, okay. No, wait, no, no. Made it worse. Not in a funny way.

Oh God. No! The thing is, one of our listeners overheard her husband saying something even more suspicious and cringey than that. Wow! And now she's wondering if she's just being paranoid or if something actually weird

is going on you're gonna hear it in your brand-new awkward Tuesday phone call that's coming up control yourself we're doing it right after this It's awkward. It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday phone call. Ladies, if you're ever curious about what your husband or boyfriend is doing when he's not with you, just slashes tires and offer to give him a ride. Oh, what the heck?

Tire slashing is one of the pillars of a strong, healthy relationship. As long as he doesn't find out you're the one doing it. If you have a shared bank account. That's really not wise Look your husband's cars are constantly in trouble, and you're saying you're not the one behind it That's just you could spend more time with him. That's just because I like to run the tires right up against the curb Listen her Julia didn't go that far as to slash her husband's tires. So you're disappointed?

But she did give him a ride recently and apparently found out something very interesting. So interesting, she needs our help. So Julia, welcome to the show. Hi, thanks guys. Hey, how long have you been married, Julia? Three years. Okay.

Tell us what's going on, why'd you email us? Well, I'm not real sure what's going on I witnessed something but I don't know fully what I saw or if I'm jumping to conclusions You sound so sweet it sounds like you're not upset like I can't tell well, I'm worried but I'm also just trying to be rational I'm trying to not be like super reactionary, but I'm freaking out a little Freaking out with something involving your husband. What's his name? Yeah. Okay, so his name is Harry and A couple weeks ago. I took him to his hair appointment. We normally have we have separate cars So normally I wouldn't do that sort of thing, but his is in the shop.

Okay. I offered to drive him, because I saw it was on our calendar, and he was like, no, I'll just take an Uber. I mean, that would throw up a little bit of a red flag for me, but. Okay, you're right. Did he agree to let you drive him?

He did, and when we got there, he was like, we had a big hurry to get out of the car, and I was like, no, I'm gonna go in with you, I'm gonna check and see if they have the hairspray that I use okay you're flying you're fine just what just pick me up in an hour he's acting weird like an embarrassed junior high kid you know not wanting his mom to be seen that is what it was like okay objectively a little strange so I go in with him and I'm looking and they call his name and then the stylist comes out and of course she's a gorgeous girl. I mean she's just

absolutely beautiful. I mean isn't it a requirement to become a stylist? I'm the one that isn't drop dead beautiful. That's what you want. It would feel good to have somebody who's really really beautiful styling you. You don't want like Rumpelstiltskin coming in. My stylist has roots bigger than mine. She's like I don't want like rumple still skin coming A certain way Well, it was just very obvious that this was not the first time he's seen her and they seem very friendly and familiar with each other. Well, I mean, it's a hairstylist, they're friendly. I mean, they know each other well.

There's more, there's more. So as soon as she showed up, he was like, all right, you probably gotta get going, see you soon, bye. Like he was literally suing me out of the door. Oh, no. What is happening? This is. Yeah. And so then there's this petition, you know, like you come into the place

and there's a reception desk and then like a petition. And then on the other side is where all the chairs and all that. Right. I can picture that. I walk around the petition and I open the door and I didn't go out. I just closed the door, like made it sound like I left. And I hung out there for a minute behind the petition and listened.

What'd you hear? And they were just laughing and giggling and flirting. And he was laughing like a moron at everything she was saying. And then she started complimenting and like, oh, your hair feels so good. You've been doing so good at taking care of it. Not to defend what they're doing at all, but sometimes stylists will be extra friendly and extra nice in order to get a better tip. I was thinking that.

That still doesn't dismiss her husband's flirting back. You know what I mean? That doesn't make you feel better. Or his weird behavior. Yeah. I don't know. Like I understand maybe you have a little bit of a crush and there's nothing wrong with that but to have been trying to get rid of me and not want me to come in, I just feel

like that behavior is kind of bad. It would have been nicer if he had been like, hey, don't say nice things about me. I'm married, OK? Just cut my hair and shut up. No, but normally, like a stylist relationship, that's the first thing you talk about is your significant other. It's literally the first thing that comes up.

So that's not a good sign that that's not what they were talking about to me. Yeah, I've been thinking about it's been a couple of weeks And it's just like I can't get out of my mind I don't know how to bring it up to him because I don't want to come across as super jealous or defensive but it's really starting to Eat at me, and I'm kind of getting scared about it Told him that you heard stuff or you were there. Oh, yeah that she was sneaking around Haven't told him that you heard stuff or you were there. Oh, yeah that she was sneaking around

You know before we help it's a good point no, I did not I did not tell him that I stayed and heard them flirting Have you booked an appointment with that stylist to see if she's equally flirty and touchy with you And then tell her like some really bad hygiene habits that he has. But that's gonna be step two in this process. Step one is getting our advice in a few minutes here before we let you make an awkward Tuesday phone call to your husband to ask what is going on between him and the hairstylist. Oh my god is he just gonna tell you it just seems crazy. I mean, I mean Brooke that all depends on your advice And if it's actually good for once I just hope it's some innocent flirting that we're blowing out of proportion. I mean, honestly, that's best-case scenario We'll find out when we call him and do your awkward Tuesday phone call right after this.

After you get married, is there anybody that you are still allowed to flirt with? Brooke wanted me to ask that question. I'm not really sure why. Oh my God. I mean, there's a difference though, so between innocent flirting like flirting with a cash register lady Yeah, or like there's something else going on well Mad if you caught your husband flirting with your Alexa My god he has called her pretty twice The realization Some people may be okay.

Definitely not with your hairstylist though. That needs to be off limits. Well, and especially when he's shooing her out the door as soon as he gets there. Exactly. Also, you see your hairstylist a lot. Yeah, and that's why our listener Julia has reached out because she caught her husband flirting and laughing with the pretty woman cutting his hair Sent up some red flags first so she wants to confront him about it, but doesn't want to get too weird and defensive So before we call Harry Jose. What's your advice for her? I feel like the way to disarm him is to give the stylist a compliment first

Okay, guys are talking and you're like by the way your barber is super cute, honey I mean if I was you I wouldn't have even came home. Oh, oh, right Okay, then you just gauge his reaction. What do you think Julie are you able to give the hairstylist a compliment? I'm just trying to figure out like how I would have to work it into the conversation since it was like two weeks ago See that's the way okay, because the thing is, is if you accuse him, it's just not going to go well. I think you say, oh my God, it's been bugging me for two weeks. Your hairstylist looks so familiar and I couldn't place it.

And I remember I know her. Whoa. Where do you know her from? Could be anywhere. We're in a book club. We do wine together. Book club? Do you guys have kids yet? Where do you know her from could be anywhere? We're in a book club Like you could name anything honestly because if he freaks out that you have a connection to her that's not a good side Brooke does have the best lies to her significant

Knows how to twist the truth. Is that helpful to you, Julia? Are you comfortable lying to your husband right now? But what if it's perfectly normal, and he wants to know where I know her from and tries to follow through on that? But it's good if it's perfectly normal. I mean, sure, you look like kind of a controlling, jealous woman.

You're confused. You thought you knew her. All you have to do is tell a man, you're just so hot. It's hard for me to imagine Julie that's our best advice for you take whatever you want from it, but I'm dialing your husband Harry right now I'm gonna let you make your awkward Tuesday phone call, okay? Okay. Hello. Hey babe. Hey, how are you doing?

Good. Good. Good. I didn't recognize the number. What are you calling? Yeah, sorry. No, I'm just, uh, I'm at work'm at work and I just had a question for you. I was been thinking about it and it just keeps flipping my mind.

So I wanted to run if I, while it was in my head. Oh, go ahead. Yeah. So a couple of weeks ago, when I took you to the salon to get your hair cut, your stylist was so, she was so nice. Like she seemed really, really outgoing and personable and I'm looking for a new stylist.

And so I was kind of curious if you know if she's taking new clients. Oh. Okay. Why don't you already have a stylist? Well, you know, the last couple of times that I was with Jasmine, I don't know, I just felt like she kind of fried my hair a little bit with a color and talked to her about it, and she kind of got annoyed at me.

And it feels weird. And so I didn't know if maybe you'd want to give me a referral. Yeah, I think I don't. I think she mentioned she's totally booked up. I barely get into there. I don't know, I'd have to talk to her. It might be a stretch to get you in, to be honest with you. Cool. Okay.

Well, that brings up another point that I guess I need to get to. When I dropped you off, I didn't actually leave the salon. I just kind of like opened the door and then I like stayed and hung out and I heard the two of you talking and it was a lot of flirting and giggling and... You stayed? I thought you said you were gonna get groceries. I did, I did go get groceries. You said you were gonna get a mac and cheese.

I did, but you were acting weird. Okay, good. Like you didn't want me to drop you off and then you didn't want me to come in and then when she came up, you were like trying to shoot me out the door and I was just feeling really... Well, I just know you're busy.

I just know you're really busy. I don't want you to stress out. That's not what it felt like. It really felt like you were trying to get rid of me and like you didn't want me there. And that just blew up the red flags. And so I felt like I needed to stay and just see what was going on. And I mean, is there something going on? Is there something that you need to tell me?

No, I mean, what'd you hear? I could hear you laughing. I mean, she would say something and you hear? I could hear you laughing. I mean, she would say something and you were like, oh, you're so funny. I mean, it was like, it was weird. It's not the way you laugh when we talk. I just, I'd never heard it.

And it's, I don't know. It was just a weird energy and she was so flirty. And so- Okay, but I got a confession. I wanted to keep it from you, but I'm trying to get this 10% discount from her. And the only way is that if she thinks like I'm into her, it's really for you. It's really for us. Wait, what? How does that work?

Well, you know, I just tell her I'm single. So she thinks that she has a reason to give me the discount. That's it. So she just gives discounts to single guys that she likes? Yeah. Wait, so how does she even believe that you're single though? Cuz I walked in with you Yeah, I mean she asked about you and everything, but I just told you you were my aunt Am I being punk? Yeah, Harry man Oh my god. Am I being punked or something? I didn't know we were dealing with an idiot. Well, yeah.

Harry man. Need to let you know that you're on the radio right now with a show called Broken Jeffrey in the Morning. This is called Awkward Tuesday Phone Call. Oh my god. Julia listens to us and asks for help today because she saw that interaction between you and your hair stylist. Which she obviously read right you were flirting with her. But not, it's not genuine flirting. There's nobody who gives 10% discounts for single hot guys.

That doesn't exist. I don't know, I could get behind that. What's this hairstylist place that you go to, Harry? Because I could lay that on. I'll tell you about it later, we'll get off the phone after you guys. Wait a minute, would you believe him, Jeff? It doesn't really matter what I believe. It's what Julia. This is her You know marriage Julia. Do you believe him a 10% hot guy discount? I I do believe him

He's not he's not a liar. He doesn't lie to me. I mean, I think I think he's very truthful I just I think it's stupid and I think it's really insensitive Wait stupid on his part or stupid on the hairstylist part. It is a bad business choice for her Wait stupid on his part or stupid on the hairstylist part? I think it is a bad business choice for her. Yeah, it is a bad business choice for her. Babe, like I said before, this is a discount that I'm getting for you and I. Look, I admit, I probably should have told you about it. That's my fault.

Okay, that's my bad. I promise I'm not up to anything foolish or adultery-ish or anything like that. Adultery-ish. Wait, so wait. You have no romantic interest in actually getting together anything like that. Okay. Adultery-ish. Wait, so wait. You have no romantic interest in actually getting together with the star host. No, no, no. So you would rather just pay the 10%

and tell him stop flirting. Yes! Thank you Alexis. No, absolutely not. How would you feel? The economy is tough these days. I'm getting my 10%. Harry, your wife is clearly uncomfortable with this interaction. No matter how much money it saves, she doesn't like it. So Julia, what would you like to see Harry do going forward?

That was almost marriage counselorish. I like that. It's kind of like what do you want from him at this point? Well I would say at the very least is to be honest with her. You don't want him to switch stylists you're cool with him still going to her. I'm just not down with the dishonesty and like where that leads I mean, how would you feel if I wore a mini skirt to the dentist try to get a discount? I'd actually believe a dentist giving this

Are you comfortable are you able to change ever so slightly to make your wife happy? Yes, I will definitely accommodate. Alright! That's a good answer, Harry. Good job. Wow, why can women can change a man? I didn't realize that. Look at us. He's changing. He's not working with the hair designer. What? Baby steps, okay?

Calling Julia his aunt. Which by the way was so insulting. Yeah, why are we not talking about that? Alright, well, you know what? I think we're in a better place now than we were when we started this phone call. Barely. Good luck to you two, your marriage sounds perfect. Thank you. Alright.
