Hey guys, it's us The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast?

Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen.

We don't care where you hear it. Every family has its secrets. But what happens when you discover that your dad has been living a double life? That is not the look of an innocent man. Is everyone lying to me about who they are? I felt such desperation. I felt it was what I had to do. Listen to Deep Cover the Family Man on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is, getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place. I'm Akila Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 is about both of those things. As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority black city in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslave people. Listen to Rebel Spirit Season 2 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. June is Black Music Month, and on the Drink Chams podcast, we're speaking with the hottest names in the culture, like Sway Lee.

Do you realize how legendary you are? I appreciate that. I'd be seeing it, but I'm like, man, I still got, like, so much more to do. Like, Prince, he dropped, like, 30 albums. We dropped, like, five right now. Like, that's the rate we got to be going. Yeah, that's a good attitude. No matter the era, Drink Chams brings you the biggest names

and the most unfiltered conversations. Listen to Drink Chams from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Hey, I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance.

And then there's your body having its own program. Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So many things to look forward to today. Hey, welcome to the show. It's Brick and Jeffrey. You've found the official second day podcast. And today we've got a brand new episode that is your awkward Tuesday. Yeah.

And then if you want to watch one of these live in studio, we've got the awkward Thursday that's going up today on the YouTube. Do we say the YouTube? Just YouTube. No, just YouTube. Or is it like regional? Like, you know, where you're in California and you say the, the five, not I five. No. No, I know.

You're over thinking it. Okay. Just don't call it like the tube because that is not it. Ooh, I like that. I kind of like the two. Oh, I see, that's why you like it. It's bad. Subscribe on the tube, all right?

It's at Brook and Jeffrey. Your new episode starts right now. Some words in certain situations just should be. just should not be said unless you really, really mean them. All right. Yeah, definitely. Like bomb while you're boarding a plane.

Oh my gosh. Why would you ever? If you mean it. Or cockroach in line at a fast food restaurant. Oh, yeah. Or oopsies mid circumcision. Oh. Yikes.

Yeah, unfortunately for our listener, she said one little thing at the exact wrong moment. And now her romantic partner is completely avoided. her. You're going to find out the single word that she said that changed everything. Hopefully we can help make it right in your brand new Awkward Tuesday phone call. Next.

It's awkward. It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday phone call. How do you screw up a situation ship when both people are into it? Maybe we need to ask our listener, Juliana, who says her situation ship is suddenly ghosting her. And this is after six to seven months of constant, no drama hookups. Just hot consensual action night after night after night. Wait, every night?

And Jeff, no. This feels like more of a relationship than a situation. That's just what I'm picturing in my mind. But how did she mess that up? This is perfect for our show. Juliana, what did you do? We're blaming you immediately. Hi.

Hi. So from your email, you made it sound like it's possible it's your fault that this all got thrown out of whack. But let's start from the beginning. Tell us about this guy that you're in a situation ship with. Levi. Levi. Okay. And how do you define the situation ship? Well, I mean, when we started, it was definitely talked about that this would be casual. And he's 10 years older than me. So, you know, it had that like mysterious older man thing going on. And I'm. I was fine, and I am fine with it being casual. I really am. Okay. But the issue is I did start to catch some feelings. Oh, my God. Yeah, that'll happen. How could you not after six or seven months?

I mean, if you have it going on that long, that's so much time. That is true. But ends up for like a month or two, then that's what you plan. But then if it's like, you guys are bonding after all that time. It looks like intimacy. Yeah. Intimacy escalates. Don't they have a pill for that, though, something that you can like purge your feelings?

I wish. I know. Because I didn't expect to have these feelings happen. It was just supposed to be fun. And it all kind of just turned into something very real. Is this a good thing, though? Like, if you both have good feelings and you're falling for each other. Number one rule of situation should can't fall for them.

Yeah. So maybe you're falling Graham and he's not falling back? Yeah, what's going on between the two of you. I think that's really what it is because this is how I messed everything up. The other night at dinner, we were driving, and I don't know why. It was just kind of one of those moments where we were chatting and throwing little jabs at each other in a very loving way. And something just came out of me, and I was like, oh, my God, I love you. And it was like, oh, no.

You say you were catching feelings. You dropped the elbow. But I don't even think I meant it. I don't even think I meant, like, love, like, oh, I'm in love with you. It was just like, ah, this is so fun. And I love hanging out. Yes. It's like you're throwing it with your girlfriend.

Like, ah, I love you. I loved the chicken tenders that we split tonight in the same kind of way. Dude, what happened in the car right after that? Yeah, what was his reaction? Absolute silence. Okay, did a record actually scratch. It was awkward because he, like, grabbed my hand, and I thought maybe he's going to say something nice and romantic. But then he just said nothing, and he just held my hand.

And I just feel like. That was the silent death of, it'll be okay, sweetie. I won't talk to you ever again. So you took the hand holding as like a pat on the back. Yes, like poor thing. You poor thing, you have these feelings. That's not good. Could you have read it wrong, possibly?

I don't think so because after that he's just always got an excuse now. It's like, oh, I can't. I have to go to the gym or, oh, I'm going on a run. Like, why are you always exercising all of a sudden? That's a hard part about situationships. It's like you're living on this thin little edge and anything can topple you one way or the other, right? Yeah, and I just don't know how to get back to where it was.

Like, that's what I need advice on. I need advice on how to get us to pre-I-love-you bomb, you know? That's hard because even you've admitted that you are having deeper feelings for him than just the situation ship. It's like you're fighting yourself. Are you wondering, like, do you actually want that? Is that what you're saying, Jeff? Like, do you actually want to go back to the way it was?

Or just to something more comfortable? I want it to go back the way it was because it was fun and spontaneous. And if we were to fall into more feelings, then maybe that happens later. But right now, I just kind of want it not to be so serious. Okay. I don't know if this is out of bounds to ask, but in your situation, ship, are you still actively talking with us? other guys? Or is this like a solo situation ship?

No, it's good to ask because we need to know his side too. Well, the rules are that we don't talk about anybody else. That's why it's so casual because it's like none of us are trying to get our feelings hurt or upset. So we just don't talk about it. I have talked to other guys before, but I've not hung out with him the way that I hang out, you know, we die. It sounds like maybe he's talking to other women, though.

I mean, if it's the rule that you just don't discuss it together, that means that it's happening. Yeah, but she's doing it. He's also doing it. And maybe now that she's let her feelings be known, he's starting to look at the other women in his life, like, a less serious option. That makes her feel good, Jeff. I'm sorry to paint it that way. But, you know, that might be what's going on. Yeah.

So you want us to reach out to your guy, Levi, your situation ship. Well, give her advice and she reaches out to him. What are you looking to do with that conversation? I want to see if he is willing to go back to how we were. Can we be friends with extras, you know? Brooke, why are you opening your shirt right now? Yeah, Brooke, what are you? What is doing?

What is going on? I was talking about situation shifts. It's got Brooke all hot and bobby. Let me take this on. You know, we need to move on. Yeah, before Brooke tells me she loves you, Jeff. The feelings are too strong in this room. I was trying to be an active listener.

Okay. Too active, bro. Let's reset. Come back and give you some solid advice before you call your situation ship Levi and hopefully walk back the feelings that you put out there with your awkward Tuesday phone call. Oh, man.

Right after this. Hold on. It's awkward. It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday phone call. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Brooke's shirt is officially rebutton. so we can finally get back to business now.

Because everyone in this room is familiar with a situation ship. But if you don't know, the term basically means that two people are just kind of messing around with each other and have a loose agreement that things won't get too serious between. Messing around is weird. I just say casually dating. Yeah, around's accurate. Yeah, guys and girls say it different ways, but it means the same thing. It sounds really fun, bottom line.

But what you hear most of the time, I feel like, is ladies tend to not be into that sort of thing, at least not for very long. But that's not the case with our listener, Juliana, today, who is desperately trying to save her situation ship after she let the L word slip on a car ride home. Yikes. So she... It was only one time. It was one time, but it did a lot of damage. So she really is hoping she can take it back and make it all go away, get back to where they were. It is a tough one, though.

We need to get some advice from our co-hosts here. So, Brooke, what do you have for Juliana? So I'm thinking about situationships that I would have had. Of course, we didn't call it that back then. Yeah. But I did this guy, Super Caj for a bit. What was his name? Roy?

First and last? His name was Jeffrey. Oh. Is that funny? I am so sorry that I asked that. We should just end the segment now and this is going to go viral. No wonder she was unbuttoning. Anyway, I thought the point.

It's not the point. The point is he broke it off with me, but you can't care. Because, like, that's the agreement. So when you make this call, you can't emote. You have to be chill, no drama. Okay. Julian, are you hearing that? I mean, yeah, I can try.

I feel like my emotions are all over the place right now. No, you can't feel those. Nope. Just be fun and cool. Yes. Your words are what complicates everything. Fun and cool. That's the only thing you can be.

Button that back up. Yeah. Yeah, just open and free. I do think it's good advice. You do want to try to keep a cool head as much as possible, but it's up to you. This is your phone call. We're going to step away and let you do this. We're always on your side, though.

Know that. Okay. All right. I promise. Well, unless you say something super weird, then, yeah, we're jumping off the shit. But here we go. I'll try not to. Okay.

Yamadao, Levi's number. We'll see what he has to say. What's doing? Hello? Oh. What's going on? I didn't see that your phone number. This is some kind of weird call-restricted phone number.

What's going on? Oh, I don't know. Something must be kind of crazy with my phone. Who knows? Half the time it drops anyway. So how are you doing this week? Anything cool going on? Yeah, I'm actually going to go meet my friends from work.

We started a run club. Yeah? Like, you're going to go running right in a few minutes? Oh, yeah? That's cool What about this weekend? Are you free? Maybe we could see a movie or something?

Yeah. You know, this weekend is actually pretty crazy for me. I'm sorry. I'm pretty much out on anything social related. Okay. Well, I wanted to kind of talk about something because I don't know. I just feel that things are just a bit,

different than they used to be. And I just kind of wanted to make sure you weren't avoiding me or anything because of what I said the last time we hung out. I just kind of wanted to put that out there, that it was not meant to be that, what I said. Yeah. Yeah. I know. It's not that.

It's not that at all. I'm just trying to take care of myself more. Yeah. I mean, you tell me all the time now that you're at the gym, you're on a run. And I just didn't know that you were in. such an exercise lifestyle and i don't know if that started after the fish and ships night or if that was something you just we didn't know about each other i'm just i'm telling you i like things how they were between us before i said that i really said that just in a fun like

offhanded throwing it out their moment and i don't even know if i really think that or if i just have fun with you and it was just a spur of the moment thing and it wasn't like oh my my gosh, this crazy girl is in love with me. I really am not that person, I promised. Yeah, okay. I appreciate you being honest with me. So if I'm being honest with you, something else happened later that night

after we drove back from fishing ships. What do you mean? We were asleep, something happened? Yes. So when you said that in the car, it was on my mind a lot. and when you went to bed, I'm so sorry, your phone was out,

and I was curious, and I thought, I thought, does she say the same kind of thing to other guys? Wait, you went through my phone? Just to me. Yes, I'm so sorry, but it's good. It's good that I did, because not only did I see some of the conversations, I saw some of the pictures of the guys that you were talking to. I'm sorry, what does that have to do with anything?

I mean, we agreed we were casual and talking with others, right? Just listen, I realize that I have a lot in common with some of the other men that you've been talking to because they're all kind of fat. Huh? What? What? She likes a dad bod. I don't know if I understand what you say.

Hello? What's going on? Yeah. What's happening is you're on the radio right now, Levi, with a show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. I'm sorry I'm sorry I don't think she She does not care She wants to figure out what is happening Yeah

So Leva just so you know This is called an awkward Tuesday phone called Juliana is a listener And she asked us to reach out to you Because she felt things Getting awkward Between the two of you And your situation ship

I just didn't know how to bring it up And I thought this would be kind of an easy Like ha ha ha we're We're so cool and chill We don't really have real conversation I don't know That's kind of what my mindset was. I'm so sorry.

This is more than chill now. What are you pauses for? Yeah. He's the not chill one going through your phone. Going back to what you said, Levi, you saw the other dudes in her phone were similar to you in body type? Listen, I'm not the kind of guy who gets jealous and goes through phones and stuff. I did it because I wanted to know if you actually kind of meant what you said to me.

Or if it's just something you say to other guys, because if it's something you say to other guys, It's totally fine there, too. Right. I just, I know. But what was the thing that she said about the body type? Body thing? Oh, yeah. Look, there, it's like she's got a type and I don't want to be the target of some chub chaser.

Wait, what? Is that a friend? I haven't heard that in a long time. I've been going out and working out. That's what I've been doing. So I'm doing the gym so much. Oh, my God. Are you self-conscious or are you motivated?

I am both. self-conscious and motivated. Levi, I didn't even know that I had a type, I guess. I think I just find what I find attractive. So you find a lot of bigger guys attractive. Come on, Levi, that's not fair. What a year are you living in? Yeah, I mean, like, she's saying she likes you for you.

And Levi, I'm talking to them, but I definitely have way more fun talking with you. And it has nothing to do with what you look like. It has to do with how you. you treat me and how we act. Levi, the whole goal of this phone call, the whole reason that Giuliana wanted to reach out is because she wants to basically

erase what's happened in the last week and just go back to how you two were before all the drama. Do you feel like that's even possible? Yeah. Yes, I'm down to go back to how we were. But I also want to lose like 30 pounds.

And I know that you have kind of a type now. And I want make sure you're actually okay with this because I'm going to do it. He gets too skinny for her. I promise you it's not like a type. It's just that most guys, that's the physique, average guy's physique. So it's not anything that I'm looking for specifically. She says that until she starts sneaking butter into your food.

No, I promise I won't be a feeder. I really promise that. Wait, you have a term for that? I don't. I didn't make it up. So it sounds like we've cleared the air And you can move forward from here By going backward to what you were

Exactly the directions I really hope so Okay Julianna I'm looking forward to hooking up with you again Oh wow Who said romance is dead these days? Brooke start and buttoning again It's working

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning So this is a podcast about video games. Kind of. It's also about friendship. Definitely. And chaos. Unavoidably. Welcome to It's Dangerous to Go Alone.

A podcast where we talk games, culture, nostalgia, and immediately go off topic. There is no gatekeeping. There is no skill check. If you win a game on Easy Mode, we support you. If you've never touched a controller, honestly, same energy for some of us. It's fun. It's chaotic. It's friendship with a loose gaming theme. And somehow we keep getting away with it.

You should listen. Stream it's Dangerous to Go Alone on the free Iheart Radio app. wherever you get your podcasts. Number one hits, millions of records sold, awards, sold out tours. You think that Jonas Brothers are satisfied? Nope, it's podcast time. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Hey Jonas is available now, and their first guest is a big one.

Paul Rudd. You know, Steve Carell is a great singer. Can you tell you not to audition at the office or something? I told him. Whoa. We were filming Anchorman. Clearly, I was the idiot. Thank God he didn't listen to him, right?

Listen to Hey Jonas on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcast. or wherever you get your podcast. I'm just going to say it. Prediction, those two are going to end up in a real relationship. Oh, for sure. I don't know. Yes. Not with each other.

No, they have no hope, but I do see them falling in love with other people in the near future. No, I think they both like each other and they're both like too scared to be the first one to admit it. He didn't care about the L bombs. She didn't care he went through the phone. Yes. Yes. No. Especially with Julianna.

I see her with like a Paul Blart Mallcock. kind of guy. I don't know why. Just personality, I think. I'm sure that's what you're going off. Yeah. Or just a guy who drives a segue is really exciting to her. Oh, that would be really perfect for her.

But whatever it is, I do hope that their situation ship does work out, at least for a little while. And we hope that whatever situation you're in works out.
