Episode Overview

This episode’s main theme is sibling rivalry and family drama taken to the extreme, as the team helps listener Malcolm navigate an absurd family conflict. On the eve of his milestone 40th birthday party, Malcolm’s plans are derailed due to his younger sister Janie’s minor “lawn emergency”—causing the party to be postponed unless he apologizes to her. The hosts facilitate an “Awkward Tuesday Phone Call” for Malcolm to confront his sister and (hopefully) secure his family birthday bash, serving their trademark blend of humor and empathy in the process.

Final Thoughts

This “Awkward Tuesday” episode delivers on the promise of high entertainment and relatable family strife. The show explores the limits of apologizing to difficult family members for peacekeeping (or, in this case, securing a birthday party), and the hosts’ mix of counseling and comedic roasting keeps the drama engaging. Malcolm standing up for himself provides a cathartic ending; the suggestion of “Crazy Sibling Week” hints that more delicious drama may be on the way.

Hope you're having a great day. We're here with a brand new episode for you. It's Brooke and Jeffrey, and you found the Second day official podcast. Thank you so much. We did officially get a check mark. I don't know if you know that. Jose. On Spotify.

[Pete Davidson]

On Spotify.

[Brooke]

Let's go. And that's one you can't buy. Yeah, sounds hard to get. Oh, wait, I. I paid for it for us guys. Oh, you did? You paid for something? I think that's cute. I would laugh if you said you paid for my coffee this morning. Wow. Okay.

[Janie]

I mean,

[Pete Davidson]

she could have stopped that. I paid and we all just could have laughed.

[Janie]

Today is moving on.

[Brooke]

Today's of course, your awkward Tuesday phone call. That's coming up at first comment. Yeah, Autumn, the Taylor Stan said. Alexis, you should read my comment. I have nothing interesting to say, but we can pretend. No. There we go. Wow.

[Pete Davidson]

So interesting.

[Paul Verze]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

That was crazy.

[Pete Davidson]

I never knew that.

[Brooke]

It made me rethink everything.

[Pete Davidson]

Yeah, that was a fun fact or a deep fact.

[Brooke]

I think both. My life changed forever, so that's the type of stuff you're gonna get listening to this podcast. So let's get the awkward Tuesday phone call started.

[Jeff]

The most texts and comments that we get into the show usually come from episodes that feature one of three people.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeff]

Either unique characters with quirky nicknames.

[Brooke]

People love those.

[Jeff]

A lot of those overly dramatic people who belong on reality shows, that's where

[Pete Davidson]

they put them, too.

[Jeff]

And people so mean that they put our own Brook Fox to shame.

[Pete Davidson]

What? Over you out mean the meanie.

[Brooke]

That was rude.

[Jeff]

Hard to achieve, I know. But today's call might outdo them all. Because the woman that we reach out to today might be the most brutal, ruthless, vile person we've ever had on this show, you guys, we try to

[Pete Davidson]

be nice to everyone, but it was hard.

[Jeff]

Well, it might have been fun if it wasn't our listener's own sister.

[Pete Davidson]

Yeah, that's the other part.

[Jeff]

We still cannot believe what happened when he called to a apologize to her.

[Pete Davidson]

Oh, my God.

[Jeff]

You'll hear it in your brand new awkward Tuesday phone call right after this.

[Pete Davidson]

It's awkward.

[Brooke]

It's Tuesday.

[Pete Davidson]

It's awkward Tuesday phone call.

[Jeff]

We talk a lot about the big birthdays, the Sweet 16s, 21 runs, Dirty 30s, of course, and my grandma's Nasty 90. We did it in Reno at a place called Sugar's with a Z.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Pete Davidson]

You know, she lives up to the title.

[Jeff]

Yeah, she went for it, but.

[Brooke]

Yeah, she did.

[Pete Davidson]

What about.

[Jeff]

Oh, lordy, lordy, they're turning 40.

[Pete Davidson]

Oh, boy.

[Jeff]

40 is a big milestone. And our listener Malcolm was apparently going to do a big one with family and friends until guess who ruined it,

[Brooke]

kids, your 90 year old. Did I say the wrong thing?

[Jeff]

His sister.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's not who I expected.

[Pete Davidson]

Did not see that coming.

[Jeff]

So he claims. Let's hear what happened. Hey, Malcolm. Welcome to the show, man. How you doing?

[Malcolm]

Hey. A little rough today.

[Brooke]

That's what happens in this decade.

[Jeff]

Well, tell us, how did your sister ruin your 40th birthday?

[Malcolm]

So it's my younger sister, and it's not that big of an age difference. Okay. It's four years, which is a lot when you're a kid, not very much when you're about to turn 40.

[Pete Davidson]

Okay, you're right.

[Brooke]

Are you yelling because you think we can't hear very well either?

[Malcolm]

You'll understand.

[Jeff]

Okay. What's your sister's name?

[Malcolm]

Her name's Janie.

[Brooke]

Janie. Okay. So wait, can we start with what the plans were like? What was your dream for your 40th birthday celebration?

[Malcolm]

So my parents had reserved a space downtown. We're gonna have a catered dinner. There's gonna be a lot of friends and family. There's gonna be music, dancing.

[Brooke]

That's nice.

[Pete Davidson]

Was this a surprise or did you know about this?

[Malcolm]

I knew that it was coming up. Okay, here's what happened. So, Janie's always been very much the look at me type. Everything, the whole world revolves around Janie.

[Pete Davidson]

Classic younger sibling. Yeah, that's what I am to my

[Brooke]

sister and the girl in the family.

[Pete Davidson]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Are you too close, would you say?

[Malcolm]

Yeah, I mean, we've always been close, but this is always a thing.

[Jeff]

What's always the thing?

[Brooke]

The look at me thing.

[Pete Davidson]

The attention.

[Malcolm]

Yeah. The world stopping when she gets the sniffles.

[Pete Davidson]

If she's upset. Everyone has to be upset.

[Jeff]

Well, she okay if she has the sniffles? I mean, I'm worried for her.

[Malcolm]

I know you're joking. You better be.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Pete Davidson]

You never know it, Jeff.

[Jeff]

No, I get it. So how does she get involved in your 40th birthday party?

[Malcolm]

The day before the party, I get a phone call, and it's my dad, and he tells me Janie's not doing so well.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Jeff]

Oh, God.

[Brooke]

That's a bad setup.

[Malcolm]

She's sick.

[Brooke]

What happened?

[Malcolm]

Yeah, so of course I'm panicking. Was she in an accident?

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Malcolm]

Is she dying? And he says to me, very seriously, she has a lawn care emergency.

[Brooke]

Lawn like a yard like grass?

[Malcolm]

Lawn like the grass lawn care emergency.

[Brooke]

What is it?

[Pete Davidson]

There's no emergency. It doesn't matter.

[Brooke]

You don't know. Maybe the lawn is on fire, her house is sinking.

[Jeff]

It does depend. What's the emergency?

[Malcolm]

Yeah, so she has this landscaper. He tells her, you have to let the grass breathe. And then he took away a bunch of the grass, and now it looks all patchy and, like, a little weird.

[Jeff]

That's the emergency.

[Brooke]

Where's the emergency?

[Malcolm]

This is the emergency. So now she's all stressed, and apparently it's a big deal. So my parents have to go all the way down there to be with her.

[Jeff]

Wait, the day before your 40th?

[Malcolm]

This is the day before.

[Brooke]

That's the hardest thing your sister's ever been through in life. Good for her.

[Jeff]

So what happens?

[Malcolm]

So I get a call from mom later. Apparently, Janie is the word inconsolable was used. Worried about what the neighborhood people think because it takes a lot of pride in the appearance of her home.

[Brooke]

Okay, okay.

[Malcolm]

So we have to postpone the 40th birthday party.

[Pete Davidson]

Wait, hold on. She's not going to be you. But the whole party is moved.

[Malcolm]

The whole party is moved.

[Brooke]

Your party.

[Jeff]

I mean. Yeah, I can. I can definitely see why you're so upset. So what are you looking to do with your call here today? Like, your party's been postponed.

[Brooke]

So it hasn't happened yet.

[Malcolm]

No. And what I was told was, apparently I've hurt Janie's feeling. You did. And now the only way to get it rescheduled is if I apologize to Janie.

[Brooke]

Stop.

[Malcolm]

Which that is impossible.

[Brooke]

How important is your family being at your party?

[Jeff]

I've been saying how. I've been saying how important is family for years on this show.

[Brooke]

That's crazy. I understand.

[Pete Davidson]

If it was any other birthday, but your 40th is one of the milestones. Like, you want to have the whole family together if possible.

[Brooke]

How are you feeling about this? Ask to apologize.

[Malcolm]

Not great.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Jeff]

So who. Who are we calling here? Are we calling your sister? Are we calling your parents? Are we calling the Lawn Gu. What do you want?

[Brooke]

No, that's just a Yelp review.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Malcolm]

My sister, because. Okay, I did go off on my parents, because why should her Lawn wreck my 40th birthday?

[Brooke]

Yeah, and it sounds like maybe the parents told the sister about that conversation. Am I reading that right?

[Malcolm]

Yes. Why Would they do that?

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Okay, so now we have to think of some good advice to give you because you're about to call your sister, and this is definitely a tough situation. You need to apologize to her for something you don't even feel bad about.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Malcolm]

Yeah. I didn't do anything wrong, but my parents are making me.

[Brooke]

Yeah. This is what 40s are like. Yeah, Just like every other decade. Yeah, it doesn't change much.

[Jeff]

We'll come up with some advice to help you make a call to your sister to apologize for her lawn being messed up and ruining your 40th birthday.

[Brooke]

So ridiculous.

[Malcolm]

It really is. Yeah.

[Jeff]

Well, we'll do it with your awkward Tuesday phone call right after this.

[Pete Davidson]

It's awkward.

[Daniela Duran]

It's Tuesday.

[Pete Davidson]

It's awkward Tuesday phone call.

[Jeff]

I never thought we'd be helping a selfish person, but here we are on the phone with a piece of scum named Malcolm.

[Pete Davidson]

Oh, man.

[Brooke]

I thought selfish was harsh, Jeff.

[Jeff]

Heartlessly, Malcolm has put his needs over his younger sisters. The issue is, she has hurt feelings because the day before his 40th birthday bash, she had a huge emergency where her landscaper messed up her front lawn.

[Brooke]

Wow. To even have a landscaper. Yeah, I'm glad she's complaining about that.

[Jeff]

I mean, we don't know, but I could just imagine how horrible it must have looked. And she was in no mood to put on a happy face and celebrate

[Brooke]

and do it, Jeff.

[Malcolm]

Wow.

[Jeff]

So Malcolm had some choice words about that, and ultimately their parents sided with the sister and announced they're postponing Malcolm's party until he apologizes to Janie.

[Brooke]

Yep, that's right.

[Jeff]

Obviously, Malcolm is the one at fault here, so.

[Pete Davidson]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Before we give you our advice, Malcolm, what's your sister's normal temperament like? It might help us with our advice.

[Malcolm]

A little rough.

[Brooke]

A little rough.

[Malcolm]

Pretty spoiled.

[Jeff]

Okay, I'm not getting that.

[Brooke]

Yeah, interesting.

[Malcolm]

I am not the only one who seems to feel like the whole world revolves around her. She seems to feel that way, too.

[Brooke]

Yeah, she likes that.

[Jeff]

So how do you talk to her and apologize when you don't really feel like apologizing?

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Brooke, what do you think?

[Brooke]

Well, just listening to you describe her, she sounds like one of those people. And we've all known one. I have. That is a victim. Always Right.

[Jeff]

Why are you looking at me?

[Brooke]

No. And you know what victims love? They love people to feel sorry for them. Okay, So I think you skip the apology and you just go straight in to how bad you feel for what she's going through.

[Malcolm]

This is going to be real hard to do, but I can try it.

[Pete Davidson]

Yeah, because you got to do that and not sound sarcastic, too.

[Jeff]

Doesn't sound like you love Brooks advice. Maybe Jose's will be better.

[Pete Davidson]

Whatever you say to your sister is going directly back to your parents.

[Brooke]

That's true.

[Michael Rapaport]

Right.

[Pete Davidson]

So my advice is this. Whatever you say, just make sure your mom and dad will be happy with it. And then restrain yourself. Like I said, no sarcasm. Just be a good brother here.

[Brooke]

And in what way?

[Pete Davidson]

As in bite your tongue and make her feel good so we can get your party started.

[Jeff]

I didn't catch the whole thing, but I heard restrain yourself. So handcuffs and tongue biting sounds with his sister? Yeah, that's what I got from it. Malcolm, is that. Was that your read?

[Malcolm]

Yeah, minus the handcuff.

[Pete Davidson]

Oh, wait a minute.

[Jeff]

Oh, okay. I don't know. I don't know if we actually have any good advice, but it shouldn't be. I mean, it's just saying sorry even if you don't mean it. Just get the words out. And that's the job.

[Brooke]

No one gave that advice, Jeff. That's just what you gave.

[Jeff]

Yeah, okay, I would argue that I count, too, but maybe I'm being a victim. So I'm just gonna. I'm gonna dial Janie's number, and we're gonna be on your side. Okay, bud?

[Malcolm]

Okay. Thanks, guys.

[Jose]

You got this.

[Jeff]

Here we go.

[Malcolm]

Hello? Hey, it's me.

[Janie]

What are you doing calling me?

[Malcolm]

Whoa. Nice to hear from you, too.

[Janie]

You know that mom and dad hate you, right?

[Jose]

Wow.

[Malcolm]

Okay, that's. That's a little dramatic.

[Janie]

Okay, well, they told me that you called me a whiner or lazy or something.

[Malcolm]

Whatever. Listen, I wanted to talk to you.

[Janie]

Whatever. I'm just saying my emergency was a real thing, okay? Because I don't think you understand the neighborhood that I live in. I mean, you live in a poorer neighborhood, so you wouldn't get it.

[Malcolm]

Wow.

[Janie]

You've never been in that situation, huh? You've never even had a yard, have you?

[Malcolm]

No. And I know you're very stressed, and I understand the lawn thing.

[Janie]

Well, you don't get it. You don't even have a lawnmower.

[Malcolm]

Why would I need a lawnmower?

[Janie]

You don't have as many friends as I do, okay? Because people lose friends over ugly lawns in this place. Don't act like you understand what I'm going through.

[Malcolm]

Okay? You're right. Listen, Janie, are you just trying to hurt my feelings? Because your feelings are hurt right now.

[Janie]

I'm just telling you Facts. Is anything that I've said not true?

[Malcolm]

I'm just saying this is a. It's a little bit humiliating.

[Janie]

You are humiliated. Oh, my gosh, again? Put yourself in my shoes. I was actually going to attend your birthday party.

[Malcolm]

Why would that be humiliating for you? I am your brother.

[Janie]

Okay, well, I was gonna bring a friend, and she was gonna have to meet your friends and just. Oh, my God. Yeah.

[Paul Verze]

Awkward.

[Jeff]

Oh, my God. Like I'm at my family reunion all over again.

[Janie]

Who are these? Where are these voices? Hold on a sec, Malcolm. What am I hearing?

[Pete Davidson]

More poor people.

[Malcolm]

Oh, no.

[Brooke]

Good point, Jose.

[Jeff]

Yeah, we're. We're a radio show, Janie. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Brooke]

We are just. Yeah, I'm like, floor.

[Janie]

Malcolm, what are you telling these people about my personal life, huh?

[Jeff]

The way she said these people.

[Malcolm]

Janie, I needed help figuring out how to apologize to you because I didn't feel like I was in the wrong at all.

[Brooke]

No. Yeah, you weren't. You weren't. Okay?

[Janie]

Hey, he said he wants to apologize to me. So let's hear it then.

[Brooke]

Don't you dare apologize to her.

[Janie]

If you want a birthday, apologize to me, because guess who's on my side? Mom and dad both on my side.

[Brooke]

Are you 12?

[Janie]

Who wants her at the party?

[Jeff]

Malcolm. I mean, don't.

[Brooke]

Malcolm, you need to cut your family off.

[Pete Davidson]

It'll be funny. Let them apologize.

[Jeff]

I mean, Malcolm, it's your decision. What do you want to do?

[Malcolm]

I'm sorry. You had a long emergency and we had to postpone my 40th birthday because of it.

[Janie]

Why are you, like, reading off a card right now?

[Brooke]

What do you want?

[Pete Davidson]

More authentic?

[Brooke]

Yeah. Do you honestly think that your brother should feel bad that your lawn somehow is the worst thing that's ever happened in your life?

[Janie]

Okay, listen, lady, I don't know who you are or why you think you can call me, but is this just your job to just call people up to stalk them, try to get them? Try.

[Malcolm]

Try to.

[Janie]

Try to be a little bug in their ear, huh? What are you doing coming at me for? Yeah, this guy. You should know this guy. He can't even afford a yard.

[Pete Davidson]

Well, a lot of us can't.

[Jeff]

He does have a condo, though. Condos are respectable.

[Brooke]

How are you judging your brother based on how much money he makes? Like, build him up. Didn't you have a childhood together? Shouldn't you love each other?

[Janie]

Yeah. So, like, what happened to him? I've got hot friends

[Jeff]

and she has an hoa. Brooke?

[Janie]

Yeah, I'M so much better than him and probably you.

[Brooke]

Okay, okay. If this is what doing better looks like, I don't want it.

[Janie]

Okay, well, guess what? You couldn't have it if you did.

[Jeff]

As much as I'm enjoying this, and I really am, the apology has happened. Malcolm has said he is sorry for the terrible situation that you find yourself in. It's come back to affect him. The question is like, do you accept his apology?

[Malcolm]

You have to. Mom and dad won't let me have the party unless we come into agreement and you say yes. Come on.

[Janie]

I mean, you're 40. Listen to how you talk about your parents. Like, don't you think you're a little old to have them throwing the party for you?

[Jose]

Oh, man.

[Jeff]

Oh my God.

[Pete Davidson]

I can't wait.

[Malcolm]

You know what? Forget this.

[Brooke]

There we go. Malcolm. Okay, let's go.

[Pete Davidson]

Forget what party?

[Malcolm]

Well, not the party. I'm gonna throw my own party.

[Brooke]

Oh, okay.

[Malcolm]

He's not invited to it.

[Jeff]

Yeah, okay, so take that, Janie. He took your advice and now his parents aren't throwing him that party.

[Janie]

Who's gonna come?

[Malcolm]

Who's gon your party?

[Janie]

Boy, if mom and dad aren't there, there's going to be a lot of echoes in that room.

[Pete Davidson]

What an awful person.

[Janie]

I'm going to need Bubbles the clown to make you a balloon animal.

[Brooke]

Oh, hey, that'd be kind of cool.

[Pete Davidson]

Yeah, clowns are fun. Lady Awkward.

[Brooke]

Oh, man.

[Jeff]

I don't think we're going to help the situation at all. Apology was a bust. But at least you got a plan to celebrate with your own 40th. Malcolm.

[Malcolm]

Yeah?

[Brooke]

You should end the party with TP in your sister's house.

[Pete Davidson]

Oh, the HOA is gonna be real mad about that.

[Brooke]

Brooke.

[Jeff]

I don't want to be on their parents bad side, so I do not support it. Well.

[Pete Davidson]

Cause you're rich. Jeff.

[Brooke]

Jeff.

[Janie]

Brooke and Jeffrey.

[Mangesha Teagar]

In the morning, I'm Mangishitigular and I'm back with a new season of the podcast Skyline Drive. This time I'm diving into a rabbit hole of peptides, organoids, blood boys, blue zones and brain replacement to try to understand what this longevity obsession is all about and what it really means to live forever for all of us. I learned about some rad science.

[Brooke]

I can make a brain for you. And then we can test what drug is the best for your brain as opposed to his brain.

[Mangesha Teagar]

Here are some hard truths.

[Brooke]

I would expect Indians to age faster

[Paul Verze]

and but I did not expect it

[Michael Rapaport]

to be almost a four to five

[Mangesha Teagar]

year acceleration and get myself into a world of trouble.

[Paul Verze]

I'd say probably start bone smashing.

[Jeff]

That doesn't work.

[Brooke]

Make it look more defined. They say it works. I don't know.

Mainstream media is full of cruel depictions of the unhoused, stories that shame and blame and paint the unhoused as a monolith. We the Unhoused is the podcast that's changing that. I'm Theo Henderson, creator and host, and for years I've created a space where the unhoused and their advocates can tell their own stories. In the last few months alone, I've interviewed unhoused parents, immigrants, mutual aid organizers, veterans, the LGBQTIA community, and the policymakers who make the laws that impact the unhoused existence. Whitian Houses, a two time Webby and Signal award winning show with many exciting guests on the horizon. Tune in this week for my interview with Dr. Jill Wicherik, a street doctor turned influencer whose work with the unhoused community has made a huge impact online and in her community.

[Jeff]

Texas 78592 says you guys didn't find out what the sister does for a living, but I bet she's a lawyer and I'm looking to sue my landlord. Can I get her number?

[Pete Davidson]

She should be, if she's not already.

[Malcolm]

She's like, ruthless.

[Jeff]

Oh, yeah.

[Pete Davidson]

She likes confrontation.

[Brooke]

I don't think she's a lawyer. I think she married into money.

[Michael Rapaport]

Nope.

[Pete Davidson]

We didn't even ask where she got all the money from.

[Brooke]

The only reason I say that is because there is a lot of insane insecurity with that woman.

[Pete Davidson]

And entitlement.

[Brooke]

Yeah, if you're strong enough to forge your own career. I don't think that's. You got a deep look.

[Jeff]

I just know why Malkin's parents sided with her.

[Brooke]

Oh, they're just scared.

[Jeff]

Yeah, they don't want to be on her bedside, obviously.

[Pete Davidson]

Revoke the country club membership.

[Jeff]

I was scared of her too. But, you know, even though we didn't do a great job of helping Malcolm in that situation. No, we can do a much better job helping you. As long as it's not with a crazy sibling.

[Brooke]

Oh, actually, I mean, I'd take on another crazy sibling.

[Malcolm]

You would?

[Paul Verze]

Sure.

[Brooke]

Let's do it, Jazz.

[Malcolm]

Okay.

[Jeff]

There's nothing that we won't tackle.

[Pete Davidson]

Crazy Sibling Week.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah, sure.

[Jeff]

All Week long. Email the show. We'll call your crazy sibling. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Paul Verze]

Paul Versi here, and I want to talk to you about Paul's best podcast, Will Ferrell, Big Money Players Network and iHeartRadio. I sit down each week with a special guest and we, we discuss the absolute best of things. Pete Davidson.

[Jeff]

It's that and then there's everything else.

[Paul Verze]

Dude, his whole life has sounded like the first drop of a roller coaster. Just like Mark Norman.

[Malcolm]

I mean, I can't even tell you, Paul, how crazy it was. It was insane.
