---

Episode Overview

In this episode of “Awkward Tuesday Phone Call,” listener Cash needs help navigating a tricky situation with his ex-girlfriend, Amber. After two years of an on-again, off-again relationship and a recent breakup, Cash went “cold turkey”—cutting off all contact per his friends’ advice. Months later, he ignored Amber’s text about her grandmother dying, and now he regrets his silence. Cash wants to break the ice and apologize, but things get truly awkward when the phone call takes a turn—revealing the “death” may have been a false alarm. The team tries to guide Cash through this emotional minefield, resulting in memorable cringe, honest revelations, and trademark group banter.

Tone & Style

The episode balances genuine emotion (regret, vulnerability) with the familiar, playful irreverence of the “Brooke and Jeffrey” crew. There’s open mockery, practical advice, and honest moments of cringe (“Let me know when your grandmother really dies.”), along with the signature energy fans expect. The segment showcases just how dramatically and awkwardly relationship miscommunications can spiral, providing both entertainment and moments of real empathy—albeit laced with sarcasm.

---

Summary

A classic “Awkward Tuesday Phone Call” saga: Cash tries to right a cold-shouldered wrong, only to find the crisis (and the relationship) is not what it seemed. Amber’s revelation—that her grandmother is alive—serves as a final twist in their cycle of miscommunication. Ultimately, Amber asserts her boundary, and the hosts leave the door (barely) open for more drama in the future. If you like your relationship drama awkward, funny, and fairly raw, this episode delivers from start to finish.

But for now, let's get to a brand new awkward Tuesday phone call. It's gonna start. Here we go.

[Jeffrey]

Some things take every ounce of willpower not to do.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Jose]

Oh, yes.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Don't make a joke while you're in the middle of an adult circumcision. Don't make him laugh. Don't do it.

[Brooke]

That's a good point.

[Jose]

The doctor or the guy?

[Brooke]

You don't want anyone shaking.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, did it again.

[Brooke]

Too funny.

[Jeffrey]

Sorry, Tristan. Oh, we'll try again next Wednesday. No, but maybe even harder than that is finding the willpower to not text your ex back after a messy breakup. Don't do it. Well, one of our listeners was able to hold off for a long, long time. But today, he doesn't want to text her. He wants to call her.

[Brooke]

What?

[Jeffrey]

And you're going to find out why. What changed his mind? In your brand new awkward Tuesday phone call.

[Liberty Mutual Announcer]

Next.

[Jose]

It's awkward.

[Brooke]

It's Tuesday.

[Jose]

It's awkward Tuesday phone call.

[Jeffrey]

You know what phrase you never hear?

[Brooke]

What's that, Jeff?

[Jeffrey]

I just had a great breakup with my girlfriend. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. No, usually those are pretty messy. Pretty complicated. A little sexy. You know, maybe one last hurrah, but for the most part, not great. Yeah, but one of our listeners, Cash, says he achieved it. Maybe not right when it first happened, but shortly afterwards with the help of his friends. Oh, and somehow that has led to a whole another issue, and he needs our Help. We're going to find out about it right now.

[Brooke]

Why are we going to mess with a good thing? Just leave it alone. It ended well.

[Jeffrey]

Apparently it's not so well anymore. Cash, welcome to the show, man.

[Cash (Listener)]

Thank you.

[Jose]

Things are getting messy for you, bro.

[Cash (Listener)]

Yeah, you could say that.

[Brooke]

Okay, are we. Are we blaming the friends at this point or where are we at?

[Cash (Listener)]

No.

[Jeffrey]

What happened with you and your ex girlfriend?

[Brooke]

Is that right?

[Cash (Listener)]

So, yeah, I was dating a girl for a long time and.

[Brooke]

Define long time for us. Sorry.

[Cash (Listener)]

You know, over the course of like a year or two.

[Jose]

Why they broke up or it's one of those.

[Brooke]

We were on the we're off.

[Jose]

We're on the we're off.

[Brooke]

You know.

[Cash (Listener)]

Yeah, it was like that type of thing.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so that was. It was on again, off again for. You said a year or two.

[Cash (Listener)]

Yeah, must be multiple years, I think. On and off again, you know. And about four months ago, she got really mad one night and just dumped me.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, that's the spicy side of her. But you like that.

[Brooke]

It sounds like that's the roller coaster you definitely knew you were on.

[Cash (Listener)]

Huh? She got spicy for sure. And of course, a couple weeks later, she texted me again saying she's sorry. Can we meet up and talk?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, back to the sweet side.

[Jose]

Uhoh. The other guy didn't work out.

[Brooke]

So did you guys get back together?

[Cash (Listener)]

Well, my friends were like, dude, you can't fall back into it. You gotta just ignore her. Cold turkey. Don't text back, you know, and it was tough, but I didn't.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Cash (Listener)]

I stayed strong and.

[Brooke]

Wow. Whoa. You just left her on red?

[Cash (Listener)]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Cash (Listener)]

All right.

[Jose]

That's a tough decision.

[Brooke]

I mean, it's honestly probably the healthiest thing. Like. Yeah, those up and down relationships are. Yeah, we've all been in them before, but they're hard.

[Jeffrey]

And if anything, it's only going to make her think that you're even sexier. She's gonna want you more.

[Cash (Listener)]

Right. But over the next few months, you know, she texted me every so often, like saying nice things, trying to lure me in. And my friends would kind of remind me, like, don't respond. Don't do it.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Cash (Listener)]

Okay.

[Brooke]

They are.

[Cash (Listener)]

Sometimes they take my phone for the night just to make sure I didn't text her back.

[Jose]

Oh, no, you started drinking a little bit.

[Debbie Brown]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

You gotta change your name and your phone to do not reply.

[Jose]

You're right.

[Jeffrey]

So clearly the temptation was still there for you.

[Cash (Listener)]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

And you needed some help with like an intervention to make sure it was Stopped.

[Cash (Listener)]

Yeah, it was hard not to fall back into the same kind of toxic pattern. And about a month ago, she texted me telling me that her grandmother just died. And I had met her grandmother a few times. I knew she wasn't in great health, but my friends were saying, you know, don't fall for it. She's baiting you. Don't text back.

[Brooke]

Oh, wow, that's hard, man. Yeah, it could or could not be. Yeah, totally.

[Jeffrey]

Brooke, how would you feel if you texted one of your exes that knew your grandma and they never responded back?

[Brooke]

Yeah, one time an ex texted me after a family thing, and it felt so good to write, who's this? I don't have your number saved.

[Jeffrey]

You did that?

[Brooke]

I really didn't have his number saved.

[Jose]

Oh, back.

[Brooke]

You were like, ooh, I didn't really know who it was. And then when he went back, I went, oh, well, that was, oh, you

[Jose]

should have doubled down. Still doesn't ring a bell.

[Jeffrey]

So after that message about her grandma, how many more did she send to you?

[Cash (Listener)]

Yeah, she didn't send me any more after that. That was the last time I heard from her text.

[Brooke]

I don't know. I think that means that she may really have needed somebody in that moment. Are you sure she actually passed away? That, like, did you stalk her socials? Like, posted anything? You checked the newspaper obituary?

[Cash (Listener)]

I didn't, but, I mean, I'm pretty sure it had. Like, I don't think she would lie about it. And like I said, she was in, like, really bad health. Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, God.

[Brooke]

So are you feeling, like, regret that

[Jeffrey]

you didn't, like, support her when she needed it?

[Cash (Listener)]

Absolutely. I felt bad in the moment. Like, it was really hard. But even, like three or four weeks later, I feel even worse because I was with her for two years. You know, we were really close.

[Jose]

That's sad, man.

[Brooke]

So what are you needing our help with in that situation?

[Cash (Listener)]

Well, I feel like now I've had enough time where I'm ready to talk to her and maybe we can be friends.

[Brooke]

Good.

[Jose]

That's really good.

[Jeffrey]

Right after you cold shouldered her about her grandma passing. Now you're in a good spot to be friends.

[Cash (Listener)]

Yeah, I think, like, you know, after a certain amount of time, it becomes healthier to kind of talk again. Yeah, but it's just awkward. It's just like finding the way to break the ice is the problem.

[Brooke]

Right. Because you want to go back and still have those boundaries, that you're not going to get back together, but you also want to be there for her. As someone who cares for her, I mean, kind of.

[Cash (Listener)]

You know, I do really. I do really want to be your friend. And it's been a while and, you know, I do miss her.

[Brooke]

Okay, so we may be getting back on the ride. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

But I think that's our challenge, is how do we have this conversation without getting him back onto the ride?

[Brooke]

Bro, it doesn't sound like he's totally off.

[Amber]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Are we sure he doesn't want to back on the ride? He's saying he does, kind of.

[Jeffrey]

Well, his brain is saying no. Who knows? What is hard to say?

[Jose]

We can kiss his friends, right?

[Brooke]

Yeah, exactly, Jose.

[Jeffrey]

Well, let's see what advice we can come up with for you when we come back. Give you our advice and let you call your ex girlfriend to say, sorry I didn't respond when your grandma passed away, but we cool now?

[Amber]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Two thumbs up.

[Cash (Listener)]

See, it sounds weird when you say

[Jeffrey]

it, right, but when you say it, it's going to be flawless.

[Brooke]

Absolutely.

[Jeffrey]

During your awkward Tuesday phone call. Right after this.

[Cash (Listener)]

It's awkward.

[Brooke]

It's Tuesday.

[Jose]

It's awkward Tuesday phone call.

[Jeffrey]

I'm gonna try to quickly recap this so we can get to your awkward Tuesday phone call. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. But a listener of ours named Cash reached out to us, and I don't think we've ever done a call quite like this before because he dated a young woman named Amber for a few years on and off. She dumped him and his buddy suggested that he go cold turkey.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Doesn't respond to her texts. No calling her at night. Well, zero contact.

[Brooke]

They'd been in that up and down cycle of breaking up, getting back together for a long time.

[Jose]

Exactly. It wasn't an easy breakup necessarily.

[Jeffrey]

And guess what? She reached out to him more than once.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

And he stayed strong.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Until one night when she sent a text saying, hey, my grandma just passed away.

[Brooke]

A grandma that he knew, too.

[Jeffrey]

And what did Cash do? Nothing. Like he was supposed to. And that was a month ago. And now he's looking back, pretty regretful about not being there for her in her time of need. And Cash, it definitely sounds like you do miss her and you want to mend this friendship while still leaving the door open to the possibility of maybe more. Is that right?

[Cash (Listener)]

I mean, I guess never say never.

[Brooke]

Which is exactly what your friends don't want you to say, but. Okay.

[Jeffrey]

But Justin Bieber wants you to say that, so that's good. Brooke, how do you recommend he accomplish that? Through this phone call.

[Brooke]

What do you think I have? I think you need to realize, Cash, is that you left her on red after she texted you when she needed

[Jeffrey]

you like you were supposed to.

[Jose]

Good.

[Brooke]

So when you. I mean, honestly, this call is gonna come off like you're the one calling for a booty call.

[Cash (Listener)]

Oh.

[Brooke]

You know what I'm saying? Like, you only call her when you need something, not when she needs something.

[Cash (Listener)]

I didn't think of that.

[Brooke]

Yeah. So to save you from looking like a terrible person, I think you need to maybe say, hey, did you get the flowers? Well, I think. He never says, I sent them, but, like, did you get the flowers? Like, maybe let her just assume.

[Jeffrey]

What do you think about that, Cash? Imply that flowers were sent. Implied.

[Cash (Listener)]

I mean, I guess that's one way to do it.

[Jeffrey]

It's not the worst idea I've ever heard. Jose, what do you think?

[Jose]

Well, it does look bad that you didn't respond to her for 30 days. All right, so that's why I think you need to say something along the lines of, I've been so broken up over this, over your grandma passing away.

[Brooke]

Oh, you're.

[Jose]

I'm now finally emotionally available to make this phone call.

[Brooke]

It was harder on you than it was on her.

[Jose]

She loved her grandma, bro.

[Brooke]

Right. Won't make her mad at all.

[Liberty Mutual Announcer]

Come on.

[Jeffrey]

So you've got two pieces of advice, Two mediocre lies that you can toss her way.

[Cash (Listener)]

Wow, you guys are making it tough on me.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, you're the one who dug this hole for yourself, so we're giving you a ladder to maybe climb out.

[Cash (Listener)]

I guess you're right.

[Jeffrey]

You're ready.

[Brooke]

That's what you mean. I'm ready.

[HomeServe Announcer]

Here we go.

[Jose]

Doesn't sound very mentally athletic.

[Jeffrey]

Let's get ready to lie to your ex girlfriend. I'm dialing your number right now. Here we go.

[Jose]

Let's go.

[Amber]

Hello?

[Cash (Listener)]

Hey.

[Amber]

Why are you calling me?

[Cash (Listener)]

Well, it's been a while.

[Amber]

I know how long it's been.

[Cash (Listener)]

Right. So I just. I guess I kind of felt bad about how things ended and.

[Amber]

Okay,

[Cash (Listener)]

I wasn't in a really great place, but I just feel like neither

[Amber]

was I, so that's not an excuse, but. Okay, You can keep talking at any time. I had nothing to say.

[Cash (Listener)]

I mean, you seem angry, so I'm trying. I'm just doing my best.

[Amber]

Okay. If you have nothing to say, then I'll. I'll ask a question. How come I haven't heard from you for months and I was texting you and you never responded ever?

[Cash (Listener)]

Because I just Wasn't in a good place. I didn't.

[Amber]

Yeah, you said that already. Neither was I. Come up with a better excuse.

[Cash (Listener)]

Listen, I can explain it to you.

[Amber]

You're talking flow.

[Cash (Listener)]

That's not the first time you said that to me. Oh, my God.

[Amber]

I am aware I also have a memory of our relationship. No matter how long.

[Cash (Listener)]

If you have a memory, then you know that it was basically, we're in a toxic cycle, the same over and over again. So me not responding to you was an effort to break that.

[Amber]

Why are you calling me now? What's the point? Why are you calling me now?

[Cash (Listener)]

Because I feel bad about the way things. I felt bad about not responding when your grandmother died. I felt like I couldn't at that point. And it took me a while to process. Almost 30 days.

[Amber]

It took you a while to process my grandmother?

[Cash (Listener)]

Okay, so how is this funeral?

[Amber]

Funny thing about the whole situation.

[Cash (Listener)]

There's something funny about that situation.

[Amber]

Well, I mean, you're asking how the funeral is. Was. And I'm telling you that when I sent that text, I thought she was gonna die that night. But she didn't.

[Cash (Listener)]

Wait, what?

[Amber]

She, you know, pulled through. So there was no funeral. She's still alive.

[Cash (Listener)]

Your grandmother dying.

[Radio 831 Podcast Host]

Awkward.

[Amber]

But she looked like she was almost dead.

[Cash (Listener)]

Your grandmother always looked like she was almost dead.

[Jeffrey]

Guys. Amber? Amber, can you hear us?

[Amber]

Wait, I'm sorry. Who is that? Who's on this call?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, this is a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Yes, and we're doing a segment here. It's called the Awkward Tuesday Phone Call. Because you're.

[Amber]

Called me on a radio show.

[Brooke]

Dude. It has been eating him up that he didn't respond after that. Grandma.

[Amber]

Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure it has.

[Brooke]

Do you not believe that?

[Amber]

No, I don't.

[Cash (Listener)]

Grandmother dying?

[Amber]

I didn't lie. I genuinely thought she was going to die. But then you never responded, so why would I update you?

[Brooke]

I mean, I feel like there's good

[Jeffrey]

points on both sides.

[Brooke]

Like why would you respond to your own text? So never mind.

[Amber]

Exactly.

[Cash (Listener)]

Why would you presume somebody dead before they're dead? I don't know.

[Amber]

My mom told me she was about to die that night and.

[Cash (Listener)]

Are you a priest?

[Brooke]

What does that have to do with anything?

[Amber]

A priest?

[Jeffrey]

Okay, I understand that this situation wasn't handled the best way, maybe on either side.

[Brooke]

You're an odd match to me.

[Jose]

That's probably why they worked.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. There's a lot of history there, obviously. A lot of fire and chemistry and we're trying to get back to before the break in. Communication?

[Cash (Listener)]

Yeah, when we broke up. Something you don't know. My friends told me to go cold turkey and not talk to you. What?

[Amber]

Why would they even get involved?

[Cash (Listener)]

Well, because I think they saw the cycle that I was talking about.

[Amber]

Yeah, but normally there's a conversation when a friendship ends. Or anything ends.

[Cash (Listener)]

Normally we had one. It was a conversation with me, remember? You broke up with me, Right?

[Amber]

Yeah, but you could have, like, responded.

[Jeffrey]

He wanted to respond, but his friends wouldn't let him.

[Brooke]

That doesn't sound good, Joe.

[Amber]

Okay, so you only do what your friends tell you.

[Jeffrey]

Ignore what I just said, go back to arguing with each other.

[Cash (Listener)]

It wasn't just my friends. It was obvious.

[Amber]

Oh, my God. So who else have you talked to about us?

[Jeffrey]

You know what? I think what you need to do, Cash, is just tell her what you want.

[Brooke]

And, yeah, moving forward. Let's look forward.

[Jeffrey]

What do you want to get in the future?

[Cash (Listener)]

Well, I was hoping despite all this fake death, we could maybe go back to having some kind of friendship, because I have missed you.

[Amber]

Awkward.

[Jeffrey]

Oops. I meant to hit the aw button.

[Brooke]

Yeah, my bad.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, we're running out of time for our segment here, Amber, so I don't want to rush you into this, but what do you think?

[Amber]

Honestly, right now, I don't think I want to be your friend at the moment. Just, I. I don't think I want it anymore.

[Brooke]

So that's a good boundary.

[Jeffrey]

Well, Cash, call us back in two weeks and we can try this all over again. I'm sure it'll go better.

[Amber]

No, thanks.

[Jose]

We'll call the grandma.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, we'll see how she's doing.

[Cash (Listener)]

Let me know when your grandmother really dies.

[Jose]

Don't say that.

[Cash (Listener)]

Oh, sorry. My condolences again.

[Jeffrey]

Liberty. You know they're hooking up tonight, right?

[Brooke]

No. There's no way.

[Jeffrey]

That's the type of couple that can't stay together but can't stay away from each other.

[Jose]

The love is good, dude.

[Jeffrey]

It is.

[Brooke]

I really heard in her voice that she wants nothing to do with him. Yeah, I'm not gonna lie, Jeff.

[Jose]

I'd like to agree with Jeff, but

[Jeffrey]

I think I know I heard the same thing in her voice, but in her body. That's a totally different story.

[Jose]

I'm telling you, bro is yearning.

[Jeffrey]

That's right.

[Brooke]

Money on this one.

[Jeffrey]

That's the vibe. That's the vibe that I got during the call. A lot of fireworks there, both good and bad, clearly.

[Brooke]

See, I got her just railroading him, like, just running him over.

[Jeffrey]

He would love to be railroaded tonight.

[Brooke]

I guarantee you my mom, the wrong thing.

[Jeffrey]

They definitely wanted to step back and process. Process what just happened. My money is on them processing it together. Close off.

[Brooke]

No way, man.

[Jose]

This makes me want to call them in, like, a week and be like, okay, guys, yeah, yeah.

[Brooke]

I don't think we're ever gonna get an update because I don't think they're ever gonna talk again. That's my money. That's my bad.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, that's too bad. But you know what? If you want to do some processing, you can go process the content on our podcast. A lot of good stuff on there.

[Jose]

Good segue.

[Jeffrey]

You find us at Brooke and Jeffrey. Listen, close off if you want.

[Superhuman Podcast Host]

Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged. It's the Enhanced Games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast Superhuman documented it all embedded in the Games and with the athletes for a full year.

[Brooke]

Within probably 10 days I put on 10 pounds.

[Jeffrey]

I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth.
