Episode Date: January 27, 2026

---

Overview:

This episode centers on an all-too-relatable nightmare: discovering your trusted nanny has been living a double life — and not just any, but a fake British one. Listener Will seeks the hosts’ help to confront his children’s “British” nanny, Elsie, after hearing her speak in an American accent at a bar. Will is shaken not only by the deception but also by the potential implications for his family's trust and safety. The hosts, as ever, bring their trademark blend of empathy, humor, and chaos to help Will resolve his awkward situation live on air.

Key Discussion Points

1. The Discovery: Will’s “British” Nanny is Actually American

• Will’s Situation
  • Will and his wife hired their nanny, “Elsie,” about 6 months ago, specifically excited for her supposed British background, imagining it would be like having Mary Poppins care for their kids.
    • Brooke (06:55): “Oh, so it felt like you were hiring Mary Poppins.”
  • The nanny does more than just child care — she cooks, cleans, and seemingly embodies the dream British domestic help.
• The Incident at the Bar
  • Will spots his nanny at a bar and overhears her speaking in a clear American accent with her friends.
  • He eavesdrops for an extended period, confirming the accent is no fluke.
    • Will (07:39): “I hear her talking, and she doesn't have a British accent at all.”

2. Hosts’ Reactions and Initial Jokes

• The hosts compare notes on nanny horror stories and the oddity of “nanny accent fraud.”
• Lighthearted banter is used to diffuse the tension:
  • Brooke (07:05): “Your children are going to grow up way smarter and more cultured if you have a British... maybe even with an accent, right?”
  • Jeffrey (09:52): “Don’t meet a lot of dads like you, but…”
  • Brooke (10:24): “It sounds like drunk you was real ready to do it.”

3. Trust Issues & Family Fallout

• Will expresses his loss of trust, questioning what else might be fabricated in his nanny’s credentials or behavior.
  • Will (09:37): “She's taking care of our kids, she's taking care of our house, and now the trust is broken.”
• He has not told his wife yet, fearing her devastation.

4. The Plan: Awkward Tuesday Phone Call

• Will wants the nanny to resign rather than fire her outright (to avoid family hurt).
• The hosts prep Will, discussing how to listen for “the British hello” on the call as a telltale sign.
  • Brooke (13:14): “Do exactly what I just said. Listen for that first hello.”
• They joke about possible identity reveals, (“maybe she’s really German” etc.), but stress the point that the accent is the issue.

• Will confronts her:
  • (14:24) Will: “Okay, okay. You don't have to do this anymore.”
  • (14:32) Will: “I heard you just say hello, like clear as day, American accent. You can drop the British thing.”
• She tries to explain:
  • (15:19) Chelsea: “That was but a trifle of a game. We were playing Hook Like a Yank.”

The Truth Comes Out

Motivation for the Lie

• Feeling the pressure, she explains:
  • (17:22) Chelsea: “The job market hasn't been great, and I found out you get paid well as a nanny and very well if you’re a British nanny, so...just kind of went with it.”

Trust Issues Highlighted

• Will:
  • (17:33) Will: “You must have known this wasn’t going to end well. You know we can’t continue to employ you.”
• Chelsea, still pitching herself:
  • (18:18) Chelsea: “At least, look, I’m good with the kids and their homework. You know, I'm a good nanny. It’s going to be hard to find someone to replace me.”

Forgiveness or Consequence?

  • (18:52) Jeffrey: “You are — you’re really good at spinning things.”
• Brooke reminds listeners:
  • (19:15) Brooke: “And that poor mother is so stressed out already. She needs less stress, not more.”

Attempted Compromises and Final Farewell

• Chelsea offers:
  • (19:41) Chelsea: “Could you please just give me one more chance?...Maybe I’m taking American accent classes. Maybe we slowly phase out my accent.”
• Will rejects further lies. Final decision: she must resign.
• Humorous closure:
  • (20:43) Jeffrey: “You’re out of work with this family, Chelsea. But I’m sure there’s another family who would be happy to have Elsie and learn all of her British...”

Marital Consequences

• The hosts muse about whether Will should tell his wife the truth, or use “the British nanny got deported” as a white lie to spare feelings.

Yeah.

[Brooke]

And what do you see in the comments, Alexis?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, Vos Pasito said.

[Bowen Yang]

Hi, guys.

[Brooke]

I love your podcast. Greetings from Argentina. I don't have proof, but I'm absolutely sure that you are not the ones from the photo. Maybe Brooke. I don't know.

[Jeffrey]

The podcast people always think I'm like, huge. They're like, what? You're actually a normal looking guy.

[Brooke]

That's all us. And I always apologize. Alexis is not in that photo. It's true, because we took them, like, when she was only with us for what, two or three months? So their pictures are kind of old. They're like, yeah, I was still working coffee and I had to leave early from the photo shoot to go work a coffee shift. So, yeah, so we'll try to update those. But also, I like my younger self as well, so there's filters we could.

[Chelsea (Fake British Nanny)]

Put on Brooke, don't worry.

[Brooke]

Hey, that's not the compliment you think it is. Okay, let's get this full episode started. Brand new right now.

[Jeffrey]

They say you shouldn't eavesdrop on other people's conversations, but sometimes it's hard not to.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah, dude, I live for it.

[Jeffrey]

I know. For example, I remember back in 2019 when Brooke flew into a rage after she overheard a sales rep describe her as, quote, middle class. Yes, it was a dark day in the building.

[Brooke]

They don't work here anymore.

[Jeffrey]

No, they don't. Brook really appeals to the middle class.

[Brooke]

What did she say?

[Jeffrey]

You never know what someone's gonna say when they think no one else is listening.

[Brooke]

Uhoh.

[Jeffrey]

But that's what happened when one of our listeners overheard his employee say something at a bar. And because of what was said, it's turned into your new Awkward Tuesday phone call. You're going to hear it. Coming up next.

[Will]

It's awkward.

[Brooke]

It's Tuesday.

[Jeffrey]

It's awkward.

[Brooke]

Tuesday.

[Jeffrey]

Phone call. It happens all the time. You think you have a solid first impression of someone.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

And then come to find out later that person is not what they seemed.

[Brooke]

In, like, a bad way.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yeah.

[Brooke]

Oh, always bad.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Like, when Alexis first interviewed for the show, I 100 thought she was sober that day.

[Brooke]

What? No one thought that?

[Jeffrey]

No idea that she was nursing a bad hangover. And when she went to the restroom halfway through, I didn't know she was pulling a truly out of her purse and shotgunning it in the stall just to power through the rest of the morning.

[Brooke]

Did you think that was the smell of her perfume?

[Jeffrey]

I thought Mango Body Blast.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Wow. Don't worry, Alexis. Everyone else knew.

[Jeffrey]

Well, now we all do know the truth about Alexis and her questionable lifestyle, and it's something we can laugh about.

[Brooke]

Kind of one of the reasons I liked her.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, but one of our listeners doesn't think he can laugh after he discovered the truth about somebody who works for him, and he needs our help with it. His name is Will. Will, did you hire Alexis under false pretense, too?

[Will]

I wish I had, maybe.

[Brooke]

Oh, man. Well, is this, like, an employee or like, you hired someone to do work on your house, that type of thing?

[Will]

Well, it's actually a nanny that we hired.

[Brooke]

Interesting.

[Matt Rogers]

Okay.

[Will]

Yeah, it feels a little more personal, Right. Because she spends so much time with my kids.

[Brooke]

Dude, we had a nanny issue early on.

[Matt Rogers]

Really?

[Brooke]

Oh, my God. There was a medicine cabinet that was raided, and she was never invited back again.

[Jeffrey]

And that's your meds.

[Bowen Yang]

You like those.

[Brooke]

It's wild, though, because you're with them. You're right. So intimately, you know?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

You got to trust.

[Will]

Yeah, absolutely. They're basically in our house. They're seeing all of our stuff. They're spending time with our kids. Like, we wanted to be able to trust this person, and we hired her about six months ago because my wife was going back to work. And this is kind of silly, but we were very excited to hire her because she was British.

[Brooke]

Oh, so it felt like you were hiring Mary Poppins.

[Jeffrey]

It's that classic, like, iconic role. Yeah. Your children are going to grow up way smarter and more cultured if you.

[Brooke]

Have a British, maybe even with an accent. Right?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, that'd be even cooler.

[Will]

And, you know, she did a great job. Like, the kids love her. She cooks and she cleans.

[Brooke]

Whoa. That's crazy. Sorry. Usually nannies won't even pick up, like, oh, sorry. I'M not paid for that.

[Jeffrey]

Let's not slander all nannies, Brooke, just because you had one bad experience with one who stole your pills.

[Brooke]

A house cleaner and a nanny are usually two separate jobs, so to find someone who is also willing to.

[Jeffrey]

You struck gold with this one.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

So where did the problem come up?

[Will]

Well, last week, I'm at the bar with some of my guy friends, just having a beer. And on the other side of the bar, I see our nanny, and she's taking down a pint with some girls that she knows, maybe her friends, I don't know. Okay. And I hear her talking, and she doesn't have a British accent at all.

[Jeffrey]

No way. Well, that's funny, because when we get drunk, we talk in British accents, so there's a little bit of a flip.

[Brooke]

That's what I'm saying, Jeff. Maybe she flips it to an American accent when she's drunk.

[Jeffrey]

Was it just one thing that you heard, or did you, like, stick around and hear her really have a full conversation?

[Will]

Actually, yeah. At one point, I got up and out of my seat and sat on the booth behind them so she couldn't see me, but I could listen to them for a while. And she did not have a British accent.

[Brooke]

Let's not share that part. Dad creepily sitting behind her, but eavesdropping.

[Jeffrey]

Can I ask, like, the biggest question? Like, does it matter, or is it gonna change anything if you find out that she's not British?

[Will]

You know, at first I was like, oh, that's odd.

[Brooke]

Weird.

[Will]

But then the more I think about it, she's lying about her accent. Like, who knows what else she's lying to us about? Like, maybe her entire resume is fake.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Like, obviously she did it to get a job.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

So, I mean, what else could she have said?

[Brooke]

It worked. When she makes your family beef Wellington, does it taste.

[Jeffrey]

Does it taste like authentic British beef if she could be Wellington, you. So at no point during the night did you ever, like, go up and confront her about it?

[Will]

I didn't confront her at the bar, but as I was leaving, we had to walk past her in her friend group. So I did make eye contact with her.

[Jeffrey]

She saw you.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Will]

I gave her a big, like, exaggerated one of these, like, cheerio.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my. You were basically like, I caught you.

[Will]

You know, I had a. I had a couple, and I was a little mad, you know?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, that makes sense.

[Brooke]

So wait, have you talk to your wife about this?

[Will]

No, I haven't even told her about this yet. I just think she would Be, like, completely heartbroken and devastated. But, you know, I just don't know what to do. Like, we're supposed to put 100% trust in this woman. She's taking care of our kids, she's taking care of our house, and now the trust is broken.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. So you're somebody who really cares about their kids and their well being. Don't meet a lot of dads like you, but. So what. What exactly are you looking to do with your awkward call here?

[Will]

Well, obviously, I think I gave her the impression that I know she's lying, so I need to. I think she needs to give my wife her resignation is what she needs to do. I'm not good. Like, I've never had to fire anybody before. I'm not really good at, like, awkward job confrontations, so I don't really know how to approach this.

[Brooke]

It sounds like drunk. You was real ready to do it.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, maybe that's our advice, bro. Be quiet.

[Will]

I shouldn't be making any decisions with a few pints of me.

[Jeffrey]

Well, you may have come to the right place, because it's sounds like Brooke has fired most of the people who've taken care of her children.

[Brooke]

I had one bad experience when my kid was, like, 1 years old.

[Jeffrey]

But you enjoyed firing.

[Brooke]

I did not. I was actually really upset about it.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh. So let's, like, Brook, do the talking.

[Brooke]

Yeah, it was really tricky.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well, let's bring Brooke to tears a second time by firing somebody else's. But be quiet when you cry in the background. Okay, Brooke. And we're gonna come back, give you our advice to help you make your awkward Tuesday phone call to your fake British nanny and tell her she needs to resign.

[Brooke]

Hey, maybe fake. We don't know for sure. For sure. 99% fake.

[Jeffrey]

She could have been faking an American accent for 30 seconds.

[Brooke]

Maybe she wanted to fit in with her friend group, Jeff.

[Matt Rogers]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, and maybe those pills in your cabinet ate themselves.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Also 99.

[Matt Rogers]

99.

[Jeffrey]

We'll give you our advice right after this. Hold on.

[Will]

It's awkward.

[Brooke]

It's Tuesday.

[Will]

It's awkward.

[Jeffrey]

Tuesday phone call. How do you tell your posh British nanny that, you know, she isn't really posh or British in any way? You, of course, turn to us the least posh morning show in all of the Americas because our listener Will ran into his nanny out at the bar recently and saw her talking with some of her friends, got a little closer, and realized that's not a British accent she's using. Yeah, she sounds fully American. And it didn't stop. It kept on going until he realized she must have been lying about it the entire time she's been working for his family.

[Brooke]

Yeah, like what else is she lying about?

[Jeffrey]

If that's the case, a lot of concerns. So he hasn't told his wife about it. Cuz she'd be completely crushed. Instead, he's hoping to avoid that heartache and just call his nanny directly right now on the show and encourage her to resign.

[Brooke]

Well, maybe. Maybe. I mean, the thing is, is I still think that there's a 1% chance that there's some sort of accent misunderstanding.

[Matt Rogers]

Okay.

[Brooke]

You know, really good excuse. Yeah, sure, sure. And the thing is, Jeff, you're gonna know immediately because we're gonna call from an unknown number, right? And she's either gonna answer in a British hello or an American hello.

[Will]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Or what if it's another accent that we don't even expect coming? Oh, and suddenly she's German? That'd be fun.

[Brooke]

And it's impressive at that point. And it's. If she answers in a British hello, then maybe there's a reason.

[Will]

Right.

[Brooke]

And you just need to have an honest conversation about what you saw.

[Jeffrey]

If she answers in the British hello, though, it does throw the whole thing off. So Brooke, what's your advice?

[Brooke]

Well, do exactly what I just said. Listen for that first hello.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well, you're able to distinguish between an American and a British hello? Yes. That'd be so funny.

[Will]

I think I can manage.

[Brooke]

Yeah, it's gonna be a big problem if that's.

[Will]

Hello, love.

[Jeffrey]

It's like I knew you were from Texas. I knew it. Okay, Will, I. I don't think we got your nanny's name in part one. What? What's her name?

[Will]

Her name is Elsie.

[Brooke]

Elsie what?

[Jeffrey]

A British name does sound British. Okay, so here we go. That's our advice for you, Will. You can take what you want from it, but I'm going to dial your nanny Elsie right now and hopefully she picks up the phone. Let's do it.

[Brooke]

All right.

[Will]

Here goes nothing.

[Brooke]

Good luck, man.

[Jeffrey]

We're on your side, no matter what.

[Will]

Hello? Elsie, it's Will.

[Chelsea (Fake British Nanny)]

Oh, hello, William.

[Will]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Top of the morning to you.

[Chelsea (Fake British Nanny)]

And to you as well. My apologies. I. I was just in the loo having a bath.

[Will]

Okay, okay. You don't have to do this anymore.

[Chelsea (Fake British Nanny)]

Sorry, whatever. Are you talking about the accent?

[Will]

I heard you just say hello, like clear as day, American accent. You can drop the British thing.

[Chelsea (Fake British Nanny)]

Bullocks. Whatever do you mean?

[Jeffrey]

Bollocks?

[Will]

Look, Elsie, you know, I was at the bar the other night, Right?

[Chelsea (Fake British Nanny)]

Oh, yes, I recall we crossed paths at the pub.

[Will]

Yeah. At the pub. Yeah. Well, I went to talk to you. You didn't see me, and I was listening to you talk for a long time in a normal American accent with your girlfriends or whoever they were, so I know what you're doing.

[Chelsea (Fake British Nanny)]

Oh, that. That was but a trifle of a game. We were playing Hook Like a Yank.

[Will]

Okay, okay, it didn't sound like a game. It sounded like normal girl time. I don't have time for this. You've obviously pulled one over on myself and my family for a half a year now, and I'm just, like. I'm just shocked and I'm disappointed, and I'm trying to figure out, like, why you would do this to us.

[Chelsea (Fake British Nanny)]

You don't understand.

[Will]

I'm gonna give you one more chance. Just tell me the truth. Otherwise, I'm hanging up the phone and I'm telling my wife what's going on.

[Chelsea (Fake British Nanny)]

Okay, fine. I'm not really British. I'm from Ohio.

[Will]

There it is. There. Finally, the truth. Look, I'm.

[Chelsea (Fake British Nanny)]

I'm sorry.

[Will]

What? Like, what the hell were you thinking? Like, did you not think that I wouldn't find out? That we wouldn't find out? That anybody wouldn't pick up on this at any point? You think you could just do it forever?

[Chelsea (Fake British Nanny)]

I don't know.

[Brooke]

Oh, God.

[Chelsea (Fake British Nanny)]

Thinking about it and things kind of spun out of control.

[Will]

So were you slipping back into it again? What are you doing?

[Chelsea (Fake British Nanny)]

Well, it's just. This has been. You don't know this, but it's been really difficult for me. I mean, I've been doing this for six months and hasn't been easy. You know, every time before work, I Google British slang.

[Will]

Oh, my God.

[Chelsea (Fake British Nanny)]

Figure out how to make crumpets. I don't even like tea. Microwaving it for show and then dumping it in the sink when you leave.

[Will]

Elsie. What? You don't even have to do. Why were you even doing any of that in the first place? Well.

[Chelsea (Fake British Nanny)]

Well, my name is Kelsey, but I thought Elsie sounded more British.

[Brooke]

Right.

[Will]

Okay, this is worse than I thought.

[Chelsea (Fake British Nanny)]

Well, and if I'm being honest, I've never even seen Harry Potter. I just give them the Wikipedia plot summaries.

[Brooke]

What?

[Will]

Why? Why? Why? Why would you do this?

[Chelsea (Fake British Nanny)]

I don't know. I just. The job market hasn't been great, and I found out you get paid well as a nanny and very well if you're a British nanny, so this is just kind of went with it.

[Will]

Elsie, I mean, Chelsea, you must have known this wasn't going to end well. You know we can't continue to employ you.

[Chelsea (Fake British Nanny)]

No. What will you tell the children? Mary Poppins got deported. How dreadful.

[Jeffrey]

That's very likely nowadays. Honestly. Actually.

[Will]

Stupid.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my God.

[Chelsea (Fake British Nanny)]

Who's. Who's this?

[Will]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

We'Ve been listening to this phone call. You're on a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Chelsea (Fake British Nanny)]

Well, who are these people? What is this?

[Will]

The radio. The radio station. They're helping me out because I didn't know how to bring this up with you because the situation is so insane.

[Jeffrey]

It's really mean.

[Chelsea (Fake British Nanny)]

At least, look, I'm good with the kids and their homework. You know, I'm a good nanny. It's going to be hard to find someone to replace me. I'm pretty good at my job. The kids really like me.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, there were no complaints about your performance, right? It was just the accident.

[Will]

Yes. It's the principle of the matter that you've been lying to us and to my kids.

[Jeffrey]

I think it's a matter of trust at this point, Chelsea, where you've broken this family's trust. And how are they supposed to allow their kids around you if you're never telling the truth?

[Chelsea (Fake British Nanny)]

Well, a really important lesson to teach children is forgiveness. So I think that this could work.

[Jeffrey]

You are. You're really good at spinning things. I will admit you are.

[Brooke]

False identities.

[Chelsea (Fake British Nanny)]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Look, Chelsea, the whole reason that Will wanted to do it this way was because he didn't want to create a scene in front of his wife. He didn't think that was fair to his family and his kids. He thinks the right way to go about it is for you to hand in your resignation. Yeah, I mean, that would be.

[Will]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

The least friction.

[Brooke]

And that poor mother is so stressed out already. She's back to work. She's got kids at home. Like, she needs less stress, not more in her life. Make it as smooth as possible.

[Will]

Yeah, I just. I'm gonna have to let you go.

[Brooke]

Oh, man.

[Chelsea (Fake British Nanny)]

Oh, no.

[Will]

Elsie, drop it. I'm trying to talk to you.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, bring back Chelsea. Chelsea needs to hear this.

[Will]

Chelsea. Geez.

[Chelsea (Fake British Nanny)]

Could you please just give me one more chance? I mean, we could do something like, maybe I'm taking American accent classes. Maybe we, like, slowly phase out my accent.

[Brooke]

So lying to the children on top of all the lies already such a.

[Jeffrey]

Common thing that all British people want to do American accent classes.

[Will]

Well, it just.

[Chelsea (Fake British Nanny)]

It just feels ridiculous that you're willing to fire me over an accent when everything Else is so great.

[Jeffrey]

I think it's the long term implications of it. But, Will, it's really up to you at this point.

[Will]

Yeah, yeah. I won't even bring up the accent thing. We'll just say that you were. There was an accident, like you were driving on the wrong side of the road or something, and you can't come to work.

[Brooke]

Don't kill the nanny.

[Chelsea (Fake British Nanny)]

Well, you've heard of people who get in an accent and then they speak in a different dialect when they wake up from their coma. It's brilliant.

[Jeffrey]

She really likes working for this family, bro.

[Will]

Okay, we're not living in a. We're not living in a movie here, okay? That's not happening. All right? We'll figure this out.

[Jeffrey]

Okay?

[Brooke]

Yeah, you're out of work.

[Jeffrey]

You're out of work with this family, Chelsea. But I'm sure there's another family who would be happy to have Elsie and learn all of her British.

[Brooke]

The Royal Family. Ooh, yeah, they're hiring.

[Jeffrey]

They're always having more kids.

[Chelsea (Fake British Nanny)]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

I know the group was a little shocked, maybe critical of how William wanted to let his wife know the British nanny wouldn't be coming over anymore.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

But you gotta admit, it was a little clever that she's from England and she's driving on the wrong side of the road over here. That was well thought out on his part.

[Brooke]

He was joking, I hope.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, if he was, then great, funny, educated joke.

[Brooke]

If not, he's got to tell his wife the whole story. That's how. I don't understand how marriages exist.

[Jeffrey]

I think just wash your hands of it. No hurt feelings. Stretch the truth one last time, and then you're done. She died, honey. Anyway, what's for dinner? Yeah, no issues. I mean, come on. He doesn't want to break his family's hearts. And the idea of the super nanny, but that can't break their hearts.

[Brooke]

It's more heartbreaking for someone to die than to be like, also, she goes to the same bar as them, they're gonna see her again. I get how you're standing up for that idea.

[Jeffrey]

We have very different definitions of heartbreak. But you know what?

[Brooke]

If, strange man, if you're listening right.

[Jeffrey]

What if mind control is real?

[Jeffrey]

If you could control the behavior of anybody around you, what kind of life would you have?

[Brooke]

Can you hypnotically persuade someone to buy a car?

[Will]

When you look at your car, you're.

[Jeffrey]

Gonna become overwhelmed with such good feelings.

[Brooke]

Can you hypnotize someone into sleeping with you?

[Will]

I gave her some suggestions to be sexually aroused.

[Brooke]

Can you get someone to join your cult? NLP was used on me to access my subconscious mind games. A new podcast, exploring nlp, AKA Neuro linguistic programming. Is it a self help miracle, a shady hypnosis scam?
