Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Setting Up the Family Mystery

• Lauren’s Concern: Lauren calls in, baffled that after two years, her brother Jake’s girlfriend, “Dana,” remains a mystery to the entire family — no meetings, no social media proof, just a couple of blurry Polaroid photos.
  • “It’s been two years and we’ve never met her.” (Lauren, 05:33)
• Speculation Runs Wild:
  • The cast pokes fun at possible reasons: Is Jake ashamed of “Dana,” or of the family? Could she be imaginary?
  • “He may have made her up just to get them off his back.” (Lauren, 06:29)
  • “I had one of those girlfriends for a few years… just someone you make up to get your parents off your back.” (Jeff, 06:45)

2. Family Dynamics & The Plan

• Pressure from Parents: The family suspects “Dana” might not exist, with parents ready to confront Jake.
• Lauren’s Motivation: She wants to approach Jake first and help avoid a “huge family blowout.”
  • “I want to get to him and get the answers before they, you know, pre-con-marriage.” (Lauren, 07:30)
• Advice from Hosts:
  • Brooke suggests blaming the parents to foster sibling bonding and get Jake to open up.
    • “Throw your parents under the bus. Then hopefully he’ll come clean and be honest with you.” (Brooke, 10:27)
  • Jose advises Lauren to show support, not judgment.

3. The Awkward Phone Call (11:37–14:46)

• Initial Dodges: Jake deflects, saying “Dana” is busy or not ready.
• Lauren Pushes Back: She asks directly if “Dana” is real.
  • “Just be honest. Okay? Does she exist? Is Dana a real person? Because it’s okay if she’s not.” (Lauren, 13:40)
• Reveal #1: Jake insists “Dana” is real, but Lauren remains skeptical.

4. Shocking Twist

• Reveal #2: Jake cracks under pressure and drops a bombshell:
  • “We’re not ready because Dana isn’t her real name.” (Jake, 14:23)
  • “The real name is Claire. And… you know her. It’s our stepsister.” (Jake, 14:31)
• Hosts’ Reactions:
  • Brooke, Jose, and Jeff audibly freak out at the reveal.
    • “I am freaking out.” (Brooke, 15:04)
    • “That’s not normal, Jake. That’s not normal.” (Lauren, 16:00)
  • Jake tries to justify, “It’s not like we’re blood related. It’s fine.” (Jake, 16:02)
  • He explains the relationship developed as adults, not when they were living together as teenagers.

5. Processing the Fallout

• Questions from Hosts:
  • Did Jake plan to tell the family after engagement?
  • How did they hide the relationship during family events?
  • “So… she’s already at your family holiday stuff? You guys just aren’t acting like a couple during it?” (Brooke, 17:00)
• Lauren’s Dismay:
  • She expresses she’s unhappy, half-joking about wanting them to break up before the secret comes out.
    • “Maybe it’s better not to tell mom and dad… Wait another year and I’m going to cross my fingers and hope you break up by then.” (Lauren, 18:29)

6. Classic Brooke and Jeffrey Comedy

• The hosts keep the tone light with jokes and irreverent asides:
  • “Maybe she’s Bigfoot. Blurry photos.” (Brooke, 09:27)
  • “You know her well.” (Jose, 16:54)
  • Suggesting future pranks, closure calls, or a fake “second date update” with Jake and his stepsister to milk the situation for content.

[Liberty Mutual Announcer]

There's nowhere I wouldn't go to help someone customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual. Even if it means playing in a football game.

[Host Jeff]

Boom. 42. You're going down, Doug. Oh yeah.

[Liberty Mutual Announcer]

Your price on car insurance when you customize and save is going down.

[Host Jeff]

Hey.

[Co-host Jose]

Limu.

[Commercial Announcer]

What are you doing on their team?

[Liberty Mutual Announcer]

Only pay for what you [e-mail] Liberty.

[Host Jeff]

Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. We've all lied to our parents before. Sometimes you have to.

[Co-host Jose]

Yeah, honestly.

[Host Jeff]

No, mom, the chicken wasn't too dry. Yeah, I love the electric nose hair trimmer for my birthday. I'm so glad you gave me that instead of a car. Yeah, I never even wanted to be cool anyway. Thanks, Mom.

[Co-host Jose]

But look at this nose.

[Host Jeff]

But some lies are bigger than others. And one of our listeners today needs our help for that exact reason. Because she's worried that her brother has been hiding something from her entire family for over two years. It's a big secret, and I can promise you this, it might lead to a huge family blowout if we don't step in right now.

[Co-host Brooke]

I love family secrets. Let's step in.

[Host Jeff]

We're going to do it. Awkward Tuesday phone call. Next. It's awkward.

[Caller Lauren]

It's Tuesday.

[Host Jeff]

It's awkward Tuesday phone call. I've told you guys countless times about how awkward it is to hang out with my family.

[Co-host Jose]

Yeah, but we love hearing about.

[Host Jeff]

Yeah, hearing about. It's one thing. Living it is a different experience because just this past weekend, my father angrily did dishes for a half hour. Why? Because nobody else was doing them at the time. So he was getting his hands wet, cursing while violently shoving plates into the dishwasher, screaming about how he doesn't want to get food poisoning again.

[Co-host Brooke]

All right, this all checks out.

[Host Jeff]

So there you go. Just a normal family gathering for the Dubose. And one of our listeners, Lauren, is having her own issues with an upcoming family get together, apparently regarding her brother. Lauren, do you think maybe your brother wants to hang out and do dishes with my dad? Because it might actually solve both of our problems.

[Caller Lauren]

Yeah, I would love that.

[Host Jeff]

Okay.

[Co-host Brooke]

I mean, Jeff says that, but, you know, he was in the other room being like, I know he's mad, but I really don't want to do him.

[Co-host Jose]

Yeah, he's like, dad, keep it down. I'm watching a musical in here.

[Host Jeff]

Don't judge me enough about my dad and his dishes. Anger. What about your brother? What's going on with him?

[Caller Lauren]

Okay, so it's rather bizarre because my brother's been in a relationship with a girl for about two years now.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Oh, okay.

[Co-host Brooke]

So they've been together for a while.

[Caller Lauren]

Yeah, they have. They have. Two years. Especially for my brother, two years is a while because he's always been a super career oriented, focused guy.

[Co-host Brooke]

You know, I thought for sure, sure. That was not going to be followed by a compliment. And it was.

[Host Jeff]

Well, you thought he was going to use a big loser.

[Co-host Brooke]

Yeah, exactly. You know, because he's my brother and.

[Host Jeff]

Who'D want to be with him?

[Caller Jake]

Yuck.

[Host Jeff]

Okay, good sister. Some people are like that, though. They don't get into a lot of relationships.

[Co-host Brooke]

Yeah, yeah. Like me, right?

[Host Jeff]

Yeah.

[Caller Lauren]

But the issue is that it's been two years and we've never met her.

[Co-host Brooke]

What?

[Host Jeff]

Oh.

[Co-host Jose]

Oh, that's Sketch.

[Host Jeff]

That's a long time.

[Co-host Brooke]

What do you mean you've never met her?

[Caller Lauren]

Well, he's super secretive about her and. And, like, he won't tell us much or show us photos. Like, he's showing me a couple of Polaroids.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Polaroids?

[Caller Lauren]

Polaroids. I know he's. He's vintage. What can I say?

[Commercial Announcer]

You can print them from your phone now.

[Caller Lauren]

That's right.

[Co-host Brooke]

Wait, do they live in another country or something? Is that why, like, I just. They can't be close to you then, right?

[Caller Lauren]

We don't live super close. No. But whenever the opportunity for us to meet her comes up, all of a sudden she's either busy or sick or something's come up and, you know, it's just getting super weird.

[Host Jeff]

What do you think is happening in this situation? Do you think he's just ashamed of you and your family?

[Co-host Brooke]

Oh, I thought it was going to be ashamed of the girlfriend.

[Host Jeff]

That's where I went. That's why I didn't introduce anybody ashamed of either.

[Caller Lauren]

Yeah, I think there's always this pressure from my parents. When are you going to settle down? You know, when are you going to get married and have a family? And part of me thinks he may have made her up just to get them off his back.

[Co-host Jose]

You don't think she's real?

[Co-host Brooke]

Oh, there's the realty.

[Host Jeff]

Oh, I had one of those girls girlfriends for a few years and that was kind of nice.

[Co-host Brooke]

Yeah, I mean, serious.

[Host Jeff]

Just someone that you make up just to get your parents off your back.

[Co-host Jose]

Mom, I've been dating the same girl for 15 years, since I was in third grade.

[Host Jeff]

I told you, Sarah's just very shy.

[Co-host Brooke]

Okay. Okay. That would be one thing to make it up for your parents because they're putting pressure on you, but he would lie to you as well. You think you're his own sister about a girlfriend?

[Co-host Jose]

Yeah, that's where you should be cool.

[Caller Lauren]

He might be embarrassed, you know, And I just want to let him know that if that's the case, he doesn't have to make someone up. Like, he can be honest.

[Co-host Brooke]

So we're just going to publicly call him out? I like it.

[Co-host Jose]

Yeah.

[Host Jeff]

I am confused. What is it that you want to do with your call here? You want to call your brother? And say what?

[Caller Lauren]

I don't know what to say. That's why I'm calling you. But the big issue is that I have to do it this way because my parents said that they are going to confront him about it. So, yes, I want to get to him and get the Answers before they, you know, pre con marriage.

[Co-host Brooke]

It's like a whole family discussion behind his back that everyone thinks his girlfriend's fake.

[Caller Lauren]

Pretty much that.

[Co-host Jose]

Now after two years, you're like, okay. Every single time, every year.

[Co-host Brooke]

It doesn't make sense.

[Co-host Jose]

It does kind of get.

[Host Jeff]

Are you sure you don't want that to happen just for, like, the good video that you could post?

[Caller Lauren]

No, I'm trying to save him before things get really ugly. Because there could be a huge fallout.

[Host Jeff]

I didn't think about that. Maybe she is really ugly. You could be right about that. Is that what she said? I thought I heard her say she could be really ugly.

[Co-host Brooke]

No, things could get really ugly and there could be a fallout.

[Host Jeff]

Oh, okay. But it still is a decent theory, right? Okay, that could be it. We'll find out. We're going to play a song, we'll come back and we'll give you shortest awkward Tuesday ever.

[Co-host Jose]

Oh, she ugly.

[Host Jeff]

She's an ugly one. Sorry. Yeah, no, we're going to play a song, we'll come back and we'll give you some advice and let you make your awkward Tuesday phone call to your brother to find out if his girlfriend is real or made up or just shy. We're gonna do it right after this. All right.

[Caller Lauren]

Thank you.

[Host Jeff]

All right. Hold on. It's awkward.

[Caller Lauren]

It's Tuesday.

[Host Jeff]

It's awkward Tuesday phone call. Today we're on a mission. A mission to track down the invisible girlfriend. Is she real? We don't know. This is what we have. We have no social media posts of the two of them together, no family meetups, and two blurry Polaroid photos that have been seen at a brother sister get together, along with a million excuses for why she can't ever meet the fan.

[Co-host Brooke]

Oh, my God. Maybe she's Bigfoot. Blurry photos.

[Co-host Jose]

It makes sense. She's a mystery.

[Host Jeff]

But here's my question. If she's invisible, okay, how do we know she's not on the phone with us right now? Dana, are you here? Blink twice if you're here. I'm not hearing the blinks.

[Caller Jake]

I prefer that, but no.

[Host Jeff]

This is a real situation. We're not joking around. It's been two years, and one of our listeners, Lauren, says she has still not met her brother's girlfriend, and it's becoming a little bit of an issue in their family, so she's looking to get ahead of this before her parents get involved. Brooke, what's your advice for Lauren before we call her brother?

[Co-host Brooke]

Listen, the quickest way to bond with your sibling is to have a common enemy. And we all know that enemy is always your parents. I'm right. Okay, so listen, you need to go to him and be like, oh, my God, you are not going to believe what mom and dad are saying behind your back. And I don't even know how to respond. Throw them under the bus.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Yeah.

[Co-host Brooke]

No. Yes. Throw your parents under the bus. And then hopefully he'll come clean and be honest with you.

[Host Jeff]

Lauren, you liking that?

[Caller Lauren]

I do like that strategy. I do. Divide and conquer. Divide the parents.

[Host Jeff]

Okay, so throw the parents under the bus. That's option one. Jose, what do you think?

[Co-host Jose]

I really like what you said towards the end of our last phone call, which was you are trying to save him. So, besides that. So he knows. Like, hey, I'm not just being a bossy older sister here. I'm truly trying to help. And I think that he'll naturally come clean.

[Co-host Brooke]

You don't care if he doesn't have a girlfriend, right?

[Liberty Mutual Announcer]

Yeah.

[Host Jeff]

Yeah. Regardless. Right? You're the hero here. In fact, call yourself a hero when you talk to him. To save his relationship with mom and dad. Are you ready to do this?

[Caller Lauren]

That's all I want for Christmas.

[Host Jeff]

Okay. All right.

[Co-host Jose]

Here we go, then.

[Host Jeff]

That's sweet. Here we go.

[Co-host Jose]

Family war.

[Host Jeff]

Little family division. All right, I'm going to dial your brother's phone number. We're going to back away and let you talk to him, but we'll jump in when we feel like you need a little help, okay?

[Caller Lauren]

Okay. Sounds good.

[Host Jeff]

All right, so here we go.

[IBM AI Representative]

Hello?

[Caller Lauren]

Hello? Jake?

[Caller Jake]

Lauren?

[Caller Lauren]

Yes.

[Caller Jake]

Hey.

[Caller Lauren]

How are you?

[Caller Jake]

I'm good. I didn't know it was you calling. Your name didn't pop up.

[Caller Lauren]

Oh, I'm sorry about that. You know, sometimes that'll make it a surprise. Right? Switch things up.

[Caller Jake]

Yeah. What do you mean?

[Caller Lauren]

Well, I don't know. Listen, listen. So the holidays are right around the corner, right?

[Caller Jake]

Yeah.

[Caller Lauren]

You know.

[Caller Jake]

Yeah.

[Caller Lauren]

Mom and dad are really excited to get together, as always. And they keep asking me if we're gonna get to meet Dana.

[Caller Jake]

Well, I don't know. I mean, she's got a lot on her plate right now, so I'm not sure if she'll have time. I mean, maybe.

[Caller Lauren]

You're joking, right? What do you mean she's not gonna have time? Yeah, I mean, it's been over two years now. Jake, we haven't met her.

[Caller Jake]

Well, yeah, I mean, I'm sorry, but timing's been off. Just hasn't been the right time.

[Caller Lauren]

I mean, Jake, timing's always been off. It just Is there something else going on?

[Caller Jake]

I don't know what to tell you. I mean, she's just not ready.

[Caller Lauren]

Is it dad? Cream cheese and ranch ham? Because trust me, I get it.

[Caller Jake]

No, there's nothing to do with that.

[Caller Lauren]

Okay, well, I'm your big sister, and mom and dad have been talking about this to me, and I hate that it's not good.

[Caller Jake]

So what? I mean, it's none of their business. I mean, they can talk about it as long as it's not to me.

[Caller Lauren]

They think you're hiding something, Jake. And to be honest, at this point, I kind of do too.

[Caller Jake]

Oh, come on, Jake.

[Caller Lauren]

Just be honest. Okay? Does she exist? Is she real? Is Dana. Is Dana a real person? Because it's okay if she's not like, get the pressure. I was there, too, before I met Cooper.

[Caller Jake]

Listen, she's real. I've already told you that. And honestly, that's crazy that you think I'm lying about it. It's kind of. What am I doing?

[Caller Lauren]

What am I supposed to think? There's no social media post I come over to your house and there's a few blurry polaroids. You know, it's just. It's. It's weird.

[Caller Jake]

Look, I mean, I get it, but I can't do anything about it. She's not ready. We're not ready. It's just not the time.

[Caller Lauren]

What do you mean we're not ready? Not ready for what? It's been two years.

[Caller Jake]

Fine. We're not ready because Dana isn't her real name.

[Caller Lauren]

What are you talking about?

[Caller Jake]

The real name is Claire. And you know her.

[Caller Lauren]

What are you talking about right now? I don't. I don't understand.

[Caller Jake]

It's. It's our stepsister. Okay.

[Caller Lauren]

Awkward.

[Caller Jake]

What the.

[Host Jeff]

Oh, my God. Jake. Hey.

[Commercial Announcer]

What?

[Host Jeff]

Hey, man. Oh, my God.

[Commercial Announcer]

What is.

[Host Jeff]

I think we need a second over here. My name is Jeff.

[Co-host Brooke]

I am freaking out.

[Caller Jake]

What? Oh, my God, Jake, you're on a.

[Host Jeff]

Radio show right now.

[Commercial Announcer]

What?

[Host Jeff]

Yeah, don't worry. Not a lot of people listen to us. Just a few million.

[Co-host Jose]

Just a few million. Yeah.

[Host Jeff]

But it is interesting to hear this. We. We know a lot about some of your story. From your sister.

[Caller Lauren]

Jake, are you serious? It's Claire.

[Co-host Brooke]

Okay, please tell me it's like an adult stepsister. Like, you didn't grow up together. Did you grow up together?

[Caller Jake]

Yeah, we were like, 13.

[Host Jeff]

Oh, okay. You're basically adults.

[Co-host Jose]

See, they're not kids. They were teenagers.

[Host Jeff]

Yeah, well, in the Jewish tradition, 13 is. Is adulthood. And I don't know what your religion is but since you celebrate Christmas, it's probably not.

[Co-host Brooke]

Well, you're dating your stepsister.

[Caller Jake]

Lauren. Lauren. I knew you'd react like this. This is why I don't tell you guys stuff. I mean, everyone is judgmental.

[Host Jeff]

This really does make a lot of sense.

[Caller Lauren]

That's not normal, Jake. That's not normal.

[Caller Jake]

Why not? It's not like we're blood related. It's fine.

[Host Jeff]

How does that even happen?

[Co-host Brooke]

Like, did this happen at, like, another family holiday event? Like, do you know what I'm saying?

[Co-host Jose]

That's true.

[Host Jeff]

Brooke wants to take notes so she can make it happen first. How did you organize this?

[Caller Jake]

It happened way after our teenage years. I never thought this would happen. I just. I don't know. We ended up hanging out as adults and started falling for each other. I. I like her. I don't know. I don't care.

[Co-host Brooke]

So wait, when we're talking about your mom and dad, is it your mom and stepdad that we're talking like? Oh, my. There's like, a lot of family dynamics here.

[Co-host Jose]

Yeah, we can at least acknowledge there's no blood relation.

[Caller Lauren]

Yeah, well, I lived with her in high school. I lived with her in high school. But you can't date her.

[Host Jeff]

Well, it's great. So that way you've already met. That was what the whole problem was. You said that you never met her. So you know her.

[Co-host Jose]

You know her well.

[Caller Lauren]

That's not funny.

[Caller Jake]

Yeah, you should be happy because you have already met her and she's great.

[Co-host Brooke]

Isn't she already at your family holiday stuff? You guys just aren't acting like a couple during it.

[Caller Jake]

Like, what is exactly. I mean, I. That's why I haven't made a big announcement. She's already there.

[Host Jeff]

So what do you do?

[Co-host Jose]

You have to wait until you guys, like, get engaged to tell them?

[Host Jeff]

What exactly was the plan here, Jake? Like, when were you going to come forward and say what your relationship was?

[Caller Lauren]

What was the plan, Jake?

[Caller Jake]

I mean, this is the issue. I mean, I get it. Like, I know that it's maybe not the most normal thing, you know, to be attracted to your stepsister, but I just know, to say the least, I can't ignore my feelings and neither can she.

[Co-host Jose]

I mean, look, we are a show that's all about love, right? Brooke, Love is love. So you have to support this.

[Co-host Brooke]

I get it. But, like, the shock. And if you were going to pull the band aid off, it would have helped, like, two years ago. Now you have created all of this for two.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Two years.

[Co-host Jose]

They're gonna be upset that he didn't say anything before and they're both like.

[Co-host Brooke]

They're both in the same room while people are asking him about his girlfriend.

[Co-host Jose]

Okay, be honest. You guys ever sneak away though?

[Caller Lauren]

And I don't want to know.

[Host Jeff]

I know all those family vacations you guys took together.

[Caller Lauren]

Oh, wow.

[Caller Jake]

So now you guys get it, right? Like why I have not.

[Co-host Jose]

Oh, totally.

[Host Jeff]

Yeah. Yeah. I can kind of understand why that'd be difficult to tell mom and dad.

[Co-host Jose]

Text. I would have deleted it.

[Host Jeff]

Yeah.

[Caller Lauren]

I never thought I would say this, but maybe it's better not to tell mom and dad. Wait another year and I'm going to cross my fingers and hope you break up by then.

[Co-host Brooke]

That's not supportive, Lauren. Why do I feel like she'll tell them for you?

[Host Jeff]

I mean, it's not going to be horrible then if you don't tell them. Then we can maybe even do a closure call coming up or a second date update in the future.

[Co-host Brooke]

Like with Jake and his parents?

[Host Jeff]

No, with Jake and his stepsister. Oh. It's the content that keeps on giving. That's what this segment is all about.

[Co-host Jose]

Why don't we just do a phone tap on the parents and see how they react and at the end we.

[Host Jeff]

Can go, Just kidding, just kidding.

[Co-host Jose]

It's a phone tap.

[Host Jeff]
