[Ryder Strong]

This is Ryder Strong, and I have a new podcast called the red weather. In 1995, my neighbor Anna Trainor disappeared from a commune. It was nature and trees and praying and drugs.

[Zemi]

So, no, I am not your guru.

[Ryder Strong]

Back then, I lied to everybody.

[Brooke]

They have had this case for 30 years.

[Ryder Strong]

I'm going back to my hometown to uncover the truth. Listen to the Red Weather on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Jeffrey]

You know Roald Dahl, he thought of Willy Wonka in the bfg, but did you know he was a spy? In the new podcast, the Secret World of Roald Dahl, I'll tell you that story and much, much more.

[Brooke]

What?

[Jeffrey]

You probably won't believe it either.

[Brooke]

Was this before you wrote his stories?

[Zemi]

It must have been okay.

[Brooke]

I don't think that's true.

[Jeffrey]

I'm telling you, the guy was a spy. Listen to the Secret World of Roald Dahl on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Brooke]

Is wild. Is February already? Hey, welcome to a brand new episode of your second day podcast with Brooke and Jeffrey. I know, right? I always feel like January is 822 days, and then once you hit February, you wake up and it's November. Yeah, downhill. What happened? Crazy. But we got a new episode to get you through it. Awkward Tuesday phone call today. And we always love to start with your comments. Yes, Cora said I used to listen to you guys on the radio when I'd go to work with my dad six to eight years ago. We lived in Idaho at the time, and I just started to again after finding you guys on TikTok. And I've been here for maybe seven months. Dude, that's so awesome you're back.

[Ryder Strong]

Did you get a new job? Were you eight years without a job?

[Brooke]

Yeah. Nope.

[Ryder Strong]

Send your resume.

[Brooke]

I want to see her dad got lost. Oh, yeah. Drive one morning. Hey, thanks for being here. Yeah, thanks for finding us. A brand new episode just for you. Starts right now.

[Jeffrey]

Did you know actress Charlize Theron was discovered randomly by a Hollywood agent who witnessed her arguing with a bank teller?

[Brooke]

What? Oh.

[Jeffrey]

Whoa. True story.

[Brooke]

That's crazy.

[Jeffrey]

Also, Pam Anderson, she got spotted on a hockey game. Jumbotron, yo. Yeah, that's how she was found. And Timothee Chalamet was discovered when a director mistook him for a coat rack and popped him into a scene. And they were like, oh, wait, he's a human and he can act.

[Ryder Strong]

And you're now the hottest guy in Hollywood.

[Jeffrey]

Somehow, I know. Just in. In one instant, everything changed for all these people. And one of our listeners says that's now happening to him because he walked into a bakery one morning as just a normal nobody, and now thousands of strangers know his name, and it has created a very weird issue that only we can help him with. You're gonna hear it in your brand new Awkward Tuesday phone call next.

[Ryder Strong]

It's Awkward.

[Brooke]

It's Tuesday.

[Ryder Strong]

It's Awkward Tuesday phone call.

[Jeffrey]

They say life can in the blink of an eye.

[Addison]

That's true.

[Jeffrey]

But for one of our listeners, it only took 72 hours for his life to be completely turned upside down. His name is Zemi with a Z. And a lot of times, if I set up a segment the way that I just said, you would think, oh, no, terrible things must have happened. Have his life turned totally around?

[Brooke]

Yeah, when you say upside down, the down part is usually the bad part.

[Ryder Strong]

Jeff, I assume he's doing good, but.

[Jeffrey]

It'S actually the exact opposite. It's been a wonderful past 72 hours.

[Brooke]

So maybe his life turned right side up.

[Jeffrey]

Whatever it is turning has happened. And apparently it's come to the point where Zemi needs our help, and that's what we do right here on the Awkward Tuesday. So, Zemi, welcome to the show.

[Zemi]

Hey. Hi. Hi.

[Brooke]

Oh, you do sound like a happy man, Zemi.

[Zemi]

I try.

[Brooke]

Okay. I can't wait to hear about the last 72 hours.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. What's happened? How did your life change?

[Zemi]

So I was at a bakery recently. I was waiting in line to get these really popular fruit scones that they make.

[Ryder Strong]

Please tell me, like, a muffin turned your life around.

[Brooke]

That's right. Same Jose.

[Zemi]

Yeah, they're really great. They recently went viral.

[Brooke]

That's what this whole thing is about.

[Zemi]

So I'm standing in line, right? And there's this really cute girl behind me, and she asked me, hey, can you move over so I can get a video of the food case?

[Brooke]

Oh, okay.

[Ryder Strong]

Oh, she's doing, like, a video just.

[Jeffrey]

To film the food.

[Brooke]

I'd be worried that she was just using it as a ruse to take my spot in line.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yeah, she does that all the way to the very front.

[Brooke]

The only one who's like, she's so nice. She's bringing home food for somebody.

[Ryder Strong]

She can be, like, taking pictures, like, hey, what do you guys want?

[Menelik Lumumba]

Maybe.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. What did you do?

[Zemi]

Well, she says, hey, how many are you gonna buy? Because she doesn't want them to run out.

[Brooke]

Oh, okay.

[Zemi]

I tell her I'm gonna buy all of them, and she can buy one of them off of me for triple the price. Whoa.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, okay.

[Menelik Lumumba]

Are you kidding?

[Jeffrey]

This is a joke. Like, you're flirting in a joking way.

[Zemi]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Ryder Strong]

He's like, no, I'm an entrepreneur.

[Brooke]

Like, yeah. Unless she were to offer me a lot of money.

[Jeffrey]

Right.

[Ryder Strong]

But that's good. You, like, crack a joke.

[Jeffrey]

What'd she say?

[Zemi]

She laughs and says, rude. And then we became, like, instant friends right there as we were waiting. Her name is Addison.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Zemi]

And then she asked me, hey, will you be in my video and try a scone with me? I'm an influencer.

[Brooke]

Oh, cute.

[Zemi]

I was like, sure.

[Addison]

Okay.

[Narrator (Betrayal Podcast)]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Probably didn't expect to do it, but why not? Cool.

[Zemi]

We tasted them together, you know, as she's recording us, and we rated them.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Zemi]

After this video was over, I realized I wanted to hang out more with her. And then we ended up going out for drinks.

[Brooke]

Sweet.

[Zemi]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Amazing.

[Zemi]

And again, she's like filming all the things we do. Oh, she's wherever we go.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, well, she's an influencer.

[Ryder Strong]

Expect that.

[Brooke]

It's kind of annoying, though.

[Addison]

Or not annoying.

[Ryder Strong]

I feel like it's like you'd expect.

[Brooke]

That, but on a date, you're like, yeah. You know, there's a difference between work and personal.

[Jeffrey]

How did you feel about it?

[Zemi]

Well, I mean, you know, she's cute. So.

[Jeffrey]

If you want to film me 24 7, I guess you have my consent.

[Zemi]

Okay, here's kind of the weird part. I go to use the restroom, and I'm in the stall and I start to search on my phone for her.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Zemi]

And I find her Instagram. Okay. And she does have a ton of followers.

[Brooke]

Okay, so she's legit.

[Menelik Lumumba]

That's cool.

[Zemi]

Yeah. And the last couple videos are of me, right?

[Jeffrey]

She's been filming both of you, right?

[Zemi]

Yeah, exactly. I mean, video of us at the bakery. And the caption is, cute guy found in the wild.

[Brooke]

Okay, awesome. What a win for you.

[Zemi]

And then there's another video. Was like, oh, my gosh, he kissed me.

[Brooke]

What?

[Jeffrey]

You kissed her?

[Ryder Strong]

Bro, you didn't tell us you kissed.

[Zemi]

Well, yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. I mean, these are. I mean, these are all, like, good things. It sounds like she's saying, but why are you saying them so hesitantly?

[Ryder Strong]

Yeah, what's the problem?

[Zemi]

Well, it was just so weird to see my love life playing out real time on social media.

[Brooke]

Don't date anyone on this show.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Ryder Strong]

Anyone influencing.

[Zemi]

I'm not used to this. And so there's a lot of engagement. Like, you know, they're all like, oh, I think you found the one.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, wow, that's heavy.

[Zemi]

But the weird thing was some of my friends start messaging me.

[Brooke]

Oh, no.

[Zemi]

And sending me links. Like, have you seen this?

[Ryder Strong]

It hit their algorithm.

[Zemi]

Yeah, it just happened a couple days ago. And I haven't talked to her about this. I mean, I'm okay with her posting some videos of us. Right. The issue I do have is I'm not cool with her using my actual name. Like, I have a pretty unique name.

[Jeffrey]

Sammy with a Z. Don't know a lot of those. Okay, so you're okay with your face and stuff being in the videos, just not actually saying who you are as a full name?

[Zemi]

Yeah, I enjoy hanging out with her, obviously, and I'm happy to help her make her videos, but I don't want my personal stuff being put out there and strangers looking me up and finding me.

[Brooke]

Okay, that makes sense, because people can DM you and harass you and stuff. If they have your username. And if you end up dumping her, you're going to be the villain. Yeah. You know, people online do weird stuff.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Okay, so I see you're uncomfortable. We're going to come back and we'll give you our advice on how to make this awkward Tuesday phone call to an influencer you met days ago and tell her, hey, here's how I think you should run your account.

[Brooke]

Okay, well, maybe we'll word it a little bit differently. Okay.

[Jeffrey]

We'll find the nicer way to say that with your awkward Tuesday phone call. Next.

[Ryder Strong]

It's awkward.

[Brooke]

It's Tuesday.

[Ryder Strong]

It's awkward Tuesday phone call.

[Jeffrey]

What a fun past 72 hours it's been for our listener, Zemi.

[Zemi]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Who randomly met a social media influencer at a bakery while he was getting some trendy new pastry that they're selling. Found out her name's Addison, and also discovered that he's the new star of her Instagram account.

[Brooke]

They even shared a kiss.

[Jeffrey]

They did. Possibly on camera. And he hasn't talked to her about it yet, but he knows that she's posting all about him, and there's been references to. Maybe he's the one her followers are going crazy in.

[Brooke]

The comments say that. Yeah, the commenter said that, but she.

[Jeffrey]

Did not disagree with it.

[Brooke]

Well, you can't dislike comments.

[Ryder Strong]

A couple hundred comments, you're not gonna go through everyone.

[Jeffrey]

Still, it puts Zemi in a very awkward situation where he's clearly overwhelmed, but he's trying to be cool about it and says, you know what? I think I can handle that. It's just that she's using his actual name. Yes, very unique. So it wouldn't be hard for a stranger to find him and for things to get really weird.

[Ryder Strong]

I mean, his friends found him. Yes, it just popped in their algorithm.

[Jeffrey]

So there's the issue he wants to tell Addison, hey, I found your social media, and please don't use my name anymore. Okay, now we need some advice for how he can do this. Brooke, what do you think?

[Brooke]

Very easy. You need to spin it as a positive. Okay, Zemi, so, like, in the radio world, like, nicknames are big, right? There's Cabbage Patch or there's Cabana Boy.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Brooke]

So you need to know and tell her. For branding, it would be way better if you were just known as Scone Boy.

[Jeffrey]

Oh.

[Brooke]

You know what I mean?

[Jeffrey]

What do you think of that? Scone Boy.

[Zemi]

That's not a bad idea. A nickname.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I like it as a potential nickname, even for this segment.

[Brooke]

There you go, Jeff.

[Jeffrey]

Let's do the awkward Tuesday Scone boy call.

[Brooke]

It's not working. What are you saying?

[Ryder Strong]

You've been scold Brooke?

[Jeffrey]

You know what? I changed my mind. That was a terrible idea. I can't believe you suggested that. I'm sorry. Hopefully we get you something better from Jose. What do you think?

[Ryder Strong]

Well, I feel like I'm a little bit connected with Brooke. Right. We're gonna speak directly to what she wants so she can't say no.

[Brooke]

There we go.

[Ryder Strong]

If she wants to double her followers, she needs to turn you into the mystery man. Oh, so she posts about you, right? But she blurs your face, never says your name. People will eat that up, dude.

[Jeffrey]

Zemi, what do you think?

[Zemi]

It's kind of too late for that. But yeah, your face is already in the video.

[Jeffrey]

Delete it.

[Ryder Strong]

You can never delete the first video. No one's gonna remember that.

[Jeffrey]

Start wearing a bag over your head whenever you hang out so they can't see your face.

[Ryder Strong]

Oh, or make up a story. Mystery man beat up Zemi. Zemi is no longer in my life.

[Brooke]

Oh, now it's Scumbo.

[Ryder Strong]

It's Go boy mystery man.

[Menelik Lumumba]

Wow, look.

[Jeffrey]

Look at all that content you just provided.

[Ryder Strong]

We're killing it here.

[Jeffrey]

See, Zemi, this is why we're rated number one.

[Brooke]

Questionably weird advice and why she has more followers than.

[Jeffrey]

Yes, all of it's checking out. Does any of this feel helpful to you?

[Zemi]

Maybe.

[Jeffrey]

All right, we'll take that.

[Ryder Strong]

It's better than no.

[Brooke]

You got it, Sconey.

[Jeffrey]

That's a big thumbs up from us. So I'm just going to dial Addison's number and I'll let you make your awkward call. We're here to support you if you need it.

[Menelik Lumumba]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Good luck.

[Zemi]

Okay, thank you.

[Jeffrey]

You got this. Here we go.

[Addison]

Hello?

[Zemi]

Hey, you.

[Addison]

Hi.

[Zemi]

Who's this? It's Zemi.

[Addison]

Oh, hi. Sorry, I didn't recognize the number.

[Zemi]

Yeah, I'm calling from my work phone. I gotta work sometimes. I can't hang out with you every day.

[Addison]

Yeah, but you know you want to.

[Zemi]

Yeah, yeah, true.

[Addison]

So what's up?

[Zemi]

So remember when we met at the bakery? I mean, it was only three days ago, so I'm sure you remember. Yeah, well, you wanted. You wanted me to be in a video for social media with you, right?

[Addison]

I think you were really cute. Like a lot of people love that. You know, you got a lot of traction.

[Zemi]

Thanks. So, yeah, funny thing. I found your account and videos of us and I saw the comments and the Caption you did? Oh, my God.

[Addison]

Oh, gosh. I'm so embarrassed. Is it too much like. Oh, I mean, it's probably a lot. I'm sorry.

[Zemi]

No, no, no. Honestly, it's fine. It really doesn't bother me that much. Oh, my God, really? Yeah. Yeah. But, well, there is one thing I would like to ask, though.

[Addison]

What's that?

[Zemi]

I'd really rather that you don't use my actual name.

[Addison]

Wait, what do you mean?

[Zemi]

Like, maybe you could, you know, give me a different name or, like, a nickname, like Scone Boy or something, or. Or even just like, maybe use my first initial maybe.

[Addison]

Okay. Sorry. That's definitely not your decision.

[Zemi]

What do you mean it's not my decision? It's my name. That's my life you're putting out there.

[Addison]

Okay, so my social media is everything. It is huge. People are following along, and I've already said your name. Like, it's not like I can take that back. Like, you just have to deal with it.

[Zemi]

What? What are you really? Seriously? You wouldn't say that to somebody you really liked or cared about, right? I mean, why would you say that?

[Addison]

I mean, I did like you until this conversation. I mean, you telling me what to do with my creative content.

[Zemi]

Like, you know what? I don't. I don't want to do this. Then, you know, I was fine with the videos, but the privacy thing, you know, putting my name out there, if you can't respect that, then I don't know if I want to. I'm out. I don't. And that's a deal breaker, Addison.

[Addison]

Okay, I. I guess I'm just gonna have to post an update.

[Zemi]

What does that mean?

[Addison]

I think my followers are just gonna be really disappointed. They're gonna be super angry that you're a cheater.

[Brooke]

What?

[Jeffrey]

Cheater?

[Zemi]

What.

[Addison]

What are you.

[Zemi]

What are you talking about? I'm not a teaser. What do you mean?

[Addison]

Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do. My next post is just gonna be that I found out you were cheating on me. You a hole, and, oh, I'm gonna use your name.

[Ryder Strong]

That is messed up.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Did we make it worse?

[Brooke]

Yes.

[Zemi]

What are you talking about? I mean, what. What.

[Addison]

Is talking right now?

[Jeffrey]

These people are a radio show called Broken Jeffrey in kind of like the.

[Brooke]

OGs of influencers radio, you know?

[Addison]

Wait, was this on the radio? This whole thing?

[Jeffrey]

No. And a podcast it is currently. You're on the show right now on a segment called the Awkward Tuesday Phone Call. Yes. You're a star.

[Addison]

Seriously, Zemi.

[Zemi]

Yeah. Thank God. I did call into the radio because you're gonna set me up. You're gonna say something I didn't do. Call me cheater. Yeah, all because I wouldn't let you use my name in your videos. I mean, this is no different than what you were doing to me.

[Addison]

I'm just like, what is the point of this?

[Brooke]

Point is he was going to ask a rational question, which was just, hey, don't use my name anymore.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, he needed a little help, a little bit of support from us because he felt overwhelmed, because he's not used to that realm that you're in, the whole influencer world.

[Brooke]

We thought it'd be, like, a fun conversation about Scone Boy.

[Addison]

All right, this is not. This is not okay. You absolutely do not have my permission to air this.

[Ryder Strong]

We don't even know your.

[Menelik Lumumba]

Your last.

[Ryder Strong]

Last name.

[Addison]

Like, wait, okay, you can't use my first name.

[Zemi]

Yes, we can.

[Ryder Strong]

Addison.

[Jeffrey]

Didn't you just.

[Addison]

You're gonna destroy my social media presence.

[Brooke]

Absolutely not.

[Zemi]

Can you guys believe this? I mean, you got her. You caught her. Listen to her. She's, like, a hypocrite.

[Brooke]

Yes. An influencer who's fake.

[Jeffrey]

What?

[Brooke]

That sucks, though. Like, you could actually destroy his life by doing stuff like that. You know, people are so cruel online.

[Addison]

I was just kidding. I wasn't gonna.

[Brooke]

She's a prank Instagram.

[Jeffrey]

Yes. She's probably better at those than we are, too.

[Ryder Strong]

Yeah, there's nothing that actually knows she's on the radio and other people are listening.

[Brooke]

Yeah, she got you, Zenny.

[Jeffrey]

That was a deep joke, Addison.

[Ryder Strong]

We gotta take notes.

[Addison]

I mean, it just proves I'm funnier than you guys.

[Brooke]

Wow.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yes.

[Brooke]

That's a low bar to cross.

[Ryder Strong]

Yeah, we knew that before we called you.

[Jeffrey]

All right, so what does. I guess I feel like we need to go back to the whole point that we made this phone call was to ask you in the politest way possible, Addison, if you would consider not using Zemi's actual real name on your Instagram.

[Addison]

Yeah, it doesn't matter anymore. Like, I'm not going to see him. We'll just be friends. No.

[Zemi]

No, I don't need to be friends.

[Addison]

Thanks.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, wow.

[Addison]

I didn't, like, mean that. People just say it.

[Ryder Strong]

Oh, yeah, that's true.

[Zemi]

Okay.

[Brooke]

They say that they never mean it.

[Jeffrey]

So I kind of like her brand of humor. I might go follow her.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Zemi]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

Welcome to the A building. I'm Hans Charles.

[Menelik Lumumba]

I'm Menelik Lumumba. It's 1969 Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr have both been assassinated. And black America was at a breaking point. Writing and protest broke out on an.

[Jeffrey]

Unprecedented scale in Atlanta, Georgia. At Martin's alma mater, Morehouse College, the students had their own protest. It featured two prominent figures in black history, Martin Luther King senior and a young student, Samuel L. Jackson.

[Menelik Lumumba]

To be in what we really thought was a revolution. I mean, people were dying.

[Jeffrey]

1968, the murder of Dr. King, which traumatized everyone. The FBI had a role in the.

[Ryder Strong]

Murder murder of a Black Panther leader in Chicago.

[Narrator (Betrayal Podcast)]

In the middle of the night, Saskia awoke in a haze. Her husband Mike was on his laptop. What was on his screen would change Saskia's life forever.

[Brooke]

I said, I need you to tell me exactly what you're doing. And immediately the mask came off.

[Addison]

You're supposed to be safe. That's your home. That's your husband.

[Brooke]

To keep this secret for so many years. He's like a seasoned pro.

[Narrator (Betrayal Podcast)]

This is a story about the end of a marriage, but it's also the story of one woman who was done living in the dark.

[Brooke]

You're a dangerous person who preys on.

[Ryder Strong]

Vulnerable and trusting people.

[Zemi]

You're a predator. Michael Levengood.

[Jeffrey]

You know, we don't Normally announce segment MVPs on this show, and that's for good reason, because they award them all to me when I'm off the air. So all the MVPs are taken. And that's why we're pivoting to our MVB of the Awkward Tuesday most valuable Blonde. Today's MVB goes to Alexis for her comment. Who would have thought social media influencers could be fake?

[Brooke]

Yeah. Thank you.

[Ryder Strong]

That was really nice.

[Jeffrey]

So good. Good word. So shock.

[Ryder Strong]

But you know what?

[Jeffrey]

At least the Kardashians are still real.

[Brooke]

Obviously.

[Jeffrey]

Thank God.

[Brooke]

Yes. And everything about them.

[Menelik Lumumba]

Absolutely.
