Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Setting the Stage: Michael's Dilemma

• Michael shares his history with April

  • Michael and April dated for about five-six months several years ago.
  • Their breakup was mutual—they lacked chemistry and broke things off during an odd moment, stranded together in a tunnel while awaiting a tow truck.
    (06:03 – 07:24)

    “We didn’t really mesh well. Our conversations were pretty dull or just disconnected… We broke down in this tunnel and just had a conversation, was sort of just blunt, and we decided to not be together.” – Michael (06:03)

• Ongoing friendship post-breakup

  • Michael and April are now close friends; he supports her through her ongoing dating woes.
  • Michael is happy in the “friend zone” and often encourages April not to give up hope in dating. (07:47 – 08:20)

    “I would say I’m kind of her shoulder to cry on now in the dating scene.”
    – Michael (07:54)

• The catalyst: April confides she is attracted to Chris

  • April tells Michael she’s interested in his best friend, Chris.
  • Rather than being upset, Michael thinks they’d be a great match and also wants relief from hearing about April’s dating problems. (08:34 – 09:29)

2. The Awkward Proposal

• Brooke, Jeffrey, and the team’s reactions

  • The hosts debate the seriousness of the "bro code" and if this situation really violates friendship norms.

  • Brooke downplays the drama:

    "Bro code is really not that strong."
    – Brooke (11:43)

  • Jeffrey sees it as a classic violation:

    “Which is a violation of every bro code that’s out there.”
    – Jeffrey (11:36)

• Michael’s real concern

  • Michael isn't worried about his own feelings, but about Chris's likely reservations due to “bro code.”
  • He asks for the team's advice on how to pitch this.

3. "Awkward Tuesday" Advice Segment

(11:36 – 13:44)

• Brooke’s advice: Remind Chris of their close friendship and that his happiness is Michael's top concern.

  “Although the idea may be crazy, you gotta listen to him. Does that make sense?”
  – Brooke (12:28)

• Jeffrey’s advice: Set it up as a favor; get Chris to agree to "just one date" and let the chips fall where they may.

• Comic relief:
  Jeffrey jokes about tossing them into a closet with candles and Barry Manilow, poking fun at the tension.
  (13:27)

4. The Phone Call: The Truth Comes Out

(14:01 – 18:15)

• Michael reaches out to Chris, attempts a subtle pitch

  • Michael awkwardly insists this isn’t weird and that dating April wouldn’t bother him.
  • Chris is initially confused but is flattered that April is attracted to him.

• Surprise twist: Chris confesses he already made out with April during Michael and April’s rocky period (16:42 – 17:03) > “April and I have… we’ve made out before.”
  – Chris (16:47)

  • Michael is blindsided; he didn’t know this happened.
  • Chris says it was brief, they were buzzed, and Michael had expressed he was “kind of done” at the time.

    “I am very sorry. That is not who I am.”
    – Chris (18:15)

5. Show Hosts Intervene

(17:05 – 19:01)

• Brooke, Jeffrey, and the team jump in, processing the double awkwardness with humor and support.

  • Brooke: “Bro code. It never exists. No, it’s a fake line.” (17:47)
  • The hosts wonder aloud why April never mentioned this makeout to Michael herself—they jokingly conclude she’s just better at keeping secrets than Chris.

• Michael is more upset at Chris than at April, but Chris expresses deep regret and emphasizes how insignificant it was to him.

6. The Resolution: Forgiveness and a Deal

(19:08 – 20:22)

• Despite the shock, Michael asks Chris for a favor: go on one real date with April as a form of atonement.

• Chris reluctantly agrees—mainly to maintain friendship and make up for the past indiscretion.

  “If I do that and we’re still good, it would be the only reason that I’m doing it.”
  – Chris (19:50) “I forgive you. Yes. Just go on that date.”
  – Michael (19:59)

• The team celebrates the (somewhat questionable) happy ending and jokes about “best friends and relationships saved today.”

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

But no question. Well, what. Okay, 40 grand then.

[Brooke]

God, I hope we're going to have a whole tax discussion.

[Jeffrey]

[Michael]

I can.

[Brooke]

We're going to do both. Sounds like you got another issue.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. What's your drama about?

[Michael]

Yeah, I reached out because I've had this awkward. Have an awkward situation with my ex, April.

[Announcer]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Just. Even when you say her name.

[Jeffrey]

April.

[Michael]

Yeah. I mean, she's lovely, but I'll give you the whole story. We haven't been together for a few years.

[Brooke]

Oh, it's been a while.

[Michael]

Yeah, it's been quite a while. It was like five to six months that we actually dated. The thing is, it was. It was good overall. I mean, I was attracted to her. Just. We just didn't really mesh well. Our conversations were pretty dull or just disconnected. Okay.

[Brooke]

You guys just weren't the right fit.

[Michael]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then, like, towards the end of that time together, I just started. I mean, it was, like, subconsciously started listening to a lot of breakup songs. Then I started having dreams of breaking up with her. And when I'd wake up, I'd feel really positive and better about everything.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, man, that's a sign. Like, the universe is trying to tell you that something's wrong with your relationship.

[Medical Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Important to the story.

[Michael]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

What else?

[Michael]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Let's spend five more minutes saying what you didn't like about it.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Michael]

Nothing really was. Other than just us not meshing well. We didn't cheat. There was no like. Like, we didn't argue anything like that, but we did. Like, the breakup came really weird and sudden, but, like, in a kind of like, as you said, like the universe telling us we broke down in. In this tunnel and we just were, like, stuck together waiting for a tow truck, and we just had a conversation, was sort of just blunt, and we decided to not be together. Okay.

[Jeffrey]

You broke up in a car stuck inside of a tunnel?

[Michael]

Yes.

[Brooke]

Well, sad time to kill. Yeah. Right. Let's pull the bandaid off here.

[Michael]

O.

[Brooke]

Can you imagine being that tow truck driver when he pulls up yeah, so

[Jeffrey]

you said that happened, you know, years ago. How does the drama happen today?

[Michael]

Well, we've remained friends because as friends, we work really well.

[Brooke]

That's awesome. That seems healthy and great.

[Michael]

Yeah. Overall. Yeah. Yeah. I'm sort of like. I would say I'm kind of her shoulder to cry on now in the dating scene.

[Jeffrey]

You know, you're the only guy who's ever happy with being in the friend zone now. Yeah.

[Brooke]

Yeah, it's good because you both want that.

[Michael]

Yeah. Right? Well, yeah, it's a good friend zone, but, you know, I just try to pep her up. I. A lot of times she'll go into that space where she's like, oh, I'm gonna die alone. And I'm just like, no, you're not. Just keep at it. You're great.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Maybe you should change that advice up and agree with her.

[Brooke]

Why do I feel like that's actually what you would do, Jeffrey?

[Jeffrey]

Well, maybe that would motivate her to actually find somebody.

[Brooke]

So where's the awkward part come in? In all this? It all sounds fine.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, that's true.

[Michael]

Yeah. Okay. Just recently we were out drinking at a bar and she to confide to me that she finds my best friend Chris attractive. Oh, boy.

[Jeffrey]

And you find Chris attractive too?

[Brooke]

Yeah. You don't like her anymore? Oh, it's like they're both.

[Medical Advertiser 2]

Yeah.

[Michael]

Okay.

[Brooke]

I don't understand the issue.

[Michael]

I. When she told me this, I actually was quite excited because I think they'd be perfect together.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, wait, what?

[Brooke]

Chris also loves boring. Stalled out.

[Michael]

No, no, I don't think it would be boring. Installed out with this too.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Michael]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Like they would click yes.

[Michael]

I mean, one, I mean, they're way better together.

[Brooke]

Okay, okay.

[Michael]

They mesh really well. And then two. Oh, I would just like to relieve myself of the burden about hearing her dating life anymore.

[Brooke]

Shifted over to Chris, shoulder to cry

[Jeffrey]

and my shoulder's wet. Yeah, but you don't think that that would be weird for you and Chris's relationship to have your ex dating him now?

[Brooke]

Well, they all know each other, right?

[Michael]

They all.

[Jeffrey]

But that's. I mean, that's so awkward.

[Brooke]

Even if you do claim that you're really just friends, it shouldn't be a big deal that they broke up.

[Michael]

It would not be awkward for me at all.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Michael]

It's Chris that I know. I just know he has a bro code mind and it's going to be awkward for him. And that's the awkward thing is I need advice on talking to him and convincing him to ask her out oh,

[Brooke]

so we're going to call your best friend and try to play matchmaker now.

[Jeffrey]

Let me ask Alexis. You know, from a lady's perspective, if you were the ex girlfriend, how would you feel if your ex boyfriend was, like, pushing his best friend on you?

[Brooke]

Now, you don't want anyone to be pushed to want to date you, but gently nudged.

[Jeffrey]

Whatever you want to say, you wouldn't know.

[Brooke]

She. I wouldn't want her to know. Like, I wouldn't want to find out.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, you'd want it to be kept a secret. Like it was just a natural connection.

[Brooke]

He's just been waiting for me to actually be. You know, he's always wanted to date me.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Secretly, he didn't have to be persuaded. Yeah, like, he's like, finally, we didn't have to offer him a prize at the end of this in order for him to go out with her.

[Jeffrey]

Sure. That could be part of the strategy that maybe we come back with when we give you advice before we do our awkward Tuesday phone call to your best friend and try to convince him to date your ex right after this.

[Michael]

Thank you.

[Jeffrey]

Hold on. It's awkward.

[Michael]

It's Tuesday.

[Jeffrey]

It's awkward Tuesday phone call. We do a segment on our show called say yes to the X. Oh, yeah. Where we try and convince someone to, you know, try things one more time with an old flame of theirs. See if it goes better the second time around.

[Brooke]

Usually works 2% of the time.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, well, this is a little twist on that. It's say yes to your friend's ex because we're trying to help Michael call up his best friend and convince him to try dating Michael's ex girlfriend.

[Brooke]

That's right.

[Michael]

So weird.

[Jeffrey]

Which is a violation of every bro code that's out there.

[Brooke]

Come on. They only dated for, like, five or six months, and that was years ago.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, Most people don't gloss over relationships the way that Brooke does.

[Brooke]

Like, bro code is really not that strong. Yeah, you're being dramatic.

[Jeffrey]

I wouldn't expect any women to understand the value of bro code, but he thinks they would be a great match together. And he's also tired of hearing his ex complain about how she's gonna die alone to him. So there's two reasons for doing this. Now he just needs a little advice on how to convince his best friend to say yes. Brooke. Without hitting on him. What advice?

[Brooke]

Listen, you need to let your best friend know and remember that you're his best friend. You know him better than anyone, okay? You always have his best interest in mind, and that's why, although the idea may be crazy, you gotta listen to him. Does that make sense?

[Jeffrey]

So your advice is just trust him?

[Brooke]

Yeah. Yes. Because it's best friends.

[Jeffrey]

What do you think, Michael?

[Michael]

It's not really the detailed advice that I was hoping to get, but I'm happy to give him a call and tell him that. And remind him, I guess, that we're best friends.

[Jeffrey]

He may have forgotten. This call may remind him of your friendship. Yeah, we are best friends.

[Brooke]

Friends.

[Jeffrey]

I do trust you, Jose. What do you think? There's a lot more to Broco than just don't date. My ex and bros do each other favors. And this is what you need. Get him to agree to one date.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

And then your job is done. Okay. You know, so it's like a win win. You're doing favors for your friends here. Set it up like you're doing him a favor.

[Brooke]

The ex a favor.

[Jeffrey]

It is a favor. He. She said that? What do you think, Mike?

[Michael]

I mean, that sounds like clear advice that I can. You know, a goal in mind.

[Jeffrey]

My advice sucks.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I never liked it.

[Jeffrey]

My advice was just going to be toss him in a closet together with some candles and Barry Manilow and just like, let it happen. Just lock the door.

[Brooke]

See, that's what bro code always gets broken.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, naturally. That's how babies are made. But anyway, that's what we got for you, man. We're going to wish you luck and dial up your friend and try and convince her.

[Brooke]

Friend.

[Jeffrey]

Best friend. Sorry.

[Michael]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Thank you for reminding me. I'd already forgotten. But we're going to try and help you convince him to date your ex. Here we go.

[Michael]

Go.

[Jeffrey]

Good luck.

[Michael]

Hello? Hey, Chris. Michael. What is this number that you're calling from? Oh, I just. New phone, man. Sorry. I just like trying to get my contacts in here and I thought, why not call you check in. Dude, what's up? I was just calling check in. Like, me and April, recently, we went out, we got drinks together, you know, as we do. Nice. It was really a fun time. She's just so delightful and easy to get along with as you, you know. Dude, did you guys hook up again? Nice work. No, no, no, no. We didn't hook up. We're still really good friends and you know, you and me, our best friends. Yeah. I don't understand what you're getting out here. Dude. I'm just saying I. I know you better than anyone else and I know it's good for you hanging out with April. She brought up something that I think was also Good for you. Okay. You know, we're a couple rounds in and she told me that she's. She's attracted to you. She, like, digs you as your best friend. I think that would be great for you and her. Wait, what would be great? She finds me attractive. I don't know what you're like, what? Yeah, she sees something in you, you know, like. Like I do. Like, as a best friend. Why do you keep saying that? I'm just. Just reminding you, bro. I mean, you dated her, so I think that that's like a moot point at this point. Like, it's. It's off limits. But is it? It was years ago. Bro code, smoke code, who cares? Like, I'm just letting you know it would not bother me. And you would be doing me a huge favor by just. How would I be you? Like, how is that doing you a favor? Dude, I. I just want you to be happy. You're my best friend. Best friends look out for each other. I mean, if I can be straight with you about this, like, yeah, that's awesome that she finds me attractive. She's cute. I mean, you're right. She is really cute. Right. So I just gotta level with you. The short version has been there, done that.

[Brooke]

Oh. Oh.

[Jeffrey]

What?

[Michael]

What? What do you mean? April and I have. We've made out before.

[Jeffrey]

What?

[Michael]

Wait, when? I'm not proud of this. This was when you all were on the rocks.

[Announcer]

Awkward.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my God.

[Michael]

Bro code.

[Brooke]

Smoke code. Right, Jeff.

[Michael]

Sorry, what? I mean, I can't believe she cheated on me with you. My best friend.

[Jeffrey]

Best friend. Oh, God.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's some news.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, we need to. We need to jump in on this conversation. Chris, are you there?

[Brooke]

Yeah, hi, Chris.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, we're a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. You're. You're on our show right now on a segment called Awkward Tuesday. Phone call, man.

[Michael]

Whoa. Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Whoa to what you just said.

[Michael]

Oh, my God, Michael.

[Medical Advertiser 2]

Oh, man.

[Brooke]

Oh, God, is he breathing? Michael.

[Michael]

I was just having a hard a moment. But.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, wait, weren't you saying that you're completely over her though, bro?

[Michael]

Well, I'm just more bummed out about my best friend now.

[Brooke]

Alexis, you nailed it. Bro code. It never exists. No, it's a fake line.

[Michael]

Okay, seriously, I gotta be honest with you. It was like a very brief make out session. We were both buzzed. You at that point also had said to me like, you were kind of done with the situation. So that was another factor. Like, I am very sorry. That is not who I am.

[Jeffrey]

Well, that's hard to come back from.

[Brooke]

Sounds like, though. It sounds like Chris has a lot of guilt about it and knows he made a dumb decision.

[Michael]

100%. The reason I didn't even mention it before is because it was so inconsequential. I cannot emphasize. Like I said, it was nothing and it was stupid.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, clearly it wasn't stupid and nothing for your ex girlfriend because she's still interested in thinking about Chris. I'm sorry, I'm just wondering why, after three Long island iced teas, why wouldn't the girlfriend, like, admit to you, Michael, that she's already kissed him before at that point?

[Brooke]

Obviously, she's better at secrets than Chris is.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yeah. Well, I guess she would have to admit that she cheated on him at that point, so. Okay, that makes more sense.

[Brooke]

She wants to be friends, you know,

[Jeffrey]

she wants to go out with. Good kiss Chris. Oh, my God. How you doing?

[Michael]

I'm doing all right. I mean, I want to. I want to forgive my best friend, but I need a favor from you.

[Brooke]

But you're still going to ask.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, no way.

[Brooke]

What is it?

[Michael]

What is the favor? Chris, can you just. Can you just agree to take her on one date?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, you still want this to happen?

[Michael]

Whoa, whoa, wait. I'm so confused. So you still want me to take her on a date? It's the least you could do. I mean, you cheated. She cheated, you cheated. Both cheated on me with. With each other. Just go on one day.

[Jeffrey]

You've already kind of done it. I mean, kiss it. Do it under, like, the proper terms.

[Brooke]

If you end up together, it makes it better. Cancels out.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, that's what a best friend would do.

[Michael]

Dude, if I do that and we're still good, it would be the only reason that I'm doing it.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, Michael, he said that he would do it for your forgiveness. Do you forgive him?

How whiny is this woman about her dating life?

IHeartradio being there for those we love can be so hard for people with chronic migraine 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more Botox Unabotulinum Toxinae prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine. It's not for those with 14 or fewer headache days a month. It Prevents on average 8 to 9 headache days a month versus 6 to 7 for placebo. Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor. Botox effects may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms.

[Jeffrey]

[Brooke]

What if you had already made out with them? Yeah, exactly.

by the time I hit my 50s, I'd learned a few things, like how family is precious, work can always wait, and 99% of people over 50 already have the virus that causes shingles. Not everyone at risk will develop it. But I did. The painful blistering rash disrupted my life for weeks. Don't learn about your shingles. Risk the hard way. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist today.
