[Dana]

Geico's motorcycle expertise means I'm covered by people who know bikes like I do. I'm happy as a clam.

[Alice]

No conclusive scientific research has shown clams can experience happiness.

[Dana]

It just meant that I feel really good about my coverage.

[Alice]

I mean, even if you took the clam out for the best day ever, visiting the zoo, taking a scenic ride, knowing you're insured by specialists, and sharing a strawberry ice cream cone together, the clam would not feel happy and your strawberry cone would taste sort of clammy. Geico's motorcycle specialists who know bikes like you do, assume no liability for clammy ice cream cones. Geico expertise for your motorcycle.

Your body, your sanity, your bathroom alone time.

[Dana]

[Brooke]

It's Tuesday.

[Jeffrey]

It's Awkward Tuesday phone call. Imagine you accidentally run into somebody from your past, but not a good somebody like your old second grade teacher or your cool babysitter who taught you how to delete your browser history before mom.

[Brooke]

And dad got shout out. I mean, that is helpful information.

[Jeffrey]

No, this is a person who you don't want to run into again. You really don't got. And that actually happened to one of our listeners, Dana, who afterwards has emailed us for help because she does not know how to continue cleaning the grocery.

[Brooke]

Store in your hometown. Because that's where it's the worst.

[Jeffrey]

Let's find out.

[Brooke]

You can get away there. This sounds like something where she's not able to get away.

[Jeffrey]

Dana, welcome to the show.

[Dana]

Hi. Thanks for having me. I really appreciate it.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God. I'm having anxiety for you. Just the thought. I could think of two people that I do not ever want to run into the rest of my life.

[Jeffrey]

I've never seen Alexis smile this big because she knows drama is coming, so she's excited. Tell us what's going on. What made you email us?

[Dana]

Oh, my. I don't even know where to start. But just to Give you like a. I just recently moved my family into a new neighborhood, so we're fresh there.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, that's exciting.

[Dana]

Yeah, yeah, it is. But it's also, like, stressful because my daughter's already having to switch schools.

[Brooke]

Oh, for sure.

[Dana]

She's nervous about making new friends.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brooke]

But just reminder that the new kid is always cool in the beginning.

[Jeffrey]

And also remind her, the friends that you make when you're young, they really don't last very long. You're eventually going to lose them all by adulthood. It's fine. I know one or, I don't know, maybe deliver that a nicer way to her.

[Brooke]

But okay.

[Dana]

Yeah. So on her first day of school, she's like, mommy, I made a new friend. And I'm like, awesome.

[Jeffrey]

Wow.

[Brooke]

Day one, great news.

[Dana]

Thank God.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Dana]

So we went ahead and arranged a play date over at her new friend's house.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Dana]

And afterwards I go to pick her up and, you know, I go inside and I'm walking the entryway and I'm like, they had Legos displayed on there.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's cool.

[Jeffrey]

Like full built Lego sets on there.

[Dana]

Yeah. And I'm looking at the Legos and I recognize them. They're the same ones that my ex had on display nine years ago.

[Jeffrey]

Whoa.

[Dana]

Exact same. It was like a set. I knew that they were his because I've seen the exact set before on display at his apartment.

[Brooke]

Are you saying you're at your ex's house right now?

[Dana]

Then that's what I think it is. Because I'm looking around and I see a photo of him.

[Brooke]

It really was him.

[Dana]

Yep, it's him. And I'm like, you've got to be kidding me. My daughter's new best friend is the child of my ex.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, what a small world. Brooke's dreams have just come true.

[Brooke]

That would be terrible. I mean, especially, like most exes you're cool with, but there's always the one that you just don't ever want to see again. And it sounds like that's the person for you.

[Dana]

Yep. And you're right. It is the worst thing ever because it didn't end well with us.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, no.

[Brooke]

So wait, is he there when you pick her up? Do you see him?

[Dana]

No. Luckily, he was at work that day and I've only interacted with the mother.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my God.

[Brooke]

Do you bring it up to the mom? Like, I mean, you have to, because isn't it gonna be even more awkward if you're like, you think it's less.

[Jeffrey]

Awkward to be like, oh, hey, nice to meet you. Our daughters are now friends, by the way. Me and your husband used to be a thing.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I don't have an answer. It's just all of that is, like, my worst nightmare.

[Jeffrey]

You walk up to her and go, oh, he downgr and then walk away. That would be savage.

[Dana]

I mean, that's why I'm calling you guys. I'm, like, conflicted, because my daughter's been asking me, like, mommy, mommy, let's go over there. And I'm like, what do I do?

[Brooke]

Oh, dang.

[Dana]

And now it's the worst scenario possible if this couldn't get any worse. Her friend is having a birthday party.

[Brooke]

Oh. Over at the house. And, you know, the dad will definitely be at the birthday party because it's, like, you could avoid him the other way.

[Dana]

And, you know, it says, like, happy hour, mingle hour for the adults. Like, they have a theme for adults to be there to have a good time too.

[Jeffrey]

Just drop her off.

[Brooke]

I mean, at least we throw a fun party. If this guy. If this ex was in love with you, do you think he has any idea that you're the mom of his daughter's new friend?

[Dana]

I doubt it.

[Brooke]

Like, if you look alike at all or, like, resemble. Or just his name. Right. The name. Or, like, I mean, honestly, if people are still in love with their exes, they stalk them on social media.

[Jeffrey]

Is that what you did?

[Brooke]

No, I'm not in love with exes.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I did that.

[Jeffrey]

She was just curious what they were doing.

[Brooke]

I mean, I've done it before. Yeah, not currently.

[Dana]

So I'm in a dilemma now because the birthday's coming up in a few days, and I need to have a conversation with the wife.

[Brooke]

Okay. I think that's the right thing to do.

[Jeffrey]

If I was you, I would move to another neighborhood and try again. How many exes can you have?

[Brooke]

Yeah. Did you unpack your boxes?

[Dana]

My daughter, she loves this new friend. So I really, like, need some help and advise on, like, what I'm gonna tell the wife and how it's gonna go.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God.

[Jeffrey]

So that's gonna be our job. Come up with some advice to give you. Alexis is smiling again.

[Brooke]

This is so awkward.

[Jeffrey]

Juicy, we're gonna figure out how you can talk to your ex's wife and just let her know that the two of you used to date, and now your kids are best friends, and you.

[Brooke]

Should be friends too.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yeah. That's too much.

[Brooke]

Totally. So maybe I have to talk about Maybe everyone will be an adult about this.

[Dana]

I'm so nervous.

[Jeffrey]

Of course you want adult stuff to happen, Brooke. Anyway, let's try and do your awkward Tuesday phone call right after this. It's awkward.

[Dana]

It's Tuesday.

[Jeffrey]

It's awkward Tuesday phone call. As a parent, you want your child to make new friends.

[Brooke]

Yes, of course.

[Jeffrey]

But worst case scenario is if you find out their new friend is the daughter of your old example boyfriend. Oh, man.

[Brooke]

The one ex you didn't want to see every.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Not the one you want to get back with.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, like the bad one. Thank you for clarifying, because that's exactly what happened to our listener, Dana. And now the clock is ticking because there's a birthday party coming up where all of the adults and the parents are supposed to hang out and mingle with each other. And Dana is absolutely terrified of what to do.

[Brooke]

Yeah, because she hasn't even seen the ex yet. She's only interacted with the mom of the girl.

[Jeffrey]

We don't know if he knows.

[Brooke]

And a birthday party means that he's going to be there.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, that is a good question, Dana. Like, what is the percentage that your ex knows this is already going on?

[Dana]

Honestly, I don't know. But if I had to guess, maybe 50%.

[Brooke]

50.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, 50.

[Dana]

50.

[Brooke]

50, 50.

[Jeffrey]

Those aren't good odds.

[Dana]

Gosh.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well, Brooke, she needs some advice before we call this other mom and basically lay it all out there for her. What do you think Dana needs to keep in mind?

[Brooke]

Okay, this is the thing. You have to be so casual. You cannot act like it's a big deal.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, so casual. Don't even wear pants for this conversation. Keep it laid back and chill.

[Brooke]

I'm saying, when you talk to her, you need to be like, oh, my God, so funny. I just realized I know your husband. What? A small, unbothered. Unbothered.

[Jeffrey]

Like, what do you think of that, Dana?

[Brooke]

No big deal.

[Dana]

Don't know if I could do that because I feel like I'll be lying and acting.

[Brooke]

Yeah, that's what I want you to do.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, let's give it a try. Give us your best nonchalant. Like, oh, weird. Me and your husband used to date.

[Dana]

Oh, what a small world.

[Jeffrey]

I believe it.

[Brooke]

Flirting.

[Dana]

Me and your husband used to date. Fun fact of the day.

[Brooke]

No, no, no, no.

[Jeffrey]

You sound a little bit excited about it.

[Brooke]

More like silly, funny coincidence story, not fun fact.

[Dana]

What a coinky dinky.

[Brooke]

Okay, maybe call it a feisty.

[Jeffrey]

We'll just take a little bit of nugget. A little nugget. From that and try and sprinkle.

[Brooke]

Good. And now I'm more stressed out anyway.

[Jeffrey]

Just do you. I think just be you and you're going to be good.

[Dana]

Oh, well, thank you.

[Brooke]

She could have done that without us, Jeff.

[Jeffrey]

Well, that was her fault for calling in. Stop recording. Just tell us how this goes later. So here we go. I'm going to dial the other mom and let you talk to her so you can let her know that you used to date her husband.

[Dana]

Oh, my. Well, pray for me. I'll pray for me.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, we will. As I'm dialing the number now. Good luck. Just busted a rosary out. We'll jump in if we feel like you need help.

[Alice]

Hello?

[Dana]

Oh, hi. Is this Alice?

[Alice]

Yes, it is. Who's this?

[Dana]

It's Delilah's mom, Dana.

[Alice]

Oh, hi. How are you?

[Dana]

Oh, I'm good. You know, just getting some things done around the house. How are you?

[Alice]

I'm good. I can't complain. Just getting ready for this. We have in a few days and I'm definitely not prepared.

[Dana]

Oh, my gosh. I know how that goes. Well, bless your heart.

[Alice]

What can I do for you? Is everything okay?

[Dana]

Yeah. So this is okay. Sorry, I'm trying. I wanted to call you and discuss something with you.

[Alice]

I had a few parents call about food allergies. Is that what this is about?

[Dana]

Oh, no, no. Thank God. She doesn't have any food allergies. But I'm calling you because I. This is kind like an awkward thing, so I don't know how to sugarcoat this, but it involved your husband.

[Alice]

Oh, my husband.

[Dana]

Yeah. So please, like, don't worry. He's not, like, cheating on you or anything. But I don't know if you know this or if he's told you, but the other day, you know, picking up Delilah and I realized after going to your house that I actually know your husband. And we used to date.

[Alice]

Yeah. And.

[Dana]

You don't seem surprised by this.

[Alice]

I mean, shoot, he's not looking to date now, if that's what you're wondering. We're married, so.

[Dana]

Okay, hold on, hold on. I'm married, too, so, you know, I don't know how much he's told you. We kind of had, like, a weird breakup, so I'm just feeling a little uncomfortable.

[Alice]

Do you feel this way because you still have feelings for him more? I'm genuinely confused.

[Dana]

No, no, no, no.

[Alice]

Or anyone would be uncomfortable. Like, I mean, he's told me all about you.

[Dana]

Okay, so you know he told you about this?

[Alice]

Yeah, he said it was A really. It was a really hard breakup. And when you got dumped, he didn't want to hurt you. Yeah, exactly. So, I mean, I understand. I'm a woman first. I totally get it.

[Dana]

No, he. First of all, I didn't get dumped. I dumped him.

[Alice]

Well, listen, honey, everybody gets dumped. It's okay. It's no need to be embarrassed. It's nothing to be embarrassed about.

[Dana]

Okay. What?

[Alice]

I mean, I haven't, but I can imagine the pain of getting dumped.

[Dana]

Wow. No. No, no, no, no. That's not what happened. Yeah.

[Alice]

And I know denial comes with it, and. No, you have nothing to worry about. Our daughters, they like each other. We can kind of leave it at that.

[Dana]

You need to understand, I dumped him. And, like, he was just awkward and resentful after that. And, like, this is not cool.

[Alice]

Okay, do you, like, see a therapist at all, or have you ever considered that? Because if not, like, you definitely. You definitely should.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my God.

[Dana]

Okay. Wow. Wait.

[Alice]

What is all this?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, that's the sound of an entire morning show being on this phone call with you because you're on the radio right now. Alex.

[Brooke]

Hey, Alice.

[Alice]

Oh, my God.

[Jeffrey]

We're Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. We're trying to help out Dana with this awkward conversation that she was trying to have with you about your daughters and, oh, my God, the dating history between them.

[Alice]

So she goes on the radio.

[Brooke]

Okay, well, she wanted advice, but that's not the advice we gave her.

[Jeffrey]

We were expecting you to be surprised by the news that Dana had a relationship in the past with your husband.

[Brooke]

Because it was definitely a surprise to Dana.

[Alice]

Oh, yeah, no, we. My husband and I talked already. We know what's going on. Like, she's someone of the past. And I just. I feel like she may still be a little hurt.

[Dana]

I'm not hurt, Alice. I'm just calling you to let you know that we were dating, just in case you didn't know. And then you say I was lying or hiding something from you. He was, like, a complete loser after.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Well. Okay.

[Brooke]

Okay, here's the thing, Dana. It feels like Alice is maybe being a little bit more of the adult here, but he's lying.

[Dana]

They're lying. That's like. That doesn't make me feel comfortable to come over to their house, no matter.

[Brooke]

Who broke up with who. Yeah, you're a married woman. It was nine years ago. You found a husband. You had the kids. You did the dream.

[Jeffrey]

Because couples that lie together stay together. That's the saying.

[Dana]

Okay, so just now that you know Alice can We like move forward from this. What's the.

[Alice]

I mean, we already moved forward. If you are involving the radio and you have all these feelings and. And all these things going on in your mind, I just wanna make sure you're okay. Cause we're definitely okay over here.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. So, Dana, I guess ball's in your court here. Cause it sounds like Alice has known about the past relationship and has no concerns about it.

[Alice]

As long as he doesn't want my husband, I'm good to go.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, does not sound like she does. Dana, can you verbally acknowledge that you are not interested in Alice's husband?

[Dana]

I am not interested in your husband.

[Jeffrey]

Beautiful. So the kids can be friends. Yeah. So when the birthday party happens, are. Are you comfortable now going over there, Dana?

[Dana]

You know, I think for this first birthday party, I'm just going to drop her off and have you guys do. And maybe we can just have a one on one after or something and just go with the flow. I don't want to ruin that. I mean.

[Alice]

No, that's fine. I just want our girls to be able to. To play together and get to know one another. Like that's all that matters.

[Brooke]

Alice seems like the most chill, go with the flow mom ever.

[Jeffrey]

I know.

[Brooke]

Seriously, Dana, I think that maybe we should. Don't say therapy. Yeah, I'm kidding.

[Jeffrey]

I think it's a good chance for you to go over to the house for the birthday party. You can be the better person. Walk in there, write a note and put it under the husband's pillow saying, just to be clear, I broke up with you just so we're straight.

[Dana]

No, I don't want to be petty, but that is a good idea.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, okay. Sticky notes. They're nice and small. He won't see them until he goes to bed.
