Summer's got a different tempo. Everything's a little looser, brighter. One plan turns into another. You hear something, you stay a little longer. Next thing you know, you're somewhere you didn't plan to be. It's those in between moments. That's where the ideas hit. Conversations stretch out. Little memories sneak up on you. Sometimes it's just about what's in your hand. That color. That chill. The new Tropical Butterfly Refresher from Starbucks. Guava and Passion Fruit flavors with Mango Pineapple Flavored pearls.

Brooke
All right, we got a brand new awkward Tuesday for you today. Thanks so much for finding the Brooke and Jeffrey Second Date podcast and it is a spicy one. Don't you think? Would that be a good description of it?
Julie
Oh, yeah.
Brooke
God. This woman called in for our advice and then did not listen to it. No.
Jeffrey
She thought she had her own better advice.
Brooke
Yeah.
Narrator/Advertiser
There's one thing to know.
Brooke
There's one thing to do the exact opposite. Oh, my God.
Jeffrey
Oh.
Brooke
It goes sideways for event. You'll hear it in just a second. But first, we'll start with comments. Yeah. Last week, if you remember, the Awkward Thursday was about like a 30 day girlfriend trial. Yeah. Where he wanted to skip all of the dating and just be in a relationship for 30 days before they're even their first date. Yes. And someone named C commented. My husband and I did a trial relationship on our first time meeting. Long story short, today we're celebrating our daughter's first birthday. I never comment, but I thought I'd share. That's crazy.
Jeffrey
To counteract, I did do this same thing once, and it was the worst relationship I've been in. It lasted three weeks.
Brooke
You couldn't even do the 30 day.
Host/Co-host
No, we couldn't even get through that.
Brooke
A. C. Way to prove the odds wrong. Congrats to you guys then. Some people win, some people don't. All right, let's get to today's new Awkward Tuesday phone call. Right now.
Host/Co-host
In life, when you go to school or you get a job, sometimes it doesn't take a whole lot to misbehave and get the ax where they kick you out.
Jeffrey
Oh, yeah. Happen to me all the time.
Host/Co-host
But you would think in a second senior home, it should be pretty difficult to get booted. Well, for one granny, that's actually happening.
Jason
Oh.
Host/Co-host
And the circumstances for why are pretty amazing.
Brooke
Oh.
Host/Co-host
In fact, it's so out there. Her granddaughter's reaching out to us for help.
Brooke
I don't own a senior living home. She can't stay anywhere. I have.
Host/Co-host
No, it's not. Brooks, you're gonna hear what happens in a brand new awkward Tuesday phone call next.
Jeffrey
It's awkward.
Brooke
It's Tuesday.
Jeffrey
It's Awkward Tuesday phone call.
Host/Co-host
When you first start dating somebody, they should know a little bit about you.
Brooke
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Host/Co-host
And when you move in with that somebody, they should really know a lot more about you.
Brooke
Well, they're about to find out if they don't. Yeah.
Host/Co-host
Let's say those steps have already happened and you've actively chosen to hide something from that person. Something not great.
Brooke
Oh, goodness.
Host/Co-host
And it's about to blow up pretty soon. That's where our listener Julie is at right now in her relationship. And she is asking for our Help.
Brooke
Oh, Julie.
Host/Co-host
Julie, you want us to stop drama from happening in your life right now?
Julie
Pretty much. That's why I'm calling in Julie.
Brooke
Do you listen to our show? Because we actually really like drama.
Host/Co-host
Yeah, we kind of need it for our show to be good. So this goes against our business model.
Julie
I mean, you guys are probably right. There's no way that I can stop what's gonna happen. I just need a little bit of help managing it all right now.
Host/Co-host
We can manage the drama. Yeah, well, yeah, let's just dive into it. What's going on in your life? What made you reach out to the show for help?
Julie
Okay, so I've been seeing this guy for about six months. His name is Jason. He's very sweet.
Brooke
Wait, that's good. Can I ask? Because Jeff set it up like you live with him after six months. Are you guys living together?
Host/Co-host
That's what your email said.
Julie
Yeah, things moved a little bit fast. We've been living together about a month and a half.
Jason
Dang.
Narrator/Advertiser
Yeah.
Jeffrey
That's a big commitment. You guys sign a whole year lease.
Julie
It's in his name.
Brooke
So, you know, let's ruin his credit if we need to move out.
Commercial Announcer
Okay, great.
Brooke
Sure.
Host/Co-host
So it wasn't something that you moved into a place together. You just jumped onto his spot.
Narrator/Advertiser
Sometimes the timing just works out.
Brooke
Lease is ending and you're like, well, romantic.
Narrator/Advertiser
Yeah, I know.
Brooke
Yeah.
Julie
Yeah, it was romantic and my lease is ending, and so we took it as a sign, you know.
Host/Co-host
Okay, but that's not the dramatic part that's come into your life.
Julie
Yeah. So basically I haven't really told them about my family at all. My family can just be a little bit much.
Host/Co-host
Trust me, I understand.
Brooke
Julia, what are we working with. With your family? Like, why haven't you told them?
Julie
Well, there's a lot of drama, but for now, I'm just gonna focus on one of the singular relatives. Yeah, but I have a grandmother who is a little bit older, and it's getting to a point where basically she just needs more support from me.
Brooke
Okay, that doesn't sound like a bad. Like, that's loving.
Host/Co-host
Yeah.
Brooke
You're going to help your grandma.
Host/Co-host
I'll be honest, when you said family drama, your grandmother was not the person that came to my mind as the dramatic person.
Brooke
I thought you had, like, a terrible mom or something. Like, those are.
Jeffrey
Oh, she's a terrible grandma, Is she? Awful person.
Brooke
Yeah,
Julie
she's not an awful person, but she does whatever she wants to do. And, you know, as she got older, that never really Changed. And she's about 85 years old now. She lives in like a senior living facility.
Brooke
So you don't even have to have her like come live with you or something. That's what I thought this was going.
Julie
Yeah, well, that's kind of the thing is like she's been living there for about six months and now they're, they kind of like want to kick her out.
Jason
Oh.
Jeffrey
She's like getting into fights. What's going on?
Brooke
You can actually get kicked out of those senior facility places.
Host/Co-host
Oh my God.
Brooke
By being a jerk. So she's getting kicked out.
Julie
I think she's getting kicked out today or probably tomorrow.
Jeffrey
No, this is like she's had many warnings.
Host/Co-host
Okay.
Julie
Yeah, she's had many warnings about it.
Host/Co-host
Are we allowed to know the reason why she's being forcefully discharged from her senior living facility?
Brooke
It sounds like reasons.
Jeffrey
Yeah, I can't just plural.
Julie
Yeah, she just makes Arnold Palmer's pretty much every day. And then every night she's inviting guys into her room.
Brooke
Iced tea and lemonade. Is she putting vodka?
Jeffrey
I think she's making them liquored up.
Brooke
Okay.
Julie
Yeah, she's spiking them for sure.
Jeffrey
Spiking them? Yeah.
Brooke
So she's getting drunk during the day and then getting Randy at night.
Julie
Yeah, he's having too much fun for the senior living home. And I just, I, I don't know how my boyfriend's gonna react to this because it's kind of like I have
Jason
to take her in now.
Brooke
You think you have to take her in?
Julie
Yeah, she doesn't really have any other place to go, so I think she has to come live with me and Jason in this apartment. And it's just like, I don't know, it's just really awkward. Like I don't know how he's going to react when I tell him. And we haven't really talked about like all that deep lore that you just try and avoid, you know?
Host/Co-host
And it's really awkward because it's his apartment that she's going to be moving into and they just started living together themselves. Is adding a whole new layer to the relationship.
Brooke
Is there another bedroom? Is she on a pull out couch?
Julie
He might have to get rid of his office.
Jeffrey
Oh my gosh.
Host/Co-host
So much. Or grandma's climbing into the queen size bed with the two of you.
Jeffrey
I also see your struggle because it's not like you can just afford to buy a whole apartment for her.
Host/Co-host
It's like, wow, now I see why you're in such a tough situation.
Brooke
You are paying half the rent right now. Right?
Julie
I will be when grandma moves in. Okay.
Host/Co-host
Okay.
Brooke
Yeah, yeah.
Host/Co-host
That's probably a good thing to offer at the very start of the call when we do this, but we need to think of some advice for how to tell your boyfriend that you have a grandma, first of all, that loves to party.
Brooke
Yes.
Jeffrey
And that's gonna be cool. That's gonna be the good part of the news.
Brooke
It's cute in words. It's not great to live with in action.
Host/Co-host
And, yeah, it's also going to be living with the two of you. That's in the next 24 hours.
Julie
Hopefully.
Brooke
He likes Arnold Palmer's.
Julie
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Okay.
Julie
Yeah, I mean, I think she would definitely make drinks for him. I think that could be a selling point.
Jeffrey
Drinking partner.
Host/Co-host
Yeah. Until she snatches them back out of his hands and drinks them herself. But.
Brooke
Or tries to hit on your boyfriend.
Julie
Oh, my God. I didn't even think of that.
Brooke
Oh.
Host/Co-host
All right. We got a lot of work to do, but when we come back, we will give you our advice and let you call your boyfriend and to introduce him to the new member of the family and his new roommate.
Jeffrey
Oh, boy.
Host/Co-host
Right after this.
Jason
Thank you, guys.
Host/Co-host
Hold on.
Jeffrey
It's awkward.
Brooke
It's Tuesday.
Jeffrey
It's awkward. Tuesday phone call.
Host/Co-host
Someone's getting a brand new roommate, and she's 85 years old and down to clown.
Julie
Yeah.
Narrator/Advertiser
Go Grandma.
Host/Co-host
I don't even know her name. And I kind of wish that she was moving into my place after what we heard.
Brooke
It sounds like a setup for a sitcom right now, honestly, doesn't it?
Host/Co-host
That's how it feels. Because our listener.
Jeffrey
Julie.
Host/Co-host
Julie reached out with quite the conundrum that she's in, because on one hand, she's in a newer relationship where she just moved in with her boyfriend named Jason only about a month ago, and
Brooke
they've only been together for six months. Yeah. So there's a lot of stuff about each other that they do not know.
Jeffrey
Yeah, that's its own thing.
Host/Co-host
All that's new. And then, on the other hand, Jason doesn't even know that Julie has this wild grandma and that she's gonna be living with them as soon as she gets kicked out of her retirement home in the next 24 hours?
Brooke
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Jeffrey
That's happening within a day, by the way.
Host/Co-host
So how does she deliver all that information in a way that her boyfriend will be receptive to?
Julie
Brooke.
Brooke
Yeah.
Host/Co-host
You're up.
Brooke
Yeah. No, I think I have this for you, Julie. Honestly, I think I've got this because anybody can stomach A guest for a week. That's how you pitch it. You pitch it. And Rama needs a place to stay for a week. Which is true. Yeah, which is true. Okay.
Host/Co-host
You just don't say how many weeks it's going to add up to. What do you think about that? That's an interesting way to frame it.
Julie
It sounds crazy enough that it just might work.
Brooke
Yeah. And then, you know, when the week ends, you're just like, oh, shoot, she's got to say one more week. And then you just keep doing that in perpetuity until.
Jeffrey
And legally, if she stays for 30 days, she's a squatter and then can't be kicked out.
Jason
See?
Brooke
Even better. Yeah, blame grandma.
Host/Co-host
All right.
Julie
Similar to how I moved in.
Jason
So perfect.
Host/Co-host
Just use that same thing. Jose, what about you? What's your advice?
Jeffrey
I think got to play on his emotions, stretch the truth a little bit. Maybe tell him she may not have a lot of time left, just in general.
Brooke
Oh, that's a risky one, too.
Jeffrey
Kind of true. She's 85.
Brooke
She sounds like she's in great health. She's drinking.
Jeffrey
She does.
Brooke
Having fun at night.
Host/Co-host
I wouldn't bring up the alcohol until after she's passed out on the couch one morning.
Jeffrey
Oh, yeah?
Julie
Yeah.
Host/Co-host
Then that'd be a natural way to talk about it. But I don't know. What do you think about that advice?
Julie
I don't know. I'm a little superstitious, so I don't really want to summon the reaper on this one.
Narrator/Advertiser
Family card always risks a karma.
Host/Co-host
Or you're going to curse yourself and she'll be around for another 50 years.
Julie
But, yeah, I think I'm going to take Brooke's advice, and I have an angle of my own that I'm going to use.
Host/Co-host
Oh, really?
Julie
It's going to be a surprise, but it's still going to be pretty smooth, too. I don't think he's going to say no.
Host/Co-host
Okay, I'm a little bit skeptical because nobody offers better advice than this group,
Jeffrey
but actually, it's probably. Probably better than what we said.
Brooke
Jeff is never sarcastic.
Host/Co-host
No, not at all. But it's your phone call. You could do it how you want to. So we'll be on your side no matter what. I'm going to dial your boyfriend's number and we'll let you make this awkward call. Okay.
Julie
All right.
Jason
Thank you.
Host/Co-host
Good luck. Here we go.
Jason
Hello?
Julie
Hey, babe, it's me.
Jason
Hey, babe. How's it going?
Julie
It's good. It's good. How are you doing?
Jason
I'm Doing good. Are you calling from work or something?
Julie
Something like that. I'm kind of busy right now, but I just wanted to give you a call because I was thinking of you.
Jason
Very cool. I'm just chilling. Can't wait for this weekend. Oh, my God, I'm so excited.
Julie
Yeah, this weekend is gonna be awesome. But I have some news for you, and I'm not sure how you're gonna handle it.
Jason
What are you talking about?
Julie
Okay, so I don't know how you're gonna take this, but I'm just gonna get straight to the point. When's the last time that you changed a diaper?
Brooke
What?
Jason
What? A diaper. What are you talking about?
Julie
I mean, okay, let's say hypothetically, we had a third person enter our apartment life, and they were gonna be there for a very long time. That could be very exciting, right?
Jason
Are you saying what I think you're saying?
Julie
I'm basically saying a big change is about to happen and it's coming in the next 24 hours.
Jeffrey
24 hours?
Narrator/Advertiser
Wait a minute.
Jason
Wait a minute. 24 hours. Did you, like, get pregnant like a year ago? Like, what are you talking about?
Julie
No, I did not get pregnant. Okay? I should have just come straight out with it earlier, but I have a grandma.
Jason
What? I've never been more confused in my life.
Julie
Yeah, basically, I have a grandma, and she's at an assisted living facility and she's about to get kicked out because she likes to drink and. Rick roll people.
Jason
Whoa. That. What are you. I didn't even know you had a grandma. But she's like. She's getting kicked out of her retirement home.
Julie
Yeah, listen. Apparently one of the attendants caught her multiple times. She had several men, older ones, younger ones, it didn't matter. They all came into her room. And security and the nurse staff, everybody, they've just reached a point where they're absolutely fed up and they just don't want her anymore.
Jason
Wow, that is crazy. I'm sorry to hear that. But why were you saying she's, like, coming to our house? Like, what do you mean?
Julie
Basically, I'm hoping that you'll let her sleep in your bed.
Jason
What? Dude, I'm not hooking up with your grandma. This is really thing weird.
Julie
Oh, my God. No, that's not what I'm saying. Come on.
Host/Co-host
Oh, my God. We can't let this go on any farther.
Brooke
Never deliver news ever again. Just ever.
Host/Co-host
Julie, your delivery. Oh, my God.
Julie
I meant that. Me and you, Jason, we can sleep on the couch so that she has a place to get over her hangover. Okay.
Brooke
What? That is not better.
Jason
Julie, I didn't hear anything you just said. I just heard a bunch of. Of voices laughing like there's people on this line. What's going on?
Host/Co-host
Yeah, yeah. These people are part of a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Brooke
And honestly, we should have stopped Julie from talking probably three minutes ago.
Julie
Yeah. Jason, I'm sorry. I just. I really didn't know how to tell you, and I just figured this was the only way. Like, I just needed help. So say that.
Brooke
That is not the help we offered, Jason.
Host/Co-host
No, we didn't mention anything about diaper changing at all.
Jason
This is like a prank, right? You're joking.
Julie
No, Jason, I'm just kidding about having a baby. But my grandma's gonna move in. She actually means the world to me. She's really, really sweet. And I'm wondering, maybe we could just have her come in for a week.
Brooke
Oh, now you're gonna do it. She got there.
Host/Co-host
Nice. Yeah.
Brooke
Grandma needs to live with you, Jason.
Jason
I'm still, like, getting over the fact I thought we were having a baby and.
Brooke
Yeah, so this is much better news than the baby.
Julie
Yeah, actually, I have a feeling that Grandma Judy is going to be a lot more work than a baby.
Brooke
But don't say that.
Jeffrey
Focus on that. She likes to make drinks and maybe she'll cook once in a while.
Julie
Yeah, Yeah. I mean, there is the chance that she could, you know, make us drinks and cook and, you know, she could hang out with your dog while you're at work.
Host/Co-host
Oh, okay. There's some positives.
Jeffrey
Now we're talking.
Julie
But you need to know that at the assisted living facility, they do not let her cook. They do not let her near hot objects or sharp objects.
Host/Co-host
She's a liability. All right, I don't know if you're selling it very well, but
Brooke
Jason fainted. Are you on the phone?
Jeffrey
Yeah, bro.
Commercial Announcer
Are you okay?
Jason
Jason, I had no idea she had a grandmother until, like, two minutes ago.
Brooke
That's why it's always risky to move in with a new girlfriend right away. You don't know yet.
Host/Co-host
Still, at least she's a fun grandma.
Jason
Yeah, I guess. Like, she could stay for like, 48 hours, but we should probably be looking for other places, like, right away.
Host/Co-host
Yeah, yeah, apartments that don't have any stoves or hot objects, plug ins, anything around.
Jeffrey
Maybe 48 hour leases.
Brooke
Yeah, just get her in that for that 48 hours. We'll see when she leaves the squatter laws.
Jason
Play it by ear from there, Jason.
Julie
Thank you so much. You seriously are so sweet for letting her say. I'm like, I'm seriously so grateful.
Jeffrey
Oh, that's cute.
Brooke
Look at that. And Julie did tell us that she'd pitch in for half the rent now that Grandma's moving in.
Julie
Oh, yeah. Oh, I was hoping you guys would forget.
Brooke
Come on, it's much cheaper than that nursing home. So.
Julie
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

Jason
Yeah.
Brooke
I actually feel like what's going to end up happening is he's going to end up having to move out. Oh. Get booted from his own place. Oh, no, I can see it.
Host/Co-host
Maybe. I mean, you think she was wild at the senior center? There's no rules. Now that she's out in the wild, who knows what's going to go down?

But also not as much access to other older gentlemen.

True.

Podcast by iHeartPodcasts
In this hilarious and chaotic "Awkward Tuesday" episode, listener Julie reaches out to Brooke, Jeffrey, and the team for advice on how to break some wild news to her boyfriend, Jason: Julie’s 85-year-old grandmother, known for her raucous partying, is about to get kicked out of her senior living facility—and needs a new place to stay. The hosts help Julie navigate the looming conversation, but as expected, things immediately go off-script, leading to one of the most entertaining (and cringe-worthy) awkward phone calls the show's ever seen.

Quotes:
“I have a grandma, and she’s at an assisted living facility and she’s about to get kicked out because she likes to drink and… Rick roll people.” — Julie [15:54]
“I didn't even know you had a grandma! But she's… getting kicked out of her retirement home?” — Jason [16:07]
“I’m not hooking up with your grandma. This is really weird.” — Jason [16:53]
“Oh my God. We can’t let this go any farther… Never deliver news ever again, just ever.” — Brooke [17:07]
[21:04–21:55]
The entire episode maintains a playful, irreverent, and genuinely LOL tone, with the hosts riffing off each other and the callers in a way that’s lively, unscripted, and cheerfully chaotic. Even during Julie’s cringeworthy phone call, the team’s back-and-forth and Jason’s confusion make for classic “Second Date Update” entertainment.
If you love cringe comedy, family drama, and the unpredictability of live intervention calls, this episode brings it all. Julie’s attempt to integrate her “party hard” granny into a brand-new cohabitation situation goes off the rails in spectacular fashion—delivering exactly the kind of high-energy, squirm-worthy entertainment that Brooke and Jeffrey’s "Awkward Tuesday" series promises.
