Episode: Awkward Tuesday: Private Jet For My Nervous Pet
Date: March 10, 2026
Host: iHeartPodcasts
Episode Overview
In this installment of “Awkward Tuesday Phone Call,” the Brooke and Jeffrey crew take on one of their most outrageous listener requests yet. Lily, a listener preparing to move from Miami to Scottsdale, seeks advice on how to ask a man she just met to fly her (and her imaginary anxious dog!) to Arizona on his private jet. What follows is a hilarious, cringeworthy, and totally on-brand journey to get to the bottom of outrageous favor-asking, private jet pretenders, and fake pets.
Key Discussion Points & Insights
The Favor Request Setup (02:47–04:11)
- The hosts riff on the complexities of Daylight Saving Time, pet peeves, and set the tone with playful banter.
- Alexis introduces the episode’s premise: “One of our listeners has the most important request she's ever asked of anybody. Honestly, probably 99% of people would laugh and just say no.” (03:46)
- Jeffrey guesses kidney, but the actual request is even more unusual.
Lily’s Situation & The “Anxious Dog” Ruse (05:01–08:08)
- Lily reveals she’s moving from Miami to Scottsdale and finds the idea of driving or flying commercial unappealing, citing personal discomfort and (falsely) an anxious dog.
- “I don’t actually have a dog. I actually just wanted to see if that would work, because I think I’m going to use that as a way to get somebody to take me.” – Lily (06:29)
- Alexis clarifies: Lily met a man at a club with a “PJ” (private jet) and wants to convince him to fly her (and stuff) to Arizona.
Hosts' Reaction & Judgement (08:08–10:31)
- The crew is equal parts bewildered and entertained by Lily’s scheme:
- “It’s just such a wild request. Like, I wouldn’t even say yes to driving someone to an airport if I had only met them once.” – Brooke (08:16)
- “We’re obligated to help out our listeners…even if it’s with a total scam. We’re here for the people, including hot, selfish girls too, so let’s not be jealous.” – Alexis (08:24)
- They question Lily’s honesty and motivations, confirming she has limited romantic interest (“maybe if he brings me on the jet”).
Advice on Making The Ask (11:26–13:04)
- Brooke and Jeffrey suggest Lily “lean hard into the sob story about your dog’s anxiety” and play the ‘damsel in distress’ so Scott wants to swoop in.
- The team preps audio dog sound effects—ready for deployment mid-call to make the scenario more believable.
- Notable moment: “Do we have any dog barks right now?” – Jeffrey (12:27) / “That does not fit a Princess!” – Brooke, after hearing the bark (13:09)
The Awkward Call: Lily Tries for the Jet (13:40–18:52)
The Attempt (13:40–14:50)
- Lily rings Scott, who struggles to recall her from the club.
- “You’re the one who left her bathing suit at my house.” – Scott (14:14); Not Lily!
- Lily reminds him of their conversation about dogs.
The Fabrications Collide (15:02–17:03)
- Lily awkwardly introduces “Princess” with help from the soundboard.
- Scott is increasingly confused, but Lily presses on: “So… I know you mentioned you have a private jet…” – Lily (16:51)
- Scott admits, “Wait, you really thought I had a private jet?” (17:13)
Full Exposure (17:14–19:02)
- All truths come out fast: Scott never had a jet; Lily never had a dog; both accuse each other of making things up.
- “You lied about having a dog. That’s worse than lying about having a jet.” – Scott (19:12)
- “No, it’s not, Princess.” – Lily, doubling down with sound effects (19:17)
- Alexis and Brooke acknowledge this is a spectacular fail, with Lily pivoting to accusatory and defensive stances.
Aftermath & Debrief (21:45–22:52)
- “It’s amazing how quickly you can go from ‘I think I might even date him’ to ‘Hang up. He’s dead to me.’” – Alexis (21:45)
- The hosts joke about the absurdity of the call, Lily’s likely solo U-haul trip, and the overuse of dramatic dog sound effects.
- Final takeaway: The lengths people will go for luxury—and a free ride—lead to comic and awkward trainwrecks.

Tone and Takeaways
The tone is classic Brooke and Jeffrey—sarcastic, playful, sometimes incredulous, but always looking for the comedic gold in awkward situations. The episode is high-energy, mocking the absurd expectations people sometimes have in dating (and favor-asking), while exposing what happens when two people “catfish lite” each other with status symbols and emotions.
Listeners walk away entertained, probably a little shocked at the audacity, and reminded that faking dogs and jets rarely leads to jet-setting success—but always delivers hilarity for everyone else.
