Listen to WebMD Health discovered on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Drew]

It's Tuesday, which means it's your Awkward Tuesday podcast. Yep, you're on the second date update. I mean, Awkward Tuesday for us is really kind of like second date in that it's relationship oriented, but it could be any relationship.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Drew]

But today we do have a boyfriend and a girlfriend that are having issues.

[Brooke]

We do. Which, you know, it's always good when they call a radio station to talk.

[Drew]

Like, help them communicate. If I was dealing with what this guy was dealing with, I would have lost it a lot sooner than he did. A lot sooner. So you're going to hear that in just a second, but we love to highlight your comments.

[Brooke]

Yes, Libby said, I only listen to you guys in the car, and no, I'm not changing it for anyone.

[Drew]

Do you think she listens to the podcast or the radio in the car? I don't know.

[Brooke]

You know, I read it first as.

[Drew]

Radio and then I'm like, maybe not.

[Brooke]

Maybe not, maybe not.

[Drew]

That's so interesting.

[Brooke]

We are on the radio, just so.

[Drew]

You guys know that as well. All right. Right, let's get into your podcast. It starts right now.

[Jeffrey]

Imagine thinking you just won the lottery, only to find out two months later it was a weird computer glitch and you actually won nothing. No way. That's what it's like getting hired to work in radio.

[Drew]

Yay.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, wait a second.

[Drew]

Oh, come on, Jeff. You love working with us.

[Jeffrey]

Sure. But there is one non radio person who understands the feeling all too well. Because our listener thought his girlfriend was planning the most epic birthday trip for him of all time.

[Drew]

Wow.

[Jeffrey]

Until one text message shattered everything. Oh, no. And now he needs our help. Not to save the trip, but possibly to save his relationship. You're going to hear it in a brand new Awkward Tuesday phone call. Next. It's awkward.

[Brooke]

It's Tuesday.

[Croy]

It's awkward.

[Jeffrey]

Tuesday phone call. Do you like it when a significant other makes a big deal about your birthday? Like, goes through the effort to plan things for you, buys you nice presents, does a big surprise?

[Drew]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, Brooke says she loves it. Unless the surprise is a barbershop quartet.

[Drew]

That was uncomfy. Okay, that was not cool.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. But there are contingencies to the surprise, clearly.

[Drew]

Well, four weird old men standing behind me singing in a radio studio. It's not my idea of a good time.

[Jose]

Yeah, you know, they're weird.

[Jeffrey]

Kind of an inside joke. But if you didn't know, a while ago, Brooke's husband and organized that for her on the show, and she absolutely despised it.

[Drew]

Dude, just making eye contact with people that are singing to you is just too much for me.

[Brooke]

I wish I was here for that.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my God. Anyway, I bring it up because one of our listeners, Croy, is having a birthday soon, and his significant other was making a big deal about it. Emphasis on was. Because it sounds like maybe things have changed. Croy, welcome to the show.

[Croy]

Hey, guys. Thanks for having me.

[Drew]

Oh, man, I'm sorry. When's your birthday? It's coming up.

[Croy]

Yeah. Yeah. 30th birthday's coming up in a few.

[Jose]

Weeks, and you're in the doghouse. Like, you're in trouble.

[Drew]

That's literally dirty 30. In, like, a fun way. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so what made you email the show for help about your birthday? Something with you and your girlfriend. What's going on?

[Croy]

Yeah. Yeah. So my. I've been seeing my girlfriend Chrissy for two years now, and months ago, she started making a big deal about how she wants to go over the top for me for my 30th birthday.

[Jose]

That's awesome.

[Brooke]

That's a great girlfriend.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. What does that mean, though?

[Croy]

Well, it means that she got me an early birthday present, which was a really nice watch.

[Drew]

Oh.

[Croy]

And in addition to that, for the actual birthday, she booked us a trip to the Bahamas.

[Drew]

Wow, that's insanity.

[Jeffrey]

You didn't take the watch as, like, kind of an insulting present, though.

[Drew]

Wait, what do you mean? Like, you're running out of time. You're in 30.

[Jeffrey]

Like. Yeah. Never on time for stuff.

[Drew]

On time.

[Jeffrey]

I thought, now you're getting old times running out. You didn't read into it like that?

[Jose]

Symbolic.

[Croy]

No. Maybe if it wasn't as nice a watch as this, but, I mean, I didn't even think about that Rolex.

[Jose]

Are you calling me old?

[Drew]

Wait, are you calling. And there's a. Like, you have an upcoming Bahamas trip, right?

[Croy]

Well, yeah, but I mean, even more than that. It's not just the watch. In the Bahamas trip, she even showed me that she splurged on the hotel room too. Like, we have a super nice view of the ocean. That's amazing. She bought us outfits for the trip to wear when we go out.

[Drew]

So, wait, where does the problem come in?

[Croy]

So the problem comes in that last week she tells me that she had to return my watch.

[Drew]

What?

[Jeffrey]

Wait, what?

[Drew]

Oh.

[Croy]

And I was like, oh, why? I really like this watch. It's really nice. And she said, I know, but maybe we'll get you a different one later.

[Drew]

Uh, oh.

[Croy]

And I was like, what does that mean? And she was like, I don't really want to talk about it.

[Drew]

Oh, bummer. I immediately think maybe she overspent. Yeah. Yeah. You know, like, is. It sounds like she was just going nuts. Like, the hotel room and the trip and the watch, and then she got the credit card bill and she was like, wait a minute, I went too far.

[Jose]

And we could do without the watch, but we'll still do the vacation.

[Drew]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Croy]

Well, my thoughts are worse because after that happened last week, she texted me yesterday saying that she had to cancel the trip.

[Drew]

What?

[Croy]

No.

[Jeffrey]

Now Bahamas are off the table, too?

[Croy]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

What are you thinking?

[Croy]

I. I think she's planning to break up with me.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, really? Come on, stand up for. No, she's not planning to break up with you. You're a good guy.

[Brooke]

Out the breakup, though. Why wouldn't she?

[Drew]

Just because she wants to get the refund first. Maybe she doesn't want to spend the money. I don't know. But I would feel the same. Because why? Why else would you do that?

[Jose]

Yeah, like, why can't you just rebook? You can't do Cleveland instead of, like, the Bahamas.

[Croy]

It.

[Jeffrey]

Sure. Even if it is too expensive, you can find a more affordable.

[Drew]

I think, more than anything. Why? No explanation. Why isn't she telling you? Have you asked her what's going on?

[Croy]

When I kept asking her why, she was like, oh, no, we'll do a different thing. We'll do a different thing later. And she usually brings things up to me if something's on her mind or whatever, but this has been different. And I'm like, I can't think of anything other than she's gonna break up with me, and I don't know why. I have no idea why.

[Drew]

Oh, man, that's tough. Like, I think I'd be pissed. I'm just thinking if my boyfriend gave me these big grandiose things and then Took them away, I'd be like, what the hell? Like, I would probably be the one thinking about dumping them, to be honest.

[Brooke]

Better be taking it back to plan something.

[Drew]

Better take away presents that have already been gifted.

[Jeffrey]

Is that your suggestion to him right now? He should dump her first before she dumps him?

[Drew]

No. No, no, no. Well, maybe depending on what she has.

[Chrissy]

So.

[Croy]

I'm not that shallow. And really, I'm just more concerned about our relationship here.

[Drew]

No, that's good. That's good. You seem like a really good guy.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, aside from taking away all your birthday presents and canceling your birthday trip and then not communicating about her feelings about why. Is there any other red flags in the relationship that we should.

[Croy]

Yeah, none that I can think of.

[Drew]

Okay, that's good.

[Jeffrey]

Well, then we need to help you figure out what the heck is going on with your girlfriend and your birthday plans coming up. There has to be an explanation.

[Croy]

I need her to open up and tell me, because it seems like anything I say, she quickly just closes it down. She doesn't want to talk about it at all anymore.

[Jose]

We could just call a bunch of, like, Chuck E. Cheese's and see if there's any bookings.

[Drew]

You think she could still be planning a surprise?

[Jose]

There's gotta be a surprise from the surprise. I don't know.

[Croy]

It seems like the birthday is, like, far away in her mind, too. Like. Like she's not even planning anything anymore, you know?

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so we have a mission now to find out why after your girlfriend booked a vacation for your 30th birthday and got you an expensive watch, she took it all back with zero explanation.

[Croy]

That's intense.

[Jeffrey]

We'll try to get you some answers in your awkward Tuesday phone call.

[Croy]

Thank you, guys.

[Jeffrey]

Next. It's awkward.

[Drew]

It's Tuesday.

[Jeffrey]

It's awkward Tuesday phone call. What are the subtle red flags from a significant other that show they're attempting to break up with you?

[Drew]

You.

[Jose]

Oh, man.

[Jeffrey]

Maybe if they change your Netflix profile name to just the word guest.

[Drew]

Oh, ouch. Why did that hurt?

[Jeffrey]

That's not a good sign.

[Jose]

Crying in the opening screen.

[Brooke]

You're still on the profile.

[Jose]

You still have access.

[Jeffrey]

Or if you find a PowerPoint presentation on their computer about why you should start seeing other people.

[Jose]

Oh, that is very specific.

[Jeffrey]

It's a red flag, but not saying it's totally over yet.

[Jose]

Whose is this?

[Drew]

Could have helpful information in it.

[Croy]

That's true, too.

[Jeffrey]

And the only things our listener Croy has noticed from his girlfriend are she's returned his birthday gift without asking him Canceled his birthday vacation and hasn't been communicating about why she's doing these things or really wanting to talk to him about it at all. So not great. But that's why he's come to us looking for advice on how to finally get his girlfriend to just be honest and tell him what's going on. Yes, Brooke, Croy needs you right now. And your wisdom. What do you have to say to Croy to help him out?

[Drew]

Listen, I am just like you, Croy. I always go to worst case scenario. Like, I fall down that rabbit hole of this is going to the most terrible thing ever. And I think I was hoping there.

[Jeffrey]

Was some advice on it.

[Brooke]

So that is.

[Drew]

Well, that is the advice. You can only go up from there. You know, like. Like my mom used to tell me before I'd, like, try out for a team or apply for a job. She'd be like, you're not gonna get that. You probably won'.

[Chrissy]

That.

[Announcer]

And then when I did, it was so exciting.

[Brooke]

So maybe assume she's cheating on you, too.

[Jeffrey]

That's good.

[Drew]

Yeah. We're talking Alexis.

[Jeffrey]

You've already hit rock bottom, Croy. That must feel good.

[Croy]

Yeah, I'm not. I can't say I'm rolling with that advice because I didn't even think about her cheating on me, and now I'm kind of spiraling.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, man. Oh, wow.

[Drew]

But you're going to spiral up soon.

[Jeffrey]

There we go.

[Drew]

Better than that.

[Jeffrey]

What do you think, Jose?

[Jose]

I don't know a ton about women. Shocking. Okay, But I'm assuming if you want one to open up to you, you want to give her, like, food and wine, but you're not with her right now. You're not in the same location.

[Drew]

Are you gonna give me the food and wine?

[Jeffrey]

She perked up.

[Jose]

Tell her you love her.

[Drew]

Oh.

[Jose]

And then don't talk. Just see what she says. She may feel guilty and open up. She may double down and say, I love you forever.

[Drew]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. Just toss out and I love you and read the vibe from her reaction. What do you think of that?

[Jose]

Quicker.

[Croy]

That's what I should have said. I can figure out a way to weave that in. Yeah. Yeah.

[Brooke]

Say I love you to your girlfriend of two years.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Drew]

Figure that out.

[Jose]

He's like, what do I say?

[Jeffrey]

It's gonna be a tough one. Somehow I'll figure out a way to drop the L bomb on her. But I think that's actually good advice, Jose.

[Drew]

And when she doesn't say anything back to you or says thank you, it's okay, man.

[Jeffrey]

We're running out of time, though, so we just gotta start dialing your girlfriend Chrissy and see if she answers. Kroy, you've got this, man.

[Croy]

Okay, I'm ready, guys. Let's do it.

[Jeffrey]

All right, man. I'm a dollar number right now. We'll be waiting quietly to jump in if you need help. Here we go.

[Chrissy]

Hello?

[Croy]

Hey, hey, babe, it's me.

[Chrissy]

Babe, where are you calling me from?

[Croy]

I'm just. I'm just calling from another number. Result. I wanted to know if I could talk to you real quick for a second.

[Chrissy]

I'm kind of busy right now. Can we talk anyway when I get home?

[Croy]

Well, you've been busy like the last three days and I've barely seen you or spoken to you at all. I just need two minutes, okay? Just two minutes, please.

[Chrissy]

Okay.

[Croy]

Okay, okay, okay. So here's the deal. I love you.

[Chrissy]

Okay? That's why you called me?

[Croy]

Well, I'm just getting a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach because of the way you've been acting the last month.

[Chrissy]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[Croy]

Okay? You gave me that nice watch and then you gave it back without asking me. Isn't that a little weird?

[Chrissy]

I mean, I'm sorry about that. I don't know what to tell you.

[Croy]

Okay, and then you book us the trip of a lifetime for my birthday and get me excited about it and then text me yesterday saying that you canceled it.

[Chrissy]

I don't know what to say.

[Croy]

Okay? Chrissy, are you about to break up with me?

[Chrissy]

Look, something happened and I don't know how to tell you.

[Croy]

Okay? Okay, well, listen, I'm here for you, okay? I love you. Tell me what's going on, please.

[Chrissy]

Well, you know, the watch I got you was pretty expensive. I mean, maybe you don't know, but it was. Yeah, okay, and the trip I booked was pretty pricey.

[Croy]

Okay, well, I didn't ask you to spend that money. You wanted to spend the money.

[Chrissy]

I know, and I thought I could afford it because I was using Apple Pay.

[Drew]

Oh, no.

[Croy]

Okay.

[Chrissy]

Did you know that's real money? Like, I just thought it was like Apple points I earned by using my iPhone. Like I'm stupid.

[Drew]

Oh, my God. Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my God.

[Drew]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Hi. Hi. Chrissy.

[Drew]

Laughing politely what? Oh, sweet girl.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Chrissy.

[Chrissy]

Hello.

[Drew]

Hi.

[Jeffrey]

It's my job to tell you right now that you're on a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning and we're doing something called the Awkward Tuesday Phone Call.

[Chrissy]

What?

[Croy]

I'm really sorry, Chrissy. I didn't know. I didn't know how else to get you to talk about this. I had to go to the radio to have a radio. That's why I'm calling from a different number, because I didn't know what was going on.

[Chrissy]

Just ask me at home.

[Drew]

No, no, it's okay. It's okay. I mean, that's way better than what he thought. Yeah, he said. No, it's not. Just like I said, Jeff, it only was up.

[Croy]

No, it's not.

[Chrissy]

I didn't know Apple Pay was using real money because I'm an idiot. Because I was an Android person for so long and I just changed over six months ago.

[Drew]

Yeah. You connect your credit card to it.

[Jeffrey]

I'm sorry, you. You didn't think Apple Pay was real money? What did you think it was?

[Chrissy]

I thought I was earning, like, Apple points, but it's like taking American dollars from your credit card.

[Brooke]

Yeah, that's why your credit card pops up when you press it.

[Jeffrey]

You have to link it.

[Croy]

Right.

[Chrissy]

I just thought that was a deposit to have just in case, to make.

[Jose]

Sure you have an active bank account.

[Drew]

It's okay. Adulting's hard. And we're not all taught the lessons that we should be taught before being sent out to the real world.

[Jeffrey]

Okay? We don't need to condescend to her.

[Drew]

I'm not trying to be condescending. I'm trying to make her feel better.

[Croy]

Babe, you thought that for using your iPhone for six months, you got enough Apple points to buy a nice watch and a trip to the Bahamas?

[Chrissy]

Well, I use it every day.

[Drew]

I mean, I like her point system better.

[Chrissy]

I just can't believe you put me on the radio. You could have just asked me. Now everybody knows how stupid I am.

[Drew]

No, no, you just had an Airhead moment. We've all had him before. It's fine.

[Croy]

Dave, this is a lot better than what I thought was happening. I thought you canceled all those things because you were trying to break up with me.

[Chrissy]

Yeah, no, I just didn't know how to tell you because it's, like, the dumbest thing I've ever done, and you think I was really dumb, and now you just put me on blast to the world, like.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, well, he's not trying to put you on blast or do anything. He only came to for help because he was trying to ask you about it, and you kept saying, we'll talk later or you're too busy. The good news is this is all finally out in the open. There's solutions. It sounds like You've figured things out about how Apple Pay actually works.

[Drew]

And what a sweet girlfriend to even play on that stuff to begin with.

[Croy]

She's the best girlfriend ever. I really, really love her.

[Jeffrey]

You guys with that comment. He just earned himself some boyfriend points. Points there.

[Croy]

Yeah, that's right.

[Drew]

Fill that bucket, buddy.

[Jeffrey]

Which are different than American dollar points. So you know you can't buy much.

[Jose]

Kind of like crypto.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. So listen, Chrissy Croy, both of you, you can go back to planning the 30th birthday. Something a little bit more in your budget, but don't be upset with each other.
