You found the official second date update podcast. Yeah, there's a lot of posers out there, you know. Hey, it's freaking Jeffrey in the morning. Thank you so much for being here. And on Tuesdays, if you're new to the second date podcast, we always do a little something called the awkward Tuesday phone call. And that's where if you're having a hard conversation, you don't know how to approach with any type of relationship. It could be romantic, it could be a friendship, a co worker. You call us for help. Yeah. And we give you very shaky advice. But that's why it's free. Yeah, it's free. Exactly. Exactly. And we always start these by reading a couple comments. What do you see, Alexis? Yeah. Well, speaking of this being our real second date feed, someone asked what our socials are like, the Brooke and Jeffrey social, to know that it's really us. Yay. And it's always going to be at BrookeandJeffrey. Yes, it's @brookeandjeffrey. And we'll always be check marked. Yeah. Yeah. I don't want to confuse this. What? We don't say official. I've seen the fake ones that are like official. Brooke and J. Don't. You're right. We do not say official. So if it says official, it's not us. That's as confusing though. Yeah, that is a little confusing. We are unofficial for the check mark. Brooke and Jeffrey with the check mark. And that's true on YouTube too. We just passed 100,000 subscribers, which is amazing. So we really appreciate you being there and making sure it's us for sure. All right, let's get this going. You can never underestimate. Underestimate the importance of being polite to people in your life. Yeah, I agree with that. And it's not always easy, but it shows that you're a good person who cares. Politeness always helps. So how do you politely stab your friend in the back and take what's theirs to show you care? You can't do that in care, Jeffrey. You can't do that. I think that you can because that's what one of our listeners needs help doing today. And she has a good reason for doing it. I just need know there has to be a polite way to go about it. Backstabbers always think they got a good reason. You're gonna hear what she wants to take away politely from her friend. Oh, my God. In your brand new awkward Tuesday phone call. Next. It's awkward. It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday phone call. You know the story of the unlikely hero, right, Brooke? Which one? I mean, that's just a general term. You said the. So I was thinking it was specific. Let's take this show, for example. Okay? It was rudderless, flailing, no direction, sinking down into the mud when a young Jewish boy genius, who was charming as he was handsome hung too, was thrown into the first mic position. And the rest is radio history. Wow. Is that what happened? I think we were wildly successful and then we're like a little bit less successful now, but things are still afloat. We all have stories of unlikely heroes. Thankfully, all of you in studio were able to benefit from it. I am so grateful for you every day of your day. I just think it's your humility that sets you apart. Well, it's not me. I'm not talking about myself. Oh, you're not? It's whoever takes my place after me. Okay, there we go. That's gonna be the real star. Do they have to be Jewish? And hu need to. Apparently a similar situation happened to one of our listeners and they need our help today desperately. So please welcome to the show, Lexi. Hey, guys. Oh, God. Sorry. My bad. Sorry. Lexi is his ex's name. Okay? This is about you. Different Lexi. Yeah. Are you the unsung hero, my friend? I don't think I'm. I'm a hero, but I do have a problem. Okay. Oh, okay. Okay. Jeff is very vague. Maybe you have to explain. Explain more for us from one hung person to another. Tell us what you're dealing with in your life. He wants to know. Tell us what's going on. Why'd you email the show? So the other week, a friend of mine, a good friend of mine, texted me for a last minute favor. Okay. And his name's Michael. Not Brooks Michael. Though we don't have to associate everyone with a similar name to someone in our lives. I just want to chat. We're just making sure it's not Brooke's husband, right? No. Okay. It is not. My ex has a problem with Brooke's husband. So your friend Michael wanted a last second favor. Yeah. So he's on this recreational kickball team. You know, one of those, like fun leagues. Yeah, exactly. So you need like a fill in. It's always hard to get people to show up. Yeah, literally. Exactly. So he was going out of Town for a week, and he didn't want to let the team down. And apparently, like, if you don't have enough players or something, they have to forfeit or, like, you know, so it's a whole thing. And he asked me if I could step in. In for him. Oh, that's nice. All right. It's awesome that he found his own substitute. It's usually, like, whoever put the team together at the last minute. Yeah. I think Alexis got into one of those because they needed an emergency, dragged her off the sidewalk. A lot of free time. What'd you say? Did you do it? Well, yeah. I mean, I. I didn't know. I don't know anything about this. Right. Like, so I was like, okay, sure. And I was, you know, maybe it'll be fun. Okay. How could this possibly cause an issue? Well, okay. So I go, yeah. And it turns out I might be, like, a kickball prodigy. Oh. Oh, nice. You can kick that red rubber ball far. She's got a golden toe. Yeah, I guess I remembered from, like, third grade. I don't know. Like, it's not a huge. I mean, it's not a real sport. Don't take that away from her. I think it's a very cool and hard skill. This is your unlikely hero moment. Well, right. So the game I played, we ended up winning. Right. So it's, like, a big deal because apparently this team, like, just doesn't ever win. Oh, even better. You were their savior. Yeah. So they real. So this is where they were like, oh, my God, you're so awesome. Like, it was really fun. And they invited me to go out to the bar afterwards to celebrate, and that's when it got uncomfortable because they're like, you. We should keep you. And, like, Michael should not come back. Like, they were. They were saying, like, I should. They want to kick Michael off the team for you. They're gonna need him in, like, a week when they're down players again. Yeah. Isn't there room for both of you? Listen, I thought they were joking. Like, again, I don't know the rules, like, how many people are allowed on a team, but then the team captain, he, like, pulled me aside, and he was dead serious. He's like, oh, we really like to replace Michael. Oh, my God. Dude. I was on a kickball team, and one of the guys on our team was just like, what your cap says. Like, where he wanted to hold practice and take it, like, really seriously. I'm like, yo, man, that's not what we're doing for the cocktails. I mean, you can't do that. You can't replace your friend on his own team. Yeah, listen, the problem is because, like I said, I have a lot of time, and I've sort of been looking for a new hobby myself, and everybody was so nice, and it was just, like, such a good feeling, and, like, I don't want to, like, take his spot, but I kind of want to. It kind of. It kind of fits. It's one of those things that's like, falling into your lap. Wait a second. Did. Did you say, yes, I will replace him? I might have said yes. Please don't tell me we're calling Michael to tell him he's kicked off the kickball team. Yeah. So he's like. He's back in a day or two, and I don't want him to hear it from anybody else. I want to be the one to tell him I want to talk to him first, because, like, that would be even worse. I have a question. How. How serious is this kickball team for Michael? Honestly, he's played for a long time, so I guess it's pretty serious. Yeah. That means it's like being kicked out of your friend group. It's not necessarily about the kickball team. It's like being disinvited to happy hour. It's like when Brooke got kicked out of her book club because she wasn't reading the books ever. Well, I think you left, but it's different. This is the time when having a young Jewish boy, charming genius on the show would really be useful. Wait a minute. When are we gonna hire him? Since we don't have that, we're just gonna have Brooke and give you some advice when we come back. I'm Catholic. Oh, no. You're really in trouble when we do your awkward Tuesday phone call next. It's awkward. It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday phone call. Ah, the majestic sports of kickball. Goes all the way back to 1992. Oh, yeah. I think it's probably older than that. 1991, then. Okay. You'd think people wouldn't take it as seriously as they do because it's really just a bunch of buzzed adults drinking beers and kicking a red ball around on a playground. Dude. But that's so fun. It gets serious. You never grow out of that game if you've played on an adult league. I mean, it is a big deal for people, especially the ones who've let the rest of their dreams in life die away. Maybe that's what the problem is. This is why this Awkward Tuesday is gonna be especially awkward. Cause Lexi, one of our listeners, ended up filling in for her good friend while he was away on vacation and ended up doing so well, the team has asked her to replace him permanently. And after a few beers at the bar, Lexi was like, heck, yeah. Screw Michael. I'll do it. And Michael's coming back from vacation tomorrow, so she needs to break the news to him first before he hears it from someone else. Who? Brooke? What advice do you have to give for that? I mean, it's just hard, man. Lexi, I think that the thing you do to preserve your friendship is you let him know, which is true. That it was their decision. You had nothing to do with it, Right? Yeah. Like, it was their choice. And that's good. On the good side, like, first time, you get a little sick, you know, he's your backup, Right? Right. First rotation. Yeah. I like that. You know, he has something. Yeah. To look forward to. The bench, possibly. You know, he's not all the way out. It's a nice view from the bleachers, isn't it, Jose, what do you think you need to tell his friends to take him off of the email list and then just tell him the season's canceled. What? Season ended early. That's even worse. That she has to be, like, secretive about it. Yeah, but at least he'll never know. His feelings won't be hurt at all. That's a lot of avoidance. How does that sound? Lexi? No, I don't think. Yeah, she doesn't seem reasonable. I usually give such sound advice. I don't know what's going on. And here's something that we didn't talk about in the first part. Lexi. I was going back over your email, and we talked about you filling in for him for kickball, but it also says you guys work together, and while he was gone, you had to do some of his job, too. What? You didn't take his job away, did you? Oh, my gosh. No, no, no. Oh, my God. No. You're not going to take his wife and family. She's actually wearing his clothes right now. I mean, our supervisor did say I was more productive, but, like, I don't want to be digging it. That hurts. That's like when they give Alexis my tasks at work, and she does it 10 times faster. No surprise. I mean, it could be anybody we give your job to. 10 times faster. That is true. Happy to be here. Maybe he shouldn't have got on vacation. I don't know. I like that attitude. Deserves a vac. That Accusatory attitude into this phone call. I'm dialing his number right now. Good luck. Okay, Here we go. Hello? Hey, Michael, it's Lexi. Oh, hey. That's. How you doing? That was a weird number. I don't recognize. How are you? Oh, I'm good. How are you? How was your trip? I'm good. I'm just. Been great. I learned how to scuba dive. Yeah. Wow. It was a lot of fun. Well, that's awesome. Yeah. How were you? I'm good. I'm good. I just wanted to say thank you so much for inviting me to, like, fill in for you on the kickball team. It was, like. It was so fun. I don't think I've had that much. Yeah. Aren't they great? They're so great. They're awesome. Yeah, they're, like, the best. That's awesome. I'm so glad you got to do it. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Because I gotta tell you, sometimes they get, like, really crazy. And some of the girls don't like other girls. You know how it gets. But. Oh, no, nothing like that. No, no, no, no. It was. Everybody was, like, over the top. Nice. So that's great. That's so cool. Yeah. Like, do you really like playing on the team? Like, real talk. Yeah, it's the greatest. It's, like, my favorite. I'm so glad I met those people. You know, I was like, really, you know, kind of, like going through something like that I met, like. It's like, just a great group of friends. Yeah. I will say I was a tiny bit hesitant when I went. Because you talk about, like, sort of how frustrated you get sometimes with the kickball team. I was like, oh, you know, I didn't know. We. We do. Yeah. We lose every time. But it's not really what it's about, I don't think. I think it's just, you know, the camaraderie and having a good time together and everything. Yeah. Well, you know what's cool is we did win. We won, but, like, first winner, I guess. You won? Yeah. Can you believe it? No, you didn't. You didn't win? No. Like, I'm not. I'm not kidding. We actually won. We, like, solidly won. How. I mean, how did you win? I mean, we're really not. We're not good. I mean, I had a really good night. I think I scored, like, literally all the goals except for, like, two. So, like, it's not goals. It's. It's points. You score points, Goals. Well, I mean, Whatever I did, I scored them. Wow. They must be loving me that I found you, huh? Yeah, about that. So some of the other people on the team sort of, like, approached me, and they thought it might be, like, just an idea if I just, like, took your place for a couple games. Like, just for a few games. What? Who said that? Like, like, all of. All of them. Really? All of them? I mean, yeah, like, the whole. Like, the whole team. All of them? Yep. No. What about my sister? Your sister? No. Wait a minute. What is going on? Michael. Michael. What's up, man? We have a lot of heart for you right now, my friend. Yeah. What is going on here? Lexi. Yeah. You're on the radio. What? Yeah. Hi. Surprise. Lexi needed our help to break this news to you because we're doing something called an awkward Tuesday phone call to let you know that you're not on a losing team anymore. That's not on any team. Oh. Better way to play. Is it your little sister or your big, big sister that's on the team? My little sister. So Lexi, his little sister, was on board too. I don't know if she was the first one to think it, but she's definitely on board. I don't know what to say other than, like, I'm the one who helped start this team. I. I've been on this team for, like, eight years. Eight years. You guys sucked for eight years. Yeah. That's on you for sticking with it. I guess it's about the friendship and the fun. To him, maybe, you know, your friends, it's not about friendship. It's just about. They just finally got that taste of victory when you weren't there, and they. They want more of it. You know, I get it. Like, she's really good, and I'm glad they won. And that's awesome and everything, but I. I don't think that I. I don't think I need to be off the team. I would agree. I don't think so either. I mean, like, I'd be happy to, like, swap. Or what if you're, like, an alternate? I don't know. I don't think Michael sister would like that. Ide. Is there maybe a team manager? Ooh, cheerleader. Team manager. I like that you want him to be the water boy on the team. He could be the guy who sends out all the emails. Nobody. He could be, like, in charge of the ball. He could be the ball holder. We're taking away Michael's manhood one comment at a time. Michael, are you okay, man? Not really. I gotta Talk to the guys who run this. Cause this is not cool. How have you been there for eight years and you don't run it just well? But maybe since he's a free agent now, another winning team will pick you up. Everybody likes that revenge story of coming back and playing your old team and taking them down. Especially if your sister's on the team. Yeah, you know, that's actually not a bad idea. I know the Wizardinators. I could probably kick fourth for them in their backup slot. Hey, that's a cleanup hitter. That's a big role. Yeah. There you go. Good. Lexi, it sounds like you have a new league rival. I didn't mean to create my worst enemy. Yeah, I wouldn't tell him about the job thing. Yeah. What happened at work? Oh, you guys. Job thing. What about my job? You're fired. All right, let's hang up. Just kidding. That was a joke.
