Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Introduction & Listeners’ Mail (01:34–02:28)

• Brooke, Jose, and the crew start by reading an adorable comment from a young Oregon fan (chaos) and setting up the premise: it's Awkward Tuesday, and today's focus is a wedding mystery.

2. Danielle Shares Her Story (02:28–09:11)

• Danielle Background: Recently married; upset that lifelong friend Warren (since elementary school) missed her big day.
• The Situation: Warren RSVP’d “yes” but never appeared. No text, no call, nothing until a perfunctory, “Sorry, couldn’t make it,” the next day (06:46).
• Danielle’s Theories:
  1. Warren’s possibly upset for not being in the wedding party.
  2. He might have secret romantic feelings for her (suggested by others), but Danielle doubts it:

  “I mean, like, he's basically my brother.” – Danielle (08:00)

• Emotional Fallout: Danielle expresses stress and hurt, worried something bad happened, but left in the dark for two weeks without communication.

3. Hosts’ Advice Before the Call (09:41–12:09)

• Brooke’s Strategy: Go in “hot,” leveraging the rumor about Warren’s possible crush to provoke an honest reaction.
• Jose’s Advice: Suggests being delicate, just in case there's a good reason:

  “You may only get one shot at this. All right? You don't want to regret being too aggressive...” – Jose (11:29)

• Danielle leans toward directness, fueled by her ongoing frustration.

4. The Awkward Tuesday Call – The Confrontation (12:09–16:09)

• Danielle confronts Warren (12:15):

  “What am I doing? I'm pretty sure I'm trying to contact you since you, you know, just ghosted my wedding.” – Danielle (12:31)

• Initial Denial: Warren says he’s “not ready for this” and tries to dodge. Danielle presses.
• Rumor Probe: Danielle tests the theory about Warren having feelings for her:

  "All of our friends are going around spinning the rumor mill, saying that the reason you didn't show up is because you're in love with me and that you couldn't handle me at my wedding." (13:07) Warren’s blunt response:
  “Ew. Come on, man. That's not it. No, no, no, no. Stop.” – Warren (13:29)

5. The Truth Comes Out: The Real Reason for the No-Show (13:50–16:41)

• Warren’s Reveal: He claims he did show up, arriving 20 minutes before the ceremony, but when he saw someone he didn’t want to face (“I spotted someone… I just had to bail.”).
• Identity of the Mystery Person: Danielle’s suspicions lead to the wedding planner (Jillian).
• The Bombshell:

  “A couple of years ago...we met [at the airport]...she ended up giving me an STD.” – Warren (15:18)

• Everyone is floored; the show cuts in with awkward sound effects ("party favor") as the shock registers.

6. On-Air Fallout & Group Reaction (16:41–17:36)

• Warren is mortified upon realizing he’s on-air.
• The hosts and Danielle try to normalize the conversation about STDs:

  “It could be fine. It could have been a curable one... It's about sexual health and it should be more talked about in today's...” – Brooke (16:56)

• Danielle is worried for her brother, who also hooked up with the wedding planner (16:46).

7. Emotional Resolution and Moving Forward (17:44–19:19)

• Warren apologizes, assuring Danielle their friendship means the world:

  “I’m sorry. I love you. You’re my best friend. I wouldn’t do anything to hurt you.” – Warren (18:48)

• Danielle still feels hurt but acknowledges their two-decade bond will likely survive:

  “I mean, we've made it 20 plus years in our friendship. I think we'll make it through this, too.” – Danielle (19:07)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Brooke, on wedding etiquette (03:11):

  “Probably seven drinks or more. Minimum... Must wear pants. Unless it says pants optional on the invite, which most do.”

• Jose, on the perfunctory text (06:50):

  “If he texts her the next day and it's not a call, it should be like a five page–oh, my gosh. This is what?”

• Warren shuts down romantic rumors (13:29):

  “Ew. Come on, man. That's not it. No, no, no, no. Stop.”

And now for a bit of breaking news. Between your breaking news with me, the Geico Gecko, here are some things you ought to know today. People who switch their car insurance to Geico save about $900 a year. Experts are calling that nice to know. Also, plants can hear when bees buzz. My ficus just heard that.

[Brooke]

It feels so good.

[Jose]

So thank you for doing. It's like a massage.

[Brooke]

Thank you. Thank you, Jose, for explaining. And let's go to comments from our subscribers. Yes, chaos said. I'm 11 listening from Oregon. I've been listening since I was about three years old. I listen to you guys every time I take a shower. I went from music to you guys. Love you guys. You're a part of my family.

[Jose]

Well, you're Tio Jose. That means uncle says hi.

[Brooke]

How long are the showers? Are they long enough to finish this whole segment? I don't know. The parents water bill is ridiculous. All right, here we go. We got a Brand new episode starting right now.

It's almost time for your awkward Tuesday. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And today we speak to a listener who just got married a couple weeks ago.

That's awesome.

[Warren]

It is.

[Brooke]

But she's a little upset that her childhood friend was a complete no show yo. And everyone is in the dark about why.

[Jose]

Oh, my God.

[Brooke]

Except one of her friends who believes she knows the real reason. Really?

[Jose]

What's the teaching?

[Brooke]

And it is spicy.

[Jose]

Spicy.

[Brooke]

Jeff, let's go.

But is it true? We're gonna find out when we do your awkward Tuesday phone call right after this.

[Warren]

It's awkward.

[Brooke]

It's Tuesday.

[Warren]

It's awkward Tuesday phone call.

[Brooke]

There's a lot of wedding etiquette and protocols that you're expected to follow when you're invited to attend a fancy gathering.

That's right, behave.

Probably seven drinks or more. Minimum.

Wait, minimum?

Minimum. Oh, must wear pants. Unless it says pants optional on the invite, which most do.

You're not going to be wearing anything after seven drinks.

And I know in Brooke's case, she requested do not woot during our first kiss unless the neon sign explicitly says to.

Which the neon sign said to.

It was up the entire time.

Cheer me on. Let's go.

So another potential wedding faux pas that I recently heard about is responding yes on your invite but never showing up.

Oh my God. The only fight I had with my mother was over her friend that did that.

Oh, yes. Well, it's what brings our listener Danielle to the show today. Cuz she recently got married and is struggling with the absence of a good friend who said they'd come but never did. So, Danielle, welcome to the show.

[Danielle]

Hi, guys.

[Brooke]

Hi, Danielle.

Hi, Danielle.

Congratulations. I mean, we should start there.

[Warren]

Thank you.

[Danielle]

Yeah, I mean, it's great being married. I'm so happy with almost everything. I just. Yeah.

[Brooke]

Yeah. They say the first two weeks of marriage are the hardest. So now that you're through this, it's all smooth sailing.

Yeah, that's right.

[Danielle]

Yeah, Cabo was really hard. Really?

[Brooke]

Our hearts go out to you and yours.

That's awesome.

[Jose]

The butler forgot her name twice.

[Brooke]

So tell us, you emailed because apparently somebody was supposed to attend your wedding and did not do that. Let's get into it. Who is it?

[Danielle]

Yeah, so this is one of my, like closest friends of all time. I mean, yeah, we've been friends literally since elementary school. We were basically next door neighbors, like ride the bus together, everything since elementary through college. We went to college together and like, we stayed close this whole time.

[Brooke]

Dude, you don't even have to go any further. I'm offended already. What do you think she no showed.

[Danielle]

So he know showed.

[Brooke]

He know it's a guy?

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

What's his name?

[Danielle]

His name's Warren.

[Brooke]

So take us to what happened at your wedding. How did that go down?

[Danielle]

Okay, so I'm getting ready with my bridesmaids. I'm getting ready to go down. And one of our other best friend, like, our me, one of our mutual good friends is my maid of honor. And she informed me that, like, he wasn't there. And she was like, I thought he was coming and he is coming. So, like, I remember, like, looking out because this is one of my best friends and I don't see him and he's not there.

[Brooke]

No text.

[Danielle]

Yeah, just didn't go up.

[Brooke]

I mean, I would immediately honestly think that something terrible happened. Yeah, for sure. Like car accident, if he had to fly the plane, got delayed, medical emergency, something.

[Danielle]

Well, yeah, I mean, that was my first thought too, because I'm like, what other reason would he possibly not show up to my wedding?

[Brooke]

Totally.

[Danielle]

So I texted him.

[Brooke]

While you're up at the altar?

[Danielle]

Well, no, after.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jose]

That would have been awesome. Hold the wedding one second. Pulls it out of her giant dress.

[Danielle]

It was after.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Danielle]

And I was just like, hey, are you okay? And he didn't reply at all. Oh, so I'm stressed my entire wedding thinking he's dead.

[Brooke]

Yes.

[Danielle]

And then he finally replies the next day.

[Brooke]

What?

[Danielle]

And all he says is, sorry, couldn't make it.

[Jose]

Whoa, that is weird.

[Brooke]

Is that a big deal?

Yes.

[Jose]

Yeah, he should be. If he texts her the next day and it's not a call, it should be like a five page. Oh, my gosh. This is what?

[Brooke]

Yeah, he's mad. I think he's mad at something.

Or he's a man and just stuff really short and it's like, that's all I need to say.

He's a friend, though.

[Jose]

To somebody that's more important.

[Brooke]

Well, do you have any idea why he wasn't there or why he took so long to answer?

[Danielle]

My two top running theories, I guess, at the moment are one, maybe he's upset that he wasn't in the wedding, which he could feel bad about that. Honestly, my. My husband already had his groomsmen.

[Brooke]

But you could have given him another role. You know, like, there's other things at the wedding that could have been. Yeah, he could have been mad about that when he found out, not the day.

[Danielle]

Yeah, I mean. Yeah, my other theory. And I don't really think this one's true. But my other friend, she's saying that she thinks it could be that he's upset because he has feelings for me and I. Yeah, I don't think that's true.

[Warren]

Why not?

[Danielle]

I mean, like, he's basically my brother.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Well, Brooke think that's kind of hot, right? Maybe not.

[Jose]

But if he thought that getting friend zoned still hurts, I guess.

[Danielle]

But, like, why would you ghost me on my wedding day? I don't know.

[Brooke]

I will say I see where you're coming from, but speaking as a guy, we process things a little bit differently. Yeah, not always the best way. And maybe his head just wasn't able to wrap his mind around that moment.

Hasn't he seen a rom com? If that's the case, he's supposed to run down the aisle and say, you're

[Danielle]

supposed to be with me.

[Brooke]

I object.

Would you have been mad at him if he came down and objected and ruined the wedding?

[Danielle]

Well, if that was the case, I wouldn't want him to go, so.

[Brooke]

Okay. Maybe you'll be grateful that he didn't come. Come if we're able to get in touch with him. Because I'm assuming that's what you reached out about is trying to figure out why he's not answering.

[Danielle]

I need you guys to talk to him and figure out what's going on because he's not talking to me. And I honestly don't think I can talk to him right now or should have because I'm so emotional about this. I don't want to upset him more because I'm already really upset.

[Brooke]

Okay.

Yeah.

[Danielle]

I'm just going to make it worse.

[Brooke]

So remember, with the awkward Tuesday, we will let you make this call, but we'll give you our advice first.

That's right. Whether you're emotionally ready or not.

[Warren]

That's right.

[Brooke]

We'll figure out how to save the friendship. How to get your childhood friend to finally open up and tell you why he couldn't bother to show up to the biggest day of your life.

[Jose]

Yeah, you say it like that.

[Brooke]

Yeah, he sucks right now.

Yeah, that's my advice. So here we go. We're gonna do it with your awkward Tuesday right after this.

[Warren]

It's awkward.

[Brooke]

It's Tuesday.

[Warren]

It's awkward Tuesday.

[Jose]

Phone call.

[Brooke]

If you're just joining us, we've been talking to Danielle, who is two weeks out of being newly married.

That part's great.

That is congrats to. But she is still dealing with a little micro drama that happened at the wedding. Because a close guy friend, someone that she grew up with, said that he would show.

Yep.

But never did.

Dude, it's like one of her best friends.

Yeah. She texted him at the wedding saying, where are you? And he didn't respond until the next day.

[Danielle]

Wow.

[Brooke]

He said was, oh, sorry, I couldn't make it.

Yikes. I don't even think he said sorry. Didn't he?

[Jose]

I think he said sorry.

[Brooke]

I can't remember.

It was rude. That's all I know.

[Jose]

You don't give him any credit.

[Brooke]

I'm mad.

Whatever it was, it wasn't enough, and it didn't provide any explanation. He's not answering her texts or her calls now, and that's why she wants us to dial from our number. So hopefully he'll pick up. And we need to give her some advice to get her ready for this. So, Brooke, what have you got?

I'm saying you're coming in hot.

[Warren]

Oh, yes.

[Brooke]

Element of surprise. Because your friends are theorizing that he didn't show because he has a crush on you. So what? You do? He doesn't know this number. You say, hey, listen, I'm upset that you weren't at the wedding, and now all of our friends are starting to rumor that it's because you have feelings for me.

[Jose]

Oh, my God. Immediately.

[Brooke]

Yes. Yes.

Come in angry. What do you think about that, Danielle?

[Danielle]

I like it.

[Brooke]

Yes.

[Danielle]

I mean, honestly. Yeah.

[Brooke]

And I'll tell you why. I think that if he hears that and he really does think of you as just a sister.

[Warren]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

He'd be like, God, no.

[Jose]

Yeah. He'll be like, shut up, bro.

[Brooke]

Yeah. And then he'll have to tell you why he didn't really show up. Yeah.

[Danielle]

Yeah. I mean, I really don't think that's what it is.

[Brooke]

Okay, so possibly harness your inner anger, Jose. What's your advice?

[Jose]

My advice was actually for you to go opposite.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Jose]

I think that you need to be a little delicate with him, you know, because you may only get one shot at this. All right? You don't want to regret being too aggressive and ruining it if he does have a good excuse.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Danielle]

Yeah, Well, I only had one shot at my wedding day, and he wasn't there, so.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Jose]

I have a feeling we're going in hot then.

[Brooke]

Can't lie about your emotions.

As usual, anger wins. So here we go. I'm in a Dial Warren's number, and we're gonna see if he answers and hopefully get some closure on what happened, why he didn't come to your wedding. Here it goes.

[Warren]

Hello?

[Danielle]

Hello?

[Warren]

Hi, Daniel. You get a new phone number?

[Danielle]

Oh, no.

[Warren]

Okay, so, like, what are you doing?

[Danielle]

What am I doing? I'm pretty sure I'm trying to contact you since you, you know, just ghosted my wedding.

[Warren]

Listen, I. I'm. I'm really not ready for this.

[Danielle]

What do you mean you're not ready for this? You had a year and a half to get ready to come to my wedding, and you just didn't show up the day of, so that's not good enough for me.

[Warren]

You know, we. We really going to do this right now?

[Danielle]

Yeah, we are really going to do this right now. Okay, I need to know why. And so I'm just gonna be upfront. All of our friends are going around spinning the rumor mill, saying that the reason you didn't show up is because you're in love with me and that you couldn't handle me at my wedding.

[Warren]

Ew. Come on, man. That's not it. No, no, no, no. Stop.

[Danielle]

Yeah, okay, that's what I said, too.

[Warren]

And, you know, you're. You're my oldest friend, and. And we're family. It's got. It's got nothing to do with me being attracted to you.

[Danielle]

Okay, then why didn't you show up?

[Warren]

I actually. I did show up. I was actually there, what, 20 minutes before the ceremony?

[Danielle]

Whatever. You liar. I looked around. You weren't there. You weren't anywhere.

[Warren]

I really don't want to talk about this.

[Danielle]

You owe it to me, Warren. Just tell me the truth. What happened?

[Warren]

Damn. All right, look. When I was pulling up, I was ready to go in and have a good time with you guys, but I spotted someone that I didn't want to be around, so I just had to bail. I panicked when I saw this person because I don't want to be around this person. Oh, no.

[Danielle]

Okay, but what do you mean by that? Like, I mean, again, that sounds like our friends are right. Like, was this person Tom was the person that you were so upset to see was that my husband? Did it make.

[Warren]

No, no, no, no, no. I love Tom. I'm glad that you guys are getting married. I really am. It's got. It's got nothing to do with Tom. He's legit.

[Danielle]

Okay, then who the hell could have upset you enough to not come to my wedding?

[Warren]

All right, let me ask you something. Was your wedding planner named Jillian?

[Danielle]

Jillian? Yeah, my planner's name is Jillian.

[Warren]

All right? That's what I was afraid of

[Danielle]

a

[Warren]

couple of years ago. Two years ago, right? I was at the airport Taking a flight. And we met, and basically she ended up giving me an std.

[Danielle]

What?

[Warren]

Awkward. What was that noise?

[Brooke]

Oh, that's a party favor.

[Warren]

Oh.

[Danielle]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

I don't know what to say.

You did not mean to out your info like that.

Yeah, yeah.

[Warren]

Warren, why are we on? Who are all these people on the phone?

[Brooke]

Oh, man.

Yeah, These people are a radio show

[Jose]

called Tiny Radio show that no one Listens to.

[Brooke]

And start.

Yeah, don't worry. It's just Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. This is called an Awkward Tuesday Phone Call for obvious reasons, and could be

used as a PSA for safe relations.

[Warren]

I appreciate y' all broadcasting my issue.

[Brooke]

Well, we didn't. We didn't know what the situation was. Yeah. Danielle had no idea why you didn't show up to her wedding.

[Danielle]

I don't know. You could have stayed. First of all.

[Brooke]

Yeah, that's pretty immature. I still think, like, it's not like you're gonna be interacting with a wedding planner.

[Warren]

I didn't know what to do. I was freaking out. I was super embarrassed by the whole thing. And then it just seemed like when I saw her at the wedding. There's no possible way this can end well.

[Brooke]

Is it something that you and the wedding planner had not talked about before this moment?

[Warren]

Nope.

[Brooke]

Oh, so she doesn't know.

[Danielle]

Oh, my God.

[Warren]

She doesn't know. I didn't contact her afterwards.

[Danielle]

Oh, my God. I just. I just thought of something. My brother hooked up with Jillian after the wedding.

[Warren]

Yikes.

[Brooke]

It could be fine. It could have been a curable one. You could use protection. Like, there's millions of things. Yeah. Millions of people that have this problem.

[Danielle]

Yeah. What?

[Brooke]

You literally just take a pill, you're fine? It's about sexual health, and it should be more talked about in today's.

[Jose]

If you think about it, everyone should

[Danielle]

get an stock it with my brother,

[Brooke]

so we don't want to stigmatize it.

All that aside, it's good that this conversation is happening, because now we finally understand what the real issue was.

[Jose]

And the brother knows that he may need some antibiotics.

[Brooke]

Yes.

And that's okay. Modern medicine is an amazing thing.

[Warren]

Is it all right if I could maybe bow out of this conversation? I've had a cocktail or two, and I really don't feel like talking about it.

[Brooke]

I think this is exactly how the airport situation came up in the first place.

[Nespresso Advertiser]

Day drinks.

[Jose]

But no wonder he sounds like a fun time.

[Brooke]

I mean, I think the whole point is you forgive him for that.

[Jose]

Oh, good.

[Brooke]

Right? Like, can you guys move past this in Your relationship.

[Danielle]

I mean, honestly, I'm still really hurt by it. And I, like, I just. I wish you'd talk to me. And I'm really upset that you didn't reply to me the last two weeks about it.

[Warren]

Yeah, I just didn't know what to say. I had no idea what to do. I knew I was going to come out eventually, but I didn't want to go into that situation and think there was any possibility of something happening that would mess up the wedding day for you guys.

[Brooke]

Did you think that you're gonna hook up with her there again? Is that what you were worried about?

[Warren]

Nope. Nope.

[Jose]

He's like, dude, she cannot resist me

[Brooke]

after I've had three cocktails. All right, well, Danielle, he did it, it sounds like, to protect you and not create any more drama at the wedding than there needed to be.

[Warren]

Yeah.

[Danielle]

Oh, my God.

[Warren]

Just for the record, I'm sorry. I love you. You're my best friend. I wouldn't do anything to hurt you.

[Brooke]

That's sweet.

Remember, you're talking to Danielle, not Jillian here. So

[Warren]

I got other words for Jillian.

[Brooke]

You can do those off the air.

[Danielle]

Yeah, well, still not thrilled about how it all went down, but, I mean, we've made it 20 plus years in our friendship. I think we'll make it through this, too.

[Brooke]

Aw, that's sweet.

I feel good about this. Drink's on me. Let's all head to the airport together and celebrate.

[Danielle]

Yeah, absolutely. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Geico Gecko]

And now for a bit of breaking news. Between your breaking news with me, the Geico Gecko, here are some things you ought to know today, people who switch their car insurance to Geico save about $900 a year. Experts are calling that. Nice to know. Also, plants can hear when bees buzz. My ficus just heard that. And finally, animal experts have confirmed that goats have regional accents. I'm getting a hint of Irish there.

[Liberty Mutual Spokesperson 1]

It feels good to get good news.

[Brooke]
