It's Brooken Jeffrey in the morning, and they say it's notoriously difficult for grown men to make new friends, and that's why. In today's phone tap, I call a guy who just moved into a new neighborhood with his family, and I am generously offering to give my time to hang out with him immediately. I just need one thing from him first. He needs to sell me on it. In your phone tap right now, brook In Jeffrey's phone taps on the twenties. Hello, Hi, is this James? Yeah
speaking Hey James. My name is Tyson. I'm one of your neighbors. You just moved in recently, right, Yeah, we just moved in last week. Cool. Nice to meet you. Yeah, nice to meet you too, Tyson. Yeah. So my wife, who's friends with your wife, she thinks it'd be good for us to like hang out some time you and me. Okay, yeah, oh for me? Yeah sure cool? So sell me on it. I'm sorry, Yeah, sell me on it. Like know you want it? Yeah? Why should I hang out with you?
But what would we do? Where we go? Because you know, my time's kind of valuable, and I just want to make sure it's gonna be worth it for me. Well, hold on, man, you called me to ask me to hang out. No, our wives talk to each other and they thought we should hang out and get to know each other. Well, I'm going to speak to Michelle and see if this is her idea. Michelle already thinks it's a good idea, So you just have to sell me on it. It's a good buddy, don't speak for my
wife for me. Okay, Listen, I'm picking up that you're kind of a hot head, and when you and me hanging out, I don't need that kind of energy. Buddy, that's not selling me on it. Hold on, I'm not being a hothead here. You're antagonizing me. I'm just trying to even. Just the way that you said I'm not being a hot head makes me think that you're more of a hot header. All right, listen, so I don't appreciate this conversation. Well, now you've just gone all the
way down to the bottom, the bottom of what your list? Great, I'm glad I'm there. It's actually just a neighbor list. I rank them, and now you've ranked the neighbors. Mike's at the very top, super cool. Who's Mike? Well, you even met Mike. No, I have not met Mike. He's in the yellow house down the street. That's great, but he's my number one, so you can't have him. But
then number two is Rob what Mike? What's fine? You can have robbed what he's talking about, but you can have Rob on the weekends, because that's when we chose. You're trying to fish me off. Yeah, that's really not selling me. Honestly, I'm not interested in anything that you're trying to sell me. I'm not selling you anything. I'm the buyer. Remember what talking about. Here's what I'm kind of gathering from this conversation is that you're not a
very trustworthy person. And all right, that's not making me want to hang out with you anymore. Okay, great, Yeah, don't don't have your I don't need your wife talking to my wife then and making up these ridiculous ideas. I'm not gonna hang out with a nut job like Okay, listen, I'm gonna give you a pass on how this conversation started. You're new sell me on us hanging out. No, I'm not gonna sell you on hey, No, this is ridiculous, man, I'll start I'm gonna get a little vulnerable with you here.
I enjoy gardening. Do you sure? What do you like the garden? Oh? I did not think you were gonna ask me that. What you know, just general landscape, green bushes and tree stuff. No, that was a lie I could tell. I drink wine sometimes I go kite flying on the weekends. Who goes kite flying? Again, you don't understand how things work in this neighborhood. But if we go kite flying together, we're not having flying kit Let's say we are. We're rubbing each other and we're goosing
each other around. We're just gibing. No, no, Then you know, maybe I'll feel more comfortable with you, and I'd be open to telling you that this is a prank phone call on the radio and it's all a joke. What. Yeah, Then I would feel comfortable telling you that I'm actually from a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning, and I don't live in your neighborhood, but your son Emerson wanted to set you up for a phone tap. So how do you know my son because he listens
to our show. He emailed us and told us that you guys just moved and he thought he'd be funny to prank you. Are you kidding me? I'm serious. Oh do you think I'd sound like a kite flyer? No, I could tell you got really upset there, I did. I was ready to come over and fight. That's not a very neighborly way to join in any community. Oh you're right, you're right. I would not have made the list, my god. But seriously, for the last time, if we
hang out, sell me on it. Jeffreys' phone taps on the twenties
