Brooke
Oh my God, what a day we have. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And you found the full hour tons to celebrate today.
Alexis
Yes.
Brooke
There is one huge milestone is that young Jeffrey today will sing his 1000th wow. Song of the week.
Alexis
Crazy.
Jose
Twice I've tried to clap this up and no one else joins me but Jeff, I love you out there, buddy.
Alexis
I'm not gonna hear this.
Jose
I've tried.
Brooke
Let's be real.
Alexis
He's not gonna hear this ever.
Brooke
Yeah. I love it. I love it. You're gonna love the song of the week. And if you don't, keep your comments to yourself because he's near broke point. And then also we get a look into Ashton's life. We get his mom and dad on the show because he just moved back home.
Jeffrey
Yep.
Brooke
And there's actually a comment about Ashton. Oh, yeah.
Alexis
Aaron J. Is gonna be extra happy about today's episode because SAID finally broke down and looked up a picture of Ashton and I would definitely watch a sitcom starring him.
Jeffrey
Yes.
Alexis
Sorry, Alexis, but we have a new favorite. Gen Zer.
Brooke
Wow. So it's bad if you get dethroned by the only other Gen Z Alexis.
Alexis
Yeah, that's. But after today's segment, he might have earned it. Yeah, he really did.
Brooke
All right, enjoy the full show. It starts right now.
Jeffrey
Not sure if you saw this. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning, but there's a public outcry over a recent poll of the country's best hamburger in honor of National Hamburger Day.
Jose
Okay, this is always a fun combo.
Brooke
Who got it?
Jeffrey
I'm not going to get all into it, but the controversy surrounds the number one pick. Cuz it's not from a traditional burger spot that low.
Jose
Not like one of the ones we know.
Jeffrey
Not five Guys. Not In N Out. Oh, I love In N Out. It was actually Buffalo Wild Wings.
Brooke
Has anyone had a burger?
Jeffrey
No.
Jose
You've gone there for the Wii.
Jeffrey
Apparently a lot of people love a specific item on their menu. And I'm just going to read it to you how they describe it. It's a Double Smash burger with American cheese, bacon, grilled onions, pickled Fresno chili peppers, and hatch chili aioli on a toasted challah bun.
Jose
Dude, that actually sounds gourmet.
Alexis
Let's go right now and get it.
Brooke
Yeah, I'm not against it. I mean, bring him in. Do you have them outside bringing the
Jose
In n Out and the five Guys?
Jeffrey
All the niche burger places like five Guys and In N Out are like, seriously, you're going to give it to Buffalo Wild Wings? Are you joking?
Alexis
Don't be jealous.
Brooke
Yes. Yeah, up your game.
Jeffrey
Then they went there and tried it and they were like, whoa. Actually this is pretty good. Also in a viral video, some psychopath snuck in some bloomin onion petals to put on top of the Wild Wings burger and said it tastes even better.
Brooke
So you were looking for an Outback Wild Wings collab?
Brooke (phone tap persona)
Is that what we're looking for?
Logan
I guess.
Alexis
Yeah.
Jeffrey
That's where we're at as a country. Happy National Burger Day, everybody.
Brooke
Maybe we could all stuff it inside of a pizza crust and let Pizza Hut sell it.
Jeffrey
I'm not against it. Let's all put our bibs on as we send it over to the 190 pounds of bacon stuffed man meat that we refer to as Digital Jake.
Jose
He's our little Jake Inator.
Brooke
Oh, I thought he was a smash burger too.
Jeffrey
Toss some toasted challah on that shot collar. Question of the day. Let's go.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
Well, today we celebrate National Paperclip Day, right?
Alexis
Almost as exciting as hamburger.
Brooke
Almost.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
We're honoring the most humble of office supplies that's held together. Book reports, the tax audits, and most of brooks homemade Halloween costumes. But the most famous paperclip of all time isn't even allowed near actual paper anymore. I'm talking about Clippy, the over caffeinated Microsoft Assistant from 1997 who would pop up on your Word document saying, hey, it looks like you're trying to write a ransom letter to the cops. Would you like some help with that?
Jose
Or chatgpt?
Brooke
Yeah, Clippy was the original AI.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
Yeah, if you've never witnessed him yourself or you're too young to remember. Clippy was a bendy cracked out little eavesdropper with zero qualifications and terrible timing. But somehow he still became Microsoft's unofficial mascot for years. Even after he was fired from his job for cause.
Jeffrey
That's why he's a staple.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
That's why today, in honor of the world's most overachieving office doodad, we're gonna highlight other famous company mascots during a special spokesperson smackdown edition of plenty of 20. You'll say a number through 20 all describe a famous non food related mascot from America's past. You just have to name them to stay in the game. Okay, and we'll start with the woman who's become the unofficial mascot for Dollar Store Body Glitter.
Alexis
That's Alexis, 9.
Brooke (phone tap persona)
Just a little bit of a rash.
Jose
She wears it every day.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
Alexis. Created in 1944, this famous mascot was originally designed to stop people from accidentally or Purposely setting forests on fire during World War II. But after the war was over, he spent the next 80 years begging Americans not to throw lit cigarettes into dry grass. And I still struggle not to do that every single day.
Brooke
Which is weird because you don't smoke.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
I know. I just like to light them. Alexis, name this mascot.
Alexis
Oh, I'm pretty sure it's Smokey the Bear.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
Smokey the Bear?
Brooke
What is that?
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
Very incorrect. As an unrepentant pedant, Alexis, I love to point out that his name is Smokey Bear and not Smokey the Bear.
Brooke
Wow.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
Please come correct time. Brooke, it's your turn. Nine is off the board.
Brooke
Oh, God, I'm nervous after that. Two.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
Number two. Just say the right answer, Brook.
Jeffrey
Okay.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
Before the Geico Gecko became the biggest mascot on the planet, the company ran commercials featuring a shaggy guy who was constantly offended by one of the company's ad slogans. Name him to stay in the game. And a hint. It wasn't Shaggy from Scooby Doo.
Brooke
No, I think you're talking about the Caveman.
Jose
Yeah, so funny.
Brooke
But do I have to have a name for them? Like, was his name Carl the Caveman
Alexis
man, or was it don't do Carl the Caveman? No, the Carl Caveman.
Brooke
I think it was the Geico Caveman.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
Geico Caveman is
Brooke
good.
Jeffrey
Very good.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
Jose, we're over to you. Two and nine are off the board.
Jose
Let's go five.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
Because cigarette ads were banned starting in the mid-60s, tobacco companies switched to print marketing for promotion. And in 1974, a French ad campaign was commissioned by a cigarette company that featured a desert dwelling mascot wearing sunglasses. Oh, yeah, Tell me his name to stay in the game.
Jose
Oh, well, it's. His name is also my name. Right? I am Jose Bolanos. His name is Joseph Camel.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
Joe.
Jose
It's. Joe is his name. I call Joseph because I've known him since I was 16 and I smoked cigarettes.
Brooke
But you quit.
Jose
I did quit. A long time ago. So give me Joe Camel.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
Joe Camel is exactly what I was looking for. The manufacturer ultimately terminated the campaign in 1997. Maybe because he was too cool.
Jose
Too cool?
Brooke
Dude, honestly, they were just marketing to kids.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
Honestly, Love island really fell off when they stopped letting people smoke cigarettes on camera.
Jeffrey
Oh, man.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
Jeffrey, we're over to you. We're talking company mascots. Alexis got hers wrong, but Brooke and Jose are still in the game. Need a number, please?
Jeffrey
I'll go number eight.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
The mascot for the language learning app Duolingo became famous online for aggressively reminding users to complete Their less and haunting their notifications like a passive aggressive life coach. Everyone knows it's an owl, but do you know its full name?
Jeffrey
Kidding.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
It has a full name?
Jeffrey
Oh, this is impossible.
Brooke
Oh, not on TikTok.
Jose
Is it.
Jeffrey
Is it one name or is it two names that he has?
Brooke
Well, now you want or three names,
Jeffrey
like give me, give me a hint. Give me something close.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
It's either three or four names. It's a fool
Jose
I need.
Jeffrey
Is it a boy owl or is it a girl owl?
Brooke
You can't ask all these questions. If you don't know, you don't know.
Jeffrey
I feel like this is a fair question.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
I'm running the game. I think you can ask these questions. Jeffrey, I would think this is a feminine owl.
Jeffrey
Are you sure?
Brooke
Wait, now you're questioning whether he knows?
Jeffrey
Okay, I want you to check underneath the feathers and get back to me.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
I'm not allowed to do that.
Jeffrey
I refuse to answer this question unless I have that information.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
I can't.
Jeffrey
You want to say girl owl? Yeah, I'm going to go. Boys and girls name.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
Okay, mix it up.
Jeffrey
Duo Renault. Renee Lingo.
Brooke
Oh, wow.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
That was like very close. Jeffrey. It's incorrect. Her name is Duo Keyshawna. Renee Lingo.
Ashton
Who Renee is?
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
Renee is.
Brooke
How did you get Renee right?
Jeffrey
Oh my God.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
After all that, I'm gonna say Brooke and Jose have tied in. Today's plenty of 20.
Ashton's Dad
All right.
Jeffrey
I mean, they get to choose who gets shocked. And they're gonna be singing the Oscar Meyer wiener jingle.
Brooke
I think it's a duet.
Jose
Yeah, Duo Shocko.
Jeffrey
Okay.
Brooke
Exactly.
Jeffrey
Alexis and I will get shocked together.
Logan
Here we go.
Jeffrey
Oh, I'd love to be an Oscar Meyer wiener. That is what I truly like to be. Cause if I was an Oscar Meyer wiener, everyone would be in love with me.
Jose
Good. I like the delayed like practice.
Brooke
Yeah, I don't know that one.
Jeffrey
No, it was great.
Alexis
Oh, you couldn't tell.
Jose
Yeah.
Jeffrey
My harmony. It's your shot collar. Question of the day.
Show Announcer
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Jeffrey
Wow, what a week for Drake. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Jose
Not my guy.
Jeffrey
With his new album, he becomes the first artist ever to hold the top three spots on the Billboard top 200 chart.
Ashton
Dang.
Jeffrey
And he's currently taking up almost half of the entire Hot 100.
Brooke
Dude, that's crazy.
Jeffrey
Well, it's.
Jose
Cause he has three albums to go through.
Brooke
Is it better to do it all three at one time or would it been more lucrative to just wait and release it later? I don't know.
Alexis
I Heard it was part of his label though he might have had to do three, right?
Brooke
Oh, he had to. Like it's like turning in late work. Yeah, yeah. Like procrastinating.
Jeffrey
Whatever it is, it's working. Cause all three albums were released at once and 42 of the songs made it on the Hot 100, including nine out of the top 10 songs. Not surprisingly, that's the most entries ever for a single week.
Jose
Dang.
Jeffrey
Morgan Wallen used to have the previous record with 37 songs in the Hot 100 back in 2023.
Brooke
Dude, Taylor Swift didn't have it. Interesting. I thought after that, torture society, eras, all that stuff.
Jeffrey
As long as we're talking records. Michael Jackson held the record for most number one songs by a solo male artist at 13. And Drake just passed him with 14 now thanks to his new track Janice STFU.
Jose
Yeah, that's a.
Brooke
How does he feel about Janice, huh? Yeah.
Jeffrey
Sounds like a very deep song.
Jose
So can we go tell older people today? I just want you to know Drake's officially bigger than Elvis. Yeah, don't take that well.
Jeffrey
Now the only artists that are still ahead of him are Mariah Carey with 19 number one songs and the Beatles with 20 number one hits.
Brooke
How do they still hold a record? That is wild.
Jose
Was there just no music back then? Beatles were the only band. I'm just kidding.
Jeffrey
There was like six artists. It was hard. Laser Stories coming up right after this.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
I love it's Laser Stories.
Jeffrey
It's the radio segment that's introduced a cool new product mashup to make your whole house smell fantastic.
Brooke
Really?
Jeffrey
It's called the Cinnabroom. Combining Cinnabon with a Swiffer wet jet to leave gobs of sweet frosting all over your floors.
Brooke
And then you lick it clean. I get it.
Jeffrey
Sparkling clean and smelling delicious. You are welcome for Laser Stories. The second where we read weird news stories around the globe just like everyone else does. Except we've got a laser. Those are the glaze bays. Just don't. This first laser story is out of Florida. 33 year old man named Clayton Warren broke into the collectibles store the other night.
Brooke
Come on, Clayton.
Jeffrey
And he wasn't subtle about it.
Brooke
He wasn't.
Jeffrey
I say that cuz he was caught on surveillance video using a chainsaw.
Brooke
I see. One of those sneaky tools.
Jeffrey
Yeah.
Brooke
That burglars often use.
Jeffrey
He initially tried to break the window with a rock but that didn't work.
Brooke
Where did he get the chainsaw from?
Jeffrey
He went and grabbed it from inside his trunk. Of course. I See, and he used the saw to cut a large triangle size shaped into the hurricane proof window in order to get in. Oh, ain't nobody got time for that.
Brooke
Okay, hurricane proof, but not chainsaw proof.
Jeffrey
Not quite.
Brooke
I mean, the company should know that.
Jeffrey
Side note, he did cut himself in the process, leaving some of his own blood behind at the scene. That's not great. Regardless, he was able to get in and walk away with about $12,000 worth of pokem cards.
Brooke
Kabara Goya.
Jeffrey
I know it.
Brooke
I knew it. I totally knew it. Now they're bloody Pokemon cards.
Jose
But no, I hope. Not that he's going to ruin their score.
Jeffrey
I think they're still valuable. But in addition to the blood and the chainsaw, his car and his license plate were also captured on camera. Just a super smart guy.
Brooke
But he felt so prepared when he realized he had a chainsaw in his trunk. You know, he's like, man, I thought
Jose
this one thing, yeah, I'm smart for a moment.
Jeffrey
Till cops caught up with him about an hour later over at his parents house.
Brooke
Oh, with his Pokemon cards.
Jeffrey
That's where they charged him with burglary and grand theft.
Brooke
I guess that's the most adult thing he had done in a while.
Jeffrey
He's almost a grown up. Yeah, good for him.
Jose
They put him in juvie.
Jeffrey
This next laser story is also out of Florida.
Brooke
Wow, what a special day.
Jeffrey
A 31 year old woman named Katie Wells was pulled over in Palm beach county after an officer spotted her using her cell phone while Dr. Oh, don't do it. But in the now viral video, you can see him approach her window to let her know that he saw her holding the phone in her right hand. Just one problem with that accusation. Katie held up her right arm to reveal she doesn't have a right hand.
Brooke
Oh, that's gonna be the most awkward thing for a cop at that point. Like did not see that coming because
Jeffrey
turns out she's an amputee and her arm ends at her elbow area. So holding the phone with that would be physically impossible, right? Well, not according to the officer.
Brooke
Wait, he stuck with it.
Jeffrey
He was not satisfied.
Jose
No.
Jeffrey
In fact, he doubled down and told her I saw what I saw. What? And wrote her a ticket for $116.
Rebecca
Oh my God, you about to lose your job.
Jose
Yes. Thanks for playing that. Sue this man.
Brooke
Yeah, I mean I would have probably been like, oh, I'm bad with left and right. I'm so sorry. I meant left.
Jeffrey
Okay, you know what? Rock paper scissors and we'll handle this.
Jose
Here we go.
Jeffrey
Oh, never mind. Just keep doing rock. Well, Katie finally had her day in court. And after proving again to the judge she does not, in fact, have a right hand.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
Oh, my God.
Jeffrey
Her citation was dismissed. But the good news is Katie posted the body cam video on her tick tock page, and people could not stop laughing at the ridiculousness of the whole situation. Yeah, some of the comments included said, she's gonna win this case single handedly. And another said, hand to God, I did not do it. Bringing the humor. More people were just baffled that the cop simply didn't apologize and walk away.
Jose
Yeah, you would think you'd go, oh, my gosh, I am. You have a wonderful day, ma'.
Brooke
Am.
Jose
I am so sorry.
Brooke
People have that much of a problem admitting they're wrong.
Brooke (phone tap persona)
It is so wild.
Jose
You'd rather pull the power cord.
Brooke
He's like, no, you don't. You have a right hand.
Jeffrey
Let's go to your next laser story out of Beverage Bay. If you were a child in the 80s or 90s who spent any time with their grandparents, then you're probably familiar with Fresca, the old person soda.
Brooke
Ooh, yeah, dude, it was. And I love it. Still, I missed it.
Jeffrey
You may not have had it since then, but now you maybe should Cause an alcoholic version of Fresca just dropped. It's called Fresca Hard.
Brooke
I've been to it.
Jeffrey
It's 4.6 alcohol by volume with only 99 calories per can. Zero sugar.
Brooke
Nice.
Jeffrey
And it's available.
Brooke
That Fresca. That was Fresca's whole thing. It was always zero sugar.
Jose
Oh, really?
Brooke
Yeah.
Jose
I don't remember that.
Jeffrey
And it's available in several flavors. Classic grapefruit, citrus, pineapple citrus, and peach citrus.
Jose
Those all sound so good.
Alexis
Make sure grandma knows she's getting the alcohol.
Ashton's Dad
One.
Brooke
Oh, yeah, grandma knows.
Alexis
Okay.
Jeffrey
Yeah, it costs around eight. 18 per 12 pack.
Brooke
You're gonna say per can for a
Brooke (phone tap persona)
second, I was like, oh, my God.
Jeffrey
Big question. How do they taste?
Jose
Yeah.
Jeffrey
One beverage expert reviewed it and said it could be the new seltzer of the summer.
Jose
Truly sorry, I don't know what's going
Brooke
on with actual flavor. Cool.
Jeffrey
They say the grapefruit one does taste like classic senior citizen Fresca. But the new best flavor is peach citrus. And Alexis is going to volunteer and drink a few this weekend. And let us know from your perspective, Alexis, if you can remember how they taste.
Alexis
Got it.
Brooke
On it. Yep.
Jeffrey
Or just smell the vomit that comes out of the Uber on the ride home. And then you can tell Us.
Jose
Smells like grapefruit.
Brooke
Citrusy.
Jeffrey
Let's go to your final laser story out of Celebrity Corner. Just when Timothee Chalamet thought his life couldn't get any better, the Academy Award nominated actor who's dating Kylie Jenner just got the ultimate prize. A free Chipotle card.
Brooke
I think he can afford Chipotle.
Jeffrey
Yeah, that's not the point, Brooke. It's a status symbol. And Chipotle just surprised the A Lister T Shao with his very own coveted customized celebrity card.
Brooke
They have those? I didn't know that they were carrying those.
Jeffrey
Yeah, this exclusive VIP perk is reserved for a very small circle of athletes, musicians, creators, and super fans. But it's not a lifetime offer.
Brooke
Oh.
Jeffrey
The card grants the person free Chipotle for only a year.
Jose
Probably smart, because then if they're not popular after a year, then it's like,
Brooke
all right, do they still have to renew it? Do they still have to pay extra for guacamole?
Jose
Oh, I wonder.
Jeffrey
I don't think they do, though. After that, the Chipotle team reportedly reassesses the person's fame. How they use the card, and if they uphold the Chipotle way. Oh, and then they can decide whether or not to reissue them a new card or take it back.
Ashton
Dang.
Brooke
I mean, that would be like, what if your career's falling? There's, like, all this bad press about you, and then the final straw that breaks you is when Chipotle takes your card away.
Jeffrey
Oh, my gosh. VH1's behind the Music.
Jose
Yeah, all I have is my Sizzlers gold card.
Jeffrey
So what did Timothy do to deserve such a high privilege? Yeah, he simply posted an Instagram story eating a burrito bowl inside a Chipotle restaurant one time.
Brooke
That's it.
Jeffrey
Once. And got rewarded with the card.
Jose
I guarantee it.
Brooke
Dude, you could sing eight Chipotle parody songs and you still wouldn't get you a card.
Jeffrey
No, they would ban me from all their stores. And, man, if that's all it takes to get free food, I bet this guy has an idea because he just took a picture of himself rolling inside the gravy pot in an old country buffet. I mean, that should be worth something. At least a free biscuit.
Brooke
I'm sure they have a celebrity card.
Jeffrey
And that sound means laser stories has come to an end for the day. We'll do it again same time on Monday.
Show Announcer
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Jeffrey
Does anybody miss those old 90s sitcoms with the cheesy punchlines and the canned laughter? And the dysfunctional family that just can't get along, but they still love each other in the end.
Brooke
That's right.
Brooke (phone tap persona)
Oh, man.
Jose
We all have simple jobs and we have a 10 bedroom mansion and quirky.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jose
And we're all great.
Jeffrey
Life is so great. Well, this next segment is kind of like that, but also none of it. Because our technical director, Ashton is moving back home with mom and dad due to financial reasons.
Brooke
Cue the laughter.
Jeffrey
So we sent an audio recorder with him to document their first family meeting.
Brooke
Oh my God, I'm so excited.
Jeffrey
We're playing you the clips coming up right after this. It's time for our brand new segment on the show. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Brooke (phone tap persona)
I am like stupid excited.
Jeffrey
I mean, it's not too excited. It could be a one and doner. We'll see. But let's hit the theme song for our technical director Ashton's journey moving back home with his parents. Well, Ashton's back a grown man you see he's back with his family
Jose
with
Jeffrey
flamin red hair and a mighty light frame what a shame he's broken he's
Ashton
home with a grin on his face
Jeffrey
He's Ashton the man yeah, Ashton the
Rebecca
man,
Jeffrey
that's right, he's back home. Ashton, you've been there for about a week now. So scale 1 to 10, how much are you loving it?
Ashton
I would give it about a five.
Jose
First week is gonna be the best week.
Brooke
I don't know. That's kind of mid. That makes sense.
Jeffrey
There's definitely some positives and negatives that I'm sure he's balancing. Right, Ashton?
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
Yeah.
Ashton
A positive would be just having more
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
food in the house.
Brooke
That is fucked up.
Jeffrey
That's true.
Ashton
You don't have to lie.
Jeffrey
Thank you. Okay, what about negatives?
Ashton
The negative is just, maybe just losing all of my privacy and independence and manhood.
Brooke
But more food.
Jeffrey
You weren't using your manhood very much
Alexis
before anyone sharing the shower with your aunt is going.
Jeffrey
Yeah, well, we really do appreciate you doing this, Ashton. And it's kind of a social experiment of sorts that we're trying here. Everybody in the family agreed, along with your parents, to record your very first family meeting at the dinner table. Because it's been years since you lived with them. And even though, yes, they are your parents, they're more like your roommates now.
Rebecca
Now.
Jeffrey
Oh, and apparently everybody thought it was okay to discuss pet peeves that you had with each other.
Brooke
Oh, goodness.
Jeffrey
Just as in the spirit of healthy communication, setting boundaries, apparently your mom had one for you, a pet peeve. So let's listen.
Ashton's Mom
I think I would have to say at 3:30 in the morning.
Brooke
Oh,
Ashton's Mom
when you drop the soap in the shower. I would say that that's a pet peeve.
Ashton
Can you elaborate? Yeah.
Ashton's Mom
Why can't you hold on to it?
Ashton
Why? Okay, well, it's slippery. It's soap, you know, but you're an
Ashton's Dad
adult and we did just remodel that bathroom.
Ashton's Mom
You're gonna break the bathroom.
Brooke
I say it wasn't a bar of soap, it was a bottle of soap that you dropped. Is that right, Ashton?
Ashton
No, it was a bar.
Jose
Yeah.
Brooke
Oh my God. I don't. I'm surprised that he showers before work. I guess I should have been able
Ashton
to tell Brooke is the one saying the I smell.
Jeffrey
Okay, well, if you're just joining us, we're doing a special segment on our show following our technical director Ashton on his journey to live back home with his parents in his late twenties. Cause financially kind of needs it. And we're playing audio from their first family meeting as roommates. Anyway, your mom just aired her grievances about your quote, reckless soap play. What about your dad?
Jose
That.
Jeffrey
Let's see what pet peeves he's dealing with.
Ashton's Dad
Yeah, that's. That's interesting. When we talk about pet peeves, normally you're thinking of something. Somebody does that. Yeah. They're leaving dishes in the sink or leaving your underwear around on the floor. But you don't do any of that. So I mean, I don't know.
Ashton
Thank you.
Ashton's Dad
But really there isn't any pet peeves. But if I had to say one thing, it would be that is only happens when you're working. You. I don't think you eat enough. And so when you come home you're. I think the term is hangry. You can be hangry because you're hungry. And so I suppose if I had to say maybe you, you're doing better with your diet is what I would say. You need to eat something at work.
Ashton
Yeah, so we said pet peeves, not character attacks father.
Alexis
You sound so much like your dad.
Show Announcer
Crazy.
Jeffrey
Also, you call your dad father.
Ashton
It's a family meeting, Jeff.
Brooke
I did not expect that. I have experienced hangry, Ashton. And your dad has a point. Oh, like it's good when you carry around granola bars and those little applesauce pouches that you like.
Ashton
Yeah, you know, maybe towards the end of the day I could see that, bro.
Jeffrey
Yeah, I mean he did suggest you bring leftovers to work so he's a solution oriented guy. He doesn't want you to be hangry. You sound like you have two very loving, very caring parents.
Logan
Yeah.
Brooke
Yeah. You gotta remember this is a big adjustment for them too, because their privacy is also out the window. You don't know what mom and dad were doing when you weren't at home.
Jeffrey
Why did you say it that way? Just say it.
Brooke
He's not the only adult in the house.
Jeffrey
Oh, that time. The soap's being dropped on purpose. But look, we have a lot of audio. I can't play all of it. I'm just gonna summarize what happened, though, before I play this final clip.
Brooke
Okay.
Jeffrey
Because things definitely devolved between finger pointing and accusations. No, mostly on Ashton's part.
Brooke
If I'm being really honest.
Jeffrey
He has a lot of grievances.
Alexis
He was angry.
Jeffrey
He would ask what it was. So somebody starts accusing the other about. There's five boxes of cereal in the pantry, and one person is eating and leaving just like, barely any left for anyone else.
Jose
Just throw it away.
Jeffrey
And apparently, I guess that's Ashton's mom that does that. And Ashton, there's a chip situation, too. What is that? Yes.
Ashton
She will not finish a bag of chips. And she'll leave, like, eight chips in every single bag of chips that we
Jeffrey
have in the pantry.
Ashton
And there's, like, six bags of chips.
Jose
It's so she doesn't feel like she ate the last chip.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
I guess not.
Alexis
But you go in thinking you got some chips in there.
Brooke
Yeah, and they're just the crumbs at the bottom.
Ashton
Oh, man, it drives me up a wall.
Jeffrey
Well, no wonder he's so hangry. There's no chips left. Yeah, your mom is so even keel. Look, in the end, your mom said she had enough with the accusations and she came straight for your dad.
Ashton
Whoa.
Jeffrey
And I'm gonna play that clip. It's pretty short, but let's listen.
Rebecca
Yeah.
Ashton's Mom
Whenever he wears sweats his. Whatever those things are.
Ashton
Oh, the drawstrings.
Ashton's Mom
The drawstrings.
Ashton's Dad
Oh, I thought we were talking about something else.
Ashton's Mom
The drawstrings are always sticking out.
Jeffrey
Oh, wow.
Brooke
Wait, is this.
Jose
I didn't want to be in the middle of that, but that was a pretty. That was pretty upsetting.
Ashton's Dad
It was.
Brooke
This is the. The height of your guys family drama.
Jeffrey
You've got drawstring issues. Rambunctious soap play. How does anybody sleep in that house?
Jose
To be honest, you guys are the
Jeffrey
most pleasant man I've ever heard.
Jose
Like father.
Brooke
I didn't mean to do that.
Jeffrey
Leave some chips for me, mother.
Brooke
I feel like the wholesome family is back again.
Jose
It is.
Jeffrey
The 90s have returned and I'm looking forward to the next family meeting when apparently their aunt comes to stay with them and Ashton has to switch off beds with her.
Alexis
I can't wait till we hear Ashton get grounded for the first time again.
Jeffrey
So much more to come. That was the first edition of Ashton's Back home with his parents. Your phone tap's coming up right after this. For today's phone tap, we needed someone who could pull off a snobby, pretentious mom.
Jose
I wonder, Jeff, who here could do that?
Brooke
Is this a Jose one then is
Jose
it a digital Jake one?
Jeffrey
Jose, maybe. Me, I could do it. But spotlight Alexis with mom energy. No, this is not gonna happen.
Jose
Daughter energy.
Alexis
Don't catch me like that.
Jeffrey
I guess it's gonna have to be Brooke. And today she's posing as a mom taking her six year old daughter to another girl's birthday. And let's just say mama is very particular about how things should go down there. It's your phone tap right now.
Show Announcer
Brooke and Jeffrey's phone taps on the 20s.
Ainsley
Hello?
Brooke (phone tap persona)
Hi, is this Rebecca?
Rebecca
Yes, it's Rebecca.
Brooke (phone tap persona)
Hi, this is Trina, I'm Taylor's mom.
Rebecca
Oh, hi, how are you?
Brooke (phone tap persona)
Yeah, great. Taylor's so excited about the birthday party. Yeah.
Rebecca
Oh great. We're really excited to have her.
Brooke (phone tap persona)
It's so funny that we've been at the same school now for a couple of years and I don't think we've ever met.
Brooke
Wow.
Rebecca
No, I was just thinking the same thing. I don't think we have met.
Brooke (phone tap persona)
Isn't that crazy?
Rebecca
Yeah, but you will. I mean, if you can, you should totally stick around the party and we can hang out a little bit if you want a good time.
Brooke (phone tap persona)
Yeah, about that, I just want to make sure because every other party Taylor's been to this year has them. You will have a sugar free cake, right?
Rebecca
A sugar free cake? No.
Brooke (phone tap persona)
Is that a joke? Is that funny to you? Is that funny?
Rebecca
Is the sugar free cake?
Brooke (phone tap persona)
Yeah, that. You're not gonna have one. That's a joke, right?
Rebecca
No, I. Oh no, we're gonna have an ice cream cake. So I'm pretty sure there's sugar in that. But I mean it's her birthday, so that's a disappointment.
Brooke (phone tap persona)
Okay, I should probably also take this time to tell you that Taylor's also in her blue phase, so she only eats blue foods. Okay, you'll be providing those, right?
Rebecca
Like blueberries?
Brooke (phone tap persona)
Oh yes, yes, blueberries, blue corn tortilla chips. I even let the Mountain Dew voltage slide every once in a while.
Rebecca
What?
Brooke (phone tap persona)
Blue dyed Mac and cheese? That would work. I mean, I don't want you to go out of your way, but you should go out of your way.
Ainsley
I mean, I.
Brooke (phone tap persona)
Last month she was in her star phase. Star fruits. Had to cut all her chicken nuggets into star shapes.
Rebecca
Oh, my God.
Brooke (phone tap persona)
Doctor recommended.
Rebecca
This is all new to me, by the way.
Brooke (phone tap persona)
I'm so sorry to interrupt, but looking at your invit, it says there's going to be pony rides there.
Rebecca
Yes, fun. Hopefully that's okay with Taylor. And pony rides are okay for what she needs.
Brooke (phone tap persona)
Oh, it's so great. I mean, as long as you're okay that Taylor brings her own live pony.
Rebecca
I'm sorry.
Brooke (phone tap persona)
The only reason I say that is because Taylor's pony is gluten free. Makes sense now. I'm sure
Rebecca
that's a new one. I've never. Never. That's definitely.
Brooke (phone tap persona)
It's just. I can't trust those dodgy pony rental places. They probably have a meth lab in the back behind the stables.
Rebecca
Oh, my God. No.
Brooke (phone tap persona)
I wish that was a joke. I wish.
Rebecca
Well, I can assure you that this is a legit place. It's a really nice family farm that does the pony rental. So there's no meth labs.
Brooke (phone tap persona)
Yeah, but the ponies aren't gluten free, are they?
Rebecca
Again, I'm not sure what that means, what a gluten free pony is even.
Brooke (phone tap persona)
Rebecca, I'm sensing stress.
Rebecca
I mean, I am definitely, yeah, getting a little stressed.
Brooke
You know what?
Brooke (phone tap persona)
You go ahead and be stressed. But listen, you can just put me in charge of everything from here on out and we can make some great improvements to your party.
Rebecca
No, I might be a little stressed, but I'm totally fine. Everything's on track for my. My daughter's party. We're all set. Thank you.
Brooke
Right.
Brooke (phone tap persona)
But I'm the mother of a gifted child. Taylor's gifted. Oh, did you know that?
Rebecca
I'm sure she is. And my child is gifted as well,
Ainsley
so we're all set here.
Brooke (phone tap persona)
That's the funniest thing you've said.
Rebecca
Excuse me?
Brooke (phone tap persona)
Taylor already has plans to recite the Gettysburg Address at the party for everyone's entertainment. She knows it by heart.
Rebecca
That's not necessary. That's. You know, we're gonna have some other entertainment, so I don't think we're gonna have time for that.
Brooke (phone tap persona)
You know what? I'm reading between the lines here and I get it. Your daughter feels threatened by Taylor, doesn't she what? That's too bad. Jealousy starts early.
Rebecca
No, she's not jealous, I can assure you. And I don't want this whole, like, vibe, whatever's happening here right now, to be a part of my daughter's birthday. This is supposed to be a fun day.
Brooke (phone tap persona)
I am just so thankful you didn't invite that pretentious elitist from the radio show, Brick Fox.
Logan
What?
Brooke (phone tap persona)
Gross.
Rebecca
Who is that?
Brooke (phone tap persona)
Brick Fox? I heard she demands to bring her own working carousel to every children's event so the saddles don't smell like butt.
Rebecca
I. I'm sorry. I. I don't know who that is.
Brooke (phone tap persona)
I am sorry, too, because you don't know her. And I just realized I am her. And this is actually a prank phone call.
Rebecca
Oh, my God.
Brooke (phone tap persona)
This is actually Brooke from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Does that ring a bell now?
Rebecca
Oh, no.
Ainsley
Yes.
Rebecca
You have got to be kidding me right now.
Brooke (phone tap persona)
Your sister Sherry set you up.
Rebecca
Oh, my God.
Brooke (phone tap persona)
She said that you recently moved your kid to a private school and you're getting some, we'll say, interesting requests from the parents about the party.
Jeffrey
I am.
Rebecca
Oh, geez. I was just losing my mind.
Brooke (phone tap persona)
Yeah, because you didn't get a gluten free pony. It's like, what kind of mother are you?
Jose
Brook and Jeffrey's phone taps on the 20s.
Show Announcer
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Jeffrey
If a co worker ever invites you to come over to their party, typically you say, oh, yeah, cool, I can't wait. And then you'll make up some dumb excuse at the last second in order to bail.
Jose
Oh, my God.
Jeffrey
At least that's what we all do. Whenever Brooke tries to lure us over
Brooke
to her house, I'm like, right here, Jeff.
Jeffrey
Oh, I mean, we can't wait for Saturday, Brooke.
Brooke
Okay.
Jeffrey
I'm so excited.
Jose
I'm totally gonna be there.
Alexis
I hope I don't get food poisoning again.
Jeffrey
Oh, no.
Jose
I am eating Raw's.
Jeffrey
I hate you all. Well, one of our listeners actually showed up to his co workers party.
Jose
Good.
Jeffrey
And it had one of the stranger themes that we've ever heard of. Literally the last place that you'd expect to meet somebody romantically. But it did happen. And you're gonna hear it in your brand new Second date update right after this.
Brooke
You guys aren't invited anyway.
Show Announcer
Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Brooke
Second Date update.
Jeffrey
When you meet the someone in real life at a party, it's actually kind of nice because you two aren't the center of attention. You know, it's usually like a friend of A friend who introduces you. You get to chat for a minute, feel each other out. It's low stakes, but in this case, apparently our listener Logan met someone at a different kind of party. Not like a birthday party or a house party. I really hope that you're not going to say furry party, because then we're going to have to make this a podcast exclusive, Logan, but what kind of party was it that. That you met this woman at?
Logan
It was a divorce party.
Jeffrey
A divorce party?
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
What is that?
Jose
Do we still make exclusive?
Brooke
Isn't that like the opposite of a wedding shower?
Logan
Basically. You know, one of my friends from work was getting divorced, and she invited a bunch of people, actually, from the office, which I would never invite my work colleagues to that, but she did. She wanted us to come.
Ashton
Okay.
Jose
Okay.
Jeffrey
What do you do?
Jose
She knows you.
Alexis
Is it like a bachelorette party? Like, you go out and wear a sash that says, like, just divorced?
Brooke
Oh, that'd be cute.
Logan
Yeah. It's like celebrating being an eligible receiver.
Jeffrey
Okay, so, okay, your work friend invited you over to this divorce party she was having, and you met someone.
Logan
Yes, the lady who was getting divorced. I met some of her friends, and one of them was Ainsley, and we really hit it off.
Brooke
Interesting. I mean, I would guess there'd probably be quite a few single people at a divorce party.
Jeffrey
So it is an interesting dynamic because you're celebrating a relationship ending while at the same time starting a brand new
Brooke
one or looking to.
Jeffrey
Looking to. Right in front of their face.
Jose
Also, I wonder what's the room like? Because most married people are friends with other married people, so is it a lot of married coup?
Brooke
Well, that's why she invited the co workers.
Jose
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Mix it up. What was it like hanging out with Ainsley at the party?
Logan
You know, we hung out twice one time at the party, and we were actually. We were going back and forth, laughing about the burn box, which.
Jeffrey
What's that? Burn box.
Jose
Burn.
Logan
Yeah. It's basically like a little fire where you literally torch all the photos from the divorced girl's wedding.
Brooke
Oh.
Jeffrey
Oh.
Jose
I feel like this has been a thing, right? Like a burn part. I've heard about this.
Brooke
Yeah. Okay.
Jeffrey
Thousands and thousands of dollars worth of photography up in flames, literally.
Brooke
That's an interesting way to meet someone. Are you, like. So do you still. Do you still believe in love? Tyson?
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
You want to know this before I
Jose
burn all our memories?
Jeffrey
Oh, my God.
Logan
You know, we're selling the poss of fresh new love.
Brooke
Okay.
Logan
We were. They started playing all these breakup songs. We were dancing and we actually kissed at the party.
Rebecca
Okay.
Jeffrey
Wow.
Brooke
I mean, divorce just gets you in the mood, you know?
Jeffrey
Yeah.
Alexis
Never heard that sentence before.
Jeffrey
Brooke says so. Okay, you got a kiss at the party. That's nice. And then you were able to do another date.
Logan
Yeah, so actually, when we met up for our date, I just. I could not get this woman out of my mind. I just. I went in for it and I kissed her again and it was great.
Brooke
Wow, that's bold.
Jose
And she liked it?
Logan
Yes.
Brooke
Calling him back.
Jose
So she didn't like slap you afterwards or something? Or push you away?
Logan
I mean, she was into it. She kissed me back and we went on our date, grabbed some ice cream, and we went back to my place and watched some Netflix.
Brooke
Okay, when did she leave?
Logan
Let's just say it was a pretty long Netflix chill sesh.
Jeffrey
Okay, you watched a multi part docu series.
Brooke
Yeah, that makes sense.
Jeffrey
Okay, that's. Oh yeah, for me, that's a 15 minute session. I'm assuming it's the same for you.
Brooke
I feel like that's even a little bit too. You crushed my record, jet.
Jeffrey
Yeah, really had to do with get my energy drink going on for that one.
Logan
Yeah, no, I'll just say it definitely lasted a little longer than that. But it ended with a kiss and it was a great time. But now she's not really answering my text messages and I have no idea why.
Brooke
I mean, it sounds like when you talk about her, you sound giddy. Honestly.
Jeffrey
Yeah, it's like creepy giddy. In a good way is what she does. Yes.
Jose
She wants to pounce and kiss her.
Brooke
I know. You just sound excited. Like that's like a really big bummer that she wouldn't be calling you back.
Jose
I mean, if I'm in your position, I'm so bummed. You have like two magical experiences with this girl.
Logan
Yes, I'm bummed.
Brooke
Yeah, that's why he's on the phone with us.
Jeffrey
Okay, that makes sense. Well, we're going to do our job for you. We'll come back and call this woman and figure out why she doesn't want to hang out with the guy who can go more than 15 minutes in a Netflix session.
Logan
Fifteen?
Jeffrey
I know more than that's amazing. They braggart in the room. We'll do it with your second date update right after this. Hold on.
Show Announcer
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Brooke
Second date update.
Jeffrey
Nothing says true love like burning someone else's old wedding photos in a fire. That's how our listener Logan met Ainsley. At a mutual friend's divorce. Party. And who would have thought putting the final dagger into someone else's dying marriage could ignite a brand new romantic fire in your life?
Brooke
I mean, here we are.
Jose
It's almost meant to be, Jeff.
Jeffrey
Almost. But that flame has dimmed significantly since their Netflix and chill sesh that lasted well over 15 minutes, as we've learned. So what's really going on? Is she actually in a secret marriage? Is she really three children standing on each other's shoulders in a trench coat just saying anything is possible? Are you open to possibilities, Logan?
Logan
I'm open.
Brooke
Okay.
Jeffrey
I mean, even if it's three kids, I'm open. Okay.
Brooke
I will say maybe you're looking for a relationship and she wasn't, is my only thought. Like, she's at a divorce party. She's probably not in the mindset thinking boyfriend.
Jose
That's actually a great. I didn't even think about that.
Logan
I mean, we didn't have that conversation, per se, but she was. I seem to be pretty open to meeting people, in my opinion.
Brooke
The way you said that.
Jeffrey
Does she want to meet any people? Seriously, though, that's the real question.
Brooke
Guess we're about to find out.
Jeffrey
Let's find out if she even answers the phone. I'm going to dial her number right now. We'll see if Ainsley picks up. Here we go.
Ainsley
Hello?
Jeffrey
Hey, is this Ainsley?
Ainsley
This is Ainsley.
Rebecca
Who is this?
Jeffrey
Hey, Ainsley. This is a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Jose
Hi, Ainsley. Good morning, guys. You guys got to speak up, too. It just sounds like it's just me and Jeff here.
Jeffrey
We're having fun here.
Brooke
Fine.
Jeffrey
Some of us are having fun.
Jose
Yeah, some of us are.
Brooke
Hi, Ainsley. Welcome to the show.
Ainsley
Thank you.
Jeffrey
This is a segment we do. It's called A Second Date Update.
Jose
Yeah.
Jeffrey
More information. You got it. So this is a segment where we try to help listeners who've been out on a date with somebody, and afterwards they're not getting a call back, we can step in to try and help them figure out if there's a reason why.
Ainsley
Okay.
Jeffrey
I don't think she's getting it.
Brooke
Brooke, you have to tell her who called.
Jose
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Oh, this is about a guy named Logan that you recently went out with.
Ainsley
Oh, wow.
Jose
Oh, there it is.
Jeffrey
I think she's gonna get it now.
Brooke
Yes. You met him at the divorce party.
Jose
Yeah.
Brooke
Which is a wild place to meet somebody, huh?
Rebecca
Yes, it is.
Ainsley
Yes, it is.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
Okay.
Jeffrey
But as wild as it was, it seemed to work out because you two met up for a date from the sounds of it. A walk through the park, some ice cream, some Netflix.
Ainsley
Yes, we did.
Brooke
Oh, my God. Okay, so you sound excited, like you're smiling or embarrassed. No. I don't know. Am I reading that right or.
Ainsley
My face is definitely a little red right now. In the beginning, I was feeling the same way. I was feeling very strongly about him.
Brooke
Okay. Okay.
Jeffrey
That was the beginning. But what changed?
Ainsley
I don't know what he told you about our second hangout. I don't know.
Jeffrey
You know, it's basically the recap that I gave you, that you met up, you went through a walk through the park, you guys had ice cream together, went back to his place to watch Netflix and etc. Things happened. Good things.
Brooke
He didn't say that. He said there was a nice kiss.
Jeffrey
Okay, I'm trying not to go into too much graphic detail about what he
Brooke
told us, but he didn't tell us anything graphic.
Jeffrey
It felt pretty graphic on my end. It was graphic.
Brooke
The guy told us nothing. He just said he had a nice evening with you.
Jeffrey
But the way he said it was, like, nice. No, dude, in a good way.
Ainsley
Well, it was, but I don't know if he told you about it. Conversation that we had while we were watching a movie and.
Brooke
Nope.
Jeffrey
Yeah, we're not aware of that conversation.
Ainsley
Okay, well, I think he tried to compliment me because he was giving me lots of compliments, but at one point he said that I'm just so used to hanging out with intense gym girls, and I'm so glad you're not that.
Jeffrey
I'm sorry. Intense gym girls?
Ainsley
Yeah. Yeah.
Brooke
So, I mean, yeah, sure, you could jump to the conclusion that that may be backhanded, like, you don't work out, but, like, that's not obviously what someone would mean, right?
Jeffrey
What do you think he meant?
Ainsley
It did seem genuine. So I was trying to hear him out, and I really think he meant it in a kind way. But then he kept going and he said, I just want to be with a girl who I can share dessert with and who likes a little sweet treat.
Jose
That does make it worse.
Ainsley
I'm like, listen, he's not wrong. But to me, I'm like, oh, he just likes hanging out with me because I'm this girl who likes movies and ice creams and cookies and cakes and, like, that's it.
Brooke
That's not a bad girl to be. That's a girl. I am.
Rebecca
I mean, it just.
Ainsley
It just felt a little off. And I've held off texting him back because I'm like, that didn't feel great.
Brooke
I bet he would be really bummed to hear you took it that way.
Jose
Yeah, I'm sure he would be upset to know he upset you.
Jeffrey
Yeah, and we can know that for sure because he is on the other line of this phone call, listening and waiting to talk to you.
Logan
Yes, I am here. And I just want to make it clear, like, that was totally a compliment. I enjoyed that about you. It's a good thing.
Ainsley
Oh, my gosh.
Brooke
Maybe we don't double down immediately.
Jeffrey
Yeah, I don't even know.
Ainsley
Listen, this is super embarrassing. I didn't know you were on the line.
Logan
No, yeah, I've been here the whole time.
Jeffrey
But, Logan, you hear what she's saying? Like, how she read what your comment was?
Logan
Yes. I'm sorry you took it that way. I just wanted to say, like, I've been with gym girls in the past who. Yes. These meal plans that they're on, they're just so exhausting. It's like chicken and veggies all the time. So I. You know, I enjoy someone I could go out with and can grab ice cream with and have a cheat meal. And it's. It's nice.
Jose
It's not making this bad.
Jeffrey
I know. Is that a compliment?
Jose
Yeah, I think so.
Logan
Yes.
Jose
It's like someone being like, oh, I only date models. It's so refreshing to not date a perfect person.
Brooke
Yeah, well, dude, what do you expect? I mean, you can't have a perfect body and eat all the things like, you don't get it. All right, sure, but you don't have
Jeffrey
to say it to their face.
Brooke
Yeah, I don't know. I like my men with a little bit of, you know, something to grab on to.
Jose
You like a little dad bod, maybe.
Jeffrey
I mean, Ainsley, how. How are you feeling right now?
Ainsley
I'm a little embarrassed, but I believe him. I know He's. He. There's no meanness behind what he's saying, but it's still kind of like, oh,
Rebecca
and, you know, I feel.
Logan
I feel really bad about this. Can I send you, like, a cookie bouquet or something to your place?
Jeffrey
Well, okay.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
I don't know.
Ainsley
You know, I like things other than dessert.
Jose
Yeah, I know.
Jeffrey
The way you're insinuating.
Brooke
I think he's trying to be funny. Like, that was supposed to be a joke, right?
Logan
I mean, when we were at the divorce party, like, there were a lot of really good treats there. You know, we were having some of the cookies that they had there, and you. You were going to town. You seem like you really enjoy It.
Ainsley
Oh, my God.
Jose
My little cookie lover.
Logan
I love them too. They were so good.
Jose
Oh, sure.
Alexis
No.
Jeffrey
Yes.
Jose
That makes it feel better.
Jeffrey
Definitely.
Brooke
I think just a general rule is that we just don't comment on what people eat. Maybe it's just a good rule. Yeah.
Jeffrey
Yeah. But I mean, what's the fun with that, though?
Brooke
This sounds like the type of situation where you just order the fries and then you see what happens.
Jose
Yes. You know what's going to happen and
Jeffrey
don't say anything about them.
Brooke
Yeah. Don't comment on how many you've taken.
Alexis
No.
Brooke (phone tap persona)
Compared to gym girls.
Brooke
Yes.
Logan
I could completely do that. Would that make you feel comfortable, Ainsley? Like if I order fries in front of you,
Jose
it comes out so weird with.
Ainsley
You know what? Maybe we just don't talk about the food.
Jose
I don't think he understands yet.
Brooke
Okay, but that. That sounded like potential future talk.
Jeffrey
Let's not talk about food anymore. Let's just talk about the possibility of you two meeting up for another date. Chemistry. Because if Ainsley is open to it, we would pay for that second date meetup.
Brooke (phone tap persona)
Pretty sure.
Brooke
Gift card to the Cheesecake Factory.
Jose
Candies if you want.
Jeffrey
I don't know. We'll find something that works for you, Ainsley. But what do you think? Giving it one more shot with Logan.
Ainsley
I appreciate all the effort he's gone to. To contact me.
Rebecca
Yeah.
Ainsley
That's why I'm open to doing something else besides eating with him.
Brooke
Be so self conscious now.
Ainsley
Hey.
Logan
No. This is like the best news I've gotten all day. And I'm honestly a guy that likes a sweet treat, too, so. Hey, you know, I get it.
Brooke
Yeah, it's not all about dessert.
Alexis
Nope.
Brooke
Just order it and get two spoons.
Jose
Order for yourself.
Ashton
All right.
Jeffrey
And it's refreshing for Ainsley to not have to go out with those Super Gym bro models too. I'm sure. Right, Ainsley?
Ainsley
That is true. Yeah.
Jose
Your boyfriend will put his face into the pie.
Logan
Wait, what do you mean by that?
Jeffrey
That now he's clueing it.
Show Announcer
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Jeffrey
I'm glad that they said yes to a second date. Don't get me wrong.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeffrey
But I do feel weird now about sending them a gift card to Applebee's or Cheesecake Factory.
Brooke
Yeah, you should.
Jeffrey
Even Hooters. I just don't feel good about it.
Jose
Yeah, the wings will be okay.
Jeffrey
I just wish we could send them someplace where food isn't the focus. Like a gift card to look. Lowe's or to Office Max. Yeah, that's so boring.
Jose
Though.
Jeffrey
I know.
Jose
Let's take me to one of those, like, skydive places that you can go in the tube and just shoot you in the air.
Brooke
Let me take this woman out a couple of times and show her how to eat right and show her that it's okay.
Jeffrey
Okay. No shame in that game.
Brooke
There's no shame in eating.
Jeffrey
Yeah.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Personally, I just love that we're not a radio show that's all obsessed with being funny and helping people and making a positive difference in the world.
Ashton
World.
Jose
I thought we did.
Jeffrey
Those shows are annoying. We don't do that again.
Brooke
That was positive.
Jose
That's part of the reason I work here is because of that.
Jeffrey
Oh, well, yeah, totally. It was a compliment.
Jose
Oh, different motivation.
Brooke
You know what? I don't think it does feel good anymore.
Jeffrey
Well, I don't know how to feel. Maybe you can tell us how to feel if you go listen to our podcast. You can comment, like, subscribe wherever you find them. They're up online at Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Morning.
Show Announcer
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Jeffrey
It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And because I sing on the show every single week.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Would I consider myself a quote unquote artist?
Jose
Well, you're on the radio and you
Brooke
write the song every week.
Jeffrey
Yeah, I mean, maybe I do. Cause I was just contacted by a popular grocery chain who told me they want to ditch their 80s yacht rock soundtrack and instead put in a mix of my parody songs at their stores.
Brooke
I like it.
Rebecca
It's hu.
Brooke
Dude.
Jeffrey
I was definitely humbled and grateful. But the question did come up. Why?
Brooke
Uhhuh.
Jose
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Well, apparently they found more men ages 25 to 54 by larger cucumbers. Whenever they hear my voice play.
Brooke
Dude.
Jose
So big cucumbers getting involved.
Brooke
I bet the packaged meat section is also a hot se.
Jeffrey
I don't know if you have those stats, but.
Ashton
Oh, no.
Brooke
Flying off the just my guess.
Jeffrey
You can't lie with the statistics. And grocery stores are making more money. Dudes are buying bigger cucumbers. Wow. So we're in a good spot for my brand new song of the week.
Jose
By the way, stock up on cucumbers. He's about to sing.
Jeffrey
They're about to be gone soon after I do it. Right after this, it's time for my song of the week. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Brooke
Your favorite time, Jeff. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jeffrey
Do you realize how long I've been doing this?
Brooke
Oh, long.
Jeffrey
I almost didn't believe it when I looked back. We're talking me Singing every single Friday for over a decade, going back 13, 14 years.
Brooke
Remember when we first started? You just sang a song that was weird. Why did we do that?
Jeffrey
I don't know.
Brooke
And then it was so strange.
Jeffrey
And then it turned into whatever it's become now for 14 years, it's older than Brooke's entire second family.
Rebecca
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Literally, at this point, I feel like there's nothing I have left to sing about.
Ashton's Mom
Right.
Jeffrey
I started with yams. Young athletic males playing high school football. And then last week I did Ashton moving back in with his parents. I mean, some would say, Jeff, there is absolutely nothing left. What other topics could you possibly sing about?
Jose
Sing about. There's nothing to say. Sing about.
Jeffrey
Well, yes, there is one thing left. Oh. A milestone of sorts that I prayed I would never reach. Cuz this morning will mark my 1000th song that I have sang to our radio.
Brooke
What artist sings a thousand songs without getting signed to a record deal?
Jeffrey
Good point. Puts me at a spot special category all by myself.
Brooke
That's incredible. You just keep going no matter what people say.
Jeffrey
Yeah. Or no matter how much I ask to stop. So is it selfish of me to sing a song about my own shameful achievements?
Brooke
No, not at all. Do it. Let's go.
Jeffrey
Unfortunately, at this time of the year, there's really not a whole lot of other options for me out there.
Brooke
That's huge. Honestly, Jeff, like, without sarcasm, you should be celebrated for that.
Jose
Very impressive, bro.
Jeffrey
Is literally the only thing I could come up with. That's why instead of singing. Instead of singing the hit by Kelly Clarkson, since youe've Been Gone. Yeah. It's young Jeffries. My 1000th song.
Brooke
Yes.
Jeffrey
Yay. I'm gonna advise my co hosts who've been with me for this entire journey. Please do not shed a tear. It's only gonna make you look bad on camera. And we can't afford that. So I will point when I'm ready for song number 1,000.
Jose
Wow.
Jeffrey
What is happening to my life? Here we go. I'll point one out.
Ashton
Ready?
Jeffrey
Point. Here's the thing. It's 9pm and all I want to do is go to bed. But I'm here writing this song. Why did I take this job? I'm trying to think of words that rhyme for the frickin wonder thousandth time. Even Weird Al's like, come on. I've done parodies on everything from Tiger King to Payless Shoes. I even covered both the bankruptcies of
Ashton
Bed, Bath and Beyond. I'm running out of stuff to satire. I Think you suffered enough? By the end I'm out of breath like I ran a marathon.
Jeffrey
It's my 1000th song. Creatively my mind is gone more blocked up than that straight in Iran and yet they asked for more songs. My parents thought I'd go the med school way or engineer and be a space tycoon. Instead I majored in psychology and now
Ashton
I sing hockey songs. But my voice always cracks at the worst time. My timing is not good. Oh good God. Here's the part I can't sing it
Jeffrey
all Hobotto tunes on.
Ashton
My voice was not built for this. Cause his part's way too high. How does Kelly Clarkson do it again and again and again and again and again? Oh no.
Jeffrey
Oh, I think I pulled another throat muscle. Ashton, get out the big tub of Bengay. You're gonna have to rub me down in the wellness room again. I'll be waiting for you.
Jose
Okay.
Ashton
Cause it's my 1000 song. I've made the Billboard chart zero time keep charging along why God? Jose laughs brought your smile and Alexis LeBoss what'll it take to make this segment die young Devin that young gray hair but next week they'll drag me back cause it's in my contract til AI take my job
Jeffrey
it's my 1000 signs yeah. How's it gone on this long? My golden pipes turned to bronze. No, don't do that. That was so good.
Brooke
Why does your misery bring me so much joy? That was so great.
Jeffrey
I never wanted it to come to this.
Brooke
It was the most heartfelt performance I think you've ever had.
Jeffrey
It was very true to me.
Alexis
There was a lot of passion.
Jeffrey
It was.
Alexis
Yeah.
Brooke
Are you broken?
Jeffrey
Yeah, a little Self loathing does body goods.
Ashton
Yeah.
Brooke
That was so congratulations.
Jeffrey
My 1000th song.
Brooke
Those Billboard charts, they don't know.
Jeffrey
I was hoping that would be my last, but it's probably going to go on for another thousand songs, so.
Ashton's Mom
That's right.
Jeffrey
All right, you can text in 78592 and tell me what you thought about the song of the week. And we're going to post the 1000th anniversary of the song of the week up on our socials, on Tick tock, on Instagram, on YouTube, on all the places.
Alexis
You're tired, aren't you?
Jeffrey
I'm exhausted.
Brooke
You're a little sleepy.
Jeffrey
Let's just end this segment for the day and move on.
Show Announcer
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Jeffrey
Carrie is back. She's 01. Played Brooke a few months ago and said she got a couple tough questions. Her heart was racing a little bit. She was nervous. Nervous. So she's taken precautions this time around.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeffrey
And did an EpiPen straight to the chest right before we play. Carrie, how you feeling? You still standing?
Ainsley
I. I'm standing and I'm feeling better this time.
Brooke
Wow, that's a refreshing way to start the morning. Most people go with coffee, Carrie.
Jose
Yeah. You may want to keep going. Take maybe some penicillin, you know, get your system really good to go for this.
Jeffrey
Really mess yourself up.
Rebecca
Yeah, Sounds good.
Jeffrey
We admire that you have that whatever it takes attitude to beat Brooke. We appreciate that.
Brooke
That.
Logan
Whatever.
Jose
I need to inject.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
Yes.
Jeffrey
While you're still conscious. Let's get to the game. You got 30 seconds to answer as many questions as possible. If you don't know when you could say pass. But you have to beat her outright if you want to win. Are you ready?
Rebecca
I'm ready.
Jeffrey
You got this. Your time starts now. Today is International Space Day. How many planets can be seen from Earth without a telescope?
Rebecca
3.
Jeffrey
In the game, Roham, what beats rock,
Rebecca
paper?
Jeffrey
The book and movie character James Bond also goes by what agent number?
Jose
A
Rebecca
78.
Jeffrey
What Australian animal gets its name from the translation? No drink.
Rebecca
Elephant.
Jose
Okay, we'll lock an elephant.
Jeffrey
Australian elephants love that. Okay, Brook's gonna come back into the studio and we have just, just enough time, Carrie, to play a game within a game. So let's do a little tic tac toe. I'm X's, your O's. And I'm starting top, middle.
Rebecca
You're up top, middle, bottom, right.
Jeffrey
Oh, nice move. I'm going to go bottom left with my ex now.
Brooke
Interesting.
Jeffrey
And if you're driving, close your eyes so that you can really picture what's happening. It's called a game within a game. And unfortunately, we are out of time.
Brooke
So just going to pick the middle one.
Jeffrey
It looks like cuz I started, I win. So good try, Carrie. Hopefully you can take your anger and frustration out on Brooke if this doesn't work out for you could lose twice today. Oh, well, it's on to Brook's turn. Brooke, are you ready?
Brooke
I'm ready.
Jeffrey
Your time starts now. Today is International Space Day. How many planets can be seen from Earth without a telescope? Telescope?
Brooke
2.
Jeffrey
In the game, Rochambeau. What beats rock, paper? The book and movie character James Bond also goes by what agent number?
Brooke
007.
Jeffrey
What Australian animal gets its name from the translation? No drink?
Brooke
Wallaby.
Jeffrey
In ancient Egyptian mummification, which major organ was traditionally left inside the body?
Brooke
The heart.
Jeffrey
All right.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
Glad they specified what kind of mummification.
Brooke (phone tap persona)
Vacation.
Brooke
Yeah, I bet they do it different. You know, some mummies like it other ways.
Jeffrey
It's possible. Let's go to the scoreboard to see how you both did with our own. Jose, everything about me is real.
Show Announcer
My hair is real.
Jeffrey
My teeth are real.
Brooke
My eyelashes are real.
Jose
Melanios, Carrie, you got one correct today.
Brooke
Oh, all right,
Jeffrey
I know what I did.
Jose
And, brooke, you got three.
Jeffrey
Sorry, the EpiPen was not working in your favor today. Let's go over the answers for everybody. It's International Space Day. From Earth, without a telescope, you can actually see five of the planets. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.
Brooke
Not with my eyesight.
Jeffrey
No, not with brooks. With normal 2020 eyesight, five of them are visible.
Jose
Brooke, that's not Venus. That's a flake of dust on your glass.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
Barely see Earth.
Ashton's Mom
Yeah.
Jeffrey
In the game Rochambeau, paper beats rock. Yeah. In the book and movie James Bond, he also goes by agent number 007.
Jose
She said 78, which would be hilarious.
Game Host (Plenty of 20)
Offensive lineman James Bond.
Jose
I don't know why it's a funny version.
Jeffrey
It is a better version. The Australian animal that gets its name from the translation no drink is koalas, because they actually rarely ever drink water. I think they get all of their moisture from eucalyptus leaves. Yeah, absolutely. In an ancient Egyptian mummification, the heart was trad, traditionally left inside of the body because it was considered the seat of the soul. Rest of your organs were suctioned out and put into jars.
Jose
I'm gonna leave another organ in mine.
Brooke
Nobody will notice it's there.
Jeffrey
Yeah, I know. So, Carrie, I'm sorry it was not enough to be Brooke today. But the good news is, just for playing, we're giving you a pair of tickets to Mariners Fireworks night. Presented by t mobile and moving 92.5 on Friday, June 19, as the Mariners welcome the Boston Red Sox to town.
Rebecca
Right on.
Brooke
Yeah, There you go.
Jeffrey
See?
Alexis
See?
Brooke
You're a good loser. That's why you should call in.
Rebecca
I know. Last time we were best friends.
Ainsley
If you don't remember me, I duh.
Brooke
I've been wearing my BFF necklace every day. You haven't.
Jeffrey
It was so fun having you on the show, Carrie. Come back and play again soon. We're gonna do Winbrook's Bucks same time on Monday.
