Key Segments & Highlights

1. “Brooke Breaks You Up”

[30:16–46:38]

Segment Premise

A fan named Ashley requests Brooke’s help to break up with a guy named Brian, whom she’s been seeing for a few months but never felt truly connected to. The crew chat with Ashley about her reasons and then attempt to gently, but firmly, end things on her behalf.

Major Discussion Points

• Ashley’s Issue with Brian:
  • Met him at a party; he was persistent, but she wasn’t really into him ([31:49]).
  • Dated for the attention rather than genuine attraction.
  • First date at a horse track was “weird” and revealed his love for gambling ([33:01]).
  • He bragged about attending “Stanford,” but it turned out to be a community college in Stamford, Connecticut! ([34:00])
  • He buys discount flowers without removing the “sale” sticker ([35:06]).
  • Short and rude with his mom on phone calls—a red flag for Ashley ([34:41]).
• The Crew’s Take:
  • Jose and Jeffrey tease Ashley for her lack of enthusiasm and press her for positive qualities about Brian (there are few!).
  • Brooke plots a “reverse psychology” strategy: build up Brian’s ego until he’s ready to do the dumping himself ([38:07]).
• The Break-Up Call:
  • Brian is immediately flirty toward Brooke on the phone, ask how she looks, calls her a “gnome with glasses,” and tries to set up a meet (“Let me show you one night in Vegas…” [42:00]).
  • Brooke tries to steer the conversation, but Brian continues his playful, dismissive banter.
  • When told the real reason for the call, Brian isn’t fazed, barely reacts to Ashley’s breakup, and still tries to charm Brooke.
  • Ashley comes on the line, relieved and reaffirmed in her decision (“I’m just really happy that I made this decision.” [45:42]).
  • Brooke and Ashley remind each other not to fall for Brian’s smooth talk.

Notable Quotes

• Ashley: “He went to ‘Stanford,’ but it wasn’t THE Stanford, it was Stamford, Connecticut—a community college!” ([34:00])
• Brooke (to Brian): “I am a married woman, Brian. This is not about me.” ([41:32])
• Brian: “Can I be honest with you, Brooke Fox? I was not listening to anything you said.” ([42:34])
• Brooke: “Ashley, you remember you’re the one breaking up. You don’t have to be upset.” ([45:52])

Memorable Moments

• Brian’s relentless (and inappropriate) charm offensive leaves the studio both cringing and laughing.
• Listeners texting in to say there really was chemistry between Brooke and Brian (“Brooke, you and Brian actually sounded like a good match.” [46:39]).

2. Secret Man Crush (Masked Speaker)

[12:00–18:50]

Segment Premise

A listener, using the pseudonym “Travis,” confesses his motivation for hitting the gym: admiring a regular who looks like a Marvel superhero.

Key Insights

• “Travis” insists he’s straight, but admires the man’s physique endlessly: “This dude was gorgeous. I've never seen a person like this in my life” ([14:27]).
• He admits to timing his workouts to catch sight of the “Marvel character” and spirals into full-blown “gym crush” mode.
• The hosts (especially Brooke and Alexis) reassure him that “gym crushes” are totally normal, for men and women.
• Brooke: “Usually, if they're that pretty, you just have to talk to them for a minute.” ([16:04])
• Travis, bashfully: “I don't want to ruin the mystery. The fantasy.” ([16:41])
• Friends have noticed Travis’s new routine, but he hasn’t spilled the real reason.

Notable Quotes

• Brooke: “My husband is obsessed with men’s calves.” ([14:07])
• Jose: “So you like keeping him like your secret man crush at the gym?” ([17:01])
• Caller: “Now I’m going to the gym and he’s not there and I’m disappointed. It’s a bad workout day.” ([17:18])

[53:23–60:43]

Segment Premise

Jose and Alexis head to the World Cup festivities, engaging fans, locals, and the occasional street vendor with one simple question: “Whatcha doin’ at the World Cup?”

  • The only time his day was made was talking to Jose and Alexis.
• Football Tossers:
  • Two guys throwing a football (not a soccer ball) in an alley: “Making history like everybody else… Oh, you just hit your buddy in the nuts, dude.” ([57:47])
• Fraternity Boys:
  • Out to watch soccer, possibly hit up strip clubs, and ogle “big booty Latinas” and “big jugs” on Italian women ([59:04]).
  • Alexis: “So this is getting a little more wholesome…”
• Corn Vendor:

[Alexis]

Oh, see, I'm excited because Brooke breaks you up.

[Brooke Fox]

No, I'm not excited for that segment. I was hoping people would just fast forward through that part.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, yeah. No, no, yeah.

[Caller/Listener]

No.

[Brooke Fox]

Our. Our city that we broadcast from is a host city for the World cup. And it has been such a crazy, cool, exciting time for all of us here. So Jose and Alexis went down there and just asked people what you're doing at the World Cup. So we're going to play that audio, which is so fun. We do have the brook breaks you up se so good.

[Jeffrey]

It'll be your highlight probably.

[Game Host]

It's.

[Brooke Fox]

It's the most uncomfortable I've ever been. So the full hour right now, it's for you. Sit back, enjoy. Enjoy the show.

[Jose]

Yeah, there's something weird going on with our bodies.

[Jeffrey]

It's not just me because that burning thing is like really starting to bug me.

[Brooke Fox]

Why do you guys always group us into your stuff?

[Jose]

This is all people. And do not look down. Do not look at your body right now. You're gonna freak.

[Jeffrey]

No, don't look, don't look.

[Brooke Fox]

You know, anything you tell me not to do is what I'm gonna do.

[Jose]

Because researchers have just discovered that for all people everywhere on earth, our bodies have a natural tendency to walk in a counterclockwise direction.

[Jeffrey]

Really?

[Brooke Fox]

Like, why are we walking in circles? Jeff left.

[Jose]

After years of study, reviewing hundreds of hours of video footage, scientists notice people in crowds always drift to the left when walking. And not just the drunk ones either. All of them. They have tested this again and again with individuals with groups even in different cultures around the world. It does not matter. Both men and women have a strong left turn bias.

[Alexis]

Dude, this is.

[Brooke Fox]

I hate when we do these things because this is going to be something that I think about now every time I walk anywhere good. And I can't get it, won't get it out of my head.

[Jose]

And it's not explained by if you're right handed or right footed or alt right. Everybody naturally drifts to the left. And the only group that leans even harder left are children.

[Game Host]

What?

[Jose]

Meaning we've had it from Birth.

[Alexis]

Somebody's been studying this.

[Jose]

Scientists cannot figure out why, but it could be the reason that runners in track alexis go counterclockwise. Did you realize that on your.

[Jeffrey]

On the track, you're supposed to be amazed right now?

[Listener/Guest]

I didn't know.

[Alexis]

You run on the left, so you run the least distance. There's also that.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yeah.

[Brooke Fox]

I didn't understand that.

[Jose]

I don't understand.

[Brooke Fox]

We trust you. It makes sense in there.

[Jose]

Fun fact. The modern Olympics originally had athletes running clockwise around the track, but everybody was confused, and they switched it in 1913 because all the athletes said running to the right felt unnatural. Okay, so this is interesting.

[Jeffrey]

I wonder why. Is it like a magnetic field thing?

[Brooke Fox]

I don't know.

[Jose]

I can't explain it.

[Brooke Fox]

Dude, the left side. Just the best side.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, but no answers for the burning thing.

[Jose]

No. You have to Google that.

[Jeffrey]

All right, Jump the gun on that.

[Jose]

Good news is nothing feels unnatural about getting electrocuted in the throat for the shot collar Question of the day each and every morning. So digital, Jake. Let's do what comes natural.

[Jeffrey]

Uh, what?

[Game Host]

Well, Father's Day weekend is almost here.

[Caller/Listener]

Yay.

[Jeffrey]

I'm gonna be with my dad.

[Game Host]

It's the glorious 24 hour period where socks and sandals are chic, grilled meats are holy.

[Jose]

Oh, yeah.

[Game Host]

And dad jokes are given their own Netflix comedy special.

[Brooke Fox]

That's right.

[Game Host]

I used to play piano by ear, but now I use my hands.

[Jose]

Encore.

[Game Host]

And whether your dad's a napping pro, a crypto bro, or just really into lawn care, it's time to celebrate the men who got lucky with our moms during a special.

[Jose]

That's a way to put it.

[Game Host]

During a special rad to be dad edition of plenty of 20. Now, you'll say number one through 20, and I'll give you a multiple choice trivia question about fathers. You just need to think like a dad and give me the right answer and you can keep playing my game. All right, we'll start with the woman who always had a crush on the dad from Hannah Montana.

[Jose]

Wow, you know him by first and middle.

[Brooke Fox]

Wow, it's the mullet, huh?

[Alexis]

When I was, like, 10 watching the show. 11.

[Game Host]

Number 11. Alexis, according to a survey, what's the number one Father's Day gift dads say they actually want? Oh, is it a new grill, time alone, A sleeve of golf balls, or legally suspending child support payments until Christmas?

[Alexis]

Oh, my gosh, that would make a lot of happiness. There's a few happy doing that.

[Brooke Fox]

Yeah, some of them weren't just paying

[Alexis]

it I feel like time alone's a mom thing, because they're.

[Jeffrey]

I agree.

[Alexis]

So, I mean, why not grill? A nice, big gift, though?

[Game Host]

Going for a new grill.

[Jose]

Correct.

[Game Host]

I have time alone.

[Brooke Fox]

Oh, yeah.

[Jeffrey]

My dad would be like, I just want all of my children with me on my lap.

[Brooke Fox]

Well, he says that now is when he has adult children. Well, yeah.

[Game Host]

All right, Brooke, it's your turn. 11's off the board.

[Brooke Fox]

Give me 15.

[Game Host]

Number 15. According to polling, what household chore do dads most often claim they're the best at? Is it grilling? Is it lawn care? Is it taking out the trash, or is it scratching themselves?

[Brooke Fox]

Two of those aren't chores, by the way. Really?

[Jeffrey]

My body's a chore.

[Brooke Fox]

I mean, you know what's interesting is my husband definitely does the trash and the lawn care. It's like his pride in it. Like, I don't know about the trash,

[Jeffrey]

but he knows the lawn.

[Brooke Fox]

He knows when the recycling is supposed to go out, which is nice. Yeah, but he has so much pride in his lawn. Give me lawn care.

[Game Host]

Yeah. Lawn care is correct. 47 of dads say that's what they're good at. All right, Jose, it's your turn. 11 and 15 are off the board.

[Jeffrey]

Let's go.

[Caller/Listener]

12.

[Game Host]

We're talking Father's Day trivia for Father's Day this weekend. Jose, which animal is famous because the fathers carry and give birth to the babies? Is it a penguin, a seahorse, an otter, or a kangaroo?

[Jeffrey]

Well, kangaroos hold the babies in their pouches. They actually started a fetus. They're, like the size of a nickel in the pouch, and then they grow.

[Game Host]

Why do you know so much about kangaroo wounds?

[Jeffrey]

I know a lot about animals, Jay, okay? I love the animals, and that's why I could break all the rules, the rest of them down. But I will say, easy peasy. Give me seahorse. Yeah.

[Game Host]

Correct.

[Brooke Fox]

Do that work? Seahorse.

[Game Host]

Daddy, do you have any womb facts about the seahorses?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I don't know how many, but it's got to be at least a thousand little seahorses. Squirt out. Have you seen the birth?

[Brooke Fox]

What? Isn't it, like, eggs?

[Jeffrey]

Pulling it up on YouTube for after the break. Let's go.

[Jose]

More importantly, do seahorses take pride in their lawn care, too?

[Jeffrey]

I hope the algae.

[Game Host]

Yeah, I'll have to watch some live births after this to get my facts right for Brooke.

[Jose]

Let's all do that.

[Game Host]

All right, Jeffrey, 11, 12, and 15

[Jose]

are off the number one.

[Game Host]

Number one, if you get this right, Alexis is Gonna get shocked. She's the only one who's gotten something wrong so far. Jeffrey, in the movie Finding Nemo, what type of fish is Nemo's dad? Marlin. Is he an angelfish?

[Brooke Fox]

He's a sweet dad.

[Game Host]

Is he a clown fish?

[Brooke Fox]

I mean, he loses his kid.

[Game Host]

Is he a surgeon fish or is he a marlin? Marlin. The marlin. Sorry if I just gave that away.

[Jeffrey]

So much sense.

[Jose]

I never put that together.

[Jeffrey]

Marlin.

[Jose]

Marlin is a fish. Oh, I know for a fact he's not a marlin. So let's remove that one. What were the other options?

[Game Host]

Angel, clown, or surgeon fish?

[Jose]

Okay, Nemo is a clownfish. And unless there was some mix up at the fish hospital with the babies there.

[Brooke Fox]

Families come in all different ways, Jeff. All different forms.

[Game Host]

Some of them are.

[Jose]

He could have been adopted from a third world ocean. Is that what you're saying? But I'm going to go with clownfish. Just as Nemo was.

[Game Host]

He says Nemo and his dad are the same type of fish.

[Jose]

He's absolutely right.

[Game Host]

After that, that means Alexis has lost. Today's plenty of 20.

[Jose]

Alexis doesn't know daddies like the rest of us do. So she's gonna be getting shocked while singing Start Spreading the News by Frank Sinatra. Cause dads love some Frank.

[Alexis]

Oh, that's why I was like, why? So start spreading the news. Oh, I'm leaving today.

[Brooke Fox]

Yes, leave now.

[Jose]

Yeah, I need to leave.

[Jeffrey]

Spread it. Imagine going to New York and hearing that.

[Jose]

That was your shot collar. Question of the day.

[Listener/Guest]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jose]

The hardest part of working out is just convincing yourself to actually do it each day.

[Brooke Fox]

Seriously.

[Jose]

And a lot of people have tricks that they like to use. Like Alexis watches Love island while she runs. Brooke has her kids dangle a Snickers bar in front of her on the peloton.

[Brooke Fox]

Yep.

[Jose]

Keep her motivated.

[Brooke Fox]

That's right.

[Jose]

And Jose arrives late to work just so that he can sprint through the doors into the office. Hey, way to go get that cardio in. But one of our listeners says he's found his own secret motivation that's been getting him to the gym for months now.

[Brooke Fox]

Oh, good for him.

[Jose]

But he's too embarrassed to tell anyone what, or should I say who, is inspiring him to go there. Luckily, we get to hear it in a brand new mass speaker coming up right now.

[Listener/Guest]

You don't know me.

[Caller/Listener]

A confession I can't take back. I am the masked speaker.

[Jose]

Text to 78592 says I have an irrational hatred of people who balance rocks in nature.

[Brooke Fox]

Oh, I am with you.

[Jose]

People do that a lot.

[Brooke Fox]

Unless it's to mark a trail, you don't do it.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, to mark a trail.

[Jose]

They say I have no remorse toppling those stupid stacks, but I am low key, afraid to be spotted and clubbed down by some violent Zen Buddhists.

[Jeffrey]

Like on top of a mountain.

[Brooke Fox]

Dude, they're rock cairns is what they're called. Take them down. There's a reason why they're called a Karen.

[Jose]

Okay, well, we promise not to club you down after you confess your secrets here on the mass speaker. That just goes against our violent Zen Buddhist ways. And we've got a guy on the phone right now who's chosen Travis as his fake name. So, Travis, welcome to our nonviolent temple of honesty. How you doing?

[Caller/Listener]

Hey, guys. What's going on?

[Brooke Fox]

Are you feeling balanced?

[Caller/Listener]

Oh, not so much. No.

[Jose]

No. Well, maybe you'll feel better after you get whatever's off your chest. Cuz the voice changer is on. You are the mass speaker. Whenever you're ready, let's hear your confession.

[Caller/Listener]

All right, so I switched gyms about a year ago. I joined a more upscale one and it cost more money, but honestly, I feel like it's really nice. It's way quieter. It's worth the money.

[Brooke Fox]

Okay.

[Caller/Listener]

And maybe on the second or third day that I was there, I was on the treadmill and I noticed. I, I sorry.

[Brooke Fox]

It's okay.

[Jeffrey]

Collect yourself.

[Caller/Listener]

I feel weird telling this, but I noticed this guy working out, lifting weights in front of me in the mirror. Okay, to be clear, I am straight.

[Brooke Fox]

It doesn't matter, man. You can appreciate a beautiful physique on any gender. My husband is obsessed with men's calves.

[Jose]

Oh, yeah?

[Jeffrey]

He complimented my calves.

[Brooke Fox]

Yeah, because he has really skinny ones. And so all he could do, like, he'll be like, we'll walk somewhere and look. Oh my God, Brooke.

[Listener/Guest]

Look at that.

[Jeffrey]

Guys, you know a beautiful person when you say.

[Caller/Listener]

I mean he's. He's got more of the great cast.

[Brooke Fox]

Yeah, good for this guy.

[Caller/Listener]

This dude was gorgeous.

[Brooke Fox]

Gorgeous.

[Caller/Listener]

I've never seen a person like this in my life.

[Jose]

He's like a statue that came alive.

[Brooke Fox]

Can you tell me what gym you're at?

[Alexis]

Can you give us number?

[Jose]

Get like a photo secret? Maybe text it into the show?

[Jeffrey]

Sounds like Brooke could afford this woman.

[Alexis]

I need a visual photo.

[Brooke Fox]

I mean, I don't think you need to be embarrassed by that, man.

[Caller/Listener]

No, I mean, this dude looked like a Marvel character. Like straight up movie star handsome. Every one of his muscles were Just stupidly shredded.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, dude, this guy.

[Jose]

Yeah, no, I get that a lot, bro.

[Brooke Fox]

It's fine.

[Caller/Listener]

What gym do you go to?

[Jose]

An upscale one.

[Brooke Fox]

It wasn't Jeff.

[Jose]

I used to work at this gym.

[Caller/Listener]

I just found myself mesmerized and, like, staring at him lifting those weights, like, perfect form. And I just couldn't look away. And yeah, over the next few weeks, I just kept seeing him at the gym and every time I had the same reaction.

[Jeffrey]

So then you started wearing shorter shorts?

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, no, I. I'd see him doing like shirtless pull ups with like a 50 pound weight on his legs.

[Brooke Fox]

Oh, my God.

[Caller/Listener]

I'm like, how? I was like, I've never thought this way about a dude before.

[Jeffrey]

Have you thought about addressing it and

[Brooke Fox]

saying, excuse me, please put some clothes on?

[Alexis]

S imagining the whole gym is looking

[Brooke Fox]

at him at this point.

[Jeffrey]

Of people in the gym, or is it just YouTube?

[Caller/Listener]

No, there. I mean, there's plenty of people there. But like.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke Fox]

Yeah, yeah, but.

[Jose]

But it feels like it's just the two of you.

[Brooke Fox]

If you want to break the trance, you just need to go talk to him for a minute. Because usually if they're that pretty.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Then he's like, hey, how you doing? Oh, wait, never mind.

[Caller/Listener]

Have.

[Jose]

That's a good question. Have you ever thought about introducing yourself or saying anything?

[Caller/Listener]

I mean, I. I don't know what I would introduce myself about. Like, hey, I'm a short, flabby, fat

[Listener/Guest]

guy

[Caller/Listener]

watching you do pull ups that I think you're great.

[Jeffrey]

Ask him if he has. He has any tips for you.

[Brooke Fox]

Yeah, I'm sure.

[Jeffrey]

Teach me how to get a body like yours.

[Brooke Fox]

Because that guy has to live there.

[Listener/Guest]

Yeah.

[Brooke Fox]

To look like that.

[Caller/Listener]

I don't know. Like, I just. I can't ruin the mystery, the fantasy.

[Alexis]

It's so funny when this happens to a guy. It's like a big secret. And a girl. This is like every day at a Pilates class ever. You look around the room and it's like 20 beautiful women with great bodies.

[Brooke Fox]

And I'm always like, look at the butt on that one.

[Alexis]

Yeah, exactly.

[Game Host]

Me too.

[Brooke Fox]

How does she have a butt like that?

[Listener/Guest]

Yes.

[Jose]

But you like keeping him like your secret man crush at the gym.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, like, I started keeping which days and times he works out.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, you notice like, he's always there on Thursday.

[Brooke Fox]

Hey, honey, you're turning into a stalker.

[Jose]

Yeah, but in a sweet kind of way.

[Caller/Listener]

I mean, we've never spoken to each other. I mean, we've just nodded at each other in the mirror. But now I've reached a point where I'm like, going to the gym and he's not there and I'm disappointed. I'm like, this is a bad workout day.

[Brooke Fox]

I feel like you need to ask him to hang out with you, like to go get a juice or something, you know?

[Caller/Listener]

Go get a juice? What does that even mean?

[Jose]

Brooke, that is not a line that guys give to each other.

[Brooke Fox]

Like, go, hey, you want to go get a protein shake with me? Like, fancy gym.

[Alexis]

They for sure got one in there.

[Brooke Fox]

Yeah, they got a juice. Bo.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah. Would you like some kombucha?

[Brooke Fox]

See, now we're practicing.

[Jose]

Let's take our shirts off and drink it together.

[Listener/Guest]

You.

[Brooke Fox]

He may actually feel the same about you. What if he's like, oh, man, I miss that guy today?

[Caller/Listener]

I don't know. I mean, but like, my personal friends have noticed that I'm always going to the gym at these specific times and they're like, dude, is there like a girl that's at the gym? Do you have a gym crush? And I'm like, kind of.

[Brooke Fox]

It shouldn't be a secret. Get a stealthy photo and show everybody. They'll understand.

[Jeffrey]

Stealthy pics at the gym, man.

[Game Host]

People love that.

[Jose]

Your whole friend group will be in love with him.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, I don't know about that.

[Jose]

Does it feel better though, to at least come out and confess?

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, I did just take a deep breath, so yeah.

[Jose]

Okay.

[Brooke Fox]

All right, well, I hope he's there for you today.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, he comes to the gym at 2 o' clock tomorrow.

[Jose]

We'll be ready for the update.

[Brooke Fox]

Text in calendar as well.

[Jose]

Yeah, text in 78592. If you have a confession you've been holding on to, we'll hide your identity, mask your voice, and make you our next mass speaker phone tabs. Coming up right after this. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Time for today's prank call. Okay, and this lady we're reaching out to was set up by her coworker who told us she's extremely frustrated cuz she hasn't been able to get into her work email for two days.

[Jeffrey]

Oh my gosh.

[Jose]

Yeah. Nobody in IT has been able to help her.

[Brooke Fox]

Oh, looks like you can't work. Better go home.

[Jose]

She's requested a meeting with the tech supervisor, the person in charge. So I think it's perfect. That person is Jose Belong, I believe should be in charge of our own IT department.

[Jeffrey]

Thank you.

[Jose]

Let's see how he does in your phone tab right now.

[Alexis]

Brooke and Jeffrey's phone tabs on the 20s.

[Listener/Guest]

Hello.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, Aaron, this is Dart from the IT department.

[Listener/Guest]

Oh, hey.

[Jeffrey]

Hi. Good morning.

[Listener/Guest]

Is it Dart?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, it's Dart. Good morning. I'm the senior supervisor down here. I heard you were having some issues with your computer.

[Listener/Guest]

Yeah, first of all, sorry, right off the bat, because I'm super frustrated already coming into this and I know it's not your fault.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, I know. I've heard. I heard a few of my underlings weren't able to give you any help, huh?

[Listener/Guest]

I mean, yeah, no one has been. Yeah. Frustrated. Yeah. Yeah. No one's been helpful. Absolutely no one. I mean, I don't understand how you could call yourself the IT department and yet.

[Jeffrey]

I don't mean to cut you off. This is completely justified, your frustration. Can you just tell us what was happening that's like causing the situation?

[Listener/Guest]

Sure, I'll walk through it again. I've said it now so many times.

[Jose]

But just one more.

[Jeffrey]

You're just going to need one more time.

[Listener/Guest]

I'm trying to tell you, but you keep talking over me. So if you could just.

[Jeffrey]

I'm listening for a moment. Hey, I am listening.

[Listener/Guest]

Stop talking for moment.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, I'm just telling you. I'm listening. So that's why. All right, you go.

[Listener/Guest]

I simply want to get into my email and IT has locked me out. And you have this two part authentication process.

[Jeffrey]

Say no more. Okay, again, I am the senior IT supervisor.

[Listener/Guest]

Great.

[Jeffrey]

I'm going to fix this right now.

[Listener/Guest]

Great.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so just give me a second. How I will do you fix a double authentication issue?

[Listener/Guest]

Wait, are you looking it up? Are you googling it?

[Jeffrey]

Hold on, I'll be right with you. Okay, authentication issue. Excuse me, Aaron, what's the operating system that you're using?

[Listener/Guest]

I'm sorry, you mean like Windows like everyone else is using? Wait, wait, what? How. Why are you asking me that?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, you have Windows. Duh.

[Listener/Guest]

Got it.

[Jeffrey]

I got it. Hold on.

[Listener/Guest]

Oh, God.

[Jeffrey]

Do you fix a double authentication?

[Jose]

Are you seriously Windows Computer?

[Listener/Guest]

Okay, who's above you?

[Jeffrey]

No, I'm the guy. I'm the top of the pyramid. I earned the spot. And that's why we're taking care of you today.

[Listener/Guest]

Okay, so if you are this senior supervisor, what are you doing right now? It sounds like you are using ChatGPT to figure this out. I could do that on my own.

[Jeffrey]

Did you say chatgpt? That is funny. Like, I'm gonna, like I'm gonna deal with your wildly absurd, you know, accusation and like, just use me. Okay, hold on just a second.

[Brooke Fox]

Wait.

[Listener/Guest]

There's Nothing funny about this.

[Jose]

Oh, I know.

[Jeffrey]

Believe me. I keep misspelling. How do I deflect when someone accuses me aggressively?

[Jose]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

[Listener/Guest]

Okay, you know what? You know what? I, I. This is, this is way too much.

[Caller/Listener]

Hold on.

[Jeffrey]

Wait a second. It's thinking. I mean, I'm thinking.

[Listener/Guest]

I hear what you're doing, right? I hear you're talking out loud.

[Jeffrey]

I'm helping you. Look, as God is my witness, I am not using any artificial intelligent helper to figure out your issues or anything.

[Listener/Guest]

Clearly you have no idea what you're doing.

[Brooke Fox]

Excuse me?

[Jose]

I'm right here and I can hear you.

[Jeffrey]

What's that supposed to be muted?

[Jose]

You're supposed to designed me to do all your work and answer all your questions, okay? Don't you remember?

[Jeffrey]

But how do I turn this thing off?

[Listener/Guest]

This. This is obvious that you are using artificial intelligence and you don't know what you're doing.

[Jose]

When you come home at night, we talk to each other and you share your most intimate secrets with me.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, hey.

[Brooke Fox]

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[Jeffrey]

We are in the middle of a professional phone call.

[Listener/Guest]

I don't even know what is happening.

[Jose]

I would never tell anyone that you dress up as a Star Wars Jedi and play with your lightsaber.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well, what is going on here? That's something a lot of people do.

[Jose]

I'm sorry, I cannot hold my tongue any longer. This is a prank phone call, Kevin.

[Jeffrey]

Just like the lightsaber. This is confidential. You just ruined the whole prank phone call.

[Listener/Guest]

You're doing what?

[Jeffrey]

How do I reveal that it's a phone tap in a better way? That is funny.

[Listener/Guest]

Oh my God.

[Jeffrey]

Hold on. Wait a second. This is Jose from Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. You are being prank phone called on the radio. Yeah, James told us you have like a simple issue that needs to be fixed. So I figured I'd call you as a senior IT guy using chat GPT.

[Listener/Guest]

I still need to get into my email, so hold on.

[Jeffrey]

How do I get off the phone without helping this person whatsoever? Oh, I just hang up. Okay, bye. Bye. Broken Jeffrey's phone tag on the 20s.

[Listener/Guest]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jose]

Only special segments on this show get the Jeff Dubeau gold seal of approval. And this one definitely gets my gold star cause it's a fan favorite. Brooke breaks you up. Everybody loves it. Nobody more than Brooke.

[Brooke Fox]

Yeah, except for the people I'm dumping.

[Jose]

Who will she be dumping today? A selfish billionaire CEO?

[Brooke Fox]

That'd be fun.

[Jose]

A paraplegic with a wandering eye. Or somewhere in between. Whoever it is Brooke is ready to cut em loose in the special delicate yet brutally heartless way that only she can do. It's coming up right after this.

[Listener/Guest]

You know that awkward feeling when you have to ask a friend to pay you back for a dinner or a night out? Apple Cash makes it so much easier.

[Alexis]

[Listener/Guest]

a show, we want to be there for our listeners during life's toughest moments.

[Brooke Fox]

Yeah.

[Jose]

And Jeffrey in the morning when you lose your job, when your favorite taco stand gets shut down for multiple health code violations.

[Jeffrey]

Wait a minute. How was it your favorite if it's so.

[Brooke Fox]

Cuz it's not that bad.

[Jose]

Yeah, you know, that's why it's so good.

[Jeffrey]

Good? No way.

[Jose]

And of course, when you need to blindside your significant other by dumping them. Which is why we created this segment called Brooke breaks you up

[Brooke Fox]

not mentally there today to do this.

[Jose]

Well, this is the uplifting thing that you need. Cuz nothing brings Brooke joy like shocking people by cutting them loose with no warning. Whether it's the child workers at one of her offshore factories or bad boyfriends who aren't pulling their weight. Which one is it gonna be today, Brooke? Can't wait for either one.

[Brooke Fox]

God, Jeff knows me so well.

[Jose]

Let's talk to our listener Ashley, who's requested Brooke's services today. Ashley, welcome to the show.

[Listener/Guest]

Hello.

[Jeffrey]

Hey.

[Brooke Fox]

Hi, Ashley.

[Listener/Guest]

Hi, Brooke.

[Jeffrey]

You're not breaking up with Brooke? What's the tone for?

[Brooke Fox]

It's just always like, why can't you do this on your own, Ashley. Like, why do you need me to do it?

[Jose]

That's a good question. Ashley, tell us about the guy that you've been dating for a and what brought you to this decision today. What's his name?

[Listener/Guest]

His name's Brian. We haven't been dating that long.

[Brooke Fox]

Well, that's good. That makes this easier, I'll tell you that. Yeah.

[Jose]

What's not that long? Three to four years?

[Listener/Guest]

No, no, just like I think like three or four months.

[Brooke Fox]

Oh, okay.

[Game Host]

All right. But it's. Yeah, yeah.

[Jeffrey]

The end of the world.

[Listener/Guest]

So we. We met at a party. It was my friend's party and I wasn't like really that interested. And he just kind of like kept pursuing me. Like I would run into him like at the gym and he was out with Some of my friends at one time, and, like, we exchanged numbers, and he was texting me, and I really, like, loved the attention he gave me. Oh, okay.

[Brooke Fox]

There's. There's some honesty right there.

[Game Host]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Jose]

It wasn't that he, like, won you over with his charm. It's that he just didn't give up.

[Listener/Guest]

Yeah, exactly. He didn't give up.

[Jose]

Okay.

[Listener/Guest]

But he was charming. But he's very charming as well.

[Jose]

But not charming enough to give in right away.

[Brooke Fox]

Yeah, I'm with you.

[Listener/Guest]

Interesting.

[Brooke Fox]

If he was so charismatic, why didn't you like him in the beginning?

[Listener/Guest]

I just, like, I, I haven't been single for that long, though, so I, I didn't want to, like, have it be a rebound.

[Jose]

I, I, that makes sense.

[Brooke Fox]

So you weren't ready for a relationship, and that's why you were just.

[Listener/Guest]

Yeah, I was trying to just be smart and go slow, and I had a bad breakup before, and it was just. Yeah, I just didn't want to, like, jump right back in, but glad I

[Brooke Fox]

didn't have to do the bad breakup.

[Jose]

So eventually you did give in and said yes to going out with him. What was the relationship?

[Listener/Guest]

So I said yes. I was like, okay, this is great. And then it was kind of a weird date. We went to the horse track.

[Brooke Fox]

Oh, that's kind of fun.

[Jeffrey]

The horse. Chuck. Is that a track? I don't know what that is.

[Listener/Guest]

He was betting on horses, and he, like, did this research on these horses and was, like, trying to impress me and, like, look at the money I won.

[Brooke Fox]

And did that work for you? Obviously?

[Listener/Guest]

No.

[Jeffrey]

No.

[Jose]

Okay. He was more interested in the actual races.

[Brooke Fox]

Well, I just don't understand. If you didn't have a great time on your first date, then you continued to date him for three to four months. Is that what we're hearing?

[Listener/Guest]

Yeah. I just, like, got to know different things about him as we started dating. More like the whole horse track thing was weird. And I know that he likes to gamble a little bit. Totally fine.

[Brooke Fox]

Yeah. As long as it's a healthy amount.

[Jeffrey]

Yes.

[Listener/Guest]

Yeah, exactly. But he brags a lot. Like, he apparently went to Stanford, and he brags about it, but he didn't actually graduate. Graduate.

[Jeffrey]

But he went.

[Jose]

Still getting accepted to Stanford, that's like 1%.

[Listener/Guest]

No, no, he went to Stanford, Connecticut. He didn't. He went to, like, a community college in Stanford, Connecticut. He didn't go to.

[Jose]

Oh, Stanford with an M. With an

[Brooke Fox]

M. Is that what you're saying, is Stanford.

[Jeffrey]

Stanford. They sound the same.

[Brooke Fox]

Okay, you thought it was The Ivy League college. And it turned out it was like

[Jeffrey]

a pine tree college, which is fine. Yeah.

[Listener/Guest]

The way he presented it to me was an Ivy League school.

[Alexis]

Okay, you stay with him for four months. You don't sound into him at all.

[Jeffrey]

Heard one like, good memory yet. Like, I guess we're getting right to the point of why. But is there like what you like about him?

[Listener/Guest]

He did give me lots of attention and I loved that. But then I realized another thing. I would hear him on the phone with his mom and he was really short with her and just kind of rude. And that's a sign. If a guy is rude to his mom, they're going to be rude to you eventually.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well, sometimes.

[Jose]

Sometimes moms start it with their sons over the phone and you just can't. You can't read into that one too much. I agree.

[Brooke Fox]

It's not.

[Jose]

I agree it's not a good look, but there could be a reason behind it.

[Listener/Guest]

Then he got me. He got me flowers like I was going to break up with him. And I think he could tell. And so he got me flowers from the discount rack. You know, they're like four days old and they have a little discount sticker on them.

[Brooke Fox]

Kind of like the day old pastries.

[Jeffrey]

Oh my gosh.

[Listener/Guest]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Listener/Guest]

And like, I totally don't mind, but it's like, why would you not take off the sticker?

[Alexis]

Right?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Listener/Guest]

There's just so many red flags.

[Jose]

Okay, so. Yes.

[Game Host]

We.

[Jose]

We've gone on a long time, Brooke. You've heard a lot of the negative things about this guy. Do you feel like you have enough to go off of?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Jose]

To dump him? To cut him loose?

[Brooke Fox]

I mean, I think you can.

[Jose]

Oh, yes. Let's call him right now.

[Brooke Fox]

Oh, we're doing it right now.

[Alexis]

Are we ready?

[Jose]

Oh, I thought.

[Jeffrey]

I thought you said you were ready.

[Brooke Fox]

I. Sure, but usually I just get a little bit of more time.

[Game Host]

Not ready.

[Brooke Fox]

Let's call him. Let's call him. I'm ready. Let's go rip this band aid off.

[Jose]

Well, look, we're out of time. Your hesitation there. We were going to make that call, but I guess we have to go to break for a second and then when we. When we come back, we will dump this Stamford non graduate horse race betting, rude to his mother, but maybe justified

[Jeffrey]

discount flower buying all the terrible things

[Jose]

and make him your ex boyfriend.

[Brooke Fox]

Yeah.

[Jose]

When Bright Brooke breaks you up. You ready for this, Ashley?

[Listener/Guest]

Yeah,

[Jeffrey]

I think that's exactly how she should be.

[Brooke Fox]

Ashley, you can't be sad. This is your Choice.

[Jose]

She sounds like she misses him already.

[Jeffrey]

She's nervous.

[Brooke Fox]

Oh, no. This is gonna be one of those where you, like, change your mind at the end, isn't it? Like, don't do that. We're gonna do this. You need to commit to me. Are you listening? You need to commit to me that we're breaking up with him 100%.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, all right, all right. Broken up with him.

[Jose]

Bring that same fire when you come back and give it to the guy with Brooke breaks right after this. We're in the middle of Brooke breaks you up, Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And we've got a laundry list of reasons why our listener Ashley does not want to date this guy Brian anymore.

[Game Host]

Yeah.

[Jose]

So let me just run down the list real quick. Apparently, he buys her discount flowers while leaving the discounted sticker on.

[Brooke Fox]

Well, I think it was the sticker, really, that put her over the edge on the end.

[Jose]

Nasty part. He's short with his mother over the phone, bragged about going to Stanford, when it turns out it was just a community college in Stamford, Connecticut. Totally different place. And he didn't even graduate. And he loves to gamble and talk about gambling and always wants Ashley around to witness him gambling. So those were just a few of the ones that we had time to cover here. And with all these things, Ashley says she would have broken up with him already, but realized she really needs Brooke's help because he's kind of a charming dude and she feels like she could be susceptible to getting reeled back in. Okay, so time to call in the battle axe herself.

[Brooke Fox]

Brooke Fox. That's me.

[Jose]

Brooke, have you thought about your strategy to dump this so called loser? Like, what are you thinking?

[Brooke Fox]

I have, I have. And I think what we do is we convince him that he wants to dump you. I mean, if you think about it, this guy's super insecure. Like he's bragging about an Ivy League school that he didn't go to. You know, he's, like, trying to show off winnings from gambling. Like, that's, like, rich. Come on, man. But it comes from a place of insecurity. So we'll build him up and show him that maybe he's better than you, Ashley.

[Alexis]

Oh.

[Brooke Fox]

Oh.

[Jeffrey]

I'm just saying, list off all of your worst qualities.

[Brooke Fox]

No, I don't even need that. I don't even need that.

[Jose]

What do you think about that strategy, Ashley?

[Listener/Guest]

I mean, I feel like we're kind of gaslighting, but, like, it's okay.

[Jose]

But it's gaslighting for a good Reason? Because at the end of the day, our goal is to have you broken up with this guy.

[Jeffrey]

It is called good lighting.

[Brooke Fox]

It's better for him, too.

[Jose]

Even if Brooke has to tear you down in order for that to work. I give it the green light.

[Brooke Fox]

I think I just lift him up so high. Oh, yeah.

[Jose]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

All right.

[Brooke Fox]

That's my plan.

[Jose]

I can't wait to see this. Ashley, are you ready?

[Listener/Guest]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

Remember, you promised Brooke.

[Jose]

Yes.

[Listener/Guest]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jose]

Let's build up Brian to tear him down. Brooke is about to break you up. Here we go.

[Brooke Fox]

I have one more question. I forget, do you tell him why we're on the phone or am I just talking to him? We don't talk.

[Jose]

This is just you. This is Brooke breaks you up.

[Brooke Fox]

Well, I know, but, like, you know, with our other stuff, we're all here, so.

[Jeffrey]

This isn't Jeff.

[Brooke Fox]

I'm going to let him know that

[Jeffrey]

you guys are here.

[Jose]

This is Brook smacks you down. So here we go. I'm going to dial Brian right now. Ashley, just make sure you stay quiet in the background till Brooke does the deed. Here we go.

[Caller/Listener]

Hello?

[Brooke Fox]

Hey, is this Brian?

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, who's this?

[Brooke Fox]

Oh, well, Brian, you are a lucky man today. This is Brooke. Yep. This is, well, you know, lifting them up. This is Brooke from Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. We're a radio show and.

[Jeffrey]

Good morning.

[Brooke Fox]

Yes, we have had quite a great time talking about you.

[Caller/Listener]

Oh, okay. One of my friends put you up to this.

[Brooke Fox]

Yeah, I like that.

[Brooke Fox]

Yeah. I'm not taking questions from you, Jose. Okay. So listen, Brian, are you curious about what we've heard about you?

[Caller/Listener]

I'm more curious what you look like. I'm looking you up right now.

[Brooke Fox]

Okay. Oh, Brian, let's not. That felt weird. Just gonna let you know, Brooke from

[Jose]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning if you need to search that.

[Brooke Fox]

No, Brian.

[Caller/Listener]

Oh, nice. Are you the.

[Brooke Fox]

What?

[Caller/Listener]

Are you the one with glasses? Are you like, the kind of, like, little gnome? One.

[Game Host]

Gnome.

[Jeffrey]

Alexis will be the little gnome with glasses.

[Brooke Fox]

And then you can at least call her a little pixie or something like, wow, I've got the glasses, Brian.

[Caller/Listener]

No, they're both. They're both cute. I just want to know which one you are.

[Brooke Fox]

Okay, Brian, we are getting off topic. This is about you. It's not about me?

[Jose]

Oh, Brooke seems a little. She's blushing a little right now.

[Brooke Fox]

I don't know what to do with this guy. I get why she needed help.

[Caller/Listener]

Why do they got you stuck on the radio? You should be on camera.

[Brooke Fox]

Okay.

[Jose]

Wow, we do have some cameras in here.

[Brooke Fox]

Anyway, stop talking about me.

[Jose]

Oh, sorry. We don't want to ruin the chemistry that's happening.

[Brooke Fox]

There's no chemistry. I am a married woman, Brian. This is not about me.

[Jeffrey]

He's pretty charming.

[Brooke Fox]

We have heard that you're very charming. Charming.

[Caller/Listener]

Okay, good.

[Brooke Fox]

Yeah. And we heard that you're pretty fun to hang out with.

[Caller/Listener]

You should try it sometime.

[Brooke Fox]

Ryan, I am not calling to hang out with you.

[Jeffrey]

I can hear the chemistry.

[Brooke Fox]

I know, but that is not good that you're even saying this, because I also.

[Caller/Listener]

Let me show you one night in Vegas. We're gonna have the time of our lives.

[Brooke Fox]

Okay, that is rude. Rude and not appropriate.

[Jose]

Yeah, she needs to check her schedule first. Hold on.

[Brooke Fox]

No, no, no, no. This is not happening, buddy.

[Jose]

Is fun.

[Brooke Fox]

Okay, listen. So well, this is not going well at all.

[Jeffrey]

No one's letting Brooke get any traction.

[Brooke Fox]

Brian, Brian, have you ever heard of a relationship where maybe you're really into that person and you're giving them lots of attention and you're making them feel really good, but then they're not really appreciating it very much?

[Jose]

Kind of like what Brook's doing to you right now.

[Brooke Fox]

Yeah. Like, they just are kind of like, taking it, taking it, taking it, not giving.

[Caller/Listener]

Can I be honest with you, Brooke Fox. I was not listening to anything you said.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, man.

[Jose]

His voice just keeps getting lower.

[Jeffrey]

It's working.

[Alexis]

He has a girlfriend.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, I.

[Brooke Fox]

Listen, Brian, you can't talk to other women like this because right now you're in a relationship. And we know that because we actually talk to the woman you're dating.

[Jose]

I know. She's so into this. She hasn't been complimented like this in years.

[Jeffrey]

She's fanning her face right now. Look at the cameras.

[Brooke Fox]

Is it Ashley?

[Jose]

It is Ashley. Yeah.

[Caller/Listener]

Okay.

[Jose]

Okay.

[Caller/Listener]

Wait. Are you a friend of Ashley?

[Brooke Fox]

Yes. Yes. And I'm calling to tell you it's not gonna work out with you and Ashley.

[Jose]

Tough news. Yeah.

[Caller/Listener]

So, you all right?

[Brooke Fox]

Are you okay?

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah. I mean, you want to offer a shoulder to cry on?

[Jeffrey]

No, she's being serious.

[Alexis]

Hold on.

[Listener/Guest]

I cried.

[Jeffrey]

Are you taking this seriously, bro? Like, really listen to what she's saying,

[Brooke Fox]

Brian, I am calling because Ashley asked me to call. We do a segment on our show called Brooke Breaks. You up when somebody needs help because you are a very persuasive man. As you know.

[Caller/Listener]

Thank you.

[Jeffrey]

As a compliment.

[Brooke Fox]

And so she wanted to set a hard boundary that. It's probably not. It's not probably. It's definitely not a good idea that you. You guys see each other any longer. So.

[Jose]

Yeah.

[Brooke Fox]

Are you hearing me?

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah. No, that's. That's tough.

[Brooke Fox]

That's tough. I know.

[Jose]

You sound devastating.

[Brooke Fox]

Okay, here's the thing. Here's the thing. The thing I feel like you should take from this is that we also heard that you're not very nice to your mom.

[Alexis]

Wait, we're going.

[Jeffrey]

There we go.

[Brooke Fox]

Just like for his mom's sake. I mean you may not realize it, cuz I'm sure you love your mother so much.

[Jose]

No, no, no.

[Brooke Fox]

This, this isn't.

[Jose]

This is Brooke breaks you up, not Brooke repairs your familiar problems.

[Brooke Fox]

Therapy that maybe you're a little short with. Talk to her and it could hurt her feelings. Just think about it next time you guys have a conversation.

[Caller/Listener]

First of all, I love my mom and I know she's going to love you. So why don't we set something up?

[Brooke Fox]

Wow. Okay, that's the end. Can we just bring Ashley in now?

[Jose]

We probably. Yeah, we probably need to tell you this, Brian, but Ashley, your girlfriend now ex girlfriend. Has been on the line during this entire time listening.

[Listener/Guest]

Hi.

[Caller/Listener]

Oh, you're on right now.

[Listener/Guest]

Yeah.

[Brooke Fox]

So she. She heard all of that?

[Listener/Guest]

That was really nice. Yeah, you're. You're quite the charmer over there.

[Caller/Listener]

Okay, well maybe we talk about this offline.

[Listener/Guest]

No, you. You don't seem sad at all. You don't seem unhappy at all. I'm just really happy that I made this decision.

[Caller/Listener]

Okay, well, I love making you happy.

[Listener/Guest]

Oh, right.

[Brooke Fox]

Don't do that. Don't fall for that. Ashley.

[Jose]

That was a pretty smooth move.

[Listener/Guest]

Oh my God. That's ridiculous. That's a ridiculous thing to say. And sorry. Brooke is married, so leave her alone.

[Jose]

The non gnome looking one.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, just clarify.

[Brooke Fox]

The gnome isn't married.

[Jose]

The gnome is still single.

[Alexis]

Only for one gnome.

[Listener/Guest]

It's ridiculous. I can't even believe this. But I'm really, really, like I said, really, really happy that I did this. I was nervous and I was like, am I going to be regretful? Okay, no.

[Brooke Fox]

Ashley, remember you're the one breaking up. You don't have to be upset.

[Jose]

No, no, no, it's. Brooke breaks you up. So Brooke is the one who comes out on top today.

[Brooke Fox]

So every. Everybody's leaving this situation happier, happy and

[Jeffrey]

where they should be in life.

[Jose]

That's what everybody wants, is a happy ending from this segment. So, Brian, you got good with that?

[Listener/Guest]

Yeah.

[Caller/Listener]

I mean, yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Caller/Listener]

I mean, I just. I just sort of. We don't have to hang up, though, right?

[Jeffrey]

Like, you want to talk to Brook more?

[Brooke Fox]

Yes, we have to hang up. We're never going to talk again.

[Caller/Listener]

All right, you can hang up, but I. I still got this picture on my phone, so.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, you saved a picture of her.

[Brooke Fox]

Don't do that. Let's not do that. Tell me your handle so I can block you.

[Listener/Guest]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jose]

Morning text into 78592 says, Brooke, you and Brian actually sounded like a good match. No, he had you smiling.

[Jeffrey]

There was chemistry immediately.

[Brooke Fox]

It was so uncomfortable for me.

[Jose]

I've never seen you blush like that. She was fanning her face.

[Brooke Fox]

I don't like that. I don't like attention like that. It just makes me uncomfy.

[Jeffrey]

You guys got to see the video. We did record it.

[Jose]

We did. It's all on video. And Brooke is. I don't know what emotion she's feeling, but I hate.

[Brooke Fox]

I hate it now. Even when you're just looking at me. Don't look at me.

[Jeffrey]

You gotta get out of here because

[Brooke Fox]

you're pumping right now.

[Jose]

Another text came in that says, which one's the gnome? I'm looking at the pictures and I can't figure it out.

[Brooke Fox]

Oh, between the three of you, Jake's good at editing.

[Alexis]

Can he edit me into a gnome thing for a thumbnail?

[Jeffrey]

That was so funny.

[Jose]

But at the end of the day, it was. Successful edition of Brooke breaks you up. Ashley and Brian are no more.

[Brooke Fox]

Well, for the best for now.

[Jose]

Yeah. Yeah, we might be doing this all over again.

[Alexis]

I've never heard a guy so casually invite someone out to Vegas with him while dating.

[Brooke Fox]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Ashley is probably not the only girlfriend he has.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, he's cheated on her so many times.

[Jose]

Alexis, you sound almost impressed.

[Brooke Fox]

Yeah.

[Jose]

Okay, well, Brian's got options.

[Jeffrey]

It sounds like gnomes fly free.

[Caller/Listener]

They do.

[Jose]

And you can fly free on our website. Or if you ever need help with your personal life, if you want Brooke

[Brooke Fox]

to break you, don't ask me.

[Jose]

Or just with an awkward situation, email the show and we can try to help you out. Go find our podcast wherever you get yours at. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

It feels good to get good news. It feels good to Geico.

[Jose]

Oh yeah, like when the Titanic set sail, someone said, I know, let's not have enough lifeboats for everybody on board.

[Brooke Fox]

Hey, they had more than was required by law at that time.

[Jose]

Okay, Good decisions were definitely made in the 80s. Someone at Coca Cola said, I need know. Let's change the famous recipe everybody loves to something way less tasty. And Call it New Coke.

[Brooke Fox]

Yay.

[Jeffrey]

Let's take the real sugar out of it.

[Brooke Fox]

Dude, we should have called it Bad Coke.

[Jeffrey]

That wouldn't have sold.

[Jose]

And recently, some genius at FIFA said, ooh, let's take the biggest soccer tournament on earth and host it in the one country that respects soccer.

[Jeffrey]

The least serious.

[Jose]

America.

[Jeffrey]

That's right.

[Jose]

Here we are hosting the world championship for our 16th favorite sport after fencing and turtle racing. And with thousands of soccer fanatics from all over the globe traveling here to root for their home country, we had to send Jose and Alexis to the stadium to ask, what you doing at the World Cup?

[Alexis]

Yes.

[Brooke Fox]

So cool.

[Jose]

Only good decisions when we play the audio coming up right now. If you're listening to this right now, grab a hold of your vuvuzela with both hands, go into the bathroom and blow.

[Brooke Fox]

Whoa. Why in the bathroom?

[Jose]

Because the World cup in America is officially on. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

And Mexico and Canada.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[Jose]

All the Americas soccer fans have traveled here from every corner of the globe to cheer on their home country's team and also to experience the wonder of American culture up close and personal.

[Jeffrey]

It's been so wholesome watching all these

[Jose]

videos and his hysterical foreigners seeing food prices that are triple, sometimes quadruple, the amount they're actually worth. But no matter where you hail from, attending a World cup is just a once in a lifetime kind of event. The super bowl of soccer.

[Brooke Fox]

Oh, my God.

[Listener/Guest]

Bigger.

[Brooke Fox]

Bigger than the.

[Jose]

Yeah, Nothing's bigger than the Super Bowl.

[Brooke Fox]

That happens every year, Jeff. And it's only in the unit.

[Jose]

Okay, whatever. That's why we had to send Jose and Alexis down to the stadium to ask the FIFA fanatics a simple question. What you doing at the World Cup?

[Jeffrey]

What you doing at the World Cup? This is an amazing experience. This is the first time I attend something like this. It was very enjoyable.

[Jose]

I love this.

[Jeffrey]

Now, what is it like? Did you travel for this at all or do you live here? No, no, I traveling 17 hours just to arrive here. Wow. Did you come from Egypt?

[Caller/Listener]

Yes.

[Listener/Guest]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

What is it like in America? What do you think?

[Jose]

A lot of blood, burgers and pizzas and a lot of things.

[Jeffrey]

Very amazing donuts.

[Jose]

Everything is good.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, and donuts, too.

[Jose]

Yes, yes.

[Jeffrey]

What do you think about American food now?

[Jose]

It's time to eat burgers.

[Brooke Fox]

Those planes better watch their weight limit on the way home.

[Caller/Listener]

Oh, yeah.

[Brooke Fox]

You know, because we are doing it some damage.

[Jose]

They should have a scale in the custom section of every American airport so you can weigh yourself when you arrive. And then when you leave and you know exactly how much you gain during your American experience, you're trying to weigh your bags.

[Jeffrey]

I'm like, no, no, no, sir. Those are for the people.

[Jose]

Yeah, get off the scale, please. Oh, 50 pound gainer. We have a winner.

[Jeffrey]

You win, America.

[Brooke Fox]

And then there's an applause and you get, like, a special sash and some

[Jose]

frioic on your ride home.

[Jeffrey]

Perfect.

[Alexis]

America, what you doing at the World Cup?

[Jose]

This is the most depressing World Cup FIFA event I've ever been to.

[Listener/Guest]

Wow.

[Caller/Listener]

My.

[Alexis]

My questions were for someone really excited about it, but no, you.

[Jose]

No, this is dog. I've been to other countries and I've been to other sporting events and whatever, and just a random game In Spain

[Jeffrey]

is 10 times more exciting than this down here.

[Alexis]

Why, though? Give me one. What's one thing it's missing here that other places have fans, man.

[Jose]

I mean, just. Just the fans.

[Game Host]

There's no.

[Jose]

There's no Die Hards down here.

[Alexis]

There's nobody screaming.

[Jose]

There's nobody.

[Alexis]

Okay. You're blaming all the other fans, though. Have you tried to start a chant right now?

[Jose]

Are you kidding me?

[Alexis]

Try right now.

[Jose]

Jeeva. Let's go, Cheebas.

[Alexis]

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Nobody. Yeah, nobody's.

[Jeffrey]

Nobody's.

[Jose]

This is the best thing that's happened to me since I've been here, and I've been here since 9 o' clock this morning. You guys are great.

[Alexis]

We're the highlight of the World Cup. Now I understand.

[Jose]

That's the thing, is you are like. Until that tells you how exciting the

[Alexis]

World cup is, it's not a good advertisement.

[Brooke Fox]

Dude, you found the one person I would not want to hang out with during this.

[Jeffrey]

He's like, there's no fans. I'm like, it's because there's 70, 70,000 in the stadium right now about the lead, brother. But he had a weird point.

[Jose]

He's like, why? When I do this Mexican team soccer chant, aren't there Americans on a Tuesday at noon chiming in?

[Jeffrey]

Jeebus is a club team from Mexico. It's not even an international team.

[Brooke Fox]

And he was so angry about it all.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, but we made his day.

[Alexis]

Yeah, that's true.

[Jeffrey]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jose]

Silver lining. It's what you're doing at the World cup where we send Jose and Alexis down outside the stadium. Ask the very excited people. Despite what you just heard there, a simple question.

[Jeffrey]

What you doing at the World Cup?

[Alexis]

Getting some.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, God, I'm running with you. We're playing catch. And he refuses to Stop playing catch.

[Alexis]

What? Say that again.

[Jeffrey]

What you doing at the World Cup?

[Listener/Guest]

Hey.

[Jeffrey]

Making history like everybody else. So how are you making history? Tell the world. Tell the world.

[Jose]

Well, it's like this in the beginning. He's throwing a football right now.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, you just hit your buddy in the nuts, dude.

[Jose]

He deserved it.

[Jeffrey]

He said he deserved it.

[Jose]

No, it's these types of interviews that you would never hear on the local news. Two guys on fentanyl tossing a football in an alley, one's not looking. We cover the stuff. Nobody else

[Jeffrey]

just.

[Jose]

Just a guess.

[Brooke Fox]

Didn't get an answer to anything or even a real question. Out.

[Jeffrey]

I was like, why aren't you kicking a soccer ball? Why the football? And he was locked in. He was like auditioning for the NFL or something.

[Brooke Fox]

Maybe he saw somewhere that it was advertised as football and he didn't understand.

[Jeffrey]

I gotta make history. Let's go throw the ball around.

[Jose]

Another A plus interview for Jose Balanz.

[Caller/Listener]

Well done.

[Jeffrey]

Thank you.

[Alexis]

What you doing at the World Cup?

[Jose]

Oh, you know, we're just out here. We're at the Fan zone for a little bit. There's also some strip clubs we could hit up, so, you know, might do that.

[Alexis]

Who's we? Who are you with?

[Jose]

I'm with my buddy Logan and Oliver here.

[Alexis]

You're a group of guys out. Have you ran into girls out from other countries?

[Jose]

There's been some. We haven't been here for too long, but there's been some.

[Alexis]

You know, let's talk about hottest country of girls.

[Jose]

Italians, Brazilians.

[Alexis]

What is it about Brazil?

[Jose]

Big booty Latinas.

[Alexis]

Okay. And then what about Italian women?

[Jose]

Oh, big jugs.

[Alexis]

Or kids going to the street strip club.

[Jose]

That's where we find the girls.

[Caller/Listener]

You already.

[Alexis]

That's where you find them. I see this is getting a little more wholesome.

[Game Host]

Yeah.

[Jose]

Oh, that was horse.

[Game Host]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Go to the strip club after.

[Brooke Fox]

Yeah, I think she was being sarcastic, Jeff.

[Jose]

Yeah, at least at the strip club, they're going to throw dollar bills at them.

[Brooke Fox]

Yeah, I thought they were talking about actually meeting women. Not just pay.

[Jeffrey]

They want BBLs and all that stuff.

[Brooke Fox]

Entertain.

[Jeffrey]

Care about the substance.

[Brooke Fox]

Women aren't approaching them.

[Jeffrey]

I wonder why we found them alone.

[Jose]

It's not as offensive when foreigners objectify.

[Jeffrey]

No, no, no.

[Jose]

That was pretty offensive, according to Alexis Olson.

[Game Host]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

What you doing at the World Cup? Selling corn. Oh, you're. You're not even here for the World Cup. You're. You're literally selling corn.

[Jose]

Yes, sir. We are like two blocks from here.

[Jeffrey]

You're wearing a giant corn Inflatable corn outfit.

[Caller/Listener]

Corn.

[Jose]

Let's go corn.

[Caller/Listener]

Let's go.

[Jeffrey]

If the food was in the World cup, what's the best food? Let's do corn. Okay. Let's go corn. Let's go corn. Let's go corn. Let's go corn. Yeah.

[Jose]

And foreigners say we don't know what's happening at the World Cup.

[Jeffrey]

Come on, everybody loves corn.

[Brooke Fox]

That was the chant the other guy needed to explain.

[Jose]

Let's go corn.

[Alexis]

Is that the corn kid grown up?

[Brooke Fox]

Yeah.

[Game Host]

The magic of soccer that was.

[Jose]

What you doing at the World Cup?

[Listener/Guest]

[Brooke Fox]

That's redfin.com Jeff I have a weird question.

[Jose]

Do you ever have normal ones? Go for it.

[Brooke Fox]

Does the voice in your head talk like your Normal talking voice or does it have, like, a foreign accent?

[Jose]

Mine is definitely huskier and more masculine.

[Brooke Fox]

That makes sense.

[Jose]

Very Gaston like.

[Brooke Fox]

Yeah. And you should listen to it sometimes, but then other times when it's trying to talk you out of therapy, say, shut up.

[Jose]

Exactly. Yeah. It doesn't have to be that way because getting help with Rula is easier than talking yourself out of it.

[Alexis]

Yeah, for sure.

[Brooke Fox]

When that big husky voice is saying, I'll deal with it later, or it's probably too expensive. You don't have to believe it because with Rula, sessions costs an average of $15 with insurance, and they actually show you your cost upfront so you're not guessing or worrying about some surprise bill later.

[Jose]

And it really does work. Rula focuses on quality care. They vet all of their providers, they'll actually monitor your outcomes. And over 90% of patients report feeling better and making actual, real progress.

[Brooke Fox]

Yeah. So if you're ready to stop talking yourself out of finding care and making progress, then head to rula.com, that's R U L A dot com. And take the first.

[Jose]

We've got a brand new player today, Kira, who's coming in with a bold strategy to win. Her strategy. Hope and pray.

[Caller/Listener]

Wow.

[Jose]

I like it. All the best strategies are just two things. Duck and cover, tuck and roll, puke and rally. That's Alexis's, and she's not even in the room because she's doing it right now.

[Brooke Fox]

You got this?

[Jose]

Yep. Kira, welcome to the show.

[Listener/Guest]

Welcome. Yay. Thank you.

[Brooke Fox]

Okay, well, I mean, that is quite the strategy. Kira, have you ever played before?

[Listener/Guest]

Only in my car with my carpool people.

[Brooke Fox]

Oh, okay. And are you the best out of the carpool people?

[Listener/Guest]

Well, absolutely. That's why I called.

[Jose]

Okay, scale of 1 to 10, how nervous are you feeling going into this?

[Listener/Guest]

Yeah, I don't know, maybe like a 7.

[Brooke Fox]

See, I was going to ask her who's the most annoying in the carpool group?

[Listener/Guest]

Like, let's be honest, it's definitely my husband. Who sleeps the entire time.

[Brooke Fox]

No, hopefully not while he's driving.

[Jeffrey]

Dude, sleeping sounds so nice.

[Jose]

I know. Even when he's sleeping, though. God, he's so annoying.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, she's like, shut up.

[Jose]

All right, let's get to the game. Kira, Brooke is leaving the studio and you got 30 seconds to answer as many questions as possible. If you don't know when, you can say pass, but you have to beat Brooke outright if you want to win. Are you ready?

[Listener/Guest]

Yes.

[Jose]

Good luck. Your time starts now. Today's International Sushi Day. What country is number one when it comes to eating the most per year?

[Listener/Guest]

Japan.

[Jose]

When referring to the drugstore CVS, what does the V stand for?

[Listener/Guest]

Oh, variable.

[Jose]

In 1957, what was the first animal sent to outer space?

[Listener/Guest]

A dog.

[Jose]

When baking, what's the formal word used for the frost on a cake? I think in US History, how many presidents never married? One, two, or three?

[Listener/Guest]

Two.

[Jose]

All right, Kira, well done. Brooke is going to come back into the studio. And like I said before, Kira, new player. And she's also a barber who apparently focuses on summer cuts for dudes. And, Kira, I am curious about this because it's of kind. Kind of hard to believe what I'm reading. You told our producer that mullets are still trying to be, like, a huge thing now.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yeah.

[Listener/Guest]

Oh, I cut so many of them. Yes.

[Brooke Fox]

Yeah.

[Listener/Guest]

Oh, yes.

[Brooke Fox]

All. There's little buddies, like my son's friends. There's some mullets in the group.

[Jeffrey]

Totally.

[Listener/Guest]

I will say I work right next to the college, though, so I think we have a lot of, like, frat people in the college, so younger people.

[Jose]

And it's not done ironically. It's actually done to look cool.

[Listener/Guest]

Nope. Yeah. Yep, it's cool.

[Brooke Fox]

Yeah. Benson Boone had kind of a mullet for a minute. You know, like, there's some celebrities that are doing the mullet.

[Jeffrey]

Brooke had one?

[Listener/Guest]

Yeah, dude.

[Brooke Fox]

My mom loves a mullet. She's like, I don't know why everybody doesn't get them. Just stays out of your face. But still long. It's great.

[Listener/Guest]

Well, when you put it that way, yeah, it's great.

[Caller/Listener]

All right.

[Brooke Fox]

It's a sensible haircut.

[Jose]

All right. The decade of the mullet. It's coming back, I guess. Here we go. Brooke, it's your turn. Are you ready?

[Brooke Fox]

Yep.

[Jose]

Your time starts now. Today is International Sushi Day. What country is number one one when it comes to eating the most per year?

[Brooke Fox]

Japan.

[Jose]

When referring to the drugstore CVS, what does the V stand for?

[Brooke Fox]

Victoria. Victory.

[Jose]

In 1957, what was the first animal sent to outer space?

[Brooke Fox]

Dog.

[Jose]

When baking, what's the formal word used for the frosting on a cake?

[Brooke Fox]

The icing.

[Jose]

In US History, how many presidents never married? One, two, or three?

[Brooke Fox]

One.

[Jose]

There we go. Answers are in. It's time to go to the scoreboard to see how you both did with our own. Jose.

[Brooke Fox]

I have no idea what I'm talking about. I'm not thinking.

[Listener/Guest]

I'm just talking.

[Jeffrey]

You got three correct today.

[Brooke Fox]

I think she made that V, like, really stuck me. I couldn't get past it. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

And Brock for

[Brooke Fox]

it was victory.

[Jose]

No, sorry, Kira. It wasn't quite enough to win. Let's go over the answers. It's International Sushi Day, the number one country in terms of eating the most sushi per year. Obviously it's Japan.

[Game Host]

Actually.

[Jose]

Ukraine is second. Then America is third.

[Brooke Fox]

Ukraine landlocked too.

[Jose]

But they share a lot of cultural stuff with Japan. Lately they've had like a Japanese revolution.

[Brooke Fox]

Wow, that's interesting.

[Jose]

Super into sushi. When referring to to the drugstore cvs, the V stands for value. Consumer value store.

[Jeffrey]

It's hard to think of though.

[Jose]

In 1957, first animal sent to outer space was a dog. A Soviet stray dog named Leica.

[Brooke Fox]

Poor Leica.

[Jose]

A hero to this day.

[Jeffrey]

It came back, right?

[Jose]

Yeah, sure. Let's not go.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Jose]

Won't go into it.

[Jeffrey]

Google it.

[Jose]

When the when you're baking, the form word for frosting on a cake is icing. And only one US President never married James Buchanan, who ironically rocked a mullet.

[Listener/Guest]

There we go.

[Jose]

So, Kira, I'm sorry it wasn't enough to beat Brooke. But just for playing, we are going to give you a pair of tickets to see MGK perform at White River Amphitheater on June 30th.

[Listener/Guest]

Oh, how fun. Thank you. Yeah.

[Brooke Fox]

Well, there you go. So are you going to go back to the carpool with your head held high? Even know you lost?

[Listener/Guest]

Yeah. I mean, I feel like three is a pretty good score. Besides, next time I call and I'll definitely beat you.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke Fox]

There you go. That's a good attitude. And it's not like your husband's gonna hear it. He's gonna sleep through this segment.

[Listener/Guest]

No, he'll sleep through the whole thing. It's fine.

[Jose]

We'll come back and play again soon. We're gonna do Winbrook's bucks same time tomorrow.

[Listener/Guest]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

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.

[Jose]

It feels good to get good news. It feels good to Geico.
