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

Jose
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.
Jose
Soon to be friend.
Game Host
Yeah.
Caller/Listener
Yeah.
Brooke Fox
Well, we'll get to that in a second.
Caller/Listener
Sorry, what did you say your name was?
Brooke Fox
I'm Brooke again.
Caller/Listener
Hi, Brooke.
Listener/Guest
Hi.
Caller/Listener
What's your last name?
Brooke Fox
It's Fox. Brooke Fox.
Caller/Listener
Brooke Fox. All right.
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.

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 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.
Jeffrey

Brooke Fox
Absolutely.
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?

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.
