[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Shockingly, I have in law stress for Thanksgiving coming up. No, you never. And Jeffrey almost had to start living at work. Yeah. So you find out why coming up. But we love to highlight your comments because they really. It means a lot that you take your time out of your day to day. Let us know what you're thinking about. This would made me happy. Auto Love said listening from Sweden. And I love listening to this while eating meatballs. Sweet.

[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Are you playing into the stereotype or is that for real?

[Alexis]

I don't know.

[Brooke]

I have questions, but I'm hungry. I want to see. Maybe we should IKEA get some of those ones. Yeah, let us know how legit the IKEA Swedish meatballs are. Do they like check out for if you actually are in Sweden. This is the important topics we need to cover. I mean seriously. All right, let's get to this brand new full hour right now.

[Jeffrey]

If you've ever attended a sporting event, then you know what? Kiss camp. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And I should probably say a professional sporting event because I know Brooke tried to start a kiss cam at her daughter's little league softball games. Kind of made all the other parents feel a little uncomfortable.

[Jose]

Guys, the flashlight's on you.

[Brooke]

Just because I wanted the camera on me multiple times, like I didn't understand the problem.

[Jose]

You're scooting next to other guys.

[Brooke]

Who wants to kiss me?

[Jeffrey]

Come on, umpire, get in here.

[Jose]

Why are you at second base, lady?

[Jeffrey]

But we've seen other variations on it. Like some places were doing the cold play cam for a little bit.

[Jose]

Remember that? That's funny.

[Jeffrey]

Now the hockey team, the Nashville Predators are going viral thanks to their new Florida man cam.

[Brooke]

That's really good.

[Jeffrey]

You can see the photo of it up on our insta stories at Brooke and Jeffrey. But they debuted at a recent home game against the Tampa Bay Lightning as a way to troll any Tampa Bay fans in attendance.

[Jose]

So smart, so funny.

[Brooke]

And they actually put a headline like the camera pans to him. There's like a newsp paper around the picture of the person and it has.

[Jeffrey]

A crazy Florida man headline on it. It's different for each person they go to, but they panned a different Tampa Bay fans to feature the photo and some of the headlines were, Florida Man Steel Zamboni crashes into a tavern. Florida man uses Python to Play Tug of War with crocodile.

[Jose]

That's a good one.

[Jeffrey]

Florida man throws Catfish through Drive Thru window.

[Jose]

Okay, don't waste good catfish.

[Brooke]

It's funny until someone gets really hurt by this.

[Jose]

Yeah. Wait, who's?

[Jeffrey]

Like, how did they know who would get hurt?

[Brooke]

I mean, the guys. You know, you don't want to be Florida man. You're getting, you want to laugh at other people being Florida man, but it's probably a big realization if your picture gets up on that jumbo truck.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, well, wherever you live, you're probably going to start seeing other teams jumping on with the Florida man cam. So if you're a little bit sensitive.

[Jose]

Oh no. Any Florida team is ruined. Now the Marlins. Like, if you're an away team, you're.

[Brooke]

There's going to be a lot of white men going, wait, do, how does my outfit look? Do I look like a cameraman before I go?

[Jeffrey]

So that's the Florida man cam. Now we're going to move on to the shot cam with the shot collar. Question of the day. And a man who not really very big into sports.

[Brooke]

Oh, really?

[Jeffrey]

He just kind of follows it more.

[Jose]

Ironically, our digital producer, J Fantasy league guys.

[Jeffrey]

As a joke.

[Unidentified Female Host]

It'S a bit. But you know what isn't? Today is National Stress Awareness Day.

[Jose]

Oh, I'm stressed and I'm very aware.

[Unidentified Female Host]

It's the perfect time to take a breath, Papa Xanny and realize statistically speaking, someone in this room is probably a mere seconds away from a total meltdown.

[Jose]

Yeah.

[Unidentified Female Host]

And oftentimes it's me only just someone.

[Brooke]

I'm sure it's not some two or.

[Jose]

Three or like all of us.

[Unidentified Female Host]

Believe it or not, there are other jobs out there that are considered more taxing than working in morning radio.

[Jeffrey]

No.

[Brooke]

Shocking.

[Jeffrey]

It is lies.

[Unidentified Female Host]

So let's honor them today with a special America's Most Stressed Jobs edition of plenty of 20.

[Jose]

This is gonna be good.

[Unidentified Female Host]

A new study analyzed 700 occupations around the US to find out the top 20 most stressful careers. And I'm letting you know, service unit operators, like people who work with any kind of large heavy machinery or giant oil drills out in the ocean. We're taking all those off the board. There were so many different sections of them, we combined them, threw them all out.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, okay, no heavy machinery.

[Unidentified Female Host]

We'll start with the woman who causes most of the stress for car insurance agents.

[Jeffrey]

That's Alexis.

[Brooke]

They could use a little excitement.

[Unidentified Female Host]

Alexis, top 20 most stressful jobs on the board. I'm gonna go.

[Brooke]

I mean, they're so calm in the room with you as doctors, but then you watch shows like Craze Anatomy. Look at all the drama. Yeah, those are so true.

[Jeffrey]

But it's not work drama. That's like romantic drama in between surgeries.

[Brooke]

A little bit of both. Sometimes there's a bomb placed inside somebody's human body.

[Jeffrey]

Get at least two of those.

[Jose]

And Rebecca's flirting in the middle of surgery.

[Jeffrey]

Come on, Rebecc.

[Brooke]

So that taught me doctors.

[Jose]

Yeah, that's a good.

[Unidentified Female Host]

Doctors. The medical field. Nurses, orderlies. Let's take that number 18 off the board. Good work, Alexis. Brooke.

[Brooke]

All right. One that's making a lot of headlines lately because they're having a hard time getting people to do it and hire them is air traffic controllers.

[Alexis]

Oh, yeah.

[Unidentified Female Host]

Air traffic controller. Right above it at number 17 on the list.

[Jose]

Very stressful.

[Unidentified Female Host]

Yes. Jose.

[Jose]

I'm going to go. People that literally save lives for a living. And say firefighters.

[Brooke]

They're going to say doctors. Again, I'm like, Jose.

[Unidentified Female Host]

Firefighters and forest fire inspectors, people who are on the lookout for forest fires. That's number two on my list.

[Jose]

Whoa.

[Unidentified Female Host]

Jeffrey.

[Jeffrey]

I don't know if it's really stressful, but I do keep running into these guys whenever I'm out. I probably met three in the last month. Pipe layers. You know, dudes who lay pipe.

[Brooke]

Yeah. They got stressful.

[Jeffrey]

They seem pretty stressed. At least when we first meet plumbers. Pipe layers.

[Jose]

Sorry.

[Unidentified Female Host]

Pipe layers. Number 16.

[Jeffrey]

Wow.

[Unidentified Female Host]

We're talking about the most stressful jobs. Because Natural stress awareness day.

[Jeffrey]

Because laying pipes. Not easy. Brooke.

[Unidentified Female Host]

Alexis, we're back to you.

[Brooke]

I'm torn. Half me wants to say vets because my friend is a vet surgeon and it's the owners of the pets that stress her out. Emergencies.

[Jose]

Imagine emergencies.

[Brooke]

But I think. I don't know if I'll be on there.

[Jeffrey]

I'm gonna go.

[Brooke]

Delivery drivers because of road driving stuff.

[Jeffrey]

You're just saying that because you were a delivery driver.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Unidentified Female Host]

You were picking between animal surgeon and deliver drivers and you went delivery driver. Is that what I'm hearing?

[Brooke]

Have you been in traffic when you're late and you have. And when you're waiting for an order, the person is messaging you over and over again.

[Jose]

Stress delivery driver.

[Brooke]

No.

[Jeffrey]

Did not make the.

[Alexis]

On there.

[Brooke]

I'm going to be mad.

[Unidentified Female Host]

Brooke, it's your turn.

[Brooke]

Okay. I'm thinking dangerous jobs. And I know one of them that's really dangerous is underwater welder.

[Unidentified Female Host]

Kind of similar to Pipe layers.

[Brooke]

But it's not.

[Jose]

Welding is underwater.

[Unidentified Female Host]

Welders make my list. I was willing to squeeze on one of these answers, but Brooks said I was way off base with the pipeline or thing. So I'm going to say that's wrong. Brooke. And we're back to the boys to finish us off.

[Jeffrey]

All right.

[Jose]

Well, I got to say, I mean, just as important as firefighters are. Policemen.

[Unidentified Female Host]

Number three, Jose. Taking the easy ones right off the top of the board. Police, sheriffs.

[Jeffrey]

Again. I keep running into these guys whenever I'm out and they're constantly looking to blow off steam. And I tell them, bluff, whatever you want, bro. Sailors. Sailors did make the list.

[Unidentified Female Host]

It wasn't take long. Shoreman on the list as well. Number six. Jose. We're back to you.

[Jose]

Anyway, I want to steal her answer now and say vet in general.

[Brooke]

Steal it then.

[Unidentified Female Host]

Go ahead.

[Jose]

I'm just going to do it. Please be on the list. Yeah, absolutely.

[Unidentified Female Host]

Who's on the list?

[Jeffrey]

Veterinarians.

[Unidentified Female Host]

I'm also going to take animal control workers off there as well.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. Jeffrey. Oh, how many head chefs have I run into in the past month? They are not in good moods. Give me head chef. Chef.

[Unidentified Female Host]

Chefs or cooks. It doesn't have to be the head chef. Chefs or cooks is on there.

[Jeffrey]

Well, they always tell me they're the head.

[Unidentified Female Host]

Jose. We have maybe 10 left on the board.

[Jose]

Then I'm going to move on to a very important position. That must be very stressful. The president of the United States of America.

[Unidentified Female Host]

The president. I'm sorry, he must not have answered this survey. And that means Jeffrey has won today's edition of plenty of 20. Some of the things you guys missed on the stressful list. Flight attendance was pretty high up there. Highway maintenance workers. People who are out there with the flags out there on the road.

[Jose]

Actual construction.

[Unidentified Female Host]

Brooks, dad, Electricians. Ambulance driver. I took a little bit between police and fire there. Landscaping. Correctional officers and locomotive engineers. You just got to keep it on the tracks.

[Jose]

Train engineers.

[Unidentified Female Host]

Good rule of thought.

[Jeffrey]

All right, so I got the most ready get to choose who gets shocked. They're going to be singing Don't Stop Believing by Journey. It just feels like an Alexis song.

[Unidentified Female Host]

She's on a streak right now.

[Brooke]

We like her singing.

[Jeffrey]

Well, yeah. And she's a small town girl living in a lonely world, so go for it. Alexis.

[Brooke]

Okay. Just a small town girl in a lonely world. She took the midnight train going anywhere.

[Jeffrey]

Stressed out guy driving that midnight train.

[Jose]

Someone stressed out keeping it on the track.

[Jeffrey]

That's your shock dollar question of the day we got your phone tap coming up in just a few minutes.

[Alexis]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

If you were like me, you were raised on Barney the purple dinosaur.

[Jose]

I liked Barney.

[Jeffrey]

He taught kids all the important life lessons. Have good manners, never lose your imagination. And if the cops ever raid your house, remember, flush your stash and go hide in an old refrigerator.

[Brooke]

What? Don't do that, kids. Literally. That's how children die.

[Jeffrey]

That's what Barney went to a hiding spot, kids. But he also preached a lot about sharing and caring. So in honor of Barney, today we're all gonna share our personal thoughts. We're gonna flush them out for you, just like Barney would have wanted.

[Jose]

I don't have to throw away my stuff, do I?

[Jeffrey]

No, you can hold on to that because it's a brand new what's on your mind? Coming up right now. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And I feel like where are you? Is probably the least used phrase in sign language.

[Unidentified Female Host]

Right there.

[Jose]

Yeah, or it said a lot. No one's there to see it.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, that'd be a tough one to pull off. Maybe an easier question to ask is what's on your mind? Like we do on the show every day, where we share what each member of the show's been thinking about lately, starting with Brooke. Brooke, what's on your mind?

[Brooke]

Okay. The Thanksgiving plans are already starting to be set in motion with my in laws as that chaos.

[Unidentified Female Host]

Right.

[Brooke]

And I am trying my best to remain silent on the group chat.

[Jeffrey]

Uh oh.

[Brooke]

Because there's a big issue over the turkey.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

If we even get a turkey for Thanksgiving this year.

[Jeffrey]

I feel like you guys have drama about turkey every single year.

[Brooke]

In order to get a turkey in my husband's family, you need to go to the farm. Okay. Talk to the farmer, and you gotta ask what the turkey's been being fed. All right? Yeah. How is the turkey living? And then can we meet the turkey?

[Jeffrey]

No.

[Brooke]

You know, just a turkey have a name. That's sad.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, but you don't want a turkey that's had a good life. You want one from a factory that you don't know anything about.

[Brooke]

Here's the thing. I love the sentiment behind that, but at the end of the group chat, it's then that process is expensive because if you get a turkey that you're able to meet, you're spending at least $10 a pound on set turkey. And so now we're worried that we can't afford the turkey.

[Jose]

Well, yeah, because you want a 10 pound turkey that's you know, 100 bucks.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

2.

[Brooke]

Over $200 if you get a turkey for the family.

[Jose]

Yeah. Because you have a big family, so.

[Jeffrey]

So you're regretting the marriage at this point? I. I sense that.

[Brooke]

Can you do ham? But go back to my. My poor family's way of getting turkeys and just going to the grocery store and pick one that's nice wrapped in plastic and bringing it home. Yeah. Could you do that and just tell them you met the turkey? Yeah, like taking it out of plastic. If you have any turkey names that I could name said turkey, let me know.

[Jeffrey]

Text those in 78592. Jose, what's been on your mind?

[Jose]

So last week for Halloween, all of us were Disney villains. And I was Maleficent, the evil queen from Sleeping Beauty. And since I'm a video game streamer, kick.com and YouTube. Hilarious. Jose. I wore my outfit while I was streaming on Halloween. And it's fun. My stream loves it. So a couple hours go by, and I do what I usually do. I order food.

[Unidentified Female Host]

Yeah.

[Jose]

And I go downstairs to pick it up, not thinking. Like, I'm in a full maleficent, like, robe and horns and everything.

[Brooke]

Did you add your red lipstick on, too?

[Jeffrey]

I did not.

[Brooke]

I told you.

[Jeffrey]

That's too bad. It's not complete without it. That looks weird.

[Jose]

So I go downstairs, and there's this sweet old lady, like, who I've met before. And so she sees me, and I'm like, hi. And she's just like, oh, she doesn't like it. She doesn't recognize me or she doesn't like it. So it was kind of awkward, but I'm like, have a good one. And she doesn't say anything.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jose]

So a few days later, it's football Sunday.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Jose]

I'm having fun. I order food. I go down to the lobby to get it. And I should mention I'm wearing my football onesie.

[Brooke]

You look ridiculous.

[Jose]

I look ridiculous, right? And guess who I saw in the lobby? My old lady friend. And I think, this is it. I'm like, I'm gonna redeem myself from the other day. So I do my thing that I normally do. Hey, how are you, friend? And again, she's like, she doesn't remember. Like, we had a whole convo.

[Brooke]

It sounds like not a friend. Friend might not be the right word.

[Jose]

She's my friend. I may not be her friend.

[Jeffrey]

I thought a complaint about this resident to the front desk. For the last two months, they haven't done anything. Yeah, about me? Yeah, about you.

[Jose]

So Anyway, I'm going up with. I'm like, have a good day. And she just kind of shakes her head at me.

[Brooke]

There's only one solution. You gotta start judging her outfits. Yeah, she always be hanging out there anyways. Yeah, that's true.

[Jeffrey]

She could just be a wanderer.

[Brooke]

Lonely.

[Jeffrey]

Alexis, what's been on your mind?

[Brooke]

Well, my little brother Owen can drive now, which is crazy.

[Jeffrey]

Legally or he can just do it.

[Jose]

Please don't tell us.

[Jeffrey]

Legally, he's allowed. Don't tell us. You taught me.

[Brooke]

I didn't teach him, but I needed him to a concert and I need a ride. And I'm like, sure, take my car and you can drive me to the concert. Don't you know that your guys driving skills run in the family? Well, see, I didn't know that. And then I rode with him and I was like, oh, is this how people feel when they get in the car?

[Jose]

Were you holding the handle?

[Brooke]

Holding the handle. I'm like, are you going to break? Are you going to break? We're getting really close.

[Jose]

We're getting close.

[Brooke]

That merging on the freeway, going too slow then going too fast. It was a lot of me yelling at him and him yelling at me to shut up because he knows what he's doing.

[Jose]

I hate that because I was that guy too. I'm like, I know what I'm doing, but I didn't. Like, I almost hit people.

[Brooke]

That's the thing. I'm like, you don't know. Same set of parents that taught him how to drive. As they taught you. Yeah. I am realizing that. And I had a moment where I was like, oh, my God, he's going.

[Alexis]

To total my car.

[Brooke]

It's not going to be me this time. It's going to be him.

[Jeffrey]

It'd be okay if it was his car, but the fact that it's yours. Go ahead.

[Brooke]

Not my car. Full circle. In the Fuller House, it was a full circle. And he is no longer allowed to drive my car, so.

[Jeffrey]

But you made it to the concert.

[Brooke]

I did make it. And my car. There's no visible damage. I don't know what else he did.

[Jeffrey]

That's good.

[Brooke]

All right, Jeffrey, with on your mind.

[Jeffrey]

You guys know, out of everyone on the show, I'm the one who remembers everything. I know all the schedules, all the vacation days, when all the client meetings are, all the email contacts, all your birthdays, for sure. Which reminds me, Alexis, Happy birthday coming up.

[Brooke]

I think we're six months out.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, some early mid next year, some point.

[Brooke]

I know it's coming if there's any brand new listeners. That was all sarcasm.

[Jose]

Yeah, he doesn't remember anything.

[Jeffrey]

I know what you're talking about, brother. You can add one. One more thing to my list of things my brain will never forget, and that's the garage code to our office building. I was leaving work recently, and after a particularly long day, I'm the last one out. And you got to put a code in in order for the security gate to lift up. Okay, So I don't know exactly what happened, but I pull up to the number box, and my brain goes totally blank.

[Jose]

That's happened to me one time, too, when I was like, wait, what's the.

[Brooke]

I have it in my phone now because of that. It happens to me on the bathroom sometimes as well. Oh, the bathro. And they change it. They change it every time someone gets fired, so it is hard to keep up.

[Jeffrey]

That's a lot of number changes. So I try. Nothing's working. At that point, I'm wondering, okay, do I call one of you guys and ask for help?

[Brooke]

Oh, no, don't call me. It's like a memory thing.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. And I cannot admit that that's too shameful to have to reach out for help. So I decide the smartest thing to do is rely on muscle memory, because I've typed in the code a million times. So I reverse my car, and I pull back up to the gate again. Try the code.

[Brooke]

Did it work?

[Jeffrey]

Nope.

[Brooke]

Reverse again, further back this time, all.

[Jeffrey]

The way back up to the gate. Fail. I do this, no joke, for about 15 minutes.

[Brooke]

No, @ that point, I just rammed the bar. Yeah. Drive through it.

[Jeffrey]

I was willing to stay the night in the garage rather than call or text for help, but somehow, by the grace of Jehovah, I pull up one last time. My fingers remember. And the gate lifts, and I'm out. Steel vault brain comes through once again.

[Brooke]

Can we get security footage of you doing this in the parking lot?

[Jeffrey]

Anyway, that's what's been on our minds. You can text in 78592 and tell us what's been on yours. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And a text board's blowing up at 78592. People wanting to tell us what's been on their minds. This one says, wearing my Brooke and Jeffrey sweater. Just got it at the thrift store. Oh, no, look at that. People are already getting rid of them.

[Brooke]

It's kind of like merch for a cause twice, right? Like, we sell them and the money goes to charity, and then they give it to a charity, and then the charity makes more money on it. So I'm looking at the positive.

[Jose]

Brooke will eventually buy it for one penny.

[Jeffrey]

Yes.

[Jose]

And be like, now, see, you came full circle.

[Jeffrey]

It's beautiful. I'm just glad my donation finally got picked up by somebody. Another text says, what's on my mind is people that don't know that you are supposed to have your headlights on when you have your windshield wipers on during a storm.

[Jose]

Oh, they do say that when it's raining heavy, you should have your life.

[Brooke]

It's just kind of like a rule of thumb.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. You know, we all know who they're talking to in this room.

[Brooke]

Alexis doesn't turn her windshield wipers on. Barely work.

[Jeffrey]

Not even in the store. Okay, one more text says, I worked with a man who married his first cousin and had two daughters with her. He was embarrassed about it, so he never admitted she was his first cousin until he got really drunk one night and told everyone. Yikes.

[Brooke]

That is a buzzkill.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. That is the most awkward work happy hour you could possibly attend. Oh, my goodness.

[Brooke]

That was a lot of information.

[Jose]

Yeah, I can't tell if the family got closer or if, like, they separated.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, more fun stories like that.

[Brooke]

Nobody wanted to date the boss's daughters, that's for sure.

[Alexis]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

Well, this is weird. There's a new report out. Out where? You know that movie theater song, let's all go to the lobby? Apparently, it's actually about cheating.

[Brooke]

What?

[Jose]

What the heck?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, listen.

[Alexis]

Let'S all go to the lobby.

[Jeffrey]

They're talking to swingers.

[Brooke]

That is a wild stretch.

[Jeffrey]

What do you think? What do you think they mean by treat? Can't be beat, huh? Disgusting.

[Brooke]

O. Wow.

[Jeffrey]

I just.

[Brooke]

I don't think that that's what it meant.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, really?

[Jose]

I'm pretty sure this girl, the one singing, is the sexy popcorn with her leg kicking up.

[Jeffrey]

Exactly.

[Jose]

In the animation.

[Jeffrey]

Showing a lot of leg, especially for the 1950s for a popcorn bucket.

[Brooke]

If this is what gets you going, Jeff. Whatever. It needs to go.

[Jeffrey]

That's what the report says. And now I'm never gonna hear that song the same way.

[Brooke]

Oh, wow.

[Jeffrey]

God, I hope some of those people get caught someday. Maybe in our latest edition of Busted. Hopefully coming up.

[Jose]

Eddie, that would be boring.

[Jeffrey]

It's happening right after this.

[Alexis]

This sneaky husbands, two timing lives, bad boyfriends, and even worse girlfriends.

[Jeffrey]

They thought they could get away with it, but now they're about to get busted. You can't spell busted without us. Because when you catch your partner being unfaithful, the very first thing you need to do is involve a radio show. Show.

[Brooke]

Oh, man.

[Jeffrey]

That's what I've learned over the years. And we've asked our listeners to reach out and contact us if they have shocking, unbelievable stories of how it happened to them, because we feel if they cheated on you, in a way, they cheated on all of us.

[Brooke]

That's right. Let's get them.

[Jeffrey]

That's right. So let's start it off with Liza today. Liza, tell us how you busted your significant other.

[Alexis]

Yeah, so I guess this is kind of like what you would call my, you know, it's a small world story. So I run my own business on Etsy, and, like, one of the things that I can do for customers is stickers. You know, I can make custom stickers with their requests.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Jose]

Yeah, stickers are.

[Alexis]

Yeah. So I got a request for this bachelorette party. I said, okay, cool.

[Jeffrey]

It was.

[Alexis]

It was a pretty big order. I was excited about it until I started, you know, scrolling through the order, seeing what their design was. And it was a picture of the groom, who was my boyfriend.

[Brooke]

But that was nice of him to give his fiance a restaurant. You know, he referred you.

[Alexis]

Yeah, yeah, no, that's the thing. I. I don't think that the maid of honor or the girl herself who are sending it in. I don't. They had no idea.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God. Oh, yes. They probably just recommended a local business.

[Alexis]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

[Brooke]

So.

[Alexis]

And I mean, I had only been dating this guy for like two or three months, so it wasn't like a long time. But I was so confused, and I was so shocked. I was like, what the hell is going on? Yeah, What I did is I actually, I made two massive gift baskets, like custom mugs, custom T shirts, posters, stickers, everything with his face on it. And then I was like, labeled it with like the word cheater all over it. And then I sent one to her and I sent one to his work.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, wow.

[Brooke]

Oh, wow. That's quite the girls party swag. Did you hear? Did the wedding go through? Through?

[Alexis]

No, it did not.

[Brooke]

Okay, there we go. That's the closure I need. Yeah. Also, did you hear?

[Jose]

Is he using the mug at work?

[Brooke]

Yeah, I do imagine that.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Let's keep going over to Alex. Tell us how you busted your significant other.

[Damon]

My girl at the time, she got a new job. I mean, she always, like, worked in finance, and I never really exactly understood what that meant.

[Brooke]

Oh, I'm with you. My friends that have, like, real jobs, I'm like. Like, I don't really know what I do, but that sounds like an important.

[Jeffrey]

My friends who work in Finance aren't 100 sure exactly what they do.

[Brooke]

So that's good.

[Damon]

It all checks out exactly. So she gets this new finance job, and those are weird hours. And she's, like, being really secretive about it.

[Brooke]

She's like, I swear it's just the Asian trade market.

[Jeffrey]

That's why clearly things are not lining up.

[Damon]

It's a little suss.

[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Unidentified Female Host]

Yes.

[Damon]

So one day she gets a call. She has to go in, like, asap. She's like, babe, I gotta go. But I had the day off that day, and I was like, you know what? This has been going on for a couple months. And this just kind of sounded like BS to me. So I follow her.

[Brooke]

Oh, so you know she's cheating already.

[Jose]

You're a PI now.

[Brooke]

Whenever you get to that point, it's like, all right, what did you find?

[Damon]

Well, I found that she didn't go to an office building. She goes to some suburban neighborhood.

[Jose]

Maybe she works from another home.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Damon]

So she goes to some regular old house. She knocks on the door and some guy opens and lets her in. Oh, I go up there, I knock on the door and this guy answers. And I was like, hey, man, my girlfriend's in there. Can I talk to her? Like, can she come out? He's like, yes, you're bro. Of course.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, wow. He's really casual about it.

[Brooke]

Where's the cheating part happen?

[Damon]

Yeah, well, imminently she comes out and I asked her, I was like, this is your office. And she goes, well, I mean, like, yes, I'm a full time sugar baby. And I think I'll be done by three.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, wow.

[Brooke]

So that's what your friends in finance are talking about, Jeff? Yeah, that's what we're doing.

[Jeffrey]

Yes. It's hard to explain that.

[Damon]

Okay, she's not handling finance finances. She's just taking them.

[Brooke]

I'll tell you that. Yeah. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, I think we have time for one more. Let's go to Chloe. Tell us how you busted your significant other.

[Alexis]

First off, I guess that you should know I'm equally bad here because I was also seeing another guy on the side.

[Jeffrey]

This is a double busted story. Okay.

[Brooke]

Even together with this guy.

[Alexis]

Yeah, I shouldn't have done it.

[Damon]

My boyfriend and I were on the.

[Alexis]

Rocks, but one weekend my current boyfriend tells me that he's going out of town for work. So I told the guy that I Was seeing. I'm free.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah. Boyfriend's out of town, so side piece is moving in for the weekend.

[Damon]

Got it.

[Alexis]

So he booked a really popular spa hotel.

[Jeffrey]

That probably isn't a smart move to go to a popular place to do your infidelity, but that's okay. Go for. For it.

[Damon]

Yeah, I wasn't very smart.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Alexis]

All I'm thinking is I'm gonna get a massage, we're gonna go to the sauna.

[Damon]

We're gonna have, like, a wonderful weekend together.

[Alexis]

And who do I run into but my boyfriend and his side piece.

[Jose]

His boss didn't, like, treat him to a spa weekend. Like, here's.

[Brooke]

It's one of those where, like, it's. I feel like it's that spider man where they're all pointing at each other like, who's in the wrong here? Yeah.

[Jose]

And you all are.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Alexis]

You know, great minds think alike, I guess.

[Jose]

Sure.

[Jeffrey]

So do you stick going through with it or do you call it a night at that point?

[Brooke]

No, you high five in between the dry sauna and the massage table.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I guess so.

[Alexis]

The weird thing was that the spa was such a relaxing setting that we.

[Damon]

All just talked it out right there.

[Jeffrey]

So everybody's cool and now you're like a quadruple sort of situation or. What's going on?

[Damon]

Well, no.

[Alexis]

So I. When I got home, I moved out. There wasn't any drama or anything, and I ended up marrying the other guy.

[Brooke]

Well, congratulations, I guess for the first time ever, you're a cheater who succeeded. Great promotion for the hotel, though.

[Jose]

Yeah, must be a nice spot.

[Jeffrey]

That's where love really happens. But hit up our Tech Sport at 78592 if you have a funny story about how you caught your ex ch cheating. And you could be on the next edition of Busted. We got your phone tab coming up right after this.

[Alexis]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

Today we call a guy who just got a new job working the front desk at a hotel. His first day is next week and he told his girlfriend he really wants to make a good impression. Absolutely. So what better way to do that than by putting him in an uncomfortable role play? Training session over the phone.

[Brooke]

Oh, you're evil.

[Jeffrey]

And then I don't know how this is happens, but somehow it gets weird.

[Brooke]

I didn't expect that.

[Jeffrey]

It's not like our show. But it happens in your phone tap. Right now it's another phone tap. Weekday mornings on the 20s.

[Damon]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Well, hello there. Is this Jason?

[Damon]

Yes. Who's calling?

[Jeffrey]

Hi, Jason. I'm calling from the hotel. My name's Terry. Teri. Okay.

[Damon]

Oh, hello.

[Jeffrey]

Hello. Apparently, you were just hired to be our new front desk person. Yay for you.

[Damon]

Yes, thank you. I'm excited.

[Jeffrey]

I know that you're starting your first day with us next week, so I'm gonna be the one training you. Lucky dog, you.

[Damon]

Yes, lucky me.

[Jeffrey]

Lucky me, too.

[Damon]

Okay. Yes. I can't wait. I'm ready.

[Jeffrey]

I bet you can't wait. So, anywho, when you get here, you know you're gonna have to hit the ground. Run. Just to make sure that you're fully prepared and extra positive with the guests, we should do a little role play.

[Damon]

You mean do it now? On the phone?

[Jeffrey]

No time like the present.

[Damon]

Okay. Yeah, I thought I was starting my training when I get there the first day, but sure.

[Jeffrey]

Let's just pretend that I'm a hotel guest.

[Damon]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

I'm walking past the desk, and you're walking towards me. We make eye contact and go, oh, hello there.

[Damon]

Hi. Welcome to the hotel. How can I help you?

[Jeffrey]

Hmm. You know what? I like that. But can you go even bigger, even happier with it?

[Damon]

Oh, yeah. Okay.

[Jeffrey]

You know, we need to make our guests feel like we're spreading positivity during their stay.

[Damon]

Of course.

[Jeffrey]

And go.

[Damon]

Good morning, sir. How's your day?

[Jeffrey]

Louder. Make it louder, Jason.

[Damon]

Okay. Hi there, sir. Good morning. How can I help you?

[Brooke]

Wow.

[Jeffrey]

I love it. Keep going with it.

[Damon]

Oh, okay. Yes. How may I help you today?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, gosh. Why are you so darned happy there?

[Damon]

I don't know. How would I respond to something like that?

[Jeffrey]

Well, you gotta be ready for it. You gotta stay on your toes. You meet a lot of grumps at the hotel who just get mad over everything.

[Damon]

Right? Right.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, you know, so let's try it again. Why are you so darn happy?

[Damon]

Oh, it's just a positive day today, sir.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, really? Is it because I just found out my wife cheated on me 20 minutes ago?

[Damon]

Oh, my God.

[Jeffrey]

Don't remember. Turn it into a positive and go.

[Damon]

Yes, sir. Well, you know, we have lots of. Of guests at the bar, and maybe that means it's a new day for you today. And. And a complimentary drink on the house.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, are you propositioning me, fella?

[Damon]

What?

[Jeffrey]

Cause I am interested. Spin it. Go ahead and spin it into a positive. And go.

[Damon]

Yes. Okay, Terry. Yes, thank you, sir. I'm flattered, but I, I, I do have a girlfriend.

[Jeffrey]

Are you rejecting me? Because if you are, I'm gonna give this hotel a bad review online.

[Damon]

No, no, sir. We don't reject anyone here at the hotel.

[Jeffrey]

Good. Now kiss me on the mouth.

[Damon]

Wait a minute.

[Jeffrey]

And fool around with my belt buckle there, sailor.

[Damon]

Okay, Siri. I mean, it's a little far. No guest is gonna do that.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, are you kidding me? I had four guests do that to me just last month. I felt like the belle of the ball. You gotta make them feel happy no matter what. That's your job, Jason.

[Damon]

You're saying that's actually part of my job? I'm not sure that's. I don't know if I'll be able to work there.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, but Jason, your girlfriend Julie was so excited to have you start working at the hotel. She's gonna be so disappointed.

[Damon]

How do you know that?

[Jeffrey]

Because she's only one of my best customers. And the person who set you up for this prank phone. Isn't that weird? Oh, my God.

[Damon]

Oh, my God. Who is this?

[Jeffrey]

Because my real name is Jeff from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. We're doing a prank on you.

[Damon]

Oh, my God. You gotta be kidding me. I'm sweating over here. Oh, my God.

[Jeffrey]

No, it was your girlfriend Julie's idea.

[Damon]

This was her idea.

[Jeffrey]

Well, she wanted to wish you good luck. Cause she's super excited about you starting your new job.

[Damon]

Almost had a heart attack. It wasn't gonna be gonna work.

[Jeffrey]

That's a great idea. If a guest has a in the lobby, what do you say? Spin it into a positive and go?

[Damon]

I say have fun with that at the hotel.

[Alexis]

Wake up every morning with phone tabs. Weekday mornings on the 20s. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

Why can't dating be more like sports? The rules are clear, the goal is obvious. And every everybody's butt looks incredible. That's the dream. Even the hockey players. Yeah, but nope. No, no. Dating has to be all random and confusing and subjective. And it goes on and on and on until eventually nobody wants to play anymore.

[Jose]

Yep, that's for sure.

[Jeffrey]

Well, luckily, one of our listeners may have just fixed it.

[Brooke]

What?

[Jeffrey]

Cause she came up with a brand new dating strategy and it relates to the year that she was born.

[Brooke]

Really?

[Jeffrey]

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of our single listeners wanted to try this for themselves. You're gonna find out what she's doing in your brand new second date update. Next second date update. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And when you turn 30 years old and you're still single, some people handle it just fine.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

But others, not so much. They start looking around, wondering, why am I The only single person at the bar right now.

[Brooke]

You're not. You just feel that way?

[Jeffrey]

No, I am. Everybody else is making out except me.

[Brooke]

Oh, my gosh. That doesn't mean they're together with anyone.

[Jeffrey]

All my friends are getting married now and they're having kids. Oh, maybe I should start thinking about adopting my seventh cat just to keep the other six company, you know? I want to be a good cat mom.

[Brooke]

Sounds lucky.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, but it's easy. You can get self conscious and down about it, or you can be proactive and do something. And apparently that's what our listener Angela has decided to do when she turned 30 recently. And she said, I gotta switch up my dating tactics. So let's learn about it. Angela, welcome to the show.

[Alexis]

Hi, guys.

[Brooke]

Angela, happy 30th birthday.

[Alexis]

Oh, my God, thank you.

[Damon]

I'm so old.

[Brooke]

Dude, you're not. You're not, but I get it.

[Jeffrey]

So you said in your email that you switched up your dating tactics at 30. What did you do?

[Alexis]

So, like, I've been single for way too long, and I was like, okay, let me try something different. So I thought, all right, I'm obviously not gonna be on, like, the Forbes Best three people in the world, so why don't I do my own version of that? And I came up with 30 for 30 dating.

[Brooke]

Oh, 30 for 30 dating.

[Alexis]

That means I have vowed to go out on 30 dates before the end of the year.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, 30 dates while you're 30 years old.

[Brooke]

Okay. It's like the 30 before 30 bucket list that's trending. But this is 30, guys.

[Alexis]

Wow.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Damon]

Horrible.

[Alexis]

It's been rough. I mean, I've had to speed it up. I'm on 19 or like, I completed 19. But the thing is, I don't know if I want to go on 20 because I really like 19.

[Brooke]

Oh, okay. That's good. I mean, I feel like you should have some fine print in this that if any of the numbers turn out awesome, you don't have to continue, because that's the whole point.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. So I'm assuming that we're calling one particular guy here. But before we get to that real quick, because just because this is so interesting, your situation. So you unique. Could you tell us, like, some of the highlights and lowlights from your 30 for 30 experience?

[Alexis]

Okay, four was a nightmare. Okay. He took me back through and I beat him. And like, the rest of the day, he was kind of just sulking. Yeah, four was a nightmare. Twelve brought his mom.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yikes.

[Brooke]

All you need to say and she.

[Alexis]

Was only supposed to stay for like 30 seconds and she ended up seeing the whole date.

[Jeffrey]

Oh.

[Brooke]

She said the whole time she hold his hand to tell me he was being a good boy. I really liked you.

[Alexis]

Yeah, absolutely. Her and I still talk.

[Jose]

Oh.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, okay.

[Brooke]

Out of the. The last 18 dates, you got a mom out of it. Hey, that's cool.

[Alexis]

What can I say?

[Jose]

Do these dudes know that you are on a challenge or do you just go on the dates naturally?

[Jeffrey]

So that's a really good question.

[Alexis]

So, like, when I first started, I was telling them, like, trying to be all transparent. Like, 1, 2 I told and then. And they acted all weird and everything was just weird about the date. And so, like three and on. I haven't said anything about what I'm doing.

[Jeffrey]

It'd be a good litmus test to see how the guys are about it. If they're chill.

[Brooke]

I mean, I don't know how chill they'd be about it. Jeff. They don't really want to be considered a number.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yeah, unless you're a 10 out of 10.

[Brooke]

But that's what. That's what date 19 was. Does he get a name or do we just call him 19?

[Alexis]

19 is a 19 out of 19. His name is Date Damon.

[Jose]

Oh, wow.

[Jeffrey]

And he gave him a 19 rating out of a 19.

[Brooke]

That's hot.

[Alexis]

I like Damon. Dinner was, like, really good. Like, it was. He's a genuine guy. Like, he has a really nice smile. No pressure. We went for a walk. We kissed. We had like, a really nice kiss. It was super cute and I thought he would be calling and I don't really want to go on a 20. Like, I really want to go out with him again. And if I'm asking you guys, can you please help?

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well, hold on. You skipped really fast. What's the deal with Damon's mom?

[Alexis]

I hope I meet her next date.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, you want to meet this mom? That's good.

[Brooke]

Did anything weird happen on your date with Damon or awkward?

[Alexis]

No, I mean, we ate dinner at a Mexican place. He paid and I mean, all was well. Like, yeah, he was fine. I think, like, maybe almost 200 bucks. Like, it was a really nice. Everything was chill.

[Jose]

That's a nice salsa.

[Jeffrey]

I know.

[Brooke]

That'S guac, not salsa. There you go.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my God.

[Alexis]

Okay, listen, he got a kiss out of it, and I want to see him again.

[Brooke]

Oh. Do you think there's any chance he could have found out about the 30 for 30? Like, are you posting about it on your tick tock? Alexis said that some of these are trending. Yeah.

[Alexis]

Okay. I am posting about it on my Insta, but I don't ever give. But I never give my socials out to anybody. I just start dating. Right.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Alexis]

I don't know how he would find out about that. That. Because it's like not my name on my Insta, but.

[Jose]

Oh, that's what I was gonna say. Search your name.

[Brooke]

But if you heard you're the latest one and it was a good date, I wouldn't be that upset.

[Jose]

You didn't post a bad post about it.

[Alexis]

That's a compliment, right? Thank you.

[Jeffrey]

So how long has it been since you and Damon hung out?

[Alexis]

Oh, my God, it's been like a week and a half and I haven't heard from him.

[Brooke]

Okay, like you've texted, you've called or.

[Alexis]

I don't really double text, but I did text and I did do a call and like, like, that's plenty, right?

[Brooke]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jose]

Don't do anymore. That's the problem is some people don't get that hint and then they keep going. What you need to do is have a radio station call.

[Jeffrey]

Yes.

[Brooke]

What if he's doing a 30 for 30 and he's only on number 17? That's why.

[Jose]

Amazing.

[Alexis]

That would be the pitch. Like, screw him. Like, that's not even it.

[Jose]

You guys can do double dates side by side.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Well, we'll try to figure out what's going on with Damon. When we come back, call him and hopefully get some answers on your 30 for 30 second date update. 30 dates with 30 men on your 30th birthday.

[Brooke]

30Th year.

[Jeffrey]

That doesn't sound as sexy.

[Brooke]

You can't do it all in one.

[Jose]

Day, but they get it.

[Jeffrey]

You understand what we're doing? Second date update right after this. Hold on. Second date update. Welcome back to especially special second date update, 30 for 30 edition. And what is 30 for 30? Yes, it's a little dating challenge our listener Angela gave herself when she turned 30 years old, where she decided, I'm gonna go out on 30 dates with 30 different men before she turns 31.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Cuz she wants to be in a relationship. Like the goal is not to just do this, but it's also to find someone.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. And also a little brag too.

[Brooke]

It's kind of fun.

[Jeffrey]

The thing is, she hasn't even reached 30 guys yet. She stopped at 19 after she met Damon, who has turned out to be everything she was looking for. In fact, she sounds fully ready to go all in on him if she could just get him to answer her damn calls. So we're gonna step in and try and make that happen. Now, Angela, do you have A guy, number 20, lined up just in case? Because we might need to put a little pressure on Damon with a little. Hey, if you don't, somebody else will, okay?

[Alexis]

I don't have a 20. I don't.

[Brooke]

Okay. You really are committed to this guy.

[Alexis]

I am.

[Damon]

I am.

[Alexis]

I hope so.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well, if. I think we're all in agreement, though, that if we get him on the phone, we're not bringing up the 30 for 30 challenge to him. Unless he already knows about it, right?

[Brooke]

Unless he saw her Instagram or something.

[Jose]

We just go by number 19.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Yeah. It's really. It's your business, Angela, if you want to bring it up to. To him, that's your decision. We're not going to say anything, but let's just call his number. We'll see if he picks up. And here we go.

[Damon]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, is this Damon?

[Damon]

Yeah, it is. Who's this?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, man. This is a radio show, actually, called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Brooke]

Hi, Damon. Hey.

[Jose]

Hey, good morning.

[Brooke]

Sounds like we caught you. Maybe you're busy right now or something. Something.

[Damon]

I mean, it's not that I'm busy. I just don't. I. I don't know why the radio station is calling me.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, that's funny, because we know you. At least we've heard about him. Well, not in a creepy way. In a good way.

[Jose]

We've heard a lot about you.

[Jeffrey]

I don't think that's how I said it, but.

[Jose]

Okay, you're right.

[Jeffrey]

We. We've heard glowing reviews about you from one of our friends, a listener to our show, a woman named Angela.

[Damon]

Oh, the girl I went out with? That Angela?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Because what we're doing here, it's called the Second Date Update, and we're just trying to help out Angela. She feels like after your hangout, you've been blowing her off a little bit.

[Damon]

Yeah, I've been. I've been blowing her off a lot. Like, kind of don't want to hang out with her no more.

[Jose]

Oh, okay.

[Jeffrey]

All right.

[Jose]

That's all on purpose.

[Brooke]

That sounds like something wrong.

[Jeffrey]

Well, that's really interesting to hear, because when we delved into your date, she couldn't figure out anything that went wrong that night.

[Brooke]

Yeah, sounds like from the way you're talking, it should be obvious.

[Damon]

Uhhuh. Well, I feel more taken advantage of than.

[Jeffrey]

And not in the good way. Like, the bad way.

[Damon]

Yeah, I feel Violated my pocket.

[Brooke]

Wait, she said that you paid for dinner? Is that what you mean?

[Damon]

Yeah, I paid 200. She doesn't tell y' all that.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, she said 200, but she made it seem like that was totally agree and that you were happy to offer that.

[Damon]

That's totally not true. I mean, I was actually kind of coerced into it.

[Brooke]

Coerced?

[Damon]

Yeah. Like, she does videos. She records videos.

[Brooke]

Videos of what?

[Jose]

She's like an influencer.

[Jeffrey]

Like, on the date she was recording.

[Damon]

Videos, she was doing food reviews. That's why she ordered $200. It wasn't that we were caught up having a great time.

[Jose]

Oh, my gosh.

[Jeffrey]

No.

[Brooke]

Oh, so wait, she, like, ordered one of everything on the menu so she could try it?

[Damon]

Yeah, and I'm. I mean, it's like the whole you and not the happy hour menu. It was.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God. And then. I mean, the weird part is you're at dinner and then they're just on their phone. Yeah. Recording. Yeah. Like, did she even talk to you?

[Damon]

No, she told me to kind of be quiet, so I don't interrupt.

[Jeffrey]

Now I understand a little bit more why you feel like you were used.

[Brooke]

Yeah. You kissed. I thought she told us that you had a great kiss.

[Damon]

I mean, hell yeah. I'm not gonna turn it down.

[Brooke]

What he suffered through the least.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. You deserve a review on how your kiss kiss was. Because, in fact, we might be able to give it to you right now, since Angela has been on the other line, listening, wanting to talk to you.

[Alexis]

God.

[Damon]

Why? Why? Okay.

[Brooke]

Okay. Angela?

[Jeffrey]

Angela, are you there?

[Alexis]

I'm here.

[Brooke]

Oh, you sound embarrassed.

[Jeffrey]

Why? Don't be embarrassed. You. I'm upset. Why didn't you tell us that this was for a food review?

[Alexis]

Well, it wasn't for a food review. That's what he's just assuming, but. Hi, Dan.

[Damon]

Damon.

[Jeffrey]

Damon. Damon, talk to Angela here.

[Damon]

Hi. I mean, hey. Yeah, whatever. You kind of faking the funk right now? You know that you had your phone out the whole time. We really didn't connect on anything. And you didn't even eat all the food. It was just like, you will order the most expensive dish to take one bite and move on to the next dish.

[Alexis]

No. Oh, my God. Like, I know I had my phone out, but it wasn't a food review. And honestly, Damon, we had like. It was $200. You had an appetizer. I had an appetizer. You had an entree. I had an entree.

[Damon]

No, no, no, wait, slow down. You had all of that alone yourself? Oh, And I. I remember because I was the cameraman, Remember you told me, hold this phone.

[Alexis]

I know. Oh, my God. I'm so sorry. I feel. I feel really crappy about that part of mental health. It wasn't a food review.

[Jeffrey]

Angela, you gotta explain. Why were you making him film you while eating the food?

[Alexis]

It wasn't for a food review. Like, honestly, I like you. And the reason why you're on the show today is because I turned 30, as you know, earlier this year, and I just made a personal goal to go out on 30 dates for my 30th year of life. Oh, and I wanted to do a video for Instagram. And you're number 19. Okay, Dalen, that's what's going on. You're number 19. And I don't want to go on the 20th, though. I don't like. I'm trying to tell you I like you. I don't want to go on the 20th. I like you a lot. And that's what the video was about. It wasn't like trying to order a bunch of food. It was just doing my own little silly 30 for 30. That's it.

[Damon]

Okay, so what happened to the other 18 dudes?

[Alexis]

The other 18 are wherever they are. I didn't go out on a second date with them. I didn't like them. I wasn't interested. And now this is where it stops.

[Jeffrey]

So none of it was actually about reviewing the food. It was just kind of B roll content to talk about date. Yeah.

[Damon]

If that's the case, why wasn't I in the video at all? I was just filming you eating because.

[Alexis]

I respect your privacy. Like, I wasn't gonna put you on black like that.

[Jeffrey]

I am curious, Angela. Did the other 18 dudes all have to pay for your meals too, and film you eating also?

[Jose]

Great question.

[Alexis]

So the thing is, there's no have to, right? Nobody's making anybody's entertaining.

[Jeffrey]

Strongly suggested that they do. I get it.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God. I mean, David, where are you at knowing that this was all part of a challenge?

[Damon]

I mean, I don't like being a part of somebody's elaborate game that they're trying to have to, like, boost their own self esteem. Because, you know, I have all.

[Alexis]

It's not games, though. It's not games, it's goals. It's goals and objectives.

[Damon]

Yeah, I'm number 19. Like, you got 10, 15 more people to go. Like, come on.

[Alexis]

I don't have anybody else to go. I want to stop with you.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, that's. That's the point is this may have all started out as, like, a fun experiment for her, like, an interesting way to meet people. But once she met you, Damon, she decided, I'm out. I'm fully committed to Damon if he's willing to give me another chance.

[Brooke]

Yeah, and she didn't even want to tell you about it because she knew that it probably wouldn't feel good. That's true.

[Jose]

You know, like, it'd be weird.

[Jeffrey]

In fact, she rated you a 19 out of 19, which is the highest rating you can have. Yeah, up to 20.

[Alexis]

You know, if we went out again, there would be, like, no phone. Like, I wouldn't do any of. I mean, that was literally just some social stuff. Damon. Like, it's not anything like that. Like, I'm just trying to.

[Damon]

All right, enough.

[Jeffrey]

Okay?

[Brooke]

I like this. Damon's taking charge. What do you need to say if.

[Damon]

We go out again? No phone. How about this? We go out again. You spending 200 on me.

[Brooke]

Okay. Wow. There's a challenge for you.

[Jeffrey]

I like that, too, because that's a challenge.

[Damon]

How about you end your challenge on that?

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so it's a yes from Damon. Now it's up to Angela. Will you accept his terms and conditions?

[Alexis]

No. I don't like his energy now.

[Unidentified Female Host]

What?

[Jeffrey]

What?

[Alexis]

Angela?

[Jeffrey]

You gotta be kidding me.

[Brooke]

Dude. Angela, we worked so hard for you. You better pay for that, D. I'm not, like.

[Alexis]

I don't. Like, first of all, like, just slow. I didn't make you pay for anything.

[Brooke]

But this whole.

[Alexis]

This whole attitude like, that energy is not gonna work for me, like you say. Okay, why don't we make it, like, be a little more polite about it? Like, he's been. I don't think. I didn't know you was gangsta.

[Brooke]

That was ridiculous.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, man.

[Brooke]

You know what? He's matching your challenge. That's all he's doing.

[Alexis]

No, he's not. It's my challenge. Find your own challenge.

[Jeffrey]

All right, well, time is running out on this segment. So, Damon, any last words before we let you. You go.

[Brooke]

Wow.

[Damon]

Don't let the game play. You play the game.

[Jose]

Okay, well, you kind of got played, bro.

[Brooke]

He says the guy that's out 200 bucks. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Brook and Jeffrey in the morning. Oh, imagine Brooke one day.

[Brooke]

What?

[Jeffrey]

You end up going 60 for 60?

[Brooke]

Oh, my God.

[Jeffrey]

60 dudes in your 60th year.

[Brooke]

Dude, I do not want to enter the dating game again.

[Jose]

That's true. It does go up, up as you get older.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Jose]

Challenge gets harder.

[Brooke]

Dude, she said no. I know what is. Now I'm like, there's a reason she's been on 19 and nobody.

[Jose]

Her intentions were a little shady at the end there.

[Brooke]

I thought it was, like, so cool. He was, like, matching her energy. You know, you want a person that will push back a little bit. You know, the give and the take.

[Jeffrey]

Gave too much, took too little. But looks like Angela has to move on to guy number one. Number 20 in her 30 for 30 quest. And I just hope, Okay, I hope whoever that guy is has a good job and steady hands, because clearly dinner's not going to be cheap and he's gonna have to hold the camera the entire night.

[Brooke]

You know what? I don't even want to follow her on socials. He doesn't have to, remember.

[Jeffrey]

Right, right, right.

[Brooke]

It's a choice.

[Jeffrey]

That's right. Maybe that's what modern chivalry is. It's not about opening doors and pulling out chairs anymore. It's holding their cameras and choosing to pay the bill.

[Jose]

I'm just gonna ask that on next date.

[Jeffrey]

Excuse me, but do you think I.

[Jose]

Could use your phone and take a picture of you?

[Jeffrey]

What a gentleman. The dating world's weird, and that's why we're here to help. If you ever need it, reach out to the show. We'll call that person who's not calling you back. And go check out all of our second date updates. They're online wherever you get your podcasts at. Brooke and Jeffrey.

[Alexis]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Jeffrey]

If you get married and your wedding day ends up going viral, that either means something really, really good happened at it or something really cringey bad. Yeah, it's Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. And I'll let you decide which category this one falls into.

[Brooke]

That's fun.

[Jeffrey]

We get to choose because a French guy named Dagobert Ranouf tied the knot recently. Dago will tell you, weddings, even French ones, can get pretty expensive.

[Jose]

I would imagine.

[Jeffrey]

But the thing about Dag is he's an entrepreneur.

[Brooke]

Okay, Dag, what are you doing?

[Jeffrey]

He's a visionary. And that's why he decided to turn his wedding day into a full on business opportunity.

[Jose]

Oh, he's gonna make money.

[Jeffrey]

And instead of cutting costs or maybe limiting the guest list, he decided instead he was gonna sell ad space on his wedding tuxedo to sponsor their special day. Yeah, just like a NASCAR driver. Look, here's a picture of Dag in his ad space tux. What do you think? How handsome is he?

[Brooke]

I mean, I will say it's tasteful that he kept it black and white all the ads. Right. What do I see? I see comp. A lot of AI ad companies here. Small bets.

[Jeffrey]

He ended up walking down the aisle in a suit covered in logos from 26 different startup companies.

[Brooke]

How much did he make?

[Jeffrey]

I'll tell you exactly how much in just a second. But meanwhile, if you look at the picture, his bride, I mean, I don't want to say selfish, but zero ads anywhere on her wedding gown.

[Jose]

You know, not even the wedding dress are like.

[Jeffrey]

Not even the veil.

[Brooke]

I thought she'd sell her forehead tattoo something.

[Jeffrey]

Nothing. But when asked about his return on investment, Dago said the ads ended up paying for the tux itself.

[Unidentified Female Host]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Plus an extra two grand left over.

[Jose]

Okay, that's good. That goes. Like, the appetizers even.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Honestly, like, not worth it in Brook's eyes.

[Brooke]

He needs to up his ante. He just needed a bigger social media following, and now he has it. So they need to redo the wedding now.

[Alexis]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jose]

He's fully dressed like Ronald McDonald. McDonald's is sponsored.

[Brooke]

Yeah, that's it. That's it. That'd be good.

[Jeffrey]

Well, he did get a lot of admiring reactions online. Many people were praising Dag's creativity and marketing instincts.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I mean, it's better. Better than nothing. For sure.

[Jeffrey]

None of the compliments came from women, but that's cuz women don't get what weddings are really about. It's all. It's all about Roi.

[Brooke]

Does anyone really care what the groom wears? Anyway, no one's ever talking about the talk, so people probably didn't even notice.

[Jeffrey]

But for any potential brides and grooms out there who might be a little strapped for cash, consider turning yourself into a little walking billboard when you say I do.

[Brooke]

And you can maybe put some taglines into your vows.

[Jeffrey]

I do love you so much.

[Jose]

And don't forget, right now, it's two for $5.

[Brooke]

That's what I'm talking about.

[Jeffrey]

Laser Stories. Coming up right after this, it's the radio segment that's up in the Bridal game where you can forget champagne while you try on dresses. Just head down to wedding game Gowns and wings.

[Brooke]

Oh, wings. That's very messy. Not white friendly.

[Jeffrey]

Try on your Vera Wangs while eating Buffalo Wangs.

[Alexis]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Don't worry, they give you a bib, so you'll be fine.

[Brooke]

I see. I see. The rest of the dress would be fine.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, with Laser Stories. The segment where we read weird news stories around the globe just like everyone else does. Except we've got a laser. Those other drumstick divas Just don't.

[Brooke]

It's just like a giant napkin at that corner.

[Jeffrey]

This first laser story is out of Port St. Lucie, Florida. Last weekend, 21 year old Jimmy Glover was dressed up for a Halloween party when he made the mistake of getting behind the wheel after too much drinking.

[Jose]

Ain't nobody got time for that. Plus the cops know there's more cops out on Halloween.

[Brooke]

No matter how much rideshare costs at night, it's still cheaper.

[Jeffrey]

Well, early in the morning, officers pulled him over and did a field sobriety test. In the body cam footage, you can see Jimmy attempting to walk the straight line without much success.

[Jose]

Yeah, you're toast, buddy.

[Jeffrey]

So they took him down to jail.

[Jose]

Well, that's his own decision.

[Jeffrey]

Well, maybe the best part of the story though is Jimmy's Halloween costume was a prison orange jumpsuit.

[Jose]

I didn't see that coming.

[Brooke]

Like, dang it, why wasn't I a K pop Demon hunter.

[Jeffrey]

You manifested this?

[Jose]

Darn.

[Jeffrey]

The sheriff's office posted a pic of the arrest with the caption locked up inmate Halloween costume was already dressed for.

[Jose]

Arrest, that is they use his own cuffs against him.

[Brooke]

The good thing is when you use those usually put fake tattoos on you. So maybe he looked tougher.

[Jose]

You know, no one messed with him when he got in.

[Brooke]

Maybe next year he dresses as a clown and a circus comes along and picks him right up.

[Jeffrey]

Would that be nice? But if you were wondering, no, they did not not make him change his clothes during his jail visit.

[Brooke]

They didn't.

[Jeffrey]

He didn't need to.

[Jose]

Well, not all jails are orange is what I'm saying.

[Brooke]

Yeah, well, I mean, you're just locked up for a dui. They're not gonna have you change.

[Jose]

There is like, go sleep it off.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

This next laser story is out of Russia.

[Jose]

Oh, scary.

[Jeffrey]

A 42 year old factory worker named Sergey Koslov is being sued by his company because he mistakenly received all his co workers paychecks in his his account. All of them.

[Brooke]

Let's hear. I'm not reporting this. If it happens to me, dude, that would be wild. Please tell me there was a lot of people at this company.

[Jeffrey]

There was a decent amount, cuz that came out to about $87,000.

[Jose]

Do you think he tried to subtly tell people like everyone lunch on me today.

[Brooke]

Why is he being so nice?

[Jeffrey]

It's in the news. Cuz he's refusing to return it.

[Brooke]

Well, he. You know what? That's because he just finally got the pay raise he thinks he deserves.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, the company says there was a software glitch and it was supposed to be paid out among 34 employees. Okay, but Sergey says he did his own research online, and he learned that if it's a billing error, he's obligated to return it. But if it's a technical error, like in this case, it's actually his call whether or not to return it.

[Brooke]

You know what?

[Jose]

Is that true?

[Brooke]

I don't know that I would trust AI Mode on that piece of lawyer advice.

[Jose]

At least he has 80k for a legal case.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, yeah, well, he's going with it, so naturally that's what he did. Kept it to himself.

[Damon]

Oh, no, she didn't.

[Brooke]

Nobody's celebrating his birthday in the break room. Oh, yeah, nobody's in the break room.

[Jeffrey]

They all be super awkward at work the next day. This happened a while back, and in the first two rounds of cases, courts have sided with the company. Yeah, but now Sergey has appealed to Russia's Supreme Court, and they've agreed to look at it.

[Brooke]

Okay, you've already lost twice, buddy. Yeah, third time's a charm. Doesn't typically work in this type of.

[Jose]

And again, this is gonna cost him money by going to court.

[Brooke]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

Good thing nothing else big is happening in Russia right now where the Supreme Court is like, let's focus on this. For sure. We're will keep you updated. This next laser story is out of snacksgiving. You haven't even fully digested those fun siiz Snickers bars yet. And we've already moved on to the next holiday, Turkey day. I say that cuz Oreo just announced a new special edition tin of cookies that all taste like Thanksgiving gravy.

[Brooke]

Cookie Jones Soda did this.

[Jeffrey]

It's the same idea. You can't get them in stores, only online.

[Brooke]

Okay. They look actually pretty tasty. Like, there's a cranberry one, a yellow one, an orange one.

[Jeffrey]

It comes in six different flavors, which include turkey and stuffing, sweet potato, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, caramel apple, and creamed corn.

[Brooke]

Friends givings this week. Can I just bring. This counts as making a whole meal. And then give the cream corn one to the one friend you dislike.

[Jeffrey]

So with this deal, you get two of each flavor and you can order a full tin for $20 plus shipping. We do have a link up on our Insta stories at Brooke and Jeffrey. The question is, does anybody really want an Oreo that tastes like turkey and stuffing?

[Jose]

No, I want an Oreo that tastes like Oreo. So good.

[Brooke]

Yeah, like. Tastes like chocolate.

[Jose]

Just do like, the quadruple stuff. Like, they keep adding more Stuff.

[Jeffrey]

How boring are we?

[Brooke]

I know.

[Jeffrey]

This next laser story is out of the workplace world.

[Brooke]

Talk about boring. Jeff, let's go.

[Jeffrey]

Here we go. Here's a pretty crazy exercise. If your office or team at work has about a dozen people scan the room and consider this. Statistically, one of those people may have hooked up with the boss.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Know that 12 cuz the poll asked have you ever been in a romantic relationship with someone at work who is your superior? And 9% said yes.

[Brooke]

Hey.

[Jose]

Which means our elderly GM is getting.

[Brooke]

Some action on the side, trying to think which salesperson.

[Jose]

Or it could be someone in the room.

[Brooke]

Not me, cuz I always date down. He's got a lot of money. Works over in promo.

[Jose]

Yeah, yeah, promo.

[Jeffrey]

So that means the promo kids are saying yes though.

[Alexis]

I'm married now.

[Brooke]

Married now. I don't do that.

[Jose]

Oh, that doesn't matter, bro.

[Jeffrey]

So 9% said yes. Another 2% said prefer not to say weird thing to select if you haven't done it.

[Jose]

Why do I have to answer this? I'm leaving.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. So then people were asked, have you ever been in a relationship with someone who you were the boss of? And 8% of those people said yes.

[Jose]

The one to time, I was training a girl at Subway to close and we made out and I got fired.

[Jeffrey]

I don't know if you're her boss.

[Jose]

That's what he said.

[Jeffrey]

He was like, you were the lead.

[Jose]

You were her trainer, blah, blah, blah.

[Brooke]

I was 16. You're a coworker.

[Jose]

Yeah, I was like literally a child, that guy.

[Brooke]

Your boss.

[Jose]

16 years old.

[Unidentified Female Host]

Right.

[Brooke]

And your manager was 18 and a half.

[Damon]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

He probably wanted to hook up with her.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. You left it feeling like a boss, that's for sure.

[Jose]

Yeah, that's for sure.

[Jeffrey]

So our romantic relationships between bosses and subordinates, always a bad thing. 73. 73% of people say it's usually unacceptable.

[Jose]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

But 3% of people say it's always acceptable.

[Brooke]

Hey, boys.

[Alexis]

Hey.

[Brooke]

How you doing? Dare you blame me at that moment.

[Jeffrey]

Not surprisingly, Gen Z and millennials are more cool with it than older adults. But as for this guy, if you actually go to his LinkedIn page, he has a quote featured on his business profile telling all prospective employers he is down to clown.

[Brooke]

Hey. Hey. Hi.

[Jose]

In the interview, he's saying it.

[Unidentified Female Host]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

At least he's up front.

[Jeffrey]

I think he means like office clown. I'm the silly guy.

[Brooke]

I don't think so.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, maybe not. That sound means laser story has come to an end. For the day, we'll do it. Again, same time on Friday. Today's player is only on the show because of her nine year old son, Calvin.

[Brooke]

All right, Calvin.

[Jeffrey]

Calvin loves the show.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's awesome.

[Jeffrey]

Just like his mom did back when she was in college. So it's kind of a sad family tradition to pass down to your children, but, hey, who are we to judge? Please welcome to the show, former listener, current stay at home mom. Big round of applause for Arbel.

[Brooke]

Wait, you don't listen, but your son does?

[Alexis]

No, we listen together every morning on our way to school.

[Jeffrey]

But she puts her fingers in her ears and goes, la, la, la, la, la. Not funny.

[Unidentified Female Host]

Oh, no.

[Alexis]

We play along with Winbrick's books.

[Brooke]

I see, I see. Who does better, you or the nine year old?

[Alexis]

He just repeats what I say.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so he does better. So let's time. Arbel played you, Brooke. It was a tie game.

[Brooke]

Oh, we played before.

[Alexis]

So we have.

[Jeffrey]

What will happen this time? We don't know. Let's find out. Brook's going to leave the studio, and you know how it works. Arbel, you got 30 seconds to answer as many questions as possible. If you don't know when you could say pass. But you have to beat Brook outright if you want to win. Are you ready?

[Alexis]

Ready.

[Jeffrey]

Good luck. Your time starts now. On this day in 1935, Parker Brothers started selling the Landlord's game, which we know today is what Monopoly known as the fastest man alive. Name the Jamaican athlete who won eight gold medals at the Olympics. The famous Trevi Fountain is located in which European city?

[Alexis]

Paris.

[Jeffrey]

What state grows the most apples in America?

[Alexis]

Washington.

[Jeffrey]

In hockey. What's the name of the vehicle that cleans and smooths ice?

[Alexis]

The gazebo.

[Jeffrey]

In which decade did Internet explorer debut?

[Alexis]

19. 1999.

[Jeffrey]

We needed a decade, but, you know, you weren't really specific. I love that. Okay, go the extra mile, Arbel. Well done, Brooks. Now back into the studio here, and we like to ask a lot of our listeners if they have any family holiday traditions that they do, just in case we want to steal it for ourselves or possibly report you to Santa. So what is our Bell's family tradition? Apparently, she puts a tree up the day after Thanksgiving.

[Jose]

Yeah, a lot of people do that.

[Jeffrey]

Now, is it just one tree or do you do multiple in your house?

[Alexis]

Just one.

[Brooke]

Interesting.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, we've heard more of a trend of people putting more trees in their house. You should consider putting maybe 10 in your house.

[Damon]

That's too much.

[Jeffrey]

Well, three could be up on the roof. Make it decorative up top.

[Brooke]

I feel like at this point, just move out of your house and move into a forest. Yes.

[Jose]

Move into a tree.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Yes. Tell Calvin that you're living in the woods now.

[Alexis]

I think he would like that.

[Unidentified Female Host]

Yeah, sure.

[Jeffrey]

As long as he still gets reception for our show, then we're all good.

[Jose]

That's true.

[Jeffrey]

All right. Well, I hope you have a happy holidays. Arbel. Brooke, it's your turn. Are you ready?

[Brooke]

I'm ready.

[Jeffrey]

Your time starts now. On this day in 1935, Parker Brothers started selling the Landlord's game, which we know today as what Monopoly, known as the fastest man alive, named the Jamaican Jamaican athlete who won eight gold medals at the Olympics. The famous Trevi Fountain is located in which European city?

[Brooke]

Rome.

[Jeffrey]

What state grows the most apples in America?

[Brooke]

Washington.

[Jeffrey]

In hockey, what's the name of the vehicle that cleans and smooths Zamboni machine? In which decade did Internet explorer debut?

[Brooke]

90S.

[Jeffrey]

Snuck that answer in. Right in the nick of time. We're going to go to the scoreboard to see how you both did with Jose D. She wants a D and she's going to get one.

[Jose]

Arbel, you got three correct today. That's pretty good, Brooke. Six in a row.

[Alexis]

Oh, that was pretty good.

[Brooke]

Firing on all cylinders today, Arbo.

[Jeffrey]

Brooke was on it. Let's go over the answers for everybody. On this day, 1917, 35, Parker Brothers started selling the Landlord's game. We know it as Monopoly. Fastest man alive is. The Jamaican athlete Usain Boltz took home eight gold medals across the Olympics. Trevi Fountain is famously located in rome, built in 1762.

[Brooke]

Oh, it's not as old as I thought it was.

[Jose]

Yeah, it's still old.

[Brooke]

I know, but sometimes when you go over there, you're like, what? This is what? How old?

[Jeffrey]

Just barely older than the United States. United States. EW isn't even impressive. The state that grows the most apples in America is Washington state. 60% of all apples produced in the USA come from Washington. In hockey, the vehicle that cleans and smooths ice is called the Zamboni Gazebo.

[Jose]

Made sense. She said gazebo. And I could see your logic.

[Jeffrey]

There are bell it definitely tracked. And the decade Internet Explorer came out in was the 1990s. Yes. So we gave her credit for 1999. Arbel, I'm sorry it wasn't enough to beat Brooke today. But good news is just for playing, you do win a 50 gift card to graze craze Brie merry and bright this holiday season with next level charcuterie, premium meats, cheeses and more handcrafted for your guests.

[Alexis]

Thank you.

[Brooke]

Yes. I'm going to be disappointed.

[Alexis]

He is. But that's okay.

[Brooke]

That's kind of what we are as parents. Just one big disappointment before we leave. The older they get, the more disappointed they get.

[Jeffrey]

Thanks for playing. Come back and play again soon. We're going to do Winbrooks Bucks same time tomorrow.

[Alexis]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
