Brooke
Hey, it's Thanksgiving week and we've got you covered with full hour episodes this week.
Jeffrey
Yeah, who else is pre funking? You gotta eat a turkey every day. So you're still in the connection.
Alexis
Oh, start now.
Jeffrey
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Alexis
That's really funny.
Jeffrey
Or get mashed potatoes every day.
Brooke
See, I start with a Cornish game hen and then slowly work my way up.
Jeffrey
Then a chicken.
Brooke
Yes. Until I'm eating a full turkey all on my own.
Harper
Wow.
Jeffrey
Pretty soon it'll be ostrich.
Brooke
Yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure. Well, we're so glad to have you here and we love to start with your comments because you are number one most thankful.
Alexis
Yes, you are. Speaking of Thanksgiving, Anna said, I feel like Jeff is the type of person that has those separation plates at Thanksgiving so his food doesn't touch like a child.
Jeffrey
I thought you were talking charger plates. You mean the little like actual.
Brooke
I love this.
Jeffrey
As a kid raised areas.
Brooke
I could see that for Jeff.
Host Jeff
Yeah, me too.
Brooke
He's not really a mix of food up type of guy.
Jeffrey
Oh no, not at all.
Alexis
But he's having a plastic kids plate.
Brooke
It's like a gold plated.
Alexis
Nice one.
Jeffrey
And I bet he doesn't even like pour gravy. I bet he has mash and then dips a little bit on the gravy. Doesn't he seem like a gravy dipper?
Brooke
So annoying.
Lilia
Just kidding.
Brooke
We love Jeffrey. All right, you're gonna get lot of them. Here's your full hour right now.
Host Jeff
You ever done something so stupid? Oh, it's actually genius. No, it's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Brooke
Isn't that the whole basis of this show?
Host Jeff
Pretty much. Okay, I asked. Cause one very questionable decision just gave us our new hero of the week. His name is Maurice Lawson from Spotsylvania, Virginia. And the other day he. He decided to play the state's lottery pick five game. Oh, very simple too. You just pick out five single digit numbers.
Brooke
Okay.
Host Jeff
There's two drawings per day. You match the numbers, you win.
Brooke
Okay.
Jeffrey
It's not like the main lottery.
Host Jeff
Well, Maurice purchased four lottery tickets.
Brooke
Yeah.
Host Jeff
And Jose, you're a lottery guy.
Digital Jake
Yeah.
Host Jeff
Usually when you play the lottery, the strategy is to pick out a few different combinations of numbers. Yes.
Jordy
Right?
Host Jeff
Yes.
Jeffrey
Well, no one picks the same numbers.
Host Jeff
Maurice doesn't think like we do. He went with the bold strategy of using the same exact numbers on all four lotto tickets.
Jeffrey
That defeats the purpose.
Host Jeff
He went 4, 3, 4, 4, 4.
Brooke
Wait, four times?
Host Jeff
Those were his numbers? Logically. Terrible idea.
Jeffrey
That's very dumb.
Host Jeff
And trust me, the show is very familiar with terrible bad ideas.
Brooke
You know that there's at least five people that are like, I still don't get it. Sounds good to me.
Host Jeff
It's like going all in as soon as you walk up to the craps table. Yes, but wouldn't you know it? Those turned out to be the exact winning numbers for the day.
Jeffrey
Four, three.
Host Jeff
Four, four, four.
Brooke
Does that mean he wins four times?
Host Jeff
Jeff, here's where it gets interesting. Because on two of Maurice's tickets, he wagered exact order. So both of those win the top payout of $50,000.
Alexis
Oh, wait, each?
Brooke
He doesn't have to split it each one 50,000.
Host Jeff
On the third ticket, he chose any order that won 10 grand. And on the last ticket, he played the 5050 option, which K. So in total, thanks to his very dumb choice, he won a hundred and forty thousand dollars. Wow. In one drawing.
Jeffrey
Congratulations.
Brooke
That's actually. So we're the idiots. If he would have just bought the one ticket, he'd only won 50,000.
Host Jeff
That's right, Maurice.
Brooke
Wow.
Host Jeff
We are so sorry. Forever doubting your genius. You are our hero of the week.
Jeffrey
Oh, my gosh.
Host Jeff
Good work, Maurice. Now for him, back to your regularly scheduled stupidity with the shot collar. Question of the day over to Digital Jake to bring our IQs even lower. Let's do it, Jake.
Digital Jake
For the last few days, we've been trying to answer the age old question. Does too much self tanning spray literally suck the intelligence out of a human body?
Alexis
It's not tanning spray.
Jeffrey
Roll on tan.
Alexis
It's natural.
Digital Jake
We're tackling that question head on by playing three seconds with Alexis.
Host Jeff
All right.
Digital Jake
It's a game that tests the limits of human knowledge, or lack thereof, in a heart pounding race against the clock that makes the Fast and Furious franchise look like a casual stroll in the park. Alexis only has three seconds to squeeze an answer out of a few remaining brain cells that survived her college years. Will you bet on her or will you not? It's three seconds with Alexis.
Brooke
All right.
Digital Jake
Okay, we're gonna start with Brooke. Okay, Brooke, your category for Alexis is Famous ponies.
Brooke
Ponies?
Digital Jake
Yes.
Lilia
Okay.
Digital Jake
Will Alexis get it right or wrong?
Brooke
I'm so torn because if it's like racing horses, I would say no, but if it was My little Ponies, then I would say yes. I think when you say ponies, you're thinking of the cartoon character, so I'm gonna say she knows it.
Digital Jake
All right, Brooks. Betting on Alexis to get this right. Alexis, when I Stop reading the question and you hear the timer, you can start answering.
Lilia
Okay.
Joanna
All right.
Digital Jake
In 1982, the toy my Little Pony, I knew it, was created by Hasbro and sold to kids around the world. I'm gonna tell you three of the pony's original names, and you have to pick the one that's made up. Makes sense. I'm gonna give you three. You picked the wrong one. Is it Snuzzle, Butterscotch, or Minty Bottom?
Host Jeff
What?
Alexis
Oh, Minty Bottom is fake, right?
Digital Jake
That is correct, Alexis.
Brooke
I wouldn't even know that.
Digital Jake
There was a Minty and there was a Blossom, but there was no Minty Bottom.
Host Jeff
You gotta go onto those weird dating sites to find Minty Bottom.
Digital Jake
Take your word for it, Jeffrey. And we'll also take the questions over to you, Jeff. Okay, your category for Alexis is 90s movies.
Host Jeff
Oh, my God. Okay, you guys do a whole thing where Alexis watches old 90s movies and does reviews on them.
Digital Jake
Where?
Host Jeff
Jeff, on our podcast, the only place.
Brooke
You can hear it. You got to go subscribe to our podcast, My Friend's Classic Movie.
Host Jeff
Yeah, Yeah. I haven't listened to any of the podcasts. Every time I walk in the studio, she seems thoroughly confused and, like, turned off by every single 90s movie she watches.
Brooke
Not true. She enjoyed the Princess Bride because of Princess.
Alexis
I said it was okay.
Brooke
Yeah, I'm going to say I'm not.
Host Jeff
A fan of 90s movies. She's not going to get this right.
Digital Jake
Jeff's betting against Alexis again. Alexis, as soon as you hear the timer, you can start guessing.
Lilia
All right.
Digital Jake
The movie Forrest Gump came out in 1994 and was critically acclaimed among critics and viewers alike. It won a lot of awards. Brooke actually made you watch it this past year, so you should be familiar. Name one other character in it other than Forrest and his love interest, Jenny.
Host Jeff
Oh, no.
Alexis
Who else is there?
Jeffrey
Lieutenant. Lieutenant Jenny. Bubba Garland. Sorry, guys.
Alexis
I thought Bubba comes to the restaurant. Oh, no, it's the guy.
Brooke
Yeah.
Digital Jake
Could have named a handful of US Presidents, any historical figure.
Brooke
Elvis Presley, for goodness sake.
Alexis
I was solid St. Jenny.
Digital Jake
Yeah, I had just. Anybody listed here that you could have just.
Host Jeff
And his name.
Jeffrey
The news reporter that interviews him.
Alexis
I didn't really like that movie.
Host Jeff
Good work, Alexis. You did me proud.
Digital Jake
Yeah, Jeffrey bet against you, and you got it wrong. So Jeff and Brooke are both safe right now.
Jeffrey
Wow.
Brooke
Okay, it was one you just watched.
Digital Jake
Let's move on. Finally, to Jose. All right, Jose, your category for Alexis is children's books.
Jeffrey
Oh, I think she likes children's books. And still reads them all the time.
Brooke
Oh, really?
Jeffrey
I'm gonna say she's going to get this right.
Digital Jake
Jose's betting on Alexis. All right, Alexis, your question is in the very famous kids book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Who was the owner of the chocolate factory?
Alexis
Oh, it's Willy Wonka.
Digital Jake
That's correct.
Alexis
We all got it right.
Host Jeff
Oh, my gosh. That was Alexis.
Digital Jake
Everybody's safe.
Host Jeff
She's smart.
Alexis
I'm our new hero of the week.
Lilia
Yes.
Digital Jake
I will not go that far.
Host Jeff
You ever done something so stupid? It's actually genius.
Digital Jake
I won't go that far. Alexis. But that was another rousing edition of.
Jeffrey
Three seconds with Alexis.
Brooke
Hey, go listen to Gen Z versus classic movie on Spotify. Search Brooke and Jeffree.
Host Jeff
Now that we all got our predictions right, I think that means Digital Jake is gonna have to take the shock.
Digital Jake
Wait, did I invent a game where Alexis is impossible for her to get shocked?
Host Jeff
I did not think this through. And so Digital Jake will be getting shocked while singing I Want it that way by Backstreet Boys.
Digital Jake
You are my fire.
Brooke
Sing it, Jake.
Digital Jake
The one what desire.
Host Jeff
You can take that on tour. I would pay for that. Was your shot collar. Question of the day. We got your phone tab coming up in just a few minutes.
Brooke
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Host Jeff
There are certain days where you never forget where you were when the earth shattering news dropped. Jeffrey in the morning.
Brooke
That's true.
Host Jeff
Today is one of those days.
Brooke
What news are you giving to us?
Host Jeff
Hold your loved ones tight. Because Campbell's Soup just released its annual poll ranking America's favorite Thanksgiving side dishes. And for the first time in 60 plus years.
Brooke
Show me green bean casserole.
Host Jeff
Mashed potatoes was not voted number one.
Digital Jake
Don't say it's a soup.
Jeffrey
Mashed potatoes and butter and gravy.
Brooke
The best thing in the world. More than soup.
Host Jeff
No, it fell to number two. This behind stuffing.
Brooke
Oh, okay. Yeah. I'm sorry. Am I the only one in the room? I'll take stuffing over potatoes.
Jeffrey
Do you like wet or dry?
Brooke
Oh, wet.
Jeffrey
I like wet stuff.
Host Jeff
You're a potato family from Idaho.
Lilia
That's true.
Jeffrey
Idaho.
Brooke
I couldn't eat potatoes until I was about 14. I would gag on them. It was like a texture thing.
Host Jeff
Yeah, you need to cut them up and chew them. Stop trying to swallow them.
Brooke
I didn't even like french fries as a child until my mom showed me to dip it in mayonnaise. And then I was like, oh, God.
Alexis
This is what I'm going to remember.
Host Jeff
About this very dark day in the Food world. And it gets worse cuz the rest of the top five are. Number three, sweet potatoes.
Brooke
Oh so good.
Host Jeff
Number four, green bean casserole and number five, Mac and cheese. How is a green vegetable ranked ahead of macaroni and cheese? Is this even America anymore?
Jeffrey
It's not, Jeff.
Host Jeff
Next year Brooks gluten free matcha kale muffins are gonna be in the top five.
Brooke
You are gonna love those. They don't even taste like kale.
Host Jeff
Forward the poll found over half of Americans say they like Thanksgiving sides more than the entree portion of the meal.
Jeffrey
Yeah, I love turkey. Like oh, turkey's mid.
Alexis
My family doesn't even do turkey. Mostly just sides, a lot of corn, breasts.
Jeffrey
Potatoes. So funny.
Brooke
It's like a KFC bread bowl and not shocking.
Host Jeff
It's going to be a dark, dark Thanksgiving this year. Now we all know why Laser Stories is coming up right after this.
Jeffrey
Hello, it's Laser Stories.
Host Jeff
It's the radio segment that's encouraging shoppers to buy the hot new tech toy this year.
Lilia
Really?
Host Jeff
The gravy fit smartwatch. It counts your steps, tracks your heart rate, and most importantly, dispenses warm gravy out the side every time you hit 500 calories. Screw the potatoes, drip it straight into your mouth 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 sauce bosses just don't. This first laser story is out of the place. That's number one in our hearts and number one on the police scanners. Florida. A 41 year old man named Anthony Day was recently spotted marching down the middle of a suburban street smiling and waving. Oh yeah, he was also completely nude.
Brooke
He's doing the slow streak. You know, you don't run, you just really show it off.
Host Jeff
Yeah, that's the weird turkey trot for sure. On top of that, it wasn't warm out. The temperature was only 36 degrees and Anthony wasn't even wearing socks.
Harper
Okay.
Jeffrey
Oh wow.
Brooke
Well, I mean, that's his excuse, right? That it was cold out? He wanted to make sure that was part of this news story. So everybody in case came across the photos.
Host Jeff
Anyway, a driver saw him and they called police. Cops asked Anthony what was going on and he said something about it being a TikTok prank, but he didn't even have a phone on him.
Brooke
Where would you keep it, Jeff?
Jeffrey
Yeah, there's a. There's a drone above the clouds filming.
Brooke
Yeah, sure.
Host Jeff
He also didn't want to answer any more questions. To protect his privacy. And initially gave the officers a fake name and a fake address.
Jeffrey
To protect his privacy.
Harper
Yes.
Host Jeff
And he was charged with indecent exposure, disorderly conduct, and resisting an officer without violence. So he was booked in jail still naked.
Jeffrey
Oh, my gosh.
Brooke
I mean, you're just kind of serving him up, right?
Host Jeff
Maybe more impressively, he's still sticking with his story. Telling guards that he's still doing the TikTok challenge and they should smile more cause they're on video.
Jeffrey
Guess where the camera is.
Brooke
I keep waiting for you to say something about drugs, but I haven't heard that yet.
Jeffrey
No, this is just normal Florida behavior.
Host Jeff
Typical.
Brooke
Sorry.
Host Jeff
Next laser story is out of California. Three adult brothers got together recently to clean. Clean out their parents house.
Brooke
Oh, goodness.
Host Jeff
Their mom had passed away some time ago, and it was time to get things organized and donate stuff to the goodwill. One of the brothers remember that their mom had said she had some rare comics somewhere. Apparently that she had bought when she was nine years old in the depression era of San Francisco.
Brooke
That's cool.
Host Jeff
So the men looked all over the place and finally found a dozen tucked away in an old box inside the attic.
Alexis
Okay, I mean, how much are they worth?
Host Jeff
One of the comics was titled Superman Number One from 1939.
Jeffrey
No, it's not. The detective comics version turned out to.
Host Jeff
Be the very first superhero comic ever produced. Wow.
Jeffrey
Way this is priceless.
Brooke
Go mom, go.
Jeffrey
Wow.
Host Jeff
It looked to be in near pristine condition.
Brooke
So I thought she mentioned it. You know, if she had it, they would have just tossed a box without looking at it.
Host Jeff
Yeah, guys took it to an auction house to have it appraised. And this past weekend, it just sold. Sold for $9.1 million.
Jordy
Dang.
Jeffrey
Cheap in my book. Cheap in my.
Brooke
Looks like they can afford to get somebody else to do the rest of the cleanup.
Host Jeff
Yeah, that's a record for a comic book. And it's not even close. The previous one was action comics number one from 1938.
Jeffrey
Oh, that's what I thought was that.
Host Jeff
One sold for a measly 6 million just last year.
Brooke
Yeah, you might as well use it.
Alexis
As scraps at that point.
Host Jeff
Toilet paper. Let's go to your next laser story out of the hoagie help desk.
Jeffrey
Delicious.
Host Jeff
It's no secret businesses are kind of struggling right now. But Panera bread has a plan to turn it all around. Oh, and that plan is cutting their tomatoes.
Jeffrey
Oh, yeah.
Brooke
Is that.
Jeffrey
Is that not before an issue?
Host Jeff
That's right. They weren't before, but promised by management next year. Every salad offered at Panera will have cut cherry tomatoes.
Jeffrey
Oh, the little cherry. Those are like little popables. One biter.
Brooke
Well, hey, listen. This is going to turn their whole thing around.
Host Jeff
Yeah. This is groundbreaking. It's all part of how they're going to reverse course on cost cutting moves that shrank salads and sandwiches. And that choice backfired big time on them and led to a huge drop in customers and sales.
Brooke
So they got into the boardroom and they're like, all right, how are we going to fix this, guys?
Host Jeff
That's right. The CEO said the new strategy is the complete opposite. It's called Panera Rides, and it includes plans to refresh old interiors, put more money into labor, open some new locations, and make sandwiches bigger. And cut those darn tomatoes. Take back the White House. Yeah.
Brooke
You mean investing in your own business could actually help profits?
Jeffrey
Investing in your employees, making them happier?
Host Jeff
I know. It sounds crazy to me.
Lilia
Yeah.
Brooke
It's not gonna work. That's not the American way.
Host Jeff
The CEO said we've made the guests chase the cherry tomato around the bowl. But next year, that finally ends.
Alexis
Wow.
Host Jeff
Can't wait.
Brooke
It was the whole reason I didn't get lunch there. You know, it wasn't.
Host Jeff
It's a whole new world. Let's go to your final laser story out of Turkey Headquarters.
Lilia
Yay.
Jeffrey
With the country.
Host Jeff
Or the. Or the.
Jeffrey
Or the bird.
Brooke
Either one.
Host Jeff
We're going with the bird on this one. Okay. No matter how serious you are about your diet, the biggest challenge of the year for most people is Thanksgiving. Get in my belly.
Jeffrey
It's all carbs.
Brooke
You mean challenges. How much can I eat?
Jordy
Right?
Host Jeff
Sure.
Jordy
Yeah.
Host Jeff
It's a holiday where it's virtually impossible to count calories.
Brooke
Why would you.
Alexis
Who does take the day off?
Jeffrey
Brooke thinks diet means die from it.
Host Jeff
Yes, well, a new report decided to do it for you.
Jeffrey
Jeff. Getting heckled.
Host Jeff
It looked at how many calories people are downing at the Thanksgiving table.
Brooke
Is this the information you're going to.
Lilia
Bring to your Thanksgiving?
Brooke
Thanksgiving?
Jeffrey
Do you know how much calories you just ate? Mashed potatoes, Bite of candy. Yams with 75 calories. You better go hit the treadmill.
Host Jeff
My name's Jeff.
Jeffrey
That's how I talk.
Host Jeff
Okay, you guys, blood sugar is dangerously low right now. Someone needs to feed you a croissant or something.
Brooke
Ruin the holiday.
Lilia
Jeff, go.
Host Jeff
Look, there's good news and bad news from this. First of all, the average American's caloric intake during Thanksgiving is just 2,100 calories.
Brooke
And went to the Hospital. Because her belly was hurting.
Host Jeff
Okay, it's not.
Jeffrey
Not.
Host Jeff
That's not that bad.
Alexis
One bed of Jerry's pint is like 1500.
Brooke
That's got to be before the pie.
Jeffrey
In the nutrition to, say, 2,000 calories a day. That's more than.
Host Jeff
Actually, according to dietary guidelines in the U.S. adults should consume anywhere between 1600 and 3000 calories per day.
Jeffrey
An extra thousand?
Brooke
You know, it depends on what size your vehicle is.
Host Jeff
You know, it also depends on age and weight and your gender. And maybe Brook's severe addiction to desserts.
Brooke
Tell me what a whole pecan pie is, and I will kill you.
Host Jeff
Yeah. Now, of course that's how.
Brooke
That's what I'm gonna eat.
Host Jeff
Those stats are for the whole day, so the Thanksgiving number is only in range if it's your only meal. All of Thursday.
Brooke
Okay.
Host Jeff
With no snacking, no leftovers. And I'm gonna say something you're not gonna like.
Brooke
What?
Host Jeff
No booze. I know, Brooke. I'm sorry.
Brooke
Yeah. And you gotta eat a little breakfast because you gotta prime your stomach. Yeah, you can't go on any. It'll shrink. It won't be big enough to take it all in.
Jeffrey
She's right.
Host Jeff
So, yeah, that. All that. That's the bad news part. Which just proves my point. Everybody has to be careful around Thanksgiving. Like this guy. He saw the slow cooker out and thought it was a tanning bed. Crawled right inside there. I am saying be careful, okay? And that sound means Laser Stories has come to an end for the day. And also, our turtle appetizers are ready, so let's enjoy Thanksgiving. You're the one who said eat more, Brooke. Turtle to means Laser Stories has come to an end for the day. We'll do it again same time on Wednesday.
Brooke
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Host Jeff
Before today, I thought the worst kind of first date was one where your parent randomly shows up uninvited.
Jeffrey
Oh, that is a nightmare, though.
Brooke
Does that happen to you? I feel like it has.
Lilia
Yeah.
Brooke
That's a little descriptive.
Host Jeff
I invite her to those. But, man, I was wrong, cuz. We got a voicemail from a guy who. Who planned a whole date night that actively involves his own dad.
Jeffrey
Oh, my gosh.
Host Jeff
And then it only gets weirder when he reveals the rest of the plan. Plus a new conspiracy theory we've never heard before. And at the dark center of it is a popular kitchen product we all have used.
Jeffrey
We're hearing it. It's definitely true.
Host Jeff
You're gonna hear it when we play all these messages coming up. In a brand new loser line right after this. Hey, girl, what's up with you? Wait a minute.
Brooke
Is this the right number? It's the loser line.
Host Jeff
Come on, just call me back if you haven't heard the loser line before. It works like this. Let's say a guy approaches you while you're out at the club and uses this charming pickup line on you. Hey, girl. Oh, I saw you over there, and I. I'm wondering, are you a campfire?
Jordy
What?
Host Jeff
Cause I think I want some more BT Dubs. My name is Barnaby. Barnaby Wild. Surprisingly single. After he drops that line, whatever you do, don't tell him to pitch his own tent somewhere. Instead, tell him you want to play sleeping bear and you'll be the jar of honey. And that's when you leave him the number of the loser line. So hopefully he leaves an awkward voicemail we can play over the air voicemails like this one.
Harper
Next message. Hi, Drew. It's Joanna. Look, I just want to. I want to apologize and explain again. I just wasn't paying attention because I was on my phone, and I didn't realize that it was the men's restroom that I was walking into. Okay. I just. I went to the last stall and I opened it, and that's where we, you know, met, I guess, officially, you know, for the first time. What's important here, Drew, is I just want you to know that I was only running out screaming creeper, because I thought that you were in the women's restroom, which I feel really stupid saying now, because clearly I was the creeper in that situation. So, anyway, I just. I want to make it up to you somehow. Like, maybe. Maybe I can take you out to dinner. And I guess, I promise if either of us needs to use the restroom, we'll go into separate ones and I'll read the signs better, I guess. I don't know. Next message.
Jeffrey
That's the funniest image of a girl walking into the men's room, opening a stall and going, greenberg, get out of here. I knew I'd get up and go. I'd be like, I'm sorry.
Brooke
The sad thing is, is if no one witnessed it, they probably actually banned the guy from the place.
Host Jeff
You know what I mean?
Brooke
Because they're like. He's like, no, no, no. I swear. Yeah, right.
Jeffrey
This guy was in the bathroom stall.
Lilia
I swear.
Host Jeff
Although walking in on someone while they're in the toilet is Brooke's love language.
Brooke
So it's interesting that she's found him attractive in that position. She was kind of coming on.
Host Jeff
Yes, that bar had to offer that.
Harper
Next message.
Joanna
Hey, I hope this isn't gonna ruin things, but my dad's gonna drive us on our date, and it's not what you think, like, you know, like DUI or. Well, it's.
Jordy
Well, actually.
Joanna
All right, it's a dui, but, yeah, I. I mean, I don't want to make this weird, but I was thinking, like, if my dad's coming, maybe would you want to, like, invite your mom to come? Yeah, I don't know if she's, like, single or anything, but since my dad's coming and if your mom was there, too, you know, maybe that would be cool, because my dad's dropping us off at the burger place. He's probably just gonna, like, sit there and wait till we're done, and then after, he'll take us back home, so. I mean, we could do whatever we want there. He's. He's pretty relaxed about, like, rules and stuff like that. He's not gonna bug us, so I don't know. If you want to ask your mom, just let me know if she's down for something like that.
Harper
Next message.
Brooke
I just feel like somebody needs to explain, like, ride shares to him.
Lilia
Yeah.
Brooke
You know what I mean?
Alexis
Like, this is a chance.
Brooke
This is a moment that you spring for that, like, I understand you can't drive. You don't have your Dr. Driver's license. You made a terrible choice. But, yeah, let's take care of it.
Harper
In a different way.
Jeffrey
May not be worth saving the 20.
Host Jeff
Yeah.
Lilia
Yeah.
Host Jeff
But you know what's even better double date idea than that?
Brooke
What?
Host Jeff
Is gathering around the iPad with your family and watching the Brooke and Jeffrey Tick tock.
Brooke
Why are you shovel dating with your family?
Host Jeff
I'm just going off of this. So many strange and sensual segments are available to consume for brothers and sisters and mommy.
Jeffrey
Oh, I don't want to go there.
Host Jeff
Make sure you watch the video of us in studio reacting to our favorite loser line of the week before you hit the lights and spin that bottle.
Alexis
Baby, you're gonna get us taken down.
Lilia
I don't even.
Brooke
I don't even want to have family dinner with my own family after you said all that.
Host Jeff
I'm just showing you how to get it hot. All right. Turning up the heat by going back to these clips. Oh, yeah.
Harper
Next message.
Lilia
Busted.
Harper
Okay, ladanian, I don't know why you felt the need to lie to me about who you are, and I'm feeling pretty stupid for believing you, but did you think I was not gonna go home and look you up. Like, I thought a white guy's name would be Ladanian and he was a star running back in the NFL. You do realize that all that information is available on the Internet? Yes. So you totally freaking lied to me. And I really, really wanted to believe you because I just thought, well, even though he's short, maybe out of shape, maybe he's like super fast or crafty on the field, I really wanted to believe you, but absolute bull. And your little friend Levy or whatever the hell his name was, pretty sure he was not the person that you said he was either. So lose my number. Don't text me. Good luck with your freaking fake NFL career, idiot.
Host Jeff
So you're telling me there's two white, pudgy guys running around telling women they were pro NFL running backs named LA, Damian and Le'Veonian, Thomason and Levy. They're giving out the loser line to these women afterwards. That's the ultimate troll.
Jeffrey
She's like, look, you may have faked your career, but I have your number.
Host Jeff
Number.
Jeffrey
Yeah, I got the last laugh.
Host Jeff
She believed it for a second.
Brooke
I mean, that's the scariest part, is that people are buying into the story.
Harper
Next message.
Joanna
Dude, I swear, I've never been so shocked in my life. And, like, I'm sorry that I had to walk out of the bar on you after like 15 minutes, but it was just like, who lives like that? Seriously?
Lilia
No one.
Joanna
And I mean absolutely no one is using Brita filters anymore. I can't even believe you still have one. I actually care about what goes into my body, okay? So that's why I drive out like once a week to the well outside my grandpa's house, okay? They get pure, natural, non government treated water. Do you not realize the British part of the Chinese government and they're making them every time you buy a brittle. Congratulations. You just founded the new Chinese nuclear weapon, so good job.
Brooke
I love conspiracy theories. Brita, filters are gonna.
Jeffrey
That's the new thing.
Host Jeff
Who knew that Brita was making the nuclear weapons for all of China's military?
Jeffrey
That nuclear weaponry tastes so crisp. Yeah, very delicious.
Brooke
Can't wait till he gets dysentery from his grandfather.
Host Jeff
Remember, listen to loser line regularly at this time every week. And make sure you subscribe to the Brooke and Jeffrey tick tock.
Brooke
Yeah, no. No filters here, Jeff.
Host Jeff
No, you can hear all of your favorite loser lines right there. Now we're gonna do a phone tap right after this.
Brooke
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Host Jeff
Today we call a woman who's a rare type.
Brooke
Okay.
Host Jeff
She doesn't like going out to restaurants or to big sporting events or concerts. No, she prefers spending her time at the library.
Brooke
Oh, okay.
Host Jeff
According to her partner, Steve, she checks out books all the time and really loves it. The only thing she doesn't like is the city recently reduced the hours that they're open.
Brooke
I mean, seriously, it is not easy to get to the library these days.
Host Jeff
Made her very upset. Now the city's about to make another major change that she's probably not gonna love. You're gonna hear it in your phone tap.
Brooke
Right now it's another phone tap.
Host Jeff
Weekday mornings on the 20s.
Harper
Hello?
Host Jeff
Hi, is this Abigail?
Lilia
Yeah, speaking.
Host Jeff
Hi, Abigail, this is Dave from the public library. I hope it's okay that I give you a call. Has found your number in our system.
Lilia
Sure. What is this about?
Host Jeff
Well, I know that you're always one of our best, most loyal patrons, and we're really appreciative. You always return books on time every week. We wanted to thank you for that.
Lilia
Oh, of course.
Host Jeff
Now, we do need to speak with you about some changes that are going to be coming down the pike over here.
Lilia
What kind of changes?
Host Jeff
Well, as you're aware, the city is in a little bit of a budget deficit again.
Lilia
Yeah, probably for the 28th year in a row. They can't seem to get anything right.
Host Jeff
Yeah, you know, that is fair. They don't manage their money very well. But as you know, the library does fall under the city umbrella. And so while we will not be upping the late fees like some people.
Lilia
I always return my books on time anyway.
Host Jeff
Right. No, I understand that. I'm just saying, starting next month, we're going to be instituting a cover charge similar to a bar or a club. A cover charge?
Lilia
What does that mean?
Host Jeff
Have you not been to a bar or a club? I guess you could go to the library, so probably not.
Lilia
It's none of your business, frankly. Can you just elaborate?
Host Jeff
Well, so if you have a book that you've reserved, let's say, and you just want to walk inside, that'll be $7 at the door.
Lilia
$7?
Host Jeff
Well, $10 on the weekends because, you know, Saturdays and Sundays are our most popular days.
Lilia
What kind of half wooded idea is that?
Host Jeff
We just. We need to find a way to supplement the deficit because we don't have enough money to stay open.
Lilia
So you're going to punish people for going to the library?
Host Jeff
No, not punish. We're gonna charge people, not hit them.
Lilia
This is not okay. You cannot charge people to Go into the library. I'm there every week and I wouldn't pay a quarter to get in.
Host Jeff
You're right, you wouldn't. You'd have to pay $7 or $10 on the weekends.
Lilia
Hey, smart ass, that was just an example. I wouldn't pay a century.
Host Jeff
Well, good, because we wouldn't accept cents. We would only do.
Lilia
I got it.
Host Jeff
We'd only accept credit cards. Okay, I'm sorry. You just. You seem a little bit upset.
Lilia
Yes, of course I'm upset. I go to the library every week. I take books out every week. I return them every week. Okay, now you're telling me I need to pay you to come into the library?
Host Jeff
Yeah, exactly. I've heard all that already. I'm just trying to relay this information to you.
Lilia
Well, it's unacceptable.
Host Jeff
Well, you need to accept it because it's happening.
Lilia
I will not accept it.
Host Jeff
You know what? I'm gonna let you think about it for five seconds and then check back in with you.
Lilia
It does not matter how long I think about. It is unacceptable.
Host Jeff
3, 2, 1. Have you accepted it now?
Lilia
No, I have not accepted it because. Is there a manager I can talk to?
Host Jeff
I'm the last employee who works here. So what? You know what I'm going to do for you? If you come in today, I'll knock a dollar off of your cover charge.
Lilia
I already told you, I will not be paying to come into the library.
Host Jeff
It's only going to be $6. Do you accept it? Give me five seconds. Five.
Harper
Edie.
Lilia
I do not accept it.
Host Jeff
Three.
Lilia
Oh, my God. What is wrong with you?
Host Jeff
All right, I'm knocking it back up to $7. I'm sorry. The deal has gone away.
Lilia
I don't even know what to say.
Host Jeff
Also, I don't really know if this matters at this point, but in an effort to connect with the younger generations here, we're going to be rebranding and no longer call this the library.
Lilia
That's the dumbest idea I've ever heard in my life.
Host Jeff
We're going to be calling it Dee's Books.
Harper
This has to be a joke.
Host Jeff
That's books with a Z.
Lilia
There is no way that you or the city or anyone in this world could come up with an idea this asinine.
Host Jeff
Well, you're right. It wasn't me or the city. But your partner Steve might be asinine to come up with it.
Lilia
Oh, my God.
Host Jeff
Yeah, your partner Steve emailed our show, Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning and he said he want us to do a prank phone call. On you.
Harper
Oh, okay.
Host Jeff
Steve said that you love the library so much and you really hate change, so he wanted us to mess with you, and we thought, okay, well, maybe we can combine both.
Lilia
Both? Oh, yeah. You had me going. That had to be the dumbest idea I ever heard. Charging people a cover with a library.
Host Jeff
These books.
Lilia
I don't even know what's happening right now.
Host Jeff
Me either, honestly. I'll see you at the library, all right?
Lilia
I hope so.
Host Jeff
Probably in the self help section. Okay.
Brooke
Wake up every morning with phone tabs. Weekday mornings on the 20s. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning on.
Host Jeff
A first date at a nice restaurant. What could go wrong with the meal?
Jeffrey
Not a lot. You probably got a chef cooking for you.
Host Jeff
I mean, like, you eat it way too fast, and now you're just staring at them for the next 50 minutes doing nothing.
Brooke
Yeah, it's like every dinner date with my husband, that man shovels the food.
Host Jeff
Or maybe your card gets declined and your mommy has to come and pay for you. Although kind of a good flex that your mom loves you enough to do that. So there are plenty of options, and we've actually heard a lot of them on this show. But one of our listeners says he made a different restaurant faux pas and it happened early while he was still holding the menu.
Brooke
Yike.
Jeffrey
Oh, no.
Host Jeff
We're gonna find out if it derailed his chances in your second date update. Right after this second date update, the results are in. In it's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning because recent studies have shown about 50% of couples now meet online compared to just 22% only five years ago.
Brooke
That's crazy. That's a huge jump. It's like the pandemic, like, super.
Jeffrey
Yeah, it made it really normal, really quick.
Host Jeff
Yeah. So now, going forward, Brooke, if you want to spice up the relationship with your husband, you're going to have to make him a dating profile.
Jeffrey
Oh, okay. At least you get to pick Is.
Brooke
You know, I think I could make him a really good one. I mean, to be honest.
Host Jeff
Well, I think joke's on you. He already has one.
Brooke
Wait, what?
Host Jeff
Apparently, you guys are. You're looking for a third right now, according to him. And we're not going to go into that because. Wait a minute. I want to talk right now.
Jeffrey
I'm excited for that day.
Host Jeff
To Jordy, the listener who wrote into our show because apparently he met a girl out in real life bucking all of the latest trends.
Brooke
Dude, you're in the minority now.
Host Jeff
Irl, Jordy, good work. Welcome to the show.
Jordy
Hey, guys.
Brooke
Hey, so where'd you meet this woman?
Jordy
So I met Harper at this German bar. Actually, you know, I was playing bocce ball. Do you guys know what that is?
Brooke
Bocce ball.
Alexis
I've heard of it.
Jeffrey
On my rooftop, on my apartment complex.
Host Jeff
Like, you toss big. These, like, big, colorful balls onto, like, a field, and then you try to toss other balls towards the ball.
Jeffrey
One goes farther and quick.
Brooke
It's an Italian game playing at a German bar, but whatever.
Host Jeff
Yeah, yeah. Okay. So you said her name was Harper?
Jordy
Yeah, yeah, she was actually a waitress there.
Brooke
Oh.
Lilia
Oh.
Host Jeff
I assumed that she was gonna be, like, playing in the stall next to you or something like that, right?
Jordy
No, no, no, no, no. She was super cute. And, I mean, she was super helpful, too, because I actually had to have this, like, long talk with her to tell her to cut off one of my drunk friends.
Alexis
You cut off your friend?
Brooke
Lame.
Jeffrey
You had to do it, like, nicely. Like, tell them I told you.
Brooke
I'm sure that's happened to you, and you just don't.
Host Jeff
Yeah, totally.
Jeffrey
If you have good friends, friends, if.
Host Jeff
Anything, probably makes you look kind of good to her because you seem like a responsible guy. Oh, yeah, exactly.
Jordy
It's like watching Jerry Springer. It's like you look better than those people.
Brooke
Oh, can I ask real quick? Was there an indication that she was interested in you? Because cute waitresses get hit on all.
Jeffrey
The time, and they smile and they do their job, and everyone thinks they're getting hit.
Host Jeff
I know. Brooke tries to get them to be the third in her relationship.
Brooke
I mean, Harper is a hotel name.
Host Jeff
But again, sorry, that is a conversation for another day. Tell us, how did you work Harper? That's not the right way. How did you get Harper to agree to a date? There it is.
Jordy
Well, I just simply asked her on the way out. I was like, look, are you single? And she said, who's asking? And I said, I am.
Brooke
Good response.
Jordy
Yeah. And I just said, I'd love to take you out sometime. And she actually gave me her number.
Brooke
Oh, dude, if we dive. Listen, it's our loser line.
Jeffrey
Oh, we are on the loser line.
Lilia
Awesome.
Host Jeff
Is that your only meetup, or did you guys actually have a date?
Jordy
No, no, we had a date.
Host Jeff
Oh, okay.
Lilia
Okay.
Host Jeff
So it is her number.
Jeffrey
Because we all thought, oh, she probably just gave you your number to get.
Host Jeff
Rid of it, right?
Brooke
So what did you do?
Jordy
We went out for drinks, little food. You know, she looked amazing. I mean, when she was, like, out of her waiter outfit.
Alexis
Didn't need to mention the second part.
Host Jeff
She Knows.
Lilia
Yeah.
Jordy
I mean, I did have one embarrassing moment on the date. We tried to order some quiche Lorraine and I said quickie loran. You know I didn't take French in high school. Like, excuse me.
Jeffrey
Yeah, well, you're also clashing with the bocce ball and the German don't want.
Brooke
To be elitist by being able to say quiche.
Host Jeff
That's a tough word. What was her reaction?
Jordy
She totally laughed it off. It was a little embarrassing. But after that, like, I think it kind of of lighten the mood a little bit. And from there, like, the day was great.
Brooke
Especially if you can be self deprecating about it.
Lilia
Yeah.
Jeffrey
You know what I mean?
Brooke
Like, it could almost even turn into like your inside joke together.
Jeffrey
Yeah. Oh, let me remember the next thing I speak German and then you just ruin it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jordy
So we actually, like kissed at the end of the day, so that was nice. And she was the one who texted me that night saying that she got home safe and that she couldn't wait to see me. So, like, it seems super clear. Right?
Brooke
Are you sure you didn't read that wrong too?
Lilia
There's no way to read.
Jordy
No, no, it was in English, I think.
Host Jeff
Okay, so you. You've. You've had a solid first date. You kissed her at the end of it, she's the one saying, I can't wait to hang out again.
Brooke
And how long has it been?
Jordy
It's been like 10 days or so.
Jeffrey
Well, something must have happened in her life. Like, I already have a feeling. This is not your fault.
Brooke
Oh, I can see that. Like, we're. I don't know, maybe work got crazy or there's a family emergency emergency, or.
Jeffrey
She rekindled something and was just like, oh, who knows?
Host Jeff
But what's happened in those 10 days? That's a long time. Have you asked her? Like, what have you done?
Lilia
Yeah.
Jordy
Yeah. I mean, there was one time where I thought one date was gonna work, but then she asked about a different date, so I. I don't know.
Alexis
Okay, so yeah, hot bocce ball player came into her work.
Jordy
Might be.
Host Jeff
Okay, well, we can reach out to Harper for you and see if she agrees to going out with you one more time. If not, then you might have a backup option because Brooke and her husband, you know.
Brooke
But in the meantime, Jeffrey is not online.
Host Jeff
Oh, that's right.
Brooke
Yeah, we only like the online one.
Host Jeff
Yeah, you need to be able to keep some distance.
Brooke
Yeah.
Host Jeff
Sorry. But you know what? We'll work on Harper first and try and get you Your second date update. Right after this second date update. We're in the middle of a second date update with our listener, Jordy and Jordyn. Jordy likes cute waitresses at German bocce ball bars. He likes to mispronounce quiche Lorraine just to seem vulnerable and flawed.
Brooke
How did he say it? Kiki, somehow.
Host Jeff
Yeah, you said quickie. What did you say, Jordy?
Jordy
I said quickie. Loran.
Host Jeff
Quickie. Loran. And he really likes to receive texts saying, I can't wait to see you again, because that's exactly what his date Harper said to him after they went out. So why is she not jumping at the chance to hang out again?
Brooke
Yeah, she's the one that said she wanted to.
Host Jeff
Jordy, you think there's another guy who mispronounces French words even worse than you do? Maybe that's her thing.
Jordy
Yeah, maybe.
Lilia
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Yeah, he tried to order me a quabernet. Savin gone.
Host Jeff
Oh, go.
Brooke
Oh, yeah.
Host Jeff
That's hot. Yeah.
Brooke
I don't even know how you mispronounce du jour.
Jeffrey
Yeah, how do you you so much? You can't mispronounce it?
Jordy
I mean, look, Harper's a really cute waitress. She probably has a lot of guys asking her out.
Brooke
Oh, my God. I bet she's saying no 50 times.
Jeffrey
A day like every other table.
Brooke
It's so annoying. But that's why you're so special, is that she said yes to you and you guys had a great day and.
Jeffrey
She went out and she said she.
Jordy
Yeah, but, like, look, guys, if that's it, if that's the thing where she has another guy, like, just convince her that I'm a good guy.
Host Jeff
Oh, okay.
Alexis
Hopefully she thinks that already.
Jeffrey
You know what?
Brooke
In the five minutes we've spent with you, you totally will vouch for you.
Host Jeff
Thank you.
Brooke
You're welcome.
Jeffrey
Like a good guy. I mean, honestly, not even kidding.
Host Jeff
Yeah, a lot of good guys insist how good they are.
Brooke
Yeah, that's right.
Jeffrey
Okay, maybe that is a little.
Host Jeff
So we're just gonna trust you on that. And we're gonna call Harper. Let's see if she answers. Okay. All right. I don't know you. I mean, you seem nice from a little bit. We'd be spoken.
Jeffrey
Okay, you just stay where you're at, though, buddy.
Host Jeff
We don't know you.
Brooke
Yeah, let's get her on the phone.
Digital Jake
Here we go.
Harper
Hello?
Host Jeff
Hey, is this Harper?
Harper
Yeah. Who's calling?
Host Jeff
We're a radio show calling called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Lilia
Hi.
Host Jeff
Good morning.
Lilia
Hi.
Harper
Harper.
Host Jeff
That half of the Room isn't very excited to talk to you, obviously, but.
Alexis
I don't think she's excited to talk to us.
Host Jeff
This half of the room is very confused.
Brooke
Just don't want to come in too hot.
Harper
Jeff, what are you calling for?
Brooke
See?
Host Jeff
Yeah, we're working. Yeah, this is. This is something we do called a second date update, and one of our listeners named Jordy asked us to reach out to you.
Brooke
Ringing any bells?
Jeffrey
I said.
Harper
What do you. What do you want me to say?
Host Jeff
You remember Jordy? Okay, we're just trying to help him out because according to Jordy, he says he's been putting in a lot of effort trying to figure out a good time that would work for you to meet up just because he felt like you guys bonded, connected.
Brooke
Is it just something where the schedules aren't aligning?
Harper
No, there was just like a lot of effort.
Lilia
That's kind of a problem.
Brooke
What?
Jeffrey
Too much effort?
Brooke
What do you mean?
Host Jeff
Yeah. Can you elaborate?
Harper
I mean, like, on the surface, when I met him, like, I was working and then we went and hung out and like, he was a good guy and. Well, that's kind of like what I was looking for.
Brooke
Yeah, like he's what you were looking for.
Harper
I mean, yeah, like, I thought so.
Brooke
Okay, so what changed?
Harper
So we hung out and it. It wasn't until after that I realized something was off.
Brooke
What?
Harper
Like, I had every intention to go out again.
Host Jeff
Okay, okay, what's the problem?
Jeffrey
Is it something about him?
Lilia
Yeah.
Harper
He gave me three options to hang out all in a row. Like Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Like, why is he so available?
Host Jeff
Wait, what do you.
Jeffrey
Hold on. Did he want a three day date or he was just like, pick a day and we can do that one?
Harper
No, he was like, these are all the days that I'm available. And I have this belief, me and my friends do that there's a guy between the age 24 and 32 ish. If they have that much time to hang out, it really means that he's a loser.
Brooke
Yikes.
Host Jeff
You're calling him a loser because he gave you multiple options of times where. Or he wants to hang out because he likes you.
Harper
Yeah, because like, they're all in a row and it's like, okay, he should be grinding away, planning for his future, maybe not working or like working on a promotion or getting somewhere.
Brooke
Maybe he is like, in my mind, you're a waitress. So he's probably just trying to give you options because it's probably hard to align schedules. Like, he probably figures you work on the weekends.
Harper
I Mean, that sounds like an excuse he'd use.
Host Jeff
I guess it sounds like he's doing it for you. Because nowadays we hear from a lot of women who tell us guys don't put in enough effort. They want the easy thing. They don't really care. Yeah, Jordy sounds like the total opposite. Like he's willing to do whatever just.
Alexis
To see you plans the other days that you say you can't.
Harper
Yeah, but he didn't say that. He was like, I'm wide open. And I'm like, well, what else are you doing with your life? Just pursuing me.
Host Jeff
Okay, What?
Jeffrey
Okay, sadly, this makes sense, but doesn't mean we agree with it.
Brooke
I don't know that it does make sense to me. He's not a loser. Like, you liked him. You liked everything about him. You said that he checked all your boxes. Basically, yeah.
Harper
I mean, he did. He actually had decent hygiene, which.
Host Jeff
See? Okay, but he's too available for you.
Brooke
Maybe that's why his hygiene. So good. He has got time for it.
Alexis
I mean, you don't want to date someone who wants to hang out every single day. Sometimes, like, they need to have a life.
Host Jeff
Well, sure. Oh, yeah.
Harper
And especially in the beginning, getting to know who they are. And it just seems like he's just wide open to do whatever. And I'm like, but we're trying to build who we are as people.
Brooke
What would you want his response to be when you say, hey, I can't wait to see you again? What should he have written back to you?
Harper
He shouldn't have. He should have just let me hang for a bit.
Host Jeff
Okay, now that was a red flag.
Brooke
Okay, well, it's kind of like a game.
Host Jeff
I don't. I don't even want to tell you that this. Because. Oh, no, it's not that. He's, like, super available to talk to you at any time. That's not what this is.
Brooke
He was so busy. It's like we had to call him so many times just in the middle.
Host Jeff
Of his extremely hectic day. He's taken a little bit of time to jump on the phone right now to talk to you because Jordy's there.
Jordy
Hey, Harper.
Harper
Oh, so you've been on the phone.
Host Jeff
Just a little bit.
Harper
Yeah, just a little bit.
Host Jeff
Like, barely.
Jordy
I heard you call me a loser who I has too much time on his hands.
Harper
Well, yeah. They asked me to be honest. And I was honest. They asked me what was up.
Brooke
I mean, that's what Jordy wanted. He wanted to know he did want.
Jordy
So you think I'm a loser because I want to go out a second time. Like that part doesn't make any sense.
Harper
It's just. It's just a little red flaggy to be able to hang out three nights in a row. And like, my perfect guy would never do that. He shouldn't have all the time in the world for me, you know?
Brooke
I'm sorry, my perfect guy shouldn't have all the time in the world for me.
Jordy
To be totally clear, I didn't want to hang out with you three nights in a row. I gave you three options.
Harper
Okay, you're just being a little way too chill at this time of your life. You know, now's the time to work hard and we're gonna chill later.
Brooke
Yeah, well, girl, you're serving steins in a German bar. Like, I mean, I'm just saying, like.
Alexis
Let'S not hate on the probably makes more than I do here.
Jeffrey
Yeah, let's be real.
Brooke
Well, it's just like, what are you doing to do the same thing?
Harper
Well, you don't even know me, so how about you shut your mouth?
Jeffrey
Yeah, Brooke, shut your mouth.
Host Jeff
Who are you complaining about people bringing you alcohol out of anybody in this room?
Brooke
I think being a server is a great job, but she's like expecting him to like do all these big great things like jobs. What are you doing to plan for your future, Brooke?
Host Jeff
Stay in your lane and keep not tipping people after they give you great service.
Brooke
Yes.
Jeffrey
Shut up. Don't talk on the radio, lady.
Brooke
I just like, I hate, hate when people do that.
Host Jeff
This is about Jordy. Jordy. She's concerned that you're too free and you're too available. Prove to her that that's not true and how much you got going on.
Brooke
Tell her you don't want to date.
Jordy
Yeah, I mean, it sounds like that would be more attractive to you. I mean, I. I just don't understand why you want to play these games like we met in real life. I thought you were a good person.
Jeffrey
Okay, that's actually a point.
Host Jeff
How busy are you right now?
Jordy
I mean, I. I'm kind of busy. I'm not totally busy.
Jeffrey
I mean, I gotta be busier. You're super busy.
Lilia
Right, Right.
Host Jeff
Slam.
Jordy
Okay, like, look, I'm looking to get busier.
Host Jeff
I'm looking to fill my schedule.
Lilia
Right?
Harper
See? Red flaggy much?
Brooke
I think he sounds like a nice guy.
Host Jeff
That's not what she wants. She doesn't want that, Brooke.
Brooke
But you did want it that night.
Jordy
Look, look, Harper, let's rewind. Pretend I didn't call you for two weeks? Are you turned on now?
Harper
It hasn't been two weeks. It's only been 10 days.
Host Jeff
We're imagining, Harper.
Harper
I mean, the reality is you sent me a lot of freaking texts with like a lot of freaking dates and now you have me on a radio show.
Jeffrey
Yeah, it does look bad.
Brooke
Gives her the ick, huh?
Jeffrey
It's pretty bad.
Host Jeff
You know what the thing is? We made him do it.
Jeffrey
Yeah, we got all the time in the world.
Host Jeff
He didn't even want to be here.
Brooke
He didn't have time to.
Host Jeff
No. But he was kind enough to take a little bit of time out to do this with us. Just so that I could ask you if you would like to see Jordyn one more time and we would pay for that date. I don't even know if he's free. Honestly, Jordy, are you even free?
Brooke
Interested?
Jordy
Not anymore. I'm. I'm all booked up for a while now.
Alexis
Finally he got it.
Host Jeff
I'm sorry.
Jeffrey
Minute she's like, so I'll see you next weekend?
Harper
I mean, I'm not really into these games that he's playing with me and I'm not going to fall.
Jordy
Look in the mirror, sweetie.
Host Jeff
Oh God.
Jeffrey
That was talking like Brooke.
Host Jeff
Now this is not good. Okay, you know what? No second date, all right?
Jeffrey
We are not tipping them either.
Host Jeff
This is going bad. Look at Jeffrey in the morning. Got a text into 78592 that says, with that outlook, I hope she's ready to die alone.
Brooke
Oh my God. I mean, honestly, I think she just doesn't actually want a boyfriend. Yeah, you know, like everybody's saying that she's like looking. She says she's looking for something, but she found out it cuz like what?
Jeffrey
She just wants to be wanted.
Host Jeff
And the outlook that I think they're referring to is the theory that if a guy says he's available to hang out with you multiple nights in a row, that means he's a loser and must have absolutely nothing going on in his life.
Jeffrey
Can I correct that? Cuz when girls try to hang out with me and I tell them I'm sorry. I got two jobs, I'm streaming video games every single night. It also deters that. Don't act like a busy guy. Cannot deter women.
Jordy
I.
Host Jeff
It also matters what you're busy doing.
Brooke
I got my DND club on Friday and Saturday night, so I can't hang.
Jeffrey
Out, but I make tons of money.
Host Jeff
Hello?
Lilia
Hello? Hello?
Host Jeff
You know, guys just give up. It's going to be easier if you just quit because Actually, they're going to feel more attracted to you that you've given up on them.
Jeffrey
Really hard to get.
Brooke
Not define all women based on her. I mean, just too late.
Host Jeff
She speaks for all women.
Jeffrey
And now we.
Alexis
Just got canceled on by two guys.
Lilia
Alexis.
Host Jeff
Who saw that coming. But you know what? If you need help with your dating life, go ahead, email the show. We'll call that person who isn't calling you back. And go check out all of our podcasts. We are the home of the second date. Update wherever you get yours at. Brooke and Jeffrey.
Brooke
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Host Jeff
Oh, this is your final reminder. Take your last hot selfies of the year now before your body is ruined by cramming your face with pounds upon pounds of delicious holiday foods.
Lilia
Yay.
Host Jeff
Because, yes, eating season is coming down the pike.
Brooke
Oh, yeah.
Host Jeff
And we're going to celebrate that by undoing the top button on all of our pants and playing a game guaranteed to clog your arteries and stop your hearts in the good way.
Brooke
I can't believe we're not just taking our pants off.
Host Jeff
Trying to have a little bit of decency.
Jeffrey
Still remember their lame.
Host Jeff
We're going to do it in a brand new edition of Riffing Around. Yes, a special eating season version of the game that tests your musical knowledge and asks, are you smarter than a radio dj? Probably. But now you can actually prove it when we play Riffing around coming up right after this. Do you smell that? Either Brook's got another bun in the Dutch oven, or it's time for a fresh baked edition of Riffing Around. Riffing around, where I play the instrumental of a famous song and my co hosts apparently take off their clothes.
Jeffrey
First me started stripping. This is gonna get dirty.
Host Jeff
And then they show their complete lack of musical knowledge by trying to guess the tune. And because Thanksgiving is right around the corner, all of today's songs have foods in the title.
Brooke
Oh, my God.
Host Jeff
They're not all necessarily Thanksgiving foods. But they are foods. I can assure you. Assure you.
Jeffrey
Okay, okay.
Host Jeff
And Jose obviously has the advantage as the resident foodie of the show, but, Brooke, this could be right up your alley.
Brooke
I'm a resident eater. I don't know that I consider myself.
Host Jeff
A foodie, but we're gonna start with a girl who uses a cooked turkey as her reference for the ideal spray tan. Alexis, name this food themed song. Need the title. The correct title.
Alexis
Why am I blinking at it?
Lilia
No.
Brooke
What is it called? I know. I can't think.
Jeffrey
Oh, my God.
Host Jeff
Talk to me, baby. I need a guess. Can't go through all the lyrics here. 3.
Brooke
Oh, I know it.
Host Jeff
2. 1. All right, we're going to Jose if he can steal.
Lilia
Oh.
Jeffrey
Oh, man.
Brooke
Come on, give it to me.
Host Jeff
Need a guess?
Jeffrey
I don't have one.
Lilia
Brooke.
Host Jeff
Cake by the Ocean. Cake by the Ocean by DM mc I knew it.
Brooke
I was good.
Jeffrey
I couldn't think of the lyrics. I'm diabetic, so I'm not allowed to know that song.
Host Jeff
We're on to you. Your reputation as a mother is on the line if you fail to correctly identify this food themed song. It's a classic.
Brooke
High in the sky.
Lilia
Oh. Oh.
Host Jeff
She got one of the words in the title.
Brooke
Pie in the sky.
Host Jeff
What is it, Alexis? Steal it.
Alexis
It's the beginning of the song. You can't play just the beginning.
Host Jeff
All right, we're subtracting a point from Brooke for arguing about Jose. Can you steal it?
Jeffrey
I'm gonna go with taters.
Harper
Wrong.
Jeffrey
Mashed potatoes.
Host Jeff
The correct answer was American pie by Don McLean.
Jeffrey
You claim to like to be Benny.
Brooke
Inspired by Miss American. You can't subtract tracked a point because you made a poor musical choice.
Host Jeff
Down to negative two. Brook is trying to set an all new record low on the show for some reason.
Jeffrey
You and I may win just because she got go.
Host Jeff
All right, we're on to Jose. All those nights watching food videos on the toilet will have paid off if.
Jeffrey
You can guess like tacos or Chinese dumplings.
Host Jeff
Let's see if you can get this song changing up the vibe a little bit with this.
Brooke
I know. Oh, hey, this isn't family Thanksgiving, is it?
Host Jeff
I think I know it.
Jeffrey
Oh. Oh, Peaches.
Host Jeff
I knew Jose was gonna get Peaches by Justin Bieber.
Jeffrey
That's one of Jose's favorites down in Georgia. I love this song.
Host Jeff
No. We're on to the second round here. The score is Alexis zero. Jose's in the lead with one. Brooke taking up the rear with negative two. How dang it.
Brooke
I was up one. Jeffrey. Oh, my God.
Host Jeff
Attitude does not fly on Riffing around back to Alexis. Alexis, please name this food theme song.
Alexis
Watermelon sugar.
Brooke
Yeah.
Host Jeff
Harry Styles.
Alexis
Baby kiss me Harry Styles.
Jeffrey
I have it written down already. I knew it was coming.
Brooke
I can name that song in two notes.
Host Jeff
Oh, really? I thought it only has to be.
Jeffrey
The hook of the song.
Host Jeff
Brock, what are the rules? Chance to rethink, redeem yourself. I will double your points here. If you can correctly guess this food themed song.
Alexis
It's about to complain again.
Host Jeff
Very popular song all over the world.
Brooke
I love food, food, food that's not it.
Host Jeff
Surprisingly.
Brooke
I'm gonna go with turkey legs.
Host Jeff
No, Alexis. Steal it from her.
Alexis
I don't know the meat, the word.
Brooke
Bites of dust.
Lilia
No, it's not.
Brooke
That sounds like.
Jeffrey
Got it.
Lilia
Another one.
Alexis
Really?
Jeffrey
Got it.
Alexis
A fruit.
Jeffrey
Wrong.
Host Jeff
Jose, take it.
Jeffrey
What is butter?
Host Jeff
Butter by bts, of course. Jose jumps into soul control. Control the lead with two.
Digital Jake
Correct.
Host Jeff
And again, I'm going to give you double points, cuz this one's tough. If you can correctly guess this song. Oh, my God.
Jeffrey
Dance too much. Booty in the pants. Dance too much.
Alexis
Is that the real song?
Jeffrey
What's it called? What's it called? Peanut Butter Jelly.
Host Jeff
Peanut Butter Jelly.
Jeffrey
Peanut Butter Jelly. The baseball bat.
Host Jeff
It's peanut butter jelly time, by the way. Boy. Wow, Jose.
Brooke
I haven't heard that in so long.
Alexis
Impressive.
Host Jeff
You're four correct. Alexis says one. Brook. Still negative two there. Let's go. Third and final round. And this one, we're going to mix it up a little bit. Not looking for the song with food, but the artist who's associated with food. I need the artist that's associated.
Alexis
Their name has food in it.
Host Jeff
I'll say it for the third time. Artist is associated with food.
Jeffrey
Wait, wait.
Lilia
Got it.
Host Jeff
Here we go. Alexis, name the artist that sings this famous song.
Brooke
Oh, oh.
Alexis
Black Eyed Peas.
Host Jeff
Black Eyed Peas.
Jeffrey
Wow, that was fun.
Alexis
Say my guesses are easy one more time.
Brooke
I just sighed. That's all I did. I just sighed.
Host Jeff
Brooke, insert disparaging comment here. Name this song. No, don't name the song. Name the artist who sings this song.
Brooke
The Cranberries.
Jeffrey
She already preguessed it.
Host Jeff
It was too easy for her. She gets one correct. Bringing her spirit.
Brooke
Gave me triple points on that one.
Host Jeff
And back down to negative two.
Jeffrey
You had it in your grass, then.
Host Jeff
You questioned it and you lost it.
Jeffrey
All right, technically, if you double negative two, it's like minus four. Yeah.
Host Jeff
I mean, minus two is actually generous. Jose, to take it home. Name the artist who sings this song.
Brooke
Oh, Young Gravy.
Jeffrey
Jose does it.
Host Jeff
10 points for Jose. And the winner of Ripping Around Thanksgiving edition is. Jose Belano.
Lilia
Yeah. All right.
Jeffrey
I want to ride around in the gravy boat. We're all doing it.
Host Jeff
I'm Jeff.
Jeffrey
Row, run.
Host Jeff
Row your throat. Dubois. Your phone tap is coming up right after this.
Brooke
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Host Jeff
Today. We've got Lilia on the phone, who is playing you from the Big island this morning.
Brooke
That must be nice.
Jeffrey
I believe it's Lili.
Lilia
Yeah. Then yeah.
Host Jeff
Well, yeah. And we're not great with Names over here. Because I told Alexis that out in the hallway and she said, oh, the Big island of Virginia.
Brooke
Names or geography? Jeff. Or we don't even know the word.
Host Jeff
We're not good with anything, okay?
Jeffrey
She's like, oh, Staten Island.
Brooke
So, dude, what are you doing on the Big island right now?
Harper
I work over here.
Host Jeff
You? Oh, God.
Brooke
Wait, what are you gonna eat today? That's what I want to know.
Host Jeff
There's so much to choose from.
Harper
You know, the poke.
Brooke
Oh, come on. I'm getting too excited. I've gotta leave.
Host Jeff
It's a good strategy. You're, like, throwing Brooke off with this food talk, and she's already beat you once. Brooke? She's 10 against you all time.
Brooke
Then I gotta go. I don't know.
Host Jeff
She doesn't have anything. Lilia, you know how the game works. You got 30 seconds to answer as many questions as possible. If you don't know when, you could say pass. But you do have to beat Brooke outright to win. Are you ready? Yes, I am. Good luck. Your time starts now. Travis Barker celebrates a birthday today. He's the drummer of what famous band? Oh, my God.
Harper
Pass.
Host Jeff
Manometer is used to measure what? Distance, pressure or length.
Harper
Length.
Host Jeff
In basketball, what is the penalty called when someone uses both hands to bounce the ball?
Jordy
Double dribble.
Host Jeff
Name the famous French sculpture of a naked man sitting down with his hand on his chin. The Federal Railroad Administration says, how many times does a train need to blow its whistle before it can move forward?
Harper
4.
Host Jeff
That's a good question. 4 train whistles. I didn't even know this was a thing. It's awesome. So Brooke is coming back in the studio and I see in my phone screener here, Lilia, that for Thanksgiving, you're going down to Mexico to visit family. Oh, my God.
Harper
Yes.
Jordy
I'm going to Guadalajara.
Host Jeff
Oh, my God. Just tropical place. The tropical place.
Brooke
Amazing food, right?
Host Jeff
Eat on Thanksgiving in Mexico.
Brooke
I don't know that they're celebrating chicken.
Jeffrey
Yeah, Brook, they celebrate our thanks, okay?
Host Jeff
The whole world does exactly what we do.
Jeffrey
America, bro.
Host Jeff
And if they don't, we'll make them do it.
Brooke
Everyone surrounds around us. I forgot.
Host Jeff
Tourist.
Jeffrey
Have any Thanksgiving specials around here?
Brooke
I love how humble and thankful we are.
Lilia
I know.
Jeffrey
Have fun. Great.
Host Jeff
I hate us. Okay, Buck, you ready? Your time starts now. Travis Barker celebrates a birthday today. He's the drummer of what famous band?
Lilia
22.
Host Jeff
A manometer is used to measure what? Distance, pressure or length Pressure. In basketball, what is the penalty called when someone uses both hands to bounce the ball?

Host Jeff
Name the famous French sculpture of a naked man sitting down with his hand on his chin.
Brooke
The Thinker.
Host Jeff
The Federal Railroad Administration says, how many times does a train need to blow its whistle before it can move forward?
Brooke
Three times.
Host Jeff
Ooh, she went with the triple blow.
Brooke
Oh, it could be four. Here comes the train.
Host Jeff
Find out in a second. First, let's go to the scoreboard with Jose.
Jeffrey
Take your pants off. I don't even know your name. Leia. You got one correct today.
Harper
Oh, man, it was a tough one.
Brooke
Yeah.
Harper
Yeah, it was.
Jeffrey
Brooke, you got three.
Harper
Nice.
Brooke
Brook couldn't get me this time.
Host Jeff
All tied up. One and one all time. Let's go over the answers real quick, though. Travis Barker Salad celebrates a birthday. He is the Drummer of Blink 182.
Brooke
I miss you.
Host Jeff
A manometer or a manometer?
Brooke
Manometer probably is right.
Host Jeff
I don't know. Manometer is used to measure pressure in a confined space, like in a boiler.
Jeffrey
And if it was a manometer, it would measure length for sure.
Host Jeff
And basketball. The penalty when somebody uses both hands to bounce the ball is called the double dribble. You were so close. The famous French sculpture of a naked man sitting down with his hand on his chin is called the Jeffrey, AKA the Thinker.
Brooke
She just laughing. She just thinks you guys are on fire.
Host Jeff
Sweet lady.
Jeffrey
She likes us.
Host Jeff
And the Federal Railroad Administration says before a train can move forward, it's got to blow its whistle two times.
Brooke
Two times. My grandmother always told me it was them going, here comes the train. I think it's real. I'm telling you, my grandma wind flies. We spent a lot of time on trains with her.
Host Jeff
Yeah, we know. It's a very depressing life. Okay, so, Lilia, unfortunately, we couldn't get the victory there. But just for being on with us, you do get some free Brooke and Jeffrey swag.
Harper
Thank you, guys. Love you guys.
Host Jeff
We'll be back to win Brooks Buck. Same time tomorrow?
