new full hour on a Wednesday for you. Thank you so much for being here with the full show podcast. I know a lot of people are coming over from our second date feed and finding more of us because they love punishment, which is great. We do have a brand new second date today. Laser Stories was really fun and some other good stuff. But first comments.
Alexis
I mean, guys, this might be my last show ever with you because the King of Portugal commented.
Brooke
Oh, wow.
Alexis
It said, alexis, come be the Queen of Portugal.
Brooke
What?
Alexis
I guess I'm gonna be royalty, everybody.
Brooke
It was good knowing you.
Alexis
Yeah, nice knowing you guys.
Brooke
I hope you like sardines. They eat a lot of them over there.
Alexis
I can grow to like them if I'm okay.
Brooke
If you're the queen, yeah.
Jose
I'm just impressed you didn't have to date this person. No, it's just an offer.
Alexis
I did not know that's how their system works there. Yeah, fantastic.
Brooke
Well, bow down to the Queen and let's get this full hour started right now.
Jeffrey
Brooke, when was the last time you went to Target?
Brooke
It's actually been over a year.
Alexis
Shut up. Brooke doesn't do Target that long.
Brooke
Yeah, I boycotted them last January of 2025 and I haven't been back since.
Alexis
I've heard her talking about this.
Jose
It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Jeffrey
Well, when you did go there, what would you normally buy? Like what types of things besides sexy knockoff ugg negligee?
Brooke
You know, it was a real crapshoot because I always Walked away with stuff I didn't know I needed and I probably didn't actually need, but it was cute.
Jose
But that's the tell of a good store. Yeah, they can sell you stuff you weren't planning on buying.
Jeffrey
Well, what if I told you there's a rumor going around on social media right now that Target is planning to stop selling toys?
Host/Announcer
Oh, what?
Jose
Really?
Brooke
That's interesting because my kids loved the toy section there and there's not many toy sections left.
Jeffrey
Yeah, well, this isn't official, but they did just announce a strategic plan for a new chapter of growth. AKA we got to get rid of all the money losers in our store.
Jose
Oh, no. The toys lose money.
Jeffrey
Just ask Toys R Us. How does toys sell in person? They're not around anymore. And one of Target's biggest losers apparently is toy sales.
Jose
So Amazon probably. And it's 90% of the toys.
Brooke
It's a lot of aisles. You know, the toys are a lot of aisles.
Jeffrey
They're always full too.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Which is a bad sign. So let's say they do go away. No more toys at Target. Again, that's just a rumor. But people are losing their minds about it on social media. But let's say they do go in that direction. What could come in its place?
Brooke
Well, I mean, all kids care about now is skin creams.
Jeffrey
That's one idea. More beauty products.
Brooke
You are seven years old. You do not need an anti aging serum.
Jeffrey
But couldn't hurt more baby stuff too. You can always overcharge parents on the newest stroller model, especially when it's their first kid. Yes.
Alexis
Yeah.
Jeffrey
And groceries. Those aren't getting cheaper anytime soon. Keep selling those. But it seems like Target could be moving away from being an everything store and will be narrowing down their inventory. Again, not confirmed. But the rumors are everywhere.
Brooke
Dude, hot Target news. All right, Jeff, we just told.
Alexis
Yeah.
Jeffrey
If anything, we just pray they don't stop selling dog shot collars for our shot collar question of the day. We are the number one consumer in America of dog shot collars and we do it to entertain the masses. Jake, let's go.
Host/Announcer
What do Vanessa Williams, Adam Levine and Queen Latifah all have in common?
Jeffrey
Target shoppers.
Host/Announcer
Not only that, and not only is today their birthday, but they all have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Meanwhile, former two time president Grover Cleveland also has a birthday but was shafted never being recognized for being the true star he was.
Jeffrey
Come on, Hollywood.
Host/Announcer
After the show, please sign my petition to get Grove Dog his star.
Jose
Yay. Let's go.
Host/Announcer
But what other famous celebrities haven't had their name immortalized on the streets of downtown Hollywood? You'll have to tell me during a special Walk of Fame or Walk of Shame edition of plenty of 20. This is how it works. You'll say a number one through 20. In return, I'll give you a famous celebrity. You just have to tell me if they have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame or if they don't and are on the Walk of Shame.
Brooke
Ew.
Jose
Wow.
Host/Announcer
We'll start with the woman who. Who definitely put Grover Cleveland in her top 10 list of dead hotties. She'd go back and smash.
Alexis
How'd you find my list?
Jeffrey
That's Alexis.
Brian
Four.
Host/Announcer
Great choice. Michael B. Jordan, star of Sinners, Creed, Black Panther, the Wire. He was a little kid in the Sopranos once. He's a box office powerhouse and a Hollywood heartthrob. Does he have a Hollywood Walk of Fame star, yes or no?
Alexis
I feel like the promise people always get the stars, like, long after it's overdue. And he just got nominated and won his first Oscar ever.
Jeffrey
It does seem a little early in his career, though, for him to already be getting flowers and stars.
Brooke
Yeah, but isn't the whole point of the Walk of Fame just to get tourists to come out?
Alexis
He should do, like, an ab print on his star just while he's there.
Brooke
Alexis just laying on the sidewalk, but
Alexis
I'm going to say he's a Walk of Shame, sadly.
Host/Announcer
I'm sorry, Alexis. Michael B. Jordan does have a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I also hear it costs 50,000 doll. Thousand dollars. Your own star. You have to pay for it.
Jose
My God.
Brooke
And you have to get so many signatures in order to even petition to be on it.
Jose
I mean, that's tough.
Host/Announcer
Speaking of $50,000, Brooke, can I have 50? No, I'm sorry, you're up. Four is the number that we've taken so far.
Brooke
Let's go 5.
Host/Announcer
Starred in Elf and New Girl. Known for quirky bangs and her adorable singing style. She's just so adorkable. It's Zooey Deschanel. Is she on there or no?
Brooke
Well, she's married to one of the property brothers now, too.
Host/Announcer
Interesting. Not both.
Brooke
I don't know. They're so cheesy.
Jeffrey
That deserves a star for sure.
Brooke
I think Zoe's actually too quirky, so I think she's on the Walk of Shame.
Jeffrey
Oh, wow.
Host/Announcer
Brooke hating on Zooey D. Chanel correctly? She has not been nominated for a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Jose
I Wonder why.
Host/Announcer
Nice work, Brooke. It's probably because her sister was Bones from Bones. We know how that turned out.
Jose
We don't.
Host/Announcer
Please, don't worry about it. 4 and 5 are off the board. Jose, how about a number from you?
Alexis
10.
Host/Announcer
Number 10.
Jose
Someone's laughing in their car right now. I promise,
Host/Announcer
all 206 fans of Bones know what I'm talking about. Jose, does Liam Hemsworth, action star from the Hunger Games, have a Hollywood Walk of Fame star?
Jose
Wasn't he the one engaged to Miley?
Jeffrey
Yeah.
Brian
Married.
Jose
I'm not a big, like, Hemsworth fan. I guess. I don't know what else he's really in.
Alexis
They should put all the hot guys together so you can go and just visit that area.
Jose
It's a hot block.
Alexis
Yeah.
Brooke
Yeah, it's the hot block.
Alexis
Yeah.
Jose
It feels like cobblestone because it's all their abs. I like that. He's not Thor, is he?
Brooke
No, that's crazy.
Jose
I don't know.
Jeffrey
One thing.
Jose
He's in, I'm gonna say no way. Walk of shame.
Host/Announcer
Walk of shame.
Brooke
Yeah.
Host/Announcer
Liam Hemsworth does not have a star on the hall of Fame. Chris does.
Brooke
I bet that's some heated rivalry.
Jose
Superhero.
Host/Announcer
Wait, Jeffrey.
Brooke
Brother on brother stuff.
Jeffrey
Thanks.
Brooke
That's not what I meant. It wasn't a reference to the great show. It was just an old saying.
Host/Announcer
Brooke, I'd like to talk about your fantasies about that later, after the show. But we have to get to Jeffrey. We're talking about people who possibly could have stars in the Hollywood Walk of fame.
Jeffrey
I'll go 14.
Host/Announcer
Does John Krasinski, star of the Office and director of A Quiet Place, have a Hollywood Walk of Fame star?
Jose
Quiet Place had a sequel, too.
Brooke
Dude, how can you not be the star of the Office and have, like, just that alone?
Jeffrey
He's not the star of the Office,
Brooke
but he's like, one of the stars of the Office.
Jeffrey
Yeah, but then his character kind of, like, dips towards the end where he's a total jerk.
Jose
Yeah, but nobody watched at the end. Once Michael left, we all stopped watching.
Brooke
He was annoying. I'm not a lion at the end. I also managed.
Jeffrey
And a bad husband and a terrible father.
Jose
He didn't steal her throat. It was pretty bad.
Jeffrey
Generally malicious, yes, but because he was such. Such a bad husband and such a non present dad.
Jose
Oh, no.
Jeffrey
I think it qualifies him to be a star in Hollywood. You're saying Walk of Fame. So give me Walk of Fame.
Host/Announcer
I'll give it to you. I won't give you the ding, though. John. Krasinski does not have a star. That means Alexis and Jeffrey have lost today's edition of plenty of 20.
Jeffrey
All right, so I guess Alexis and I are going to take a joint shock together while sing singing shallow by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper from A star is born.
Jose
You do the Lady Gaga angle and you do Bradley Cooper.
Jeffrey
We just have the chorus here, so.
Jose
Okay, I'm up the deep end. It's not harmonizing.
Jeffrey
I'll never meet the ground Inspired song
Host/Announcer
choice from the text board.
Brooke
Bradley and Gaga in studio.
Jeffrey
That was your shot collar Question of the day. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. A lot of people make dream boards to manifest the things that they want in their ideal life. Yeah, they'll cut out pictures of things they desire, pace them up, and just stare at them for hours hoping they magically come true.
Brooke
Why isn't Michael B. Jordan in this room with us? Alexis, tell me.
Jose
It's true.
Jeffrey
Alexis has over 40 different photos of Michael B. Jordan up in her cubicle right now because she hopes because of that one day fate will bring them together and she'll end up rear ending his limo in a school zone.
Jose
No, I think there's a restraining order that's really preventing me.
Alexis
I'll keep staring until it happens.
Jeffrey
We know what Alexis has been thinking about, but what about the rest of my co hosts? We're gonna have to find out during a brand new what's on your mind Coming up right now. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. You ever wonder how nudists clean the smudges on their glasses?
Jose
What the heck?
Jeffrey
Oh, wait, I don't think I want to know what they wipe them with. Just like, I really don't think I want to know what my co hosts have been thinking about lately. But here we are. Oh, another more sweaty for another what's on your mind? Where we go around the room wiping our weird thoughts onto each other's brains, starting with Brooke. Brooke, what's on your mind?
Brooke
Well, my kids are pretty social. They have a lot of play dates. And so right now I'm trying to set the scene that when they get older. Older, we become the house that everybody wants to hang out at. Right.
Jose
You know?
Brooke
Yeah, totally. Because you could, like, get to know friends and you just kind of have a better pulse on what's going on in their lives.
Jeffrey
Brooke wants to be the cool mom. Yeah, she wants to be the cool mom.
Brooke
The thing is, in order to be the house that everybody hangs at.
Alexis
Yeah.
Brooke
You have to start with the snacks.
Jeffrey
That is true.
Brooke
That is the foundation of everything.
Jose
The kids are like, they have the best snacks every time we go.
Brooke
Well, I've been trying to vet what other houses are giving and what's happening.
Alexis
Like, what are healthy snacks?
Brooke
What's our landscape?
Jeffrey
Everything that you bring to the workplace is, like, super organic, homemade stuff.
Brooke
So listen, right now, what we're offering, what's on the table, is my husband has introduced the poor man's elephant ear to the mix.
Jeffrey
Okay.
Jose
I love elephant ears.
Jeffrey
Elephant ears are poor to begin with.
Jose
That is a good poor point.
Brooke
It's a flour tortilla cooked in a skillet with some butter, and then you put sugar and cinnamon on it. Yeah. So that's been a hit.
Jeffrey
All right.
Danielle Fishel
Okay.
Alexis
Yum.
Brooke
But it's not first place.
Jeffrey
Oh.
Brooke
Because there is another house right now that is offering apparently the best strawberry banana smoothie that anyone's ever tasted.
Jose
That sounds better.
Brooke
I need to take that house down, you guys.
Alexis
Yeah, you do.
Brooke
So I need new ideas. What is the best kids after school snack that a house can give? Okay.
Jose
You should just buy a Jamba juice and, like, have it run out of your. Out of yours.
Brooke
Not a bad idea. Text 78592. I need this information, but we bribe the kids.
Jeffrey
My parents did the best croquettes with caviar and just like, a little bit of creme fresh. It was so bomb.
Olivia
Yeah.
Jose
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Handmade. Easy. Jose, what's been on your mind?
Jose
Well, I had a flight recently, and as I board her, this tiny lady with this huge bag is my seat partner.
Brooke
Okay.
Jose
And the second she sees me, she makes eye contact. Her eyes light up and she's like, Jose, oh my gosh, I love you. I love your show. And I'm like, hi. I give her a big hug, and she's saying all these nice things to me.
Jeffrey
Yeah.
Jose
Her husband comes up behind her to help her put her bag up in the overhead. Oh, did you guys want to switch? You can sit next to him. And she's like, no, I love. I'd much rather sit next to you.
Jeffrey
Dang fun.
Jose
And she's like, I need a break from him anyway. So in my head, I'm like, okay. She's a big fan. We're gonna have a photo shoot. I'm gonna do funny videos for her kids.
Brooke
Oh, absolutely.
Jose
We're gonna talk about our favorite second date, you know, And I'm ready for this. I'm gonna give her the full fan experience. You're lucky enough to sit next to me on a three hour flight.
Alexis
Shoot.
Jose
We're doing this.
Brooke
Let's go.
Jose
Okay, okay. She's excited. I'm excited. The second we take off, she puts a blanket over her head and falls asleep for three hours.
Alexis
Sweet. Why have I never thought of that?
Jose
I was like, blanket?
Alexis
Yeah.
Jose
With that, she pulled it out of her purse. And then I'm like, where's our meet and greet?
Jeffrey
You know, you're disappointed.
Jose
I was like, what is my favorite second date? What can I.
Brooke
Did you take a selfie of just you?
Jose
I was kind of bummed. So we landed. She shook my hand. Very formally said, by the way, my name is so and so.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jose
And I really love the show. Thank you so much. Forever. You know, I was just like, okay, lady.
Brooke
Okay.
Alexis
Well, not her first time meeting someone she likes.
Jose
No picture, not anything.
Brooke
So a little disappointing.
Jose
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Sit with her husband next time.
Alexis
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Alexis, what's been on your mind?
Alexis
So we love like a bar dating hack on our show, you know, like. Or just for a free drink, you know, you're like, I've never tried tequila. And then they're like, I'll buy you some. You know, that type of stuff.
Jose
That's actually a good hack. That would work on me.
Alexis
I saw one on TikTok recently and me and my friends wanted to try out at the bars. And it's like, I go up to a guy from my friend, you know, so say she's into him. I go up and I'm like, hey, my friend's into you. You know, over there across the bar. And then when they're like, which one? You're like, the one with the glasses. And you point. And then your friend is there making like circles with their hands and holding them all to their eyes as if it's like binoculars.
Jeffrey
Oh, cute.
Brian
I like it.
Alexis
And so they look like this and worked like a charm. Oh, my God, it was so funny. So into it. We did it all night. 100% success rate.
Jeffrey
Really?
Alexis
And half the people knew it from TikTok, but they still liked it.
Jose
It's so funny because you're doing it in real life and it shows that
Brooke
you can be silly.
Jeffrey
Yeah.
Brooke
Don't take yourself silly.
Alexis
And it's not making you, like, give them the ick. It's not that bad.
Jose
It's not bad.
Alexis
It's a little funny. But yeah, we went around doing it. Worked on everybody. No guys did it to us. I don't know if it's a one way hack.
Jose
I've seen people do it on their own where they're like, my friend likes you, and they point to an empty wall. And then you run over there and
Alexis
you're like, no, that's too much. Don't do that one. Don't do that one glasses trick if you need it at the bars, people.
Brooke
All right. It is Alexis.
Jose
Guaranteed.
Brooke
I love it. All right, Jeffrey, what's on your mind?
Jeffrey
I don't know what it is, but there's been so much construction going on where we live right now. It's all over the place, all over the roads. And the other day, I'm waiting in a line of cars, trying to get on the freeway. Some lady cuts me off, like, right before I'm about to turn. And in that moment, I realized something. After owning my car for, like, nine years.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeffrey
I never realized it has the most feminine sounding horn ever.
Brooke
Is that a thing?
Jeffrey
I didn't realize, but I think it is because I tried. I tried to pound my fist into the steering wheel.
Brian
Yeah.
Jeffrey
And it was like. It was almost like a moped on its, like, last battery.
Jose
It's like, excuse me, you're on a
Brooke
bike and you might as well have a bell.
Jose
Yeah.
Jeffrey
I was like, no one's gonna take me seriously with this. But I thought, well, okay, maybe.
Jose
Hold on.
Jeffrey
Maybe I just, like, hit it part way. I didn't get it right, so I really held it down. It was like. And I look over and other drivers are laughing at it.
Jose
They're mocking my car horn.
Brooke
How do you buy a car without testing the horn? It's like one of the first things I do. I'm not kidding. Like, I want to know what it sounds like, and if it's not good, then I. Sometimes we'll get the ick from a car.
Jose
I don't think I touched my car home for, like, six months.
Jeffrey
Yeah, I try actively not to use it. It was so embarrassing, though. I googled how to get a more masculine horn.
Brooke
Yeah, you can have one installed, but
Jeffrey
that brought up a whole bunch of search stuff that had nothing to do with cars.
Brooke
So there's some supplements, I think I'm
Jeffrey
kind of stuck with it for now.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeffrey
And I'm not going to be intimidating any trucks or SUVs anytime soon, but if you're ahead of me with a tricycle in my way, look out.
Brooke
Okay.
Jeffrey
You will feel my wrath, but that's what's been on our minds. You can text into 78592 and tell us what's been on yours. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Tech Sport is lighting up at 78592 with listeners telling us what's been on their minds? It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. This text says, hey, guys, thanks for consistently brightening up my mornings and making me laugh. But signed, loyal fan for 10 years.
Brooke
Oh, that's so cool.
Jose
You don't want to tell us your name?
Jeffrey
Exactly how loyal are you?
Jose
Anonymously.
Brooke
I mean, they wanted to save some embarrassment.
Jeffrey
Okay, clearly you don't want anybody knowing that you like the show, at least not publicly. But we appreciate your secret love. Yeah, that's right. Another text says, why does Jeffrey look and sound so beautiful and perfect? I just feel the need to give him all of my affection and my money. Yeah. So I'm gonna say no to the affection, but yes to the money.
Brooke
Really?
Jose
You know what can do that?
Jeffrey
Yeah, go ahead and mail that in. And another one says, so I've started from the beginning of your podcast on iHeartradio. Since I've been all caught up on the other episodes. Just ran across ho Zeopardy for the first time. Please bring this back. It's cracking me up. I don't remember that. What is Jose?
Jose
I vaguely remember. I think you guys did jeopardy.
Jeffrey
With me at one point way back
Brooke
in the day, but I don't think they were serious questions. Yeah, remembering right.
Jeffrey
My therapist has taught me to compartmentalize all the trauma that we suffer on this show. So I'm like, actively blocking out most
Alexis
Jose Ebody or whatever. Hit that.
Jeffrey
Yeah, whatever that is, it's triggering me. We need to move on. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Why do they always put warning labels on things that don't need them? Like, warning jar of peanut butter may contain nuts.
Jose
Yeah, it's peanuts.
Jeffrey
Yeah, you think?
Brooke
I'm glad they told me.
Jose
Maybe I should just say, doesn't contain
Jeffrey
butter or wax candle, please do not eat.
Alexis
Well,
Brooke
have you tried one, though?
Jeffrey
Maybe that one is necessary. What really should come with warning labels, though, are online dating profiles. Right under the bio. It should say, warning may contain extreme emotional baggage.
Jose
Yeah, yeah, that'd be mine.
Jeffrey
Warning. Still legally married, but mentally separated.
Jose
Oh, my gosh.
Jeffrey
Because nobody ever warns you until it's too late and suddenly you're six stories deep into their childhood traumas and they're still not sharing the mozzarella sticks with you.
Brooke
Oh, that's the real crime.
Jeffrey
Well, we've got two people on the phone who had zero warning about the disaster dates that they were walking into. Which one had it worse? We're gonna have to decide. Cause it's a brand new battle of the tinder dates coming up right after this. Growing up, I used to love movies like Bug's Life and Ants because they just made it seem like bugs were your tiny little friends with good who go out on fun adventures and they fall in love. But then you grow up and you get your own home and spider season happens and suddenly your house feels less like a cute Pixar film and more like a creepy crawly horror flick where they're invading your happy place.

Alexis
One dating app that dares you to swipe right.
Jeffrey
The question is, whose love life is more tragic?
Brooke
It's Battle of the Tinder Dates.
Jeffrey
It is the dating game show that got banned from Macy's after getting to second base with both of their lingerie mannequins.
Jose
What the heck?
Jeffrey
They started it.
Brooke
Oh, my God.
Jeffrey
It's Battle of the Tinder Dates where two of our listeners go head to head to figure out whose love life is the most tragic. Yeah, we'll go over the rules in just a second. But first, let's meet today's contestants. In this corner, on all his dates, the ladies say he looks at them like Jack Nicholson in the Shining or Joker from the Batman movies.
Brooke
Yikes.
Jeffrey
That's why they call him creepy Smiles Miles. Hey, guys, what's up?
Brooke
Oh, my God, you're smiling right now. I can tell.
Jeffrey
I am into it. And in the other corner, he loves handwriting romantic poems for his dates. But he's a foot guy, so it's always about toes. And he's named every one of them before he's even met you. Please welcome Italics Alex.
Brooke
It's easy to rhyme with toes and foot, though. They're good words to go with.
Jeffrey
Oh, yeah, very romantic. Here's how the game works. One contestant will start by telling one of their worse date stories than the other, trying to counter with a nightmare story of their own. We're gonna go back and forth for three rounds until we declare a winner. Let's start it off with creepy Smiles. Miles, let's go.
Miles
Okay, so this lady and I were out on our first date and walking between bars for happy hour, and we walked by a place that the girl scouts had a little stand, and I'm like, oh, my God, I'm all about some Samoas, right? So, yeah, I go over, I buy some, and the girl that I'M with. She just gets completely upset. She's giving me the cold shoulder, and I'm like, what's wrong? Were you mad? You not like, girl Scout cookies? Like, what's going on? And she admits that. She's like, well, I didn't like the way that you flirted with the mom that was helping out at the stand.
Brian
And then she said, this is the
Miles
first date, mind you. And she's like, I should be the only woman that you smile at.
Jose
Oh, that is a big red flag.
Brooke
Yeah, just be grumpy to everybody else.
Alexis
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Give me those cookies.
Jose
Go to Wendy's. I don't like the way you're looking at the logo.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Yikes. That's a rough one. Alex, can you counter?
Miles
So I met up with a girl from Tinder, and I immediately knew something was off.
Brian
Really?
Miles
She was so sick.
Jeffrey
She was.
Miles
She was coughing, her nose was stuffy. She had a raspy voice.
Brooke
Rescheduled.
Jose
Yeah.
Miles
So I asked her. I asked her if she wanted to cancel the date. She says no, and that she actually prefers to be sick.
Brian
Huh. Why?
Jose
I don't.
Miles
I was so confused. She went on to say her voice sounds sexier that way. And she's doing this on purpose. She hasn't taken any medicine. She refuses to wear a coat outside.
Brooke
It's a good test to you.
Brian
How.
Jose
How do you take care of a sick person?
Brooke
Yeah, and you don't want to make out with somebody who can't breathe through their nose.
Jose
She doesn't have to kiss you.
Jeffrey
That'd be a super moist kiss. Count me in. All right, we're on to round round two. Miles, tossing it back to you.
Miles
Okay, so I was at this dinner with the girls, and the waiter comes up. He asked, like, were we celebrating anything? And so she just jumps in and she's like, oh, actually, yeah. I just got out of a super toxic relationship this morning with my stepbrother.
Jose
Whoa.
Brian
Oh.
Jose
What?
Brooke
Wait, I think we just did a second date with her not long ago.
Jeffrey
Is that the girl?
Jose
No.
Jeffrey
Oh, my God. She was dating her stepbrother.
Brooke
Whoa.
Miles
Yeah, that's what she said. And then she's like. She's like, hey, let's toast the new beginnings.
Brooke
And no family relations.
Jose
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Do they bring out a cake for that? I don't know.
Alexis
Brooke's got her glass up right now.
Jose
All right, Brooke does have a glass right now.
Jeffrey
Italics. Alex, time to step it up.
Brian
Ooh.
Miles
Miles has a bad. But I was on a date. It was her idea to go to an aquarium. And in front of one of the tanks, she started making out with me, which was kind of hot. But also, there were a lot of kids around.
Jeffrey
They need to learn how to do it eventually, so that's fine.
Jose
Not as sexy as it sounded at first.
Miles
But, guys, it gets worse because one of the divers in the tanks starts hitting the glass.
Jeffrey
Oh.
Miles
And she says, don't worry, that's just my ex. He hates it when I do this.
Jeffrey
She's done it multiple times.
Brian
Yeah.
Brooke
Hate it is plural.
Alexis
Yeah.
Jose
Oh, she's crying, hugging the octopus.
Jeffrey
All right, we're on to the third and final round, so we need your best stories here, gentlemen. Miles, what have you got?
Miles
Okay. On one of the dinner dates with this girl, when it ended, she was going to get an Uber ride. So, you know, I'm like, hey, I'll just give you a ride. Give me your address. And when we kind of pull in, it's like a gated community. It is super nice house. Really awesome neighborhood.
Brooke
Okay.
Jeffrey
Oh.
Miles
Kind of commented on it, Right? And.
Brian
And.
Miles
And she. I swear she looks at me and she's like, oh, no, this is just a guy I'm talking to.
Jose
What the heck?
Jeffrey
Your date had you uber her to her next date?
Miles
Well, that's a lesson that I should probably ask where you're actually going.
Brooke
Yeah, I mean, but did she tip you?
Miles
Oh, she should have.
Jeffrey
Still five star service in our mind, but wow. Italics, Alex, this is your last chance.
Miles
We were out and got into talking about past relationships.
Brooke
Oh, Always a good start.
Jeffrey
Yeah, that's great.
Miles
She asked if I ever cheated on anyone, and I said no, and her whole personality changed.
Jeffrey
What?
Miles
She seemed actually disappointed.
Jeffrey
Oh, really?
Brooke
So she's looking for something toxic?
Miles
Yeah, she's like, oh, yeah, yeah, she said that.
Brian
She.
Miles
She tells me that she's only looking for a man. Man who has been unfaithful, because that's what makes, quote, relationships exciting.
Jose
Are they cheating right now?
Brooke
She must have learned that from a therapist.
Jeffrey
She puts it that way. It makes so much sense. All right, that was the final bell. That means the match is over and we need to score it. Let's go to the judges. Alexis, who you giving it to?
Brooke
I gotta go.
Jose
Miles.
Alexis
For cheersing to the stepbrother relationship that ended.
Jose
We got one for Miles.
Jeffrey
Brooke.
Brooke
Yeah, dude, it's hard to beat the stepbrother relationship. I'm going Miles as well.
Jeffrey
That means congratulations. Creepy smiles. Miles, you are our sad suitor of the week. How does it feel?
Miles
I don't think it's ever been so happy to be Sad.
Brooke
What you mean is it's never been worse.
Jeffrey
We're happy to have you here, man. Text in to 78592 if you want to appear on the next edition of Battle of the Tinder. Dates, we got your phone tab coming up right after this. Bot week keeps rolling along here on Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. All prank calls where we get an assist from an out of control AI helper. And today we call a guy who's scheduled to have a phone interview for a new job. And he's a little bit old school. Okay, Because I don't think he's ever been interviewed by a robot before. So we'll see how he does in your special bot.
Host/Announcer
Tap.
Jeffrey
Right now, Brooke and Jeffrey's phone taps on the 20s.
Brian
Hello?
Jeffrey
Hi, Russell.
Brian
Who's calling?
Jeffrey
Hi, I'm calling from Point Solutions. You have a job interview scheduled with us?
Brian
Oh, yeah, but yeah, it was supposed to be like an hour from now though.
Jeffrey
Oh, well, that's not what we have down. Our schedule says it's happening right now.
Brian
Oh, I was told like one o'. Clock.
Jeffrey
Okay, hold on, let me see. Let me just take a note on that. Not prepared for interview. Not scheduled.
Brian
Oh, hey, listen, I'm sorry, but the person I scheduled the interview with said it was at 1:00'. Clock.
Jeffrey
Oh, okay. Yeah, that's good to know. Just let me make a quick note of that. Will not accept accountability easily.
Brian
Well, hang on. It's not that I'm not accountable, it's just I was told a different thing.
Jeffrey
No, you're good.
Brian
Good.
Jeffrey
You're good. I got it. Thank you for clarifying. Let me just make that final note here. Enjoys gaslighting.
Jose
Whoa.
Host/Announcer
No personal shortcomings.
Brian
Wait, hey, I don't have any.
Jeffrey
Listen, Russell, it doesn't even really matter. I'm not the one that's doing the interview. So these notes are all unofficial?
Brian
Well, if they're unofficial, why are you like writing them down?
Jeffrey
Well, they will be forwarded to Steve for the interview.
Brian
Well, hang on, I don't even know who Steve is. I wasn't told the name.
Jeffrey
It's not a he. He's not a person. But they will be interview you. He's our new AI recruitment bot.
Brian
What? What? An AI?
Jeffrey
Yeah, STEVE stands for Systematic Talent Evaluation and Vetting Engine.
Brian
Wait a minute. So I'm being interviewed by a robot?
Jeffrey
Yes. Let me just make a quick note of that. Sounds distrustful of robots.
Brian
No, it's just you gave me the wrong time. You didn't give me a person's name.
Jeffrey
Yeah, I heard that. So let me just patch you through to Steve so we can just get this whole thing over with quickly.
Brian
What?
Steve (AI Bot)
Hello, I'm Steve. Is this Russell?
Brian
Yes.
Steve (AI Bot)
I've heard a lot about you, Russell. Some good, some bad. Let's say we get to know each other.
Brian
I don't know why it should be bad. That makes no sense.
Steve (AI Bot)
We can begin with a hypothetical scenario. Does that work for you?
Brian
Sure.
Steve (AI Bot)
Let's say I am an attractive female and we are out on a date.
Brian
Okay.
Steve (AI Bot)
And at the end of the night, I ask you, would you like to come over and we can do stuff? What would you say?
Brian
Well, if it's a workplace.
Steve (AI Bot)
Please answer the question. And remember, you are attracted to me.
Brian
Well, I don't know about attracted to you, but yeah.
Steve (AI Bot)
Please answer the question.
Brian
Well, maybe. Yeah, maybe I would go in, I guess.
Steve (AI Bot)
Okay, great. So we go back to your place, you pour each of us a glass of wine and I spill it all over my dress. What's your move?
Brian
I don't know. Kind of wipe off.
Steve (AI Bot)
Please answer the question.
Brian
Maybe I get a towel and try to wipe it off.
Steve (AI Bot)
Or while you are getting a towel for me, I pick up your small dog and leave the apartment with it.
Brian
You leave with my dog.
Steve (AI Bot)
He looked cute.
Brian
Why would you take my dog? This is part of the interview.
Jeffrey
Hold on.
Brian
Anything?
Steve (AI Bot)
Writing down notes. Applicant behavior confirmed. Blames others easily blame you taking my dog.
Brian
Why would you do that?
Steve (AI Bot)
Hold on. Writing down more notes. Applicant was not prepared for simple hypotheticals in interview.
Brian
Hypothetical? You're talking about a date and wine and dresses and dogs. I mean, this makes no sense.
Steve (AI Bot)
Interview complete. Thank you for meeting with me. I am Steve. Transfer of call initiated.
Brian
Wait a minute. This interview can't be over. I didn't do anything wrong.
Jeffrey
Hey, Russell, I'm back.
Brian
Is this supposed to be a job interview?
Jeffrey
Just got a note from Steve here saying that it did not go very well.
Brian
Yeah, of course it didn't go well. He gave me a hypothetical situation where he asked me out on a date where he steals my dog. How am I supposed to deal with that question?
Jeffrey
And I think what you're really supposed to be asking is how did you fall for this prank call?
Steve (AI Bot)
I don't think he got the joke. Or the job.
Brian
Wait, wait, what?
Jeffrey
Yeah, don't listen to Steve. He's just a recording. Your sister Samantha set you up for this whole thing with the radio show. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Brian
Are you freaking kidding me?
Jeffrey
Samantha told us that you had a job interview today and she told us to call and mess with you.
Brian
Oh man, you totally got me. I didn't know what I was doing.
Jeffrey
Well, the good news is your real interviews in an hour from now and I think you're actually prepared.
Steve (AI Bot)
Please answer the question and remember, you are attracted to me.
Jose
You know what?
Brian
At this point, if a robot asks me out on a date, I'm ready to. I'm going.
Jeffrey
Oh good, you're gonna nail it.
Jose
Brooke and Jeffrey's phone taps on the 20s.
Jeffrey
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. There's a lot of pressure when you're on a date and they ask so what do you do for fun? Now you're in a dilemma.
Brooke
Just a simple question Jeff.
Jeffrey
Sure, but do you lie and say you're into hiking and scuba and self tattoo art?
Brooke
What?
Jeffrey
Or should you be honest and let them know about your real passions for 17th century Samurai swords and your collection of celebrity hair clippings?
Jose
Oh my gosh.
Jeffrey
What's the better way to go?
Jose
Have a better interest One of our
Jeffrey
listeners says he regrets being honest about his favorite hobby.
Brooke
Oh no.
Jeffrey
He knows it could probably be a red flag for some women. And while it's too late to take it back, we're hoping we could at least smooth it over in your brand new second date update.

the Morning second date update whenever people
Jeffrey
email us saying they matched with Someone online? Yeah, we usually assume it's on one of the big dating apps. Tinder, Hinge, Bumble, Grumbler. All the usual ones. But one of our listeners says he found a lady on an app that I've personally never heard of before, but the name of it intrigues me alone.
Brooke
Oh, I love a good. Is it a pun? Tell me it's a pun.
Jeffrey
Let's find out more about it. We'll speak to Brian. Brian, welcome to the show, man.
Brian
Oh, thanks for having me.
Brooke
I feel like this is just gonna be one huge ad for a niche dating app that nobody knows about.
Jeffrey
Yeah. Tell us about this particular app that you use. What's it called?
Brian
Well, the app that I'm on, it's called Bristly, Bristler.
Jeffrey
Bristler?
Brian
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Is it, like, with a bris. Like a circumcision sort of thing?
Brian
Well, no, I think that one might be different, but more like bristle, as in, like, beards. So it's for women that like beards
Jose
a lot better than beardos.
Brooke
Yeah. Or beardles.
Brian
I. I don't work for them, but I. I like it so far.
Brooke
So what kind of facial hair are you sporting? Because I would assume you have to have some sort of requirement of beard or mustache to get on this app.
Brian
Yeah, you have to prove that you have a beard at least.
Jose
Okay, so a goatee or, like, a mustache wouldn't fly on this site.
Brian
I mean, I've seen it, but I mean, I guess. Well, I guess I haven't, because, you know, I'm only looking at the. The women do not have beards.
Jeffrey
No, it's okay. It's okay. You could say you're perusing the guy's apps too, just for ideas.
Brooke
I just disagree that the women's don't have facial hair.
Jeffrey
I know. Brooke would be so popular on this app. She'd get so many swipes on her.
Brooke
Let it fly, girls. Let it fly.
Jeffrey
Okay, so I think we get the idea. What's the name of the woman that you matched with?
Brian
I matched with Olivia.
Brooke
Okay.
Jeffrey
Okay.
Brooke
Did she hit you up first?
Brian
I reached out the beginning of the week and then had made plans for the weekend.
Brooke
Nice.
Jeffrey
All right, so where does a manly, masculine, bearded guy like yourself take a woman for a first date?
Brian
I like to go to Dave and Buster's
Brooke
little arcade.
Miles
Little alcohol.
Brian
Oh, amazing sliders. Those are my favorite.
Brooke
So what was it like when you first met her?
Brian
We were just polite at first, and we gave a gentle hug.
Jeffrey
Oh, okay. So once you were done being polite, Then what happened?
Brooke
Then they gave an aggressive.
Jeffrey
Huh?
Jose
Get over here.
Jeffrey
Then I put my hand in a fist and things got real.
Brian
Oh. We just sat at the bar, got some food. Then the conversation started flowing pretty naturally. Naturally.
Jose
Oh, good.
Jeffrey
Nice.
Brian
Yeah.
Alexis
You get nervous. There's a lot of pressure on how your beard looks for this. Like, since that's your thing, you know?
Brian
Yeah.
Jose
You groom it, you wax it.
Brian
Oh, of course. I have all. All the oils and the trimmers. Good.
Brooke
Okay.
Brian
Made it look real nice.
Jeffrey
That's good.
Jose
Okay.
Jeffrey
And when you two were talking, what did you, like, connect over? How'd you bond?
Brian
Well, we both bonded over just being down for kind of anything. I mean, and also how nice she was. She complimented me on, like, the way I looked, the beard, obviously, and then thought she was adventurous. Not a lot of girls would want to go to Dave and Buster, but she was down for it.
Jose
Did anything happen while you were playing games? Did you help her hold the gun or.
Brooke
Oh, I was thinking he got too competitive or something. Like, I'm trying to figure out what went wrong here.
Brian
Yeah, yeah. No, I cheered her on for the games. We were working as a team because we were trying to get enough tickets to get a stuffed animal.
Jose
Oh, that's.
Brian
We were there a long time.
Jeffrey
Okay. But now I'm with Brooke. How did you mess up?
Brooke
Yeah.
Alexis
What'd you do wrong?
Brian
Okay, so there is something. Okay, I know it's more of a second and third date kind of thing you drop on someone, but I told her I'm a Disney adult.
Brooke
Oh, yeah.
Brian
You guys know what that is?
Brooke
Yeah, we're like, adult who's obsessed with Disney. Maybe goes to Disneyland a lot for
Jeffrey
every vacation, names their children after Disney characters, that sort of thing. You.
Jose
Quiet down, dopey.
Alexis
I'm shocked you went on an app for that.
Brooke
That's a good point, Alexis.
Jose
There should be a Disney dating app.
Jeffrey
Why do you think bringing that up may have been a weird point?
Brian
You do have to tell someone. Not everyone's really into it. And she kind of was asking me about it, and I think she was kind of, like, trying to get me to say, like, what that means for me. Like, what level is she working with here? I guess.
Jeffrey
Yeah. Like, are you a fan? Or do you have Donald Duck bed sheets?
Brian
Right. And so I told her, it's like. Well, it means, like, with a group of friends, I go, like, five, six times a year.
Jeffrey
Year five or six. Okay.
Jose
There's some adults that go every week.
Brooke
I'm going to be honest with you. I Could see why, like looking down the road, that would be hard in a relationship if you weren't both on the same boat there.
Jeffrey
Yeah. Did you gauge her love of Disney?
Brian
Yeah, I mean, I asked her. I was like, well, you know, I really love Disney. Do you love Disney? And she said, I like it. I do really like it.
Jeffrey
I think most people, after the Disney conversation, you felt the vibe change a little.
Brian
I don't know if she was just being nice again about it or she just played it off really well, but she was like, no, I like it, you know? And yeah, I mean, it wasn't as intense before, but it wasn't like a full on drop off. She was just like, oh, yeah, that is new information, I guess. But yeah, she's not getting back to me. I've tried to call on her, but,
Brooke
you know, I mean, like, you understand that in a relationship if you date someone who's not a Disney adult, there'll be some compromise, right? You're a reasonable guy.
Brian
Yeah, I mean, I'd like to think so.
Jeffrey
Brooke's gonna be your fairy godmother when we come back.
Jose
Oh, you're really good, Mickey Mouse. Impress.
Jeffrey
And we're going to do Cinderella style and ask to see her feet when we come back and do a second date update, we're going to see if that slipper fits Disney style right after this. Hold on.
Brian
It's a little weird, but thank you.
Jeffrey
All right, we're on it. Hold on.
Brooke
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Alexis
Second date update.
Jeffrey
It's a special fairy tale edition of second date Update today where our listener Brian, who's a self proclaimer acclaimed Disney adult, is looking to find his happily ever after. And how does that happen? Well, in Cinderella, the prince brings a glass slipper from house to house. How do we do it? On our show, we request feet picks to see if they match what we like. Brian, I'm not getting too creepy here, am I?
Brian
I think so.
Brooke
Thank you, Brian.
Jeffrey
Oh, man.
Jose
Yeah, we don't even have a slipper.
Brooke
I mean, Jeff wasn't even gonna tell you that it was you. Your feet pics that he was hoping for.
Jeffrey
Yeah.
Brian
Oh, well, I mean, yeah, if you think that's gonna help. You're the expert.
Jeffrey
Yeah, yeah, we'll request those from you later. But the thing is, we still don't really know if Olivia actually got turned off by Brian's admission that he's a Disney adult and he goes to Disneyland five or six times a year. But my co hosts think that could be at least one Red flag.
Brooke
Well, it's just like two different lifestyles, right? It's like hard to imagine going there five or six times.
Jose
Yeah. Disney adults, instead of going somewhere else, they just go back and back. Yeah, some people like going to the beach.
Brian
Yeah, they have that too.
Jose
Walt Disney World has mess beaches. That's right.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jeffrey
Oh, that could be a good second date. Going to like a beach version of Disneyland. See her in a bikini.
Jose
Disney hopping.
Jeffrey
We'll ask for bikini shots after the feet. That's what.
Brooke
Don't ask for pictures. He did not say that.
Jose
Jeff is very creative.
Brooke
No, Jeff is the villain.
Jeffrey
Fully clothed at the beach then. Fine.
Brooke
You're really giving off Gaston right now.
Jeffrey
Oh, the hottest one. Thank you, Brooke. Anyway, let's just call Olivia. We'll see if she answers the phone and we'll see if she has to say, here we go.
Olivia
Hello.
Jeffrey
Hi, we're looking to speak with Olivia. Olivia.
Olivia
This is her.
Jeffrey
Hey, Olivia. You're on a radio show right now. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Jose
Hi, good morning.
Olivia
I'm actually confused.
Jeffrey
Yeah, yeah, that's okay. Because we're doing a segment here, it's called a Second Date Update and we're trying to help out one of our listeners that you met up with recently. A guy named Brian.
Olivia
Oh.
Jeffrey
Because he's not hearing back from you after the two of you. Hungry. Hung out at Dave and Buster's.
Jose
Yeah.
Brooke
And it sounds like it was fun.
Olivia
Yeah. I'm sorry, how do you. How did you get this information?
Jeffrey
Well, from him, because honestly, he's a little bit disappointed that the two of you hadn't had a second meetup.
Olivia
Okay, so what do you want and what do you want to know exactly?
Brooke
If there's a specific reason.
Jeffrey
Yeah, like are you trying to avoid a second hangout?
Olivia
Yeah, I mean, I just, I. I don't really know if we were a great match.
Jeffrey
Okay. What made you feel that way?
Olivia
I think that maybe our lifestyles are different.
Jose
What do you mean by that?
Olivia
Just like our hobbies and our interests are a little different. He's into things that I.
Jeffrey
We'll just ask. Does it have anything to do with his affection for the world of Disney?
Brooke
Are you laughing?
Olivia
Yes.
Brooke
Okay, okay. I mean, okay, once he told you he was a Disney adult and he explains that he vacations there five to six times a year. Like what was going through your head?
Olivia
Yeah, I mean, okay, I've never met anyone who like, loves Disney like that, but I will say that I'm actually pretty open minded and so when he first brought it up, you know, I thought like, oh, this is just like a quirky kind of passion. But then. And he kind of got like a little more into it and.
Jeffrey
Into it.
Olivia
How so? He showed me a picture on his phone of one of the trips he went on, and it was with him and like a bunch of his buddies, like a bunch of dudes, and they were all dressed up like Snow White dwarfs.
Brooke
Oh, that's kind of funny. I've seen that where a lot of Disney adults will cosplay, like when they go on the trips.
Jeffrey
What about him being dressed as a dwarf was unappealing to you?
Olivia
Well, I think I realized, like, looking at that photo. So we met on this app. I have a thing for beards. I thought he was attractive, you know, initially. But then I saw this photo and all of the guys there have beards except one. It was dopey, of course.
Jeffrey
Ah, they're really committed. So you were attracted to all of the dwarves in addition to Brian Jeff?
Olivia
No, it was just. I think I kind of realized in that moment that, like, his whole identity is wrapped up into being this kind of cartoon dwarf. Like, this isn't a one time thing. This is his thing.
Brooke
Wait, you're saying he's not a Disney adult? He is a real life dwarf from the Seven Dwarves.
Jeffrey
Like a fanatic.
Olivia
Yes.
Brooke
Okay, just because it's one trip though, that doesn't mean he dresses like that. That all the time.
Jose
Yeah.
Jeffrey
He wasn't dressed like that for your date, right?
Olivia
No, he was wearing regular clothes. But something else weird happened is he walked me to my car and then as we were walking to my car, he was singing the hi ho song.
Jeffrey
It's off to kiss we go.
Alexis
Was he joking?
Brooke
Was it a joke because of the picture from earlier?
Olivia
I don't know. You know, I just met him, so, like, this is my first impression.
Brooke
That makes sense.
Jose
You're like, what do you do for a living? You're like, I'm a miner.
Jeffrey
I mine for gems.
Brooke
Look at this diamond I just pulled out from behind your ear.
Jeffrey
Oh, now Alexis is interested all of a sudden. That's the truth, but okay, it sounds like Olivia, you were just kind of overwhelmed by how into Disney he is.
Olivia
Yeah, it just kind of made me question things.
Jeffrey
We can all understand why you might feel that way. I'm curious if Brian does though, because he is on the other line of this question call waiting to jump in and talk to you.
Olivia
Are you serious?
Jeffrey
Yeah.
Brian
Yeah.
Olivia
Okay. You guys didn't tell me this when I Just told you all this information.
Jeffrey
Sorry about that, Olivia. But, yeah, he's there.
Brian
Olivia, I get. I get what you're saying there. By the way. I'm sorry I had to go this route, but maybe I played into it too much. But, no, I. I don't think I'm actually one of the seven dwarves. And. And. But the one I play, I'm bashful, by the way.
Jeffrey
Sweet one. Yeah. Brooke is drunky, so. Yeah, it's better than that one, for sure.
Jose
Whiny Olivia.
Jeffrey
Does that make it any better, knowing which specific character he is?
Jose
I feel like it does.
Olivia
I don't really know what to say, to be honest. I just. Like, if I'm gonna date you, like, do I have to dress up?
Brian
No, you don't have to. That's like, this is something I do with my friends. Of course, if you want to, like, that's a thing. But, like, you don't have to.
Jose
Oh, that's good.
Brooke
I mean, think of it this way. It's healthy. He's got good friendships. He has a cool hobby. He has other interests outside of you, which means he's going to be, oh, you know, not too clingy.
Alexis
Gone on vacation.
Brooke
Yeah, totally.
Jose
And he makes good money if he can afford to go to Disney five times.
Alexis
Not wrong.
Jeffrey
Totally. I mean, Alexis, would you be into him if you found out he was a Disney adult? Would that.
Brooke
Hmm.
Alexis
Could I go to the beach while he goes to the park?
Brooke
Yeah, I think that's a good compromise. Yeah.
Jeffrey
It's not quite a no.
Brian
And, you know, I. I probably should have waited to tell you this because I. Normally, I don't bring it up, but I felt so comfortable around you, and we were having such a good time that I was like, okay, you know, why not just tell you to.
Jose
That's good. Sharing his passions.
Brian
Yeah.
Olivia
I mean, it's definitely different than anyone I've dated before. I guess I could try it out, but if it goes too far, it's not going to be for me.
Brooke
Well, wait, is there maybe a Disney character you're more attracted to that he could try out?
Olivia
I. I guess we can explore the princes.
Brooke
Okay.
Alexis
They have a lot of facial hair.
Jeffrey
He's willing to shave for that.
Host/Announcer
I bet.
Brian
How about a little Chip and Dale? Those things. Those are.
Jeffrey
Wow. But we'd like to offer Roger Rabbit. Oh, my God. Well, Brian feels like you two had an obvious connection, so we'd like to offer to send you out on another date. And we would pay for it.
Olivia
That's nice. I wasn't planning to pay for it anyway, but.
Brian
Well, it's all right. I work in a diamond mine, so.
Jeffrey
Covered.
Brian
I'm. I'm sorry. I won't make those jokes on the.
Jeffrey
Oh, wow.
Brooke
Wait, is that a yes?
Jeffrey
Is that a yes?
Brian
Yes.
Brooke
All right.
Jeffrey
True love is possible in this world, not just in the Disney world. And turns out you don't have to ask to see a woman's foot and put a slipper on it to see if she's the one for you.
Brooke
We couldn't have just gone with dreams do come true.
Jeffrey
Dreams do come true when you're willing to change yourself as a man in order to fit exactly what a woman wants you to be.
Jose
It's when you wish upon a star, Jeff. Yeah.
Jeffrey
Stars and galaxy signs. Good job, Brian.
Brian
Well, thanks so much, Yang. Thanks for the help, Bashful.
Jose
A date like that's impressive.
Brooke
That's a good point.
Jeffrey
We really are the fairy godparents. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. I know. I was joking at the end there by saying guys can change themselves to become whichever Disney prince a woman dreams that she wants him to be.
Brooke
I can never actually tell when you're joking or not. I don't think that women want you to change yourself. I just think they want you to be cool from the start.
Jeffrey
Yeah.
Jose
But, yeah, they want you to be perfect.
Jeffrey
Told Olivia did seem tentative about his specific Disney character choices and how deep his passion was.
Brooke
Yeah, I mean, for me, someone who
Jose
goes to Disney once a year, he didn't seem that bad. There's literally the real Disney adults, like, live at the park.
Brooke
Well, five to six times a year is every other month, Jose.
Jose
Totally.
Jeffrey
Well, my advice to Brian is don't change yourself, okay? Be you. Just maybe wait till date 3 to bring your long floppy hat into the bedroom. That might freak her out a little bit.
Brooke
No, that's not part of it, Jeff. Didn't you hear him?
Jeffrey
Oh, okay. Well, whatever it is, just be you, Brian. Whichever. Whichever Disney dwarf character you are, you be the best version of that you can be.
Brooke
That's right.
Jeffrey
And if you want some help being the best version of yourself with a little bit of. With a little bit of an assist from our show, email us and we can call that person who's not calling you back. Go check out our podcast. They're upon. They're up online. Wherever you get yours at. Brooke and Jeffrey. Rarely do we get involved in local politics.
Jose
Whoa, here we go.
Brooke
Oh, we're doing it now.
Jeffrey
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. But this just came across my desk and it's too juicy. Jack McCarty is the current mayor of North Ridgeland, Texas. Of course, we all know that he's up for re election on May 2nd. Jack was expected to run unopposed.
Brooke
Yeah. Oh, what happened, Jeff?
Jeffrey
Well, some of the locals haven't approved of his work during his time in office.
Brooke
God, small towns love to hate mayors.
Jeffrey
But he's even come out and said he doesn't plan on doing any fundraising or spending any money to help his campaign.
Jose
All right, if no one's running against you, why would you?
Jeffrey
And that perked up the ears of a new challenger who just tossed his cowboy hat into the ring. His original name is Dustin Ebby, but he just changed his name legally. To quote literally anybody else. Yeah, dude, it's not a joke. This is real. So on the ballot your two choices are current mayor Jack McCarty or literally anybody else. This is a level of petty that we can get behind.
Brooke
When he gets elected, is he mayor else or is he go by his full name?
Jeffrey
You know what I mean? I think he stays by anybody else. No for Dustin. His friends do call him Dusty and he says someday he does plan to change his name game back depending on if he wins or loses.
Brooke
I don't know, I think he's gonna like it.
Alexis
It's so easy just to swap like that.
Jeffrey
I mean, yeah, literally anybody else definitely has our vote. And if it continues this way, we could be saying president anybody else? Very, very soon.
Jose
I will also vote for him on the presidential ballot.
Jeffrey
Absolutely.
Brooke
Don't forget literally.
Jeffrey
Okay, literally anybody else. We support it. Laser stories coming up right after this.

Hello, it's Laser Stories.
Jeffrey
It's the radio segment that's brought together two culinary giants, Wrigley's and Hidden Valley to create ranch flavored chewing gum.
Brooke
So your breath smells worse.
Jeffrey
Nothing says gourmet like chewable salad dressing. Go blow some ranch bubbles with your friends with Laser Story, the segment where we read weird news stories around the globe just like everyone else does. Except we've got a laser. Those other gooey chewies just don't.
Brooke
Can't wait for the Thousand island flavor.
Jeffrey
This first laser story is out of England. Two teenagers in the UK put up a creepy video on YouTube of them exploring an abandoned mall. In it, you could see the two boys, Lee and Reggie, climb over a barricaded escalator to explore the downstairs of the eerily empty shopping center. And then they heard a spooky noise and ran out of there.
Brooke
Oh my gosh. I bet that got some views, you know?
Jeffrey
Oh boy, did it. A day later, the video went up with the caption, abandoned shopping center in the middle of Cardiff city. We almost got caught by police or something.
Jose
Wait, what's the or something?
Brooke
Could be a ghost, Jose.
Jose
They weren't sure.
Brooke
A mall ghost.
Jeffrey
The only problem? The mall they were in was very much still open.
Brooke
Wait, what?
Jose
That is so sad.
Jeffrey
What do you mean? Viewers were quick to point out the mall is still actively in business and it was just a slow day when the two of them showed up and the comments started pouring in. One said, that's just. Queens are arcade, mate. It's always like that. Another said, you want to come explore my abandoned house? I'll sit in the living room and close the door behind you.
Jose
He walks into a jewelry store, like, oh my gosh, someone's here. How long have you lived here? Would you like to buy something?
Jeffrey
They tried to defend their post, saying they entered through a restricted door and didn't see one single person in the entire 20 minutes they spent inside.
Brooke
I mean, that could actually be true in some mall.
Jose
Malls and set off an alarm somewhere.
Jeffrey
Yeah, how were they supposed to know it was still open?
Jose
Yeah, that is so funny.
Brooke
I know people into malls.
Jeffrey
I can still smell the Cinnabon in here. Oh, like, it's almost like, wow, yesterday.
Jose
Is that a pretzel?
Jeffrey
This next laser story is out Of Florida. One of the stereotypes of the Sunshine State is that it's packed with drunk elderly people driving golf cart carts around.
Brooke
Yes, don't they pride themselves on that stereotype?
Jeffrey
Well guess what? Sometimes that's true. Hey, and I say that cuz a 65 year old man in Florida named James Prty is making news cuz he called 911 earlier this month after his wife fell out of their golf cart, hit her head and was unconscious.
Jose
Ain't nobody got time for that.
Jeffrey
When the cops arrived they noticed that James appeared in intoxicated and he admitted that they had been partying at the club since noon and it was around 9pm at the time.
Jose
Wow, that really is the club for old people, dude. But the country club.
Brooke
Sorry. If you're 65 and you can still go nine hours of steady drinking, that is impressive.
Jose
Well, he probably took a couple naps. Yeah, dozed off.
Jeffrey
Well, he did fail the sobriety test.
Alexis
Calm down.
Jeffrey
And right as they were about to put him in cuffs, his his wife suddenly came to sat up and told James, if cops show up, don't tell them that you were drinking.
Jose
Honey, they're here too.
Brooke
Too late.
Jeffrey
A little late for that. He was arrested and charged with DUI with serious bodily injury. Thankfully his wife should be okay. Just a little bump on the head and she's forgotten the last five years of her life. No big deal.
Brooke
Whatever. Not the good five years. So it's fine.
Jeffrey
Exactly.
Brooke
I mean, do we not have golf cart Ubers yet? Because that may be our new business plan. Yeah, we can hit every retirement community in Florida. Very true.
Jeffrey
Love it. Brooke, you get that started. This next laser story is out of Courtship Cove. We have some good news for you. If you have a thing for someone but you're pretty sure that they think you're. I don't know, gross, not quite ready to quit your day job and start Mulligan Modeling yet.
Jose
You know what I mean.
Brooke
They're not attracted to you. That's a weird way.
Jeffrey
I'm trying not to be so cruel about it.
Jose
Try to be nice. But you don't have to be.
Brooke
Just because you're ugly to one person doesn't mean you're ugly to everyone, Jeff.
Jeffrey
That's the message I'm trying to give here. There is still hope for you. Yeah, just keep putting your face directly in front of theirs.
Jose
What if you're ugly and they think you're ugly?
Jeffrey
Well no, because a new study out of Harvard University found the more you look at a face, the more attractive you start to think it is.
Brooke
Okay. I feel like Jeffrey's messaging is also. The closer you get, the more it'll work.
Jose
Yeah, get in their face.
Jeffrey
It's worth a shot. So even if your first impression of someone is that they're absolutely ugly, keep looking at them long enough and you'll eventually start to find them kind of attractive.
Jose
Is it very nice? Is that where the tension rises between you and Brooke Every day it's more
Jeffrey
of like Brooks family reunion tensions. Every year attention grows stronger.
Jose
What? She's known her cousin for 30 years now.
Brooke
You guys are so gross.
Jeffrey
It only gets hotter. The researchers got the idea cuz an old study found when people looked at a color for a long time, they thought it looked brighter when nothing really had changed about it.
Brooke
That's interesting.
Jeffrey
It's called the enhancement effect. And now we know it works for faces too. So if you know this now, you should really try to take advantage of it.
Brooke
Oh, well, I mean, if you're hot on the apps, then in 30 years when you're married to that person, they must be super tractor, right? Yeah, for a second when you flip through.
Jeffrey
Totally. Let's go to your I like you, Brooke optimism. We're sticking to it. Let's go to your final laser story out of Tennessee. A 34 year old woman named Brenda Harper was checking her doorbell camera and noticed a 78 year old door dash driver struggling to climb up her stairs to deliver her order.
Jose
Oh my gosh. I saw this and I cried.
Jeffrey
So did she get on the camera and be like, hey, can you go a little faster? No. She went outside to help and got her meal. And when she went inside, Brenda noticed his name was on the receipt. So she did a little Internet sleuthing and found him in real life. Real life.
Brooke
Okay.
Alexis
A.
Jose
Especially if you're like a small town, I'm sure it's easy to find a little creepy Brenda.
Alexis
Well, great stalking skills.
Jeffrey
She then sent him a message and he responded. And Brenda learned the reason why he was still working was to help cover his wife's kidney disease medication.
Jose
It's the cutest story ever.
Brooke
That's not cute.
Jose
Well, it turns cute.
Jeffrey
Instead of doing nothing about it, Brenda decided to launch a go fell fund me. And it quickly went viral. In the end, it even surprised her how many people cared because the GoFundMe has now surpassed $900,000.
Jose
I clicked on this and I went to donate and was like, well, never mind. Okay.
Brooke
Suddenly he's a rich guy. He leaves his wife and finds a hot piece of
Jose
Sorry Speedboat somewhere in Florida.
Jeffrey
Well, according to the enhancement effect, if you keep delivering Door dash to that same house, Brenda's gonna find him hotter and hotter.
Jose
So funny.
Jeffrey
But turns out the two of them couldn't be happier with how it turned out. And that much cash is a great thing, but has anybody thought of raising money through a gently worn shoe sale?
Brooke
No.
Jeffrey
I know a guy who would be more than willing to donate for it. Not sure if it's gently, but he is all in on those donations. And that sound means Laser Story has come to an end for the day. We'll do it again same time on Friday. It is not newbie week anymore. That has come and gone.
Jose
Is it Elder week?
Jeffrey
We've moved on to Ugly week, where every contestant is a certified 4 or lower.
Host/Announcer
How can we confirm that on the radio?
Jeffrey
The state has asked us to do a favor because all the pretty privileged people are always getting all the perks, all the benefits of life. So we gotta step in and take care of the uggos of the world.
Jose
Did we check the area code? Make sure it's not from the pretty part of town?
Brooke
I mean, it's got to be from where we all live. Yes, we're definitely in the same group
Jose
as that downtown and Ugly.
Jeffrey
Ugly, Ugly day.
Brooke
Yeah.
Jose
Ugly day. Ugly day. Yeah.
Jeffrey
Ugly day. And today we're talking to Mark. Mark, how would you rate yourself on the uggo meter scale of one to ugg?
Brian
Hopefully one, because I do have a lady in my life and I want to see how he does an ugly day.
Jeffrey
Oh, wow.
Brooke
Ladies love ug all the time. Mark.
Jeffrey
Yeah? You got one heck of a personality.
Jose
You're way too nice to be hot.
Jeffrey
I know.
Jose
That's just a fact.
Jeffrey
Yeah. Just too much personality for this show to handle. We better get to the game as quickly as possible. You got 30 seconds on the clock to answer as many questions as possible. If you don't know when, you could say pass. But you have to beat Brooke, who's already left the studio outright in order to win.
Jose
She's too pretty to be in here.
Jeffrey
Exactly. Scared her away. Good job, Mark. All right, are you ready?
Brian
I'm ready. Yeah. Let's do it.
Jeffrey
You got it. Your time starts now. Who was the first president to serve two non consecutive terms?
Brian
Roosevelt.
Jeffrey
In the TV show the Office, who is assistant to the regional manager?
Brian
Dwight.
Jeffrey
In which decade did World War II end?
Brian
40s. 1940s.
Jeffrey
In the marvel universe, the actor Benedict Cumberbatch played the role of what superheroes hero?
Brian
Doctor Strange.
Jeffrey
What Olympic Sport gives competitors three attempts at the Snatch Pass. Name the musician that was in the bands Nirvana and Foo Fighters.
Brian
Dave. Dave something.
Jose
Okay, if his name was Dave something, that would be an awesome bike.
Jeffrey
Oh, good work there, Mark. That was not bad at all. That's your first try, right? The first time playing the game.
Brian
Yeah, I know. Brooklyn Might want me, though.
Jose
It was also his first time.
Jeffrey
He was a newbie and an uggo at the same time.
Jose
Ugly and a rookie.
Host/Announcer
He had a tax break for that new go.
Jeffrey
Yeah. He brings so much to the table. And if you're hearing Mark right now wondering, whoa, is that guy single? Sorry, ladies, he is an engaged man. Tell us how you pop the question to your special lady.
Brian
But we went down to San Francisco, and I got a surprise proposal on the beach down there. It was really nice.
Miles
We had some candles, a nice board,
Brian
a nice little picnic.
Jeffrey
Awesome. Oh, what a romantic story. Thanks for sharing that with us, Mark.
Jose
Congrats, Mark.
Jeffrey
Now it's Brooke's turn. Brooke, are you ready?
Brooke
Yes, I'm ready.
Jeffrey
Your time starts now. Who was the first president to serve two non consecutive terms?
Brooke
I'm gonna go. I don't even know. Give me Adams.
Jeffrey
Then the TV show the Office. Who is assistant to the regional manager, Dwight Schrute. In which decade did World War II end?
Brooke
In the 40s.
Jeffrey
In the Marvel Universe, the actor Benedict Cumberbatch played the role of what superhero?
Brooke
Dr. Strange.
Jeffrey
In what Olympic sport do they give competitors three attempts at the snatch?
Brooke
Oh, you're snatching your weightlifting.
Jeffrey
All right, we got our answers in time to head on over to the scoreboard to see how you both did with Jose.
Jose
I have one simple request, and that is to have sharks with freaking laser beams attached to their hands.
Jeffrey
Banos.
Jose
I love that movie. Mark, you got three corrected. Amen. Your fiance will be so proud of you.
Jeffrey
Well done.
Brooke
He snatched it.
Jose
Good one, bro.
Miles
I did snatch it.
Jeffrey
Yes, you did, Brooke.
Jose
For correct.
Jeffrey
We were so, so close. Just barely wasn't enough. Today, let's go over the answers. First president to serve two non consecutive terms would be President Grover Cleveland.
Brooke
Oh, wow. It took that long.
Jeffrey
He was the 22nd and the 24th president. One cares about him in the T. That's true. In the TV show the Office, Dwight Schrute is assistant to the regional manager. World War II ended in the 1940s. 1945, specifically. In the Marvel universe, Benedict Cumberbatch plays Doctor Strange. Olympic sport that gives you three attempts at the snatch would be weightlifting. And Brook didn't get to this one. The musician who was in Nirvana and Foo Fighters. That would be Dave.
Brian
Cr.
Jeffrey
Oh, we couldn't give you half credit for that, Mark. I'm sorry.
Brian
I still. I still would have lost though.
Jose
Yeah, yeah. Three and a half.
Host/Announcer
You know what? Let's give him the half credit.
Jose
Three and a half.
Brooke
Did he say Dave? Somebody else.
Jeffrey
He said Dave something. Well, I'm sorry, Mark. It wasn't enough to win today. But the good news is, just for playing, we're giving you a pair of tickets to the win Washington State Spring Fair. The fair runs April 10th through the 12th and April 17th through the 19th. For more information, go to the fair.com.

Brooke
Thanks for coming on and playing and sorry about all the insults, man.
Brian
It's. It's okay. My. My fiance will give me some good compliments.
Alexis
Okay.
Brian
There you go.
Jeffrey
