Transcript

[Jeffrey]

Who?

[Brooke]

Did we get some comments yesterday? Hey, it's Brooke and Jeffrey. Welcome to the full show podcast. We got a brand new hour for you and we had a mass speaker on yesterday that sounded like we didn't turn the voice changer on.

[Jose]

Yeah, even I was convinced.

[Brooke]

Yeah, we promise. We promise that her voice was altered.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Why? It sounded like a normal voice. I don't know.

[Jose]

Maybe her original voice is super high, so when you make it low, it.

[Brooke]

Just sounds like this or she sounds like a robot, you know, in real life. I don't know. I don't know why it sounded like that. But I swear, where it was on.

[Alexis]

Got a lot of attention, a lot of comments. We couldn't reply to all of them. So we're like, we'll just address it on the podcast tomorrow.

[Brooke]

So thanks for the heads up though, because that is something that we would screw up.

[Jose]

So I thought we did.

[Alexis]

I mean, we all thought we did.

[Jose]

No, we did. I was like, oh, never mind.

[Brooke]

So you aren't crazy for assuming that. So before we get to this brand new full hour, what's our comment of the day?

[Alexis]

Speaking of another thing that seems like an air, but it's not a horror kennel hall said. Not sure if y' all know, but every time you post on YouTube after Jeff says your phone taps coming up, it's win Brooks Bucks next. But it's because our show is four hours and we edited it down to one for the podcast. So sometimes Jeff says something's coming up next.

[Brooke]

So on the radio, there's music and commercials and other things in there, but. Okay, well, just know.

[Alexis]

Is this making it more confusing?

[Brooke]

It is.

[Jose]

This is coming up next. Or a song or a commercial.

[Brooke]

We're just gonna do this.

[Jose]

Or a YouTube video.

[Brooke]

If you hear anything wrong from now on, just blame Alexis.

[Jose]

Yeah, okay, I like that.

[Brooke]

That's what it comes down to.

[Alexis]

I probably did it on purpose. 99.9% chance.

[Brooke]

Yeah. All right, your full hour with all the mistakes start right now.

[Jeffrey]

It's time to place your bets for the big game. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And who am I kidding? A lot of you probably already have. Because modern sports have basically devolved into a delivery system for widespread legalized gamb America. We did it. But experts say this year alone on the big bowl that some call super Americans are going to spend an all time record $1.76 billion on gambling.

[Brooke]

Dude, I'm so glad that we can't feed and house people. Yeah, this is way more important.

[Jose]

The amount that we Lose could help some people.

[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

And that's. It's not even talking about under the table stuff. That's just like DraftKings, FanDuel, and Vegas.

[Brooke]

About under the table. O.

[Jeffrey]

That's my favorite kind of stuff. Cause no single event brings fans together quite like the great American football game of all games. You know the game, we're saying, so do our lawyers. And this new record setting figure shows just how much Americans truly enjoy gambling. As part of that magical experience, my.

[Brooke]

Husband still owes me 30 bucks from a Super Bowl 10 years ago. A big game 10 years ago.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, God. Well, we just lost $20,000 to the NFL. Did that for saying the real name.

[Jose]

No one knew what we were talking about.

[Jeffrey]

But is that the biggest bet that you've ever made Sports wise, Brooke? 30 bucks with your husband? Yeah, that's the biggest.

[Jose]

I started you 10 bucks on roulette with me.

[Jeffrey]

Now, was that an above table or under the table?

[Brooke]

My husband is definitely under the table.

[Jeffrey]

Speaking of going under the table, let's throw this over to our digital producer and our show's personal bookie, Jake.

[Jose]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

As a famous Denver Bronco quarterback once said, let's ride.

[Jake]

Well, 2003 was a great year. Trucker hats were in. Jose was wearing his velour tracksuit to high school. Definitely not doing weed.

[Brooke]

No.

[Jake]

And Brooke was over at her friend's house with a whale tail hanging out, eating Crunch and Munch while laughing at Larry the Cable Guy specials on vhs.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah, I never wore a whale tail. I had like Scooby Doo underwear that year that my girlfriends were making fun of.

[Jake]

Mystery Machine.

[Brooke]

That little backup thing still hang out? There's just a lot more fabric.

[Leticia]

I wasn't a whale teller.

[Jake]

Did not see your Hanna Barbera. But in 2004, that's when everything changed because a little website called Facebook was created.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my.

[Jake]

Picture this. A college age Mark Zuckerberg sitting in his tiny dorm room asking other Harvard students to log on and rate the hotness of their fellow Ivy League classmates.

[Brooke]

It's always someone like Zuckerberg that's rating hotness.

[Jake]

That's how it started.

[Brooke]

Really?

[Jake]

Watch the movie. But since then, Facebook has evolved into a place where your aunt argues with some guy named Freedom Eagle 1776, about the dangers of windmills.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jose]

Oh, gosh. And he knows so much about it.

[Jake]

That's why today, in honor of Facebook's birthday, we're playing a special pre face or post face edition of oh, my God. Plenty of 20. Say a number one through 20. I'll give you a famous person, product, company, pop culture moment. You need to tell me if it came before Facebook, pre face or after Facebook post face.

[Brooke]

Interesting.

[Jeffrey]

Facebook's 2004.

[Jake]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

Gotcha.

[Jake]

We'll start with the woman who's a proud pre face herself.

[Alexis]

That's Alexis 5.

[Jake]

Alexis, in this year, the euro officially became a physical currency of Europe. Lose yourself by Eminem was released, and the TV show American idol premiered. Did all these things happen pre faced or post phase? Again, 2004.

[Jose]

American Idol's throwing me off. When did that Eminem, too.

[Alexis]

I'm like, is he pre 2000?

[Jeffrey]

Like, just use your vast knowledge of the euro as currency. It's true.

[Alexis]

I know more about that than American Idol or Eminem.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, that's your area of expertise. Foreign currency.

[Alexis]

I say parib face.

[Jake]

Alexis says before 2004. Yes, you're right, Alexis. 2002 was that year.

[Jose]

Oh, geez.

[Jeffrey]

Closer than I thought.

[Jake]

Brooke, we're over to you. Five is off the board.

[Brooke]

Well, let's choose four since it's 2004.

[Jake]

In this year, Curb Your Enthusiasm debuted on HBO. Big Brother debuted on CBS, the film Castaway hit theaters, and the PlayStation 2 was released. Is that pre face or post face?

[Brooke]

Well, this would have been an era where I don't think I owned a television.

[Jose]

Okay.

[Backseat Pete]

All right.

[Brooke]

I think casting. What happened after 2004? I'm gonna say post face.

[Jake]

Brook says post face. That's a pre face. Any guess on the year? Anyone?

[Brooke]

2004?

[Jeffrey]

1998?

[Jake]

2000. Just a flat new millennium. 2000.

[Brooke]

Dude, Big Brother's been going for that long. Wild.

[Jake]

Jose. Four and five are off the board.

[Jose]

Okay, let's go two for the 2000s.

[Jake]

In this year, the Xbox 360 was released.

[Jose]

Video games.

[Jake]

The first season of the office aired. Oh, Juicy Couture. Tracksuits were everywhere. And the song we together by Mariah Carey hit number one. Is that pre face or post face?

[Jeffrey]

Wow.

[Jose]

Juicy was so big in high school.

[Brooke]

Which means Paris Hilton was huge. Yeah, right, because she's really.

[Jose]

And that was when she had that TV show on.

[Brooke]

Simple Life.

[Jose]

Simple life. I feel like it's gonna be just before, like, 2003. So I'm gonna say pre face.

[Jake]

Jose says before Facebook. No, Jose. Just after 2005 was. Jeffrey, we're going over to you. We're doing pre face or post face for Facebook's birthday. Need to get this right or Alexis is going to win today.

[Jeffrey]

I have been wrong on all of my guesses so far. I'm going to say 16 for no reason.

[Jake]

Okay. There's only a finite amount of years, so this should be easier for you, Jeffrey. In this year, the movie Finding Nemo was released, the itunes music store launched, and the shining star amongst all cell phones ever was created the Motorola razor.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yeah.

[Jake]

Just tell me, Jeff, is this pre face or post face?

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Bring back that razor life.

[Jose]

I know. I think they tried to actually.

[Jeffrey]

My mind is so messed up because I swear I had a Motorola razr when I was 10 years old, and I don't think that's right. Yeah, and that was my second phone. My first phone was one of those Nokia, those little. The gray bricks.

[Jose]

Bricks. I had the same.

[Brooke]

I wanted a razor, but I didn't have enough money to buy one, so I got like a. Yeah, freebie. That was like a knockoff.

[Jose]

That's what I kind of got later.

[Jeffrey]

And that's the only reference that I have is that.

[Brooke]

Why do I feel like you bejeweled your razor too?

[Jeffrey]

I hired people to do it for me.

[Jake]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

So I just. Out of that, I'm going to say it's pre face.

[Jake]

Jeffrey says pre face, and he's correct. That's 2003. And that brings us to a tiebreaker between Alexis and Jeff. Alexis, I need a number from you. If you get it right, you win. If you get it wrong, Jeffrey wins.

[Brooke]

Okay. Three.

[Jeffrey]

I'm gonna say six.

[Jake]

Okay. Geoffrey didn't ask you.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, I thought.

[Jake]

I'll stick with her.

[Jeffrey]

3.

[Jake]

This is just for Alexis. Jeffrey, please do not answer.

[Jose]

Okay, Alexis.

[Jake]

In this year, Gnarls Barkley dominated the radio with the song Crazy Twitter launched and the film Pirates of the Dead man's chest came out to huge crowds. Is that pre face or postface?

[Alexis]

Ooh, Pirates of the Caribbean. I feel like is older than. I don't know. I feel like it's early 2000. Say pre phase.

[Jake]

Alexa says pre. It's pose. Thanks to the year 2006, Jeffrey has won today's edition of Plenty of 20.

[Backseat Pete]

All right.

[Jeffrey]

And for losing the tiebreaker to me through no effort of my own, Alexis, you are getting shocked while singing we belong together by Mariah Carey throwback.

[Alexis]

When you left, I lost a part of me. It's still so hard to believe.

[Ryan]

We.

[Jeffrey]

All lost a part of ourselves. That was your shot collar Question of.

[Announcer]

The day, Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

You've heard of an earworm where a song gets stuck in your head and you just can't stop hearing it?

[Jose]

It happens to me all the time.

[Jeffrey]

Yes, well, I have Something similar. I call it brain worms.

[Brooke]

Oh, wait, that's not good.

[Jeffrey]

Where I have an interesting thought and I just obsess about it for hours and hours, and I can't stop thinking about it.

[Brooke]

I thought you just. Just ate some bad meat and things.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, this is different. This is brain worms and full disclosure. Right now my skull is riddled with these brain worms.

[Brooke]

That is so gross.

[Jeffrey]

I think I caught him over the weekend at a highway truck stop. And the only here is a brand new edition of what's on your mind.

[Jose]

That's how you get real worms.

[Brooke]

So you're gonna let the worms out?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I know I'll feel better once I get my brainworn thoughts out there and gone for good. During a brand new what's on your mind? It's coming up right now. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the. And back in my day, there was so much toilet paper and so many eggs. We'd gather at night and throw them at the houses of our enemies.

[Jose]

It's too expensive.

[Jeffrey]

Now it's just different times. How do we navigate this crazy new modern world? Not very gracefully, no. And you're gonna find that out as we go around the room sharing what we've each been thinking about. For what's on your mind, Starting with Brooke. Brooke, what's on your mind?

[Brooke]

So recently, I went to a lunch with one of our big bosses. Like, you know, big, big boss. And we were talking about goals for the show, and I was like, oh, you know, we really want to grow our video presence. We want people to follow our YouTube. Patrick and Jeffrey, you're not there already? And he goes, well, you know what you have to do. And I'm like, oh, my God, I'm gonna get this, like, crazy industry secret, right?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. He's connected. He must know.

[Craigslist Seller]

Totally.

[Brooke]

And he goes, you know. And I'm like, what, only fans?

[Jeffrey]

Is that what he's suggesting?

[Brooke]

I don't know.

[Jose]

I was like, Jeff would go there right away.

[Brooke]

I was like, I. I don't get it. And he kind of like, does a hand motion at my face.

[Leticia]

Okay.

[Brooke]

He's like, well, you just, you know, you need to fix. Fix the.

[Jose]

Work done.

[Jeffrey]

What? The glasses. The glasses are holding her back. What was it?

[Brooke]

He goes, well, it's just like, you're so beautiful when you, like, put in some effort. And the thing is, is that he's not wrong. He's not wrong.

[Jose]

Oh, yeah. People in text are always like, who knew Brooke was so hot? We all know.

[Jeffrey]

Just never tries.

[Brooke]

I just want to Apologize to the show for holding you back.

[Jeffrey]

Yes, thank you.

[Brooke]

With my greasy hair and my unkept face.

[Jeffrey]

Well, yes. Thanks for hiding most of it under a hat for this segment. We appreciate that.

[Brooke]

I. I haven't taken this lesson to heart yet, but.

[Jeffrey]

Good word. Brooke. Jose, what's been on your mind?

[Jose]

Well, I know that a lot of my stories have to do with bathroom sporting events.

[Jeffrey]

You spend, like, 90% of your life in bathroom. I do.

[Jose]

So even when I'm at sporting events, I'm in the bathroom a lot. And you're not gonna believe this. I got another story for you.

[Jeffrey]

Let's go.

[Jose]

So I'm standing in line waiting for the bathroom, and there's a guy in front of me, and he has a giant bucket of food. It's like, yes. In the bathroom. And he looks and he's like, dude, dude, I did not think about this. I should have gotten this after the bathroom. I don't know.

[Jake]

I'm by myself.

[Jose]

I don't know how I'm gonna put this down. It's a huge bucket. Like a popcorn bucket.

[Jeffrey]

Imagine.

[Jose]

Right?

[Jeffrey]

You don't want to put that on the floor.

[Jose]

No.

[Jeffrey]

Totally.

[Brooke]

Already getting stuff. Yeah.

[Jose]

Just being in the room is kind of gross.

[Jeffrey]

I get that.

[Jose]

But I go, hey, man, I can hold your stuff. So a urinal opens up, and he hands me his food.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jose]

And then he walks away to the urinal. But then I realized, well, I can't just, like, like, stand here because I got to be by him. So I kind of follow him to his urinal.

[Jake]

Right.

[Jose]

So then I'm, like, kind of behind him. And then I realize I look like a butler. I'm just, like, holding his food while this guy's. And he's very happy. He's talking to me.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yeah.

[Jose]

Anyway, so now he's done, and he's like, hey, I gotta go wash my hands. Will you follow me?

[Jake]

Oh, okay. So I.

[Brooke]

But you haven't gone to the bathroom.

[Jose]

I have not gone to the bathroom yet. But it sparked an idea. What if I started some type of bathroom butlers for hire at stadiums where you pay me to hold your stuff?

[Jake]

You're gonna find there anyway.

[Jose]

I'm gonna be standing there the whole time anyway. And it could end up paying for all my tickets and stuff. I could make an app like, this could be a whole bathroom butler situation.

[Jeffrey]

This could be a whole side career for you. Yeah.

[Jake]

All right.

[Jose]

Text him. You think it's a good idea.

[Jeffrey]

Alexis, what's been on your mind?

[Alexis]

So there's this guy I'm interested in talking to right now. And his first language is. Is Spanish, and mine's not, obviously.

[Ryan]

Really?

[Brooke]

I'm glad you said obviously. Nobody could tell.

[Alexis]

When I text him. I'm trying to practice Spanish, so I'll, like, text in Spanish sometimes. Here and there.

[Brooke]

Okay. Do you use, like, Google Translates?

[Alexis]

Sometimes, yeah, sometimes I just go for it.

[Jeffrey]

You should.

[Jose]

We can correct you.

[Jeffrey]

I.

[Alexis]

Like, he'll know what I'm trying to say.

[Brooke]

Right.

[Alexis]

So the other day he was, like, trying to ask if you could call me about something, and I just replied like, oh, it didn't work out. To talk at the same time today, you know?

[Jeffrey]

You wrote that in Spanish.

[Alexis]

Yes, I talked.

[Brooke]

I thought so.

[Alexis]

I thought I said that in Spanish. But then he replies like, okay, if that's what you want. Like. And I was like, that's kind of weird. And then I was like, what? And then his, like, tone shifted, and I was like, this is kind of weird.

[Jeffrey]

What did you say?

[Alexis]

So I went and put it in a translator, and I don't know what happened. It said, quote, I'm sorry I'm not managing to find a good balance in life right now. I think it's a good idea for us to not talk at all.

[Jose]

What is What?

[Alexis]

How I put so many words, like, what happened?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, no.

[Alexis]

So then I start calling, and I'm like, speaking English, obviously. And I'm like, wait, no, that's not what I meant.

[Jose]

So you accidentally broke up with a.

[Alexis]

Guy you like by trying to speak his language?

[Jose]

Trying to get closer to him.

[Alexis]

My Spanish teacher will be hearing from me every time.

[Jose]

We need to hire you a translator.

[Brooke]

All right, Jeffrey, what's on your mind?

[Jeffrey]

Well, if you've listened to our show for a while, you probably know this already, but our number one most popular segment by far is the Second date updates.

[Brooke]

Yeah, dude.

[Jeffrey]

And the thing is, whenever you do something that's popular and people like it, there's bound to be copycats.

[Brooke]

Oh, there's so many out there.

[Jeffrey]

People trying to get in on the action. So I know on TikTok, people have just been ripping off our feed. They'll play the audio and put images of, like, video gameplay over it.

[Brooke]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jeffrey]

But now there's a new wrinkle. There's several YouTube accounts that are posting our second date content using AI generated images.

[Alexis]

No.

[Jeffrey]

Particularly of me and Brooke. No.

[Jose]

In the thumbnail, I have seen one picture of you and Brooke. That wasn't you.

[Brooke]

I'm sorry, who do I sue?

[Jeffrey]

I printed out.

[Brooke]

I don't Want to know what it looks like?

[Jeffrey]

I printed out a few just to show you. Yes. Maybe we could show these on camera, too, so our listeners can see. I've titled each of these just for myself, for my own pleasure. The first One I call fun 80s mom. No, Brooke, why don't you look at that one?

[Alexis]

Oh, my God.

[Jeffrey]

They look kind of similar to us, but they. They really do. Brooke dirty on this one.

[Jose]

Cop on Reno911. You kind of look like her in that picture.

[Jeffrey]

Second one I titled Jeffrey and the Geriatric. No. What do you think of that?

[Brooke]

I get older.

[Jose]

Oh, my gosh. Don't show it to the camera.

[Jeffrey]

Pretty close. How you look in real life.

[Ryan]

Oh, no.

[Brooke]

That looks like I'm gonna be on the Golden Bachelor.

[Alexis]

I think you're too old for the Golden Bachelor.

[Jeffrey]

The last one.

[Brooke]

What is.

[Jeffrey]

This is probably the most accurate one. I'm gonna call this one Rogue Kiss.

[Jose]

Hey, this one's on fire.

[Jeffrey]

As far as, like, lookalikes, it looks really close.

[Brooke]

Why is my head not even attached to my body?

[Jeffrey]

You're that desperate to get your lips onto my face? Obviously. So you can see all of the AI on our official YouTube at Brooke and Jeffrey. That's the real one.

[Brooke]

Why does AI hate me?

[Jeffrey]

That's what's been on our mind. You can text in 78592, tell us what's been on yours. It's Brooklyn, Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and we've got a lot of listeners right now who are writing into the show on our text board. You can Write into at 78592 and tell us what's been on your mind. First one says, omg. Hi. I'm such a fan of you guys. I can't believe you responded to me. Oh, geez. Another sad text from Brooke's husband. Oh, God, Brooke, will you write back to him this time? I will.

[Brooke]

Later.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. Keep holding on, Michael.

[Jose]

Let's talk to him today.

[Jeffrey]

Another text says, what's on my mind is that this fog is thicker than Brooke's glasses.

[Ryan]

Impossible.

[Jake]

Physically impossible.

[Brooke]

Thank you, Jake.

[Jose]

He's the only one that can see through it.

[Brooke]

I pulled up my prescription the other day for a girlfriend. Cause I was like, no, they're really bad. I don't. I was like, whoa, it's even worse than I remembered.

[Alexis]

You're starting to forget things too.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, no, the brain is going as well. Another text says, final one. Can't believe I just drunk texted a radio show.

[Jose]

Heart emoji Good morning.

[Jeffrey]

I can't believe I just read that sober. So I guess you and me are even.

[Alexis]

Anxiety is real.

[Jeffrey]

If you want to hear more from the show, you go find our podcast on Apple, Spotify, all the platforms, YouTube.

[Brooke]

Yeah, you know, all the things. BrookeandJeffery.

[Announcer]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

No question, finding a good, stable partner right now seems harder than ever when you get one.

[Brooke]

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

[Jeffrey]

And some of your quote unquote friends, I'm sure will try to help you with your dating life by telling you to ditch toxic people. You know, beware of red flags. Remember your self worth.

[Brooke]

Yeah, all that is good.

[Jeffrey]

No, wrong. Not us.

[Jake]

Us.

[Jeffrey]

We are saying the opposite.

[Jose]

We are.

[Jeffrey]

We don't want you to be cautious. We don't want you to remember your worth. We say go climb in that weird van with those strange people.

[Brooke]

No, we don't say that.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, chase down all the red flags. Danger in the face and kiss it right on the mouth. Cause we need your wild train wreck date stories so our listeners can hear them and have a reason to not feel bad about themselves. That's right. We're gonna let those red flags fly. A brand new edition of Battle of the Tinder dance.

[Brooke]

Man, how heroic, Jeff. That's right.

[Jeffrey]

Coming up. You did it. You did it. And we support you. Coming up right after this, two hopeless.

[Announcer]

Daters, One dating app that dares you to swipe right. The question is, whose love life is more tragic? It's Battle of the Tinder Dates.

[Jeffrey]

It is the dating game show that reminds every hopeful lover you can't spell marriage without I rage.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Jeffrey]

It's Battle of the tinder dates where 2 of listeners go head to head to figure out whose love life is the most tragic. We'll go over the rules in just a second, but first, let's meet today's contestants. In this corner, he likes to hook up in his car, but insists you both keep your seat belts on the entire time. Say hello to back seat Pete.

[Backseat Pete]

Yo, what's up, guys?

[Brooke]

No whiplash for you, Pete.

[Jeffrey]

And in the other corner, his perfect perfect date involves going to a 7 11, splitting a Slurpee, then going lady and the tramp on an extra large beef stick. That's why they call him Slim Jim, Tim.

[Backseat Pete]

Hey, what's up, guys?

[Brooke]

Nothing about that sounds that bad.

[Jeffrey]

Just so you know, just describe Brooks dream date. Here's how the game works. One contestant will start by telling one of their worst date stories. The other will try and counter with a nightmare story of their Own going back and forth for three rounds until we declare a winner. Let's start it off with Backseat Pete. Go for it.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Backseat Pete]

So I took my date to one of those, like, old drive in movie theaters, and we agreed ahead of time that she had the better car for the movie.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Backseat Pete]

But when we got there, somehow, while trying to park, she hit three different vehicles.

[Leticia]

Is Alex.

[Brooke]

Texas is being mighty quiet right now. That's interesting.

[Alexis]

Give her a break.

[Jeffrey]

I like that. That she hit two and you were like, you know what? Keep going.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

You got this. Yeah.

[Ryan]

Finally.

[Backseat Pete]

We just had to leave. I drove.

[Jeffrey]

You drove out. Okay. Only hit one car.

[Ryan]

That's good.

[Jeffrey]

All right. Slim Jim. Tim.

[Backseat Pete]

Well, I went out with a girl who insisted that we meet at Home Depot for our first date.

[Jeffrey]

Nice.

[Backseat Pete]

I like a date with an activity.

[Craigslist Seller]

Sure.

[Backseat Pete]

I get there and she texts me to meet her in the lumber area.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my. That's so forward. Oh, okay. I like where this goes.

[Brooke]

That's where it goes. I'll do Jeff's, by the way. Right.

[Backseat Pete]

So I managed to find her, and she's in a very revealing outfit, and a number of guys are hitting on her, trying to pick her up. And she walks over to me with this big smile, and she says, are you jealous yet?

[Brooke]

Oh, did you see all the suburban dads who want this?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yeah. Oh, God. All right, we're on to round two. That means, Pete, you got to step it up. We're back to you.

[Brooke]

So awkward.

[Backseat Pete]

So halfway through dinner, I was telling a story to my date when she said, wait, my therapist is going to love this.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, oh.

[Backseat Pete]

And then she started voice recording us mid date.

[Brooke]

I mean, maybe she's trying to get you a free therapy session.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Backseat Pete]

So she, like, turns the phone towards me and goes, wait, can you just repeat what you just said?

[Brooke]

What?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, she wants her therapist to know about you. That must mean she's into you.

[Jose]

Oh, I like that.

[Brooke]

Look. Another broken one.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. All right, Tim, time to punch back.

[Backseat Pete]

I met up with this really cute girl at a bar, and a few minutes in, she tells me that she only dates men who are taller than her ex.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, okay. All right.

[Ryan]

Right.

[Backseat Pete]

I'm like, how tall is he?

[Jose]

Right.

[Backseat Pete]

That's when she takes me by the arm over to the bartender and says, this is him.

[Jeffrey]

She still hangs out there.

[Backseat Pete]

He had me, no joke, stand back.

[Ryan]

To back with him.

[Jose]

Cringe.

[Jeffrey]

And who was taller?

[Craigslist Seller]

He was taller.

[Brooke]

Sorry. Sounds like she's totally over him, though.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Backseat Pete]

Yeah, clearly not. And then the bartender's like, like, dude, I'M so sorry. And he ended up giving me a free drink.

[Jeffrey]

Actually. Yeah, he's a cool guy.

[Backseat Pete]

I think he knew what was up.

[Jeffrey]

Clearly. All right, we're on to the third and final round, so we need your best stories here, gentlemen. So backseat Pete, hit us with it.

[Backseat Pete]

Okay, so a girl invited me over to her house to watch a movie and get takeout. Asked if I could grab in and out on the way over.

[Brooke]

Animal style. Let's go. Yeah, so I did.

[Backseat Pete]

And I waited in a really long drive through line, like, hey, sorry it's taking forever. I finally get to her place, I ring the doorbell. Nothing.

[Brooke]

What? Huh?

[Backseat Pete]

Then she texts me. She's like, hey, I want to play a game. So I'm like, okay. And she instructs me to leave the food by the front door.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Backseat Pete]

And then she tells me to go stand by my car.

[Leticia]

Car.

[Jeffrey]

So I do. Yeah.

[Backseat Pete]

Then I see her open the door, take the food, shut off the porch light, and then she blocks me on text.

[Brooke]

She figured out a delivery driver hack.

[Jeffrey]

So do you win the game or does she win the game? I can't tell. I think.

[Brooke]

I think he's the loser.

[Backseat Pete]

Yeah, well, I. I will say she did leave me a five dollar tip on her welcome pack.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, wow. Okay. All right, Pete, you win.

[Brooke]

That's pretty nice.

[Jeffrey]

Except you don't get the in and out. All right, Slim Jim T, this is your last shot.

[Backseat Pete]

Yeah, so I met this girl on Tinder, and in her bio, she said one of her favorite things to do is go shopping. So I took her to a farmer's market.

[Brooke]

That's cute.

[Jose]

Oh, no.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, that's a classic for a date.

[Brooke]

Because when girls say shopping, they mean for vegetables.

[Jose]

Talk about heels, bro.

[Jeffrey]

You gotta be specific.

[Backseat Pete]

So we met up and she doesn't really look like she's having fun, so. So I asked her.

[Ryan]

I was like, what's up?

[Backseat Pete]

And then she tells me she's sorry, but she doesn't support local businesses.

[Brooke]

What? How is that even a thing?

[Jose]

It's a hot take.

[Backseat Pete]

She says it's against her beliefs and she. She only shops at Amazon and Temu.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, all those mom and pop shops cutting in on Amazon's profits. It's not okay.

[Brooke]

I only support support billionaires.

[Jeffrey]

We heard the final bell there. That means the match is over. So, judges, let's score it. Alexis, who you giving it to?

[Alexis]

I'm going, Tim, because you were just too short compared to the ex.

[Jeffrey]

We got one. She's done.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Brooke, what about you?

[Brooke]

I gotta say, Pete, for the Uber driver.

[Jeffrey]

We're all locked up here, so, Jose, final choice is yours.

[Jose]

Oh, my gosh. I think the therapist date was so cringe. I gotta go with Pete.

[Jeffrey]

That means congratulations, Backseat Pete. You are our Screwed dude of the week week. How does it feel? Yeah, I don't know.

[Backseat Pete]

I, I. Does it get lower than this?

[Ryan]

Who's to say?

[Brooke]

Sadly, I think it may.

[Leticia]

Yeah.

[Jose]

Wait till we get to the championship series.

[Jeffrey]

I know we're having you back for another round soon, but text in 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. It's almost time for your prank call. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And it's not like we don't have a plan going into these. We usually do, so. Yeah, or at least our product producer does.

[Brooke]

An idea of a plan, a concept.

[Jeffrey]

Of some sort of plan Now. And today we were calling a guy who's selling a piece of IKEA furniture on Craigslist.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

And our plan was to intimidate him by saying, we work for Ikea, and you can't just go and sell our stuff whenever you want to.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

And then we were gonna call him back later and say, actually, we changed our minds. You totally can't. Can sell it. And then we call again and be like, actually, no, we're changing again. Our legal team says no.

[Brooke]

It does feel like dealing with a corporation too.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, but we didn't know that he'd get so bothered the first time we brought it up, so had to go a little bit of a different route. You're gonna hear it in your phone tap right now.

[Announcer]

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

[Ryan]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Hi, I'm calling about the IKEA side table you put on Craigslist list.

[Craigslist Seller]

Yeah, you got the right number. With whom am I speaking?

[Jeffrey]

I don't really feel like answering that question, but I just saw it has a price here listed for $50.

[Craigslist Seller]

That's correct, sir.

[Jeffrey]

Is it not sold yet?

[Craigslist Seller]

No, not sold just yet.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well, I have a big problem with it. What's that? Well, I'm calling from Ikea, and you are trying to sell our products. That's kind of a copyright issue.

[Backseat Pete]

Well, I bought it, and so then.

[Craigslist Seller]

It became mine, and so now I'm selling it.

[Backseat Pete]

So that's just how that works.

[Jeffrey]

Actually, no, that's not how it works, because your ad says IKEA side table, which is accurate.

[Craigslist Seller]

I bought it from ikea.

[Jeffrey]

Well, if you would just put manufactured Swedish wink side table on the end, then we wouldn't have had a leg to stand on. But you put our company name in it and that's brand infringement.

[Craigslist Seller]

Is this really happening right now? I'm selling a IKEA table.

[Jeffrey]

That is what it is.

[Craigslist Seller]

Okay, for 50 bucks. There you go, you're coming after me.

[Jeffrey]

You said it again. So right. Listen, if I was you, I wouldn't even say it out loud because we could ding you for that as well, since you're not a representative of the company.

[Craigslist Seller]

Well, you're not me. I'm me. You can't stop me, no matter who you are. I'm gonna do what I'm gonna do because this is stupid. What are you talking about?

[Jeffrey]

It is stupid that you would put it up for sale the way that you did.

[Craigslist Seller]

You know what's stupid? Stupid Ikea hiring guys like you to go through Craigslist.

[Jeffrey]

You know what? I'm feeling kind of generous today. I'm gonna help you out here. If you don't want to, you can face the legal repercussions.

[Craigslist Seller]

Well, I'm definitely not your buddy and this call is wasting my time. So do whatever you're gonna do. I'm gonna keep this ad up and I'm gonna sell it under the IKEA name because that's what the it is.

[Jeffrey]

That's totally fine. Keep the ad up. I would just recommend you change it to say, a side table, possibly from a popular Swedish furniture manufacturer.

[Ryan]

Sure.

[Craigslist Seller]

Not going to do that, bud.

[Jeffrey]

If you do, I'll reduce the fine on it. Yeah, normally It'd be a $10,000 I do.

[Craigslist Seller]

You must not hear yourself. This is not how it works.

[Jeffrey]

Well, you should be listening to me because normally it's a ten thousand dollar penalty for anyone who does what you're doing. But I would generously I would reduce it to five grand brand since it's a first time infraction.

[Craigslist Seller]

Oh, now I get it.

[Leticia]

This is a scam.

[Craigslist Seller]

You're not even from ikea. It's making sense.

[Jeffrey]

No, I absolutely am, sir, and I can prove it.

[Craigslist Seller]

Sure you are. Sure you are.

[Jeffrey]

I could prove it to you.

[Craigslist Seller]

Please do.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. You know how we have funny names for our furniture in the store? Ask me about any piece. Dining table, chair, ottoman, whatever. I could tell you immediately the Swedish translation for it.

[Craigslist Seller]

Nice, that's cool. I'm gonna hop on ikea.com and have that same info in front of me.

[Jeffrey]

Pick one item, just try me. Fine.

[Craigslist Seller]

Wing back chair with a footstool.

[Jeffrey]

Nice try. We don't sell that.

[Backseat Pete]

Oh, my God, this is so dumb.

[Craigslist Seller]

How about coffee table? You guys sell those at Ikea Coffee tables?

[Jeffrey]

Okay, yeah, I'm gonna need the dimensions, though.

[Craigslist Seller]

It's a normal coffee table. I don't know the dimensions of your coffee table. Okay, Seem to make a big deal out of all this and how Ikea idea has a hold on everything.

[Jeffrey]

So are you saying half length of the sofa to 2/3 or 14 to 18 clearance in terms of leg space underneath?

[Craigslist Seller]

I don't care. Any cable. This is your idea.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well, I have a side table called the Fajala Bow with a glass top, and I could sell that to you for $50.

[Craigslist Seller]

That's the table that I'm selling. This is clearly a skit. Why are you trying to sell me the thing that I'm trying to sell?

[Jeffrey]

Okay, I'll. I'll throw $5 off. 45 bucks.

[Craigslist Seller]

You must think I'm as stupid as you are.

[Jeffrey]

Well, your sister Stephanie said that you were the stupid one. It's not coming from me.

[Craigslist Seller]

Wait, what?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, your sister, she listens to a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning, and they do these prank phone calls like the one that we're doing on you right now. I know they're kind of dumb, but here we are.

[Craigslist Seller]

Unbelievable.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, man. I'm sorry, dude. This is actually a phone tap. Your sister Stephanie, she told us that you were going to be moving soon and you'd have to sell a lot of your stuff. So she wanted us to mess with you about it.

[Craigslist Seller]

I'm sitting here thinking, like, why the hell is Ikea calling?

[Jeffrey]

Well, because the Swedes take a lot of pride in their furniture. You're be smudging their good name.

[Craigslist Seller]

You're not wrong about that. I do know that because I saw.

[Jeffrey]

The photos that she sent us, and. Yeah, it doesn't look like it's in perfect condition, actually.

[Ryan]

You.

[Craigslist Seller]

You saw it? Yeah, but should I lower the price? It's not moving on me. I've been up for a couple weeks now.

[Jeffrey]

Well, you know, if you can't sell it, I would just go in for a one for one trade with my fajit.

[Backseat Pete]

All about done.

[Craigslist Seller]

Deal is done. Handshake.

[Jose]

Brook and Jeffrey's phone taps on the 20s.

[Announcer]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

Thanks to portrayals in the movies and media, a lot of guys assume that every woman in the world wants to be wined and dined and showered with gifts and treated with respect.

[Brooke]

That sounds great.

[Jeffrey]

Apparently, we've got it all wrong.

[Brooke]

No, wait. No, you don't.

[Jeffrey]

Because the woman on the phone today was taken on one of the most mundane, least romantic dates we've ever heard of. It required zero planning, zero effort, cost the guy virtually nothing, and he can't even be bothered to follow up with her afterwards.

[Jose]

Oh, my God.

[Jeffrey]

And despite that, she can't stop thinking about him.

[Brooke]

What? Is the bar this low?

[Jeffrey]

Ladies, gentlemen, I ask you, is this our sign that we are putting in way too much effort?

[Brooke]

That can't be.

[Jeffrey]

In our romantic pursuit?

[Brooke]

There's no way that could be true.

[Jeffrey]

We're gonna find out when you hear it. Your brand new second date update, coming up next.

[Announcer]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Jeffrey]

I know we've talked about this before, where you may have a big plan for your first date, but plans change and suddenly you're saying, oh, God, I didn't realize they remodeled this fancy steakhouse and turned it into a Chuck E. Ch. Cheese. And they got rid of the valet too.

[Leticia]

Yes.

[Brooke]

All those Chuck E. Cheese buildings definitely used to house fancy steakhouse, right?

[Jose]

At least they kept the ball pit from the steakhouse.

[Brooke]

Thank you.

[Jeffrey]

In my neighborhood, they did.

[Brooke]

And the entertainment.

[Jeffrey]

Now you've got to adjust. And apparently one of our listeners had to adjust on the fly and deal with a change of plans for her date. And she needs our help today. Her name is Aria. Aria. I'm assuming you didn't plan to call into a radio show for help with your love life either, but here you are. Welcome to the show.

[Leticia]

Thanks. Yeah, no, I did not.

[Brooke]

That's a good pivot. Can I ask, before we get into it, is it you that planned the date?

[Leticia]

No, I did not plan the date.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, okay, okay. Who planned it?

[Leticia]

Ryan, the guy was. Went out with.

[Jose]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Where'd you meet him at?

[Leticia]

So we actually met through church. We both volunteer. Like when they have events, we help put out food and things like that. And obviously we've seen each other around and. And finally he asked me out.

[Brooke]

Oh, finally. That means you were hoping for it.

[Leticia]

For a long time.

[Alexis]

Volunteering for the same area that you were going to.

[Jeffrey]

How did he do it?

[Leticia]

I mean, he just literally just asked if I wanted to go on a date. And I normally don't do this, but I did let him come pick me up at my place.

[Jeffrey]

Well.

[Brooke]

Cause you know him from church.

[Jose]

I mean, you can trust him a.

[Brooke]

Little more than random. Yeah, hopefully you can trust him.

[Leticia]

Exactly. That's what I thought. So I invited him to come inside.

[Alexis]

When he picked you up, like right away.

[Leticia]

Yes, Because I was. I was kind of frustrated at the time. I really like cooking, and I have been searching for this ingredient called Aleppo.

[Jose]

Aleppo.

[Leticia]

I don't know if you've heard of it, but it's like a. It's like a special chili spice.

[Jose]

Oh, sounds like a drug.

[Jeffrey]

I know. It sounds like one of those late night infomercials, like, ask your doctor if Aleppo is right for you.

[Leticia]

It kind of does, but I had been looking online and then trying to find if it was available at any stores, and I just wasn't having any luck. And it was for the slow cooker recipe I was trying to do for my family the next day.

[Alexis]

I want to hear about the guy scattered.

[Jeffrey]

Long story short, unless Aleppo is like some sort of aphrodisiac before the date happens, but I don't know. Maybe not.

[Leticia]

Not that I know of.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, okay. Well, good to know.

[Brooke]

So you invited in? Yeah.

[Leticia]

Yes. And he was being really sweet and he offered. He's like, well, let's go find it. He's like, I know some grocery stores in the area that has some cool stuff, so he's like, let's go check them out.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. So this must be the adjustment that you're talking about, where you had something planned and suddenly you're going out to pick up spices.

[Leticia]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Leticia]

I thought it was really sweet. I mean, so we went to, like, three different grocery stores, but we finally ended up finding it at, like, a specialty face, fancy store.

[Brooke]

Okay, there we go then. Did you finally get to go on your date?

[Leticia]

Well, so by this point, it was really late, so we just went back to my place, and we did end up making out. Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

So there was still romance, even though it was an errand run.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Leticia]

So, I mean, I felt a good connection, and we planned on definitely going on another date.

[Brooke]

It's wild that you can't get a hold of this guy. I mean, I assume that's why you're calling us because.

[Jeffrey]

Right.

[Brooke]

You volunteer with him at the same church.

[Leticia]

I just don't know what happened, you know? Like, I'm assuming he had, like, a big plan for the night and it felt through, but, I mean, he's. He was being, like, the sweetest guy.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

On a second date, he doesn't have to, like.

[Jeffrey]

But from the way that you're. The way that you just said that. Did you not know what his plan was?

[Leticia]

I did not.

[Jeffrey]

That's the thing, because there's a chance that maybe he had something really big plan, something really special, but he Feels like he never got to do it.

[Leticia]

I mean, I feel like he could have said that, you know? And I want a guy to put in that effort. Like I want them to plan something special.

[Brooke]

And so are you disappointed that he offered to take you to all those grocery stores? I'm confused.

[Leticia]

I mean, did he, like, just take me there because he had nothing planned or. I don't. I don't know.

[Jose]

There could have been a guy with a violin, like, at a park waiting for you, and you never got to get there.

[Jeffrey]

So since that happened, have you been communicating and trying to put together another date or what's happened there?

[Leticia]

Yeah, it just feels like every time we do, something's always coming up.

[Jeffrey]

Now another spice is missing and you have to do another. Another run.

[Brooke]

So you are seeing him, though?

[Leticia]

No, I haven't seen him.

[Jeffrey]

But you are trying to put something together. It's just never material into an actual meetup.

[Leticia]

Exactly. Exactly. So I don't know what's going on because I feel. I mean, I had a good time, even though I know we were just looking for spices.

[Brooke]

Okay, so you weren't disappointed that there wasn't a grander plan?

[Leticia]

I mean, if there was a grander plan, you know, I don't know that it existed because we never got to go out again, so I'd like to see it.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. I can't imagine what would be grander than a grocery store run to several different places around the city. But if he really does have something in mine, we'll find that out because we're gonna call Ryan and try and get you your second date update. Little spice on top of it.

[Jose]

I'm craving chili now.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I know. I think we're all hungry. We'll get this done right after this. Hold on.

[Announcer]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update.

[Jeffrey]

Just quick recap. If you missed part one, two people met at church, that would be our listener, Arya, and a guy named Ryan. He asked her out, but instead of doing their planned date for the night, whatever that was going to be, instead they went on a night long grocery store run all over the city, trying to find one particular spice to help Aria finish a family recipe.

[Brooke]

But you have to remember, it was his idea. It was his idea to help her out and go find this thing.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, absolutely. He was totally on board with that. But they never ended up going anywhere else except for back to Arias for a little cnk cooking and kissing.

[Brooke]

Did they cook ever? I was wondering about the food situation. Maybe he's not calling you back because he's hungry.

[Jose]

She said it was like a slow cooker. So I was like, they're not eating the chili tonight.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, whatever ended up happening, that was the last time the two of them saw each other. But we never asked. How long ago was that date? Aria?

[Leticia]

That's the thing. It's been almost two weeks now.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, that's a while.

[Brooke]

Is it so awkward right now because you were volunteering with this guy?

[Leticia]

Yeah. And it's. And that's why. I don't know, I'm weird about. Because I feel like it was a comfortable date. Like, I mean, it was good conversation. It didn't feel awkward at all.

[Brooke]

It's one of those things too, Aria, that like, when you do just normal errands with someone and can still have chemistry, that means that there could really, truly be something there.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Leticia]

Yeah, that's what I thought. And you know, and sometimes like, it's. It's timing and it's. It's like now I feel like we're losing that spark, I guess, that we have.

[Jeffrey]

You know, it'd be such a shame to have so much potential cut down by a six ounce jar of Aleppo. That just doesn't seem fair.

[Craigslist Seller]

I mean.

[Leticia]

Yeah, that's what I want to know. I mean, it just was going so.

[Jeffrey]

Good, I thought, well, let's find out. We'll see if Ryan picks up the phone. I'm going to dial his number right now. Hopefully he answers, but let's do it.

[Leticia]

Foreign.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, Ryan. Is this Ryan?

[Ryan]

Yeah, who is this?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, man. My name is Jeff from a show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Everybody's here.

[Jose]

Hey, what up, Ryan? Good morning.

[Ryan]

From a show.

[Brooke]

Yeah, radio show.

[Ryan]

Is this like a scam call? Because I. I've been getting a lot of those.

[Jose]

We prank those people.

[Brooke]

Yeah, we hate those two. Ryan.

[Jeffrey]

No. Yeah, this is not a scam called. This is a segment called A Second Date Update where we're trying to help out one of our listeners that you went out with about two weeks ago. A girl from your church named Aria.

[Ryan]

Wait, what?

[Brooke]

Yeah, that's a cute response.

[Ryan]

Why is she contacting you? We're still in touch. Like we're texting.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, she said that we got that impression from her, but what she's not understanding is what, why the two of you haven't met up a second time in the last couple weeks.

[Ryan]

I mean, it's just like a scheduling thing. Like, it's not like I haven't talked to her, you know, like, I don't know.

[Brooke]

You can't find time in the last two weeks to even just grab coffee with her.

[Leticia]

I.

[Ryan]

Okay, I got to be honest with y'.

[Brooke]

All.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, I don't like that sentence.

[Ryan]

I don't even know how to explain this, but I have. I have this feeling that I just sort of can't shake.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, can you take a pill for it or something? Can you shake it with that Aleppo?

[Brooke]

We're joking. We're joking. What's up?

[Ryan]

Well, this is gonna sound ridiculous, but I think maybe I feel kind of like I. I love her already.

[Jose]

What the heck did. Dude, I did not think you were gonna say those words. I mean, you.

[Brooke]

I will say you know her more than just one date because you guys have been volunteering together, so I don't think that that is totally insane.

[Jose]

But why Wait? Why wouldn't you call her back? She thinks you don't like her and you love her.

[Ryan]

Well, I don't know. I feel like if we go on a normal date, it's just gonna feel different.

[Brooke]

What do you mean? It's. What's gonna feel different?

[Ryan]

I'm just nervous that if we, like, go to dinner or drinks, just gonna feel different. Like, we did such a boring kind of thing. Like, I just want to go to the post office. I don't know.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, you're done with all the romantic aspects already. You want to dive right into, like, boring chores, mundane, forever love life together.

[Ryan]

I mean, I'm not saying forever, but I'm just feeling kind of stuck. And, I mean, it's funny that you called, because I think about her all the time.

[Jeffrey]

What are you doing?

[Brooke]

You need to take her out.

[Jose]

Get your girl, bro.

[Brooke]

I mean, if chores are. Are fun with her, then imagine what a great night out is with her. Like, that will just only amplify the good.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

I don't know. I just feel like I might mess that up.

[Jose]

Like.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, no.

[Ryan]

We have, like, this volunteering thing coming up, and I kind of think we should just do that.

[Jose]

Oh, God, bro, you're gonna friend zoner because it's going too well. Listen to yourself.

[Ryan]

I don't want to friend zone her. I want more. But I think this might be the past to get there.

[Brooke]

I think the path you're on will be the same, not more. It'll be the same.

[Leticia]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

Church volunteer buddy path.

[Jeffrey]

Yes.

[Jose]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Yeah. I mean, there's a lot of stuff running through my head. Like, I feel like I'm in paralysis, and I don't know what to do about it.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well, you know, I think you don't have to do anything right now. You could just stay paralyzed for the moment and let Arya do all the talking because she's on the other line waiting to jump in and speak with you.

[Ryan]

Yeah, she's here?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, right here, right now.

[Ryan]

Oh, no. Oh, no.

[Alexis]

Probably for the best.

[Brooke]

I don't know.

[Jeffrey]

She might have some nice thoughts to say to you.

[Brooke]

That's a lot of information, though, for Aria.

[Jeffrey]

Ari, are you there?

[Leticia]

Yeah, I'm here. I'm trying to take everything in.

[Ryan]

Look, I didn't know you were listening to all that, so I take it back, or take a lot of it back.

[Jeffrey]

Just Forget the last 5 minutes of your life.

[Leticia]

I don't think you can take that back. Ryan.

[Brooke]

Do you want him to take it back or did you like hearing that?

[Jose]

Good question.

[Leticia]

I. I liked hearing that. But I'm also concerned because I want that romance. I want that planned special date. And I did have fun, like I told them. I really did have fun just going grocery shopping with you. Absolutely. But there's gotta be more to it.

[Ryan]

So you want me to. You want me to move in or something?

[Jeffrey]

What is that?

[Brooke]

What?

[Jose]

You heard right.

[Brooke]

I think that's a joke. You're joking.

[Ryan]

I don't know. I'm just. I'm spitballing here. I'm. I'm. This is stressful.

[Leticia]

I mean, have you ever, like, planned a date before? I mean, just something like. I'm just asking for some kind of thought.

[Ryan]

Yeah, I mean, I planned one with you, but we went to the grocery store and then. That was way better than anything I came up with.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

What was the plan for the night?

[Jeffrey]

We don't know that it was better or worse.

[Ryan]

We were just gonna go to dinner and drinks. You know, the normal stuff.

[Jose]

That's a nice day.

[Jeffrey]

No, you're right. Grocery store shopping's better.

[Ryan]

I mean, I feel like that was what the magic, the spice was, so to speak.

[Brooke]

Are you listening to her and hearing what she needs, though, too? Like, she needs to feel special and taken care of.

[Ryan]

And that's what I was trying to do. She needed to spice, and I was trying to help her find it.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, he wants to make her feel special by, like, taking her to the pharmacy to pick up her medication and helping her, you know, organize her junk drawer in her cabinet.

[Brooke]

Those things. Those things are great. I think that any person would appreciate that. Right?

[Alexis]

Everybody needs Aaron, buddy.

[Brooke]

Yeah, but I think that she needs. She's saying, and I could be wrong, Aria, that you need a little bit more.

[Leticia]

Yeah, I Think the difference is, like, the love language here, you know? Like, I need that quality time, that special time, and he just kind of just wants to, like, do the practical help, and that just doesn't reach me as much.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jose]

Okay.

[Brooke]

That is a very clear message.

[Jeffrey]

I mean.

[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Ryan, are you hearing her?

[Ryan]

Yeah, Aria, I am hearing you. And I hear that you don't want me to help you anymore, and that's fine.

[Alexis]

That's not what she said.

[Jose]

I don't think anybody heard that but you, Brian.

[Brooke]

How could she have communicated that more clearly?

[Ryan]

My ears are clogged with love.

[Alexis]

Okay, well, he was moving in one minute ago again.

[Jeffrey]

I think there's an ointment for that you can put in your ear. But, I mean, I think you guys should probably talk about it together when you're on a date.

[Brooke]

Oh, are we gonna pay for. Pay for half their dry cleaning or pay for dinner? What do we do?

[Jeffrey]

Really up to them.

[Ryan]

Maybe we can go to dinner and I'll bring. Bring my taxes and. And you can bring your taxes and we'll do those.

[Brooke]

Could there be a less sexy sentence?

[Jose]

I mean, seriously.

[Jeffrey]

Well, normally here we'd be asking Ryan if he'd want to go out, but it sounds like. Aria, he's fully invested.

[Brooke]

He's already dropped the L bomb, for God's sake. Ears are clogged.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, he's laid it down pretty hard.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Arya, do you want to go on a date with Ryan? And if you do, we can pay for the that date.

[Leticia]

I just feel like he's already halfway to the practical side, and that worries me, but I'm willing to give it a shot.

[Brooke]

Okay. Maybe you can learn to love practical. Sounds hot.

[Jeffrey]

All right, Ryan, she has officially said yes. Kind of.

[Brooke]

Yay.

[Jeffrey]

So maybe bring a little bit of romance with you on your tax dinner date. Maybe some flowers.

[Ryan]

I will pop. Pack some romance in my pockets.

[Brooke]

Okay?

[Jeffrey]

That's where you keep your romance.

[Brooke]

Is that what's in your right pocket?

[Announcer]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

I've been thinking. We should advise more first daters to say I love you right out the gate.

[Jose]

Oh, my gosh.

[Jeffrey]

As soon as you meet up at the restaurant, hug them and whisper I love you so that you get all that awkwardness out of the way and it doesn't happen in the middle of our second date date calls because that made us uncomfortable, and that's not fair to us.

[Brooke]

She definitely didn't say it back.

[Jeffrey]

No, she didn't. No. She didn't know what to say when that came out. And that just made it awkward for everybody. Even the people listening felt cringe. Yeah.

[Brooke]

I mean, it may work out, though, in the end. It's always nice to be with someone that loves you more than you like them.

[Jose]

I guess maybe I feel like, you.

[Brooke]

Know, they won't leave you.

[Jeffrey]

I appreciate your hopeless optimism.

[Brooke]

Try to spin it in a good way.

[Jeffrey]

It is going to be tough for him to come back from, but who knows? Maybe miracles will happen.

[Brooke]

You know, she's. She's looking at a clock that she's worried about.

[Jeffrey]

So, yeah, we're hoping that by the end of the year, her ears are clogged with love, too.

[Alexis]

And they finish their taxes together.

[Brooke]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

All good things. And we want good things for you and your love life. Reach out to the show. We can call. Call that person who's not calling you back. And it's also good if you subscribe to our podcast. If you're listening. If you're listening to us on it right now.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Announcer]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

We reported on this a couple years ago when it first began, but now it's becoming kind of a bigger deal. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Brooke]

Because of us, because we talked about it. Is that why?

[Jeffrey]

That goes without saying. I don't know if anybody remembers this. I'll show you guys a picture here, and it'll be up on our Instastories. BrookeandJeffrey. But Grillo's pickles just dropped their annual pickle bouquets for Valentine's Day.

[Brooke]

It's cuter. They're pickles cuter than ever. Little pickled peppers in there.

[Jose]

I know pickled things better than ever, too.

[Brooke]

Yeah, it's very juicy. Bouquet.

[Jeffrey]

It is a DIY bouquet cake.

[Brooke]

That's right.

[Jeffrey]

Where instead of giving your special someone a beautiful floral presentation, this has got a bunch of different pickles on sticks to make a giant pickle bouquet with cherry tomatoes and mozzarella balls and cucumbers. All sorts of goodies in there.

[Brooke]

Looks great.

[Alexis]

Bouquets just make more sense.

[Jeffrey]

They attach a QR code with a video that shows you how to put it all together and make it pretty. The whole thing only costs 35 bucks.

[Jose]

You have to assemble it. Never mind. I'm late.

[Brooke]

You know, most men will just give it to women and be like, here, you're supposed to put it together. It's a fun activity.

[Jose]

Pop the jar open, start eating all.

[Jeffrey]

The pigs, but do it in the other room because I'm watching the game right now. Initially Grillo said this is kind of a quirky gag gift for people who prefer brine over bouquets.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

But they didn't realize how popular it would be.

[Jose]

Seriously, like you're like when the pickle sandwiches took over.

[Brooke]

Dude, Way to a woman's heart, man.

[Jeffrey]

And that's why this year there were enough people who love pickles where once it dropped online, it sold out instantly.

[Brooke]

What?

[Jeffrey]

Wow. Awesome.

[Jose]

Is it expensive?

[Brooke]

You can go get your own skewers and pickles, guys. I had to buy them.

[Jeffrey]

But that doesn't come with a QR video showing you how to do it.

[Brooke]

Which I'm sure you couldn't find with.

[Leticia]

A quick YouTube search.

[Jeffrey]

But yes, apparently a lot of people are upset because if you go to the website, you can't even click the order button. It just says, completely sold out. Better luck next year.

[Jose]

Oh my gosh.

[Jeffrey]

But that's what we do for our listeners. Give you the news that's just a little bit too late. So Valentine's pickle bouquets already completely sold out.

[Jose]

Sorry.

[Jeffrey]

If you wanted them, should have got to it sooner.

[Jose]

Good luck next year.

[Jeffrey]

You are welcome. Laser Stories coming up next.

[Jose]

Hello, it's Laser Stories.

[Jeffrey]

It's the radio segment that's helping men feel even more masculine with new chest hair extensions.

[Jose]

Oh.

[Jeffrey]

Now available in small, medium or horsetail length.

[Jose]

Oh, I want to braid in so hot.

[Jeffrey]

Order your chest extensions now with Laser Stories. The second where we read weird news stories around the globe just like everyone else does. Except we've got a laser. And those other follicle fabios just don't. This first laser story is out of Kannapolis, North Carolina.

[Brooke]

It sounds like you just mispronounced something.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, there's a K in it. Kannapolis. A 20 year old guy named Jasper Rispin and a 19 year old named Demario Davis broke into a rent a Center around 2 2am the other day.

[Jose]

Yeah, ain't nobody got time for that.

[Brooke]

Maybe they just had a big party and they didn't have enough tables and chairs.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, not quite Once inside and then.

[Brooke]

They were like, we're just renting.

[Jose]

We'll be right back.

[Jeffrey]

No. They walked around looking for things to steal, but could only find a single tv.

[Jose]

Wow, that's a busy rent a Center.

[Brooke]

Doesn't feel worth it, does it?

[Jeffrey]

The cops got there as they were loading it into a trunk and then the pair realized they might get caught. So they jumped into separate cars and to tried, tried to speed away, only they crashed into each other in the parking lot.

[Jose]

I Want to see the video?

[Brooke]

This is like the end of a cartoon heist.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Surprisingly, they weren't done yet.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Jeffrey]

The two quickly backed up, drove out of the parking lot, going the wrong way down a one way street and both got into separate accidents. Yes. They crashed again.

[Brooke]

Okay. Did it. And they'll fall out of the sky and land on any of them.

[Jeffrey]

It would have been next, but it was enough for the cops to catch up with them and arrest the pair.

[Brooke]

Wow. For one tv, two cars and get arrested.

[Jose]

One TV and like three car wrecks.

[Alexis]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

They are now both facing several charges, but thankfully the TV remained unharmed and was put back in the rent a center without incident.

[Jose]

Nothing happened.

[Brooke]

Do you think there's a conversation when you break into a place and it's empty and you're like, well, we're here, we might as well take something.

[Jose]

Why didn't you scout the place first? I told you to do that.

[Jeffrey]

This next laser story is out of the Bulls that are super.

[Jose]

Hey, wait a minute.

[Jeffrey]

Got around it.

[Jose]

I have a feeling this isn't about cooking.

[Jeffrey]

Sure, there is a big football game coming up this weekend, but what everyone is most excited about is what they're going to shove into their mouth holes.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jose]

So somebody give me suggestions here. I have tried to subtly ask what's on the menu to my best friend and to his wife. They won't tell me.

[Brooke]

I bet if we listen to Jeff's report, we may learn something.

[Jeffrey]

Instacart just released every state's favorite game day snack, and we do have some of the results here. Queso led in the west with Washington, Oregon, and Idaho all ordering it the most.

[Brooke]

Swim in it.

[Jeffrey]

Tortilla chips were the number one pick for more states than any other snack food. They held down Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, Louisiana, Vermont, and West Virginia.

[Brooke]

That's why these states got to get along, so the queso and the chips can go together.

[Jose]

Yeah, but what are you dipping it in?

[Brooke]

Well, it's just their number one.

[Jeffrey]

I don't know. Dry chip could hit hard. New Mexico, Colorado and Texas joined with almost all the southern states to share a love of processed cheese like Velveeta.

[Jose]

I love that.

[Brooke]

Yeah. When you put it with a can of chili.

[Jose]

Yeah, I thought that was my mom's recipe.

[Jeffrey]

For so long, chicken wings ruled Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Nevada and Utah. And then things do get a little bit weird. California and Arizona order French onion dip. Okay. As their main.

[Brooke]

I don't know, but I can smell their breath from here. Oh.

[Jose]

I mean, yeah.

[Alexis]

With like lays Chips so good with the au.

[Jose]

It is fire.

[Jeffrey]

I don't care how it comes. It's a weird game day food. Okay, South Dakota and Arkansas get down on canned diced tomatoes. Weird.

[Brooke]

Hey, pass those tomatoes over here. Do you think you put a spoon in them and just eat them or just dump them straight in your mouth?

[Jose]

Just hold tomatoes, pass the can around to other people.

[Brooke]

I mean, salsa may be more on par.

[Jeffrey]

No, it was that. The fresh stuff. No, give me the canned goodness. And Iowa was the only state where beef sausage was the number one snack food for the big game.

[Jose]

It sounds delicious.

[Brooke]

I'm down for some sounds manly is.

[Jeffrey]

What it sounds like. Yeah, let's smoke some text in 78592. Tell us what's your number one order for game day food? This next laser story is out of Japan. You ever get chills or goosebumps? Listen. Listening to music.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Scientists just zeroed in on how to make it happen.

[Brooke]

Oh, what?

[Jeffrey]

A team of researchers. They came up with a new type of headphone that tracks your brain waves and learns what gives you goosebumps. And then AI will build a playlist based on your results.

[Brooke]

Whoa.

[Alexis]

That whole playlist worth of goosebumps sounds terrible.

[Brooke]

I feel like I'm just gonna be bawling at the end of it.

[Jeffrey]

AI decides if you're truly enjoying a song or if you're just listening to it casually.

[Brooke]

Does the AI also shame you for bad music choice? Like, oh, this is what you like.

[Jeffrey]

God. Once it learns what works, it pulls from thousands of artists to build you the perfect goosebump heavy playlist.

[Brooke]

And I'm sure record companies won't be paying for them to push certain artists into your playlist.

[Jeffrey]

So they're still in the testing phase. But the big question remains. Who actually wants a playlist? Playlist of creepy, spine tingling music. And why are they spending millions of dollars to find out?

[Jose]

Yeah, that's the cool part is like, it happens randomly. It's not every freaking second.

[Jeffrey]

I don't know, Japan. You did something wrong.

[Jose]

I'm just gonna say they're too advanced.

[Jeffrey]

This final laser story is out of fast food headquarters.

[Jose]

Now we're talking.

[Jeffrey]

Here's your chance to hit McDonald's for Valentine's Day and claim that it's fancy.

[Brooke]

Really?

[Jeffrey]

Because McD's just announced a new limited run of McNugget caviar. Caviar?

[Brooke]

Is that raw nuggets?

[Jeffrey]

They're giving it away in tins next week at their website, mcnugget caviar.com.

[Brooke]

Okay. Wait, this looks like real caviar on top of a McNugget.

[Jeffrey]

That's exactly what it is.

[Brooke]

Oh, I thought it was just, like, a play on the word, you know?

[Leticia]

Yeah, it's legit.

[Jeffrey]

No, it's the real stuff. So if you don't normally like fish eggs, you're probably not gonna like this. The marketing representatives say it is just normal caviar, but they put it in a McNugget branded tin.

[Jake]

Okay.

[Jose]

If you think, like, the fish fillet is weird.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jose]

Having mixed caviar would be a little extreme.

[Brooke]

How much are you. Did they say how much this is?

[Jeffrey]

They don't put the price, but they do claim the salty, savory taste makes it a great dipping sauce.

[Jose]

I mean, caviar is good, but I don't know.

[Brooke]

That is the wrong crowd.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

McDonald's is the wrong crowd for this.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Give me queso McNuggets, and then, like.

[Jose]

Let'S get the fake cheese going.

[Jeffrey]

Well, they're not pulling the idea out of nowhere. It blew up back in 2024 after a video went viral of Rihanna trying this exact thing. She seemed to really like it.

[Jose]

I could see her doing this.

[Brooke]

She's a billionaire.

[Jose]

So at the end of the day.

[Jeffrey]

Like, probably a little higher quality caviar. There you go. But will McCaviar become a huge thing? I certainly hope so. And so does this little guy. He's used to getting his face full of tuna every day, so why not try it at McDonald's, am I right? It's what turtles eat.

[Jake]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

They're tuna eaters.

[Jose]

The girls refuse to make a sound. It's just you and me here.

[Jeffrey]

All right, well, you know everybody's gonna hate, but that's. That sound means Laser stories has come to an end for the day. We'll do it again same time on Friday. We've got a new player to the show. Her name is Leticia.

[Brooke]

Is it her birthday?

[Jeffrey]

And today is her birthday.

[Brooke]

Happy birthday. Thank you.

[Jeffrey]

And, Leticia, we have a tradition here on the show. Every time time we have a new player playing on their birthday. Brooke, guesses your age. Now, Brooke, like we've done many, many times before, you can ask two basic yes or no questions before the guess happens, so go for it.

[Brooke]

Okay. Do you have a Costco membership?

[Leticia]

Yes.

[Brooke]

Okay. And is there a car seat in your car?

[Leticia]

Does the booster seat count?

[Brooke]

Yep. Okay, I'm going to go 38.

[Jeffrey]

Leticia, was she correct?

[Leticia]

No. Try 10 years younger.

[Jose]

Why would you insult our listeners like that?

[Brooke]

I base it on My life. You just started a little younger than I did. Yeah, yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Wisdom. Already off to a really hot start in this segment. Good job. Brooke. Why don't you leave the studio before you do any more damage?

[Brooke]

You can guess my age. No, I don't want you to do.

[Jose]
