Transcript

[Brooke]

Brand new full hour for you. Right now. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Thanks for being part of the podcast. And I gotta say, iconic Jeffrey song today is iconic. I think that is the perfect word for it. You're going to love it. We're getting you in the spooky spirit for sure because we're also talking about the scariest haunted house in the entire country, which is nuts. Unbelievable. Yeah, unbelievable. Really. New phone tap and lots of fun ahead. But first, comments. What do you see, Alexis? I'm staying in the spooky spirit because Raphael said, it's funny how I feel the same about candy. But Brooke is able to make it weird. Love her. Oh, how is it weird? Okay. I think it's the amount you talk about the Halloween candy, and I just love it so much. See, I do. And I feel like this is the only month of the year that I can voice it. Yeah. You know, then it looks weird when I talk about it in April. Yeah, you know, that's a good point. This is your moment to steal it, buy it, eat it every day. That's right. That's right. All right, candy lovers, eat away as you listen to your full hour. That starts right now.

[Jeffrey]

Good morning, BJ Nations. Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Brooke]

That should not be the name that we go with.

[Alexis]

Why Brooke?

[Jeffrey]

Explain. Yeah. What's wrong with it?

[Brooke]

You know, as a person who also has the initials that. Yeah, I would just recommend it against it.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, we'll workshop the name. But we are broken Jeffrey in the Morning. And we appreciate you listening live on the radio to us right now. But you can also hit up our podcast, Spotify, Apple, wherever you listen. And it's. It is interesting how people catch us on all these different platforms.

[Brooke]

Yeah, it's so cool. We hear from people all over the world.

[Alexis]

It's amazing.

[Jeffrey]

And like our second date. Updates on YouTube right now are absolutely fire. I was looking at the view numbers for each YouTube video for the past week. 14,000, 12,000, 15,000.

[Alexis]

That's good.

[Jake]

Never mind.

[Jeffrey]

Those are Brooks weekly paycheck numbers. Still impressive, though.

[Brooke]

Daily.

[Alexis]

Oh, is that daily not hitting her bonuses.

[Brooke]

I don't know why it's not hourly. I've been working on that forever.

[Jeffrey]

You deserve it. Either way, we appreciate our YouTubers because we put all our content up there. Our awkward Tuesdays, phone tabs, closure calls. Thank God there's no videos of us playing pickleball on YouTube because we did that yesterday as a show.

[Brooke]

But it was so fun. We'd have way more views if we put that up. I know. Yeah. I'm ready to join. I'm ready for us. Start a, like, league or. How does that work? Jeff, you played while you held a beer. That needs to be footage.

[Jeffrey]

Alexis and I lost while I was holding the beer.

[Brooke]

I knew you wouldn't take that well. You were so competitive. It's incredible.

[Jeffrey]

Brooke, how would you describe your, you know, let's call it athletic prowess?

[Brooke]

I. It's a learning experience for me.

[Jeffrey]

Slow and calculated. Your athletic type.

[Brooke]

I'm fine with that.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

So much fun.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Hitting the balls over the fence into the neighbor's yard, that was fun.

[Brooke]

Listen, we're not playing to be. Be good. We're playing for enjoyment, for fun.

[Jake]

Yeah, it's like the show.

[Brooke]

I'm not trying to be, you know, Pete Sampras over here on the pickleball court. Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Anyway, if people want to play us, you can text into 78592, because we will take on anybody as long as you're 75 or older or suffer from some sort of visual or physical impairment, then you're going down, son.

[Brooke]

Maybe that's my problem. The visual part.

[Alexis]

Oh, yeah, coordination.

[Jeffrey]

Just to name one. But let's move on. We're gonna get into the shot caller question of the day and send it to. The guy blew out both his knees and both his elbows playing pickleball.

[Brooke]

Oh, medication.

[Jake]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Our digital producer, Jake.

[Jake]

Worth it. Well, today is no ordinary day, my friends. Cause it's the birthday of the man, the myth, the boy with the throat as golden as his family trust fund.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God, I forgot.

[Jake]

Our own Jeffrey Remington Octavius Dubo.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my God, it's my birthday.

[Alexis]

Happy birthday, Jeff.

[Brooke]

Why didn't we start with that? Yeah, Happy birthday, Jeff.

[Ashwin]

Oh, yeah.

[Jeffrey]

I didn't even remember.

[Jake]

Well, you've all had the pleasure of working alongside him for years. Hearing his words, feeling the mist spraying from his mouth.

[Alexis]

That's an inside thing. But you guys have no idea how.

[Jeffrey]

Well I've had the pleasure of being in him for all those years.

[Jake]

But how well do you really know your marble chested colleague? We'll find out during a special Jeffrey uncovered edition of plenty of 20.

[Alexis]

Dare I say Jeffrey Uncut?

[Jeffrey]

No, no.

[Alexis]

You are Jewish, right?

[Jake]

Don't spoil my questions.

[Jeffrey]

That would be super cut.

[Brooke]

Yeah, hold on a second.

[Alexis]

I'm never going there again.

[Jeffrey]

Here's how it works.

[Jake]

You guys say a number, one through 20. I'll give you a trivia question about the birthday boy. Just answer it correctly to stay in the game. And avoid getting shocked. We'll start with the woman who bought Jeff a birthday Starbucks but accidentally drank it herself. Oh, yeah, that's Alexis.

[Brooke]

It's the thought that counts.

[Alexis]

It could happen.

[Brooke]

Nine.

[Jake]

Number nine. Alexis. What is Jeffrey's middle name? Is it David, Daniel, or Darwin?

[Brooke]

Darwin. Jeffrey Darwin deboe. David Jeffrey David debeau. Jeffrey Daniel debeau. If it's David, Sorry. Daniel sounds better. So I'm gonna go Daniel.

[Jake]

You're going Daniel?

[Brooke]

Yep.

[Jeffrey]

My parents take a huge compliment to Daniel. Sounds better.

[Brooke]

It does? Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

I was supposed to be named Daniel.

[Brooke]

That was your first name.

[Jeffrey]

That was their first choice.

[Brooke]

Had you ever been so much cooler?

[Jeffrey]

Ye. There was a baby born right before me in the hospital, and they were like, that's a Daniel. Let's give that other kid some other name.

[Caller/Karen]

Jeff.

[Jake]

That's how naming babies works. Brooke, it's your turn. Nine is off the board.

[Brooke]

Okay, give me Jeffrey's favorite number. 17.

[Jake]

Acknowledgement of the favorite number.

[Brooke]

Brooke.

[Jake]

Jeffrey got his first celebrity crush back in middle school.

[Brooke]

Oh, God.

[Jake]

Here are your possible options for who that was. Was it Betty White?

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jake]

Martha Stewart?

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jake]

Meryl Streep? Bjork. Amanda by Whoopi Goldberg. Jewish last name. Or Hillary Duff.

[Jeffrey]

Oh.

[Alexis]

Oh, man.

[Jeffrey]

I have a type. I will say.

[Brooke]

I know he does have some mommy issues. I'm gonna take all the older ladies off the board. Okay.

[Alexis]

Or is that why he'd want.

[Brooke]

I think it's either Hillary Duff or it's Amanda Bynes.

[Jake]

Are you ruling out Bjork?

[Brooke]

I am.

[Jake]

Wow.

[Brooke]

I bet he was in love with Hillary Duff.

[Alexis]

Yeah, we all were, bro. Yeah, it definitely has to be heard.

[Jake]

Brooke says Jeffrey's crush in middle school was Hillary Duff. Yeah, you can't get enough of that wonderful dove.

[Alexis]

She's still so gorgeous, too.

[Jake]

We're two for two. Jose, we're over to you.

[Alexis]

Let's go. Number eight.

[Jake]

Jose. Jeffrey's very first family pet was a black Labrador. Was his name Chamberlain? Reginald. Margot with an X. Beaumont. Alistair.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my God.

[Jake]

Percival.

[Brooke]

Oh, what the Whitmore.

[Alexis]

Oh, God. I'm not gonna remember any of these.

[Jake]

Or Bosco.

[Brooke]

That is such a rich family.

[Jeffrey]

All of the above.

[Brooke]

All of.

[Alexis]

Only because I feel like there was one time Jeff and I had a talk, and I heard him say the name Bosco.

[Brooke]

Oh, I. I feel like I've heard it, too.

[Alexis]

Give me Bosco.

[Jake]

Bosco.

[Caller/Karen]

Yes.

[Alexis]

My best friend.

[Jake]

We're three for. Three for the birthday boy. And that means we're going to a final question. As the consensus for the room. Jose And Alexis, we work together, so.

[Jeffrey]

You all know me so well.

[Jake]

We don't have calculators to do numbers that high. So for Brooke, Jose, and Alexis, here's your question. If Jeffrey could have a walk on song to enter the studio, would he pick Here Comes the Hot Stepper? It's Raining Men, I'm Too Sexy or Heard it through the Grapevine?

[Brooke]

Heard it through the grapevine.

[Alexis]

I'm gonna vote I'm too sexy.

[Brooke]

What's our other options?

[Jake]

It's Raining Men or Heard it through the Grapevine?

[Brooke]

Oh, it's Raining Men. I think. I don't know. What do you guys think? I think we choose that one for Jeff. I don't know if he chooses it, but maybe since we choose it, we all go with it.

[Jeffrey]

I don't know.

[Alexis]

I still think it's too sexy.

[Brooke]

Okay, we can do too sexy because he's manly. All right, Wright said Jeffrey.

[Jake]

They say I'm too sexy. Be Jeffrey's walk on song.

[Alexis]

That is incorrect.

[Jeffrey]

You guys flatter me.

[Jake]

It's actually none of the above. It's the Jewish Havana Gila song.

[Alexis]

Which.

[Jake]

Means Jeffrey has won his own birthday edition of plenty of 20.

[Jeffrey]

So does that. I get to choose who gets shocked. And I think all three of you should serenade me at the same time. Okay. By singing the birthday song while lifting me up on a chair Hava Nagila style.

[Brooke]

Okay. Happy birthday to you.

[Alexis]

Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Jeffrey. Happy birthday to you.

[Jeffrey]

Hilary Duff would have sang it better. Just saying that is your shot caller. Question of the day. Happy birthday to me.

[Alexis]

Hillary Duff, if you're listening, text in.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, please.

[Alexis]

My boy wants to talk to you.

[Jeffrey]

We're gonna do a phone tap right after this.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

Who wants to put the wee in Halloween?

[Ashwin]

Yeah.

[Jake]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

That's wee with 17 E's, by the way.

[Alexis]

And no H's, by the way. We've had a whole controversy in my stream about this.

[Jeffrey]

That's right, it's Brooke and Jeffrey. Morning. Cause you look around and haunted houses are in full effect. People are decorating their lawns. We've got spooky corn mazes. All of it's going on right now. And so are giant pumpkin contests.

[Alexis]

Oh, yeah.

[Brooke]

Where they've grown so big you can't.

[Jeffrey]

Do anything with them except weigh em. Yeah, I'm gonna show you a picture here and it'll be up on our insta stories. BrookeandJeffrey. But the guy who grew it, Brandon Dawson, is a manufacturing engineer from Santa Rosa. California. He just took home top Prize in the 52nd annual championship Pumpkin weigh off. Here's the photo of Brandon with his massive pumpkin. Any guesses for how much this bad boy weighs?

[Brooke]

I don't want to ruin it for you.

[Jeffrey]

I'm talking about the pumpkin, Jose, not the guy.

[Brooke]

You handed us a picture that shows the scale with the. The.

[Jeffrey]

Without looking at the numbers on the scale.

[Jake]

11 pounds.

[Brooke]

Let me guess. 2, 3, 4, 6 pounds.

[Alexis]

That's exactly right. It's 2, 4, 3, 6.

[Jeffrey]

2, 3, 4, six pounds. And it is sweet justice for Brandon because last year his giant Pumpkin was over 2000, but came in second place to a dude that was six pounds heavier.

[Brooke]

This is pumpkin revenge.

[Jeffrey]

And his prize. They give him $9 per pound.

[Brooke]

Dude.

[Jeffrey]

Which Alexis, do the math.

[Caller/Karen]

A lot of money.

[Alexis]

That's right.

[Caller/Karen]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Just over $21,000.

[Brooke]

Exactly what I was gonna say. That is so cool. I really want them to start hollowing these out and just making him a jack o lantern. You could walk inside it.

[Alexis]

Yeah, that would be so smelly.

[Jeffrey]

Brandon's secret on how he did it, how he got the pumpkin so big. Pumpkin steroids, Brandon said. Water, a little bit of fertilizer.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

And then he did a big wink into the camera.

[Alexis]

So that just.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, seems legit to me.

[Brooke]

Love.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. No pumpkin juicing going on in Santa Rosa, but I probably wouldn't need it either, just to be safe. But head over to our Instagram if you want to see the picture. And more incredible content from us Laser stories is coming up right after this.

[Alexis]

Hello, it's Laser Stories.

[Jeffrey]

It's the radio segment that's helping you get excited to brush your teeth with taco sauce toothpaste.

[Brooke]

Damn, that sounds awful.

[Jeffrey]

It comes in mild, spicy and atomic mouth fiesta.

[Brooke]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

So set your gums on fire with laser stories.

[Brooke]

Very fresh breath segment where we read.

[Jeffrey]

Weird news stories around the globe just like everyone else does. Except we've got a laser. Those other dental Diablos just don't. This first laser story is out of California. You've probably heard about people being caught using novelty license plates or ones that were altered or faked.

[Brooke]

Oh, okay. Like after you steal a car?

[Jeffrey]

Uh, no, no, no. Just like weird ones that aren't, like, technically allowed to be used.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Alexis]

By your own.

[Jeffrey]

This is new. The California Highway Patrol stopped a driver earlier this month who had an elaborate hand drawn plate.

[Brooke]

Oh, okay. That's not sketchy at all.

[Alexis]

How do you even see it?

[Jeffrey]

They tried to make it look legit by mimicking the actual California script font. At the top. And it included a representation of the registration sticker and the dmv' down at the bottom.

[Brooke]

I get it. They didn't want to pay the fees for a real license plate. I see. I see in somebody's cousins. Like, man, I can do it.

[Jeffrey]

According to the deputy, the weird thing was the plate number and tags were totally legit.

[Brooke]

Wait, what? It was actually their plate number and tag.

[Jeffrey]

The number was valid.

[Alexis]

Oh. So when they ran the plates, it.

[Jeffrey]

Was legit, but the driver said they'd lost their actual plate and were just trying to stay compliant. Must have like fallen. It must have fall off at some point. And they were like, oh, I don't want to get a new one.

[Brooke]

Hank, why did you only put one screw in that license plate when you put it on?

[Jeffrey]

The officer said the driver got points for creativity, but they still received a fine of $197, which is more than five times the cost of getting a new plate that they could have ordered through the DMV for just 27 bucks.

[Brooke]

Oh, man, I don't think they should have got a ticket. They should have got a forever. Yeah.

[Alexis]

Warning man.

[Jeffrey]

His next laser short. He's out of courier's corner.

[Brooke]

Boo. Sorry.

[Alexis]

I felt appropriate.

[Brooke]

I don't know. It's just male people, I think. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Well, if you order a pizza, are you ever worried about missing the delivery because you fell asleep?

[Brooke]

No.

[Alexis]

Dude, I've done that once. I was drunk and I missed it. It was awful.

[Brooke]

I've never fallen asleep when I was hungry.

[Alexis]

No, I was wasted and I ordered food and I woke up and I'm like, no. And it was at the door.

[Jeffrey]

If you said no, then you're probably not a college student.

[Jake]

Students.

[Jeffrey]

Cuz Grubhub says 72% of students have missed a late night delivery order sometime in their college career.

[Brooke]

Yeah, okay, the late night isn't cuz they fell asleep. It's because they're drunk like Jose said.

[Jeffrey]

Well, it could be that they. They nodded off studying or were so drunk that they forgot that they even ordered it. So because of that fact, GrubHub is now coming out with something they call snooze insurance.

[Alexis]

Double rainbow. Oh my God.

[Brooke]

So if you're a little sleepy while you order, you just hit that and then you don't have to pay for it.

[Jeffrey]

No. You basically sign up ahead of time. Where if you're a GrubHub plus student member, they're offering a makeup meal to replace the one you slept through in order to take advantage of it. You have to apply for a code over the next few weeks which will provide 15 off any future do over meal.

[Brooke]

Okay, Can I just.

[Alexis]

That's kind of nice.

[Brooke]

Maybe I could pretend. Pretend to be asleep. Take the pizza.

[Alexis]

Your hand is out, bro. Give it to me.

[Jeffrey]

Experts say it's basically just a marketing gimmick to advertise their student membership accounts, which are free to join if you're enrolled at participating schools.

[Brooke]

That's cool.

[Jeffrey]

Still, many college kids applaud the idea. One commented saying he passed out on three separate occasions last month alone, only to wake up and find his food was either cold or mutual missing.

[Alexis]

Oh, man. Somebody else took it.

[Brooke]

I feel like three times means you're the problem. Totally.

[Caller/Karen]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

But once in my whole life.

[Jeffrey]

He says it's about time Grubhub finally does something to fix this issue. Blame it on Grubhub. This next laser story is out of the cider circle. Okay, if anyone wants to know the difference between the life of influencers and the life of normal people, well, here's your case study. There's apparently a new trend of people taking carved out mini pumpkins to Starbucks and having the baristas fill them with the drink that they order.

[Ashwin]

Oh, my gosh.

[Brooke]

Stop it.

[Jeffrey]

The idea, because Starbucks normally lets people bring their own mug and they'll fill that up. So why not celebrate? Fall by using a hollowed out pumpkin.

[Brooke]

As your mug so that you could then take a picture of your pumpkin spice latte in a pumpkin.

[Alexis]

It tastes like pumpkin, though.

[Brooke]

Like and like.

[Jeffrey]

So some baristas have heard of the trend and they're willing to do it. Some are even enthusiastic about it it. But workers who've not heard of it are skeptical and they'll just give the customer an actual coffee cup so that they can pour it into their pumpkin themselves.

[Jake]

You suck.

[Brooke]

Yeah, you do it then they're wasting the cup, though. I mean, you might as well just skip it. Can I bring a bread bowl? Places, you know, like maybe a gas station and fill it up with like that fake cheese that they always. I didn't know where you were going.

[Alexis]

Yeah, I thought you're gonna go slushy.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, it's a sad day when you walk into a gas station with a bread bowl and be like, help me out.

[Brooke]

Yeah, it sounds pretty good though, doesn't it?

[Alexis]

Look over there and run to the nacho machine. Nacho cheese.

[Jeffrey]

Interestingly enough, the majority of commenters are asking people to please not do this because it slows the entire line of orders down. In any event. If you want to try it, Alexis, there's nothing wrong with asking nicely to see if the they're cool with doing it. There's probably very little taste difference. Also, it's just something to do if you're willing to buy a pumpkin to use for a cool little social media post.

[Brooke]

Someone's gonna mess up and bring a full size pumpkin in instead of one of those mini ones.

[Jeffrey]

This next laser story is out of Halloween headquarters. Recently, a popular sports betting site crunched the numbers to find the odds of each type of candy landing in your kid's Halloween bucket.

[Brooke]

Oh, my gosh.

[Jeffrey]

And they did this by taking stats from Instacart, Doordash, and other candy sellers. And here's what they Brook's favorite Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. You got a 67 chance of finding at least one in your bag. I would have thought 99. If your kid doesn't deliver at least one peanut butter cup to your face.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Then they have officially failed Halloween.

[Brooke]

Do you know what's amazing? My kids don't like them.

[Alexis]

No way. I've never heard of anyone.

[Brooke]

I get them all.

[Jeffrey]

They're not your kids. They're biologically not your children. Second most popular is peanut M M's at 65. Oh, yeah, regular M M's are next at 62. Kit Kats at 60, and then Snickers at 58. The top non chocolate candy with Sour Patch Kids. 55 chance of one of those ending up in your kid's bag.

[Brooke]

Nerd clusters are coming up. Yeah, that's what all the kids want.

[Alexis]

They're so good.

[Jeffrey]

They also look at three more things your kid might not enjoy getting. There's a 2% chance they'll get a toothbrush. A 4% chance they'll get a box of raisins. Oh, gosh. And a 23% chance of finding some candy corn.

[Ashwin]

No.

[Alexis]

People still give it out.

[Brooke]

Dude, we got some Halloween fruit snacks this year to hand out.

[Alexis]

Oh, interesting.

[Brooke]

My son picked him out.

[Alexis]

He's like, those are cool, Mom. I like them.

[Jeffrey]

Well, as for this guy, he doesn't even know if he'll get to trick or treat this year. He's still counting his candy from 2016. He's a little slow, but you know he'll get around to it. That sound. These laser stories has come to an end for the day. We'll do it again same time on Monday.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

When you think Halloween scary, do you picture mummies and witches and vampires with a little bit of fake blood? Dripping down their lip.

[Brooke]

I love it. Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt. The vampire.

[Alexis]

Yeah, it wasn't that scary to me.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, I don't think you have any idea what scary really is. Cause there's a haunted house that's making the news today, and you're not gonna believe what they have inside and what it takes physically in order to go through.

[Brooke]

Oh, my gosh.

[Jeffrey]

Frankly, I don't know how this is even legal.

[Brooke]

You mean Frankenstein. But no.

[Alexis]

Frankenstein.

[Jake]

Lee.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, God. I will say it's been going for years, and the wait list to get inside is insane. We are going to tell you about the craziest haunted experience in America coming up right after this for Halloween. That holiday means different things to different people.

[Brooke]

Yeah, for sure.

[Jeffrey]

It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Like, for the Brooks of the world, it's all about the candy and wearing the most obscure costumes that nobody really understands what you're trying to be.

[Brooke]

Dude, I've been doing it since a child, okay? Third grade, when I went as Baby Jane.

[Jeffrey]

Wow.

[Brooke]

The real ones know. Okay, I'm not.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I'm not gonna ask you to explain it because I'm sure we won't get it. But I do remember in 2016, she wore a pig costume with a Switzerland flag cape. Get it? Ham and Swiss, you guys. Classic Brook.

[Brooke]

I didn't go that well.

[Jeffrey]

That's just what Brooke does. But for others, it's an excuse to dress as sexy as possible to work and be able to get away with it.

[Alexis]

Okay, my hand is raised.

[Brooke]

Okay, you guys are boring.

[Jeffrey]

For the rest, Halloween is an exercise in creating the worst, most horrific scenes of blood and suffering straight out of your scariest supernatural nightmares.

[Alexis]

Oh, my God.

[Brooke]

Are we talking about, like, lawn decor right now?

[Jeffrey]

Cuz this is goes way beyond on just lawn decor, okay? It's why one haunted house is in the news today. Because it's been dubbed the most terrifying scare experience in the country. Dude, so what makes it that. Well, first of all, it's several giant warehouses all connected to each other.

[Alexis]

No way. Heck no. More bigger than usual.

[Jeffrey]

It's full of traps and trip wires and multiple exits for you to run out screaming to your mom.

[Brooke]

Me? Okay.

[Alexis]

Oh, man. Emergency exit.

[Brooke]

This is someone's house. You said warehouses.

[Jeffrey]

Warehouses.

[Brooke]

Sorry.

[Alexis]

Brooke owns several warehouses.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, shoot.

[Alexis]

Is it a convention warehouse like mine?

[Brooke]

I didn't understand that.

[Jeffrey]

Like a men's warehouse.

[Brooke]

Suits.

[Alexis]

Suits everywhere. That'd be hilarious.

[Jeffrey]

But no, You. You probably want to know how is it any different than just a normal Haunted house.

[Alexis]

Way bigger.

[Jeffrey]

Sounds bigger, but it can't be that small.

[Brooke]

Scary, right? Yeah. And they have those ones already where people can go touch you, you know, and like grab you and stuff.

[Jeffrey]

I will say this one has a 40 page long waiver that you have to sign.

[Brooke]

Never good. Never good.

[Jeffrey]

It basically says you give them consent to do whatever to you.

[Alexis]

You gotta send that to a lawyer first.

[Jeffrey]

That includes touching, hitting, beating, Minor stabbing, not major. Okay, I'm kidding about the stabbing. But honestly I wouldn't put it past them because they do say you might be exposed to physical and psychological torture. What with risks such as having your teeth extracted, being tattooed or your fingernails being removed.

[Brooke]

Did you say that?

[Alexis]

Oh, fingernails. I don't mess a fingernail.

[Brooke]

Trusting the employees that are doing this to you. What is wrong with, with this country that people are so starved for an adrenaline rush that they need to go get their fingernails out?

[Jeffrey]

That's the crazy thing.

[Alexis]

That's true.

[Jeffrey]

Even with all those warnings, people are still actually signing up to do it.

[Brooke]

You guys are sick.

[Jeffrey]

You're allowed to go in as long as you present a doctor's note, a background check. You have to pass a drug test.

[Alexis]

Okay? No way.

[Jeffrey]

Comply with the rules which include no swearing.

[Brooke]

What? Yeah, right.

[Jeffrey]

I am swearing if someone's removing my fingernails. A curse word. One curse word.

[Alexis]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

It is your Jeff.

[Alexis]

Good golly oh, Jiminy Christmas. Oh gee.

[Caller/Karen]

Wow.

[Brooke]

A zombie punches you in the face and you just supposed to hold your tongue.

[Alexis]

Crimini gosh. My fingernails.

[Jeffrey]

Now the other really interesting part of this is, let's say you book a time to go through it at like nine o' clock at night.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

You have to arrive there at around 6:30. What the heck. So that you can watch a two hour documentary on the experience just to prepare you for what's about to happen.

[Alexis]

Wow.

[Brooke]

And you're telling me people are volunteering to spend their time this way?

[Alexis]

Actually see this, I would never obviously do this, but I. People that are like, like real seekers, they almost want to be murdered.

[Jeffrey]

And this has been going on Just giving you the history of this. This has been happening since 1989.

[Brooke]

What? And we're just now hearing about it here, is that cuz no one survived to tell the tale?

[Jeffrey]

Actually yeah, I'll get to that in a second. But in the past, guests have stated that they were not allowed to leave physically.

[Brooke]

What?

[Jeffrey]

Since the mid-90s, the house management has reluctantly implemented safe words. Although some guests say the people inside ignore them.

[Jake]

Oh.

[Alexis]

Legally on paper, they have to have It.

[Jeffrey]

And did I tell you how long it is, too?

[Brooke]

How long the haunted house experience is? Well, the video leading up to it is two hours.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. And like, a normal haunted house lasts about what, five, five to ten minutes?

[Brooke]

85 minutes.

[Alexis]

It feels long, but it's five minutes.

[Jeffrey]

This one. Eight to ten hours. Inside hours.

[Brooke]

That's you sign up for maybe getting a tattoo. I mean, that's a few hours. Yeah, right there.

[Jeffrey]

That's true.

[Brooke]

So you enter it 9. 9pm and you're not done until 6, 5 8, 5am if they let you.

[Jeffrey]

Out and you don't swear, you're like.

[Brooke]

Sorry, I didn't make it to work today. I was at the haunted house.

[Jeffrey]

They say so far, no one has reached the very end before.

[Brooke]

What?

[Alexis]

No. Okay.

[Brooke]

That's the. That's the key. Where even me inside went, well, maybe I could do it. I'm so competitive.

[Jeffrey]

Even Olympic sprinters have tried to just run through the entire thing. Didn't you make it? And is it possible the reason is because some guests have been waterboarded?

[Brooke]

What?

[Alexis]

Because torture, Jeff.

[Jeffrey]

That is true. That happened.

[Brooke]

That's illegal.

[Jeffrey]

But you sign a waiver saying you can't. Or is it because they were forced to eat and drink unknown substances and then were bound and gagged and sometimes drugged unknown substances.

[Alexis]

Like.

[Brooke]

I don't know.

[Jeffrey]

I don't know. That sounds kind of part. Sounds a little fun.

[Brooke]

Yeah. I was gonna say it does sound like a fraternity hazing.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Yeah. Bring me back to the good old days. But like I said, still, despite all this, people want to try it. In fact, the wait list to get in currently is at 27, 000 people.

[Alexis]

What is wild?

[Brooke]

I never want to run into one of those 27,000 people.

[Jeffrey]

I will say they only take 50 participants a year.

[Brooke]

How much must this cost for them to, like, put this all together and they only give out 50 tickets, and.

[Alexis]

They'Re paying people eight hours a night. That's expensive.

[Brooke]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

The guy who's putting it on, his name is Ruff Russ, whose ex wife describes him as a, quote, dangerous predator who enjoys torturing people. But it's his ex wife. Any ex wife would say, we really.

[Alexis]

Just read that like it's normal.

[Jeffrey]

So just keep that in mind before you go and sign up and fill out your application form.

[Brooke]

I'm gonna say, hell no, Russ.

[Alexis]

Yeah, okay.

[Jeffrey]

But maybe. Maybe it's gotten better since the early 90s, I would assume.

[Brooke]

Did you hear the quote from his ex wife? You watch out for Russes on the dating apps. Because that means this man's single and out there.

[Alexis]

Has he gone through therapy and grown?

[Jeffrey]

That's possible.

[Alexis]

So now it's like a happy experience.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. So I will say many people in line did witness a woman being dragged screaming out of a van as part of her experience.

[Jake]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

But they didn't get out of line. They stayed.

[Alexis]

She didn't swear.

[Jeffrey]

She didn't swear. And, yeah, I don't even want to say the name of this haunted experience. It is in San Diego, though. And you can go find the link to it up on our Insta Stories. Apple, Brooke, and Jeffrey right now if you want to go check it out.

[Alexis]

Everyone's Googling San Diego Haunted house right now.

[Brooke]

It's called Sick in San Diego.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. So that is the most terrifying haunted experience you could find in America today.

[Brooke]

I didn't even like discussing it. It creeped me out.

[Jeffrey]

Now let's move on. We're going to do your phone tap right after this. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and it's time for your prank phone call. And today we reach out to a woman who's frustrated over her missing package.

[Alexis]

But, yeah, that does make you mad.

[Brooke]

I agree.

[Alexis]

Anybody?

[Jeffrey]

I do have some good news for her, though. The package is near her place.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's great.

[Jeffrey]

Very, very near. Yeah, the only thing holding her back from getting it is two short words. Oh, you're gonna find out what I'm talking about in your phone tab. Right now.

[Brooke]

It's another phone tab.

[Caller/Karen]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Hi, this is Kirby Tumwater. I'm calling from Amazon. Is this Karen?

[Caller/Karen]

Oh, wow.

[Ashwin]

Amazon.

[Caller/Karen]

I never. Yeah, I know.

[Jeffrey]

I'm sorry. We received a message through our chat bot saying you were having an issue with one of your packages.

[Caller/Karen]

Yeah, for my cat.

[Jeffrey]

Right. I'm looking at your order right here. It says that you purchased a five pound bag of kitty litter along with the kitty toy. Is that the order that you're talking about?

[Caller/Karen]

Yeah, it was supposed to be delivered yesterday. I went outside and it wasn't there.

[Jeffrey]

I see.

[Caller/Karen]

Okay, you know what? Wait, sir, wait. Let me. Let me just go out and check again. Okay?

[Jeffrey]

Okay, you can do that. Let me look some stuff up on my end, too.

[Caller/Karen]

Okay. No, no, you're not seeing anything.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Caller/Karen]

No, no.

[Ashwin]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

I'm just looking this up for you.

[Caller/Karen]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, okay. Hey, well, good news. It says the package did arrive.

[Caller/Karen]

But I just told you I looked and it's not there.

[Jeffrey]

Right? Yes, I think I see what's going on. The reason you're not seeing it is because it's through our new drone delivery service.

[Caller/Karen]

Did you say drone?

[Jeffrey]

That's right. We delivered it via Robin.

[Caller/Karen]

I don't know who Robin is. No, sir, no, it's just.

[Jeffrey]

Ma', am, it's not who. It's what Robin is. Our new drone delivery system, it's state of the art.

[Caller/Karen]

Okay, well, I don't care how state of the art is. I'm telling you, sir, I didn't receive the toy for my cat.

[Jeffrey]

I hear you. The thing is, Robin is there. Actually been waiting for you since yesterday. Oh.

[Caller/Karen]

Where is the package?

[Jeffrey]

Up in the air. Up in the air right now, above your property.

[Caller/Karen]

What?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, he just needs you to come outside to formally receive the package from him.

[Caller/Karen]

Okay, how am I supposed to do that?

[Jeffrey]

Real easy. So can you just walk outside for us real quick?

[Caller/Karen]

I just was outside.

[Jeffrey]

Well, I need you to go back again.

[Caller/Karen]

This is ridiculous.

[Jeffrey]

I'm sorry, ma'.

[Ashwin]

Am.

[Jeffrey]

We apologize for the inconvenience.

[Caller/Karen]

Okay, I'm outside, and I'm telling you, I don't see anything.

[Jeffrey]

Well, right, because he's high up in the air. He's waiting to hear from you. So just put your right hand up in the air and loudly say, hi, Robin.

[Caller/Karen]

I'm not doing that. No, I'm not.

[Jeffrey]

Well, then he won't be able to locate you.

[Caller/Karen]

Hi, Robin. I said it. I feel like an idiot. There's nothing there.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. Okay. Now, I'm gonna continue to troubleshoot this with you. I should ask, though, by the way, are you wearing a helmet?

[Caller/Karen]

Why would I need to even wear a helmet?

[Jeffrey]

It's just we did have an incident with a church group in Virginia recently who was dive bombed by a rogue drone delivering Bibles.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Caller/Karen]

Okay. You know what?

[Jeffrey]

You're probably fine, though.

[Caller/Karen]

I want. I want to speak to your manager.

[Jeffrey]

Absolutely, ma'.

[Alexis]

Am.

[Jeffrey]

I'll do that right away. We just have to try one more thing.

[Caller/Karen]

What is it?

[Jeffrey]

Since the kitty litter was made in China, it could be looking for a Chinese response. So just give me a great big Nihau.

[Caller/Karen]

Me how.

[Ashwin]

I did it.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, you didn't say Robin.

[Caller/Karen]

People are looking at me right now like I'm crazy.

[Jeffrey]

But you're not, ma'.

[Alexis]

Am.

[Jeffrey]

You're just waiting for Robin to bring you your items. You can tell them that.

[Caller/Karen]

Nihau Robin. Nihau Robin. Nihau Robin. Are you happy? I've made a fool of myself. I still have no kitty, Lyta. I still have no toy.

[Jeffrey]

Ma', am, I am not happy. But I think maybe your husband Bob Is because I should probably tell you, Karen, you're actually on the radio right now with a show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. My name is Jeff. And your husband set you up for a phone tag out. I am so sorry.

[Caller/Karen]

I'm gonna kill him. Yeah, I'm gonna kill him.

[Jeffrey]

Well, he just wanted to mess with you. He told us that your Amazon order didn't arrive on the day it said it would, so he thought we could mess with you.

[Caller/Karen]

Calling me a worry war.

[Jeffrey]

Karen, I gotta say thank you so much for being a good sport here. Can I just get one more big knee?

[Alexis]

How?

[Jeffrey]

Before we leave. You forgot Robin again. You forgot to say Robin.

[Brooke]

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

[Jeffrey]

It's the classic phrase you always hear. Oh, I normally never do this on a first date.

[Brooke]

It always means that you always do that.

[Alexis]

Then why are you so good at it?

[Jeffrey]

As they walk out of the exhibit at the botanical garden. Cause the nearby porta potty's broken. I swear this never happens to me. What the heck? By the way, can I borrow a leaf real quick?

[Alexis]

What? You.

[Jeffrey]

In today's call, we had one of the those moments where somebody says, I normally never would do this, but oh, boy, did they. You're gonna find out what it was in your brand new second date update. Next second date update. When your date plans change at the very last second, not by your choice, but because of like an unforeseen obstacle with the venue.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Like the baseball game got rained out.

[Ashwin]

Oh, yeah.

[Alexis]

You can't control that.

[Jeffrey]

The KFC ran out of chicken.

[Alexis]

That doesn't happen.

[Jeffrey]

What's your move like, how do you respond? You could instantly give up right there and say, no, I'm not doing this. I'll FaceTime you from my bubble bath. But I don't pivot on the fly.

[Brooke]

Yeah, be flexible, Jeff.

[Jake]

Come on.

[Brooke]

Be spontaneous.

[Jeffrey]

That is the other option. Shake it up. Do something new. And apparently that's what one of our listeners, Sierra, had to do recently on her day. And I'm curious what that looked like. So, Ciara, welcome to the show.

[Caller/Karen]

Hi.

[Brooke]

Hey. You sound like a go with the flow type of person.

[Caller/Karen]

I try.

[Alexis]

You sound like a baseball in the rain kind of lady, Stephanie.

[Brooke]

That's good.

[Jeffrey]

Sorry to hear that your date plans crash, but tell us what happened.

[Caller/Karen]

So I met this guy Ashwin on a dating app.

[Brooke]

Oh, he sounds fancy and rich. His name is Ashwin.

[Alexis]

It's so fancy, I don't even know.

[Jeffrey]

How to spell that.

[Brooke]

Yes.

[Caller/Karen]

Not gonna lie, the name intrigued me. But what I really liked the most was he was funny, which is so important, but he was also playful. Like, he was kind of saucy, but not disrespectful.

[Brooke]

You know what I mean?

[Alexis]

Rosy, a little bit, but, like, totally joking.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, it's like talking to your grandpa, but 60 years ago.

[Alexis]

No, Jeff, not at all. No one can erase that.

[Jeffrey]

Everybody has a grumpy grandpa who likes to poke fun at them, Right?

[Brooke]

Not grumpy. Yes. He's not an old man.

[Alexis]

He's playful, flirty.

[Jeffrey]

His name is Ashwin. He sounds like a grandpa.

[Brooke]

Okay, you got us there, Jeff. But the rest of us, you lost us on.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well, we all have different images of what Ashwin is, but what was the plan for the date?

[Caller/Karen]

Well, you know, I'm happy to say that wasn't my first impression. I liked him. I liked him enough to say yes to a date with him. And I think that he was kind of trying to impress me, which obviously is fine with me. Like, he had made rooftop bar reservations at this, like, trendy place.

[Alexis]

Rooftop bars are always good.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

You've never been to a rooftop bar? That's, like, not cool.

[Brooke]

It's true.

[Alexis]

It's on a roof.

[Brooke]

I don't know why?

[Jeffrey]

You know what I mean?

[Brooke]

Like, you put them in a basement. Not awesome.

[Alexis]

Yeah, that's a dive bar.

[Brooke]

But on a roof, so it means something.

[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, so you sound like you're excited to get some rooftop drinks.

[Caller/Karen]

Oh, I was so excited. I love this kind of thing. And he seemed exactly like his profile. He was super cute, super nice, funny, Everything that I was hoping. We go up the elevator, and the guy at the door said he was so sorry, but the whole place was closed for, like, some kind of a cryptocurrency event.

[Brooke]

Oh, God.

[Jeffrey]

I'm sorry.

[Jake]

Brooke.

[Alexis]

Brooke isn't mad. They're closed. It's the crypto thing.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I know.

[Caller/Karen]

I was so mad.

[Jeffrey]

People who could afford to rent out an entire rooftop.

[Brooke]

I just picture a bunch of dudes with receding hairlines and telling each other the same thing in puffer vests.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Careful, you're turning Alexis on, too.

[Brooke]

Even I draw the line. Crypto.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, no, but that's. What a bummer. Your whole plan for the night just got totally ruined.

[Caller/Karen]

Yeah, I mean, it was really disappointing. And I could see that Ashlyn looked so disappointed. Like, you know, that shows you he.

[Alexis]

Was excited for the day, too.

[Jeffrey]

So what did you do?

[Caller/Karen]

So I just said, screw it. Let's Take a walk. I'm not wearing the greatest shoes for it, but I just really wanted to spend time with him at that point. So we walked down the street and we walked and talked for a while, and we just kind of ended up at this old. Like, it was just like a diner, like a normal, you know.

[Ashwin]

Okay. Okay.

[Caller/Karen]

It wasn't like a cute, like, oh, we're trying to be retro diner. It looked like it had just been there for, like, 70 years.

[Alexis]

You went from, like, Nobu to the Waffle House.

[Brooke]

Yeah, the grease trap hasn't been cleaned in at least two years.

[Alexis]

But that's why the food tastes so good.

[Caller/Karen]

Yeah, but that's what makes the fries taste so good.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Okay.

[Jeffrey]

We're putting a lot of emphasis on, like, the location of the day. But what about the bond, the connection between you and Ash? Did that change once you ended up at the crappy diner?

[Caller/Karen]

No. I mean, it was. Honestly, it was kind of perfect. Like, we were sitting there eating cheese fries and drinking milkshakes and in our formal clothes and just talking, you know, and probably because the plans had changed and we were thrown in this situation, we ended up having just the greatest, most real conversation.

[Jake]

That's awesome.

[Brooke]

That's such a good sign for anyone. If you can be anywhere with someone and still have a good time, that means that you actually have a real connection.

[Caller/Karen]

Yes. And after our plans fell through, you know, like, it just felt so good. It felt so comfortable talking to him. We talked for hours.

[Brooke]

Oh, my gosh. How could he not be calling you?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I mean, how did this night end?

[Caller/Karen]

Well, okay, so one thing led to another. He kissed me good night. And I did, of course, end up at his place.

[Jeffrey]

Really? Post chili cheese fries. You guys went back to his place?

[Caller/Karen]

Hey, I'm telling you, I felt very comfortable with him, and I. Apparently, I didn't leave till the next morning, in fact, which is unusual for me. But.

[Brooke]

What did he say? Was he there when you woke up?

[Caller/Karen]

Yeah. No, he was just his sweet, playful self. He gave me a little kiss on the nose, which I thought was adorable. And.

[Brooke]

Okay, so it wasn't even awkward the next morning?

[Caller/Karen]

No, not at all.

[Jeffrey]

It makes me wonder if it was, like one of those typical guy things where it wasn't enough of a challenge and it became too easy. So the guy gets bored.

[Brooke]

He doesn't sound like a guy that is like that, though. Jeff. This sounds like they. They never do, Brooke.

[Alexis]

Yeah, they.

[Jeffrey]

They're always the prince charming until they ghost you.

[Brooke]

It sounds like they were just Vibing on a deeper level than that. If he just wanted to get in her pants and that's all he wanted, or he was disappointed in that. They could have gone anywhere and just gone and drank and then gone back to her place.

[Jeffrey]

That sounds exactly like what they did.

[Brooke]

They went to a diner, they talked for hours, they walked the city. Like, that is a totally different thing.

[Jeffrey]

Maybe he knew that crypto event was happening and this was all set up as, like, a little ruse. Be like, look at me. Look how spontaneous I could be. Let's go back to my place.

[Brooke]

Are so cynical against men right now.

[Jeffrey]

I'm just telling you this. I've heard guys do stuff like this and sometimes even worse.

[Brooke]

I know I still want to thank for the best. Jeff. I'm sorry.

[Jeffrey]

All right, well, you can be naive if you want, but let's call Ashwin and we'll see what he has to say.

[Caller/Karen]

Thank you, guys.

[Jeffrey]

Your second date update, right after this. Hold on. Second date update? Wow. Another first date blown up by a pod of crypto bros. You act like.

[Alexis]

This happens all the time.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, every single week we deal with this because our listener Sierra was supposed to meet a guy named Ashwin at a rooftop bar. But of course, when they arrived, the entire venue had been rented out by a bunch of crypto nerds geeking out over yield farms and stabilizing their coin pools.

[Brooke]

Oh, God.

[Jeffrey]

Whatever they like to talk about.

[Alexis]

Look at these candlesticks popping. Sorry, we're done. A little trading.

[Jeffrey]

Don't even know what that means, but it disgusts me.

[Brooke]

God, no wonder I don't enjoy any of it.

[Jeffrey]

Here's the thing. Sierra and Ashwin didn't let that kill their night. They actually swung it into a really fun evening at a local diner, which eventually led into a sleepover.

[Alexis]

A really good.

[Brooke]

It sounds so sweet.

[Jeffrey]

It did, until Ashwin is suddenly not calling her back.

[Brooke]

Dude, he kissed her on the nose for goodness sake. Like that.

[Alexis]

Is that a romantic move?

[Brooke]

It is an absolutely romantic like, that's a I really like you move.

[Caller/Karen]

Is there another way to read that?

[Brooke]

See?

[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

It's so sweet. And you've reached out to him, or you haven't. You're just waiting to hear from him.

[Caller/Karen]

This was what was so weird. We texted a little bit after that. Like, he just. I. I got the vibes that he was not interested.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, even through texts?

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Caller/Karen]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

Feel that energy shift.

[Ashwin]

For sure.

[Brooke]

I hope it's one of those where he's just scared of real love.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

No, for real. I know that Sounds stupid, but sometimes, like you had said, oh, there's no challenge. Like, what if it's too easy and everything is great? Sometimes people don't like to be in that space. I don't know.

[Jeffrey]

We'll see which category Ashwin falls into if we're able to get him on the phone here. I'm going to dial his number right now.

[Alexis]

Two perfect categories.

[Jeffrey]

We're praying for a Disney ending. Here we go.

[Brooke]

Getting her another nose kiss, Jeff. That's right.

[Jeffrey]

What a promise. Okay, here we go.

[Ashwin]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, is this Ashwin?

[Ashwin]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, man. Thanks for answering. You're on a radio show right now. It's called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Alexis]

Hey, good morning.

[Brooke]

Welcome to the show. Ashwin.

[Caller/Karen]

Hi.

[Brooke]

Sounds like you might be busy or something right now.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I hope you have a second to talk to us because we're doing a segment called A Second Date Update Date.

[Ashwin]

Sure. This is weird. Okay.

[Caller/Karen]

Yeah, he's nice.

[Jeffrey]

Give him a lot of credit. So the reason that we're calling is because you went out on a date recently with a listener to our show, a woman named Sierra.

[Ashwin]

Oh.

[Brooke]

Oh, you mean.

[Alexis]

Sure.

[Brooke]

Yeah. He lost an ice.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. So here's the thing. Sierra, we talked to her, and she told us about your hang the other night.

[Brooke]

The diner sounded so cute.

[Jeffrey]

It sounded pretty good. Despite all the obstacles that came up, you two were able to have a really good thing. Would you agree with that?

[Ashwin]

I mean, we. We. We did. It was probably one of the most amazing dates I've. I've ever been on.

[Alexis]

What the heck, bro? Why aren't you calling her? We're all over here waiting to find, like, some crazy reason or something.

[Brooke]

That's so sweet.

[Jeffrey]

Sorry to be so emotional about it, but it's just that, you know, Sierra's right. Really confused.

[Ashwin]

It's. It's just kind of embarrassing.

[Jeffrey]

For you or for Sierra?

[Ashwin]

For me.

[Brooke]

All right, well, I mean, if it's too much to share, you should do.

[Alexis]

It anyway because we could really use the content.

[Brooke]

I don't want to pressure anybody, you know?

[Jeffrey]

And Sierra really deserves to know, wouldn't she say?

[Ashwin]

Yeah, yeah, no, she is. She's really awesome. This is mostly. Mostly a me a me thing.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well, if you're willing to open up to us just even a little bit and we could pass the message to her, I think that would go a long way.

[Ashwin]

We had this amazing, amazing night, and she told me that she doesn't do this a lot, where she goes to a guy's place and that she was curious where she ranks.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, where she what?

[Brooke]

Ranks.

[Caller/Karen]

Ranks.

[Jeffrey]

Where she ranks, like, compared to other people.

[Ashwin]

Yeah, I was. I. I was very. I was very thrown off by that question.

[Alexis]

Is it a joke?

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Ashwin]

It was. It was not a joke because I. I asked her to clarify. I said, what do you mean?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Ashwin]

And she said, well, I'm sure you've been with X amount of people.

[Brooke]

Well, that's kind of a rude assumption. Yeah. Or.

[Alexis]

Or it's an assumption person.

[Brooke]

But you know what. Or it's a testament to your experience that you had. You could take it as a compliment.

[Jeffrey]

What, did you. I mean, did you actually rank her?

[Brooke]

God, no.

[Ashwin]

Well, I. I told her that. I'm not sure how to answer that.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, that's good.

[Ashwin]

And. And eventually I said, top three for sure.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's cute. That's a good, safe answer.

[Alexis]

Like what? Only top three?

[Brooke]

I'd say top three. That's great.

[Jeffrey]

And you don't want to say number one because then you're too eager and I don't believe.

[Brooke]

Believe it if you say number one.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I've seen myself. I know I'm not that good.

[Ashwin]

But then I told her, since I answered this for you, you have to reciprocate.

[Brooke]

Why would you do that? You don't want that.

[Jeffrey]

She asked it to him.

[Brooke]

Oh, God.

[Jeffrey]

What did she say?

[Ashwin]

She said, you're definitely in my top five.

[Brooke]

Okay. Okay. Not bad.

[Jeffrey]

She like, a little bit lower than what you were incurred, but.

[Ashwin]

It gets worse. I asked her out of how many.

[Brooke]

No.

[Ashwin]

And she said maybe five.

[Brooke]

Oh, wait.

[Jeffrey]

Top five out of five? So you're in the top hundred percent.

[Brooke]

That changed everything for you, I assume, because it just changed everything for me.

[Jeffrey]

What did you assume?

[Ashwin]

It just kind of felt. It felt a little humiliating, honestly.

[Brooke]

Did you tell. Did you laugh or did you say, okay, that's rude?

[Ashwin]

I didn't really know what to say because I already felt so vulnerable. You know, we're in my bed naked, and we've just been together.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Brooke]

It's like getting a participation trophy.

[Alexis]

Matter of fact, hold on, let me try again then.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, well, you know, maybe. Maybe there was some sort of miscommunication or she didn't say quite what she meant. And I'll give her a chance to explain herself right here because I need to let you know Sierra is on the other line of this call, listening, wanting to talk.

[Ashwin]

Oh, God. Oh, God.

[Brooke]

She's the one that should be embarrassed.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Caller/Karen]

Ashwin, hi.

[Alexis]

Please tell us five is like the number one ring. Like it's the Best.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah. You were going backwards.

[Alexis]

Yeah, yeah. She's like, I can't lie.

[Jeffrey]

Tried to save you.

[Caller/Karen]

I feel so bad. First of all, Ashwin, I'm so, so sorry. I can't believe I made you feel that way and you've been feeling that way this whole time.

[Alexis]

That's a great apology.

[Brooke]

Does that feel good, Ashwin?

[Alexis]

She acknowledged did something wrong.

[Ashwin]

Feels bad. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you.

[Brooke]

Hey, guys.

[Alexis]

We're mending a little.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, you're still top five. Jeff. Yeah.

[Jake]

Can we address.

[Caller/Karen]

Is it okay if I. If I explain a little bit, please?

[Jeffrey]

Yes. Go into details about why he's literally.

[Brooke]

Explain yourself. You know what? Men that can take constructive criticism is not a bad. What did one through four have that he.

[Jeffrey]

One thing he could do better? Let's work on one step at a time.

[Ashwin]

And for some reason, I didn't do enough foreplay stuff. I'm open to. I'm open to feedback.

[Brooke]

Do not interrupt that statement, Jeffrey. Not enough men make it. You should assume you didn't. Wow.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. Well, you know, actually, maybe we shouldn't be asking what he could change. Maybe it's better to ask you, Sierra, why you said that to him.

[Jake]

Yes.

[Caller/Karen]

When I said, oh, you're definitely in the top five of five. I was trying to be playful. I was trying to make a joke. I was trying to be kind of cocky and flirty.

[Alexis]

You were kidding.

[Caller/Karen]

Yes, I was kidding, and I'm so sorry.

[Brooke]

Why did you leave with that?

[Alexis]

Yeah, it was a joke, dude.

[Brooke]

Don't we have a laughter sound button or something we could have hit there?

[Caller/Karen]

Yeah, he's definitely top four for sure. Let's just put it.

[Brooke]

Wait, that's a joke too, right?

[Alexis]

Yeah, I think so.

[Brooke]

It doesn't matter.

[Jake]

It's better.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Still climbing the rainbows there, bud. You didn't have to do anything. That was great.

[Ashwin]

Can we. Can we please stop talking about what number I'm ranking?

[Jeffrey]

Okay. Fair. All right.

[Brooke]

Yes.

[Caller/Karen]

I'm so sorry. I'm just so embarrassed. I was trying to make a joke. It didn't land.

[Brooke]

You definitely have said your apology.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, you said that a lot. And I think Ashwin gets the idea that you didn't mean it. But we mean this when we say we'd like to send you out on another joke date, the two of you. Ashwin, if you're willing to give her one more chance, we would pay for it.

[Brooke]

Don't let your pride stand in the way of this one, Ashwin.

[Ashwin]

Yeah, no, I. Her explanation definitely, definitely makes me feel Better and embarrassed that I can't take jokes about bedtime. But, yeah, no, I definitely would be interested in another date.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's cute.

[Jeffrey]

All right, so congratulations. That means, Sierra, you got what you came for. Another date with Ashwin.

[Caller/Karen]

Thank you so, so, so, so much.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God. Do I feel like we just had two listeners who own their own mistakes, which was just wild on this show. Yeah, that never happens.

[Jeffrey]

It's a little bit too mature for my life.

[Brooke]

This means tomorrow's gonna be really bad on the show.

[Jeffrey]

Look at Jeffrey in the morning. Can we all agree where do I rank? Is a question that should not come up until at least date number three.

[Brooke]

No, Jeff, let him tell you. You just don't ever, ever.

[Jeffrey]

You've never had that conversation with your husband?

[Brooke]

God, no. With your husband. Why would you have that conversation?

[Alexis]

You just let someone tell you that was the best. That was great. Or you just don't bring it up.

[Brooke]

Terrible conversation to have. She was joking. It's a funny joke. Yeah, that's true.

[Alexis]

That was actually really good.

[Jeffrey]

I don't know if she really was joking. It was the right thing to say in that moment in order to say, well, finally.

[Brooke]

Finally the right thing to say.

[Jeffrey]

Exactly. And I fully expect to hear from both of them when we do an update.

[Brooke]

I think they're so cute.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, we're. Hopefully by then he's climbed the rankings into her top three and then.

[Alexis]

But what, she hasn't added like 10 more?

[Brooke]

Well, I'm learning systems. We don't know what type of relationship they're going to be in.

[Jeffrey]

Right.

[Alexis]

That's also true.

[Jeffrey]

I can say we are open to our listeners ranking us on our podcast. I hope we're in the top five.

[Brooke]

Don't compare us to your others. Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Or top 10. We'll take top 30 even. As long as we're ahead of JLD, then we are a big win in our books.

[Alexis]

Dude, just lie and say we don't.

[Jeffrey]

Even have a list.

[Alexis]

Yeah, we're new to all this. We've never done this before.

[Jeffrey]

Go and find us wherever you get your podcast. We're up abroad.

[Brooke]

And Jeffrey, Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

Well, I've written another song of the week.

[Brooke]

Yay, Jeff, why are you sad about it?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, why are you? I feel the excitement in the room feels genuine.

[Brooke]

I was actually excited for you.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well, you know what that means. It's time for apologies.

[Brooke]

Oh.

[Jeffrey]

So this is a list in non alphabetical order to all the people who, when they hear my song, will probably feel Wrong finger. Slighted by it in some sort of way.

[Brooke]

I see a pre apology list.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Let's just go down real quick. All the professional musicians, lyricists, bass players and talent agents of those bass players.

[Brooke]

They always get mad.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. My employer. Because I know I've embarrassed us again.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

All my previous employers for having any association to me. My mom, Brook's mom, Brook's mommy gets in a program director's mom. Basically all the moms who are going to listen and say what? He doesn't even sound like the real T pain at all. You are right, moms. And I am sorry.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Now my mom, the T pain expert.

[Jeffrey]

Now that I've pre apologized to everyone, my brand new song of the week is coming up right after this. It is time for my song of the week. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning and in the ice. Iconic words of Mr. Charlie Brown.

[Alexis]

Oh, great pumpkin, where are you?

[Jeffrey]

Deserved a bigger laugh for Charlie.

[Alexis]

I like Charlie Brown.

[Jeffrey]

I don't like that now is the time when people are flocking out to the local pumpkin patches, trying to hunt down the perfect gourd.

[Alexis]

Right now, prime time.

[Brooke]

I'm a tall and skinny lady. I don't know, for my pumpkin, I go gourds.

[Jeffrey]

Everyone's watching, walking up and down the line, saying like, oh, you know, this one's too small. This one's too orange. This one's not orange enough.

[Brooke]

Yeah, that's right.

[Alexis]

Some of those green yellow ones.

[Jeffrey]

This one shaped like Brook's head.

[Jake]

Bingo.

[Jeffrey]

That's exactly what I wanted.

[Brooke]

It's big. I have a large head round.

[Jeffrey]

Just pop some glasses on it, call it a day. But it's really evolved over the years. Where before, like, it was just a little patch of dirt with some pumpkins on it. You went, grabbed a few and like, left.

[Brooke]

I mean, before you just went to the grocery store parking lot, but sure.

[Jeffrey]

Now they've made it into this whole experience with like corn mazes and hay rides and cinnamon donut shops and farm animal kissing booths.

[Brooke]

Yes. And you gotta buy apple butter for some reason.

[Jake]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

You'll never use it, but you should buy it.

[Jeffrey]

It's $5 to mouth kiss the goat.

[Brooke]

Oh, wait, what?

[Jeffrey]

The farm animal kissing boots.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah. Not the greatest of all time. In actual.

[Jeffrey]

You must not have been listening to what I was saying. That's okay, but for some families, you're not gonna get out of there for under a hundred dollars anymore. It's just not gonna happen.

[Alexis]

Dang, that's expensive. I've never been to one, so I Don't know.

[Brooke]

They're a lot.

[Jeffrey]

It is very commercialized, but that doesn't mean it's any less magical.

[Brooke]

Ah, that almost is nice.

[Jeffrey]

Once you get out there and you experience the pure joy of trudging through a muddy field on an ice cold day, paying quadruple the price of grocery store pop that they pulled from this exact same field just a week ago.

[Brooke]

Man, they even pulled them for you.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Aren't you guys excited or what?

[Brooke]

Yeah, let's go.

[Jeffrey]

That's why I had to sing about this time honored tradition. And instead of doing Jay Z's big Pimpin, it's young Jeffrey's big pumpkin. Yes, it is.

[Brooke]

Let's go, Jeff.

[Jeffrey]

All right, I'll point when I'm ready. Points. It's big pumpkin, baby. Big pumpkin.

[Alexis]

Ji jig.

[Ashwin]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

You know why? Carve them, cut them, break them open.

[Jeffrey]

To scrape out all the seeds and.

[Alexis]

Take them out the hood. Yeah, it's smelling good. I'll bake them up and eat them outside it's cold and freezing I'm talking.

Cheech Cuz I'll be in the corn maze don't know where to go Got lost next to a scary crow My direction sense is terrible Gotta find that tractor area. Ooh, this tractor ride is awesome. That's because I call shocker. Some kid want to sit in the front and I say kid that's not my problem If a pumpkin in the muck get it I'm stuck Just gotta wiggle it go to grab it by the stand man jiggle it second base but a little more vigorous.

[Brooke]

Makes me want to go this year. Last year I did just take my kids to the grocery store.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, it's magical, but not quite as magical.

[Brooke]

We still took one selfie. I was like, hey, what's up, you guys?

[Caller/Karen]

Parking lot.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, we'll photoshop like a beautiful background behind us later.

[Brooke]

We're going to keep it real, Jeff. Yeah, Whatever you need to do to get your pumpkins. That was inspirational.

[Jeffrey]

Exactly. Everybody's hunt looks different depending on who you are and where you are. But there's nothing that beats the magic of grabbing that perfect pumpkin.

[Alexis]

If you like the song, you have to carve your pumpkin at Jeff's faces here.

[Brooke]

That would be good.

[Jeffrey]

I'd appreciate that. And text in 78592. You could tell us what you thought about the song of the week. We're going to post the video up with all the lyrics on all of our socials, on our YouTube, on instagram, tick tock, all of it.

[Brooke]

You do fast wraps because then you talk really fast afterwards.

[Caller/Karen]

Oh, yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Let's just get this over with and get on to the next day.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

Coming to you live from the Brooke and Jeffrey studios is game seven of the ongoing trivia bout between defending champion Brooke Fox and her challenger, Garrett.

[Alexis]

She's played them six times so far.

[Jeffrey]

They are locked at an even three.

[Alexis]

And three, making this one for all the marbles.

[Jeffrey]

One game, one moment. Who will rise to the occasion?

[Brooke]

Go win the whole thing.

[Jeffrey]

No. That was great. That was amazing.

[Brooke]

I was excited.

[Jeffrey]

How do you do under pressure situations, Brooke? Better or worse?

[Brooke]

I'm really good under pressure. You have to be if you're a procrastinator.

[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

If you're someone that procrastinates in life, you have to be able to do it all last minute, all at the same time.

[Jeffrey]

That's how your laziness pays off.

[Alexis]

That is so well said.

[Jeffrey]

And, Garrett, how do you do under pressure situations? This is game seven for you.

[Ashwin]

I am the king of procrastination. So I guess that's a good sign.

[Jake]

Zero.

[Alexis]

Studying for this.

[Jeffrey]

Two procrastinators. Let's see how it goes. Brooks leaving the studio, and you got 30 seconds to answer as many questions as possible. If you don't know when you can say pass, but you have to beat Brooke outright if you want to win. Are you ready?

[Jeffrey]

Appreciate you tossing out an answer there, Garrett. Now, Brooks coming back into the studio. And it says on my screener here. Garrett. It says on my screener here. Can't talk.

[Alexis]

Oh, I thought we were gonna do.

[Brooke]

The seventh inning stretch.

[Jeffrey]

No, no, no, no. We're just gonna skip to learning more about Garrett, who says he loves Halloween, and he has three kids who are gonna be Dr. Dressing up for the holiday. What are your kids dressing as, Garrett?

[Ashwin]

I think Mario is actually going to be my youngest.

[Jeffrey]

Jose's got some mushrooms that your kid can borrow if you want. Hey, there you go. That'll be a fun experience.

[Jake]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

He doesn't have to use them, but, you know, let's carry him around.

[Jake]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Are you. Do you dress up, too, Garrett?

[Jeffrey]

You know, I haven't in a long time.

[Ashwin]

Maybe I will this year.

[Jeffrey]

I don't know.

[Brooke]

See, that's the thing. You got to be a good example. Gamble to those teens. Yeah. Yeah. Weird, you know?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. You can be Yoshi. Have your. Have your little one ride you all around the neighborhood.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I like it.

[Alexis]

Or be Princess Peach. Dude, have her come save you. That'd be hilarious.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Yes. We got ideas for you. But now it's Brooke's turn. Are you ready?

[Brooke]

I'm ready.

[Jeffrey]

Your time starts now. Today is National Pasta Day. What country is the largest producer of pasta in the world? Italy, China, or the U.S. oh, probably China. The liquid part of your blood is called what?

The song We Don't Talk About Bruno is from what Disney film movie.

[Brooke]

We don't. The family Madrigal. Oh, my God. Encanto.

[Jeffrey]

In Greek mythology, who was God of the underworld?

[Brooke]

Ooh, Hades.

[Jeffrey]

He got really excited about that one.

[Alexis]

She knew that one immediately.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, they're my favorite.

[Brooke]

We've been getting into Greek mythology in our family because my son's reading all the Percy Jackson books.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, really?

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Cool. Cool. I don't know.

[Jake]

Who.

[Alexis]

Was he also in the underworld?

[Brooke]

You should read the Percy Jackson. They also have a good series out right now.

[Alexis]

I can't read, and you know that. Don't call me out on the air.

[Jeffrey]

Some side stories aren't worth mentioning. So there you go. Let's go to the scoreboard to see how you did with Jose.

[Jake]

These nuts got him.

[Jeffrey]

Got him scared.

[Alexis]

Garrett, you got five. Correct. All right. What a good game for game seven.

[Jeffrey]

Seven.

[Alexis]

Garrett got five. Brooke comes up to the plate, and only three.

[Jeffrey]

She strikes out.

[Alexis]

Hey.

[Brooke]

All right.

[Jeffrey]

You take game seven, you bring down Brooke. Well done.

[Alexis]

Yeah, Garrett.

[Jeffrey]

Thank you. Let's go. The answers for everybody. It's National Park Pasta Day. The country that's the largest producer of pasta in the world is China. 5.3 million tons of pasta are produced there a year. Italy is second at 4.2 million noodles. So much liquid part of your blood is called the plasma. Goombas, Shy Guys and Chain Chompers are all bad guys from Super Mario Brothers. Garrett had a little bit of advantage.

[Ashwin]

The Halloween costume helps.

[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

The song We Don't Talk About Bruins Uno is from the movie Encanto.

[Alexis]

Yeah, you got there.

[Jeffrey]

In Greek mythology, God of the underworld would be Hades in the Asian country that was originally called Siam.

[Brooke]

Thailand.

[Jeffrey]

Thailand. Thailand. She just didn't changed it in 1939 after the Siamese revolution.

[Alexis]

Interesting.

[Jeffrey]

Garrett, congrats. You took down Brooke, you get a hundred bucks.

[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Plus, just for playing, we're giving you a pair of tickets to see Maroon 5 at Climate Pledge arena on a October 21st.

[Ashwin]

Sweet. All right.

[Brooke]

Wow, Garrett, you're pretty even keel for being the champion.

[Ashwin]

I'll come back. Don't worry. We'll start another series.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

We'll stomp you all over again, Brooke. Thanks for playing, Garrett. We're going to do win Brooks Bucks same time on Monday.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
