Transcript

[A]

Hey, welcome to the full show. And today's a little extra bonus because we added an extra segment. Yeah, today.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

So you're gonna get an extra few minutes in here whether you like it or not. Yeah, we gotta riff it around. Valentine's Day edition. Coming up, Jeff's song of the week, which is all about being the third wheel. And Jose was down in the masses of the super. Wait, super what? Big game parade.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Caught myself. And it was incredible. You gotta hear the audio. It's all about to start. But first, comments. Alex. Ye said I love y' all and I make my niece listen with me. She's eight months old. Gotta start him young.

[B]

Is that when she's in trouble or.

[A]

Yeah, imagine she's just screaming the whole time.

[C]

All right, there it is.

[A]

Your full show starts right now.

[C]

We've talked about this before. How Americans this year are more unprepared for Valentine's Day than ever before. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[B]

It kind of crept up on us this year.

[C]

Yeah. And it's not just about planning where to go or what to wear or who to invite to be your third, but also what to eat. Because the types of food that you choose to ingest could make or break the romance that night.

[A]

Oh, that is a good point. So everyone is always like, Italian. So romantic.

[B]

Go to this chili cook.

[A]

So heavy.

[D]

Right.

[C]

So I'm gonna give you some options. I'll say them one at a time, and I just need from the room a yay nay or hey neighbor.

[A]

Okay?

[C]

Okay. Hey neighbor's the best. Yay is the middle. Nay is the lowest.

[A]

What is obvious.

[C]

Duh.

[A]

Why, you wouldn't have to explain that.

[C]

I apologize. That was dumb of me. So we're gonna start off slow with Pizza Hut's heart shaped pizza. Yay nay or hey neighbor.

[A]

Hey neighbor. Really? I'm gonna say, if it's for kids, sure. But Brooke?

[B]

No.

[A]

A romantic partner. No, I think.

[B]

I think it's cute, but it's not romantic pizza.

[C]

Yeah. You wouldn't split a heart shaped piz with your husband.

[A]

He'd eat it all. There'd be nothing left for me.

[C]

Okay. Steal your heart, you mean. Off to a rough start with this, I guess. And then we've got from Applebee's $6 Mucho Smoocho Sips menu, a $6 Tipsy Cupid, which is spiked lemonade with Smirnoff vodka, orange liqueur, strawberry, and something called gummy lips floating in the drink. Is that a yay nay or hey neighbor? What do you think of the mucho.

[A]

Smoocho I was gonna, but then I heard about the gummy lips, so. Hey, neighbor.

[C]

There you go. Also, we've got Dairy Queen's red velvet Blizzard. One cup, two straws. Yay. Nay or hey, neighbor.

[A]

You cannot eat those with straws.

[C]

Jeff.

[B]

Just for the title, bro.

[C]

Just the faces that you make as you're both sucking super hard at the same time. And finally, Waffle House. They're doing Valentine's heart shaped waffles, but it's the only day of the year you actually need to make a reservation to get one.

[B]

Yay.

[C]

Nay or hey, neighbor.

[A]

Hey, neighbor. Hey, neighbor.

[B]

That was good, because then you can fight somebody after and defend her honor.

[C]

Oh, I like that.

[A]

Fights are just very, very sexy.

[C]

So now you've got some Valentine's food options for you. You can go split one of those with your special someone. Now onto the shot collar question of the day with our show, Special someone. His name is Jake.

[E]

Hi, everyone. It's nearly Cupid's bir. And did you know 31% of people will be buying their Valentine's Day gifts at discount stores?

[A]

Hey, good for you.

[B]

Yeah, that's my dad.

[E]

Also, $9.4 billion will be spent this year on unwanted gifts.

[A]

That's why it's good that you got a discount on it, because why pay full price for something nobody wants?

[E]

And over a million people on Facebook will change their relationship status on Valentine's Day.

[A]

Oh, wow.

[B]

Making it official.

[A]

Maybe my husband will finally admit he's married.

[C]

At least say it's co complicated between you two.

[E]

Obviously, I know my numbers, but do you know yours? Today we'll find out as we play a special Valentine's by the numbers edition of plenty of 20. You'll say number one through 20. I'll quiz you on a Valentine's Day statistic. It could be people, could be purchases, percentages, dollar amounts. You have to answer correctly to stay in the game. Okay, let's start with the woman whose magic number is four when she counts the McNuggets in her Happy Meal. That's Alexis.

[A]

I get a six piece, Jake.

[E]

Oh, I'm sorry.

[A]

Two.

[E]

I'll adjust my records of the people who plan to celebrate Valentine's this year. Alexis, what percentage of celebrators plan to buy candy above or below 50%?

[A]

Candy's just so good. Like, not even your significant other, but friends. Like, I bought candy to give my room. Ashley gave us candy last year.

[B]

Candy's so.

[A]

Oh, in school they buy candy. I forgot. Oh, okay. Yep. I'm saying over 50.

[E]

She's right.

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

I mean, you could have candy to give to people, but it's always nice to give them the fresh batch if you want. Brooke Rover to you too is off the board.

[A]

Give me 14.

[E]

How many marriage proposals happen on V day in the United States every year? Is it above or below 50,000 couples?

[A]

How many couples are in the United States? I've seen like five listeners comment their anniversaries on Valentine's Day. Okay, so five out of the 10 people listening, that's.

[E]

That's very high.

[C]

That's only the people who said yes.

[A]

I still think it's so cliche to do it on Valentine's Day.

[B]

I'm. Ouch.

[A]

Oh, sorry. Okay, to our five listeners.

[C]

Sorry.

[E]

It's not right to be cliche.

[B]

Can be good.

[C]

Yeah. What are you going to do with the heart shaped pizza?

[A]

Sorry, sorry, sorry. I think it's unique. So then I am going to say less because it's so unique.

[C]

I'm sorry, brooke.

[E]

It's above 87,000 couples per year get proposed to on Valentine's Day.

[B]

Like, next thing you know, people are going to celebrate Christmas on Christmas.

[E]

Jose, we're over to you. 2 and 14 are off the board.

[B]

Let's go 7.

[E]

I'm gonna tell you the three least desired gifts from women, and you have to put them in order as the absolute worst to. Meh. Fine, I'll take it. Here they are. A love coupon book. Coupon book, Furry handcuffs and being serenaded.

[C]

Oh.

[E]

What do you think is the worst there?

[B]

I mean, okay, it takes a certain type of woman to want to be serenaded. Is that the most cringe?

[A]

I think I hate coupon books too.

[E]

Let me remind you.

[B]

Coupon book.

[A]

Laughs because who actually uses the coupon book.

[B]

Exactly.

[A]

That's the laziest hazard there is.

[C]

I think handcuffs would definitely be the best gift because even if you're not into the fuzzy part, at least you can like, lock your significant other somewhere.

[D]

And they can't get away.

[E]

See, that's a red flag for me. I would put that on the opposite side.

[B]

Uh, oh, okay. Well, because of the consensus in the room, the worst is the coupon book.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

The second worst is being serenaded. And the best is the furry handcuffs.

[E]

I'm sorry, Jose, handcuffs was 34% of ladies said no way to the handcuffs.

[B]

Oh, really?

[E]

18% said no to the love coupon book. And 14% said they would not want to be serenaded on Valentine.

[B]

So that was the worst.

[A]

I'M with you, Jose. I would have taken the handcuffs.

[E]

Everyone knows 2026 is all about zip ties.

[B]

Free. We're over to you.

[E]

Two, seven and 14 are off the board.

[B]

Recyclable.

[C]

Eight.

[B]

Number eight.

[E]

What percentage of marriages now begin online through a dating app? Is it above or below 70%?

[B]

This is going to be high, Jeff.

[C]

Seven out of 10 marriages today started by meeting online or through an app. I mean, it's like 100% when you're talking about, like, prison match dot com, so you have to, like, factor that in.

[A]

I have a friend who's met someone in person.

[B]

Yeah, that's a good.

[C]

I always hear nowadays that everybody is afraid to approach in person. Nobody gets hit on and, like, any more time anywhere, like, ever. So I think, shockingly, it's going to be above 70%.

[A]

Higher.

[E]

Oh, no, Jeffrey, it is a high number. It's 60% of people.

[B]

Oh, it's getting there.

[E]

Marriages begin online through a dating app, and that means Alexis is the only one to get one right and has won today. Plenty of 20. Who would have thought? Alexis?

[C]

Alexis is the best at relationships in the entire room. So she gets to choose who gets shocked. They're gonna be singing Kiss from a Rose by Seal.

[A]

I mean, Jose seemed into the serenading, so.

[E]

Oh, yeah, I did like that.

[B]

This is my moment.

[E]

Eye contact, everyone.

[B]

Texting. I wanted this. And baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray. Ooh.

[E]

Right on the.

[F]

Ooh.

[A]

I will say if men started serenading while wearing shock collars.

[C]

Okay, there we go. It's your shot. Collar question of the day. We got your phone tab coming up in just a few minutes.

[F]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[C]

Brooke, are you down for a Valentine's Day quickie?

[A]

Yes, yes, yes.

[C]

It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning for me. And by quickie, I mean a quick rundown of Valentine's Day things in the news.

[A]

That's all. I thought you meant the whole time.

[C]

Obviously, because there's a new dating app called Dead Me, and it's not an app for hooking up ghosts. It's a place where people who work in the post mortem industry can match.

[A]

I thought I was getting leftover beef from somebody.

[B]

Oh, my God. That's actually probably needed for them.

[C]

Yeah, that's a different dating site. So this is for embalmers, crematorium techs, taxidermists, your weird neighbor who collects dead birds, anybody who's been in contact with a cold body in the past 48 hours. This is the App for you.

[B]

Yeah, it's getting cold in here.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

I like the morbid name for it too.

[C]

Next up in quickie news.

[A]

Yes, yes, yes.

[C]

Researchers say there's evidence that mouth to mouth kissing is more than 5,000 years old.

[A]

Wow.

[C]

First you'll figure it out.

[A]

I don't know. They were probably really shunned.

[C]

Yeah, everybody else in the village was like, what? What the heck are they doing?

[B]

They just touch faces. Witches.

[A]

They're like, don't shame them, guys. Don't shame them.

[C]

Apparently they found some old clay tablets in Mesopotamia depicting that type of romantic behavior.

[A]

Oh, so it was like the first like naughty literature too.

[B]

Yeah, they definitely got a hug. Wrong.

[C]

The archaeologist was inside that cave for a very, very long time. Studying the photo would not let anybody else enter. I mean, it does.

[B]

It's not a quick thing to like chisel stone.

[E]

It had to be really good.

[C]

Hieroglyphic.

[B]

Took a while.

[C]

Also in quickie news, so called candy salads for Valentine's Day are going viral on TikTok. They're basically a modern spin on grandma's old candy dish where you just put everything into one giant bowl.

[A]

Oh my gosh.

[C]

Nerds. Reese's cups, individual sticks of gum. You just mix it all up with.

[A]

The spatula burn is original editor actually made it electric. Alexis and I ate a salad last year. So cute.

[E]

Not enough loose gum for me.

[C]

Yeah, exactly. Brooke, you need to post your recipe for homemade candy salad up on our site.

[A]

It includes a can of oysters.

[C]

Oh, don't give it all away. So those were your Valentine's Day quickies. You are welcome. Brooke may not have been what you're hoping for.

[A]

I liked it.

[C]

It got the job done. Yeah, Laser Stories coming up next.

[B]

Hello, it's Laser Stories.

[C]

It's the radio segment that's launching a new cereal. Taking the idea from Lucky Charms, just marshmallows to create Raisin Bran. Only raisins?

[A]

Just raisins and milk.

[C]

Maybe with sugar on them. Nothing like a big bowl of dehydrated grapes to kickstart your morning and your colon with Laser Stories, the segment where we read weird news stories around the globe just like everyone else does. Except we've got a laser. Those other brand busters just don't. This first laser story is out of Sacramento, California. This has to be up there on the list of riskiest things to steal because a 47 year old guy named Leonid Terzi was accused of stealing beehives. That is the dumbest. Why? Who would steal a beehive?

[A]

I mean, if you really want some good honey, if you want to get.

[B]

Stung a thousand times.

[C]

And I'm talking about the kind in box, not on trees.

[B]

Oh, like the professional.

[A]

That's what I always think.

[B]

Oh, my bad. I thought someone's climbing up a tree in the park, and they're like, hey.

[C]

Hey, that's part property.

[B]

That's the city's bees.

[C]

No, he's not crazy. Anyway, it all began when cops got a report the other day about some bee boxes that showed up on a piece of property in Yolo County. Real place.

[A]

It's so rad.

[C]

They noticed some markings on the boxes had to be altered to hide the fact that they were stolen. So the police department set up a sting operation.

[B]

I know.

[C]

I didn't want to do it, but.

[A]

You don't even lie.

[C]

Okay. Believe me. Yeah, Trust me. Okay. I'll stop pauling your leg. Officers staked out the spot and arrested the guy when he showed up. There's a photo of him in handcuffs, still wearing his beekeeping outfit.

[E]

Wow.

[A]

Who knew beekeepers could be so. So edgy?

[C]

Cool.

[B]

He's a bad boy.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

No mask on. Just the onesie. No word on why he stole the hives, but authorities believe he had a plan. Because right now, farms pay a lot of money to have those hives brought in whenever their crops need pollinating. Yeah, so he probably saw this as a business opportunity.

[B]

Well, he has a queen.

[C]

He just needs the bees, and they'll immediately.

[A]

He could just start his own. Like it's just a couple boxes of.

[C]

You found a better way? Sorry.

[B]

Yes.

[C]

This next laser story is out of Waco, Texas. A woman was walking her dog in her suburban neighborhood when she saw an Amazon driver veer off the road, hop the curb, and smash right into her mailbox, then drive off.

[A]

I was thinking it was like a medical emergency or something, but they left, sped away.

[C]

So she chased him down the street. And a few blocks later, the guy pulled over. Yeah, and witnesses saw him stumbling out the driver's side door, then trying to shove empty buzz balls down a storm drain to get rid of the evidence. Here's a photo of buzz balls if you've never seen them. They're those ball shaped cocktail drinks that liquor stores sell. They're really colorful. So basically, the guy was delivering packages while driving around drunk.

[B]

Ain't nobody got time for that.

[A]

Not good.

[B]

My man come.

[C]

Cops showed up and gave him a sobriety test, which he promptly failed. So they took him straight to jail.

[A]

If only those buzz balls would have been Smaller, then it could have fit him down the storm drain and nobody would have known.

[C]

Like most, he didn't work directly for Amazon. He's an independent contractor. Either way, the company fired him and Venmoed the couple money for their mailbox. So it is being replaced.

[B]

Oh, wow, Venmo, you like to.

[C]

Let's go to your next laser story out of trend town. The great thing about social media is you never know when a trend or product is going to go viral for whatever reason.

[A]

Yes. Yeah.

[C]

Take Ace Hardware, for example.

[A]

They're going viral.

[C]

It's a little bit of a smaller home improvement store, but it has a growing reputation on TikTok. Not for being the place with the helpful hardware folks, but for being the place with bomb frozen pies. Double rainbow.

[B]

Oh, my God. Oh, my gosh.

[A]

Our hardware store, like, it's a true value one. They have really good candy selection, like imported beautiful candy.

[C]

Stop trying to take the limelight away from ace.

[A]

No, I.

[C]

This is about Ace Hardware. Every time I go candy hardware store.

[A]

Every time I go into the small hardware store, I'm like, oh, they have that. Interesting.

[C]

Awesome. We're gonna cut that part out. So if you've been to an ACE out west recently, you may have seen a freezer case filled with take and bake frozen pies.

[A]

Okay, who's making them? So random.

[C]

Take and bake, like the kind you bring home and cook yourself in the oven. Tasty. Well, thanks to TikTok, they've become a viral sensation with more than 20 different flavors, including boysenberry, rhubarb, peach, and blueberry. Oh, yeah.

[B]

Delicious.

[A]

We gotta find us some Ace pies. Yeah.

[C]

And one recent video has more than 3 million views on it. ACE says it started selling the pies where the pie company is based out of. And word spread quickly from there, and more and more locations started stocking them, but only in California, Nevada for now.

[A]

Oh, dang it.

[C]

By the way, they're around 19 each, so better be good then.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Quality ingredients inside the pies.

[A]

That is a pricey pie. Yeah.

[C]

You mean when there's hot pie noodles news we're gonna cover it.

[A]

I guess so.

[B]

Absolutely.

[C]

Let's go to your final laser story out of V Day. Me Day headquarters. Guys, we're in trouble because according to a new report, Americans now spend $189 on an average date.

[B]

Whoa.

[A]

I mean, that covers two drinks at a trendy bar, right?

[C]

Feels like it. It's a 13 increase from just last year. And it includes dinner and drinks, plus an activity like seeing A movie or hitting up topgolf 4. So the average American spent more than $2,300 on dates in the past year.

[A]

That doesn't include the babysitter cost.

[C]

Oh, yeah, this is mostly like single people.

[A]

That's what I'm saying.

[C]

And not surprisingly, that hits younger adults the hardest. The ones are actively going out for dates and looking to have fun and make a good impression.

[A]

You like me. Right now. You like me. She sounded young.

[C]

Yeah, she had to pay for it. So with that information, will that impact Valentine's Day plans for this year? Apparently not really. Many restaurants are completely booked for the night, and people say they plan to pay an average of $252 for an evening of dinner, drinks, and naughty hijacks.

[B]

I will say I was at a fancy steakhouse recently and they literally said the Wagyu A5 went up in price because of the tariffs. We're like, oh, that's gonna be fun.

[A]

I'm hoping your naughty hijinks are free, though. I mean, you included that in the price and I'm concerned about that because.

[C]

It depends on exactly what your plan is. Sure, but dinner, drinks, and naughty hijinks is definitely the plan for this guy. Well, kind of dinner, drinks, and naughty high tops. But that could be hijinks if he plays his card right. And that's how many stories has come to an end for the day. We'll do it again same time on Monday.

[F]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[C]

Two days ago, I had to file a complaint with Doordash.

[A]

What?

[C]

Because my lunch took over 14 hours to reach me.

[B]

Oh, my God. Where'd you get it?

[C]

14 hours wasn't because the restaurant caught fire or that Alexis was my delivery driver shopping stop. It's because millions flooded our city streets to catch the Seattle Seahawks marching through downtown to celebrate their recent world championship.

[A]

I mean, and I also hope your lunch was still warm.

[C]

It wasn't. I didn't even care that it was cold, though. This was worth it.

[B]

Just one guy in the scooter with a delivery box behind the parade.

[C]

That's why we sent Jose Bolanos into the madness with a microphone to ask the fans, what you doing at the Seahawks victory parade? We're going to play the audio right after this. I've only got two words for you. World champions Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Cuz the other day, it was estimated 1 million people swarm the streets of downtown Seattle to celebrate the Seahawks winning their second super bowl with a massive parade.

[A]

And if the school email emails me one more Time. It was totally a family event that my kids were out for 100%.

[C]

I mean, the last time the city got this riled up was like 12 years ago when Brooke gave birth to her first child and the paternity test was in inconclusive.

[B]

It's all of our babies, Jeff.

[A]

There was no test.

[C]

Exactly. That's why we don't know. But Wednesday was even crazier. Maybe you saw the pics online or the videos on TikTok, but if you weren't there, I don't think you could really understand what it was truly like unless you had a friend with a microphone whose name is Jose Balanos.

[B]

That's me.

[C]

Because we sent him knee deep into the sea of blue and green to ask these football fanatics a simple question. What you doing at the Seahawks victory parade?

[B]

What you doing at the Seahawks victory parade?

[A]

I'm definitely. My friends are coming. I'm really excited. We're gonna celebrate with them from school. I. I get to skip school today to go to this, so I really gotta cherish this today. Whoa.

[B]

And I'm assuming this is your. Your mother?

[A]

Oh, no, we're just met.

[B]

Yeah. Random friends. I was like, sister maybe. I didn't know you have no supervision.

[A]

No.

[D]

Wow.

[A]

So cute. Supervision.

[B]

It's like, any kid can do whatever they want.

[C]

So you interviewed a random minor who had skipped school, was hanging out with some random woman. Yeah. His parents are nowhere in sight, and you're like, awesome, bro.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

It's a victory parade.

[C]

If there was a lost child in a mall, he was like, help. I don't know where I am. You'd be like, sweet, dude.

[B]

At least the stranger looked caring.

[C]

She seemed like the mother.

[A]

Yeah. I mean, preteen teens could be doing a lot worse. Yeah. This is wholesome. Yeah.

[C]

Didn't he say he was nine?

[B]

He was nine.

[A]

He was that young? Yeah.

[C]

Oh, good for him.

[B]

Oh, my God. He can handle the big city.

[A]

I've got the big difference now.

[C]

I can't imagine that kid's going places.

[B]

What you doing at the Seahawks victory parade? Well, I'm at home right now, so I'm at. Yeah, I'm in my front yard. You're vibing, bro. What are you doing just posting up out here? Oh, man. Parking lot pimping, man.

[E]

Just.

[B]

You know what I'm saying? I'm out here seeing what's what, who's who, and, you know, all these beautiful women out here. It's definitely beautiful women out this. Okay, so let me. Let's get a scenario. Beautiful Women walk by. What's the approach? What do you say? I ain't approaching their ass. I'm just chilling. Kind of like how I saw you and gravitated towards you. Absolutely, bro. Man, look at that.

[C]

Now look at this one.

[B]

My God. Damn, we got a beautiful woman walking by. What thoughts are going through your head, man? Is that her boyfriend or her brother letter? Oh, they do kind of look alike. That could be the brother. Damn, she fine.

[A]

I appreciate his respect. He comments, but doesn't approach. I know. And the refrain of both of you not to cat call. I mean, honestly, we've come so far.

[C]

Any way that we could get the parking lot pimp to do more of these interviews? Could you imagine Jose and PLP hitting the streets questioning honeys all over Seattle? I'd love that.

[A]

If they this woman ever heard this segment right now. She'd feel so flattered.

[C]

Shout out to you, random woman at the parade.

[B]

I know where he lives. I can go back.

[A]

I want some compliments. I'll walk by him.

[C]

It's what you doing at the Seahawks victory parade? Where Jose braved a crowd of millions to ask the fans a simple question.

[B]

What you doing at the Seahawks victory parade?

[C]

Celebrating with the team.

[B]

I see that you got a Super bowl champion shirt on already, the jersey under it. Yeah, just happened like, two days ago, bro. How'd you get a shirt already?

[C]

They were selling it. The. The street vendors. Okay. I've been here since 5:00am oh, you've.

[B]

Been here since 5.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

You set up next to the hot dog stand. You're smart.

[C]

I'm glad they set up here.

[B]

Okay, cool. So now you got food, there's water.

[C]

Yeah. There's glizzies, there's toppings, there's everything.

[B]

Yeah, what else do you need?

[C]

Alexis.

[B]

Oh, Alexis from our show?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Please tell me that's not your girlfriend holding your hot dog. No, no, no, no, no. Girl holding your hot dog right now. Wait, that came out kind of weird.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I thought he was gonna say a bathroom, but look at that.

[C]

Alexis, you didn't even go down there. Still, people are talking about you. Sure it's the drunk guy who just wolfed down eight hot dogs in a row, but still something to be proud of.

[A]

How they could usually talk to.

[C]

Hey, leave him alone.

[B]

He's been there since 5:00am yeah, okay. I can't believe this is the craziest room in my life to paint a picture. I'm hanging off the side of, like, a gate. There's a guy on top of a pole. What you doing at the Seahawks victory parade? We're celebrating. You're holding on for dear life up there. Why? Why are you up there? It was the best fault. We got here, like, an hour late. What if you hurt yourself? Oh, we'll figure it out from there. You have health insurance. Have you thought of this in a responsible manner? Not even a little. You're causing a scene. These people want to see you. Take off your shirt. I'll take it off just for you. Jose. He's taking it off. I was kidding. Oh, God, he's doing it. He did it. I feel like Tarzan right now. Get your shirt on before you get arrested. The hype was real, man.

[C]

Why do I feel like that's not the first time Jose has shouted, put your shirt on before you get arrested?

[B]

I also frequently ask people to take them off, too.

[C]

Yeah, so I can appreciate that level of enthusiasm. Especially if you've climbed a pole to do an injury.

[A]

Well, not just that, but the level of danger. Because when you take your shirt off, there's a moment where you're blind, where you can't see anything.

[B]

And he's still holding on to this light post by one hand. He's, like, at least 10ft in the.

[C]

Air in the parking lot. Pimp saw that guy with the shirt off. He was like, hell, yeah, you do your thing. That was what you're doing at the Seattle Seahawks victory parade. We got your phone tab. Coming up next, we're in the home stretch to Valentine's, and if you somehow manage to book a reservation at a romantic Italian restaurants. Wow. Consider yourself lucky.

[B]

You booked it months ago, genius.

[C]

Unless that restaurant is the same one. Our helpful resident German, Hans Gluber works at a German working at a romantic Italian restaurant.

[B]

Confusing.

[C]

This should be interesting. I wonder what he wants in your phone tap right now.

[F]

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

[D]

Hello?

[B]

Hello, this is Hans Gluber from Italian restaurant. Am I speaking Bisa. Keith?

[D]

Yes, this is Keith. How can I help you, brother?

[B]

Sorry, I'm saying Keith, but they cannot say very well, because my accent your name like Keith. Like I'm going to Keith.

[C]

You.

[D]

You're like Keith, like K, e, I, T, H. Oh, okay.

[B]

I was saying Keith, but it is Keith. Got it.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay. I see you're having the reservations at our restaurant for Valentine's Day.

[D]

Yes, sir. I'm excited, man. One of my favorite places to go.

[B]

Ooh, and in the notes here, I will say this quietly so no one is hearing, but it says you're hoping to Be proposing to your fraulein?

[D]

Nope, nope. Not hoping. I am going to get engaged. I'm excited about this.

[B]

Oh, wunderbar. I am loving that energy. But can I let you in on a little secret?

[D]

Like what? You guys are gonna do something special for us.

[B]

I would consider this very special for you. You see, I do work at this Italian place, but I as the finest German restaurant in the entire city. Maybe even in UN World un Osenheimer.

[D]

Okay, so what does this have to do with me, though?

[B]

Well, here is a Italian restaurant, very basic. Oh, I have a limp noodle. I'm going to slurp and maybe have a bread. Boring. But on German restaurant. Oh, now we are speaking the language of the lovers.

[D]

So you saying you don't want me to go to the Italian restaurant?

[B]

Well, of course I am not outright saying that because that would be against the handbook here. I would get in trouble. I would never say that. But yes, you should leave.

[D]

Yeah, I don't know about that, man. It's kind of weird. Especially you working at one restaurant trying to get me go to another.

[B]

Well, that should show you how much better one of the restaurants is. And have you ever known how romantic German people are? You're a very loving bunch.

[D]

Nah, I've never met a romantic German person ever.

[B]

You're telling me you've never seen the famous German movie Sleepless and Stuttgart?

[D]

I've never seen that movie, man.

[C]

No.

[B]

Everyone has seen the movie Two lovers meeting over strudel. And then one gets taken to prison for falsifying secrets to the other and then relaying the information to the kgb. Dude, sleep lessons. Trutcart.

[D]

Dude, that's not a sexy movie.

[B]

Oh, you must watch it. Are you kidding me? You know how much of this sexy time I had after watching that movie?

[D]

Okay, can you guess?

[B]

Weiser.

[D]

Sleepless, because he's in prison.

[B]

Well, yes, but he's also still making love. Not by choice.

[C]

Anyway, yeah, I'm not.

[D]

I'm not interested in a German prison love movie. I don't even know why we're talking about this and doing this over the phone.

[B]

Well, in Germany, prison love is the highest form of love and romance, but, you know, it's different culture.

[D]

Dude, what the hell are you talking about?

[B]

Okay, never mind. Look, if you really want to do the Proposal at the Italian restaurant, I would love to hear about it.

[D]

Well, got a little dinner, right? And then German deliver. I got some candlelight.

[B]

German candlelight.

[D]

I got chocolate. I got flowers.

[B]

Ooh, German chocolate.

[D]

And I'm going to have the ring delivered in the flute.

[B]

Oh, okay. I mean, that's very basic. Again, I mean, you could do it that way. But think about this. If you were in a German restaurant, instead of a tiny champagne float, imagine a ring floating in a 72 ounce steel stein, and she must drink the entire stein. And then she proposes to you, as is tradition.

[D]

Man, there's nothing wrong with you.

[B]

Plus, it is a proof of her tolerance. You would like a strong woman who can pound the beef.

[D]

Look, man, I gotta go. Me and my lady both like Italian. We're just gonna do the Italian restaurant. We don't want German, dude.

[B]

Okay, I was not prepared to do this, but I will pull out all of these toppings for you. Okay? I am going to give you one free strudel cake.

[D]

Nah, man, nah.

[B]

I'll make it myself. I can put a little blue pill in it if you'd like.

[D]

Hey, man, just chill. I told you I don't want your reservation. I'm gonna do it my way. We're going to the Italian restaurant. That's it.

[B]

Well, fine. You can keep your reservation, but now I'm mad. Just know if you see me. Okay, I'm mad. Me and your friend Nathan, who set you up for the prank phone call. Wait, you're going to be pouting all night.

[D]

Did you say Nathan? How do you know my boy Nathan?

[B]

Oh, you mean your best friend? Cause he's the one who set you up for this prank phone call.

[C]

He's actually.

[D]

I knew this was so stupid.

[B]

I could tell you knew a little bit, man. My name's Jose from the radio show. Brick and Jeffrey in the Morning. We just did a phone tap on you.

[D]

And the crazy thing is, I was gonna ask this to be my best man.

[B]

Oh, me? I would love to be your best man. Oh, my gosh.

[C]

Not you, Nath.

[E]

That.

[C]

That.

[B]

Making more sensing. Yeah. Okay, well, I was thinking, you know, best man, maybe movie night, you, me, sleepless and screwed.

[C]

God.

[D]

Nah, I'm cool. That movie probably on Tuby.

[B]

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

[F]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[C]

Oh, no. Did you guys hear that? That's not just any harp. That's Cupid playing his emergency harp. Oh, no. No emergency harp when he's in trouble.

[A]

Oh, let's save Cupid.

[B]

How come no one told us this before?

[C]

He needs help with a Valentine's emergency Cupid. One of our listeners met up with a guy on Valentine's weekend, and even though they both ended up getting kicked out of the restaurant, she Said it's one of the best, most memorable first meetups she's ever had.

[B]

What the heck?

[A]

She can remember it. That's a good sign so far.

[C]

Yeah. The bad sign is he's not calling her back afterwards.

[A]

Play that hard.

[C]

So we're gonna find out what happened and help Cupid.

[A]

Here we go.

[B]

Cupid.

[C]

In a special Valentine's second date update right after this.

[F]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning second date update.

[C]

Sometimes it takes a bold move to make a first date really stand out.

[B]

Oh, okay.

[C]

Whether that means going in for the kiss right when you meet.

[A]

What?

[C]

Oh, bringing your parents along with you or giving them your car at the end of the night. Oh, there's a little thank you gift for. For meeting up.

[B]

I'll walk from here.

[A]

We sign the title over to you.

[B]

Sounds like a great day for Alexis.

[C]

Another bold move is to have your first date during the most romantic holiday of the year.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[C]

Valentine's Day. That's what happened for one of our listeners, Melissa, who now needs our help on Valentine's Day. So, Melissa, welcome to the show.

[F]

Hi.

[A]

I'm so curious. Who would ask you out on a first date around this time?

[F]

Oh, well, it was this guy. Met online, actually.

[B]

All right, he's gonna sound silly. Did he in any way say, I don't like you like that?

[A]

See, I feel like he probably just forgot that it was the holiday. I mean, he's an I.

[B]

That's a classic guy thing.

[C]

Actually, we're into a lot of, like, complicated questions. Let's start with an Easy. Does he have a name There it is.

[F]

Yes. His name is John.

[A]

Very easy name.

[C]

Tell us about Easy John.

[F]

Easy John. He's really nice. He's so cute. I just thought he was, like, a perfect gentleman.

[A]

Oh, really? What did he do that was so gentlemanly?

[F]

Okay, well, he definitely knew that it was Valentine's weekend, and he went above and beyond, booked this really nice restaurant.

[B]

Oh.

[C]

So he didn't shy away from it. He was like, I want to take you on a Valentine's date on Valentine's weekend.

[B]

Proper.

[F]

Totally. Yeah.

[C]

Put it out there.

[B]

Well, that's good.

[A]

Okay. So how did it go?

[F]

Well, so we get to the restaurant, really nice, but it is so busy.

[A]

Oh, did he have reservations?

[F]

Yes, he made a reservation.

[A]

Oh, okay. Okay. Okay.

[B]

Wow.

[C]

Nice restaurant. Like reservations on Valentine's weekend. It's very romantic, but it could put a lot of pressure on both of you going into that date. Did you feel that pressure. Energy at all?

[F]

I felt pressure going into it, but Then once I got there, he made me so comfortable.

[A]

Oh, he did? Aw, that's sweet.

[C]

Yeah. How was it? Like, did you have a good time with him?

[F]

I had a good time.

[A]

Uh. Oh.

[F]

Like, I. No, no, no. I really liked him. It was just that the atmosphere, so insane and hectic. Like, we get seated, our table, we get our orders in, our food comes out, and we notice there's only one fork. Like, the waiter's so busy, we ask for a fork, but they never bring us another fork. So we're like, okay, I guess we share it.

[A]

Did you. Did you share the fork?

[F]

We tried to share the fork, but that just, like, took too long because then each person was waiting for the other person to take a bite.

[C]

Seriously, you would take a bite from the fork, and then you'd pass the fork over to John, and then he would take a bite from his meal.

[B]

Well, you can't make, like, wait for one to finish. The other person's going to get cold.

[A]

And if he was a real gentleman, he'd wait for her to finish.

[B]

Gentlemen.

[A]

He'd just go in the back like I do and steal a fork. Wherever the server station is, Brook's, like.

[B]

I got first silverware.

[C]

Don't worry about this. I mean, all the joking aside, isn't that, like, a weird way to go about your first date, sharing utensils?

[F]

Yes, but it was, like, sort of. We had a laugh about it. Eventually, I switched over to a spoon. It kind of made things a little bit.

[D]

It.

[F]

It made it low stakes because we were like, this is crazy. Right?

[A]

Right. So he cut up your meat for you, and then you spooned it into your mouth.

[C]

All right, let's get past the fork. Sharon, what other highlights happened during your restaurant date?

[F]

Okay, so this is where it got a little bit weird.

[A]

Oh, weirder.

[F]

We're finishing up our main course, and then the host of the restaurant comes over and asks if he could speak to John. Like, away from the tape.

[A]

What? That's weird.

[F]

John goes over, has this long conversation. I could see them talking. It looked like a little bit heated.

[A]

I couldn't hear what was so, like, hands are moving. It's a little animated.

[F]

It lasted, like, five minutes, which is kind of a long time.

[C]

Is the host a male or a female?

[F]

A guy.

[C]

Okay. I was wondering if it maybe was an ex or something.

[A]

Oh, that's not a bad.

[C]

Not an ex.

[A]

So what happened? Happened?

[F]

Well, okay, so when John comes back from the conversation, he was, like, really upset, and he was like, screw this, we're leaving the Host chases after is like, you still have to pay. Like, I'm in the middle of it. I'm confused. I'm like, what is happening?

[A]

So you're dieting and dashing.

[C]

Well, it sounds like they're being kicked out of the restaurant. Not dashing.

[B]

Yeah, well, they're like, you have to pay.

[A]

You have to pay.

[B]

But hey, if you're kicking me out of a restaurant, I'm not paying either.

[A]

So what'd you do?

[C]

Yeah, what happened?

[F]

Well, John told me to go out and, like, wait in the car and that he would deal with it. And he. He pays, he settles up.

[B]

Okay.

[F]

When we're on the car ride home, I'm asking him, like, what just happened? That was crazy. Apparently the host told John that we were taking too long for our meal.

[E]

No.

[F]

And there was an hour limit.

[B]

Oh, they do that sometimes.

[C]

Didn't John say it only took so long because we had to share one fork passing it back and forth?

[A]

That was probably part of his argument.

[B]

Yeah, like, you guys are giving us bad service.

[F]

I mean, and I. I was supportive. John was, like, really upset about it, and I was like, I'm upset, too. That's ridiculous.

[B]

Yeah. You're having a good time on your date.

[C]

Well, that sucks. That puts like, a. Definitely a sour taste at the very end of the day. Were you able to end it on a happy note?

[F]

Yeah, I mean, he took me home again. He was a perfect gentleman. Walked me to the door, said he would call, we should do it again.

[A]

Oh, really?

[F]

He apologized for the restaurant thing, even though I could tell he was still sort of heated by it and it wasn't his fault.

[A]

Yeah, I mean. So you haven't heard anything from him since this weekend?

[F]

No.

[A]

Does that feel like. I don't know, maybe he's busy. It's weird to do a whole Valentine's Day date and then not text on Valentine's Day.

[C]

All that build up and nothing.

[B]

Could just be super embarrassed.

[C]

Or maybe he only has one cell phone that he shares with his roommate. Back and forth. And so his roommate has the cell phone this week.

[A]

Time limit.

[C]

Yeah. So I don't know. There must be an explanation. We're going to call the number that you gave us. Hopefully it's John. And we'll try and get you your second date up update right after this. All right, all right, all right, hold on.

[F]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[A]

Second date update.

[C]

Two meals, one spoon. Should be the title of our second date today.

[A]

You still shouldn't look that up on the Internet.

[B]

Yeah, well, it's not even that.

[C]

Well, because our listener Melissa, went on a Valentine's date on the busiest weekend of the year with couples packed into nice restaurants. Their waiter was too busy to give them another fork. Sorry. So I said fork before. Yeah, but so they just shared one, which is a little awkward to do on a first date.

[A]

And made for a long meal.

[C]

Yeah, but it does sound like it helped break the tension of having a pressure filled first date on a holiday. Like, totally.

[B]

And they actually got to taste each other's food.

[C]

The weird part, though, was when the host came over to the table just during dinner, pulled her date John aside, and they got into a heated conversation, which Melissa couldn't hear. All of it led to John saying, though, screw it, we're gonna leave, dude.

[A]

They basically got kicked out of the restaurant.

[C]

Super awkward. A lot of questions about that, but apparently they were there for too long and the restaurant was trying to turn as many tables as they could that night.

[A]

Oh, my God. So rude.

[C]

So, yeah. Almost ended in disaster. I mean, I think it did. Melissa, do you think maybe John's just embarrassed that that situation happened on the date?

[B]

I think so.

[F]

Maybe. I was also. I was trying to think of anything else weird happened. And I do remember that he wanted to get to the restaurant early, and I was like, a little bit late getting ready.

[A]

And he picked you up, right? Like, you guys were in the same car.

[F]

Yeah, he picked me up too late.

[C]

Oh, so you're part of the reason that maybe the reservation.

[A]

Yep, yep. Got shifted.

[C]

Okay, but if they only have you blocked out for like an hour of eating and you arrive 20 minutes after your hour, like, they might rush.

[A]

You ever dated a woman? Like, are we ever on time? I mean, come on. Oh, you should pat it into the reservation time.

[C]

I don't know how I'm apologizing for this, but, yeah, I'm sorry.

[A]

Thank you. Like, just call the restaurant and say you're running late before you even get us.

[B]

Yeah, I would put myself in issues. I don't think I would want to call her back too. So embarrassed. You have all these expectations and now you're never gonna. You're always gonna remember the first date, yelling, storming out of the restaurant.

[A]

We're gonna save this on Valentine's Day.

[B]

But I can see it.

[C]

If he is embarrassed, we're going to save it. Or we're going to blame John for not understanding what women are really like.

[A]

There he is.

[B]

We'll make him say I'm sorry right when he gets on the phone.

[A]

It Felt good when you said it.

[C]

Do you feel good about that, Melissa?

[F]

Yeah, I just want some answer.

[C]

All right, let's get those. I'm going to dial his number right now. Here we go.

[D]

Hello?

[C]

Hey, we're looking for John. John?

[D]

This is John.

[C]

Hey, John. Maya. My name is Jeff from a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[A]

Hey, John.

[C]

Sorry for how seductively my host tried to say that to you, but it is Valentine's Day after all, Dear John. Okay, all right.

[B]

She's married, John.

[A]

Sorry, I'm just being silly. John. It's just a. Yeah, we're kind of.

[C]

A wacky fun show, and we do this wacky segment called Second Date Update.

[B]

So wacky.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

And we're trying to help one of our listeners get back in touch with you after you went on a date with her named Melissa.

[D]

Oh, man.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Really?

[B]

We heard it was.

[A]

Yeah, we heard nights. I was. I thought, bold move on your part for going on a first day on Valentine's Day weekend and, like, leaning into it.

[C]

Yeah, that's a big deal, dude.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Melissa called you?

[C]

Yeah, she emailed us, and we reached out to her to find out about how you two met and what you guys did on your date. So we have a few of the details. The information we're looking to get from you, though, is why you're not reaching out to her after the date. She says it's been a few days and got nothing.

[D]

Oh, man.

[A]

Oh, my God. Why are you laughing?

[D]

Because this is very embarrassing. You know, I want to call her and. I know. I know I need to call her, but I just been putting it off because it's such an uncomfortable conversation.

[C]

You weren't physically attracted to her?

[A]

What?

[D]

No.

[B]

No.

[A]

That's what you got from that? How did you get that?

[B]

You don't need to tell people that.

[C]

It was a bad guess. Sorry. I get three bad guesses. We all get three bad guesses. That's my first strike.

[A]

Terrible guess. Not even bad.

[C]

What were you embarrassed about?

[D]

So I was really nervous about the date, and so I really wanted it to be a good experience for her, but I waited too long to get dinner reservations, and there was no restaurants open, you know, that had anything open for me.

[A]

Wait, she said that you had reservations and that you guys went to this fancy restaurant?

[B]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

[D]

Yeah. Well, I. I might have done something a little weird.

[A]

What?

[D]

I don't know if she told you, but. So at the restaurant, the waiter pulled me aside.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Like he had, like, a little conversation with me.

[C]

Yeah. She Was mentioning that it got kind of heated between you and the host, but she couldn't hear what was happening.

[D]

Yeah, so basically what happened was the host, he pulled me aside, and he was like, are you John? And, you know, I told him that I was okay. So what happened was the actual John showed up.

[A]

Wait, wait, wait.

[C]

What?

[A]

You took someone else's reservation that was also named John? John?

[D]

Yeah, I did.

[A]

Oh, how. Wait, how'd you know there was another John there? Did you just go, oh, table for two for John?

[C]

What about Tom?

[B]

What about Sarah?

[A]

I met Kurt.

[C]

How did this happen?

[D]

So the day before, me and my friend went to the restaurant, and I told him to distract the host, and I went up to the reservation book, and I looked for another reservation with the name John.

[B]

Oh, that's brilliant, dog.

[A]

And, like, it's such a generic name.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

I can't tell if I'm flattered that you put. You mean, you put energy into making sure you had a table? Like, seriously.

[C]

And it makes sense because Melissa was saying you wanted to get there early, and she was running late.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[D]

Yeah. I thought I could sneak it in there, you know.

[C]

Oh, my God.

[B]

Okay, hold on. The server in me has to ask, was John the table for one? Which is why there was only one set of silverware on the table.

[C]

Table.

[D]

Yeah, I. I. Yep, that's right.

[B]

I figured it out. Okay.

[C]

Oh, my God.

[A]

Well, you should have just asked John to join you. Yeah, he might have been happier.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Oh, man.

[C]

And you've been waiting to tell Melissa this?

[D]

Yeah, I guess I was just too embarrassed to let her know I had a great time on the date with her, but I just was so ashamed of myself, I guess.

[A]

Extra. I think it's kind of fun. I think that she's gonna think it's funny.

[C]

All the women think that it's great that you took someone else's reservation and stole it from another honest man, but that's okay. Sure. I wonder how Melissa would feel about that, though, who actually is on the other line listening to this conversation. Dude. Oh, my.

[D]

Are you kidding me?

[C]

I'm serious.

[D]

You just told her she's on the other line?

[C]

Yeah, she. I think she's still there. Melissa, you there?

[F]

Yeah. Are you serious? That's what happened.

[D]

Oh, my God. Hey, Malicia.

[F]

Why wouldn't you just tell? Why did you have to make a big thing like you made a reservation? We could have gone anywhere.

[C]

Aw, I know.

[D]

We just. We clicked so well, and I just wanted to make it special, and, you know, I Just. I guess I like you a lot, so.

[C]

And when you're starting to vibe with someone online, you don't want to lose that momentum and let it go. Like two, three weeks till the actual day. Exactly. You gotta get face to face as soon as possible.

[A]

Melissa sounds so understanding. You sound good. Right?

[F]

I mean, I guess I do see how much he likes me to go through all that trouble. That is kind of sweet.

[A]

Yeah, but also kind of sketch that he wasn't going to pay the restaurant bill, was. They were leaving. Remember that?

[B]

Kicking it up.

[D]

I was going to pay it, but I just didn't want to get busted in front of her, so I just.

[C]

Had to get out of it to get her out. That's sweet. If he commits crimes or makes mistakes, he won't involve you in them.

[A]

See, that is that chivalry. You say it's dead. And it's not Jeff type of promise.

[C]

Every man should make. So because of that, I feel the vibes going on here. We'd like to send you guys out on another date. Melissa. That we would pay for.

[A]

We can't get reservations for tonight, though.

[C]

I. And I promise two forks at the table this time. You get your own utensils. What do you think, Melissa?

[F]

Alyssa, you know, that is weird that that was happening and I had no idea. But I do think that it's. It's actually kind of really nice that you were, like, freaking out so much about it and put all that effort in. So, yes, I would like to go on another date.

[A]

Love is real.

[C]

Look at that. If you're a little bit dishonest on a first date and then admit to your dishonesty later on, but it's all.

[A]

In the name of love, Jeff.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, it's fine as long as you say that. You don't have to actually believe it. Just say that it's for love and we can get you a successful relationship. Congratulations, guys.

[D]

Thanks, guys.

[A]

Happy Valentine's Day.

[C]

It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[F]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[C]

Well, it's official. The hot new first date move is stealing someone else's reservation and claiming it for yourself.

[A]

It's romantic. Romantic. I still feel it.

[B]

Not the right word. Yeah, effort is the right word.

[C]

I mean, Brooke, if you found out that your husband Michael did that for your Valentine's Day and stole some other couple's table, would you. Would your reaction be, oh, Michael.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

You're so conniving and manipulative and sweet. I love you, dude?

[A]

Yes, I would be impressed. I am not even lying.

[B]

He hasn't been putting an effort.

[A]

Yeah, we got into a fight over how he hadn't planned anything. And so he did finally play on something, right? We had a great Valentine. Well, whatever.

[C]

Did he just find someone with a generic name like Michael at a reservation somewhere?

[B]

Could be.

[A]

I had a great date on Saturday night.

[B]

There's like, five mad Michael Foxes.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Dang it.

[C]

Well, the lesson that we're learning is it's okay to be dishonest on a first date as long as it's for a good reason or to possibly get.

[A]

Some action and the woman benefits from it. Yes.

[C]

As long as the girl comes out on top, everybody wins.

[A]

I'm so excited for them. I haven't been as excited for a couple in a long time.

[C]

I feel bad for the original John guy whose reservation got stolen.

[A]

Dude, I feel bad that he was eaten by himself on Valentine's Day weekend.

[C]

But, you know, pile on anyway, he shows up.

[B]

Of course, someone already has my table.

[A]

Sorry, John.

[C]

We promise not to pile on to you, though. If you need some help with your dating life, email the show. We'll call that person who's not calling you back and find all of our second date podcasts wherever you get yours at. Brooke and Jeffrey, every married couple has their special wedding day song, whether it's Etta James At Last, John Legends all of Me.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

Or Quad City DJs. Come on, ride the train.

[A]

Come on, ride the train.

[C]

Oh, wow. Whatever works for that couple. You know, let them be. And yeah, you know what? Those are the. The tried and true ones that everybody tends to use. But if you want to be original, I've got a song that I promise you no one else will have played on their big day.

[A]

Oh, really?

[C]

Not cuz it's off tune and a little pitchy. Oh, but because it's off tune, pitchy and original to this station. So if you want romance unlike any other, make sure you listen to my brand new song of the week. You can could be slow dancing to it at your future wedding. Coming up right after this. It is time for my song of the week. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And if you had to peg our bread and butter on this show, it's really relationships.

[A]

Oh, for sure. Dates make this go around.

[C]

Yeah. Significant others, people who are married, people who are dating. I mean, could you safely say that that Valentine's Day is kind of like our Super Bowl?

[A]

Well, you can't say that legally without getting sued by the NFL.

[C]

Well, I think if I'M comparing the two. I'm allowed to say it.

[A]

Roll the dice, Jeff. I love it.

[C]

It kind of should be, right, if that's the main thing that we do is love and dating. And every single year, I sing a song about couples or possible gifts that you could buy. Yeah, but this is the first time ever. I'm not gonna do that sort of stuff.

[A]

Really? Because you're wearing heart shaped glasses and a heart headband.

[C]

I'm still singing about the holiday, but I'm gonna do a song about a single person who's not in a relationship, but happens to be around a couple who's trying to celebrate.

[A]

I see.

[C]

AKA the third wheel.

[A]

There it is.

[C]

And if you're the couple, maybe you know this person. Maybe they come over to dinner once a week to hang out with the both of you and they feel just so close to you and you know you love them too. Yes, but on Valentine's Day, it's supposed to be different. That's the one day that the third wheel should maybe stay in the garage.

[A]

Alexis is sad for them.

[C]

Is that where you're gonna be, Alexis? It's probably where you need to be. But it doesn't always. It doesn't always happen. And sometimes when you are the third wheel, you're having just such a blast, you don't even realize that you are getting in the way of Cupid's business.

[F]

I see.

[A]

This is a self realization moment for.

[C]

The third wheel, so I wanted to sing a song for all those oblivious third wheels who don't seem to grasp that their presence is killing the romantic vibe. Oh, man. That's why instead of singing the Bill Withers classic Just the Two of Us, it's Young Jeffries. Just the three of us.

[A]

Thank you for not doing the Will Smith version of this.

[C]

You're welcome. Okay, this is a little more appropriate. I'm going to point when I'm ready. Points. The most romantic night of all, holding hands at the table in the Outback Steakhouse. Boo. He compliments your gorgeous eyes. I agree. Then we high five. Can we get at third menu for just the three of us sharing shrimp by candlelight? Nothing devious, just third wheeling us. Gosh, I'm tickling, bro.

[B]

That ain't her thigh, that's mine.

[C]

No misreading us on Valentine. So just pretend that I'm not here while he nibbles on your ear and I bite into my T bar. But in the Uber, I'll give you space. You're in the back at second base while I ride Shotgun ear mud. Just the three of us strolling through the park at night. Linking arms and stuff. Nothing thrupulous. Just the three of us inside a hot tub sipping wine. Did our feet just touch? Cause I don't mind. Gosh, you two are such a cute couple. Oh no, no, no, no. Don't stop kissing on my account.

[B]

No, please continue.

[C]

Yeah, I'm fine just over here with my diet coke. No, no, you don't have to set me up with any of your cute friends. I like hanging out with just you two.

[B]

We're like the three musketeers.

[C]

Oh, waiter. Yes, can we get the Tropical Temptation for two but with three straws, please? Thank you. Blending in like I'm camouflaged. Joining your couple's massage. You barely notice I'm in that room.

[B]

Sorry.

[C]

It's the bloomin onion. Just like Anna and Kristoff. I'm your happy friend Olava and in the bed I'm smallest spoon. Just the three of us share one karaoke mouth. Like singing Endless Love.

[B]

Our singing really sucks.

[C]

We'll be speeding up on our three seat tandem bike. It's not weird for us.

[B]

Date night, squeezing us.

[C]

Just the three of us. Intermediate hanging out. I just hate your guys.

[B]

Chemistry.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Just the three of us. Taking many photos of us. Drop me out of them if you like. Just the three of us. Yeah, like a triple C9. Just ignore me if I cry. Just the three of us. Let's all go back to the hotel. I sleep at the foot of your bed. That's fine. Just the three of us. My two close dating friends and I. I won't kill the vibe. Oh, nice.

[A]

All right. Jeffrey, that was so awkward.

[C]

Well, not for me.

[A]

What are you doing in the massage room during the couples therapy?

[C]

I'm getting a massage.

[A]

Oh, you're getting one too?

[C]

Yeah, just over in the corner.

[F]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

Ye.

[C]

Do your thing. I'm cool over here.

[B]

You make a point with AI and everything. Now you can just crop the third wheel out. Exactly. It's like I was never even there.

[A]

Seems like he maybe could take the picture instead.

[C]

I don't know.

[B]

He's part of the crew.

[A]

Sorry.

[C]

Don't shut me out. We're friends. That's your song of the week for Valentine's. You can text in to 78592 and tell us what you thought about it. Send it to your favorite third wheel that accompanies you and your significant other everywhere you go. Happy Valentine's everybody. Whether you're single or the third wheel, we love you anyway.

[F]

Brooke, And Jeffrey in the morning.

[C]

Have you guys seen the Valentine's Day headlines out there?

[B]

Which ones?

[A]

I'm guessing by this music, they're not good.

[C]

Yeah, like this study finds 78% of all Valentine's Instagram posts are just to make an ex jealous.

[A]

Oh, my God, really?

[C]

Also, man attempts to to cook Valentine's dinner for girlfriend, sets entire apartment complex on fire.

[A]

Yikes.

[C]

Not really that romantic.

[B]

I mean, it's still kind of candlelight. It's all lit.

[A]

Flames of love.

[C]

Okay, man, with the way things are going, only one thing can turn this around and save Cupid's holiday.

[A]

Really?

[C]

And that's playing a love infused radio game called Riffing Around Valentine's edition. It's coming up right now. Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and low cost love is in the air. The only two ways to properly celebrate this holiday are by putting on your Brooke and Jeffrey fuzzy goatskin undies or by playing a naughty little game Riffing Around. Okay, if you haven't heard it before, it's where I. I play the instrumental of a very popular song you've definitely heard before, and my co hosts just have to name it correctly without whining or complaining to me about fairness. Brooke, almost taken away a point. That's your one warning. And in honor of Cupid's birthday, every song you hear will have the word love or something romantic in it. We're going to start it off with the lady who gags just hearing the L word spoken out loud. Alexis, name this romantic tune.

[A]

Oh, oh, Somebody to love.

[C]

Wait, Jose, can you steal it?

[A]

I know it, I know it.

[B]

So it's just the title.

[C]

Just the title. Give a guess.

[B]

Fell in love.

[A]

We Found love.

[C]

We Found Love by Rihanna.

[A]

Really good.

[C]

Brooke gets the point on that one. Jose. Ram, remember, the theme is Valentine, so please name this romantic song.

[A]

Oh.

[B]

Oh, I almost remember it.

[C]

This is right up your alley, Jose.

[B]

Oh, it's. It's like Ed Sheeran, but then I keep thinking it's.

[C]

All right, we gotta skip you on that. We're not even close. Alexis, can you steal.

[A]

Oh, I saw me on Brooke first.

[C]

Brooke, I don't know.

[A]

It's Endless Love.

[C]

What the heck is happening? Stop it. You're shaming everybody. Can't Help Falling in Love by Elvis Presley. It was used in a Life Alert commercial.

[B]

Brooke, you should have seen this.

[C]

Okay, well, nobody gets a point on that one.

[A]

Brooke, your disappointment, though.

[C]

Yeah, all right, Brooke just lost her point. Lost her point for shaming the host. All right, Brooke, put your jealousy of young Hot couples aside and try to name this love song. Remember, these all have the word love somewhere in the title.

[A]

Oh, they do.

[C]

That's the first thing that I said when I started this game.

[A]

Why did she not get a negative point for that?

[C]

Okay, Brooke, negative point. Why are you asking?

[E]

Terrible.

[C]

Brooke is in the negatives now. If you can throw a guess up there, that would be great.

[A]

This is. Oh, God, I love you. Alexa, swap song. No, Dang it.

[B]

Love you like a love.

[C]

Love you like a love song. Jose gets the steel.

[A]

It sounded like an 80s track or something.

[C]

It was a weird by Selena Gomez about a relationship still in its honeymoon phase, which for Brooke ended 27 years ago.

[B]

Hey, now that we heard an Elvis one, though, I'm all thrown off. I'm like, what era are we going to be in?

[A]

That's a cure. I don't know.

[C]

Love sp. Every generation. We're on to round two. The score is one for Jose, zero for Alexis, negative one for Brooke. Playing ripping around Valentine's Edition, where the title of every song has something to do with love or carnal gratification. All right, back to the girl whose number one love is seasonal drinks at Starbucks. Alexis, name this song.

[B]

Oh.

[A]

Oh, yes. Why can't I think of anything right now? I think Crazy in Love. Crazy in Love.

[C]

Crazy in Love by Beyonce. Brooke, anything unnecessarily mean you'd like to.

[A]

Say to me, not you. Not right now.

[C]

All right, good. Let's keep it moving. We're back to Jose. Jose, in order to get a point here, must answer as your phone tap character, Rolando, name this love song. That doesn't sound like Rolando to me.

[B]

Young or white.

[C]

There we go.

[B]

Doesn't matter which one. I do not know the lyrics.

[C]

Ah.

[B]

Oh, we're halfway there.

[C]

No, right artist, wrong song.

[B]

I'm going to say loving on the bread.

[C]

Right artist, wrong song. Alexis, do you have it?

[A]

Ronda threw me off singing the wrong too.

[C]

Turned on by Rolando. Can you steal it?

[A]

Now I can only see living on.

[C]

A person I know it is the same tool.

[A]

I'm telling you, love is a battlefield.

[C]

You give love a bad name by Bon Jovi.

[A]

We're not doing very well in the Love song.

[B]

No, you're not.

[C]

This is kind of shameful. Brooke, put on your rented latex thinking hat for this one and name this love song.

[A]

Yeah. What is this? Oh, love check.

[C]

Love check. B52s named after the construction yard honey bucket where Brooke was conceived. A little bit too easy for her on that one. It Is tied with one and one for Alexis. Brooke bringing up the rear. We're on to round three of riffing around Valentine's edition, where love is in the air and in the top title of each and every song.

[B]

Yes.

[C]

All right, Alexis, keep staring with that blank, confused look in your eye and name this popular romantic tune.

[A]

Oh, oh, I know it. She will be loved.

[C]

By Maroon 5. And he will be blocked on insta by that 19 year old. All right, Jose, I need you answer in this one to be your character Big Rick, when you tell me the name of this iconic love song.

[B]

Oh, This sounds like the. The be the beat those British boys.

[C]

Okay, that's pretty close.

[B]

Ah, but the only song I really love love about them is a. A yellow, yellow submarine.

[C]

That's not yellow submarine, bro. Can you steal it?

[A]

All you need is love.

[C]

Oh, you need tonight is love by the Beatles.

[B]

I couldn't think.

[C]

All right, Brooke, you're back. Tied up. I know you can't remember the names of your co workers who've been here for 11 years, but can you remember the name of this romantic song?

[A]

Oh, oh, oh.

[B]

Oh, my gosh.

[A]

Shoot.

[C]

Oh, oh, oh, oh, shoot Is not the name of the song.

[A]

I can't.

[E]

No.

[C]

It's Alexis's turn.

[A]

Taylor Swift. But I don't know if it's it's a love story or love story.

[C]

It's your guess.

[A]

Love story.

[E]

Love story.

[C]

That means the winner of riffing around Valentine's edition is Alexis Fuller. You win the love cup. And as a parting gift, Brooke will tell you her secret to avoiding unwanted intimate time with her husband.

[A]

I got a list.

[C]

Sorry, we are out of time. Make sure you tune in next week when we do riffing around famous Catholic church hymns of the 1500s.

[B]

I'm going to be really good at this.

[C]

I'm Jeff Rugburn. Debo, your phone tab's coming up right after this. Today we've got Lisa on the phone. And from the. From what I know about Lisa, she is a person with a life and.

[A]

Having a life and a job.

[B]

[C]

[A]

Lucky. Significant other and looking so good doing it.

[F]

I got the love of my life.

[C]

Oh, Lisa, same to you.

[A]

I don't know if I'm ready for this level of commitment. I think I better go out in the hallway. Yeah.

[C]

Brook, you take a breath, cuz we got to get to the game. And in honor of Cupid, all of today's questions will be Valentine. Valentine's theme works. You got 30 seconds on the clock to answer as many questions as possible. If you don't know and you could say pass, you have to beat her outright if you want to win. Are you ready?

[F]

I'm ready.

[C]

I knew you would be. Good luck. Your time starts now. What country consumes the highest amount of candy per capita? The US Or Germany? US Is Cupid the Roman or Greek God of love?
