• He admits the ex’s presence, tries to remain cool, even goes to say hi and compliments his ex’s hair—possibly in earshot of Vanessa.
• “I guess I just wanted to show Vanessa I was above it all… so I approached my ex, said ‘Your hair looks great.’" [39:00]
• Date ends with a hug and no word back from Vanessa.

PART 2 — Calling Vanessa:

• Surprisingly, Vanessa isn’t upset by the ex run-in. She found Eric’s honesty and composure “classy.”

• She then meets with the ex’s date again to further warn him.

• Vanessa: “Listen, Eric, my focus right now is on this other guy. Once he 100% believes me, then I'll focus on you.” [50:28]

---

10. Win Brooke's Bucks: Trivia Game [59:06–64:27]

Transcript

[Brooke]

Hey, we got a brand new full hour for you. Thank you so much for being here. And Jeff's song of the week may inspire you.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

To get a little something done. While you listen, you'll find out why. Coming up, A new second date. Did I already say that?

[Alexis]

I don't know anymore.

[Brooke]

Sometimes I don't know if I'm glitching or not. So thanks for being here. I think I already said that, too. Get to the comments.

[Eric]

Go.

[Brooke]

Alexis, I don't know if this is

[Alexis]

gonna help because Axel said. Wait. Brooke and Jeff are not dating?

[Brooke]

Oh, God.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, people think that a lot.

[Brooke]

Or you're married. I know. I don't know if it's because of just a lot of radio people being married.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, I think that's normally the people and the people are dating.

[Alexis]

Or people think your husband and Jeff look kind of similar.

[Jeffrey]

That's all they do, look similar.

[Jose]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

You guys go Google Brooke's husband.

[Brooke]

He loves when people do that. Yeah, he really loves it. He loves to be in the spotlight. Oh, yeah.

[Jeffrey]

At least we know behind the scenes that when Michael gets too old, you can, you know, just a few years younger, you can just.

[Brooke]

I'm good. Yeah, no, I like version 1.0 the best.

[Ashton]

I know.

[Brooke]

All right, here we go. Brand new. Full hour starts right now.

[Host Jeff]

Snitches may get stitches.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Host Jeff]

But freaks get our hero of the week. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

I thought heroes got those.

[Host Jeff]

Today's hero is a man in Austria named Malta Dunser. He calls himself, quote, the king of the freaks.

[Brooke]

Oh, hey.

[Alexis]

Oh, hey.

[Brooke]

Malta.

[Host Jeff]

Not just on his Tinder bio, but everywhere. Cause he has a special party trick that he likes to do that just broke a Guinness World Record. One I've personally never heard of before.

[Brooke]

That's cool. I love a good party trick.

[Host Jeff]

The record, most balloons passed through the nose and out the mouth in one minute.

[Jeffrey]

I don't like that I've seen this done before.

[Brooke]

Do you use the same balloon or do you use different balloons?

[Jose]

Good question.

[Host Jeff]

Different balloons.

[Brooke]

And they're clean every time.

[Host Jeff]

I should mention they're deflated balloons.

[Brooke]

That's a good point.

[Host Jeff]

Yeah. If they were inflated, it'd be even more impressive.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my gosh.

[Host Jeff]

He shoves the balloon empty up his nostril and then pulls it out of his mouth.

[Alexis]

I don't think we needed photos of this, Jaz.

[Host Jeff]

I think just the mental image is handful.

[Jeffrey]

There's a before and after picture you

[Brooke]

don't think you'd swipe right on this guy.

[Host Jeff]

And in one minute, he successfully did it 10 times.

[Brooke]

Why have I never done this but still feel like I could beat it?

[Host Jeff]

How did he discover he even had these balloon skills? Yeah, most likely on some trip to Colombia. I don't think we really want to know. But I'm guessing he also holds holds the record for the most children's birthday party someone's been asked to leave. Yeah. He says he tried out several different types of balloons till he found a version that slid through him the easiest.

[Alexis]

Oh, he's committed.

[Jeffrey]

Fun thing to say.

[Brooke]

Are you allowed to grease him up beforehand?

[Host Jeff]

He did grease them up.

[Brooke]

Oh, he did.

[Host Jeff]

With olive oil.

[Brooke]

These are the important questions.

[Jeffrey]

Olive oil, a Bono.

[Host Jeff]

I just imagine him going to Party City though one day and being like, I have an interesting question. I can't imagine how the employees react.

[Brooke]

Do you think that he picks a certain color, like. Cause it fits his vibe.

[Host Jeff]

He did all sorts of different colors for this. But thanks to his incredible balloon snorting world record, we are proud to make Malta our new hero of the week.

[Brooke]

Way to go, Malta.

[Host Jeff]

Bravo, sir. Now it's on to the shot caller question of the day, where I'm going to pass the microphone through my nose to our digital producer, Jake. There you go.

[Jose]

Well, today really should be a federal holiday. Cause it's Mariah Carey's birthday, she has no age.

[Jeffrey]

The diva herself.

[Jose]

That means somewhere right now, a high pitched whistle note just shattered a wine glass for no reason. And a Christmas song just made another billion dollars in the middle of March.

[Vanessa]

Oh, wow.

[Host Jeff]

Good for her.

[Jose]

But how well do you really know the Queen of Divas? Sure, you've butchered her songs in the shower for decades, but do you really appreciate her? We're gonna find out during a special All I want for trivia is clues edition of plenty of 20. Say a number. One through 20. I'll give you a multiple choice question about Mariah Carey and her extraordinary life. You just have to answer correctly to stay in the game. All right, let's start with the woman who first learned about Mariah through her performance as Mayor McCaskill in the Lego Batman movie. That's Alexis.

[Alexis]

Am I supposed to understand? Okay, anyways, three.

[Jose]

Before becoming a superstar, Mariah Carey had some very normal jobs. Which one did she actually have? Was she A, a waitress, B, a coat check girl, or C, a dressed up elf for mall Santa?

[Jeffrey]

The irony.

[Alexis]

I know that would be perfect. That's why I think Jake made it up.

[Brooke]

Or the inspiration.

[Ashton]

Mmm.

[Alexis]

Coat check girl. I mean, if you work at like a Fancy event center for sure they would have you up front doing it if you're pretty. I'm going to go coat check girl.

[Host Jeff]

Yeah, interesting.

[Jose]

Waitresses can't be pretty.

[Alexis]

They can.

[Brooke]

I heard the same thing. Jake.

[Jose]

Coat check girl is correct.

[Jeffrey]

Offensive, but correct.

[Jose]

Yeah, which is all that matters because we're moving on to Brooke. Alexis. Got that right. Brooke, I need a number, please.

[Brooke]

Oh, I bet Mariah's favorite number. Actually, don't know. We'll go seven.

[Jose]

Might be spoiling my questions. Brooke. Mariah Carey is known for her insane whistle notes. But roughly how many octaves can she sing? Is it 5, 7 or 12? And being able to communicate with dolphins.

[Brooke]

How many octaves can a normal person sing? I don't actually know. I don't know what Jeff.

[Host Jeff]

I think the average person is like three to four octaves.

[Brooke]

Okay, so even five would be impressive.

[Host Jeff]

Five is still like wow.

[Brooke]

Okay. And seven would be 12. Oofta. 12 feels impressive. Let's go 12. Let's go the highest.

[Jose]

Brooke wants a dozen.

[Host Jeff]

She can't have it.

[Jose]

I'm sorry, it's seven.

[Host Jeff]

I don't think there's even 12 octaves on a piano.

[Brooke]

I don't know, maybe she had a really long piano.

[Jose]

Jose, we're over to you. 3 and 7 are off the board.

[Host Jeff]

11.

[Jose]

In 2001, Mariah decided to bankroll a movie based on her life. Currently it sits at 6% on the rotten tomato meter. What was the name of this ill fated film? Was it Butterfly Dreams through the Rain Glitter or Turner and Hooch?

[Jeffrey]

Wasn't that with Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson?

[Brooke]

No, Turner and Hooch was Tom Hanks.

[Jeffrey]

I think it's the first. You know what? I think it's glitter and my heart is screaming glitter right now.

[Jose]

You should get that looked at after I give you that point. Glitter is the movie.

[Host Jeff]

Only 6% of Rotten Tomatoes.

[Brooke]

We should all watch it.

[Jeffrey]

That would be a fun watch. Yeah, if we could last.

[Jose]

It's Mariah Carey's birthday, so we're doing Mariah trivia. Alexis has gotten hers right, Brooke got hers wrong, Jose got his right. And we're over to Jeffrey, please. Jeffrey. A number, sir?

[Host Jeff]

Jeffrey will take number two.

[Jose]

What nickname does Mariah Carey use for her fan base? Is it the Lambs, The Butterflies or Mariah's Minions?

[Jeffrey]

Kind of cute though.

[Jose]

Despicable.

[Host Jeff]

Mimi, I mean, not to hate on her, but these aren't as clever fan nicknames as we hear from most of the other artists.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, like Beyhives, Arianators.

[Host Jeff]

Okay, Lambs they're not kosher, so I'm gonna say no to that one. Butterflies. I'm not sure if they're kosher, so I'm gonna keep them in the game.

[Brooke]

I don't think we're eating butterflies.

[Host Jeff]

Well, maybe you aren't not supposed to. Mariah's minions. It just sounds the lamest. I have to go in right in the middle with butterflies.

[Jose]

Butterflies. I'm sorry. The lambs. Really what Mariah calls her fan base.

[Host Jeff]

They're very sweet people.

[Brooke]

I think it's because they follow her along with no question.

[Host Jeff]

Yeah, you're all sacrifice themselves.

[Jose]

All right, this brings us to a tiebreaker between Alexis and Jose.

[Host Jeff]

Alexis, thank you. Dramatic.

[Jose]

Thank you. That's perfect. Alexis, we're gonna go to you. If you get this right, you'll win. If you get it wrong, Jose's taking home the crown. Now, Mariah Carey had a hit song called Obsessed, widely believed to be about which rapper she had a public feud with. Was it Eminem, Jay Z, or both of the Island Boys?

[Host Jeff]

Do you know this song, Alexis?

[Brooke]

Yes.

[Host Jeff]

How does it go?

[Jeffrey]

I thought it was about Nikki.

[Brooke]

I do know it's the. Why are you so obsessed? Jeff Whitewater.

[Alexis]

Yeah, that one.

[Host Jeff]

That was a treat for everybody.

[Brooke]

Hey, that was one octave.

[Host Jeff]

That was good.

[Brooke]

I think I hit more than one.

[Alexis]

Let's go, Eminem.

[Brooke]

All right, Lance.

[Jose]

It was Eminem.

[Host Jeff]

Alexis.

[Jose]

And that means you've won today's edition of plenty. Up 20.

[Brooke]

Are you a lamb?

[Host Jeff]

So Alexis gets to choose who gets shocked. Today, they're gonna be singing a Mariah Carey song, We Belong Together. Who's it gonna be?

[Alexis]

Brooke, I wanna hear you hit all 12 octaves.

[Host Jeff]

Oh, gosh.

[Brooke]

When you left I lost a part of me it's just so hard to believe Come back, baby, please Baby we belong together really reached that second octave there.

[Host Jeff]

That was your shock collar. Question of the day.

[Show Announcer]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Host Jeff]

It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And it's the opening weekend of baseball season.

[Brooke]

So awesome.

[Host Jeff]

For all the fans out there, this is awesome news. You made it through the winter, you got to spring. Enjoy it. It's still America's pastime, right?

[Jeffrey]

Of course it is.

[Host Jeff]

Sort of, yeah. For all you tiktokers out there who are just going to the games because of the new 999 Baseball Challenge, you're gonna need more than luck to pull it off.

[Brooke]

Okay, remind me what that is. That's hot dogs, beers.

[Jeffrey]

It's hot dogs and beers each inning. I think, Jeff, because if you haven't heard.

[Host Jeff]

It's a real thing. People on TikTok are challenging each other to consume nine beers and nine hot dogs over a nine inning baseball game,

[Brooke]

which you have to plan ahead because they're not serving in the last innings.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yeah, very true. Actually, that's a good point.

[Host Jeff]

They are thinking ahead because instead of running away from this, the stadiums themselves are actually collabing. And I'm gonna show you a picture. It'll be up on the Brooke and Jeffrey Insta stories. If you're a true fan, you'll follow us there at Brooke and Jeffrey.

[Brooke]

But what, are they just giving away themed puke buckets? Is that the point?

[Host Jeff]

That's probably what they should do. But no, what they're doing is this 999 challenge carrying boxes that comes with nine mini hot dogs and nine flights of beers. And they did partner with Joey Chestnut, the competitive eater, to do this promotion.

[Brooke]

Okay, these are tiny. This makes it more doable. Like, there's probably four sips in each beer.

[Host Jeff]

It's still overwhelming. Just the size of that box is huge.

[Brooke]

It's cool.

[Jeffrey]

It's cool to carry around. Like, you want people to see you holding the box and they're like, oh, you're doing the challenge.

[Brooke]

I would do this challenge if this is what we're talking about, the box with your kids.

[Host Jeff]

It costs anywhere between 55 and $60. But that's the cost of a normal hot dog in a beer at a stadium anyway, so bargain.

[Brooke]

Some people thought 999 was the price of the.

[Host Jeff]

But six different major league baseball parks are doing this. Of course, one of them is Philadelphia because the fans there aren't rowdy enough. So for the people who are just kind of me on the sport of baseball, this is something fun for you to do at the games.

[Jeffrey]

Now, who's gonna be the first stadium to do vodka shots?

[Brooke]

Oh, Geez, Jose.

[Host Jeff]

The 999 challenge was too easy.

[Brooke]

This isn't football.

[Host Jeff]

All right, Laser Stories coming up next.

[Jeffrey]

Hello, it's Laser Stories.

[Host Jeff]

It's the radio segment that came out with a new sound effect machine for bed. But instead of whale noises or waves crashing, it plays famous celebrity swearing at you while you're still awake.

[Brooke]

I love it.

[Host Jeff]

Set it to Gordon Ramsay, Kitchen Nightmares edition, and let him shame you to sleep, you pathetic, driveling insomniac. I've seen crackheads doze off faster. It's 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 snooze losers just don't. This first laser story is out of Washington state. There's a man named Donald Parks who's just been arrested for the 98th time.

[Jeffrey]

Jeez, why do they let him out?

[Brooke]

Is that a world record? It is.

[Host Jeff]

You know, do you get some sort of plaque when you reach your 100th arrest?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, it's like YouTube. They give you some kind of like, logo.

[Host Jeff]

Yeah, something like that.

[Brooke]

If he's like under 98, it's more than once a year.

[Jeffrey]

He gets arrested constantly there.

[Host Jeff]

It's his own tradition. Regardless, this time he led officers on a high speed chase after stealing thousands of dollars worth of merchandise from several stores.

[Jeffrey]

Ain't nobody got time for that.

[Brooke]

This has never worked out for you before.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, he gets out and does it again.

[Vanessa]

Like, come on.

[Host Jeff]

You gotta love a guy that doesn't give up, though. The cops had to call off the chase due to the extremely reckless behavior he was exhibiting on the roads, but tracked Donald down a little while later and apprehended him.

[Brooke]

Just have his own, like, yeah, like the. All the other 97 times.

[Host Jeff]

The police found a bunch of stolen merchandise and drugs while searching his truck. And get this, they also found a custom bong device actually built into the dash so he could comfortably smoke drugs while driving. I am on a drug.

[Jeffrey]

It's called.

[Host Jeff]

Charlie sheen is a four time convicted felon. He has 27 misdemeanor convictions across those 97 prior arrests.

[Brooke]

You're right, Jose. They should have like some sort of Marriott rewards type of thing for the jail system. Like he'd be a platinum member.

[Jeffrey]

He's a platinum member for sure.

[Host Jeff]

He's now facing charges of dui, eluding police, and possession of narcotics. He just walks in.

[Jeffrey]

Hey, Sarah. Good to see you guys. How you doing?

[Brooke]

Oh, man, this cell again.

[Host Jeff]

This next laser story is out of the friendly skies. If you've ever been lucky enough to score an entire row to yourself on a flight. Yes, Then you'll definitely appreciate this. United just announced an upcoming new perk called United Relax Row, where you can book an entire row of three seats to turn into a couch.

[Jeffrey]

I see this in other airlines before

[Brooke]

I saw this pictures of this. It's like the footrest comes up and makes the whole thing like a flat bed. It's so amazing.

[Host Jeff]

Yeah, you can raise up those adjustable leg rests so that you could convert the row into a bed or some sort of couch, like surface for a couch. Cozy, stretching out.

[Alexis]

I remember the first time I saw someone laying across all three rows. I was like, we can do that.

[Jeffrey]

They don't kick you out.

[Host Jeff]

And it's not just that. They'll even give you a mattress pad, a blanket and two pillows. Plus, if you're traveling with kids, they'll toss in a plushie as well.

[Jeffrey]

I can see Brooke doing this with her whole family in one row. Michael and the kids all piled on.

[Brooke]

We always try to get the bulkhead in economy whenever we fly just because then you can and have a little more space. Kids can lay on the floor, which is not safe. But it's kind of like the seat belt rules my mom had when in the 80s. So kids are laying in the aisle.

[Host Jeff]

Yeah, but the thing is, you can't get it yet. United Relax row will be available starting next year on select flights. Each plane will have up to 12 of these brand new rows available.

[Brooke]

How much more are they going to charge us per se?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, it's going to be like first class.

[Host Jeff]

No word on how much it's going to cost. Although, let's be honest, you know, it's not going to be cheap. And they also haven't said how the booking will work, if they'll make seats in these rows available individually or if they're going to sell them as a unit.

[Brooke]

That'd be so wild. You have a partner, you and your husband, and then somebody's in the middle row.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, you guys put your legs over my lap.

[Brooke]

I guess we're all snuggling.

[Host Jeff]

Well, we will keep you updated on more details as they come. This next laser story is out of movie mayhem. Oh, it's a funny gimmick to watch the movie Jaws while floating in a pool or at a water park.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I've seen that.

[Host Jeff]

But Volente Beach Resort in Lake Travis, Texas, has taken that experience to an entirely new level because people can buy tickets to the event called Jaws. On the water, you're given an inner tube to float in the middle of a dark lake water while watching on a massive screen. All right, but the catch, at any point you could be dragged under the surface.

[Brooke]

No way. How the company get real sharks.

[Jeffrey]

Did they come on?

[Host Jeff]

Not sharks, but they did hire divers to swim around during the film and scare viewers. While at some points you might just feel a fin nick the bottom of your feet. At the most intense part of the movie, the divers will grab your legs and pull you under.

[Vanessa]

Terrifying.

[Jeffrey]

They should have sharks fins on the divers.

[Brooke]

Are you disappointed? If you're the person who doesn't get pulled under like I was waiting for

[Jeffrey]

that or you're finally about to kiss her and then they pull you.

[Host Jeff]

The tickets are 35 bucks and sold out in literally seconds. So why such a high demand? Psychologists call this controlled extreme, a way to pretend to experience death in order to reset your accumulated anxiety.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's where we are with anxiety in society.

[Jeffrey]

Let's fake die.

[Host Jeff]

And then after the movie, patrons say they've never felt more alive. Though many on social media argue you couldn't pay them enough to attend. One person said, if I was invited, the water would be a whole lot browner by the end of the show.

[Jeffrey]

I just be holding on for dear life the whole time.

[Brooke]

Jose would be crying the whole time. Don't get me.

[Jeffrey]

Don't get me.

[Host Jeff]

Let's go to your final laser story out of Trent Town. What do you think of this trend? Some couples are passing on expensive engagement rings and opting to spend the money on a vacation instead. Oh, yeah.

[Brooke]

Oh, I love it. I think the engagement ring thing is just a big marketing ploy.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, it was like, yeah, De Beers or somebody.

[Brooke]

All of it. Yeah.

[Host Jeff]

It's not even an early honeymoon. It's an engagement moon. According to a new report, 65% of Americans say that engagement rings have evolved from a traditional symbol of love into a financial burden. 26% of Gen Zers would rather pass on a pricey ring and just use the cash to go on a trip together. And 25% of those people say they just get matching tattoos instead. Even tattooed rings.

[Brooke]

Okay, let's not do that till after you've been married a while.

[Host Jeff]

How are you supposed to know that you're engaged to someone?

[Brooke]

Why do you have to broadcast it to everybody? I don't know. You can put. I had an engagement ring. That was a ring my mother in

[Host Jeff]

law made and you said such kind things about it.

[Brooke]

I loved it and I still have it. I just don't wear that much because it's long story, but.

[Host Jeff]

But you love it.

[Brooke]

Yeah. I can't wear it with my wedding band. Like, it's not like that. Traditional. That goes together.

[Host Jeff]

Yeah. So there's some new options coming down the pike. About half of younger Americans say they feel more pressure from social media and from society to get an expensive engagement ring rather than from their own family or their partner.

[Jeffrey]

Celebrities that have houses on their feet.

[Brooke]

Yeah. And then you see him get robbed.

[Host Jeff]

As for this guy, he's a traditionalist. Not only did he meet with the father of a pink sketcher to ask permission first, but he also showed him the Tongue ring that he wants to put on her.

[Brooke]

Oh, the tongue ring.

[Host Jeff]

Yeah. Very sweet. And that sound means Laser Stories has come to an end for the day. We'll do it again same time on Monday.

[Show Announcer]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Host Jeff]

Ah, radio. It's more than just a movie starring Cuba Gooding Jr. That got a 33% on rotten tomatoes.

[Brooke]

No, that was a great movie. That's a higher percent than the show would get on Rotten Tomatoes.

[Host Jeff]

I mean, radio's a thriving industry that provides daily entertainment to dozens of listeners over age 60.

[Brooke]

Literally killing Jake in the background.

[Jose]

Stop thinking about the movie.

[Host Jeff]

Look, if you somehow get a job in radio and manage to last more than one year in this industry, then you're gonna see some stuff which says a lot about Brooke, who's been working since she got out of college during the, what, Eisenhower administration, Watergate era, maybe? No, she's seen some things. And today we're asking her to peel back the curtain to share the top things she's learned in her career as a bubbly radio personality.

[Brooke]

I'm bubbly.

[Host Jeff]

You were at one point. We're gonna do it. What has Brooke learned about radio?

[Jeffrey]

Coming up. I think he's referring to the cocktail.

[Brooke]

That makes sense.

[Host Jeff]

It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And on this day, back in 1968, Brooke Fox was hired onto this radio show. She signed her first contract with a quill pen, had the station intern take her black and white monochrome portrait, hung it up in the lobby, and from that point on, her life was never the same. Wow. Not only has she been on the air doing this job for decades, but she's been part of Wacky stunts, remote broadcast gone awry, and even interviewed Apple Dapp from the Black Eyed Peas at Disneyland one time.

[Brooke]

I forgot about that.

[Host Jeff]

Which was her biggest claim to fame and what will ultimately be put on her tombstone.

[Brooke]

He's the only person that would talk to me on the red carpet.

[Host Jeff]

Brooke Fox is a true legend in her field. That's why today we're gonna focus on her storied past to find out what she's learned in this crazy, ever growing, never slowing industry that we call radio. So, Brooke, let's get to your list. What is the first thing that you've learned?

[Brooke]

Okay, one of the things I learned is that when you do a stunt for the show, when you think it's done, people can still be watching.

[Eric]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Host Jeff]

What do you mean?

[Brooke]

For example, we decided when I bought my very first house, I was 26 years old, paid zero down For a house. We're like, yes. We're gonna set up a Big Brother and we're gonna put webcams all over it.

[Eric]

Whoa.

[Brooke]

And the whole morning show is gonna live with me.

[Host Jeff]

Oh, sounds crazy. Feels invasive.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Problem was, is I was also secretly hooking up with my producer at the time, and I got caught on camera. Yeah, but just making out I had my clothes on.

[Jeffrey]

I was gonna say that's like, courage in this industry.

[Brooke]

Wow.

[Alexis]

And now you don't even invite us over.

[Brooke]

Yep.

[Jeffrey]

See, that's why she's looking up with one of them.

[Host Jeff]

You did learn something from that. That's cool. What else have you learned about working in radio?

[Brooke]

I learned that I never want to be in the military. Military?

[Host Jeff]

What makes you say that?

[Brooke]

Well, it's not because of, like, anything, but the food. Really? Truly.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, gone wrong.

[Brooke]

Yes. My dad was a Marine. Thank you for your service. I get it. But also, the food is terrible. And the very, very first week I was ever part of any radio show, they're like, all right, we're doing a stunt. You're going to eat MREs for a whole month.

[Ashton]

Oh, my God.

[Host Jeff]

Military food?

[Brooke]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

Powdered?

[Brooke]

No. They are wet packed, which makes it even grosser.

[Jeffrey]

It's like wet food for a cat.

[Brooke]

Kind of. I mean, the beef stew is not far from fancy cat. You're not lying.

[Jeffrey]

Come on, man.

[Brooke]

And the thing is, thinking back on it, it was, like, in March, so I'm not even. There's no Veterans Day. I don't know why we were even doing that.

[Jeffrey]

Slow day on the radio.

[Brooke]

I didn't question it, E. Meanwhile, nowadays

[Host Jeff]

we make Ashton eat Taco Bell for a month.

[Brooke]

Dude, that is like. I'm sorry, posh.

[Host Jeff]

You should be grateful, Ashton.

[Eric]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

I'm gonna bring you in an MRE and see how you feel.

[Host Jeff]

If you're just joining us, we are looking back on Brooke's illustrious extensive career in radio to find out what nuggets she's learned from this industry. What else, Brooke?

[Brooke]

That sometimes what you see in the news about celebrities kind of tracks with who they are.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, it's not a rumor.

[Brooke]

Yeah, that it's accurate.

[Eric]

Right?

[Brooke]

Like years before the scandal and before the lawsuits and the craziness, we got to interview Diddy at one of the stations.

[Host Jeff]

Is this another hidden camera inside your house reveal?

[Brooke]

No, no, no. He comes in with this huge entourage, right? And he is not nice. Just gonna say that.

[Jeffrey]

Shocking.

[Brooke]

Only is he a really bad interview, or maybe I'm just a bad interviewer. He kicks Us all out of the studio.

[Jeffrey]

Diva.

[Brooke]

And then proceeds, because the microphones are still on, my man proceeds to scream at his stylist at the top of his lungs for 15 minutes about paying his stylist 70 grand a year to only pick out T shirts.

[Jose]

Oh.

[Brooke]

I mean, more rage than I've ever heard anyone expel.

[Jeffrey]

But now you can relate because you're a stylist. You pay 70.

[Host Jeff]

You know what, that angle at the

[Jeffrey]

time, okay, that's actually why.

[Brooke]

Dude, it was wild. We had the audio of it. We recorded it, and our boss was like, you can't hear that.

[Jeffrey]

I'm like, nowadays we would.

[Host Jeff]

Because he's so nice on the making the band show. So that totally ruins him.

[Jeffrey]

How are the parties?

[Vanessa]

Yeah,

[Host Jeff]

she signed. She signed the NDA. She's not allowed to talk about it. What else have you learned?

[Brooke]

You know what? It's funny that you say that, because I've also learned that I am not cool enough to be invited to any drug parties. I am not cool enough. When I first started in the industry, I had a boss who would have these big dinners with record reps. And I would get to go to the dinner, but it was always at a hotel where the reps were staying. And they'd all go up to the hotel room, and then they'd come back down, and then they'd go up to the hotel room, and then they'd come back down. I had no idea.

[Ashton]

I had no idea.

[Brooke]

And I would just sit by myself at the table waiting for everyone to come back.

[Ashton]

She's like, I didn't know guys also

[Jeffrey]

go to the bathroom together so much.

[Brooke]

And then they would come back, and my boss would go. Everything on the menu. Literally, Literally. And then passed out in his dinner plate. What a time.

[Host Jeff]

It's those early mornings in radio.

[Jeffrey]

You get so tired.

[Brooke]

Must be it. Yeah.

[Host Jeff]

So far we learned four things. Do you have one more?

[Brooke]

Yes. To always be grateful for every listener.

[Host Jeff]

You guys.

[Brooke]

My very first fan I met in a little tiny town in Cheney, Washington. And she used to win prizes for us all the time. And she showed up at an event, and her name, her real name was Candy Penix. And she showed up with a shirt that had my head pictured all over it. My face. And it was the strangest and also most nice thing anyone's ever done for me.

[Host Jeff]

The fans.

[Brooke]

I remember you, Candy.

[Host Jeff]

I remember you, Candy. Is she still around?

[Brooke]

I don't know. I tried to look her up on Facebook, but I couldn't find anything inappropriate.

[Jeffrey]

Stuff pops up. Wait a Minute.

[Host Jeff]

Gotta clear your search history after that.

[Brooke]

So I appreciate every single person that's gotten us here.

[Ashton]

That was good.

[Host Jeff]

Wow, look at that. Those are the top things that Brooke has learned in her six decades working in radio.

[Brooke]

Six and a half.

[Host Jeff]

Six and a half. You make it look so easy, Brooke. Phone taps coming up right after this. It's almost time for your prank call to Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And going to work now is a lot different than it was a couple decades ago. At least that's what I hear from Brooke. I wasn't in the workforce. I was just a hopeful, young chiseled preteen at the time. But one of the perks that certain companies like to do now is bring your pet to work day. A lot of places do it. And in today's call, I will take full advantage of that. You're going to see how in your brand new phone tap right now, Brooke

[Show Announcer]

and Jeffrey's phone taps on the the twenties.

[Eric]

Hello?

[Host Jeff]

Hi, I'm calling from insurance. My name is Denny Plopkins. Is this Leslie?

[Vanessa]

It is. Hi.

[Host Jeff]

Hi, Leslie. I'm just calling to follow up on an insurance claim that you made with us regarding an incident with your car.

[Vanessa]

Yes.

[Host Jeff]

Okay, now before we proceed, just so you know, no official decisions have been made yet on who's at fault. So.

[Eric]

Okay.

[Host Jeff]

I'm here to get the full story of what happened from your perspective.

[Vanessa]

Okay, so I was driving and I

[Eric]

was going the speed limit. Actually a couple miles under the speed limit.

[Host Jeff]

Go ahead.

[Vanessa]

Do you have your dog?

[Host Jeff]

I do, yeah. It's take your pet to work day here.

[Vanessa]

That's so nice. Oh my God, I love that.

[Host Jeff]

Stop it.

[Ashton]

Let's go, let's go.

[Host Jeff]

Down, down. No, Daddy's trying.

[Vanessa]

Oh my goodness.

[Host Jeff]

Okay. I'm sorry about that, Leslie.

[Vanessa]

Nope, no problem at all.

[Eric]

I love dogs.

[Host Jeff]

So I'm sorry. It totally interrupted your story. You said you were going 20 over the speed limit and.

[Vanessa]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[Eric]

I said.

[Vanessa]

I said I was going under the speed limit.

[Host Jeff]

Oh my goodness.

[Ashton]

Cheryl.

[Vanessa]

Ah.

[Ashton]

Cheryl,

[Brooke]

no.

[Jeffrey]

Down, birdie.

[Vanessa]

What on earth?

[Host Jeff]

Down, birdie.

[Eric]

Oh my God. Are you okay?

[Jeffrey]

Get over here.

[Host Jeff]

I'm so sorry about that.

[Vanessa]

Those things can really hurt you. What kind of bird was that? It just. It just loose in your office.

[Host Jeff]

Oh, no, no, no. That's my bird. It's an African gray parrot.

[Eric]

Oh my goodness.

[Host Jeff]

Remember, it's take your pet to work day. Okay, Yeah, I was trying to get my assistant Cheryl to come over and take care of him.

[Vanessa]

So how many pets did you today?

[Host Jeff]

Just a couple.

[Vanessa]

Just a couple.

[Host Jeff]

There's no rules limiting the number of pets you can bring in on take your pet to work day, so I just thought I'd bring the whole family. Oh, Whiskers.

[Vanessa]

Hey, maybe you should just call me

[Eric]

back when it's not so chaotic over there.

[Host Jeff]

No, I. I think I'm staying on track. You had some incident driving your car. I think we covered that, so just keep going.

[Eric]

I mean, I.

[Vanessa]

It wasn't really my incident. I was doing everything right. I was driving the speed limit. I was actually a couple of miles under, as I mentioned earlier.

[Host Jeff]

Oh, Jerry. Jerry, stay over in your court.

[Vanessa]

Jerry.

[Jose]

Jerry.

[Host Jeff]

Yeah, sorry. Jerry's my goat.

[Vanessa]

What kind of car do you drive, Just out of curiosity? I want a visual for myself.

[Host Jeff]

Leslie, you're trying to get me off my game, remember? We're not talking about my car. We're talking about your car, the one you crashed.

[Vanessa]

Excuse you?

[Eric]

No.

[Host Jeff]

Well, you haven't really told me much about your incident. You just said that.

[Vanessa]

Why don't we finish the list of pets, and then maybe I can tell you what happened.

[Host Jeff]

Oh, I forgot that I brought you today. No, no, no.

[Ashton]

Guys, be nice.

[Host Jeff]

Remember what we talked about before we came to work Inside.

[Ashton]

No inside voices.

[Host Jeff]

Roscoe. Roscoe. Okay, get away from Jerry. No, you. Cheryl, I'm gonna need some help over here.

[Vanessa]

This is out of control. No way you're at a national insurance company. Like a proper office job? You have an assistant?

[Host Jeff]

Yes, her name's Cheryl, and she's doing a mediocre job at best, but yes.

[Jeffrey]

Wow.

[Host Jeff]

Would you like to speak with her?

[Vanessa]

I think I would. I'm concerned for her safety.

[Host Jeff]

One of the clients wants to talk to you. Cheryl.

[Eric]

Oh, my God.

[Host Jeff]

Okay, come on.

[Vanessa]

No way.

[Host Jeff]

That is her.

[Eric]

The cow?

[Jeffrey]

Yep.

[Eric]

Oh, my God.

[Host Jeff]

She doesn't believe that you're really my assistant.

[Eric]

Cheryl.

[Ashton]

No.

[Host Jeff]

Oh, well, now she's really not gonna believe that. I don't want to come down there

[Vanessa]

and meet the elephant.

[Host Jeff]

I feel like you're figuring out this is a prank call.

[Vanessa]

There's no way.

[Host Jeff]

Yeah, because my real name is Jeff. From the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Vanessa]

What? On Twitter, this is the most bizarre.

[Host Jeff]

Your best friend Jules wanted to set you up for this.

[Vanessa]

What? Why?

[Host Jeff]

She said that the two of you mess with each other all the time, and she thought your recent car incident would be a perfect chance to get back at you.

[Vanessa]

I was like, what is happening right now?

[Host Jeff]

Was it my African Grey Parrot that put it over the top, or was it the elephant, honestly.

[Ashton]

Down, girl.

[Jeffrey]

Down.

[Host Jeff]

We'll get a peanut later.

[Vanessa]

It was the cow, right? Now, there's no way. I've seen what cows do. There's no way.

[Host Jeff]

Most cows may be, but Cheryl is my assistant. She's well trained. Yes, you are a good girl, aren't you? I'm gonna milk you later.

[Jeffrey]

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

[Show Announcer]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Host Jeff]

They used to have a game show called Name that Tune.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah.

[Host Jeff]

I think they even brought it back recently where they play a snippet of a song, and the two contestants would wager basically, like, oh, I could guess that song in five seconds. And the other would go, oh, yeah. Well, I. I could guess it in four.

[Brooke]

Dude, my mom loved that game. She's like, two notes. I got it in two notes.

[Host Jeff]

Well, if we were playing that game on our show, it would be. I could ruin my own date in three seconds.

[Ashton]

Oh, yeah?

[Host Jeff]

Well, I bet I could blow it in under two.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yeah?

[Ashton]

Well, look at this.

[Host Jeff]

Well, you're gonna be shocked when you hear the briefest conversation our listener had to end the evening that instantly brought it to a screeching halt. Even you're gonna be impressed when you hear your brand new second date update. Date next.

[Show Announcer]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Brooke]

Second date update.

[Host Jeff]

If you're a guy and you're out on a first date having dinner, what are some possible distractions that could derail you that you got to stay away from?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, that's a good question.

[Host Jeff]

Like one, A rat runs across the floor in front of you.

[Brooke]

I think. Alert everyone.

[Host Jeff]

Pretend you never saw it. No, it's probably the owner. Owner's pet. It helps him cook the food. Like in ratatouille. All is good.

[Brooke]

Okay, let's go somewhere else.

[Host Jeff]

Or distraction two. Let's say the waitress is a little b L, busty and lonely. Look at her.

[Jeffrey]

But she's a B.

[Alexis]

Don't call her that.

[Brooke]

To her, you don't.

[Host Jeff]

Exactly.

[Brooke]

How do you know she's lonely? By looking at you.

[Host Jeff]

Oh, you can tell Brooke. Yeah, they have that lonely look in their eye. You just keep your eyes on the ground when you put in your order. And our listener Eric had a different type of distraction that he had to deal with.

[Brooke]

Let me guess. A busty rat.

[Host Jeff]

Is it maybe that? Or could it even be worse than the ones I mentioned? Possibly. Eric, welcome to the show, man.

[Eric]

Hey, thanks for taking my call.

[Host Jeff]

Absolutely. We'll get to the distraction on your date in a second. First, tell us about the girl. That you met.

[Eric]

Her name's Vanessa. She. She works in the beauty industry and,

[Brooke]

like, she's a esthetician. You mean like that?

[Eric]

Yeah, and she is gorgeous. In fact, like, I was kind of surprised that she said yes to the date.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's cute.

[Eric]

And so I thought, you know, I gotta turn on the charm. So I took her out.

[Jose]

Okay.

[Eric]

And I wanted to take her to this bar and grill.

[Brooke]

Applebee's. I love that place.

[Eric]

It's not Applebee's. It's not Applebee's. It's got really good vibes.

[Vanessa]

All right.

[Host Jeff]

All right. And how was Vanessa when she showed up?

[Eric]

She looked really cute and really friendly and approachable. And this thing happened.

[Host Jeff]

Okay. The distraction.

[Eric]

It wasn't a rat or any of that. Like, 20 minutes after we sat down, someone walks in to the restaurant.

[Host Jeff]

Who is it?

[Eric]

It's my ex girlfriend.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my God.

[Host Jeff]

I thought you said there wasn't a rat.

[Jeffrey]

What are the odds?

[Brooke]

So do you just. I mean, dang, is it a big restaurant? Can you ignore her?

[Eric]

It's not a big place. And she was with her guy. She was with her new guy. It was pretty obvious.

[Alexis]

When's the last time you saw her? Like, has it been years or. It's, like, recent?

[Eric]

It was about six months.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Host Jeff]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Enough to be awkward.

[Eric]

And then I look over like. Like a few minutes later. And, you know, I'm trying not to look over, but I see that she's, like, sucking down margaritas and, like, she's laughing and she's having a great time. I know.

[Jeffrey]

Brooke is a great, great. She's having fun.

[Brooke]

Well, you know how it is. Like, when they come in and they're doing the extra loud laugh just to, like, get your attention. And I mean, it sucks for you because it ruins your whole date. Even if you don't say anything, you're distracted, you're no longer fully present for.

[Alexis]

And then if you mention your ex, then it sounds like you have a

[Host Jeff]

lot of drama, but did that come up? Did your date, Vanessa know that your ex was in the restaurant too?

[Eric]

I told her. I said, look. Yeah, my ex girlfriend just came in.

[Host Jeff]

What was her reaction?

[Eric]

She was, I don't know, intrigued.

[Vanessa]

And I was like, don't look, don't look.

[Eric]

But she looked anyway.

[Jeffrey]

Of course I want to see.

[Eric]

And she's like, oh, wow, she's really pretty. Like, okay. Anyway, let's talk about you.

[Brooke]

Why didn't you say, let's go find another spot?

[Eric]

Oh, I offered that. But Vanessa, she was like, no, no, it's all right. It's all right. Like, we were here first, and she had a point.

[Vanessa]

Yeah.

[Host Jeff]

If your date wanted to stay through it, then that's on her. Were you to get things back on track?

[Eric]

Well, that's the thing. I felt like the vibe of the day kind of changed from there, and, like, it didn't. Didn't ever go back.

[Brooke]

Okay. Are you over your ex?

[Eric]

Well, yeah. I mean, we're not together question.

[Brooke]

I mean, it just. I mean, I think that makes it even trickier, right? Because, like, maybe Vanessa picked up on that.

[Eric]

Well, that's the thing at the end. I mean, there was this thing that happened that. Another thing at the end of the day, it's like we're walking out. And I guess I just wanted to show Vanessa that I was sort of like, above it all. And so I approached my ex girlfriend's table and I said, hey, hope you have a great night. It was good to see you. And I said, your hair looks great. And then I was like, I know. I was like, why would I say that?

[Vanessa]

But she changed her hair.

[Eric]

She changed her hair and I thought it looked good and it just came out.

[Host Jeff]

Okay, well, that's the part you probably should omit from there. Did Vanessa hear you compliment your ex girlfriend's hair?

[Brooke]

Yeah. Where was she standing even?

[Eric]

I don't know. She might have. Like, she was really close to me.

[Jeffrey]

She definitely heard it.

[Brooke]

See? And you didn't introduce Vanessa. I mean, that's the baller move, right? Hey, Vanessa.

[Host Jeff]

This is my upgrade.

[Eric]

I should have done that. Yeah, I just panicked and I was like. I just conversated with like, three or four seconds, and then I left. I was out.

[Brooke]

And I'm sure you're all flustered now, walking Vanessa to her car.

[Jeffrey]

Your hair also looks nice, by the way.

[Host Jeff]

What happened when you leave?

[Eric]

We hugged in the parking lot and. And that was it.

[Jose]

Yeah.

[Host Jeff]

Just. But from the way that he's talking about it, you can tell that he regrets how he handled the situation.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, totally.

[Brooke]

Sure. I mean, it's totally unfortunate. Do you think the date would have gone flawlessly if your ex hadn't walked into that restaurant?

[Eric]

Yeah, it just. It sucks that that happened, but it feels like it's out of my. Like, it's out of my control right now.

[Host Jeff]

Yeah. That wasn't your fault. And as long as you didn't, like, go home and post a long tick tock or Instagram post about seeing your ex and how great she looked, but

[Brooke]

you're past it now, so then you look Pathetic. To two women, not just one.

[Host Jeff]

Exactly. As long as you didn't do that, then we might have a chance to save this for you.

[Jeffrey]

Please tell us you didn't do that.

[Eric]

That I didn't do that. Exactly.

[Brooke]

Exactly.

[Host Jeff]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Post it on MySpace.

[Host Jeff]

Well, whatever.

[Brooke]

One of those where we find out something.

[Host Jeff]

Whatever damage you did to yourself, we're gonna have to undo it when we come back. Get you your second date update right after this. Hold on.

[Show Announcer]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Brooke]

Second date update.

[Host Jeff]

Let's recap. Eric's first date, for those of you just joining. Eric met a woman named Vanessa for dinner recently. She's in the beauty industry, and for the first 20 minutes, everything was great.

[Brooke]

It was perfect.

[Host Jeff]

Even conversation was flowing. The connection was easy. It was all gravy until Eric's ex girlfriend walked in and sat down within eyeshot.

[Jeffrey]

Womp, womp. What are the odds, man?

[Vanessa]

Yes.

[Host Jeff]

So vibes changed after that, and he

[Brooke]

had to admit that his ex was there.

[Host Jeff]

He did.

[Brooke]

He was so weird.

[Host Jeff]

He told Vanessa. Not sure if that was a bad idea or a horrible idea, but he did it.

[Brooke]

I mean, he had no other choice.

[Alexis]

The worst idea is what happened after.

[Host Jeff]

Yeah, it was on his mind. And that's why right before he left, he stopped by his ex's table and told her she has nice hair.

[Jeffrey]

And that's the bad part.

[Host Jeff]

So great date if it was just Eric and his ex. But Vanessa was present too and isn't calling him back. I wonder why that could be.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Host Jeff]

And as a joke earlier, I said, eric, you didn't post a tick tock about how good your ex looked that night, and your answer was not exactly.

[Brooke]

Yeah, what did you post?

[Host Jeff]

What does that mean?

[Eric]

Well, I didn't. I didn't post anything. I just. I. I did text my ex one time.

[Brooke]

What did you text her?

[Eric]

I'm so sorry for the awkward encounter, and I didn't know what to say.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. That's actually not bad. It could have gone way worse.

[Brooke]

Did your ex respond?

[Eric]

She gave me a thumbs up. Oh.

[Host Jeff]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Host Jeff]

Well, she's the sexiest of all the things you could write back.

[Brooke]

She's over it. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, she doesn't like you.

[Host Jeff]

Unless they were both into thumb play. You don't know Brooke.

[Jeffrey]

Ooh, it's their thing.

[Brooke]

What is? I don't. I'm not even going down that.

[Host Jeff]

You're not advanced enough to get to that stage of romance.

[Jeffrey]

Nobody play thumb wars with Jeff.

[Host Jeff]

Yeah, definitely don't like any of my posts that I sent to you. Because I'll read it in a different way. But let's find out what Vanessa thinks. I'm going to dial her number and we'll see what she has to say. You ready, Eric?

[Eric]

I'm ready.

[Host Jeff]

All right, thumbs up to that. Here we go.

[Eric]

Hello?

[Host Jeff]

Hey, is this Vanessa?

[Vanessa]

Yes.

[Host Jeff]

Hey, Vanessa. Thank you for answering.

[Jeffrey]

Yes.

[Brooke]

You sound busy. Sorry.

[Vanessa]

Yeah, but who's this?

[Host Jeff]

We don't want to take up a lot of your time. We're a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Vanessa]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Good morning.

[Host Jeff]

Just to cut right to it, we're doing a segment called the Second Date Update. Trying to help out one of our listeners that you went out with recently.

[Vanessa]

Yeah. Who?

[Host Jeff]

It's a guy named Eric. Very sweet sounding guy.

[Vanessa]

Oh, so you like, talk to him or whatever. So you know what happened?

[Brooke]

Oh, you're right to the point. And I like that about Vanessa. There's no sugar coating anything here.

[Host Jeff]

All that we know that happened is Eric's ex showed up in the middle of the date.

[Vanessa]

Oh. Yeah, I actually honestly think he handled that really well. Oh, really?

[Brooke]

Oh, that's good. He was worried that he was like, awkward about it and.

[Vanessa]

Yeah, no, he was a hundred percent honest and upfront with me about it.

[Eric]

Like.

[Vanessa]

Oh, he was really classy. He even said goodbye to her to prove that he's above all the drama.

[Brooke]

So you were. You like.

[Host Jeff]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

You liked that?

[Vanessa]

I thought it was really mature.

[Eric]

Absolutely.

[Host Jeff]

I was not expecting that.

[Brooke]

We thought for sure you were gonna say that. He didn't seem like he was over his ex or something like that.

[Vanessa]

Oh, no. He told me some stories and. Oh my God, that woman is a piece of work.

[Brooke]

Whoa. Oh, oh, so he even shared some crazy ex stories, huh? So is that what upset you?

[Vanessa]

I'm not upset. Why do you keep asking that?

[Brooke]

I meant, like, why you're not calling him back.

[Host Jeff]

Yeah, we're trying to figure out what's happen happened with you since the date with Eric.

[Vanessa]

Yeah, I mean, so we said goodbye in the parking lot, but I stayed because I wanted to follow his ex home

[Eric]

way.

[Alexis]

You mentioned that.

[Brooke]

What do you mean?

[Host Jeff]

Just to make sure she got home safe.

[Vanessa]

Well, no, I. I wanted to make sure that what happened to Eric didn't happen to the guy that she was on a date with.

[Brooke]

Wait, what happened to Eric? What was his story?

[Vanessa]

Well, it's his story, so I don't really want to share it, but like, it sounds like she traumatized him.

[Host Jeff]

So what happened when you got back to where she was going?

[Vanessa]

Well, he Dropped her off and she kissed him. But he did not go inside. And so I went up to talk to the guy.

[Brooke]

What?

[Vanessa]

When he went back to his car.

[Brooke]

Wait, wait, wait.

[Ashton]

Whoa.

[Brooke]

Okay. You parked, got out of your car, approached his car in the dark?

[Vanessa]

Yeah, because I had to warn him. And I was like, what are you doing right now? Do you want to grab a drink with me?

[Host Jeff]

Wait, what?

[Ashton]

What's the goal by asking this guy out?

[Vanessa]

Because I wanted to warn him. Because, like, Eric told me all these stories and I needed time. If they weren't stories, I could just tell him on the street.

[Brooke]

You just met Eric. You don't know what's true, what's not true? It's a one sided story. Like, totally. Eric still alive. It's not like you're saving someone's life.

[Host Jeff]

So what happened when you went out and talked to the other guy?

[Vanessa]

I told him all the things about why they broke up and how she's a big time manipulator. And he was kind of like, maybe I can kind of see those signs or whatever. This was like, I think their second date. And I was like, okay.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, she's a bad person, I guess, but you don't know that.

[Vanessa]

I mean, I've been talking to Eric for like a week or so before our date, and he seemed like a trustworthy guy and I absolutely believe him. And so you've got to trust some people out there.

[Host Jeff]

For some reason, Brooke doesn't trust our own listener who just happens to be on the line right now quietly listening in on this phone call.

[Brooke]

I bet he is speechless right now

[Host Jeff]

because, yeah, he is there, actually. Vanessa on the phone right now.

[Vanessa]

Who is?

[Host Jeff]

Eric is.

[Eric]

Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't like sneak up on you, Vanessa, but, like, what? What? Why? Why did you. Why would you follow what?

[Vanessa]

I mean? You know the stories you told me. I had to save this guy from going through what you went through.

[Eric]

Wow. I didn't ask you to do that.

[Vanessa]

No, you didn't. But I feel like I needed to give him the heads up.

[Eric]

Well, I was trying to be honest with you, and now I feel like this could blow back on me.

[Jeffrey]

How?

[Host Jeff]

How, Eric?

[Brooke]

We mean, how Jeff? Of course the ex girlfriend's gonna find out about this.

[Vanessa]

No, he will not hear from her. I made him promise not to tell her anything. He stopped going on dates with her.

[Jeffrey]

We tricked everyone but the woman we've never spoken to.

[Brooke]

What did your ex do that was so awful?

[Eric]

We're on the radio. I'm not gonna say that.

[Vanessa]

But like, you telling me this stuff on our date is pretty much giving me permission to go and tell this.

[Eric]

No, it would be permission if you

[Vanessa]

told me you were gonna do that

[Eric]

and then I said yes.

[Vanessa]

That would be permission.

[Eric]

That's what permission is.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Vanessa]

You had already left though.

[Ashton]

Yeah.

[Host Jeff]

Superman doesn't ask for permission to save somebody's life when they're in danger.

[Jeffrey]

He just swoops in and saves them.

[Brooke]

Okay, Eric, honestly, was this guy in any danger because of your ex?

[Eric]

I don't think he was in danger.

[Host Jeff]

That's exactly what you said when you started to date her, bro. Wouldn't it have been nice if at the start of your last bad relationship, Vanessa had come up to you on date number two and been like, look, this girl is bad news for you. She is going to hurt you. And she would have been right?

[Eric]

I mean, maybe. Yeah, it was a pretty bad ending. And I guess that could have been good.

[Host Jeff]

See, clearly she has a heart of gold and wants to save men from terrible women. But I think we're missing the point.

[Brooke]

Is that what she's doing?

[Host Jeff]

If I'm just summarizing what I think

[Brooke]

I'm hearing, it's not like a glaring red flag that she's following strangers over the night with her car and interfering in relationship she knows nothing about.

[Host Jeff]

Okay, tomato, tomato. Brooke, I pretty much said the exact same thing. We're avoiding the main question here, and that's Vanessa. Why aren't you talking to Eric since that night?

[Vanessa]

Well, I was focusing on making sure that this guy was. Was okay.

[Host Jeff]

The other guy.

[Brooke]

Have you gone on more than one hangout with this guy?

[Vanessa]

Yeah, of course, he didn't believe me at the start, so like, I went to go talk to him again during the day.

[Eric]

Wait a second. So you are seeing my ex girlfriend's new boyfriend, Eric?

[Vanessa]

They went on two dates. That's not a boyfriend.

[Brooke]

Yeah, don't be crazy.

[Alexis]

She ended it for him, remember?

[Host Jeff]

Right. She's not seeing him. She's warning him.

[Vanessa]

In fact, I'm seeing him again tonight and I'm gonna warn him for a third time.

[Brooke]

Wow.

[Jeffrey]

Wait a minute.

[Brooke]

Sounds like he's enjoying the warning.

[Eric]

This doesn't sound right. There's something off here.

[Brooke]

You know what? Go with your gut, Eric.

[Jeffrey]

You're right.

[Host Jeff]

The thing that's off is that I haven't offered to send you two out on another date. Thank you for reminding me, Eric, because we would love to put up however much money it takes to get you two back together for one more meetup. I guess I should ask Vanessa. What do you think?

[Vanessa]

Listen, Eric, my focus right now is in this other guy, and once he 100% believes me not to go out with your ex, then I will focus on you.

[Host Jeff]

I don't know.

[Eric]

I don't know, Vanessa.

[Host Jeff]

Well, we're out of time, and it's sounding like it's a no for Eric. So instead, the gift cards are going to Vanessa and the dude that she followed home to save from dating your ex girlfriend. I don't think I've ever said those words in my life. Entire life. But I'm glad that I get to today, because at least it gives Jose hope that someday a woman might follow him home without asking.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, yeah, that's. That has to be how it goes down.

[Host Jeff]

Oh, so romantic.

[Show Announcer]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Host Jeff]

I would not be surprised if Vanessa hangs around that woman's apartment all next week. She might even move into the building with her just to warn any future. Future dudes that she stops by with. Don't date her. She's crazy. Trust me, I would know.

[Brooke]

We never asked. She did sound busy when we first called her. Like, she could have just actually been in her car outside of her apartment.

[Host Jeff]

Yeah, scoping out the place, ready to save any dudes from their own demise.

[Jeffrey]

It could get worse. Like, if the other girl sees her, then she's gonna start following her. Eventually, they're gonna stalk each other.

[Host Jeff]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

You know, I feel like he needs to call his ex and warn her.

[Host Jeff]

Yeah, it's always good when a crazy girl says, you know, that other girl girl is crazier than me. Look out. But there's a whole podcast full of crazy people going on even crazier dates. It's ours.

[Brooke]

Yeah, so go find the ones hosting that.

[Host Jeff]

You'll feel a little bit less crazy when you find us on Spotify, Apple, wherever you get yours. Brooke and Jeffrey's second date Update. Like, and subscribe. We got a text into 78592 that says, I don't think Jeff realizes how many of his parents parody songs my family listens to during our long road trips.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's awesome.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, wait a minute.

[Host Jeff]

We play them back to back to back.

[Brooke]

Oh, wow.

[Host Jeff]

Not because they're necessarily that funny. Oh, they're all right. But at least I don't have to play I Spy with my kids or listen to my wife complain about her sister for hours on end. So thank you, Jeff, and keep up the mid work.

[Brooke]

Mid, mid, mid, mid.

[Host Jeff]

Good to know that my music is keeping families together by preventing them from talking directly to each other.

[Jeffrey]

You're like a buffer.

[Host Jeff]

Maybe I can save you from having to suffer through more conversation with your immediate family members during my brand new song of the week. It's coming up right after this. It is time for my song of the Week. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Vanessa]

Yeah.

[Host Jeff]

And if you're like me, you recently turned the page on your Marie Curie centerfold calendar. Cause not only is it National Hot Female Scientist Month, it's also the start of spring.

[Brooke]

Yay.

[Host Jeff]

That's right. Spring has arrived. That magical time of year when you realize, oh, yeah, I'm allergic to everything. But spring is the season of regeneration, the season of. Of renewal. In the season for finally throwing out all the old crap that you don't need anymore that's just lying around your house.

[Jeffrey]

Sprinkling.

[Host Jeff]

You're digging through your cupboards. You're like, why did I even buy this mini donut maker? What was I thinking? Your closets are stuffed with empty Amazon boxes, and you've got a drawer full of Taco Bell hot sauce packets from three years ago.

[Jeffrey]

Everybody has that drawer, though.

[Brooke]

You're giving me anxiety thinking about all the cleaning I need to do.

[Host Jeff]

Oh, yeah, don't even get me started on cleaning with kids in the house.

[Jeffrey]

It's like a reverse statement.

[Host Jeff]

That's like brushing your teeth while eating Oreos.

[Brooke]

That is exactly what it is.

[Host Jeff]

What's the point? But I do think it's important and actually really healthy for everybody to take a day or a weekend to go through your house or your apartment or even brook one of your offshore factories to declutter, decontaminate, and just hit the reset on your living space. Give yourself a fresh new start with spring. Yeah.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Will someone do it for me?

[Alexis]

I love cleaning.

[Brooke]

I'll do it. Okay, sure.

[Host Jeff]

Bring someone in to do it. As long as it gets done. So I wanted to give everybody a fun little song that might inspire you to keep on scrubbing, keep on cleaning. And that's why instead of singing the classic smash mouth hit, I'm a Believer, it's Young Jeffries. I'm a spring cleaner.

[Brooke]

Okay? I mean, this sounds like motivation, and I'm here for it.

[Jeffrey]

Here we go.

[Host Jeff]

I'm a point when I'm ready points.

[Ashton]

My whole house been looking like a garbage pail.

[Host Jeff]

Still haven't taken down my Christmas tree,

[Ashton]

but the lights on it are so shiny, the stuff is getting smelly.

[Host Jeff]

Oh, no, wait, that's me. I gave Marie condo ptsd.

[Ashton]

But then the seasons changed Now I'm a spring cleaner Throwing away gift cards that expired I checked the road Ooh, right underneath I found an old wiener

[Host Jeff]

from last July My place looks like

[Ashton]

hoarders on amphetamines I haven't seen my cat in bout a month. Where are you, Luke? Skywhiskers? What's this old remote to?

[Host Jeff]

And why do I have three tossing out ziplocs full of batteries?

[Ashton]

Cause when the flowers came I bought a degreaser My old duvet I burned to save time rubber gloves Ooh, life is much sweeter While huffing cleaner like 409 spray bottle solo. I called up Cinderella cuz I've been wondering How'd she get forest creatures to help her clean? I sweep the floors all day My swiffer machine done more broom play than the cast of StopLife My vacuum sucks, my roomba's a quitter Ate so much litter it broke down and cried

[Jeffrey]

and

[Ashton]

so I called a ma and ordered a pizza she saw my place and flatly declined Most boys in my freezer yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah

[Eric]

and

[Ashton]

now I'm a freezer

[Host Jeff]

no, that pile's my dirty clothes this pile's only semi

[Ashton]

dirty A laundry room crime damned up like a a beaver so much when

[Host Jeff]

the garbage guy comes to my house he's gonna be like, holy.

[Ashton]

Sorry, trash guys more free than rum Screen up. Now I'm a spring cleaner.

[Host Jeff]

Yeah,

[Brooke]

I'd applaud but you'd spray me again.

[Ashton]

It's a spray bottle solo, dude, just

[Jeffrey]

do whatever he wants.

[Host Jeff]

Sorry, did I not mention there's a splash zone during this song that we. I'm sorry. It does smell a whole lot better in here.

[Jeffrey]

It does. That's true.

[Host Jeff]

So yeah, we kind of needed that. That was a new coffee.

[Ashton]

Song of the week.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God.

[Host Jeff]

You could text in 7592 and tell us what you thought about it.

[Jeffrey]

Watch it on YouTube.

[Brooke]

Everyone's gonna want to know where you got that spray bottle from because it literally shot. Yeah, that was fully a crush.

[Host Jeff]

Industrial strength. Yeah, you're not even gonna need to shower for like a month after this, so.

[Brooke]

Planning to anyway.

[Host Jeff]

Perfect. That's your song of the week.

[Show Announcer]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Host Jeff]

Just like the pimple on my forehead, Today's player is brand new.

[Brooke]

Is that why you're wearing a hat today?

[Host Jeff]

That's right. I had to pull it down a little lower. Her name is Amy. She's a first timer, but she's been listening to our show for over a decade now. She says she's not. Not good at trivia. But she wanted to play Brooke cuz quote, why not?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, good reason.

[Host Jeff]

Love that. Amy, welcome to the show.

[Vanessa]

Thank you, Amy.

[Brooke]

I'm distracted staring at Jeffrey trying to see where his pimple is, and I can actually kind of see a red area coming out from the bottom trying

[Vanessa]

to show itself to distract you.

[Brooke]

Pimple patches are cool now. Oh, yeah.

[Jose]

Two schools of thought.

[Vanessa]

Yeah.

[Host Jeff]

Okay, enough pimple talk. I think we need to get to trivia talk.

[Vanessa]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

All right, all right.

[Host Jeff]

Am cool with that or do you want to talk about this more?

[Vanessa]

No, I think I'm ready to move on.

[Host Jeff]

Good call. You got 30 seconds on the clock 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?

[Vanessa]

I am ready.

[Host Jeff]

You got this. Your time starts now. On this day in 2022, during the Oscars, Will Smith slapped what host? What country has the most people in the world with almost 1.5 billion apples float in water because it's 25 air. Do oranges float?

[Vanessa]

Yes.

[Host Jeff]

In 1971, the first video game ever created was based off of what sport? Tennis, bowling or golf?

[Vanessa]

Tennis.

[Host Jeff]

What color is the Pillsbury Doughboys scarf?

[Vanessa]

Blue.

[Host Jeff]

Oh, I liked. I liked how you passed on the ones early just to get to the ones you knew for sure. That was. Well done. Bring Brooke back into the studio here if she's willing to. She found a pimple or she found some ointment or something she wants to rub on me. Most likely inflamed. No, she's just looking at her phone. Anyway, Amy, since you're new, let's get to know you a little bit. It says on my screener that you work at home as an ambulance biller, you have a 22 year old son, and you enjoy hiking and camping. And your favorite segment on this show

[Vanessa]

is Second date Update.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, nice.

[Host Jeff]

Good call. Did you know that you can listen on our podcast too?

[Vanessa]

Yeah. Oh, yeah, I listen every morning, actually, on the app.

[Ashton]

Oh, cool.

[Host Jeff]

On the app.

[Brooke]

Our station app.

[Host Jeff]

Station app. You can go to Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your podcast. In fact, we recently ranked the number one show people listen to with the volume at zero, which is interesting. I didn't even know that they tracked that stuff.

[Ashton]

It counts, but there you go.

[Host Jeff]

Now we know something about you, Amy, and you've learned something about us.

[Vanessa]

Sounds good.

[Host Jeff]

All right, do you want to talk about pimples again or can we go to Brooke?

[Vanessa]

No, definitely not pimples we're going to

[Brooke]

go over to some thrilling conversation today, hasn't it?

[Host Jeff]

Brooke? Are you ready?

[Brooke]

I'm ready.

[Host Jeff]

Your time starts now. On this day in 2022, during the Oscars, Will Smith slapped what host, Chris Rock. What country has the most people in the world with almost 1.5 billion Indian apples float in water because it's 25% air. Do oranges float?

[Brooke]

No.

[Host Jeff]

In 1971, the first video game ever created was based off of what sport? Tennis, bowling or golf?

[Brooke]

Tennis.

[Host Jeff]

What color is the Pillsbury Doughboys scarf?

[Brooke]

Blue.

[Host Jeff]

Name the only vegetable that has petals, thorns and a heart.

[Brooke]

Artichoke.

[Host Jeff]

All right, we got it all in and it's time to head on over to the scoreboard to see how you bolt it with Jose.

[Jose]

Hey, do all of us a favor

[Host Jeff]

and go have a heart attack, you little rat faced.

[Jeffrey]

I feel like he's talking to me, like directly. Amy, you got three today.

[Vanessa]

Oh, yay.

[Host Jeff]

That's not bad, you rat face and rook.

[Ashton]

Yep, you got five.

[Brooke]

Holy cow.

[Host Jeff]

Amy, it was a good showing on your part, but it just wasn't quite enough. Let's go to the over the answers. On this day in 2022 during the Oscars, Will Smith slapped Chris Rock for mentioning his wife's name. The country with the most people in the world, almost 1.5 billion, is India, followed by China with 1.41 billion apples float in water because it's 25% air. Oranges also float. Their porous peels trap a lot of air in there.

[Brooke]

That makes sense.

[Host Jeff]

In 1919 71, first video game ever created was based off of tennis. It was the game Pong. The color of the Pillsbury Doughboy scarf is blue to cover the pimples on his chin. And the only vegetable that has petals, thorns and a heart are artichokes. So, Amy, I'm sorry wasn't enough to win today. But the good news is, just for playing, we're giving you a family four pack of tickets to Evergreen Speedway Macaroni kids night NASCAR season opener on on Saturday, April 4. It includes Figure 8 races, fireworks, Easter activities with golden eggs, candy and more.

[Vanessa]

Awesome. Thank you.

[Brooke]

Hey, we never heard. Does your 22 year old son also listen to the show?

[Vanessa]

He did. You know, we used to listen every morning on the way to elementary school.

[Brooke]

Okay, that was a long time ago.

[Jeffrey]

10 years ago.

[Host Jeff]

Yeah, and she kicked him out of the house when she stopped listening.

[Brooke]

There we go. That's a response.

[Host Jeff]

Good mom. Anyway, Amy, thanks for being on. I hope you had a good time. You can come back anytime you want to. Okay.

[Vanessa]

Thank you, everybody. Have a good day.

[Host Jeff]

Okay, but probably most likely during a trivia time. Yeah, feel free to call in, and Jose will chat with you whenever. Yeah, so we're gonna do Winbrooks Bucks same time on Monday.

[Show Announcer]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
