Transcript

[Brooke]

Hey, it's a big day today. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And of course we've got a full new hour for you.

[Jose]

Yes. Okay.

[Brooke]

But also we're going to go live on YouTube. Hey, today at 11:00am That's Pacific Time. Yes. Okay, 11:00am Pacific Time.

[Jose]

Specific time.

[Brooke]

Yeah, Pacific. That's the one.

[Jose]

And it's specific. We will be there at 11.

[Brooke]

That's true. I'd say it's YouTube.combrookeandjeffrey Again, that's YouTube.combrookeandJeffery and it is in the show notes here, isn't it?

[Alexis]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Brooke]

Okay, so you can find the link there as well. But before we get into it, we always love to start with a comment.

[Alexis]

Yes, Liam said. I love listening to you guys every day while I'm showering, eating, skateboarding, hanging out with my friends, being alone, sleeping, et cetera.

[Jake]

Oh, wow.

[Jeffrey]

So when we're not.

[Brooke]

Listen, I don't with you a lot.

[Alexis]

Yeah, we are. So, Liam, I better see you on that live today.

[Brooke]

And that was like a totally sick ollie that you pulled yesterday. Oh, no. Did that sound cool?

[Jose]

No. Liam, by the way, I've been playing a bunch of skate on my stream the game. So if you play skate, come join the stream.

[Brooke]

Okay. In real life on video games. Love it. All right, 11 o', clock, YouTube. If you're already here, stay here. That's again Pacific time for a YouTube live with us. And your full show starts right now.

[Jeffrey]

It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And we're gonna start with a good news story to get you going today.

[Brooke]

You found one?

[Jeffrey]

I did.

[Jose]

Good job.

[Jeffrey]

Put a smile on that face. It's about a 32 year old woman in Kentucky named Brianna Haines. Recently she ordered pizza from Little Caesars.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jose]

I love that place.

[Jeffrey]

She did the smart thing. She called ahead to place order for pickup.

[Brooke]

Oh, she called. Didn't even get online. Okay.

[Jeffrey]

And when she arrived to pick it up, she asked the employee if she could get some extra sauce. They told her it's a $1 charge to get extra sauce. And Brook, what do you do when a restaurant asks you for one extra dollar?

[Brooke]

You give them the dollar.

[Jeffrey]

Yes, that's right. You destroy the place.

[Brooke]

Jeff, I thought this was a good news story.

[Jeffrey]

It is good news. Surveillance video shows Brianna going full rage, knocking items off the counter, throwing parmesan and red pepper shakers at the employee and pushing the cash register off onto the floor. Damages were estimated in the thousands of dollars.

[Brooke]

Is it weird? I always thought that those cash registers were attached.

[Jose]

I know.

[Jeffrey]

But the good news, Brianna eventually calmed down and paid the extra dollars. Or at least she would have paid if she didn't get arrested first by the police. Cops got her just as was reaching for her little purse to like give.

[Brooke]

Her the ones get the four quarters angry.

[Jose]

Yes, that is the excuse.

[Jeffrey]

That was the good news story that we needed in order to start off this day, right?

[Jose]

Imagine reveals $1, freaks out again.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, it was good news. Unless in the shot caller question of the day, Jake charges us $1 for extra hints after each question. Can I do that? Get your ones out, Jake. Here we go.

[Jake]

Get out your big red capes and spandex onesies because it's National Heroes day.

[Jose]

Okay, let's go.

[Jake]

And when it comes to superheroes, everyone always thinks of Spider Man. Yeah, my favorite Batman, Wonder Woman. The ones who get all the action figures and all the movie deals and all of their faces printed on children's underwear.

[Jose]

Yeah, they're the most known because of the most marketing.

[Brooke]

They're superheroes.

[Jake]

Thank you. But what about the small time heroes? The Marvel and DC characters who showed up in only a few of the comic strips get all the fame and glory cuz their powers were too weird or their names were too off putting. They deserve to be recognized too.

[Jose]

I want to know their name.

[Jeffrey]

You can still draw their faces on your underwear. That's okay.

[Jake]

That's why today we're doing a special Superhero or Super Zero edition of plenty of 20. Now you say a number one through 20. I'll tell you about a lesser known hero from the Marvel or DC universe. You just have to tell me if that's a real superhero or a made up super zero.

[Jose]

Oh, the listeners are gonna love this.

[Jake]

Let's start with the woman who's known as the crop top crusader. Alexis.

[Jose]

How would she hurt you with a crop top three?

[Jake]

Alexis, your possible superhero is called Squirrel Girl. She's a perky girl with squirrel powers, a tail and the ability to talk to squirrels who once helped the Avengers beat Thanos and Dr. Doom. Is that a real hero or a zero?

[Alexis]

We got Catwoman. I mean, we're not against.

[Jose]

Yeah, we like animals.

[Alexis]

Animals.

[Brooke]

Squirrel's more of a rodent. Is there a mouse man or anything?

[Jose]

There's Ant Man.

[Jake]

That's an.

[Jeffrey]

But Catwoman wouldn't work well with Squirrel Girl. They'd probably chase each other around the yard, get nothing done.

[Brooke]

Gotta keep dog Boy away.

[Alexis]

Yeah, that might be why. It was the ending. After one episode, they realized the Clash.

[Valerie]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

If she could get an army of squirrels together. That is frightening.

[Alexis]

That's true. I'm gonna think of all the cars they could stop if they form in the road.

[Jeffrey]

Um, I don't know, though.

[Alexis]

I'm gonna say super zero.

[Jake]

Alexis says super zero. Squirrel Girl is a real hero.

[Jeffrey]

How could we have doubted her?

[Brooke]

I'm gonna be Squirrel Girl for Halloween. Yes.

[Jose]

Wow.

[Jake]

Perky as ever. All right, Brooke, three is off the board.

[Brooke]

Give me seven.

[Jake]

Brooke, your possible superhero is called Dogwelder.

[Brooke]

Uh oh.

[Jake]

He's a vigilante who punishes criminals by welding dead dogs to them. Was that a real superhero or a real super.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my gosh. What do you. How does it defeat them? They just have to live with the shame of now. A puppy is attached to them all the time.

[Jake]

Don't worry about it.

[Jeffrey]

Don't think too much about dog.

[Brooke]

Hopefully, it's a, like, senior dog who's lived his life. Jeff, not just a puppy.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Jose]

Always a part of you.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

I mean, my husband would want our dog welded to him after she dies. Oh, my God. I'm gonna say it's so weird that it's real.

[Jose]

No, Brooke.

[Decker]

No.

[Jake]

Brooke says Dog Welder is real. You can thank DC Comics in 1997 for that one.

[Jeffrey]

97.

[Jake]

Big year for dog welding. 97, Jose, 3 and 7 are off the board.

[Jose]

May I please choose 8?

[Jake]

Jose, your possible superhero goes by the name Arm Fall Off Boy. His power, he can detach his arms and beat enemies with them.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's cool.

[Jake]

Wait, that's it? Why don't you use your regular arm? I don't know. Is that a real superhero or a real super zero?

[Jose]

It would be kind of cool to do, like, a double uppercut with one arm. I mean, you're holding a second uppercut.

[Brooke]

How do you hold it, though? If you just detached your arms. Do the arms work on their own?

[Jake]

Maybe just one at a time?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, one. It gives you extra long reach if you have two arms.

[Jose]

I don't think this is cool enough to be a superhero. You got to be some kind of cool. So I'm gonna say this is false.

[Jake]

Gonna say super zero.

[Jose]

Super zero.

[Jake]

Jose says super zero.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my God.

[Jake]

That's a real superhero. And I have a picture.

[Jeffrey]

No.

[Jose]

Oh, my God.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, he's ripping his own arm off.

[Jake]

Arm Fall off boys from DC Comics in 1989.

[Brooke]

No wonder DC gets such a bad rap.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Between this and Dogweldered Person, I think.

[Jake]

He'S a nice boy.

[Brooke]

That is disgusting.

[Jake]

Jeffrey, it's your turn three, seven and.

[Jeffrey]

Eight are off the board.

[Jake]

Number 10, Jeffrey, your possible superhero, goes by the name Lawnmower Lad. He cleared Central park of villainous weeds and bad guys in under three minutes, leaving perfect stripes behind and crooks and cuffs for the police to take away in jail. Lawnmower Lad's big moment came in 1992 when Spider man swung by and gave him a thumbs up.

[Jeffrey]

Big moment for him.

[Jake]

Is that a real superhero or a super zero?

[Jeffrey]

He didn't even help.

[Jake]

Just gave him a thumbs up.

[Jeffrey]

Just waved at Spider Man.

[Brooke]

Okay, details.

[Jeffrey]

Lawnmower Lad makes me think of superheroes that I looked up to when I was a kid. Like Yacht Boy.

[Jose]

Oh, God.

[Jeffrey]

The velvet purse was one of my favorite.

[Jake]

Velvet purse.

[Jeffrey]

And Captain Chablis. He was crisp, a little bit fruity, flew from vineyard to vineyard, fighting crime and sipping wine. Oh, yes. But, I mean, I could see Lawnmower Lad helping out Captain Chablis in a pinch.

[Brooke]

I feel like Lawnmower Lad would help out like Pool Boy or something.

[Jeffrey]

All of them. Yeah. The boys of justice give me. Lawnmower Lad is a real hero.

[Jake]

Jeffrey says Lawnmower Lad is real.

[Jeffrey]

I'm sorry.

[Jake]

He is a super zero. We made that one up. And that means our superhero for today, Brooke, has won plenty of 20.

[Jeffrey]

Brooke gets to choose who gets shocked. They're gonna be singing Superman. It's not easy by five for fighting. Who's it gonna be?

[Brooke]

I'll pick Jose today.

[Jose]

I can't stand to fly.

[Brooke]

Oh, God.

[Jose]

I'm not that naive.

[Brooke]

The song is not that late.

[Jose]

Play Superman for yourself today.

[Jeffrey]

Those are your. That's your shot collar. Question of the day. We got your phone tabs coming up in just a few minutes.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

Have you ever opened TikTok for a little scroll break?

[Jose]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

And then 14 hours later, you're like, why am I watching a video of a raccoon wearing glow in the dark crocs eating spaghetti like it's a human being?

[Jose]

Oh, my gosh. I want to see that.

[Brooke]

It's such a good video, Jeff.

[Jeffrey]

It's kind of cute.

[Jose]

No wonder it's viral.

[Jeffrey]

It's twirling the little fork like a person would.

[Brooke]

And you can see it even though.

[Jeffrey]

It'S dark, but at the same time, you're like, what am I doing with my life?

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

And that's when I realized, you know what? You have a choice. You can either fall victim to brain rotation or you can contribute more to it. And that's what we're gonna do. Today, as we go around the room and share our thoughts, we're gonna put it up on social media and hopefully somebody watches it and is like, what on earth am I listening to?

[Brooke]

It's like we're on the offense now.

[Jeffrey]

That's right. We're gonna rot some brains with a brand new what's on your mind right now? It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And statistically, almost everyone on earth is undefeated as a professional boxer.

[Jose]

Oh, because I've never been in a professional box.

[Jeffrey]

We've got a room full of undefeated boxers here. And with that record, you'd think we'd sound less brain damage during what's on your mind? Where we go around the room and share what we've all been thinking about lately, starting with Brooke. Brooke, what's on your mind?

[Brooke]

Well, I coached my very first JV middle school soccer game.

[Jose]

Right?

[Brooke]

Yeah. My daughter was on the team. And the good news is the kids played great. They played so great. They had a lot of fun together. The bad news is I found out after the game that the two coaches, which would be myself and the other coach, got written up for unsportsmanlike conduct.

[Jeffrey]

Brooke, coaches can get a chance. We wouldn't expect anything less from Brooke. What did you do?

[Alexis]

Yeah, what did you do?

[Brooke]

Well, the score was a little lopsided.

[Jeffrey]

I'm guessing your team was not winning.

[Brooke]

No, we were winning.

[Jeffrey]

You were winning?

[Jose]

Yeah. Crushing.

[Jeffrey]

And you were still unsportsmanlike.

[Brooke]

Yeah. That was. The problem is that apparently when you're up 10 to 0, you should pull your foot off the gas a little bit.

[Jose]

As a coach, it's called sportsmanship.

[Jeffrey]

What were you doing?

[Brooke]

We were just subbing the girls out every seven minutes, like, letting them play. You know what I play.

[Jose]

You got your fifth goal. Come out. We're gonna put him down.

[Jeffrey]

That's not enough to give you. You an unsportsman. Like, what did you do?

[Brooke]

No, that was. That was it. That was it. Yeah.

[Jose]

Coaching style.

[Jeffrey]

Coaching two girls.

[Brooke]

They said that we went too hard and that we should have pulled back, and we didn't. How? I don't know. Okay, sure, there was one player who scored four goals all by herself, but she's incredible. I don't want to tell her to not be incredible.

[Jeffrey]

Maybe you should. Yeah, you maybe need to start booing your own team.

[Jose]

Tell them every time they score a goal on the other team, they should score a goal on themselves and make it even.

[Alexis]

Oh, that would have been nice.

[Jose]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Come on. Fairness, fairness. Everybody get along.

[Alexis]

I do feel like you're leaving out how much. You were probably yelling excitement at your time, fist bumping, screaming.

[Jose]

And she was probably drunk. I mean, sorry, I'm just making that up.

[Brooke]

It was 8 in the morning, Jose.

[Jose]

That's why I say that.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, Jose, what's been on your mind?

[Jose]

Well, I was at my parents house recently and my dad all excitedly is like, jose, come to the pool. I have to show you something.

[Brooke]

Oh, okay.

[Jose]

Five scorpions. Oh, he found five, like small scorpions in our pool.

[Brooke]

Wait, did he have them in his hand? Why did you have your hand?

[Jose]

He took them out and then he put them on a rock because they're all poisonous. But I've never seen the scorpions like up close. And there's five. And apparently he caught two the day before. So anyway, that happens day one. The next day we're like watching a movie. We're in there, what we call the theater room.

[Brooke]

They're in there.

[Jose]

And I'm eating a sandwich and I'm barefoot and all of a sudden I feel something pinch my toe.

[Brooke]

No.

[Jose]

Like I feel a boom. Go, oh, ow, ow, ow. And my dad's like, what, what's wrong? And I go, I got stung by something. And he goes, oh, no, the scorpions.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Jose]

We are all freaking out. But I. It's a dark room. I can't see my feet. So I'm like, I grab my phone, I'm grabbing the light.

[Brooke]

What is it?

[Jose]

I look down and there it is.

[Jeffrey]

What?

[Jose]

A Frito chip.

[Brooke]

Your toe stuck. Corner of a hard corn.

[Jose]

I grazed my toe against a chip. And I thought like when you're in the water and you touch a piece of kelp, you know, you're like, ah, it's gonna kill me, Jose. We all thought I was gonna die.

[Jeffrey]

Still, I hope your dad got down there and tried sucking the poison. Save your life.

[Jose]

But my family laughed at me so much. Cause I literally jumped. I was so scared. And now, you know, I'm gonna be scared of Fritos for the rest of my life.

[Jeffrey]

And tour and Maso. Alexis, what's on your mind?

[Alexis]

So I got to host my first event with our listeners that I've done. Yeah, we got to go to like a suite at a concert.

[Valerie]

So fun.

[Alexis]

And I didn't know what to expect. But our listeners were great. Of course.

[Jose]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

And I'm in there with them and it provides food and drinks, like non alcoholic drinks that we have in there and everything.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

And Brooke, don't say cool.

[Valerie]

What?

[Jeffrey]

I know you don't mean that.

[Jose]

We gotta Buy your own booze.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

There's a lot of legality behind getting listeners drunk. You can't do that.

[Jose]

Okay.

[Brooke]

It was really cool.

[Alexis]

But then, so talking to one of the listeners, that's when they say to me, they're like, hey, so can you drink while you're on the job?

[Brooke]

And I was like, I don't know.

[Jose]

Like, oh, it's your first event.

[Jeffrey]

You don't know?

[Alexis]

I'm not really sure.

[Valerie]

Oh, it's radio. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

You're the same age as a lot of the kids that are working the promo team.

[Alexis]

And then that's why one of them was like, well, hey, I got a bottle of tequila I snuck in here.

[Jose]

Hold on, this is different.

[Alexis]

Next thing I know, my lemonade cup is getting filled with tequila. I was like, wow, I got a drink some because the listener gave it to me.

[Jeffrey]

Of course, I'd be disrespectful not to.

[Alexis]

But then the rest of the night I didn't expect. They just kept coming up and they were like, hey, Alexis, gotta get a refill going around. And then they were like, shh, don't tell anybody else.

[Brooke]

Yeah, there's not enough for everyone?

[Alexis]

No, not everyone.

[Jake]

What's the rest?

[Jose]

You got drunk, you fought somebody? What happened?

[Alexis]

No, I stayed responsible. If our bosses are listening, you got wasted. I stopped at one sim. But our listeners never fail to impress me again.

[Jose]

Well, shout out to the tequila bottle people.

[Brooke]

You know who you.

[Decker]

Dang.

[Brooke]

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

[Jeffrey]

I've never told you all this, but my parents have this strange tradition where every few years they self publish a magazine. It's called Generations.

[Jose]

No way.

[Brooke]

Are you joking?

[Jake]

Really?

[Jeffrey]

There's a reason I don't talk about.

[Jose]

Okay, I don't want to laugh.

[Brooke]

Wait, is it like a family? Like one of those newsletters that you get at Christmas time?

[Jeffrey]

Basically, it's filled with pictures and write ups about how every single person in my whole extended family is doing.

[Jose]

Oh, it's like to keep you updated.

[Brooke]

Yes, it's what rich people do.

[Jeffrey]

Then a new issue is coming out and my dad sent me my blurb.

[Brooke]

Oh. Oh, were you nervous? Were you excited?

[Jeffrey]

I don't want anything to do with it.

[Brooke]

But can we read it? Will you read it to us?

[Jeffrey]

I want to read you at least part of how he described my life.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Because it says, while attending college, Jeff did not show interest in clinical work, scientific research or teaching. He also chose not to pursue opportunities in pre med or business.

[Jose]

What?

[Jeffrey]

You went to college?

[Brooke]

Like. Like 15 years ago.

[Jeffrey]

This is part of the write up. Instead, he graduated with a BA in psychology.

[Brooke]

Oh, there's some disappointment in that.

[Jeffrey]

Tone in and then posted the wrong year of my graduation off by six years.

[Brooke]

What? Oh, wow.

[Jose]

Then he finished it off with a fluke.

[Jeffrey]

Comedy bit became the opening for Jeff's unsuspecting rise in radio.

[Brooke]

Oh, so that's. He's not happy about it.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, clearly my parents are proud of my life trajectory and career choices and.

[Alexis]

Really up to date with where you're currently at in life.

[Brooke]

Why do I feel like you're getting written out of the will?

[Jeffrey]

But I can't wait to get the magazine out of my mailbox and read just how proud my family is.

[Alexis]

You're in it sounds like.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

At least I made it this year. Text into 78592 and you can tell us what's been on your mind. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And we just shared with the entire listener audience what's been on our mind. So they're hitting us back, telling us what's been on theirs. This text says, when my kiddo's mother became pregnant, she found a fun way to tell me. She asked a very close friend to help her prepare a special dinner. It was baby back ribs, a salad of baby spinach, baby carrots and baby corn, and some fried baby potatoes. When I noticed and asked why all the foods were baby, the friends looked at my ex and she looked down and patted her tummy and looked back up at me. After nearly 30 years in, it's still a pleasant memory.

[Brooke]

That's so sweet.

[Jose]

I'm glad he got it because some dudes just don't.

[Jeffrey]

What?

[Brooke]

You want me to eat less?

[Jose]

Why is everything so small fat?

[Jeffrey]

I see. So that's who started this whole gender reveal thing. I'm sure the next thing was, oh, I'm going to give you some blueberries, a little blue cheese on some blue corn tortillas.

[Jose]

Ooh, it's a boy. I'm into that.

[Jeffrey]

I hate whoever texted. I'm just kidding. We're happy for you and your 30 year old child.

[Brooke]

That doesn't feel sincere.

[Jeffrey]

No, we are. I'm thrilled. Anyway, keep your text coming in 78592.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

We've all heard sharing is caring. That might be true sometimes, but in certain cases sharing is despairing.

[Jose]

Oh, I haven't heard that one, Jeff.

[Jeffrey]

Like when Brooke shared her homemade oyster casserole and half the office got fried.

[Brooke]

Food poisoning that they didn't get it from my cooking. Jeff.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, yeah, it was the saltines that came with it.

[Jose]

Well, yeah, whatever it was.

[Jeffrey]

Or in college when I signed up for that communal toothbrush experiment and my tonsils turned green.

[Jose]

Communal toothbrush?

[Brooke]

And you think my oyster salad is bad?

[Jeffrey]

At least it built character. Well, same thing goes for dating a relationship. Sounds great till you realize you've been sharing your partner with a bunch of other randos and had no idea.

[Brooke]

That's kind of like a communal toothbrush.

[Jeffrey]

Yep, we're gonna hear from some listeners who found out the hard way. Sharing was extremely despairing in a brand new Busted right after this. Sneaky husbands, two timing wives, bad boyfriends.

[Brooke]

And even worse girlfriends.

[Jeffrey]

They thought they could get away with it, but now they're about to get busted. Renowned 1980s poet Young MC once said, she says she want to dance because she likes the groove. So come on, fatso, and just bust a move.

[Jose]

I didn't know she called us fatsos in there.

[Jeffrey]

Fat shaming aside, it is kind of a fun message. Until that night comes when you find your fatso ex busting a move on somebody who's not you.

[Brooke]

Ah, come on, you two fatties.

[Jose]

Break it up.

[Brooke]

That's right.

[Jeffrey]

And when that happens, it's time to come onto our show and share the full story of how you caught them right here on Busted.

[Brooke]

Who? Are you going to do it in rap form, though? Is that how we're going to make all the contestants answer?

[Jeffrey]

I don't know if they're up for it. Let's find out with our first caller. Katrina, tell us how you busted your significant other.

[Valerie]

I was dating this guy for, like, three to four months, and we stopped going out for our dates. We started hanging out more at home.

[Jose]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

In the comfortable stage.

[Valerie]

Exactly.

[Brooke]

Cheap stage, let's be honest.

[Valerie]

Well, yeah, he said he was kind of broke and couldn't afford dinner dates, and I was fine with that.

[Decker]

That's cool.

[Valerie]

Like, we had kind of that comfortable, steady groove, and it was nice.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, okay. Well, if you were okay with it.

[Jose]

Yeah. And he's honest.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, yeah.

[Valerie]

But one day I'm on social media and this video pops up of, like, a new really fancy restaurant that was opening by us.

[Brooke]

That's exciting.

[Jeffrey]

Oh.

[Brooke]

Not that you're gonna get to go, but.

[Valerie]

Okay, Well, I watched the whole video through, and there's my boyfriend popping champagne with another girl and laughing.

[Jose]

What?

[Brooke]

Oh, please tell me he was a hired model. Maybe for the promo video.

[Valerie]

Oh, he's not a Model. And I confronted him with it. I was like, explain this, Mr. Broke. And he just said he spends most of his money on this other girl because she's high maintenance. No, but it gets worse. He says he has more fun with me doing the boring couple things, like watch the movie.

[Jose]

Sweet.

[Jeffrey]

He's more complicated. Comfortable with you?

[Jose]

No, I like your personality. But I'll spend money on the hot one.

[Valerie]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Dump him. Take yourself to that fancy restaurant.

[Jose]

Take a new dude.

[Valerie]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

You didn't take it as a compliment?

[Valerie]

Oh, no.

[Jeffrey]

Okay.

[Decker]

No.

[Valerie]

Never told me about this side piece. That was never part of the equation.

[Brooke]

Sounds like she was the main course. I mean, if you're going to be honest.

[Valerie]

I'm sorry.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, sorry that happened to you, Katrina. Let's keep going to job. Josh, tell us how you busted your significant other.

[Decker]

Few years ago, I. I was dating this woman, and she was really cute. She's a little older than me, but I liked her. I just. I had this feeling for some reason that I couldn't trust her.

[Jose]

Oh, that's not good. That wasn't good.

[Jeffrey]

You have, like, no evidence.

[Jose]

She's like, a gut.

[Jeffrey]

But I'm also not gonna break up with you. I'm just gonna hold the suspicion for a while.

[Brooke]

I mean, sometimes you're like, okay, maybe I'm just being paranoid. I've been passing experiences or whatever.

[Jeffrey]

So what happened?

[Decker]

Well, one day she tells me that she got picked for jury duty, which. How often does that happen, right? So already my. My spidey sense is going off, and I got a little curious.

[Brooke]

People actually do.

[Jeffrey]

I don't believe. I've never seen an actual court happen except on tv.

[Jose]

Yeah, yeah, Judge Judy. Yeah.

[Decker]

I mean, I've gotten called for jury duty before, but it doesn't happen all the time. So when it does, it's like, oh, okay, random. I was, like, thinking, is this real?

[Valerie]

Is it not?

[Decker]

So I got curious, and I looked up the public court calendar to see what cases were happening that day.

[Brooke]

You weren't curious. You were paranoid.

[Jeffrey]

Did you find anything?

[Decker]

There were a few on the docket there. So I'm thinking maybe I was being suspicious over nothing, but one of those days on the calendar for jury duty, I thought I would surprise her and bring her some lunch. So I showed up at the courthouse, and I did find her, but she wasn't on a jury. She was actually in a hearing over a property battle with her husband.

[Jose]

Oh. Oh, wait.

[Jeffrey]

She wasn't a jury.

[Jose]

She was in the case.

[Brooke]

Well, if they're battling, it's probably ex husband, right?

[Jose]

Let's hope.

[Decker]

But still, she did not mention that she had a husband or ex husband. And like, I'm in the back, she doesn't see me. He mentions that he caught her cheating before.

[Jeffrey]

In. In her defense, though, did you ask her if she had a husband or an ex husband?

[Decker]

I. I didn't feel to bring it. I didn't see a ring on her finger.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well, maybe we need to look in the mirror and start asking more questions to our girlfriends who are already married.

[Jose]

In her defense, you should have said, can I approach the bench? Yeah, I have information.

[Brooke]

I actually think maybe the ex husband caught her cheating with you.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, maybe. Are you the cheater?

[Decker]

I don't know. I. It just. It felt like the way he said it, that it was like a recurrence thing. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Josh is like, how did this turn on me? Yeah, I'm calling to confess.

[Decker]

I'm the victim.

[Brooke]

Yeah, but you had a double lunch to eat, which was nice.

[Jeffrey]

It's kind of nice. Extra food. And finally, let's go to one more. We got Jen on the phone. Tell us how you busted your significant other.

[Valerie]

So, yeah, basically, I was at this coffee shop that I go to every day, and randomly, they gave me a free drink one time.

[Brooke]

Nice.

[Decker]

Fun.

[Valerie]

I thought it was a mistake, but then it happened again and again. Every time I showed up.

[Jose]

Whoa.

[Brooke]

Okay, you're getting free coffee drinks.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. No wonder you keep going back.

[Valerie]

I mean, I was enjoying the free drinks, but I was really confused, so I finally asked if someone was paying for my drink ahead of me or, like, what was going on.

[Brooke]

Yeah, because you're the jerk that's not paying for the person behind you at that point.

[Valerie]

Right, and that's when the barista admitted that she had hooked up with my boyfriend, thinking he was single.

[Jose]

Oh, whoa.

[Jeffrey]

What?

[Valerie]

Yeah, so she was hooking up with my boyfriend, thinking he was single, and basically felt so guilty that she'd been running a free drink guilt program ever since.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's kind of nice. She didn't know. She didn't mean to take your boyfriend. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

I'm gonna need a few breakfast sandwiches on top of these free drinks and if I'm really gonna forgive you. Oh, no, that's the right move. Yeah. Sorry that happened to you, but hit up our text board 78592. If you have a funny story about how you caught your ex cheating, you could be on the next edition of Busted. We got your phone tab coming up.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

It's Brooke And Jeffrey in the morning, time for your prank call. And today we speak to a guy who just booked his very first international flight.

[Brooke]

Oh, hey.

[Jeffrey]

Never been out of the country before. Does not know what to expect.

[Brooke]

Oh, man, so exciting.

[Jeffrey]

Good for you. And he's about to learn, thanks to his wife, who set him up for this, that when you fly first class international, things are very different.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God, he's gonna ruin himself forever. If that's what he's gonna do, he's.

[Jeffrey]

Either gonna love it or really love it. In your phone tap right now, it's another phone tab. Weekday mornings on the 20s.

[Decker]

Hello.

[Jeffrey]

Good morning. Am I speaking with a Mr. Jason?

[Decker]

Yes. Is he?

[Jeffrey]

Hi, Jason, my name is Freddy. I'm calling from airlines customer service.

[Decker]

Oh, sure. Hi.

[Jeffrey]

Hi. You're taking a flight with us this Saturday, nonstop to London.

[Decker]

I am? Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Great. Now it says you're flying first class, but you haven't filled out any of the passenger preference selections off our app.

[Decker]

Oh, I didn't know there were such things.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, you didn't?

[Decker]

Yeah, no, I never flied internationally, so it's like it's kind of my first time. Oh, okay.

[Jeffrey]

In that case, I'm just going to walk you through this over the phone, if that's okay.

[Decker]

Yeah, I got a couple minutes.

[Jeffrey]

Perfect. So I'll just dive right into it. Number one. For your pre flight pill, would you prefer Ambien, Zoloft or something harder?

[Decker]

I didn't know they give out drugs on flights.

[Jeffrey]

Only to our first class clientele. I mean, this is an international first class flight, sir. You spent a lot of money.

[Decker]

I just didn't know this was a thing.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, it is. I mean, if you wanted me to slap you in the face, I would do it because you are a first class customer and we value your business.

[Decker]

I don't need to be slapped in the face, so.

[Jeffrey]

No, no. You would slap me. I would take the slapping.

[Decker]

I'm good. I don't.

[Jeffrey]

When I think about it, no one's ever asked me to slap them pre flight before, but if they did, I would.

[Decker]

Yeah. No slapping, no drugs. I don't need any of that.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well, great. In that case, let's proceed. As it pertains to your in flight meal, would you care to have normal kosher or shaman blessed?

[Decker]

What's shaman blessed?

[Jeffrey]

We have a spiritual guide from Northeast Asia. Bless certain meals before they enter the plane. He is in a transcendent state, aligning his chakras to Mother earth to give you the most perfectly balanced meal.

[Decker]

I Mean, what the heck? It is my first international flight. Right, sure. Shaman blessed.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, perfect. With that selection, there is a chance he may eat some of your meal.

[Decker]

He's gonna eat some of the meal?

[Jeffrey]

Maybe, if he's hungry.

[Decker]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

But it doesn't take the blessing away.

[Decker]

Yeah, no, I don't want my meal to be like, oh, eaten.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well, how plebeian of you.

[Decker]

What?

[Jeffrey]

Not a lot of our first class passengers say that, but I'll mark you down normal.

[Decker]

Is this some type of joke? I've never heard of anything like this. No, it seems like a lot of your first class options are, like, kind of out there.

[Jeffrey]

You're the one who's never been on an international flight before. That's what you've told me.

[Decker]

Right, but I'm like an educated adult. I think I would have heard of this.

[Jeffrey]

Well, sir, we try not to advertise this to all the normies in economy, you understand? So anyway, back to your preferences. Would you prefer normal toilet seat, heated toilet seat, or shaman blessed?

[Decker]

I don't even know what to say to that.

[Jeffrey]

Honestly, I don't know a lot about the seat spirituality behind it, but from my understanding, that's where he blesses the meals.

[Decker]

What?

[Jeffrey]

So it's like a. It's a two for one blessing.

[Decker]

So he blesses the meal and the toilet.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. While he's on it.

[Decker]

Like, why. Why are you offering this, sir?

[Jeffrey]

Like I've said, it's an international flight, so legally we can't do any of these things until we're over nomadic airspace where certain American laws don't apply.

[Decker]

This is. This is just weird. And I don't. I don't want to do anything shaman blessed or anything. I don't want my food near the toilet. I don't want to do that.

[Jeffrey]

Noted, noted. I'm gonna put that down for you. And almost done here. We need to discuss your in flight entertainment.

[Decker]

Again, nothing shaman blessed.

[Jeffrey]

No, of course there's no shaman involved in the entertainment. That's kind of a ridiculous question on your part.

[Decker]

It's really not, because you've offered it with every other thing.

[Jeffrey]

Sir, I'm running short on time here, so if I could just ask you the question. Would you prefer regular mov. Adult content only or super adult content?

[Decker]

What the hell is super adult?

[Jeffrey]

Oh, so you're interested?

[Decker]

No, I just never heard of that.

[Jeffrey]

I just know you must have headphones for the super adult content and earmuffs covering the headphones because it gets pretty loud.

[Decker]

Do you not understand? My wife is on the flight with me. This is like an anniversary.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, okay. So it may be more of an adult plus experience.

[Decker]

What?

[Jeffrey]

In that one, you share headphones, which unfortunately are shaman blessed.

[Decker]

Okay, you said that wasn't involved in this. There's no more shaman bless thing?

[Jeffrey]

Not with the entertainment, but with the headphones, yes.

[Decker]

Oh, and what, he blessed them on the toilet?

[Jeffrey]

Well, that I. I can't speak to. But I do know the shaman blessed this prank phone call that we're doing on the radio right now. Well, set up by your wife, of course, because she listens to our radio show.

[Decker]

What?

[Jeffrey]

You picking up on this? Because my name is Jeff. Oh, yeah.

[Decker]

Oh, man.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, God. Yeah, man. I'm not from the airline. I'm from Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Your wife wanted us to do a phone tap on you.

[Decker]

Oh, Sandra.

[Jeffrey]

She told us that you've never traveled international before. And I didn't even get to tell you that as a first class passenger, you get to fly the plane for 10 whole minutes.

[Decker]

Oh, my God.

[Jeffrey]

How cool is that?

[Decker]

As long as there's no Shannon meals. I'm really looking forward to it.

[Brooke]

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

[Jeffrey]

If you're on the dating apps, but you aren't getting a ton of ton of matches, what's your move to shift the numbers back in your favor?

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Do you have chat GPT rewrite your bio for you?

[Jose]

That's not a bad idea.

[Brooke]

Yeah, probably. It's happening a lot right now.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, maybe borrow someone's dog to use in your profile pic.

[Jose]

Smart.

[Jeffrey]

Or do you let your mom do all the swiping for you? She knows what ladies would like.

[Jake]

Ew.

[Brooke]

Mom, why did you. That's an inappropriate picture.

[Jeffrey]

One of our listeners says he instantly doubled his response rate from women just by making one little change to his profile pic. Was it slightly unethical and misleading? It's not really for me to say.

[Brooke]

Is it not?

[Jeffrey]

The more important question is, did it work? And it sure did.

[Jose]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

You're gonna hear it in your brand new second date update. Right after this second date update. There's a ton of bad dating terms out there to describe what happened to you. Whether you got catfish or breadcrumbed or Mongolian barbecued.

[Brooke]

Why does it all taste the same?

[Jeffrey]

It's supposed to be a bad thing. But I'm curious. Is there a term for when your date shows up to meet you and then cancels almost instantly for the rest of the night?

[Brooke]

Wait, what?

[Jeffrey]

After she saw you after you meet up.

[Brooke]

Up. You're in, you're. You're together.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. And then they like. No, actually, never mind.

[Brooke]

Oh, dude, I think that's disappointment or honesty.

[Jose]

Yeah, brutal honesty.

[Jeffrey]

Maybe it's one sip. Wondered. Because we need to figure out whatever the term is.

[Brooke]

Apparently that's going to catch on, but yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, disappointed is what we'll go with for now. Apparently, it happened to our listener Decker, that his date bailed almost immediately. At least that's what I got from reading his email. So let's talk about it. Decker, welcome to the show, man.

[Jose]

Ma'. Am.

[Decker]

Hey, how you doing?

[Brooke]

Dude, why would you even want to call this person back if they were that rude?

[Decker]

You know, I. I'm not even. I'm not even sure if she was so rude. I just. I can't figure it out. Huh.

[Brooke]

I guess maybe we need to understand the story more.

[Jeffrey]

No, let's draw conclusions right now. Without knowing anything.

[Brooke]

That's usually how I like to do it.

[Jose]

I think he had bad hair.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Okay, you know what? Maybe we'll get a few details from you, Decker, if that's okay. Let's just start from the beginning. What's this girl's name?

[Decker]

Kelsey.

[Brooke]

Okay, and where'd you guys meet?

[Decker]

Bumble.

[Brooke]

Okay, so it was an online date.

[Decker]

Okay, you know, I'll be honest. The last couple of months, I've been getting a much more positive response on my Bumble profile. I changed my main picture, and I feel like that did the trick.

[Brooke]

What was the big change in the photo?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, what other person did you use as your profile picture?

[Decker]

No, no, I took it's my face, but I superimposed it on another person's body in a picture. Well, you know, Luke Combs is in the picture. It was a picture with Luke Combs, and it's my face, so I'm in the picture with Luke Combs.

[Brooke]

But you never met him. You never actually met Luke Combs.

[Decker]

I mean, I've actually met a lot of famous people. I worked backstage in some music venues, so I've met a lot of people, but I didn't have a picture with Luke Combs.

[Jose]

Why use another picture of another celebrity brother?

[Jeffrey]

Well, is it a really good Photoshop job, or is it a really, like, obviously fake one where people would be like, oh, that's funny.

[Decker]

No, it's a pretty good job. I mean, why do you think she went out with me?

[Alexis]

That's dating terms. You catfished her.

[Valerie]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Well, here's. Is the body type similar to your body Type.

[Decker]

Yeah, I think I could pull off.

[Jeffrey]

An eight pack, no problem. Sure.

[Brooke]

Interesting.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well, it got her interest interested in you at least. So tell us about where the conversation went from there.

[Decker]

We had. Look, we had good conversation. We decided to meet up. I know through talking to her that she's a big live music fan, and I thought, let's do something fun. So I got us some tickets to go see Morgan Wallen in concert.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, wow.

[Jose]

Okay.

[Brooke]

So you're just leaning into this country world.

[Jeffrey]

All right, well, that's a big show.

[Brooke]

It's expensive.

[Alexis]

400 each.

[Decker]

You got to go big or don't go at all.

[Brooke]

Okay. I bet she was excited.

[Jeffrey]

How did she take the news that she was gonna be seeing Morgan Wallen live in person?

[Decker]

I mean, she was into it. And we texted throughout the week, and things were going good. Now, a few days before I was gonna go with her, I realized I had to take my car to the shop, and it got stuck there for a few extra days. So I was scrambling, and I borrowed a buddy of mine's car, and he's got a perfectly nice car. It wasn't a big deal, but.

[Brooke]

So now you got a fake body and a fake car?

[Decker]

Yeah.

[Jose]

You're so fake, bro.

[Decker]

Not true. The body was similar and so was.

[Brooke]

Okay, okay, so wait, you even picked her up before this concert?

[Decker]

Yeah, yeah, I picked her up. And as I'm driving to pick her up, I look. I'm looking in the rear view mirror, check my hair, and I see that my buddy left these car seats in the back of the car.

[Jeffrey]

He has kids.

[Brooke]

Pull over. Oh, put him in the truck. Quick.

[Decker]

I should have done that, but I didn't. Right. When she climbed in, I mean, it's the first thing she noticed.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Jose]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Decker]

So I explained the situation, and she seemed okay.

[Jeffrey]

Okay. You told her that it was your friend's car, and those are.

[Decker]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jose]

Oh, that's good. Then you don't feel very fake like we were insinuating earlier.

[Brooke]

But you said, like, at what point did she leave? Like, did you guys get into the concert ever?

[Decker]

Well, we went and we stopped and got some food and a drink. One drink at a bar. Okay. And almost immediately she just says, I'm not feeling well. I'm feeling a little nauseous. And so she goes to the bathroom a couple times, and finally she just says, you know, I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well. I think you're gonna have to take me home.

[Brooke]

Oh, well, that feels legit, though. That doesn't even feel like an excuse.

[Alexis]

No, but why would she not tell you to go to the concert without her and, like, Uber herself home?

[Jose]

That's what she was saying.

[Decker]

I mean, she brought up a lot of different options. I mean, I think she felt bad about it, but what she made clear is, I just don't think I can go.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well, Brooke doesn't respect this woman. After just one drink, she's saying that.

[Brooke]

Ew.

[Jose]

Right, Brooke.

[Brooke]

My guess is that she was trying to pass power through Jeffrey, and then she realized while they were at the restaurant, like, ugh, I just, I can't do it.

[Jose]

But this sounds real. Like, I believe her. Why would anybody not go to the concert if you're using your line and.

[Alexis]

You had the tickets, Right? They weren't on her phone.

[Jose]

That's a good point.

[Decker]

She turns around and goes, yes, I had the ticket.

[Alexis]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Decker]

And I honestly, I really did believe that she wanted to go. But I take her home, I drop her off. I've texted her since then saying, I hope you're feeling better. I hope you're doing okay. And also said, but we should find a chance to, you know, have a do over. And she says, thank you for checking in, but she has not once responded to the idea of another date.

[Jose]

Okay, it sounds like she was actually sick. Is this boring? If this is like.

[Brooke]

But she also doesn't want to see him. Yeah, you know, both things may be true.

[Jose]

Okay, she's not responding. That's true.

[Jeffrey]

We'll find out where the truth really lies when we come back and call Kelsey and try and get get you your country themed second date update. Yeehaw. We're doing right after this.

[Jose]

Banjos ready?

[Brooke]

Yeah, this isn't. We're not country people.

[Jeffrey]

Hold on. Second date update. What would make a woman cancel a concert date for one of the biggest music artists in the world right before they walk into the show?

[Jose]

Wow.

[Jeffrey]

Cuz that's what happened to our listener Decker. His date, Kelsey, suddenly told him that she wasn't feeling good and had to go home. So they never made it into the actual venue.

[Brooke]

Maybe she realized she was going to a country music show and that's well dawned on her late.

[Jeffrey]

They had talked about it. They talked about it earlier. And she had expressed excitement and interest in going.

[Brooke]

I'm just joking.

[Jeffrey]

All of like, the sickness stuff would have been believable except for the fact that Kelsey's barely answering him at all after that night.

[Jose]

Night.

[Jeffrey]

Which is why Decker thinks something else must be going on other than just the Sickness.

[Jose]

Still, what can be so bad you're gonna skip one of the biggest concerts?

[Alexis]

I mean, but they're not fun if you don't like the person you're with.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I think we need to know how different he looked from his profile picture than real.

[Alexis]

And he catfished her. He's a liar.

[Decker]

I'm not a liar. The point of it was that I would look like I was buddies with, you know, a country star. It wasn't about the whole body thing, but Decker, that.

[Brooke]

That's also a lie.

[Alexis]

Yeah, my mind would go to. He paid for a meet and greet, not his buddy.

[Decker]

Yeah, look, I've met a lot of famous people, just not that famous. Dude.

[Jose]

Oh, my God.

[Brooke]

I think we're just going to keep going on this circle, this. This cycle if we don't just continue.

[Jeffrey]

I mean, I'm having fun on this circle right now, but we'll hop off for a second just to call Kelsey. I'm a dial her number right now. Here we go.

[Brooke]

Hello?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, is this Kelsey?

[Valerie]

It's Kelsey. Who's this?

[Jeffrey]

Hey, Kelsey. This is a radio show. We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.

[Brooke]

Hi, Kelsey.

[Jose]

What's up, Kelsey? Good morning.

[Decker]

Whoa.

[Valerie]

Okay, a lot of people.

[Brooke]

The whole show's here.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. And we're doing this segment. I'm not sure if you're familiar with it. It's called a Second date update.

[Valerie]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Take that as a no. What we're trying to do is we're trying to help out one of our listeners to figure out if there's a reason you haven't really been talking to him much after your first. We'll call it a half date. A guy named Decker that you met up with recently.

[Decker]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

The thing is, Decker's confused why there hasn't been any communication between you two after that night.

[Jose]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

And by the way, we do hope that you feel better because we heard that you were a little under the weather.

[Jose]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

Right before the concert.

[Jose]

You missed the whole concert. I mean, you must have been sick.

[Valerie]

Okay. Yeah, I am feeling. Feeling better. Thank you.

[Jose]

That's good.

[Brooke]

Is Decker reading it right, that you don't want to hang out with him again?

[Valerie]

I just. I mean, the date wasn't what I expected.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, well, what I could tell you, what he told us was that he had planned this really fun concert night at the Morgan Wallen show. He picked you up in his friend's.

[Brooke]

Car, which he didn't realize had car seats in the back seat until you got in, which sounds like that would have been pretty shocking for you.

[Valerie]

Yeah, it was a. It was like a. It was his body's car. Great, because, you know, then friends with people who have families, that always seems nice.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, there's not much left to what he told us. He said you stopped off somewhere to grab a quick drink right before the show, and then almost immediately, you started to feel sick and had to go home.

[Valerie]

All right, that is true.

[Brooke]

Okay, is it true that you were actually sick?

[Valerie]

That is not true.

[Brooke]

Okay, interesting. So something happened where you had to fake it just to get out of the date.

[Valerie]

Look, I was excited. I mean, this guy, I'm thinking this guy must really like me. These are expensive tickets. This concert is sold out. I know it is. And we get to the bar for a drink and food, and then. Then he tells me the deal with the tickets.

[Brooke]

What's the deal?

[Valerie]

He says that one of us has to pretend to be hurt.

[Brooke]

What?

[Jose]

What?

[Valerie]

He brought crutches in the boot. He says they're in the trunk.

[Brooke]

Wait, one of you has to pretend to be disabled for the night? I mean, I.

[Valerie]

Injured. You know, why.

[Jeffrey]

Why would he. Why would somebody need to do that?

[Valerie]

Because we have to get to the disabled seats.

[Decker]

He says to me, oh, my God.

[Jeffrey]

He bought seats in a disabled section.

[Valerie]

They're hard tickets to get. This is the only way he could get these tickets.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, no.

[Jose]

If people don't know, they don't go to events. There is a specific section for disabled people that need wheelchairs or.

[Brooke]

Crazy. Yeah.

[Jose]

And so I've. I've actually had this combo with my friends before. Like, how awful would it be if somebody faked it?

[Jeffrey]

So you're saying the thought has crossed your mind before. Okay, but you talk yourself out of it.

[Brooke]

So wait, are you sure he wasn't joking?

[Valerie]

Okay, now, I never saw the crutches. I never saw the boot.

[Brooke]

Okay?

[Valerie]

I'm like, no, I gotta get out of here. I can't. I cannot do that.

[Jose]

No wonder you.

[Brooke]

He's got a real loose moral line, that's for sure.

[Jose]

Totally.

[Jeffrey]

See now. And I'm sure he's not going to be too happy that you faked being sick in front of him to get out of a date.

[Alexis]

Because what she did is nothing compared.

[Valerie]

To, I don't know, in front of one person instead of 10,000 or however many in there.

[Jeffrey]

There's millions of people listening. Yeah, a lot of people are listening. While Decker is on the other line, too, wanting to talk to you.

[Valerie]

Oh, man. No. Oh, God.

[Brooke]

You don't have to feel bad he's got to feel bad in this situation.

[Jeffrey]

Decker, you there?

[Decker]

Yeah, I'm here, Decker.

[Jeffrey]

You know what? More than anyone, I believe that there's always two sides to any story.

[Alexis]

Okay, I'll let you take his side then, on this one.

[Jeffrey]

I'm not taking a side. I'm just wanting to hear what your explanation is, Decker, for what we just heard.

[Decker]

Yeah, well, exactly. There are two sides. And the thing is, is, look, if you've been to a concert, you know that this was big money. I didn't want to spend all that money to go to this concert and then see the back of somebody's head.

[Brooke]

Oh, so not only did you not do it because you couldn't get tickets, you just wanted better seats?

[Decker]

Yeah, I paid for the tickets. I paid for the tickets.

[Brooke]

They're not for you. You're not allowed to buy those tickets. They're not for you.

[Jose]

There could have been somebody who to go to the concert who's like, I don't know, has crutches and they couldn't go because of you.

[Brooke]

You're an able bodied man.

[Decker]

Exactly. I am able bodied. But Kelsey, she's not. She had the crutches in the boot.

[Jeffrey]

Oh, my God.

[Valerie]

How many other women have you gotten into this boot?

[Jose]

Oh, my God. Yeah. Does this work ever, bro?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, Is that, is that a normal ploy that you've done before?

[Jose]

He said he goes a lot of.

[Alexis]

I don't know if I want to hear the answer.

[Decker]

No, I bought them for this day date.

[Jose]

That's it.

[Brooke]

And you didn't measure your own foot before you bought it?

[Jake]

What the hell?

[Brooke]

You throw her under the bus?

[Decker]

No, look, it was a deal that I got online. I was hustling to get this date with her because I. I want to make it special, okay?

[Jose]

He.

[Jeffrey]

He knew that Kelsey was a big country fan and was willing to do whatever it took in order to get her into this amazing show.

[Jose]

Oh, yeah.

[Brooke]

How romantic, Jeff.

[Valerie]

Well, that's something. No, that's something that you confer with your date about in advance. Like, I don't even think I could enjoy that even if we were dating for a year. I don't think I could do that.

[Jose]

Wow, chivalry's dead.

[Brooke]

I hope you could just say you could never do that. I don't know the length of the relationship.

[Jeffrey]

Well, I mean, how good are these seats in this particular section? They sound pretty good. From what Decker's saying.

[Jose]

She'll be in a first body cat.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah.

[Decker]

All right, look, it didn't happen. It's in the past, I was able to sell the tickets for a profit anyway, so it's all good.

[Brooke]

So someone who was actually disabled who could have bought the tickets wasn't able to because you purchased them and then they were.

[Jeffrey]

They were in the disabled section. So it must have been a disabled person that got to go for the show just for a little bit more money than they would have paid otherwise.

[Jose]

The tickets come with a free boot. Here, put this on.

[Valerie]

Decker, I just want to say, like, it just makes you think, like, what other kinds of lies are.

[Brooke]

Okay, yeah, like, him think that, like, come up with something like who you're friends with.

[Jose]

Right?

[Brooke]

Like what celebrities you've actually met and what celebrities you haven't. Decker.

[Decker]

I've met a lot of celebrities, Brooke. I don't know who you're talking about specifically.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, he's talking about us, obviously, because he's a friend of the show. Friend of mine. Maybe I shouldn't have said that.

[Valerie]

I'm sorry.

[Brooke]

I'm not claiming Decker.

[Decker]

Okay, okay, look, you've all made your point, okay? We just. We don't see eye to eye on this. But what I'm going to say is the past is the past. And look, Kelsey, like I said, I made a couple extra bucks off of it. Why don't we pretend that this didn't happen and let's go to another concert.

[Valerie]

You want to go out on another date and use the money you made off of disabled people?

[Jeffrey]

You say it that way.

[Jose]

We don't know if they were disabled.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God.

[Jose]

Not officially.

[Decker]

Doesn't matter who bought the tickets. Okay, I don't know. Just. Just go out with me again.

[Jeffrey]

And if you say yes to another day, we would pay for it.

[Brooke]

We would not. I am not participating in this.

[Jeffrey]

We'll at least pay for the handicap parking sticker that he'll put on his car. Okay, well, what are we going to do then, Brooke?

[Valerie]

We're just.

[Brooke]

She's not going to say yes. Kelsey, would you ever say yes to this in a million years?

[Valerie]

Yeah, no, I'm going to say no. It's like, there's got to be a line, right?

[Jeffrey]

There is a line. There's a special shorter line to get in if you sit in the disabled section and you can get in faster.

[Valerie]

I'm sure there is.

[Jeffrey]

All right, well, I think you've learned your lesson here. For the next time you take a woman out, it's two boots, two sets of crutches. That way you're not putting her in a weird position.

[Jose]

Yeah, dude, full body cast, if you think about it.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, there you go. Have somebody else, will you, with Jeffrey in the morning. They say out of great crisis comes great opportunity, Jeff. And already on the text line at 78592, somebody says they came up with a new business plan. Plan to buy concert tickets in the disabled section and upsell them the day of.

[Brooke]

That's being sarcastic, Jeff.

[Jeffrey]

Personally, I am horrified by it. I didn't even want to read that. But I did see Brook's reply that said if somebody does launch this, she wants 20% of the profits because it technically was her idea. Brooke, savvy business. I like that about you.

[Brooke]

You know, you don't always have to side with our listener. Like, sometimes people cross a line. Line so far that it's okay to say, sorry, buddy, it's not going to work.

[Jeffrey]

Well, that's not very entertaining, is it? Somebody's got to try and stand up for the bad things that people do.

[Jose]

At this point. At this point, I feel like the listeners need to try to break you, Jeff. What can they get away with that? Jeff will not endorse.

[Brooke]

I feel like that sentence is the hill you're going to die on.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah, well, that's my job. And at least that. Overall, that was a pretty easy no that we got out of the whole conversation. But there's plenty of yeses out there. They're up in our second date podcast.

[Jose]

Yes.

[Jeffrey]

We've got hundreds of them, and you can binge them all if you want to on Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your podcast, you'll find them at Brooke and Jeffrey. It's Brook and Jeffrey in the morning, and it is time for us to recognize our hero of the week. All right, this week's heroes. Teenagers.

[Brooke]

Hey, good for you, Ted, because you.

[Jeffrey]

Know how it goes. When they're in school, nobody wants them to be on their cell phones in class, texting their friends and socializing and practicing their communication skills. That is not okay, kids. You need to be learning how to calculate the tangent of a hyperbolic paraboloid rotated along the z axis, because that is real life.

[Jose]

You're gonna need that one day. You're gonna use it.

[Brooke]

I used it last week.

[Jose]

That's.

[Jeffrey]

But that's why at least 18 states have implemented school cell phone bans. The thing about teens, though, is they evolve.

[Jose]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

They adapt. They overcome. So how are they getting around the no cell phone rules? Got two words for you. Google Docs.

[Brooke]

Google Docs. Oh, my God. They're, like, sharing Google Docs as, like, passing Notes, essentially.

[Jeffrey]

It's brilliant, isn't it, Brooke?

[Brooke]

Good job, kids.

[Jeffrey]

They all have lab in class now, so they just open a live Google Doc with all their friends, which gives them real time access to it so they can all just type and chat with each other all class long. They basically reinvented the AOL chat room.

[Jose]

You and I should do this, bro.

[Brooke]

They've come so far since passing notes, you know.

[Jose]

Yeah, you should just be like circle yes or no.

[Jeffrey]

And that's the best part because all the teachers have no idea. They just think, oh, why? Wow, look at all these kids. So busy taking notes. What good students we have.

[Brooke]

The teachers probably have access to all their Google Docs.

[Alexis]

They can see it, I think.

[Valerie]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

So just be careful.

[Jeffrey]

Not if you create a private Google Doc for only the students. You can.

[Brooke]

No, they have firewalls, school computers. They have access.

[Jeffrey]

The students have figured out a way around it. You can't outsmart the teens.

[Jose]

Jeff is talking to the students somehow, guys, and that's.

[Jeffrey]

That type of resourceful and desire to do anything but learn is what makes modern teenagers our heroes of the week. I just hope some teenagers are listening to our next segment because there will be zero learning during Laser Stories. That's coming up right after this.

[Jose]

Hello, it's Laser Stories.

[Jeffrey]

It's the radio segment that's making toilet time free fun with a new kind of toilet paper called PDF Flush.

[Jose]

Oh, no.

[Brooke]

PDF.

[Jeffrey]

PDF. It prints out all of your work emails directly onto your teepee so you can finally show your boss how you really feel about his daily meeting reminders.

[Valerie]

Oh, wow.

[Brooke]

That's as close as you'll come to reading your emails, Jeff.

[Jose]

Until you're like, oh, no, that was important.

[Jeffrey]

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 inbox incels just don't. This first laser story is out of the leader in lasers by a wide margin, Florida. A 31 year old man named David Martinez woke up one morning, looked outside and noticed something strange in his front yard.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Jeffrey]

Dozens and dozens of tampons were everywhere.

[Jose]

That's a lot of.

[Brooke]

Yeah, those things are not cheap.

[Alexis]

Pick those up and keep them.

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Officials say there were 75 to 100 tampons in total, hanging from trees, strewn over walkways, and even found inside his mailbox.

[Jose]

Ain't nobody got time for that.

[Brooke]

Maybe it's his lawn's time of the month. You guys, you shouldn't judge.

[Jeffrey]

That's true. Changing Seasons and whatnot. That's why immediately David suspected the culture culprit. A 28 year old woman named Gabrielle Franze. He dumped her a few weeks back, and she was having some issues with their breakup, so police paid her a little visit to ask a few questions. And Gabrielle initially denied that she was there or even knew where her ex lived.

[Brooke]

Oh, wait, what's his name? I've never heard of that man. He says we dated. Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

When she was shown security camera footage of her truck outside his home, she changed her story and said it was her mom and aunt's idea to do tampons.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

What again? Juice teepee.

[Jose]

Like that's expensive.

[Brooke]

I mean, the impact is not what you think it is.

[Jeffrey]

The other issue is that Gabrielle's a local firefighter, so she's been placed on paid leave and was charged with two counts of misdemeanor stalking.

[Brooke]

Access to a fire hose, and you go with tampons. Interesting.

[Jeffrey]

One witness commented, people can do crazy things when they feel jilted by an ex, but covering their lawn with a hundred tampons? Seems like you might need some therapy.

[Brooke]

Yeah, well, you're gonna need tampons because.

[Jeffrey]

Next laser story is out of Denver. There's an ultra runner event coming up that's making headlines.

[Alexis]

Not Ultra running.

[Brooke]

Oh, sorry. So crazy.

[Jeffrey]

It's called the International Taco Bell 50K.

[Decker]

What?

[Jose]

Hey, this one's for me.

[Jeffrey]

So. Yes. 5, 0.

[Jose]

Oh, wait.

[Jeffrey]

50K.

[Jose]

Damn.

[Jeffrey]

Comes out to 31 miles.

[Jose]

N. Never mind.

[Jeffrey]

The race is a loop throughout Denver and includes mandatory stops at 10 area Taco Bells.

[Jose]

What?

[Brooke]

I mean, I guess if you're burning that many calories, maybe it'd be good to take in some. Some. Some Taco Bell. Yeah.

[Jose]

Burning a hole to the back of your running shoe.

[Jeffrey]

There's some positives to it. Here's how it works. You have to order something at nine of the ten different Taco Bells.

[Jose]

Oh, you have to.

[Jeffrey]

And you actually have to eat the food. Tasty.

[Brooke]

That's like a challenge.

[Jeffrey]

That includes one Chalupa supreme or one Crunch Wrap Supreme.

[Brooke]

They even have a list of what you have to get.

[Jeffrey]

You have to hit one of those by the fourth stop. Oh, and one Burrito supreme or Nacho Bell Grande by the eighth stop.

[Jose]

That's gonna be the stomach.

[Brooke]

The only ultramarathon. I want to go and watch the finish. Oh, there is gonna be some sad people coming over that line.

[Jeffrey]

And you need to cross the finish line of the 31 miles within 11 hours.

[Jose]

Oh, wow.

[Brooke]

Dang.

[Jeffrey]

So you do need to keep all of your receipts and your food wrappers to prove you have actually did it.

[Brooke]

This is kind of interesting because it's really against all other Taco Bell customers.

[Jose]

Yeah. It is like a social experiment.

[Jeffrey]

And they say drinks do not count as food.

[Jose]

Wow.

[Brooke]

How dare they? How dare they.

[Jeffrey]

Naturally, this is a very challenging race for your own digestive system. But you've got to keep it all down. They have a zero tolerance policy on vomiting. If you do, you're immediately disqualified.

[Alexis]

Do you go through the drive thru? Like run through or you in line?

[Brooke]

Doesn't matter how you get it. I've got to get it.

[Jeffrey]

You are banned from Encore stomach medicines too. Including Pepto, Pepsid, AC, Alka Seltzer and Mylanta.

[Brooke]

Those are considered PEDs.

[Jeffrey]

Now you are able to use the bathroom as much as you like.

[Jose]

Oh.

[Jeffrey]

But you can only use Taco Bell restrooms along with one other approved public toilet, so. Oh my gosh.

[Jose]

By the torture.

[Brooke]

By the fourth one, you're just not leaving. You're just staying with Taco Bell. Can you imagine the line?

[Jeffrey]

The race is in its eighth year and this time they're expecting around 600 participants.

[Jose]

Hey, we shouldn't be talking crap.

[Jeffrey]

It sounds like it's popular. For the record, Taco Bell is not affiliated with this in any way. And they won't even comment on it.

[Jose]

Wow.

[Jeffrey]

Organizers legal reasons that that's what the organizers think. It might be something to do with their legal team because if they try to endorse it, they may open themselves up to liability issues.

[Jose]

Right.

[Jeffrey]

But at the same time, they probably don't mind the publicity either.

[Jose]

Sure.

[Jeffrey]

This next laser story is out of Halloween headquarters. I'm sure you could be a pirate or a mummy this Halloween, but if you want to have your finger on the pulse of what's happening now. That's why the publication Variety put together a list of the best pop culture Halloween costumes. So here's some of the Halloween highlights for this year. One option is to be a labo.

[Jose]

Boo.

[Jeffrey]

Those collectible plush toys. They're already pretty creepy, but now they could be human sized if you dress as one.

[Jose]

I've been seeing that.

[Brooke]

Me too.

[Jeffrey]

Another pop culture costume possibility is Brad Pitt's character Sunny Hayes in F1.

[Brooke]

Oh, cuz you dressed up as a F1 driver.

[Alexis]

F1 drivers is really.

[Jose]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

A race car outfit. Or how about T. Taylor Swift in her Life of a Showgirl era? You could do that.

[Brooke]

It's not getting the love that everybody expected it.

[Jeffrey]

I know.

[Jose]

So beware I know.

[Jeffrey]

Or maybe you're in a desperate need of a group costume and you work on some kind of popular morning radio show. Then why not go with the girl group Huntrix from K Pop Demon Hunters.

[Jose]

Yeah. And the Saja Boys.

[Alexis]

So all of our listeners commented.

[Jose]

Yeah, my stream. Everyone just wants us to be K Pop Demon Hunter.

[Jeffrey]

Other popular tandem costumes include Glinda and El Fuba from Wicked.

[Jose]

Elab. Come on, say it right.

[Brooke]

Eluba. Have you not seen no respect?

[Jose]

He thinks she's Latina.

[Brooke]

I thought you were a Broadway boy.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, I'm going to go with the larger sized costume around the waist for El fa. Or you could be Charlie XCX versus Taylor Swift.

[Jose]

Yeah, now that's going to be with some boxing gloves.

[Jeffrey]

That's trendy. And if that doesn't work, you can always go as a non controversial Sydney Sweeney.

[Brooke]

Oh, getting better every day.

[Jeffrey]

She's always in the news.

[Jose]

Yeah.

[Jeffrey]

As for me, I'm thinking of not participating in this year's Halloween costume and just tucking my head into its shell. But good news, there's some candy in there. Something sticky and sweet.

[Decker]

I don't know.

[Jeffrey]

Sound means laser. Stories have come to an end for the day. We're gonna do it again. Same time on Friday.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeffrey]

Today's player lives with regret.

[Brooke]

Uhoh.

[Decker]

Oh, no.

[Jeffrey]

Her name's Valerie. She's played Brooke a few times. But the loss that she suffered is the burden she now carries. And her child won't let her live it down. Cuz Valerie found out hello Kitty's bow is red.

[Jose]

Yes, it is.

[Jeffrey]

Not pink.

[Jose]

Oh.

[Jeffrey]

Can you imagine the humiliation that she has been living with now? Whenever she sees hello Kitty online or on a backpack or at the mall, she hides her face in total shame. Oh, no.

[Brooke]

Haunted by the kitty.

[Jeffrey]

Yes. Can she crawl out of her den of embarrassment? And better question, will there be another trivia about the color of something in today's game? We will find out. Valerie, welcome back to the show.

[Decker]

Hello.

[Brooke]

Wow. I mean, did all that ring so true for you?

[Valerie]

Oh, yeah. My seven year old likes to point it out every time she is in.

[Decker]

Love with you guys.

[Valerie]

We listen every morning on the way to school.

[Jose]

So what's her name? Name?

[Valerie]

Freya.

[Brooke]

Freya.

[Jeffrey]

Freya.

[Brooke]

Yeah. The smart one in the family.

[Jose]

Hey.

[Jeffrey]

Maybe Freya can finally forgive her mother if she's able to pull out a victory today. We'll find out. Brook's gonna leave the studio and you know how it works. You got 30 seconds to answer as many questions as Possible if you don't know and you could say pass. But you have to beat Brooke outright if you want to win. Are you ready?

[Valerie]

As I'll ever be.

[Jeffrey]

Good luck. Not that you need it. Your time starts now. Today is National Fluffernutter Day. Fluffernutters are sandwiches made with peanut butter. And what else?

[Valerie]

Marshmallow fluff.

[Jeffrey]

What Hawaiian city's name translates to sheltered harbor in English?

[Valerie]

Honolulu.

[Jeffrey]

The sun produces solar energy. What type of energy does the moon produce?

[Valerie]

And if that ends up being the thing that makes you lose, oh, my gosh, this is gonna be super embarrassing. But now that Brooke is back in the studio, it says on my screen her fall season is Valerie's jam. She loves Halloween. Do you have your house decorated yet, Valerie?

[Valerie]

We are just putting the finishing touches on. My husband is, I think on the ladder, probably on the roof right now. I should probably be spott him. In fact, like a spider, we have giant inflatable kraken tentacles coming out of our window.

[Jeffrey]

That's so awesome.

[Brooke]

That's really fun. How much candy, like, do you guys do fun size or full size at your house to give out?

[Valerie]

We are too rural and we don't get trick or treaters. So I make humongous gift bags for my kids classroom.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's so sweet.

[Jeffrey]

That's so good because whenever kids visit Brook's house, she takes makes candy out of their bags.

[Valerie]

I believe that.

[Brooke]

Are you not supposed to do that?

[Jeffrey]

Yeah. Most people give the candy to the children.

[Brooke]

There's a choice. Trick or treat. I pick the treat every time.

[Jake]

It's nice.

[Jeffrey]

Victory for you and your family. So cool. Maybe it's something that you want to adopt this year, Valerie.

[Jose]

Maybe.

[Valerie]

No, I don't think so.

[Jeffrey]

Okay, something to think about.
