Okay, it's a Wednesday, and you know what that means. We have a brand new what's on your mind for you. Hey! And today, Jeff gets a little mad at all of us for finding something funny that he doesn't find so funny. I don't know how to describe it, maybe because it's making fun of him. He got bullied by our own co-workers. Producer. You got to stick around for what's on your mind to hear it.

And speaking about what's on our mind, Michaela commented, you know what's on my mind? my aunt left my uncle for his twin brother. How do you leave Greg for Craig? What? And they're twin? What is the tiny slight difference that made him better? Yeah, how identical are they? It's like got to be one little thing.

He likes cheese and you don't. Family dinner's got to be really awkward now. Yeah, oh my God, imagine Thanksgiving now. Does she have a twin that her ex-husband can seduce? So leave in the comments what's been on your mind as you listen to ours and a brand new full show starting right now. I think I'm going to have to address the elephant in the room. Why are you calling me that again?

It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. It is about Brooke. Oh, no! I was joking. If you've not gone online and read the news this morning, our own Brooke Fox has been featured in a not-so-great light. What are you talking about? I'm not in the news.

We're going to tell you about the situation, and then we'll have Brooke give her official comments. Oh, God. But basically, the first thing. phones have been ringing off the hook here from media outlets asking if Brooke wants to put out a public statement. We're not giving them anything until we address it here on the show first. I am so worried about what you're going to say. Yeah, what is happening. You should be worried about what you're going to say to the public because the story in the news is a local burger place

at a promotion doing free burgers for teachers. It's national teacher appreciation. And again, I'm just going off the report here. Brooke's going to give her some. of the story in just a sec. But the report states she marched into the establishment and told the staff, teachers in the house, and then she slapped the counter

and demanded a free burger. You're not a teacher. Hold on, you're going to get your chance here. Because when they asked her to show her credentials, she pulled up a photo on her phone of Jose in a Boy Scout costume.

And said, this is one of my held back children from my class. So, yes. Jose's like an entire first grade wrapped up into one man. Yeah, I'm the collective. Yay!

Don't try to justify your lies to us, Brooke. So yes, she did get the free burger. But then, Brooke got greedy. Went to four other locations doing the exact same thing. The managers were all talking on the phone about some crazy lady in a 1980 stand-up comedy blazer with shoulder pads

who's ranting, impersonating. impersonating a teacher. So Brooke got detained and was questioned by officers. That's basically all that I know. Did this really happen? We're running a little late here. Had to explain the whole thing. So Brooke, we have about three seconds for your official statement.

Go ahead. I appreciate all the teachers and I hope there was enough burgers to go around. That's all. Is that? Great. No, I'm sorry. I say guilty and the text board agrees. So while we mitigate this PR nightmare on our hands,

let's send it over to digital. Digital Jake who couldn't possibly bring the reputation of this proud show down any farther than it already is. Jim, I don't think she can fit in the jail cell with those shoulder pads. I'll go in sideways. Digital Jake, take it away. Did you know the name Steve is a masculine name of British origin that means crown or victorious or garland? Wow. I didn't know that.

What up, my buddy, Steve? And it derives from the Greek name Stephanos, because in ancient Greece, wreaths or garlands were given to victors to award them for success in competition. Ah. So if you want to... They're gladiators. Exactly. If you won a chariot race, they'd give you a nice leafy Steve.

Oh, okay. What? I can never talk to a Steve again the same way. If you looked up Leafy Steve on Urban Dictionary, it means something totally different now, so don't do that. Don't give him a Leafy Steve. You're asking, Jake, you handsome man, why the history lesson? Yeah.

Because we're celebrating the birthday of two famous steves today. Hey. Late night TV host Stephen. Colbert and Grammy-winning artist Stevie Wonder. So you'll be identifying the top 20 most famous steves of all time in a special Steve edition of Balenty of 20. We'll go around the room, you just have to name a famous Steve for my list to stay in the game, and these are all real steves, no fictional steves, they could be alive or dead,

and I've taken Stephen Colbert and Stevie Wonder off the list. Okay, okay, no trick. Sorry, Brooke. We'll start with the woman who's personally puked on four steves in different bars this year. That's Alexis. Sorry. Alexis, famous steves. Well, I'm going to go first one, probably easy one.

The office, Steve Correll. Yeah. Steve Carell. Number two on my list. The silver save is in play. Let's go over to Brooke. Okay, that was obviously top of my list as well. I'm sure it was ever done.

Yeah, first thing I thought. Not for me. You better go, oh, go ahead. This is a risky one to me, because I don't know. Interesting, it's the first round. I don't know if you make lists like this by, like, putting firecrackers in your butt, but I'm going to go Steve-O. Yeah, I was going to say Steve-O. Jack has a Steve-O.

He's famous. Is not in the top 20. Darn it. Jose, he's on our list. You hear the name Steve, and your first thought is butt firecrackers. Yeah, I wasn't sure if he meant me or him making the list that way. Jose, top 20, most famous Steve's, only Steve. Correll is off the board right now.

I'm going to go Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs. Number one on the list. Oh my gosh, number one. That's a silver save, Jose. You get an extra life. Can't believe that came after firecrackers in the butt room. All right.

Let's go over to Jeffrey. Well, if I'm thinking Steve's, I have to go with Jose's favorite football player of all time. 49ers quarterback Steve Young. Jose, a very famous 49er fan. I hate the Niners. Steve Young. Number seven.

17 on the list. The lefty from BYU. We're back over to Alexis. I'm thinking the man whose daughter I was jealous of for a very long time, which dated Michael B. Jordan. Good one. Stole my man temporarily. Steve Harvey.

Steve Harvey. It's number three on my list. The whole top three is gone now. Thought of another one. Really? Because you said Steve-O in the first round. That's insane that you think you'd get another chance. It's not a Jose.

Just because he's a legend in my heart. and I want it to be true. I'm going to say crookie, Steve Irwin. Oh, good one. The crocodile hunter, Steve Irwin, number 11 on my list. I can't believe how many famous Steve is. Yeah, I don't either. Me either.

It's over to Jeffrey. Well, I got to support my fellow Jews in the entertainment industry. Give me Steven Spielberg. Oh, Steven Spielberg. Number 14 on the list. We're doing well. Back to Alexis. I don't know if it counts, but I remember when I first found out who he was,

I had to Google it a lot to make sure it was Steph Curry, not. Like, Stephan, Stephen, Stephen Curry. Like, you know how to say his name. I don't know if that's a Steve, but I'm going to go, Steph Curry. Steph Curry did not make my list of Steve's. Interesting. Probably because his name is Steph. Like, what's it short for?

Stephanie. Yeah, whatever. Stephanie Curry. Let's go to Jose now. I'm hoping because he's a billionaire. He's popular enough. I'm going to Steve Wozniak. Steve Wozniak.

Number nine on the list. Okay. We're back to Jeffrey. West Side Story, Stephen Sondheim. What the heck? Who's there? The guy who wrote West Side Story? Yeah, he's not going to be on the list.

Brooke, if he's on the list. Dude, I have two other Stevens that would be better, Jeff. Hey, Brooke, guess what? You said Steva. I'm not going to let you read those other names. I'm going with my gut. Steven Sondheim. Steven Sondheim is not in the top 20. Jose, with the Silver Savingia Pocket, you've won today's edition of

plenty of 20. You're the king of the steves. Let's go over some steves you missed. Number four was Steve Martin. Number five was basketball Steve Nash. Number six, Stone Cold Steve Austin. Stephen Tyler, Stephen Segal. Stevie Nix was there.

Steve Aoki, the son of the Benny Hanna creator. Steve Buscemi. Stephen King, the author. Steve Kerr made it. Not Stefan Curry. Very close. He's the coach of the Golden State Warriors. Steph Curry's coach.

Steve Madden, fashion designer, Stephen Hawking and Steve Burns. the original host of Blues Clues made the list. What? Should have known that one. Okay. Well, Jose, you win,

so you get to choose who get shocked. Whoever it is going to sing Don't Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith. Oh, Stephen Tyler's band. She's my best friend, Brooke Fox.

It's Steve-O. Yeah. I thought that was Stephen Tyler. Oh, God. Don't want to close my eyes. I don't want to fall asleep. That's your shock. question of the day.

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. You know what I love about the TV show Friends? Is how realistic their friend group dynamic is. What do you mean? Realistic. Like they'll casually walk into each other's apartments uninvited at any time of day or night. And it's totally cool. Just like real friends.

That's so true. Just unlock. I have everybody who was a key to my place for emergencies. And if he just walked in, I'd be like, what are you doing? Get out of here. And plus in the middle of their workday, they all have hours and hours of free time so they can just leave their jobs and go hang out at a coffee shop for five minutes and leave. Totally. And who meets up before work?

No. Oh, so relatable. Meanwhile on this show, we barely have enough time to squeeze in one segment per week where we can catch up and find out what we've been thinking. Yeah. I wish we all live together, like across the hall. I'm good. Better make these next seven minutes count during a brand new what's on your mind. coming up right now.

It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And if a train station is where a train stops and a bus station is where a bus stops, I have a work station at my desk. So, hmm. Your work stop there? Is that what you're saying? Maybe we should just wrap this up so we can get to what's on your mind. You know you're supposed to work.

Where we go around the room and learn what each member of the show has been thinking about lately. Starting with Brooke, Brooke, what's on your mind? I just had the most amazing Mother's Day over the weekend. Oh, that's nice. And it was a little unexpected because my husband's been out of town. We've been dealing with a lot of family stuff right now. I'm not even going to go into it, but it's a lot. Sorry.

My kids, it was just my kids and I, and I didn't expect them to do anything. But they were so stinking cute, you guys. What did they do? They coordinated with our neighbor to get some baked goods for me because they can't drive yet. You know? Well, they can't, but you don't tell the cops on the air. They made me these awesome cards and some art and I just loved it and I just felt like so lifted by them and also by this community. We walked down to the farmer's market and we went and got books at their favorite bookstore.

And then we stopped on the way back and I got a glass of wine and we're sitting. I heard seventh of the day. Wow, your kids went and bought wine for you. That's so cool. They did. They are cool. Take this not to the clerk. But then I'm sitting in front of them just in awe of these little.

tiny people. Yeah. And those little brats wouldn't put their books down to hang out with me. Oh. Yeah. Nourns is right, Jake. Okay? I kept flicking the books and I'm like, hey, it's Mother's Day.

You got to talk to me. They're like swatting me away as if I'm a fly. You got to be bullied. Yeah, you need to bully done. What is happening? So, I mean, besides that hiccup, it was a great day. It was besides that hiccup. What's sweet little nerdy children?

Yeah. That's very nice, really. I'd be taking their books away from them soon. Jose, what's been on your mind? Well, if you didn't know already, other than being a radio host, I'm a video game streamer. And my crowd for that platform is 18 and older. All right, we talk about adult content. We use adult language.

We're adults. Yeah, it's like a required to be 18 to be on the stream. I mean. No, we're very immature. The other day, one of my subscribers hit me up and asked me a special question. Her son is turning 10 years old and is a huge fan of our show. and wanted to know if I could play Fortnite with him on my stream. And you said absolutely not.

Yeah, show me your ID, kid. No way. So I thought about it, and I said, okay, sure, but let me just warn my community before we have a child on. So I tell everyone, I'm like, hey, guys, keep it clean. Shouldn't be too hard. I mean, it's what we do here every day. So, kid comes on, 10 minutes in, everyone is behaving themselves except for one person. Uh-oh.

The kid. Oh, the birthday boy. The 10-year-old. This kid is swearing. What? Like, a lot. At 10. And then he's the one initiating convo's.

He's like, hey, man, you're dating anyone right now? What? And we are winning games. Like, he's really good. So we're getting dubs. We're winning more than I've ever won on stream. Oh, my God. So after it was done, I sing him with the community.

Happy birthday. Yeah. And I thank him for listening to the show. But it makes me wonder that I just put a 10-year-old on my stream that is. a hundred times cooler than me. And people are like asking for him now to come back. They're going to switch to his stream now.

Yeah, seriously. He's not old enough to have one. You're not old enough to have one. So tune in if you want to to my stream sometime. I'm at hilarious Jose. Yeah, just watch out for the children swearing. Alexis, what's been on your mind? So the other day I got like a random email that was like, hey, dual lingo user,

you want to be a part of a research study for $100. Oh. And I was like, cool. Yeah, exactly. I'm going to get $100. It sounds like a scam. I looked into it, not a scam. Don't worry.

I'm smart. I go to do it and it's an hour Zoom call and you get on with them. And so it's like me and this girl and they're just like asking you. Just one-on-one? Yeah, one-on-one. Oh. But she's recording the call to play in a future meeting with the research group. Okay.

And they're asking what they could improve about duolingo. And I was naming things like sometimes it's too easy. You can make it more difficult this way. Like, this is too easy. Oh, you had ideas. I had ideas. I made of Googled and copied other people's ideas online. I had ideas.

And then she's like, okay, great. Now I'd love to watch you go on the app and use it. Oh. So I had to turn my camera, and she had to watch me for 30 minutes do the app. And I was so bad. I was getting everything wrong, and it makes you keep redoing it. I was running out of lives, and I'd have to wait for them to reload. See it too easy.

Yeah, and I had pipe myself up, but then I got so nervous knowing she's watching me. Oh, that's why. Yeah. One hour later, I did get $100. It was very embarrassing And I don't know where that video of me Ended up Yeah

And could you say that in Spanish? No No You're going to end up in a commercial one day And they're like, don't be like this one That's my fear You're the before video That's so fun for you

Yeah If the email you watch out Be prepared 100 bucks is 100 bucks There you know Well earned All right Jeffrey what's on your mind Well I got to do a little

Like pull back of the curtain here for the show, like a little look behind the scenes. Because I know if you're listening, this show may sound like it's all put together in less than 30 seconds and we just go for it. But in reality, it takes a lot of work every single day to put this together.

And our producer, producer Boyd, he constantly is preaching speed. He says stuff does not have to be perfect, just good enough to go on the air. Well, you are a crazy perfectionist who takes way too long to do all of it. Well, my work style.

ever since childhood is, yes, the opposite. So you got speed on the producer's side, perfection on my side. Those two mindsets don't always mesh. Okay. Which is why the other day, producer Boyd decided to create an AI song about me so that he could vent his frustrations. I can't wait to hear this. I will say I'm a little annoyed because some show members have already heard it.

And I don't appreciate how hard they laugh whenever they hear it. Bring it. Let's play it. I ever heard it. I don't think Brooke or Jose, I don't know if Alexis is heard it. I heard how funny it was from our other co-workers. Of course you have. So I'm gonna play it for everybody. The title is Jeff Takes Forever.

Let's hear it. Another Tuesday staring at the screen the most elaborate stalling I have ever seen. He's trying to write a single killer tease while doing anything, but bring our minds to eat. Oh, Jeff takes. It's not that. Commercial together. I'm like, oh, God, here we go. I like working hard.

like working hard to make this show great. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That's what it is, Jeff. That's what's been on our minds. You can text in to 7-8-5-9-2 and tell us what's been on yours. Or request that Jeff takes forever.

Yeah, I'm sorry. Don't be laughing at home. It's not that funny. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and we just shared what's been on our mind. So listeners are texting into 7-8-5-9-2 telling us what's been on theirs. One says the second date update with Scott and Caroline on your podcast in the fall. of 2024 was very interesting.

I feel like it paralleled Brooke and Jeffrey's relationship. What? Yeah, we got to turn that one back. I've got to go back in here. It's been a long time since I heard a woman crush a man's hopes and dreams. That sounds like fun. Oh, I thought it was a sexual tension thing. Are you listening to the show every day, Jeff?

I'm trying not to. This next one comes from Sarah in Texas. She says the most shocking part of Jose's birthday video was seeing Jeffrey inside the gaming van playing Super Mario. Jeffrey loves a game. He actually does. He's been on my streams before.

It says, I didn't know y'all let him out of that ox booth. No, we really don't. Another dark room. I mean, we kept him on a leash. Yeah. It is similar to prison. I'm allotted five minutes of outdoor time

before I'm led back in and put to work. That's only once a month that you get to outdoor time. I enjoyed it while at last. And one more, this one is from South Carolina. It says, My ADHD loves how dysfunctional you guys are. I've told so many people about y'all. I even met a random dude at the gym

because we both listened to second date updates. That's so cool. I love that when people bond over us. They probably met in the steam room at the gym. That's how I start most of my friendships. You just play second dates on there? It's the best place to listen. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

I think the most fun part about dating isn't the actual dates. It's over-analyzing every little detail around it with all of your friends. Oh, with your friends makes it fun. Yeah. By yourself makes it misery.

Totally. But when you get a group of friends together and it's like, okay, he just texted me, ha-ha. And they're like, well, was it ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-oh. It was the first H-capitalized because if it was, huge red flag. Oh, oh. Is this what Boys Night Out looks like for you guys?

Yeah. Oh, it is so fun to overthink it. Yeah. And that's why we break down tones. We do. That's why we absolutely love this next segment where we break down and laugh at every strange detail of the worst and most chaotic dates our listeners have ever been on. So get out your detective hats and magnifying glasses for a brand new battle of the Tinder dates. It's coming up right after this.

Two hopeless daters. One dating app that dares you to swipe right. The question is, whose love life is more tragic? It's Battle of the Tinder Dates. It's the dating game show that spices up his naughty text by asking his mother what he should write. Oh, no. Battle of the Tinder Dates, where two of our listeners go head to head to find out whose dating life is the most tragic. Yeah.

We'll explain the rules in just a second, but first let's meet today's contestants. In this corner, he likes his make-out sessions to be as dry as a desert. Yuck. That's how he got the nickname, Tumns. Humble Weed, Reed. I have to take a sip of one. The terrible Tinder date camp is here, fellas. He's coming in confidence.

He crowned himself the champ already. I don't know. I feel dusty just even talking to him. And in the other corner, he embraced the dark side and is always down to Netflix and clone. That's why the ladies call him Storm Trooper Cooper. Hey. Look up. All right, Cooper.

All right. Our contestants are ready, and here's how the game works. One will start by telling one of their worst date stories. The other will try and counter with the nightmare story of their own. We're going to go back and forth for three rounds until we declare a winner, starting it off with Tumbleweed Reed. Let's do it. So I met a girl on Tinder, and she is really into working out she tells me, and I am too. So we go to the gym for our date.

Very cool until she tells me that I need to yell at her in a foreign accent. She needs me to scream motivation in German. Wait, she- German specifically. I mean, it is angry-sounding, no matter what you say. Totally. You get like five more reps in if someone's yelling at you that way. Were you able to. She's trying to yell stop and he keeps going.

Were you able to do it for her? I tried, but after she kept telling me to get louder and louder, I just couldn't handle the embarrassment. Screaming nine in the middle of the gym. She's like louder. He's like, no! All right, Storm Trooper Cooper, can you counter? Yeah, man, this girl I was up.

She invited me to come through her house party after the date, right? Okay. So we get there and everyone starts congratulating her. And I'm asking, what are they congratulating you about? Exactly. She said it's her divorce party. And she's signing the papers right there. Oh, my God.

But you know it's official, right? There's no gray area. Exactly. She wants to make it official before we, you know, do the freaky digie. Oh, so you did? Wait what? I didn't feel good about it, but I did. Oh, wait a minute.

It's not official until you. you seal it that way. Hey, let that woman celebrate. However she wants, okay? Oh, God. Reed, we're back to you. No, no, that sounds like a great date to me. My date on the other hand.

She was incredibly honest with me when we met up. She told me she's got another situation ship going on. Okay, that's good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm cool with that. I'm thinking I'm going to win out in the end. Yeah. She told you.

So we hang out a few more weeks, and then she admits that the other person is chat GPT. I almost thought you said Chad. What kind of is Chad GPT now? What is she talking about? She's telling me that they talk every night. They have so much in common. Yeah. In common.

What? Oh, God. In the end, she has me write her a poem. Chad GPT writes a better one she breaks up with me. Wow. Oh, darn it. God, AI's taking over everything. Cooper, you got your work?

cut out for you here. Oh, man. I was with this girl, and we stopped in this furniture store, and she asked me to pretend like we were like newlywed so that she can get this like wedding registry discount or whatever. What? So I went along with it. Okay. But what she didn't tell

me is that she was then going to frame me for cheating on her and she pretended that she just found out right there in that moment. Oh. Is there a cheating discount or something? I don't know about that, but she definitely got a sympathy. discount because she was in tears. She was putting on a great show. Oh. Oh my god. And the furniture

store people are like, oh, I feel so bad for you. Here's another 20% off that couch. The worst thing is that she winks at me on the way out. Oh, that's petty. Good work, buddy. You saved me a pretty penny there. All right, we're on to our third and final round here. We need your best stories, gentlemen. So tumbleweed read. Give it to us. So I meet the girl on a dating app. She's 29 years old, says she really wants to plan this first date, tells me to dress up real nice that we're going to go somewhere fancy, and she's paying. That's exciting.

That's really cool. And she's paying? And she's paying. Nice. What a catch, bro. Marry her. Before the date. So I show up.

She's in a full-length, sparkly dress, tells me she's super excited. She went to limo for us. Whoa. And we're going to crash her old high school prom. What? Oh, my God, it's so cringe. Like, not even go to, like, the reunion.

She's 29. Oh. No, not the reunion. This year's actual prom. Why? Apparently, she never went, and she's always wanted to go. They turn us away at the door. Yeah.

Wait, you actually showed up? Yes. Yes. You would have been buying beer for so many underage kids. Yeah, totally. They would just think you guys were caprone. Oh, it was almost a great date. So, Cooper, this is your last chance.

That's why. That's this one girl online. And, you know, she liked that I was fluent in French. I'm fluent in French, by the way. Oh, okay. That's huge. Yeah. But when I show up to our date, she's there with another guy, and he's French, too.

Oh, wow. Oh, Monash. Oh, that is a French one. Yeah. Is that what we're doing? Yeah. So she tells me that he just flew over to meet her, and hopefully I'd be cool with being there translator.

You're not even part of it That's a cheap way to get a translator Bro, I would have said yes She just translated everything wrong Like she keeps saying you're ugly bro I don't know why What did you do? She ended up paying me like $50 for like half the hour

Wait you did it? Oh yeah I did it I got money And the real French guy wins again Yep don't they always All right there's the final bell That means the match is over judges

We need to score it Alexis who are you giving it to? I'm going read for the prom I can't get over that We got one vote for Reid, Brooke? Yeah, another vote for Reed for that prom fiasco. I wouldn't too if anyone would have. That means congratulations.

Tumbleweed, Reed. You are our sad single of the week. And as a prize, Brooke will tell you one sexy gift that her husband gave her one time. Oh, I can't wait. It's so hard to choose. I got a dish soap container. Oh, feel free to steal that idea to get to your next date, Reed. It was for dishwashing soap, not hand soap.

Careful. You're turning everybody on, Brooke. Text in to 7-8-5-9-2. If you want to appear on the next edition of Battle of the Tinder dates, your phone tap's coming up right after this. It's time for your prank phone call. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And there's a certain phone-tap character who makes an appearance on this show from time to time.

His name is Clover. Oh, yeah. He's former British black ops, and today he's been given a new assignment to figure out who stole a young woman's food delivery from the lobby of her apartment. And even though it may seem like a small issue, I guarantee you,

he is going to take this matter very, very seriously. Probably too seriously. Definitely too much so. In your phone tap right now. Brooke and Jeffrey's phone taps on the 20s. Hello? I, is this Jane of a-ass? Yes, who's this?

My name's Frank, but me mates call me clover. I think you have the wrong number. I don't believe I do. Is Gina, right? Yeah. Right. Well, I'm the head of overnight security and shtha's apartments.

Oh, okay. Hi. Hi. I just got word from H.Q. Says you had a delivery last night that was, shall we say, compromised? Yes, I door-dashed some food. I said it was delivered, but when I went to the lobby, it was gone.

Good God. That's a hostile acquisition. Right on to me nose. I can't believe it. Imagine me. I didn't get my dinner that night. It completely sucked. I bet it did.

Who do you suspect it is, the Russians? I bet it's the Russians. I don't know. It could have been a neighbor. I mean, the guy in 304 is kind of weird. I don't know if he's Russian, though. No, love. This isn't just a...

one and done, parkage interception. All right? This has a smell of a much larger, more devious operation. I don't think so. I think someone got hungry and went ahead and took it. I need to know. What was in the order? What was inside that box?

I mean, I don't know what that has to do with anything. It was a lasagna from an Italian place. Hmm. I'm taking some notes. Lazzonia? Italian mob. Was that all you all you were? Yeah, there were some garlic knots and tiramisu, but...

Oh, dear God. This is even worse than I thought. What's worse about that? Okay, listen to me, all right? 2011, Belarus. I tailed a highly trained Parmesan thief who was doing this exact same thing. I lost track of him in the mountains over Tibet. What's the hell?

It's possible he's reappeared. You know, you're pretty dramatic for a concierge. Excuse me. I'm the head of overnight security. You're lucky I'm on your side. Okay, this is a little ridiculous. This is... Hmm, is it? This is way overblown.

If I see any suspicious blow, Carrie and ranch dressing with a military posture, bingo-bango. We move in and take them out. Take him out. What do you mean take him out? What is the ranch dressing have anything to do with it? That's the cue. That's always the cue. That's weird.

Oh, you have a better idea. I just think, and I've said this to you already, you're making a bigger deal of this than it needs to be. Why not just look at the security cameras? I see. You want to go to easy route, then, huh? Isn't that the point of the cameras? They do the job for you.

Okay, let's play your little game. Say we check the footage and find out who took it. Then they get a slap on a wrist. Meanwhile, organized snack crime runs rampant through the streets. Are you on drugs? Drugs? What's going on here? This is a matter of nothing.

National security. If we don't act now, millions of innocent lunches will be lost senselessly. Okay, listen, if you're not going to transfer me, just tell the main concierge that I used to know who took my food. And you're not being helpful. You know who's helpful is your friend Casey. I just found out he's the one responsible. He's compromised his whole phone call. What?

It means that you've been set up for a prank phone call on a silly morning radio show. Oh, my God. And you're on Brooklyn Jeffrey in the morning right now. Because this is actually Jose from Brick and Jeffrey in the morning. We're doing a phone tap on you. Wow, dude, you really nailed that accent. What accent are you talking about? That one right there.

That's creepy, man. You know, you could only hope and pride at Clover would be your building security. You'd be watched all night long. You'd be safer than a prince of Egypt. Thank you. You're welcome. And honestly, I'm so sorry about your lasagna. That's devastating.

the dessert? Yeah, I almost didn't do this prank phone call because you made me super hungry. Now I want tiramese. Broke and Jeffrey's phone taps on the 20s. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. If a girl you like asked to grab another round of drinks with you, the easy answer is yes. Yeah, yeah. Obviously.

But for some reason, our listener decided he didn't want to do things the easy way. Oh, goodness. He had to complicate it. And now he's worried that what he said immediately after, yes, might be the entire reason his date's not calling him back. Oh, no. He had it right there. I'm so close. Could it really be as bad as he thinks?

We're going to find out in your brand new second date update next. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. You know, you hear a lot of women say, why are all the good men either taken, gay, or dead? But we have one eligible guy who's apparently not. None of those things. Wait. He's not Colin from beyond?

No, he's just confused. Not confused in that way. Confused about why he's not getting a call back after his date. His name is Colin. Colin, can you confirm for us that you are not taken gay or dead? Yes, I can confirm. I think more importantly, can you confirm you're one of the good ones? Yeah.

That's the biggest struggle. I think so, yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay, well, since you're such a good guy, we'll try to help you out here. Tell us about the woman that you went out with recently. What's her name? Her name's Paige.

Oh, Paige and Colin sound cute together. Is it like a couple's name? Where'd you meet her? Tinder, actually. Are people still doing that one? We haven't heard about Tinder in a minute. You know, it's always been about Hinge and Bumble a lot lately. Well, that's where all the good guys are going now is to Tinder.

It's like come full circle, Jeff. Yeah. The thing is it's so successful, usually, that, they never have to ask for second dates. Oh, that's what it is. It just goes well immediately. But apparently not for you, Colin. Why?

What happened? It's a good question. Why do you help? I think he's like, let me throw it back to you. We had a great date. I mean, we went to place Mulligans. It's like kind of an Irish pub kind of place. Good day for an Irish pub.

Why did you choose there? Or maybe you did it. Maybe she did. No, I picked it. It has this great happy hour menu, so I thought it would be a cool, like, kind of casual spot. Probably got good fish and chips.

Is that what you guys had? No, we actually, we just had like a happy hour pizza. We shared it. Oh, even better. Pizza and Irish bar. You know what to do seafood first days? Let's hear about Paige movie. That was definitely a microwaved pizza that you got.

Those are good, though, at bars. They're really, really tasty after you've had a few drinks. What is it saying, Dejornos on it? Tell us more about Paige. She's really cute. She has a great hair. Like, that's kind of why I liked her picture. Wow.

Don't laugh at him, Jeff. No, I'm sure. The hair was great. Anything about her personality? Yeah. Does personality even matter if you've got locks like Rapunzel? Yeah. No, I don't care.

I want to know about the date. No, it was fun. Like, we had a great time. I mean, like, I ordered drinks, ordered pizza, and then I kind of like settled up. And then she said, you want to get another drink? And I was like, yeah, sure. Like, do you want to? I mean, maybe this is it.

I was like, do you want to, like, get the second round? And she was like, yeah, sure. Oh. Oh, you ask her. You asked her to pay for the second round of drinks. Huh. Yeah, I mean, she said she wanted to get into the second round. And I just said, okay, you want to get it.

I mean, I don't know. It was totally, like, not a thing in the moment at all. Like, she was, like, totally cool with it. Okay. Okay. So she seems cool with it. But Alexis, what do you think? If a guy asked you to pay for the second round of drinks, how would you react?

I mean, if it's, like, naturally, yeah. But the way he said he didn't make it a big deal. But the way he's telling us now it feels like he made it a big deal. I don't know that. Did she shift at all? Did her energy shift at all after that? No, I mean, like I said, we were like, let's go somewhere else, and she was totally into that. I mean, then she was there before me.

So when we were kind of like getting up to leave, I said something to the effect of like, I thought like you were going to be taller. And I don't know, that like made her angry. But it shouldn't seem to. I just, I don't know, I'm trying to like, I'm spitballing stuff here. I'll tell you. That sounds like a joke though, bro. I wouldn't dwell on that. As a short girl, I love giving tall girl energy out.

So that would actually be a compliment to me. Yeah. You forgot. I was like, oh, God, you're so short. He didn't say. Yeah. He said, I thought you'd be taller. That's all I said.

I mean, and she was just like, no. I mean, we kind of just laughed it off. And then we did go to another spot together. We went to this place. It's like an arcade kind of art. Oh, that's fun. Did you request a stool for her to play the video games? I mean, she's not that short.

I just thought from her pictures she was going to be taller. I mean, it would have been a funny joke if you had, like, brought around, like, a little, like, child. stool for her to stand on. I thought the tall girl energy is fun. That is just now making fun of someone's height. Now I'm bullying.

It's like the joke should end. Okay. There's got these stilts back there? I'm right. Okay. Can you see you over the bar to order? Yeah. I think that's funny, but apparently it's good that you didn't do that.

I give you a drive home, but I don't have a child booster in the back seat. You tell Brooke has been bullied many times. A lot of trauma's coming out. So how was it at the arcade? Oh, totally fine. I mean, we had a few more drinks, which I paid for. We like played some games. It was totally cool.

And then we were leaving. I walked her back to her car. And then she's like, let me drive you back to where your car's parked. And I was like, okay, sure. But I was going to go. I mean, we kind of shared a little pizza for Happy Hour. When I was still hungry, I was like, I'm going to go get a burrito. There you still hungry.

And she was like, no, but I'll take you. So I went, she took me. We like swung through. I got a burrito. And she didn't get anything? No, I mean, I asked her if she wanted some. And she was like, no, I'm good. What?

Well, if you just had a pizza like an hour ago, it is a little... I mean, it was like a small happy hour pizza that we shared. Okay. Something changed. I feel a shift. Yeah. If you like someone, you'll order food even if you're not hungry. No, I didn't mean that.

Especially if they're paying. Yeah. It's interesting, though, like, she is still adamant about driving you. So she still wants to be around you more. Yeah. Like, because that would be an easy out for her to be like, peace. Yeah, for sure. I thought so.

And then we, like, kept talking and everything. I mean... You mean, like, tech. texting each other or? No, I mean, like, we kept talking while she was driving me. Oh, after I got the burrito and then I did, like, lean in for a kiss. She kissed me back. Oh, a little post burrito kiss.

I get it, Colin. This sounds like all great. Have you even tried to call her? I mean, I texted her, like, later, like, had a great time with you, you know, like, let's do it again. And she was just kind of like, yeah, okay, like, me too or whatever. And then when I've, like, tried to set something else up, she just hasn't even responded. Huh. Weird.

Well, it is weird, definitely. But there are two sides to every story. I mean, I wonder what she has to say about why she's not calling this good guy back. I don't know. I feel so accusatory, Jeff. Like, he did something wrong. It could just be that she has a lot of options on Tinder. I'm not accusing anybody.

I just want to know what she has to say. I don't know. The way you narrowed your eyes. I didn't take it that way. Okay, short queen. Yeah. Brooks got a little tall girl energy right now. I know.

Coming at me. Let's see what Paige has to say. If she even answers the phone when we come back. and do your second date update, good guy edition right after this. Hold on. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. We already talked about the saying, why are all the good guys either taken, gay, or dead? But there's also the saying good guys always finish last. So which one is it, Jeff, okay? Are they all like happy and taken?

Or are they all sad and losers? Exactly. The second one is definitely where our good guy, Colin, is feeling right now after he went on a what sounded like a pretty solid first date with the woman named Paige. They hit up an Irish pub, went to an arcade, got a burrito for him, not really for her, but there was even a kiss at the end of the night. So how is it possible this good guy is getting cold-shouldered? Colin, if you were to guess the one thing that's holding Page back, what do you think it is? I don't know if I was a guess, I'd probably say it's just the Tinder thing.

There's just a lot of people on Tinder. Like maybe she's just seen other people. I don't know. It's like notoriously the hookup app. No, but they do have that saying, why are all the good guys always on Tinder? So, Alexis, you wouldn't be on Tinder if you were looking for more than one date? No. In any defense, I've seen many girls that have a whole bio that's like, looking for love, swipe left if you're here for a hookup.

Maybe she wanted something else out of this date, Colin, and you didn't give it to her. I think what Alexis is saying is she just wanted a hookup, you guys. That's what I'm saying. Oh, and then she's done with it. Yeah, she didn't get what she was after when she was on the date with you, Colin. You're not a... You're not a... It's not a bad idea because she was adamant on driving him.

And usually that's your first step into getting him back to your place. Colin, did you do like the kiss and walk away? No, I mean, we were in the car. We were in her car and we kissed. I mean, I would have been down, you know. You were eating a burrito that doesn't scream I'm down. Well, let's see what the actual reason is. If she picks up the phone, we're going to call her right now.

Let's see how this goes. go. Hey, Paige. This is Jeff from the radio show, Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Hi, Paige. The whole show's here. Hey. What's up, Paige? Um, hi. I'm glad you're a big listener. Hey. Sorry, wait, wait, what did you say? We're a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey, and we're calling you right now because there's a rumor going around that you're dating guys and then not calling them back afterwards. It's just a rumor. It's just a rumor. Waiter, put her on the the defense immediately. That doesn't sound. It's not a rumor. Yeah. Well, there is a guy, apparently, that you're not calling back. I'm so sorry. I'm so confused. What is this?

I don't have a lot of time. When people aren't getting a call back after a date we do this segment called Second Date Update? Oh my gosh. Yeah. So we are calling about a guy that you met on Tinder recently, a good guy named Colin. Colin? What? Oh my God. Oh my god He asked you guys to call me Well yeah Going back to that rumor I was talking about Apparently you're not calling him back

He liked you Okay And so we just want to know From your perspective Like how was the date for you Because we've heard his side of the story Um Okay

Can you just use a word to describe it To start with? Sure I mean it was whatever I guess Whatever That's not the best word. Why do you say that?

You know, he's cute. But from beginning, the conversation wasn't really flowing. Oh. He actually brought up that he usually dates younger girls. Ooh. Which, like, number one, that's rude. Why would you say that on a date? Wait.

Are you older than him or something? Maybe by, like, one year, but we're basically like the same age. Okay. And then he also, like, two, number two, number two, He asked me to cover a round of drinks, which is weird because he asked me out. We actually heard about this. He told us that he asked you to do that, and he thought that you were cool with it. Well, I mean, I guess I was just like whatever with it.

But my mantra is broke boys never win. Oh. Oh. Okay. Harsh mantra is usually something you say over and over again to like pump yourself up or lead a different type of life. Yeah. It's usually an uplifting. sort of statement, not like a broke guys suck.

But why do you think he's broke? I think that from the sounds of what he was saying, it was more like... It was your turn. Yeah, it was... Like, he paid for drinks and it sounded like the pizza, too. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, don't you think? It just feels like if you ask someone out on a date, you should be the one.

So are you saying it comes down to him asking you to cover the second round of drinks? That's why you're not calling him back? No, well, there was like, there was more. You know, we went to the arcade, which was okay. but he commented about my height at one point saying, I thought you had model legs from your Tinder picture. Oh, whoa, whoa. Whoa.

That was his quote? Model legs? Yeah. It's like I'm short and my legs are something I'm into care about. So it's like weird for him to be like, I thought you had model legs. And basically saying it turns out you don't. Oh, that's a bad timing.

It's interesting because he's bringing up the same moments as you as like touch points on the date when we talk to him. but his versions are very different. So in a way, there's two sides to every story. Yeah. Yeah, that's insane. So we got the younger women, we got the pain for the second round, and we got the weird backhanded. And him not being aware that he said all of that stuff,

rudely. But the thing is that even if all that was like not to your liking, he said at the end of the date, you kissed him. Yeah, we did kiss, but he also had just finished a huge burrito that he was eating in my car. And I was trying to kind of end the date. So I was like, okay, I'll just be nice. And then he kisses me. And like, no lie, you guys, it was like kissing a dead body.

Like, oh. Why is that a turnoff exactly? Oh, God. So he was just eating. The burrito and the kiss? There was no energy on his point or movement or anything. Like, I don't. Yeah, like, this guy on the kiss, like the morgue or something, I don't get it.

Well, Jeff did say all the good guys could be dead. A lot of them are. There you go. Okay, well, a lot of points are working against Colin, clearly. That's probably a hard thing to hear. But definitely. Nobody likes to hear that you're kissing sucks. And he did hear that page because he's been on the other line of this phone call listening, waiting to talk to you.

No, he's not. Do I have to? Yeah, he's already there, Colin? Oh, my God. Wow, ouch. That's pretty harsh. Oh. Hey, she didn't know you were listening.

Yeah. I don't know. Like, you're actually saying that, like, you're mad that I asked you to buy the second round of drinks. I mean, you wanted to get another drink. Oh, wait. We're just going to forget the kissing. The kissing like a dead guy doesn't bother him. Yeah, I mean, the kissing thing bothers me. Okay, that wasn't great.

But, like, I'm not a cheap skate. I paid for everything else. Like, you're acting like, I'm like, broke guys finished last. I'm not. No, I don't think that was the mantra. What was it again, Paige? Broke boys never win. Yeah, broke.

And he's not broke. That's what he's saying. Colin, sorry to like go out of order here, but do you want to defend your kissing? Screw that. I mean, there was like nothing going on. I mean, like kissing her was like kissing somebody on life support. Like she wasn't giving me anything. Okay.

Oh, my God. You're both bad kissers. But you liked it so much you called us for this. I think his feelings might be hurt. Okay. Yeah. Hurt kissers. Yeah.

There's so many sayings and mantras that are coming out in this segment. At least you got a kiss? I don't know. I'd like, why would you want ever? want your first kiss to be a kiss where you've got like half a huge burrito in your mouth. Oh, you have a little extra flavor on the kiss. I don't think it's a terrible thing.

I offered you if you wanted some, you said no. I feel like this is devolving. Like we're concentrating on all the bad things. Like, I don't even know if there is a good thing. Yeah, sure. He was cute. That's it. Remember the dating site where they met where honest love happens every single time?

It's like a rom-com. I see. Tinder. True romance happens here. I'm probably done with Tinder, actually. If this is what was going to be like, if it's just like girls like her, then I probably will never use that app again. Oh, bro.

Wow. This is not sounding good. It sounds like you two are on totally different pages right now. But you know what two pages make up? What's that, Jeff? A book. Yes, they do. I would go with a pamphlet.

Some sort of reading material that could get you through some portion of time. And I would love to pick up that pamphlet and read more of it as we send you out on a second date? I think he wants to go out with someone with model-esque legs. So I'm not bad. That really hurt her. Yeah, Colin. Yeah, Colin, that was kind of rude.

Yeah, you know what, though? I do. I do want to go out with somebody with model left legs. Okay. Good luck, buddy. All right. So you're rescinding your invite, and I guess that means there's not going to be a second date for

Paige and Colin. Yeah, I mean, you would have had to pay for it because he's broke. Remember? No, no. much. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Fun update. After that call ended,

we got an email from Collins saying he wishes he was gay or dead after that experience. And he says, why not both? He says if any of our listeners actually believe the accusations made against him

that he kisses like a corpse, he is more than willing to defend that vigorously. Okay. So anyone who laughed at him he just wants to make out with now? Yeah. Right.

That'll show him. The main point is he's still a fan of the show at the end of the day, so we got what we wanted out of this whole experience. I know, but now he's going to go overboard, and instead of having dead lips, he's going to be way overactive in that case. Colin, my man, if you're still listening, there's a fine middle ground, you'll find it someday, okay? With that young, model-legged girlfriend that you've always wanted.

I don't make that part may happen. You get a little bit of something. And we can help you get a little bit of something if you need help in your dating life. Reach out to the show. We'll call that person who's not calling you back. Go check out all of our second dates. They're up wherever you get your podcast at Brooke and Jeffrey. The Social Security Administration just released the most popular baby names of the past year.

It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Has Jeffrey made a resurgence? Absolutely not. Not even close. The top ones for boys and girls are the same as they've been for the past seven years. Oh, that's a basic. I remember when we first reported on this a while back and we were like, oh, that's cute. I wonder how long those names are going to last.

Turns out a very long time. Because the most popular names are still Olivia and Liam. Oh, Liam. How do I forget it every year? And Oliver's way up there too. Yeah, I know. Actually, all of the top four boys' names are exactly the same as last year. It's number one, Liam, number two, Noah, then Oliver at three.

and Theodore at number four. Yeah, because you can call him Theo. The biggest change that happened on the girl's side was Emma, which used to hold the number two spot for years, has now moved all the way down to number three. Oh, wow. Just the ripples. Yep, in place of the emerging Charlotte.

Oh, Charlotte's adorable. Dude, I've got softball teams right now that I'm coaching, that they sound like a bunch of grandmas on the roster. All those old names are coming. back. The Social Security Administration says 3.6 million babies were born last year. And if you're pregnant right now, may I suggest

one of the fastest rising names for boys? It's K-A-I. K-A-I. That's kind of a cool name. It means fire in Japanese. Oh, that's cool. And for the girls, also spelled with a K, it's clarity. Oh, are the Kardashians pushing this one?

That's actually not one of the fastest rising names. I just personally like it. In fact, I wish we could get some clarity on this show. Maybe we'll get some during laser stories. It's coming up right after this. It's the radio segment that's helping you deter unwanted kisses with new Riggley's Arctic Albuquer. A stick of gum that makes your mouth smell like an open fish market. So now celibacy seems like it's your choice.

That's right. It's all thanks to laser stories. The second where we read weird news stories around the globe, just like everyone else does, except we've got a laser. Those other tuna tongers just don't. This first laser story is out of Florida. All right. The other night, a 37-year-old woman named Kayla Burris was inside her home with her sleeping baby when she heard a loud noise on her screen porch that was steadily getting louder. Uh-oh.

That's not good. And her mind raced to the worst possible situation that there were intruders trying to break into a sliding glass door. but she wasn't sure. So before calling 911, she ran over to the window and looked outside and could not believe what she saw.

It was right there on her lanai were two large alligators just going at it. Wait. Oh, going at it like that. Oh, yeah.

Oh, they were very happy alligators. I don't even know what that looks like. One of the beasts had shredded their way through the mesh of her screen and the other was seen biting the other one's tail. Oh, they're into that. Subductively.

So similar to humans. Yeah, interviewed by local news. Kayla said it was unlike any mating ritual she'd ever seen before. D. Implying that she's seen many of them before, but this one was unlike those. Well, it's Florida. She says both animals were making unworldly noises, and the largest gator had his jaws forced through her door. Oh my God!

Just a hold odd? That's how you know you're doing it right. And that's the pleasure time. Oh, yeah. Do you think she just got the pop-pocket? and set back for the show? I would. Watch on her ring camera.

Cops did send out a licensed trapper to take care of the animals, and that guy couldn't believe how intense the scene was. He deals with stuff like this all over the state, but this was the first time in his life he felt like telling the gators, geez, get a room.

That's how you know it's good. Let's go to your next laser story out of Texas. Last year, a 32-year-old thief named Jathan Glider stole three quarters of a million dollars worth of diamond earrings from Tiffany's. Wow. Dang. How?

You have to work there or something. Well, he was arrested because we know his name. So we didn't do it well. Now, when police caught him, Jathan did what any smart criminal would do and swallowed the evidence. Oh, no. You know, they can do x-rays and stuff. Yeah, it's going to come out. Yeah.

Didn't fool anyone, but Jathan wasn't sure. He asked cops, quote, Am I going to be charged with what's in my stomach? He actually has. He even regretted it, adding, I should have thrown them out the window. This was a dumb move. Jathan may not seem like the sharpest mastermind, but he thinks that he can handle the current situation he's in.

And I say that because he's elected to be his own lawyer. Good idea, Jathan. In fact, he just rejected a plea deal offer, which would have reduced his time in prison by decades. What? Oh, no. And instead has decided to represent himself at trial. It's unclear what kind of a defense he'll mount since the evidence against him

smells pretty foul. Because, yes, he did pass the two sets of earrings while in custody. Does that mean they get clean to put back on the shelf at Tiffany's? It's evidence. Oh. Yeah. And then there's fingerprints on there, I'm sure. I don't think there's fingerprints on that. Well, who knows?

I don't think you need fingerprints anymore, Jeff. you'll never know. Plus some unexpected mystery earrings that were not from the Tiffany's heist made their way out, too. Oh, he just had those in his pocket. I'm sure. All of it's going to come up at trial. If convicted, he could be looking at 30 years for robbery with a 15-year mandatory minimum. Yeah, but I'm sure you'll do a great job, of course.

Worst anniversary gift for his girlfriend ever. Let's go to your next laser story out of TV town. Just when you thought primetime and network. Work TV was dying, NBC announces the show to end all shows. Because the Powers That Be just bought the rights to the online app game Wordle and want to turn it into a game show. Oh, yeah. Brooke, you have to go on it. On TV now?

I'm sorry, I love Wordle, but how would that eat? Like, it takes me three minutes to complete the Whartle. How do you turn that into a TV show? A lot of commercial breaks. And if you don't remember, Wordle is that mobile game. where you have five guesses to guess the five-letter word of the day. Yeah. And it was fun for a minute during the pandemic,

but nerds like Brooks still played all the time. Yeah, the ones that still played are really good at it. Digital Jake still plays, and he is so crazy about it. He and his friends have an Excel spreadsheet where they track how many tries it took them to get the word correct. Didn't you get it once in one try? Only once.

Oh, my gosh. You want to know what cool looks like. Look at Jake and all of his buddies in their Excel spreadsheets. But now they're somehow turning it into a time. televised competition series where contestants will play for actual cash. That would be fun. Took me five tries yesterday. I don't know that I have it in me.

I would love to see you on this. Plus, they've tapped Today's show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie as the host of it. She says she's been a voracious wordal player for many years and she can't wait. Interesting. I think they go with someone younger, but... Does this show make you feel like maybe you're not in the cool group anymore? I just thought that Jake's a junseer. You think the word game would have cool young kids.

I know. Weird. The word puzzles aren't hip to the kids anymore. Applications for contestants are open now if you're interested. Come on, bro. The show will be added to the network schedule next year right after real life shoots and ladders. Oh. That is what I want to watch.

I'll watch that one. Let's go to your final laser story out of India. Oil isn't the only thing being held up by. the Iran war conflict. Apparently, you can add Diet Coke to the list, too. What? We know that because stores in India

are having a very hard time stock in the beloved beverage. And that's why 25-year-old Ishika Gupta decided it'd be funny to throw a Diet Coke-themed party. People love it, love it. It's like a personality at this point. It's a cute game of a party. Yeah, it is.
