Hi, I'm Danny Shapiro.
We were in the car, like a Rolling Stone came on, and he said, there's a line in there
about your mother. And I said, what?
What I would do if I didn't feel like I was being accepted is choose an identity that
other people can't have. I knew something had happened to me in the middle of the night,
but I couldn't hold on to what had happened.
These are just a few of the moving and important stories on my 13th season, a

Hey, it's Thanksgiving week, and we've got you covered with full hour episodes this week.
Yeah, who else is pre-funkenken? You got to eat a turkey every day, so you're still to stand.
Oh, start now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's really funny. Or get back potatoes every day.
See, I start with a Cornish game hen and then slowly work my way up.
Then a chicken? Yes, until I'm eating a full turkey all on my own.
Pretty soon it'll be ostrich. Yeah, yeah, for sure.
For sure. Well, we're so glad to have you here, and we love to start with your comments because you are our number one most thankful thing this week.
Yeah. Speaking of Thanksgiving, Anna said, I feel like Jeff is the type of person that has those separation plates at Thanksgiving, so his food doesn't touch. Like a child.
I thought you were talking charger plates. You mean the little, like, actual children.
I love this as a kid. I could see that for Jeff. Yeah, me too. He's not really a mix of food up type of guy. No, no, not at all.
But he's not having a plastic kids plate. It's like a gold plate.
Nice one.
And I bet he doesn't even
like pour gravy.
I bet he has mash
and then dips a little bit
on the gravy.
Interesting.
Doesn't he seem like a gravy dipper?
So annoying.
Just kidding.
We love Jeffrey.
All right.
You're going to get a lot of them.
Here's your full hour right now.
You ever done something so stupid?
It's actually genius.
No.
It's broken Jeffrey in the morning.
Isn't that the whole basis of this show?
Pretty much.
Okay.
I asked because one very questionable decision
just gave us our new hero of the week.
Oh, I love us a hero.
His name is Maurice Lawson from Spotsylvania, Virginia.
And the other day, he decided to play the state's lottery pick five game.
Oh.
Very simple, too.
You just pick out five single-digit numbers.
Okay.
And there's two drawings per day.
You match the numbers you win.
Okay.
It's not like the main lottery.
Maurice purchased four lottery tickets.
Yeah.
And Jose, you're a lottery guy.
Yeah.
Usually, when you play the lottery,
the strategy is to pick out a few different combinations
of numbers, right?
Yes, yes.
Well, no one picks the same numbers.
Maurice doesn't think like we do.
He went with the bold strategy of using the same exact numbers on all four lotto tickets.
That defeats the purpose, bro.
He went 4344.
Wait, four times.
Those shows those?
Those were his numbers, logically terrible idea.
That's very dumb.
And trust me, the show is very familiar with terrible bad ideas.
You know that there's at least five people that.
to like, I still don't get it.
Sounds good to me.
It's like going all in as soon as you walk up to the craps table.
But wouldn't you know it, those turned out to be the exact winning numbers for the day.
4344.
Does that mean he wins four times, Jeff?
Here's where it gets interesting.
Because on two of Marisa's tickets, he wagered exact order.
So both of those win the top payout of $50,000.
Oh, wait, each.
He doesn't have to split it?
Each one was $50,000.
On the third ticket, he chose any order, that won $10,000, and on the last ticket, he played the 50-50 option, which added another $30K.
So in total, thanks to his very dumb choice, he won $140,000 all in one drawing.
That's actually, so we're the idiots.
We're stupid.
If he would have just bought the one ticket, it only won $50,000.
That's right, Maurice.
Wow.
We are so sorry for ever doubting your genius.
You are our hero of the week.
Oh, my gosh.
Good work, Marise.
Now, back to your regularly scheduled stupidity with the shock collar question of the day.
Back over to Digital Jake to bring our IQs even lower.
Let's do it, Jake.
For the last few days, we've been trying to answer the age-old question,
does too much self-tanning spray literally suck the intelligence out of a human body?
It's not tanning spray
Roll on tan
It's natural
We're tackling that question
Head on by playing
Three Seconds with Alexis
It's a game that tests the limits
of human knowledge
Or lack thereof
In a heart-bounding race against the clock
That makes the fast and furious
franchise look like a casual
Stroll in the Park
Alexis only has three
seconds to squeeze an answer out of a few remaining brain cells that survived her college
years.
Oh, dang.
Will you bet on her?
Or will you not?
It's three seconds with Alexis.
Oh, right.
Okay.
We're going to start with Brooke.
Okay.
Brooke, your category for Alexis is famous ponies.
Ponies?
Ponies.
Okay.
Will Alexis get it right or wrong?
I'm so torn because if it's like racing horses, I would say no, but if it was my little
ponies, then I would say yes.
I think when you say ponies, you're thinking of the cartoon character.
So I'm going to say she knows it.
All right, Brooks betting on Alexis to get this right.
Alexis, when I stop reading the question and you hear the timer, you can start answering.
Okay.
All right.
In 1982, the toy, my little pony, was created by Hasbro and sold the kids around the world.
I'm going to tell you three of the pony's original names, and you have to pick the one that's made up.
Makes sense.
I'm going to give you three.
you pick the wrong one.
Is it
Snuzzle,
butterscotch
or minty bottom?
What?
Minty bottom is fake.
Right?
That is
correct, Alexis.
Yes, Alex.
There was a minty
and there was a blossom
but there was no minty bottom.
Oh, wow.
You got to go onto
those weird dating sites
to find minty bottom.
Take your word for it, Jeffrey.
And we'll also take the questions
over to you, Jeff.
Okay. Your category for Alexis is 90s movies.
Oh my God. Okay. You guys do a whole thing where Alexis watches old 90s movies and does reviews on them.
Where, Jeff? On our podcast?
Yeah. It's the only place you can hear it. You got to go subscribe to our podcast, my friends.
Gen Zeevers, classic movies.
Yeah. I haven't listened to any of the podcast.
Oh, thank you.
Every time I walk in the studio, she seems thoroughly confused and, like, turned off by every single 90s.
movies she watches. Not true. She enjoyed
the Princess Bride. Oh, because of Princess.
I said it was okay. Yeah.
I'm going to say, you're not
a fan of 90s movie. She's not
going to get this right. All right. Jeff's betting
against Alexis. Again, Alexis, as soon
as you hear the timer, you can start guessing.
All right. The movie, Forest
Gump, came out in
1994 and was critically acclaimed
among critics and viewers alike.
It won a lot of awards.
Brooke actually made you watch it this past year, so you
should be familiar. Name
one other character in it
other than Forrest and his
love interest Jenny
Oh no
Who else is there?
Lieutenant James
Sorry
I thought Bubba comes the restaurant
Oh no it's the guy
Could have named a handful of
U.S. presidents
Any historical
Elvis Presley for goodness sake
I was going to say Jenny
I had just anybody listed here
And his name.
The news reporter that interviews him.
Yeah, I didn't really like that movie.
Now you didn't like it.
Good work, Alexis.
You did me proud.
Yeah, Jeffrey bet against you and you got it wrong.
So Jeff and Brooke are both safe right now.
Wow.
Okay.
It was one you just watched.
Let's move on finally to Jose.
All right.
Jose, your category for Alexis is children's books.
Oh.
I think she likes children's books and still reads them.
all the time.
Oh, really?
I'm going to say she's going to get this right.
Jose's betting on Alexis.
All right, Alexis, your question is, in the very famous kids' book, Charlie and the Chocolate
Factory, who was the owner of the chocolate factory?
Oh, it's Willy Wonka.
Yay!
That's correct.
We all got it creepy.
Oh my gosh, good job, Alexis.
Everybody's safe.
She's smart.
I'm our new hero of the week.
Yes!
I don't go that far.
You ever done something so stupid?
It's actually genius?
I won't go that far, Alexis.
But that was another rousing addition of three seconds with Alexis.
And go listen to Gen Zvers' classic movie on Spotify, search, Brooke and Jeffrey.
Now that we all got our predictions right, I think that means digital Jake is going to have to take the shock.
Wait, did I invent a game where Alexis is impossible for hurting the shock?
I did not think this through.
Digital Jake will be getting shocked
while singing, I want it that way
by Baxter Boys.
You are
my fire
The one
Desire
You can take that on tour, I would
pay for that. That was
your shock collar question of the day. We got your
phone tab coming up in just a few minutes.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
There are certain
days where you never
forget where you were when
the earth-shattering news dropped.
It's Burke and Jeffrey in the
morning. Good. That's true.
Today is one of those days.
What news are you giving to us?
Hold your loved ones tight.
Because Campbell's Soup just released
its annual poll ranking America's
favorite Thanksgiving side dishes.
And for the first
time in 60 plus years,
show me green bean casserole.
Mashed potatoes was
not voted number one.
Don't say it's a soup
It's mashed potatoes and butter and gravy
The best thing in the world
Campbell's is more than soup
No, it fell to number two this year
Oh my gosh
Behind stuffing
Oh okay
Yeah I'm sorry
I'm the only one in the room
I'll take stuffing over potatoes
Do you like wet or dry
Oh wet
I like wet stuff you're a potato family
From Idaho
That's true you're in Idaho
I couldn't eat potatoes until I was about 14
I would gag on them
It was like a texture thing
You need to cut them
Yeah, you need to cut them up and chew them.
Stop trying to swallow them whole.
I didn't even like French fries as a child until my mom showed me to dip it in mayonnaise.
And then I was like, oh, God.
It's a delicious.
This is what I'm going to remember about this day.
It's been a very dark day in the food world, and it gets worse because the rest of the top five are number three, sweet potatoes.
Oh, so good.
Number four, green bean casserole.
And number five, mac and cheese.
The whole cow is a green vegetable ranked ahead of macaroni and cheese.
Is this even America anymore?
It's not, Jeff.
Next year, Brooke's gluten-free macha kale muffins are going to be in the top five.
You are going to love those.
They don't even taste like kale forward.
But the poll found over half of Americans say they like Thanksgiving sides more than the entree portion of the meal.
Yeah, yeah.
I love turkey.
I know.
I know.
My family doesn't even do turkey.
Oh, it's so good.
Mostly just sides.
A lot of cornbread.
Just the clumps.
Oh, God.
Hey, that's so funny, Alexis.
It's like a KFC bread bowl.
And not shocking.
It's going to be a dark, dark Thanksgiving this year.
Now we all know why.
Laser Stories is coming up right after this.
It's the radio segment that's encouraging shoppers to buy the hot new tech toy this year.
Really?
The gravy fits.
smartwatch.
It counts your steps, tracks your heart rate, and most importantly, dispenses warm gravy
out the side every time you hit 500 calories.
Oh, wow.
Screw the potatoes, drip it straight into your mouth with laser stories.
The segment where we read, weird news stories around the globe, just like everyone else does,
except we've got a laser.
Those other sauce bosses just don't.
His first laser story is out of the place that's number one in our hearts and number one
on the police scanners, Florida.
A 41-year-old man named Anthony Day was recently spotted,
marching down the middle of a suburban street, smiling and waving.
Oh, yeah, he was also completely nude.
Oh, wow.
He's all good.
He's doing the slow streak.
You know, when you don't run, you just really show it off.
Yeah, that's the weird turkey trot for sure.
On top of that, it wasn't warm out.
The temperature was only 36 degrees, and Anthony wasn't even wearing socks.
Oh, wow.
I mean, that's his excuse, right?
That it was cold out.
Oh, I see, yeah.
He wanted to make sure that was part of this news story.
Right.
So everybody in case came across the photos.
Anyway, a driver saw him and they called police.
Uh-oh.
And cops asked Anthony what was going on, and he said something about it being a TikTok prank.
Oh.
But he didn't even have a phone on him.
Where would you keep it, Jeff?
Yeah.
There's a drone above the clouds filming.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He also didn't want to answer.
answer any more questions to protect his privacy and initially gave the officers a fake name
and a fake address to protect his privacy yes and he was charged with indecent exposure disorderly
conduct and resisting an officer without violence so he was booked in jail still naked
oh my gosh I mean you're just kind of serving him up right oh wow maybe more impressively
he's still sticking with his story telling guards that he's still doing the TikTok challenge
and they should smile more because they're on video.
Guess where the camera is?
I keep waiting for you to say something about drugs,
but I haven't heard that yet.
No, this is just normal Florida behavior.
Yeah, typical.
Sorry.
This next laser story is out of California.
Three adult brothers got together recently
to clean out their parents' house.
Their mom had passed away some time ago,
and it was time to get things organized
and donate stuff to the goodwill.
One of the brothers remember that their mom had said
she had some rare comics somewhere.
Apparently that she had bought when she was nine years old
in the Depression era of San Francisco.
That's cool.
So the men looked all over the place
and finally found a dozen tucked away
in an old box inside the attic.
Okay.
What's in there?
How much are they worth?
One of the comics was titled
Superman number one from 1939.
No, it's not the detective comics version.
Turned out to be the very first superhero comic
ever produced.
Wow.
Oh, what way, this is priceless.
Go, Mom, go.
Wow.
It looked to be in near pristine condition.
Oh, my God.
I thought she mentioned it.
You know that if she hadn't,
they would have just tossed a box without looking at it.
Yeah.
Guys took it to an auction house to have it appraised.
And this past weekend, it just sold for $9.1 million.
Oh, dang, cheap in my book.
Cheap in my book.
It looks like they can afford to get somebody else to do the rest of the clean out.
Yeah.
That's a record for a comic book, and it's not.
Not even close.
The previous one was action comics number one from 1938.
Oh, that's what I thought was.
That one sold for a measly $6 million just last year.
You might as well use it as scraps at that one.
Yeah, a toilet paper.
Let's go to your next laser story out of the Hogi Help Desk.
Mmm, delicious.
No secret businesses are kind of struggling right now.
But Panera Bread has a plan to turn it all around.
And that plan is cutting their tomatoes.
Is that a not before?
An issue? That's right. They weren't before, but promised by management, next year, every salad offered at Panera will have cut cherry tomatoes.
Oh, that little cherry? Those are like little pop-able one-biter.
Well, hey, listen, this is going to turn their whole thing around.
This is groundbreaking. It's all part of how they're going to reverse course on cost-cutting moves that shrank salads and sandwiches.
And that choice backfired big time on them and led to a huge drop in cut.
customers and sales.
So they got into the boardroom and they're like,
all right, how are we going to fix this, guys?
That's right.
The CEO said the new strategy is the complete opposite.
It's called Panera Rise.
And it includes plans to refresh old interiors,
put more money into labor,
open some new locations,
and make sandwiches bigger and cut those darn tomatoes.
Take back the White House!
Yeah!
Investing in your own business could actually help profits.
investing in your employees, making them happier?
I know, it sounds crazy to me.
Yeah, that's not going to work.
That's not the American way.
The CEO said, we've made the guests chase the cherry tomato around the bull.
But next year, that finally ends.
Wow.
Can't wait.
It was the whole reason I didn't get lunch there.
It wasn't.
It's a whole new world.
Let's go to your final laser story out of Turkey headquarters.
Yay.
With the country or the bird?
Either one.
We're going to bird on this one.
No matter how serious.
you are about your diet, the biggest challenge
of the year for most people is
Thanksgiving. Get in my
belly! It's all carbs.
You mean challenges how much can I
eat, right? Sure.
It's a holiday where it's virtually impossible
to count calories. Why would you? Who
does? Take the day off.
Brookings diet means die from it.
Yes. Well, a new report
decided to do it for you.
Oh, Jeff.
We don't want this. Jeff getting heckled.
It looked at how many calories people
are downing at the Thanksgiving table.
Is this the information you're going to bring to your Thanksgiving?
Do you know how much calories you just ate?
No, smashed potatoes?
Buy a candy yams with 75 calories.
You better go hit the treadmill.
My name's Jeff.
This is how I dog.
Okay, you guys, blood sugar is dangerously low right now.
Someone needs to feed you a croissant or something.
Ruin the holiday, Jeff.
Look, there's good news and bad news from this.
First of all, the average Americans' caloric intake during Thanksgiving is just
2,100 calories.
And we're to the hospital because her belly was hurting.
Okay, that's not that's not that bad.
Honestly, one bite of Jerry's pie is like 1,500.
That's got to be before the pie.
Well, in the nutrition, it's a 2,000 calories a day?
Actually, according to dietary guidelines in the U.S.
adults should consume anywhere between 1,6003,000 calories per day.
They made an extra 1,000.
You know, it depends on what size your vehicle is, you know?
It also depends on age and weight.
and your gender and maybe
Brooke's severe addiction to desserts.
You tell me what a whole pecan pie is
and I will kill you.
Now, of course, that's what I'm going to eat.
Those stats are for the whole day.
So the Thanksgiving number is only in range
if it's your only meal all of Thursday.
Okay.
With no snacking, no leftovers,
and I'm going to say something
you're not going to like.
What?
No booze.
Booze.
Oh, you suck.
I know, Brooke.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
And you've got to eat a little breakfast.
because you've got to prime your stomach.
Yeah.
You can't go on empty else it'll shrink.
It won't be big enough to take it all in.
She's right.
So, yeah, all that, that's the bad news part, which just proves my point.
Everybody has to be careful around Thanksgiving.
Like this guy.
He saw the slow cooker out and thought it was a tanning bed crawled right inside.
Oh, God.
I don't know.
Why I'm saying, be careful.
Okay.
And that sound means laser stories has come to an end for the day.
And also our turtle appetizers are ready.
So let's enjoy.
You're the one who said eat more, Brooke.
Turtle toes on us.
That sounds like laser stories has come to an end for the day.
We'll do it again, same time on Wednesday.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Before today, I thought the worst kind of first date was one where your parent randomly shows up uninvited.
Oh, that is a nightmare, though.
Has that happened to you?
I feel like it had.
Thank God.
Yeah, that's a little descriptive, Jeff.
I invite her to those.
But, man, I was wrong because we got a voicemail from a guy who planned a whole date night that actively involves his own dad.
Oh, my gosh.
And then it only gets weirder when he reveals the rest of the player.
Plus, a new conspiracy theory we've never heard before.
And at the dark center of it is a popular kitchen product we all have used.
Before hearing it, it's definitely true.
You're going to hear it when we play all these messages coming up in a brand new loser line right after.
this. For 25 years, I've explored what it means to heal, not just for myself, but alongside
others. I'm Mike Delarocha. This is sacred lessons, a space for reflection, growth, and
collective healing. What do you tell men that are hurting right now? Everything's going to be okay
on the other side, you know, just push through it. And, you know, ironically, the root of the word
spirit is breath. Wow. Which is why one of the most revolution.
action we can do as people just breathe.
Next to the wound is their gifts.
You can't even find your gifts unless you go through the wound.
That's the hard thing.
You think, well, I'm going to get my guess.
I don't want to go through all that.
You've got to go through the wounds you're laughing.
Listening to other people's near-death experiences,
and that's all they say.
In conclusion, love is the answer.
Listen to sacred lessons as part of the My Kutura Podcast Network,
available on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast.
Lines and Times with Spencer Graves on the IHAR radio app
is a podcast designed for hunters and fishermen to enjoy success.
I like the idea of like, hey, put me on a big deer.
You know, hey, there's a big deer out here.
He's doing this.
Be looking for this deer.
But I also love doing it on my own.
I love going out there and saying running my cameras.
I love patterning in the deer.
I like showing up at the right time, checking the wind, knowing what stand I need to be in.
and then whenever it all comes together
and it happens, that's the most satisfying
thing ever. So when you do it on your own,
it's like, I then can hang my hat.
But if I had somebody say,
hey, pull up on these dots
and catch them right here and you're going to win
and then when I go win, it's like,
yeah, it's cool. I won the tournament.
The ultimate goal is done.
But it's like, dude, when you find them
and you make them bike, that's the puzzle.
I love it.
Listen to Lines and Tines with Spencer Graves

Hey, I'm Kelly, and some of you may know me as Laura Winslow.
And I'm Telma, also known as Aunt Rachel.
If those names ring a bell, then you probably are familiar with the show that we were both on back in the 90s called Family Matters.
Kelly and I have done a lot of things and played a lot of roles over the years.
But both of us are just so proud to have been part of Family Matters.
Did you know that we were one of the longest running sitcoms with the Blackcast?
When we were making the show, there were so many moments filled the joy and laughter and cut up that I will never forget.
Oh, girl, you got that right.
The look that you all give me is so black.
All black people know about the look.
On each episode of Welcome to the Family, we'll share personal reflections about making the show.
Yeah, we'll even bring in part of the cast and some other special guests to join in the fun and spill some tea.
Listen to Welcome to the Family with Telma and Kelly on the IHeart Radio ad,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
If one of us wins, we all win.
I'm Ashley Reifeld, and I'm the host of the women's skateboarding podcast.
Good luck with that.
Good luck with that is a skateboarding podcast that is part cultural record, part news brief, mostly group therapy,
and a place to talk about the past, present, and future of women and gender expansive skateboarding.
This week, me and my co-hosts, Nora Vasconcelos, and Alex White, we have Fabiana Delfino on the show,
a professional skateboarder from Florida
whose grit was forged in a family of athletes.
Tune in to hear how she broke into the boys club,
what it takes to be pro,
and why just being grateful you're here
shouldn't be the price of entry.
Maybe the industry thinks that we just started skating five years ago
because that's when they maybe started paying attention.
It's a no-fluff conversation about putting in the year,
stacking clips and receipts
and still having to prove your worth while the industry catches up.
You break down the door, sick now like hold the door for everyone.
We created good luck with that.
because we want to share our experience of existing in an industry that wasn't always built for everyone.
So listen to Good Luck with that on IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Michael Lewis here. My book The Big Short tells the story of the buildup and burst of the U.S. housing market back in 2008.
It follows a few unlikely but lucky people who saw the real estate market for the black hole it would become
and eventually made billions of dollars from that perception.
It was like feeding the monster, said Eisman.
We fed the monster until it blew up.
The monster was exploding.
Yet on the streets of Manhattan,

Hey girl, what's up with you?
Wait a minute, is this the right number?
It's, um, the loser line.
Come on, just call me back.
If you haven't heard the loser line before, it works like this.
Let's say a guy approaches you while you're out at the club
and uses this charming pickup line on you.
Hey, girl.
I saw you over there and I'm wondering, are you a campfire?
Because I think I want some more.
VT. Doves, my name is Barnaby.
Barnaby Wild.
Surprisingly single.
After he drops that line, whatever you do, don't tell him to pitch his
own tent somewhere. Instead, tell him you want to play sleeping bear and you'll be the jar of
honey. And that's when you leave him the number of the loser line. So hopefully he leaves an awkward
voicemail. We can play over the air. Voicemails like this one.
Next message. Hi, Drew. It's Joanne. Look, I just want to, I want to apologize and explain
again. I just wasn't paying attention because I was on my phone and I didn't realize.
that it was the men's restroom that I was walking into.
Okay, I just, I went to the last stall, and I opened it, and that's where we, you know, met, I guess, officially, you know, for the first time.
What's important here, Drew, is I just want you to know that I was only running out screaming creeper because I thought that you were in the women's restroom, which I feel really stupid saying now because clearly I was the, uh,
the creeper in that situation.
So anyway, I just, I want to make it up to you somehow, like, maybe, I don't know, maybe
I can take you out to dinner, and I guess I promise if either of us needs to use the
restroom, we'll go into separate ones, and I'll read the signs better, I guess.
I don't know.
Next message.
That's the funniest image of a girl walking into the men's room, opening a stall and going,
free bird get out of here I think I'd get up and go I'm sorry the sad thing is is if no one witnessed it
they probably actually banned the guy oh yeah he's like no no I swear yeah like yeah right
the guy was in the bathroom stall I swear although walking in on someone while they're in the toilet is
brook's love language oh that is true it's interesting that she's found him attractive in that position
yeah she was kind of coming on to him the best that bar had to offer that night
Next message.
Hey, I hope this isn't going to ruin things, but my dad's going to drive us on our date.
And it's not what you think, like, you know, like DUI or, well, it's, well, actually, all right, it's a DUI, but, yeah, I mean, I don't want to make this weird, but I was thinking, like, if my dad's coming,
I mean, maybe would you want to, like, invite your mom to come?
I don't know if she's, like, single or anything.
But since my dad's coming, if your mom was there, too, you know, maybe that would be cool.
Because my dad's dropping us off at the burger place.
He's probably just going to, like, sit there and wait until we're done.
And then after he'll take us back home.
So, I mean, we could do whatever we want there.
He's pretty relaxed about, like, rules and stuff like that.
He's not going to bug us.
So, I don't know.
If you want to ask your mom, just let me know if she's down for something like that.
Next message.
I just feel like somebody needs to explain like ride shares to him.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
This is a chance.
This is a moment that you spring for that.
Like I understand you can't drive.
You don't have your driver's license.
You made a terrible choice.
But let's take care of it in a different way.
This case may not be worth saving the 20 bucks.
Yeah.
But you know what's an even better double date idea than that?
What?
Is gathering around the iPad with your family.
Wow.
And watching the Brooke and Jeffrey TikTok page.
Why are you double dating with your family?
Yeah, what he was?
I'm just going off of this.
So many strange and sensual segments are available to consume for brothers and sisters and mommies and dads.
Oh, I don't want to go there.
Make sure you watch the video of us in studio reacting to our favorite loser line of the week before you hit the lights and spin that bottle, baby.
You're going to get us taken down.
I don't even want to have family dinner with my own family after you see.
said all that.
I'm just showing you how to get it hot.
Oh, right.
Now, let's keep turning up the heat by going back to these clips.
Oh, yeah.
Next message.
Busted.
Okay, La Danian.
I don't know why you felt the need to lie to me about who you are.
And I'm feeling pretty stupid for believing you.
But do you think I was not going to go home and look you up?
Like, I thought a white guy's name would be La Danian.
And he was a star running back in the NFL.
You do realize that all of that information is available on the internet.
Yeah.
So you totally freaking lied to me.
And I really, really wanted to believe you because I just thought, well, even though he's short and maybe out of shape, maybe he's like super fast or crafty on the field.
I really wanted to believe you.
But absolute bullshit.
And your little friend Levian or whatever the hell his name was, pretty sure he was not the person that you said he was either.
So lose my number.
Don't text me.
Good luck with your freaking fake NFL career, idiot.
So you're telling me there's two white pudgy guys running around telling women they were pro-NFL running backs,
named La Damien and Levion.
And Beal-Denian-Thompson and Levion Bell.
And they're giving out the loser line to these women afterwards.
That's the ultimate troll.
What is the irony?
She's like, look, you may have faked your career, but I have your number.
Yeah.
So I got the last laugh.
She believed it for her.
I mean, that's the scariest part
is that people are buying it to the story.
Yeah.
Next message.
Dude, I swear,
I've never been so shocked in my life.
And like, I'm sorry that I had to walk out of the bar
on you after like 15 minutes,
but it was just like, who lives like that?
Seriously, no one.
And I mean, absolutely no one is using
Brita filters anymore.
I can't even believe you still have one.
I actually care about what goes into my body.
Okay?
So that's why I drive out, like, once a week,
to the well I saw my grandpa's house.
Okay?
It gets pure, natural,
non-government-treated water.
Do you not realize
that Britta's part of the Chinese government?
And they're making them.
Every time you buy a Britta,
congratulations,
you just funded the new Chinese nuclear weapon.
So good job.
I love conspiracy.
So Britta filters are going to...
That's the new thing.
Who knew that Brita was making the nuclear weapons
for all of China's military?
And that nuclear weaponry tastes so crisp
It's very delicious
Can't wait till he gets dysentery
From his grandfather's
Well-in'
Remember listen to the loser line regularly
At this time every week
And make sure you subscribe
To the Brooke and Jeffrey TikTok
No filters here, Jeff, okay?
You can hear all of your favorite loser lines
Right there
Now we're going to do a phone tap
Right after this
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning
Today we call a woman
Who's a rare type
Okay.
She doesn't like going out to restaurants or to big sporting events or concerts.
No, she prefers spending her time at the library.
Oh, okay.
According to her partner, Steve, she checks out books all the time and really loves it.
The only thing she doesn't like is the city recently reduced the hours that they're open.
I mean, seriously, it is not easy to get to the library these days.
Made her very upset.
Now the city's about to make another major change that she's probably not going to
love. You're going to hear it in your phone tap
right now. It's another phone tap.
And weekday mornings on the 20s.
Hello?
Hi, is this Abigail?
Yeah, speaking.
Hi, Abigail. This is Dave from the
I, I think, I give you a call.
It's found your number in our system.
Sure. What is this about?
Well, I know that you're always one of our best, most
loyal patrons, and
we're really appreciative. You always
return books on time every week. We wanted to thank you for that. Oh, of course. Now, we do need to
speak with you about some changes that are going to be coming down the pike over here. What kind of
changes? Well, as you're aware, the city is in a little bit of a budget deficit again. Yeah,
probably for the 28th year in a row. They can't seem to get anything right. Yeah. You know,
that is fair. They don't manage their money very well. But as you know, the library does fall under the
city umbrella. And so, while we will not be upping the late fees, like some people have proposed...
I always return my books on time anyway. Right. No, I understand that. I'm just saying starting
next month, we're going to be instituting a cover charge, similar to a bar or a club. Excuse me,
a what? A cover charge? What does that mean? Have you not been to a bar or a club? I guess you'd go to
the library, so probably not. None of your business, frankly. Can you just elaborate? Well,
So if you have a book that you've reserved, let's say, and you just want to walk inside, that'll be $7 at the door.
$7?
Well, $10 on the weekends because, you know, Saturdays and Sundays are our most popular days.
What kind of half-wood idea is that?
We just, we need to find a way to supplement the deficit because we don't have enough money to stay open.
So you're going to punish people for going to the library?
No, not punish.
We're going to charge people, not hit them.
this is not okay you cannot charge people to go into the library i'm there every week and i wouldn't
pay a quarter to get in you're right you wouldn't you'd have to pay seven dollars or ten dollars on
the weekends hey smart i was just an example i wouldn't pay a cent well good because we wouldn't accept
cents we would only do uh i got it only to accept credit cards okay i'm sorry you just you seem a
little bit upset yes of course i'm upset i go to the library every week i take books out every week
I return them every week.
Okay.
Now you're telling me I need to pay you to come into the library.
Yeah, exactly.
I've heard all that already.
I'm just trying to relay this information to you.
Well, it's unacceptable.
Well, you need to accept it because it's happening.
I will not accept it.
You know what?
I'm going to let you think about it for five seconds and then check back in with you.
It does not matter how long I think about this.
It is unacceptable.
Three, two, one.
Have you accepted it now?
No, I have not accepted it.
Is there a manager I can talk to?
I'm the last employee who works here.
So, you know what I'm going to do for you?
If you come in today, I'll knock a dollar off of your cover charge.
I already told you I will not be paying to come into the library.
It's only going to be $6.
Do you accept it?
Give you five seconds.
Five, 80, four, three, two, one.
Oh my God.
What is wrong with you?
All right.
I'm knocking it back up to $7.
I'm sorry, the deal has gone away.
I don't even know what to say.
Also, I don't really know if this matters at this point.
But in an effort to connect with the younger generations here, we're going to be rebranding and no longer call this the library.
That's the dumbest idea I've ever heard in my life.
We're going to be calling it D's books.
This has to be a joke.
That's books with a Z.
There is no way that you or the city or anyone in this world could come up with an idea of this Athenine.
Well, you're right.
It wasn't me or the city, but your partner, Steve, might be asinine to come up with it.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Your partner, Steve, emailed our show,
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning,
and he said he wanted us to do a prank phone call on you.
Oh, okay.
You get it?
Steve said that you love the library so much
and you really hate change.
So he wanted us to mess with you,
and we thought, okay, well, maybe we can combine both.
Oh, yeah, you had me going.
It had to be the dumbest idea I ever heard charging people a cover with the library.
D's books?
I don't even know what's happening.
right now.
You know,
me either,
honestly.
I'll see you at the library,
all right?
I hope so.
Probably in the self-help section,
okay?
Wake up every morning
with phone taps.
Weekday mornings on the 20s.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
On a first date
at a nice restaurant,
what could go wrong
with the meal?
Not a lot.
You probably got a chef cooking for you.
I mean, like,
you eat it way too fast
and now you're just staring at them
for the next 50 minutes
doing nothing.
Yeah, that's like every dinner date with my husband.
That man shovels the food.
Or maybe your card gets declined and your mommy has to come and pay for you.
Although kind of a good flex that your mom loves you enough to do that.
There are plenty of options and we've actually heard a lot of them on this show.
But one of our listeners says he made a different restaurant faux pa.
And it happened early while he was still holding the menu.
Yikes.
Oh, no.
We're going to find out if it derailed his chances in your second date up.
date right after this. If one of us wins, we all win. I'm Ashley Reifeld, and I'm the host of
the women's skateboarding podcast. Good luck with that. Good luck with that is a skateboarding
podcast that is part cultural record, part news brief, mostly group therapy, and a place to talk
about the past, present, and future of women and gender expansive skateboarding. This week,
me and my co-host, Nora Vasconcellos and Alex White, we have Fabiana Delphino on the show,
a professional skateboarder from Florida whose grit was forged in a family of athletes.
Tune in to hear how she broke into the boys club, what it takes to be pro, and why just being grateful you're here shouldn't be the price of entry.
Maybe the industry thinks that we just started skating five years ago, because that's when they maybe started paying attention.
It's a no-fluff conversation about putting in the years, stacking clips and receipts, and still having to prove your worth while the industry catches up.
You break down the door, sick now, like, hold the door for everyone.
We created good luck with that because we want to share our experience of existing in an industry that wasn't always built for everyone.
So listen to Good Luck with that on IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I like the idea of like, hey, put me on a big deer.
You know, hey, there's a big deer out here.
He's doing this.
Be looking for this deer.
But I also love doing it on my own.
I love going out there and saying running my cameras.
I love patterning in the deer.
I like showing up at the right time, checking the win, knowing what stand I need to be in,
and then whenever it all comes together and it happens, that's the most satisfying thing ever.
So when you do it on your own, it's like, I then can hang my hat.
But if I had somebody say, hey, pull up on these dots and catch them right here,
and you're going to win, and then when I go win, it's like, yeah, that's cool.
I won the tournament.
The ultimate goal is done.
But it's like, dude, when you find them and you make them bite, that's the puzzle.
I love it.

What do you tell men that are hurting right now?
Everything's going to be okay on the other side, you know,
just push through it.
And, you know, ironically, the root of the word spirit is breath.
Wow.
Which is why one of the most revolutionary acts that we can do as people just breathe.
Next to the wound is their gifts.
You can't even find your gifts unless you go through the wound.
That's the hard thing.
You think, well, I'm going to get my guess.
I don't want to go through all that.
You've got to go through the wounds you're laughing.
Listening to other people's near-death experiences, and it's all they say.
In conclusion, love is the answer.

And I'm Telma, also known as Aunt Rachel.
If those names ring a bell, then you probably are familiar with the show
that we were both on back in the 90s called Family Matters.

but both of us are just so proud.
to have been part of Family Matters.
Did you know that we were one of the longest running sitcoms with the black cast?
When we were making the show,
there were so many moments filled the joy and laughter and cut up that I will never forget.
Oh, girl, you got that right.
The look that you all give me is so black.
All black people know about the look.
On each episode of Welcome to the Family,
we'll share personal reflections about making the show.

We were in the car, like a rolling stone came on,
and he said, there's a line in there about your mother.

is choose an identity that other people can't have.

These are just a few of the moving and important stories
I'll be holding space for on my upcoming 13th season of Family Secrets.
Whether you've been on this journey with me from season one

Second Date Update.
The results are in.
It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Because recent studies have shown about 50% of couples now meet online compared to just 22%
Only five years ago.
That's crazy.
That's a huge jump.
It's like the pandemic like super.
It made it really normal really quick.
Yeah.
So now going forward, Brooke, if you want to spice up the relationship with your husband,
you're going to have to make him a dating profile.
Oh.
Okay.
At least you can pick his, you know.
I think I could make him a really good one.
I mean, to be honest.
Well, I think jokes on you.
He already has one.
Wait, what?
Apparently you guys are, you're looking for a third right now, according to him.
And we're not going to go in.
into that because I want to talk
right now. I'm excited for that day.
To Jordy, the listener who wrote into our show
because apparently he met a girl
out in real life, bucking all
of the latest trends. Dude, you're in the
minority now. IRL.
Jordy, good work. Welcome to the show.
Hey, guys. Hey, so where'd you
meet this woman? So I met
Harper at this German bar
actually. You know, I was
playing bocce ball. Do you guys know what that is?
Bocciball. I don't forget. I've heard of it.
We have botchie ball on my rooftop on my
apartment complex. It's like you toss big
these like big colorful balls onto like a
field and then you try to toss other balls towards the
balls. One goes farther and quicker. It's an
Italian game playing at a German bar
but whatever. Yeah. Whatever.
Yeah. Okay. So
you said her name was Harper?
Yeah, yeah. She was actually a
waitress there. Oh.
Oh. I assume that she was going to be like playing
in the stall next year or something like that. Right. No,
no, no, no. No. She was
super cute and I mean, she was
super helpful too because I actually had to
have this, like, long talk with her to tell her to cut off one of my drunk friends.
Oh.
Oh. Yeah.
You cut off your friend?
Lane.
You had to do it, like, nicely.
Like, don't tell them, I told you.
I'm sure that's happened to you and you just don't.
Yeah, totally.
If you have good friends.
If anything, it probably makes you look kind of good to her because you seem like a
responsible guy.
Oh, yeah.
Exactly.
It's like watching Jerry Springer.
It's like you look better than those people.
Oh.
Can I ask real quick?
Was there an indication that she was interested in you?
Because cute waitresses get hit on.
all the time.
And they smile and they do their jobs.
And everyone thinks they're getting hit.
I know.
Brooke tries to get them to be the third in her relationship.
And then it's so annoyed.
Harper, you're so smiling.
I mean, Harper is a hot name.
But again, sorry, that is a conversation for another day.
Oh, man.
Tell us how did you work Harper?
That's not the right way.
How did you get Harper to agree to a date?
There it is.
Well, I just simply asked her on the way out.
I was like, look, are you single?
and she said, who's asking?
And I said, I am.
Good response.
I like that.
I'm already using that.
Yeah.
And I just said, I love to take you out some time.
And she actually gave me her number.
Oh.
Hey.
Dude, if we dial us and it's our loser line.
Oh.
We are on the loser line.
Yeah.
Awesome.
Is that your only meetup or did you guys actually have a date?
No, no.
We had a date.
Oh, okay.
So it is her number.
Because we all thought, oh, she probably just gave you a number to get ready.
Right.
So what did you do?
We went out for drinks, little food.
You know, she looked amazing.
I mean, when she was, like, out of her waiter outfit.
You didn't need to mention the second part.
She knows.
I mean, I did have one embarrassing moment on the date.
We tried to order some Kish Lorraine, and I said, Quicky Loran.
I mean, I didn't take French in high school.
Like, excuse me.
Yeah.
Well, you're also clashing with Sabachi ball and the German, well, French.
Don't want to be elitist by being able to say.
They quiche.
That's a tough word.
What was her reaction?
She totally laughed it off.
It was a little embarrassing, but after that, like, I think he kind of lightened the mood
a little bit.
And from there, like, the date was great.
Especially if you can be self-deprecating about it.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like, it could almost even turn into, like, your inside joke together.
Yeah.
Oh, let me hear over the next thing.
I speak German.
And then you just ruin it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So we actually, like, kissed at the end of the day.
So that was nice.
And she was the one who texted.
me that night saying that she got home safe and let she couldn't wait to see me.
So, like, it seems super clear, right?
Are you sure you didn't read that wrong, too?
There's no way to read that wrong.
No, no, it was in English, I think.
Okay, so you've had a solid first date.
You kissed her at the end of it.
She's the one saying, I can't wait to hang out again.
And how long has it been?
It's been like 10 days or so.
Well, something must have happened in her life.
Like I already have a feeling this is not your fault.
Oh, I can see that like where, I don't know, maybe work got crazy or there's a family emergency or something.
Well, she rekindled something and was just like, oh, you know, who knows?
But what's happened in those 10 days?
That's a long time.
Have you asked her?
Like, what have you done?
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, there was one time where I thought one date was going to work, but then she asked about a different date.
So I don't know.
Okay.
See, a hot bouchy ball player came into her work.
Watch out.
It's a story.
Might be.
Okay.
Well, we can reach out to Harper for you and see if.
she agrees to going out with you one more time.
If not, then you might have a backup option because Brooke and her husband, you know.
Hey.
In the meantime, Jeffrey, he's not online.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah, we only like the online one.
Yeah, you need to be able to keep some distance.
Yeah.
Sorry.
But you know what?
We'll work on Harper first and try and get you your second date update right after this.
Second date update.
We're in the middle of a second date update with our listener, Jordy.
Yeah.
And Jordy likes cute waitresses at German bachy ball bars.
He likes to mispronounce Kish Lorraine just to seem vulnerable and flawed.
How did he say it Kiki somehow?
Yeah, something.
You said, Quicky?
What did you say, Jordy?
I put Quicky Loran.
Quicken Loran, which is cute.
And he really likes to receive texts saying,
I can't wait to see you again, because that's exactly what his date Harper said to him
after they went out.
So why is she not jumping at the chance to hang out again?
Yeah, she's the one that said she wanted to.
Jordie, you think there's another guy who mispronounces French words even worse than you do?
Maybe that's her thing.
Yeah, maybe.
Yeah.
Yeah, he tried to order me a quaburnette, Savangone.
Oh, yeah.
That's hot, yeah.
And a soup, dude, I don't even know how you have mispronounced to Jor.
Yeah, how do you put so much you can't mispronounce it, Brooke.
I mean, look, Harper's a really cute waitress.
She probably has a lot of guys asking her out.
Oh, my God.
I bet she's saying no 50 times a day.
Like every other table.
It's so annoying.
But that's why you're so special is that she said yes to you and you guys had a great date.
And she went out and she said she liked it.
But like, look, guys, if that's it, if that's the thing where she has another guy, like, just convince her that I'm a good guy.
Oh.
Hopefully she thinks that already.
You know what?
In the five minutes we've spent with you, totally will vouch for you.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
You sound like a good guy.
I mean, honestly, not even kidding.
Yeah, a lot of good guys insist how good they are.
Yeah, that's right.
Okay, maybe that is a little red flag.
So we're just going to trust you on that, and we're going to call Harper.
Let's see if she answers, okay?
I don't know you.
I mean, you seem nice from a little bit web-be-spoken.
Okay.
You just stay where you're at, though, buddy.
We don't know you that well.
Yeah, let's get her on the phone.
Here we go.
Hello?
Hey, is this Harper?
Yeah, who's calling?
We're a radio show calling called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Hi, good morning.
Hi, Harper.
That half of the room isn't very excited to talk to you, obviously, but...
I don't think she's excited to talk to us.
This half of the room is.
She's very confused.
She just don't want to come in too hot, Jeff.
What are you calling for?
See?
Yeah, we're working.
Yeah, this is something we do called the second date update, and one of our listeners
named Jordy asked us to reach out to you.
Ooh.
ringing in bells?
I said, ooh.
What do you want me to say?
You remember, Jordy?
Okay.
We're just trying to help him out because, according to Jordy, he says he's been putting in a lot of effort trying to figure out a good time that would work for you to meet up.
Just because he felt like you guys bonded, connected.
Is it just something where the schedules aren't aligning?
No, there was just, like, a lot of effort that's kind of a problem.
What?
Too much effort.
What do you mean?
Yeah, can you elaborate?
I mean, like on the surface when I met him, like I was working and then we went and hung out and like he was a good guy and kind of like what I was looking for.
Yeah, like he's what you were looking for.
I mean.
Yeah, like I thought so.
Okay.
So what changed?
So we hung out and it wasn't until after that I realized something was off.
What?
Like I had every intention to go out again.
Okay.
Okay, what's the problem?
Is this something about him?
Yeah, he gave me three options to hang out all in a row, like Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Like, why is he so available?
What?
Wait, hold on.
Did he want a three-day date, or he was just like, pick a day and we can do that one night?
No, he was like, these are all the days that I'm available.
And I have this belief me and my friends do that there's a guy between the age 24 and 32-ish.
if they have that much time to hang out,
it really means that he's a loser.
Oh, wow.
Wait, are a loser?
Yikes.
Wow.
You're calling him a loser because he gave you multiple options of times
where he wants to hang out because he likes you?
Yeah, because like they're all in a row.
And it's like, okay, he should be grinding away,
planning for his future.
Like, maybe he's not working or like working on a promotion or getting someone.
Maybe he is.
Like, in my mind, you're a waitress, so he's probably just trying to give you options because it's probably hard to align schedules.
Like, he probably figures you work on the weekends.
I mean, that sounds like an excuse he'd use, I guess.
It sounds like he's doing it for you because nowadays, we hear from a lot of women who tell us guys don't put in enough effort.
They want the easy thing.
They don't really care.
But Jordy sounds like the total opposite, like he's willing to do whatever just to see you.
Maybe he'll make plans the other days that you say you can't.
Yeah, but he didn't say that.
He was like, I'm wide open.
And I'm like, well, what else are you doing with your life just pursuing me?
Okay.
What?
Okay, sadly, this makes sense.
But doesn't mean we agree with it.
I don't know that it does make sense to me.
He's not a loser.
Like, you liked him.
You liked everything about him.
You said that he tracked all your boxes, basically.
Yeah, I mean, he did.
He actually had decent hygiene, which...
Oh, that's a plus, a big box.
But he's too available for you.
Maybe that's why his hygiene is so good.
He has got time for it.
He showers daily.
I mean, you don't want to date someone who wants to hang out every single day.
Right.
Sometimes, like, they need to have a life.
Well, sure.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
And especially in the beginning, getting to know who they are,
and it just seems like he's just wide open to do whatever.
And I'm like, but we're trying to build who we are as people.
What would you want his response to be?
When you say, hey, I can't wait to see you again, what should he have written back to you?
He shouldn't have.
He should have just let me hang for a bit.
That was a red flag.
Okay.
Well, it feels kind of like a game.
I don't, I don't want to tell you this because it's not that he's like super available to talk to you at any time.
That's not what this is.
He was so busy.
It's like we had to call him so many times.
Yeah.
Just in the middle of his extremely hectic day, he's taken a little bit of time to jump on the phone right now to talk to.
you. Because Jordy's there.
Hey, Harper.
Oh. So you've been on the phone?
Just a little bit. Yeah.
Just a little bit? It's like barely.
I heard you call me a loser who has too much time on his hands.
Well, yeah, they asked me to be honest and I was honest.
We actually didn't say that. They asked me what was that.
I mean, that's what Jordy wanted. He wanted to know.
He did want honesty.
So you think I'm a loser because I want to go out a second time? Like, that part doesn't make any sense.
No, no, it's just a little red flaggy to be able to hang out three nights in a row.
And, like, my perfect guy would never do that.
He shouldn't have all the time in the world for me, you know?
I'm sorry, my perfect guy shouldn't have all the time in the world for me.
To be totally clear, I didn't want to hang out with you three nights and a row.
I gave you three options.
Okay.
You're just being a little way too chill at this time of your life.
You know, now's the time is to work hard and we're going to chill later.
Yeah, well, no.
Girl, your servant Steins in a German bar.
Like, I mean...
She's grinding.
I'm just saying, like, pot kettle.
Like, Brooke, she probably makes more than I do here.
Yeah.
Well, it's just, like, what are you doing to do the same thing?
Well, you don't even know me, so how about you shut your mouth?
Yeah, Brooke, shut your mouth.
Who are you complaining about people bringing you alcohol?
No, I guess that.
I think being a server is a great job, but she's, like, expecting him to, like, do all these big, great things.
Like, multiple jobs.
What are you doing to plan for you?
your future.
Brooke, stay in your lane and keep not tipping people after they'll give you great service.
Just shut up and talk on the radio, lady.
I just like, I hate when people do that.
This is about Jordy.
Jordy, she's concerned that you're too free and you're too available.
Prove to her that that's not true.
Tell her you're busy.
Show her how much you got going on.
Tell her you don't want to date.
Yeah, I mean, it sounds like that would be more attractive to you.
I mean, I just don't understand why you want to play these games.
Like, we met in real life.
I thought you were a good person.
Okay.
Oh, that's actually a point.
And how busy are you right now?
I mean, I'm kind of busy.
I'm not totally busy.
I mean, I...
Jeff, ask him again.
You got to be busier.
You're super busy, right?
You slammed.
Like, look, I'm looking to get busier.
I'm looking at so nice to...
They go.
Close.
All right.
See, red flaggy much?
Oh, God.
I think he sounds like a nice guy.
That's not what she wants.
She doesn't want that, Brooke.
But you did want it that night.
Look, Harper.
Let's rewind and pretend I didn't call you for two weeks.
Are you turned on now?
It hasn't been two weeks.
It's only been 10 days.
Yeah, we're going to pretend.
We're imagining.
Harper.
I mean, the reality is you sent me a lot of freaking text with, like, a lot of freaking days,
and now you have me on a radio show.
Yeah.
It does look bad.
Gives her the it, huh?
It's pretty bad.
You know what?
The thing is, we made him do it.
Yeah, we got all the time in the world.
He didn't even want to be here.
We didn't have time to.
No.
But he was kind enough to take a little bit of time out to do this with us.
so that I could ask you
if you would like to see Jordy one more time
and we would pay for that date.
I don't even know if he's free, honestly.
Jordy, are you even free?
Not anymore.
I'm all booked up for a while now.
Finally, he got it.
I'm sorry.
She's like, so I'll see you next weekend?
I mean, I'm not really into these games
that he's playing with me
and I'm not going to fall forward.
Oh, wait.
Now you don't like the game.
Look in the mirror, sweetie.
Oh, sweetie.
Oh, God.
That was a first.
Talking like Brooke now.
This is not good.
Okay.
You know what?
No second day.
All right.
We are not tipping them either.
This is going bad.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Got a text in to 78592 that says with that outlook, I hope she's ready to die alone.
Oh my gosh.
I mean, honestly, I think she just doesn't actually want a boyfriend.
Yeah.
You know, like, everybody's saying that she's like looking, she says she's looking for something, but she found it.
Because, like, what?
She just wants to be wanted.
And the outlook that I think they're referring to is the theory that if a guy says he's available to hang out with you multiple nights in a row, that means he's a loser and must have absolutely nothing going on.
You know what I correct that?
Because when girls try to hang out with me and I tell him, I'm sorry, I got two jobs.
I'm streaming video games every single night.
It also deters that.
Don't you have a busy guy cannot deter women.
It also matters what you're busy doing.
I got my D&D club on Friday and Saturday night, so I can't hang out.
But I make tons of money.
Hello?
Hello?
You know what?
Guys, just give up.
It's going to be easier to be just quick.
Because actually, they're going to feel more attracted to you that you've given up on that.
Like, really hard to get.
Can we not define all women based on her?
I mean, just.
Too late.
She speaks for all women and now we know how it works.
Check in and offend yourself.
Hey, I just got canceled on by two guys.
Oh, Alexis.
Who saw that coming?
But you know what?
If you need help with your dating life, go ahead, email the show.
We'll call that.
person who isn't calling you back and go
check out all of our podcasts. We
are the home of the second date update.
Wherever you get yours at Brooke and Jeffrey.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Oh, this is your final reminder.
Take your last
hot selfies of the year now
before your body is ruined
by cramming your face with pounds
upon pounds of delicious
holiday foods.
Because yes, eating season
is coming down the pike. And we're
going to celebrate that by undoing the top button on all of our pants and playing a game
guaranteed to clog your arteries and stop your hearts in the good way. I can't believe we're
not just taking our pants off. Trying to have a little bit of decency still. We're going
to do it in a brand new edition of Riffin' Around. Yes, a special eating season version of the game
that tests your musical knowledge and asks, are you
smarter than a radio DJ?
Yes.
Probably, but now you can actually prove it when we play riffing around coming up right after this.
Lines and Times with Spencer Graves on the IHAR radio app is a podcast designed for hunters and fishermen to enjoy success.
I like the idea of like, hey, put me on a big deer, you know, hey, there's a big deer out here.
He's doing this.
Be looking for this deer.
But I also love doing it on my own.
I love going out there and saying,
Running my cameras, I love patterning in the deer, I like showing up at the right time,
checking the win, knowing what stand I need to be in, and then whenever it all comes together
and it happens, that's the most satisfying thing ever.
So when you do it on your own, it's like, I then can hang my hat.
But if I had somebody say, hey, pull up on these dots and catch them right here,
and you're going to win, and then when I go win, it's like, yeah, that's cool.
I won the tournament.
The ultimate goal is done.
But it's like, dude, when you find them and you make them bite, that's the puzzle.
I love it.
Listen to Lines and Tines with Spencer Graves on the IHartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Hey, I'm Kelly, and some of you may know me as Laura Winslow.
And I'm Telma, also known as Aunt Rachel.
If those names ring a bell, then you probably are familiar with the show that we were both on back in the 90s called Family Matters.
Kelly and I have done a lot of things and played a lot of roles over the years.
But both of us are just so proud to have been part of Family Matters.
Did you know that we were one of the longest running sitcoms with the black cast?
When we were making the show, there were so many moments filled the joy and laughter and cut up that I will never forget.
Oh, girl, you got that right.
The look that you all give me is so black.
All black people know about the look.
On each episode of Welcome to the Family, we'll share personal reflections about
making the show. Yeah, we'll even bring in part of the cast and some other special guests to
join in the fun and spill some tea. Listen to welcome to the family with Telma and Kelly on the
IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. If one of us wins, we all win.
I'm Ashley Reifeld, and I'm the host of the women's skateboarding podcast. Good luck with that.
Good luck with that is a skateboarding podcast that is part cultural record, part news brief, mostly group
therapy and a place to talk about the past, present, and future of women and gender
expansive skateboarding. This week, me and my co-host, Nora Vasconcelos and Alex White, we have
Fabiana Delfino on the show, a professional skateboarder from Florida, whose crit was forged in a family
of athletes. Tune in to hear how she broke into the boys' club, what it takes to be pro, and why
just being grateful you're here shouldn't be the price of entry. Maybe the industry thinks that we
just started skating five years ago, because that's when they maybe started paying attention.
It's a no-fluff conversation about putting in the years, stacking clips and receipts,
and still having to prove your worth while the industry catches up.
You break down the door, sick now, like, hold the door for everyone.
We created good luck with that because we want to share our experience of existing in an industry
that wasn't always built for everyone.
So listen to good luck with that on iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
For 25 years, I've explored what it means to heal, not just for myself, but alongside others.
I'm Mike De La Rocha, this is Sacred Lessons, a space for reflection, growth, and collective healing.
What do you tell men that are hurting right now?
Everything's going to be okay on the other side, you know, just push through it.
And, you know, ironically, the root of the word spirit is breath.
Wow.
Which is why one of the most revolutionary acts that we can do as peoples just breathe.
Next to the wound is zero gifts.
You can't even find your gifts.
you go through the wound. That's the hard thing. You think, well, I'm going to get my guess.
I don't want to go through all that. You've got to go through the wounds you're laughing.
Listening to other people's near-death experiences, and it's all they say. In conclusion, love is the answer.
Listen to Sacred Lessons as part of the Mike Gutura podcast network, available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Hi, I'm Danny Shapiro, host of the hit podcast Family Secrets.
We were in the car, like a Rolling Stone came on, and he said,
said, there's a line in there about your mother.
And I said, what?
What I would do if I didn't feel like I was being accepted
is choose an identity that other people can't have.
I knew something had happened to me in the middle of the night,
but I couldn't hold on to what had happened.
These are just a few of the moving and important stories
I'll be holding space for on my upcoming 13th season of Family Secrets.
Whether you've been on this journey with me from season one
or just joining the Family Secrets family.
We're so happy to have you with us.
I'll dive deep into the incredible power of secrets,
the ones that shape our identities,
test our relationships,
and ultimately reveal who we truly are.
Listen to Family Secrets on the IHeart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Do you smell that?
Either Brooks got another bun in the Dutch oven,
or it's time for a fresh-baked edition
of riffing around
Riffin' around.
Where I play the instrumental of a famous song
and my co-host
apparently take off their clothes.
And then they show their complete lack of musical knowledge
by trying to guess the tune.
And because Thanksgiving is right around the corner,
all of today's songs have foods in the title.
Oh, my God.
They're not all necessarily Thanksgiving food.
but they are foods, I can assure you.
Okay.
Okay.
And Jose obviously has the advantage
as the resident foodie of the show,
but Brooke, this could be right up your alley.
Well, I'm a resident eater.
I don't know that I consider myself a foodie.
But we're going to start with the girl
who uses a cooked turkey as her reference
for the ideal spray tan.
Alexis, name this food-themed song.
Need the title?
The correct title.
Oh, why am I blankie out of?
No.
What is it called?
I know.
I'm kidding.
Oh, my God.
Talk to me, baby.
I need a guess.
Can't go through all the lyrics here.
I just need to think of the lyrics.
Three, two, one.
All right, we're going to Jose if he can steal.
Oh, oh, man.
Come on, give it to me.
Need a guess.
I don't have one.
Brooke.
Cake by the ocean.
Cake by the ocean by the NCE.
I knew it.
I was like, I couldn't think of the.
the lyric all right bro i'm diabetic so i'm not allowed to know that's okay we're on to you your
reputation as a mother is on the line if you fail to correctly identify this food themed song
it's a classic high in the sky oh she got one of the words in the title
Pie in the sky
What is it, Alexis?
Steal it.
It's the beginning of the song.
You can't play just the beginning.
Pie in your mouth.
All right, we're subtracting a point from Brooke for arguing about Jose, can you steal it?
I'm going to go with Tators.
Wrong.
Max Taters.
The correct answer was American Pie by Don McLean.
You played like the beginning.
By Miss American.
You can't subtract a point because you made a poor musical choice.
down down to negative two brook is trying to set an all new record low on the show for some reason
you and i may win just because yeah i just got to go to the next person all those nights watching food
videos on the toilet will have paid off if you can guess like tacos or chinese dumpling
let's even get this song changing up the vibe a little bit with this
i know this isn't a family thanksgiving is it i think i know it
Oh, oh, peaches!
I knew Jose was going to get peaches by Justin Bieber.
That's one of Jose's favorites.
I mean, my peaches got in Georgia.
I love this song.
No, we're on to the second round here.
The score is Alexis Zero.
Jose's in the lead with one.
Brooke taken up the rear with negative two.
I was up one, Jeffrey.
Oh, my God.
Attitude does not fly on riff and a wrap.
Back to Alexis.
Alexis, please name this food theme song.
song.
Watermel and Sugar.
Yeah.
A record, baby.
Give me Harry Styles all day.
I wait.
I haven't written down already.
I knew it was coming.
I can name that song in two notes.
Oh, really?
I thought it only has to be the hook of the song.
Brooke, what are the rules?
Chance to redeem yourself.
I will double your points here if you can correctly guess this food theme song.
It's about to go playing again.
Very popular song
All over the world
I love food, food, food
That's not it, surprisingly
I'm gonna go with
Turkey legs
No, Alexis, steal it from her
I don't know the meat
The word
No, it's not that, it sounds like
Bump, boom, boom
Got it!
Really?
I got it.
A fruit!
Wrong, Jose, take it.
What is butter?
Butter!
Butter by BTS, of course.
Jose jumps into soul control of the lead with two correct.
And again, I'm going to give you double points because this one's tough if you can correctly guess this song.
Oh my God.
Dance too much booty in the pants.
Dance too much booty in the pants.
Is that the real song?
What's it called?
What's it called?
What's it called?
Peat butter jelly, peanut butter jelly in a baseball bat.
It's peanut butter jelly time by the butter boy.
Wow.
Wow, Jose.
That's so fun.
I haven't heard that in so long.
Jose.
That was impressive.
You were four correct.
Alexis says one, Brooke, still negative two there.
Let's go.
Third and final round.
And this one, we're going to mix it up a little bit.
Not looking for the song with food, but the artist who's associated with food.
I mean, the artist that's associated with food.
Their name has food in it?
Yes.
I'll say it for the third time.
Artist is associated with food.
But wait a minute.
What is this hidden?
Here we go, Alexis.
Name the artist that sings this famous song.
Oh.
Oh, Black-Eat-Pee's.
Black-Eat-Pee.
Wow, that was really fast.
My guesses are easy.
One more time.
I just sighed.
That's all I did.
I just sighed.
Brooke, insert, disparaging comment here.
Name this song.
We know it's coming.
No, no name the song.
Name the artist who sings this song.
The cranberries.
It was too easy for a work.
She gets one correct.
I thought you gave me triple points on that one.
And back down to negative two.
You had it in the grass, then you questioned it, and you lost it.
Technically, you double negative two.
It's like negative four.
I mean, negative two is actually generous.
Jose, to take it home, name the.
the artist who sings this song.
Oh, uh.
Young gravy!
Jose does it.
10 points for Jose.
And the winner of Ripping Around Thanksgiving edition is Jose Bolognaut.
Yeah.
All right.
I want to ride around in the gravy boat.

Island this morning.

hallway, and she said, oh, the big
island of Virginia.
Did I hear of names or geography?

She's won and O against you all time.
Then I got to go.
I don't know.
Brooke doesn't have anything to say.
Lillia, you know how the game works.
He got 30 seconds to answer as many questions as possible.
If you don't know when you could say pass,
but you do have to beat Brooke outright to win.
Are you ready?
Yes, I am.
Good luck.

I didn't even know this was a thing.
It's awesome. So Brooke is coming back in the studio, and I see in my phone screener here, Lillia, that for Thanksgiving, you're going down to Mexico to visit family?
Oh, my God.

A manometer or a monometer?
Monometer probably is right.
I like, I'm a ma meter.
Manometer.
Monometer is used to measure pressure in a confined space like in a boiler.

Don't laugh at that.
