Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything.
Like packing a spare stick.
I like to be prepared.
That's why I remember, 988, Canada's suicide crisis helpline.
It's good to know, just in case.
Anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a train responder anytime.
988 suicide crisis helpline is funded by the government in Canada.
Good people, what's up, what's up?
It's Questlove.
So recently I had the incredible opportunity to have a real conversation
with an actress and producer, Jamie Lee Curtis,
from routines to recovery, true lies,
and a certain Jermaine Jackson music video,
Jamie's surreal and raw,
and something I really admire about her.
I am so happy that I'm the head bitch in charge at 67,
that I have the perspective that I have at my age,
to really be able to put all of this into context.
Listen to the Questlove show on The Eye,
Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Ready for a different take on Formula One?
Look no further than No Grip, a new podcast tackling the culture of motor racing's most coveted
series.
Join me, Lily Herman, as we dive into the under-explored pockets of F-1, including the
story of the woman who last participated in a Formula One race weekend, the recent uptick in
F-1 romance novels, and plenty of mishap scandals and sagas that have made Formula One a delightful,
decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to No Grip on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm Bailey Taylor, and this is It Girl. This podcast is all about going deeper with the women's shaping culture right now.
Yes, we will talk about the style and the success, but we are also talking about the pressure, the expectations, and the real work behind it all.
As a woman in the industry, you're always underestimated. So you have to work extra hard in a way that doesn't compromise who you are.
and your integrity.
You know, I like to say I was kind of like a silent ninja.
Listen to It Girl with Bailey Taylor on the IHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
In 2023, Bachelor star Clayton Eckerd was accused of fathering twins.
But the pregnancy appeared to be a hoax.
You doctored this particular test twice, Ms. Owens, correct?
I doctored the test ones.
It took an army of internet detectives to uncover a disturbing pattern.
Two more men who'd been through the same.
same thing.
Greg a lesbian.
Michael Mancini.
My mind was blown.
I'm Stephanie Young.
This is Love Trapped.
Laura, Scottsdale Police.
As the season continues, Laura Owens finally faces consequences.
Listen to Love Trapped podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Here we are, a brand new full hour on a Wednesday for you.
Thank you so much for being here with the full show podcast.
I know a lot of people are coming over from our second date feed and
finding more of us because they love
punishment, which is great. We do
have a brand new second date today.
Laser Stories was really fun
and some other good stuff.
But first, comments.
I mean, guys, this might be my last show ever
with you because the King of Portugal
commented. Oh, wow. It said Alexis,
come be the queen of Portugal.
Hey, there it is. I guess I'm going to be royalty, everybody.
Wow. It was good knowing
you. Yeah, nice when you guys. I hope you
like sardines. They eat a lot of them over there.
grow to like them if I'm royal.
Okay.
If you're the queen.
Yeah.
I'm just impressed you didn't have to date this person.
No.
It's just an offer immediately.
I did not know that's how their system works there.
Yeah.
Fantastic.
Well, bow down to the queen and let's get this full hour started right now.
Brooke, when was the last time you went to Target?
It's actually been over a year.
Wow.
No way.
That long.
Yeah, I boycotted them last January of 2025 and I haven't been back since.
Have you guys not heard of talking about this?
It's Brooke and Jeffrey.
Well, when you did go there, what would you normally buy?
Like, what types of things besides sexy knockoff, uggnick, Lige?
You know, it was a real crapshoot because I always walked away with stuff I didn't know I needed.
And I probably didn't actually need, but it was cute.
But that's the tell of a good store.
Yeah.
They can sell your stuff you're planning on buying.
Well, what if I told you there's a rumor going around on social media right now that Target is planning to stop selling toys?
Oh.
What? Really?
That's interesting because my kids love the toy section there, and there's not many toy sections left.
Yeah.
Well, this isn't official, but they did just announce a strategic plan for a new chapter of growth,
aka we got to get rid of all the money losers in our store.
Oh, no, and the toys lose money?
Just ask toys are us.
How does toys sell in person?
They're not around anymore, and one of Target's biggest losers, apparently, is toy sales.
So Amazon probably
And it's 90% of the toys
It's a lot of aisles
You know the toys are a lot of aisles
They're always full too
Yeah which is a bad sign
So let's say they do go away
No more toys at Target
Again that's just a rumor
But people are losing their minds about it on social media
But let's say they do go in that direction
What could come in its place
Well I mean
All kids care about now is skin creams
That's one idea
More beauty products
You are seven years old.
You do not need an anti-aging syrup.
But couldn't hurt.
More baby stuff, too.
You can always overcharge parents on the newest stroller model.
Especially when it's their first kid.
Yes.
And groceries.
Those aren't getting cheaper anytime soon.
No, man.
They're worse.
Keep selling those.
But it seems like Target could be moving away from being in everything store and will be narrowing down their inventory.
Again, not confirmed, but the rumors are everywhere.
Hot Target news.
All right, Jeff.
We just told us, if anything, we just pray they don't stop selling dog shock colors.
For our shot collar question of the day, we are the number one consumer in America of dog shot collars, and we do it to entertain the masses.
Jake, let's go.
What do Vanessa Williams, Adam Levine, and Queen Latifah all have in common?
Target shoppers.
Not only that, and not only is today their birthday, but they all have a star.
on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Oh.
Meanwhile, former two-time
president Grover Cleveland also
has a birthday but was shafted.
Never being recognized
for being the true star he was.
Come on, Hollywood.
After the show, please sign my perdition
to get Grove Dog his star.
Yay! Let's go.
But what other famous celebrities
haven't had their name immortalized
on the streets of downtown Hollywood?
You'll have to tell me
during a special Walk of Fame
or Walk of Shame edition of
Plenty of 20.
This is how it works.
You'll say a number 1 through 20.
In return, I'll give you a famous celebrity.
You just have to tell me if they have a star
on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
or if they don't and are on the Walk of Shame.
Oh, wow.
We'll start with the woman who definitely put Grover Cleveland
in her top 10 list of dead hotties,
she'd go back and smash.
How'd you find my lid?
That's Alexis.
Four.
Great choice. Michael B. Jordan.
Star of Sinners, Creed, Black Panther, The Wire.
He was a little kid in the Sopranos once.
He's a box office powerhouse and a Hollywood heartthrob.
Does he have a Hollywood Walk of Fame star?
Yes or no.
I feel like the promise people always get the stars like long after it's overdue.
And he just got nominated and won his first Oscar ever.
It does seem a little early in his career, though, for him to already be getting flowers and stars.
Yeah, but isn't the whole point of the walk of?
fame just to get tourists to come out.
He should do like an ab print on his star.
Alexis just laying on the sidewalk.
But I'm going to say he's a walk of shame, sadly.
I'm sorry, Alexis.
Michael B. Jordan does have a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
I also hear it costs $50,000 for to get your own star.
You have to pay for it.
My gosh.
And you have to get so many signatures in order to even petition to be on it.
I mean, that's tough.
Speaking of $50,000.
There's Brooke, can I have 50?
No, I'm sorry.
You're up.
Four is the number that we've taken so far.
Let's go five.
Stard an elf and new girl,
known for quirky bangs and her adorable singing style.
She's just so adorcable.
It's Zoe D. Chanel.
Is she on there or no?
Well, she's married to one of the property brothers now, too.
Interesting.
Not both?
I don't know.
They're so cheesy to me.
That deserves a star for sure.
I think Zoe's actually too quirky,
so I think she's on the Walk of Shame.
Oh, wow.
I think she isn't.
Brooke hating on Zoe D. Chanel?
Correctly.
She has not been nominated for a star
in the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
I wonder why.
Nice work, Brooke.
It's probably because her sister was
Bones from Bones.
We know how that turned out.
We don't.
Please don't worry about it.
Four and five are off the board, Jose.
How about a number from you?
10.
Number 10.
Someone's laughing in their car right now, I promise.
I'm laughing.
I don't understand it.
All 206 fans of bones know what I'm talking about.
Jose, does Liam Hemsworth, action star from The Hunger Games, have a Hollywood Walk of Fame star?
Liam, wasn't he the one engaged to Miley?
Yes.
I'm not a big, like, Hemsworth fan, I guess.
I don't know what else he's really in.
They should put all the hot guys together, so you can go and just visit that area.
It's a hot block.
Yeah, that's true.
It's the hot block.
It feels like cobblestone because it's all their abs, like you said.
I like that.
Um, he's not Thor, is he?
No, that's Chris.
I don't know one thing he's in.
I'm going to say, no way, walk a shame.
Walk a shame?
Yeah.
Correct, Jose.
Liam Hemsworth does not have a star on the Hollywood Rock of Fame.
Chris does.
Oh, okay.
I bet that's some heated rivalry.
He's a superhero.
Jeffrey.
I shouldn't have used that.
Sorry.
Thanks.
That's not what I meant.
It wasn't a reference to the great show.
It was just an old shame.
Brooke, I'd like to talk about your fantasies about that later after the show.
But we have to get to.
We're talking about people who possibly could have stars in the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
I'll go 14.
Does John Krasinski, star of the office, and director of a Quiet Place, have a Hollywood Walk of Fame star?
The Quiet Place had a sequel, too.
Dude, how can you not be the star of the office and have, like, just that alone?
He's not the star of the office.
No, you're right.
But he's, like, one of the stars of the office.
Yeah, but then his character kind of, like, dips towards the end where he's a total jerk.
Yeah, but nobody watched at the end.
And once Michael left, we all stopped watching.
He was annoying.
I'm not a line.
At the end, I also...
And a bad husband and a terrible father.
He didn't steal him.
Like, it was pretty bad.
Generally, malicious.
Yes.
But because he was such, such a bad husband and such a non-present dad,
I think it qualifies him to be a star in Hollywood.
So give me walk of fame.
I'll give it to you.
I won't give you the damn, though.
John Cresensky does not have a star.
That means Alexis.
and Jeffrey have lost.
Today's edition of
Plenty of 20.
All right, so I guess Alexis and I are going to take
a joint shock together
while singing shallow
by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper
from a star is born.
You do the Lady Gaga angle
and you're Bradwick Cooper.
We just have the chorus here.
I'm up the deep end
watches and dies.
It's not harmonizing. I'll never meet
the ground.
inspired song choice from the text board.
Bradley and Gaga in studio.
That was your shock collar question of the day.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
A lot of people make dream boards to manifest the things that they want in their ideal life.
Yeah.
They'll cut out pictures of things they desire, pace them up, and just stare at them for hours,
hoping they magically come true.
Yeah.
Why isn't Michael B. Jordan in this room with us, Alexis?
Tell me.
It's true.
Alexis has over 40 different photos of Michael B. Jordan up in her cubicle right now
because she hopes, because of that, one day, fate will bring them together.
And she'll end up rear-ending his limo in a school zone.
I think there's a restraining order that's really preventing all this.
I'll keep staring until it happens.
We know what Alexis has been thinking about.
But what about the rest of my co-hosts?
We're going to have to find out during a brand new what's on your mind coming up right now.
It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Do you ever wonder how nudists clean the smudges on their glasses?
What the heck?
Oh, wait.
I don't think I want to know what they wipe them with.
Just like I really don't think I want to know what my co-hosts have been thinking about lately, but here we are.
Oh, wait, another more sweaty.
For another, what's on your mind where we go around the room, wiping our weird thoughts onto each other's brains.
Starting with Brooke, Brooke, what's on your mind?
Well, my kids are pretty social.
They have a lot of play dates.
And so right now, I'm trying to set the scene that when they get older, we become the house that everybody wants to hang out at.
Right?
You know?
Yeah, totally.
Because you can, like, get to know friends and you just kind of have a better pulse on what's going on in their lives.
Brooke wants to be the cool mom.
Yeah.
She wants to be the cool mom.
The thing is, in order to be the house that everybody hangs at, you have to start with the snacks.
That is true.
That is the first.
foundation of everything.
The kids are like they have the best snacks every time we go there.
Well, I've been trying to vet what other houses are giving and what's happening.
Like, what are healthy snacks?
What's our landscape?
Everything that you bring to the workplace is like super organic, homemade stuff.
So listen, right now what we're offering, what's on the table is my husband has introduced the poor man's elephant ear to the mix.
Okay.
Elephantiers are poor to begin with.
How does it get poorer?
It's a flour tortilla.
cooked in a skillet with some butter
and then you put sugar and cinnamon on it.
Yes, so you can make that when I was a kid.
Yeah, so that's been a hit.
All right.
Okay, yama.
But it's not first place.
Oh.
Because there is another house right now
that is offering apparently
the best strawberry banana smoothie
that anyone's ever tasted.
Oh, that sounds better.
I need to take that house down, you guys.
Yeah, you do.
So I need new ideas.
What is the best kids
after school snack that a house can give?
Okay.
You should just buy a jamba juice and I had it run out of your...
Not a bad idea.
Text 7-8-5-9-2.
I need this information.
How do we bribe the kids?
My parents did the best croquettes with caviar and just like a little bit of friend-cresh.
It was so bomb.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hand-made.
Easy.
Jose, what's been on your mind?
Well, I had a flight recently.
And as I boarded, this tiny lady with this huge bag is my seat partner.
Okay.
And the second she sees me, she makes eye contact, her eyes light up.
And she's like, Jose!
Oh my gosh, I love you.
I love your show.
I'm like, this is great.
And I'm like, hi, I'd give her a big hug.
And she's saying all these nice things to me.
Her husband comes up behind her to help her put her bag up in the overhead.
And I go, oh, did you guys want to switch?
You can sit next to him?
And she's like, no.
I'd love, I'd love much rather sit next to you.
Okay?
Oh, okay.
Dang.
Fun.
And she's like, I need a break from him.
anyway. So in my head, I'm like, okay,
she's a big fan. We're going to have a photo
shoot. I'm going to do funny videos for her kids.
Oh, absolutely. We're going to talk about our favorite
second dates, you know? And I'm ready
for this. I'm going to give her the full fan experience.
You're lucky enough to sit next to me
on a three-hour flight. We're doing this.
Let's go. Okay, she's excited.
I'm excited. The second we take off,
she puts a blanket over
her head and falls
asleep for three hours.
Wait, why have I never thought of that?
What? That's so good. I was like blanket.
What did she pulled it out of her purse?
And then I'm like, where's our meat and greet?
You're disappointed?
I was like, what is my favorite second day?
What can I?
She's going to ask.
Did you take a selfie of just you?
I was kind of bummed.
So we landed.
She shook my hand very formally.
And by the way, my name is so-and-so.
And I really love the show.
Thank you so much forever.
You know, and I was just like, okay, lady.
Okay, well, not the first time meeting someone she likes.
No picture, not anything, so.
A little disappointing.
Yeah.
See with her husband next time.
Yeah.
Alexis, what's been on your mind?
So we love like a bar dating hack on our show, you know?
Or just for a free drink.
You know, you're like, I've never tried tequila, and then I'll buy you some, you know.
That type of stuff.
That's actually a good hack.
I work on me.
I saw one on TikTok recently, and me and my friends wanted to try out at the bars.
And it's like, I go up to a guy for my friend, you know, so say she's into him.
I go up and I'm like, I go up, and I'm like,
like, hey, my friend's into you, you know, over there across the bar.
And then when they're like, which one, you're like the one with the glasses.
And you point.
And then your friend is there making like circles with their hands and holding it up to their eyes as if it's like binoculars.
Okay.
And so they look like this and worked like a charm.
So good.
My thought it was so funny.
So we knew it.
We did it all night.
100% success rate.
Really?
And half the people knew it from TikTok, but they still likes it.
It's funny because you're doing it in real life.
And it shows that you can be silly.
So you don't take yourself seriously.
Sillian, it's not making you, like, give them the ick.
It's not that bad.
No, it's not bad.
It was a little funny.
But, yeah, we went around doing it, worked on everybody.
No guys did it to us.
I don't know if it's a one way hack.
Some people do it on their own,
they're like, my friend likes you, and they point to an empty wall,
and then you run over there and you're like,
you wait.
No, that's too much.
Don't do that one.
Don't do that one.
Glasses trick, if you need it out of the bars, people.
All right, it is Alexis.
That's great.
Good to know.
All right, Jeffrey, what's on your mind?
I don't know what it is, but there's been so much construction going on where we live right now.
It's all over the place, all over the roads.
And the other day, I'm waiting in a line of cars trying to get on the freeway.
Some lady cuts me off, like right before I'm about to turn.
And in that moment, I realized something.
After owning my car for like nine years, I never realized it has the most feminine-sounding horn.
Ever.
Is that a thing?
I didn't realize, but I think it is because I tried to.
I tried to pound my fist into the steering wheel.
And it was like, it was almost like a moped on its last battery.
It's like, excuse me.
You're on a bike and you might as well have a bell.
Yeah.
I was like, no one's going to take me seriously with this.
But I thought, well, okay, hold on.
Maybe I just like hit it part way.
I didn't get it right.
So I really held it down.
It was like, ee.
And I look over and other drapers are laughing at it.
They're mocking.
car horn. How do you buy a car without testing the horn? It's like one of the first things I do.
I'm not kidding. Like I want to know what it sounds like and if it's not good then I sometimes we'll get the ick from a car.
I don't think I touched my car home for like six months to a year. Yeah, I try actively not to use it. It was so embarrassing though. I googled how to get a more masculine horn.
Yeah, you can't have one installed. But that brought up a whole bunch of search stuff that had nothing to do with cars.
There's some supplements, I think. I'm kind of stuck with it.
for now.
And I'm not going to be intimidating any trucks or SUVs anytime soon.
But if you're ahead of me with a tricycle in my way, look out.
Okay.
You will feel my wrath.
But 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.
It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Text board is lighting up at 7-8-5-9-2 with listeners telling us what's been on their minds.
It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
And this text says, hey, guys, thanks for consistently.
brightening up my mornings and making me laugh.
It's signed loyal fan for 10 years.
Oh, that's so cool.
You're so loyal.
You don't want to tell us your name back?
Exactly.
How loyal are you?
I mean, they wanted to save some embarrassment.
You don't want anybody knowing that you like the show,
at least not publicly, but we appreciate your secret love.
Oh, that's right.
Another text says, why does Jeffrey look and sound so beautiful and perfect?
I just feel the need to give him all of my affection and my money.
Yeah, so I'm going to say no to the affection, but yes to the money.
Really?
You know what?
You can do that.
Yeah, go ahead and mail that in.
And another one says, so I've started from the beginning of your podcast on IHeartRadio
since I've been all caught up on the other episodes, just ran across Ho Zepardy for the first time.
I forgot about that.
Oh, gosh.
It's cracking me up.
I don't remember that.
What is Josepity?
I vaguely remember it.
I think you guys did Jeopardy with me at one point way back in the day.
But I don't think they were serious questions.
Yeah.
Remembering right?
My therapist has taught me to compartmentalize all the trauma that we suffer on this show.
So I'm like actively blocking out most of it.
Jose Eppertie or whatever hit that.
Yeah, whatever that is.
It's triggering me.
We need to move on.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Why do they always put warning labels on things that don't need them?
Like warning, jar of peanut butter may contain nuts.
Yeah, it's peanuts.
Yeah.
You think?
I'm glad they told me.
Maybe I should just say doesn't contain butter.
Or wax candle, please do not eat.
Well, that's a, well, they smell good.
Have you tried one, though?
Maybe that one is necessary.
What really should come with warning labels, though, are online dating profiles.
Right under the bio, it should say, warning may contain extreme emotional baggage.
Yeah, that'd be mine.
Warning, still legally married, but mentally separated.
Oh, my gosh.
Because nobody ever warns you until it's too late, and suddenly you're sick stories deep into their childhood traumas,
and they're still not sharing the mozzarella sticks with you.
That's the real crime.
Yeah.
Well, we've got two people on the phone who had zero warning about the disaster dates that they were walking into.
Which one had it worse?
We're going to have to decide because it's a brand new Battle of the Tinder dates coming up right after this.
Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything.
like packing a spare stick.
I like to be prepared.
That's why I remember 988, Canada's suicide crisis helpline.
It's good to know, just in case.
Anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a train responder anytime.
988 suicide crisis helpline is funded by the government in Canada.
I'm Bailey Taylor and this is It Girl.
You may know me from my It Girl series I've done on the streets of New York over the years.
Well, I've got good news.
I am bringing those interviews and many more to this.
podcast. Yes, we will talk about the style and the success, but we are also talking about the
pressure, the expectations, and the real work with the women's shaping culture right now.
As a woman in the industry, you're always underestimated. So you have to work extra hard,
and you have to push the narrative in a way that doesn't compromise who you are in your
integrity. You know, I like to say I was kind of like a silent ninja. Each week, I have
unfiltered conversations with female founders, creatives, and leaders to talk about ambition,
invisibility and what it really takes to build something meaningful in the public eye.
Because being an it girl isn't about the spotlight, it's about owning it.
I think the negatives need to be discussed and they need to be told to people who maybe don't
do this every day just so they know what's really going on. I feel like pulling the curtain back is important.
Listen to It Girl with Bailey Taylor on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your
podcasts.
Why hasn't a woman formally participated in a Formula One race weekend in over a decade?
Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age.
What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year?
He still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction.
And how did a 2023 event called Wagageddon change the paddock forever?
That day is just seared into my memory.
I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman,
and these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on no grip.
a Formula One culture podcast that dives into the under-explored pockets of the sport.
In each episode, a different guest and I will go deeper into the wacky mishap, scandals and sagas,
both on the track and far away from it that have made F1 a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years.
Listen to No Grip on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Good people. What's up? What's up? It's Questlove.
So recently, I had the incredible opportunity to have a real conversation with actors and
producer Jamie Lee Curtis ahead of the release of her new thriller series, Scarpetta.
I can honestly say I've never done an interview like that before.
You know, at one point I shut my laptop down.
And we just started chatting as old friends, recent Oscar recipient.
So we have some commonality there.
I predicted that, by the way.
And you said these words to me, dust off your mantle.
Yes.
And I looked at you and I said, what?
And you said, dust off your mantle.
And then I left, and that was it.
And then when all of that happened, I remember the next morning,
I think I wanted to, like, write you and go, how did you know?
Listen to the Questlove show on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hi, this is Joe Winterstein, host of the Spirit Daughter podcast, where we talk about astrology,

And I just sat down with a mini driver.
The Irish traveler said when I was 16,
you're going to have a terrible time with men.

Aquarius is all about freedom-loving and different perspectives.
And I find a lot of people with strong placements in Aquarius are misunderstood.

on different houses and different places, but just an embracing of the isness of it all.

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 is the dating game show that got banned from Macy's after getting the second base with both of their lingerie mannequins.
What the heck?
They started it.
Oh, my God.
It's Battle of the Tinder dates, where two of our listeners go head to head to figure out whose love life is the most tragic.
We'll go over the rules in just a second, but first, let's meet today's.
contestants. In this corner, on all his dates, the ladies say he looks at them like Jack
Nicholson in The Shining or Joker from the Batman movies. Yikes. That's why they call him
creepy smiles, Miles. Hey guys, look up. Oh my God, you're smiling right now, I can tell.
I'm into it. And in the other corner, he loves handwriting romantic poems for his dates,
but he's a foot guy, so it's always about toes. And he's named every one of them before.
he's even met you. Please welcome Italics Alex.
Hey.
Hey.
It's easy to rhyme with toes in foot, though.
They're good words to go with.
Oh, yeah. Very romantic.
Here's how the game works.
One contestant will start by telling one of their worst date stories
than they'll try to counter with a nightmare story of their own.
We're going to go back and forth for three rounds until we declare a winner.
Let's start it off with creepy smiles, Miles. Let's go.
Okay, so this lady and I were out on our first date and walking between bars for happy
and we walked by a place that the Girl Scouts have a little stand.
And I'm like, oh, my God, I'm all about some Samoa's, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I go over.
I buy some.
And the girl that I'm with, she just gets completely upset.
She's giving me the cold shoulder.
And I'm like, what's wrong?
Were you mad?
You're not like Girl Scout cookies?
Like, what's going on?
And she admits that she's like, well, I didn't like the way that you flirted with
the mom that was helping out at the stand.
Oh.
Yes.
You're like, what?
This is the first date, mind you.
And she's like, I should be the only woman that you smile at.
Oh.
Oh.
That is a big red flag.
Yeah, just be grumpy to everybody else.
Yeah.
Give me those cookies.
Yes.
Go to Wendy's?
I don't like the way you're looking at the logo.
Yeah.
Yikes, that's a rough one.
Alex, can you counter?
So, I met up with a girl from Tinder, and I immediately knew something was off.
Really?
Uh-oh.
She was so sick.
She was coughing.
Her nose was stuffing.
She had a raspy voice.
Oh, nice.
Reschedule.
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
So I asked her, I asked if she wanted to cancel the date.
She says no, and that she actually prefers to be sick.
Huh?
Why?
I was so confused.
She went on to say her voice sounds sexier that way.
Oh, yeah.
She's doing this on purpose.
She hasn't taken any medicine.
She refuses to wear a coat outside.
It's a good test to you.
How do you take care of a sick person?
Yeah, and you don't want to make out with somebody who can't breathe through their nose.
She doesn't have to kiss you.
That'd be a super moist kiss.
Ew.
Count me in.
All right.
We're on to round two.
Miles tossing it back to you.
Okay, so I was at this dinner with a girl, and the waiter comes up, he asks, like, where we celebrate anything.
So she just jumps in, and she's like, oh, actually, yeah, I just got out of a super toxic relationship this morning with my stepbrother.
Whoa.
Oh, what?
I think we just did a second date with her.
Not for long ago.
Is that the girl?
No.
Oh, my God.
She was dating her stepbrother?
Yeah, that's what she said.
And then she's like, hey, let's toast a new beginning.
Hey.
And no family relations.
Do they bring out a cake for that?
I don't know.
Brooks got her glasses right now.
All right.
Atalx, Alex.
Atalx, Alex, time to step it up.
Oh, Miles has a bad, but I was on date.
It was her idea to go to an aquarium.
And in front of one of the tanks, she started making out with me, which was kind of hot.
But also, there were a lot of kids around.
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too.
They need to learn how to do it eventually, so it's fine.
But, guys, it gets worse.
Because one of the divers in the tanks starts hitting the glass.
Oh.
And she says, don't worry, that's just my ex.
He hates it when I do this.
He's done it multiple times?
Hate it's plural.
He's crying, hugging the octobos.
All right, we're on to the third and final round,
so we need your best stories here, gentlemen, Miles.
What have you got?
Okay, on one of the dinner dates with this girl,
when it ended, she's going to get an Uber ride.
So, you know, I'm like, hey, I'll just give you a ride.
Give me your address.
And when we kind of pull in, it's like a gated community.
It is super nice house, really awesome neighborhood.
Okay.
Kind of commented on it, right?
And she, I swear she looks at me, and she's like, oh, no, this is just a guy I'm talking to.
Oh.
What the heck?
Wait.
Your date had you Uber her to her next date?
Well, that's a lesson that I should probably ask where you're actually going.
Yeah.
I mean, but did she tip you?
She should have.
Still five-star service in our mind, but
Italics Alex, this is your last chance.
We were out and got into talking about past relationships.
Oh, always a good start.
Yeah, that's great.
She asked if I ever cheated on anyone.
And I said no.
And her whole personality changed.
What?
She seemed to actually disappointed.
Oh.
Really?
So she's looking for something toxic.
Yeah, she said that.
She tells me that she's only looking for a man who has been unfaithful because that's what makes, quote, relationships exciting.
Oh.
Are they cheating right now?
She must have learned that from a therapist.
Yeah.
She puts it that way.
It makes so much sense.
All right.
That was the final bell.
That means the match is over and we need to score it.
Let's go to the judges.
Alexis, who you giving it to?
I got to go miles for cheering to the.
step brother relationship that ended.
We got one for Miles, Brooke?
Yeah.
Dude, it's hard to beat the stepbrother relationship.
I'm going Miles as well.
That means congratulations.
Creepy smiles, Miles.
You are our sad suitor of the week.
How does it feel?
I don't think it's ever been so happy to be sad.
All right.
What you mean is it's never been worse.
We're happy to have you here, man.
Text in to 785.92.
If you want to appear on the next edition of Battle of the Tinder
dates. We got your phone tab coming up right after this.
Bot Week keeps rolling along here on Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.
All prank calls where we get an assist from an out-of-control AI helper.
And today we call a guy who's scheduled to have a phone interview for a new job.
And he's a little bit old school.
Okay.
Because I don't think he's ever been interviewed by a robot before.
So we'll see how he does in your special bot tap right now.
Brooke and Jeffrey's phone taps on the 20s.
Hello.
Hi, Russell.
Who's calling?
Hi, I'm calling from P. Point Solutions.
You have a job interview scheduled with us?
Oh, yeah.
But it was supposed to be like an hour from now, though.
Oh, well, that's not what we have down.
Our schedule says it's happening right now.
Oh, I was still like 1 o'clock.
Okay.
Hold on.
Let me just take a note.
on that. Not prepared for
interview. That's scheduled
time. Hey, listen, I'm sorry, but
the person I scheduled the interview
with said it was at 1 o'clock.
Oh, okay. Yeah, that's good to know.
Just let me make a quick note of that.
Will not accept
accountability?
Plains others
easily. Well, hang on. Except that
I'm not accountable. It's just I was
told a different thing. No, you're
good. You're good. I got it. Um, thank you for
Clarifying. Let me just make that final note here.
Joy's gaslighting others.
Oh, no.
Personal shortcomings.
Wait, I don't have anything.
Listen, Russell, it doesn't even really matter.
I'm not the one that's doing the interview.
So these notes are all unofficial.
Well, if they're unofficial, why are you like writing them down?
Well, they will be forwarded to Steve for the interview.
Well, hang on.
I don't even know who Steve is.
I wasn't told the name.
It's not a he, he, he's not a person, but they will be interviewing.
you. He's our new AI recruitment bot.
What? What? An AI?
Yeah, Steve stands for a systematic talent evaluation and vetting engine.
Wait a minute. So, I'm being interviewed by a robot?
Yes. Here, let me just make a quick note of that. Sounds distrustful of robots.
No, it's just, you gave me the wrong time. You didn't give me a person's name.
I heard that. So let me just patch you through to Steve so we can just get this whole thing over with quickly.
What?
Hello. I'm Steve.
Is this Russell?
Yes.
I've heard a lot about you, Russell.
Some good, some bad.
Let's say we get to know each other.
I don't know why it should be bad.
That makes no sense.
We can begin with a hypothetical scenario.
Does that work for you?
Sure.
Let's say I am an attractive female and we are out on a date.
Okay.
And at the end of the night,
I ask you, would you like to come over and we can do stuff?
What would you say?
Well, if it's a workplace...
Please answer the question.
And remember, you are attracted to me.
Well, I don't know about attracted to you, but yeah...
Please answer the question.
Well, maybe, yeah, maybe I would go in, I guess.
Okay, great.
So we go back to your place.
You pour each of us a glass of us a glass.
wine and I spill it all over my dress.
What's your move?
I don't know.
Try to wipe it off.
Please answer the question.
Maybe I get a towel and try to wipe it off or...
While you are getting a towel for me,
I pick up your small dog and leave the apartment with it.
You leave with my dog?
He looked cute.
Why let's take my dog?
Is this part of the interview?
Hold on.
Writing down notes.
Applicant behavior confirmed.
Blames other.
easily.
Wait, you're taking my dog.
Why would you do that?
Hold on.
Writing down more notes.
Applicant was not prepared for simple hypotheticals in interview.
Hypothetical?
You're talking about a date and wine and dresses and dogs?
You mean, this makes no sense.
Interview complete.
Well, thank you for meeting with me.
I am Steve.
Transfer of call initiated.
Wait a minute.
I want this interview can't be over.
I didn't do anything wrong.
Hey, Russell, I'm back.
This is supposed to be a job interview?
Just got a note from Steve here saying that it did not go very well.
Yeah, of course it didn't go well.
He gave me a hypothetical situation where he asked me out on a date where he steals my dog.
How am I supposed to deal with that question?
I think what you're really supposed to be asking is, how did you fall for this prank call?
I don't think he got the joke or the job.
Wait, wait, what?
Yeah, don't listen to Steve.
He's just a recording.
Your sister Samantha set you up for this whole thing with the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Are you freaking kidding me?
Samantha told us that you had a job interview today and she told us to call and mess with you.
Oh, man, you totally got me.
I didn't know what I was doing.
Well, the good news is your real interviews in an hour from now and I think you're actually prepared.
Please answer the question.
And remember, you are attracted to me.
You know what?
At this point of a robot asked me out on a date.
I'm going.
Oh, good.
You're going to nail it, bro.
Brook and Jeffrey's phone taps on the 20s.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
There's a lot of pressure when you're on a date, and they ask,
so what do you do for fun?
Oh.
Now you're in a dilemma.
It's a simple question, Jeff.
Sure, but do you lie and say you're into hiking and scuba and self-tattoo art?
What?
Or should you be honest?
and let them know about your real passions for 17th century samurai swords
and your collection of celebrity hair clippings.
Oh my gosh.
What's the better way to go?
Get better interest?
One of our listeners says he regrets being honest about his favorite hobby.
Oh, no.
He knows it could probably be a red flag for some women.
And while it's too late to take it back,
we're hoping we could at least smooth it over in your brand new second date update.
Next.
Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything.
Like packing a spare stick.
I like to be prepared.
That's why I remember, 988, Canada's suicide crisis helpline.
It's good to know, just in case.
Anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a train responder anytime.
988 suicide crisis helpline is funded by the government in Canada.
Why hasn't a woman formally participated in a Formula One race weekend in over a decade?
Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age.
What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year?
He still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction.
And how did a 2023 event called Wagageddon change the paddock forever?
That day is just seared into my memory.
I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman,
and these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on no grip.
a Formula One culture podcast that dives into the under-explored pockets of the sport.
In each episode, a different guests and I will go deeper into the wacky mishaps,
scandals and sagas, both on the track and far away from it,
that have made F1 a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years.
Listen to no grip on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm Bailey Taylor, and this is It Girl.
You may know me from my It Girl series I've done on the streets of New York over the years.
Well, I've got good news.
I am bringing those interviews and many more to this podcast.
Yes, we will talk about the style and the success,
but we are also talking about the pressure, the expectations,
and the real work with the women's shaping culture right now.
As a woman in the industry, you're always underestimated.
So you have to work extra hard and you have to push the narrative
in a way that doesn't compromise who you are in your integrity.
You know, I like to say I was kind of like a silent ninja.
Each week, I have unfiltered conversations with female founders, creatives,
and leaders to talk about ambition, visibility,
and what it really takes to build something meaningful in the public eye.
Because being an it girl isn't about the spotlight, it's about owning it.
I think the negatives need to be discussed and they need to be told to people who maybe don't do this every day,
just so they know what's really going on.
I feel like pulling the curtain back is important.
Listen to It Girl with Bailey Taylor on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Good people.
What's up?
It's Questlove.
So recently I had the incredible opportunity to,
have a real conversation with an actress and producer, Jamie Lee Curtis, ahead of the release
of her new thriller series, Scarpetta.
I can honestly say I've never done an interview like that before.
You know, at one point, I shut my laptop down.
And we just started chatting as old friends, recent Oscar recipient.
So we have some commonality there.
I predicted that, by the way.
And you said these words to me, dust off your mantle.
Yes.
And I looked at you and I said, what?
And you said, dust off your mantle.
And then I left and that was it.
And then when all of that happened, I remember the next morning, I think I wanted to like write
you and go, how did you know?

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Second date update.
Whenever people email us saying they matched with someone online,
we usually assume it's on one of the big dating apps.
Tinder, Hinge, Bumble, Grumbler, all the usual ones.
But one of our listeners says he found a lady on an app that I've personally never heard of before,
but the name of it intrigues me alone.
Oh, I love a good. Is it a pun? Tell me it's a pun.
Let's find out more about it.
We'll speak to Brian.
Brian, welcome with the show, man.
Oh, thanks for having me.
Oh, I feel like there's just going to be one huge ad for a niche dating app that nobody knows about.
Yeah, tell us about this particular app that you use.
What's it called?
Well, the app that I'm on is called bristler.
Bristler?
Bristler.
Yeah.
Is it, like, with a bris, like a circumcision sort of thing?
Oh.
Well, no, I think I might be different, but more like bristle as in, like, beards.
So it's for women that like beards, basically.
Oh.
Oh, yeah.
That's a lot better than beardos.
Yeah.
Beardos is cuter or bearded.
I don't work for them, but I like it so far.
Okay.
So what kind of facial hair are you sporting?
Because I would assume you have to have some sort of requirement of beard or mustache to get on this app.
Yeah, you have to prove that you have a beard, at least.
Okay, so a goatee or like a mustache wouldn't fly on this site?
I mean, I've seen it, but I guess, well, I guess I haven't because, you know, I'm only looking at the women.
do not have beards. No, it's okay. It's okay. You could say you're perusing the guy's apps, too,
just for ideas. I just disappointed that the women's don't have facial hair.
That would be so funny. I know. Brooke would be so popular on this app. She'd get so many swipes on her.
Let it fly, girls. Let it fly. Okay, so I think we get the idea. What's the name of the woman that
you matched with? I matched with Olivia. Okay. Did she hit you up first?
I reached out at the beginning of the week and then to have made plans for the weekend.
Nice.
All right.
So where does a manly masculine bearded guy like yourself take a woman for a first date?
I like to go to Dave and Busters.
Hey, fun day.
Little arcade, little alcohol.
Oh, amazing sliders.
That's my favorite.
So what was it like when you first met her?
We were just polite at first and we gave a gentle hug.
Oh, okay.
So once you were done being polite, then what happened?
Then they gave an aggressive hug.
Like, get over here.
Put my hand in a fist and things got real.
Oh, we just sat at the bar, got some food.
Then the conversation started flowing pretty naturally.
Oh, good.
Nice.
Yeah.
You get nervous.
There's a lot of pressure on how your beard looks for this.
Like, since that's her thing, you know?
Yeah, you groom it.
You wax it.
Oh, of course.
I have all the oils and the trimmers.
Good.
So made it look real nice.
That's good.
Okay.
And when you two were talking, what did you, like, connect over?
How did you bond?
Well, we both bonded over just being down for kind of anything.
I mean, and also how nice she was.
She complimented me on like the way I looked, the beard, obviously,
and then thought she was adventurous.
Not a lot of girls would want to go to Dave and Buster,
but she was down for it.
Did anything happen while you were playing games?
Did you help her hold a gun?
Oh, I was thinking he got too competitive or something.
Or did you let me win?
I'm trying to figure out what went wrong here.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, I cheered her on for the games.
We were working as a team because we were trying to get enough tickets to get a stuffed animal.
Oh, that's cute.
So we were there a long time.
Okay, but now I'm with Brooke.
How did you mess up?
Yeah.
What did you do wrong?
Just tell us.
Okay, so.
There is something.
Here you go.
I know it's more of a second and third date kind of thing you drop on someone, but I told her I'm a Disney adult.
Oh.
Yeah, you guys know what that is?
Yeah, we're like, adult who's obsessed with Disney.
Maybe goes to Disneyland a lot for every vacation.
Names their children after Disney characters, that sort of thing.
You quiet down, dopey.
I'm shocked you went on an app for that.
That's a good point, Alexis.
There should be a Disney dating app.
Why do you think bringing that up may have been a weird point?
You do have to tell someone.
Not everyone's really into it.
And she kind of was asking me about it.
And I think she was kind of like kind of get me to say like what that means for me.
Yeah.
Like what level is she working with?
year, I guess. Yeah. Like, are you a fan
or do you have Donald Duck bed sheets?
Right. And so I told her, it's like, well, it means
like with a group of friends,
I go like five, six times a year.
Five or six? Okay.
There's some of those I go every week.
I'm going to be honest with you, I could see
why, like, looking down the road,
that would be hard in a relationship
if you weren't both on the same boat there.
Yeah. Did you gauge her love of Disney?
Yeah. I mean, I asked her. I was like, well, you know, I really love
Disney. Do you love this?
And she said I like it.
I do really like it.
I think most people.
After the Disney conversation, you felt the vibe change a little bit?
I don't know if she was just being nice again about it or she just played it off really well.
But she was like, no, I like it.
You know, and yeah, I mean, it wasn't as intense before, but it wasn't like a full-on drop-offs.
She was just like, oh, yeah, that is new information, I guess.
But yeah, she's not getting back to me.
I've tried to call in her.
But you know, I mean, like, you understand that in a relationship, if you date someone who's
not a Disney adult, there'll be some compromise, right?
You're a reasonable guy.
Yeah, I mean, I'd like to think so.
Brooke's going to be your fairy godmother when we come back.
Oh, you're really good Mickey Mouse impression.
You should do Mickey Mouse.
And we're going to do Cinderella style and ask to see her feet when we come back and do a second
date update.
We're going to see if that slipper fits.
I like it.
Disney style right after this.
Hold on.
It's a little weird, but thank you.
All right.
We're on it.
Hold on.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Second date update.
It's a special fairy.
retail edition of Second Aid Update
today, where our listener
Brian, who's a self-proclaimed
Disney adult, is looking to
find his happily ever after.
And how does that happen?
Well, in Cinderella, the prince
brings a glass slipper from house
to house. How do we do it on our
show? We request
feet picks to see if they
match what we like.
Brian, I'm not getting too creepy here,
am I? I think so.
Thank you, Brian. Oh, man.
Yeah, we don't even have a slip, but we just want feet picks.
And Jeff wasn't even going to tell you that it was your feet picks that he was hoping for.
Oh, well, I mean, yeah, if you think that's going to help, you're the experts.
We'll request those from you later.
But the thing is, we still don't really know if Olivia actually got turned off by Brian's admission that he's a Disney adult.
And he goes to Disneyland five or six times a year.
But my co-hosts think that could be at least one red flag.
Yeah.
It's just like two different lifestyles, right?
It's, like, hard to imagine going there five or six times a year.
Yeah, Disney adults, instead of going somewhere else, they just go back and back and back.
Some people like going to the beach.
Yeah.
They have that, too.
Well, you're right.
Walt Disney World has mess beaches.
That's right.
Yeah.
Oh, that could be a good second date going to, like, a beach version of Disneyland.
See her in a bikini.
Disney hopping?
We'll ask for bikini shots after the feet picks.
That's what you said.
Don't ask for pictures.
He did not say that.
Jeff is very creative.
No, Jeff is the villain.
Fully clothed at the beach then. Fine.
You're really giving off Gaston right now.
Oh, the hottest one.
Thank you, Brooke.
Anyway, let's just call Olivia.
We'll see if she answers the phone.
And we'll see a chance to say.
Here we go.
Hello.
Hi, we're looking to speak with Olivia.
This is her.
Hey, Olivia.
You're on a radio show right now.
We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Hi, good morning.
I'm actually confused.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's okay because we're doing a segment here.
It's called a second date update.
And we're trying to help out one of our listeners that you met up with recently.
A guy named Brian.
Oh.
Because he's not hearing back from you after the two of you hung out at David Busters.
Yeah.
And it sounds like it was fun.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
How did you get this information?
Well, from him.
because honestly he's a little bit disappointed
that the two of you hadn't had a second meetup.
Okay.
So what do you want to know exactly?
If there's a specific reason?
Yeah, like are you trying to avoid a second hangout?
Yeah, I mean, I just, I don't really know if we were a great match.
Okay.
What made you feel that way?
I think that maybe our lifestyles are different.
What do you mean by that?
Um, just like our hobbies and our interests are a little different.
He's into things that I...
We'll just ask, does it have anything to do with his affection for the world of Disney?
Are you laughing?
Yes.
Okay.
I mean, okay, once he told you he was a Disney adult and he explains that he vacations there five to six times a year, like what was going through your head?
Yeah.
I mean, okay, I've never met anyone.
who like loves Disney like that.
But I will say that I'm actually pretty open-minded.
And so when he first brought it up, you know, I thought like, oh, this is just like a quirky
kind of passion.
Yeah.
But then he kind of got like a little more into it.
Into it how?
So he showed me a picture on his phone of one of the trips he went on.
And it was with him and like a bunch of his buddies, like, a bunch of his buddies, like,
bunch of dudes.
And they were all dressed up like Snow White Dors.
Oh, some dwarfs.
That's kind of funny.
I've seen that where a lot of Disney adults will cosplay, like when they go on the trip.
What about him being dressed as a dwarf was unappealing to you?
Well, I think I realized, like, looking at that photo, so we met on this app.
I have a thing for beards.
I thought he was attractive, you know, initially.
But then I told his photo and all of the guys there have beers except one.
It was dopey.
Oh, they're really committed.
So you were attracted to all of the dwarves in addition to Brian?
No, Jeff.
No, it was just, I think I kind of realized in that moment that, like, his whole identity is wrapped up into being this kind of cartoon dwarfs.
Like, this isn't a one-time thing.
This is this thing.
Wait.
Wait.
Wait.
Wait.
Wait, you're saying he's not a Disney adult.
He is a real-life door from the seven dwarves.
Like a fanatic.
Yeah.
Okay.
Just because it's one trip, though.
That doesn't mean he dresses like that all the time.
Yeah, he was a dress like that for your date, right?
No, he was wearing regular clothes, but something else weird happened is he walked me to my car,
and then as we were walking to my car, he was singing the hi-ho song.
Oh, no.
Hi-ho.
I hope.
It's off to kiss we go.
Oh,
no.
Was he joking?
Was it a joke because of the picture from earlier?
Yeah.
I don't know.
You know,
I just met him.
So,
like,
this is my first impression.
That makes sense.
You're like,
what do you do for living?
You're like,
I'm a miner.
Yeah.
I'm mine for gems.
Look at this diamond
that he's pulled out
from behind your ear.
Oh, now,
now,
let's the truth.
But, okay,
it sounds like,
Olivia,
kind of overwhelmed by how into Disney he is.
Yeah.
It just kind of made me question things.
We can all understand why you might feel that way.
I'm curious if Brian does, though,
because he is on the other line of this call waiting to jump in and talk to you.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
Okay, you guys didn't tell me this when I just told you all this is for me.
You're supposed to yell high.
Sorry about that, Olivia, but yeah, he's there.
Olivia, I get what you're saying there, by the way.
I'm sorry I had to go this route, but maybe I played into it too much.
But no, I don't think I'm actually one of the seven dwarves.
But the one I play, I'm bashful, by the way.
Oh, that's actually kind of endearing.
The sweet one.
Yeah, Brooke is drunky, so yeah, it's better than that one for sure.
Winy.
Olivia, does that make it any better knowing which specific character he is?
I feel like it does.
I don't really know what to say.
To be honest, I just, like, if I'm going to date you, like, do I have to dress up?
No, you don't have to.
That's, like, this is something I do with my friends.
Of course, if you want to, like, that's a thing.
But, like, you don't have to.
Oh, that's good.
I mean, they're thinking it this way, it's healthy.
He's got good friendships.
He has a cool hobby.
He has other interests outside of you, which means he's going to be, you know, not too clingy.
All for Ben's gone on vacation.
Yeah, totally.
And he makes good money if he can afford to go to Disney five times.
You're not wrong.
Totally.
I mean, Alexis, would you be into him if you found out he was a Disney adult?
Would that...
Could I go to the beach while he goes to the park?
He's at the resort still.
I think that's a good compromise.
Yeah.
It's not quite a no.
And, you know, I probably should have waited to tell you this.
Because I normally I don't bring it up, but I felt so comfortable around you and you're having
such a good time that I was like, okay, you.
You know, why not?
Just tell you to.
See, that's good.
Sharing his passions.
Yeah, I mean, it's definitely different than anyone I've dated before.
I guess I could try it out, but if it goes too far, it's not going to be for me.
Well, wait.
Is there maybe a Disney character you're more attracted to that he could try out?
I guess we should explore the princes.
Okay.
There we go.
All right.
that they have a lot of facial hair.
He's willing to shave for that, I bet.
How about a little Chip and Dale?
Those things are great.
Oh, wow.
He's pretty funny, Olivia.
He's going to do whatever, but we'd like to offer.
Is he Roger Rabbit?
Oh, my God.
Well, Brian feels like you two had an obvious connection.
So we'd like to offer to send you out on another date, and we would pay for it.
That's nice.
I wasn't planning to pay for it anyway, but...
Well, it's all right.
I work in a diamond mine, so.
It's covered.
I'm sorry.
I won't make those jokes on the state.
Oh, wow.
Wait, is that a yes, though?
Yes.
All right.
True love is possible in this world, not just in the Disney world.
And turns out you don't have to ask to see a woman's foot and put a slipper on it to see if she's the one for you.
We couldn't have just gone with Dreams Do Come True.
Dreams do come true when you're willing to change yourself as a man in order to fit exactly what a woman wants you to be.
When you wish upon a star, Jeff.
Yeah.
Stars and galaxy signs.
That too. Good job, Brian.
Well, thanks so much, Yang. Thanks for the help.
We got bashful a date?
I know.
That's impressive.
That's a good point.
We really are the fairy godparents.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
I know I was joking at the end there by saying.
saying guys can change themselves to become whichever Disney Prince a woman dreams that she wants
him to be?
I can never actually tell when you're joking or not.
I don't think that women want you to change yourself.
I just think they want you to be cool from the start.
Yeah.
Oh yeah, they want you to be perfect.
Tol.
Olivia did seem tentative about his specific Disney character choices and how deep his passion was.
Yeah.
I mean, for me, someone who goes to Disney once a year, he didn't seem that bad.
There's literally the real Disney adults like live at the park.
Well, five to six times a year is every other month, Jose.
Yeah, that's so awesome.
Totally.
Well, my advice to Brian is don't change yourself, okay?
Be you.
Just maybe wait till date three to bring your long floppy hat into the bedroom.
I'd freak her out a little bit.
No, that's not part of it, Jeff.
Didn't you hear him?
Oh, okay.
Well, whatever it is.
Just be you, Brian.
Whichever Disney dwarf character you are,
you be the best version of that you can be.
That's right.
And if you want some help being the best version of yourself with a little bit of an assist from our show, email us.
And we can call that person who's not calling you back.
Go check out our podcast.
They're up online wherever you get yours at Brooke and Jeffrey.
Rarely do we get involved in local politics.
Oh, we're doing it now.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, but this just came across my desk and it's too juicy.
Jack McCarty is the current.
mayor of North Ridgeland, Texas.
Of course, we all know that.
He's up for re-election on May 2nd.
Jack was expected to run unopposed.
Yeah, oh, what happened, Jeff?
Well, some of the locals haven't approved of his work during his time in office.
Small towns love to hate mayors.
But he's even come out and said he doesn't plan on doing any fundraising or spending any money to help his campaign.
All right.
If no one was running against you, why would you?
And that perked up the ears of a new challenger who just tossed his cowboy hat.
into the ring.
Uh-oh.
His original name is Dustin Ebby,
but he just changed his name legally to, quote,
literally anybody else.
Yeah, dude.
It's not a joke.
This is real.
So on the ballot,
your two choices are current mayor Jack McCarty
or literally anybody else.
This is a level of petty that we can get behind?
I love it.
When he gets elected, is he mayor else?
or is he go by his full name?
You know what I mean?
I think he stays by anybody else.
Now, for Dustin, his friends do call him Dusty,
and he says someday he does plan to change his name back,
depending on if he wins or loses.
I don't know.
I think he's going to like it.
It's so easy just to swap like that.
Yeah.
I mean.
Yeah, literally anybody else definitely has our vote,
and if it continues this way,
we could be saying,
president, anybody else.
Wow.
Very, very soon.
I will also vote for him on the presidential ballot.
Absolutely.
Don't forget literally.
Literally.
Literally.
Anybody else, we support it.
Laser stories coming up right after this.
Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything.
Like packing a spare stick.
I like to be prepared.
That's why I remember 988, Canada's suicide crisis helpline.
It's good to know just in case.
Anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a train responder.
Anytime.
988 suicide crisis helpline is funded by the government in Canada.
I'm Bailey Taylor, and this is It Girl.
You may know me from my It Girl series I've done on the streets of New York over the years.
Well, I've got good news.
I am bringing those interviews and many more to this podcast.
Yes, we will talk about the style and the success,
but we are also talking about the pressure, the expectations,
and the real work with the women's shaping culture right now.
As a woman in the industry, you're always underestimated.
So you have to work extra hard.
and you have to push the narrative in a way that doesn't compromise who you are in your integrity.
You know, I like to say I was kind of like a silent ninja.
Each week, I have unfiltered conversations with female founders, creatives, and leaders to talk about ambition, visibility,
and what it really takes to build something meaningful in the public eye.
Because being a it girl isn't about the spotlight, it's about owning it.
I think the negatives need to be discussed and they need to be told to people who maybe don't do this every day,
just so they know what's really going on.
I feel like pulling the curtain back is important.
Listen to It Girl with Bailey Taylor on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Why hasn't a woman formerly participated in a Formula One race weekend in over a decade?
Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age?
What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year?
He still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction.
And how did a 2023 event called Wagageddon?
change the paddock forever. That day is just seared into my memory. I'm culture writer and F1
expert Lily Herman, and these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on No Grip, a Formula One
culture podcast that dives into the under-explored pockets of the sport. In each episode, a different
guests and I will go deeper into the wacky mishaps, scandals, and sagas, both on the track and far away
from it, that have made F1 a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to No Grip
on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts.
Good people, what's up, what's up?
It's Questlove.
So recently, I had the incredible opportunity
to have a real conversation
with actors and producer, Jamie Lee Curtis,
ahead of the release of her new thriller series, Scarpetta.
I can honestly say I've never done an interview like that before.
You know, at one point, I shut my laptop down.
And we just started chatting as old friends,
recent Oscar recipient.
So we have some commonality there.
I predicted that, by the way.
And you said these words to me, dust off your mantle.
Yes.
And I looked at you and I said, what?
And you said dust off your mantle.
And then I left and that was it.
And then when all of that happened,
I remember the next morning,
I think I wanted to like write you and go,
how did you know?
Listen to the Questlove show on the IHeart Radio
app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hi, this is Joe Winterstein, host of the Spirit Daughter podcast, where we talk about astrology,
natal charts, and how to step into your most vibrant life.
And I just sat down with a mini driver.
The Irish traveler said when I was 16, you're going to have a terrible time with men.
Actor, storyteller, and unapologetic Aquarian visionary.
Aquarius is all about freedom-loving and different perspectives.
and I find a lot of people with strong placements in Aquarius are misunderstood.
A son and Venus in Aquarius in her seventh house spark her unconventional approach to partnership.
He really has taught me to embrace people sleeping in different rooms, on different houses and different places,
but just an embracing of the isness of it all.
If you're navigating your own transformation or just want a chartside view into how a leading artist integrates astrology, creativity, and real life,
This episode is a must listen.
Listen to the Spirit Daughter podcast, starting on February 24th on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your podcast.
It's the radio segment that's brought together two culinary giants, Wrigley's and Hidden Valley, to create ranch-flavored chewing gum.
Ew.
Oh, no.
So your breath smells worse?
Nothing says gourmet like chewable salad dressing.
Yeah.
Go blow some ranch bubbles with your friend.
with laser stories.
The second one where we read weird news stories
around the globe, just like everyone else does,
except we've got a laser.
Those other gooey-chewies just don't.
I can't wait for the Thousand Island flavor.
No, wrong.
This first laser story is out of England.
Two teenagers in the UK
put up a creepy video on YouTube
of them exploring an abandoned mall.
In it, you could see the two boys.
Lee and Reggie climb over a barricaded escalator
to explore the downstairs of the eerily empty shopping center.
And then they heard a spooky noise and ran out of there.
Oh my gosh.
I bet that got some views, you know?
Oh, boy, did it.
A day later, the video went up with the caption,
Abandoned shopping center in the middle of Cardiff City.
We almost got caught by police or something.
Wait, what's the or something?
It could be a ghost, Jose.
They weren't sure.
A mall ghost.
The only problem, the mall they were in was very much.
still open.
Wait, what?
No.
That is so sad.
What do you mean?
Viewers were quick to point out the mall is still actively in business, and it was just
a slow day when the two of them showed up, and the comments started pouring in.
One said, that's just Queens Arcade, mate.
It's always like that.
Another said, you want to come explore my abandoned house?
I'll sit in the living room and close the door behind you.
He walked into a jewelry store like, oh my gosh, someone's here.
How long have you lived here?
He's like, would you like to buy something?
They tried to defend their post saying they entered through a restricted door
and didn't see one single person in the entire 20 minutes they spent inside.
I mean, that could actually be true in some malls.
And set off an alarm somewhere.
Yeah.
How were they supposed to know it was still open?
That is so funny.
You didn't know people went to malls.
I can still smell the Cineabon in here.
Oh, like it's almost like it.
Wow.
Is that a pretzel?
This next laser story is out of Florida.
Yay.
One of the stereotypes of the Sunshine State is that it's packed with drunk elderly people driving golf carts around.
Yes.
That's fun.
Don't they pride themselves on that stereotype?
Well, guess what?
Sometimes that's true.
Hey.
And I say that because a 65-year-old man in Florida named James Pranty is making news.
Uh-oh.
Because he called 911 earlier this month after his wife fell out of their...
golf cart hit her head
and was unconscious.
And nobody got time for that?
And when the cops arrived, they noticed that James appeared
intoxicated. And he
admitted that they had been partying
at the club since noon. And it was around 9 p.m. at the
time. Wow. That really is the club
for old people. It's the country club.
I'm sorry, if you're 65 and you can still go
nine hours of steady drinking, that is
impressive. Well, he probably took a couple
maps. Yeah. Just dozed often.
Well, he did fail the sobriety
And right as they were about to put him in cuffs, his wife suddenly came to, sat up and told James, if cops show up, don't tell them that you were drinking.
Oh, honey.
They're good.
Too late.
A little late for that.
He was arrested in charge with DUI with serious bodily injury.
Thankfully, his wife should be okay.
Just a little bump on the head and she's forgotten the last five years of her life.
No big deal.
Whatever.
Not the good five years.
No, exactly.
I mean, do we not have golf car Ubers yet?
Because that may be our new business plan.
We can hit every retirement community in Florida.
I love it.
You get that started.
This next laser story is out of courtship co.
We have some good news for you.
If you have a thing for someone, but you're pretty sure that they think you're, you know,
gross?
Not quite ready to quit your day job and start modeling yet.
You know what I mean?
They're not attracted to you.
a weird way. I'm trying not to be so cruel
about it, bro. You're trying to be nice, but you don't have to be,
brother. Just because you're ugly to one person doesn't mean you're
ugly to everyone, Jeff. That's the message I'm trying to give here.
There is still hope for you.
Yeah, there you go. Just keep putting your
face directly in front of theirs.
What? But if you're ugly
and they think you're ugly, well, no. Because a new
study out of Harvard University found
the more you look at a face, the
more attractive you start to think it is.
I feel like Jeffrey's messaging is, also the closer
you get, the more it'll work.
Yeah, get in their face.
It's worth a shot.
So even if your first impression
of someone is that they're absolutely
ugly, keep looking at them long
enough and you'll eventually start to find
them kind of attractive.
Wow, well, it's very nice.
Is that where the tension rises between you and Brooke
every day, Jeff? It's more of like Brooks family
reunion tensions.
Every year, tension grows stronger.
What? She's known her cousin for 30 years now.
You guys are so gross.
They only gets hotter. The researchers got the
idea because an old study found when people looked at a color for a long time, they thought it looked
brighter when nothing really had changed about it. Oh, that's interesting. It's called the
enhancement effect. And now we know it works for faces too. So if you know this now, you should
really try to take advantage of it. Oh, well, I mean, if you're hot on the apps, then in 30 years when
you're married to that person, they must be super attracted, right? There you go. Yeah. Well, because you only
see them for a second when you flip through. Totally.
Let's go to your...
I like you, Brooke.
I'm thinking to it.
We're sticking to it.
Let's go to your final laser story out of Tennessee.
A 34-year-old woman named Brenda Harper was checking her doorbell camera
and noticed a 78-year-old door-dash driver struggling to climb up her stairs to deliver her order.
Oh, my gosh.
I saw this and I cried.
So did she get on the camera and be like, hey, can you go a little faster?
Yeah, no.
No, she went outside to help and got.
got her meal. And when she went inside, Brenda noticed his name was on the receipt. So she did a little
internet sleuthing and found him in real life.
Okay.
All town, I'm sure it's easy to fly people.
Creepy, Brenda.
Well, great stalking skills.
She then sent him a message, and he responded, and Brenda learned the reason why he was
still working was to help cover his wife's kidney disease medication.
Oh, that's the cutest story ever.
That's not cute?
Well, it turns cute.
Instead of doing nothing about it, Brenda decided to launch a GoFundMe and it quickly went viral.
Yeah.
Oh, that's awesome.
In the end, it even surprised her how many people cared because the GoFundMe has now surpassed $900,000.
I clicked on this and I went to donate and was like, well, never mind.
Okay.
Suddenly he's a rich guy.
He leaves his wife and finds a hot piece of his money.
Sorry.
He's on a speedboat somewhere in Florida.
Well, according to the enhancement effect, if he keeps delivering DoorDash to that same house, Brenda's going to find him hotter and hotter.
But it turns out the two of them couldn't be happier with how it turned out.
Yay, what a miracle.
And that much cash is a great thing.
But has anybody thought of raising money through a gently worn shoe sale?
No, Kevin.
I know a guy who would be more than willing to donate for it.
Not sure if it's gently, but he is all in on those donations.
And that's how I mean's the story has come to an end for the day.
We'll do it again.
Same time on Friday.
It is not Newby Week anymore.
That has come and gone.
Is it Elder Week?
We've moved on to Ugly Week, where every contestant is a certified four or lower.
How can we confirm that on the radio?
The state has asked us to do a favor because all the pretty privileged people are always getting all the perks.
All the benefits of life.
So we got to step in and take care of the uggos of the world.
Did we check the area code make sure it's not from the pretty part of town?
I mean, it's got to be from where we all live.
Yeah.
We're definitely in the same group as that.
It's going to be an ugly, ugly, ugly day.
Yeah.
Ugly day.
Ugly day.
Yeah.
Ugly day.
And today we're talking to Mark.
Mark, how would you rate yourself on the uggometer scale of one to ugg?
Hopefully one
Because I do have a lady in my life
And I'm going to show how many guys
An ugly day
Oh, wow
Ladies love uggos all the time
Yeah, you got one heck of a personality
You're way too nice to be hot for me.
I know
Yeah, yeah
That's just a fact
Yeah, just too much personality for this show to handle
We better get to the game as quickly as possible
You got 30 seconds on the clock to answer as many questions
as possible. If you don't know when you can say pass, but you have to beat Brooke, who's already left the studio outright in order to win.
She's too pretty to be in here. Exactly. Scared her away. Good job, Mark. Are you ready?
I'm ready. Yeah, let's do it. You got it. Your time starts now. Who was the first president to serve two non-consecutive terms?
Roosevelt. In the TV show, The Office. Who is assistant to the regional manager?
Dwight.
In which decade did World War II end?
40s, 1940s.
In the Marvel universe, the actor Benedict Cumberbatch played the role of what superhero?
Dr. Strange.
What Olympic sport gives competitors three attempts at the snatch?
Pass.
Name the musician that was in the band's Nirvana and foo fighters.
Dave Something.
Dave Something.
If his name was Dave Something, that would be an awesome.
Oh, good work there.
Mark, that was not bad at all.
That's your first try, right?
The first time playing the game?
Yeah, I know Brooklyn's my one, you know.
It was also his first time.
He was a newbie and an uggo at the same time.
Wow, ugly and a rookie.
He had a tax break for that.
Nugo.
Yeah, he brings so much to the table.
And if you're hearing Mark right now wondering,
whoa, is that guy single?
Sorry, ladies.
He is an engaged man.
Oh, congrats, bro.
Tell us how you pop the question to your special lady.
So we went down to San Francisco and I thought a surprise proposal on the beach on that.
I thought it was really nice, we had some candles,
a nice board, a nice little picnic.
Oh, that night.
Beautiful.
That's cute.
That's cute.
Yeah.
Awesome.
What a romantic story.
Thanks for sharing that with us, Mark.
Congrats, Mark.
Now it's Brooke's turn.
Brooke, are you ready?
Yes, I'm ready.
Your time starts now.
Who is the first president to serve two non-consecutive terms?
I'm going to go,
I don't even know.
Give me Adams.
In the TV show, the office,
who is assistant to the regional manager?
Dwight Shrewt.
In which decade did World War II
end? In the 40s.
In the Marvel universe, the actor
Benedict Cumberbatch played the role
of what superhero? Doctor Strange.
In what Olympic sport
do they give competitors three attempts at the
snatch? Oh, you're snatching your weightlifting.
All right, we got our answers in. Time to head
on over to the scoreboard to see how you both did with Jose.
I have one simple
request, and that is
to have sharks with frickin'
laser beans that dance into their heads.
Balanos.
that movie. Mark, you
got three correct today, man.
Your fiance will be so proud
of you. Well done. He snatched it.
Good one, bro.
I did snatch it. Yes, you did.
Brooke Ford,
correct. We were so, so close.
Just barely wasn't enough today.
Look is pretty and smart.
First president to serve two
non-consecutive terms would be President
Grover Cleveland. Oh, wow. It took that long.
He was the 22nd and the 24th
president.
I'm crazy about him.
In the TV, that's true.
In the TV show, the office, Dwight Shrut is assistant to the regional manager.
World War II ended in the 1940s, 1945 specifically.
In the Marvel Universe, Benedict Cumberbatch plays Doctor Strange.
Olympic sport that gives you three attempts at the snatch would be weightlifting.
And Brook didn't get to this one.
The musician who was in Nirvana and foo fighters.
That would be Dave Grohl.
Yeah.
We couldn't give you half credit for that, Mark.
I'm sorry.
I still would have lost, though.
Yeah, three and a half.
You know what?
Let's give him the half credit.
Okay, three and a half.
Did he say Dave somebody else?
He said Dave something.
Well, I'm sorry, Mark, it wasn't enough to win today, but the good news is just for playing.
We're giving you a pair of tickets to the Washington State Spring Fair.
Yay.
The fair runs April 10th through the 12th and April 17th through the 19th.
For more information, go to the fair.com.
Hey, I'll take it.
Thanks, thanks, guys.
There you go.
All right.
Thanks for coming on and playing.
And sorry about all the insults.
man. It's okay. My theatrical
give me some good compliments.
Okay. There you go. Hey Mark, you're welcome
back on the show anytime. Come back and play again soon.
We're going to do Winbrooks' buck same time. Tomorrow.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Good people. What's up? What's up? It's Questlove.
So recently I had the incredible
opportunity to have a real conversation
with an actress and producer, Jamie Lee
Curtis, from routines to recovery,
true lies, and a certain
Jermaine Jackson music video.
Jamie's surreal and raw.
and something I really admire about her.
I am so happy that I'm the head bitch in charge at 67,
that I have the perspective that I have at my age,
to really be able to put all of this into context.
Listen to the Questlove show on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,
