Starting point is 00:00:00 Did we get some comments yesterday? Hey, it's Brick and Jeffrey. Welcome to the full show podcast. We got a brand new hour for you. And we had a mass speaker on yesterday that sounded like we didn't turn the voice changer on. Yeah. Even I was convinced. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:13 We promise. We promise that her voice was altered. Yeah. Why it sounded like a normal voice. I don't know. Maybe her original voice is super high. So when you make it low, it just sounds like this. Or she sounds like a robot.
Starting point is 00:00:26 Oh, yeah. In real life. I don't know. I don't know why it sounds. sounded like that, but I swear it was on. Got a lot of attention. A lot of comments, but we couldn't reply to all of them. We're like, we'll just address it on the podcast tomorrow. So thanks for the heads
Starting point is 00:00:38 up, though, because that is something that we would screw up. Totally, totally. I thought we did. I mean, we all thought we did. I was like, oh, never mind. So you aren't crazy for a sooner night. So before we get to this brand new full hour, what's our comment of the day? Speaking of another thing that seems like an air, but
Starting point is 00:00:53 it's not on our show. Kenna Hall said, not sure if you all know, But every time you post on YouTube after Jeff says your phone taps coming up It's when Brooks bucks next But it's because our show is four hours And we edited it down to one for the podcast So sometimes Jeff says something's coming up next
Starting point is 00:01:10 So on the radio there's music and commercials And other things in there But okay well just know it's Is this making it more confusing? It is election Just end every break with This is coming up next Or a song or a commercial
Starting point is 00:01:22 We're just gonna do this Or a YouTube video If you hear anything wrong From now on just blame Alexis Okay, I like that. That's what it comes down to. I probably did it on purpose, 99.9% chance.
Starting point is 00:01:33 All right. Your full hour with all the mistakes, start right now. It's time to place your bets for the big game. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And who am I kidding? A lot of you probably already have
Starting point is 00:01:47 because modern sports have basically devolved into a delivery system for widespread legalized gambling. Hey. America. We. did it. But experts say
Starting point is 00:01:59 this year alone on the big bowl that some call super Americans are going to spend an all-time record $1.76 billion on gambling. Dude, I'm so glad that we can't feed in house people. That's so good.
Starting point is 00:02:15 Yeah, this is way more important. You know that we lose could help some people. And that's not even talking about under the table stuff. That's just like draft kings and Vandual and Vegas. You love to talk about under the table. My favorite kind of stuff. Cash only.
Starting point is 00:02:30 Because no single event brings fans together quite like the great American football game of all games. You know the game we're saying. So do our lawyers. And this new record-setting figure shows just how much Americans truly enjoy gambling as part of that magical experience. My husband still owes me $30 from a Super Bowl 10 years ago. I'm pretty funny. A big game 10 years ago. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:02:55 Well, we just lost $20,000. to the NFL. No one takes you to say of a real name. No one knew what we were talking about. But is that the biggest bet that you've ever made sports-wise, Brooke,
Starting point is 00:03:04 30 bucks with your husband? Yeah. That's the biggest. I already do 10 bucks on roulette with me. Now, was that an above table or under the table? My husband is definitely under the table.
Starting point is 00:03:18 Speaking of going under the table, let's throw this over to our digital producer and our show's personal bookie, Jake, as a famous Denver Bronco quarterback once said, let's ride, Jake.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Well, 2003 was a great year. Trucker hats were in. Jose was wearing his velour track suit to high school. Definitely not doing weed. No, never. Doing it. But I did have a Von Dutch hat. And Brooke was over at her friend's house with a whale tail hanging out,
Starting point is 00:03:49 crunch and munch while laughing at Larry the cable guy specials on VHS. Oh, yeah. I never wore a whale tail. I had like Scooby-Doo underwear that year that my girlfriends were making fun of it for. Mystery machine. They'd still hang out. There was just a lot more fabric. I was a male talent.
Starting point is 00:04:06 Did not need for your hand of Barbera. But in 2004, that's when everything changed. Because a little website called Facebook was created. Oh, my. Picture this. A college-age Mark Zuckerberg sitting in this tiny dorm room asking other Harvard students to log on and rate the hotness of their fellow Ivy League classmates. It's always someone like Zuckerberg that's right in hotness. That's how it started, really. Watch the movie.
Starting point is 00:04:32 But since then, Facebook has evolved into a place where your aunt argues with some guy named Freedom Eagle 1776 about the dangers of windmills. Yeah, oh gosh, and he knows so much about it. That's why today, in honor of Facebook's birthday, we're playing a special pre-face or post-face edition of plenty of 20. Say a number 1 through 20, I'll give you a famous person, product, company pop culture moment. You need to tell me if it came before Facebook, preface, or after Facebook post-face. Interesting. Facebook's 2004.
Starting point is 00:05:08 Yes. We'll start with the woman who's a proud preface herself. That's Alexis. Five. Alexis, in this year, the euro officially became a physical currency of Europe. Lose Yourself by Eminem was released, and the TV show American Idol premiered. Did all these things happen pre-faced or post-face? Again, 2004.
Starting point is 00:05:29 American Idol's throwing me off. When did that start? Eminem, too. I'm like, is he pre-2000? I don't know. Just use your vast knowledge of the euro as currency. It's true. I know more about that than American Idol or Eminem.
Starting point is 00:05:42 That's a area of expertise. Foreign currency. I'm going to say pre-face. Alexis says before 2004. Yes, right, Alexis. 2002 was that year. Oh, geez. Oh, geez.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Oh, geez. Oh, it's closer than I thought. Brooke, we're over to you. Five is off the board. Well, let's choose four since it's 2004. In this year, Curb Your Enthusiasm debuted on HBO. Big Brother debuted on CBS. The film Castaway hit theaters.
Starting point is 00:06:10 And the PlayStation 2 was released. Is that preface or post face? Well, this would have been an era where I don't think I owned a television. Okay. I think Cassaway happened after 2004. I'm going to say post face. Brooks says post face. That's a preface.
Starting point is 00:06:33 Any guess on the year or anyone? 2003. 2000. 2000. Just a flat new millennium 2000. Dude, Big Brother's been going for that long. Wild. Jose, four and five are off the board.
Starting point is 00:06:46 Okay, let's go two for the 2000s. In this year, the Xbox 360 was released. Video games. The first season of the office aired. Oh. Juicy Couture track suits were everywhere, and the song We Belong Together by Mariah Carey. Oh, my.
Starting point is 00:07:00 Hit number one. Is that preface or post face? Wow. Juicy was so big in high school. Which means Paris Hilton was huge. Yeah. Right? Because she's really...
Starting point is 00:07:11 And that was when she had that TV show on. Simple life. Simple life. I feel like it's going to be just before, like, 2003. So I'm going to say, pre-furtain. Jose says before Facebook. No, Jose, just after 2005 was that year. Jeffrey, we're going over to you.
Starting point is 00:07:31 We're doing preface or post face for Facebook's birthday. I need to get this right, or Alexis is going to win today. I have been wrong on all of my guesses so far. I'm going to say 16 for no reason. Okay. There's only a finite amount of year, so this should be easier for you. Jeffrey, in this year, the movie Finding Nemo was released. The iTunes Music.
Starting point is 00:07:51 store launched and the shining star amongst all cell phones ever was created the Motorola Razor. Oh yeah. Just tell me, Jeff, is this preface or post face? Okay. Bring back that razor life. I know. I think they tried to actually. My mind is so messed up.
Starting point is 00:08:10 Because I swear I had a Motorola razor when I was 10 years old. And I don't think that's right. Yeah. And that was my second phone. My first phone was one of those no keys. Those little gray bricks. Are you kidding? I wanted a razor, but I didn't have enough money to buy one.
Starting point is 00:08:28 So I got like a, yeah, freebie that was like a knockoff. That's what I kind of got later. And that's the only reference that I have is that I have. Why do I feel like you bejeweled your razor too? I hired people to do it for me. Yes. So I just out of that, I'm going to say it's preface. Jeffrey says preface.
Starting point is 00:08:49 And he's correct. That's 2003. Three, and that brings us to a tiebreaker between Alexis and Jeff. Alexis, I need a number from you. If you get it right, you win. If you get it wrong, Jeffrey wins. Okay, three. I'm going to say six.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Okay, Jeffrey, didn't ask you. I'll stick with her three. This is just for Alexis. Jeffrey, please do not answer. Alexis, in this year, Narls Barkley dominated the radio with the song Crazy. Twitter launched, and the film Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest came out to huge crowds. Is that pre-face or post-face? Oh, Pirates that
Starting point is 00:09:22 Caribbean, I feel like, is older than, I don't know, I feel like it's early 2000s. I'm going to say pre-phase. Lexus says pre-it's pose. Thanks to the year 2006, Jeffrey has won today's edition of Plenty of 20. All right, and for losing the tiebreaker to me
Starting point is 00:09:41 through no effort of my own. Alexis, you are getting shocked while singing, We Belonged together by the Raii-Kerry. Throwback. When you left, I lost a part of me. It's still so hard to believe. Thank you, Lord.
Starting point is 00:09:58 We all lost a part of ourselves. That was your shock collar question of the day. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. You've heard of an earworm where a song gets stuck in your head and you just can't stop hearing it. It happens to me all the time, yes. Well, I have something similar. I call it brain worms. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Wait, that's not a thing. Where I have an interesting thought, and I just obsess about it for hours and hours, and I can't stop thinking about it. I thought you just ate some bad meat in the things. You actually got into the south. This is different. This is brain worms. And full disclosure, right now my skull is riddled with these brain worms. That is so gross.
Starting point is 00:10:40 I think I caught him over the weekend at a highway truck stop. And the only cure is a brand new edition of what's on your mind. That's how you get real worms. You're going to let the worms out? Yeah, I know. I'll feel better once I get my brain-worn thoughts out there and gone for good during a brand-new what's on your mind. It's coming up right now. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Starting point is 00:11:01 And back in my day, there was so much toilet paper. And so many eggs, we'd gather at night and throw them at the houses of our enemies. It's too expensive now. It's just different times. How do we navigate this crazy new modern world? Not very gracefully. You're going to find that out as we go around the room sharing what we've each been thinking about for what's on your mind. Starting with Brooke, Brooke, what's on your mind?
Starting point is 00:11:28 So recently I went to a lunch with one of our big bosses, like, you know, big, big boss. And we were talking about goals for the show. And I was like, oh, you know, we really want to grow our video presents. We want people to follow our YouTube, Abrog and Jeffrey. Yep, you're not there already. And he goes, well, you know what you have to do. And I'm like, oh my god, I'm gonna get this like crazy industry secret, right? Yeah, he's connected, he must know.
Starting point is 00:11:53 Totally, totally. And he goes, you know. And I'm like, what? Only fans? Is that what he's suggesting? I don't know. I was like, I don't get it. And he kind of like does a hand motion at my face.
Starting point is 00:12:08 Okay. He's like, well, you just, you know, you need to fix that. Oh, you know, work done. What? The glasses. The glasses are holding her back. He goes, well, it's just like you're so beautiful when you, like, put in some effort. No.
Starting point is 00:12:27 The thing is, is that he's not wrong. He's not wrong. Oh, yeah, people that text were always like, who knew Brooke was so hard? No, no. She just never tried. So I just want to apologize to the show for holding you back. Yes, thank you. With my greasy hair and my unkept face.
Starting point is 00:12:46 Yes, thanks for hiding most of it under a hat for this seven. I appreciate that. I haven't taken this lesson to heart yet, but we're working on it. Good word, Brooke. Jose, what's been on your mind? Well, I know that a lot of my stories have to do with bathroom sporting events. You do spend like 90% of your life in bathrooms. I do.
Starting point is 00:13:04 I do. So even when I'm at sporting events, I'm in the bathroom a lot. And you're not going to believe this. I got another story for you. Oh, right. Let's go. So I'm standing in line waiting for the bathroom. And there's a guy in front.
Starting point is 00:13:16 front of me and he has a giant bucket of food. It's like In the bathroom? Yes, in the bathroom. And he looks at and he's like, dude, I did not think about this. I should have gotten this after the bathroom. I don't know I'm by myself. I don't know how I'm going to put this down. It's a huge bucket, like a popcorn bucket
Starting point is 00:13:32 imagine, right? You don't want to put that on the floor. No, totally. It's already getting stuff. Yeah. Just being in the room is kind of gross. I get that. But I go, hey man, I can hold your stuff. So a urinal opens up and he hands me his food. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:46 And then he walks away to the urinal, but then I realized, well, I can't just, like, stand here because I got to be by him. Yeah, yeah. So I kind of follow him to his urine. Okay. Right? Why don't you follow? So then I'm, like, kind of behind him, and then I realized I look like a butler. Oh.
Starting point is 00:14:00 I'm just, like, holding his food while this guy's... And he's very happy. He's talking to me. Oh, yeah. Anyway, so now he's done, and he's like, hey, I got to go wash my hands. Will you? Follow me back? Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:14:14 So I go out. But you have to go out. I have not. I have not gone to the bathroom yet. But it sparked an idea. What if I started some type of bathroom butlers for hire at stadiums? Where you pay me to hold your stuff. You're going to be there anyway.
Starting point is 00:14:28 I'm going to be standing there the whole time anyway, and it could have to pay for all my tickets and stuff. I could make an app. This could be a whole bathroom butler situation. It's a whole side career for you. Yeah. Okay. Text in. You think it's a good idea.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Alexis, what's been on your mind? So there's this guy I'm interested in in talking to right now, and his first language is Spanish, and mine's not, obviously. Really? Okay. What?
Starting point is 00:14:52 I'm glad you said, obviously, nobody could tell. Just to clarify. But when I text him, I'm trying to practice Spanish. So I'm, like, texted Spanish sometimes here and there, okay? Oh, that's good. Do you use, like, Google Translates? Sometimes, yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:06 Sometimes I just go for it. No, you should. We can correct you. It's good. Yes, I'm like, I'll know what I'm trying to say, right? The other day, he was, like, trying to ask if you could call me about something, and I just replied, like, oh, it didn't work out to talk at the same time today, you know? You wrote that in Spanish?
Starting point is 00:15:21 Yes. I thought so. I thought I said that in Spanish. But then he replies, like, oh, okay, if that's what you want, like, dot, dot, dot. And I was like, that's kind of weird. And then I was like, what? And then he's, like, tone shifted, and I was like, this is kind of weird. What did you say?
Starting point is 00:15:36 So I went and put it in a translator. And I don't know what happened. It said, quote, I'm sorry. I'm not managing to find a good balance in life right now. And I think it's a good idea for us to not talk at all. What? I broke on with him. I put so many words.
Starting point is 00:15:53 Like, what happened? I'm like speaking in English, obviously. No, that's not what I meant. So you accidentally broke up with a guy you like. By trying to speak his language. By trying to get closer to his language. My Spanish teacher will be hearing from here. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:09 We need to hire you a translator. All right, Jeffrey, what's on your mind? Well, if you've listened to our language. show for a while you probably know this already but our number one most popular segment by far is the second date updates yeah dude and the thing is whenever you do something that's popular and people like it there's bound to be copycats oh there's so many out there people trying to get in on the action so i know on tic-tok people have just been ripping off our feed they'll play the audio and put images of like video game play over it yeah yeah but now there's a new wrinkle there's several youtube accounts
Starting point is 00:16:42 that are posting our second date content using AI generated images particularly of me and Brooke in the thumbnail. I have seen one picture of you and Brooke that wasn't. I'm sorry. Who do I sue? I printed out a few just to show you. Maybe we could show these on camera too so our listeners can see.
Starting point is 00:17:04 I've titled each of these just for myself for my own pleasure. The first one I call Fun 80s mom. Brooke, why don't you? Look at that one. Oh my God. They look kind of similar to us, but they really do Brooke dirty on this one. You know a blonde cop on Reno 911?
Starting point is 00:17:24 You kind of look like her in that picture. Second one I titled Jeffrey and the geriatric. No. What do you think of that, bro? Oh, my gosh. Oh, wait. Let me see. Don't show it to the camera.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Pretty close to how you look in real life. Oh, no. Dude, that looks like I'm going to be on the Golden Bachelor. Yeah. I think you're too old for the Golden Bachelor. What is happening? The last one is probably the most accurate one. I'm going to call this one Rogue Kiss.
Starting point is 00:17:54 As far as, like, look-alikes, it looks really close. Why is my head not even attached to my body? You're that desperate to get your lips onto my face, obviously. So you can see all of the AI images. on our official YouTube at Brook and Jeffrey. That's the real one. What is AI hate me? That's what's been on our mind.
Starting point is 00:18:18 You can text in 78592. Tell us what's been on yours. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And we've got a lot of listeners right now who are writing into the show on our text board you can write into at 78592 and tell us what's been on your mind. First one says, OMG, hi. I'm such a fan of you guys.
Starting point is 00:18:39 I can't believe. leave you responded to me. Oh, geez. Another sad text from Brooke's husband. Brooke, will you right back to him this time? I will later. Keep holding on, Michael.
Starting point is 00:18:56 Another text says, what's on my mind is that this fog is thicker than Brooke's glasses. Deng. Physically impossible. Thank you, Jake. You're the only one that can see through it. I pulled up my prescription the other day for a girlfriend because I was like, no, they're really bad. And I was like, whoa, it's
Starting point is 00:19:10 even worse than I remembered. You're starting to forget things too? No, no. The brain is going as well. Another text says, final one, can't believe I just drunk texted a radio show, part emoji. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:19:23 I can't believe I just read that sober. So I guess you and me are even. If you want to hear more from the show, you go find our podcast on Apple, Spotify, all the platforms. YouTube. You know, all the things. At Brooke and Jeffrey.
Starting point is 00:19:37 In the morning. No question. Finding a good, stable partner right now seems harder than ever. When you get one, hold on. Seriously. And some of your quote-unquote friends, I'm sure, will try to help you with your dating life by telling you to ditch toxic people. You know, beware of red flags. Remember your self-worth.
Starting point is 00:20:03 Yeah, all that is good. No, wrong. Not us. We are saying the opposite. We are? We don't want you to be. cautious. We don't want you to remember your worth. We say go climb in that weird van with those strange people. No, we don't say that. Yeah, chase down all the red flags. Oh, God. You have
Starting point is 00:20:22 danger in the face and kiss it right on the mouth. Because we need your wild train wreck date stories so our listeners can hear them and have a reason to not feel bad about themselves. Okay. That's right. We're going to let those red flags fly during a brand new edition of Battle of the Tinder dates. Man, how heroic, Jeff. That's right. Coming up. We did it.
Starting point is 00:20:44 You did it. Yeah. And we support you coming up. Right after this. Two hopeless daters. One dating app that dares you to swipe right. The question is, whose love life is more tragic? It's Battle of the Tinder dates.
Starting point is 00:20:58 It is the dating game show that reminds every hopeful lover. You can't spell marriage without I rage. Oh. 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.
Starting point is 00:21:18 In this corner, he likes to hook up in his car, but insists you both keep your seatbelts on the entire time. How? Say hello to backseat, Pete. Yo, whip up guys. No whiplash for you, Pete. And in the other corner, his perfect date involves going to a 7-Eleven, splitting a slurpy, then going Lady in the Tramp on an extra large beef stick.
Starting point is 00:21:43 That's why they call him Slim Jim, Tim. Hey, what's up, guys? Nothing about that sounds that bad, too. I don't know. Just describe Brooks' dream date. Here's how the game works. One contestant will start by telling one of their worst date stories. The other will try and counter with a nightmare story of their own,
Starting point is 00:22:00 going back and forth for three rounds until we declare a winner. Let's start it off with backseat Pete. Go for it. Okay. So I took my date to one of those, like, old drive-in movie theaters. Cute. And we agreed ahead of time that she had the better car for the movie. Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:17 But when we got there, somehow, while trying to park, she hit three different vehicles. What? Alexis is being mighty quiet right now. That's interesting. Give her a break. I like that she hit two and you were like, you know what, keep going. You got this. Yeah, finally we decided to leave.
Starting point is 00:22:39 I drove. You drove. You drove. Okay. Only hit one car. That's great. All right. Slim Jim, Tim.
Starting point is 00:22:45 Well, I went out with a girl who insisted that we meet at Home Depot for our first date. Huh. Nice. I like a date with an activity. Sure. I get there and she texts me to meet her in the lumber area. Oh, my. That's so forward.
Starting point is 00:23:03 Oh. Okay. That's where it goes down. Only Jeff's spot. Right there. So I managed to find her, and she's in a very revealing outfit. And a number of guys are hitting on her, trying to pick her up. And she walks over to me with this big smile, and she says,
Starting point is 00:23:22 Are you jealous yet? Oh. Did you see all the suburban dads who want this? Oh, God. All right, we're on to round two. That means Pete, you got to step it up. We're back to you. So awkward.
Starting point is 00:23:36 So halfway through dinner, I was telling a story to my date when she said, wait, my therapist is going to love this. Oh. Uh-oh. And then she started voice recording a mid-date. Okay. Oh, I mean, maybe she's trying to get you a free therapy. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:56 So she, like, turns the phone towards me and goes, wait, can you just repeat what you just said? What? Oh. She wants her therapist to know about you. That must mean she. into you. Oh. Oh, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:24:10 They don't like, look, another broken one. Yeah. All right. Tim, time to punch back. I met up with this really cute girl at a bar and a few minutes in, she tells me that she only dates men
Starting point is 00:24:24 who are taller than her ex. Oh. Okay. All right. I'm like, how tall is he? Right. That's when she takes me by the arm over to the bartender and says, this is him.
Starting point is 00:24:38 Oh. She still hangs out there. He had me. No joke. Stand back to back. Oh, that was cringe. And who was taller? He was taller.
Starting point is 00:24:50 Oh. Sorry. Sounds like she's totally over him, though. Yeah. Yeah. Clearly not. And then the barter was like, dude, I'm so sorry.
Starting point is 00:24:59 And he ended up giving me a free drink. Oh, nice. He's a chill. Actually, yeah, he's a cool guy. I like it. Yeah. I think he's not. I think he knew what was done.
Starting point is 00:25:07 Clearly. All right. We're on to the third and final round, so we need your best stories here, gentlemen. So backseat, Pete, hit us with it. Okay, so a girl invited me over to her house to watch a movie and give takeout. Asked if I could grab in and out on the way over.
Starting point is 00:25:23 Oh, yes. Animal style, let's go. Yeah, so I did. And I waited in a really long drive-through line. My case, sorry, it's taken forever. I finally get to her place. I ring the doorbell, nothing. What?
Starting point is 00:25:39 Then she texts me, she's like, hey, I want to play a game. So I'm like, okay. And she instructs me to leave the food by the front door. Okay. And then she tells me to go stand by my car. So I do. Then I see her open the door, take the food, shut off the porch light, and then she blocks me on text.
Starting point is 00:26:05 No. She figured out a delivery driver hat. So do you win the game or does she win the game? I can't tell. I think he's the loser. Well, I will say she did leave me a $5 tip on her welcome pass. Oh, okay. All right. Pete, you win.
Starting point is 00:26:21 That's pretty nice. Except you don't get the in and out. All right, Slim, Jim, Tim, this is your last shot. Yeah, so I met this girl on Tinder and in her bio, she said one of her favorite things to do is go shopping. So I took her to a farmer's market. That's cute. Oh, okay. That's a classic for a day.
Starting point is 00:26:40 Because when girls say shopping, they mean for vegetables. Yeah. You've got to be specific. So we met up and she doesn't really look like she's having fun. So I asked her, I was like, what's up? And then she tells me she's sorry, but she doesn't support local businesses. What? Oh.
Starting point is 00:27:01 How is that even a thing? That's a hot take. She says, it's a gimp. her beliefs. And she only shops at Amazon and Timu. Yeah. Oh, my God. All those mom and pop shops
Starting point is 00:27:13 cutting in on Amazon's profits. It's not okay. I only support billionaires. We heard the final bell there. That means the match is over. So judges, let's score it. Alexis, who are you giving it to? I'm going to Tim, because you were just too short
Starting point is 00:27:28 compared to the X. We got one. She's done. Brooke, what about you? I got to say Pete for the Uber driver. We're all locked up here, so Jose, final choice is yours. Oh, my gosh. I think the therapist date was so cringe.
Starting point is 00:27:42 I got to go with Pete. I mean, congratulations. Backseat Pete. You are our screwed dude of the week. How does it feel? Yeah, I don't know. Does it get lower than this? Sadly, I think it may.
Starting point is 00:27:58 Wait until we get to the championship series. I know. We're having you back for another round soon. but text in 78592 if you want to appear on the next edition of Battle of the Tinder dates. We got your phone tap coming up right after this. It's almost time for your prank call. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. And it's not like we don't have a plan going into these.
Starting point is 00:28:17 We usually do. Or at least our producer does. An idea of a plan. Yeah. A concept of some sort of plan. That's brilliant. And today we were calling a guy who's selling a piece of IKEA furniture on Craigslist. Okay.
Starting point is 00:28:32 And our plan was to intimidate him by saying we work for IKEA and you can't just go and sell our stuff whenever you want to. Okay. And then we were going to call him back later and say, actually, we changed our minds. You totally can sell it. And then we'd call again and be like, actually, no, we're changing again. Our legal team says no. Okay. That's funny.
Starting point is 00:28:53 It does feel like dealing with a corporation too. Yeah. But we didn't know that he'd get so bothered the first time we brought it up. So had to go a little bit of a different route. You're going to hear it in your phone tap right now. Brooke and Jeffrey's phone taps on the 20s. Hello. Hi, I'm calling about the IKEA side table you put on Craigslist.
Starting point is 00:29:16 Yeah, you got the right number. Who, who am I speaking? I don't really feel like answering that question. But I just saw it has a price here listed for $50. That's correct, sir. Is it not sold yet? No, not sold just yet. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:34 Well, I have a big problem with it. What's that? Well, I'm calling from IKEA, and you were trying to sell our products. It's kind of a copyright issue. Well, I bought it, and so then it became mine, and so now I'm selling it. So that's just how that works. Actually, no, that's not how it works, because your ad says IKEA side table. Which is accurate. I bought it from IKEA.
Starting point is 00:30:04 Well, if you would just put manufactured Swedish wink side table on the end, then we wouldn't have had a leg to stand on, but you put our company name in it, and that's brand infringement. Is this really happening right now? I'm selling an IKEA table. That is what it is for $50. There you go. And you're coming after me. You said it again. So, listen, if I was you, I wouldn't even say it out loud because we could ding you for that as well.
Starting point is 00:30:31 since you're not a representative of the company. Well, you're not me. I'm me. You can't stop me no matter who you are. I'm going to do what I'm going to do because this is stupid. What are you talking about? It is stupid that you would put it up for sale the way that you did. You know what, stupid? Ikea hiring guys like you to go through Craigslist.
Starting point is 00:30:49 You know what? I'm feeling kind of generous today. I'm going to help you out here. If you don't want to, you can face the legal repercussions. Well, I'm definitely not your buddy. And this call is wasting my time. so do whatever you're going to do. I'm going to keep this ad up and I'm going to sell it
Starting point is 00:31:04 under the Ikea name because that's what the fuck it is. That's totally fine. Keep the ad up. I would just recommend you change it to say side table, possibly from a popular Swedish furniture manufacturer. Sure not going to do that, bud. If you do, I'll reduce the fine on it.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Yeah. What? Normally it'd be a $10,000. You don't hear yourself. I do. You must not hear yourself. This is not how it works. Well, you should be listening to me
Starting point is 00:31:30 because normally it's a $10,000 penalty for anyone who does what you're doing. But I would generously, I would reduce it to $5,000 since it's a first time infraction. Oh, now I get it. This is a scam. You're not even from IKEA. It's making sense. No, I absolutely am, sir. And I can prove it.
Starting point is 00:31:49 Sure you are. Sure you are. I could prove it to you. Please do. Okay. You know how we have funny names for our furniture in the store? Ask me about any piece, dining table, chair. Ottoman, whatever.
Starting point is 00:32:02 I could tell you immediately the Swedish translation for it. Nice. That's cool. I'm going to hop on IKEA.com and have that same info in front of me. Pick one item. Just try me. Fine. Wing back chair with a footstool.
Starting point is 00:32:15 Nice try. We don't sell that. Oh, my God. This is so dumb. How about coffee table? You guys sell those at IKEA? Coffee tables? Okay.
Starting point is 00:32:23 Yeah, I'm going to need the dimensions, though. It's a normal coffee table. I don't know the dimensions of your coffee table. Okay. I seem to make a big deal out of all this and how IKEA has a hold on everything. So are you saying half length of the sofa to two thirds or 14 to 18 clearance in terms of leg space underneath? I don't care. Any table.
Starting point is 00:32:46 This is your idea. Okay. Well, I have a side table called the Fajolabo with a glass top. And I could sell that to you for $50. That's the table that I'm selling. This is clearly a skit. Why are you trying to sell me the thing that I'm trying to sell? Okay, I'll throw $5 off, $45.
Starting point is 00:33:03 You must think I'm as stupid as you are. Well, your sister, Stephanie, said that you were the stupid one. It's not coming from me. Wait, what? Yeah, your sister, she listens to a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and they do these prank phone calls, like the one that we're doing on you right now. I know they're kind of dumb, but here we are. Unfee-believable.
Starting point is 00:33:26 Yeah, man. I'm sorry, dude. This is actually a phone tap. Your sister Stephanie set you up. She told us that you were going to be moving soon and you'd have to sell a lot of your stuff. She wanted us to mess with you about it. I'm sitting here thinking like, why the hell is IKEA calling you? Well, because the sweets take a lot of pride in their furniture.
Starting point is 00:33:45 You're besmudging their good name. You're not wrong about that. I do know that. Because I saw the photos that she sent us and yeah, it doesn't look like it's in perfect condition. Actually, you saw it? Yeah. Should I lower the price? It's not moving on me.
Starting point is 00:33:59 I've spent up for a couple weeks now. Well, you know, if you can't sell it, I would just go in for a one-for-one trade with my Fajalaba. Done. Deal is done. Handshake. Brook and Jeffrey's phone taps on the 20s. Brook and Jeffrey in the morning. Thanks to portrayals in the movies and media, a lot of guys assume that every woman in the world wants to be whined and dined and showered with gifts and treated with respect.
Starting point is 00:34:26 That sounds great, Jeff. Apparently, we've got it all wrong. No, wait, no you don't. Because the woman on the phone today was taken on one of the most mundane, least romantic dates we've ever heard of. It required zero planning, zero effort, costs the guy virtually nothing. And he can't even be bothered to follow up with her afterwards. Oh my gosh. And despite that, she can't stop thinking about him?
Starting point is 00:34:54 What? Is the bar this low, ladies? Gentlemen, I ask you, is this our sign that we are. are putting in way too much effort. That can't be not. That's only true. There's no way that can be true. We're going to find out when you hear your brand new second date update coming up.
Starting point is 00:35:10 Next. Broken Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. I know we've talked about this before where you may have a big plan for your first date, but plans change. And suddenly you're saying, oh, God, I didn't realize they remodeled this fancy steakhouse and turned it into a chucky cheese. and they got rid of the valet too.
Starting point is 00:35:32 Yikes. All those Chucky Cheese buildings definitely used to house fancy steakhouse. Right? At least they kept the ball pit from the steakhouse. Thank you. In my neighborhood, they did. And the entertainment.
Starting point is 00:35:43 Now you've got to adjust. And apparently one of our listeners had to adjust on the fly and deal with a change of plans for her date and she needs our help today. Her name is Aria. Aria, I'm assuming you didn't plan to call into a radio show
Starting point is 00:35:58 for help with your love life. either, but here you are. Welcome to the show. Thanks. Yeah, no, I did not. Okay. That's a good pivot. Can I ask before we get into it? Is it you that plan the date? No, I did not plan the date. Okay. Okay. Who planned it? Ryan, the guy went out with. All right. Where did you meet him at? So we actually met through church. We both volunteer. Like, when they have events, we help put out food and things like that. And obviously, we've seen each other around and finally he asked me out. Oh, finally. That means you were hoping for it for a long time. Volunteering for the same area. How did he do it? I mean, he just literally just
Starting point is 00:36:42 asked if I wanted to go on a date and I normally don't do this, but I did let him come pick me up at my place. Well, because you know him from church. I mean, yeah, you trust him a little more than Randolph. Hopefully you can trust him. Exactly. That's what I thought. So I invited him. him to come inside. When he picked you up, like right away? Yes. Because I was kind of frustrated at the time. I really like cooking.
Starting point is 00:37:09 And I have been searching for this ingredient called Aleppo. Aleppo. I don't know if you've heard of it, but it's like a special chili spice. Oh. Sounds like a drug. I know. It sounds like one of those late night infomercials. Like ask your doctor if Aleppo is right for you.
Starting point is 00:37:27 It kind of does. but I had been looking online and then trying to find if it was available at any stores, and I just wasn't having any luck. And it was for this slow cooker recipe I was trying to do for my family the next day. I wouldn't hear about the guy, no sense. You were scattered, long story, short. Unless Aleppo was like some sort of aphrodisiac before the date happens, but I don't know, maybe not. Not that I know of.
Starting point is 00:37:51 Oh, okay. Well, good to know. So you invited him in. Yeah. Yes. And he was being really sweet. any offer, he's like, well, let's go find it. He's like, I know some grocery stores in the area that has some cool stuff.
Starting point is 00:38:03 So he's like, let's go check them out. Yeah. So this must be the adjustment that you're talking about where you had something planned and suddenly you're going out to pick up spices. Yes. Okay. I thought it was really sweet. I mean, so we went to like three different grocery stores, but we finally ended up,
Starting point is 00:38:21 finding it at like a specialty fancy store. Okay. There we go. All right. Then did you finally get to go on your date? Well, so by this point, it was really late. So we just went back to my place and we did end up making out. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:38:39 So there was still romance, even though it was an errand run. Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, I felt a good connection. And we planned on definitely going on another date. It's wild that you can't get a hold of this guy. I mean, I assume that's why you're calling. us because you volunteer
Starting point is 00:38:57 with him at the same church. I just don't know what happened. You know, like, I'm assuming he had like a big plan for the night and it felt through, but I mean, he was being like the sweetest guy. Yeah. But he went on a second date. He doesn't have to like... But from the way that you're the way that you just said that, did you not
Starting point is 00:39:13 know what his plan was? I did not. That's the thing. Because there's a chance that maybe he had something really big plan, something really special. And he feels like he never got to do it. But I mean, I feel like he could have said that, you know, and I want a guy to put in that effort. Like, I want them to plan something special.
Starting point is 00:39:36 So, wait, are you disappointed that he offered to take you to all those grocery stores? I'm confused. I mean, did he, like, just take me there because he had nothing planned or I don't know? There could have been a guy with a violin, like, on a park waiting for you and you never got to get there. So since that happened, have you been communicating and trying to put together another date or what's happened there? Yeah, it just feels like every time we do, something's always coming up now. Another spice is missing and you have to do another run. Oh, man, there's my coriander.
Starting point is 00:40:13 So you are seeing him, though? No, I haven't seen him since. But you are trying to put something together. It's just never materializing into an actual meetup. Exactly. Exactly. So I don't know what's going on because I feel, I mean, I had a good time, even though I know we were just looking for spices. Okay. So you weren't disappointed that there wasn't a grander plan. I mean, if there was a grander plan, you know, I don't know that it existed because we never got to go out again.
Starting point is 00:40:42 So I'd like to see it. Okay. Yeah. I can't imagine what would be grander than a grocery store run to several different places around the city. But if he really does have something, mind, we'll find that out. We're going to call Ryan and try and get you your second date update, a little spice on top of it. I'm craving chili now. Yeah, I know. I think we're all hungry. We'll get this done right after this.
Starting point is 00:41:06 Hold on. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. Just quick recap, if you missed part one. Two people met at church. That would be our listener, Aria, and a guy named Ryan. He asked her out, but instead of doing their planned date for the night, whatever that was going to be. Instead, they went on a night-long grocery store run all over the city,
Starting point is 00:41:30 trying to find one particular spice to help Aria finish a family recipe. But you have to remember, it was his idea. It was his idea to help her out and go find this thing. Yeah. Absolutely. He was totally on board with that, but they never ended up going anywhere else, except for back to Arias for a little C&K, cooking and kissing. Did they cook ever? I was wondering about the food situation. Maybe he's not calling you back because he's hungry. She said it was like a slow cooker, so I was like they're not eating the chili tonight. Whatever ended up happening, that was the last time the two of them saw each other.
Starting point is 00:42:05 But we never asked how long ago was that date, Aria? That's the thing. It's been almost two weeks now. Oh, that's a while. Is it so awkward right now because you were volunteering with this guy? Yeah. And that's why I don't know. I'm weird about because I feel like it was a comfortable state.
Starting point is 00:42:27 Like, I mean, it was good conversation. It didn't feel awkward at all. It's one of those things, too, Aria, that, like, when you do just normal errands with someone and can still have chemistry, that means that there could really, truly be something there. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I thought. And, you know, and sometimes, like, it's timing and it's like, now I feel like we're losing that spark, I guess, that we have, you know?
Starting point is 00:42:52 It'd be such a shame to have so much potential cut down by a six-ounce jar of Aleppo. That just doesn't seem fair. I mean, yeah, that's what I want to know. I mean, it just was going so good, I thought. Well, let's find out. We'll see if Ryan picks up the phone. I'm going to dial his number right now. Hopefully he answers, but let's do it.
Starting point is 00:43:10 Hey, Ryan. Is this Ryan? Yeah, who is this? Hey, man. My name is Jeff from a show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Everybody's here. Hi. Hi.
Starting point is 00:43:28 From a show? Yeah. Radio show. Is this like a scam call? I've been getting a lot of those. We break those people. Yeah. We hate those too.
Starting point is 00:43:41 We hate those, Ryan. No, yeah. This is not a scam called. This is a segment called a second date update where we're trying to help out one of our listeners that you went out with about two weeks ago. A girl from your church named Aria. Wait, what? Yeah. Oh, a smile.
Starting point is 00:43:59 That's a cute. response? Why is she contacting you? We're still in touch. Like, we're texting. Yeah, she said that. We got that impression from her, but what she's not understanding is why the two of you haven't met up a second time in the last couple weeks. I mean, it's just like a scheduling thing. Like, it's not like I haven't talked to her, you know? Like, I don't know. You can't find time in the last two weeks to even just grab coffee with her? I, okay, I gotta be honest with y'all. I mean... Oh, I don't like that sentence.
Starting point is 00:44:35 I don't even know how to explain this. But I have this feeling that I just sort of can't shake. Okay. Can you take a pill for it or something? Can you shake it with that? A little leppo? We're joking. We're joking.
Starting point is 00:44:49 What's up? Well, this isn't a sound ridiculous, but I think maybe... I feel kind of like I love her already. What the heck? Dude, I did not think you were going to say those words. I mean, I will say you know her more than just one date because you guys have been volunteering together. So I don't think that that is totally insane.
Starting point is 00:45:15 But wait, why wouldn't you call her back? She thinks she don't like her and you love her? Well, I don't know. I feel like if we go on a normal date, it's just going to feel different. What do you mean? What's going to feel different? I'm just nervous that if we like go to dinner, or drinks, just going to feel different.
Starting point is 00:45:32 Like, we did such a boring kind of thing. Like, I just want to go to the post office. I don't know. Okay. You're done with all the romantic aspects already. You want to dive right into, like, boring chores, mundane, forever love life together. I mean, I'm not saying forever,
Starting point is 00:45:50 but I'm just feeling kind of stuck. And, I mean, it's funny that you call because I think about her all the time. What are you doing? You need to take her out. Get your girl, bro. I mean, if chores are fun with her, then imagine what a great night out is with her. Like, that will just only amplify the good.
Starting point is 00:46:10 Yeah. I don't know. I just feel like I might mess that up. Like, we have like this volunteering thing coming up, and I kind of think we should just do that. Oh, God. Oh. You're going to friends on her because it's going too well. Listen to yourself.
Starting point is 00:46:25 I don't want a friend zone her. I want more. But I think this might be the path to get there. I think the path of you're on will be the same, not more. It'll be the same. Church volunteer buddy, Pat. Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of stuff running through my head. Like, I feel like I'm in paralysis, and I don't know what to do about it.
Starting point is 00:46:42 Okay. Well, you know, I think you don't have to do anything right now. You could just stay paralyzed for the moment and let Aria do all the talking because she's on the other line waiting to jump in and speak with you. Yeah. She's here? Yeah, right here right now. Oh, no. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:47:00 Probably for the best. I don't know. You might have some nice thoughts to say to you. That's a lot of information, though, for Aria. Ariya, are you there? Yeah, I'm here. I'm trying to take everything in. Look, I didn't know you were listening to all that, so I take it back.
Starting point is 00:47:17 I take a lot of it back. Oh, bro, don't take it back. Just forget the last five minutes of your life. I don't think you can take that back, Ryan. Do you want him to take it back, or did you like hearing that? I like hearing that, but I'm also concerned because I want that romance. I want that planned special date. And I did have fun, like I told them, I really did have fun just going grocery shopping with you.
Starting point is 00:47:48 Absolutely. But there's got to be more to it. So you want me to move in or something? What? Is that what you heard, Brian? I think that's a joke. You're joking. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:48:03 I'm just, I'm spitballing here. I'm, I'm, this is stressful. I mean, have you ever, like, planned a date before? I mean, just something like, I'm just asking for some kind of thought. Yeah. I mean, I planned one with you, but we went to the grocery store, and then that was way better than anything I came up with. Oh. Wait, what was your plan for the night?
Starting point is 00:48:26 We don't know that it was better or worse. We were just going to go to dinner and drinks, you know, the normal stuff. Oh, that's a nice day. No, you're right. Grocery store shopping's better. I mean, I feel like that was what the magic. The spice was, so to speak. Aren't you listening to her and hearing what she needs, though, too?
Starting point is 00:48:44 Like, she needs to feel special and taking care of. That's what I was trying to do. She needed a spice, and I was trying to help her find it. Yeah. He wants to make her feel special by, like, taking her to the pharmacy. to pick up her medication and helping her, you know, organize her junk drawer in her cabinet. Those things are great. I think that any person would appreciate that, right?
Starting point is 00:49:07 Everybody needs Aaron, buddy. Yes. But I think that she needs, she's saying, and I could be wrong, Are you need a little bit more. Yeah, I think the difference is like the love language here. You know, like I need that quality time, that special time, and he just kind of just wants to, like, do the practical help, and that just doesn't reach me as much. Okay.
Starting point is 00:49:31 Okay. That is a very clear message. Yes. Ryan, are you hearing her? Yeah, Ariya, I am hearing you, and I hear that you don't want me to help you anymore, and that's fine. That's not what she said.
Starting point is 00:49:44 I don't think anybody heard that, but you, bro. How could she have communicated that more clearly? My ears are flogged with love. Okay. Well, God. I mean, he didn't think he was moving in one minute, I go. Again, I think there's an ointment for that you put in your ear. But, I mean, I think you guys should probably talk about it together when you're on a date.
Starting point is 00:50:04 Oh, are we going to pay for half their dry cleaning or pay for dinner? What are we doing? Really up to them. Maybe we can go to dinner and I'll bring my taxes and you can bring your taxes and we'll do those. Could there be a less sexy sentence? I mean, seriously. Well, normally here we'd be asking Ryan if he'd want to go out. but it sounds like Aria, he's fully invested.
Starting point is 00:50:28 He's already dropped the L bomb for God's six. He's clocked with love. He's laid it down pretty hard. Aria, do you want to go on a date with Ryan? And if you do, we can pay for that date. I just feel like he's already halfway to the practical side. And that worries me. But I'm willing to give it a shot.
Starting point is 00:50:50 Okay. All right. Maybe you can learn to love practical. Sounds hot. All right, Ryan, she has officially said yes, kind of. Yay, we'll take it. So maybe bring a little bit of romance with you on your tax dinner date, maybe some flowers. I will pack some romance in my pockets.
Starting point is 00:51:11 Okay. That's why you keep your romance. Is that what's in your right pocket? Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. I've been thinking we should advise more first daters to say I love you. you right out the gate. Oh my gosh. As soon as you meet up at the restaurant,
Starting point is 00:51:29 hug them and whisper, I love you, so that you get all that awkwardness out of the way. And it doesn't happen in the middle of our second date calls, because that made us uncomfortable. And that's not fair to us. She definitely didn't say it back. No, she didn't.
Starting point is 00:51:42 She didn't know what to say when that came out, and that just made it awkward for everybody. Even the people listening felt cringe. Yeah. I mean, it may work out, though, in the end. It's always nice to be with someone that loves you more than you like them, I guess. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:51:58 I feel like, you know, they won't leave you. I appreciate your hopeless optimism. I'm trying to spin it in a good way. It is going to be tough for him to come back from. But who knows? Maybe miracles will happen. You know, she's looking at a clock that she's worried about. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:15 We're hoping that by the end of the year, her ears are clogged with love to. And they finish their taxes together. Yes. All good things. and we want good things for you and your love life. Reach out to the show. We can call that person who's not calling you back. And it's also good if you subscribe to our podcast.
Starting point is 00:52:31 If you're listening to us on it right now, Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. We reported on this a couple years ago when it first began. Now it's becoming kind of a bigger deal. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. That's because of us. We talked about it. Is that why?
Starting point is 00:52:49 That goes without saying. I don't know if anybody remembers this. I'll show you guys a picture here. And it'll be up on our Insta Stories at Brooke and Jeffrey. But Grillo's Pickles just dropped their annual pickle bouquets for Valentine's Day. It's cute or their pickles. Cuter than ever, little pickled peppers in there, too. I know.
Starting point is 00:53:08 A little pickled thing. It's very juicy bouquet. It is a DIY bouquet where instead of giving your special someone a beautiful floral presentation, this has got a bunch of different pickles on sticks to make a giant pickle. bouquet with cherry tomatoes and mozzarella balls and cucumbers all sorts of goodies in there. It looks great. Food bouquets just make more sense.
Starting point is 00:53:31 They attach a QR code with a video that shows you how to put it all together and make it pretty. The whole thing only costs $35. Oh, you have to assemble it? Never mind, I'm late. You know most men will just give it to women and be like, here, you're supposed to put it together.
Starting point is 00:53:48 It's a fun activity. Or does pop a jar open and start eating all the pickles? But do it in the other room because I'm watching the game Initially, Grillo said this is kind of a quirky gag gift for people who prefer brine over bouquets, but they didn't realize how popular it would be. Seriously, like when the pickle sandwiches took over. Way to a woman's heart, man. And that's why this year, there were enough people who love pickles where once it dropped online, it sold out instantly. That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:54:17 Is it expensive? You can go get your own skewers and pickles, guys. You don't have to buy them. But that doesn't come with a QR video showing you how to do it. Which I'm sure you couldn't find with a quick YouTube search. Apparently a lot of people are upset because if you go to the website, you can't even click the order button. It just says completely sold out better luck next year. But that's what we do for our listeners.
Starting point is 00:54:43 Give you the news that's just a little bit too late. So Valentine's pickle bouquets already completely sold out. Sorry if you wanted them. should have got to it sooner. Yeah, good luck next year. You are welcome. Laser stories coming up. Next.
Starting point is 00:55:03 It's the radio segment that's helping men feel even more masculine with new chest hair extensions. Oh. Now available in small, medium, or horse tail length. Oh, I want a braided. Order your chest air extensions now with laser stories. The segment where we read weird news stories
Starting point is 00:55:22 from around the globe, just like everyone else does, except we've got a laser. Those other follicle fabios just don't. This first laser story is out of Canapolis, North Carolina. It sounds like you just mispronounce something. There's a K in it, Canapolis. A 20-year-old guy named Jasper Rispin, and a 19-year-old named to Mario Davis
Starting point is 00:55:41 broke into a rent-a-center around 2 a.m. the other day. Yeah, nobody got time for that. Maybe they just had a big party, and they didn't have enough tables and chairs. Yeah, not quite. Once inside. They were like, we're just renting. We'll be right back. No, they walked around looking for things to steal, but could only find a single TV. Go!
Starting point is 00:56:01 Wow, that's a busy rena center. Doesn't feel worth it, does it? The cops got there as they were loading it into a trunk. And then the pair realized they might get caught. So they jumped into separate cars and tried to speed away. Only they crashed into each other in the parking lot. This is like the end of a cartoon heist. Surprisingly, they weren't done yet.
Starting point is 00:56:26 Oh. The two quickly backed up, drove out of the parking lot, going the wrong way down a one-way street, and both got into separate accidents. Yes, they crashed again. Okay. Did an anvil fall out of the sky and land on any of them? It would have been next,
Starting point is 00:56:42 but it was enough for the cops to catch up with them and arrest the pair. Wow, for one TV. Two cars and get arrested. One TV and like three car wrecks. Yes. They are now both facing. several charges, but thankfully the TV remained unharmed
Starting point is 00:56:57 and was put back in the rent-a-center without incident. Nothing happened. Do you think there's a conversation when you break into a place and it's empty and you're like, well, we're here. We might as well take something. Why didn't you scout the place first? I told you to do that. This next laser story
Starting point is 00:57:13 is out of the bowls that are super. Oh, wait a minute. Got around it. I have a feeling this isn't about cooking. Sure, there's a big football game coming this weekend. But what everyone is most excited about is what they're going to shove into their mouth holes. Yeah. Oh, no, no, num, no. So somebody give me suggestions here. I have tried to subtly ask what's on the
Starting point is 00:57:38 menu to my best friend and his wife, but they won't tell me. I bet if we listen to Jeff's report, we may learn something. Instacart just released every state's favorite game day snack. And we do have some of the results here. Caso led in the West with Washington, Oregon, and Idaho all ordering it the most. Pramey. Swiming in it. Tortia chips were the number one pick for more states than any other snack food. They held down Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, Louisiana, Vermont, and West Virginia. That's why these states got to get along so the queso and the chips can go together. But what are you dipping it in? Well, it's just their number one.
Starting point is 00:58:14 I don't know. Dry chip. Could hit hard. New Mexico, Colorado, and Texas joined with almost all the southern states to share a love of processed cheese like velvita. Oh, that's, I love that kind. Yeah, when you put it with a can of chili. Yeah, I thought that was my mom's secret recipe for so long. Chicken wings ruled Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Nevada, and Utah. And then things do get a little bit weird. California and Arizona order French onion dip.
Starting point is 00:58:44 Okay. As their main game day. I don't know, but I can smell their breath from here. Oh, I mean, it's good. With, like, lays chips. I mean, with the au jus, it is fire. I don't care how it comes. It's a weird game day food.
Starting point is 00:58:56 Okay. South Dakota and Arkansas get down on canned diced tomatoes. Weird. Hey, pass those tomatoes over here. Do you think you put a spoon in them and just eat them or just dump them straight in your mouth? I just old tomatoes. Pass the can around to other people. I mean, salsa may be more on par.
Starting point is 00:59:15 No, was that the fresh stuff? No, give me the canned goodness. and Iowa was the only state where beef sausage was the number one snack food for the big game. It sounds delicious. Sounds manly is what it sounds like. Let's smoke some. Text in 78592. Tell us what's your number one order for game day food.
Starting point is 00:59:35 This next laser story is out of Japan. You ever get chills or goosebumps listening to music? Yes. Scientists just zeroed in on how to make it happen. A team of researchers They came up with a new type of headphone that tracks your brain waves and learns what gives you goosebumps
Starting point is 00:59:56 and then AI will build a playlist based on your results Whoa! A whole playlist worth of goosebumps sounds terrible. I feel like it's going to be bawling at the end of it. AI decides if you're truly enjoying a song or if you're just listening to it casually.
Starting point is 01:00:12 Does the AI also shame you for bad music choice? Like, oh, this is what you like? God. Once it learns what works, it pulls from thousands of artists to build you the perfect goose bump heavy playlist. And I'm sure record companies won't be paying for them to push certain artists into your playlist. So they're still in the testing phase, but the big question remains, who actually wants a playlist of creepy, spine-tingling music?
Starting point is 01:00:36 And why are they spending millions of dollars to find out? Yeah. That's the cool part. It's like it happens randomly. It's not every freaking second. I don't know. Japan, you did something wrong. I'm just going to say it.
Starting point is 01:00:48 advance. This final laser story is out of Fast Food Headquarters. Yay, now we're talking. Here's your chance to hit McDonald's for Valentine's Day and claim that it's fancy. Really? Because McDees just announced a new limited run of McNugget Caviar.
Starting point is 01:01:04 Yeah. Caviar? Is that raw nuggets? They're giving it away in tins next week at their website, McNuggettcaviar.com. Oh, me. This looks like real caviar. on top of a McNugget. That's exactly what it is.
Starting point is 01:01:21 Oh, I thought it was just like a play on the word, you know? Yeah, it's legit. No, it's the real stuff. So if you don't normally like fish eggs, you're probably not going to like this. The marketing representatives say it is just normal caviar, but they put it in a McNugget branded tin. Okay. If you think like the fish filet is weird,
Starting point is 01:01:40 having Mick Caviar would be a little extreme. How much are you, did they say how much this is? They don't put the price. But they do claim the. Of course they don't. Salty, savory taste makes it a great dipping sauce. Wow. I mean, caviar is good, but I don't know.
Starting point is 01:01:54 That is the wrong crowd. Yeah. McDonald's is a wrong crowd for this. Give me queso McNuggets. Yeah, let's get the fake cheese going. Well, they're not pulling the idea out of nowhere. It blew up back in 2024 after a video went viral of Rihanna trying this exact thing. She seemed to really like it.
Starting point is 01:02:11 I could see her doing this. She's a billionaire. Yeah, at the end of the day, like. Probably a little higher quality caviote in what they're using. But Will McCampiard. Have you are become a huge thing? I certainly hope so. Oh, do you?
Starting point is 01:02:22 Of course. And so does this little guy. He's used to getting his face full of tuna every day. So why not try it at McDonald's, am I right? It's what turtles eat. They're tuna eaters. The girls refuse to make a sad. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:02:38 It's just you and me here. All right. Well, you know, everybody's going to hate, but that's how it means laser stories has come to an end for the day. We'll do it again. Same time on Friday. We've got a new player to the show. Her name is Letitia.
