Hey, welcome to the full show.
And today's a little extra bonus because we added an extra segment.
Yeah.
Wow.
So you're going to get an extra few minutes in here, whether you like it or not.
Yeah, we got a riffing around Valentine's Day edition coming up.
Jeff's song of the week, which is all about being the third wheel.
And Jose was down in the masses of the super, wait, super what?
Big Game Parade.
The Victory Parade.
Yeah, watch that.
Caught myself.
And it was incredible.
You got to hear the audio.
It's all about to start.
but first comment.
Yeah, A.V. said, I love y'all, and I make my niece listen with me.
She's eight months old.
Got to start him young.
Is that when she's in trouble?
I imagine she's just screaming the whole time of line.
All right.
There it is.
Your full show starts right now.
We've talked about this before, how Americans this year are more unprepared for Valentine's Day than ever before.
It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
It kind of crept up on us this year.
Yeah, and it's not just about planning where to go or what to wear or who to invite to be your third,
but also what to eat because the types of food that you choose to ingest could make or break the romance that night.
Oh, that is a good point.
Everyone is always like Italian, so romantic.
I'm like, hoof, but it is.
Hey, baby, you want to go to this chili cook-off?
It's so heavy.
Right, so I'm going to give you some options.
I'll say them one at a time
and I just need from the room a yay,
nay or hey neighbor.
Okay.
Hey neighbor's the best.
Yay is the middle.
Nay is the lowest.
What is obvious?
Duff.
Why do we didn't have to explain that?
I apologize.
That was dumb of me.
So we're going to start off slow with
Pizza Hut's heart-shaped pizza.
Yay, nay, or hey neighbor?
Hey neighbor.
Really?
I'm going to say if it's for kids,
sure, but Brooke, no.
A romantic partner?
No.
Pizza?
I think it's cute, but it's not romantic.
Pizza?
Yeah, you wouldn't split a heart-shaped pizza with your husband?
He'd eat it all.
Oh, okay.
There'd be nothing left for me.
Okay.
You'd steal your heart, you mean?
Off to a rough start with this, I guess.
And then we've got from Applebee's $6-Mucho-Smucho Sip's menu,
a $6-dollar tipsy cupid, which is spiked lemonade with Smyrnav vodka,
orange liqueur, strawberry.
and something called gummy lips floating in the drink.
Is that a yay-nay or hey neighbor?
What do you think of the mucho-smooch?
I was going to go yay, but then I heard about the gummy lips.
So, hey, neighbor.
There you go.
Also, we've got Dairy Queen's Red Velvet Blizzard,
one cup, two straws.
Yay, nay, or hey-never.
Dude, you cannot eat those with straws, Jeff.
It's a buzzer.
It's just for the title, bro.
Just the faces that you make,
as you're both sucking super hard at the same time.
And finally, Waffle House.
They're doing Valentine's heart-shaped waffles,
but it's the only day of the year you actually need to make a reservation to get one.
Yay, nay, or hey neighbor?
Hey, neighbor.
That was good, because then you can fight somebody after and defend her honor.
Oh, I like that.
Yeah, yeah, right.
Very sexy.
So now you've got some Valentine's food options for you.
You can go split one of those with your special someone.
Now on to the shot collar question of the day with our show's special someone.
His name is Jake.
Oh.
Hi, everyone.
Hi, Jay.
It's nearly Cupid's birthday.
And did you know, 31% of people will be buying their Valentine's Day gifts at discount stores?
Hey.
Good for you.
Yeah, that's my dad.
Also, $9.4 billion will be spent this year on unwanted gifts.
Oh.
Oh, that's sad to think about it.
Well, that's why it's good that you got a discount on it because I pay full price.
or something so nobody wants.
And over a million people on Facebook will change their relationship status on Valentine's Day.
Oh, wow, making it official.
Maybe my husband will finally admit he's married.
We say it's complicated between you two.
Obviously, I know my numbers, but do you know yours?
Today we'll find out as we play a special Valentine's by the numbers edition of
Plenty of 20.
You'll say number 1 through 20.
I'll quiz you on a Valentine's Day statistic.
It could be people, could be purchases, percentages, dollar amounts.
You just have to answer correctly to stay in the game.
Let's start with the woman whose magic number is four
when she counts the McNuggets in her happy meal.
That's Alexis.
I get a six-piece, Jake.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'll adjust my records.
Of the people who plan to celebrate valentines this year, Alexis,
what percentage of celebrators plan
to buy candy above or below 50%.
Candy is just so good, not even just
together, but friends.
Like I bought candy to give my room.
Ashley gave us candy last year.
Candy is so easy.
Oh, in school they buy candy.
I forgot.
Oh, okay, yep, I'm saying over 50.
She's right.
Yeah.
I mean, you could have candy to give to people,
but it's always nice to give them the fresh batch if you want.
Brooke, Rover, you too, is off the board.
Give me 14.
How many marriage proposals happen
on V-Day in the United States every year.
Is it above or below 50,000 couples?
How many couples are in the United States?
I've seen like five listeners comment their anniversary is on Valentine's Day.
Okay, so five out of the ten people listening, that's 50%.
That's very high.
That's only the people who said yes.
I still think it's so cliche to do it on Valentine's Day.
Ouch.
Oh, sorry.
Okay.
So our five listeners, sorry.
It's all right to be cliche.
I mean, yeah, what are they going to do with the heart-shaped pizza?
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
I think it's unique.
So then I'm going to say less because it's so unique.
I'm sorry, Brooke, it's above 87,000 couples per year
get proposed to on Valentine's Day.
It's like, next thing you know, we were going to celebrate Christmas on Christmas.
Jose, we're over to you.
Two and 14 are off the board.
Let's go seven.
I'm going to tell you the three least desired gifts from women.
And you have to put them in order as the absolute worst to make.
Fine, I'll take it.
Oh, no.
Here they are.
A love coupon book.
A coupon book.
Furry handcuffs.
And being serenated.
Oh.
What do you think is the worst there?
I mean, okay, it takes a certain type of woman to want to be serenated.
Is that the most cringe, I think?
No, I hate coupon books, too.
I'm going to put coupon book, laugh.
Because who actually uses the coupon books?
Exactly.
It's the laziest present there is.
I think handcuffs would definitely be the best gift.
Me too.
Even if you're not into the fuzzy part,
at least you can lock your significant other somewhere and they can't get away.
See, that's a red flag for me.
I would put that on the opposite side.
Oh.
Okay, well, because of the consensus in the room,
the worst is the coupon book.
Okay.
The second worst is being serenated,
and the best is the furry handcuffs.
I'm sorry, Jose.
The serenating wasn't last.
handcuffs was 34% of ladies said no way to the handcuffs.
Oh, really?
18% said no to the love coupon book.
And 14% said they would not want to be serenaded on Valentine's.
But that was the worst. I'm with you, Jose.
I would have taken the handcuffs.
Everyone knows 2026 is all about zip ties.
Jeffrey, over to you, 27, and 14 are off the board.
Recyclable.
Eight.
Number eight.
What percentage of marriages now begin online through a dating app?
Is it above or below?
70%.
This is going to be high, Jeff.
Seven out of 10 marriages today started by meeting online or through an app.
I mean, it's like 100% when you're talking about like prison match.com.
So you have to like factor that in.
I have a friend who's messing one in person.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't even know.
I always hear nowadays that everybody is afraid to approach in person.
Nobody gets hit on and like any more.
Anytime anywhere.
Like ever.
So I think, shockingly, it's going to be above 70%.
Higher?
Oh.
It's not, Jeffrey.
It is a high number.
It's 60% of people.
Oh, it's getting there.
Marriages begin online through a dating app.
And that means Alexis is the only one to get one right and has won today's plenty of 20.
Who would have thought Alexis is the best at relationships in the entire room.
So she gets to choose who gets shocked.
They're going to be singing kiss from a row.
by seal. I mean, Jose seemed to do the serenating, so...
Oh, yeah, I did like that.
This is my moment.
All the ladies that want this, text in, I wanted this.
And baby, I compare you to a kiss from rose on the gray.
Ooh!
Right on the, ooh.
I will say if men started serenaded while wearing shot collars.
Okay, there we go.
It's your shot collar question of the day.
We got your phone tap coming up in just a few minutes.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Brooke, are you down for a Valentine's Day Quicky?
Yes!
Yes! Yes!
It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
And by Quicky, I mean a quick rundown of Valentine's Day things in the news.
That's all I thought you meant the whole time.
Obviously, because there's a new dating app called Dead Meat.
And it's not an app for hooking up ghosts.
It's a place where people who work in the post-mortem industry can match.
I thought I was getting left over beat.
from somebody.
Oh my God,
that's actually probably
needed for them.
Yeah,
that's a different dating
site.
So this is for
embalmers,
crematorium texts,
taxidermis,
your weird neighbor
who collects dead birds,
anybody who's been
in contact
with a cold body
in the past 48 hours,
this is the app
for you.
Yeah.
It's getting cold in here.
Oh, yeah.
I like the morbid name
for it too.
Next up in
Quicky News.
Yes!
Yes!
Researchers say there's
evidence that mouth-to-mouth kissing is
more than 5,000 years old.
Wow.
One of the first people figure it out.
I don't know, but they're probably really shunned.
Yeah.
Everybody else in the village was like,
what the heck are they doing?
They just touched faces.
Okay.
Wiches!
They're like, don't shame them, guys.
Don't shame them.
Apparently they found some old clay tablets
in Mesopotamia depicting
that type of romantic behavior.
Oh, so it was like the first, like,
naughty literature, too.
Yeah.
They definitely got a hug wrong.
The archaeologist was inside that cave for a very, very long time.
Studying the photo would not let anybody else enter.
It's not a quick thing to, like, chisel stone.
It had to be really good.
The hieroglyphic took a while.
Also in quickie news, so-called candy salads for Valentine's Day are going viral on TikTok.
They're basically a modern spin on grandma's old candy dish,
where you just put everything into one giant bowl.
Oh my gosh.
Nerds, Reese's cups, individual sticks of gum.
You just mix it all up with the spatula.
No gum.
Editor actually made Alexis and I a candy salad last year.
So cute.
Not a loose gum for me.
Yeah, exactly.
Brooke, you need to post your recipe for homemade candy salad up on our site.
It includes a can of oysters.
Oh, don't give it all the way.
So those were your Valentine's Day quickies.
You are welcome, Brooke.
May not have been what you're hoping for.
I liked it.
It got the job done.
Laser stories coming up next.
It's the radio segment that's launching a new cereal,
taking the idea from Lucky Charms, just marshmallows,
to create raisin brand only raisins.
Wait, that's just raisins and milk.
Maybe with sugar on them.
Nothing like a big bowl of dehydrated grapes
to kickstart your morning and your colon with laser stories.
The segment where we read weird news stories around the globe,
just like everyone else does,
we've got a laser.
Those other brand busters just don't.
This first laser story is out of Sacramento, California.
This has to be up there on the list of riskiest things to steal.
Because a 47-year-old guy named Leonid Terzi was accused of stealing beehives.
Dumbus?
What? Who would steal a beehive?
I mean, if you really want some good, honey.
If you want to get stung a thousand times.
And I'm talking about the kind in boxes, not on trees.
Oh, like the professional ones.
That's what I was thinking.
Oh, my bad.
I thought someone's climbing up a tree in the park.
And they're like, hey, hey, that's part property.
That's the city's bees.
No, he's not crazy.
Anyway, it all began when cops got a report the other day about some bee boxes that showed up on a piece of property in Yolo County.
Yeah.
Real place.
It's so rad.
They noticed some markings on the boxes had to be altered to hide the fact that they were stolen.
So the police department set up a sting.
operation.
I know.
I didn't want to do it, but I got over.
But you did.
Don't even lie.
Okay.
Believe me.
Yeah.
Trust me.
Okay.
I'll stop Paul in your leg.
Officers staked out the spot and arrested the guy when he showed up.
There's a photo of him in handcuffs still wearing his beekeeping outfit.
Wow.
Who knew beekeepers could be so edgy?
Cool.
He's a bad boy beekeeper.
Yeah.
No mask on, just the onesie.
Oh.
No word on why he's.
stole the hives, but authorities believe he had a plan, because right now, farms pay a lot of
money to have those hives brought in whenever their crops need pollinating. So he probably
saw this as a business opportunity. Well, if he has a queen, he just needs the bees and they'll
immediately... He could just start his own. Like, it's just a couple boxes of bees. Like, yeah?
He found a better way, bro. Yeah. Sorry. Yes. This next laser story is out of Waco, Texas.
A woman was walking her dog in her suburban neighborhood when she saw an
Amazon driver veer off the road, hop the curb, and smash right into her mailbox, then drive off.
I was thinking it was like a medical emergency or something, but they left.
Sped away, so she chased him down the street.
A few blocks later, the guy pulled over.
And witnesses saw him stumbling out the driver's side door, then trying to shove empty
buzz balls down a storm drain to get rid of the evidence.
Here's a photo of buzzball.
If you've never seen them, they're those ball-shaped cocktail drinks that liquor stores sell.
They're really colorful. So basically, the guy was delivering packages while driving around drunk.
Ain't nobody got time for that?
Not good, my man.
Cops showed up and gave him a sobriety test, which he promptly failed.
So they took him straight to jail.
If only those buzz balls would have been smaller, then they could have fit him down the storm drain.
And nobody would have known.
Never.
Like most, he didn't work directly for Amazon.
He's an independent.
dependent contractor.
Either way, the company fired him and Venmoed the couple money for their mailbox,
so it is being replaced.
Oh, wow.
Happy.
Venmo, you like that?
Let's go to your next laser story out of Trendtown.
The great thing about social media is you never know when a trend or product is going to go
viral for whatever reason.
Yes.
Take Ace Hardware, for example.
They're going viral?
It's a little bit of a smaller home improvement store, but it has a growing reputation.
on TikTok, not for being
the place with the helpful hardware folks,
but for being the place with
bomb frozen pies.
Double rainbow. Oh my God.
Oh, my gosh. Our hardware
store, like, is a true value one.
They have really good candy selection.
Like, imported, beautiful candy.
Stop trying to take the lime light away from Ace.
No, I'm just saying.
This is about Ace Hardware.
Every time I go... Every time I go into the small hardware store,
I'm like, oh, they have that. Interesting.
Awesome. We're going to cut that part out.
So if you've been to an ace out west recently, you may have seen a freezer case filled with take-and-bake frozen pies.
Okay, who's making them?
So random.
Taking make like the kind you bring home and cook yourself in the oven.
Tasty.
Well, thanks to TikTok, they've become a viral sensation with more than 20 different flavors,
including Boisenberry, rhubarb, peach, and blueberry.
Ooh, yeah.
That's delicious.
We've got to find us some ace pies.
And one recent video has more than 3 million views on it.
Ace says it started selling the pies where the pie company is based out of.
Oh, cool.
And word spread quickly from there and more and more locations started stocking them.
But only in California, Nevada for now.
Oh.
Dang it.
By the way, they're around $19 each.
So.
Better be good then.
Yeah.
Quality ingredients inside the pies.
That is a pricey pie.
Yeah.
You mean, when there's hot pie news, we're going to be.
going to cover it on this show. Absolutely.
Let's go to your final laser story out of V-Day Me Day headquarters.
Guys, we're in trouble because according to a new report, Americans now spend $189 on an average date.
I mean, that covers two drinks at a trendy bar, right?
It feels like it.
It's a 13% increase from just last year.
And it includes dinner and drinks.
plus an activity, like seeing a movie or hitting up top golf.
Four!
So the average American spent more than $2,300 on dates in the past year.
That doesn't include the babysitter cost.
Oh, yeah.
This is mostly like single people.
And not surprisingly, that hits younger adults the hardest.
The ones are actively going out for dates and looking to have fun and make a good impression.
You like me right now.
You like me.
She sounded young.
Yeah.
She had to pay for it.
So with that information, will that impact Valentine's Day plans for this year?
Apparently not.
Really?
Many restaurants are completely booked for the night,
and people say they plan to pay an average of $252 for an evening of dinner, drinks, and naughty hijinks.
I will say, I was on a fancy steakhouse recently,
and they literally said the Wag U8-5 went up in price because of the tariffs.
We're like, oh, that's going to be fun.
I'm hoping your naughty hijinks are free, though.
I mean, you included that in the price, and I'm concerned about that.
Because it depends on exactly what your plan is, sure.
But dinner drinks and naughty hijinks is definitely the plan for this guy.
Well, kind of.
Dinner drinks and naughty high tops.
But that could be hijinks if he plays this card right.
That's how many plays the stories has come to an end for the day.
We'll do it again.
same time on Monday.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Two days ago, I had to file a complaint with DoorDash.
What?
Because my lunch took over 14 hours to reach me.
Oh, my God.
Where'd you get at our state?
14 hours.
It wasn't because the restaurant caught fire,
or that Alexis was my delivery driver.
Oh, yeah, that would do it.
Shopping stop.
It's because millions flooded our city streets
to catch the Seattle Seahawks,
marching through downtown,
to celebrate their recent World Championship.
Okay, let's go.
I mean, and I also hope your lunch was still warm.
It wasn't.
I didn't even care that it was cold, though.
This was worth it.
Just one guy in a scooter with a delivery box behind the parade?
That's why we sent Jose Bolognaz into the madness with a microphone
to ask the fans what you're doing at the Seahawks Victory Parade.
We're going to play the audio right after this.
I've only got two words for you, world champions.
Yeah.
Let's go.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning,
because the other day, it was estimated
one million people swarm the streets of downtown Seattle
to celebrate the Seahawks winning their second Super Bowl
with a massive parade.
And if the school emails me one more time,
it was totally a family event that my kids were out for.
100%.
I mean, the last time the city got this riled up was 12 years ago,
when Brooke gave Burrower.
to her first child and the paternity test was inconclusive.
It's all of our babies. Jeff, there was no test.
Exactly, that's why we don't know. But Wednesday was even crazier.
Maybe it saw the pics online or the videos on TikTok, but if you weren't there,
I don't think you could really understand what it was truly like, unless you had a friend
with a microphone whose name is Jose Bolognios. That's me. Because we sent him
knee deep into the sea of blue and green to ask these football fanatics a simple question.
What's you doing at the Seahawks Victory Parade?
What's you doing at the Seahawks Victory Parade?
I'm definitely, my friends are coming.
I'm really excited we're going to celebrate with them from school.
I get to skip school today to go to this, so I really got to cherish this today.
Whoa, and I'm assuming this is your mother?
Oh, no.
We just met.
We're just friends.
Yeah.
I was like sister maybe.
I didn't know.
No, no, no. You have no supervision.
No.
Wow.
So cute.
No supervision.
It's like any kid can do whatever they want.
So you interviewed a random minor who had skits school was hanging out with some random woman.
His parents are nowhere in sight and you're like, awesome, bro.
Yeah, it's a victory parade.
If there is a lost child in a mall and he was like, help, I don't know where I am, you'd be like, sweet, dude.
At least a stranger looked caring.
She seemed like the mother.
Yeah, I mean, preteens could be doing a lot worse.
Yeah.
This is also.
Didn't he say he was nine?
He was nine.
Oh, he was that young?
Yeah.
Oh.
Good for him.
Oh, my God.
He can handle the big city.
That's a big difference now.
I can't imagine.
That kid's going places.
What you're doing at the Seahawks Victory Parade?
Well, shit, I'm at home right now, so I'm at, yeah, I'm in my front yard.
You're vibing, bro.
What are you doing just posting up out here?
Oh, man, it's parking lot pimping, man.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm out here.
was what?
Who's who?
And, you know, all these beautiful
women out here,
it's definitely beautiful women
out this motherfucker.
Okay, so let's get a scenario.
Beautiful women walk by.
What's the approach?
What do you say?
I ain't approaching their ass.
I'm just chilling.
Is that kind of like how I saw you
and gravitated towards you?
Absolutely, bro.
Man, look at that.
Now, look at this one.
My God, damn.
We got a beautiful woman walking by.
What thoughts are going through your head?
Man, is that her boyfriend or her brother?
Oh, they do kind of looking like.
That could be the brother.
Damn, she's fine.
I appreciate his respect.
He comments, but doesn't approach.
And the refrain of both of you not to cat call.
I mean, honestly, we've come so far.
Any way that we could get the parking lot pimp to do more of these interviews.
Could you imagine Jose and PLP hitting the streets questioning honeies all over Seattle?
I love that.
If this woman ever heard this segment right now, she'd feel so flattered.
Shout out to you, random woman at the parade.
I know where he lives.
I can go back to my time there.
I want some compliments.
I'll walk by on the time.
It's what you're doing at the Seahawks victory parade where Jose braved the crowd of millions to ask the fans a simple question.
What you're doing at the Seahawks Victory Parade?
Celebrating with the team.
I see that.
You got a Super Bowl champion shirt on already.
The jersey under it, yeah.
It just happened like two days ago, bro.
How'd you get a shirt already?
They were selling it, the street vendors.
Okay.
I've been here since 5 a.m.
Oh, you've been here since 5 a.m.
Yeah, yeah.
You set up next to the hot dog stand.
You're smart.
I'm glad they set up here.
Okay, cool.
So now you've got food, there's water?
Yeah, there's glizzies, there's toppings, there's everything, yeah.
What else do you need?
Alexis.
Oh, Alexis from our show?
Yeah.
Please tell me that's not your girlfriend holding your hot dog.
No, no, no, no, no.
Girl holding your hot dog right now.
Wait, that came out kind of weird.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I thought he was gonna say a bathroom, but.
Yeah.
Look at that, Alexis.
You didn't even go down there.
Still, people are talking about you.
Sure, it's the drunk guy who just wolfed down eight hot dogs in a row,
but still something to be proud.
Sounds like I could usually talk to.
Hey, leave him alone.
He's been there since 5 a.m.
Yeah.
Okay, I can't believe this is the crazy interview of my life.
To paint a picture, I'm hanging off the side of like a gate.
There's a guy on top of a pole.
What you're doing at the Seahawks victory break?
We're celebrating.
You're holding on for dear life up there.
Why?
Why are you up?
It was the best vote. We got here like an hour late.
What if you hurt yourself?
Oh, we'll figure it out from there.
Have help insurance?
Have you thought of this in a responsible manner?
Not even a little.
You're causing a scene.
These people want to see you take off your shirt.
He's taking it off.
I was kidding.
Oh, God!
I feel like, cars that right!
Get your shirt on before you get arrested.
Oh, that was so good.
I love that.
The hype was real, man.
Why do I feel like that's not the first time Jose has shouted?
Put your shirt on before.
on before you get arrested.
I often frequently ask people to take them off, too.
Yeah.
I can appreciate that level of enthusiasm,
especially if you've climbed a pole to do an interview.
Well, not just that, but the level of danger,
because when you take your shirt off,
there's a moment where you're blind.
Yeah.
You can't see anything.
And he's still holding on to this light post by one hand.
He's like at least 10 feet in the air.
And the parking lot pimps saw that guy with the shirt off.
He was like, hell yeah.
You do your thing.
That was what you're doing at the Seattle Seahawks victory parade.
We got your phone tab coming up.
Next.
We're in the home stretch to Valentine's.
And if you somehow manage to book a reservation at a romantic Italian restaurant,
consider yourself lucky.
You booked it months ago, be honest.
Unless that restaurant is the same one, our helpful resident German Hans Glober works at.
No, no.
A German working at a romantic Italian restaurant?
Confusing.
That should be interesting.
I wonder what he wants in your phone tap right now.
Brooke and Jeffrey's phone taps on the 20s.
Hello?
Hello.
This is Hans Glover from S-I-Satelian restaurant.
Am I speaking with a Keith?
Yes, this is Keith.
How can I help you, brother?
Sorry, I'm saying Keys, but they cannot say very well because my accent.
Your name is like Keith, like I'm going to, Muw.
Keith you?
You know, like Keith, like, K-E-I-T-H.
Oh, okay.
I was saying Kis, but it is Kis.
Got it.
Okay, I see you're having the reservations at our restaurant for Valentine's Day.
Yes, sir. I'm excited, man.
One of my favorite places to go.
Oh, and in the notes here, I will say this quietly, so no one is hearing.
But it says you're hoping to be proposing to your Freudan?
Nope, nope. Not hoping. I am going to get engaged.
I'm excited about this.
Oh, Wondaba. I am loving that energy, but can I let you in on a little secret?
Like what? You guys are going to do something special for us?
I would consider this very special for you.
You see, I do work at this Italian place, but I also work as the finest German restaurant in the entire city, maybe even in unworld, an ocean limer.
Okay, so what does this have to do with me, though?
Well, here is an Italian restaurant. It's very basic. Or I have a limp noodle. I'm going to slurp and maybe have a bread.
It's boring. But on German restaurant, oh.
Oh, ho, ho. Now we are speaking the language of the lovers.
So you're saying you don't want me to go to the Italian restaurant?
Well, of course I am not outright saying that because that would be against the employee handbook here.
I would get in trouble. I would never say that.
But yes, you should leave.
Yeah, I don't know about that, man. It's kind of weird.
Especially you working at one restaurant trying to give me to another.
Well, that should show you how much better one of the restaurants is.
And have you ever known how romantic German people are?
Oh, you're a very loving bunch.
Nah, I've never met a romantic German person ever.
You're telling me you've never seen the famous German movie Sleep Lesson, Stuttgart.
No, I've never seen that movie, man.
No, everyone has seen the movie, two lovers meeting over Strudel,
and then one gets taken to prison for falsifying secrets to the other,
and then relaying the information to the KGB.
Sleep Lesson, Strutkart.
Dude, that's not a sexy movie.
Oh, you must watch it.
Are you kidding me?
You know how much of this sexy time?
I might have after watching that movie?
Okay.
Can you guess Vyza sleepless?
Because he's in prison?
Well, yes, but he's also still making love.
Not by choice.
Anyway...
Yeah, I'm not interested in a German prison love movie.
I don't even know why we're talking about this
and doing this over the phone.
Well, in Germany, a prison love is the highest form of love and romance.
But, you know, it's different cultures.
Dude, what the hell are you talking about?
Okay, never mind.
Look, if you really want to do the proposal
at the Italian restaurant,
I would love to hear about it.
Well, I got a little dinner, right?
Of course.
German dinner?
I got some candlelight.
German candles?
I got chocolate.
I got flowers.
Oh, German chocolate.
And I'm going to have the ring delivered in the flute of champagne.
Oh.
Okay, I mean, that's very basic.
Again, you could do it that way, but think about this if you were in a German restaurant,
instead of a tiny champagne float.
Imagine a ring floating in a 72 ounce steel,
Stein and she must drink the entire Stein and then she proposes to you as his tradition.
Man, that's not wrong with you.
Plus, it is a proof of her tolerance.
You would like a strong woman who can pound the bills.
Look, man, I got to go.
Me and my lady both like Italian.
We're just going to do the Italian restaurant.
We don't want German, dude.
Okay.
I was not prepared to do this, but I will pull out all of the stopings for you, okay?
I am going to give you one free strudel cake.
Nah, man, nah.
I make it myself.
I can put a little blue pill in it if you'd like.
Hey, man, just chill.
I told you I don't want your reservation.
I'm going to do it my way.
We're going to the Italian restaurant.
That's it.
Well, fine.
You can keep your reservation, but now I'm mad at you.
Just know if you see me, okay, I'm mad.
Me and your friend Nathan who set you up for the prank phone call,
you're going to be pouting all night.
Did you say Nathan?
How do you know my boy Nathan?
Oh, you mean your best friend?
Because he's the one who set you up for this prank phone call.
This is actually...
I knew this is a sudden, too.
I could tell you knew a little bit, man.
My name's Jose.
From the radio show, Brick and Jeffrey in the morning,
we just did a phone tap on you.
And the crazy thing is,
I was going to ask this episode to be my best man.
Oh, me, I would love to be your best man.
Oh, my gosh.
Not you and Nathan.
Oh, that's not making more sensing, yeah.
Okay.
Well, I was thinking, you know, best man, maybe movie night,
you or me, sleepless and screwed God.
Nah, I'm cool.
That movie's probably on Tooby.
the 20s.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Oh, no.
Do you guys hear that?
What?
That's not just any harp.
That's Cupid playing his emergency harp.
Oh, no.
No, the emergency harp.
He only plays that when he's in trouble.
Oh, let's save Cupid.
Because he needs help with a Valentine's emergency.
Oh, Cupid.
One of our listeners met up with a guy on Valentine's weekend.
and even though they both ended up getting kicked out of the restaurant.
She said it's one of the best, most memorable first meetup she's ever had.
What the heck?
She can remember it.
That's a good sign so far.
The bad sign is he's not calling her back afterwards.
Play that hard.
So we're going to find out what happened and help Cupid.
Here we go, Cuban.
In a special Valentine's second date update right after this.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, second date update.
Sometimes it takes a bold move to make a first date really stand out.
Oh, yeah.
Whether that means going in for the kiss right when you meet?
What?
Oh, yeah.
Bring your parents along with you?
Or giving them your car at the end of the night.
Oh.
It's a little thank you gift for meeting up.
I'll walk from here.
Yeah, let me.
We signed the title over to you.
Yeah.
Sounds like a great day for Alexis.
Another bold move is to have your first date during the most romantic holiday
of the year.
Oh, my God.
Valentine's.
And that's what happened for one of our listeners, Melissa,
who now needs our help on Valentine's Day.
So Melissa, welcome to the show.
Hi.
Oh, my goodness.
I'm so curious who would ask you out on a first date around this time.
Oh, well, it was this guy in online, actually.
All right.
Okay.
He's going to sound silly.
Did he at any way say, I don't like you like that?
See, I feel like he probably just forgot that it was.
the holiday. I mean, he's a band.
That's a classic guy thing, actually.
We're going to do a lot of, like, complicated question.
Let's start with an easy one. Does he have a name?
There it is.
Yes, his name's John.
Great.
John, okay.
Very easy name.
Tell us about Easy John.
He's really nice. He's so cute.
I just thought he was like a perfect gentleman.
Oh, really?
What did he do that was so gentlemanly?
Okay, well, he definitely knew.
that it was Valentine's weekend.
And he went above and beyond,
booked this really nice restaurant.
Oh, nice.
So he didn't shy away from it.
He was like,
I want to take you on a Valentine's date
on Valentine's weekend.
Proper.
Totally, yeah.
Wow.
Good move then.
Well, that's good.
Okay, so how did it go?
Well, so we get to the restaurant.
It's really nice, but it is so busy.
Oh, did he have reservations?
Yes.
He made a reservation.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Wow.
Man, nice restaurant, like, reservations on Valentine's weekend.
It's very romantic, but it could put a lot of pressure on both of you going into that day.
Did you feel that pressure energy at all?
I felt pressure going into it, but then once I got there, he made me so comfortable.
Oh, he did.
That's sweet.
How was it?
Like, did you have a good time with him?
I had a good time.
Uh-oh.
Like, I, no, no, no.
I really liked him.
It was just that the atmosphere.
was so insane and hectic.
Like we get to eat at our table.
We get our orders in.
Our food comes out and we notice there's only one fork.
Like the waiters so busy.
We asked for a fork,
but they never bring us another fork.
So we're like, okay, I guess we share it.
Did you?
Did you share the fork?
Wait, what?
We tried to share the fork,
but that just like took too long
because then each person was waiting
for the other person take a bite.
Seriously, you would take a bite from the fork
and then you'd pass the fork over to John.
and then he would take a bite from his meal?
Well, you can't wait for one to finish.
The other person's going to get cold.
And he was a real gentleman.
He'd wait for her to finish.
If he was a real gentleman, he'd just go in the back like I do and steal a force from wherever the server station is.
Or it's like I got first silverware.
I don't worry about this.
I mean, all the joking aside, isn't that like a weird way to go about your first date sharing utensils?
True.
Yes, but it was like sort of, we had a laugh about it.
I switched over to a spoon.
It kind of made things a little bit.
it made it low stakes because we were like, this is crazy, right?
So he cut up your meat for you and then you spooned it into your mouth.
All right.
Let's get past the fork, Sharon.
What other highlights happened during your restaurant date?
Okay.
So this is where it got a little bit weird.
Oh.
Oh, weirder.
We're finishing up our main course.
Uh-huh.
And then the host of the restaurant comes over and asks if he could speak to John, like, away from the table.
What?
That's weird.
John goes over.
has this long conversation.
I could see them talking.
It looked like a little bit heated.
I couldn't hear what was.
So like hands are moving.
It's a little animated.
It lasted like five minutes.
It's kind of a long time.
Is the host a male or a female?
A guy.
Okay.
I was wondering if it maybe was an ex or something.
Oh, that's not a bad.
Okay.
Not an ex.
So what happened?
Well, okay, so when John comes back from the conversation,
he was like really upset and he was like,
screw this, we're leaving.
the host chases after and it's like
you still have to pay
I'm in the middle of it I'm confused
and like what is happening
So you're dining and dashing?
Well it sounds like they're being kicked out of the restaurant
Not dashing
Yeah but they're like you have to pay
But hey if you're kicking me out of a restaurant
I'm not paying either
So would you do?
Yeah what happened
Well John told me to go out and like wait in the car
And that he would deal with it
And he pays, he settles up
Okay
So when we're on the car right home
I'm asking like what just happened
That's crazy
apparently the host told John that we were taking too long for our meals.
No.
And there was an hour limit.
Do that sometimes.
Didn't John say it only took so long because we had to share one fork passing it back and forth?
That was probably part of his argument.
Yeah.
Like you guys were giving us bad service.
I mean, and I was supportive.
John was like really upset about it.
And I was like, I'm not that too.
That's ridiculous.
Yeah, you're having a good time on your date.
Well, that sucks.
That puts like definitely a sour taste at the very end of the day.
Were you able to end it on a happy note?
Yeah, I mean, he took me home.
Again, he was a perfect gentleman, walk me to the door, said he would call, we should do it again.
Oh, really?
He apologized for the restaurant thing, even though I could tell he was still sort of heated by it.
And it wasn't his fault.
Yeah.
I mean, so you haven't heard anything from him since this weekend?
No.
Does that feel like, I don't know, maybe he's busy?
It's weird to do a whole Valentine's Day date and then not text on Valentine's Day even.
Yeah, that's weird.
All that buildup and nothing?
Could just be super embarrassed.
Or maybe he only has one cell phone that he shares with his roommate back and forth.
And so his roommate has the cell phone this week.
Time limit.
Yeah.
So I don't know.
There must be an explanation.
We're going to call the number that you gave us.
Hopefully it's John.
And we'll try and get you your second date update right after this.
All right.
All right.
All right.
Hold on.
Broken Jeffrey in the morning.
Second date update.
Two meals, one spoon should be the title of our second date today.
No, man.
That's bad memories.
You still shouldn't look that up on the internet.
Yeah, well, it's not even that one.
Because our listener, Melissa, went on a Valentine's date on the busiest weekend of the year,
with couples packed into nice restaurants.
Their waiter was too busy to give them another fork.
Sorry, I said fork before.
So they just shared one, which it's a little awkward to do on a first date.
And made for a long meal.
Yeah, but it does sound like it helped break the tension of having a pressure-filled first date on a holiday,
like that.
Totally.
And they naturally got to taste each other's food.
Oh, my God.
The weird part, though, was when the host came over to the table during dinner, pulled
her date John aside, and they got into a heated conversation, which Melissa couldn't hear
all of.
It led to John saying, though, screw it, we're going to leave.
Dude, they basically got kicked out of the restaurant.
Oh, really?
Super awkward.
A lot of questions about that.
But apparently, they were there for too long, and the restaurant was trying to turn as many
tables as they could that night.
Oh, my God.
So rude.
So almost ended in disaster.
I think it did.
Melissa, do you think maybe John's just embarrassed that that situation happened on the first date?
I think so.
Maybe.
I was also, I was trying to think of anything else weird happened.
And I do remember that he wanted to get to the restaurant early.
And I was like a little bit late getting ready.
Oh.
And he picked you up, right?
Like you guys were in the same car?
Yeah, he picked me up.
Okay.
Too late.
Oh, so you're.
part of the reason that maybe the reservation?
Yep, yep, got shifted.
Okay.
But if they only have you blocked out for like an hour of eating and you arrive 20 minutes
after your hour, like they might rush you.
Have you ever dated a woman?
Like, are we ever on time?
I mean, come on.
You should pat it into the reservation time.
I don't know how I'm apologizing for this, but yeah, I'm sorry.
Thank you.
Like, just call the restaurant and say you're running late before you even get us.
I would put myself in issues.
I don't think I would want to call her back too.
Really?
So embarrassed, you have all these expectations, and now you're never going to, you're always going to remember the first date, yelling, storming out of the restaurant.
We're going to save this on Valentine's Day.
I hope, but I can see if he is embarrassed.
We're going to save it, or we're going to blame John for not understanding what women are really like.
There is.
We'll make him say I'm sorry right when he gets on the phone.
Perfect.
It felt good when you said it, Jeffrey.
Do you feel good about that, Melissa?
Yeah, I just want some answer.
All right.
All right.
Let's get those.
I'm going to dial his number right now.
Here we go.
Hey, we're looking for John.
This is John.
Hey John, my name is Jeff
from a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey
in the morning. Hey, John.
We're all here.
Sorry for how seductively
my host tried to say that to you.
It is Valentine's Day after all.
Dear John.
Okay, we're married.
All right.
She's married, John.
I'm just being silly, John.
It's just a...
Yeah, we're kind of a wacky fun show
and we do this wacky segment
called Second Date Update.
So wacky.
Okay.
And we're trying to help one of our listeners
get back in touch with you after you went on a date with her named Melissa.
Oh, man.
Yeah.
We heard it was a interesting night.
I thought bold move on your part for going on a first day on Valentine's Day weekend and like leaning into it.
Yeah, that's a big deal, dude.
Melissa called you?
Yeah.
She emailed us and we reached out to her to find out about how you two met and what you guys did on your date.
So we have a few of the details.
The information we're looking to get from you, though, is why you're not reaching out to her after the date.
She says it's been a few days and got nothing.
Oh, man.
Oh, my God.
Why are you laughing?
Because this is very embarrassing.
Oh.
You know, I want to call her, and I know I need to call her, but I've just been putting it off because it's such an uncomfortable conversation.
You weren't physically attracted to her?
What?
No, no.
That's what you got from that?
How did you get that?
Well, I don't know.
You don't need to tell people that.
It was a bad guess.
Sorry.
I get three bad guesses.
We all get three bad guesses.
That's my first strike.
Terrible guess.
It's not even a bad.
What were you embarrassed about?
So I was really nervous about the date.
And so I really wanted it to be a good experience for her.
But I waited too long to get dinner reservations.
And there was no restaurants open, you know, that had anything open for me.
Wait.
She said that you had reservations.
and that you guys went to this fancy restaurant.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, well, I might have done something a little weird.
What?
I don't know if she told you, but so at the restaurant, the waiter pulled me aside.
Yeah.
He had like a little conversation with me.
Yeah, she was mentioning that it got kind of heated between you and the host,
but she couldn't hear what was happening.
Yeah, so basically what happened was the host, he pulled me aside and he was like, are
you John and, you know, I told them that I was.
Okay.
But so what happened was the actual John showed up.
Wait, wait, wait.
What?
You took someone else's reservation that was also named John?
Yeah, I did.
How?
How did you know there was another John left here?
Did you just go, oh, table for two for John?
What about Tom?
What about Sarah?
I met Kurt.
How did this happen?
So the day before, me and my friend went to the restaurant, and I told him to distract the host, and I went up to the reservation book.
And I looked for another reservation with Nick John.
And like it's such a generic name.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I can't tell if I'm flattered that you put, you mean, you put energy into making sure you had a table.
Seriously.
It makes sense because Melissa was saying you wanted to get there early and she was running late.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I thought I could sneak it in there, you know?
Oh, my God.
Okay, hold on.
The server in me has to ask, was John the table for one?
Which is why there was only one set of silverware on the table?
Yeah, I, yep, that's right.
I figured it out.
Okay.
Oh, my God.
That's why they had one for it.
Oh, my gosh.
Well, you should have just asked John to join you.
Yeah.
He might have been happier.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
And you've been waiting to tell Melissa this?
Yeah, I guess I was just too embarrassed to let her know
I had a great time on the date with her
But I just was so ashamed of myself, I guess
I think it's kind of fun
I think that she's gonna think it's funny
All the women think that it's great
That you took someone else's reservation
And stole it from another honest man
But that's okay
Table for one, who cares
Sure, I wonder how Melissa would feel about that though
Who actually is on the other line
Listening to this conversation, dude
Oh my, are you kidding me?
I'm serious.
You just told her.
She's on the other line.
Yeah, she, I think she's still there.
Melissa, you there?
Yeah.
Are you serious?
That's what happened?
Oh, my God.
Hey, Melissa.
Why wouldn't you just tell it?
Why did you have to make a big thing?
Like you made a reservation?
We could have gone anywhere.
Oh.
I know.
We just, we clicked so well, and I just wanted to make it,
special and you know i just i guess i like you a lot so i always and when you're starting to vibe with
someone online you don't want to lose that momentum and let it go like two three weeks till the actual
date exactly you got to get face to face as soon as possible and melissa sounds so understanding
you sound good right i mean i guess i do see how much he likes me to go through all that
trouble that is kind of sweet yeah but also kind of sketched that he wasn't going to pay the
restaurant bill let's see if they were leaving remember that
For kicking him out.
I was going to pay it, but I just didn't want to get busted in front of her.
So I just had to get out of it.
I had to get her out.
That's sweet.
If he commits crimes or makes mistakes, he won't involve you in them.
See, that's chivalry.
You say it's dead and it's not, Jeff.
That's a promise every man should make.
So because of that, I feel the vibes going on here.
We'd like to send you guys out on another date, Melissa, that we would pay for.
We can't get reservations for tonight, though.
And I promise two forks at the table this time.
Oh, great.
You just get your own utensils.
What do you think, Melissa?
You know, that is weird that that was happening, and I had no idea.
But I do think that it's actually kind of really nice that you were, like, freaking out so much about it and put all that effort in.
So, yes, I would like to go on another date.
Love is real.
Look at that.
If you're a little bit dishonest on a first date and then admit to your dishonesty later on.
But it's all in the name of love, Jeff.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's fine.
As long as you say that, you don't have to actually believe it.
Just say that it's for love.
And we can get you a successful relationship.
Congratulations, guys.
Thanks, guys.
Oh, happy Valentine's Day.
It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Well, it's official.
The hot new first date move is stealing someone else's reservation and claiming it for yourself.
It's romantic.
It's really.
It's effort.
It's effort.
It's the right word.
I mean, Brooke, if you found out that your husband Michael did that for your Valentine's date and stole some other couples' table, would you, would your reaction be?
Oh, Michael.
Yeah.
You're so conniving and manipulative and sweet.
I love you.
Dude, yes, I would be impressed.
I am not even lied.
Just because he hasn't been putting an effort?
Yeah, we got to do a fight over how he hadn't planned anything.
And so he did finally play on something.
Right?
We had a great Valentine.
Well, whatever.
Did you just find someone with a generic name like Michael at a reservation somewhere?
Could be.
I had a great date on Saturday night.
There's like five mad Michael Foxes in the city.
You're like,
dang it!
Well,
the lesson that we're learning is it's okay to be dishonest on a first date
as long as it's for a good reason or to possibly get some action at the end of the way.
Yes.
As long as the girl comes out on top,
everybody wins.
I'm so excited for them.
I have as excited for a couple.
in a long time.
I feel bad for the original John guy
whose reservation got stolen.
I feel bad that he was eaten by himself
on Valentine's Day weekend, but you know.
We're going to pile on.
He shows up.
Of course someone already has my table.
Sorry, John.
We promise not to pile on to you, though.
If you need some help with your dating life,
email the show.
We'll call that person who's not calling you back
and find all of our second date podcast
wherever you get yours at Brooke and Jeffrey.
Every married couple has their special
wedding day song.
Whether it's Edda James at last, John Legends All of Me, or Quad City DJs, come on ride the train.
Come on ride the train.
Whatever works for that couple, you know, let them be.
And yeah, you know, those are the tried and true ones that everybody tends to use.
But if you want to be original, I've got a song that I promise you no one else will have played on their big day.
Oh, really?
Not because it's off-tune and a little pitchy,
but because it's off-tune, pitchy, and original to this station.
Oh.
So if you want romance unlike any other,
make sure you listen to my brand new Song of the Week.
You could be slow dancing to it at your future wedding coming up right after this.
It is time for my Song of the Week.
It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
And if you had to peg our bread and butter on this show,
it's really relationships.
Oh, for sure.
Dates make this go around.
Yeah, significant others, people who are married, people who are dating.
I mean, could you safely say that Valentine's Day is kind of like our Super Bowl?
Well, you can't say that legally without getting sued by the NFL.
I think if I'm comparing the two, I'm allowed to say it.
Roll the dice, Jeff.
I love it.
It kind of should be right.
If that's the main thing that we do is,
love and dating.
And every single year, I sing a song about couples or possible gifts that you could buy.
But this is the first time ever.
I'm not going to do that sort of stuff.
Really?
Because you're wearing heart-shaped glasses and a heart headband.
I'm still singing about the holiday.
I'm going to do a song about a single person who's not in a relationship, but happens to be around a couple who's trying to celebrate.
A.k.a. The third wheel.
There it is.
And if you're the couple, maybe you know this person.
Maybe they come over to dinner once a week to hang out with the both of you.
And they feel just so close to you.
And, you know, you love them too.
Yes.
But on Valentine's Day, it's supposed to be different.
That's the one day that the third wheel should maybe stay in the garage.
Oh, yeah.
You know?
Stay home, man.
Alexis is sad for that.
Is that where you're going to be, Alexis?
It's probably where you need to be.
It doesn't always happen.
And sometimes when you are the third wheel,
you're having just such a blast.
You don't even realize that you are getting in the way of Cupid's business.
I see.
This is a self-realization moment for the third wheel.
So I wanted to sing a song for all those oblivious third wheels
who don't seem to grasp that their presence is killing the romantic vibe.
Oh, man.
And that's why, instead of singing the Bill Withers classic, just the two of us, it's Young Jeffries, just the three of us.
Thank you for not doing the Will Smith version of this.
You're welcome.
It's a little more appropriate.
I'm going to point when I'm ready.
Points.
The most romantic night of all, holding hands at the table in the Outback Steakhouse booth.
He compliments your gorgeous eyes.
I agree then we high-five.
Can we get at third menu for just the three of us?
Sharing shrimp by candlelight, nothing devious, just third wheeling us.
Gosh, I'm ticklish.
Bro, that ain't her thigh, that's mine.
No misreading us on Valentine's.
So just pretend that I'm not here while he nibbles on your ear
and I bite into my tea barn.
But in the Uber I'll give you space, you're in the back at second base.
While I ride shotgun earmuffs on, just the three of us
strolling through the park at night, linking arms and stuff,
Nothing thrrupulous, just the three of us inside a hot tub sipping wine.
Did our feet just touch?
Cause I don't mind.
Gosh, you two are such a cute couple.
Oh, no, no, no, don't stop kissing on my account.
No, please continue.
Yeah, I'm fine, just over here with my Diet Coke.
No, no, you don't have to set me up with any of your cute friends.
I like hanging out with just you two.
We're like the three musketeers.
Oh, waiter?
Yes, can we get the tropical temptation for two, but with three straws, please.
Thank you.
Blending in like I'm camouflage, joining your couple's massage.
You barely notice I'm in that room.
Sorry, it's the blooming onion.
Just like Anna and Christoph, I'm your happy friend, O'Ley.
And in the bed, I'm smallest spoon.
Just the three of us.
Share one karaoke mic, singing endless love.
Our singing real is us.
We'll be speeding up on our three-seat tandem bike.
It's not weird for us.
Date night squeezing us.
Just the three of us.
Intermediate us.
Just the three of us.
God's his chemistry, yeah
Just the three of us
Taking many foe
Jose is out and in between of us
Drop me out of them if you like
Yeah, like a triple C peanut
Just ignore me if I cry
Just the three of us
Let's all go back to the hotel
I sleep with the foot of your bed
That's fine
Not too close dating friends
I won't kill the by
Well not for me
What are you doing in the massage room
During the couple's therapy
I'm getting a massage
Oh you're getting one too
Yeah just over in the corner
You guys do your thing
I'm cool over here
You make a point with AI and everything now, you can just crop the third wheel out.
Exactly.
It's like I was never even there.
He was like he maybe could take the picture instead.
I don't know.
He's part of the crew.
Oh, sorry.
Don't shut me out.
We're friends.
That's your song of the week for Valentine's.
You can text in to 78592 and tell us what you thought about it.
Send it to your favorite third wheel that accompanies you and your significant other everywhere you go.
But happy Valentine's every day.
Whether you're single or the third wheel, we love you anyway.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Have you guys seen the Valentine's Day headlines out there?
Which ones?
I'm guessing by this music, they're not good.
Yeah, like this, study finds 78% of all Valentine's Instagram posts are just to make an ex-jalous.
Oh, my God.
Really?
Also, man attempts to cook Valentine's dinner for girlfriend, sets entire apartment complex on fire.
Yikes.
Not really that romantic.
I mean, it's kind of candlelight.
It's all lit.
Flames of love.
Okay.
Man, with the way things are going,
only one thing can turn this around and save Cupid's holiday.
Really?
And that's playing a love-infused radio game called Riffin' Around.
Yes.
Valentine's edition.
It's coming up right now.
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day.
And low-cost love is.
in the air.
Yay!
The only two ways to properly
celebrate this holiday are by putting
on your Brooke and Jeffrey fuzzy goat skin
undies, or by
playing a naughty little game.
Riffing around.
If you haven't heard it before, it's where I
play the instrumental of a very popular
song you've definitely heard before,
and my co-hosts just have
to name it correctly without
whining or complaining to me
about fairness, Brooke.
Almost taken away.
way a point that's your one warning and in honor of Cupid's birthday every song you hear will have the word love or something romantic in it we're gonna start it off with the lady who gags just hearing the L word spoken out loud Alexis name this romantic tune
oh somebody to love wait oh Jose can you steal it
I know it I know it oh just the title just the title give a guess
Fell and roll.
Oh, Brooke.
We found love.
Really good.
Brooke gets the point on that one.
Jose, remember the theme is Valentine.
So please name this romantic song.
This is right up your alley, Jose.
Oh, it's like Ed Shearin, but then I keep thinking it's, oh.
All right, we got to skip you on that.
We're not even close.
Alexis, can you steal?
Oh, I told me you on Brooke first.
Brooke.
It's endless love.
What the heck is happening?
What is it called?
Stop it.
You're shaming everybody.
Can't help falling in love by Elvis Presley.
Oh.
It was used in a life alert commercial.
Brooke, you should have seen this.
Okay.
Well, nobody gets a point on that one.
Okay.
Wow, we get your disappointment, though.
All right, Brooke just lost her point.
A disappointment.
Lost her point for shaming the host.
All right, Brooke, put your jealousy of young hot couples aside
and try to name this love song.
All have the word love.
Somewhere in the title.
Oh, they do?
I didn't know that.
The first thing that I said when I started this game.
Why does she not get a negative point for that?
Okay.
Oh, for a negative point.
Why are you asking terrible?
Brooke is in the negatives now.
If you can throw a guess out there, that would be great.
This is.
Oh, God.
Alexis.
Love song.
No.
Oh, dang it.
Love you like a love song.
Love you like a love song.
Jose gets the steel.
It sounded like an eight.
It does. It was a weird.
By Selena Gomez about a relationship still in its honeymoon phase, which for Brooke ended 27 years ago.
Hey, now that we heard an Elvis one, though, I'm all thrown off.
I'm like, what era are we going to be here?
Is that secure?
I don't know.
Love spans every generation.
We're on to round two.
The score is one for Jose, zero for Alexis, negative one for Brooke, playing riffing around Valentine's edition,
where the title of every song has something to do with love or carnal gratification.
All right, back to the girl whose number one love is seasonal drinks at Starbucks.
Alexis, name this song.
Oh.
Oh.
Crazy in love.
Crazy in love.
Crazy in love by Beyonce.
Brooke, anything unnecessarily mean you'd like to say to me?
Not you.
Not right now.
To me.
Good.
Let's keep it moving.
We're back to Jose.
Okay.
Jose, in order to get a point here, must answer as your phone tap character, Rolando.
Oh, okay.
Name this love song.
That doesn't sound like Rolando to me.
There we go.
It does not matter which one.
I do not know the lyrics.
No, right artist, wrong song.
I'm going to say loving on a prayer.
Oh.
Right artist, wrong song.
Alexis, do you have it?
Rolando threw me off singing the wrong song.
Oh, two turned on by Rolando.
Brooke, can you steal it?
Now I can only seek living on a prayer.
I know.
It is the same, too.
I'm telling you.
Love is a battlefield.
Oh.
No, you're not. This is kind of shameful.
Brooke, put on your rented latex thinking hat for this one and name this love song.
Love Shag.
B-52's named after the construction yard honey bucket where Brooke was conceived.
It's too easy for her on that one.
It is tied with one and one for Alexis, Brooke bringing up the rear.
We're on to round three of Riffing Around Valentine's edition where love is in the air and in the title of each and every song.
Yes.
All right, Alexis.
Keep staring with that blank confused look in your eye and name this popular romantic tune.
Maroon 5 and he will be blocked on Insta by that 19-year-old.
All right, Jose, I need you answer in this one to be your character Big Rick
when you tell me the name of this iconic love song.
Okay.
Oh, okay, that's pretty close.
On a submarine.
Oh, it's not yellow submarine.
Brooke, can you steal it?
All you need is love.
The Beatles.
I couldn't think of it.
All right, Brooke, you're back tied up.
I know you can't remember the names of your co-workers who've been here for 11 years,
but can you remember the name of this romantic song?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, um, shoot.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, um, shoot is not the name of the song.
It's Alexis.
Okay, Taylor Swift, but I don't know if it's a love story or love story.
What's your guess?
Love story.
Love story.
Of Riffin' Around Valentine's edition is Alexis for you in the love cup and has a parting gift.
Brooke will tell you her secret to avoiding unwanted intimate time with her husband.
I got a list.
Sorry, we are out of time.
