Starting point is 00:00:00 I don't think I've ever listened on my... Like, he's not enjoyable for me to listen to his album. All right, you guys, the podcast is starting. I know that we're discussing the new Bruno Mars song. But we need to get to the full show. You guys want to hear it? I can't play it. Oh, wait, maybe legally I can't play it.
Starting point is 00:00:14 I don't know. All right, listen, we got a full hour for you that's brand new. Jeff's got a great new parody song. Really dedicated to the quitters of the world. So if that's you, you're going to love this. Yeah, don't quit on the song. New second date. The craziest tech.
Starting point is 00:00:30 that's out there, a lot of fun on the way. But first, comments, what do you see? Okay, yeah, the other day we were talking about Nicholas Cage for a shot caller. And Neil McKim commented, there's a bar where I'm from, Cork, Ireland, that has a bar full of Nicholas Cage posters
Starting point is 00:00:44 and memorabilia, and the owner's a huge fan, and it's recommended not to say anything bad about Nick in his presence. No way. I bet he'll kick you out. Dude, that's kind of cool. Yeah, right?
Starting point is 00:00:55 I wonder if Nicholas has ever gone. I don't know. How is that? That's probably like the tour destination. Neil, you need to go to the bar and send us photos. Yes, please. I wonder if they have little declaration of independence, like menus. You can always tag us on socials with any sort of pictures.
Starting point is 00:01:11 Not any sort, I guess I shouldn't put that in the tation out there. Wait a minute. At Brooke and Jeffrey, thanks for feed here. Don't get banned, guys. Yeah, before I say too much, we're going to get this full show started right now. According to a new poll, 79% of New Year's resolutions involve improving on your overall health. Oh, that's great.
Starting point is 00:01:34 We should all want that. As they should. Health is wealth, Jeff. That's almost a pretty healthy to begin with, but that's okay. The majority of those specifically deal with weight loss. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and there's one company who's just laughing at us, saying, oh, yeah, you want to lose weight?
Starting point is 00:01:53 How about we launched the most unhealthy menu item that we've ever had right at the start of the new year. I mean, when I ditch my New Year's resolutions, I like to ditch them hard. Yeah, true. This is perfect for you because right now for 1199, Applebee's is offering something called the OM Cheeseburger. I've seen this.
Starting point is 00:02:17 Now, I'm passing the pictures around to my co-hosts. You can find the photo up on our Insta stories at Brooke and Jeffrey. Brooke, how would you describe what you're seeing there? Well, it looks like a bacon burger with no vegetables. Zero vegetables on it. Bacon, lots of cheese, but it's cut in half, and the halves are both sitting downward into another plate of cheese. It's basically a large bacon cheeseburger burger, cut in half,
Starting point is 00:02:43 and the ends are floating in a skillet of melted molten cheese. You can dip it. That's intense. Yeah, I wouldn't say it looks healthy. No. Not at all. My mouth isn't watering. Really?
Starting point is 00:02:56 I think it looks absolutely delicious. I would take a bite for sure. Really? In that cheese sauce? Oh, yeah. We did go to the Instagram comments for this on Applebee's page. One person said, for anyone who wants to know, I tried this last week. And it was great.
Starting point is 00:03:10 Oh. A little hard to eat because the burger stuck to the skillet. So the waitress had to bring me a spatula in order to pry it up. But it was really good. Let's be honest. She brought you a shovel. There you go. We're here to help you.
Starting point is 00:03:26 ruin your New Year's resolutions starting today. I think more cheese should be the resolution Jeff. Always and my resolution is to maybe not get shocked by the shock collar during the shock collar question of the day. Digital Jake, please don't dash
Starting point is 00:03:42 my dreams. Let's go for it. Let's see. Today we're celebrating the birthday of the future queen of England. I love, love. Kate Middleton. Hey. That's right. Even cooler than all her fancy gowns or her sparkling tiara. and her lavish castles is her official royal title,
Starting point is 00:04:00 the Princess of Wales. But not all royal names sound quite as elegant as the Princess of Wales, especially when you travel around to other monarchies across the globe. And today you're going to have to decide which royal titles are real during a special crowned jewels or clowned fools edition of plenty of 20. Okay. You'll say a number 1 through 20.
Starting point is 00:04:24 I'll give you the name and title. of a royal family member from somewhere in the world. You have to tell me if that person is a real crowned jewel or a made-up clowned fool. Let's start with the woman who's been dubbed the morning show's Duchess of Croptollus. That's Alexis. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:04:44 I forgot my tiara. Seven. Your exalted royal person is King Maha Wajerlankan from Thailand. He holds the role of upholder of religions, descendant of the Shakhri dynasty, and possessor of royal white elephants. Now, Alex, do you tell me if King Maha Wajra Lakan is made up a clown fool, or if that's a real person, a crown jewel? First of all, I'm impressed you're able to say that all right. I think he mispronced it.
Starting point is 00:05:16 I think it's Maha Raja Royal Longcorn. Okay, hold on, if you're Thai, text in, who's pronouncing it right, if anybody is. If he's a real person. Oh, that's right. It's a real person, which I still don't even know, and I have nothing to base it on. I'm going to go crown fool. Oh, not clown. Clown to.
Starting point is 00:05:34 Oh, wait. You couldn't get a half and half there. Clown fool would be fake. Crown jewel is real. Clown fool? Clown fool? You're the clown fool. That says King Maha is real.
Starting point is 00:05:47 He'd come up to you in a bar, try to hit on you, and you wouldn't believe him. Then you'd get beheaded in front of the entire town square. I deserve it. I don't think they're doing that. Her bodyguards from Croptopoulos would protect her. That's true. That's true. They're well paid for that.
Starting point is 00:06:00 Brooke, seven, is off the board. Let's pick the royal number one. Ooh. Your international royal person is Sultan Hassanal Bolkia from Brunei. Okay. The Sultan wears many hats currently serving as the prime minister, the minister of defense, and minister of finance. Busy.
Starting point is 00:06:20 He's busy and no time for your tomfoolery, Brooke. So please tell me, is Sultan Hassanal a real person with a real title, Crown Jewel? Or did we make him up? Crown fool? Good. Isn't the best part of being born into a royal family is you just have to make some public appearances here and there? You don't have to work that much. Oh, God, that sounds awful.
Starting point is 00:06:40 I mean, I think he needs to give up some of those jobs. So that's what I'm going to say he's a clown fool. Oh. Hook says clown fool. And she joins Alexis in the fool. Partest working royal that we'd have. Yeah, just take it easy, dude. What's going on in Brunei? Jose, we're over to you.
Starting point is 00:07:00 Okay, let's go 12. Your global royal is Prince Leopold von Driftwood. Oh. He tails from the Principality of Westermark, which is a coastal micro-state between Germany and Denmark. He's rained since 2011, and not surprisingly, loves going to the beach in the summers. He might be related to Simon von Morningwood. is a close friend of my family. Yeah, oh, very close.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Jose, is Leo von Driftwood a real person with a real title, or did we make him up? Leo von Driftwood that likes the beach. This is a joke, like written in itself. I mean, it doesn't sound, it's not a very German name. I'm going to say that this is a crown fool, Jake. Clown fool? No, he's rich, but he's also a fool. Okay, he doesn't exist.
Starting point is 00:07:47 Jose says we made this up. And you got that right, Jose. The Driftwood family is a shame. Our first fake regal. Jeffrey, will we have another one? Let's go to you for a number. Number 12, please. His regals coming out.
Starting point is 00:08:03 Your royal dignitary is known as Prince Reginald Snootsbury. Those snootsbury. From the Principality of Lower Brimvale, a landlocked micro-state tucked between Austria and Switzerland, kind of by the Vatican City. Snootsbury has been raining since 2010. Please tell me, is the snoot? real person with a real title, or did we make him up?
Starting point is 00:08:25 I'm trying to remember if my family and our international travels ever crossed paths with the snootsberries. Been in Brimvale? I feel like the last five minutes is we just sound even dumber to all of our international listeners. Dude, if he'd run on the campaign voot for snoot, that's been so good, I'd have to vote for him. That's what it's all to boot. Man, just because my family didn't have any invitations from the Snootsberry house, I'm going to say that this must be a clowned fool, Jake.
Starting point is 00:08:56 Jeffrey says we made him up. And we did. I should have thought about the invitations to your house, Jeffrey. That means the boys have won today's edition up. Yes, the boys know our royal family members, and therefore the ladies shall be punished in a joint shock while singing We Are Not the Champions by Queen. We are the champions, my friend.
Starting point is 00:09:25 And we'll keep on fighting. It did not sound they were fighting at all. That was your shock collar question of the day. Broke and Jeffrey in the morning. Programming note is Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. All next week on the show, it's a special themed week of Scam the Scammer phone tapes. Oh my God, I can't wait. On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday is going on?
Starting point is 00:09:54 That's the whole week. We knew them all in order. What does it mean? Basically, we've had enough of the never-ending scam calls that come into our stations. And I'm sure our listeners get a ton to their phones every single day, too. But we have multiple phone lines here at the radio. And it's ridiculous how many random calls keep coming in all throughout the morning from total strangers, threatening to shut off our utilities
Starting point is 00:10:20 or attempting to sell us bogus car warranties. It makes me feel like we have the only landlines that still exist. So we have it and we decided it's time for us to hit back. Let's go, Jazzy. And say, look, if you can randomly call us whenever, then we can prank you back whenever. So that's why every single scam call that came into the show, we answered and tried to mess with them.
Starting point is 00:10:45 All right. Potist, did we fall for any? We did not fall for any. This time. There was a few close calls. But a side note, one scammer completely loses it on us. It says that we're wasting his time. So you're going to have to hear it all next week.
Starting point is 00:11:01 Listen to us as we scam the scammers of the world. In our scam-the-scammer phone taps. We got laser stories coming up right after this. It's the radio segment that's revolutionizing the way we write with a new smart pen that loudly screams. screams out every word that you put to paper. So now the entire room can hear what you're scrolling into your diary. Wow.
Starting point is 00:11:31 Imagine at school. Do you like me? Yes or no. Dang it, Penn. It's all thanks to laser stories. This segment where we read weird news stories around the globe, just like everyone else does, except we've got a laser. Those other doodle dandies just don't.
Starting point is 00:11:46 This first laser story is out of China. An 81-year-old man named Zhang Shui was out on his balcony from a high-rise apartment building when he accidentally dropped his cell phone. Oh, no. He was hanging right on the edge of the building, 15 floors up, so he attempted to go over the barrier to try and grab it. It was suspended. Nothing like an 81-year-old climbing on a high-rise.
Starting point is 00:12:12 It's worth it. Well, a worst-case scenario happened. and Zang lost his balance and fell over the rail. What? No. But did he catch his phone? Down. You wanted him to grab it.
Starting point is 00:12:27 Why you're going down? Let's get one text in before it's all over. Luckily for him, another resident on the seventh floor had installed a heavy-duty clothes drying rack attached to their window. And with all the strings and cords on it, it miraculously caught him. Like a cartoon? Exactly what's the cartoon. So according to the police report, the resident was about to go check her laundry when she looked out the window in shock and saw Zhang just sitting there waving back at her. Honey, the old man's dry.
Starting point is 00:13:02 How are old people so chill? He just fell almost to a death and now he's waving? She called for help and eventually a security guard tied a fire hose around his own waist and then climbed out and saved the old. old man. Oh, yeah, trust your own nuts if you're
Starting point is 00:13:18 going to do that. Thankfully, he only came away with minor injuries when he probably should have died that day. That's crazy,
Starting point is 00:13:25 but Alexis needs to know what about the phone. Thank you. I need closure. The phone did not make it. Oh, no. Come on.
Starting point is 00:13:34 So was it worth it? Why live? I'm just kidding. They'll be holding a funeral for his iPhone next week. He's just crying. Zang says he is grateful for the clothes rack
Starting point is 00:13:43 and believes that if that scenario ever happened again, he would probably be caught a second time. Okay, let's not believe that. He's just got a guardian angel on him all the time. Learn zero lessons. This next laser story is out of the fragrance forum. Not sure if we covered this on the show, but Bath and Body Works debuted a new
Starting point is 00:14:04 pizza and ranch candle last month. Craming. Dude, I feel like it's so hard to keep up with all the weird candles that keep getting released. Yeah, well, you don't have to anymore because a press release. says they've already discontinued. Oh, interesting. Wait, discontinued or sold out? Discontinued.
Starting point is 00:14:21 I will say, I'm sorry, if you take a Hawaiian pizza and dip it in some ranch, it is like next level. It is pretty wild because you get salty, sweet and savory. We're talking about candles. Candles, bro. Maybe they discontinued it
Starting point is 00:14:33 because people were trying to eat them. Oh, no. That is definitely not why. The reason is apparently dozens of customers, if not hundreds, tried to return the candle because it was making people gag. Oh, it was that gag.
Starting point is 00:14:48 The description on their website probably should have tipped us off. It says it has notes of gooey cheese. And do you really want your entire home to smell like hot cheese? I mean, Brooks House already does, I think. I'm assuming, I don't know. And cold cheese.
Starting point is 00:15:05 And it's not actual cheese that you're smelling either. I walk in, I'm like, is this the deli? Also, a TikTok went viral last week where a bunch of girls smelled it inside a store and look like they might puke as well. Someone in the comments said they smelled it too and their quote life flashed before their eyes. Pretty dramatic. Dude, don't you kind of want to smell one now though?
Starting point is 00:15:26 I kind of do. I mean, why do we only want to smell things that are really good or really bad? Yeah. It's now sold out on the Bath and Body Works website. People are weird and when reports came out it was making dozens gags. Suddenly everybody wanted one. Exactly. Oh, now they're like us.
Starting point is 00:15:42 Just like us. I had the feeling I just had. The company says they're not going to restock it, though. It's got a rating of a 1.5 stars with over 200 bad reviews. Wow. No such thing is bad press, right? Bad Body Works? I don't know about that.
Starting point is 00:15:58 This next laser story is out of Trendtown. When you think of fancy bag brands, Fendi, Louis, Prada, those all come to mind. Well, now you can add another designer to that list, Trader Joe's. Oh, wow. Yeah. Because outside of the U.S., the Trader Joe's canvas totes are reselling for upwards of $50,000. Oh, my God. That is crazy.
Starting point is 00:16:25 They're so cute, though. But they're so stupid. They're the mini-toats. They're lunch bags. Everyone uses them for lunch. Yeah. I just hate how small they are. Do you how big my lunch is?
Starting point is 00:16:34 But that's the point. Brooke keeps talking about lunch. Can we get like a boiled egg in here or something? Yeah, someone needs to deliver a pizza in the studio. These are the same totes that sold together as a group. of four for under 10 bucks total. Yeah. Under 10. Under 10.
Starting point is 00:16:48 My trader Joe's had him and I didn't buy any. Oh, really? I was like, what am I going to use that for? They regret it now? Well, I probably could have resold it. Yeah. Should have. Right now, the U.S. has a rule limiting customers to only purchasing two
Starting point is 00:17:00 because of their high demand, but overseas they've reached a completely different status entirely. It's like a lobooboos over it. My friends live in Europe say now it's almost like too basic to have one, that they're getting embarrassed to have them in Europe because so everybody has them. Oh, that's the opposite now.
Starting point is 00:17:14 They are being listed on sites similar to eBay with a starting auction price of 10 grand. Wow, that's a wild. There's over 600 Trader Joe's in the U.S., but zero internationally. However, if you walk down the streets of London right now, you wouldn't know it, because there's estimates that one in 10 women currently own one. That's literally what you just said, Alexis. Let's go to your final laser story out of Hong Kong. A lot of international today.
Starting point is 00:17:42 I like it. Local shopping malls in the news after adding windows to their public bathroom stalls. What the heck, that's gross. But you can't see through them unless the person inside the stall lights up a cigarette. What? But what if they're just lighting a match to, you know, make it better for the next person? Do you do that for a girl? It is, but it works amazingly.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Definitely not going to the bathrooms after. Brooke, note taken. Yeah, it's better. That is better. But if you light up a cigarette, then you can see everything inside. Dang. That's crazy technology. Smoking in bathrooms is still common in China, and officials are trying to stop that by installing a glass that goes from frosted to clear if it detects smoke.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Oh, got it. Okay. But you're not that embarrassed because you have your pants on when you're smoking, right? Who knows? I don't know how they do it. People could see you smoking inside and whatever else that you. you're doing while you're in there. Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:45 On top of that, a loud audio message also gets broadcast to alert people to put down the cigarette and leave. Oh, no, no, that would get it. It's like, please put down your sins. You know, do you ever feel like we don't have enough public shame in this country? Yeah, we got to bring that back. A spokesperson for the mall said the new system seems to be working. They used to get several complaints a day about people smoking in their bathrooms,
Starting point is 00:19:10 but it's dropped off dramatically since they've installed. these. So maybe see-through bathroom windows would actually work here in our country. I know this guy just ordered a dozen of them and installed them inside his terrarium. Because he wants to be seen. I see. With whatever and shoe ever he is doing at the moment. And that sound means laser stories has come to an end for the day. We'll do it again. Same time on Monday. They said this wasn't possible, but it's actually happening. What? Something from the Harry Potter world, a magic something, is now coming to real life.
Starting point is 00:19:48 Oh my gosh. Give me a flying broom. It's not that, but they actually figured out how to make it. Whoa. Plus, the world's favorite toy just got a major upgrade. And even they say it's never going to be the same ever again. Whoa. I can't tell you exactly what it is, but I'll just give you the acronym, L-E-G-O.
Starting point is 00:20:11 That's just spelling it. I don't know. That's above my pay. I don't think it stands for it. These were just two of the incredible new high-tech products featured at the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas. You're going to find out what they are and how your life is going to change forever coming up right after this. Ladies and gentlemen, the future is now. Wow.
Starting point is 00:20:34 It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Is it tomorrow? No, it's now. Isn't it the present? I know. Don't wait anymore. It's the week that I've been waiting for for a long time. My co-host probably forgot or they've been drinking or both.
Starting point is 00:20:49 But yesterday, the big consumer electronics show, CES, kicked off in Las Vegas. Oh, yeah, it's like the Nerd Olympics. Let's go. We try to cover it every year because they feature some of the coolest new tech and gadgets that are going to be available to the public. And it gives us a little glimpse of what the future might look like. So are you guys ready to hear this? these, the new products that are coming out soon? Yes. Gosh, give us
Starting point is 00:21:14 something useful, Jeff. Let's go through them. A company called VinaBot came up with Talking AI Picture Frames. What? And they're not just talking randomly at you. Apparently, you can actually hold conversations with
Starting point is 00:21:31 the people in the pictures. So they read Harry Potter and came up with an idea? It's exactly where it comes from, Brooke. They were inspired by the talking paintings in Harry Potter. And if you're wondering, they cost around $300 each and could be available in just the next two or three years. I don't need to be arguing with the picture frames in my house too. You don't have to argue with them. You can flirt with them.
Starting point is 00:21:56 Oh. Don't need that. Every time you walk by, it's like, flag, girl. Damn. Look at that. What is, I mean, do you program it to say what you want? No. They're just smart. Oh.
Starting point is 00:22:07 You can just hold a conversation with them. Whatever you want, Brooke. What's creepy? What if it's bipolar and it yells at me one day? The next day I love me. I don't know. I'm going to put a family photo up and make us all have accents. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:22:19 How fun would that be? You're talking to yourself? Next up is a company called eye polish who created color-changing fingernails. And according to their website, they have a patent pending digital press-on acrylic nails with Bluetooth in them so you can change the color of your nails just through your iPhone. That's nice. How waterproof are these things, though? Can you wash your hands?
Starting point is 00:22:43 No washing your hands at all. Okay. Yeah, you could just change one nail at a time or all of them together. You can have over 300 different shades to choose from. And the starter kit is just $95. Oh, that's good, Alexis, because your nails didn't cost too much already. I mean, yeah. And rumor is your nails will be able to hold conversations with you.
Starting point is 00:23:08 All-A-I is moving in the exact same direction. If you're lonely, you got 10 fingers. There you go. What other new tech is coming? This is something I know Brooke's going to love. What? A company called Vovo created a toilet that calls for help. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:23:22 Why? Why would it call for help? Well, apparently it's geared more towards the senior citizens in your family. Oh. Because the commode is equipped with smart sensors on it. So let's say somebody that's in like an old folks apartment has one and they haven't used it in like eight to 10 hours. What? The toilet will alert your phone.
Starting point is 00:23:40 family that your loved one may need help or it may say please bring more toilet paper or just bruines. They're backed up. Yes. Hey buddy, I'm hungry. Exactly. Basically a life alert for potty time. I feel like I'd get so many false alerts.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Maybe you're using it too much, Brooke. Yeah, that'd be mine. I was thinking about my dad. If you're just joining us, we're giving you a peek into the future. Wow. With some of the craziest new technology that was featured at the Consumer Electronics. show in Vegas. Next up,
Starting point is 00:24:12 look who's getting in on the action. Lego has shown up to CES. I just saw all this yesterday. It is awesome. Because they're debuting something they call Lego Smart Bricks. Oh, good, because we weren't buying the toys to get the kids
Starting point is 00:24:28 off of the idea. For example, if you're building a Lego set and you follow the instructions and you put certain blocks together, they'll light up and make different sounds and noise. Like if you're building a car, the Legos will make the engine sound for you. And they showed an example and it's literally like, and I'm like, that would be so fun as a kid to like build a little car.
Starting point is 00:24:51 Isn't that the whole point as a kid to like make the noises and then take it apart and make things out of you? I don't know, imagination. That's a lot of pressure on children. Take the pressure off the kids. To make a car noise? Yes, that's too much. They're hybrids now. There's different sounds.
Starting point is 00:25:05 You're stressing their children. There's no standard way. Come on. He's trying to shift into third. Less smart crap for kids is a good idea. I want dumb toys, Jeff. They say Lego Smart Bricks are going to bring creations to life like never before, and they're going to launch this March with three new Star Wars sets.
Starting point is 00:25:27 Oh, that's the best way to do it. I'm sorry, those aren't for kids. Those are like $5,000. And they're for the 35-year-old guy. Literally for me. Yes. Still, very cool. What else is at the consumer?
Starting point is 00:25:39 electronic show this year. A lot of AI. AI mirrors that can help you do your makeup. AI powered hair clippers where you choose a hairstyle on the app and the blades auto adjust so that you can use it and get the style you want. Do you guys remember the floby? It was like a haircut thing that you attached to a vacuum cleaner and it said that it can cut. It's like the same thing to me.
Starting point is 00:26:02 Nobody nobody had a good haircut after a floby. What about the first ever AI robot vacuum that can climb stairs? The legs pop out of it like a little spider And it crawls up the steps Here's a photo of it, it's adorable It's like if your Panini press had legs The legs look like little saws Yeah, I think it's scary
Starting point is 00:26:25 But can you be supportive of one piece of technology That's going to be coming out soon? Just one Yeah, I liked the first thing What was it? Oh no, the second thing, the nails Oh, the nails That's right That's fine.
Starting point is 00:26:40 And finally, I'm so glad that they're making this. It's from a brand called Lollipop Star. They created candy suckers that play music. Why? They have those where you push a little button at the bottom and it spins around. That's ancient crap. This is the high-tech stuff. It's not music that comes out of a tiny speaker.
Starting point is 00:27:00 Each flavor plays a different song using bone conduction technology that sends vibrations through your jaw. So the music only plays inside of your head, not out loud. That will make you feel crazy. You can't buy them yet. You have to join a wait list because they're so popular. But once they're available, you can purchase them for $9 each. What if you get one where you hate the song?
Starting point is 00:27:24 That's a bummer. Future looks sticky and I love it. Those were your brand new tech products featured at the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas this week. Text in to 78592 and tell us which item you'd. want to buy. Your phone tap's coming up right after this. It's time for your phone tap and anybody listening who wants to prank their significant other should know this. One of the best times to do it is right when they get a new job. Oh, yeah. Because they're eager and they want to be extra polite and super accommodating. And we're devious here on the show because we see weakness in that. And we know we can
Starting point is 00:28:03 go after that vulnerability. Like the guy we call today. I mean, he's He hasn't met anybody yet at his new job. He's going to believe that I work there and that I'm his direct supervisor. It's so scary. And yeah, my first request is going to be a little weird, but he's going to have to deal with it politely in your phone tap right now. Brooke and Jeffrey's phone taps on the 20s. Hello? Hey, I'm looking for John.
Starting point is 00:28:30 Yeah, this is John. Who's this? Hey, this Casey. I'm going to be one of your supervisors when you start next week over at A. Oh man, yeah, happy to be here. I just want to get some things that need to be on your to-do list. Okay, yeah, let me grab a pen. Perfect.
Starting point is 00:28:48 So what we're doing, I need you to do. It's kind of like a holiday-ish message that I need you to write to my children. Wait, wait, what? Their names are Leo and Samantha. They're six and seven. Okay, are you writing this down? Okay. and Samantha 6 and 7
Starting point is 00:29:06 This is My kids, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah I got that But what are you asking me to do? Right, so basically They got really spoiled This last holiday
Starting point is 00:29:16 Got way too many presents So I'm gonna need you To write a letter Threatening to take their toys away Um Mm You writing that down? Yeah, no
Starting point is 00:29:29 Not writing down I'm confused I'm really confused Uh Okay. How does this have to do with work? It's just you understand parenting isn't easy. Sure. And coming from someone else, that message is going to be so much more effective.
Starting point is 00:29:46 Yeah. Because, you know, they don't listen to us anymore as parents. They basically run the house now. They eat a ton of sugar. They go to bed whatever time they want. They watch all the bad movies on TV. Right. But I'm not going to tell your kids that I'll take their toys away.
Starting point is 00:30:02 I'm in marketing. Okay, well, technically, I hate to stop you there, but technically you're correct. You will be writing the letter, but you're going to sign it under another name. Grundlebuck. Grundlebuck. Yeah, me and the wife made that name up. It's kind of like a stateside version of Crampus from Europe, you know, like the mean Christmas guy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:24 I think he eats kids over there. Yeah, yeah, I get it. Good, good, because, you know, the kids, they'll recognize our handwriting. they're pretty smart now. That's why we'd have you write the letter. Right. Right. And I had a cinnamon roll this morning, and I told my wife, you know, we have this new guy who's going to be starting at the company named John. And she was like, ooh, John sounds like he could be Grundel Buck. Man, that is a great idea.
Starting point is 00:30:53 Thank you. But I'm thinking maybe is there any way that I don't have to be the one that does this? Oh, do you mean write the letters or not wear the costume? Oh, I didn't know there's a costume. Yeah. I mean, how else are we going to scare them at their windows at night? Oh, this is borderline. Genius, I know, yes.
Starting point is 00:31:16 Yeah, I was going to take too much. Oh. I work in marketing, and this was not part of the job that I applied for. Oh, I'll hate to stop you again, but did you see the part where we? said that we need a creative person who goes the extra mile. Yeah, for the company. Well, yes, exactly. Grundelbuck falls under that umbrella.
Starting point is 00:31:39 So you're saying that I really have to do this. Yes. And Leo, by the way, he loves his PlayStation right now. So let's start with your first threatening message about that. I want to hear what you say. He's serious. Yeah, and remember, Leo's been very naughty. What did he do?
Starting point is 00:31:57 Well, he hasn't done anything yet. but the steak knives are missing from the kitchen. Okay. Listen, listen, I don't want to be involved in this. You don't want to be involved in a prank phone call on the radio? Yeah, no, I don't want to be involved in writing letters, prank phone calls. I don't want to be a part of any of it, okay? I would love to work for the company, but...
Starting point is 00:32:17 John, I think you're missing what I said. This isn't real. This isn't the company you're going to work for. My name is Jeff from Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. What? Your wife, Jenna, set you up for a phone tap on the wrong. radio. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:32:35 That was the dumbest I've ever heard of. You fell for it, though. So you got to look at yourself. Oh, my God. How did you even know I? Oh, she said it up. Yeah, because she told us that you got a new job in marketing and thought we could mess with you about it.
Starting point is 00:32:49 I fell for Grundelbach, too. I was about to look him up. No, you don't have to look him up. I have the costume all ready for you. What? You're your large? I can't wait to scare my boss. his children. Now I'm glad we hired you. Oh,
Starting point is 00:33:03 yeah. Broken Jeffrey's phone taps on the 20s. We are about to speak with maybe the bravest man our show has ever talked to. Wow. Because if what happened to him had happened to me, I wouldn't breathe a word of it
Starting point is 00:33:19 to anybody ever. Oh. Not to my best friend. Okay. Not to my mom. Not to my parole officer or the guy I paid a dress up as one. Nobody's hearing about. You tell that guy everything. I sure do.
Starting point is 00:33:33 I'm hoping look. One man is willing to retell his story of the most embarrassing date night of his life in the hopes that it might get him another shot with the woman that he likes. Will it be worth the public self-humiliation? We're going to find out in a brand new second date update right after this. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. Brooke, in the history of it.
Starting point is 00:33:59 of doing this segment, what is the biggest disaster date you ever remember hearing from a listener? Oh, that's a big question. I know. I know. Dude, pooping accidentally in the back of a cab. Oh. Do you guys remember that one? I might have all poop too behind a tree and a park.
Starting point is 00:34:16 That's the one that I remember. Yeah, remember the guy. No, this was, there was too much alcohol. Oh, and the girl. Yes. Okay. Yes. I feel like this was before my time.
Starting point is 00:34:26 It was. Yeah, it was like a decade ago. I would be traumatized by this if I was here. It stuck with me to this day. Wow. A lot of like bodily functions involved in terrible disaster dates on this show. It's like the worst nightmare of any woman. Well, we have a guy on the phone who thinks he may take the crown for the new number one most embarrassing date of all time.
Starting point is 00:34:50 His name is Nick. Oh, God. And let's welcome him to the show for this moment. Nick, how you doing, man? Oh, I'm good. I mean, I'm okay. How are you? Good morning. Hopefully we made you feel better with those two stories because you're like it can't be that bad, right?
Starting point is 00:35:07 Oh, this one's pretty gnarly. If it involves any bathroom thing, hang up now. No, we want to hear. Yeah, whatever's going on. Let's start from the beginning of the story, at least. What's the name of the girl that you met? Yeah, her name's Crystal. I met her on a dating app.
Starting point is 00:35:22 Okay. We went to the zoo lights. I mean, we had a Christmas-y zoo light. Everyone should do that. It's a really fun walk through. I like the zoo in the dark personally, but that's okay. How can a day at the zoo lights go bad? You know, they have some like mold wine.
Starting point is 00:35:39 Oh, too many kids around. Did you say mold wine? Yeah, mold wine is a moldy wine? M-U-L-L-E-D. M-U-L-L-E-D. Oh, mold. Yeah. Yes.
Starting point is 00:35:49 I heard M-O-L-D. Whatever. I mean, I would drink that too. Yeah, I know you would. Okay. It just permits a little more. But yeah, so tell us how zoo lights went, Nick. I mean, we definitely had some drinks, you know, and we hit it off great, but the thing was it was just like only one bathroom there.
Starting point is 00:36:05 Uh-oh. Oh, no, I don't like where this is going. Probably a big line. This is a bathroom thing. This is the embarrassing part. Uh-oh. So, like, all the way in the back, and the bathroom's like all the way in the front. Oh, you're in the back of the zoo and you have to go all the way to the front to get.
Starting point is 00:36:18 Right, right. And it's kind of like raining hard. My body's like telling me like, yo, dude, you got to go, man. Oh, no. Oh, no. Can we ask number one or two or does it even? No, no, don't ask. We need that.
Starting point is 00:36:27 I don't want to know. I mean, the animals in the zoo can go wherever they want. I'm sure human policy has to be similar. Yeah, why can't you just do in the middle of the pathway and be like, I think what the giraffes got out? It's a good point. There must be an incredible pooper-scooper at 80s. I feel like they'd be used to them. For the elephant?
Starting point is 00:36:44 Yes. So what happens? So, like, I'm asking the employees. I'm like, hey, man, where's the bathroom? Where's the bathroom? Like, 20 minutes that way. 20 minutes this. Oh, like, you go.
Starting point is 00:36:52 Like, really far. Geez. That's a hike. I'm like, dude, I got to go. Like, I got to go now. I'm not going to make. it in 20 minutes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:00 Yeah. Wait, and is your day still with you, or have you left her, like, back at a table or something? No, no, no. She's, like, looking for me, helping me. Oh, no. Oh, you're both trying to track down the bathroom for you. And you're trying to be cool, but you can't. Right.
Starting point is 00:37:14 Like, trying to play it off. But we find an employee bathroom, right? And then I just tell her, like, hey, just wait right here and I'll be right back. Uh-huh. But I don't know if she heard me because once I went, it was gnarly. And then when I came out of the bathroom, I saw her just. standing in the bathroom and I'm like, whoa, like you were here the whole time. Like, what do you get?
Starting point is 00:37:33 Wait, wait, wait, wait. She was like right outside the stall. She was by the sink and her eyes were like big, you know, and I'm just like, what do you do it? That's probably horrified. Oh, my God. Or smell? I don't know what's going.
Starting point is 00:37:46 All of it. Why was she in there? She goes, oh, I didn't want to get caught by the employee standing outside of the bathroom. That actually makes sense. Actually, yeah. She's sick in instead of being out there lingering. I'm just like, oh, my God, dude, I really. just like,
Starting point is 00:37:59 that's something like you have to be married for 10 years to be in the same room for her. No, not even then. You don't do it then. If you want your marriage to last, I'm sorry. I know people have different opinions, but I say that it's a hard no.
Starting point is 00:38:13 Yeah. Eating lunch on the toilet, that's okay in Brooks' mind. By yourself. But release. Not with your partner there. That's for sure. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:38:22 I mean, she like said like she covered it years, but I'm just like, she said that. She had to say that. You know, she was trying to make me feel better. Like, look at the lights. They're shaped like a tiger. And I'm just like, dude, you just heard me.
Starting point is 00:38:37 Oh. I mean, dude, you could be the hottest guy in the world. That's really, yeah, almost impossible. Hey, hey. Okay, but hear this. It even gets crazier. Watch, like, we start leaving, right? And we're, like, heading back to the house or whatever.
Starting point is 00:38:51 I'm dropping her off. And to make things worse, I got to stop and go again to the bath. Oh, no. On the drive home, you had to pull over? Yes, and then I told her don't follow me in this time Did she laugh? That's pretty funny I don't know, I was just out the door I was just like I had to get out of here
Starting point is 00:39:09 Oh no Oh wow Sounds like you maybe had a nervous tummy issue Yeah I mean you weren't lying when you said that could be The number one disaster date story So I hope you It's hard to recover from
Starting point is 00:39:23 I mean do you even ask like if there was a kiss Or a plan for a second date Yeah you know what I didn't even go in for the hug when we said goodbye. I just felt bad. We had to, like, ignore that. Oh, my God. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:35 She's been true enough. Yeah, but she's a good person for trying to make you feel better. You know what I mean? She wasn't quiet after. We should mock you mercilessly like we would have. Yeah. I like that about her, you know? That's why we hit it off.
Starting point is 00:39:48 I feel awkward and maybe it's in my head. I don't know. It's not in your head. Yeah. It's in a string of restrooms leading from the, zoo back to your house. You poor thing. Okay.
Starting point is 00:40:01 Yeah, man, I mean, sometimes you set a tone, like you may be bathroom boy to her and her friend group right now and you'll never recover. Yeah, that makes me so worse. I really hope she's not calling me bathroom boy with his friend. We hope that too. I thought bathroom boy would be the nicest nickname. That's what I'm thinking. I would have gone a lot more brutal than that.
Starting point is 00:40:18 Let's find out what nickname she actually uses when we call Crystal in just a few minutes here and try and get you your second date update. I don't really know if that's the goal, guys. Maybe it's not your goal, but it's our goal. When we do the second date update, next. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. If you're just joining us for the second date update,
Starting point is 00:40:39 let's hit the highlights of Nick's first date with Crystal. Oh, man, maybe we just get this. I mean, there's one, I think. They went to zoo lights together. That's a highlight. That's it. It's pretty much all the highlights. She was really kind.
Starting point is 00:40:53 Yes. And the glowing tiger. There was a glowing tiger that was kind of cool. All the lights had like tiger. He didn't see it, but she did. The low lights include a very embarrassing bathroom incident where Crystal witnessed more than she probably wanted to inside of an employee restroom. Not just witness, she got the whole thing. If you have to say I covered my ears afterwards.
Starting point is 00:41:16 Yeah, that's really all that needs to be said, I think. And there was a second bathroom stop on the drive home. Luckily, she did not attend that one. As far as we know. Anyway, it's been two weeks, and while Nick's body has finally settled down, his mind is going crazy, wanting another chance, right, Nick? Yeah, I mean, all I can think about is, like, why did I do this? And how did I screw it up so bad? But the thing is, none of it's your fault.
Starting point is 00:41:44 It's a situation. Like, that's a problem. Like, your body just defied you. You guys think, like, if this doesn't work out, I could do, like, an awkward Tuesday thing where I, like, sue the zoo or something? Sue the zoo? For you not being able to get to the bathroom in time? They should have more bathrooms instead of one. There's probably been a lot of kids that have also gone all over the place.
Starting point is 00:42:06 That's true. That's a good point. It's like the only time in my life I seriously wish I just like had old man diapers. No. That smell. No. No. You imagine the dinner table.
Starting point is 00:42:19 It's your face look like that. You can always do it on a future day. Don't quit on yourself. But here we go. Yeah, don't give up. Nick, I'm going to dial her number right now. now. Hi, is this Crystal?
Starting point is 00:42:38 Yes, it is. Who is this? Hey, Crystal. This is a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Hi, Crystal. Hi, Crystal. Good morning. The whole show's here. Okay. I know it's probably weird
Starting point is 00:42:51 that we're reaching out to you out of the blue, but we're doing something called a second date update. Okay. Why? Because one of our listeners said they went out on a very interesting. date with you about two weeks ago. They said embarrassing. Well, I was trying to sugarcoat it.
Starting point is 00:43:09 Yeah. I mean, she knows. Yeah, that's true. A zoo lights date with a guy named Nick. Oh, my God. Yeah. Appropriate response. Oh, he told us everything, I think. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:43:24 Why would he tell you that? I mean, that's kind of how this works. We asked Nick to give us some details about your hangout so we could kind of gauge how it went. Yeah, that was kind of how we responded to when we heard it, but we were curious to hear your take on the night. Oh, God. Well, just start with how it started. I mean, were you excited about Nick?
Starting point is 00:43:44 Can we start? I mean, I want to start with the good stuff, right? Sure, you don't want to get right to the bathroom part, Brooke? No. I just feel like if we're going to set him up for success, we have to remind her that at some point, I think you probably liked him, right? Crystal. Remember the good times? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:00 Um, I was excited about the date. It was a cute little wholesome date we were going on. And then it just kind of took a turn. Yeah. Turn right through that employee-only door. Can I ask, though? Can I just ask for quick, why after you maybe heard what was happening in the stall, did you not just run out of the bathroom real quick?
Starting point is 00:44:23 And, like, act like you were never in there? You know, I think I was just kind of in shop. Oh, is that bad? Like, I had gone into the bathroom because I didn't want to get caught by the employees. I didn't want us to get kicked out. I didn't think what was going to happen, what was going to happen. Sure. And it's probably like witnessing a car accident where it's horrifying,
Starting point is 00:44:42 but at the same time, you can't look away. Yeah. All of traffic comes to a crawl. Yeah. Yeah. It smells so bad you had to call your insurance. Okay. I mean, that's what we thought is this must be the reason that you haven't been
Starting point is 00:44:55 staying in contact with Nick after your hangout. Yeah. I mean, like, I know it's not his fault, but I can't get that out of my mind. Oh, man. Okay. I mean, that's understandable. They always say first impressions, and that's, unfortunately, his.
Starting point is 00:45:12 Yeah. Yeah, not to... Big impression. Not to shock you with any more crazy information, but I do need to let you know that Nick has been listening to this phone call on the other line, waiting to jump in and surprise you. Again, another surprise. He's secretly waiting this time.
Starting point is 00:45:30 Yeah. Yeah. That's true. What are you, Chip? Are you joking? No. No, unfortunately. Nick, are you there? Hey, what's up? It's bathroom boy. Oh, don't give yourself that nickname, Nick.
Starting point is 00:45:42 He's owning it. He's kidding. Come on. Dude, what are you doing? You're like making this way worse for yourself. I mean, Nick, you feel bad that happened. Of course I feel bad. I thought that we had a connection. I just had like a bathroom emergency. I mean, look at it like this. What if the rolls were reversed?
Starting point is 00:45:59 And you went to the bathroom. And it's like, you don't even. have to really go to the bathroom. You can make all the noise that I'd still be attracted to you. What? That's not the argument you think it is. Are you throwing out a hypothetical?
Starting point is 00:46:11 Are you actually suggesting that this happens? What's even at the score? I'm just trying to get us back on track, you know? That's not the way. It's good. I mean, maybe let's... The better idea, Crystal, right, is like, maybe we can forget this happen and start fresh.
Starting point is 00:46:27 I don't know. It's up to Crystal, which one she prefers, Crystal? I mean, he's... It's like this whole thing could have just been between me and Nick and now it's on the radio. Like, I just don't understand why you thought it would be better to bring this thing to public space. Like, I'm just, it's weird. This is weird. Because you weren't answering him, Crystal.
Starting point is 00:46:49 So I didn't know what to do. Yeah, I had to get them professional help. And it shows, doesn't it show, Crystal, that he's a guy who's willing to be vulnerable and share embarrassing stuff with other people. People, like, you want that in a person and a partner, right? I mean, Crystal, just hearing all this, I'm thinking a little bit is kind of on you. Did you not offer him toilet paper underneath the stall? Oh, stop. If you're going to be in there being supportive, you should really support him.
Starting point is 00:47:17 That is true. Most help you look for the bathroom, though. She did help you locate the bathroom, yeah. Crystal's not even talking anymore. Yeah, I don't know. Chris, are you still there? Yeah, no, I'm still here. I'm just wondering if this is, like, a real thing.
Starting point is 00:47:29 Like, is this really happening right now? Yeah. You're in just as much shock as if you were standing in that bathroom all over again. You don't know what to say. Even more shocking, this is like top-tier radio for us. This is a great segment. Is that because I don't think your show is doing that well? Okay.
Starting point is 00:47:44 This is what we're bringing. Maybe this will be your memory now instead of that other memory. You know? Oh, yeah, the radio. Yes, because we're already at the ultimate low point of this relationship. There's only upwards to go from here. Yeah. And that type of optimism.
Starting point is 00:48:01 is what I hope influences you to say yes when I offer to send you two out on another date. But before we get your answer, Crystal, Nick, do you have any last words that you want to share? Well, you know, I do want to say, Crystal, when I went to the bathroom the second time, it was a lot less gnarlier than the first time. When I went the first time, it was just,
Starting point is 00:48:22 I was like holding it in for a lot of it. No more details. Why would you give her, what? That was an aberration, Crystal. Going forward, it's all going to be normal. Nick, your statement should have been about how great she is and how much you want to see her again. This might have worked, though.
Starting point is 00:48:37 Let's find out. Crystal, do you want to go out with Nick after hearing that one more time? Just don't get them tacos or anything. Look, like, Nick, I'm sure you're a nice guy, but I got to be honest. Even if you paid me money to go, I would still say no. No, it was not necessary. That was absolutely.
Starting point is 00:48:55 It was harsh. You're just giving you dinner. So you're telling me out the comparison between the first bathroom and the second bathroom wasn't convincing at all. No, Nick. It wasn't. I'm glad she clarified. Nick, this is the state of the dating
Starting point is 00:49:12 world, judgy women. I was thinking that maybe he needs to check where the restrooms are before he plans his next date. Actually, that's a good point, too. You know what, dude, it's fine. I'm just going to sue the zoo. There's no way that they should have one bathroom. Next Tuesday on our show.
Starting point is 00:49:29 It's going right up to the Supreme court with that one. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. There must be some type of global restroom app out there that starts beeping an alarm when you're farther than five minutes away from any public bathroom. I don't know about that, but there is a public restroom app for sure. Is there? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:47 Did you create it, Brooke? No, I did. Is it for big up to Brooke? You created it to meet up with you? I'm like a camel, dude. I can wait for hours before I need to go. Dude, I'm like a rabbit. I'm peeing right now.
Starting point is 00:49:58 Well, everybody needs to get that. bathroom app because I swear we have more dates ruined on this show by bathroom breaks than anything else. It is weird at the beginning of this when you ask the most like horrific date stories we remember from doing it and Jose and I both said bathroom issues. Exactly. And then the guy on the phone. Not only that. If someone never just goes to the bathroom real quick, bad stuff happens. They check their phone. They get numbers from the waiter. Nothing good happens when you use the bathroom on a date. So just don't do it. Okay. Yep. Hold it.
Starting point is 00:50:30 I don't know that that's healthy, but yes. All right. That's our best advice. But I'll tell you good things always happen when you subscribe to our podcast. Dang. Apple, Spotify, wherever you get yours, you can find us at Brooke and Jeffrey. Has anybody here noticed random office supplies slowly disappearing from the workplace? No.
Starting point is 00:50:52 I didn't even know we had any to start. Yeah. Me neither. Especially if management is listening to this. Are you stealing the office? Office pins and stay closed? No, absolutely not, Brooke. And I don't ever see Brooke leaving work with a big duffel bag full of commercial-grade printer toner.
Starting point is 00:51:11 That's never happened. I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, me either. And I know Alexis would never take office paper clips home to use as cheap bobby pins for her hair. No, or to, you know, help tighten my straps on my clothes. No. They are not helpful for that at all. You only get the highest quality stuff.
Starting point is 00:51:32 See, I'm just glad that there's cameras in studio rolling for my new song of the week. And if the footage cuts out for a minute or two and some of the lights in studio go missing, I'm sure there's a logical explanation during my brand new song of the week. It's coming up. Where my mic go? It is time for my song of the week. The first one of the new year. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Starting point is 00:52:01 And usually around this time, you'll look around on your social media and you'll see all kinds of motivational sayings that people are posting. Like, be the change you want to see. That's nice. And new year, new opportunities, you just got to show up and take them. Okay. Let's go, Jeff. My motto, why don't you shut up and shove them?
Starting point is 00:52:23 Yes. Because, I mean, listen, I'm all about setting personal goals. making a plan, but when you know you're falling way, way short, instead of just continuing to lie to yourself and saying, oh, you know what, I'll do it tomorrow. Maybe instead you should just give up now. Yeah, that's a fair. I was going to say set the bar lower, but like we're just getting rid of the bar. No, give up now.
Starting point is 00:52:52 You're a middle school soccer coach. Isn't that like part of one of your halftime speeches? That's totally what I told the ground. That's what they need to hear. Kids, we're losing it at a half. Save your energy for pizza after. Why try? Thank you, Brooke. And especially for adults, the last thing they need is to be slogging on the treadmill for hours and hours trying to beat an insurmountable calorie deficit.
