Hey, I'm Kyle McLaughlin. You might know me as that guy from Twin Peaks, Sex and the City, or just the Internet

stand. I have a new podcast called What Are We Even Doing, where I embark on a noble quest to understand the brilliant chaos of youth culture. Each week, I invite someone fascinating to join me to talk about navigating this high-speed rollercoaster we call reality. Join me and my delightful guests every Thursday. And let's get weird together in a good way. Listen to what are we even doing on the IHeart radio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to the brand new full show. Wednesdays are my favorite. They just are. You say this every Wednesday, Brooke. I know. I have a feeling she gets home on Saturday and tells her kids, this is my favorite day.

I know. Well, it's like the day I get to find out what's going on in your guys's life. And it's usually dramatic. or really stupid or funny. And I like that. And the one time we get to hear about Jeff's life. Ever. Really?

Yeah. We get to talk to Jeff. Yeah. So a brand new what's on your mind is coming up, and I think you're going to love it. Second date, we got a brand new one of those, new phone tap. So sit back and enjoy the next hour. But first, what's on their mind? What's on our listener's mind, Alexis?

Well, year or two slow, Sega said, I love that. I said it once, and I'll say it again, Digital Jake has vocals for names. Yay. We love Jake. My streaming community is like Jake. fan club. They love Digital Jake. Don't you even try to take the president title away from my mother?

Oh, wow. That's the number one fan. My mom texts me every morning. That Jake, he is so funny. He is, and I hope you guys know in real life, too. He's a great dude. He's so fun. He's funny. Yeah, and tall. Let's give him his flowers. And tall. And it's very tall. Very tall. Yeah, one tall member of our show.

He's the tallest. Yeah. All right, here we go. Your brand new full hour starts right now. If you've lived with someone for long enough, there is nothing that you haven't argued over. Oh, yeah. And that includes smells.

It's broken jeffrey in the morning. Smell fights, they don't get enough media coverage, if you ask me. Everyone always talks about, oh, financial problems, and, oh, you watch a Netflix show without me, but smells are important because, according to a new

survey, 58% of people say they've gotten into a heated argument with a partner, roommate, or family member over a recurring smell, like lingering trash smells. Oh, yeah. Because one person likes it or like I'm not agreeing it's bad. Or maybe because the person didn't take out the trash like they said they would. Yeah.

Post-JimStink. Oh. Or why does your car smell like Burger King again? Oh, yeah. That's a distinct smell. Like, I smell a whopper about. I can't. I don't remember.

I mean, I've been into a lot of arguments in my time with my husband. You've never had a smell fight? I don't like so. I feel like your nose is always plugged up, bro. 41% of people in relationships say they've directly called out their partner for something stinky that they're not taking care of. Oh, wow. That seems very problematic. Meanwhile, on the other side of it, 59% admit to secretly cleaning, spraying, or airing out a smelly thing to try and get rid of the odor or hide it from the other person in their home.

So it's like when you spray cologne onto your giant pile of laundry Instead of actually doing it I mean that's more thoughtful than not dealing with it at all But in conclusion smell fights are real And they deserve more public attention In public discussion I'm glad you're bringing this to the forefront Yes

Is this like anyone been like you need to shower? Like are we talking like all of that You have bad breath I will say when my husband eats onions it's Yes. Two days of bad breath from that guy's. I don't know what it is. Yeah, raw onion on that guy's mouth is just not good. It's kryptonite.

Yeah, it is. And when you go for a month without showering, he doesn't say anything to you. He can't smell her because of the onion. Yeah. We're in it together. All right, well, the struggle is real. Shrek and Fiona over here. It's so romantic. Now let's move on. We're going to get into the shock collar question of the day with a man

whose voice sounds exactly like how he smells. Jake, show them what we're talking about here. A vanilla and lavender, I'll tell you. Smell like Kermit. Ooh. Pour yourself a peanut butter martini

because today is National Nut Day. Oh. I don't know, but sorry to all the allergies out of it. National Nut Day is the holiday where we celebrate everything from almonds to macadamias

to that one family member who thinks Bigfoot stole his lawnmower. What a nut. He's a nut. I saw it. Nuts come in all shapes and sizes. It's a thinker. In fact, some, I'm glad everyone enjoyed that.

Yeah, I loved it, Jay. Some nuts aren't actually nuts at all, but we just toss the word in there anyway because we love nuts so much. And that's why today, we're doing a special certified nutcase edition of 2020. Now, you say number 1 through 20, I'll ask you a question where the correct answer has the word nut somewhere in it. Okay. Okay. You just have to say it correctly to stay in the game. We'll start with the woman who named her cross-country music playlist, the trail mix.

Hey! That's a good one, Jake. I love puns. I would totally do that. That's an actual, and I double check. Alexis, number 11. Your nut hint is, this nut rolls deep, usually in dozens. What nut am I talking about?

I don't even know where to start with it. I don't understand. Holds deep. What's a deep nut? Deep nut. In dozens. But the answer isn't just a nut. It's a word with a nut in it. It's got nuts somewhere in it. It could be a nut. It could be a phrase.

This one is easy. Is it? I don't get it. Say it again. Rolls deep and there's dozens. This nut rolls deep usually in dozens. I need an answer. Ashton's shaking his head. Dow rolls in the deep. Okay. Is it Dell a nut?

Nope, but we're going to Dow. She's 12 Adel's Her middle name's nuts For National Nut Day I ask people to name something With the word nut in it Alexis has chosen to answer Adele

That is incorrect This nut rolls was the operative word Because it's round And it comes in dozens It's a doughnut A dozen donut Does everyone understand what we're doing here Are we awake now

That was a riddle Jake I'm sorry I'm rolled my donuts Like that was kind of It's round like a wheel It was it is round Oh, but you roll Adel? Weird, Brooke.

All right. Going to Brooke, 11's off the board. Okay, give me four. Say please. No. Interesting. Jose, let's move on to you until Brooke says please. We'll go to Brooke.

Brooke number four, your hint is this is the most aggressive Christmas decoration ever. Oh, well, this one's really easy. Oh, is this good enough for you, Brooke? This is a good hint this time. Let's hear all about how good the hint is. How about you just answer? I'd like to answer it. Please.

Okay, thank you. It's the nutcracker. Yeah, all right. Fantastic. Glad I could serve that up for you on a platter, which is also round. Such a good job today, Jay. Thanks. Not going nuts at all.

Jose, 4-11 are off the board. I'm going to go three because Nut has three letters. Oh, interesting. Good math. Jose, your hint is, in the movies, this person is proof that science can get wild. What nut am I talking about? Oh, does Brooke have this, Jose? You better get this really quick because Brooke has it already.

I wish you got mine, Brooke. And why, what was Dr. Doolittle? Who could speak to animals? That is Dr. Doolittle. Yeah. Now, okay, it's clued. That might have acted something with Jeffrey. Yeah, it did.

Nuddy Professor! There it is. Yes. You were knocking on the Eddie Murphy door. Yeah. Same guy. Eddie Murphy. Jeffrey, we're over to you.

Three, four, and eleven are off the board. We're talking nut words for National Nut Day. I respectfully request number 18, please. Thank you for being respectful and requesting your hint, Jeffrey. I'm like broke over here. America's most overdressed legume. Oh. What nut is this?

This is a good one. Well, if you're talking about a mascot of a famous nut, then that has to be classy Mr. Peanut. Oh, yeah. Mr. Peanut is correct. I feel like that was a mascot on in your school. All these are so much easier. Okay. No one knew what was going on with mine.

Yeah. That was crazy. Let's go to a time. This is for Jose Jeffrey and Brooke answer as soon as you know the answer. Okay. Your hint is this animated film proves even squirrels can commit grand larceny. Oh, oh, oh. What's the name of the film?

Yes. Ice age. It doesn't have nut in it. Ice nut in it. Uh, nut age. Anyone need an answer in five, four, three. I can do it. I'm sorry, all of you were incorrect.

I was looking for nut job, is the name of the movie. That's actually really cute. Everyone should watch that. That means, thanks to losing the tiebreaker, all of you lost, Alexis has won today's edition of. Plenty of 20. I've redeemed myself. The donut rolls all the way back around to Alexis so that she wins.

And you get to choose to get shocked while singing Sunflower. a type of nut by Post Malone I'm gonna go you Jeff because you only wanted to do the donut one It didn't help me I guess it's a seed not so much a nut But you know it's our listeners texting I love those Anyway here we go

Then you're left in the dust Unless I stuck by You're the sunflower I think you'll love a beat to my See sunflower Alternative for people who have nut allergies Yeah That's what they were going with

Fun fact that's your shot call a question of the day We got your phone tab coming up in just a few minutes. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. You ever have a dream that's so weird? It throws you off for the entire next day. Ooh, yeah. Interesting. That's what happened to me last night.

Whoa, what did you dream? All three of you were actually in my dream. Really? That's cool? That's normal. Yeah, but you weren't acting like yourselves. Oh. Like Alexis, you were in it and you were dating a guy from the United States.

No, what the heck? Are you okay? You didn't tell her this was a nightmare, Jeffrey. I know. And Jose, you came into work and didn't use the bathroom once all day. Oh, my God. I got to be right now. And then Brooke showed up to the office, and she was nice to everyone and remembered everybody's name.

I am nice, Seth. What is going on? Yeah, the name thing I can't claim. So, clearly, something is up with my brain. It is all wonky, and we're going to find out just how backwards when we go around the room for another edition of what's on your mind. That's coming up right now. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and why don't we trust pasta? What do you mean?

I trust it. I love pasta. Why do we need a tiny little window on every single box that proves there's really pasta in there? It's so true. I trust that it's in there. How come I need to see it? With mac and cheese, you can shake the box in here. But our rampant pasta insecurities are nothing

compared to our rampant personal insecurities. And we're going to share some of those right here for a brand new what's on your mind where we give you a tiny little window into our brains. So you can peek in and know what we've all been thinking about lately. Starting with Brooke. I don't even get it. What's on your mind?

Well, my husband has a new habit. And all around the house, everywhere I look, there are cups. And the cups, every single one of them, are filled with spit-out sunflower seeds. Well, we knew there weren't going to be filled with water because you don't let your children drink that. But spit-out sunflower seeds is gross. It's totally gross. And you can't even just dump it, right? Because they all stick to the side of the cup.

And you can't ritz it because you can't put him down the drain. I remember that from baseball. It's like a whole thing. And like it started in the spring when our kids were playing baseball because he got introduced to these new cool seeds that just don't hurt your mouth. Well, they have flavors. Like, sunflowers have a new game. He is ordering boxes of them. Like literally boxes of sunflower seeds are getting delivered to our doorstuffs.

How dare he find a food that he enjoys? That's terrible. All day long. And I'm going to tell you. One of the biggest turnoffs is watching your husband spit sunflower seeds into a cut. And when it's inaccurate and it like sticks to his lip, but he's... Yeah. And there's so many in his mouth at a time.

Oh, no. So what's the fix? It's a mess. I don't know, Jeff. I don't know, but it's got to stop. Cancel the credit card. Yeah, maybe cancel the literal crates of sunflower receipts. I'll bring him into you guys.

You guys can test them out. Maybe I just start giving them out to other people. Oh, yeah. Jose, what's been on your mind? Well, recently, I'm at a sports bar watching baseball with my bros. Okay. And they seed us right next to these little side doors, which was actually convenient because I like to go and get air.

Oh, okay, like outside doors. Yeah, and it's not an emergency exit. They're just like random side doors that aren't the main entrance. Yeah, yeah. So I asked the server, I'm like, hey, if I go out those doors, can I get back in? And she's like, ooh, there used to be a rock there. Okay, it'll walk if you go outside. Yeah.

So a little while happens, and I go and I get a phone call. Take it when I'm done. I'm like knocking on the door. No one hears me. Yeah, no one's watching the game. Right. Yeah. And so then finally, somebody's like, oh, oh, and they come and they let me in, right?

Yeah. So this probably happens like four to five times where I go outside. I'm locked out. Big plays are happening and I'm like, yeah. I'm like, let me in, let me in, let me in. Right, right, okay. The game is wrapping up and these ladies just casually walk in from the locked secret doors. Wait, hey.

Without being letting in. They're like, did they just? How did they get in? How did they just get to the door? Yeah. Were they not locked? The doors, I did not try one time to pull her push. Well, why would you?

The lady said they're lost. Yeah, she's like, oh, I think there's a rock, so I trusted her. So now these people think I don't know how to open a door, or I don't know how to read, pull. Alexis, what's been on your mind? So I don't know if I'm the best choice to be someone's caregiver. Oh, man. And I had a friend recently who had to go get surgery on their knee, so I took him to the hospital. I mean, already I'm agreeing with you.

Yeah. Yeah, this is a bad decision by your friend. Yeah. Uber was in bad head. I'm hanging out of them pre-op, you know. That's where it happens where they put the IV in. Him and I have a fear of needles. Oh, God.

So I'm in the corner wincing and screaming about the needle going into my friend. Just don't look. It's not even touching you. Exactly. My friend is like, please stop, Alexis, you're stressing me out. Oh, yeah. I don't get them nervous. The corner, okay.

So then I'm like, all right, I'm going to try to, like, cheer you up with something I can say. And I noticed there was a bunch of old people in there getting knee surgery, you know? Yeah. So I was like, think of all the old people in here. Like, if they can do it, you can do it. Don't be a baby. That didn't work. My friend was like, please, I don't want to know there's a bunch of old people in here also with me.

Yeah. So I felt bad about that. But the worst part is I've been in charge of helping cook. Oh, wow. Because we can't get out to cook for themselves. So last night, we had chicken nuggets and smiley-faced fries. Again, Uber-East. I'm sorry.

I have some leftover, so I think that's going to be the post-surgery meal as well. That's sweet. Hopefully they're still on drugs, so they won't realize that that's what they're eating again. But as I'm doing it, I'm realizing if anybody in this room gets sick and needs surgery, don't call me. You were never in my eyes. It's funny that you think that we would. Just maybe more drugs for your friend. Yeah.

Jeffrey, what's on your mind? So last week was my birthday. Yes. Birthday, buddy. You want to keep celebrating? Jesus, Jeff. I'm just telling you the story. For my birthday, I went to the grocery store.

store to buy myself a little chocolate cake. Oh, nice, huge. And I see one that I like in the bakery section. Yeah. But there's no workers there in the bakery area to help me, like, get it. It's in the glass. In the glass case. Okay, okay. So I probably wait there like five to ten minutes. Nobody comes.

Yeah. I mean, you got to go to the deli and ask them to get someone over to the bakery. It's exactly what I did. Meander it over the deli, which is right next to it. And I'm like, hey, could someone help me over at the bakery? It's my birthday. I just want to get a cake. Yeah. The deli work. You let them know it's your birthday. Yeah, I want them to know.

This is kind of important. So the deli worker looks at me and they're like, that's not my area. This is my area of the store. I don't do that. If you want some salami, I got you. You guys, they could easily just walk over and get you the cake. That's what I thought.

And I'm telling them, nobody's back there and he shrugs. He's just like, you know, just try shouting. If you shout him to the back, usually someone will hear you. They'll come. So I go to the bakery and I'm like, hello. Hello? It's my birthday. It's my birthday.

Can I get a cake, please? Meanwhile, several store employees walk by me. Oh. Ignoring my calls for help. No. You really want this cake at this. I've been there for almost a half an hour now, and I'm fully considering like going behind myself and boxing it up. But I can't find where they keep the boxes in the back.

So I give up and I go home cakeless on my birthday. That's so sad, Jeff. That was the worst celebration ever. We could have Alexis make you a cake. Oh, yeah, when I put the chicken nuggets in the air fire tonight, I'll make you a cake too. There we go. Kill me now. Okay.

That's what's on our minds. Text in to 7-8-5-9-2 and tell us what's been on yours. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. We're reading stuff off our text board at 7-8-5-9-2 because the listeners have been messaging us telling us what's on their mind. This one says, for many reasons today, I just want to say thanks to Alexis, smiley face, for being so open about going to therapy and take. taking care of her mental health.

It helps me feel not so awkward about myself. So Alexis, love you the most. Ha-ha, heart emoji. That's from Kimberly. Yes, Kimberly. That's so good. Your guys' generation's so good on that. Everyone's so open about therapy that we all have mental breakdowns.

I mean, our goal on the show isn't really to help people, but, you know, look at that. We did it anyway. Good for us. Good job, Alexis. Another text says, what's been on my mind is how sometimes, teachers' bathrooms are messier than the kids' bathrooms. How? It's disgusting. To go into an

elementary school bathroom. The boys is just all pee. The high schoolers, like, eat in there. I'm sorry, who's bouncing back and forth between the teachers and the children's bathrooms? I'm hoping that it's a custodian at the very least. Wait a minute. Sometimes you're volunteering at a school and you've just got to go. Yeah, I've used

both, unfortunately. Alexis, they're your size in the kids' ones, so I think that's fine. And another text, 78592 says, I often think of the Kool-Aid man, you never know when he will show up. Oh, it's kind of scary you think about. Don't you have to mention it?

Like a people juice scenario? Yeah. I don't know. Like bloody married type of thing. Like someone's got to be like, I can go for an ice cold glass of, I don't want to say it now. Probably not. Let's just be safe.

You just remodeled the studio. Although I really don't appreciate when our listeners do hallucinogenics this early in the morning. So maybe wait until noon to pill up. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Everybody loves the Little Mermaid. And yet, for some reason, no one ever wants to talk about Prince Eric and his wandering eye. Oh, wow.

Wait a minute, what do you mean? Let's not forget, while he was dating Ariel, I mean, Ariel is literally up in his castle taking a bath, getting ready for their date night. And what happens, Jeff? Where's Eric off canoodling with some hot brunette down on the beach? She hypnotized it. And what was Eric's excuse when you got caught? Oh, no, honey, I'm telling you. An evil sea witch with octopus legs

Cast a magic love spell on me And she was wearing a seashell necklace thing That had your voice, so I thought she was you I swear And you know what Ariel could say back? Nothing. And that's the problem. Don't change yourself for a man, ladies, okay?

And men come up with the worst excuses When they're caught, am I right? Yeah, from that one before. Almost as bad as the excuses are listeners here When they caught their exes cheating on. them. A human octopus stole my voice. I've just ready to dissect Little Mermaid now. But we could do that

too, Jeff. Let's hear what the Prince Eriks of the world have to say in a brand new busted that's coming up right after this. Okay, friends, real talk. You are worth the wait. We've all been there, giving our energy to connections that didn't honor ours, and watching friends do the same. And honestly,

we all deserve better. That's why Bumble is built for intentional dating. Safety is such a big deal for us all, especially when meeting new people. And Bumble gives you the peace of mind with options like photo and ID verification. That little extra step means you know the person you're talking to is who they say they are, with their real photos, and they are ready to show up authentically. And once you feel safe, you can actually focus on what matters, finding someone who gets you. With shared

interests, it's easy to see right away who vibes with your passions, whether that's true crime podcasts, yoga mornings, or weekend hikes. So take a pause, affirm your worth, and protect your peace. Bumble helps you create safe, meaningful connections, the kind that truly respect your boundaries, your energy, and your time. Thinking about dating again, take this as your sign. Start your love story on Bumble. In the new podcast, Hell in Heaven, two young Americans move to the Costa Rican jungle to start over. But one will end up dead. The other tried for murder.

Not once. People went wild. Not twice. Stunned. But three times. John and Ann Bender are rich and attractive, and they're devoted to each other. They create a nature reserve and build a spectacular circular home high on the top of a hill.

But little by little, their dream starts to crumble and our couple retreat from reality. They lose it, they actually lose it. They sort of went nuts. Until one night, everything spins out of control. Listen to Hell in Heaven on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Here we go. Hey, I'm Kelpen, and on my new podcast, Here We Go again. again, we'll take today's trends and headlines and ask, why does history keep repeating itself? You may know me as the second hottest actor from the Harold and Kumar movies, but I'm also an author, a White House staffer, and as of like 15 seconds ago, a podcast host. Along the way, I've made some friends who are experts in science, politics, and pop culture. And each week, one of them will be joining me to answer my burning questions. Like, are we heading towards another financial crash like in 2008? Is non-monogamy back in style? And how come there's never a gate ready for your

flight when it lands like two minutes early? We've got guests like Pete Buttigieg, Stacey Abrams, Lily Singh, and Bill Nye. When you start weaponizing outer space, things can potentially go really wrong. Look, the world can seem pretty scary right now, because it is. But my goal here is for you to listen and feel a little better about the future. Listen and subscribe to here we go again with Cal Penn on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Big Take podcast from Bloomberg News dives deep into one big global business story every weekday. A shutdown means we don't get the data, but it also means for President Trump that there's no chance of bad news on the labor market. What does a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich reveal about the economy?

Our breakfast foods are consistent consumer staples, and so they sort of become outsize indicators. of inflation. What's behind Elon Musk's trillion dollar payout? There's a sort of concerted effort to message that Musk is coming back. He's putting politics aside. He's left the White House. And what can the PCE tell you that the CPI can't? CPI tries to measure out-of-pocket costs that consumers are paying for things, whereas the PCE index that the Fed targets is a little bit broader of a measure. Listen to the big take from Bloomberg News every weekday afternoon on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

That's kind of the moral line most people take. Through me for a loop. Oh, it did. I was like, where's the good guy in this movie? You thought Diane was going to be the hero.

And one day in the middle of our session, my therapist just snaps and says, just tell her you're seeing somebody else already. Oh. They knew that? Turns out that he had been seeing somebody for six months, which very, let's just say it aligned with exactly how long we had been in therapy. Oh, no. Not the therapist, but the receptionist.

Alison, you're better off without him, it sounds like. Oh, yeah. Let's keep going. We're going to move over to Brent. Tell us how you busted your significant other. So, while I'm back, my girlfriend at the time, started taking these knitting classes. Oh, knitting. Oh, interesting.

Gateway to all affairs. Yeah. This has never been said in a cheating thing. It starts. What happened? Well, it caught me off guard, you know? Like you said, it sounds kind of innocent and awesome, right? Right.

She was getting really good at it. She was making a bunch of things, and she'd bring them home. And so one night I decided to surprise her on her. You know, she does this monthly. And it happened to land on her birthday, right? Oh, cute. Oh, okay. So you're going to go surprise her at knitting class.

Exactly, exactly. But even better than that. I was going to bring, like, a bunch of cupcakes for her in her little group. Oh, that's even better. The best boyfriend ever. Dang. Yeah, I thought, you know, to score me some brownie points. So I basically followed her over to this apartment, you know,

and I stayed kind of back so she didn't see me. Uh-huh. And I see which door she goes in, and then I wait a few minutes and yell, surprise. And she's sitting there on this guy's lap. What? Oh. And they're knitting together. Both of them were knit.

while she was sitting on his lap? Right. Maybe it's like in golf where you have to stand behind someone in order to teach them. You just sit and move their arms and teach you how to knit. That's like the hot knitting technique. So they were hooking up or they were just knitting? It gets better.

I look down and they're knitting lingerie together. What? Wow. Oh, wow. That's tough to knit. Nitted lingerie. I don't think it's lace. I think it's just, you know.

yarn and, you know. A yarn thong? You have any yarn laundry or a little more? Maybe it's just tassels. That's going to be itchy. Okay. Bull tassels. It looked crockless, I don't know.

It looked what? Crossless. Croxless. Oh, he really got in there to inspect it. That's good. You want to get the wrong idea. I want to make sure, you know. Yeah, no.

Make sure you get the full and get investigation in. Let's go and get one more. Nicole. Tell us how you busted jersey. significant other. We had a gym in our apartment and my boyfriend was always recording his workouts on a ring light tripod. Oh, God. Oh, yeah. That is quite the man. A lot of people do that, though. They like to, like, work out and show off their workouts on social media. Gym content. You know, it's not totally unusual. Well, right, because he told me he was working on

something. So, well, one day, he was gone and I saw his camera out, and I couldn't help myself from pressing play just to see his gym stuff. Yeah, for sure. So I watched. So I watch. He was gone, and I saw, And that's when I found out, it's a Love Island audition team. No. So he's trying to cheat on you, but it hasn't yet because he hasn't been accepted to the show. Oh, my God. And in it, he's showing off how carved his abs are and, like, for all the single ladies out there. I mean, if you're going to make it on Love Island, it feels like that's a necessity in the tape.

Did he make it on the show or did he get rejected? Well, I haven't heard anything, but we aren't together anymore, so. Okay. Good. Good call. She's not rooting for him. No, not at all. That's why we get voted off the villa the first night.

Is that how it works, Alexis? All right. He gets on the spin-off like Love Peninsula. Yeah, oh, yeah. Shameful. Make sure you hit up our text board at 7-8-5-9-2. If you have a funny story about how you caught your ex-cheating, you could be on the next edition of Busted.

Your phone tap's coming up right after this. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and let me ask a question we've all wondered. How rich is Brooke? Because if you It's hard for me to even know, Jeff. It's always changing as the market fluctuates. I don't doubt that. But if you Googled her on celebritynetworth.net.

That is not accurate. It says. No, Google me. But it said in 2019, she was worth approximately $33 million. That's it? Brooke. I know. That is not true.

Yeah, well, if you take that and extrapolate it to now, Brooke owns two countries in South America and probably all of Antarctica but again she's so humble who would know why am I bringing it up though because we asked Brooke if she could play an obnoxious rich person in today's prank call You mean be myself

Not surprisingly it was very very easy for her to pull off in your phone tap right now It's another phone tap On the 20s Advertising this is correct Why, hello, my name is Tiffany Smithsonian, and I recently applied for a job there. Okay.

Mm-hmm. Were you calling just for your job status? No, not really. That's not what I was calling for. Okay, how may I help you, Miss Tiffany? Well, I just wanted to let the powers that be know that I won't be needing a job. Okay, well, I can pull your resume. Hold on, hold on, hold on.

I appreciate you calling. Because I want you to know the reason. I'm not following, ma'am. What do you mean? I mean the reason that I don't need to work there is because I'm rich. Okay. Like rich, rich. I just found out that I was the sole heir for my grandfather's estate and now I'm a multi-millionaire.

Oh, wow. Nice. That's nice. So basically, I'm too rich to work. Oh, gosh. Is this some type of joke? A joke? A joke would be me eating second-class caviar in bed this morning.

Oh, my gosh. It's so disgusting. Okay, and you called because... Oh, you're right. With the amount of money I have now, I should have had my personal assistant. Personal assistant make this call. My bad. No problem.

problem, ma'am. You are polite for a poor person. I appreciate that, man. Carl, is it? Carl? Correct, ma'am. You know what? Because of the amount of money I have, we're changing it to Carl. Again, it's correct, man. I'm just curious. If you suddenly became a multi-millionaire, actually, multi-multi-millionaire, like myself, I almost cheaped out right then. What would you do with the money? Oh. I'm not sure. but I do have to get back to work. The phones are ringing here. I apologize. Isn't that funny?

That is funny. You took a second to think about it. You don't even have an answer about what you would do if you were suddenly rich. And I am actually rich. You said that multiple times, ma'am. Are we good here now? It's just I've always wanted to make a call like this. You did it.

And it's superb. Good for you. No, by the way, how much I'm not. company's worth? I might just buy it. Yeah, I'm sorry. I don't, ma'am. I might just answer the phones here. Well, I plan on going on a buying spree this afternoon, maybe some new boots, a sports

car. Oh, a private island that you're not invited to. No. Only rich people can come. I don't even know you personally, so I'm not sure why you're doing this entire call. Oh, it's just to let you know that there's no more 9 to 5

for me, unless it's 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. deciding which Villa has the better pool. Okay. Aren't I amazing? I think this wrong call's over, man. Your girlfriend, Erica, said that you might be, I don't know, taken aback by my amount of wealth. Excuse me?

Yes. You know, your girlfriend, Erica, the one who set you up for this prank phone call? How do you? No, no, she did. No, she did. Yes. Oh, my God. Because this is actually, Brooke from the radio show, Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning,

and we're doing a phone tap on you. Your girlfriend, Erica, said that you may be having a bad week at work and wanted to make you laugh. Oh, my gosh. Have someone call and make fun of you for not making as much money as me. I mean, I was wondering what someone was calling to tell me they're rich, and I'm not. Oh, I was also telling to tell you that you're not inviting. on the yacht as well.

Maybe Erica can come. It wasn't funny when it was going on, but this is so hilarious. I don't know why people don't love rich people. Yeah, it makes you wonder, huh? No, I hire someone to do the wandering for me. I'm sure you do. Wake up every morning with phone tabs. Weekday mornings on the 20s.

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. I'll tell you a little secret about men. Oh. Sometimes, even if we're super into a person, we still won't ask them out. Because, get this, we're scared. Oh, that's why. That's really sweet. Because it's like, you know, in our minds we're thinking, what if she says no?

And then everyone around hears that. And then they all turn and point and laugh at me. And they start chanting together, loser, loser. And then my dad joins in. And then he starts showing everybody baby photos of me in the bath. Oh, that sounds like a nightmare, Jack. We're spiraling, Jeff. It's a very common male fear.

Not at all, brother. Exactly the way I described it. And that's why the guy on the phone today should be an inspiration to us all, because he was brave and just went for the girl that he liked. Wow. Confidence? No. Yeah, he didn't use a clever pickup line or a smooth mood. It was actually something so simple.

Even Alexis admitted it probably. would have worked on her. Wow. Write this down, boys. You're going to hear what he did in your brand new second date update right after this. We often think we know our type in dating, tall, funny, a certain job, but the research shows we're usually not the best predictors of who will actually make us the happiest. As we often say on the Happiness Lab, our minds lie to us about all kinds of stuff, and that definitely includes the kinds of things we need to be happy in a relationship.

That's why it helps to stay curious. On Bumble, features like shared information. interests and prompts, make it easy to notice right on someone's profile initial sparks of compatibility, like a shared love of cooking or the same nostalgic TV shows. Shared interests and prompts let you showcase your personality right on your profile and connect with people who get your vibe. And with photo and ID verification, you can feel confident the person you're talking to is real, so you can date with a bit more confidence. When you treat dating as exploration, instead of sticking to a rigid type, you open yourself up

to happier, more meaningful connections. So maybe your type isn't tall, dark, and mysterious. Maybe it's Love's podcast as much as you do. Stay open, stay curious, and let yourself be surprised.

Hey, I'm Cal Penn, and on my new podcast, Here We Go Again, we'll take today's trends and headlines and ask, why does history keep repeating itself? You may know me as the second hottest actor from the Harold and Kumar movie. but I'm also an author, a White House staffer, and as of like 15 seconds ago, a podcast host.

Along the way, I've made some friends who are experts in science, politics, and pop culture. And each week, one of them will be joining me to answer my burning questions. Like, are we heading towards another financial crash like in 08? Is non-monogamy back in style? And how come there's never a gate ready for your flight when it lands like two minutes early? We've got guests like Pete Buttigieg, Stacey Abrams, Lily Singh and Bill Nye. When you start weaponizing outer space, things can potentially go really wrong.

Look, the world can seem pretty scary right now, because it is. But my goal here is for you to listen and feel a little better about the future.

The Big Take podcast from Bloomberg News dives deep into one big global business story every weekday. A shutdown means we don't get the data, but it also means for President Trump that there's no chance of bad news on the labor market. What does a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich reveal about the economy? Our breakfast foods are consistent consumer staples, and so they sort of become outsize indicators of inflation. What's behind Elon Musk's trillion dollar payout?

There's a sort of concerted effort to message that Musk is coming back. He's putting politics aside. He's left the White House. And what can the PCE tell you that the CPI can't? CPI tries to measure out-of-pocket costs that consumers are paying for things, whereas the PCE index that the Fed targets is a little bit broader of a measure.

to accidentally meet somebody cute. And if you're playing them, get some exercise in while you're at it. Yeah, boo, boring, Jeff. Back to the cute part. It's apparently how one of our listeners met the girl he wants to call today through the magic of sports

I love adult sports yeah Brian were you watching sports or were you playing them? I was playing nice okay are you on a league for something yeah yeah I'm in a rec league that's the soccer league

oh okay okay so you're athletic I was in one of those for a while and the games were like at 11 o'clock at night I'm like poof yeah I'm done my roommate used to go to games the whole whole point is to roll it into like

a social activity afterwards like you don't want they're doing it in the morning. That's weird. Then you go drink after. Maybe I was too old for it, Jeff. Yeah, there you go. So that's cool. You were in a rec soccer league, and who did you meet? There was this new player,

Hannah. Oh, she was on your team. They put her on our team. She just signed up, and they put her on our team. Cool. Oh, okay. And I thought, wow, she's really cute. Okay.

I thought, wow, I got to play good today. Yeah. Bring my A game. Yeah. I welcomed her, you know, I tried to be in her area when I could be around her and at timeout, I would compliment her. Nice path.

Wow. Don't get crazy. So flirting. Yeah, she can obviously tell that you were totally flirting with her. Yeah, I didn't want to come on too strong, but the game, the game kept going on. And I ended up scoring the winning goal. Nice.

Dude, you did it. That's exciting. It was very exciting, actually. he congratulated me and everybody was all happy and everything and did Hannah jump into your arms and give you a big kiss right on the mouth no but I got a high five at that point I got a high five just as good second best thing yeah that's first base so wait is this the date or did you finally ask her out well afterwards we we often go out drinking the team so she went out with us there you go and we started talking and I found out some things about her like she liked the paddle board and she had

The cat. She's funny. Is she paddle born with the cats? I don't know, but you sound smitten. Yeah, dude. The fact that you remember two details about her, we are absolutely over the mood. No, it's like the way he's saying it, like, through a smile. Yeah.

Oh, I can't. Okay. Oh, she's so cute. I mean, I can't even. I mean, it's been a couple years. I've been single, so she checked all the boxes. Aw. That's awesome, man.

Okay. So did you find out, is she single? I mean, so we're talking and, you know, and she left before I did. Oh. I went outside the bar and I was like, hey, you know, I know we're on the same soccer team and maybe it's okay if I could ask you out. Oh, all right. What was her response? Well, she kind of hands and I was like, I don't know about that.

Oh, man, you don't want to go out. And I was like, but I didn't give up. I was like, come on, if it doesn't work, we'll just go back to being, you know, soccer teammates. Right. There's nothing to lose. It's not like you guys were friends previously. Exactly. I was like, come on, let us give it a shot.

And I got her to say, you know, let me think about it. Okay, you got to let me think about it. A girl, I got to let me think about it. Women absolutely love a man drunkenly begging them to give them a chance and go out. Like, come on. I was like, immediately, if you keep asking, I don't know. She could say, oh, he's persistent or she could be like, he's a little thirsty. I think I'd say yes after enough tries.

Just so that you wouldn't have to keep on saying. Oh, that's true. Did she think about it? Well, she was in finally, she's like, okay, let's do it. Okay, there we go. Nice time's the charm. I think it's kind of cute. So she told you that outside the bar, she was willing to go out with you.

No, no. We exchanged numbers and she texted me later saying, okay, let's do it. So she really did think about it. That's better because she meant it. Yeah. That's a good point. So where'd you guys go? Well, nowhere.

The next day, she changed her mind. What do you mean? Oh, no. I got a text from her. Uh-huh. And she was just like I thought about it. maybe it's not a good idea. Oh, no.

Again, she's like right in the middle. She's like, part of her's like, not really. And then part of her's like, actually, yeah. Well, the drunk part of her is like, yeah, maybe. And then the sober parts like this is a mistake. There's still a chance here, though, is what I'm saying. She needs to stop thinking so much. Yeah.

I know. I agree. I mean, you know, I'm right with you guys. And I was like, stop thinking so much. You know you want to. That's what I was thinking. You know you want to. So after that, did she show up to the next game?

Nope. The next game, she didn't even show up. Oh, no. And I was thinking, oh, man, I made her uncomfortable, you know. I mean, everything you did is pretty innocent. I don't know that it should be something that would make her so uncomfortable to not show up unless you're not telling us everything. Are you being 100% truthful with all the details here? There's nothing I can think of that I'm leaving out. I did anything dopey or anything. Like, no unsolicited photos also got sent to her phone. Right. Nothing like that. When you were begging her for a date, did you have your pants on at the time?

I did. Good. Zipper was down, but the pants were on. Sure. I mean, I don't these seems like ridiculous questions, but I swear, you have no idea how many times we've been blindsided in the second part of these calls with the details that come out. She'll be like, yeah, he lit himself on fire. Oh, I forgot to mention that. I didn't think that was important.

Okay. So, and how long has it been since you last spoke with Hannah? We've actually checked. It's been over almost two weeks, a week and a half with us. Oh, since the attacks, damn. We'll see if she even remembers you still. Oh, she'll remember. If she didn't show up at the game, there's a reason.

Well, we'll come back and we'll try to find out why your brand-new teammate on your intramural soccer team doesn't want to go out on a date or even show up to the games anymore. It's affecting the team now. Yeah, rude. We'll confront her right after this. Second Date Update. If you're just joining us for the Second Date Update, our listener, Brian, played a little game of intramural soccer. and scored more than just the winning goal. He scored a love connection with his new female teammate, Hannah.

Yes, okay, Hannah. A true soccer batty, or saddy, as we'll call her. Well, it's saddie right now. Yeah. Coming up with a bun. I thought it was saddy because she wasn't calling him back. It works on so many different levels. I'm coming up with all sorts of cool slang for the Gen Zers to use.

We don't have to combine every word comment. It's so fun, though. Okay, fine. Again, it's going to be for Jen Alpha. They'll pick it up and they'll actually appreciate it. The whole team, though, went and grabbed drinks together after their game. And Hannah told Brian she'd be open to going out with him. After he asked her nine times.

Right. Yeah. Persistent. In fact, she texted him that later on in the night and then suddenly changed her mind the very next day. Yeah. Classic saddy behavior. Yeah. But now we're stepping in.

We're going to try and fix it. Brooke? Yeah. Your take? Oh. My take is. What do you think he's going to ask you how's your day going? Take it away.

My take is after she got home, she had a couple more glasses of wine and was binging her favorite show and was like, ah, fine, I'll go out with him. And then the next morning, she's like, what is I thinking? But I don't think that means that we can't convince her still. Brian, what do you think of Brooks theory that she's addicted to alcohol? What? This is not what I said. Well, I hope not.

I hope she feels the same way when she's not drinking. Yeah, I think you need to come up with a. pros list. Be ready for it when we finally introduce you onto the phone. Okay. Like reasons why. That sounds like fun, doesn't it? I'm like, yeah, okay, pros and con list? No, no, just pros. Just like

reasons she should say yes. Like, you kept asking her, but you didn't give her why, you know? I do love making pros and cons list of guys. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Let's just call. We'll see what happens. Hello? Hey, is this Hannah? Yes, this is Hannah.

Who is this? This is a radio show calling you called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Hi, good morning. What? I said good morning. Yeah. Oh, good morning. Sorry, I know.

Oh, she's hung over, Joe. You're probably not used to having a radio show call, but this is a segment that we're doing called a second date update. Okay. It's when someone goes out on a date with another person or they met somebody really cool and they're not getting a call back for a second meetup, we can reach out on their behalf to try and help them figure out why. And in this scenario, you met a guy recently named Brian. Right.

But I don't understand. I didn't ever go on a first date with him. Yeah. Yeah. We understand that. We know that he did tell us. But according to him, you said yes to going out on a date with him and then changed your mind the next day and didn't even show us.

up to the soccer game. Yeah. That's fine. He just wants to know maybe why. Why you changed your mind? I guess where do I start? How much do you know? What do you want to ask me?

I mean, the snapshot of what we know is you played soccer together. You went and grabbed drinks afterwards. You said yes to a day, but then changed your mind the next day. Right. So I am single. And one of the reasons that I wanted to play soccer, in this league is because I wanted to meet other people in the city. And if I'm being honest, I looked up all the guys on the roster just to see their status.

So you don't want to pick him right away in case somebody else who's cuter. She loves a good midfielder, but she's open to the goalie, you know, whatever. So does that mean that there was somebody else who caught your eye on the team? Well, not necessarily. So I was actually disappointed. pointed because every single man on the team is married. Oh. Wait. Every, including Brian?

It was confusing. I'm not sure what he is because it says that he's not married, but he is kissing a woman in his pictures. Oh, what the heck. Is it old photos from like years ago? No, they're not that old. And I just, I was like, okay, I don't want to get involved with any drama. And so.

Whoa. So, wait, you think he's, Brian's in a real. relationship. Yes, at the very least. You might be totally right. He could be absolutely married and lying to us, but it would be strange to have him reach out to our show and have him listening to this call the entire

time. Oh, yeah. That's right. Because I need to let you know, Hannah. He is there listening to this. Oh, okay. Hi. Brian? So, wait, you snooped on all our media pages? No.

That's weird. That's not weird. People do it all the time, and it's not like I was digging through it. I just wanted to see what everyone's relationship status was before I embarrass myself. That's called doing your research, Brian. Exactly. And the fact that you're not immediately coming out saying, I'm not married is a big red flag here, Brian. That's a good point.

Well, I'm not married. What are you then? It's an easy explanation, okay? I know exactly what picture. Okay. of you kissing another woman. That's my sister. Oh.

Oh, well, that makes so much sense. No, that doesn't make sense. You are kissing her on the mouth and you're holding her waist. I don't, that does not look like a sister picture. Oh, man. What the heck? And if it is, that's even more worrisome than it was a relationship. Hold on, biological sister or step sister?

There you go. Because Clueless opened the door to a little bit. Right. What's going on? That's my sister. Listen, we're a close family, okay, and it's not weird to us. Okay. So you would be comfortable introducing Hannah to the woman that was in that photo?

My sister? Yeah. I mean, do you not, like, you know, I don't know if you have a brother or, but do you not kiss your brother or your dad on the letter? No, I do not. Okay, well, we do. I don't think kissing on the lips with family is weird. I know you're going to be like, oh, Brooke doesn't think that's weird. Yeah, of course you don't.

You don't think kissing your cousins is weird. You don't think anything there's here. But, like, posting a photo of it and also holding their waist at the same time is, yeah. There's something sensual about that. Yeah. Where it doesn't feel. There's nothing sensual about it for my point of view. Okay.

For a very close family, I'm proud of the tightness of our family, okay? Okay. No, you are right. Some families are way closer. Yeah. And I have the question I think is going to finally clear everything up here. Brian, have you gone to second base with her? Is that a family?

My sister? No. All right. He has a limit. Hannah, I wish you would have texted me and just asked me, like, you know, hey, who are you kissing this fiction? I mean, I wouldn't have gone on to the radio to find this out. You should have tagged your sister, so she could have stalked your whole family on social media, too, and figured it out. I did, I did have her tag, but recently she said, could you take the tag off? Because she thought it was real.

Okay. Okay. It's rude. So maybe it was just a photo that was taken at the wrong time, and it's a totally innocent thing. It's just the tongue. You can see the tongues touching. It wasn't just one picture. He had like half a dozen on here.

Half a dozen. Wait, half a dozen sisters or half a dozen pictures of the same sister? Pictures of kissing his sister. I don't even have that many photos with my brother's normal. Yeah. What do you guys do where you're getting a photograph that often? I think it's just high and by. Who's taking them?

They're a loving family. Come on, guys. I don't know. It's not weird to us, guys. It's my sister. You know, when we see them, yeah, I know. I mean, I don't know what else to say.

You guys are like, why is this so weird? Okay. We're all ganging up on Brian right now. And Hannah, what if he really is just a good family guy? You know, that's not bad. That's a positive thing. I know. It is.

I mean, listen, the fact that he got on the radio and wanted to go out with me so badly, I appreciate that, Jester. And he's taking this pretty well. He is. And I'm sure Brian would be willing to have his sister call you directly and be like nothing has ever happened between us. And rate him on how good he is at kissing. Oh, that's nice.

Oh, listen, nobody's trading my kissing with my sister, okay? It's a normal thing. If you look at it, you can see it. I mean, listen, kissing my sister and kissing someone I'm interested is totally different. Okay, so he knows that. Okay. And maybe part of the. reason that you were so upset by the picture

is you were a little bit jealous, Hannah. So. Well, yeah. I do. I do. I'm interested. It's just weird that it's a sister and it might take me a while to get over that. Well, maybe, okay, take a day, but in the meantime... No, no, no. Don't let her take a day because last time she changed her mind.

Oh, right. Okay, you have five seconds to decide. Would you like another date with Brian? Come on. Okay, yes. I will give him another chance. There you go, Brian. And come back to the team, too. Come on. Oh, come play. I forgot about that.

He's on his knees begging you, please. Okay to that, too. All right. All right, guys, it's over. Group kiss? Yes. No, no. We're not related, so.

Oh, come on. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. You know, if you take all of the second date updates that we've done this year alone, it's been a lot, like 100, 120 maybe. Is that how many we're at? Just this year, I think. Dang. But it's pretty incredible that we got a woman to say yes to a guy who admits to mouth kissing his own sister. Oh, man.

We should be proud of that. You know, we never asked if it was closed mouth or open mouth. We didn't ask if there was clothes either. That's a good question. I was on Facebook. I assume it was a peck. But why so many photos? Yeah, that's the thing where it's like, we need to capture this.

I mean, even the sister's like, yo, bro, you got to take that down. You'd hope? No, she did. Take it down. Well, he at least is proud of his family and the family bond that they share. And we should be proud because it says something about us that we can make the sister kissers of the world seem normal. And dare I say, sexy. Yeah.

Well, your sister's coming to town soon, isn't she? Oh, yeah. She's supposed to come visit and see my new house. Oh, who knows what might happen. Kids for everybody. We'll see. But, you know, if you need our help. Kissing or anything else, you know.

You can always email the show. We'll call that person who's not calling you back. Go check out all of our second date updates. They're up wherever you get your podcast at Brooke and Jeffrey. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. It is my favorite time of the year right now because you know what season it is? Toad-licking season. That's what I was just about to show.

Yeah, Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Don't do the toad-licking thing. Like you're a 17-year-old boy. You can't get a hold of real drugs. It's not just me. It's the entire state of Arizona. Because if you live there, you've probably heard there's some rare toads coming up with all the heavy rains recently. And you know the saying, when the toads are a sliming, we're party timing.

Toad talk. You just take them out of your pool and get them back into nature. Why do I have a feeling that there's not very many women that are licking the toads? And it's mostly a male issue. I agree with your assumption. We do know how to party. That is true. At first, authorities tried to tell people, not that.

to lick them and to please keep your pets away for their safety. But now, I mean, it's 2025. And when you tell people not to do something, that just makes them want to do it anyway. So if you can believe this, some experts are now saying, look, you're probably going to lick them. And if you're going to do it, here's a safe way to lick. Let's listen to the informative message. First thing I would do is take a garden hose and flush their tongue and then make, you know, quick rinse of the tongue, work that tongue. get that slime off.

Yep, so you hear that before you kiss the toxic toad or lick, work that tongue first. Are we flushing our own tongue or the toad's tongue? It doesn't matter. As long as there's tongues going all over the place. You're in a good place. What if the toad licks you first? What do you do then? Say thank you.

Yeah, it's right, Jake. He knows how to party. That way, if you wash their tongue, you only have a 67% chance of your nervous system shutting down. Oh, my God. I like those odds. Let's really not do this. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with this message. Did you hear the nervous system shutting down part of what you just said?

Yeah, I love a challenge. And I'm pretty sure everyone in the cast of American Pie did this before filming. So we're just getting the message out there. Spread the word this year, lick your toads responsibly, and work that tongue. Don't do it. That is not our PSA. Plenty of tongue action is coming up when we do laser stories right after this. We often think we know our type in dating, tall, funny, a certain job,

but the research shows we're usually not the best predictors of who will actually make us the happiest. As we often say on the Happiness Lab, our minds lie to us about all kinds of stuff. And that definitely includes the kinds of things we need to be happy in a relationship. That's why it helps to stay curious. On Bumble, features like shared interests and prompts make it easy to notice right on someone's profile initial sparks of compatibility, like a shared love of cooking or the same nostalgic TV shows. Shared interests and prompts let you showcase your personality right on your profile and connect with people who get your vibe.

And with photo and ID verification, you can feel confident the person you're talking to is real, so you can date with a bit more confidence. When you treat dating as exploration, instead of sticking to a rigid type, you open yourself up to happier, more meaningful connections. So maybe your type isn't tall, dark, and mysterious. Maybe it's Love's podcast as much as you do. Stay open, stay curious, and let yourself be surprised. Download Bumble today.

In the new podcast, Hell in Heaven, two young Americans moved to the Costa Rican jungle to start over. But one will end up dead. The other tried for murder. Not once. People went wild. Not twice. Stoned. But three times.

John and Anne Bender are rich and attractive, and they're devoted to each other. They create a nature reserve and build a spectacular, circular home, high on the top of a hill. But little by little, their dream starts to crumble, and our couple retreat from reality. They lose it. They actually lose it. They sort of went nuts. Until one night, everything spins out of control. Listen to Hell in Heaven on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Here we go.

Hey, I'm Kelpen, and on my new podcast, Here We Go Again, we'll take today's trends and headlines and ask, why does history keep repeating itself? You may know me as the second hottest actor from the Harold and Kumar movies, but I'm also an author, a White House staffer, and as of like 15 seconds ago, a podcast. host. Along the way, I've made some friends who are experts in science, politics, and pop culture. And each week, one of them will be joining me to answer my burning questions. Like, are we heading towards another financial crash like in 08? Is non-monogamy back in style? And how come there's never a gate ready for your flight when it lands like two minutes early? We've got guests

like Pete Buttigieg, Stacey Abrams, Lili Singh, and Bill Nye. When you start weaponizing outer space, things can potentially go really wrong. Look, the world can seem pretty scary right now, because it is. But my goal here is for you to listen and feel a little better about the future.

The Big Take podcast from Bloomberg News dives deep into one big global business story every weekday. A shutdown means that we don't get the data. but it also means for President Trump that there's no chance of bad news on the labor market.

What does a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich reveal about the economy? Our breakfast foods are consistent consumer staples, and so they sort of become outsized indicators of inflation. What's behind Elon Musk's trillion-dollar payout? There's a sort of concerted effort to message that Musk is coming back. He's putting politics aside. He's left the White House. And what can the PCE tell you that the CECD?

CPI can't. CPI tries to measure out-of-pocket costs that consumers are paying for things, whereas the PCE index that the Fed targets is a little bit broader of a measure. Listen to the big take from Bloomberg News every weekday afternoon on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Which come in a variety of flavors Including not smores But spores Something you'd find on a fern, yum Which troop can sell the most with 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 parsinant pushers just don't. This first laser story is out of Kansas.

A man named Michael Jackson was driving to work. I'm assuming it's not the Michael Jackson. Yeah, it can't be. It's going to be healing. I don't know. I've seen the thriller video, so he's done some pretty crazy stuff like that. You think he's back. Yeah, he could be.

He did look like that towards the end, okay. But this Michael realized he was getting very low on gas. So he pulled into a random neighborhood, knocked on a stranger's door, and asked the homeowner if they could spare some extra gas. Never thought about trying that. Why wouldn't he find a gas station? So the homeowner asked questions just like those

that you were asking, why don't you go to a real gas station? And that's when MJ admitted to the person saying he would do that, but the truck is kind of stolen. Don't you hate when you steal a truck that isn't on full? Yeah. You've stolen cars, right, brother?

You know how this works. So lazy. He then added politely, please don't call the cops. No. I mean, that seems reasonable. I honestly may be like, all right. Yeah. As of now.

Yeah. It sounds like they did anyway, though, because officers showed up and spotted the truck with a different license plate than it had when it was swiped. God. He came up with that. part of the plan. He just forgot the gasoline part. So Michael Jackson was arrested. Oh, man. It still feels like he could have gone to a gas station and it would have been less

likely that he got caught. Yeah. It feels that way. The cops did note on their Facebook page that he was clearly not a smooth criminal. This next laser story is out of New Jersey. 25-year-old Amber Thompson was in a Marshall's checkout line. That was taking way too long. And that made Amber really mad. I mean, it could be upsetting when you're just waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting. Especially like one little thing.

Totally. Well, it's because the customer in front of her was being a little bit too friendly with the cashier. It's probably my husband. Chatting it up. Taking her sweet time. And that's when Amber started saying a few things out loud. Witnesses say Amber threatened to beat the woman up if she didn't hurry up. Oh, wow.

Okay. That's a little aggressive. Just like your husband? No, he's the one that's talking with the cashier. He's going to get... Yeah, he's definitely going to get taken down. He's going to be like, well, you better start throwing hands because I like this person. Yeah.

We're besties now. I pick this like because Susan's working today. He's not okay, just give it to my left eye. The thing is the lady didn't respond to Amber's threats. Instead, she finished her transaction and then walked out to her vehicle in the parking lot. Oh, okay. That's good. That's a reasonable thing to do.

No. She stayed cool-headed. No, Amber didn't like that either. Uh-oh, no reaction. So she ran to the back of the kitchen department in Marshals, got a set of steak knives, ran back to the cashier, paid for them, then made a mad dash for the parking lot. Oh, no, she didn't. Thank God the line was shorts.

Yeah. And that's when she found the slow woman from the checkout line and stabbed her in the arm with one of the knives. Capulia! I know she was going to go for the tires, not the... There's so many thoughts in that moment between the buying of the knives, the checkout. checking out of the knives that you could have stopped yourself. The victim was able to get immediate help for her non-life-threatening injuries, but Amber made her way right back into the marshal's store.

Oh, gosh. Unfortunately for her, the police were very timely and found her hiding in a bathroom stall with the weapon sitting on top of a baby changing station. What? Oh, my gosh. Never thought of that as a nice counter to hold weapons. No baby in the changing station at the time.

Important to note that. I was worried. I was like, there's a knife back to a baby? Yeah, no. She's good. But she was arrested and faces multiple charges, including aggravated assault, but not shoplifting. Because remember, Amber was a responsible shopper and purchased those knives before she used them to staff someone. That's good.

She does have a moral line job. She might even be our future hero of the week. Oh. So make out for Amber. This next laser story is out of Techtown. Everybody's worried about AI taking their job. But you probably wouldn't. want this one because

Coaler just debuted a new toilet camera that watches you go. Array! Who is buying this? Yeah, what's this for? It's called Dakota, a play on the word decode. Oh. So, D-E-K-O-D-A.

I thought I was looking at my Dakota. Yeah, thanks. It fits on the side of most toilet bowls and it uses optical sensors to scan and analyze your waist. Then it spits out stats on your phone. I know I eat too much sugar You don't have to tell me

My husband would love this Oh no Yeah he'd be giving me updates on the daily Well to use it You sign in on a fingerprint scanner So it knows whose waste it's scanning And it can tell you whether you're dehydrated What percentage of your sessions are regular each week

I agree Do you need more brand and fiber in your diet? Yeah And hopefully it comes with a share option So you can put it up on Facebook so everybody knows. They say, don't worry, there's no chance of your junk showing up on camera. Quote, Dakota sensors see down into your toilet and nowhere else.

Oh, so I'll just trust it? Yeah. Yeah, sure. Maybe. The price for this sophisticated toilet cam is a whopping $600. So you know it's got to be pretty decent. Oh, my gosh. And on top of that, there's also an annual subscription fee, $70 a year if it's just you, or $130,

for the family plan. Try pitching that one to the misses. Honey, I swear, it's a bargain if the whole family doesn't. Just sign in with your fingerprint. And then we all get to know. How fun. This next laser story is out of

the Harry Haven. Yesterday was National Sasquatch Awareness Day. And nothing would make people more aware of a Sasquatch than randomly bumping into Bigfoot out in the woods. Oh, yeah. I'd say so.

Well, a new report is ranked. The top places in America where you're statistically the most likely to spot one. All right. Let's go. Where are we going, Jeff? Number four, Michigan. It looks like the guy ate with a man's face. Is that where the original Bigfoot was taken or was that like an Alaska?

I forgot where that video was. I don't know. It's very woody. The grainy one. Government staying real quiet about that one. Number three is Oregon. Number two, West Virginia. Okay.

I can see all these. He likes to hide up in the Appalachians. Yeah. In the top spot to find Bigfoot, if you want to, is Washington State. Yeah, really? Very woodsy. So woodsy. The place least likely to find a Sasquatch, Maryland or Arizona.

Apparently, he's not a dry heat type of guy. I see. He's just hiding behind a cactus. The older he gets, he may be wintering in those. Yeah, he's got to go. He's going to be snowbird. He'll be found in Florida eventually. once he retires.

How old is this guy by this time? But in general, we know that he's not easy to find. Luckily, one individual's posted a million dollar bounty for him. Oh, good. It's this guy. And if anyone I know is a foot guy, it's definitely him. Big foot, small foot, whatever, he will pay for the picks. And that sound means laser stories has come to an end for the day.

We'll do it again. Same time on Friday. We are in the middle of Newby Week. All brand new players have called in to take on Brooke and have any newbies won so far. One came close and tied. No, that was good at that. And then Brooke laughed right in their face and blew her nose into a $100 bill. But it was funny.

Bologios. There you go. Austin, you got two correct today. All right. You did well. Solid score. And Brooke? Yeah.

nine players in the batting lineup of each team. The nut used to make pesto sauce would be pine nuts, Austin. Unless at your restaurant, you make it a different way. We have multiple variations. Oh, no, he didn't get that one right? You know what? Did he say walnut?

He said pistachio nuts. But maybe at his restaurant, they make them with pistachio nuts. So bonus point for Austin. All right. Austin now got three. So there you go, Austin. The loudness of sound is measured by decibels, a fold away that is formerly known as a Murphy bed.

Oh, you mean like that folds into the wall? I don't think to pull out couches. Yeah, I mean, I guess it technically counts, but the traditional term for it is a Murphy bed. Jake's right. We're going to give him another point. Now you have four points. He's about to win this name.
