Jose, I got to say before the brand new episode starts right now,
thank you for getting us a glimpse of what it's like to be in a men's restroom.
Yeah, yeah.
I also now that I'm sober, it's a lot different experiences for me when I ran into other drunk
people.
Yeah, yeah, you got to hear this story.
It's coming up in a brand new what's on your mind.
It's wild.
A brand new second date today.
A lot of fun.
Laser stories.
We got it all.
But first, comments.
Yeah, J.C. said, I think we should have a spin-off series for Alexis on YouTube.
Road Adventures with the Lexus.
So we can see how she drives,
but also be redemption for her in case she gets an accident and it's not her fault.
Dude, it would be pretty fun to just put a dash cam on your car for a week and just see who survives.
Yeah, and then I have witnesses, guys.
There you go.
This is great.
I don't know that it's going to go in your favor.
But I love your positivity.
I do.
Your brand new full hour starts right now.
They say time and temp is the secret to having a.
a great radio show.
Oh, I thought we were talking about cookies.
Yeah.
It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
No, you know I'm talking about like, good morning, Poughkeepsie.
It's 6.14 in the AM, balmy 87 degrees.
We're going to keep that hot ball rolling with some J-Lo.
Let's get loud.
Dude, are you reading a radio handbook from the year 2001?
Brooke, if you don't know that saying, obviously, you're not in the bees.
Oh, wow.
That's how we do.
Never done radio before.
No, we have always said, doing lots of weather and traffic updates,
mix in a birthday shout out to Ron the mail carrier.
And you have got an unbeatable trifecta of hot live and local entertain.
Don't forget to say Ron's hometown.
Oh, yeah.
Also, Poughkeepsie.
That's always from Pagetcy.
It's such a hot zip.
Fun fact, in 2016, we paused doing second date updates for an entire month just to focus on time and temp.
Yeah.
And give the people what they're going.
they really wanted to hear in the morning.
Those are the best ratings for you had.
I wish I worked here.
I will say Jeffrey may be biased because he did start out
doing our traffic reports. Oh yeah.
Up in curiosity too.
Those were the good old days.
So why not bring them
back? Let's do a little
weather right now.
People have their phones
for that, Jeff. Nobody needs to hear.
Well, I think everybody's together in the snow and knowing
what's happening. I'm not talking about the weather around
here. No, I'm talking about the record heat wave happening in Australia right now. Oh, I did just see this.
Where temperatures are currently soaring well above 120 degrees. No way. And isn't the Australian Open going right now?
Yeah. They're like playing tennis in this stuff. Oh my God. In slow motion, basically. So if you're sick of the cold where you are right now, why not take a trip down under and boil yourself alive.
Dude, there's got to be a middle zone on Earth right now. That's like just kind of mild. Nope. That's global warming.
Also, side note, a dog was allegedly caught driving a vehicle on an Australian beach with a human in the passenger seat.
Was this a heat hallucination?
That's real life.
See, who says time and temp can't be fun?
Morning radio is back, baby.
They'll maybe go triple T, time, temp, and trivia with the shot collar question of the day.
Jake, you give us some T, T, and T.
Well, today is a huge day in history.
Because we're celebrating the birthday of not one, but two music icons.
Oh, really?
I'm talking about famed 2000s rapper Rick Ross and the third most popular Backstreet
Boy, Nick Carter.
Hey.
Behind who?
AJ McLean, of course, and Kevin Richardson.
Duh, sorry.
I forgot about Kevin.
Yes, Brooke.
Don't say Brian.
I'm sorry.
I was an ex-gris.
Now, between Rick Ross and Nick Carter, one sold us luxury raps.
and smooth beats, and the others sold us choreographed dances and cargo pants.
Yeah.
It's proof that if your parents named you anything rhyming with Ick, fame was just a hit song away.
Wow.
That's why today, in honor of these two music legends, we're doing a special famous ricks and nicks edition of 20 of 20.
Say a number one through 20, I'll tell you about a famous person whose first name is either Rick or Nick.
Ah, see, I see now.
You just have to name them to stay in the game.
The name of the game is tricky, but Rick's and Nicks is what we're doing.
This makes sense.
Let's start with the woman who doesn't matter.
Rick or Nick, she always has the ick.
That's Alexis.
Jake 7.
Oh, that's such a good motto for you.
It is.
Alexis, this guy promised he's never going to give you up and made the whole internet regret it.
Name that famous Rick or Nick.
Telling a woman that you're never going to give her up is a great way to give her the yick.
It's true.
Sorry, I got nauseous.
when you said that.
I'm pretty sure it's
Rick Astley's his name.
Sorry, say that again.
Astley? Is it Ast-A-S-T?
Oh, come on.
Alexis, I need you to spell out the whole
name for me. I can't really understand you.
Come on.
A-S-T-L-E-Y.
He got exactly right, Alexis.
Something with my ears.
I tried to get Alexis out, Jeff. I'm sorry.
You tried.
Alexis, again, getting one right.
Brooke, we're over to you. Seven is off the board.
Felt a little unfair there, Jake.
I'm going to go with eight.
The game is exactly as fair as I allow it to be, Brooke.
Here's your hint, Brooke, parks, woodworking, and mustache discipline.
This man teaches by example.
Is that a famous Rick or a famous Nick?
No, he is an incredible man, and his name is Nick Offerman.
Nick Offerman.
Correct, Brooke.
Alexis and Brooke are still in.
Jose, let's go to you seven and eight or off the board.
Let's go number five.
This guy started in a boy band and now shreds on.
social media and sometimes on the drums with his bros name this famous Nick or Rick.
Hmm.
Huh.
Well, I thought Nick Carter right away.
So another Nick and a boy band.
Oh, I just got it.
Because I'm still trying to watch the Christmas movie of them that the girls told me I would love.
Is it Nick Jonas?
I don't know.
Yes, it is Nick Jonas Jose.
He does play the drums, Alexis.
Embarrassing for you not to know that.
She's the one who wants me to watch the movie.
Big fan of drummer.
I think I was Brooke, but yeah.
Jeffrey, seven, eight, and five are off the board.
Let's go too.
This actor shrank kids, hunted ghosts, and stole every scene with a little nerdy Canadian charm.
Name that famous Rick or Nick.
Oh, you made a big mistake, Jake.
I never do.
Because you picked the only Canadian comedian who's also Jewish.
You don't think I've seen a signed headshot up in a Canadian deli of this guy, Rick Morrell.
Moranis.
Rick Moranis.
Little Giants.
Spaceball.
He's correct.
There has to be another Jewish-Canadian comedian.
He's the only one.
Why are we passing a picture of him around?
Why not?
Brooke, I'm hearing a lot of complaints.
Don't hate on the one Jewish-Canadian.
Perfectly normal segment, Brooke just has to find something to complain about.
Rick or Brian, let's go back to Alexis.
A good star human being.
We're back to you.
Nine.
This is a funk legend who told us that super freaks are everyone.
Name that famous Nick or Rick.
I don't think I got the reference.
I agree.
Another Super Freak fan.
Jose said Nick Carter.
I know that's some boy band guy, so I'm going to say Nick Carter.
You have interviewed Nick Carter on our podcast.
That's incorrect.
Just want to remind you of that.
He's a backstreet boy.
The Nick or Rick I was looking for was Rick James.
James.
James.
C-word?
He's a singer.
He's Rick James.
That's all you need to know.
Super freak.
That's a little.
Brooke, we're over to you.
You can save this for the ladies if you get this right.
Oh, my gosh.
Go ahead and interrupt.
19.
Oh, wow.
Well, I just, you know.
Brooke, this rock star turned soap opera heartthrob had a moot that conquered the 80s.
Name that famous Rick or Nick.
I don't know at all.
It's got to be a Rick if he's in the 80s.
It is a big, Brooke.
I'll tell you this, Brooke, his biggest song was titled Jesse's girl.
Oh, don't you know.
know that I have just a girl.
We all know the song, bro.
Rick, Ricky, Dickie.
Ricky.
That's a Simpsons reference, Brooke,
because I was looking for Rick Springfield
was his name.
And after that, that means the boys
have won today's edition of
Plenty of 20.
All right, the boys win the round of
Nick or Rick.
I'm Nick, he's Rick.
We get to choose.
I think the girls are going to do a joint shock today.
They're going to be singing.
Never going to give you up.
Rick As well.
A-T-L-E-Y.
Let's just go to here.
Never gonna give you up.
Never gonna let you down.
Never gonna run around
and dessert.
That was, you got Rick rolled on your
shot-collar question of the day.
And Nick rolled.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
You know, when most people travel,
they pack the normal stuff.
Clothes, sunscreen,
Maybe an extra pair of emergency flip-flops just in case.
What?
I thought, Mom.
Sure, you were going to say underwear.
Yeah, me too.
Sure, those two.
Those are all normal.
But not Jose.
His brain works differently.
Oh, that's true.
That's for sure.
He packs things that nobody else on earth would ever think to bring on vacation.
Jeff has not exaggerated.
No.
Brooke has lived it.
Jose's brought his PlayStation.
A second flat screen TV.
drink vouchers to an airline he is not even flying on that trip.
And he doesn't even drink.
It's just in case he needs to give him out to someone else.
And three dozen sugar-free cookies that he bought off of the dark web.
Meanwhile, he forgot to pack his own pants.
Because Jose's brain just works differently.
It does.
He's kind of an over-prepper in all the weirdest ways.
The one thing he doesn't prepare for, though, whatsoever, this next segment.
where we ask him, what's on your mind?
Even he has no idea.
It's coming up right now.
It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning,
and I don't know about you,
but gravity is constantly trying to take my pants off.
I'm like, whoa, gravity.
I mean, he's right.
Pump the brakes, maybe buy me dinner first.
Could we at least chat for a second like we do on this segment?
What's on your mind,
where we go around the room sharing what we've all.
been thinking about lately as gravity tugs on our drawers trying to get us naked.
I'm literally pulling my pants up.
Yeah. I don't know why. Gravity doesn't like that. We're going to start with Brooke. Brooke,
what's on your mind? Well, my daughter and her friends are writing a play, which
they've been working on it for weeks. I haven't heard much about it and so I picked her up
from her friend's house and I'm like, so how's the play, you know, tell me about it.
And she's like, well, there is a character based on you.
Oh, what?
Which character?
And I am like, a butt.
She's like, yeah, I'm actually playing her.
I don't like me.
Oh, she's playing her mom.
That's cute.
I thought this was the sweetest thing.
And I'm like, well, what does she like?
And she's like, oh, she's like the cringiest mom that ever existed.
She, like, she says the word, like, sleigh all the time.
And she uses, like, no cap when she shouldn't.
She's super.
She's super non-judgmental, not competitive in any way, shape, or form.
She's like, everyone, all the other characters are super embarrassed.
I was like, well, when do I get to see it?
Because I'm still kind of proud.
Yeah.
I said, I bet you'll slay at that.
Oh, no.
I wonder how it's going to end for the character in the play.
I'll keep you updated.
Yeah.
If the character evolves to be cool at some point, I don't know.
Sell tickets to this.
Listeners will want to buy.
I want to see to play a Brooke.
Or she just remains annoying the entire time.
That's why I want to see it.
Good luck with that, Brooke.
Jose, what's been on your mind?
Well, I was at a hockey game recently.
No.
And I'm going to use the restroom.
And the game I go to, I got these really cool fancy seats.
Like you, every game got you.
This was the fancy seats I ever got.
But anyway, I go in and in this middle game, and I have a whole bathroom to myself.
And within a few minutes, my door is locked.
But I hear a fan walk in, and then I see a hand.
And it's like yank.
Trying to open your door.
Trying to open the door.
And there's two other stalls.
And they're all open.
And then he goes, yank,
doesn't work.
Yank!
Yank!
Yank!
Yank until it pops open.
What?
You're not even saying anything to him?
No, it happened quick.
I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm sitting down.
Right?
And he busted open and he goes, oh, oh, my God.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
And he wasted.
It makes sense.
It's all good.
I shut it.
He gets into the stall next to me.
Okay.
He's like, I mean, you should probably close the door next time.
I'm like, the door was shut and locked.
And he's like, all right, all right, I'm sorry.
And we're talking to the stalls now.
I'm jealous at the level he's out.
And then he's like, you want to take a hit of my vape pen?
No.
And I'm like, no, he's like, no, come in here.
I knew he was going to invite him.
He invited me into his stall.
And I literally.
had to like sneak out
because he wouldn't stop talking. He's like
oh man, well if you want it and I'm here
I go wash my hands and as I'm
literally leaving he's still talking to
himself and the stall making
friends with me. I hope
somebody else walked here. Yeah.
Just continued the convo.
Cake party in the VIP bathroom.
Let's go.
Oh man, you missed out Jose.
Alexis, what's on your mind? So we have like
a running joke on this show. I mean it's
also true but that broke rents her clothes
all the time. Well like these
Pants were rented, but then I bought them.
This is my moment to talk.
I have to say, I did start renting clothes as well.
Yay!
So now there are two renters in the building.
That's right.
We always joke that you're slowly turning into Brooke, and now you're literally doing...
The problem is I am renting from the same place as Brooke.
Here we go.
Matching outfits.
Abby, are you following my profile, too?
No.
So this is what I'm trying to do, though, is avoid matching Brooke, obviously.
So what I do have going for me is when you click on clothes, there's a photo review of it.
So if I see one with Brooke photo review instantly, on favorite, don't wear.
You don't want to have Brooke's rental hand-me-downs.
You can't pretend.
Like, you started renting from the company that I'm renting from.
You obviously liked what I was wearing.
No, no, no, no.
Do you know what I'm saying?
We haven't matched anything yet.
When I go to pick up my clothes in person, I'm going to double check, ask them what Brooke has taken out that same month.
So we don't have a monthly match.
But I am renting and I'm a day.
bidding it now.
Let's wait a month and see how many of the outfits
that she's like, well, it just was cute.
It wasn't because Brooke Warren.
She's going to be saying sleigh all day long, too.
Good Lord.
Here comes the baggy jeans, big glasses and beanie.
No, Alexis, I can't wait.
All right, Jeffrey, what's on your mind?
So I've been having issues with my male lady
ever since I moved into my house over a year ago.
Oh, after you tried to put that mailbox up.
That was just the start of it.
But for months, I'd come home and I'd find notices on my mailbox saying attempted to deliver package, address unreachable.
Oh.
Okay.
And that's happened like at least a dozen times.
I'm like, how is it unreachable?
You can literally see my house right there.
You can drive up.
There's a driveway.
Yeah, it's right at the end of that road.
Just drive to it.
So finally, after driving back and forth to the post office to collect my boxes for months and months,
I called the post office and I told them the situation.
I like how you guys make fun of me for being old, but Jeffrey's over here calling the post office.
Continue?
Well, they don't have a website that works, so I have to go through that.
And did that help?
No.
No.
Actually, the total opposite.
Are you getting blacklisted?
Is there like a blacklist they put you on?
It's possible that they must have talked to the mail lady, though, because lately I'm getting my mail in all my boxes found at the very edge of my property.
Not by my front door or at the bottom of the stairs,
literally 60 yards away,
crammed into a bush,
tossed in the mud,
left overnight to be rained on.
And I want to call the post office again
to tell them what's going on,
but I'm scared of what the mail lady's going to do to me next.
Should you complain about the price of stamps
while you're on the phone with them?
I do have a problem with the price of stamps.
Yeah, Jeff, you tell them.
But I didn't think I'd have to go to war with the mail service,
but here I am.
Here you are.
Just give her a gift.
Oh, that's what my mom does.
She's friends with all the ladies at the post office.
Oh, call her.
She brings some cookies sometimes, too.
That's what's been on our minds.
You can text in 7-8-5-9-2 and tell us what's been on yours.
It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
We just told the world what's been on our minds.
And now the world is coming right back at us, telling us what's been on theirs.
I love it.
Thank you, world.
I'm going to read three texts in a row because they're all kind of in the same vein here.
Okay.
This says, loved the scam the scammer call.
last month.
Another, please, please, please, get rid of blind love is and keep scammer calls as a regular.
Someone's kind of my favorite.
Another text says, hey guys, long-time listener, love the show.
Wanted to say I'm loving the new spam caller segment, and I hope you keep it.
I hate spam callers, and they deserve it.
Hold up, though.
If a spam caller called us about spam, that would work on me.
Oh, they just minged you.
Oh, wait a minute, I got a phone tap idea.
If you do want to hear more scam-the-scam phone taps,
You could throw up a W in the chat, fam.
Yeah.
W is in the chat or L's if you think Jeff is being weird right now.
That's what the cool kids say.
Yeah, clock it, Jeff.
Okay, clock it.
And one more text.
Final text says,
Jeff is so cute and fancy.
No one text.
No one texted.
It's centered right there.
You didn't type it, you know what?
No one believes you.
I think that's bagel texting.
L, L, L in the chat.
Hayter's going to hate, you can bet.
That's your what's on your mind party.
the thing.
Brooke and Jeffrey
in the morning.
Well, no surprise.
Once again, management is
going against me and my
sound advice.
Oh, man.
Because I told them,
I know what the listeners want to hear.
They want more
weather, more traffic
updates, and way
more random testing of the
emergency alert system.
They're favorite.
All the time.
No, apparently management is shot down my gold content ideas once again.
Oh, no, Jeff, we're all disappointed.
How is this the first time I'm thankful for management?
Apparently, they think people want to hear about relationship drama.
Yes, Jeff, that's it.
They believe our listeners want to hear stories about scandal and cheating and hot, passionate backseat infidelity.
Oh, now that's the tea.
So I am sorry to all of our listeners, but our 15-minute webbed.
breakdown of cloud coverage has got to wait.
Oh, man.
There's a cloud over there I want to talk about.
Is it cumulus or is it not?
We're never going to find out.
Instead, we're doing management mandated cheating stories
in a brand new busted coming up right after this.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Sneaky husbands.
Two-timing wives.
Bad boyfriends.
And even worse, girlfriends.
They thought they could get away with it.
But now they're about to get.
Busted.
You know, when Beyonce got cheated on,
she turned around and made a groundbreaking album called Lemonade.
That's right.
That's right.
Turn those lemons into lemonade.
And when our listeners get cheated on,
sure, they could go the Beyonce route.
How hard could that be?
Or do the slightly easier thing.
Come on our show and tell the story of how you caught them right here on Busted.
Some argue that's what Queen Buced.
they should have done.
You can still take a baseball bat to their front windshield.
Yeah, a lot of ways to go about it.
It's not really for us to decide.
But we do have a few listeners on the phone right now,
ready to tell us their stories of how they caught their lying no-good exes.
Starting with Dana, tell us how you busted your significant other.
My friends and I did an escape room.
And before they would let us go into the actual room,
the front desk person had us all leave our phones up front with them in a basket.
Is that normal?
I've never done it in an escape room.
Yeah, I think so the other ones I've done, they do it just so you're not like Googling,
cheating things like that.
I love that you would pay for an experience and then cheat your way out of it.
I get frustrated two minutes and like, okay, hold on, let's just the first.
It's too hard, then it's not fun anymore.
Okay.
Okay, so you had to lock up your phones.
Yeah, and when we came back out after we finished, we did escape, the employee started handing
everybody's phones back to them, and as she was handing my boyfriend's phone back,
she said, somebody named Michelle has kept texting and calling the phone nonstop.
Oh.
She's probably looking out for you.
Wait, wait.
That's got to be his sister, right?
His mom, maybe?
Oh, no.
Michelle is his ex.
Oh, wow.
What did you do?
I mean, immediately, I'd, like, turn red, and I ask what's going on,
and he tells me that apparently they've still been sharing locations with each other.
So that they could stay far away from each other.
They don't want to, like, bump into each other in the same room.
Well, apparently the reason she was so upset and blowing up his phone
when she saw that he was at the escape room is because that was supposed to be their spot.
And she wasn't there with him.
Oh.
Wow.
She was jealous.
She's active for checking it.
She sounds fun, too.
Yeah.
She deserves her.
She's the real escape room.
Wow.
I take it you guys broke up.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
I'm guessing they're still together.
They sound like a matchmate.
Yeah.
Sorry that happened to you, Dana.
Let's keep going to Scott.
Tell us how you busted your significant other.
Okay.
So here it goes.
My girlfriend told me she had to get glasses.
Oh.
Yeah, I would have dumped her too.
What?
Nerd.
That vision is fine, okay?
Well, it wasn't just that.
The doctor was having some kind of issue with her prescription.
Oh.
So she always had these eye appointments.
like once or twice a week.
That doesn't seem normal.
That's so often.
I have the world's worst eyes and I go in once a year.
Okay.
Already a red flag.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, so she would put the scheduled appointments on our shared calendar.
Uh-huh.
And one day, I text her about an hour after one of her appointments.
And she texts back saying, still at eye doctor.
And, you know, I was already in the area.
So I figured I'd come by and say hi.
I park outside of the place
and I see the doctor
he walks her out to her car
Oh, so nice
And then he leans in her car window
to kiss her
Wait, is he kissing her eyes
Because that would make him feel better
Yeah, I haven't done a lot of eye appointments
Brooke, is that how it normally goes?
Left, right, my lips
Oh, okay, which one looks better
Yeah, okay, that cannot be a good feeling
Yeah
Oh man
Yeah, it was brutal
And I mean, my window was rolled down, and I heard him say,
looks like your eyesight is getting worse.
We should probably book another appointment for tomorrow.
Ew.
Wow.
Creepy.
Can't you take it out of the office?
Like, all the workers that have to work with this guy.
He did.
He took it to the parking lot.
How far away did they get back?
How role play would get old real quick?
Oh, my God.
Yeah, the worst part to top it all off, I wait a few minutes,
and sure enough.
I hear the ding that she just added it to our shared calendar.
Oh, man.
God, I'm sorry.
That's my busted story.
The next girl makes sure she's blind.
Get a girl that has LASIC.
Yeah.
And the opposite.
Okay.
We got time for one more.
Finally, let's talk to Courtney.
Tell us how you busted your significant other.
My boyfriend works for, like, a public speaking class.
And it was just to help him out with presentations.
And they did that, so he would stop saying, like, um, and, you know,
Maybe we should sign up for that.
Yeah, for real.
Those are my favorite parts of the presentation
where they say absolutely nothing.
And one day, I saw no cards on the table,
so I snuck a peek at what he was talking about that day.
Yeah, for sure.
And it was a written-out speech
about how he wanted to tell me.
She felt guilty about cheating on me last Thanksgiving
with my sister.
Oh, with your sister.
Oh, my God.
Tell me it was a fictional speech.
Fiction.
I don't think so.
Oh.
I really don't think so.
Because when he got home, I had him tell me himself.
And while he, like, as a person sucks, I will say that the classes, they did work because he was a much better speaker when he was telling me about his cheating.
Oh, that's nice.
You don't want a lot of ums and us and pauses while he's telling you about being unfaithful.
Presentation when he was so confident.
Wow.
He can finally tell you how we feel.
Wow.
Oh, that's horrible.
I'm so sorry.
Thank you.
Yeah, we're not together anymore.
All right.
That one was messy.
Yeah.
I'm trying not to stutter while we end this, but I have to just be like, I don't know.
Hit up on text board.
7-8-592.
If you have a funny story about how you caught your ex-cheating, you could be on the next edition of Busted.
We got your phone tab coming up right after this.
It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
And today we call a mom of an elementary student to give her some gritty.
great news.
Apparently, at their recent school auction, they had a raffle for a 10-day Caribbean cruise.
That's exciting.
But they have not announced the winner yet.
All right.
So we're going to take advantage of that and tell her she won.
But like with many of our prank calls, there is a catch where her 10-day cruise isn't happening on consecutive days.
Nice.
There's some things that are going to have.
happen in between and you're going to find out
what they are in your phone tap
right now.
Brooke and Jeffrey's phone
taps on the 20s.
Hello?
Hi, Mary. This is Charles
Asphalt.
I'm sorry.
I don't recognize that name.
Do I know you?
Well, you should.
I handle all the particulars with financials
for the S.P.A.
Your child's elementary school?
Oh, oh gosh, I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
Hi.
Yeah, did they already call you and tell you about the raffle situation?
No, no one's called me.
Oh, wow.
What's the situation?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Okay.
I guess I'm going to have to be the one to tell you.
You won the cruise.
Really?
Yeah.
I won the cruise.
You did?
Congratulations.
You won the 10-day Caribbean cruise.
That's so awesome.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
That's, wow.
Yeah.
That's amazing.
Oh, my God.
I know.
I know.
So here's the deal.
Even though it is a 10-day cruise, it's going to last for about two months.
Oh.
Okay?
Wait.
What?
Yeah, it's a deal that we got through the wholesaler.
So the first night, you will be on the cruise.
I know.
that for sure. Okay. I'm sorry. I don't understand. Well then so for the next six days, you'll be left on
one of the islands for you to enjoy and fend for yourself. Does that make sense? No, no. I'm sorry.
I used it to fend for myself. Yeah, fend for yourself on the island. And then at the end of that week,
they'll come back and they'll pick you up with a different boat. And you'll be on that cruise for a day
and a half, it looks like.
And they're going to drop you off on whatever
the next island is.
Possibly Cuba?
I don't have the full itiner in front of me.
I'm sorry.
You're saying that I'm doing like one-day cruises,
getting dropped on an island
for like days and days
and then being picked up from, wait,
another boat and then being dropped.
In total, it will be a 10-day cruise.
That's what was in the promotional materials.
And we asked a lawyer, and we're good on our end there.
So, there's no way to change that.
That sounds like a reality show.
Like, I don't.
Well, that's a fun way to think about it.
No.
And speaking of, actually, have you seen the show Survivor?
Yes.
Okay, good.
Well, you may want to rewatch season 32.
That's the one where they have issues creating their own shelter,
because you're probably going to have to do that.
I'm a big fan of the show, by the way.
You're welcome for the free advice.
I'm sorry.
I'll be respect, but I do not sign up to be.
aren't like some survivor experiment thing.
Here's something fun that you might like.
Apparently on the third leg, it's going to be a smaller boat, and you may get to take the wheel.
That's kind of cool.
Are you kidding me?
Well, actually, you will have to take the wheel.
All passengers are going to have to captain the vessel since there is no captain.
What?
On that one.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I don't, that's, no, that's, no, no, that's dangerous.
And that sounds incredibly shady.
So you don't want to do anything with this?
Do you just want your kids to go?
Is that what you're saying?
No.
Because we can't make that happen.
I just have to adjust some paperwork.
No, no.
I don't want anyone in my family to go on this shady cruise.
Wow.
I'm going to have a talk with the principal
because whatever company you guys are using is not appropriate for families.
Okay, your reaction is baffling to me.
Not a lot of people want to turn down free prizes.
Okay.
What if I did this?
What if we threw in one free mixed drink?
It's going to be in a canoe, but the drink will be free.
Are you kidding me?
No, serious.
I think I can hook that up if the wholesaler agrees.
This went to a 10-day Caribbean luxury cruise to a fucking mixed drink on a canoe, a
canoe.
Okay, but your friend Nicole said you would love it.
So.
Nicole.
Now I'm not sure what to believe.
You told Nicole all these things about this?
She told us when she asked us to.
do this prank call on you.
Because you're on the radio right now on a show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Oh, my God.
I'm sorry.
It's all a joke.
Nicole said that you both put entries into your school raffle, and it was a huge long
shot that either of you would win.
But you're probably glad you didn't win now.
Holy shit.
You have these.
The canoe in the middle of the OECD for Cuba.
You need to hydrate so that your arms have energy to row.
Oh, my God.
Broken Jeffrey's phone taps on the 20s.
Brooklyn Jeffrey in the morning.
Someone should really develop a color coding system for who you can and cannot ask out.
Oh, they do that at a party sometimes.
Okay.
Yeah, like your best friend's ex-husband.
Ooh.
Obviously, code red.
Yeah.
No go.
What?
Your best friend's current husband, though?
Maybe a little yellow.
No, what?
You can't claim every husband that you've ever had.
That should be like black.
It's a little too much.
If you're going to have multiple, he has it points.
Right.
It depends on the situation.
But then there's the greens.
The full-fledged all clear.
Yeah.
And I know Kermit the Frogs.
says it's not easy being green,
but he probably says that because
Kermy's been on the dating apps and seen the
scraps that are available.
Greens are usually unwanted.
Yeah, Miss Piggy was
like his prize. I don't know where we went with the
colors at this point. I don't know where we're here anymore.
Usually if you're a green,
that's a red flag.
So what happens next?
One of our listeners dips his
toe in the yellow and asks out a
girl from his work.
A little risky. And we did not
expect what would happen after that.
You're going to find out in your second date update,
Colors Edition, coming up right after this.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, second date update.
We've heard from a lot of people on this show
who've moved cities and started over that it's not easy.
No, I mean, what a challenging thing to do, but so rewarding.
Yeah.
It's so awesome.
Good for you.
But a lot of stress, you've got to get a whole new driver's license.
Memorize a whole new address.
That's what you're worried about.
Not like making new friends and having a community.
No, that's easy.
But changing your favorite inflatable store location on your app,
I mean, where are you going to find your inflatables now and will they be as sturdy as the previous ones?
Yeah.
Blowups are us.
Is that it?
No.
They don't exist here.
Now you're out.
He knows where you're going to blow up.
I didn't realize.
You're going to spend time with lots of headaches and roadblocks when you move.
No one knows that better than our listener, Eric, who's requested our help.
today. Eric, welcome to the show, man. We appreciate you listening to us in both cities, your old one and your new one.
Thanks for having me, guys. What was the reason behind the mover? Is it a work thing, a criminal
pass that you're trying to outrun? What are we working with you? Oh, an X. An X is always a good reason
to move cities. I mean, I did recently change jobs and I work in an office with a lot more people
that are my age now. Nothing is older people, but it's nice of people that are my age now.
Oh, yeah, I wish we could have that here, but Brooke just keeps on coming back.
I don't know how it's happening.
I know, we're all like, geez.
I am not that much older than you.
No, that's fine.
You are also getting older, Jeffrey.
It's how it works.
No, I enjoy having your presence.
It's like a nice warm wisdom sort of thing.
So were you nervous moving to the new place, or did you know anyone there?
I didn't know anyone at the time.
I mean, I'm pretty friendly.
I can get to know people.
I mean, there's actually this one girl, Anna,
and we've been friendly at the office,
and we actually just have, like, a naturally good vibe together.
Oh, okay.
That's a little bit dangerous territory.
Dude, right when you come in, you're just going to move somewhere?
Yeah.
Were you thinking, like, romantically immediately with this woman?
No, not at all.
I just like her vibe, and it was her birthday the other day, actually.
So I wanted to do something special for her.
So I got her a birthday cake, but I also got this coffee mug with a dance.
dog on it because she said that she really loves dogs.
I'm confused. Is this, did you go on a date with her?
Did you hang out outside of the office?
Well, I, she really liked the mug that I got her.
She came to my desk and thanked me.
And I was like, you know, we should grab dinner some time to work.
And she was like, all right, yeah, it sounds great.
And so after work, we headed over to this restaurant.
It wasn't anything too fancy, just like a diner.
And I got to know her some more.
And I realized that I really enjoyed her energy.
And we kind of had a fun.
little moment, we ordered corn dogs and we interlocked our arms like when you would drink champagne to eat them.
So it's kind of funny.
You know, like when you do a big fancy toast with your new bride or whatever, and you interlock arms.
Yeah, but with corn dogs, it's a little bit of a different.
You mean it's classier.
Yeah.
I feel like you must have been getting a lot of looks from other people in the restaurant
seeing the corn dog interlock thing.
I thought we were just having fun and we were just in our own world.
And at the end of the night, I walked her back to her car.
And I asked that she wanted to go on a hike sometime.
And she seemed really into that.
And now she's just being super cold to me at the office.
And I'm not really sure why.
Okay.
So at any point, was it established that, I mean, it sounds like you were feeling romantic vibes from her.
But did you ever clearly state, I think this is a date?
And like, you know, she's single.
Yeah.
I mean, that's a good point.
We didn't talk about anything romantic.
And I never, we never brought anything up.
I thought we were having fun.
Yeah, but Brooke, it still doesn't change the fact that she's acting cold towards him now at the office.
Because it seemed like for the most part, they were getting along.
You don't think that that's just because she got freaked out?
Like, she thought it was a friend situation.
And then there was a moment, maybe it was with the corn dogs where she's like, oh, whoa, this guy thinks that we need to be dating.
You went real far down the corn dog.
Yeah.
Whose idea was the corn dog arm in her lock?
Who brought that up?
It kind of just happened.
I don't.
How does that just happen?
I love it, Dan.
It just seems so unnatural.
Well, for the record, we toasted the corn dogs and then we just...
Oh, no, you touched corn dogs?
That could be unsanitary.
Yeah, they touched hips and then they interlock.
I love this.
I want to do this with somebody.
So is there any awkward moments that stand out to you where you're like, whoa, maybe we're
not on the same page?
Not in my mind.
I thought we were just having fun.
I thought we had a good time.
It was all natural, all genuine.
I will say I did buy coffee mugs for some of my friends here at the other.
office and I have been reamed endlessly about how horrible the mugs are.
Started a fire in my home.
I can't wash it.
But the thought behind it, that was pretty nice.
And yet you are all obsessed with, oh, I nearly lost my life in an inferno.
You stood at an ABC wall of mugs and then picked out our first initial.
The fact that I remembered what your name start with should say wonders about how much I care about each and every one of you.
I was more surprised you went to anthropology to buy those.
That was impressive.
You are well.
Okay, wait, wait.
I want to know, is there any office gossip?
that you've heard of.
Because somebody's got to be talking like, oh, did you hear the new guy went out to dinner?
I mean, I'm not a gossip myself.
I try to focus on my work.
I mean, I'm still friendly with people, but I haven't heard any nastiness.
No one's tried to, like, pull a prank on me or anything.
Maybe should I be looking over my shoulder?
No, I don't know.
He doesn't know anybody yet to hear the tea.
Well, that's what I realized.
I mean, in the few minutes that we've spoken to, you seem like a really nice, pleasant guy.
But who knows, we could be totally wrong, and you might be a total nightmare.
So let's find out.
You might be the worst person we've ever spoken to.
So wait, we're going to call someone that's in his office with him?
I mean, is that what you want here?
I would like to find some answers why she's being cold to me now because I was nothing but a gentleman, I thought.
So we have to hit her extension.
Yeah, we'll figure it out.
We'll reach out to Anna, hopefully find out if you're the best or the worst guy to work with
when we come back and do your second date update right after this.
Thank you.
Yeah.
That's the correct response right there.
We'll try.
Hold on.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Second date update.
We've had definitely, like, tense second date calls before where things get surly between people.
But this could be a first where we're calling a woman who went out with a guy from the same office.
Our listener, a guy named Eric.
And our producer has asked Eric if he would stand up above his cubicle and look across the office down into her cubicle.
as we make this phone call
just to make it even more
juicy and traumatic.
Oh my gosh.
And Eric has selfishly
refused to do that.
Wow.
Don't let them make you do that.
Not much of a team player, are you,
Eric?
It would be a little weird.
And I might get fired for something like that.
I mean, I thought you'd want to alienate
everyone in your office space before, you know,
you really got to know them.
Yeah.
Is that not how it works?
I mean, it works for us on our show.
I don't know if it would work.
for him and his career.
But just to recap, real quick, Eric just moved to a brand new city.
He was liking the vibe he was getting from his co-worker Anna while they were working together.
There was even presents exchanged.
Yes.
Well, not exchanged.
He gave.
One way.
Yeah, for her birthday.
So he took her out to dinner.
They toasted corn dogs, interlocked arms while eating them.
And now all of a sudden it's weird?
Not sure how that's possible.
What you mean is they were having fun.
Like, he thought it was a...
genuine thing. We've worked together
for over 10 years. Has any of it been
fun? No. No.
That's why this is so strange.
We actually have a lot of fun when you
are in the other room. Yeah.
When I'm doing all the work.
Yes, sure. Okay.
Well, fun for you guys. Let's
continue to do our work and
call Anna here. Hopefully she picks up the phone
and we can get some answers. I just realized
this is your fun, huh? Yeah. When you're on the
air, this is the only fun. This is all I get.
That's sad. We're getting Starbucks after this.
Well, good for you.
Thank you, Alexis.
All right.
I'm just going to dial Anna.
Maybe she could be my friend.
Here we go.
Hello.
Hi, we're looking to speak with Anna.
May I ask who's calling?
Yes, you may.
You're so polite.
It's a business call, Jeff.
Oh, yeah.
I forgot.
We're a morning radio show.
We're called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Hi, good morning.
Let's keep a casual over here and do a segment.
You know, not the business stuff.
Sorry.
You're so weird, Jeff.
This is why we don't let him out of his room.
Okay.
I'm just saying, sorry to interrupt your day, but we're doing something that's called a second date update.
And we're trying to help out one of our listeners that you went out to dinner with recently.
A guy named Eric that you work with.
Yeah.
No, thanks.
I wish I hadn't gone out with that guy.
Oh.
Okay.
So there's a regret there.
Yeah.
That's a little bit unexpected.
it honestly because we talked to Eric and from what we heard about your hangout it sounded like
it was a really fun time.
I mean, this is kind of awkward.
Yeah, we know that.
Yeah.
This guy, Eric, he puts out this like really nice guy energy, but he's involved with a lot of
other people that I didn't know about.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
What do you mean?
Like, you're saying he has other girlfriends?
Well, I know he has one girlfriend.
Oh.
What?
Wait.
Just one?
Wait, how do you know that?
Like, I thought he was brand new to the city.
How could he already...
Well, for one, like, one of the girls in my office, he flirted with her all the time.
Okay.
Okay.
Are you sure he's not just being friendly?
No, he asked her out, too.
Oh.
He asked her out, yeah.
Oh.
And luckily, she didn't go out with him, but we looked into this guy.
We did some research on him, and we found out that he has an actual girlfriend that's not someone in our office.
Wait.
Really?
So he's asking out multiple women in your office while being in a relationship.
Like a distance relationship maybe or something?
Yeah, is it long distance?
Yeah.
I don't know if it's long distance or what it is.
I'm sorry.
It's just so weird always to have like a cheater like that call in to a very public radio station.
and risk outing himself.
Like what proved?
Alleged cheater.
Well, that's what I'm getting to.
We don't know that.
And allegedly popular.
What did you see?
Did you see something online where he said, I have a girlfriend?
Yeah, I found his Instagram and trust me, it just shows everything.
Okay.
Well, people can say anything on Instagram.
It doesn't mean it's true.
Well, they wouldn't put out lies about themselves on their own Instagram.
Happy three year anniversary.
My girlfriend.
Yeah.
He might just be like, you know, for cloud, for look.
It might not be real.
See, he doesn't get how social.
But I will say this.
A better argument would be it could be old photos from an ex, right?
Like maybe he hasn't taken that stuff down.
The last one that he posted was like three or four days ago.
Oh.
Together?
Shoot.
Oh.
Isn't that like the same time frame of when you guys were out to dinner?
Yeah, I went out with him like five days ago.
Okay.
Oh, wow.
This is going to be awkward for not the reasons I thought.
Oh, boy.
Yeah.
So clearly you're not into guys who already have girlfriends, which, you know, that's off to you.
I'm saying good for her.
But we didn't know about a girlfriend or anything like that when we talked to Eric.
And you should probably talk to him, too, because he's on the other line right now waiting to speak to you.
He's probably actually across the office, too.
But it'd be more fun if we could hear the phone conversation.
I'm confused because I don't understand what the issue is here.
You don't see the issue?
Eric, you already have a girlfriend.
I never said that I didn't have a girl.
Oh, my gosh.
You took me on a date.
No, no, it was not a date.
It was dinner so that you and I could become better friends.
Now you're backtracking.
Wait.
What?
It was totally a date.
This is a second date update.
You call it that.
I didn't call it a date.
It was a dinner.
So what were you one of?
to do just be friends with her?
Like this whole thing is a big misunderstanding.
Is that what you're trying to claim?
Look, here's what happened.
My girlfriend and I were talking about how my new job, I don't know anyone.
And so she suggested.
My girlfriend suggests that she should try and make more friends.
And she was supportive of that.
So then I go to work after our hangout and you've been treating me so cold.
I've been just doing what my girlfriend told me to do is to make friends.
Wow.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, Eric, I'm treating you cold because you're also hitting.
on another coworker
and flirting with everybody.
Yeah, that's a little suspicious. I'm not flirting with
anybody. I'm being nice. I'm not hitting on
anybody. I'm just being friendly and playful.
But you're only being friendly to the
attractive single women in the office.
Those are the people I vibe the best
with. They are friendly and fine.
So you say that your girlfriend
is supportive of you meeting new people
and making new friendships at work.
Does she know the full extent that
you're like asking these women out
to dinner with you.
She knows that I'm going out with people from work.
She doesn't need to know specifically how they look or their attractiveness level or what we
do our food.
Does she know you're writing into radio stations for dating segments?
And not mentioning you have a girlfriend at all.
In his defense, he says he's not after that, I guess.
I think that Eric is just trying to completely spin this because he was definitely into me.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I think you're flattering yourself a little bit.
Oh, see.
So now he can play the wow, I have a girlfriend, lady.
Yeah, and she wasn't even my type anyway.
Oh.
Well, that should be reassuring, Anna.
He's not attracted to you.
Even if you wanted him, you couldn't.
Yeah.
I mean, this is a new work environment for you.
What are you doing?
Well, I'm sorry you got the wrong impression.
That's what I will have thought.
I will say Brooke tries to buy me dinner all the time.
And it is a huge turnoff to me.
She's always like, Jeff, can I get you lunch?
Jeff, can I buy you meals?
Whatever.
She's direct.
She says, I'm attracted to you, Jeff.
I know.
The only turn off is when I ask you to pay me back.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
So you want this to be a date then?
No, I want you to go have these?
I buy lunch for everybody, Jeff.
You're disgusting, Brooke.
Your husband listens to this.
Well, you guys sound just as dysfunctional as this situation has been.
You're really making it worse.
Yeah, Brooke.
And I want you to know that I do still like you as a friend.
And if you are interested, I would.
hang out with you again in a non-romantic way.
So this whole time, all you wanted to do was to be friends with me.
Yes.
I mean, it's coming around the corner.
Maybe we can go bikini shopping sometime, right?
My treat.
Yeah, that's friends.
Is that a joke?
Are you joking?
Yeah, like I'll broken Jeff do.
Yeah.
But we're shopping for his bikini.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah.
Guess the tiny ones.
Because we'll know who looks better.
I'm being serious.
That's what friends do.
They go shopping together.
They have laughed.
They give each other their opinions on their bikinis.
On their bikinis.
You know?
That is the creepiest thing.
I was skeptical at first, but I'm fully come around on Eric and his desire for deep passionate friendship with you, Anna.
And if you agree to see him one more time, we would pay for your hangouts, your non-romantic bikini hangout.
I'm starting to understand why Eric had to move cities to find a new job.
You don't know that.
Anna, what do you think about giving Eric one more?
shot. I think I'm going to pass on Eric at the office. Oh, no. Just call workers, huh? Yeah, I just say,
try not to get yourself reported over there, Eric. Exactly. That's the last time I make friends in the office.
Oh, man. I have a feeling that's not true. Your girlfriend's going to be so disappointed when she
hears this. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. I had no idea that the number one friendship test to
gauge how close you are as friends involved trying on bikines.
and rating each other's looks in a totally platonic non-sexual way.
Oh, yeah.
That's so reassured.
That's normal.
I don't even want to try on bikinis with my girlfriends.
You must not like them very much.
No, Brooke, that's just what normal male and female friends do.
Do you even have any friends then, Brooke, if you haven't done this?
I'm sorry.
I can't stand that guy.
He was the worst.
I know for trying to find friendship at work.
Boom.
Screw you.
He was not trying to find friendship.
He's adjusting on the fly.
Yes.
Yeah.
And I'm sorry, but his girlfriend would not be okay with him bikini shopping with other single
women.
Yeah, come on.
You don't know.
Relationships look different to everybody.
You keep defending them.
You know, I think for our annual show camping trip, we need to scrap that, do an annual
show shopping trip to Pacific Sun get all matching swimwear.
I'm down.
Somehow that's still better than camping.
Yes, right?
Alexis is in.
We're all going bikini shopping this summer.
I'm into it.
Because we're friends.
But honestly, if Eric is being serious and he's looking for friendship, he probably should change his approach.
Dastically.
Dude, way to set the tone in a new city, too.
Yeah.
A tough workplace environment for him when that gets out.
Dude.
I think it's out.
Yeah.
He's going to be moving cities again very short.
Yeah.
Hey, honey, good news.
I'm moving back.
But we're in cities all over the country.
So no matter where you need help in your dating life, you can always email the show.
We'll call that person who's not calling you back.
It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
And I feel like we need to throw Brooke a bone every now and then.
Okay.
Because she goes to a lot in her life.
Her husband wants to drive a minivan.
That's true.
Her children aren't winning state softball championships just coming in seconds.
Just a second.
Yikes.
And her mother-in-law tries to show her how to be a better parent and a better lover.
But Brooke just won't listen.
But you don't want to be a better parent?
Which was.
So gross.
The second one?
Did you?
The second part of what he said.
Yeah.
Brooke is never listening to the full thing, does she?
So to cheer Brooke up today, let's do a quick candy update.
Yes.
Since just like Brooke, America loves candy.
What are you got, Jeff?
Especially Eminem's.
Yes, those were my favorite growing up.
And they just announced three brand new M&M flavors that are coming from their factories to your mouth.
Honestly.
The caramel one is so good.
They still haven't ever out.
done the peanut butter. Those peanut butter Eminem.
Okay, what do you got, Jeff?
Okay, Brooke, after I say each flavor, feel free to say yum, as enthusiastically or
non-enthusiastically as you want based on your excitement level. So the three new flavors
are Eminem's cherry chocolate cupcake.
Oh, cherries and chocolate are so good. Oh, tiny, very tiny. Very small, yum.
Cherry's my worst hated. I hate cherry flavor.
How about Eminem's lemon meringue pie?
Yeah, yeah.
I barely opened her mouth on that yum.
Why would you put chocolate with that?
They say it tastes good.
It's the tart with the sweet.
And Eminem's peanut butter cinnamon roll.
Are they going through an identity crisis over now we're talking about it?
What is happening?
Young?
That's just so much.
It's so much together.
I don't put peanut butter on my cinnamon rolls.
Not yet.
Not yet until you taste this.
I don't put chocolate on my cinnamon rolls either.
You're doing it wrong.
Another thing that your mother-in-law tries to tell you.
you to do and you won't listen.
So did these new candy options bring
any joy to Brooks Cold Blackheart?
Yeah.
Okay, not really.
We're defrosting a little bit.
It's a process.
I mean, I'll eat them to try it.
Yeah, of course, but you all like it.
Maybe Laser Stories will do the trick.
It's coming up right after this.
It's the radio segment that just partnered with
Life Alert in France to rename
their famous monument.
The Eiffel Tower and I can't get up.
The book your getaway now with laser stories
The segment where we read weird news stories around the globe
Just like everyone else does
Except we've got a laser
Those other Paris grannies just don't
This first laser story is out of Pittsburgh
If you've worked in law enforcement long enough
You may believe that you've seen everything
Especially if you work in Florida
But this criminal in Pennsylvania is a true original
Oh really?
A man named Theo Radson allegedly stole a $30,000 full-sized harp last week.
Whoa.
You know, the large musical instrument.
What are you going to do with that?
Like, where's the market to even resell that?
Sneak away and play it.
It's so crazy.
He took it down to the riverbank because it had wheels on it.
And then for some reason, Theo removed his clothes,
jumped into the water with the harp and started struggling in the river.
Don't!
Obviously, that's what you do.
With it broke, right?
There it is.
Yeah, self-explained.
He thought he was a cherub.
Not surprisingly a few minutes later, the police were called about some idiot drowning in the river holding a large harp.
At first, 911 thought that must be a joke.
But nope, it was actually true.
And luckily, rescuers were able to get there in time to pull both to shore.
I'm imagining he's playing the harp as they pull him out.
So it's like, da-da-l-l-l-l-ling, de-l-l-l-l-l-l-ing.
Why isn't the magic working?
Come on.
Theo was at the hospital now and is in stable condition.
He did speak with deputies, and they found out that somehow Theo thought the instrument could float
and that he could ride it down the river to his grandpa's house and then sell it on Craigslist.
I mean, you can do that with a banjo.
Oh, yeah, it's got enough air in it.
The owners are pursuing charges related to the stolen harps.
So Theo, most likely, will be serving time.
That's a bad.
He costs $30,000.
I know.
That's more than most boats.
Oh, yeah.
This next laser story is out of Vancouver, British Columbia.
Finally, a place where my work might actually be appreciated.
Because a new museum just opened in downtown called the Museum of Personal Failure.
How are we not a sponsor?
I've been waiting so long.
It's a pop-up for now. It's not permanent.
So the person behind it is a man named Avan Collins.
He came up with the idea after a recent breakup.
So a failed relationship.
Oh, God. Way to show her. You bounce back.
He's proud of it. He wanted to put posters up around Vancouver with the headline,
Failures Wanted.
Hey. All right. What do they got?
So what's in the museum? Featured items include a dead plant, a divorced woman's wedding dress.
Okay.
Failed art projects, an entire wall of rejected job applications.
Oh, I bet.
And a producer's music album that went absolutely nowhere.
Party's here.
There's a place for it now, and I love that.
Each one has a little write-up next to it that explains the entire backstory.
One guy just wrote a long list of all of his biggest fails in his life personally, and that made the cut.
He told a reporter that having his list of failures accepted into the museum,
felt like a success in a weird way.
Ironically, I feel like I want to get in here.
I know.
I feel like you'd leave the museum and being like,
not doing too bad.
Yeah, my life could be saddered.
Yeah.
So good for that guy.
And Avan's message overall is that his museum
is just a celebration of the fact
that failure is okay.
Yeah, just part of the road to success, Jeff.
Yes, everybody fails.
It's the only way you'll actually learn and grow.
Absolutely.
Let's go to your final laser story out of
Hibernation Heights.
Ooh, I want to be there right now.
Groundhog day is coming up on February 2nd,
and you know who is not looking forward to it?
Who?
Pida.
Where we go?
Okay.
They've been calling for Punksitani Phil's replacement for years now,
and this time they may have hit on a solution.
They want the Groundhog Club to, quote,
chuck its tired tradition of harassing a shy animal,
and instead replace him with a giant,
3D hologram.
Whoa.
I thought we were going to for sure do AI Phil.
Yeah.
Well, that's basically what it is.
Oh, it is.
It's an AI mockup where he's 20 feet tall with words over his head that say six more
weeks of winter or early spring.
Dude, they should let him talk and give him like celebrity voices and stuff.
They said they can make him talk too.
Wow.
And just so you know, the winter version of Pung Satani is blue and the spring one is pink
with flowers all around.
I see.
So that's how you know.
It's kind of like a gender reveal for weather.
Exactly.
Can we get to see summer, Phil, for the first time?
Oh, that'd be,
all the seasons.
Or shorts.
jumps out in a bikini.
Yeah.
That's hot.
PETA says they'll even cover the cost of the hologram projector.
If the Groundhog Club is willing to, quote,
retire Phil to a reputable sanctuary with his family.
You know, I feel they should take him up on that offer.
Who's still going to watch the Groundhog come out?
Is that still a thing?
And it's so inaccurate.
How dare you say that about Phil?
Well, honestly.
Brooks is looking at him like,
Mm, lunch.
I know.
If he sees his shadow,
that means the sun is out,
so shouldn't it be early?
Okay, it's always bothered me.
It doesn't make sense.
Really?
A tradition that's 200 years old
is bothersome to you.
It should be that spring is coming early
because the sun is out
because if you have a shadow,
there has to be light.
All right.
But it's the opposite.
This is why we just watched the ground,
I wouldn't question. It's just a fun tradition, but the Groundhog Commission is not going to budge on it.
And this isn't the first time Pete has pitched an alternative option.
Last year, they offered a vegan-friendly weather reveal cake.
Cut into it.
And two years ago, they suggested flipping a giant golden coin because that would technically be more accurate.
Since Phil's only been right on his predictions about 40% of the time.
Oh, wow.
Embarrassing, Phil.
Don't even come out of the hole this year, Phil.
That is a shockingly bad results.
I've never seen Brooke so angry about any things.
It's just so stupid.
Personally, I mean, I do have a different idea.
Why not put this guy front and center?
And if he pokes his head out of his shell,
it means he's going to be horny for six more weeks.
And that's something I think we can all get behind.
The sound means laser stories has come to an end for the
We'll do it again. Same time on Friday.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
I am tired of our listeners living in fear.
Yeah.
Fear of humiliation.
Fear of condemnation.
Fear of Brooke Fox and her endless reign of terror.
Oh, man.
I look around and I do see some brave souls who are tired of being pushed around and
constantly told, hey, I'm richer and I'm smarter than you.
And they are ready to rise up in resistance.
Okay.
Like today's caller, Jessica, who says she harbors a healthy mix of fear and respect for the
woman we fondly nickname the warden.
So Jessica, what would you like to say to the warden's face and make sure you don't
look her directly in the eyes when you say it?
What do you want to say?
Oh, God.
Don't look away.
Don't get you.
Don't let the fear takeover.
That was a really big setup.
I don't know how to finish that one.
You're not leading the revolution.
I'll tell you that.
I know. I'm really not.
Oh, man.
Like, well, I don't know, guys.
Terror wins this round, but Brooke's going to leave the studio.
We can muster up some courage for you, Jessica, after you play the game.
30 seconds on the clock to answer as many questions as possible.

All right.
Well, well done there, Jessica.
Now, Brooke is back in the studio.
It's okay.
Oh, Warden's back.
We'll keep you safe.
It's okay.
Now, something about Jessica that I like here, I'm seeing on my screener,
is she's hoping that this year she gets to go on at least one vacation.
Oh, that's fine.
What are you going to do on your vacation, huh?
Thailand is.
the number like is the frontrunner.
I also live in Thailand right now.
I look so fun. That's where I spent my honeymoon.
10 out of 10 would recommend.
Nice.
Brooke, are you offering to give Jessica your husband
to take with her to Thailand so she can
have just as magical and experience?
Him and a really cool Thai guide
that we had up in the northern part.
Oh, thank you.
Two men for one.
That is a bogo.
Perfect.
Thailand's got something for everyone.
What are you most looking forward?
to about Thailand, like what intrigues you the most?
Oh my gosh, it's just so luxurious and like relatively affordable for what you're getting.
That's for sure.
We did eat some snake that the guy had shot with a pistol.
Handgun?
Yeah.
I'm like, who did you get that?
And he's like, by the river and he held up his gun.
I was like, all right.
Looks like we have a delicacy tonight.
Snake from dinner.
Luxury.
Lucky you, Jessica.
Can't wait.
Now it's Brooke's turn.

Oh, in your ear.
A shooting star is actually a what?
Meteorite.
How many states sit on land bought by the Louisiana purchase, more or less than 10?
States.
Brooks feeling confident in that last answer.
We're going to go to scoreboard and see how you both did with Jose.
Nottie boy.
Balanos?
Jessica, you got three correct today.
All right.
Yeah.
Brooke, you did get an extra question.
And?
Five correct.
The warden strikes again.
The reign of terror continues.
I'm sorry, Jessica.
Let's go over the answers for everybody.
It's Lego Day.
Legos are a Danish company.
Australia is both a continent and a country.
The LPGA would be a ladies golf sport.
Ladies Professional Golf Association.
If someone takes her axillary temperature,
they put the thermometer in your armpits.
You both got it wrong.
She said butt.
I was going to say that one, too.
That's a different type.
A shooting star is actually a meteor.
We did give you that.
It's a meteor that's coming through the atmosphere.
