This week, I am joined by Anna Runkle, also known as the crappy childhood fairy, a creator, teacher, and guide helping people heal from the lasting emotional wounds of unsafe or chaotic childhoods. That talking about trauma isn't always great for people.

It's not always the best thing. About a third of people who were traumatized as kids feel worse when they talk about it. get very dysregulated. Listen to a really good cry on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I just feel like so grateful for our listeners. Yeah, we love you guys every day, but this is the day that it's even more than normal.

Really? Today is the day that your Spotify wrapped came out and everyone is tagging us and letting us know how much they enjoyed the podcast for the year. We topped the charts this year at number three on Spotify, which is crazy. So it was a huge year for our podcast. and I just want to say thank you so much

for all of your support because it means the world. And we love when you tag us and stuff on Insta, your wrapped photos and anything. But one of our listeners, Kenzie, who I know, she actually texted me. Oh, she did. Oh, yeah, personally texted me. And we are second to big booty mix.

She wanted to apologize. But let me know, we're right behind them. I mean, with Alexis and I on this show, it's like little booty mix over here. All right. Well, hey, thank you again. By the way, do you have all the listeners numbers? Do you have all the listeners?

How does that work? I'm not. hard to give it out for you. I don't play hard to get. All right. Thank you for being here. Please keep tagging us at Brick and Jeffrey. We have a brand new full show for you right now. We got a brand new laser story, second day. All the fun. It starts. Okay. Now. Who here went ham on Cyber Monday? And I want to know a few of the deals he ended up getting. I actually did Black Friday. Oh, my God. I got some new curtain rods that I'm very excited about.

Whoa. You're giving that to your five-year-old? Oh, man, what a deal. Alexis, did you get the 80% off eyelash glue from T-Mu? Oh, no, I already have that. Oh, you're okay. But I did get HBO Max for $3 a month. Dang, that's actually a deal.

I have to pay for that one. Yeah, and it will have ads, trust me. It will, yeah, yeah, for sure. Jose, you shop it up, too? Yeah, I got my parents a new TV. Oh, wow. They're super cheap, I promise. You bought it somebody in TV is wild, but aren't they cheap?

They are cheap nowadays. They're cheap? Yeah. Everything's expensive. You can have like a 75-inch TV? And you don't have to buy it from anyone's trunk anymore? No. Best buy dot-off.

You broke the last one, didn't you? Yeah. No, it's time for them. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Anyway, the reason I bring up Cyber Monday is because the numbers are in. And last year we spent $11.8 billion on it. Oh, my God. That's so gross. Projected this year was 12.5.

And? We kind of overshot it in a minute. Oh, no. Over. $15.2 billion spent on Cyber Monday. That's nuts. So many curtain rods? So many.

I did buy two. Wow. Yes. A backup just in case. Yeah, they're 40% off. That's amazing. No surprise. The peak was from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Right in the middle of the work day. Where Americans were spending $13 million per minute. Yeah. Dang. I mean, I totally didn't do it during work hours. No, absolutely. And no surprise, looks like in-store sales continued to trend down. Oh, but I like going to the store.

Oh, like the brick and mortar. Yeah. Not just on Cyber Monday, but the entire Thanksgiving weekend. I saw an interview with some Jen Ziers that were in line, like, stayed in line all night just for the experience of what it was like. Oh, yeah, because you don't have to do that. And the news asked them, like, was it worth it? And they're like, no. No.

It's 2025. Yeah. Maybe we shouldn't have ever done that. But that's the thing. Seriously. The feeling among more and more people is, Why battle the crowds when you can just shop from your bed? Seriously.

Or in Brooks case, the toilet. Which is also the bed? Not at work. I swear it was not at work. It is where she's having dinner, though. So don't interrupt her. And it's the dinner table. We got half off diamond studded dog shock collars.

Are we fancy? Yep. Just for this special shock collar question of the day. So who's going to be blinged out while they're singed out? We'll find out in just a second, Jake. Let's do it. Back in this day in 2019, Spotify Crown Drake, as the king of streams for that decade,

the 2010s, he still is. With 28 billion listens. Yeah. We're close. We're really close with our podcast. I mean, apparently the world needed to hear hotline blink 20 billion times. He's going to be able to listen to it right now.

But now, we're halfway through the 2020s. Things have definitely changed, and Drizzi has slipped all the way down to number three all time. Gross. Like, why it's embarrassing. It's number one last year. Kiki, apparently. doesn't love him that much.

That's why today, you'll have to guess the rest of the top 10 during a special streaming, supreming edition of plenty of 20. Oh, man. Now, listen up. Alexis, listen up. Oh, listening. I have a list of the top 10 most streamed music artists of all time. Okay.

The top 10. All time. You just have to say a name from the list and you'll get to stay in the game. Okay. Most streamed of all time. Ten of them. I feel like you're emphasizing all time because it's old people. Is that?

No, I'm just saying, streaming happened recently, so probably going to be top on streaming apps, of which we want to name. We'll start with the woman who's publicly had to deny rumors that she's a secret love child from one of Drake's Flings with Barb. Oh. Remember the Rose Garden in 1998? Barb does. Uh-oh.

That's Alexis. I want Drake Girls. I'll call Barb so bad. All right, Alexis. In front of me, I have a list of the top ten. most streamed music artists of all time you have heard of every one of these people. Oh good, thank you. You just have to name one

to stay in the game. Okay, I'm going to go with my favorite, and I think he's most streamed around the world is Bad Bunny. Oh, that's the one I wrote down. Bad Bunny is number two all time. Ninety 8.7 billion in streams. All right, Brooke, number two is off the boy. Can you get

any of the other nine? I feel like I'm actually going to guess number one right now. Oh, go for it. And this is the person that literally just says they're going to release a song. and it's somehow streaming before it's released, Taylor Swift. Oh, duh. Taylor Swift, it's number one on my list. A hundred and fourteen point seven billion streams.

That is insane. All right, Jose, number one and two are gone. Can you name any of the other most streamed music artists of all time? Well, I had my answer stolen. I thought I was sneaky with Bad Bunny, but he's the second streamed all time. So I don't think any of the top ten are going to be sneaky. Yeah, I know. So I'm gonna go with the least sneaky person I can think of now as Beyonce.

Beyonce. Hey. Beyonce did not make our top 10. I'm sorry, Jose. I was saving the easy answer, too. I'll tell you, number 10 on our list, streamed 47.6 billion times, so that's the number you have to cross to get onto the list. Jeffrey, we're going on to you. We're talking top 10 most streamed music artists of all time, and I need an answer from you.

Why do I have a feeling you have no idea who's actually on this list? There's the obvious answer. I am following that exact feeling, Brooke, so that's why I'm just... I'm going to have to go off of what my personal friend and fourth favorite co-worker, Brooke Fox, was saying the other day. She said this person has been more influential in her life than her parents, her husband. This is not going to be. This is going to be somewhat offensive. She says all of her sorority friends, all listen to this.

If it's not Britney Spears. No, it's not. It's Kanye West. Oh, God. Big influence on Brooks life. Yikes. Kanye. Number nine.

Thanks for that, Brooke. Of course he's number nine. 50.3 billion streams, and we're back to Alexis. I have seven names left on the board. If Drake's on there, I'm going to go his rival, Kendrick. Oh, good call. Kendrick Lamar. Not on the list.

Alexis is out. Brooke, you need to get this right to stay in the game. He's so terrible that Kendrick didn't make it. I know. Kendrick's, wait, better. Okay, let's say Justin Bieber. Justin Bieber Number seven on the list

I want you guys to say what I'm thinking so bad Jose is bursting He can't He lost I'm out of the games I'm out of the list All right Jeffrey, you need to name one You gotta go with one of the all-time greats

Give me the Beatles Streaming The Beatles Did not make the top ten Not even after their reunion tour Oh man The post-mortem reunion tour There's two of her

It was very scary tour. Jose, what was the name that you were going to say? I was going to say Drake. Yeah, Drake was on the list, you guys. And I was like, oh, I'm going to leave it for later. Well, Jose got that right, but Brooke has won today's edition of Palencia of 20. Let's go over some of the names you guys miss like. The Weekend is number four.

Ariana Grande rounds out the top five at $59 billion. Ed Sheeran at $56.6 billion. Eminem was number 8 at 53.5. That's a duh. Post Malone. 47. Oh, really? Billion streams.

Yeah. Everyone's, there's a bunch of fans that want him to do the next year's Super Bowl after his Thanksgiving show. Well, he'd be perfect. He can do country and rap. Yeah, yeah. He'd be rude to invite a Cowboys fan to the Super Bowl. Fair point. Brooke, you want so you get to choose who get shocked and somebody wanted to hear Shake it off by Kanye's sworn enemy, Taylor Swift.

Oh, gosh. Who's it going to be? The woman with the most rhythm in the world, let's give it to Alexis. She could dance like Taylor. Brace yourself. Because the player's going to play, play, play, play, play, play. And the haters going to hate, hate, hate, hate, hate. Baby, I'm just going to shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it off.

We all got to shake that off. That was your shock collar question of the day. We got your phone tab coming up in just a few minutes. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. What's the hardest part of working in this career, do you think? In radio? Yeah. I mean, you might think it's the early hours or the lack of air conditioning or heat depending on how cheap the company is being that quarter.

But no, I think the most strenuous part of this job is, can Jose remember his own story? That is so true. He does take a lot of notes for his own stories. The producer spoke with him, and there was a the in it somewhere. He remembers that much It was either something about accidentally buying pregnancy vitamins online Or something super cute

happened in a penguin video He watched on Tooby the other night I mean it's like why can't it be both for Jose? It is both but what do I say first brook? Oh wait was that Steve Harvey in a tuxedo Not a penguin Oh it's hard to tell Jose is not sure

Will he be able to remember His own personal story so he can tell it. Hey, I hope so. The suspense. I don't know what I'm going to say after now. He doesn't even know. The world is waiting with baited breath for a brand new what's on your mind coming up right now.

It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning and there's a lot of smug judgmental people out there. I could tell by just looking at them. Not us. No. No. Not during this segment. What's on your mind where we go around the room and share what we've. all been thinking about lately. No smugness about it. Starting with Brooke. Brooke, what's on

your mind? Well, every year we spend the Thanksgiving holiday with my husband's family. And every year, I'm always surprised what it's like to be a part of a fit, healthy family. Because that's who they are. They're all tall and skinny and athletic. Are they turkey trotters? Oh, they are. Oh, no. We got a turkey trotter. Let me tell you. We had to get up at 6.30 in the morning to make sure that we made 5K run the day of Thanksgiving. That's right. There was a debate in the car whether or not we should do the 10K. Luckily

they stuck with a 5K. Anyone feeling frisky, want to double it up? You know I finish last. Then we get home and we're all like, I'm like, yes, we watch a parade and we veg out on football all day. Oh no. One game of football is enough. Okay?

Not healthy to have that much screen time. Well, that's fair. I mean... No, what do you do? What's the biggest loss? Then we're cooking. Okay. And I hear from the kitchen, my sister-in-law go, oh, don't make much mashed potatoes. Brooke made sweet potatoes.

Like, no. No, those are different things. You need both. You need a pile of both. We need lots. Yeah. They pull out three potatoes for all 12 of us. Just because you guys don't hate yourself doesn't mean that you should not give us food.

And I understand why, because I was the only person who went back for seconds. No way. Which is great. It's more food. for me. I know, but everybody sees you get up. It is awkward.

I'm like, why did we do the 5K if we're not going to have 800 pounds of food right now? That's funny because I usually wait for someone to get up so I can get up to get up to get a few seconds but like nobody was getting up for you.

Just me and I'll tell you, I eat every single type of pie. Oh, yeah. You went for the whole thing. I was able to give them recommendations on what small piece they should have. Okay. So your strategy for next year

is make a bunch of food that they all hate. So more for Brooke. I mean, I don't even know that I have to try. Yeah. They already do hate it. It was great, though. That's awesome.

Jose, what's been on your mind? Well, as a comedian of over a decade, I've performed in front of all types of crowds. But over the Thanksgiving holiday, I faced my absolute biggest challenge in my comedy career. Oh. That is entertaining four middle schoolers. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So my nephew had his friends over for a movie night.

He's in middle school now, right? 13. Middle school boys. Yeah, well, there was a couple girls there. Oh, okay. Actually, I made that joke at first. I was like, how many of them are girls? All of them?

Just. Anyway, so, all right. So, you guys already see what's coming. I feel like they didn't want to be entertained. So here's the thing. Well, of course they don't. But I was like, I am going to crack these kids up by being cringe. Like, I know how to do that, right?

So you're going to read it. So all the kids sit down for the movie, right? And then my dad's asking everyone their names. And at the end, I point to my nephew. And I'm like, hey, what's your name? Sally? Because I would know his name. That's my name.

The kids didn't laugh at all. It was too highbrow. They didn't get it. So I was like, no, I got to take my L. I'm going to leave the room. I'll come back. That's okay. So I get back, I come to check on the kids later on the movie.

And I'm like, what's up? The kids love being checked on. Yeah. And I'm like, what's up, my skitties? Hey. Right? Speaking their language? Crickets.

Oh, no. So then I'm like, how's the movie? Is there any six sevens in the house? In the house? Any kids? Are you a six-seven? Oh, God. And, yeah, literally ate the worst pile of poo ever done on stage.

It was cringe, it was awful. They're more like cats, like the more you ignore them. Yeah, yeah. Like you like you. Alexis, what's been on your mind? So I went to visit some of my family for Thanksgiving, and we have a new tradition, I think, that's going to catch on.

Oh, okay. Yes, and it is gambling. And not at a casino. It's that my grandma lives about a mile from the state line. And if you cross it, you can do the slot machine apps. You know, the casino apps. Yep.

So just on your phone. Oh, yep. You can make real money on that. Exactly. After dinner, we loaded into Grandma's minivan. We drove five minutes. And we parked in like a. neighborhood that was just right across the border.

Everybody downloaded the casino app and we sat there for an hour. I love that. That's kind of cute. It's just like what the pilgrims did at their first Thanksgiving. They drove from Plymouth down to Atlantic City and they put it all on black. I would like to be thankful for these three cherries. Three cherries.

Exactly. We did that. We all waited until we were up a little profit and then we drove on home. You won money? I did. How much? I got 200 bucks. Hey. And we all. And we all went home richer.

So if you want to try it, highly recommend gambling with your family. I don't know if we can really say it. Responsibly. It's bonding. All right, Jeffrey, what's on your mind? Well, my parents came to visit for Thanksgiving. Oh, you hosted it. I hosted.

Whenever they fly out, though, they like to rent their own car. Okay. Apparently, on the drive from the airport to my house, they spotted our radio station vehicle on the freeway. Oh, with our pictures on it. It's an SUV. It's wrapped. It's got all of our photos. It says Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

What are the chances that your mom is driving and sees it? Exactly. They saw it, got very excited. Oh, I bet. And they wanted a photo. Oh, no. Keep in mind, this is on the freeway, traveling at like over 60 miles an hour.

For some of all. Probably they're on their way headed to like some gas station giveaway. So my mom tells my dad to floor it and get closer. No. No. They start weaving in and out of traffic. trying to get close enough to get a photo. The promotions person driving the vehicle,

I'm assuming, notices this crazy boomer couple pursuing them on the freeway. They probably think it's a road rage incident. Like they cut them off and now these crazies are going to get them. I imagine your mom with her phone out the window. Yeah, so now they go into evasive driving mode trying to escape the psychopaths, pursuing them on the freeway. This goes on for a few minutes until eventually the radio hits.

the exit ramp and my parents lose them. Oh, wow. Like, we should give our promotions team a race. Like, that's a pretty incredible driver. My mom would disagree with me. She immediately got to my place and started writing an angry email to our radio station, saying the driver was very rude and inconsiderate. Like, really, that's the way you treat your fans?

Oh, okay. Does she know she could come here and take a photo with them anytime? Yeah, you can send them one. She could look at me. You're at the house. I'm there. But no, she needed the picture. You already know one of the promo people in the break room today is going to be like,

dude, there was this crazy coffee. Yeah, yeah. Whoever was driving the radio van right before Thanksgiving, my mom hates you. Congratulations. I thought we were going to say, I'm sorry, but all right. That's what's on our minds. You can text in to 78592 and tell us what's been on yours. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning,

and we got our listeners blown up our text board right now at 7852, sharing what's been on their minds. This one says, listening to you guys while shoveling snow in Ontario, Canada, makes it slightly easier to forget how cold I am. Oh, my God. There's already snow up there. Yeah.

Dang. I've seen the ratings, and our show is number one in cold weather places with men 70 plus. So I'm glad to keep on hitting that demo. Good morning, Wyoming. But be careful of slippery steps. We need you guys to say healthy.

We need those ratings. Another text in 78592 says, What's on my mind? People that will show up to swim after you're already at the spot fishing. Go to another area. You're going to swim when you see people fishing. That is so rude.

You're scaring all the fish away. Maybe you are the fish. Oh. No. Yeah, maybe. Maybe the issue is you're fishing in a public pool. Oh, yeah. Maybe you're the problem.

Yeah, okay. The kids are in the shallow section. Like, can you move your boat? Another text says, I'm a 6-year-old guy from Houston. My daughter turned me on. What? To you. Don't pause that.

Jeff. Sorry, I shouldn't have paused. I started listening to your second dates and ended up going from the beginning and I'm almost caught up to date in less than six weeks. It's crazy, but I can't start my day or my morning drive without Brook and Jeffrey. I feel like there should be a before and after study done on people to binge like that. There's got to be side effects. Yes, just the mental deterioration. Somebody has to document it.

We're going to document a whole lot of deterioration right after this. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Let's face it, the very first lie that you ever told as a child was probably terrible. Yeah, yeah. When your mom caught you and you told her something like, no, I didn't eat the entire cake and smear the frosting all over my bed. A ghost did that. Oh, a lot of ghosts do. They love chocolate.

They do. Not a great lie, but it's your first one, you know, and you'd assume that as we get older, we'd get much better at lie. But not so much. Not all of us. Because every week people get caught cheating and they will come up with the worst excuses you've ever heard to get out of it. No, I didn't hook up with your sister at our wedding. A ghost wearing my tuxedo dress.

Still the ghost? Never got off of that ghost. Same ghost. Yeah. As unfortunate as that is, we are thankful for those terrible, unfaithful liars, though. Because we get to hear all about them and laugh during a brain. new edition of Busted. It's coming up right after this.

I'm Robert Smith, and this is Jacob Goldstein, and we used to host a show called Planet Money. And now we're back making this new podcast called Business History, about the best ideas and people and businesses in history. And some of the worst people, horrible ideas, and destructive companies in the history of business. Having a genius idea without a need for it is nothing. It's like not having it at all. It's a very simple, elegant lesson. Make something people want. First episode, how Southwest Airlines use cheap seats and free whiskey

to fight its way into the airline business. The most Texas story ever. There's a lot of mavericks in that story. We're going to have mavericks on the show. We're going to have plenty of robber barons. So many robber barons. And you know what? They're not all bad.

What do you tell men that are hurting right now? Everything's going to be okay on the other side, you know, just push through. And, you know, ironically, the root of the word spirit is breath. Wow. Which is why one of the most revolutionary acts that we can do as peoples just breathe. Next to the wound is their gifts. You can't even find your gifts unless you go through the wound. That's the hard thing.

You think, well, I'm going to get my guess. I don't want to go through all that. You've got to go through the wounds you're laughing. Listening to other people's near-death experiences, and that's all they say. In conclusion, love is the answer. Listen to Sacred Lessons as part of the My Coutura Podcast Network, available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Hi, Dr. Lori Santos from the Happiness Lab here.

It's the season of giving, which is why my podcast is partnering with Give Directly, a nonprofit that provides people in extreme poverty with the cash they need. This year, we're taking part in the Pods Fight Poverty campaign. And it's not just the Happiness Lab. Some of my favorite podcasters are also taking part. Think Jay Shetty from On Purpose, Dan Harris from 10% Happier, and Dave Desteno from How God Works, and more. Our goal this year is to raise $1 million,

which will help over 700 families in Rwanda living in extreme poverty. Here's how it works. You donate to give directly, and they put that cash directly into the hands of families in need, because those families know best what they need, whether it's buying livestock to fertilize their farm, paying school fees or starting a small business. With that support, families can invest in their future and build lasting change.

So join me and your favorite podcasters in the Pods Fight Poverty campaign. Head to give directly.org slash happiness lab to learn more and make a contribution. And if you're a first-time donor, giving multiplier will even match your gift. That's give directly.org slash happiness lab to donate. If one of us wins, we all win. I'm Ashley Reinfeld, and I'm the host of the one. women's skateboarding podcast. Good luck with that. Good luck with that is a skateboarding podcast that is part cultural record, part news brief, mostly group therapy, and a place to talk

about the past, present, and future of women and gender expansive skateboarding. This week, me and my co-host, Nora Vascenzelos and Alex White, we have Fabiana Delfino on the show, a professional skateboarder from Florida, whose grit was forged in a family of athletes. Tune in to hear how she broke into the boys club, what it takes to be pro, and why just being grateful you're here shouldn't be the price of entry. Maybe the industry thinks that we just started skating five years ago, because that's when they maybe started paying attention.

It's a no-fluff conversation about putting in the years, stacking clips and receipts and still having to prove your worth while the industry catches up. You break down the door, sick now like hold the door for everyone. We created good luck with that because we want to share our experience of existing in an industry that wasn't always

built for everyone. So listen to good luck with that on iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Sneaky husbands, two-timing lives, bad boyfriends, and even worse girlfriends, they thought they could get away with it. But now, they're about to get busted. It's true, some children will end up on the naughty list this year because they talk back to their parents or sold their mommy's underwear to strangers on Craigslist. Oh, that's bad. But listen, some adults will end up on the naughty list.

list too, because they did other unspeakable things that may have also involved mommy Zundis and strangers. That's why we created this segment called Busted, so we could hear the stories about how your past loves put themselves on the naughty list by being unfaithful.

Because shaming your exes for their dumb life choices, that's what the holidays are really about. Thanks, Jeff. So let's start off the celebration today with Nathan. Nathan, tell us how you busted your significant other. Yeah, so my community has like a neighborhood watch program. And one night I wake up because my phone has an alert and it said suspicious activity in the community behind the garden, which actually is pretty close to my house.

Okay, so you're heavily involved with the neighborhood watch. You know, we take care of everybody. So I go look outside the window and already there are neighbors out there with flashlight. And then I hear police sirens, and I'm like, hey, I don't want to miss a good time. Police are involved. Okay. And I go there to see what's happening, and I'm standing there horrified to find my girlfriend there half naked in the toolshed. Oh, well, maybe she just likes to get more spiritual with the plants.

Yes, in the middle of the night, apparently. It's a movie garden. And standing there with her, hooking up with her is my neighbor Dave. Oh, not Dave. Oh, wow. No, but it's worse because he's like 25 years older than me. He has literally retired and on Social Security just hang it out at his pee patch all day. Oh, okay.

She heard that he had green thumbs and she was like, ooh, I want to get to know those. From all the money. Yeah, sure. Like, I had no idea. That's where you go to pick up chicks. A garden? Ladies like carrots, okay, of all kinds. Oh, wow.

Diamonds, real ones. Yeah. She said Karen. Yeah, Brooke, we just stop talking and we keep going to the next person. Let's talk to Cassidy here. Tell us how you busted your significant other. All right. So my girlfriend of the time used to listen to a popular dating podcast.

Uh-oh. Okay. Ours? I know. That's why I said, uh-oh. No, no. No, no. No.

No. Okay. So the female host is playing a voicemail message from listeners who are calling in with questions, you know, like you guys do. Okay. Do I recognize my girlfriend's voice? Oh. It's not good that she's calling a dating podcast. Yeah, what's the question?

Maybe it's like, what should I get you for your birthday? How do I propose? Okay. Well, no, she actually wasn't asking questions. She was calling in to give advice to other listeners. Oh. Okay. Okay.

This also doesn't feel bad. Yeah. Until you hear what she said. What did she say? She says, if your significant other ever texts you, where are you? Quote, just say you're at a yoga class. even if you're not. Flexibility is key.

Oh, that's sketchy. It's a little sketchy, but it doesn't mean she's cheating. Yeah, and I do agree with like the flexibility thing. Yoga does help with that, Jeff. It's a little nice touch on it. Yeah, so it could have been innocent, but now I have it in my head, and a few nights later, she leaves my place, so I follow her. Uh-oh.

Follow her. Yep, she goes into an apartment complex, so I text her. Where are you? Uh-huh. Guess what she said, guys. Oh, God. Of course. She says, I'm at a yoga class.

Oh, no. They could be doing yoga in the apartment. I bet they are. Yeah. Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, God. What happened?

Yeah, she may have been, but 10 minutes later, she walks out with another woman holding hands and kissing. Oh, right. That's not a yoga move. Namaste. Now, nobody's going to trust their yoga people. I had a couple. Yikes. Oh, Cassidy, I'm sorry to hear that.

But thank you for sharing. Finally, let's talk to Gustav. Tell us how you busted your significant other. My girlfriend and I were at a wedding together. Okay. And she told me she had to go take some picks with the bride and her friends. All right. That makes sense.

Sus, super suss. Oh, yeah. I forget bride's hate photos. Yeah. I don't believe it. Anyway, keep going. So I'm not cool. That's cool, like y'all.

And I was drunk, dancing, having a good time. There you go. Until I realized that a ton of time had gone by. Oh. Whoa. Like four days? How far? It felt like four days.

It was like probably an hour and a half. Uh-oh. That's a long time. Okay. So you go looking for her, right? I was like looking around. Yeah. I was, where was she?

She wasn't around. So I basically found her stumbling out of a photo booth. Uh-oh. And her neck was all red. And it was just like she had been having a makeup. session for like the last hour and a half she'd been missing. Oh, she had pickies.

Wait. Did you see the other person? Well, they went out the other side apparently because when I looked in there, there was nobody in there. Okay, so did the photos come out and you saw something? Oh, that's smart, Brooke. I didn't see the photos and I wish I would have. It doesn't sound like

they were actually taking any photos in there, Brooke. Ah, that's a good point. Yeah, they didn't put any money in here. This is the difference between a guy catching a cheater and a woman. We would have searched that photo history on the machine. I'm pretty sure she's cheating. Come on. I would have called the company.

Yes. Yes. I don't think they would want to document the cheating, but did you talk to her? This is what's so funny. She said she was the victim of a crazy dog attack. Oh. Oh, wow. Those happened at photo booths all the time.

Yeah, a lot of crazy dogs at weddings. I guess right, it wouldn't stop licking me. Yeah. I don't know why she didn't just go with, she had an allergic reaction to a feather boa. Yeah. I mean, that's an obvious. Again, woman. better.

Exactly. Well, at least that story had a happy ending. You can 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. We got your phone tap coming up right after this.

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. It is phone tap time, and we've been conspiring with a lady's husband for weeks so that we could do this at the perfect time. Okay. Timing is everything in these, Jeff. Because the thing is, they're having some workers over

to re-shingle their roof today. Okay. Which normally, that's a project that takes several days to complete. So imagine her surprise when we call her just 20 minutes after she left her house to tell her, hey, it's finished. 20 minutes, huh? Quick. And the only reason we got it done so quick is because of the fall special. Uh-oh.

You'll find out what that is in your phone tab. Next. It's another phone tab. And a weekday mornings on the 20s. Hello? Hey, Gina, we're all done here. I'm sorry, who is this? What is this?

Oh, hi. Sorry, I'm one of the roofers. You talked to Marty about 20 minutes ago before you left for work, right? Yeah, I did. That was 20 minutes. He told me to call you and let you know that we're all finished. How, wait, how are you finished? Yeah, I just left.

It actually turned out to be easier than we thought it would be. Plus, with the fall special that you signed up for, you know, that's a much different project than actually putting shingles on. Okay, listen, I'm a little confused here, and I'm starting to freak out. Can you please elaborate? I mean, we're finished, like I said, and all that you have to do now is depending on the wind, or if it's like a stormy day, just use the ladder on the side of the house, go up and adjust the zip ties. I'm sorry, what?

What do you mean? Zip ties. I've never had to do anything with zip ties. I'm sorry. I thought Marty explained this to you. You know, when you got the fall special, you got $500 off? Yeah, but there's no mention of a ladder. What that means is we don't do anything about your old leaky roof.

We just cover the whole thing in a giant sheet of plastic wrap and zip tie it to the gutters. That's not a real thing. I do understand like cosmetically it's not the best to look, but it does work for a few weeks at least. This is insane. No, I need the roof actually fixed. This was not discussed with me. Well, it was written down for you on the paper that you signed for the fall. false special. I'm sorry, I thought you understood what was happening. Why would you think that I would want a tarp? Actually, a tarp would be better. It's a little more durable. The plastic is kind of easily

rid. This isn't even a tarp. What is happening? It's true. Most people don't buy the false special, so I was a little bit surprised that you did. Obviously. The Marty said that it was a go, so we just got to work. Okay, listen, I am so angry right now. Well, hold on, man. We haven't even talked about the guarantee. where if you find any holes or rips in the plastic wrap within the first seven days, we'll actually drive by your house and throw a roll of duct tape into your front yard. How about that?

This has got to be some sort of horrible joke. How is this even possible? I'm sorry, ma'am. It's not a joke. So we've already processed your initial $3,000 deposit, and we'll need the other three. $3,000 and all I get is a not even tarp. Are you insane? You know, it's $6,000 total.

so we're going to need that other three by the end of the business day. $6,000 you can't even put a shingle on. This whole thing is a scam. That's what this is. Ma'am, ma'am, please, I'll have you know that we used the best zip ties money could buy. Oh, my gosh. Astronauts use these zip ties in space to hold the toilet lid on so it doesn't float away. Okay, stop, stop.

You better talk to Marty or whoever's in charge. Have them come over my house right now and fix the fucking roof. Okay, well, I will let him know. Oh, my God. I will warn you, though, the timeline for a real roof installation, we're looking at about eight months out. You have got to be fucking me. I mean, that's why we only had time to put on the fall plastic wrap special. Oh, my God, this has got to be some kind of joke.

There's no way this is possible. There's no way this is happening in my life right now. I do understand, and I hear your frustration. But while I have you on the phone, could I interest you in signing up for the winter special? I'm going to kill somebody, like, right now. Well, that's where we come back. you don't even know what it is. It's where we come by and put on an extra layer of plastic wrap

over the first layer, and we'll throw in a prank call for free. That's generous of us. What are you talking about? This doesn't make sense. You know, a prank call, courtesy of your husband, Mitch? I don't really work for the roofing company. I'm a radio host named Jeff from Brooke and Jeffrey

in the morning. This is a phone tap. I'm sorry, what? What is happening right now? We didn't put plastic on your roof. This is all a prank call. Your husband, Mitch, said that you guys had a bunch of people over to put on a new roof, and he thought it'd be funny to say that they were done in 20 minutes. Oh, my God.

I mean, it's cheap, but it is fast. That is so messed up. But those astronauts zip ties, those are high quality. No. How do you think they hold the space station together? I'm sure that's not how that works. Oh, my God. Wake up every morning with phone tabs.

Weekday mornings on the 20s. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. We have a very special opportunity today to speak with a very rare type of person. Okay. A unicorn, really. Really? Because on the phone is a young woman who, get this, still feels hopeful about the dating market. Oh, man.

I know. I know. I'm just as shocked as the rest of the year. Did she have no sight or hearing her whole life and now just got it? It's possible because she is full of positivity and what's the word? Like love or? Optimism. I haven't heard that in a while. Oh my God.

Has anyone ever even said that word in this? I don't know. And no, she's not on drugs, even though she might need some after the end of this phone call. But she is certain that there is a completely logical explanation for why her date has suddenly. dropped off the face of the earth after 10 days. Okay. So we're going to help her find out

and keep hope alive in dating. Fingers crossed. We're going to do it during your second date update right after this. I'm Stefan Curry, and this is Gentleman's Cut. I think what makes Gentleman's Cut different is me being a part of developing the profile of this beautiful finished product

I'm Robert Smith. This is Jacob Goldstein, and we used to host a show called Planet Money. And now we're back making this new podcast called Business History about the best ideas and people and businesses in history. And some of the worst people. Horrible ideas and destructive companies in the history of business. Having a genius idea without a need for it is nothing.

It's like not having it at all. It's a very simple, elegant lesson. Make something people want. First episode, how Southwest Airlines use cheap seats and free whiskey to fight its way into the airline business. The most Texas story ever. There's a lot of mavericks in that story. We're going to have mavericks on the show. We're going to have plenty of robber barons.

So many robber barons. And you know what? They're not all bad. And we'll talk about some of the classic great moments of famous business geniuses, along with some of the darker moments that often get overlooked. Like Thomas Edison and the electric chair.

I'm Ashley Reifeld, and I'm the host of the women's skateboarding podcast. Good luck with that. Good luck with that is a skateboarding podcast that is part cultural record, part newsbreed. group therapy and a place to talk about the past, present, and future of women and gender expansive skateboarding. This week, me and my co-host, Nora Vasencelos and Alex White, we have Fabiana Delfino on the show, a professional skateboarder from Florida, whose grit was forged in a family of athletes. Tune in to hear how she broke into the boys' club, what it takes to be pro, and why just being grateful you're here shouldn't be the price of entry. Maybe the industry

thinks that we just started skating five years ago, because that's when they maybe started paying attention. It's a no-fluff conversation about putting in the years, stacking clips and receipts, and still having to prove your worth while the industry catches up. You break down the door, sick now, like, hold the door for everyone. We created good luck with that because we want to share our experience of existing in an industry that wasn't always built for everyone. So listen to good luck with that on IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, Dr. Lori Santos from the Happiness Lab here. It's the season of giving, which is why my podcast is partnering with Give Directly, a nonprofit that provides people in extreme poverty with the

cash they need. This year, we're taking part in the Pods Fight Poverty campaign. And it's not just the Happiness Lab. Some of my favorite podcasters are also taking part. Think Jay Shetty from On Purpose, Dan Harris from 10% Happier, and Dave Desteno from How God Works, and more. Our goal this year is to raise $1 million, which will help over 700 families in Rwanda living in extreme poverty. Here's how it works. You donate to give directly, and they put that cash directly

into the hands of families in need, because those families know best what they need, whether it's buying livestock to fertilize their farm, paying school fees, or starting a small business. With that support, families can invest in their future and build lasting change. So join me and your favorite podcasters in the PODS Fight Poverty campaign.

Second Date Update. When you get ghosted after a first date, is it hurtful? Yeah. No. Of course it is Jeff. If you don't have to tell yourself, it doesn't hurt. Yeah.

I mean, good news is it starts to hurt less and less, the more it happens to you. Yeah, now you're just numb. Yeah, that numbness, it's kind of a nice feeling. It's not a feeling. That's the whole point of the numbness. Exactly. Now we're on the same page.

But our listener, Claire, believes there's something more behind why her date isn't reaching out to her. And she's come to us asking for assistance. So, Claire, why is Brooke laughing at you? Because I don't know. I'm just wondering if she is, like, totally insulted by your intro here. Like, have you been ghosted that many times, Claire? No. I'm just super worried about it.

him. Oh, worry. You're worried. Oh, wow. Why do you say that? I mean, okay, first of all, his name is James, and he just thought the type of guy that would ghost me, like, but he has not responded to me at all in, like, three days. Is he someone that you already knew before you went on a date?

Because the way that you're talking, it sounds like you've known him for a while. When you say he would never do that to me. Yeah. No, I haven't, but he just gave off that vibe. Oh. Like when you guys hit it. off back and forth, back and forth, and all of a sudden nothing is weird. Here's the thing, though, vibes

can lie. Sometimes are big fat liars, those vibes. People can also lie. He's fat liars, those vibes. Real quote. Well-spoken. Those vibes are liars. Yeah, okay. I can't always trust him. Claire, you're genuinely worried about him. Well, I mean, it's just that he works a lot, you know, and he

has a really stressful work environment. He has a really important sales job, and he's, like, working all the time. Okay, so that would make sense that he wouldn't be able to contact you for three days. Yeah, so how many dates have you had with him? Because it sounds like you've had a few. So, yeah, I mean, we went on a date like 10 days ago. Oh.

But we were texting after that, trying to plan something else, and then he just stopped responding. Okay. So three days ago, he stopped responding to your text, and that's why you're worried. Okay. Exactly. Got it. So let's go back to the date. What did you guys do for it?

Okay, so first of all, we went bowling. Fun. Nice. And then we went to this place as like an indoor butterfly house type of thing where the butterflies, like, land on you. Oh, yeah. Those are cool, but kind of scary. I remember one time as a kid, a giant butterfly.

I mean, I thought I was going to die. You really got to watch where you step too. Oh, no. Yeah. Oh, God. Think about killing them. Just say, they land on the ground and you've got to have your eyes down at all times. Looks like that one was still a caterpillar.

Brooke is bam from the butterfly. Okay. It was such a fun idea, and he's normally, like, very just considerate. I just thought it was so nice. It's interesting that you keep saying normally because you've had one experience with him. But you're talking like you've known him for a really, really long time. Well, I feel like I had because he's like a special person to me. Okay, so you haven't dated for a while, then, have you?

I mean, not really, I guess, but he just, we just clicked. I mean, we just bobbed. We just, everything was just great with us. Can you tell us any moments where it felt reciprocal, like he was also on the same page as you? Oh, yeah. Okay. So we were bowling, and, like, he picked up my bowling ball, and I thought it was by and the sake, but it really wasn't. And he tried to bowl with my ball.

I had, like, take it from him. And we just laughed about it. And we thought it was the funniest thing ever. That is one ounce lighter, silly. She still. Like we were connecting. Yeah, yeah. It's strange that you'd grab it from his hands, but I like it.

Yeah. I can't use my ball. Okay. I mean, it's cute to them. It's cute, right? Yeah, sure. I guess so. It was my ball.

I get that. I mean, I see. That was just a flirty moment that you two had. That's cool. Nice. Were there, like, drinks and food involved in the date? I mean, we weren't that hungry, so we just split us on fries and in a beer. Bowling alley food.

Okay. Were there any butterfly kisses inside of the butterfly exhibit? Oh, how cringe. That's the eye last. one right yeah it feels like the right place to do that's weird first kisses eye lashes there were no kisses but if he would have tried it I would have been very very open to it and my lashes would have been like butterflies as well wow you're not all types of kissing yeah flutter flutter I don't know what base that is but she would go there in the butterfly world that's like second

okay I mean it sounds like you left that date feeling 100% sure you'd see him again absolutely I mean, we were even texting back and forth, making future plans, and then he just came up with this. I got to find some free time because I'm working right now and things are busy and then he stopped responding like three days ago. What if we find out after we call him that he actually blew you off on purpose and he's just trying to be nice about it? He wouldn't do that. That's no way. You are so positive. I feel like you haven't listened to our show enough.

Something's coming. That's what I mean... Well, my friend did recommend you. I don't listen normally, but... That's why you're so much hope. All right. Got it. So, you said three days ago, he suddenly cut off communication with you,

and you're just trying to figure out what's going on. I mean, I'm just worried because something could have happened. So I'm thinking maybe if you guys call him, we can get this whole thing for it out. Are we going to destroy the... Oh, he's blocked you. Yeah. Okay. I feel like we're going to ruin the last optimistic person that's left in the dating world.

right now you know but remember what I said about numbness in the beginning we can start that process right now yes if everyone feels good it's bad okay no I have hope for you yeah he's stuck in an elevator I'm sure of it yeah definitely okay we'll get the laughing gas ready just in case when we call James for you and try to get you your second date update right after this thanks guys second date update if you're just joining us we've been talking to Claire who had the three B's on her first date. Bowling, beer, and butterflies.

Oh, wow. You wouldn't think those go together. There it is. But they do. Not just the nervous tummy butterflies, either. Actual real ones flying around inside of a butterfly house. It's kind of cute. Definitely different than what we've had before, but she's come to us very concerned

because three days ago, her guy, James, fully stopped responding. I feel like this whole episode is brought to you by the number three right now. Yeah, lots of threes. And it was weird because they were in the middle of planning their next meetup. Well, I mean, it sounds like he wasn't giving her exact dates in times. Claire Brooks calling you a liar.

No, no, no. I just think that she may have misinterpreted his text. Like, he was saying, I'm busy, I'm busy and busy. She did say that she was new at dating, so maybe she doesn't know how to navigate this situation quite the right way. And she's new to our show. She hasn't really listened to her, right? You're incompetent now, Jeffrey.

Yes, I am. You're right. No, I'm just kidding, Claire. But we're going to reach out to James because you said he's not answering when you call. You think maybe he'll pick up for us. I'm hopeful. Okay. You are very hopeful.

She is. She is. And she's concerned about his safety and thinks something could have happened. Yeah, like, I think something probably did because there's no way that he wouldn't reach out to me. Really? Sometimes I wish we could do these in person so we could hug each other afterwards and just make each other feel better, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Why'd you make eye contact with me when you said that over?

I wasn't talking about hugging you. I don't know. I'd be up for that. I do this in person. Okay. Well, I'll give you Brooks home address after this is over so you can go over there and hug it out all you want. Anyway, let's call James right now. Hopefully he answers. We can get to the bottom of this, figure out why three days ago he fully cut off communication with you. Thank you. I'm sure it'll be a happy story. Here we go. Hello, this is James Very formal

Oh, wow Hi, James You're on the radio right James The radio Yeah, that's a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning Good morning

Good morning How can I help you out there Well, we're really happy to hear your voice And that you're doing okay, it sounds like Yeah, that's for sure I don't know He could be in the hospital right now for all we know.

Just the fact that you picked up, though, that's a really good start. I'm sorry, what this is about? Yeah, this is a, it's a segment we do on our show. It's called The Second Date Update. You're kind of like the star of it today. Okay, that doesn't sound too great. It's kind of fun. Yeah, it's not a bad thing.

It just means somebody out there is trying to see you again, and they haven't been able to get a hold of you. Please don't say the name that I think that you're about to say. Wait, there's a certain name you don't. What name are you thinking? Claire? That's her. That's it. Yes.

What is she doing? Oh, my goodness. She's just trying to get a hold of you because she said, basically, that you two had an awesome date together where you went bowling and you visited a butterfly house. And she was telling us how fun and how thoughtful it was that you came up with that for her. She had a lot of positive things to say about you. Yeah. Oh, really? Did she happen to tell you anything else?

like what happened after. I mean, she told us that you guys were texting, trying to figure out a date to get back together. Right. No, no. It wasn't the texting. Honestly, it was about the forcefulness in the meetups. What?

Do you say forcefulness? But meetups, you only had one meetup. You just saw each other on one date. Yeah, I know, but I'm a very busy guy. I do a lot of different things for work. Okay. Wait. She was a little bit over-eager, it sounds like.

So see you again? I think that's an understatement. I mean, if I couldn't hang out Tuesday, she would see, what about Wednesday? What about Thursday? What about Friday? It just became way too much for me. Then she just crossed the line. Okay.

Is that the line? Yeah, what line did she cross? The Wednesday, Thursday, Friday line. Is that what you mean? Is that the line suggesting other days? No, no. It was worse. Okay.

I think she is totally clueless that she made you feel uncomfortable or whatever it is. I don't think so. Really? Yeah, why are you so sure that she should know she made a mistake? Because she called my work. What? What? She called your job for you?

Yeah. I was at work and HR called me and a woman named Claire reached out and wanted to do a welfare check on me. What? Whoa. I know. At your work? Yes, at work.

And she's telling her that we need to move my schedule around and workload around. Like, what's going on with that? Oh, no. Now, I think we all understand now. So, listen, maybe Claire is being misunderstood here. And your manager has relayed her message in a way that painted her in a bad light. Oh, that's it, Jeff. And maybe you are working too hard, and it's not a terrible thing if your date wants you to be less stressed.

Jeff, you are a champion of our listeners. I love you. I just, I think you should talk to Claire about it because she is on the phone with us right now, wanting to speak to you. Oh, my. Why? Oh, no. Isn't it better to speak to her instead of speaking through your HR to her? I couldn't agree with you more, Beth.

But there she has. Talk to Claire. Claire, what are you doing? Hey, if Carrie is a crime, then I'm guilty. I just care about you. We went on one date. I like that. Yeah, one special date. Aw.

That's kind of nice. Claire, why would you call his HR? I mean, no other girlfriend would do that for, God. Girlfriend? Girlfriend? Why did you say girlfriend? They're labeling it. You're not my girlfriend.

We hung out once. What are you talking about? Not yet, but I'm just showing that I want to spend more time with you. I mean, what are we really doing here? I had to meet with my HR department. I had to meet with my boss. You're messing with my job. You're messing with my way of living.

You don't even know what I do. You don't even know exactly what I'm doing at work. Well, listen, here's what I do, though. I know you work in sales and I know you were stressed out so I was just trying to help you with that And Claire's defense, the reason that I mean, according to her

you kept saying you couldn't meet up because you were too busy with work so she's trying to problem solve. It's like call out number one of not hanging out with people. Yeah, that's really what you do. Well, she's not buying it. That is a huge boundary to cross. You just never call someone's workplace. It's just you don't. I mean, I honestly feel like

it has to be said for Claire to understand that. Yes, I can and yes, I did. Don't call the workplace. Just call directly to their family. No. Where is the right thing to do? I mean, I would have his family, but I didn't have their numbers.

Oh, my God. Okay. This is easy to fix. James, what's your family's phone number? Mom first. Listen, you guys, I don't know what's going on here, but this is the first time that I've ever gone on a date where whoever I went on a date with try to free up my schedule just to see them.

You're lucky she didn't quit for you It is funny to be like Oh I'm busy and she's like Oh I'll take care of that Oh my god You're not busy anymore Well okay I see them the

You had good intentions in your heart When you did it But for James you crossed the line I think for anyone That's the thing Anyone don't do that Claire But specifically for James in this scenario Okay yeah

Okay well now that we're past that Are we past now We should do pizza and butterflies for our next feet. What? Oh, pizza and butterflies. You're going back to butterflies again. Unless it's a butterfly pizza.

The butterfly kisses. Yeah, Jeff, give me the idea. Yeah, that's sounded hot. Yeah, don't ruin the idea. I mean, I think the butterfly kisses are, it's a great idea. Oh, sorry.

Sorry. James, pretend you didn't hear that, okay? Blank that out of your memory. All I want you to focus on is will you go out on another date with Claire and we would pay for it. We're talking to James now. Yes. Okay. You can do pizza and she will rub her lashes on your face.

Claire, I think you need to hear this response, okay? So make sure you're paying attention. My ears are all the way open. Oh, oh, my. Okay. All right. So, James, what do you think about giving Claire one more chance? No, no, no.

Oh, my God. You didn't have to laugh, though. That was the only time you laughed at all. Well, that was rude. Yeah, so was calling his workplace. I understand this is when someone's new to dating. There's a lot of new rules and stuff you got. to learn. So maybe this is a learning

moment for you. I've learned that people don't understand what caring is these days and I just have to care harder. No. No. No harder. Please. That is the opposite. Care less. Please listen to them. Care less about me. Care less about other people.

And that's the message that we are going to leave today. Brook and Jeffrey in the morning. Care less about everyone. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. I mean, look, the positive that we can take out of this is what job is I really don't

think we deterred her at all she still sounds very hopeful and by hopeful I mean hopefully she's not already inside his apartment making dinner for his time yes like she needed some reality here she really was like the perfect dater for our show

she had no idea she never listened to the show she's still optimistic about dating I mean she got blindsided she got blindsided she called his work Jose what are you talking about she didn't know that was bad To do him a favor and take the stress away. No. She did not see this coming, Brooke.

Don't ever call anyone's place of employment. Except for us. No. Call our job. Not even that. I feel like we're going to hear from her again. Yeah. I hope.

It's not going to be her first ghosting. And I think we're all just jealous of her relentless optimism because that's exactly what you need to survive this dating world. So I predict she'll be fine. And if you need some optimism that your dating life isn't completely tragic, go to our podcast. Oh, I know what you're going to say. call somebody else but yeah that would work too by comparison listen to us on spotify apple wherever and you will finally find hope in your own life feels good find us at brook and geoffrey it's brook and geoffrey in the morning and at the end of every year a company called nord pass

goes through all the lists of hacked passwords oh yeah that get leaked onto the internet to figure out the most common easy hackable passwords that people are still using for some weird that's the thing It's the same list every year. And nobody ever changes their password after they hear it. Once again, the most common passwords are admin, password, and one, two, three, four, five, six. Oh, you suck. Every time. I mean, can't you be smart and, like, mix up the numbers?

I don't know. One, two, four? Oh, tricky. I'm surprised this year it's just not six seven, six seven, six seven. 67 times. That said, there are a few new password. trends that they've noticed that you should probably be aware of. One of them is brand loyalty, where people are using their favorite companies or labels as their

password. Oh, everybody's using Brooke and Jeffrey as their password. That's so cute. That would be sweet. They're getting into all of our accounts. Yeah. For Alexis, it would probably be Cocoa Mellon, one, two, three. Oh, okay.

For Jose Lean Pockets, 420. And for Brooke Brightbart, 69. Oh, yes. Go get out of here. It's not even funny. Oh, you changed it. That's nice. It's obviously worse if you're using Netflix as your Netflix password.

Would not recommend doing that. But also surging in the password rankings this year, favorite sports teams or favorite player names, people are going with that. That makes sense. That's hard, though, because it's like buying a jersey. You're like, how long is this player going to be on the team? Or what player did I choose that month? I don't know.

That's my favorite at the time. But the biggest change they've seen is a massive increase in using. swear words. Some people, not in the best mood when they're being forced to change their password over and over again, so they're adding profanity into the passwords, and that's become trending. Yeah, but there's no way I'd remember what cussword I used. Yeah. And was it all caps or not?

I have a pretty long list of cussword vocabulary. Oh, okay. Brooke will send you her list after this. Just DM'd her, and Laser Stories is coming up right after this. I'm Stefan Curry, and this is Gentleman's Cut. I think what makes Gentleman's Cut different is me being a part of developing the profile of this beautiful finished product.

I'm Robert Smith, and this is Jacob Goldstein, and we used to host a show called Planet Money. And now we're back making this new podcast called Business History about the best ideas and people and businesses in history. And some of the worst people, horrible ideas and destructive companies in the history of business. Having a genius idea without a need for it is nothing. It's like not having it at all. It's a very simple, elegant lesson. Make something people want. First episode, how Southwest Airlines use cheap seats and free whiskey to fight its way into the airline business.

The most Texas story ever. There's a lot of mavericks in that story. We're going to have mavericks on the show. We're going to have plenty of robber barons. So many robber barons. And you know what? They're not all bad. And we'll talk about some of the classic great moments of famous business geniuses, along with some of the darker moments that often get overlooked.

Like Thomas Edison and the Elections Channel. Listen to business history on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever. You get it, your podcast. Hi, Dr. Lori Santos from the Happiness Lab here. It's the season of giving, which is why my podcast is partnering with Give Directly, a nonprofit that provides people in extreme poverty with the cash they need. This year, we're taking part in the Pods Fight Poverty campaign. And it's not just the Happiness Lab.

Some of my favorite podcasters are also taking part. Think Jay Shetty from On Purpose, Dan Harris from 10% Happier, and Dave Desteno from How God Works and more. Our goal this year is to raise $1 million, which will help over 700 families in Rwanda living in extreme poverty. Here's how it works. You donate to give directly, and they put that cash directly into the hands of families in need. Because those families know best what they need, whether it's buying livestock to fertilize their farm, paying school fees, or starting a small business. With that support, families can invest in their future and build lasting change.

So join me and your favorite podcasters in the Pots Fight Poverty campaign. Head to give directly.org slash happiness lab to learn more and make a contribution. And if you're a first time donor, giving multiplier will even match your gift. That's give directly.org slash happiness lab to donate. If one of us wins, we all win. I'm Ashley Reifeld and I'm the host of the women's skateboarding podcast. Good luck with that. Good luck with that is a skateboarding podcast that is part cultural record, part news brief.

mostly group therapy, and a place to talk about the past, present, and future of women and gender expansive skateboarding. This week, me and my co-host, Nora Vasencelos and Alex White, we have Fabiana Delfino on the show, a professional skateboarder from Florida, whose grit was forged in a family of athletes. Tune in to hear how she broke into the boys' club, what it takes to be pro, and why just being grateful you're here shouldn't be the price of entry. Maybe the industry thinks that we just started skating five years ago, because that's when

they maybe started paying attention. It's a no-fluff conversation about putting in the years, stacking clips and receipts, and still having to prove your worth while the industry catches up. You break down the door, sick now, like, hold the door for everyone. We created good luck with that because we want to share our experience of existing in an industry that wasn't always built for everyone. So listen to good luck with that on iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. For 25 years, I've explored what it means to heal, not just for myself, but alongside others.

I'm Mike De La Rocha, this is Sacred Lessons, a space for reflection, growth, and collective healing. What do you tell men that are hurting right now? Everything's going to be okay on the other side, you know, just push through it. And, you know, ironically, the root of the word spirit is breath. Wow. Which is why one of the most revolutionary acts that we can do as people just breathe. Next to the wound is their gifts. You can't even find your gifts.

you go through the wound. That's the hard thing. You think, well, I'm going to get my guess. I don't want to go through all that. You've got to go through the wounds you're laughing. Listening to other people's near-death experiences, and that's all they say. In conclusion, love is the answer. Listen to Sacred Lessons as part of the My Coutura Podcast Network, available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. It's the radio segment that thought it.

If you can combine a fork and a spoon to make a spork, why can't he combine a spoon in a knife to make a spife? Oh, yeah, put that in your mouth. Finally, a spoon with razor-sharp edges to cut through those Cheerios in your cereal bowl. Just be careful popping it in your mouth. But it's cool thanks to laser stories. The segment where we read weird news stories from around the globe, just like everyone else does, except we've got a laser.

So the blade lickers just don't. This first laser story is out of St. Petersburg, Florida. A 26-year-old man named Richel Valdivia went to a Tesla dealership last month and he asked one of the salesmen if he could take one of the cyber trucks out for a test drive. Yaha! All right.

Pretty usual, so they took a copy of his driver's license and his insurance and Rochelle never brought it back. Good thing. Those aren't very sophisticated cars with lots of ways to try. track them. He just turn the car off. Yeah.

An assistant manager did track the truck down at his house two days later and it was all ripped up. He had smashed the rearview mirror with a hammer. He wasn't even just trying to like part it out or something.

He's just destroying the thing? Destroying it, removed the GPS, ripped off one of the sun vizers and tore both of the front fenders off. Smash, smash, smash. Dang. Weirdest detail by far, though, he also filled both.

with landscaping rocks and several pairs of men's underwear. Hey, because it's a sexy cyber trial. Only in Florida. No word on if they were clean or dirty underwear. All new cars, especially Teslas, are covered in cameras now. So cops had footage of him doing some of the damage. And as for why he did it, Rochelle told officers that the truck said, good morning in a tone that felt judgmental. They should fix that.

I'm glad that he doesn't have unprovoked anger issues. Not at all. He's facing felony charges now for criminal mischief and grand theft. The dealership says he caused around $20,000 in damages. Because the truck talked to him, funny.

Yep. All right. This next laser story is out of the interwebs. America has kind of a love-hate relationship with Amazon because we love to complain about our reliance on the convenience, but when you decide you want a pillow shape like a baguette or something, you want it now.

Seriously. My husband and I were just having this fight because I'm trying not to buy anything, you know, right now. And he's like, well, but he's be here so soon. I'm like, just wait for it. Just wait for it. You don't need it. I'll give you the opposite. My sister and I were like, let's buy T-shirts for Disney.

Bought them on Amazon under 24 hours. They were there under 24 hours. Why, though? You're not going to be at Disneyland in 24 hours. I know, but it's so nice to have it. Yeah, some would say, Jose, that's not fast enough. What? It was under a day. No, that's slow because Amazon's currently testing ultra-fast deliveries,

which will get purchases to your front door in 30 minutes or less. Wow. What? Just like an Uber Eats? Do you just move into the warehouse at this point? Probably should. I know it's kind of ridiculous. It's like one thing to expect your pizza delivered in 30 minutes or less. But now we're so impatient.

We'll put a lasagna into the oven and then order the oven mitts and expect them to be delivered in time. to take the lasagna out. How do we get it out? I burnt my lasagna. It's your fault. This 30-minute delivery is only being tested in two places, Seattle and Philadelphia. Oh, my God.

I feel so bad for the drivers that have to do this. Yeah. You won't, though, because there's a little bit of a bonus at the end for them. Of course, not everything is going to be available for this, but Amazon says it'll be offered for thousands of everyday household essentials and for grocery items. And if you're wondering, it won't be free. The 30-minute deliveries will start at an extra $13.99 per order.

Dang. So you really need it. If you're a prime member, your charge will be discounted to $3.99. That's smart. And they say, they already got me, Brooke. I'm already like, ooh, I saved $10. Just walk to the grocery store, because you spent $100 on soup to get delivered to your house. You're not my barometer on whether it's a good idea.

Well, they say it's available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, much like a convenience store. And just like pizza orders, you. you have the option to tip extra to your drivers. Look at that. This next laser story is out of food news. Yay. We're used to food brands blending up flavors, but I can't recall ever hearing about a brand

inventing its own fruit species. What? That is until now. What the heck? Dole Food Company, maker of fresh packaged and frozen fruit products, has done just that. They announced a brand new pineapple variety

called Calada Royale. that combines regular pineapple with hints of coconut, so it's essentially a pinocalada-flavored pineapple. Double rainbow. Oh, my God. How did they do it? Well, research and development began in Honduras over 15 years ago in the early 2000s.

The companies toiled behind the scenes for decades in hopes of introducing it before their 125th anniversary next year. You mean they didn't just water them with rum and hope that it comes out to be a pinocalada? I think they tried that. Okay. It didn't quite work.

science that that was needed. It could grow its own little umbrella? Dole said they finally pulled it off. The Collada Royale will officially begin arriving in stores throughout North America as early as this week. This is kind of scary, though, because someone's going to take a bite of a pineapple and be like, I'm allergic to coconut. Yeah. Definitely check the label. Wait a minute.

Dole says their new pineapple isn't just a novelty or a publicity gimmick. It's a delicious new fruit with a luxurious taste experience that leaves you wanting more. And by more, I think they mean rum so that they can drink it on the beach. Let's go to your final laser story out of the study of fun. I love fun. A website ranked the most fun cities in America.

And the top two are Las Vegas and Orlando. Oh, that's dense. Walt Disney World, about the theme parks. And then Adult Disney World is Vegas. But Anaheim has Disneyland, and they're not even in the top 100. I know, but they don't also have the cool Universal Studios. Yeah.

I mean, I know there's a California Universal Studios, but it's not the same. California theme parks are like boutique compared to like Florida theme parts. Well, Florida has the strip club right across the street. So that, I think that factors in. Mickey goes there sometimes. Donald Duck isn't wearing pants anyway. Exactly. He's ready to work.

They based it on 65 different metrics, including how many bars, restaurants, and festivals there are. Oh, yeah. They even factored in how far you'd have to travel to get to your closest bowling alley or frozen yogurt shop. Creamy. Didn't it factor? and how bankrupt you go after you visit each place. No. Yeah, very expensive.

But they also ranked each place according to how much it costs in order to have fun. And if that's your main concern, start planning a trip to Oklahoma City. Hey! My mom's hometown. O'K.C.

The other cheapest spots for fun are El Paso, Texas, Fayetteville, North Carolina, Wichita, Kansas, and Amarillo. Hey, what up? Amarillo. No, I didn't say Armadillo, dude.

I know any of a kinship with every shelf creature out there, so clearly that's a trigger word, and I apologize, but it means that laser stories has come to an end for the day. We'll do it again, same time on Friday. Win, Brooke Fox! The trivia Grinch is back once again, Brooke Fox, with a heart that's two sizes too small and an appetite, 10 sizes too low. large. There's no such thing as an appetite too large, Jeff. Not in

Brooks' world. Will she snatch away your holiday joy and laugh as you cry? She's already laughing. It's like a giggly-gritch laugh. Let's see how it goes with today's new player, Stephanie, who says she's been listening to our show forever and loves trivia,

Oh, wow. That's actually very recent. Me neither. Brooke doesn't even have a comeback. She's just going to leave the studio in shame now while we get to the game. Oh, now she's laughing. That grinch laughing. Okay, there it goes.

It's not very grinchy. But you know how it works, Stephanie. You got 30 seconds on the clock to answer as many questions as possible. If you don't know when you could say pass, but you have to beat her outright if you want to win. Are you ready? Okay. All right. You never get an okay back.

Everything's okay. Play it off a day. Okay. Very smooth transition. No one can test. No one will know anything is weird. Stephanie, I do want to ask. It says on my screener that for the holidays, you love a good white elephant gift.

Oh, okay. I do. I love strategizing and stealing and, yeah. Okay, here's my question. When you do white elephant, do you bring a funny gag gift or do you bring something everybody actually wants? A real gift.

Somewhere in between, I would say, like a decent gift, but not necessarily one that everybody's going to be like really vying for. Okay. It is always like that. It's like someone brings a mug and then someone brings like AirPods.

And you're like, oh my God, I want the AirPods. Airpots. Yeah. What white elephant are you? I mean, usually it's like a $20, limit at most. Yeah, or a 22nd kiss with me. Oh, what?

Everybody's trying to steal that gift. Right, Stephanie? Yes. She's like, trade, switch. I don't want that one. Somebody else. They take it. Nobody wants it, but everybody has it?

Rest in peace, maybe. R-I-P-A-A-A-A-R-P-A-A-P-A-R-I-P-A-T. I thought you were going to talk about a heavy metal bailant from 1948, and I'm like, wow, I didn't know that that was happening back then. There was not even an electric guitar-in-in-end yet. So funny. Out of all seven continents, there are four in the Southern Hemisphere, Australia, Australia, Antarctica, Africa, and South America. At a Major League Baseball Game, Take Me Out to the Ball Game is saying in the seventh inning,
