Speaker 1: All right, you found us on a Friday. Welcome to
Speaker 1: the podcast, Alexis.
Speaker 2: How many five hour energy bottles did you count in
Speaker 2: the trash can? I think it was eleven?
Speaker 3: Oh guys, fifty five hour energy?
Speaker 4: My god.
Speaker 2: Let's just hope Jeffrey's heart doesn't explode. It's his fuel
Speaker 2: for his parody song.
Speaker 1: Today's song of the week is in well today's podcast.
Speaker 2: There it goes. Let's start it now.
Speaker 5: We've got some late breaking, fist shaking news. It's Brooke
Speaker 5: and Jeffrey in the morning. And my host may remember
Speaker 5: this from last week. That Frenchman named Richard Claude, the
Speaker 5: guy who built that twenty foot four tall model of
Speaker 5: the Eiffel Tower using seven hundred thousand match sticks.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Machticks guy.
Speaker 1: But then he worked with the match stick company and
Speaker 1: got special ones made.
Speaker 5: If you haven't seen it, it's up on our Insta
Speaker 5: stories at Broken Jeffrey, go see the picture. It's pretty crazy.
Speaker 6: It's actually a pretty crazy story when you're talking about matches.
Speaker 5: Because you didn't hear it. He got rejected by the
Speaker 5: Guinness World Records for using the wrong kind of matches.
Speaker 2: Not available commercially.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well they didn't have the sulfur heads on tip
Speaker 5: of them, which is what you're supposed to use. Basically,
Speaker 5: wasted eight whole years of his life. Whooa over four thousand,
Speaker 5: two hundred man hours building this thing, only to have
Speaker 5: Guinness saying nope, doesn't count.
Speaker 2: But here's the thing.
Speaker 1: Would we be talking about him if they immediately like
Speaker 1: like cool.
Speaker 4: You would not have Ye'd be talking about him. It
Speaker 4: was like cool broke the record.
Speaker 5: Guinness came out with a statement saying they may have
Speaker 5: been a little heavy handed in the rules for this
Speaker 5: particular case, so it sounded logical. Well, they agreed to
Speaker 5: go take a second look, and they had more experts
Speaker 5: show up to examine the structure.
Speaker 2: How many magic experts can there be?
Speaker 5: There's more than you think. And the result is he
Speaker 5: used the wrong glue too. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 5: They awarded him the Guinness World Record title.
Speaker 2: Hey, come on, why have we come back? It helped
Speaker 2: you out.
Speaker 5: We're gonna work on that next. But ask for Richard.
Speaker 5: He says, quote. The whole ordeal has been an emotional
Speaker 5: roller coaster, but it's important to know that he never
Speaker 5: once lost hope.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's good.
Speaker 5: That's how I feel going into our shock collar question
Speaker 5: of the day.
Speaker 8: Lots and lots.
Speaker 5: Of critics out there about our own digital Jake, but
Speaker 5: I never lose hope. I always think he's gonna pull through,
Speaker 5: prove him wrong.
Speaker 2: That was quite the backhanded compliment, Jake.
Speaker 5: It's the critics, not me.
Speaker 8: Okay, I'll do my best. We have, on average, eighty
Speaker 8: years to live on this earth, and frankly, I'm not
Speaker 8: sure the four of you are taking advantage of it.

Speaker 8: on Honestly, I'm not exactly sure what we do. I

Speaker 8: Oh yeah, we do have T shirts. Were a tank
Speaker 8: top factory?
Speaker 5: Oh maybe a crop top for like, I'm not sure.
Speaker 8: Whatever it is we do, it's not important. What is
Speaker 8: important is that we make the most of the time

Speaker 2: Oh they do.
Speaker 5: You can't just type a number in and hope that
Speaker 5: they're gonna believe you, like I'm a nine eighty nine.
Speaker 2: I promise they didn't think that's possible.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not, but probably is gonna hear from people
Speaker 5: with some of the lowest credit scores coming up when
Speaker 5: we do a brand new Laser Stories Judge, Jeff, you
Speaker 5: know it's true. It's happening it right after this. It's
Speaker 5: the radio segment that just developed the solution to get
Speaker 5: rid of your bed bugs. For forty dollars. You can
Speaker 5: buy a canister of bed spiders. When you release those
Speaker 5: into your mattress credits and they'll be all the bugs
Speaker 5: up in there. After that, you need to house them
Speaker 5: in the bed permanently, really good cuddlers.
Speaker 11: Eight lakes, Yeah, wool hug Ever, because it's Laser Stories,
Speaker 11: the segment where we read weird news stories around the globe,
Speaker 11: just like everyone else does, except we've got a laser.
Speaker 5: Those other Tarantia little spoons just this first Laser Stories
Speaker 5: out of Michigan. Twenty six year old man named Tucker
Speaker 5: Buford broke into a building the other night. He thought
Speaker 5: it was empty, but just in case it wasn't.
Speaker 12: Yeah, he had a knife with him.
Speaker 5: Yeah. As Tucker began trying to crack open the ATM
Speaker 5: with the knife.
Speaker 1: Oh, I thought it was going to be a deserted building,
Speaker 1: he heard voices and that's when two corrections deputies walked
Speaker 1: around the corner and saw him.
Speaker 2: Those are the worst people for him to run into.
Speaker 5: Well, it turns out Tucker Buford had unknowingly just broken
Speaker 5: into the lobby of the local county jail.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 5: You know, in case you need to like post bail
Speaker 5: and pay in.
Speaker 2: All cash take checks.
Speaker 5: Probably, no, you get ten thousand dollars out of it,
Speaker 5: So get your buddy out.
Speaker 2: I was just going to bring in iou.
Speaker 5: And they don't take those. But they noticed that he
Speaker 5: had the knife, which Tucker tried to hide immediately under
Speaker 5: his hat.
Speaker 2: That's good, threatened them.
Speaker 5: The knife fell out, so the deputies just backed off
Speaker 5: and hit a button, trapping him inside out by locking
Speaker 5: the exterior doors electronically, which was possible because well, like
Speaker 5: I said, it's a jail, it's a jail. So eventually
Speaker 5: more cops came and when they opened the doors, they
Speaker 5: arrested him. Tucker was escorted to his cell, which just
Speaker 5: happened to be right down the hallway.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you think he gets time off just because he
Speaker 1: saved them on transportation?
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're gonna knock a thousand buns of your cash money.
Speaker 5: The Stories out of Colorado, two seventeen year olds were
Speaker 5: just awarded the first ever athletic scholarships to play Division one. Yes, Cornholey,
Speaker 5: the drinking game.
Speaker 2: Actual college sport. I thought it was so hard. I
Speaker 2: thought it was just a frat boy yard game, if
Speaker 2: you know, the.
Speaker 5: One where you toss the bean bag and you have
Speaker 5: to get it into the hole far away. So their
Speaker 5: names are Jackson Remick and Gavin Hammond. They went to
Speaker 5: thunder Ridge High School near Denver, which apparently has a
Speaker 5: strong cornhole program. I guess a lot of pride and
Speaker 5: they're cornhole and they're obviously cornhole prodigies. And they won
Speaker 5: the first ever high school championship together in twenty twenty one,
Speaker 5: and then another a year later.
Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't know competition was that stiff.
Speaker 5: On National Signing Day, they penned letters of intent to
Speaker 5: play D one cornhole for Winthrop University in South Carolina.
Speaker 4: Oh wait, they have a national signing day like football.
Speaker 2: As for that, I don't know. Are we getting signed
Speaker 2: for beer pong next?
Speaker 5: The school hasn't said how much the scholarship is for,
Speaker 5: but it's not a full ride okay. The new coach
Speaker 5: at Winthrop, though, thinks full ride scholarships for cornhole could
Speaker 5: happen eventually.
Speaker 2: What does a coach do, like, Hey, you're holding your
Speaker 2: army wrong.
Speaker 4: How many times I tell you throw it in the hole?
Speaker 5: Thanks coach, I'm gonna try it next time. And these
Speaker 5: times the stories almost make me want to go back
Speaker 5: to school and get back to cornhole. And again, I
Speaker 5: mean I still dabble in Cornhall, but not professionally.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty good at Jenga.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 2: Can you think we could put that on the.
Speaker 1: List getting scholarship Cornhole.
Speaker 5: We're moving on. We're gonna go to our next lazer story.
Speaker 5: Out of the Netherlands, a delta flight from Amsterdam to
Speaker 5: Detroit had to return to its home base for a
Speaker 5: pretty unnerving reason. No, hopefully you're sitting down before I
Speaker 5: say this. Apparently maggots were falling on people from the ceiler.
Speaker 5: Oh no, maggot car It's true. Less than an hour
Speaker 5: into the flight, the crew was forced to turn the
Speaker 5: airbus A three point thirty around because a passenger decided
Speaker 5: to stow their suitcase full of rotten fish in the overhead.
Speaker 4: They not cleaned the plane.
Speaker 2: How does you know it smell that like that?
Speaker 3: I can't bring a little bit more toothpaste, but he
Speaker 3: could bring a whole bag of rotten fishsay's true.
Speaker 5: That's when the little maggots started getting out of the
Speaker 5: bag and falling onto the passengers seated in the economy
Speaker 5: said there wasn't much flight attendants could really do either,
Speaker 5: because if they moved the bag, they feared even more spillitch.
Speaker 5: So the passengers were reportedly given blankets to cover their
Speaker 5: heads as they had to endure the forty five minute
Speaker 5: nightmare landing.
Speaker 4: Oh and yeah, that's the closest airport.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the only time where you're like, maybe
Speaker 1: if we crash, it wouldn't be so bad.
Speaker 4: At least the magots burn too.
Speaker 5: Once on the ground, everyone deplaned and the suitcase was
Speaker 5: put into a special bag to be burned. You know.
Speaker 6: The guy too was like, can I at least like
Speaker 6: see if one of the fishes good.
Speaker 5: The aircraft was deep cleaned and then reboarded, but the
Speaker 5: flight crew was disappointed that only one person chose to
Speaker 5: get back on. No one wants to get on the
Speaker 5: maggot plane.
Speaker 2: The maggot wagon.
Speaker 5: It's a story is out of Survey World. They just
Speaker 5: did a new study that if you're single and you
Speaker 5: love to travel, you might want to keep this in mind.
Speaker 5: What state are you most likely to catch an STD in?
Speaker 6: Lucky Well implies I'm having sex, so I'm still.
Speaker 1: I feel like Florida is going to be way up
Speaker 1: there just because of the retirement communities.
Speaker 2: Those retirement communities are randy.
Speaker 5: Researchers looked at stats from the CDC, state and local
Speaker 5: health groups, and social media surveys as well. So here
Speaker 5: are the results. The ten most disease ridden places are Louisiana,
Speaker 5: North Carolina, Mississippi, New Mexico, South Carolina, Georgia, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Alabama.
Speaker 5: But the clear number one was probably a state you
Speaker 5: don't associate with this type of thing. Going to get
Speaker 5: a drum roll, please, none other than the Great State
Speaker 5: of Alaska. Congratulations Alaska, you win the std war.
Speaker 2: I think the mend to female ratio is real bad.
Speaker 2: So if like one woman has it, then at least.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well apparently, no matter what you're doing, you don't
Speaker 5: want to do anything unprotected in the northernmost state of.
Speaker 1: America's that's good, Parka and your other cover.
Speaker 5: The state where you're least likely to catch something is
Speaker 5: New Hampshire.
Speaker 2: I thought he was going to be Utah. You're just
Speaker 2: not doing it.
Speaker 5: The rest of the ten cleanest places include West Virginia, Maine, Vermont, Utah.
Speaker 5: Right there, Okay, okay, Idaho is in the cleanest because
Speaker 5: I moved out. Yeah yeah, there's also Wyoming, Massachusetts, Connecticut,
Speaker 5: and New Jersey.
Speaker 2: Okay, if you go to California.
Speaker 4: Jersey, you're good.
Speaker 9: Good.
Speaker 1: New Jersey's been getting a bad rep for so long
Speaker 1: and finally they make a clean stateless.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 5: As for this guy and his travel experiences with transmitted diseases,
Speaker 5: actually pretty clean, well except for that one time in
Speaker 5: Florida when he did get a bad case of turpies.
Speaker 5: Turtles means stories has come to an end for the day.
Speaker 5: We'll do it again the same time on Monday.
Speaker 9: Freaking Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 5: Why are so many singles flocking to one specific spot
Speaker 5: in Chicago because they have to download a mystery app
Speaker 5: once they get there, and that's when the craziness begins.
Speaker 5: Something very similar is happening in la and according to
Speaker 5: dating experts, you might see this start happening in cities
Speaker 5: all over the country. It is the hot new dating
Speaker 5: trend for people who want to meet the one that
Speaker 5: everybody is doing. Now, we're going to tell you about
Speaker 5: it coming up right after this. Are you single and
Speaker 5: burned out on dating apps? It's brook and Jeffrey in
Speaker 5: the morning, Well you're not alone.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And we.
Speaker 5: Cover this topic quite a bit here because of the
Speaker 5: second date calls that we do on the show.
Speaker 1: Not only that Battle of the tender dates, people like
Speaker 1: go against each other with their worst dating stories.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, we have a lot of dating stuff here.
Speaker 5: But there's something called dating app fatigue, and it's a
Speaker 5: real thing where people get real tired of swiping and
Speaker 5: scrolling and chatting online forever and ever and ever.
Speaker 1: I know, I swear that Jose and Alexis are always
Speaker 1: complaining about dating apps, but that's still kind of on them.
Speaker 2: But then not.
Speaker 9: Exactly.
Speaker 2: I want you to find love those dating apps. You
Speaker 2: don't go be out of business if everybody finds love.
Speaker 4: That's true.
Speaker 5: So instead, events like speed dating and singles mixers and
Speaker 5: other in person group parties are now making a huge comeback.
Speaker 5: Cool people want to finally get offline and find their
Speaker 5: potential mate in person.
Speaker 2: It's so funny that speed dating is now a good option.
Speaker 1: It is like when speed dating first came out, people
Speaker 1: were like, what the hell is it?
Speaker 6: Now young people are like, let me tell you something
Speaker 6: out of the box yet.
Speaker 1: Person, My god, I've posted so many speed dating events
Speaker 1: in my radio, and they're so awkward.
Speaker 5: But they're actually getting more creative with these now, Like,
Speaker 5: for example, in spots around Chicago, they have something called
Speaker 5: Shuffle speed dating, where you show up to the bar
Speaker 5: and then once you're in, they send you a photo
Speaker 5: of a person to your phone. Okay, it's somebody in
Speaker 5: the bar. You need to go around and find them
Speaker 5: and just strike up a conversation for five minutes.
Speaker 1: You know, there's at least three people just standing there
Speaker 1: not looking like their photo.
Speaker 5: They take the photo when you arrive, and then you
Speaker 5: go find them and it's top for five minutes. Then
Speaker 5: after five your phone dings to let you know times up,
Speaker 5: and then you get a prompt to swipe right or
Speaker 5: left on that person.
Speaker 2: Ouch.
Speaker 5: Well, that that makes so much more sense to meet
Speaker 5: them in person than swipe.
Speaker 2: We'll just clear out.
Speaker 5: It's like an uber, like you don't rate them until
Speaker 5: you go on the ride first.
Speaker 6: And this is good for me because I'll be crying
Speaker 6: before she swipes right.
Speaker 2: And after Oh that's good because she does it in person.
Speaker 2: Now her, it's just a little bit more because you're.
Speaker 4: Looking for me, Like, Okay, my guy's crying by himself.
Speaker 5: Then they'll send you a new photo of a different
Speaker 5: person after that to go find in the bar. So
Speaker 5: it's kind of like a love scavenger hunt for the
Speaker 5: whole night.
Speaker 2: So you're getting the backups of the people that didn't
Speaker 2: get swiped.
Speaker 5: Right on, Alexis. Would you go to a singles event
Speaker 5: like that one? Assuming all the drinks are free for
Speaker 5: you and there's the bathrooms of your friends.
Speaker 2: You can't ever say that drinks are free. She'll go
Speaker 2: to anything. It was a bad question, especially with the drinks.
Speaker 5: There's another popular dating event in La called Game Night Socials,
Speaker 5: where singles are meeting up at this giant warehouse with
Speaker 5: tables of different games, like like they have Jenga at
Speaker 5: one table, Cards Against Humanity, They've got Mario Kart set up,
Speaker 5: and they're all.
Speaker 1: Simple games so you don't have to spend twenty minutes
Speaker 1: learning the rules exactly.
Speaker 5: So when you go around playing them as you meet
Speaker 5: new people, and that's that's to see if you have
Speaker 5: a connection that way.
Speaker 2: Would you do that one, Jose?
Speaker 6: I think I would, But it's dangerous that they have
Speaker 6: video games incorporated, because I would just be on Mario
Speaker 6: Kart and then I would have hoard the games, and
Speaker 6: then I'd be telling everyone how to play the game alone.
Speaker 5: Probably get a little competitive start calling them.
Speaker 4: I'm like, look, I'm a streamer following me on kids.
Speaker 2: It sounded fun, Intel Jose with.
Speaker 5: You now back to crying host in front of the Mario.
Speaker 4: I'll go back to the first event.
Speaker 5: Experts are saying attendance that these in person events has
Speaker 5: grown forty two percent in the last year, and it's
Speaker 5: even higher now than it was pre pandemic.
Speaker 4: Dude, I wonder why it is the burnout that's gotta
Speaker 4: be it.
Speaker 10: Yeah, people are sick of the dayd hold back the
Speaker 10: hot people too for money.
Speaker 2: Actually, so you think game Night's gonna pull out all
Speaker 2: the audies.
Speaker 5: But another huge thing that's blowing up are athletic dating events.
Speaker 4: Oh this sounds like.
Speaker 5: Pickleball dating meetups. Those are up one hundred and sixty
Speaker 5: three percent. Even spin class mixers one hundred and thirty
Speaker 5: five percent.
Speaker 2: Is that worse?
Speaker 6: I'm not really sure.
Speaker 2: Go to spin class that is like it's dark, the
Speaker 2: music is so loud.
Speaker 5: I guess maybe the bikes are like facing directly at
Speaker 5: each other and you pedal for a mile and then
Speaker 5: switch one bike to the left, heavily breathing online dating. Sorry,
Speaker 5: let me clip for a second. Now you might be wondering, Okay,
Speaker 5: so how are all the dating apps dealing with the shift?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Are they trying to get into events now because of it?
Speaker 5: Well, you think about it, they were getting There's millions
Speaker 5: and millions of people signing up to their apps just
Speaker 5: a couple of years ago, and now the numbers are slumping. Okay,
Speaker 5: like match Group, which is the people who own like
Speaker 5: Tinder and Sexy Dyslexics, all the popular that you gotta
Speaker 5: want to find real man. But since hitting their peek
Speaker 5: back in twenty twenty one, stock shares for those apps
Speaker 5: have lost eighty percent of their value. Same with Bumble
Speaker 5: down eighty percent.
Speaker 1: I wonder the Bubble owner just sold her like she's out, She's.
Speaker 3: Like, I'm done, take your billion dollars.
Speaker 5: Because everybody's saying there's so many people on the apps
Speaker 5: now that everybody kind of starts to look and talk
Speaker 5: the same.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean kind I mean because everyone's using chat, GPT,
Speaker 1: probably bios.
Speaker 4: Each other up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, all using the same filters.
Speaker 2: On the photos too, So exactly.
Speaker 5: The apps are also shifting and they're trying to create
Speaker 5: in person events. Now we're weird.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we are going back to full circle.
Speaker 5: Like bumble just launched. Bumble Irl encourages singles to chat
Speaker 5: with people in person at community service outings.
Speaker 2: Oh that's a cool one where you volunteer, then you
Speaker 2: meet people.
Speaker 5: There, go pick up some trash off the freeway, then
Speaker 5: pick up a date on your way home.
Speaker 1: I'd be careful of that because not all the people
Speaker 1: picking up trash everyway are.
Speaker 2: Free people and dates and days people.
Speaker 5: Let's not get too picky, but people are dating like
Speaker 5: it's nineteen eighty eight. Again, We're in person is officially
Speaker 5: the way to do it. Now, meeting online you're almost ick.
Speaker 1: So maybe we'll go back even further and you'll start
Speaker 1: having your dad trade cows for you.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, arrange a marriage that way?
Speaker 5: Is that what you want?
Speaker 13: Brooke?
Speaker 2: I mean, how full circle?
Speaker 5: This was gonna go totally full circle. It's Brook and
Speaker 5: Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 9: Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 5: We rarely do this on the show because we have
Speaker 5: listeners everywhere, all across the country and around the globe,
Speaker 5: so we tend to edit out any local references from calls. Well,
Speaker 5: it's further benefit because a lot of people they wouldn't
Speaker 5: know what the hell they were talking about. But this
Speaker 5: call is different. We're going deep into Florida. That's right.
Speaker 5: It's a Florida tap with a woman who has an
Speaker 5: Etsy business where she collects coconuts, paints them, and then
Speaker 5: sells them online.
Speaker 2: Normal Florida stuff.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, and one of our listeners told us that she
Speaker 5: does this and said, please mess with her big time.
Speaker 5: So that's gonna be Brooks job in your phone tap
Speaker 5: right now.
Speaker 9: It's another.
Speaker 2: Hello, Hi, I'm looking for Lauren Ky.
Speaker 13: This is she.
Speaker 5: Who's this?
Speaker 1: It's Valerie Shitsu from the Florida Wildlife Commission. Okay, are
Speaker 1: a tough person to get a hold of. I've actually
Speaker 1: come by your house a few times, but no one's
Speaker 1: ever home.
Speaker 7: How do you know where I live? And why are
Speaker 7: you coming to my house?
Speaker 2: Are you evading us?
Speaker 7: Why would I evade you? What are you talking about?
Speaker 7: What do you want?
Speaker 2: Figured you played dumb?
Speaker 7: Excuse you?
Speaker 1: Well, it's come to our attention that you've been going
Speaker 1: around collecting coconuts and wow, so you admit it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, what's the problem with that? They're coconuts that it's
Speaker 7: falling on the ground.
Speaker 2: I had no idea it was gonna be like this.
Speaker 7: So am I in trouble for speaking of rotting coconuts
Speaker 7: off the floor. What's the problem.
Speaker 1: Okay, you're gonna downplay it. I see, Yeah, you are
Speaker 1: in trouble. You're in big trouble in fact.
Speaker 7: Okay, you're laughing at this.
Speaker 2: Like it's nothing.
Speaker 1: Most people know this, and hopefully you're not one of
Speaker 1: those that pretends to.
Speaker 9: Um.
Speaker 7: I'm not dumb at all.
Speaker 13: Believe me.
Speaker 7: I've been doing this for years. There's no problem with
Speaker 7: collect running coconuts off the floor.
Speaker 1: Then you should know that you just violated an endangered
Speaker 1: species law here in Florida.
Speaker 7: Coconuts are not endangered species. What are you talking about?
Speaker 1: Yeah, duh, coconuts aren't animals, lady. Ye're talking about the
Speaker 1: rats that eat the coconuts.
Speaker 7: What rats are endangered?
Speaker 2: Manates, rats, and bottled nosed dolphins. Are you They're all
Speaker 2: on the list? Look it up?
Speaker 7: Are you? Rats and bottlemlo dolphins? Those go together in
Speaker 7: a category. What are you talking about?
Speaker 1: You knowingly violated Florida law by taking away the rats
Speaker 1: natural food supply of rotting coconuts.
Speaker 7: Yeah, there's no. I don't know if endangered rats. Yes,
Speaker 7: there's no endangered rats that I'm aware of.
Speaker 2: For really, I don't know what your situation is.
Speaker 1: But where I come from, and I've lived here a
Speaker 1: long time, rats are revered.
Speaker 2: In fact, we call them the ground eagles of the sewer.
Speaker 7: I don't care what they're called, their rats, And if
Speaker 7: they really are protected, they shouldn't be.
Speaker 1: I see you're one of them, all right, one of them.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, actually, let me ask you this.
Speaker 2: Have you ever cuddled a rat?
Speaker 7: Of course that that's disgusting. They're unsanitary. I have a
Speaker 7: right explained a lot.
Speaker 1: In fact, I've got a dozen at my home and
Speaker 1: we watch Wheel of Fortune every night, just snuggle up together.
Speaker 7: Why am I not surprised to hear that?
Speaker 2: And it makes me angry?
Speaker 3: Deep deep haatron you to find out someone is taking
Speaker 3: away my baby's food source?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, how would you like it if I
Speaker 1: starve your baby?
Speaker 7: What are you talking about? That is not the same thing.
Speaker 2: It hurts, It hurts, doesn't it?
Speaker 7: It doesn't hurt me. This is stupid.
Speaker 2: What are you even doing with these coconuts.
Speaker 7: Well, for your information, I'm an artist and I paint
Speaker 7: them and I sell them on Etsy and it does
Speaker 7: very well, thank you very much.
Speaker 3: What you just admitted that you're stealing the food supply
Speaker 3: from tidy little rattlings and selling it illegally over the internet.
Speaker 7: I'm all stealing anything. I'm correcting coconuts that fall on
Speaker 7: the ground, which.
Speaker 1: Many people just need to take note here, because we're
Speaker 1: going to be tacking on commercial trafficking charges as well,
Speaker 1: that's for sure.
Speaker 7: Heave me a freaking break, lady. You don't know what
Speaker 7: you're doing.
Speaker 1: We're just gonna get to the nitty gritty here and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna find you actually.
Speaker 2: What Yeah, find me yep.
Speaker 1: I have all the evidence I need and that fine
Speaker 1: will be ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 7: Are you joking ten thousand dollars for picking up rotten coconuts?
Speaker 1: Well, it's actually your lucky day, because it's either that
Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars fine or eight hundred hours of mandatory
Speaker 1: community service.
Speaker 7: What picking up tracks like what I'm doing already with
Speaker 7: your hugs.
Speaker 1: No, you'll be rehabilitating rats at the Everglade Rodent Rehabilitation Center.
Speaker 2: Is that yeah, duh, Okay, duh.
Speaker 7: This is not a big deal. Everybody does this.
Speaker 3: That's where it starts taking coconuts from rats. Next thing,
Speaker 3: you know, people will be calling for the public execution
Speaker 3: of Mickey Mouse.
Speaker 2: Is that what you want?
Speaker 7: Taking coconuts from rats? Is that? Really? That's what you're
Speaker 7: calling this.
Speaker 2: That's what it is.
Speaker 3: And I believe it, and your friend Josie believes it,
Speaker 3: and everybody here at this radio station where you just
Speaker 3: got set up for a prank phone call believes it
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 7: Are you serious?
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is actually Brooke from the radio station. Brooke
Speaker 2: and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 7: Oh my god, Evil, you can.
Speaker 2: Blame Josie, she said.
Speaker 3: Apparently your Coconut etsya page is really taking off.
Speaker 1: But I want to ask at the expense of what
Speaker 1: and who's life should I fail?
Speaker 7: The rest?
Speaker 2: You are evil?
Speaker 9: Wake up? Every morning was funk taps weekday mornings on
Speaker 9: the twenties, Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
Speaker 5: Brook. Before you finally met your husband, how many dates
Speaker 5: do you think you went on with other men? And
Speaker 5: I know I constantly say this, but again, you can't
Speaker 5: count family members. Well maybe for.
Speaker 2: You that brings the number way.
Speaker 5: I bring it up because one of our listeners has
Speaker 5: had the goal to find a guy that she can marry,
Speaker 5: and how many dates has it taken her to get
Speaker 5: to that point? One hundred now two hundred. I know
Speaker 5: she's actually been counting, and we were all shocked when
Speaker 5: she told us the total number of dates that she's
Speaker 5: been on to lead her to this point. But she's
Speaker 5: hoping this last one might finally be it. We're gonna
Speaker 5: try and help her out in your second date Update,
Speaker 5: next second Date Updated. We get a lot of email
Speaker 5: submissions for second dates on this show. Something just jumped
Speaker 5: out about one from a woman named Bonnie and had
Speaker 5: nothing to do with her actual date though. Huh oh,
Speaker 5: make sure you're sitting down for this, because Bonnie says
Speaker 5: she has been on the dating apps now for almost
Speaker 5: two decades, decades longer than longer than Alexis has been alive.
Speaker 2: Basically, literally sids have been around that long. I mean
Speaker 2: like match and stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yeah, like online dating has been a thing.
Speaker 2: For that long.
Speaker 5: Thank you for confirming what she said.
Speaker 2: She's lying.
Speaker 5: I don't know why anybody would admit to that in
Speaker 5: an email. It's kind of a quadruple red flag.
Speaker 1: Well maybe she's had a lot of relationships from these
Speaker 1: things over the twenty years.
Speaker 5: Sure, hopefully she didn't say that on the date to
Speaker 5: the guy, though, I need to ask her, Bonnie, are
Speaker 5: you there?
Speaker 14: Hey, I'm here.
Speaker 5: So let me just start the guy that you went
Speaker 5: out with. We'll get his name in a second. But
Speaker 5: did you tell him that you've been actively on the
Speaker 5: dating app since the turn of the millennia?
Speaker 8: Yes?
Speaker 9: I did.
Speaker 14: I thought it's an interesting fun fact about me. Like
Speaker 14: I've actually kept count the entire time.
Speaker 5: Okay, kept count?
Speaker 2: Wait, like kept count of how many dates you've been
Speaker 2: on from these?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Whoa?
Speaker 2: How many?
Speaker 8: How?
Speaker 2: I'm dying to know how many dates can you do
Speaker 2: in twenty years?
Speaker 14: He was my one twenty seven date, one.
Speaker 5: Thousand seven dates?
Speaker 2: That's that is your system? Like you count?
Speaker 1: A different person gets one count or can the same
Speaker 1: person get like three counts?
Speaker 2: Do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 6: You know?
Speaker 14: I guess I only count like dates, you know, because
Speaker 14: I mean some of these guys I actually dated for
Speaker 14: quite a long time, So that's right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so every day counts as a first date.
Speaker 5: Wow, you aren't you exhausted at this point after one
Speaker 5: thousand and twenty seven dates, you.
Speaker 14: Know, it's not all that bad. Like I've ended up
Speaker 14: with four long term boyfriends. Oh okay, I've gotten engaged
Speaker 14: to two of them.
Speaker 1: Okay, how have you not written a book on how
Speaker 1: to do well?
Speaker 2: I can't tell you'd be the spokesperson or make you
Speaker 2: want to delete them? You know which it is? She
Speaker 2: got engaged twice? I mean like she got two rings
Speaker 2: on her finger.
Speaker 4: She's not happily.
Speaker 5: Married, more like how to not do I don't think so.
Speaker 2: I think it's his success. I mean, it depends on
Speaker 2: what you're hoping for, I guess.
Speaker 1: But like she's doing it right enough where there's real
Speaker 1: relationships coming from this.
Speaker 4: That's a good point.
Speaker 14: Yeah, Like it just never quite worked out all the way,
Speaker 14: you know, honestly, I just want to spend the rest
Speaker 14: of the time talking about your horror stories.
Speaker 2: Have so many.
Speaker 6: We could have her on Battle of tener Dates battling herself.
Speaker 5: Yeah. But I mean, okay, so you've been through a
Speaker 5: lot of ups and downs in your dating life. How
Speaker 5: cool would it be if after going through all of that,
Speaker 5: you finally found real love On our show's sweet, that's
Speaker 5: what I'm hoping for for you today. And it could
Speaker 5: be the case with this new guy that you went
Speaker 5: out with.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, what was his name? Did you tell me?
Speaker 5: We haven't arned it? Yeah, what's his name?
Speaker 14: His name's Grant.
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, tell us about Grant.
Speaker 14: Okay. Well, he asked me on to a restaurant and
Speaker 14: I did not want to tell him I've been there
Speaker 14: like twelve times before with guys on other day.
Speaker 7: I did not tell him that.
Speaker 5: Why didn't you tell him that? Why would that be
Speaker 5: a bad thing?
Speaker 2: That's her boundary, wondering why she told him about the
Speaker 2: thousand dates.
Speaker 5: That maybe if he told him, he would have felt
Speaker 5: like pressured to make it an even better date.
Speaker 14: No, I feel like it to just be weird and
Speaker 14: like second guessing what he wanted to do, you know,
Speaker 14: like he mentioned the place. I'm not going to be like,
Speaker 14: oh no, I can't go there, right.
Speaker 5: I feel like that's what you want. You want him
Speaker 5: second guessing yourself. You want to have the upper hand
Speaker 5: in the day, the whole company.
Speaker 4: He's like, what about here? What about there?
Speaker 1: She's like, no, I mean, after twenty years of doing
Speaker 1: these this online dating she's still positive, she's still kind
Speaker 1: Like that says something about who she is.
Speaker 5: We haven't even called the guy yet, Brooks, So true,
Speaker 5: he's judgment So tell us, sorry if we're just joking
Speaker 5: with you, but tell us, I mean, how did the
Speaker 5: actual date with Grant go? Run us through it?
Speaker 14: Well, he showed up with the bouquet of flowers, and
Speaker 14: I thought that was a really sweet gesture, Like not
Speaker 14: everybody does that. Hardly anybody does that.
Speaker 1: Okay, so he obviously wanted to impress you. He was
Speaker 1: impressed by you. What was your initial thought of him?
Speaker 14: Honestly, it was kind of like you guys, Like, once
Speaker 14: I told him I'd been on the apps for that long,
Speaker 14: he also had a lot of questions. Yeah, naturally, So
Speaker 14: we talked about that, we talked about our job histories,
Speaker 14: and I thought it was good, Like, I don't know,
Speaker 14: the thing I've learned from all of these dates is
Speaker 14: that I've learned like, most good first dates won't blow
Speaker 14: you away, Like it's just finding sort of common ground
Speaker 14: and the baseline of like friendship, and I feel like
Speaker 14: the ones that do blow you away, but they often
Speaker 14: end up having like red flags that show up later.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Alexis, how do you feel about that You're
Speaker 5: supposed to establish friendship on the first date.
Speaker 2: She didn't say you can sleep with them.
Speaker 5: I'm glad figure out where the lines are. Overall, how
Speaker 5: do you feel about the day? Like, how do you
Speaker 5: rate it?
Speaker 14: I mean overall? I think we had a nice time.
Speaker 14: It was like probably an eight of the end. He
Speaker 14: chased me on the cheap.
Speaker 5: Okay, So what has happened since this date with Grant?
Speaker 14: We texted a little, but I think he's hesitant to
Speaker 14: ask me out why. I don't know. I don't know exactly,
Speaker 14: and I'm a little worried that if you get him
Speaker 14: on the line, he's going to say something that I
Speaker 14: should have changed about myself, like twenty years ago or something.
Speaker 14: You know.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean if he said that too late, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: youn't worry about it, like.
Speaker 5: You've had a piece of spinach stuck in your teeth
Speaker 5: for the last twenty years. Nobody said anything restaurant. Yeah,
Speaker 5: even the two guys you were engaged to never brought
Speaker 5: it up.
Speaker 14: So that's why I dumbed them.
Speaker 13: Yes, I mean we can.
Speaker 5: Change food in the teeth. Oh, hopefully it's as simple
Speaker 5: as that. But we need to call this guy first
Speaker 5: when we do your second date update right after this
Speaker 5: hold on, Okay, second date update. Today, we're on the
Speaker 5: phone with Bonnie, who's been doing online dating since the
Speaker 5: websites ran on dial up. Oh you've got mail?
Speaker 2: Oh is that true?
Speaker 5: Had an AOL act It could be true. That's the
Speaker 5: sound of love on the phone again.
Speaker 2: I can't get up.
Speaker 5: The Bonnie told us that in her email, and she
Speaker 5: even said it to her date when they met up
Speaker 5: in person at a restaurant, that she's been at this
Speaker 5: for two decades.
Speaker 1: But it didn't seem to affect him, like it sounds
Speaker 1: like they just continued on with conversation.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that guy seems to be really nice guy named Grant, who,
Speaker 5: even though he sat through the entire date with her,
Speaker 5: has been hesitant about going out with her again. It
Speaker 5: seems like we're going to try and nudge him back
Speaker 5: in the right direction.
Speaker 1: Kind of worried about you, Bonnie, because it's the I
Speaker 1: am Because at the end she's like, what if it
Speaker 1: was something I did that I need to change from
Speaker 1: twenty years ago.
Speaker 5: I mean, that's a normal reaction, Brook, isn't it? It
Speaker 5: is for somebody who's been dating for two decades?
Speaker 2: Is that usually how you feel after a date's gone wrong? Bonnie?
Speaker 14: I mean, the date didn't go wrong, like it was
Speaker 14: a really good first date. So I guess that's why
Speaker 14: I'm thinking that, that's why you're thinking that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but sometime to spin her magical first date into
Speaker 5: some disaster.
Speaker 2: Horror story such a sad statement.
Speaker 5: I thought it was a really beautiful sentiment personally, Bonnie. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm on your side, room, Bonnie.
Speaker 2: How does Bonnie not have her own app?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 2: Hey, we met on Bonnie?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Bonnie, maybe you.
Speaker 5: Know, if this call doesn't work out, we'll hook you
Speaker 5: up with some people to set that app up. Okay,
Speaker 5: all right, let's work on Grant first. Here, I'm gonna
Speaker 5: dial this number right now. Here we go. Hey, we're
Speaker 5: looking for somebody named Grant. I'm hoping that's you.
Speaker 14: That's me.
Speaker 5: All right, Hey, we went and good work. I did it. Hey, man,
Speaker 5: you're on a radio show right now called Brooke and
Speaker 5: Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 4: What's up, bro.
Speaker 5: I con sense you're starting to hang up already. Come on,
Speaker 5: we're doing a segment call the second Date Update here,
Speaker 5: and we really could use your help.
Speaker 13: Sorry, what is happening?
Speaker 2: Oh, this is fun, It's actually pretty fun.
Speaker 4: It's all about you.
Speaker 5: Well, it's about one of our listeners and you a
Speaker 5: girl that you went on a date with recently named Bonnie.
Speaker 2: A woman.
Speaker 5: We're trying to hook you up with underage women. She's
Speaker 5: definitely I don't think anybody thinks that this is a
Speaker 5: of the age women named Bonnie. You went to dinner
Speaker 5: with her the other night.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: She even told us that you showed up with a
Speaker 1: bouquet of flowers, which was really sweet, a.
Speaker 5: Lot of good stuff. We're just trying to figure out.
Speaker 5: How did you feel about Bonnie?
Speaker 13: I I like Bonnie. She had a nice smile, she
Speaker 13: was really easy going.
Speaker 2: Compliments.
Speaker 13: I thought she was a nice lady.
Speaker 2: We had by maybe.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry, did you feel any chemistry with her?
Speaker 13: I guess yeah, I guess.
Speaker 5: There's definitely a little hesitation every time before you answer us.
Speaker 2: That's so confusing. And you said all these positives.
Speaker 5: Now, I will tell you this. She did mention that
Speaker 5: she brought something up to you during the date that
Speaker 5: she was worried may have been a red flag to you.
Speaker 5: She wasn't sure that she's been going out on these
Speaker 5: dates via the apps for almost two decades.
Speaker 2: With breaks, with breaks.
Speaker 13: Yeah, well that was shocking, definitely. I mean, I've been
Speaker 13: on them for a year and I'm ready to jump
Speaker 13: off a cliff.
Speaker 2: You're only a year in. Did you get some good
Speaker 2: advice from her?
Speaker 5: I would assume you don't want advice to be like, hey,
Speaker 5: so I'm going to go back on the apps now
Speaker 5: and meet some other people. If anything, you should feel
Speaker 5: like a lot of respect for her for like being
Speaker 5: able to push through all of the ups and downs
Speaker 5: of online.
Speaker 2: Dating really positive exactly.
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, I mean I thought it was a little weird,
Speaker 13: but I didn't make a big thing of it. I
Speaker 13: still was enjoying her company. I thought it was good.
Speaker 5: Okay, because we were assuming that the reason you might
Speaker 5: not be calling her back is because that could be
Speaker 5: a turnoff for some men. So you weren't scared off
Speaker 5: by that information.
Speaker 13: Honestly, it wasn't the dating history. It was her job history.
Speaker 2: Her job history.
Speaker 6: Oh jobs, we did have like fifteen hundred jobs.
Speaker 2: That's interesting. We didn't even ask her what she does
Speaker 2: for work. Does she do something weird?
Speaker 13: No, it's not that we were just talking about what
Speaker 13: she's done what's letter to hear in all the jobs
Speaker 13: she's had. And it turns out that when she was younger,
Speaker 13: she interviewed for like this stream job that she wanted
Speaker 13: to end. She still seemed to kind of feel bad
Speaker 13: about it. And I was going through the dates in
Speaker 13: my head and I realized, I'm pretty sure I was
Speaker 13: the hiring manager at the time rejected her and didn't
Speaker 13: take her for the job.
Speaker 5: Wait, wait, wait, she applied for a job at the
Speaker 5: company you worked for and turned her down.
Speaker 13: I mean I didn't know it was her obviously, but yeah,
Speaker 13: like at the time, and I mean, it's so vague.
Speaker 13: I clearly I don't have a good memory of the interviewer.
Speaker 13: Why I even sturst her down? But God, definitely rejected
Speaker 13: her from this job.
Speaker 5: Did you tell her that during the date that you
Speaker 5: were the guy?
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 13: Once I realized, I figured, like, oh, she's gonna hate
Speaker 13: me if she figures this out.
Speaker 2: Were you able to remember anything about her? Why interview her? Why?
Speaker 2: I want to know why you didn't hire her?
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's what I figured. I figured she would want
Speaker 13: to know that too, and I just don't have any
Speaker 13: answers for her. So I figured it's probly just safest
Speaker 13: to end this because I guess I ruined your like
Speaker 13: three job.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, you're not calling her because you're afraid
Speaker 5: that in the future that information would come out and
Speaker 5: make things weird between you two. But I have good
Speaker 5: news because that information is not coming out in the future.
Speaker 5: It already came out to her because she's on the
Speaker 5: line right now listening to this.
Speaker 2: That is wild.
Speaker 5: Yeah, she's been secretly listening on the other line. Bonni
Speaker 5: you there, Uh, yeah, I'm here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't do that work settings, but you can't
Speaker 1: do it in this setting.
Speaker 9: Hi.
Speaker 14: Hi, Well, I guess I just I want to know,
Speaker 14: like why, Like I guess I heard you say you
Speaker 14: don't remember why you rejected me for that job, like
Speaker 14: it was a long time ago.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, we're I interviewed so many people. This
Speaker 13: was seventeen years ago. I mean, I obviously I'm sorry.
Speaker 13: If I knew it was gonna be you, I would
Speaker 13: have given you the job. But I don't feel like
Speaker 13: I have anything good to tell you.
Speaker 4: The job was like Blockbuster.
Speaker 2: Yes, it was her dream job. Do you remember who
Speaker 2: you did hire?
Speaker 13: I hired a bunch of people. I really have no idea.
Speaker 14: So you hired a bunch of people and I wasn't
Speaker 14: one of them.
Speaker 4: That's a good point.
Speaker 13: This is what I was trying to avoid.
Speaker 4: Well, think about it, this one. You're so special.
Speaker 1: He remembered your Maybe he was No, he was too
Speaker 1: attracted to you and believed that it was going to
Speaker 1: cause an issue in the workplace.
Speaker 5: Grant, that's a good chance trying and say that to
Speaker 5: her right now.
Speaker 13: Uh, you were too beautiful.
Speaker 5: Go ahead.
Speaker 13: It's clearly I made a mistake. I really am sorry.
Speaker 13: I'm sorry. I can't I mean, I can't go back
Speaker 13: down a few years ago. I am sorry you didn't
Speaker 13: get hired.
Speaker 9: I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't think that she's upset about that?
Speaker 2: Still are you? Are you still upset about it, Bonnie?
Speaker 14: I mean, it's something I brought up than our date.
Speaker 14: So like it was one of those jobs that I
Speaker 14: just it was my only chance at it and whatever.
Speaker 14: But like, at the same time, I would not be
Speaker 14: the person to let that get in the way of
Speaker 14: this either.
Speaker 1: She swear she won't hold it over your head when
Speaker 1: you're in a relationship five years from now.
Speaker 5: I'm getting I'm getting Grant, How does it feel to
Speaker 5: reject someone not only professionally but personally in romantic years
Speaker 5: and years later.
Speaker 2: Oh yeahz does it feel good?
Speaker 13: Honestly?
Speaker 5: No, there you go. I'm trying to guilt you into
Speaker 5: the answer for my next question, which is, would you
Speaker 5: like to go out with Bonnie one more time? And
Speaker 5: we would pay for it?
Speaker 2: They say third times a charm, yes.
Speaker 5: Yeah, or in Bonnie's case, the one eight times. Okay, sorry,
Speaker 5: I'll say that, but I personally think that I feel
Speaker 5: the vibes going on here. We'd like to send you
Speaker 5: guys out on another date, my friend one hundred percent
Speaker 5: on us if you'll see bonb me one more time.
Speaker 5: And Bonnie, I'm just I'm assuming that it is still
Speaker 5: a yes from you, right yeah? Yeah, that way you
Speaker 5: can grow them and find out why he didn't hire
Speaker 5: you in person. But let's just get you on a
Speaker 5: date together.
Speaker 14: Okay, I'm over at what dub Okay, I just want
Speaker 14: to see if this is going to work out.
Speaker 1: I won't.
Speaker 14: I don't want to live in the past.
Speaker 5: All right, that's right, dream guy, she forgives you, give
Speaker 5: her one more chance on us all.
Speaker 13: Look, I mean, if if she's okay with it, then yeah,
Speaker 13: let's go out again.
Speaker 14: Oh ma, thank you, thank you guys.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're welcome.
Speaker 2: That's really cute and like a sad I lost my
Speaker 2: dream job.
Speaker 5: Way Jeffrey in the morning. Gosh, I sure hope he
Speaker 5: didn't feel pressured into saying yes to another day, feel
Speaker 5: guilt changed for crushing her dreams. We would never want
Speaker 5: to make him feel anything like that on your show. Yeah,
Speaker 5: we don't sue that over here.
Speaker 2: Oh, I think that they could end up cute, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 2: she wasn't still angry about it.
Speaker 4: She was the one upset about it. Yes, it wasn't
Speaker 4: at all.
Speaker 5: I'm just hoping that we get an update update out
Speaker 5: of this where date number one zero two seven stops
Speaker 5: for rever now that she killed him, just like that's
Speaker 5: the last yet.
Speaker 4: She should work it into the vowels and they get married.
Speaker 4: You seven? Then I knew, Yeah, I know, I did.
Speaker 4: She's radio.
Speaker 1: She's the only one that could play that song at last,
Speaker 1: and it really means it would like whatever I see
Speaker 1: couples dancing to at last, And I'm like, you're twenty.
Speaker 5: Two, what do you mean? She's been thank you next
Speaker 5: sorry on for too long. But if you ever need
Speaker 5: help with the second date, we will try and do
Speaker 5: that for you. You can email the show. We'll call
Speaker 5: that person who's not calling you back, even if we.
Speaker 4: Have to manipulate that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, no, we don't like to do you no,
Speaker 5: never mind, it's not our style. It's Brook and Jeffrey
Speaker 5: in the morning.
Speaker 9: Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 5: If you found a magic Genie lamp, what would your
Speaker 5: three wishes be?
Speaker 2: Gosh, can we wish for more wishes? Sometimes that.
Speaker 9: Rules? Yeah.
Speaker 5: Now, a lot of people probably be like selfish, wanting
Speaker 5: money and wealth and more wishes, But not me. I
Speaker 5: want simple things like the ability to miraculously heal any
Speaker 5: sickness with one forty second mouth kiss me. I do
Speaker 5: say so. I feel we got to go fully seconds
Speaker 5: if you want to be healed, So everybody line up.
Speaker 2: It feels like some people would still choose to be.
Speaker 5: Sick on them. And second, I'd probably wish for a
Speaker 5: retractable wall in the studio so Brooke can't ole me
Speaker 5: from across the room every single morning like she always does.
Speaker 5: The barrier there.
Speaker 2: And it's not ugly. I can't see very well, so
Speaker 2: it is actually squinty.
Speaker 5: Jeff and finally, I would wish to lose my golden
Speaker 5: pipes forever. Oh no, this sultry voice is my curse
Speaker 5: because people keep wanting to hear me sing with it.
Speaker 5: Whymy I know all of our listeners are wishing to
Speaker 5: hear a brand new song of the week right now,
Speaker 5: and your wish is about to be granted. Here it comes, Brooks.
Speaker 5: Stop looking at me. You cannot take your eyes off me.
Speaker 5: I don't know what's wrong with you. I'm doing my
Speaker 5: song of the week.
Speaker 2: Ok, I'm just looking person talking.
Speaker 8: Get over.
Speaker 5: It looks the other way I'm doing, so it's coming up.
Speaker 5: Oh is that a song in my throats? Or am
Speaker 5: I just happy to see you? I want to know
Speaker 5: it's for my song of the week.
Speaker 2: The right answer to that question.
Speaker 4: When you think.
Speaker 5: About the most undesirable, least appealing jobs in the world,
Speaker 5: there's one profession that's dirtier than a portable toilet cleaner,
Speaker 5: more unsavory than a highway roadkill collector, Oh my god,
Speaker 5: more soul shattering than being a Lexus's auto insurance. Even
Speaker 5: lower than that, I'm talking about being a morning radio DJ. O. God,
Speaker 5: there we are. I know the listeners get to hear
Speaker 5: all the fun stuff on the show, So they probably
Speaker 5: don't understand because we're just joking and laughing all day
Speaker 5: in their minds.
Speaker 2: And we do love our job, but we're not exactly respected.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and look, if I pulled back the curtain of radio,
Speaker 5: let's just say even the backside of that curtain is
Speaker 5: absolutely disgusting. Radio is the lowest rung of the entertainment industry.
Speaker 2: Somehow, are below stand up comedy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, below podcasters, and we have a podcast. Yeah, and look,
Speaker 5: we haven't even mentioned once that this is National Radio Week.
Speaker 5: Did you know that?
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody knew that on my Facebook.
Speaker 4: If you guys ever looked at my social.
Speaker 5: Well, it's usually too shameful of a career to even
Speaker 5: pretend to celebrate. But luckily there is one person here
Speaker 5: who's willing to dip his toe into that audio cesspool,
Speaker 5: and that person, unfortunately is me. So I thought for
Speaker 5: my song of the week, we maybe should champion the
Speaker 5: slowly dying medium that we signed up to work for.
Speaker 2: That's right, we're here now.
Speaker 5: But because all of the big music artists I've been
Speaker 5: announcing that they're going country, all of a sudden, post malone. Everybody,
Speaker 5: I guess I gotta go country for this too to
Speaker 5: keep up. That's why instead of doing Luke Combe's hit
Speaker 5: song when it rains it pours, it's Young Jeffreys, bunch
Speaker 5: of radio dorks.
Speaker 2: Ah, that is so good. Proud, I'm proud of that
Speaker 2: in the country.
Speaker 4: I'm proud.
Speaker 5: Wait to hear me butcher this country song. We'll see
Speaker 5: here we go. I'm a point when I'm ready points.
Speaker 15: We dame morning Man, the show starred Real Bad microwdphones
Speaker 15: are barrogan, so is the thermstad. But we pushed through
Speaker 15: chapter dude, book god or parka on just such another
Speaker 15: can of a red bulls down. That's my sal and wall.
Speaker 15: Then we all come alive with the on air live
Speaker 15: playing the same six songs through your whole damn drive.
Speaker 5: But keep all listening.
Speaker 12: Cufs coming up in ten minutes.
Speaker 15: You can win a family cor pack of garden shows tickets.
Speaker 8: Go ahead and call our.
Speaker 4: Re class line.
Speaker 5: We won't weigh your.
Speaker 12: Salt, gonna prodcast over about lain conversations on a signal,
Speaker 12: No morse body than of talamation, and don't.
Speaker 4: Let a curse the words live for we broke the long.
Speaker 15: So we have been one drink or wears rock's bottom
Speaker 15: mother labor force.
Speaker 5: Turn on your local radio doll.
Speaker 15: And you're sure there's been some per sig gonna line.
Speaker 5: Like the photograph a guy with the drummer.
Speaker 9: Of my room.
Speaker 15: Five our price closets for Arson, all of old.

Speaker 15: of you tire shop can meet us in a problem,
Speaker 15: I said by the shower, and sure of voices make.
Speaker 12: Sound as the mood that the glasses bottle faces falling
Speaker 12: to the left's wife classes.
Speaker 15: That's why I don't too meetings.
Speaker 8: They want the cameas home.
Speaker 15: Our studio, staying from year's worth of coffee dropped on
Speaker 15: the floor behind the stations had dome.
Speaker 5: Like a side wall, a room of padded walls making
Speaker 5: weird praying.
Speaker 8: Calls like an old man.
Speaker 5: Now a flex on.
Speaker 15: Muscles playing round the wag.
Speaker 4: He said.
Speaker 15: For the last time, Buddy, I can't give you tickets.
Speaker 15: I got one station tea and I was lucky to
Speaker 15: get it. You think we're tight with Taylor to Swim, well,
Speaker 15: then you'd be wrong. My Fox Hops six chops just
Speaker 15: a face there saying ain't no money getting better off
Speaker 15: Rick Lay until I got that midday shimp down in
Speaker 15: which you're tall working with tech that's been here about
Speaker 15: as long as dinosaurs just for the bunch of or
Speaker 15: Ramo dolls, less cool than Peppermint ord Y.
Speaker 2: Yeah, wait, you're not best friends with Taylor Swift?
Speaker 5: Shockingly No, if anything, she's probably avoiding us.
Speaker 10: I saw an old promo nail file the other day.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, if you want it text in seventy nine
Speaker 5: two free nail file for Yeah.
Speaker 6: I love how we have seven versions of them every
Speaker 6: time they rebrand the station.

Speaker 5: you could tell us what you thought about the song
Speaker 5: of the week listen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, thanks for sticking with radio you know, or
Speaker 2: on the podcast. Yeah, being here without your choice because
Speaker 2: your parents are listening.
Speaker 5: That's well. Do then go check out the video online
Speaker 5: on our socials on TikTok everywhere at Brook and Jeffrey,

Speaker 5: lot outside of a strip mall massage parlor.
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, wait it all checks out. You guys
Speaker 2: a radio eighty business that will pay the radio advertise?
Speaker 5: Well, they say, at first I thought it was one
Speaker 5: of those radio promotion event things. But there wasn't a
Speaker 5: booth around and she wasn't handing out flyers.
Speaker 8: Brook, what was going on?
Speaker 2: Still making the station money?
Speaker 8: Well if you missed it.
Speaker 5: Instead of singing the country hit from Luke Combs called
Speaker 5: when it Rains It Pours, I sang my own version,
Speaker 5: called a bunch of radio dorks, because that's what we are.
Speaker 5: And it's National Radio Week, and since all the big
Speaker 5: artists out there, like Beyonce air turning country, I thought,
Speaker 5: why not hop into my pickup truck, throw some Tobacci
Speaker 5: in my John give it the old hell too much.
Speaker 2: I don't even think you know what tobacci is.
Speaker 5: No, I I just felt right to say, but what
Speaker 5: are we getting? More feedback? Brook?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
