Five years ago, our listener Jamie played Brooke and got absolutely crushed on her birthday. So what's changed since then? Jamie now has a one-year-old baby named Riley who's been taught from birth to hate Brooke and seek vengeance for her mom. That's why Jamie and Riley are playing together against Brooke today. Jamie, can we assume Riley's middle finger is stuck up to the phone as we speak? Yes it is. Alright, now we're just going to get to the game. Vengeance can be yours today Jamie. You got 30 seconds on the clock to answer as many questions as possible. If you don't know one, you or Riley can say pass, but you have to beat Brooke outright if you want to win. Are you ready? Yes. Good luck, your time starts now. Today is National Siblings Day. The two men credited with inventing flight are Orville Wright and his brother named what? Pass. Who starred as Harry Potter in the movies? Pass. What famous Broadway musical was based off the 18th century French Revolution? I had no idea. Not including Russia. What country has the largest population in Europe? I'll tell you what. Germany? Squeeze that answer in. Are you in the middle of a work meeting right now? Watching my baby right now. Oh, I heard a guy's voice. Yeah, I hear a lot of voices. Maybe there's a TV show going on. Oh, it's TV. He's watching a movie. I got it. Will you turn it up? I'd love to hear more of the movie. No, let's not. We'll just keep it at conversation level. Are we all watching a movie in here? Sounds like a good movie. They are on there. Jamie, it says here you not only have a one year old, but you also have a 19 year old? Yes. Whoa, girl. Is it hard being a mom again almost two decades later after you finished with the first one? It's not funner. It's funner. It's a lot more fun. Oh, God. That's cute. You're a little more prepared. You know you won't break them. Yes. Okay. I don't know if she likes you either. She does it. Yeah. I'm fine with it. It's a family thing. It's very strange. There's one more thing. I did hear little Riley walked for the first time just days ago and you have video of it? Yes, we do. Oh, and you got video? That's like rare. Well, I mean these day and ages you don't ever take your phone away from them. Yeah, all babies have the phones too. So they do little selfie videos of them taking their first step. What do you think? Go, pro? We think baby Riley's watching the movie on. Exactly. A little baby phone. Anyway, congratulations, Jamie, on you and your growing family. Now it's Brooke's turn. Brooke, are you ready? Yes. So today is National Siblings Day. The two men credited with inventing flight are Orville Wright and his brother named what? Oh my God. Orville, James. Who starred as Harry Potter in the movies? Daniel Radcliffe. What famous Broadway musical was based off the 18th century French Revolution? Les Miserables. Not including Russia. What country has the largest population in Europe? In Europe. Oh shoot. Germany. Gosh dang it. I don't know. That must have felt good to hear Brooke be so flustered, didn't it, Jamie? Oh yes. Oh yes, okay. That was awful. Let's go to the scoreboard to see how you both did with our own Jose. Catch me outside, how about that? Catch you outside. Balanios. Bro, she's unrecognizable from that video now. Jamie, you got one correct today. Oh no. You fit it strong. One for your baby's finger. The middle one. Here number one. And Brooke, three correct. I'm sorry, Jamie. Wasn't enough today. Let's go over the answers. It's National Siblings Day. The two men who are credited with inventing flight are Orville Wright and his brother, Wilbur. Wilbur. It's like once you're here, I don't think I would have got that. I got to go see the actual, you can see the actual Kitty Hawk in the Smithsonian. The real airplane. Yes, they have it in the Smithsonian. I got to see that. Who starred as Harry Potter in the movies? That'd be Daniel Radcliffe. The famous Broadway musical based on the 18th century French Revolution is Les Miserables. Yeah. And not including Russia, Germany has the largest population in Europe. Yeah, so we've got the... 84 million people. So Jamie, I'm sorry it was not enough to beat Brooke today, but just for playing, we are going to give you a pair of tickets to see R&B Star Babyface perform at the Muckleshoot Casino Resort Events Center on April 18th. All right on. Thank you. Yeah, have fun. Do you have any other hot tips for new moms out there, Jamie? I do not. I can turn that up. I'd love to hear more of what's going on in the back. I think that's a baby crying. Yeah. Yeah. Crank it up. Yeah. You enjoy Jamie. Come back and play again soon with Riley. We're going to do it same time on Monday. No gloss. No filter. Just stories. Spoken without fear. For a son who is not generous, cannot be an artist. The world will be at peace only when it is ruled by poets and philosophers.
