FULL SHOW: Is This a Joke Textual Healing, Paternity Leave Roulette + No Grunting Zone (4/16/26)

All right, we got you a full hour of just brain rot. Can we go with that? Yeah, that's what it is. No shame in that. It's Brooke and Jeffrey and you found the full show podcast. We love that you're here. We will have a textual healing coming up. We got some phone tabs. We got some fun. But we always love to highlight you because you're the reason we get to do this, which is rad. What do you see, Alexis, on our comment section? Nico said, hello, Carpenter Snipper here from Iceland. I'd love to listen to you guys since I started six months ago, but I can't stop listening. Jose, you're fantastic. Don't give up on love. Brooke, our mom loved your stand on life. Jeff, I don't know what to say about you. Alexa, the good thing about you is reading the comments. Yay! You know what? Six months in, we'll take what we can get. That's so awesome. You are really big in Iceland. I have a lot of people in my stream that are like from Iceland. Really? Yeah. I would love to travel to Iceland someday. Yeah, I heard there's a lot of black licorice flavor stuff there. Oh yeah, so you'll be the only one eating it. Yeah, that's right. I kind of like it too. Yeah, there we go. All right, that's cool. We love that. So let's start this show. Today we wonder how. How does Brooke's husband do it? I don't know what the rest of that sentence is. What do you mean? In any relationship, one of the biggest changes is when you go from just casually dating to fully living with them. Oh my goodness. And rumor is that's happened in Brooke's marriage recently. Brooke, can you confirm? Obviously, yeah, it's not always been this way. We've been living together for a while. Wow. Yeah. Congratulations. Did not see that coming. Congratulations. Thank you. In a new survey, asked men to name things they did not know about women until they moved in with one. That's when the real education begins. And it always depends on if these men had sisters or not, on how they're going to answer this. I mean, honestly. Here's some of the best answers from the survey. Number six, just like cats, they quote, naturally gravitate to the warmest parts of the house. This guy said, I'm honestly unsure if she loves me or just my excess heat. Seriously. If it's not your role to warm my feet up in bed every night, what is your role? What is your point? They're like ice blocks. It's not my fault. What's wrong with women in your feet circulation? Number five, I never knew a tiny, five foot tall, 100-pound woman could somehow take up an entire king-sized bed. Sprawlers. That's right. Number four, how long it takes to put on makeup? A guy said, growing up, he never saw his mom do hers and didn't realize it's a whole thing. It really depends on the person. It takes me a long. On a night out, not my makeup. Just getting ready as a whole, though. Just in that seventh layer of foundation on, it's really important. Number three, their hair gets everywhere. Oh, yeah, the drains are like that. A guy's toe was hurting, so we took his shoes off and he found one single long hair wrapped around it, cutting off his circulation. Yeah, are you fine hairs in your hoodies? Number two, she takes her bra off at the end of the day, the exact same way I take my belt off, with the force of a thousand suns and a huge sigh of relief. Oh, God, it is nice. And the number one thing guys don't realize about women until they actually live with one, it's just three words. Quote, pillows, pillows everywhere. Oh my God. Why do we have to have 15 pillows? I can't see the bed anymore. The only reason you live in a nice place is because you live with a woman. And that's so true. Part of it looking nice is the pillow. And they need something soft to throw at their husbands when they're misbehaving. Why would you throw something soft? That really defeats the purpose. Hair dryers everywhere. Why do you even got a screwdriver on my nightstand, Jim? Now, we've learned a lot about what it's like to live and work with women. Let's learn some more trivia when we go over to digital Jake for a shock-taller question of the day. Give it to us, Jake. Today, we celebrate the birthday of comedian and bad boy for life, Martin Lawrence. Hey, baby, baby, baby. But did you know he shares his birthday with another famous comedy action star? You've probably heard his name but don't know much about him because he never actually spoke in many of his films. Talking about Charlie Chaplin. What? Oh, oh. Timie Black and White guy. They're the same birthday? Yeah, he was Hollywood's original buddy cop comedy action star. Yeah, that's true. Who Martin Lawrence copied a century later. So today, we're going to honor these legends of film by doing a special Whose Film Was It? edition of Plenty of 20. Now, I'll go around the room and I'll say a movie title. You just have to tell me if it stars Martin Lawrence or Charlie Chaplin. You get it right and you're still in the game. I never thought I would play this game in my life. We're all going to start with the woman who minored in early 20th century filmography at Boise State. That's Alexis. Get up. The advantage here. You ready, Alexis? Your film title is The Skank Robbers. Is that a Martin Lawrence or a Charlie Chaplin movie? Wait, he's a mime, right? Charlie Chaplin? No. He was just silent films. Yeah, so there was no talking. So definitely he's the one that had the cane that would like wall. He looks like Hitler with the hat. OK. I feel like all silent movies are robberies and stuff. So it kind of makes sense to me. Oh, that's actually good logic. So I'm going to go that guy. Charlie Chaplin. She said that guy, meaning Charlie Chaplin. That is incorrect. It was Martin Lawrence. Robbins Ganks? Not Robbins Ganks. The Skanks are the robbers, Jose. From 2011 in a cross-dressing comedy, Martin Lawrence and Jamie Foxx became two of the baddest and ugliest female armed robbers America's ever faced. Oh my gosh. Why can't I picture the cover of that for Subway Street? It's like straight out of middle of color. All right, we're on to Brooke. OK. Brooke, your film is The Knockout. Is that Martin Lawrence or Charlie Chaplin? Man, The Knockout. I mean, it could be about so many different things, right? It could be about boxing. It could be about a really hot girl, right? She's The Knockout. Someone gets hit with a falling object. I think it's going to be about boxing. I think it's Charlie Chaplin. Brooke says Charlie Chaplin. That is correct. It was 1914 film. And to show his girl how brave he is, Charlie challenges a large man named Faddy to a championship boxing match. Fun fact, one out of every four boxers back then was named Faddy. I feel like that could also be the plot to a Martin Lawrence film, though, as you read it. We'll see you make them up later. Jose, it's your turn. Your movie is Dough and Dynamite. Is that Martin Lawrence or Charlie Chaplin? I can see Charlie Chaplin baking a cake or a pie, has a bunch of dough, and then he opens it and says, uh-oh, there's dynamite. Pfft. Bep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. OK, I'm going to. No spoilers, Jose. Oh, sorry. This is a slapstick comedy that Charlie Chaplin obviously killed. All right. Jose said Charlie Chaplin. That is. Lynn, sorry. Correct! Another 1914 film he was busy that year, where Charlie and another waiter at a restaurant become bakers, and they put a stick of dynamite in a piece of bread. No. We figured it out. Yeah. Very complex. Let's finish off round one with Jeffrey. OK. Your film is The Pond Shop. Is that Martin Lawrence or Charlie Chaplin? Older Pond Shops. Did they have them in the 1910s and 20s? I don't know. Pond Shops have the originals from the 1910s now. Yeah, I mean, they were just called shops. Yeah. He told us this on antique. I just got a fresh up of rest. I just see it as being like a Martin Lawrence hijinks thing. Give me Martin Lawrence. Jeff said Martin Lawrence. That is incorrect. It was Charlie Chaplin's 1916 film, where Charlie gets fired by a pawnbroker, then rehired a day later, and predictably, he destroys everything in the shop. Oh, no. Charlie. We're on to round two. Only Brooke and Jose are left. Brooke, it's the sudden day. The death part of Martin Lawrence versus Charlie Chaplin. Brooke, you get this right. You win. You get it wrong. You lose. All right, bring it. You're taking it out of Jose's hands. Brooke, your title is Talking Dirty After Dark. Is that Martin Lawrence or Charlie Chaplin? Talking Dirty After Dark. It sounds so naughty. I don't think they would play that in the theaters back then. I'm going to go Martin Lawrence. Rick said Martin Lawrence. She gets it right. She wins. That is correct. From 1991, Martin Lawrence plays a regular guy who can't pay his $67 phone bill, so he has to turn to stand-up comedy to pay it. Brooke with a walk-on. Brooke, you've won today's edition of Blendy of 20. Give me those song lyrics. I'm passing them to Alexis. We're the victim this time. Brooke is choosing Alexis, and she'll be singing wannabe by Spice Girls. She didn't even know who the two people were that we were talking about. I recognize the name. Is that our fault? If you want to be my lover, you got to get with my friend. Make it last forever. Friendship never ends. Thankfully, the singing ends, though. That's your shot call, the question of the day. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Imagine you meet someone out and go home with them on night one. Oh, god. I can't imagine that. That would never happen to me. I don't know when that would even be like. Not once in Brooke's history. Weird. That sounds so crazy. What would be the absolute worst thing that could happen once you got there? Worst thing? A strand of toilet paper falls out of your pants. No? No. Oh, no. Not good. A strange voice comes through the smart speaker that says, yeah. Now move over to the couch. Well, I guess you got a hype man, I guess. But one of our listeners ended up at the girls' place on the first night. And what happened to him was so unforgettable, it's been burned into his mind for the last 20 years. What? And now he wants to share his crazy story in a mass speaker. Oh, my god. That's coming up right now. You don't know me. A confession I can't take back. I am the mass speaker. Got a text to 78592 that says, sometimes I pretend I need to borrow my mom's car. Just so I can go out and put gas in it for her. That's so nice. I'm going to do that to my parents. Hey, if you ever need to borrow one of our cars, feel free to come by the station. We'll leave the keys for you right out there in the lobby. They're going to run it till E and then not fill it back up when they bring it back. Philip Brooks Carter will never run out of gas in hybrid. Or you know what, if you just need to borrow our ears for a confession. We can lend those to you too right here on the mass speaker. They're never empty. One of our listeners who's ready to fill our gas tanks up with his secrets. And he's chosen to go by Pat as his fake name today. So Pat, welcome to the show. Give us your gas. Hey guys, how are you? Pat sounds like a diesel man with that voice changer on. You're on Green Pond, bro. Lovin' what we're hearing. The voice changer is on, Pat. You are the mass speaker. Whenever you're ready, let's hear your confession. My voice is so distinct, guys. I appreciate it. Thank you. You're welcome. What's going on? 20 years ago, man, my fucking life. We did spring break in Jersey Shore, right? OK. So let's say early 2000, spring break Jersey Shore. We're there. You were with Snooki. I got my shirt off right now. You have so much hair gel in. We are so there. Exactly. So anywhere I'm near, we're hanging out on the beach. I ended up meeting the most gorgeous girl ever. Of course you did. I can't believe you would remember her 20 years later. She's drunk. I cannot forget, guys, right? Really? Oh. We hit it off immediately. We spent the entire day together. I stayed with her at her house. Which was a nice little ranch. It was a nice little beach house. It ended up being her parents' place. I thought it was her place. But anyway, we just had a blast. We had a great time. You're partying in your 20s. It's not ever going to be her house on the beach. Yeah. Just. OK. I should have thought about that. Anyway, we wake up to noises on the driveway. Her parents are home. Run. Run. Exactly. She goes, oh my god. It's my parents. You've got to crawl out the window. Oh. How did you know that? Brooke has forced a lot of men to crawl out of windows before. She can hear by the idling of the car. Which car it is. Oh, for sure. That is not even a joke. That's my dad's truck. Get out of here. So did you get out in time? Well, of course I did. I did. Luckily, it was just a ranch house. You know, it was only like one level. So I just hopped out. OK. Go back to the hotel. My friends were there waiting for me. Oh, yeah. Walk of shame, baby. That's a walk of pride. Yeah. Right. Well, that doesn't sound like that bad of a confession. Yeah, why would you keep that secret? Well, the problem is I never got her phone number. At the time, it was like no Instagram, no social media and stuff. Oh, yeah. So I wasn't really able to like keep in touch with her. Yeah. So we just lost contact. But, fast forward 15 years later. OK. I'm going to actually tour this shore, right? Another summer trip. No. And who do I run into? No way. Her parents. You really ran into her again? I really ran into her. Yeah, yes. Oh, it's fake. Did she remember you? Oh my gosh, yes. I walked up to her. She was looking so beautiful. And yes, as soon as I walked up, she did remember me. Oh my gosh. This is a- Tell me you're in love and you got married on a rainbow. You shouldn't keep this a secret. Sell this to a movie. Yeah. One fairy tale love story out of the Jersey show. Yeah. The only one. No, it was really nice. Well, listen, guys. I ran into her again, right? Right. It was the same thing. We hung out for the rest of the night. Again, she invited me back to her place. Same place? Now, this was actually in that area. So she explained the house. It was like a two-story. OK. I wasn't thinking. We fell asleep. We had a great night, but we went to sleep. Same thing. It's four o'clock in the morning. What? And she wakes me up panicking. Oh my god. Oh my god. Wake up, wake up. No. She said, my boyfriend, he's home. Oh my god. Oh no. Well, I'll go to my assigned window at this point. Oh my god. What did you do? I bet you were heartbroken. Oh my god. She yells to me, get in the closet. Oh, wait, what? Oh, in the closet. That's not great for the window. Oh, she wants you to hide? What, for hours? Yeah, that's all right. She's just panicking. She's not thinking. That's what I'm thinking. But of course I did. I don't know the guy, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I jump into the closet, where I'm just, like, frenically, like, getting dressed, putting my clothes on and stuff. Oh my god. I hear the boyfriend come in the room. He gets in the bed that I was just lying. Oh my god, it's still warm. It's still warm from your body. Thanks for warming it up for me, honey. Dude. They're laying there, talking and giggling and kissing and they both fall asleep. Oh my gosh. How can people do that? I don't understand. No, that's not it. I myself fall asleep in the closet. Oh, it's far in the morning. It's far in the morning. That's right. Waiting for them. So I fall asleep in a dark closet. I never think about that happening. And then she wakes me up out of the closet, telling me he's in the bathroom. He's in the bathroom. So go ahead, jump out the window. Yep, now's your time. Wait, why can't you leave out the door? Well, that would have been a great idea, but it was easier to go out the window. Did you jump out the window of a second floor? So yes, I do. Are you OK? Did you break anything? 15 years later, how was the fall? I'm OK, but I did have to drop down a floor and a half. Yeah. And I hit the window, air conditioning unit on the way down, like, oh. He frightened my ankle. I had to lift back to the damn hotel. Oh, man. And then anyway, that was like the last time I seen her. I haven't spoken her a sense. Oh, man. What a terrible end to what we thought was going to be a love story. I am just disappointed for you. Well, hold on. Did you go back to the Jersey Shore one more time? They're not in control. No, I will not. I'm worried, honestly, if I ever go back to the Jersey Shore again, the next situation would be even worse. Yeah, you got out twice, man. And she keeps adding floors every time you see her. So it just gets more dangerous. Exactly. I don't even want to know what comes out the floor too, right? Oh, dude. All sad. Thanks for that story. We're glad to hear that you're OK. And text in 78592, if you have a confession you've been holding onto, we'll hide your identity, mask your voice, and make you the next mass speaker. Your phone tap's coming up. Next. Today, we call a guy whose wife is pregnant with their first child. Aw, that's so sweet. Eight months along right now, so we recently put in a request for paternity leave. OK. He knows his job is pretty crazy, but he needs somebody to step in and cover for him while he's out. And he's a little worried about the company finding a decent replacement. Luckily, we're about to put his mind at ease with three excellent candidates to fill his role. Good. Three? At least that's what we think they're excellent. We'll find out what his take is in your phone tap right now. Brooke and Jeffrey's phone tap on the 20s. Hello. Hey, Anthony. Yeah, speaking. Hey, this is Louis S. from Corporate HR. I'm calling regarding the request that you sent in for paternity leave. Yes, my wife is eight months pregnant. Oh, wow. So we're just looking for a little bit of time off to welcome the little one to the world. First off, congratulations. And thank you. I'm actually calling to let you know your request has been approved. Seriously? And we have three potential candidates who could step in. That's amazing. I just submitted that request yesterday. I just wanted to move this along as quickly as we could. And I actually have all three candidates already on hold. I'm just going to punch up the first one and let you talk to him. See if he's a good fit. Hey, Ricky there. What I said? I said, hello there. Yeah, so that's Ricky Anthony. I have some other stuff to tackle. I'm just going to jump off for a second. You guys can talk and I'll be back in just a little bit, OK? Sure. First off, let me just say that I love the fact that you're a salesman and your name Tony rhymes with Mone. What? We're going to make a lot of Mone together, friend. You know what? Can you tell me a little bit about your background? I said I could sell snake oil to a cactus friend. I actually did sell some hemorrhoid cream to a five-year-old at a book fair. He didn't know what he was buying. I'm not entirely sure how that relates to my job at sales. Well, it's got to be selling. I don't care what your age is. I got the sale. I just told that child that it was smart cream. He should put it all over his head. And he did. Wow. It was pretty funny. Hey, fellas. Let me just put you on hold for a second there, Rick, real quick. All right, OK, Lewis. Thank you. So, Anthony, how's it going with Rick? You know, at first blush, I don't know that that guy's going to be the right fit. What? Yeah, he's a little over the top. Well, I just think he has that big, magnetic, southern, charming personality. Maybe you were a little intimidated by it. OK, I don't think I was intimidated. No, that's OK. We can just go on to candidate number two. I got someone else for you. Oh, boy. Oh, Jase, hello. It's Jase, Anthony. Yes, who am I speaking to? It is I, Rolando. OK. You are having a baby, no? Yes, actually, yes. My wife is eight months pregnant. Oh, which means you must have been playing some type of beautiful song or song while you were conceiving this angel baby child. For example, when I am making love to a woman. Oh, my God. I prefer to put on a baby shark. Oh, my goodness. Baby shark. Doot, doot, doot, doot. Oh, please don't start. A baby shark, you see? Sorry to jump back in on the call. Hopefully it was productive. I don't even know what to say to that, honestly. Rolando, I'm going to put you back on hold there. I will never forget this moment. Thank you so much. All right, he is gone. But what do you think? He's got winter written all over him, right? Are you kidding me? That guy's a total pervert. What? 100%. He started talking about songs and my wife. And yeah, I know. I've worked with Rolando for years. That's just him. I don't care if that's just him. I don't want him taking over my account. You're being a little bit more harsh and critical than I thought you would be. I'm coming to you with all these great candidates. But these are not great candidates. I don't know what your screening process is. But this is kind of ridiculous. Anthony, you know what? Agree to disagree, but I'm punching up candidate number three right now. OK, no, no, no. I don't know if this is a. Excuse me. Hello, who these? This is Anthony. Who is speaking? My name's Frank. But my mates call me Clover. They call you Clover. OK. Because I'm lucky to be alone. Is Louis still on the phone? Hello? Look, we don't have time for Louis. I need the codes right now. The code? I have 10 seconds. I need the codes right now. We're at a launch code. OK, do you have a resume that you can? Seven. Email me. Six. Five. I don't have. What? What do we talk? What codes? You want my? Oh, damn it, Anthony. You know what you've done. What have I done? What are you doing? Apparently, now I have to wait another 30 seconds before I try to pass it again to get logged into the computer. What the hell is going on here? What's going on, Anthony? Is he didn't give him the code. So now we have to tell you that this is a prank phone call. Wait a minute. Are you serious? Are you messing with me right now? No, dude. We don't work at your company. We're from a radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. I'm Jeff. That's Jose. What's up, brother? Oh, my God. Are you serious? Your wife, Marie, set you up for a prank call. No way. I am sweating bullets right now. I was also sweating when I talked to Marie. Now I see my friend. Oh, my heart is beating out of my chest. Brooke and Jeffrey's phone taps on the 20s. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. In a new relationship, there's all sorts of little things that can give you the ick. So many, dude. Like if they part their hair the same way your dog does. What? Just right in half? Or if after every kiss they giggle and in a baby voice say, Do it again, mama. Oh, Jeff. That voice is terrible. There is no coming back from those. You can be the friend ick, Jeff. That's why one of our listeners needs our help today. Because she's been dating this great guy. And the one thing that might be giving him the ick is the awkward text exchanges that they've been having. And like just this morning, she got a message. She has no idea how to respond to. So we're going to try and step in and help her out with a textual healing coming up. Right after this one. Don't stop. I don't like it. It's getting stronger and stronger. When I get that feeling. Textual healing. Textual. Needless to say, this morning show has many, many skills using our fingers. Pencil tricks, tummy tickles. Me and Jose pinching our noses when we pass by Brooke's lunch. Oh, you have to. We are very, very good with our fingers. I didn't know you could smell cauliflower so much. I'm sorry. It's not pleasant. Especially when you put it in the microwave. Maybe don't do that. With spinach. Horrible. But you know what? Maybe our best finger skill is texting. We like to help our listeners come up to our level with this segment called textual healing, where we help somebody with their texting conversation when they don't quite know what to say. And today's honored guest who needs some tender textual healing is Dory. So let's welcome Dory to the show. How you doing? Hi, everybody. Hey, Dory. Dory, you hungry? You want some of my lunch? I'll give you some. Yeah, death by garlic. Say no. Say no. It sounds fabulous. She's lying. Yeah, she does. That's all right. I like Dory. Dory, you reached out for us because you need help with some texting. Who are we going to be texting today? Yes. You guys, I met this guy and we've been going out three or four weeks. It's not exclusive. We haven't had the exclusive talk. But in real life, I really, really like him. Oh, that's awesome. What are you feeling? In virtual life, do you like him too? Not so much. What? No, in texting life, it's a problem. The thing is, we're together. It's great. I have no issues. I really like him again. But when it comes to texting, we're off. Really? I know exactly what you mean. Maybe he's just not. I mean, I feel like there's a lot of people out there that don't know how to keep a conversation going on text. Is that what it is? Is it feel like you text him and then things just stop? I'm just not sure what it is. It's really not vibing. It's like, it's so different from how we are when we're together. Do you have an example of how your texting isn't meshing with each other? Yeah, actually I do. So one time, he texted me and he said, when you come over later, the neighbor's kids have challenged us to a water fight. OK. A water fight. That's cute. That is cute. Right, that was a cute text. And so I texted back. I said, oh, that sounds like fun. I'm in. Yeah, that's a good response. Squirt got emoji. And then he texted, should I wait for you to boil the water? Wait, he's going to pour boiling water on the neighbor children and he's being funny, right? I mean, I was confused. I was like, what? And then he was just like, oh, he was just joking. Yeah, yeah. But that's an example I'm trying to say of why it's off. In real life, I don't seem to have that confusion. In real life, you get jokes on jokes. Got it. Well, you could see the water boiling in real life. That way, there's no question. This is a thing. You have bad text chemistry. Usually, if you have good chemistry. You talk about this a lot, though, Jose. Is that a bad thing, though? Is it bad for a relationship? I would say, yeah. You want to be excited to text them. Like, are you worried about this? If you're dating, you're not going to text all day anyway. That's true. I mean. I am a little bit worried about it, because it sets a dynamic off. Like, I don't know to go forward or what. OK, so you feel like every time that you guys do a text conversation, it's like subtracting from your relationship in real life. So where are you at right now in your convo with him via text? It's still confusing to me. Like, actually, today, he texted me something. That's why I'm calling you guys. I don't know how to respond. So I sent him a text. Let me read it to you. I said, hey, that computer that you let me borrow, do you know how much RAM it has? It sounds like a bad pickup line to me. Did he let you borrow a computer? Yeah, well, he let me a computer. It was a really serious question. I needed to know for downloading or whatever. I was serious about it. And he responded, you guys. He said, sorry, I don't know. It was a friend of mine, and he's dead now. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, OK. I mean, he couldn't have been joking again. It's a dark, dark. How do you read that? Very dark. I don't know what to think. I mean, I didn't respond or text back because I don't know whether to make a joke. If he was joking, you know, if it's really true, then I might say something that's insensitive to a dead man. This man needs to use emojis more. That's true. So we're responding back to this text with you right now about his friend possibly dying. Yes. OK. Can you just write back, are you serious? Question mark or is that? That sounds kind of cold and heartless. I think that no matter what happens, especially early on in a relationship, you want to keep things as light and as playful as possible. He mentioned a dead friend, so. But maybe, but he was joking about the water balloons and boiling water on top of children. Clearly, his sense of humor is a little bit different. So what if you write back and you say, uh-oh, is this computer cursed? OK. No, no, no. If he's dark, you got to go darker. Be like, how did you kill him? What? Ask him, how did you murder your friend? That curse was dark enough. What? What if you said, how about we get out the Ouija board and ask him? See, that's funny. That's dark. Dory, what do you think? You have lots of options to choose from there. None of them are being normal at this point, though. You have to get back with a dark sum. Well, she didn't come to us for a normal response to be like, oh, sorry. Oh, my gosh, you're right. We need a fun, playful response. You want a seance to talk to the friend to figure out the reality. The ram, I mean, that's acknowledging what he said. It's joking back in a not mean way. What do you think, Dory? I do like where you're coming from. So I feel like I could say something like, well, can we have a seance so we can find out? OK. I like that. Oh, and then you could use that crystal ball emoji. Oh, yeah. They say, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They're a fortune teller. Not a seance, but whatever. Never be used. Whatever. Or the handles would be more entertaining. I think the message will come through either way. Why don't you type that out and send it to your new guy friend here? I'm going to do it right now, you guys. OK. You have to do it right now. That's the point. Yeah. What are we doing? Did we get his name? We didn't ask for his name. OK. Do we need it? OK. She's busy writing right now. Yeah, I don't want to distract her and ruin the text. I was laughing while she was typing in. She thinks she's so funny. It is funny. All right, I'm going to send it. All right, let's do it. And send. OK. All right. There's no way he's like, actually, my friend does haunt me. I'm a dare you, you know? It could come back to me. I have one plan this Friday, so that works out perfectly. But this is fun enough. It's right in the middle, you guys. We've laid the groundwork for a nice playful conversation for the rest of the way. We're going to come back and see if he responds to that. Or the other friend. Ooh, for the gray. Get a ghost text. What's his name? Who are we texting? Andre. Andre. Andre. Here we go. We'll see if Andre responds. OK. And we continue textual healing right after this. We're in the middle of textual healing with our listener, Dory. And normally, we get a lot of relationship stuff on this segment about how to text your crush, or the UPS guy, how to text Brooke's husband to get him out of the house so Roy, the traveling salesman, can come over. We got a lot of excuses for that one. But text with Roy is fine, though. Yeah, just with the husband. You got a lot of chemistry. I'm kidding, honey, if you're listening, there's no Roy. This is a little bit different, though, because Dory needs our help texting the guy that she's just started dating. All their in-person chemistry is off the charts. It's just when they're on the phone texting, it can get a little bit rocky, and they can't tell when the other person is joking or not. Oh my god, I still don't fully know either. Yeah, that's actually why she emailed us today, because she was asking him over text about a computer that she borrowed and how much RAM it has. He responded with, I don't know, that computer belonged to my dead friend. So that put us at an interesting fork in the road. Do we take that seriously, or assume that it was a joke? I mean, like Alexa said, this is why emojis were invented. He needs to be using them. You need to know the inflection, your emotions. He joked before with a previous text, so we went down that road again and wrote back, well, maybe we should do a seance to find out. Trying to be playful. And I'm thinking, after we did it, I'm worried. Like, did we really do that? That's a little bit, it is a little bit dangerous. We can apologize. We can come back on it. I am interested to see if Andre has replied to it. Dory, have you gotten any word back? Yes. Okay. Oh no, what did he say? Drama. It's okay, he said. Oh, snap. Do you believe in that too? We should 100% emoji do a seance for our next date. Okay. Oh, okay. He's not offended. He continues. If he responds, you're gonna love him. He's a great guy. Oh, wait. That makes me seem serious. Yeah, that's what I'm worried about. How do you read that, Dory? Do you think he's joking back, or is he being serious now? I think he believes in ghosts. I don't know. Okay, wait, where do you stand on that belief? Are you down having a seance with your new boyfriend? We're kidding, Brooke. She's not gonna have a real seance. But this does mean that it actually is the friend's laptop and the friend's dead. See, I'm 100% on the joking side. Are you saying he's joking? People that joke around nonstop like me, never stop. That's why it says nonstop, Brooke. Like he just took it too far. Exactly. He's not gonna stop. I don't know if he is, because if he'd sent the text without mentioning the friend specifically, then I would think it's a joke. So where are you at? But the fact that he's bringing up his friend might mean that that's serious. And that you're gonna meet him? I think he thinks you're gonna meet him. Which would be cool. That's a step in a relationship. Meeting the close friends. That's been interesting. That's interesting. Is it a little bit too soon to be meeting the dead friends? Don't you have to give it a few months? I don't know if there's a rulebook for that one. Okay, okay, now meet my great grandma. Let's find her. It's like you just meet all the relatives. You guys, I'm so worried now. I mean, what do I say? Okay, okay, now we gotta legitimately find out if this is a joke or not. Right? Do we need to do that, Brooke? Well, what else do we do? We just keep on the road and we don't know whether we should show up on Friday night for a seance. The trains in motion. Don't jump in front and try to stop it now. We could keep joking. Why don't you say this? Why don't you say this? Truth is, it'd be my first seance. What should I bring to that type of date? What do I wear? Alexis doesn't like it, no. No, I do. Alexis is being polite. She always says yes to everything. But I would also totally do a seance. So you should say that if you don't want to do it. But you need to know, like do you bring a bottle of wine? Do you need to wear a black dress? Like where are we at? Are you actually open to a seance here, Dory, for real? Not really. Okay. But maybe there's a way we can joke and back off of it. I really like you guys' response of truth. It'll be my first seance. What should I bring? I like that. You like that. Well, now you do what I do. Okay, then just send that. Send it. Let's just send it. Okay, you guys, I've texted it. I've texted it. And now, we'll totally, I think, be able to tell from this text. Because if he says, wear something nice and be respectful for the dad, then you'll know he's serious. If he's like, bring a bunny costume, then you know he's silly. Go to a pet cemetery and dig up a dead animal. We need the bones from it. See that? I don't need that. You guys, you guys, he texted back. He texted back. Hey, here we go. That was really quick for a G's. He's really excited about the seance. He must be. He said, oh, are you serious? That could be a deal breaker for me. What? Oh, doing it or not doing it? Wait, asking what to wear? No, admitting that it's her first time. I know. Or me being into it as a deal breaker. I don't know why. The opposite. Yeah, but it sounds- Being into it's bad. Oh. Yeah. Just say, I was joking and just leave it at that. Oh, what did you say? Oh, yeah. And then see what he- What should I say next? And then he can decide what the joke was. Yeah, yeah. Can we joke back and say like, oh, thank God, because I was worried I was gonna fall in love with your dead friend. Oh. Oh. No. No. No. Or you were worried that his friend was gonna hit on you. I mean, maybe he's gonna hit on us. In front of him, yeah. Because remember, our mission here is just to try and connect with Andre, this guy that she's texting. And it is off still. It is. It's not gonna be playful. Well, we're talking too much about Andre's possibly dead friends. I like your joke. I think your joke's funny. Okay. Like, I do. I liked your version of it though, a little bit better than mine. Oh, okay. I was worried that he was gonna hit on me anyway. Yeah. Ghosts have a thing for me, so I was worried he was gonna fall in love with me anyway. What? What you're showing by doing that is that you're like a light, playful person. You don't take things too seriously. You're just trying to like have a good time with it. Right. I'm not being judgmental or whatever. Yeah. Let's just send that. Maybe you could put a laugh emoji on the end just to show that you're a joke. The ghost, the ghost, because it's a little silly winky ghost. That even knows it's a joke. Yeah, or the laughing. To remind him, he can use those too. Honestly. Yeah, good point, Alexis. Help him. Lead by example. Okay. All right, so let's see. I'm getting it. Okay, I'll take that. Do you always have this big of like a buildup every time you send a text to anybody? You have to like hype yourself up for it. With this man, I think. Maybe just with you, with Andre. No, it's just because, you know, it's so new and I really like him and I don't wanna... Okay, so, all right, so, okay, I've written it. I'm gonna send it and send. And button send, there we go. Okay. Do you feel like you're texting with your mom right now, Jeffrey? Yeah, seriously. All right, I mean, I just feel like we're not like crossing the line here. We're not being offensive. We're just being playful and jokey and fun. Yeah, we stay in the middle, which is good. Dude, if he writes back and is like, no, seance is on. Oh, okay. This guy has so much work. He wrote back, guys, he wrote back. Oh my gosh. He's really fast. What did he say? He said to laugh emoji. Yeah. Okay. You taught him. He said, I was just messing with you. Oh. I don't have a dead friend. Oh, thank God. But we should text more. You're funny. Oh, no. Oh, no. Except for he just... Her funny. He wants her to text more. Yeah. We get her on every day. Yeah, I don't know if we can be there for every single text conversation that you have, but you know what we'll do? We'll give you Brooke's new landline. So you can call her at home. She's the only one in the entire city who has one now. You know she's gonna answer. Or the kids will answer. Yeah. That whole family's funny. You feel like we've helped you out there, Dory? Can we leave you to it now? I think you guys did an amazing job. We did. I think going forward, our texts will jive better together now, I think. Yeah, you need to read every text from this man as a joke. Yeah. Nothing he says on text is serious. Do those voice texts from now on. Maybe. Just so that you don't frustrate people with your slow texting. Yeah. Pretty much. Okay. Anyway, that's textual healing. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Men are allowed to grunt and groan. They're men. It's what men do. But there's a certain place that women are like, okay, you know what? This is too much. Knock it off. Plus, did one woman uncover the secret for why there's so many work meetings in this country? I don't need to know. She has a theory. And the one fruit a certain TikTokers says is all you need to look 20 years younger. Whoa. And. I'll just say you're not eating it. Find out where you put it in a brand new. Woo, TikTok Click Shock. That's coming up right now. Are the rumors true? Is Kendrick Lamar really gonna drop a part two diss track to his award winning song? They not like. Woo, TikTok Click Shock. Ooh, look out Drake. You in trouble again. We thought we got him last time. It's TikTok Click Shock, where we serve up the biggest TikTok videos from the past week. Let's get right to your first TikTok Click Shock, which is from an influencer in Miami, who's going viral with 2.6 million views on her latest video. Cause there's always been this dynamic where men have their spaces and women have their spaces. Like in a house or an apartment or something you mean? Like that? No, that's very, very antiquated way of thinking. I think that's a very, very mean thing. I just mean places where guys go to hang out and places where girls go to hang out. In the world. Women are allowed to hang out outside of the house, Brooke. That is the new way of thinking. I don't know. Okay, we're living in the 21st century. It's only women will meet places I've never done. Recently, some dudes have been tiptoeing ever so slightly into one of those sacred spaces for ladies. And the women do not like it. Okay, if it's a spa, I already did this. I'm talking about yoga class. Oh, I've been thinking about doing that. There's tons of guys in yoga. Women hate that. In particular, this woman named Alexandra is not happy about it. Listen. Just took a hot yoga class and there were many guys in the class. This particular man, push-ups before class started, heavy breathing, grunting, slurping his water. It is a quiet, Zen, peaceful yoga class. It is seven in the morning. Why must you take up more space than you already naturally do? Why can you be seen and not heard? Demir, cutesy, you know? Like you don't, we get it. You're a man. Like you don't need to act like that though. It's annoying and we all secretly hate you. Oh, for me. Do you think that, wait, hold on. Do you think that she's saying all men because she's talking about one very specific type of man? Why do I feel like he wasn't trying to be manly? I feel like he was struggling to keep up. Yeah, exactly. He's a hot yoga's too tough for him. Lot of women jumped in saying yes and they grunt all through Pilates too. Oh, man. I grunt too. One time there was a guy in my yoga class who at the end of the class looked over at me and goes, glad to see someone else sweats as much as I do. Oh, what? What? He's a big guy. He's like, you're me buddy. Another comment says, it's cause they can't keep up and they're only in the classes for the eye candy. No. I agree. Too much noise in general from the men. From now on guys, bring in your CPAP machines and shut up. Every male breath is a slap to a woman's face. So be quiet. That was a TikTok click shot. Oh, man. I'm standing up for you girls, okay? I got your backs just from outside of yoga. You should do yoga. Your next TikTok click shot. Oh, sorry to step on a woman's toe, shouting out. What is wrong with you today? This is from an account called, Catherine hates boomers. And she's going viral cause she claims she knows the real reason why Boomer bosses schedule so many meetings. Oh, interesting. Here's her thoughts. Boomers love meetings. They'll have meetings about meetings. Meetings make them feel important cause next time somebody's trying to schedule something like a doctor's appointment that doctor says, can we do it on Wednesday the 12th? They can say, no, sorry, I can't. I have a meeting that day. Oh, you're an important person who has meetings. Anybody can email. Work is about showing your title. An email just does not convey that grandeur. They also love their paperwork. So they can file things away in a drawer to never be seen again. But having paperwork, that makes you important. So why we can't work from home? Do you think there is truth to the general idea that Boomer bosses are only scheduling meetings so they look important? They're just on a power trip. I just don't think they know what else to do with their time. It's like what people did for them so they're just doing this. They think I hate meetings. And the truth thing is the meeting before the meeting. That happens. We're like, look, we're gonna have a meeting at one. We have a pre-meeting. No, we gotta talk about what's gonna happen in the meeting. It's like, what the? Those meetings are annoying, but the one-on-one meetings with the closed locked doors, let's not stop those. More of those boss meetings. Why do they lock the doors behind them? I'm not doing those meetings. Yeah, I'm just lucky, I guess. The top comment on the video says, Boomers are the most out of touch, inefficient group of bosses out there. They need to just retire so we can have a 32 hour work week. That was sent by a woman in our area whose name is Alexis. Oh, that makes sense. Sure, that's just a coincidence though, same name. I mean, I wouldn't not agree. Alexis agrees with Alexis. So the bosses aren't listening to Alexis. That was a TikTok click shock. Let's go to your final. TikTok click shock. Which is a new beauty trend that's been getting millions of clicks lately. And I'm sure Alexis has seen this one in her algorithm. I know Brooke would absolutely love it. Because Brooke, you're all about natural, organic, smells bad, weird stuff for your nose. Yes, yes and no. I like it to smell good. Well, you'll be happy about this new all organic beauty hack. And all you need is a piece of fruit for it. Okay. Yeah, here it is. So we're gonna be rubbing raw banana peel against the entire face. It's supposed to be like natural bowtogs while tightening the skin. It also helps with discoloration while also exfoliating your skin. So here I am just letting the banana peel sit for about 10 minutes. And then we're gonna wash it off. Banana peels also help you whiten your teeth. So that's what I'm doing here. I already cleansed so my skin is feeling super smooth. And that's it, bye. Okay. Wow, bananas do it all. She looks 22. She doesn't need the banana peel. She's actually 78 years old. Compliment to her. It's working amazing. I'm not putting banana peels on my face. But the peel is perfectly under your eyes. It's kind of nice. Dude, nope, I'm gonna stick with my $100 face cream. Oh, stick with that. You're the neatest up here. The top comment says, been doing this for a while and it definitely works. The second top comment says, does this work with cheese too? Ooh. We're just trying to find substitutes for the banana? That's right. It's something that it's a little more tasty at the end of the treatment. And then some psychopath wrote, you can actually freeze the peel and use it again later for a second round. Oh, yeah. But I bet if it was cold, it'd really take the backs of your eyes. Yeah, it would. You know? So you'd have to roll it? Yeah, exactly. Hey. Women taking bananas to the face is the hot new trend of the year. Those were your. Tick tock click shots. Stories for the day. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Win, Roots, Bots. Woo, woo, woo. Gina from Bremerton is on the phone. She is a new time player to win Brooke's box and says when she plays in the car. Yeah, she does well. She beats you about 10% of the time. Oh, wow. Which is interesting, Gina, because that's about how much Brooke respects you as a competitor. Oh. 10%. That's not true, Gina. It's all good, Brooke. Yeah, I haven't even met you yet. Gina, you should mean you saved the 90% for when you're on the air, baby. Oh, there you go. Let's do it. There we go. 10% guaranteed to get the participants prize. Yeah, that's true. The consolation. We do. We do have that. I think they're outlawed in some states, actually, a participation trophy. We're still offering it here. We're triggering some people out there. We want everyone to feel good. Yeah. Except for Brooke. Leave the studio. Get out of here. While she leaves. Gina, you know the game's played. You got 30 seconds to answer as many questions as possible. If you don't know when you can say pass, but you have to beat Brooke outright to win. All right. All right. And there's always that consolation prize if you don't. So here we go. I'm ready for it.

Thank you. Do you have a reason why? I just said girl power. Yeah. I love hearing girls' voices, and she's super smart. I have a uterus. You don't. I love it. How dare you assume Jeffrey doesn't have a uterus. I'm going to go to the store and buy one. I got your back, bro. That's really sweet. Thank you. That's really nice. That makes me feel good. I also enjoy Brooke. Now I may throw the game. I just like it. I'm a couple that's getting used so far. All right. We'll see. Gina, you love a cheater.

Sounds like me while we're doing the show all the time. Gina, you got one correct today. That's all right. And Brooke, your favorite person on the show, Gina. That's nice, Gina. She got three correct. No, congratulations. I'm ready for my first Vincent phrase. OK. Let's learn something together about what we did and did not get right. Let's do it for everybody listening.

I could see Flamingo, though. That was a good answer. Vincent van Gogh is famous for painting sunflowers. Brooke, you were like an art history major? No, I was just a fine arts major, but I never finished it. Oh, OK. Yeah. But that's how you knew that. Jersey, Belgium, blue, Aberdeen, Angus, all different types of cows. And since 775 AD, the oldest currency in the world still in use today is the British pound. Really? Yeah. We don't consider gold because you can't just walk in with a bar of gold. It's true. And be like, here you go. Now, Gina. I felt dumb after I said it, but it's OK. No, I mean, it made sense. It'd be really cool. It's going to be around forever. Now, here's the moment that Gina's been waiting for. Yes. Just for playing with us, what we're going to do is send you some Brooke and Jeffrey swag as a consolation. Look at that loser gift. Oh.
