Full Transcript
It's almost trivia time on Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, but it's also April Fools' Day. So we gotta do something fun to mix it up. Are you supposed to tell people about the prank before you do it? Yeah. That's why today, as a special treat for Brooke and for all of our listeners, I will not be hosting this segment. Yay! Instead, I'm handing over the reins to the highly capable, always composed, never flustered Alexis Fuller. Oh no! Alexis Fuller! Oh no! Take my microphone and my picture. Okay! I will be observing from nearby, but you can introduce today's new challenger in your own style. Oh no. Do you have their names? Yes, I do. It's Allie. All right, Allie. Allie describes herself as a chief home officer. Chief? Chief. Chief. Chief home officer. Okay, CEO of her house. I thought she was just in a trailer park with those chief homes. No, Allie, are you there? I'm here, I'm here. Okay. Can you describe that for us? Of course. Well, I worked in the corporate world for a long time, and then about a year ago, I started taking care of my kids and family full-time. So I needed an official title, right? You're still working hard. Is you still wearing power suits while you're doing dishes and the dishes? I definitely just did a power stance before I called. Okay, cool. Make a joke about power stances. This is where you make a joke. Power stances. So last year. Sorry. I thought it was just me. Sorry. You had to send me out of the room. Go get out! Okay. Get out. She's going without a hook. Sorry, and Allie, I am hoping you know how this is played because I don't. You have 30 seconds to answer as many questions as possible. If you don't know one, just say pass. You ready? I'm ready. How much you win? And you win if you get more right than Brooke. Yeah! All right! Are you ready? I'm ready. Okay, here we go. Your time starts now. Today is April Fool's Day. For one point, make a donkey noise. He-yawn! If you're driving 60 miles per hour, how long will it take you to drive 60 miles? Um. Um. Pass. Okay, which one of these does a starfish have? Brains, stomach, or a heart? Does or does not? Does. Um, has heart. Okay, in the movie The Lion King, Pumba's a warthog. What animal is Timon? Timon is a lemur. All right. Good job. Um, oh, Brooke. Oh, you can come back. Brooke. Brooke's here. Okay. So, I-today's so nervous, Allie. Today is April Fool's Day, and I heard you and your husband have a little prank you do. What's funny about that? Can you explain the prank? Do you want to tell us about it? So I got to give my husband credit for this, but he brings out the tray of brownies, and they get passed out. The kids go take a big bite, and they were actually sponges covered in a layer of brownie and they go take a big bite, and they were actually sponges covered in frosting. I thought it was going to be- my son brought me home brownies last year, and it was just bees cut out out of brown paper. Oh, only bees. Ease cut out of brown paper. Oh, brownies. You're losing me on the joke. That's pretty good. One brownie, zero for Brooke. Okay. Brooke, it's your turn. It is my turn. Are you ready? Okay, your time starts now. Today is April Fool's Day. For one point, make a donkey noise. Hey, huh. If you're driving 60 miles per hour, how long will it take you to drive 60 miles? One hour. Which of these does a starfish have? Brains, stomach, or a heart? Uh, does they have? Yes. Uh, stomach. Okay, in the movie The Lion King, Pumbas a Warthog, what animal is Timon? Ooh, oh man, he's one of those little guys, Meerkat. There are three colors on the American flag. How many on the Japanese one? Two. Okay. Uh, now, oh yes, we are going to find out how you guys did at the scoreboard with Jose. I'm tired. I'm wasted. I love you, darling. Come on, Yos. Allie, you got one correct today. Good job. What? Allie. Look, you got five correct. Oh, wow. Allie, I wish I could say that was a joke, but it's true. Brooke did get five. Sorry. But now we will go over the answers that I am reading. I forgot about this part. Donkey noise. Good job, everybody. It was a sick donkey. Yeah, Brooke. It was a sick donkey. Say what kind of donkey. All right, if you're driving 60 miles per hour, how long will it take you to drive 60 miles? One hour. Allie, you didn't get that right. I just, I totally panic. Oh, well, not sorry. I can hear it. It's okay. It's my first time here. Which one of these does a starfish have? That's a stomach. Oh, no brain. In the movie The Lion King, Pumbas a Warthog, and Timon is a meerkat. And there are three colors in the American flag and two on the Japanese flag. Do you know which ones? Red and white. Red and blue. Ready, go, Alexis. Allie, I'm sorry about the loss, but the good news is just for playing you won a pair of tickets to see Charlie Puth perform at Wa Muthier. Why are you yelling? I'm so stressed. I'm so stressed. I'm so stressed. You got anything to say, Allie? You probably should talk, because you need to say the same thing. It sounds great. What is it? Sunday, Mather. She said that. She said that when it was hard to hear. Oh, Allie, I'm so sorry. Through her getting up at this. No, all good. That was fun. Thank you guys. Wow. Wow. I don't know how to end this. It's done for today. We'll be back another time. Yeah. Thank you. Same time tomorrow. That's it. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
