Thank you so much for being here. I know we get listeners from all over the states, all over the world, which is so cool. We're going to go over some wedding trends today. And I always love to get Alexis's take because you're always in five weddings at least a summer. Yeah, what's what's the plan this summer? Two of them are alone. This year. I already went to one this year and I think I have four more. I think it's five actually. You're so right. So wild. Yeah, you know. She gets jealous every time she sees an invite on your desk. Oh, another one. Oh, cool. Where's this one? Mexico, fun. Next time you see invite, can you just buy a gift and send it to them for me? Brick, I kind of rang out on money. I already went through that. All my friends got married. Ah, that's right. Some divorce and I've already been to second wedding. So, we're good. Yeah. Okay, wait, before we get to this full show, what do we got on the comments? Speaking of worldwide and Spanish, Luis said, I'm a fluent Spanish speaker and I got to say, Jeff did pretty good speaking Spanish. If you guys want a Spanish spin-off, me and Jeff can get it going. There you go. I think it's all because of his second mother, Lucy. Yeah, it is. You know, nanny. Yeah, he was raised by Spanish speakers. Yeah, by his nanny. And I like the idea of a spin-off Spanish that we have. Yeah, and I know part of it. That's hilarious. All right, here we go. Your full hour starts right now. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and you guys know we do Hero of the Week here. I love it. It's been a really popular segment amongst the Jen Zelenials. Oh, I like that title. Jen Zelenials and that one drunk lady. But it got us thinking, how can we spin off that success? And I figured it out with our Criminal of the Week. Sometimes it's also the Hero of the Week. Yeah, I mean, usually the same. But today's Cal, Criminal of the Week, is a 17-year-old kid in Utah, who's been going around to different ATMs in his area, duck-taping fish to the ATM screen. Oh my gosh. No. He goes by the moniker, The Fish Bandit. Okay, why? How fresh are these? Can I take it home and fry it? I don't think so. Wouldn't recommend it. But his tagline is, live, laugh, tape fish on ATMs. Put that sign up in your living room. So if he has a tagline, he does a 17-year-old criminal, you're saying all of this is on social media. That's right. He's got 57,000 followers actually on Instagram, because he's uploading all the footage onto there. And officials say he's duck-tape at least 13 fish to 13 different ATMs since last fall. This is what happens when kids can't rebel drinking or anything, you know, they go with fish. He has also posted videos around the holidays where he duck-tapes them to the side of parked police cruisers. That's a lot of fish. Back the man. Where are they coming from? It looks like a lake trout, so I'm guessing he's... He catches them himself, for sure. It feels like it. So big congrats to The Fish Bandit for being our first ever criminal of the Week. Man. I hope we make a social media feed. I hope he hits our place soon. I can't wait. Now let's get into the shock-colored question of the day with our criminal of the year, Digital Jake for stealing everybody's hearts. Take it away, Jake. Include our hearts. Go ahead. Well, it's not easy to leave your entire life behind, destroy your belongings, change your identity, and vanish forever. Okay. Trust me, after cleaning up some of the stunts on this show, I've tried many times to. But what's the next best thing to going completely off the grid? I don't know. What? Why taking a nice vacation, of course. Oh, okay. Rarely off the grid. And just as important as getting away is figuring out your perfect destination and how do you choose the best ones? Oh, yeah. Or do you want like I do and just rotate the two or three? Just spin the globe and let whatever your finger points. Dude, that'd be amazing. I know how we're going to do it. We're going to play a game where we identify the top 20 most popular vacay spots in America during another round of. Oh, in America. Plenty of 20. Hey, let's go. I have a question. Oh, hang on a second. I'll take a second. I'll explain more. And you guys know this sound. That's if you guessed the number one answer, but today's it's different. If you guess a particular place from this list, you'll get a special hint for your next guest written on a piece of paper only for your eyes to see. That's good. Jose, I can answer your question now. Are some of these going to be cities and some like actual all of these are cities? Oh, they're all cities. Okay. You say cities. Thank you. That helps. Because I wrote down a couple of things. We drew out of a hat again and the honors go to Jose. So, Jose, you have the first guess. I'm the teacher's pet. I ask the questions on sitting in front and I go first. I'm going to say because of the restaurants and just the melting pot that it is, I got to go to New York first. New York City. That's the choice. Yeah. That's number one on the list, but not the Silver Save city today. I remember how we're playing. So, Jose, you're safe, but you don't have the Silver Save yet. We're on to Alexis now. Where I would kill to be right now is Vegas. Las Vegas, number three on the list. It's actually okay to kill in Vegas, so you should go there. Everybody gets one. It's Brooks turn. Okay, I'm going to go with one of Jose's favorite spots, Honolulu. Hawaii, Brooke is actually many places on the list. Okay. So, that's taking away Maui, number two, Oahu, number six, Hawaii, the big island, number seven, Kauai, number 10. So, all of Hawaii is now off the list because Brooks said Honolulu. Okay. So, now it's Jeffrey's turn. You know where I hear a lot of people like to go on like retreats and spa trips to like heal themselves and get away and reset is Sedona, Arizona. Sedona, Arizona is number 12 on the list of most popular vacay spots. Everyone's done really well so far. We're going to go back to Jose. So, just like my New York answer, melting pot, lots of food. If I lived there, I'd love it Los Angeles. Los Angeles did not make the vacation spot list. I'm so sorry, Jose. Trust me, do not go back to my hometown. Jeffrey's been writing a lot of negative reviews about his hometown. That's probably why it didn't make the top 20. I'm sorry, Jose's out. We're back to Alexis. I'm going Disney World Orlando, Florida. There it is, Alexis. You've picked our super safe city, Orlando, Florida's number 14 on the list and you've earned a little hint that you can use towards your next guest. I'm going to pass it to you right now. Yay. Wow. We're back to Brooke. Okay. Okay. I'm going to go with one of my favorite spots to visit, Palm Springs. Ooh. Palm Springs did not make the top 20. How dare you. It's just a bunch of old people that are playing on the clip. No, it's not. It is not. You need to go. Trust me. Let's go over to Jeffrey. I remember my family would always take me to the furniture capital of the world, Asheville, North Carolina. What? Oh, I heard it's really cute there, actually. Yep, it's really cute little city. We go and sit on well-crafted bar stools inside of giant furniture stores and just live in Asheville, North Carolina, Jake. Asheville, North Carolina, the home of some great wooden chairs is number 17 on the list. Wow. The heck is a five-hive. Well-known for their ash chairs. That's right. It's Alexis' turn. Okay, because of my hint, I'm going to say Fort Lauderdale. What? Fort Lauderdale. What was the hint? The hint. Not in the top 20. I'm sorry, Alexis. Jeffrey, you're the only person that didn't get one wrong. Let me go over the rest of the top 20 vacation spots. One's that you guys missed. Number four, New Orleans, Louisiana. Number five, it was connected to the hint, was Key West, Florida. Key West. Yeah, Key West, Florida, Key East. San Diego, California, number eight. Savannah, Georgia, number nine. Oh, beautiful. The home of Bachelorette and Bachelorette parties, Nashville, Tennessee. Oh, it almost said that instead of Palm Springs. Our beloved Charleston, South Carolina. Chicago, number 15. Branson, Missouri, Washington, DC, and Austin, Texas was number 20. And the hint didn't even make it for Disney. No, but that was plenty of 20. All right. Well, I got the most answers right, so I get to choose who's going to get shocked today. And I'm going to go with someone who can't name more than three cities in Florida. Alexis, she's going to be shocked while singing Vacation by the Gogo's. What? OK. Vacation all I ever wanted. Vacation had to get away. Vacation meant to be spent all alone. Oh, gosh. Vacation all I ever wanted. The rug rats would be so disappointed with you. Oh, my God. That is your shock collar question of the day. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. At least half of our listeners are driving buzzed right now. Uh-oh. No. Don't do that. It's broken, Jeffrey, in the morning. No, stripes over, please. No, I say that because a lawyer in Fort Worth, Texas, is making news today because he just put up a video warning people, you can get a DUI from drinking too much coffee. Oh, wait. Buzz from caffeine? Yeah. I'm nervous now. Brooke, I know what you're thinking. What does a lawyer know about laws? Yeah. You shouldn't trust every lawyer, Jeff. Anybody can be a lawyer. I would probably trust a lawyer more on the law than a non-lawyer. Yes, Jeff's also right. How do you get a DUI? Because according to the law, DUIs and DWIs don't just refer to overindulging in booze or illicit drugs. If you overdo it with legal drugs, like caffeine or even ibuprofen, that can also get you in trouble. Ibuprofen? What the heck? What? My foot hurts? There is precedence for it. It's happened before. Who's got it arrested for too much coffee? I don't know. I imagine though they ask you to do the walk-in line test and you're like sprinting instead. Is this your coffee? You do a backflip? In 2015, a guy in California got pulled over for driving erratically. They found caffeine was the only thing in his system. So he got charged with DUI for too much caffeine while driving. Hey! Wait, they're testing for caffeine now? They don't normally test for it. OK. But this guy's breath, we all have that coffee breath. Sir, I'm not even going to do the test. Get in the car. That's why they arrested him. Yeah, no. So, thank you. Jose, I know you drink a lot of coffee all throughout the day through the show. So just be careful after we're out. Hand is shaking when he's picking up his gun. Yes, you're inhaler at the same time. Oh my god. I'm not even going to drink so much. Oh no. I'm so good. Oh god, it's on the floor. OK, someone's going to need to drive Jose home today. Oh god, I took an ibuprofen like five minutes ago. Oh no. Oh, great. I got to lay down. Definitely look out on the road. Go sleep it off in the break room. Laser story is coming up right after this. It's the radio segment that's hosting a fire fest for old people called Tired Fest. Featuring the band The Who. Yes, The Who. Who what? No, The Who the band. Who's getting banned? I didn't do nothing. OK, just forget it. It's laser stories. A segment where we read weird news stories around the globe just like everyone else does except we've got a laser. Those other hover around haters just don't. At Tired Fest, the headliner performs at 9 AM. That's right. This first laser story is out of Nashville. Two dudes were driving around the other night in their 1996 Camaro. Yeah, they were. When police noticed their license plate was obscured and tried to pull them over. But the guy driving didn't stop and instead sped off. So the chase was on, but after a few minutes, the driver thought he outran them and pulled into a nearby gas station. Not to get gas, but instead to put more air in his tires. What he didn't know was that the entire time there was a spotlight on him from a police helicopter who had been following them. How did he not know? You can't hear the helicopter literally right above you? Not in that 96 Camaro, that V8 engine baby. So the original cops got the message and showed up to arrest them on the spot. Officers found a large bag of illegal drugs in the center console, as all Camaros do. Did they come with that? They also found a backpack with more drug paraphernalia. The big question is this, like what Brooke was asking, why did the driver stop to put air in his tires in the middle of a police chase? His quote, you know, driving that fast can affect gas mileage when your tires aren't properly inflated. Are you listening to that, Alexa? He's a penny painter. I thought no big deal, just top him off and I'll get back out there. He thought it was just like a pit stop at an S-car. Unfortunately for him, he never saw the helicopter and just thought the bright lights were from above the gas station. They really lit up pump sevens so well now. This next laser story is out of Party Plan in USA. If you have a son in middle school, how would you feel about him asking to have his birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese or maybe even better, Hooters? I'm going to go with a hot no on that one. He's growing up quick. At least it's a hot no for him. If you haven't been to Hooters in years, then you're not alone. They've been struggling to stay afloat. Yeah, because they're any open anymore. I think they just filed for bankruptcy again. According to reports, they're about $300 million in debt. That's not good. That's it, huh? Last year, they closed about 40 locations across the US. They're trying to attract more business by making a pivot to being more family friendly. I thought they tried this before. Sexism for everyone. They're calling it a re-hooterization, but it's more like a de-hooterization. Not a double de-hooterization? No, they're taking them off. You might not realize this, but Hooters has become increasingly family friendly over the past decade. Ann has a solid kids menu. It's cold! You want to go with the name change would be the first way to make it more family friendly. Well, it's just now you'd focus more on the nature aspect. Ah, it's more owls less food. Now they're going all in. Ownership says it's depressing to them that women would not want their families going to Hooters for special occasions. I don't get it, bro. I don't. What is wrong with us? That's what I keep saying. It's always the women's fault. They didn't say what exactly they'd be changing to make it more PG or when that's happening, but it is safe to say the skimpy outfits and the bikini nights will be phased out. Why don't they just hire dudes in Scandaly Cloud and then you have literally half-naked men and women? I don't think any of the employees want to deal with families there. Let's go to your next laser story out of Grand Slamms and Graham Cracks. Yay! Graham Cracks. The New York Yankees have made a bold culinary play this season unveiling a stadium dessert that rivals no other. What? Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the full-size Tiramisu helmet. No way! This is good. That is so much. This isn't one of those mini helmets. No, that's a full-size helmet. Oh my god. That is so much tiramisu. That's a lot of cream. We all know nothing says America's Pastime like a fancy Italian dessert in plastic sports gear. It is for the family to share. Like I could see one person holding it and everyone has spoons. Until it's a hot day at the ball game. And then it's just like cream in a bucket. It was like coffee soaked lady figures. You guys are selling it to me with everywhere, as you say. But what is it exactly? Imagine a full-sized Major League Baseball Players helmet filled with layers of espresso soaked lady fingers and mascarpone cream. Oh, man. The helmets weren't even washed either, so it's a little salty at the end. Ew. Ew, but why would you say that? It's unclear if this two-pound dessert is meant to... Two pounds. ...if it's trying to intimidate your opponents. Like you dare challenge a team that serves tiramisu at the ball park. It is so Yankees. It is very Yankees. The real question is this. Do you eat this $20 dessert with a spoon? Or do you go full New York and just tip the helmet into your mouth? I take a lasagna in a helmet. Oh, yeah. Now we're talking. That's not bad. You can cut the square. Either way, the Yankees say that if you can eat the entire thing by the seventh inning, you can repurpose and spray out the helmet for 20% off of nachos. Follow it up with nachos, huh? Ew. And if you can eat a full-tized tiramisu and nachos, you will be crowned saddest person in all of New York City. Congratulations. This next laser story is out of the study of dudes. Oh, right. Good news for zoned out men. When your wife says you don't listen enough, here's your excuse. A new study found men literally can't hear as well as women, and there's nothing you can do about it. What? Oh, wait. We're at a nature disadvantage. Scientists tested people's hearing in different countries all over the world, and they found it's true everywhere. Really? The average woman has a two-deciple advantage, and even though that doesn't seem like a lot, it's enough to make a pretty big difference. Poor man, right, Brooke? Oh, I've told you this whole segment. I feel so bad for that. Yeah, we've really been meeting. You know, I have good owners now. These guys. I didn't notice. I can't hear any. We're meeting boys. What did they say? I wasn't listening to that. You can't hear because you listened to your headphones so well. Yeah, you actually have hearing loss. Yeah, I'm proof that this is all factual. They think it might just come down to hormones or how our ears develop in the womb. Possible women's brains are better at processing sound, too. So when it comes to hearing, men might have worse ears and inferior brains. How come things that happen to stupid people keep happening to me? You said it, Jeff, not me. The study also found that regardless of gender, we all tend to hear out of our right ear a little bit better than out of our left. Now I'm trying to decide which one is first. Jeff is to my right, Brooke's to my left. It kind of makes sense. They're not sure why that is. As for what I'm hearing from this guy, that's the sound of his tiny turtle heartbeat as he presses his shell up against the side of a well-worn Lebron Series 3. Wow, there's a heartbeat, huh? You can't hear it. You're supposed to have two decibels better than me. Yeah, you're supposed to hear it. All right, I'm distracted. Oh, you're thinking about something else. That sound means laser stories has come to an end for the day. We'll do it again same time on Friday. They say dating is like eating a bad hot dog. It's all fun at first, but by the end, your shirt's a mess. You're wondering what's actually in it and why you still went through within the first I don't like this. I don't even know that you could make a bad hot dog. Yeah, well, today we've got two listeners who've been consuming bad hot dogs for years. If you catch my meaning. Oh, I get it. I know if I do. Bad dates, just to be really clear. They've done them bad dates. So let's get the deets and find out who will be crowned worst wiener queen or king. Actually, you already have that title, Jeff. I'm the wiener king. So they'll be the runner up wiener king or queen in a brand new battle of the tinder dates right after this spring is in the air and a leaves long lasting pain relief is here to keep you moving.

Take it back now, y'all, for Battle of the Tender Dates. That's not very sexy though. Slide to the left. So, some people need instructions. It's helpful. Where two of our listeners square off to find out whose love life is the most tragic. We'll explain the rules in just a second, but first let's meet today's contestants. In this corner, her number one turn on is comparing health insurance plans and asking how big his HSA is. Ew. Meet Medica Jessica. Hey, hey, how's it going? Wow. Can't wait to hear about your date. You're like, oh, we've got into deductibles. Oh man. And in the other corner, she'll kiss a guy on land, but prefers making out submerged underwater. That's why they call her Submarine Colleen. Yeah, hey guys, how are you? You're gonna make a Valkyrie man or what? Here's how the game works. One contestant will start by telling one of their worst date stories. The other one try and counter with the nightmare story of their own. We're going to go back and forth for three rounds until we declare a winner, starting it off with Medica Jessica. Let's go. Okay, so one of the weirdest dates I've ever had, he showed up to the bar, dressed exactly like me, like the same outfit from my top in my Tinder profile pic. Hold on, what were you wearing? That's kind of funny. What were you wearing in your Tinder profile pic? I was wearing a red shirt and he also wore a red shirt and told me, hey, I'm wearing this because I saw it in your photo. We were expecting flower sundress, so that's probably good. But he literally said, this is how I manifest compatibility. Best like them? It's not a bad strategy. That's kind of interesting. It didn't work. I mean, I like stayed for a little bit to be nice, but he ordered everything I said I liked from my dating profile. Oh, no. Okay. Channeling profile to like cars, yachts. That's a good point. Yeah, that's what you want. I mean, I mean, Amanda memorizes it all too. All right, Colleen, can you counter? Okay, you guys. So I was on this date with this guy and he was like a fitness guy in his profile and everything. So, you know, this is unexpected. We're at the bar and we get our first drink and he pulls out protein powder and he pours it into his drink. And his cocktail? Yeah, into the alcohol? Yeah, like it's disgusting and you know what? That's weird, but it got worse. We ordered food, he got a steak and then he asked our bartender if they could blend it for him. Why can't he chew it? After he already had his protein powder. He said that it would make his digestion smoother. I mean, it works for babies. That's good to start carrying around immersion blender. Those babies are pretty ripped too. Maybe there's something to it. Medica, Jessica, we're back to you. Okay, I had a great date with this guy. And so afterwards we go back to his place and we pull up to a nice big house and I'm like, oh, okay. But then he tells me that it's his parents home and his spot is in the backyard. Okay, okay. Yeah, sometimes there's like a little like casita or something in the back of those big houses. That's very hopeful thinking, Brooke. Oh, no. She's trying to be positive. Yeah, that's what I thought. So we go back there and it's a little shed with a candle, a bean bag and a window. I mean, that's not a shed. That's a playhouse. Exactly. We're continuing to see the optimism. You hung out though, didn't you? I mean, I didn't want to be rude, but like the worst part was that every time he needed something, he would open the window and yell to his mom. And he gets room service too. This guy sounds like his mom has it all. He's a winner. I don't know why you let him go, but submarine Colleen, you're up. So I went to an Italian restaurant with a dude and he completely freaked out on the after I ordered fettuccine Alfredo. Like he was angry? Why? Sometimes the Alfredo is really better at it. Maybe he was excited. Girl, y'all, furious. He said that it wasn't real Italian and how dare I. Oh, what? It was kind of kid's food. And it's interesting. Like I've been to Italy and I don't remember any Alfredo. It's not. It's just a Parmesan butter thing out there. It's not real. What happened? I didn't realize. So I ended up changing my order and I apologize. I was like, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. I didn't realize you were Italian. Oh, wow. Y'all, wait, but no, get this. He says, wait, no, I'm not Italian, but I've seen the Godfather like 15 times. So I consider myself an honorary Paisana. I think the threshold is 12 watches and you're basically Italian. What do you think I'm eating? 10 pounds of Gabba Goul. All right, we're on to the third and final round here. We need your best stories, ladies. So Medica, Jessica hit us with it. So I talked to a guy about how I like to paint and he planned a surprise date that would have revolved around my love of art. That's cute. That's awesome. Yeah. Until I showed up to the address he texted me, it was a kid's birthday party. And he tells me that I was going to be the featured face painter. No. Is it his kid or a random kid? No, it was just like a kid that he knew. After three hours, I only got paid a cake. Actually, for Brooke, that's an improvement. I mean, I'm going to tell you kids don't tip well. Fair point. Summary and Colleen, this is your last chance. Okay, so this is a post date, went over to his house, we're getting into bed, he takes his shirt off and my name is literally tattooed on his chest. What? Oh, I mean, oh, why? How it has to be like another girlfriend or something. Yes, he says it was his ex's name, but that's why he only selects people with her name to date. He doesn't have to get it removed. Horrifying. But that final bell means that the match is over. We have to score it. Alexis, who are you giving it to? Oh, I'm going to go Jessica. I mean, it was your choice, but you were at the guy's beanbag shed. That's one vote for Jessica. I'm sorry, I got to go Colleen for liquid steak. We're all tied up. Jose, you're the deciding vote. I think getting roped into being the featured face painter is awful. Jessica, you win. All right, Medica, Jessica. Congratulations, you're our forsaken female of the week. And as a prize, Brooke will tell you her go to children's movie to hook up to. To hook up with a man. Oh my goodness, I can't wait. Wild robot. It's great. No, there's supposed to be wild hair. Oh, God. Oh, hey for that one. It's new. All right, well, take that for what it is. Dexed in 78592 if you want to appear on the next Battle of the Tinder dates. Your phone tap's coming up right after this. We got an email from a woman who wanted us to prank her fiance. Because the two of them went to one of those big wedding expos recently. And while they were there, they entered their names into multiple contests to win free stuff. Well, the guy's about to get some incredible news that he was selected as a grand prize winner. Oh, that's great. But I don't know what he's going to think when he hears the actual prize that they got. I know Jose is going to do his best to sell it. I can promise you that in your phone tap right now. Hello? Hello? I'm looking for the luckiest guy in the world right now. Is this Seth McF***ing? Yes, it is. Who's calling? My name's Justin Cider. I'm from the wedding expo you attended two weeks ago. Yeah, yeah, I don't remember you, but I was at the expo. Yeah, I know you didn't meet me. But do you remember you and your fiance entering a contest for a free wedding? I think we entered like three or four of those. Well, pop the champagne because you did it. Congratulations, you won. Yeah, I'm sorry. No way, no way. Are you kidding me? Not at all. That's actually our staff. Have you heard of everybody in the office? So fun for you guys. Hey, let it go. Wow. I'm having a nice and a lifetime, man. This is big. You don't even know how awesome this is. Like, I have the stuff involved with this. I had no idea how we were even going to pay for it. Wow. Well, you know, it's our pleasure, man. So what we need from you is to bring your fiance, Tamara, correct? Yeah, Tamara. Okay. So you bring Tamara down to the 7-11 on 8th Street. I'm usually behind the counter there on Mondays and Tuesdays. If you come in before five. What do you mean 7-11? We're going to marry you right there in front of the Slurpee machine. It's iconic. That's like some kind of joke because I don't get it. Okay. Yeah. I know. Normally we do partner with like five star resorts and country clubs, but this year we went a little different and I actually. Okay. Well, could we do the five star resort one? And I don't want to do. When I tell you what you're in store for, you're not even going to want to think about a country club. Okay. So you're saying I have to get married in the 7-11 because I won this contest? I mean, I know you hear the word 7-11 and you think, oh, that's kind of kitschy blue collar glam, but it's really down to earth place. Perfect for a wedding. Yeah. No, I wouldn't say it's glam anything. And I think my wife would sh** her pants if she knew that's what we were going to get married. Well, hold on. I should mention the prize is valued at over $27,000. Okay. That's a nice wedding. Are you giving $27,000 to us in cash? No, no, no. We're giving that to you in discounts. Yeah. And free stuff, of course. I don't, I don't think that's going to work for us. Visualize this. It's your wedding day. Your guests arrive. They can choose between two different appetizers, the jalapeño cream cheese taquitos, mm, or the cheddar and kale stuffed hot dog bites. I can't choose. I don't even know. Is that supposed to be like a selling point? Yes. I mean, they're always on the rollers, hot, fresh, ready to go. You can just grab it whenever you want. Yeah. This is our wedding, dude. It's not like I'm coming in there after work. This is different. This is free. Can I remind you this? All of this whole experience. Yeah, just, just because something's free doesn't make it a good fit at all. This sounds absolutely. Okay. I wanted to surprise you, but I got to just let you know now. You're never going to believe who the aficion is. It's a Seth Rogen lookalike. What? Because you know, Stodars love 7-Eleven. You're just making this more difficult for me to convince Tamara. Like there's no way she would ever sign off on that. The celebrity list doesn't stop my friend. They're going to block off the whole parking lot for you to have your first dance with limp biscuit playing on the roof. I don't really know what you want me to say. Like I would go to this party. Yeah, anybody would. But at the wedding, it just, Tamara's not going to go for it. It just doesn't make sense. Well, when you tell her that your wedding cake is going to be thousands of little Debbie snack cakes, you guys can smash into each other's faces, throw a couple of ho-hos and twinkies in there too. Think of the pictures. Dude, listen, I love that. That sounds, I would, I'd be down for ho-hos and twinkies. Knew you'd love it. It just sucks that the one time you're doing this contest for a free wedding, it's out of 7-Eleven. I just. See, when I spoke with your fiance a few minutes ago, she actually told me to call you. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You talk to her already? You talk to her? Of course. She was really leaning towards yes. She even told me. Wait, what do you, what do you mean? Oh, I didn't tell you the last part of it. Surprise. You also got a free phone tap from Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Woo, you did it. Oh my gosh. I know. I knew you'd be excited. What? Guys, keep it down. I got to tell him how much of an idiot he sounds like. That was so noble. Oh, man, you really. Oh, no, what? Yeah, man, my name's actually Jose for the radio show, Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Your fiance set you up for this, man. Oh my God, I was so crushed. Oh my God. You were crushed. I didn't even tell you about tossing the big gold bouquet. That's the highlight of the whole evening, man. That won't just be real. Hold on. I want it real again. I have a feeling the more I'm talking, the more you're liking. Brooke and Jeffrey's phone taps on the 20s. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. There's so many types of relationships these days. You could be in a situation ship, a negotiation ship, and then whatever Alexis is in with the seven dudes that sees like simul smashing ship. It's kind of like a mix of all of those together. Just a boat. She seems happy. She seems happy. Just a cruise ship of good times. So it can be tricky to find someone who just wants a simple one-on-one partnership. That's exactly what our listener on the phone was looking for when he took a woman out.

Second date update. All right, let's do a hypothetical here. Ooh, I always love those. And Brooke, we're going to pretend that you're single. Okay. Is that single you? How excited she got when you said she's single. I know, she's hooked up. Are you happy finally? No, I love being married to my husband. I know. I was single for a long time. You're hanging out at the bar. Yep. You're the same age that you are right now. Oh. I don't want to say it out loud. Okay. Just keep that in mind. But again, you're single and you see a cute guy across the room. Okay. Very attractive. Do you approach him or do you try to get him to notice you so that he walks over? I've never had any tact. So I would definitely approach him. Brooke's an approacher for shy. Okay. Yeah, totally. And what do you do? What do you do? With the mo? I don't know. Is maybe buying a drink? Oh, wow. Like you don't do anything extra. You're just like, hi, I'm Brooke. I think you're cute. Can I buy you a drink? You flash a bunch of money in his face and try to win him over like that. I've told many guys at bars when I was single, you're hot. Oh, that's good. That's kind of it. We love that. No, we wouldn't. I love that. Oh, my God. Girls will finally tell you. Told you. I don't have much shame or anything. Like, well, no, not really. But it works. I'm telling you. Yeah, it works. I do think you forgot I said you're still your same age as now, but I'm going to let you get away with that one. I still say that. It may have looked more desperate at my age, but. Can I buy you an old fashioned drink? I bring it up because one of our listeners says that he got approached by not just one, but two different women. And he thinks he knows the secret on how that happened. Ow, boy. Okay. So let's talk to him. Tony, welcome to the show. Hi, how are you guys doing? We're my two twins at the bar. Is that why? She means look-alikes, not the other thing. Not the girls. Oh, I didn't make my dad. So I'm telling you, like, you were really putting it on, right? Classic look there. She's accidentally hitting on him. I know. Tony, I apologize for Brooke, but I know you went on a date recently. Who was it with? Her name's Gemma. We actually met on a dating app. Nice. I thought you said somebody approached you at the bar. You met on a dating app? Yeah. So I know, sorry, that might have been a little confusing. So we went to this Mexican spot and it had these like giant long shared table things. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, like community seating. Yeah, exactly. We're like sitting with different parties and stuff like that. And it's kind of social, you know, people are talking to each other and interacting. But I thought that I was being pretty clear to the rest of the restaurant that me and Gemma are not brother and sister. We were there on a date together. Oh, how do you, how do you be clear about that? Like t-shirts matching? This is my date. That would be brother sister. Oh, actually, yeah, that is not his work. Brother looks alike. He's like, why? Why do you assume that? Yeah, do you guys look alike? No, I don't think so. But it was more like the way we got treated, I guess, because we were, I mean, we were flirting. We were doing the whole date thing. And the two girls were kind of across from us. Okay. Like I said, it was a social thing. And Gemma at one point got up and she went to the bathroom. And during that time, these two girls came over and sat on either side of me and just kind of inserted themselves into the situation. Were they asking about your date? Like, you know, I can see like two girls that are out together. They're like, oh, look at their on a first date. Let's go mess. You know what I mean? She thinks it's going bad. Totally. I think it's going great. You let us know. Mm-hmm. Was it like that? I don't know. I don't know what it was. But when Gemma came back to the table, she kind of sat not in the seat that they were in, but a little away from me, like across from me almost. The women were still there when she came back from the bathroom. Yeah. They stayed there. And that's a bad look. They were basically just paying attention to me. They were like laughing at jokes that I was trying to say and stuff like that. So it was weird. Is it good at all that maybe she saw that they liked your vibe and she was like, oh, not at all. Not even like a tiny bit. I'm crying. It's not a thing if they're like making it a joke, right? And they're including her and it feels like a group thing, but this sounds like she was really left out. Yeah. It probably hurt. Yeah. I was trying to do everything I could to show her non-verbally that I am not interested in them. I'm trying to play footsy with her. I'm trying to engage with her and let her know like, hey, I didn't ask these girls to come over here. They just did it on their own. They've got nothing to do with me. Weird. You didn't do everything because you didn't move. Yeah. Yeah. Or ask them to move. In one time, I pretended to fall asleep during a date to get the message across that I wasn't interested. I kissed one of them and I gave her that she's a big kisser. But I'm kidding. What do you think, like in your mind, what do you think was happening there? I kind of, and I told her this too. I think the only reason that they were even interested in me to begin with was because I was out with a really attractive girl and that's the only time that that ever happened to me. That's so true. Did Gemma like that reason? Not at all. Were you able to salvage the date at all? Yeah, that's a good point. Like how long were they there? They were there for the rest of the date, but we didn't stay much longer. We awkwardly left and she wasn't really talking to me at the end and no kiss or anything. That was just kind of hugged and yeah. We know what the problem is. Did you bring it up with Gemma though about like, sorry about those two girls. Like I wasn't interested. Yeah, he told her the whole reason he thought they were doing that. After the date or during? Yeah, well the girls were right there so it was hard for me to address it at the table. I just waited till we were in the car and I apologized for their behavior and said, look, I had nothing to do with me. I'm sorry. It was weird. What did she say? Well that's good. She said she understood, but there wasn't much after that. Okay. Yeah, dang. What do you wish you would have done differently? It was a weird social situation. So I mean, I guess I should have asked for a private table, but that was kind of the whole experience of the spot was to do that with other people. Weird. I wonder, I wonder where her side is. What does she see? Well, we'll get that from her when we reach out to her, but at least next time, probably need to avoid the shared long tables. Or just accepting attention from other women. Just the sandwiching of the two women I think is probably what you need to avoid. When you're with a girl, curb other chicks, bro. Not that hard. Love lessons to be learned and hopefully we'll get some answers when we reach out to Gemma for you and come back, try to get your second date update right after this. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Second date update. One of our listeners, Tony, went out on a one-on-one date that suddenly turned into a three-on-one date. Oh boy. And the person who got excluded was Gemma, the woman that he actually came to the restaurant with. Oh, nice. Because two random girls got up and sat down right next to Tony as soon as Gemma went off to the bathroom. So when she came back to the table, she was forced to sit across from everybody else. And the whole rest of the night was kind of awkward from there. He tried to play footsies. Just to show Gemma that I'm actually interested in you. I don't really care about these two new girls. But she was kind of out of reach. I think she was a little... Yeah. And Tony... It's probably just a table leg under there. It's just happening. Yeah. Tony's thoughts on why this happened was actually pretty flattering towards Gemma, saying that she was so attractive that these other ladies must have been paying him attention, thinking, oh wow, this guy's, you know, with this gorgeous woman, he must have something pretty special. Either downstairs or upstairs. Who knows? At least that's Tony's thoughts on the situation. We need to get Gemma's thoughts and see if we can recover. Yeah. How are you feeling, Tony? A little nervous, but I get... I kind of am knowing what to expect, I think at this point. Okay. That's how you're feeling upstairs. How are you feeling downstairs? I guess he knows I'm nervous. I'm being like, yeah. Okay. Yeah. He's like, I'm trying to play footsies. Yeah. Nerves going everywhere. Have you talked to her at all since the date? No, I haven't gotten a response back from her. Okay. Left on red. We've went from three women to zero now, giving Tony attention. So hopefully... He doesn't have the option. He didn't get their numbers. Well, yeah, I don't. Oh, wait, did you? We didn't ask. Oh. No, absolutely not. Okay. Because then we wouldn't even make this call. It's like, that's not it. It's pretty clear you're asking for their numbers in front of her. Okay. Well, good luck out there. Yeah. Let's call Gemma. We'll see if she picks up and hopefully we'll figure out what's going on. Okay. All right, cool. Let's do it. Hello? Hi. We're looking to talk to Gemma. This is Gemma. Hey. Oh. Thanks for picking up Gemma. Hey Gemma. We're a radio show. We're called Broken Jeffrey in the morning. Oh, okay. Weird. Why are you calling me? What we're doing a segment called a second date update. Not sure if you're familiar with that, but we're trying to help out one of our listeners get ahold of you after you went out on a date with him recently. Got him Tony. Oh my God. Did you just gag? Is that what I heard? Are you okay? Was it like a cough or you cleared your throat? Listen, I don't know what this guy told you, but it was a very, very awkward and incredibly weird date. Okay. He actually told us something similar. Yeah. We did hear about some of the events that occurred at the Mexican place with the two girls coming sit right next to Tony at the communal table while you went off to the bathroom. Yeah, those b****. Seriously. Okay. Yeah. It's the right Gemma. I mean, honestly, that's kind of a good sign, Gemma. Because that means that you were disappointed. You know what I mean? Well, I mean, I'm just saying like you liked him. Yeah. Like because if you didn't like him, you might come back and be like, thank God. Thank you, lady. Saved me now. Yeah, that's putting a really nice spin on it, but yeah. Well, Tony says that he felt really bad about how it all went down. We're curious how you felt about the situation. Yeah, and I'm sure he did. Honestly, like at first when I came back and I was like, what? And then I saw how Tony was like clearly a little uncomfortable. So I was kind of laughing like inside. Oh, okay. Oh, that's such a relief. What do you think their intentions were? Oh, I know what their intentions were. I'm pretty sure. Tony, by the way, is a really good looking guy. And they swarmed in like locusts or whatever. I don't know. Okay. I think we're doing cicadas lately. Yeah, I thought a cicada's too. But you said that you didn't blame that on him. I don't think he invited this necessarily, but I started to get kind of irritated with these girls. These two girls. I was like, get the hint ladies. Yeah. He's with me. So Tony was so flummoxed or whatever that he didn't even notice that I called the waiter over. And I was like, try attempted to bribe the waiter. What? Do you still salsa on these girls? Did he do it? Did the waiter do it? How much money does something like that cost? I'm just curious. The waiter's probably annoyed with them too if they're this type of person. Salsa's like six dollars plus tips. I don't know, nine bucks. I waved a 20 at him and he was like, I'm sorry, I can't do that. I hope you gave that restaurant a bad review. I still don't understand that you're not blaming Tony. So why are you mad at him? Why did you go, I don't want to. I don't blame Tony in the beginning for not doing anything, but by the end this went on for so long, he should have done more. Yeah. I think he feels that way too, honestly. Here's the deal. You actually sound pretty understanding about the whole situation. You're giving Tony a little bit of leeway on it, but we can maybe fix this because I do have to let you know Tony is currently listening to this conversation on the other line waiting to talk to you. Oh my God, are you kidding me? No, no. And the other girls are there. No, they're not. That's a joke. That's a joke. I have to tell the kids. Tony. Just Alexis and I. That's the only women. Yeah. Tony, you there? Uh, yeah, I am here. That's it. That's very formal, Tony. Well, hello there. Hey, Tony. Hi. Yeah. Hi. Maybe you should say something to her. Yeah. Well, first off, I just want to apologize for what happened. I had nothing to do with them coming over. Obviously I didn't ask them, but I didn't know what to do to be honest with you. It was a weird awkward sit. Like just it was our first date. I don't know these people at all. Okay. Okay. That was that was good, Tony. You can let her respond to that. Yeah. Yeah, I get it. And I appreciate the apology, Tony, but you already apologized. You told me that on the card. I'm not hearing anything new. Okay. Come up with a better apology, Tony. Go ahead. Yeah. Well, I mean, it does kind of sound like he's still blaming the women. Like he's not like you need to own up to like your own non-action a little bit more. Are you just like a very non-confrontational person, brother? Like, no, I would consider myself a non-confrontational person. That's why it was a tough position to. Oh, he's he was intended by the way. Is that hot for you, Gemma? That's kind of a leading question. No. I mean, I don't want to guys like punching people in the face, but like you got. Yeah. A little more forceful. Balance. Yeah. Yeah. I think he was just trying to be as respectful as he could. But he was at the wrong way. Yeah. You're not a confrontational guy either. Like you get where he's coming from. What are you saying, Brooke? Trying to put me in a corner right now? He's not. How dare you? He's compensating. Did I just break Jeff? Let's not turn this into a situation with us. Gemma, clearly Tony is remorseful about what happened and how he behaved. I'm sure he's he's even told us next time he doesn't want to do communal tables. Yeah. He's like, I will reserve a table for two. So we'd like to help facilitate that second date and even pay for it if you're willing to give him another shot. What do you think, Gemma? I appreciate that offer, but I have just made a decision since this incident that I just, I don't want this to be my life going forward. I don't want to be going out and fighting off girls, draping themselves all over my date. So I've made a couple of adjustments. What does that mean? Yeah. What? I'm just kidding. Well, I'm going to date down. What? Hey. Oh. Just kidding. You're just going to date the guys that you find less attractive? What does that mean? Less competition. I'm not going to go after these like, you know, the hottest guy and the dating profile because I just don't need this kind of headache. I mean, I like you Tony, but you're just too attractive for what I'm looking for right now. I cannot deal with the conversation. I don't know if we've heard that one on the second date, the date before. Dating is so backward. This is the most ridiculous response. I was not expecting that at all. What? Man, the good guys finished that. Convince her that you're not as attractive as she thinks you are. Yeah. You have no idea Gemma, by the way. This never happens to me. Like if I'm out with my friends, no girls are approaching me. That's not a hot brat. I usually repulse women. Yeah, it's girl's fault. Something's weird about you and you like me. I swear, I'll stop brushing my teeth and washing my face. Oh, I'm the girl magnet and your friends just repelled them. Okay. So he hasn't convinced you that he's ugly enough? I've been with him in person. He's cute. He knows he's cute and he's not going to get any less cute. Well, Tony, you started with one woman on a date, landed two more and now you've ended up with zero because you're too attractive. Now that's boy math. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Well, it's like they always say, hot guys finish last. Oh, we always feel so bad for you hot guys. Yeah, poor guys. I feel like I need to stand up for my fellow nines and tens out there. Oh, you're going to put yourself in that. And I need to say stop the handsome hate. Let's use that hashtag and start a movement. Is it you think that's why we get any complaint for the radio station is just you're too good looking? All the time. Sure. That's why you're in radio. That's why I'm so happy. I'm so happy to be a seven. Yeah, I'm just cute. I'm so sorry that it didn't work out. I really am. I bet that guy is so regretting him not getting the number for the two other women. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Like he had a chance. His one shot and he blew it. Yeah. But there's always opportunities for you to meet people when you come onto this show. Email us. We'll call that person who's not calling you back and go check out all of our second date podcasts wherever you get yours at broken Jeffrey. Remember a few years ago when the hot new thing to do at weddings was come up with a cheesy custom hashtag for the bride and groom. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Hashtag best mate to soul mate. Oh, yeah. Are the last names. Yeah. Yeah. Let's combine them together. From Fox to Fox. Yeah. No Brooks. Or the year everybody was rocking bridal diapers. So the bride didn't have to struggle to go to the bathroom. What the heck? I do not remember that. That was big for a second. It wasn't a thing, Jeffrey. Well, those are all old news now.

When it comes to marriage, Brooke has always said it's never too early to start planning your second wedding. Ah! Jeffery! It's broken Jeffery in the moment. I am not going to have another wedding. It's one and done, my friend. But it's good to plan ahead just in case. Even if you're not looking to throw a wedding this year, you may have plans to attend a few as a guest. And if you are, some things might look a little different than the ones that you've gone to in years past. Okay. I say that because a team of experts came out with their predictions for the hot new wedding trends that you're going to be seeing all over the country in the upcoming year. I'm guessing they're exciting. Mason jars are finally out. Are we there yet? The first one they're calling the year of the mini. Where everything that's normally big at weddings is now going to be super tiny. That's just because of the price? Is that what we're doing? Most likely. But it's like mini flower bouquets, mini wedding gowns, bridesmaids and mini skirts. Hey, tiny gowns, mini skirts. Mini wedding cakes, mini cones of french fries with a mini flute of champagne. The mini spawn cakes are really cute. Oh, that would be. Is this only for mini brides and grooms? Yeah! Just everything needs to be as small as you can. I do think it is about cutting costs. Probably. Yeah, it's still cute. Diny things are cute. Yeah, and tell you only get a cute glass of wine. Okay, fill that boy up and make that glass big. The next one is something called experiential entertainment. Experiential? That's a fun word. So, no, experiential is what they say. So you're still going to have like your wedding band or DJ, but now a lot of couples are also hiring professional sketch artists and painters to blend in with the crowd during cocktail hour and surprise guests with little 5x7 portraits that they drew of them while they weren't watching. Wow, that's so cool. It's cute until it's not a very good artist. I am somehow, I'll tell you, I somehow got put in the TikTok marriage wedding artist algorithm at one point. Oh, in a second wedding. Yeah, I swear, but some of them are amazing. And then some of them are like, is that an insult? I don't know. There's also been a rise in hiring wedding magicians. Oh, yes. Come on. Walk around the tables doing magic tricks during dinner time. I love it. Are you a little bit of a noise? Is that a crab cake behind your ear? Yeah. Ah-ha. Wait. And you remember when we couldn't find the wedding ring during the ceremony? Check your front pocket. See, I have a feeling a wedding magician is just going to make the hottest friars made suddenly disappear. Yeah. We're talking about a list of the top new wedding trends that you're going to be seeing this year according to wedding experts. Number three is custom ice sculptures, which I know sounds lame. Those have always been around. Yeah. They're rich for rich people. But these aren't going to be your parents' boring old decorative ice sculptures of like two swans making a heart with their necks. What do you got? So this is more personal. So if like a bride and groom have a puppy or a kitten that can't be with them at the wedding, they'll hire a sculptor to make an ice replica of their fur baby and have them on display over by the sushi bar. Oh, that's so cute. Can we turn into like a luge too so you like drink? Drinking out of your dog's mouth? Number four is drone photography. That's on the rise. Oh, yeah. Now a lot of wedding photographers and videographers are offering aerial coverage as part of their standard wedding packages. Yeah. Totally. It tells you hire a guy off Craigslist and he crashes that thing right into the wedding tent. Because you definitely want to watch your Aunt Mabel grinding on Uncle Lou from 20 feet in here. Yeah. But it's mostly going to be for outdoor weddings. Yeah. Catch somebody in the bushes making out. Yeah. You're probably not going to see a whole lot of drones inside hotel ballroom weddings. That would be more exciting though. Maybe they'll maybe they will. Just crashing into everything. So loud. Number five, this one's hilarious, audio guest books. Oh, it's like remember back in the day when like you would hire a video recorder guy to come around and then you had to like say something in the video message. Yeah. Because the thing is now nobody wants their guests to write down kind messages on a notebook or on a poster anymore. Okay. I mean, I never know what to say anyways. Yeah. It's like good job. Who remembers how to write stuff with a pen now anyways. Yeah. But instead couples are having you leave a voice recording of your well wishes on an old vintage rotary phone. What? That records your message like it's a voicemail. Oh my god. What's going to be funny is like the beginning of the wedding and then the end of the wedding messages. I'm just going to sound like our loser line is what it's going to end up sounding like. That would be really funny to listen to like years later. I'd love it. Number six, I wonder what you're going to think of this. Instead of first dances. Okay. Last dances. Oh, to tell everybody to go home. Is that how you ended? No, and like instead of having like the bride and groom kick off the reception by having them take the floor first. Instead, they're going to end the wedding night with a special song and dance. Oh. Oh, so it is. Whoever lasted to the end of the night gets to see it. But apparently it's supposed to be like less nerve wracking to dance in front of people after you have already been celebrating for a few hours. You mean after all your aunts and uncles and grandma and grandpas left. Yeah. You know? And you're just grinding. More of a dirty dance at that point. Yeah. And the last hot new wedding trend that you're going to be seeing this year are permanent wedding favors. Where instead of sending your guests home with like a box of monogram chocolates, a lot of people do that or like a mini candle. Now you give them something more permanent by setting up tattoo and piercing stations at the event. Dang. Whoa. Wait, are they covering the charges because that'd be super damn. Yeah, it's all free. Do you have to get their like wedding logo tattooed on your body? I'd like to get a portrait of my grandma full back, please. This is going to take 20 hours, guys. That's going to be a lie. Can you imagine waking up the morning after a wedding and realizing? It's terrible idea. You have like a post Malone style tattoo of the bride's name now above your eyebrow. But they're also doing things where they're hiring welders that take metal bracelets and they'll weld them onto your wrist during the ceremony so they stay on forever. They're like those handcuffs? Yeah. No, it's like the forever bracelets. Just by handcuffs. Yeah. I just did it. These have no key. Oh. And they're not connected to anybody else. Oh. Yeah. Maybe if you pay extra, they can do that for you. Yeah. Those are the hot new wedding trends that are being predicted for the upcoming year. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Lynn Brooks Fox. We got a newbie on the phone to play you, Brooke. Amber, the accounting manager from Maple Valley. She says she plays in the car with her two kids normally and usually loses.

Wow. 29, almost 30. How many bones have you broken? I got some good scars, but no broken bones. Okay. Do you race? I used to when I was young, like started at five, raced for a few years, and then I got too competitive with the boys. So my mom pulled me out. So now we just trail ride. Oh, come on, mom. And what about the kids? Are they into dirt biking now? Oh yeah. My oldest started at two, my youngest started at four. Oh my god. And it's our entire life. Oh my god. So we should look at them in the X games. I'd be so nervous. I'd be like, can we wrap them in bubble wrap? I'm just so scared. I'm that mom. Wow, two years old. What's his first word? Like shred.

Let's go over the answers here. On this day in 1867, the U.S. bought Alaska for two cents an acre from Russia. That's a steal. Yeah, that is a steal. Well, Amber's the accounting manager.
