Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's not fun. But breakups happen. We don't create them.
That's just a fact of dating. Couples get together and
then they split up for whatever reason. And when it happens,
you can either do it the rude, insensitive way, or
you could do it the Brook way. Wait, that's why

(00:22):
we created this brand new segment called Brook breaks You Up.
This was a joke. It's augment.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Prap me for this. I did not not coming into
the right headspace.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Brook is a little hesitant and scared right now because
we did bring it up originally as a joke. But
people text it in the seven eighty five nine to
two saying they actually could use some help ditching their
current significant other. And that's that's kind of cool to
be able to help people pressure Brook. I will say,
I hate.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
When people stay in relationships when they know they're not
supposed to, just for the sake of not being able
to end it.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Okay, you know, well, we're not talking about your marriage
right now. We're talking about other relationships. Calling Michael, people
split up. It's a fact. We can't stop that from happening.
And the thing is, you said the other day that
you've broken up sixty five percent of the relationships that
you've been in, forty five percent have broken up with you.

(01:23):
That math doesn't exactly add up, but it's fine. You
have experience. I do have a lot of experience. Now.
I know you're probably nervous about doing this, especially because
we blindsided you. Yes, your first one. Though, it's gonna
be really easy. You'll just be calling a seventy two
year old female who's been married for over forty five years.

(01:45):
She did not see this coming.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Okay. I don't want to do any marriages.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Okay, it's not a married couple. These are much more
basic relationships that haven't gotten that serious.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
Brook.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
And so today, Brooke, you're going to be calling a
twenty six year old male named Paul.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
Oh I can easily dump Paul.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Well, hold on, yeah, you have some details more specific
about the relationship. Tell us about Paul.

Speaker 5 (02:11):
Okay, So, Paul has been seeing his girlfriend Stephanie for
about a year now, okay, Okay, they met at a
yogurt shop. Not sure if that helps you.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
The movie is Incredibles too, Okay. I could think should
be taking notes.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Of Oh, they believe in Happily Ever after Disney.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Fastened, Well, it means he's a family guy. Okay, this
one is important.

Speaker 5 (02:31):
They do not live together.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Okay, that's good.

Speaker 5 (02:33):
Don't live together, But the girlfriend says she wants to
cut him loose before their one year anniversary.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Makes sense. I mean that's kind of a good time. Yeah,
it's like the six month to eight month the one year.

Speaker 5 (02:44):
She just says she feels like the relationships run its course.
Time to try something new. Except he probably isn't going
to see it coming at all.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
Oh okay, yeah, that last sentence I didn't like.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Well, yeah, in fact, it's good information to know, good
for you to work with.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
And nobody's been mean to each other in this relationship,
so that's good.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
So we don't really have a lot of time for
a whole lot else here, So we just have to
make the call.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Does he know why we're calling?

Speaker 1 (03:11):
He does not know. This is totally blind coming in.
You're just gonna have to do this. And once we
get on the phone, our producer's expectation is you do
it within thirty seconds. Oh my god, don't drag it
out forever like my intros. Usually it is time.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
Forget his name.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
His name is Paul Paul Jury. It is time for
Brook breaks you up. Hi, here we go. Let's call
Paul dialing right now.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Hi, Paul.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
This is Brooke from a radio show called Brook and
Jeffrey in the Morning, and I'm calling because your girlfriend,
Stephanie reached out to us.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
What.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
Yeah, you know, Stephanie.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
What's going on?

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Well, Paul, are you sitting down because I have some
like good news bad news.

Speaker 4 (04:20):
I'm gonna work. What's going on?

Speaker 3 (04:24):
Okay, Paul?

Speaker 2 (04:27):
The good news is you are a great guy who
is gonna have so many options in this life.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
And your girlfriend really respects you. That's why she wants.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
To let you know before you hit the one year
mark that she thinks that the relationship isn't gonna work.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
That's the bad news.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Wait, I'm really sorry.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Paul, but Stephanie is breaking up with you.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
I'm what, do you even know? What is I don't
really understand what what is that?

Speaker 2 (05:07):
I know, I know it's all so weird, so sudden.
It's just that she didn't know how to say it.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
Are you serious? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (05:14):
This isn't going well. Talk about incredibles too.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
I mean, Paul, look at all the things that you
bring to the table.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Like, like seriously though, like you're a guy who loves
Incredibles too.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
She told us about which is rad.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
Yeah, but we both loved Incredibles too.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
I don't think she likes it anymore, Paul.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
I think that it's just we know that you told
me to.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
Relationships are like a cup of yogurt, they melt.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
No, I'm not saying that so dumb.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
I'm used why she would have a stranger to this.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
I mean tell you something.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
I don't mean to bash Stephanie because I think it's
probably because she's not a very strong person and couldn't
do it.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
On her own.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
I know.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
But here's the thing, like, like you want to kind
of like not like.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Her right now after a breakup, you know, like it's okay,
Like you can be mad mad at.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Broke right now, It's okay.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
I don't know you.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah, it's a nice guy. It's actually part of a
segment that we're doing called Brooke Breaks.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
You Up, which makes it sound real heartless.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
It's not not heartless, honestly, Like, Paul, you are going
to be fine.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
This is shocking. You need to process.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
Okay, Well, thanks for the horrible nude.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
You got to thank you. It's good for to sleep
with him to make him feel I'm actually really sorry.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Okay, you need.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Any cheering up, listen to our show Brook and Jeffery
Positive Association with Us forever. Okay, sorry, I have a
good day, but bye, but hang up. We're at a
time that breaks you up.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
Oh my god, I don't know if I did a
good Joe was really good.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
It felt good on my.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
I think it was a cheering in the back.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
The text in seventy five nine too. If you want
Brooke to do someone dirty for you dirty, you'll do
them however you want him to do. That's Brook breaks
you up. It's Brook and Jeffrey in the morning. It's
Brook and Jeffrey in the morning. And if you were
just listening a few minutes ago, you heard Brooke breaks

(07:27):
you up and you're not gonna believe this Brook, but
no shot. We're getting mixed feedback on the text board.
It's seven eight, five, nine to two about the segment.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
I thought that the new ex boyfriend was going to
be on the line already for.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
Update or something.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah, the textboard is kind of mixed, not fully loving
what you did there. One person saying once that I
always liked Brook until I heard her cruel delivery to
an unsuspecting man. Now I've lost respect for her. That's
from your daughter, Norah.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
No, I'm not for sure it's going to be from
an ex boyfriend.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
You got to be impressed with her vocabulary. That's pretty good. Well,
we did have another text come in that may help
he deem the train wreck that you caused for us here.
It's from a man named Harrison, and he said, if
Brooke can break people up, does that mean she can
also get people back together? Because I could use her

(08:28):
for that.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Sweet, I mean call the breakup because it's broken, so
I'm not sure if it's ever good to go back
to your relationship.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
Well, I don't like that you said that, Brooke, because
our producer already reached out to Harrison, and what do
you know, he's on the line right now.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
I didn't Harrison.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
I can't wait to fix your life.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Welcome to Brooke gets you back together. Brook is going
to fix your relationship, and that is guarantee. Girl can
take any failed relationship and forcefully mend it back together
with love and care. Brook. You're the perfect person for this.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
Oh, You're gonna make me cry today, it's too much.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
You're doing a good deed theoretically. In this scenario, Harrison
tell us about your ex and why you miss her
so much and why you want Brooke to get her
back for you.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
Okay, so I'm gonna be honest with you. Guys, like
it's kind of dumb.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
Oh we like that.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Yeah, look, I really love you, know, I really love
April and everything. But you guys, know how couples get
sometimes you end up arguing over some dumb stuff. We've
been together for a long time, but we.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
Ended up having a big argument.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
Okay, how long were you together.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
We've been together. I think it's probably about three years now.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
Okay, Well and when did you break up?

Speaker 4 (10:01):
Probably about a week ago.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
What was what was the cause of the breakup if
you could like boil it down to something simple. We
ended up having an argument about when to put the
trash out, specifically the recycling.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
Okay, so you guys lived together.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
So one of you is like night before and the
other one's like no, because then people can go through it.
We gotta do the morning.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
That is exactly it, not like yeah because I say
we put.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
It out the night.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
We're not going to have the argument again. We don't
need to get.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Into It is good to know where he stands. He
stands on put it out the night before. She's the day.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Listen, if we're trying to get these people back together,
you do not bring up again.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Yes, Brooke, you know I fully trust you, just like
the person trusted you last time, who you totally failed
in the last segment. Okay, so you very good endorsement.
Well I'm saying I'm on your side and I believe
in your abilities here. So Harrison, you're broken up. What's
happened since then?

Speaker 4 (11:05):
So I'm still here? But she left to her sisters
and that was probably last Tuesday.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
Okay, have you apologized yet?

Speaker 1 (11:15):
I mean, maybe I could do a better one. No,
why should you apologize when Brooke is going to do
it for you?

Speaker 3 (11:21):
Ye, this for him.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
We've branded this segment Brooke gets you back together. We can't.
You can't go back and change it now three times.
It's too late. I'm serious. It's set in stone, and
considering our time constrictions, we need to call April right now. Harrison,
are you good?

Speaker 4 (11:40):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (11:40):
I am?

Speaker 1 (11:41):
And hey, Brooke, you can do this.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
I believe in you.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
Yeah, I don't know anything about you, Like, what does
she love about you?

Speaker 1 (11:48):
I don't know how to like you? Said, details aren't
important in a relationship, so let's focus trash argument. Just yes, exactly,
it's like any relationship. Just do Harrison a solid and
bring them back together. That is guarantee. Here we go. Right,

(12:11):
you got it, Brooke, right, Harrison, Now you just wait silently,
don't say anything until you hear the magic happen. Brook
has taken over from here. I'm dialing April right now here.
It goes hold on, it's ringing.

Speaker 4 (12:31):

So I'm calling to let you know that your boyfriend.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Harrison reached out to our show because no, no, because
he's missing you. And he's super apologetic and he takes
full responsibility over the dumb recycling argument.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
It was totally his fault.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
I mean, I don't care, he's like stupid Okay, Well,
I mean that's the problem about you know, that's the
problem with being with.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
A man with a man with a man. I'm nervous,
but overall he's a good guy.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Okay, so you're one of those women who likes to
apologize for a man and make excuses for him.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
I really hate hearing that what you did, though, I am.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
But you know, he's just desperate to get back in
touch with you because you mean so much to him.

Okay, girl, the girl right now, woman to woman. Isn't
he worth just one more chance? You don't want to
