Speaker 1 (00:00):
Little known fact, and you should try this while driving
on your way to work. If you press the accelerator
and the break at the same time, your car takes
a screenshot. Oh, I want to see the photo of
your faces while listening to this segment What's on your mind?
So press those both at the same time and send
(00:21):
that photo over to us.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Ironic. You're going to want to dah recording when you
hit the yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
But let's get it started with brook Brook what's on
your mind?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Oh my god, I discovered the ultimate life hack.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Oh feel happy about.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
It, big promise.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
My kids have.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Entered their sleepover era. We'll call okay, so we have fun. Yeah,
so fun.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
We host kids, the kids go to their best friend's houses.
And it dawned on me this weekend that if I
schedule it write, I can get both kids out of
the house at the same time. Oh wabing a whole night,
a whole date night.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Oh my god, you.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Actually want to be away from your children? Oh god, everyone,
this is so unlike your normal messaging.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
It was so dreamy.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
Older had a sleepover his best friend, and then Norah
was that her best friend.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
And then I went home and I'm like, oh, my god, you.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Can decide what to eat and we.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Don't even have to pay anyone for taking our children.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Wow, I mean feel guilty?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
You like, can they stay? They're a week? How about
a whole month?
Speaker 5 (01:32):
I was so grateful that I thought about bringing wine
over as a thank you, But then I thought maybe
I don't bring wine because that's kind of sending the
wrong message. So I just found a hack for free
babies and takes a village people.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
You get ready, Nora and Adler. You're not sleeping over
at your own house, Jose, what's on your mind?
Speaker 6 (01:58):
Well, last week I told you guys about this new
massage parlor I've been going.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
To experience since I have a year long membership here.
Speaker 6 (02:06):
Then I can't get I had to request a new messuse.
So the day of they send me a text before
I get there and it says, you're hot stones for
my hot stone massage are broken. I don't break stones,
That's my exact question. I'm like, how do you break stones?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
They're earth stones.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
They usually just put them in like a slow cooker.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
I mean, honestly, look, it's not a big deal.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
I'm confused because I'm like, okay, but whatever, I go
in the new messuse walks in.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
She says, I have good news.
Speaker 6 (02:41):
They shaved down the stones so they can be smooth
and they can use them now.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
You can't get a refund here.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah, this is an addition to a regular massage. You
pay extra for the stones.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
She says.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Look the heater, it heats up one rock really.
Speaker 6 (02:57):
Good, and the rest of them don't get So she
starts to massage me with tiny rocks pebbles on my back,
and one of them is piping hot, like I.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Can feel the one and then the other one. So
imagine a.
Speaker 6 (03:13):
Bunch of small pebbles scratching my back.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Okay, it sounds nice.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Hot skipping stone massage is what I'm calling.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (03:21):
And then after that she's like, well, I'm so glad
we were able to adjust and take care of you.
Like me too, as I have like tiny little bird marks.
So I'm excited to know what's gonna happen next month,
me too.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
What's on your mind?
Speaker 4 (03:35):
So we have a technical director on our show that
people don't know, but he's in the room I'm looking
on right now. It's Ashton. Okay, and I've noticed something
these past few months.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Okay, every day. Ashton likes to.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Comment on someone's appearance in the room, you know, spread hammering.
The other day, I got that I looked like an
Amish swim.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Coach because I had my hair and braid.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
He told Baroke looks like a cat pup on her sweater.
One day he asked, who let me leave my house
wearing black and brown? Today he walked in and told
Brooke he made fun of her wearing a Canadian tuxedo
while he was also in a.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Canadian but he could pull it off.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I say that was as a compliment somehow. The week
before he called me the nutty professor.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
It's different after.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
And that's why I want to say, Ashton, if you're
going to.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Roast us, I want it to be better.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Okay, step it up.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
He's going to do it.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Make it good, you know. So I'm gonna give you
one chance, right now, Ashton, to roast my outfit. Okay,
get your five seconds. Okay, your time is running out.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
He's not tall enough to see over the computer to
see these monitors are very wide.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Uh honestly, whatever, Okay, my prime example. You need to
work on it.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
You want you want to get roasted better?
Speaker 3 (04:56):
If you're going to do it. Yeah, I get you.
I get you, all right, Jeff, what's on your mind?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Well? I came to a realization recently that life is
not supposed to be fun and happy.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Whoa.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
If you're happy, if you're having a good time, you
aren't actually living.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
I'm glad you've led with this because I have just
felt so good the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Hard for me.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Yeah, you are not living for real. That's why I
was out in my yard over the weekend raking leaves
for five straight hours, never raked before, and it's just
as miserable as you would imagine it would be. Yeah, dude,
you're organizing leaves into a corner and then mid rak.
My neighbor pops over and this after like four hours
(05:37):
of work, and he's like, hey, what are you doing?
And I'm just like, oh, you know, I'm just taking
care of business.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yeah, yeah, I did.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
He offer to give you a leaf blower.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
He's like, please, don't do that, don't don't rape, And
then he showed me on his phone an article from
the county encouraging residents not to rake their leaves. It's
because the breaking just erupts the life cycle of the leaves.
It's bad for insects. That actually causes more greenhouse gas
emissions if you rake.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Because of the pile and burn the pile.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Or you donate it to a dump where the greenhouse
gases are much worse. So I find myself apologizing now
to a random man for raking my own lawn for hours.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Neighbors aren't a random person before this time. Still your neighbor,
and I had already.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Raked the lawn, so I had to after that go
back and put leaves back, scatter them all over my yard. Yeah, man,
And that's how I knew life is meant to be
absolutely miserable.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
You might as well spray water on your driveway now
in it.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Yeah, just make it a total unlivable hell hole.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Text in seven, eight, five, nine to two, How are
you miserable? Tell us what's on yours? It's brooken Jeffrey
in the morning.
