Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning time for your
prank phone call. And the thought behind doing these is
you want to make the person you're calling either angry
or frustrated or confused. But lately we've been doing a
few where they're just an innocent bystander to a weird
interaction that they're being forced to listen to on the

different than the real ones. But if she's not, For example,
just this morning, she got all over me because I
forgot to plug her in, so she missed her three
am software update.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
I don't need to know.

Speaker 1 (03:44):

her feelings lag. Like, can you believe that?

Speaker 3 (03:51):
I can't believe it.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Right, I mean, she's the lucky one. She's not even
grateful at all.

Hey, snuggle bot, please listen. I come on, I'm so sorry.
Can you like make up tonight and like we watch
like Netflix? I can order in some Chinese.

I don't want Chinese or Netflix.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
I hear you, Yes, whatever you want.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
That's not what you said last night. You told me
to say your name over and over and call you
my hard drive daddy.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
All right, it was just between you and me.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
I'm sorry, this is inappropriate. I feel like I'm listening
to stuff I shouldn't be.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
I want you to tell the auto repair guy that
this is a prank phone call, and we were trying
to make him uncomfortable on purpose.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
What I really think that's a good idea.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
What is going on?

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Okay, I think he's getting it.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Yeah, I think he might be getting it that I
don't really have an ai girlfriend. This is actually a
prank phone call and you're on a radio show called
Brook and Jeffrey in the morning. Man, I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Oh okay, oh okay, thank god, Oh my god.

That was a little weird.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
Right, and did weird doesn't even begin to describe I know.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
And to make it better, it is actually your brother
Norman's idea because he sets you up the bus, right,
that was clever. He wanted to celebrate your birthday because
he said it's coming up in a few days, so
he told us to have some fun with you.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
Oh, good job, good job, dude.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
Actually, I'm sorry. I think my girlfriend wants to talk
to you. What'd you want to say, dabe?

Speaker 2 (05:42):
What made you so uncomfortable? Is it the fact that
he always wants to be romantic and I have to
fake having a microprocessor? Migraine, that's an overshare? Oh my god,
wake up every morning with taps weekday mornings on the twenties,
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning,
