Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
So Brook and Jeffrey in the morning. And normally, when
people set up their friends or family members for one
of these prank calls, they usually tell us about a
weird pet peeve that they have, or a place that
they work, something they ordered that hasn't arrived yet. But
in this one, we really didn't have much to go
off of. All we got was the name of a

(00:20):
woman's Spotify playlist that she shares with her friend. Okay,
so we decided to use her playlist for evil in
your phone tap right now? Hello? Hi? Is this Marla? Yeah?
This is This is Detective Mark Sharp. I'm with the

(00:43):
County Digital Crimes Unit. How can I help you? So?
I spoke with your supervisor Eric over at this morning, okay,
and he confirmed your work schedule and forwarded me your number. Okay.
What is this in reference to? There was a bank
robbery downtown last Friday? Oh okay, you're You're not in trouble.

(01:10):
I want to be very clear about that. But we
did recover a piece of evidence connected to you, connected
to me. Yes, a Bluetooth speaker was left at the scene.
I don't have a bluetooth speaker. Well man, let me
let me finish please. The speaker was still connected to
a streaming account that was traced back to your name. What.

(01:34):
We believe your Spotify Music account was compromised and used
by the suspect as motivation. Are you following me? No?
Not not really, I don't I don't know what do
you mean motivation? The playlist being streamed at the exact
time of the robbery was titled Hot Girl Energy Volume six.

(01:56):
Oh my god, Oh my god, that's that's my playlist
I know. And we believe the robbery was timed to
your beat drops. What specifically, when the bass drops on
boss By, that's when the suspect leapt over the counter.
Oh my god, this is insane. Yeah, we timed it
with the surveillance tape. It was impressive. Are you kidding?

(02:16):
Very suspicious. I have never heard anything like this before, right,
so you understand you might not have robbed that bank,
but your vibe absolutely did. I'm speechless right now. This
can't even be real. It is real, and Spotify may
have to flag your account as a Class two digital

(02:36):
hype risk. What this is insane? First of all, I
use this all the time, So what does that mean?
Does that mean that I can't use my own playlist anymore.
I don't even understand what you're coming man. Just relax,
just calm down. But it's totally freaking me out because
you're telling me that I'm involved in this criminal activity somehow.
Let me explain you are not involved your playlist? Is

(02:56):
that means your playlist will have to be confiscated, No,
then deleted from your account and put you don't know, No, No,
I can't have that happen. I use it every day.
I'm sorry, man, this is just the law. I've never
heard of anything so ridiculous before. Maybe you don't understand
the severity of this situation. Maybe I don't. Do you

(03:17):
want other banks to be robbed with Hot Girl energy?
Of course not, But I would like to be able
to use my hot girl energy. But people are using
it to do bad things. But I've never used it
to do bad things. I use it to do good things.
I use it for motivation every single day. I mean,
this is like my likelihood, mam. Now you're being a
little bit sensational with it. I'm not. I'm really not.

(03:39):
You don't understand. I just can I just maybe change
my password or something? I really don't want to deleted.
It's already being booked into evidence. Oh my gosh, I mean,
can I open another account? I just I don't. The
one thing that you can do is follow the radio
show Brooke and Jeffrey on Spotify. They're the ones who
do all sorts of weird segments like prank phone calls

(04:00):
similar to this one that we're doing on you right now.
I don't. I don't understand. Are you telling me I
can't use my account? I'm telling you that I'm not
a detective named Mark Sharp. My name is jeff from
the radio show Brook and Jeffrey in the morning. We're
doing a phone tap on you. No way. Yeah, it's
a joke. Your friend Sue set you up for it.

(04:23):
Oh I'm gonna kill her. Oh god. She told us
that you two shared the same playlist whenever you go
to hot yoga together, so she wanted us to prank
you for your birthday. You don't even know. It's like
my theme songs, all my life theme songs. Yes, it's
your theme song. When you want to rob places, I
understand them, and it's a problem. I didn't rob anybody. Okay,
they borrowed your vibe in order to tell that is

(04:44):
not acceptable. Nobody can use my vibe. Don't wake up
every morning was phone taps weekday mornings on the twenties,
Freaking Jeffrey in the morning.
