1.854 - 6.762 Brooke and Jeffrey (hosts)

We were in the car, like a rolling stone came on, and he said, there's a line in there about your mother.

0

6.802 - 8.124 Unknown

And I said, what?

0

8.765 - 14.114 Brooke and Jeffrey (hosts)

What I would do if I didn't feel like I was being accepted is choose an identity that other people can't have.

0

14.434 - 20.284 Unknown

I knew something had happened to me in the middle of the night, but I couldn't hold on to what had happened.

170.553 - 193.018 Brooke and Jeffrey (hosts)

Wait a minute. Is this the right number? It's the loser line. Come on. Just call me back. If you haven't heard the loser line before, it works like this. Let's say someone approaches you while you're out at the club and uses this charming pickup line on you. Hey, girl. Oh. I just wanted to let you know that if a jolly guy approaches you tonight and puts you in his giant bag, it's okay. Whoa.

0

193.038 - 195.44 Brooke and Jeffrey (hosts)

Because I told Stan I wanted you for Christmas.

0

197.423 - 200.526 Unknown

For sure, I thought it was going to be the jolly green giant. Yeah. Anyone else?

200.506 - 207.437 Brooke and Jeffrey (hosts)

Whatever you do, don't kick him in the sugar plums. Instead, ask him if he wants to share a candy cane sometime.

207.858 - 209.761 Unknown

One stick, two licks.

210.222 - 238.894 Brooke and Jeffrey (hosts)

And hopefully he leaves an awkward voicemail that we can play on the air. Voicemails like this one. Look, I Googled the thing that we were talking about last night that we were arguing, and yeah, it turns out you were right, man. I mean, sloths can hold their breath longer than dolphins, but I mean, if you think about it, that's just total bullshit. Like, why?

238.934 - 246.882 Brooke and Jeffrey (hosts)

You know, like, sloths can't live in the water. Anyways, I can't believe I made that bet, but I do owe you 10 bucks.

Chapter 3: How do the hosts react to the voicemails shared?

247.368 - 273.641 Brooke and Jeffrey (hosts)

So what do you say you give me a chance to earn it back? All right. You seem kind of smart. I'm more of a risk taker. So let's up to Annie, you know, how about you come down to the clinic with me on Friday and I get tested and I bet you there won't find more than three things that test positive for. And if they do find more than three, then I owe you like another ten bucks.

0

273.661 - 276.604 Brooke and Jeffrey (hosts)

He's just a good gambler. He's giving himself a good money line.

0

276.644 - 281.37 Unknown

Really, I feel like that's easy money for her. You know, like I take that bet. Yeah.

0

281.83 - 299.532 Brooke and Jeffrey (hosts)

I mean, at least he's honorable enough to own up to when he loses a bet and he calls you and tells you, you're right, I lost. He's a gambling man. Does anyone else want to Google Sloss holding their breath or is it just me? Yeah. He already did, apparently. I need to verify, Jeff. Why can't they swim? What is the point?

0

299.692 - 300.693 Unknown

I thought they could swim.

300.914 - 319.098 Brooke and Jeffrey (hosts)

Can they? See, these are things I need to find out. This is how bar bets are born, just like this. Next message. I know I probably came out kind of out there because I slapped pizza slice out of your hand, but you're going to thank me later because gluten really is dangerous.

320.34 - 326.16 Unknown

And It's hiding everywhere. Like there's gluten in our pantries. There's gluten in our water.

326.981 - 328.243 Brooke and Jeffrey (hosts)

There's gluten in our sour cream.

Chapter 4: What insights do the hosts share about dating and awkward situations?

329.264 - 343.44 Dani Shapiro

A lot of places that you wouldn't even think. Which, honestly, that was probably why your under eyes were so puffy. I mean, trust me, you could really cut back. I just think that you deserve to live a happy, gluten-free lifestyle.

0

343.859 - 376.408 Brooke and Jeffrey (hosts)

And if you give me the okay, I will make sure as your gluten guard that you never touch gluten again. And before I hang up, I remember you said that your parents were sick. So if you can give me power of attorney over them, I can make sure that gluten is out of their life too. Love you, bye. Next message. How do you say I'm crazy without directly saying I'm crazy? Oh my gosh.

0

376.809 - 377.07 Unknown

Wow.

0

377.25 - 382.865 Brooke and Jeffrey (hosts)

Gluten went to her head is what happened. Or lack of gluten. Do we live in a state with gluten water?

0

384.027 - 384.649 Unknown

Water?

384.629 - 388.014 Brooke and Jeffrey (hosts)

She said it's in the water. I want to make sure my water is gluten-free.

388.354 - 391.419 Unknown

Is that the sour cream? You're going to have to hire the gluten guard. I guess so.

391.439 - 395.985 Brooke and Jeffrey (hosts)

I need to keep her number. We are in the middle of an award-winning edition of The Loser Line today.

396.005 - 396.566 Unknown

What awards?

Chapter 5: How do the hosts discuss the concept of love bombing?

415.414 - 444.358 Brooke and Jeffrey (hosts)

Hey, it's Kyle. I just had to call because remember how you told me you were into being love-bombed? Well, get ready because bombs away. Here it goes. So... I want to take care of you so much. Like if you were the age you are now, but you lived in a rest home, that's how good I'd take care of you.

0

445.8 - 462.479 Brooke and Jeffrey (hosts)

I'd bring you to breakfast, to lunch and dinner, and read you the newspaper and play Scrabble with you. How's that for a love bomb? All right, call me back and I can give you some hot bedpan talk. Next message. Does he know what love bombing means? Yeah. I don't know.

0

462.499 - 465.805 Unknown

It's always good to imagine what your life's going to be like when you're incontinent.

0

465.946 - 474.782 Brooke and Jeffrey (hosts)

I just feel like that's going to be the next plot to a horror film. The love bomber. The call's coming from inside the retirement home.

0

474.802 - 476.866 Camille Stewart Gloucester

But nobody really cares because they can't move that fast.

476.886 - 477.447 Brooke and Jeffrey (hosts)

Right.

479.131 - 479.892 Dani Shapiro

Next message.

480.243 - 497.155 Unknown

Hey, Travis. I'm really sorry that it's taken me this long to get back to you. It's just, you know how I told you I was going to be going on that Disney cruise in the UK? Well, I spent some days in London before the cruise and British guys are really hot.

497.641 - 518.954 Brooke and Jeffrey (hosts)

Like, I don't know if it's just the accent or what, but there was this one guy who was, like, explaining cricket to me, and, like, normally something like that would bore me to tears, but it was just, like, the way he said it, I didn't care that he was talking about it for, like, 20 minutes. I was just mesmerized. And then I met this guy, Archie. Oh, my gosh.

Chapter 6: What humorous stories do the hosts share about British accents?

523.581 - 534.761 Unknown

It's just so fascinating. Mm-hmm. and don't get me wrong. It's like, not that you're not great, obviously like you're great, like in, in like your own way, but it was super nice to meet you.

0

535.022 - 542.301 Brooke and Jeffrey (hosts)

And, um, Ta-ta. Next message. Poured salt in the wound at the end there with the ta-ta, the British goodbye.

0

542.461 - 544.364 Unknown

You think that was the British goodbye? Yeah.

0

544.384 - 546.528 Brooke and Jeffrey (hosts)

If it was an American goodbye, I'd be like, see you later.

0

546.688 - 550.114 Unknown

I mean, I get it. British guys are only hot because of the accents.

550.815 - 562.454 Brooke and Jeffrey (hosts)

I think Alexis would disagree with that. Yeah, and to all of our male British listeners, we love you for all of the things about you. They're just so pale, you know? Oh, and you're so tan. It's not a very sunny place.

562.474 - 563.396 Unknown

I'll date you, don't worry.
