What prank are the hosts pulling for the birthday celebration?

Dani Shapiro 0:00
Hi, I'm Dani Shapiro.
Brooke 0:01
We were in the car, like a rolling stone came on, and he said, there's a line in there about your mother.
Dani Shapiro 0:06
And I said, what?
Brooke 0:08
What I would do if I didn't feel like I was being accepted is choose an identity that other people can't have. I knew something had happened to me in the middle of the night, but I couldn't hold on to what had happened.

These are just a few of the moving and important stories on my 13th season of Family Secrets. Listen to Family Secrets on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Dr. Laurie Santos 0:32
Dr. Laurie Santos from the Happiness Lab here. It's the season of giving, and this year my podcast, The Happiness Lab, is partnering with GiveDirectly, a nonprofit that provides people in extreme poverty with the cash they need as part of the Pods Fight Poverty campaign. Our goal this year is to raise $1 million, which will bring over 700 families out of extreme poverty.

How do the hosts explain their unique phone tap concept?

Dr. Laurie Santos 0:53
Your donation will put cash directly in the hands of these families in need. And they'll get to decide how to use it, whether that's school transportation, purchasing livestock, or starting a business. Plus, if you're a first-time donor, your gift will be matched by giving multiplier, which means more money for those in need. Visit givedirectly.org slash happiness lab to learn more and to donate. That's givedirectly.org slash happiness lab.
Brooke 1:19
What are the cycles fathers pass down that sons are left to heal? What if being a man wasn't about holding it all together, but learning how to let go? This is a space where men speak truth and find the power to heal and transform. I'm Mike Della Rocha. Welcome to Sacred Lessons.

What unexpected reactions do the hosts encounter during the call?

Brooke 1:40
Listen to Sacred Lessons on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Unknown 1:49
Hi, I'm Radhi Devlukia, and I am the host of A Really Good Cry podcast. This week, I am joined by Anna Runkle, also known as the Crappy Childhood Fairy, a creator, teacher, and guide helping people heal from the lasting emotional wounds of unsafe or chaotic childhoods. Talking about trauma isn't always great for people. It's not always the best thing. About a third of people who are traumatized as kids feel worse when they talk about it, get very dysregulated. Listen to A Really Good Cry on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The social media trend that's landing some Gen Zers in jail. The progressive media darling whose public meltdown got her fired. And the massive TikTok boycott against Target that actually makes no sense.

Who is the birthday person being pranked and how do they respond?

Unknown 2:30
You won't hear about these online stories in the mainstream media, but you can keep up with them and all the other entertaining and outrageous things happening online, in media, and in politics with the Brad vs. Everyone podcast. Listen to the Brad vs. Everyone podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Brooke 2:49
It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and on this show, we pride ourselves on coming up with pranks that are unique, different, and highly creative. Yeah. But not this one.
Jeff 2:59
Oh.
Brooke 2:59
We've done this idea three different times to three different people already.
Jeff 3:04
You know what? If it's Brooke, don't fix it, Jeff.
Brooke 3:06
Yeah, because it's simple, and we always get a funny reaction where we call someone and say, we're one of his 800 Facebook friends, and we want to wish him a happy birthday.
Jeff 3:16
Yeah. I do love this concept. It really is.
Brooke 3:18
Even though we've never actually met before or even spoken to them, they are super important in our lives. And that's what we do in your phone tap right now.
Jeff 3:28
It's another phone tap. Weekday mornings on the 20s.
Brooke 3:30
Hello. Rodney J. Who's this? Happy birthday, brother.

What surprises does the prank reveal about the caller's identity?

Brooke 3:39
Oh, my God. Thanks. Who's this? It's your birthday, man. Yeah, it is. Yeah. Not at work. It's Clint from Facebook. So you work at Facebook?
Unknown 3:56
I'm a little confused.
Brooke 3:58
No, that's good. No, you accepted my friend request in 2015. Remember? I don't. Oh, well, don't worry. I remember. I sure do. It was highlight of my year, actually.
No.
Unknown 4:11
Okay, so you're being serious?

How do the hosts escalate the prank with additional surprises?

Brooke 4:12
100%. And by the way, those Cabo pics that you posted from your trip in 2022, that looked like such a good time.
