1
00:00:55,745 --> 00:00:57,782
Hey buddy,
countdown to Christmas.
2
00:01:22,833 --> 00:01:25,036
Oh! Uh, could you
hold the door, please?
3
00:01:25,170 --> 00:01:26,472
- Yeah, yeah.
- Thank you.
4
00:01:31,684 --> 00:01:33,854
-Here, here. Allow me.
-Oh, thank you.
5
00:01:33,988 --> 00:01:35,758
No problem.
6
00:01:38,229 --> 00:01:40,066
-So, what floor?
-Uh, eight.
7
00:01:40,534 --> 00:01:42,371
-WKPC? My favorite station.
-Mh-hm.
8
00:01:42,506 --> 00:01:44,375
-Oh, yeah?
-Yeah.
9
00:01:49,352 --> 00:01:51,255
Thank you, again.
10
00:01:51,389 --> 00:01:53,393
No problem, again.
11
00:02:03,380 --> 00:02:04,683
We have
matcha lattes now.
12
00:02:05,350 --> 00:02:07,388
So corporate life?
Fifteen percent better.
13
00:02:07,689 --> 00:02:09,593
This is like, the furthest thing
from a corporate job.
14
00:02:09,726 --> 00:02:11,162
Whatever, you
know what I mean.
15
00:02:11,764 --> 00:02:13,501
So what's on deck
for the show today?
16
00:02:13,635 --> 00:02:15,704
Well, Brook
is still improvising
17
00:02:15,838 --> 00:02:18,443
and not really listening
to anything that anyone says.
18
00:02:18,577 --> 00:02:20,214
So, I really have no idea.
19
00:02:20,347 --> 00:02:21,482
Yikes. She should just tell her
20
00:02:21,617 --> 00:02:23,086
listeners
about the separation.
21
00:02:23,220 --> 00:02:25,625
-Maya!
-What? No one's in here!
22
00:02:26,059 --> 00:02:28,096
Brooke would fire me
if she knew I told you that.
23
00:02:28,430 --> 00:02:30,066
Well, good thing
she won't find out.
24
00:02:30,534 --> 00:02:31,837
Because my lips are sealed.
25
00:02:32,572 --> 00:02:35,578
Seriously, this new
lipstick I got? So sticky.
26
00:02:38,416 --> 00:02:40,020
I need you to not say
anything, seriously.
27
00:02:40,153 --> 00:02:41,924
- I won't! I promise.
- Promise?
28
00:02:42,057 --> 00:02:43,761
Like, don't
bring it up even to me again.
29
00:02:43,828 --> 00:02:44,729
Never again.
30
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:51,844
You're here early.
31
00:02:52,612 --> 00:02:54,414
Yeah, just wanted
to get a start on the day
32
00:02:54,549 --> 00:02:56,052
before
my new feature comes out.
33
00:02:56,787 --> 00:02:58,356
Oh, wait. Is that the place
that opened up on Fourth?
34
00:02:58,489 --> 00:03:00,694
The one you took Lucy to?
35
00:03:01,396 --> 00:03:02,932
Well, how'd it go?
36
00:03:04,034 --> 00:03:05,704
It was fine. It was fine.
37
00:03:07,608 --> 00:03:10,515
Fine. Fine? She's a supermodel
with a Ph.D.
38
00:03:10,648 --> 00:03:12,552
who runs her own nonprofit.
39
00:03:12,685 --> 00:03:13,888
Fine?
40
00:03:14,021 --> 00:03:15,156
I don't know how to tell you
41
00:03:15,290 --> 00:03:16,225
the chemistry
just wasn't there.
42
00:03:16,927 --> 00:03:18,496
You might actually be
beyond help.
43
00:03:18,831 --> 00:03:20,768
I don't need help, Liam.
Thank you very much.
44
00:03:20,935 --> 00:03:22,337
Whatever you say.
45
00:03:22,471 --> 00:03:25,911
Anyway, I need your
expenses report by end of day.
46
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,853
And I just think a full
body cab, that just--
47
00:03:30,086 --> 00:03:33,527
That just goes with just
about absolutely anything.
48
00:03:33,661 --> 00:03:35,898
My question was
actually, what was your
49
00:03:36,032 --> 00:03:38,436
favorite date night spot
with you and your husband?
50
00:03:38,670 --> 00:03:40,374
But your favorite
one I guess is good, too.
51
00:03:40,508 --> 00:03:42,410
- Oh, good. Thank you.
- Hey.
52
00:03:48,891 --> 00:03:51,262
Come by my office
after the show, alright?
53
00:03:51,930 --> 00:03:54,167
Okay. Yeah. Uh, is
everything all right?
54
00:03:54,535 --> 00:03:56,272
Yeah, yeah. I just wanna run
something by you.
55
00:03:56,907 --> 00:03:59,211
- Okay. Yeah, okay. Yeah.
- All right.
56
00:03:59,713 --> 00:04:02,618
Kenzie! Who's the next caller?
57
00:04:03,988 --> 00:04:05,491
We have Tanya on line two.
58
00:04:05,625 --> 00:04:07,896
She wants your tips
for hosting a successful
59
00:04:08,029 --> 00:04:09,164
girls day Christmas brunch.
60
00:04:09,298 --> 00:04:10,936
Oh, I love a good girls
brunch.
61
00:04:11,069 --> 00:04:12,104
No, guys to ruin it.
62
00:04:12,606 --> 00:04:15,043
Hey, Tanya, you're
having Breakfast with Brooke.
63
00:04:15,845 --> 00:04:17,280
Okay.
64
00:04:18,282 --> 00:04:19,853
How are you doing, kiddo?
65
00:04:20,888 --> 00:04:22,224
Good. Yeah.
66
00:04:22,357 --> 00:04:24,361
I'm a little concerned
that the station
67
00:04:24,495 --> 00:04:26,365
manager is asking
me how I'm doing.
68
00:04:26,499 --> 00:04:27,569
But other than that, I'm good.
69
00:04:27,702 --> 00:04:28,904
You want something to drink?
70
00:04:29,038 --> 00:04:31,576
Coffee,
water, wine from my vineyard?
71
00:04:31,943 --> 00:04:33,246
I'm okay.
72
00:04:33,413 --> 00:04:34,682
All right then,
let's get down to it.
73
00:04:35,183 --> 00:04:37,387
We need to lighten up
Breakfast with Brooke.
74
00:04:37,522 --> 00:04:38,925
What do you mean?
75
00:04:39,058 --> 00:04:40,060
Show's not good right now.
76
00:04:40,193 --> 00:04:42,699
It's stale, flat, boring.
77
00:04:42,832 --> 00:04:44,903
I mean, Brooke
used to actually connect
78
00:04:45,036 --> 00:04:47,875
with her fans,
give heartfelt advice.
79
00:04:48,009 --> 00:04:50,180
You know, before
Sheila and I were married.
80
00:04:50,380 --> 00:04:51,516
I used to listen to
81
00:04:51,950 --> 00:04:53,554
the guidance that Brooke
gave her callers on the show,
82
00:04:53,688 --> 00:04:56,627
and I would follow it
to a tee, things like what
83
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,066
to say on a first date
and how to charm a lady
84
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,371
or how to slay an anniversary.
85
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:04,374
Did I
use that word right? Slay?
86
00:05:05,745 --> 00:05:07,716
- Yeah, I guess.
- And it worked!
87
00:05:07,949 --> 00:05:09,619
People loved that Brooke.
88
00:05:09,752 --> 00:05:11,624
Well, I think Brooke would be
honored to know that.
89
00:05:11,757 --> 00:05:13,761
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I know. I get. I get it.
90
00:05:13,894 --> 00:05:15,130
I mean, listen.
91
00:05:16,032 --> 00:05:18,971
Brooke is Ann Arbor's number
one morning talk show host.
92
00:05:19,104 --> 00:05:20,575
-Yes, she is.
-Yes.
93
00:05:20,708 --> 00:05:24,248
But, she's been in a bad mood
for about six months now.
94
00:05:24,883 --> 00:05:27,622
She's tight lipped at content
planning meetings.
95
00:05:27,755 --> 00:05:29,960
She stopped giving
genuine advice on air.
96
00:05:30,093 --> 00:05:31,295
She doesn't
show up to the company
97
00:05:31,428 --> 00:05:32,732
get togethers anymore.
98
00:05:32,865 --> 00:05:35,137
Do you have any idea
what's going on with her?
99
00:05:35,538 --> 00:05:37,608
-No.
-No?
100
00:05:37,742 --> 00:05:39,378
Mm-mm.
101
00:05:39,980 --> 00:05:41,182
No, I don't.
102
00:05:41,315 --> 00:05:43,153
Oh, well,
you're her producer. I mean
103
00:05:43,286 --> 00:05:46,960
don't you have access to her
computer or keys to her house?
104
00:05:47,094 --> 00:05:48,229
Can you find out?
105
00:05:48,631 --> 00:05:50,300
Well, I appreciate that
you just lowkey sort of
106
00:05:50,433 --> 00:05:51,737
just ask me to trespass.
107
00:05:51,870 --> 00:05:53,473
Which I should admit
I'm not willing to do.
108
00:05:53,607 --> 00:05:54,910
Fair enough. Fair enough.
109
00:05:55,044 --> 00:05:56,580
But listen,
110
00:05:56,713 --> 00:05:58,851
we need to fix
whatever is going on here,
111
00:05:58,984 --> 00:06:01,322
because, stat, you
know, the suits
112
00:06:01,455 --> 00:06:04,328
upstairs are breathing down
my neck to get the show back
113
00:06:04,462 --> 00:06:07,835
to where it was before the end
of the Christmas season
114
00:06:07,969 --> 00:06:10,173
or they might consider
cutting.
115
00:06:10,307 --> 00:06:11,577
Oh, no, no.
116
00:06:11,710 --> 00:06:14,582
We are nowhere
near cutting anything.
117
00:06:15,517 --> 00:06:18,991
So I will, um,
I will talk to Brooke
118
00:06:19,191 --> 00:06:21,196
and I'll figure it out.
119
00:06:21,329 --> 00:06:22,599
And then handle it?
120
00:06:22,732 --> 00:06:24,001
And then handle it.
121
00:06:24,134 --> 00:06:26,072
Okay, great. Great. Because,
122
00:06:26,339 --> 00:06:28,911
I would hate to have to cut
my two favorite colleagues
123
00:06:29,144 --> 00:06:31,783
and my wife's favorite show,
124
00:06:31,917 --> 00:06:33,787
that would be...
125
00:06:34,789 --> 00:06:35,691
Not good.
126
00:06:36,459 --> 00:06:38,798
Maybe I would love some wine.
127
00:06:38,931 --> 00:06:40,233
Where are
you going, speedy?
128
00:06:40,433 --> 00:06:41,570
Uh, to save
my boss's job.
129
00:06:41,703 --> 00:06:43,640
- Wait, what?
- Um, never mind.
130
00:06:44,074 --> 00:06:45,043
What's up?
131
00:06:45,745 --> 00:06:48,116
-It's Tuesday.
-So?
132
00:06:48,551 --> 00:06:51,489
So, we eat lunch at the cafe
and watch the cuties from legal
133
00:06:51,624 --> 00:06:53,493
eat salads and compete over
who can be the most
134
00:06:53,628 --> 00:06:55,565
-boring on Tuesdays.
-Right. Yes.
135
00:06:55,698 --> 00:06:57,635
I will meet you down there.
136
00:06:57,769 --> 00:07:01,275
What? Don't leave me alone
with hot, boring lawyers!
137
00:07:01,408 --> 00:07:03,045
You know, that's my type.
138
00:07:13,399 --> 00:07:15,537
-Hey! So--
-Knock next time.
139
00:07:16,706 --> 00:07:19,044
Right. Yes, um.
140
00:07:19,946 --> 00:07:23,520
So, Mark isn't
141
00:07:23,654 --> 00:07:25,858
exactly thrilled with
the state of the show.
142
00:07:25,992 --> 00:07:26,893
Why?
143
00:07:27,460 --> 00:07:29,498
Well, your numbers
have been dropping
144
00:07:29,632 --> 00:07:30,735
and you're not getting
145
00:07:31,035 --> 00:07:33,006
the positive reviews
that you're used to, so.
146
00:07:33,139 --> 00:07:34,676
Well, I do not know what
147
00:07:34,809 --> 00:07:36,846
would be the cause of that,
because I'm--
148
00:07:36,980 --> 00:07:38,850
Okay well, Brooke, he said that
the suits upstairs
149
00:07:38,917 --> 00:07:40,654
are taking notice of you
acting differently.
150
00:07:40,721 --> 00:07:42,291
And I don't want to be
dramatic.
151
00:07:42,357 --> 00:07:44,194
- Well, then don't be dramatic.
- Because the suits
152
00:07:44,261 --> 00:07:44,996
upstairs are taking notice and
I think our show is in trouble.
153
00:07:46,666 --> 00:07:49,137
- I'm sorry, our show?
- Yes.
154
00:07:57,487 --> 00:07:58,891
My show.
155
00:07:59,091 --> 00:08:01,195
Well, I've been your producer
for half a decade, so,
156
00:08:01,328 --> 00:08:03,232
you know,
I kind of think...
157
00:08:03,365 --> 00:08:04,869
-Are you serious?
-Yes.
158
00:08:05,002 --> 00:08:06,606
I can't believe it's
been that long.
159
00:08:09,512 --> 00:08:11,215
Oh, you mean about the suits
upstairs?
160
00:08:11,348 --> 00:08:12,251
Yeah.
161
00:08:12,451 --> 00:08:14,689
Um, yes, unfortunately.
162
00:08:15,022 --> 00:08:16,158
But I told Mark
that I would talk to you
163
00:08:16,225 --> 00:08:17,661
and we would come up
with a plan.
164
00:08:18,362 --> 00:08:19,766
And why would you do that?
165
00:08:20,433 --> 00:08:21,903
To save our jobs.
166
00:08:22,605 --> 00:08:25,545
Our jobs are not in
trouble, Kenzie. Trust me.
167
00:08:25,678 --> 00:08:26,947
Brooke, I don't think you're
hearing me.
168
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,085
The suits upstairs, I mean,
this is serious.
169
00:08:29,218 --> 00:08:30,554
I hear you loud and clear.
170
00:08:33,260 --> 00:08:34,494
This is my show.
171
00:08:34,629 --> 00:08:36,566
And if they don't like
what I'm doing,
172
00:08:36,699 --> 00:08:38,503
then we'll take the show
somewhere else.
173
00:08:38,637 --> 00:08:41,376
WGCC, they offered me
a daytime spot.
174
00:08:42,144 --> 00:08:44,683
Yes, but that was like a year
ago, so.
175
00:08:44,816 --> 00:08:46,285
Okay, so we'll just,
176
00:08:46,419 --> 00:08:48,690
why don't you find out
if the offer still stands?
177
00:08:49,793 --> 00:08:51,328
Don't you think
that's a little bit rash?
178
00:08:51,663 --> 00:08:52,832
No.
179
00:08:52,965 --> 00:08:54,602
You would rather leave
the network
180
00:08:54,736 --> 00:08:56,773
that you have been
at for over a decade
181
00:08:56,907 --> 00:08:59,211
instead of telling people
that you and Todd split up.
182
00:09:00,313 --> 00:09:01,950
Maybe.
183
00:09:02,084 --> 00:09:02,919
Brooke.
184
00:09:03,353 --> 00:09:05,925
Kenzie, we have gone over this
a thousand times.
185
00:09:06,058 --> 00:09:07,661
Okay. Well, I think we need
to make it a thousand and one.
186
00:09:07,795 --> 00:09:08,931
Go over it again.
187
00:09:09,231 --> 00:09:11,503
Kenzie, I am not going
to publicly announce
188
00:09:11,636 --> 00:09:13,707
that my husband and I
are separated.
189
00:09:13,841 --> 00:09:16,178
Brooke, people separate
all the time.
190
00:09:16,311 --> 00:09:18,316
Yeah, but Brooke and Todd don't.
191
00:09:18,718 --> 00:09:19,920
Don't
you understand that people
192
00:09:20,053 --> 00:09:22,725
come to me
for relationship advice?
193
00:09:22,992 --> 00:09:24,996
And you think that they wouldn't
if they knew the truth?
194
00:09:25,130 --> 00:09:27,200
Yeah, I think they wouldn't
because they would think
195
00:09:27,334 --> 00:09:28,436
I was a fraud.
196
00:09:28,971 --> 00:09:31,042
No, Brooke, I really think
that people would understand.
197
00:09:31,710 --> 00:09:34,248
Kenzie, do not
bring this up again.
198
00:09:34,381 --> 00:09:35,483
I have made my decision.
199
00:09:35,618 --> 00:09:37,789
-Okay?
-Okay. How about this?
200
00:09:37,922 --> 00:09:40,794
Let's just take lunch
to think about it. Yeah?
201
00:09:41,830 --> 00:09:43,299
You really
don't remember that
202
00:09:43,432 --> 00:09:44,669
I'm intermittent fasting?
203
00:09:44,802 --> 00:09:46,371
I am not having lunch.
204
00:09:47,675 --> 00:09:49,277
Right.
205
00:09:49,411 --> 00:09:52,217
Well, I'm still eating.
206
00:09:52,351 --> 00:09:54,355
- Well, good for you. Enjoy.
- Thank you.
207
00:09:54,488 --> 00:09:57,995
So, I'm going to go do that
and then we can circle back.
208
00:09:58,129 --> 00:09:59,131
Sounds good.
209
00:09:59,599 --> 00:10:00,968
Okay, but we're going
to circle back about this.
210
00:10:01,101 --> 00:10:02,170
Yeah,
I heard you the first time.
211
00:10:02,505 --> 00:10:04,207
Great. Okay.
212
00:10:09,384 --> 00:10:10,788
Hey, Tawny, what's up?
213
00:10:10,922 --> 00:10:15,096
We just got the exclusive
on the O Wine Bar opening.
214
00:10:15,597 --> 00:10:16,933
We're the first publication
215
00:10:17,067 --> 00:10:18,804
previewing it,
and I need my best guy on it.
216
00:10:18,937 --> 00:10:21,308
I hope you mean me,
because...
217
00:10:21,441 --> 00:10:23,313
Of course, I mean you.
218
00:10:23,446 --> 00:10:24,949
You get guests,
219
00:10:25,083 --> 00:10:27,722
and if I was going to be in
town, I would use my power
220
00:10:27,856 --> 00:10:29,826
as your boss and
make you take me.
221
00:10:29,959 --> 00:10:31,495
You're not going to be missing
a tasting
222
00:10:31,563 --> 00:10:32,932
- while you're on your honeymoon.
- Come on.
223
00:10:33,801 --> 00:10:35,938
I spoke to Harry
about you the other day.
224
00:10:36,405 --> 00:10:39,612
They're considering
bringing on another executive.
225
00:10:39,745 --> 00:10:41,482
Your name is
at the top of the list.
226
00:10:41,683 --> 00:10:44,188
Oh, yeah. Keep it up.
227
00:10:44,623 --> 00:10:46,024
Who knows? Your name could be
228
00:10:46,158 --> 00:10:47,929
on the masthead
sooner than you think.
229
00:10:56,278 --> 00:10:58,851
Sam is looking
really good today.
230
00:10:58,984 --> 00:11:00,688
I think that juice cleanse
he's been doing for
231
00:11:00,821 --> 00:11:02,591
the past
three days is really working.
232
00:11:02,725 --> 00:11:04,729
Which one is Sam?
This one here?
233
00:11:04,929 --> 00:11:07,400
No, the cute blonde
guy with the suspenders.
234
00:11:07,935 --> 00:11:10,741
Right.
I dare you to go talk to him.
235
00:11:10,875 --> 00:11:12,745
There's zero chance of that
happening ever.
236
00:11:13,112 --> 00:11:14,715
- Why?
- That would be weird!
237
00:11:14,982 --> 00:11:16,418
And you giving him
a fake name
238
00:11:16,553 --> 00:11:18,990
and paying attention to his
dietary habits, isn't?
239
00:11:19,391 --> 00:11:20,928
Touché.
240
00:11:21,663 --> 00:11:22,898
How'd it go with Brooke?
241
00:11:23,265 --> 00:11:24,367
Um...
242
00:11:25,403 --> 00:11:27,307
I would say
there have definitely
243
00:11:27,441 --> 00:11:30,012
been more successful meetings
in my career.
244
00:11:30,580 --> 00:11:32,016
Yikes.
245
00:11:32,183 --> 00:11:34,088
Mark wants to know why
she's not acting like herself.
246
00:11:34,221 --> 00:11:36,726
-Because of the separation.
-Maya, stop bringing it up.
247
00:11:36,860 --> 00:11:39,431
No one heard me.
Besides, Mark's not wrong.
248
00:11:39,765 --> 00:11:40,834
People are commenting right
249
00:11:41,402 --> 00:11:43,205
and left online about how Brooke
has lost her authenticity.
250
00:11:43,339 --> 00:11:46,145
I'm doing damage control
on social all day, every day.
251
00:11:46,613 --> 00:11:47,749
Why didn't you tell me?
252
00:11:48,082 --> 00:11:49,417
Because I thought
you were handling it,
253
00:11:49,552 --> 00:11:51,121
and I didn't wanna make
the situation worse.
254
00:11:51,254 --> 00:11:52,424
Oh, okay.
255
00:11:52,558 --> 00:11:54,696
Um, on a scale from
one to ten, how bad is it?
256
00:11:54,929 --> 00:11:56,065
Okay, one,
you guys are totally
257
00:11:56,199 --> 00:11:57,669
killing it in the clear
to ten,
258
00:11:57,802 --> 00:12:00,641
you're both fired,
I'd say, I'd say a seven.
259
00:12:00,908 --> 00:12:02,978
- What? What?
- Maybe eight.
260
00:12:03,112 --> 00:12:05,818
But, if anyone can fix
a situation, it's you.
261
00:12:06,251 --> 00:12:07,789
Please
don't tell anyone about this.
262
00:12:07,922 --> 00:12:09,190
Okay.
My lips are sealed.
263
00:12:14,368 --> 00:12:16,438
- Go. Why not?
- No. Because no.
264
00:12:16,573 --> 00:12:18,944
You should, hi sorry,
do you need some napkins?
265
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:20,914
Uh, yeah. That would be amazing.
266
00:12:21,114 --> 00:12:23,085
Oh, great. She will bring them
over to you.
267
00:12:23,218 --> 00:12:24,689
-Oh, will she?
-Yes.
268
00:12:24,822 --> 00:12:26,491
You'll thank me later.
269
00:12:29,197 --> 00:12:31,035
- Hi.
- Hey, thank you.
270
00:12:31,169 --> 00:12:32,505
- Here you go.
- That's really good.
271
00:12:32,705 --> 00:12:34,341
Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Maya.
272
00:12:34,542 --> 00:12:37,781
I'm Liam. I'm an idiot.
273
00:12:38,349 --> 00:12:39,250
It's okay.
274
00:12:49,037 --> 00:12:51,041
I need that expense report
before I head out.
275
00:12:51,174 --> 00:12:52,310
Perfect. Got it Right here.
276
00:12:56,051 --> 00:12:57,588
What happened to you?
277
00:12:58,055 --> 00:13:00,393
Oh, that.
Just a little spill.
278
00:13:01,028 --> 00:13:02,831
A little spill that you're
happy about?
279
00:13:03,432 --> 00:13:06,371
The stain, no. But the girl
I met because of the stain?
280
00:13:08,042 --> 00:13:09,945
She works at WKPC.
281
00:13:10,514 --> 00:13:11,683
WKPC?
282
00:13:12,183 --> 00:13:14,956
Yeah, and her name's Maya,
283
00:13:15,089 --> 00:13:18,228
and she works
in the social media team.
284
00:13:19,599 --> 00:13:21,503
Do you know
someone that works at WKPC?
285
00:13:21,903 --> 00:13:24,542
Yeah. No, no, I don't.
286
00:13:25,911 --> 00:13:28,048
Sorry, I actually have to get
back to this. I have a deadline.
287
00:13:28,517 --> 00:13:30,386
Copy. Heard.
288
00:13:31,421 --> 00:13:34,595
-Expense report.
-Yeah, right. Of course. Here.
289
00:13:35,463 --> 00:13:36,666
Cheers.
290
00:14:04,054 --> 00:14:06,158
Aw, thank you so much
for knocking, come on in.
291
00:14:06,860 --> 00:14:10,166
-Okay. I've been thinking.
-Okay.
292
00:14:11,168 --> 00:14:15,845
And, have you ever online
dated?
293
00:14:16,012 --> 00:14:16,980
Sorry. What?
294
00:14:17,481 --> 00:14:22,190
-Todd's dating online. Already.
-Whoa.
295
00:14:22,424 --> 00:14:25,063
Yeah, It's
been, what, only ten months?
296
00:14:25,196 --> 00:14:26,700
Where did you find that?
297
00:14:26,833 --> 00:14:28,670
My friend
Olivia sent this to me.
298
00:14:28,804 --> 00:14:31,342
I mean, if he's doing it,
I should be doing it.
299
00:14:31,475 --> 00:14:32,845
Wait. Where
are you going?
300
00:14:33,312 --> 00:14:35,082
I'm going to get something
to eat because I'm starving.
301
00:14:36,318 --> 00:14:38,623
Well, I thought you were
intermittent fasting?
302
00:14:38,756 --> 00:14:40,126
Intermittent what?
303
00:14:40,928 --> 00:14:42,097
Are you okay?
304
00:14:42,531 --> 00:14:44,268
Because you've been acting
a little different lately.
305
00:14:44,401 --> 00:14:45,637
Like you're
kind of all over the place.
306
00:14:47,207 --> 00:14:49,110
-Yeah. Yeah, I'm good.
-Good.
307
00:14:52,785 --> 00:14:54,522
What just happened?
308
00:15:04,007 --> 00:15:05,309
- Hey.
- Hey!
309
00:15:05,710 --> 00:15:07,948
- How'd it go with Sam?
- Okay. Name's Liam.
310
00:15:08,182 --> 00:15:10,086
And he doesn't work in legal.
311
00:15:10,220 --> 00:15:12,290
-He works in accounting.
-Oh for two!
312
00:15:12,457 --> 00:15:14,161
-We're terrible at this!
-I know!
313
00:15:14,294 --> 00:15:15,864
And then he asked
for my phone number,
314
00:15:15,997 --> 00:15:17,935
so I guess me and not Sam
315
00:15:18,302 --> 00:15:19,471
are basically married now.
316
00:15:20,473 --> 00:15:22,010
What are you working on?
317
00:15:22,143 --> 00:15:23,413
Oh, I'm just trying
to figure out
318
00:15:23,547 --> 00:15:25,449
how to brighten up
Breakfast with Brooke.
319
00:15:27,053 --> 00:15:28,857
That looks like it's
going well.
320
00:15:29,123 --> 00:15:31,161
It is. Thank you very much.
321
00:15:31,863 --> 00:15:33,232
Yeah.
322
00:15:33,365 --> 00:15:35,504
Just going back
through the consumer data,
323
00:15:35,638 --> 00:15:37,708
what people love about Brooke
is her advice,
324
00:15:37,841 --> 00:15:40,380
that talking to her feels like
talking to your best friend,
325
00:15:40,514 --> 00:15:41,949
the way they get to connect
with her.
326
00:15:42,083 --> 00:15:44,455
That's why so many
people call in, or,
327
00:15:44,589 --> 00:15:45,625
used to.
328
00:15:45,758 --> 00:15:47,027
So you just need her
329
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:48,830
something to get Brooke back
to being Brooke.
330
00:15:49,030 --> 00:15:51,736
Yes. Or just get her
to open up a little bit.
331
00:15:51,870 --> 00:15:55,242
Okay. I'll give it some thought.
But, onto the real reason
332
00:15:55,376 --> 00:15:56,679
-that I'm here.
-Okay.
333
00:15:56,812 --> 00:15:59,151
We need to get you a date
for the Christmas soiree
334
00:15:59,284 --> 00:16:01,054
because mine's locked
down now, obviously.
335
00:16:01,421 --> 00:16:03,527
Uh, with everything
going on here,
336
00:16:03,660 --> 00:16:06,398
dating is kind of
the last thing on my mind.
337
00:16:06,465 --> 00:16:07,935
Okay, well if you don't have
time to go on dates,
338
00:16:08,336 --> 00:16:09,772
I can set you up on
blind dates.
339
00:16:10,507 --> 00:16:12,778
Come on. Nothing screams romance
like a little pressure.
340
00:16:12,912 --> 00:16:15,416
I would rather be on office,
microwave clean out
341
00:16:15,550 --> 00:16:17,855
duty for the rest of the year
than to go on a blind date.
342
00:16:17,989 --> 00:16:19,525
Ew, really?
343
00:16:19,659 --> 00:16:21,461
Yes. Blind dates are literally
my worst nightmare.
344
00:16:21,596 --> 00:16:23,465
Oh, but the stories that come
after are so good.
345
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:24,936
Remember
when I went out that one guy
346
00:16:25,069 --> 00:16:26,204
that Karen set me up with?
347
00:16:26,338 --> 00:16:27,575
- Oh yeah!
- What was his name?
348
00:16:27,708 --> 00:16:29,845
- It was Jack? John?
- No.
349
00:16:30,714 --> 00:16:33,018
- Jeremy.
- Wait a minute.
350
00:16:34,555 --> 00:16:37,962
That would be a great idea
for Brooke.
351
00:16:38,295 --> 00:16:41,001
Wait, what, set
Brooke up on a date with Jack?
352
00:16:41,235 --> 00:16:42,971
No, no, but yes.
353
00:16:43,105 --> 00:16:47,214
Set Brooke up on
blind dates, on air.
354
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,184
Wait a minute, that could be
good for ratings.
355
00:16:49,484 --> 00:16:51,088
Yes. And it would show her
vulnerable side
356
00:16:51,221 --> 00:16:53,425
and it would give us a banger
for our segment
357
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,029
on the Christmas
Eve live broadcast.
358
00:16:55,630 --> 00:16:57,634
Do you think she'd go
for something like that?
359
00:16:57,834 --> 00:16:59,137
Well, you said so yourself.
360
00:16:59,404 --> 00:17:01,041
The best part about blind
dates are the stories afterwards
361
00:17:01,743 --> 00:17:03,547
and she just found Todd's
dating profile.
362
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,350
So she said she wants
to put herself back out there.
363
00:17:05,483 --> 00:17:07,721
So this
could be kind of perfect.
364
00:17:08,890 --> 00:17:10,225
If I present it the right way.
365
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,163
Well, I will send you
all the positive thoughts
366
00:17:12,296 --> 00:17:14,635
and prayers
that this idea that I came up
367
00:17:14,868 --> 00:17:17,675
with as a joke works out
and saves both your jobs.
368
00:17:17,808 --> 00:17:19,913
And then you can take me out
to dinner and say thank you.
369
00:17:20,346 --> 00:17:22,350
- Deal.
- Deal.
370
00:17:23,385 --> 00:17:25,256
Now, where do we find
Brooke a blind date?
371
00:17:25,858 --> 00:17:27,294
No, I understand, I just don't
think we can get the
372
00:17:27,427 --> 00:17:28,597
press release out in time.
373
00:17:28,730 --> 00:17:31,201
Okay. Yeah, right.
All right. Bye.
374
00:17:32,170 --> 00:17:33,773
Oh! I'm so sorry!
375
00:17:33,907 --> 00:17:35,443
-I'm so sorry. Here.
-No. No, that was my fault.
376
00:17:35,577 --> 00:17:36,946
-I wasn't paying attention.
-Here.
377
00:17:39,586 --> 00:17:40,988
- You have a lot of stuff.
- Yeah.
378
00:17:41,121 --> 00:17:42,323
I think we need
to get you, like,
379
00:17:42,791 --> 00:17:44,427
a bigger bag or one of those
rolling baskets.
380
00:17:44,561 --> 00:17:45,831
You know, that
trial attorneys have?
381
00:17:48,269 --> 00:17:49,404
- Here.
- Thank you.
382
00:17:51,274 --> 00:17:52,377
I think this is yours.
383
00:17:52,511 --> 00:17:54,314
-Oh, yes.
-Breakfast with Brooke?
384
00:17:54,447 --> 00:17:56,285
Yeah, she's my boss.
385
00:17:56,485 --> 00:17:57,688
Really? My mom loves her show.
386
00:17:57,888 --> 00:17:59,592
Oh, she gets that
all the time.
387
00:17:59,725 --> 00:18:00,660
And what do you do?
388
00:18:00,794 --> 00:18:02,229
I'm her producer.
389
00:18:02,363 --> 00:18:05,103
-Kenzie. Nice to meet you.
-Ben. Nice to meet you.
390
00:18:07,106 --> 00:18:08,476
So you work in the building?
391
00:18:08,910 --> 00:18:13,520
Yeah, yeah, I'm just on the
second floor, Topline Papers.
392
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,624
Oh, I love Topline Papers!
393
00:18:15,757 --> 00:18:18,396
I read your site, like, all day,
every day. Don't tell Brooke.
394
00:18:18,530 --> 00:18:19,732
- Secret's safe with me.
- Okay.
395
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,336
So, what do you do for them?
396
00:18:22,604 --> 00:18:24,474
Lifestyle pieces, "best
of" lists, things like that.
397
00:18:24,775 --> 00:18:27,414
Nice! Do you do any of their
undercover food critic stuff?
398
00:18:28,082 --> 00:18:31,222
No. I wish.
It's all boring stuff.
399
00:18:31,355 --> 00:18:32,625
Ordinary restaurant
400
00:18:32,758 --> 00:18:33,860
openings, menu
changes, things like that.
401
00:18:34,461 --> 00:18:35,864
That doesn't
sound boring at all.
402
00:18:35,998 --> 00:18:36,899
Menu changes sound fun.
403
00:18:38,135 --> 00:18:40,073
Yeah, it's pretty intense.
404
00:18:40,206 --> 00:18:41,509
Especially when
every single restaurant
405
00:18:41,642 --> 00:18:43,746
in Ann Arbor
is updating their menu.
406
00:18:44,481 --> 00:18:45,818
All that free food.
407
00:18:46,519 --> 00:18:49,825
The food is the
best part, yes.
408
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,332
Well, thank you again.
And sorry, again.
409
00:18:53,533 --> 00:18:55,704
Yeah, no problem. Again.
410
00:18:56,740 --> 00:18:57,774
See ya.
411
00:19:01,415 --> 00:19:03,553
Why do I keep saying that?
412
00:19:27,066 --> 00:19:28,402
Yes. No, Absolutely, Tawny.
413
00:19:28,536 --> 00:19:30,640
I'll get them to you
this afternoon.
414
00:19:31,174 --> 00:19:32,443
As soon
as I can find them.
415
00:19:32,678 --> 00:19:34,948
What? No, I wasn't talking
to you. It's okay.
416
00:19:36,719 --> 00:19:37,755
Actually, here, can I call you
back? I have someone calling
417
00:19:37,822 --> 00:19:38,422
on the other line.
418
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:41,629
Ben Covington?
419
00:19:41,763 --> 00:19:42,464
Yes, speaking.
420
00:19:42,598 --> 00:19:44,735
Hi, this is Kenzie Parker.
421
00:19:44,869 --> 00:19:46,706
We bumped into each
other yesterday, and I think
422
00:19:46,839 --> 00:19:49,410
I accidentally grabbed
one of your papers by mistake?
423
00:19:50,479 --> 00:19:52,450
You don't happen to have one
424
00:19:52,584 --> 00:19:55,289
that's a list of restaurants
that starts with Grayson do you?
425
00:19:55,423 --> 00:19:57,227
Yes, I did. Sorry about that.
426
00:19:57,695 --> 00:20:00,166
No, no, no.
I'm so happy you called.
427
00:20:00,767 --> 00:20:03,472
No problem. Can I get them from
you this afternoon, 1pm?
428
00:20:04,141 --> 00:20:05,009
Just meet in the lobby?
429
00:20:05,443 --> 00:20:06,813
Yes. Works for me.
430
00:20:07,815 --> 00:20:10,352
Perfect. Thank you. Thank
you, Kenzie, for calling.
431
00:20:12,791 --> 00:20:13,893
Oh, shoot.
432
00:20:16,833 --> 00:20:18,603
Good morning.
433
00:20:19,003 --> 00:20:20,507
Morning.
434
00:20:21,542 --> 00:20:22,778
I've been thinking a lot
about what
435
00:20:22,911 --> 00:20:24,247
you said to me yesterday.
436
00:20:24,380 --> 00:20:26,017
Okay.
437
00:20:26,151 --> 00:20:27,186
You're right.
438
00:20:28,022 --> 00:20:30,092
Yeah, you're right.
You're right. You're right.
439
00:20:30,226 --> 00:20:31,361
Don't make me say that again.
440
00:20:31,495 --> 00:20:32,798
It feels so good to
hear you say it.
441
00:20:32,931 --> 00:20:34,434
I know, I know it does.
But, you're right.
442
00:20:34,702 --> 00:20:36,337
The show hasn't been the same.
443
00:20:36,471 --> 00:20:37,541
Because
I haven't been the same.
444
00:20:38,008 --> 00:20:40,681
So, I want you to
talk me through it.
445
00:20:41,348 --> 00:20:44,688
-Through...?
-Your plan to save our show?
446
00:20:45,924 --> 00:20:46,959
Our show?
447
00:20:48,863 --> 00:20:49,965
Yes, our show.
448
00:20:50,332 --> 00:20:52,369
Okay, um.
449
00:20:52,504 --> 00:20:54,241
What is it that listeners love
the most about the show?
450
00:20:54,575 --> 00:20:55,944
That I'm funny.
451
00:20:57,146 --> 00:20:59,117
I was thinking more along
the lines
452
00:20:59,250 --> 00:21:00,721
of how both you
and the listeners
453
00:21:00,854 --> 00:21:02,791
really enjoy it
when you get to connect.
454
00:21:02,924 --> 00:21:03,994
Okay.
455
00:21:04,227 --> 00:21:05,863
All of the data shows
that the listeners love
456
00:21:05,997 --> 00:21:08,469
feeling like they're actually
a part of your life.
457
00:21:08,603 --> 00:21:10,574
They like getting advice
from you while connecting
458
00:21:10,707 --> 00:21:12,611
with whatever it
is that you're going through.
459
00:21:14,114 --> 00:21:16,819
- And...?
- And, I say we give them that,
460
00:21:16,953 --> 00:21:19,658
but on an elevated level,
something really engaging.
461
00:21:19,792 --> 00:21:22,330
- Okay.
- So with the WKPC
462
00:21:22,464 --> 00:21:23,933
Christmas soiree
right around the corner,
463
00:21:24,067 --> 00:21:28,810
I was thinking that
maybe, um, on today's show,
464
00:21:28,943 --> 00:21:31,381
you could tell
465
00:21:31,515 --> 00:21:34,722
the listeners about Todd
and the separation.
466
00:21:34,855 --> 00:21:36,592
Uh-huh. Yeah.
I don't know about that.
467
00:21:36,726 --> 00:21:38,830
Well, wait,
Brooke! I'm not done. Hold on.
468
00:21:39,096 --> 00:21:40,499
And then I would set you up
469
00:21:40,634 --> 00:21:42,705
on a series of live
on-air blind dates
470
00:21:42,838 --> 00:21:44,340
that you would take
in the studio
471
00:21:44,407 --> 00:21:45,811
to find the perfect date for
the company Christmas party.
472
00:21:53,993 --> 00:21:55,664
I love it.
473
00:21:55,798 --> 00:21:57,033
- Yeah?
- I love it.
474
00:21:57,167 --> 00:21:59,671
-Yeah!
-It's young. It's fresh.
475
00:21:59,805 --> 00:22:01,876
See, this is why I hired you.
476
00:22:02,811 --> 00:22:04,214
All right, let's do it.
Let's do it.
477
00:22:04,347 --> 00:22:05,617
- Let's do it.
- Let's do it.
478
00:22:05,750 --> 00:22:07,320
I will do it today.
I will do it today.
479
00:22:07,453 --> 00:22:10,159
We are going to get Breakfast
with Brooke, back to number one.
480
00:22:10,292 --> 00:22:15,135
Yes, we are! Oh my gosh.
She loved it. Oh, she loved it.
481
00:22:21,683 --> 00:22:23,953
Hey, you got this.
482
00:22:24,020 --> 00:22:25,456
And if you don't got this,
that's what I'm here for.
483
00:22:25,590 --> 00:22:27,059
Just give me the signal.
484
00:22:28,228 --> 00:22:30,299
Thank you.
485
00:22:30,432 --> 00:22:33,038
Okay. You are live in five,
486
00:22:33,540 --> 00:22:36,846
four, three...
487
00:22:36,979 --> 00:22:38,616
Good morning, Ann Arbor!
488
00:22:38,983 --> 00:22:41,589
This is Brooke Walkins,
and you are having Breakfast
489
00:22:41,723 --> 00:22:44,060
with Brooke. Okay.
490
00:22:44,193 --> 00:22:46,866
Today's show is going to be
a little different
491
00:22:46,999 --> 00:22:49,070
because there is something
very personal
492
00:22:49,204 --> 00:22:51,107
that I would like to share
with all of you.
493
00:22:51,341 --> 00:22:53,078
I know that a lot of
you have noticed
494
00:22:53,212 --> 00:22:55,082
that I've been acting
different lately.
495
00:22:55,216 --> 00:22:56,919
Well, mainly because
I've seen your comments.
496
00:22:57,053 --> 00:22:58,155
So thank you very much.
497
00:22:58,288 --> 00:23:00,761
I'm glad
that you're very honest,
498
00:23:00,894 --> 00:23:03,264
and I am different
and I apologize.
499
00:23:03,398 --> 00:23:06,706
The reason being
is because my husband,
500
00:23:06,839 --> 00:23:11,214
Todd and I have decided to
separate earlier this year.
501
00:23:11,916 --> 00:23:16,592
So it was very difficult, um.
502
00:23:16,726 --> 00:23:18,495
You know, Todd's
an amazing man
503
00:23:18,629 --> 00:23:20,499
and a wonderful
504
00:23:20,567 --> 00:23:22,370
father,
but a lot of you,
505
00:23:22,437 --> 00:23:25,610
I'm sure, can relate to this,
that sometimes people
506
00:23:25,677 --> 00:23:29,183
want something different
than what you can give.
507
00:23:29,685 --> 00:23:32,658
I was very hesitant
in telling
508
00:23:32,791 --> 00:23:36,699
all of you because you guys come
to me for relationship advice.
509
00:23:37,032 --> 00:23:39,604
So I felt like,
510
00:23:39,738 --> 00:23:42,109
I don't know, it was hard
for me
511
00:23:42,243 --> 00:23:45,750
to, to share that with you,
but I love all of you.
512
00:23:45,884 --> 00:23:48,857
And anyway, that's
what's been going on
513
00:23:49,057 --> 00:23:51,929
and, I am very sorry
it's taken me this long
514
00:23:52,062 --> 00:23:53,732
to tell you,
515
00:23:53,866 --> 00:23:56,772
but I am in a place
where I'm very excited
516
00:23:56,905 --> 00:24:01,415
to see what my future is and
517
00:24:01,716 --> 00:24:05,089
being open to possibly
meeting someone.
518
00:24:05,724 --> 00:24:10,399
And Kenzie has got something
fun planned for that.
519
00:24:10,567 --> 00:24:13,773
So on to the fun stuff, Kenzie.
520
00:24:15,109 --> 00:24:16,111
Thank you, Brooke.
521
00:24:16,546 --> 00:24:18,850
I commend you for your bravery
and your vulnerability.
522
00:24:18,983 --> 00:24:20,152
Thank you.
523
00:24:20,285 --> 00:24:23,092
But like you said, now
on to the fun stuff.
524
00:24:23,225 --> 00:24:24,961
Listeners of Breakfast
with Brooke.
525
00:24:25,095 --> 00:24:26,297
I need your help.
526
00:24:26,431 --> 00:24:29,003
Our beloved Brooke is single
and ready to mingle
527
00:24:29,137 --> 00:24:33,178
and she needs a date
for the WKPC Christmas soiree.
528
00:24:33,411 --> 00:24:36,518
So, I am going to set
Brooke up on a series of live
529
00:24:36,652 --> 00:24:38,522
on-air blind dates in studio.
530
00:24:38,656 --> 00:24:40,860
Do you know someone who would
be a great fit for our Brooke?
531
00:24:41,127 --> 00:24:42,831
If so, send them my way.
532
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,338
Oh, wow. It looks like you all
have a lot to say about that.
533
00:24:46,605 --> 00:24:48,041
Brooke, what do you
say we take a caller?
534
00:24:48,175 --> 00:24:49,845
Definitely.
Let's take a caller.
535
00:24:49,978 --> 00:24:52,450
Great. Okay. You have
Nancy on line one.
536
00:24:53,151 --> 00:24:55,990
Hi, Nancy. You're having
Breakfast with Brooke.
537
00:24:56,324 --> 00:24:57,459
Brooke, hi.
538
00:24:58,027 --> 00:25:00,365
I think my brother Mike
would be just perfect for you.
539
00:25:00,499 --> 00:25:01,835
Oh, really?
540
00:25:02,236 --> 00:25:03,840
Forty-two, never been married.
541
00:25:03,973 --> 00:25:05,910
A doctor, and he loves dogs.
542
00:25:06,111 --> 00:25:08,048
Well, I love that
he loves dogs.
543
00:25:08,181 --> 00:25:12,156
He-- he sounds like he could
be perfect and wonderful.
544
00:25:12,289 --> 00:25:14,895
So I will pass
you back to Kenzie,
545
00:25:15,128 --> 00:25:18,669
my producer, and she will
get his info. Thank you.
546
00:25:20,740 --> 00:25:21,943
Hi, this is Kenzie.
547
00:25:22,076 --> 00:25:24,147
So you want to
nominate your brother?
548
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:25,415
Okay. What's his name?
549
00:25:25,550 --> 00:25:26,652
Okay, So you really do.
550
00:25:26,785 --> 00:25:27,988
You really thought
it was okay?
551
00:25:28,255 --> 00:25:30,359
Yes. We already have over
a hundred submissions.
552
00:25:30,492 --> 00:25:31,663
-Really?
-A hundred and one!
553
00:25:31,796 --> 00:25:32,865
-Oh, my gosh. Already?
-Yeah. Yes.
554
00:25:35,235 --> 00:25:36,839
Well, look who it is.
555
00:25:37,073 --> 00:25:39,410
- My dynamic duo.
- Hey!
556
00:25:39,979 --> 00:25:42,049
So, I listened
to the show today.
557
00:25:42,416 --> 00:25:43,920
-And?
-And?
558
00:25:44,053 --> 00:25:45,723
And I didn't think it was good.
559
00:25:48,461 --> 00:25:50,165
I thought it was great.
560
00:25:50,299 --> 00:25:52,704
It was our highest
rated show this quarter.
561
00:25:52,838 --> 00:25:54,608
We're extending the show
an additional fifteen minutes
562
00:25:54,741 --> 00:25:56,979
until Brooke can find
that perfect date.
563
00:25:57,112 --> 00:25:58,983
- Oh, and Kenzie?
- Yes.
564
00:25:59,117 --> 00:26:01,555
You let us know what resources
you need from us.
565
00:26:01,688 --> 00:26:03,526
Background
checks on potential dates,
566
00:26:03,659 --> 00:26:05,530
additional hands on deck.
Let us know.
567
00:26:05,830 --> 00:26:06,932
Okay, I will.
568
00:26:08,368 --> 00:26:09,505
-Excuse me.
-Yeah.
569
00:26:09,771 --> 00:26:11,742
Thank you so much
for sharing that. Thank you.
570
00:26:12,811 --> 00:26:14,213
Look. I didn't want to say
571
00:26:14,347 --> 00:26:17,554
this in front of Brooke
because, well,
572
00:26:17,688 --> 00:26:19,291
you know how fragile
on-air talent are.
573
00:26:19,424 --> 00:26:20,594
Oh, I don't think that--
574
00:26:20,727 --> 00:26:23,198
Look, the show today,
it was good.
575
00:26:24,033 --> 00:26:25,570
Well you said it was the highest
rated show of the quarter.
576
00:26:25,837 --> 00:26:27,774
It was, but...
577
00:26:28,943 --> 00:26:30,513
This is the first time,
Brooke has spiked
578
00:26:30,647 --> 00:26:32,550
in the ratings
scale in months.
579
00:26:32,817 --> 00:26:34,454
It could just be a fluke.
580
00:26:34,588 --> 00:26:36,090
-Oh, no.
-And if it was,
581
00:26:36,525 --> 00:26:38,862
we'll be having
a much different conversation.
582
00:26:39,263 --> 00:26:41,869
So, we'll let you know
who will be Brooke's date
583
00:26:42,002 --> 00:26:43,773
for the party as we get closer
to it.
584
00:26:44,174 --> 00:26:45,409
Wait, what?
585
00:26:45,544 --> 00:26:47,814
Yeah, I already have Maya
putting together a tracker
586
00:26:47,947 --> 00:26:50,052
to see who polls the best
with our listeners.
587
00:26:50,385 --> 00:26:53,759
We'll pick Brooke's party date
based on the ratings,
588
00:26:53,893 --> 00:26:55,395
you know, give the people
what they want.
589
00:26:55,529 --> 00:26:57,366
A Christmas live broadcast.
590
00:26:57,734 --> 00:26:59,738
Right. But what about Brooke?
591
00:26:59,872 --> 00:27:01,007
What about Brooke?
592
00:27:01,141 --> 00:27:02,544
Well,
what about what she wants?
593
00:27:02,611 --> 00:27:04,147
She gets a date to the party
and she gets to keep
594
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:05,382
her show on the air.
595
00:27:06,017 --> 00:27:08,556
Now get out there, make that
producer magic happen,
596
00:27:08,723 --> 00:27:11,562
and ensure that Brooke gives us
all that romantic Christmas
597
00:27:11,695 --> 00:27:15,235
magic as she
falls in love on-air.
598
00:27:18,576 --> 00:27:20,078
Okay.
599
00:27:25,857 --> 00:27:27,761
Yeah, I thought
we were going to wait.
600
00:27:27,895 --> 00:27:29,030
I know. I'm sorry.
601
00:27:29,164 --> 00:27:30,634
I was going to talk to you
about it.
602
00:27:30,767 --> 00:27:32,236
I just think that it's time
that you and
603
00:27:32,369 --> 00:27:35,944
I accept the fact that we are,
that we're separated.
604
00:27:36,211 --> 00:27:37,313
Look, Brooke,
605
00:27:37,446 --> 00:27:39,016
if you wanted to start
dating other people,
606
00:27:39,150 --> 00:27:40,452
you should have just said
something.
607
00:27:40,586 --> 00:27:42,356
Oh, okay.
608
00:27:42,490 --> 00:27:44,795
So those are the rules
that we're playing by.
609
00:27:44,928 --> 00:27:46,565
Okay, you know what?
610
00:27:46,698 --> 00:27:48,936
I'm at work right
now, and I can't do this.
611
00:27:49,905 --> 00:27:51,742
Okay. Sorry. Goodbye.
612
00:27:59,323 --> 00:28:01,929
Based on the way the listeners
reacted today, I think they are
613
00:28:02,062 --> 00:28:04,300
really excited
for you to find love again.
614
00:28:04,434 --> 00:28:06,004
Okay, if I don't?
615
00:28:06,538 --> 00:28:08,141
We just won't
allow that to be an option.
616
00:28:08,474 --> 00:28:10,580
So the way I see
this working is I will screen
617
00:28:10,713 --> 00:28:11,983
the potential candidates--
618
00:28:12,116 --> 00:28:13,485
You're a little
too excited about this.
619
00:28:13,619 --> 00:28:15,089
And then if they're a good fit,
I will bring them
620
00:28:15,222 --> 00:28:17,393
into the studio
for a live on-air date.
621
00:28:17,828 --> 00:28:20,132
Yeah, that sounds good.
622
00:28:23,572 --> 00:28:25,175
-Hi.
-Hi.
623
00:28:25,309 --> 00:28:27,914
-Hey, you.
-Sorry about that.
624
00:28:28,148 --> 00:28:29,918
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
625
00:28:30,152 --> 00:28:31,588
-So sorry.
-No worries.
626
00:28:31,722 --> 00:28:33,593
No worries. How'd the show go?
627
00:28:33,926 --> 00:28:36,097
Uh, good. Yeah.
628
00:28:36,599 --> 00:28:38,603
I'm sure my mom will tell me
all about it tonight.
629
00:28:39,137 --> 00:28:41,474
We do dinner every Wednesday.
630
00:28:41,775 --> 00:28:42,811
This week she picked Zini's.
631
00:28:43,278 --> 00:28:45,215
I love Zini's!
Zini's is the bomb!
632
00:28:45,448 --> 00:28:46,885
-Their eggplant parmesan--
-It's the best!
633
00:28:47,019 --> 00:28:49,323
-Oh my god, it's so good! Yes!
-Right?
634
00:28:50,793 --> 00:28:53,633
So I actually do their menu
635
00:28:53,766 --> 00:28:56,003
tasting
for their seasonal menus,
636
00:28:56,137 --> 00:28:57,674
if you ever want to go,
637
00:28:57,807 --> 00:28:59,476
because, you know,
we both like food.
638
00:28:59,744 --> 00:29:02,049
Oh, yeah. I'd love to.
639
00:29:03,118 --> 00:29:05,288
Great. How's Friday?
640
00:29:08,596 --> 00:29:12,470
Yeah, like this Friday?
Yeah, Friday's good.
641
00:29:12,971 --> 00:29:14,473
Okay, I'll send you
a virtual ticket.
642
00:29:15,509 --> 00:29:16,879
Well, I will let you know
643
00:29:17,012 --> 00:29:19,283
if I have any more
of your papers and stuff.
644
00:29:20,052 --> 00:29:21,822
-Thank you again.
-Yes, sorry about that.
645
00:29:22,022 --> 00:29:23,491
No, of course. Thanks.
646
00:29:27,968 --> 00:29:29,103
Who was that?
647
00:29:29,237 --> 00:29:31,173
Oh, just a guy.
It's just a guy.
648
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,479
Mister handsome
with the haircut? Hello?
649
00:29:33,613 --> 00:29:35,248
Not-- Maya stop staring!
650
00:29:35,382 --> 00:29:37,386
Physically impossible
because he's' so cute!
651
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:38,990
Yes, he's cute.
652
00:29:39,123 --> 00:29:41,494
And he goes to dinner
with his mom every Wednesday.
653
00:29:42,129 --> 00:29:43,331
You have to marry him.
654
00:29:43,766 --> 00:29:45,536
Or at least invite him
to the Christmas Eve party.
655
00:29:45,670 --> 00:29:47,607
I am not inviting somebody
I barely know to the company
656
00:29:47,807 --> 00:29:49,678
Christmas party. Plus, I don't
even know if he's single.
657
00:29:50,145 --> 00:29:52,015
But he did invite me
to a tasting at Zini's.
658
00:29:52,149 --> 00:29:54,588
-Hey, sorry to interrupt.
-Oh, no. You're fine.
659
00:29:54,721 --> 00:29:55,890
You're not interrupting.
660
00:29:56,490 --> 00:30:00,165
This is
for you just to say thanks.
661
00:30:01,267 --> 00:30:02,837
I wasn't sure which
to get you, so I just got you
662
00:30:02,970 --> 00:30:06,011
my favorite hazelnut
and peppermint combo.
663
00:30:06,646 --> 00:30:09,651
Well, those are two flavors
I've never thought to mix.
664
00:30:10,352 --> 00:30:12,055
It's great.
You're going to love it.
665
00:30:12,924 --> 00:30:14,159
This is best friend Kenzie.
666
00:30:14,359 --> 00:30:16,532
Nice to meet you
best friend, Kenzie. I'm Liam.
667
00:30:16,732 --> 00:30:18,201
Nice to meet you.
668
00:30:20,038 --> 00:30:21,842
I'll let you two get
back to it. See you, Maya.
669
00:30:22,209 --> 00:30:24,179
-Bye.
-Bye.
670
00:30:32,898 --> 00:30:34,701
Mm, no.
671
00:30:34,834 --> 00:30:37,006
-Can't be that bad.
-It's bad.
672
00:30:37,139 --> 00:30:39,511
-Oh, that's a crime.
-That's a choice.
673
00:30:39,745 --> 00:30:41,448
Oh, gosh.
674
00:30:42,350 --> 00:30:46,157
Okay, E.J. Phillips. "I am a
powerhouse of physicality,
675
00:30:46,291 --> 00:30:48,629
and I can often
be found at the gym."
676
00:30:49,263 --> 00:30:51,500
Okay, we're going to pass
on that one.
677
00:30:52,135 --> 00:30:55,009
Randall. "This
bloke is a total riot.
678
00:30:55,276 --> 00:30:57,279
He loves nothing more
than enjoying a cold one."
679
00:30:58,248 --> 00:31:00,519
While you sound very fun
and your beanie is
680
00:31:00,653 --> 00:31:02,256
very festive, I have to pass.
681
00:31:02,824 --> 00:31:05,329
Mike Sanders. "Hi there."
682
00:31:05,864 --> 00:31:07,265
Hi, Mike. You are cute.
683
00:31:07,934 --> 00:31:09,069
"My name is Mike.
684
00:31:09,203 --> 00:31:10,807
I'm an allergist,
recently divorced.
685
00:31:10,940 --> 00:31:12,811
I am looking for someone
special to share my life
686
00:31:12,944 --> 00:31:14,246
with and hopefully
find true love."
687
00:31:15,015 --> 00:31:16,250
I think you might be our guy.
688
00:31:16,384 --> 00:31:17,887
"If you're looking for someone
689
00:31:18,154 --> 00:31:20,125
who is friendly and dedicated,
then I'm your guy."
690
00:31:20,258 --> 00:31:23,565
Yes, you are.
Okay, let's reply to Mike.
691
00:31:24,601 --> 00:31:25,468
"Hi, Mike.
692
00:31:25,536 --> 00:31:27,405
My name is Kenzie Parker
693
00:31:27,540 --> 00:31:30,946
and I wanted to speak to you
about coming in
694
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,855
for a blind date with Brooke.
695
00:31:34,988 --> 00:31:36,558
Are you interested?"
696
00:31:37,861 --> 00:31:39,429
Okay, next.
697
00:31:50,018 --> 00:31:51,689
Hi, baby.
698
00:31:51,822 --> 00:31:53,024
Hey, Mom.
699
00:31:53,157 --> 00:31:54,728
Wait. Are you still at work?
700
00:31:54,861 --> 00:31:57,399
I know, I am still at work, but,
701
00:31:57,533 --> 00:32:00,105
you know,
I need to wrap up some stuff.
702
00:32:00,438 --> 00:32:02,611
So you're really enjoying
your empty nester life?
703
00:32:02,944 --> 00:32:04,714
No, actually, I'm not.
704
00:32:06,250 --> 00:32:07,654
I just want you
to be happy, Mom.
705
00:32:07,788 --> 00:32:09,290
I am happy.
706
00:32:09,423 --> 00:32:11,494
Well, I have my last final,
in a few days,
707
00:32:11,628 --> 00:32:13,666
so I'll see you guys
next week.
708
00:32:14,099 --> 00:32:16,471
Oh, I miss you.
I can't wait to see you.
709
00:32:16,605 --> 00:32:19,811
Is there any way
that you can come earlier
710
00:32:19,945 --> 00:32:21,581
and spend time with us?
711
00:32:21,915 --> 00:32:23,051
Mom.
712
00:32:23,384 --> 00:32:26,625
I'm sorry. I miss you.
I miss you so much.
713
00:32:26,926 --> 00:32:28,327
What are we doing for
Christmas?
714
00:32:28,461 --> 00:32:30,132
Are we still doing dinner
with Dad?
715
00:32:30,265 --> 00:32:32,069
I don't know how you guys
are doing things since I left.
716
00:32:32,603 --> 00:32:36,277
You know what? I will,
I will call your Dad and
717
00:32:36,945 --> 00:32:38,347
we will figure it out, okay?
718
00:32:39,016 --> 00:32:40,920
Cool. Well, I got to go.
719
00:32:41,053 --> 00:32:42,289
My morning
class is about to start.
720
00:32:42,423 --> 00:32:44,695
I'll see you soon.
I love you so much.
721
00:32:44,995 --> 00:32:46,698
I can't wait to see you.
722
00:32:46,832 --> 00:32:47,734
Love you, Mom.
723
00:32:58,856 --> 00:33:00,492
Hi. You've reached Todd.
724
00:33:00,626 --> 00:33:01,561
Leave a message.
725
00:33:25,375 --> 00:33:26,578
And that's what got me
726
00:33:26,711 --> 00:33:28,916
into collecting
vintage Mason jars.
727
00:33:29,049 --> 00:33:30,151
Right.
728
00:33:30,285 --> 00:33:31,521
I have over three hundred now.
729
00:33:31,922 --> 00:33:32,824
Wow.
730
00:33:33,024 --> 00:33:34,459
I donated a few to the museum.
731
00:33:35,395 --> 00:33:36,297
Cool.
732
00:33:37,700 --> 00:33:39,470
Okay, so, um,
can you tell me what it is
733
00:33:39,605 --> 00:33:41,307
that you're looking for
in a significant other?
734
00:33:41,508 --> 00:33:45,816
Oh! Well, I'm looking for
someone who's giving.
735
00:33:46,685 --> 00:33:47,620
Great.
736
00:33:48,054 --> 00:33:49,958
I live in a studio apartment,
so I donate the majority
737
00:33:50,091 --> 00:33:51,561
of my income to the less
fortunate.
738
00:33:53,431 --> 00:33:54,867
Yeah. So, really,
I'm looking for someone
739
00:33:55,101 --> 00:33:57,472
who is totally selfless
and who's cool with a roommate.
740
00:33:57,607 --> 00:33:58,508
Or two.
741
00:34:00,747 --> 00:34:01,915
And so from there,
742
00:34:02,048 --> 00:34:03,786
I backpacked through India.
743
00:34:03,919 --> 00:34:04,821
Where I met my third wife.
744
00:34:05,422 --> 00:34:08,461
- Your third--
- Third wife.
745
00:34:10,098 --> 00:34:12,135
Right, um.
746
00:34:12,803 --> 00:34:14,540
How many wives have you had?
747
00:34:15,008 --> 00:34:18,214
Well, I'm hoping Brooke
will be my number five.
748
00:34:18,715 --> 00:34:19,617
Right.
749
00:34:27,533 --> 00:34:32,242
I'm going to go get,
um, something.
750
00:34:39,190 --> 00:34:40,425
-Hey.
-Oh, gosh.
751
00:34:40,492 --> 00:34:41,695
I'm sorry, I didn't
mean to scare you.
752
00:34:41,762 --> 00:34:42,697
No, it's okay.
753
00:34:47,606 --> 00:34:49,978
-Who is that?
-That is a potential blind date.
754
00:34:50,111 --> 00:34:51,748
-A potential?
-Yes.
755
00:34:52,248 --> 00:34:55,222
For Brooke. For the WKPC
Christmas Eve soiree.
756
00:34:55,422 --> 00:34:56,691
Ah.
757
00:34:58,027 --> 00:35:00,766
-How's it going? Going well?
-Terribly. It's going terribly.
758
00:35:00,899 --> 00:35:02,336
He hasn't said anything
since he got here.
759
00:35:02,469 --> 00:35:03,606
Absolutely nothing.
It's been silent.
760
00:35:03,739 --> 00:35:04,641
I don't know what to do.
761
00:35:05,275 --> 00:35:06,778
Do you need some help?
762
00:35:06,845 --> 00:35:08,414
You want me to go over there
with you, give you an out?
763
00:35:09,283 --> 00:35:11,287
Yes. Yes, I would.
764
00:35:11,588 --> 00:35:14,126
-Yeah. Operation Blind Date.
-Okay.
765
00:35:14,259 --> 00:35:15,696
-Let's go.
-Okay. All right.
766
00:35:18,935 --> 00:35:21,541
Larry. Crazy coincidence.
767
00:35:21,675 --> 00:35:25,048
This is my friend Ben,
and I totally forgot that,
768
00:35:25,181 --> 00:35:26,785
I told him that I would
help him...
769
00:35:26,952 --> 00:35:28,154
-Water my--
-His cat.
770
00:35:38,643 --> 00:35:39,744
Okay.
771
00:35:41,013 --> 00:35:43,952
That was easy and awkward.
772
00:35:44,086 --> 00:35:45,923
-Very weird. Very weird.
-Yeah.
773
00:35:46,525 --> 00:35:47,927
-You're kidding.
-No.
774
00:35:48,227 --> 00:35:49,998
A broke college kid's got to do
what a broke college kid's
775
00:35:50,131 --> 00:35:51,233
got to do.
776
00:35:54,139 --> 00:35:57,713
Uh, what is your favorite food?
777
00:35:58,147 --> 00:35:59,584
Easy.
778
00:35:59,718 --> 00:36:01,688
My mother's blueberry pancakes
and scrambled eggs.
779
00:36:01,822 --> 00:36:03,391
Breakfast
food is my favorite, too.
780
00:36:03,526 --> 00:36:04,728
-Really?
-Yes, but bagels
781
00:36:04,861 --> 00:36:06,397
and cream cheese.
Whipped cream cheese.
782
00:36:06,632 --> 00:36:08,736
If you give me plain.
Well, I'll eat it, but I'll
783
00:36:08,869 --> 00:36:10,271
enjoy it like
thirty percent less.
784
00:36:10,405 --> 00:36:11,975
Thirty percent?
That's a specific number.
785
00:36:12,108 --> 00:36:14,614
So you're not a fan of cream
cheese frosting then, are you?
786
00:36:14,747 --> 00:36:16,684
Oh, no. Cream cheese
frosting and cream cheese
787
00:36:16,818 --> 00:36:18,588
are two very different
spreadable categories
788
00:36:18,722 --> 00:36:20,659
that should never be combined
as far as I'm concerned.
789
00:36:21,962 --> 00:36:23,733
I'm sorry. You're just very
passionate about that.
790
00:36:23,933 --> 00:36:26,237
I am. Bagels and cream cheese
are truly the way to my heart.
791
00:36:26,371 --> 00:36:27,941
So if somebody did
792
00:36:28,007 --> 00:36:29,242
want to make you feel special,
they shouldn't send flowers.
793
00:36:29,376 --> 00:36:30,546
They should just send bagels?
794
00:36:31,213 --> 00:36:32,716
- Yes.
- Noted.
795
00:36:35,656 --> 00:36:37,225
I'm looking forward
to the tasting tomorrow.
796
00:36:38,328 --> 00:36:40,098
Me too.
797
00:36:40,231 --> 00:36:41,668
Yeah.
798
00:36:42,001 --> 00:36:43,939
Well, I should get going.
799
00:36:44,072 --> 00:36:47,847
Thank you again for getting me
out of that situation.
800
00:36:47,980 --> 00:36:49,984
Saving the day, literally.
801
00:36:50,117 --> 00:36:51,821
-Anytime.
-I appreciate it.
802
00:37:29,664 --> 00:37:30,966
You okay?
803
00:37:33,204 --> 00:37:34,473
Brooke. Are you okay?
804
00:37:34,907 --> 00:37:37,011
Yeah, I'm okay. I'm okay.
805
00:37:39,016 --> 00:37:41,387
Wait, you're not having second
thoughts, are you?
806
00:37:41,688 --> 00:37:43,525
Am I having second thoughts?
807
00:37:43,659 --> 00:37:45,796
No, I'm good. I'm good.
808
00:37:46,196 --> 00:37:49,403
You know, this is something
I need to do and I want to do.
809
00:37:49,538 --> 00:37:51,406
And let's do this.
810
00:37:51,908 --> 00:37:53,445
Yes, you can.
811
00:37:53,579 --> 00:37:55,081
Okay. Are you ready?
812
00:37:55,883 --> 00:37:59,690
We are live in
five four, four, three.
813
00:38:01,093 --> 00:38:02,797
Good morning, Ann Arbor.
814
00:38:02,931 --> 00:38:04,968
You are having Breakfast
with Brooke.
815
00:38:05,101 --> 00:38:09,109
And today we are doing something
that is so fun and different.
816
00:38:09,243 --> 00:38:11,414
My wonderful producer, Kenzie,
817
00:38:11,581 --> 00:38:13,986
came up with this idea
that I can't believe
818
00:38:14,119 --> 00:38:17,392
I agreed to, Brooke's
Blind Dates, where
819
00:38:17,526 --> 00:38:21,034
I will actually be going on
blind dates on-air
820
00:38:21,167 --> 00:38:23,371
live to help me find
821
00:38:23,505 --> 00:38:26,979
the perfect date
for our station's Christmas
822
00:38:27,112 --> 00:38:31,555
Eve party, where we will also
be broadcasting live.
823
00:38:31,688 --> 00:38:34,359
So that's what we're doing.
824
00:38:34,492 --> 00:38:35,462
Are you ready
for the first blind date?
825
00:38:35,596 --> 00:38:37,700
-Yes, I am.
-Okay.
826
00:38:37,834 --> 00:38:39,336
-His name is Chris.
-Okay.
827
00:38:39,470 --> 00:38:40,806
He is forty-two.
828
00:38:40,940 --> 00:38:42,777
He's a single dad
who lives in Birmingham
829
00:38:42,911 --> 00:38:44,547
with his two golden
retrievers.
830
00:38:44,681 --> 00:38:47,485
His son just started
his freshman year at Berkeley.
831
00:38:47,620 --> 00:38:50,158
Okay Chris, you are having
Breakfast with Brooke.
832
00:38:50,291 --> 00:38:52,462
Hi. It's so
nice to meet you.
833
00:38:52,963 --> 00:38:55,401
Oh, it's so nice to meet you,
too, Chris.
834
00:38:55,536 --> 00:38:57,673
It sounds like
you probably know
835
00:38:57,807 --> 00:39:00,713
a little bit about me
if you listen to this show.
836
00:39:00,846 --> 00:39:04,119
So maybe tell
me some things about you?
837
00:39:06,023 --> 00:39:08,628
Oh, okay.
Well, that was today's show.
838
00:39:08,762 --> 00:39:11,033
Thank you so much
for all of you
839
00:39:11,166 --> 00:39:12,937
joining me for breakfast.
840
00:39:13,906 --> 00:39:14,875
And the next time
841
00:39:15,008 --> 00:39:17,714
we will all find out who
my blind date
842
00:39:17,847 --> 00:39:20,418
is that my producer Kenzie
843
00:39:20,553 --> 00:39:21,654
has picked for me.
844
00:39:22,690 --> 00:39:25,027
Hey, Chris.
Great job today.
845
00:39:25,161 --> 00:39:28,234
Would you like to go
on a second date with Brooke?
846
00:39:28,367 --> 00:39:29,738
Oh, you would? Fantastic.
847
00:39:29,871 --> 00:39:32,710
Okay, let me give you
some date options.
848
00:39:33,277 --> 00:39:35,649
Yes, I will send these over
right now. Thanks, Chris.
849
00:39:36,784 --> 00:39:38,221
- Hey.
- Hey.
850
00:39:38,354 --> 00:39:39,557
How do you think the show went?
851
00:39:39,690 --> 00:39:41,561
I don't know.
How do you think it went?
852
00:39:41,794 --> 00:39:43,264
I thought it was good.
853
00:39:43,397 --> 00:39:45,167
-You do? Really?
-Yes, I like him a lot.
854
00:39:45,401 --> 00:39:46,538
I think we should
855
00:39:46,905 --> 00:39:49,109
bring him into the studio
for a live on-air date.
856
00:39:49,242 --> 00:39:51,413
Well, you're the producer.
857
00:39:51,547 --> 00:39:54,019
I, I do have to step out.
858
00:39:54,153 --> 00:39:56,123
Oh, but what about our content
planning meeting?
859
00:39:56,625 --> 00:39:58,929
I need to push it
to, like, six-ish.
860
00:39:59,062 --> 00:40:00,933
-Six-ish.
-Six-ish.
861
00:40:01,067 --> 00:40:03,070
That's not going to be
a problem.
862
00:40:03,204 --> 00:40:04,306
-Right?
-Right.
863
00:40:04,541 --> 00:40:06,443
-Yeah. Six-ish is fine.
-Yeah, thank you.
864
00:40:06,578 --> 00:40:09,316
-I'm excited about this.
-Yeah. Good show today.
865
00:40:09,449 --> 00:40:10,553
Thank you.
866
00:40:25,348 --> 00:40:28,454
Someone's in a good mood.
867
00:40:30,257 --> 00:40:32,530
Yeah, sorry. I didn't realize
anyone was here.
868
00:40:32,664 --> 00:40:35,536
That's okay, man.
I know that dance.
869
00:40:35,903 --> 00:40:38,041
Either you got a promotion,
which I know hasn't happened yet
870
00:40:38,174 --> 00:40:40,880
but I do hear is coming.
871
00:40:41,515 --> 00:40:43,685
So if it's not that.
What's her name?
872
00:40:44,621 --> 00:40:46,992
- No.
- Come on.
873
00:40:47,258 --> 00:40:48,996
Come on, I know you too well.
There's someone.
874
00:40:49,496 --> 00:40:50,565
Tell me, what's her
name? Come on.
875
00:40:50,699 --> 00:40:52,503
I'm not
ready to share her name.
876
00:40:53,705 --> 00:40:55,241
Okay, I hear you.
877
00:40:56,176 --> 00:40:57,613
Well, if she's got you doing
the Ben
878
00:40:57,813 --> 00:40:59,517
happy dance, then
she must be pretty special.
879
00:41:00,685 --> 00:41:02,589
Yeah, I think she might be.
880
00:41:12,576 --> 00:41:14,580
Hey.
881
00:41:14,814 --> 00:41:16,016
What are you doing here?
882
00:41:16,951 --> 00:41:18,320
I thought you were at work.
883
00:41:18,454 --> 00:41:19,256
Well, I'm not.
884
00:41:19,322 --> 00:41:21,226
Yeah, well, Ava
885
00:41:21,359 --> 00:41:22,997
called me and told me there's
a leak underneath the sink.
886
00:41:23,064 --> 00:41:25,334
We all know how you put off
887
00:41:25,468 --> 00:41:26,604
home repairs
to the last minute.
888
00:41:26,738 --> 00:41:27,940
Yeah, we do.
889
00:41:28,274 --> 00:41:31,380
- But it's because I'm busy.
- Right. Yeah.
890
00:41:31,915 --> 00:41:34,252
So I thought I'd fix it before
891
00:41:34,385 --> 00:41:35,555
it became an actual problem.
892
00:41:36,591 --> 00:41:38,293
Well, thank you.
That was very nice of you.
893
00:41:38,427 --> 00:41:39,463
Of course.
894
00:41:39,597 --> 00:41:42,569
So, I heard the show today.
895
00:41:43,237 --> 00:41:44,641
-You did?
-Yeah.
896
00:41:44,774 --> 00:41:46,911
I'm glad you're
getting out there.
897
00:41:48,247 --> 00:41:49,784
Thank you.
898
00:41:49,917 --> 00:41:52,288
I'm glad you're
getting out there, too.
899
00:41:57,332 --> 00:42:00,806
So, things are good?
900
00:42:01,406 --> 00:42:03,377
Their wonderful. Can't you tell?
901
00:42:04,112 --> 00:42:06,350
- Yeah, you look--
- I'm joking.
902
00:42:06,818 --> 00:42:08,622
I'm actually not. Things are so
different right now,
903
00:42:09,289 --> 00:42:12,095
but I am working really hard
to try to find a better
904
00:42:12,228 --> 00:42:15,802
balance
between work and life.
905
00:42:17,138 --> 00:42:18,775
You've been
saying that for years.
906
00:42:20,211 --> 00:42:21,647
I know I have. I am.
907
00:42:21,881 --> 00:42:24,754
I'm sorry
that it's taken me so long.
908
00:42:28,127 --> 00:42:30,699
I've always wanted
you to be happy,
909
00:42:30,833 --> 00:42:31,768
you know that.
910
00:42:31,902 --> 00:42:34,273
I know.
911
00:42:37,613 --> 00:42:41,220
Well, you're here, and
you already unlocked my door.
912
00:42:41,353 --> 00:42:43,423
Do you want to come in
for a minute?
913
00:42:43,558 --> 00:42:45,094
I'd love that.
914
00:42:45,227 --> 00:42:46,965
Okay. Good. Come in then.
915
00:42:47,933 --> 00:42:50,237
-Let me get that for you.
-Well thank you so much.
916
00:42:52,074 --> 00:42:54,747
Glad you're here.
917
00:43:27,546 --> 00:43:31,588
Do you remember when she became
so obsessed with those poppers
918
00:43:31,721 --> 00:43:33,725
that your Mom
would have at Christmas?
919
00:43:33,859 --> 00:43:35,027
My mom came back from England?
920
00:43:35,161 --> 00:43:36,764
-Yes, I remember that.
-Yes. Yes.
921
00:43:36,897 --> 00:43:40,037
And then Eva wanted it
at every single holiday.
922
00:43:40,171 --> 00:43:41,607
And your Mom? She's so sweet.
923
00:43:41,741 --> 00:43:43,377
She even had it
for Saint Patty's Day
924
00:43:43,512 --> 00:43:45,749
with the little green
shamrock.
925
00:43:45,882 --> 00:43:49,823
She's, she's amazing.
926
00:43:50,357 --> 00:43:51,827
Sorry.
927
00:43:53,998 --> 00:43:55,367
Just give me a second.
928
00:44:21,654 --> 00:44:22,823
Thank you.
929
00:45:02,268 --> 00:45:05,742
Todd, my meeting was canceled,
but I thought maybe
930
00:45:05,875 --> 00:45:09,015
we could find those poppers
and surprise Ava.
931
00:45:16,062 --> 00:45:17,566
That would be amazing.
932
00:45:17,699 --> 00:45:19,402
- Really?
- Yes.
933
00:45:21,473 --> 00:45:22,375
Of course.
934
00:45:29,222 --> 00:45:30,725
Hi. Hi.
935
00:45:30,859 --> 00:45:33,798
-I am so sorry I'm late.
-Hi. No worries.
936
00:45:35,201 --> 00:45:36,538
- Everything okay today?
- Yes.
937
00:45:36,905 --> 00:45:39,042
Yes, everything's great.
938
00:45:39,175 --> 00:45:41,413
Oh, okay.
939
00:45:41,548 --> 00:45:42,783
They started driving on
940
00:45:43,217 --> 00:45:45,422
the lake with the jet ski,
and I'm on these pool noodles.
941
00:45:45,556 --> 00:45:47,727
I, I ate it so bad.
942
00:45:47,860 --> 00:45:49,564
It's not a real story.
Are you serious?
943
00:45:49,697 --> 00:45:51,032
Yes, one hundred percent.
944
00:45:51,166 --> 00:45:52,401
I mean, they were
the cool kids at summer camp.
945
00:45:52,536 --> 00:45:54,339
I believed them.
I thought it was possible.
946
00:45:55,107 --> 00:45:57,245
I am so sorry
that that happened to you.
947
00:45:57,947 --> 00:46:00,786
I was okay.
Water is mildly forgiving.
948
00:46:01,153 --> 00:46:02,321
I had a lot of fun.
949
00:46:02,388 --> 00:46:04,025
It was wonderful.
It was a good time.
950
00:46:06,597 --> 00:46:09,102
Well, Mr. Fancy Food Writer man.
951
00:46:09,235 --> 00:46:11,406
Do you have anything else
fun lined up after this?
952
00:46:13,110 --> 00:46:14,814
I actually am going to be
doing the tasting
953
00:46:14,947 --> 00:46:17,385
for the new O Wine Bar
that's opening up.
954
00:46:17,586 --> 00:46:20,458
Oh, cool. That's the Danson
brother's place, right?
955
00:46:21,093 --> 00:46:23,063
Yeah. Yeah.
How did you know?
956
00:46:23,632 --> 00:46:24,533
Are you a foodie?
957
00:46:25,467 --> 00:46:26,804
Aspiring.
958
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:29,576
That's a thing.
959
00:46:29,710 --> 00:46:31,881
I am allowed a guest
if you want to join me.
960
00:46:33,016 --> 00:46:35,922
-I mean, if--
-Yeah, yeah. I mean...
961
00:46:36,056 --> 00:46:37,225
I mean,
I don't know if there's, like,
962
00:46:37,358 --> 00:46:40,330
somebody who deserves it
more than me.
963
00:46:40,899 --> 00:46:43,404
Deserves it, what?
964
00:46:43,738 --> 00:46:45,776
Yeah, like a girlfriend or,
965
00:46:45,909 --> 00:46:48,548
I don't know,
some special person.
966
00:46:50,652 --> 00:46:51,955
There's no girlfriend.
967
00:46:52,021 --> 00:46:53,424
And the only one
special in my life is my mom.
968
00:46:54,459 --> 00:46:58,033
That's so cute.
You're so cute.
969
00:47:01,841 --> 00:47:02,976
So, I mean,
if you don't want to go--
970
00:47:03,110 --> 00:47:04,614
No, no, I do. I do.
I do want to go.
971
00:47:04,747 --> 00:47:06,884
I do. I would. I, yes.
972
00:47:07,017 --> 00:47:08,453
-Yeah.
-Okay, great.
973
00:47:08,588 --> 00:47:10,357
Because I think it'd be a
lot more fun with you there.
974
00:47:14,098 --> 00:47:17,740
Oh, sorry.
975
00:47:18,140 --> 00:47:20,445
I have a ninety-seven alarm
set to remind me
976
00:47:20,579 --> 00:47:22,783
to do some writing
for the show tonight.
977
00:47:22,916 --> 00:47:24,520
Some questions
for the blind dates.
978
00:47:26,891 --> 00:47:28,193
Brooke keeps you pretty busy.
979
00:47:29,162 --> 00:47:31,834
Yeah, but I'm happy to do it.
980
00:47:32,101 --> 00:47:33,403
Brooke works
better from an outline
981
00:47:33,538 --> 00:47:35,375
and makes the show flow
better.
982
00:47:35,509 --> 00:47:37,445
Plus, this blind date
thing is kind of
983
00:47:37,679 --> 00:47:39,984
the most important thing
that we've ever done.
984
00:47:40,117 --> 00:47:42,288
So I want to make sure
that it is perfect.
985
00:47:42,422 --> 00:47:43,725
She's very lucky to have you.
986
00:47:44,259 --> 00:47:46,229
Well, I'm lucky to
work on a hit show.
987
00:47:47,633 --> 00:47:50,304
Have you ever thought
about having your own show?
988
00:47:50,438 --> 00:47:52,642
Just a talk show. I think you'd
make a great host.
989
00:47:53,679 --> 00:47:56,584
No, I mean,
990
00:47:56,718 --> 00:47:58,253
yeah, I've like,
991
00:47:58,387 --> 00:48:00,692
like, maybe thought
of thought, but I don't know.
992
00:48:00,826 --> 00:48:01,961
No, no, I'm, I'm,
993
00:48:02,094 --> 00:48:03,865
I'm a behind the scenes gal.
994
00:48:03,998 --> 00:48:05,903
It's just, that's how
it's always been.
995
00:48:06,203 --> 00:48:07,338
Plus,
I don't think anybody would
996
00:48:07,472 --> 00:48:09,175
really care
about what I had to say.
997
00:48:09,309 --> 00:48:10,879
That's
absolutely not true.
998
00:48:11,013 --> 00:48:12,148
I'd care what you have to say.
999
00:48:13,050 --> 00:48:14,520
Really?
1000
00:48:14,653 --> 00:48:16,657
I think you have
a lot of great things to say.
1001
00:48:19,830 --> 00:48:24,472
Well, that's very sweet.
Thank you. This was very nice.
1002
00:48:26,744 --> 00:48:28,380
Thank you, again.
1003
00:48:29,584 --> 00:48:31,486
No problem. Again.
1004
00:48:34,927 --> 00:48:35,962
So, did you like
the cheesecake
1005
00:48:36,096 --> 00:48:37,331
or the chocolate cake better?
1006
00:48:37,733 --> 00:48:39,637
Which one's getting the
the five star review from Mr.
1007
00:48:39,770 --> 00:48:41,339
Fancy Food Writer man?
1008
00:48:42,041 --> 00:48:43,845
Oh, my gosh,
you have to invite Ben
1009
00:48:43,978 --> 00:48:45,114
to the Christmas Eve party.
1010
00:48:45,247 --> 00:48:47,251
He's totally into you.
1011
00:48:48,053 --> 00:48:50,224
Come on.
It'd be so romantic.
1012
00:48:52,328 --> 00:48:54,767
Okay. Yeah, I'll invite him.
1013
00:48:54,900 --> 00:48:56,336
I'm so happy for you.
1014
00:48:57,071 --> 00:48:58,775
What if he doesn't say yes?
1015
00:48:58,908 --> 00:49:00,210
He's going to say yes.
1016
00:49:01,313 --> 00:49:03,450
Do you think
he's going to say yes?
1017
00:49:03,718 --> 00:49:04,887
Yes, he will.
1018
00:49:11,233 --> 00:49:13,604
Can I help you with
something, Maya?
1019
00:49:15,240 --> 00:49:18,347
Right, um. Okay,
so I was thinking.
1020
00:49:19,015 --> 00:49:20,585
Me and Liam should coordinate,
right?
1021
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:22,889
Like I'll get him a sparkly
pink tie to match what I'm
1022
00:49:23,023 --> 00:49:24,793
wearing or a vest.
1023
00:49:25,260 --> 00:49:26,631
Liam would look fire in a vest.
1024
00:49:26,764 --> 00:49:28,367
I call dibs on
officiating this wedding.
1025
00:49:28,702 --> 00:49:31,272
- Duh!
- Oh, no.
1026
00:49:33,878 --> 00:49:35,281
Wait, what?
1027
00:49:35,615 --> 00:49:38,420
What?
Let me see, let me see!
1028
00:49:39,523 --> 00:49:42,094
Oh, it's him.
1029
00:49:42,428 --> 00:49:44,198
That's your new hottie.
1030
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:48,574
Oh. Why is he applying
to go on a date with Brooke?
1031
00:49:48,708 --> 00:49:49,810
I don't know.
1032
00:49:50,310 --> 00:49:52,414
Wait, was he just using you
to get to Brooke?
1033
00:49:54,953 --> 00:49:57,191
Of course he isn't into me.
He is into Brooke.
1034
00:49:57,324 --> 00:49:58,962
Well, I mean,
that was just one theory.
1035
00:49:59,095 --> 00:50:00,497
Why else would he submit
an application?
1036
00:50:01,199 --> 00:50:03,069
Is the whole thing filled out?
1037
00:50:03,203 --> 00:50:04,239
Maybe it was a mistake.
1038
00:50:04,372 --> 00:50:05,942
"Hi, my name is Ben.
1039
00:50:06,075 --> 00:50:07,946
I'm 37,
and I work as a lifestyle
1040
00:50:08,079 --> 00:50:09,650
writer for Topline
Papers. I'm
1041
00:50:09,783 --> 00:50:11,553
looking for someone to join me
on this journey of life. Someone
1042
00:50:11,687 --> 00:50:15,093
who is up for adventure, romance
and a little spontaneity.
1043
00:50:15,227 --> 00:50:17,165
Someone who is fun loving, who
1044
00:50:17,298 --> 00:50:19,468
I can share
new experiences with."
1045
00:50:20,805 --> 00:50:22,877
Well, um.
1046
00:50:23,010 --> 00:50:24,312
If he
wants to go out with Brooke
1047
00:50:24,445 --> 00:50:25,782
so bad, let's
just give him what he wants.
1048
00:50:25,915 --> 00:50:27,252
-You sure?
-No.
1049
00:50:27,385 --> 00:50:28,788
But I do need
to get back to work
1050
00:50:28,922 --> 00:50:31,426
because Brooke has her in-studio
dates this week, so.
1051
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:33,130
Okay, well, I'm sending you
all the good vibes
1052
00:50:33,263 --> 00:50:34,934
to find a little holiday
romance.
1053
00:50:35,836 --> 00:50:37,772
That doesn't involve the guy
that you have a crush on.
1054
00:50:39,376 --> 00:50:42,549
- Right. Thanks. Bye.
- Bye!
1055
00:50:53,638 --> 00:50:56,009
Wait. You've never changed
your own tire?
1056
00:50:56,143 --> 00:50:57,579
No, and I know, I know.
1057
00:50:57,713 --> 00:51:01,052
I do pride myself on not
having any handyman skills.
1058
00:51:01,185 --> 00:51:03,992
You know, my hus-- um.
1059
00:51:04,192 --> 00:51:06,731
Actually, I hire
someone to do that stuff.
1060
00:51:06,864 --> 00:51:08,166
Well,
1061
00:51:08,299 --> 00:51:11,106
I'd be happy to teach you
the basics sometime.
1062
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:12,642
Maybe we could grab dinner,
1063
00:51:12,776 --> 00:51:14,846
and then I could teach
you how to check your oil.
1064
00:51:18,955 --> 00:51:20,224
That was a joke.
1065
00:51:20,358 --> 00:51:23,297
I'd love
to just take you to dinner.
1066
00:51:23,430 --> 00:51:25,200
Your joke wasn't funny.
1067
00:51:26,604 --> 00:51:29,610
I meant I'd rather
take you to dinner.
1068
00:51:30,545 --> 00:51:32,315
Sounds like your
daughter is really amazing.
1069
00:51:32,448 --> 00:51:34,520
Oh, she is. Thank you.
1070
00:51:34,653 --> 00:51:37,424
Honestly, I never
thought I would have kids.
1071
00:51:37,892 --> 00:51:40,364
Oh, so you don't like kids?
1072
00:51:40,498 --> 00:51:42,670
No. I mean, I didn't say
I don't like kids.
1073
00:51:42,803 --> 00:51:44,707
Since
I just put my career first.
1074
00:51:44,840 --> 00:51:47,145
Oh, because I have a
career my child suffered?
1075
00:51:47,278 --> 00:51:48,614
That's not what I meant at all.
1076
00:51:48,748 --> 00:51:50,619
It kind of came off that way,
I have to say.
1077
00:51:50,752 --> 00:51:52,689
When was the last time
you got a sound bath?
1078
00:51:53,825 --> 00:51:54,693
A what?
1079
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:56,797
You aura is a bit dirty.
1080
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:00,638
-My what?
-Your aura.
1081
00:52:03,210 --> 00:52:04,579
It's messy.
1082
00:52:06,349 --> 00:52:07,686
My aura is dirty?
1083
00:52:10,191 --> 00:52:11,426
Repeat after me.
1084
00:52:13,030 --> 00:52:17,438
Ohm.
1085
00:52:18,708 --> 00:52:20,410
I just don't understand
what the problem is.
1086
00:52:20,545 --> 00:52:22,114
I just don't like any of them.
1087
00:52:22,248 --> 00:52:23,518
Okay, but can you tell me why?
1088
00:52:24,419 --> 00:52:27,225
Other than,
"Your aura is dirty" guy.
1089
00:52:28,093 --> 00:52:29,730
Okay. Yeah, that one was weird.
I'll give you that.
1090
00:52:29,863 --> 00:52:31,801
But the other two,
they seem nice?
1091
00:52:31,935 --> 00:52:33,638
-What's wrong with them?
-I don't know. I don't know.
1092
00:52:33,771 --> 00:52:35,307
I just,
I just think that we need
1093
00:52:35,441 --> 00:52:36,744
another gimmick
for our segment.
1094
00:52:36,877 --> 00:52:38,681
Okay, well,
it's a little late for that.
1095
00:52:38,814 --> 00:52:41,754
We need to stick with
what we've got or...
1096
00:52:42,421 --> 00:52:44,826
-Kenzie.
-There is one more guy.
1097
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:47,164
Look, I appreciate everything
you're trying to do.
1098
00:52:47,297 --> 00:52:49,102
One more day, please.
1099
00:52:49,736 --> 00:52:51,540
I know that
I can give you the perfect one
1100
00:52:51,673 --> 00:52:53,310
and give our listeners
and our bosses
1101
00:52:53,444 --> 00:52:54,814
exactly what they want.
1102
00:52:54,947 --> 00:52:57,217
You. Romance. Christmas.
1103
00:52:58,654 --> 00:53:02,929
-Fine. One more.
-Great. One more date.
1104
00:53:03,765 --> 00:53:05,200
One more date.
1105
00:53:42,943 --> 00:53:45,948
Hi. This is Kenzie Parker
from Breakfast with Brooke.
1106
00:53:46,617 --> 00:53:47,519
Hey you.
1107
00:53:48,420 --> 00:53:51,459
We received your
application and--
1108
00:53:51,995 --> 00:53:53,196
I'm sorry. What?
1109
00:53:53,698 --> 00:53:56,169
Your application from the WKPC
1110
00:53:56,303 --> 00:53:58,240
site to go on a date
with Brooke?
1111
00:53:58,373 --> 00:54:00,044
Anyway, our team
reviewed your profile,
1112
00:54:00,177 --> 00:54:03,116
and we think that you would be
a good fit for Brooke.
1113
00:54:03,250 --> 00:54:05,856
Anyway, I just wanted to let
you know that our team
1114
00:54:05,989 --> 00:54:07,625
was pushing your application
to the next round,
1115
00:54:07,759 --> 00:54:10,363
so I will be in touch to set
up a date.
1116
00:54:10,497 --> 00:54:11,867
Talk to you soon.
1117
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:13,537
Hello?
1118
00:54:39,957 --> 00:54:41,259
Thank you.
1119
00:54:41,660 --> 00:54:44,699
Mm. This looks delicious.
1120
00:54:44,833 --> 00:54:46,068
Thanks.
1121
00:54:46,803 --> 00:54:48,373
I'm sorry I was late again.
1122
00:54:48,508 --> 00:54:50,578
I took Maya drink after work.
1123
00:54:50,712 --> 00:54:52,615
It's fine. That's fine.
1124
00:54:52,749 --> 00:54:54,151
The game doesn't start for
another thirty minutes,
1125
00:54:54,285 --> 00:54:55,387
you're okay.
1126
00:54:56,857 --> 00:54:59,162
Are you?
1127
00:54:59,295 --> 00:55:00,464
You just seem like you're
1128
00:55:00,598 --> 00:55:02,000
really falling
for this girl, huh?
1129
00:55:03,771 --> 00:55:06,442
I'd be lying
if I said I didn't.
1130
00:55:06,577 --> 00:55:09,749
That's great. That's great.
And I'm happy for you.
1131
00:55:09,883 --> 00:55:11,286
So how about you?
1132
00:55:11,419 --> 00:55:12,789
How's things with mystery girl?
1133
00:55:13,991 --> 00:55:15,628
She must work in our office
building.
1134
00:55:15,762 --> 00:55:17,966
She'd be wearing far
too much cologne to do the work.
1135
00:55:20,572 --> 00:55:23,042
Yes, I completely misread
that situation, actually.
1136
00:55:24,211 --> 00:55:25,414
You know, she called today
1137
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:26,784
to set me up on a date
with her boss.
1138
00:55:26,918 --> 00:55:27,919
Wait, what?
1139
00:55:28,386 --> 00:55:31,359
Yeah. The radio shows doing
this whole blind date thing.
1140
00:55:32,028 --> 00:55:33,932
Anyway.
1141
00:55:34,132 --> 00:55:37,739
Turns out, I think she was just
vetting me for her boss, so.
1142
00:55:39,408 --> 00:55:40,578
Are you going to go?
1143
00:55:42,582 --> 00:55:44,285
What, on the blind date?
1144
00:55:44,418 --> 00:55:45,755
No. I mean, I don't know.
1145
00:55:45,889 --> 00:55:47,258
She was really pushing for it.
1146
00:55:47,893 --> 00:55:50,364
It sounds like
you might be doing
1147
00:55:50,497 --> 00:55:53,036
mystery girl a favor
if you do.
1148
00:55:53,838 --> 00:55:55,007
Who is her boss?
1149
00:55:55,809 --> 00:55:59,149
Brooke
Walkins and mystery girl.
1150
00:55:59,282 --> 00:56:00,317
She's no longer a mystery.
1151
00:56:00,450 --> 00:56:02,255
It's her producer, Kenzie.
1152
00:56:02,388 --> 00:56:03,758
Best friend, Kenzie.
1153
00:56:03,891 --> 00:56:05,562
I think I met her with Maya
and Brooke Walkin.
1154
00:56:05,695 --> 00:56:07,565
She's a legend.
1155
00:56:07,899 --> 00:56:09,235
You've got to go.
1156
00:56:09,469 --> 00:56:12,107
And maybe then
we can do double dates.
1157
00:56:13,644 --> 00:56:15,548
Come on. It'll be fun.
1158
00:56:15,815 --> 00:56:20,157
I have tons of fun
in my life. Ask Mr. Bubbles.
1159
00:56:20,658 --> 00:56:22,629
- Loads of fun.
- Yeah, totally.
1160
00:56:23,565 --> 00:56:24,498
And the groundhog
on Groundhog's Day
1161
00:56:24,633 --> 00:56:26,536
is always right.
1162
00:56:31,847 --> 00:56:34,219
I hoped I'd find you here.
1163
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:36,857
Well,
I am a creature of habit.
1164
00:56:39,061 --> 00:56:41,032
Excited for your phone date
with Brooke today?
1165
00:56:41,265 --> 00:56:42,836
Oh, yeah? Yeah.
1166
00:56:42,969 --> 00:56:44,438
Turns out everyone in
my family is a big,
1167
00:56:44,573 --> 00:56:45,975
big fan of hers.
1168
00:56:46,108 --> 00:56:48,079
Well, there's a
lot to be a fan of.
1169
00:56:48,714 --> 00:56:50,719
I think you two are
going to be a great fit.
1170
00:56:50,919 --> 00:56:52,087
I can feel it.
1171
00:56:52,454 --> 00:56:53,924
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
1172
00:56:54,125 --> 00:56:57,565
So just be yourself,
and I know Brooke will love you.
1173
00:56:59,603 --> 00:57:00,972
See ya.
1174
00:57:03,276 --> 00:57:06,016
Okay, I guess it's
that point in the show
1175
00:57:06,449 --> 00:57:09,054
for Brooke's Blind Dates.
1176
00:57:09,188 --> 00:57:11,426
Kenzie, do we have one?
1177
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:13,163
We have Ben Covington.
1178
00:57:13,296 --> 00:57:14,766
He is thirty-eight.
1179
00:57:15,233 --> 00:57:17,471
He is a lifestyle writer
for Topline Papers,
1180
00:57:17,605 --> 00:57:19,475
and he's a really great guy.
1181
00:57:19,609 --> 00:57:21,178
He sounds very interesting.
1182
00:57:21,312 --> 00:57:23,584
Yes. Yes.
And he is on the line.
1183
00:57:23,717 --> 00:57:26,189
Ben, you are having Breakfast
with Brooke.
1184
00:57:26,456 --> 00:57:27,693
Well, hey there.
1185
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:30,865
Hey, Ben. It's so great
to meet you on-air.
1186
00:57:31,165 --> 00:57:34,172
It's nice to on the air,
meet you, too.
1187
00:57:34,305 --> 00:57:35,708
Thank you.
1188
00:57:35,842 --> 00:57:36,910
Kenzie speaks really
highly of you.
1189
00:57:36,977 --> 00:57:38,580
Oh, thank you.
1190
00:57:38,714 --> 00:57:40,316
Actually,
I pay her to do that.
1191
00:57:42,288 --> 00:57:44,058
The natural way, by far,
is the most important thing
1192
00:57:44,191 --> 00:57:45,595
in any home.
1193
00:57:45,729 --> 00:57:47,264
No, I absolutely
disagree with that.
1194
00:57:47,331 --> 00:57:48,968
The size of the kitchen
is the most important thing
1195
00:57:49,035 --> 00:57:50,203
in a home.
1196
00:57:50,270 --> 00:57:51,272
Hey, size
isn't everything.
1197
00:57:53,242 --> 00:57:55,147
I love to cook.
I think cooking
1198
00:57:55,214 --> 00:57:57,519
is one of the most romantic
things you can do with someone.
1199
00:57:57,652 --> 00:57:59,322
I do, too.
1200
00:57:59,388 --> 00:58:01,660
I love cooking with someone.
1201
00:58:02,027 --> 00:58:03,731
So what's favorite thing
to make?
1202
00:58:03,865 --> 00:58:05,835
My Mom's blueberry
pancakes.
1203
00:58:06,035 --> 00:58:07,605
Where are you
on the scale for breakfast food?
1204
00:58:08,006 --> 00:58:09,944
Even though
my show is Breakfast
1205
00:58:10,077 --> 00:58:13,584
with Brooke,
I kind of skip breakfast.
1206
00:58:13,717 --> 00:58:15,387
You skip breakfast
with yourself?
1207
00:58:15,522 --> 00:58:16,456
Yeah, I do.
1208
00:58:18,159 --> 00:58:19,495
I do love a good bagel,
though.
1209
00:58:21,332 --> 00:58:22,769
It's hard to deny
like a fresh baked bagel.
1210
00:58:22,903 --> 00:58:24,105
Do you like bagels?
1211
00:58:24,238 --> 00:58:25,374
Yes, sir. No, I agree.
1212
00:58:25,642 --> 00:58:27,311
He's the best choice
for Brooke.
1213
00:58:27,979 --> 00:58:29,883
Perfect. Okay.
I will let them know now.
1214
00:58:30,317 --> 00:58:31,787
Thank you.
1215
00:58:50,356 --> 00:58:51,593
Hey, you.
1216
00:58:54,799 --> 00:58:57,137
Are you happy with
how it went today?
1217
00:58:57,270 --> 00:58:58,373
Very.
1218
00:58:58,439 --> 00:58:59,743
So much so that we would like
to bring you
1219
00:58:59,877 --> 00:59:01,780
in for a live in-studio date.
1220
00:59:01,914 --> 00:59:03,818
Do you have any availability
this upcoming weekend?
1221
00:59:03,951 --> 00:59:06,088
You know Kenzie,
if you don't want me to--
1222
00:59:06,222 --> 00:59:08,292
I do. Like I said,
I think you and Brooke are
1223
00:59:08,426 --> 00:59:11,600
a great fit, so
I'll email you some options.
1224
00:59:12,201 --> 00:59:13,571
Okay. Talk soon.
1225
00:59:13,705 --> 00:59:18,079
Okay, bye.
1226
00:59:21,386 --> 00:59:22,856
How do you shred it?
1227
00:59:23,023 --> 00:59:25,694
You freeze it first and then
just take a cheese grater.
1228
00:59:25,828 --> 00:59:28,066
-The way that the fats meet.
-Oh my gosh, I didn't.
1229
00:59:28,199 --> 00:59:30,336
-That makes so much sense!
-Incredible. I'm telling you.
1230
00:59:30,470 --> 00:59:32,542
Hopefully it saves you
a few more hours than me.
1231
00:59:32,675 --> 00:59:33,577
Oh, my gosh. I can't wait.
1232
00:59:33,644 --> 00:59:35,013
Good morning.
1233
00:59:35,147 --> 00:59:37,084
Oh, morning.
1234
00:59:37,217 --> 00:59:38,152
Morning.
1235
00:59:38,286 --> 00:59:40,525
Morning. Hey. Um.
1236
00:59:40,658 --> 00:59:42,060
Should we go to the studio?
1237
00:59:43,564 --> 00:59:44,498
Sounds like our cue.
1238
00:59:44,632 --> 00:59:45,734
Great.
1239
00:59:48,407 --> 00:59:49,409
You coming?
1240
00:59:49,543 --> 00:59:51,078
Eventually.
1241
00:59:55,922 --> 01:00:00,731
Okay. We are
live in five, four, three.
1242
01:00:02,267 --> 01:00:03,637
Good morning, Ann Arbor.
1243
01:00:03,770 --> 01:00:06,644
You are listening
to Breakfast with Brooke.
1244
01:00:06,777 --> 01:00:10,518
And we have a very
special show for you today.
1245
01:00:10,652 --> 01:00:12,254
We have Ben here.
1246
01:00:12,454 --> 01:00:13,925
Thank you, it's actually really
nice to
1247
01:00:14,225 --> 01:00:16,362
-finally be here in person.
-Thank you for coming.
1248
01:00:16,495 --> 01:00:17,932
Thank you both for having.
1249
01:00:18,099 --> 01:00:21,339
The listeners were
very excited about you.
1250
01:00:21,472 --> 01:00:24,411
Well, it's nice not to get
voted off the island so early.
1251
01:00:24,546 --> 01:00:26,315
Exactly right.
Well, thank you.
1252
01:00:27,785 --> 01:00:29,221
I came prepared
1253
01:00:29,355 --> 01:00:31,527
to ask you a couple questions,
if that's all right.
1254
01:00:31,661 --> 01:00:32,795
Oh, really?
1255
01:00:32,929 --> 01:00:34,331
I love that.
I think it's great.
1256
01:00:34,465 --> 01:00:36,268
-Let's just cut to the chase.
-Right?
1257
01:00:36,837 --> 01:00:38,105
So Christmas.
1258
01:00:38,205 --> 01:00:39,175
- What about it?
- It's coming up.
1259
01:00:39,242 --> 01:00:40,310
It is coming up.
1260
01:00:40,376 --> 01:00:44,118
And since you boldly said
size matters.
1261
01:00:44,185 --> 01:00:45,453
Yes.
1262
01:00:45,521 --> 01:00:48,660
Big light bulbs
or little light bulbs?
1263
01:00:48,727 --> 01:00:51,165
- I like, um, both.
- Both?
1264
01:00:51,232 --> 01:00:54,171
Yes, I like to mix it up
a little bit.
1265
01:00:54,539 --> 01:00:56,075
What are your other questions?
1266
01:00:56,209 --> 01:00:58,614
I was curious
how you feel about presents.
1267
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:00,918
When's the right time to
open them?
1268
01:01:01,052 --> 01:01:03,256
Is it at Christmas Eve?
One present kind of thing?
1269
01:01:03,389 --> 01:01:06,296
Okay, so
when my daughter was younger,
1270
01:01:06,429 --> 01:01:09,603
I definitely waited
until Christmas morning.
1271
01:01:09,736 --> 01:01:10,938
Oh, you have a daughter?
1272
01:01:11,072 --> 01:01:12,441
- Yeah?
- Oh, yeah.
1273
01:01:12,576 --> 01:01:14,779
No, it's amazing. I actually
really admire that.
1274
01:01:15,547 --> 01:01:18,754
It's incredible for you to have
your own show and to still
1275
01:01:18,988 --> 01:01:21,158
take care of the family life
and it's really beautiful.
1276
01:01:21,291 --> 01:01:22,829
-Thank you. So, um.
-I really admire that.
1277
01:01:22,962 --> 01:01:24,498
You don't have kids?
1278
01:01:24,633 --> 01:01:26,402
I don't have any children. No.
1279
01:01:26,770 --> 01:01:28,172
And never been married?
1280
01:01:28,305 --> 01:01:31,780
I don't know if I should share
that on the air.
1281
01:01:35,721 --> 01:01:37,224
So I was engaged once,
1282
01:01:37,357 --> 01:01:39,461
and it obviously didn't
work out.
1283
01:01:39,595 --> 01:01:40,765
I'm here.
1284
01:01:40,898 --> 01:01:43,804
We decided to part ways
amicably.
1285
01:01:43,938 --> 01:01:45,708
So we're still friends.
1286
01:01:46,510 --> 01:01:48,146
And we just grew apart.
1287
01:02:00,505 --> 01:02:03,343
Okay. And that's all the time
that we have for today.
1288
01:02:03,477 --> 01:02:04,779
Oh, already?
1289
01:02:04,912 --> 01:02:06,583
I feel like
I could talk to you for hours.
1290
01:02:06,716 --> 01:02:07,852
-Yeah. Likewise.
-All righty.
1291
01:02:07,986 --> 01:02:09,388
Well,
I got to wrap up the show.
1292
01:02:09,522 --> 01:02:10,892
Don't take those off yet.
1293
01:02:11,025 --> 01:02:15,534
I'm sure all of our listeners
are loving Ben.
1294
01:02:16,101 --> 01:02:18,975
Of course. So, it was so great
to meet you in person.
1295
01:02:19,275 --> 01:02:21,513
Thank you so much for coming.
1296
01:02:21,780 --> 01:02:23,584
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
1297
01:02:23,718 --> 01:02:25,988
That's it for our show today.
1298
01:02:26,122 --> 01:02:27,726
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Great job, guys.
1299
01:02:27,893 --> 01:02:29,963
Great, great show.
Great show. Okay.
1300
01:02:30,364 --> 01:02:31,967
Yeah, we're out.
1301
01:02:32,903 --> 01:02:34,739
She seems
to be in a bit of a hurry.
1302
01:02:34,872 --> 01:02:37,244
Sorry, but thank you again.
1303
01:03:03,363 --> 01:03:04,498
Come in.
1304
01:03:05,534 --> 01:03:06,603
What's wrong?
1305
01:03:06,736 --> 01:03:08,507
Nothing. Nothing's wrong.
1306
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:10,644
I mean, we're,
we're saving the show, so.
1307
01:03:10,778 --> 01:03:12,414
That's good.
1308
01:03:12,915 --> 01:03:14,484
Well, then
why do you look so miserable?
1309
01:03:14,619 --> 01:03:16,021
I don't know.
1310
01:03:16,623 --> 01:03:19,061
I really like Ben. I do.
1311
01:03:20,598 --> 01:03:22,434
But he's not Todd.
1312
01:03:24,171 --> 01:03:26,309
I didn't realize that
Todd was an option.
1313
01:03:26,442 --> 01:03:27,612
Well, he's not.
1314
01:03:27,845 --> 01:03:30,417
I mean, he's obviously
and clearly moved on from me.
1315
01:03:30,551 --> 01:03:32,220
You saw his profile.
1316
01:03:32,354 --> 01:03:34,058
As long as I'm committed
to the show
1317
01:03:34,191 --> 01:03:35,995
and to the broadcast, he,
1318
01:03:36,128 --> 01:03:38,132
he doesn't
want to do it again, so.
1319
01:03:39,402 --> 01:03:40,403
I don't blame him.
1320
01:03:40,537 --> 01:03:42,073
Well,
have you told him that you're
1321
01:03:42,207 --> 01:03:43,476
having second thoughts
about the separation?
1322
01:03:43,611 --> 01:03:44,546
No, I haven't.
1323
01:03:44,679 --> 01:03:46,282
I mean, I made my bed
1324
01:03:46,415 --> 01:03:50,891
choosing the show,
so I got to, I got to lie in it.
1325
01:03:51,492 --> 01:03:53,964
Ladies.
1326
01:03:54,498 --> 01:03:55,668
Great news.
1327
01:03:56,001 --> 01:03:58,406
The station has picked your
date for the Christmas soiree.
1328
01:03:58,808 --> 01:04:01,145
Ben, the writer from Topline.
1329
01:04:01,279 --> 01:04:03,984
-Hmm. That's so great.
-So great.
1330
01:04:04,118 --> 01:04:05,889
And we're already talking
to Topline
1331
01:04:06,022 --> 01:04:07,658
about a potential partnership
for more
1332
01:04:07,792 --> 01:04:09,729
Brooke and Ben content.
1333
01:04:09,862 --> 01:04:13,703
So this could be huge
for all of us.
1334
01:04:13,837 --> 01:04:18,012
So just carry on and business
as usual. All right.
1335
01:04:19,481 --> 01:04:23,022
Okay. Well, the listeners,
they want a Christmas romance,
1336
01:04:23,155 --> 01:04:25,493
so let's give them a Christmas
romance, right?
1337
01:04:25,628 --> 01:04:27,932
Right. Yes.
1338
01:04:28,700 --> 01:04:30,738
All right. Well, okay.
1339
01:04:30,871 --> 01:04:32,541
Give me Ben's info, please.
1340
01:04:32,675 --> 01:04:36,381
I want to make this
as real as possible and
1341
01:04:36,516 --> 01:04:38,152
whatever. Who knows?
Maybe there's something there.
1342
01:04:38,687 --> 01:04:39,756
With us, right?
1343
01:04:39,956 --> 01:04:41,225
Right. Yes. Yes, of course.
1344
01:04:41,593 --> 01:04:42,862
Okay.
1345
01:04:43,296 --> 01:04:44,532
So who'd they pick?
1346
01:04:44,665 --> 01:04:45,567
I'm not telling you that.
1347
01:04:45,901 --> 01:04:47,037
Why not?
1348
01:04:47,104 --> 01:04:48,106
You have to find out
at the Christmas
1349
01:04:48,239 --> 01:04:50,076
soiree like everybody else.
1350
01:04:51,445 --> 01:04:52,948
It's Ben.
1351
01:04:54,819 --> 01:04:56,455
They're picking Ben.
1352
01:04:57,559 --> 01:04:58,527
Oh, my gosh.
1353
01:04:58,660 --> 01:05:00,296
-And your feelings for him.
-What?
1354
01:05:00,429 --> 01:05:03,335
No, I don't have feelings
for him. I don't.
1355
01:05:04,872 --> 01:05:08,245
Okay, I like maybe might be
in the vicinity of considering
1356
01:05:08,379 --> 01:05:11,252
having feelings for him,
but no, he's, he's
1357
01:05:11,385 --> 01:05:12,955
the station's pick, so I'm not
going to tell him that
1358
01:05:13,089 --> 01:05:15,193
-I have feelings for him.
-Ha! So you admit it.
1359
01:05:15,661 --> 01:05:19,736
I think that's so sweet
and super romantic.
1360
01:05:19,869 --> 01:05:21,105
Doesn't matter how I feel.
1361
01:05:21,238 --> 01:05:22,474
I have to do
what's best for the show.
1362
01:05:22,609 --> 01:05:24,278
What's best for Brooke.
1363
01:05:24,646 --> 01:05:27,150
Sorry. I got to take this.
See you later.
1364
01:06:10,503 --> 01:06:11,472
Hello?
1365
01:06:11,706 --> 01:06:13,075
- Ben Covington? Hi.
- Speaking.
1366
01:06:13,209 --> 01:06:14,579
My name is Mark Hanson,
1367
01:06:14,712 --> 01:06:16,449
and I'm the station manager
for WKPC.
1368
01:06:16,717 --> 01:06:19,421
Listen. We'd like to formally
invite you to the company
1369
01:06:19,556 --> 01:06:22,260
Christmas soiree tomorrow
as Brooke Walkins' date.
1370
01:06:22,528 --> 01:06:24,833
I'll have my assistant
send over all the details.
1371
01:06:24,966 --> 01:06:26,736
All right, chat soon.
1372
01:06:26,869 --> 01:06:28,239
Hello?
1373
01:06:31,012 --> 01:06:33,349
-Ho, ho, ho!
-Hi.
1374
01:06:34,050 --> 01:06:35,821
Okay, so that was genius.
1375
01:06:36,121 --> 01:06:37,592
I'm sorry. What was? What?
1376
01:06:38,092 --> 01:06:40,998
Going on Breakfast with Brooke?
1377
01:06:41,131 --> 01:06:43,069
The number of reads on
your articles
1378
01:06:43,202 --> 01:06:46,275
have been through the roof
since the show.
1379
01:06:46,409 --> 01:06:48,647
Partners
have really taken notice.
1380
01:06:48,781 --> 01:06:50,216
I'm impressed.
1381
01:06:59,702 --> 01:07:00,671
What?
1382
01:07:13,462 --> 01:07:15,266
Come in.
1383
01:07:19,809 --> 01:07:25,086
-Hey. Hey.
-Hey. Hi.
1384
01:07:25,921 --> 01:07:27,859
What are you doing here?
1385
01:07:27,992 --> 01:07:29,094
Oh, I was,
1386
01:07:29,929 --> 01:07:31,967
you know, just in the building
1387
01:07:32,100 --> 01:07:37,578
thought I'd swing by. See,
1388
01:07:37,645 --> 01:07:39,481
You don't still want to go
to the tasting at O Wine Bar
1389
01:07:39,616 --> 01:07:40,483
tonight, do you?
1390
01:07:41,252 --> 01:07:45,728
Oh, no, I probably shouldn't.
1391
01:07:46,195 --> 01:07:47,531
No. Yeah, of course.
1392
01:07:48,433 --> 01:07:49,635
Makes sense.
1393
01:07:52,641 --> 01:07:56,516
Kenzie, is, is everything okay?
1394
01:07:59,923 --> 01:08:01,526
I think so.
1395
01:08:02,961 --> 01:08:04,097
Okay.
1396
01:08:04,364 --> 01:08:06,569
Because I want you to know
that I--
1397
01:08:08,472 --> 01:08:11,478
You are more than welcome
to still come.
1398
01:08:15,086 --> 01:08:17,792
I need to get back to this.
I got a lot of work to do.
1399
01:08:18,326 --> 01:08:19,796
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
1400
01:08:19,929 --> 01:08:21,098
Of course.
1401
01:08:21,232 --> 01:08:22,367
Busy. Busy.
1402
01:08:22,500 --> 01:08:25,339
Yes. Yep, I am that.
1403
01:08:27,745 --> 01:08:29,549
I'll leave you to it.
I'll see you around.
1404
01:08:29,849 --> 01:08:31,519
Okay.
1405
01:09:03,248 --> 01:09:04,719
Hey, I just wanted to
1406
01:09:04,852 --> 01:09:06,756
catch you before
you went home for the night.
1407
01:09:06,890 --> 01:09:07,858
You're here late.
1408
01:09:08,225 --> 01:09:09,595
Yeah, I'm
1409
01:09:09,728 --> 01:09:11,899
still prepping
for the broadcast tomorrow.
1410
01:09:12,033 --> 01:09:13,469
You know
how live events can be.
1411
01:09:14,371 --> 01:09:15,774
Isn't that Brooke's job?
1412
01:09:15,907 --> 01:09:17,578
I guess. Technically, yeah.
1413
01:09:17,711 --> 01:09:19,381
But my parents don't fly
until Christmas morning,
1414
01:09:19,682 --> 01:09:21,452
and Brooke works
better from an outline,
1415
01:09:21,586 --> 01:09:23,156
so why not fill the time
with work?
1416
01:09:23,289 --> 01:09:24,759
She's lucky to have you.
1417
01:09:25,226 --> 01:09:28,165
And great job finding her
the perfect date for the party.
1418
01:09:28,633 --> 01:09:31,171
Ben is polling high
with our listeners.
1419
01:09:32,007 --> 01:09:33,342
It's so great.
1420
01:09:33,877 --> 01:09:36,181
And I'm sure I don't have
to remind you of the stakes.
1421
01:09:37,350 --> 01:09:38,620
You need to bring the romance.
1422
01:09:38,753 --> 01:09:40,991
And Brooke needs
her magical Christmas happy
1423
01:09:41,124 --> 01:09:43,797
ending, or suits upstairs are--
1424
01:09:43,931 --> 01:09:45,199
Yes, I got it.
1425
01:09:45,333 --> 01:09:47,871
It will happen, Brooke.
Christmas romance
1426
01:09:48,405 --> 01:09:49,842
-Goodnight.
-Goodnight.
1427
01:09:53,316 --> 01:09:55,821
What is it, dear?
1428
01:09:56,756 --> 01:09:58,425
Nothing.
Nothing. Mom, I'm fine.
1429
01:09:58,693 --> 01:10:01,532
I know you, son.
What's going on?
1430
01:10:03,469 --> 01:10:04,772
I have a lot on my mind.
1431
01:10:04,972 --> 01:10:07,678
Would it have to do
with a certain radio host?
1432
01:10:07,811 --> 01:10:09,815
It seems like the two of
you really hit it off.
1433
01:10:09,949 --> 01:10:13,388
I mean, of course I voted for
you on the WKPC website
1434
01:10:13,523 --> 01:10:16,495
and I told all the ladies
at pickleball to vote, too.
1435
01:10:16,629 --> 01:10:19,400
Thank you, Mom. Thank you.
1436
01:10:21,038 --> 01:10:22,541
I like Brooke a lot.
1437
01:10:22,675 --> 01:10:24,579
She seems like a great woman,
1438
01:10:24,712 --> 01:10:28,520
but I don't know all that
fashion pizzazz.
1439
01:10:28,654 --> 01:10:31,225
Well, she's a celebrity,
you know?
1440
01:10:31,358 --> 01:10:33,597
I mean, don't get me wrong,
It is very cool.
1441
01:10:33,730 --> 01:10:35,635
But the more I think about it,
the more I'm
1442
01:10:35,768 --> 01:10:38,372
just not
sure she's the woman for you.
1443
01:10:39,041 --> 01:10:40,443
What makes you say that?
1444
01:10:40,511 --> 01:10:41,580
Look, you don't light
up when you talk about it.
1445
01:10:41,746 --> 01:10:43,951
You get a bit excited. Sure.
1446
01:10:44,084 --> 01:10:46,288
But do you light up? No.
1447
01:10:47,023 --> 01:10:48,492
But it was worth a shot.
1448
01:10:48,626 --> 01:10:50,162
I mean, she is a local celebrity
1449
01:10:50,296 --> 01:10:51,398
I had to try.
1450
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:53,502
What do you mean?
1451
01:10:53,637 --> 01:10:55,674
Like you don't think they just
plucked you out of thin
1452
01:10:55,807 --> 01:10:58,412
air to go on a date
with Brooke, do you?
1453
01:10:58,547 --> 01:10:59,883
I thought her producer
set me up.
1454
01:11:00,016 --> 01:11:03,055
Her producer?
Honey no, I submitted you.
1455
01:11:03,189 --> 01:11:05,694
I filled out the application
form and everything.
1456
01:11:05,828 --> 01:11:07,931
Did a mighty good job of it.
If I say so myself.
1457
01:11:08,131 --> 01:11:11,171
No, I'm sorry, backup, what?
1458
01:11:11,304 --> 01:11:12,642
What did you just say?
1459
01:11:12,775 --> 01:11:14,979
Pickleball ladies and I
were brainstorming on
1460
01:11:15,112 --> 01:11:17,250
who we could submit to go
on the blind date with Brooke?
1461
01:11:17,384 --> 01:11:18,352
It was fun.
1462
01:11:18,485 --> 01:11:20,489
All of us pitching our sons.
1463
01:11:22,460 --> 01:11:23,496
Can you
finish the tasting for me?
1464
01:11:23,630 --> 01:11:24,632
How do I finish the tasting?
1465
01:11:24,932 --> 01:11:26,736
Just, they're going to bring you
out food.
1466
01:11:26,803 --> 01:11:28,339
I need details on the menu,
pick a few items that you like,
1467
01:11:28,506 --> 01:11:30,043
Write about them here. Okay.
1468
01:11:30,176 --> 01:11:32,080
I'm going tell the manager
that you're going to do this.
1469
01:11:32,213 --> 01:11:33,382
-I'll be back.
-Okay.
1470
01:11:33,516 --> 01:11:34,752
I love you. Thank you.
1471
01:11:34,818 --> 01:11:36,088
I have to go.
'll let the manager know.
1472
01:11:36,221 --> 01:11:37,490
Okay. Bye.
1473
01:11:45,473 --> 01:11:46,909
There you are.
1474
01:11:48,714 --> 01:11:50,684
My mom
submitted the application.
1475
01:11:51,419 --> 01:11:53,222
-What?
-My mom.
1476
01:11:53,355 --> 01:11:55,728
She submitted the application
to go on a date with Brooke.
1477
01:11:55,861 --> 01:11:57,363
This whole time,
I felt silly thinking
1478
01:11:57,564 --> 01:11:58,867
that I was the only one
that had feelings for you
1479
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:00,604
and that you didn't
have feelings for me.
1480
01:12:00,738 --> 01:12:02,908
And that's why you sent me
on a date with Brooke.
1481
01:12:03,042 --> 01:12:04,979
I don't have to
go through with it, Kenzie.
1482
01:12:07,585 --> 01:12:08,887
I do want you to.
1483
01:12:11,391 --> 01:12:12,795
What? Why?
1484
01:12:12,928 --> 01:12:15,299
You are the only person
who even remotely hit
1485
01:12:15,433 --> 01:12:16,903
it off with her.
1486
01:12:16,969 --> 01:12:18,272
And she said she might
actually be interested in you.
1487
01:12:18,406 --> 01:12:19,509
I mean, she texted you right?
1488
01:12:20,176 --> 01:12:22,815
No, no, she didn't text me,
and it wouldn't matter.
1489
01:12:22,948 --> 01:12:24,752
Listen, I know that
this is important to you,
1490
01:12:24,885 --> 01:12:28,092
so, yes, I'll go to the party
as her date.
1491
01:12:28,225 --> 01:12:29,562
Then.
1492
01:12:29,695 --> 01:12:31,632
Then we'll see what happens.
1493
01:12:32,634 --> 01:12:34,438
Yes, we'll see what happens.
1494
01:12:34,572 --> 01:12:36,441
No, no. With you two.
1495
01:12:36,576 --> 01:12:38,747
Mark already told me about
the potential partnership
1496
01:12:38,881 --> 01:12:40,817
between the station
and Topline.
1497
01:12:41,018 --> 01:12:43,456
The listeners, they really
like you two together.
1498
01:12:43,590 --> 01:12:45,527
This is the best thing
for our careers.
1499
01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:47,998
I'm sorry. Am I really the only
one that's feeling this?
1500
01:12:48,131 --> 01:12:50,003
Because ever since I met you,
I can't get
1501
01:12:50,136 --> 01:12:51,672
you out of my head.
1502
01:12:52,373 --> 01:12:54,411
Kenzie, you're funny,
1503
01:12:54,546 --> 01:12:55,814
you're driven,
you're talented,
1504
01:12:55,947 --> 01:12:58,853
you're kind and smart,
and I just...
1505
01:12:59,989 --> 01:13:01,525
Everything with Brooke,
that's not real.
1506
01:13:02,360 --> 01:13:04,264
Yeah, but they could be.
1507
01:13:04,398 --> 01:13:05,601
And you're the station's pick.
1508
01:13:05,734 --> 01:13:08,338
I can't, I won't
go against that.
1509
01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:11,344
You and Brooke,
you have a lot of chemistry.
1510
01:13:11,712 --> 01:13:13,015
This is the best thing
for the show.
1511
01:13:13,148 --> 01:13:14,518
-The show forget about the show.
-No, no, I can't.
1512
01:13:14,652 --> 01:13:16,188
I can't forget the show, Ben.
1513
01:13:16,623 --> 01:13:17,792
You're the only viable,
1514
01:13:17,925 --> 01:13:19,193
I don't have another option
here.
1515
01:13:19,327 --> 01:13:21,365
-Kenzie--
-No, I like you, Ben.
1516
01:13:21,498 --> 01:13:22,734
I do.
1517
01:13:22,868 --> 01:13:24,838
But I've worked
way too hard for this.
1518
01:13:24,972 --> 01:13:27,978
I'm not going to let
some silly crush derail that.
1519
01:13:28,580 --> 01:13:29,949
If I give in to you.
1520
01:13:30,083 --> 01:13:31,987
Give in to this.
1521
01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:33,857
It will ruin everything.
1522
01:13:34,057 --> 01:13:35,727
Yeah, or it could be the best
thing that ever happened.
1523
01:13:36,797 --> 01:13:38,867
It's not
how the real world works.
1524
01:13:39,001 --> 01:13:41,137
-Kenzie, please.
-No, I'm sorry, Ben.
1525
01:13:42,106 --> 01:13:43,543
I'm sorry.
1526
01:14:16,909 --> 01:14:19,081
Hey. Kenzie.
How are you?
1527
01:14:19,414 --> 01:14:20,550
Todd? Hi. Good.
1528
01:14:20,683 --> 01:14:22,888
-How are you?
-Well.
1529
01:14:23,022 --> 01:14:25,794
You know me, just
living the single life.
1530
01:14:28,299 --> 01:14:31,037
This Christmas, it's,
it's different.
1531
01:14:31,772 --> 01:14:33,976
Yeah. You're even online dating.
1532
01:14:34,745 --> 01:14:36,114
-What?
-Oh, I, uh,
1533
01:14:36,247 --> 01:14:38,485
I found your dating profile
in doing research
1534
01:14:38,620 --> 01:14:39,855
for the show.
1535
01:14:39,988 --> 01:14:41,225
Oh, that?
1536
01:14:41,358 --> 01:14:42,662
Jim in my office did that.
1537
01:14:42,795 --> 01:14:44,632
He did it as a joke.
1538
01:14:44,765 --> 01:14:46,234
I thought he took it down.
1539
01:14:47,103 --> 01:14:48,072
Wait, what?
1540
01:14:48,472 --> 01:14:51,277
Yeah, I'm not looking to date or
I don't even want to.
1541
01:14:52,781 --> 01:14:54,017
You know, what maybe it's time.
1542
01:14:54,151 --> 01:14:56,856
If online dating is good
for Brooke,
1543
01:14:56,989 --> 01:14:58,626
maybe it'll be good for me.
1544
01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:00,731
Yeah. Yeah. No, no,
You don't need online dating.
1545
01:15:00,864 --> 01:15:02,133
You're, you're good. Yeah.
1546
01:15:02,266 --> 01:15:03,870
I mean, unless you want you,
but maybe don't.
1547
01:15:04,004 --> 01:15:06,041
Okay. It was good to see you.
1548
01:15:06,576 --> 01:15:07,745
Merry Christmas?
1549
01:15:07,878 --> 01:15:10,015
Yes. Merry Christmas, Todd.
1550
01:15:10,149 --> 01:15:11,552
- Yeah.
- Merry Christmas. Okay.
1551
01:15:11,686 --> 01:15:12,788
See ya later.
1552
01:15:16,261 --> 01:15:17,697
-Hey.
-Hey.
1553
01:15:17,831 --> 01:15:19,869
Okay, so I was thinking,
what are you wearing tonight?
1554
01:15:20,003 --> 01:15:22,173
Uh, I don't know.
Maybe jeans?
1555
01:15:22,674 --> 01:15:23,843
What? You can't wear jeans.
1556
01:15:23,977 --> 01:15:25,581
The dress code says no jeans.
1557
01:15:25,714 --> 01:15:27,149
What are you wearing?
1558
01:15:27,283 --> 01:15:28,754
Okay, I was thinking
this blue dress with, like, a
1559
01:15:28,887 --> 01:15:30,355
subtle glitter heel.
1560
01:15:30,690 --> 01:15:32,661
I don't think glitters ever
been subtle.
1561
01:15:32,794 --> 01:15:35,332
Okay. Or this hot pink pantsuit?
1562
01:15:36,569 --> 01:15:38,539
Okay.
We could get ready together.
1563
01:15:40,544 --> 01:15:42,279
Hello?
Hey. What's wrong?
1564
01:15:42,647 --> 01:15:43,917
What?
1565
01:15:44,051 --> 01:15:46,021
Oh, nothing.
1566
01:15:46,155 --> 01:15:47,624
Nothing's wrong.
1567
01:15:51,265 --> 01:15:53,803
-I ran into Todd.
-Brooke's ex Todd?
1568
01:15:53,936 --> 01:15:56,207
Yes, and he said that he didn't
make the dating profile.
1569
01:15:56,341 --> 01:15:58,078
One of his coworkers did. So.
1570
01:15:58,913 --> 01:16:00,216
So?
1571
01:16:00,349 --> 01:16:02,754
So, Brooke thinks that Todd
made himself
1572
01:16:02,888 --> 01:16:04,725
the dating profile
and that he is online dating.
1573
01:16:04,859 --> 01:16:06,763
That's why she agreed
to go on the blind dates.
1574
01:16:06,896 --> 01:16:08,700
She wouldn't have done it
if he wasn't actually dating.
1575
01:16:08,833 --> 01:16:11,137
You can't tell her. Why not?
1576
01:16:12,072 --> 01:16:13,510
Okay.
You didn't hear this from me,
1577
01:16:13,877 --> 01:16:15,614
but Megan in advertising
told me she was talking
1578
01:16:15,747 --> 01:16:17,651
to Karen in accounting
about how the suits
1579
01:16:17,785 --> 01:16:19,655
are pretty set on cutting
Brooke from the lineup
1580
01:16:19,788 --> 01:16:21,592
if this whole partnership
with Topline doesn't
1581
01:16:21,725 --> 01:16:24,431
go well. It's bringing in a
lot of money for the station.
1582
01:16:24,565 --> 01:16:27,303
And if she knew that Todd
wasn't actually online dating,
1583
01:16:27,436 --> 01:16:29,207
that would blow
everything up with Ben.
1584
01:16:29,340 --> 01:16:30,778
So if you want to
keep your show on-air,
1585
01:16:30,911 --> 01:16:32,246
you can't tell her.
1586
01:16:32,781 --> 01:16:35,052
At least wait till after
the Christmas party?
1587
01:16:36,823 --> 01:16:39,060
-Oh boy.
-Yeah.
1588
01:16:40,530 --> 01:16:41,699
So, the pantsuit?
1589
01:16:41,933 --> 01:16:43,335
Yeah. Okay.
I'll see you later.
1590
01:16:43,469 --> 01:16:44,671
See you later.
1591
01:16:48,011 --> 01:16:50,583
There he is, Mr. WKPC and
1592
01:16:50,717 --> 01:16:52,788
future
partner of Topline Papers.
1593
01:16:52,922 --> 01:16:54,290
You excited about the party
tonight?
1594
01:16:54,423 --> 01:16:55,359
Sure.
1595
01:16:55,994 --> 01:16:57,864
Come on. It'll be fun.
1596
01:16:58,666 --> 01:16:59,869
What's better than a little
1597
01:17:00,002 --> 01:17:01,104
romance
on a cozy winter's evening?
1598
01:17:01,371 --> 01:17:02,741
Whatever you say.
1599
01:17:05,246 --> 01:17:08,719
- Yeah.
- Get in.
1600
01:17:12,126 --> 01:17:15,098
Hey, I've been texting you.
1601
01:17:15,465 --> 01:17:16,536
Sorry.
1602
01:17:16,669 --> 01:17:18,506
Is everything okay?
1603
01:17:18,639 --> 01:17:19,775
Yeah.
1604
01:17:22,581 --> 01:17:25,085
Today is,
1605
01:17:25,219 --> 01:17:27,256
today's the day that Todd
and I met.
1606
01:17:28,458 --> 01:17:30,262
I know it might sound silly,
but we would
1607
01:17:30,396 --> 01:17:34,170
call it our "Met Day,"
and we would celebrate it
1608
01:17:34,304 --> 01:17:36,508
every year at that
1609
01:17:36,642 --> 01:17:38,780
sweet
little restaurant Zini's.
1610
01:17:38,914 --> 01:17:43,222
And we would get the little
table by the window. And
1611
01:17:43,355 --> 01:17:45,793
every year I would fall
more and more in love with him.
1612
01:17:47,330 --> 01:17:49,801
Oh, I really thought
he was my soul mate.
1613
01:17:53,910 --> 01:17:56,214
I mean, how do you let
your soul mate, slip away?
1614
01:17:56,347 --> 01:18:00,556
But I did, because I'm
so focused on my career
1615
01:18:00,690 --> 01:18:03,162
and this show.
1616
01:18:03,997 --> 01:18:06,902
Anyway, I'm so sorry
to dump all this on you.
1617
01:18:07,704 --> 01:18:09,107
Are you okay?
1618
01:18:09,241 --> 01:18:10,711
Mm-hm. Yeah.
1619
01:18:10,844 --> 01:18:13,281
Yeah, I'm fine,
I'm totally fine.
1620
01:18:13,950 --> 01:18:15,385
I just have a thing
1621
01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:18,459
that I have to go do right now
that I forgot about.
1622
01:18:18,593 --> 01:18:19,528
It was. It was.
1623
01:18:19,661 --> 01:18:22,433
It was a pre-planned thing.
1624
01:18:22,568 --> 01:18:23,469
So I'm going to,
1625
01:18:23,870 --> 01:18:25,774
I'm going to go,
but I will see you later.
1626
01:18:25,908 --> 01:18:27,944
- Okay? Bye.
- Bye.
1627
01:18:44,477 --> 01:18:45,747
-Hello.
-Hi.
1628
01:18:45,880 --> 01:18:48,452
I have a reservation
for two for Walkins.
1629
01:18:48,586 --> 01:18:51,058
Yes, he's over there.
1630
01:18:51,191 --> 01:18:51,926
Thank you.
1631
01:18:52,059 --> 01:18:53,161
You're very welcome.
1632
01:18:57,470 --> 01:18:58,773
Sorry I'm late, I--
1633
01:19:01,477 --> 01:19:02,881
Todd?
1634
01:19:05,520 --> 01:19:06,922
Happy Met Day.
1635
01:19:07,591 --> 01:19:08,559
What are you doing here?
1636
01:19:08,693 --> 01:19:10,229
I heard through the grapevine
1637
01:19:10,296 --> 01:19:11,532
that you were looking for a
date to a certain Christmas
1638
01:19:11,666 --> 01:19:12,934
Eve party tonight?
1639
01:19:15,974 --> 01:19:18,946
-Maybe.
-You look beautiful.
1640
01:19:19,548 --> 01:19:21,417
Thank you.
1641
01:19:22,152 --> 01:19:24,023
And you look very handsome.
1642
01:19:24,156 --> 01:19:25,794
Thank you
for the heads up.
1643
01:19:25,928 --> 01:19:26,896
Yeah.
Have a great time tonight.
1644
01:19:27,030 --> 01:19:29,968
Okay. Okay. Bye.
1645
01:19:30,903 --> 01:19:32,941
You good, Mr. Grumpy?
What's wrong?
1646
01:19:33,476 --> 01:19:34,779
What? Yeah.
1647
01:19:35,179 --> 01:19:38,351
It was just Kenzie, she canceled
my date with Brooke tonight.
1648
01:19:38,820 --> 01:19:40,222
What?
1649
01:19:40,289 --> 01:19:41,726
Said I was more than welcome
to go to the party.
1650
01:19:41,859 --> 01:19:44,397
Just not as Brooke's
official date.
1651
01:19:45,065 --> 01:19:49,574
Oh, you're still going
to go, though. Right?
1652
01:19:51,745 --> 01:19:53,583
What, to the party? No, no.
1653
01:19:54,250 --> 01:19:56,589
Come on, let's throw a suit on
and go
1654
01:19:56,722 --> 01:19:59,093
and celebrate a little bit
of Christmas magic.
1655
01:20:00,062 --> 01:20:02,635
Maybe a little holiday
romance.
1656
01:20:03,168 --> 01:20:04,771
I think I'm a holiday
romance-d out.
1657
01:20:04,905 --> 01:20:07,143
Thank you very much, but no,
thank you.
1658
01:20:07,276 --> 01:20:09,447
But as much as I love the idea
of being a third wheel
1659
01:20:09,582 --> 01:20:11,518
to you and Maya,
1660
01:20:12,587 --> 01:20:14,157
Yeah, I think I'll pass.
1661
01:20:14,357 --> 01:20:16,195
You could just make it up with
Kenzie, then you'd be on your
1662
01:20:16,328 --> 01:20:18,933
own, totally dependable,
two wheeled bike.
1663
01:20:20,069 --> 01:20:21,437
I don't think that's
going to happen.
1664
01:20:23,910 --> 01:20:25,212
Are you sure?
1665
01:20:25,580 --> 01:20:27,449
Yeah. You're
not going to win this one.
1666
01:20:28,853 --> 01:20:30,255
All right.
1667
01:20:31,258 --> 01:20:33,428
Go. You look great.
Look at you.
1668
01:20:34,765 --> 01:20:35,834
You look great.
1669
01:20:35,967 --> 01:20:37,169
Okay, man.
1670
01:20:37,637 --> 01:20:38,840
I know you do enjoy
1671
01:20:38,973 --> 01:20:40,610
a Friday evening in
with your fish.
1672
01:20:40,744 --> 01:20:41,679
It's Mr. Bubbles,
1673
01:20:42,180 --> 01:20:44,350
and you know that
you know his name.
1674
01:20:53,803 --> 01:20:55,740
I love the tie.
1675
01:20:56,241 --> 01:20:58,044
Perfect.
It looks perfect.
1676
01:20:58,980 --> 01:20:59,982
You go.
1677
01:21:00,115 --> 01:21:01,518
-No, you go.
-No, no, no.
1678
01:21:01,652 --> 01:21:03,355
Please, please. You go.
1679
01:21:03,556 --> 01:21:05,192
Thank you.
1680
01:21:05,325 --> 01:21:08,733
Well, I've been going on
these blind dates
1681
01:21:08,867 --> 01:21:10,436
through the show, and--
1682
01:21:10,570 --> 01:21:11,872
Yeah.
1683
01:21:12,006 --> 01:21:13,943
I've listened every broadcast.
1684
01:21:14,077 --> 01:21:16,048
-You do?
-Of course!
1685
01:21:16,181 --> 01:21:18,118
I wouldn't
miss an episode of your show.
1686
01:21:18,753 --> 01:21:20,222
It's been really good.
1687
01:21:20,356 --> 01:21:21,658
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
1688
01:21:21,792 --> 01:21:26,067
You seem so relaxed. Engaged.
1689
01:21:26,468 --> 01:21:28,338
- Thank you.
- Hopeful.
1690
01:21:30,577 --> 01:21:32,479
I haven't seen
you like this in years.
1691
01:21:32,948 --> 01:21:35,921
So if dating
1692
01:21:36,054 --> 01:21:39,493
makes you feel
that way, then, please--
1693
01:21:39,628 --> 01:21:41,430
Babe. It doesn't.
1694
01:21:42,768 --> 01:21:43,937
You do.
1695
01:21:44,070 --> 01:21:46,073
You make me feel that way.
1696
01:21:48,411 --> 01:21:49,114
And, yes,
1697
01:21:49,615 --> 01:21:51,051
I've gone on dates
with some great guys.
1698
01:21:51,184 --> 01:21:53,022
But they're not you.
1699
01:21:53,155 --> 01:21:55,727
They're not my Todd.
1700
01:21:55,861 --> 01:21:58,399
I miss us so much.
1701
01:21:58,533 --> 01:21:59,768
I feel the same way.
1702
01:21:59,902 --> 01:22:01,037
-You do?
-Yeah.
1703
01:22:01,171 --> 01:22:02,808
I feel like
the last few months
1704
01:22:02,941 --> 01:22:04,276
I haven't been myself.
1705
01:22:04,946 --> 01:22:06,080
I felt like
1706
01:22:06,214 --> 01:22:09,120
the biggest piece
of me was missing.
1707
01:22:09,320 --> 01:22:13,128
Todd, I know
I made such a big mistake.
1708
01:22:13,462 --> 01:22:17,838
I know I have thrown my
everything into my work
1709
01:22:17,971 --> 01:22:21,077
and the station
and the show when
1710
01:22:21,210 --> 01:22:24,684
I needed to throw a lot of it
into you.
1711
01:22:27,958 --> 01:22:29,426
You know, you're
my dream girl, right?
1712
01:22:31,164 --> 01:22:33,301
You know,
you're my dream guy, right?
1713
01:22:34,004 --> 01:22:35,305
I love you.
1714
01:22:35,974 --> 01:22:37,677
I love you, too.
1715
01:22:40,884 --> 01:22:45,492
Well. I think we have a
Christmas Eve party to go to.
1716
01:22:45,627 --> 01:22:46,996
I think we do.
1717
01:22:47,496 --> 01:22:49,534
-Shall we?
-We shall.
1718
01:22:52,072 --> 01:22:53,543
All right, party people.
1719
01:22:53,676 --> 01:22:56,915
T-minus two minutes
till showtime, now.
1720
01:22:57,049 --> 01:22:59,220
Does anyone have eyes
on Brooke?
1721
01:22:59,353 --> 01:23:01,525
Yeah,
She'll be here in a minute.
1722
01:23:02,760 --> 01:23:03,696
Okay.
1723
01:23:05,031 --> 01:23:06,467
Okay.
1724
01:23:06,602 --> 01:23:07,604
I love you.
1725
01:23:08,004 --> 01:23:11,110
And in case this doesn't go
well and I lose my job,
1726
01:23:11,244 --> 01:23:12,781
it's been amazing
working with you.
1727
01:23:12,914 --> 01:23:14,084
And I'll fill you in later.
1728
01:23:14,217 --> 01:23:15,119
Okay. Wish me luck.
1729
01:23:15,252 --> 01:23:16,922
Wait, Kenzie, what?
1730
01:23:17,524 --> 01:23:20,028
What is she talking about?
1731
01:23:20,797 --> 01:23:22,266
All right.
1732
01:23:22,399 --> 01:23:24,638
We are live in five,
1733
01:23:24,772 --> 01:23:27,744
four, three.
1734
01:23:29,047 --> 01:23:30,115
Good evening, everyone,
1735
01:23:30,249 --> 01:23:33,321
and welcome to the annual
WKPC
1736
01:23:33,455 --> 01:23:35,593
Live Christmas Eve broadcast.
1737
01:23:35,726 --> 01:23:37,463
Thank you so much
for joining us this evening,
1738
01:23:37,597 --> 01:23:39,400
ladies and gentlemen.
1739
01:23:45,111 --> 01:23:46,515
My name is Kenzie Parker,
1740
01:23:46,649 --> 01:23:50,455
and I am the producer
of Breakfast with Brooke.
1741
01:23:50,590 --> 01:23:52,226
You might be wondering
where Brooke is
1742
01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:54,898
and who she picked for her
blind date.
1743
01:23:55,031 --> 01:23:58,005
Was it the funny Chris
1744
01:23:58,138 --> 01:24:00,042
or the charming Ben?
1745
01:24:00,175 --> 01:24:01,444
What about Keith?
1746
01:24:02,045 --> 01:24:03,448
Sound bath guy!
1747
01:24:04,450 --> 01:24:07,155
Or sound bath guy? Yes.
1748
01:24:08,458 --> 01:24:11,397
The truth is, it's
none of them,
1749
01:24:12,066 --> 01:24:13,034
because none of them
1750
01:24:13,168 --> 01:24:15,339
were the right fit for Brooke.
1751
01:24:16,041 --> 01:24:19,314
I was pushing Brooke to do
something
1752
01:24:19,447 --> 01:24:23,556
instead of encouraging her
to follow her heart.
1753
01:24:23,689 --> 01:24:26,027
I thought that
if I could set Brooke up
1754
01:24:26,161 --> 01:24:28,165
with the perfect situation
to fall in love,
1755
01:24:28,298 --> 01:24:31,705
that it would fix all of our
show's problems.
1756
01:24:33,274 --> 01:24:34,744
But I know
that's not the case.
1757
01:24:34,878 --> 01:24:37,382
So I did something else
1758
01:24:37,517 --> 01:24:40,289
and set her up with someone
else. Who,
1759
01:24:40,422 --> 01:24:42,961
I will let her share that
information.
1760
01:24:43,095 --> 01:24:44,497
What is she doing?
1761
01:24:45,065 --> 01:24:46,535
She's saving the show.
1762
01:24:46,669 --> 01:24:49,406
Oh, here she is.
Everybody, Brooke Walkins.
1763
01:24:56,689 --> 01:24:57,724
Thank you so much.
1764
01:24:58,191 --> 01:24:59,460
Thank you so much
for being here.
1765
01:24:59,594 --> 01:25:01,397
You're all very wonderful.
1766
01:25:01,532 --> 01:25:03,603
And I also need to give it up
1767
01:25:03,736 --> 01:25:06,240
for my fabulous
1768
01:25:06,374 --> 01:25:08,378
producer, Kenzie.
1769
01:25:08,513 --> 01:25:11,050
I really would not be here
if it weren't for her.
1770
01:25:11,184 --> 01:25:12,654
She is incredible.
1771
01:25:12,787 --> 01:25:16,695
She came up with this
crazy idea that you all loved.
1772
01:25:16,828 --> 01:25:20,368
So thank you so much, Kenzie,
for that.
1773
01:25:20,502 --> 01:25:23,375
And the truth is,
she actually helped me so much
1774
01:25:23,509 --> 01:25:27,349
because these
dates made me realize that
1775
01:25:27,482 --> 01:25:30,488
I had the perfect
guy right in front of me.
1776
01:25:30,623 --> 01:25:32,493
And I know a lot of
you know of him because I have
1777
01:25:32,627 --> 01:25:35,666
spoken about him
many times on the show.
1778
01:25:35,800 --> 01:25:39,173
And I'm very happy to say
that we are back together.
1779
01:25:39,306 --> 01:25:41,578
And it is my husband.
1780
01:25:50,897 --> 01:25:55,171
There is, though,
someone that does need a date
1781
01:25:55,539 --> 01:25:58,144
-that is very close to me.
-Brooke.
1782
01:25:58,278 --> 01:25:59,915
-Yes?
-What are you doing?
1783
01:26:00,049 --> 01:26:01,519
Just go with it.
1784
01:26:01,852 --> 01:26:04,725
I actually noticed
a little connection with her
1785
01:26:04,858 --> 01:26:07,564
and the guy that was there
to be my date.
1786
01:26:07,697 --> 01:26:10,669
Wait, is she talking about Ben?
1787
01:26:11,839 --> 01:26:13,208
I want to introduce,
1788
01:26:13,341 --> 01:26:16,615
because you all loved him
on the show. Ben.
1789
01:26:20,956 --> 01:26:22,627
You'll thank me later.
1790
01:26:27,370 --> 01:26:28,840
Hi, Kenzie.
1791
01:26:29,273 --> 01:26:31,444
I was wondering
if you had a date
1792
01:26:31,578 --> 01:26:34,684
to the WKPC
Christmas Eve soiree?
1793
01:26:36,120 --> 01:26:38,124
So it turns out I don't,
1794
01:26:38,357 --> 01:26:39,961
but I would love one.
1795
01:27:04,644 --> 01:27:06,515
Thank you again,
everyone, for coming.
1796
01:27:06,648 --> 01:27:09,320
Merry Christmas
Eve and Merry Christmas.
1797
01:27:09,453 --> 01:27:11,490
And thank you again, Mark.
1798
01:27:11,625 --> 01:27:14,263
Let's give it up for
Todd and Brooke Walkins!
1799
01:27:38,211 --> 01:27:39,647
Hey, come in.
1800
01:27:40,716 --> 01:27:42,118
Hope you had a Merry
Christmas.
1801
01:27:42,252 --> 01:27:43,722
I did. Thank you.
1802
01:27:43,856 --> 01:27:45,626
Now, as you know,
1803
01:27:46,027 --> 01:27:47,262
we here at WKPC,
1804
01:27:47,395 --> 01:27:50,803
we value authenticity,
tenacity, spirit.
1805
01:27:50,937 --> 01:27:52,406
Which is why
1806
01:27:52,841 --> 01:27:54,410
Coffee with Kenzie
1807
01:27:54,711 --> 01:27:57,415
will be WKPC's
new morning segment,
1808
01:27:57,550 --> 01:28:00,421
which will alternate days
with Breakfast with Brooke.
1809
01:28:00,856 --> 01:28:02,126
What?
1810
01:28:02,192 --> 01:28:03,529
All the data supports
that adding you to the morning
1811
01:28:03,662 --> 01:28:05,232
lineup will not only be good
1812
01:28:05,365 --> 01:28:06,869
for Brooke,
but good for the station.
1813
01:28:07,002 --> 01:28:09,974
You're trending
very high with the listeners.
1814
01:28:10,275 --> 01:28:11,879
Are you serious?
1815
01:28:12,146 --> 01:28:13,348
Yes, we are serious.
1816
01:28:13,481 --> 01:28:15,653
And you know that
I've been trying to find
1817
01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:18,526
a balance
between work and family.
1818
01:28:18,659 --> 01:28:20,495
And this is definitely
1819
01:28:20,630 --> 01:28:22,333
a step in the right direction.
1820
01:28:22,466 --> 01:28:25,974
And we both know
that you are going
1821
01:28:26,040 --> 01:28:28,345
to be an amazing addition
1822
01:28:28,478 --> 01:28:30,249
to our on-air team.
1823
01:28:30,415 --> 01:28:33,656
I second that,
and your show already
1824
01:28:33,723 --> 01:28:36,595
has its first sponsor,
Topline papers.
1825
01:28:37,129 --> 01:28:40,202
I think this has the potential
to be something really great.
1826
01:28:40,468 --> 01:28:43,609
So what do you say, Kenzie?
1827
01:28:48,017 --> 01:28:50,355
Oh, could you hold
the door, please?
1828
01:28:53,027 --> 01:28:54,363
Thank you.
1829
01:28:57,169 --> 01:28:58,404
Here. I got it.
1830
01:28:58,539 --> 01:29:00,576
Thank you, again.
1831
01:29:02,113 --> 01:29:04,483
No problem. Again.
1832
01:29:05,653 --> 01:29:07,256
Good morning, Ann Arbor.
1833
01:29:07,389 --> 01:29:09,460
I hope you had a very Merry
Christmas
1834
01:29:09,594 --> 01:29:11,832
and
welcome to Coffee with Kenzie.
1835
01:29:11,965 --> 01:29:14,571
It feel so crazy
to actually say that.
1836
01:29:17,275 --> 01:29:18,679
Anywho, so
1837
01:29:18,746 --> 01:29:20,348
my name is Kenzie Parker,
and you might know me
1838
01:29:20,415 --> 01:29:22,453
as the producer of
Breakfast with Brooke.
1839
01:29:22,587 --> 01:29:23,822
Shout out to Brooke Walkins
1840
01:29:23,956 --> 01:29:25,559
for teaching me
everything I know.
1841
01:29:25,693 --> 01:29:26,995
To pay homage to Brooke,
I think we should start
1842
01:29:27,128 --> 01:29:29,032
the show
by taking some callers. Yeah?
1843
01:29:30,235 --> 01:29:31,871
Okay, let's do this.
1844
01:29:32,339 --> 01:29:33,408
Hi, caller.
1845
01:29:33,576 --> 01:29:35,045
You're having Coffee
with Kenzie!
1846
01:29:35,178 --> 01:29:36,615
Hi Kenzie, did
you have a Merry Christmas?
1847
01:29:36,749 --> 01:29:38,284
I did have a Merry
Christmas. Did you?
1848
01:29:38,719 --> 01:29:40,088
Oh, that's great.
1849
01:29:40,221 --> 01:29:42,092
That's, wait. You
do stockings twice?
1850
01:29:42,426 --> 01:29:44,698
Stockings on Christmas
Eve and Christmas morning?
1851
01:29:44,831 --> 01:29:46,802
That's epic!
I'm gonna steal that.
1852
01:29:47,035 --> 01:29:48,806
No, I love it.
I think that's genius.
1853
01:29:48,939 --> 01:29:51,277
Are there any other amazing
tips you should be giving me?
