  Speaker 1: It's time for your prank phone call. It's Brooke and
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey in the morning. And today we call a guy
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: who's been doing several interviews trying to land a high-level
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: job at.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: A tech firm.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: That is so stressful.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: So we thought it might be a funny experiment to call,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: and instead of having HR or an executive make the
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: final decision, what if we handed control over to the
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: least experienced employee at the company?
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: And that, of course, is none other than Alexis Fuller.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Because she's qualified to make big, important choices, right?
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Just hear the confidence. It's your phone tap right now.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: Brooke and Jeffrey's phone taps on the 20s. Hello? Hi, Ronald.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is Ronald. Is this?
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: This is Chloe. I'm calling from the Institute.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, OK.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Hi.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Oh my God, you're so cute for even asking me that.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah. It's nice to hear from you. I don't
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: think we've met before.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: No, we haven't, but I think you met with my
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: boss a few times for some type of job opening
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: or something.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's right. I've met with him twice for an
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: engineering position at the firm.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Oh, engineering. Choo-choo. Like a train?
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, not that kind of engineering, but yes.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, that's funny.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Sorry, that's above my head what you just said.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: It is?
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: But anyways, my boss actually has two assistants. He took
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: his other one to Cabo for the week, so he
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: put me in charge of hiring.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: What?
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's been narrowed down to just two people.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: So he just told me to pick.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: So you have the final decision?
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: I can't believe it either. Isn't that cool?
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It is cool. I know.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: And so I have both your names down, and I'm
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: pointing at them, and I'm just gonna close my eyes
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: and eeny, meeny, miny, moe, catch a tiger. Just kidding.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna interview you.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay. I thought you were just gonna make a
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: random choice there for a minute.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: No, got you.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: So you really are gonna interview me right now, like,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: over the phone?
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Yes, really?
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: First question.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: Let's say you're at the club and you hear, it's
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: my birthday.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: What are you buying me?
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, so the question was, what am I going to
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: buy you at the club?
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Well, I didn't even finish the whole thing. It's my
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: birthday and it's also my friend's birthday too. And she's
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: a Virgo. So what are you buying us?
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Something at the bar. A shot?
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Great answer. It is?
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: We also would have accepted espresso martinis, lemon drops, or
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: pink panty droppers.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: You know, respectfully, I can't really believe that this is
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: the final interview for this position.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Sorry, what? I wasn't listening.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: My bangs are like crazy right now, so I was
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: just trying to do some damage control.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Next question. And this one is multiple choice.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Okay, let's say, hyperthonically, you start working here.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Hypersonically?
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm, it means pretend.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Okay, I think you mean hypothetically. I think that's the
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: word you're searching for.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I said.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: So, hyperthonically, you're working here, and you overhear me by
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: your desk saying, I'm so hungry.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: I wish someone would buy me lunch. Are you ready
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: for the multiple choice part?
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Not really. No, it's a good one.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Do you A, Buy me lunch.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Uh-huh. This is multiple choice. Are you going to keep
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: going with other options?
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Is there another option?
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I guess the answer would be no, then.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: You're right. It's A, buy me lunch.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Whoa, okay. You know, I really need your boss to
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: call me back. Okay, wait, wait.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Before that, do you want to exchange Instas right now?
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Because mine has a link to my Amazon wish list.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: No. No. Um, you realize that everything we've talked about
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: involves me buying you something? That's been the entire interview?
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Wait a second. Is this another hyperthonical question?
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: No, the word is hypothetical, and you're saying it wrong,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: and I don't like this.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Like what? What do you mean?
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Where it sounds like I'm being blackmailed into doing things
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: for you personally so that I can get this job.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Did you say blackmail? I'm pretty sure that's racist, and
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to put a minus point by your name.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Blackmail is not a racist term in any way, shape,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: or form.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Well, you're gonna have to talk that over with nobody,
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: because you didn't get the job.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: This is so ridiculous. I need to talk to your
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: boss when he gets back from Cabo, because this whole process.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Oh, wait, did I say Cabo? I meant he called
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: the radio to do a prank phone call on you.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Excuse me, what are you talking about?
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a phone tap, and lucky for you, I
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: only do these once or twice a year.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: What?
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Yay, it's done.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: I am so confused.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: My name is Alexis from the show Brooke and Jeffrey
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: in the Morning, and we're doing a phone.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Tap on you.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: No.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: Your buddy Caden set you up.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: No way.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: No.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: He said you've been interviewing for this job you really want,
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: and it's stressing you out.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh. This is the part that's stressing me out,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: the final interview with you. Me? I'm easy.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: All you have to do is just buy me things.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Pink fanny droppers. That's one I should have known.
• 5:35
