  Speaker 1: It's almost time for your prank call. It's Brooke and
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey in the morning. Okay. And today we call the
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: manager of an office building. And his job is really
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: just to make sure all the safety protocols there are
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: met and the facility is kept up to code. Way
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: to make a job sound so simple, Jeff. Like anybody
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: could do it. Yeah. Super easy. But no. Boring. Maybe.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: But we recently, he's been required to update the office elevators.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and he was told to equip them with audible floor announcements. Oh, yeah,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: we have those in ours. Oh, yeah, I like those.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: So whenever the door opens, it, like, tells you it's open, basically,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: and all the other stuff. But that's why we call
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: from the elevator company to give him some potential voice
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: options to choose from, and I'm sure they won't be
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: super weird. In your phone tap right now. Hello, this
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: is Chris. Hi, Chris. You're the building manager? Yes, I'm
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the building manager. How can I help you, sir? Hey, man.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: So my name is Duncan. I'm a representative from OX
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Elevator Systems. Okay. How can I help you today? Yeah,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: so I got an email from my boss saying that
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: you wanted to put in a voice feature in your elevators. Yeah,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I just found out it seems like it's a city requirement. Ah, yeah. Well,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the good news is it's a pretty simple process. I
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: can have one of my guys come out and do
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: it in just a few hours. Nice, that's good. You
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: just got to pick the voice. Listen, it doesn't matter.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I'll just take a standard voice, okay? Okay, I mean,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I would do that. It's just that, you know how
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: sensitive people can get nowadays? You could choose a voice
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: that some people really like, but other people find offensive.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: And I don't want to put you in that situation,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: you know? Yeah, I don't want to be in that
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: spot either. So what do you have? Well, it's actually
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: kind of cool. I have just a few samples on
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: my computer here. The first one is our mid-40s female. Okay.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Door's opening. Okay to enter. Thoughts? Personally, I like the voice,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: but it's maybe a little too sexy for this corporate building. Oh, sexy.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: A little bit. I've never heard anybody... Associate that voice
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: with sexiness. Well, it struck me that way. I don't
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: know why, but it did. You know what? It could
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: be just that one prompt sounds weird, and I can
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: get rid of that for you. Let me just give
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: you a different option from that same voice. All right, cool, yeah.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Next stop, lobby. Oh, my God. Oh! No way. What,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: are you kidding me? You're trying to get me fired, huh? Okay, honestly,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: that one did sound a little bit over the line.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: A little? Come on now. To me, it sounds like
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: someone who's excited to give a positive vibe to the
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: people riding the elevator. I'm sorry, but not this building. Okay.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: We have another option here. This one's just a regular
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Gen Z female. Okay. Going down. Or wait, no, sorry, up?
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Or wait, is this the lobby? I don't know. Sorry. Duncan,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: you're kidding me, right? I'm just trying to work with you.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: You said the first one was too sexy. This one's
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: not sexy at all. Yeah, but she didn't know where
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: she was going. I mean, yes, she does sound a
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: little bit confused. I think that's what makes it so
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: relatable for most of the Gen Zers. But here's the
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: cool thing about that particular voice is the Gen Z
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: female speaks in multiple languages. We're at floor quattro. Pretty
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: sure that means two. That's kind of a cool feature.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Are you joking? Quattro is not two. Oh. It's four.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I didn't even catch that. I don't understand. You don't
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: have any normal voices? Your last option is the final one.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: It's a Gen Z male, very standard, like you asked for.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Normally I don't even play these, but here we go. Whoa,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I didn't know this elevator went up this high. No.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of scary. Are you kidding me? I'm sorry,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: what's the problem now? That sounds like a f * * *
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: ing stoner, and I have lawyers in this building, sir. Okay,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: you're making this really difficult for me. I don't even
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: know which voice to use to tell you that this
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: is a prank phone call. What? You're the one that's
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: making this difficult. No, no. It's a prank phone call.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: You're on the radio right now. My real name is Jeff.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: From a show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning? What? Yeah, dude,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: your co-worker Mitch reached out and set you up. Oh,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: my God. It's called a phone tap. You got me heated.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I'm sweating over this phone call. What, are you kidding me?
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I'm not surprised, man. Mitch said that you've been really
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: frustrated because you had to install these voice features in
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: your elevators, and he wanted to make you laugh. I
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: was thinking, like, these are my options? Oh, no. They're
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: pretty high quality. Just listen to this one. Whoa, did
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: this elevator just get, like, super heavy, or is that you?
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: If I use that, I'm fired. Jeffery's phone taps on
