Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Time for your
- 0:01Speaker 1: prank phone call.
- 0:02Speaker 2: All right.
- 0:03Speaker 1: Some people say we're living in the golden age of TV.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
- 0:07Speaker 1: Seriously. There's like so many shows I can't even catch
- 0:10Speaker 1: up on the good ones. But are they all good?
- 0:11Speaker 1: Or is it like garbage? Well, garbage is kind of good. Yeah,
- 0:14Speaker 1: that's the thing. Like, there's such a wide variety of
- 0:16Speaker 1: choices now where you could literally watch. 600 straight hours
- 0:20Speaker 1: of people baking and murdering and renovating and dating and
- 0:24Speaker 1: surviving different climates and still have 50,000 more options to watch.
- 0:29Speaker 1: I love that reality show. But what would happen if
- 0:32Speaker 1: your favorite streaming service said, Uh-oh. We're going to tell
- 0:37Speaker 1: you what you watch now.
- 0:38Speaker 2: No.
- 0:39Speaker 1: I don't think you'd like it very much because that's
- 0:42Speaker 1: what we did to one woman. You'll hear how it
- 0:44Speaker 1: goes in your phone tap right now. Brooke and Jeffrey's
- 0:47Speaker 1: phone taps on the 20s.
- 0:48Speaker 2: Hello?
- 0:51Speaker 1: Hi, this is Scott Pettigrew calling from HBO Max streaming.
- 0:54Speaker 1: Is this Danielle?
- 0:56Speaker 2: Hi, yes it is.
- 0:58Speaker 1: Hi, Danielle. I'm just calling to say thank you for
- 1:00Speaker 1: renewing your subscription to our service.
- 1:05Speaker 2: You're welcome.
- 1:06Speaker 1: Yeah, we saw you did that a few days ago.
- 1:08Speaker 1: We really appreciate it.
- 1:09Speaker 2: Can I ask what this is about?
- 1:11Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, of course. So, listen, while we wanted to
- 1:15Speaker 1: say thank you and appreciate your loyalty to HBO, we
- 1:19Speaker 1: are going to be making a few changes. Okay.
- 1:23Speaker 2: What kind of changes?
- 1:24Speaker 1: So, in order to promote some of our newer programming,
- 1:27Speaker 1: we're capping viewership on some of our more popular stalwarts. Okay.
- 1:33Speaker 2: I don't really understand. What does that mean for me?
- 1:38Speaker 1: Well, so right now, just looking at your current viewing habits,
- 1:42Speaker 1: the show Sex in the City has been.
- 1:45Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
- 1:47Speaker 1: Well, that that is quite a number that you've logged.
- 1:50Speaker 2: Yeah, it's my favorite show.
- 1:54Speaker 1: I can tell it's four hundred and ninety eight hours
- 1:57Speaker 1: of watch time just since January 1st.
- 2:00Speaker 2: Wow, I didn't even know it was that much.
- 2:02Speaker 1: Yeah, apparently. Spend quite a bit of time on there.
- 2:07Speaker 1: Which brings me to my next point. We are going
- 2:09Speaker 1: to have to cap it at 500. What? Yeah, at
- 2:13Speaker 1: 500 hours, we're going to have to cut it off,
- 2:15Speaker 1: and you are at 498. That's crazy.
- 2:20Speaker 2: That's not usually how streaming services work.
- 2:23Speaker 1: I understand that, but we do want to encourage you
- 2:25Speaker 1: to watch some of our newer programming. Like, for example,
- 2:29Speaker 1: the sketch comedy series Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness.
- 2:33Speaker 2: OK, no, I don't want to watch that. The reason
- 2:36Speaker 2: I have HBO is to watch that.
- 2:38Speaker 1: OK, well, hold on. I know you're saying that, but
- 2:40Speaker 1: you haven't even seen it. I've got your viewing schedule
- 2:43Speaker 1: right in front of me here.
- 2:44Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean, it just doesn't sound like my
- 2:46Speaker 2: kind of show.
- 2:48Speaker 1: I don't think you understand. It's Larry David, but even
- 2:51Speaker 1: older and angrier.
- 2:52Speaker 2: Excuse me, are you trying to tell me what I
- 2:56Speaker 2: can and cannot watch? Because that's obviously crossing the line
- 3:00Speaker 2: in customer service.
- 3:01Speaker 1: You know what? You're absolutely right. I can't tell you
- 3:04Speaker 1: what to watch. But if we cut off your favorite shows,
- 3:08Speaker 1: then maybe you have a little more wiggle room for
- 3:11Speaker 1: a viewing adventure.
- 3:12Speaker 2: That's not okay. If you cut off my favorite shows,
- 3:15Speaker 2: that's crazy. I'm on ATO, so I can watch Sex
- 3:19Speaker 2: and the City.
- 3:20Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying, but would you rather watch
- 3:23Speaker 1: House of the Dragon Season 3? Or Miranda has another
- 3:27Speaker 1: appletini and swears off men again.
- 3:29Speaker 2: Wow.
- 3:29Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen that. Let's broaden it out, right?
- 3:32Speaker 2: You don't have to make fun of Sex and the City,
- 3:35Speaker 2: number one. And number two, yeah, that is what I
- 3:38Speaker 2: want to watch.
- 3:39Speaker 1: I'm just saying that storyline has been repeated multiple times
- 3:42Speaker 1: throughout all the seasons.
- 3:44Speaker 2: Okay, well, how about you leave Miranda the f * * *
- 3:47Speaker 2: alone and do whatever she wants?
- 3:49Speaker 1: Well, she already does whatever she wants, and she seems
- 3:52Speaker 1: to really be flailing with her life. You're obsessed with
- 3:55Speaker 1: the show to a concerning degree, like a drug user
- 3:58Speaker 1: on fentanyl. And I'm trying to pull you out of it.
- 4:01Speaker 2: Don't you dare try to compare this to me using drugs.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Are you f * * * ing crazy? I think
- 4:06Speaker 1: you might be misunderstanding what I'm trying to say.
- 4:08Speaker 2: No, I think you might be misunderstanding what I'm saying.
- 4:12Speaker 2: I am the customer. I pay for this.
- 4:14Speaker 1: No, I get that. I was just trying to use
- 4:16Speaker 1: an analogy. And I know they don't have a lot
- 4:18Speaker 1: of those insects in the city. I'm trying to paint
- 4:20Speaker 1: them for you.
- 4:21Speaker 2: If you keep mocking my favorite show, I'm going to
- 4:23Speaker 2: cancel my service.
- 4:25Speaker 1: Okay, you're acting like a real Charlotte right now, and
- 4:27Speaker 1: I need you to channel your inner Samantha because I'm
- 4:29Speaker 1: trying to talk to you.
- 4:30Speaker 2: I'm not acting like a Charlotte. Look, I'm done. I'm
- 4:33Speaker 2: not paying for it anymore. F * * * you guys.
- 4:35Speaker 1: Wow, okay.
- 4:36Speaker 2: Erase my number.
- 4:37Speaker 1: I can see I really touched a nerve here. And
- 4:39Speaker 1: I didn't expect your friend Adeline to be quite this
- 4:42Speaker 1: right about it, but apparently she was.
- 4:43Speaker 2: You don't know her.
- 4:45Speaker 1: Well, I guess you're right, I don't know her, but
- 4:47Speaker 1: she did ask me to do this prank phone call
- 4:49Speaker 1: on the radio on you, so... What? I'm acquainted with her?
- 4:54Speaker 2: What are you talking about?
- 4:56Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of like a Charlotte and Big relationship.
- 4:59Speaker 1: They're not really friends, but they know about each other.
- 5:01Speaker 1: And they help each other out when they need it.
- 5:03Speaker 1: Like Adeline needed help pranking you.
- 5:06Speaker 2: Okay.
- 5:07Speaker 1: I don't know if that last one worked, but I'm
- 5:10Speaker 1: trying to tell you that you're on the radio. My
- 5:11Speaker 1: name is Jeff from Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
- 5:13Speaker 1: We're doing a phone tap on you. Oh, my God.
- 5:18Speaker 2: I was so upset.
- 5:21Speaker 1: Adelaide thought you would be. She said that you're totally
- 5:23Speaker 1: addicted to that show and you literally won't watch anything else.
- 5:27Speaker 2: Yes, that is accurate. I'm ready to fight.
- 5:32Speaker 1: You're a little bit scary when it comes to it.
- 5:35Speaker 2: You know a lot about the show.
- 5:38Speaker 1: I'm really embarrassed that you said that. Oh, my God.
- 5:41Speaker 1: But it is true.
- 5:42Speaker 2: You're right.
- 5:42Speaker 1: I do. I am a watcher.
- 5:44Speaker 2: Well, we should have a watch party sometime.
- 5:47Speaker 1: Of Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness? Yes, I'm in.
- 5:51Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
- 5:53Speaker 1: Broken Jeffrey's phone taps on the 20s.
