It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and on this day, back in 1968, Brooke Fox was hired onto this radio show.

Wow!

She signed her first contract with a quill pen, had the station intern take her black and white monochrome portrait, hung it up in the lobby, and from that point on, her life was never the same.

Wow.

Not only has she been on the air doing this job for decades, but she's been part of wacky stunts,

remote broadcast gone awry, and even interviewed Apple D.

App from the Black Eye Peas at Disneyland one time.

I forgot about that.

Which was her biggest claim to fame and what will ultimately be put on her tombstone.

He was the only person that would talk to me on the right carpet.

Brooke Fox is a true legend in her field.

That's why today we're going to focus on her storied past to find out what she's learned

in this crazy, ever-growing, never-sowing industry that we call radio.

So, Brooke, let's get to your list.

What is the first thing that you've learned?

Okay.

One of the things I learned is that when you do a stunt for the show, when you think it's done, people can still be watching. Okay. Yeah. What do you mean? For example, we decided when I bought my very first house, I was 26 years old, paid zero down for a house. We're like, yes, we're going to set up a big brother, and we're going to put webcams all over it. Whoa. And the whole morning show is going to live with me. Oh, that sounds crazy. Feels invasive. Yeah. Problem was, is I was also secretly hooking up with my producer at the time. Oh. And I got cut. Oh, darned? Yeah, but just making out. I have my clothes on. I was he said, I was encouraging this industry. Wow. And now you don't even invite us over. Yep. See? That's why. She's looking up with one of them. You did learn something from that. That's cool. What else have you learned about working in radio? I learned that I never want to be in the military. What? Military. What makes you say that? Well, it's not because of like anything but the food. Really, truly. Like a stunt gone wrong here. Yes. My dad was a Marine. Thank you for your service.

I get it.

But also the food is terrible.

And the very, very first week I was ever part of any radio show. They're like, all right, we're doing a stunt. You're going to eat MREs for a whole month. Oh, my God. Military food? Yes. Powdered. No, they're a wet packed, which makes it even grosser. It's like wet food for a cat?

Kind of.

I mean, the beef stew is not far from fancy cat. You're not lying. Come on, man. And the thing is, thinking back on it, it was like in March. So I'm not even, there's no Veterans Day. I don't know why we were even doing this.
