Streaming services such as Spotify, SoundCloud and Youtube have taken over the traditional radio market by offering on-demand podcasts, personally curated playlists and live news reports. In 2025, however, one FM radio show is making a comeback – in a very unexpected manner.
Recently, thousands of Tik Tok users have reported viewing multiple Brooke and Jubal videos on their For You Page. Usually, these Brooke and Jubal videos take the form of Minecraft gameplay or other mobile game recordings featuring a voiceover of the radio show. The videos have amassed millions of likes and large amounts of engagement among TikTok users, with some of the most popular ones reaching above 3 million likes. Some accounts have even been created for the sole purpose of sharing Brooke and Jubal content.
PV students have noticed the videos on their feeds recently. “Usually I just see the same few accounts up to ten or twenty times in one day, and I love it. They are the perfect length to watch in the morning or in between classes, and I’m always guaranteed a laugh,” said junior Anthony Harvey.
“Brooke and Jubal in the Morning“ was a popular radio show that first aired in 2011 in Seattle Washington. The show featured co-hosts Brook Fox and Jubal Fresh who used their humor and on air banter to captivate audiences. Their local success led them to be nationally syndicated in 2015, which expanded their reach to over 50 radio stations and over 2.2 million weekly listeners.
The show is mostly known for several entertaining phone call segments. They include “Phone Taps,” during which prank calls are made by Jubal to unsuspecting individuals; “Loser Line,” where listeners who provided a fake phone number to unwanted suitors, resulting in calls to the radio station; and “Awkward Tuesday phone call,” in which listeners make a cringeworthy phone call to a loved one on air with a made up story to elicit a reaction.
The most popular segment was known as the “second date update,” in which listeners of the show would contact the hosts to reach out to their date who wasn’t responding to their messages to find out why there wasn’t a second date. The segments often lead to a humorous clash over the air, when it was revealed that the person who submitted the phone number was on the call listening to their date explaining why they “ghosted” them.
“The Second Date Updates are always funny to me… the whole idea of being able to talk to someone who is currently ghosting you about what you did wrong is just so weird in the first place, and it definitely leads to some fiery interactions on air,” stated sophomore Jack Belby.
Although Jubal left the show in early 2020 leading to its rebranding as Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, the radio show is just now going viral for its hilarious, bite-size stories that fit perfectly into short form video platforms like TikTok.
“It’s like they were made for TikTok and Instagram reels. I remember listening to them as a kid and now I have a visual to go with, which makes it even more enjoyable,” said senior Finn McMillan.
So far, the videos have been receiving engagement for about two weeks, and Jubal’s TikTok account has already received floods of comments asking for a reboot of the original radio show. It is unclear whether there are plans to reunite Brooke and Jubal, but for now both new and old fans can enjoy listening to these two’s content reimagined for the TikTok era.
