Rules to Road Tripping with Brooke & Jaymee


In sharing experiences from our awesome lives and recent adventurous road trip travels we have received some very common feedback from our audiences: people want in on the epic amounts of fun. We're flattered that you want to spend your time with us doing the cool things we do but you must know that these trips are not for the meek or the faint of heart. Road tripping with Brooke and Jaymee is the real deal, the big shebang, the full Monty.
Here are a few things you should know before you go:
1.) There WILL be an announcement made when the road trip officially starts, you will not be left questioning whether the trip has begun.
2.) You are expected to be completely packed and ready the night before departure.
3.) You will be lynched if you forget any of the essentials (bike pump, cereal bowls, hiking shoes, iPod speakers, National Parks Annual Pass, craft supplies, pipe cutters, oreo cookies).
4.) By joining the trip you are obligated to one of the following depending upon your skill level: working as a cinematographer for our wilderness safety production team OR guest starring in a segment of our show "Brooke & Jaymee VS the Wild". Remember, you will be invited to fill your proper roll on the team please do not ask or suggest where you believe you would best fit, leave this to the professionals.
5.) You will be expected to go with the flow. There is no pissing, moaning or whining allowed outside the hours of 3am to 4am. We set these hours because we frankly don't give a damn if you've got something to whine about, we're busy having way too much fun to care and if you're not having fun...well, you're with the wrong crowd.
6.) Going with the flow can consist of many things outside the box which may include but is not limited to: driving around a very scary polygamist town for approximately one and a half hours and being asked to ride your bike around the town for filming purposes, taking pictures with giant weiners outside of restaurants, interacting positively with endless numbers of people in random places...you may be requested to add some of these people as friends on Facebook, sticking it out until the bitter end if you can't find a remote hike that you've been looking for, filming footage out the sunroof of the car with no concern for how your beauty may be affected in the process, driving a sedan through a stream off-road style, performing voice-overs for stuffed animals in the Visitor's Center of every National Park, wearing Junior Park Ranger uniforms, etc.
7.) It should be understood that said road trip completion times may vary based upon many factors. We may return home with just enough time to shower and arrive to work on time Monday morning. Other times we may return as early as 8pm Sunday evening. Return time is not (absolutely not) something that can be planned in advance. When registering for a trip with Brooke and Jaymee one must assume that Sunday will be an all-nighter drive back to Ogden arriving simply in time for work on Monday morning. No fun will be cut short here, we can sleep when we're dead.
8.) And finally the cardinal rule of road tripping with Brooke and Jaymee are the dedicated food stops. Any road trip in the southward direction of Ogden with require (absolutely no questions asked) a patronage to Kranky Franks. These visits must include: tormenting of the famale employee who works there and hates us...I think she hates most things about being alive really, sitting in the window while eating your weiner and laughing at the sorry suckers sitting at the stop light in front of the restaurant. Any visit to Moab, regardless of the lenth of stay, requires, at mimum, three visits to Milt's Stop & Eat.
If, after reading the above commitments, you feel that you can fulfill the expectations of a road trip with Brooke and Jaymee please feel free to contact us and set up a consultation interview.
Keep it real.

  1. I can faithfully attest to the truthfulness especially of No. 1. Which brings to mind the question, "You all drugged up?" to which CLEARLY the only answer is: "Yep, I'm wearing sweat pants and a hoodie."
