As much of a fan of crazy zoo videos as I am – specifically those that involve literal hippopotamus sh*t storms – I often wonder just how stupid the average zoo-goer is. For instance, today’s “Because It’s Friday” video features dozens, if not several hundred people watching in awe as a frightening monkey fight breaks out. And they just stand there laughing and yelling in delight as two or three monkeys try to beat the crap out of one of their captive mates.

I know that Planet of the Apes is just a movie and we’re really in no danger of monkeys rising up and conquering us, but there’s still a pretty good chance that if I was at the zoo and I saw a bunch of monkeys start freaking out, screaming and beating the crap out of each other, my legs would do that swirly thing that the Scooby Doo characters do before they run, and then there’d be a trail of smoke behind me in the shape of my body.

Model, actress and athlete’s wife Brooklyn Decker was making the promotional rounds for her new film Battleship earlier this week, and she called in to Mason and Remy, a morning show on St. Louis’ 93.7 The Bull. And you would think that it would be pretty simple to come up with some standard cookie cutter questions for Decker – What’s it like being a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model? How do you deal with being a world famous model married to a professional athlete? Is it hard making the transition to acting? Can I have a lock of your hair? – but as Remy proved, it’s really not.

In probably the most awkward interview of a super model this year, Remy asked Decker a series of questions that made no sense, because they were meant for Kate Upton. This clearly does nothing to quash the stereotype that all gorgeous white swimsuit models look alike. But for starters, Decker is 25-years old. Upton is 19. Decker is married and Upton is single. See? Two completely different women.

After the jump, you can listen to the initial interview, as well as Remy’s poetic apology, but I’ve also created the With Leather’s Beginner’s Guide to Not Mixing Up Brooklyn Decker And Kate Upton so that we never have to mention such an egregious error again.
