We have already recorded. I'm coming at you after the recording of the main episode, which was in a word, fabulous. It was fabulous. It was truly, I cannot wait for you guys to listen to this. I guess hats out of the cat now that it was a Lana Glazer. Like that is like truly out of this world. Yeah. But I do have a personal announcement that I need to make before we get.

get into the episode, which is that my book sold. Thank you. Woohoo. I've, what a week it's been. My debut novel is going to be published by Crown Publishing, which is an imprint of Penguin Random House. They have also published normal people and Connor tell them.

And Greenlight. by my father, Mr. McConaughey. Which is really beautiful because that's truly one of the only books you've read, right? In my adult life, yeah. So it's all coming together. It is. I am, like, pretty beside myself with excitement. What can I tell you?

The title is Phoebe Berman's going to lose it. And I've been dying to say, I got chills. I've been dying to say Phoebe has been with me for the past four months and she's my best friend, my sister. Yeah. My family, it's been hard to keep her name in. But now I can just be like, oh, Phoebe, Phoebe, Phoebe. Yeah. I can't wait for you guys to meet her.

Phoebe is a young woman with crippling intimacy anxiety. And so she is about to turn 30 and she has not lost her virginity yet. So she has 30 days. She's giving herself 30 days before her birthday to do that. And in those 30 days, you know, lot happens. A lot can happen in 30 days. She might meet some people. There might be some love interests. There might be. There might be some therapy appointments. There might be some panic attacks. There will be. And there will also be a lot of fun and love and friendship. And I just can't wait

for you to get your hands on it. And also what I keep forgetting to say, which is also kind of a big deal, it's a two book deal so after you get your hands on Phoebe you will get your hands on something else as well so yeah there will be that's I think the big announcement there will be more later down the line such as when it comes out

and the cover and such like that but for now when somebody asks me what I do ask me what I do what do what do what do what do what do you do do do you do for work I'm an author Have you written anything that I might have heard of? My debut novel is actually coming out. Oh, really? What's it called?

Phoebe Berman's going to lose it. Oh, shut the hell up. Yeah. I'll put it on my good reads, want to read. Please do. I heard it was on, no. It's not anywhere. It's not there yet, but I will let you know when it's there.

What a freaking week. What a freaking week. Oh, so good, Brooke. We're so happy. Thank you, my love. Thank you. Everyone, I think we could all agree. We all said in unison, watch this space.

Watch this space. Yeah. Phoebe is sending her love. Thank you. Here's the episode. And when you say Kelly Clarkson collection, you mean literally this chair? That chair? That's a custom piece from Kelly.

Not custom mass produced. Customly mass produced by our girl, one of our close friend. These are custom non-Kelly Clarkson. That's Kelly Clarkson. So Kelly has a talk show and then she's like, you're seeing me sit in leather club chairs. You might want one that I would put my ass on. Do you hear the sound that my ass makes on this chair?

Do you not want this? Luckily, everything picks up on the mics. Oh my gosh. You know what, though? The Kelly Clarkson one is smoother and it's not making that same sound. And you pray as an artist that the Kelly Clarkson collection Wayfair, mass-produced chairs.

Yes. Don't do a cover of your song because you're toast, bitch. Yeah. Can you just put the mic to your ass as you do that? Please. I thought you'd never have. Now check this out. Oh.

Smooth is butter. Smooth as butter. Don't slip. Are we recording? I guess that's a question on everybody's lips. Are they professionals here at TMG Network? Of course. Not yet, but working on it.

Is that the mother of a four-month-old? Yeah. You could say that. He needs to record. Let's hug and go. He was ready 7 a.m. He was recording at 70 a Yeah

Okay I'm just gonna get some Connor how about you You go ahead You practice our intro We've been getting really good at practicing our So beautiful

We've been working on it I'm gonna pass it to you today 137 episodes Welcome back to Brooke and Connor Make a podcast We have How you say There's a certain

Junice qua About us today in the studio And the Junicequa is To our left Alana Glazer is here today And that's a sentence that I never thought would come out of my mouth, Alana.

I do need to get the fan girling out of the way right now so we can just move on. I mean, I'm like obsessed with you. You are just my comedy idol and just as a human as well too also. I'll take the baton whenever and just kind of echo. I'll echo Brooks. Can I have your, just one finger

would be great because we've been holding space for you in this studio for the longest time. You come up at least every episode at least one. Yes. So it's such an awesome. I'm honored to have you here today. It's unbelievable. I'm looking over. I'm like, was that chocolate protein bar this morning? Actually like a mushroom bar? Like, what am I looking? You're here. This is amazing. A vision. I'm here. I'm so proud of you. Oh, my gosh. I'm so impressed by your self-starterdom, your understanding the landscape and building within it.

I am so touched and moved by your little spirits. I'm about to you too. By your sweet little spirits. Your Zillennial vibe, I would have babysat you is kind of the thing that I, you know what I mean? Like I was with Brosky yesterday and I'm just like, as well, I would have babysat her as well. And I'm just so moved, you guys. It's so, it's like truly my honor to be here and honor to serve you in the way that you tell me I have. So I really appreciate it. So that is the episode. You guys.

Thank you so much. Thank you guys for listening today. Oh, my God. Gosh, you guys are so sweet. Oh, Alana. My little sweetie pies, my little babies. You came to my school when I was a freshman. Huh?

Be you. What? Yeah. What happened? You just, you and Abby did a thing. And it was first come, first serve. What did we do? A talk?

A talk. And I will say I did block out those four years of my life, so it's a little fuzzy. Sure. But you know I was there 7 a.m. Because it was first come first serve. And I had a great time. the line. Oh, sweet.

Did you get in? I did because I was one of the first. Okay. The experience stopped at the line. That's why I wasn't sure if. Oh, sorry. Yeah. I mean,

it was a fabulous experience. And I never use that word fabulous. I've never heard you say that. I never said fabulous. Wow. Well, that itself is fabulous. Fabulous. And you know what else is fabulous?

What? Human magic. Oh, thank you. You're special coming out on December 20th. That was a gorgeous transition, by the way. Yeah. Thank you. I want to make sure that we talk about it now because we do.

You tend to, you know, go in some different directions sometimes. I really appreciate your focus. Yeah, thank you, Alana. Completely fabulous. Thank you so much. And you really touched on something that I feel like we don't talk about a lot and we should be talking about every single day. The fact that what is happening in our bodies when we're pregnant, that is like sorcery.

The entire global society we live in and also what is rising up. right now is the denial of the powerful magic we hold in our bodies. Yes. It is incredible. We should be sitting in wonder. It is itself. It is life. Harry Potter could never. Oh, he could absolutely never. He is disappearing into the background like Marty McFly, you know, in Back to the Future. Do you guys know back to the future? Yes. Yes. Jesus. Yes, yes. You know what I mean? Just because of J.K. Rowling. But yeah, I was just saying to your producer, Ryan, who is a four-month-old, I was like, it's the most incredible experience of my life. But it's like, it is life.

And also like the way that we, you know, to choose not to have a baby is equally as powerful. Because it's like, you could do that and you're not. That's fucking cool. That is. And it's like nice to like rest. It's always nice to rest. I've always said that. I love rest.

I love rest. I love it. Yeah, well, thank you so much. Also, yeah, go ahead. And it's out on December 20th. Is that on December 20th? A lot of special, Human Magic, out on December 20th. On Hulu and Disney Plus Worldwide.

It was so fun. It was also so real, like watching you give a stand-up special, and it was so you. You know what I mean? I'm so glad. It's so interesting because you see a lot of comedians also grow out of, you know, they transition from one type of comedian, and then they go through life, and then they become, and there were so much you that I saw in Broad City. like, oh, gee.

And it's just, you're just like, you're the same person, but you're evolved more. Thank you so much. Thank you. I thought, oh, it was just, it was so crazy and so consistent to see, like, your humor shine through even with, like, new experiences. And the way that you describe your pregnancy, it's, it's like, oh, that's new. Like, I didn't know this was going to happen. I want to talk about this, we talked about this too.

We talked about this all the time because did you, when you, when you had your baby, did you have like a coming of age type situation where you're like I'm not the baby anymore. Oh, for sure. Right? Did we always talk about that? Well, yeah, because we're, you know, in our 20s, almost in our late 20s. And we're always like, when are we going to? I wouldn't say.

I wouldn't say. No, it's all perspective. I agree. We're always like, when are we going to feel like grownups? When is that going to happen? So we were wondering, like, does something like that happen when you have a child? For sure. it definitely does

but also what's crazy is like you yourself are a baby also when you have a baby it's so like gooo Gaga for the parents as well and yeah I would say that is one way to feel adult is to be fully responsible

for a little helpless creature you said that too you said they're just helpless and they have rubber neck and everything and I look at other people's babies and I don't feel like oh I have a father instinct that just kicked in. I'm like, ew, that's disgusting.

That baby looks like, like, like goo to me. Babies gross you out? Newborn babies. I get it. Yeah, I mean, I'm surely if I saw yours, I'd be like, that's, that's art. I mean, that's so sweet. It's like, you know, a lot of people, like, it's so weird to, like, you know, how do I say this?

I'm like, you know, yeah, me too. Let me, like, take one, one inhalation, one exhalation, and then speak a sentence. A group of words. I talk right through those. So notes. Um, you don't know what you're going to feel when you become a parent. I was like, uh, I feel really organized around it. And like, I've always wanted to be one. And, um, but some people like get there and they're like, oh, I don't like this. Yeah. I've heard in the last few years a conversation around like, I'm not, um, people say that they are going to be better. parents of older kids that they're not such like baby people which I get I do love babies but I get it

and also like it's it's very different you see other people's babies and you might be like or you right and um your own is different yeah I feel like it's like when someone talks shit about your sibling you talk shit about your sibling all the time as soon as someone's like yeah she is a bitch you say hey hey no no right no that's so true but I can talk about my sister She's a bitch. Absolutely. But you can't say that. Yeah.

Right. But like what feels like growing up to you guys? You're in your very early 20s. Very early. Almost a teen you could almost say. And you've built this show and following what feels. And this world, you know, this is like a world that you have. Like do you not feel grown up?

And you're like, we have this success, but we don't feel grown up. What's your deal? I don't feel grown up yet. I did just get a cat, and I'm not comparing my cat to a human baby, even though it can be tempting sometimes. That's the most grown up I've ever felt. Oh my gosh, on the plane yesterday, there were two individuals. I think they were a human couple. And they each had like wraps, like chest wraps of dogs.

I just ordered a baby Bjorn. A baby Bjorn for your cat. I just ordered a baby Bjorn for Jonathan. Wow. Yeah. And I never thought I'd be the one to do it. Yeah. Trust me.

I got him a few months ago. I didn't even like cats. Wow. To transition from not liking cats to baby Bjorn that quickly. That's an animal instinct. That's motherhood. Well, I can't speak to motherhood. But that's what I'm talking about.

Something clicked. Like this love inside of you bursts open and it's like it's shocking. That is how my special human magic begins. The joy of parenting is shocking. How hard it is. Like you're kind of prepared for it because that's like all anyone can fucking bitch about. all the time, which like I totally get. It's like so hard. But I think if we sat in wonder of the joy, capitalism would come to a halt. I love that so much because I was listening to it.

I love it. Oh my God. I'm chilling the youth. I was listening to one of your interviews. Oh my God. And you were saying that like the messaging behind motherhood is very much like March Simpsony like kind of like. Yeah. And I think that's so true. And just like the joy that you've brought to the concept of being a mother and being pregnant and giving birth in your special is just, it's so exciting for me as somebody who would love to do that one day. It gives me something to look forward to. I'm so glad. And it is, I so appreciate what you're saying about the continuation from Broad City to Babes to Human Magic because I've, um, Abby Jacobson, my Broad City partner went to art school and her parents were artists and she was always like able to claim that

role of an artist in a way that I was like, I don't know, I'm kind of more of a chimney sweep who does comedy, you know, and like the way that she like took it on, I always admired and learned from her. And I'm really arriving there now and able to see the whole like just being and living my life and then working on it in my therapy practice. And then once I've figured it out enough, let it go into art and like release it into the world. And, um, but you can feel in human magic like the broad city vibes around the stoner vibes around getting pregnant. Like, you know, as you saw in the special, like, it's like I smoked a little bit when I was, and I drank a touch, you know what I mean? But then at a certain point, and you may,

I'm just going to finish a sentence really quick. No, no. But then like you, I, I, then I really didn't need to anymore because like I'm tripping my balls off pregnant. Tripping my balls off. The drug of its own. There's like a person going like this, you know what I mean? Trying to like, it's crazy. It's, it's, it's fucking incredible. It's incredible.

Incredible. I have a question. Please. Do you ever wake up, you know when you go to sleep in a hotel room and you wake up and you're like, where am I? Like you wake up in the morning? Like, where's the restroom? What's the layout of this place?

I'm supposed to be in my room. Do you ever wake up and you've got like an eight-month-old. being in your body and you're like, what the hell just move? Like, is there a spider on me? Spider. Yeah, you know what? The other thing to the point of what I was saying earlier, this conversation, especially from mothers, of like, I'm just not a baby person.

And I'm, you know, that, which like respect for like being able to locate that and say it. A lot of people also, like, you get pregnant and it's like the thing you got to do to make a person. But like a lot of people don't like it or it freaks them out, which I totally get. I think once closer to the end, I was like, oh, like it was like, it felt like I wasn't like watering a plant, but I was like renting the main area of my house. You know, it's like as though you have like reconstruction. I've never done like a renovation, but people like complain about their renovations or whatever. And it's like they can't use their kitchen or what it was like I can't use the kitchen. You know.

So I get it. But I found it so fascinating that I did enjoy it. But yes, where am I? Were there times you forgot? No. Oh, you never forget. Oh, God. Also, as you know from my special, my tithes were.

They didn't let you forget. And I walk you through. Like, I got big titties young and they've sort of been like leading me around the world, like and organizing my existence. But then when I was pregnant, I was like drowning in my titties. They were like choking me out. They were up here. As I tell you, they were hitting my chin.

So I couldn't forget because I couldn't breathe because my tities were choking me out. Wow. And these are things like they just don't tell you. Nobody tells you anything. No one tells you anything. Systematically unlearning, systematically keeping women from knowing our own bodies so that we don't realize how powerful we are. Why don't we know anything about our bodies?

I learned so much just from babes and your special, which obviously I'm so glad I did. and you are truly doing the Lord's work, but like, I should have learned that. 100%. So long ago. As you saw in my special, I puked foam. I wanted to ask you about

when I was pregnant. And then I tell my mother, I'm all worried thinking she's going to really give a shit. And she's like, oh, no, I did that too. I was like, but you didn't tell me. Ready to soundtrack your summer? With Red Bull Summer All Day Play,

Whoa. What do you mean? No, that was just kind of what your mom to me, like when you said like, yeah, we're all, we're all puking foam, we just don't talk about it. Yeah, yeah. Did you ever figure out what the foam was? I think it's like, um, just like, Pregnancy bile.

I don't know. I don't know. Like weird pregnancy latte puke. Oh. Love. And I also didn't know about birthing the placenta. Which feels like a big thing that I should know. Girl.

So this is a thing from Babes, my movie with Michelle Boutot, also on Hulu and maybe Disney Plus, but definitely on Hulu. Yeah. As I was writing that movie with Josh Rabinowitz, who had his, he and his wife had their baby, his wife, their baby, just a couple months before I had mine, we were like, that was a crazy part that we didn't know. His wife isn't in women's health. She's in reproductive justice and women's health and we just didn't even know. And it's like hard because you're pushing something. It's as heavy as a baby. We did a little segment because we really pride ourselves on transparency here on the podcast and not knowing what seems to be, it should be basic knowledge.

I love it. And we go through it and we. And we. learn these things and we hide no shock because it started with us because we'd started the conversation around placentas because people like Courtney Kardashian had had created supplements placenta supplements and I was like should I take those I'm always I keep an open mind I love it and turns out no I would I would not receive any benefit from eating placenta oh really from consuming someone else's placenta nothing there that honestly surprises me because I would think it was full with vitamins I kept my placenta and made them ice cube and put them in my smoothies.

Whoa. Okay. I had... This is a B&T exclusive right now, I feel like. You have to like blend it? I don't even think I know what a placenta looks like. It looks like a slab of meat. It looks like an organ.

Wow. And a cool woman named Wendy took it. Okay. And then did what she did with it and put it into like an ice cube tray. And then I would put it in my smoothie and I didn't taste. or anything like that. Wow. But I was like, I made these nutrients.

I might as well benefit from them. Wow. And do you know? Rockin, right? Like fucking hard fucking corner. And she did a whole thing. I'm like, why don't you put the placenta? Lazy?

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's amazing and it's it is worth being in Wonder of and I appreciate your Oh my God. No, I lose words when we, well. Oh, I love it. Magic. It is.

It's human magic. Mm-hmm. And I do feel like, I know we talked about Harry Potter. there's so many corridors and things in Harry Potter. I'm like, how did you guys not know that there was like a massive three-headed dog in that room? And it's like, for the same way about the placenta. That's our massive three-headed dog that's just like you create in your body. Like how, where was that?

I've never seen or read any of it. So I have no idea what you're talking about. I know about Voldemort? You what? I just, sorry. You got a kick. A little kick. I'm on a Harry Potter kick.

Oh, I thought you meant from a baby. I did have a green smoothie this morning. That's so funny. will be a little kick at some point. Voldemort's a thing, right? Voldemort is a thing. And that's evil. Rafe finds?

Yes. That's what I know of Harry Potter. And of course, the three children who are now grown-ups. Right. Yes. But yeah, just like watching those,

it's just like this is really truly nothing compared to what happens in a woman's body. It's just like totally, absolutely fake and fantasy. And it's like, why are we focusing on this? Completely. What's happening where we come from? It's not like one up,

You have to be the person who birds to enjoy the wonder of it. We come from this, which is crazy. Did you know that you were technically, and I saw this in TikTok, so take it with a grain of salt, but also I don't see how it's not true. You were in your grandmother's stomach because your mom had all of the eggs that she was ever going to have when she was in there. And by stomach uterus. Of course, that is what I meant. Right. Yeah, stomach would be bad.

That would be bad. That would be pooping eggs. That would be horrible. Yeah. Uterus. But that's right. So my baby had all her eggs when she was born. So if she chooses to have children in the future, I had those eggs in my womb.

Oh my God. That's crazy. You're already very close with your potential future grandchildren. Come on. I'm obsessed. I'm obsessed with them. with them. Me too.

Are you going to be like Mama Bear? That's as far as I can go. Does anyone else know what I mean? Like Mama Bears Unite. I don't know how to explain it. It's like a really online term. I don't know how I was... Mama Bears Unite is an online term?

Well, so basically one time I said, don't give your babies an iPad. Like have some respect. Just give them a Benadry like a good parent. You know, when you're at the airport. On a plane? I got attacked by the Mama Bears. I was joking big.

I felt like it was clear. Don't give your newborn a Benadryl. Give them a little whiskey like they used to. But I also a joke, Mama Bears. But the Mama Bears are like this really aggressive, they don't really mess around with their kids, health, not community of people online that are like, do you know what I'm talking about?

I mean, I remember when you did that. When you did that. Did you get pissed? Did I get dragged into it? I kind of just sat there and took it in. nodded and I mean it's tough when you're

I see both I see both comedies I see you as the comedian trying out new material and I see the mama bears wanting to protect right well I want to be clear I was not giving anyone else's children Benadryl as well

I was just doing a thing like you're not putting AirPods in your children's ears as they play coca melon on the flight out loud. So it may be a pinadryl. Coca melons is really bad. Is it? Coca-mellon.

Bad cocoa melon. It is designed to distract children and hold their attention in visually and visually dangerous ways that genuinely destroys parts of their brains. It's made by AI and the system in which it is made is not a good one to work in. so Brittany Brosky also mentioned coca melon are you guys young enough that you were exposed to coca melon like not as a child but I do

it does suck me in if it's on and I'm near the Sesame Street that's great okay that's good stuff okay but coca melon is literally dangerous for brain health I believe it it's like mush it's like yeah it'll like if the moment of baby's about to get distracted

it explodes color over here it's truly like crack or like a like a bad drug for kids. So let's just put that message out. That's good. Don't show your children coconut. Okay, great.

That's good now. Mama bear. So what are you asking me? That's a good question. The other question I have to ask you is, do you guys know what the, like, the wellness to alt-right pipeline is? We're very familiar with the. We're very, very well-bred. So are the mama-bear is part of that?

I would say they're teetering on being so in their ways that now they're not listening to professionals that's what i'll say yeah so yes they're on that pipeline yeah so then i guess i would say you were just making a joke and let it roll off your shoulder yeah okay do you do you do you show your daughter any like any like any iPad content or anything like that i don't know um like on a flight we'll do like yeah we have we watch tv but i like when it's further away so there's a world around the entertainment that she's remembering she's not allowed to hold a phone We stopped that. Wow.

We had to sort of work that out. But it was like, no, like it's, it makes your world too, in my opinion, it makes my kids world too small. And I don't want her to hold even a phone. Right. But for the iPad, she can definitely FaceTime family. And, you know, even on long drives, on drives we're like stuck in like talk, which is nice. And we'll listen to music. Flights, maybe.

But we watch truly plenty of TV. But longer storylines. And we also try to talk about it as it's happening. So it's an activity we're engaging in. Sometimes I walk away to go fold the laundry or whatever or grab the laundry to then fold next to her. But yeah, I'm really, I want to limit short form content. And I think that discussing character arcs is useful. Mm-hmm.

Can be useful. I was watching Sesame Street the other day. Actually, there was a segment where Andrew Garfield was talking about the grief that he's experienced with losing his mother. And I mean, hysterically, like, sobbing. And I think that that was so powerful. And I think such a gift for children to be able to watch something like that. That was so beautiful. So beautiful.

So I feel comfortable saying I'm pro Sesame Street. Is that sound right? 100%. Okay. 100%. They've nailed it. Sesame Street nailed it. I also think there's a lot of programs like that.

That now when I look back, I'm like, oh my God, double messaging. Like the parents are sitting here and like, I just got a new message from this piece of content that I saw hundreds of times as a kid that was like, that's fun. And then I'm like, SpongeBob was a big one for me where I'm like, oh my God, that is such a deeper message. Yes. See, like I watched SpongeBob. I was in high school and I was like using weed at the time. And it was more just like funny and silly, but I never got a deeper message, but I haven't really revisited it. What kind of deeper messages are you getting?

I might need to look back and make sure that I'm thinking of SpongeBob. I did have a panic attack during that new animated movie Inside Out or like the emotion one. Fully about death. No, thank you. I like started thinking about it too hard. Wait about death? Was it about soul? Soul.

Oh. soul. Yeah. I kind of wish that I had learned about that young and that we talked about it so that it wasn't so scary. I mean, it just, it freaked me out the nothingness that they portray in that movie, which was like so fun for this little like blob of animation, blue color, like really sweet. But then as an adult, you're like, oh my God, he's dead. He's so dead. Were you high? No. No question. If I would have been high, I would have, I think, caught on fire. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm serious. I enjoyed Soul, but Inside Out 2. Did you guys see it? Not yet. I was, it's so good inside out one is so good.

Instead out two was so good. I was sobbing. It's about a teenie. Riley, the main character is a teenager now or like a tween. And it's about anxiety. And I was, I so related to it, I was uncontrollably sobbing. My daughter was sitting on my lap and, I was sobbing so hard.

She goes like this. She goes, get a grip. And I was like, I know, I know. You know, like I was,

I was sobbing. She was like, you know, misty-eyed. My husband was like misty-eyed tearing up. But I was sobbing. It was so good.

And such a release, like such a great container for a release of emotions. Wow. Do you ever get high to watch those types of movies? Yeah. I wanted to ask you about like being high

and being a mother and mothering. at the same time. Do you, how does that impact mothering, I guess? Because when I smoke, and I know everyone has a different experience, everything just seems so, I guess, magical and like elevated. Do you have that experience while smoking and mothering? I'm saying that like drinking and driving, but I mean like positive connotation smoking

and mothering? For sure. I don't really, um, I smoke a little. I do. Uh, little hits, as you saw. in human magic and blow it out the hood fan above the stove. Right. I do that and I live alone.

Yeah. Like the first and foremost is like it is so trippy. I am so like tripping balls and in amazement with the magic of my daughter unfolding before my eyes that like I don't really. It's not so much like this decision. It like kind of either happens or doesn't. It's not. I'm not so organized around the weed.

organized around is like just turning off my phone and stopping working and turning my brain off so I can be present. But I would say also like becoming a parent is like an incredibly effective way to learn your limitations and to accept them. So I don't like I wouldn't get high and go outside with her. I can't handle that shit. You know what I mean? But like to like get a little high and watch something. Yeah.

or like take a bath. It's like, oh, I could, and then I'm not rushing to get out. Right. You know, I'm like a little high and, you know, yeah. I have never related to anything more than when you said, I have earned every time I feel chill on weed because I earned that with the first 10 minutes being like pushing off a panic attack. That's right. I think I said it in way too many words, but you were like, my chill session when I am high is an earned one. I'll give it to you succinctly, my friend Connor. Inhuman magic, I reflect on of the. Thousands of times I've gotten high in my life. I have never once gotten high and immediately chilled.

I have exclusively gotten high, had a panic attack, and then earned my chill. Have you ever gotten high, had the panic attack, and then not earned the chill and just kept going with the panic attack? Oh, I mean, no. I think maybe I would earn it more violently. Like you eventually get there But it's like how hard is it to get there It's nice when it's like gentler, right? Like the more even

If you're just like, oh I'm a little nervous It's okay, it's okay But if you're nervous and you're like Where are you a fucking idiot? Are you a loser that you can't just chill out? You know and then Die one day by the way Yeah

What'd you say? No, that was my own conversations That I have. You'll die one day Oh, you're afraid of death Which makes sense You know what I mean? That makes sense

That's we both talk Perfectly normal We both talk I have a dog who's not with me right now. I just finished a comedy tour, so he's been with my parents while I was touring. And it was really nice to be a little high in my house and have the dog because he's like a safe deep blanket.

That is insane to see an animal, like to have an animal jump up on your bed after a gummy. Well, having lived with a dog for so long and then getting a little bit high and then being like, he's on my house. And I'm like, well, what were those noises 10 minutes ago? He wasn't in his house. No, because then, you know, I get a lot high.

I'm like, I start hearing things like, I'm behind you. Like, and I'm like, you know, I start hearing. What are you smoking? I'm only doing edibles, but I'll convince myself. You know what's like crazy too? It's like I, um, I started like really smoking when I was about 17. And like I like lost my damn mind at times. Really?

Especially in college when I was like, had all this pressure on myself. I wanted to pursue comedy. Get into comedy. Yeah. What the fuck am I doing at college? college was so uncomfortable, NYU, like, everything was so intense. And, um, weed can be really powerful. And I, you know, um, just want to warn you. Did you find weed is different now, too. I think that the weed, not your grandmother's weed. It is not your grandmother's sweet. Like,

there's no shaggy weed to be found. Right. Sometimes you want that, you know. Um, who knew that your grandmother would have you inside of her before your mother was born. Yeah. Knowing that you were going to be smoking Delta 8. That's right. In 2024. You do have to be careful. We did. is really intense these days and we live in such an addictive culture. I've started getting this messaging about, yeah, that like weed is more potent than it maybe should be. Yeah. And there's like added, I don't know. I mean, I'm, I'm kind of talking out of my ass, but I think there's just like more added. Yeah. Materials. Also, bad transition, but another question. Do you feel like weed inspires you creatively?

Like, do you smoke and write? I can't really actually write. There were times in the Broad cities, broad cities, there were times in the broad city writers room that we'd maybe be stuck and I'd get a little high and we'd go for a walk. Remove yourself. So writing regarding getting movement and a different perspective, yes, but I can't write I can't get high and sit and write, but I used to pretend that I could. Yeah, I was like, it's part of my fross.

No, it's not part of my presence. It's like literally impossible for me. That's actually a really good suggestion to do a walk instead of trying to force yourself. Oh, yes. Because like half of writing is stepping away from the writing. That's so true. Which is a hard thing to, it's again, this like pressure that I sense you guys and especially you have on yourself and you want to stick with the thing.

And it's like, in fact, it is related to death. You know what I mean? Like life is good, good, good. Like, life is nothing without death. It wouldn't be life. Right. And it's like writing is nothing without like stepping away from it. I had this professor in college who I seriously had, have never hated any, like, I don't only hate that many people.

Oh my gosh. But he just had this like power complex where he would grade our creative ideas and give them a letter grade or a number grade. And I was like, I hate you. This is a good idea. How does go ahead, sorry. No, no, no, but the one thing that he gave me that I retained really well was you need an outlet that has nothing to do with what you do professionally. Right. So that you remove yourself and then you can step back in and have flow state.

Right. Perhaps that is what my child is for me because I like don't really have hobbies. You know, and I don't have a dog. Also, like I really have been enjoying like doing, uh, skin care, you know, I just like a hobby. And I'm like, is this my hobby? Yes, that's a totally valid hobby. Some people really consider it art. Truly.

And I love watching videos with skincare too. I know. I know. It's like, but it's true. Like you need to step away from the thing for sure. Yeah. We also struggle with finding hobbies because every time I find a hobby, I'm like, how can I monetize this?

I know. You know, it's like, no, no, no. No, no. Just enjoy it. Like put your phone away. you can't monetize walks really unless I bring my phone and I make it. That's my thing. That's my thing. It's like walking and talking. I just love talking. I love like getting dinner with friends, cooking. Like your basic shit. You're all hopping out and talking is is storytelling. And that's a hobby. And then you can record it and make a podcast. It's truly it's hard to not keep feeding the cycle and to pause from it. It really is. Especially like the entertainment. Yeah. Situation. It's like, okay, this could be a video. This could be a TikTok. Like we could use this.

to promote something else and it's like shut up shut up and it does so organically feed into your life flow I totally relate do you guys turn your phones off oh god no I need I think my cat

thinks my phone is a part of my body your cat is kind of correct it changed the way that my pinky is shaped yeah it is changing our bodies and becoming part of it have a shelf on like even to even when you fall asleep Alana, it's under my pillow.

I might have lost my life. Free will. But I don't think so. I see a human spark that is just shining bright. And it's like if you can just turn it off as you saw in human magic, that's like truly

what I consider Shabbat. I turn my phone off on Friday night and I'm like, I'm a rabbi pretty much. And this is Shabbat and I recommend it. Shabbat Shabbat Shabbat. I'm going to do that as well. should be observing Shabbat and that feels like a beautiful way. Once a day to turn it off like to go to sleep is what I do. And then also when I can Friday night, Friday at Sunday at Sunday.

And it gives me peace and reminds me of a time at which my phone was not an extension of my consciousness. Yeah. Sometimes I just get scared like what if something happened. Totally. Maybe I should get a landline as well. We can chat. Maybe we should bring back landlines. Or AOL messenger, although we'd have to do that.

on a phone. I guess you don't have to turn off your computer. I would like to be able to set an away message on my I message be like hey I'm observing Shabbat so find someone else for this. I actually just remembered speaking of Shabbat a story that I learned at Hebrew school. I actually might have told this before. Hit us again. That completely like cured my fear of death if anyone wants to hear it. Please. The Jello theory. He told me that, and I actually don't remember exactly how he told the story, but basically there's a mother who has twins in her uterus and the twins are about to come out into this world. And they're basically like, goodbye. It was nice.

It was nice knowing you because that's the only life that they've ever known. And they think that they're essentially about to die. But really what's happening is that they're being born into this life. life. So basically we're the twins now and we don't we don't know what's coming and that healed me. I love that. That's beautiful. Thank you. Some people refer to death as a transition. Yeah, it's a transition. And I appreciate it. The transition out of out of the womb. Never in my life did I think we would touch on death so many times with you here. It's it's such a theme for you. It is for everybody, but like it's very interesting to me what's coming up for you. Yeah. Sometimes talking about it helps. Yeah. And sometimes it hurts.

you let us know where you stand right now and how we can help how do you feel right now about death I have a question for you actually another one do you feel because I feel this way to my unborn children that are just a twinkle in my eye right now and my glazed over eye um do you feel like you'll live vicariously through your daughter at all like I always wanted to be good at skiing really guess who's going to be skiing I'm sure that I will but I'm like I'm definitely like

aware of the mistake of that and trying so hard not to project my past experiences onto her as her own right so I definitely do already

make that it's a mistake like I consider it a mistake I do already, but I'm working really hard not to. But you know what? Like, I guess the thing that is really happening is that you're reliving your own experience. So that's kind of what I'm trying to do is like reflect on that and heal from the trauma that I've experienced rather than think it's about her. Because she's having her own whole thing. Right.

But it is, it's definitely a practice. My mom made me do piano lessons for. were so long and I hated it. I hated it. I hated my teacher. I hated going to her house. It smelled so bad. The lights were off. I was like this is just like not. The lights were off. I was like, but she's a theater teacher. So it's kind of just, I know. Honestly makes it riskier to me. You justify a lot of things. Yeah. Turn the lights on, babe. Just flip them on because I could see the notes easier. Because I'm a child and I'm alone in your house with you. Like inappropriate. Yeah. I agree. Hindsight's 50-50. But I, I,

I'm sitting there and I'm learning this thing over and over and over again. I was like, as soon as I'm allowed to stop doing this, I'm done. I'll never look at the piano again. I regret that. I wish I did that. But my mom has a piano in her house that she's never learned. And it's like, oh my God, I was learning it for you. It's also like, girl, get a piano lesson.

Get a piano lesson. That line that's like, Dad, it's your dream. That's from high school musical. Oh, that makes sense. That's so funny. Does Zach Effron say that? Is Dad, that's not my dream. No, I don't know.

Zach doesn't say. I would know if Zach said that. You would, sorry. It's okay. I think it's just like a typical I think it's a typical like coming of age Dad that's your dream I love that oh fuck And I really like I have thought deeply about like

If I have a son and he wants to do sports over musical theater Like that's something I'll have to support and it will be gut wrenching It will be gut wrenching but I am prepared to I'm prepared to go to the soccer games And you're going to have to like create a musical theater experience for yourself to like work it out Exactly You can live my dream and live my dream and live my dream and let my son live his. Totally.

Yeah, that's something that we can do. You can still learn to play the piano now. You're empowering me right here on our Kelly Clarkson wait for a collection chair. Yeah, and the customs too. But I thought your chairs weren't the Kelly Clarks. I mix it up every time and Brooke gentle parents me to remind me. Actually, I think you've kind of gentle parent given up. No, I did.

I just flagged it. I'll never give up on reminding you. These are the original customs. Right. And a lot of sitting... These are really custom chairs? Is he these are, these are custom? Gorge.

Oh my God. We really were excited about the library. High end. Very high end. Good job. Very grown. I like to say that's some grown up shit. That is grown up shit.

Really. Wow. Custom chairs. Custom chairs. For your YouTube show. For our grown up. For our grown up. That's adult shit in 2024.

It is. That's a good thing to flag because it's like sometimes the grown up things fly under the radar and you don't even realize. And they're being redefined like the grown up shit that like baby boomers and their parents, the greatest generation, L.O.L. scripted as mature are such babyish fucking things. So absolutely keep redefining what adulthood is because you are the thought leaders in the space. That's so true. And I also think it's hard to feel like an adult because our parents, I know my mom had already had me by the age that I am now. So it's hard to be like, oh, I'm a grown up when my parents were like so, quote unquote.

quote ahead. But that's like an external thing, you know what I mean? Like growing up is actually an internal thing, which is separating from your mother. Yes. Yeah. And knowing who you are. Like, you don't have to have a kid to do that. Yeah. I love the tweets that are like, you're all moving at your own pace. Like everyone's moving at your own pace. And you're like, yeah. And then it's like, it's okay to wait until 32 to have a baby. And I'm like, okay, hold on. Like, how about 40? Come on. Come on. Come on now. You know what? crazy. I think about this all the time. We talked about this one time. When I was watching Brought City for the first time, I was in college, and we were illegally streaming it and airplaying it. Or no,

we had an H-E-My cord, and we would dangle a laptop from the fireplace to the TV. And I was like, ah, like, these girls are figuring it out, and there's so much time to figure it out. And now I watch it back, and I go, these girls are figuring, I watch it back still. These girls are figuring it out. And then you say, I mean, I don't know, I'm already 20. Oh my God. You were 24 in that show? Like your character? Were you?

I was I was 27 when the show first aired. I was 22 when we started making the web series. Okay. I was 24 when we sold our first script to FX. Wow. And then Comedy Central picked it up. I was 25.

Well, committed to making the pilot. And then it was on the air And I was 27 Yeah, it's always interesting Are you saying like you watch something And you're like, I have so much time And then you watch it back when you're older And you're like, oh

Well, I didn't, yeah, I didn't catch when I was 18 Watching for the first time Right The age. Right. But now I think I'm so hyper aware of like where people are And like, I'm like, oh, they've just moved to the city I don't know what age I thought I put on Broad City

When I was 19, 18 But then now I look up I look back and I'm like Oh my God, those are children. You know, notorious VIG, Biggie Smalls. He was 24 when he was killed. Yeah. When I was a kid, I thought he was like 50 years old.

Yeah. And like, you know, systemically, like what he was talking about was way older than he should have had to deal with. He was 24 when he was killed. A literal, like, brilliant artistic kid. Yeah. That is some crazy shit. Couldn't rent a car. Couldn't have rented a car.

So wise, wise beyond his years. Yeah. And so, yeah, age is a social construct. It's so funny, though, for you to think of the Broad City Girl says so old. Because we were so, you know, like the tip of the spear was that we were young and dumb in a fun way. Yeah. When you're 17, 18, you hear someone's 23 and you're like, what the fuck? Yeah.

That is it. We're smoking. We're fucking. We're living on our own. Pass. Yeah. Like you're about to die. Yeah.

I used to think that. Like, I remember in like second grade, I was like looking ahead at fifth grade as the final year in elementary school. And I was like, I'm not going to make it. Yeah. I never saw my self past 11. 100%. Then when I was in sixth grade, I was like, I'm not going to make it to high school. I will probably die like in eighth grade.

That's normal because I also always felt that way. I am wondering now if it's Jewish. Hmm. That could very well be. be. But you seem goyish and you seem very focused on death. I hang out Brooke a lot. Yeah. Yeah. I think I've, I like, since I hung out with her, I got IBS from her. It's not even contagious. How does that work? Yeah. Osmosis or I get it. We had a dog, a Labrador who wouldn't go in the rain. And I was like, I guess you're a Jewish dog. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that was more nurture than nature. All of our dogs have

been severely mentally ill. Right. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Revere mental illness. Yeah. So I believe it. And I'm sorry. about your IBS. You should try cilium husks. I think I'm... Like, fibrous husks of, like, a grain that you mix with water and swallow, and it helps, like, bring fibrature poops. So everyone on our podcast, which has somehow turned into, like, a gastron, intillology, whatever the word is. Someone helped me. I had a stroke. Everyone's been keeping up with my stomach ache journey, which, like, because if you look back

a year, you two years, I was like, you guys are adults. Like, what? Why do you have a stomach? Well, when I met you, you weren't even comfortable talking about poop at loud, which is very related to death. What? Yes. Because you poop when you die. Because you poop when you die.

And it's also like, and when you give birth. Yep. That's right. That's right. And it's sort of like about. I poop coming in here. I'm going to poop on the way out. That's like gone from you.

Like you will be gone one day. and also just, you know, disappear. So poop's been a metaphor for death this whole time. It is related to it. I didn't articulate it well. No, I, it's very related to death. I'm seeing you. Like anal retention also.

It's like you don't want to let go of your life. You might be holding onto life real hard. I heard you mentioned way at the beginning of the episode your therapy practice. Yeah. Are you a therapist? No, but I'm in a lot of therapy. Okay. I mean a lot of it.

You're practicing therapy with, okay. I mean a lot of it. Because you just fully, like I caught on. I'm like, a lot of like intuition, just like all of these wise nuances. Well, also like I'm having this experience since into Clurb. And then also like I'm here doing all this like YouTube stuff. And I'm and, you know, lots of podcasts. And I'm really like confronting my cultural babies, which is what I consider you.

And so I'm really reflecting on my broad city. journey artistically and creatively and creatively. And I've developed, like I was saying, I've developed this like sort of practice of like each like sort of bucket in my life feeding itself from actual life and be, well, I won't say actual life. It's all my life. But like being and pausing productivity to like working on it because I need a lot of fucking help because I'm depressed and anxious by nature. And then working on it so much that I can create about it and then releasing it pooping. it out and letting it just exit like we will one day exit this world.

So I'm just like really noticing your energy and relating to it and like sort of yeah relating to it. Oh my God. Wow. That's really beautiful. Yeah. Who would have known we had a connection

just via poop this whole time? Poop and death and there's only three true things in the world. Taxes poop and death. Yeah. Taxes poop and death. Everybody poops. Everybody dies.

Yeah. And not everybody does their taxes. their taxes though. Wow. Yeah. That's so damn true. You have something just that you want. I have been, I don't know how to bring it back to pregnancy and the uterus.

But I was watching babes again last night. Oh, my goodness. Brooke. Thanks. I appreciate it. And I'm so moved. Like truly. Like one of my favorite movies.

It's so good. Thank you. Thank you so much. But I learned, you know, two things from babes. Water breaking. Uh-huh. I didn't know that it could be like a trickling and a, and a misting. My understanding of water breaking was it's this big, dramatic moment.

And now I'm learning you might not even feel it. Yeah. Um, in babes, I like go on and on about, you know, in the movies, it's this monsoon, whoosh, but it really can be trickling. Um, it's, uh, uh, I, uh, I, I, I shouldn't give away someone else's. Someone in my life who I work with had a monsoon wish of a water breaking. She's a publicist on somebody else's photo shoot.

Like you're water breaking on a white psych of your client's photo shoot. Yeah. How like crazy is that yet? But my water, I think, had to be broken at the hospital. Sometimes it's a trickle. And you're like, what is that? And it's like, you're water broke. You're in labor.

And somebody might not be feeling the contractions. Right. So there's a variety of ways in which your water can break or not at all and they have to break it. And now I'm wondering what even is the water that I should like that's something I should know. You know it is a no, you shouldn't know it. You have been the entire world has been organized to make sure you don't know it. Don't beat yourself up for that. Yeah. Like the whole, but that's even just wild to to think about. The power structure we live in, which is now rising as global authoritarianism is to make. make sure you don't know your own feelings and emotions because feelings are felt in the body and so that you don't know how your body works. It's like really scary. That's really scary. So why don't we know about this? I don't know. I mean, I do. L.O.L. I just said it. But your water breaking can be many things. There's also this thing called a mucal plug. Do you know about that? I might have heard of the mucal plug. So that plugs up the water, I think. I think the water is, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Well, that's something for me to learn later. That's, we could even. But it like unplugs and then the water comes out. So if you're like all plugged up. And then you won't feel the unplugging.

I don't think you'll feel it. It's also like, it's everything's so sensitive and wild. And you can't even like see. You know what I mean? Underneath that it's like it is helpful or I found it helpful to have a partner for sure. And I was like what's going on down there. Check what's happening. Yeah.

Fully and truly. Really and truly. Oh my gosh. If that happened to me. No, something I was thinking about during babes is that we talk so much about like how big of a deal birthing is. But there's also all of the things that are so scary leading up to it. And women are just like so brave.

Like the amnia. That's what it's called. Right. Yes. The size of that. Like that's the first time I'd ever seen. It's a test. It's a test.

Yeah. So if you have like a predisposition to. genetic abnormalities or if you're 35 or older, 35 or older is considered a geriatric pregnancy. Key word. Bitch. Yeah. So because my character in babes, Eden, named after my best friend Eden, Reese, shout out to Eden. Oh, Davis, L.O.L. I said her. Made a name. So my character, Eden, her partner is not available, let's say. And so they do this test in amniocentesis to see if there are genetic abnormalities

because they can't also test the father. And it literally is like a cartoon one foot needle that goes through the belech into my belech. Do you guys know Austin Powers? Yeah. Okay, great. So it goes through the bellich. Oh my God.

And you go like to the placenta and then pull out like a sample so that you can genetically test those cells. But like, are you kidding me? That is so scary. aren't we talking about? Why aren't we just congratulating women who've gotten an amniocentesis or congratulating pregnant people who've gotten an amniacentis? That's feeling as, that's feeling as almost as big as the birth to me right now. Absolutely. Absolutely. And you'll definitely have to get that if you're Jewish, huh? Um, sorry to. No. If you're under 35 and your partner is

available to do the testing, you won't. I think it's funny. Okay. 35 is a geriatric pregnancy for a woman, but the youngest you can run for president as a man. That's the youngest the president could be. Well, any gender. I have to go. We all live in this system, Connor. Connor, like, what's scary is that I didn't even flag that. Yeah.

I had to just do a quick lap. How old is Ryan? Because I'm sweating a little bit. Cool, I'm 37. Okay, so we're elder millennials and we just have more capacity to do critical thinking because we actually learned that in school, which I don't believe you did. So don't worry about it.

Okay. You're all, unfortunately, locked into the system. And, you know, we use our free human will to rise up out of the system with awareness and then take action.

Yeah. You just saw an incredibly qualified candidate who happened to be a woman lose. So no wonder you said that. I'm programmed. Do you have any advice in getting out of the system? Yeah. reading, talking, learning about the history of this country, the genocidal tactics employed

in order to build this country, the history of Native Americans in this country, the history of African Americans in this country. And then learning your own history, you know, in your own way, because it's like Hebrew school, we're taught a certain thing. Right. but then to sort of seek out my own Jewish thought leaders, like John Stewart, for example. You know what I mean? But I'm a Goldman, whatever, and Jewish artists and stuff.

Yeah, I would say American history, like learning real American history. Fascinating. I had never, I just read this tweet the other day. You just read a tweet the other day. I read this tweet the other day because I was doing some reading. And someone said, I had never. never even considered Dr. Pepper to be a woman. That is so funny.

Hello. That's funny. Me neither. That's funny. And you know that riddle. Oh, the riddle. Of course. You know the riddle?

No. Well, we won't be able to tell you it because I don't know it. Do you know it? Oh, it sounds like we're going to. Should we pull it up? No, I know it. It's like you're, hmm. Yeah.

No, I can do it. Okay. You're, okay. A kid. Yeah. It's kind of morbid. A kid gets in an accident. And no, I don't know it.

I'll be honest. I don't know it. I'm not afraid to admit it. Can we pull it up? It's so... It's defining of this generation. And do you consider yourself zillenials? I kind of abide by...

By law, you're a millennial. South Korea had given its citizens two years back during COVID age-wise. They have allowed everyone to change. their age. So I'm kind of using that technique. So South Korea allowed people to change their age. They allowed during COVID. They gave them two years back. Go ahead and change your on like their driver's licenses. I believe so. I think like in in law. That is creative. I'm loving that. I'm loving that. Why not three is what is my question. But by birth year we are technically millennials. But I definitely feel more aligned with. I see what you're saying like the years you love. And what

is your space time government age? Space time government age. Is that real life age? Yeah. 28. Sorry, space time U.S. government age on birth certificate,

28. In South Korea, you're 26? In South Korea. Yeah, it would be 26, right? 26. What a beautiful. Kind of rolls off the tongue, right? 26.

Yeah. I almost rolls off the tongue. 28? Cool. I'm 37. In many ways. Okay, read this to me so I don't, go ahead.

I'm going to do it like by like a U. R-A-L oral learning. Yes. I love that. A father and his son are in a car accident. That's it. The father dies at the scene and the son is rushed to the hospital. At the hospital, the surgeon looks at the boy and says, I can't operate on this boy. He is my son. How can this be? The father dies at the scene and the son is rushed to the hospital. At the hospital, the surgeon looks at the boy and says, I cannot operate on this boy. He is my son. How can this be? I mean, maybe it's the thing of like, we are all God's children or something. Okay, Christian Alana's here.

What is up? Jesus freaks. How could this be? I have no idea, but I'm not like good at math. You're not going to like the answer. I mean, you're going to love the answer, but you're not going to like what? Give it to her. The doctor is his mother.

Oh, God. Oh, my God. Also an option? Gay dads. Well, that's where I had went. Right. Oh, my God. I said the same thing you said.

That is so, isn't that sad? And sad. Oh, my heart's racing. I know. Oh, my God. I know. I can never myself a feminist. Yes, of course.

And even the fact we were talking about that for the past hour and it's still, it's not your fault. A lot of the system. Wow. See, I have so much on learning and learning to do. Yeah. Yeah. Dr. Pepper's a woman.

Wow. Yeah. Spread the good word. That is so. frightening to me. And sad. I'll say that. I'm saying frightening,

but that's distancing. I'm actually sad. When I'm up close to what I'm sad. And I'm sorry, I'm sorry we had to do that. I appreciate it. I'm never going to forget this. I wasn't going to beforehand,

but this now it's cemented. I love the riddle because we do think about this riddle a lot. Like I feel like it comes up often when we're challenging the system. And it's like, I'm like, oh, the surgeon's a woman. The surgeon's a woman. Women can be surgeons.

Yeah, they come. And they all. Yeah. My best friend Eden is a surgical physician's assistant. Okay, shout out once again to Eden. Thank you for your service. It's like I know this bitch from 11 years old. I know that she's doing surgery on cancer and cancer tities in particular.

I think of her doing her work and what a badass she is and I'm not even thinking of a woman being a surgeon. Something for everyone to think about. Fuck. Take this with you today. How long are you in L.A.? 48 hours. 48 hours and you graced us here. Oh my God.

You don't know. I'm so thrilled. You know what I really wanted to get to though? I saw on like the sort of prep sheet flossing. I think that is something that we should talk about. You're like, is flossing bad? Why did you think it was potentially bad at all? I thought it was so good for you.

Because I think that was you that thought it was bad. I thought flossing was down. Well, what we had done was that we went through all of our old notes in case we needed some topics. and one of the notes was is flossing bad and we were going to try to figure out what we meant by that. Oh, okay. Because it was old. Because I think it's very good. Yeah, I think it's good too.

But I think I was nervous about like, did the youth get anti-flossing messaging? No. And I wanted to address that. I would assume maybe it was you that had written that. It sounds like something you would write. Well, it's just like I feel like every, especially this could be relevant with having been pregnant and having a new baby. I feel like a lot of the messaging changes where it's like, Egg whites are good.

Yes. Egg yolks are bad. Yeah. Yokes are only good. The egg white is bad now. Don't eat eggs. They're bad for you. The flossing thing, I started to get messaging like, you're disrupting your teeth natural cycle.

I'm like, they don't have cycles? My teeth don't have cycles. Yeah. Those are bones. Yeah. And it's like, I think someone had a dream. Yeah. You have a dream and it's like, I'm going to start telling everyone this.

And it's based on nothing but except wrong intuition. Or it's like, no, people should floss. Yeah. Yeah. Like I have popcorn kernels in my teeth, you know. Yeah. From three days ago. Yeah. That's right.

That's right. Yeah. So. Okay. I just wanted to talk about that. Yeah. In summary. Human magic.

Human magic. December 20th. Fabulous. Floss. And women can be search. Women are surgeons. Women. And doctors too.

Can be anything. And anything. Including the president. That's right. Yeah. And also I just want to like, say that human magic my special that comes out on December 20th is available on Hulu and Disney Plus Worldwide.

Just saying. Okay, just saying. Yes. Anything else we're missing? Just thank you guys. Like, what fucking cutie pies? I'm, I'm so thrilled.

I'm so thrilled. Oh my gosh, my babies. My little babies. Mama. Jobsessed. Our mama, but not of the mama bear.

Yeah, our mama bear that's breaking the system. Yeah. Love it. Let's do it. Thank you. We just love you. I'm thrilled. I love you as well.

I really do in the context that's appropriate. I love you guys as well. Yes. You're adorable. Also, like, I just did want to discuss Tom Holland. Is this a thing you discuss? That's the nicest thing people say to me, yes. Okay, cool.

Thank you for really setting up the trajectory of not only the rest of my day but week by reminding me that. I think you can say career. I was like, okay. My career, I have been around the, the, Holland. family one time and they did the security try to go with your family duckling and I was obsessed I don't know I'm working this event I don't know them lying no when I worked at bird the scooter company we did a partnership with one of the Disney movies so funny and it was Tom Holland was one it was Tom Holland and Will Smith and they were there at the premiere spies and disguise

wow disguise double entendre that he's in it being duskies and disguise like mask And these guys. These guys. I don't know. They did try to have me adopted by the Hollins, but it didn't work. That was the only other thing I needed to cover today. You know what I hate is there is about 1,000 things that I just, I know that as soon as we stop recording, I'm going to be like, why didn't I ask that? I would love to stay connected.

Yes, please, please, please. I'm charmed. I'm enchanted. Yeah, to say the lead. And thank you for answering all my questions about pregnancy and the AMEO and the water and everything. And like my pleasure, my honor, my duty. I'm here. I would love to do it again.
