feels like every product claims real protein these days.
But real doesn't start on a label.
It starts at the source.
Like Real California Milk from California Farm Families,
it's Real Dairy delivering high-quality, complete protein,
with all nine essential amino acids to help build muscle,
give you energy, and keep you satisfied longer.
So keep it real.
Look for the seal.
Real California Milk.
I feel like at the top of each episode, I'm just going to be like, hey, sorry for my setup this week.
Like, I'm aware of it.
That's it.
We can just include that.
We'll just include that.
Hi, everyone.
I think it's important.
I'm aware of where I am.
Hi, everyone.
I'm aware of where I am.
I'm aware of the quality of where I am.
I'm aware of where I was last week at my home when we have the new setup.
I'm aware of where I'm going to be next week, which is going to be in studio with Brooklyn.
It's going to be great.
that's going to be so much fun.
Like, it feels like, it will probably feel like forever and like no time has passed.
We might need to have a parade.
I'm serious, like a homecoming parade where everyone comes out and has mums.
Wait, I think we should do a high episode.
Or do you think that feels like too much for like right off the bat?
No, I'm so down.
Okay.
That would be so fun for us to like get to the studio, let our hair down to our asses.
And then like just kind of see where the.
wind blows us. Okay, so we won't be high for that one. And then the next one we can get high.
Oh, like, I'm giddy. Yeah, that will be fun. That's going to be hilarious. Oh, wait.
What? I don't think I can get high for that one. Oh, no. You have something like... I have an orthodontist
appointment. Like, I actually almost have to leave it slightly early. Oh, dang. Okay, whatever.
We'll just pretend. To get high? Yeah, off our own supply. We could also get high set, like,
in virtual mode.
we could i just feel like we might lose track of where where we are we are in the world
i mean i might hey guys welcome back to brook and connor yeah i'm your host
brook and connor she's both brook and connor today i am a computer husband once again it feels
nice to be back in my my virtual bod who he's really built like if you're not if you're not watching
and I learned recently because I read the YouTube comments,
which I, you know, when am I going to learn?
There is one specific YouTube user with no profile picture
that I'm just like, I strive for one day to make you happy.
Like I've seen you come on on everything.
Like you're mad at every episode and it's something.
And one day, one day user, you will feel joy.
And I'm going to try to make it my personal mission
to make sure that you feel happy.
Right now, I don't see.
it in the near future, but it will happen.
There are some people that always comment, they're like, wow, y'all, like, will never be happy,
huh?
And those people I want to kiss on the lips.
Yeah, that was the top comment this week on the last episode, which, like, I was so excited
to open the comments because I feel like we've really, like figured this out remote-wise.
We're almost there.
I mean, I feel like our ju-ju is back in motion, kind of a little.
Not that it was gone, but we were figuring out the,
audio and stuff for a while.
Hearing it out.
And then that person was like, you guys are just miserable.
Like, I was like clapping in my apartment.
Thank you for stepping up.
Why are you home?
So I had a show in Dallas.
Yes.
And then I have, I'm in San Antonio this coming weekend for March Madness with Wendy's.
Nice.
Ooh, I'm hungry.
Yes. I'm hungry too.
and so when I was leaving Dallas last week after the show,
amazing show, it was at TCU,
which I visited one time when I had friends in college.
And that was the trip where UT was playing TCU.
Those are both football teams.
You are frozen, which you probably know by now,
as your voice has gone out.
We're figuring it out.
The last, no, the last time that I was at TCU is for a football game
between TCU and UT.
And this was the time, I don't know if you remember the video,
where I tried to put myself up on the fence,
and then I overshot the fence.
But I still had my hands on the fence.
So my body did a full-blown, like pommel horse,
what's his face, twist over,
except I landed on my neck.
I don't recall.
We'll have to put the video in.
And then, Dad, I'm just going to have to be sitting out here in the living room.
Okay.
Okay.
And we got Mimi off of all of her devices?
Yes.
We have Mimi off of most of her devices.
What devices does she have?
What devices is she connected to still?
The only thing that's left on is her burner phone, my dad says.
Nice, nice, nice.
Whatever she's doing up there, whatever activity she's up to.
Okay.
Yeah, so that was the last time I went.
So I go to, and Dad, thank you for slamming that door.
and went to TCU
such a fun college
it's so collegey
you know it's one of those towns
where it's just like all that's there is that college
and it was a great show
and then I get ready to leave in the morning
and Nick Becker
our friend Nico Sway
text me and goes
I'll miss you dude I'm playing in Austin today
and I'm on my way to the airport
I go what time are you playing in Austin
he goes 340 I go
oh my gosh it's noon i can make it so i switched my flight to austin i uber i didn't realize he's
playing this like fraternity sorority rush week thing you mean you could fly where were you going to fly
i was i was going to houston to see max and my parents right um but austin is the same distance
so i just switched my flight same airline same timing to just go to austin then i ubered to
where's tc u dallas
My God.
Where is doubt?
Okay.
It's fine.
There's only three cities in Texas.
And you have to fly to all of them?
You could drive.
It just takes three hours or else it's like a 40-minute flight.
Not to be not to be Kylie Jenner.
So it would be like flying from Philly to New York?
Yeah.
I guess that's a two-hour drive.
But there isn't a train.
I would definitely opt for a train if we had one.
Uh-huh.
Come on, Elon.
Bill is a train.
Uh, he won't.
But it was really fun.
And so then I went to Austin for one day.
Saw,
saw Nico and then some friends that are getting married.
And then I came to Houston.
And now I've been in Houston.
And now I go to San Antonio in the morning.
My God, Connor.
It's just incredible.
We're San Antonio.
San Antonio?
I don't know, man.
It's where the Alamo is,
which you certainly haven't forgotten, right?
No, I wouldn't have forgotten that.
There's a couple things I'll never forget.
The Alamo.
Yes.
9-11.
and my lunch number from elementary school.
What was it?
I can't, I don't want to say it because it's my password for everything.
Oh, hi, Max.
Is you here?
He's behind you.
Max, come here.
He's right behind you.
Okay, you can see him.
Aw.
He went listening.
It's like, how was your reunion?
It was really good.
He definitely remembers me.
It's one of those things where it was like a little bit of back.
Well, it was delayed and I was like, oh, God.
And then like two seconds later.
he likes they're so smell dependent you know what's the longest you've been apart this what was it how was
it how long how long four months three four months yeah wow someone accidentally messaged me like
meaning to send to their friends and they were like truly deadbeat this is so sad and then
you can't unsend messages anymore on instagram which like it's funny because when you send you know that
first message you're usually able to be like oh unsend unsend yeah but
Now, like, if it's your initial message to somebody, you can't unsend it.
And she's just like, I'm sorry.
Like, that was not meant for you.
That's a tough one to see.
Yeah.
Did you respond?
No.
Oh, no, no, no.
I didn't respond.
Damn.
What are you going to do?
My cat, Rob.
Yes, wait.
We need an update on your small family.
Like, a single mom who works to jobs and loves her kids and never stops has never
rung more true.
Oh my God.
Like a flip has switched in the worst way.
It used to be John.
A flip has switched?
A flip has switched.
Yeah.
A flip is.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
A switch is flipped in the worst way.
I mean,
it seems like things are getting better.
No,
they were for,
like there was a day of them getting better
before the tides really shifted.
So what happened was John was the original scream,
like screaming bloody murder sound I've never heard.
And Rob was like timid under the bed.
And then there was,
one day when like John stopped screaming and Rob was like coming out of his shell where everything
like seemed fine and they were just like kind of they both slept in my bed just like different ends
and everything was seeming fine. Then tides shifted. Rob has now become the aggressor.
John is scared for his life. Rob will not leave my side. He's so obsessed with me in a way that I've
never seen anything be obsessed with anyone. If he's not touching me, it's like the end of the world,
whole scream.
Which like I like, but it's just so sad because if John comes near me, it's, he's so territorial.
It's good.
Rob claims my bed and John can't come in my bed because Rob will attack him.
And I can't, I tried locking Rob out and he just screamed and screamed and screamed.
There's no winning.
I don't know what to do.
Rob's attacking John.
John is, poor John is scared.
I'm miserable.
No one's reached out to offer any solace.
No, I mean, I'm hopeful that it will.
like Rob will just calm down.
Like this is normal enough, I think.
But like I'm so sad.
Like my poor, poor John.
Like John will try to come cuddle with me in the bed.
And it's just like Rob is like, no.
I think it's just going to get to a point where they're just used to it.
They have to.
Because the tide went.
Well, what's worse is now John is used to it.
He's completely resigned.
It's devastating.
He just sits in his catchery like limp, like a new.
And he's like, I can't come down or Rob will attack me.
I think it's like relaxing.
Maybe he's not like it's so sad.
It's so sad.
And I got Rob for John.
Obviously, and it's like sad because I do I love, I love Rob.
Like I love the guy.
I really do.
But it's like, please Rob.
Like I'm begging you.
Like this is your brother.
Yeah.
It's like imagine what it would be so amazing if we could all just be a family.
It's going to, it's got to be on their terms.
I hate to break.
I'm giving everything that everyone says.
Like, I'm feeding them on opposite sides of a door.
I'm giving them both treats.
I'm giving them the same amount of love.
Like, I literally get up every hour and go into the other room to give John a kiss and whisper in his ear.
Like, you're my first born.
Like, you're my baby.
Like, this is your brother's acting up right now.
Like, it has nothing to do with you.
Like, everything's going to be okay.
You're doing great.
I feel like you might give him a complex, though.
Then he's like, I was here first vibes.
I don't think he speaks English.
I think he just hopefully like gets the vibe.
You know?
I don't know anymore.
I don't know anymore.
But like I did not see this coming with Rob being the complete powerhouse of the cell.
The tide shift.
It's like politics.
But he also, we are, we went to the bed on Monday, me and Rob, because there's weird stuff in his ears.
Yes.
That's good.
Yes.
Got to the bet.
They said, we canceled your appointment, which was sweet if I ever let me know.
So we're going back today and I think it's ear mites, which has been good because he sleeps with his ear and face on mine.
I have a question.
Yeah.
So like obviously I hate the word mites.
Yeah.
When you put the word ear in front of it, ear mites, like no.
I want to know, like maybe if we named, I want to know, do I hate the word mites because it's like a little bug in your ears?
It is.
Yeah.
Your mites or like.
Multiple.
If it was like ear flowers, would I be like, oh, like it's earflowers?
No, it would have the association of what might has.
Fuck might.
Like if it had, well, this might is also means like I might do this.
So there is another meaning to the word might and it because it's your might and you know what it means.
Yeah, that is so true.
I love talking language.
Yeah.
No, you're a linguist at heart.
I am a linguist and it's nuanced.
It is nuanced.
Yeah.
I can't stop saying avant-garde.
Do not know what it means.
Not looking into it.
That is so avant-garde.
Let me see.
There is some word like I use but and like receive a lot.
But like could I give you a definition?
I don't think so.
Like ahead of its time.
You can, wait.
Are you saying the phrase ahead of its time?
No, I'm saying like it's that what avant-garde means.
It's like very like like it's avant-garde.
I don't know if it's like.
Like people or works that are experimental, innovative, and often ahead of their time.
Whoa.
Author much?
Wow.
Wow.
It's really freaking me out every time I looked right next to you and I see that pot with the wig on it.
It does look like me.
That pot with the wig on you does look like me.
Yeah.
Yeah, I can see that.
In many ways.
Wait, Connor.
Yeah.
I guess that's it about the cat.
It's been horrible.
horrible. But like I truly think that I truly with my chest believe that it's going to get like it's going to get worse before it's people really like besides the people that are like you're killing them in ICMs. Like most people are like really supportive and saying that like this just it takes time. But I'm wondering if like I need to start like over with the introductions and like keep them separate again, which is hard. I don't I literally can't like if I lock Rob up it's like he's. He's
sob it's uh it's brutal but i don't see how like locking them up for longer apart because then you
just like start this slow intros over and they're supposed to like warm up to each other better
but like i like what you're doing i don't it's not it's not working goner well i think that it's
it has been worse in the past like with people like i'm sure that there's been a worse thing that's
happened i think you're doing exactly what you need to be doing for your home luckily you have
space imagine doing this in like i'm so lucky to have space like i you're so lucky to have space like i
Yeah. If they were like confined.
Because John can have his full.
John really takes the front of the house and Rob takes the back.
Like Rob's been in my office in my room and John's been in the like living room with his tree.
But my God, those boys are going to drive me to drink.
I know.
I know it, Chica.
Oh.
I mean, like I said, I think it's going to get a lot better very quickly.
But I don't think that you should go back to like keeping them apart.
I'll ask the vet today, what she thinks.
She's nice.
She's really nice.
I called the bed this morning too.

Did you know there's a new Hunger Games book?
I'm sorry.
My, like, you, this is so not like me, but my computer's glitching.
Are you?
It's crazy that I get like a very specific type of news from just your Instagram story.
And it's not even like you telling me and I never talked to you about it.
But I'm like, oh, new Hunger Games book.
Interesting.
But like, that's never been published.
It never comes across my desk.
It's literally just your stories.
And I'm like, oh, cool.
There's a new Hunger Games book out.
Wait.
And where did we leave off in the Hunger Games?
Okay.
So we had the original trilogy, which you claim to have read.
before everyone else.
I think I was one of the first.
You discovered the Hunger Games.
I think I really truly like I think
Suzanne Collins actually slipped me
one of the manuscripts before.
You got an arc.
It was published.
Yeah, you got arcs of all three.
And then there was the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,
which was the last one that came out,
which is the origin of President Snow in his story,
which I still have like serious qualms with that one.
The movie or the book?
Both because it's like in that,
story like you see him like he starts off as like a relatively like good enough guy and then he's slow like
there's like a shift that kind of comes out of nowhere and then he's like kind of evil but he's nowhere
he never becomes anywhere near as evil as he is in the hunger games books and so i thought in this
book which is hamich's story you know hamich i love so this is hamich's games
Okay.
So he's in the game.
This is when he's in the game.
So like Katness and PETA aren't born yet.
But like he's friends with their parents.
Yeah.
It's like a lot of like connections.
But I was like, okay, maybe here we'll see like President Snow is like not as evil as he was in the original trilogy.
But like maybe he's finally getting there and we see how he that evolution.
No.
Now he's completely like sinister most evil person in the world.
And I just still don't understand how he got there.
And that's pissing me off.
Thanks.
Right.
Well, what's cool is that Susan Collins is printing money
because she can just be like,
well, I actually,
we're actually going to go back.
We're doing Hamich now.
And we're going to meet a new character in here.
And then people are going to be like,
I'm obsessed with him.
Well, we're going to give you his backstory in the next book.
It's actually insane.
It's, but like she has the talent to back it up.
Right.
Of course.
I mean, we're looking at,
we're looking at a Harry Potter type situation
where it's just like, and wait.
No, J.K. Rowling.
could do so much more and she hasn't.
But the people have, thank God.
Like, there are fan fictions about, like, Harry Potter, like, his dad and, like, that group.
I wonder, like, this is crazy to say, but I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that, like, Jennifer Lawson.
Nope.
Wait, what's her name?
Jennifer Lawrence.
I was like, Jay Law, Jay Law, Jay La, Jennifer Lawrence, like, and, uh, what's his name?
Dr.
Square face.
Josh Richardson, he, like, I wonder if they're just too expensive to book now.
And it's like, okay, well, we can get Woody Harrelson for sure in the movie.
So Woody Harrelson wouldn't be playing his 16 year old self.
Oh, my God.
So we're actually not doing.
No, that's actually great because like it's actually opened up a lot of windows financially
for her to cast people for the movies.
And guess what?
Guess who could play 16 year old Woody Harrelson?
You?
My stupid ass, maybe.
potentially.
I think they're going to do another,
I hope they'll do like another
like Tom Blyce like someone who hasn't.
Yeah.
But anyway,
I have qualms with the President Snow story,
which is snoring story,
which was the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.
This one is like,
so good.
I feel like we're back like to the level
of the original trilogy.
Like maybe you should read it, Connor.
Maybe, maybe I should,
but guess what?
I'm not going to read the last book.
I don't think you need,
you don't need to read the,
Oh, maybe I will.
How far along are you?
What trimester?
I'm 70%.
Oh, well, that's not fun.
I should have joined you right at the beginning of this one.
You know we're doing it for my book, Brookshelf.
That's the book this month.
That's the Brooke, huh?
That's the Brooke of the month.
You know, I spelled book, B-O-O-K-E the other day.
I couldn't figure out why.
Hello, open up the schools.
But it's so good and it's so devastating because,
you know like you become so attached to all these characters and you know heymitch is the only one
coming out of there well unless there's something that hasn't been told you know like i know that
technically that's it but like suzanne really has as as as as as clay in her hand she's molding
our brains but like you know that like hamich this hamich like he's like i don't i don't drink like
i don't need that stuff so like what happens to him to make him like like an alcoholic it's like
Oh, it's horrible.
Maybe he had to introduce two cats from the shelter.
It's even, believe it or not, it's actually worse.
That's crazy.
Yeah, but it's so good.
Okay, well, maybe I'll look into it after I finish his Long Island Copeland Compromise treating you.
It's like really.
It's really what?
It's really something, man.
This is your problem.
Like, find, you picked that because you liked the cover.
Like, read something that like actually like you would.
like like you're forcing yourself to read this like random bookshelf picks I know I am going to
read this I guess it's like a self-help book but someone recommended it that I'm so sorry to those of
you who love self-help but like that's homework like why are why are you doing this to yourself I'm someone
who like if I walk into a movie like I want to have a personality change on my way out like I agree
I walk out and same with a book
You know like I don't think I'm gonna get a personality
I don't know if I'm gonna read a Hunger Games book
And be like I'm gonna change my life now
No but like sometimes
Mimi has entered the chat
Hey Mimi
You wanna come say hi to the podcast?
Yes
She's on the screen
She's not physically
Here you have to talk into the much
Oh my gosh wait
Hi Mimi
Rick
How are you?
Good. I'm here in Texas. Are you living there now? Well, I've been here for about eight months,
but I'm going back to Sun Valley in May. Really? I bet it'll be good weather by then.
That's why I chose May. Yes, that makes sense. Yeah. How are you doing? I'm good. I'm good.
I'm good. Where are you? I'm in L.A. in our studio. Okay. Yeah. Well, thanks for letting us have
Connor for us. Oh, of course. I'm happy to share him. How's Max been? He's been great.
In fact, I'm taking him over to the dog park right now.
Oh, that'll be fun.
Or his morning run.
Oh, wow.
That's amazing.
Yeah, he loves it.
Oh, I bet.
Thank you.
Carry on.
Bye, Mimi.
Bye, Mimi.
Yeah, Max does love his runs.
He's absolutely lazy bounds right now.
I bet him and Rob would get along.
I bet they would too.
He actually is coming around to cats.
Twitters is nice because my dad does this thing where I'm like,
he doesn't like cats.
My dad's like, oh, I mean,
maybe isn't met the right cat.
I'm like, I'm getting, I mean, you're gonna, whoever's cat, you're, and, and what am I
trying to say?
I don't know.
Insisting on him meeting like, you will have blood on your hands, cat blood.
Not with drops clause.
Poor John, like, I can't.
Okay, sorry.
I love seeing like people's parents, like style and like seeing how that influences like their
kids style.
Yeah, that's always fun.
I totally agree.
Like this is like you.
I want to see what you're seeing now.
It's just like a lot of like crisp white.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm moving away from the crisp white because I actually, I like the cozy vibes.
And my whole apartment right now, the walls are white.
Yes, but the ground is like dark wood.
Wait, look at this.
I painted this when I was in high school.
You're so talented.
Are you able to see that?
Yeah, that's crazy.
Thanks.
It's really nothing.
I threw it together last minute.
Wait, can I say one more thing about books?
Yeah.
I don't know if I've told the podcast this, but I have been on the hunt for like a bookstore cafe where you can like drink coffee and work and it's attached to a bookstore.
I found one the other day in Culver City and I was telling Izzy.
I was like, Izzy there's a bookstore attached to a cafe in Culver City.
like, did you know this? And I had been telling everyone else, too, that like there's this
amazing place called Books and Coffee in Culver City that like it's, it's books and coffee.
Like, oh my God, you won't believe it. And Izzy was like, oh, yeah, is it, what's the name?
Villagewell. Is it Village Well? And I was about to respond like, no, it's books and coffee.
And then I just happened to like when I was texting you, Izzy have the receipt. I had a book that
I bought like with the receipt in it. And I was like, let me just like take a look at that receipt,
Village Well.
Yeah, 100%.
So I had missed the title of the store under and it said books and coffee.
But I have told everyone and their mother about this new bookstore, Books and Coffee.
That's honestly good because no one's going to come try to find you at Books and Coffee because it doesn't exist.
Yeah.
But I have been like screaming books and coffee from the rooftops.
And it's super close to the, do you know about the romance only bookstore?
No.
Yeah, the ripped bodice, Connor.
The ripped bodice?
The ripped bodice.
this whole time I thought it was just in New York
and I was like I need to go to the ripped bodice in New York one day
saw on TikTok no the first location of the ripped bodice
is also in Culver City oh wow
Culver City really over city is like popping off right now
popping off in a big way so I went to the ripped bodice after I went to books and coffee
and I did not know there's a book convention this weekend called shelves in the city
okay it was like literal black mirror when I walked in there
all these influencers like ring lights like swarming the aisles it was like whoa it was like book talk like in person it was crazy to see
show in person that's like two things that I would never feel like I would hear together in the same sentence it was wild to see like that
that community like in their element it was beautiful to see that the ripped bodice with their
ultimately it is beautiful yeah see people at the ripped bodice just don't get me wrong
And don't get to twist it either.
I'm starting a Booktube.
You're going on to YouTube?
Yes.
Oh, good.
Now that I have like a soft deadline coming up, it feels like a really good time to start a YouTube career.
Yeah.
No, I agree.
So that's good.
Tune into that and everything like that and all that.
All that jazz.
Thanks.
That's exciting.
I had a dream that I just remembered that I need to say and I know that like no one gives a fuck or a shit about
dreams when people talk about them.
This is a little timely and this is a little bit relevant.
I had a dream in that.
We had Bowen Yang and his co-host from his podcast come on our podcast, but it like wasn't
it wasn't Matt Rogers, his co-host.
It was like another one and me and you, they went and sat down and they never told us who
the other name was.
So we were like, oh, that's hard.
Hey guys, we're here with, we're here with Bowen Yang and Brooke, you can say the other one.
And you're like, and you and we're here, here we are.
And everyone behind the cameras was like, oh, I'm like, say it, say the name.
And we were like, yes.
Oh my gosh, Bowen.
And your friend is here.
And how close?
When did you guys meet?
Like, it was the, it was like a 10 minute thing of like you and I trying to like get this person's name.
I can even picture the face of this person.
and it's like I made up this face.
It's not a real face, but we would just...
That's impossible.
I know it's impossible, but I genuinely like, I did recognize this person, but it was like,
it must have been someone who was maybe like in an Uber pool with me at some point.
Yeah.
And like it saved.
The archives.
It saved in my bookmarks, but it was me and you sitting there, drenched in sweat in the studio,
panicking, being like, Boen Yang and...
That's hard.
And introduces to your friend, Bowen.
Like watching that happen to someone in person.
I mean, it was just...
Like I woke up just feeling so sick about the podcast and like our our guests coming on and being like we don't know their names.
Yeah.
What are their names?
I someone told me recently that they were talking to Bowen Yang.
And I do think it's possible this was a lie.
Okay.
So keep that in mind.
But that they were talking to Bowen Yang and like brought us up for some reason.
He was like, oh yeah, I know who they are.
that's the end of the story.
So Bowen Yang might be aware of us, which is cool.
I freaking love the guy.
That is cool.
And now he also, I want to say again, that could not, that could be a lie.
I don't think it's absurd.
I also don't think that that's a compliment for him to be like, I know who they are.
Oh, to me that is.
He didn't say they're so funny.
But at least like it's better than my dream where I said, I don't know who your co-host is.
But it's Matt Rogers.
I do know that.
Of course.
Las Coulteris does.
Now he knows that we also know who he is.
Well,
we've spoken in depth about Bowen Yang
in terms of like how I always think
that's the name of the planes.
Oh, yeah.
Well, now he can sleep easy knowing
that we know who he is.
Yeah, I'm sure he'll be able to like
conch out.
Yeah.
He'll be rocking out with his cock out
on the new Apartments.com website commercial.
I haven't seen it.
Oh, I've seen it 400 times.
I've been watching new TV and stuff.
I'm going to put a TV in my room,
which is something that I've avoided for up until now
because I think that it will keep me pretty bad-written to do so.
But I am going to pull the plug.
If I pull the plug, I mean put the plug into the wall.
Into my wall.
Yeah.
Well, I was thinking about doing the same,
but it's just for going to bed.
Like I don't want to get so tired out in the living room on the ground
with my head.
Yes, Connor.
That's what I mean, that is what I'm telling myself.
But like, I know what's coming.
I have no problem getting my ass up in the morning.
I don't think I would roll over and turn on the TV.
No, I don't think that either.
I think it's a matter of when I get back into bed for that 1 PM siesta.
I think that could lead into staying till 8A.
8A, huh?
Yeah.
Well, I don't think, I mean, it's good to fill your mind with not.
And a lot of knowledge comes from the TV these days.
I'm also going to put a TV in my room, but it's going to be the size of like a microwave.
And it's going to be just for, get this, there is some like radiation emission or something that comes out like a high pitch TV sound that only comes from the TV.
It doesn't come from a phone that like I don't even care.
The TV could be muted, but I can hear this sound.
Okay.
And it's like a calming sound.
That's what I want the TV in my room for.
Get a noise machine.
But it's not going to emit that thing.
I think it's genuinely radioactive, like a high frequency pitch that only I can hear,
me and mosquitoes.
I told you about the mosquito machine in Florida, right?
I want to suck your blood?
No, there's my whole life.
Whenever I go to Florida, there's this like horrible.
The high pitch thing that keeps mosquitoes and bugs away.
Yes, the mosquitoes and bugs away.
And a few summers ago, I walked out
And I was like, did you guys get a new machine?
I can't hear it.
Your old ass.
My old ass aged out of that frequency.
That was probably the biggest existential crisis.
That's like finding a gray hair in your ear.

It's time for a trip to Ross.
Work your magic.
Do you remember that dang on ringtones?
Remember it was like a flip phone?
This is going to age me.
We used to sit in class in high school
and play the frequency as high as it would go.
and like we'd all set our ringtones for text to that frequency and the teacher couldn't hear it.
But that's how we would all know that we were texting and like getting texts.
Oh, damn. I didn't know about that.
It was like, I still just, I want to apologize to the substitute teacher who got fired because we convinced him that we were allowed to watch Ted too.
My bad.
My bad.
That was our fault.
That's horrible.
And you did not deserve that.
That's really horrible.
Yeah.
And he was really nice too, like so nice that he.
Oh, that's breaking my heart.
I know, but like some, some effing narc told on us.
That's really, really bad.
You didn't tell on us.
You told on him.
Oh, yeah.
That was like some class where, like, honestly, Ted 2 was more educational than whenever we were learning in that class.
The teacher, the main teacher for that class, listen to this, worked their entire career, never took a day off, and then took the entire year off our senior year.
We had a substitute teacher in for the year.
Is that like was that a sabbatical?
Like took like never took a year because he was a coach too.
So he was not only a coach but a teacher and never took a day off because his season was was different than like the teaching.
It was like over the summer he basically coached.
So or wait opposite whatever.
He never took a day off for like years and years and years.
And so he had like 85 days off consecutively and he used all of his and it rolled over, you know, year after year.
And he used them all my senior year.
And he used to provide us before each test the answer key.
And he's like, just fill it in.
Okay.
Yeah.
I mean, and that shows.
I was top of my class, by the way.
I was, I graduated 11 out of my class.
I will never forget in fifth grade.
We had a test on Mesopotamia, which like, by the way, what is that?
Brooke, I was hoping.
I was hoping you asked,
you may be entitled to compensation if you or one of your family members developed Mesopotamia after working in a factory near drywall.
So we had a test on Mesopotamia.
And in the directions before you started the test, it just said like raise your hand before you answer any of the questions.
So I raised my hand and my teacher just came around and wrote an 100 on the test.
and 100
and as she wrote in 100
on my test
and I was like
weird
so then once everything
was setting down
and everyone handed their test then
she was like by the way
like I just wanted to see
how many of you
actually read the instructions
only half of us did
and so it was an automatic A
just for reading the instructions
because she was just so pissed
at all of us
for like never reading
the instructions
brace your hand
those were the instructions
oh
so she was like
I just am
rewarding the people that read the instructions basically. Honestly, like, great, because that's
teaching a skill. She was teaching a skill. Guess what? I had actually gotten a 200 on that test because
I blew out of the water with my knowledge about Mesopotamia, which to this day shows.
It shows. I don't know why the word Mesopotamia is reminding me of like fingernails,
but I obviously wouldn't have gotten a 200, but I would have raised my hand. So you would have gotten
an 100 plus? And 100. Yeah. I probably would have.
gotten a hundred.
Yeah.
But I, um, I think that that's an important skill to have.
I was pissed honestly.
Oh.
Because I got in a hundred anyway.
I was like, I worked, I worked my ass off for this.
Oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh.
My whole, my whole ass is completely, no.
I'm sitting on the ground.
But yeah, I'm okay.
Like at the end of the day perspective is so key.
My ass might be asleep.
But guess what?
At least I know it's going to wake up.
So true.
Speaking of perspective.
Yeah.
Have you seen the TikTok trend that's like she doesn't know it yet?
Yes.
In two minutes, her husband's about to fall off the back of that jet ski and be decapitated changing her life forever.
I post that video.
What?
Nothing.
Go ahead.
Connor, I can't with that trend.
It's driving me insane.
Yeah.
No, it's very, very annoying.
It's very, very annoying.
Yeah, she doesn't know it yet, but in 10 minutes, she's going to blank.
Guess what?
It's staring the shit out of me.
She doesn't know it yet.
But in 60 seconds after this photograph, she's about to feel a slight tingling in her arm.
Stop.
Drop to the ground.
Call 911 in the nick of fucking time.
Heart attack.
Like, I don't need a reminder that anything can happen in one second.
Ellie Golding already told us.
And I agree.
like it is so horrible that trend it's eating me a lot yeah it's it's really it's really crazy but
trends that that one's on its way out i hope no one's no one's even really done it like a funny one yet
no i was like i wanted to do a spoof on it like i don't know over the weekend like he doesn't know
but i don't know i can't think on the spot but like something funny i might be able to post one
because I actually, it was five years ago yesterday that I got fired from my last job.
So he doesn't know, yeah, but he's about to get fired.
No, you need to do something that's like you make up something.
Oh, he doesn't, okay.
Okay.
Anything that actually happened, like, it's not funny.
Like, you need to do something creative.
Well, it was kind of funny because Logan, cousin Logan, came in my door right before
and she was trying to give me a mimosa.
And it was like a work day.
And I was like, Logan, I am at work.
like some of us have a job here, you know, in the COVID house.
We may be all grouped together and we're, what's it called when we were in a house?
Quarantine.
Quarantining.
But like I still have a job.
Okay, 60 seconds later.
You have been selected to no longer have a job.
Congratulations.
And so he doesn't know yet, but he is about to drink that mimosa in about 60 seconds.
Yeah.
Oh, I miss it, man.
I really do.
I miss the rage.
I don't.
know what a time i have been you know my my parents neighborhood for a while now for like three
days and we've been golfing and we've been uh every time you send me a snapshot of like your surroundings
in texas i'm just like what i don't get texas what part is confusing to you it's like florida
it looks like florida but it's not it does kind of look they're deer everywhere
Because there's land everywhere
This is where people hunt
I don't know
It's like
Like it's like southern like that
But it's also reminded me of like
West Palm Beach
At least where you live
Richie
Okay now I know that you aren't talking
Your daddy
Your daddy owns the lake
My family just lived near it
I never heard you talk like that
I'm just talking like holes.
The duck may swim on the lake.
You know that was Sigourney Weaver?
Brooks Daddy owns the leg.
Yeah, of course I know that's Sigourney Weaver.
Sorry.
What is her name, Madam Toussad in that movie?
No.
What is it?
Little Miss Kiss.
Something else that's not that.
What is it?
Something else.
Mama snakeskin.
It's mama.
Not Mama Juju.
Mr. Mann.
No.
Man, Mr. Man.
Do you know?
Mr. Mann.
Um.
The warden.
The warden.
The warden Walker.
Warden Walker?
Wait, who was the one with the nails?
That was a little Miss Kissy.
The Flasher.
The Hashling.
No, Sigourney Lever was the warden.
But wasn't she something when she was younger or was that it's separate?
No, that woman got killed by the...
Who was that?
That was Kissy.
Kisses Kissy.
Kiss and Kate.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Kissing Kay Barlow.
Yeah. I got to watch that movie.
I have to say...
There's a throw-up scene in it, which is why I could never...
No, you're thinking of the peaches.
Nope. Someone threw up out of dehydration.
A little boy threw up.
I have to tell you guys something in it is not something that I'm proud of, but I didn't
know Mimi was going to walk up and I farted right before she stepped right over me and took
the mic.
And she didn't even say a word.
Like, I was like, that's pretty impressive.
Do you think she knew?
It's hard to say.
I don't think she would say anything.
She's very classy.
Yeah.
she is very classy.
She doesn't fart right before people walk up to go breathe into a mic.
Do your like parents talk about that kind of stuff?
Fart?
Yeah.
No.
Like it's funny.
Like I have a video of my parents like this year.
I guess my dad farted.
And my mom said that was the first time in our marriage in like 40 years that I've heard your father fart.
Whoa.
And he didn't even know she was in the room.
Wow.
I gotta post that video.
It's really funny.
I was like, I thought someone fell down the stairs because my mom was laughing so hard.
It's very funny.
Okay, well, anyways, I've been in this neighborhood.
And I'm going around everywhere and like every tree has like a plaque in front of it.
And it's like to our beloved like Richard.
And I'm like, if you, if I die and you put a plaque in front of a dusty old tree, I'm going to be haunting you.
What do you want?
Not a plaque in front of a tree.
In Memorial, Mum, in Memorial, what do you want?
Like, I can wrap my head.
I can wrap my head around a bench, honestly.
Like, I could see, come sit on me.
Like, I, but I don't want it to be a normal bench.
I want it to be, like, I want it to be in the shape of my body.
And I want to be laying, like, planking type thing, but, like, looking up.
So, like, on my back.
So a statue?
Yeah, but you can sit on me.
A statue.
A statue that you can sit on, yeah.
A statue with utility.
You could do, you, like, squatting.
so it could be like people are sitting on your lap.
I love that, but I want like 15 or 20 of them.
Okay, just a bunch of you squatting.
Maybe I just want to park with a bunch of statues of me.
The memorial park of Connor.
Because I love sitting.
Like, that would be actually,
a bench would be perfect for a memoriam of me.
So a bench and a statue?
He always needed a place to rest his fat ass in a memorial.
Yeah, I just like really,
What would you do in Memorial?
Maybe like a wing of a bookstore?
Oh my gosh, you want a wing?
Yeah.
My daddy owns the wing.
I could have said the whole place.
You could have, but a wing is very classy.
An aisle?
A wing is giving old money, Brooke.
Really?
Old money aphron walks into the wing of her bookstore.
Old money Ephron.
Old money Ephron.
Oh, it's foreshadowing, ain't it?
How was your April Fool's?
I just like it pisses me off.
I agree.
I'm all for pranks, but like a day of pranks for everyone doesn't sit right with me.
Because some people were born to prank.
I wake up in a pranking mood sometimes and I get their asses.
I wake up hungry to prank, you know?
Someone posted that like April Fool's is like for unfunny people to joke.
Yeah, it's for brands to be like, guess what?
we are collaborating with this brand and we are doing this insane thing.
It's like, oh, yeah, you got me.
You should be good.
Should be fired.
I don't know.
And it's also, it's something else that piss me out and this is very niche is people
in the comments of like these brands being like, I'm just, I don't want to give
that example because it's like a brand and they do this absurd thing and people in the
comments being like, like,
No, because why would I literally buy this?
You know, it's like,
I was getting so confused because like deadline kept posting all these projects I was really excited about.
Yeah.
And I was like, because I had fallen for every single thing I'd seen on my timeline prior to that.
Yeah.
So it's like, are you telling me the truth or no?
But they were.
So it's just like, just wait until April 2nd to post so I don't even have to consider.
I know.
Yeah.
I actually took that, I took the day off.
posting because I was like I don't want I'm not in a I'm not in a fun kind of mood I actually
haven't been in a funny kind of mood in a minute and I'm not forcing it because that's when I
start to really feel for people when I see my fun I agree force posting stories and stuff and I'm
like ooh that is not funny you should just wait it until April 2nd just take time off yeah as as a
metaphor like wait till April 2nd yeah did you see this is what I was like is this April
fools the cast of the Beatles
Yeah, I saw the cast of the Beatles, and I'm so glad you brought that up.
Did you know it's four separate movies?
No.
Yeah, it's four separate movies.
Okay, talk about printing money.
Wait, I screenshot it's something that I actually wanted to talk to you about.
So I know that the movie is going to be...
The movies.
Who is cast?
Yeah, the movies are going to be Paul Mescal.
Harris Dickinson.
Harris Dickinson.
I like him.
Barry Keoggan and who else?
Joseph Quinn.
Okay.
Like, obviously,
hair and makeup is going to have to just go ham city with these guys.
Someone,
someone posting was like,
wow,
seriously an Asian beetle?
Like,
we are so woke.
They're talking about Barry Kilken.
They think he's Asian.
Like the whitest,
the whitest type of white person and an Irish person.
We have gone so woke.
But someone was like,
it really should have been,
like Fred Armisad,
uh,
who's our guy that we love?
could be anyone late night with Seth Myers that my it should have been
Seth Myers Fred Armisen Bill Hader Bill Hader and Andy Sandberg and Andy Sandberg that should
have been the Beatles um but I'm like I'm put off as well I really like like Harris
they're all great but like it they're too relevant right now it's like almost feels like
trendy where it's like the Beatles like I don't know I needed a few unknowns in there I
and feeling like you.
Brooke, I, you know, I love my unknowns.
It makes me almost more drawn to the movies when it's like an unknown person because
I'm like, I don't have any expectations for you.
Blow me, blow my socks off.
Stranger.
But I agree.
I don't like that there's prerequisites where like, I'm like, oh, no, that's not, that's
gladiator.
Paul is in every single thing that I've ever heard of.
He signed a huge deal with somebody where it is.
was like you need to actually produce.
He signed the Glenn Powell deal of 12 movies in a year.
Because let us not forget he's also doing the Marily We Roll Long film.
Yeah.
That's being filmed over the course of 25 years.
Now to be confused with the recording of the show that Sony just purchased.
Oh, no, don't get it twisted.
No, please don't get that twisted.
I know.
I hope, I mean, I'm not even like a huge Beatles fan, whatever.
I'm also not someone who's like, wow, they really...
You don't like the Beatles?
I'm not going to go see it.
No, I didn't say I didn't like the Beatles.
I'm just not like...
There are massive Beatles fans.
I'm not claiming to be one of them.
Like, I like their music.
What, I know the two of their names.
Really?
Ringo.
Bingo.
Shingo and Dingo.
My God.
Joel Olstein, Ringo.
Ringo.
What's the other one?
I mean, I don't know
like what to tell you about Joel Olstein.
He's a great man.
There's, wait, now I'm getting confused
between John Legend and John Lennon.
There's Joel Lennon.
There's Joel Olstein, there's coffee cup.
John, Palma Cartney,
Ringo, Star, and George Harrison.
Yeah, that's what I said.
Yeah.
They should have had Justin Bieber just randomly, like a fifth, a fifth Beatles.
What is going on with Justin Bieber?
I was about to say, like, it sparked me.
It sparked the idea.
Like, what do you think about the phrase crashing out that everyone's using?
Like, it makes, now it makes sense to me.
Like, he's crashing out.
But I think that that, I don't think that he's crashing out.
No, crashing out is starting to piss me off because they'll just say it about,
People are saying it about literally like someone will post literally like a picture of their lunch.
Oh, he's crashing out.
Oh, he's literally crashing out right now.
Oh, he's, he's manic.
He's going through an episode.
Yes, he's manic.
Oh, no.
No, no, no.
He's not, he's not, he's not, he's not that cony 2020 guy that was out like jacking off in his front yard.
Like that is crashing out.
I'm not familiar with that guy.
Oh, you should look into it.
Like the guy that was running that whole campaign was just like outside naked jerking off in the bushes.
Oh, nice.
They found him.
Yeah.
Like that is crashing out.
Yes.
Justin Bieber being like,
I'm posting a picture of my wife, you know, here.
They're like, oh my God, he's literally like overcompensating.
He's not obsessed with her.
He's just, now him posting a picture of Haley Bieber with the song
Irreplaceable by Beyonce was questionable.
And I think that was a lapse in judgment on his part.
It's not crashing out, though.
No, questionable at best.
Again, we have seen a crash out before.
I don't think, I think crashing out should be maybe, you know what?
I don't give a shit.
Say whatever you want.
people of the internet hive mind if this is your crash at let it be your crash out and then we'll have to make up a new word for the next time someone jerks off in their front yard you know what else what other word people are just like completely losing the plot of huh parisocial okay and explain i'm gonna agree with you but explain what where you are i'm just gonna use us as an example but someone will be like i i really hope brook and connor are having a good day and then someone will
respond like that's extremely parissocial of you to have any like thoughts about their well-being like
like people are just thinking like if you're a fan of someone it's parisocial like if i was like i'm looking
forward to justin bieber's new album like someone would literally be like that's parissocial
like people just think like being a fan now and like caring about someone and admiring their art
is parissocial like we've lost that completely no i agree with you okay um
no because parisocial is very different parissocial is the girl that follows me into the bathroom after one of my shows to be like hey oh my gosh like i didn't like i just wanted to like i figured we'd just get some alone time yeah
yeah no parissocial is like feeling like you are owed by someone that you don't know and having their actions like affect you yeah like extremely yeah and such and and other things like that it's
not just like being a fan. And I think that people are using it as just like, oh, they're a fan of
someone. They're extremely parisocial. Yeah. Um, there's, there, we need a word to explain when people
just adopt something and then attach it to every inkling of something that's similar. Because I've said
that about a lot of stuff. Like, we're just throwing words around. And then you've, like, especially
like negative words where it's like this person's this and it's like well no there are really bad
people that and that is I can't even give the example anymore well it's also just like even like valid
criticism or just like I don't know like someone commenting like I I miss when brook and Connor
we're in the studio together like okay that you can say that you know valid we'll be like that's
extremely parissocial and it's like no they can you know it's valid well yeah you're we miss it too you know
Yeah. It's just like you can be a fan who who wants certain things from someone you're a fan of within reason.
Yeah.
I don't know. That's been like tickling me recently.
No, I agree.
Is it TV time?
Yeah. Let's talk about TV.
Can I say just like a few really quick things about other TV before we get into White Lotus?
Yeah, yeah.
I started watching this new sitcom, mid-century modern. Have you heard of it?
Yeah, with your boy.
Matt Bomer.
Nathan Lane.
Yeah.
And Nathan, Nathaniel, Nathaniel, Nathan?
Nathan, another, an additional Nathan piece.
Yeah.
Nathan Lee Graham, okay?
Yeah, yeah.
It is, have you ever seen the Golden Girls?
Yeah.
It's Golden Girls, but gay men.
That's awesome.
But it is, it's literally like they didn't try to make it
any different than that. I'm obsessed.
That's awesome. Like literally down to like the mother. Like it is truly. And Matt Bowmer's character
is Betty White's character Rose just like sweet as sugar, dumb as rocks. Like it's just like it's
it's not great but it's so sweet and I'm really enjoying it and that's actually why I want a TV in
my room. People need people need TV like that. People need TV like that. It's not groundbreaking. But
last one ended.
The last one ended, just give me a different, give me the exact same thing in a different font.
Yep.
There's nothing, there's nothing at all wrong with that.
And I'm on board.
I see there's a huge, like, um, poster for it, like 17 posters near my house in New York.
So it, like, I see it every single day.
Yeah.
I mean, it's like perfect to have on in the background.

Also, new season of love on the spectrum U.S. comes out today.
Oh, okay, we're going to get some updates
So I'm excited about that
Yeah, you need to keep us abreast on love on the spectrum
I will
And then
Black, New Black Mirror
Next week
You're gonna have to
I can't watch Black Mirror
Because of the way that it was affecting my mental
And like a weird way
Like it was giving me
Maybe I could take a beta blocker
And watch Black Mirror
You've seen my favorite episode though, right?
Hang the DJ
Remind me just remind me in
On that
they're like living in what seems to be a simulation where you get paired up with someone to date and you're told exactly how much time you have together.
And you have to like live in a house with them.
And yes.
Just until your relationship expires.
Yeah.
If you have not seen that, I genuinely, I don't pride myself on having good taste in like TV and movies and stuff like that.
This, but this genuinely truly is like one of the best pieces of television ever.
I really believe that.
I might, I might, can you watch the first episode of Black Mirror and just tell me like, is it like so dark?
I feel like.
Of the new season?
Yeah.
Is it out yet?
Yeah.
I will next week.
Um, it was really almost going American horror story vibes, horror stories vibes.
Yeah.
That's at one point.
I like the more like mind fucky episodes.
They're like getting really like close to what's happening.
No, that's how I'm thinking.
feeling about the hunger games.
Oh, it's freaky.
It's very freaky and upsetting, but that's the point.
In the same vein as I want to remind everybody, watch FEEP, another reminder to watch
Feepeep, little gentle push to watch Feeb.
Hey, maybe now that I'm getting a TV in my bedroom.
It is a great low-stakes TV show that is some of the best writing ever.
And Julie Louis Dreyfus can do no wrong ever to me.
And it's one of the funniest shows I've ever seen in my damn life.
So I'll say that again and I'll rewatch it at any point.
You should do a VEP rewatch podcast.
Oh, yeah.
Oh my gosh.
That's a good idea.
Okay.
Should we do White Lotus?
Yeah.
To close out.
Okay, you start again.
It's just like it really is something to be said about Mike White's talent of getting people
genuinely interested in a show where absolutely nothing happens.
nothing has pretty much nothing has happened all season nothing happened last episode especially
and yet i'm watching and i don't i can't watch most things so it's really a testament to his
tv making abilities his eye because there is not shit but fuck happening on my screen
i couldn't agree more i also think that like like ai could never do what mike white is doing
that being said like i need
to watch like 56 hours of this show.
Like I want it to be on nonstop.
Whatever,
whatever chemistry does to my brain
where like I'm so invested in these characters
and they haven't even done anything.
They have not done anything.
Like truly nothing.
They haven't done jack shit.
Jack shit.
Now,
something that I'm kind of,
I'm losing my mind a little bit
because there's like a new community
of people that have started to watch White Lotus
that all they do is do theories.
conspiracy theories all week.
I'm a little tired of them.
I wish that they had like
their own version of
White Lotus that like they could watch
and then we could watch
the intellectual version of White Lotus
where we just like sit back and
we may have some thoughts but it's not like
did you see her necklace in this episode
and this means this and this means this
I'm like I don't think that it's that
it's as conspiracy dearest vibes.
I mean at least they're like conspiracy theorying
something like White Lotus
instead of like
Joe Biden is an alien
you know
yeah that's that's true
um
like power to him
power to him wait I actually saw
that being said I'm going to pull up my favorite theory
is it that the
hotel owner's wife
is actually Walter Goggins's dad
and he transitioned
long long ago and that he was
much less much less
like passing back in the day
and then everyone being like
well Walton doesn't look Asian at all
and they were like well like what about this celebrity
this celebrity doesn't look that Asian
and they're like oh my gosh
we're not see that's that's when I start to lose
people I'm like okay chill there was a theory
that there was a theory that somehow
a lizard's going to get a gun and that's the shooter
a lizard
mm-mm
okay wait no there was one
I do think that the guy is probably his dad
I don't know
Because he was a lot of...
When he said his mom's name.
He was like, wait, what?
That's your mom?
Oh, this is the one I liked.
The hotel owner, she is going to go to the police to get them to arrest Rick.
But Valentin and Guy Talk are going to think it's about the robbery.
And so they're going to freak out.
And Tim Ratliff is going to think that they're there to arrest him.
and send him back home.
Greg is going to think that Belinda called the police on him
and everyone will be scrambling in the mayhem of it all
and results in a shootout.
Oh, I like that.
Yeah, I think that everyone's going to think
that the police are there for them.
It's going to be the FBI too, I think.
Let's get the BAU on the case.
Yeah, but then there's something weird about that Leslie Bibb.
Like, there's something that we're kind of like overlooking there.
Like she was on the phone at two in the morning, you know,
like when you saw Valencien leave.
Jacqueline's hotel.
And she also in that first episode was like, wait, I know the rat lifts, you know?
And so someone, and then apparently the mom of the rat, you know, the mom of the family was speaking.
And I didn't hear this was speaking Thai in the first episode.
Oh, yeah.
People think that she's there to frame her husband.
And said that Leslie and her, like they might be in cahoots or.
Yeah, that's a little bit insane too.
There's also like so many random little things that have happened, like Parker Posey speaking
tie.
Just like little things.
And I'm like there's no way that like all of those things are going to be tied up.
I know.
And like the blender, like they're showing the blender way too much.
This is what I think about the blender.
The poison fruit too.
Like it's not all of these things are going to be tied up.
I could see the ass blender like being put it in an ass blender.
Like put it in the ass blender.
I think that
Like that's gotta come through
I think that the body of
The person that floated up at the beginning is because of the ass blender
That I could see
I feel like someone got the ass blended
That would be crazy of Mike White to show the blender that many times
And have that the ass blender like not do any
Be involved at all
The ass blindle every time it turned on
I almost had to mute the episode
The sound of blendos and
any type of hand dryel
like piss me to fuck off so fast
like I was zero to one haunted
just like I the sound of those
and fireworks lawnmowers
when people rev their engines
yeah you have a noise sensitivity
yeah and smell sensitivity
I have a personality disorder
I don't think you
oh yeah well we can talk about that later
but
wait actually I was thinking
okay wait okay but we're
we're about done here
We're about done here.
I will be in the studio next week.
Woo!
We'll have, we actually, we're going to do some, we have a special guest.
Izzy is the guest episode we're recording next week, next week's episode?
It's up to you guys.
Oh, it's up to us.
I think we, I think we, well, let's talk offline.
Okay.
But we have a guest next week and we're doing two episodes.
The next two weeks will be in person, which is going to be so nice.
for user 99613 on YouTube.
And if not, I just don't know how to help you.
So we're doing our best.
Thank you for the patience.
All will be well so soon.
Thank you, Mimi, for joining us.
And thank you.
And thank you, everyone over there at Studio 58.
Wait, that's on our number, right?
