I don't think I see our shoes on the pod. Do you know I wear this every day? Do you know I have three pairs, though? Yeah, I have seen your shoe area. Oh, my area. Okay. Go. Ma, ma, ma.

Ma. Ma. Connor. Are you ready to MAP? I'm ready to pee. Ignorance is bliss. I'm living in a world of my own and it's awesome. Oh, I thought I was responsible for 9-11 when I was five. Where were you? In Pennsylvania. Touch grass, might I suggest. We're just going to dive right in today. Hey guys, welcome back to Brooke and Connor make a podcast. We are back making a podcast. We're here in the And we're so excited to be back here doing it.

We really are. If you want to hang out with us for an extra hour each week, you can subscribe to the Brooke and Connor tier or the TMG Studios tier at TMG Studios. Dot TV. We've done a high episode of close friends. And today, Brooke, me, brought her binky so that we can do another one so you don't want to miss that. To be completely transparent, this is not my true binkie.

This is a binkie that has been in my hand. back for a while that I've never charged because I have never found a charger that works. We're going to have like a wolf of Wall Street. Because I broke my original binky and shattered it. So I have to get a new binkie, but this is a temporary binky. I guess it doesn't matter at all. But that it's charging. Moral of the story. Keep everyone. Yeah, keep everyone in the loop.

And you'll suck her as well. Yeah. Yeah, I'll be sucking your binky here in about one hour. Yeah. So that will be fun. We got a bunch of new subs last week when we talked about it. I hope everyone's enjoying the new club. You can do it at TMG Studios.tv, like we said. And then also there's an opportunity to be added to the close friends on Instagram,

which we honestly need to pick up the slack over there. Well, I've been posting on the main story, but I need to post on our close friends. We got to get some exclusivities into the green circle there. Are you kind of tangled up in your... Well, I'm pulling out a lot of my hair and my glasses. This is why I don't like to wear glasses. Well, just... Yeah, yank it.

I don't want... I feel like I don't have enough hair to lose. Okay. Sorry. Price is averted. I'm kind of coming off of a weird situation because on the way here, the first song that came on in the car, which just pisses me off beyond belief, is that baby Rexa song. How does it go? I don't even want to sing it because I don't want to ruin anyone's time that's listening, but I'm doing and I'm feeling all right. Oh, I kind of love that song. Human experience, I guess, chalk it up.

Mm-hmm. But I just like that is the, I can't even explain the way. that it sends me into the most angry version of myself. Really? I want to punch my radio. Did you feel that way the first time you heard it? The first time? Wow. Yeah. I just feel like all of Baby Rex's songs were written by the government

or something. Like I don't I don't, I have a list of songs that I think were written by the government, and I don't know what purpose of government would need to put like you know, shake it off by Taylor Swift or work by Rihanna or radioactive by the Imagine Dragons or anything by

Edge Shearin, anything by Drake. from 2017 to 2019 you know those songs were all kind of feeling like a little bit because the first time you hear them you're like oh they're stuck in my head forever I don't know why the government

would need me to have like passionate from miles away passion for the things you do what that one Passion fruit by Drake like I've never sought out that song and yet I know every word explain that I haven't listened to the radio

since high school I'm curious about radio numbers in general because I know that there must be large portions of the United States that are on the radio Maybe we should put our podcast on the radio Can that happen?

Could you put a podcast on the radio? We've talked about this before, but XM radio. I think that's a radio show. That would be a radio show. In America, 92% of the population still listens to radio every week, approximately approximately 272 million people. Yeah.

I mean, traditional media is going nowhere, by the way. I can't remember if I've ever mentioned that. I don't know if you have. But speaking of subs as well as music, you know what we actually don't talk about enough? The 50 Shades of Grey soundtrack. Have you ever watched any of those? I've watched, yeah, I watched 50 Shades of Grey.

No, I watched all three this weekend with some friends. It's just like, you know, funny and fun. the soundtrack let me read you some of the songs Connor you're not going to believe the songs on this soundtrack oh here it is okay I put a spell on you I put a spell on you on glasses need to go back on oh yeah because you earned I actually can't see that's why I'm going to access that on my phone

give me one second stop looking because I'm going to read them to you okay so that you can love me like you do was Ellie Gold love me like you do love me like you do I mean, this is just an all-time... Hold on. I don't want to live forever. Taylor Swift X. Zane. Bumb-Bim-Bim by Nick Jonas and Nikki Minaj.

That one probably could have sat out. I don't think so. Earned it. Yeah, that one, that's a song. The Crazy in Love. Earned It is a song that needed to be in that movie. 100%. I couldn't have made that movie without Earned It by the weekend.

Crazy in Love, Beyonce, but that version that's like almost a little sinister. You know? Which I think we need it. That's like a slow-mo kind of backshots song. And all of those songs were brought to you by the 50 Shades franchise. Do you think that they paid to produce all of those? I put a spell on you, that other version. By Annie Linux.

Yes. Yeah. I just don't think we talk about it enough, as well as Jamie Dornan's version of maybe I'm amazed. No, no, no. This was talked about a lot, actually. This was like... I don't think we've talked about it enough recently. Yeah, the movie came out in 2015.

So it has been seven years. It's been eight years. Go ahead and put on the 50 shades of soundtrack. 50 shades of soundtrack in your car. You won't regret it. Yeah, but I would say don't do while you're driving in case you get a little bit too riled up. From the soundtrack?

Behind the wheel. Could be possible. Yeah. You wouldn't want to be response. You wouldn't want any blood on your hand. That's a good excuse for if a cop pulls you over. Sorry, I was listening to the 50 Shades of Gray soundtrack and got too riled up. I want to know.

If you've ever had a, if you've ever been pulled over by a cop, because I've always thought this and said, I am so sorry I was listening to Pop Smoke or like I was listening to like something that, I'm trying to think of a song that, oh, I can't remember the song that makes me feel like I could run through a wall. No, it's by the black eyed piece. A boo-boom-boom. No, Brooke, come on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What is it? Pump it. Pump it. Puppet, parenthesis louder by the black eyepiece, I could fight a bear to that song. I completely am.

By the way, watch that music video. We don't talk about that enough. Will I am is... Maybe we could watch that in the bonus. Will I.M. is running parallel using his haters' chest as his track in a circle. I had no idea. It's phenomenal.

Do you know what the number one reason that people give police officers when they're being pulled over for of why they were speeding? Poop, right? stomach eggs. Yeah. Yeah.

I want to know if you've been pulled over. Please don't lie about that, by the way, because those of us that are actually telling the truth, it's going to become a boy who cried wolf situation or woman who cried wolf situation. You know? So be honest in those situations. I want to know if you've had, I want people to DM us and tell us if you've had,

if you've been pulled over and gotten away with an excuse or not gotten away with an excuse. Damn it. Or especially like if it's a song because I'm so curious if a police officer would be like, I am a black eyed peace fan so I know where you're coming from I like imagine if you were on a police chase you know how they just kind of throw their lights on

and go a million miles an hour yeah throw on pump it by the black guy bees and be like get his ass yeah and you would get his ass if that was the song 100% justice is a dish served best served hot by the way black for me personally I would have to be beauty and a beat

by Justin and Nicky Minaj so do you think you could serve up some some hard hardcore justice from with beauty and a beat one background no without a doubt that would be my chase song that's crazy yeah um how are you by the way fine how was your week since i saw you i didn't do anything you didn't no i don't think so i watched 50 shades of gray yeah and i must have done something else oh I have been watching, speaking of TV and movies and film. And I know this doesn't happen to you because you don't scroll on TikTok.

But I have been watching shows in about 159 parts. Specifically shows I've never seen before. Specifically doctor shows. Are you just saying you're watching clips of shows that you haven't seen? But like part one through like 159. Of one episode? Yeah. So I'll watch an episode and then I'll move on to the next episode.

specifically of the good doctor I don't know I don't even I can't even grasp what you're saying Okay so it'll be like Oh this episode of the Good Doctor Part 1 and it'll be a three minute clip And then I'm like well what happens next

I'll go to the comments Where it says oh here's part two And I'll click on part two And I will keep doing that until I get to the end of episode Which is probably around part 159 Wait you can link new videos and TikTok comments now Well you know in the comments It's like if you respond to a comment with a video

It will be in the comments Oh So like somebody who comments like, I need part two, they'll respond with part two. Instead of just like crack it open your laptop? Yes. And watching it? Exactly. Okay.

I must have seen 50 episodes of The Good Doctor this weekend. Interesting show. In chunk. In chunk format. Wait. The Good Doctor is the one that I got in trouble for. Yes. For speaking.

For speaking ill of the Good Doctor. Because guess what? He's a murderer in a different show. So sorry. Oh, because you called him a little fake. Yeah. He's actually the. opposite of a good doctor.

He's actually like an evil murder in the other show. Did you watch that show, Bates Motel? Yeah. Good show. No one talks about it. No one talks about Bates Motel. No one talks about it.

I bet they have like a really specific niche following. Anything that happens in a motel, whether it be Schitts Creek or Bates Motel. Mm-hmm. Good shows. Yeah, those are the only two I know, but I actually haven't watched Schitt's Creek. Anytime you see a motel pop up,

oh, you should. Uh-uh. Oh, actually, let's not encourage it because that would be like a whole thing that we have. to deal with for six months. Brooks knew like... And what would be the problem?

Because we all have moved on since Shitt's Creek happened. I can't go back. It's a great show. Okay. I need to watch Shits Creek and Always Sunny. That would be an inch... Our show would take a different turn if you started watching Always Sunny because I still watch, I rewatch Always Sunny.

I don't know if you would love it. I think you would really love Shits Creek. Okay. Because the characters are like cute and fun. Always Sunny is pretty... degenerate. Why wouldn't, I like that. Okay.

I'll send you an episode to watch. No, I'll just start from episode one. How about that? Or I could watch on TikTok via 159 parts. Okay. I don't, I need you to, if you're going to start from episode one, that's a tough not to swallow, just given the first, the first episode. It's bad.

No, it's just intense. Okay. I think the title of the first episode is, the gang gets racist. Like, I think that that is, like, and it is satire, obviously, but it's, it's just, like, it's a tough thing. Well, as you know, I am from Philadelphia,

so I'm used to that type of humor and behavior. Yeah. That made, that was the only, that was the first time I think I ever had heard of Philadelphia as a city. Really? Really? So in my mind, that's what it's like.

The crap, the one with the crack in it? Exactly her. How was she doing? Last tie checked, well. Mm-hmm. That crack? That crack. Creck.

Her neck, her back. Their pussy as well. Is that crack? Yeah. That was about the Liberty Buffers. That was about the Liberty Bell. We are history buffs here on this show. I was going to say earlier when we were talking about, unless you have anything else to say about the Liberty Bell's pussy.

I've been watching The Good Doctor and House as well. Have you ever watched House? Have I ever watched House? I've watched every episode of House. Seriously? Yeah. He's nutty. He is.

Yeah. I haven't gotten to like the crux of his backstory yet because, you know, it's a little bit scattered. I feel like. On TikTok. Oh, right. But he, was there no HR for him? Talk about malpractice. He should have been home resting.

He's mean. But guess what? He's a mean boy. Guess what? He cracked that case. That's the thing. It's like weighing the pros and cons. Would we be shooting ourselves in the foot if we, if we fire this guy that's violating

probably every hip a hip a bullet point that we could cover here. But he needs to get to the bottom of this girl's thing in her stomach. Yeah. And I will say, and I'm saying this out loud so that my phone hears it so that my free you page will bring it to me. I want to get, I want more meat on houses backstory. If you wouldn't mind giving that to me,

TikTok. I don't know, because I don't know what has led him to be. It's got to be something. He wasn't born this way. And what's going on with his leg? I want that information. It's like such an easy Google. I don't want to Google it. I want TikTok to give it to me 159 parts.

Okay. And I'd also going to keep watching the good doctor because you know what? I think he's pretty cute. The good doctor as well as Norman Bay. What is his name? Freddie Highmore.

Okay. I'd be interested to like know what he's like in real life. I bet he's probably pretty consistent with all the characters that he plays. He's British. He's pretty typecast. He was also Charlie in Charlie in the Chocolate Factory as a wee lad.

And he was, yes. He's such a sweetheart. Yeah. You know? If I had to say, I would say. That's him and Charlie on the left and that's just him him kind of shrinky-dinked. He's a great actor.

He is. So if I had to guess, I would say he's a sweetheart and maybe a little intense. Maybe a little uncomfortable. Maybe. maybe one day we'll find out but he is a good actor seven things to know about Freddie Highmore

I'd like to know why not let's get a bullet point in yeah okay so I love that I love when you click on an article and it gives you 17 paragraphs before you can give us just give us the bullet points

about Freddie Highmore he was seven when he was in Charlie in the chocolate factory child actor in 2004 okay okay I'm over it wait I'm not

I just want One bullet point. Have we passed a bullet point? Oh, Spider-Wit Chronicles. Oh, did you watch that? That's great. Yeah, that was a good movie. Wow.

And there he is with... I love him. I really do. Oh, that wasn't even for Charlie. Okay, I think they're just telling us what he's been in. In his rules. I would like more personal info, but... Well, there's much more to come, according to this article.

So to answer your question. Okay. Would they be able to tell us? Oh. Okay. No. Oh, he wrote a show. That's awesome.

I'm looking forward to watching it on TikTok. Freddie. Yeah, he's a king. He is a king. Okay. I was going to say earlier when we were talking about, this is like, I think this is like an ongoing situation,

but when I was talking about, I brought up Ed Sheeran. I guess he's being sued. Oh, yeah. He's being sued by. Marvin Gay's, the Marvin Gay LLC, yeah. The estate for plagiarism.

Yeah. And so now, now. For which song? He's now threatening, um, thinking out, loud and let's get it on. They say that he may have plagiarized copyright infringement that that song.

Now, it's a copyright infringement trial that started last week in Manhattan and Sharon stands accused of copying Marvin Gay's legendary R.R.B. song, Let's get it on. And his 2014 hit Thinking Out Loud. Why is this just becoming a thing? I think it was a previous suit that has now been brought to trial. And Ed says he will stop making music if he's found guilty. Yeah. So a lot of people are begging the courts to do justice and make him guilty. However, no.

On this podcast, we are an edge here in safe space. We are. And recognize his talent and hope for his innocence in this case. Yeah. Because I don't hear those songs sounding like. I also think that we don't give him enough credit. No, we don't. And I'm hoping his new album puts him back.

Oh, yeah. He's got a new album coming up. Tomorrow. I got notified this morning on my Spotify if I want to pre-save, subtract. Wow. And guess what? It's subtract?

I did. Did you? I told you my conspiracy theory about why this one's called subtract and the last one was called. Can you refresh us, please? Yeah, what was the last one called? Division?

Divide. No, that was the good one. That was one. Slash. Multiply. No, that was one of us as well. Add equals. Yes.

This is what I, the last album was infamously not his best. And I think he knew that. And I think that he called it equals because that's a different kind of symbol than the plus minus division and multiply. And he's keeping those as his good albums. And the equals one, he kept as an outlier of those symbols because he knew like, this isn't my best work.

Is that makes sense? Yeah. That's my theory. Oh, how exciting. So I think this one's going to be good. I mean, I've always been in Ed Shearing's fan. I told you, Shape of You was my favorite song for about a year and a half. And, you know, because I was in, Ed Sheeran wrote.

Wait. Dung, Dung, yeah. In like 2010. or before that when One Direction was just coming too. He wrote songs for them on their first album. And so I became an Ed stand before Ed's first album was even out. How old is he? Guess how old he is?

Oh, God, he could be anywhere from 20 to 85. I know. And that's the beauty of his presence is he's kind of omni. 30, 36. 32. Oh. Whoa. Yeah, he's our age.

We're almost there. Yeah, no. That is alarming. He's not just not that much older than... He's married? Yes, he's a kid. To Cherry Seabombele? Seaborn.

High school, went to high school with her. Awesome. But they weren't dating in high school. He has three kids, two kids. No, he doesn't. He has two kids. Jupiter and Lira. Okay.

Very cool. He's keeping that part of his life private, which I totally respect. Let me get some visuals on these kids. You know, remember the Ed Sheer and baby that's actually not his baby. baby. Oh yeah,

I do. Can we look up Ed Sheer and baby and they will know exactly what I mean and by the I mean Google images that

yeah. Yeah, no. I do remember this. I love, love, love her. Yeah. There were videos that came out with her too

and she's funny. She's a riot. She's a riot, little girl. We need to be here. We need to start a list of things we need to talk about more and people

we need to be hearing more from. Her and Freddie Highmore need a podcast. I like that. You're on the list train. Yeah. Loveless. What don't we say

we need to start a list on the other day? Oh, moments that have just like weird things that have happened to us that we feel like maybe wouldn't happen anyone else. When we go back to the copyright infringement trial and I want to go back to that. I have to say the other day,

Brooke and I went to a restaurant and this is what reminded me that we need to start keeping a list of things that like don't feel real in the moment, but they're so real. We had this waitress that kept walking up to our table as if she was about to say something and then would stand there

and kind of raise her eyebrows and go like this and me and Brooke would look around the room and how are you like I kept being like can I I almost stood up and said can I get you started with anything well that's similar to the man we walked in that restaurant and a man that was sitting

dining with a group of people stood up and asked how he could help us so it was just he was a patron so I think we might have eaten At a COA. We did something that we... And by the way, food? Trash. Yeah.

Arbitchman. Yeah. It was... That was like a horrible thing. Yeah, I don't know. That was a horrible moment. But... Anyways, okay, I want to go back to this copyright infringement trial.

So I want to... I don't even understand how those songs... I want you to sing... Thinking out loud. You sing thinking out loud. And then I'm going to sing, let's get it all. Are we allowed to do that or is that copyright problem? As long as you sing it and we don't play it.

Okay. Well, I have to get some lyrics. So let's get in. on because I don't remember. Which parts sound the same. I bet it's let's get it on. Thing it out. Okay.

I'm hearing you. Right? It has to be. Wait, did they say specifically, I've been really trying, baby. Oh. Is it? And let me pull up the lyrics on my,

on my individual device to thinking out loud. Should I start from the beginning? Thinking out. Yeah, that's, when your legs. That's when your legs. Those don't sound anything like. legs.

So when are they supposed to start sounding similar? So honey now? Tell me what to do and I'll do it. I just am not understanding where they even could possibly start to sound similar. Start singing that one. When your legs don't work like they used to before. Are you hearing any sort of Marvin Gay then? No.

I hear it. Do you? No. Hang on wait. Maybe I'll start from the top of these lyrics really quick. I'm really trying now. No, I'm a really trying, baby. I think, but that's, but baby now.

But I don't. And I hold back this feeling for so long. Take me into your loving arms. Keep going. Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars. Come on, no, come. Place your head on my beating heart. What are you?

I'm not hearing it. I'm thinking out. Let's get it all. No. That is absurd. On behalf of Marvin, gay. LLC Inc.

There's nothing there. Wait, didn't he just die? Oh, sorry. A while ago. Then who's doing this? Just the committee. His estate. His state.

Marvin would not have wanted this. Okay, wait. Did I have a dream about that we had the same conversation? Because I feel the same way. Why are they suing him after Marvin has passed? To get money. Oh, he was assassinated in 1984.

Marvin? Marvin. Marvin? Yikes. Yeah, there was like things with his parents and his stepdad, I remember. I don't remember the whole thing. Ooh. Oh, Gay intervened in a fight between his parents in the early afternoon.

Family house. He became involved in a physical altercation. And he was, and so I don't know if I would call that an assassination as much as I would call that just like his dad shot him. I think that's the definition of assassination. I think an assassination is like a plan. It's someone famous, right? Can you be assassinated if you're not famous? Yeah, yeah.

You could be assassinated. Well, I could be assassinated. I got tons of followers. He, she, we could be assassinated. Wombo? Wombo. Can we look up specifically which parts? I don't know if it will tell us.

Google put in the search engine. What part of thinking out loud sounds like, let's get it on? It might be in the suit. It might be in the article that we have pulled up from Vulture. Oh, yes, the case. Okay, so, oops. What has Sheeran testified? No, I don't think it says.

Also? Oh, wait, no, there it is. There it is. Okay. When the trial picked back up over the weekend, Sheeran returned to the stand with his guitar. Per the Daily Beast, his testimony, became a performance of multiple mashouts,

including one of thinking out loud. What a beautiful ballad. Yeah. And a song by Van Morrison, who Shearine claimed was actually the primary inspiration for the song. Shearine said his producers referred to thinking as the Van Morrison tune, because his voice sometimes sounded like the Irish singer-songwriter. The Beast reported jurors looked amused, of course, during the performance.

Yeah, they're getting a private show from Ed Shearin. Doing matchups. Seriously. Shearne went on to say that being accused of stealing songs is really insulting. Yeah, for sure. And the songwriting asked about if you were to lose the lawsuit, the songwriting precedent, it would set, he responded, I'm done.

Music theory is in the paragraph above that. Oh. Nope, just the one that was right about it. It's impossible to make a song that doesn't sound a little bit like another song at this point. I also think that like... How are people even making new songs?

Where's the gray area in between inspiration and stealing and theft? I guess it's just if you decide to sue or not. We raise a good question to the courts. We should have been there. Yeah, I have no idea. We would be so good in court because we would confuse everybody. I'd be like, I don't, what are you at?

Yes. But we would actually be awful because we would change our mind depending on who was testifying. No, you don't have to agree with my opinions. I made them up on the spot. Yeah. And they'll be changing in 10 seconds. Yeah. Ooh.

Yeah, that's at the end. Yeah. I don't, I'm hoping for Ed's innocent. This is also like a really good time for me to slip in my daily rundown because it is about this exact situation. Perfect. So there were a couple dailies that happened in between last week and this week,

but one was really interesting and it's about, there was a song that went viral on Twitter, everywhere on all streaming platforms, and it was a song by Drake in the Weekend, made by AI. And the song is unbelievable. It took like all of the classic Drake, you know, pieces with,

and it made references to pop culture, Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber. It also, then the weekend pops in and it's his classic, like, tragic. like gutter old voice yeah and it's it's phenomenal and it went so so so viral it's picked up on all streaming services finally it's caught wind by these by universal music group that reps drake and the weekend and they get it taken off of every site on the grounds of because technically so it was made by this guy called ghost writer he's an anonymous like producer whatever that use this AI to create

this thing technically because it was created and it doesn't it uses their likeness but you can't sue on the grounds of artificial intelligence likeness of an artist yet because it's so brand new. He sampled one piece of a song that already exists so they were able to get it removed from all platforms on that basis. But

like outside of that now they're just like rewriting this whole thing around AI music and what's going to happen because a lot of artists like Grimes. Like who's rewriting? The courts and stuff? Yeah, they have to make all these new rules. Yeah. Around like this AI thing because it is using

like celebrity likeness, which is they own like anything that uses their likeness. But a lot of artists like Grimes are coming out. Grimes came out and said, I'm cool with any AI generated music that uses my likeness as long as I get to keep 50% of the revenue generated. Yeah. And then you don't go to work. But then it's so it's almost using their voices as like an instrument and a song. Right.

But that's interesting. So that's developing now. But can we? It's too powerful. For example, I heard a cover of Oh, Caroline, generated by AI Harry Style. Yeah. It's too much.

Yeah. I should never have to hear that. No. Ever. It's kind of fun. Without a warning. Yeah. They should have popped a warning on that, on that bitch.

Yeah. But it is, it's interesting. I don't know. I'm done with it, though. I think that we should stop. It's too much. It's too powerful. It makes things less special.

Some big company. I think Intel or somebody just laid off like a bunch of people because they figured out their jobs can be done by AI At least our job couldn't be done by AI Maybe it could I've tried to get it too and it's not very funny Chat GBTGPT's not very funny That's good that's good well it probably will be soon though That's a good question can a eyes have A sense of humor well AIs can't get up on the stage and shake while they're holding the mic as much as I can

I shake like a Chihuahua like shake your ass and dancing and holding the mic and Mike. Nobody could shake like me. But that's it. That's really it. It's interesting. Are we allowed to because it's not copyrighted, play that song? It'll get a stick off.

Shoot. You're doing the bonus? Okay. Well, it's going to be in the bonus. But if you want to look it up, also, it's just like Drake, the weekend viral AI song. It's pretty cool. Okay. Oh, look what I have today.

Like a couple days, no, a couple days ago, I found this. I've been going to the beach because the sun's coming out finally. No, I found this piece of coral that's shaped like a chicken wing. How would you know that's coral? I mean, what else would it be? I don't know what that, a rock, sea rock? No, a sea rock would be coral. Oh.

Do you want to touch it? Yeah, I do. It's a warm. I've kept it with me. That is a chicken wing. I know. And you think I don't know that? This is more chicken wing shape than a chicken wing.

I know. So it's been in kind of just like my presence for a long time and I never understood people that like have crystals but I do understand them now because this is my kind of crystal situation it's kind of brought me a bit of peace I never would have thought this is coral because when I think of Carl I think of orange yeah it's it's white but Carl can come in all shapes and sizes oh don't do that because it is your team off my chicken wang thank you for sharing of course that is like the perfect show and tell I know no I know I know we should You need a half show and tell us adults.

I know. We should do that next week. Okay. I show people and tell them everything about me. Every time I talk to anyone so I don't really, like, don't need a designated time for that. But yeah, I do like where your head's at. Do you want to take this next part while I eat my banana? I was just about to ask you about your banana.

Yeah, should we talk about the Met Gala? Well, I have to eat a banana every day. Why? Because I'll get cramps on my runs if I don't eat a banana. I think due to potassium. Yeah. Okay. Awesome. Have your banana. I can talk about the mech gala a little bit. Yeah, jump. Dive us into the mech gala.

Heading into the mecgala. Overall, not going to touch on it too much because I'm sure you've heard a lot about it. And in terms of the outfits, I was personally pretty underwhelmed. But in a good way, it's kind of refreshing to be underwhelmed after you're overwhelmed for so long at the met gala specifically. But something that stuck out to me personally. that probably didn't speak to a lot of you is Jonathan Groff, who, for those of you that don't know, Jonathan, I would say to this date, one of my, the most intense tier one I've ever had in my life. He is known for being on glee as Jesse St. James before that. He was in Spring Awakening with Liam Michelle. He's Liam Michelle's best friend. You also may know him as the voice of Christoph. and Frozen.

And also the King in Hamilton. What did he do? He was Christoph in Frozen. Oh. What did you think I said? I don't know what you said about him being frozen. No, in Frozen. Like maybe.

In the Disney movie. No. And he was also in that new movie, Knock at the Cabin. He was one of the dads. And he is truly just like the most talented singer.

actor person. I could do an entire podcast just about Jonathan Groff. He went to the MetGala and he was known at the MetGala for photo bombing Sidney Sweeney not once but twice, which I feel was kind of like a personal

vindication for me because I feel like Jonathan is niche enough that it's personal for him to be photoboming Sidney Sweeney because I spoke, we spoke about her last week and I was not loving the whole Glenn Sydney relationship. And I was vocal about that. And so Jonathan somehow heard that through divine intervention and was able to photo bomb her not once, but twice on my behalf.

Just now that I think is interesting because I don't think that that's a photo bomb. That is divine intervention because he didn't do either of those things on purpose. He was just placed there. Yeah, by the divinity. Higher power. Yeah. check out the other time. Oh, we looked at it. He's got good skin. He's got great skin,

great hair, and that is another piece that he did as well, which I didn't even see Sidney in that image. My eyes, straight to Jonathan. Oh, look at him. Dressed, by the way, very classy. Yeah, very classy. And I guess that's about all I have to say about Jonathan for now, but in the future

I'd love to do a mini-series or something just on the life of Jonathan Groff. You know he's from Pennsylvania. Lancaster specifically, which is like the Amish space. So he grew up in like that very rural. I could easily see him being like just in a different fun. Yeah.

And it was such a transition for him to go from that space to Broadway. An Amish Bees. Yeah. Well, I thought the Mac Gallo was interesting because this is about, this was like a memorial service for Carl Lagerfield. Right. And that as well. Right. And so I think that that was a fun challenge for all of these A-listers to try to not make something about themselves, which I think a lot.

lot of people had trouble with. Because this whole thing is like, can I be the best one there? That's a good point. And so a lot of people, I think, had trouble with that. And the Kardashians kind of struggled with that this time around. I think Jared Leto can go to jail. What did he wear? He wore a full cat suit in.

That was Doja as well as? That was him. He wore that. Oh, okay. Yeah, I'm fine with jail. Yeah. Yeah, it's fine. Is it?

Is it? Is that Vanessa Hudgens? Yes. Okay. Why is she there? I don't know. She is someone who doesn't do anything that I know of and finds herself at the mecgala. And it, starring opposite Andrew Garfield and Tick,

Boom. Oh my gosh, I have banana all over me. I'm a mess over here via banana. I hate getting banana all over me. I hate the consistency of mustard. Me too. By the way, Mott's Applesauce reached out.

They're sending us a package. I know. Woo! I can't wait. And someone also designed a Brook and Connor make an applesauce label, which is kind of fun. Really? That's sweet. So if anyone would be interested if we created our own applesau?

Let us know. Also, Mons, if you're listening. We could make one with you. Doesn't matter. We're open to anything Applesauceau's cat thing was cool because you know Carlyagherfield had his cat I do. They were dressing. Yes. Yes. I do know that. Something of that was funny is everyone was like, why didn't people

talk? Like I think there should be like a Facebook group for the stylist that are like okay you're doing cat. We'll let us move in a different direction. Like the prom dress group. Yes. That's what I've seen that tweet a lot last night. I didn't have a prom dress group. You didn't? No. Well, the girls probably did. Yeah. Because what we wore a prom was like an unfitting

tucks, yeah, from men's warehouse. Didn't fit. And then a tie of a certain color. So I guess, yeah, we picked colors. And then a snapback from lids at the mall that matched our tie. My junior year prom dress

still to this day is a gorgeous piece. which is awesome to think about. That is awesome. Senior year, not as much. There was a leather element to that dress. But the junior year one is like gorgeous

and that's always nice to be like, wow, that's cool. That is cool. Could never fit into it though. It's rolled over to now. But I, it's fun. We went to prom in Texas and prom was always like

when it started to get really hot so it would be like 98 degrees. Yeah. And all the girls would get these intense, intense spray tans. And it was like this thing that moms would all take all the girls to get spray tans. And on all our prom pictures, the girls are bright orange, like the color of an actual citrus fruit. And then all the sweat marks.

So they look like tigers. Yeah. Because they would sweat and it would pull the, any girl that wore like a white or light colored dress. Oh my God. Orange going down. That's horrible. You know what? It was part of the process.

Yeah. It was part of it. Yeah. Okay. the Met Gala. Anybody else? I thought everything was great. Rob and Suki were absolutely breathtaking.

Somebody said that's the first time Rob has looked like he doesn't want to kill himself. Yeah, he was smiling. Which is true. Wow. They are, I think. This is Rob Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse. I think they are the most attractive couple that exists and has ever existed and will ever exist, probably. Yeah, they are looking good.

Another classy, another. gorgeous. They look perfect. fashion very closely, but this was like in like honor of him. So it was supposed to be like, I think it was supposed to be like very. Carl inspired. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't really. I'm not like, I'm not following. Big in Chanel. Yeah. Rob's, Rob's is. I don't really understand the. Oh, it's gorgeous. Yeah.

Well, she's, it'd be hard. I'm sure there's, yeah. I'm sure there's a connection that I'm just not aware of. Yeah. But I was freaking out because Kristen was also there, Kristen Stewart. And I was hoping we would get a Rob and Kristen reunion that we haven't seen ever. She was. She was hitting a weed pit.

She was carrying her binkie around. Yeah. You can see it. There's e-news posted like a slide show of different pictures from the event and in like the last one in the slide. She was clutching her binkie. Yeah, for dear life. Yeah. I love her.

Yeah, it was cool. I thought I was like, I didn't watch it in IRL. The Met Gala? Yeah. No, I didn't. I was just on Twitter, Florence Pugh. Oh my gosh. Speaking of Florence Pugh.

Stunning. Get this. You'll notice she shaved her head. Do you know why? No. She's in a movie. Oh, that movie with, uh, what's his face? You know.

Andrew Gar-G. She's in a movie with Andrew Garfield. And people have thought that it's going to be like his first maybe like sweet movie where no one dies and there's no war. She's going to get cancer, which is why they, that everyone thinks because there's also photos of her with like a. breathing tube. So it's probably why she shaped her head.

So it turns out it's, I don't think it's going to be a romantic comedy that we were all wanting. I mean, I could have told you that from the photos of them wearing like English teacher. Yeah, like those clothes are in the fall in a park.

Someone's going to die. It might be more of like a Titanic kind of film. Brooke, don't kind of throw that word around. Well, I'm saying you might really enjoy it. You've never even finished that movie. I can't. How could you compare it? It's too sad.

You know the ending, though. But I don't want to torture myself. That's torture. That's torture. If we're going to watch this movie. Anyways, I'd have a funny idea for the MacGala. I think it would be so funny if they made the MacGala one big jury duty episode. And they only invited one huge celebrity like a Nicole Kidman and everyone else's random people on the carpet.

That's a great idea. And then that would be a good tribute to, like, Carl Lagerfield. Like, you have no celebrity. It's just all his fashion. Nobody there matters. Connor, that's beautiful. And everyone being like, but then messing with the one celebrity. That's the perfect intersection of beauty and comedy.

Imagine. Of meaning and comedy. The Kardashians. And then everyone else was just like a plebe. I don't think they'd notice. They wouldn't. Yeah, but that's a good idea. I thought that was funny.

Other thing, let me thank the interviews. Chloe Feynman is not very good at them, it seems. I didn't watch any. I watched them on Twitter. Emma Chamberlain can do whatever she wants for the rest of her, like, does everything so good. Uh-huh. I guess she interviewed Doge Cat. Right.

Doge Cat just me out. And then she's get, Doge Cat's getting like a bunch of backlash, I guess, for being rude. Can we watch it? Oh, let's play it. This. Do we have, oh. Wait, so who made it? Operation for tonight.

Be on. honest with me and go into detail. So what are you excited to see in there today? Is it your first met? Um, okay. I don't need any more of that. I don't think it's rude. I think it was a bit that's just not funny. I think, I think

Emma was in on that. Yeah, I agree. I'm sure they talked about it before. She's like, go into detail. Yeah, and they were like, oh, let's, let's give this a go, and they gave it a go, and it didn't work, and that's fine. It's just not, well, it's also not supposed to be, like, a funny event. I yeah sure

I don't think it's like a crime that they like wanted to like make an amusing bit it just didn't land yeah yeah okay but I think Emma is held her own yeah she's so good at that she is wait what is this thing about jack Harlow avoids Matt reports because he was on shrooms I think he was on shrooms um I don't know okay this this was like kind of overwhelming but it's good it's this is what I wished for long long ago if you remember famous people just being famous people and being out of reach for us. I like that for some things, you know? Mm-hmm.

And that's all I have. Okay, we can move on from the MECA. See you next year. See you next year. First Monday in May. Yeah. Something that is actually interesting that people will find interesting is, do you know who Colleen Hoover is? Yeah. Okay.

I told you my mom's reading her book. Right. Oh, and I told you that next to me on the train. Yeah. Right. You ruined you ruined that memory of my mom and I on the train for me. Oh, yeah. She was reading it as with us. okay so

I read that in college like before Colleen was like big on TikTok and I don't think I've read a Colleen book since I don't know if I would still enjoy them the way I did when I was younger but who's to say but anyway it ends with us is kind of controversial

yeah because like there were people I said something about Colleen Hoover on the previous episode and someone was like oh my God Brooke reads Colleen Hoover like lost all respects and it's like

what Colleen do now? people can have different interests. I will say, and I didn't say, Brooke and I have none of the same interests. And I didn't even say, I just said that I've read her books before, but whatever. So this movie is kind of controversial. It deals with, without spoiling, it ends with us as being made. Oh, they're making a movie. Deals with some sensitive subject matter for sure.

But Jenny Slate was just cast in it, which is so interesting as she is typically a comedic actress. Yeah. And this is by no means a comedy whatsoever. And I'm very interested about this casting the decision and interested to see her in their role. Blake lively is also in it. Blake lively is the main girl, which a lot of people are upset about me because I didn't

read the book. Yeah, that's fine. But a lot of people are upset about that. Why? They just like didn't picture her that way. Well, what do you want? What do you want? To take a vote on what the characters look like?

It's not your book. It's not your movie. You got to roll with the bunches. That's why I always say see the movie first. You won't be upset. I could never see a movie and then read the book. But I'm saying if you're going to be upset about who they cast in the movie or the TV show, I would suggest you watch it first and then read the book so that.

To avoid upset? Yeah. I guess people didn't know this was going to be made into a movie because it came out in like 2017. I don't read books. Right. Fair. But I think people are talking. That's all I'll say. There's conversations.

It's going to be a big. There's conversations of many, a plenty. Yes. It's going to be a big film. Okay, cool. I'm excited. It kind of sounds like where the Croddads sing. Not at all.

No, I mean, in terms of hype. And casting and stuff. Because I remember, I didn't read that book, but I remember every time they cast someone knew, it was big news. Yeah. Well, I'm excited to see it play out. And I'm happy for Jenny Slate because this is a big, big opportunity. It's going to have a lot of eyes on it.

And I love me. Yeah, good for her. Well, she deserves a world. She's spiring on all. All cylinders. She is. She deserves the world. She is so fucking funny.

She is. I think I have, I have an idea zone today because I have two funny ideas that I was thinking up. Okay. Not even funny. Great ideas. Good ideas. But before we say that, the writer's strike is happening right now.

A little bit above my head, I will say, but I do understand that the writer's strike for anyone that isn't like fully in the loop. I think I'm pretty in the loop. but I'm still a little bit confused with what it is. But I guess a lot of TV and film writers right now are striking for not being compensated appropriately. So we stand with our writing friends and family. Yeah.

And you were right. This is the biggest writer strike since 2007. Walk me through that. I don't know. Do you do some background? I did a Wikipedia search. This is already on Wikipedia. And it's one of those Wikipedia articles.

It's like this is ongoing. Ongo. Well, basically, I think a lot of, people that are probably listening to the podcast, we probably weren't super aware of the last time it happened, but it was a big one in 2007 where like all the late, and by the way, all the late night shows are paused right now, SNL with Pete Davidson has been shelved. All of these things you're happening. It seems like no big deal. But when you think about how much TV we're consuming and how much content in general we're consuming, it's going to take a hit because they are not, they're not

working, they're not going to be working until they're, they get what they deserve. Yeah, I think this specifically is about royalties and how the writers are not being compensated fairly in terms of like getting fair royalties yeah well it's not yeah right but um so i think we'll see the effects of that and i think it's going to be significant i think with with tictock and everything there's going to be actual progress probably well well we'll keep our eye on the pulse i was i was watching this one is that the same eye on the pulse finger on the pulse but we could also watch the with our eyes. Whatever you prefer.

See that beating. I watched this thing with, I guess in 2007, the last time this happened, Conan O'Brien was on TV and he was standing with the writers that were striking and they had so much,

so little content to actually talk about on the show that he took his like ring off, his wedding ring, and they were just timing how long when he spun it, how long it would spin on the table because they were just like killing time. Wow. On late night.

That's so. us. By the way, I do want to say this strike happened right after James Cordon. I was just going to say, is that a coincidence? I guess. Yeah, I mean, it has to be, but it's just... But it's eerie.

It's so scary. It's eerie. Did you watch the last James Corden? I do not, but it's a bummer. I'm so sorry to so sorry for you that they didn't do a One Direction reunion. It's hard. It's hard. And that's all I can say about it. I really, really, really thought it was going to happen.

We all, I think we all did. Yeah. I'm surprised he didn't do something more, even if it wasn't a One Direction reunion because people were expecting something of that caliber. I'm surprised he just kind of did. I think he was done. He was done. He probably knew that, he probably heard inklings of the strike and was like, I just need to wrap up.

Maybe. I don't know, but it was pretty overwhelming. Yeah. Anyway, see you, James. Good riddance. Hard to be overwhelming with those two guests. Yeah. But it was. It managed to be. It's become more kind of in an under... Prince Harry was there in the audience.

Just like bopping around saying hi. Which is... That's, I guess, I feel like, how you feel like make MacGala just celebrities. That's in like, Prince Harry shouldn't be a James Corden. Yeah. Like, he should be in the... In Montecito in his villa, right?

Yeah. That's like too much. I agree. I shouldn't be able to do. just like see Prince Harry. I never want to lay eyes on him. Okay, we're aligned there. Okay, so I had these ideas.

Okay. I had a dream the other day. This came to me in a dream, almost like as if God tapped me on the shoulder and said, whispered this idea to me. Okay, I woke up laughing the other day, like a middle at like 4 a.m. And I was like, this is unbelievable. This is such a good idea. And I typed it into my notes.

And it's a little bit vague, but I think I understand what I was saying, because I remember the dream. I had a dream. One of my friends from high school tripped and fell into a wooden table. And his head went through the wooden table. And he was fine. This is a dream, by the way. And he stood up and had the table, the little table around his neck.

And we're all dying, everyone's laughing, like fauna of their knees laughing. But no one filmed it. And in my dream, I said, oh, my God, they should do. And Nathan, for you, where they hire really good set designers to rebuild one of your memories that you're sad you didn't get on camera. Good idea. And reenact it. That's like, it's not the rehearsal, but it's similar.

Yeah. In terms of reenacting. Because how bad are you like, oh my God, I can't believe no one caught that on camera. No worries. Or are there some moments that are just for you to treasure in your heart? No, I don't subscribe to that. I need it on film so I can watch it over and over and over again. Because I think we change things in our memory.

You know what my favorite thing we have on film is? and I don't know if she'll be mad, but I'd like to put it in the podcast. She'll be mad, though. Who is it about? Cat, Wellington. Oh. Do you know what I'm about?

Yeah. We have this video of when I first went to visit Connor. She went to do not less. No. But when I first went to visit Connor with Kat, it's not even funny to describe, because it's just like you have to see it. I'm just going to say it.

Okay. She sleeps. She sometimes sleeps with her eyes just like open. So your cousin, Logan, like, came in to say good morning to everyone and was like filming it and went to like wake up cat had the phone she was in a bunk bed like at the top and like film and could kind of see and just like started busting out laughing and cats like this the way her eyes are open and then the way she wakes up with already open eyes yeah it's like

the i hope that one day she'll let us show the world it's genuinely like that is something that it's like thank god i have that that we got that on camera it makes me pee my pants every time like every time. Okay, here's my other idea. I'm going to text her and ask if we can include it. She'll say now. So AI is doing all these things. What I would like AI to do

is change people's faces in public so I can start filming people in public again and not get in trouble for posting a picture of a stranger. That's a great idea. That's a great idea. Because some people are doing funny stuff or absurd stuff. And I want to take a video of them

or picture of them and not have some buddy in my ear saying don't post pictures of strangers online or even just like for brands like if you have to film something out in the wild you can't have anyone in the background and sometimes that's impossible yeah so that would be great free idea idea bill gates or whoever is up to up to no good up to no good over there on the AI department um I guess like the the AI that what you were just saying which is kind of weird is AI they're now using AI models for like Nike shoots and stuff. And it's like pissing off the model community.

What was I just saying? That like for brands on shoots when they're in public, but like in a different vein, they're like actually to like keep their models like diverse and like looking, you know, like fitting in the right clothes and whatever. They've been creating models in AI. But it's like kind of dumb not to cast people that work in that industry.

I don't know if every generation feels this way. They probably do. but I feel like we have just seen it all. You know? Like we started in this world. Not yet. Without computers or without, oh yeah.

Like mainstream access. When did the internet come about? I don't know. Okay, probably around the time we were born. I don't know. But like that's nuts to go from no internet to AI robots. January 1st, 1983. Oh, sorry.

That was a while back. Maybe when was the first cell phone? No, that was a long time ago because those weren't cars. But there was no... Well, we've gone through, we definitely went through like the Nokia phase.

I remember my parents had Nokia's. But honestly, when we were born, they probably didn't have... 2008. The Android phone arrives. We were very old. I remember I got my first smartphone because my dad took me,

we went and saw the fourth or fifth Pirates of the Caribbean movie with Penelope Cruz. which was my least favorite, but I went and got an Android after. That's a good memory. And then you know what sucks? Instagram came out right after I got my Android,

but they didn't have an Android app. So I would have to log in on my friend's phones to post a picture using the Sepia feature of a sunset or some M&Ms in my hand. You should add that to your list of traumas in addition to girl. It was really hard having an Android. That's how bad I wanted to be different.

And it turns out, I'm just like everybody else. And that's okay. I had a Blackberry. I also had a Blackberry. I was obsessed with my BBL or whatever it is. It's not a BBL. What was it?

BBM. BBM. BBM. Oh my God, I loved my BBM. Borexia. I would always make my Facebook status my BBM. I'm good. Yeah, I'm feeling all right. Yeah.

I'm about to have the best freaking night of my life. Yeah. I loved the BBM because it had games on it. That was the first one of the games on it. Could have possibly been the point. of what of BBMing is it was because you didn't have to pay for texting you had to pay for texting still then

I had to write my parents an essay on why I deserve to have 50 texts a month okay I'm all about it then it's eye messaging basically I had to tell my friends please stop texting me because I only have 15 left and they counted if someone texted me oh that's not fair no it's not fair no it's not fair

it's not and so then I had to rewrite another God, you have been through the ringer. I know. My life is really hard. Yeah. And then I had to write a new essay to get 100 texts a month. Were you approved? Pulling teeth.

Eventually, I was approved. How long did the essays have to be? By the higher ups, two pages. Double or single spaced? I don't think I knew what double space was. Could you imagine writing two pages on why you need to have a 100 text a month? Probably. But I wasn't, we weren't doing homework.

Right. We were flirting. What? We were flirting. Oh, on texts? Yeah. Oh, okay. I wasn't.

That's why I was confused. I had a sidekick. You flip it? Uh-huh. Flip it closed. I wanted a chocolate so bad. I had chocolate. I had a...

Envy, two. That was a cool one. A classic. And with that? Oh, I wanted to tell everyone I wore underwear today. So I might be in my... I'm not... Are you too...

Please, Ryan. So if you notice I've had a little bit of a change. Oh, if you notice I've had a little bit of a change over here, I'm kind of in my underwear era. Underweera. I love it. I don't care. I'll crash my car into a bridge. Okay.
