This episode is brought to you by Prime.
Obsession is in session.
And this summer, Prime originals have everything you want.
Steamy romances, irresistible love stories,
and the book to screen favorites you've already read twice.
Off campus, L, every year after, the love hypothesis,
Sterling Point, and more.
Slow burns, second chances, chemistry you can feel through the screen.
Your next obsession is waiting.
Watch only on Prime.
Winter is so last season.
And now spring's got you looking at pictures of tank tops with hungry eyes.
Your algorithm is feeding you cutoffs.
You're thirsty for the sun on your shoulders.
That perfect hang on the patio sundress.
Those sandals you can wear all day and all night.
And you've had enough of shopping from your couch.
Done hoping it looks anything like the picture when you tear up on that envelope.
It's time for a little in-person spring treat.
It's time for a trip to Ross.
Work your magic.
Plan B is a backup birth control option that's there for you when things don't go according to plan.
It specifically works after unprotected sex and before pregnancy occurs by temporarily delaying ovulation.
Plan B is available nationwide at all major retailers and through delivery apps like DoorDash.
No ID, prescription, or age requirement.
It's the number one OBGYN recommended brand of emergency contraception, and it won't impact your future fertility.
That's Freedom to Be.
Use us directed.
Streamer dream reveals his face.
I've seen stuff about this, but I don't know who we can't tell you a single thing.
Okay.
We can,
we don't have to.
Oh my God.
That's the thing about pop culture.
Saw it on e-news, actually, and thought, I think we're derailing a little bit
E-News from what's important here.
And it's not streamers.
Sorry.
Talkers as well.
I know.
And listen, I just love E-News so much, but it's like, where do we draw the line?
Right.
I thought this is mainstream pop culture.
I know.
It's like, the line is blurred.
The line is blurred.
end of the day and I wish the line was firmer.
Same.
But can't always get what we want.
So congrats to dream.
In conclusion, streamer dream revealed his face.
And we are so happy for him.
Yeah.
That takes courage.
And we wish you the best of luck in this new endeavor with your face being shown to the public.
It's not, it's not easy.
It doesn't get easier.
It does not get easier.
If I were you, I would have stuck the mask on and stayed with that.
If I could go back in time, I would mask.
Me too.
I would be marshalo.
Yeah.
Okay.
Perfect.
Hey, Kels.
Hey, Brooke.
In this space, I always feel like being transparent about the way I'm feeling.
Okay.
Just like mentally and physically.
Right.
Always helps me feel better during the pod because it's like if something comes up, it's like you know.
Totally.
What's going on?
Totally.
So just like a little update about like my body and my mind right now.
Okay.
I keep having these incidents with coffee where it's like I could have coffee in the morning.
Oh, I saw your story about this.
I don't get it scientifically.
I don't understand it either.
Well, I'll tell people that.
Sorry, I interrupt you.
No, no.
Oh my God, no.
Please interrupt me.
If you don't follow Brooke on Instagram,
I suggest you following her immediately.
Thanks, Kels.
Yeah.
Then you wouldn't have to explain yourself multiple times.
You're so right.
When you're right, you're right.
So true.
But if I have coffee in the morning,
I could fall asleep at any time in the afternoon
and take minimum four hour nap.
No problem.
Duh.
But if I have coffee in the afternoon, I'm up till 5 a.m.
And I was up till 5 last night.
Okay.
Kind of just like, I've done this whole podcast in my head a few times.
Okay.
So this isn't my first time around the block.
I can't wait.
At all.
I can tell.
So that's just where I am right now, just like a little fatigued.
Okay.
A little anxious just because I don't, I've never done this without Connor.
Really?
And it's like you, like if I have to do it without Connor, it's you.
Okay.
I was going to ask actually if I was.
your first call. You were my, you would have been my only. Okay. No, that didn't answer. Was I your first,
though? You were my first and you would have been my only. Okay. Because what happened and why Conner's not here.
I'm here, by the way. Is he was, and no one knew this. He was planning, he's in Texas. Right. Classic. And he was just
going to come back for the pod. And then go back for ACL. Oh my God. And then I was like, Connor, that doesn't make
sense. Okay. To do. Okay. Let me ask Kelse. Oh my God. Wow. Okay. So it was, you're like a really sweet.
sweet kind partner you could say that i'm saying some some would say and that's an option and i'm gonna be
honest here i blamed connor i mean it's no because he was ready to come back okay and i said let me ask
kelse oh my god and then if you said no i would have said all right get on get on that plane honey
oh my god and i was like kind of fucking damn it connor's leaving brook hanging no i was like really
team brook on this right and you always are i am i am you are like woman
supporting woman.
And I'm already feeling so much better just like talking to you and you being here and you being
my safe space.
Right.
I'm so happy to be here as your safe space.
And so anyway, the thing about the coffee is people were DMing and are like, oh, that
happens.
Like coffee affects people with autism differently.
Stop.
And I was just like, perfect.
Perfect.
By the way.
Yeah.
Like I believe you.
Right.
But it's like I, when did I say?
Right.
No.
When did I say?
Did you come out at a fucking steak?
Right.
When did I come out on the spectrum?
I didn't.
But thank you.
That's-
Thank you for the tips and tricks, though.
That's what I have for the possible.
And I'm going to give you one of my tips and tricks.
Please.
I feel like maybe it's because you've already...
Okay, well, actually, I don't know this.
And I don't want to assume.
No, tell me.
Do you always do like a mid-morning nap?
No.
Contrary to popular belief.
Okay.
I don't.
I don't.
Because I love a nap.
I love that.
Four hour naps pretty frequently, I would say.
So I didn't know if maybe you were doing that nap and then...
Every day.
And every day.
Right.
And then having the...
Because as am I.
Yeah.
And then having the coffee, but you've already done your nap.
So, like, you're not tired because of the nap.
Yes.
Yeah.
I would say I always do take a four hour minimum rest period.
Okay.
You know, I don't have to be unconscious, but I need to be rest.
Me too.
Ciesta.
Absolutely.
And sometimes I add a nap on top of that in case I'm feeling really tired.
Of course.
I mean, I woke up this morning genuinely, like genuinely excited to nap at around 2 p.m.
Always.
For four hours.
I wonder, like people say that's like a depression thing is like waking up, excited to go to bed.
I think it's just like, I'm not excited to go to bed.
I know.
I'm excited to nap because it makes me feel happy.
I'm not depressed.
I know what makes me feel.
feel happy. I agree. It's like a, well, I am kind of depressed, but I think it's a separate issue.
That's fine. It's just like I'm looking forward to the coziness aspect. Exactly. Not the being unconscious
and distant from the world aspect. Right. Right. Yeah. Totally. Wow. Um, glad we covered that.
So, yeah, I don't know the answer at the end of the day. I don't think it's either.
My autism.
I don't think so either.
Well, someone did say that it's probably just because in the morning you're still so exhausted that that overpowers.
Whereas at night you don't necessarily have the exhaustion.
That makes sense.
I guess that does make sense.
And like maybe like, I don't know.
I was going to say something, but it was going to sound stupid.
It's actually not an issue anymore because I'm not feeling tired.
Really?
I think it was a total like mindset.
anxiety thing and now I feel good talking.
No, no, no.
Interrupt me at any time.
I need to shut up.
So who decided on 9 a.m. for you guys.
Calsa's out of my hands.
Because like I wouldn't, I've come to terms with the fact that I'm not a morning person.
And I feel like somebody who runs this studio is a fucking morning person and it ruins my life.
and it ruins my life every day.
And now I'm late.
I'm tired.
I'm puffy.
And I'm going to bring this home.
They say don't bring your work home.
You're bringing it home.
I'm going to bring my work home today.
To the boss.
To the big boss.
It's purely so we can get the show out the next day.
Ryan says it's purely so we can get the show out the next day.
But let me pitch you this, Ryan.
Okay.
What about a later time yesterday?
Oh, my God.
Do you know what I mean?
Totally.
Well, you would actually have even more time.
Okay, but yesterday they have to do the big dogs.
So move everyone back.
So you want to move everyone.
Yeah.
Because the few times we've done shows in the afternoon, it's been a different brook.
Okay.
No, I'm totally understanding.
And I never wanted to say anything.
I'm happy that we're having this conversation.
It is an interesting point.
It's interesting.
I do respect the quick turnaround though.
Yeah, no, totally.
That's something that I've always respected.
Me too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it's hard to, it's hard to really like, you can't, God does not give with both hands.
No, she doesn't.
She does not.
She really doesn't.
Which is why we're stunning, but we're not mourning people.
Exactly, Kels.
Yeah.
I will say it's like I've gotten used to it a bit.
Okay.
Except for when I'm up late because then it becomes, well, if I go to sleep now, I'll get four hours.
But if I fall asleep in an hour, I'll get three.
and then I have to wake up at seven.
Okay.
So when it goes into those spirals, it's not so great.
Right.
Usually, I can do it.
Okay.
Happy belated birthday, by the way.
Wow.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate that.
I was listening to Circle Time, my favorite podcast,
starring Kelsey Kay.
Thank you so much.
On the way here, 29.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so we got you.
29 cookies.
You did?
Is that what this is?
I was kind of eyeing this.
So six.
But if you would have divide some of those
by a certain number.
These are like chunky boys.
Those are chunky crumbles.
Crumbles.
Wait, you guys have you had a crumbull?
I haven't.
There's a lot of mixed reviews.
I've seen on TikTok.
There's one with some like apples on the top.
It's kind of freaking me out a little bit.
But other than that, they look stunning.
That one, that Eminem one looks really.
Good looks really good. Yeah. Yeah. So you can have them now. You can have them later. I'm going to, I'm going to say it. Well, I just had some bagel. Morning bagel. Morning bagel. So I'm going to wait. But that looks really good and I'm really excited. And cookies are my favorite dessert. We had a feeling. Did you know? Maybe a little bit. Wow. Well, thank you so much for my 29 cookies. Oh, my God. Of course, Kels. And your birthday party was last weekend. And I wanted to talk.
talk about that with you because I had the privilege of being a guest.
I was, well, I was a guest at my birthday party, but so was Brooke.
And you know what's funny?
We did talk about this moment.
I was like, I'll come on B&C make a P any time you want.
And I said, do you promise?
And I'm fulfilling that promise.
And that was really like, if that conversation didn't happen, I would have maybe been a little
nervous to ask you.
When I saw the text, I was like, share me.
You knew.
Yeah.
I did remember that.
But I had a blast.
Did you?
At your 29th.
There were some things behind the scenes that were happening that I'm not sure if you were aware of.
I need to know.
That I wanted to bring to light.
I guess I'll start with our friend Tristan.
I don't know if you at any point saw him in tears.
So I 100% did.
And Tristan, this is my public apology.
Because so I am a bit of a birthday brat, I will say.
When it's my birthday, like, I'm a bitch, okay?
You have every right to be.
And so it was my birthday party.
And I did see Tristan in tears in the hallway.
But there were enough people around him supporting him where I felt like we don't need
another cook in the kitchen.
And I was like, this is my birthday.
I'm not going to deal with this.
And so I walked by, but I do feel badly that I ignored the person in tears in the hallway.
Because I was being a birthday bitch.
I think when I tell you why he was in tears,
you'll no longer feel super badly about kind of walking away from the situation.
I need to know.
So he did get in a little bit of a disagreement with the bathroom attendant.
Okay.
With the bathroom attendant that resulted immediate sobbing on his end.
What happened?
He wanted to go in the girls' room with all of our friends.
Okay.
And the bathroom attendant said,
you can't go in there.
Okay.
And that just like, like waterworks, instant waterworks.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
It's not even like a fun bathroom to be in with the girls.
It's small.
Like, you don't, I don't want to be in there with the girls.
And he, I don't know, like, I was having trouble hearing him just because it was kind of
loud by the bathroom.
I'm not sure what his exact process was, but it was like, I've never seen someone
inconsolable because, yeah, inconsolable because he wasn't.
allowed to go in the restroom.
That's so terrible.
Yeah.
I'm so happy I didn't stop.
And then, so he was crying.
And then the bathroom attendant said, you can't cry here.
And I think.
No.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was a hazard.
It was a safety.
Kind of a power move on the bathroom attendance part.
So then Tristan tried to go outside.
You have to come back inside.
Oh, my God.
So this is kind of increasing the tears.
Then he went into the photo booth.
to try to cry.
Can't be in there.
Well, yeah, no.
You can't cry in the photo.
Like, that's really where I draw in line.
Yeah.
You know how many girls were trying to get in there to take picks?
Like, totally.
He could have gotten the same bathroom experience, actually, in the photo booth with the girls.
Right.
Totally.
Totally.
And so I think every time the bathroom attendant told him a place he couldn't cry, it kind
of spurred him on more.
Oh, my God.
And so then eventually he was able to talk and kind of hash it out with the attendant.
And what had it up?
They chatted.
Yeah, they chatted.
And so Tristan is gay, but very much identifies as a man.
Right.
And so Tristan told the bartender what upset him.
The bartender or the bathroom?
Oh, sorry, the bathroom attendant.
I thought we were getting the whole staff involved for a second.
The bathroom attendant upset him a lot that he didn't ask how he identified, which is as a man, though.
Oh, okay.
So he still would not have been.
He wouldn't.
No.
He wouldn't have been allowed even more so.
Even more so.
Yeah.
Tristan was saying it really.
You just don't, you don't know.
Okay.
And so they, I have a video of them hugging it out.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
They hugged it out.
And everything was okay.
And then I cannot believe that was the drama of the night.
That was the drama of the night.
And like the bathroom, he was like a sweet guy.
It was just like, you know.
Was it the bathroom attendant?
It was a guy?
Yes.
It wasn't.
I think I might be using the wrong term.
Okay.
There was a bathroom attendant woman.
The hallway man.
The hallway outside the bathroom.
Mr.
Hallway.
Mr. Hallway.
Okay.
Who was kind of guarding over the bathroom doors.
Okay.
Because I was going to say that the root of the problem is the male bathroom
attendant in the female restroom then.
Right.
No.
Okay.
Because then Tristan was sobbing saying I would never do anything to those girls to harm them.
They are my life.
They are my life.
That is upsetting.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So that was a big.
God. I did see him crying.
And I will be honest, I did not stop.
But if that was you, I would have stopped.
That's really nice, Kels.
But I trusted the girls surrounding Tristan to not lead him astray.
No, it was really, I think everyone was able to get him back to a safe place.
Thank God.
And then I was kind of going through my own journey.
Oh, were you?
Of, I woke up that morning with, stomach was a little upset.
Okay.
But nothing like too out of the ordinary.
Yeah.
until like 6 p.m.
When I was like, this is out of the ordinary.
Okay.
But I, it's like not an option for me not to go to Kelsey's party.
Oh my God.
Support her.
Thank you.
And then I said, what will help my stomach?
Vodka ginger ale.
Make it a double.
Oh my God.
Yeah, because of the ginger ale.
Randomly.
Didn't, didn't help.
Didn't help.
No.
Weird.
Very randomly.
So I excused myself about an hour into the night.
You left?
I, Cal, you.
You wouldn't have wanted me there.
No, I mean, it's totally fine.
But for me, personally, I thought you were there until the place closed.
That's nice.
My spirit lingered on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I thought Tristan was later on.
I thought the Tristan of it all was happening later.
I thought our conversation was later.
So I was talking to you.
I came a little bit later to the party, though.
Right.
I feel like I was there from in the 8 to 930.
Totally.
But then excuse myself.
Oh, my God.
I'm so sorry that the vodka gingerails didn't help.
Random.
I would have told you to do the same if you had told me you're having some.
It seems like a no-brainer.
It does.
To me.
Were they good?
So good.
They have a really heavy pour there.
Yeah.
No, I learned that the hard way on my birthday party.
Yeah.
Well, what was the night like for you?
I've been blabbering on about.
I mean, it was like blissful.
Yeah.
Wow.
I mean, I was in birthday bitch.
I'm glad you didn't drag you down.
No one could have brought my spirits down.
something strange actually did happen to me
I like there was a person there that like I used to know
we hadn't seen each other in a really long time he's like mutual friends with our
friends on so he was there and I was introducing him to Cody and as I was talking to him
he actually he said I had something on my face and he licked his finger and wiped my face
with his thing that was the most memorable moment of the night for me that was when another
man was cleaning my face.
with his saliva in front of my fiance
who just kind of stood there.
And I was like, can you get it too, Cody?
I was like trying to joke around about it,
but everyone I've told is like, it's kind of weird.
What did Cody say after the fact?
I'm assuming you guys unpacked that pretty immediately.
Yeah, no, that was weird.
Yeah.
That's something that would be in like a Seinfeld.
But you know, I kind of loved the intimacy of it.
I feel like I'm pretty like,
I'm like, have I ever kissed you on the lips when I'm drunk?
Yeah.
Okay.
I am a lover not a fighter.
I am a lover when I drink.
So, I mean, I didn't mind it in the moment.
Totally.
Because I was like, oh my God, we're all best friends.
But after the fact, I was like, I'm going to keep that with the girls.
Yeah.
I don't need another man's spit on my face.
Right. That's something that I would have either had like a really adverse reaction to.
Right.
Or a complete opposite.
Fallen in love.
Head over heels.
Yeah.
No in between.
Right.
Yeah.
Well, for me, I, I, I.
it was kind of in between.
I didn't fall in love,
but I wasn't like completely disgusted
as I should have been.
I get it.
I was just kind of like, yeah, that makes sense.
That makes complete sense.
I would love to have Cody on
one day to hear about his.
I think we should get his opinion for sure one day.
That's really good.
Yeah.
But other than that, my night was great.
That's really good.
Yeah.
And then I also,
I understand, it's come to my understanding
that you are,
Are you technically a Virgo that identifies as a Libra?
Are you just all Libra?
I am a Libra.
So there's no Virgo whatsoever?
No, it ends on the 23rd.
Libra starts on the 23rd.
I was born on the 21st.
Okay.
Fourth, sorry, 24th.
So you're just full Libra through and through?
I'm full Libra.
Okay.
Are you really into astrology?
No, not at all.
I keep almost burping.
So I just want to formally apologize for that.
And you can move forward with a full burp.
at any time.
My burps never really come to fruition.
They just kind of sit right here.
I know that feeling.
Yeah.
Anyway, no idea.
I do know, though, that I'm supposed to be a Libra, not a Virgo.
But why?
Couldn't really tell you.
I don't know anything, really.
Right.
But I do know Virgos are the ones that have a reputation of being a little bit difficult.
And you're not a Virgo.
So no one would ever say that I never go.
No.
Virgo.
I think,
Oh my God,
that totally makes sense.
I mean, he's difficult.
Maybe.
Where were you on his
birthday celebration?
I wasn't invited.
We talked about it.
Yeah, I wasn't invited.
And I'm going to be honest here,
that it was like
not supposed to be his birthday celebration.
He just happened to come over
and it was going to be his birthday at midnight.
And as much as I'm a birthday bitch myself,
I love when it's someone else's birthday.
Yes.
And I don't want them to feel not loved.
Totally.
So I was like, I have to.
And like, I feel like he teeters sometimes.
Like, if no one acknowledged that.
With wanting to celebrate his birthday.
Yes.
And like, if no one acknowledged it was his birthday, he wouldn't have felt loved.
And then he would have been sad.
And he wouldn't have said that he was sad, but he would have been sad.
Totally.
Did I talk to you?
Did I tell you about, did I mention that?
You mentioned it.
Oh.
I did not tell him anything about that because I was like, it's your birthday.
Like, I want you to be happy.
And I said, I haven't said a word to him, but I was like.
Oh, my.
God. He hates me. But I know he just didn't want to celebrate it. It was an accidental celebration,
honestly. I know. I know that. I know that. And had I had the time to throw something together,
you would have been the first person I called. And I, and Kels, I know that. And I know he doesn't
hate me. I know you don't hate me, Connor. I don't think you're going to be listening to. He doesn't.
He better. Yeah. He will. When's your birthday? June 18th. So you're a Gemini.
Gemini, which is a little bit scary as well, I've heard.
I have respect for Gemini's.
I have nothing but respect.
Really?
Yeah.
I've never met a Gemini.
Because I don't know anything about them.
All the Gemini's I've met are like, it's like, yeah, that makes sense that you're a
okay.
It's like a lot of emotions at play.
Okay.
And like some like questionable coping coping mechanism.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's fine.
Which like that's completely fine.
Totally.
You guys have to do you.
Yeah.
That's true.
But I am.
I know I'm like a cancer sun or moon or rising.
Okay.
One of the above.
And I feel like that makes the most sense to me.
Okay.
Even though I know nothing about it.
So I don't know really much about it either.
Okay.
And I love the fact that we keep saying we know nothing about it.
And then, but you said your birthday.
And I'd say, oh, Gemini.
Yeah.
Done.
But all of my, like, a lot of my really close girlfriends are cancers.
So I feel like I get along really well with cancer girls.
Me too.
But I have a couple of ex-boyfriends who are cancer boys.
So I don't sit right.
Those don't sit right.
They shouldn't really like, they shouldn't.
It should be for girls only.
Yeah.
I agree.
Another thing that I wanted to bring up with you.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
Yes.
Is that I was a preschool teacher.
Right.
You are a preschool teacher.
I was.
But you're identity.
I identify as a preschool teacher.
This is true.
Whereas I don't know if I can.
still identify.
I wanted to ask if you have any stories and this is putting you on the spot.
Okay.
And if you don't, that's fine.
Okay.
Yeah.
Any stories.
Any stories just like any stories period with the kids that are maybe some that are like,
wow, I wouldn't have expected that to happen.
Okay.
Does that make sense?
Yes.
It totally does.
Totally understanding what you want me to say.
Or like maybe something funny.
Okay.
Okay. I just feel like I've never really talked about teaching. Do you have one?
That's kind of why I asked you. And I want to hear your word. It's because I have a story that I've never told.
Oh my God, an exclusive. Because I've been really scared I'm going to get in trouble.
Like canceled? No, not canceled, but like sued by the school.
Okay. So like canceled adjacent. Yeah. Preschool teacher canceled. But I don't think I will because one,
I never signed anything.
So I'm fine.
Like an NDA?
And never signed any sort of like NDA.
I'm so concerned.
Also I'm holding on to your sweater.
Like it's a hand.
Two, like this is a story of the school doing me really dirty.
Oh shit.
So it's like this is a B and C make a P exclusive.
So it's like I do them dirty.
That's okay after all these years.
And I wrote it down in my notes because the timeline is always really
confusing to me. Okay. So I need it like fully mapped out. I'm so excited. So I'm sorry I'm going to be
looking at my phone this whole time. And I also need to be really intentional about not using people's
real names. Oh my God. Okay. Because I've done that on the pod before. So do we get to rename them?
Yeah. Can you do it? Absolutely. Okay. Pick a name for like a bad, a bad girl name.
Ooh. Okay. Um, I'm going to go out on the limb here and I'm going to say April.
April. That's that's really good. Okay. Okay. So this is the story of teacher April.
Ugh.
Total. Bitch. Bitch.
Psycho. And when I graduated college, I started working right away. Like a week later, started working at a preschool. Never stop grinding. Never stop grinding. Totally. And it was, I wasn't understanding like why the preschool had was on during summers. Because they don't stop.
Because they preschool, the grind never stopped. Never stops. But, but.
Looking back, it was more of just like a done-up daycare.
Right.
In general or over summer?
In general.
Okay.
Disguise and marketed to me as a preschool.
Got it.
So that's why it started immediately.
Okay.
Okay.
Seeing the teacher's real name here.
Yeah.
I'm going to slip.
I'm going to slip bad.
I love it.
Teacher April.
Teacher April.
So each class in the school had two teachers.
And it was supposed to be me and teacher April.
Okay.
And 25 preschoolers.
So that's going to be, that's a huge class.
So that's going to be 25 kids.
Right.
So I go in on my first day and like I like there was no orientation, nothing like full sending myself into the space.
Okay.
Freshly graduated.
No idea what I'm doing.
Okay.
And I was like, oh, I'm so excited to meet my co-teacher.
Teacher April.
Teacher April.
Yeah.
Big A.
And they were like, the thing about teacher April is she's going to be missing the first two weeks of school, which, as we know, the most critical time.
Duh.
In the school year is the first two weeks.
Always.
So teacher April.
Sorry.
Go.
Say something.
I have a question.
The first two weeks of the summer program are the first two weeks of actual school.
Of the summer program, but that's when they're like school year actually.
That's when the kids would move up classes.
Oh, okay.
So this was a little bit different.
So this is when they would.
Finish out the school year over the summer started a fresh classroom in the fall.
That makes more sense.
Nothing about the schools run in a way that made sense to anyone.
Okay.
So they said teacher April.
Teacher April's going to be on her honeymoon.
And I was like, okay, fine.
Like, wish I had made, like, I wish she was here the first two weeks.
Right.
At the end of the day, that's my wish.
But that's fine.
Like, am I going to get a sub?
No, that's fine.
Perfect.
Okay.
That's illegal.
It's illegal.
Yeah, that's illegal.
So I did have like some like floaters like in and out of the classroom.
But it was mostly just like me getting to know the 25 kids.
That is literally the most illegal thing.
I was 20.
I was 22.
You know.
One.
One with 25.
One to 25 race.
Yeah.
Not a one to 25 race.
That's insane.
And the legality I think was one to 12.
One to 12.
Yeah.
For sure.
I didn't know if it was the same.
Yeah.
In every state.
But that would make sense.
That's what it is for us.
like a body in the room for legal purposes,
but the body could have been Mr. Steve, the janitor.
We had a Mr. Steve janitor.
Yes.
Yeah, so he was looking up with one of the teachers.
You're kidding.
Our mistake lived on the, on the property, which was incredible.
Okay.
Okay, we'll cover that in another episode.
Yeah, totally.
Okay, so first two weeks, teacher April, gone on her honeymoon.
Missing.
So I was asking everyone, what's like, what's her vibe?
Like I'm so, I'm so curious.
You wanted the tea.
And all the other teachers were not giving me like an answer.
And they were like, you know, she's been here a while.
You know, she is set in her ways.
Been here a while.
Strong personality.
And like that was them like.
No, that's the worst response you could have asked for.
That was them like being kind.
Right.
They were trying really hard.
Right.
So I was like, oh.
Oh, so.
Oh, damn.
Yeah.
oh damn oh damn so she comes back i finally meet teacher april and right away i'm like so nice to meet you
been looking forward to meeting you getting to know you how was your wedding didn't get married
stop right up hang on yeah please i have a quick cue please what's the age oh i to this day could
have been 27 could have been 58 oh my god i feel like that's what people say about me no no no no no no no no no you are
29 to the tea.
Okay.
I'm going to take that as a compliment.
It's such a comp.
Thanks.
But anyway, didn't get married?
So, no, she did not get married and was not able to provide any further details on why.
And I want you to put a pin in that piece of information.
Okay.
One more follow up.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Please.
Please.
Was there supposed to be a wedding?
Yes.
So she was leaving for her wedding.
So that wasn't like a lie.
No.
Okay.
Well, not that I know of.
Okay.
But she was supposed to be on her honeymoon.
Wedding and then subsequent honeymoon.
Got it.
Did not get married.
Okay.
Putting a pin.
Okay.
Okay.
Perfect.
Putting a pin in that is information.
Yeah.
And then the first interaction she had with a kid was little Robert sweetheart had
his lunchbox.
We have to change his name.
That was a change name.
Oh my God.
Thank God.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Had his lunchbox on the floor.
Rob.
Which like that's where you're going to put your lunchbox.
You need space to spread out your food.
You're not going to put your lunchbox on the table.
Lunchbox on the floor.
And he got up and stepped on the lunchbox by accident.
Was the food in there?
Nope.
Just stepped on the lunchbox.
Okay.
And teacher April said, did you buy that or did your mom buy that?
Stop.
And Robert said my mom.
And then.
Because Robert doesn't have a steady job.
Right.
Robert doesn't have a steady job and funds.
Right.
And teacher April said, I don't ever want to see you.
treat your belongings like that again.
And if you do, I'm going to tell your mom
how you treated her lunchbox.
I said, okay.
Perf, yes.
Okay.
Yes.
This is exactly what they teach you.
Right.
In the early childhood development programs.
Lunchbox 101.
Lunchbox 101.
I love the,
and then everything that came out of teacher April's mom was,
I'm going to tell mom.
I'm going to tell mom.
Oh, no.
Every single thing.
Teacher April.
So everyone was.
absolutely terrified and she was also really like rough with the kids oh like she'd grab them like she would
grab them yeah yeah yeah grab them off the potty and just oh no really like scary and I didn't know I didn't
we were supposed to be a team so I didn't want to be like you're like being you're really bad teacher by
the way right yeah it's hard to deliver yeah it's hard to deliver so it very much became like okay
we go to teacher brook for everything and we're very scared we're very very scared of teacher
April. You're so lucky they had you. Thank you, Kels. Um, but I don't, and I don't know why that they needed to have
teacher April, but that will become clear. Okay. Soon. And I'm just checking my notes to see what comes next.
I'm so, okay. Bullet point. Kids were scared for their lives. We, we touched on that. Okay. Okay. Next bullet point.
Um, okay. So I started to complain to the other teachers. Oh my God. And I was like, there's something really,
really, really wrong with the situation and with teacher April. And they were like, so,
Yes, this is something that's been going on for five years.
This is her fifth classroom in five years.
And the reason that she's in your classroom now is because it's close to the office.
So they're able to monitor her and keep detailed notes.
Okay.
And I was like, okay.
Great.
That's a good idea to put like the freshly graduated 22 year old with someone that you've been monitoring closely.
Right.
For five years and taking notes on.
Also, don't we think there could have been like enough offenses in the five?
years that she probably could have like gotten written up and fired so that's what I thought especially
because then I started complaining to like the big office right and I was like this is not working
okay okay and they said so what we're going to have you do is we're going to lead you to the teacher
April files no on our computer and so this is where you'll come whenever you have a complaint
when I tell you 45 pages what of just 2018 complaints that I had to contribute to like I was
What did you just type them out?
I had to go like 15 times a day.
I would like go to the office and just like type out the complaints.
So they were like building a case because it's, I guess.
But like how much evidence do you need for a case?
That's what I don't understand.
Okay.
My theory is that they had probably like threatened to fire her before or fired her before.
And she came back like guns ablaze.
Does she have like blackmail on the school?
I don't.
I don't know like why they couldn't fire her.
I think it's like really.
It must be like really hard to fire someone or there's something I'm not understanding.
I feel like that's,
that's tough.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think she had maybe come back and like hit them with a discrimination.
Oh my God.
Okay.
Got it.
Got it.
Got it.
Got it.
Yeah.
Okay.
So then I was contributing to the teacher April file.
Right.
Um, and then finally she did go on her honeymoon, which was like an awesome two weeks of just not having her.
And she told me that she was going.
And wedding.
Wait.
Wedding and honeymoon.
So she ended up having a wedding?
So she ended up getting married, going on the honeymoon.
She told me she was going to Bermuda.
Okay.
I do some Facebook digging.
Duh.
She got married in Atlantic City.
Okay.
Honeymooned in the casino.
Love that for her.
But she did tell me that she was going to Bermuda.
So that's kind of, that was an interesting pattern starting of lying.
Of lying.
Yeah.
Because she came back and I was like, how was Bermude?
Right.
And she was like, it was great.
Yeah.
it was great
then like a few weeks after
Bermuda she came in looking like a little down
I said are you okay and she was like
my husband died in asleep
stop no
no so I was like oh
oh damn like I'm so sorry
wait like the night before
yes like she had woken up and he was no longer
with us and then she just went to work
and told you
yeah very casual
And I was like, I'm really, I'm so scared.
Okay.
I'm really sorry about that.
That probably helped.
So then I look up the obituary because I'm like something is like really like either he's not dead because you wouldn't be behaving this way.
There was no husband.
Like something's going on.
Right.
Turns out there was, he was real.
He did die.
He was on the run and he was actually in jail the first time they were supposed to get married, which is why they couldn't get married.
he had stolen $200,000 of he was like a caretaker and he had moved forward with taking $200,000 of the person he worked for with money.
Oh my God.
And then moved in with teacher April.
Yeah.
And then I think it was like the wedding was more of like I don't like some sort of like get out of jail situation.
I don't know if that's how weddings and marriages work.
Okay.
But I think maybe that's why she wasn't as affected by his untimely passing.
Oh my God
Yeah
So did he die in his sleep?
Yeah I think he did die in his sleep
But I think
I don't know
There was a lot of rumors going around
Like maybe
Like his life of crime
Caught up to him
Did teacher April kill him?
My God
There was a lot happening
Oh my God
Yeah
And so then back to school night
I had to do alone
Because she was at the funeral
For yeah
Of course
I was like this makes sense
Yeah
Yeah, this me doing back to school night alone, of course.
You're busy.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, so then she was like a little bit more agitated than usual.
Oh, no.
After that incident.
Every time I think that it's over, it just gets worse.
So she was a bit more agitated than usual.
Right.
And so one day before circle time, we were lined up outside.
Okay.
Coming in from the playground.
Yeah.
And one of like the sweetest boys, Jack, that's a name change.
Nice.
Jack was doing this thing where he was sipping from his water bottle, spitting the water onto the ground, sucking the water.
Absolutely.
Like, of course.
Sucking the water back up from the concrete.
Zamboni.
Fitting it back out.
And spitting it back out.
Yeah, baby burning the water.
That is sweet.
So instead of kind of just redirecting him to the water bottle, teacher April, like, it didn't, it wasn't like a.
punch in the face.
No.
But like grab, like, grabbed his nose and, like, twisted it.
Oh, my God.
And then he, like, had an immediate bruise.
Immediate bruise.
And this is the first time I was just like, no.
Like, absolutely not.
I picked Jack up.
Jack was crying.
Yeah.
I took Jack up, marched him right into the office.
And I said, Jack, go ahead and tell, you know, everyone.
I was going to tell to, go ahead and tell everyone.
what just happened.
And he very calmly stopped crying and said,
Teacher April clocked me in the face.
Stop.
Yeah, used those exact words.
And so they immediately went out, got teacher April,
brought her into the office.
I kind of, I was moving forward with the rest of circle time.
Jack kept telling everyone,
teacher April clocked me in the face.
Stop.
And I was like, yeah.
Oh my God.
Teacher April came back into the classroom to get her belongings.
One of the kids said, where are you going?
She told them all teacher Brooks trying to get me fired.
Stop it.
Yeah, I was like, okay.
Yes, by the way, yes.
She's right.
And so they were able to get the whole thing on video.
And she was fired.
My.
God.
Yeah, finally.
It's just like, I don't understand why it ever had to come to poor Jack and
clock.
The brunt of the situation.
Yeah.
But she was fired.
And then after that, obviously, no.
No sub.
Why?
Why would you?
But I was like good.
Like I would like to just do this alone at this point.
Right.
And then at one point like months later after I did, you're supposed to like split the parent teacher conferences with your.
Yeah.
With your co teacher.
Split everything with your co teacher.
And I was like and I did all of them like did all the writeups did all the like preschool report cards.
And I was like after doing two people's jobs.
I would like to make more than $21,000.
If at all.
If at all possible, if that works for your schedule.
If you guys could just squeeze in a little bit more than 21K year.
And they said, oh, we wish.
We actually don't do that.
I said, totally.
That's fine.
No problem.
Totally fine.
And then I did.
I made it through the whole year.
Right.
Because I was like, I can't.
Like the kids have had so much turnover.
Right.
They've been getting punched.
They've been getting locked.
Right.
And then I quit.
Okay.
And then I moved on to a great school on.
And that's the end of that story.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
The school, is the school still running?
The school is still running.
It was hell on earth.
That's literally such a horrible place.
Terrible.
Yeah.
But the kids were great.
They always are.
Yeah.
They always are.
And that's why we do it.
So that was my really long-winded teaching story that I've been scared to tell.
And I'm, holy shit.
I think there's a part of me that's scared now.
Teacher April is going to come after.
Okay.
I understand that.
There was a period of time where she made it her life's goal to get me fired.
Right.
And all the parents were like not really on her side.
Yeah.
But she did try.
I feel like we didn't use her real name.
No, didn't.
You don't live there anymore.
Right.
I feel like it's going to be okay.
Yeah.
But that's my first year of teaching.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
Did you have kind of a similar experience?
Literally yes.
the exact same, but the teacher punched me in the face.
Oh, perfect.
But it's fine.
No, I didn't.
Okay.
I didn't.
You probably had some fun moments.
Maybe?
No.
I feel like everybody always asks me, like, what's a funny teacher story?
And I don't, like, have one because it's like every day is just like.
Every day there's something going on.
Yeah.
No, my first year of teaching, I actually was supposed to be an afternoon teacher.
And the teacher, and I refuse to teach the younger children.
And the teacher, because I didn't want to change diapers.
But the teacher in the younger kids room quit on the first day of school.
Yes.
She just walked into my boss's office.
How old were they?
They were two and a half.
And she left the keys and she left.
And then my boss came in and said, you're going to be with the two and a half year olds.
And then so I was.
And I loved it.
But my partner teacher wasn't great.
Yeah.
But I also think that she'd kill me.
Uh-huh.
So I'm not even going to say anything else.
No, you don't have to.
But she doesn't seem as unhinged as teacher April.
Right.
So I feel like if you're not worried, I'm not worried.
Okay, perfect.
Yeah, so that was the story of my first year teaching.
Oh, my God.
Exclusive.
Wow.
You heard it here.
BNK make a pod.
BNK make a pod.
Wow.
Yeah.
And that's it.
And now we can move on to our next segment, which is something that you do in circle time.
Oh, my God.
With your pop culture sticks.
Okay. And so we talk about pop culture some here. Right. And so, but we have a lot of fidgets. Okay. So we have pop culture fiddits. So on each fidget there's a headline. Oh my God. Wait. That's so exciting. And you can pick any fidget that you want. Okay. And maybe we could talk about that's so cute. A headline in pop culture. I love that. Yeah. I love it too. And it's all from your brain. Wow. Which is amazing. Well, I'm excited. Also, thank you.
you so much for sharing your story with us.
I just want to say.
It was a beautiful, well, it wasn't beautiful,
but it was a really good story.
I'm glad I was worried about that story
because there's so many moving parts.
You did it perfectly.
I'm glad.
And I just want to say,
I have not had to take one brain break,
this pod.
It's interesting.
I was so nervous about my anxiety
and you are just like the most,
it's when you remove the boys.
It's when you remove the boys.
You are just the best,
the best girl co-host.
I could ever ask for.
And you're the best girl co-host I could ever ask for.
Thanks, Kels.
Cheers.
Cheers to that.
Cheers to that.
Okay.
Okay.
Fidget time.
Fidget time.
Wow.
Oh my God.
Whoa.
What the hell is this?
That's sensory slug.
I ordered that from Urban Outfitters.com because I thought it was going to be a little, like a little squishy.
It kind of is like a flaccid dick.
I know.
It is.
I'm sorry.
And me and Conner were like playing with them all.
This is one.
There's two.
Oh, do you want me to do one?
Two? Okay. I'll do this pink one. Okay. Are there two? There's okay. You go. So what am I doing? Taking these off? Take those off and go ahead and read that headline. Tick-Tock releases now, which is just be real. Yes. Okay. Very true. Very true. That is the truth. It is the truth. Have you used it? No. And I won't. Will you? No, I would never. Never in a million years. Because this is the thing. Tell me.
on Be Real.
TikTok is too much of like people I don't know that I mutually follow because I think they're funny.
Yeah.
Or I like their content or whatever.
It's the same as like Instagram or whatever.
But I don't actually really know them.
Be Real is like people I genuinely know.
That's such a good point.
And I just don't want.
There's a reason that I'm on there posting.
And there's the reason why I'm not like I don't want it to be random people.
Totally.
Also I just every app becomes.
The other one.
Less special.
Exactly.
Like, YouTube is now also TikTok.
Right.
TikTok is now be real.
Right.
Instagram is TikTok.
It's TikTok.
Like, just pick, I'm using them for one purpose because you stay in your lane, do what you're good at.
Exactly.
I don't mind having multiple apps to use.
In fact, I love it.
I love it too.
But I want them to all be different.
Me too.
Yeah.
Okay.
So we're totally on the same page.
Thank God.
Okay.
Good.
You go.
Okay.

Stream or Dream
Rebels his face
I've seen stuff about this but I don't know
Couldn't tell you a single thing
Okay
We can we don't have to
Oh my god
Saw it on E News actually
And thought
I think we're derailing a little bit
E News from what's important here
And it's not streamers
Sorry talkers as well
I know and listen
I just love
the E-News so much, but it's like, where do we draw the line?
Right.
I thought this is mainstream pop culture.
I know.
It's, the line is blurred at the end of the day.
And I wish the line was firmer.
Same.
But I can't always get what we want.
So congrats to dream.
In conclusion, streamer dream revealed his face.
And we are so happy for him.
Yeah.
That takes courage.
And we wish you the best of luck in this new endeavor with your face being shown to the public.
It's not, it's not easy.
It doesn't get easier.
It does not get easier.
If I were you, I would have.
stuck the mask on and stayed with that.
If I could go back in time, I would mask.
Me too. I would be marshala.
Yeah. Okay, perfect.
Did you have another one on you? I do have another one.
Okay, let's do it.

Okay, please.
Next up.

I did see the Miles Teller Be Real skit.
Thought it was funny.
I thought it was really funny.
Yeah, clever, funny.
Really, really good.
Wrote itself, but they did a great job bringing the nuances to life.
Absolutely.

Couldn't tell you.
Kyle's gone.
Kyle Mooney.
I loved Kyle.
You didn't like Kyle.
I know Kyle.
You're kidding.
He's on my car.
We could talk about it after.
Okay, I'd like to.
Wow.
That's exciting.
Yeah.
I'm really, okay.
Is Beck on my crush list?
Gone?
Oh, he's, he's been gone.
He left over a year ago.
Yeah.
Love him as well.
Yeah.
Good to know.
Kate's gone.
I don't know if I said that already.
I feel as though you did.
Pete's gone.
So it is, I was curious and it wasn't, it was good.
Okay.
It was fine.
Okay.
Yeah.
So was Miles Tower the host?
Yes.
Do you think he's hot?
No, because I've heard
Such bad things
That he's so mean and so hard to work with
That it's like I'm not like not interested at all
If he was like had the best personality in the world
He'd be like oh he's cute, he's so cute
Right
And I'm just like not interested
He was like so bad
As a hoax he's not
No not as a host
In the fucking movie
In Top Gun?
Yeah
I still haven't seen it
I don't want a pathetic character to me
Uh huh
Well I'll see it
and get back to you.
Thanks.
I'll come back on it.
We can come on Circle Time.
Hell, yes.
I would love to.
I love Circle Time.
Okay.
Oh, I wanted to.
Oh, is that?
We didn't get to that one yet.
I didn't talk about Nicole.
Oh, sorry.
Okay.
And I have no idea what happened.
So you're going to have to tell me.
It was just, you know, the Nicole Kidman, AMC ad.
Duh.
It was just Chloe Feynman doing that.
An exaggerated version of that.
Benny drama did that.
Yeah.
Chloe and Benny are in cahoots.
At Cachell.
Why did I say it like that?
Cachella?
Cichella.
Instead of like a grandma.
Yeah, you're right.
Susu?
Yeah.
Cachella.
Yeah.
He did.
He did that at Coachella.
And I, you're so right.
You know what's so funny is that I saw him filming it.
And I'm a huge Benny Drama fan.
And I was with Cody.
And I was like, oh my God, Cody, it's Benning Drama.
And he was like about to do with like a scene.
And we just tapped on his shoulder.
I was like, oh, we're such big fans.
And he was like, thank you so much.
And he turned back around.
He kept filming.
And we were like, that was so embarrassing.
That happened to me with him as well.
It was embarrassing.
Yeah.
But we're big fans.
I know I love him.
I love him.
Yeah.
And I love his boyfriend too.
Same.
He's so handsome.
So handsome.
Both of them.
Stunning.
To die for.
To die for truly.
Yeah.
Okay.
So that was really it in terms of the pop culture.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
We have like a few minutes left.
There were a few more things that I wanted to touch on.
Let's do it.
Let me prioritize.
Okay.
Oh, here's what I was going to ask you.
Okay.
I was listening to Circle Time on the way here.
Okay.
And you were talking about how chilly is kind of going through a phase of just like wanting to be alone.
Yeah.
Not loving, not loving mom, but not being as affectionate.
Yeah.
How's that going?
Because that sounded hard.
It was really hard.
He's kind of turned a leaf.
Uh-huh.
He's kind of back to being my boy.
Okay, good.
He saved his cat.
That's what happens when you turn 21.
You're kidding.
What happened?
There was a bag on the floor.
Cody left at like 5.30 this morning.
To go on a run?
To go swimming.
He has rebranded.
I know.
I love it.
But he went to go swimming this morning and he got up to go on a run and it was like 5.50.
And Chili was barking like a mania.
Uh-huh.
And I was like, what the fuck is going on?
I walked down the stairs and he was like, you know in like the middle, you know where like the two flights of stairs meet like right in the middle?
Yes.
He was like running around just right there, like freaking out.
And I was like, Chile, what the fuck has happened?
like what's going on.
I walked down stairs.
One of the cats had a bag
around her
that we didn't throw away.
And then I,
he ran downstairs with me.
He was a hero.
I know.
He ran downstairs me.
I took it off of her
and he stopped barking.
Oh my God.
That's like when an owner
goes into cardiac arrest
and the dog calls 911 one.
Right.
And sometimes I'm not going to lie.
I have pretended like I've been like really injured.
And I just want to see what Chile does.
Yeah.
He doesn't do anything.
Really?
He loves his sister.
He loves his sister.
Wow.
Yeah.
And so, but he's, he's gotten better.
He's snugly again.
He's turned.
Teens go through phases like that, especially when they're about to be the big two one.
Right.
Were you a cat person before you got your kittens?
I was.
I've always been like a cat person.
Really?
I just, I'm always been like an animal person.
Uh-huh.
I would have like a million different kinds of animals in our house if, if we could.
Wow.
That's really, really sweet.
What else would you get?
Bunny's.
Maybe a chinchilla.
Uh-huh.
What is that exactly?
I don't know.
I saw one to, I follow a bunny rescue on Instagram.
And they were, they had one.
So if you want to see.
Oh, it's like a different kind of bunny.
Look how soft they are.
I just like the thing with bunny.
Well, you can't see how soft they are, but they are soft.
Like you need the, like a full pen, like in your house.
No, but this is the thing.
I met a girl who had a free.
roaming bunny and she was like litter box litter box you would have to train the bunny to do that yeah
yeah I would I want I'm a dog person right but I can't I handle the responsibility of a dog
quite yet I would get a cat I want a cat but I'm so scared I've never had a cat neither had I don't know
how to interact with cats at all right I went to um a cat cafe okay recently yeah in west
Hollywood. In West Hollywood. Yeah, I drove by that day
I was like so lost.
And I accidentally stepped on one of them and I was like, I'm
heading out. I'm going to be honest, the same thing
happened to Cody. I brought him to one of those.
There was like a pop up one in Venice. I brought him.
And he was like, what the fuck?
Get these things away from me. And now
I want them to like me. It's just like
you don't. I think you know.
I think you should come over and play with him and Brisket.
And then you'll see that they're really sweet.
Yeah. And that you can do it. I think they know.
I just like don't know what I'm.
Like I was like scratching its belly.
And then my friend Sarah was like,
they don't like that.
Right.
And I was like,
oh, shoot.
You'll figure it out.
How was I to know?
Yeah.
I feel like you'd be a really good cat mom.
I just,
I want to be a mom.
Me too.
Yeah.
And you are.
Yeah.
The mom of three.
Mom of three.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well,
a few last points.
Yeah.
I wanted to talk about
dating apps and stuff,
but that feels like really long for having a few minutes left.
What are you looking at?
That question is making me giggle.
Would you ever post?
for a national boyfriend.
Oh, I guess that's what I was wondering, too, in conjunction with dating apps and stuff.
Okay.
What do you want to know about dating apps?
I could say yes or no.
Yeah.
It wasn't even like I wanted to know something.
It was I was spiraling a little bit with dating apps this weekend.
Okay.
And I don't even have any questions.
It was just like, why are they so bad?
Right.
Did you ever, were you ever on the apps before code?
I was not.
You weren't.
So you've never had to deal.
But, you know, I feel like I've lived like vicarious.
curiously through my friends who have had to deal.
Yeah.
So I know like a thing or two, but I've never actually personally had to experience it.
Because I don't know if it's me being overly critical or genuinely the people on the app
shouldn't be allowed on the app.
And that's the nicest way that I could possibly phrase that.
Right.
I actually, another reference to your Instagram.
Uh-huh.
I loved the poll that you put out.
Oh, the fuck Mary Kill.
I can read that because I don't know your answer, Kells.
I was a little bit confused in general.
Hopefully bring some clarity.
This weekend, I was, I had my stomach bug, so I was resting, resting and watching movies.
Right.
And so I watched, um, meet the parents.
Okay.
Classic.
With Ben Stiller.
And then I got kind of got myself on a Ben Stiller kick.
Oh.
And then I was like, bottom.
I love him.
Okay.
So watch me the Fokkers.
Duh.
Watch little Fokers.
Watch along came Polly.
Move forward to Zoolander.
Oh my God.
Then kind of went back to Dodgeball.
Okay.
I probably watched about 12. Heartbreak Kid?
Heartbreak kid.
The Watch, which was a new one for me.
Okay.
That was good.
Watch about 45 Ben Stiller movies.
How is little Fawkers, by the way?
Incredible.
Really?
I should do another Focker.
I feel like there's not enough.
Like that would be my dream role.
To be a Focker institution.
Really?
Anything in the Focker universe.
Oh my God.
I just love Ben Stiller.
And so this kind of.
spiraled.
I'm going,
I'm deleting my hinge and making a new hinge.
Okay.
To find a Ben Stiller.
A Ben Stiller that exists in the Los Angeles area.
Because there has to be one.
Totally.
Paid upwards of $50 for various boosts,
boost features to help to help find Ben.
Couldn't find him,
but I did find these three men who left like comments on my pictures.
Right.
And I posted this on Instagram and I was like,
okay,
fuck Mary Kill
Lawrence
who said
even after going
through a global
pandemic
your smile is still
the most
contagious thing
smiley face
all right
I apologize
that was pretty
cheesy
and cringe
LOLoel
sweat emoji
so that was
Lawrence
not seeing any
faults
then
De Raj
said
what's your
favorite
toothpaste brand
okay
adding him
to the equation
okay
and then
Ina said
hey
I'm kind of
attracted
to your shy smile.
Oh my God.
Easy peasy.
So my question was fuck Mary Kill, Lawrence, Deraj, Enar.
And I will say a lot of girls responded saying that they have both received the same
DMs from DRAGE re-toothpaste.
Okay.
And Lawrence re, even after going through a global pandemic, your smile is in this.
No.
Yeah.
So that could factor into your decision.
Well, if I didn't know that, I would have said Mary Lawrence.
Okay.
He's even after a global pandemic.
Yeah.
Your smile?
Yeah.
Most contagious thing, by the way.
Fuck, Inar.
Hey, I'm kind of attracted to your shy smile.
Kind, just kind of, though.
Because he's also shy.
He's shy.
And then.
He's using the, who's the last one?
That's going to be Dyraj.
Yeah, unfortunately, Deraj.
Our very own Cheyenne.
Our editor is a victim of Deraj.
Really?
She was able to let me know that.
So maybe, maybe if someone would just respond, he would stop asking.
people their favorite toothpaste brand.
That is beautiful approach.
Never even took a second
to consider his POV.
Right. He's desperate. He's just trying to brush
his teeth. Okay, you know what?
Changed my mind. Marrying DeRaj.
I'm going to still fuck
Enar. I don't even really like
to say that. Sounds like,
I thought it sounds illegal.
I think
just, I think I need to marry him.
He seems like the only one I could spend the rest
of my life with.
One, because he's not saying that to everyone.
Right.
Well, at least as far as we know.
It's the most personalized because I do have a shy smile.
Let's see.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
You know the picture.
It's me on the beach and I'm just like, so good.
Yeah.
That's like the picture I use on dating apps.
And that's a shy smile.
So he was being like authentic to personal.
Yeah.
Lawrence, I think, kill.
He's got to go.
I actually totally agree.
Kill and then fuck Deraj.
Yeah.
After you tell him the two-faced.
So I think that's...
I actually totally.
I'm on board.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'll be your maid of honor.
I would love that.
Yeah.
I'd be happy too.
Maybe he could be my plus one for...
For my wedding.
The co.
Creple wedding.
Interesting.
Yeah.
I'll let you know if it...
Yeah.
Let me know how it keeps going.
Yeah.
Okay.

I'm not giving any of you.

I'm so excited.
Yeah.
I'm like genuinely so.
Because you're so.
So excited.
Like that trend, or not trend, but like it's a filter, I think on TikTok where it's like it plays the first few bars.
I've never done that one.
Okay.
I've done the one where it plays or where it says like the lyrics.
It writes out the lyrics and you have to guess what comes next or something.
I've seen that one and there's also one that like plays like the first few notes really quickly.
Oh, that I'm good at.
And I told me in that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think we'll play that as well.
Kind of nervous that I'm going to fuck it up though.
