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. And I want to tell everybody here, I want to give you this little piece of voice, switch it up. Come on, y'all, switch it up. Totally.

Good advice. And let me give an example of switching up. So his challenge to us was like, switch up your day-to-day routine. Because when you switch up something that is maybe a little just like built into your day-to-day, like maybe you have a cup of coffee every day, have a cup of tea. Switch it up because what happens when you do things like that, when you change like this. like built-in robotic day-to-day thing that you do, you have a cup of tea. Your neurons start to fire.

You're going to have thoughts that you wouldn't have had if you just have your cup of coffee in the morning. You have a cup of tea instead of your coffee. You go, ooh, this is British. Oh, the queen died. Who else is old? My grandma. I should call my grandma.

Boom, you're in the will. Wow. That could change your... You see what I mean? I'm going to change the way I walk to the coffee shop or wherever this one. I'm commuting to work. I'm going to go a different way.

Ooh, I'm seeing some graffiti. Maybe I should get back into painting. I go to the... the art store. I'm at Michaels. I am talking to the cashier. She ends up being the love of my life. She invites me to Christmas dinner. I steal something from her house. The hairs on my arm are standing up. I think we're rolling. Hey. I'm so happy. I'm genuinely so happy to be here. Me too. Really? Yeah. Okay. Okay. Awesome. Yeah. So awesome. Brooke, welcome back. And when I say this, I mean, full Brooke in your fullest form.

And welcome back. You mean at maximum mental capacity today? Yes. Yes. We are back and better than ever today. Yeah. Yeah. Really quickly before we dive into anything else, how about you tell us something? I'll tell you something.

First thing is first, we're doing bonus episodes this week, so we're staying after this episode. It's really special. We spend a lot of time on it. And we're calling this our, we're calling it close friends. Because it's like our close friends story. As a homage to the close friends stories on Instagram. We got a little green circle bonus content coming out. It's an extra hour of this podcast every week.

And we'll talk more about what to expect on the actual bonus episode. But it's happening and you have the opportunity to tune into that today. So we hope you do. We got fun stuff planned. If you want to go, watch, it's on TMG Studios.tv. Sign it for the Brook and Connor tier. You'll get our main episodes, ad free, and then you'll get bonus content, which is the extra hour that I mentioned.

from us. Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. And I think even before we even get started, but you smashed me. You absolutely. Smashed you?

Yeah. In what capacity? You wrecked my ass on fantasy this year. Oh, yes. Yes, I did. I came out on top. Very exciting. I did.

Go ahead. That's it. I got Wi-Fi on the plane yesterday and I was just refreshing sleeper, which I never thought was a sentence I would ever say in my life. Yeah, I creamed you. and you said I barely beat you

No I beat you a lot by the way You beat me a lot or do you think that No I beat you a lot Did you outsource it all for any No I didn't Because that wouldn't be morally Right That wouldn't be okay to do

And well even if I did ask someone else for help That's not that actually would be fine Okay I actually feel like that would be fine Because I think the real meat Of the fantasy football is in your draft And I drafted with intention and it's those players that I drafted

that are taking me to the finish line. For example, DeAndre Swift is my MVP. And you know why I drafted him? In honor of Taylor Swift. So it's like that's the kind of thing where it's like that's all me and that's why I'm going to win. And that's why I beat you.

And you don't need to be a sore loser about it. Hey, you did really good. Thank you. For a girl. Yeah, I did for a girl changing that connotation to draw what's the opposite of drogatory positive positive positive connotation i did good for a girl yeah um so there we are we have a visual on on youtube here of brook um i don't actually understand this reference but i think it's funny oh me neither and i

didn't i don't i didn't expect to oh it's you spitting on me via via harry styles body oh oh i did not i didn't make that connection but that's a great that's a great image thank you Okay, cool. Thank you for making that. Yeah, I love that. Yeah, so congrats on the win this week. Thank you. You're kind of up there in the draft just in general?

I think I'm like probably in fourth or third. I'm in second to last. I think, I mean, it's just like, it doesn't matter because at the end of the day, Wally, it's going to lose and that it is what it is. Yeah. Okay. Well, we're back. It feels like it's been seven years since the last time I was sitting next to you,

partly because I feel like I've lived a year in the past week. Do you want to break your silence? Well, the silence about what I did last week or another piece of why it feels so long. Do you want to know what I did this past week that made it feel like the year? Or do you want to know what about last episode?

I think we talked about last episode. For the sake of transparency. I think we pride ourselves on transparency here. So I think we start owning things. Yeah. Even though like that rocked. Got a lot of views. No, totally.

Yeah, last episode I was like full mid, like, I would call it a nervous breakdown. Yeah. To be fully transparent. And I thought I was getting better because I was talking about how I was PMSing really bad and just fully mental spiraling. And then once I started talking about the mental spiral on the podcast, it started to physically manifest. Yeah. It started to more so morph into full panic attack sitting in this chair. Yeah.

And so then I stopped responding to you, which is hard. for a podcast because you were kind of talking alone and I was sitting here. Yeah. Yeah. And then when I said, can we take a break? And we came back and you said there was a gas leak. There actually wasn't a gas leak.

I had a panic attack. I don't think that came across the way that we wanted it to. Everyone was like, oh my God, there was a gas leak. No. I don't know why I just didn't say like, oh, yeah, I had a full panic attack. But when you made your panic attack known, I think through osmosis, it kind of made its way into my body.

Yeah. You also then move forward with a panic attack during the second half of the episode. So you kind of passed a baton to me in this relay race that in this crazy race we call life. Yes. And podcast streaming. And I took that from you. And then the panic attack did continue for the two days after the podcast release. And then it was like, didn't even show up on the.

It's so like I left that podcast and I was like, I am moving to a farm. I'm throwing my computers and phones into. the toilet. I don't ever want to be on the internet again. And literally when it posted, everyone was just so, so kind and supportive and it was so overwhelming. And that's why I love this little community we call BNC. MAP. MAP. And so that was really sweet. And I think moving forward, the next time, if there's a next time, either of us feel like we're going to, you can say when, unfortunately. When? The next time we have a panic attack on that we just need to be really open about that that's what's happening.

Let's make up a safe word. Let's have a safe word for panic attack. Usually this is used in sex. Oh, okay. So what's our safe word? Pineapple Express. Okay. That works for me.

Great movie, Seth Rogen. I actually have not seen that movie and I love Seth. That's interesting. Yeah. I think you should watch it. Okay, perfect. Yeah, I think it's up your alley. Okay.

So, yes. Had a panic attack last week. And you know what? I would love to normalize. taking breaks. Because I was feeling really like, I think what spurred that panic attack on the most, it was like, oh my God, I'm going to have to ask to take a break

and that's the end of the world. No, not the end of the world. Normalized just asking to take a break in everyday life. Saying I need a minute, in any circumstance, totally acceptable. Yeah. And we don't really talk about that. So normalize taking breaks. What's another situation that we could normalize taking breaks in?

Dates? I would like in love on the spectrum. They literally say like, and that's one of the reasons I just like don't like dating. it's because it's like I would want to break and that would feel weird to do so I'm just going to avoid it all together no go on the date and if you need to ask for a break 45 times

ask for a break 45 times God knows I'll be doing that in the future after that experience yeah yeah dates you can take a break job interview excuse me I need a minute I need to look at my notes totally totally fine

in fact it's bold and your future boss will be like I like that I wouldn't listen to me for sure. Yeah. But it's possible, you know? You don't know until you try.

You don't know until you try. So I'd recommend trying. It's worked for me taking breaks. Yeah. So expect more breaks. Mm-hmm. Expect more breaks. Well, good.

I'm glad we got, we aired that out. Yeah. We let it be known. Remember Pineapple Express if that's to happen. Okay. And I'm feeling so much better, by the way.

Yeah. Are you? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, so much better. Yes. That's all I have to say on the matter. On the matter.

Yeah. I think glad it happened because you learn from those experiences. Don't be sad that it's over, smile that it happened. And now I'm going to move forward today with a different kind of energy. Yeah, a different mindset. So important to be intentional with everything that we do. So intentionally recognizing that space and then where we are now. Right.

It's fun to look back. Totally. So, oh, sorry. So your weekend. So you got back, what, yesterday? Yeah, so that was one of the reasons that's felt like a year since I've been here because such a different mindset than last time. But another reason is I just lived so much life. Yeah.

Since I was sitting here last. I went to New York. Right. This weekend to go to, and it actually wasn't a premiere. I'm not allowed to say premiere. I went to the flagship event of Don't worry, darling in New York City. Put on by Warner Brothers. Hatterson.

Hatternobrather. Hatter. Hatter. Hatter. At Warner Brothers at Don't worry, darling. Yeah. So on the screen, that's my Be Real. and I could try to explain it to you.

Basically, what's happening is I'm in my frame. And the other frame is me sitting a few inches from Nick Kroll, Harry Seiles, Olivia Wilde, and the rest of the cast. Yeah. Which was really an incredibly remarkable, remarkable experience for me. Sure. Surely to be in that room. To be in, I never thought I would be, if you had asked me a year ago, do you think it's a possibility you'll be inches away from Harry Seals and Nick

at the same time and you would have been asked to be in that room, I would have said, no. So that is really awesome that I got to be there. I've been in a room with Nick Crowell before because I've gone to his stand-up. Sure, yeah. I've got- So it's like I understand that he's, I've understood

that he's a human and it made sense to me that he was sitting there. Sure. But seeing Harry so close and I've been to his concerts, that's definitely less intimate than a stand-up show. Like seeing him there to understand that he's a human is a very off-putting experience. Like, there's no way. It's just like,

I get that. So weird to come face to face with Harry Styles as a human instead of Harry Styles as in God mode. Did it affect, yeah, the way that you imagine it? I think I feel more strongly towards him. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah, because it's like God mode in real life is beyond.

Like, God mode's so close to you. So, so was he at the after party and stuff? So, yeah. They had the premiere. They had a panel. Was this your first time seeing the movie? This was my first time. Yeah, I had been invited to a few screenings before,

but I wanted to save myself for this flagship event. So what happened before the flagship event was they came out. There was supposed to be a red carpet, but it got rained out. And that it was explained to me that I would get a chance to say hello to Harry and Nick on that red carpet. But that got rained out, which is looking back probably for the best. And then we sat in the movie theater, and then they all came out to do a panel. For those wondering, Harry and Olivia were on opposite sides completely. I'm looking at that.

I'm looking at that. So Olivia's like behind that guy's head on the right side and Harry's all the way at the, on the left. So that's like as far apart as you could sit on stage from each other? Right. But then they went to the after party together. So that's interesting. And then I think they're still together. They went together in the same car, walked in together.

I have no idea. I am really briefly, I'm going to skip over the movie piece and we're going to. going to come back to the movie piece and go right to the after party, which Nick and Harry and everyone, they both attended. I didn't even try to go near Harry because it was just like crowd, like not. Was it nonstop? He's sitting there talking to people nonstop. I couldn't even see him, really, because it was just like a crowd and I'm too short.

I saw Davis. Oh, yeah. Davis had posted a story on his Instagram zooming in on Harry and Olivia. Yeah. They were just like at the bar. They were just there. But there wasn't. I was kind of focused on Nick a little.

bit. Right. I... A more attainable target. Mm-hmm. At least that, so I thought, I stood next to Nick for about three hours trying to work up the carriage to say something. And I didn't. Yeah. So about an hour two, I started getting really, like, in my head and depressed of like, why can't I say something? I think I had psyched myself out so much. And then I just sat there in silence for the remaining hour of the after party. And then girls from the listen to our podcast came up to me and were like, hi girls. Hi, Hi girls. They were like, you have to say hi. Like, this is ridiculous.

And then I was like, I can. I'm so sorry. And then they went up and said hi and he was so kind. And I'm watching this whole thing. Took a picture with them. They were like, we love you. And he was like, love you too. They left. They said, go ahead.

I said, give me a minute. And I never did. You know what I think, though, about stuff like this? I've had so many times where like I've met someone or DM'd someone such as a fan and then like end up being in the room as not up here. but like, you know, been invited to something like this and then been like,

I wish I just played it. It's so cool. So you're, that, uh-huh. It's, it's in your, it worked in your favor because now when,

manifestation space, you're in a room with him because of an opportunity. Job-wise, he won't be like, oh, you're that crazy bitch from that after party. I think a part of it was that

of like not wanting to exhibit fan behavior. Yeah. Because God knows what would have come out of my mouth. We've seen it before. Goobler. And the other part was like never meet your idols. And I was really, I'm scared with him because he's just like so high up there of like hero status as opposed to just like Matthew Grubler.

It's like I like you are like so cute. To me it's more so like, oh, I really like love your work with Nick. So yeah, did not say anything to anybody in the cast. So that's that. And I do want to circle back onto just the movie as a whole if that's okay. I cannot wait for you to see this movie, Connor. So I should see it. It was so good.

I don't understand why the ratings are so bad. 34% on Rot Tomatoes, by the way. So good. It was so good. And I don't want to tell anybody. No spoilers, obviously, that goes without saying. And I think I don't even want to give you like any basic plot points because I went in knowing nothing and I think that's the best way to go in.

But I'll say two things. Okay. Here are the two things that I'll say about don't worry, darling. One, I think Harry Styles acting was incredible. Interesting. because I keep seeing TikTok with people laughing every time he comes on the screen.

I mean, Florence obviously was like the star acting wise but I think Harry was on par with everybody else. So like really like if he won an Oscar I'd be like okay that makes sense.

Really? Yeah, I mean I'm not a movie buff and I don't really like have a good grasp on that kind of stuff but I thought he was incredible. Two and we know this from the trailers

and this is not a spoiler. We know that basically something is going on in the movie in Florence is trying to figure out like what's what's going on there's something fishy happening here what's going on what's going on and to that I just want to say the biggest pothole of the movie is why are you even why bother asking you are living this life with Harry styles married in love he's in love with you you're kissing and doing other stuff as well don't ask any questions just just in just in joy. The movie could have been over in five seconds if I were her. I would not have dared to ask. You've raised a great point. That's a good plot hole. Yeah. Huge plot hole.

In this I mean in this world he's not Harry Stiles though he's Jack Chambers. In why you are living with Jack Chambers. Why question? Well do you think like maybe you like Harry Styles because he's super super globally famous and like a top star? No. No. Good

question. No. I love Jack Chambers just as much. I would have been just as in love with Jack Chambers. I like Have you have a super hard time believing that? No, I'm dead serious. If I was in that home with him and something clearly very suspicious and very questionable, morally questionable is going on, not asking a goddamn thing. Harry Stiles looks like everyone that lives in West Hollywood that gets here from the Midwest to pursue a YouTube career. At the end of the day, he just doesn't.

At the end of the day, he is objectively like gorge model God status. Okay. Yeah. So, no, I wouldn't have been asking any. questions and if I were you did you did you also raised a really good point did I saying that I hate is question everything no no one has time just accept everything I would have just as it is surrendered yeah loved my life movie would have been over in two seconds if I was Florence yeah you should we should remake it I would like to if given the opportunity alternate ending alternate ending it's a four-minute

movie of just me and Harry um what cool so you it was an all overall sorry overall overall good experience. Do I wish that I had said something to Nick? You're going to should have could have wooded this to death and it's going to kill you for the rest of your life.

So just know that you came out on top and you didn't do anything regrettable. You don't have any scaries knowing that like you didn't do anything. I didn't have any scaries. I didn't lose but I didn't win at the end of the day. To me that's fine.

Okay. I don't know how I feel about it. So I'm just hopeful that I'll get another opportunity. I think you did win because you got flown out, you got flued out and put up in a hotel. I just meant in that specific circumstances. Yeah, overall great weekend. Cannot wait for everyone to see that movie.

And I can't wait for you to see it especially. So it kind of seemed, whoa, I almost forgot that I have to put the mic into my mouth. Yeah, totally. Okay, so I have a question. It kind of looked like you were really enjoying New York? Yeah, I was. Which is shocking because I don't like New York. Do you still totally not like New York?

You're kind of outsp-you've been. been outspoken about hating New York. I did have, I would say a week ago I would have said I don't even want to go visit New York. Now I'm comfortable saying I'm fine visiting New York, but not for more than a few days. So I can't do more than a few days, but now I wouldn't actively say I hate New York now. But I don't want to live there by any means. Adding that one. To what?

I have a list on my phone called the Hill Brook Lives On. How long have you had this list? Like almost since, I mean, probably like six months into knowing you. Because you have all these hills that you would have previously died on. Right. And now you're kind of settling down and building your life upon all of these things that you used to hate. So now it's the hill that you live on. No.

And those things include country music. I never said I hated country music. I never said I hated all country music. I probably said I hated most country music. That's enough. Curb your enthusiasm. Right, that's an embarrassing one. That is tough.

That is a tough look for me. Tomatoes? Yeah. Well, yeah. I just wouldn't. Here's the thing about tomatoes. I used to tell people I don't like them. And then they would say, oh, is it in this, it's in the sandwich.

Is that okay? And I would say, oh, yeah, it's fine if it's in a sandwich. And then they would say, like, oh, or there would be like a caprize salad. or something and they'd be like oh brooke won't eat that because it's just like sole ingredient is basically just like tomatoes and I'm like no I love caprazi salads so basically what I meant by that is I just don't want to like plain tomato and I still stand by that but I guess I can't say I don't like tomatoes anymore because I eat them and everything okay okay Nathan for you that's a tough one that's a tough one yeah that's a tough one

yeah that's a tough one to look past weed yeah yeah and I've just added New York City as kind of a flex player on this list. Totally flag. But you do you are kind of building a home on this hill. Okay, normalize changing your mind. I'm not saying that. Yeah, I'm totally open to changing my mind at all times. Right, but initially when I was like, oh, I'm going to put on curb your enthusiasm

and you would leave the room and shut your door. Right, I think. That doesn't really seem like an open-minded thing to do, but I don't know. Right. I hear what you're saying. It's just like the fact that I take such a strong stance that then when I changed my mind it is a little jarring. Jarring. Totally, totally, totally. Okay, cool. Yeah. Well, glad to hear it went well. You're back and then you flew back and you were sitting. Oh, that was crazy. Yeah.

I was sitting directly behind Kristen Wigg on the flight home. Obviously didn't say anything. Didn't want to bother her. Come on. No, I think in those situations it's like, I don't say. On the plane. Yeah. Like, she just wants to lay and rest and that's fine. But at the end, when we landed, this man, like a few rows behind me. came up to her and was like, I'm so sorry, do I know you? I know you from something. And she was like,

I don't know. Because it's like, what do you say in that instance? Stove. Are you an appliance? Breadsmaids reference. Oh, God, sorry. And then he was like, are you an actor? And she was like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And she was like, he was like, Cynthia Nixon. Cynthia Nixon. And she was like, oh, no, I'm not Cynthia. And he was like, well, what? I must have seen you in something. Like, or maybe we went to high school. How old was this person? This was literally the most painful interaction of my life.

My head was in between my legs, like hands against my ears. It was so painful. He was probably like 60. And then she was like, well, I've been in like, and she like gave like a kind of more obscure movies that she'd been in like Barb and Star. Love that. Yeah. And then she was like, well, and I was in SNL.

And he's like, oh my God. I'm your biggest face. hand. And it was just like, and she, and she was like, thank you so much. And she was so sweet. But it was truly like the most painful interaction that I've ever seen. Oh, God. That hurts is what I said.

Yeah. It's okay. It was pretty painful to watch that. Yeah. Unfold. And she was so nice to him. And then as we were getting off the plane, she turned around. It was like, it was really nice meeting you and just so, so nice to him.

But I know. Just like always great when you see that kind of, like just like a celebrity you love. We're like ticking off the S&L, the OG SNL, Chikas. Did I tell you about my Kevin Hart's story on the plane? Yeah, but retell it, because that's so good. So I was coming back from New York also, but I was going to Houston, and I was with two of my friends and we're sitting in, like, the back of the plane, like, by the restroom.

And we had just figured out, this was, like, senior year of high school and our junior, junior senior year, whatever. And we're sitting there, and we're kind of punchy, you know, like we woke up at, It was like a 6 a.m. flight and no one went to sleep and we're just like cracking up. Because I figured out how to use Photoshop. Not even Photoshop. Like how to use the healing tool. Right.

On like eye photos on the laptop. And I was editing off, not that I have that much, but I was editing off everybody's eyebrows in like group photos. I was like peeing my pants laughing, like stomping on the ground. And we thought, I don't know why we thought it was like the funniest thing in the world. And then we go to get off the plane. And this little man stands up in front of me. It's Kevin Hart. Uh-huh.

And I was like, oh my God. Kevin. Can I get a photo? And he was like, dude, absolutely not. You and your friends are the most obnoxious people on the planet. And I go, yes. Yep. Totally.

Enjoy the rest of the day. Do you need help getting your suitcase down? I agree with Kevin in the sense, like, I don't think anybody should be allowed to talk to each other on a plane. Oh, yeah. No, me too. Even if you came, like, even if it's your wife, like, no. No. Like, save it.

Save it for when we land or communicate via notes app. Like, no one should be able to open their mouth unless you're screaming baby, which, like, ideally you wouldn't be on the plane at all. Yeah. Yeah. And that's just how I feel. So, team Kevin. Team Kevin all the way. And your team Kevin.

I'm on his side for that. Like, I literally was like, wow. When he said that, I was like, yep, we are super annoying. Yeah. I get that. Anyways, welcome home. Thank you for having me. Yeah.

I missed L.A. You know what they say? What? The best thing in the world is leaving L.A. And the best thing in the world is coming back to L.A. And I agree with that. Yeah. Do you agree?

I love leaving. I don't necessarily like love coming back. Okay. Perfect. Shoot, I was going to tell you something else. And now I can't remember it. I was going to tell you something. Okay. This would have been really good when we were talking about just like PMSing and the

plight of womanhood. But it's okay. We can always circle back. That's always relevant. It's always relevant. I was just thinking how it sucks that you'll never be able to experience like PMSing and just the plight of womanhood in general. And then I thought of like a little something you could try to experience just like

Oh, I can't wait to try this. Women go through. Okay. At don't worry darling during everything where I was applying my lip gloss. And I was like, damn, I wish Connor was here because I wish he could apply this. Because it's the two-faced lip injection, which is something that most women have used in their lives or some form. No, it's a lip gloss and it makes

your lips look bigger, which is like why do we even want that? One, and two, it hurts. Like, why are we putting ourselves through this? You said two-phase lip ingestion and I go, were you like shooting up at the after party? What do you mean? That is what it's called because it hurts.

Well, give me it. Put it on me. So I want you to want me to put it on you or you're going to put it on. I'm going to lather it onto the lather me up. Gorgeous lips of yours and you can just experience. like what women put themselves through. It's really warm. Where is this?

Oh, in my pocket. Okay, now kind of rub together. No, I'm adding another coat. Okay, come on. You just doing bottom lip? I'm doing bottom top mustache as well. Okay, perfect. So now I want...

You were really generous with where you think my white person lips are. Well, I want you to walk me through the experience of what you're feeling during the two-face lip injection process. Right now I'm feeling... Sopping wet. Yeah. It takes a minute to feel something. Yeah.

But just know, this is something that just like women put themselves through for what? For what? For what? I don't know. Yeah. So perfect. I wanted you to be able to experience that. Yeah, no.

Well, while I'm waiting, I guess, for it to kick it. Yeah. I'll tell you. You look good. Thanks. Over the weekend, I... Yeah, how was your weekend? Sorry, I'm being rude.

No. No. I've been having back issues. Totally. Like really bad. Totally. I'm actually going to go to. this like eastern

Eastern or Western medicine Which everyone is good Mm-hmm We are Western Like of what? We live on a sphere I don't get what we're west of

We're west of everyone's west And east of everyone else I think if you just look at the flat Flat map That's not a sphere Okay Columbus We are a sphere But just like the image of the map

Who chose that? I actually have no idea That does not make any sense to me Anyways the healthy one Like no pills not big farm type person. Like vitamin, more so like health.

Uh-huh. So that's Eastern. Guru. That's more like Asian. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. East, yes.

Yes. Okay, so I'm going to go to one of those. Yeah. So I was putting icy. It wasn't icy hot, but it was like something more intense. And I forgot. And I had at some point touched my balls.

Both of them. Both. And that was something that I think was pretty close to lip and rejection two-faced worse or better than when you washed your ball region as well as ass region with your tea tree face wash you forgot my taint as well sorry sorry i just when i um well that was like it was implied that was like a longer process because that broke out in hives right um but this was like like so painful and then i when i when you try to wash it off it doesn't come off for some reason totally I was like, no, no, no, no. You just have to wait it out.

It was very bad. Is this why you canceled our meeting? No, no. No. No. Because of the icy hot. No. How are your lips, by the way?

They're feeling warm. They feel warm? Do they feel warm? Yeah. Not painful in any way yet. They look bigger, by the way. Do they? Yeah.

No. Okay. Keep me updated. Thanks, I will. And that's it, really. Can I? It is actually burning Like not my actual lip

Like my like my top Like your mustache area You're mustache area It's because I shaved yesterday Oh okay well you feel free to wipe that It's kind of burning Uh huh Feel free to wipe that part off

No but not the lip not the lip I'm not going above it Okay And blow it Okay Blotting Yeah Did I get it?

Yeah for the most part Oh it's so greasy Yeah Okay Yeah that looks good It is like An experience like for me like POV your podcasting with Connor with lip gloss on it is an

it is like an experience would recommend to anyone listening to take a picture tune in to oh yeah oh damn I wish might be real was going off um hold I'm really quickly taking a picture of Connor in this look at me really really really cute okay okay um any who dad um crap I have something that is like so important and I can't remember what I did Well, check the note app. Is it on the no tap? No, it's on the notes app.

Let's just, let's move on. Okay. We got a bunch of stuff to cover today. It's honestly like a lot of, uh, pop culture. We have a lot of pop culture things, and we also have a lot of just stuff that we wrote in our shared notes app. Our brains were working. Yeah, our brains were working. Anything.

Eh, I'll wait for that one. Wait, sorry. Can we scroll back up for a second? I'll do this one. Okay, so, because I don't really have a weekend update. I didn't do anything. I'm moving again, so I'm just like packing and cleaning. Do you know where you're going?

Nope. Okay, perfect. Ooh, yeah, my lips are feeling very, like, immobile. Right. Like, they're not really... Numb. Numb, I think numb is the word you're looking for. Numb, but with a lot of burning feeling. Numb, but totally feeling. Yeah, yeah. Numb but it feels like someone is, like, has a blow dryer, like, really close to them.

Yeah. So I have... So I had this professor in college, and I hated him. Okay. Like, worst professor I've ever had. But the only thing I remember from his class, was he gave us this one, this one challenge,

which just shows you that I have a bullshit degree. Is that like one of our weeks was a challenge? And it was to just switch it up in like whatever. He said something along the lines of just like switch up your day to day. Oh yeah. You told me this one, I think. Yeah, it's fascinating. So I've been doing that.

I like have been on my whole dirty shit. I have nailed it, by the way. That's exciting. I did everything this weekend. I would normally do, but I didn't like drink at all. And I like... Can you walk me through like what is a day of eating look like on your whole 30? It's like weird.

It's actually not as like debilitating as you think it'd be. It's like I have my smoothie every morning and then I had to stop drinking coffee and then I got back on coffee. Yeah. But I'm only having one cup a day. Okay. Instead of six. Can you not do coffee on Whole 30? It's like depends on what list you look at.

Round upon. It's brown upon by the Whole Dirty community. But, um... I don't know. There's like a bunch of random stuff, but it's a lot of, you have to cut out wheat. You have to cut out, like obviously dairy. I don't eat dairy, but blah, blah. Anyways, nailed it, been doing it. It's been, they 12. Awesome. Wow. Wow. 11. Yeah. But I'm like, I might as well just like do other healthy stuff too because have nothing else to do. And I remember this professor's advice to switch it up. And I want to tell everybody here, I want to give you this little piece of advice, switch it up. come on y'all switch it up totally good advice let me let me give an example of switching up so

his his his challenge to us was like switch up your day-to-day routine because when you switch up something that is maybe a little just like built into your day-to-day like maybe you have a cup of coffee every day have a cup of tea switch it up because what happens when you do things like that when you when you change like this like built-in robotic day-to-day thing that you do You have a cup of tea. Your neurons start to fire. You're going to have thoughts that you wouldn't have had if you just have your cup of coffee in the morning.

You have a cup of tea instead of your coffee. You go, ooh, this is British. Oh, the queen died. Who else is old? My grandma. I should call my grandma. Boom, you're in the will. Wow.

That could change your, you see what I mean? I'm going to change the way I walk to the coffee shop or wherever this one. I'm commuting to work. I'm going to go a different way. Ooh, I'm seeing some graffiti. Maybe I should get back into painting. I go to the art store. I'm at Michaels.

I am talking to the cashier. She ends up being the love of my life. She invites me to Christmas dinner. I steal something from her house. The hairs on my arm are standing up. Yeah. This is the best. And this is the professor you hated?

Yeah. Yeah. And I'll tell you why. How could you hate someone with this brilliant of a mind? Because he was an utter douchebag. Oh, that'll do it. He was just like the coolest dude. The eye he was.

Oh, is he like young professor? Yeah. Oh. Just one of those that like. Those good can go either way. I know. And like it was kind of like one of those. It's like if you're not on his good side, you're on his bad side.

Right. and his bad side. And I'm not going to ride your dick, dude. You are my professor and I paid a lot of money to be here. Be a teacher, you know? And it's so weird how, like, professors are always like, I am God to you. And I can make or break your life. Right.

This is intro to creativity. Take a seat, sir. And one of our grades, our biggest thing in the class was we had a journal, basically, where we did entries every day. And so due by the end of the semester was 99, like, creative ideas and mine was really good I can't even imagine what your journal I was really proud of it um I think my mom has it yeah we've got to get our hands yeah I'll go get it well I'll be in Texas in like a week and a half so I'll grab it I'll come back but um it was interesting I still remember some of my entries again it was just kind of like random stuff it's just like app ideas or campaign ideas

or create like a poem or something um and it was interesting but I got an 81 so like a B-1 minus and I remember being like, how are you grading my ideas? Circling back to the poem? Yeah. Can you give any more words about your poem? I actually have one that I wrote and I, okay, I'm going to have to remember it. You know the blood is thicker than water? The saying?

Yeah. Wait, is that what it is? Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so I had one in my notebook. I was like, blood is thicker, coffee's quicker, beer is the most fun. And I like for each one I wrote it in like I spilled like blood. It wasn't real blood, but I like spilled blood on the first line.

And then I did coffee on this like a coffee. Oh so that's like more of a piece. A ring of coffee on the second line. And then I spilled beer like all over the like the third line. Wow. Yeah, it was pretty cool. You should get that frame and sell it as a fibs print. No one.

It was something that yeah. It was like something that I thought of. And then like what's weird is like how I started writing my like bits for TikTok. Wow. It's like you remember when we did. All your bits are really poems when they come down anyway. They are. Whoa.

Yeah. They're going to be so valuable when I pass. They, you should make a book of poetry. Yeah. Seriously. That's your next. Oh my gosh. Yeah.

I genuinely believe that. Okay. I'm going to do that. Remember that one bit we did with the broccoli? Yeah. So when we did that bit, Brooke and I did this bit and we just call it broccoli now. But we basically, she came into town to visit when she was in Philadelphia for like a week. Mm-hmm.

And she had like Gartia or something. I had like that was like literally the most in stain stomach virus of my life. I'm like, that was the worst experience. I'm like, we never talk about that. I'm like so bad when people are sick because I just. Well, you were like, do you want a beer? And I was just, no, Connor, I want to go to the fucking hospital. I think it's like when I'm sick, I won't, I'll keep it to myself.

Like it's like, because I'm just like in a power through. Like when I had mono, I didn't go to the doctor for a month. And I had mono and I was like, you were so stupid. wake up, wake up, mono for a month going to work every day. I just remember. People were dropping like flies. I'm like, you guys are pussies. I'm like giving everyone mono.

Well, I was like throwing up at your house and you were like knock on the door and you're like, you want to film something? No. Anyways, I got her to film something. It went mega viral. I think it has like 12 million views now. But basically I had, I didn't have any ideas. And I was like, come on.

This is like such a waste if we don't get some content out of this. And so I was like, all I have right now is passive aggressive and have. Now if you take out the passive piece, it's actually just an act of aggression. And so I was like, how do we make this work? Brooke had put the peanut butter in the fridge or something. And I was like, why the fuck do you put the peanut butter in the fridge? And she was like, you're being passive aggressive. I was like, okay, how about I drop the passive and I amp up the aggressive?

Anyways, we made in viral video out of that. And that was like poetry. Yeah, that is slam poetry. Slam. Poetry. Yeah, Ling. Yeah, that was really fun. Yeah, I think when it comes down to it, all of your words,

work is poetry and I think that that's something that we should explore further. Yes. Okay. I have a all you talking about being brilliant and just like having all these ideas reminds me that I have a new app idea. Which like everyone loves one. So we need okay wait we have to do so we have to do our verbal patent. Verbal patent this is my idea. If you steal it moving forward um you can and will be sued by my team, my huge team of employees and, et cetera. So I would be careful if I were you moving forward with this idea. Sure. That's all I'll say.

Anyway, you know how, let's say your flight, this is an airport app idea, let's say your flight is at one. Okay, let's see you leave your house, 1030, 11. 11, yeah. 11. You could leave at that time and you could miss your flight sometime. Or you could leave at that time and be waiting at the gate for an, hour and a half. Why isn't there an app where I can plug in early that morning when I would like to be at the airport? Let's say I would like to have 30 minutes to be at the airport before my

flight or I would like to be sitting at my gate 30 minutes before we board. I want to be at my flight at my one o'clock flight at 1230. I plug that in. You tell me exactly what time I need to leave my house, factoring in the traffic that's going on in the airport currently and outside of the airport. I think there's a lot, yeah, there's just like a lot of factors that would go into that. Yeah, and the app is going to take those factors into consideration. Sounds like a logistical nightmare for a UX. And that's not my business. Okay. That's the business of the UX. What's a U.S.? User Experience or like UI, user interface? I don't know, someone that does coding. Someone can figure that out, just like monitoring all the traffic patterns of the airport at similar time. Those are all based

on current airport traffic. Those are all based on cell phones. So it should work. Yeah, it should work. Yeah. Tell me exactly what time I need to be at the airport. with a little bit of a buffer to sit comfortably at my gate. You can't factor in some bizarre person going to Kaaba that started drinking at 7 in the morning, though. You can't, but just like weighs when it's like, oh, there's an accident up on the curb.

There's a drunk idiot wreaking havoc, and someone will report that in my app. That's interesting. Yeah. As a hazard, yeah. It's a hazard. I think that that could hold some water there. I just don't know why it doesn't exist.

Because there are days where I have to leave six hours before it gets my flight on time, and there are days where I could leave an hour and a half before my flight. I don't know what to say. Let's make things consistent. I think so. Via my new app.

Yes. So that's my new app idea. I think we hold off on the rest of the sidebar for now because we have, we'll carry those over to bonus, but we have some timely things that I think we should cover. Can I, I'm sorry. Take a break. Not Pine All Express, but I would love to. Use the restroom.

And I would love for you to have that experience and normalize it. Okay. Awesome. Normalizing it. And I will too while we're out of it. Okay. Yeah, go piss, girl. Hey guys, welcome back.

Brooke had a gas leak. No, sparrat, too. I was just pissing. Funny. Hey, give me something for pissing. Hell yeah, brother. That is one thing we have in common. Literally, you could say that again.

Yeah, it's so true. So I forget where we were, but I think that we kind of left it at a clean cut. Totally. I think we come back and where do you want to pick up? Two things I kind of want to talk about. Yeah. Let's start with Adam Levine. Okay.

Immediately off the bat, jail time. He needs jail time. No bail. Yeah. whatsoever. Electric chair? Lifetime sentence. Lifetime sentence for him.

It needs. And did I say no bail? Yeah. Can't stress that enough. Shot caller. Like for the rest of his life. Put away. Denies having an affair.

Yeah. Of course. Yes. Of course. That takes full responsibility. All accountability. All accountability. Of course.

But I didn't cheat. And we will be moving forward working on this together. But Hadi doesn't need to do shit, babe. You need to, again, check yourself in. I will say. To jail, by the way, if I haven't mentioned it. For the rest of your life. I have a friend that works in PR.

Yeah. And she texted me yesterday that they were spotted out getting coffee together yesterday via paparazzi. Bahadi or Sumner? No, Adam and Bahadi. I know. Okay, I mean, like, she can do whatever she wants. Here's the thing.

I think that there's an issue and Jinzi has solved this issue because they're not having kids as young. Parents should be old and gross. They shouldn't be hot enough to have accessibility to. That's an interesting point. To cheat unless they want to, like, once you get old and gross and like, if you think about it, like, if I'm old, and like gross i need to stop saying old and gross if i'm like if i'm like older like

like pretty old not like that's not he's not old but and like or you just shouldn't cheat even if you're hot yeah i think it's it makes it way more like how old is sumner by the way sumner and i worked together at bumble of course we went to college together i know her as bad as everyone says she is to say it to me no she's i really like her in person um she's really sweet We, again, we work together. Everyone on TikTok that, like, knows her saying, like, she's the most vile human they've ever.

You know, what's funny about when things like this happen is that everybody wants to jump in. I am her boyfriend's, cousin, sister's second, like, schnauzer twice for moved, and I had a bad experience. No. You want to gain 160 followers on TikTok, like, just shut up. This is, like, at the end of the day, this is someone's family.

Like, this is so icky. to me that like people want to jump in and like Sumner's icky to begin with. No offense to your friend Sumner. No no no I just I think that like what she did was like ew I know it's it's not obviously like you can you can be friends with someone and not approve of everything they do you know it's like I think it's I think it's gross but I think the problem here is the fact especially because like eight other women have come out since this has happened is Adam like take some of the accountability is like I have a problem and he should be sure and

And in Sumner's defense, she was new to L.A., so it's hard for her to know that she shouldn't have had an affair with a married woman, you know, today. Man. Sorry, man. No, I agree. I'm not, like, defending. I'm not defending that at all. We don't even know if they did anything in person, do we? Well, no, I don't think they did.

She, I guess it depends. No, they didn't. I don't think. Yeah. I think that's not, like, I think it's clear that they didn't. They just. I don't know. It's just how he's defining a fair.

He says he didn't have an affair, but like I would constitute that an affair. Like the DMs, like being like, you're so fucking sexy. Like, show me what that ass to. No, he said, actually, quote was, fuck. May need to see that booty. What are you a pirate? Right. And then follow up, do you mind if I name my child after you?

Would that be fine? That, to me is what the jail. Cross the line. To me, that's the jail, no bail piece. I'm saying the whole situation. is icky in the sense that like I don't really understand marriage to be honest like legally

so did he do anything illegal here like on and with the I think or is it just like if it's if it's straight up just like an icky thing we need to we've lost I think what you're referring to is that if there's like a pre-nup yeah there's no there can be infidelity

clauses yeah where it's like if he cheats then she gets X yeah by the way I'm gonna get like dunked on for defending this whole situation. I'm just like trying to have the whole conversation. Conard loves playing devil's advocate at the end of the day.

Well, it like opens up other things. Like I obviously think that this is wrong. Like it's grosses me out and it gives me the icky and I feel really bad for the family. That's just what I'm saying. No, of course. At the end of the day, it's just like,

and I've seen... And I've seen... But I've seen this happen to like people I know and like dads or moms who have done this and it's like, it sucks. And then like the whole social media piece like everyone knows. It's just like...

I don't understand like... How are you, like, his ego must be so massive to think that like, oh, this is fine. Like, I'm going to DM these girls, like, with my face attached and, like, nothing's going to happen to me. You know? Yeah. Like, how do you, how do you think that's okay? Yeah. And then this other girl comes out and she's like, well, this girl embarrassed herself in a big way. But I don't think this girl came out and she's like blowing him up and he's responding, which is just like, don't. You know, like, you got such a good life.

Like, why would you throw it away like that? Ego and stupid and jail. Just like, you just, you hate to see it. Yeah. He's not going to be able to, not that it matters, but like he can't be on like the voice or whatever he's on right now. Like that's going to be. I don't even know if he's still on.

Is he not? I have no idea. He's just like so, he's irrelevant at the end of the day. And like this is putting him back on the map, unfortunately, as, as things like this do. But he'll go back to being irrelevant. He's like a rock star. I don't think he was ever irrelevant. Oh, really?

I would say like irrelevant. Yeah. Because if I see Adam Levine in public and I text to you like, oh, gee guess who I just saw Adam Levine, okay. I'd be like, whoa, no way. Oh, really? I was just like, okay. I don't know.

Overall, we should give things like... Rating. Ratings. Overall, ick to the, like, major ick. This is like, it's sad to me, honestly. Obviously, everybody's wrong here. Except for Bahadi, of course. Except for Bahadi, bless your heart.

And the baby. And the kids. God damn. And she's pregnant right now, right? Yeah. That's why this came up because he DM'd her again. I was like, do you mind if I name my baby after you? L.O.L.

Like beyond. Beyond. Dead serious, by the way. Yeah. In summary. If I messed up any of my words, I'm sorry. I bet someone's going to come from my throat for that. We know your intentions.

You know my heart. Yeah, we know C of BNC Incorporated. We know your heart. Okay, the other thing that I wanted to talk about that I'm super excited for is the new Jeffrey Dahmer show. Yep. And this goes back to an issue that I have. Yes. Of casting men I'm in love with as psychopaths.

Right. Unfortunately, I fear I'm going to have no choice but to fall in love. What's a fall in love with Jeffrey Dahmer? And obviously, that blows. And you know what's funny for you is that it also is in track with you falling in love with homosexual men. Totally. I mean, it's a, it's the intersectionality here is working against me of psychopath and gay man, unfortunately. I think. And Evan Peters, for me in the past, has been a tier one is now resting comfortably at a tier two. So it's just like that.

What do you mean? He moved down to tier two. Well, that everyone moves down to tier two. Wait. You can only have so many tier one. I didn't know that. Yeah. Oh, no, you can really only like two max, I would say, for tier ones. Like the most compelling celebrity. crush. But Evan Peters was like full tier one for me at a point. And now tier two as he lays dormant. But he's going to come back up to two tier one. He's hibernating. He's hyper. That's what happened. He's in his chrysalis. Yeah. He's going to come out with these fucking glasses on. It's like that I'm looking at this picture of of Evan Peters playing Jeffrey Dahmer and I'm like, damn, that's, he's so fucking hot. Randomly. Like that sucks. I just want to say between between you and I and whoever listens, that Alexander didario. Yeah.

commented on a photo, I think from an account she follows. Her account commented, she didn't go to this event that I went to like two weeks ago. And it was like a small event with Madewell. And I went and she commented, OMG, I could have met at Fibula. Insane. Speaking of tier ones.

And I said, we can still make that happen. We can still make that happen. Anyways, I've never matched your energy on something like this and I'm so stoked. So it's come out, what, today? It comes out today. And Brooks, it all comes out at once. Brooks gonna binge it.

I have no choice. I wish I could watch at a comfortable pace like you want to. I don't have that option available to me. Yeah, I'm not gonna be able to do so. So if anyone wants to watch with me and kind of spread it out so that we can digest each episode instead of watching it all at once, like an eight and a half hour movie, I think we, I will do that with you. And then you can, you can break it down for us week by week. It looks so creepy. I was getting nauseous watching

in like the best way like the best way. I didn't know. I thought he was killing women. I thought this whole thing. No. I remember my mom always talking about Jeffrey Dahmer and being like

oh like that was Ted Bundy. Ted Bundy that's what it is. Oh, Jeffrey Dahmer. You're portrayed by Zach Efron. Yeah. Give me a break. They're not giving me toys.

That's like an episode one TBT of being in love with Zach Afron affront and them casting him as a psycho. Of course. How was that a movie or was that a show? It was a movie. Damn. have you ever seen it?

You should. I don't want to. I don't want to. I think this is way more of interest to me because I think American Horror Stories with the American Horror Story, whatever, like this new thing they're doing. American Horror Stories?

Yeah, unrelated episodes. It's not great. It's not good. It's not good. I mean, I've watched every episode, and I always will. I'm an American Horror Story. Die hard.

I miss the days of yours. By the way, that's like how I met some of my friends in college. They would air, so losery. They would air, like, the episodes as they came out each week, throw back to when things would come out weekly. I did that too, Kahn. It's not losery.

That was like the highlight of my week. Well, it's not losery. But, yeah, this is gonna be. I mean, it's giving B.U. It's giving, yeah, it's giving B. you. Ew, I fucking hate B.U. That's fine.

Ooh, my leg is asleep. Oh. It's probably from the lip stuff. I couldn't help but notice I was having a bit of a bit of a, It was an allergic reaction when I went to the restroom. What's wrong? Oh, yeah, how are your lips?

Follow up? Yeah, I mean, they're bright red. Yeah. But like around my whole mouth is red. Oh, I shouldn't, maybe I shouldn't have applied it to your mouth area. No, you're fine. What's your take on the two-faced lip injection and the plate of women in general? It could have hurt more.

Seriously? Yeah, I kind of wish it did. Well, I wish I could do something more. You can punch me in the face. I don't want to. Okay. Well, then. But I need.

This is going to be really good. So stay tuned for that. That's going to be fucking great. I'm watching a night. Did you see? Yes, I did see. What am I going to say? Lily and Michelle?

Yes. She made a TikTok addressing. Sure. That she can't read. Yeah. Calling Jonathan to ask him to read the comments on my first TikTok. Who's Jonathan? Jonathan Groff, who was my first ever tier one.

Her best friend. This is an interesting thing. Her best friend is Jonathan Groff, who's literally like the most like angel human like objectively like probably the sweetest man in the entire world was in spring awakening with her as her best friend he was also in glee with her

that's Jonathan he was in Mind Hunter Did you ever watch Mind Hunter? He's in like a lot of I think a bug just flew out of my nose Oh shit it's probably from the two-faced lip injection It's a piece of dust It scared me I was like where did this bug go from? He was the king in Hamilton just like in a lot of things

Oh okay But I was in love with him from him being in Spring Awakening with Leah. I've never seen anything that he's in. And Lee. In Glee. He ends up actually marrying. That's who she ends up marrying in Glee.

Okay. Anyway, that's her best friend. And he's just like everyone can agree just like the sweetest guy in the world, which is so interesting because it's like if people say Lee and Michelle is so horrible, which I don't know. And then how is she friends with Jonathan?

He's just like the best person in the world. But it's just like, I don't know. No, that's just like a question that everybody has. But anyway, the TikTok that she made was calling Jonathan to ask him to read the comments on my first TikTok. And then the sound, yeah, I'm okay. But can I ask you a question really quick? That Kim sound. This is pretty funny.

Which is really good. And now this is finally what's making me think, okay, yeah, she can't read. Because she tried the, no, I can read approach. And clearly that wasn't working. So now she's really doing everything she can to prove that she can read because I think her being, like, oh, I'm in on the joke. Is her trying to be like, yeah, ha ha, I'm making fun of it because I can read. But in reality, this is making me think she can't read.

Does that make sense? Yeah, I get it. I get it. It totally makes sense. She's changing her approach to be like, ha ha, I'm in on it. But now I'm thinking. Reading is hard in her defense. Oh, totally.

No one said it was easy. You know what, Brooke? Hmm. The brain is a muscle. And if you don't work it out, you lose it. So, use it or lose it. Maybe she's been just so busy that she hasn't really been able to exercise her brain muscle and she lost her reading ability.

The other thing that convinced me, did you see the TikTok of her presenting that award? Mm-mm. I don't have the link to that on hand, but there's a video of her presenting an award. Yeah. And she goes, and the award goes to, and she looks at the paper and then looks at who she's presenting. I think she was presenting it with Ian Summerholder, although I could be making that up. looks at him, he says it and then she says it like a second

delayed when he's saying it. Like she couldn't get that information from the piece of paper. Well, it kind of reminds me of this week, Kanye West did an interview. Did you see that? No. And he came out, he is,

I'm back to thinking he's a loser. Every now and then I'm like, oh, he's kind of like playing this up, he's acting. I'm back to thinking he's a freaking loser. But this is unrelated and I actually agree with this. He said in an interview, reading is like eating Brussels sprouts for me,

and talking is like getting the Giorgio Baldy corn ravioli, which is really delicious. That's a restaurant in Santa Monica. But he prefers talking. He thinks reading is repulsive. He was on the Allo Mindful podcast that aired on Friday. The outspoken rapper told Allo's Danny Harris and Allison Wilson that he's never read any literature and prefer speaking inside. I actually haven't read any book, West said.

is like eating Brussels sprouts for me and talking is like the Georgia Obaldi corn ravioli. He's never read a book. Sure. But at the end of the day, like he can read. Sure. In terms of like scrolling through Instagram, he can read the captions. Yeah, but I think seeing street signs, he can read them. Whereas Leah, now I'm not sure that she has the ability, which is fine.

Well, the difference between Kanye West and Leah Michelle is that Kanye West is starting a school. Oh, duh. Yeah. And it's called a Donda Academy. And the students will participate in full school worship, core classes of language, arched math, and science. In addition to lunch, recess, and enrichment courses such as visual art film, choir, parkour. Right. It just sounds, it's giving cult.

And that's where he wants his kids to go, right? Yeah, I actually have met more than one person who, like, you know, we have a couple friends that are like, PAs like personal assistance for celebrities. There's a lot of like celebrities that are going to send their kids to dumb. Putting their kids in for a couple days a week. That's frightening. I mean, benefit of the doubt, King. I hope that he's going to hire the best of the best.

I wonder who's going to enroll in park horror. It's going to be really funny when a bunch of A-List celebrities kids are all like blanking on PCH. It's not the worst idea. It's activities. Yeah. It's a fun activity. Gets your body moving. One thing they left out was reading.

Here's that clip of Lee and Michelle presenting the award. Yeah, it was Ian Summerholder. Okay, wait, watch this. Okay, so this is the clip of Ian Summerholder and Lee Michelle presenting at the Emmys in 2011. For Outstanding directing for a variety of music or comedy series. Outstanding directing. And the Emmy goes to. Okay, opening the paper, looking at it.

Don Roy King. Saturday Night Live. Right? Like, she can't read. Based off of that clip alone. You know, and, you know, like you really get in your head about something like you I used to really be able

to do a back flip like pretty well like on the ground and besides getting really out of shape like I messed up one time and I was never able to do it again because I was scared I was going to mess up again so maybe she gets her like S's and Zs mixed up maybe she's still flexing sure I can understand totally

but like in that situation where there's a few options of who's going to win like that's a sight word you know it's not a matter of tripping up on letters it's like you see this word you know you connect it to one of the names of the options of the winners and you're able to recite that regardless of getting letters tripped up or not you know what i'm saying yeah so it's i so i've now fully i'm fully on the she can't read band my yeah okay well i guess i'm there too
