I'm a hider. Yeah. Yeah. Oh. But I'm also, like I said, I think I could maybe befriend them. What is that called? Crohn's disease? Prisoner's disease.

Stockholm syndrome Stockholm syndrome That's what I'd be really good at that I honestly think I could convince the zombies Hey man I'm quick I can go get it's not even What Stockholm syndrome is though Stockholm syndrome is it when you're abducted And you fall in love with your kidnapper

So I'm actually not sure at all what you're referring to That could possibly be related to Crohn's City The Stanford assistant with the Stanford experiment No How old do you think the youngest person to go through menopause was You think that's happening to you? I'm curious because of the hot flashes. 45 and 55?

But who's the youngest? Can you go through menopause in your 20s? Starts for most people in their late 40. I know, but what's the premature menopause begins before the age of 40 and can sometimes happen in your 20s? I think that's what's been happening to me this week because I am like hot flashes, grumpy, grumpy, grumpy. Okay.

Like, claustrophobic in my own body. Like, I don't even want to like be in my shirt. shoes. Like there, I feel taking your shoes off? Can I? I don't care. Yeah, I mean, I'll just like kind of loosen them at least. Okay. If it helps with your... Everything is feeling

so tight. If you're, if you're pretty much your menopause will kind of lay off so we can record for a little bit, I think take off your shoes. Yeah, I think that could help and I'm wearing like these cute little socks. So, yeah. I have to show them more. Just because of my menopause. No, you start. Why am I sweating some?

much. Are you giving me off-flashes? I'm telling you something. Our bodies are so in sync that you're going through menopause as well. I can't. Do you have too much to do to go through menopause right now? Yeah, it sucks. Trust me. I know. I'm going to freeze my sperm. Well, because why? Because you're going through menopause? Yeah. Yeah, probably should. I should freeze my eggs while we're at it. My time is ticking. We could go together. I'd like to freeze my sperm. And I'd like to freeze my eggs if you have time. And keep them separate. Um, hey guys, we are Brooke and Connor and we're making a podcast today. And so I'm going out of town.

We're pre-recording this episode so that we don't leave you hanging out to dry. And so for these next two episodes coming up, today we'll be doing a special mailbag episode. You guys wrote in questions Q&A. Um, I asked for social security numbers as a joke and I got like a ton of them. So I had to delete my story pretty quick because I don't know the legalities. around asking people publicly for their social security numbers and how many people were willing to send in one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight numbers. Mm-hmm.

What I think that some people send in their actual thing just based on the, I really, I feel confident they do. And just so you know, this episode is coming out in two weeks from the time that we're sitting here today. So anything that happens between now and then, none of our business. It's none of our business. None of our business. We're not responsible for it.

Yeah. Consider us out of the. loop. Yeah. We'll consider us in the loop in our own privately. Privately in the loop. Whatever happens to be David in the comfort of our own homes. Private. Private. Handling it privately. Do you think anyone's going to die in the next two weeks? I hope not. Let's just manifest no. What if we go two weeks globally with no deaths because we manifested it on this set? I think it's incredibly possible with the power of the studio. Elon Musk is going to shit his pants if we population control wise. Oh wait, no, he'd like that. He would like that. He would

like if no one died? Yeah, because he's worried that the population is rapidly declining. That's why he's having sex with all his employees. Okay, got it. Yeah. Just to try to do his part. Okay. So we're going to be asking each other some questions.

You have questions on your phone. Yep. I have questions on my phone. Yep. And we can go back and forth and kind of see what happens. Yeah, I just want to go back to the Social Security number thing really quick. Sure. The thing about people sending me their Social Security number is that I'm pretty sure if I was at the airport and they were like, you can pay a dollar for this.

diet Pepsi in this vending machine or you could type on your SSN. I think I would opt for the SSA. If it was free with your SSN. Yeah, do what you want with it. True. Like, what's so important about it? Somebody could steal your identity, I guess. No idea.

Honestly, take my identity. I know. Give me a little break. Okay, well, you have to pay my parking tickets also if you stay on my identity. Okay, well, so Brooks, your phones have gone out again. No, but they're back. And they're back now. I'm starting to think I'm a little loose.

You're loosingating it. You're loosened? Because of hearing. It seemed to just be a minor blip. Oh, maybe it was a blip in the system. Yeah, I think it was a blip in the system. I think Elon is hacking it. Alon?

What's his name? Fuck. Because I only ever read it. Did you eat breakfast? Elon. Elon Musk. Yeah. Yeah.

I also just like don't know how to pronounce names. That's good. Or words. It's kind of none of your business. Would I say, Alon? I'm thinking of like Alana. Yeah. Alana Musk.

Oh, and congrats. Oh, yeah. Congrats to Abby Jacobson on her engagement. I love Abby Jacobson of Broad City. She's engaged. Okay, well, anyways, let's dive in. Can you go first? Yeah, I'll go first.

So we got a bunch of questions. I really, they're in no order besides chronological, I guess. So they are in an order. But I'm just going to start here. I'm nervous a little bit. Yeah, I'm nervous too. But I'm just going to start really easy. Okay.

Give me something. like what's your favorite movie. Okay. Or like just something like very simple. Okay. To ease me in. When is the last time Brooke and Connor have hooked up? Just going to ease you in.

Are you going to be honest? No. Okay. Are you? Yeah. Okay. Ready. All right.

You're up. Okay. That one like made me sweat so bad. That's okay. It's the menopause too, baby. I know. I lost my, um. That's okay.

Okay. And these might be a little rapid fire and they might... Okay. Fuck Mary Kill, me, Cody, Noel. You, Cody, Noel? Mm-hmm. Oh, that's hard. Mm-hmm.

And then I'll do it with you, Cody, and now. Okay, totally. So this is good. Hmm. That's so hard. I know. Because you're talking about all of our coworkers here. And that kind of boss.

My boss is. And since we don't have an active HR personnel, on set, I'll just opt to go very transparent. Who am I gonna fuck out of the three of you? Yeah. That's kind of where I am. Can we not maybe do this one? I feel like this is not.

I feel like you have to, but you can give a reasoning that will kind of get you out of the hole, you know? Yeah. Like, I'm gonna kill this person, but out of respect for our friendship or something. Like, you know, kind of like that. So it's just weird because, like, I, do have to have sex with one of these three.

Yeah. You guys all seem to be great lovers. Uh-huh. So, um, I think. You can kill me. So, yeah, so. Out of respect for our, our career. Well, I think that, that one of them would rather die than have sex with me.

It would, and I feel like it would be Noel. So I have to kill Noel. Now that, now it's, sorry. Out of respect for him. Out of respect for him. I'm looking out. And out of respect for that. that we have in studio.

So I have to kill Noel, unfortunately, although I feel like he may be a stallion in the sheets. I'll never know because he's dead. You'll never know. So I have to, you know what? I'm going to fuck you. Oh, that's really sweet. Yeah, because Cody's kind of just got like a level,

like very steady put together. And you don't feel that way about me. Well, maybe I have to kill Kelsey. No, she's not involved. But if I'm going to marry Cody, then... You assume her support. Yeah, okay, then yeah. That's what it is.

That's the answer. Awesome. I'm not going to answer it. You are so... Okay, here's one. How tall are both of you? That's a low-hanging fruit. This is one that I know...

That's a softball pitch. You're going to lie. Brooke. Okay, here's a thing. win one of your friend's lies why do you feel the need to call them out why don't you assume you never give your friends

benefit of the doubt when they're lying Brooke is not by the way if you guys are ever in a situation with Brooke which has happened to me about 60 times when you're going to actively lie with a straight face to benefit you do not expect to get away with it because Brooke will correct you and I can tell you exactly why I correct you and act like you are the most outlandish human for lying

I'm not acting like you're outlandish I correct you because your lies all also affect the way I look. Then you should learn how to lie. I don't, and I don't want to lie. Learn when to lie. No, I don't want to lie, and your lies affect me. My lies have gotten me where I am right now.

That's fine. And I've also gotten you where you are right now with my partnership and love. So you can't, one cannot live while the other survives. We could be hosting the VMAs right now if you would just learn how to lie and win to lie. No, that has nothing to do with it. Okay. How tall are you? Six-four.

I don't even need to, no comment, because that's just like, outlandish. It's right there. We have it pulled up. Yeah, that, okay. That was when I played basketball in high school. Okay, I'm 5-11 then. If you're 6-4, mathematically, because from the difference, if you're 6-4, mathematically, I'm, like, 5-6 or 5-7. Quite the leap from 5-6 to 5-11.

Anyways, yeah, I'm 6'4, but I don't know how all of Brooks' questions have been turned on to me so far. I kind of like this game. Yeah, because you're just absolutely berating me on the right side of the... Answer a question thoughtfully and truthfully, and I wouldn't have to. No. Then you know what's coming. Okay. What are your thoughts on Halloween?

Oh, that's good. That's a good question. Yeah, thank you. You know, so I grew up in Texas. I wasn't allowed to watch Harry Potter because my mom was convinced that there was black magic in that trilogy.

And there was. They talk about black magic all the time. I don't think she really read the book. Well, yeah, it's the whole point, kind of. Yeah. The dark arts were a conversation probably in one of her spooky Bible study groups or something.

But Halloween itself, she also convinced me that haunted houses were, could very easily result in my death because someone could be hiding in there with a real chain cell. Real murderer. Yeah. Everyone would be like,

oh, whoa, Connor's going along with it, but I'm really just being stabbed. Right. So I never really got to enjoy it. That's the one, like,

concern I think is fair about all the trepidation parents have with Halloween. Like the razor blades and the candy, that's like, come on. I don't, that's not going to happen to me.

But I do think it's possible that I would be harder to happen to me. The way that I showed Tutsi rolls down my gullet. You like Tutsi rolls? Oh, hell yeah. Oh, that's like one candy

I just cannot get on board with. Why? I don't, oh, They're just like... It's just... I don't like... You know what?

I don't like candy. I like chocolate. The only kind of candy I really like is those Scandinavian swimmers from Trader Joe's. Me too. But like, you give me skittles and M&Ms,

I'm picking M&Ms. I would never ever pick a skittal. Like, I would never willingly pick up a skittal. Like, it's not disgusting, but it's like no purpose to me. Okay. But Halloween, just in general?

I, like, I never got super... I don't like the color orange. So I think that's probably... Do you like dressing up and stuff? Yeah, but I dress up like pretty much constantly. So I don't really need a holiday for it. See, I don't really care about the dressing up piece. I more care about like the seasonal

October, fally, like haunted hayride, haunted house piece of Halloween. You like functions. Yeah, that I love. And activities. That I love I don't care about dressing up. I don't care about Halloween parties. I like trick or treating. I love trick-or-treating when I was a kid but like now that does nothing for me. Like I just love the vibe of Halloween and October.

Two things to say. Okay. One, I just love being spooky in general. Uh-huh. You know? I love scary. I love spooky season. I like spooky season.

I like spooky. I like spooky. I cut it off at scary. How would you differentiate the two? Like psychological thriller versus like gory? No. I don't know. Okay.

I like spooky because it's kind of fun. Scary is just like, why would you want to put yourself in a situation that genuinely scared? Although I do like, Misery loves company. I like being scared with my friends. Yeah. But I don't like just sitting in a movie. theater watching a scary movie. Secondly,

my parents' neighborhood growing up outlawed trick-or-treating because they were just like hateful people that just had huge sticks up their butt. And so we had to do trunk or treat, which is where all the parents would decorate their trunks of their cars. And then we went car to car in the parking lot. Weird. Hell on earth. Interesting. Yeah. So what drove the teenagers to drink so early is you started stripping away our rights. Yeah. Yeah. That sucks. I'm sorry. So then we needed to go illegal. Yeah.

We need to go illegal. Wait. I got to tell the story. Speaking of pushing us to drinking at 13. So 13 years old, first time I ever sipped alcohol. That's pretty young. Yeah. And it wasn't, we weren't like... Was that like typical of Texas? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because like our parents would go to parties, have cocktails, whatever. And the kids would go to the

same parties, but we just like, I guess we were playing tag or something. I don't really know what. I can't remember what we did. But my friends were always like older than me in the neighborhood. So I had friends that were like two and a half, three years older than me. And that's who I rolled with. And I was like 12, I think actually. And they were 15. That's crazy to me to think of. 11 or 12. I can't remember. So it's getting younger every second. Yeah, I'm trying to think because we were really young. None of us were, they weren't driving. We were driving. Like you weren't even going their puberty no and i remember i they they were like we're gonna take some beer we're at the miller's house down the street and the there's one of those those dad the dad fridge in the garage where like

the dad had all of his bud light and stuff in the garage in his garage cooler or his garage fridge and they were like you're wearing a bumblebee costume and it was a big fat bumbleby costume i can probably find a picture of it actually and they were like so we have to stuff your bumbleby costume with the beers and i was 12 And I was like, okay, let's do this. And so we went in the garage. They put seven beers, Miller lights or Budlights, in my bumblebee costume, zipped it up, and we left.

And I'm clonking through the house, like squeezing my way through. And everyone's a normal costume. I'm a bumblebee costume because I'm a child. We get on the golf cart. We crack one beer open. They all take a sip. I take a sip. I'm wasted from a sip of beer.

Or it was in my head, but I remember being like, oh my. experience. I'm drunk. This is a cuckoo. And then I had a panic attack. My first one ever, I'm pretty sure. And I said, they're going to find out, they're going to find out.

And then I started scaring everybody else. I'm like, oh, crap, we got to get rid of them. We all lived on a lake. So we threw all the beers in the lake. And we were like, okay, few. And the millers lived on the lake. And then the beers started popping up in the lake because they flow. And they were bombing around. And they were going to wash up to the house. And so I pretended like I was sick so my parents would have to take me home so they wouldn't see the beers bobby around the lake

but that was that was Halloween. Wow. I guess I don't care for Halloween. I love the season. In summary, I love the season. I don't like going to Halloween parties and stuff and dressing up. Okay.

I just love spookiness. Okay, wow. But I do think that's a universal experience of having one sip of beer for your first time and then just being like I am fucking blacked. Yeah, I had one sip of beer in France When I was 16 and was like about to get on the next flight home

Because I was like one, I'm an addict Yeah Two like I'm so drunk like I need my stomach pumped And like they're gonna send me home And then it's just like it's like the worst experience And then I just like never drank after that Because it was so bad Well Rachel C wrote in and actually said

Worst family vacation stories Ooh My family did not go on a lot of Family vacations do that parents not enjoying each other's company from pretty young age. Yeah. But we only went out of the country once. And I think that, like, I don't have many memories. Yeah.

Which is scary as a child. Sure. So you go first. Oh, I don't have any memories as a child. Yeah, they're pretty much gone, which. Gone with, gone with the wind and the times. times. And my,

and your menopause. Yeah. Worst family vacation. I have one if you want to think of. The only one I can think of is we used to go to the shore a lot when I was a kid with the Jersey Shore. Right. And in my mom's minivan or my, maybe it was my dad's truck. There was like one of those TVs, like the car TVs that would flip down.

And me and Noah, my brother were watching Legally Blonde. And I was probably like seven or eight and he was five or six. and she says asshole in it. And so my brother called everybody asshole for the rest of the trip and he was like five and then we weren't allowed to watch Legally Blonde again and that was just like the worst thing that could have ever happened to me

because that's one of my favorite movies. That's, uh, yeah. Mine was like while I was in college. Like my freshman year. Oh, really? Is this the one where you just like got in a fight with? No, I told them Yosemite's story already so I'm not going to tell the Yosemite story again where my sister broke my nose.

But we went to Japan. Oh, whoa. I feel like your family was so active with trips and stuff. Yeah, well, that's what we did because my dad was a pilot. Uh-huh. So we went to Japan.

We're in Tokyo, and we were supposed to be there for like, like my mom and dad were going to leave, and then me and my sister were going to stay there. Alone? Yeah, because we had plans to do the whole country, but my parents just wanted to do Tokyo and then go home. So they were going to do that. And my sister, because of the time change,

woke up at 3.15 in the morning and started blow drying her hair. And we were in the same hotel room. And so I walk and I go, shut up. And she goes, no. And so I'm like, there's no way this is real. Like, you're not really doing this.

What was she doing? Why? At 3 a.m. No, I don't know. Maybe she just, like, had to shower at that time because she was up. And then it's like once you wet your hair, it's like, what choice does she have?

I sleep with a fan anyway, so I was like, I had no idea I can deal with the noise. But she was leaving the door open because the hair dryer was getting so hot. So it was 3.15 a.m. She's bludering her hair and there's a light on. I'm like... Well, you can't expect you're doing that dark. 3.15 in the morning without the hair dryer.

I'm like, I'm jet lag too and I'm like, you got to just make yourself go to sleep. Uh-huh. You know? So anyways, we got in a fight. She slams the door, hits me in the face. It's like a big hotel door. And I go, no. This is not happening.

whatever. I forget what happened, but we got in a big fight. Right. I was bleeding out of my nose again or out of my head. The door was really heavy and it hit me in the face. And so my dad wakes up. He's like, what are you doing? I'm like, I'm going on a walk. I left the hotel room at 4 a.m. I didn't come back till like 11 in the morning. Like went rogue and Tokyo? Went on a walk and Tokyo is so awesome. You can walk around everyone and get food and stuff. And I just have no concept of Tokyo. Yeah, it's really cool. It's basically a city. Yeah, that makes sense.

Yeah. Yeah. And it was really awesome. And then I came back and I was like, where's my sister? And they were like, she took a flight home. Oh. So that was the worst trip ever. No way.

It like messed up everybody's flights. Oh. Any who'd had. Wow. Okay, I got, well, that was mine to you. Okay. I've got one for you then. All right.

Oh, these are some of these are really, really good. Yeah. Okay. Who would be your dream podcast guest who's not a crush? I guess that was more specified towards me. Yeah. The crush. You'll answer to.

Your dream podcast guest. Jim Carrey. Wow, reaching for the stars. Yeah. I don't think that's... You don't think that's the stars? You think that's possible? Yeah, I really, really think that anything is possible.

Okay. Yeah. If Jim Carrey came on the podcast, that would be one I would have to sit out. Just due to, like, terrified. Because of the mask. Have you ever seen that movie? Yeah, that was one of my favorite movies. Yeah, would not be able...

He's been sure a pet detective in the man. Yeah. Yeah, would not be able to be in the same room as Jim Carrey. Well, who's yours then? Because of the mask. I feel like he's the word we'd have on and you'd be like I'm obsessed with him. I would watch and I would support you.

My dream podcast guest, the thing is, like, I don't want anyone to come on that I'm obsessed with because I know that I wouldn't be able to interact with them in the way that I would want to interact with them in a dream scenario. Right. So I feel like my dream podcast guest

would be... Harrison Ford. No, probably like Steve from Love on the Spectrum. like someone I just like adore platonically and just like want to talk genuinely want to just talk to. That's interesting. Yeah. Oh, he is awesome.

Yeah. He really is awesome. So I'm going to go with Steve. Okay. Yeah. I like that. Thanks. Okay.

So Val writes in, is it inappropriate of me to go to a pit bull concert on 9-11? Oh, I saw that. She's already bought her tickets. Yeah. You know 9-11's a very loaded day for- Because it's my birthday. Yeah.

It's her birthday and it was kind of the onset of a lot of my mental issues. Weird. I know. I don't think it's a coincidence, to be honest. Like that's a kid. Yeah, Val has her pit bull tickets on 9-11? I think you can. I think you can go.

I think you can go and just, I guess just with social media, et cetera, be, I would just maybe hold off on posting until the next day. I don't know. But what like I'm just so I'm so for being like this thing happened being mindful of it, but just like it's you can't let it ruin your pit bull experience like I would I would go and I would just yeah I think if it were me I would just like post the next day. So it doesn't look like you were raving on 9-11 go to but I mean I'll be raving on 9-11. I mean it's my birthday. I know you will but but it's on a Sunday I'll probably just be like panicking. We should do something for your birthday. Um, I might be a new. York. Okay. So no. Thank you so much. Um, okay. You're up. Okay. Do you think trauma is required to be funny? Oh my God. I love this question. And it's actually part of my stand-up set that I'm writing. Oh, give it to us. I don't have it totally written out, but I actually wrote this down the other day. And I was thinking because I, you know, it's really hard to be funny just in general. Yeah. It's also really hard when you don't have a bit that was given to you by your circumstances.

A lot of people say that's just like privilege. But like no one talks about the comedic privilege of like getting beaten severely as a child. Or having your parents just be like shitty or having someone die. Wait, you're saying you're underprivileged because of your privilege? Yeah, comedically. But you consider yourself funny. I'd like to think that So how are you underprivileged if you're funny?

Because you are funny regardless of your trauma You think you'd be funnier if you had trauma? If I had a bit I could riff off of Someone's gonna take that out of context And rip me to shreds, it's a joke So you do think you can be funny? Yeah. Without trauma?

Yeah, I think but it's a lot It's more of a gift given to you by God But you're funny with trauma Than something that can be Yeah, no, I think you can be funny without trauma But I think a lot of people with trauma like use that and come up with really, really good stuff from it. You know, yeah.

You're just like lacking the bit. Although I will say like, you know how when people get drunk, they start talking about their child of drama? Yeah. For you, you like always like pull up a chair next to me and you start talking about your like acid reflux as a kid because like you're reaching so hard. And your Gerd. Is that the same thing? It is. Yeah.

Yeah. So I've heard a lot about that. I think you're bringing up my trauma. No problem. Yeah, just kind of checking. To remind you you, you do have, you do have something. Thank you. Yeah, no problem.

Yeah. Was that a me question? No, that you asked me that, but I think that that's an interesting question because I think that like, it is harder for me to write jokes as I don't have a bit. I think a lot of people have, they have the, uh, I think your bit is rags to riches bit. Are they, yeah, I think that's why it's part of my sense. I'm going to lean into that. Thank you so much for bringing up that thing. Did your parents almost name you anything else?

Yes. What is it? Bobby, B-O-B-I for a girl. Wow. I... Damn, that sucks. No, I wish that was my name. No, I'm saying that sucks that you didn't get that name.

I know, don't you think? I really like it. Bobby would have been cool. It's original. That's the thing. Like, I wish I had an original name. I like Brooke. But I...

It's not super original. It doesn't translate to other countries. Because like when I go abroad, the few times I've been, like, people cannot say my name. Huh. Yeah. What do they say? Just like broke. Or like literally just something like so like unpleasant to the ears.

Whoa. It's just so American. Yeah. I don't think I look like a brook. I'm trying to think. I don't think I know another brook. Really? Yeah.

So congrats. You claimed in my, in my vision, you look like Brooke. Yeah. because of it being your name as well. It's not like super common that I'm so upset about it, but I wish it was a little less common. Like I want my kids to have like kind of weird names. Yeah, but it is important to keep in mind that you are naming not only a baby.

You're also naming an toddler and, you know, 30 year old. An elderly, an elder. You're naming a 40-year-old as well. I know. And an old person. I think Bobby would be cute at any. I agree. I think Bobby would not be cute at like 37.

I think it would. Okay. Yeah. But if you could change your name, and this was one of my questions, so sorry to hijack. What would you change it to? I don't have that ready, readily available. I don't think I have that. Probably like something, well, I don't know.

Were there any alternative names your parents had? Yeah, Austin. I was always born. I was always born to be like an Austin. A white dude. Yeah. That is just my parents' dream of. What if you were a girl?

Of theirs was to be. It was going to be Connor both times. If you were a girl? Yeah. That's cute. And then it was going to be Austin because I was born in Austin. So clearly I didn't get like my creativity from my parents, which is another trauma piece. Like where did it come from?

Right. So sad. Yeah. Yeah. It's hard for me. To be searching and searching with no answers. I was going to be Ben for a boy. Oh, that's very Jewish.

Yeah, I think so. Okay. Yeah. I just know a lot of Jewish guys named Ben. Yeah. So my cousin's Ben now. Yeah. because we were all going to be bees

because my bubby What happened to Noah? Well just like the oldest Because Ben's the oldest of him And I'm the oldest You know I can't remember what I was gonna follow up with Oh my name if it wasn't like if I could choose

Yeah Tiger Oh Really? I don't look like a tiger to you I guess now that you say it A little bit Yeah I like I would just not address you

You'd be like one of my friends' parents Who I just never address you know yeah um i would i think i would like just go with bobby like i okay cool yeah yeah yeah i like it you should sit but planted a seat yeah um i think you're up technically but because you hijacked it i think i'm gonna just take it fine do you have any dots on sorority rush particularly in the south no just because i never ever participated and never wanted to participate so i just scroll past like i'm not even on that side of tic talk yeah that's bama rush or whatever because I just don't engage.

Right. Just like never been part of it. You don't have any dots from the outside looking in? I haven't looked in. Like I barely know what it is. Yeah. Truly. Like it's just kind of like a foreign concept to me.

Because my school didn't, it had Greek life, but it was like very like loosely affiliated with the school and like people just like didn't really do it. It was like club. Kind of. It just like didn't really exist. Wow. Yeah. Interesting.

Yeah. That's a foreign concept to me. Yeah. But Greek life was foreign to me in general when I went to college. I remember in high school, all my friends were like, we're not doing that. That's so losery. And then freshman year, immediately we all did it. You did it?

Yeah, I did it first. Whoa. Because I had no friends. Uh-huh. So I was like, all right, I'm going to do it. But, um. Did you stay in it all four years? No.

No. I dropped like almost immediately. Uh, but, but sorority stuff, I was always like, damn, this sucks. They can't drink. So they're out like raw dogging meeting people And they can't drink No And they're like

But they do right No well a lot of them Like that is like their life or death Really to get into these things So like a lot of them take it very seriously Yeah I know girls that were like blacklisted For the most random stuff from everybody

So already girls drink Yeah but like not No Like not in the houses Like they can go to parties You know but they can't be Okay interesting I didn't know that I mean, I'm not speaking for everybody, but like, but it just seems, the reason I think that it would be fun to rush a sorority, like, is because I'm manipulative.

And so I'm easy, I'm good at making people think that they like me. Yes. So that is one of my skills. Yeah, that is making sense to me. Does it make sense to you that I was not a part of that? Well, you didn't have it at your school. Yeah, but it did, like, it existed a bit. but like I think if I

I mean I guess I can't speak to it but like I think if I had gone to a school where it was popular I wouldn't have done it but I guess it's hard to say it's hard to say yeah well you're up okay oh we did this the other day what is your our favorite things about each other nice okay go on oh do I have to answer I can go first if you want okay my favorite thing about you is that just so I hate shit like this it makes me so I hate any affection thing but I'm going to power through. Go on? We can totally skip it.

No, no, no, I'm going to power through. I think it's valuable. Okay, then let's do it. Well, now you're making me feel, now you're making me feel weird about it. I think it's refreshing for it. Okay. But we can skip it because now you're making me feel weird about it.

Don't because I'm sweating so much now that we've paused. It's so much to linger on this. And it's on my, do you want to go first then and get it over with? I like your teacher spirit, which I don't really know how to explain what that is, but it's understanding. Like if I pissed myself in front of you,

I wouldn't be embarrassed, you know? Because you're like, you're human. That's a nice thing to say for that one. Thank you. That's really nice. And I have shit my pants actually in front of you. Yeah. And you were like, let's just get you home.

I was sober. That's sweet, Connor. Thank you. Thanks for being there. No problem. Anytime. My favorite thing about you is that you make everybody you're talking to

seem like the most special person in the world. That is why I think I could get it through the sorority range. Yeah. And you did. and I know you could. Thanks. Yeah.

That means a lot. Anytime. You know what's funny is I have... Greased through that. That was so painless. That was so painless. So painless. I have my goosies now.

Mm-hmm. Hair is sticking up on my leg. Okay, how about bouncing off of that one? Yeah. And then we'll go to something that is unrelated. Okay. First impressions of each other. Yeah, I like that.

Yeah. Again, my first impression of you was just like about the way you can speak. I was just like, I've never. I've never heard anybody that can talk so much and like so, so much and so well. Like everything that was coming out of your mouth, I was like, okay, that's like a lot of stuff that's coming out of your mouth. You actually, yeah, I picked them up from the air, hurt you and Kat from the air. Oh, and when I met you a person. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. I was just like amazed by the way you could speak and just like hold a conversation. Yeah. Because I had just never seen anybody like that. my life.

In a very good way. That will roll really well into a follow-up question too. And the first, when I first met you, what I, it was your legs that really took me by. Yeah. Just like, Connor has the best legs. That's my favorite thing about you, actually. Just like so like, like, like, like lean and like tone.

Like, I don't know. And you were wearing shoes. Yeah. When you can't, to pick me up from the airport. And then I was like, that's such a, that's so, that makes so much sense. I hate wearing shoes. Yeah. Well, thanks.

You didn't speak a single word when I picked you up from the airport. Really? Nope. Cat was in the front seat. You were in the back seat. Well, I remember because our friend Kat, Conor, we and me and Kat went to visit Connor. And I was like, Kat, you have to sit in the front seat because I don't want to sit next to Connor because I'm scared. Didn't speak a word.

Yeah, I did. No, like here and there, but like cat fully like totally normal. You were kind of like, I was like, oh shit, is Brooke going to be like a freak? because I didn't meet you in person until right then and then it was okay but I was Oh how long did that last? Until we got home but we were only 20 minutes Oh okay

But I was like I don't like car rides Yeah Yeah car rides make me feel sick But then we unloaded this stuff and I immediately I think I got you guys drunk Yeah I was fine pretty quick So that was that So I think you're up now

Oh okay I like this style because I get a second to like My questions Oh here they're there Oh, that's scary. I thought they delete it. They deleted. Okay.

This is a, huh? Nothing. This is a good one. It was asking me, have you ever ethically slash unethically clout chased or is it just a Connor thing? Yeah. That was a question for me. Oh, answer.

I don't, I was trying, I was, I'm asking you. Because I feel like if that had ever happened, it would have been near you. I don't think so. Because I think, by definition, cloud chasing is you're using, you're taking like you're using them for content yeah like should I go to this event so I can take a picture with this person and post it the people that I go I definitely freak out

about people and get really excited to see them but because like I'm genuinely a fan and I don't need a picture I don't need a picture I would like one just to be like but I don't need to post it right yeah so I would say no I'm trying to think and I don't think I don't think I do that

yeah oh that's interesting mm-hmm yeah good for you Um, how did you guys come up with the name of the podcast? I wish we had the... Oh, that is like really tough to explain. I wish we had the list of all the other names, because we were just, we were together and just like going back and forth and forth.

How in the world did Brooke and Connor come up with the name? Brooke and Connor make a podcast? I think it was we were trying to think of like, we were like, okay, what if we did like a movie or a book that's well known and just like played around with that name and our names? And then I literally thought of just like a movie that already had people names in it. Yeah.

Zach and Mary make a porno. And then I was like, okay, what if it's Brooklyn Connor make a podcast? And then that was it. Yeah. And then that was funny. I think it's really funny because it's not, we're not like part in my take or like,

uh, with all due respect. It's like all these things. That was gonna be it. Me and Connor way before Bergen Connor made a podcast, we're like we should do a podcast and we like zoomed and recorded it. And we were like, we'll call this with all due respect.

It was trash. It was so fucking bad. I think I still have. on my computer, which is so scary. I think you're up. Okay. Ooh, this is kind of like T. Okay, go for it.

But I don't think you're going to answer. A celebrity you met that... Oh, no, this is not T. This is reverse T. A celebrity you met who you thought was going to be not great, but was actually so nice. Do I have an answer for this? I don't know. I feel like you typically have high expectations of everyone. Not high expectations.

No, I mean, I could say, I could answer this question about influencers. Yes. Do it. But I don't want to because that means that I was expecting them to suck.

I don't think you're let me reframe. You weren't expecting them to suck but just like they exceeded your expectations. I still don't want to say because it just kind of

puts it in a light of me. There have been several TikTokers I've met that seem like giant douchebags online and then you meet them and you're like wow I could actually like

invite you to my wedding. Really? Really good dudes. I think you can just say it. No. You can context clues. People can figure out. But as far as celebrities, I don't think so.

Ashton Cochard was a bummer, kind of. But I can't think of like, yeah. I can't think of anyone. No, I don't have really any celebs that. I didn't, I also, like, people, someone said, like, King Conner stopped talking about Will Ferrell so much. No. Like, seeing him.

No. So shut up. But Amy Polar, obviously, was like, a blast. Like, that was on. no expectations for that and that was blew it out of the water what about you anybody that i think like i think every celebrity i've met i've been like there's just like it's crazy that they're actually people and they're so nice okay yeah no i think everyone's i don't think i've had a bad experience yet no i have i haven't had like a horrible experience i would say that

yeah the one the worst i don't think well i don't go up to people yeah unless i'm already like a such a huge fan. And I think I, yeah, no, they've all been really great. All right. What would you do in a zombie apocalypse? Just like immediately surrender. Like Hunger Games, you know how when you like rise up and you're about to like jump off the platform to swim to the cornucopia?

Yeah. And then it blows up if you jump off early. I'm jumping off early. Yeah. Yeah. Just like take me out. I don't have the energy to fight. I'm a hider.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh. But I'm also, like I said, I think I could maybe befriend that. what is that called Crohn's disease Prisoner's disease Stockholm syndrome

That's what I'd be really good at that I honestly think I could convince the zombies Hey man I'm quick I can go get That's not even what Stockholm syndrome is though Stockholm syndrome is it when you're abducted And you fall in love with your kidnapper So I'm actually not sure at all what you're referring to That could possibly be related to Crohn's disease

The Stanford experiment No I think I could befriend the zombies. Okay. As long as they're... As long as they're reasonable. You know? I'm not talking...

I don't know. I think that we could figure out a way to work together. I'm pretty quick. I'll go convince that guy to come over here. You're overestimating the zombies. Their ability to reason? Yeah. They're just like totally like out for blood and only.

Like they have no interest in being your friend. That changes things. then I'm going to hide, I guess. I've always been good hider. I'll be long gone. Rip. Can I eat your body? Yeah, permission granted.

Thanks. I'm 100% cannibal. That is an Army Hammer quote. And we'll be moving on. What was your next? Oh, I have another one. I have a follow-up. And then you find one and get ready to go.

Okay. If you had 45 minutes left to live, what would you do? Taking a nap. Yeah. I would do it. I think I would pace around Like I'm not enjoying those 45 minutes I would pace around and bite my fingernails

I would like watch a show And just like soak it all up and knit And just like do what I love and makes me Comfortable and my life I make myself comfortable I would not like everyone be like I call my parents I would not call my parents because my dad

Would be like did you figure out your health insurance Yeah No That's not how you want to spend your last 45 minutes left Connor I told you you really need an accountant And then I did die right yeah die full of stress all right you're up what's your favorite thing you own oh oh mama um i'm a really nostalgic object person i've always said like i think i'd be a really good minimalist

if i wasn't a hoarder so i like attribute a bunch of memories and stuff to certain things recently i've been getting over that which is good but most important thing that i own this is going to catch a lot of people really yeah go for it this is going to make a lot of people very scared okay I think that this is my favorite thing. My sister got a seal, like a snow seal, like a white seal, stuffed seal, life size for Christmas one year. And she was too young, so I stole it. Life size? Yeah, that's like big.

And it is like one of those. I guess I was thinking like our size, but I guess that's not the seal size. Yeah, I'm telling like one of those fluffy white ones. And I got it and I stole it from her. She was too young. Yeah, it looked exactly like that. It's so cute. Yeah.

And I still have it. At home. When it falls in between my bed and when I'm at home visiting, it's still all my bed. My mom still has it on my bed. And that room isn't even my room anymore. Why don't you bring it here to California? I don't trust myself because I lose stuff. Don't you want to be with?

Is it a boy or girl? Don't you want to be with Sealy? The brain was really working when I named that stuff. Don't you want to be with Sealy? No, because I know he's safe at home. My mom would never dare. My mom would throw away photos of like my. first birthday because she likes to keep things really clean she's like neurotic uh-huh that word came up

a lot so it kind of look now that one looks like a cheap knockoff of ceilie ceilie is like a really nice version looks real like if you saw it outside you'd be like what the fuck is seal like worn at all yes so ceilie has long plastic uh whiskers and i've chewed off almost 75% of them and so that is at some point i'll get Sealy restored. There is restoration for that kind of stuff.

I'm on that side of TikTok. I have like a chelner still. Yeah. I have that girl. No. It's non-binary.

They're non-binary. Yeah. Okay. They like, Seeley has never had a gender to me ever. Whoa. And I attribute

these human factors as an adult to Sealy. Totally. Which is great. It's not like a cuddle with Sealy. I'm just like, Sealy has his part of the,

they're part of the bed. My obsessive energy growing up was channeled into stuffed animals. Yeah, I understand that. Like, I must have had, like, 400 stuffed animals. I had a hammock in my room. It was just...

Whoa. Yeah, piled with stuffed animals. Not even rich, just, like, they can't sit on the floor anymore. What did you live in a rainforest cafe? No, I did. I lived in Pennsylvania. Right. Kind of, like, farmland.

Totally. Yeah. Speaking of Rainforest Cafe, oh, we had this phone call so long ago, but, you know, I collected frogs. Like, every kind of frog. Me too. In the garage, and then they died. Oh no, not living.

I did have... I had living frogs for six years in my life, two of them. They were just in my backyard in farm country, Pennsylvania, and so I had a terrarium that I would just plop them in, like, no, like... Food or water? No food, no water. And, like, they died, and that's when I learned. Weird.

That's so random. Yeah. That's when I learned, my mom sat me down and was like, if you love something, you must let it go. If you love these frogs, you need to let them go. I need to get... I'm going to text my mom after this. have her send a photo of these frogs that I said, bitch, if you touch these frogs,

I will end your life. Yeah. And they're in the attic. It's genuinely a fire hazard. Like, because my parents are in Texas and it's 115 degrees in our attic. And they're all, they take up a section of the attic.

I had frog wallpaper. We had a mirrorless come in and do my, a mural in my room of frogs. Okay, and you're making fun of me for the hammock? Not a legit mirror. It wasn't a good painting. You said mural.

It was a mural. Florida ceiling. It was all fraud. I had frog bedding. I had frog lights. I had frog rocks at the Detroit airport. Denver Airport in Detroit. They have a store that just sells rocks.

Someone carves these little rocks. I brought some. I have paper weights. I do in my house now that I brought back. Rog and towed books. I had the stuffed things. It was just incredible. I'm still pretty obsessed with it.

I love frogs. I had those fat. ones too those fat frogs real I never my parents never let me at real frogs yeah because of what had happened in the garage yeah yeah but like you they didn't give me the opportunity to do better well they should have had you I did the best I could with what I had you did the I was young I was like six that was I know that smelled crazy I don't actually remember the specifics just that if you love something you have to let it go my favorite my my my my

prize possession. I probably would give you three. Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot what. No worries. That was a good combo. Yeah. Yeah.

Give me three. Hurry, hurry, here. You think top your head. I have them. I already know them. My bad.

Yeah. My phone is like the, in terms of, like, that's the most, like, useful thing that I spent every day on and objectively couldn't really, couldn't really live without that. Yeah. And I'm like just,

I got a new phone and, and, you know, I'm really obsessed with the way it fits in my hand. And my phone case, by the way, is a frog. that says I'm going and saying anybody want anything. So my phone and phone case wrapped into one. That's one.

Two would be Hodgepodge. Hodgepodge is my stuffed dog. Oh, I was like the crafting material? No, Hodgepodgepodge is my stuffed dog that I sleep with every night. I've had him since I was, do you know him? You know Hodgepatch?

Yeah, I've seen him. Yeah, he's, I've had him since I was like five. He's pretty worn down. But I wouldn't want to take him to one of those restoration ladies because it's just who he is. And then my third would be like one of my knitting sweaters. Like if my house was on fire, I would pick.

I don't know which one I would pick, but it would definitely be one of them. I think maybe the Harry Seiles house. I think if my house was on fire, I think I would go down with the ship because I'd be trying to figure out what I should take. Did I tell you the other day? That's why you got to plan it out. Yeah, I need to think about that when I get home. I had a dream that I was panicking. My house was on fire. I could hear someone yelling, get out, get out, get out.

I can't find it. I can't find it, but I'm searching. I'm looking for it, looking for it. And then I find it. You want to know what in my dream I was panicking about finding and taking out of my house? Can I guess? Or will I knock at it? You can try to guess.

Was it the, what was that thing that you made us eat, me and Matt eat on here? Squidink. Was it a squid ink? Is it a food? Is it a stuffed animal? It was my T-I-84 calculator for some reason. Maybe because I failed calculators. twice in college and had to switch my major.

So that's why I felt the need to really take that with me. That's a total like stress stream. But bizarre. Like, yeah. Who's writing this shit? Yeah. It is brilliant.

That is a plot. It's crazy what our minds are capable of that we don't have access to. Who's doing that? I know. Can I borrow him for a second to help me with my stand-up? If I could touch base with my unconscious mind. All I know. I have so many things I want to ask.

All I know is fine dining and breathing. The name, the name. We need the name. What is that? SpongeBob. Oh my God. I completely forgot about that episode. Somebody asked me what our favorite SpongeBob episodes were.

Oh, what's yours? I mean, it's so lame. Okay. It's Hashlinging Sasher. That ties into the Halloween. Like, I love spooky things. Yeah. That is just like all-time favorite.

I mean, I think the second favorite also lame is when Squidward gets his hands on a crabby Patty. That's a good one. It's so good. That's a really good one. Um, my top three probably. Nematodes. Um, jellyfish jam. I was gonna say jellyfish jam.

And, um, that one where Sandy goes absolutely buck wild and do, because she needed to get all her stuff in before she hibernated. Yeah, the hibernation episode is really good. Oh, I also like when Squidward goes off to the retirement home. I love when Squidward goes to the retirement home. Yeah. That's a good one. Also I like when, uh, I also like Panty Raid.

Panty Raid's good. I also like when, uh, Sandy, I forget. I think Sandy's hibernating and she turned it into like, no, I'm dirty day. Yeah, dirty damn. SpongeBob's in there and he's like, Sandy, we should. I need a watch, a wallet, a water. We should react to an episode of SpongeBob for bonus content one day. Okay.

Is it my turn? Yeah, do like one more and then we can break into a part two. Okay. I have one right now. What's one thing that you thought you'd grow out of, but you haven't? Like my entire personality. Oh. Yeah.

Yeah. How about you? Peeing sitting down. You pee sitting down? Sometimes. It makes sense. I used to pee standing up for a really long time when I was little. I think that the world would be just like in general.

I think it would solve a ton of issues if everyone. Everyone just peed sitting down. Yeah. Who started peeing standing up as a guy? It's easy. I mean, like I get it. If I just am like going to a urinal, I prefer peeing in a urinal if I'm in public in my house. sitting down and being on my phone

in the restroom is pretty much top. Totally. Top thing I could be doing. I wonder why it's so normalized to pee standing up. I think I prefer being standing up in public

but in my privacy of my normalized. I would sit down to pee. Because you'd be judged for peeing sitting down in public. Yeah, I could write a thesis statement on peeing sitting down. I encourage you to.

Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, that's my answer. Do you want to do one more and then we can. Yeah, I can do one. I can do one. Okay. Do one more.

and then we'll take a break and reminder we're going into a part two of the mailbag for next week as well so if you liked this one you're in so much luck for next week. Good point. Are you ready?

I'm gonna, yeah, this will be a good one to end on. Okay. What's one, this, okay, this is kind of phrased weird. But if I could have, no. One part of each other's bodies you would switch with your own. So like what part of your body would I want on my body and what part of my body would you want on your body?

Your legs. You're going with my legs. I could have sworn you were going to say penis. No, actually, I wasn't at all. Interesting. Yeah, legs. Let me think. Probably, like, I want your eyebrows

because I want to experience what it's like to have eyebrows. That's a good one. Yeah, I'm probably say eyebrows. Okay. I'm so jealous of people with like these. I wish I had very strong. Less eyebrows. Like dark.

features on your face. Yeah, I've got those. I wish I had left of them. It's awesome. I would actually counter the legs. It would be legs, but then second to legs, it would be like your

skin. Inability to grow any hair at all. Your hair, but also just like the general smoothness, because like you just have good skin. It's just crazy that I don't grow hair. I got, you know, I got reamed on Instagram because of my armpits. Right, because you, like,

I had to start shaving my arm. armpits in third grade. I could not wait to just have hair on my armpits. I know. I know. Like, shave my body. And I just wasn't granted the opportunity by Lucinda. I wish there was a procedure for us. Yeah.

That we could. Hair transplant, but onto each other. What is that called? Hair transplant. Hair transfusion. Maybe we could osmosis. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay, well. All right. I think we wrap up after that. That was a blast. That was fun. It flew by. Yeah, and if you have any more questions that you want us to answer in later episodes,

you could email them to DearB and C at gmail.com. That's Dear B and D and D.C at gmail.com. And we could totally answer, add them to our lists and answer them. But as for now, we'll see you in part two next week. That's our show. Smooches. Smooches.

See you.
