Oh, really? Mm-hmm. Why don't you start then? Okay. Oh, wait. Let's intro. Okay. You do it.

I suck at it. No. Okay. Hey, Brooke. Hi, Connor. Are you ready to MAP? I'm ready to pee. Ignorance is bliss.

I'm living in a world of my own and it's awesome. Oh, I thought I was responsible for 9-11 when I was five. Where were you? In Pennsylvania. Touch grass, might I suggest. We're just going to dive right in today. Hi everybody. Welcome back to Brooke and Connor make a podcast and guess what we're doing today. You'd be shocked to find out. Many of you will be shocked to find out that we're making a podcast today.

Speaking of us making a podcast, somebody came out to me in Urban Outfitters today and said that they liked our podcast. And I am so, so, so, so, so awful at those interactions that I've learned like, you're supposed to like say, oh, thank you so much. What's your name to try to start something? So I was like, thank you so much. What's your name? And then they said their name. And I was like, well, thank you so much, Ernie. It was Daniel.

So you got your eyes done. I got my teeth crossed and my dyes dotted. Your dies odd. I mean, my T's dotted and my eyes crossed. My favorite thing in the world is when someone simply messes out, mixes a letter out. Yeah. Switches two words. What?

Remember that song, yeah, my pussy speaks English, Spanish, and French? No, actually. It was like a big TikTok. song. We can't play it on here, can we? I believe you that it exists. It goes, yeah, my pussy dog. It's by the city girls.

Okay. Brooke, you need to be on this because it's, it, the girls are hitting this, the girls are outside this summer. The girls are, for the, for the street, the girls are on the streets that's something, whatever they're saying. Are the girls on the streets this summer? What are you saying? Maybe that's wrong.

The city girls are up. That's what they say. Okay. I believe it. It means like, it's going to be like a fun. summer. I believe it. Spoonerism. I could put everyone on to something. Oh, okay. So the word, so basically the story that I'm telling you is there's a song by the, by the city girls, I almost called them the cigarette girls. The city girls, um, it's called pussy talk because the pussy talks English, Spanish and

French. Okay. Yeah, my pussy talk. We'll listen to it in the bonus. Okay. So you can like hear. It's basically saying, it's basically saying, um, my pussy's talented. It does cartwheels. Oh, I know that the pussy does cartwheels. Yeah, so sorry for the 14-year-old that DM just had to listen to the past two and a half minutes of that. But basically, I was trying to explain that song to somebody. And I said, yeah, my pussy talks, English, franish and spinch. So now we have this joke. We're like just randomly on friends who go, yeah, my pussy talks, spinch.

Oh, that's good. International. A little inside joke. Spinch. Awesome. Spinch. Spinch vibes. Well, I was going to put everyone on to something.

Just my new favorite show. That's not yet released to the public. Actually, when does this episode come out? It'll be out. This show will be out. Today's June 6th. Okay, I leave for Europe tomorrow. Yeah.

And then... This is coming... We're recording a week before. So this podcast is coming out. I'm having... Well, Brooke is overseas. Yeah. Serving...

While Brooke is serving cunt overseas. Yes. Her pussy talks spanish. Spinch. She had to take it abroad. I had to. Finally I get a laugh out of everyone today. Jesus Christ, I'm fighting for my life over here. You always get laughed. So this podcast is being recorded a week in advance, and that's why Brooke needs to put you on to the show, because it will have come out. They'll probably already be on it, though,

but then they'll have two episodes to watch. But as long as you know that I was on it before came out, that's fine. But this show is coming on June 8th on Peacock, and it's called based on a true story and I went to the premiere last week and it stars it's Kelly Cuoco is that how you say her name and Chris Messina who is Danny and the Mindy Project

who I just love and this show is so good they showed us two episodes I'm really excited because I haven't heard you talk about a show like this no because it's not my typical kind of show because it's not like because I usually only like very strictly like comedy

or very strictly like spooky. And this is actually a little bit of both. The premise of the show. Barry, by the way. Oh, is that both? I couldn't get into Barry really, but I only watched one episode.

It's good. We'll circle back on that. But the premise of this show is that these two are married and their marriage is like a little bit on the rocks and the wife is obsessed with murder podcasts and then somehow they actually involve themselves in a murder

and then instead of like turning the guy in, they decide to make a podcast with him. So is this literally only murders in the building? That's what I was going to ask. No. And I'll tell you why. Because this one has Christmasina in it. Well, this seemed like they were in a building.

No. And then there's a murder. It was their house. And then they start a podcast. They're not, they weren't directly. I think the murders may be a little bit different. They don't know. They're, and only murders in the building.

I haven't seen it. but they do not have the murderer as a part of the podcast, right? They're trying to figure out who's the murderer is. The murderer is the- Well, all of the suspects are at some point involved in the podcast. But I'm saying like there are two voices in the podcast, the husband and the murderer. Oh, they bring the murderer in? The murderer is the co-host of the podcast.

And they know he's the murderer? Yes. And instead of, they're not turning him in. Okay. No, I'm saying it's interesting. I was just trying to figure out what the difference was between the two shows. Yeah. And besides the lap.

I don't know why he hasn't been like a James Bond. Yeah. Like there's to me there's no difference between like Chris Messina and like who plays James Bond. Well, who's Idriselba's? Yeah. Like he should be one of those like Tom Cruise. Like we should see him in a top gun. Like he can just do so much more than we're letting him do.

I think that some people like to be type cast as like dad bod. No, he was also in air though. Like which is a very like he's in a lot of. He doesn't have a dog Oh, he was in there Oh, okay He's like pretty jacked I wouldn't know

But that's cool That's cool And I saw him as well Did not say hi But I did see him Yeah That's okay Because you have so much to the

This is actually funny I didn't see him at the premiere Even though he was sitting behind me Yeah Just because I'm short And he's short and it didn't work out Like eyesight wise But

How is he? Probably like 5-4 No he's not 5-4 Okay 5-6 Can we type in Chris Messina height. Now I'm so involved with Christmas Missina. You should be. A man who I didn't know existed until three minutes ago. He's probably... Oh, he's 5'7.

Okay, but that means 5'6, right? If it says that? No, that actually means six foot, depending on who you ask. And then I was standing right... Well, anyway, I'm jumping the gun. But I didn't see him at the main premiere, and I wasn't going to go to the after party, but I had to go to the after party because I didn't see him. I know how that goes. I know how that goes. And it was at the Chateau Marmont, which I've never been to, which is like a fun, like fancy place in West Hollywood. And I was my friend Megan.

And I said, Megan, can you please direct us via Google Maps to the Chateau Marmont? And we were getting like pretty far away from where I thought it was. And I was like, Megan, are you sure you're directing us to the right place? And it turns out she was actually directing us to the Chateau Marmot, the dog grooming building. But, you know, we had kind of turned around. And then... Good catch. Yes, good catch.

Got into the Chateau Marmont. And then I was like getting really nervous because, you know, I get a little bit nervous around celebrities, especially the ones that I admire and such. And we were practicing like, okay, this is what I'm going to say. And then I was like, Megan, no, I can't do it. I can't do it. And she's like, yes, you can. And this whole time, I look in front of us and I realized he is standing. Connor, if I had reached out one millimeter, I would have touched the back of his head.

Like we were behind him the entire time I was having the conversation with. her and then I sprinted away and then I couldn't get back to him because he was in like a circle of conversation the whole rest of the night yeah and I missed my one chance but do you think he heard you yes I do he might have been so self-involved that could be and also like he might have thought I was talking about someone else maybe probably not I think maybe after you you've gone to a premiere of the show that you're the star of and you're at the after party and it's I don't know how much you hear just in general. I bet it was a bit of a blur.

Right. He was like when I was like looking at him like he was in the middle of a conversation right in front. I mean, not so much looking. I think you're fine. Yeah, I think so too. And also it would matter if you heard you. I kind of agree. Yeah.

Yeah, but I never got to say hi. But he seemed, you know when you can just tell someone's the greatest guy. Yeah. He totally has that vibe. That's so good. Anyway, you really have got to watch this show. Everyone gasped when the lights went off. And the second episode was over.

gasped. You watched two of the episodes? Yeah, they showed us too. See, I just realized with you talking about how good this show is, that's the point of us being invited to those premieres. You're right. You're right. Because the whole time, I'm like, why, why am I, why do you want me here?

Yeah. To do this. Yeah. Eureka. You should feel, that actually makes me feel good. Yeah. And you should think, like, oh, I belong here. Because I'm doing, I, as, people listen to this pod.

I know. As, I'm going to watch that show. It's on Peacock, by the way. Yeah, it comes out June 8th, which is awesome because I'll be on the plane. Can you download shows from Peacock? I don't know. I wouldn't know. We'll find out soon enough.

Well, I am going to, I'm looking forward to watching this on Thursday. I can't wait to hear what you think because we never like the same thing. So I really hope you like it. I'm trying really hard to like something. I don't see how you wouldn't. Downloads are available for select content for Peacock Premium Plus. I don't think I have premium plus, but I'd get it for this show. That's it.

Well, I'm sure that there's probably. a trial period. And get this. I didn't reach for my phone once. Wow. That's huge. Wow. Phone level, zero.

That's the highest compliment. Couldn't be me. Couldn't be me. Yeah. No, I swear. I am going to get Apple TV or Apple Plus or whatever it's called. What's it called? Apple TV?

Apple TV Plus? Yeah. I don't know why all the names of these things make me gutterily feel sick. We have premium peacock. HBO Plus. Now it's Matt. I'm officially on my own too because my dad deleted everything that I was a part of, HBO, Netflix.

I have to get my own Netflix. I have such a guilt complex that my parents are like, oh, we're good with just Netflix. I was like, oh, you have no idea what's going on. So I signed them into all of mine. So they're on my payroll because I felt so weird that my parents were like, they had no idea what else is out. there. Well, I'm just like my dad knows what's out there and is choosing to get rid of it.

What could you possibly be watching then? You don't have Netflix, HBO. They ended up being obsessed with Ted Lasso. Oh. I never watched, did you? I watched the first season and I was like, this feels good. Feels good on my heart. And then the next few seasons got worse.

I don't know how to explain it. I thought it was good. The last season? I thought it was good. I thought it was good, too. Oh. Okay, well, I'll piss everybody off here. Next, Succession.

I love Succession. Besides select episodes, that show is... That's something I don't know if I'd like it unless everyone else liked it. Yeah, you wouldn't know. I wouldn't have to be watching. You know what I was shocked to find out? Because of how much hype it got the show, I was like, oh, it must be Game of Thrones level viewership. You know, their final episode.

had like 2.8 or 2.3 million viewers and Big Bang Theory final episode had 19.8 million viewers. No, I didn't know that. That was their, like... That makes sense, though, because there are a lot more, like, suburban families watching TV than there are, like, people who want to watch accession. Based on my timeline and, like, what people are talking about in my little pocket of the internet, I assumed it's one of the biggest shows ever. No, it's so crazy realizing that like, there's a lot more beyond your pocket of the internet.

Whoa, not me and Mr. Beast seeing eye to eye. I don't know. I have nothing, is it? I'm all for, like, having people like what they like. You can't push TV on me. And I don't try to push TV on other people. It's so funny. Like you and I feel like most people are like,

if something's really popular, then you're like, has, intent to accept it. You know, you're, I'm the, like, if something's popular, I'm like, give it to me now. I need to be like that so that I can relate to people on the internet. I don't know. I literally don't know what people are talking about. I don't know if either way is

good. I think there's got to be. Well, when people are talking about Shiv on the internet, I'm thinking someone got stabbed. Right. The whole time. Yeah, I get that. Um, I, you can also just, like, do research and know what people are talking about watching the show. Like, just know that Shiv is the sister. You think I'm going to opt for research over sitting

with my eyes crossed watching TV? I recently have just been reading the plots of shows on Wikipedia. Like filling in the gaps for the Good Doctor House. Like I just read all the plots and then continue to watch the clips on TikTok. I understand where you're coming from only because I pause shows to figure out where they were filmed and where I know that I'm on IMDB the entire time I'm watching a new show. Love the Good Doctor. I will say Barry, the new season of Barry is really good if anyone's watching Barry. I want to because I love Bill Hader.

Bill Hader is Has to win something. Has to win something. His acting is actually uncomfortable to watch because it's so good. Who would have thought? From Oklahoma. Wow. He's from Oklahoma.

Bill Hater's from breaking news. Everybody, Bill Hader is from Oklahoma. Someone else is from Oklahoma. Where's James Marston from? That wouldn't surprise me if he was from Oklahoma. He's, yeah. Ryan's from Oklahoma. I think James is from Oklahoma or something along those lines.

Oklahoma Wow Yeah Yeah Why do you know that I've been doing some Some field work and whatnot

On James Pussy Talks Marsden I told you the other day He can sing He can act He can dance Oh he's a theater kid I told you

Yeah I said he's a theater kid Right Yeah During the club I should recommend him That playlist That's been recommended to me You should

And I'm sure you guys Will cross paths soon Just based on track record Oh my God I'll freak I think So what was I going to say?

Oh, I really want to watch Platonic with Seth Rogan and... The way you say that word is always drawing. Platonic? Yeah. Plotonic. Platonic. Platonic.

You always say platonic. You always say platonic. Oh, sorry. Platonic. Platonic. I just have to say it faster. Plotonic. I need to see Plotonic.

It's on Apple TV. Plus with Seth Rogan and Rose Burns. They're always a great duo. What else are they good? Neighbors. Is that a movie? Yeah, neighbors one as well as two. starring Zach Neffron and Dave Franco.

Yeah. As well. Oh, my God. Went to dinner the other night? With Dave Franco? Dave Franco is sitting table next to me. With Allison Brie or solo? I didn't even notice.

I just figured out who Allison Brie is. You know what movies? Wow. Is she an actress as well? Yes. I just saw an interview with her and him and I was like, oh, she's funny. Followed her on Instagram. Oh, you know the influencer Alison Brie?

Who is she? She's an actress. What does she in? Community? A bunch of movies? I just think I know her from a movie. She's in that one with Jason Sadecas, seeing other people. Guys, please, let's look at her IMDB and tell me which of these movies you guys really think I would have watched.

How do you not know who Allison? That one I will speak up about that. Yeah, she's pretty huge. So sorry. Although I can only think of her from, what movie did I just came out of my mouth? Neighbors? No. That one with Jason Siddakis.

It literally came out of my mouth four seconds ago. Sleeping with other people? Yeah, sleeping with other people. That was great. How to Be Single. Have you seen How to Be Single? No. Get Hard.

I haven't seen that. No, I don't believe he was with Alice and Bree. That's great. I was going to say, you know what movie is actually really good? That kind of, I think, went under the radar. But it came out a while ago. Disaster Artist. No, not in my world.

I think everyone was talking about disaster artists. I don't remember anyone talking about it. Hi, Mark. Oh, hi Mark. Oh, hi Mark. Hi, Mark. That movie, it's like so good if you watch it again now. It's probably better.

Yeah, I would love to rewatch that, actually. Guess who's in it? You'll die. Who? Nathan Fielder. Guess who he sits next to in the theater? Zach Ephron. Did you ever think that those two would be sitting next to each other?

Zach Ephron? Does he have a house? He's everywhere. He's everywhere. I look. I think he lives in Australia at this time. Down under. But I don't know.

You know, like, most high-profile celebrities have, like, a full-time residence abroad in New York and in L.A.? It's probably tax reasons. I guess. Yeah, he lives in Australia. Power in Bay. Hmm Shout it to Australia today Where do you live currently

Oh I actually did something pretty bad the other day What? Um I'm hesitant to even say it Well we can always We can cut it I'm not going to say who But I was reading an article

That was like this Celebrity's house is At this address So I was like Okay I live right by there So I drove by it Because I didn't have anything else to do

And then I was like Really looking at it hard and then I realized that there was about 15, 105 cameras looking back at me. And that was it. And I'm on that celebrities. Yeah, I'm on that celebrities. Yeah, no, it's awful.

I really think that that person probably has like a photo of me in their house. That's like, do not let this person. It is, I'm sorry, but then I... Don't let this person in my house. But then I googled it after. like that is very legal. Like it's a public house, on a public road.

I was just looking at it. It's like going on the house tours. I didn't even take a picture of it. I was just looking at it. I'm not going to citizens arrest you. And I couldn't even see it because the hedges were so big, littered with cameras.

Well, in the same vein, I was on a run yesterday. Yesterday. It's weird how we're coming into, we're paralleling today with just like sightings. And I see Little Dick. in his garage and I go that's not a little dicky I look and he's looking back at me

and I was oh that is little dicky and I just kept I kept jogging you know where he's from Philly I do know that because when Benny Blanco came over to cook with Hank we were talking about Philly and Dave is Benny Blanco from Philly no oh good friends with Dave though yeah okay well we have so much to talk about today we I saw I I want to talk about my trip a little. Oh, talk about your trip. Well, I just will tell you where I'm going. You'll be, yeah, you'll be on it when we.

I'm so excited. When this airs. Yeah, you should be. Because I've never been to either of these places. I'm going to London. Have you been? London. London. I haven't been to London. But the whole reason for this trip originally was me and my friend Kaden.

Love this book that's really long and depressing. It's called A Little Life. And it's a play on the West End in London. So we were like, okay, let's go. to London and see the play. And then both of us are like not like big planner. So we kind of were sitting on that. Like yeah, we're going to go.

We're going to go for a long time. And then without ever doing anything. And then our other friend Alexa was like, no, I want to go and I want to make it a big trip. So then she actually got us to book it. So we ended up booking London, Geneva, Switzerland, and then Portugal, Lisbon and Lagos too. And then.

Can I ask why Lagos? Because it's the beach. Like a very beachy town. Isn't, I don't know. Are you thinking of the African country? Yeah. No, so we're actually, it's, we're not going there. We're going to the one in Portugal.

There's two La Gai. The log, one Lagos is a city in Portugal. Okay. And one is, that's cleared it out, thank you. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, okay. No.

Gorgeous. Hey, enough sad. Yeah. Gotcha. So then we booked all that and then we went to get the tickets to the place sold out. Yeah. I'm sure you could find them there like you find tickets here. We did end up getting them, but it was like a month and a half of like, oops.

So yeah, that's exciting and that's four and a half hours long. So we're doing like a tour of a vineyard and then immediately going to that. You're going to be, oh, so you're saying you're going to take a four hour and a half. Yeah, I fear because it's like very like slow. Yeah. So that'll be something. I didn't mean vineyard. I meant pub.

You're doing a pub tour? A pub crawl tour. You're bar hopping. I don't know. We're going to a play. We're going with Patrick will also be in London. What are you on the show? Euphoria?

I don't know. I don't know. We're going with Patrick's family, so I don't think it'll be like crazy. Yeah, we're going on an opium tour and then watch. We're going to watch a Marvel movie. Yeah. Yeah.

So it'll be cool. Should be interesting. Yeah. And I'm really excited to go to all the knitting stores. Sure. And I think that I'll probably be able to see some cool people in London. Here are all the celebrities off the top of my head that I could see there. Tom Holland, always walking around.

Harry Stiles will be there because he's playing at Wembley. I'll miss him by a day. The 1975 will probably be walking around because they're playing in Manchester when I'm there. Andrew Carfield will probably be there as well, filming with Florence Pugh as well. Did I say Tom Holland? Yeah, yeah. Did I say Harry Seiles? Yeah.

You got them both. Cody will be there. Cody, K? Cody Co. Right. Who, like, Paul, Mescal. Right. And, you know, London, I think, is small, and they're kind of just walking around all the time.

London's actually one of the smallest cities in the world. Really? That's what it's now for. So I think fingers crossed that I see one of them. Mm-hmm. You're being sarcastic? Yeah. It's huge.

Okay. I had no idea. But I really think every team. Someone goes to London, they see someone fun. When you said cool people, I was like, yeah, people in London are so cool. No, I'm talking specifically about people that I am fond of in the media. Maybe we have London fans. If there's anybody from London that wants to hang out with Brooke, hit us up.

Yeah, I'll be with Tom Holland if you need me. Yeah. Took Pussy Talks English. English. Yeah. English. English. Can you say English in a British accent?

English. English. You have a good British accent? No. I have a terrible. Oh, because it goes... I tried so hard to get an Australian accent down, and now when I do British, I think it's like a twang.

You go first. Well, there's also tons of different kinds of British accents. Okay, just do like... I don't know what's what. I don't know what's what. Well, it doesn't matter. Give me a sentence to say. What?

Do we both need to clear our sinuses before? So we get a Museneck sponsorship? I can't believe we never heard from them, by the way, after we sucked them off for like half an hour. I don't think we were sucking them off specifically, more so a meme centered around them. Professor Muccas. Yeah, Professor Muccas.

The best branded mascot you have. Okay, why don't you say, I can't wait to eat dinner tonight? You go first. No, you have to go first. It's so hard. It's fine. I can't wait to eat dinner tonight.

That's great. I'm not going to be even close. I can't wait to eat dinner tonight. That's Australian. That's Australian. It's not even. It's nothing. That's why when I tried to do that TikTok of doing James whatever's last name from Fanderpup

Rules on my TikTok, I had to just believe, I can't get his accent down, but as a joke in the video. Because I literally couldn't do it, and it was ruining the whole thing. I guess that'll be part of the joke. Yeah. I can't get it down. I don't know. That was a good Australian accent, though, if that helps. Well, it was like when I used to be good at British accents,

and then when I tried to learn an Australian accent for a TikTok, I couldn't do the Australian one because it sounded too British, and I couldn't go back to the British one. Oh, I'm sorry. So now I'm just this dumb hybrid. Well, I'm sure you could learn. Maybe. Yeah.

Okay, should we do what we came here to do? Let's do what we came here to do. We... Oh, and I'm also going to Geneva, Switzerland. Oh, cool. I don't know what I'll do there. For probably the Geneva Convention.

Probably the lake. And then Portugal. I don't know what I'll do there. I'm more excited. I think I'm most excited for London. London is very cool. Yeah. I could live there probably for a time.

Well, I'll let you know shortly. Yeah. What I think. I'm sure I want to live there as well. It's cool. When the weather's nice, it's very cool. But I can definitely spend some time there. Lots of fun in London.

Really? Oh, yeah. How long did you live there, is he? Oh, when you were abroad. Yeah. Three months? Yeah. Right.

COVID. Yeah. I'm excited. It's a fun little city. Sorry. I'm leaving tomorrow morning for Idaho. How long are you going to be gone? I'm going to be on until Sunday and then I leave again on Wednesday to go to Maui.

Whoa. I didn't know you were on a month. Mowley. 30th birthday. Oh yeah. Yeah. That'll be so fun. I'm excited.

Weird. There's no plans. It's kind of nice. I'm really excited to just like sit. Yeah. You know, I've always wanted to go to Hawaii. Right. Right.

Well, enjoy Portugal. Thanks. That sounds awesome. And the Geneva Convention sounds great. I've always wondered what they do there. I'll let you know. So that will be such a treat for you. Thank you.

Um, here's what we came here to do today. Yeah. We asked everybody to submit us in Fice, questions and am I the asshole questions and we got a bunch we had such an overwhelming amount that it's giving me like Catholic guilt knowing how many are going to sit in there that we're not going to be able to get to so I'm going to take it upon myself to figure out a better way to are you Catholic my dad is okay so genetically yes yeah genetically I am Catholic is that is Catholicism

through the dad it could be either because I know Judea's is like through your mom. Yeah, so was penis size. I thought it was baldness. We've never claimed to be a science podcast or a religious podcast. But we cannot go one episode without talking about Christianity or Judaism. Yeah. Speaking of the devil.

So we had a bunch lined up. We have a bunch lined up today. And I can, I have a bunch screenshoted. I couldn't get to them all. Straight up I couldn't get to them all. And we are not going to have enough time to cover them anyways. So sorry if you wrote in and we don't get to them this time. But we had such a huge demand.

That's exciting. In just 14 hours that it's several episodes worse. So maybe we figure out a different way to answer some questions down the line. But here we go. I'm just going to open up with, sorry, let me find a good one to start off. Okay. time. Some

That seems like a good one. Funny. Okay, do it. Okay, we'll start out with a funny one. This is from Tony. I know a lot of people ask to be anonymous. This person did not. Hi, besties.

I was blow torched in the face by a club bouncer who thought the blowtorch was an infrared thermometer shortly after COVID, and I didn't. So imagine being like this, like, and being like, oh, like. There's no way. Oh, well, I'll continue. And I didn't see the bar because I just felt like it would be rude. What was the damage? It was in East Nashville, and it was a small business, and I'm not going to say the owner's name.

Susan really, like, really did not mean to give me a third-degree burn on my face. In fact, was, like, so close to my eye. She was so sorry, literally started panicking and crying. and saying, you should sue me if you want to. And I was like, okay, right now, babe, it's time for the first aid kit. And she was so prompt. And she was so prompt with it.

She even offered to pay the stuff I got from the drugstore that night for my burns. Yeah. Which got extremely ugly in all caps. But it never fell right to completely ruin this small, cute-ass East Nashville business. And when I was ultimately unharmed, my skin and hair grew back.

Oh, my hair. I guess I'm wondering if you think I'm ridiculous for not suing the fuck out of Susan and her establishment. Some tall, dark, and handsome rushed over to me from the street and helped me up when I stopped, dropped, and rolled though, and I was really starstruck.

Literally a hero, and so was my BFF, Magdalene, who just watched all this happen and remained calm through it all, she my rock. So this is the opposite of it might the asshole. This is my too much of a... Do you think I'm too nice? Yeah.

Do you... Uh, that's a tough one. That's a tough one because that's Catholic guilt. I know for a fact we would both do the same thing. I would not. We would not ever make contact with anyone there again. Also, if the person was mean, I'd be like, ah, I like, I still don't want to. Oh, see, that's where I might differ.

If the person was mean, I would go after them with everything I have. Maybe, yeah. Maybe. So I think that this is the right move and I think that you have a really good head on your shoulders. What is your name? Tony. Tony. Because I feel the same way.

Yeah. I'd be like, yeah, it's funny. It's a funny story, kind of. I would not have done anything either, unless that they were mean, which doesn't sound like they were. I want to know. I would probably be apologizing to them.

If she felt so bad, I would also feel so bad. No, no, no, no, no. No, you're good, you're good. Tony stop, dropped and roll. Yeah. I wouldn't, would you remember to stop drop and roll in a moment like that? No.

I wouldn't, I would, I would, I would be hitting myself with that. I'd be smacking my head, myself over the head. Me too. I'd probably bury my head in the, and like them on fire. I also loved that Tony had remembered that some tall dark and handsome had run up to them. Yeah. And they were star-struck.

Well, their face was melting off onto the concrete. Yeah. That is a fantastic story. And I don't think that... Yeah, I think you did everything right. I don't think. And let me use your words. Do you think...

I guess I'm wondering if you think I'm ridiculous. So am I ridiculous? No, I think you're normal. Like, I think that's what... I think most people... would probably do that. No? No, I feel like most people would sue. I think that, I feel like recently

we've gotten very sue happy, very trigger happy with the lawsuits. I don't, I'm thinking of my friends and I don't think any of them would sue. There are many people like setting new precedents for lawsuits right now. Okay, but when you think of somebody who's like starting lawsuits all the time, you think of like, that old woman you

hit and claim she has whiplash even when she doesn't. Gwyneth Paltrow and the guy that ran into her wall skate. Yeah, you think of that guy. Like, oh, I'm going to cash out in this situation. Which Tony could do. Yeah, you have every right to. It's just like, do you want to go through all that? I think we can just come to the conclusion that Tony's just like a good person.

Can you imagine picking up a blow torch and thinking it's a thermal? Yes, that's the thing, Ryan. I fear that I could see myself in Susan. They are, they are, they are, they look the same. They look, I mean, like, if it's dark out, out and you're a bouncer and you're reaching behind you while you're checking someone's ID and you got the blow torch. I mean, at least you're not in L.A.

Because if you hit someone's lip fillers with one of those, like that would be a blood bath. Oh my God. Yeah, they're. That's an infrared thermometer. Oh, sorry. I thought that was the, I thought that was the blow torch. No. I mean, they look, they look really.

And that's a blow. So I could see. I could see. I could see it happen. I could see. I can't, but I also could see myself doing it. if that makes sense. I could see making

it a little tough the distinction when it's dark out. I can't really, but I guess I just if I put myself in the Why do you have a blowtorch out there? In the blowtorchers.

What do you have a blowtor? Probably to trigger like the heating lamps. Like the heating lamps or I know people that use those to not really smoke, I guess. I don't know. I would have also not sued. Moral of the story.

Anyways, yeah. agree. I think you're right there. Wow, I just got a crazy throwback on my TikTok that I can't say on the podcast. Okay. Okay. A lot of these are in several parts, so I just have to spread them out, all right? Yeah, no worries. Okay.

Hang on, there's one that was sent in. And this one is interesting because this one brings up a lot of points. Okay. Am I the asshole for getting pissed about our buddy inviting us to play a round of golf with his dad than getting pissed when we had to pay $120 each? So this person, here's a story, night of we're celebrating my buddy's birthday and he invites a group of us to go play golf with his dad and brags about how it's going to be free and free getting drinks the whole time. We wake up for the tea time. We get there standing behind my buddy and his dad in line and his dad specifies that he's only paying for himself and my friend. and these people are in college and they're already there and they have the tea time booked and everything

the dad buys himself a pair of $200 golf shoes in front of us and then we all paid for ourselves. I know that I should not feel entitled to have my friends' parents pay for us but it was odd to be invited on such an expensive outing as a college student and expected to pay for ourselves. After we finished

my buddy's dad and took us out for lunch somewhere we obliged he put his card down on the table and when the waitress came he clarified that he was only paying for himself and his son. I know it's rude to be to expect things being paid for but it was a really expensive day and I just made things really awkward. I'm not holding anything against my friend but am I the asshole for thinking his dad is an

asshole? No. No. Did you have that and first of all? They were bragging that it was free. I think that the son was probably like hyping the of the the dad that who has the membership like you can't just show up to a lot of golf courses that require you to be a member. to get a tea time.

So maybe that was the end to get the tea time. But I guess he understood it as like, oh, his dad's taking his golfing. He said that all the drinks were going to be free at least. He didn't mention if he paid for the drinks or not, whatever. But that is like not an absurd thing to think that you're a college student. You're probably not working full time. Even if you are working full time, spending $100 whatever dollars on golf as a college student is not like feasible. Yeah.

I would have been surprised if I was asked to pay in that moment. I've been in situations like that where I was just like, oh, wow, okay. Yeah. Like I'm not doing anything with this person ever again. Like in college especially where I was like, we had no money. And like I had one thing happen with one of my college roommates where the mom got up and walked to the waiter and was like, I'm just paying for these two. So it wouldn't be awkward. And he came over even though she took us to lunch.

Yeah. And I felt the same way. And we all felt the same way. Yeah. I would hate to be the parent that was like being talked about like that too. Yeah, it's just uncomfortable, especially the older you get. Like it becomes less clear like when you go out with a friend's parents. Like should you even say something?

Like I get nervous. Like if I'm going with another friend and their parent, I always feel uncomfortable being like, I'll have MO you or like, can I split it with you? Yeah. It's just like everything gets more uncomfortable the older you get, I think. But I think in college, I would probably think that a parent would pay. for me. Not in an entitled way, but I'll just like,

in a way that that's usually how it happened. Yeah. I'm trying to think of like a parallel. Obviously girls can golf. But yeah. I'm trying to think of a parallel where like if a girl's mom was in town college weekend and invited a group of her friends

or two or three of her friends to go do what? Like an activity. Yeah. Yeah. Or like get nails done or something. Like the mom was like taking them to get their nails done. How about laser tag? Or laser to go play softball catch.

To go. some pop flies with that person's mom. Yeah. I don't know. I can't think of anything. What do girls do? Like, whatever you do. You're not going to play golf.

I just like, I am. Okay, so, okay. Going to the range. Mini golf. Mini golf. Would you expect the mom to pay for the mini golf course? In college? Yeah.

Yeah. I would. I know. Now I would be like, no, no, no, please. I don't pay for my food. I can pay. But I'm also not, I'm not going to fight you over this bill. Right.

Take it. I think now, yeah. You've had 68 years to make enough money. Yeah. Take the bill. It'd be dumb for me. I'm just getting started out here. I know.

It's just always such an uncomfortable thing. You're catching out your 401K and I don't even know how to access mine. I think you cover this burger. Yeah. I mean, I, fuck this dude and his dad. I'm mad at him. That's annoying.

And that's uncomfortable. I know. No, it's hard to talk about it without seeming entitled, but I also would be confused. I'm feeling entitled because they got invited to play golf with this person's dad. If it was like something, I don't know, something. I think the golf of it all also makes it like weird. I can't think for some reason for the life of me. Can't think of any other activities.

Well, it also is like kind of weird. God, I got to tread lightly a little bit. But like when the parent is clearly in a position where they have a membership at a country club and like have the means and it's just like even though you know you're not entitled to it still yeah i mean you do need context for these sort of things did you have any friends in college this is insane this is like an insane person situation but i had friends in college who i knew for a fact had parents credit cards and then they would and then they would and then they would and you know they were making money they were it was going to their personal vimmos i knew that they weren't paying

for it and then they would that was their livelihood because they'd they'd offer to put their card down for a dinner or whatever and say it's like i don't even know how much it would be maybe a hundred dollars or whatever they put their card down they make 80 but if there's five people yeah 24 to 60 80 bucks on that dinner yes there's always going to be one or one or two of those it's so i know that i had i had people that did that where i was like okay i don't even want you to offer to pay for anything because i don't want out of spite, I don't want you to make any money off of me for no reason. Yeah. That's bad behavior. It's bad behavior.

Consciousness behavior, I think. Okay, let's go to another one. All right. My ex-situation ship moved to New York City and I happened to be going there next month. Should I hit him up or should I close that door? Close it. By the way, he's like 10 years older than me. Okay, block it.

I don't know. I kind of like that. I wish I had more context of how long you were going to New York City because if you're going there for the weekend and you want to have like a New York fling, that's fun. Well, I guess, yeah, I guess we literally have zero context. Why did it end? We don't know.

What was the nature of the relationship? There was an emoji that was blushing in like this. Oh, so maybe, I don't know. Like, it depends also how you feel about it. There's something fun about a city flang. Sure. Yeah, I think of like if it ended fine and like there's no sort of like bad blood or toxic It was a situation ship.

Okay, but some situationships are really toxic. Yeah. So if it was not that, then why not? Situationship's confused me because, like, what, are you stuck at the bottom of a well? Why do you mean? You have to date each other. What are you talking about? Situationhip is like we're dating.

We're like seeing each other because it'd be weird or rude or, like, uncomfortable not to. I'm like. Or I think it's just like either party is like not ready to define. it for whatever reason. I think that's just love without labels. I don't think it has to be love. I don't think it has to be. I think when I think of situation ship,

I think of mostly like a girl who like wants more and a guy who doesn't. Oh. Well then you're going to like this next story. Okay. So what do we think for this person? We don't have enough information, unfortunately. This one is long as crap.

Okay, do it. So I'm going to just try to read through because there's a lot of content. This is from... Good. More context the better. This is from a man. So this one's going to take a second. Hey, Brooklyn Connor, long time listener, first time DM her.

I'm pretty sure I'm the asshole here. Self-awareness. But just going to have you guys weigh in as I'm as well. I'm a high... Jesus. I'm a senior in college and I started dating a girl about a month ago. I made it very clear that I didn't want to get into anything serious and we continued to see each other. Took her on dates and nice dinners and we hung out at the bars and at parties.

We also went on a trip to Vegas with my fraternity. We were having an amazing time and we're getting... getting along really well. One night after bar, she came back to my place and asked me if I wanted to be exclusive with her while we still have the time left until we graduate. I panicked and said yes, and I probably shouldn't have because I told myself I'd stay single for the rest of the year. Continued to hang out. Went to a festival together and music festival was a big deal and I had a bunch of friends coming to town. I was also super stoked for the festival. Even before I knew she was coming because all my friends were going to be here. Then at last minute she got a ticket and I was excited to

introduce her to all my friends at the festival. Um, this is when it gets a little gnarly. I have a feeling I'm going to get angry. At the festival, she got there a bit later than me. And by that time, this is, this is a lot. I don't even know if I'm just going to say it. And by that time, I had already taken a good amount of Molly and mushrooms and other stuff. Okay.

Like, what other stuff? By the time she got there, I had already been rolling and I introduced her to all my friends. And we went to go listen to some music, we were dancing with all my friends. And I was starting to peek and whatever. on and she told me she was crossed and needed to step out of the crowd. This was weird because I had only seen her drink like a little bit of beer. I'm not judging her or calling her lightweight. It was just weird how quickly

she went from sober to buzzed. I had never seen that before. I took her somewhere away from everyone. She was crossed? It means like you're high and you're drunk. Oh, I thought it was cross faded, but I guess cross is just short for that. Very cool. Less of a word. I took her somewhere far away from everyone

else when she said she had to throw up and stood blocking her. holding her hair back and telling her it was going to be okay when she was bent over. However, I never saw her throw up and when she was trying to pull trig and there was nothing coming out. She was really getting in there. I had seen, this is so caudged because I love the descriptions. He's like, and guess what? I had seen her pull trig with ease in Vegas the weekend prior.

He's like, I've seen her full trig. Oh, so she's accusing her of being a liar at this time. Yeah. Okay. Her friends came over and kept telling me that it's okay and she'd be fine in 20 minutes. Then I asked her if she was good to wait it out at the festival or if she wanted to, or she wanted to get a lift home. She told me she wanted to go home.

So I told her friends that I would get her home safe and they thanked me. Well, this was happening. One of her friends whispered in my ear, we trust you and she loves you. Oh. Obviously this was a bit. Oh, obviously this was a bit of a surprise for me because I had only known her for a couple weeks. we took a lift home and I brought her to the bathroom to keep trying to throw up. She continued to dry even.

Then after doing that for about two minutes, she popped right up like the most sober person I've ever met, tucked her hair behind her ears and told me she was fine and that she wants to go back to the festival. This whole situation creep me out a lot because in my head she was trying to see if I would take her back to her apartment and care for her to see if I was trustworthy like a test. I know that sounds crazy, but if you saw the whole situation now, she was acting before and after, you would think the same. No, that's not what happened.

it's so clear to me what happened do you know when she was saying she was fine i wanted to go back to the concert i was in shock i thought it was weird we kept going out after that i had kind of thought something was fishy and my guard was up a bit at i invited her over to my house after the bars one night and when we got there my friends asked me if i wanted to post game i asked her if she would want to go and she didn't want to so i told her that i only have a couple weekends left in college and i wanted to go she was upset about that so i decided to finally just be like i don't think that this is good time for us. She stormed out and we officially ended things in the next day. And she said it'd be best

if we completely cut it off and didn't see each other romantically for the rest of the year. She also ripped me a pretty bad one over the Tex and talked a lot of shit about me to a bunch of people who also know. Am I the asshole? Yeah. I think so. I think what had happened at the festival was she got too high.

Because I do that all the time. Panic attack. Or it's like I'll get really high, not realize, like have a few sips of alcohol, like not drink and then freak out. shove my whole fist down my throat to try to puke because I'm having a panic attack and I think like I've been

like drinking or whatever but it's just the weed and nothing comes out because you're not drunk you're just having a high panic attack well like he's only telling us that he feels this way it's not like he didn't take her home

or he would... No I know but he's like freaked out that maybe she was like making that whole story up so that she was testing him or whatever I don't think he's a asshole though I think he's just like am I I think a better question here

would be like am I overthinking this. I think you're for sure overthinking that first part. Like I think she just was having a panic attack because she was high.

And then I think he got in his head about that and then started freaking about that on top of whatever else happened and then kind of just like impulsively ended it on top of the fact

that he didn't really want to be exclusive with her to begin with. I think that that is we could have stopped there where it was like I kind of like I jumped into a relationship

and I probably shouldn't have I think you could probably stop that. So I see I think all of her actions make a lot of sense to me and are justified, I think that you panic towards the end. And it just, like, is what it is. And, like, you have to accept that, like,

she's going to be pissed and talk shit about you. Like, I don't think you did, like, the most egregious thing. But, like, I think that you got a little sloppy at the end, panicky. He'd seen her pull trig with ease and I guess. Trust me, I pulled trig with ease thousands of times and then get too high and then can't. Yeah. So it's like, it happens all the time. Let's go back to the festival.

Yeah. I think, I don't know, that wasn't meant to be. I don't think your heart was in it in the beginning, so. 100%. I could have avoided probably all of it. Right. All right. Here we go.

That was like a lot. Hello, Brooke and Connor. I'm in dire need of some advice. I, male 19, am gay, prefers weiner. Due to this inconvenience, I find myself in many of predicaments. Most recently I've begun to develop a crush, actively obsessing slash falling in love on a coworker. As I'm writing this, I'm laying on my stomach, flailing my legs back and forth over my back.

Aww. He is actually stupid, like really dumb. But how cute is that? Anyways, work has become very difficult since he suddenly became cute. He could not be any straighter, but in my defense, he listened to Taylor Swift before.

Right. That's where it gets dicey. At work, we are often asked to pick a partner and when we are dispatched, when we are dispatched, and there have been countless times he's picked me to go with him.

So he's obsessed with me? What I'm going to ask you guys is how do I go about continuing to work with him without making things unbearably uncomfortable whilst also finding out if he might like me back? Love you guys. That's just so hard if he's like not out. You know?

I'll just say from like a work crush perspective, it makes, there's like the, this distracted, this is like the weirdest thing I've heard to say that my old boss told me this, but my old boss told me you should really try to find a work crush because it makes coming to work so much more fun. It makes waking up every day, worth it. I'd say keep at it.

I'd say, yeah. Like, have it be a crush. You certainly, certainly don't want to get your feelings hurt and then have to go to work. Yeah. I would just leave a little bit up to the imagination. Yes, totally. Definitely

don't make a move or something once you're dispatched. You know what I learned recently? Dispatch. I wonder if they work in like the medical field. Definitely don't make a move while you're while you're, or maybe you're a firefighter. I can't think of anyone else. You can just have a crush and leave it at that. Yeah.

Like sometimes, like, that's hard for me to come to terms with. Like, usually I want to, like, you know, make it, like, so that I'm the only person in their lives that they'll ever feel comfortable coming to. Sure. You know, but sometimes a crush can just be, like, a crush. And it doesn't have to be, like, the most intense, like, kill yourself over it experience.

Yeah, don't kill yourself over this. Yeah. Just like have a crush if you can keep it at that. That would be great. It's so fun. It sounds like it's like in a good space right now. Yeah. I don't know.

That's tough though. Totally. You also don't want to date someone you work with because just like one of our next story is coming up. It only ends one of two ways. And one's really bad. Marriage or divorce or death? Death or divorce.

Maybe there's a couple options. Like even if this worked out and you date or whatever, you either break up or get married. Yeah. Isn't that scary with everyone? Yeah. And if you break up, like, you're going to go back to work. Or you die.

Or you die. Those are the three options. But we already advised against him die. Mm-hmm. So. Yeah. Mary. Yeah.

I'd say keep at it. And then die. Keep at it. Yeah, I think don't advance it. I think, especially in this specific situation, don't advance it because you just don't know. Yeah. Try to keep it at the exact level it is now. Yeah.

That's so almost. I just say that's impossible. Yeah, it's tough. Yeah, it's tough. Yeah. I hope that helps. Try to balance it by finding new icks. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Or get rid of the crush completely. How? Yeah, icks is a good one. Like, you have to just ick yourself out of it. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know.

That's the best I can offer. I don't know if it was you that said this the other day or what, but do you, do married couples get the ick? I ask that about if parents get the ick towards their kids Oh no I don't mean that I mean like let's say we're married Like am I still getting am I getting the ick from you Like or is that just yes or or it does marriage mean like you just like married people You hate each other brook

No I think hatred is different than the ick No but like it's it's I think I'm speaking I'm not married I'm not whatever but I'm speaking from Like it's like it's like a permanent roommate and then you have to you have sex with them as well right so like think about a roommate like everything starts to bug you eventually about them and then like i think that's different than an ick no an ick oh yeah okay an iq would be like ew right and it could be like like watching them go down the slide and you're just like ew yeah like like i think honestly marrying someone means like you just you resign oh ryan do you get the i don't personally ever

ever get the ick from my wife. Yeah. That's the only answer that is appropriate. Let's clip that. Let's clip that and get that to it. I honestly think that marrying someone means like, no, no, no, no. That's setting a really unrealistic standard.

I don't know. I think I think icks will come and go and then they become beige flags. Oh my God, the ick to beige flag pipeline? Yeah. I think like there's a thing that you hate and then it's like, like, you doofus.

Yeah. Okay. I don't know. I'm guessing. Yeah, I don't know. That's the thing. I was asking you. Fuck if I know, Brock. My pussy talk, spinge. Yeah. Okay.

Am I the asshole for ghosting my longtime guy friend who recently asked me on a date, took me on said date? We had a great time, texted me every day for two months, and then told me he wasn't and has never been interested in a relationship with anyone, let alone me. What? What? So she's asking if she's the asshole. I would say, wow. What?

I would say, wow. That's when I would get like nasty. And I would respond to be like, whatever made you think I would be interested in you for one second. Like I would get really mean. For the two dates that we had a great time on. I would get really mean.

No, I think that that is a ridiculous question to ask if you're the asshole. And I actually would not have included this one because it's so ridiculous. If you had you know. I didn't read the last sentence, I guess. Yeah. But no, you're fine.

You are A-OK. Yeah. That is your name. Okay. All right. Anonymous. Am I the asshole for not wanting to be around a coworker who smells? No.

I think that's normal. I'm going to give more context, but no. Yeah. I, 23 years old, male, work with a coworker who's 50 years old female that smells like sweat and B.O. every day. That's hard. It's gotten to the point where her being. in the break room, which is a small, mind you, which is small, mind you, stinks the whole room and turns my stomach.

No, you're absolutely justified. Now, when it starts to become an issue where her body, her choice, certainly, but when you start, it starts to affect others in a way where that's almost a biohazard if you're, if you're, if you're getting sick, that's bioterrorism. If you smell. Can you get sick from like the smell? Brooke, I have been in. but like can you actually get like a no virus oh from a smell from a scent yeah i don't know because i and i know

this is like an exception because i was probably going to throw up anyways but i was hung over in an uber and he smelled like roadkill and i was like oh i'm gonna yak like this is and i had to get out of the car yeah and that impeded and then i got out and i was like oh i'm fine i threw up later but i was like that was actually like an that was that was an impediment on my day like I was not about to I was not able to go about my business because of the smell no I agree I sometimes I feel bad for people that smell and then sometimes I'm like if like it depends if they can help it or not but like if you're making the choice to not put deodorant on or not take a shower think about the context of the breakroom you have to start thinking about other people like it stops becoming people are eating like an option this is

this is where they go to rest to have a break. They're eating in there. You can't make a smell an odor with food. You can't. Going there to rest and sit down and eat, this is not conducive to a work environment and

efficient work. I would not be hitting the round running after that ghastly odor entered my nose. And I'm not breathing through my mouth because then it goes in through my mouth. Yeah. And even though I can't taste it, I know it's there on top of my tongue. No, I'm hearing you. So I am giving you advice right now. You need to go to an upper and say, I know who

I know who this stinky bitch is and we need to take her out. No, we have to, you have to go to someone and say, and if you have any allies with you on the floor to get a class action against her and go and write an anonymous letter or talk to a higher up. That's one of my favorite quotes from the office actually now that you mention it is when phyllis keeps farting and michael's like sitting out on the floor for one day and michael's like what is that smell and someone's like oh it's phyllis like she sent out an email like she's on new meds and and michael goes no that's geological one of my favorite that's one of my favorite quotes yeah that's a little stuff like that people don't know just about the office that's the reason yeah no that's geological brook and con i love you first off

Thank you. Second off, should you reconvene with a friend who ended horribly a few years ago, or should you just put it in the past? More context, please. That's it, and I respect the succinctness of this text. However, I agree. I can't answer that. Yeah. The only context we have here is horribly in all caps.

Yeah. I truly can't answer that. I don't know whose fault it was. I don't know what happened. I don't know if that you've changed. I don't know if they've changed. I don't know anything, unfortunately. I'll say I'm in a period of my life where I have the most beef with it.

I've got the most beef right now currently in my life that I've ever had in my life. Oh, my God. I feel the exact opposite. Oh, we're reverse cycle sinking. That sucks. But I'm all for the beef squashing, especially long term, to go back and be like, this doesn't matter. We're wasting so much time. We're harboring so much hate in our heart for no reason.

I'm tired, y'all. Yeah. Could be my cirrhosis, but I'm exhausted. I would just, I need to know what happened. Um, yeah, we do need more context with that. I would say, lay it to rest. I can't think of anything anyone could do that I would be like, I will never, ever speak to you again. Oh, I could.

Really? Yeah. I can't think of literally anything. I mean, like, if you killed one of my family members, I need context. Why you killed them? For me, like, if you, like, said something really, really, really mean about me, I would, I would never talk to you again, probably. We're on different things. Yeah. If you, if I read your text and you had something awful about me,

I wouldn't talk to you again. Easy as that. Okay. So, I don't know. I guess we need more context there. All right. Yeah. Talk about me. Just don't let me see it. Am I, here, well, this is a good one to end on. We're going to end on this one, all right? Am I the asshole for not commenting or liking a friend's Instagram picture when they specifically asked me to. Like I would have liked it if I liked it. It makes me not want to. Ha ha ha. I do that.

Guilty. Telling people to like your stuff? No. Not liking it. Like if someone sends me something and it's like, can you please like this? That pisses me off so much that it won't like it. Hmm. Like one of your friends?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's tough. I always wonder, I've never been like the person to like post a picture of someone for their birthday. like happy birthday to the best friend like I'm not I've never done that and like I have had friends since like having any amount of following on Instagram being like can you post like something for me and I'm like I don't do that oh no that's a way different story I've never done that I know but like asking

to do something on social media but she's just asking as like a general person to someone to like and comment on it no she's asking like if somebody sends you one of the their post and says, can you like this? Yeah. And then she doesn't like it. Does that make her a bad person? No, I think it's annoying for someone to be, can you like, to say, can you like this? And I would have liked it if you didn't ask me, but you asking me annoyed me. Oh, you, oh, you messy lady. Well, you know, I get annoyed by most things. Yeah. So I don't think, no, I don't think you're a bad person, but I think you're like me and it's just like you don't need it. It wouldn't kill us to just like it,

you know. But I'm with you. Being said, being asked. to like something now you're inclined to not. Yeah, I just like, I'm like, it doesn't really matter that much. No, it doesn't. Right, it doesn't. And I end up teaching you that. There's actually a good inside Amy Schumer skit on this.

It's pretty funny. Very cool. The Inside Amy Schumer skits on YouTube are super good. Let's go to the bonus. Yeah, hey guys, we're going to bonus. That was really fun. Yeah. Well, I think we'll figure out a way to whatever, keep doing that.

Thank you guys so much for listening to Brooke and Connor. a podcast. I'm Brooke. This is Connor and we'll see you in the bonus or next week. Bye. Tata. This week on close friends. These girls, there's a reason why their Pussy Talks English, Spanish, and French. Do you want to do Pussy because it is two S's? I want to do Pussy. Okay. We'll do Pussy for 500. The machine that sets the pins at the bowling alley is extremely dangerous. If you slide into the pins as a joke, there's a good chance that you'll be crushed to death. I could see you doing that. I just love the idea of so many bowels and a ton of. system. Don't.

Don't try it. Also, when I got arrested, they didn't read me my rights. And when I went to my lawyer, I was like, they didn't read me my right. She was like, that's only in TV. No, I think in 21 Jump Street, they are actually like, they have to let the guy go because they didn't read him his rights. So that must be true if it was in 21 Jump Street. Yeah.
