I feel great. Are you okay? No. Yes. Okay. Are we recording? Okay. Do we need to do any warm up?

Yeah, I think I could use a warm up. Okay. Say it with me. Ready? Yeah. Wait, warm up's a good idea. I'll say Keith Urban loves Nicole Kidman. We'll say it all at the same time.

Ready? Okay. One, two, three. Keith Urban loves Nicole Kidman. Keith Urban loves Nicole Kidman. Keith Urban loves Nicole Kidman. How do we feel? Worse?

Much better. Yeah. Thank you, though. Okay, great. Hey, guys, welcome to Brooke and Connor Make a podcast. Happy Halloween. We went all out. We have one of our spookiest guests that's ever joined the podcast today.

One of our dear pals, Alex Earle. Hi. Alex, thank you so much for coming. Thanks for having me. I'm really excited to me. God. My roommate, Kristen, is always listening to BNC, so it's always been, like, blasting throughout my apartment. I'm sorry. No, no, it's great. Really? So I'm happy to be here. Okay, I'm glad. Thanks for having me. And this is so fun. This is the Halloween episode. This is the Halloween episode. And obviously, you came in dressed up and Brooke and I had to go to our costume drawer, our costume barrel and dig stuff out. I was stressed out that you guys were going to have prosthetics on and I was only going to have a witch hat.

We had that conversation. We were like, I can't, we can't be fully, you know, I can't be in a bald cap with all of these, like, growth. test ears and nose is attached to me. And then us just be like staring at you the whole time. And the prosthetics are hard. We talk about prosthetics all the time here. And you're getting prosthetics. I'm getting prosthetics tomorrow and I need to know the process. Well, I...

Where? Can you say? Like, where are the prosthetics going? On my face. Yeah, like... Doing the Cheshire cat. Are you guys coming to the party? Here's the thing, Alex.

What? I don't know if you know about my personality. but I want to. Okay. I might be tired. Okay. We'll wake you up. Okay.

And I also just had a baby. No, you don't. Doesn't she look good postpart? Yes, I did. No, you did. I did. This is fake. No, no, I know this is fake.

You're talking. I mean, he's a, yeah, he's a cat. Oh, okay. But he is a baby. Okay. Yeah, so I am a new mother. I don't know. You can bring.

You can bring. I was going to ask, like, is there a spot for a litter box at the club? There's an upstairs part, yeah. The cat. Okay. Maybe we could do it like a brand deal with litter robot. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Okay. Then I'll think about it. But I do really want to go. It's just a matter of exhaustion. It's Friday, right? Yeah. Oh. Tomorrow, right?

Today. Yeah. Yeah. I got to go to Atlanta, you guys. I got to do some shows in Atlanta. I'm excited about. What time? Yeah.

In the afternoon. Atlanta's as far as New York City. The flight is just as far as New York City to get to Atlanta. It's across the whole country. Atlanta. Georgia. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Well, no, I didn't know either. I'm about a geography. There's another Atlanta. I thought Atlanta. To me, I thought that was a state. No, I don't know. There's another Georgia. I never know when things are a state.

Yeah. Yeah, not to bring up military, but one time when I heard that there was a war and I was hitting Georgia, I said, that's here. How far away? I'm looking at Georgia. I'm like, that's two states away. I'm in Texas. Like, what's...

Is there a country? The country of Georgia, yeah. It was the country of Georgia, which I learned because once someone told me that I look like I'm from Georgia, like Georgian. And I was like, I don't know how to take that at all because I was thinking the state. But it's, I think it's in the Middle East. Oh, yeah. I had no idea. Like next to Turkey and stuff.

Yeah. I knew I was going to learn. No, the thing about this podcast, it's okay not to know that Georgia is a country and a state. It's a safe space to learn new things. And we learn things all the time. Okay, great. But Atlanta, that's an American. That's going to be one we get in trouble for it. Yeah. So when did you get in?

The day before yesterday? Day before yesterday. Are you jet lagged? No, I don't usually get jet lagged. I feel like I'm just... Do you experience being tired? I do. But like, I don't know. In terms of everyone always asks that with like, I don't know, things are exciting. Yeah, no, that's a great mindset. And I'm someone who, like, loves to nap. And I'm always, I always get a little nervous.

I'm like, maybe sleep when you're dead kind of thing. I'm not a napher. But I also love to sleep when I'm alive, too. So I don't know. They need to induce, like, a small underground experience, coffin style, just, like, induced coma. I have always called, induced coma. Called die for a sec. Just a minute.

Die for a minute. We're going to induce you in a coma. You're going to take the best nap of your life. You're going to be out like a. a rock. Yeah. And then we're going to bring you back. And do snap time.

But would like putting you out like that catch you up on sleep? I think that you probably wouldn't wake. Like I don't think we have, I don't even know if we have that technology. We do. People get induced in comas all the time. That's called anesthesia. Yeah. Yeah.

But do you dream an anesthesia? I think that's a great question. Have you ever been in it? In anesthesia? You ever had the anesthesia experience? Yeah. when I got my wisdom teeth out, are you guys, are you guys both with wisdom teeth?

No, I'm with. You're without? I'm without. I'll tell you in a second. Did you pass out? Yeah, they gave me the anesthesia, but they didn't give me enough. So I woke up early. Did this happen to you?

And like, I was awake and they were in my mouth. And I kind of was like, wait, I'm getting my wisdom teeth out. But like, I could see their hands and deal them in my mouth. I was blown. I was wondering anyone else in the world. This didn't give me enough. As ever experienced this, that's great. I literally was sitting there, and I'm like, hold up.

They're in my mouth, you know? And then I felt you could feel them in your mouth, you know what I mean? Like the pressure. And the thing about wisdom teeth, I know everyone's asleep when they get their wisdom teeth out. And this is going to be a lot. So just like. Constance, my hands are going clean. T-dubs, like disturbing.

Wait, I don't like this. They don't just pull the two-thes. They break it out in pieces. Okay. I'm watching these teeth come out of my mouth. and I look down and they're putting them just right on my chest. And they're like, you're doing so. I'm just conscious.

You're doing so good. And I'm like, why are I here? Why am I apart? But were you out at one point? I passed out after. That's laughing. Like, that's twilight anesthesia. So you're not fully under.

Oh. I think my mom, who's just like, an anti-medic freak was like give him. And she also never let me take any of my painkillers afterwards. She was just giving me, just telling me it was my pain meds, but it was Advil. My mom's like that too. My mom's like, let's take as least as possible. Crazy. I was like, why am I stealing so much pain?

Because they said these were good. And she's like, I have no idea. Well, do you know, like, some painkillers are just, like, four Advils and one pill? Yeah, but she's giving me one Advil. Okay. And just the Advil. One Advil is, like, a damn tick-tac to me. Yeah.

I always get stressed out about Advil and stuff. Like, I'm always apprehensive to take it. Unfortunately, I'm too comfortable. I don't know. Like, I just am always, like, I'll just do it without. I don't know. I'm like that, aren't I? I'm like that.

Yeah. Because my mom has absolutely brainwashed me and not taking pain medication. It's like stare at the sun for a little bit and your headache will go away. So with, you said you don't do jet, or wait, did you want to talk about wisdom teeth or does you, I was going to say jet lag. I think I'm done with wisdom teeth. I think I think I think I must be too. I appreciate that out. I'm like looking around the room and everyone was like this.

Stop. Are you one of those people that's like jet lag is a mindset? Kind of. Oh, no. But like, no, not like all the way. I did get jet lagged when I went from Paris to L.A. And I was kind of out of it. But I mean, I feel like you can adjust pretty quickly with some coffee.

Are you a coffee drinker? I'm a coffee drinker. I need like three cups. I'm on my second cup right now, which is why I'm kind of having like a mini heart attack and my hands are sweating. But I wanted to be able to speak on here. You drink through that. I slept not just to make this whole podcast, I mean, I slept so good last time,

I never was wondering. But I was trying to watch this video that's like calm down and fall asleep. Because for some reason I was just like, my eyes were just open. And before the precursor on the YouTube video was, come on down to Old Navy and shopper, back to school must have.

And I was falling asleep saying that to myself. And I woke up, first thing in my head, I don't think I opened my eyes. Come on down to Old Navy, shopper back to school must have. And I can't stop saying in my head the whole rest of the day. And now it's transformed into that TikTok sound. It's like, oops, got your clit.

Come on down to old Navy. No, I can't stop saying, oops, got your clit. That's a good one. Wait, have you, was it like ASMR? It was, it's these bineural beats, which is like hurts and it's like frequencies. Bineural beats. My roommate that did a lot of shrooms in college really believed in these binaural beats. And then I was like, well, there's got to be something.

something to it, but turns out, like, I think he was just fried. Mm-hmm. I don't think there's anything to it. I've been doing sleep ASMR recently. What's that? Brooks doing that. Like, on TikTok? Well, I've been putting on squirrels and birds with my cat, so I've been falling asleep to, like, chewing on nuts and...

Chewing on nuts, if you will, and birds chirping. Oh, my God. Yeah. I kind of like, like it. The chewing, that would drive me up a wall. Oh, do you have mis... Misophon. Yeah.

So does he. Really bad, but not with ham. Not with animals. Like I think that people who slurp or chew, even with their mouth closed, like if you have a cavernous mouth and like it echoes even with your mouth. Who doesn't have a cavernous mouth? A lot of people don't. A lot of people have little petite mouths and you can't hear when they chew.

Is cavernous mean big? Yeah, like they're chewing and I'm like, I can't even tell you to chew quieter because your mouth's shot. Like you're doing your, you're doing your badam bass spot. Don't mind me scooting to the other end of the table. Yeah, no. Out of putting myself first, you know, like I have to protect my piece. Now, when a person does that, right? or when they squeeze a water bottle or like when they're drinking out of it.

Oh my gosh. And they go like this. So you're describing. The liquid is coming. The liquid is coming. You don't got to sip it. It's coming. Gravity works.

No, the crunching of a water bottle. The crunching of a water bottle. I know. I'm not talking about you directly. You are. I was just, I had the weekend with my dad and he does all that. And I think he does it now because he knows it bugs me.

Now, when you're talking about chewing nuts and it's a squirrel doing it, preparing for a long winter. Or if it's my dog eating watermelon and you're like, I'm not even to do it. I want that. I want that to be 60 minutes long. I will say it doesn't bother me as much with like dogs and chewing.

I think it's a little bit cuter. It is. It is cuter. It scratches like an itch. Like the people that watch Trisha Padas and it's like it scratches an itch on my brain. I want Trisha Petus as a dog to start a YouTube channel. That would do it for me. Yeah.

Call me crazy. Yeah. I used to have to go to therapy though because me and my mom would get. fights for her gulping water. They were like, you have an issue, Connor. Like, this isn't everybody else's problem every time we have a meal that we chew and you can't deal with it. I'm like, I wish I wasn't like this. No, family dinners are brutal.

Or any dinner. I need a beta blocker to have a meal with you. You know, like, I know it shouldn't bug me. I hate that about me. And you know what's really bad is I'm probably the worst. Like, I do it myself. It's very much, it's very much, what's it called when you don't like when someone else does it, but you do it? Hypocrity.

Yeah. Hypocritic. I was trying to think of that, but I couldn't think of that. I was stuck. I had that word right away, ready to eat. I almost said heterosexual. Speaking of heterosexual, are you bi-coastal? What?

Wait. You kind of. I got a place here. You got a place here? Yay! Do you like L.A.? I have been so obsessed with it, but I think it's my commitment issues now that I have a place here. Now that I have a place here, I'm like,

like New York would have been so much better. Well, okay. But I do like it here. I just think it's like I'm scared of being lonely. Yeah. Because all my friends are in Miami. Right. In New York.

Right. Well, luckily, LA has some of the most, LA has some of the most real, down-to-earth, trust-worthy people. Yep. In the world, they're so real. That is the, if that ain't the damn truth. Yeah.

Yeah. Like. Yeah. Do you guys think it's hard making friends here? I think that I think the issue is that people like I think it's no I think you can make really good friends here I think the issue is that it's so spread out

like people call this is a Robbie Hoffman quote what LA's a city because it's big it's not a city at all are you eight years old it is like five separate cities that they call LA so if you I live in Venice and Brooke lives in West Hollywood that's 45 minutes away and we're fully long business it is huge and that's with no traffic so if I like need to go there

for a dinner or something I need to be in an Uber or driving by 4.30 if it's at 7. If I'm going to get there in park, which is just your whole day. So people talk about like if you have a, if you have a doctor's appointment or a dentist appointment or a meeting at two, go ahead and cancel all your other plans for the morning and the afternoon because you're not going to be able to make anything. No, but like that doesn't bother me as much because I feel like I grew up. My high school was 30 minutes away from me. And then Miami's not as big as here, but it also is like going out to the clubs would be like 30 minutes away when we were in college. So I feel like I'm like pretty

used to a drive. It doesn't bother me as much. But some people, they hear 30 minutes and they're like, I can't go. You know you have 30 minutes. What? Is that another sound? You know you have 30 minutes. Nobody? Let's move on. Yes. No, I get it. So, good. I get it. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. I know. But is it hard to make a sound. I don't think I initiate. I don't think I had the right enunciation on the sound. I don't think anyone do it? Can you do it? Is it hard making? You know you have 30 minutes. You know you have 30 minutes. Okay. You know you have 30 minutes. Is it? You know you have 30 minutes. is it hard making friends in L.A.? Really?

Yeah. A little bit. I think it is because, well, I don't know if it's hard making friends in L.A. or it's hard making friends as an adult. I think making friends is an adult. You can't do. I mean, I guess you can do playdates, like go and get a coffee, but it's just, it's not the same. Yeah.

I think about that all the time. I'm like, if I didn't have my friends from college, like, how would I make friends? Like, I moved here with, like, I knew Connor. Like, we moved. We lived together. So like I knew him and then through him met a lot of people. And if I didn't know him, I don't know how I'd have one friend. Yeah.

Truly. No, it is weird. And people ask me all the time or write into my podcast and they're like, how do you make friends? And like, I feel like it has to be more so like you're going to like a workout class together. Yeah. It's like you can't be like, want to hang out? I mean, you can. But like, it's scary.

Like people do that. Like people will do that to me all the time and they'll be like so friendly and kind and be like, let's get coffee or like let's do this. And I'm just like, I don't want to. But I really have respect for what you're doing right now. Yeah. So I think that that's what you have to do. Like, I really respects your hustle right now. But unfortunately, I'm all hustled out.

I'm not in the market. Right. I already hustled. It is hard when you, like, have your friends to make new friends. I thought about that, too. I was like, should I be making more friends? I think when you feel content with the friend group you have, like, you're not closed off to making new friends. But, like, if the right person comes.

Right. There has to be that spark That initial spark on impact I'm like And it's also fun when you're like I could see this person hanging out with my friends You know Until they start hanging out with your friends without you

And then you have to find it You have to kill them with a gun Yeah I have Okay I have an LA question Yeah too about friends Because this is just like

The craziest concept to me But like do you ever get people that are just like Oh do you want to collab Like not like hang out It's just like collab When I first moved here yeah It was really really really tough. I, so I've seen like, I don't know, you see people like making TikToks or videos

together and like I'll hang out with someone that like also is on social media if I feel like we'd be friends and I like them. But like I would never hang out with someone just to like make a video and this girl DM me the other day and she seems so sweet. But she was just like, hey, I'm in L.A. Like let me know if you want a collab. And I see her like making videos with other people and I'm like, this is weird. Like this is like do you just hang out and you're just like, oh, okay. You're on a collab show. But like you don't like, what do you? You just you're not hanging out. You're just making videos.

Right. It's a work. It's a work opportunity. But that's so weird. I agree. And I don't think I could do it. I don't want to collab. I don't want to collab.

I don't want to. Like in general, no, we're not looking to collab right now. Thank you for your interest. I also think that those videos, like when you see those people doing those videos, in comparison to people hanging out with their genuine friends. Right. It, it fails. You can tell that it's personal.

Yeah. You can tell it's a collab. Totally. Yeah. Yeah. Looking for genuine friends. I would just be too awkward to collab like that. Like what do you do in the camera turns out?

I think like I also would never be able to say like would you want to collab with me like sure there's some people I'm like would love to make a video with you but like let's hang out yeah and then if the camera comes out it comes out yeah I had a similar situation to that that we can we can offline about it's really funny I've started using just the word collab to reference like hooking up and having sex like did you all collab last night yeah yeah that feels better to me yeah than using it for its original Calabbing with body-on-body collab. Yeah, you don't even have to spend it. You can just say collab. Yeah. Yeah. I want to know if you guys can see how much I'm sweating. I'm just kidding.

Well, you're wearing leather. I'm wearing something that's totally breathable and I'm soaked. The scarf is really not. No, I'm still clammy. Adding a layer that I wasn't prepared for. Deodorant was. I want to know about EDM. Oh, God.

I want to know about EDM. And that's going to sound stupid. But I saw that you were talking. Oh, someone reposted a video you made about Dubstep and was like, I scared the girls last night because Duds Step and EDIM, this is a lesson Brooke is going to learn

as we talk to each other. So Brooke is staring as if we have now started talking in French. I love learning new things. My friends are laughing because I'm the wrong person to ask about this. I love this stuff, but like, no, no, I just like, I don't know where I am for a lot of things like movies, actors, anyone famous.

I feel like I'm out of the loop. Listening to music too. Like, I don't really listen to music a lot of the time. I see you listening to music and I see your wick. I love going to like a festival. But like if I'm driving in the car, I'm usually like in dead silence. But EDM is like the genre and then like dub steps like a subgenre. Yeah.

Okay. So like it's a type. Right? So I went to, I've gone to a couple shows. I go through phases where I'm like this is my new life. I went to snowlob. I went to sleep. I'm not even like a, I'm not even like, I need to go to sleep right now.

It's too late. I was like, oh, I don't, these are like people, these are special ops. These are Navy seals out here and they're going to stay up until 8 a.m. in this forest. At 1 a.m. I go, oh, no, my legs are, I can't feel my legs. I have to go home. But then John Summit has entered the chat with Subtronics. And Subtronics made a video with I have perils. Is this upronics a person?

Ooh. It's a DJ. Or a genre. They made an, yeah. He made an, I have purse at it. And he played it at, what's the Miami music festival? Ultra. Ultra.

He played it at Ultra. I was like, this is a joke because it was just this huge audience. And I was like, that's my voice, you know? Are you there? No. On site? No. Oh, I was a bad.

But. You guys should come to Ultra. Yay. It's actually the best time ever. It'll change your life. I'll hold Brooke in a. baby Bjorn and her legs and arms will be out like this and we'll... I'm telling you, even if you don't like this stuff, you'll like it.

It's just like the most friendly environment. You'll feel so safe. Yes, totally. I'll be there. No, no. You have to go. I will. I've been recruiting people all year.

I will go. I'm so open. I'm a yes man. I just said yes too, so me too. I'm holding you to this. I came out to that new song that Septronaugh-onist and John, I almost said John Mayer and Subtronics. Subtronics and John legend.

What's his name? Summit. Summit. Summit. I'm doing it again. Holy shit. Sumtronics. What's his name?

Subtronics. And, uh, Honor's been having a- Summit. Summit. Summit. What are those like little? I'm picking the scarf off.

Scarves gone. What are those like, a TBI? What's that? Tuberculosis. TMI or something. TMI. No, something in the brain glitch. We need to call it.

We need to call it right now. We're not going to get anywhere. What? Someone's like, he's glitching. I'm like, I'm having like signs of early onset stroke. Yeah. So don't worry if he glitches. It happens.

One guy commented, everyone laughing. He having stroke. Wait. This stresses me off. Finally I have an ally. It's me anxiety. I'm fine. I just like,

I get fanning about people like passing out and freaking out. So I always have to bring food with me. Like I have hard boiled eggs in my purse right now. Oh, that's a girl after my own heart. Just in case anything goes wrong. So. If you need a hard-boiled egg. Let us know if you eat.

I'll swallow a whole like a hungry boa constrictor. I was coming out to my last show when John and Subtronics came out with slow down, grab the wall. Gas pedal. And I'm like, you know what? I'm going to switch it up. I usually come out pretty chill because I know I'm like, I don't want to like, I come out to that one. I'm feeling really good. Boop, bo, bo, bo, bo, bo, bo, bo, bo, bo, I'm coming out.

I'm coming out. And I got on stage and I go, I'm so. sorry. Like I don't want to set the expectations in this room. Like I'm going to somehow be able to live up to that song. I'm, I don't have a single joke that's going to, that I warranted that song to walk out too. Do you know what I mean? Wait, you were on stage? I walk, yeah, for my, I'm on stand-up. We had actually thought you were out of old-tar or something. And I was like, I was actually at a comedy club with 350 people. And I came out to that song. actually like a lot of people were like

what? And you chose that song? I chose it because I was like let's like really kind of like come out and have fun and like get the crowd you know they're singing and they're having Cabernet and and and and Tiramassu like they didn't really need to hear septronics right then with the base all the way up so like lesson learned you have to try new things yeah that'll never do that again I would have had better luck coming out to John Mayer like waiting on the world to change.

So what's your song now? I've been coming out to Dare, the Dare, Girls by the Dare. What's that? I like the girls that do drugs. The girls with cigarettes in the back of the club. Yeah, that kind of makes more sense for me. Yeah. Do you like any songs that have words in them?

Like what's your go-to? I know. I prefer for them to have words. Yeah. Or a little bit of words. Slow down. It's supposed to like. Oh, I guess EDM has words too sometimes.

Sorry, I'm nasty with my wand. It does. It does have words sometimes. There's some that are more like, house music that's just the beats which i feel like you really have to be in a vibe for personally i like words though i like when i'm going out to like sing and dance yeah what about like a song that would be on like hits hits one radio station like Sabrina carpenter yeah like do you listen to just i love Sabrina carpenter yeah yeah okay okay i love Sabrina carpenter yeah she's really good

and i want to go to her talk i like her i do too it looks really good i kind of was like oh i like this song and then I was like oh I know every word to this song I would and then be a pop star I was like do you really you totally totally I can't sing you you couldn't do the short and sweet tour you'd have to do like the tall and if I could lip sync the whole thing I would do it you could you totally could it's been done okay it's done I lip sync all my jokes on tour I just say watermelon over and over again you could do it you could do dance uh she does dance she just posted a dancing video Sorry. I used to dance.

Try to keep up. Try to keep up with Alex. I will try. I have been keeping up with Alex Earl. I've been obsessed with your, like, the great thing about you is your, is a lot of things. But your ads, like, I'm genuinely like so dialed in. My ads? Yeah, your ads.

I've been watching your, um, Armani. Okay. Ads, because you're so good at using concealer. Thank you. Which is a really specific compliment. But whenever I need to cover something up, it gets more red and, and flaky. Not to like use the word flaky right now.

But you're just so good at it. And I just like don't know. I just watch you and always had really bad skin. So it's like I it's like a master. It's like a master. I'm a master at it now. You're a mastermind. Yeah.

I used to like have really bad acne all over my cheeks. And when I would try to cover it up, it just it would just draw attention to it. Yeah. That's also how I come to makeup and my probably my bad skin. and dance competitions. You had to put on a lot of makeup. I put lotion on for the first time in some months, some time,

because you were coming on. It reminded me to put lotion on my face. And I used some concealer. So thank you. Your impact. Yeah, you do. I'm so proud of you guys. Yeah, but you'll notice

there's a little flaky red dot. That's where the concealer is. I think your skin looks amazing. That's really sweet, Alex, but there's a flaky red dot. But I bet there wouldn't be with Armani. Luminous silk concealing. Silk, concealer.

I was on my walk this morning, and first of all, I'm a little shaken out because I used to almost get hit by cars a lot, like a lot more frequently than I do now. And last night I had a run in with a vehicle. Very drunk? No, I was on a run. Oh. And I was telling everyone on my story, I was like, so there's a run club. And I'm like vehemently against run clubs. Did I say that right?

Not really, but it's fine. Behemently? You know, I think it's vehemently. but we totally knew what you meant and that's what words are not know i did not know okay you know what i'm really against run clubs in my heart i don't know why there's something guttural about them everyone's way too like i feel like everyone's way too horny um and i'm just like i kind of want to do that by myself not be horny by myself just like run clubs not i want to run about myself run clubs are scary they're scary there's one outside my apartment and it's like you

will get run over if you're like on the sidewalk it reminds me the lion king when they drop When they drop his dad and he just can you even run with this many people around you just do it alone? My thing is like if I want to slow down or stop like I don't want a group of people to pass me or like know that I stopped. So I run. I know their route. I run one block. I run in the alley and I can see their pace. So I keep up with them. Then I almost get by the car. So I think I'm going to start running on the path with them. But the guy yelled or I yelled. I yelled. I was like really, bro. And I was he almost hit me. I was not looking wearing all black. And I might. my fault and he goes I'm sorry man oh that's the worst oh my god I'm still gonna think about that for a week that's like if you felt bad for you I feel bad that he almost hit me it's not his fault it's my fault I wish he would have hit me I deserved it that goes to show you like whenever

someone is rude to you kill them with kindness yeah because when you yourself are killed with kindness that really is the only thing that works yeah so true yeah but I was in my walk this morning almost got hit by a car and I go I'm gonna wait this one out of I'm not going to say a word. But I was walking and I was looking at Halloween directions, decorations, sorry. Behemant decorations, the vehement decorations in L.A. And I was like, some of these are cute. There's a skeleton kind of like with a macaranas.

Maraccas. I didn't even know. There's a skeleton with Maracas. I was like, that is fun. And now that is fun. And then the next one is like a bloody half corpse climbing up someone's second balcony. And I was like, where do we draw the line? Also, how do people with decorations that are grotesque?

How do you sleep for the rest of the year knowing you've got half a corpse in your closet? Like on Easter? Like, oh, we've got to walk past the closet with the corpse in it. How do you sleep in your house knowing that? That's a good question. It's a good question, right? It's a great question. I appreciate the people, though, who decorate.

Okay. So that's the question. Decorate over the top, grotesquely? Like, I'm having my morning coffee kind of just like listening to Tom Mesh, thinking about my devotions, focusing on. breathing and then seeing a corpse i'm like that kind of throws me off like not what i want to see in the morning it depends but i do appreciate people being in the spirit me too me too i like it and uh because in miami i feel like it doesn't feel as Halloween there just because it's like the palm

trees i mean kind of same thing here it's like you don't really have all the leaves and stuff i'm from jersey where are you guys from texas and philly oh my god yeah love but anyhow there was uh i was driving to my boyfriend's house the other day and there was a Halloween decoration but it was like a bald man and a suit like holding some basket or something and I almost crashed the car like it was so but it didn't even look like Halloween it just looked like a scary creepy man a man but with a basket yeah it's worse when it's not when it's warm out it's scarier because it's like yeah it doesn't like the Halloween directors yeah don't like play in Miami yeah one thing about New Jersey is that I don't have a bad word to say about New Jersey

All my friends that I've met from, like, every one of my, I have so many close friends from Jersey. Because we're the back. What? Because you're the best. I literally have not met. I have nothing bad to say about Jersey, one. Nothing bad to say about people I know from Jersey, two. Nothing bad about any experience I've had in Jersey three.

One thing about people from Jersey, they say, oh yeah, I'm going to move across street from my parents when I get older. Like, they all want to move back to Jersey. Yeah. They all do. It's crazy. I've never, I've never experienced something where, like, people like, yeah, I'll be moving back. Like, my plan, my heart is set. I'm out of the city.

I'm out of El. LA, I'm out of, actually they only live in New York or LA, maybe Florida, but they're all moving back to Jersey. I was home maybe two weekends ago and just like being back, I was like, I could see myself moving back here. And I'm the person that's like, I want to move out. I don't know if I would because I don't like the winters, but it just has like the best for like a hometown vibe. So damn true. Halloween and Jersey must be so strong. Oh my God. I was, I went home a few weekends ago and I was feeling the same way with the leaves falling. I was like, I think I'll also move back. It's so comforting. It really is.

I'm going to miss both the Halloween weekends because I'm going to go to Boston after my Atlanta shows and do Halloween with my baby cousins. Oh, sweet. I think it's a decision that I'm making now and then I'm going to see all of y'all's Instagram stories at like some sick freaking wrist bending fun thing. And I'm going to be, I'm going to be carving a pumpkin and telling myself this is where I should be right now. But in my heart, I'm going to be like, I want to take a shot. Are you taking like a break from partying or something? No, my, my, I've been, I've been on tour for like a long time. And I haven't really done anything like fun, really like sending moments.

And I think a part of me is like, I'm nervous to like do it. Yeah. I probably since I saw you in Montauk, which shan't be talked about. I was, I was going to say, I'm not sure when we're going to bring that night up. Let me know. This was a really dark. night for you as well yes you experienced darkness too wait I don't know what you're gonna say

he experienced darkness I can't say everything that I have to say okay I can't either but like there was like a black aura in the whole club there was a black aura that came out of my body onto my on to my bed that dry cleaning had to dry cleaning had to experience my black aura I'm gonna have like walk off the black aura was within us all. Some of us it came out of on the cab on the way home. I'm sorry I went through that. I mean, I was there when Hunter fell on the table. I was there when Hunter fell onto an extra large basil pizza. And then it was funny because I was like, did Hunter get a basil shirt? Because it looked like

did Hunter get a pizza shirt? Because he had must have fallen like. Hunter's like the biggest guy ever. I actually wasn't even there for this part, but I just heard about it so many times that I feel like I was there. You know what's weird? I was like, Why do I smell basil? I look at Hunter's back. I was, what the hell? Oh, it was on his back? Yeah, he felt, I think he felt like completely flat back onto it.

And he's big. He's huge, like, a big guy. The surface area that Hunter's back covers is like, like, it would crush a sedan. What was the context leading up to it? We can't. That's the part that I don't want to. I wasn't there. Your Snapchat story, the photos you chose.

No, I don't know. That included me. I don't know. I know. I reported them on Snapchat. Really? Do you know, it was my most... Harassment and bullying for Alec Searle.

It was my most used Snapchat ever. I'm sure because it included... What was it? It included the Black Oro. Brooke, I was like this. I was like... On her Snapchat story, I was like, maybe she doesn't have that many followers.

Like, God, it's me, Margaret. Please pray that she doesn't have that many followers. No, that night was really scary. And the thing is, we got up. the next morning it was one of those nights where we're like oh we can't go out that much because or like that hard because we were getting up to go to mecanos the next morning so it was such a dark night and i was like that was like the worst vibes ever but like in a fun way but and it was incredible meeting you in person that night as well yeah that was did you think we had black aura no i thought it was

i thought i thought i brought that with me someone else in our group not our group but like someone You might have brought it. No, I went in there with the best of intentions. In fact, I met you guys at the door. We went in together. Yeah. So someone up in that area that were in within our 10 foot radius brought that in. And I think it might have been Cuba Gooding Jr.

Because he was living in. It's always Cuba. Everything comes up Cuba. You know what's funny is when I met him in that area, I go, what's your name? Because I sat down because I always need to sit every 10 minutes. I sit down. And I sat down next to me. Sit closer to me.

And I was like, why? I sat closer to me. He's like, my name's Cuba. And I was like, that's a cool name. And then I was like, I know another Cuba, Gooding Jr. Whipped, it was him. I said, you are one of my favorite actors. Me lying, me lying, me when I lie.

Cool runnings, right? Yeah. Oh my God. I wish she had asked you to name one of your favorite Cuba pieces. Imagine me saying cool runnings from 2002. Oh, that's a Cuba movie? Yeah. I've never heard of it.

I thought that this was a saying the whole time that it was like, oh, Cuba, good, and junior. No, he, oh. Like, I thought you got, it was like, that was a lot. It was pretty Cuba good and junior. It wasn't crazy. It was pretty Cuba, you had to do you do. Oh, cool.

Well, we had. He was there? He was there every night. It was almost like he slept there and just reincarnated every day, every night. He was a lot of places that night. Him and Chris Humphreys, I saw every single day. I saw Chris Humphreys. I saw Chris Humphreys in my sleep.

I wake up. I go to round, Swamp, get a lasagna. Ranswam. He's ducking his head because he's so tall trying to get into that grocery store. Why can't I place Chris Humphrease? He was the one that was married to Kim Kardashian for 11 minutes. Oh, yeah.

I do know. I do know. It looks like Frankenstein's creature a little. Can I say that or not really? Just because of the shape of his head. No, you're totally fine. Frankenstein's creature. Oh my God.

It's up there. Do you know Frankenstein is actually the doctor? Frankenstein's... And Frankenstein's monster is the monster. Yes, Fuddonsonest. Yeah. I've been doing the Disney Channel thing the entire episode with my mom. I'm in trance. Sorry. Okay, we got some submissions that I want to run by you, Alex, but really quickly, should I do my poop thing or no, Connor. I think you should do your poop thing. I feel like we've established enough rapport that it's okay if we talk about poop. Oh, sure. Well, we weren't going to because that is something that ends up coming up on this podcast. Like, we try to like put it off a little bit. Usually ends up coming around the 16 minute mark. I'm weirdly like prepared for this. Okay. Okay. That's good. But I was talking to comment this morning

And I was like, I'm going to tell you this right now Because I don't want to talk about it with Alex Because maybe I shouldn't bring a poop right away with a new friend But he was like, no, save it. So here it is. Make us closer. Yeah, it will. I think so. Why don't dogs and cats have to wipe?

That's a great question that you brought out. Because my baby, Jonathan, had his first explosion last night. And I was like, oh, you're not putting that butt on my pillow. Yeah. So I went and got like a wet paper towel and like to wipe him off. Why was there nothing on the paper towel? Brooke, I can't. That's a good.

I don't know. Like I was going to say, I feel like some owners may wipe. Like we let our dogs and cats like come right back onto the couch after doing something so ungodly. Maybe it's like their. Sphincter. Maybe that's what you're looking for? I was wondering when we had buzzword sphincter. I was like, I'm wondering if she's going to slip in sphincter here.

You slipped it in, good job Yeah, thanks. It has to be something within That's able to Like it's maybe like just the way it is And it's just like Yeah Wait, do you know one time I had a goat

That died because it didn't have a butthole Oh my Oh that is a really huge shame It was Did he not have a colostomy bag? It was a little baby goat And we didn't know what was wrong with it Like it

I mean we just didn't You don't immediately You don't immediately go I don't know I wasn't there I wasn't there. So, um, was this just like a domestic goat or you had like a farm? We have some,

we have like a little farm. Uh-huh. And the goat started to like get sick. So we brought it to the doctor and, you know, we noticed it didn't have a butthole and it ended up, it was too late. It had been so worked up in there that.

Oh my gosh. Toxic shock. That happened to me this morning. Yeah. I'm familiar with the goat's pain. Um, that sucks. That's so sad.

It was really sad. It was really sad because I wanted to go home. home and meet the goat. Oh, you never got a chance to meet him. No. Oh, my God, he exploded beforehand. That's so sad. I'm sorry. I didn't explode. He been in a way. Imploded. That's so devastating. What a way to go. That poor mama goat. That what I've never heard of anything being born without a butthole. It's kind of like Kyle X. Y. He was like the run of the litter. Oh, he was the run of the litter. That's so sad. I know. Okay. Let's move on to our submissions now that we got I have one question for Alex right before we go. Okay, go ahead, Connor. This is one that I added in late.

When's the last time you were on a ladder? Burke hates when I asked this question. It's a great question. I don't hate it. Is this a trick question? No, it's not a trick question. That's the thing. I just saw the ladder over there and it reminded me to ask that question. It's a great, by the way. That is a great question to ask. If you're just like, you know, like, what are we doing here? Like, when's the last time you're on the ladder? I can tell you mine. I really can tell you. My grandma got her spatula stuck on her roof Because she was throwing it at a squirrel

That had been stealing her stuff, her berries from her plants She threw a spatula at it So that was in Michigan I had to go and get the spatula off the roof And I guess that conversation really ends there So we can go right to the submissions Unless you want to, unless the latter question is really burning a hole in your pocket I don't have any ladder stories

That you just want to tell us that? No I don't have any ladder stories either Okay Okay. You ready? No, my Uber's almost here. I have to go.

I really thought the latter question was going to be larger than that. He genuinely was talking about the latter question before you got here. Like really. You know what? As a comedian, you do have to try new things. Like walk out to Septronic. Yes. Thank you.

So that was me really putting myself out there and really bearing it all. Thank you. I'm surprised that she was strong enough to get like the spatula. She threw that shit. I know. She has an arm. She really does. Yeah.

98. years young aging is a blessing exactly okay so we asked people about their worst ghosting stories which a lot of people took to mean like

oh ghost like spooky but we meant like dating and then also hot takes okay the hot takes also were like people kind of struggle with the definition of hot take the hot takes were like pizza's better cold or they should bring back the death penalty

like it was really like two spectrum so I tried to pull some down the middle Okay. There was one I saw that was like, Desani water is bad. Oh. It's like, babe, where have you? So my friend Sally, who's sitting over there,

she's going to freak out about this, got this water app that she's paying for. And it tells you like the ranks of water. I'm already on your side, by the way. No. It tells you the ranks of water of like if it's good for you or what it has in it. So she was like, Poland Springs, like the worst.

What? She said Fiji, see, this is where it gets ridiculous. She said Fiji is like also really bad. We had this water today from the aloe gym And it was it had like a warning sign on it It was like so bad and like she was like There's a bad water so she won't drink them But I'm like it's water.

What's a good water? What does the app do? What do you scan the water bottle? You just type it in and it gives you like If there's like tap water in it How much plastic is in it And just like everything and there's this big scale And Poland Springs is my favorite water

Because it has a tap so now she's really stressing me out about water And I was distraught when I was distraught. Oh. Oh. Oh. The only good water is like Saratoga Springs and like mountain water and even more water. Everything's bad for you. Can I?

Everything is bad for you. I'm, I don't even care. I just have to start drinking water because I don't drink water. Same. I will go a day and have like this much water. The app is called Oasis. Wow.

I'll be down on the app. No, you don't need to pay to like. And then I never feel good. You know what. You know what's funny is and I just discovered that sparkling water has the same hydrating effects as normal water and so I've been housing sparkling waters. Someone told me like you're going to get.

Kenny's tones. So it's just like, should I just kill myself now? Or like, is the water going to kill me too? They're like, you drink too much water. You can drown. I'm like, no shit. They also, you can't get water. You can't go ahead of water. I did hear that. I could probably survive the longest without water. Because you're just, your body's not used to it. I'm not used to water. You know what I'll say? If I drink a bottle of water, I have to pee maybe 50 times. That's good. That means you're healthy, I think. No, unhealthy because I don't drink water. The reserves. Could be good. Yeah. Good and good for you. I'm stocked up. I will say, about the water in LA.

If you buy a plant from somewhere in L.N. It has that thing that they put in the soil. It's this kind of plant, put it in this much sunlight, this much water. They say, do not give this plant tap water in Los Angeles. It will kill the plant. Fully, they don't tell us. I've been drinking tap water. Look at me.

Yeah, I only drink tap water, so. I think tap water's fine. I do, too. I think, like, I'm not picky. On the East Coast, New York has the best tap water in America, which people don't know. Do you ever feel like when you go to restaurants, though, when they ask you for like a bottle or tap, they like make you feel like a peasant

if you like get the tap water? Yeah. But like why would I pay for the bottle of water? Exactly. Well, I think in LA I need to get just because that thing on my plant scared me on my cactus. I'm like, cactus is a bit or grown in like places with no water. You're telling me I can't give this, this cactus is a, is a beggar and a chooser?

Really? Oh, let's do the submissions, Brooke. I'm sorry. Okay, no, you're good. Okay, this is a ghosting. I'm excited. So we just react? Yes.

Okay. Yes. Exactly. Whenever you feel called, the chime in. If you feel called. Okay. I was dating a guy and I ghosted him because we drove past the road where he had a car accident and he shuddered and it gave me the ick. Thoughts.

I get PTSD about stuff like that. I feel like she's kind of a bitch. I would really like like that because it shows that he's in tune with his emotions. Yes. Yeah. I agree. He's having an emotional response. Yeah.

And I would want to comfort. Him. That would be the opposite of an ick for me. Maybe they just weren't close enough to where she wanted to see that. Yeah. Or maybe emotional vulnerability scares her and she should think about that. I feel like icks have become this thing where it's like, are we okay? They just throw it out too much. Yeah. It's like, no, you can't have an ick about everything. That's going to like be the end of our civilization.

This was a really like stupid, hot take. No offense at all to the person who sent it. I'm no offense at all. I'm sure you're great. I know you're great. But it was hot take, water tastes different depending on the brand. It does. Yeah. But the fact that was a hot take, it's like, that's just the point of water having different brands.

Some people think it doesn't taste different. Okay, maybe I'm stupid. And I want to send my apologies to this individual. I have one. For everything I said. Yeah. This is also ghosting, but it's long. So buckle up.

I'm buckled. Sisters. Ghosting story. Last winter, I went on three hinge dates with this one girl. One day she texted me at like 11 and asked if I wanted to come over and watch a movie. She mentioned snacks. This is important. I'm not completely stupid, so I assume the invite meant not just a movie.

But we hadn't even kissed at this point, and we barely touched. So I was kind of feeling like maybe it wasn't going anywhere or she wasn't really into me. So I took the snack offer at face value. I said, yes, walked over. I live in New York. So it's 50 minutes down the road. She met me on the corner. I could see her from a block away. She was like bopping up and down as she walked. And I hate to be that kind of person, but it gave me the heck. Then we got to her apartment and there were no snacks. And she conveniently had chilled a bottle of white wine in the fridge. It was a setup. And then I opened it. I offered to open it. She said, she insisted to do it herself. She would do this thing where she felt like she had to be the man. So a lot of the time, I feel like I was just kind of standing there while she did things for me. And she fumbled so hard with the corks crew. It took her like 20 minutes to open it. And it was so awkward, but she wouldn't let me help. So I just stood there while she was like I swear I'm usually better at this

We're about to get to the story Then we went on her couch to watch a movie and it was like Nicole Kidman the interpreter which was horrible That's a movie where she's like a terrorist or trying to I don't know trying to catch a terrorist or something The whole time the movie was on I swear to you she kept farting and they were so quiet so I couldn't hear them but every 20 minutes I would smell one that was actually so unbearable Not because of the smell but it's not because of the smell really jip But just because of the fact that she probably knew that I knew, but neither of us were acknowledging it while Nicole Kedman was on screen fighting terrorism or something. I don't know. Anyway, after the movie, I was like, I should probably go. And she was like, no, you should stay. It's really cold out. And it's late. Maybe it's cold outside. But I peeked into her room and it was such a boy room like no duvet or bed frame. I left and then slowly stopped responding to your text. I don't feel great about it. I do think about it her every once in a while while I have nothing else going on.

he sounds like super unpleasant to me i'm sorry farty mcfart pants is sitting inches away from you she had gas crop dusting for you like during that horror i do feel like if you're hanging out with someone for one of the first times like and i feel like you you gotta like do whatever it takes to not let that happen yes yes like you have to like go another room and be like oh my god like someone just died like i have to go someone died in her colon it's a I wasn't talking about the farting per se, just like the nitpicking on like her wanting to open the wine bottle and her bopping up and down and her room. He didn't, he seemed. Yeah.

I'm so on his side. But yeah, I see that. Yeah, I'm sure you were. But he's, I guess the farting is. The farting is, the end thing for me. It's like, yeah. It's only you two in the room. But what if it wasn't her?

She wasn't making a sound. You know, she's just like a drafty apartment coming from the sewer. You of all people. You know smells come from all. all sorts of places. Pardon? Pardon, Juan. Pardon your thing. What is the meaning of this? It's just like it could have been geological. Is there a fault line in New York City that I'm not, I don't know about? That's over a sulfur hot spring? I mean, like, things, like, you know how, like, things can just, like, come out of your apartment? Do you think Alex's purse was sitting in

there with her hard boiled eggs and they were just getting with it? I mean, I could have been that kind of situation. I would, I think there's a likely scenario where it wasn't. her farting because like that is way I disagree because I think she would have said then oh my god what does that smell right unless she thought it was him I bet she thought it was him but she wanted probably if that was me I would have been like sorry I've been farting just to like clear the air literally you have to yeah you have to address the elephant in the room I have a question yeah no I can't ask that that's good just try just like on a plane when someone like he's obviously farting over and over and over again like do you say out loud like can you can whoever's

farting can you stop no that's bioterrorism to me because it's so like you can't do anything you're just sitting there and you're stuck it's like literally being in an escape room but you're in the air i just tell myself someone just cracked open an egg salad sandwich Alex just started digging in their first yeah it's just Alex and her heart bowed eggs it's no biggie yeah uh I don't know so they probably feel trapped too yeah you're right you do get really bad gas on the plane. Bring you have a great, like, counter argument. I'm so against the farters. I hold it. Think of how bad they feel. It's too, it's so painful. It can be so painful. That's fine. Hey, that's fine. Well, maybe while you plug your mic back in, I can do another

section. Is it working? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. This is my favorite one. This actually made me laugh out a lot. Oh, did it? Yeah. Okay. This is a hot take. It's literally fine that I, Parentheses, 21-year-old female, and parentheses. M.N. Heat for my professor, parentheses, 103-year-old male. And parentheses. I may or may not frequent his office hours. He no longer replies my emails. parentheses, this also pairs nicely with the ghosting prompt and parentheses and other parentheses.

Also, due to his age, he may be in operation. So this really is a versatile answer. And parentheses. I just love one of email. I didn't listen to word you said after you said 103. Okay. No, no. I just was, I was thinking about the age.

So basically, yeah, her hot take was that it's completely fine. Her 21 year old female, him 103 male. Agree or disagree? Whatever works for you. Bill Belichick is doing it. Who's that? She's hard. I gotta relay that to something else.

He's like the coach of the Patriots. Was. And he's dating a 22-year-old? How old is he? 70. Well, he's not. even dating. There's no way that this professor's 103. That's a lie. Right.

That's a stretch because can you legally be I don't even think people like get that old. I can stand. Besides your grandma. No, someone was just 116. The question is could they be an active professor? Yeah. If they have tenure, I'm pretty sure they can be an active professor until they pass. Yeah.

Maybe that's like a weird kink she has. But I also like I can understand I guess the phrasing in heat is a little tricky because I could understand her having romantic feelings like the way I have for Stephen King But she's saying she has a very sexual... She's in heat.

Yeah. So that's, yeah, that's tough. Well, you would kill him. You would kill him. If she acted on it? If you acted on it. Like that SNL skit with Bill Hader in the chair. Yes. That's too good.

That is so good. Yeah. I also think that there's some sort of like very, very real dynamic between teachers and students where you're like, I am so attracted to this teacher. I'm not saying the teacher's like, I'm so attracted to this student,

but the other way, it's like, I'm attracted to my teacher. And then you see them out. And then you see them outside of school and you're like, oh, wait, no, I'm not. You see them at Trader Joe. Wait, no. Talk about it.

Yeah. You know? And I think that the same thing goes with coworkers. And someone just said, someone actually wrote in, I don't know if I'm able to find it fast enough, but someone wrote in and said, basically her and her co-worker

both married, hooked up with each other, broke up both their marriages, they're moving out of state together, and she's like, I actually don't even like him anymore. Oh my God. So I think it was the co-worker thing.

It's the thing of like you're not supposed to. Yes. Yeah. But also it's the thing of like, have you ever, in elementary school when you got a role of like smarties? You're like, I'm eating these right now. I'm so excited to eat these smarties.

But then if you were out, outside of school and someone offered you smarties, and this is just an example that I had, I'd be like, I don't really want those right now. But in school, you're like, I'm going to eat this dumb dumb. It's like the lack of options. I think that's an excellent example. Make it so much, you know, so it's like the lack of options when you're in an office. This is the hottest person in this office, this coworker. And I'm going to get them, you know? Versus like you see them out somewhere to borrow something. You're like, ew. That's why social media is so tough because people think the options are endless. Yeah. Yeah. And instead of they don't. They don't. don't just like settle what's for what's in front of them, which I would advocate for for me. Advocate for settling? Yeah, someone said just like if I was in an office, which I do want to be one day. I know. We were actually talking about that. Oh, yeah.

Wait, I wanted to ask you. So I had a job before we started doing this. Like, I don't know what it is. What are? Sorry, I don't know what it is what we would call it. But like, you were a teacher. She never had the office experience. I was fully working in an office.

You went straight into it. Yeah, I worked in an office, though, for a little. I had a marketing internship. It is fun. I feel like, I don't know, there's a fun dynamic. Not every day I miss it. But now I work from home, obviously, and I wish that I had somewhere to go into to, like, separate, like, life, my life personally from, like, work. Because I'm just, like, even my podcast studios in my apartment, like, what you guys hear, I'm like, this is, like, Universal Studios when I was walking in here.

I was like, this is really professional. All these big buildings out here, this is really cool. Cool. Thank you. But all these, I don't have this many things going on for mine, which is probably by the productions, not as good. But it's like in the corner of my room. So I do wish or aspire to one day have like an office where I can go in and do these things. That's a real thing because you can only go to so many coffee shops and when you have to do what we're doing, like I'm not going to go record myself being like, hi guys. And I'm at a coffee shop. It's like that's illegal kind of. So it's just like you need to get, you need to have somewhere to go. It's like nice to have a routine. I think for a while I didn't have this routine where it's like, I lack. And then you don't have coworkers really. So like you don't have. I went through the same thing this past year of like you don't have.

You're your own boss. And that was hard for me to like comprehend because I was just like, I don't know. And then I was like, oh shit. Like I'm the only one that's going to tell myself to like do work. And it took me like seven months until I was like, okay, like we have to like get up and do shit right now. And now I love it. But it's just like a weird thing to comprehend because you don't like have to necessarily. Yes.

It's, you have to have accountability. But without it, you go like crazy. Like, I don't know how people like, don't do anything. When I lived, the first place I moved into, post-pandemic, when I moved back to L.A., I moved in by myself. And there would be three days where I just didn't even talk to a person. Because I could totally do everything from home. Yeah. Food.

And I felt like a snake and in like an enclosure at like the reptile exhibit at a zoo. I'm like, I got everything I need right here. Why would I leave? And then I saw something or read something that was like, you don't have. have a traditional job, but unless you treat this like a traditional job, you know, book out your day, schedule your things, then you're not going to advance at all, just like you would in your career. Like you have to set goals. You have to set KPI's, you know, like per quarter, treat it like a job, put in the hours of work, and then you'll see, and that helped so much. Yeah.

Got into that mindset. My KPI is the KPI. And what is the KPI? Key performance indicator. And you set it to be like, this is where I want to be by the end of January February, March. at the end of March, I want to check in on my KPI, see if you made or not. That's where, like, if you're in an office, you'd go to your supervisor and, like, manager and be like, okay, here's, I accomplish these things here. Eventually, you get a promotion. Can I get a promotion for myself? I don't know. I don't know yet.

I keep going. I don't miss about an office, though. The guy in the cubicle next to me was a tamper. Was that? A tomper on his snacks. And every day around lunchtime, like, I was. No, that's headphones in. No, that's that's really, really bad.

My boss at my old job had the worst breath. She loved one-on-ones with me. She also pulled me aside one day and was like, she'd breathe. Oh my God. She pulled me aside one day. He's like, it's so nice to have a work crush. It makes coming to work so much more fun.

And I was like, we're in an office, like, little room alone, and you're telling me how much fun you like to come to the office because you have a work crush and telling me I should get one. I'm like, I feel like I could sue you. Ooh, that's giving me, like, goosebumps in a bad way. Yeah, it was really like, I was like, I don't want, this is crazy that we spend so much time. I don't want to want you. You have a work crush that you look forward to coming to the office.

But you spend most of your time with me. Isn't that interesting? Yeah. I have a question. What's it like working with your sister? Yep. It's fun, but we're starting to get to the point where we're fighting a little bit, but, like, in a good way. But I feel like my, so my dad and his brothers have their own company.

So they have always, this will make sense in a minute. We grew up kind of going to these like meetings with them on like how to work with family because working with families like a little bit different obviously because you're like closer and you can fight and whatnot. And so now I'm working with my sister and my dad's also our manager. So my dad has to like keep us in check a lot of the times. And yeah. And it's obviously easier to be like moodyer with each other.

And he had to check in with us recently and was like, you need to treat this like as a job. Like you can't be just like you can have the moments where your sisters, but then you need to like be good. But I mean, we're fine. But honestly, I'm the problem because every time we set a time to podcast, I'm like, I change it. And she's like gets mad at me because she's in, she's in college right now. So she's like, Alex, like I have class. Like I can't just do this. Whatever time.

She also lives with like five other girls. So she's like, I can't do it when there's like a party in the house. And I'm not good at like sticking to a schedule. So it is my fault. But it's fun. I wouldn't have a family anymore if I'd. try if we were i don't think i would either like you're a really big person do you guys have siblings yeah i have a younger sister and a younger brother but cute i did a podcast episode with my younger sister

um so yeah so i did a podcast episode with my younger sister and she's eight years younger than me so she's like she's like much more sweet and the whole time i was like why is she like talking like that like her her voice it was just like what she was doing recording voice what is like going on with her voice. I listened back indistinguishable from my voice. It was the exact same voice. And I was like, God, this is grading. Like, who wish you would cut it out? Same exact voice as me. Yeah. Yeah. So perfect. Love it. I hate hearing my own voice. It's terrible. Can you watch yourself? No. Really? Like even the editor sending me podcast clip cutdowns, I like, I struggled to watch it. And they're like, hey, like, can you give us the feedback? And I'm like, oh my God. Like watching

I'm just like, I hate myself. Yes. But. on the stand-up tour, like, they're like, we recorded your set, and I'm like, I pay someone $20 to watch my set, tell me if it's good because I can't, I'm like, I killed that. I watched one clip. I'm like, did I just hear someone, like an actual cricket?

I thought I killed it the whole time. I can't watch those, and that's really unfortunate because, you know, I'm always like, I need to have two drinks, and then I can watch my stand-up set. Yeah. Horrible. Because as soon as you start recording, I recorded with my mom the other day video,

and I went from like having a conversation like this to like I'm with my mom today and I'm like what is that voice that I do? Why do I keep going into blogger mode? I don't even talk like that. I've been really this past year I've been really trying to sit myself down and get myself out of the like my friends would be like my tone of voice changes a little bit. It's like a little bit more uppity and I'm like, oh. Yeah.

No, it's it's more like chipper. Yeah. When they call on you in class. Like why am I? What am I so happy about? You have a good, very casual conversational recording voice, I feel like. Yeah. When you're talking, I'm like, it's almost like you're talking, you're telling a story the whole time, obviously, but like, it's almost like you're just telling it to me.

I try. Yeah. It's very good. Obviously, whereas I'm learning a lot, you know, that's a cut so much of my shit when I'm doing a story. I'm like, why did you tell them like 15, 18 seconds of stuff that doesn't is not even important? Yeah. That's how I want to talk, though. That's very true.

That's very true. I'm like, that's such a good thing I have to tell you. And then I'll get to the end. She's like, okay, so you just wanted to say that last like four seconds. Yeah, like the latter. Hey, but that's the ladder. That's the recipe for your success. Well, yeah.

Waiting. In summary, I actually have never seen an episode of this podcast. Really? Yeah. Or I like can't watch it. Makes me. Yeah. Gives me the shivers.

But Constance, you want to do one last? Okay. I'll just do a hot take. Okay. Hot take. I love getting into a hot parked car. It feels like being in the womb Ooh

That's a good hot take Because it's a hot take Yeah It's a hot take Literally Yeah I love that I love that But the thing

I love the feeling I love the feeling I like getting out of like a cold Like the cold mall And your car is parked outside You guys are malls right No but I think What the hot take would be

Is that the car is hot from it being hot outside So it's like you're coming from the beach And then you know when you have to like Work that in the windows right away Yeah That's what they mean That sucks. It's suffocating.

Like the wound problem. Well, they like it. They like getting into the hot car. Yeah. Which is why it's a hot take. I think it's nice when you come out of a cold building and you get in your hot parked car. Yeah. I have actually a hack for that.

Let us know. If you open and you open and shut the door a bunch of times, it like is like squeegeing or those things. What's that thing called? This thing. Like when you're, it's like got air in it and you got it. Oh, uh. An accordion? Kind of in a way

Wait, I'm sorry What are you? You squeeze it and it's got Aaron And you push it Yeah, an accordion Yeah accordion thing Seems like an old fashion Oh well bellow of course

Yeah Wait didn't one of you say bellow in the beginning of this No Bellow Wait yeah Someone did Bellow Wow kiss your brain

That was really good callback Yeah it's that thing That's what I was talking Wow is you well done Because I remember because I remember being like What the fuck is a bellow? Well, I didn't, if we said it, it was an accent because I just learned that's what that's called.

But, I need one of those. Have you ever seen one of those in real life? No, but I'd like to. I'd love to use it. Yeah, let's get one for the set. Yeah, I want that and I want sea monkeys. Yeah, we got to get some sea monkeys. Yeah.

Did you ever have sea monkeys? No. They're like a powder that turned into like sea bugs. But brine shrimp. Brian shrimp. The things that grow? They're like little tiny, there they are. They're like actual, like,

creatures. No. Freeze dried. I thought that was a picture. Freezed and they come alive and they come alive. Did you see that? Yeah. They were all. So they're in an induced coma.

Yeah. They wanted to. I wonder if they're a dream. Did you hear that, Connor? Sorry. They're in an induced coma. They are. Do you think you can freeze dry?

Maybe we should powder ourselves. Freeze dry. Maybe we should get them. With Georgia Armani, luminous blush, cover up. Yeah. Um, do you think you're going to get a pet with you have your family farm? I wish I could get a dog, but I can't. Because I feel like I travel so much, it would be a bad thing.

But I'm trying to get my boyfriend to get one. Yeah. I'm going to have the dog waiting for you at home. That would be so nice. I'm going to kill myself. I need to stop saying that. But the fact that my dog is with my parents right now because I've been on tour and fully like my parents think that I'm going to let them keep it.

Like I think that they're like, they think I'm soft launching him continuing his life with them. And I'm going to go get him. Maybe you should be firm about that and kind of like just nip their. You know, I went to. the dog park with my mimi and one of the old women older women aging is a blessing at the dog park was like oh aren't you excited for max to go home with with your grandma and i was like what story are you what narrative are you guys spreading at the dog park while i'm away so everyone thinks

they're going everyone thinks that he's moving and i'm getting rid of him i'm not like that no max is max is mine for life for hell i honestly like i have a vendetta against people who get animals and then give them away. Like, I just don't understand, like, have one of you done this? Not. I also have that. I was lying. No, no.

I also have that and it was a really challenging experience. I got a guinea pig. I got a guinea pig. Oh, but that's different. Because I really wanted like a companion. That's so different. I wanted a companion and I was like, oh, I don't know if I'm ready. I don't know.

I know. I know. I know. And then I had her for a year and a half. And she never, like, ever wanted to be picked up. And we just never kind of connected. So now she lives in with somebody who, like, really loves and cares for guinea pigs. And I got a cat and were kind of more aligned.

But I, like, really struggled. Okay. But that's different. Because I also have that vendetta. But yeah, obviously that was very hard because I had that same experience. But it really, like, it was what was best for her and me because I wanted to. Well, under some circumstances, it's okay. Yeah, but I agree with you completely.

Like, I can't imagine ever giving away Jonathan. Yeah. Yeah. I feel terrible now. No, don't, don't, don't. Because I also did need to say that because people are always like, where's Frankie? Where's Frankie? Now you know.

She's one of them. She's in a better place. She's in a better place. She's not dead. She's in a better place. Okay. I think we're wrapping up, you guys. But Alex, Earl, thank you so much for gracing us.
