It's time for a trip to Ross. Work your magic. limp mic. I had limp I had limp I had limp mic syndrome. Oh. Oh I was like because I play with it so much. It's tired. It's just right here and just like maneuvered. I'm like yeah I'm like grabbing the thing the whole time. Okay that's great. Oh that's all my crap. Yeah. I mean it's it's it's kind of just

thank you. That's good. It's it's nice to have friends like you guys to help me stay stiff. Hello? Oops, hello. Okay, great. Okay, I'll come out right now. As I'm on the phone finishing up our joke, yeah, it's nice to have friends that keep you stiff. Hi, this is Grubham. I don't know why I would have just waited.

Oh, that's really sweet, Connor. Okay, let's run it. 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. Me? Hey, guys. Welcome back to Brooke and Connor make a podcast.

It's me, Connor, and? And I'm Brooklyn. We are so happy to be here. And Connor's working on splitting up some tater tots that he got us this morning, which is so sweet. because he's had a busy morning and he needs to be fed. Sustinence. So please give us some grace in terms of eating tater tots

because I can't watch them to eat tater tots and not have them. And Connor does need them for his health and well-being this morning. Well, we talked last week about tater tots and about how we don't see them enough. Yeah. And God works in mysterious but direct ways. This is manifestation. I know. Oh, I didn't even think of that.

But you know what's weird? Huh. And we'll get into this shortly. Manifestation is a life hack. It is a life hack. Which brings us to the topic of today's episode. Life hacks. Life hacks.

As well as urban legends, which the more that we, so we posted last week about asking people for life hacks and urban legends. Turns out no one knows what anything means. I don't know what anything means. I think that there's a lot of confusion around what a life hack is, especially me being one of the people who's incredibly confused. it's confusing to figure out what's a life hack and what's just something that you do while you're living your life

you know I guess a life hack is something that makes it's supposed to make life easier okay life hack by definition on dictionary.com a strategy or technique adopted in order to manage one's time and daily activities

in a more efficient way let people one person's life hack isn't always another person's life hack right. I think we're both right because we were saying my life hack is ordering ice so I don't have to fill up my ice trays

whereas Connor said that's not a life hack it doesn't feel like a life hack are usually simple and clever tip or technique for accomplishing something with a familiar and more it doesn't feel like a life hack to me because I guess technically it is for me because I find that to be easier and more time efficient

as well as just less daunting yeah see like that would make sense for me if you're like, I'm on my way home, I'm going to order the ice so that by the time I get home, it's there. Right. That would feel more life hacking to me, but I'm pretty laid back today. So I don't, I guess, yeah, that's a life hack. Well, someone responded to that and said the hack is actually filling up your ice cube trays so you don't have to buy ice. So that's what I'm saying, like, DS, DS, different strokes for different folks. A life hack looks different to everyone. So that's interesting when you really think about it from that perspective. Yeah, it is. It's really interesting.

I told everyone, like my example for you that I gave you was I've been doing this thing where when I go on trips and usually when I go somewhere I'm staying with someone. So my life hack is that I do laundry at their house on my last day. So when I pack my bag to leave, I get home and my clothes are clean and I just put them away. That makes sense, but hear me out. I'm listening. Either way you're washing your clothes. It's more daunting for some reason when like you're at home and you get home and you're You have to go about your day versus like when I was at my grandma's house last week.

I had not shit going on. Right. So for me, I think the opposite would be true. Like I don't want to spend my time doing laundry when I'm at my away destination. I'd rather do it when I'm home. Does that make sense? Yeah. So.

Chalk it up to DSDF, I guess. Chalk it up to DSDF. I got to stop eating. I have to stop eating. Let me close my box. Close your box because it's going to be too tempting. Far too tempting. Life hacks are a social construct.

I'm a hungry little rat today. You're a hungry little boy. So moral of the story, life hacks are social constructs that are socially constructed based off of your personal preference. That being said, let's hear some people's personal preferences. Okay, ready? I screenchotted so many. Wait.

What? Not us diving right in today. No, I know. It's freaky, right? I've never done. Guess how I opened the pod. Hey guys. Welcome back to Brooklyn Connor.

a podcast. That's never happened in the history of the pod. You know it's funny yesterday, just to take us off tropic, off topic really quick. Yeah, take us off tropic. To take us, what are those lines that go across the globe? Tropic of Capricorn. Tropic of Cancer. Latitude and longitude? The Tropic of Capricorn. I've never heard of that. Did you have a geography class in high school? I had geography class in every, I have never even come close to a geography curriculum. You're this going to blow your mind. I had, we all had to take a geography. So there's the tropics really quick. If you're watching on YouTube, you'll see the tropic of both. Oh, no, you'll, yeah, Tropic of Cancer, which seems to go through South America, Africa, and then South Asia. South Asia, yeah.

Are they just like parallel to the equator? I don't really remember the point of them. Like, it's like, if you're in the middle of those, the equator's in the middle. You know the equator is. Right. I Yeah, I just said it. When? Five seconds ago. I missed it. Yeah, you must have. The Tropic of Cancer is the most northern latitude on Earth where the sun can appear directly overhead.

The Tropic of Capricorn is the most southern latitude on the earth where the sun can appear directly overhead. Yeah. When is the sun not overhead? When it's below our heads. Nighttime. Oh. Well, yeah. Yeah, well, that's on God.

You've always said that about the traffic of cancer in addition to capital. I've always said that the tribal cancer is the most none than that in the time of life where you can, you know, etc. Mm-hmm. Take the word out of my mouth, Google. Cool. Yeah, I don't remember how that happened. But what I was saying was yesterday on Kelsey's podcast, she was like, I don't even think we finished one sentence. And I had to apologize because I was like, that's unfortunately just like how I roll.

Right. If something. Not your fault. No, it's not my fault. DSDF. We got to the last 30 seconds of her podcast and she goes, crap, I need you to pull something out of this bag so we can do one of my topics. Oh, I love those bags. I love. Everyone go listen to Connor's episode of Circle Time. I, of course, I got my, yeah, Kelsey Creple, Kelsey Co. I got my worst question. I hate, what are the one, what is the one that you bring to an abandoned island? I mean, deserted island. Oh, I have my three items right on the top of my head. She asked for 10. I was like, um, my phone. She's like, you don't have Wi-Fi. I was like, okay, then I don't need, I guess I need a gun. I need my phone. Just to scroll aimlessly without Wi-Fi.

I'll look through my camera roll. Guess what? Yeah, but Brooke, you've been on a flight. At some point, you're like, I can't keep going to my camera roll. I could go through my camera roll for the rest of my life, I think, and find something new every single time. I just do it so often when you have the airplane Wi-Fi and it turns out it only allows you to syntax. Oh, I know. And then all of a sudden you have that one friend that, like, you never talk to and they're suddenly like, what are you eating right?

now. What did you eat today? It's like they're on a flight and all they have his wife. Right, right. So why don't you take it from here? Yeah, I don't mind. Okay. We're back to light. Here's a good one. Okay. That also like it might just like do more harm than it does good. Throw spaghetti on the wall to see if it's done cooking. Is that, does that work? Well, you would be able to tell if it's like sticky as well as like loose. That doesn't. Loose and limber. You know? Okay, I'm sure you've heard the saying throw spaghetti against the wall and see if it's six. No, that's like throw ideas at the wall and see if it's sick.

Yeah, I've never heard it in terms of spaghetti. It's a common way to describe the process of testing many different tactics at the same time. And if it doesn't work, it falls to the floor. Right. I had no idea about that. Hell yeah. To me, I'm like... Isn't it just easier to put it in your mouth?

Yeah, I would rather burn my mouth and put it in my mouth. Right. If it sticks, it's done. Yeah. I would trust my mouth. off more than my wall. This doesn't feel like a life hack though. That's what I'm saying. Like how does it any easier? Then you got to scrape all the goo off your wall. That's what I'm saying. Do you have a life hack for goo on your wall too? Exactly. I hope you do. That's what I'm saying. That's why I said

I think it would do more harm than good. I hope you have a plan B. My life hack is actually put it just putting it in my mouth. Imagine like an Italian that's renting an apartment. They do not get the security deposit back because their walls are full of full of gluten. We should ask Vito what he does. Oh Vito! Let's see him in the door. Write that down so we can ask him that next time we see him. Okay. You're ready for another one?

This one really confused me. I couldn't tell you the last time I wrote something down with a pen or a pencil. I don't remember how to hold a pencil. I had to sign my name on a CVS thing. I don't think I guess I'll do cursive. Yeah. Look like I was actively in a car accident. Are you fluent in cursive?

No. I don't. I can do two letters. I was like, how do you do an N? I don't know. I got one from the O couldn't get from the O to the end. I just started a new line. I can do an L and an I lower.

case. I remember thinking like if my cursive is not connected, life is pointless. Right. If my end is not connected to my O, I might as well go straight, go live on the streets. I make up my cursive. I'll just do like normal letters. You can. I'll do normal letters that are squiggly. Okay, our other topic today is like urban legends, which I'll get into, which I'll get into. But cursive is whatever you want it to be. Curseve is not a language. No, it's not. It's a font. It's a font. Doctors are the perfect example. They're not writing shit.

Yeah, it's a font. They're doing their own thing and they call in your prescription. The people are like, oh, yeah, I didn't know what this is. The doctor calls them as soon as you leave. Cursev is fake. Yeah, get this. You ready? Yeah.

Travel perfume is the same size. I have one more thing. I'm so sorry about Kirshund. Yeah, no, you're good. Thanks. When you're signing an official document and they go, sign here, also print below. choose your battles. Which am I doing?

I don't have all day to be writing my name. Do you also want me to write it in bubble letters? I kind of get that. Why? Because your signature is like the official stamp of approval confirmation. And then I don't know about you, but like my signature is not indicative of my name at all. It's just a squiggle and like a very faint bee that you can make out. So the print is what you can actually read.

Okay, I can read that. I can read it too. Let's read it the same time. I never thought I would practice a lost art, but you're looking at it. Apparently, cursive writing is now on the endangered list. I kind of lost it at the end. So you have to squint. Yeah.

It's get worse, actually. Okay, you ready for the back? Yeah, hit me with the next one. Travel perfume is the same size as a vape. I refill the bottle and it fits in every small bag. The bottle of what? I guess she's taking her vape apart and putting perfume in it? I think it's the opposite.

I think she's putting vape juice in her perfume bottle. What's vape juice? Vap juice is what goes into your vip. A weed vape or a nicotine vape? That's vape juice. I think it's probably nicotine. Yeah. Oh, I don't think I know what makes up a vape.

So like a refillable vape, not a disposable vape. I'm thinking of like a puff bar. No, they have bigger vapes where you put the juice in like that. Like you put juice in there. Never seen one of those in my life. Yeah. That looks like a cure egg. No.

Oh, so you put vape juice in a perfume? So that you don't, she puts it in her perfume, but can you not travel with the vape juice if it's the same? I think you should maybe look into if you can just travel with your vape juice. Well, vape juice isn't illegal. Not at all. So why wouldn't you be able to travel with your vape juice? That's what I'm saying. Maybe she doesn't realize.

Oh, like why even? Maybe she's underage and her parents. She doesn't want her parents saying. Or here it is. She's traveling with her vape. No. just carry, yeah, just bring your vape juice as well. Put

your vape juice in your bag. Is vape juice over four ounces? Does it come in over four ounces? No, it looks so tiny. Is it like a huge bottle of like... She said it's the same size as her review. Yeah, so I'm not following this hack at all. Power to you though. Unless it's THC, but...

Still, then just carry a little THC... I don't, yeah, I don't like... I don't like... I don't like give anyone any advice here, but like... Maybe she's talking about vape juice because it's illegal. No one is gonna... No one is gonna stop you for your weed at that. No, I hate to break. I can tell you that right now.

I hate to blow your mind here, but I don't even smoke weed. I have weed in my backpack every time I go to the airport. Can I say that? Yeah, you're good. I like forgot about it. It's probably from college. Yeah. I do too.

Yeah. And the thing is, everyone's like the drug dogs. The drug dogs are not smelling for drugs. They're looking for bombs. Yeah. They're not looking for cocaine. Yeah. I thought they were looking for more harder drugs.

They're looking for bombs. It's an airport. You're not going to die if you do. Well, maybe. You're not going to die if you do... Maybe. I don't know. You might.

Connor going on record, you're not going to die if you do heroin. You're not going to die if you do some Molly at the airport. Have fun. I think they're looking out for, like, drug smuggling. If you have massive amounts of cocaine on your person, maybe the drug dog might pick it up. Right. But if you have a little bit of cocaine at the airport, I'm just kidding. No, I think...

Um, we've all been there. I think they're smelling for drugs. I think that's the whole thing. Yeah, that's exactly what I said. And then you said they're smelling for bombs. I'm so sorry, they're smelling for bombs. They're not smelling for drugs. I think they are smelling for a lot of drugs.

Oh, computer. Let's see, let's see what. Oh, Karen. Karen, I was going to ask what Planky wife was called. Computer wife. Yeah. I also, so like, freshman year of college, I had this, I was using the same backpack for, like, class as travel, whatever. I guess I would still be doing that, but I had taken a backpack camping and I had a keystone light at the bottom of my, or Natty light at the bottom of my backpack. I forgot about it. Obviously my bag gets pulled for liquids. I am shaking, full body shaking because my bag gets pulled for liquids.

Wait, how old were you? Like 19. And I'm shaking, like, had no criminal record at this time. And so I'm like, what's going to happen? They're going to take me, they're going to arrest me because I have one keystone light. that probably is less alcohol in it than a water bottle. And the oldest woman that's walking this planet took my bag and goes, Natural Light. I love soda pop. You can't travel with this, though. Oh, you got really lucky. Oh, no.

I literally felt like Pablo Escobar leaving that TSA station. I was like, I just got a huge, like the biggest drug dealer ever in the world. Oh. You don't know about it? didn't have any no I do I you didn't have I felt like him getting away from the cops because I didn't get in trouble for having an alcohol on me okay are you not no I get it okay I get it TSA security officers do not search for marijuana or other illegal drugs but if any illegal substance is discovered during security screening TSA will refer the matter to a law enforcement

officer for more prohibited items go to the what can I bring page on TSA dot com total oh drug dogs at the airport marijuana cocaine crack cocaine heroin ecstasy math ketamine LSD forget what I said earlier do you think but do you think they could smell inside like the vape pen like can they can they can their scent can their sense of smell penetrate the walls of my binky to the I don't know I don't know if their nostrils are penetrating your walls right but because I'm sure they could penetrate like a bag that's filled with like actual like clumps of weed but not necessarily like the the bink Yeah, I mean, drug dogs have sense like the gods. It's like they're six and seventh sense.

Wow. They have tripled the sense. They're really talented. Yeah, they're really talented. I would hate to have that much smelling power. Oh, God. Lessing and a curse. If I get a whiff of something, I was in an elevator leaving Dear Media.

Don't even tell me. Yesterday? Don't even tell me. You would have held your breath till you passed out just to get through it. Don't even tell me. I cannot find my car, obviously, because I'm in a parking garage. and someone in the elevator had thrown up recently. And so all I could smell was their puched breath.

And I'd rather smell something than breathe through my mouth and feel like I can taste it. So I was just smelling in like a movie theater vomit smell. That's like so bad. That's so bad. Okay. Oh, TSA canines are the single purpose are single purpose dogs trained to detect explosives.

What are dogs do is some of the hardest thing, training, some of the hardest testing. Okay, so now I'm confused. They look for a little bit of everything I think we can all agree on that their verse in what they're smelling out Totally Okay well good to know

You ready for another hack? This one's really just like This is a life hack By definition A hot and dry life hack Coffee in ice cube tray So cold brew doesn't water down Now talk to me when I can order that

You can't order frozen coffee ice You should be able to But I think because you're not needing coffee ice as much as you could, I think that you could find yourself having an burst of energy and you could maybe fill up your ice container with coffee. But then that takes so long for it to freeze. That's the thing that sucks about it. No, no, no, you make the coffee and leave it out so it's room temp.

And then once it's room temp, then you put it in ice tray. But it does take. Yeah, but I'm saying if I want to make a coffee right now, it would take so long for my, if I want to make a cold coffee with cubes made of coffee right now it would take a while to freeze up the cube yeah i can't help you no i'm saying if i ordered them i'd be easier so that's a business idea just don't see like that is one we're just never going to see eye to eye on and i think we just chalk it up to dsdm yeah that's fine dsdf yeah different strokes different folks and i didn't know put eye drops on your zit and it will be less

red let's talk about because eye drops constrict your blood vessels yeah don't you is that true um It makes total sense. Yeah, but I feel like I would have known that by now if it worked. I don't know, man. I don't know. I feel like we've always had the like at-home life hacks. I know one life hack? Proactive, probably.

Probably, you could say that. Yeah, I would probably use proactive if I had the decision. Let's see via Google. While this skin hack can be useful if you have a red pimple that may be difficult to cover up with makeup products, experts do not recommend using eye drops on your pimples. It doesn't get to the root cause of acne. Okay, but you're not asking for the root cause. I need a quick fix.

I need a quick fix. Imagine how good Lumify is then. Here's the deal. Great. Yeah. I'll try it. I'll try it and let you know because I have, you can't see,

like I look like I have just like the rosiest little cute nose right now. It is a cystic pimple. So what there's, well, while on top of the service, cute, below the surface,

there's a frenzy of activity and it hurts. No, but that's not going to help if it's not on the surface at all. But there's redness. That's what I'm saying. If I wanted the redness to go away, I'd probably use Lumify. Okay, yeah.

Well, I guess we'll have to test it and see. Yeah, I wish I had it with... My mom used to say put toothpaste on pimples overnight. I think I have eye drops in my bag. Do you have a pimple? No, but you just said you do. Is it red?

You just said it's red. I can't see it because you're right there and you can see it. Come a little bit closer. Come a little closer than you see. Okay. Yeah. So, that's something to try out at home. Yeah, I'll post it on the Instagram story next pimple I get.

Did you ever put toothpaste on your zits? Did you hear me 10 seconds ago or no? I guess not. What did you say? You did, though, because I said... What did you say? What did I say? I said...

My mom used to tell me to put toothpaste on my zits. I didn't hear that. I know. Well, you did because you repeated it. Play it back. Roll the tapes. Yeah, no. I did.

And I don't think it ever worked. I don't think so either. But I like... I don't need to hold my mic anymore. I love a pimple cream. that actually completely covers it. Like I don't see it. It's buried.

It's buried so I'm not even thinking about it. I'm not touching it. And that I think is the effectiveness of toothpaste. And that's honestly why I wear pimple patches all the time. So I just don't pick, even though like some of them don't even work, you know? You know what the best remedy I've found is besides like Teetri Oil. Proactive and Syriveday and stuff is tea tree oil and salt water.

Yes. Because it tightens your skin. It pushes all that. shit out. Yeah. That brings me to another life hack that someone said, if you need clear skin for the next day, say you're going on a date or need photos taken, cry the night before. Tightened your skin. For that, for that salt water. Oh, that actually brings me to something else. What? Hickies. Talk to me about a hickey. I'll talk to you about them. Spoon? No. Spoon is a damn myth. I don't care what anybody says. Maybe it works eventually. The best thing you do is good

luck finding one, but take a wooden pencil with an eraser on the back, and you take the pencil and you put it against your neck like this and you push really hard and you twist it in kind of little motions like this, in your finger, like this, like you're rolling a bugger. It would make it worse. Because

the same way that you just said like the redness is like your blood vessels get, it's a bruise. So the more you loosen it up. Put eye drops on it. Put eye drops on your hair. No, put the pencil and twist it and it loosens it up. It goes away within like an hour. The worst of hickies, even the worst of hickies.

Interesting. Yeah. We'll have to try it out. Yeah. Give me a hicky right now and we'll try it later on in the episode. No, it's okay, actually. I got a life hack that I screenshot it because someone DM'd it because it was really long. What?

But keep looking up yours and then I'll see if I find it before you. Okay. I'm working on right now. My phone is... I have another one right now. Hit it. Hit it. Hit it.

This one's super interesting. Rebundle socks before putting them in the hamper to make sure one doesn't get lost. I do that. Sure, but I was under the impression they're getting lost inside of the washer. I've got the washer with sucking them away. Oh, this person is saying, bundle your socks before you put them in the wall. In the hamper. Before, no, that's wrong.

I rebuke that. Because they're getting lost inside of the washer, so. They're not getting lost inside the washer. Yeah, they are. Your roommates are stealing them. Your roommates are stealing one of your socks. Rebundle socks before putting them in the hamper. to make sure it wasn't.

Also, are they even getting wash if they're bundled up together? No, right? Yeah, that doesn't seem. No, you need to go loose. You need to de bundle. Debundle. Move forward with de-bundle. And go solo.

Yeah. And get back to me. Yeah, that one's not working for me right now. At this time. This one I adore. I don't pay attention to gas prices. That way I can't get mad when they keep going up. She took the words out of my mouth that I didn't even know I had.

You don't watch? She doesn't what? I don't pay attention to gas prices. That way I can't get mad when they keep mad when they keep. keep going up. I didn't even know I was hacking the mainframe and I do that all the time. Here's saying, what am I going to do? Not buy gas.

Right. I got to get there. Right. So that's, that is a good hack. My number one thing my parents say when they get to California protection. Protect us. They go, oh my God, look at these gas prices. Right.

What do you want me to say to that? Like, I'm not in charge of the gas prices. There's nothing you can do. Nothing you can do. Look at these gas prices. Yeah. And then move on. Exactly.

Good point, Connor. Yeah. Yeah, I love this because it's about protecting your peace. I also, you know, that's like, that chalked up to like, anytime you really need to fill the air and you're done with weather, say, how about these gas prices? Obviously, like, read the room, make sure you don't have, like, an audience of a minute that's going to go postal

and, like, the coffee shop or something once, you know, Biden gets interested in the conversation. But I promise you Biden has not, does not know what the gas prices are either. Like, he doesn't even know where he is right now. Yeah. Well, he's life hacking. He's life hacking. Yeah. Oh my God.

Yeah. Biden's been life hacking this whole time. By ignorance is bliss. Protect your peace. Biden made up that quote. Ignorance is bliss. He seems like he's having like an awesome time to be honest. Yeah.

He's protecting his peace. That's for darn tuned, sure. I got, someone sent me a long one. Let's see. Let's hear it. I'm going to read it, but I did not pre-vette this. Oh, it's always scary, but go ahead. I'm going to read it.

Yeah, give it a try. Okay. Honestly, this is, this one is for relationships. but my wife and I have a point system. Let's not read this. Read one of yours. No, read it. Points for what?

Read it sentence by sentence. Every day you start with 100 emotional points. Oh. Throughout the day, things that happen take points away. Work may take 50 plus points. Traffic may take 10 plus. It's all relative to that day. Then when we get home, we communicate with each other how tired we are based on how many points we have left.

If it was my turn to cook, but work can take. my ass, I'll say, hey, it's been a super long day. I have like three points left. And cooking is going to take at least 10. We've got to order food tonight. I'd be saying that every night. It's an honor system. It must be an honor system.

And that helps us communicate with each other more better than, oh, better than, oh, I don't want to. I don't want to. I'm tired. There are a few things that can add points too, but it's different for each of us. Our marriage with two kids is really easy, and this is a big part of it. Okay. I think more, yeah.

It's a Brené Brown thing, actually. Oh, she's great. Who's Brenna Brown? She's great. Motivational, like, life therapist, coach. Okay. She has so many TED Talk. I want to hold that thought.

I think that could work for some people. Oh, look at her. Yeah. She is an inspirational teacher. She's the it girl. She's the it girl. Yeah. And with a name, like, Brenet Brown, you were born to coach.

That name rolls off my tongue, like soy sauce. Okay, the reason that I'm excited about that. one is because there's a man with a wife and two kids writing into B&CMAP. Oh, I didn't even think about that. That's why I screen shot at it. I didn't even think about that. And I love you. I hope um...

Adore. Maybe that was a Bray Brown. Maybe like I'm excited to read that off because that probably resonated with like, I like the emotional system. I don't think it would work for me. No, because... I don't tell the truth. Jill and I do it. You do?

Yeah, we started, because she saw all the Bruney Brown TikTok and then she'll come home. after a long day of teaching students all day and I'll be at work and then she'll be like, I'm at 20%. What are you at? I'm at 60%. But it has to be an honor system. Oh, I mean, you're not keeping records. Yeah, because my ass would be like, I feel bad, but I'm going to say 10%.

The thing is, I think I wake up at 3%. So I think that's my issue is that I'd be in the negatives by the time I got home every day, you know? Yeah. But I see how it works for some people. That's great. You do have to find out what works best for you.

I guess Brunee Brown's. Bray Brown Job. I need her to drop an album. Her career, her occupation is providing people with life hacks. She's a hacker. Brne Brown and Joe Biden go on tour. Live show win.

Hacks. Hacks. Hacks. With Brney and Biden. With Brown and Biden. Free idea. Mike drop. Well, for some reason I'm addicted to Brneesne, saying Bray Brown.

Okay. Do you want to say it a few times? Yeah. Brenna Brown. Go ahead. I'm going Brenet Brown mode over here.

At what points are you at right now? I'm feeling good. I'm at like 98 because of my two hours of traffic driving driving 35 miles this morning at 5 a.m. Oh, how many points am I at right now? Yeah.

Maybe like 15? Have a tot. Have a tot. I have. Have a tator talk. I have. 15 because I didn't, I don't sleep Tuesday nights anymore

because I have some sort of psychological barrier for whatever reason. and something else, do you recall? I don't remember. No. Maybe I'm at like 50. That's a pretty big, like, flexible range.

What was I? 15. Oh. So you're actually 35 points higher than you originally dot? You seem like at least 50, maybe 60. I don't know why. Like, I can't get a reading on my point system right now. You're not in touch with your body.

I'm not in touch with my points, my emotional points right now. You're not Brunee Browning. over there? No, I'm not. Well, I had this coffee and I'm an empty something, so I'm about to Brené Brown my pants. So I'm looking forward to our 10-minute break in between this and close friends, so I can have some thoughts. Do you want to Brené Brown now? No, I'll hold my Brené Brown for a bit. More comfortable as we move forward in the podcast?

No. Okay. Sounds good. Good. Oh, see, this is like an idea of a life hack right here. So some people paint their keys on their key chains. I'm always so scared I'm going to get somewhere and I'm going to be in a tight spot someone's coming back behind me with a knife

and I'm going to have to fumble all my janitorial key ring and get in my door why are we painting them because one's your mailbox one's your car key one's your home key look at all these keys

oh my God Ryan you're a hacker too you color your things or if you have a nail polish you could do that today um I went to get my keys copied yeah two days ago left the copies and the original at the at the kiosk.

Okay, get this. I went to get, I made, I took, I lost my keys in my house. Told me roommates, I need to borrow someone's key. Yeah, go make copies. Left it there and I didn't push it in all the way when I made the copies. So they all came out false. So I had to wait three hours. I had, there is.

And then I had to tell them I left your key. Yeah. Those machines, did you go to one of those machines? Yeah. I found a great, I've got a great key guy for you. You got a key guy? I got a key guy. I got a key person.

Every day you come in here more and more rich. It's three bucks. I guess. Got a key guy? Yeah. But it was an amazing day because I went to, I tried to go to like Ralphs or something to and copy my keys. Couldn't find a parking spot.

So just left. And then I was driving here. And then on the side of the road saw a key, a key kiosk. A key kiosk, if you will. And I've been going ever since. It's awesome. How often do you need to go to the key kiosk? Well, I need to make copies of my keys every time I get a new person to watch Frankie

because all my friends keep losing my keys. Right. So. You should make like six and keep them in like a bag in your car. Well, there's about 16 of my own keys that I've left at that kiosk, so I've got to go pick them up. Anyway. Right. This is sweet.

Someone said, I watch your podcast while I do dishes because I hate doing dishes, but I love you guys. which is so sweet and so true. I used to do that to go to the gym. I would only watch my favorite show when I was on the treadmill. I used to do that at my horrible, horrible job. I hope there's someone out there right now on Excel inputting things, like the most monotonous to ask

that definitely should be autonomized via AI. Unfortunately, I put a lot of us out of work at entry-level positions, but I used to hate that, and I always just put on people's podcast, and it was like, I was excited to get on Excel because it looked like I was super busy, but I was really just listening to a podcast.

Now, I have one that I put in my phone last night. It's kind of different, but kind of the same. If you hate doing laundry, plan your laundry for a night that you have something fun happening that you're maybe going to have drinks at or something, and start drinking while you're doing your laundry and turn on music. And it's like a pregame and you have like an activity. It's like you're folding your laundry and hanging it up,

but you're kind of like a little bit drunk. Alcoholic hour. Life pack drink whenever there's something that you. you don't really want to do. Oh. Yeah. Okay. Okay.

So. Perfect. I think that's fun. Yeah. Totally. Like when I had a big essay due in college, I would always like, go to the pregame, come home, type my essay. And I would get the best grades because my inhibitions were lowered.

Okay. Interesting. I don't know if I could write an essay after a cocktail or two. Well, DSDF. Yeah. Hey, man. Yeah.

Okay. Here's one and I don't think it's a life hack. Okay. Hit me. I back into parking spots and driveway so I don't have to back out. The net energy you're spending backing in and then driving out is more from a net perspective. Well, yeah. Then driving in head on and then backing out.

Your gross time overall. Your gross time and energy overall is more when you're backing in. Well. 90% of the time. Yeah, we don't know there's skill level backing in some people are just like gods of backing in

oh, oh Ryan's like up a back in self-for-glam I'll see you outside after this but like for me it does take it longer and it's not like when I'm leaving a place I'm not like oh I need to get

the fuck out of here right I'm not like robbing a bank so I have time to back out usually like it's not worth it to me to make it like I'm not you're not saving that much time because unless you're really good at backing in,

it's going to take the same amount on the front end or on the back end to back out. That's what I'm saying. It even's even harder to back in and back up. Now, if you are someone who really likes the front of your car to show to everybody, by all means, back in. Right, but then that's just not a life hack.

That's just you wanting to show the front of your car. I guess, okay, here's, and this is where we have a disconnect. Because if your life hack, if that's making your life better, like technically... I think it's about making your life easy. Easier. More efficient.

Yeah. I don't think it's easier because like... Okay, more efficient. There's nothing efficient about wanting to show people the front of your car. It's easier for rich people to get health care in the United States, but that's not a life hack to just have more money. Right. That's a different layer that we're not even accessing right now. Life hacks are layered.

Yeah. Speaking of this one cracks me up. Okay. Give it to me then. when your AirPods die swallow them whole if you just put them back in the case for two minutes they'll charge

if your phone dies if you charge it it will be charged more yeah so I appreciate I appreciate the time that was taken to send this in I love it you just wait until we get to the urban legends it's straight up

I'll just tell you when we get there it straight up is like my parents lied to me that's what all of them were my parents used to say my dog ran away it died. They put it down. Like that you're just your parents line to you.

Right. That's not like a universal urban legend. Sometimes when I'm hungry I eat. Yeah. Facts on God. Yeah. Sometimes when I'm sick I go to the doctor. Okay, I could stop now, I guess.

Do you want more life hacks or do you want to move on to your urban legend? No, give me one more life hack. Okay, let me get one really good. Liking the life hacks, honestly. Okay. Is everybody liking this kind of vibe here? I feel like I'm liking the life hacks. I haven't learned anything from anybody besides

Besides like honestly Can I say something? Yeah, you can Without getting in trouble? Is it a bit? Yeah, you can. I always take my AirPods out and set them next to my AirPods case. Oh, I do too, Connor.

So that might have been like a nice reminder. They're out of my case right now. My case is in my car. My AirPods are packed in my backpack. My case is just usually uncharged. No, I'm always walk up to put my AirPods in for a run And they're sitting right next some inch away from my case dead. But you know what I simply do?

Put them in for two minutes. Two minutes. That's all it. Two minutes is all it takes. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Whoa. Life hack alert.

Okay. This I don't even know if this is true. Call me Brunee Brown over here. This I don't know if it's true. Okay. Hit me. Draw chalk around things you don't want ants going in. They can't pass chalk.

That's true. I had no idea. Yeah. That's true. Because the chalk, even though it's invisible to the naked eye, is actually like elevated for an ant? It's not invincible to the naked eye. You see chalk.

I don't see elevation. Oh. Do you see what I'm saying? Like can the ants physically not crawl? Like ants can crawl up a wall, though. Like ants can crawl up a wall. Are they allergic to chalk? When a pheromone trail is disrupted by chalk or a line drawn by their path of

scent trail they were following is temporarily disconnect. So like, oh, it's a fairone issue. They follow. Yeah, it's all about pheromones at the end of the day. Okay. This one, maybe you could help me understand this one. I do one redacted quote. Yeah.

Yeah. All right, Mrs. Puff. What did I get? Six. And what did I need to pass? Six. Oh, 100. What?

You are amazing. It's crazy the things that stick in your brain, but I took four years of Spanish and I can't say a sentence. Isn't it? It took me a while to remember, OLA yesterday. The way your brain. brain works is awesome.

And don't let anyone ever tell you it's not, Connor. I won't. Okay. Speaking of your awesome brain, maybe you can help me understand this. Wrap the waist of a pair of pants around your neck. And if the ends line up perfectly, they'll fit. And if the ends line up perfectly, they'll fit. My neck is not the same size.

Do you have an extra pair of pants sitting around? Do we? Yeah. If you go to the store, if you were maybe at, let me think of who would maybe give me a brand deal. No clothing companies want to work with me for some reason. Do you do one you've already done a brand deal with it. I've never done clothes. Oh, Viori. It doesn't work because they have elastic waste band mostly. How about trying to just do like Gap? How about you do American Eagle? Oh, do it, man. Okay. Okay, say you're at American Eagle and you're getting a pair of jeans. I think this only works if you

are getting like denim or something that doesn't stretch and you take the two like farthest apart sides and you put it around your neck and you touch it. If it touches perfectly, it's going to fit your waist. If it's too loose, if it goes over, it's too loose. It works. My neck's not the same size as my waist. I think that circumference blows people's minds. It must. Girth blows people's minds.

Oh, I guess I'm fitting inside of the pants via my waist and my neck is surrounded by the pants. But I don't. Huh? Yeah. Okay. Here, oh, wait, can we watch it? Yeah, see, this is the visual if you're on YouTube. If the waist fits perfectly around your neck, that means they fit.

And like several people tried out, it worked every single time. If the corners touch, like so. Okay. If it's kissing corners, that means it works. That's a life hack. Yeah. That's a life hack. This one, this is a life hack.

He's happy. Oh, precious. This is a life hack as well, what I'm about to tell you. What? God damn. I need frozen grapes in wine for a chilled experience without letting the water. water it down. Are you obsessed with ice?

I might be. Did you ever think of putting frozen grapes in your wine for a more chilled experience without watering it down? Sangria, maybe. That's all different types of fruit. What did I? Oh, you know what? I don't think there are grapes in Sanctuary. You know what, Brooke?

I apologize to you. I love it. For what? I was in a really tough spot during COVID. Couldn't go get ice. So I'd use, mm-hmm. I'd use frozen sausage for my water one time. frozen

frozen sausage but your life would have been a lot easier if you ordered ice couldn't because you couldn't touch anybody oh wow drivers were driving chet you betcha okay I loved

I actually have a TikTok about it it was good because it gave like who says it solids can't be like like hint water is like a hint of watermelon who says I can't have a hint

of apple wood smoked sausage I would say a lot of people would say that I know, but maybe DSDF after all. Different strokes that we can't have sausage water. Yeah, sausage water. That every, yeah. Why drag it out?

Yes. Yeah. All right. Here's two I got right next to each other. And I got tons of variations of these both. And this is an interesting conversation starter and a head scratcher. First one, let me finish both. First one, it's free if you pay by card.

second one if you pay with cash you don't lose any money I feel that way with cash I don't carry cash I don't feel that way with card it's cash because you don't see anything coming out of you also like you have a credit card limit do people not look at their credit card limit or do they just go over their credit card limit well it's kind of like gas prices like if you don't look it's not there oh I don't have that

you look at your I check all the time because I always assume it's going to get denied I can't look I also watch watching it car wreck. Yeah, no. I don't, I feel the credit card swiping. I'm more so than paying cash. Cash, I'm like, oh, I got cash.

Got to get rid of it. You're saying you think when you buy things on a card, it's free? No, I'm saying cash. Like, I can't, I don't carry cash, you know? So are you saying that it's free if you pay with card or it's free if you pay with cash? I don't think either than fit free to me. But I do like, I would rather spend cash.

Like, like, if there is a homeless person, I'm like, here's 20 bucks, you know? And like a lot, I think a lot of people would be like, five, you know, but I'm like, I don't really want to hold cash on my person. Because my wallet is this big. For me, cash is spending cash is. Cash is king. Free. Yeah. You're not spending money when you're spending cash.

That's what I'm saying. Okay. That was a bad example. But I'm saying, like, I feel more generous with cash, you know, for a tip at a like, I'll just leave the 20. You know, I don't want to, because I don't want dollar bills back. Right. You're wanting to get rid of the cash anyway. Yeah.

I'm like, I'll go play a claw machine 40 times. times. I put clothes in the dryer with an ice cube and it gets the wrinkles out without having to steam. That's a good one. Is that true? That seems like it would just like be mayhem in the dryer. It would be loud, but just leave.

If you're pooping in public and have nowhere to put your bag, hang your bag around your neck, that feels cumbersome. Cumbersome. Walk me through that. I think that's the right word. Cumberthum. Like a nuisance, a physical nuisance, kind of. I'm adding that to my list.

I don't know if that's the right definition now that you mention it. Okay, cumbersome. Large or heavy and therefore difficult to carry or use. Yeah, that's kind of right. Well, what if it's like a tiny purse? Brooke, look at my picture today on my phone. What is it? It's a picture of you.

I don't know what you're doing. Let me see. Oh, sorry. Could you put it closer to my eyes? I don't know what that is. I can't even begin to think of the context. We were on a plan to go see the Jonas Brothers, I think. Oh, that's sweet.

Okay. Sure. Yeah, I guess technically. that's another one that's like for me it would be easier to put my bag on the ground. E. It is what it is. I'm not sleeping in bed with my bag. I would need to hold it like this or put it on my lap.

Yeah, I probably lap it. I don't know, Connor. I don't know either. Should we do some urban legends? Yeah. Let me know when you're ready. This one I thought of you. Maybe you should consider.

We're spending too much money on Uber so I just move next to my favorite bar. Yeah. Yeah. That's a life hack. Yeah, that's a life hack. I guess if it's like the same rent and it's your favorite bar, that's awesome. I also was like moving based on my favorite bar. My last place.

I just realized that. I screenshoted this one for you too. I put peanut butter in a plastic bag and then put that bag in warm water so that I can drizzle peanut butter on my yogurt. Oh. And I thought of that for you because you love peanut butter and you could do it on your mush. Wow. They make peanut butter mush. Okay.

Wouldn't you like to add peanut butter on top? To a different dark chocolate one I would. Yeah. Oh my God, I love mush. I'm thinking about mush. I mean, there's a delicious steak sandwich right next to me, but I would maybe have some mush instead. Wow.

Last one. Yeah, hit me, hit me, hit me. Wait, I have one in between, because it reminded me. It was a life act too. They said, and this one gave me chills up and down my body. They said, when your Nutella or your peanut butter is almost out, scoop some ice cream into it and use it as the ice cream container. And then you get that experience.

Complete full body chills. that is a life hack. That is a life hack. We should have written down the ones that we both stamped as life hacks. We'll have to watch the episode and pull it back up.

Yeah, that's a good point. Last one. Instead of cutting carrots, I bite them into bites like pieces and then spit them out in the salad. Don't even need to have a conversation. Like instead of shredded carrots that are good in salads,

totally chew them up, spit them out. Same exact thing. You're paying less money for buying baby carrots. Done. I would do that with apples, celery,

um, The list goes on. Certified life hack. Yeah, certified life hack. Okay, that's it for my hack. Sometimes, instead of even squeezing the toothpaste, I just suck a little bit out. And then start brushing my teeth. That's a good idea.

Yeah. I cut out the bottom. I cut off the bottom of my toothpaste and stick my toothbrush in it. Whoa. Oh, yeah. This man did this, and I couldn't help but feel like really jealous of him because I've been known. I'm not pulling out a knife. Yeah.

That makes total sense to me. Me too. It's yours. You're putting in your body. Your body, your choice. Yeah. All right. Guys, we're going to move over to the Urban Legends.

I did have a lot of fun with the Lifehacks. I love that you had a good time. That was fun and different. Nobody else is doing it like BN, C, MAP. Yeah. Damn. Okay. So I also gave everybody the opportunity to send in Urban Legends.

Now, there was a deep, deep, deep disconnect. I don't know if most of our followers do not speak English or if I didn't know what an urban legend was, but my oh my there are so many old men living in the woods behind people's houses like they're like the urban legend when I was growing up was there was an old uh scary man I was like that's an urban legend old scary man legend yeah that's like a town urban legend old town specific okay everybody has him though he's he's omnipresent did you have the headless horseman I've heard of the headless horseman but my dad said he was in my back my personal backyard what is with parents like scaring the shite out of people yeah

No, Brooke, let me go through these. Some of these are just like parents literally brutally kind of... Yeah, yeah. Because people are like, oh, I have to pull up this one that this dude said to his girlfriend and he was like, I've never said that out loud since I was 11. I don't know why I said that. Okay. Okay, I found it.

Me and an ex were making the bed and I went to rip off the long ass tag off his mattress. He said, don't rip that off. It will tear a hole in the ozone. We stared at each other blankly and he said, That's the first time in adulthood. I've said that out loud, I guess. That isn't the truth, huh? In the ozone, we've had an entire episode about the ozone now that you mention it.

Whoa, the ozone was like something that we used to talk about. We used to be obsessed with the ozone. We were in our ozone era. Yeah. We were kind of. Since we haven't so much time on it, could you tell me what it is? There's layers to this shit. Literally.

Yeah. But no, I can't tell you what it is. If you had to say what the ozone was. The ozone is a protective layer of the atmosphere that protects us. Need I go on? 100%. The ozone layer is then part of the atmosphere that absorbs almost all of the sun's harmful. You literally said it better than Google.

Legend. And I made it accessible to more people. You did. You hank greened it. Accessible information for the masses. That's what we are all about here. Whoa. Whoa.

Now let's go through our bullet points, Brooke. What bullet points? the things that you can expect on BNCMAP Okay Speaking on things we know nothing about That's bullet point number one Speaking on things we know everything about For example ozone

Specifically science related Making up facts Yeah And just leaning into them No we sent bullet points to each other I have to read them off Okay I don't remember where we put them

I screenshoted it Okay But it's gonna take a while I just give up Okay Giving up You can expect to see Live action giving up

On B2 Live action giving up on B2 Live action You can watch us quit while we're behind. Okay. But I do know that there's some myth or maybe not even a myth. On the mattresses, they all say it is a federal offense to rip the tag off your mattress. I always thought that the police would come in busting down my door if I so much is had a teeny tiny rip in that tag.

No wonder like our parents are like the phones are listening or they're watching us. They are. Well, we're just cool with it. But like that's what they were raised thinking that the mattress gods. we're going to bust the door down and beat their ass. Why does it say that? Why does it say that? Asking you, what you can find on B&C?

Asking the hard-hitting, important question. Why, Brooke? Why was it illegal to remove the mattress tag? I'll tell you. As soon as the government caught on, oh, hang on, mattress salespeople found a clever workaround, just rip the tag and sell their bacteria-filled products on suspecting customers.

As soon as the government caught on to these shenanigans, they required the addition of the do not remove message to be included by law on every mattress tag. Now, what were the shenanigans? I don't get it. I think we lost a little bit of context. I think we need more context. Here it is. Why all the drama about the silly little label?

It's one of those things with an interesting backstory that begins in the early 20th century when mattress makers and sellers are engaging in some pretty shady business practices, which I imagine they're still up to now because there's so many mattress stores. Sorry for a different day. At that time, mattress makers are. were known to cut corners by stuffing the mattresses with some pretty repulsive garbage, like discarded food, old rags, horsehair. Inevitably, this would distract lice bedbugs and a number of unwelcome bedfellows.

It's safe to say these were not luxury mattresses. So the government had a bright idea. Let's require the manufacturers to attach labels to new mattresses, saying that all the materials were used, all the... Whatever, they were new. Matches to sales, people found a clever workaround, blah, blah, blah. Do not remove. Okay. What stops me from...

moving it when I get at home. Not a darn thing. Not a goddamn thing. Your mattress, your choice. Imagine if that was somebody's job, like a parking ticket officer. Bed checks. Somebody came around, knocked on your door and had a mattress inspection for the tag. It's giving dark.

Giving dark and stormy. What's the next urban ledge? Okay. that a lot of people didn't want to shower when it was storming out because they were scared that the lightning would conduct. I'm not kidding, 50 people wrote in that they still are nervous to take showers when it's storming out. Is that not true? The lightning will conduct through the pipes into their shower and they'll be electrocuted. That's my favorite tattoo.

Everyone always said don't shower during the storm. Oh, I never got that. Oh my God, I got it. I didn't know you could. Could, can you? What? I have never in my life shower during a storm. Brooke, what?

That's the best time to shower. It's like being outside, but you're inside. And you know what? I never even asked why. I didn't even think about the lightning being apart. I just said, someone said, don't shower during a storm. I said, okay. Let's go to the experts, Mythbusters.com.

A person can be electrocuted, okay. A person can be electrocuted by using the shower during a lightning storm. Yeah. Verdict, plausible. Plausible. The dummy was not hit. A small fire did occur, however, and the volumet volt meter again blew a fuse. during both experiments, small electromagnetic pulses interfered with the camera.

Okay, so there's not enough to... It's not going to kill you. But it might. Yeah, but... I would rather avoid the small electrical fire in my shower if I can. Whoa, I'm getting in. It's not a toaster in the bathtub. It's like a little shock.

Yeah. Yeah. Woo! I wouldn't mind a little shock to my system every now and then. Do you remember that game? I do not understand lightning. I just want to lay that out there. Do not understand it.

I don't even try. Do you not have to? Do you understand Thunder? Brooke, you think if I don't understand Lightning, I understand Thunder? No, I was just asking. Those are two separate, like, men in the sky to me. They're... Aw, they're brothers.

They're mythical beasts to me. I think that is, like, Greek mythology. Thunder? Well, people think that, like, I'm sure in Greek mythology or some sort of mythology, people think that... Some girl wrote in and said that she was told that lightning was either... That's Zeus. God moving his furniture around or he was bowling. And when it lightninged, it means that he got a strike.

And I was like, it lightnings every time it thunders. Yeah. Or it thunders every time at lightnings. On God. Mode. No, it thunders every time at lightnings. You're right. Because lightning comes...

Chicken and the egg. No, lightning comes first. Because speed of light is faster than speed of sound. Oh, my God. Good job. I love having my thighs out on set. you always do yeah no I don't I never wear shorts

in this jaunt oh I feel like I'm always looking at your smiley tattoo oh here we go how lightning develops positive charges negative charges and then you know one thing leads to another and it has oh it's because there's a positive charge

on the ground and the negative is attacked it to the positive are you telling me that now you get it no yeah that made it worse life hack don't even try life hack Joe Biden at Don't look into it.

Just move on. Move on. Try to get up those stairs. Except that there are some things like just like you're not in your realm. No. God no. I wouldn't, I wouldn't even try. So a lot of these, this person said my grandma told me that.

So the main one that we talked about is that if you flash your lights at somebody who has their lights off, it's a gang initiation. And if they, like they were, they're told to be initiated, they need to kill you. The first person that flashes them to turn on their lights. That's what I was told. They are going to kill you. That the people with their lights off are gang members and they're waiting for the first person flash them. And the initiation is you have to kill the people that tell you to turn your lights on the first people. And never heard that.

So you know, you would never heard that. A lot of people wrote in and they were like, me too. I heard that too. And like it was a gang initiation thing. And then, but my parents also told me to use it to like warn people about cops so that the people that you're passing don't speed pass them. If they're at a speed trap. A lot of it is like there's a deer in Texas. There's a deer up there.

Slow down. that kind of stuff. So, but like, someone else wrote in and was like, yeah, my, someone I know was killed in that gang, gang initiation thing. That's so scary. Which, I don't know if they're messing around, but. So that's going to make me not going to flash my lights ever. I don't, I mean, I'm not going to speak to it because I told people to bring cocaine to the airport

earlier. Right. So I'm just going to say, judgment call. Uh-huh. Yeah. Anyways. my grandma told me that the beeping sound that goes off when you don't put it in your seatbelt

is the car calling the police Oh, that's good Yeah That's that's smart on grandma's Yeah, a lot of these are like This one, yeah I mean that makes sense too I think it's smart

It's so smart to lie to your kids If it's keeping them safe And the lie is not hurting anyone Well it gets weird when they leave your household And they start telling other people that And then they hear from other people's parents And kids that like your parents are insane and then you go back and you're just like, who are you people?

You've been lying to me? I guess I'd rather be like a liar and have a weird kid than have a kid that doesn't wear seatbelt. On God. Yeah. Skunks come out when children cry if your windows are open so you can't cry if they're open or else it'll smell like skunks. That sounds like this is a broken home

and they don't have AC and so don't cry too loud after we beat your ass because it'll smell bad. But why would the parents want them to cry with the, windows closed. They're just saying don't cry with the windows open. Right, but why is it okay to cry with the windows closed? Because no one will hear you. Oh, that's dark. Yeah. That's so dark actually now that you mention it. My mind didn't even go there first due to darkness. No. Darkness. Why darkness? It's because it's dark. Well, who's dark? Oh, it's dark. Oh, it's dark. It's dark and stormy as well. Yeah. Lightning. Okay. Milk makes your bones stronger. Calcium makes your

is there a lot of calcium and milk? I think that's a point of milk. So like that's, this is when the disconnect started to happen with the urban legends. I think that's a giant. How does Goatman in Maryland equate to bones make your milk stronger? Yes. We knew what you meant. You know my heart.

Oh my gosh. Oh, I got a good itch. Nice. Hell yeah. Okay, there's no evidence that drinking milk can prevent from bone fractures or osteoporosis. There's no evidence. No, the dairy and bone health link is one of the most pervasive milk myths. One large-scale Harvard study followed 72,000 women for two decades.

Follow 72,000 women for two decades. Number one unemployed activity known to man. Leave those women alone. Also, what other milk myths are there? Oh, Brooke. I want to know about the milk myth. Let's dive into the milk myths. Let's do that in the bonus because we're kind of done this episode.

The myth. Milk is full of hormones. Just not true. The myth. We're doing it now. No. Inaccurate. The myth.

Milk is packed with additives. Dot, dot, dot. The myth. Milk causes mucus and congestion. I think that's on top. That's real. That's on God. Dairy.

Dairy makes people, me. I love milk. I don't care what it does to me. Okay. Well, I can't trust any of those myths now. Mm-hmm. Oh, urban legend.
