Steamy romances, irresistible love stories, and the book to screen favorites you've already read twice. Off campus, L, every year after, the love hypothesis, Sterling Point, and more. Slow burns, second chances, chemistry you can feel through the screen.

Your next obsession is waiting. Watch only on Prime. So I opened my dishwasher to take the dishes out. They've run through the cycle. And in there, in the dishwasher, on a fork, if you will, is the tiniest little caterpillar. He was so cute. Lime green, about yay big. I'm going to, like, this big, about an inch.

I get him out and I say, are you okay? Check his vitals. He's good. He's fine. I have a little jar for my knick-knacks. And I put him in there with a stick and some kale. and I say, what am I going to do with you? And like one thing I do another,

and now it's me and Wormie against the world. And so I have Wormie, and suddenly Wormie starts to get kind of lethargic. And I'm like, oh, no, can you do CPR to Wormie? And I go to, I'm like, okay, I think he might be on his way out. I put him at the window and I leave the lid open in case he just wants to get some fresh air for the day.

Wormy starts to build a chrysalis. Yes, she did. She or Hugh, depending on, and they started to spin kind of in this circle and build out a cocoon. Yeah. So I'm like, oh, Wormy is Pokemoning. Right in front of my eyes. Evolving.

Evolving. Yeah. There's a science word for that. They started to become something completely. completely different in front of my eyes. And I look it up. Wormy ended up in the trash can that day, in the jar, lit on. Can you paint a picture of what?

Just the most freaking, scariest thing I've ever seen straight up out of like a horror movie. And the fact that I had this beast living in my house, this creature of the night, literally like birthed from Satan's cooch. I was like, you're not living another day. Not if I have anything to say about it. Sorry if that changes anyone's view of me. You're publicly admitting to killing one.

I had to kill. Wormy, yeah. Oh my God. No, no, no, no. I can't even look at what Wormy you can. No, I can't. Really quick, I am going to have a wee bit of a heat stroke in this sweater. I just wanted to make a formal announcement to everyone that sweater weather is back in L.A., kind of.

It's 60 degrees, which means I'm wearing a Brooke original knit that I wanted to. show you all. Here it is. And that, can you hold this for me? Oh yeah, give it to me. Yeah.

So here is the kind of the front, the front piece. Ew. The front piece is kind of just like gorgeous like that. And then on the back, it says, my tummy hurts. I don't know if you can kind of see that,

but I'm kind of over that saying because I thought it was really funny. You change it to stomach. When I, I wanted to, it doesn't fit. Hmm. put a patch over it. No, that's not how knitting works. But anyway, then everyone started saying my tummy hurts,

and then I thought it was not funny anymore because it just kind of happens that way. So I wanted to show you guys that really quick before I take it off and kind of working on another piece right here, almost done, just a few rows left. And if we have time, maybe I'll kind of put a few stitches in it, but kind of might hold off on doing that until the bonus. So I can give you my full attention.

It's your God-given right to do that. Yeah. Okay, taking this off. Okay. So. I'll go ahead and intro us. I'll double mic it for the intro. Can I do this?

Yeah, you can. I've never done this. I don't know if it's legal. Are like messing anything up. Hey guys, welcome back to Brooke and Connor. Make a podcast. We're so excited to be back. It's episode, I don't know, we're quickly approaching 50.

No. Yeah, we are. It's 40 something. I know. We're quickly approaching 50. So like 40 is. if you were counting up where it's pretty close to 50

in comparison to like numbers before and we are so excited to be here the weather is cold as Brooke mentioned I don't have any direction for this but so I'm gonna hand the mic back thank you yeah but we're just I think we have a really fun show

we kind of this will be a less structured show because we just are here yeah because I just we have been out of office for like a week now. So we've got a lot of, we got a lot of ketchup, yeah. Yeah. Do you want me to give you a present that I got for you to kind of loop you back up?

I would love to just loob me directly upwards. I can loob you upwards. But, okay. So precursor, it's not what it was supposed to be, like at all. Great. So I ordered you a bumper sticker that I saw from a targeted Instagram ad. Right. However, it's the size of my pinky finger.

Well, it could. That's okay. Oh my God, is it going to be... What? What do you think? I just think it's... Is it going to be a triathlon? No.

13.1. No. So I got you... This was supposed to be full-sized. It says... Melf. Man, I love frogs. Why is it so small?

I don't know. I ordered a bumper sticker. It's a bumper sticker for a key of soul. Yeah, but you could put it on your phone. Okay. Yeah. Or your computer or whatever you want. I love that.

Thanks, Khan. And then this was kind of the bonus that I threw in to get free shipping. Oh. Honk if you love frogs. And you have 20-20 vision from back there. Yeah. Honk if you've hit, if you've rear-ended me and also love frogs.

So these are completely, it's completely up to you where you want to put them. Oh, I love it. I love them. Yeah. Oh, my God. Of course, honey. It's really special. I do love frogs.

Yeah. I know. Me too. So the man I love frogs says it's Milf. It just says milf really big. Yeah. Which is true. Yes.

Which is also true. That's what Milf originally stood. for. Yeah. Yeah. This is the kind of frog that I had. Really?

The fat one. I want a tree frog, I think. Yeah. It's just, but I want to cuddle with something. Yeah. No,

and that's where you're going to lose it. That's why I want that massive CGI frog that I sent you because it's like you could cuddle with it. Yeah. Of all the animals that I've had, which we've talked to by this before, there is the point of animals

where you think that you're going to Nigel Thornberry it. Yeah. And like you're going to be able to break, What is the one that talked to them? Angelica? No, he didn't talk. He just had a big nose. Dill?

Pickle? No. The woman, the little girl. Eliza? Eliza. Eliza. Eliza could talk to them. And like I always feel like when I'm in a closed environment with an animal, I'm like, it's just us now.

Yeah. You're safe here. Like, I'm not, I don't, I won't tell anyone. I'm not going to, who am I going to turn you into? The cops? I used to feel that way, but I'm cool with it. I'm cool with whatever you want to do. So just talk, tell me.

Yeah. Tell me what you know. Right, tell me. As if they haven't, whatever this animal is, isn't going to be like, like what they're going to be a brilliant mastermind. They don't know anything. You know, it'd be like, it's cold out today. I'd be like, it is.

Thank you for, let me know. Still waiting for my stuffed animal. You know, hodgepodge, of course. Yeah. I sleep with every night. I'm still waiting for him to say his first words. I've been waiting for 24 years for him to open his goddamn mouth. But he's a stubborn one, that hodgepodge.

Stupid bitch. I kind of want to get a tattoo of him. Yeah, that'd be cool. But now everyone's kind of doing that as well. Oh, are they? Like getting their stuffed animal. But I want a frog, like in the style. By the way, I always see comments that's like Brooks birthmark is shaped like Yoda.

It's a tattoo of a bee that I got before I decided I hated bees. But now it serves as a reminder that I'm a survivor of my bee sting. Yeah. Yeah. And then I have this butterfly, which is stupid. But I want a frog. in that style if you want to get it with me. There's no, so there's no style of a frog.

I've looked into it. There's no style of a frog that I could get that I can appreciate it. I like that kind of more simple. Yeah, I don't want an intricate. And there's no way you could do a frog that isn't detailed. Do you mind if I send you a few examples? Yeah, sure, go for it. Okay.

I also have a really good tattoo person that would do a great frog. Okay. And I'm pretty sure he had some frogs on his sheet. And if I found a good design, you would get it with me. Yeah? Well, that's not, let's not jump in. Why? Yeah, see, like.

No, but that's not kind of, that's not what I'm talking about. No. Oh, you don't want to get a matching frog with me? No, no, I just don't want to get a, I don't think I want to get a frog on me. Okay. You want to go with me, though? Sure. Yeah, I'll do it for you.

I'll do the tattoo. No, no, no, that's not what I'm asking. Okay, well, I just took it one step too far, I guess. No, that's completely fine. Okay, well, why did we, how do we get there? I was giving you a present to lub you up. Oh, I'm lubed up. How are you feeling?

I think I'm ready. There's a level of mystery and fear of the unknown that I have for today because I don't know where we're going to go. Well, do you mind if I ask, I haven't seen you in two weeks, you've been away. How was that? It was good. I had another wedding. I went to Boston, actually. I forgot.

Oh, my God. That feels like forever ago. I was so jealous seeing that foliage. Oh, man. One thing about leaves? They're going to change colors in the Northeast. We all We all

Stay the same Leaves just keep on changing No that's why I kind of But if you say anything confidently enough Like you can just keep flowing Okay They just kind of do their thing You know

And then they fall and then it's on to the next Yeah I really have been Like I never ever thought I'd have a qualm about L.A. weather But this fall I've really just been struggling with the lack of seasons.

Sure. That's why I went. That's why I took a six-hour flight was to see a couple trees. Yeah. And it was worth it. I should have done it. You know, because, and then, like, I get back here and it's raining all, it's just crappy out.

And it's funny, because you never think you have seasonal depression until the sun comes out and you're like, I'm on, I'm on rave drugs. Yeah, like Molly. Yeah. Like, I could, I'm listening to the black eyed peas, like, bopping my head around. I'm like, yeah. And it's like, why am I in such a good movie? Oh, because the sun's out.

Right. And then, like, you know, it starts raining and I'm like, should I kill my own? No, but it's all, it's perspective. Yeah. That's not exactly the right word, relative. It's all relative because. Subjective.

No, I'm going to stick with relative. But person by person or objectivity. No, I'm going to stick with relative. Okay. Because it's raining today. Yeah. And because it never rained, I'm euphoric. Whereas I wouldn't be euphoric if the sun came out.

So it's all relative. Yeah. To where you are and what your seasons are like. in the place that you are living. Yeah, I guess you're right. I will say one thing about, like, if, you know, not, if you don't live in L.A., you don't get this at all. Hmm, what was I going to say?

If you don't live in L.A., you don't get this at all. Like, I don't know what I was going to say. Okay. Oh, yes, I do. There's no point living in L.A. when it's crappy for the next two months. And we get, I think I post. You mean the only purpose of L.A. is the weather? Yeah.

So when it's like about to rain for two months That's never the case that it is I posted about it Sorry There's someone someone let me know that I burp Constantly it's because I love sparkling water Yeah I love liquid death

I hate bubbles I'm loving bubbles I got a soda stream I got a soda stream We're getting off track Okay so the weather You got a soda stream Okay I want to get to that

So the weather when it's like crappy for two months So I posted about it And someone was like Did you shave some of your eyebrows Remember that video? And I was like, no, eyebrows, whatever. Also, I'm getting fat. I'm kind of depressed.

And it was because of the weather. Like, it's just the weather's been weird. Oh. I think my eyebrows kind of fall off like fall foliage in the winter. Wow. That's awesome. But we do. So I was like, oh, like, it's going to start getting cloudy and gloomy here.

And then I realized that, like, no, that's June, because June gloom. And then it happened in July this year for like half the month. And it was no sky July. I don't remember that. At all. Everyone was DMing me like, yeah, it's June and gloom. And I was like, okay, I can't wait for July, July. And I was like, this is bullshit.

I'm going to write a letter to my senator because we just did June and gloom. And they're like, no, there's no sky July now. Because the sun doesn't come out. No, I don't remember that. I would have been thrilled if there was rain here. Well, there isn't rain. That's what I'm saying. It's just gloomy.

I don't recall. At least rain. That was really nice. That gloomy and hot. Yeah. Well, not even hot. Just like sticky and wet. That was what was nice.

So, okay, so I went to Boston. Went to a Patriots game. We lost pretty bad. When you say we? The Patriots. You identify with that team. Yeah. Okay.

If I'm there. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Okay. I'm one of the boys. Okay. Yeah. Totally.

And I did make my way out onto the field after the game. Yeah. How'd you get clearance? Don't know. I was pretty, like, I had a couple beers. Uh-huh. I did this thing where, like, I was sitting with my mom and my sister and my cousin and the rest of the group that we went with. And we're like sitting there and I was like buying some beers.

And then I met these guys next to me and they were having so much fun. And so I'm drinking these beers. And then I realized they're 8% alcohol and they're like stadium sized beers. So that kind of. That's why I identify as part of the team because I kind of was fighting my own battle upstairs. Okay. Got it. Totally.

But I did make it out onto the field. I took some photos. So when the Patriots do win at home, I got something to post. Okay. Perfect. Yeah. Oh, I did post. posted. Yeah. All right. So that was a journey. Flew back to Texas because I had that wedding on

Friday. Went to that wedding. It's insane how many people you know that are getting married. I'm not going through the same experience as you. So I have one. I have one on on in on November 5th in Austin that I told them guys I'm so sorry. I can't I can't do another flight to Texas and back this month like within 30 days. I don't know what happened. I was trying to get to the bottom of why I have so many weddings coming out. By the way, I got two more save the dates at my house. I know. This week.

Wow. $5.99. $5.99. $5.99. Sorry. The dollar sign. How do I say this? How many people, is it all high school people?

These are, the two I went to last week, last month were high school. The next one, this one this week is high school. The two that I got, one of them was college and then one of them was high school. But I was like trying to get to the bottom of why everyone's getting married. I was thinking about it. The one common denominator? Texas? They're all from Texas.

Yeah. Because the first person from my high school that I know just got engaged. Where did they go to college? Miami. Oh, that's not in Texas. No. I don't think anybody went to school in Texas from my high school. But it was fascinating because there's this phenomenon called Ring by Spring that's out there.

I'm not shitting on anybody. Congratulations for finding love. Jealous. But they are married and, uh, et cetera. Yeah. And I'm like, you know, I'm at the wedding. I was in like, this is the one, by the way. One of the people that was like work in the event, the planner and like the person

that was keeping it all together came out to me. It was like, is this the wedding that you force yourself into? I was like, so she's a listener. Wow. That's amazing. So you're saying you listen. My dental hygienist listens as well. So she's like, I heard you were pretty nervous.

You're like, ah, ha, yeah. Thank you. I washed my hands in that. Yeah. Did you smell them? No. You can smell if you get a little. Oh, yeah, that's soapy.

Thank you for that, by the way. Oh, I can't. I can't. I'm going to get canceled again. You never wash your hands? No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that in a public, public restroom, sometimes I feel like it's more disgusting

to wash my hands and touch the sink than to not because in the bathroom I'm not touching anything besides the toilet paper but if I were to move forward with washing my hands I'd be touching the sink which everybody's touching with their gross disgusting post pee-pip-poo hands and I don't want to be a part of that

so do I wash my hands at home where I know it's safe of course do I use hand sanitizer sometimes yeah Rugg and I went to lunch like last week Oh god All right two

A week and a half again And this woman just walks in With a dog that's a little crusty white Bella dog Wait what do they call those dogs Like what are the name is always like Bella Oh I think you're right Yeah and this dog comes up to me

He's like Krusty white eyes and like Hey How you doing? And like everyone in line is looking at me And this dog is just at my shin level looking at me like, I've got to pet this fucking thing. I'm like petting it and my fingers got like stuck to all that thing and I'm like at lunch

and I, it walked away. By the way, it walked like just through the rest of the line. The woman's like looking at her phone. Doesn't give it. Woman I couldn't tell if she was homeless or not. I think. She paid for her meal and she had a phone. I think she was.

Anyways, I made the executive decision to smell my hand. I think. I offered you hand sanitizer, which I carry around because I use it. The smell. The smell that I smell. Yeah. You don't even, you don't have to get into it. It was like.

No, don't, don't. It was like if you. I hate hearing bad smell to describe. If you left your lunch. Yeah, I believe it was bad. Yeah, I believe it was bad. And you forgot that you had made a lunch and you find it like a week later. Okay.

And you open your lunchbox. You're like, I'm going to throw the Tupperware away. There's no saving this. That was what my hand smelled like. Okay. Anyway, so I'm at this wedding. this lady listens whatever and I'm like I had so much fun it was good to like seeing all my best friends from high school and um everyone was married though like every single person in or like engaged

and I was like okay so I told you I'd like need to get a therapist a new therapist like ASAP so I can be like what am I feeling because I'm excited for them right there's no bitterness in my heart except for the fact that they're like we're not going to go out after the wedding because it's 11 p.m. on a Friday. I'm like, why? Everybody moves at different paces. Yeah. Yeah. And I bet that those people, some of those people

who are settling down getting married, are also looking at you in the same way that you're looking at them being like, Brass is always greener. Like, is this, like, would I have been happier if I chose Conner's path? Yeah. The wedding, by the way, was gorgeous and so well done. I was like, wow, guys. And it was

really, I had a lot of fun. I did my drop down low and put my feet out thing. Oh yeah, I was just like, oh no, I'm like overcompensating not being like moving forward with like being married and children by being a degenerate at this wedding. Which like it was one of those where I'm like next day. I was like I talked to everyone and I talked way too much going out to my friend. I haven't seen since high school. Hey, didn't your parents get divorced? How's that?

You were just making conversation. Yeah, I was trying to. Yeah. But overcompensating. and they're like, ugh, like, shut up. Yeah. I'm sure that a lot of those people are looking at you in the same way. You're looking at them.

And that's what your therapist would probably tell you, if I had to guess. Anyways, that was a fun wedding. I went out. I did end up going out Friday. Oh, yeah, of course. After the wedding with, like, a group of people. It was really fun. But it was Halloween week, and I was supposed to leave at 10 a.m.

The next day to come back to L.A. My hangover kicked in at about 9.30 in the morning. I canceled my flight sat on my parents' couch all day Saturday into the night went to sleep woke up Sunday

canceled my flight again said I'm still hungover I literally like because I know myself if I go and get on a plane and you're sitting there and the only thought you're stuck there with your thoughts

the only thing you can think is you're not hungover no you're not going to get hung over oh crap I feel like coming on I'm going to throw up I'm going to throw up I'm going to throw up I'm going to throw up I'm going to throw up you keep thinking that you make your you just you build your own reality

So a Halloween weekend was spent on my parents' couch. Did you have plans here? Yeah. I'm sorry for your loss. It's totally fine because... So overrated, I'm telling you. I just have never... Well, let's talk about Halloween in a second.

It was just so overrated. I've just... Always. Yeah. The holidays that are like, let me list them off. Like, the Halloween's... New Year's? New Year's, Fourth of July, both Memorial and Labor Day.

Where there's an expectation to have fun, you don't. Have funds, fun. I'll tell you what, sitting on the couch, looking at everybody, I was like, by the way, let people enjoy things. But I was just like, I'm kind of getting cringed a little bit. Ict. Yeah, like everyone doing their Halloween costume with like what they dressed up as is the second slide of the girl. I saw, I was like, no, I did that. You had to.

You had to. I'm talking about like, the like, the Scooby-Doo thing where it's like, yeah, I know you're you're, you didn't have to do that. You're saying I had to because my costume wasn't good enough to. No, that was a creative niche reference. And here's what I'm, well, we can talk about Halloween costume me a second. I think the niche ones you have to and then you can be like, oh, that's good, you know. And yours were simple.

I'm talking about the people that went all. all out and then put... Question mark. I'm not gonna dig myself a hole. I liked yours. Like, Fran the Annie, that's so you. And then also your, the caption was like cosplay as my favorite Jewish actors. Perfect.

Also being literally, I'm not an ally if I am Jewish. So what am I? A pioneer? No, you're a warrior. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was just fighting, fighting the good fight.

You were fighting the good fight and also two great shows. Yeah. Thank you. It just like couldn't have been more on par. No. Thank you, Connor. But I don't. But I don't know, and also, again, let people enjoy things.

Talk about grasses greener on the other side. I was pretty, I think I was having FOMO, so it was portraying itself as how embarrassing to have me. But here's the thing. Go out one time. I don't need the whole week of my feed being day one of Hallow weekend, day two of Hallow weekend, day three of Hallow weekend. Maybe you should just delete your Instagram then if it's going to rub you this. Here's a question I had, though. if we didn't have phones do you think people would still dress up and do Halloween

it's a good question because this Halloween especially was like I've never seen anybody take it this seriously Halloween would still happen if we didn't have phones if a tree falls in the woods not this intensely not this intensely for adults doesn't make a noise I don't think we would be I don't know if it's because of TikTok like everyone was posting their Halloween costumes on TikTok as well yeah I think it's because people had the opportunity to to go viral this year. I guess they did last year as well with TikTok, but like maybe this year even more so

that people were obsessed with dressing up because it's like, oh, I have the opportunity to actually get likes on this costume. Wow, and more views. I think I crack the code, by the way. Yeah. I love when I do that. I love when I crack the code. I mean, what better feeling?

I'm coming off as a huge hater. I didn't dress up, so I might be kind of just projecting. but I was like there's no reason Halloween needs to be five days like we all have I'm looking at adults like on day five of dressing up I'm like okay it's fun it's a fun thing to do and it's different it's fun I think you are just being a hater yeah I really do okay well I just got on hungover from going out one day last week and that was last night at like 10 I was like oh my god I thought I was stuck like that maybe you can I offer the Like maybe you were sick Yeah, maybe Because I feel like every time you're like actually sick You're like damn I'm hung over For four days

And it's like six days after you had a drink Yeah Could be that's something An idea of offer Yeah because I didn't like To like die on Friday or anything It was pretty normal But

My parents were just like My parents were looking over my body As if they were at my viewing At my funeral Because you were laying so low Do you kind of want To like get up And I was like, no, I don't, I don't think I will be doing that.

Because it was like Saturday and they're like, aren't your friends around here somewhere? No. You're growing, you're growing a sore on your bed sore? A bed sore on your ass cheek. No, but that was, I don't know, do you have any thoughts? Being a hater. Yeah. I mean, you had fun.

I had fun. If other people were having fun. and it's not herning anyone else like no harm, no foul. I will say the only Halloween costume that there are two Halloween costumes that

did give me the kind of reaction that you were having. Was the Scooby-Doo? I guess I don't know if people knew that everyone, like why was everyone Scooby-Doo? I have no idea. I guess it's no one's fault for dressing up a Scooby-Doo

because who were they to know that everybody else was going to be Scooby-Doo in the gang? It's an easy group costume. But I must have seen upwards of 16,000 Velmas. I know. Well, that's just because all you have to do

is put on an orange shirt. It's easy and identifiable. Right, because no one wants, it sucks when somebody asks you what you are. That's what I was experiencing all weekend. I literally just had pictures of, I was Fran, the nanny, and Schmidt from a girl.

I literally just had pictures. You dressed up, check. You got your Instagram photo, check, and you were like, you didn't have to, like, paint your whole body, check. So you go home at the end and be like, I'm done. My Schmidt costume was so amazing because I was wearing pajamas under it. And I just had like a robe kimono on. And it was

just like so cozy. And I was from Birkenstock. You know what? To absolutely nullify my earlier statement, when someone doesn't dress up loser. Bigger losers than people that do dress up. Yeah. Party pooper. I wish I had a better You're not better than me. I wish I had a better argument for my previous one and I think I did but I can't remember what it was. Okay. But like I'm not, this is not again like about anyone specifically by the way. I'm talking

specifically about the people who dressed up as Scooby-Doo. Yeah. Um, something I did learn this. I guess it's really not their fault though. It's just like it was just the fact that everyone did it all at once. Yeah. And then Heidi Klum as a worm. My thoughts there

are I think first of all it's like it really it's not appealing to look at which i guess a lot of hollabing costumes are not and that's the point like to make you kind of uncomfortable how they make her look wet they she's like there's a sl like she looks like an organ someone said that it looks like she got uh ed shiren's people to like makeup artist to make her look constantly kind of wet love ed so really can't tolerate any ed ass slander here um but here's my thing about Heidi Klum and people who are like models and perceived is very conventionally gorgeous. I think there's this like movement that everyone wants to seem relatable nowadays.

And I think that's what she was trying to do here to be like, look, I'm also funny. I'm not just hot, but there's an overcorrection happening. Like you can show me a relatable, but you don't have to dress up as some slimy like thing. that's really hard for me to look at. I got to just absolutely disagree. Really? Let me see what I had written about this so I don't lose my thought process.

Fuck you guys. That's what I have written about Heidi Klum. No, first of all, I get what you're saying. Do you? Where it's like, yeah. Like I prefer funny costume over, like, sexy, cool-looking costume any day. I think that's hilarious.

Heidi Klum's been doing this for a long time. long time. Oh, really? Yeah, she's been doing this entire big, because she has a big Halloween party every year. I think this is at her Halloween party. Can I, can we pull up some of her previous costume? Yeah, she was Fiona from Shrek last year, like big, like big prosthetic face and like okay, so I see, basically she, she got slammed because people are like,

why are, like you're gross, like, why are you, she is, whatever age she is. I'm gonna, I'm gonna see. She's done. These all look like sexy costumes to me that she's done before. That's in 2009. So Heidi Kloom is 49 years old. Still getting that dressed up, lying down, putting a worm on. Her intention was not to be like, I don't think she had anything bigger than like, I just want to be funny.

And it got to overtop the next thing. I want whatever med she's on where she's seeing all this press about her being gross and like, this is when she starts being funny. And she's still like smiling and happy. There could be a language barrier. I didn't know that she's from somewhere. Connor, she fully speaks English. I know, but maybe she doesn't get the like things that we're saying. Like, ew, gross, this sucks.

But I disagree. I think she's having so much fun and I think it's admirable. Okay. I just like don't like Halloween costumes that are hard to look at. Those are her clones from 2016. She got a bunch of lookalikes to, or maybe that's prosthetics. Which one is she? I don't know. But I'm just like, to me, I was just, like, ew. But also... Is she allowed to do

the Hindu goddess? That was brave. I'm imagining she would not be allowed to do that today. Well, I guess let's see. Yeah, 2018 was a different time. Yeah. Yeah, Alien.

She starts... Oh, 2008. Okay, that's making more sense. Two, yeah, that's... Oh, alien, yeah. That's quirky and gross. I don't know. Maybe I'm...

Maybe my take was wrong. I guess I just don't like gross. Columine costumes at the end of the day. No, I don't think there's a right or wrong take. I just said I like that she goes all out. This is her Halloween party. Yeah. I'm just like, just because you can doesn't mean you should with just like looking yucky.

Okay, but I just don't like. You talked about subjectivity. That's a perspective thing that you're taking. Okay, well, I'm just saying my opinion is. To me, she looks like a delicious street meat that's about to be shaved off onto a euro. Oh, like, it really is hard for me to look at it. Yeah. That's just my take

That's okay You're allowed to have your take I want to tackle her and squish her Okay And I encourage you too And I think that this is cool I think that this is cool Because it's different

There's a bunch of probably cats Leopards running around Yeah There's a bunch of like dudes dressed up as grease running around And she's a worm Right She's not living by society's standards

Of what she should And shant do as a worm Because you know what after all brook you know what after all uh-huh what it's a bug's life that's true i want to take my take back because i think

i fear that i would have critiqued her either way and that's me checking my internalized misogyny and so i'm checking myself before i wreck myself and even though i don't like the worm because it's disgusting you just have it you don't like worms no or people dressed as worms

you don't like but i'm just gonna go ahead with instead of checking your internal misogyny that internal misogynistic voice that's screaming in your head. Yeah. You should check on your internal... Worm bias?

Worm bias. Yeah. Maybe it's that. I think it's an intersectionality issue of worm prejudice and misogyny is what we're experiencing here. I think that this particular situation pretty cool.

Okay. I like people going. I like people giving it their all. Yeah. And I can respect that. Yeah. And I'm actually going to change. my mind and even though I don't like the costume wow normal I change changing your mind even

though I don't like the costume and I think it's disgusting good for her good for her because yeah yeah yeah yeah awesome hell yes okay um there's something else oh while you were at the wedding yeah and in boston et cetera away I don't know where you were when I did this but I went to the Harry styles concert yeah And I did want to speak about that. Yeah. Because it was an incredible night. Okay. And I do have an entire notes app specifically for the concert.

Wait, I have a question that I wrote now. While you're doing that. Yeah. Is he just, they have to, how was he done like a thousand concerts in like five days? Well, he's doing a residency here. Okay, because I feel like he's played a show every day. He does. For as long, like I can't remember a time.

For me, there's a, there's a B, H.S. Before Harry Styles concerts. And now there's like, we're in this midst of, I don't remember a time when he wasn't playing a show every night. I feel like every night someone's like, I saw Harry Styles and I'm like, is he just like a Chucky Cheese robot person now? Because how does he just like constantly like they just roll him out and he starts showing his flare jeans and. Yeah. Basically.

He was doing a residency in New York for like a month. MSG. And now he's here for a month. Or like three weeks or something. Three weeks or something. And he's up there shaking his ass every single night. And it is, Connor, if you saw this concert and said to me, eh, I still don't really get it.

I don't get the big deal about him. I would encourage you to seek medical help. And I respect people with different opinions. Of course, this, it's not really a matter of opinion here. This man is, and I have to bring down. He is a rock star, period. Yeah. Like it, even if you're not obsessed with his voice, just like seeing him on stage,

he, oh, command. Cocking out? Yeah, yeah. To put it bluntly. I think eventually he will have his, his cock and balls out. Do you? Yeah. You know there was a supposed nude of him when he was on X Factor.

Great. Yeah. I can. I think he was a child. Yeah. No one look at that. That's not. But when I was young, when I was.

young when I was 16 or 15 that was going around but it's unclear if it's him because his face was covered yeah well we can all we can all move forward since he was a child so was I we can cut that no we should we shan't wait I have

I have something that I was going to say oh you know how I'm always talking about how I would I love this last name by the way sorry to styles Oh. Fuentes. Who is that? I don't know.

Joanna Fuentes. She tweeted that. You know I always say, like, I think that I could probably pretty easily be convinced to join a cult. Yeah. I don't, I'm not really following the Harry Styles fandom. I know. And I want to. And this is one where I'm willing to kind of lean into it, but like, I'm just like, ah, it's just not.

It's kind of like a chilled glass of milk for me at this point. It doesn't taste horrible. but I'm not into it. Yeah. I hear you, and I'm saying that if you were still saying these things, after you experience this concert, I would, again,

encourage you to seek not only medical, but psychological help. I did, like, he hasn't done this in a long time, but whatever concert it was when he did the, collab, not collab. He did the duet with. Lizzo? Stevie Nix.

I almost said Lizzo Nix. Stevie Nix, and they sing Lanslight together. That was pretty sexy. Yeah. of both of them. Yeah. So,

but that's the last, that's all she wrote for me. That was the last memorable thing that I. Well, I hope one day, you'll have the foresight. Yeah, if it was a little,

if it wasn't like such a hassle to go see him here. Right. What I'm seeing is that it's body to body. Some people have gone so, like, several times. Right.

I just like can't do the whole thing. Mm-hmm. I did manage to kind of weasel myself into the pit. How were you up next to the stage? I have connections. Wow. Mm-hmm. It was very cool.

But yeah, I was right up next to the stage on the pit on the floor. That must be nice to be that close on account of your height. Yeah, couldn't see a darn too big thing. Yeah. Well, when I was up close, like body to body, I couldn't see anything because people were directly in front of me and I'm 411. But when I took a step back where it was less crowded, there was a lot of open space, then I could see him.

But that kind of sucked because I was like, well, he probably can't see me and fall in love with me. So, which I knew he would have because I was wearing my Harry's house sweater. my Harry's house sweater vest that I had knit with the house on it. That is um And I knew he would he would want that. That's that they're gonna invent a technology now like pretty soon we're like The artist should be able to see If you're feeling strongly enough that you need to engage physically with that artist

And you should be able to see you especially if like you're ever like watching And you're like okay I can't get the main person to look at me but I can get the basis The drummer uh huh Because no one's looking at it. at them, you're like, look over and you're like, are we going to make a child? I was considering making a sign that said, I knit you a sweater

vest, but then I really, really thought about it. And I was like, if he sees that, you're going to have to give your vest to him. And I don't know if I could part with that vest. Yeah, you could. I know, but it's like, do I even want to go there? And I had made the decision, no, I don't want to go there. But if I go back, I will go there.

Yeah, I think you should. Yeah. I encourage it. You should get a T-shirt can and just shoot it at him. That was only the first part of the first bullet point. Okay. I said, they're going to be making biopics of him in 20 years. I can't believe we're living in a time where he exists.

And the biopic in 20 years is going to be starring someone that's probably not even born yet. Think about that. Wow, yeah. Good point. Yeah. Ooh, there could be someone named like sand. That's probably what names. are going to be in 20 years sand or granite electric vehicle like something like that

be raoul yeah vinaigrette yeah could be vinaigrette yeah vinaigret Simmons could be playing harry styles 20 years who are we to say I can't I know um and then we're going to be grandparents and I'm going to tell my grandchild when I was your age I went to the harry styles concert and my granddaughter's going to be like no you fucking didn't Just the same way that I say to my grandparents, I can't believe you are alive when Freddie Mercury was alive and that you went to a Freddie Mercury concert, that's how my grandchildren are going to be acting about Harry Stiles.

What an amazing thing for me to be able to tell them. That's pretty cool. I'm saving, this is my four wristband. Saving that for my grandkids. Oh, it's looking really tight. How do you not have a panic attack? Because you know how much it's worth at the end of the day. Oh, Brooke, you got to cut that out.

No. God, no. I was straight up. You kind of feel how my fingertips are freezing cold. Yeah. It's because of this baby. Ooh, there's ways to loosen those, by the way. I don't know anymore because it does seem about skin tight on you. Yeah, I can't figure it out.

On your wrist there. So anyway, I witnessed history. Yeah. Which is just very cool to be able to say. Very, very cool. He's going to be one of the hologram shows at Vegas Residencies for sure. Yes. Yes. When he, when he, he, oh my God, poor Harry.

Mm-hmm. Poor Harry. He's going to be aging like a president pretty soon because he's, Jag, God, that guy needs to be put in a cryo tank and frozen for a couple of years just so he can rest. I can't even imagine. I can't go a day without a two-hour nap. I don't know how he doesn't. I don't know how he does it.

I don't either. I mean, he's probably not getting any sleep either. No. The adrenaline rush after each concert, which has done an 11-something. Must keep him up till at least three. You know, my friend Sam Damcheck? Yeah. He posts on his story yesterday.

I was like, I'm sorry, I have to say it. Harry Styles ruined Beachwood Cafe, which is like a little... I know. It's in one of his songs. Three hour wait on Tuesdays at like noon. Yeah. It's just crazy. I bet.

Which sucks. I've never been. I don't know why I said that. Sorry to put a bummer in the bullet list here. I've got a many more bullet holes like. Go ahead. Yeah, yeah. Go ahead.

Take it. I was trying to explain the feeling of what I felt during the concert to others. And I'm having a, I was having a hard time. But there was this like overwhelming and this is non-sexual and non-sadistic but there was this like overwhelming need to just like osmosis absorb him

like almost as an energy and the way that I articulated that I think I tweeted it was just like I need to shrink him down and take him as a pill like three times a day like the energy is like you need to be in a womb with him

yeah you need to just like oh to be in a womb with Harry Thusson yeah you need to be a wombate But even more so I want to be in his womb Than be his womb mate I could see an immaculate Conception situation with Harry Styles It was just like the energy

Like it's like I need it I need to take a shot of it I need to absorb You know it was like The idea Yeah Someone can market some Harry Styles energy in one of those little

Ginger turmeric chumaric shots By the way Apparently my mood app already exists Yeah that tracks every single night that he gets out there and as you've already said he gets out there 100 nights a week it's like his first time

performing he is so gracious he brings the energy like even if you are performing right here in front of us just us too on B&C studios soil it would be like he was performing for Madison Square Garden

he gives his all into every single performance do that in front of us You know, I think I would. I'd like a little acoustic show from Harry Stiles. Oh, I want like a Madison's Fort Garden. Do you think Harry Styles has ever been drunk? Yes. Have you never seen that picture of him throwing up on the highway because he was hung over?

No, I don't see all these. There's a stake that it was from one direction era. He threw up on the side of the highway and there's like a steak there. It says Harry Styles threw up there. And girls go and like touch it. If you threw up in like a cup, would you drink his vomit? Yes. Yes. Good question.

Yes, absolutely. I might. I would pay to. I think that's like another tiered system is like okay if this person threw up in a cup would you A drink their vomit B not drink their vomit C pay to drink their vomit Yeah and that's tier one two and three

Yeah I wouldn't pay but I would I would probably drink his vomit I would pay I don't even think I would be like oh oh I think it's like got it like again like I was saying like to absorb what it came from him Yeah powerful stuff yeah wow Guess what he performs at every single show without fail. What makes you beautiful? Yeah. And you know what? The other members of One Direction,

Zane, Liam, are disgracing the band and trying to distance themselves from the band. But Harry, the one who has come the furthest, is still proud of where he came from. That's what I liked about Miley Cyrus when I saw her in concert, which that's one of the best concerts I've ever seen in life.

Yeah, she's amazing. Talk about rock star. Uh-huh. Man, I'm like, oh, God. She's incredible. Someone had let me up. She's incredible. And she sang all of her old Hannah Montana stuff.

And I was like, yeah, that's pretty cool. Yeah. I think she resents that part of the life. She went through a phase where she would not speak about it or sing about anything. And she completely 180ed and was like, actually that's a big part of it. It was cool. It was really cool.

Anyway, go ahead. So that's just like, that just like moves me to tears every single time. Right. Especially because you know the other members of One Direction wouldn't do that. And they just like don't hold a candle to him. There is such a difference. between the Harry Styles that does press

for Don't worry, darling, and the Harry styles that I saw on stage that night, two different people. Yeah. He is in his element on that stage. That's who he is. Mm-hmm.

You know? And that's who we need to, that's what we need to remember him by. Not this, the don't worry, darling trauma, that's the distraction. I'm not feeding into that anymore. I don't want to pay attention to it.

That's not the Harry that we're supposed to know. This is him. This is his authentic self. Okay. That's good to know. That is just a note. I'm happy for him. He's found his,

And then my last note was everyone was DMing me And was like, we're so proud of you For going to a concert And I was like, do I really come across like That depressed that's like I need a pat on the back for going to Harry Styles concert? I wasn't aware of that Yeah, I'm asking you

Not as far as I know Okay Going to a concert especially a big one Like I said it's exhausting I didn't do that. Yeah. No, I don't think that... I was getting a lot of paths on the back.

Well, I think you did talk about... Yeah, I think you did talk about the DTF. Yeah, that was... Yeah, I mean, I appreciate them. That goes without saying, but it always does make you think, wow, how am I coming across? You know? As someone who announced that you really are pushing yourself to go outside once a day. Yeah, and you know what?

Totally. Now that I'm thinking about it, you did actually just paint that picture for them. Yeah, I did. But you went to the show. Yeah. So, thank you guys for... telling me you're proud of me and that is just making me think

about myself. Well, it was clearly worth it. I see a lot of, that's a big note page. Yeah. I wrote those all down when I woke up the next morning. Wow. To share with you. I'm needing to do that in the moment. Yeah. Well, great. I'm so happy that ended up. Thank you for listening to that. Playing out, of course. Yeah.

I had something, oh, sorry to make that noise on the, on the dang. I just wanted to say I'm done with Harry Styles For this the rest of the pod Okay I can be You let me talk about that for

I had no other follow-up is what I'm saying So it's just gonna be like a messy transition Into whatever we talk about next I have a few things Oh go ahead take it Okay I'm so sorry Can I pee

Yes con go piss girl That's actually what I was gonna say And then I was like no I kept looking at the clock So I was like no I can hold it I'm sorry guys I really have to pee Go ahead Okay.

Hey guys, I'm back. I didn't smell a gas leak. Just kind of a panic. In the traditional sense. Well, we're happy to have you back. Thanks. Thank you, Father. I'm excited to you back.

I can, if anyone saw me kind of squirming like Heidi Bloom, it's because I was about to. Who, by the way, I respect. Loving. I love all. All worms. Yes, all worms. Yes.

All worms have a place here. Yes. 100%. This is a space. Worm safe. That is. That being said, if you brought a worm into this dude.

That would have to be your co-host for the day, as I would. I don't like worms either if they're like a parasitic type worm. Remember when I found that worm in my dishwasher? Oh, wormy. I like those kinds of worms. I love being worms. This fucking scary fraud ass.

He came... Wormy? When I found this worm... Okay, backing up, because I know that we have a lot of international guests that definitely do not follow me on TikTok because I haven't gained a follower in about six years. For the international guests, about a year and a half ago.

Why does them being international mean they can't follow you on TikTok? Because I've looked at about 98% of my followers are from New York City or Jersey. And I think I'm missing a big chunk of New Zealanders that listen to the podcast, so get on your phones. Please. My job. So I opened my dishwasher to take the dishes out.

They've run through the cycle. And in there, in the dishwasher, on a fork, if you will, is the tiniest little caterpillar. He was so cute. Lime green, about yay big. I'm going to, like, this big, about an inch. For my New Zealanders that are all going to go follow me on TikTok, he was about whatever an inch and centimeters would be. Yeah.

And I get him out and I say, are you okay? Check his vitals. He's good. He's fine. He's stable condition. I have a little jar and for my knick-knacks. And I put him in there with a stick and some kale. And I say, what am I going to do with you?

Uh-huh. Now what? My hands are tied here. I got to make sure he's okay for the next couple days. I call Brooke immediately. I got, I got, fuck. I got this worm now on my hands. And I don't know if I'm, I don't know if I should keep it.

And she's like, listen, keep him, keep an eye on him for the next couple days. He was gorgeous. Naturally, we start to kind of build this relationship over the course of the next couple days. And like one thing I do another. And now it's me and wormy against the world. And so I have wormy. And suddenly Warmy starts to get kind of lethargic. And I'm like, oh, no.

can you do CPR to Worme If you make your lips very small You could move And I can because I'm Right As white as they come And I go to I'm like okay I think he might be on his way out

I put him at the window And I leave the lid open In case he just wants to get some Fresh Air for the day Wormy starts to Build a chrysalis Yes she did She or here

Depending on And And they started to spin kind of in this circle and build out a cocoon. Yeah. Is it a chrysalis or cocoon? I forget.

There is a difference. I'm going to go with... Cocoon. Because of what came out was not a butterfly. I think butterfly is for chrysalis. Okay, so basically... Or the exact opposite. This is the worst thing in the world.

So I'm like, oh, wormy is Pokemoning. Right in front of my eyes. Evolving. Evolving. There's a science word for that. They started to become something completely different in front of my eyes. And I look it up. Wormy ended up in the trash can that day, in the jar, lit on.

Can you paint a picture of what? Just the most freaking, scariest thing I've ever seen straight up out of like a horror movie. And the fact that I had this beast living in my house, this creature of the night, literally like birth from Satan's cooch. I was like, you're not living another day. Not if I have anything to say about it. Sorry if that changes anyone's view of me. You're publicly admitting to killing one.

I had to kill. Wormy, yeah. Oh my God. No, no, no, no. I can't even look at what Wormey became. No, I can't. It was really tough to look at. It was tough to look at.

I would have thrown him out the window as opposed to the trash can. You didn't even want to set her free on. No, it was for me, it was like, I'm doing it, public service by taking Wormy and out of this world. Taking my only son and sacrificing him.

Wow. That's like Bible vibes. Oh yeah. That's John 316 situation. But I had to make that executive decision I felt called upon to end his life in that moment. So I did just that. And he was out. Out of my house. It was

such a horrible experience. I almost didn't feel safe. Like, who have I had in my home all of this time? I feel like I didn't even know this person. I really opened up to this person. I built a relationship with this person. And then just like that, this is not the person I knew.

It's like when you find out your dad has a second family. You were catfish. Yeah. Who are you? Yeah. Well, I bet the ghost in your house is the ghost of wormy. Don't even say that. It's true.

Man. Karma is my boyfriend. And he is a worm. Yeah. Paraset worm. Wow. Damn, I forgot about wormy. The biggest part of that story is that I found wormy in the dishwasher after it was run.

So, like, obviously, this is a creature from hell. Right. How do you survive? Right, you should have known from the beginning. Oh, I have chills down my spine still. Yeah. Oh, God. Oh, my God.

Yeah. See you, Wormy in hell. Wow. Honestly, weird that we didn't think of Wormy with Heidi Kloom. No connection. No connection whatsoever. The worm that Heidi Kloom became... How did we get...

Oh, we were just talking... How did we get on the topic of Worme? me. Was it the worms? Was it Heidi Klum? Um, I don't know. I don't know. Wow. Okay. I have a subject change if that's okay with you. Yeah, take it. Take the reins. I saw this article on E. So it was on E. So you know this is fact. Fact. Um, of these celebrities whose names we've apparently been mispronouncing for their whole careers. Okay.

And these have shocked me to my core. Give me one. We've been pronouncing Adel wrong. Can I guess what the answer to the age is? Aidel? No. It's Adel. What?

Adail. During Q&A in October 2022, the powerhouse singer praised a fan for perfectly pronouncing her name as Adail when asking a question. It's not a Dale. It's a Dale. No, it's not. I am telling you, hand to God. It's on e-news.

All right. Now this one, I can confirm via... I'm not going to look. This is Lindsay Lohan. And I can confirm that we've been pronouncing her name wrong because I went to her TikTok where she says how to pronounce it correctly. It's not Lindsay Loan. Loan. Yes.

It's Lindsay Loan. That one's easier, don't you. Okay. That I did not know. Taylor Lautner. Wrong. Okay. Lawner.

No. What did you do you do? Taylor Lawner. No, there's still a tea in it. It's Lautner, Taylor Lautner. Okay. Alicia Silverstone. Who is that?

Clueless, Sharon Clueless. I've never seen that. You can someone, this bitch. Sorry, this woman. Oh my God, Jesus Christ. Sorry, I don't know where that came from. I don't know where that came from. Oh, yeah, yeah, she's a girl in the, like the main girl.

Alicia. Oh, that's stupid. That's when you know you, when you're, when you're, when you're making. Making this list, it means you have so much money. And they've got no more news. Okay, Justin Thoreau. You know who that is, right? Yeah, the Canadian Prime Minister.

No, no, no. I get confused, too. That's Justin Trudeau. Justin Thoreau is who is with Jennifer Aniston. This man. Never seen this in my life. You're kidding. No.

Whoa. He's in some good stuff. Okay, what's his name? Justine? Justine? No, it's still Justin. Oh. Theru.

Anyway. Oh, get this. No, this one's going to blow your panties off. Ariana Grande. No, it's not Grande. Grand? No. Grandy.

Fuck you. I'm dead serious. No, it's not. The pop star dropped jaws in 2018 after she explained the correct way to say her last name. When speaking about her engagement to Pete Davidson at the time, Ariana discussed whether or not she'd take his last name. That's when she blurted out, Grandi. when pronouncing her own last name.

She was on quailudes at that time. Do you think, quailudes? Yeah, what is it quailud? That's like an old pill. From the olden days. So it has more potency. That's probably what made her pronounce her name like that.

That's absurd. Chrissy Teigen? I don't even care. Tygan. Okay. You don't care? No, I don't need any. Gall Godin news.

Gal got it. I got it. I guess it is Gao. but the last name it's gal Godot As opposed to what did we say? Godot

I said Godot Oh But it's Godot Godot Last one, you ready This one's not gonna affect you Okay Amanda Seafreed

Syfred Yeah Were you saying Syfred the whole time? Oh I was saying Seafreed Anyway Okay Cool That's super cool

And I believe all of those To be the case Syfred Yeah. Yeah. You've been saying Seifred? Yeah, I think so. I would say, yeah.

Oh, I've been saying Seifred. But I just was kind of floored by Adail. Adail. Okay, well, that's fun. Yeah. That was fun. I think another piece of fun news that we could talk about because it affects both of us. I don't think it affects.

I don't think anyone's really going to care, to be honest, most people. But Elon Musk is going to start charging for the blue verification check on Twitter. Yeah. Do you have any thoughts about that? Are we sure? Did he come out and say that with his own mouth? Look at his Twitter right now. I don't want to.

It's kind of giving Mr. Crabbs. Damn. He's going to start charging for breathing, lollygagging, napkins, ice cubes. Elon. The bird is free. My favorite thing. I tweeted this last night. Don't cancel me because I deleted it because I got scared

because I was going to bed and I didn't have time to defend myself in case I was getting canceled. But he tweeted power to the people the blue check mark

will now be $8 a month. Oh my God. He's tired of the... He's tired of the... Oh, here it is. Twitter's current lords and peasant system for who has or who doesn't have a check mark

is bullshit. Power to the people. Blue check for $8 a month. So from his... This baby picture of him is scaring this shit out of me. Yeah. From a historically...

Lords and peasants style individual and platform, he's now giving power to the people by charging them money to be verified. I'm just confused. This one actually blew my mind so much because I don't understand. There's so much irony, but at the same time, I'm not able to pinpoint it. There's so much going on. I don't know what his argument is.

How is that power to the people? But I basically said, like, charging. Because maybe he said in one of the tweets that I just saw that he's, using that money to pay creators, which I doubt. I don't know. I feel like we should put him in charge of health care in the United States because I feel like he'll fuck it up so much that something will cancel out and it'll actually end up better.

Interesting. Interesting point. So are you going to pay for your blue check? No. Yeah, that's... Or maybe I will because it'll be funny. I kind of might. It loses all credibility.

But that being said, then can anybody pay $8? Yeah, power of the people. Oh, okay. So then I won't. And he said complainers can complain. keep complaining it's going to be $8 a month. So he, like, confirmed it's going to happen. It's so losery.

Yeah. So, like, friends from high school can just be like, oh, yeah, like, I got a blue check. We're blue checkers now. I'm just, I won't be moving forward with paying. Well, also, who has $8 a month to do that? Right. I wonder what Twitter. That's more than Spotify.

I wonder what Twitter's revenue stream is where he's like, I'm going to, it must not be. I wish we could all collectively as a, as a society. not do it and have him not. I wonder if I know anyone that works in findings that could explain this to us because I bet that there's some decisions that were- I think Ben could Ben-Con. Oh, you know what? I bet they'll do

an episode of Trill about that. We don't want to take their content. Yeah, we would never want to do that. Let's guess. Guess what? Why would he feel the need to take away blue check marks from people with credibility, which is like the most important part of Twitter because without the blue check, like, we could change our name to Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada.

Right. Canadians are now, like, maple syrup is illegal. Right. Yeah. And they would have, like, that would be like yelling fire in a movie thing. Right. Right. For them.

I don't, I don't get it. I can't think of anything. I wonder what Hank Green is saying. Because he... Let's get Hank on the phone. We got Hank on the line. He kind of knows what's going on. Yeah, I think it's weird and I think $8, like probably.

you have to trust at this point. We kind of do have to trust him because he does own the network now. But Twitter is the people's town square, right? So now we have this person that came in who's very against the lords and peasant system who has now purchased the town square to make it a more free space.

But I am excited because I won't be kicked off the platform for seven days for tweeting stuff. Uh-huh. Which is going to be fun. But also that's how I knew that a joke was really good if I'm booted from the platform. Hank deleted. He should buy Airbnb too

so I can get back on Airbnb. Uh-huh. Damn. Which, by the way, that brings up a fun point. Have you noticed lately all the people dying their eyebrows,

bleaching their eyebrows? Yeah, I have. And putting makeup over their eyebrows? Yeah. Take a look at my eyebrows, bro. I've seen them. It comes up.

My eyebrows do come up every now and then. Do I have a thyroid problem? You were born that way. Maybe, but I was born this way. You could be born with a thyroid. I guess. No doctor's ever said anything.

But, I just want to say about almost a year ago, I said when someone said, are your eyebrows falling out? Like I said earlier, I said, no, and I don't shave them. I don't shave almost anything because I just don't grow hair anywhere. I'm just kidding.

Well, um... Um... Yes. No, I don't shave my eyebrows. But I said to everyone, I said, hey, just heads up, what you're going to start seeing is when all the girls and guys and whatever had these big thick eyebrows,

because that was a trend for a long time, I told them, guys, heads up, start trimming your trees because I think that eyebrow trends follow the same market as the house. Eyebrow trends follow the same trends as the housing market. And we're due for a correction in the housing market. So just keep an eye on that. And we are quickly approaching a correction in the housing market, potentially a crash.

I know a lot of politicians in finance people. are saying that we are actually in the midst of a depression. Okay. And just like clockwork, people have started to bleach their eyebrows, shave their eyebrows. Good call out. We got Kim Kardashian. We got several people other than them.

And we're watching the housing market decline rapidly. So that was, that is just all I wanted to say. And I did call that a year ago. Speaking of trendsetting, as you did with your eyebrows, have you noticed that everybody's knitting? I did, actually. Jack Harlow on SNL. That was one of his shots.

One of his promo pictures, knitting. Skim's new. campaign. Mm-hmm. They're all knitting. Yeah, if you trace back. You can trace the roots back directly to Knitting Club.

Mm-hmm. And even before that, Sally Dar. Who's my favorite influencer? Yeah. So it's really... It is something. I don't want to toot my own horn,

but... Toot-toot. Toot-toot. Toot-to. Yeah, I don't know. Hey, my hat's off to you. I watched it happen. Yeah.

And it is crazy because it's knitting after all. Yeah, it's the most sophisticated craft that there is. Yeah. Really, if I had to think of a word for it. All right. Cool. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

I want to, um, okay, sorry. I just kind of got lost in your eyes for a second. Ooh. Um, it was scary. Oh, bad loss? No, not necessarily bad. I've just never been there before. It was like when your mom is checking out of the grocery store and you can't find her.

Um, so, we decided that we want to start watching like a show with everyone who wants to get involved to kind of feel like you're a part of something. I can't read books. Obviously we've made that pretty clear but we can watch shows. We can watch shows. That is something you can do. There's one thing about us is that we can watch a show even if we have to watch the same episode twice as we were on our phones right or maybe several seasons of New Girl several times because we were on our phone. Yep, you got to start over and it matched up perfectly with with White Lotus, season two, being released yesterday,

Sunday for the first time. And so we're going to watch White Lotus as a group, whoever wants to be involved. I'm sure people are already doing it. But we'll be chatting about and breaking down and just poking holes in the fucking plot line, like wild porcupines on a poking holes mission. I am kind of curious how we're going to do that

because there's not a lot of plot there. That's a great plot, Holbrook. Yeah. I have a lot to say, Perkins. Great, and I'm excited. You know, because all I do I do the whole time, I'm just like poke, poke, poke, poke.

Yeah. I got a needle in a haystack. Yeah. I mean, balloon shop, I don't know. And I'm poking holes and everything. So, you know, a bowl and a china shop, pork or pie in a bounce house vibe. So we'll be doing that in the bonus episode,

which if you haven't signed out for a bonus, you can do that at TMG Studios.tv, and it's Brooklyn Conor tier, or you can sign it for the whole thing. No ads and shit. And we also do. a bunch of, we release a bunch of other stuff. And also.

I'm going to try to finish my sweater. And she's going to finish her sweater. When I say she, I mean, Brooke here. That lady. Just in case you weren't aware. And then also any other house. The close friends Instagram story is live to get access to that you do have to sign up for the Brook and Goner's here at TMDC, who's that TV.

And that's really all I have. That's it. Because, uh, do you have to piss? Yeah, I got to piss. I do too. Oh shit. Okay. Sorry, that was gross of us to both say piss and then me say shit right after.

That's fine. I said something really gross earlier. I don't remember. Why did they call it a bathroom? Because you could take a bath in it. Not this one. This is just a toilet. Yeah, it's actually technically a powder room because that's where you would powder your nose or do cocaine.

Anyway, smooches. A little early for talk like that. I don't do drugs. I knit. Hard. On cocaine. Okay. Okay.

Bye guys. This week on close friends. I have a 401k at this point and I'm shitting my pants. Yeah. Like sober? I want to show you the... No, it's a dog. What the dog doing?

It's a bug's life. This guy's going to step on me. The liberal agenda. Yeah. Cool, huh? That was a joke and someone else wrote it. Sign up on TMG Studios. Dot TV to watch a full bonus episode.
