What? Nothing. What's up? It's a Monday. I'm in a really good mood. Really? Yeah. Have we ever recorded on a Monday morning before?

No, it's hard. Thank you for the flexibility. I really, really appreciate it. No problem. And if we're still talking about the hair that's... Can we talk about the hair? Yeah. Like, it's really bothering me.

I like it. It's the way that it's moving and bouncing on its own, that one little strand. Yeah. It kind of has a life of its own in the way that like... One time I put this thing in my hair, and it's not going to help, like, how you're feeling about that piece. So I'm going to stop. Well, I got my bangs cut a little bit shorter than I'm used to and typically comfortable with because I wanted them to be like the perfect length when I go on tour, which I think they will be. But now they're a little bit short.

And so I'm having trouble styling them because of their microbangs right now. And this one, I think this strand is new. Like I don't, I think she used to be long. And now she's a baby. Well, you made her feel like comfortable enough in her own skin to come out and be center stage. Do you think I should swipe her more this way or this way? Can you? No.

I don't think you can't. I don't think it's even an option. She's just springing forward. My God, what happened? I'll never forget my friend Morgan in like fifth or something grade. She cut her, her, what is the front little wispies? Yeah, baby hair. Yeah, she's college.

never they never grew she could never let them grow up because they would have stuck straight yeah oh my god that's so hard that reminds me of but it's like not really similar to that this i'm on this tic of steroid topical steroid withdrawal which is really scary how do you get how do you get to i think you just oh like how do i get to those places yeah like what do you mean topical sterile oh like like like lotion like people who have like really bad eczema or something i got that no no no no no no no no no i had the stuff that they were like that they were like i had the stuff that they like don't use this willy-nilly because your skin will get addicted to it yeah so these are people that has like used like become dependent on it and the withdrawal is like it like brutal no they

scared me so bad i didn't even use the stuff that's all my ruch was kind of still with us today yeah so anyway i don't mean to minimize that by comparing it to my bangs but it's just like not really similar but it is with the side of tic-tac that i'm on that's like it's so so crazy that you were like, oh, I'm on TikTok all day and it's like, that's what you're consuming. That's not even entertaining. That's like. But I engage. So it's like what choice do they have but to give me more. Time to time time time to hop on to my app that I'm about to spend an hour and a half looking at other people's rashes. It's not a rash. And plates and plates of addiction, topical addiction.

Oh, that doesn't sound fun to me. So whole like like so swollen and flaky. It's so sad. And takes like, you. It could take like years. Of course. So you really have to commit. To being addicted to topical steroids? To going off. Go off.

Yeah. Go off king. Go off king of those topical steroids. I love that. Someone, I just saw this like, horrible tweet. Horrible tweet. The other day that said the guy that invented the user interface of infinite scroll

probably caused more damage to humanity than like Oppenheimer that created the nuclear bomb. Was Instagram not originally infinite scroll? You had to type load or you had to click load more. But like... But then, no, then you would hit the bottom and it would be like... You'd hit the bottom out.

You'd bottom out. And same with like Tumblr, same with everything. You'd bottom out. They'd be like, we actually don't have anything else for you. Like, and I remember... Wait, what did we do and we bottomed out? Eat a bowl of cereal, I think. We would go...

I think we'd probably like get the mail. Did you go get the mail ever? It was something to do. No, my mail always went through the door. Wait, that's not true at all. I always had a mail box. Why did you lie? I don't think, I don't know.

Because I didn't get the mail and I felt embarrassed about it. Brick, get up. Like, it's okay. You just call me Brick? Brooke. I didn't call you brick. You genuinely just called me brick. I call her brick.

Oh, damn. Damn. Okay. Hi. What was your name? Hi, I'm Brooke. Nice to meet you. Hi, Brick. I would get so upset when kids would call me Brick when I was little.

Oh, it's like, okay, obviously I just pushed a button that like I wasn't aware of. I didn't even mean to push that button. Do my feet look blue? No. Oh, they do. Why? I think that that might be constricting your toes, those platform heels. But they're so loose.

Anyway. Your, did you get smaller? What? Are your feet always like completely straight out when you're getting your Kelly Gerson? I'm sitting extremely far. back. Okay. It's like there's no bend in your knee at all. You're sitting straight, your legs are straight up flat. Sitting extremely far back. Okay. But yeah, no, my knee would never like go here. That's fabulous. My feet don't ever get close to touching a floor even on the toilet.

Oh, you're just dangling. You're so vulnerable. Yeah. That's probably why I'm always scared a knife is going to shoot up. And to your from the toilet because it's not like I could get like, like just get up. I just want to let you know, me with my legs on the ground. I also would be able to get up if the knife was shooting You could go a lot quicker. Actually, I think my legs touch the floor when I'm on the toilet. Yeah, of course they do.

You must have been right. I'm out of sorts. It's Monday. It's okay. I wrote a poem. Oh, nice. Read it to us. Okay, it's good. It's about Brooke and Connor make a podcast. It's good. Really? Yeah, I'm like, I guess I'm like jet lagged in the good way here because I woke up like 645 on the dot.

Oh, yeah. It's later your time. Yeah. And I wrote this. Ready? Here I am in the stew. And of course... Wait, were you here when you wrote it? No. Okay.

I was... I didn't get here to... Did I already ask? No, but like, I wasn't here this morning earlier. Four hours ago? I didn't know that you wrote it four hours ago. I said at 6.40... Oh, okay.

You said you woke up at 645. You didn't say you wrote the poem in six... I woke up and I was like, what do I do? Because I didn't want to really go outside yet. I was like, I guess I'll write a poem. Okay, I read it to us. Here I am in... By the way, like, hypothetical.

Like, I'm not actually... I was in my bed. Got it. In my hotel. Here I am in the stew. And of course, you're here too. 9 a.m. on the dot, give or take about 20. Any questions for me?

I'm sure you have plenty. I'm hungry. I'm tired. My stomach hurts. Going diving. Oh, fuck. I'm going to start over. Take it from the top.

Take a from the top. Here I am in the stew. And of course, you're here too. 9 a.m. on the dot, give or take about 20. Any questions for me? I'm sure you have plenty. I'm hungry. I'm tired.

My stomach. hurts going diving with Dylan and our huge baggy shirts i'll take it here you take it there ass so stuck to the kelly clarkson chair in many ways it feels like being back in class i'm learning stuff i've been too afraid to ask what's quantum what's nato and how cruise ships float and yeah we're allowed to vote whatever happened to that Malaysian airline case and who the hell pooped on my face our tubes are tied so sorry i died you have a heart out at 12 i guess i'll leave then to b nc map woohoo is it really good i'm being so serious when i tell you yes yes was that genuinely you and not chat get put it all in no how could how could chat g even do that i guess like they have access to our

podcast no i wrote that that was all really really good and i do actually you know i had that thought. I was like, if you're feeling, if you're feeling like AI is taking over the world, don't forget about the AB, A, A, B. Rhyme scheme. Like, I really feel creatively released in that way. I was like, I will always have A B, A. A.B. Rime scheme. That was genuinely like Dr. Seuss. It felt that way. Yeah. I did feel a little bit, I'm laying in my bed kind of like, you know that one meme of that guy and he's looking at his phone and just the blue lights at his face? And he's like, that was me this morning. Wow. Thanks. Connor, that was really beautiful. I know.

And I'm glad you shared that. Thanks. Will you share it at Netflix's a joke? Yeah. Oh my God. I forgot about that. And you know what? I've been trying to figure out some way to incorporate the podcast into, into like, the larger scope of the comedy.

Really? Yeah. Because I think a lot of people probably come to the show from, I mean, probably most come to the show from the podcast. And I'm like trying to write. like we just share everything on here so i think i just need to write about the the um inner whatever patrick says about our brain the inner working the inner Patrick star the inner workings of my brain are an enigma what does he say i don't know i don't know i think we maybe maybe have to write more about the thought process getting put into oh yeah

the inner machinations of my mind are an enigma when did he say that because i think this was what was in his box was that when his parents came his box oh the one with the secret compartment yeah you may be an open book sponge bob but i'm a bit more complicated than that the inner machinations of my mind are an enigma that always really got me and i don't think it's like intentionally deep the inner workings of my mind or an enigma and then spilled milk and he's not crying over it i think it was a larger statement on him being so far removed from society and people looking at him as this like idiot and numb to the world when in reality is like I've numbed myself to the parts that maybe aren't so important I don't I don't cry over spilled milk I don't sweat the small stuff wow I've intentionally removed myself and things that worry other people and I've I've found peace in that you know what would be a really good idea like for a podcast for you in the future is taking things like like SpongeBob that people like don't necessarily deem as like intellectual simulation, but

breaking them down in this sort of way that's like, no, you don't understand like this is the Shakespeare Virgin. You know I heart symbolism. Yeah, I think that should be the name of your podcast. I heart symbolism? Yeah. And go through things that are like- Scaring me that you're suggesting that I do my own podcast right now?

No, well, I had one too. It could be that type of thing. You don't have to do it forever. Just like a little side project. Yeah, I don't really. with this is your main yeah I'm not leaving

less hi peace okay I believe you we recorded it hold her to it okay well I have some stuff that happened today so as I'm writing this

already it's nine I've been up since 630 what time did you wake up 630 wow the sun the sun came out the sun's out

I'm like what am I doing here lying in bed had so many things running around my head. I'm stuck. Foot's getting itchy. I wonder what that means. I haven't seen you bitch in a long time, but I guess we don't do in Stu.

Truly, I think I'm allergic to something in California because it doesn't happen. I think it's me. No. Because can I say, can I be honest? Like, I think it's stress. I think you just got stressed about me saying that you should do a solo podcast.

And I mean my foot itchy. And then your foot immediately started itchy. Oh my gosh. That's scary to think. I really think it has something to do. But it could be circulation. It's not. It's only when I'm in California.

Izzy, can we go wide of my feet itch in California? That's a red hot chili pepper song. Itchy feet in California are commonly caused by dry skin from the arid climate or fungal infections like athletes' foot. Awesome. Awesome. Which thrives in warm, humid conditions. I don't think you just like randomly get athletes foot every time you get you come. don't think it's athlete's foot either do you think it's the dry air then why would it only be your

feet and you're not wearing sandals did you bring your wickers no i didn't bring my wickers and in fact i'll tell you more about my wickers in just a second i brought my burks i'm back on burke okay it is so important to have options that you can retire and bring back out because it's like when it is christmas time and you bring the christmas decorations and i'm like oh i'm excited about this again. It's, you know what my mama does? Well, my mama does is she puts, um, she, she, she, she cycles dog toys in and out. So the dog is like, that's very smart. Yeah. Yeah. And so that's what I do with my, my footwear, my open toes. Um, what was I going to tell you about? Oh yeah. So it's, so I'm sitting in the coffee shop this morning and I'm writing this poem. I'm writing away.

You wrote the poem in a coffee shop? I finished it. I got a lot. You started in your bed. Yeah, there was like lines like who poop pooped on my face and I was like I needed an A for this B. And like I hadn't gotten there. And then I was like, well, I'm wasting away in bed. Like I need to let me go on a walk. Once I start moving, things start coming back to me. Got it. Shower, walking, running about to fall asleep. Those are my foremost creative states. Got it. Places when I don't have access to write anything down. And then I'm like, try to remember that. Try to remember that. And so I just need to lock in. You need to get a traveler's notebook. I need a. I need a. I need a microchip. For real, for real, like, smart house vision. You mean like some, like a chip in your wrist you can speak into? Speak into, but I'd like to see it written out. I almost want it in my eye.

I get that. Because, like, I want to be, like, on a run, but be working. You need glasses, like special glasses. Yeah. Yeah. I would like to be on a run and being, like, writing. Because that's when I'm listening to music and stuff, and that's what I'm like, oh, this is a funny joke.

This is a funny end. And I have nowhere to store that. I can't stop running. Yeah. Mm-mm. Anyway, so I'm at the coffee shop and I'm kind of like dialed and like blah blah blah. This guy comes and sits right next to me and it's a nice day out. I'm sitting outside.

He starts eating in a way that like, have you ever seen at the zoo when they bring an entire melon for the hippo? And they put it in its mouth and it's like there's no way that hippo is about to eat that whole melon. Yeah, I've seen videos. I've seen videos. I haven't been lucky enough to see that in person. I haven't seen it in person either. but it's really, I watch the whole thing. When animals chew, that's okay.

I listen to an hour of that. When people chew, gun violence. I'm sorry. I just like really, truly, I was trying to work my way through this because I was like, it's so nice out. He's allowed to chew. You have to chew your food to swallow it. You know, like that is like a human right.

I wanted to take the metal stool I was on and hit him over the back of the head. Explain how he was chewing. I'm not going to do it in the mic. It was like, I could hear it when his mouth was closed. But then every now and then it would release us. He would smack. But it was his lips and it was almost like, I was like completely unnecessary to like the process of getting it down his goal.

I want to be with you when this is happening one time. So I can see like if it's like truly like unacceptable or just your sense. No, it's something that I don't like about. I don't I'm not like everyone else is wrong and I'm right it's something that I wish that I was tolerant with like I just I genuinely no I understand but I'm still really curious you know how they call it misophonia like I have fear of chewing I don't I'm not scared of it I want to fucking kill you I don't think it's fear that would be misophobia ooh what's phonia sounds yeah oh what's what's what's what's miss oh bad like bad sound is he are we able to get to the Latin root of that word

Can I take a break really quick to thank a sponsor of today's episode? It's one of my favorites. You may. If you were to guess without even looking, do you know what it would be? Genuinely quince.

Yeah, genuinely quince. Recently, I've been trying to simplify my everyday style and lean into pieces that feel easy, comfy, still put together. I'm moving right now. I need less. I need better and I need less.

That's my motto. That's why I've been reaching for Quince lately. The materials feel elevated. The fit is really flattering. And everything just kind of works out without me overthinking it. Quince makes it easy to refresh your everyday wardrobe this spring with pieces that feel as good as they look. They use premium materials like 100% European linen, organic cotton, and ultra-soft denim. Their lightweight linen pants, dresses, and tops start at $30 in are effortless, breathable, and easy to wear on repeat.

Quint has been my go-to for a while now. I've gotten such high quality pieces like my boyfriend hoodie at such affordable prices. I love him. I do too. Everything at Quince is priced 50 to 80% less than similar brands

and they work directly with ethical factories to cut out the middleman. So you're paying for quality and craftsmanship, not brand markup. Refresh your everyday with luxury you'll actually use. Head to quince.com slash B&C for free shipping on your order

Quince.com slash B-N-C But keep going. Well, it's just like why, like, why... Hatred of sound. Hatred of sound. Okay, that's right. That's exactly what I feel. They nailed that one.

I, for real, was like, this is, it's crazy that the young man next to me holds so much power over my well-being. His mouth is... The deciding factor, whether I have a good morning or bad morning. His mouth has power over me. And he won.

It's my, it's, this man's mouth has power over me. And it's my Achilles heel. Like, how pathetic. How pathetic if I was in Hunger Games, if someone was chewing next to me and I'm PETA buried beneath the earth, I'd be like, I'd die. Because I'd be like, shut up! You know, like, stop. Like, you have to chew with your mouth closed. You know that TikTok trend that's with the song?

Like, I've got the magic. and me it's like people realizing like what you can do like you can let go like and you have the magic in you like you can you can just release the power that this man's mouth has over you no and pov you've got the magic in you brook i have tried because i caused probably close to my parents divorce or you could put your headphones in that's you've got the magic in you you just have to remember that you have the magic is what i'm trying to say but like in this you just find a way to get that magic in the vein like this guy has the magic to like shut the he also has the magic shut your battle it's like Voldemore Harry both your wand oh my God you both have the magic you need to

figure out who's gonna be powerful obviously I'm Voldemort there because like he's simply going about his day and like trying to be Voldemort trying to sign to sustain himself and I'm like I'm gonna kill him it's fine to be Voldemort sometimes I was Voldemort this morning kind of why got in a fight with the young man who was deliberate I ordered it was my friend's birthday in New York. And so I ordered her Levine cookies. And the guy was like, where do I leave the cookies? Let me pull this up. It was actually like pretty damn frustrating. So in the instructions, I was like, you can just leave them at the front desk because I said to him to her office. Yeah. And so you can just leave them at the front desk. And then so he says, it's hard to be. Hi, I'm in the lobby. And I said,

great, you can leave them at the front desk. And my friend will come get, we'll come get them. And he said, where am I going to leave him? And I said at the front desk. And he said, what's your address then? And he said, and then he gave the address that he has. And I said, yes, that's right. You can leave it at the front desk. And then I said, there's a big sign that says the address. And then he said, that's why I'm here. And I said, are you at? And then I gave the address. And I said, you can leave it. And I said, you can leave it. in the lobby, the person at the front desk is waiting for you. So then he sent a picture of the outside of the building. Go in. He said, I am here. I need you to go in. And I said, go.

I said, you can go in and leave it at the front desk. And then he said, I've been here for a while now. I've been here for a very long time. And then I said, and then my friend went out and got them. And then he said, again, I was there for a very long time. And I said, well, I don't know why you didn't go to the lobby. I want to empower you to go. then that was the end of the discussion.

Oh, Lord. It's, it's, it's, New York is hard. Even if, if I was, if I was physically there being like, can you deliver to this? It is very like, for whatever reason, like, harder than any other. I, and I have sympathy for that. Like, I have trouble getting around in New York. But the way that he sent me a picture of, of the door and said multiple times, I'm in the lobby. And, like, I could see, like, the door, like, go in it.

Go inside. It was hard for me to, to put my shoe, my head in his shoes. Put, yeah. You know, especially because I've been there many times and like you can just walk in. Yeah. And the front, you could, and in this photo imagery that he said, I see the front desk through the glass door. So it was hard for me to put myself in a shoe in that situation, whereas I could see the lobby.

I mean, you were very, you kept a very level head. I did. Like on the way here, I was like, I was being rude, but I wasn't. No. When I said, I don't know why you just got to the lobby. Because I don't know that. I don't know that. So this morning, I was.

I was tested. But now I'm here. Got the cookies. The cookie. She got the cookies and everything's okay. Everything is okay and it will be okay. But I was tested. And this piece of hair is like really not helping.

I like it. Aesthetically it might be fine, but like I can't stress enough what it's doing to my peripheral. Can I tell you what it reminded me of? I worry. Don't worry. What is it? Well, one time we did like disco themed dinner. for cousin logan's birthday yeah and i for some they gave us all these like um little light up

things that you stick it was like the wires that like they light up at the end and i put one in my hair and i was pretending to be an alien that would drink out of the long string and i'd be like goop go go it was like a hit at dinner because obviously it wasn't drinking through the strings like i'll show you i have it i have an image i have an image yeah i have an image um and it's right here because I was actually about to post it because there's so much joy in the photo. Is this new? No, this is from a while ago, but look at the strings and I was drinking. Oh.

Look how hard everyone's laughing up. They're dying. Including you. I was laughing really hard. That's cute. There I am with the strings. That's a wholesome moment. My drinking strings.

Well, I'll tell you why it was so funny to me. I think I told the story a while back, but we were in Maui for Logan's birthday. Yeah. And my only job, the only thing I was supposed to plan was birthday dinner. Yeah. For the love of God, I forgot to plan birthday dinner. And it was a Friday night. And finally I call her, and I'm like, Mexican food is perfect for a birthday because you can eat as much or as little.

You can share plates, like, whatever. Margaritas are fun. I call, I find a Mexican ration, and I was like, hey, I know it's a stretch. I know it, like, it's already 5 p.m. Do you have any openings for like 7, 7.30? and they go, uh, let me check.

And they leave. And I'm like, come on, come on, please, please, please. Like they're checking,

maybe they're pulling some strings. And I did that thing that you should do where it's like, I'm stupid, I'm an asshole, I'm putting you in a bad position. Please throw me a bone. My life's on the line here. And that was well received.

And they come back, go, listen, I'm going to stick my neck out for you. I'm going to pull some strings. I got you a table for eight. And I go, you are the best.

Thank you so much and we're Ubering. And we kind of pass like the town and I go okay that's the town where like the restaurants are and then

we pull up to a strip a strip mall. Fine, that's fine. Totally fine. And someone in the back goes, are we pulling into the strip strip mall?

It was just like a it was like completely like in between like cash for gold and nail salon. Sometimes those are the best places. And it wasn't, though. It wasn't and not only that,

there was four people in the whole restaurant and then our eight person tables right in the middle and there was plenty of tape. I'm so confused like what. They wanted to make it, they wanted you to come. I feel like if they were right away, like absolutely you would have been like questioning the restaurant.

It was, it was funny. I don't, I really don't even think we ate anything. We were just like laughing the whole time. You had a good time. We were having fun. With memories that have lasted you this lifetime. Yeah. Dinner and karaoke might be the perfect birthday.

That sounds good to me. Yeah. It's pretty awesome. I can't remember why I told you that. Oh, because of your hair. Yeah. I have to sneeze. Bless you.

Sorry. Whoa. Thank you. Appreciate it. Sorry again. Hi. I'm so sorry. No, it's totally fine.

I saw two movies. Do you want to hear about them or later? Should we do TV movie at the end? I have some stuff too. Yeah. Oh, my socks shirt. used. It's okay.

I was walking back from the coffee shop. I had like a eventful morning. Seems like it. Full-blown, I'm walking up. I'm like, there is a baby bird that has fallen out of a nest. And I like walk up to it. And I'm like, oh my gosh, crap. Like, I don't know what to do.

You know you panic when there's a baby bird on the ground because what are you going to do? Lob it up. Birds are like completely left behind in terms of evolution. Like if your baby falls out of the nest, it's just like, good luck, Charlie. You can't, the bird can't pick it up with its mouth, no arms. That is just like, that's, that's the end of your- A mama can pick it up with its beak, no? No.

No. Birds don't pick up their babies with their beaks. Are you sure? No, those are just for nuts and berries, complete, and seeds. Not babies. Okay. I promise. I believe you.

Because I've run into this several times where it's just like, and I can't help because there's nothing I can do. And I, I run. Can you call the wild. I go to walk up and I'm like, oh no, and there's people walking by me. Yeah, you can call the wild life. And they're like, what? I'm like, there's a baby bird and we all walk.

There was like three or four of us. We walk over and I was like, ah, half an eaten burrito completely not a baby bird. It was a burrito sitting on the ground. Thanks. Thank you. So that was actually like a weight off. Yeah. That sounds good.

Thanks. How many times I've pulled over my car to go, like, save a dog on the side of the road and it's just like a stick. Yeah. Or like a big log or like a bag of trash. I guess it could have been a dog in the back of trash Well I'm crisis averted Yeah And I'm

Hey Hey I told you I have a lot of stuff to say to it It's like not pertinent to anyone That's fine Connor told me he had a lot of personal stuff Like the dead burrito Yeah

It's extremely personal That's personal to me No I know I know Because I got the street involved Everyone was like what are we doing What are we doing? I'm like we got to figure out what to do with this bird And then it ended up being half a burrito

So I'm on right now because by the way, this will be 100% the most viable ad for piece of cake moving that will ever exist because I didn't, I thought my lease ended Wednesday. It ended today. So I'm physically in California. My lease in New York ends today. Piece of cake is in my apartment as we speak. I didn't do anything. So like truly, if this works out that you can, you guys can, and I paid for it. So like they're not paying me. They didn't give me it for free. I paid 100% have not even chatted with them. And they're taking all your stuff to a storage unit.

To a storage unit. And it's the storage unit. I don't know if this is always or just right now because of the volume of people moving, but it's free for the first month. There's, how? I don't know. I don't know. How'd they get into your apartment?

Someone's there. Wow. To let them in. Yeah, obviously my landlord goes, excuse me, did you, did you take the window gates with you? go, did I take the window gates? I was like, I'm sorry, what do you mean? She goes, they're not there.

And I'm like, no, I didn't take the window gates with the like huge things that they bar up the windows with that like, she goes, oh, sorry, they were just open because the window was open. I was like, she thinks I'm taking this. But this will be, I'm physically here. The fact that there's a group of young buff men in my apartment moving all my stuff out, and I have nothing to, it's everything I own. And it's, you didn't organize an.

any way, shape or form. Nothing. I made a list of like, you know, all the stuff in the kitchen, do it, like try to organize them in this way. All my rocks and my chotchkes. Wow. That's, I'll be really, really curious to see how this goes. Me too. I'm getting, I'm getting texts like as it, as it goes because I asked my assistant just, can you just like send me, look at that. They're just, it's boxes and I'm completely like genuinely, they're packing you and moving you out. I know. And it looks good. It looks really good. So where will you go when you go back to New York? And what stuff will you have?

Where will you go? Love that. I love these questions. They're honest questions. I don't know. I do not know. And I'm here for two weeks. So that's like half of it.

I toured two places yesterday virtually. Okay. Which is fabulous because you can't get any read on FaceTime or video. So here's my options. I have one that is. like a nice apartment apartment it's in a building um like modern like modern but like it has character and it like you can make it cozy and it looks really nice clean kitchen laundry in unit laundry and then there's another lot of character harder sell i think to the average

you're going to go with that one aren't you something so wrong with me something's so wrong with me something is so wrong with me guess who's taking the one with the one with the last one is taking the one with the lot of character. There's no way. Yes. Is there a washer dryer? There's a washer dryer. What? Yeah. To find the character. Okay. It looks musty, dusty, dirty and old. And there's a, but there's a yard. And the yard is the same size as the, the apartment. A genuine yard. That need some loving. Need some TLC for sure. Are you going to give it that? My mom is going to come to town. That's great. Yeah. Where is it in a good location? Yep. Similar to where you were. Simular, yes.

And I like it. I am just like, when I come back here in a month or two and I start talking about the man that's living in my walls or like, you know, the fact that my apartment's like now filling with water because it's below sea level. Yeah. Just say, well, these are the cards that you actually dealt yourself. Yes.

This was dealers and players' choice. Yes, the dealer. I looked at the cards. I said this one, this one, this one. Yeah. This card's wet. Yeah, I'll take it. I'll take this one.

Okay, we'll hold you accountable. Yeah, I'm really, I'm interested, but truly, like, I was, I was talking to people and everyone I sent it to was like, this just seems more homey. Can I see it? Yeah. I do think that you will like it. I'm going to send you the link. Okay.

So you can see the photos that I have been sending people. Send me the link. Can you also send me the other one, too? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I won't do that. I'm going to see if, if, what choice I would have made. Right. Yeah. You just hold your, hold your tongue.

Trying. Okay, so here is, here is, um, the, the, the homey one. And I want to flag that there was a family of four living in it. Okay. And they obviously had to, it's not, it's not room for family four, but like, they told me. Okay, this is the one that you went with. This is the one I'm going with, with my heart. And do you officially have it yet or no no no no no we toured yesterday I applied today And then this is the one that everyone else is saying you should have you should probably take because you're an adult This place is cute it's cute it's like really cluttered from the family of four That's what I'm thinking so it's hard to see past that yeah but I don't see like anything wrong with it whatsoever

me either i don't even think it's musty and dusty i think it's just really cluttered okay and like which it won't be totally will okay this place pretty damn nice Connor yeah it cheaper too i will say it's cheaper too that that one doesn't have a studio space for the podcast though i why is this place so much cheaper um because it doesn't have the outside space that the other one has an office space that I could do the podcast. Okay. I don't think you made a bad decision. Well, hang on.

All I do in New York is look for places to sit outside. Imagine having places to sit outside. Yeah, I don't think you made a bad decision at all. I don't think there's anything wrong with the place you picked. The other one's just more updated. I will say my assistant went to both. Yeah. She went to that one first and she sent a page.

She's like, I totally see you being here like without a 90 to five. This is a great place to hang out all day. Like work and do whatever and film the podcast. And then she went to the other one. She goes, okay, so this is very different. Ha ha. She goes, I could see you getting stir crazy and kind of depressed in here. It's dark.

Okay. Well, then you have your answer. Yeah, I was trying to convince other people and they were like, yeah. I mean, it's very nice. The current or the one you didn't go with? The one I, my heart's not in that one. No, you need to go with the one that your heart is in. Yeah.

I don't think that's a wrong choice. Okay, we'll see. We will see. We always do. Yeah, and we always do. Things are constantly unfolding around us. We always do. What I love about leases is that they're one year.

Mm-hmm. hair grows back you know don't i know it that's a good way to look at don't i know it general i think i would make the same choice as you okay if i were you there's a lot of work happening right now too which results in a lot of travel happening which results in just like you're never home in you're never going to be it's like a hotel room you're never home yeah but i honestly think that that'll be nice and there's ways to do it and we can stop talking about my apartments that no one else can see because this is an audio podcast um But I'm excited.

I had an experience that you had with La Jolla this weekend.

Are we moving to La Jolla? No, no, I had no. It was not with La Jolla. It was not with La Jolla. It was with Pittsburgh. No, Connor, no. Yeah. I heart symbolism and Pittsburgh.

Where in Pittsburgh? This general city. The way I, the way I had, I want to apologize the city. I want to make it like an actual entity. I want to personify the city of Pittsburgh. I'm sorry, Pittsburgh. It is like you do picture Pittsburgh as like steel. It's not.

It's like, it's nice and not. It's nice, but it's not like, La Jolla. No, it was just, I had this attachment to this little town. It was like, it was very Riverdale Gilmore Girls vibe. Really?

Yeah, like a little city with a big secret. That's kind of what it felt like. Okay. I'm curious about where you were because, you know, my brother went to Pitt. Oh my God, yeah. Yeah. Well, it was their graduation this weekend.

Yeah. It was also because, we stayed downtown and it was there was a marathon the NFL draft was there and then they had the graduation so it was like a I think there was a lot of action happening but we walked out it it was very cute I remember when I went I only went like twice but each time I was like pleasantly surprised but again like it's no La Jolla there are no seals in Pittsburgh there's a lot of rivers there's probably some seals and I don't know I guess the vibe is like don't swim in the river type shit? I would assume. Why though? Oh, I just would like nothing good can be going in that river.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. At least I know in Philly, like it's like the most amount of bodies. Philly has the most amount of bodies in the river. I think it's in the Schuylkill River. And Izzy, can we look up which rivers have the most dead bodies? Oh. Hi. That makes sense that Pittsburgh's has industrial pollution. But I also feel like I wouldn't be surprised if it's just like my mom telling me that most of the dead bodies are by me oh okay talk about the uh one in india like that's specifically oh yeah of the kern the killer kern river in california killer kern the mississippi river so not the scookle at all i think these probably have the most bodies like the mississippi's just like a huge river you know so i think that like in terms of

distance just in terms of like how big they are everybody everyone can dump their bodies in Mississippi River. Right. The Houston Bayous. Yeah, I've heard that. I want to go to a bayou. Ooh, it is pretty great. Like, what's the difference between a bayou and a swamp?

Down on the bayou, I think it's a word for word. It's a word for a word. Do you think? Yeah. It's difficult to say which river has the most dead bodies, Google said. Bios are slow-moving, shallow, meandering waterways, often found in the southeastern U.S. whereas swamps are forested wetlands characterized by stagnant or slow-moving shallow water

filled with trees like Cyprus. A key distinction is that bayous are generally moving sluggish creeks while swamps are usually flooded areas or permanent water-saturated forests. Gotcha. Thank God. Gotcha. Wow.

That's awesome. But yeah, so Pittsburgh, I fuck with you. Okay. I really, really liked it. I really enjoyed it. I had a good time. It was kind of, everyone was very nice. geographically very confusing because it's very hilly and there's rivers it looks like

north carolina and then i learned we're next to west virginia and ohio right ohio's just a 45 minute drive away and it was funny because we did in the carolines like last week we did two big theaters we did like what we did in like san diego these huge theaters yeah and then in pittsburg we did a tip of like a comedy club more intimate yeah but they're fun we did four shows it was just like it was fun because it's just like kind of rowdier um um and it It was very rowdy. Pittsburgh came to party. Fun? Yeah, it was fun.

A little difficult to lock in. I was about to say when we did our live shows, I had like a pretty hard time with anyone heckling. Like I would like get so distracted and engaged. I'd be like, what? Yeah. What's funny is like you have to be like, okay, I can't like no one else is involved in this conversation. I'm like trying to. I'm like, well, I don't want to ignore this person that's actively volume above everyone else talking to me.

Right. You have to. It's hard. It was really hard. And then Netflix is a joke on Wednesday. Yeah. I'll be there. It's so unbelievable.

That you're doing Netflix is a day. I agree. I'm freaked out. Walk me through it. How big is it? I think it's 1,200. That's a lot. Like what size stadium like that?

I've never been to it. It's the Avalon Theater. The Avalon Theater. And when this comes out, it will be over. Isn't that nice when that happened? This is one of those things. Yeah, it's like, it's like, you know how we talked about Phoebe for a long time? I'm like, May, May, that's like crazy.

And then it's like, that's in three weeks, yeah? Ooh. Yeah. This is one of those things where it's like, I don't even have to think about that. And then it's on Wednesday now. Yeah. And everybody, this is one of those where it's like, a lot of times we have people come and it's like, okay, there's just one person. Like every single person that moves any amount of needles in my career,

currently is going to be seated at the show. Good. Well, we'll see. I've been working on a lot of new material. Okay. And I think I have it all kind of dialed in. And I think it transitions really well. Okay.

But at the end of the day, this is not a special. This is a comedy show. Will there be cocktails? I've never been. I don't know. But we're going to do something after. Oh, really? Yeah, we should.

Okay. If you want to. Xavier and Maggie are going to be there opening. And then we're going to go celebrate after. But yeah, it'll be good. this is the last thing I'm doing before we film the special. Yay. Yeah, in June.

So it should be really fun. This is going to be like, once I'm done with this, I'm going to be like, like, like, like, like, like someone that goes, like retires to Florida, just like, like Jimmy Buffett. What was Jimmy Buffett's whole deal? Bless you. Sorry. How come he just got to like fuck off down to Florida because he. I think that was just his vibe.

Okay. Margaritaville. Is anyone like claiming? that space right now or could I Jimmy Buffett? I think you could. Well, you know, I went to the Jimmy Buffett tribute concert. I heard it was so awesome. It was like one of the best

memories and like I wouldn't say in like Jimmy Buffett. Like he's amazing. Like I didn't really like couldn't name like five songs before I went to that. And now he's like a brother to me. It really, really is just like Quaylude vibes.

Oh, totally I've never done lewd but. They're not around. Really? They're extinct. Quailudes are extinct. No. Yes.

They just stopped making quailudes? Yes. No, they didn't. Yes. People do quailudes. I don't know if they do. Can we look up quailudes? Sorry.

Yeah. Completely stop making them by classifying methacolone as a schedule one drug, meaning he has no accepted medical use and high potential for abuse. Are there still any, like, around? In 1984, that's like complete perfect. Yeah, that's a long time ago. Wasn't, oh, Jimmy Buffett was like 90s? Oh, I actually don't know.

But I'm just saying like they're probably not still around if they stopped making them in 1984. Legitimate quailudes are not manufactured or legally prescribed in the United States having been banned in the mid-1980s due to high addiction. Okay. Counterfeit ones might exist. Yeah. Oh, they do call them ludes. Yeah. Oh.

I know. I had a family member who did a lot of them. Really? Mm-hmm. Fun. I mean, not fun. Just like fun that you know that. Yeah.

But like obviously like doing drugs is bad and I don't do any like sort of hard drug. But I think I'd be curious about these because something they just make you kind of like drunk. It's like I think it's like the I think probably Xanax vibes like. I've never done how to Xanax. I'm like once when I was having panics. Can you look up what do quailudes make you feel? I think they make you really horny. No.

Yes. They definitely make you your dick not work. In recreational usage subjects commonly reported. a constellation of effects that compromises intense relaxation, euphoria, euphoria, and a feeling of well-being. They also report impaired coordination, slurred speech, and numbness of portions of their body. Okay, so inside you're feeling relaxed, euphoric, and well, and outside you're going, that makes a lot of sense with what I know from Wolf of Wall Street. That's exactly what it was.

I do think they make you horny. Can Izzy, can you look up if they make you horny? Do quailudes make you feel horny? Yes. Wow. Increased libido. But like there's no way... The love drug and thigh opener.

They were also called that. Well, I don't think that you'd be able to get like a boner with a... You know? Well, Izzy, you know what to do. Can quailudes give you a boner? Good question. While quailudes were famously associated with increased libido, they often had the opposite effect on physical performance.

frequently causing a rectile dysfunction. Well, the... Just as I had dot. The people that I've heard from that they make you horny, we're all women. The thigh opener. The thigh opener. Exactly. Me with my wide open thighs.

I'm like, hello. Hi. Okay, shouldn't have hit my weiner with my fist on the podcast, but it's too late. So, and tell. Yeah, it's fine to do. Let's go ahead and leave that in

for the sake of transparency and for transparency sake. Fine to do. Mostly audio listeners anyway. Anyways, if you want to watch me, get physical, go ahead and click YouTube. Speaking of getting physical, guess what I'm doing this weekend?

Is it something physical? Yeah. Are you going on that hike? No, I'm going to go on the hike, but I'm not going to... It was too hot last time I went. I may not go on that one. Doing this weekend involves getting physical. Is it some sort of class?

Well, no. It's a competition of sorts. Are you doing wipeout? No. Are you doing something with Dylan? I have not tapped to do anything prevent. I have not been tapped to do anything. Don't worry. Are you doing something with Dylan? No. It's an as an athletic competition

Yes. I don't think I know many of those. I'm running a 5k. Yeah. In LA? Yeah, it's that Bert Berth Berth Kreischer, the thigh opener. Bert Kreisher and Tom Sawgura have like a 5k. I know those names. They're comedians, the comics, but they're like OG older and they have this thing. I think it's for charity. Yeah, two bears 5K. It's for Netflix's a joke. And there's like comics going, but I think that people can run it. You can just like opt in to. Wow. And I think it's for charity. These things are hard for me because it's hard for me to like remove the competitiveness, even though they're like, it's for fun. You don't have to try. You could do that easily though, right? It's three miles. Yeah. I would, do you know, I would like end up in the hospital?

You could do three miles. Like Connor? I, you know, I was, I did cross country. I couldn't do one mile. Brooke, this would take you half an hour, like half an hour. Connor, I promise you. I can't, I can't breathe. I could walk it in three hours, but I would not be able to run that. I think you could.

Connor, I can't stress this enough. Like, you don't understand. Wait. Oh, the first one is in 2024. So this is like the third. The third annual. Not your mama's 5K. Oh.

How do you know that? Yeah. Why is it not my mama's, though? It's just different. they ran a 5k, spontaneous calls, comedian friends, the event snowballed into a full-blown. Wait, is there charity or did I make that up? Beers laugh laughs and fitness? Is it top?

Okay, that's the podcast. Okay, no, do they, are they keeping the money? Looks like they're not if you keeping the money. Okay. Hmm. I was telling everyone I was doing like a charity thing. Can we look and see who these, oh, this is them. Yeah.

I've never seen. them. But I definitely don't know. I think maybe the right one I've seen. It's hard to say though. I think you've seen. He always has a shirt off like that. All right.

Well, congrats to them for keeping the money. And I'm hosted by Spartan. And I think Spartan may keep the money as well. So congrats to everyone's bottom line. I'm taking part as well. Laugh hard make friends with the smoothest vodka on earth. I'm confused.

And joyous, it's a stress-free race. That's what makes it different. See, like, my thing is like, I can't do me. You can become a hero behind the scenes. Play a pivotal role in creating an unforgettable experience. Whether you're setting up the course. I thought that was going to be charity. All of this verbiage is like, what, like, oh, I'm going to be a hero.

For us to make money. Wow. Are you still going to do it? Yeah. I don't have anything going on. I'm like, yeah, I'm going to go run the 5K. That would be fun. It will be nice to get.

my ass up and run for 25 minutes. I want to go to a Dodgers game. Ooh, I want to do that. Should we get a group together? I would like to do that. Okay. Let's start to think about doing that. And then I can repost our old video one more.

No, not that one. Oh, gosh, the way I've been recycling old content and it does numbers every single time. It's like, hey, can you do this an OG piece again? And that timeless piece? Let me tell you about the movies that I saw. Yeah. I went to the premiere of remarkably bright. creatures.

No spoilers. I want to read the book even though everyone tells me it's like a bullshit throwaway book. What? Not at all. Okay, you guys, this is coming. Okay, everyone laughing at me? Not at all.

Guys, I haven't read it. I haven't read it. Who would say that? Everyone that. No. Okay, everyone that. Who would say that? I heard someone say because.

Who would say that? Because of the Canva cover, they're like, oh, this is one of those like. It's not a Canva cover. Look up the, it's cute. A little, it's Marcellus, the octopus, hello? Okay, don't get mad at me. This is, I'm just a little frustrated. I haven't read the book.

And Marcellus, the octopus, I fell for him so much that there's a giant Pacific octopus storyline in Phoebe because of my love for Marcellus. The book is incredible. I don't think you'll like it. It's like cozy heartwarming. Who do you think I, like? Why would I not like? Because you like reading about like tortured people and like boring.

You like boring stuff. I think this is a little bit too good like sweet. I'm gonna need you to stop. I think it's precious. Oh, I like precious stuff. Fine, then try it. Try it. Okay, I might try it.

Jesus Christ. I don't like the way you spoke about it. I don't know about it. I don't think I spoke. I don't, but I don't want you to like, it's like, it's too good. Like, I don't think you're going to like it. And then I'm going to get upset. Because I don't think it's for you.

I'm reading this fucking, fucking book. I don't think you're going to like it. I'm going to read the book. Read the book. See if I care. But. Oh my God. The way I'm reading the book today.

No, you won't. Start to finish. Do what you won't. No, I'm going to read the book. It's incredible, Connor. And Sally Fields is in the movie. Sally Field is in the movie. An American sweetheart national treasure.

It was not a case of premier blindness. I cried the entire time. I thought it was so good, so well done. My one qualm that I had with the book, they took care of in the movie. Is that Lewis? So that's Lewis Pullman. Yeah. Now, he was a fabulous, completely fabulous.

Did you know he stayed in Kaya Gerber? Yeah. I didn't know that. Because they were all in Kaba together with Jake, Shane. Okay. That makes sense. Yeah, I didn't know that at all. He has my lips.

He has, I can see that. A.K. none. I can see that. I'm going to hit up Lewis Pullman and see if he wants to go get a lip flip with me. Ooh, that could be hot. You could vlog it. Hello, new content.

Hi, Lewis. Me and Lewis getting new lips. I'm sorry for the way I reacted earlier. It's okay. I truly like that was, that was spoken. I also was like, fuck you. It's okay. I just, I promise you two people separately have told me this is like, this is like the,

you are a badass book. Like take the cover off. Don't let anyone know that you're reading this in public. That is like the exact opposite. of what it is. It's like an international bestseller, like beloved by everyone. I think that that was the thing. It's like everyone's reading this book like, because it's that good. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what I heard, but that's like, that was what I received. I'm curious about who told you. I do. I do. It is like very like,

cozy. Okay. I'm going to read it. So I'll be, I'll, I'll come back to you. Okay. It is like some chapters are from the POV of an octopus. Is what I'm trying to say. I can, like, you say that to me like that's like a foreign concept i can wrap my head around pov from the october can you yes i know you say that i wish i had my kindle so i could pull up a chapter no need because i'm going to be reading it i ordered a book to the hotel yeah how's your reading going it's good i'm starting a new book because it was recommended by several people giovanni's room have you heard of it honor like why are you doing it do you know about giovanni's room i don't know anything it just got my my thing after i posted i finished the book 16 people were like

read this book. Yeah, I mean, I could see it being similar. It's definitely very heavy. I like the cover. Me too. I like the cover. Let's see what this one's about. No, no, don't tell me.

Okay, you don't want to know. No, I don't like to know what anything is about. Sure. But tell me about your second movie. We're about to, we're closing out quickly. So, Remarkably, Work Futures was 10 out of 10, incredible. So faithful to the book. Amazing.

My one qualma with the book is that I thought they spent too much time on Cameron's, like, solo journey, which I didn't really care about, but they just tied him and Tova together so beautifully. So they were doing stuff together and maybe the whole time it was amazing. Okay. I saw D-Wares P2. Oh, yeah. And you know, not like a big D-Wars P-1 type of girl. Sure.

Like, I don't not like it, but like it's just not like one of my favorites. I thought this was cute. Cool. That's really it. It was like nothing like, whoa my God. But I definitely was entertained and I love Meryl Streep so much. It's insane. I do kind of feel like this was made four.

the fan, like, as like a fan nod and not like, fan fiction but a true, yeah, that's kind of what it felt like. And not like a true sequel. Well, correct me if I'm wrong because that's often the case. I think Devil Wars Prada, the original, was based off of a book.

Yeah. And then like, this one was like screenwriters just using inspiration from characters. Yeah. But I don't know if that's right. That's just what I think. So anyway, those are the two movies that I saw.

Good job. Thank you. I hope that you read remarkably by creatures. I'm gonna. Yeah. It was based off of the novel. So I guess is there a second novel? That would be a bummer if you were the writer of the first one and then I guess they

just buy the rights. Well, yes. There's a second book in the Devil Wars Prada, the Revenge of Devil Wars Returns. Follows Andy Tacks 10 years later, she launches her own bridal magazine with Emily and is forced back into orbit. So that's not what the second movie is about. Andy's successful editor of a bridal magazine and getting married. That's not what this is about.

So that's so interesting. They decided to go in a completely different direction. And they added like the most random-ass romance like three quarters of the way through that was so unnecessary. Like she was this like and you know I'm never like romance isn't necessary. I want romance and everything. The romance and this was not necessary. Thank you. Interesting.

Yeah. Speaking of romance. What? I had this idea the other. day because what are we talking about oh kindle jenner's dating jacob alorty now of course so kindle jenner's dating jacob alorty kiley is dating timothy shallame we're we're bordering on monopoly you like i truly think i'm serious like in terms of these are two the young men in hollywood that are signed on to like exclusive 10 project deals and they're all blockbuster films and then

you have this family that's, I think, signed some sort of 10 conglomerate corporation deals. Like, we are bordering on a monopoly that is like might need to be looked into breaking up. Like, I don't know how much money. Obviously, like, an AT&T makes a ton of money. But like, what does AT&T have to do with it? Like in AT&T, they broke up into like subsidiaries a long time ago because it was a monopoly. And like that doesn't work. And like a live nation, I think they're looking into as like a monopoly.

and like, I don't know how much money that the Kardashians have, but it's probably close to Live Nation. To me, it's more so giving like you have to marry within your means, like in the royal families. It's like keeping the royal families together. Does that make sense? Yeah, it makes. Like Hollywood staying within Hollywood. Yeah, but the royal families really just like hang out at their house and then go to the horse

show, you know, like, and then they are like, here, I'm here at this thing. They're not like, okay, Kim is producing all these movies. these actors are here like now these actors will be in these movies and then we're going to start businesses to like we're going to start all these businesses that like are pushed out at the people that watch the movies that Timothy Chalamay is in like skincare and like clothing and energy drinks and they're squinters and like I'm like oh my god like this is they're going to open a Walmart you know what I mean more in terms of like the Romanticie books I read when there are different realms and like Chris Jenner is the queen of her realm which is like the skincare

beauty like model like that's her realm and then there's another realm across the ocean that's like Hollywood like Oscar nominated movie stars and she's trying to merge the realms to strengthen her her own realm with an alliance yeah and like this is real life too and that is physically happening that's what I'm saying like it is it is giving the merging of the realm like I'm gonna tell the FTC okay but they could probably buy the FTC you know what I mean right and there's probably so many loopholes they obviously have like the probably the best lawyer in the world. And it's just like, I'm concerned.

I want us to see with clear vision what's happening before our eyes. It's like truly the, you're right, like the royal family. And it's like, let's build this empire. It's an empire. It's an empire. It's a freaking empire, yeah. Ooh, that's, oh, hey. Hey.

Speaking of the empire. What? May the fourth be with you. Hi. May the fourth be with you. And with you and yours. Have you seen Star Wars? We already talked about this.

Of course, I saw every single Star Wars. Sorry. I was a Star Wars freak. I want to. That was the only thing. That was the number one thing that besides Pirates of the Caribbean, which I would, I see more of myself in the Pirates trilogy or whatever series than Star Wars. Just because I ended up being scared of space at some point. But the Star Wars I was seeing in theaters every year because my friend Will would have his birthday.

We'd go see the Star Wars movie and then we'd sleep over at his house. Cute. Yeah. really fun. I would look forward to that every year. Something I need to tell you. Yeah. I'm reading, I'm reading three books at the same time, which I've never done. I'm reading a memoir, the last in my series, and a novel, which it's really been fun. But the memoir, I'm reading Lena Dunham's memoir. I am too.

You are? It just got delivered to my house and I haven't started it yet, but I'm reading it. I've been listening to it on audio because she narrates, and so that's fun. So you're not reading it. listening to audiobooks is consuming a book, whether you want to call it reading or not. Well, it's not reading. I don't want to get into this argument. Because you're listening to it. That's like someone read our podcast.

It's like, but like the verb, you're taking the verb read too literally. Like I'm consuming a book. Okay. Yeah. But I'm also, I'm reading it on my Kindle as well. I'm supplementing. Okay. So I wouldn't, I'm doing an immersive read.

Like if I came into the podcast and I was like, I read a book and I listened to the audiobook like I would feel like I would lose sleep I'd leave here with guilt playing on my chest. That's just what people say now. Like it's just a semantics thing. Like you're consuming the book. But, but I'm doing immersive, which is reading and listening to the same time. That's what I would want to do. Because I would need something to, if I'm listening to an audio book, I'm going to go ahead and like scroll on Instagram while I'm listening to the audio book. Yeah, but I'm also the only reason I said I'm listening is because I'm not doing immersive when my eyes are closed and I'm falling asleep at night and the audiobook is still going. Yeah. But before I close my eyes, I'm also reading it with the Kindle. But anyway, she talks about her health and how sick she's been. And I didn't know that she has Ellers. I can't ever get right. Ellers down low.

Ellers Down low. Ellers Down low. Ellers down low. Dollar. Drop it low. I can't. I'm sorry that I'm not. EDS is basically what.

Ellers Danlos. Ellers Danlo. Well, I sent you her, I sent you an Izzy, her post. And her caption was like, I've been seeking information about this forever. like nothing out there right yeah welcome to the club lena i've been i have to well you like haven't even spoken about it to a doctor yet well no because every time i go into the doctor i'm like i have this and they're like no you don't and i'm like no i haven't gotten into the weeds yet but let's see let's see what her journey is bring out of you're also like on at least a chronic pain like could that be

your back impossible to say but i think that that could be more of a pinched nerve to sit well you know as always we're keeping our eyes on it what's tissue fragility genetic disorders connective tissues skin issues soft velvety or stretching bruises easily hyper mobility i don't have hypermobility do you bruise easy no i don't bruise easy i scar easy but that's just because i'm all of skin colored which is like such a soft doughy texture do you think i'm soft and doughy to the touch no when you're touching my body do you think that it's not Do we? No.

I don't. But I don't know. Genetic defects impair collagen. Do I die from this? Is that the end of my story? I don't think so, but I think it's like definitely a chronic illness. Or can lead to something that could cause your death. But I don't think you have it bad if you have it.

Generally not fatal. Then who gives a shit? A lot of people probably. Okay. Sorry. Like Lena. Well. I guess it just depends how bad you have it.

It seems like there is definitely varying levels. What's wrong with her? Like Lena's pretty damn sick. I don't know. I haven't gotten to that part. Okay. Because I'm wondering like maybe I'm stronger than Lena. I don't think it's a matter of you being stronger.

I think it's a matter of like what, like it seems like it might be a spectrum. As is everything. Like because what isn't? Yeah. And you might just fall in a lower scale. And bruise easy. Do you bruise easy? No, if I fell off the scale, like I'm just like, oh,

no. Nice. Because of my situation. Because of my situation, my friction. And with that, that. We wish you all the best. Thanks for listening. I,

um, you know, I wish everybody the best, unless you're evil, then I hope you, uh, then I don't. Nice. We will see you later. I'm nailing that my, um, see ya.
