Just shit. A lot going on. I can't imagine being him and being like... He was locked up abroad only moments ago. And now he's like... Well, let me go into this studio with six cameras. Must be so confusing. He doesn't like any chew.

Oh, look at you, mister. Oh. Do you see yourself? Is that what you're looking at? You know how I'm always like, I think I could get an animal to talk to me? I think this is the one. I really do. Look at this face.

He can hear. He knows what I'm saying. Hey, Brooke. Hi, Connor. Are you ready to MAP? I'm ready to pee. ignorance is bliss i'm living in a world of my own and it's awesome oh i thought i was responsible for nine eleven when i was five where were you in pennsylvania touch grass might i suggest

i don't have anything introduce your friend hi guys uh i got a i got this is max he's like kind of relaxing now yeah um but i did pick him up recently from the pound and so he's like part of it's b and c and m m m ap it's it's b n c m squared Now, so this is Max. What kind of questions do you have for me about Max at this time? Okay. What happened? I got a text from somebody.

They said, urgent. We know that you don't have that much going on day to day. Can you go pick up this dog? Right. And I said, okay, I'll do it. And then they go, by the way, he's getting put down tomorrow or something. He was like urgent. Local?

Yeah. That is like absolutely insane that that really really. does happen. Like it's not even a myth. Yeah. Like dogs are put down every single day. I'm kind of nervous now that I say put down because they were just like urgently he needs to find home but that means like put down Yeah. Or else.

That's how I got all of my dogs growing up. They were about to be put down. Okay. Well then that was the case. Which is just like nuts that that is a thing. That was a case. So I went and picked him up and then as I got there, remember that thing that happened to me last time I was talking about I was thinking about like how long dogs live. Uh-huh. And I was thinking about like, oh, I'm like the sole care provider of this, like, other, this beast.

Yeah. And then I was like, oh, how old will I be if he lives to 15? And then I'm like, oh, I'm like about to retire. Right. Like at that age by the time that he passes on. No, Max will meet your kids. Yeah. Frankie could meet mine too.

I just got an eye twitch when you started talking about that. So then I was like, I handed my eyes. ID to the woman at the front and he goes okay cool I was like and it was it was like hmm do I want to say that yeah probably I don't think so okay it was just like I was like what do I need to do you need to like background check me or anything she goes no give me 20 bucks and I was like I can just give you $20 and for that dog and she was yeah I was like well I guess like if they're literally going to put it down like get it out of my damn side what's the point of even background checking someone which is also really sad. Yeah. I know. So sad. But it was a great shelter, Lancaster, animal shelter,

and they had so many people coming in and out and so many like volunteers and stuff. And so he was the only dog that I saw that was in a kennel with another dog. So like they were at buds. And then I couldn't. What was happening to the other bud? Got adopted. Oh, thank God. Yeah. Because I was about to go, my ass was about to pack back up and head back out. Because it was making me lose my sleep. Yeah. But he was so good. Actually, when I first, picked him up he's like I don't need to leave right they like walked him out and he was like trying to go back in and I was like why is you trying to go back in they're like he hasn't eaten today and because like shelters don't have any cash for food I said this guy is looking

snatched he needs to be volunteer yeah we do yeah everybody should yeah if you can handle it personally I'm thinking back to walking through the shelter and it was making me need to vomit my guts out and then the first dog I was like I need to pet all these dogs dogs on the way to see him. And the first one tried to eat my hand. So I continued walking. I didn't pet any other dogs, but that's okay. Took him home. He's like totally the best dog ever, like off leash even, because I think he's like so addicted

to this young man. Yeah, he is. Like he can't leave my damn side. And he needs to be in my bed every day at 5 a.m. So like my schedule's changed a lot. Does he sleep in your bed throughout the night? No, he switches from my bed to my couch. to check both sides of my windows on both sides.

Okay. Which is like when does he sleep? I guess during the day when I had time to run him outside. Right. So he's kind of like an nocturnal bug. Oh, an octurnal bug. Yeah. That's sweet.

Hell yeah. So he's now with us. I'll probably need to figure out sleeping schedule. He's also got the f-hmm. I can I say this. The fattest balls. They're like huge balls. So those will be gone.

soon and I think he'll chill out and maybe sleep through the night I think it'll change I'm sure a lot of people are you know dogs me yeah they get neutered because I think he's trying to like alpha me he's oh I'm like no I'm the alpha please let me be the alpha please I just need to get some damn sleep please I need he's alpha mode and then yesterday like on the beach at two him to the beach I sat and ran him and he ran he's so nice to other people that like he's sometimes I'm like did you forget about me just now in 13 seconds and so So he like ran up to these people having a picnic. And I was like, I'm so sorry.

And they're like, oh, no, just can you grab him? And I was like, oh, yeah, sure. And I ran over. His face couldn't see his head buried balls deep in their Chipotle bag. Oh. And they were like, he's fine, but can you get him away from us immediately? And I was like, yeah, for sure. Fully, don't even know how much Chipotle he ate.

But he was farting last night. I was going to say, how was the stomach? Fart City? Art City. Yeah. Like father like son. I know. Anyways, he's good.

We're going to get. He's such a good. He's pretty good. Can you believe he was just like locked up abroad last week and now he's... Do you know like where did the pound find him? No info this time? None. And he's microchipped to me now. How does the microchip work? Right. Stupid question.

Ask Elon. Not me. I don't even, I don't know. How do they get it in? You don't know. A pill? I don't know. No, it must be like... They injected? Turgically. How do you inject a chip? Yeah. via injection.

Oh, surgically. No, no, via injection feature. They just shoot it right in. I don't get it. I want a chip. No, you don't. Yeah, I do. I want a chip.

Who do you want tracking you? My emergency contact. Which changes depending on which festival I'm going to. That would be nice if you could program it like to change or like find my friend's vibes like turn it off. I wish I could show you. Yeah, like turn it off and on. I don't need people to track me 24.

But the thing is like you never. never know if it's really off. You just have a chip in your body. That's the thing about a microchip. Yeah. One thing we know about microchips is you just never know with those things. But I'd like to microchip my children. Why don't we do that?

I guess like it's like not legal. I think it should be. It's not consensual. It's not consensual. I didn't get chipped consensually. Yes. There's actually, I've seen episodes of things about that. It's giving alien.

production. Yeah. We chipped you. But I think like as far as safety is concerned for your children like maybe until they're like 18 and then they get the chip removed. Yeah and then they can everybody has a chip removing ceremony. Batsva and then instead of a your chip comes out your chip comes out while you're reading the Torah and then you become a woman or man or man yeah depending on what you are yeah very cool. Yeah. Did you know that? What do you do with the chip? It's a bar or bot mitzvah depending on if you're a girl or a boy.

Yeah, I knew that. You did? Okay. Cool. Yeah, I knew that. I was just trying to teach you something new. No, yeah. You're already ahead of the game.

I have three tangents we can go on, so pick what you want. Okay. Give me the options. Bugs. In general. Okay. Tracking in general. We already did tracking.

No, no, no, I could go on because you know what I got? What? Myself for my birthday. What? Air tags. I'm obsessed with my air tag. Okay. Yeah, those are cool.

Sometimes. Do you have one? No, just my wallet and my keys. He needs one. But I've been on time to everything recently because I have an air tag in my wallet and my my wallet and I figured out, I got to the bottom of it. I'm late because I put down my wallet and my keys somewhere in my room on my way out. And then I'll go back in to get my wallet or my keys and I'll put the other one down.

Today I found my keys on top of my car. You know what's cool? Why were they ever on there? I was using them to get in. But Connor, you just reminded me, I lost my air tag that was in my wallet. but now I'm like I can just find the air tag. You can track the air tag. Let me see where it is.

The beauty of the air tag is that that's what you're tracking. It's at my house. Wow. I'll never find it though. It plays the sound. It plays the song. I'm not going to be able to hear that. It's like this.

Like what's the point? It's like for woodland fairies. Like you're putting on a show for Woodland small pixie dust. It's useless. characters. Especially with these ears because I've told you that my ears, your ears go.

You can hear less frequencies as you age. That's what's happening to me. So I can barely hear my air tag. Damn. Scream for me. Let me say my name. Let's go. Are you okay?

Airtag, let me hear you. Roar! You're going to have like a house full of a bunch of air tags. And it's going to be your Edgar Allen post sound of a beating art. There should be settings on like the volume of the tag. Turn it up. Connect to my Bluetooth. Turn this shit up.

Can I get, can I get ox? I need to find my, my air tag. Anyways, I got two of those for my birthday. One's in my wallet. Yeah, great tangent. Okay. What's the next one? I would air tag genuinely my car too.

I would leave one of my car, which is funny because I heard like looking up air tags. I heard recently that like a lot of like crazy ex-boyfriend girlfriends. Air tag will put an air tag in your gas tank or something and then like they know where you are all Also like random people like in terms of like crime vibes. All the time. All the time. I get this is where it becomes blurry. Lines, blurred lines Robin Thick.

Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. But I get notifications all the time. This tag is following you and it's like. Yeah. It is scary. Padding myself.

Did I get chipped when I was like subconscious? Probably. Upconscious? It's probably in your car. No, it's on my purse because I'll be like solo walking through the mall and someone's tracking me. So someone slipped one in your purse. Someone slipped me a tag. Yeah.

Scary. Anyways, you want bugs or bat mitzvah next? We can do bat mitzvah, but then I obviously want to check in about like our New York trips and what we've been through since the last time we saw each other. Yeah. But do you want to do bat mitzvah's first? Yeah. Okay. I didn't know bottzvah.

and Barb Mitzvus had themes. You said... So you've never been to one. No, I don't... I guess where I grew up was very much like copy and paste people. But, like, I never got invited to one. I would have killed. Wow.

Damn, I wish we could go back in time and you could come to mine. You and I both. Yeah. I had... Mine was the first of my whole grade. Oh, okay. Because... And this is also why I didn't have a theme.

Because when I was in middle school, my mom decided that she was going to be religious. I didn't take part in that, but she'd kind of went on a solo venture there. And like in religious Judaism, you have your bat mitzvah if you're a girl when you're 12. Oh. And not 13. So I did mine, even though I'm the youngest in the grade, I had mine first because I did it when I was 12. Does that make sense?

No. Okay. Because everyone else was 13 when I was 12 because I'm young, but mine was still first because I did it when I was 12. as opposed to 13 when everyone else did it. But they would have already done it because they were 13, right? I guess I'm not that much younger than everyone. Okay, imagine I'm the same age as everyone.

And you're just keep first. Okay, that's fine. And everyone has 13. Okay, so I had mine first. Yeah. And because she was doing this whole religious thing, I also wasn't allowed to have a theme. So the theme was like,

the theme would take away from like the religious experience of it all, which I couldn't have given less of a crap about personally. but she didn't have a theme. And then she gave up on the religious thing pretty quickly. And so my sister's theme was YouTube. And I felt completely sick to my stomach at Herbopinzvah because I didn't get a theme. YouTube themed.

Yeah, hers was YouTube themed and I didn't get a theme because I had to be religious. The good thing about being religious, though, is I didn't have to read any Hebrew. Nice. Because that's also apparently a religious thing is the girls don't have to do that, whereas my sister did. Because she did a. Because she had the name? Because she had a regular bonnet. Well, it's a give and take.

Yeah, I wanted a theme. Why is men bar and women buy? I don't know. No? I think that's just like words in the heat. Oh, like, like, in Spanish, it's like Nina, Nino. Exactly. I think that's the kind of thing.

Okay. Cool. I mean, that answers that. My theme for my 13th birthday was slime. Okay. Just in general. I would have loved to have a slime theme bombets. Yeah, it was so fun.

There was slime everywhere. Oh, also can I show you the difference between me and my sister's outfits? Sure. At our, um... Yeah, I would love to see that. Bar Mitz was just so you get a sense of like what we were both working with in terms of what my mom let us do. Can you talk while I find those photos? Yeah, I'll talk about it.

So at my slime themed birthday party, we had a pool full of slime, like a children's swimming pool, and we did... We got slime. Keep going, actually. Because let me get both photos. I'm just like having an allergy attack. I really want to talk about bugs when you get a chance. No, do bugs while I cue these up. Oh, I really want you to contribute to the bug.

thing. Okay, so when I was, oh, it's about New York, so maybe I'll just move right towards New York. I got stung by a bug I've never seen in my life two weeks ago. I was, that's always scary. I was drunk as hell and I was, I got home and I brushed my teeth and I'm like sitting down to pee, which I needed to at that time because I was unable to aim correctly. And so I sat down and all of a sudden I felt someone stabbed me in the bottom of my foot with a knife, a dagger, and I lift my foot and there is a pulsing large bug. It's crawling away. And I ran into my friend's room. This is in New York. Connor, I would have free. No, I was about to, there's nothing you do either. I'm like, wake up, wake up, wake up, Jake, wake up. Sorry, not you. I got stung by a B or something.

and like I was like it was like 2.30 a.m. And it's like pitch black. And I'm like, he's like, where is he? Where is he's like grabbing my foot? He's like shining the light. He's like, I don't see a stinger. I'm like, I don't see a stinger. My foot just starts to swell up.

My foot was swollen for two and a half weeks, like swollen and itchy, which is sucks to be on the bottom of your foot. Did you like, are you sure it wasn't like poison? You might have needed to be sucked. Like the venom. I was telling him to do whatever you need to. Yeah. wink wink yeah suck the bottom of my foot Jake you could have sucked your own foot uh-uh I'm not that

flexible let me see if you tried harder you broke I couldn't have done it maybe maybe in my um like what happens when like a mom has to lift a car after kid right what's that adrenaline on called yeah adrenaline rush maybe in my adrenaline rush I could be a trapeze artist and suck the bottom of my foot at that time I couldn't actually if it came down to it and I was spit by that poisonous bug on my foot, would you suck the venom out of the foot? See, like, now I'm thinking about it, it's like, would you want to have that poison that's in your foot in your mouth? You spit it out.

Use mouthwash. I guess. I'm glad it happened to me on this trip because I don't think anyone else could have dealt with what I'm, Brooke, it's still, I'm going to just show you the bottom of my foot. Oh, wait. I thought you said you got sung by a bee. I thought it was a bee, but, like, the more I thought about it, the more I was like, that.

I don't know why I just touched your foot. That pulsing, that pulsing gray, like, I don't even know how to explain it. And then my friends were all like looking up bugs on Long Island that night in the woods. And it was the worst experience. Like to look up which poisonous bugs stung you and they are all from hell. It was like, oh, I can't do this. I'd rather just like lose my foot and not even know what stung me. What scare me is if the venom is going up into the rest of my body.

It did. It's swelled up onto my ankle, which is crazy. Yeah. It was crazy, y'all. And then I've been having nightmarvement. about bugs ever since. Oh, Connor, I'm sorry. And it's like spider season in California.

Have you noticed that? Maybe it is, right? No, and I wish you didn't tell me that. Okay, because I thought I made that up. But like, I'm having dreams about spiders. I think because it's so hot out, the spiders, like, come in your house or, like, try to get in your house because it's, like, AC or something.

So we've had, like, a couple spiders in, like, our downstairs, and I'm just, like, uncomfortable. I want to live in an insane asylum with all white walls. I can see everywhere in the room at all times. because not knowing there's a spider in your room is worse than knowing there's a spider right there. I can see it. That's a good way to put it.

At least I know it's there. At least I know it's there. But I keep having these dreams. And then yesterday I was walking him and I looked down at this tattoo and in my peripheral, I'm like, oh, it's just my tattoo. It's my black ink tattoo.

Right. Big old spider crawling on my leg. I'm just like living in hell. I can't wait for that. The best, you know what? What? Don't care about any other holidays. The best day of the year is when it gets cold as shit randomly one day and all the bugs just die. They die. They die. They die. How do they come back to love? If they all die, then how are they reborn? Unfortunately, I don't want to say this word, but eggs. Oh, I'm going to freak out. And they hatch. Oh, that's horrible. Yeah. Wow. Whoa, that's bad. No, I want to, I want to live in a. fumigation tent.

I don't care what it does to me. I'm moving in with you. Yeah. Mm-mm-mm. I hate bugs. Yeah. There's no redeeming qualities. They do some good things for soil.

When God calls all creation things, do you think spiders will be in the choir? I do. I hope not. Were they on Noah's Ark? There's probably so many spiders on Noah's Ark. Let me Google what bugs were on. What a foul boat? Hold on.

That probably was. What bugs? We're on. Spiders everywhere. mosquitoes, ticks. What insects were on the arc? Oh. Okay, I'm on answers at Genesis.com.

Oh, and so are we. Oh, yeah. Okay. So, bats, they're not bugs. No, bats aren't bugs at all. They're just flyers. They're mammals, actually. You know what, I can deal with ants.

I can deal with bees. Okay, flying creatures, but that's probably bats and birds. Okay, there are a lot of arguments against insects being taken on the All the animals taken into the ark are described as flesh. Very cool. Okay. Flesh like mammal? This flesh.

Uh-uh. I'm not doing this. No, don't dive into genesis.org. We see later in the flood account that all forms of life outside the ark that breathe through their nostrils perished. Insects and arachnids do not break through the noughts. not breathe through the nostrils. So we're not considered...

Do they have nostrils? We're not considered Nepeche-che-He living creatures that needed to be saved as obligate passengers on the ark. Okay. So how'd they get here? So explain that. I can't.

Well, I'll... There must have been some eggs on someone or on one of the flesh. Oh, now I feel like they're all over me. Anytime I see a spider, 72 hours it's still on me in my head. I haven't seen a spider in so long, but I have a feeling I'm about to. Oh, don't say that.

Well, you gave me no choice. You manifested. Anytime someone's like, I'm so alone, there's probably a spider two feet away from you somewhere. Okay, let's move on, just due to me feeling sick. I'm itchy everywhere on my body now. Are you also itchy? Yeah, and you know what? I feel bad for the people listening because I bet they're itching and squirming.

Every time we do an episode, I'm like, something we say is going to make someone get in a car wreck. Uh-huh. Didn't someone already? Yes. Okay. They did. Thanks for writing in, by the way. I'm not going to manifest that. No. No one is ever going to get in another car way.

I'm going to head back to the bat mitzvah tangent really quick, just because I feel like I'm still actually holding onto a lot of resentment from my childhood. But this is what I had to wear to my bat mitzvah. Yeah. Okay? And granted, I did look different at my sister at this time due to like puberty, completely doing something to me that I've never seen it do to someone else, which is cool. Yeah. But this was me at my bat mitzvah in this two-piece suit.

Okay? And I had no choice but to wear the two-piece suit. Okay? Wait, I want to see it. Mm-hmm. It's not funny. I promise you, it is. This smile, too, is pretty funny in the two-piece suit.

This one? I also love hands and complete fists. Okay? With a hair tie. Now, here's my sister at Herbat mitzvah. Like, I'm actually, like, not healed from this. Okay, we're doing complete ball gown. Okay?

Let me see. Stunning. Do you see why, like, why I'm holding on to this, like, anger and resentment? Yeah. Well, I'll tell you. Because my mom completely changed her personality. I'll tell you how it happens. Because from the first child to the third or last child, something shifts.

And it's called, I don't really give a shit anymore. It wasn't even that. It was just like, oh, I'm religious for the months that are Brooks, Bat mitzvah. And then I completely changed my mind. You can do whatever you want. It's just like all it's just like timing never was on my side. In like a similar way, I was always grounded for things. And by the time my sister was the age that I was getting grounded for those things, my parents did not care.

So I feel like it might be related in that sense as well. But again, I don't know. I didn't have a bat mitzvah. Right. So I don't know. Like so many politics that go into it. You know, I don't think I've ever had a themed anything. I always used to love my cakes.

They were so delicate. And intricate is what I meant, not delicate. They had like, because our neighbor was a cake maker. Oh my God. And she would do a full scene. So we had Sandy. We had like, I don't remember, I always wanted the sand piece. I guess one of my other themes was Beach.

Oh, Beach. Ken birthday. That makes sense for you. But the sand on the cake, the edible sand was really good. My birthday cake every single year was, what? Did he fart? Yeah. Oh, and there's a mosquito biting me.

Like, we manifested that. It's been flying around when I said I was itchy. At least, I'm wearing pants. Brooke. No, I don't. It's right. It landed underneath the table. I'm not even going to look at it.

I'm not giving it. No, if you give it the, you're giving it the power. I'm not giving it the power. I'm not even acknowledging it. Well, it didn't bite your ankle three times. Because I'm wearing pants. Your ankles. I had the foresight.

Oh, you do have the foresight. What was I saying? Cake. Oh, my cake every year. Yeah. Have you ever had a turtle pie from Baskin-Robbins? Like, the most underrated dessert in the entire world. I don't think they still make them.

It's a layer of, like, cookie crumble crust because it's like a pie. So it's more of like an Oreo crust, I guess. Then it's ice cream and then it's like pecans. Damn. And then it's like caramel. And then it's like hot fudge. That's what you did for your birthday? cake? Every year.

That's like the most random. It's unbeatable. A Baskin Suril pie. I got to try it. Yeah. I don't know if they still make them though. I wouldn't even know how to find Abaskin Robbins. Are they still in business? I don't know. Can we look that up? Speaking of cake though.

Dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot. Oh, I was like, am I supposed to know what to say? I was like, speaking of cake, and you were quiet and I was like, oh, yes, speaking of cake. Speaking of cake. Oh, I see. Someone just had a birthday.

Oh, thank you. Yay. Oh, you guys. For those audio listeners, there's a cake for our food, Connor. Oh, my God. Connor, read what it says. Never forget. Happy birthday, fibs.

That's so good. And we won't ever forget. That's so good. So do you want us to sing to you? No. I can. Okay. Do it in Hebrew.

I can do that. Okay. Yomalada. Samaia. And I'll leave it at that. That's good. I'll blow out. Make a wish, though.

And then tell us what you wish for. He's still thinking. Go ahead and make a wish for us now. Oh, okay, Connor. What'd you wish for? I can't tell you. It won't come true. In this space, it will.

I subscribe to the notion that birthday wishes are for oneself. Oh. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. You're interesting because, like, I don't know what you wish for. whereas you would probably be able to guess what I wish for right away. What would you wish for if it was your birthday today? I can't say. You can't because it's not.

No, I can't say. It's not the case. Well, I probably wish for it this past birthday. Oh, then yeah. That's a good call. You know? Do you want to eat it? Yeah, I'm scared for him to wake up and realize that we're eating.

Well, maybe when we go to bonus. Yeah, when we go to bonus. I want everyone to see the cake, though. It does. Ooh, and it's dense. I love, sorry, I'm gonna, it's a dense, moist cake. Do you like a dense moist or an airy fluffy? Dense moist.

Me too. It's amazing. Audio only, I'm holding it towards a camera. Just watch on YouTube already. Yeah. And go subscribe while you're at it. And subscribe, please. Ooh, how was that?

That's good frosting too. Thank you guys. Happy birthday, King. Oh, thank you guys. Thank you guys. Okay. So I want to before we even move on for my birthday, just want to tell you about my birthday goals. They're very simple goals.

I set really attainable goals this year so that I wouldn't be like, learn a new language. It was put your clothes away when you stay in a hotel more than two nights and watch all of Sopranos. Sopranos. That's a good goal. Thanks. I haven't started that one yet. But I don't see you liking it. I just feel like I'm missing out on a lot of relevant conversation because of

I've never seen it. Okay. I don't even know what it is. I don't even know who's in it. Like mafia. Cool. Yeah. That's awesome.

What's the difference between the mob and the mafia? Oh, I don't know. Is there a difference? I don't know. Mafia seems Italian, but so does mob. Yeah, they both do. I guess let's chalk it up to. DSDF.

Ooh. Let's chalk it up to the Italians. Chalk it up to Olive Garden. Okay, sure. Chalk it up to unlimited breadsticks. Should we look it up, though, just so that we can provide a learning moment for the audience? I think so. That's what our podcast is all about.

The American mafia commonly referred to in North America as the Italian American mafia or the mafia or the mob. It's the same. Mob equals large crowd of people, especially one that is disorderly. Wait. Mafia equals a type of organized crime. But does the mob have to be Italian? Is that the difference? No, I think that they were both Italian.

Are there any non-Italian mafias or mobs? Ooh, what are they? What are they? Russian. Oh, the Russian mafia. Right. Okay. Irish.

They don't seem that dangerous. They're probably like, like, drunk all their phone. Oh, my God. I wouldn't say. I don't, I can, I think we can. There's a Jewish mafia? What are they like? Can we look up the Jewish mafia?

The kosher mob? The kosher mob? The kosher mob? Oh my God. This whole time I had no idea. Wow. Who was... Okay. Jewish American organized crime initially emerged within the American Jewish community.

That makes sense. During the late 19th and 20th centuries. Okay. What did they do? Oh my God. Look, you can talk about what they did. Check this out. The...

Oh, wait. The last... Blah, blah, blah. The former... Blah, blah. I love all the names of people in mafias. Bugsy. Oh, my God.

Get this. Monk Eastman. who himself was most likely not Jewish despite being in the Jewish mafia operated a powerful Jewish gang that competed with the Italian and Irish gangs for control of New York City's underworld where's the underworld?

See like it's just underneath the world I saw someone come out of a sewer dead fucking seriously when I was in New York like literally came out and just like went to work. Yeah I think it's pretty much operating as normal under there. It's a society There's a society underneath the ground

Oh my god The largely Jewish American and Italian American gang So combo platter gang Which was known as Murder Inc. Oh my God Not very subtle Hey what do you guys I will say they always say Jews and Italians

Are cut from the same cloth Yeah Yeah So maybe this is kind of where it goes back to Murder Inc incorporated LLC They loved they loved murdering. Damn.

Wow. Kosher mob, I like the sound of that. That'd be a great deli. It would. Kosher mob. It would. Awesome. Free idea.

Nothing like going back home into New York to realize, to make you realize, there are no good delis here in Los Angeles. I begged a different. No, I'm telling you. I mean, I don't know if you saw that sandwich I got at Fico's in the West Village in New York. I just said here. There's no good delis here in Los Angeles.

I'm just bringing you. you just said is where the good delis are. I just don't, have you looked for a good deli here? Yes, Connor. Uh, yeah. Have I looked for a good deli? Yeah.

I have. Okay. And they're fine. Yeah. They're not New York slash Philly delis. There's, there's like a little Jewish area of L.A. I know.

Go, like, walk through it and see. I don't really want to. Well, they're probably a really good deli there. I don't think, like that seems like a religious area. And the, like, good delis are like, not really like religious but more like cultural maybe you'll get an answer sound off in the

comments if you live in ala and there's really good deli that brook hasn't heard of okay so true but like not what's that one that we live we live or i live near like canters which is the most famous one it's not good no offense and then there's another one near me that's better daughter's deli but it's like not it's not it's not new it's not north east you got a hair in my girl you okay no here have some of your Harry Potter water. Oh my God, it's empty. Let me refill you. Thank you. Fill up my cup. Another glass drank. Mazel to. That is like an awesome song. Crazy that that's real. It is. Oh my God. I would have killed to see you tearing up the dance board of that song at Bat Mitzvus. Because that was our era. What song is that?

I got a feeling. Wow. Yeah. You know, I couldn't play that unless, and I used to knock on wood when that would play and I couldn't change a song because I was so OCD. that I was like, I can't like let this be a bad night. If you have a feeling it's going to be a good night, Black I'd be. I think you've said this before. I'm going to knock on wood because I like can't risk it. Yeah. Because what if it's a bad night? Right.

All because of me. Totally. Shoot. Okay. So my goals. One was to watch the sopranos, which. Cosher mob. Sounds awesome.

Murdering. I haven't started that. Second was to put up my clothes when I travel and I stay somewhere for more than two days. Put my clothes away. So I'm not like living on my. Shoecase. Life hack. Put your clothes away when you travel so you can like put so down. So I did that when we went to the Hamptons. When I left the Hamptons, I was like, wow, I packed so much better on my way out than when I got here. I zipped up. I'm usually, thank you for Barry and Lillie. I usually, I usually have to wrestle my suitcase down like Steve Irwin. Hold that thought and like zip it and it's going to bust. and I'm thinking like, oh, I'm going to have to DM away and be like, I don't know what happened to my suitcase.

It just shattered. And not this time. I was leaving and I was like, oh, this is great. This is awesome. Like, I don't know how I packed better. Got home. Half my clothes were hanging. Half were in the dresser.

Left everything in the dresser. Didn't think to open the drawer on my way out. Were you able to get them back or? Oh, hell no. Okay. No. So when I got back to New York and was there for another five days, I had to go to shopping each day. Fun excuse to go shopping.

I know, but it's like less fun out of necessity Yeah, totally And like recycling Yeah And being like It was also 117 degrees the whole week Yeah Can I circle back to Steve Irwin?

Mm-hmm I wrote this on our notes app This week I just wrote to see Irwin Because Can you just believe it? No, I can't Like I can't believe that he existed

And then died in that way And then we're just going about our day-to-day lives Not honoring him Everything we do. What do you do every day to honor Steve Irwin? I see crikey every single day. Do you? I've never heard you say it.

There's somebody. Never heard you say it in three years. Some, like I said it this morning when I got my coffee. Okay. It was so hot. It's a crikey. You should not make this coffee so hot, y'all. I just like can't believe it.

I know. I can't believe we have so many conspiracy theorists out in the world and no one's talking about how a stingray to the heart. Steve Irwin got stabbed by a stingray. That's convenient. You know the worst part? I was obviously Wikipedia diving for maybe 16 hours. He literally was talking after it happened.

No, he would have been fine. In the same way when you run over a nail in your car tire. Oh, he took it out. You don't want to take it out of the tire because it will deflate. You leave it in and call, I don't know, call someone. But him, he took it out and he bled out. But he should have left it in, I think. I don't know.

You can't live with a stingray. Stingering. your heart, I'm sure. Was it venomous? Bring up the, bring out the dance and lobsters. Bring out the dancing lobsters. We need to do a deep dive live. Stingrays contain venom and spines looking at the back of their tail.

Can we look up specifically the stingray that stung Steve Irwin in the heart? Did they kill it? I hope so, to be honest. Although, is it his fault? Yeah. Well, I guess technically Steve was in his home, in Stingray's home or her. Or Stingray's girls? Can they be?

I don't know. Okay. We're stingrays on the ark. Oh, I said it is birthed sphinery. On September 4th, 2006, while filming a documentary in Great Barrier Reef, a month after a tragic event. Ooh. A month after the tragic event in October 2006, 10 stingrays were found dead and mutilated on Queensland beaches, fueling speculation and mystery.

Why is no one talking about that? I just want to say, 10 seems like not that many. But do you think they were murdered in revenge? Yes, 100%. Think about what happened. Think about what would happen if like, I don't know, a Labradoodle attacked and killed, sorry, bad example. Harry Stiles.

A pigeon attacked and killed Harry Stile. That's what I was going to say. Then they all be dead. There'd be dead pigeons ever, skew. There'd be dead. Everywhere you step, there would be a dead pigeon. There's pigeons everywhere. But aren't stingrays a little bit more endangered than pigeons?

like pigeons it's like okay i don't know are shorts here teembaugh probably okay are they gonna be okay yeah it sounds like decidus berivacude are endangered if i've ever heard of it oh look who can suddenly pronounce the hardest word in the ever Connor i did not pronounce that right bear vacude yeah that seems oh i didn't know you knew how to pronounce it i do because you said it oh i mean that looks like a dangerous beast i probably wouldn't have gotten close to that's massive that's not a stingray no that's a short-tailed stingray can you google if they can you google if they can be girls? Brooke of course.

I mean, yeah. Or is it like, are they agendered? Or sexed? Can, yes. Be girls.

During the mating, the male and the female. Yeah. Okay. Cool. Damn. Are stingrays friendly to humans? No.

Wow. Someone born in 2002. They're not aggressive. They're not aggressive. I do. Okay. Can we look up more specifically what happened to Steve? I don't think they're poisonous.

I think it was a bar. You think it was the, I think it was a barb and it punctured his heart and then he bled out. Because he took it out. Yeah, because he took it out. I think he bled out. Wow, there's so much mystery. Okay.

Oh my God, that is so scary that it was. Irwin's death is the only fatality from a stingray captured on video. Convenient. Although it has not been released to the public and is one of the few human deaths from stingrays. Okay. While swimming in the water, he approached the stingray. He initially believed he had only punctured. Oh, and then it punctured.

He initially believed he had only punctured a lunger. the Stingray's bar pierce his heart causing him to bleed the death. I don't think he took it out, did he? Because, oh, it's so scary and sad. Yeah. It's just like, I don't even remember that happening. You think you would remember. I do.

Like, that's, like, as prominent to me as 9-11. Like, I would think, I would think I remembered that, but I don't know. Look at everybody. They're in Chambles. Yeah. He was, like, a president to the Australians, too. I think. Yeah, I don't know.

But, yeah. in distress? I'd say so. We don't have someone that... We don't have an American. Like if... Oh, I guess he's not American. But if Bear Grills died, I'd be like... Who's that? Yeah, he just ate a bat raw.

Of course he died. Yeah, he's scaling a waterfall. Of course he died. See, Verwin? Nah. No. He... And he really spoke to the animals in a way that no one else has.

I was saying earlier that this is the dog that's going to end up talking to me. Oh, you think? Yeah. What makes you say? There's some there's a person inside his body I saw it in the eyes Yeah yeah human eyes

Ocean eyes Oh gosh Real eyes realize realize Yeah Okay So today guys we've covered so far Bugs Air tags

Bat Mitzvus and Steve Irwin And There was one other thing Jewish mafia Murdering so The kosher mob So just like just so everyone's aware They're out there and they are

delicious okay how have you been since I last saw you I don't even remember the last time I saw you the podcast two weeks ago yeah good

I don't think I've done that much you were in New York I was in New York that whole time went to the Hamptons it was super fun went back to try to do it turns out fashion week

I don't really understand what it is and I was like oh I'm gonna be here because I went on the morning toast New York which was awesome on that Thursday

So I had to fill up meetings and stuff. I've got the show in New York, November 11th. That's a Chelsea City music hall. Sorry, I've been saying the wrong venue on here for two weeks. Chelsea Music Hall. And tickets are live right now, but I'll post about it. But I like had meetings for that. And then I had a couple of random things.

But I was like, I'm going to see if I can get on the list of any of these fashion things. I did. I got to see the strokes at the J-Crew event. That's really cool. that was star studded I was really shocked that I got to get in there but that was awesome

and then went to Vogue so two things I shouldn't have been invited to those are two big things yeah and then I went to the US Open a finis now it is like I said 115 degrees

I don't we talked about this on the morning toast but like you know people in Arizona are like oh it's only like 94 degrees there like you would die in Arizona it's like that's why we don't live in Arizona right

Because we would die. And I don't have an interest in living in Arizona. No, it's horrible. No offense. So I didn't know how to dress to go to the U.S. Open. I wanted to look kind of classy. How can you look classy when you're also having heat stroke symptoms? And I'm soaking wet.

And I'm soaking wet. And I sweat so much more than the normal person I figured out. No, you don't. Brooke, yeah, I do. Okay. I'm looking at these people, hot, hot, hot people. Not even. Hot, like hot or hot? sexy and they don't even have a drop of sweat it appears i am i look like i someone dumped a bucket of

a ls ice bucket challenge on me i am drenched brook i start the more i'm thinking about how hot i am and then someone tells me that someone had a heat stroke yesterday the more i convinced myself i'm about to have a heat stroke i found someone that worked at the u.s open of tennis venue and i said can you find me some scissors sir i went in the bathroom i cut the legs off my leave eyes now i'm at the US open in jeans shorts. They're frayed across the bottoms. Like it looks like it was just bad. I was like I thought I was going to have a seizure so I would like cut my pants into shorts in

the bathroom. And then I didn't know what to do with the legs because the towel. I was too hot for sleeves. Brooke I was wearing a short sleeve shirt. So then I'm like I can't because the towel return for the napkins in there was not a trash can. It was like we're going to wash these and like reuse them. So I couldn't put my denim jeans.

legs in there. So I just sneak out into like the open and toss my, the pants of my legs into a trash can. Well, you looked cute from your photo. Glanks. And now back to real life. Yeah. Back to reality.

Welcome back. Thanks. That's it. I mean, that's really it. Okay. Yeah. That's great. Yeah.

How about you? How was it for you? I had the best. greatest time. Yeah, it seemed like it ever. Yeah. Which is shocking because I went with my friend Alexa, but when I did all the stuff that I was really excited to do, I did it alone, which like, it's not something that I do. And I had like the best time and it was also just like super rewarding because it's like, oh, I can do that. Yeah. But basically we stayed at a hotel that I paid full price for despite trying my best efforts. And, you know, the reason I was going was to see the last

performance of Funny Girl. Yes. So the day came. And as we were discussing on the podcast a few weeks ago, I was shocked at how cheap my ticket was. Yeah. It was like $200, which is like very cheap compared to the other $600 ones. There's $600. There were like $500 to $600. That's like Taylor Swift tickets. I mean, it was like the last performance. Okay. Um, some were four. But I was just like, I'll get the 200 one. Like there is nothing, there is literally nothing different about this $200 ticket and the one next to it that is $400. Okay, got the $200 one. No sirens going off.

No sirens going off, completely able to purchase it on the website with no additional prompts. Whatever. I get to the venue, the theater venue. And it was M17. So I get to row M. I'm seeing row. I'm seeing C. M 15, 16, that's the end of the row.

I say, okay, no worries. It'll be behind us. We're seeing N1, N2, and three, okay, look in front of us. Okay, what's before M. Oh, I'm seeing O1, 02. Wait, L. So I ask the usher, and I say, where is seat M17, by the way? And he just looks at me and he goes, I'm so sorry.

You should not have been allowed to buy that seat. It's not a seat. it's an empty space that you could roll a wheelchair into but it is not a seat so there I was standing in the empty crevice of M17 so I was like okay so what do I do by the way

and he was like have a wheelchair on site that I could I didn't have a wheelchair on my person no I think yeah I was like what if you're in crutches just standing there for the whole show right so I was like what do I do and they were like we're just going to have you stand in this room and we're going to figure out like what we can do to accommodate you. Yeah.

So at this point I'm like almost in tears because I'm just like I have to see I have to see the show like or unfortunately I will die. Yeah. So I'm in a room with people who also require additional assistance to access their seats. So it's just us for a while. Were they looking at you like this bitch? I think they were wondering why I was in the room because. I was standing. So I love it.

You should have been like, oh my God, a miracle. So. What? Eventually the guy comes back and is like, okay, these are the seats we can offer you. Yeah. Since M17 doesn't exist. And by the grace of God, it was further back. It was S1, but S1 was actually a better view than M17 because it was like in the aisle,

nothing in front of me. Okay. Whereas M17. would have been obstructed by people's heads. So I could see like clear view to the stage. Nice, by the way. Like how could that have ever happened? Which was awesome.

And in that moment, because I had such a clear view, I was also able to see my friend Jonathan Groff at that time. So I like started to break out no sweat. I'm like, I'm not going to say anything. Like he was being swarmed. And at this point, I had decided to redeem my free cocktail that I had been granted due to the trust. that I had gone through the trials and tribulations, just, you know, to make everything right.

So I got my free cocktail and I was sipping on that during all of Act 1, but I also couldn't help but feel Jonathan's presence, like, the whole time, like completely hairs on my arm all standing up and he was wearing these gorgeous glasses and he was sitting next to Leah's mom. Good. And I was just like a little bit on edge, but I also was completely locked into Act 1, which was one of the best things I've ever seen in my life. Leah is Connor, she's not, she's AI It felt like there was an iPod in her throat And the music was coming out of the iPod That was located in her throat Because it didn't sound like a human

Could make those notes those noises And hit those notes it sounded like a computer generated Sound So after the act one I I had ingested all of my cocktail Yeah And I was actually feeling like a little bit brave Yeah

Because of my vodka soda with a spritz of lime. Liquid courage. Yeah, liquid courage. So I was like, you know what? Like, I'm doing it. Yeah. So there was a line like fully like throughout the entire aisle like and back towards like the concession stand. And he was like in the front of the theater.

So it was like maybe there was a mile to meet him. Because it's kind of like at your comedy show when people were also like high brook. Yeah. It was like that kind of thing. Like if you go to a show with. That makes sense. With Leah in it, you're going to freak out about that. You called that before you went.

You were like, he's going to be there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, so I had gotten myself in line. And at this point, I'm like talking to everyone, like, out of nerves and shaking as well.

And I got so lucky that a lot of people there were familiar with the pod. Oh, good. So they were able to let me go. They let me go in front of them. Oh, good. Which was really sweet. Wow. That's awesome.

Yeah. That's awesome. Yeah. And I want to, and I want to thank them all. They were so sweet. And then this older gentleman. I'm getting closer and closer to Jonathan. I can see him in his gorgeous glasses

and his curls were just perfectly done. And this old gentleman was like watching me panic and he was like, you know what, honey, we're going to get you closer to the front. We're going to say your family. And he's like walking me in the front. He's like, she's family. She's family.

And then I look at him and I was like, do you know Jonathan? No. He didn't. He was just letting everyone know out of the goodness of his heart. And I was like, you know what? I'm fine.

I'm going to take it from here because he was actually starting to make me a little nervous. Yeah. But thanks to him as well for that. Life hack. Life hack. Life hack. Get an old,

crazy man to put his body on the land. He was leading me through. How many people did you skip to get closer? Maybe like 150. I had to. Your hands are tied. I literally did. I like had so many.

Your tubes were tied at that moment. I had some services at my disposal. I had that man. I had these nice fans. And then finally I'm so close to him. I can literally smell him. And then Leah's mom comes and is like, right at me is like, I'm so sorry you guys. Like I'm going to have to cut this off because the poor guy was like completely exhausted.

Exusted. And I looked at Leah's mom and I was like, you know what? Like, it's fine. Like I'm too nervous anyway. And she goes, no, you're meeting him. Leah's mom said that to you? Leah's mom was like not like everyone needs to go, but not you, you stay. And I'd like to think she saw a little bit of her daughter in me.

No, she probably saw identical her daughter in you. Like I really, like she really seemed to, there's, like, was some sort of connection between me and... Maybe she's a listener. And Mrs. Michelle. No, she wasn't. Oh. You could just tell, but, like, I just, there was a connection between me and her. And she kind of just, like, stood next to me as I went ahead and introduced myself.

And here are the things that I say. Well, as a previously disabled woman earlier in the night, that was really, that was really nice of her to do that. I had a lot of one-on-one aids throughout this experience. I had the old man. I had her. Okay. I wrote down immediately once I got back to my seat.

Things I said to Jonathan. Good for you for keeping a list. I love lists. Yeah. Okay. Got up to him. I said, sorry, you must be completely drained. He said, I'm okay.

And then I said, I just have to tell you. Stared at him in complete silence for about. I was probably like 10 seconds, but it feels like forever. 10 seconds is forever. 10 seconds is forever when you say, I just have to tell you and then start staring at someone not saying anything.

I'd be scared. Then I said, I love the Spring Awakening soundtrack. He said thanks. He's so sweet though. He's being so sweet. And then every time he said thanks, I was just like, let me say something else. Whereas in reality, I should have just went on my way.

Okay. Then I said, I would not be here today. Yeah. Okay? Without your cover of Bohemian Rhapsody. That would have been enough. Just that. It would have been good.

He said, thank you. And I said, also your cover of Lionel Richie's hello. Yeah. And he said, thank you. and then I said do you mind if I take a picture with you? Which is yeah. And then he said, that's fine. And then I took about 16 completely blurry ones.

And I said, sorry, those blurred out. I'll just take some more. And he said, that's fine. And then I don't really remember anything he said or anything about him. I just remember that he is so sweet and the love of my life. And just like, I could not have been happier in that moment. And then I went back to my seat and sat in complete time. islands for the 15-minute intermission and didn't barely move.

No one is talking about his tasteful stubble. No one's talking about. That's my friend Natalie. No one's talking about his tasteful stubble. The glasses are incredible. Love his hair. It's perfect length. And I just adore him and Leah's mom.

I just had really the best experience at Funny Girl. And I'd like to thank everyone at the theater for accommodating me in C-S-1. And for the free cocktail, I also could have gotten a free shirt. But the Usher wanted to take me to get a free shirt during this moment. And I had other plans. to meet Jonathan. I think that this was so I didn't get the free show.

This was well worth your time. But yeah, it was also the best show I've ever seen and she is like a force and... Not to make this about me, but top comment. Would you say?

1,200 likes on my comment? Well, yeah. Manifestation space much. It was. It was. Well, not, I mean, he was... Brooke. If you know anything, you know he's gonna be there.

You know anything. No, no, no, from start to finish. Seet that didn't... Seet wasn't there. You moved to the aisle. You have a direct line sight from him, people that listen to the podcast there that allowed you to skip. Crazy old man, which is probably God.

I think he was. He literally was Mr. Bean from what all those movies. I literally can't think of who else that would have been besides God. And then you're there. And then Lee Michelle's mom, who I assume God, osmosis into. I agree. To see you and say, come on do it. And then he was just a nice guy.

Come on. That's like. No, you know what that. There's a lot of factors at play there. He could have had us. He could have said, I'm about to shit my pants and needed to leave right there. like right before you got there. Do you know what the biggest factor is?

Thank God M17 did not exist. Otherwise, I would not have gotten my drink for my troubles and gotten the carriage. See, like there's a lot of, you know what that is? God was in the theater. God is in the room with us right now.

Because that's the butterfly effect and that was, oh, that's Nelson Mandela. That's the Nelson Mandela effect. Wait. That's the Mandela effect. Mandela, okay, I got to mix up. Butterfly effect.

I don't remember what I was going to say how that related it at all but that was a butterfly effect yeah it was nuts that's awesome but so in summary that was better than my

interaction with Matthew Greg Goebbler which has actually been keeping me up at night recently no due to that being so bad but this wasn't like this isn't like my this isn't what I'm going for so I'm still learning and what would you do better

about that interaction just stop talking earlier on no I think you nailed it honestly it was I wasn't, the staring for 10 seconds was hard, and I just, like, kept going. I think I need to think of, I think of one solid, really good niche thing that I love that they've done. Leave it at that. Your cover of Bohemian Rhapsody chain, like.

That wasn't even, like, I don't know why I even said that. I like, wasn't like one of his, his, like, main contributions, although it is remarkable. I'll say that. I thought it's good. I mean, I can't really think of anything. I think you nailed it at only having the one. cocktail. Imagine if you would have had three. I know. Can you imagine? No, you would have been body bagged out of there. You would have been wheelchered out of there. I know. I would be back in M17.

Back in M17, rightfully so. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, I'm only getting better. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. I also don't know, like, if you realize this would be like me in two years meeting Andrew Garfield. Like he was the biggest crush I've ever had in my life. Jonathan. ever. Yeah, of course. Yeah. So. That tracks.

Oh, Jonathan. I miss him. I love him. And I could look at that forever. Let's frame it. Let's frame it and put it on our cat. We should. We should have it here.

Do you have any questions for me? No, I think you nailed it. And also storyteller much? Was that a good story? Yeah, start to finish. Not a dull moment. Oh, my God. And we were on the edge of our seat.

I didn't know you were in the room back there. Oh, you didn't know. I was in the room where it happened? I didn't know about Mr. Bean. No, that was good. Oh, Mr. Bean, yeah. I loved him, even though he said, yeah, I loved him. Yeah.

I also saw Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Yes. Which, did you know there's an eighth Harry Potter story that's written by J.K. Rowland? I didn't know there were seven Harry Potter. Okay, there's seven. And then recently, like when I was in college, Jake Rowling wrote Harry Potter and the Curst Child as a play. So it's like you buy it.

There's no book? It's a book, but it's a play. And you know how plays are also in book form? And you just read it in the form of a play, like dialogue? Like stage right? Yeah, like that's what you would be reading. What? It's just like lines.

You're reading it in the form of like dialogue not as like a story. Oh. Does that make sense? You're reading. And like stage direction like, okay. So that's what she came out with and then it became a play Harry Potter and the Curse Child. So good.

I read the book, but I forgot everything that I read the play, but forgot everything that happened. So Connor, the dementors come out into the stage. Are they flying? They're flying. They're like you can feel. them. Are they over you? They're over you.

They're coming near you. And how nice not to have to read that? You can just watch. Yeah, you could. I would, maybe, I don't know if you'd like it, but still, really cool. I like Harry Potter. Yeah. But you know what's kind of like the only criticism I have?

So the eighth story, Harry Potter and the Christchal is about like Harry and Ron and Hermione's kids going to Hogwarts. But Harry and Ron and Hermione are in it as adults. but it's like it's not aligned with the way that I feel like they would have been as adults like it's like that's not Harry

Harry wouldn't have said that That's not my Harry That's not my Harry Well Daniel Radcliffe has changed a lot As well I don't know if you've seen his Wolverine body Recently Do you know what Daniel Radclis is like shredded

He has zero percent body fat And it's like a gigantic man He looks like liver king right now Wait pull him up He's in a play right now It's opening on the second 17th or the 19th, I forget, called Merrily We Roll Along, him and Jonathan Groff. But you didn't see that coming.

No, I didn't. Of course. Oh, right there. The bottom left picture, that's the one that I was thinking of. Because he's in like, he looks like Sparta right now. Oh, he's doing Sparta right now. Yeah. Wow, I didn't know.

Yeah. Like, that's, that's alarming because that's not a Harry Potter that I've, that's not my Harry Potter. It's not my Harry Potter. It's hard to look at. That's my Dementor, maybe. Oh my God, I can't. You would freak at the Dementors.

Really? Yeah. Spooky. Anything else from the trip? Yeah. I put it in our notes. But I could just say it in bonus because they're not as good stories.

You know what I mean? Should we go to Bones? We can go to Bonesone. I'll take it in Bonesone. I'll take one more shameless plug if I can have it. Oh yeah, wait, I have two things really quick that I want to say. First thing is how often do you feel like you think about the Roman Empire? I just asked this question to my friends.

Did you really? How often do you think about it? I just said he reminds me of Sparta, so that's one time today so far. So you would say never. Oh, you would say never? No. Okay. I think about like the era of the Boston Tea Party a lot because I think that that seemed like a really fun event.

Oh, okay. You're more of a Boston Tea Party. party guy. There's a trend on TikTok where it's girls asking guys how often they think about the Roman Empire and every single guy says at least once a day. That's not true. Okay, you're breaking

barriers. Gender norm. Okay, men in the room. How often do you guys think of the Roman Empire? Zero. We've got a zero. We've got a zero over here. Okay, we have a once every couple weeks. Okay. Never would that cross my mind. I don't really get it

either, but it is pretty unanimous. all of the guys are saying they think about it very often Larry David thinks about the Roman Emperor. Oh, do you see my shirt? Oh, I love that. Taylor Swift and Larry David on a tee. I got a boyfriend. He's older than us.

You could say that. That's gorgeous. That's gorgeous. I wonder if Larry has any recommendations for a good deli. I bet he does. Yeah, I bet he does. But he's a New York King, so. But he also wouldn't tell you about it, I feel like.

You think he's a gatekeeper? Yeah. 100%. Okay. You said you had two things. Oh. Yeah, the other thing is, I just want to let you know in terms of life hacks and ice. I saw someone eating fruit loops with milk.

Once all the fruit loops were gone, they took the fruit loops milk, made ice cubes of the fruit loops milk, put back in their cereal the next day. Mimi does that. Hank's girlfriend, Mimi. Wow. Yeah. Brilliant. Brilliant. It's the same concept.

There's also people doing that with overnight oats. doing taking the milk from their cereal using that with the oats and then the oats tastes like cinnamon toast crunch or what have you or in my in my world applewood smoked sausage milk

put that in my overnight oats and then they taste like sausage okay last question for you yeah hit me how do you pronounce the word and I'm going to spell the word out for you yeah so actually listen very closely Big stretch. He passed out. He's P-T-F-O vibes.

He's such a good boy. Okay, ready? How do you pronounce the word? I-R-R-E-V-O-C-A-B-L-E? Irrevocable. Damn. How would you say it? The Twilight girl say irrevocable.

Oh, that's... Because that's how she pronounces it in Twilight. So all people who like Twilight will say irrevocable, but it's pronounced irrevocable. So you're saying it right, but I would always say irrevocable. I know some people who say comparable or comparable. I guess that I say comparable. No, you don't. I swear on my life.

How is that comparable? How's that comparable? Oh, I don't know, I guess. But it's like science that Twilight people say irrevocable and non-Twilight people say irrevocable. Things stay with you. My camp that I went to every summer was called incomparable Camp Ozark. So that's what I think about. You went to Camp Ozark?

Yeah, I've told you that 50. Maybe that's who I know that those there. It's just you. Okay. Let's move to bonus then. I want to tell real quick. Okay. But my drink comes out with flying embers.

Oh, yeah? By the time this comes out, I'll have announced it on my Instagram. That's exciting. And it will launch Friday. It's a spicy lime margarita. And it has zero sugar. And it has zero. Calories?

Either calories or carbs. And at this time, I don't know that difference. It's carbs. It has to be carbs. Yeah. Or calories, maybe. It's like. Well, if something has,

zero calories, it can't have carbs. Where can people buy it? I'll post about that. Look at my Instagram, please. Because I don't remember. Does it taste good? They'll be available online. Yeah.

You'll taste it on Friday. Yeah. Didn't you say they have a Brooklyn Connor can? And it, yeah, and it has a call out to Brooke and Connor on the back of the can. That's very cool. So, I can't wait to see it. It's not live on the site right now. I wish I could show it.

I was going to bring a can and then my ass forgot. Okay. Because I brought this damn dog. Right. He's dead asleep. He's dead ass asleep. Can you imagine being a dog that like he's just like, oh yeah, no, I'm in this place with like 15 people I've never met. Do you mind if I fall asleep on the floor?

I love napping with people around. That feeling of like being alone together is one of the best. Alone. Alone. Alone together. Alone together. Yeah. Alone together.

Great feeling. Great name for a podcast. Alone together. I'll see you in the-offline with you. See you in the bonus. Bye. Bye. This week, I'm close friends.

Maybe some people haven't seen. pigs because they do look like a Pokemon. And then we keep the horrible stories for this because I think the people in this, in this group message can, can handle it and handle it and put the pieces together. I'm going to pavlov his ass off when we get home. How are you going to pavlov him? By being like when we're on a podcast studio, you have to be well behaved.
