When they said creativity, this is like a really good exercise for the kids. Yeah, in class as well when you're learning about suffixes, have a list of words. How are you going to usify these words? The mitochondria put its whole pussy into the powerhouse of the...

the cell. Hang on, let me say that one again. The mitochondria is the power hussy of the cell. Kinda. I would say, if it were me, the mitochondria put its whole mitocracy. Mitocosi? No, cur. Oh, wait. There's no cur in mitochondria. Mitochondi, like you. What would you be? See, what's cool about this is it's so different for... Connocy. Connocy. Yeah. So with aondria, mitochondria. Would you just be brussey?

Or bussy. Brassy or bussey. Nice. Yeah. You know, I don't know how it's possible for you to have the Zoe 101 theme song like banked in the back of your head like ready to like a loaded gun, ready to fire at any second. And it just does just pop off like whenever. I feel like it's also just like more than Zoe 101 too.

No, that's. You think it's always just I'm singing? I'm always just singing something. That's like your number one and I know that because it's so it's not top of mind but it is for you.

Yeah. Like no one... I had no idea that was my go-to. And I know what it... I know what it is when you're... Ooh, I'm like, Oh, you're sitting here standing there.

Right. It's a good song but I... Yeah. It's random. Oh, I thought it was just like I just sing like not specific to Zion 101. That one I think is like your Spotify number one.

stuck in your head. Whoa. Yeah. And like Logan's is I'm Like a Bird, which is a song, I'm like a bird. People are going to think you're talking about Logan from the gym. Not Logan from the gym. My cousin. That is just, it's weird because that's been going on for 10 years.

Her thing. Yeah. And I'm wondering what part of your brain doesn't have to tickle for it to just kind of get lodged in there and never leave? I was thinking like my dad was singing. 100% of the time growing up to the point where I was like, my friends are coming over. Please, like, I'm more, like, I'm embarrassed because he sung original pieces that he would make up on the spot. Like, nonstop. I like that.

Yeah. It was always like, her name is Brooke. She likes to cook, like over and over and over and over again with every sibling or, and my friend's names as well. Are you related to Dr. Seuss by any way? No, not whatsoever. Well, as far as you know Not according to my 23 and me Did I tell you about my 23 and me

Like all the cousins that I have Like all thousands of them It's always like related on both sides Yeah Yeah, you did Yeah We really haven't touched incest much on this pod But if today's the day

Then go for it. I don't know, I just don't know if that's what it means But I can't see what else it could mean Right, I don't know how you could be related To someone on both sides of your family Without someone kind of A cousin that I know, not just like a random 23 me, like cousin Jamie, for instance. I know cousin Jamie.

I know she's on my mom's side, both sides. Is cousin Jamie? Second cousin. Is she healthy? Yes. Then I don't take anything wrong with it. No, I know. I know I'm someone's second cousin on both sides.

Someone, maybe your family reunion was really, really fun for a lot of people. Yeah, you could, maybe, maybe it was. Anyway, welcome back to, Hey guys, Brooke and Connor make a podcast. We are so happy to be here and have you here. And let's get into it. Yeah, I would love to. We were just both saying it's kind of like a weird,

I said like a month ago that I was sensing that a very transformational time was approaching us. You did say that. And it has, it has approached us and it has, it's approached us and it has hit on us and you feel like we're in the process right now? Yeah, we're kind of having like whatever Brooks' second cousins had with each other the night that they gave birth to Oliver thousands of cousins.

I like, it's so much has happened recently. Right, with you especially. Yeah, I'm just feeling like I'm starting anew. Okay, let's take it from the top. Let's take it from like, let's chronologically, since we last spoke. Yeah. You went right to your stand-up set pretty much

from the last recording. I had to leave early because I hadn't written half of it. I don't know. I think I talked about that in close friends. But I was talking to my managers and I was like, hey guys. So, do you have any other clients that don't have their set written the day of the set? And they go, no. But there's always.

That's just you, though. I know. It sucks. You want to go to sleep the night before you are going up on a stage to talk to people and be like, I feel good. I'll go over it a couple times tomorrow. not go to sleeping like, I have to write eight more minutes.

Like for me, if I didn't have a set written two days before the show, I would say, I can't do the show. Yeah. I'm not prepared. But you're, like, that's how you thrive. I was preparing to kind of send a text around and being like, does anyone have COVID right now that I could come over and lick? Right. Because I kind of wanted to get out of it. Yeah.

I was exposed to COVID intentionally so I could get out of my set. Right. And then I said, you know what? No, I got to do it. If I bomb, I bomb. There's so many, I listen to so many of you like podcasts and stuff. I know like Matt Rife is very, uh, just watched him for the first time last night.

Yeah, he's, uh, very relevant right now. He's like in the news. Um, and I watched his whole special the other day. Because it helps me to hear other people to stand out to be like,

okay, I'm on the right track. The jokes make sense. Like, because at first you're kind of like, we do TikToks and I can edit that and I can change it and I get to watch as it either Flops one way ticket, all inclusive resort to Flop City.

Or, it kind of does well and I watched the cinnamon and the cons I'm like okay this makes sense the what? Sentiment

I said cinnamon sorry no I said cinnamon but I can be like okay I'm gonna pull that really quick because it was not denomination

when you're on the stage you kind of just go okay well that sucked a couple people were like okay still need to work on that one right and I was like okay

that's cool like workshoping live yeah but I'm like watching Matt Rife and I'm like he's like oh I've been doing this

for 11 years. I'm like, okay, so this was my third set. Right. So it's okay to bomb. Of course. Unfortunately, it's dry January, so I was unable. Like, I was like, okay, if I bomb, I just have to leave because I can't get drunk and just... Do you think when you're out of dry January, you'll drink before a set?

I like to have two beers. Uh-huh. Like, I have two, three beers when I golf and it gets me loose. Like, kind of like, not like sexy loose, but like, oh, I, I have two, three beers when I golf and it gets me loose. Right. But, like, oh, I have. I'm going to not be so stiff. Okay.

Like a board. Got it. I was also going to say I was watching Matt Rife's set and he was talking about this surgery he got on his nipples. And he said that although you can't see me with my shirt off like my nipples were cause for not concerned, but like people noticed his nipples with his shirt off. In what way? I need to revisit the way he put it, but he said kind of like, I had. Oh, the thing under them you were telling me? Yes.

Yeah. And he had a full. science name for it, but when I was going through puberty, like nipple rock, which I think I'm still kind of not fully out of the woods with yet. Um, I went to the dog, I'd show my mind. I was like, mom, I'd have breast cancer, unfortunately. Right. So there's no, there's nothing I can, I don't know what to do. And then it's, it was kind of like under my nipple. There was like a, sorry guys. This is kind of like a, uh, it was kind of like lumps. Right. And I was like, there are lumps under my nipples. I don't know. Say, mom, give me your fingers

and touch my nipple. Everyone I was kind of offering the chance to kind of touch my nipple. Both, plural, nipples. And we're like, we're going to the doctor. The doctor was like, oh, this is like, this happens all the time to people. It's called nipple buds or nipple

rocks. And it's just like a I guess like puberty thing. And you have like a I don't, a tissue. It's just tissue. Do you still have them? Like fatty tissue. you that like, no.

You hesitated? I checked while I was here because I was like, maybe I can show you on, but there's nothing. But yeah, he was kind of like in his adult life. I guess it was $9,000 because it counts as cosmetic for men. Is it like invasive? Or is it kind of like, no, but there are some surgeries that are like laparoscopic. I don't know.

The details. Okay, I'm curious. But he was saying, it's funny because he was saying it's $9,000 to get it fixed and like you don't necessarily you need fixed unless it's affecting you know I guess that's why they would call it cosmetic because you're not going to die from it right it's just like a comfort thing

but uh but you could see his yeah and it's like quality of life thing I guess but it's like it was $9,000 for him to have his nipples corrected to be how he wanted them but it's $10,000 for a fake pair of boobs

so he's like I could get for $1,000 extra just like kind of lean into it and have big old titties. And so he had that, he had to come to terms with what he wanted to move forward with and he just got the nipple correction surgery, which I guess is working out for him really well. Seems like it.

Yeah. Yeah. Awesome. Yeah. How was your set, by the way? Oh, sorry. Sorry. If anyone has any questions about the nipple situation, do not ask me.

I don't want to revisit it. Except for the past 10 minutes on this podcast. Right. It was really good. I think, oh, okay, so they were like, what, do you want to do a walkout song? By the way, it was like, Trevor Wallace was the opener. So I was like, oh, that's great.

It's awesome to follow up someone who sells out actual arenas, you know, and has a tour. And he's back there, and he's just, like, not even worried. Saunters out there, like, kills it. Has is so engaged with the audience. And it was a very Malibu audience, so it was, like, very different from that. from that set I did Hollywood.

They were scary in different ways. The one in Hollywood was like, I was performing in front of all the kids that went to art school. And then this one was like all the kids whose parents are rich. Well, it was a lot of, I was there.

There was a lot of kids from Pepper 9, I feel. Like it was a younger crowd. So, interesting. Yeah, and it was like a gorgeous crowd. Like I got up there and I was like, why is everyone on Raya here? Right. You know?

Yeah. But anyways, I got really excited. I was like going through it. In the back, behind the stage, I'm like going through my set up back there and I'm like, I forget everything. I got to the second bit and I was like, I don't remember the line. And I go, whatever. I'm just going to take my phone out on stage if I forget. They go, what song do you want to play as your walkout song?

I go, fucking problems. Do you know that time? Uh-uh. But I... I love bad bitches. Yeah. Which was not the song to play for that audience. I figured out.

Oh. I make icon. Did they play it? They did not play it because they decided it wasn't the song to play. Okay. But I thought they were going to play it. So I came out, fired up. I did not see that there was a rope.

Yes. Like a velvet rope kind of blocking. I jump out from behind the curtain, catch my ankle on the velvet rope, and smack face on the ground. And there's several angles of that. I'm still waiting on the professional camera to see if you got it. But everyone goes, ooh. I literally said to you, I was like, did you? fall.

Because you couldn't see. Brooke was it like kind of in the back. Yeah. And then you were like, no. I kind of blacked out just from like having fun. But yeah, I remember you eating shit. But that wasn't something you wanted to come to terms with at that moment, probably. Yeah.

Fine. Yeah. I'm sure people thought it was part of the set. Probably. It loosened everybody up except everyone. It was one of those things that we always talk about where people are like, oh no, is he okay? I'm like, I don't want pity. I'm here to be funny.

Right. laugh at it and we'll move on. I'm fine. But it's funny. So like the girl that was hosting, she was like, what do you want me to say about you? And I was like, I don't know. I don't do this.

Right. And so she's like, Connor from Texas. She was like, I'm going to say that we hooked up. Okay, cool. That's fine. That'll like loosen people up too. And so she says that. And then I go out after tripping and I like go to like pretend make out.

Whatever. And she like crouches away from me and I was like, ooh. Okay, maybe that wasn't. clear like I thought we were going to do a bit and it uh did not go through and then I had to go up there and be like and everyone was like what the fuck was that right and I was like okay let's start fresh here I fall right I like have a fail and then now I'm talking damn I wish I had like I really like could not see much I just like hurt it and you killed it thanks um you said you really enjoyed the wine right no I didn't say that oh I just assumed because when I saw you it's

like you really enjoyed the wine. Well, I was poisoned, by the way. I was overserved by myself. I love when people were like, yeah, I think I got drugged last night. I'm like, weird, I saw you order seven drinks. That's what I said. Did I tell you, I got drugged?

Yeah. You said, I think I got roofied. And I was like, you were at the bar like four times. Well, I was so nervous for you. I know. I was so nervous for you. So I just wanted a glass of wine to take the edge off. And there was only one.

kind of red wine. It was called the Tuscan blend and it was like black and in one of one of those like huge jars. It was like almost like like a Tito's handle but like wine and it was black. Well the lights were off so it was red.

No, it really was black once it was in my cup. Well on your shirt it was red. Right. But yeah. So I had a glass of that to take the edge off and by glass it was like more of like a cup. Chalice. Chalice. Yeah. And then I loved it, so I just got another one.

Yeah. And then you were awesome. It was so funny talking to you guys afterwards because I had like calm. It happened to all of us because we didn't expect the Tuscan blend to get us the way it did. Yeah, it's the altitude in Alabama. It really was like something was off. I think we're six feet above sea level. Yeah.

If I had had the Tuscan blend anywhere else, I don't think that the night would have gotten away from me like that. No, it was funny. It was really funny. Yeah. You met a lot of people. Yeah. Made a lot of promises. Made a lot of promises.

Signed a lot of contracts. Yeah, but from what I recall, you were awesome. Like, truly stole the show. And I mean that with my whole heart. Well, thank you so much. That makes me feel really good. A lot more to come. I know, like, I posted that and everyone was like, come to Detroit.

Okay. Come to Albany. Yeah. Okay. Hoping they have the Tuscan blend there. That would be fun. We just got to get some Tuscan blend on draft. Yeah.

But what was he going to say? Oh, crap. What was I going to say? Oh, I know what happened. So, like, sealing the show, I think what had happened is our friend that goes to Pepperdine had sent a text in a group me and invited a bunch of Pepperdine kids or students. Right. To come out and support, which was awesome because I think that was most of the crowd.

So they were familiar. Right. It was a lot of Connor fans, like, already. So they probably, well, I guess I never did any of those bits on TikTok. So it was fresh. Right. Yeah. But they were very.

very TikTok-esque bits. So that works really well. Yeah, it did. So more to come. I think that'll be fun. Yeah. It was awesome. I had a blast.

So glad it's over. Do you have another one planned? That one's going to be monthly. So we'll see if they invited me back at the show. I said I did next month. Oh, my God. Wow. Oh, I can't.

But I hope no one follows up with that. I think they might. I think they might. No, that was awesome. Thanks for coming. We had a good night. Yeah, it was fun. That was a blast.

After that, I moved. Basically, the next day, so spent MLK day weekend for the first time ever, just, like, productive. Uh-huh. Which is great. I'm all moved in. I'm all moved out of the apartment from hell.

Oh, and freaking crap. What? I've logged it. I've logged the whole move. I don't understand how, like, you thrive on the most stressful situation. I don't know. I don't know. Like, if I'm moving, it's like I'm consumed by the move,

like crying, miserable. Can't. Like, I'm paralyzed. Moving shouldn't... I don't know. That's what makes me nervous about, like, everyone's always, like, he was always interested in the weirdest things.

And then, like, they always end up killing someone. What? Like, the people, like, the kids with, like, weird interests. I'm not a kid, I guess. Are you saying your weird interest is moving? I like moving. I like being, like, a little bit. I like being busy and, like, stressed.

Yeah. So it makes me feel good. Right. I guess that's not, like, dissecting neighborhood cats. It's a little different. but it's just like your personality type. Yeah. You live on the edge.

But I wouldn't skydive. Different kind of edge. Like a soft edge. Yeah. I could jump onto like sand or something. Right. No, I've logged the whole thing. It's going to be up on YouTube next week.

It's pretty funny, I think. And then I'm going to do it follow up with the new house. Once I guess I've moved in, it looks like a, it's very, uh, skew. right now. It's like everything's moved in. I feel bad for the new roommates. They just have boxes everywhere now, but... Well, that's understandable when someone moves in. Yeah. I'm so excited to see it. It's great. And then I'm knock on wood. Gonna have a dog next week, too. Knock on wood. This really feels like it's going to happen. I think so too. I think the dry January of it all kind of got something out of the way. Like not having, not going out and making plans all the time has allowed me to

like do other stuff. Right. And I like want to do. Yeah. Still know how like what? Just the move and the dog and then stand up. Uh-huh. It's a bunch of new stuff.

Okay. You know Sarah, I'm always begging for hobbies. Right. Awesome. Yeah. How was your week? I'm super excited to.

I just talked for 20 minutes. I don't think I really did much. I went to your show. Then the next day I was like not really able to like participate in anything much. And then. Oh, this weekend I went to like a mountain, a snowy mountain, which is so confusing because it was an hour and a half from L.A. California is such a freak. I don't get it at all.

It was a blizzard in Southern California. It's in Southern California. It's part of L.A. County. And it was blizzarding. Yeah, I saw. I was really confused. I went to go tubing because I'm not skiing or snowboarding or anything of that sort. Yeah.

And they canceled the tubing. because of the weather conditions but they kept skiing how does that make sense um I think because of the type of person that would be tubing is probably more of a flight risk when a skier like a child or like a drunk person

I'm not saying you were a drunk person but like if I'm wasted put me in a tube okay interesting I guess that's the Texas in me I guess so love being drunk in a tube I just love tubing any time of day or in any terrain put me in the tube in water put me in the tube in snow

put me in a tube in fire. I love tubing. And I didn't get to. So I just, I had a good time. That was the first time I've been in that kind of weather in years. Yeah. Which is wild. Yes.

Blizzards. Because I haven't been home in the winter for two years, two plus years. So that was the first time being back in the snow. And you know what? I would be fine never, ever going back into the snow. Again, I don't, I don't like it. It's cold. But that's really it.

Did I do anything else this week? No, right? I don't know. I don't think I did. I didn't. So, and now I'm here. And look at us now. Look at us now.

Okay, here's the transition to get us from weekend update to more like current events, etc. I had a thought that I wrote down in my notes app. I want to linger on our shared note for a second. I think that we should call current events something else. Sorry. The happening. Okay. Oh, is that a little too haunted?

Okay. It's haunted? Is it like sound like a haunted movie? The happening? Oh, like the conjuring. Yeah, it kind of feels like spooky. Okay. So pick a different name.

I don't have anything else. Can we just say the happening? Sure, Connor. Okay. Okay. The happening. Well. The happenings.

A thought I had this weekend was as follows. Yeah, I'm listening. Cottage cheese is the new avocado. Just hearing that before I explain further, what are you thinking? Cottage cheese is the new, like it's spread, spreadable? You like spreading cottage cheese on things? No.

Basically, a few, in high school or in middle school when we were young, avocado was like, people didn't talk about avocado. People didn't use avocado. People didn't put avocado on toast with eggs. the way that they do now. Avocado toast wasn't a thing when we were in high school. Yeah. It's now mainstreamed.

There was this huge avocado renaissance, and now everyone eats avocado, but that wasn't always the case. The same thing is happening in cottage cheese. Now it's cottage cheese toast. Yeah, when you say, like, we're in different news cycles, this is what I'm talking about. You're not on cottage cheese talk? No, like NASA just found like a new habitable planet. Oh, I am only on cottage cheese TikTok, Twitter.

That's why we need each other because we are the balance of it. Like, I wouldn't have known anything about cottage cheese, and you wouldn't have known that there's a potentially habitable planet. God, no. That we could bring, we could pack up some cottage cheese and bring it as a housewarming gift to the new habitable planet. Well, that's the thing that I was going to say. Avocado, I could get on board with.

I love avocado. Cottage cheese? No. Really? Do you like cottage cheese? No. It's wet, um, wet kind of goo to me. Yeah, and I'm weird with cheese to begin with.

Like, I only like, like, like, mozzarella. if I'm just eating like plain cheese. My dad will eat cottage cheese with like hot sauce. That's terrifying to me. I know. It's weird. That's when I was kind of like I don't really think we're ever going to see eye to eye. Right.

Yeah, that's frightening. Yeah. But I was telling Ryan and Izzy yesterday about this thought that I was having about the avocado or the cottage cheese being the new avocado. And Ryan has this cottage cheese concoction that he eats, that he says is really, really good and I'm going to try it because. life is all about trying new things. And getting out of your comfort zone.

I told you it was a transformational. Here's Izzy. Thank you, Izzy. Oh, we have some. Oh, my God. Oh. Okay. Can you explain why it's watery? Um, I think it's the milk. There's milk in it?

Oh, it's cheese. Oh, no, okay. But there's not like separate milk in it. Yeah, cheese is milk. It's like curdled. That's why I have a problem with cheese. It's like that's... Oh, man, I just started twitching. That's freaky. So if you're listening on audio, I want you to know that if you've ever kind of been walking around New York City or Venice Beach and you're kind of looking down at the sidewalk and you tell your friends, hey, watch out. Don't step in that. That's what it looks like.

Very good, Connor. Thanks. Yeah. This is cottage cheese and almonds and maple syrup. So that's that. So I guess kind of dig in. You know there's two spoons for a reason. Come here. Ooh. Okay. Get your spoon, Connor. This is going to be. You make sure you get an almond.

Make sure you get an almond. Okay. I seriously don't know if I can do it. It's making me kind of cry. No, you kind of have to. Take all the time you need. It looks so nasty. Fogging, oh my God.

Okay, I'm not going to make you do anything that you don't want to do. I'm going to do it. Okay, let's do it at the same time. Close your eyes. Go. No, go. First thoughts. It's delicious.

Is it really? I apologize it. Is it delicious? Okay, I didn't. You not eat? No, I didn't. It's so good. Oh my God.

That's awesome. This is what? Cream cheese? Cotton cheese? I'm having a hard time, actually. This is the year of getting out of your comfort zone and realizing things. 2023 is the year of realizing things. Not for me.

Not for me. And that's okay. It's the It's the lumps. I guess it's more of a texture thing. I guess like it's not for everybody. But that's good. That's kind of like, um...

Well, people have to like different things. Otherwise, there would be not like, if everyone liked the same thing, there would be a lack of it. If cottage cheese wasn't lumpy, it would be like at a music festival, the headliners at night have to be on par famous wise, fan base wise, to where they split the crowd.

Exactly. That's why when Lizzo performs, she has such a huge crowd and they aren't able to get anyone because she's so fun and such a good performer. The crowd's 150,000 people. If you're in the back for Lizzo, she's, you barely see her.

So they would have to have somebody that's like the same amount of power. So I'm sure there's something, yes. And I'm sure there's something equally disgusting. avocado that's the whole point of the conversation so avocado's on on on this stage sure cottage cheese would be on this exactly well do you know that and we're all toast I guess yeah yeah awesome we're all toast yeah um with the whole like avocado renaissance thing you were talking about that that actually was like such a big thing that you know that we went

into like what's it called when you don't have very much a shortage shortage we went and do an avocado shortage and so they started mass producing avocados and now we have a surplus. Okay. I'm telling you the cottage cheese surplus is coming soon and that's not a world I want to live in at all. Well. But good for you though, right? I don't think I'll be seeking it out.

You don't? No, I don't really want to have that in my home. Have the rest. I'm good. But you see, the reason I was going to say like they should make it look more attractive because then they would sell more. I think the whole point is the lumps. Like if I was working in marketing,

I'd see this as an opportunity to work with some chemists, some scientists, et cetera, to figure out a way to make cottage cheese look more attractive. Like whip it? Yeah, whipped cottage cheese would probably be awesome. I like whipped anything. Uh-huh. Is that just yogurt? I don't know.

Okay. I don't like yogurt, do you? Yeah, I do. Awesome. Yeah. I started, I realized the other day that these, like, new coffees I'm getting these quartados, which I can't remember what it is, but it just feels good to go to the front of the line and be like, can I get a cortado please? No one gets in your way after you order a cortado.

You walk out and everyone's like, who is that? I've never heard that word in my life. I know. I know. But all the brisces know what a cortado is. And it's very tiny coffee, which I'm kind of into now. Like an espresso? No, it's a cortado. Right. Like I said earlier. But I didn't realize it's whole milk. I've been drinking whole milk with my coffee. for a while. You know what? I'm ready to acknowledge it.

That just, it is what it is. I'm hoping that it was acquired in a humane way. Yeah. But it tastes good. Okay. That's where I'm at.

And I'm not, I'm not sharding or anything. So I don't feel like, yeah. Awesome. I don't know. I can't, I don't want to speak on the sharding so early

because of the cottage cheese at 9 a.m. Right. But I had a quartata this morning. Okay. Well, let's kind of see how that progresses as the day goes on. Yeah, it's been good.

I was walking back from with my Cortado today, and this squirrel kind of made eye contact with me. There's one of those things where I was like, is this squirrel going to say something? Like words? Oh my God. Speaking of squirrel, listen to this voicemail. Do you mind if I finished this story that I was kind of starting?

It looks at me and kind of looks like it's about to say something. And I was like, say it. You can trust me. I'm not going to tell anyone if you talk to me. and we could have a cool thing going on. I just moved here. I don't really know anyone in the area. And then he kind of comes towards me a little bit,

and I was like, okay, is this a dangerous situation? And then I start walking, and he's following me, and he's on a fence. So he has the higher ground at this point, and we're walking up, and he starts kind of picking up the pace, and I'm picking up the base, and it gets right up to my gate to go into my house,

and he stops. But I was like, what the hell? And so I texted my roommates. I go, have it? I think I've had any run-ins with a squirrel that seems like I could talk. I kind of was like, it seems like it knew me. You know, and they were like, yeah.

And I was like, okay, well, that is something that I'm going to have to either get to the bottom of, befriend him like I was trying to with those crows at my last apartment or fight him. So we'll figure out how that goes. I'll keep you guys update him. Okay. Are you done that segment?

Yeah. Okay. You want to go into your squirrel story? Well, now I'm thinking it's not even funny. But basically I had this postmates delivery. And like my apartment has a gate that's like always locked and there's no way for me to access it unless I walk down and let you in. I know the gate. So I my like directions in the postmates app is like just leave it at the gate and that and like have a good day.

Like just leave it at the gate. Please. It's always an issue. It's like, hey, I'm here. And I'm like, awesome. Just leave it at the gate. And then or like they'll be like, No, which I guess is fine because they don't want it stolen or whatever.

And then it's this whole thing. But it's like, I don't really want to interact with them. So it's like, because I don't like social activity and whatever. So it's like just leave it at the gate. And this one guy was like, you can just leave it. Thank you. And he was like, no, there's a squirrel. And he would not leave it.

And I was like, please just like I was just out of the shower. Like could not come down. He wouldn't leave it. Listen to this voicemail that he left. Oh my God. Well, now I'm going to have the same issue, I guess, with this guy. This was after like so many texts about the squirrel. Hey, this is your food delivery, dude.

So it is currently, I mean, there's no dryish parts near the gate, but overall it's rainy, and I'm worried that your food will get wet. And second, there was a squirrel lurking and kind of just waited for me to leave the food earlier. I think it ran off. Ran off. Or might be circling back. Brow? And then I entered.

the end of the voicemail. Yeah. I was like, do you have two postmates people coming? No, no. But he was like, he was obsessing about the squirrel. Well, I understand his fear. I think that is like going above and beyond.

I've just like never heard that like if I saw a squirrel, I wouldn't think twice about leaving. He came there to do his job. Right. Yeah, I guess you're right. I can't fault him for that at all. No. It was just like a king at work.

It was just like a whole like 20 minute thing. You know, we talk so much about raccoons being these like little robbers in the night. Right. I don't think a... No one talks about how nefarious, like, squirrels are. But could a squirrel have gotten into my, like, huge, like, brown paper bag? Yes. Yes, it could.

One squirrel? Yes. We have these squirrels... How does it have the strength? They... God, I don't know. I don't think it could have... The way he was engineered by a higher power.

Raccoon, yeah. Squirrels... They have little hands. But it's so tiny. They have teeth. Yeah, I don't. I really don't think it could have. I promise.

And they're smart, too. Like, they're intentional with how they work. Okay. My parents live, there's like a golf course near their house and they go golfing and there's this one hole that they're all aware of this squirrel. Because when you go out to hit, it goes onto your golf cart. It takes your cell phone. It takes, like, whatever food you have and it will go.

A squirrel takes your cell phone. How does it carry that? While also, it crawling on all fours. It took, well, like one of my dad's friends' phones up into a tree. There's no way. Okay. Because it has to use its arms and legs to get up into the tree. It's not holding an iPhone in its mouth.

Let's call my parents. Okay. I don't want to call. I feel like we've called my parents every episode. Okay. Mom. You can text them. Well, I'll text them in a second.

Okay. But yeah, I really like, there is no way, Connor. I promise. So. Okay. And I'm pretty sure, like, if I'm remembering the story correctly, I think the squirrel got up in the tree and then dropped the phone and it broke the phone.

Yeah, because it can't hold it, but also it never got up there. It literally scientifically could not have gotten into a really. Can't believe you're calling me a liar. I am. No, I don't think you're a liar. I think this is exactly what happened when you insisted that your parents' wedding song was Kiss Me and that song wasn't out before you were born. And you were so insistent and then called your parents and they were like, no, it wasn't.

I think you genuinely like meanwhile, but you just like are missing something. Whoa. Yeah. I really, I really do think that. Holy smokes, okay. You know? I'm keeping that one on the back burner. I don't mean it, and I think you have good intentions, and I've always said it's all about intention.

I think the story got mixed up somehow. I think that is, like, a really great way to put it. You mean well, but there's something missing. We know your heart. You're wrong in this instance. Great. Yeah. Do you have?

Yeah, I have so many things. Great, go ahead. I have so many things on my notes app. I just, like, don't even know where to begin. Do you want me to give you some options? That's why I bolded a couple things. Do you want to talk about your resolutions? Because I'm getting back on YouTube, that was one of my resolutions.

But I kind of revisit my resolutions because I feel like having your resolutions due on the first when you've got so many holidays and traveling. and whatever, you're around family. I think that's a lot of pressure to put on someone to have an assignment to, like, your resolutions. Also, January, just like Equinox said, we don't speak. I don't speak January. Mostly because I just got too much going on in January. January is, for me, a wash. January and February.

Yeah, last thing I'm doing is joining a gym in January. I agree. They shouldn't speak spring if they really want to keep out all the quitters. New Year's Revolution should happen in July. Fully. Give me six months. Halfway through the year. Yeah.

Yeah. And let's revisit it. Because also, I don't want to share my resolutions if I've already failed them. Right. You know, you've heard of quiet quitting? Just like when you quit quietly? You just stop working at your job, but you don't actually quit and you just kind of like wean off. No, but I like the Irish goodbying.

Exiting. Yeah, but this is just kind of like a slow burn and then you're like, I have quiet resolutions. Good. I don't tell anybody what they are. And then if I fail them, no one knows except it. Well, aren't you about to tell us right now? I'm not going to tell you the ones that I already failed. Okay.

Let's see. New resolutions. Fill up my brittah. Stop drinking tap water with heavy metals. It's got to be doing, you're talking about that pissing me's? What? Missing me's. Piss.

See? That's why I got to stop drinking tap water. Yeah, it's the tap water for sure. So I need to address the pissing mease by filling up my brittah. So I'm going to start filling it my brita, putting it in the fridge. Did you do it yet? Yeah, I've been doing it nonstop for a month. And now I'm like, oh, I'm thirsty.

There's no water in the brita. I got to wait another five minutes to drink water. That's why I can't participate. Yeah. Stop bringing my phone in the shower. You haven't done that. Have you? Yeah, I stopped.

Really? Yeah, I leave it in my room. Okay. I'm going to get in my shower. That's going to help me, I think, a lot. Because it'll just be me and my brand. in the studio. Do you have your aquanotes

and your new? Got my aquanauts. I got everything ready. So when I'm in there, it's just me having my eureka moment. With the aquanodes. With the water.

That's good. With my new dual head shower, which I love. Yeah. That sounds like an awesome setup. It's great. Proud of you. The only thing about the shower,

this is my new shower, my new house. It has that door that I think it's supposed to be these new houses, like these builds. Don't have the glass doesn't go all the way to the wall. It's like open.

So it has like... You have one of those showers where you can see yourself in the mirror while you're showering? Brooke, get real for a second. Hell no. That would be a reason for me to not move into a home. Like everything's perfect. Oh, I can see myself showering.

Sorry. Yeah, seven years of bad luck. I'm throwing a rock at that mirror. That's, oh, okay. Anyways, the glass doesn't go all the way to the wall. So it's like open. So there's airflow while I'm in the shower. That could be nice, depending on the temperature of the day.

Well, I just need to take shorter showers. Greta Thunberg would be. Do you take long showers? Well, it's my thinking time. It's my thinking time. Yeah. But I also travel, like most couple weeks I've gone for four or five days. So I think about that, like, 20-minute shower as two showers.

I don't think I understand how you got from point A to point B there. What does traveling have to do? If I'm not taking showers in my apartment for those five days, like if I'm at my parents' house, then my- You're showering your parents' house, right? Yeah. Okay. I guess environmentally it's worse. Yes.

But I'm thinking about my water bill. Okay. Okay. I see what you're saying. Okay. So that was one of the resolutions. I want to see the northern lights this year. Where do you have to go for that, Iceland?

Alaska, I think. Or like Upper Michigan. Or probably Canada. Okay. You could totally go to Upper Michigan. Yeah. I do. every year.

Right. And learn to play that banjo that I bought for no reason after hearing one Tyler Childers song. Did you learn to play the banjo? No, but I bought it. It's been kind of leaned up. Anytime I have new people over to my house, I put it kind of leaning up against my couch to look like, oh my God, guess. Let me put my banjo down.

I really have never heard of someone like wanting to be cool and then thinking, let me get a banjo and prop that up. And that's going to make people really. You know what? Really admire me. I try. I have my whole life, I've tried so hard to be different.

Right. And I'm literally just like everyone else, and that's okay. And that's so funny because I feel like my whole life, I've been like, please God, just like make me like everyone else,

please. And I just like can't quite, quite can't quite get there. It's like, I'm like, oh, you know, I said this on the YouTube video that I'm making,

so just don't, even blink an eye, but I was thinking about it when I was moving. I was like, why do I have a fucking tea kettle? I don't drink tea. It was because when I moved in, I was really trying to do the French press coffee guy that made my coffee and it takes you 30 minutes for no reason. Kureig DMed me on Instagram and was like, hey, do you just want a Kierig? And I was like, yeah, I do.

Yeah. You know? You need to get. Guess what? I don't live in Paris. I don't need French press coffee. Uh-huh. I just want.

What about an espresso? I feel like that elevates. No offense to cur egg. No. Yeah. I mean, whatever. I'll do whatever.

Okay. I'm just like my espresso is like one of my desert island items, I think. Really? Yeah. You don't even drink that much coffee, I feel like. But I have to have my morning cup.

Yeah. Like if I didn't, I wouldn't be able to have the day, you know? Do you want to hear mine year's resolutions? Yeah. The tea reminded me of one that hasn't even crossed my mind since January 1st. Drink a cup of spring. spearmint tea every night.

Why? It's really good for balancing hormones. Oh. Spearmint. Interesting. Yeah. Spirment. Yeah.

I don't... Cheapies of gum. I think it's a... I think it's kind of different. I think the gum is more of like the flavoring is mint, whereas like the actual like spearmint, spearmint is in the tea. You know? Yeah.

I guess you're right. Yeah. That sounds right. So that was one. Haven't touched, haven't ordered the tea. Second was waking up at the same time every day. Routine. routine basically consistency no god no haven't set an alarm once um the third was go to the gym at least twice a

week i have not yet been in 2023 that's where the quiet resolution's coming and this is called growth mindset which is something that i would teach my preschoolers i haven't been to the gym yet i haven't gotten my spearment tea yet i haven't set an alarm yet but i haven't set an alarm yet but i haven't been to the gym yet but I will. It's just a matter of yet. When I get there. When I get there, I will. There's no rush. Exactly. There's no time like the present. I'm in bonus. I'm going to order experiment tea. Cool. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good idea. Okay. Let's talk about something that is happening online in pop culture. Do you have something? Yeah. Yeah, I want to talk about something. Okay. I want to talk about Andrew Garfield and Chicken Shop Girl. Oh, okay. Do you know what I'm

talking about. I saw that video like 40 times. Okay, this is the second time that they've had this really flirty encounter on the red carpet. And I just want to say, there are so many girls that are like, damn, like, if it can't be me, I'm glad it's her. I don't, I will never say that about anyone because if it can't be me, like, I don't, like, I want to die. Like, I don't, like, I wish I could be one of those girls. It's like, oh, like, I can be happy for this girl. No, like, I can't, like I almost can't watch this and I'm not happy for her. She's so good.

Sure. Yeah, objectively. But I really almost can't watch this. So do you want to watch it right now? Yeah, I do want to watch it and I want to kind of analyze it frame by frame. But I just want you to know it's painful and I'm not happy for them.

Like if they invited me to their wedding, I wouldn't go. Okay. Or get them a gift. I don't think we have to, I guess we'll cross the bridge we'll get there. I don't think that that will be an issue. Yeah. Which is good.

because you don't have to say now. Because they won't be invited or because they won't get married? Probably both. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Do you think he knows who she is because he's British? No,

I think that... She's really famous over there. She's famous here, but I think she's more famous. Yeah, I think she is famous over there. Yeah. This is Amelia from Chicken Chop Date online also if you're on audio. Oh, yeah. I like the burnt orange suit also that.

Incredible. Well, I went to Texas, and that would be something I would buy. Like, if I ever get invited. I did back to Texas because I'm a valuable alumni. Yeah. I'm going to get a burnt orange suit. Yeah, I get that. To come back and Matthew McConaughey does it all the time.

Right off the bat, they've known each other forever. Yeah, it's just like running into people. Like, I've never seen a celebrity have this kind of relationship with an interviewer. Well, I think that she's like elevated herself in the past. six months to be to be like more than like an interviewer. She's a celebrity. I think she is.

You're right. This is like objectively so. So I want to say something about this. We've talked so much about my strategy surrounding ethical cloud chasing. She does harness if you ever want to do a frame by frame study on ethical cloud chasing. She does that in a way. And it is it's a lot about your demeanor and about like not care. pretending she doesn't care.

Yeah. That's what it is. When Maddie Healy was like, give me a kiss, she was like, no. That's insane. That goes, it breaks down that, like, celebrity to, like, individual encounter and makes you peers almost. Right. Well, that's scripted.

Like, give me a kiss, no. If I had that script. I don't think it's scripted. I think that they had scripted the kiss piece. The questions are ready. But I think a lot of it is improv. I don't think we'll know, but I do think that, like, based on. reactions and if you like slow it down like i think it is really in the moment even just like

okay even if it wasn't scripted and like he was like giving me a kiss and like i know that i'm supposed to say no like as my character i wouldn't be able to you know but that elevates i know even if i know i'm going to be elevated even if i know it's going to elevate the video 10fold if i say no it's not it wouldn't be an option she just cares so much about her work i know that it's like that's why she'll be famous for a long time yeah good for her But yeah. This was really funny to watch. I think it's cool.

I think like this, her being at the Golden Globes interview as like the main interviewer hosted by like hosting Golden Globes interviewing is just like she solidified her spot. She'll probably end up like a Z way. Like have a show pretty soon. Well, chicken shop kind of is that already. It's a YouTube show though. I think like that she could be on a network probably and bring in views. Andrew's going to be on that in the next two months, I'd say.

Like it would be shocking if he wasn't. you know yeah because she puts people on the spot and then so many her audience is so engaged that they're like we're gonna like do a public outcry and she doesn't even have to ask for it it speaks for itself i think it's awesome i think it's really cool yeah i think it's really cool too but i'm also like not like feeling good you know but i can separate the feeling from the art and acknowledge that the art's good that's good and feel sad that it's not that it's not me. Well, it could be. And that I don't have the ability to be lowercasey chill like that, you know? Well, growth. You said you just don't have that ability to be chill yet.

Yet. Yeah, exactly. Great. Well, time will tell. I had something that popped up this morning that I think is really interesting. Tell me. Okay, so this is from Morning Brew. They came out yesterday and and Match Group, which owns, this is more tech news kind of thing. So I love going pop culture to tech news. But this one's funny because I have like, I actually wanted to have a conversation about this. Match Group is basically, they own Tinder, they own Hinge, they own E-Harmony.

Okay. They're like a conglomerate of a bunch of different dating apps. And they came out and said that they're going to be testing new tiers, including a $500 a month Tinder membership. What could that possibly? Let me read this really quick. There's a new Tinder Swindler. out there and it's Tinder itself.

Match Group announced that it would be testing out new subscription tiers for its apps Hinge and Tinder. The new Hinge premium level which would cost between $15,60 a month, will offer a highly motivated daters feature intended to boost user exposure. So I think

that would be like I really, really am trying to find someone. It's just weird. I think like I'm going to paying for an app to find someone to fall in love with is just like a crazy thing. I would be really turned off if I saw that somebody had the premium membership, even if I was paying for the premium membership myself.

I know. I'm wondering, like, they just need a full separate app for people that are desperate. Yeah. Yeah. Sign me up. Also, if I couldn't possibly trust

anybody that still has Tinder on their phone. Really? Yeah. There's something about that that's... It's very... It's very young. And again, we've spoken about intention. The intention doesn't feel like a matter.

When does it go from, if you're paying $60 a month for Tinder, and we all kind of think it's Tinder as like fuck.com. Right. How. Ooh, fuck.com. I kind of want to go to fuck.com and see just what's there. Do you mind? Do you mind doing some field?

Yeah. Probably talk about this. Oh, we're going to do it. Oh, perfect. Oh, let's do it on the bitch. com. Fuck.com. Forward slash B and C MAP.

But what I was going to say, like, when does it cross the line? If you're on Tinder to like bang, when does it cross a line of like actual, you're paying $60 a month to. have sex. I guess between two consenting adults, it's fine. That's what it is. But it's crazy to think about. Okay, I found fuck.com. It's porn.

What? Random. Crazy. I think. I'll accept the cookies. Sign up now. Chat, flirt, and date without taboos. Whether you're looking for casual dates or something a little more kinky, sign up for free and find sizzling.

Events, sex parties, or get to know, sexy like-minded people in sex talk or erotic forum. Fuck.com is the place to fulfill all your wildest fantasies. Yeah. What if there's a picture of me on the main? It's kind of tasteful. Yeah, I feel like they kind of took the stem...

Oh, I'm kind of loving fuck.com. It kind of reminds me of like those like porn sites made for women, you know, that are like tasteful and like emotional and whatever. That's what fuck.com is giving. Oh, you just reminded me of that show Minks got picked up, repicked up. I still haven't watched that. A while back, I was talking about how much I liked Minks and how much I liked Minks and how I was because season two was, I think, already filmed. Yeah.

It's coming back out. Good. Someone else picked it up. I need to watch that. HBO Max or something. Yeah, I love Jake Johnson. He's really good at it. Yeah, I bet.

He's going to have, like, once that show gets picked up, it gets press again, he's going to have a renaissance of being like a list famous again. Good. Yeah. He deserves it. Yeah, he does. He really does. What's that supposed to mean?

Wink, wink, wink. I've got to watch the show, huh? Speaking of Maddie Healy. Did you see that, well, Taylor came out at the concert, which I was honestly, like, shocked by. Like, I'm shocked that she... Taylor Swift came out at a 1975 concert, and that was the first time that she performed. Anti-hero, live. Which, like, awesome.

Like, of course, that's the space where I would perform my new single. But I'm shocked that that's the space that she chose to perform her new single. Okay. I have thoughts about this, too. Okay. Taylor Swift, to me, I'm going to be. gonna get ripped as shreds for this. Kind of feels like she's got a really good team

that's like you need to be in the most relevant space right now. And right now all eyes are on 1975. She doesn't need to do that. No. She is the music industry, whatever. But her team's like, it would be really good look for you to go here, make all the headlines here, because everyone's already looking at this space. Don't compete with 1975.

Join up. If you can't beat him, join him. You don't need to beat him. No. God no. He's stoked to have her. They're on the same team. Now, Harry Seils.

Can I say something? Sure. I'm like not over him, but like I'm mad at him. Like he's upsetting me. I don't know how he's still standing. I don't blame him for not going to play at the 1935. He needs to go to sleep for one year. I just feel like his intention was like it almost felt like a slight to the 1975.

Well, we'll never know. Him being like I don't want to be involved with the controversy, if you will. That is like all these. Like he just doesn't like You can't avoid controversy for the rest of your life He's got a really clean brand right now I feel like he doesn't want to tarnish it Tarnish like it's time to tarnish

That's how I feel Like you can't be that Pure all the time You know Especially for someone who dated Olivia Wild And his best friends with James Corden He stayed completely out of both of those Controversies so I feel like he's just

Give us something Well I feel like he's intent It's intentional like he's probably got the best strategy He's probably got the same strategist as like giant like jp morgan banks like he probably has like very very big lawyers and very big strategists and branding people that are like you really shouldn't be around this guy that's sucking people's faces off yeah and eating raw meat on stage right it's just like he's not i feel really disconnected from him and i guess there's no he he he doesn't have to share anything with us you know he doesn't

owe us anything but i wish i could hear his genuine voice a little bit more he's feeling more just like so detached Harry. Puppet vibe. Yeah. Yeah, I know. I agree. So that's just kind of what I'm feeling. Whereas Maddie, I just feel like I'm getting so much. He's giving it his all. He's giving me everything. Did you see he threw up on stage the other night? And no one's even talking about that because it's like the smallest thing he's ever done on there.

That's when you know I like someone as if I can watch them throw up. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Usually if I even hear like the word throw up, but my eyes are closed, my ears are shut. I watched the video of Puk flying out of his mouth And I said, oh You also, I think a while back And it's on tape, you said that you would drink Harry

Stiles to vomit, so Oh, I still would Even if I'm a little mad at him Um, you remind me of these girls Did you see these girls that were found Countries and countries away from Pakistan Because they were trying to find that band, BTS No, but just hearing that

Like, I completely support their mission statement We have. Missing Teenage Girls and in Pakistan ran away from Pakistan to meet BTS, let me say. Yeah. Now, they were found, if you look at the map, I don't know anything about geography,

but they left Pakistan, and I don't know how many miles that looks. That looks like a lot of miles. So far. What is, what do they say about these girls? Two teenage girls reported missing in Pakistan last week have been found more than 750 miles from home after attempting to travel to South Korea

to meet K-pop, super. band BTS. The two girls 13 and 14 went missing on Saturday. Whoa. Oh my God, they're so young. I would have done that for the Glee tour. They found, during a search of their homes, police found a diary that revealed their plans to travel to South Korea to meet the supergroup. Yeah. From the diary, we saw mentions of a

train timetable and that they had been planning to run away with another friend of theirs. We then interviewed. Holy smokes. I hope they're safe, but like, as long as they're safe, I'm fully supporting their mission. Yeah. Like... 13 and 14 is such the age to run away to meet Superband BTS. I wish that I had done something like that in my youth. I would have thrown myself onto the Gleetor bus.

Or in front of it. Or in front of it. Whatever. I can't relate to this at all, but I'm Godspeed. I bet they're grounded as shit right now. Have they been returned to their respective homes? I think that they are safer else. I don't think CNN world would be.

K-pop has a huge falling over the world. the seven member oh there's nothing about their safety it's a lot of background on BTS it isn't a surprise that the two teenagers took the risk because stands are capable of doing this for their idols but if we had

more safe organized fan girling spaces younger fans could engage openly and freely with each other about their favorites instead of taking such risks wow they're home they're home and they're safe I'm glad they're home and I'm glad that they're safe and I'm glad that they I hope they had a positive experience

doing what they love okay I know a lot of people are like really scared about like the way that stands and standship and I don't really understand what it's just obsessions right yeah like you would die for these people you would get in fights for these people yeah you would like devote your life to the cause

I do think that it's mental illness I've yeah I know I know my theory no I think the more mentally ill you are is directly related to your celebrity crushes or obsessions. Like, for me, for example, like, just like looking to fill a void, peak mental illness, okay, filling the void with these celebrities. You know?

I don't know. Well, I'm telling you that's my theory. Listen, I see you. One. I hear you, two. I do stand with you. Yeah. But I'll never understand you.

And you don't need to as long as you do those three things that you've just described. here I am. Yeah, here you are. Yeah, because I've had times where I'm like, wow, mentally, I feel the best I've ever felt. And my celebrity crushes have really, like, kind of just like all tier threes. Yeah.

You know? But like when I'm like at my low, like depressed, anxious, like I've got a tier one. Yeah. You know? And I feel in the old void. Yeah, exactly. Well, I mean, whatever works.

Which reminds me, science corner. And then we'll wrap up here. Did you see that the first. brain implant to treat depression starts second human trial? Yes. I actually did see that. I want to say... That was really hard.

That was awesome. And you know what? That high five had to happen here because this discourse, I have to claim in our space. We start these discussions about they should do lobotomies at Clare's. Casual brain surgery. What have I always been saying? Casual brain surgery. Suddenly they start the second human trial of brain imprint.

implants for depression? They watch B&C and there's no way to deny that. I know for a fact we have scientists stands. I know that too. That are filling the void with us. I 100% agree. This is nothing if not casual brain surgery. Yeah.

And I would like to know like what you need, what are the qualifications to qualify for the depression chip. I feel like you check a lot of the boxes to be in like a trial. Yeah. So if you guys are listening to this, which you are, I'm volunteering my brain. As tribute. Yeah, as tributte.

I think it's great. I think so excited for this to see what happens. Yeah, me too. We could be, talk about a renaissance. Talk about a renaissance. We could all be feeling like we're on Molly forever. Yeah. We should all get this.

I would like it, as I've expressed. Yeah. Countless times. Okay, one last thing before we go. Yeah. You can take it from here. Oh, did you? I know.

The American Dialect Society came up with their, I can't believe how many people just decided. their word of the year, you know? And I feel like we're, I respect American Dialect Society because it took its time to really think and really wanted to make sure that this, this word, this phrase held water and really meant something to the people. Growth mindset. The 2022 American Dialect Society's word of the year is usy.

Dash usy. What is it? As in something, what's it called if it goes at the end of a word? Connotation. No. So it definitely talks to the same. suffix. Suffix.

That's what I was saying. No C in that word. Yes. The selection. C can be pronounced in France. If you think of cinderblock or cider. Cinder block is of C. Yes.

And cider is a C. Wow. Or Cyanide. Self. Wow. Nice. Yeah. I didn't even couldn't have gotten there.

Cyanide feels like an S. No, it's not. Okay. The selection of the suffix, Ossie, highlights how creativity in the word formation has been embraced online in venues like TikTok. The playful suffix builds off the word pussy to generate new slang terms. The process has been productive lately on social media sites and elsewhere as it has been dubbed

usification. For more... This isn't an online publication. Usification. Yeah. For more on the usy phenomenon riffing off bussy. Wow, that's a word I've never heard before. Pormantau.

Portmanteau? A portmanteau of boy and pussy. Everything is a cat. Now everything is a cat or cavity. I don't know what that means. A calzone is a pizza usy. A wine bottle has a wine usy. Yeah.

A corpus study of phonological factors in the novel. Yeah. There's nothing. There's no word that you can't make an usy is what they're trying to say. Cottage cheese. Cottage chissy. Cottage chissy. Yeah.

Well, the dairy industry put its whole cottage usy in there. Cottage chissy? Yeah, it's chissy. Who, okay, see, that's where, when they said creativity, this is like a really good exercise for the kids. Yeah, in class as well when you're learning about suffixes, have a list of words. How are you going to usify these words? Napoleon put his whole pussy into. And then we go back to the original, the origin.

Pussy. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Homer put his whole Odussy into that... Into the Audit. Odysi! Odyssey. Oh, very good, Connor.

The audussy. Yeah. What else did we learn about in the school? George Washington put his whole Delaware into that rowboat as he crossed the Delaware. The Delaware. I didn't know that he crossed the Delaware specifically. That's a big one to know.

That's not something I learned in school. Which is scary. Let me think of one more. How about a science one? Okay. What did Newton do? The mitochondria put its whole pussy into the powerhouse of the cell. Hang on, let me say that one again.

The mitochondria is the power hussy of the cell. Kind of. I would say, if it were me, the mitochondria put its whole mitochondria. its whole mitocracy mitochondosy. Mitocussy? No, cur. Oh, wait.

There's no cur and mitochondria. Mitocondriety, like you. What would you be? What's cool about this? It's so different. Connocy? Connocy.

Yeah, so with a chondria, mitochondria. Would you just be brousy? Or bussy. Brassy or bussy. Nice. Yeah. Well, guys,
