I don't know how to, I don't know what to do. This is coming out on the 12th. So yeah, one day after your birthday. Yay. Happy. By the way. Thank you so much. Wait, this is so weird.

Hang on. So we're recording this in the past. And that's important to note because I have to say I don't know what's going to happen in between now and September 10th anything could happen I'm going to throw up

thinking about I thought my birthday was in I thought my birthday was next year I thought my birthday was next year y'all it is you just have one before that too that's sick in the head stop the count stop the count stop the clock

oh my god you are in your f***tie moment what's is the song from boom. No, what's the era? Sorry.

He's turning and he's like, I feel like I'm running out of time. I'm not turning to stop. I know. You're going to be in your year,

I'm saying. Okay. Redacted. Redacted. Redacted. Redacted. All of that redacted. Can you do one long beep?

I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding. No. But you know, yeah. And he did die. You know when So. All right.

That was, he was feeling there was an antsiness to that. He was like, I feel like I'm running out of time. Clock is ticking. Drop dead. You know how Republicans always seem to be finding missing ballots? Mm-hmm. You're going to find a loss year. I'm going to find the opposite.

Yeah. There's too many ballots. Too many years have been counted. Yeah. Just throw some away. I don't mind. I do think that we should get the COVID years back. No, that's what Korea did

Korea got two years back Which I think like That would really mean a lot to me No, it would mean so much The difference between 28 and 26 Yeah It ain't right It ain't right

Give me my years back I want to send in like a You know the coupons that you send in And you get a rebate I want an age rebate You want what? I want an age rebate Okay

Confused? No, I thought you said something else. Well, that's because I made something up. What did you think I said? Nothing. I said, AIDS rebate. No, I know. Let's move on.

What did you think I said? AIDS rebate. Now, why, why, why would I ever say AIDS? I don't know. That's why I had that reaction. Well, you guys, as you can see, Izzy threw me a birthday party on set. She did. I want to be very clear.

it's August 19th so I came in you have a few more weeks left someone who's coming here and hold me back from hitting broken my face you could I would get a lot of like sympathy points no I somehow still think

maybe I could pass you following on Instagram I think somehow still people would be like well she kind of had it coming she should have known better she really should have known better because Connor like we know it's hard he wouldn't just hit brook without reason yeah oh that's like dave port and i called me annoying oh do you want to talk about that i didn't think you would i don't care okay

i genuinely i need to stop eating i'm so sorry thank you for those of you don't know uh date fort and i called uh connor uh annoying no on bfx for like several for like several minutes prolonged it's like a prolonged like most annoying guy I've ever met. That's like I would be like that is that looks nothing but good for you to be called annoying by Dave Portnoy for being friendly. I think that like that does nothing but like boost you. I didn't listen to the episode but I couldn't help but catch that you you said he said I was the most annoying guy he's ever met is that what you said? Like something like that. So I currently hold the world record for most annoying guy Dave Portnoy's ever met.

I was saying like that's like that looks great for you. Like if any celebrity, if you could call it that, could hate you, I would pick Dave Portnoy. And like the reason that he hates you is awesome for being too nice. I'll take it. Yeah, I agree. That's like you should be bragging about it. I didn't lose any sleep over that. I wouldn't.

Oh. I am so obsessed with Hamilton. Where'd that come from? I mean, I've always been obsessed with Hamilton. But I was in Trader Joe's the other day in this one specific. song. The last song, Who Lives Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story, came on. And that's when Hamilton

has died at this point. Be a gunshot. And Eliza, his wife is like, if only you had more time. But like, don't worry, I had time. And so I did what you would want me to do. And I, like, made the I made an orphanage, the first private orphanage, like in your honor, because Hamilton was an orphan.

Yeah. I literally, Connor, I was clutching the canned soup aisle. Because I was, I had the wind knocked out. of me. It's time. It's times in places like that where it's like, you didn't put that song on. No, I didn't. And lyrics begin to hit you differently.

Yes. When you haven't, when you weren't like, your body wasn't like, clicking a song versus a song coming on. Uh-huh. Fully different experience with the song. Yeah. So I understand what you're saying. No, yeah, totally.

And so when, you know, Eliza was talking about establishing the first private orphanage in New York City completely like wind knocked out of me. And then ever since then, I've been seeking out the soundtrack. And it is literally. like I don't I genuinely I don't think you'll like it which is just which is fine the SDF but like it is like so like beyond exquisite and I just it like brings me actual pain to know that like we have come to a place where we're making fun of linman mom Miranda instead of acknowledging like the genius that that man is I think a lot of

geniuses have things that you could make fun of about them Yes, but it's gotten to the point where people have stopped taking him seriously. It's hard when he takes photos and he's like this. You're going to catch Patrick on fire and your candles. This is a blamable type of balloon. It's just like you're allowed to be a genius and silly and goofy. Well, then don't expect, yeah, everyone to take you seriously. It's just like, how could you listen to Hamilton and be like, I'm choosing to not take this man seriously?

I guess I got to see it in person because I don't. You know it's fully like filmed and. published on Disney Plus, the entire Broadway production of it. What's a girl got to do to get your eyes on that? I could do it. Do you think? Yeah, I think I could. I'd like it.

Okay, all right. Maybe we could have a few cans. And you know I've got a great movie apartment now. You do. Yeah, and you didn't, a lot of people don't know my curtains are up now. So you can close the curtains and make it a cave. I'm to the point where I want to write a, letter to our local government and say make it make it thunderstorm we have the richest people in the

world sitting in Malibu and in the palisades i know that someone as a has a machine that can make it rain and thunderstorm for like a three-day period make it rain trick it hasn't rained in a really long time it's really affecting my psyche and there is nothing like summer rain specifically a summer thunderstorm. And it just looks like we're not getting one this summer. Because summer's almost over. It's almost 9-11. Wake me up when September ends.

I get that. No, I get it. I get that. September, because September is always like back to school. And so my birthday never got any, never got any flowers. The summer birthday people were such snobs. I'm one.

Well, it was like, everyone coming to my birthday. Okay, cool. We have no, we don't have squat going on. My September 11th birthday was always on a Tuesday. No, but you don't know how much we suffered to not get cupcakes in school. Get a pool party. No, I didn't. I didn't have a pool.

Not rich like you. You could have a pool party because it was summer. I can't just, I didn't just, I didn't have a pool. You could find a pool. Easier said than done. I don't know, man. That's all I got to say about that. But so for the context around the SpongeBob thing, I said it on the on the podcast so many, or I think before, maybe not so many times.

SpongeBob, I had about nine or ten SpongeBob birthdays and the ones that weren't SpongeBob were SpongeBob adjacent. Like I had a slime birthday that's just based on slime. It's kind of crazy now that I had like a Nickelodeon themed birthday with all of the crazy stuff that happened behind the scenes. You can rest easy knowing that SpongeBob. kept his hands where you could see him. He never did a thing wrong. That's true. Yeah.

That's true. Patrick? So you were on the right side of history. That's true. I mean, the slime of it all, all of my friends and I covered in slime. You didn't know. We had no idea. The slime had a deeper meaning.

Yeah. There were layers behind the slime. I never had one theme to anything. Sorry. I wanted a theme because the cake had to be something. The cake had to be. Oh, should I love? these candles. I forgot this is just a

make a wish. Okay, I'm gonna legit make a wish. Tell us what you're wishing for too. It doesn't work like that. No one's gonna wanna eat that cake. I did spit twice. I felt it leave my mouth. If I guess what you wish for, will you tell us? Yeah. Did you wish for two more years? No. Oh my gosh, good idea though. Did you wish for success? Mm-mm. Did you wish for something physical? No. did you wish for okay

okay don't be mean oh my gosh be sweet be sweet to me so I messed up all of the tickets for Max to go to Michigan so having a crisis mode yeah right now what would you mess up about

well a lot of people were trying to help me in my DMs after it came out on our on whatever episode that was that I was like I've got two tickets and they're like you can't you just need to bring him on you might have another seat but it can't be under your name so then i canceled the tickets and i don't even know if i got my refund so you they were saying get him a max wood ticket yeah but he's a middle name he's um from a different land than us they don't do middle names

um but now i have like a panic mode situation that i have to call customer service and like it'd be like I don't know what to do. And then I really am scared that they're going to like start a case number with me. And then I don't know. Like I'll get in trouble down the road. Aren't there pet airlines or a pet airline? They're like brand new. And I don't think that they're like operating yet for all everywhere.

And I'm going to like a very niche. I'm sure they go to somewhere in Texas that's a hub. How about you drop Max off? Interesting. I really want him to come to Michigan. I hear you. but it's just like sometimes he needs to swim in the Great Lakes

He does Aw, he has to Oh my gosh, he's gonna Max would love the Great Lakes You're such a good dad getting him to see In him out of the house Yeah So we can let his hair down

Um This is like a crazy thing I'm about to say But I'm just gonna say it He's been pooping twice now Every one of his walks Which he used to only poop once But I've been fattening him up Good

For Thanksgiving And I don't I still like forget to bring two bags even though we're doing two separate drop-offs during the walk I don't want to know I actually don't want to know what you end up Well it's kind of like a fun game because I like wherever he decides to do the second round two

I've got to like look through it's kind of like a video game and like what can I use to scoop the poop You would think you would just bring like a handful of bags by now Well they're just like they're kind of ugly and they don't that I don't jive with a bunch of plastic in my pocket I don't know I get it it's kind of just like the way I just like don't put out my glasses yeah but I figure it out like sometimes I'll have it to go coffee cup and I'm like or the other day I went and got a juice from Airwan

oh Airwan yes and they were like if you bring this back you get $2 back and I was like I had not known that so then I had but then Max did round two and I had to put it into this clear glass bottle. And so that was a $2 poop that we lost out on. That's giving me like actual hives. Breathe. Well, we had everybody right in.

Do you have anything else that we want to? Hamilton. I feel like I'm good. Yeah. Yeah, I feel like I'm good. I've got so much crap coming up that we won't even be able to. Well, maybe I guess next week we can touch on it. Next week is in the week after September 12th or August.

Oh my gosh. Well, we can just redact that, I guess. Real life next week? So you can talk about it. It already happened. No, because nothing's happening. I'll just have stories. What are you talking about?

I'm going to Michigan, Austin, and New York next week. Okay. So there's nothing you can say because it doesn't happen yet? There's nothing to say. I'm just thinking I'll have a lot of stories and stuff to talk about. When are we convene? Yeah. I think so.

Okay. I want to get into what people submitted. I would love that. Okay, so we asked two questions. Yours was niche hobbies. Yeah. Mine was shower thoughts. Who do you want to start with?

Totally. Let's switch off. Okay. Or should we start with one and do it? Let's see like five of yours. No, let's just do one and one. Okay. Or up to you, I guess.

I don't think it's up to me. I guess it's not. Okay. You go first, though. Okay. I'll just pick one at random. Okay, so I ask people for like niche interests and hobbies. Lying in bars. That's fun, yeah. Yeah, because I think that they should invent a place that you can lay flat, like a flat lay.

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you meant telling lies. How is it spelled Connor? It's totally making up. false truths in a pub you're right oh I was thinking like I would love to lay down

and have a cocktail it's awesome to see where your brain went because I'm aligned with that look at me right now I'm almost horizontal yeah I think they should put beds everywhere I think they should put pods on the street that's just like can't make it home due to exhaustion no worries swipe your car do you have a membership

head on into the bed chamber I'm sure that nothing would go wrong in L.A. with the bedchambers on the street. It wouldn't. Like just like an offshoot of a Starbucks, the bed chamber? What the fucking talking? Like how people use the bathrooms in Starbucks? Oh. Use the bedchamber. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Hop into my bedchamber.

Yeah. And there also should just be more like public restrooms. Yeah. We have this conversation too much. like for two people. I saw a tweet the other day. There's a picture of one of those signs outside of a hot tub. That was like persons who are currently experiencing or have had diarrhea in the past 14 days are not allowed to answer the hot tub. And this person tweeted it and said, I will never be able to use this hot tub. Can I be honest?

That exact joke has been being told for like 10 years. And it's like the same thing. It's like if you're still clapping at the Nicole Kidman AMC commercial, it's, like we have to move on. I had never heard it. You've never seen that one before. To me, that's like, everyone's doing that one.

Man, I guess we have different, um, I think Sarah Silverman did it like 15 years ago. Wow. Yeah. It's like, oh, I literally just saw it last week and I've been telling everyone and everyone's laughing

so hard. No, I, that's one that I see. I'm not kidding, like three times a week on Twitter. It's like, I'll never be able to go swimming.

Oh my God. Yeah. I'm so sorry. No, no, no, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to like a, tack you for that. That's just like one of my like, we're still doing that one, huh?

Oh, Jesus. They're so good. We're still doing that one. Yeah. But I, it is the first time I saw it, I was like, that's awesome and funny. So I get where you're coming from. Yeah. I didn't think, I don't think it's like brilliant, but I was like, oh yeah, that is true because you go back 14 days. You're telling me not even once you had a coffee and had to sprint to the restroom. No, yeah. Sarasoveram was saying that it's anti-Semitism. Okay. So when I told it to someone else, they were like, yeah, someone posted that and said, this is anti-Semitic. And I was like, oh, that's really funny too. Yeah.

Okay, well, I guess maybe we put it to rest here if everyone's okay with that. I do feel good about it. But I do agree that, like, the first time it was funny. Okay, well, one day at a time. One day at a time. Okay. Do you want me to, or no, you go now. Okay.

Okay, so lying in bars. like lying to people in bars. I see. You like doing that too. I love doing that. I do it all the time. Why the fuck us bring guns and they car all the time? This is a shower thought that somebody had.

Okay. Wait, so yours, your letterbox. My letter box. Is shower thoughts. Shower thoughts people have in the shower. These are, these are thoughts that people have had in the shower. In the shower.

Did they name sand sand because it's between the sea and the land? No clue. They like, first of all, brilliant shower thought. Second of all, yeah, they had to have because if that's a coincidence, that's too crazy of a coincidence. Sea and land. But like, I never call it the sea because I'm not from the UK. I call it the ocean. The crossword, in the crossword, they refer to it as the sea all the time.

Is the crossword? But also, you have to know that there are a lot of people from the UK. So, like, that's, that's valid for C to be. But there's more people to be said. Asia than there are from the UK. And what do they call it? Tons of different things because there's multiple languages in Asia. But do you think it means sand or is there another word?

But here's the thing, Connor. I don't know like we're only speaking out the English language right now. Yeah. Oh, good point. Do you know what I mean? Mm-hmm. I do now. Yep.

Language is so nuanced. Sorry, I often forget. Yeah, okay, cool. I think it would be too crazy for that to be a coincidence. Can we go, is that a Googlable thing? Is that a, okay, yeah. My favorite new thing instead of, hey, Bessie is, hey, Google is free. Ooh, shit, okay.

That is like, that is, to have that be said to you is the same as being shot. Google's free. Okay, God forbid I ask your question that you can answer and you don't just answer it. Okay, the word sand was first used as a verb. in the 14th century in the earliest known Okay, is a verb, that's great, but... Honestly, maybe it's a coincidence. But it can't be.

Oh, it has nothing to do with the sea or land but referred originally to unstable ground as near rivers. Most sand-sized material occurs on continents, not along sea shores. No. It comes from the old Dutch, proto-German, Zand. Zond.

Okay, I guess it was a coincidence, but that's a pretty crazy. Ooh, yeah. I mean, good thinking. way to get there all right let me see i have my friend's locations and if they go to a new place i'll look up the value of its or look up its value on zillow i'm doing that all the time too yeah i actually like i will do that if there's somewhere of somebody who i like know and i'm like i'm curious about this person but if they're like somewhere i don't even like i don't even know where they are it doesn't mean anything to me like it shouldn't come as a shock that the

The flavor fantasy vibe is disgusting. Is that the marshmallow one? Is it? Yes. Yeah. What? They could have left that one on the drafts. Really quick.

Really quick. Can we just think about when I'm eating for breakfast? Chocolate chip cookie dough and Mandarin marshmallow. Can I try the chocolate chip cookie dough? I'll have cancer by noon. Don't say that in the space. Just kidding. I'm healthy as an ox.

This is the chocolate chip cookie dough perfect bar. Yeah. That's just peanut butter. I didn't taste any... I taste a lot of peanut butter too. That is a stick of peanut butter. It's a stick of peanut butter. You make sure you can wash that down with maybe some marshmallow drink.

Yeah, do you mind if I add bonus sip of your marshmallow fantasy? Jump in. Jump in. That is so gross and I'm embarrassed and... Sorry, okay. What were we talking about? Oh, Zillow. I have been doing this horrible thing where I opened Zillow like in New York,

just to see what's around me and what's available. And then for the rest of my life, I'll get push notifications for West Village, New York. And that's okay, because I will open them and I will scroll through them. Totally. And I will send them to people in New York. I'll be like, hey, I don't know if you know anyone

looking about this place. It's great and it has an in-unit washer dryer. Which I'm finally like, my place sucks. Obviously, like I'm in a horrible situation right now. Again, my third time in a row being in a horrible, Actually, fourth time in a row.

This is what you need to do. Uh-huh. You need to just, like, wait it out in a place. Like, in this place, you need to wait until a place comes across your desk that is perfect. Because you can find a place that meets all of your requirements. Don't just jump in in the next place. You are right. Because your lease is up.

Wait it out. You are right. And California, you get to go month to month after your lease is out. Exactly. So I need to wait it out. I'll be doing that. In a month to month space. It is super duper unfortunate that the place I'm waiting it out. and is the way that it is.

Is the way that it is. Yeah. But it's okay. Because I got, I cleaned, it's super clean right now and I'm like, okay, maybe it's fine. You know, besides those two cabinets I can't use. Yeah. Which I literally just don't use them. Which sucks.

You should be able to use your cabinets. Yeah. Without feeling like a little bit lightheaded. Mm-hmm. You know. God, yeah. Wait, should I play the, the video of my landlord? Yes.

Yes. Should I play it? Okay. I want to give some context. So basically, I had done like an emergency situation to my landlord saying, hey, I got some DIY mold test kits. I swabbed everything, a lot of mold, a lot of active mold in these cabinets. Not loving this. I didn't know, by the way, that you could do what you did. Yeah. With the swapping on your own, DIY swapping. I, I, I, I, I swabbed, you get a bunch of petri dishes, petri, petri dishes. You swab it with what looks, it's just a really, it's a sterile Q-tip, swabbed it, put it in. Holy moly? Like the less I know the better by Tame and Paula, because it was, it was too much to handle. It was too hot to handle.

Harry Jazzy style. And so I have her come over and I'm like, hey, check this out, whatever. She brings, you know, a can of spray paint. Yep. I figured it was probably like mold, right? Nope, white. And then I was like, all right, this is not manageable. And I pulled out my silverware, which is like in a drawer above the cabinet that's been contaminated.

And I said, there's look at these, like this, it's black silverware. There's like visible, I don't want to say the word spores. Oh, oh, yes. Spores. and she responded with this. I'm gonna put that in dishwasher after we... Well, I was just gonna spray vinegar on it. Vinegar's supposed to be really good

and then you can also put it in the dishwasher. I'm probably gonna bleach it, honestly. I hadn't seen that until today. Okay. I don't want you to touch that either. I'm not because, um, like mold honestly grows everywhere. Mold is in the world.

the air anywhere, but it's the, if it gets to a level of being harmful, that's a different thing. I just don't want my forks, you know. I totally agree with you. I totally agree with you. By the way, like, I'm like saying, I don't. So her whole thing is like she doesn't like chemicals, but I'm like chemicals were created and are necessary to eradicate a mold infestation. that's their purpose

but she she keeps bringing vinegar over to my house and spraying everything down with vinegar because it has properties similar to like things with chemicals but like it smells like shit like my whole apartment and she she's like I'm just where's my vinegar

where's my vinegar I'm like don't spray vinegar on my silverware don't spray vinegar on my silverware you can hear the video dows all my silver and vinegar yeah it's time to move yeah it's time to move Yeah. It's time to move. I didn't know you were doing the wicker shoes today. Yeah.

Love it. Yep. Yep. It's the closest thing I can do to keep it demure and professional in here. Oh, I love that you're thinking of us. I'm embarrassed that I said demure. There is a large bug on the cake. Are you ready for the next shower thought? Yeah. Yeah. Hit me with the shower thought. How does dry cleaning even work? That's the whole that's the whole one. Uh-huh. Dry cleaning, I think, means like, dry cleaning is...

If you could describe how it works. Dry cleaning works by... I'm almost getting into F is for friends that. Dry cleaning is... How you say. Dry cleaning is... Hmm. Well...

I don't know. I think dry cleaning means it doesn't go into like a jug of water. It's definitely a spray. It's not being soaked. But is it a wet spray? Yeah, I think it's like steam and stuff. But I don't think you soak the clothes. You're not.

I could see it being like a dry shampoo base. Can we look up how dry cleaning works? Can we watch a video of a dry clean? Oh, heavens to bet. Okay, look at this. Can I really quickly before you even watch this, brain is broken now, like at this point in my life. From the mole? If I don't click watching 2X speed on something, like I cannot get through it.

Yeah. I don't know if that's an option on YouTube. Okay, we can do 2X. Oh my God, there's nothing dry about it. Oh my God. There's nothing dry about it. Oh my God. Some people might call it organic because it comes from the earth.

It's great and safe on clothes. Everyone thinks that it's a dry process and the clothes get hit with dry cleaning rays. It very much is a wet process Just without water So we use Okay Pause that for me for a second I'm sorry

Walk me through What is wet that isn't water Oh any Anything that's wet Coffee Sprite Yeah okay But all those things have water in them It's water base

I can't think of anything wet That doesn't have water in it Is lava wet? Oh They could be taking their Close to the lava base They could be getting dry clean At the volcano

They could be going to the natural springs. They're heading over to Pompeii. Okay, I didn't consider that. Thank you. So those are soaked. Or are they? They need to make sure all the buttons are intact. Need to make sure the lining is sewn. At this point, we'll remove any excess

lint. It's going to take a little trip. Pressing is nothing more than steaming the garment and then either blowing some air through it or vacuuming the steam out of it, which sets the press. Here's, but here's what I'm confused about. Like cashmere and wool. What was the question? Dry cleaning. What about?

What it's happening there. Oh, this is not helping me at all. No, but like you can't put like cashmere and wool and whatever that like wet thing was. Wet with the absence of water. Can you? Or is it like an oil base? Oil's wet. Oil is wet.

The opposite of water. Yeah. How? Some say the dry cleaning cashmere can be harmful. The fabric, the chemicals and dry cleaning fluids. If you do choose to dry clean cashmere, some cleaners may say they have special techniques to protect the fabric. Others only recommend doing so in emergency and not routinely. I don't wash my sweaters.

I have stains on everything that. I just air them out for like four months at a time. I'm just sad I had this pair of cashmere sweats. I'll think about these. I remember your cashmere sweats I'll think about these fondly And it makes me You know when you lose something

And it just like kills you Every time you think about it These sweats and they discontinued them And they were really really nice From seven for all mankind Oh they were so comfy I there's not a day that goes by Where I don't think about freckles

My snow leopard That I love Yeah He's a beanie baby Damn Like where could he be That's a story that's waiting to be I'm thinking he's in a landfill, unfortunately.

He could also be in another home. I don't think Beanie babies are rehomed so much because of, like, lice or louse. Heckles did not have louse. Freckles was well-groomed and well-taking care of. You know, that... Freckles was, like, hodgepodge's, like, ride or die, which is so sad. You know that whole thing that I went through with spiders about how it's like, oh, you're going to kill me because I'm small.

Like that's not my fault that I'm just small. Mm-hmm. Like, what about lice? They're harmful. They're actively harming. Okay. But like lice didn't ask to be born a lice, a louse, a luce. I get it, but like in terms of the food chain, like, I think we rank like higher in our, like, comfort is more important than their life.

Mental capass. Our comfort is more important than your life. Yes. To the lice. Yeah. Wow Wow Yikes

This could be my last episode Ooh This could be my last episode Have you ever had life? Nope Neither I wanted it so bad though It's weird that I haven't

I didn't get it because I went to camp for 10 years Same That's like such a place you get lice Because everyone's in such close quarters And we're like being gross to be honest. You're sweating all day. Here's the thing. There were always life's outbreaks at camp and I was always one of the few that never got it.

And I was so pissed because I would have loved to be sent home. Was it because your hair was dirty? I guess. Yeah, they like clean hair. I know. But I wash my hair every day. That can actually make your hair. Dirty?

Not dirty, but like greaseier. Yeah. No, I have my hair is grease to the guy. You know that. You could ring me out and run your car in an emergency. Yeah. But I don't know. I'm making up a lot of facts along the way.

And I'm not. See on the other side. Yeah. But maybe that's the reason I think, well, I didn't, I was never around like a lice outbreak. But I've said this before. I'll say it again. I did get swine flu that one year.

That was crazy. I tried so hard because I was at overnight camp. and all I wanted to do was be sent home. My brother who, like, loved camp still works there to this day. That's, like, his government job. Yeah. Got it. I took his cup, licked every inch of the cup to try to infest myself with swine.

Didn't get it until the day after I got home from camp. And he got sent home, like, during. We were sneaking one of our friends got it, and he was sneaking us meds out because of some of us were feeling sick. We were trying not to go to the infirmary. But two times in my life, I remember my mom saying I looked good. One was after swine flu and the second one was after mono when I lost 15 pounds. Look good.

You've been running? I've had mono for three weeks. Can't keep any food down. Yeah. I did have a great jaw line though. Yeah. Okay, my turn. Hello.

Okay. Wait, I want to find... This one, like, D-S-D-F in a big way, okay? Okay. I collect hundreds of caterpillar eggs and turn my apartment into a butterfly factory every summer. Woo. I used to collect caterpillars. Caterpillars.

In a cup. Yeah. But that's a little different, isn't it? Hundreds of eggs? Here's the thing about. about and I don't this is probably a phenomenon that people know like it's probably called something but when I see a couple frogs I'm like oh one frog two frog red frog brew frog but when I see a hundred frogs I get freaked out you know what that's called a murder that's crows what's a group of what's hundreds of frogs no not that what I Connor 100% forget what I was saying in the middle of saying it

What is it called when I like you don't like seeing a lot of something I don't know what I was like I like seeing one mushroom but seeing like well depending on where I see it I think I just wanted to hear myself talk but I do want to apologize Wow that's like an incredible like self-awareness W in the chat I like I would love to see one mushroom I think it's cool It's like a little bit hypnotic in front I get it.

And like fairyland. A hundred mushrooms freaked out. It's interesting how. One caterpillar, cute, cutesy, a hundred run for the fucking hills. And you feel the same way about butterflies? Yep. I felt that way because of the episode of SpongeBob where Sandy inside of her dome, inside of her mask, it turns it around and it's a close up of like a real life butterfly

what she's seeing. And I've never been in the same since. Oh my God. I don't remember that. It's like, you know when SpongeBob would like for a millisecond get like very, very like it's no longer like an animated cartoon. It was like very detailed and kind of gross for like splits. Yes. It would turn around and it was like that.

Okay. I'll have to look that up. But you know what's interesting that I was just thinking about? What? You know how like we have developed beauty standards as a society that it's just like where did those even come from? We've developed them. They're not just like objective. And I've always thought like, oh, I wish.

I could like be in the animal kingdom and see what their beauty standards are because I'm sure they have them but they all kind of look the same to us. That's not true. Yeah. Like it's crazy that we actively think like oh, butterflies are beautiful but not lice. Right. So we have put our beauty standards actually onto the animal kingdom. And but maybe in the animal kingdom like the like ants are like holy shit that louse is so fucking hot and that butterfly is like a fucking grenade. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, like, we are putting that on to them. We don't know if that's even...

The biggest, the biggest evolutionary benefit that an animal can have is being cute to a human. Yeah. Isn't that crazy? It is like they could be, the cute animals to us could be so fugly to the animals within the kingdom. You're right. You're really on to something. Yeah. You're not going to see another podcast like us.

I also, the other day, I was out and I'm sitting with Maxx. at the park and I look in the flower bed. There's three caterpillars. They're all chilling. It's a nice day. Sun's out. They're all eating a leaf. And this butterfly flies up and just starts like kind of landing on the side and then he lands on the leaf that they're eating. And I couldn't help but wonder.

These three caterpillars are probably like, bro, didn't you graduate? Like what are you doing hanging out with underclassmen? You know, what are you doing? Don't you have a job? Go pollinate something. Do you think they even know? They must be like, hey, like, we don't care that you're back. No, I'm saying like they might not even know that's what, like, that there's a relation between them.

They might think they're a completely different species. Like, do they have the cognitive ability to be like, we're going to turn into that? I guess low-key, it's impossible to know. Low-key. But a part of me wants to think that it's in, like, in bug's life when that caterpillar was like, I know one day I'm going to be a butterfly. Right. But we don't know if that's a reaction. You're right because it is an animated children's movie.

Yeah. Me basing my, my, me, me, personifying a worm and then with the facts that I know from a Pixar movie. Oh my God. Remember wormy? Wormy. Ogh. Connor had a son before Max that no one likes to talk about. So I opened my dishwasher one day during COVID.

And there's a freaking little inchworm in there. And the dishwasher had been run. That was the weird part And he was like on a plate And he was squirming around And it's hot in there Yeah See this is only

This is a climate only Satan could Could withstand And I Seamy Steamy And a lot of people don't know this Because they can't They don't think this far ahead

But steam is actually way hotter Than any temperature of water could be Because it has actually advanced Past that State into gas. Thank you for letting this know. Many people don't think that far ahead.

But some wormies in there, this little inchworms in there with all of this hot steam. And I pick him out, I put him in a jar, and I have him in this jar, and he's getting bigger, getting bigger. And then all of a sudden, chrysalis. And he's in there, and I'm like, oh, it's exciting, exciting, exciting. He starts to hatch. He's the fucking scariest moth.

scary scary scary scary scary scary I literally opened the jar put it in the trash bag so he could like get it out and then took the trash out bye wait he was still in the trash bag when you took him out I left it open so I like dumped the while long he's on top of the trash

just like kind of left it open and I went out and he had gone wherever the hell I assumed too hell wow it's how quickly you could stop loving your son I didn't have yeah no every because and

There it is. There's the human thing. If a moth like that had come at my face, punch a hole through its body and face. But wormy, I pulled him out of the depths and I was like, come close to my, come close to my chest. Let's do skin on skin. Damn. That is like so sad. And really, especially coming from someone who taught us all about the spider of it all. Well, there's scary spiders too that I'm like, I don't trust you.

What was his only crime was being ugly? I don't know. I'm getting like that. I'm feeling like I can feel stuff on me now. Well, actually, this actually brings up a good point that someone wrote in for a shower thought. Oh, hit me. About water temperatures. What about water temperatures?

What temperature does water reach where it starts melting your skin off? Water can mill your skin off? You can burn alive in water, like boil. You can boil alive. What temperature does human skin boil? Am I supposed to know that? No, I guess we can ask Google. 212 degrees Fahrenheit can cause third degree burns in seconds.

Well, water at 140 degrees Fahrenheit can cause third degree burns in five seconds. How hot can we get our water on a stove? Well, it steams. So what's the number? 310? Or am I making that up? 212. So you could access, complete third degree burns.

You could boil herself alive on your stove. Isn't it crazy that there are just so many things, like, right in front of us at all times that could lead to our death? Being in a car, taking a step across the street, boiling water, you could just fall. Something could just go wrong. Yeah, you could also choke on a grape in your apartment by yourself. That's like the freakyest thing to me. There should be, have we talked about how there should be like more protocols put in place for choking? Like it's crazy that we don't necessarily know how to save ourselves if we're choking.

I want to wear a life alert. Like I can't believe those are just marketed to old people and not to young people who live an apartment by themselves. Choking like it wouldn't do anything. You'd be dead by the time someone got there. I don't know. I feel like in some towns like where I live, I feel like if you call the place they're there in like two seconds. What are you looking at? Is your pants ripped?

Yeah. Is that your leg? That is my leg. Hello, Brooke. How are you? That's great. Give me a kiss, Bookie. Yeah, that's my leg.

Yay. Why your pants ripped? Why your leg out? Why your leg out? See, like, I balanced out me wearing clothes-toed shoes with my full-blown thigh. With more of, like, a slit. an open slit. Yeah, I like a little airflow.

Sue me. It's all good. I'm a brother. So, good thing we got the boiling water question out of the way. 212 was the answer.

Someone answered, I was like, what are your niche interest and hobbies? They said thoughts in the shower. Thank you. I do want to say a lot of people wrote in,

I want to read off some of the top answers. One, researching the Mormon religion. So interesting. Yeah, I think that that's like an easy deep dive for a lot of people and I think it's probably interesting. Two, collecting stamps, which like, I get that. Like, I get that. That's like little pieces of art.

I want so badly to have a collection. Yeah. Collecting is interesting. I don't really want anything that I collect to not be on display. Do you know what I mean? Totally. Like all my rocks and things that I collect. But how fun would it be to have a binder?

See, that's where you lose me because I think a lot of these people were like, Like I love scrapbooking. I love this. I love that. If I had stamps, I would do that thing that people do where they get like a resin tray and they have like match books and they put it in. You can't get them. I think, well, I don't need matches really.

I just want to like the art on the box is cool. Art Deco. Yeah, but I would want to touch them and play with them. I love organizing. So I'd want to reorganize. Like I guess in a way my books are kind of a collection. Yeah. So I like I love like I change the way my bookshelf looks every day.

Yeah, that's cool. That makes sense to be. I like stuff that could be on display. I like that. I think that's cool. I get that. I think collecting is awesome too. I love collecting anything.

I've always collected stuff. But I think that it's like, when does it become hoarding? It doesn't if it's like a very specific collection. I think hoarding is when you just keep everything. But if you're just keeping one specific type of thing because you collect it, that's collecting. It's okay? yeah i used to collect pencils

yeah that's the end of the story colored pencils I don't know it's just been as a story it's been passed down do you want to hear all of these ones that this person wrote in niche interest slash hobbies

listening to an old voice friends listening to an old friend's voice message now that me and him don't speak anymore thinking about every interaction that I've had with said ex friend and how he made me feel loved thinking about how said ex friend ghosted me after said expressions of love thinking about every flaw in my personality and how to fix it

and wrapped all of those up with peeling the dead skin off my foot sorry those are all from the same person in a row that is that's so sad to me yeah like maybe you have athlete's foot no not that oh the friend part yeah that's that too I would be really hard to have that I think so I'm my sympathies go out to this person and mine and mine yeah yeah I do wish I had access to the text from one of my first couple phones like my flip phones I would die for my white chunker of a MacBook to be available to me because I saved all of the I chat transcriptions that I had with my crush and a full in a full If I could get that and thankfully like I did transcribe some of them word for word into my journal

So I do still have like some hard copies but if I could go back and read all of those that would that could literally end up in That could be a book of just like this is unacceptable type of behavior and I'll never get mine you know in my old flip phones I would save every girl's number as like a bunch of random letters and and uh sent like a simi-hole and then like a like a slash and I would remember who was who and I don't know and all the guys were shaped. What was the reason? I guess like I didn't want my parents to know that I was like talking to girls on my phone. And but so, but all the guys were

guys names and then all the girls were like random symbols and numbers and stuff. I remember I had this old phone and it was no brand. It was from Sprint. No brand. It was like maroon. It was Sprint. But it wasn't like a razor and it wasn't like a and it was like a Motorola or like a blue

Oh, it was just a sprint piece. It was just like like a, yeah, just like a phone. Yeah. And it had like a front screen. It was flip. And had a front screen and it would pop up with like a preview of like who text you. But it would have like this little beacon on it like Great Gatsby looking across the river.

And it would hone red, like a little red light. And he had a new message. And it literally like would make my heart flutter. What? When you did get into the branded. phones? Which ones did you have? I had a sidekick. Me too. Yeah. But it didn't,

it just... Oh, mine flipped. I'm so jealous. I didn't get that. No, I didn't have a sidekick. I had the envy. The envy. Yeah. Chocolate or whatever. No. The chocolate was a complete... That was like odd. That one slid up, but it was more of vertical.

I had one phone. I guess I had so many phones. I had one phone that on one side was like, looked like an iPod. And you just literally like flipped it over and it was a phone like this with like full-blown. Bring back fun phones like that. And like everyone had a different phone. Isn't that weird? There's no reason for my iPhone not to slide.

Oh my God. It was it was so fun. Yeah, we all had different ones and like you could tell a lot about a person by the type of phone they had. I had a, I had a Blackberry. Think about that. Honor, I did too. I was obsessed with getting BBLs. Yeah.

I understand. Those were so fun and I was always my Facebook status like put your BBL. No, no, I caught you the same time

you caught yourself. BBMI. BBM? BBM? BBM. BBM? BBM. BBM. BBM. Yeah. Yeah, I was obsessed with collecting BBMs even if I like barely knew the person. I was like, give me your BBM now or I'll fucking kill myself.

I remember too. The last, me and my dad would always go see all the Pirates of the Caribbean movie. and the last one came out. It was on my birthday. And he was like, we're going to go see the movie. And then you're going to go get your first smartphone. Wow, that's a great day.

Oh, my God. I was so excited. And we did. And I was like a tech. Like I knew all the specs and everything. Like I did all my research. And at time, iPhones were dumb phones. They were like dumb.

And the smartest phone you could get was at the best camera. It had the best like, like, I don't even know what else besides the camera I was really looking for. But I went and got an Android. That's my first, yeah, smartphone. But that's fine. It was fine. It was great. Until they made Instagram.

They made Instagram. And they didn't make it for, they only made it for Apple. They didn't make it for Android. So I was logging in on my friend's phones and posting pictures of like the sunset. And then like going over to my. stupid phone like but we weren't looking we weren't needing to check our Instagram all the time it was like I just want to I just want to create art you know I was definitely late to having an iPhone too because I was so obsessed with my BBMs I understand there was a game on Blackberry too that was

yeah brick breaker oh my god brick breaker oh my god we're like we've gone too too far like bring back brick breaker brick breaker BBMs sliding phones it's all The original Tomagotchi games, not any of these new evolution tomaguchi games. It's almost like I want my iPhone, kind of like I need like a car to get to work, but then I want like a fun sports car for like, you know, the weekends, like a fun little Blackberry. Yeah. And it's like you can't get.

Do you remember the sound? You can't find Brickbreaker anywhere. Not to sound like only 90s kids will understand. Like I really hate going that route, but like, remember the sound that the BlackBerry's buttons used to make? Oh my God. Did you get chills? I just got chills. It made me like, yeah, he.

That is literally like when you type the word click, clack. That's it. Yes. Oh my gosh. It's like, it's like you almost like can feel it in your teeth. Have you seen those ASMR keyboards? Yeah. Very similar.

I need one. But the buttons on the BlackBerry were very small. You went into put them in your mouth and Ethan. They were petite. They like felt like. nerds. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I guess we'll do another. Do you want to do one of yours? Sure. Um. I'll just say this one. We don't have to use it at all. Harvesting the lent for my husband's belly button and collecting it in a bag. What was yours? High school musical one stole the

entire pot of grease to a tea and no one's talking about it. Oh my God. Oh, shoot. Not really. Did it not? It's like definitely kind of like a spin off. But like, like, There was no school play in Greece, which was like the focal point of high school musical. There was no basketball team in Greece. But it is like the same genre of like high school, like smart girl and jock guy. He's not even a jock. He's a grease bird. It's also it was.

Her Thunderbird. What is Danny? I don't know, man. What is Danny at Thunderbird? That's the car. He's a greaser? Tea bird. And she's a pink lady.

Oh, is the Thunderbirds? Um, should we look up parallels between the two and maybe we're not seeing something? It is like so insane, like kind of taking a step back, thinking of how Danny and Sandy were supposed to be 17. If you take a step back. I know, I know. How old were the actors actually when they were playing those roles? And you know that one man with like.

the really tight curls who is objectively 48. John Travolta was 23. That's not as bad as I was saying. He was an old 23. Olivia was 29. Rizzo was 33. Kenneke was 27. Wow.

John Travolta. But do you know the one young man I'm talking who's actually not young at all who I'm speaking of? Michael Tucci. Wow, he was only 31. Look up Michael Tucci Greece. Okay. This man being in high. school? Yeah, that's

What? Wait a minute. Michael Tucci. Can you click on Michael Tucci today? Did Michael Tucci Are you have? Right the music. Did, can you look up Michael Tucci's Spring Awakening? I think I I don't this might, I don't think this is right. Is there anything? Never mind. Sorry, there's a man named Michael who produced Spring Awakening. No relation. No relation at all. And that's okay. Yeah. Um, my sister texted me. Michael Mayer, I'm thinking of the director. Forgive me. He just looks like him because I was watching the spring awakening documentary last night.

Anyway, your sister texted you. Three minutes ago and said, like, ask me a question. And then just texted me, hello, question, right, question mark, question mark. Yeah. It's an, I was like, oh my God. It's been, there's an emergency because she said, hello, I checked. hey, when do you get into Michigan? Three minutes ago.

Yeah. Should I do one? We can actually, we can wrap with this one if you, if that's okay. It is. I do want to quickly say off the record that I just opened my Instagram to check for the questions. And I had a picture from some random follower that I like answered where my hat was from. And it was a picture of his penis. You're lying.

Nope. Are you a little shaken? I'm a little shaking Can I see Nothing else in the photo Nothing else Let me see It's not there anymore

It was like a like an expiring Oh like in the Question box It was just like a It said play and I clicked play Don't ever click play Well I don't know

I wasn't expecting that I'm sorry I understand that that's it It's never easy to digest No I still okay Switching back into this question box

I still want you and I to get into some hobby that like we have both of us have zero interest in at all at this time like this person said I'm really into Formula One I wake up at 6 am for the races I love the drivers, went to a race and loved it I don't know if Formula 1 is

for me Our speed Yeah Um but like I don't hockey or something We could get into like

A season where it's like Some sort of like lake or river hobby like collecting newts I meant like a sport that we could both watch Oh you weren't thinking new collecting No I mean I love that I love the idea of nuke collecting

I don't think or like turning over rocks in the creek I want to get into that I've been dying to get into that With you brook I love tide pools I love riverbeds I love turning over rocks I love turning over rocks I want to turn over rocks with you. Except when there's like a collection of really disgusting bugs under them, which is frequently.

But, um, listen, man, I said F1 and then you should, I'd love to turn over some rocks in the creek, in the creek after the, after work. Um, but I'm talking about like a sport or a show or something where we could have a vested interest. I guess the Golden Bachelorette is about to start. Oh yeah. I think we should do that. Yeah, we should do that.

We should have like a bracket. Brack. Yeah. Okay. Is it just me or is that perfect bar going to your head? No, I think it's my marshmallow cocktail. Well, I only had the perfect bars and I think that's going to my head is what I'm saying. Okay.

I meant our head. Our collective head. Yeah. I think I have one more that I can't find, but a lot of people said they make miniatures out of like clay and stuff, which I used to love clay, love clay. Used to be a huge clay guy. I am a huge clay guy. I haven't found. I haven't been.

in a room with clay in a while. And that's our invisible string. Truly, I love clay. But someone said they like making miniatures out of clay because... And then we could collect them too. It satisfies their God complex, which brings me back to Spy Kids and what's his face? Junie? No, that evil doctor.

Oh, Thumb guy? No, not Thumb guy. The man with all the miniature animals that he moved around on that... Was that the second Spy Kids? I think it's the first. I'm getting them blurred. That was also a movie that I would go see in theaters. Oh, that was awesome.

It wasn't Donagin giggles. It's the island. That's Spy Kids 2. And it's not him either. It's not Fegan Flop. No, Fegan Flop is one. Do you think you're talking about Spy Kids 3? Scientists with small animals?

Spy Kids. I guess it's Romero. It's the guy that's in all of the Adam Sandler movies. Steve Bouchemmy Steve Bouchemmy, thank you Steve Bouchemey's on all the Adam Sandler movies He said do you think God never comes down to earth Because he's scared of what he's created

That was like the deepest That's stuck with you I don't remember Steve Bouchemmy and it's my kids He's the guy with all the animals I don't remember that Was that in the first one? Oh this is the that's the scene that has always affected me most Really for me it was the microwave

That makes the burger Yeah that was good too Look at all the little animals He like can move them around too. I said this image is digging something. I always wanted like a little shark in like a bowl. How about my fish? No, it's not the same as having like a legit like full grown animal with all of,

instead of like a little fish, like you little twirp to work. I want to have Great White in a little bowl. Did you see the Great White in Malibu yesterday? Yep. I was in Malibu over the weekend swimming in the water. And by the way, Great White's, like, don't just, like, pop in. It was in the area. He was making a home for himself.
