I'll call out really quickly. Can I floss my back molar really quick? You may. We are recording, yes? Yes. One thing I love about me, well, first of all, I'm wearing new pants. Awesome. They look pretty.

Thanks. Last week, I was sweating so much between, my tits that I couldn't wear pants. So I was, I was below the belt. You're sweating so much between your tits that you couldn't wear pants? Well, because I couldn't take off my shirts or something had something's got to give. That is, Brooke, that is our motto going into Q2. Something's got to give.

I completely, I've been saying that a lot recently, actually. What happened? After any inconvenience, something has got to give. Something's got to give. And I'm not talking about me. I'm talking about something else has got to give. I'm not ready to give right now. Something else has to completely.

I'm not giving. I'm ready to receive. I'm ready to receive. I'm ready to receive. I'm open to receiving. Connor? Giving more an outside thing that's been happy that needs to happen. I'm on these.

I've never been more on the same page as you. Yeah. I'm feeling really aligned with you as well too. Go get your flosser. Oh, yeah. Well, I think they're, I fear they're packed away in my, my larger suit, my larger away suitcase, which is the size of a full-sized bed. I think that I could get, I think I could get like a camping size mattress into that suitcase.

Awesome. And that's not even sponsored. Listen, bitch, something's got to give. So are you going to floss your back molar or not right now? No, I'm giving up on that dream. It was a pipe dream anyways. Okay, well, just to flag my teeth really quickly, I'm going to have a list for the next few months. and that that's that is what it is I wish something would give I don't think it's going to in this situation um but please please note that I do have a list because I have my new aligners in and my gap is actively closing so it's good news that I have a lisp so I hope that I hope that

you appreciate that as much as I do lists are kind of it I have always loved a little list I always thought it was cute it's probably a little less cute coming through your mic, it maybe loses the charm of seeing it come out of the person. Because I like when you can see their like mouth move in a certain way that creates the Lisp, you know? Yeah, I do know. But that is what it is. And I'm not allowed to put the white paint in this and these.

So you can see the gap through them if you look hard enough. But it's fine. I don't care. Just mind the gap, as they say, overseas. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Just do me be able to that. So back to the something that has to give, if you don't mind me circling back to that juncture, I have something's happened spiritually to me, been laid upon me spiritually.

Something shifted. Okay. Something gave. Something gave. Or something's giving currently. But something's. something's happening, something's shifting, something might be giving as we speak. I've been really being, I've, I'm having been affected in real time by like graffiti and poetry. And, and like I look at the ground and I'm looking at this thing and it's like, I read this saying and I'm like, oh, yeah, that was made for me. That was, that was given to me.

That's something that has to be given. One, I read and I was like, I said like, I don't need your drugs. I just need your high fashion. I was like, oh, what is that? That's an ad for Addison Ray's new album. So that was not really written in the stars as much as on the ground. I love that you're being profoundly moved by the written word. I am.

I am being moved. And I think it's because I'm moving so much, both literally, and I'm so open to being, to receiving as well. And I've also been experiencing, maybe my awareness is really heightened right now, I've been experiencing really prolonged eye contact with animals recently. Did you see what I posted about how to tell your pet that you love them? I must have missed it. I don't know. When did you post? Prolonged eye contact with a slow blink.

So I've been doing that for a week straight because I've been traveling so much just looking at John and doing a really. really slow blink for minutes at a time. So that's what you can do when you're doing the eye contact with your animals. And then really, yes. Almost, and I would even keep your eyes closed for a second or two once. Yeah. That's what I've been doing. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah, I'll start implementing that into my day to day. But like squirrels and stuff? Squirrels. even some people, even some people. Humans are animals too. Humans are animals.

I had one yesterday that I wish that I could have talked to someone about it because I almost feel like I dreamed it. It wasn't like eye contact. It was like a craning of the neck. And this was an older gentleman with long hair and glasses. It was impossible to miss. And I want to wear a GoPro on my head at all times. I want it on because there are things happening to me right now.

that are making me feel like I might be the subject of one of those shows where, like, this person starts to notice things happening around them and then they end up being. Percy Jackson, yeah, or Truman Show. That would also, yeah. Percy Jackson. Percy Jackson, where he ends up having powers. So you think you're about to develop powers? Powers or something, or someone's going to kill me?

One of those. You know every morning I wake up and tests to see five powers. what do you do to test to see if you have power? See if I can look at something and see if I can make it float. Oh, like telekinesis. Yeah. I don't know what I'm going to end up having, but I did. Or I'll try to turn off my alarm with just thinking. Like thinking, like hopefully it'll turn off soon. It does turn off. I think turn off. I also think turn off. But in a way, it is kind of magic that my brain is telling my hand to do that. Oh. So like your hand is your telekinesis. Like you're moving your hand. But that's the thing about like magic. If like we didn't know if we weren't used to anything that happens in this world, we would think it was magic. Like the very thought of your brain telling your body to do things and them doing it, that's magic to someone who has never experienced those, to an alien who's never experienced those things. You have just shifted so many perspectives that I have on my end because that's so true because we are really just our brain, right? I don't know.

That scares me so bad. Like we could we could both. You my brain and your brain could be just in a vat next to each other on a shelf and we could still have a podcast technically like well that will we would need like a vessel to get the words out yeah they could probably get they could probably use some sort of like electrodes but yeah I don't understand how the technology hasn't been invented yet where you just put like a human brain in a robot and like keep that person alive. I have the craziest question for you. And you're brain. I think this all the time and I try not to think about it too. It freaks me out. But if you're like, like, I don't know who to say.

Like if your sister passed on. And they're like, well, we have her brain and we can put her brain and like you can still talk to her and stuff. But it's like legit, just her brain. Like would you be like, I love you? What? If she was just her brain. brain like she you could still talk to her like she was still technically like sentient would she be able to talk to me yeah like they could yeah but it'd be like my sister in a different in a robot it'd be like you're like

looking at say like her brain and then like her spinal cord on a pole or something on wheels bob woman yeah basically yeah yeah would i want that or would i prefer that to death would you be like i love you sis yeah of course But I would be I would doubt that she would want to live that way, you know? Right. Yeah. Honestly, though, I probably would. If like my options are like eternal nothingness and just living with my spinal cord. But I still be able to watch TV?

Yeah. Sure. Then yeah. I read the best book the other day about this girl who's just like so obsessed with the concept of death and the fact that she's to be dead one day. And it's all she thinks about. And she sends herself like into complete spirals like every other second. And it was just like truly I've never read a book where I'm like, oh, I have thought this but never been able to like put those thoughts into words. It was really a powerful experience. And it's really short. Maybe you could read it. It's called everybody in this room will someday be

dead. No, that's not really. Well, I'm recommending it to everyone. It was so good. That's not really up my personal alley. Do you think it'd make you more anxious? Yeah, randomly a book called Every Everybody's going to be dead one day does make me feel. But sometimes it's so comforting to know that everyone else is like having the same thoughts as you. And like you're not spiral alone. I would like to remove that from my brain and have like that would be the part of my brain that I would like lobotomize. A little off the top, please. I get that.

It's not it's not a great. I wish you just knew what would happen. Okay. Well, here's I'm going to move right. I have to. See, this is not fun for me. Okay. Um, not that it has to be fun for me, but like, I already said, I've probably not for anyone.

So I already said, I was going to have a different type of gas leak today, but now I'm having like the original form of gas leak, which like panic attack. Pick something else. Okay. I'll just tell you this. So this morning I had to walk and buy a new laptop because mine just like shit the bad, of course. I'm coming to you live from my brand new laptop, my brand new MacBook. Um, I walked over. first I walked over to the Apple store where I was greeted by the geniuses.

And one thing about the geniuses is they're going to let you know that they're a genius. They are going to let you know that they hold all of the power of your professional life behind the desk and wherever in the backrooms where they keep all the devices. And who knows what happens in those genius backrooms? One thing I know is that all those geniuses are hooking up. I just know I can feel the energy in the Apple store. they are hooking up with each other. They're hooking up across levels of their career.

I think bosses are hooking up with interns. I don't know if Apple Geniuses have interns or prodigies or whatever they call when you intern for a blacksmith, whatever that is. Protégé? Prodigy, yeah. But what is it called when you're like a blacksmith and you have like a little boy as he's like shadowing you. Apprentice?

Apprentice. I don't know if you. Blacksmith specifically. That's who I think of as having an apprentice. It's like a blacksmith. Okay. Did we still have like apprenticeships or no? They're internship.

I mean, I don't think it would have been called an internship in the olden days. No, I mean like now they're internships, right? That's what we've- Of blacksmiths? Are there blacksmiths? Yeah. What technically does a blacksmith do? Smith's metal, like hammers it.

Maybe his job has been replaced. by a machine, make tools? I guarantee we have at least one listener who's a blacksmith who's going to come for our jugs. I mean, obviously no one does it better than a person, but it's probably like maybe been, there's probably less than there used to be. Let's just say that. Hi, professional blacksmith here.

So. Hi, bestie, blacksmith here. So what you said was really deeply offensive to the blacksmith community and our apprentices. I feel horrible Oh my God I actually the rings that I wear every day Were made by hand A young man in Santa Monica

And their metal Scratch and Stone Okay yeah he was blacksmithing those Yeah he was blacksmithing TF out of them And he did a good job But yeah so I guess like that wasn't made by a machine Okay So blacksmiths are alive and well

Yeah anyways I'm at the Apple store I dared, Brooke, I said I dare you to go to Tangent Town USA on everything we talk about today and we're doing it. I agree. I love it. So basically I go to the Apple store and I'm like I need to get a new laptop. Mine is mine. Well, no.

At first I was like, what's going on with my thing? And they're like, ooh, yeah, this is this one's probably. I don't think this is like necessarily. we can ship it in and I was like no I need one in like three hours like I need a laptop and they're like yeah we'd have to turn that we'd have to ship it in he goes when did you get this and I said like three and a half four years ago he goes oh yeah I mean it's time for a new computer for sure I go when did things only last since when do things last four years only I feel like my dad has owned things for his whole life no like Apple's like pretty open about the fact that like you're toast after a few years which is like an interesting business model to be like vulnerable about it. out. They go, oh, yeah, sorry, Bestie. You're going to have to drop $1,500 today. I was like, oh, hang on. I got, like, I still, in my head, I was like, this is a new laptop to me. No, yeah, they're very open about the fact that you just, either need to spend the amount of a new laptop to get it fixed or just get a new laptop. And then I was like, can I, like, trade this one in?

They go, yeah, we could probably give you like $75. I go, no, hang on. Hang on. This, that is not even one-tenth of what I paid for it. Yeah. And I don't even know what's wrong. They didn't even tell me what's wrong with it. It was just breathing really hard. It was sounding like a wind turbine engine. And all I had opened was notes and crumb.

And there was only one time. It was Zoom open on Chrome. Yeah. I don't know what to tell you. God forbid a guy has a podcast. A man has a podcast. Yeah, they really, something's got to give there. Making it really hard for young men.

the United States, young, young straight gentlemen to have a podcast. Yeah. So I'm going. I buy a new laptop and I leave with it. And on the way home, I buy a coffee. Now, this is where it gets interesting, Brooklyn. Okay. Been waiting.

So I get a coffee and they see that I have my hands full with my new laptop. And they go, okay, we'll do it to go. And I'm in a bodega. I wasn't going to get a mug and hang out with the guy in the deli section. So they put it in a cup and I was like, okay, well, that's not, and then they put the cup in a bag. Okay. And I was like, oh, wow, that's cool, actually, because I can carry it with me home.

I don't know why I thought, like, this bodega had invented a new technology where, like, the coffee's not going to spill because it's in a bag. Obviously, like, got home, it's just fully a bag full of liquid and a cup just turned over. and I had gotten a bagel that I did eat most of. What's your, what's your New York bagel order? Sausage, egg and cheese. You love sausage.

I love sausage. I'll never get a bacon egg and cheese. I just don't love bacon in that way. We have the exact opposite taste buds, I think. I know. I just wanted to tell you my bagel was soaked with coffee today, and it was actually very good. So I might have been, like I might be the inventor of a caffeinated bagel.

Or like a coffee bean bagel. bagel. Like a genuinely like I feel energized granted I was able to pour a little bit of the bagged coffee back into the cup. What kind of bag was it? Paper. Oh, that's interesting. Obviously it must have been lined with some Kimball. You would think it would have given. You would think it would have given. You would think it's something it would have to give in that situation. But it wasn't the bag. The bag was not giving. Um, so anyways, made it home. I had a caffeinated bagel. I needed the caffeine today because I didn't Snapchat you this. I might have Snapchat did you this as well. But outside of this apartment that I'm subletting, you see it here behind me.

You're subletting? I'm subletting for the rest of the week. I should just go into that really quick. I'll just give everyone updates across the board. Since we're already in Tangent Town, let's just do it. I was obviously staying with Hunter. He was out of town now. When he got back into town, like, I'm sitting there.

I'm talking. I told you last week, like I kept, I had random stuff like, lock jaw, after you said that, like, I just couldn't stop saying stuff like that out loud in his apartment. You know, I can't stop doing this. Shut up. That goes before the law. Yeah.

Shut up. And so I'm sitting in his apartment, like, saying stuff like that all day. He's like, can you stop pacing? Can you do? And I'm like, okay, I need to get out of his apartment. This is no longer. Can you stop pacing? Can you stop screaming lockjaw every eight minutes?

Like, what am I supposed to do? What is it's supposed to do? Something's going to give. It was me. I had to give. Actually, I have given a little bit this week. And it's that I subletted some of the apartment instead of saying somewhere where I was, like, taking up space. I felt bad.

But now I'm here. And last night, I got hot. So I, like, opened a window. And randomly, there's just so much noise. And it was at midnight. And then it was 1 a.m. Then it was 2 a.m. Then it was 3 a.m.

And I look outside this morning. And they have set up, I'm not kidding. an entire movie set outside. I went check the sign. It's Law and Order SVU. How many episodes of Law and Order SVU are there that they're able to... I've seen this set like 40 times.

Every time I come to New York City, they're set up somewhere in New York City. I just have to look this up for research. I think it's on its 16th season. You know what's insane? Huh. Always Sunny is on its 18th season. Wait, then that can't be right about Law & Order.

That's been around much longer. But SBU is a spin-off, right? There's 564 episodes. It is actually on its 26th season. It's close. Okay. I mean, that's like 26 seasons if you think about it. When you think about it, yeah.

From my math freaks. So that is, so if there's 564 episodes out and there's, it's on its 26th season, exactly. Well, there's exactly that many episodes per season. How many did you say? Yes. Yeah. But they are genuinely setting up completely outside. I've seen the Law and Order SVU set every single time I've come to New York since I started coming to New York.

And this time isn't just the city the set? That's what they would say about BU whenever they were like, you don't need a campus. Boston is the campus. I want to walk you over to the window and show you. Okay. But that's not doable, is it? let's just not mess with anything all right i'll send you a video but it is mind blowing they took up an entire city block that every time they came here not last night the night before and there were people

camped out and every time someone moved their car they put cones out so that they could block off the entire block yeah i mean i guess they have to film the murder scenes at night usually that's when because that's when you're usually the hardest that's when the murders happen wait it's SBU murder SVU is like sexually sex violent. Sex, right? I'm sure there's some. Sexual violence.

I'm sure there's some murder happening. And there's got to be, yeah. After the sexual violence, probably. Special victims. Special victims. Special victims, you know. There's definitely murder. Yeah.

But they do special as like Ice Cube is always like, you know, the John Mullaney bit. I do. You're telling me he's into little girls, like whatever he said. Yeah. Yeah. Girl, winter is so last season. And now Springs got you looking at pictures of tank tops with hungry eyes. Your algorithm is feeding you cutoffs.

You're thirsty for the sun on your shoulders. That perfect hang on the patio sundress. Those sandals you can wear all day and all night. And you've had enough of shopping from your couch. Done hoping it looks anything like the picture when you tear up on that envelope. It's time for a little in-person spring treat. It's time for a trip to Ross. Work your magic.

See site for details. Yeah, sex crimes are particularly the worst. I remember something about SVU, the intro, where they say that. But they are genuinely, I walked outside this morning, and it is, it's the building next door that they've taken over. I wonder, like, someone probably listening knows this, but people live, this is a residential building, and the one next door is identical to it. I wonder if they get paid to, like, leave their apartment all day. No one can go in and out.

It's all, like, full-blown taped up. I don't know if it's for the crew or if it's for, like, the famous people that they're, like bunking in there or something. Well, go ahead and see if you can be an extra. I play. You know, I have always wanted to be a dead body on a show like that. I know. I just go outside and lay down on the street.

I think there's something incredibly healing probably about coming to terms with your own death. Like playing a dead body, I think, would really, I don't know, be healing in some way. To be dead and then come back to life. My dumb fat. What? My dumb fat, stupid ass just goes outside and lays in this tree. Like what if I just went outside with my stupid dumb ass and went and laid down in the street too? See what happens?

What if I almost just went out and laid in the street as well with my dumb bad? Go ahead. I could. You could. Okay. Something's got to give. Well, just. Can I open this now?

Oh, my God. Oh, yeah, you guys, welcome back to Broken Connor Make a Podcast. Thank you guys so much for joining us. this week. Brooke has something special on her lap. I do. It's our YouTube. It's our 100K YouTube plaque.

And of course, God works in such mysterious ways. Something had to give. And I think the thing I had to give is I needed to not be present when the thing that I've been begging on my hands and clit for has arrived. And of course, it's, it's our plaque. Well, here's the thing.

You've been begging on your hands in Clit. And I was always like, oh, yeah, like not as excited as you, but still supporting that venture, of course. But now that I, like, I've seen the plaque, I'm like, that's actually like very cool. And we should kiss our brains. What an accomplishment. Thank you, everyone.

I'm kind of giddy. Is it heavy? No, it's like light as a feather. Oh, is it like hollow? Let's see. Oh, wait, let's see what the note is. Do you remember your first subscriber? Your 100th?

Your 1,000th? Chances are you do. And we know you'll definitely remember you're 100,000 subscriber. Blah, blah, blah, blah. blah blah. Keep creating. Keep building. We can't wait to see what you'll do next. Thank you very much. And when you reach your a million subscriber, we may just write to you and ask, do you remember your 100,000 subscriber? Sincerely, Neil Mohan, YouTube CEO. Thank you, Neil.

Thanks, Neil. Wow. Okay. Here it is. And it has one of those like dry package, like not dry ice, but like dry poison. you know the thing. Yeah, I want to eat them still. I know. Here we go. Wow. Are you unwrapping it?

So wait. It's light as a feth. It's hollow and light is a feth. Smaller than I thought. Pretty, though. Pretty. There's a mirror in it. It's very thin as well.

No, it's gorgeous. I wouldn't want it any other way. I want it bigger and heavier, but it's actually big. That's just your preference. That's special. Oh, thanks. Thank you guys.

I'm going to put it on the somewhere on the shelf. I can't get up right now, but I will do that in the interim between Maine and Bone. And obviously we remember our first, our 100th and our 100th,000 followers, Paula, Michael and. Stewart. Stuart. Michael Stewart as well. Thank you guys. Thank you guys so much.

Um, that was something that I've been waiting for for a very, very, very long time. I want to touch it. I want to feel it. And that's something that I'm just going to look forward to doing when I get there in P. We'll see you soon. When did you get here when? You leave at 3.8. So this is the quickest travel turnaround I've ever done in my life, which is causing me stress.

Because I just got back from Indiana yesterday. No. I got back from Indiana Sunday night. and then I leave at the house at 3.30 a.m. tonight slash tomorrow morning and it's Tuesday. So I had two full days home. You sound like me. I know, which is tough for me.

But I'm doing, I'm doing it with a smile on my face. If you can't do it with a smile on your face. Do it with a frown. I'm doing it. I'm doing it with a neutral expression. I feel better about it than I thought I'd feel about it. But not great. Does that make sense?

Yeah, you can do it with like a frown in your cozy earth PJs too. What gets me the most is this quote, I guess words are affecting me too, Connor, that I saw on TikTok. I don't know if I've shared this already. Your pet is a chapter in your life, but to them you're the whole book. Yeah.

That obviously has like completely altered me. And like the thought of just like leaving John is so agonizing because I can't say like I'm coming right back. Yeah. Like that's all I want to tell him. Like I'll be right back. That being said when I got home on Sunday night, he literally was like, oh, I don't give a fuck. Yeah.

Which made me feel better, but worse. Right. So I feel I feel better than I thought I would about leaving him again because he genuinely truly didn't give a shit. Yeah. Which obviously hurt my feelings, but I'm happy for him. Right. If Max, if Max's life is. the book. It has had many, many M.J. Shalamay Knight, whatever his name is, twists.

M.J. Shalameh Knight. M.J. Shalameh. Twists and turns, that kind of, that kind of shit is going on with Max's book because he's in Texas. He's been to Michigan. He's been to Idaho. Yeah, he's been to a lot of states. He's been to many states. You remember, you remember snakes on a plane? Have you heard of Schitts on a plane? That was Max's whole chapter in his book, I assume, in terms. Yeah, Max has a few different chapters. So that's good for him. Quist and turns. My dad's excited to bring him out this summer, though, after I'm done with, sure.

But he will have been in Texas for a year when I get about almost a year, like two months short, but 10 months. That's a long time. Wow. But he's living his beast leave in Texas. He's got a full backyard and shit. But sorry. You're living with me now. Yeah.

sleeping on my, you're sleeping on my chest. Yeah. John has, he's like, as he gets older, he's become like less cuddly, which is so hard. Like he's not sleeping on my face anymore. He's sleeping at the bottom of my bed. Like he'll cuddle for like 10 minutes and then migrate to the bottom of my bed. And now he's been like leaving in the middle of the night for like hours at a time. Cats are like nocturnal.

Are they? No. I thought they were supposed to sleep all the time. no cats are not nocturnal but rather crepicular meaning they are the most active at dawn and dusk yeah that makes sense john's very active at dusk wait is dusk the morning like he does love to cuddle in the morning tic tic tic that's because he's so glad i woke up and i'm not dead you read that thing about cats like if you died and you were dead for like four hours they would eat you thank god like if he's hungry and i'm not there to feed him i would hope so

Right, but like you could also be in a coma. I would, you would survive. If you were alive and they started eating you, like they're not eating your heart. They're probably seeing a few bite down that you would survive. Genuine real question, if you got out of a coma and you were missing like big, significant chunks of your torso because your cat like was hungry for 12 minutes and would you be able to look at your cat? I would say, thank God. Thank God that he didn't go hungry.

Oh, that would have made, like the thought of him being hungry, eating my torso is much more preferable. I mean, I don't know the exact amount of days that it, like, scientifically takes dogs, like, genuinely will starve. Like, Max, the same way Max, like, would never barker tell me he has to pee or poop, he just stares at me. Like, I can't imagine how hard it would be for him to convince himself that he needs to eat my face.

I don't think, like, I think it's way blown out of proportion. the whole the cat will eat you thing. I'm sure she's happened like a few times. Well, I don't know how they would test that unless they had like a someone who loved their pet and then had a camera in their house and was like, oh, they died. Leave them there for a little bit. Let's see how long it takes their cat to eat them. Like how did they do that study? Can we look at that?

I mean, I'm sure they just found a dead body that was eaten a little bit. Oh, I guess they can test like how long the body. been dead. Okay. If you died alone, would your cat or dog eat you? Psychology today. There's a little scientific data about how likely it is a dog or cat would try to eat their owner.

Blah, blah, blah. Cats may be more predatory than dogs if their owner is deceased. Okay. No, I can't read this. This is making me sad. Wait, can I read it? Sure.

Hang on. But it's making me sad. A news report that claimed that a man in his 80s died while sitting in an easy chair. After some time, family and neighbors began to become a concern that they hadn't heard from him and he wasn't responding to phone calls or emails. They asked police to carry out a wellness check. And when they entered the apartment, they found the man dead. What was most surprising that they also found his Labrador retriever lying dead beside him apparently.

That's what made me bad. The dog started to death despite the fact that sitting in the chair was a source of nourishment. While the news report couched that what a weird way to use the word couch, couched this as a wonderful example of love and loyalty on the part of the dog. skeptical scientific mind, I wondered just how atypical disbehavior was, given the fact that the dog and cats are carnivores, and my expectation would be that the most loving pet would have tried to stay alive by eating the body of their dead owner. So one specific Labrador decided not to eat, which is like a dumb, not a survival move. Or he just was like, I'm not eating that old man. That's gross. I would eat a younger man or a younger source of nourishment, but his like,

wrinkly skin is just not looking at it. Do you remember how the conversation we were having earlier was making you feel sick? Oh, this one is. I'm having that experience with this conversation. Okay. We can stop. Do you want to hear about Kappa? Oh my God.

Why didn't you tell me about Kappa yet? Yes. You didn't ask. Well, we went through my freaking random ass stories of my day and my coffee and my laptop. I know. You seemed really to need to tell me that. Well, tell me about Kappa. You seemed like you really need to tell me that.

It was great. It looked. It was giving me chills. Every picture I saw of you there, like you genuinely looked like you were having fun. I had a blast. And I think it was like whatever happened to me at Coachella where I was like you literally just like are here. Yeah.

And you just have to have fun as maybe what happened to me at Kappa. I had a blast. Like nothing even. I don't even have anything negative to say. Do you want to go back to school and get your. No, I think that's why I had a good time. It was like I'll be in my best. I had literally tomorrow night.

Yeah. Like I think if it was like, oh, this is a four-year situation, that would be a little bit more challenging for me. But I had a great time. I didn't need my puffer at the frat because of the body heat. Gabby was completely, right? There were other moms. I was talking to the other moms before at the pregame.

Like, should we bring our puffers? I don't know. The girls are saying not to bring our puffers. I'm scared. I'm going to be cold. But we all decided it would be worse to be hot. At the end of the. the day. And so I did not wear my puffer. There were people in puffers there. Okay. At the end of the day,

those girls, those Kappa girls have survival skills. They're not like that Labrador that wouldn't eat the old man. They are like, we know how to survive. We know a thing or two about the streets. We know a thing or two about a frat basement. And we know a thing or two about stomping around with the moms. And we do not need our puffers to stay warm because we have our sisters for body heat. Yeah. Well, this was at the frat. We have our brothers under Christ. Wow. This was at FI.Sig. Those are my brothers. Those are like genuinely those are my brothers.

It's special to find your chosen family. Yeah. At I.U. It really, it was really special. Had a great time. Gabby was kept saying like I'm really worried that like you're going to get swarmed. Like I think probably a lot of this is your demographic. Like I'm worried that a lot of, this is your demographic. Like I'm worried that a lot of, like, I'm worried that a lot of, of people listen to the podcast, whatever, blah, blah. And I was like, no, Gabby, it's going to be fine. But I was kind of like thinking like, like maybe like maybe I will get. Maybe I will get some attention. No. No. Not Connor. I went in like worried, like scared it was going to be over. No one. Not the case today. No one to the point where I was like, has anyone ever listened to Brun Connor make a podcast? Well, I think no. I think that specific day in that specific scenario, if I'm thinking about the

the state of mind I was in when I was going to a day party mixer. I'm not looking for podcasters. Well, let's just say I went in like a little bit worried and scared and came out a little bit pissed. Oh. And insecure. Something's got to give at the end of the day. Something's got to give.

No, but it was so fun. It really truly looked. I was wearing my Ray Band meta. So I was able to take pictures of Gabby and her crush. You I also have a crush on now. By the way, I've decided, I think younger men is not that young, but like, I think I'm going to set my hinge to like 23. 23. That's fine to say. Okay. Your next book is just going to be called 27.

Your next book is just going to be called 23 and me. A story of a, of a woman searching for a young man. I'm just saying, like, I felt very like they were like, oh, she's so cool, which like I don't feel for men my age. And I think that's nice to be appreciated in that way. That's what I'll say. that's fine to say that is fine to say lady eff wrong college tour you can be a cougar you can i did not say college i said 23 okay that's fine is that am i going to get in trouble no you're making me nervous no i'm literally supporting you i'm telling you to write a book about it maybe i will connor

that is like a big that's a big thing in romance i know all of the all of the movies right now are like Nicole Kidman goes to the frats yes that's what I'm saying this was baby girl this is baby girl at Hapa um well that's like genuinely dreamy and I'm excited for you these is like it's all about self-discovery that's what college is all about is finding yourself and learning things about your body and then I would say the only negative thing that happened and I would say like we were all like a perfect level drunk like no one was like sloppy or anything but we were like having the best time. Everything was just the greatest.

And then we went to Keynes, which is like, wow, what a fabulous thing to do right now. Like how excited are we to get to experience Keynes at a time like this on a Saturday in Bloomington? You know, what an amazing thing. We get there. One of us had spilled some water on the table or something. Like not even like drunkenly, just like someone knocked over water. It happens. Okay.

one of the Cain's employees walked by and said with so much attitude you're going to have to clean up that mess that you so obviously spilled. Okay. Now that set me. That put me from complete bliss to literally like I'm seeing the most red that I've ever seen in my life. And then at this point, someone was like, oh, I love your podcast. And I was like, thanks.

I have to talk to the manager right now. Thank you. A little bit manager, right? Well, two more things happened. So first, there was that attitude that he gave me. Okay? Then now we're all pissed. And Channing and Alexa were like pissed, like, but like a normal amount and me and Gabby,

just because of our DNA, we're like, this is completely unacceptable. Then he came back and threw napkins at us. He threw napkins at us and said, for your mess. Keep in mind, it is water. it is water. It is a water spill. Okay. In the middle of the day in Bloomington, Indiana on the I use campus. Okay. During mom's weekend. So a little water spill that we had intended, had every intention of cleaning up. Okay. Then now me and Gabby are completely like beside ourselves. Then he walks by again. Gabby had a little bit of attitude back and said, we cleaned up. And he said, thanks love. That was the respectful choice.

And then at this point, Gabby said, what is your name? He gave us his name. And then Gabby said, can you, or Channing said, can we please speak to the manager? Okay. So we did. And that was the first time that I've ever spoken to the manager was last, was, was this past weekend. How does that sit with you? No.

I wasn't there. Okay. But I also have never worked at a fast food restaurant on a college campus. I was going to say, like, I put in my notes, like, to really, like, fully exposed this person whose name I have. And then I said, you know what, Brooke, he's probably, like, Ms. So I'm not going to do that. But this is me taking the high road. Connor, I can't even explain the attitude that I received.

Know that this is me taking the high road. Yeah. No. taking the high road. Through the napkins at us. Yeah. I, again,

I wasn't there. I just, my heart goes out to individuals that have dealt with me when I was 19, drunk at Waterburger. I'm telling you. You campus. No, Connor, I'm telling you,

like, we were not even like sloppy, we had simply spilled water. No, no, I don't think. I'm sure he's like in, obviously like in a state,

which I can appreciate. I'm sure I would be too, but like I've never been. I've never I've never No I bet it was some some Frat group of people That came in right before you that like spit on him or something

You know No I think that I think that there was hate in his heart I really do I think it just he took it out on you guys probably But I'm just assuming also I'm just making up a You are giving him the benefit of the Dow I promise which is a sweet thing to do And a noble thing to do

If you were at that table Connor and it was like I have literally have never in my life. Oh, Lord, you got, you got someone. And the manager didn't even care. Gabby, Gabby had sent the three of us away because she was like, I let me handle this. She was like, I feel like you're not taking this seriously to the manager. Like, it was really, like we were really. Yeah. We were really upset. And that's what I'm saying. We obviously, that's when people were like, oh, I love your podcast. And I was like, I actually have to speak to the manager right now. So I want to apologize to those people. That's not really who I am usually.

This was an extenuating circumstance based on the way that we were treated at the Bloomington, Indiana, Cains. Okay. Oh, my gosh. It reminds me of there was this one time we had, we were at UT and we went to IHOP or no, we were in Dallas. We went to IHOP, but it was a huge weekend for our football teams. It was like our rivalry weekend. And we all went to IHop like late at night. and it was super late and I remember it was super late because someone at our table was pouring the syrup just right into their mouth

from those like little fun containers See now that I can understand just an employee being like shut the fuck Like stop I'm telling you Connor We were so benign No this is not a story involving staff At all It just reminds me of this story

then a girl comes up to one of the girls at our table and just grabs her ponytail and rips her out of the two. And so it's just like girl, you know girl fighting like hitting with the side of your fist, you know, like in those fights that you see, starts doing that. So then another girl at our table jumps on her and they start fighting.

The girl, the original girl, got to look at her face and goes, oh my God, I thought you were someone else. And they just, they all stopped fighting. They're like, oh, Thank God, okay, we thought we were being like jumps or whatever. And everything ended. I obviously was frozen in shock.

So it's good to know in those situations. And again, this has nothing to do with the staff. The staff actually did not do anything at this eye hop. Yeah. And there was a lot happening. But with this fight, no one called the cops. No one did anything. My ass didn't move.

You know people have like fighter flight? Mm-hmm. The third option is just, I think paralysis. Because I'm a freezer. Yeah. I get that. What do you do? Let's just say you wouldn't have been able to freeze when this employee was involved.

Let's just say he inspired action. His attitude. I just, I don't think I would do anything there either. I would just be like mad. Well, I wouldn't have asked, I wouldn't have asked for the manager, but I wouldn't have asked for the manager. I didn't ask for the manager. I still think that's not something I'm capable of, but in this situation, I did speak to the manager when he was summoned because I was so. And then Gabby sent me away because I just kept saying, I have never felt compelled to do this.

Did you just burp? Is that why you're looking that way? Did you not hear that, really? I heard you burp. I didn't burp. What was it? It was like a doorbell, but I don't know what I don't. That thing keeps happening when I'm in this apartment. I don't know what I'm supposed to do because I don't know if there's a.

Yeah, I don't know if I'm supposed to let Amazon in or something. Anyway, now I'm having, like, obviously horrible anxiety that I'm coming across as a brat between this and my anthropology customer service experience. But I think I'm just trying to grow a backbone. Good. It's important to grow a backbone. Thanks. I figured out I was going to say. Okay, well, hear something.

It's going to be productive at all. So, yeah, take it, please. Why don't British people have their accents when they're singing? I don't know. I just thought that that was a thing. Well, some do, but then most don't. Like, why is Jonathan Bailey not singing dancing through life? Like, he's very much saying dancing.

Eh, eh, with that American A. I've never, ever. Why wouldn't he just do dancing? I've never even at all looked into this. Even Adele, who's got the most thick hackney. accent or whatever, wherever she's from, she goes, never mind. Exactly. Exactly.

Someone like you. Why? Hello. It's me. But then you have Ed Sheeran who does sing in British. I'm in love with the shape of you. No, uh, uh, hung in the dark, a few between my arms, barefoot on the grass. He says, gross.

I remember that specifically because I was doing karaoke to that song and had like a moment of panic. Like, do I say grass or grass? And it ended up coming out as like, grace. You had a moment of Brit panic. Yeah, a panic on that stage. But, yeah, I can, permission to grab my phone, Connor. Grab your phone.

You've always had permission for me. Why don't Brits sing in a British accent? I think it's because... Well, it might seem like Brits don't always sing with a strong British accent. The reality is that many do. Okay, but some don't. Factors like the nature of singing cultural expectations and the dominance of American pop music can make their accents less noticeable when singing, often leading to a sound

closer to a general American accent. That's what I was going to say, not to be so like American elitist, but I do feel like a lot of, I just watched the Amy Winehouse movie. I don't know if I told you that. It should have been me. It should have been you. It really should have been anyone else besides the girl who played it, even though. I haven't seen it.

I do like her as an actress and she was really good in industry, which is what she's in. But she did not look or sound or really even act like the Amy Winehouse that I know, not to be an Amy Winehouse expert. No, you love Amy. Amy Winehouse expert here. But I do. I am a huge fan. And I don't feel like it was a good casting.

But why did I talk about her? Oh. British siblings. There was like a big point there where they were like, hey, to make money, we really need to break into the American market. and this one is not going to do it. And so I think that there's just like a really big pull to appeal to Americans in music globally. I don't think it's like, so I think that

not that we would care, hey, British people. We would love if you use your accent. I would love if Jonathan Bailey would sing dancing through life. It's kind of fun to play pretend for us a little bit even. But now I'm seeing that it has to do with just like the way that the vowels are when you sing. Yeah.

The vowels? Oh, yeah, maybe. It's not just British people who lose their accent while singing. We all do. A British person could say the same about an American singer. I don't think that that's true. Who wrote that article? This is Reddit.

Oh. Oh, my God. Japanese language. All right. Okay. What? Yeah, apparently we all lose our accents. The muscle we use for singing are different than the muscles we use for talking.

It's not that the accent disappears. It neutralizes because singing techniques are pretty universal. in the early days foreign pop musicians were coachesing more American the United States has a significant larger and more profitable music industries okay interesting well let me know if you guys wait was I exactly right kind of oh wow that's cool that has never happened so that's fun I have two things to tell you okay they're just like one off like little things that I would noted because it's maybe laugh okay okay so last night I went to have a Guinness, which is my new thing that I like, is Guinness having Guinness. I like beer now. You are becoming, like, you're becoming more up my alley now that I'm putting abroad. Hey, I'm starting to like you. This is, like, making.

Hey, you're starting to grow on me. Making us like branch together, which is crazy. We'll have to get a beer while you're starting to get cozy and I'm starting to like Guinness. No, genuinely. No, I don't think I like Guinness. Guinness took until I went to Ireland to actually drink a Guinness to completion. But last night I went... I like beers.

It tastes like a half water, half soap. Okay. I'm more of a light. A light beer. Like a Coors light. You probably like a core plate. Probably. Yeah.

Well, my buddy, he's British. And he was, so he's like having a Guinness of this bar that you would really like. Simon Fraser. He's a comedian. Okay. He's really funny. He's, um, so he was at, uh, this. that you would really like. This is where Jason Mamo was last week. This bar called Swift. And it's,

it's named after Jonathan Swift, an Irish poet. I love it, Jonathan. Yeah. I love it. Good Jonathan. And so we're sitting there having a Guinness and we're talking. And Simon gets up to go to the restroom and there's a couple next to us. And they're clearly on a first date. My phone's on 4%. So I couldn't even pretend like I was on my phone. I was just staring straight ahead and listening to their first date. We're sitting at the bar, so I'm right next to the dude. And this is when I clock into their conversation, the first thing I hear is, and you know, pairs, the shape of pairs make sense to me. Because if you think about the way they hang and the way water would flow into the fruit itself, it forms sort of like bottom heavy, and it almost looks like a water droplet.

And then where I lose any logic here is when we start talking about apples. The shape of apples don't make as much sense as the shape of pairs. And I was like, this is the most awesome conversation for first date. I was literally about to say that is you on a first date, probably. I was like, this is so, like, Brooke, genuinely I was like, what? About to pull up a chair? No, I was like, and then I was like, oh, I can't. Like, what am I doing?

I've had half of one beer and I'm ready to chime in on someone's first date. But I was like, oh my God. So true. And I couldn't hear if she was even responding to him. Oh, that was the guy that was saying that? I don't know why I would assume the girl. No, it was the guy. Oh.

It was so funny. Like, doesn't the shape of bears make so much sense? Yeah, she does. That would have, he would have had my heart in that moment. They get up to leave. He had offered me a phone. in charge because you heard me ask the bartender if I get charged my phone for a second. And he's like, I have one, but it was the old one.

I was like, oh, thank you so much. And they got up to leave. And I was like, I'll see you later. And he's like, by the way, love the podcast. The dude on the first day. And say the same about the people in Bloomington. I know. What a damn shame.

We need to step up our. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I don't care. You need to step up our Indiana talk. I actually, I genuinely. I hope people understand that I don't actually care. It was like more of like a funny, like, oh, damn type of thing.

You know what I mean? We all have those oh damn moments. Thank you. Well, he said love the podcast. That's sweet. I was like, I really wanted to time in on your pair of conversation, by the way. And they were both laughing. Oh, I hope that it went well.

I hope that that sparked like a circling back on the conversation surrounding the shapes of fruits for them. Yeah. I thought it was like a really good topic to bring up, especially because there were fruits at the bar and he was just using his surroundings to start conversation. Good for him. I think that's really admirable. I do too. You don't have to talk about anything serious. You don't have to talk about people's families.

You don't have to talk about your past, your future, your present even, or politics or religion. You can talk about the shape of fruits at the end of the day. That is a level playing field for all. It's refreshing to not be doing, get to know you questions. So, and it's not, it's not even small. Oh, maybe this is even the get to know you. That might be the get to know you. More so than the where are you from?

Why your tooth brown. And why your tooth brown and why you have no tooth. Why you have no tooth? Yeah. I, then I had something funny happen a day. So did you see my Instagram story yesterday where I saw a young man with a tote bag worn backpack style? So I posted that yesterday.

It set the internet of life. to be honest. I've never had more responses. I've never had more shared. Wow. Wow. Ever. Wow.

Wow. And the people have begun to talk. And so I wore mine out of respect for the young man that I posted yesterday. I wore mine backpack style today. Hamburger style instead of hot dog style. And someone DM'd me. And I was like, oh, a fan. I open it.

And someone, he said to me, I saw two dudes kissing yesterday. And this is actually gayer than that. that I was wearing a bag like a backpack. Okay. That was the funniest thing that I've ever seen. So thank you all for your, I'm assuming we got muted for it. Are you muted?

No. Oh, okay. Okay. Wasn't sure because it's- No, not at all. Why? I thought that that was really funny.

I don't know. Calling things gay is back. And when it's used by a gay person or an ally, it's hysterical. but sometimes I can't tell. Well, that's like, I think that... I would need to get to know him more. Oh, okay.

Well, I think that that was, I think I couldn't, I didn't look at his profile on anything, but I, um, but that doesn't scream as an ally. That doesn't scream gay to me. It screams like quirky. I think there's just something to break through the noise, but I was just laughing.

I was just laughing. That's fine. You can laugh. It was great that no. one else did. Let's leave that in and see if one person that listens to the podcast even laughs at that. I bet they will. Yeah, I'm sure that someone will, even though I'm over here sweating. My tits are sweating off. Are your pants on or off right now? The pants are on. Some out of amount of underwear officially. I need to do wash. Is your new apartment going to have a

washer dryer and unit? Yeah. Okay. I need to ask you this. Have you ever heard of a washer dryer that's the same machine? I have. but like I have no experience with them or know nothing about them. Because I had that burning question. That seems to make the most sense. I don't really. So it drains and then it heats up and dries because that's what I have. That's what the litter robot does in a way.

Yeah. I just don't see how that could be effective at all. I'm probably going to be spending so much money on washing and drying my stuff in terms of. Well, thankfully, I feel like it will wash. you know, it might not dry. And drying is something that you can just do when you put your clothes out in the open. I don't, yeah, I guess.

You can probably get them to at least damp in that machine. You spend so much money on rent and you still have to be later to dry. Well, let's see. Let's see. We don't know. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Yeah. I'm trying to take a pop.

Can we talk about White Lotus? I can talk about White Lotus, but I really wanted, I had an idea for a segment on here that we've never done before, but I kind of want to do like pop culture that wouldn't cross your desk that I'm aware of. You know what I mean? Yeah. I don't feel like you do based on that, yeah.

No, I do know what you mean. Like, because I feel like we don't, when I, when I tell you about certain stuff, like, have you heard of bad baby and Alabama barker beefing? No. Does that sound like an ad lib, do you? No, I know, well, I know Alabama. I don't know bad baby. It's Bahad Bahabi. Oh. Is that she on TikTok?

She's Gucci flip-flops. I don't know her. Bahad Bahhabi and Alabama Baharker. No, I don't know. She's catch me outside. How about that? That's her. Remember her from Dr. Phil? Yes. That's her. And they're beefing. And that was an example that I was giving. That being said, I don't know why. I don't know why they're beefing. There's something to do with like Alabama is hooking up with one of her bad bad Babi's

X's or something and now bad baby dropped like a disc track. That's as far as we can go. I'm actually never going to be able to tell anyone about beef between rappers. But I'm going to work. I'm going to have a better segmented thing next week where I do pop culture, trending pop culture job except have not come across Brooks desk, I assume. Well, then do I get to do something? like maybe in the book or the Broadway space.

Please, yeah, I encourage you. I have one. Okay, hit me. Okay, I'm going to say a name and you're going to tell me who this person is. This is somebody that I've probably talked about in probably 20 plus episodes. Okay. Jonathan Larson. What does that name mean to you?

I know what it is. I know he's in something, but I can't remember what it is. You've just got so many Jonathan's on your... This is the number one, Jonathan, who my cat is named after. Yeah, I know. I knew that. Jonathan Bailey, Jonathan Larson, Jonathan, he's in a play.

What play is he in? Rent. You're close. Okay. Jonathan Larson, you want me to tell you, or are you getting there? He's in a play that you like, and I can't remember what it is.

Yeah, tell me what plays. Are you thinking of Jonathan Groff? Oh, damn. Okay, Jonathan Larson is the creator of Rent. Yeah, okay. And also Tick, Tick, Boom. Andrew Garfield played him in Tick, Tick, Boom. Yeah, yeah.

Okay. And, you know, Tick, Tick, boom is about the feeling that he was running out of time before he made something of himself and then came rent. And then he died completely changed the course of Broadway history and then he died right before opening night. He never got to see what he did. Okay. So I am, you know, doing my best to try to keep continuing his legacy. You know, small thing I can do is name my cat after him and just continue to talk about him, et cetera. Okay. Yeah. There's a new show off Broadway that I'm going to next month called the Jonathan Larson Project, which is a collection of all of the music of his that was

never released. How cool is that? Wow, from beyond the grave. Yeah. Yeah. And that's and that's that. Exactly. So I'm really excited about that, Connor. That's awesome. Yeah. That's very cool. And now I'm never going to forget Jonathan Larson. Yeah. Say that name. Jonathan Larson. And and go ahead and say Bhadbeahe be me. Bhad behavior. Thank you. Wow. Out of respect. Put some respect on Bhadba Habe. while we're at it. Okay, cool. Well, that's all I have for your pop culture update. I wish I could have explained it better as well as you explained Jonathan Larson to me.

But I can't. For my Broadway update. I like this. I like this idea. Yeah, it's fun. I thought it was, because I was putting some stuff in and I didn't want to sound like another individual that talks about young people's gossip because I just don't, you know,

and I never want to be that person. And I don't really care that much about other people's gossip. Well, how about you find something that you really care about? Yeah, next week I'll do something that, you know, like this Luigi Mangione, you know, he's going to have a mistrial, allegedly. Yeah. And be let go because they didn't read him as Miranda rights. And they like said he wasn't being, um, what's it called when you're in handcuffs?

Read his Miranda rights? When he's in handcuffs. Oh, captive? Yeah, not held captive though. It's not pirates. Like you're not being. What was he being? Does anyone know what's it called?

Not contained either. Held? Not held. Not held prisoner. Not a prisoner of war. He's being held. Someone, anyone, you're being held? Hang on.

I can look at it. I can do it. I can do it. I can do it. I can do it. Hang on. Are you talking about the action of him being held in handcuffs? Hustody.

Oh, good one. Someone said they were like, you are not in custody. He was in fact in custody. And what's funny is when I got arrested, they did not read me my Miranda rights. And when I told my lawyer that, this was when I was 19, they were like, oh, you watch too much TV. Like you do not get your Miranda rights read to you.

But why would TV take that liberty? Like you don't have, it just gives you more lines. Yeah, I also don't, yeah, I don't totally get, hmm, I should look into that before just like spewing that I do not understand my right. That could be, how about next week you teach us about Miranda rights? I would be happy to. Okay, so no one tell us that we were wrong. Connor's going to come back next week and let us know. And I'm going to learn a couple things myself.

I am going on tour on Friday. Okay. I'm going to be in Baton Rouge in New Orleans over the weekend. I'm so excited. That's fun. back on tour and to be like working and I'm going to be on tour with Jake. That's so fun. I understood super late in the game that no one understood what dates I was doing with Jake

because we made a graphic that had an arrow pointing to one single date that we collab posted and everyone was like, I don't get it. You're doing one date and you posted a poster doing all the dates that I posted. Okay. Just want to be very clear. Okay. Well, I'll see you tomorrow. I'll see your ass tomorrow in New York City.

Oh, question. Yeah. Thursday we're going to see Little Shop of course. What time? What's offline about it? Well, because I have the follow up with my therapist at 7 p.m. Okay, it's at 7 p.m. So reschedule that.

I'm proud of you for making. it this time make it at a different time where we're not going to see Little Shop of Horrors. You can't bail on Little Shop. Like the play starts at... It starts at 7. You should be at the theater at 645. How interesting that the stars have aligned in such a negative way? You can reschedule a follow-up with a therapist. You can't reschedule seeing Little Shop of Horrors with your friends.

That's true. Well, damn. Look at me and tell me you're going to reschedule. I'm going to try to re-schedule. No, no. This, I mean, it was hard to get this person to have availability at all. There's no way this is happening. That is legitimately, I was worried that that would happen.

I thought 7 p.m. for New York City was a little bit early to start a play. No. I am going to email. So my attempt will be made, but I'm not. Lord in heaven. I can't promise. Lord in heaven. I know it.

There's no way. No, and it's literally like a, going to be like a five, ten minute call. I mean, then just like coming to the show late, you'll be missing a really great opening number, but. Yeah, no, obviously I'm not going to not go. I'm on the, I'm on, by the way. Oh, that was my understanding. I'm like 12 seats down from you guys in the same row, but sitting by myself. So looking forward to that.

Yay, me too. I'm so excited. Me too. Okay. All right. Let's, uh, hop over to the bonus now. Okay. See you there.

Bye. Bye. This week on Close Friends. I have something really insane to say. I'm so sorry to switch gears. Sorry, I just got depressed. Hincest. That's when there's a hint of incest.

If you could eat anything right now, what would it be? I'm not giving you attitude, love, but just be respectful with me. Okay, love. People are like, do you wash your ass? And they're like, well, I wash my hair and then it goes down to my ass. Sign up on TMG Studios. TV to watch a full bonus episode.
