Did you take a picture? No I didn't because I couldn't Like it was on like her underside Her belly And I couldn't like access that point But she smelled so good Like a strawberry And she was all red

It was so cute I didn't even know strawberries have scents What? Strawberry scented things Yeah that's an artificial Added scent No If you smell a strawberry

Are you kidding If you smell a strawberry Nothing happens That is not... It's like a rose. That's not true. Rose don't smell. Potter!

The whole point of roses is that they smell. Can you guys all smell roses? Yes. Wake up and smell the roses. I have COVID. Well, have you never been able to smell that? I was born with COVID. That's weird.

No wonder you think smells the least important sense. That is so strange because you actually like, bad smells perturb you so much, but you can't smell strawberry or a rose. No, you can't smell the good smells. Oh. Weird. Hey, Brooke.

Hi, Connor. Are you ready to MAP? I'm ready to pee. Ignorance is bliss. I'm living in a world of my own and it's awesome. Oh, I thought I was responsible for 9-11 when I was five. Where were you? In Pennsylvania.

Touch grass, might I suggest. We're just going to dive right in today. So, are we starting? Well, why is this? so hard today. The time change. Okay. Yeah, I am very jet lagged.

Okay. From Sunday. The hour. No, I'm not joking. Like, I'm completely messed up my whole circadian rhythm. Like, usually I get out of bed at 8.30. Well, there's no circadian rhythm when the sun hasn't come out in like seven days. No, listen.

Usually I get up at like 8.30 out of my bed. Couldn't get up till 11 yesterday. How does that make sense? Iron deficiency. No, Connor, my iron's fine. I keep telling you I've got my blood tested. Chakras. I don't know. I'm just saying it just like doesn't make like how does that work?

It is like my body is just so sensitive to the comments, you know. Hey guys, welcome to Brooke and Connor make a podcast. We're trying to be more diligent about our intro and our outro because a lot of times we kind of just soft intro. And it's kind of, it's a little bit confusing. Have we started? Where did she come from? Where did she go? It's confusing for everyone.

Where did she come from? Cotton I, Joe. No. No. That was my own train of thought that had not been coined before. Right. And so we have enlisted the help of AI. What does AI stand for, automated intelligence?

Artificial intelligence. We've enlisted her help today to help us with an intro. So we asked chat GPT. Chat GBT, GBT. Yeah. Has helped us. Chat Girl Boss Town. And so this is our intro.

Yeah. Yeah, so chat Chappee, he wrote it for us. And scene. And seen. So here we go. Here we go. Hey, everyone. And welcome back to Brooke and Connor make a podcast.

I'm Brooke and I'm here with my co-host, Connor. Hey there, listeners. Today we're going to be talking about something that's been on our minds a lot lately, the future. That's right. We'll be discussing our hopes, dreams, and fears for what's to come. It's going to be an interesting conversation. Let's dive in.

That was perfect. The Daily. Oh, I thought I loved it. Welcome to The Daily with Brooke and Connor. Let's talk about why the banks fail. Set the scene. Yeah. That is what we're talking about.

That is what we're talking about. Did you, okay. So I'm like thinking I can explain the Silicon Valley Bank failure. I'm serious. And not just because chat GPT just set us up in like a very 3D printed type way. I feel like I could actually do it. What, and I've never heard. Did you, you, you didn't even hear about it.

Mm-mm. See, this is what's- What is it called? The Silicon Valley. The bank. Like, so it was, it was a bank that failed. But basically, okay, so I'll set the scene. The reason this is a big deal is because it's shocking to see how many people, like,

it actually does affect us all. Like, it could. And it, I don't know if it is yet necessarily. Well, it is. We're talking about it. Anyways. Is it like a bank, like a building? Like one singular bank?

It's like... In Silicon Valley? What would you call? But it's more than that because you can invest in stock in Silicon Valley Bank as well. It's like an entity. It's also like its own... It's a large bank. Okay.

But it's like it was also a niche enough almost like boutique style bank to start. And then they raised enough money because they were small enough to where they weren't being regulated like a big bank. You know, so like there were a lot of things that flew into the radar when like interest rates were lower. blah blah blah blah so like when trump was in office i think this was like 2016 he like had like a lot of faith in this bank and like kind of passed all these things to let them fly under the radar the thing about this bank was that it's a really boutique hip trendy bank for a lot of these like rich people you're saying the word boutique when describing a bank isn't making sense it's a boutique agents it's like it's like i'm thinking of just like dresses and shoes right okay

so so when something is like in this sense boutique. So like a talent agency that's managing talent can be a boutique agency because they're small and selective about who they take on as clients. Is that making sense? Yeah. Okay. Okay. I don't like it, but yeah. How can I weave in the 1975? No, I get it. Into this. They're a boutique, they were a boutique band. Okay. Do you know words can have different definitions depending on the context? That's like what's happening here. Okay. Okay. No, I get it.

Okay. Imagine the bank is playing somebody else by the 1975. And you walk in. That's not a boutique song. And everyone's there withdrawing a bunch of cash. And you're kind of grooving and moving. Okay. I think that's not even my favorite song.

Okay. Oh, Carolina is playing. Okay. So let's get back on track because I will get confused. You brought it up. I'm just trying to make this word problem makes sense to you. No, I love that. And it's, I'll easily get off track.

So basically, this bank. was allowing people to have like a lot of money involved. You can also buy stock in this bank, whatever. Something happened, this is the part where I lose it. So something happened that caused them. The part where you lose it, it seems like the main. No, no, no, no, no. It's not the main part.

Okay. Basically, like, they had some reason to need to sell a $21 billion government bond, which is typically a really safe investment to have a government bond. Now, when people start to find out that this place that you have a lot of money in has sold a really safe bond in 24 hours about $20 billion with a loss of $2 billion.

So they were okay losing $2 billion out of a $21 billion investment with a billion with a B. Then you're like, wow, why are you, why is my bank where I have all my money millions and millions of dollars selling that and like okay losing $2 million. So then people get wind of that. and they go and they start withdrawing.

When a bank is losing a ton of cash, and it's a domino effect. When people start pulling out their money, and they're like, I don't want to leave mine there. Yeah. It starts causing widespread panic, which caused,

and by the way, this bank was funding, because it was also VC, right? It was like venture capitalist type bank. It's the Silicon Valley bank, so it's where a lot of startups put their money. Right. Okay, so Silicon Valley,

you know Silicon Valley? I do. Okay. So it's like we're a bunch of startups. So like think of this, this bank, is like where someone who was trying to make like organic organic skin care for dogs like would put their money here and then reinvest it to start their company and it was like a like a really safe

trendy place to do that all of the people at this bank are not us they're people with they're mark cuban type people like they're rich they're entitled they have hundreds and thousands of Twitter followers so they have pull so when they start saying like we got to pull our, it's like people are following them and listening to them. And it's causing a domino effect where other people are like looking at their smaller banks. Like maybe I should take my money out too. So then you see like people pull money. Then that's when banks start to fail.

FDIC steps in, takes it over control. Now that's a failed bank. SVP at that point is a failed bank. Okay. Now the government comes in and says, do not panic. We're paying. Let me look up exactly what they said. They said something.

Why doesn't the government care enough to step in? Because this could cause... It feels like they have so many other things they could do. This could cause financial panic enough to cause like a larger... It's big enough because the players involved with that bank are big enough with their Twitter followers. With their Twitter followers. Yeah, I'm trying to think of like how... It's like if...

Here, this is good. If someone were to get canceled, that was our friend. Okay. Say Caucasian James gets canceled. Okay. Wouldn't even be a shocker to me. Just kidding, it would. But if I unfollow him and you unfollow him

and then other people see that follow us are like, why are people unfollow him? They're going to unfollow him. Yeah, I understand the domino of a piece. So basically, to avoid the domino situation, the government comes in and says, there's systemic risk enough and systemic risk is that if people are pulling out here,

we're going to pay everyone back that was at that bank so they don't have to. But typically, there's only a $250,000 guarantee when you invest, when you put your money in a bank, that's, that's all they can basically give you back. So if you put half a million dollars in, you're only guaranteed to get $250 grand back. And the government agreed to pay everything back for this bank to chill everyone out and be like, everyone chill, it's going to be okay. And so you just kind of have to, like, trust the FDIC and to like do what they're supposed to do.

But then it's just like a government thing. It's like, okay, government says it's fine. Trust daddy government. Okay. That's as much as I know. Does that make sense? Yes. What questions do you have for me right now?

No, I don't have any questions for you that was so clear. This is me every meeting when they say what questions do you have. None that I can think of right now, but I'll send you an email if any come to mine. So you were blacked out that entire time. Completely blacked, but I tried. I literally tried my best and I think I could explain it if you asked me. Well, see, that's why I had to go so fast because I will lose. That's like when I do stand-up.

I have to go so fast through it. Because if I pause and think about why this led to this, like, I can't remember. You know what, Connor? The subject matter had me blacking out a little bit, but you know what had me like coming back to your story, your passion. Yes. You were really into it. And the reason this one is a big deal is because it was the second largest bank failure in history.

What's the first? Probably the Great Depression, no? Or 2008? Oh, damn. The Dust Bowl, Brooke. Was 2008 technically worse than the Great Depression in terms of? No, but it was in terms of bank failures. Bank failures?

Yeah. First is the worst. Second is the best. Third is one with a hairy chest. Hairy chest, yeah. Okay, well, Connor, thank you for sharing that. Oh, my God, Brooke. I'm absolutely pooped.

I learned a lot. You come to this podcast. You don't know what you're going to get. I didn't know that was coming. No. No, and I literally did what the daily did in 34 minutes in four. Wow. Yeah, you did a good job.

Take it early. I'm going to leave your learning, having learned something that knew. Right. Well, this is a developing situation, so feel free to follow me on Instagram as I post updates. Awesome. You're going to want to watch this space, especially if you have over $250,000 in any sort of small bank.

I did get... Any small bank. What's funny is, so my mom sent me a recall on my... Every time I feel like I'm on top of my shit, every single time I'm like, oh, I'm ahead of the game, I'm feeling good, I knocked out a bunch of stuff in my to-do list. Something happens to either my car or my teeth. That's how it works.

I go, I get my oil change, I get home. I'm kind of on top of the world. I can like work on the... Do you go to the dealership to get your oil change or just like a valvillane? So my car, I hadn't... Because my car's newer and they have an app for my car. You know, start it, stop it, lock it.

Oil change via app? It alerts me on my app that it's because it checks all my fluids in the computer and it's like you have to go get an oil change. And then you just one click both book it. And then it, whatever, I drop it off, whatever I come back. Anyways, so I'm on top of my stuff. I would have deleted the app. Oh, that's annoying

Oh, God. This is no longer serving me in the way that I needed to. So I'm on top, I'm feeling on top of the world the other day. I'm like, I can finally like go back through and knock out some stuff that's been on the back burner.

Like clockwork, text from my dad, make sure you get your car registered. And you've had that car for two years. I would rather drive my car into a CVS than like sore front than get my registration, get it registered. I wouldn't even know where to begin.

I think that's an online thing. Or I don't think you have to go into the deep. That's one of life's biggest mysteries. Yeah. I don't know. You know that mine's been expired. You have Pennsylvania. I know.

That one's, no, I have a California car. Did you see my license plate? You re-registered to California? They did it. I don't know. Brooke, what happened? But I had to change my insurance in and it went up $1,000. Isn't that insane?

For California. Because I was cheating the system by still being registered in Pennsylvania. Or insured in Pennsylvania. And now I have no choice. You haven't been insured in California? No, Ryan. Ryan, please be free. And it went up from $600 every six months to almost $2,000.

Right. Every six months. So it's hard for me to beat that system as someone with Texas plates. Because here, to get it registered, you have to get a smog check. In Texas, you get a safety inspection. Me too. I'm Pennsylvania. Can we think about that for a second?

where are priorities, California? Pollution or if my brakes work? Yeah. That's like... It's a good point. Yeah. But that's why we have pros to double check on how the pollution is affecting our hair day to day. Also, I feel like, correct me if I'm wrong, but we're like the most polluted state.

I can't correct you if you're wrong. I don't know. Because you don't know the information. That's fine. I'm going to go ahead and say that. We are the smoggyest state. It's because we are just always entered into them cars. Yeah, but who isn't?

New Yorkers. Yeah. Okay, but those streets are flooded with cars. Yeah, but there's like four people in each of them. Most polluted state, California. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I wonder if that's due to factories or like cows, you know?

Cars. I heard that cows are just troublemakers in terms of pollution. I've heard that too. It's true. Maybe next week I'll do a daily deep dive into cow. Cout. Which one's the bad one? Monoxide or dioxide?

Monoxide. CO2 is what comes out when we breathe. That's diocide. Seems like no one's talking about that. No, I think they... I can't, I don't know. That's why when you're hyperventilating, wait, when you're having a panic attack,

they give you the bag? Yeah. Does CO2 like calm you down or something? No, I don't think... Why do you want to breathe in more CO2 when you're having a panic attack? I don't think that cows are giving off carbon monoxide because then we'd be dead, right?

The farts are carbon monoxone. Is it CO2? Methane. Methane. Of course. We were going to get there. We were. Might have taken a second.

Yeah. Quick housekeeping item that I was supposed to say eight minutes ago. If you want to be added to our Instagram close friends story, swipe up for the Brook and Connor tier or TMG sign up is what I should have said. when I said swipe. Sign up, that is, for the Brooklyn Conner tier or TMG Studios tier on TMG Studios. com.

And click the link in the description of our bonus episodes to fill out the form. I think we missed a couple people, so we'll catch up on that. Yeah. Let us know if we missed you. We posted recent, we posted on close friends last.

We've been going ham on close friends. I've been posting the TikToks that have been like moving me to tears at night. And then I'll watch them in the morning and they're on close friends. And it's just like, it's so interesting to kind of process the space that I was in that those had brought me to tears.

It's an interesting thing to look at. So I would recommend subscribing if possible. If you feel called. Yeah. Speaking of the bank and whatnot, I guess why I saw the gym? Remind me? You want to play 20 questions?

No, I know who it is. I know who it is. I already know. Okay, who is it? Paul Muskell. Isn't that in nuts? Yeah, I didn't watch normal people, so I don't know how nuts that is,

Well, he was nominated. He was at the gym because he was here for the Oscars that he was nominated for. What was he in? After Son. Nominated for an Oscar, so he's in town, so he's going to go to Equinox, and I'm going to see him. That was a wild day because that morning I had removed Cole Spouse from my Tier 3 section of the crush list. Yeah. After seeing his clips, just the clips from Call Her Daddy, I had made that choice to remove him.

Sad, always a sad day when you remove someone. when someone has to go, you know? Sure. But where there is death, there is rebirth via the phoenix. I'm walking up the stairs to Equinox where these stairs are so narrow, Connor, that usually people like wait for the person to come down

until they go up, but I wasn't paying attention. So I moved forward, which is going up while someone was coming down, that person coming down, Paul M. Did you touch him? Not really, but like our energy, Like in the sense that like you're never touching someone, you know? Like your aura's like brushed. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly.

Kind of chilling. Yeah. I always make a point like if I'm passing someone like that like to kind of like just at least touch elbows. I think I was just so like what? Osmosis Jones. I also don't trust my vision a lot of the time. So it was like there's no way. So I had doubled back.

I put my stuff away in the locker rooms upstairs, went back downstairs, which I never go there. because it's a little bit, that's where like the machinery really is. Yeah. Not for me. But I had gone down there because there are some treadmills down there and I just parked myself on the treadmill next to Paul.

And just worked out for 30 minutes. Next to Paul, mescal, isn't that insane? That's a cool thing. You should add that. I made a notes page recently, like cool things that have happened so I don't forget. Oh, and I, so I had to add him to my crush list.

So when one, exactly, when there's death, there's rebirth. but then I had to put Cole back. Because you watched the entire Call Her Daddy. Because I actually did watch the entire Call Her Daddy and not the clips. And the clips were just like not necessarily taken out of context, but like the smallest part of the interview. Yeah. Like he said some really powerful things and he made me cry. That's crazy.

Yeah. So I had to put him back. So I would watch the whole Call Her Daddy interview because I've completely changed my mind when given more information. And that's the normal thing to do. That is normalize it, changing your mind when you get info. Well, good. I'm glad that, like, nothing really changed. It was just more the merrier.

It was just, like, a, yeah, a day of adding things and removing things and adding them back and changing your mind. Paul Mescal is such an interesting character because, like, when I look at his face, if I put him in Kansas. It makes sense. Hang on, no, I mean, he's just, he's a bit of a chameleon to me because, like, now he's British, right? Right. You put him there? Now he's British, yeah. I mean, like, current, in the current, in our...

He's not British. What is he? Irish. Put him in Ireland. Totally makes sense. Put him in a different setting. Having been, like, say he was born in, like, Kansas or Tennessee. Could also see that.

No, I see that. Put him in New York. Could see that. Put him in Florida. Yeah, I could see that. He's like a bit of a shape shifter, depending on setting. No, I agree. He made sense on the treadmill, whereas, like, if I saw, like, I don't know,

a different celebrity, I would be like, that doesn't make sense. You know, he fit in. He fits in. He's a chameleian, exactly. Probably like your height. Cool. Yeah, he's perfect height. And he's wearing the shortest shorts and he was sprinting.

And then get this. I'm not able to work out unless I'm watching the Amazon Prime Madison Square Garden performance of the 1975 concert. I have to watch that two-hour thing on repeat. And then I realized You're working out for four hours? No, I usually watch like 40 minutes of it And then I'll pick up where I left off

But it's been about four weeks of that So I've seen it about do the math, I don't know I was watching that next to him And he could very, he could see we were that close We were on adjacent treadmills And then I was like, oh shit, he probably hates me Because if he's seeing that Phoebe, his ex-fiance

Is kind of in the crew of Bo Burnham and Maddie Healy And he was probably hating That I was watching that Right. I felt awful, but I couldn't stop or else I'd have to get off the treadmill. It's a catch-22. It is. So it's possible that Paul hates me in a very real way.

You can't win them all. No, you can't. And it's kind of fun thinking that that person would harbor those feelings or you. To think about me in any way. Yeah, you're operating that's own capacity in their mind. Yeah. That's exciting. I tried to, I was late to the Oscars because I was eating soup in my car.

Right. The chili one? Yeah, the white chicken chili. With the corn chips on? Oh my God. Is that from Whole Foods? Gelson's. Gelsons.

Okay. Oh, you love Gelson's soup. I love Gelsons soup. So it's kind of just like a chili. Is Gelsons only in California? I think so, yeah. Okay. I like it because no one I know would ever go to Gelson's.

So it feels like a little bit of like going to your parents grocery store. It feels like a little home here. Yeah. Because no one's going to go there. And then there's the Whole Foods I told you where like, if I'm wearing a really good outfit, that's where I'll go. Okay. To see and be seen.

But otherwise, I like to operate. I like to move in silence like lasagna. Because I'm a real G. Walk me through that one. So. Silent G in lasagna? Yeah. How does that make it real?

Because I'm a real G. So I move in silence like lasagna. But wouldn't that be an unreal G in lasagna? Because you can't hear it. But in context of me, like I'm a real G. Right. Then you wouldn't be like lasagna. Well, I move in silence like the one in lasagna.

song. Oh, got it. So me and Gelson's, you might as well call it Elson's because we're moving in silence like real geez. Did you make that up? No. Okay. No, that's a Little Wayne lyric from Pussy Moneyweed. That's the only Lil Wayne song I know. Real G's moving silence like a lot. Bedrock? Six foot seven foot. Thank you so much.

Anyway, so I was late to watching the Oscars. I tuned in. Refreshing Award show, I have to say. I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed it too. It was very wholesome. I didn't see a ton of the movies. I saw everywhere, everything all at once. Did you like it?

You were confused. It was a little bit. No, I wasn't confused. Overwhelmed? Yeah. Movies like interstellar. I've still never seen that. And things like that were time and space are kind of melted into one.

Not for me. That's okay. I do think that it was brilliant writing. I think everyone in that movie was phenomenal. Totally. So now one thing about that, the man in the glasses that accepted, that seemed to be up on stage, every four seconds because they were sweeping this they brought a the dust pan and the mop because they swept that stage he needed to hand the mic to someone else the guy in the glasses the guy

who wrote the movie was he the writer of the movie yeah okay well I guess he must have written that speech too it was the same length as the movie it was he could not stop talking it I was I think he was excited in his defense but winning all those Oscars he could have dialed it back and handed the mic to like one other person I think every time he went up I was like how do you even know this many people to thank um

there's probably a lot of people with a movie like that to thank when I texted you this guy with the glasses needs to stop you said I agree well I'm just trying to give another perspective but yeah no I I'm agreeing with you I was just like really I well I always think like the speeches are always too long

for me except if you're Kihoi Guant Yeah Khoi Kwon He could stay up there That was For really special

I didn't know He's the kid from the Goonies Yes How special I like haven't seen the Goonies in so long It's worth rewatching Through his lens now

I love watching things Through different lenses Yeah You know Of different people Or different themes Always fun That was so wholesome

He's America's sweetheart He truly He did like Put him on the flag I want him to be the president. I do too. And I would listen to every key speech sobbing during his speech

because it's like, obviously people are genuine and excited when they win Oscars, but like there's always a bit of, of course, like there would be with, as there should be with anyone, there's like a bit of ego. Like, yeah, like I worked hard and I just, like I earned this and I deserve it, whatever. With him

it's just like, like pure awe and so genuine and it was like, he's just the most authentic. And tick genuine person in Hollywood. What's it called when you're like really appreciative of something? It starts with a G. Genuine? Grateful.

He was so like just like. Yeah. It was full of gratitude. Yeah. His cup overfloweth. He was just like the most genuine person. I wanted to get. I wanted to in the Oscars right there.

He should have. Yeah. Anyways, I really liked it. I thought it was cool. I also like just from an overview perspective, I think it was so refreshing because like I didn't feel the need to tune in. I wasn't, it wasn't being like overdone. I feel like recently what we've done is like everything that has happened recently. Everybody needs to be there.

They have 50 TikTokers promoting it. We've got, you know, like everything doesn't need to be. Everyone doesn't need to watch everything. Everyone doesn't need to be everywhere. Everywhere all at once. Good reference, good circleback. I'm just thinking like everything doesn't need to be Rihanna at the Super Bowl. Right.

You know, we don't need Tom Brady and Joe Rogan playing catch at the Met Gala. Did you see someone was like, I liked Rihanna singing, but it wasn't as good as the Super Bowl? It's not the Super Bowl. She didn't do 50 songs. She was doing the song from the movie that was nominated. I think that that was a really classy event, and it was like refreshing to see because it wasn't like forced. That being said,

what? The interview is on the red car, but I just missed Joan Rivers. That was like, that was entertainment. This now is just like, I don't know if I'm going to get pushed back for this. Because I like, I like Leverne Cox as a person and an actress,

but her interview style does not work for me personally. Because it's the exact same question every single time. What story is your outfit telling? And most people are just like, I like the way it looks. I look hot. Like, and let's leave it at that. It's the same thing every time. Who is it?

It's game likely. Go ahead. Sorry. That was it. That was it. That's all I had to say. Like, I'm ready for a different person. Well, the thing is we, it's not, it's not like interviewers anymore.

It's like famous people. Right. Why is Vanessa Hudgens like the person on the interviewing people in the red carpet? She probably wants to be interviewed. No, yeah. The only like genuine interviewer is chicken shop. Who I love. She's good.

Who I do love. She's really good. I can't say anything bad about her. Just like, do you remember Joan Rivers being out there? I do remember Joan Rivers. And people were, celebrities were scared of Joan Rivers. She didn't hold back. Right.

You can't do that. anymore. Everything that comes out is like, ooh, someone's looking good. It's like what happened to like... But it's also like an honor to be interviewed by Joan Rivers. I feel like the people now like people don't want to be interviewed. No, it's like please stop, please stop. Hugh Grant, please. Did you see Hugh?

Can we watch, can we pull that interview up? See, the thing about that is like he's a British dude. That's how that's how they interact. No, I'm... Actually, Graham is not an interviewer. Like, she didn't do anything wrong, but that's not her forte. Yeah. Let's watch this because I think we might have a different take than most people.

Excited to see tonight. To see? Yeah, well, I know that you probably watch a few of the movies. Are you excited to see anybody win? Do you have your hopes up for anyone? No one in particular. Oh. There was a different part where he just simply walked away.

It was bad. It was painful, but the thing is, if you watch this interview and he says, he mentions Vanity Fair. he's making a reference to a work like he's not talking about the vanity fair party the brand he's making a reference back and when she doesn't catch that and she's talking about the party he immediately his whole demeanor changes and that's at the beginning of the interview and also she was talking about glass onion with him and she was like how was it to be a part of that film he had two seconds he opened like not even a second yeah in the film and he was just like I wasn't

and she was like oh the reason this doesn't work is because, like, as an interviewer, you get a book and you study every person that you might see for months. That's your job. Asher Graham doesn't have time to do that. Right. She's a celebrity. Right. It just, like, wasn't an informed interview, and I think he was just like, I'm over it.

This is the academy's fault for not hiring people as interviewers. I think, yeah, and I think both of them, like, she, I guess, I don't even know if I want to say she should have been more prepared because it's just like, No, I'm not. It's on the academy area for hiring her. I'm not blaming her at all. I think she kept it really positive and really light, but this is just not how it should go. Right.

And I don't think I'm ready to blame. I guess he could have been like, I mean, that's just who he is. Like, he's dry. He's, this is just like that two grand. He's also a, A list. I don't know, like, they don't owe anything and he's not going to be affected by anyone saying

he was an asshole. Right. Interview could have been better. They could have, like, and it's not ashy grassball. They don't pay better interviews. Yes, but it's not her fault She's not a journey

No, it's not her fault Joan Rivers would have gone in there and said Joan Rivers would have been like, hold on, come back Why are you giving me anything to work? Hugh, give me something. What are you? You know, like, what's your, for me, I would have been so taken aback

but I would have been like, yeah, what are you scared of? What's like the scariest animal to you? Right. At that point, just like go completely up the real. Do you think global warming is good, Hugh Grant? Yeah, no, I'm not ready to fully condemn Hugh on this. Watch, can we watch when his demeanor changes when he makes a reference to vanity fair?

I think it's a film or a movie, but he's saying the vanity pair. Because think about what a vanity fair. It's like vanity. I would have done the same thing as Ashley. No, no, no, no, she panicked, but he's doing a very British, like, thing. Like, again, it's not Ashley's fault. And I feel like we're going to get in trouble. No, it's not, it's, I don't think it's either of their faults necessarily.

I mean, he was kind of an asshole, but I, that's just like it is what it is. You can't just be patting each other on the back nonstop and being like just unabashedly supportive of every single thing that everyone does all the time. Like, it's a celebrity high stakes event. It's the Oscars. Well, you know Hugh Grant was my first cardboard cutout. There's always little Easter eggs you're giving us every episode about some. That's the cardboard cutout that lived in my dorm. That's a good one.

Yeah. That's one where I say, okay. Yeah, watching over me. Okay, wait, watch when he mentions Vanity Fair. Okay. What's your favorite thing about coming to the Oscars? It's fascinating. He's smiling.

Yeah, no, nothing. It's Vanity Fair. Oh, it's all about Vanity Fair. Yes, that's where we let loose and have a little bit fun. That's when he loses her. Look at his smile thing. To see. Yeah, well, I know that you probably watched a few of the movies.

You went from smiling and like, oh, she did. didn't even pick up on my day. Your hopes up for anyone? No one in particular. Okay. Well, what are you wearing tonight then? It's too painful. Your suit?

Who made your suit? You didn't make it. I can't remember my tailor. That's okay. Shout out to the Taylor. Yeah. It's just like a different style of interview than he's used to. Like he's used to like very, like people who have done their research or asking like very specific questions.

And she, yeah, she's just not an interview. She also unfollowed me. on TikTok, by the way. All right. May she rest? And that's fine. I'm not mad at her, but I just am throwing that out there,

if I seem to be. That's gnarly to unfollow someone on TikTok. I've never unfollowed someone on TikTok. I think she, like, maybe I had made it up that she followed me in the first place, but she definitely doesn't follow me, and I'm pretty sure she did at one point.

That's fine, though. That's totally fine. Because normalize changing your mind, even if it means deciding that you want to unfollow me. Like, yes. Yes. Did we make any? statements, like any sense while talking about that? I think at the beginning we did and then we just

kind of went back and forth. So in summary? Everything is wrong. Everything about that is wrong. No one is really to blame except for the academy. Is that what we're saying? I think that like if you're going to have people interviewing, like this went viral for the wrong reasons. And now Hugh Grant, who's never going to see any of the backlash is getting stamped as like asshole. I think he was like just like really uncomfortable and thrown off because he didn't know what to say. Like, it's not a typical interview for him. Right. This is someone who wasn't in any of the movies, right?

So, like, he's there. What do you ask him? Right. You have to be prepared. As a comedian. Was he technically there for Glass Onion? I don't think so. Was he?

Because that would be a game, like, that would. Obviously not, because he was, he was like, no, I don't really care. But I think he's just someone who goes to the Oscars, like, every year. Yeah. He was presenting. He was presenting. Okay. He was presenting.

Because he's Hugh Grant. Because he's Hugh Grant. Okay. When you see, when you feel your, this is why I feel bad for Ashley Graham because like, I feel bad for both of them. She's a celebrity. She's an influencer. Like, she's a model.

She's not a comedian that can pick up when she realizes she's bombing and switch a subject and like read her audience. She's good at probably receiving interviews. And she was good at doing it, but it was just like very surface level confusing to follow. No. Yeah. I feel bad for everyone. Who were you wearing?

You think Hugh Grant gives a shart who he's wearing? Right. His tailor. he's wearing his tailor, which supports small businesses. He should have said the tailor's name, but he probably doesn't want to blow up the spot. Yeah.

Okay. You could do the next one because I feel like I'm caffeineed up going half. Okay, well, let's see. Oh, Jamie Lee Curtis. I, this is one of the biggest, what I have done at 360 or 180, if I've completely changed my mind. 180.

This is one of the biggest 180s I've ever taken. Yeah. Because when I had, I've talked about this, but I'll say it again, a year ago now I had gone to just like watch a taping of Jimmy Kimmel and she was on and I was like so upset by her presence. Yeah. Just because she is just a lot.

She is like so like like a, like I don't know if abrasive is the right word but like she in your face in your face comes on so strong and I was like I felt like like uncomfortable. Now I'm just like oh my God she is just like so herself like no one is going to tell Jamie Lee to be anyone else and she's not going to. going to like nothing will ever change this woman and I love that about her and she's a nut but like she owns it I think and that is and now I love Jamie Lee and she was nutting on stage like just like being herself like an absolute nut and I love it and I love her yeah like at first like when she got up there because she had one and she goes stop because everyone's cheering and she wanted to talk at first I would have been like, Jamie Lee, like, that's rude. Like, don't say that.

But now I'm like, shut up. Jamie Lee is talking. So I've just, like, really come around to Jamie Lee. I love her. I'm happy that she won. I was moved to tears by her, like, post. You know when they, like, interview you after you win, like, off of the stage? I was moved to tears by that speech that she gave.

And I'm completely forgetting what it was. But I know that I was moved to tears by it. Just she wanted the awards to be less binary and more inclusive of. They said, do you think your pain? parents are looking down on you and she said no I don't believe that they are looking down on me I don't believe that but I believe that they are like they are with me and and then I started sobbing. See like there she would have been great in that interview with Ashley Graham because it's not that deep. Right. Like literally say yes or no.

And then we got like several other A listers that need to get in here. I think Stephanie Sue should have won the award. Both of them to me were great. I voted for both of them on my ballot actually. Gotcha. Because I was doing a ballot. I thought Stephanie was going to win, but I kind of wanted Jamie to win,

but would have been fine with either of them. But I love Jamie Lee. I can't stress that enough. I would love her on this pod. Mm-hmm. What do you think about her? Don't be shy. No, I think she was great in Actaia.

Yeah. Don't be shy because I have said on this podcast that I hated her before. So don't be shy. No, I'm not going to say anything. She's not your favorite. No. That's fine.

Yeah. I get it. Recently. She's a strong personality. I think that like when people get too much air time, it burns me out. And that's what happened. I'm like, like every time there's just, okay. Well, the thing about Jamie Lee is you're right.

Like she just hasn't gotten this much airtime before she has always been this way. I can tell you right now. Yeah. Based on my experience with her at Jimmy Kimmel. Respect her. What do you think about Jimmy Kimmel? Okay. I feel bad now for.

any comedian that gets up there and has to do it. Like, he was such a limp dick, but I feel like there's so much risk of being... What do you mean by limp dick? Just like nothing? It was just the jokes were just like low hanging fruit gimmies. Like they even did the but um ch-ch-ching for one of his things. Because it was just like these things that were written for him. And I felt like it was kind of funny.

But like you're not going to get a Ricky Jervase ever again. We're never going to get that unless we do. And that was entertaining. Joan Rivers, Ricky Jervase. We have now been... got to a point where like Jimmy Kimmel's career could have been ended on Sunday if he would have made like an actual joke that people talked about. No one's how he matter because he was him because he was soft. Well, he tried recently by laying down on the floor to kind of make a joke and that he got like insane pushback from that.

So I think he was probably just like give me like vanilla. Yeah, give me softball. I love him. May I just say? I think he's a good. He puts a smile on my face. Yeah, he's a good person. He's one of my favorite jimmies.

He is my favorite. He is my favorite Jimmy. If I had to rank them, thanks for asking. Him is number one. I obviously, like, I know people hate James Corden, and I understand that he's an asshole. He's given us some good things. He, carpal karaoke, like, there has been some incredible videos that I watch and repeat from that. The crosswalk musicals, incredible material.

Everything with Harry Styles that he's given us, I can't hate him because he has given me things that bring me so much peace. He has to be the last of the James is, of course, just because of you can't love someone that has hurt so many people by being an asshole. You can't. But I do think that we have to appreciate some of the things that he's given us. I think he has a really good way of getting celebrities to over. open up. He'd be a good red carpet interviewer.

Sure. Yeah, let's reclaim him as... But he wouldn't be... What do you think he's going to do after late night? Yell at waitresses? Probably. Um, but anyways, Kimmel. I love him. So he had jokes and everyone was, is dogging on him for this like bringing Malala into the thing. I feel like you get, I feel like people... What exactly did he say?

Basically, he, well, he said Malala land, which I was like, that was, that was the most bold thing. I was like, why did that was unnecessary? And like, yeah, probably don't throw her name. Wasn't she shot? Yeah. Probably don't. Right. But also, she was there.

And it's Jimmy Kimmel and she's sitting on the aisle. I think that all those people got like a little bit of a heads up and I think their jokes were written for them. Mala never, like, laughed or anything. But she's not a comedian or an actor. You know, she's Malala. So I think, so when he asked her to speak on the Chris Pine, spitting on, or Harry Salis spitting on Chris Pine, did you see that? No, where was this?

This is, I even saw that part. He walked up and was like, Malala's here. I must have been on my phone. Malala's here. Malala, we have a question in from Sarah. Yeah, here it is. Harassing Malala. Was it the opening?

This is, no, this is like at the tail end. Oh. Work on human rights and education for women and children is an inspiration. As the youngest Nobel Prize winner in history, I was wondering, do you think Harry Stiles spit on Chris Pine? I only talk about peace. Great. You know what? That's why you're Malala and nobody else is.

I feel like people don't, like, I don't know this for a fact, but to me, like, everyone having, that's a great answer for Malala. Yeah. Sucinct. I think that it was, I think that they had a little bit of time to prepare and maybe someone, something, was written for them. I don't... I don't think that was like not funny on Jimmy's part. No, I don't either. I think getting crowd work done is awesome and you get to see like Malala.

I wouldn't have known Malala's there. Right. About Malala. Wait, so what is your takeaway from that moment? Was that like a lot of people like are that, that YouTube video was titled Jimmy Kimmel harasses Malala at... Oh. Oh, I didn't think that was bad.

No. Maybe I'm like... And then a bear ran out in a suit, like a fake bear. Yeah. He was like, Coca-Kimel. cane bear get off of Malala like let her like it was it was funny that's the whole thing like you have to have things for other people yeah i don't think that was bad and i really like jimmy kimmel i have to say yeah i guess that's really we have a lot more oscar stuff but should we not yeah we don't have to i think the glambot

needs to go to hell connor put anyone in the glambot like i'd rather be dead than get in the glambot like it is the biggest ick to me in the world like even andrew garfield in the glambot i can't look Like it grosses me out to see people in slow motion like that. People are not meant to be in slow motion. That's why we're in regular motion. Like it's not, it's not meant to be that way. There's something disgusting about it. One exception is Brad Pitt.

No. No, it is. I promise. No one. Like when we went to the AMAs, didn't you go in it? You went in something that put you in slow motion. Yeah. I was like, have fun.

But I was also moving my ass fast so that my slow motion would be regular motion. I'm telling you, like, if I am, like, crushing on someone too hard, put them in the glambot, and it'll not. That's your ick, that's my, that's my ick. Like, it is, like, repulsive to me. It was so cool to see a man in a glambot. But I've seen too many people I know in the glambot now. I'm like, I, like, ugh, gross. It's disgusting.

Speaking of disgusting, the beige carpet. Okay. Lapse in judgment. Okay. to be honest I didn't even notice it that was a big thing it was champagne colored carpet for this and there was no conversation about it

like there was no there was no reason it wasn't in honor of anybody it was just champagne didn't offend me I'm offended it looks like flesh to me I was like this is disgusting and I feel like it might have been so that people's

people's dress would really pop champagne to me washed out anyways I'm a very very big like if it's not broken, don't fix it person. The red carpet wasn't broken. Oh, don't fix it. Don't change the color of the red carpet of the Oscars. That is the red carpet of shows. Totally. Anywho, Dad. We can move on from the Oscars. We can get out of here. Okay. See you. You pick something. Okay. Hang on. We didn't even do weekend update because you went right into the

bank. Sorry, guys. Did you do anything this weekend? Who wants to hear about my weekend? I think all I did was was be on the treadmill next to Paul. And I just watched TV because it was a huge TV weekend. I had one really cool thing that happened. Tell me. And I'm going to talk about it because Brittany Burroughsky damned me about it. So basically on Friday, Hank had Quinn 92 over to make his hand with Quinn 92 and I are buddies, obviously. And he goes, he goes, did you hear that hosier might be coming tonight to this bar down the street? You know it's hosier?

Tomato tomato tomato. Just so you know. Tomato, tomato, tomato. Tomatoes or tomatoes. That's fully a tomato tomato. So Hozier was coming. There was a rumor and he was like, do you guys want to come, whatever?

To what? To town? What? He's going to come to, Hozier. To your house? Hozier was going to, there was a rumor he was going to come to this bar that's like down the street. And I was like, yeah, we want to go.

We rush over. The rumor had gotten around. It had spread and we waited for so long and finally got in and I hear my love is God. humor like sprinted in from the bar took a shot gone in

watched the song thank you guys so much for coming out walks off stage right after take me to church but it was good what was the like

the motivation for him to do that so it's Irish week because of St. Patty's Day oh Abby St. Patrick's Day Abby St. Patrick's Day that's all I did

the whole weekend that's all I did I didn't leave my apartment well it's been really shitty they're really running a train on us with this weather and the time chain

I've already told you how I'm feeling about the time change. Like I guess that's why I didn't leave the apartment. Oh no, it was Sunday. Daylight Savings. I knew it was coming. It was Saturday night. Yeah. So I was just in preparation mode this weekend.

Well, oh, I mean, there's just no point living in California at all when it's raining. Oh, I like it. Well, you'd like, I mean, the rain doesn't, you could be anywhere when it's raining. I like having an excuse to be inside. No, I like being inside and not feeling bad about being. inside. Yeah. Because like I'm always inside.

So it's like when it's sunny, it's like, damn, I should be outside and I'm not. So I feel bad. But when it's raining, it's like awesome. I'm inside and I have a reason to be. Whoa. Yeah. The weather is like gaslighting you justifying how much you're spending in rent in California. I guess.

Yeah. The ocean does that to me. Like sometimes I'll be in traffic and I'll look to the rain and be like, oh, you're, no, I always think like in terms of taxes, like you are paying for California. yeah. Sure. Like you're paying for the beach, you're paying for the, not having seasonal depression. Are you going to perp or something? Yes.

Do you want to go for it and then get back to me? No, it passed. But yeah, I was going to burp. Sorry, I hate when people talk through burbs, but I was saying something important that I already forget about. So, something about taxes and. Oh, gosh. I forgot. I knit a sweater for today.

Oh, let's see it. Does that say milf? Yeah. Yeah, of course. Nice. As you know, recently I've become a mom. Yeah. So this is my sweater for Frankie.

Man, I love Frankie. Oh. Yeah. So it doesn't fit. No, it's fine. It's good. It's like the size of Frankie. So it's good.

It's a teeny tiny. Yeah. So this is my, this is my mommy outfit. And I'm going away this weekend. So this is the first time that I'll be leaving her to Florida. To Florida. So that's scary. Yeah.

Which is like, you know how I wanted a guinea pig just because of the low maintenance piece? I'm bringing her to Megan. Our friend Megan is watching her. With a guinea pig. You can't. She'll explode. What do you mean? Did you look that up and confirm?

No, but like I know my daughter and she'll explode. But like, you can't bring guinea pigs. You can only bring cats and dogs as like emotional support animals, service animals. So she would have to go under and she would die if she went below deck. via Google but I have to bring her to my friends and like if you had a dog or a cat you'd literally just bring like the animal

and their food and like for a cat like I guess a litter box with Frankie I have to bring her playpen which is going to be one separate trip because that's massive she has two beds that she likes to sleep and she has her big blanket that she I have to drape over the playpen sometimes because she'll want to hide in that

I have to bring her hay her food, her lettuce. I have to go get her some new lettuce. I have to bring all of her blankets that I have to lay down on the play pen. So she has... So I have to bring... I have to take about 45 trips to Megan's.

And I have to bring Frankie. Wow. So it's like the most... Like, it is a task to have a guinea pick if you're going away. I can't leave again. Good on you. Yeah.

No. That's the... I would have to have someone... If you ever want... Because I know you have roommates. If you ever want to like live alone for a second, you should stay in my apartment with Frankie. Oh, wow.

Yeah, what do you think about that? What do you think about that? Do you? I'm asking you. Um, yeah. You would do that? Yeah, sure. You wouldn't.

No. Why? You would love having the space yourself. Yeah. Is it the location? Yeah. Really? Because you wouldn't be able to walk to the beach.

Yeah, I get my coffee. But you could walk to a different coffee shop. That's true. Change of scenery. Well, I'll sit on it. Okay. What if I went away for like, two nights. Would you do it for one night? Yeah, sure. Yeah, of course. Oh, to watch Frankie. Yeah, I would do that.

You would? Sure. That's really sweet. You still haven't met her. I know. Wow. That's so insane that like she's such a big part of my life and so are you and you guys haven't met. Bring her to the pot. I'm too scared that she's, I don't want to upset her. She's not just going to explode, by the way. She's on the plane? You could bring her in your car and you could bring her to the pot. No, I know she's not going to explode if I bring her here. I don't want to upset her. And like the thought of her being uncomfortable, like in the car or like being a little scared, like it breaks my heart. Brooke is constantly saying things that like are going to get her on a no fly list. Like she texts me all the time. She's like, I know my plane's going to go down.

And I'm like, you're on the plane Wi-Fi. Like you shouldn't send stuff like 19A, the lights lighting up. You always scare me. He's always like, like I'll say something like sure, like I probably shouldn't be texting. texting on and playing to him and then he's like Brooke like you're going to get taken off the plane right now they're going to emergency land and you can't say that to me because I'll believe you and I'll be like beside myself the rest of the flight good be aware of what you're sending via text message well it's going through their system no it's not they're not monitoring my

texts if you think they're not monitoring your tax to what all right it sounded like you about to If you think they're not monitoring your text that you're sending via the plane Wi-Fi, like they better be, I hope they are. You think I was going to go to jail yesterday. Should I say why I thought you were going to go to jail yesterday? Yeah, that was objectively not bad, but I did. She parked outside the Beverly Hills Hotel

just in the two-hour parking, just chilling her car to see if... That's legal. Maybe Andrew Garfield to stay in there and was sleeping. Listen, that's... First of all, that's fine even the way you said it. Like, I see nothing wrong at that, but it wasn't even...

Like, it was... There was an hour left of light, which I wasn't used to. And I, you know, I have my new cars. I was like, I'll go for a drive. I'm five minutes from the Beverly Hills Hotel. That's where I had found myself. That wasn't even my original plan. And I just was like, okay, that would be cool if someone, maybe Andrew specifically,

because I know he's staying there, walked out. That would be very cool. Yeah. There is no crime in parking legally. That is like the most legal thing I've ever heard of. I should be going to the polo lounge, which is the restaurant in the Beverly Hills hotel. That's where I saw Jimmy Fallon just singing.

I should be going there anytime there's any sort of event. There's no reason for me not to be. Can you just go there? Oh, wow. Connor, it's so fun. I want to go there. We should go. It's really fun.

The salad, you know about the salad? It's $50. I've never gotten it. But you have to be prepared to like spend, like a drink is like going to be 30 minimum. Oh, I'd be one of those like I'd be nursing my stuff. It's, oh, this is just eating small. But they're also really strong. So it's like I've never.

I'm talking about the salad. Oh. I'd be eating that. I've never gotten food. It would take me two and a half hours to eat that salad because I'd be trying to like extend my stay and make that worth it. No, that's something. It's like if. Paying rent to sit at the polo lounge.

If like a relative ever feels like they want to come visit me, then I'll be like, let's go to the polo lounge. Let's open up that. Yeah. That checkbook. Yeah. But you would love it. Let's go. Okay.

Okay. Holding you to it. Yeah. Maybe for my birthday. Yeah. That'd be fun. I'm down. Okay, that would be really fun.

I want to just talk about this thing that I got because I wanted to talk about it like last week. So I got this, I got this new app called the One sec app. One second a day? No. Every time I open Instagram, it redirects me to take a deep breath. Oh. And breathe out. And then it tells me how many times I've tried to open Instagram in the past 24 hours, 39 times.

Is it just for Instagram? Well, you set it to whatever you want. So if you're like scrolling on I don't need that. LinkedIn a ton. Negativity. Well, no. And then it,

you just say I don't want to open Instagram anymore or like I do want to open Instagram. And then it's you have to like your mood blanket, you have to answer like what is the reason you're getting on Instagram and it tracks. So it's like I'm anxious right now. I'm procrastinating right now. I'm on the toilet. That's good.

That's a good cause in mindfulness. Yeah, it's helped. Because the first day I did it, the first 24 hours, guess how many times I tried to open Instagram? 50 plus. 170. Yeah.

Is that your most used app for sure, right? Instagram or Twitter, yeah. Can you go to your screen time? No. Just, you don't have to say the numbers. Talk about I don't want to, I don't want to do a negativity today. I don't have to say the number. I just wanted to share that.

If anyone's working on mindfulness, that is, like, mindfulness is a good way to put it. That's great app for you. You know what my mindfulness is that I'm working on? Pausing. To think? Yeah, just like, because you know me. I like get, if someone says something that, like, makes me upset, it's like immediate. reaction. Yeah. So I'm just trying to like pause for a second and think like maybe you don't need to

react that way. That's really good. That's actually been nice. I feel like a lot of the things we talk about like these big strides for us are like very elementary things that you learn in like first grade. No I yes but also that's why like preschoolers like they're better at a lot of like honestly like as a preschool teacher like they were a lot better at like solving conflicts than I would be because they're learning that right now and they are like so cognizant of like okay this is what I'm saying I'm taking a break now I'm pausing I'm checking in with you like I don't do that you know so like bring back just like thinking about how to react we don't think we're sheep sure sorry that was a different totally different thing sorry like but anyway blanked out be mindful being mindful is huge um

mind if we do a science corner real quick? No, I don't mind. So NASA is monitoring an asteroid that could collide with Earth, potentially. Aren't they always doing that? On Valentine's Day in 2046. The reason I'm going to debunk this right away, although I love that they've already decided,

they can't tell me more than a percentage that it's going to rain and win, but they can tell me that on Valentine's Day in 25 years that an asteroid's going to hit? If I'm still single, I hope it. I hope it takes me. Yeah. Well, I already can debunk this right away

because I asked John or Hank Green, which everyone does science. You asked him? You asked Hank? Yeah. Or you did. Someone we know did. Someone we know did.

It wasn't me? It wasn't you. I've claimed it as my own story. No, it wasn't you. Well, it's mine now. Okay. I asked Hank or John Green. Hank.

Hank Green about asteroids because I'm always like thinking about him. And he said we've already checked every single one that has potential to hit They're not going to. He said that a long time ago. Sure. So you didn't ask that and it's old.

Don't care and having fun and ratio. What does that mean? Maybe it will say ratio? It means that my response gets more likes than your original thought. Does it? Is that what it means? If I ratio you, it's a better ratio than your original. Like you're ratioed?

You've been ratioed by that. Okay, cool. So the asteroid known as blah, blah, blah, blah, first discovered on February 26, according to European Space Agency, has now been added to the agency's risk list. That's the list that Brooks on for flying. And because of what scientists have seen so far, its ranking on the list is currently at number one,

but don't worry that doesn't mean catastrophic damage is imminent. Oh my good. Did I tell you that one, Frankie fell asleep on his strawberry? No. It was so cute. Did you take a picture? No, I didn't because I couldn't, like, it was on like,

her underside, her belly, and I couldn't, like, access that point, but she smelled so good like a strawberry, and she all red. It was so cute. I didn't even know strawberries have scents. What? I wouldn't be able to smell. Yeah, that's an artificial added scent. No.

If you smell a strawberry. Are you kidding? If you smell a strawberry, nothing happens. That is not. It's like a rose. That's not true. Rose don't smell. Carter!

The whole point of roses is that they smell. Can you guys all smell roses? Yes. Wake up and smell the roses. I have COVID. Well, have you never. been able to smell that? I was born with COVID. That's weird. No wonder you think smells the least important sense. That is so strange because you actually like bad smells perturb you so much,

but you can't smell strawberry or rose. No, you can't smell the good smells. Weird. So no one worry about the asteroid. It's totally fine. But there is a new science corner thing that I'm just going to bring up really quick in the 60 second minute of this podcast called because it's just a it's just a circle back oh I have two circlebacks really quick last things I'll talk about they are moving forward with reincarnating in quotes the woolly mammoth it's set to return in just four years how do you just like decide to move forward with a reincarnation it's time we need new animals I've been calling for new animals for the longest time and this is this is a good one it's harmless is one of them frozen

Yeah, plenty of them are frozen. Imagine if this beefcake comes back and he's hairy and he's walking around, that's going to be awesome. Where are they putting him? I don't, hopefully, like, California. I don't think. Something tells me that that's not the case. But there's plenty of those in the tar pits, no? And those are just on LaBreya.

I don't. They'd be right at home. I don't think that we will be seeing those in Southern California. something tells me, but hopefully fingers crossed. That'd be cool. Like they're going to come back the same way. So sorry. Okay.

Two quick thoughts. They're going to come back. I was thinking we could eat them and I'm like, imagine that rack of ribs. Like that'd be fun. No, Connor. We can't eat elephants. Oh, are they in the elephant genus? You don't look at that.

You're not looking at that and seeing an elephant with hair? No, not at all. Yeah, 99.6% match with an Asian elephant. which is why they believe they can bring it back. Awesome. Do it. I'd love an elephant with hair. Now it's going to make those,

the elephants look like naked mole rats. You know what? Like elephants, like if we weren't familiar with them and we just saw an elephant, that would be crazy. That's something that it's like a Pokemon. Yep. You know? Yep.

Yeah. Did you see Don't Look Up? Yes. So it's funny that this asteroid is now top of the talk of the town right when the banks start failing. And I say, connection because it's like oh an asteroid's coming now we're looking up while all the banks all the government takes care of all the banks so no one panics and takes their money out of the banks am i being a

conspiracy theorist okay i just have to say that like if i start starting to act a little crazy recently it's because that new that new for you following page on twitter has been bizarre i love that play no i know it's it was really fun at first but i got it everyone please buckle in for what i'm about I'm just going to hand Brooke my phone. And I'm going to hand you mine. Check out my for you. I'm going to hand you my phone for a screenshot of one I got this morning. Top of my for you page.

Brooke, go ahead and... Are we allowed to talk about the Taliban? I really don't know. I don't know. Okay. That's scary. I can't even read it. Like I can't even read who I got to...

I'm getting like a bunch of very, very, very strange for me tweets. And they're not for me. I do not claim these tweets. I'm going to say what I got. Okay? Yeah. And I thought it was a joke. I thought it was a parody.

Confirmed it's not. Oh. The Taliban Public Relations Department was the first tweet on my timeline today. And I was like, there's no way that Taliban has a PR department, right? Does that mean they have HR? Because I'm sure there's some flags for the HR department and the Taliban. But it said it's with great sorrow to announce that we've lost contact with our beloved brother. And they're just looking for one of their.

friends who's lost in the mountains. And meanwhile, I said, why is this for me? Why did you, why is this for me? I think it's because you interact with a lot of like political. Oh, no, I don't. Well, like finance, that to me is political. Bank. I guess like intrinsically finances are.

That's not pop culture. I'm just staying in the loop with stuff. I don't need the Taliban updates. I don't need updates from the Taliban. It will get this update I just got. Andrew Garfield and Oscar Isaac are in the talks of star in Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein. That's wild. I would appreciate that.

That's something that I would appreciate. Whoa. Okay. I'm going to wrap up with something non-Taliban related to lighten the mood. I talked to someone that works at Starbucks. I was wondering if those tips go to them. They do go to them. They pull them and they split them.

So tip your braces. Yes. They're working hard. Thank you, Connor. You're welcome. And chat GBT didn't give us an outro No, I was just going to say something about that. Okay.

Go ahead and with, Should we chat GBT to our outro too? Is it easy to just do that quickly, Izzy? Okay. What, right and, right, a short episode outro. Outro for, this is like the longest episode I think we've ever done. I hope, I hope people like it. Oh, I was, it was very, um, pop culture heavy.

There was a chunk in the middle that was all Oscars. There was, 40 minutes of Oscars. Okay. Do you want me to do it or you want to do it? Should we do sentence by sentence? Yeah. You go first. Welcome back, everyone. We hope you enjoyed our discussion today about self-care and mental health.
