Slow burns, second chances, chemistry you can feel through the screen.

Your next obsession is waiting. Watch only on Prime. Winter is so last season. And now spring's 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. Plan B is a backup birth control option that's there for you when things don't go according to plan. It specifically works after unprotected sex and before pregnancy occurs by temporarily delaying ovulation. Plan B is available nationwide at all major retailers and through delivery apps like DoorDash.

No ID, prescription, or age requirement. It's the number one OBGYN recommended brand of emergency contraception, and it won't impact your future fertility. That's Freedom to Be. Use us directed. Speaking of brains, I wish there was such a thing as like casual brain surgery, like the way you would go get your like bikini line lasered. They used to do that. Lobotomies? Yeah.

No, but I wish it was just like I don't know why with modern technology just for anxiety. Like clearly there's something in your brain that's different. Why can't you just like rearrange a few things? Well, because Big Farm really needs you to take your Lexa Pro. I know. It just like seems. I'm sorry. I'm not a brain surgeon, but like seems like it could be an easy fit. Maybe we call this episode.

Science Corner. Hank Green? Uh, what? Or Joe Green. What's his name? Hank. No, you're right. Hank. Hank. Hank Green? Yeah. Crash course. Hank Green. Who?

Brook and Connor make... Hank Green for dummies. Make science courses. Easily understood. Yeah. Yeah. There's got to be a way to condense that. You chilly? I don't know.

a B&C sweatshirt. Nah. I should have brought mine, though. I like the way you're pairing patterns today. I want to be, or like different prints, like camo with, what is that T-shirt? What is that kind of T-shirt called? A graphic T. Yeah, a graphic T.

Yeah. You should know that. You got an urban outfitters all the time. I know. But I don't have any patterned pants because it's really hard for me to find pants that fit. So it's just like, especially like, take it to the next level of them. being like a little funky, forget it. I don't know how to shop for pants.

I just get lucky. I actually don't remember ever buying a pair of pants. They've just been with me forever. I'm jealous of you. I've had these since I interned my first internship. Really? Yeah. They've aged well.

Thanks. It just means that I have the same body that I've had since I was 16. I would kill to have the same body that I had when I was 16, by the way. So check your privilege. I just think that maybe puberty is still on its way for me, which is good because that means my brain isn't fully. Fully against science. And everything science says that maybe my frontal lobes is not.

I don't know if puberty has a, is puberty directly related to brain development? The balls from the brain have a very close relationship. So true. Speaking of puberty, though, you're growing a mustache it looks like. You noticed. I like it.

it. Thanks. Come a little closer. You got to kind of get in the light. I mean it's very stubbly and prickly in a good way in a good way. A lot of stuff is stubborn. Are you going to keep growing it? I've been growing this since the mustache trend started after Top Gunn. So that's a few months in the making. Yeah. I've never seen you with this much of a mustache. Yep. And let me see it will catch on camera if I kind of get it in the light. Now are you? Right. There's 13 hairs. So when you're growing that, you're not shaving anything. I am. I'm shaving my chin. So you are shaving your chin. Okay, that's what I was going to have. Yeah, I'm just kind of shaving up to here. Would you ever grow hair like here? That's just not in the car. It's for you.

No. No, I can't. Yeah, physically can't. We had the armpit carvers. I mean, look at my... No, I know. I know. I just... See. Yeah, well, thank you for noticing. I do like it. For audio only, I'll just give you... It's darker than the rest of your hair. Yeah. Why do you think that is? Well...

Science-wise. What's your... hypothesis. There's a myriad of reasons where that could happen. Maybe. Like evolutionarily, why would your mustache hair be the darkest hair you could grow? That's a good question. Yeah. I think maybe maybe there's a darker side that comes out with this mustache. Maybe I'll start smoking cigarettes. No, that wasn't my question. Like not rebranding wise. Just science wise. Why would that be dark? I don't know. Like my mustache is the darkest as well.

Why would that be? I don't know. I'm trying. I can't think of one. I remember one time in bio class, one of the extra credit questions was why do you think evolutionarily, like we have boogers? Why do we have boogers? I think to keep things, harmful things from getting into your nose.

No, that's what our nose hairs do. Oh, maybe it was nose hair. Yeah. Which by the way, yesterday on the way to the thing I had to go to, I was in the car and I was like, what the hell is in my nose hair coming out of my nose. I get that we evolutionarily need the nose hair to stop things. But that's overstepping. Mose hair?

You do your thing in here. And coming out is overstepping? Yeah. Yeah. You could shave your nose hairs. I had to freaking buy. I had to pluck one in traffic. Yeah.

Which like, you need, you always need to keep a pair of tweezers in your car. Because that's where you notice the most dangerous hair. I know. And guess what? What? This nose hair almost caused a 20 car pocket. pile up on the 405. Because do you know the pain of plucking one singular hair out of your nostril going 75 miles per hour?

You also tweeted that an itch on your foot was going to pop up. I mean, I had a lot of possible pilot. Well, I had to go to Anaheim yesterday. It's a two-hour drive. It's a two-hour drive? And when you leave at 4 p.m. I need to be there by 6. Uh-huh.

Oh, yeah. So I got a little itch on my foot. But I also, because I didn't want to tweet about the fact that I was plucking my nose hair as while driving. That's fair. So I just read it on, to just start several, you know. Would you rather have an itch on your foot or have your sock be falling down a little bit?

I don't know. And this is just not a good conducive conversation for a healthy conversation moving forward. But I forgot what we were talking. Oh. Your mustache? Yeah. You said, oh, okay. So yeah, the mustache.

This isn't going to make sense. Okay. No, this isn't going to make sense. But, you know, in science out there in the world, females, um, you know, Um, what is that thing? I love when we talk about science. Yeah. Okay.

I can, I can get there. I can get us there. I can get us to completion with this conversation. And we got to have one succinct conversation. One succinct conversation that ends. You know, has a beginning and an end. Yes. We never do that.

Okay. So in science. Yes. You can find this in a textbook if you wanted to. The male and the female, like say like a fish. Okay. The male is always, the male is always more colorful. And this goes to birds.

This goes to fish and birds. I can't really think of any other animals that this would apply to. Frogs. The male is usually way more colorful. Yes. Peacocking. Peacocking. Because the female has to be with the eggs and be more camouflaging the male can strut its stuff.

And really. And then attract more maids. No, no, no. No. Yes, because evolutionarily you would want him to be, have more maids to impregnate more women. Evolutionally. To have more children. No, but he's supposed to.

Because that's the purpose of the world. He's supposed to distract the predators from going to the nest and eating the young. That too, maybe. Anyways, that's why my mustache is so dark because it. You're peacocking. That's it. Okay. Whoa.

We got there. Yeah. That was a full circle. That was good. Yeah. So yeah, so for some mustache ASMR for people that are listening. Yeah. I really feel like I'm more sharp because I've been on a health kick for the past few days.

Let me give them the mustache ASMR real quick. Are you guys picking that up? Did I make it through the wire? What's so scary is? I was like, wow, we sounded really smart. Listening to that back is going to be the most painful thing that either of us have ever done. Yeah, I actually figured out that one of my teachers,

that's a younger teacher actually listens to this. That's horrifying. Using my degree. Did I ever tell you about what happened to me in bio class one time? No, but do you want to tell you your, health kick or your body class? No, the health kick was just a one-off comment. Oh, okay.

Yeah, I didn't have a story. Thanks. I've just been eating a lot of kelp noodles. Yeah. Whoa. It's just a healthy alternative to like pasta. Yeah. Yeah.

It tastes good. Yeah, if you like douse it in pesto or something. Yeah. But once in bio class, we were talking, we spent like, I don't know, a week and a half on how whales are mammals and not fish. That is so weird. And then, like, at the end of the end of the. unit like my teacher was kind of going over the summary and was just like okay who can tell me how

whales breathe and i like raised my hand i was with their gills like obviously and then she wrote she wrote like the stupid question stupid question she wrote brook's idea on the whiteboard and then said what does everyone else kind of think of this and everyone was like no with their mammals so they don't have gills and she crossed out like violently crossed out brook's idea with three different colors and left it on the whiteboard for the rest of class. So just like as she kind of lectured, Brooks idea was crossed out in three different colors was there for the whole class. I wish you would have met God when he was on day one because they should have gills. They should have gills. Yeah. What do they breathe out of one little hole? And then, you know,

they have a mouth. I'm thinking back in like a lot of her teaching strategies to not help me because I also was confused during mitosis and meiosis. And we had like paper cells that we would organize. And I organized my wrong. And she ripped them up and threw them on the table. Well, that's funny because that's mitosis. It's the split. Oh, maybe that's why she did it.

I took it as an attack. Yeah. That's a good therapy topic for tomorrow. Totally. Well, shoot. Well, where do we? Yeah. So I guess we close up on the science conversation.

Hey, guys. welcome back to Brooke and Garner make a thing podcast we are what is this this is episode 30

30 flirty and thriving yeah name that movie godfather okay yeah oh that was good okay yeah

yeah so um yeah so uh they're welcome back 30 going yeah we've loved every inch of every

episode that we've done. It's weird because we've recorded in advance. This is retroactively. Because we've got two next week coming out. And then week after that we've already recorded. Yeah. Because you're going away. Yeah.

And we have a really special episode for you today consisting of all of the normal stuff we would do in an episode normally. And we want to remind you guys real quick. First of all, thank you guys so much. We got a bunch of like DMs about people already buying the merch. Yes. We're so proud of you. So proud of you and everyone

and BNCmerch.com is where you can access. It's still up. It's still up. Take your time. Go as fast or as slow as you want. It's there waiting for you. When you're ready.

When you're ready. Able. Anyway, we missed our like catch up because we were kind of talking about science. Well, we also have to say, so I'm out of town. I leave, when you guys hear this, I'll be leaving tomorrow.

and then I don't get back for two weeks. So, but when we get back, bonus content, like, we're back in such a big way. Oh. We're back. With bonus content, probably. With bonus content on its way. So, hold tight. That's going to be really fun.

And then also reminder next week, next two weeks, we're doing mailbag episodes. So that's like Q&A style episode. And I think that some of them are best. There's some interesting stuff in there for sure. For sure. For sure. Stuff you're going to want to tune into. Yeah.

Yeah. But yeah, catch up. You do anything fun? Well, I haven't seen you. So we saw each other Tuesday and Wednesday. Mm-hmm. I went to Odazza, the DJs. Right.

On Thursday. Great show. Did they do anything I'd know? Yeah, they sing the song. Well, they don't have words, really. Then I wouldn't. You really enjoy listening to music without words? Sometimes.

Yeah. well you can kind of just move the way that your body like instead of trying to listen to words i like jazz yeah but jazz has words a lot of the time um no it does what jazz has words oh yeah you're right like any like kenny chastney no i know Kenny Kenny g does not sing he plays his ex-phone that's completely just jazz oh um but there's definitely jazz but odes was really good I did shrooms. Oh, tell me about that. Okay, so I meant to bring the bar today.

So I, by the way, shrooms, I, this is kind of like how I told you that my parents, this is like, burned into my soul. My parents, when I was growing up every time, by the way, we talked about this on Matt's podcast or on Todd's podcast, but we didn't talk about it on here. When I was growing up and I wanted a pet and I went through a lot of pets, they didn't die. I usually would just release them. I was watching a lot of, like Steve Irwin. I thought all animals need to be put back into the wild,

even though they weren't native to where I lived. Like hamsters probably shouldn't be running around the golf course. And they did. So every time I wanted a pet, like a hamster, I'd have to write an essay and like present it to my parents and do all the research. And I would have folders. And I would have to do all the Wikipedia stuff

and then write like a three-page essay. Right. At frogs, it snakes, hamsters. I can't even remember. Pig. I really love that approach. Yeah. Because my parents were just like flat no.

Yeah, well, it's just like why. You had the opportunity to present your case. Yeah. Well, my parents are easy like, they like animals. And so like anytime it would show up, like if I found an animal on the side, they'd be like, mm, okay, we do have to take care of this. I have to beg on my hands and knees for a beta fish. Probably because you killed so many frogs in your garage.

That was not my fault because no one told me how to take care of them. I thought I was doing the best that I could. I know I was doing the best that I could. Right. So if you would have written an essay, you would have known. I didn't have the opportunity. Yeah. You know why?

Actually, this is a perfect example. I was sneaking them. And so that's what happens when your parents aren't in on it. When you don't have the opportunity to write an essay to your parents, you go behind their back and you do it in an unsafe way. Yeah. Yeah. So that's why all parents should be involved and supportive of you getting a pet.

Yeah. Because otherwise you're just going to do it and the frogs are going to die. It's your parents' fault that those frogs are. I know. You should take them this one. flames. Okay, so anyways, I've done my research on like shrooms. There's so many health benefits. It's insane. Yeah. And this is not financial advice. I'm taking shroom supplements. Yeah. So I take lions.

I'm shrooming every morning. Yeah. Every day. There's a lot of like non-psychedelic shrooms do. Also I've not ever taken enough to like, my ear microdosing. Yeah. So I did some. Yeah. So on the back of these things, it's like it comes in like a chocolate bar. It's from Venice Beach. There's a lot of people you can get. of them. And I got Reese's flavored. You would be freaked out because... You could buy one at the boardwalk? No. It's like from some... But it's

like beautifully packaged and like it looks awesome. Which by the way, this is like my parents' big argument against like weed. Edibles. Is they look and they taste so dank. Like if I was at the movies and I bought what I bought, I would eat the whole thing. Zero hesitation. It tasted so good.

Which I did in high school. I was like, I'm so hungry. eating half of this edible, I'm like, need to eat the other half, and then lights out. But, um, so on the back it has instructions and it's like, there's 15 squares in a chocolate bar. And there's three in each row, geography. So three, so it said like one to four is microdose. Microdose is like, you just like feel good. Right.

Like taking one head of weed. Four to nine is therapeutic, is how it's described. Okay. And then nine to 15, which would be the whole ball. is described as God mode. Okay. And so I was like, I do want to dial it back from God mode. I don't think I'm in a place that I could contribute to, yeah, and I'm not actually

ready to meet God. I've got some skeletons in my closet. But. I have no desire to meet God ever, by the way. That's like, that's going to be tough. Maybe you'll get there. Just like never need to meet her, you know? Yeah.

She'll be excited to meet you, though. She's ready. So anyways, I took three Because that was one below the max microdose And we all took three And we're at this venue And I'm just like, I'm in a haunted house This is the scariest thing ever

Like I'm keeping it super cool But I'm like, oh my God Like I'm holding my water bottle I'm like I feel like the water bottle's mad at me Type thing like I'm like looking at There's like pictures of Elton John And I'm like he's going to eat

eat my face off. Not like that intense, but I was just like, this is so freaky. Like, everyone's looking at me and there were people. Was it like a bad paranoid feeling? Yeah, it was paranoid, but also like... I thought you couldn't get paranoid off of shrooms. I get paranoid off of like an iced tea. So I like, I was freaked out and it just like had me in there. And I know that everybody else was like having time of your life, which was making me laugh because like I was with my friends and they were all on the same amount. So I was like, this is fun. And the music was really good, but it had like a peak of like the paranoia that you get with weed and then what kind of dialed down.

But it was just like fascinating that some of the most influential artists of art, not even art, like the Beatles were on acid and stuff and writing songs that like won them a Nobel Peace Prize. And I'm like, I think this ice cube is going to like grow legs and crawl into my shirt. You know, like that's where I was. So I just don't fully. But you're making comedy out of it. Yeah.

Oh my God. Yeah. That's your art. That's your art. And that's your craft. often. Well, anyway, so I text the girl in the next day, and it like went away before the show was even over, and I was like, okay, that was like stupid. I don't know why. I, like, wasted so much time in my head being like, oh, my God, like, I was just going to last eight hours. It lasts like

42 minutes. Um, but I texted the girl who was like, oh, I had the past, blah, blah, blah. And she was like, I was like, okay, so those doses were written for like a large moose. Right. And she was like, holy shit, I meant to tell you that. Like, I usually take a frack. I usually take a fraction of one before I go out. And so I, like, quadrupled what she takes and went to, like, a concert. Wow. So do you think you were in God mode? No, no, no. I was totally, it was totally manageable. And I actually, like, had fun. And, like, that's why they put the lights and stuff that are so crazy at those shows. Because, like, it's a, it's a presentation for people on drugs. Oh, I was like, or people that are really, like, AV, you know, lights and sound. Um, but, like,

this band has like a drum line that comes out and plays and it's all live and they had fire and they had confetti falling down and like fog that came out to the lasers look like they were it was really cool it was a cool show but i want to show you one part that happened did you see my close friends by chance um when i was like by the way i'm kind of freaking out and they're playing these visuals on the screen i don't know i might not it might not have been like a with sound okay well it was just viewing it was sure i saw it it was it was Thursday night and this is the visual that was playing on a screen. I can understand that if you're

like on any level close to God mode, how that could be terrifying. Well, God mode I think would have made me pretty much invincible in any sort of scariness. Really? I think God mode is like out of your mom. The description of God mode was three words instead of like the therapeutic and microphones. They're like, this is how like

the three word description of God mode was Walls might melt. Right. I was like, how does that make me God if walls are melting? I think it's just like seeing so many things. I have never done trumes and I just would be so scared to.

Because anything that could alter my brain, I can't even imagine. Yeah. Well, I've been kind of like playing with them by myself. And like I've taken, you know, because I have pretty bad ADHD.

Yeah. And so I like looked up, yeah. I mean, I can't speak to the science, obviously. We talked about mallards and clownfish this earlier. And that didn't, I don't think it presented the way we wanted it to.

But like I had a bunch of stuff from IKEA I had to build, but I couldn't get out of my phone. And so I took like a little bit. And I just had like the best most focused experience ever. Whoa. Yeah. By myself. Speaking of brains, I wish there was such a thing as like casual brain surgery. Like the way you would go get your like bikini.

line lasered. They used to do that. Lobotomies? No, but I wish it was just like, I don't know why with modern technology, just for anxiety. Like, clearly, there's something in your brain that's different. Why can't you just like rearrange a few things? Well, because Big Farm really needs you to take your Lexa Pro. I know. It just like seems, I'm sorry, I'm not a brain surgeon, but like seems like it could be an easy fix. Oh, by the way, thank you guys for DMs. I do not have a cyst. I, I don't have a cyst. saw that. A lot of people were like, I have the same thing.

I know what it is. But no, they didn't feel it like I did. Right. Yeah, it is, it just protrude in a way. Let me see. Can I feel it again? Of course. Dig in here.

Did you just shower? Yeah. Guys, I don't know. It is definitely hard. So. It's my school. I think it could be. It's my school for effect.

I think you might be good. Yeah. I know. What did I do? Yeah, what was your weekend? I don't know. I saw my friend do stand up. Yeah.

And she was so good. Yeah. And I just like everyone was so good and it made me depressed. I really envy people who can go see something and it motivates them. Yeah. Like imagine like being motivated by other people's success instead of going into like a violent depression. That would be incredible. But I was just like, oh, I don't do that and I can't do that.

So I'm bad. But anyway, she was great. Um. I've seen a lot of movies recently. Are you on A-List, AMC? No, all my friends are. It is. I've spent five memberships worth in just getting tickets.

It's, if you see one movie a month. Yeah. A-List is $30 a month. You can see three movies a week without paying. Well, are there even that many movies? It doesn't matter. Like, it's just worth it if you're going to see one a month. Yeah.

So I saw, I mean, it's just there's no better loyalty program. I will know. never go to another chain. Why would I? But I saw Body's, Body's Body. How was that? I enjoyed it. It wasn't like breakthrough amazing?

No. I don't think, and I don't think it claims to be, is the thing. Like, I love movies for just what they are. It's 824 though. Yeah. I feel like, see, these people are getting a lot of press. I obviously love Rachel's Senate. I saw her stand up.

She was so good. I saw her stand up and she was so so good. She was so funny. She was so funny. She was the comedic relief in it for sure. I heard Pete is only in like, Pete Davidson's only in like one scene. Yes.

In the back. No, he's not in one scene, but he's... Do they have sex? Oh, don't tell me. Oh, okay. And then Lee Pace Gregg is getting a lot of, uh, hype. I just saw him on Twitter this morning. Is he a comedian?

I don't know. Um, I would say the men... Oh, wait, not Lee Pace Greg. Just Lee Pace. He plays Greg. The men were not in it that much. So it's a girls trip? You could say that.

It's kind of like a who-done it. Oh, I love who doesn't. It's technically horror. Yeah. Yeah. But it was really, really entertaining. There's, by the way, I've been seeing, like, Chloe Cherry even, just got picked up. There's a lot of dromedy and horror comedies coming out right now.

I like horror comedies because it's comedic relief to, like, gore. If I could be in anything, I would want to be in that. Yeah. I think you're going to manifest it because this is, like, the third time you've said that. I know. I want to be an American horror story. Which, by the way, the new season of that show is pretty good. Trash.

The stories. You didn't watch it. Yeah, I did. What episode did you watch? Bella Thorns. Oh, that was horrible. Trash. Really, really bad.

No offense to Bella in the slightest. But the first two episodes were really good. The writing is just like... So I'm with Schmidt from New... There's an episode with Schmidt from New Girl. It was good. It was so good. But even like the camera work and the way they put it together is not as dark.

That episode was like atrocious. It was like I feel... It was like a student film. I agree with you. I was not... I wouldn't... I'm actually sad that that that's... That's the one you saw.

But the first two episodes of American Heart Stories, it's not American Heart Story. So good. I would love to be in one. Is that on Netflix? No, it's on Hulu. Hulu. But I also saw where the Crawdads singe last night. Incredible.

I'm shocked. I think a lot of people are hating on it. I think that just blew over really quick. Yeah. You know what I've been seeing? I think so many people read the book and that's where the hype was that no one really cares about the movie. But I read the book and saw the movie.

movie and thought they were both incredible. I don't know any of the people in it, but you know Daisy Edgar Jones. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know. She's so amazing. But I think everyone else was pretty a new face to me.

Oh, I like new faces. Yeah. I don't know if you would like it. Although maybe the piece of the side of you that likes Titanic. Oh. No, Titanic would like this because I sobbed my eyes out. Oh. Yeah.

34% on Rotten Tomatoes. I will not be going to see it, but I'll take your. That's stupid. It was really good. I do like craw dads, though. What are they, by the way? Is there no actual visuals to crawfish or crayfish or... It's a bird.

Crodads or... No, it's not. Do you know... Can we type in a Crawdad? Okay. That is not a Crawdad. Yes, it is. You're thinking of a crayfish.

No, I know what it is. Can we just type in Crodad instead of bird and just see what it is? that's a crawdad then why is it a bird in the movie and book maybe it's a heron that eats them but that's not no the crawdad's are birds where the crawdad no that's the sound that a crawdad makes is like I don't really care about the sound

I'm just saying that's like where the crawdad's saying that's like very southern Louisiana Texas kind of thing Crodad can refer to any freshwater crustacean from the genus estex or genus but in the movie and book it's a bird I'm positive. I'm positive about that. It's not historically correct.

It's fictionally. I think there's got to be both. I think we can both be right. There's not a world because you're not going to go to a crawdad boil and see a bunch of birds boiling a lot of a pot. Yeah, it can be whatever. It's interchangeable. You know I've never been to one. They are so fun.

I know, I bet. But I will not be eating. any crawfish. You don't like them? No, I have beef against crustaceans. Really? Oh yeah. They're also called mudbugs. If that's not enough for you not to eat them, I don't know what will be. I love shellfish. Yeah? It's very good for you, I think. No, I don't think it is. Well, it's not if you dunk it in butter, but otherwise, I think it is pretty good for you. I think shrimp is pretty good for you. I won't even touch a shrimp. I know. It's so crazy. I love shrimp. Nasty. Okay, well, to get back on track, which is thing to see to get back on track because there is no track we had a really slow just week in general

because we i think because we recorded so much last week so there's nothing like really to report on but we're going to do a better job of kind of diving into stories instead of you know just like the headline and then being like i don't really know what happened here let's move on yeah yeah um where do you want to start this week there's a lot of like um okay i learned from a ticot this week that eggs are called sunny side up eggs are called sunny side up. Oh, we're doing. The sun side is facing up. Yeah.

The side that looks like a sun is facing up. I knew it was because that side was facing up that they were called sunny side up eggs, but I didn't really put the pieces together that it looked like a sun. It looks like the way you would draw a sun in elementary school. I guess I thought it was called sunny side. That was the sunny side because it was like runny. Sunny kind of rhymes with runny. Oh.

You know. Yeah. But it looks like a sun. That's why they call it that, which is news to me. And that's the only thing I had to offer for today. That's the only thing that was on our shared notes that I could contribute. When we built out the structure for today, that was that was Brooks. Oh, no, this has been on my list for a long time.

And this has been building up and building up for weeks. I have just, I don't know if it's been happening all the time and I'm just noticing it now or there's been like a pandemic of it. People crossing the street. What do you do if there's a car waiting and you're, crossing the street. What kind of speed are you walking with? Kind of pick it up a little bit. You pick up the pace. Yeah. Of course. When I have been just kind of like waiting to turn into crosswalk,

it's like people are intentionally moving at a glacial pace. I think that is the worst thing that someone could do. Like in ever, I can't, I literally can't think of a worse thing that anyone could commit against another human. It's just kind of like... Pick up the pace. I'm sprinting. Yeah. It's kind of like just this

smug thing where it's like, do you realize the dynamic here? Like, I'm in a, I'm in something that could take your life and you're just kind of. No urgency. That's the thing. It's no urgency. Maybe I'll cross. Maybe I won't. Maybe we'll cross.

Let me check my email. It's like a lot of the time. I'll give a friendly wave to the car. Oh, when they don't wave. If I, oh, get this, Connor. If I'm in a car and the other person's in a car and I let them go and they don't wave, I want to follow them and ram into them. I've tweeted that.

You have? Yes. Oh. I genuinely didn't know that. I've tweeted. I don't get road rage. Like, you can cut me off, whatever. If I let you out in traffic and you just pull out right in front of me.

Without a wave. It's the waving piece. Like one of humanity's worst crimes. I really think that's the worst thing that. Yeah. It makes my, it's one of the deadly sins. Making my blood boil.

If cars were around. during the time of the Bible, that would be in the sin section. I really think. No, no courtesy wave. Yeah. You know how Jeep people have the Jeep wave? No. You don't know about the Jeep wave?

Oh, you got a ride around in a Jeep. What's the Jeep wave? So when two jeeps pass each other in the night, even in the day, I don't know why I said that, they give the little... Oh, just if they both have Jeep? Yeah. But wouldn't anybody with the same two cars do that? like I feel so much respect for other people and raves yeah well no it's not the case it's called the Jeepway for a reason I can't believe you didn't

know about that no I didn't yeah yeah it's incredible you gotta just like watch out for it's really special okay I'll keep my eyes and then if you ever rent a Jeep or something just know that you got to do the way it comes with the comes with the territory okay I wanted to talk nah I don't want to talk about any of my notes really I just want to make like a PSA for people this is our Brooklyn Connor notes section by the way still. If you text me a link to a TikTok, I'm not opening it. I think I speak for like a large community of people.

Send it to the DMs on TikTok. You know, like if you send me a DM and you send me eight, I'm going to go through all of them at one time on TikTok. You start sending me links. I'm pretty close to blocking you. I'm not going to respond. And I'm not going to open it.

If I'm in my message, that's where I am at the moment. That's where my head's at. I'm not going to click your link and go over to TikTok and then hop back over it. I don't know if that's... I hear you, and I agree with you 99% of the time.

Yeah. Unless it's like you need to see this now. Sure. And I also will say just from a you perspective, you go through month-long periods of not opening the app. So there will be a time we'll all need to text you the TikTok

because I know that you're not going to open the app. That's fine. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah, so that's kind of, if you're talking about me specifically, know where my intentions are coming from. Yeah, if I get like a holy shit with a link to a TikTok,

I'm like, okay, I'll open this right now. Right. But I hear what you're saying. Otherwise, I have a picture I wanted to show you. Unless you want to talk about either of your other notes. That's like snap streaks. Well, I lost my big snap streak. Oh.

I didn't know that people are aged like don't really use Snapchat. I use it as like. I use it, but not for streaks. Well, I just had this streak that was 1,600 days long. and I lost it. And I emailed Snapchat, which is just something that I didn't think that, like a low that I didn't know that I would visit.

Right. At my age. And I did, and they wouldn't give me my streak back. So it's just like a new era of my life where Snapchat, like the first thing I open isn't really the case anymore. My first thing usually during the day was to kind of get that streak back. Right. Well, I'm sorry for your loss.

It's okay. Okay, I'm going to show you this picture. All right. And I want you to describe what you're seeing. Okay. I am looking at a photo from a red carpet. I'm looking at Brooke Shields

and Vanessa Hudgens with two children. Okay. And one of them maybe, I don't know who that one is. I think one of them might actually be Olivia Jade.

And then is the other one Oh, he looks so familiar. Oh, and they're at the high school musical something premiere high school musical too oh i recognize that there's a boy you're doing you're not doing bad there's a boy with them who i don't who i recognize that i can't i would i would not focus on the boy he's not the focus okay well then all right to explain it to me so this is you're right about vanessa hudgeon's at one of the high school musical premieres this is cindy crawford does that help at all i thought it was book shields yeah yeah yeah because that is olivia jade then no who's her daughter or son

Kaya Gerber. Oh, it's Kaya Gerber. Okay, so this is Kaya Gerber. This woman, Vanessa Hudgens, was dating Austin Butler for years and years and years. Years and years and years and years. No, that's not Austin Butler. This is now Austin Butler's girlfriend, Kaya Gerber. Oh, whoa.

Yeah. So this is the picture, by the way. Vanessa Hudgens, this full adult woman was dating Austin Butler. And now a few years after this because I think she was still dating Zach Efron here. Oh. And now this little girl who came to meet Vanessa at a meet and greet is now dating Austin Butler. Cool, huh? No.

What are you thinking? That is so icky to me. The people that are like, oh, like my, this is going to upset a lot of people, sorry. I still can't wrap my head. You know, when they say once you pass a certain age, like age difference doesn't matter? Yeah? No. You don't feel that way.

No. I don't know if I'm like hyper fixated on stuff, but like, That would be enough to give me like an ick. So you would not date a 20 year old? If I was like, say I'm like 35 and I couldn't talk. Austin's 30 and she's 20. Yeah, I couldn't talk to like a 25 year old if I was 35. There's just too much like I can't.

That would be well maybe that's more doable. I don't know. I just can't picture something like that and being like when you were a literal child. Like I was I was getting into bars. legally. Yeah. That feels gross. I go back and forth.

Because I'm like, oh, yeah, you're right. It's icky. And then I think about, like, all the 38-year-old I'm in love with. And I'm like, it's actually completely fucking fine. You know? Yeah. You're right. I guess it is subjective.

Yeah. I don't know. It is, I don't know. There's some stuff. I'm just like, ugh. I can't get past it. Okay. Here's something that we could dive into.

And maybe there's some science involved, too. This is a very science-heavy episode. This is what? people want. This is, maybe we call this episode. Science Corner. Hank Green. Uh, what?

Or Joe Green. What's his name? Hank. No, you're right. Hank. Hank Green? Yeah. Crash course. Hank Green. Who? Brook and Connor make. Hank Green for dummies. Make science courses easily understood.

Yeah. Yeah. There's got to be a way to condense that. The science of, uh, of it all. Really. Okay, so Do you guys Do you know about Lil Macalah? No. Okay, can we open up this thing?

Is that the TikToker, the makeup TikToker, Michaela? Nope. So check out this. There is an influencer who's been around for a while. I used to do research on her in my internships. I don't research. Well, she doesn't exist. She's CGI, but she's an influencer.

What? Yeah, so she. Glasses are going on for that. Has a full-blown. I don't know who runs. funds his account, but she has a full-blown, like, goes, like, takes a pictures at Bond Street in New York and, like, goes out to dinner, quote, unquote, and has, like, revolve clothes on and, like, meets, she's not, she doesn't exist.

But that photo that, so they'll take photos of people in CGA her in, and she still posts as an influencer, like she's on a red carpet for, uh, for a movie premiere. That's a random person that they CGI someone else on top. of? No, this is just an AI generated... So it's no one? Influencer.

No, it doesn't... That person doesn't exist. Someone runs the account, right? So they're taking this, in this picture, for example. There's no one in her spot, and then they just Photoshop her in? Or there's a robot?

No. I actually don't know, but I think that there's no one in her spot. And then they CGI her in. Via Photoshop? I mean, via technology. But she does... So that's a picture of nothing, and then they Photoshop her in?

I believe so, yeah. How many followers does she have? She has 3 million followers. Oh, my God. But, like, she acts. 19-year-old, she's a robot, 19-year-old robot. But it's not an actual robot. It's, you know, she doesn't exist.

It's CGI. C-G-I. Well, then in this case, what's the difference between CGI and Photoshop? I don't know, Brooke. That's the science of it all. And that's what we're breaking down today. Because I, here's what's what's so crazy. So she has now been selected as the new face of Paxon.

And can we click on the second photo? So she has been selected. This is her caption for Instagram. I've never been to school, parentheses, robot tings. But I know you'll need some cute fits before going back. Check out the Paxon Soho store in New York. It's cute and the vibes are right. If she's identifying as a robot, there must be a physical manifestation of her.

And people commented, shit is weird a f it's a this has got to be some kind of mf joke bro could put the whole continent between you and packs uncommented and said thanks for stopping by bestie this is feeling it's just confusing because then we actually have no real need for influencers at all if we're just going to cgi them and then you can make whatever body fit into whatever clothes that you're promoting. This is like advertisement just like, see what I mean is there's totally I don't know who's benefit who's getting the check for this. You ever runs the account like that so they're actually getting paid for something that is their work which is pretty cool like obviously people are liking

this then their work is being recognized and that's it at the end of the day it just kind of put it's kind of like a Dumas situation like you don't know who's actually behind the account yeah I'm like I'm really not sure how I feel you know I kind of feel like I'm going to throw up but also I just I'm mostly feeling confusion whether there's like an actual object that is her. She has reels. Can we see reels? I wonder if they're just like photos. Oh, this would answer, I think, your questions, your big questions.

Let's play one of her reels and see her. Yeah, that one's good. Yeah. She's a robot. Brooke, there's nothing there. There's nothing there. You mean that's like Avatar, CGI? Yeah, CGI.

How many times can, you? we say CGI in this See that's clearly animated You see what I mean Like that's she's not actually there Yeah you're right But it's You see where my my mind is going

You're worried you're gonna be replaced Yeah like if she can if If say a company can do a A trip abroad And send two people One to film the content And one to build out CGIs No one really needs to go anywhere

You know Unless you have a personality, you know, like, then you need to... I think she's the exception, not the rule, to be honest, because I think there's a lot that CGI can't do, like, have... Have a... Like, be a person. Yeah. I think they're missing that piece.

The brands would be missing that piece. Yeah, CGI I definitely won't be able to, like, overdo it at an open bar at an event, too. Yeah. So, like, there's a lot of... They wouldn't... They would save a lot of money. I don't want to feed into this horrible, horrible idea, by the way. Brands should stay away from this and definitely still bring us to the parties.

But it's just fascinating. That is. Thank you for bringing that up. She's the face of like back to school for backs on. That's, I mean, they're talking about it. They win. I just, I, I, uh, go, go low Michaela. Yeah, you're giving me conflicting.

I know. Well, guess what? She doesn't have a family to feed because she exists only in our mind. In our minds. Yeah. Weird. So I guess the person making the CGI might have. a family to feed.

Yeah. But how weird it would it be if it was like a 32 year old dude and like building out this 19 year old influencer? That's a really good way to just live out a life that you want but can't have. I wish there are more games like that. Just like alternate building an alternate life on the internet. Animal Crossing. Yeah, but I don't want to be an animal.

Like I would want to make myself like a different kind of. Sims. Yeah, Sims, I guess. It's true. Or get into CGI. I'd like to get back into Club Penguin. You don't want to be an animal. Yeah.

I wish there was a club penguin with human avatars. Free idea. Free idea. It's like I'm giving so, so much. Yeah. And it. Yeah. Yeah.

I got reamed apart for my deli scoop idea. Yeah. Apparently already exists. Chicken coop shit. Because everyone's saying, oh, chicken salad cafe. Chicken salad chick exists, which I are said in the podcast. It just wasn't in the clip. I acknowledge the existence, but I'm just like trying to elevate that and make it a worldwide chain.

So I don't know like what y'all are missing. No offense. You want to hit another story then? Yeah. You want you, it says eight billion people in the world. Man, there's so much science. What do you mean by that? Okay.

So we are approaching for the first time ever record breaking numbers on the planet. I don't like talking about stuff like this because it's like too big for me to comprehend, kind of. and it makes me kind of get a little bit shaky. Like when I'm walking through a hotel and it's like room 305, room 306, and then there's eight floors and how many numbers can we have? Right. Well,

I don't think we know. I know that we can have eight billion numbers because there's eight, we're approaching eight billion new people on, no, not new people, total people on earth. And then I'm like, is it going to get too heavy?

And then I'm like, no, we're floating. You know, so like my, this kind of stuff I don't like. I just like, this probably won't surprise anyone, but I'm just so bad.

at conceptualizing like amounts of people like if there were yeah a hundred people in a room and a thousand people in one room like I wouldn't know the difference if that makes sense yeah or if just like there were 100 people in a room I wouldn't know if they were like if they were 40 people or a thousand people yeah yeah yeah numbers are hard yeah and they're not for everyone no we should do this thing in physics class that I'm not going to be able to explain it all but basically the question would just be like how many people do you think how many jelly beans are in this job. Yeah, and you would be able to figure it out

by estimating how many other things are in this thing, and then how many things are in this thing, and this big things in this thing, and then you... Do you know what I'm talking about? Yeah, so like if it was in a cylinder, you could measure the circumference of the cylinder, and then something else. I think the height, and then there's an equation to measure out the volume

of the inside of the cylinder, and then if you... It's not a jelly bean, but if you had the measurements of one of the jelly beans, you could basically, like, divide the larger number by how many, you know, to find the volume and get an estimate of how many jelly beans could be in the cylinder. Yeah, maybe you're on to something. That's like the smartest thing I've ever pieced together on the podcast.

I used to like that stuff because it was like problem-solving. That's the stuff I could not do. I did fail the class, but I used to enjoy it. So why did that in physics? I don't know what physics is. Let's move on. Okay. I don't talk about it.

Physics is like, I think. Velocity. Physical stuff. Mm-hmm. And velocity. I hate velocity, by the way. Like stuff moving? Just like hate.

Or the word. Like, just like any time the word velocity was mentioned in any science class, there was just immediate buzzing in my brain. And that was all I could hear for the rest of the class. There was one I had, there was one unit I had a ton of trouble with. Velocity and thermodynamics for me. I think mine was O-Kim or something. Oh, I don't think I ever quite did it. Organic chemistry.

Yeah. when you had to figure out there was math involved in science when you would do something over something and then something over something next to that it was science and it was like ohms and stuff I just came to the moles moles yes

this is what I was saying about avagadro I'll learn about moles if the animal yeah don't really need or if it's under your armpit why in the way yeah oh I need to learn about that one definitely I don't know yeah this is just so like

it's not necessary. Like, I needed to be learning about how to make a phone call in high school, not mole numbers, which, by the way, no idea. Got a twitch in my eye. It was always like the creepiest male science teacher teaching us about moles. Oh, I actually had the best science teacher. I just remember I got a 58 on that, on the mole test and she wrote in the cutest little cursive, don't panic, smiley face. You should have framed that. I think it would really help you to. Because I think she knew I was about to explode. And again, Guess what? Didn't panic. Let me retake it. Open note. Got to see.

You know what's insane to think about? But that's better. Like I did better and that's what she wanted. And you didn't panic, which is also what she wanted. No, so true. You know what? I was telling my dad like, oh, I got a 58 on this, but it's fine because don't panic. You know? Yeah. So you don't panic also. You know what's crazy is thinking back about like I think my junior senior year, I was making vines in class.

Really? Yeah. Wow. Isn't that crazy? I think I was just like taking still Instagrams. I didn't have an iPhone. Did I tell you that? Like the reason I had to get on my friends.

So yeah. The Instagram app was only available on iPhone. Right. On the Apple store. Yeah. And I was a Google pixel or whatever type of loser. Yeah. Anyways, yeah, there's 8 billion people we're approaching it on Earth.

I don't know where they all are. I don't, I don't, like I can't begin to conception. Global population to reach 8 billion people this year, India to become most populated country. So, and we thought our traffic's bad. Imagine India. I'm trying really hard to just not be like, okay, reading headline and move on. But I don't know what else to say about this. 8.5 billion people by 2030.

Well, basically, like, there's a bunch of issues. The estimated population growth comes as the world's average fertility rate continues. used to decline. So that's where I kind of lose it. So like we're becoming less fertile probably because of probably because of old spice aluminum filled deodorant, which that's a tradeoff I can live with. And so the global population growth rate fell below 1% for the first time since 1950 in 2020. Okay. Which is crazy because Nick Cannon and Elon Musk have been fucking like rabbit. So like them two alone because it could have fixed this. And they did. And currently it's at 2.3 births per woman down from the average five births per woman in 1950.

Well, then how are we... I don't know. Because in 1950, we needed bodies on the farm. Right. To help with work. Now, we need... What? I don't understand if they're saying

that fertility is going down how that relates to the population increasing. I think individuals like people in Utah... Are having more kids. Instead of just like everybody having more kids. Instead of just like everybody having a... few kids. Yeah. Okay. So like if one woman pops out 16. I don't see that happening firsthand. Yeah, we're not in a place. Well, we're in Los Angeles. Right. Um, which like I just think in general,

it's probably less fertile because have you noticed those signs everywhere we go now that's like, by the way, there's contaminants in the air that cause cancer? I've seen a lot of pictures of them, but I haven't come across. Every time I go into a parking garage, it's like there are, there are particles in the air that cause cancer in this garage just a heads up per California code 9-0-6-4-4 and I'm like I don't know I gotta go I gotta go to Nordstrom so I just feel like it's more so

like times are different people want to spend more time having the freedom to make TikToks without kids you know or in the kids the people that are having kids are using them to make TikToks with yeah yeah I'm all for that by the way what different times. Yeah, I like it.

Speaking of, I know this is like a big move right now. I'm very jealous of our boys, Tom Holland and Sean Mendez and Sean Mendez, who have decided to take a social media break for the foreseeable future. Yes. Kings. I'm taking a break as well, by the way. I'm just not announcing it. Yeah.

Just like not have not posted anything. You don't even have to. Yeah. I would love to be as, I mean, like, they can do that. They've done, I feel like they've done everything. They have the right. Yeah. People are mad at Sean.

because he canceled his tour and then posted an Instagram of him on a boat he canceled his tour for his mental health because it was suffering fine take care of yourself of course

and then posted that Instagram picture of him on a boat and people were really mad that's awesome that you get to be on a boat while I'm like doing nothing in a hotel in Indianapolis because I paid for it to see you on tour

how do you feel about that? I don't really know I know I think maybe he should have, like, I think I, the social media break, but also. I don't think I would have posted, but also, like, he is just, like,

taking care of his mental health on the boat. That is mental health. That is taking care of your mental health. It just might have been a little insensitive to post while people are kind of hurting financially from the tour. Yeah. You know? It feels, yeah.

I just wouldn't have posted maybe. I hope that they make amends. I know, but, like, he's pretty invincible. Yeah. But, yeah, from a moral perspective, maybe. Like, he didn't do anything wrong. That would make my mental health. Taking care of his mental health on the boat.

Yeah. I just don't think I would have posted on the boat while people are really. What would you do if you did a social media mental health break? I am on one. I know, but like say you took like, I don't know how long they're going to take. The thing is, like, I should make them more intentional because I was talking to someone about this. I'm still, I'm like not posting, but like I'm feeling guilty about it because it's like I should be posting, you know. Whereas I should just be like, no, like this is the time.

I'm taking a break. I'm not posting from now to now. no matter what and I'm intentional about it so I'm not gonna feel guilty whereas now it's kind of like an unintentional break because it's just like I just don't have any ideas and so I'm making myself feel guilty

yeah that would be good to do I can't speak on it yeah a little posting machine no I'm not but I just you know can't give advice not in a place wow Tom Holland has 67.8 million followers he's almost to the population of the world a billion

yeah he really is did you see him knitting on the plane? Oh, you said me that. I see you that. I can't remember what he said, but he basically was just like, I'm out for a little bit. King. Do it? Oh, King. You've been in about, you've made enough money like more than probably

an entire large country combined in like three years. I don't know why he even needs to say anything because it's just like of course. Like you don't OS social media content. He's just like a good thoughtful dude. He's a good thoughtful dude. You can tell, right? Yeah. I see a lot of myself in him. upper body he's just like a good person yeah it seems like yeah he is um oh my stomach is grumbling really

yeah i didn't eat i actually you know my health kick yeah i haven't had a stomach ache which is just like wild how those things are related that sucks it sucks it sucks it sucks it sucks it sucks because now it's like you know i've been to a lot of doctors because i have a lot of stomach aches and they're like you have a gluten insensitivity, which I'm always like, oh, that's bullshit. You're either, like, fully allergic to gluten, or you can eat it. You know, you either have celiac or you're fine.

Yeah. But, like, I haven't been eating bread. Oh, shit, yeah. Because I'm like, maybe it will help me feel better. And I just, like, feel better, which sucks. Man, I hate when people are right. Sucks. It does suck.

It does suck. Like, what do I do, moving forward? It's a choice I'm going to have to make. Yeah. I think, like, maybe you just either shit your pants or feel good. Shit. Or eat bread and shit your pants.

I can deal with the stomach eggs, honestly. But like I feel more alert. You lost the brain fog. Yeah, that's a thing too. I feel like I lost the brain fog. That's a thing too. Which just like, damn. Mm-hmm.

Damn. Mm-hmm. Damn. Damn. I don't know, man. I don't know. I'm just like, I don't know how much longer I can keep the kelp noodles up. You don't have to just you.

There's so much. No, I know. There are more off. Ouch. What's crazy, my mom will tell me, like, something different is bad for me. I'm going to start bleeding. Why would you do? I just sludge my finger on my cracked phone screen. Yeah.

I wish you would get a screen protector or a case. Or both. What did you say you texted your mom? It's just, like, something new with her. Like, every week something different is unhealthy. Like, a few weeks ago, she was like, you really, like, should not eat egg. And I was like, okay. And then this week, like, eggs are completely fine.

It's lettuce. Yeah, my mom called me about the lettuce thing. Actually, she called me about kale. Because she said kale is one of the dirtiest vegetables you can eat, even though it's, like, the leafiest green. It's, like, described as like the healthiest. It's like, it's like, hard to digest is what I'm saying. But it's also good if you need to, it latches on to other stuff in your body to, like, take out with it.

So this is just a red. post i'm sure like a lot of people have already seen this but um never no don't don't look at the screen i want to i want to read it you look at me while i say it i'm going to look this way on the screen okay so someone posted this on reddit um i've been trying to read this for like three weeks so just know that it was pertinent when i first submitted it to like our to our docket to our docket um and now i'm reading it because i assume there's some people out there that have heard it so the title is my boyfriend won't stop calling me Tony Pizza. I also don't know the, like, origin of Tony Pizza.

I keep thinking of Tony pajamas. My understanding is that this is from the show or something. So I just know that, like, when I first read this and submitted it, I had no idea what this is from, and I still don't really. I, female 21 and my boyfriend, male 21, currently live together and have been together about four months. To explain why we were living together at four month mark, we started out as roommates, but then started dating.

Fascinating. How did that? come through. I think they probably started looking. Hand jobs. I have to say my boyfriend has never been good at pet names. Some early ones were Little Stubster and Sour Meat.

One of my nicknames for him in comparison is Little Bird. Anyway, about two weeks ago, he starts calling me Tony Pizza. This doesn't even make sense and he uses it more often than my actual name. He is obsessed. It honestly bothers me that he can't even bother to find a somewhat

nice nickname for me. I've had a couple conversations with him about it, but he says he can't think of anything better. What do I do? Is this going to become a bigger problem or should I even address it? I hate being Tony Pizza. I feel like one. I feel like it's in like a very easy solution. Like, hey, stop calling me Tony Pizza, please. Yeah. Should you go back to sour meat? I think I would love being called Tony Pizza though. I know. This is like a bad. Would you? This is a bad thing for us to talk about. Right. I think Tony Pizza is so funny. Yeah. And I think it's way better than sour meat. and little stubster.

I don't know how you would just slip that into conversation. But I think Tony Pizza is cool. I think I'm like so pro Tony Pizza. But also if you don't like it, just like, hey, call me like, Rachel, like if that's your name. Necknames are crazy anyways, but I think Tony Pizza is funny. I just thought that this, yeah. Could you imagine like just in their, like being in couples therapy and that being what you bring up? Oh, here's a tweet.

Imagine the absolute fucking hive calling your girlfriend Tony Pizza for so. along and she hates it and she posts about it online and now every single person online thinks you're the funniest person and is on your side. I agree. Like I'm so pro-tony pizza. Oh, that's so funny. I'm like, does she not have a sense of humor? It seems like they're not compatible. At the end of the day, this comes down to an incompatibility issue. Yeah. Oh, my God. I think you should break up with what's funny?

Yeah, this guy. Yeah. Oh, she set her boyfriend up for this thing that he could be like the next big thing. He could read this Reddit post and be like, babe, I'm a comedian. Have you ever read the, you get a Netflix special based on this? I know. It's really good. I think they should break up because it's just like he deserves somebody who wants to be called. Tony Pizza.

Have you ever read the Hugo the Hornet Reddit post? No. Oh my God. That's for another day. Put a pin in that. Put a pen in Hugo the Hornet. It's about this mascot, Hugo the Hornet, who, um, just like picked on someone in the crowd and, like, brought them up.

and then they just like put a pin in it because I want to read that. Okay. Yeah. Well, that was Tony Pizza and that's something that I've been trying to talk about for so long

and I keep forgetting. That's really good. Thank you for sharing. You're welcome. Okay, you're going away so I won't see you for two weeks. This will be the longest they haven't seen you.

I know. Since we started BNC 32 episodes ago. Oh, that's crazy. Yeah. Wow. Text me. Yeah, I will.

I'll shoot you a text. Please. Email's good too. Okay. Yeah. Whatever you want. We'll have so much to catch up on. I'm going to be in Michigan, upstate Michigan.

Whoa. For like seven days. And then I'll be in New York for like 15 days of you guys. No. That's more than two weeks. The 25th through the fifth, I'm not doing the math correctly. That's like nine days. Okay.

Okay. Yeah. So if anyone's in New York or the UP, in Michigan, I'll be around. Well, I'll miss you, Con. Yeah, we gotta get you some plans. You'll miss me too. I'll miss you.

Yeah, I will miss you. Yeah. Guys, merch is still available online, B&Cmerch.com, and bonus content when we get back. And I love. You and love you. And I hope you enjoy our mailbag episodes next week that you'll get to enjoy while Conner's gone.

Yeah. Hit us up. I hope, I'm like getting this weird gut, like pit in my stomach. Because usually it's pertinent enough to where we can pertinent. I've been saying pretty much nonstop. Where we can like hop on next week. We can be like, oh, we should talk about, oh, we should talk about,

we're just going to be MIA kind of. So hit us up on social too. That's good for my social media break. Yeah. If you guys have anything that needs to be addressed. We can get really active on the stories too. If you ever respond to me. My bad.
