But real doesn't start on a label. It starts at the source. Like real California milk from California farm families, it's real dairy delivering high quality, complete protein,

with all nine essential amino acids to help build muscle, give you energy, and keep you satisfied longer. So keep it real. Look for the seal. Real California milk. Here I am. There she is. There she goes.

Why does that song remind me of London? There she goes again. It has to be in an early 2000s rom-com where the girl is like sprinting in front of Big Ben, doesn't it? Just like head out of the window of a cab. Yes. Is it what a girl wants or something? Head out of the window. Yeah, that was called.

Her dad was British. Like there she goes. There she goes again. Was it pay wasn't pay that was definitely in a London based film. What a girl wants. What a girl wants. This is actually extremely pressing and relevant. I have spent the last week curating a perfect playlist of I am the main character in an early 2000s rom-com.

Okay. Yeah. Thanks. Oh, did you include this song? Yes. I included both of the songs that we just started singing. What was the other one? What a girl wants?

wants that one and there she goes there she goes again that one i think about amanda binds probably the same way i would say i think about amanda binds more than i think about like some of my uncles i saw something really upsetting last night oh no about do you do you oh no I saw this I actually saw a lot of upsetting things Do you want to introduce ourselves first? Yeah, hey, I'm Connor. Brooks about to introduce

and Brooks over there. Welcome to Berk and Connor makeup podcast. Are you ready to get depressed? Buckle up. This is depressing. Sit down and get a snack and just accept that life is fleeting and things can happen in the blood of an eye.

Basically, in a rare moment I was scrolling through TikTok and I saw this like I'm bored what's a dark and scary conspiracy theory. You're crazy. Like common in the threads. And one of them was that both Britney Spears and Amanda Binds were like completely like

lobotomized by like big big not big Disney. Big Disney. Yeah. Whoever they weren't Disney. But like yeah, big Disney in a way. Big Disney and big Nickelodeon. You think Big Nick lobotomized our girls? I think that's a really.

scary like conspiracy theory that if it came out to be true i would be like yeah lobotomy something or brainwashing yeah i think there was some psychological warfare happening that's that that's not a secret no but like something even more sinister like with i'm like picturing like a machine it's not funny no it's god no it's not funny at all i just like don't think that they have a machine like that's what i was picturing like doof and schmerts Yes. They're not zapping the girls. I don't know.

I just like, no. See, like, I'm choosing not to subscribe to this, only because Amanda Binds was on track to be probably the most famous actress in the world, I think. Like, her trajectory was off the charts. Like, a level of, like... I wouldn't say most famous in the world, but I would say maybe like Jennifer Aniston level.

Yeah. And I think she's the most famous. actress in the world, probably. Do you? I feel like Merrill Street, maybe. Anyway. Well, I think when Amanda Bines gets to Merrill Streep's age, wait, I'm sorry. What Jennifer, what's her name?

Amanda Bines. Martin Jouffer? I miss Martin Jouf. I miss Martin Jouf so bad. I think that when Jennifer Anderson gets to Merrill Street's age, she will be at a level of Merrill Street. She doesn't. Not really acting.

She signed the Glenn Powell contract that he's under right now where you do 16 movies. One of them is good. The rest, now when I say things are 3D printed,

they are generally probably made by AI. There's one that comes to mind as I speak, which I'm going to let you just like, I'm going to let you stew over it. generated movie. I do think that there is a movie that came out recently that feels very, very 3D printed. Do I know it?

Yeah. Like it's impossible not to know. I don't think it would have come across your desk now. But I do think that it's technically the number one movie in America right now by streams. It's Happy Gilmore 2. Oh, I haven't even seen Happy Gilmore 1. Oh, you need to watch Happy Gilmore 1. That's an important one.

But also Jennifer Anderson's never been in like an Oscar. nominated film. Like that's not her path. Hasn't been her path. Whereas for Merrill that's been her path from a very young age. Jen is in more commercial stuff. I guess is what I'm trying to say. Whereas Merrill is in

more like Oscar. It's like a Broadway. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They're different. Yeah. I'm saying fame level. Did you know Scarlett Johansson's the top grossing actor period in the world right now? No, I didn't know that. I think it's either currently or ever. I think she's the highest paid actor ever. I still haven't seen Jurassic Park of you.

What? No. I still haven't seen Jurassic Park. Have you? That's not of my elk, I don't think. Scarlett Johansson, $15 billion? Is that a billion? She's not getting paid billion. No.

In a superhero movie, I guess. Wait. Can you read that number? I really can't tell. That is 15 million 100. No, that's, is that a decimal at the end? No, it's a semicolon to go to CMO Jackson. Like, so what I am seeing is 15 billion.

Okay. 100. No, wait, stop talking. No, that's 15 billion 187,811,000. Okay. Okay. All right. So randomly,

Wikipedia is wrong. I didn't see that coming. And of course, first time in the past eight months I've opened Google and type something in and Google AI didn't try to actually, me. That's billion that has nine. This has so many. 15 billion, 187 million. This is where I get tripped up. 811. What is that? 811 100,000 1191.

We have to move away from Scarlet Joe. Am I wrong? From Scarjo. I think that was right. You say 15 billion 187 million. You guys, Scarlet Jo Hansen is not a 15 billionaire. Is it 811100,000?

You got it. 800. 800. 800 and 11. 1000 or 100,000? 1,000. $1,191. That's.

So, I saw a man who works at a Renaissance fair in a floppy hat that looks just like Jonathan Bailey. Oh, that's exciting for you. Could you take that? Could you take someone being similar enough looking and just being like this? this is Jonathan essentially. It is so frighteningly accurate. Could you convince yourself that like... Yeah.

I would say the personality of the young man at the Renaissance Fair would definitely be different than the charismatic man that we know to be Jonathan Bailey. Sure. But I could definitely make it work. That everyone's saying he's not like the Kmart Jonathan Bailey.

He's not like Walmart. He's like there's something even more. more than that that people are saying. Like Kroger or something? You know Kroger? I don't know what Kroger is. I don't you know what Kroger is. From the comments of this video.

Oh, this is someone that you've seen online. Yeah. I thought you went to the Renaissance Fair. No, I've been looking at the Renaissance Fair through my phone. Through the lens of your screen. Through the lens of my phone where I came across a very striking Jonathan like who works at the Renaissance Fair in the jousting department. Well, I'm sure that'll be your new FYP alongside.

Connor Bottoms. Connor Bottoms and Christ Crusader 2026. I just sent you, speaking of doppelgangers, I just sent you my newest doppelganger that just came across my desk. Let me see. Should I just show it on this screen? Yeah, you show him and I'll show Jonathan Bailey. Okay, so here's someone that's at this.

Who looks more like who? Your doppelganger looks like you or this guy looks like Jonathan Bailey. Okay. Someone said this looks, quote, this looks just like you. It's not even in focus. Okay, check out. This is Jonathan Bailey. Can you see that, Connor?

Is that scary or what? Hey, man, that does look like him. You should see if you can jump his bones. I'm trying to see what, like look at this. But it's, it's, it's, definitely like Kroger. Is that making sense? Coker's a great.

I know. That's what I'm saying. Like, it's not even, like people aren't even trying to insult him. That was like when I was walking on sunset. I think I was leaving your house and someone tweeted. I just saw the Walmart version of at Fibula on sunset. And I looked up and I go,

I'm on sunset. It was me when I was in a bad, when I was in a bit of a doldrum. Was that when you were sleeping on my other couch? Yeah. That freaking leather plastic 3D printed couch. I miss her. Be sweet.

To her. My home away from home. I was even sweating, but my body would stick to it like a suction cup. Yeah, that was an amazing piece of furniture. It was. I do want to say,

what I was going to say is you and I have never had a conversation about my nose. We just, it has never come up my nose. Why would it? It's such, just like a, no. You don't think my nose is big? Not at all. I think you have just such a standard nose.

Because I was wondering the other day because I was like, as every person I get, it does look exactly like me. I think it's like, I think it's the smoothness factor that makes. It looks exactly like me. I think it's the face. I think you have a very distinct face shape. Round. Like a very like perfect. combo of round and square

square where did square come from it's like a round square oh man or a squared circle man I got to kill myself today no no no no no don't do that um I went to

but yeah I think this guy it's the nose this guy's funny Papa needs your skin taco on his Frank That's what it says Yeah I just I was like what is the caption on So Papa does it Papa's actually gonna

Papa needs a little bit of your skin taco And his Frank right now Do you know what that means? Yeah Pretty naughty That is so naughty I I just met Papa

And I gave him my skin taco I knew you were gonna I just gave Papa my skin taco On his Frank At 3pm on a Saturday inside of Dave and Busters at the ski ball machine I knew you were going to do that

You know we've connected You followed each other Yeah and DMed me and Conor Bottoms What did you guys talk about? Like hey I'm big fan That was me Well he DM DM DM DM DM was like Thanks for talking about me

And I was like of course I love you And now we follow each other And it's like my brother It's your chosen family Yeah that's my chosen Um Hang on Let me gather myself because we started off.

You and I started off just like really hot with Amanda Binds and I got kind of fired up and then I got sad. Oh, I wasn't even done with that. The Lomotomy machine? The conspiracy theories. Okay. Because there was another one that said, and I screenshot at it as well. Something weird happened in 2020 during COVID lockdown.

Nothing is real anymore. Time has sped up and slowed down. Which I have said something happened in COVID. where I was launched into a different universe. Yeah. I just think that we're all going to do like a mass psychosis and it's fueled by Celsius

and a dream. But then I really got in my head and I was like this is all, you know, this is all a dream. Nothing is real. Have you ever felt like you're not real? Brooke, there's no possible way

for me to convince you right now that I was going to have. ask you that question today. There's a possible way for me to, there's no reason except that we are very close friends for me to ask you to trust me when I say I was going to ask you, do you ever feel like you're not real? Is that not the worst feeling? It is, it is the worst feeling, but at the same time, it's literally, it's like an equal parts, like the scariest feeling. And then also like, okay, cool, then fuck it. Oh, I'm, it's like very horrible to me. Oh, to me, to me, I go in between, and every time I say this, people go, well, you're a narcissist. I go, yeah, that's not the

conversation we're having. Of course, I'm a narcissist. But I go in between like, oh, I'm not real and then, oh, I'm the only one who is real and everyone else is fake. So either way, you're in a simulation. Yeah, my brain is in a vat being simulated by electricity. Yeah. And I've created this world and it's just all a concept. But in that case, then, like, why do I need to? sleep for eight hours a day. What's the point of that if I'm just, if I'm, this is all just a dream. It could be like a don't worry darling thing where like you're getting plugged in.

Plug me in and charge me up. So I was, I was like down last night thinking like I'm not real. Then there's this comment. It says, just a reminder to anyone who struggles with this association and your sense of reality is hostage existence. You are real.

You're okay. You are safe. Turn the volume down. Quit reading the comments. This video is made for engagement. Slow breaths, four seconds, inhale, six seconds, exhale, you are real, you're okay. And so then I was like, okay, I feel real. Yeah, that's exactly what they would want you to then.

Right under that, our social security number is our player ID. Sent me into a complete spiral again. Mass psychosis. I'm telling you, that's like simply what it is. You read some of these conspiracy theories. and specifically there's a group of people that like really want to no I'm not even to go into that because it's like I don't even I don't even think like there's like a group of people on Twitter that like randomly every week they pick like a new

famous man or woman and start convincing people are like oh they are the opposite gender of what they are and they're like oh you can't tell that like let me think who's a famous man Jason Bateman. They'll be like, you don't see Jason, like, when Jason Bateman has a bathing sit on, like you can't tell that he clearly has a camel toe. He has a vagina. Uh-huh. Wake up.

And it's like, if Jason Bateman had a vagina, my life would not change at all. Who cares, you know? Right. It's like, wake up America. Like, they're, he's a fabulous actor. He can have a vagina if he wants to. That was actually, like, a really beautiful, like, statement that you just made. Like, Jason Bateman having a vagina affects you in no way.

No way. Yeah. But it's just like, There's people that are genuinely going through psychosis. And if you spend too much time online, it's like, and you look up from your phone after being on Twitter and stuff like that. And you're like, wait, what was I doing for the past hour and a half? What world?

It's not this world. Because I walked outside and I saw a child blowing balloons or blowing bubbles. And I'm just like, oh, this is like, this is what I should have been looking at for an hour and a half. Now, maybe not looking at that kid for an hour. and a half that I could have you know that could get you into some trouble some places that you don't want to be in you walk outside it's like oh like you like you said four deep breaths and then six out and then six well how'd you do four in and then six out that's like it doesn't match up is that what she said that's like when you get a hotel room and it's like hey you're saying

four days and four five nights um slow breath four seconds oh four seconds seconds inhale because I was thinking you go, yeah, I was thinking that too. Ready to soundtrack your summer?

Yeah, I have a trainer. He's pretty cool. I am older than him, which is awesome. We're getting to the point where we're going to be older than a lot of people that we employ, that we employ. Yeah, it's okay. He's like, good job, buddy. I'm like, okay, champ. Okay, champ. I was born before you. But he was so cool. He's so nice. But right at the beginning, he's like we're going to start with breaths and he's like okay deep breath in but like it takes me a little bit to get a deep breath in like it takes a couple seconds

and I didn't have anywhere to look so I just like looking at him and I was going and he was like hold it and then I'm just holding my breath looking at this young man and there was no one else in there and I'm just and it was it was weirder for me to look away we should be allowed to close our eyes

yeah he's so quick though I didn't know if I close my eyes I don't know where he would have gone but yeah yeah I got a little work at it today. Wow. If you guys see me looking pumped, like, don't, don't be scared. I'm still the same person, you know, I'm just like really, really tight and toned. What's your schedule like? How often will you be going? It's pretty cool to set up. It's like a little, it's like semi-private gym. Here's the thing. Okay. So it's like a semi-private gym, okay? Because I need to get a base tan before I go out in the sun, you know, go out to the beach. You know, I want to be, I want to have like a good base of

mass before I go to the gym and take this solo trip, you know? I think the journey alone. You're getting your base tan at the gym? That was like a figure of speech. I need to go build like a base of like workouts. Your body.

Yeah. And so you go and there's like there's like a handful of training. You end up with like whoever's available that day type thing. But you like meet them all. They're all really cool. I kind of looked around at the other clientele coming in as I was leaving and they are skin and bones. And I did want to ask.

In a good way or a scary way? Like in a... It being a gym, I just wanted to ask them how long they've been coming, you know? Because they were like... So not a great way to sell you on the gym. They were a bit frail, I fear, yeah. But I'm having a good time and I'm sore and I'm just, you know, kind of in a routine. which is nice.

Eye heart routine. A guy like me in a routine, unstoppable. Unfortunately, I need an adderall prescription. Fast. Help me. Get one.

I'm too scared. So then quit your complaining. I can't. Complaining is all I have. I went out to happy hour yesterday. I wasn't going to go because I leave tomorrow morning at 6.45 a.m. But I genuinely needed to complain at loud to people.

So I went to. go meet Hank and Meredith just because I wanted to complain in person. And I couldn't. What do you complain about? Wow. See, like now I can't even remember. Oh, I do remember, but I can't talk about it on here because a certain, a certain demographic of people and fans of something online would come from my throat.

And I can't do that. But I go to Philly tomorrow. Yay. I know. Just for one night? Yeah. Where are you performing? I'm not even performing.

It's for like a work thing. What work thing? I'm doing a work thing. What work thing? I don't know if I can say because I don't. I'm doing a thing with Hilton tomorrow in Philly. Philadelphia Hilton. Yeah.

They're saying it's very similar to the Nepali coast. I wonder which one. They're saying it's the Napoli of the East Coast. What will you be doing? when you're there? Shaking ass, taking names. What do you mean? Nothing new for me.

Really? Yeah. But I'm serious. Kissing babies. I'm being serious. I'm just, we're just doing a little project together and then I'm heading out to Denver and I'm going to be in Denver all weekend. So you're not really going to be like living it up in the city?

No. Which sucks because I wanted to go to that sensory restaurant that we went to last time we were there with now. Oh, double not. Double knot. It's so good. It is so damn delicious. If you're in Philadelphia, you need to go to a double knot.

It's so good. It almost makes you absolutely sick. I honestly think it's to the point, like, it's so popular there now that it's like saying, like, if you're in L.A., you have to go to Elefonte. I don't care. I will say, I will tell people to go to Elfonte. No, I know. I know. I'm just saying I think it's like very popular, even though, like, it was not when I lived there.

Did we make that shit pop off? That was not our doing. That was not us. That was not our doing. Okay. Yeah, then I go to Denver. Still that's up, huh? This was actually just related to the Celsius.

It went down the wrong pipe. But I, that's Cynthia Ereviro video and she's like, it actually does help me when I tap like this. Oh, yeah. I've been watching a lot of... What's her name?

Reverend Cynthia. What's her name? What's her name? Irvino. Cynthia Revereo. I can't know how to say the last name. How do you say it? Arevo. Arrivo. So it's like way easier than I was making it.

I don't know why I thought there was like an in-ye on that somewhere. Yeah. I've been watching like a lot of meet the fuckers type thing. And I watched the intern. Incredible franchise. I watched the intern last night with Anne Hathaway and Robbenero. And there is. a particular scene that did shake me up a bit.

Robert De Niro gets a boner at the office. Robert De Niro can play some very sexual roles. See, Dirty Grandpa. Well, this was like he's an innocent, like older gentleman. He's in the office. And then Adam DeMamp, wait, is that his Adam Devine gives him a newspaper to cover his boner? I was like, this is. Why did he have a boner?

Because the in-office Mouss came over and rubbed him down. Oh, he got a rub down. He got a rub down. You should have said he got a rub down. He got it rubbed down, but it was not a rub and tug. Right.

It was simply, it was, it was meant to be sexual, and it is straight up from all accounts, even including Adam's character that hands him a newspaper for his boner. Every part of that was sexual harassment. Like everyone's fingers should be pointed.

It actually all cancels out. But the masseuse should not be rubbing down Robert De Nere at his desk. That's a real thing, you know. In-house masseuses for offices. That's crazy. Who? What kind of job would have an in-house masseuse? I kind of made it up, but I imagine that there is.

It's very tech startup. When I worked at Bumble every other week, they would have a Manny Petty team and a hair, like a hairstylist come in, and you could either get a haircut or a mani-peti. See, that's just as insane as the masseuse. No, because I'm not going to get a hand job from like a barber. I'm not getting a boner while someone cuts my hair. Can I get bangs?

Are you going to get a boner while you're getting a massage at your desk? I think that was atypical. You are? Robert did. I know, but I'm saying that was atypical. No, that's the thing about it. Well, and he was such an older gentleman too. Like from all accounts, like she was rubbing him.

was it in a sexual way in the film it did come across sexual like the angles of the camera did not help but she was going into like his waistband oh you didn't say she went into his waistband well like essentially you did not say she went into his waistband she didn't go and she went across his his belt ooh i have something else to apologize for what so when i said weeks prior to now that I did not understand how people gain weight on their waist. You didn't say waste. Hips. Here's the issue.

I didn't know where my hips were on my body. I do think that was the crux of the problem. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Because I looked at my weird body the other day and I was like, oh my God, I gained weight on my hips. Yeah. I see where my hips are now. Where did you think they were before?

Like on, I'm going to stand, okay? Like on the bone? I'm going to stand. Yeah. But we won't be able to hear you. Keep that. I know. I'm going to do a kind of like a hand motion and show you.

I'm going to first show you where I thought my hips were. Okay. And second, I'm going to show you where I now understand that this is now, this is where my hips have always been. But now I understand what they are. Okay. That's where you thought they were. Yeah. So that's like the hip bone.

Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. by God. So you know love handles? Yeah, I'm familiar. That's when like you get,

that's technically what gaining weight in your hips is. What? No, and I realized that no, you know what it was? I didn't see my reflection of, or a picture of myself or anything. I was actually walking and I could feel,

um, my flabs kind of like, like, a movement. Kind of quivering. Yeah, I could feel, I could feel them living it up on this on my waist or on my,

on my hips. I could feel it. I love thinking about that and just like thinking about like you having that come to Jesus. Oh. No. And I was like, do not forget. My hips. My hips are here.

Yeah. You know how I realized it too? It was I was like, wait, what is this part of my body? Because I was like, I've never. And I was like, oh, by George, that's my hips. And this is my. I think what you've pointed to before is maybe like your hip bone. I guess it is my hip bone

That's like that's where I was confused Yeah I can't even blame myself It doesn't make sense both ways I can't either Um Oh my gosh You were with your family this weekend

I went to Arizona Which Arizona is beautiful in August Arizona Arizona Arizona in August It's just That's what

Taylor Swift was She's saying about it Just wow It's with a chill of 106. It's a very dry heat. And when you step outside, you won't be able to breathe. It's so amazing. It's so good for you.

I think you would have really loved it. I am so proud of myself. I put so much sunscreen on. I didn't get an ounce of burn, but I also didn't get tan, which is... No, I was going to say your arms look tan. Really? Yeah. I feel pale, which is bothering me quite a bit.

but I didn't get burnt which is good I had a great time I went for my dad's birthday I had I think the best food I've ever had in my life which is really interesting and I wasn't expecting that in Tucson Arizona Tucson Tucson As we bleed to death in Tucson Tucson play that Blink 182 song

I don't know okay chain smokers on my way to the lickest though We went to this like Latin American restaurant, which I didn't really know what kind of food that meant. And I'm kind of a... What does it mean? Like, Latin American, essentially. Like south of the border vibes.

Very much so. Yeah. And so for me, I'm like kind of not an adventurous eater at all. And like, even like if I go to get Mexican, like I'm just sticking to Casadillas. Like I'm very, very white, you know? Yes. So I was, I was not.

nervous about the Latin American restaurant and in any other circumstances I would have probably started to maybe complain or wine or maybe throw a little bit of a tantrum because you know how you revert valid very much revert back to your like six year old self when you're with your parents now real yes but it was my dad's birthday so I couldn't really do any of that oh my god exactly so I was just kind of you know sitting there with my with my you know palms clenched and just ready to really embrace it. I mean, man, alive by Jove, was that food amazing? What? I, like, I don't even know. Alive by Jove? Let me, no, what? What'd you say? Alive by Jove? I said, man alive and then separately by Jove. Is that, is that a thing? Like, I'm never in my life heard that. Isn't it Jove?

Job Like, by Jove Who's Jove? But she's by Jove By Jove Good scene Yeah Oh it's like good heavens

What? Did you say by George before? Yeah Is that a thing as well or is he Thinking of by Jove? By George is absolutely a thing By George She's a...

So by George is surprised Like, oh He's like he gads. Yeah, exactly. And by Jove is more like, what did it say again, is he? Touch old-fashioned charm similar to Good Heavens. So pretty much similar, but a little bit different. I love learning new phrases. That is so fun. Okay. But so by Jove, it was very good. Like is it empanadas? Okay. Empanadas, exactly. A burger that was like infused with like Chimmy Churry, which I didn't even think I liked, but it was the most insane burger ever.

Fried calamari that was like somehow like had some like Latin zest to it. It was the best fried calamari I'd ever had in my life. And I love fried calamari in a huge way. And I'm one of those girls that likes this like squid looking guys instead of the rings. That's like obviously someone has to do it. Someone has to do it. That could be a good hinge prompt, even though completely off the sauce. Like I.

I like you can have the rings I'll eat the squid bug looking ones that's really like that is really that is really like you and me against the world like if you have if you find someone that will eat the rings to your squids

that you found it like that is it that's really good yeah that's good for him I'll eat the squids maybe I'm compatible with a lot of people because a lot of people don't like the squids Yeah, but Yeah, but you have to find someone that's like Not cool

Because you don't take Kalamari home Unless you have an air fryer, maybe I wouldn't I don't think I would take it home Really? Oh, I'm not taking it home Because I've licked the plate clean That's what I'm saying You need to find someone else It's like, we are not bringing leftovers

We're like in my family We eat every part of the squid You know like nothing goes to waste Like you need to find someone that's like We are not leaving with leftovers We're eating it here And I'll get the rings You take the squids

go. Let's double team it. Yeah. Yeah. Do you eat it with Marinera? No, I do the Aoli. Never Marinera? No. I don't like Maranara. Wow, see, you're taking a very, you're taking a very unique route. I'm doing squid and aoli. Are you going to do the rings in marinera? Yeah.

Look, I am. That's what I was going to say. That's clean plate. Wait, I didn't think you liked Calamari. I've learned to like it. Wow. Because I've been put in, I've been put in so many situations where everyone agrees on the app. I'm leaning more towards maybe Brussels sprouts or something like that. And they go, no, we're all going to get calamari.

And I've got to the point where it's like, I'm an adult. I'm going to shut up. I'm going to eat this thing. What I won't eat is oysters. Sorry, everybody. And you know what? I'm not going to eat those with you. There's some stuff that like,

I can't wrap my head around so many. Like, how did you even find out you could eat that? gross little like lugi. It is a huge booker. Genuinely, I see those. I keep it to myself every time they are, but I see an oyster. Looks gorgeous, if you don't look too closely.

My God, is it beautiful? The presentation of oysters is really like... It looks like I want to eat it, but I don't. Oh, it is really inviting. They should present more things than a seashell over ice with lemon and

it's a really gorgeous set up. You know what I do like though, which I think if you really opened your heart, you would too. Tramp. Clams and muscles. You eat clams and muscles, but you won't eat in an oyster. And oysters a huge fat booger. And clams and muscles are like very tiny, just like salty little bites. I can't. I have had several clam chowders. I have... I am not talking about clam chowder. I'll eat a clam chowder. Hey, I don't. Really? That I won't do. This is not

The logic right now Between you and I, it's not Nothing's adding out. I don't want to do a chowder. Well, when you say chowder like that, the emphasis on that chow, like I don't either. That's how it said. Chowder. Chowder.

Okay. Clam chowder. No, see, there are, there are, like, what is a clam? It's a chowder. See, to me, shrimp or, exactly the same as like a cricket. It's just under, it's just wet.

Did you see the frogs that were in Arizona? Yeah, those massive things. They're the sizes of my head and they're the psychedelic ones. If you lick, you would trip.

Yeah, I saw your Snapchat story when you were like filming this frog in the pool and you were like, oh my gosh, do you think the psychedelics? Or you were like,

did the psychedelics get in the pool? And I thought like, I'm thinking, oh my gosh, Brooke is tripping on mushrooms or LSD or something with her family in the desert, I have to tell her that this is on her story. And then when I texted you, I was like, what's going on with psychedelics? Like, did you drop your drugs in the pool or something? She was like, oh, no, it's the frog that you were worried that like

the psychedelic effect that's leaching out of the frog's back or whatever would get into the pool. And then you got in the pool. Yeah, and then into my skin. What kind of high is it when you lick a frog? Like acid. That's scary. But it's this, this. The specific type of frog. See, whoever figured out... It doesn't make sense to me that it wouldn't rub off in the pool. I think like it would be,

it would be so, like it would lose all its potency because it's spread out over. So you're getting like a... Yes, but it seems like something you should be cautious around. You're getting like a direct hit when you obviously lick something.

Yeah. That's very true. I feel like that's something you would do out of curiosity. I was, in any situation, I would do anything. Yeah.

You know, like, there's nothing that I would say, like, I'm not going to do this because out of context, no, I'm not going to like a frog, but like within the context,

within the context, you are going to love a frog. Of like something that presented itself in a way, like, if I was with Miley Cyrus and she's like, we're all licking this toad.

I'd say, puff, puff, puff, yeah, give it to me. Okay, let's say you're with me and my dad in Tucson, Arizona. And you're doing it? I'm not doing it,

but let's say my dad will do it. it. And I'm like, you know what, Connor? It's a total your decision. I do think I'm doing it. I do think I'm going to pass because me and Brett. You're going to let my dad trip alone. Well, me and Brett tripping frog sack together while you look at us.

Like that doesn't sound like a fun. I'll leave you guys be. I'll leave you alone. But like you do need a third person in that situation, I feel like. In case. Well, yeah, because I would be also just getting to know your father. No, let's just say all you guys are very good friends at this point. Well, then maybe, yeah.

Okay. What if my dad is not doing it, but I am? Yeah, I would do it. Okay. Okay, Jonathan Bailey, Jonathan Groff, have listened to the podcast, and they send you a direct, a Google Cal invite. Hey, we're licking frogs at 6 p.m. come over. I'm so there.

I'm, yeah, I'm sucking that frog dry. I'm completely sucking it dry, eating it like a squid calamari. I'm ringing that frog. I'm juicing it in my juicer. I'm taking it like a turmeric shot. Yeah, there's, I don't think there's anything I wouldn't do

for the 6 p.m. calendar slot. You don't think so? I can think of a lot of things that I wouldn't do. Well, you would have to change the stakes. Well, with the context, of course. It's all about context. Context is everything. Everything around us.

Without context, nothing is real. Like we said earlier. You need context. We need context as much as we need air, gravity, water, music, context. I agree. Period. Oh, I heart context, actually. That's becoming my new thing is maybe how much I love context.

I do heart it. We're always seeking out answers, but like maybe we don't need answers. Maybe all we need is context surrounding it all. Everything is context. Everything is context. Well, I'm genuinely going to make merch that says I heart context in the same font as I heart New York. I think that's, I love that.

I heart context. This episode is brought to you by Palm Olive. Family Time isn't just the big moments. weeknight dinners. Sitting around the table, everyone talking all at once.

Folks knew the Colonel approved of his new honey-chilly crisp and jalapagna ranch sauces the moment he tasted them and said, that's right. No notes. Just absolute silence. Turns out some flavors don't need explaining. They just need dipping. It's saucy season at KFC with new honey,

chili crisp and jalapeno ranch. Get dipping with a boneless bucket today. Prices in participation vary. Ooh, I got chills. Okay, I had some other pressing things that I needed to talk about. Okay. I'm dressed like a little girl doll today. Speaking of little girl dolls.

Can you see? Yeah, I can see. I get all of my clothes from Instagram ads now and TikTok shop. Yeah. So this is a little set I found there. Do you see it? It's like a polka dot set.

Yeah, that's nice. It's Capri. It's Capri. And a polka dot tank top and I have a bow in my head. So you're dressed like a little girl doll. get all your clothes from Instagram ads. You get all your clothes from TikTok shop.

All of them. It's phenomenal. It's great. It's fabulous. I just got some clothes from TikTok shop. They feel flammable. It's actually insane. I'm scared to wear them around in an open flame.

I will catch fire. They're like plastic. I've had no issues yet. Like the clothes I've gotten have been genuinely like great quality. It's all the clothes that people are like, oh my God, where'd you get that? Where'd you get that? Then I'm like, TikTok shop.

And it's a store that I've been having. Sorry. No, it's just a store that I've never heard of. And I'm like, this is nice stuff. No, it's not, I've not heard of any of the stores. The problems that I've had are with the bathing suits. That's what I'll say. Bating suits are not easy.

But then again, would a bathing suit from a well-known store work out for me? Not right now. There's no way of knowing. You have to go put on a bathing suit, I think, for girls. Though, although there's nothing I'd rather do less. I would say one of my actual nightmares is when you have something

that you have to go to night of and you go oh crap I need a pair of pants and you got to go into a store and you're sweating already and you got to go into the changing room and your mom's waiting outside I wonder when I'm ever going to stop talking

about my mom waiting outside the changing room for me to look for her to say lift up your shirt turn around for me Connor turn around for me I can feel my my love handles just seeping, just pouring over the edge of these thick denim jeans. I'm drenched in sweat.

I feel disgusting. I'm about to cry. I've tried on one, all of one pair of pants. And I am going to buy a gun at Academy Sports and Outdoors, and I'm going to aim it right at my cranium in the Aeropostal fitting room,

and I'm going to pull the trig. There is nothing. I mean, I am, right now I am in the changing room. at the gap. I am right there. Talk about dissociating. Actually, that's the time I wish I could actively dissociate. Dressing rooms don't feel real.

Dressing rooms feel like stepping into a portal to another realm. Hell. Hell. And there's never a C in fitting rooms. The Urban Outfitters dressing room, they put those mirrors in there for some sadistic purpose. Those are not mirrors.

Those are fun house designs. It's sick. It's distorted. Okay. The Jonathan's invite you over at 6 p.m. on the dot. They go, oh, wait. Mine's being the exterminators over at mine. Other J.

Oh, crap. I Airbnb'd mine out. We're going to have to meet in the urban outfitters fitting room and to lick the frog. Can I keep my clothes on? No, you have to be trying stuff on the whole time. Okay, so just to repeat the situation back to you to make sure I have it correctly. Yeah. I am both Jonathan.

Jonathan One's house is currently under extermination. Jonathan II is renting his house for an Airbnb. So the only other place we can meet is a dressing room in an urban outfitters to lick frogs. And I have to be trying on clothes all the time. And it's the week of the nearest high school's prom and they're all in their shoplifting. I mean, am I going? Is that the question? No, you're not going to prom, but they're knocking.

Am I participating in the event in the dressing room? Of course. There's nothing that will keep me from them. That's awesome. There's nothing that will keep me from them. Oh, my gosh. You know, one of the worst days of my life, right when I started working full-time out of college, I had an event that I was putting on.

in California and I was at Forever 21 of all places because I needed something quick I just needed like a button up shirt or something It's still open I thought it closed They've been telling us that for 15 years

It is still open Something very very fishy is happening Agreed over there Agreed So I go into this Forever 21 that at that time was closing Which is so weird And I was like

Are you guys open They're like what do you mean? Yeah I go half the lights are off And like nothing's on any shell. Like, you guys just have troughs everywhere full of clothes. They're like, I don't figure it out. I found a shirt.

I couldn't find the change rooms. I didn't even know if I was allowed to go in them. I find the changing rooms. It's in the bowels of this mall. Like, it's a forever, massive two-story forever 21. I find these fitting rooms. I have to, like, push my, went my way past what looks like a monster's dirty laundry.

Like, it's just like heaps and mountains of just piles of clothes. and I find a fitting room and I go in and I try all this stuff on and like this all sucks like whatever I'll get this I go to get out of the dress room handle breaks off of the door and it was a floor to ceiling door I had to call the mall

that I was in smart or you'd even think of that I was gonna call 911 and then I was embarrassed because I'm in a Forever 21 locked in the fitting room but it was horrible because I was on a time crunch you were on a time crunch and I was locked, I mean,

true, true loneliness. It was like, not even claustrophobic. It was just like, this is a, this is a sick, sick prank. That's tough, Connor. But I got out. Like, if you're in a place in your life right now

that feels like you are locked in a forever 21 fitting room, someone from the mall is coming to get you. And it gets better. Is that the only place you've ever been locked inside of? Yeah. Yeah. I, here's the thing.

At overnight camp, we had to pray every morning in a big room. And so I went into the bathroom and I got locked inside during prayer time. And then was like banging on the door and I was like, I'm locked in, I'm locked in. And so then I was in there for probably like 40 minutes of prayer. until someone got me out. But here's a thing, Connor. I didn't actually get locked in. Made the whole thing up for attention

and because I didn't want to go back out. I mean, I see you. I hear you as well. I just didn't undo the lock. So it was an easy fix for them. I was going to say, don't bathe their lock. It wasn't even, I mean, they banged down the door.

And then they were like, oh, it was just locked from it. You could have just twisted it? They didn't even, I was like, it was jammed. They didn't really, the door was broken. They didn't have any proof that it didn't. It was like one of those like latch ones,

you know? Oh. So they didn't have any proof. Yeah, it was loud. It was just locked. I could have unlocked it. But it was easier for me to say the lock is no longer working.

I can't come out. Does that make sense? Yeah, it makes sense to me. And before you all are like, that's a waste of resources. Whatever. I was 11.

So. And 11 year olds are allowed to waste resources. 11 year olds can waste your resources if they want to. Now, I was very unwell. That probably had something to do with it. Did anyone over there see this tweet that this dude tweeted? And he was like, it's crazy the things you realize when you get a girlfriend, ha-ha.

And his one example was, I just realized I can open the window and it lets in a breeze. And then another guy responded and said, I have my whole life I've always hated showering. I've hated showering. I think it's like one of the hardest things. I can't get myself to do it. And then he got a girlfriend. And his girlfriend was like, let's shower together.

And he turned on and he goes to get on. And she goes, are you not going to wait for it to heat up? He goes, I had never even considered the fact that I can like stand outside the shower while it heats up and get into a warm shower. I've always gotten in and turned it on. There's no way. Yeah. And I thought my ass was dumb.

There's just some things that you don't. No. What's yours? Or what's something that you learned too late? I've definitely had stuff that I've learned too late. Mine was stopping for school buses. You didn't know that you had to? I'll never forget that because my mom passed one one time and got a huge ticket.

Yeah, no, I literally had no idea. I don't know how I missed that. And we were in Illinois for some reason. And she had to fly back to Illinois to do her court date. Oh, my God. I was like, you're like a, you left state lines. She's like, I didn't, I don't live there. But I was like, you got a ticket and then you left the state.

Like, I feel like that's, we were on a road trip. Uh-huh. We had to leave the state. But I had to have something. That was, like, a teen. I'm trying to think of something more recent. Come back to me. I realize most.

I realize most things now. I really want to tell you funny, I'm going to have to tell you funny story and bonus. Just so everybody knows, every story we tell about someone, even if we don't use their name, like it somehow gets back to people. So like, I'm just telling a funny story and bonus. And this is a great time to join bonus today. If you want to, hop over and join bonus for me right now. Hit this note for me.

Now. No. Um, I guess I don't have anything that I learned late. But I know that when we stop recording this episode, I'm going to remember something that I did. I have to share something sweet with you. Huh. Hold on. I have to find it first, though.

Well, while you're finding it, can I talk about something else? I've never talked about this on here, but it is something that catches my attention every single time it happens. And it does happen several times a day. I don't know how to turn on the beauty filter or whatever on TikTok. It seems like everybody has it on. And do you see when it glitches when people are like moving around a lot in their faces like? Yeah. How do you not, how are people not embarrassed? Men too, not just women. It's like glitches and it literally. makes them look like robots. Like I see your, your face twitching. I know, I want that. I can't find it. I'm not even, I'm not even, yeah,

I'm not talking crap because I just use, I'll do use face tune if I need to. And people have clocked me several times. I'm not, I'm proud of my, my face tune usage. Can I tell you the cute thing? Hit me, yeah.

You know that TikTok trend that's like, when I say blank and nobody gets it? And it's like something like an insect joke that they or like something from a fandom or whatever. Brooke, I reposted this. I know what you're going to say. Did you? I don't see that.

But this sweet girl Olivia posted one and was like, when I say yay, negative connotation and no one gets it. And she did like a whole slideshow of like B&C slash like not that y'all care like bits. And it was like very sweet and heartwarming. Do you want to hear them? Yeah. Okay. There's when I say yay, negative connotation and no one gets it.

When I say not right now and no one gets it. Classic. When I say came across my desk and nobody gets it. Great. When I say in addition to as well as also and nobody gets it. That one is hard to shake. That one will be around for a while. When I say I'm getting toe up tonight and nobody gets it.

When I say that's so Pacific and nobody gets it. That still happens to me. A lot of people are like, I don't like I hate when Brooke says like Pacific when I think she means specific. You dumb broad. When I say I want to go to Adagianas and nobody gets it. I feel like we don't really do Adagianas on here. We don't, you and I don't do Daugianos. Yeah.

But and then all the comments are like, my tubes are tied. Nights are the hardest. We know your heart. Well, that's a lot. Say what now for me? Holy freaking air ball. Be sweet. I've always said that.

Ending every sentence. thanks that's a big one um it's just so it made me like feel really good and happy and very smiled upon and safe i got when i say how come and no one gets it when i say papa legume and no one gets it oh my god this is a new one when i say yay to bad news and no one gets it when i say nights are the hardest and no one gets it when i say different structures for different folks and no one gets it when i say my tubes are tied when i say i'm addicted to this young man when i say what cut that one's that one's that one's that one got my ass good what cut what cut what cut what cut steak wow these are good wow this is making my very very fat heart very happy this is make my huge my massive ass shake and quiver in the night

that's very sweet to me my very very very fat heart very very very fat heart okay very very much feeling safe and smiled upon um okay i want to say because you're dressed up like a small doll. Like a little girl doll. I am a real doll. I'm a real living doll. I'm a real boy. I'm a real boy. I look like Stuart Little today in my outfit.

Matt Rife bought that doll that we were talking about, that haunted doll. Matt Rife not only is the caretaker of the Annabelle doll. He owns the entire museum. He owns the estate. He owns the estate and all of the artifacts that. come with it. He, so this is like a really specific, I would say almost

targeted move by him. I agree. That is taking him in a very specific direction, in my opinion. Is he still doing comedy? It's impossible to say. Is he still tell him those jokes? He did make, he did make his nut though. He made his nut. He made his nut. He made his

money. Yeah. I think that's a saying. I do believe the way that he's interacting with this haunted doll is asking for it. And I don't like to say that, but. And it's never the first thing I want to say. I don't like to say that. I believe that he's able to communicate with the doll because he... Matt? Yeah, I think he's haunted too. I think he was put on this earth to commune with the Annabelle doll. That's a sinister. piece of fabric. I mean, just yikes.

I don't even like looking at it. I'm being so serious, let alone talk. It's really, like they belong. That would be a very scary movie of, like, meet the Fawkers, but it's Matt Rife is like the kid and he's bringing his girlfriend home to meet his parents,

the Fawkers, and it's Annabelle. I didn't want to say that either, but like his whole brand being like, I'm going to have sex with your mom. Like I'm like a handsome young. Oh, they could call it handsome devil. Oh my God. That was brilliant in an insane way and in an amazing way.

They could call it handsome devil. I totally agree. I was thinking the same thing, but I don't want to put out any sort. Like everyone do your own thing. I'm like so cool with you guys hanging out. Do not care. Have fun.

Enjoy it. Are you saying because you're worried you're going to get pushed back from the Matt Rife community or you're worried you're going to get haunted by Annabelle. See, like I don't like to touch this stuff. It's scary. Annabelle or Matt Rife? Both. Both. Both. Okay.

Both and both. That's what I'm saying. Have fun. I don't want to say anything. I did also have the inclination to say I do see that he wants to date Annabelle. Like I do see. Connor, it feels not only sexual but romantic. Thank you so much, Brooke.

Yeah. We have yet again. against all odds linked up and a million tiny pieces. Against everything keeping us apart. Against everything keeping us apart. Miles. We could be miles and miles and miles apart.

What's that song? High school musical. Yeah. Nice. Just want to be with you. Senior Springs. Be miles and miles and miles. Very good.

And we linked up and both agreed that Matt Rife might be having sex with this all. Get ready to. to see that coming to a major motion picture screen near you. Do you think that No, I don't. What?

Nah, I don't want to. I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to, I think we got to do it passes. No, I'm serious. Like, I don't want to touch anything surrounding this. I'm scared. Like, I'm just being, I'm being frank and transparent. Fine. Well, I'll see you in the bonus then.

That was delayed. I can't even the last, remember the last time I ate food. Beef. Um, um, Um, um, um, Yeah, let's go to bonus. Let's go to bonus. We got to save some of our Wad for bonus. Okay. Some of our load. Some of our load.
