Hey everybody, welcome back to Brooke and Connor make a podcast.
We're here in Philadelphia.
Welcome.
Welcome to my home.
This is Mama and Pop-Up's house.
I know, finally.
Where I live when I'm in Philly, because really everyone else has moved away except for
you guys know, Aunt Susu.
Still lives in Philly, my brother, and then Mom-M-M-Pup in the summers.
But that's really it of the Philly family.
So here we are.
It's great to be here.
Thanks for having me.
This place only existed in my imagination up till now.
How does it like live up to your expectations?
Oh my gosh, you guys, if you could be as cozy as me, there's no way.
There's no way anyone's ever been as cozy as me.
I watched The Bachelor on this nice cozy couch yesterday in the morning with two cups of coffee.
I was in a dream state.
What about like beyond the house?
Oh, the house.
Philadelphia.
Oh, Philadelphia.
Yeah, I'm confused about Philadelphia.
It was nice coming into the city.
I didn't understand Philly is a city.
city at all but when I got here it was like you think it was a state no no no no no I just didn't
know I have nothing to base it off of I knew the Liberty Bells here we haven't even seen her
where does they keep her mm-hmm yeah she's cracked up she's she's she's all she's cracked up
to be um she's cheeked up we saw a lot of we Ben Franklin and William Penn no
figurines getting into Philadelphia is like if you opened up a textbook and got sucked in
like one of those old TV shows we used to watch
in classrooms
everything was so old
that's actually like I didn't know how much
I miss that and how much you don't have that
in L.A. Like there are no founding
father statues
in L.A. and there should be.
Yeah.
Missing the founding fathers
deeply in L.A.
Yeah. Like imagine
they're like good people though. Those are the kind
of founding father statues that I want.
We need some founding sister statues.
are some founding mother statues
awesome yeah there I said it
yeah someone has to
why is no one talking about the founding mothers
we could always do like
I know you could do this like Peggy
Angelica and Eliza statues
you know the girls
Angelica like the Rugrats
no you know the Skyler sisters
you always talk about them
what are you talking about?
I'm so sorry I'm
I'm too son to speak
what are you talking about
Philip Skyler
girls.
What the hell are you talking about?
Is it Philip? I actually don't know if it's Philip.
What? Do you know what?
Is he? Can someone, I feel like I'm...
I just like, I don't know what to say. It's an integral part of history.
If you don't know, you don't know it.
What's the, can you just walk me do that part of history that's so integral?
Yeah. So basically Alexander Hamilton was married.
Okay. Like, there you go.
Was mad. No, listen, this is actually important.
Was married to Eliza.
Eliza
Skyler
Hamilton
but he also was in love
with the older sister
Angelica
okay
and also close with Peggy
as well
the younger sister
and they were really
integral in the
story of the United States
Angelica founded
the first orphanage
in Hamilton's memory
and I talk about this all the time
yes
the first private orphanage
in New York City
I've never heard, I've never spoken any of those, I was thinking Angelica from Rugrats.
I was thinking Eliza Thornberry from the wildornberries.
That's where I was.
Yeah.
No, I've got to get this boy to Hamilton.
I know, for real.
I'm willing to do that.
Like, that's truly, like, I grew up in Philadelphia where they teach you, like, the history of the country as well as the founding fathers.
The only information I know is from Hamilton.
Hopefully, is it accurate?
Is it accurate?
I would say like maybe like 75% of it.
I think that they...
Who does Lynn Manuel Miranda play in Hamilton?
Hamilton. Oh, he would.
Yeah. That's actually something people talk about all the time is the fact that he cast
himself as the lead role with that, with that voice of his.
No comment.
I think, I mean, I don't think anyone else could have done it.
I also like, you know, whatever, I would have also written myself into the lead role of one of the
most successful plays ever.
Yeah, he brings his Genesequa to it.
Oh, he's got such, he's got such a something.
I don't know if it's Genesequa.
It is.
Mm.
I think it's more of like, it is.
Oh my God.
If we had to pick Founding Mothers, who would they be?
I would pick.
Are they currently alive?
It's funny because.
Or historical figures.
Whatever, whatever you want.
I think like it'd be hard to pick a currently alive
founding mother
because I feel like everyone's got
like a reason to be canceled
like normally I would pick like Oprah
but now Oprah's in trouble for
I would maybe Catherine Hahn
yeah
maybe
have you heard a bad word about her
I haven't no but she also
just kind of does her thing and then goes home
which I love which like yeah
founding mother status
founding mother status but I'm talking about like
we need some people that move the needle
a bit I actually have a little bit
I actually have a list on my phone.
A founding mothers.
Called women I love.
Very good.
Very good.
Shall I read some to you?
We can kind of figure out.
Oh, maybe Emma Stone.
No, I.O.
She needs to do more.
These people are too young to be founding mothers.
Oh, Sarah J. Mass.
Tina and Amy.
Merrill Street.
Merrill Street, yeah.
Oh, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin.
Yeah.
Okay, so, yeah, Merrill, Jane, and Lily.
Anything outside of actresses?
Maybe people that did something.
I'm not familiar with that space.
Yeah, well, I'm a huge Helen Keller believer.
Oh, that's a hot take.
I like, just like, like, it would hurt too much to not believe it.
She affected you.
She affected me so deeply when I read her biography in third grade.
And I was like, this is like a remarkable.
thing that's happened.
When you read her biography that she wrote.
I fully believe it because to not believe it is to crush a dream, which I have no
interest in doing.
I think that she maybe was like the inventor of ghost writers because someone was like,
let's go ahead and write a book for you.
I'm sure some, like maybe someone else like hand wrote it out, but she was communicating.
She couldn't talk.
She could communicate.
You can communicate in ways that aren't talking.
That's true.
Yeah.
Body language.
Mm-hmm.
She was just belly dancing.
I give you body language all the time.
Yeah.
Like what?
You can tell if I'm annoyed at you.
You can tell if I'm happy.
Zad.
Where are you right now?
What do you think?
I can't tell because you're wearing glasses.
I'm not giving any specific body language right now.
Mm-hmm.
Just relaxed.
I am wearing glasses right now just due to ugliness and such.
Because I have jet lag and we were supposed to record at nine.
Mm-hmm.
I think I walked down the steps at three.
10.05?
10.0.
10.
I snoozed.
I did not sleep a wink.
I mean, either.
I snoozed until the house came home.
And so now I'm not wearing any sort of like makeup.
Connor has asked me if I'm sick three times.
I asked if you feel sick.
Or if I wanted a wellness pill.
No, Connor.
I'm tired and not wearing makeup.
Did I ever tell you?
You guys know my sister.
I bet I ask.
No, I appreciate it. I appreciate you asking if I'm sickly.
You know, my sister is like young, very young, very pretty, and she was talking to this like freaky boy who like kept harassing her and facetiming her and she wasn't answering.
So I was like, oh, I'll answer and pretend to be you because like we look alike.
But I mean, you wouldn't mistake us from one another, but we look alike. And I was like, if.
there's something wrong with this kid like maybe he'll buy it so I answered and
pretended to be and pretended to be Gabby and he goes are you are you not wearing makeup
there's something wrong with that kid like he he knew something was different
between the two people the two sisters it has to be a matter of makeup couldn't put his finger
on it down but his face he was like his like face
dropped because he had clearly like been pursuing this one woman and then another answered and
it wasn't what he was expecting. We're in Philly right now recording remote because I had a couple
shows and I had I have four shows in Philly this week and I want to thank the citizens of Philadelphia
for coming out in numbers, boots on the ground so these shows they've been so damn fun and everyone
was calling me Laura last night. Laura? Yeah. Why? Because I was during
that shit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was great shows.
Everyone was
everyone was great.
Everyone was great. Everyone was having so much fun.
And I'm excited for tonight.
We have tonight too.
And then I'll see everyone Friday
at the Bell House in Brooklyn,
which I think is about to sell out
the second show for the late show.
Yeah, I'm really excited.
Thank you all.
I'm over the moon.
Yeah.
I have spent so much time in the bathroom.
I have learned I've got like a bunch of nervous
things
wait do you want to
you should come in
to talk about all my nervous tics
I think so
guys we have someone so special here today
I'm gonna hand it to Brooke
to announce because this is my new best friend
that I met yesterday in person
for the first time but I've known for my entire life
probably before I was born
we met crossing paths
in the before life
in some other realm
and we felt that yesterday
there is a soul connection
but you guys know my aunt Susu
We talk about her all the time.
Woo-hoo!
She's the greatest.
Come on over, Seuss.
You can, here, wait, Izzy, should she take my microphone?
Okay, we can...
Susu, how are you feeling right now?
I'm a wreck.
Why?
I'm just so nervous, but I'm so, like,
honored to be with these two very special people sitting beside me.
I just love...
of Connor. He is my new number one. Sorry. What's his name? Robert Patterson. Patterson and Gosling,
although I still love Ryan. But this one is my number one now. I love you to death.
There we go. My favorite thing is that like sushi yesterday said that I kind of look like Ryan Gosling,
which I've never gotten ever. Said what? That I kind of look like Ryan Gosling. Oh my God. I don't even,
I think he might be a better looking.
I don't know if there's a gas leak or something.
I don't look like it.
I'm so flattered.
Don't be flattered.
It's true.
It's just real.
That's the nicest thing.
Genuinely,
anything is it.
So that's why I went into my set yesterday,
so freaking pumped to my shows because Suu said it looked like Ryan Gosling.
And I carried that with me for six hours yesterday.
Well, that's good.
It was a little upbeat.
It was an oomph.
A little, yeah, a boost.
But it's, I'm just so.
proud of my Brookie, my first love.
Brokey.
So amazing what they're doing.
And that's it.
Great intro, so you really are natural.
100%.
150%.
Right now it's just us.
I was just going to say, I've learned a lot about my body.
We were talking about this yesterday.
About, I have started to get,
Remember like two weeks or three weeks ago I talked about how itchy I was my feet and then yesterday I told you I think that I'm about to get hives. It's anxiety hives, you guys.
It's totally anxiety. Just anxiety. I feel like growing up you were the only one that really related to the anxiety experience of mine. So you have any advice?
To be honest, I always, always felt a very strong connection to you because,
you were my best birthday present in the entire world.
She's born on the 18th.
I was born in the 19th of June.
So I always felt that there was this very, very strong connection.
And I kind of saw you.
I see that.
Me and you.
And this girl has a heart of gold.
She's just the most loving, sweetest person.
is that a bad bone in your body and your potential what you what you've done so bravely just
pick yourself up thank you so soon went to do this thank you that's so sweet i could never do this
i lived my life for you you did do this you did go to california when you were young i did but i didn't
do, I didn't do anything, just partied. Hey. You know, but I, to be honest, it, it was a very, very,
very, very spiritual experience for me and very, I learned so much through all of my experiences.
And, um, yeah, yeah. You kind of studied abroad in a way. You studied abroad in a way.
Yeah, I did. California is as far from, from,
Philly as like Europe is from some places.
Philly.
When I was in California,
everybody was really out there.
Everybody was being spiked with LSD and doing drugs.
And I thank God.
God was with me.
I never did that stuff.
But seriously, it was amazing at that time.
Like amazing how many drugs there were?
No.
Just the environment was so, like it was kind of spiritual.
You know, there was a lot going on.
People were experiencing a lot of.
Out of body.
Yeah, definitely out of body.
And what I experienced, like I wouldn't even talk about.
It was just so amazing.
I'm so curious.
Really?
Yeah.
What details can you give us?
It can even be surface level and we won't pry.
I'm trying to think.
Oh, I can't.
I can't.
I'm sorry.
I can't share it.
I could share it if I wasn't, didn't have a microphone in my face.
Oh, yeah.
That's smart.
Hey, that's media training and we don't have that.
Good for you. We should develop some of that.
Yeah.
Just like the notion of not saying everything that we'd possibly.
have in our heads into a microphone.
Well, I guess that's a catch-22 because it's really good to really own yourself and just
speak and say who you are and what you did or want to do.
But family will be watching this.
Oh, you know, who are you scared of?
I'm not scared.
Who don't you want to hear?
Pop-up?
No, no, no, no.
I just
Maybe, yeah.
Susu is Pop-op sister, by the way.
So Susu's technically my great-a-a-a-a-old.
Oh.
Yeah.
Oh, my gosh, cool.
I'm not afraid.
It's just that I rather not share.
I share things with people that I feel I could share.
Yeah.
That's normal and healthy.
I would want to touch on the fact that if Susu had a GRWM,
TikTok page like get ready with me get ready with Sousu page like you would go viral every single
day you have the potential if you ever wanted to access it because even if I like post you for a
second on anything like people are like oh my god Sousu Sousu Ssu Su Sisu they're so obsessed with you if you
if you ever wanted to dive into the social media space you're all you like you have a career for you
I really don't believe that though that I promise you that's so bizarre to me
It's hard to believe.
Yeah, I mean, no.
Yeah.
You've got a great personality and also spirit in general.
Oh, spirit is important.
And a relatability to you too.
Relatability.
Oh.
And we talked yesterday about meditation.
What were we talking about meditation yesterday,
about how everything's just in your head?
Yeah.
Or like so much of it is just mental.
I've learned through,
a wonderful healer, that I've recognized that in my life how much I have been manifesting illness in my body
and symptoms that are really my negative dialogue. And thank God that I've learned to change.
these negative dialogue into positive. I'm still working on it. You have to work on this all the time.
I need to work on that. Yeah, because it changed my life. It really did. I was, we were brought up. I think I could
say that for Brookie 2 with this terrible fear of illness. And this stuff that I was thinking
wasn't even my own. I didn't even own it. It was my upbringing. It was this,
environment, this negative environment that I was brought up with.
And I just, for you great kids out there and people that suffer with symptoms of illness,
it's easier said than done.
You have to work on it.
Meditation and I do these incredible I am affirmations by Joseph.
Stevenson.
I am.
I am.
It's a, it's a, on YouTube.
And it gives you such positive
affirmations and it's,
and it's just so,
it's so wonderful.
It changes your dialogue.
I think mom gave me one once that actually does help,
like when you're like in a state of panic.
Just like saying like,
I'm safe.
I'm safe.
I'm safe.
I am safe.
Yeah, that does actually help the more you tell yourself that.
If you're in a state of panic, because...
You know, your mother is to me, she's really ahead of her time.
She is so brilliant and she's amazing.
And it's hard for people to understand.
Because when I was 17 or 18, I started to eat organically and people thought I was literally insane.
and she sees things that we don't see because it's a different timeline, okay?
And that's what I...
To the timelines of it all.
Huh?
Nothing.
I know you.
No.
Go talk about the timelines.
No, it's just, it's...
I think some people have a different.
timeline. Some people can see are maybe more open to the energetic world. And I felt that I always was,
but I kept it under control because it was difficult for me. But you're a wizard, Harry.
No. No, I'm just...
that?
It's from Harry Potter.
Oh, Harry Potter, yeah?
A wizard. No, but it's just
I think that I was
just lucky.
You've...
No, my phone keeps going off and it's on, do not
certain people keep pushing the messages through.
Get a hint, you know?
I'm a do not disturb.
Right.
I was going to say,
I am safe, I am safe, I am safe,
is so good in so many
settings, unless you're being
like stalked by like a large animal.
I feel like I am safe.
That's a panic state that you really aren't safe.
But even though, if you said that, if you said that in a panic situation,
you may not feel it, but the words changes the dynamic, the energy.
And it might just save your life.
I'm going to try it.
Like the thing about me, and I've always said this, is I will try anything.
I've got an open mind to a fault, I would say.
That's beautiful.
That's not, how could, that would never be a fault.
I was in L.A. for two weeks and I started buying crystals.
I said, if it works for someone, I'll put a crystal up my butt.
If I have to.
Well, I'm open too, so I'm not going to say no to that.
I'll see you after the show.
I mean, let me know if it works.
I will.
I sure will.
You know, because even placebo.
even if something is just like,
whatever, it's placebo.
But it changes your mindset.
Even if it changes your mindset
because it works for someone else,
that's fine for me.
I'm okay with that.
The placebo is fine.
You know, being open and not judgmental
is a very, very beautiful,
positive thing
because I think that's what
that produces love in the world.
It does.
It doesn't, it doesn't,
it just doesn't label anything.
It just gives you,
and that in turn heals you.
It heals you when you're able to really openly love,
which I'm not sure that I'm able to do 100%,
but I sure, you know,
that's what I really want to do is just be completely loving.
You are, like the most loving.
Uh-huh.
Well, I love you, you kids so much.
But I don't love all the people out there.
No, and you shouldn't.
I believe in going into everything,
maybe with more of like a closed mind
and then being pleasantly surprised
if it happens to open up.
Setting the bar really low.
What about going in openly and then closing up?
Closing up.
Not closing, but distancing when it doesn't,
when it doesn't feel right in your heart.
I just think my natural resting state is closed.
Clenched.
I'm clenched at all times.
So if it, and things, I can open.
Things can open.
Yeah, I don't have a problem opening with, with reason.
You go in with caution.
Yeah, exactly.
And then open as needed.
That's, you know, if that's the way you approach it.
She's like a clam.
Yeah.
Oh.
I don't think so.
Well, you, I knew you when I was born, so I was open then.
So I never, you never had to meet me closed.
Well, I've seen you go through your changes, your growth, your, I've, you know, I've always been with you.
So we all have that, you know, we all have our times when we're constricted or closed.
but I do believe that every single thing that comes to us is a learning experience and a blessing
in disguise.
I really do.
And however you guys, you know, go through it, your life and your journeys is exactly
the way it's supposed to be.
Yep.
Welcome to Philly.
Totally.
Sus, no, that's...
That's what I believe.
I'm no...
I don't really know.
No, I can't wait.
to re-listen to this every time I'm like questioning things.
Wait, why would you kill yourself?
Being negative.
Why would you, when you listen back, you mean?
When I watch this, I mean.
Oh, you won't.
No, also, I don't watch myself ever.
So you can skip on that if you want.
I'm unable to watch so much unless I listen to the whole thing back on 2X speed to see if we say anything funny.
And then I'll go watch it.
You can always cut it and edit it.
Oh, yeah.
We cut, we edit, we close, we open, we clinch.
She does that, right?
Yeah.
Well, Izzy watches the whole thing through.
And then says, cut here, do this, do that.
You guys are just incredible.
Well-oiled machine.
So are you.
Even on the road.
And Susie, you're watching The Bachelor right now, right?
Are you keeping up with it enough?
Yeah, I do watch it.
What do you think about Joey?
I think he's robotic and I think that he doesn't,
I think he's just so closed down that he doesn't show.
What do you mean, close down in what way?
Fear of being heard.
Yeah, I see that.
And he doesn't, he doesn't open up fully to the experience.
But, you know, if we don't open ourselves up,
we'll never really find the person, our person, who's right for us, because if that's even possible,
I don't know. You think it's possible for a person to totally be so fearless that they just
open up their hearts and who they are completely. I think, I see that with Mama and Papa up.
Yeah. Yeah. They're one of the lucky ones.
I don't think it's going to happen.
So cute, aren't they?
I don't think it's going to happen for Joey.
I think that this is not a,
this is not a correct season.
I think it's incorrect.
And I was going to say Daisy,
the blonde girl that's in right now.
Do you know Daisy from?
In the bathroom?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think Daisy was the highest contender
until I saw her music video
that was released this morning on TikTok
that I just reposted.
And now I can't look at her
in the face.
Why from the video?
Yeah, I'm going to show you after we get off and you'll totally understand.
It's a tough watch, Suu.
It's a tough watch.
Do you guys want to see a sneak peek of it?
Well, she's like the sweetest girl.
She's so happy.
I don't know how to explain.
Oh, it's a whole different personality.
Right?
A lot of people have completely different online personalities than they do in real life.
Yeah.
And to me, that's a red flag.
Yeah.
It's a little scary.
It's like you.
You two are all, you're so natural at this.
It was like you were meant to do this.
It blows me away.
Someone had released an article about us recently in the podcast space talking about
Brooke and Connor make a podcast and said,
it is refreshing that Brooke and Connor are able to let us into their lives in a way that most influencers don't.
And I think what they meant is.
is that we talk about, like, how many times we have bowel movements, like, constantly.
A pokey always talked about that.
Yeah, because she's...
As a matter of fact, every dinner situation, that was pretty much, it pretty much came up.
Par for the whole.
About the bowel movement, yeah.
Yeah.
Well, it's...
I have to go.
It's important to go into that space with an open mind, the diarrhea space.
To me, it's just, like, not mentioning something.
that I'm thinking of,
it causes me so much more discomfort
than mentioning it.
Yeah.
It's good.
You just express what you feel
and what you're thinking about.
I physically can't.
It works so well.
That's why.
Because it's so,
you're so, so natural.
No fake phony at all.
You hate phony stuff?
Yeah, I do.
You want to hear a funny story about a phony?
Yeah.
I was in Connecticut one time with my friends at a casino,
and this guy was taking pictures of the people.
Why are you in Connecticut at a casino?
One of my friends' dads randomly owns a hotel, like in the middle of Connecticut,
and we thought it was really cool to go from Texas to the East Coast to go see this hotel.
Oh, you went all the way off.
Yeah, I mean, it's like a, it's like a franchise situation where it's not like a magnificent, you know,
but it was
fun for us
like in high school
to go out there
and we hung out
and we had fun
we went to the casinos
we drove to like
Rhode Island
which was so fun
it was a blast
but we go
we go to this casino
and there's this guy
taking pictures
and he's saying
he's
he's saying he's this magician
crap
what's his name
he's saying he's David
no not David
Blackfield
not David Blaine
something that sounds
like a black widow
like crap
magicians
no
No, I can figure it out.
Anyways, he's saying he's...
What?
No.
I have to get it right because it's, for some reason, that really important.
A magician.
Famous magicians alive.
Not David Blaine.
Chris Angel.
There's this guy taking pictures with people.
I've never seen Chris Angel, but for some reason, me and my friends were like,
that is not Chris Angel, like telling all the whole card.
like do not waste your money like that's not chris angel that is a phony he is a phony obviously we were
in high school and we had probably two drinks and we were just like being assholes it was chris angel
and we were escorted away from him later that evening when i saw him behind me i was like oh it's
christ angel and i was selfieing like this and he had like two young young ladies on his arms and
they were walking towards us and one young lady did not see me
and somehow hit her nose on the back of my head
and it was bleeding.
Yeah.
Yeah, I was like this not moving and she was looking at him
and hit her nose on video?
It's on video somewhere.
I had it for the longest time.
I think I had like an android at that time.
You had an android?
I had an android.
I thought they were so cool.
What do you mean?
There's a Google phone that was like a big competitor.
I remember when people were all getting phones,
I was like I looked up all the specs, like all the tech specs.
And like on paper, it's like, oh, this one's better.
But little did I know that everyone in the world was going to get an iPhone.
And you know it came out on an iPhone that year that I got my Google phone with a two-year contract?
Instagram.
And I had to use Instagram on my friends' phones to post pictures of like my snacks and the sunset.
So that was hard for me.
That was really hard.
Yeah.
I had to push through.
Susu, do you have any social media?
No.
Would you ever want any?
You mean followers and things?
What do you mean?
Or even just accounts.
Like you don't have.
I don't do anything like that.
I just watch you guys and your podcasts and no.
I don't have Instagram or anything.
That's for, I'm jealous.
I'm jealous too.
It's just not my world.
that's fine
you know it's I feel like
you're living in such peace
like a village that's untouched by mankind
and like I really do think
you'd be really good at like
get ready with me and it'd be really successful
but it would ruin your life
ruin her peace yeah she needs to protect her peace
yeah why would it ruin my peace
because you'd get addicted to it
because you would do so well
it is such a potent drug
to be taking
likes and engagement in things
that you would be high
and then it would kill you.
Right. You just like start to constantly
chase the high. It's interesting.
It's like the LSD.
That being said, you'd be sitting next to Emma Chamberlain
at Paris Fashion Week as well, so it's a trade-off.
You have no idea who that is.
I really, yeah,
that doesn't
it doesn't interest me to be.
I don't, yeah, I totally understand that.
Years ago it would, but not today.
You're right.
It's such so introspective.
Mm-hmm.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
Well, I have questions just about your general interests because I think one of the things
that we have in common is just liking things a lot.
You know, like watching a TV show or a movie and then just being thinking about it and having
it consume us for a long time and also loving these celebrities and whatever.
So is there any movie or TV show or anything recently that?
that has had you kind of in that state?
I don't really love celebrities today.
Today?
But you have celebrity crushes.
Yeah.
Just because I think they're beautiful and gorgeous,
but that's fine.
Yeah, that world to me is just, it doesn't,
it doesn't seem, it seems too superficial.
And it may not be.
But for me, it just, it feels that way.
So you don't care about your boys anymore,
Ryan, Robert Pattinson and such?
No, I don't.
Outside of what they look like.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like, if I see a movie.
That's healthy too.
Yeah, that's how I feel.
Yeah.
But you're number one.
Oh, I love you to death.
I'm serious when I say that.
So beautiful.
I also don't have any crushes or anything.
Celebrity, no.
So we're evolving together in that way.
Did you guys see this new Ann Hathaway movie, speaking of movies that's coming out?
Do you know about that?
Okay.
So it's a book that's based off of Harry Seiles.
It's based off of a book that's based off of the idea of Harry Seiles.
Really?
I would love to see that.
When is that coming out?
Maybe May?
In the theaters, right?
I would love to see.
that. I like very moving, deep. I don't think that's what you're going to get here. No, but
generally, I like movies that are, that means something. I can't stand in the sci-fi stuff and all that.
Do you like that? I never had any interest in like fantasy or sci-fi until very, well, I still don't
really care for sci-fi, but very recently I've been introduced to the fantasy world. And,
And there's no place I'd rather be.
It's my home, yeah.
Like for what movie?
What?
It's actually books.
I've been reading a lot of books.
Here we go.
A lot of fantasy books, yeah.
I'll head out.
So what is it, where does it take you?
What?
To Perinthian.
Perinthian is one of the worlds that I live in right now.
So it's just more so like a space that has fairies,
but not the kind of fairies that you're thinking of.
More so spelled F-A-E.
R-I-E-R-I-E-S.
So it's just like, kind of like a human but more elevated.
Your phone's ringing.
Do you want to go get it?
I'll go get it.
You can finish telling you about that.
Basically, it's just they're just like humans, but kind of have more elevated senses
and abilities.
So kind of like.
They're more connected.
More like kind of powers in a way.
And they can, you know, speak via mind and some of them can fly and kind of, you know, just like,
it's just like humans, but like just like more abilities.
that you would kind of dream to have.
Well, I totally.
And romance.
I totally believe that because I think that we have,
we're so much more connected to possibilities and what's out there than we're aware of.
It's endless possibilities in the fantasy realm.
Amazing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it's nice to just like get out of this world completely and just enter another space.
There was the alarm.
Yeah, I think you're very, very, I think you're a very deep person.
I think you're very spiritual too.
But you don't, I don't think you believe that, do you?
I don't feel spiritual.
Maybe you haven't tapped into it yet.
I guess everyone has that and can tap into it or not.
The question, if you tap into it or not.
I'm tapped out.
I absolutely tap into it.
You are.
All the damn time.
That's why me and you have that thing that we have.
we had a soul connection on this actual couch, actually only a few feet away.
I have it all the time where I'm...
That's so good that you're open to believing that there is that possibility.
It's as likely that there is that possibility as if, as it's not there.
Like it's just the same amount of likelihoodness.
It's more so.
What even is this?
I say that all the time.
I do agree that like when you kind of think about like how.
how intricate the human experience is and like the human body and all that.
It is crazy to think that something bigger doesn't exist.
The possibilities of this exact everything that's here right now,
everything we're looking at us sitting here,
us knowing each other are so impossible that the most impossible thing
that we can think of is just as likely to be possible,
if that makes sense.
It's crazy that we can talk like this and we're not on LSD, you know?
this is brain rot but um what i was going to say sorry about the anne hathaway movie coming out
is it is weird to see anne hathaway for me as she's princess diaries and now not age since she
was the princess of genovia but they have casted her as the older woman for the first time i've
ever seen like i don't i haven't watched any of her and i feel like this is going to be like a big
film for her and it's weird to see like a celebrity that you think of as devil wears prada like
what's the one where she's a princess
not princess diaries though
Ella enchanted
Elle enchanted great movie
great soundtrack
there's a musical I like
Sorry what is this music
movie about with her
Brooke knows more than I do
It's about this
From my understanding
It's about a mother and a daughter
And the daughter is like obsessed with this boy band
And the mom takes her to see the boy band
And then they like meet the boy band
And it ends up being the mom
That falls in love with the boy band
main member of the boy band.
And that sounds like me.
Really?
And so that's Anne Hathaway.
And it's a real story, right?
No, it's just based on the idea of Harry Styles.
Okay.
So is this kind of like what you always talk about, your fan fiction and this is a fan fiction?
This is essentially fan fiction that just skipped the fan fiction piece and went to just a book.
Is it not weirdly pedophilic?
How old is this point?
I think he's over 18.
Okay.
For sure.
Okay.
It feels weird to me.
Yeah, it's definitely an age gap.
But people like, that's one trope that people like love in romance stories is like an age gap trope.
There's different like genres of romance that people love.
One of those is age gap.
Okay.
For me, Connor.
Yeah.
Enemies to lovers.
And there's, there's one bed at the inn.
There's what?
There's one bed at the end.
Oh, shoot.
We have to stay a night at an inn.
Oh.
And there's only one bad.
Shoot.
Those are my, like, I love those.
I see.
Yeah.
But a lot of people love age gap.
Me?
Doesn't, like, doesn't do anything.
That broke me actually the wrong way.
Yeah.
It's just like,
Anne Hathaway is like the older woman,
and she's in love with this much younger guy,
and it's an age gap love story.
Who's the guy playing Harry Seiles?
I don't know how to say his last name,
but he was in red white and royal blue.
Yeah.
Are you okay?
A mint?
There's one right here.
Oh, yeah, these ones are delicious, but I guess they give you cancer, so you're not going to like these ones.
We've been saying at obviously Brooks' grandparent's house for this weekend.
There's been this alarm that's been going off.
And at first, Brooke was going to give me a tour of the house.
And I'm like low-key kind of scared of the East Coast, like straight up.
Why?
It gives me a horror movie that's set in.
like a house at the end of the block and the wood like those those those those books that are called like
house at the end of the street with the girl the girl in the window across from the girl in the mirror
type yeah no even like a nice house like this I'm like we're in the woods and someone's like coming
in here and dismembering us like that's immediately what I was thinking and briggs was like no it's not
like that we pass a graveyard right after she says that we get in and there's this noise that keeps
happening and it sounds like a car locking and so I was noticing it but I was like Brooke
are you also hearing that and she's like yep and it was the alarm that was like low on batteries
or that is low on batteries but you actually can't change them as a as a as a citizen as a what is
it called lay person as a lay person so the alarm guy came after it was beeping for a full 24 hours
throughout the night oh it's still beefing.
It is still beeping.
He was here for an hour yesterday.
He said,
it's all good,
dead serious.
And it beeped throughout the night.
It's like genuinely like Chinese water torture.
Like it's like a psychological form of torture.
It's not even.
It's not even on a schedule.
It is like it will stop for hours.
Right when you're like, it's over.
Beep.
You never know when it's coming.
I've had that at my house since I moved in.
And it's the sum pump.
in the basement.
The sun pump?
Yeah.
And they finally, after all these people were coming and fixing it was still beeping and was
driving me crazy.
But that was a different noise.
Somebody finally came in.
Are you sure?
I'm sure that was.
Because I know.
What is a sun pump?
It's in the basement and it takes out,
uh,
excess water.
If there was a flood or something, but it says what it is on the, right now,
saying it's a Wi-Fi issue.
Oh, okay.
Because I know it was driving me crazy.
I thought that I would, like, jump out the window.
It wouldn't do any good because it's first for living.
But seriously.
You could always just go for a broken bone.
You could just get at, like, you could leave at that.
You would just be leaving.
Oh, my God, so funny.
Also, the basement thing is like a new thing for me because in Texas, we don't have
basements.
Oh, really?
No, I can't remember.
remember the reason why? I think it's because we're at...
I think it's... I think it's because
of flooding and I think it's also because in Texas
we have like water basins underneath
the ground. Oh, that's why.
Well, it's like a
natural aquifer
type situation that's just like underneath
sedentary rock.
It doesn't matter at all.
Like, I'm sorry for sharing that even.
You could share anything.
Well, the basement thing is cool to me.
I always dreamt of having a basement.
I remember
I found out late in life that not everyone had basements and it freaked me out.
Why?
I just thought that that was the structure of every home.
Oh, really?
No.
I don't like basements.
I wish I didn't have one, but.
It's so nice to have like an extra whole floor of your house and it's, you don't have to build it any taller.
It's underground.
Yeah, if you have the funds to finish it.
Yeah, I know.
I feel like every basement I've ever been in has been like, we're working on it.
and it's like just wood and like insulation.
You know what's funny about in Texas we always had tornadoes?
And you know how people like usually go into their basements for tornadoes?
Like in Ohio you can go into your basement or something.
In Texas we had my whole family had to just like get into this closet in our guest room
and put a mattress over us and it was just like so weird.
Yeah for like glass and stuff if the window were to break like you want you.
Did you experience?
Oh yeah, a bunch of times.
What was it like growing up in Texas?
it was fine it was it was cool i didn't like it um well because you're so you're so i i had a good time
i had a good time i didn't realize that like anything else was around until i travel a lot actually
but like yeah when i finally did you travel yeah a lot but um i like have no interest in going
back yeah oh i couldn't see you i don't see you in texas now anyway you because you're
you're so,
you're so talented and out there.
Thank you.
It's so amazing.
I should say,
I have no interest in going back
to my hometown.
There's a lot of places in Texas
that are cool.
Are your folks still there?
Yeah.
You do go visit, right?
I haven't been,
this is the longest I've not been back.
How long?
Like, almost like a year and something.
Oh.
Which is crazy.
But I need to go
genuinely bid farewell
to my family dog,
which is crazy.
He's just,
so old.
And he's happy and he's running around and stuff, but like, he's impossibly old.
And he's not going to, there's, if he beats Bobby, the oldest dog in the world who was 31,
allegedly.
Your dog?
No, no, no.
Some other dog.
He was in Argentina.
Oh.
He was some, he was an Argentinian dog.
That lived to 31?
31, allegedly.
But they're saying they lied.
Oh, my God.
I can't take.
Oh, my gosh.
When my dogs died, I actually like.
when they were sick
I slept in the kitchen with them
it's so heartbreaking
oh my god
no at least just get hit by a car
so we don't have to watch it happen you know
just that you can't tell them
they don't know what's going on
you don't know because they can't
it's just
it's heartbreaking it is so heartbreaking
no but my dog is so old
and he's still so happy and chipper
but it's just like
he's old as balls
so like he's gonna have to
he's it's almost time to retire it's so weird all of my friends our friends have old dogs that like we had all
gotten in high school yeah and they're all dropping off like flies yeah like patrick's or patrick's
actually still alive tristan's just died Alexis just died sodi's just died yeah i don't praying for cleo
cleo isn't that old she's 13 she is my dog's 13 so precious they're so precious yeah yeah
Your dog, did you have that dog when you were?
Mm-hmm.
I was a small, yeah, I think I was, I don't even know how.
17, 18?
No, no, no, no.
You're way younger.
Oh, like, because we got Cleo when I was like 16 or 17.
Oh, maybe my dog's older.
I don't know.
I think she was three.
I think it was 14.
Yeah.
Maybe younger.
She wasn't a baby.
It's not time to do math right now.
No, not a math podcast.
Do you miss your dog when,
I do, but I know that he doesn't care about me.
Like, he's never cared.
He's an Australian Shepherd, and they don't care if you live or die.
They really don't.
Really?
No.
Was Gabe an Australian Shepherd?
Gabe.
You remember my dog?
Yeah, Gabe was, he was a mixture of, I think, a Labador.
He was in the...
He was furry.
He was furry.
He was had a long, long.
long hair.
Gabi did?
I don't remember that.
Yeah.
Black, he had short hair.
It wasn't.
His hair was long.
He's a long hair dog.
He's a long hair dog.
He was so fabulous.
He was such a great dog.
Miss him.
You remember?
Yeah, I miss him.
I know.
I have, oh, sorry, go ahead.
I just have an interesting thing,
like a random headline that I wanted to just read off.
I feel like, Brooke, you would.
You'll have something to say about this.
And Susu, I know for a fact you will.
There is a woman in Spain who just married a hologram,
and it's trained by artificial intelligence to have all of the parts of all her ex-boyfriends.
What?
Yeah.
So, like, her, its responses, and I can read details if you care.
An artist from Barcelona, Alicia Farmis, will be the first woman to marry a hologram generated by artificial
intelligence at a ceremony that will take place
a summer at a museum in Rotterdam.
Imagine a partner who's always there
when you need them and never gives you a kiss,
hug, or any form of affection involving
the slightest physical contact.
Thoughts so far.
I'd like that, Susu.
Someone with whom you share a romantic
connection engaging in lengthy debates
that intellectually stimulate
you in a profound manner,
yet who will never extend a hand
to change a light bulb or help with
carrying shopping bags.
So wait a second. What is a, what is it, a
hologram. It's like a projection.
So how does that get artificial intelligence?
Like light, kind of.
Energy.
Kind of, it's light.
Like, it's a, it's.
I don't know the, we don't know the science behind it.
It's like a, I'll show, I'll pull up a picture. I don't know if they have a picture, but.
I don't know if I could handle that yet.
I don't know if I'm that elevated.
On the other hand, you can count on their presence to permanently, permanently, and they'll never
distribute your sleep with their snoring.
this description may not fit the ideal relationship for many
but in a body's love from an alternate dimension
okay
AI is something of
of the future who knows you know
there was an episode of black mirror
similar to it that's incredible
yeah
I feel like that could be nice
like you don't have to touch them or that you can turn them off
just company
when you want it
Yeah I mean she's saying
It's so comfortable being alone
You know it's really
It's really fine for me
This is getting a little crazy
The more I read on
Love and sex with robots and holograms
Are an inevitable reality
She says
They are great companions
And capable of expressing empathy
Just as phone saved us from loneliness
And filled the void in our lives
Holograms as interactive presences in our homes
can take it even further.
This is disgusting now.
I don't like it.
Okay.
I'm getting scared.
You are?
Yeah.
Like just as phones filled the void in our lives,
go on a hike.
We're living in the future.
I don't like that at all.
Do you ever think about how much has changed,
like in your lifetime?
Like there wasn't a phone,
or there was no cell phones when you were born.
I was young.
There was no social media.
There were no phones.
but it was so fun.
It was so happy.
But there was LSD,
so you could actually marry
an artificial intelligence boyfriend
even though he wasn't even there.
LSD,
I don't,
I was in a crowd of girls that
we were like,
we didn't drink or do any drugs
or anything like that.
We were just, yeah, we were just,
we had crowds of girls and boys
and we just,
used to go to dances and just people danced people used to dance yeah oh that your your generation does not
dance except in front of our phone or in front of yeah right they're doing your um videos or anything
and that's sad to me because dancing is so fun oh it is no anytime i get a chance to really shake
my ass i do it it's so fun it's totally different and
And we always had a place to go to and hang out.
We used to go to the bowling alley.
And your father was always at the pool room.
Your father, yeah.
Was he good at pool?
Huh?
Was he good at pool?
He was good at a pool.
They excelled at everything they did.
That's so cute.
When you were in school with mom, mom and pop up, what were, I'm just curious,
what were their, like, reputations?
Were they the cool kids?
Well, your mother.
was known.
Yeah.
For my mom,
your mother.
Your mother, too.
Your mother, too,
was so beautiful.
My mom was known.
You know how in my day,
there were groups of girls
that were known as the beautiful ones,
and she was definitely one of those.
Gorgeous.
You were too, probably.
No, not me.
Not at all.
That's the truth.
Believe me.
I was not attractive.
That's not true.
Oh, it's so true.
But anyway, and Bob, my brother was,
she was always so funny and likable and so sweet and goodhearted.
That's precious.
Awesome.
They're still the same.
I love my brothers.
Even though I don't connect with them on, you know, a very deep level, they're just,
they're so great.
so good, good-hearted people.
And that's the most important thing.
I feel like you and Pop-Pup get along so well.
We do. I love Pop-Pup.
Rick, this is feeling really good on my lips.
If you get it, like, if your lips are chapped.
My lips are chapped.
I don't know if you can see the cracks in the blood from that camera angle, but.
Okay, Izzy, how long have we been recording?
Okay, let's wrap that up then.
Sisu, any last words?
Thank you so much for having me.
I appreciate it.
And it was so fun.
Thanks for coming on.
Thank you so much for coming.
Our favorite guests.
We hope you come back.
You know what?
They've been calling you behind the scenes?
Laura.
Because you've really been durn that shit.
No one thinks that's funny.
Laura Dern.
Maybe I'll jump out the first story window.
You really been during that shit.
Love you.
I love you, Sousu.
Thanks for coming on.
This was a dream come true.

We're just cutting the camera.
This week on close friends.
Tuna and salmon live together a lot of the time.
I'm going to challenge Brooke to pull something from deeper inside her ass.
But that guy did find a thumb in his chili, like a hamin thumb.
Was that Wendy's?
Wendy's.
They have a bugger on your glasses.
I black out and my fists in my mouth.
Like down my throat.
Yeah.
I'm sucking.
on each finger.
Tittillating.
Tricelarylides.
Almost.
That's what's wrong with my heart.
