That was one of the best

days in my life. Truly. She's funny. For a girl. She's funny. Thanks, Matt. That's a really nice thing to say. Sometimes I watch some clips of this of this podcast, and you are like saying something so funny in Conner's in here going

A lot of people. What do you have to say about that? A lot of people say it. Well, a lot of people come on me and say they, say Connor never laughs at anything, Brooke says, I don't laugh at anything, but I'm not like hysterically. I wish I had a Cody Co Britney Britsky laugh.

Like I don't, because it would actually amplify our podcast a lot of it. I was like, right. Do a Cody Coe laugh. What's Cody Coe laugh like? That's pretty good. That's pretty good. That's like the intro to our show actually. Do Noel. Who. All right.

You know what? Today we're going to start with an intro. Hello, everybody. Welcome. back to Brook and Connor make a podcast. Today it's Brook and Connor and Matt King make a podcast because we have one of our favorite people, favorite people and good friends. Thank you so much, Connor. The feeling is mutual. I'm a huge fan of the Brooklyn Corner podcast.

We are a huge fan of you as a person and as an internet persona podcast host. I got to say, I was all shucking up when you asked me last night. It was really a sweet interaction. I was telling Connor about it. We were at Knitting Club and Brooke comes up. She goes, Matt, are you free tomorrow? And in my head, I'm thinking, I hope she's asking about the podcast. I'm hope she's asking about the podcast.

But I'd lower my expectations. I'm like, it's probably not that. She maybe needs just a favor. No. Because I would do that for you. I know you're an angel. You drive me to the airport? Me?

No. You shouldn't drive people to the airport. Never. No. And then never pick them up. I'm busy. Never. I would never ask anybody to do that for me.

No. I know. I have and I would again. I wouldn't want to be asked Because it puts someone in a weird position I cannot get myself to the Uber lot ever You can't? No, cannot get it

I can't do it. I even like to walk to it too Sometimes that's faster than the shuttle No, I can't, I can't Once I'm off the plane, it's like I need someone to get me from the gate Well, so are you Go ahead People that don't know L-A-X has a lot

You can't order an Uber to pick you up From your gate You have to either get on a shuttle Or walk through a construction site to get to this lot. And then once you order your Uber, once you're there, it's like 30 seconds because they're all waiting to go into this lot. It's supposed to make things more.

30 seconds and about 150 USD. Right. And I heard depending on your trip, actually, if you're not gone that long, it's better to just pay for the parking. I've heard that too. Than it is to go through Uber. But anyways, thank you guys so much for having me.

Oh, no. I was a last minute replacement. Can we say who I'm replacing or no? I don't know. But we can hint at it. Oh, well, I won't give too much away. but I just got to say it's an honor who I'm replacing. And if y'all knew who this was,

well, I can't wait to. I think we should hint at it because it's more fun. Okay. They're going to come on eventually. She's going to come on eventually. She just couldn't come on today. Come on what? I'm sorry.

Cool. Thank you. And I do want, I want to really preface and reiterate that you are not a last resort or, you know, nothing like that. You're my top toys every day, every day. And I hope you know that. Yeah. Thank you.

Yeah. You were like fully on the docket. It was just like a... Of course. We can't. It's okay. It's okay. I forgive you.

Let's get into a good conversation, all right? We're having someone on who is on one of our favorite shows to talk about on here. Yeah. And we can leave it at that and she'll be on eventually. I thought you were talking about me. No, you're our favorite person you're here. I'm just like, please. I'm like, what show am I on?

The price is right that you were on? Make a Deal. Incredible episode of Let's Make a Deal feature. It's the Christmas special. Check it out. I think it's on Paramount Plus. Let's just say I go over the big deal. All right.

He made a deal all right. Yes. Incredible episode. You didn't know this? No, it will. I guess it happened around Christmas time. I don't feel like I shared. Oh, that's me and Wayne Brady.

That's definitely a Photoshop version because I was wearing a reindeer costume on it. I originally was going to be dressed like a star and then I bought a star costume on Amazon Prime. and it looked like I was in the Ku Klux Klan. Like, it was a pointy cone head. But I went on, and it is incredible what goes down on that episode. I would really recommend the episode. Is there an episode number that we could recommend to everyone? Just go to the Christmas specials of last season, and I think it's December 23rds episode.

But I'm pretty sure I'm in the thumbnail. I better be. Yeah, it's a really, really good watch. Wait. Wayne Grady, that's cool. What did you win? Don't you get picked out of the crowd or was it like an influencer, like celebrity? Someone who was, I think a fan who was in charge of casting asked me to audition.

And so Mike and I, Mike, my co-host, Mike Sheffer, my manager, my best friend. We both audition. And Mike didn't get it. Oh, I feel horrible. Well, he put his hands behind his back in the audition. Like, they're asking questions about you, what you're into. I'm just super excited. I'm like, I'm a podcast host.

Right. And Mike was just like, I like numbers. I'm very analytical, and I'm like, dude, what are you doing? Hammer up. I was all off the side of the camera. You got to sell me this pen. Yeah. I like numbers.

I really like pens. Can you actually give me that pen back? Oh, Mike. But I got on the show, and there's a big deal. You go down to the final round because I originally won an outdoor dining set that was worth like $6,000. I've been to Costco. Yeah.

Oh, it was like not only just a grill, it was like a grill cemented into your patio. Wow. But I don't own a house. Right. So I'm like, I don't know what I'm going to do with that. And I had the highest prize. And if you have the prize that's the highest, at the end, you go for the big deal. Yeah.

And that's where you risk it between door number one, door number two, door number three. All of them are good prizes. But one of the- The girl was the top prize? Well, no, it was, I had won that in a round earlier in this show. And then I risked it. You risk the grill. Risk the grill to pick between the doors. Okay.

And I picked, I just went for door number two. I spent all night just drinking happy hour watching deal or no deal or let's make a deal. Trying to figure out if there's a code. Is there a system to it? Because only one person goes for the final deal. I got it. You got it. And I picked door number two.

Door number one, $6,500. Door number three was the grand prize trip to Europe and everything behind all the other doors. My door was a 72-inch Q-led T-Lead. in a mid-century modern credenza. Okay. I know you like your credensas. You always talk about credensies. I know.

I feel like I brought that word into your life. You did. I didn't know what it was. Is that what's in your room currently? No, I put my credenza in Zane's room because his was bigger. So I bought another credenza. But my TV is awesome. So everyone knows, you knew what a credenza was previously?

It's hard to say. It's hard to say. Pre Matt King, you knew what a credenza was? I think that was a... I feel like you talk a lot about credenza. Because I went to your house one time and I'm like, I think you really need a credenza, Connor. Yeah.

Yeah, I got one, by the way. I got a credenza. Oh, what kind of would we talk about? I got one from, uh, shoot, uh, West Elm, and it was on sale. So, like, I'm not a West Elm, not in my budget. He got money. West Elm needs a huge wake-up call. Uh-huh.

Like, I need to talk to the CEO and be like, you're tripping balls. You're like off your rocker. Yeah. This is a side table. what world do you live in that it's $800? I could close my eyes and you're paying for the name and grab materials in the woods and build the exact same.

That's IKEA. I implore you to. I might, I might. Now tell me, if you were to say, if say you didn't know what a credenza was and I say, what's a credenza? Food. A credenza would be food to you?

Like an appetizer. A credenza, yeah. Or a version of like a charcutory but with more options. Like an Italian. Or some sort of. Yeah. Italian appetizer.

Or I would think it would be like a part of the house, like a patio or something. Like, oh, let's go out on the credenza and like have some one. And have some credenza as well. Do you know what a pergola is? A merry go round. No. Isn't it like a merry go round? No.

A pergola is like the thing that's on like your patio that usually like the ivy is like over. It's like a wooden thing. A pergola. Oh, I was going to say it's a bird. Oh, no. It's a type of. You know what a pergola is because when you go to someone at a fancy house and you go nice pergola. They're like, thank you.

you. Wow. Oh, no. I went over to Phineas and Claudia's house and I was like, I love your pergola and they were like, thank you. You're the first person of really notice our pergola. That's a, that's a level of unnecessary architecture that you really have to build your career around. Yes, it's what, like I love it in like movies where, you know, like the guy's trying to sneak back into or see his like girlfriend. He has to climb the pergola and then it breaks. Or jumps through and it like falls through. Yeah. Oh yeah. That's a good, you've asked me what my favorite words are before and pergilla is a pergola or pergola oh pergola pergola pergola is a good one to add to that list i read my favorite words i read my favorite words i list of favorite words what were they sometimes

a bad podcast memory like well you forget everything it's it's hard to remember episode by episode it kind of blurs together words i like notes scallywag nefarious smashing as in like smashing yeah like the wild norberties uh vitriol uh hankering like i got a hankering like i got a hankering Chow, like goodbye in Europe. Rebuke, fuselage, which is the middle of an airplane. Apropos. Uh-huh. Is that you say that right?

I think it's propro. Apropos? Apropos? Is there apropos? Yes. Yes. I was like, you know Greek? Apropos.

That's like what comes out before the entree. Yes. Ornery under the credenza. We're having a propros under the credenza this afternoon. Meet me by the pergola. A trope, erroneous. More. That doesn't seem right.

What was that one? More, like a large-scale pattern. I feel like a lot of these are in a different language, Connor. Moore? M-O-I-R-E. Why are you putting accents on them? Oh, Moree? Yeah, a large-scale pattern.

You got to work on the spelling, too, if you're interested in all these words. Moray, oh, it's a textile with a wavy appearance made from silk or wool or cotton. This one I can't pronounce, but, man, I wish I could. Relegible? Beilaj. Balajage? Baliajage. Balaj is what?

Bayalage. Bayalaj. I don't know why you're adding it. Come join me. Come join me on the coast. We're saying on the bea l'agee. Belliage is what girls get on their hair, right? Yes.

Like a soft blonde. Have you ever switched up like? I've been blonde before. I was just telling Connor that. Yeah, I wanted to go back blonde just to have fun. Yeah. It was not good. I'll bleach my hair if you bleach your hair.

I could do it again. Yeah? Yeah, I went too hard the last time. What about if we do a lot? What if, oh, that's nice? Like, I went blonder than that. But Beliage is, like, out, right? That's out of style.

Beliage is, like, we had a moment. Ombre was out. Boliage took over Ombre. I feel like Boliage is still in. Baleage is what you get when you drink, like, a smoothie king smoothie, and you need to sprint to, like, a bathroom in the mall. It's like what's happening there. You guys been having good days, though?

Yeah. What kind of question? Just in general? And I feel like we should just say, before we get too. into it. Matt, for people that don't know you, and I'm sure everybody does, but for people that don't, what's your elevator pitch? My elevator pitch. I'm at King. I guess you could say I'm an internet personality. I've been around the block for like the past eight years. Used to be a Viner. Part of the vlog squad. Now I host three podcasts. Oh, congrats on the new one, by the way.

Thank you very much. It's called Good Influences. It's with me, Carly and Contro, Aaron Guilfoy, Mike Schaeffer. We have our first episode out now and I bet even more episodes are going to be out by the time you guys are listening and watching this. And yeah, and I have my own podcast, hoot and a half with Matt King and then unfiltered, Zane and Heath. Wow, Matt. Thank you. I don't know how you do it.

No, it's hard. It's got to be hard. Because we did three podcasts yesterday and I fell asleep on the floor of knitting club. Oh, you were exhausted. I was exhausted. I think I fell asleep for two hours. I was kind of napped with you. Like, I was sharing the pillow.

I didn't creep you out. I did kind of feel you around me. I couldn't acknowledge you, but I did feel you in my subconscious. It felt intimate. But I was like checking on Patricia, like, is this okay that I'm laying down with another girl right now? But, you know. I was dead to the world. I went, I had to go buy some last minute stuff because I'm going to Texas today for the fourth.

Well, crap, sorry. We're recording this in advance. It's okay. It's okay. Yeah, totally fine. Sorry, just my stomach dropped like I had given away something huge. So I went out yesterday after, so we did our podcast yesterday and then we did two episodes with Brittany and Sarah on their podcast. I'm nut dialing someone, by the way.

My term nut dialing for you don't wear underwear. I'm calling someone with my balls. I had to hang up just now. I don't know whose number that was. People have pointed out that they know you're not wearing underwear. I know. You don't wear underwear at all. No.

Okay. Oh, Connor. You're going to regret that. You're going to get me. I need to sponsor. No, I don't like underwear. I think it's, can, I put yourself in a box. Mm-hmm.

I probably am not fertile. I feel like if anything would be the other way around, wearing underwear would make you infertile due to compression. I think, well, like, when I go on runs, I wear compression shorts. Uh-huh. Because that's supposed to not make you fertile. What was I talking about? Oh, so we did two episodes of Britney Brozky and Sarah Shower's podcast, violating community guidelines.

And that absolutely, like, destroyed my brain for some reason, like doing ours and then doing two of those episodes. And I had to go out yesterday and I met my buddy at Zara. As you do. As one does, we did Happy Hour at Zara. They should put a bar in Zara. Absolutely. Well, that you can get six drinks at while you're waiting. waiting to get to pay because that's how long it takes.

I'm not a shoplifter, but they make it very tempting, not out of necessity, but out of impatience. Right. I will steal from Zara. It is tough. Anyways, so go meet him and I was talking to him. I'm like, I really don't want to complain to you because I know that like you work in sales and you work from nine to five, sometimes later, sometimes earlier to later.

Like, and he's like, dude, like, I think you're kind of giving us a lot of credit. Like, I work from home. I like do stuff during the day that isn't work. I kind of only work for three hours. day like when you're on a podcast you're talking and talking your brain's on like your whole body's on and then when you get off it's like like just i can't get a word out really i couldn't get a word out last night did you sometimes though like after you finish recording you still want to keep going no not once oh sometimes sometimes i do get kind of like a ride that high a little bit yeah oh i know

when we do our high episodes i don't want it to end i really want to do a high episode you stop smoking i'm having real i'm having difficulties although look at my new piercing i got God it's a weed leaf to commemorate my stoner era. Stop smoking weed, gets a gold leaf here. It's in memoriam. Celebrating myself. Who I used to be. Should do a high episode.

It's kind of fun. The first time you'll hate it and then you'll fall in love with it. I think maybe that could be sound off in the emails or the comments. We could either do that as like bonus content too. We could do an episode of that a week. That's what we do. Patreon. People love it.

It would kind of be like a. I don't want to have a panic attack in the studio It's been really bad I'll bring you a Kalanapin I'll come on and I'll be your buddy I can keep you balance Yeah that'd be fun Having people around is worse

Nightmare nightmare nightmare I can't even explain to you what's happening Because it's like rationally I know that if that happens I could be like okay you're high calm down But in the moment it's like I have six seconds to live I'm going to die on the way to the hospital I don't know what's happening You wouldn't have to pay the bills

Yeah, that is a good point. What do we? This isn't my podcast. I'm so used to like. So we went on Matt's podcast, Matt's and mics, and we were sitting there and like, you guys have a really structured thing going on and like you're able to reel it back to a sort of structure. We have a very loose structure. We're like, we're not married to the structure. You know, like if we go off on a tangent, it feels valuable to us, then we lean into it.

Then let's do that. And so, but I admire, like, you guys having kind of a track or a path. We're kind of just, like, blindfolded running through a forest. Right. That happened yesterday, too, with Brittany and Sarah. As they have a structure and they have notes very well thought out. And poor Britney and Sarah just. I kept being like, do you mind if I talk for 10 minutes?

Like, no, this is your podcast, but I have a tangent that I really need to. And then I'd be, and then Sarah would be like, I was like, oh, yeah, that's why my parents, like, really we have this disconnect there since like spring of 2010 and she's like, okay, so we're talking about Zane and Heath and like internet duos and how and I was like oh shit.

You kind of black out sometimes when you go on a tangent. Absolutely. We were talking about internet duos and just the internet in general on their podcast yesterday and I just know absolutely nothing about the internet pre-Tic-Tac.

Like you weren't like an OG YouTube watcher? I'm similar to that. I wasn't really on either. All I watched was just like stupid like like people falling probably and like pets. Like I never I just never got into it. So it's just such a different world to me and it's just crazy that I'm sitting next to the champion. Yeah. Me? Yes. Of what? The vine and the internet before TikTok. I guess so. It's cool seeing you guys come up in this whole wave of TikTok and I love that we're like friends. I feel like I manifested you guys too like in my life as well. That's too nice. That's a true nice. Here. Manvin? Wait. Oh my God.

Oh, my God. Another manifestation that happened. Okay, so. We, whenever you manifest something on here in this space, it'll happen. It happens. And we're being very careful with, because whoever's here that's doing fairly godparents or whatever are like sitting here listening.

Like, they're like, they must be running low on fuel because we've been using and abusing them on accident, not intentionally. Mm-mm. We need to be very careful. Be very careful. Because, okay, so I, it was in New York.

You just told this. No, and I never have dreams. Oh. And I wake up and I got a new phone so I didn't have numbers. And I get this text from a random number and it's like, hey, man, kind of miss you. And I was like, this could be anybody, literally. And I was like, hey, I hate sending in the text. It's like, hey, I'm so sorry.

I lost all my numbers because it's like bullshit most of the time when people say that. I genuinely lost all my numbers. If you're my friend, please send me a text. But I go, who's this? Matt I had a dream about Matt And I texted So I told you

I was like you were like It was more your dream for some reason Like you were more in it than I was I don't totally get how that works But like it was totally yours And I was just like there And I never have dreams Let alone remember my dreams

And it was you were fully in it like the whole time And then when I texted you back You were scrolling on your FYP And he sent a screenshot and my text popped up when the video of me on Gray's TikTok was on his FYP and he was like halfway through it. Just the universe connection. And I never send texts like that.

Hey, I kind of miss you. Because sometimes even when I'm trying to like reach out to people, I'm always like it's just to say hi, I miss you. I feel like that person is going to think, oh, they want something. Who is this? Yeah, but I understood because you responded in the group chat. Like I lost everybody's contact.

I don't know. And then I said, hey, it's Matt. Because I just woke up that morning. and I was thinking of you because I had missed you over the weekend and I'm like shit Connor because Conner's a great just like part of the weekends and everything

I love it when you're around and you weren't there and then I realized Fourth of July weekend was coming up and you I wasn't going to be around for you. I'm like I hope I see you and sure enough. Whoa weird. The vibrations were there. Whoa. Really weird because

I probably wouldn't have seen you this week at all. Right. If our guests if we didn't switch around guests also. And the text, like, it was man of a stage. That is freaky. It's true. It is freaky.

It is really scary what the universe is. It really is. S&L. S&L. This is really off topic. Did you see Alexandra Dodario got married? Not at all off topic for this studio. Not at all. The pictures?

Yeah. I saw them this morning. Beautiful. And I didn't want to, Ryan, so sorry out there. How did you, have you met her? I've never met her now. How do you, like I used to have, still do have a big crush on her. We all do.

I'm madly in love with my girlfriend. She's not married. I'm giving up on any of this. But I can't believe the day I went to Alexandra Dodario's TikTok account and it said she was a Fabula fan account. Connor Wood. Well, do you know what it says now? Connor Wood.

Do you know what it says now? What? Connor Wood and Brooke average fan account. No, I would not lie to you about that. She saw our podcast when we were like, because she finally took it out. So it was like Connor Wood fan account for the longest time. Connor wouldn't broke every again. She took David Dobercock.

Yeah, yeah. Well, she took both of us out and I think. And then we talked about how Connor, well, no, you were in it. You and David were in it. And then she removed that fully. And then we talked about how it was sad to see you go. And then she put this in it. Do you guys like DM?

Like, what's going on in the DM? I did. She didn't answer me. We didn't know. Me and her have like several days of DMs. Wow. Yeah. Which like.

But from a while ago, right? Yeah. It was a while ago, and I told this story before, but I was just basically, like, left or on red, because I'm dumb as shit, and I have ADHD, and I don't take anything for it. So I, like, just, like, wasn't thinking about it. And it was also, like, a very transformative time, and where TikTok was my entire life. Right. There was a bunch of DMs coming in. I was kind of, like, working my butt off on TikTok, so I was, like, not getting to my DMs so much.

And then someone saw that, like, my name was in her bio or whatever, and I was like, oh, I need to respond to her. And then I got a little drunk And I was like I come back and I'm like this is like Like if I die I want this like on my tombstone Like printed out Was she dating that guy during this time? She's very quiet like with her life

So I didn't I don't know This guy came out of nowhere I mean I'm happy for it She's in that like Sydney Sweeney I'm gonna date someone Is he famous or anything? I think he's like a director producer Kind of guy screenwriter

She kept it in the industry That's really lucrative And she's tagging everybody In these posts I love that suit though I know I want to rock that I like the whole vibe here if he's a producer he's doing a really good job

producing he's producing yeah yeah how long till she has a kid do you think I don't know but I'd like to congratulate her in person one day maybe with her in this chair because I was thinking you know how she was in Percy Jackson

no yes I never saw Percy Jackson oh my god great set of movies that's super weird coming from you but there's a new Percy Jackson by the way who's just like, people are freaking. He's very young, but he got cast. They're rebooting? They're rebooting.

They're rebooting. How many Percy Jackson's are there? I think that's one of those. It feels too soon to reboot. I know it does, but it's not because we are... It's never too soon to reboot nowadays. We can reboot. Reuse, recycle.

Mm-hmm. I'm all for a reboot every now and then. Yeah. What were we talking? Oh, so she was in Percy Jackson, and it brings me back because, like, you have this kid. and then suddenly they figure out their... Is Percy a wizard?

No, not a wizard. I thought it's a titan. It's a myth. I want to say mythbusters. It's a... A god. Greek mythology. That's what it's based on.

He's a myth. But he's like a myth bustle. He's a... You're a myth. You're a myth. No, he's like, he's like, persecutter. He's like, he finds out.

It's really... I need to reread the book. I don't know what I'm talking about. But I'm like curious. He could come out. He's going to be probably the most gorgeous. I keep saying he, this person is going to be the most gorgeous person. And she's not even pregnant.

What am I doing right now? Wait, you're telling me Alexander Dadaria's future kid is going to be the future Percy Jackson. I think I lost you somewhere. No, he's going to have superpowers because he's going to be so cute, hot, good looking. And I keep saying he, can we move on? Yeah, sure. Who is this person? Andrew Form is a film producer.

Oh, he's a producer. And he's with, he co-founded Platinum Dunes with Michael Bay and Brad Fuller. I know Brad Fuller's son. Shout out to Cameron Fuller. Question. What exactly does a producer do? They help like...

Produce it. Make everything happen. So what's the difference? They're not like directing and calling the shots. They're just like we need these people to do... They're almost like the castor, like casting director, but for the entire production of the movie. So then what does the casting director do? They cast the actors in the movie.

Then what does the producer do? He helped produce... You know, like you produce... A producer is basically the person responsible for finding and launching a project. Well, yeah. So anyone can They arrange the financing They are like the

Yeah they cast the team So if you donate money to a film You're a producer You're an executive producer You're an executive producer No offense Zendea is an executive No not everyone can be

You can be an executive producer That's pretty easy You just give money But that seems executive producer Feels like it should be harder To be than a regular producer Zendaya is an executive Don't you think

Executive Just the name and title Right I'm pretty sure There's a whole film crew here I think executive producer is like you give money and you get the title of executive producer. Producer, you're doing a lot more work of arranging the team. What do I know?

Well, basically like an executive producer requires screenplays for the development. So they pitch ideas to the TV commissioners and they deal with illegal financial marketing aspects of the TV series or movie series. So not really at all. Oh, sorry. Well, I gave money to a film production and I became an executive producer on it because I gave money. What film did you help executive? It was a short film. It was a short film, but it was with Tony Revely.

Tony Revely. From Grand Budapest Hotel, the lobby boy. And Isabel Furman. And Isabel Furman. The girl in the orphan. So it was a show production. Wow. That's really cool, Matt.

That is very cool. We did not get into Sundance, but. Oh, that's okay. Next time. I've never been to, and I haven't been elected to Sundance either, so it's really not that big of it deal. Mm-mm. You know, I got asked to invest in Harry Potter and the

cursed child for like Vancouver or Toronto. What do you mean? A guy asked me to write a check for $50,000. He's putting it on in like Toronto and asked me to give money to like invest in the production. And I was like, why are you asking me? That's my way. I'll give them whatever they want. I would have taken a mortgage out on my home.

Yeah, for sure. I mean, I don't have it, but yeah. I just hope it's a hit in Toronto. I think it will be. Everything is. I feel like everything that happens in Canada just trickle down effect like makes. it way better. Drake, Justin Bieber, Sean Mendez.

Cody Co. Cody Co. How could we forget? Nathan Fielder. Yep. Yes, so true now that you mention it. Never mind. We have this link about Taylor Lautner's wife. Did you guys already talk about this? Well, no, we didn't talk about this, but I saw this this morning and it shocked me to my core. Yeah. Pull up this video, guys.

What is the video? You'll see. Can you preface it? No, I think you just go blind. Do you know who Taylor Lautner is? Yeah. Well, just read. She's saying, okay, this was my crush that I grew up with. And I'm paraphrasing because I'm not wearing my... So it's show us your cross versus the person you ended up with. Okay.

She's showing her childhood crush. And that's going to go ahead and be Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen. Okay. Okay. Who could blame her. And now that's Taylor Lawtoner. Get out. Wait.

And her name's Taylor? Yeah, so Taylor Lottner's married to a woman named Taylor. That's her. Her crush... So both are their names are Taylor and Taylor Lottner. Could you do that? I don't know if she changed her last name to Lautner, though. That's something to look into.

But can you imagine growing up having an insane crush on Edward and then marrying the guy who plays Jacob? Well, it seems like you're a big fan and you would take anything like you could get to get just close to it. Me? Like, yeah, like, she couldn't get Robert Pattinson and like Taylor Lawton hit on her and you'd say yes. No, I wouldn't. No? A bullshit, bro. No.

No, I would not. You would say no to Taylor Lautner. Come on. Like, if he hit on you, you would eventually meet Robert Pattinson. Robert Pattinson would probably show up. I doubt they talk. I don't believe that for a second. It's so hard when you're so ingrained in the Twilight community, as one is, as I am.

This spider monkey or... Yeah, my Spider Monkey sweater. I read Twilight all the way up until, like, halfway through New Moon. like all the girls that I really liked read Twilight and I thought it would be a great way to connect with them. Yeah, well it's an incredible franchise and incredible saga and I just am so fiercely, Team Edward that I don't think I could do that. Okay. Like just like from a principal standpoint. But do you think that's, but because some people have done this TikTok trend what she was doing is like show who your child crushes and who you ended up with. And most of the

time it's someone who looks like that person. Exactly. This was a different take. Okay. Yeah. Do you think that is true, though? Do you think sometimes people end up with, like, people who look like their childhood crushes? Yeah, I do. Yeah. I think that's true. I think people also end up with people that look like their parents. Yeah, fine, it kind of.

And also, I think almost all married people look alike that I've seen recently. They look alike. Like, no offense, you and Patricia look like twins. We do. We are that siblings are dating kind of. Yeah. Like, there's a reason siblings are dating is so popular. Also, I think I could also be just getting confused because,

Once couples have kids, you see both of the parents in the kid. So then you start to think, okay, the parents look alike. But really you're just thinking I've seen a morph of them. So I'm thinking they look alike because I've seen the product of two of them morph together. Kind of. Do you ever, like, hope that your kid looks like one of like your aunts or your uncles, but not like your parents? Yes. You know?

I hope that my kids don't look like my sister. Yeah. Yeah. I do hope that. I don't really have that much to say about the topic. Honestly. Who was your childhood crush? Who?

Sexual awakening. I mean, sexual awakening. It's always like animated characters, so I'd rather not dive into that. It's too fun. Really? It's okay. It's not off limits.

Really? What animated? The Lioness from Lion King. That's a big one. Nala? Nala. Yeah. You are not alone, honey.

It's really freaky to say it. It's weird to say. You're not alone. And then a goofy movie. Yes. That's a huge. Yes, Roxanne. Roxanne.

Roxanne. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, like. They knew what they were doing when they made Roxanne. Yeah. Yeah.

But she wasn't, but she wasn't attracted to what her dad looked like because Roxanne's dad and Goofy movie is huge. Remember he's just like, she's like, daddy. Like, remember he like greets him on the front porch?

Yeah, I guess it doesn't apply to everyone. Rocks Day, you know that scene? I can't tell if Goofy movie, like did Gladiator steal inspiration from the goofy movie? You know the scene where they're like in the wheat and like you know the scene in Gladiator where he's like just trying to get back home This wife and his kids are in the wheat and he's trying to get to it In the Goofy movie there's this scene where she's standing in the wheat and he sees the back of her You know that's probably based off of gladiator if what you're telling no no other way around

Gladiator came out in 1999 Goofy movie came out 96 So you're saying gladiators based off of the goofy movie at least just stole some cinematography that's a lot to that We have to do. Oh my God. You should actually, Matt, make a TikTok or whatever. Have you? No.

Then you should. I feel like I have, 1995. Then you should. That's something important that you need to point out. Came out in Cinco de Mayo. Oh, that's incredible news. There's no way. Yeah, you should point that out.

The similarities with the goofy movie and Gladiore, that's a thesis waiting to happen. I'm on it. I am on it. I was going to say, oh, yeah, my celebrity obsession started really, really early at around age three with the count. Here we go. I'm sorry. I have to.

The count. We were talking about it. It's related to the subject matter. The count? From Sesame Street. Oh, yeah, Count Dracula. No, the Count. But he's a Dracula.

Right? He's like a... Count. Isn't Dracula one man? Count Dracula. That's his name. No, he's Count Von Count. Count von Count.

He's not Dracula. What kind of name is that? He has fangs. Isn't Dracula the name? Dracula's not another word from the empire. He was Count Dracula. Isn't it weird? Isn't his name is Dracula?

That this is a play. that this is a play on the fact that they call any vampires count Dracula because it counts numbers. But you know what I hate, he only has four fingers. If you're teaching kids to count, give him five fingers. Oh my God. He can't even count to ten with all hands and he

and he needs to count. I'm embarrassed to say I didn't know that about him. I just saw that. He's like, I just he count to ten. But that was my first experience of being like a full groupie. It was at Sesame Street on ice. I tried to throw myself on the rink.

for the count. Did you ever get called up on stage to volunteer for anything? At the Renaissance Fair, I helped a guy shove a knife down his throat. What? Yeah. That was one of the best days in my life.

Truly. She's funny. For a girl. She's funny. Thanks, Matt. That's a really nice thing to say. Sometimes I watch some clips of this of this podcast and you are like saying something so funny

and Conner's in here going. A lot of people say it. A lot of people say it. Well, a lot of people come on. me and say they say Connor never laughs at anything

Brooks says I don't laugh at anything well I know your brain I know you're thinking of something really funny I think well a lot of times I'll be like no that was really funny and in movies I'm like that was really funny that was my favorite part but I'm not like I wish I had a Cody Coe Britney Britsky laugh like I don't

because it would actually amplify our podcast a lot of it right right do a Cody Do a Cody Co laugh. What's Cody Coe's laugh like? That's pretty good. That's pretty good. That's like the intro to our show, actually.

Do Noel. I can't. I don't really know. What is his laugh? Sometimes when he's like really tickled. I can't remember it. It's okay. I'm not a good laugh for either.

I should try out some new laugh. But what did I say that was funny now that you mention it? What else do you like about me? He was going to shove a knife down. It was the best day of your life at the Renaissance. Oh, yeah. I just felt like every, all, lives were on me just that was just a good day I felt like you liked that so at what turning point

because she won't she's oh yeah I don't get on stage anymore she's nervous about getting on stage now ever I can tell you exactly what happened it was really weird I loved being on stage growing up I was in all the plays it was my favorite thing in the world and then I was in 10th grade and I was giving a presentation on crystal knot which is like a riot that happened during the Holocaust that's not funny and and I was giving a presentation and all of a sudden I just looked out. You want to laugh?

Okay, I'm telling a very serious story about my trauma. I think Goddard was just like trying to like get a laugh. I'm just working on myself over here. Tell us about the Holocaust. I'm so sorry. No, it's completely. Sorry that I killed the vibe. It's completely fine.

Go back to the Holocaust. Yeah. And I actually do want to take a sip of this. Matt, what do you want to talk about? And I was giving a presentation. and then I just, I don't know what happened. I looked out and I was like, oh my God, like, I can't continue talking and I didn't.

And I was just like, I just said, like, to my history teacher, I was like, I'm going to stop now. And I just never, and then after that, I had to tell all my teachers like, please, like, can I write a paper instead of giving a presentation? And then I could do it again in college and it was fine, but, like, I'm still very, like, I don't know. It's just like immediate, like, I freeze.

You've always said you have that conditioned. Maybe you need to recondition, response. Pavlov for yourself. Yeah, it sucks because, like, rationally, like, I can think rationally. Like, okay, you're fine. Like, what's the worst it could happen? Whatever. And I just, like, it's like, I freeze.

Just take some beta blockers. I've tried, but they like make me fall asleep. So it's like when I need to, like, be active and... And is it even worse if the people who are in the audience are there to see you? Yes. They are rooting for you. They love you. Yeah. That's so much worse because there's pressure on it.

There's no pressure on it, actually. It's the opposite. It's just excited to see you. No, it's a... opposite of white. You know that saying picture, picture everybody naked? Yes. Could you imagine you're like,

look at 100 naked people, I'd be like, what the fucker? Why are you guys an old naked? Why am I not naked? You guys have a group text and no one told me to be naked here? Like, there would be so much more going on in my head that isn't like,

hi, I'd like to talk about Abraham Lincoln. I'd like to do my presentation on electricity and Benjamin Franklin. Why is everyone naked? It would just be really distracted. Right. So that wouldn't help you either? No, it wouldn't help me.

Would it help? I don't know what I don't... If everyone there hated you? That would be better. Or I just try to picture that like, maybe. They are as nervous as you are. Like, they have,

they are battling all of their own anxieties and insecurities just as much as you are. Maybe even, like, put it in your brain where it's like they're struggling more than you are. One time I went to go see... How to Succeed in Business on Broadway. I was in that musical. In high school? Yeah, I was Bud Frump. I wish I had gone and seen you.

I play at the company way. I went to go see Darren Chris on Broadway because I was so obsessed with him and I got so nervous. I got such stage fright on behalf of him because I was so nervous for him to go on that I walked out, couldn't see the show. Stop! No, I like, I don't know. I got so nervous for him. I was like if he messes up at the end of my life. My mom, my grandma. And you made them leave the show because of how nervous you were? Brooke. What? I know, but you're working on it. You're seeing a therapist, all of that. I'm happy for you. Thanks so much. That's really sweet. theater guy if I can't take my coffee break

something within me dies well you didn't even see it so you could know any of this well no we went back the next day yeah and I was able to see it what matters is when you get knocked down you get back up and you try again that's super super super

so I was able to see Darren Chris and I have succeed in business the second time around yeah and he did amazing I bet he did yeah did you guys have knitting club last night we sure did how to go I'm hitting a great stride with my baby blanket. It is looking so good.

It looks so good. And you did something by accident to your blanket? Did you bring it? I brought it. You did something by accident that I'm wishing I knew how to replicate. I know, I know. And I wish you knew what it was that you did. This is looking so good.

It's so good, Matt. I'm so proud of you. Well, you saved it. Channing, our friend, messed it up and I was, you know, I lost time. I wasn't able to do it for weeks. Right. But this is the baby blanket. Here I can.

Oh, thank you, Brooke. Thank you. Yeah, of course. this. It's really good, Matt. That's really good. At the beginning, I don't know what he did there, but it's pretty cool. Yeah, so I need to figure that out for the ending.

Right, so you can replicate it at the end. But gosh, I couldn't thank you enough, Brooke. Oh, it is. Like, all I want in the world is for people to love knitting as much as I love knitting. We're starting a movement. I bet there is a peak in people who are Googling how to knit. Because doesn't Google Analytics have that? It'll search it.

Since she's been putting out those TikToks, I feel like there has been a surge. I wonder. There for sure has. Well, people love you. in it because you can just tell how your passion and excitement for knitting jumps out of the screen. It shines. I want to wrap this up because I want to start something new because I feel like I'm What do you think you'll make next? I have a question about the baby blanket really quick before we move on from the baby. Is it a baby blanket because it's so small or is it a baby because you're going to give it to a baby? I'm giving it to a baby. That's so cool. Patricia's my girlfriend's brother and his wife are having a baby. That is so sexy. Yeah. Thanks man. Not the baby but like that. It's very cool. You could get into knitting. I I think you could.

No, he couldn't. No. Why not? He doesn't have the patience. It requires an immense amount of patience and focus. I will say yesterday I went to get my ear pierce in an event, and this girl was talking to me and Sally are about knitting, and she was like, yeah, I really want to get into knitting, because it seems like one of those things, you don't need to be talented to do it.

You could just do it. And me and Sally Dar, you could tell, like, we were both like, okay. Uh-huh, uh-huh. We were like, yes, totally. That's so true. Yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. But then we both laughed and we were like, fuck that.

Well, I mean, like, you are kind of following, like, playing devil's advocate, you're following. There is natural, God-given skill and talent. Like, some people are better than others. But, like, the same could be said about painting. Like, some people are good at painting and some people. You can't learn to paint. You're saying you can learn. You could learn how to color in a coloring book and, like, follow a thing.

But, like, you can learn to knit. You're not going to be, you're not going to excel if you don't have natural skill. Can I say, I'm weirded out when adults, like, use coloring books. Really? Sometimes. I'm like, come on. I think it's really therapeutic. I guess so.

Like, I'd rather knit, but. But it's just like, you just colored a page. Yeah. Like, I don't know, actually I'll respect to people who color. With knitting. No, I'm on your side. I just think. Shame on you.

I feel like anyone can learn to knit, but the stitches are kind of like handwriting in the sense that like, like the letters like are either look good or they don't. Like people just like it takes. But you feel like you've gotten better. Yes, I've definitely gotten better. With time. Like I used to only be able to knit a scarf. Yeah, right. Right. And now...

And I've gotten better, too. I can knit and purl. I think that the God-given piece is that you have the drive, the passion, the focus. No, I genuinely think that some people's stitches are just better than others, just in terms of their tension and the tightness, etc. You could probably learn to... You're so good. Yours is so good, Matt. Thanks, bro.

I really would not just say that I'm really truly proud of you. I hope you... I mean, not that I... I mean, it's so good. Not that I'm like the authority of knitting, but... Ooh, I just pulled a muscle my arm. Can we react to something? Yeah.

Well, we can do... You can, I'm gonna offer you, I'm gonna offer you, I have two, I have three options for you. Okay. Okay. And you can tell me which is the most pleasing to you. One, you can go through our hinge profiles because you've given me help in the past on my hinge profile. And I've since updated it and that's something we can do it again. Two, we have a food item.

That could be quick so we could do that in addition. Let's do the food item in addition to either hinge or we have a video that's more so like Brooks Corner, something that I'm, passionate about that I want to show you guys to react to. So it's really, we'll do the- Let's do the food and then I'll see how I'll see how I feel. That sounds good, man. Okay, stand by. All right.

Are you having fun? Can I pee really quick? Okay, so, just like some background on this. This was not a weird food suggestion that we have. And there was one person that slid in the DMs and said, stop doing it. That really affected you. You guys are pretty annoying when you try new food. That's not what they said.

Oh, that's how I took it. What she said? She was just like, love you guys. Like, it might be time to stop. Yeah, to me, I heard kill yourself. Yeah, I know. So to you, I say, today we're going to be trying an interesting food. I kind of went on a little bit of a health kick because my friend's mom is like OG health nut.

My mom is too, but this woman is just like can spit out facts about everything in one year out the other. me, but I did get all the stuff that she said. So purple sweet potatoes apparently really good for you. Oh, I've heard that. I figured out how to make them in the air fryer. Very easy if anybody wants that. You just get them raw, kind of whatever. That was really good for you. Kiwi's are really good for you. I have a Kiwi every day now. Green apples. And something interesting has transpired. What is it? She said squid ink. What? Have you ever had squid ink pasta? I have. I'm sure that's not what she meant in terms of the health. But it's really good. But when I'm saying that she told me everything good about it, I forgot.

So I'm going to say, so Squid Ink has antimicrobial properties. Totally love that. Anti-cancer effects, maybe. Broad. Boost your immunity, sure. That's good. Reduce hypertension or high blood pressure have effects against retroviruses, and it may treat ulcers. So all those things.

All that is like it may, can, can, may make. Possibly. I'm waiting for the, like, we're going to do this and, like, 30 seconds, our faces are going to turn blue. Where are they stressing out these... Oh, it's on WebMD, so take that out of the greenhouse salt.

I bet the next line is like will cause cancer in 30 seconds. But where is this squid factory where they're stressing these squids out and extracting the ink? On SpongeBob, that episode of SpongeBob. You're thinking of jellyfish. Oh, yeah.

La la la. That kind of thing that happens when, like, Pluto has a pet dog and, like, SpongeBob can hunt jellyfish. It's like, those are Animals, too. Why didn't you personify them? Spongeb's a sponge.

Those are alive. Yeah, but the jellyfish are like butterflies, though, right? Oh my God, I literally just at this moment realized Spongebob is probably a sea sponge and not a kitchen sink sponge. Well, when he's on land, he's a kitchen sink sponge. Yeah, but I guess when he's in the sea is a sea sponge, huh? He's part of the pollution. Yeah. He lives in a pineapple under the sea and he's a sponge.

Right. So, like, deductive reasoning. Right. Well, Sandy's a squirrel and she lives in the sea. She's in a tank. She's in a tank. And technically, if you think about it, she's like in outer space. And Squidward's the squid.

Yeah. Squidward's a squid. When you think about it, technically, how is she in outer space? Because she's wearing a suit. Right. Squidward never inks, though, on the show, right? I haven't seen the word of me. That would have been a weird episode of Squidward was just like inking all over the place.

I've actually seen some of those, like, fan fiction things. It's really foul. Are we about to try the ink, though? We're going to try the ink. I brought some. So I, this, by the way, if you're watching on YouTube, this is the episode of Spungebob where, uh, Mr. Crabs is exploiting, for capitalism reasons,

all of the jellyfish and SpongeBob finds out, and it's just tragic, but he saves all of them. I feel like you and Mr. Crabs would get along really well. We're not talking about this or this. We're talking about this. Yeah, I see myself in him, but I also see myself in, I guess it's just him, really. Yeah.

I have my first dollar I made. framed in my house. You do. I love it. It's cool. Anyways, okay, so I brought, this is, I got this on Amazon. It's Cuddlefish, Inc.

Can I ask what a Cuddlefish is? You don't know what a Cuddlefish is? It's a type of squid. Oh, okay. You can see it on here. Like changes colors. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Cuddlefishes are the coolest things at, like, an aquarium

when you ever go up to a Cuddlefish tank. These fascinate me because apparently squids are like some of the smartest creatures on. Oh, yeah. So. Did you see my octopus teacher? No. Very weird because I was thinking kind of are you like hot? Are you like attracted to this?

Watch it. It's like very strange. Also, I'm going to get you a book that I want you to read. I really don't want to talk about it because we're getting into like bestiality territory here. But there's a book called. The dolphin one. You've told me about this before. I have.

It's a paperback on Amazon. It's called Wet Goddess. Go on. Well, basically... This is not the first time you told me about what goddess. I'm really fascinated by where our heads were at in the 40s and 50s besides World War II, of course.

But there was a lot of experiments happening. Here it is on screen if you're watching on YouTube. The Wet Goddess Paperback was published in 2009. It's $20. It's a tell-all, basically, from this woman who was part of an experiment, and I'm mincing words. So I'm not 100%. She was part of an experiment where it's set at the height of the Vietnam protests

Jimmy Hendricks LSD The story of strange encounters Awkward Misadventures and ultimately love And the love that you're going to hear about Is between a human woman and a dolphin And basically the U.S. government was seeing If they could use dolphins Because they were pretty smart obviously

Dolphins are smart To work as like spies against Our enemies And so they put and they were seeing If they could teach dolphins a language The human language So they had this girl live in a house that was, I think, like, up to her waist or something in water,

and the dolphin in her, it was just them for like 45 days or something. They ended up fucking, naturally. She fucked the dolphin? They were having sexual relations, is my understanding. And get this, this is really, it's so tragic. This is like a modern love story. Is they ended up, like the experiments over, they were like, no, like, it didn't happen. The wet goddess is the woman.

Wet goddess moves on, naturally, as people, do. Dolphin goes into an enclosure and kills itself. Wow. Because it was in love with the woman. Wow. So she writes her love story. I'm going to say it's very strange.

Did you read this whole thing? Did she? They were actually having sex. I have seen a video on the internet of someone giving a dolphin blowjob. Never mind. It's a dark side of the internet. I was going to ask. what site?

I don't, it was on Reddit, and it was like a GIF, and it was just one of those like, I don't know. I can't remember. Can we try the ink? Yeah, yes. Do we try the ink? Okay.

I don't even. So, yeah, put that in. So, uh, it is. I didn't Google it. I didn't Google it. It wasn't your fault. I'm pretty sure I've said weird stuff. Okay, so servings, there's about 11

servings in here. So serving size is one teaspoon. Um, we didn't really know what to do, so we're just going to dip a chip in it. Okay. I didn't look up any ways that you can need it and I don't want to now because we're going to eat it with a chip. These are, here you might want that as a chaser actually.

Water bottle. Should we Google how you're supposed to eat sweat ink or just go in complete? Because we don't really have that option. I know we don't have that option, but I think it could be interesting to know how we're supposed to eat it versus how we are eating. Yeah, it's supposed to be impasta. It's supposed to be impasta. If you want to see it, it's got the consistency of ink.

It looks like kind of like a can of begemite. Oh my, my God. What? I don't smell it. That is fishy. That is like... I can't participate today. Oh, I'm doing it.

Holy shh. Don't smell it anymore. How are you doing that? No, that is foul. I wasn't really expecting it to have a scent. So it smells like if you... Like a Ford fish market. Like found a fish in your car after like a week.

Holy smoke. Stop doing it. I don't know. It smells like, I don't know. Do you feel high? I don't know. It's like I'm abroad. I don't know.

Oh, you like it? Yeah, there's something, I don't know, kind of. Kind of endearing about. Yeah, I don't know. It's so bad, it's kind of good. Go ahead, you too. I can't even get the damn shit. Nothing like getting my day started with.

Oh, you're going in. Whoa, that is dark. It really, oh, my. I don't even know if I want to do that much. I really appreciate you knowing right off the bat. I'm not going to do it. Not even trying to convince me. To us.

To you guys. Not that bad. Oh. I don't like that. I don't like that. Have another chip. It tastes as. Connor, have a few chips.

When does this expire? When did you get this? I don't think it's expiry date is the issue. I don't. Yeah. Put your job back on it. Oh, well, expires some. 2025.

Yeah. Yeah. The preservatives in there. How was it, Kahn? So, it was really good. Are you going to have more? Won't just. Matt's going in for seconds.

Wow. You two are brave. That is not good. Yeah, no, I didn't think it would be. But it was, but it's fun. But it is really. I'm having fun though. I'm so glad you're such a good sport.

It is really good in pasta. Well, it's not. It's just like cooked in the sauce. They make the noodles with the... Yeah, I don't... I'm sure they... You didn't really have any visceral reaction there. I think he likes it.

Are you a big fish fan? Yeah, I like fish. I mean, I like anchovies too. Oh. I pop in anchovies sometimes. Really? A few times a week by myself. It's like my like little weird midnight snack.

I eat locks plain, but I don't think that's as severe as... I think salmon is very different from what I just experienced. Yeah. Oh. I'm just trying. trying to shake off like the taste. Have another chip, just plain. The chip help.

The chip help. You dipped your second chip back into the ink. The chip did help. Yeah. Now, if we would have done that with like an unsalted chip, we would have had to call a show pretty much immediately because I would have threw up all over the. I thought you were going to. I almost threw up before I put it in my mouth.

Yeah. Don't do that because it's making me sick. I know, but like I can't throw up. Really? I throw up once a year maybe. Oh. Like, you know, rarely. Oh, my God.

You're lucky. I don't think I've thrown up in like two years, maybe. Um, oh, wow. Well? No, it's bad. It's bad. But it's fun, though. I don't know.

It's like, it's a fun little party thing. He's poor cuttlefish, though. I don't know how they get this ink out onto them. That's a lot of ink. How many cuttlefish did it take just to fill this bottle? How much was it? Well, it kind of tastes like they may have already been dead when they got it. Oh, my God.

Speaking of Squids, I'm actually on Mariana Trench talk. Oh. In terms of just like being. I'm on that too. I would rather go into space for a year than be in the Mariana Trench for an hour. You know, I've been to the Mariana Trench like nine times. There's no way. It's so hard to get to the Mariana Trench.

You've been over it. You haven't been in the Mariana Trench. There's no way you've been in the Mariana Trench. No, I can't. Shep Brooke. I lived in Guam for years. My dad was in the military. Yeah, but you don't just go into the Mariana Trench.

You can take a glass boat. Into the Mariana Trench? Over. Not, no, yeah. Yeah. I haven't been into the Mariana's trench. You said that. How am I to know?

Okay. That is so deep. Isn't that like eight miles deep? Mariana trench? Man, shout out to Mariana. Imagine getting a trench named after you. Is Mariana a person? She has to be.

It's called Mariana. Or if that's like Marina. No, it's Mariana. No, it's Mariana. It's Mariana. That just looks like the scariest place on earth. And that's where the big giant squid are.

Yes. Which is really a fascinating species. I love. The Mariana Trench. Mariana Trench. That's pretty, yeah. I've had one experience. I'm recently scared of heights.

I told you that. You're recently scared. Yeah. Like, I'm just very aware. But I had one time when I was in Bali and I was snorkeling and the water there is so clear that like we went off of a shelf. And, you know, like a shelf. There was like a reef.

And then there is a channel for boats together. And I kind of went out and I could see the bottom, but I was so high up and the water's so clear that I felt like, when you had stomach dropped, like feeling how I was going to fall and hit the ground. Oh, that's really scary. I'm scared of looking up at heights. Whoa.

Like when you're, like, you look up at, like, a tall building, it makes me want to, like, fall backwards. That's kind of freaky. Yeah. There's a lot of freaky stuff. When I was a kid, I would go to Sam's Club, and, like, I hated looking at the ceiling. I like Sam's Club and Costco.

That's crazy. It was really high. It's a very, that's a very, uh, specific. It's an experience. Yeah, really. But I'm feeling it. Like, it's making me feel a little queasy. It could be the squitting.

I'm also scared of heights. That goes without saying I'm scared of everything. I assume so. Yeah. I was just going to say really quick. Okay. Brooke told me last episode we were talking about the summer I turned pretty. Did you watch any of us?

No, I didn't. I watched the finale with Brooke. Well, I was knitting and she was just crying away. I'm like, what's happening? I wasn't even crying. that bad. Oh, you were sniffled. It was a little, I was a little teary, whereas the most of the reactions are people sobbing.

I felt bad because I thought, like, I was, like, ruining the ending. I thought this was just one episode. No. And then you're like, that was the finale. Yeah. Well, I'm watching it. I, no, I think it's a little, I did, I enjoyed it in the sense that it was entertaining, but I do think it's overrated, to be honest.

I, um, as an actor, that's never gotten a role, I know how Ryan, how things should be written and read I got eight minutes in and went back to prehistoric planet. Those dinosaurs and Love Island, those are the two shows I'm watching because they're real. They're raw. And that show was

so painful. Everything was like whoa, you've really changed since last summer. Me? Conrad, are you drunk? Mom's going to kill us. I'm like, Conrad is 17. He should be chugging a forlope.

He should be fucked up, and he should fall asleep on the beach. It's just like, I don't know who it was written for, and I don't like shows that cosplay being poor, because, like, I don't know. Like, that wasn't representative of a single summer of mine. Maybe there's a community of people that can relate to going out to a gorgeous, like, billionaire. It felt like if, it felt like if Outer Banks was written by, like someone

on Wap pad No not even Like less than that Like it felt like if Outer Banks was written by a Mormon Oh Like it was very vanilla The first eight minutes

I'm sorry You missed the part It was like so vanilla And then all of a sudden The mom's having sex with someone in the car It was like very random Wait hot Yeah you should keep watching

I think you'd really like that part I just like the title The summer I turned pretty I was saying to Connor I'm still fingers crossed For this summer for me Well I was about to ask you Like did you have a summer

when you were younger where you turned like very pretty? I got really fat one summer. I wore a swimming cap in the pool every summer until I was like too old to be wearing a swimming cap in the hot tub. I'm going to rewrite this show and call it the summer I went on one Royal Caribbean Cruise and finished 75 soft serve ice cream cones that got fat. Yeah. They were free.

I encourage you. My parents are like, do you really want another one? I was like, yes. I was like 11 probably gained like 45 pounds Speaking of Wattpad though They're implementing

Like some sort of creator fund for Wattpad Where you can make a lot of money off of writing fan fiction We talked about this yesterday And about how like a lot of like Fiverr writers Sarah Shower was saying Will not accept money Wattpad plans to pay out a total of 2.6 million to writers in 2020 Through its creators program

So I know You're the only person I've ever read my fan fiction too I've read it What? I read him my fan fiction. The Matthew Gray Googler one. Can I even say that? Yeah, that's fine.

People know that that exists. Well, the thing about the manifestation on this set is that I talked about reading you that podcast and then the next day I met Matthew with you. I can't believe it. Yeah. I know. I mean, you guys have talked about that along here. But Brooke was the first person I texted right when I saw Matthew Gray Googler. Well, Brooke, this is huge.

Wapad. You can be making some serious money. But how are they just going to be, do people now have to start pay to read things on WAPE? had though? Like where does this? No, I think that to me, same way as TikTok, probably. They just like have the fun. Oh, wow. To me, this always feels like a cry for help for a website. Like, they really need

to incentivize writers to submit pieces. Also, like, I was watching something on TikTok, I think this girl was like, you can make a side hustle out of writing for medium. Oh. Yeah, you can. Yeah. I think it's really, I think it's harder than it is being portrayed

though. Are you a good writer? The company's WAPT creator programs plans to pay out a total of $2.6 million to writers in 2022. To be eligible, the writers must have published in a new story part in the last three months, at least one completed novel length, sorry, 50,000 words are more in their catalog. I could do it. At least one in an eligible genre and reached a minimum number of engaged readers as base in Wapad's story statistics resource. Interesting.

I'm going to start doing that at Knitting Club. Have you ever read a fan fiction? Yeah. I read some fan fictions. What about a dolphin and a person? I've read Blog Squad fan fictions when I heard they existed and I was so excited. Are you in them? Yes, but I'm never like the love interest.

Like nothing happens to me. It's like Matt then texted David. Like, can't wait for the party tonight, dude. Like, it's just, that's my role in it. I'm just a supporting character. No one has ever written one about me. But, um, well. I'm kind of annoyed that we haven't gotten any written about us.

And I feel like I'm opening a can of worm. We're in the manifestation room. Well, it's not that I want one. It's just that I don't know why there hasn't been one. Well, keep in mind, this has been shown to ruin a lot of duos. I don't think it would ruin us. I think it could only make us stronger. Matt, I'm curious.

I want to ask you something. Shoot. I've seen you around a lot of famous people. I'm just curious. Who's, like, the most famous person that I've ever met? Yeah. Or like that you, like, have a... Oh, I met Paul McCartney one time.

That was kind of cool. We have the same birthday. I met him in Lorne Michael. both of their hands. What? One moment. That was one where I was like, wow. That's an awesome.

Pleasure to meet you guys. Yeah. That was very cool. Wait, what was the scenario there? Bruce Springsteen, I did a crossword puzzle with Bruce Springsteen one time. That was pretty cool. How did that come about? Oh, just my former life and the people that I knew through all of that.

Uh-huh. Yeah. I don't need to. You can Google it and figure out how those moments happened, but I'm not going to like share it out. Wow. That's insane. But those are like some just wild times hanging out with those people. Yeah.

That would say that would be the most famous person. Maybe Paul McCartney. Yeah. I mean, that is probably the most famous person. Daniel Day Lewis, too. I went to Italy with. Oh my God. It was a wild trip.

Yeah. That's insane, Matt. It's a different time. I never really have been that public about like that stuff. That was like one of my big questions because I've seen you like meet people and I'm like, what the fuck? How did you? Well, you know what? I think.

You're also so good with people. Like you don't get, you don't panic when you are with somebody that's super famous. You go up and you're just like somebody That kind of person would want to engage with Kind of but I still kind of like I get nervous Connor though I think you're really good at like You charm but you charm people really fast

Like the whole Matthew Gray Goobler thing How you went up and you kept the conversation going But it grew up I kept him in the conversation But Connor like made like a moment Sure like it was funny and he was like Oh I vibe with you guys Yeah

Well Patricia brought me a safety pen and we hooked his button back on his blazer. That was just like very lucky. But it's like an escape room. Like you have to figure out how to make them talk to you and like want to respond and not just like, can I get a picture? Didn't figure it out with Ashton Coucher.

Did not figure it out. He was like, get that. Like if his lawyers would have been there, I would probably be behind bars. Right. It's a learning curve. We have to wrap up. We could talk for hours.
