You're thirsty for the sun on your shoulders. That perfect hang on the patio sundress. Those sandals you can wear all day and all night.

And you've had enough of shopping from your couch. Done hoping it looks anything like the picture when you tear up on that envelope. It's time for a little in-person spring treat. It's time for a trip to Ross. Work your magic. I know you love me. I know you care. You ready?

Ready for what? Whoa. The gulpmeister is with us here in the studio today. Did I gulp? Yeah, you gulped. Oh my God, I had no idea. Yeah. I poured the water from the can into a bottle.

I already told you what I'm telling everyone else because I think that I'll... Are we recording? Lit. You know what I learned last week? Like, the answer will always be yes to are we recording. Oh, it will. Yeah. I thought you meant in general.

I was about saying, why we do that? No. What do you mean? The answer will always be yes. Because we're almost at like 100 episodes probably. Shut up. I don't know. Maybe 80 or something.

It feels like 15. This is 84. Every single time we've asked, are we recording, which we do every single time, the answer's never been no. Not once. It's never been, hold on, wait. Yeah. Let us get set up.

Yeah. They're always ready. Yeah. So, just something to think about. Is there something I can do moving forward? I guess we don't have to ask. It's kind of. like saying I have a question while raising your hand.

Right. Pointless. We know you have a question. Your hand is raised and you're asking it's kind of a double negative. But not in this case. Sometimes it's nice to just have confirmation and clarity in a professional setting. Yeah, it's kind of like Roger. What do you mean?

Like Roger that. What did they say at the end of walkie talkies? Copy. It's kind of like copy. Over. Over. It's kind of like over. Hang on.

Because we're just like confirming. Over? Who is Roger? Like Roger. Roger that. Copy. Who was Roger to begin with? We need to get to the bottom of this. Hey, Brooke. Hi, Connor. Are you ready to MAP? I'm ready to pee.

Ignorance is bliss. I'm living in a world of my own and it's awesome. Oh, I thought I was responsible for 9-11 when I was five. Where were you? In Pennsylvania. Touch grass, might I suggest. We're just going to dive right in today. Hey guys, welcome back to Brooke and Connor make a podcast. Today we're diving into some of society's deepest worries and questions. Who was Roger? Yeah, I don't know, Connor.

Where did he come from? Where did he go? Oh, there's your answer. Roger I. Joe. Phenetic. Roger was phonetic for R. Received and understood. Hmm.

That doesn't make sense. You know how when you're on the phone and you're like, you say your name, but for your last name and for clarification, you're like, oh, W as in water. O as in orange O as in octopus D as in dog It's kind of like that I think Is that what a phonetic is

I don't know I don't know what a phonetic is One time I was like She is in Connor O as an octopus N as in 9 like my favorite number It was like a bunch of stuff that was personal to me My brother was spelling his name once on the phone

And his mnemonic Is that what it's called? Wait, phonetic. His phonetic was so funny that I wrote it down. Oh, I have one saved too. Oh, my God. Let me see if I have it. Oh, I have one saved as well.

Okay, got it. I don't have mine. He was saying his confirmation code, which was ZBH, P-R-H for reference, and it was. It's not funny. That happens, but I'll tell you what any. C is in zebra, B as in boy, H is in hotel, P as in Peter, R as in something, and H is in a hotel. So he said, hey, it said R is in something, which could clearly make me laugh. R is in something.

Okay. How about R as in Roger? I found mine because I put it in my notes. G as in good morning, nine is in my favorite number. Q as in the last part of barbecue. Oh, that's good. It just doesn't make sense to anyone. Oh, let's read off.

This is what you're supposed to say. This is like, so my sister does phonetics, I guess this is the NATO phonetic alphabet. NATO is what? Your sister does it? Yeah. I mean, we could talk about this all day. I could talk about the NATO phonetic alphabet all day. NATO is the, isn't that a treaty?

Sure. I'm sure there's tons of treaties out there. I bet NATO is one of them. NATO at present, by the way, Brooke is 31 member countries. Yeah, that's what I thought. They're allies. Some kind of, yeah.

Wow, just when you start to think we're stupid. Just when you start to think we're stupid, we describe NATO. NATO comes along. We read the definition of NATO. Was there a knock at the door? Yeah, that's intelligence. Just knocked.

And we answered. By the way, what the hell is NATO? I didn't really get... Victor, V isn't Victor. I always do that on for Africa. Well, you know, there's this bar in Austin called WTF Bar. And I was always like...

No, it's called... Oh, shoot, I just buried the lead. It's called Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. And it sounds for... What the fuck? Bar. It's kind of funny. Do you remember the thing with Barry the Lead?

Couldn't tell you. That's not how you use it at all? Let's lay it to rest. Okay. Let's bury it. Let's bury that lead. That sounds good. Oh, my God.

Anyways, Roger that. Treaty. Oh. The Tia and NATO, treaty. North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Okay. Well, it is an organization at the end of the day, the NATO situation. Uh-huh.

We should have a NATO-esque situation here where we can call upon our treaty. Wait, before we go any further, is NATO good or bad? Awesome. Cool. Oh, I adore it. Fan of NATO. Fan of NATO here. Yep.

Hi. NATO expert over here. Good. They're good. Huge. We're NATO stands. Brooke and Connor. I adore NATO.

Brook and Connor. That's a good dog name. One of our bullet points in our description is NATO stands. BNC and ATO. That's really good, Connor. Who? Who's all in NATO? Yeah, what other podcasts are doing NATO? Wait, are these all our allies?

These are all our allies? It doesn't see it. 31 countries. Isn't there like a million countries? This is not enough. How many countries are there? I think it's in the- NATO.

I bet everyone else is like, oh no, NATO is coming. It's 31 countries. Let's see. Who's not in it? There's 50 states. I had no idea. Belarus wasn't in it. There's more states.

Belarus. That's Bella Hadid. No, Belarus is a country. Oh. Okay, so it's Canada. What are those little tiny? Anyone above Italy. Oh, okay.

Good thing. Iceland is a member of NATO. Like, what are, Iceland is just minding their own business as an island. So this is, for example, if we were to go to war, they would be on our side. Let's look at who's in it. Let me see who is really strong. Canada, United States.

Oh, I didn't know Mexico. Iceland, the UK, France. We're weak as shit. Is that Switzerland is not in it? Germany, Italy. Oh, no. I just went there. Switzerland isn't really doing.

Oh, because they're not. neutral to everything which is just like how come no one no one gets on switzerland ever that's like a friend in a fight that's like two best friends are fighting and they're like i'm not taking aside you're a bad person you just like don't like you just can't say anything about switzerland it's just like an unspoken rule it's just like i'm sorry wouldn't it be a bad thing to not fight for like that for what's right yeah except if it's switzerland but it's just we just have come to accept it that's one of those things oh well if you're complicit you're part of the problem i don't know what I don't know what wars are happening right now, so I'm also Switzerlanding over here in my chair.

But if I knew, I would stand. If you don't stand for something, you fall for everything, Switzerland. Okay. That's my message to Switzerland today. Do we have any Swiss listeners? If you stand for nothing, what do you fall for? Everything. Yeah.

If you don't stand for something. Guess where that quote's from. What? Hamilton. Oh, gorge. Well, it's not from that. Yeah, it is. If you don't stand.

No, no, no, no. In these exact words. If you stand for nothing, comma, burr, what do you fall for? That's from Hamilton. What, was he shivering? Was it cold? No, Aaron Burr. Oh.

B-U-R-R-R-R-R. Get this man a jacket. Yeah. So he can stand for something longer. Because Connor, Aaron Burr, was taking more of that hands-off political stance to kind of appease people around him, kind of like Switzerland. And it was an issue. It was an issue. Oh, it's a problem when I do it.

Well, he was kind of just flip-flopping on his views. Okay. Yeah, you should really see Hamilton. You'd like it. I will go see it. I love history. Oh, wait. What were we talking about? Before Switzerland. Oh, NATO. How did we get from? I poured the water in my cup.

Roger. Romeo. That's a good name. Yeah. Okay. Anyway. Yeah. Doesn't matter how we got here as long as we did. As long as we were here. Yeah. So, I missed you last week. Yeah, I'm back and better than ever.

You want to tell us about your trip? It looked so fun. Yeah, it was great to spend. I know I called in last week and I just talked about my family already. So we covered that. Eight days with my fam. It was awesome. It was super fun.

The weather was horrible. Couldn't have been worse for eight days altogether. And when you say worse, like rainy? Rainy cold. Isn't that kind of nice though? It would be nice. It would be nice. But I go there to swim.

Uh-huh. You know. So you don't want to swim when it's raining. It changes the hold vibe. What do you swim in? A lake. The great lakes. Wow.

I've never been to a great. They are great. Oh, wait. Is the lake in Chicago a great one? Which lake? The one of Chicago. I think it's a river. I think that's a river.

The Chicago River? No, you know that massive lake? The Lake of Chicago. I don't know what it is. Is that Lake Superior? It's like Michigan. I don't know. Oh, go figure.

The lake that's touching Illinois is named Lake Michigan. I've been in that. It's a nice. It's fresh. Yeah. What I like about it is it'll be so deep. You could jump in. Open your eyes. Swim around.

Oh, never in a million years would I open my eyes in a great lake. Not the one in Chicago. That's not fresh water. It's a lake. It's black. It's black. It's so dark. Were you swimming at night? No. It's not dark.

Can you look up the lake in Chicago? Hey. We're looking up the lake in Chicago. What lake were you? It's just the one that people run by. Ooh, yeah. You don't want to get involved a zebra muscle. Those are a scummy group of clams. It definitely is not like clear or any type of.

No, it is because it's the same lake. No, Connor, I promise, do you see that? Why is Michigan Lake so clear? Michigan Lake. Since there's less algae, the water is less green 20 years ago. Lake Michigan's color was driven by yes absorption due to the reduction of yes from the mussels invasion. Pure water scattering is now the dominant factor in the watercolor.

I don't know, Brooke. I'll choose to believe you. I'll choose to believe you. That's sweet of you. Where I was, it was clear. Almost Mediterranean level clear. I adore Mediterranean level clear. Oh my God.

I drove past. See, that's beautiful. You can't talk about the best Michigan lakes without mentioning Lake Michigan. Yeah. Which has joined Lake Huron as one of the state's clearest lakes. And Lake Huron is one of the five. Could you name all five? Like Huron, Lake Erie, Lake Superior, Lake Michigan.

Oh, man, I'm in a tight spot. Lake Erie, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake, like superior. There are another E? Come on. I don't know that part of the country. Come on. I'm so close.

Okay, I give up. Yeah. Ontario! I wouldn't have gotten that. It's touching Canada. Oh, wouldn't have gotten it. I knew there was one that was, well, I guess Iran is also, yeah. So I was all the way up there.

So I wasn't like in the contiguous United States because I had to go over a bridge. I was on a peninsula Maybe it is touching No it's not because I went over a bridge The Macanah Bridge Yeah I was up there So cool Above it

How was so cool With everything with um We talked about that in bonus I'll go over all of the What? With what? With who? Oh we did Yeah

Oh God Go subscribe to bonus If you want to hear you know what Go subscribe to close friends And I'll update everybody on redacted On redacted Yeah That's exciting

Yeah it was cool It was good time It's nice to go on trips where you have no phone service my my my screen time went up somehow by 10% probably because you're like trying like to connect you spent more time like trying to get service yeah than you would when you have service you know I'm addicted to my phone 100% I'm a phone tweaker yeah I could not like I can't even get in the shower without it or I'll get in the shower without it and then get out fully naked soap everywhere run into my

room to grab my phone and then get back in the shower with it you know what i do huh again i'm like this is really nice this is really nice right now like it's me i'm a part of the earth you know i'm just a human and then be like but i could spend this time like researching because i have to research for the podcast right now like why i'm in the shower without my phone i need it fully switch gears after 30 seconds of convincing myself that i'm healthy and i'm i'm i'm free without my cell phone and then I'm like, I could be working right now, and that's how they do. Look up NATO if not. How would we have known what NATO is?

No, we wouldn't have our phone in the shower. We would not know what NATO is if we did not have access to our phones 24 hours a day. Hell no, we won't go. Right. I'm still so shaken about how many countries in the world are there? Let's guess. 278. I was going to say 243.

I think it's probably 2030. Yeah. 270. Oh, 10095. That's what it seems like. Okay. Could you name them all? Not even known.

I couldn't name six. Yeah. I'll try to name the continents. Oh, yeah, do it. A.E. I owe you. Consonants. Fowles. I don't know.

Okay. Continants. Yeah. Sorry. I already messed it up. North America. South America. Antarctica.

Yes. Yeah. Australia. Yeah. Asia? Mm-hmm. That one. And then Europe.

Yeah. There's one more? Yeah. India. No, that's in Asia. Yeah, Africa. Is there 10? Because I named 10.

There's seven. So there's one that I mess up every time. One of those is not a continent. Or was that all of them? India's not a continent. India is not. But India is huge. Oh, it's massive.

It's massive. It's mass. Oh, yeah. It's huge. Okay. Well, that's our two. sense on continents. Okay, two things take away from

today. Sound off. Vibes? India. Huge, by the way. Guys, NATO stands Sound off in the comments. Let us hear you. Let us know if you want NATO merch.

Let us know more. If you're from a country that isn't part of NATO, let us know. Because we'll try, we'll put it in a good word. And if you are from a country that is part of NATO, awesome. Or not. Hey.

Hey, neighbor. And 100%. Hey. Yeah. Okay. So you had a good trip. Had a good trip. Yep.

Between the U.S. and Canada, two NATO members of the 32. I had an awesome time. I'm trying to think of something that I did. significance. I didn't do anything of significance. It was great though. It was super fun. Did you find any treasures? Yeah, I found a bunch of rocks. Oh, did you bring them home with you? Oh my effing goodness. I forgot to bring the one rock that I really wanted to bring on the podcast. Shoot. Happy Halloween, by the way. Yeah, facts. Yeah. I'm so excited. I'm not going to say until after Labor Day. It doesn't feel right. Okay. I'm going to start. I started observing. Labor Day is so,

to me, so summer. Labor Day is more fun to me than Fourth of July. I never know which one's Labor Day and which one's Memorial Day. Why would you? Oh, don't even bother. You don't either? No. You just said Labor Day was your favorite holiday, though. I like it better than Fourth of July.

Okay. Because I don't like any sort of holiday where it's like the date of it. Because that could be a Wednesday. Put it on a weekend. Oh, I understand. Make it a long weekend. Yeah. It's just a Monday.

They should do that with birthdays. Brooke. There should be 18, B, team birthdays. spring or hang on whatever split it in half first half of the year it gets birthday day no you should have your birthday should be my birthday june 19th my birthday should be the weekend the weekend of june 18th your should be the weekend of 9-11 like that's when we should celebrate never forget on the weekend no my birthday you won't and guess what we won't and you can't and you can't i always feel so bad because people are like when's my birthday i'm like i don't know and then they're like yours is 9-11 i'm like that's a layup

okay yeah do you have any not complaining do you have um like do you share a birthday with any like

influential people what you bet your damn ass I share my birthday with an influential person just the man the man the man

Luda Luda I had no idea Luda's birthday was in yes of course it is you didn't tell me that of course Fibbs and Luda

are born on the same day 177 that would make him do not tell me it says it on the screen i don't tell me i didn't see 47 no no oh 48 46 49 hell yeah let's go 5 45 45 let's do it he looks hell yeah um he looks young and he's also awesome so that's a good one who else was born on 9-11 he is young i love him i love luda i'm starting to reframe my definition of young as you age. Nothing wrong with aging.

Speaking of young. If ludicrous is 45, I want to be 45 right now. Get this. Have you listened to Miley's new song? Used to be young. Something is making my stomach turn with the phrasing used to be and her being 30. Yeah. You know?

Well, she's going through so many. Eras. Yeah, which I love. I like watching her grow. I feel like I'm growing with her. I would. Because I am. Pay six figures.

It would. take out so many loans for a Miley Cyrus Ares tour. Facts. Yeah. Yeah. There's a wild animal above us. Can you guys hear that? Yeah.

Anyways, yeah, I would also, she was like one of the best concerts. She was one of the best concerts I've ever seen. She doesn't, she won't tour anymore. You know why? Because she did a 71 show, six-month world tour while filming Hannah Montana when she was 15 years old. No, that's not what she said in her interview that I watched. What you said? She said when she's in the position of being somebody that is observed and the crowd is the observer, it's dehumanizing.

And then she can't have the relationship that she wants with her fans, which kind of makes sense. Yeah. Yeah. Very mature for a 30-year-old. Yeah. Which is a child's age. Yeah. Oh, a baby.

She's just been born, really. She's just starting. She's in utero. She's just starting, do you ever think about like how much she's lived and she's really, think about how much Harry Styles has done or at someone like that and the fact that like he's not even 30? Like what, what else could he do? A lot probably.

He'd probably do a lot, but like he doesn't need to. Right. He's done so much. It is cool to think there's so much cool and scary to think what, what's, what's happening next. What could be done. Yeah. No, like there's like he could do something really cool and we just don't know about it yet because it didn't happen. I want him to do something like, cool.

Yeah. Brooke and I had a podcast earlier where we explained our podcast, which was really fun to do because both of us went completely silent. And then he was like, so what are you doing? I'm like, well, I learn things and Brooke learns things. And hopefully some people take something away like today. We learned about NATO genuinely. Didn't not know that. We learned things with.

With alongside everyone. Yeah. So probably there. We're not teaching. We're all learning. Surely there's some NATO heads out there. they're like, I knew that. And I know there are.

There are some people that didn't even know about NATO. You know what? They might be in the room with us right now. Yeah. Not me, though. I did know about the treaty. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay, so I guess I can't really think of anything specific about the trip that was like notable. Okay. It's been the exact same thing. We do the exact same trip every year, which is fun because I like. That is sweet. And we swim every day. Different areas of Michigan.

Michigan is the seventh. I don't know how many wonders of the world there are. No, you're right. 15 now. It's hard to keep track of all these things when there's so many of them. Not wonders of the world. I can think of. I think there's seven.

Seven wonders. Flewood Mac song. Yeah, there's seven. There could be eight. I think there's so many incredible things in the world. Sorry. Michigan should be the eighth because it is in America and it looks like a foreign, like gorgeous coastlines.

But their winters are just so brutal. And I think that's why they're not California. Right. It's always summer in Michigan. You could. And people do. Yeah. But to get there, I left my house at 445.

Right. After I had the most gnarly day. What did we do that week before I left? Oh, we were somewhere. Can we figure out what we did that week? Because it was over a week ago really quick. Didn't we just have the podcast? We had the podcast and then I let, oh, I went to.

Oh, you had a, you have a big project. Oh my God, I have a big fat project. Uh-huh. But I can't even talk about. You have a massive project. I've got this huge, huge project. That's what you were doing. That's what I was doing.

And you were exhausted. I was so exhausted after a full day, my massive huge project that I have to lug around with me and um that will be known to everybody soon I fucking hate people that say that so I like almost want to not say that okay you already said it so and you were point of the story is you were exquisite always exhausted and then I went from my massive secret project to Renee Rapp's song release party and that was so fun and the song Snow Angel by Renee Rap, stream it. So dang. So good. I have to listen. It's emotional. You're going to freak out. It actually debuted. I think it was like the number one on the charts,

female solo debut. Wow. Because she's just starting to really, right. That is wild. Yeah. It's really, really good. Listen to it while you're driving alone at night and cry. Okay. I can do that. Yeah, me too. I did. Anyways, I left from there, I left my house at 445. I landed in Michigan. at 445 p.m. And my parents said, we cannot pick you up from the airport. Go ahead and Uber to us.

I said, where are you? Sent me a pin. 160 miles away. Yeah. So I got an Uber with a man. So I finally get an Uber and I'm in Traverse City, Michigan, which does not have ubers. I went to buy a pop, a soda pop.

And the woman said, you're not going to get an Uber out here. And I said, I just got one, mama. What's the airport like? Is it like teeny teeny tiny? It's like three gates. Yeah. There's a bunch of little airports. But like that's the only.

only way I can get to where we were going because there's no like airports up there. So get there. I ubered. I finally get an Uber after like 30 minutes. My parents say we can pick you up at 8. It was 4.45. So that's not how this works. It's not. I texted you and I said, where did you find your therapist? I'm going to get online right now while I have so much time and I'm going to see if she has any openings because I was like, I'm not going to ruin this trip on day one. I ruined it on day two. And so I finally get an Uber. Uber pulls up. His trunk won't open, and he gets out of the car, and he's like, you just got to jimmy it.

And so he jimmies it. It's full of things. It looked like a thrift store. And I go, do you want me to just put my bag? He goes, just throw it in, threw it in on top of about 17 empty beer cans. And they just go crunch, and then I get in the car. Well, you guys have, you guys could. Oh, no, what fell?

My class, jinkies. Jinky's scoops. Talk about beer. I was like... You adore beer. I do. I do. I also adore margaritas on my summer drink right now.

Oh, really? Yeah. Spicy marks. But anyways, so I get in with him. He smells like weed. But like not a good amount of weed. It smelled like someone that died from weed. So then, as I'm welcomed into his vehicle with that smell, he goes, hey man.

And I go, okay, here we go. I noticed it's a really long trip, 160 miles. I go, yeah, he goes, you mind if we do this one off the books? Yeah. Answer to want to do this off the books? Always yes. I said, sure, let's do it. And, like, just don't do that.

Like, if we give any advice on a podcast. Right. Just like, yeah, I was joking. I didn't have service. But I was just like, you know, if he couldn't ask me, like, I'm mad of my parents anyways. That'll teach them a lesson. Right. And then he started.

starts driving and he's like I am so damn hungover like then we don't need to talk it's an hour and a half right he talked the whole time right I posted my story he was saying he was asking about it if he could turn the sun down like he wishes there was a way to turn the sun down hey man can you blame him you wear a hat yeah some sunglasses would help the way to turn the sun down yeah on a independent basis on an individual basis anyways we get there whatever trips over I go to fly home you have to go through Traverse City this little tiny airport and then I had to connect to Chicago both ways. Chicago the airport. Chicago the airport.

Chicago the city. Chicago the airport. Oh, hair. Yeah. Every flight I've ever been on through Chicago has been delayed every single time. I think that's like notorious. All those big airports are always, it's delayed, delay delay. I think the Chicago airport is like the number one airport for delays.

That came out of my butt, but I'm pretty sure it's true. I believe you. Yeah. I believe you because it's true. I've lived it. It's a lived experience. And so I'm like, all right, whatever. I have so much time to go home.

So I'm going to go over to this. My mom said, if you don't make your first flight, didn't go over to this sandwich shop. I'm not going to like dog on the sandwich shop, though, because that people are really nice. It was named Zoot, and it was at the Chicago airport. And my mom told me to go get it. It was one of the most, like, your flight, you miss your flight, you're starving, you get a sandwich that sucks. It's just like kicking you while you're already down. I'm sorry to hear that comment.

No, it's okay because what I'm about to tell you is really funny. Okay. So I get on the plane. Okay, I'm going to get past the part that pisses me off. Because I know that every time I get on a flight, something happens and I'm like, I need to walk through this and get people's opinions on this. Is it a raccoon? It's okay. It's a leak?

Oh. Yeah, it's just dripping up. Facts. That's on God up there. So I get on the plane and I'm about. middle of the plane in like row 22 and I get to my row and there's a wife a husband and like their baby like their toddler and I go oh sorry this is my seat which seat aisle or okay the aisle and they go oh well they said this seat was open and I go here's my ticket with the seat number on it

and they were like oh well they I mean they told us it was open I'm like it's not it's not now so move your kid. Right. And someone behind them goes, oh, I heard that seat in the back is open if you want to leave the family together. No. And I go, and the flight's in and it goes, let me check, let me check. Yes, it's open. It's open. And now there's nine people looking at me and there's a toddler in my seat. And I'm like, middle of the plane. You know what seat they were pointing at? Back middle? The one touching the bathroom in the middle. In between. between like a six foot four guy.

No, unacceptable. And a child with an iPad. Unacceptable. I did it. No. Yeah. It's a four hour, 30 minute flight. Connor, that's...

And I had woken up at 4.45 that day, too, to get to the Traverse City airport to get to Chicago. You need to practice. You need to do exposure therapy for those kinds of situations. Put the toddler in the back seat that doesn't recline. Yeah, you should have said that. Yeah. I took a sleeping pill. but I sit next to this kid okay

first we're delayed 45 minutes no AC by the way no I would there be and then finally the kid taps me and goes in an adult man voice not deep but like not deep but like well-spoken he was I love a well-spoken child

it's really sweet he asked me how old I was I lied I couldn't even tell him and he's like I am 13 years I don't know. I think he was 11. I'm 13 years or anything or something. And I'm like, cool. Oh, so he's brilliant. And yeah, he's like, do you know why we're delayed? And I go, I don't know, man. He's like, do you know how much we're delayed? I have a soccer game. And I was he alone? Yeah. Oh, King. Alone on his iPad. Oh, wow. So I'm going to walk through everything he said to me on this

flight. Okay. I love it. I kept a note. This is a four and a half hour flight. Oh, I'm excited. first of all, after the conversation about delaying the flight, when I grasped what I was dealing with, couldn't get my arm on the right side because the man was so tall and needed the space. I said, he does. And there's a child on my left. I'm common during this side.

I'm going to lean this way. And, you know, then the kid is talking about you're off, no AC. I'm like, so tired. I'm sweating. When I grasp the situation at hand, which is this kid is going to talk to me the entire flight and he is alone. I go, okay, I need to tell him I have to listen to an audio book because I'm going, I have school

tomorrow. So I told him I'm listening to Catcher in the Rye. For the first 10 minutes of me putting my AirPod in, he kept asking me what the book was about. To which you responded. I said, I made stuff up, Brooke, Catcher in the Rye. I was like, well, it's a man, he owns a farm. He lost something in it.

He's trying to catch it. Have you never read Catcher in the Rye? Don't know anything about it. I don't know. Why is that the book that popped into my head that I need to tell a 10-year-old that I'm reading. That's a classic. I should have just said the Bible. You might really like Catcher in the Rye.

I need to read it. I know. Anyway, so I'm listening to Catcher in the Rye. AirPods had died. Right. I'm not listening to shit. Uh-huh. And people are listening to me tell the 10-year-old what Catcher in the Rye is about,

and I'm making it all up. Right. Okay, so we're moving on. Now we're in flight. If you were a pet, what would you be? Good question. If you were, what kind of animal would you be? How many languages do you know the word hello in?

Another good question. He knew 11. He needs to like coach me on how to start conversations. What sports do you play? Do you think will land in time for me to get to my soccer game? Right. Yeah. Have you tried this beef jerky from Trader Joe's?

The chomps? Oh my God. Me and this kid would have had a field day. You should have, I would have switched you, switch bodies with you for this. I said no. He said, do you want to? Oh, he's precious. Do you want one of my headphones to watch Captain Underpants with me?

Yes! I would love that. My sleeping bill is hitting at this point. Which airport do you think is better? Burbank or LAX. Good question. How much longer do we have? Showing me how fast he could stop the timer on the clock app on iPad.

Oh, that's a fun skill. He was running and he was tap, tap, tap it. He was like, I got his fastest was 0.005 seconds. Cool. Do you know what Y, C, C, Y, C, B means? Y, Y, C, Y, C, Y, B, how, have, have your, have yourself, have you, have you, have you, have you, H.C. Mm-hmm. Have you chosen?

So close, but no. Chose? No. Called? Mm-mm. Checked? Yeah. Have you checked your, but?

Yeah. Have you checked your butthole? He barely got that sentence out. He was laughing so hard. I was like, no. I didn't know what that stands for. You didn't tell me. Do you remember spell I cup?

I see a B. Yeah. That was good. That was so, it was too good. This one really got me. Did you know that when I was younger, I used to call hand sanitizer,

sand sanitizer? I was like, no, I didn't know that. I'm addicted to this young man. I know. Do you recognize those mountains? Middle of nowhere. I hadn't, we were in the middle of the flight.

I didn't even know what state or end. I was like, no, he's like, I don't either. Oh, I love him. Do you want to know the worst mistake my teacher ever made? Yeah. asking him what his favorite sports store was.

Because he has so many. Didn't explain. Okay. Oh. Then we played chess. Oh, on the iPad? Yeah, I have a picture of it. That is really sweet.

That's really sweet. Yeah. Oh, well, did you? And then I was just like, good luck with your soccer game and I got off the plane. Oh, you didn't exchange information? No, with the 11-year-old boy. No, I didn't. I opted out of that feature.

Oh, why? Um, the flight attendant was already like, we're the last two people off the plane. I was like, I need to get out of here. Uh-huh. Yeah. The being around children in 2023 is like a scary thing. Even if you're just, you just like, I'm like, get the kids away from like, you know, no one wants to be alone with like someone random kid. I kind of love sitting next to kids on an airplane. But like, like late elementary school kids, like that kid. He was cool. It was the situation at hand where I was so tired, sweating, back of the plane, pissed off at that family. Fuck that baby, by the way. Excuse me.

I've got a hair in my throat. Yeah. When I student taught in college, I student taught second grade. So they were like eight. And they were definitely like the oldest group of kids I've ever had and I thought I was going to hate it. But I actually, like they were my favorite kids in the world. and one day we were having a silent lunch and I was sitting next to my dear friend Peter

and Peter had a difficult time with silence which is fair because he's eight and it was so quiet he had been completely quiet for like a minute and then turned to me and whispered have you ever had breast cancer again like all valid question oh my God that would have Brooke that would have been a good

reminder to check. Yeah. Now, kids are really ahead of game. Peter, let me step away and let you know. He was ahead of his time. Peter, go save your damn life. Truly. Missing him. Forerobly. I don't know. I wish I knew. I bet he knows about NATO. What's scary is that those kids that I soon taught probably like are on social media now. Yeah, for a fact. Mm-hmm. That's frightening. Because they were eight when you were teaching them. They were eight when I was teaching them. That was in 2017. Go ahead and do that math for me. they're 13 14 years old yeah that's horrifying horrifying oh

ew ew oh maybe peter will reach out if he has social media now what's his last name i don't know i also wouldn't say it on the podcast oh why did i ask um peter if you're out there let us know we would love to have you on we really would i would i would love to have you on i would I would love to have a 14 year old on. What are you thinking? I would love to have like an 8 to 11.

Like I would love to have that kid or Peter, 8 year old Peter on. If anyone here in California has an 8 to 11 year old that they would be willing to to shop around and we could have them on. Yeah. I would love that. I don't see anything wrong with that. I would really love that. Are Brooke and Connor smarter than a third grade, third, fourth grader?

Yeah, but they don't know what no is. No. Did you know that when I was in college, I used to tutor kids at the elementary school in Austin and Think I hurt them more than I Helped. I think I hurt them long term, but you tried I was learning with them just like this podcast They were like, um What is sedimentary rock? And I was like well, let's Let's figure that out together. What is six times 11? That's easy 66. I

Oh, I love multiplying things by 11. So fun. So fun. One of my favorite hobbies. What's 1134 times 11? Do it. Oh, don't do that to me. Come on.

You love it so much. It's 1,100. I meant 1 through 9. I love multiplying numbers, one through single digit numbers by 11. That's a smooth brain. And that's what I want your number 5. That's a smooth brain activity.

Yeah. Feels good. Yeah. 11 times 3. I could multiply anything, but I could multiply most things by 10 though if you want to ask me. Um, 1,000. I know you're thinking.

of a big number. 1,643 times 10. 1,643 times 10. 16,000. That would be 16,000. 433.

No, there's no. Didn't you say 33? You said 30. If we play it back. We never claim to be a math podcast. Uh-huh. That is a fun activity, though. I used to love the speed.

Oh, Connor. The speed multiplication. I was pulled out of the classroom for the speed multiplication. You got too competitive? No, I couldn't do it. Oh, they pull you out? Well, I had a different math class.

Like a lower level math class? Mm-hmm. That's okay. Yeah, I know. Why wouldn't it be? Okay. Well, Connor, I bet you're wanting to know what I got up to while you were gone. How did you know that?

Oh, my God. What? What? Popeyes is delivering to my house as we speak. Did you order something? No, they were being so graciously delivering it to my home. Can I call Flick on the podcast? Wait, tell me about your weekend yet.

I like opted in for a special delivery for a top secret menu item. For top secret menu item. And I've never opted in before. And that was before we were recording our podcast today. Oh, oh, oh. And then we opted in. And so I'm going to call Flick very quickly. Okay.

I'm sure everyone would love to hear from Flick. Yeah. Oh, you're not putting them on speaker? Um, okay. Hey, Flick, are you home? No Are you gonna be home at any time Do you think?

I'll be Yeah I'm like on my way up to Malbu right now To drop off some techia But I'll be home in like Probably like an hour and a half Okay No worries

They're dropping off Well Popeye's is graciously gifting You're on the podcast live As we speak right now by the way Um Oh shit Awesome Popeyes has gifted us

Some Popeyes So I'm gonna see if Is there any Is there any Now. No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm just going to tell, I'll just tell the guy to wait a little bit. Okay, sorry.

All right, well, have a great podcast. Thanks, Flick. Bye. Okay, let me see if I can reroute the Popeyes, but keep telling you about your weekend. Well, where's Hanklin? Guess what my delivery driver's name is? Hank? No, take a...

Victor. No, Brooke, take a guess. Roger. Brooke, take a guess. I just took three Frankie Oh Speaking of Frankie

I got her A litter box Oh wow But it's not like a litter box It's just a box That I just like Hoped that she would poop in She was still pooping

On the floor Which I'm obsessed with My weekend Connor my weekend was good Oh you were supposed to go To the Dodgers game With us But you didn't

Because you had to go to Michigan But basically there's this company called the A-List and they're amazing and what they do is they work with brands and they put on events and do gifting for influencers just to like get those brands out there. And they took us like that's when we went to the Jonas Brothers concert. We went with A-List. And there's usually just like a bunch of like influencers like in our circle that we would know at A-List events.

So I said yes, I'd go to the Dodgers game hoping, you know, thought I'd know if. few people and I brought my friend Patrick and Sally Dar brought our friend Sarah. So it was us four. And we walk into the, it was like a suite at the daughter's game and we walk in and the room is completely empty besides a few of like the A list employees and Mario Lopez. Yes. Which was a shock because usually it's like influencers around our age and tons of them. So it was shocking to see a singular Mario Lopez in that instance. There's like

no one else that I can even think of that's more relevant yet random at the same time to be in that room singularly. Yeah, so I was taken aback by that and then as me

Mario, Patrick, Sarah, Sally Dar were enjoying the game another woman walked in and I was like, oh, I know her, but I couldn't place it right away because she had really short hair and I think that was or I had thought at the time I was like I think I know her with long hair. Connor you will not believe who this woman was. You will not care at all whatsoever. But it was Rosario Dawson who is. Oh, you always listen to that

song by Rosario. Mimi from Rent. Yeah, rent. Which is to me one of the most important things that could have happened to me. I didn't say hi, of course. Why? Because I'm shocked. I saw you in the background of a photo of her. I know. I was freaking out. And she seemed so sweet. That's a good name. Yeah.

So it was her Mario. And then the third person to walk in was Lily Raib. You know her from TV. You know, one of my favorite shows. So I was just floored by that. And that was the event, which was really interesting because that's not at all. Oh, my way. Do you know her?

Yes. I know her from Redacted. Yeah. She's from Redacted. Oh, my God. She's amazing. Crazy. Yeah.

So it was me, Lily, Rosario and Mario, and some of our friends. Not the Rosario Mario combo. Oh, yeah, the Rosario and Mario combo. And that was really it, which was so interesting. And not what I was expecting, but I had a great time. And you want to know something interesting that I enjoyed watching? Was Mario asking for a picture with Rosario? It's cool to see that happen.

Very cool. It's like, because you wouldn't think like Mario needs to like fan girl. Mario was stoked. but I didn't speak to anyone if that helps because why would I? What? I'm trying to do this like secretly so that I can be so involved should the Popeyes come here?

Oh yeah, I'd like that. We'll wait for him but he's, I said I'm so sorry I had to take my, I don't know why I had to lie to Frankie. Oh, it's, you had to. We had an emergency, I had to take my dog to the vet. I mean have a dog. Yeah, yeah. But is he going to know you had didn't,

take your dog to the vet when he shows up to the podcast studio? He'll think that there's a secret vet somewhere. Oh, okay. I think your plan is a little bit flawed. I know, but he said, I can drop it off wherever, L.O.L. Oh, L.O. And then I said, what about here? He said, yeah, that works.

Oh, okay. Great. I'm looking forward to it. Thanks, Frankie. Maybe we'll have Frankie on the podcast. Oh, cool. That could be fun. Well, that is such an interesting thing.

That's the beauty of Hollywood, baby. What? I forgot to tell you. What? It's actually a huge deal. Hang on, let me itch my neck. Go for it. Okay, so you know how I'm going to New York next week?

Yeah. Well, first of all, I thought maybe I would reach out to some hotels and see if they would want to maybe like do some sort of collab like I would promo the hotel and they would let me stay there because I've seen like every single influencer under the sun does that. And I've always been too shy and too scared to ever reach out to any sort of brand. even when they say like please let us know like if you need a restock of anything i'll never reach out i'll buy it um so i had always been too shy to ask like any hotel if i could stay but i did it and i dm'd 20 hotels 20 hotels 18 said no we cannot accommodate you at this time yeah one said email us i email them and they did not reply yeah and then one has not answered so fingers

cross for that one. But I don't have a place to stay. I'm going in a few days. Yeah. So that's exciting. But I just bought myself tickets to the final performance of finished my sentence. Funny girl. 100% Connor. Wow. That's really awesome. The final performance. That's really awesome. That's really awesome. Brooke. I'm going alone. I'm also going to be in New York next week. You won't be there when I'm, you won't be in the city. Crazy. What day are you going on? Sunday. I'll be no.

No, you won't be there. No. And then, guess what I'm doing that night after the final performance, which is during the day? Oh, just going to see Harry Potter and the Curst Child, the play. That's going to be the Sunday, September 3rd is going to be the best day of my life, I fear. I'm terrified. It's all downhill after that. And guess what?

Guess who's probably going to be at Funny Girl because it's the last performance? Leandro. What? Michelina. Liam Michelle? Yeah. Well, she's the star of the show. Oh.

So, no. I'll probably be there. Guess who's going to be in the audience, I'm saying, probably. That guy. Yes. Her best friend. Yes. Jared Goff.

Yes. Jonathan Groff. Who did I say? Maybe he'll be in the audience, which is so exciting. I wouldn't say hi. Jared Goff, Jonathan Groff. That's the same name. I wouldn't say hi, but maybe he'll be there.

Wow. He will for sure. Even just to breathe the same air, it would be awesome. Wow. I bet there's going to be a lot of famous people. there how'd you get a damn ticket they were like completely reasonably priced which is weird uh i i've been scammed i think but maybe i haven't been which is cool if i haven't been because you at least get to say that you bought a ticket to something did i buy them through the official

broadway site no did i buy them through third party yes yes yes so i can't wait to see what happens yeah well the point is it says the name of the play on it and you get to put that in a bulletin board or something. Yeah, I'd like to see it though. Yeah. Yeah. At least you have Harry Potter and the Chris Child to look forward to too, no matter what. No matter what.

Cool. Well, I hope to run into you in the big Apple at that point. I would love that. Yeah. Yeah. So weird. Brooke and I, I'm going to the Hamptons as soon as I get there and on Thursday. Brooke arrives on Thursday.

Thursday. I leave Thursday. And then I come back Monday and she leaves Monday. I leave Tuesday. Tuesday. for Philly. We could get dinner Monday night. Yeah.

I think you're coming back Tuesday though. No. Okay, let's get dinner Monday night. Monday night. I'm down. Okay. And I want to force you. Looking forward to maybe staying in a hotel as well.

Oh, I wouldn't count my lucky start. Because guess what it is next week? You know why you can't get a hotel? Because it's Labor Day? It's New York Fashion Week. Every influencer under the sun is going to be there. I just realized that's why you couldn't get a hotel. I think I just also, they had like just,

the answer is just no regardless of what time of year it is at this time. No, I think that they would maybe want you and me in the dead of winter when it's miserable. You think? Yeah. That could be precious. When they're really struggling for business, they need B and C. They need our warm hearts. They really seem not to need B at all at this time.

Yeah. They don't need B. Yeah, they did not need B&C NATO. But I'm still maybe the last hotel that has not answered. Fingers crossed. What is it? What's the last hotel? I don't know.

Let's see. And it's cool because like, I know I damned all the ones that I see other influencers post about. They could not accommodate me at this time either, which is... Oh, you know what I'm really going to try to do next week? What? Go to the U.S. Open. Tennis.

My ass is going to be scalping tickets. Oh, I actually don't want to do that. Why? It's so fun. It's the coolest thing ever. I don't like tennis. Oh, it's such a grand sport. What was I looking for?

I don't know. Me neither, man. Give up. Love it. Okay, let's move on to some Popsie. Pop C in the house. Let me check my notes very quickly. One thing I do want to talk about because it's so relevant to what we always talk about is Ed Shear and came out with an album.

That's pop culture. That's pop C. That's P-C. That's P-C. A-F as fuck. And the thing is, what was your bet? I wish we could look back at what you said it was going to be, the name of his album. Like cosine or something?

Yeah. Our man ran out of math. Our man couldn't be further from math. He went. He went seasons. I'm sure he said his album name is autumn variations. Oh, that's math. Yeah, that is math.

Variation. Autumn variations. It's just seasonal math. We talked about seasons and math today. And he's combining seasonal math. Yeah. Now, what does autumn variations mean? Different kinds of leaves.

Oh, the variations of fall. Different kinds of pumpkin spice latte. Some you can get with almond milk, some you can get with oat. Oat, O, O, O, O, O. milk for your hoagie what was I going to say damn oh someone had a real big problem because they said why are all

someone had a real big problem one of you one of you had a real big problem with celebrities cosplaying as working class they're doing it because they have nothing left to do and it's fine it's going to be okay they don't get why

Ed Shearin is out giving out coffees and they don't get why Lana da Rays out working at a waffle house. It's promo. Yeah. But it is like. It's fun for people. They want to go in and get a coffee from Ed Sheeran and he's promoting autumnal variations.

Yeah. I think it's fine. What's more variation than a Starbucks drink that you could put this and that into? You, I think the number of ways you could get a drink at Starbucks is infinity. It's in the millions for a fact. It's infinity. You know who is the only bitch getting whole cows milk? at the coffee shop now, me.

And I say it so, I say it with my chest. The house milk. Brooke, I said it. They took it. The house milk. I want the house milk. And they go, cool. Yeah.

I go, do you want me to explain what it is? I go, no, no. I've heard it said before. But they say it to people. They go, cows milk? I go, yeah. Yeah. You know what?

I want the cow's milk. Yeah. And if anybody has a problem with that. I could see that. I could, never mind. Going south. No, no, no. On an episode of a show.

On an episode of redacted. Redacted. No, 100%. Yeah. That would be a full episode. Yeah. At maybe Moka Joes. Yeah, maybe a little bit.

Maybe lots of lelioris as well in addition to that as well. Yeah, so I've been kind of saying it. I have this coffee shop that I go to Menades in Venice. Oh, you go to Menardis? Yep. And they always have a vinyl record playing. And today it was Leon Bridges. Sounds awesome.

Yeah, it puts me in an awesome mood. Couldn't name one song. Texas son. No, don't know it. It's okay, though. I'll play some after. We can't do any on here because we'll get a copyright infringement

notice of our arps. Maybe we could listen to some autumnal variations in the bonus as well. Is it out? Yeah. He just released an album, though. What was it called? Decimal point?

Uh, he just released. Oceanic decimal point. Either. No, he just released minus. Subtract. I think, yeah. Like very recently. So, May 5th.

So May 5th he released it so this is not out yet? Wait, he released minus on May 5th? Uh-huh. This May 5th? Uh-huh. And now he's already releasing another? He's in his album era. Oh, that doesn't make any sense.

He's in his release era. He's releasing all over the place. Oh, I was listening to a really good Ed song on the way here. Which one? The classic. I met this girl late last year. Don't I think I'd worry if I disappear. Here I thought I'm not really looking for another mistake.

Cause an old friend. You know who that's about supposedly? Tell me. It's supposedly about Nile Horn and Ellie Golding. Her cheating on Ed with Nile. And they both came out and said that's not true, but I don't believe him. Mamma Mia. Yeah.

By the way. Yeah. Speaking of more music, I'll just talk about this. So, Zach Bryan, do you listen to any Zach Ryan? No. You will soon. So just mark my words to everybody listening. Brooks, I'm going to say this about Zach Ryan.

She's going to love it, and then she's going to love it, and then everyone's going to see it online. Okay, I'm not saying, yeah, I'm open to you. You should. It's like sad, emotional, gut-wrenching country music. All I know is that he's dating Drianna Chicken Fry. Adriana Chicken Fry? Brianna Chicken Fry. I was like, who's that?

No. Yeah, he is. They're dating. They're cute. And apparently he has a song. about her already. Facts. Facts. On God. On God. They need to get married. I love that. He also has a song with Casey Musgraves, great song, and the luminaires on this new album. He just released. And I love them. The luminaires are coming back in style. I'm going to see them. I'm going to see them

in Redondo Beach next month. I feel like Noah Khan has brought that kind of music back. Like coming of age in your car driving down the highway. Foxie. Foxie. Foxie. But like soul. Foksy soul with like a country slang. folksie with a country twang A little twang A chicken wang So I'm going to see the Luminaires But get this,

Lumineers post a picture It's a screenshot of their DMs From 2016 A message from Zachary Brian That says, hey, you guys are my favorite band Blah blah blah yada yada They posted and said Like a lot can happen in like seven years

She just started her freshman New York College so that when she gets sad or lonely, or just to hear my, my gorgeous voice. She can, she can play the chicken. That's really sweet.

Yeah. She did a girl, too. I can't believe that her name was Belinda. Like, they were teenagers. Yeah. It's like Belinda normally, like a, not a normal, but like, maybe in Spain. Is it? I don't think so, but I don't know.

I don't know. I mean, like, not a young person name. It doesn't seem like. But maybe in Spain. Belinda, because isn't Belle pretty and Linda, pretty too in Spanish? Linda. In France, Eleanor is like a very popular name. but like we would consider that an old person name but like it's a bigger young person name i guess i knew a couple

Yeah. Most. Well, I don't support all men either. Hell no. Oh, God, no. Wouldn't dream of it. At the end of the day, it just comes down to, like, not liking that many people, just liking a few.

On God. Yeah. On God. You know where I would love to see her? You know where I would love to see her burning men? I would love to see Brooke at Burning Man. I think that So Burning Man, do you know what Burning Man is?

Yeah, the music festival where you do drugs. No, like it's not. It's not a music festival. I don't know what it is. I don't get it. But it's like where adults go and kind of have origins. Think of NATO and then think of, I don't know where I was going with that.

Think of NATO and then think of something else entirely. Uh-huh. What are you thinking about now? Burning Man. Burning Man. Exactly. That's a good way to describe it. So basically go out.

I don't know. Can we, can we look up what? it actually is because I know that it's spiritual for a lot of people, but you don't bring any money. Everything's a trade. That's not going to work for me. Well, it's like you trade your skills. You could trade your chickens for like water and food. Or maybe you bring water.
