Starting point is 00:01:45 All you need to know is today, Connerwood, aka Fibula, is on the podcast. And I don't think I looked at my notes once because it was just the conversation that never quit. I don't have anything else to say, but you'll laugh and giggle and feel all the right things during this episode. Etsy witches are having a year. Really? Yeah. I know more people that are involved with Etsy witches than aren't. What's an Etsy witch?
Starting point is 00:02:08 Do you not know this whole thing with Etsy witches? Oh, my God. I thought you were just being funny. Oh, no. But you're being serious. I'm being serious. Where to begin with Etsy witches? So.
Starting point is 00:02:16 Let's just start the episode here. Etsy witches. Etsy witches. What? There's a huge market for Etsy witches. I have not been involved. I haven't done. on Etsy.
Starting point is 00:02:25 Like, I haven't been on Etsy website. Yeah. So there's, I guess there's individuals that practice witchcraft and they're very affordable. It's very affordable. Okay. And so you, it's affordable to be a witch in witchcraft? To pay for their services via Etsy. Okay.
Starting point is 00:02:42 By way of Etsy. They, if you have a crush, people are hitting them up to help facilitate that. To manifest it. And I have a friend who is in cahoots. Like, they're talking every day. He's talking with his Etsy West, which. every day. You're kidding.
Starting point is 00:02:56 And this is a man that's involved with an Etsy witch. So we've now surpassed. There's no gender norms with the Etsy witches. No, they don't discriminate? They don't. Like, it is, the witches are for everybody on Etsy. And you could do anything with the witches. You're kidding me.
Starting point is 00:03:12 People are actually paying them for the service. I wish we could pull it up. I wish we could pull it up and look at, can we? Well, we have phones. Well, I've never, I've never looked at it. I don't know if you type in Etsy Witch if your phone will be flagged. Well, I'm worried about your. house like it might explode if you look it up this is why this happens to me because i'm like witch
Starting point is 00:03:29 etsy witches dot com something's happening that's that's almost supernatural the amount of outside factors that are that are going on in your house like that's that it flagged to me well i as a witch unbelieve this right you should get on etzy is it pretty profitable i mean these people must have hundreds of clients. The way I know 15 people with Etsy Witches. Why don't I? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:03:58 We could do this. I tried to pretend. I was like, yeah, Etsy witches. I'm really sorry because just so you, like,
Starting point is 00:04:05 if it wasn't clear, that's how much I talk about this, that like I'm throwing it out in a normal conversation and acting like it's a normal thing. Like it's a dentist. Yeah. It's a witch.
Starting point is 00:04:15 It's a digital witch. It's a new career that people are really thriving. It is. Interesting. AI is coming for all of our jobs, but not Etsy Witches. Okay, do you actually believe that because that's why I think I won't have children. Like, I want a family so bad and I'm 40 and I go, times a ticking, Caitlin, but I am so scared that my child will never have a job.
Starting point is 00:04:36 See, it's so weird. I talked about this on my podcast. I think AI is, the reason, like, AI is coming for people's jobs is because they're all using chat GPT at work. Like, you're telling ChatGPT exactly what you do for work. That's, I don't know anything about you. I just use ChatGPT to come up with my whole prep doc. Did you? No. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:04:57 Well, I've asked ChatGPT tell me about myself like all the time. I don't even Google myself. I'm like, yeah, yeah, Google is dead. Tell me about Conrad. They're like, he's a hockey player from Canada. I'm like, okay, so I haven't made it yet. Are you actually a hockey player from Canada? No.
Starting point is 00:05:10 Oh, I just was. There's another one out there, I guess. I'm excited. And he's taller than me. Six-four. He is six four. No, I just made that up. He's 6.4. I don't want to give him any more credibility. Like, what am I doing?
Starting point is 00:05:22 No, no, no. This is the real honor. Yeah, I'm also 6.4. You just can't see because it's humid. Yeah, it's podcast. It's hot in here. But yeah, all my, like, so many people I talk to are like, I don't know what my job is. I use chat GPT every day. Yeah. It does my whole job. And I go, then we can't be upset when it's like, hey, I'm doing your job for you. Like, I'm going to go ahead and get the paycheck now. Yeah. No, that's fair. It really, it can, it could have come up with a person. prep doc for you. But because I follow you and because I know things, I do my own research. We follow each other for a while. I know. I thought that was so cute. I just went for lunch with Amanda Hirsch, not skinny, not bad. And she was like, tell him. I'm glad we're Instagram friends now because he's so funny. And I was like, we were talking about the fact that you're not annoying
Starting point is 00:06:07 online and most men are. I wouldn't. That's a. No, really. That's a leap. That's a jump. I would say I'm. I wouldn't say that. I got a death threat the other day. Oh, you're so annoying. I'm going to kill you i go oh i get those all the time i go i've just posted everything i did you you didn't you know if you wanted to we would you know yeah i don't believe you yeah i've been at lunch for three hours where are you yeah here's here's my location yeah right oh my god i tell you she said i'm not annoying no we both agreed we i know that this is such a double standard but for me like when i see women do a real or like an outfit change i'm like oh chic and when i see men do anything online i'm like uh no but you're not annoying oh my god
Starting point is 00:06:47 No, you're funny. I just got full body chills when you said it again. You're supposed to be here. You're on the right path. I'm making sure it's a not annoying online. That should be in your bio now. It's honestly so refreshing. You're naturally funny. Jeez. As if you don't know that. As if you don't know that, you're naturally funny. A lot of people want to be funnier or like have agendas for going viral. I feel like you accidentally went viral and now you're just being you. Yeah, I lucked out. That's nice. I lucked out. The accident, I was telling you. I was telling you. I was telling you. I was telling you. I was telling you. I was telling you. I was telling. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was someone about that recently. My favorite thing is when you're talking to someone who's in finance and like so proud that they're not online. You run into those people? Oh, I've never had TikTok. Nice. Cool. Yeah, I'm not I'm not chronically online. Okay. Yeah. I'm like, no worries at all. Yeah, but they're like, what was your, what, what was your thing? I was like, I didn't, I don't think I had a thing. Like, didn't you like break your arm for attention? It's, it's totally okay that you like remember that I didn't do that
Starting point is 00:07:49 like that is something that I would do though like if you did tell yeah I was gonna say that's the that's the Canadian hockey player that did that I'm Canadian so I get a different feed yeah right so I thought you're I actually didn't now I don't even know who you are because I thought you're a hockey player at this whole time
Starting point is 00:08:04 I'm just kidding actually this tooth is fake oh hot that Canadians would love that I got a root canal this morning though so yeah oh shit are you okay yeah I was just gonna say if like half my mouth isn't moving not hockey related. I got a root canal. And they actually were like, you need two.
Starting point is 00:08:21 I went in for one, two for one. Insurance didn't cover it. So it was actually two for two. It was full price. Do you know how much I'm paying for my fibroid to be removed from my uterus on Tuesday? Tell me. And I'm nervous to hear this price because it's not. $7,000.
Starting point is 00:08:35 You're not in Canada anymore. That was the moment. I was like, she's not in Canada anymore. $7,000 to have my fibroid removed because if I don't, it could turn into something and I I could never have babies, but let me give you seven grand to take out my fibroid that I didn't ask for. Fibroid sounds like something that Spectrum would call and be like, you have to expand your services. We're adding fibroid to your network. They did to me there.
Starting point is 00:08:59 I'm adding fibroid to your uterus. We're actually taking away your fibroid. Yeah. Your 5G is going to be out of whack for a little bit. That's what's happening to me. So, wait, you're getting it removed. Yeah. Why, like, what's the reason to get the fibroid removed?
Starting point is 00:09:13 I don't want it. It's just like, it's too much. Maybe if it was under three centimeters, I'd think about it. But the fact that it is a large fibroid just sitting on my uterus, I'm a petite human. Yeah. And if you look at me from a side angle, I look three months pregnant and I swear it's the fibroid because I'm constantly bloated right here. I think it's the fibroid. So really, this is like a cosmetic surgery, like a tummy tuck.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Maybe that's why it's $7,000. They're like, you never said anything about a fibroid, Caitlin, you're getting a tummy tuck. What's the purpose of a fibroids? outside of being annoying and... Hey, Siri, what is the purpose of a fibroid on the uterus? What is it doing day to day, yeah? They're benign tumors. Shut up.
Starting point is 00:10:01 Benign tumors of the uterus and the single most common indication for a hysterectomy. Oh, get it out. Get it out. See, yeah. Don't let the door hit you on the way out of my uterus. It also causes me to be an extreme pain once. a month to the point where I'm in the fetal position in my bathroom crying blacking out seeing stars and almost throwing up because of pain so yeah I'll pay the seven grand yeah I mean I'll
Starting point is 00:10:27 pay it for you at this point that's like I'll start to go fund me and I'll tell you so I was in Atlanta um I had some comedy shows and I had been in you think you're funny people other other people seem to you're funny okay gone you're excused um it's my fibroid acting out a relatable coming out the other end. I can relate. So I was in Austin the day before, and I had gotten to Austin so late that the only thing open on Uber Eats was
Starting point is 00:10:57 this halal truck that I've eaten at before, usually drunk, whatever. But I was sober, and I was like, I know this is good. And I got a Euro. Yeah. I usually just say it really fast because I... Well, it technically is a Euro.
Starting point is 00:11:13 G-Y-R-O? Because people call it a Gyro. a gyro or whatever. It's your right? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Good for you.
Starting point is 00:11:19 We can edit that. Yeah. Because I've been, I've traveled a little bit. It's Michigan last year. I, so I get one of these at like one in the morning. Yeah. It's available. And I actually, he was buy one, get one.
Starting point is 00:11:37 Randomly, the meat that's been sitting out all day was on sale. Never trust a meat on sale. It was so good. The first one I ate, I was like, that was so delicious. I was going to save the other one. Nope. Eat it. It went down really easy, the second one.
Starting point is 00:11:50 And obviously the next day, I am having appendicitis. I was like, my appendix is exploding in Atlanta. And I had to go to... He's sick, guys. He's trying to get me sick in this podcast. What's happening? What is going on? Take a sip of water.
Starting point is 00:12:12 Do you want me to, like, sing or something while you do it so you don't feel uncomfortable? It's like something happening in my lungs. Oh, it's the appendix. Disregard. It's the gyro. Yeah. Go to the ER. I'm like, oh, God.
Starting point is 00:12:25 My appendix is bursting. They're like, no, so I have diarrhea. They go, you're having cramps. You're having cramps. Just like, so you talking about your fiber and the pain, like, I have never in my life. I want to stand up, take my hat off, and salute our troops. Thank you. That are women having cramps.
Starting point is 00:12:44 I genuinely. was like, oh, I'm finally dying. Yeah. I couldn't stand up to fill out my intake form. I was like, I have to sit down. I actually was keeled over and... You had cramps. I'm going to say, can I say something gross on here?
Starting point is 00:12:57 Please. Okay. I was like, you have to scan my whole body. I don't know what to say. Like, you have to scan my whole body. There's something's happening inside of me that, like, there's like, I'm, like, the second coming of Christ has happened right now. I had immaculate conception.
Starting point is 00:13:11 I'm giving, he's about to pop out of my fibroid. Like, I was like. it's just an insane thing that's happening to me they scan my body they go do you see this pointing at my whole torso I go you backed out my whole body they go that's all poop and farts and that was the medical term that they used
Starting point is 00:13:28 no they didn't they said poop and farts and what were you hanging out with the girl for the last week so you're trying to like keep it in no it was that euro no it was food why did I not put that together I know me just selling you what foods I like and then saying I went to the yard
Starting point is 00:13:45 Yeah, I should have put that together. It was that you're, I had, I had that experience for one whole month. A month? Yeah. When was this? Last year, last fall. You had this pain for like three weeks. It was, it was like, hard and off, but.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Worried about you. I know, no, it was so bad. But, like, I took a picture myself and I captioned it, this is the worst day of your life. So that I can look back at it and be like, every day that I'm not feeling that is a day that I'm, I'm, I'm having. Okay, you know that feeling, which I think you're talking about, when you're so sick and you're like, I will never not appreciate being healthy. Yep. That's what you felt. I felt that.
Starting point is 00:14:29 I felt that. I felt that if you wouldn't have eaten the second one. There's no way of knowing what bite it was. I have like a severe phobia of throw up. It's so bad that like I'll, like sometimes I don't go to a. a random sushi spot. I won't. Like, when I walk through the airport of Nashville and I see the sushi spot open at 8 a.m. I'm like, you're sick. Where did you get that fish? Where did you get that fish? Yeah, the secret pond at the Nashville airport. The Cumberland River, which is dirty as, I don't
Starting point is 00:15:03 know where they're getting this fish from or when it's flown in or why you're open at 8 a.m. in the airport, but I don't want it. And I actually start thinking about people eating it. And I get secondhand anxiety of them throwing up. that's psychotic that's one step further than I would have taken it because I would have been in line at 8 a.m. to get the fish. That's just like I don't and that's I'm very jealous of your foresight even though you're experiencing something second hand. When chip fillet is beside you, what makes you go for the questionable fish. Sometimes like your body, the body wants what the body wants. Like sometimes I truly wake up and I'm like, I wake up and I'm like, I want applesauce. It's like, am I pregnant? You know, like what I, it's, it's so weird. But I won't, like, for the sake of transparency and for transparency's sake as well, I've craved fish at 8 in the morning. Like I, yeah, I will do that. So where did, wait, where did you grow up, Texas?
Starting point is 00:15:58 Yeah. Not Canada. Not Canada. It is the Canada of the South. Is it? No one has said that until now. I think, yeah, I was just going to say, you just made that up. And that is in no way believable.
Starting point is 00:16:09 Because if anywhere in the States was going to be the Canada of anywhere, where would it be? I can't think of a Canada, of, there's not one. No, there's not one. There's not one. Okay, so you grew up in Texas. Austin? Houston. Houston.
Starting point is 00:16:23 Oh, I love Houston. It's a special place. It really is. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Did you have good fish there? Oh, God, no. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:30 I didn't eat fish until, I didn't eat fish, period, until college. And in college, we were going to a place called, and I went to UT Austin. Okay. That was in Austin. That's where I was in Austin, yeah. and we would go to this place that had $4 sushi rolls, $1 sockie bombs. Oh. So we would get blackout drunk and be full for $13.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Wow. That was... What a time to be alive. When I was 18 years old, I worked at a bar called Cowboys. And this is so embarrassing. Where was this? This is in Edmonton, Alberta. Wait, okay.
Starting point is 00:17:10 You've been Calgary. Yes. Yes. I just did a show. I was going to say when we were talking about Canada of the South, they said Edmonton was Texas of Canada. Why is Texas oil? Oil. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:17:22 I didn't get a ton of vibes from Edmonton, like enough of a read about Edmonton. I mean, they call it Deadmonton, because there's not a lot going on there. It's fun. There's good people. It was great people. That's where I grew up. That's where I was born and raised. Really? Yeah. Oh, my God. I did. You probably landed at the Edmonton Airport, which is my dad's
Starting point is 00:17:39 backyard. It's in LaDuke. Yeah. I was, I was, I was, texting when we landed, I said, I went to the, I'm in the middle of, I, yeah, I went to the wrong that's where I grew up. It is just, uh, like rural land. Like there's not even a building. And then we drove downtown. And it was, it looks gorgeous. I mean, yeah, there's, the first time I ever took my niece downtown Edmonton, she went, what are we in New York or something? It looks like, it's a city. It's like, so many tall buildings. And I was like, that's funny. But yeah, I mean, Edmonton, where you were just there? Recently, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:13 So like in nice weather, because otherwise, like, I grew up where it would be minus 40 degrees. And on the inside of the door handle, it'd be like, we're in our heated house, but the inside of the door handle had ice around it because it's just so cold on the outside that is coming in. What? Yeah. We didn't have snow days. We had to bundle up, go to school. Everything. We were, yeah, I think it's why I have a personality.
Starting point is 00:18:38 100%. Yeah. I grew up in a, in a, I don't know. I mean, it was country. vibe so so like that's why the bar was called cowboys yeah Alberta is they say like prairie girls who grew up there okay I'm a I'm a I'm a prairie girl wait how old are you 29 oh it's a baby well are you excited for 30 um should be I think it's more of like a uh parental lobes developed you should be hyped it is it's been it's been developed for a couple
Starting point is 00:19:08 years but still it's like really that's it what do you mean I thought it was like I was gonna like have a euphoric like, like, oh. It wasn't like that. It was like, it just goes, oh. Yeah. Okay. But you know what it'll be? It's 20.
Starting point is 00:19:24 You're like, oh, okay. And then 30s, you just go, oh. And then men start thriving at 40. That's what I've heard. So do women. Women thrive at 40. I'm 40. I feel like I'm thriving.
Starting point is 00:19:36 You are thriving. I'm the best I've ever felt at 40. You're glowing. I'm like, well, that's Botox. But that's fibrox. but that's fibroid coming up. It's the knowing of my fibroid coming out that it's making me glow. Your due day.
Starting point is 00:19:49 Yeah. It's like, you know, pregnant women are glowing. Yeah. That's me because my fibroid is the size of a squash. Avakata. And I'm glowing and it's about to come out. But yeah, I feel like men, 29 is such an exciting age for men because nobody takes guys seriously in their 20s. I don't.
Starting point is 00:20:09 well then you shouldn't no like do you feel like you were like ahead of your time or are you like no I'm 29 no I feel like I'm I don't feel like I'm gonna be 30 why is it so hard for you to say I don't want to say it well I can't say my TH is honestly I can have a little bit of a speech impediment

Starting point is 00:23:49 I lost sleepover last night because I was like flesh eating. If you told me six years ago there's flesh-eating bugs in Nashville, I would spiral so hard, I'd move, I'd have panic attacks. But in 2025, of a go, of course, of course there's flesh eating bucks in Nashville. I have a spare bedroom, sure. Like they can crash. They'll be there. It's just, that's the world we live in where nothing phases me anymore. Aliens, they're in my backyard.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Yeah. Nothing faces me. That's the weirdest thing. I talked about this yesterday too with someone where it's like, I am now show one of those people that something will be my every waking thought during. the day and then like the next day I'm like I've moved on and I'm like wait that like was and what's also crazy is I went to the doctor for the first time like six years oh no like two weeks ago put the cough no well I have a list on my phone called reasons I'm gonna die and it's all of my that's manifesting well it's it's I didn't know what else to name it but it's it's things to tell
Starting point is 00:24:54 the doctor to look at like this put your finger in my mouth like feel around just make sure like this mole like a rat whatever whatever i don't have any rashes sorry i don't know why i said rash stop the word rash just like immediately makes me go you can say anything else but i'm going through this list and the doctor goes like she was like you can pick three like we only 15 minutes and i was like blah blah blah and then she goes do you think anxiety and i go oh god yeah i've always had anxiety and she goes do you take anything and i was like no never taken anything or for my ADHD like never took meds. Get on it.
Starting point is 00:25:28 She prescribes me the same thing as the mom in White Lotus, Lerazepam. I've got it. It's the best. I don't care about anything now. I call her Pam. Two candles on in my house right now. I don't care. That's a myth.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Pam massages my shoulders to go to sleep every night. Love her to bed. Not every now, but I do love her. Yeah, it's as, like, needed. I don't take it like every day, but. Yeah, you shouldn't. It's, well, I have it too. So when I watched White Lotus and she was talking about lorazepam,
Starting point is 00:26:00 I was like, I fully relate to this woman because it's more about having it on me than taking it. Yeah. I'm just knowing. Oh, my God. You're so right. So when she was running out, I was like secondhand anxious for her. Right. Because it's more about knowing that you have them than taking them.
Starting point is 00:26:20 Well, I got it for flights mostly because I randomly started getting scared of heights. I asked a flight attendant, can we fly a little lower? Oh, and she said, would you like to crash? She laughed. Yeah. But I was like, okay, this is wrong. Like I now, like I can't do this. I'll be getting on a flight and I'll be like, how far is it to drive?
Starting point is 00:26:37 You know, like in the line. Yeah, that actually happened. I had my first, my very first panic attack was on an airplane. And it was, I had spent days in Vail, Colorado. I was like, I don't know if it was the altitude, which doesn't usually affect me. but I had drank wine the night before. Not an obnoxious amount, just the normal amount. And I get on this plane and all of a sudden I go, holy, why is my body like blacking out?
Starting point is 00:27:05 Why am I getting hot? Why am I sweating? Why am I seeing stars? And then I was like, I'm going to have a panic attack. And I'm sitting next to an old couple. And so I felt stuck. And I was like, if I need to get out, I can't. And I start panicking, panicking.
Starting point is 00:27:17 I jumped over them, started running for the door. the lady at the front, they'd already closed the door. She's like, what are you doing? I was like, I'm having a panic attack. I locked myself in a bathroom. And they're trying to get me out because I was like, I'm having a panic attack. Lock it, the door. I started feeling like I thought I was dying.
Starting point is 00:27:37 I was like, this is how she goes in the bathroom. Your heart's like. On a plane out of my chest. And I couldn't breathe. Like, could not breathe. And that's where the Larazepam comes in with Xanax because I, either or. But I just like to know I have it on the plane in case because I am so scared. But I don't have a fear of heights.
Starting point is 00:27:57 I don't have a fear of flying. I now got my dog has always been trained by a service trainer. So I have a golden retriever that can travel with me sometimes, which actually really helps. But at the end of the day, Pam. Yep. Yeah. Well, you should get on something. I'm Selexa for life.
Starting point is 00:28:13 I was going to. And then, well, I got it. I got it. I can't remember which one they gave me for anxiety. Oh. But they said that it might make you gain weight for a little bit. And I just got a jaw line back and I was not willing to risk that. I'll deal with anxiety.
Starting point is 00:28:29 I needed to keep my head above sea level for a bit. So I got some head shots coming up. I need to be locked in for. Oh, my God. In fact, give me something to be anxious about. Yeah. Actually, like without even working out, you're probably burning calories just like panicking. That's the fun age of 40 and being on something for anxiety, depression.
Starting point is 00:28:50 I've been on it for eight years. It changed my whole life. Yeah. I'm the best version of myself. But they're like, oh, how's the sex drive? And the sex drive. And I go, and so this, my friend who's actually a gynecologist, was telling me about, I can't remember the name of the medicine, but then also a scream cream that you put on.
Starting point is 00:29:10 What you just? Scream cream? Yep. Why not? And she goes, yeah. I'll bite. What scream cream? And she goes, I said, what are the side effects?
Starting point is 00:29:18 She goes, weight loss. I went. Give me the scream cream. I don't know. It makes sex better. Oh, my gosh. Scream cream. This is what happens when you get into your 40s.
Starting point is 00:29:28 Alexa, add scream cream. To the death list? To something to talk to your doctor about? To the death list. I'm scared about what's on your list. Nothing. But do you realize the power of writing something out? I love lists.
Starting point is 00:29:40 But don't do it for something bad. Those are just reminders because I have ADHD. Okay. But maybe let your ADHD forget about the bad things. I forget about everything Same, I mean I don't know how I got here Actually, where am I?
Starting point is 00:29:54 Where do I live? What day is it? Who are you with last night? Random friends here Chosen friends? Chosen friends. Oh. Why?
Starting point is 00:30:02 Well, I saw that there's like rumors that you're dating someone now. Yeah, I know. There was like one clip from this weekend. You actually didn't even look that I mean, I'm not going to force you into talking about it, but you did it. It was like, you're like laughing
Starting point is 00:30:14 and having like a good time and feel like, they're dating. I've never seen level like i i keep thinking there's like another clip out there that like exist maybe i didn't remember we're making out or something like right yeah no you didn't even kiss no and people just jump to conclusions they're having fun everyone's having fun well and that's allowed are you having fun i'm having a blast yeah to be 29 again so you just get to like go drink margs with alex earl and like what's why is there a rumor that you're on summer house i think because i'm
Starting point is 00:30:43 just friends with everybody oh oh so you're okay so bravo i'm not like one of the the Bravo Girlies. I don't watch. I've never seen Summerhouse. I've never seen Real Housewives, nothing. So I never know what's going on. And Amanda was like, is he going on Summer House? And I was like, I'll ask. I was wondering why she just followed me back. Yeah. I was curious. No, I'm not on, I'm not on Summer House. But like, can you make a came out? Yeah, I'll be there a lot. So there's like, I don't know how this works. So there's cast members and then people can just come in and party. Like friends of, yeah. Do you have to sign like an NDA? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. That makes sense. Okay. But I like know the
Starting point is 00:31:18 basically the whole cast they're all so nice and so sweet Wes is one of my best friends I'm obsessed with him yeah he's the best salt of the earth he really is and he was getting a hard time when he was on my podcast and I was just like this poor guy like he you make a mistake and people just want to obsess over somebody making a mistake online right and the poor he's just so he really is salt of the earth
Starting point is 00:31:42 he's such a little nugget he couldn't I mean he couldn't win no way and he had to just kind of like surrender And he did. He did a good job at that. Me? I wouldn't be able to just surrender. I'd be like...
Starting point is 00:31:54 What would you do? I don't know what I would do, but I'd be like... Like, I feel like I, if I was on reality TV and I got a bad edit or I got something or another, I would feel like I was in an insane asylum trying to convince everyone. I'm not insane and they go, sure, sure, take your pills. Yeah. The pills that make you go insane. That's kind of me.
Starting point is 00:32:14 I do that. I feel like people have always loved to hate me for a hot minute, still do not as much anymore. Maybe it depends what's in the media at the time. Right. But people just change their mind so fast. They do, yeah. Like they will love you one day, hate you the next, build you back up the next day, take you down the next. Like they like feeling in control.
Starting point is 00:32:34 So you can't let them win. It's cyclical. And it's also like every time I see someone like get the love train and it's like this person is. It girl, it boy, like, this is the people's princess. Yeah. I'm like, tick, talk. Yeah, it's scary. You don't want to go up there.
Starting point is 00:32:54 No, something. No, it's scary. Someone will be like, wait, I don't like this old clip, like from this episode, whatever. And then it's like, oh, wait, I hate him too now. I hate her too. And because think about a conspiracy theorist. They are so smart and they can make anyone, they're like Bachelor editors. They can make anyone look like anything that they want to.
Starting point is 00:33:15 And they're genius and they'll put things together to make anyone believe. Like, I'll be guilty of it. I'm like, Justin Bieber sang in this one song, Selena didina, my visa. And I was like, his visa. Yep, they paid him to be in a relationship with Haley. And she's his visa. That's the only reason he's here.
Starting point is 00:33:33 And it's like, no, he was just saying like she's his forever. And because he's Canadian. And that's now they're married. So he's a green card. No, he doesn't need her. That's why it's so important for people to have jobs. What was your job before all of this? I worked in tech.
Starting point is 00:33:49 You did? Yeah. And Austin? Mm-hmm. Okay, so you went to school in Austin. You got a job in tech. And then what, did you always kind of want to, like, dabble in comedy? Or did you just not even realize you were funny?
Starting point is 00:34:00 Or how did this happen? No, I didn't realize until I got fired from both of my postgrad jobs that I was simply not qualified for either. I was just personality hire. I was fun to be around at the office. That's nice. Which, like, I do respect because it's like you are spending more time with people that you work with than your family. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:19 So you should hire based on personality. Like people can learn jobs or they can use chat GPT, I guess. Yeah, but I actually do think from working in a restaurant industry for 10 years into like coming into the world I am, I realize how important social skills are. You can't teach them. No. And it's, you can teach, you know, like using a computer or certain software or whatever. but you really can't teach social skills. You either are in a position where you learn them
Starting point is 00:34:48 and like you're humbled over and over and then you just learn them or you'd never learn them. And you can just tell those people right from the start at an airport. Yep. Do airports bother you as much as they bother me? They do now because I've been traveling a lot.
Starting point is 00:35:02 But I used to love them. They used to be so peaceful for me. Oh, yeah, that'll blow it for you. Once you travel a lot, it does. I'm like, I need to like check myself anytime I'm in an airport, so I'm like, calm down. Wait, what's going on with you at the airport? Oh, I mean, you can't do anything.
Starting point is 00:35:20 I'm just irritable. Oh, I see. Okay. From the second I walk in. Yeah. Anything I need to, I actually do need to check myself because I'm like, that should not be irritating me, this person's, it could be their first time on a trip that they, like, work their ass off for for this one trip.
Starting point is 00:35:36 And they're so excited. And I'm like, you didn't put your shoes in the bin? Yeah. I get too mad. I will say that some of, like, probably, obviously give some grace to people that, like, don't travel a ton. But, like, if you don't sack your bin after you take your stuff out, you really are just as bad as someone at the grocery store not putting their cart back in the, in the cart slot thing. I completely agree. I completely agree.
Starting point is 00:35:59 Like that's, I had a conversation with my friend Mike Dunn who said he wants to start an app that's for people to go to flight school that teaches you etiquette for an airport. How good is that? Airport etiquette would be very, very valuable. Airport etiquette school for everyone to go through. So no matter if you're a first-time flyer or if you've been doing this for years. It wouldn't hurt to have a reminder. Maybe a refresher class. My reminders would be stack your bins.
Starting point is 00:36:23 My reminders would be like just move your bag along. Put your stuff in as you're moving. Like let's all have a sense of urgency. Take yourself and walk and go put your shoes on over there. Yes. Uh-huh. My reminder would be just packing better. I have an old dirty, this decrepit backpack that I've traveled with for
Starting point is 00:36:40 10 years like there's skittles and sand at the bottom like I'm like get a new backpack you know like stuff like that would be nice but that's just like I bet someone would send you a bag if you'd like to talk to the camera and ask them for it hi can I have a backpack what do you look for to me well I don't even know this is how my brain works I get on and I type in backpack and I get overwhelmed at the options and I lock my phone and I say skittles and sand it is for me Aw, it's like your little comfort blankie, your backpack. It makes me uncomfortable. I always get off.
Starting point is 00:37:14 They found a pocket knife in it. I was like, I don't even remember ever having a pocket knife. Do you know that I got stopped for having a B-O-M-B once? I feel scared even saying it. Wait, I didn't have one. You, okay. Just to be clear. How much sparkling wine did you drink and where'd you get it?
Starting point is 00:37:33 So I have a toiletry bag that's really cute and it folds, folds, folds, and it has a hanger at the bottom. Okay. So that I hang it up. That hanger was going into my Nutraful hair bottle. And my phone cord was wrapped around it. I see. And in the machine, the girl actually recognized me. She watched The Bachelorette.
Starting point is 00:37:55 And so when she came out with my bag, they were calling everybody. And they're like, we need security. And I was like, what's it going on? I started laughing. I went, what I have something bad in there? And she goes, it's not good. And I went, what? And I was laughing and she was like, I know who you are.
Starting point is 00:38:11 So like, I'm pretty sure it's not what we think it is. But like, this is bad. Oh my gosh. That would be the perfect. Okay, hang on before I even finish. That was it. They came and opened my bag and that's what it was. And they're like how perfectly everything was laying in your bag looked like a B-O-N.
Starting point is 00:38:25 I can't even. I can't say it. There's no way for me to worry what I was going to say. They called a security for like a dog came. And I was like, what is happening? And it was because of the way everything was sitting in my bag. wow so i would learn that on etiquette school of how to pack are they pulling bags based on things that look like explosives yeah what do you mean you're just gonna let that side of it's not a better
Starting point is 00:38:47 way it's 2025 i always think that i'm like why are we still seeing just like an x-ray vision of like something green and black in there also bombs don't look like cartoons like can't you just see what goes through the scanner like real camera like just or like radioactive like if it looks Like it would, wouldn't it exude some, like, have a force field around? I'm like so dumb, but like, it'd be like putting out fumes or something, right? I couldn't believe it. I was like, holy shit. I'm so sorry.
Starting point is 00:39:16 You guys thought that that's, that was my character. You know what happened to me, like this year? What? They pull my bag. Same thing. They're reaching to the bottom. They go, do you have a gun. I go, I do not have, look at me.
Starting point is 00:39:30 Like, what? Like, I'm a khaki pan. What am I going to do with a gun? And they go, what is this? And they pull out the scene. They go, is this a clip for a gun? Like that you love it. It's got the bulletin in the magazine.
Starting point is 00:39:44 I go, that is a harmonica. So that is a harmonica. So innocent. You're like, and I truly never bought that. Like, I don't know where I have no idea. I don't know how to play. Never have played. Don't come for me.
Starting point is 00:40:00 Don't at me. But I love airplane food. I've talked about this so many times. I do. I genuinely look forward to it. I know it might be weird, but there's just something about getting that little tray of food that makes me so happy. So imagine my excitement when I found a meal delivery service that gives me the same cozy, curated feeling, but like made by actual chefs. Not flight attendants, just warming it up in a tinfoil thing. Okay. Anyways, it's called Cook Unity, and I am fully hooked.

Starting point is 00:45:37 Going about to have first. Oh, well, that, uh, like that blew up in it. It's so confusing to me because it's the same on like my own account where it's, like I write all these jokes. I spend time on these jokes and it's like, okay, okay, okay. Parking ticket blew up. What? The parking ticket.
Starting point is 00:45:53 Isn't that, why are you scaring me? The parking ticket? Yeah. Isn't that what blew up on that made you go viral? It was like something about a parking ticket. Oh, I used to get so many parking tickets in L.A. That's why like every now and then I'm like here in New York, I'm like, I'm saving so much money. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:07 Even though everything is twice as expensive here. Sorry, I keep cutting you off. No, no, no. It's just like the first thing I was like, you're joking me. We spend so much time on all these bits. I know. And we type out thoughts and we go over things. And then someone's, the funniest thing to me in the world is when someone's like mixes
Starting point is 00:46:25 up a word or says something funny. Yeah, like a Freudian slip? That's funny to me, but like, she goes, well, luckily I have purse. And I'm like, I have purse. Like, I'm like, you skipped, like, I have a purse. And she's like, I have purse. And all of a sudden, I'm an Armenian man. And I'm like, luckily, I have purse.
Starting point is 00:46:45 And she's like, I didn't say that. And I go, I have purse. I have shoe. I have hat on head. And she's like, then she's dying. And then I'm like, this is the stupidest thing ever. but like you just all of a sudden feel like you're on crack. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:57 It's so funny because I was thinking about like stuff of mine that's if it's ever gone viral. It's like my most embarrassing moments. Like it's not something I tried to be funny. It's not something that I was like, this is so great. I spent so much time on this. Because it's real. Yeah, I feel like that happens for everybody. It's like we're all trying so hard.
Starting point is 00:47:14 And then it's the thing where you don't try hard where it's like, yeah, this is a lesson. Everybody just needs to be who the fuck they are. Authenticity cells. It really does. Mm-hmm. Authenticity and sex. Oh, and sex, yes. I learned that on The Bachelorette. So wait. So you switched, you got fired from two jobs, switched careers, you went viral, and now you're living in New York, hanging out with Bravo people. Like, what? How did we get here and where are we going from here? Cotton I Joe.
Starting point is 00:47:44 Wait, why did you say then? Where did he come from? Where did he go? Okay. That's so weird. So I was thinking about a video that ended up. getting way more views than I even wanted it to. And it was me just dancing in a bathing suit to Cotton Eye Joe and smacking my own butt. And people were like mortified. Authenticity, check, sex, check.
Starting point is 00:48:06 You nailed it. But I didn't mean, I was like, but people weren't happy. They were like, this is amazing. They were like, you're weird. Somebody check in on her. It's giving Britney Spears. Oh, God. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:17 But I was like, I was literally just having like a moment where I was like, Cotton Eye Joe. It's every, I grew up in Canada. We played that at every. hockey game from like PC hockey till the NHL caught my Joe will come on. Anyways, where did you come from? Where are you going?
Starting point is 00:48:32 So I was in, I worked at Bumble for a while, like right when it started, and then went to Bird, the scooter company in L.A. That's why I moved to L.A. And then COVID had. And then I moved down to Orange County. And I was posting videos. I was living with my friends too, which like, that's like a recipe for success.
Starting point is 00:48:53 You think so? Online is like people are like, oh, they're like, they're having fun. Like, I want to be there with them. Yeah. And I was just posting, I was hanging out. And then my friends, yeah. And then my friends began to go back to work. And I was like, wait, what am I doing?
Starting point is 00:49:07 I need a job. And I couldn't get one. I applied to like 99 jobs. Stop. And I couldn't get one. And then started posting about how hilarious my interviews were going, whatever. And like, it was funny. And then I was like, oh, TikTok's taking off.

Starting point is 00:50:04 I've performed there. Zanis is awesome, isn't it? I have no business being there. Every time I'm on stage there, I look at the Wall of Fame after and I go, Adam Sandler? Like, what? No, it's actually insane. But it's so iconic.
Starting point is 00:50:20 It's so fun. The crowd's amazing. It's just, there's something. about that room. There's something about that room. When I was there last time, they let me stay at the condo that Zanis has.
Starting point is 00:50:30 I probably shouldn't... Oh, yeah. No, yeah. Tell the story. Why? We can decide after. I mean, it was... It's kind of scary.
Starting point is 00:50:36 Like, it's a big condo. It's got like four bedrooms. I had one of my friends stay with me because I was so scared. And we were there. And then I'm sitting downstairs. He had gone up and gone to bed. And then all of a sudden,
Starting point is 00:50:50 through the fire alarm, just water starts pouring through the fire alarm. Oh. And I was like, that's not, it's like the opposite of what should happen for the fire alarm. Was it at sea witches? Like, hecks. I could take your house. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:06 There's something happening in Nashville. Yeah. No, he had like, we had some to drink a little bit. And then I guess he had grown up. Oh, no. And it had clogged the toilet. Oh, no. And the toilet had overflowed.
Starting point is 00:51:21 I love what you're whispering, like, not everybody. Oh, I know. It's just, like, you're scared of the road, but I didn't want to say the road. Oh, yeah, I immediately felt a bit sick. And it had the, it was flooding upstairs, and it was going, I guess the, I don't know how the drain leads to. That's poor planning on the house part, but. And then, so then the fire alarms was going off and it won't stop and it's wet. So I had to beat it up with, I had to beat it up with a hammer.
Starting point is 00:51:47 And then I had to text the Zanis manager and be like, hey. Thank you so much for, first of all, thank you so much for letting me stay at the condo. Like this place, I can tell that, oh, if these walls could talk, the stories I'm sure they would tell. Now, if these walls could talk, they'd also say that we're soaking wet because I did flood the house and I did, I do owe you a fire alarm. Oh, thank you so much. And they said, it's all good. I think that they got red of the condo. They did? That's the, that's the word on the street after. Oh, that's funny. Because yeah, I know so many. I mean, Matt Rife when he went there. I went and he's like, I'm staying at the condo.
Starting point is 00:52:23 And I was like, everyone stays at the fucking condo. That was me just humble breaking that I was like that. Oh, you were talking to Matt Rife. Yeah. And so I know he's stayed at the condo. A lot of people, it's so funny to bring him up. Like a lot of people say we have the same build. So I get confused for him a lot.
Starting point is 00:52:37 Same jawline? Same jawline, shoulders, body, back. Humor. Humor. Yeah, all of it. You guys are basically the same. I know. A lot of people say that.
Starting point is 00:52:49 I have a question. Yes. How did you book meet? I want to find my Connor for a podcast. Just because I love a friendship dynamic and I know so many people have shipped you guys so many times because it's just like such good chemistry. But this is what I said even about Dancing with the Stars when I was with Artem on Dancing with Stars. Everyone's like you guys have such good chemistry but like off camera. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:08 We're not friends. But on camera on dancing like dancing chemistry. But you guys are friends and people immediately think if there's chemistry, there must be romance. But you guys just have insane chemistry as podcasts and friends. Yeah. We'll see what happens when we. turn 40 and we're like oh we're both still yeah but um i would love that um so cute it's it's so great like we have great rapport we have nothing in common yeah which i think that that helps a lot
Starting point is 00:53:32 with our conversations because it's like we actually learn a lot she like would never go do the surf lodge thing and i would never read a book so like it works or yeah i wish i could i don't have the attention span i would have to take i would have to start medication did i yeah that's books put me right to sleep i've ruined many a book because i fall asleep and then the pages are soaked because i've drool what about tv shows i can barely watch a tv when i finish a movie you're like and i'm not on my phone i'm like i'm god you know like i can't believe i'm better than everyone no lyric i'm like and that's such the bar is so low yeah like but i want to read a book that's my goal is to read a book this year okay i have a few
Starting point is 00:54:17 suggestions for you? Do you really? Like what? If you were to read a book, would it have to be like spicy, spooky? This could pop off as like potentially not red flag, but just like, oh no, what? But I read like I like self-help books. The same reason, like if I go to a movie, like I want to walk out and have my life be different for like two weeks. I think that's more your base flag. I don't think that's a red flag because it means you're working on yourself. Well, I don't even like I'm not even seeking out any like I'm not working through anything. I'm just like, hmm, interesting. Okay, 29, you're not working through anything. You've got life figured out.
Starting point is 00:54:50 Well, I haven't, well, I just started therapy, too. I've had two therapy sessions. I love it. I've been doing therapy for 12 years. Have you? Yeah, it's the best. Well, you do have it all figured out. I'm getting, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:55:01 My therapist this week, I was telling him how I will have something big with a, with a, with a deadline, something that's happening. Like, my shows start back up. I want to work on some new material. Yeah. That's in three weeks. And because of. how big of a project that is that absolutely needs to happen. It's a career project.
Starting point is 00:55:20 Now I've started to go to the doctor for the first time in six years. I'm doing all these little chores that I haven't done that I've been putting off. Yeah. And I can't do that big thing. And he talked for one full minute. And I didn't understand a word. My eyes were crossed. And then at the end of that, he essentially said, I would suggest for you to just do it.
Starting point is 00:55:41 And I was like, oh, okay. And that's our time. Like, here's $300, I guess. That's like Nike. They could have said do it, but that feels too much pressure. So they're like, let's put just in front of it. So just simply do it. Do it.
Starting point is 00:55:57 Yeah. Is it that hard? Oh, my God. Thank you, doctor. You do have a degree, right? Maybe, you know what? I talk about the app better help on this podcast all the time. You could switch therapists at any time.
Starting point is 00:56:11 I know. Well, I haven't been with this young man long enough to, to, to, vouch for his character or not like he might be really good and it's just like a slow burn slow burn um i wasn't expecting a man either to be my therapist really no it was like a random what do you mean you didn't you didn't pick him no it was random it was a man it was a random match you didn't do your research no i closed my eyes and i threw a dart at the wall that's so funny i like stock my like therapist profiles and i break everything down and i go i need them to be opposite of me yeah i need I need like a mother figure, but in a way where she's like, like an old Southern woman teaching me ways that I would have never thought of.
Starting point is 00:56:55 Yeah. I kind of, yeah, I'm the same way. What I don't like right now is that he's like saying I'm right about stuff. And I'm like, you kind of need to tell me I'm wrong. Like this isn't chat GPT. I didn't, like, this is not my trained AI tool. Oh, yeah, because you could. I asked chat GPT the other day to come up with like, if you were to explain Caitlin.
Starting point is 00:57:15 Bristow without telling her job, her accomplishments, shows she's been on how would you describe her? And it really knew me. It's scary. Like that's, it's scary. And one time I made a really dark joke and the AI went, ha ha, now that's my kind of humor. And I was like, no, it's my kind of humor. And then I realized this you are. You are. Yeah. You've created. Yeah. I know it's a little bit freaky. People are using chat GPT for therapy, by the way. I do. Oh, you do? I'm not, I, can you look at chat GPT? This is how we're going to end this podcast. My chat GPT history. Do we want to, do we want to air this out? Yeah. It's a lot of severance. I watched the show severance and I need a lot of help. So chat GPT helps me with that. Oh, troll clapback ideas. Okay, that's good. Like I'll put in
Starting point is 00:58:07 what they say and I'm like, come up with a funny guy back. Wow, look at you. Utilizing. Carbon monoxide poisoning side effects? Side effects. Business ideas. Flirty Aspen outfits. Was it able to pull those? Let's see.
Starting point is 00:58:22 Like photos? It gave me flirty and funny Aspen captions instead. Yeah. And I wasn't looking for that because listen to this one. Looking for a mountain daddy who can handle this much fringe.
Starting point is 00:58:32 That'll get... I would never say that, Chad. You're getting married within the month. We're in boots for the plot manifesting a flannel wearing mountain daddy. So when I'm using Chad GGBT and it gives me something like that, I shut the app down. I go, now there's no way Chad GVT is coming for my job unless it's for like boomers. Okay, well now I typed in.
Starting point is 00:58:55 I roasted you. Okay, quickly. Perfect. Connor Wood is the kind of guy who Venmo's a girl $4 for half the Uber. Well, that's talking about that Canadian hockey player, Connor would. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. He doesn't know who I am. No, I specifically put in the comedian.
Starting point is 00:59:10 who now lives in New York. You look like the guy who tells girls he's just chill, but he has notes app full of apology drafts. That was, that's weird. How did it? It listened to me. It listened to you. I talked about that today.
Starting point is 00:59:24 How tall are you? Six four. Let the record show too. I'm going to Turkey. By the time this comes out, I will be six four. Are you getting knee implant? I'm getting it and just putting, I'm getting bigger feet or something.
Starting point is 00:59:38 I don't know. Oh, God. Getting my knees height. I'll go with you to Turkey. I could use a new hairline. You do not need a new hairline. Let's focus on the fibroid and then we'll do hair. Yeah, but fibroids the gateway surgery to a hair.
Starting point is 00:59:51 I've heard that. Once the fibroids out, it's like, what else can I take? No, because I did get an upper bleft surgery, and apparently that's the gateway drug to, like, more surgeries because it was so easy. And then I was like, well, I should probably get my tits done. So then I did, and now I want a fibroid removed and now I want a new hairline. What's next? I don't know. Your knee implants.
Starting point is 01:00:10 I'll take you with me. Yeah. I need new knees. I want to get ahead of it. Okay. I guess we should wrap this up. Tell everybody where they can find you. I am at Fibula, F-I-B-U-L-A, like the leg bone that I'm getting extended in Turkey.
Starting point is 01:00:24 Yeah, wait. Why are you fibula? I just liked the word. Got it. I have whatever that disease is that I have fibula. Where I just like it rolls off the tongue. Yeah. It feels round, you know, like the word.
Starting point is 01:00:37 Fibula. And I'm Connor Wood. But I'm on TikTok, Instagram. And not SummerHouse. And I'm not on SummerHouse. And I am on tour if you want to come. That would be so fun. Well, this will come up before September 5th.
Starting point is 01:00:49 I will also be at your show September 5th. We should all have like a vino party. We'll go to the condo. We'll go to the fucking condo. We'll go up in the toilet and flood it for old time. It would be like a pool party, but like inside. Oh my God, fun. Instead, we could just have a pool party at my house.
Starting point is 01:01:06 I forgot you have a pool. And we'll all get the flex. Yes, bugs and die together. And die. It'll be like a cult. I can't wait. And then people will talk about us on Netflix forever. That's important to leave a legacy.
Starting point is 01:01:20 Yeah. Yeah. That's ours. Well, thank you for having me. This was so fun. Thank you for coming. That was, I didn't look. I looked at my notes once.
