Direct from the Broski Nation headquarters in Los Angeles, California. This is The Brozky Report with your host, Brittany Brosky. This is my own, I'm a loser, baby. Wow, wow, wow, wow. Guys, what the fuck does this mean? Fastest lap in F1 history, average speed of 264. 682 kilometers an hour. What the hell is a kilometer an hour?

What the fuck is a kilometer? Hey, Siri. How fast in miles per hour is 264.6 kilometers an hour? 164.4 miles an hour. Damn. It's not even that fast.

Damn, it's not even that fast. I'll do fast than that on the highway. Y'all ever driven? Y'all ever driven in a back roads, Texas Highway at about 11 p.m. But here's the thing with Texas highways, you got to slow down because there are those speed traps. They'll get you.

Okay, you're going real fast. You're doing about 90. You're going to do about 90 on a two-way lane, on a two-way road. And then you're going to slow down. You go through a town. You hit a town, hit about 35 them cops waiting for you. Those cops, for real, if you're not from Texas, I don't know how speed traps work in other parts of the South,

but damn, those cops wait for you. At the, girl, when it goes from 75 to 60, those cops will get you right there. You know how fast you're going. Fuck you. You know damn well what you're doing. You're trying to get the damn tax dollars for the county. I pay my taxes.

I'm not the one. I'm a loser, baby. Why did I think Beck and Russ were the same person? Like they're not even in the same What is Russ saying What they want? What they want? What they want? What they want? What they want? I used to love that song in college

Why do people hate Russ? He's just corny. Did he do something? I bet he did some. He looks like that type of dude who would do something. You know what I mean? I bet he's done some stuff. I don't even want to know what bro's done. He opened for Ed Shearing. How does that make sense? I saw Ed Sharon at some fucking stadium because, of course, his team lovingly and very generously reached out

to my team and said, if Brittany wants to come see Ed Sherin, we've got... Hey, I'm on the way. Hey, shh, shh, shh, I'm on the way. Shout out the Brosky Nation members on Ed Shearin's team, or Ed Shearne's label, because wow.

That man, I mean, it's him and a damn guitar. And he's up there fucking... fighting for his life. He's making beats on the guitar and shit. He's just stemming out on the fucking guitar for two and a half hours every night. Bro's got a baby and a wife. And just the most colorful straight guy tattoos you could ever, ever think about. And it's fine.

It's fine. I'm fine with Ed Sharon's tattoos. Okay? Just stemming out on the guitar, just hitting a full stem. I love it. I love to watch people hit their life purpose. His life purpose is to stem on a rotating stage. And he does it better than about anybody I've ever seen.

But why did Russ open for him? Is my eternal question. It is my eternal question. And what did Russ do? Might be worth it, Google. What did Russ do? What they want? What they want?

What they want? Let's hit R slash rap. We're making it to Reddit. Oh, okay, so he had disrespected little peep maybe. He is controversial because of how much self-confidence he has. Bro, fucking Russ Glazer on the R-slash rap thread. Bro, you're on the R-slash-R-thread defending Russ. You're not going to win, my king.

Hey, my king, give it up. Russ makes $15 million a year, and that's a lot more than most rappers. His strategy was that posted weekly of him rapping over beats. on SoundCloud. His music's very realistic. He's also human. He makes mistakes, which resulted in rapper shitting on him. In an alternate reality, maybe even this one, I would hope this is how Bro Ski Nation defends me, you know? People are fucking mad because she's just, she's just confident, because she raps over SoundCloud beats. Okay. He took a gigantic L from me when he said that the reason why hip-hop is the way it is right now is because producers are making whack beats.

Metro Booman hilariously responded with him holding a sign that says Russ is whack. Okay, bro. What they want, what they want, what they want. What the fuck is up, you guys? Seriously, lots to talk about today. I've got a lot of questions that I need to Google today. Mainly number one is, uh, I feel like, The number one thing I really wanted to say is that my tonsils are kind of touching each other today and they're filled with tonsil stones and I really don't know how to, at what age is it too?

Like, it's not cool to get your tonsils out. Like if I'm pushing 30, I'm 28, careful. Hey, careful now. Easy, boy. Whoa. I'm pushing 30. If I'm like, I'm in my tonsils out because they're touching, you know what I mean? Because that happens.

And oh my God, don't even get me started on when I get a head cold. Then bitches touch. Them bitches want to kiss so bad. The sexual tension between my tonsils when I have a fucking head cold. They want to get close and personal. They want a spoon. And I'm like, guys, can you please stop?

Guys, can't you please stop? I have stuff to do. I have to talk for a little. And then they start kissing, and they start giving each other sloppy. Stop! Guys! I'm punching myself in the throat.

Stop! I said! What the hell is I talking about? At what age is it not okay to get your tonsils out? That's such a juvenile all like childish-ass thing to have done. Like, have your tonsils removed? Isn't that like a really painful surgery, too?

Can you... Why did I say whee? Wee. That's such a wimpy little noise. Here's a question, and I kind of mean this half serious, half joking. Can girls be wimps? I feel like when I hear wimp,

I think of a wimpy dude. Can people who are not boys be wimps? I don't think so. I think that's my hot take. Wimp is a strictly masculine term. I'm enforcing the gender binary on the term wimpy. I've never met a wimpy girl. Can you win, when, can you get your tonsils removed as an adult?

What they want, what they want, what they want. Yes, it is possible to get your tonsils removed in a surgical procedure called a tonsillectomy. Reasons for it. Obstructive sleep apnea. Difficulty swallowing or breathing due to enlarged tonsils and tonsil stones. Yeah. Shit, girl. Because here's the thing.

What do tonsils do? Tonsils catch... What do... I'm going to guess. What do tonsils do? This needs to be sponsored by, like, WebMD or some bullshit. The way that half of this podcast is me Googling medical ailments and how does the human body work is truly astounding.

Like, you would think that I would have learned something by this point in my Victorian laboratory. How do tonsils work? Tonsils work as a first-line defense of the immune system, trapping and filtering out germs like bacteria and viruses that enter through the nose and mouth. So my next question in this line of thinking was going to be, why would you ever want to get that removed? But, of course, we have preemptively answered that with sometimes they can be more harmful than beneficial. Sometimes they can obstruct. Sometimes they can harbor bacteria and infection, right? And make it worse. Maybe sometimes it's better to have them removed.

When I was a child, I had tubes put in my ears. And I'm 28, and I'm just now wondering why? Why tubes in ears? Ear tubes, also known as mirroring godamy tubes or grommets, are small tubes inserted into the eardrum to improve drainage and ventilation in the middle ear. Yeah, I must have had earaches all the time. I always had a thing about, and I still do as an adult, I think it's like a trauma thing.

I can't go too deep in the water. Actually, I bet there's some community out there. Anybody feeling me? Are y'all fucking with me? Are y'all fuck with me? It's fuck with me Friday. You're all fucking with me? Has anyone else experienced, like,

all your friends are playing in the pool? They're throwing those heavy little things down, the, like, fetch for human children, where you throw the weights down in the pool, and then you go, oh, I get it! And you all raise and you have to like go to the bottom of the pool, get it and come back up and like whoever got. You know what I mean?

I could never play that game because my ears are popping and filling with water and I'm screaming and crying and vomiting. Not vomiting. That was me being dramatic. But I am screaming and crying. Because I don't know, dude. I used to have a horrible time on planes as well. It's way better now that I'm an adult.

And probably because of my mirroring god of me. Because I had I had tubes put in and then I had them removed. And I had them removed. I had one removed in high school, dude. that's humiliating. What do you mean I'm 15, 16 years old? I'm like, my ear tubes. Sorry, speaking to my good ear, I had my tube removed. Your tube? Yeah, my middle ear tube. It helps with my balance. Times? I really am Lisa from the Simpsons. Most times I'm the fucking neighbor's kid. Come on, what's his name? Simpset Mill, Mill House. I'm fucking Millie. I'm fucking Millie.

House, dude. Oh, I'm Millhouse. Milhouse. Van Hewton, Van Houten, bro. I'm fucking Millhouse. She just retired in 2025, the girl who plays Mill House. That's nuts. Yeah, I'm equal parts Millhouse, equal parts, Lisa. And I want to be Maggie. Maggie's the coolest character in that whole damn show. Maybe Marge is. Marge, I understand the older I get. I'm like, Marge is so valid. But at the same time, why are you with Homer? Like, I want to shake her the way I want to shake fucking Carrie Bradshaw. Why are you with him? Why are you with him? I came across this YouTube video on my YouTube homepage about an hour ago, because I was watching Mina Lee. Thank you. As I do when I eat, dinner, lunch, and breakfast. And this creator made this video that was like,

I want to kill Mr. Big. Like, I fucking hate Mr. Big. And it was a 40-minute long video that was talking about, and the thumbnail said, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him like a hundred times with him in front of it. I feel that, by the way, hey, I feel that. Also, not to ruin and just like that for you, by the way, and just like that is not worth watching.

Big dies in the first episode. The first episode. I said, obviously I'm not watching that. because as much as I hate Big and as much as I wish that honestly, though, Carrie and Big deserve each other, I've always said that. Dying? Killing him off? And not having Samantha in this series, you just fuck yourself. You totally fuck yourself.

I'm not watching this bullshit. Okay? Fucking Mr. Big. Anyway, Millhouse. I am Milhouse. I'm Milhouse and I'm Lisa. Oh, March. Why was March with Homer?

I mean, I get it, I guess, right? Like, I get it to a certain extent. Like, you guys were young and in love, and he used to make you laugh. Oh, how you would laugh. And now he's fat and balding and, like, is bad at his job and is an idiot. Like, is an oaf. He's a fucking oaf. An oaf.

Do you know what? I also want... Who was I watching where this word came up? And me and Tato, my bestie Taylor. We're laughing about it. Oh my God, orc. I said, you look like an ork. And she said, you're a bitch.

And then we started laughing. Because when we see fucked up things online, and let me know if y'all do this with your best friend as well. When we see fucked up things online, we'll sit it to each other and say, looks like you. And I said her something one day. It was like this big monster. And she said, I said, looks like you. She said, what is that? I said, an orc.

Ork. a bullish, a brutish, humanoid race of monsters from J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth fantasy. Yeah, I said you look like a fucking org. She said, fuck you. And I laughed. Anyway, I also said she looked like mudang. And I couldn't remember how to say mudang. And I said, me dong. And that's funny. That's funny. You just wouldn't understand. Okay. What the hell was I talking about? Tubes in my ears. Tubs in my ears. Ants in my pants. Finger in my butt. Start digging in your butt. Start digging in your butt. Start digging in your butt twin. Start digging in your butt twin. Start digging in your butt twin. Start digging in. All right. Let's move on to something I wanted to Google.

bleach things. Have you ever wondered that? Like, why the fuck is it taking the paint? The pigment in the paint off of my car. It's taking the pigment out of clothing. It's taking the pigment out of rugs. It's taking the pigment out of wood. It's taking the, it's, it's, does it affect metal? Yeah, I guess it rust metal. Well, the sun doesn't rust metal. The oxygen russ metal. It oxidizes. It fucking oxidizes. And the reason that bronze and copper turn blue, because it oxenizes. Just started drooling. The sun bleaches things because

it's ultraviolet rays break down the chemical bonds in dyes and pigments, causing them to lose their ability to absorb... Okay, you just lost me. I need to lock in. It's happening again.

We're doing... We already did Brittany Medical Hour. We did STEM Hour, and now we're going to do Science Hour. So here we go. UV rays. break down the chemical bonds and dyes and pigments, causing them to lose their ability to absorb and reflect light in the same way they

wants it, rendering them colorless or faded. This process known as photodegradation occurs when the high-energy photons in UV light, high-energy photons in UV light, provide enough energy to break these bonds, leading to a chemical reaction called oxidation, bro! Why? Because it gets oxidized. I'm Milhouse. While the color doesn't physically go anywhere, the molecule structure changes, and it no longer reflects the color that defined it.

Can you reverse sun bleaching? No, you cannot truly reverse sun bleaching because it causes irreversible damage to the materials, pigments, or DNA. However, you can't treat the appearance of sun damage in several ways. dye the fabric to restore lost color, though the damage to the fabric strength may be permanent. Hmm. Okay, okay, okay. So the UV breaks down the pigments in the materials. That's so crazy that the UV can bleach your hair and fabric, but it'll darker your skin, bro.

UV's fucking crazy. It's fucked. Okay. Honestly, that really doesn't answer my question, because I don't. I don't understand why. Like, I still want to get down to the why. Why does UV break down the chemical bonds? UV light breaks molecules apart because its short wavelength provides enough energy for

molecules. Getting pissed off. Getting pissed off because I have to focus. I feel like I'm back in fucking school about some bullshit I don't care about. And if there's any Broski Nation chemists, any Broski Nation physizzolyphysologists, guys, I respect you deeply, I cannot talk to you. We have nothing in common. I don't know the first damn thing about this. Physics in high school was truly the course I struggled with the most ever in my life. Physics? Physics and what was the other one? I really did not like chemistry, but I got

through it because chemistry after a while ended up being a math problem, right? And I'm like, I wasn't the best at math, but I figured it out. I had a grasp on it. And I was able to to be taught. Physics just never computed for me, which is very interesting because physics is just the explanation for how things work, which I'm very interested in. I'm always trying to figure out how things work. And when it's actually explained to me, like, the, it's compartmentalized into the atomic makeup of things. It just does not compute to me. I'm so sorry. I don't get it. And maybe one day I will, maybe one day I won't. And maybe that day's today. And, you know, when I hear UV, all I think is

V's so insane Travel, unravel, reveling through my brain Ultraviolet from Angus Fong's in Perfect Snugging Your light is ultraviolet Vision so insane Traveler, reveling through my brain Cold and ignited

Your light is ultraviolet Ultraviolet Who sings that Missing Aaron Taylor Johnson in this moment Ultraviolet Angus Thongs in Perfect Snogging The Stiff Dillans Of course it was a stiff Dillans

And were they a real band? Yes The Stiff Dillans were a British rock band Oh my God and that's a cover Of an Anitina song Which is an oh Edna Swap What the fuck? I don't care. Okay, anyway, can you reverse sun bleaching? What the fuck was I googling? Can why can you? Okay. UV light breaks molecules apart because it's short wavelength,

provides enough energy for a molecule's electrons to jump to a higher energy state, weakening or breaking chemical bonds. Okay, that makes sense to me. Short wavelength to provide enough energy for a molecule's electrons to jump to a higher energy state. Here's my question that I truly just marvel at sometimes, okay? Who the hell came up with that? And who the hell tested it? And who the hell was like, shout out, twin? Hell yeah, twin, you were right.

Yeah, twin, we took your theory and we tested it and you were right. This process called a photochemical reaction, sorry, me marveling at the history of physics, of just like higher level like physics, like physics research and theory, just marveling. And how much farther along could we be in physics research and our understanding of the natural world if we let women into research institutions way earlier than we did? How about women and people of color?

How much fucking farther along could we have been? Because you guys were busy being fucking white supremacists. You held us all back. You fucked yourself. And then you said, oh, we can't figure it out. And then you had everybody else come in and say, we'll do it. And then you guys took credit for it.

I'm pissed off. Okay. This process called a photochemical reaction can cause molecules to change or fall apart entirely because shorter wavelength light carries more energy. UV light is more effective at breaking bonds and damaging molecules, including DNA, than longer wavelength visible light. Okay, the more you know. That makes sense to me, I guess.

I don't fucking know. Another thing I wanted to Google, why is coffee in Italian? And let me clarify before I Google this. Your coffee order is always in Italian. Americano Capuchino. Flat white. Espreso, latte. Coffee with leach.

I think that, well, here's my question. because coffee beans are not only local to Italy, right? Like, they come from everywhere. In fact, they import coffee beans. Import. Import. You all know that thing in the English language about if it's a versus, if it's a, Hello guys.

Hello America. Welcome back to the British Report. Wow. Ata da-da-da-da-da-da-da-a-a-a-a-a-afro. Afro. fuck you know the thing about in the english language when it's a noun like like report okay for example i have the report or i have something to report does that make sense it's an import but i'm importing something got you got it it's about the emphasis on the vowel it's about the emphasis on the

the first or last vowel. And there's something similar in Spanish that's not actually similar at all, but I am going to say it anyway because now it's on my mind. How to pronounce a rule of thumb for how to pronounce a word in Spanish, if you don't know, and if it doesn't have a tilde, an accent on it, it's the second to last vowel sound, the second to last vowel sound, okay? So, like if the word is nieve, N-I-E-E-E, which means snow, the two final vowels are both E's, right? But you would pronounce it, nieve, okay, juvia.

Yu-Ju-ya. Okay, I guess that actually kind of disproves what I was about to say, because Yu-Via, that's the third to last. You know what, we'll move on. Why is coffee called a cup of Joe? The exact origin of Cup of Joe is debated, but common theories suggest that either refers to the average Joe, the common man, and his basic drink, or it comes from a combination of the words Java and mocha, Jamoke, or as a reference to Josephus Daniels, the secretary of the Navy who banned alcohol in 1914, leading sailors to drink coffee. Other explanations include it being a marketing term for Joe Martinson's coffee, or a simple shortening of GI Joe after World War II. So it's the same deal as we don't know why it's called a Charlie horse. We just kind of accepted it.

Who the hell was Charlie? Remember we looked that up that one time? It was like the baseball player. There was some shit with a horse. And they were like, yeah, I don't know. I don't retain any of the knowledge that I Google on this podcast. I swear to God, I enter this room. I turn the lights on.

I hit record. Alone, by the way. I'm in here alone. I could only create this magic in here alone. And I black out. for an hour. And I just, I'm gonna be it. And then I leave. And then we upload it. And then people come up to me on the street and they quote my shit back to me. And I go, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Because I blacked out. And ultimately, I think that's, uh, it's a,

it's a blessing and a curse that I don't remember that I can just do this. But then the curse of it is, what the fuck am I talking about? What the fuck are you saying? Okay. And now I'm sitting here like, is that how Nyeva is spelled? Yes, it is. Juvia. Now, why doesn't that have an accent? That's actually going to piss me off now. Vision soundsed. Oh, wow. You're pissing me off, you're pissing me off. You're pissing me off. Juvia. Juvia. Juvia. Okay. So I said it, I pronounced it correctly, however Americanized I did, but in theory, my statement still stands, that it's the second to last, it's the second to last vowel sound. So I guess yeah is a diphthong, so that would count as one vowel sound.

Maybe that's it, okay? Any Spanish speakers in audience who know Spanish phonetics, go ahead and let me know. If you know Spanish grammar syntax and phonetics, go ahead and let me know why that works. I think it's because it's a diphthong. U-U-Bia. Because it's not U-B-A. That would be too. Okay, we can move on.

You hit one of my special interests. Now, hold on, hold on, hold on. Okay, we'll go ahead and do, why is coffee in Italian? Let's go back. Why is coffee in Italian? And this is all from fucking AI overview. I'm like, I genuinely would rather go on Quora.

I mean that. I would rather go on Reddit. I'd rather go on Quora. I'd rather go on Yahoo answers. In Italy, why do they call coffee cafe instead of coffee? Maybe because it's an Italian. Fucking dumbass.

The English word coffee comes from the Dutch word coffee, K-O-F-F-I-E, which in turn comes from the Ottoman Turkish Keva, which was derived from the Arabic kawa. Everything comes back to Arabic where I'm telling you. Everything.

Like Arabic is such a fundamental language. Arabic and, uh, fucking, uh, damn, um, Latin. English is a Germanic language, so many of its, is that true? I thought English was a romance language. Is English a Germanic language? What? Yes, English is a Germanic language, specifically belonging to the West Germanic branch, alongside languages like German and Dutch.

There's no shot English is more closely related to German and Dutch than like Spanish and French. While English has borrowed extensively from, you know what? Actually, hell yeah. While English has borrowed extensively from other languages, particularly Latin and particularly Shut up! Particularly Latin and French, it's core grammar, core vocabulary, and historical origins place it firmly within the Germanic family, which traces back to the Proto-Germanic language. Now, I did know that it was a proto-Germanic language. And what else did I say

a few episodes ago that was a Proto-Indio? I believe that's what it was. It was some word I was looking up. And what does Proto mean? What does the prefix Proto mean? First, foremost, earliest, or original. Damn! That a... Yo! You! Prototype?

First, foremost, earliest, or original. How cool. Proto-language. Protzoan. A microscopic single-celled organism. Proto-language, a hypothetical, reconstructed ancestral language, like proto-Indo-European.

Crazy. Okay, this is cool, but it wasn't the question I googled. Well, I guess it was. Why are coffee orders in Italian? Coffee orders are in Italian because many popular espresso-based drinks, like the cappuccino and cafe latte, originated in Italy, cementing the language's role in coffee culture. Italian culture has a rich history with coffee, starting with its introduction in the 16th century and evolving into the vibrant cafe culture seen today. The terms and names for these drinks, which are built around a shot of espresso, are retained in Italian because they were created there. I guess that makes sense. Coffee was introduced to Italy in the 16th century and quickly became a fixture of social life, with coffee houses, Botteegger del Caffe, becoming centers for intellectual and political discussions.

My tonslers are touching each other. Capuchino, espresso with steamed and foamed milk. Macchiato, espresso with a splash of milk. And what I've been ordering recently is a flat white, which is more espresso less milk, versus a latte, which is more milk, less espresso, versus an Americano, which is espresso, a little bit of water, right? No milk. And if you order an Americano with milk, that I know the bruce is behind the counter

like, this dumb fucking idiot, this stupid idiot, just ordered a stupid idiot drink. you know, bea coffee. I have gone to coffee shops before back when I was still doing cow's milk. I'm off that stuff now. I'm off that stuff, man. I don't mess with that stuff anymore. Back when I was doing cows milk with the dyed, you know, pigment pus and all that bullshit, whatever, added hormonal. This horseshit is in cow's milk.

I don't know. Back when I was doing that and I was like, why is my stomach bleeding? I would literally, they would hand me the coffee. Or, you know what's a more actually apt example of this is a macha latte. You are drinking iced milk. That is just a vessel for milk. You don't like macha. You like milk.

And if you like macha, then put it in water. Okay, mixed up with water. Oh, you don't like it? It's because you like milk. You sissy babies, you just want a sippy cup. and you want some milky. And that's fine, because I was the same way. Until I started, you know, my stomach had blood,

until my gallbladder had been ripped out. So, anyway, you know, something I want to Google is what causes a hemorrhoid, but I really don't want to Google that with you guys. I think that might be a Google idea on my own. I might do that in solo private time, incognito browser. What causes a hemorrhoid? That is two for two. Why is coffee in Italian?

Oh, I wanted to talk about this. There's a new way I've been doing my makeup. And don't look at me today. I feel like not a real person today. I'm not afraid of reds. My makeup artist Tammy gifted me this little four pan, Dior, eye shadow palette. And in it, it's this really beautiful, like, purply red shade,

along with a brown and like a shimmery and then like a black. I've been reaching for this recently because I do this. Okay, I follow this makeup artist on TikTok that I have to give you her name. I think her name is another Hannah. She is Ukrainian American, I believe. Another. Yes, another Hannah. Her username is not underscore another.

underscore Hannah. I love her, dude. I fucking love her. She is the coolest girl I've ever seen in my whole life. She does these fucked up makeup looks and she always does, like the way that she puts the shadow is on the outer third and then on the inner third. Like she makes every look a halo eye. And it's so gag the way that she does it. She is not afraid of a gray. She's not afraid of a dark black. She's not afraid of a pigment, of a shine, of a shimmer, of a glitter, and nothing. She bleaches her brows. She is so cool to me. And she does these looks with, like, the way that she lays and packs the powder, the shadow, is so inspiring to me. And our face shapes and our eye shapes are very different. But I do think that there's a way to translate what she's doing

on her canvas to me on mine. And so that's what I've been trying to do. I take a lot of inspiration from her. She also has some just fantastic views on the beauty industry and just beauty in general and the need for beauty, like the cause for beauty, an argument of beauty for yourself. It's not for the male gaze. It is not for pandering. It's not to paint to make yourself something else.

It is for fun and it's for enhancement. and it's for, you know, our idea of beauty. And by our, I mean people with taste who know what they're doing and who have an artful eye. And that's exactly what she does. She makes art out of these pigments. And it's just, I love watching her stuff. And she made this video a while ago talking about, which is a cause near and dear to my heart, about how she's given up on dating.

Like, it's just really not worth her time. she has her whole life ahead of her. She has so many skills and talents. She has wonderful friendships, a great family. I think she lives in New York. Like, life is happening now. And she doesn't want to waste her life worrying if a man is going to want her. Who gives a fuck if a man's going to want her?

It's her lies. There's so many other things to do. And so, like, hearing her talk about that when she talks about it, I'm always like, yes, girl. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Anyway, she does these crazy, crazy looks. So I've been taking a lot of info from her lately, and I've been combining that red movey shade. I wish I knew the name of the Dior palette, because it's really stunning, this mov-y shade, but it's more plumb than mauve.

I do that in the outer third and the inner third, and it scared me at first, because I was kind of just dicking around with makeup one night, and I did that look, and I was like, this color can look really sickly on me if I'm, I'm not, if I'm not careful. If I don't do it right, if I leave it, you know, unblended, unpolished, it can look like SpongeBob with the Suds. And I don't want to do that. Okay, I don't want to look like fucking, who's the little kid from me, the Robinson's, him, but the sad one, who grows up into the villain. I don't, I don't want to do that. And so I did that color. I blended it real, real light. And then I did it under my eye as well. And then I did it. And then I I added the gray shade from the makeup by Mario palette, the neutrals, the matte neutrals, cool tone.

I added that gray, really pretty gray. And I blended both together. And then I put, it's from the kimchi and trixie palette that they did together. That really pretty glitter. It's like a gold champagne glitter. And then I did Space Cowboy by Urban Decay on top, like in the little, like, A halo eye is where it's dark on the outer and inner corners and then light in the very middle. So it looks like a spotlight, like a halo effect.

And a lot of the times you'll see a halo eye with like a gloss over it to make it look really just ethereal and really stunning. It photographs really well for like editorial, not the most wearable when you do the gloss option. But the way that Hannah does it is very wearable. And it just looks stunning on her, especially with her blonde eyebrows. I'm just like, she is gag. Anyway, I've started doing that. And it's stunning. It's stunning.

And then I pop a little tiny thin black liquid liner along my top lash line. Because if not, then the false lash looks really weird on top of it. Just because I'm so fucking white. I'm so Caucasian. And then I'll do, I'll glue a thin lash. You don't want to do too thick of a lash because then it turns into drag. you want to do all that. It's still, I'm doing daytime.

I'm doing day walker. So I'll do a thin little lash that's a little heavier on the outer corner. And I've been wearing that out. And I get so many compliments. Maybe it's because it looks weird. You know, sometimes people will compliment you or you'll compliment people when they look weird. I don't know if that's, you know what I mean? I don't.

But to be honest, I don't give a fuck. I don't give a fuck. Because I thought it looked cool. Like I took some photos. I was like, yes. Gab felt really cool. Felt really, I don't know, I just felt inspired by Hannah. Another eternal inspiration for me is Evelyn, number one New York Times bestseller on

TikTok. They are truly so worldly, so well researched, so inspired, so, I mean, I did a shoot recently. I've done multiple shoots where I've shown up and on the vision board, there's Evelyn. which, and I DM them afterward. And I'm like, I just want to let you know. Because we have the same face. Obviously, we have the same face. Which really helps because when they paint, it's nice.

Like, I can see what the shape and what the colors will look like on me. Our lips are a little different. But it's truly amazing what they are capable of producing. And I know that they use a lot of references from, like, I want to say, like, Gagliano and obviously like Pat McGrath and all that, but I don't know. They turn it into something that's very uniquely Evelyn and it's just I have followed them for forever since the pandemic and just admired from afar. So I take a lot of info from them. I've re-blogged them on Pinterest a lot. And I think there's just such a fun, whimsical thing of experimenting with color

and in a way that's wearable, you know, and anything's wearable if you're bold enough, you're brave enough. But it's also for me, like, sitting there in my glam chair and painting in my moo-mo and then being like, this is fun and then wiping it off, that's a different experience than doing that look and, like, finding an outfit that matches it, a vibe, a shoe, of jewelry. You know what I mean?

Like making it part of a whole cohesive thing, I'm, that's my next step, is I want to get more kind of funky, funky jewelry. I want to get more funky with my makeup, like how I paint, and then match that with maybe like a muted but classy, polish-looking fit. Because I used to, y'all, I used to leave the house in like a Nike tennis skirt and an oversized graphic t-shirt and my converse and be like, I don't give a fuck. I don't give a fuck. And I would look back on pictures and I'm like, girl, you look bad. You look stupid. Like, why didn't you try?

Like, I don't, I think that there's this weird feeling of, like, if I try, then that means I can be judged for it. And it's this whole, we're coming out of the era of, like, cringe. And to be cringe is to be free. Like, truly, I don't give a fuck anymore. I don't care if it's cringe. I don't care if it's chew. You don't care if it's millennial.

I'm going to do it because all you have is today. Today is all we've got, Queens. I used to do that because I was like, if I don't try, then no one can judge me. No one can, if you say something negative to me, well, I didn't even try. You know what I mean? Now it's like I take more pride. I say this in a minion hat in my Fontaine's DC shirt. If I try now, I find a joy in the process of my visual representation of myself that day.

that's part of almost a self-care self-care practice is the things that are happening in my head, what I'm loving, what I'm inspired by, what I want to present as that is, you know, it's part of dressing yourself. And I don't think I've, it's just the older I get. Like, I didn't feel that way five years ago.

I don't know if I'll feel that way in five years. Who knows? But I'm having fun with it right now, guys, right now. But, but baby, I swear it I wanted to call. But on the way around, I happened to fall. She's a M-U-A, a Carnegie Hall. I have a crush on a guy from Dublin. It's ridiculous.

And is it Green Chatton? Yes, but that's beside the point. There's another man from Dublin that I have a crush on. And it's getting lethal. All right. More on that later. Or maybe not at all. here's something I want to task you guys with. Start being the friend that carries around a deck of cards.

You need to be going to the club, going to the bars, going to the coffee, lunch dates with a deck of cards. Teach people games. I was in Ireland two weeks ago. I got violently high at this pub we went to and I whipped out my deck of cards and I taught people kings in the corner and they fucking loved it. Those Irish people, they love a card game, okay? Sure, it's fun. You go to a pub, you have a couple pints with your friends, you go home. Thoughts on just whipping out cards? What if we were having this beautiful conversation over cards? What if we were stimulating our hands? Kings of the Corner is a great game to just play. Anyone can play. It is not hard. It's solitaire. But up to four people can play. I was having a damn blast teaching this game to people. It's very easy to pick up on. And I also think that it's an icebreaker. You know, we've never met before. Doesn't matter. Sit down.

We're going to play some cards. It's good. And you're the cool girl because you have a deck of cartons with you. Yes. I really would recommend that. I've usually carried a deck of cards with me in my backpack, but I haven't. Are you carrying a backpack for you? 28.

You need to figure that shit out. Take the backpack off, queen. Take the backpack off. Pick up the tote. Um, yeah, deck of cards. Okay, we're going to do some ghost stories. I skipped it last week because I couldn't find the dock. Guess what? We're so fucking back, because I found it.

This is from Fai. She says, this is going to sound really, really weird and even more stupid, but here we go. One night a few years back, right after me and my family had moved into our new slash current house, my friend and her sister came over to hang out. It was completely dark outside and we had just finished watching a scare. movie. My friend's sister downloaded one of those Ghostfinder apps on her phone. Yeah, I know, whatever. And we took it around the house and see if we could find anything. There was nothing anywhere. First of all,

let me stop right there. Why would you do that? Let me stop her right there. Why? There was nothing anywhere except in our game room. There was a ghost named Mad Dog. We asked him the routine questions. What's your name? How old are you? Are you going to hurt us? Et cetera, et cetera. And when we asked if he was going to hurt us, he said, yes, I'm here now. And we first heard knocking on the windows and then the lights were nonstop flickering. I don't want to finish reading this. So what's up with that?

I don't want to finish reading this. Bitch, what the? No, I know you're lying. This middle school-ass story, it went completely silent for a moment and the light stopped. Then my back started to burn. Burn very badly. My friend lifted up the back of my shirt with a loud gasp. There were big red streaks all down my back like someone had scratched me.

Then it happened to my friend's sister. Hers were from her collarbone to her lower back. Then the lights flickered again rapidly, accompanied by more banging on the windows. We ran out of the room, pulling the door shut and pushing a chair in front of it. The door shook. My back stopped hurting. The lights were fine and it was silent. That was the story that made me believe ghosts were real.

Now, Mama, at what level did you invite that in? The universe is always listening. You cannot invite that stuff in. Okay, that would be my advice to you, Fai, is that some dumb-ass bullshit. and I don't know why you did that. It's curiosity that killed the cat. It's curiosity that invited fucking mad dog into its house. Curiosity killed the cat origin.

The phrase curiosity killed the cat evolved from the older expression, Care killed the cat, which appeared in Ben Johnson's 1598 play, Every Man in his Humor, and William Shakespeare is much ado about nothing, around 1600. And these early forms, care meant worry or sorrow. So worry killed the cat. The modern version with curiosity began appearing in the late 19th century, with an early printed reference found in an 1868 Irish newspaper, though the exact origin of the shift is unknown.

Very interesting to me. Our slash etymology, here we go! I've always heard this expression in Portuguese, my native language. a curiosity Matauau-Gato Then I learned English and there it was again but I didn't pay much attention to it

until I started studying Mandarin and found it. Can you explain where it came from and how it got into those languages? First of all, your sick as fuck, polyglot. That's funny, I always thought it was to do with Schrodinger's cat.

It's both dead and alive until you check. So Curiosity killed the cat. Now see, that makes sense to me. I think it doesn't exist in Catalan, but I've always felt it's more natural, as it rhymes. La curiosity I like that, I like that.

It also exists in Turkish. It also exists in Turkish. Kadiq, Kidi, Kidi, I'm sorry. Hey, I'm sorry. Too much curiosity kills the cat. Curiosity killed the cat.

But satisfaction brought it back. I like that. Also, want to know something I learned recently that was an Oscar Wilde quote? Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness. Is that not gag? Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness. While often shortened to imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, it's not the full one. and let me see who did the

Jack of All Trades, Master of None better to be Jack of All Trades than Master of None Isn't that it? Jack of All Trades, Master of None But oftentimes better than a Master of One. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's actually a compliment.

Okay, guys, here's some stuff for this week. If you want some merch, go to broskey. Shop and be on the lookout. Something new. might be coming soon. A lot of exciting things happening in Bro Ski Nation this fall season. Autumn for all you Europeans. And there's an official Brokegee Nation playlist that Elizabeth made us. Go check that out. There's also an unofficial Brokegee Nation playlist that some loyal Brokeke Nation member updates weekly. Shout out to her. And now I'm going to give you

my songs of the week, songs of the week. Week in your light by who sings that, Nation of League of Nations, Nation of Language by the League of Nations, of course, and another one by Nation of Language. We've got Week in Your Light and also Friend Machine. I've been loving them lately. We'll also go Fontaine's. I'm really, really, really deep into a Fontaine's DC kick. I always am, recently been re-ignited. One of my, my favorite Fontaine's DC song, probably ever. It might be death kink. It might be.

Nabokov is really fucking good. Roman Holiday's great. Bug is great. Big is great. I think for right now, it's Skinty Fia. Skinty Fia is a song I could listen to 100 billion times and never get tired of. Starburster, I was on that for a second. Like every single day, that's all I was listening to.

when I hear it, I'm like, skip. Oh my God, they've been opening with, or maybe not opening, it's the second song, with Here's the Thing, that crazy guitar. Mw-B-B-Bla-N-B-L-N-Ew-N-Ew-N-H-H's a thing, I know you're watching. Wow, I fucking love them. I don't belong to anyone.

I was not born. Winter in the Sun. Obviously, Boys in the Better Land. I talked about, oh, such a spring months ago, how I think that song rivals, like, some of Lennon McCartney's best. Grian Chatton, save me, Grian Chatton. I fucking love you, Grian Chatton.

There is a video of Grian Chatton and Sam Fender singing in some fuck-ass pub, and Louis Capaldi is outside the door. I've never seen Grian laugh that hard in my life. I didn't know he could laugh like that, okay? I can't meet Green Chappellee. By the way, I don't, don't, mm-mm, no, no. I'm going to be real fucking weird to Green Chanchaton if I ever meet him.

Keep him away from me. No, sir. And now I say that and I'm going to fucking, I'm serious, I'm dead ass. I'm going to be so weird and off-putting to Green Chan and that's not my nature. See, I sit up in this chair and I laugh and I giggle and I say I like these men. Green Chan is a hero of mine. I can't meet him. I'm serious.

I can't. me, okay. Well, guys, I think that'll do it for me this week. Keep your eyes peeled. Thanks for listening. Be good to each other. Be kind, make good choices. And I'll see you next week.
