Direct from the Broski Nation headquarters in Los Angeles, California. This is the Brozky Report with your host, Brittany Brosky. Guys! Guys! Seriously! Tuesday! Tuesday! Come on! Come on! It is 3 p.m. on a Saturday. Just woke up. Just woke up. Is the bug carcass still on the desk? Yes, it is. I have not cleaned it up since last week. I feel gross. I feel dirty, I feel gross. I got my nails done.

I got my nails done by my friend Sarah. She did my nails. So I'm gonna link her in the description because I'm feeling very, guys, I'm going to the House of the Dragon premiere and I'm gonna be interviewing Team Green. I'm done yelling, that's annoying. I'm gonna be interviewing Team Green for House of the Dragon.

So I got my little green dragon nails. I got my little green scales on girl. You know I gotta be on theme. Could you ever imagine me? Me, who had a map of Westeros on her wall and the Stark banner in college and at my first apartment. My first apartment was decorated like a dude. Like I had just hand-me-down shit everywhere, nothing matched.

It was all just, I mean, because you're poor. It's like I'm not going to go to fucking CB2 or West Elm and furnish my apartment. We're working with Etsy posters of Westeros, okay? and a Walmart snap frame. I don't care. I had leather couches passed down from my family that I still have, that I still use.

I've got coffee table and side tables from my Mimi and Pawpaw. I had bar stools for my Mimi and Pawpaw, my childhood bedroom furniture that I still have. You know, it's all, it just ends up moving with you. Every time you move, I move, literally every, every fucking year. Hey, knock on wood, I don't move out of this house. I love this house.

Since I moved L.A., I have moved every single year. And before that, I moved every single year. It's been damn near 10 years since I've lived in a place for more than two years, which is crazy. Okay, so, what was I talking about? What was, what on earth was I talking about? Oh, the bug carcass is still on the desk.

Yeah, I'm not cleaning that up anytime soon. It kind of makes me, it kind of makes me, It kind of makes me nauseous. We've got iced coffee in the restaurant cup. We've got a bunch of things to get through today. So, like I said, I'm feeling dirty. I smell like B.O. And my hair's a little greasy.

So just sort of walk with me there, okay? Christ would walk next to you and carry you when it gets too tough. I need y'all to carry me, okay? Y'all are Christ in this situation. Just ordered some kimbop and, uh, to buck, Tobok toki Tokboki Tokboki

Okay, not the American fucking pronunciation and not the British pronunciation I don't want to colonize your pronunciation how do you say it in Korean yeah so I ordered kimbab I had Bibbibbap

earlier this week and then for a YouTube video I'm doing soon I'm making a traditional Korean breakfast which traditional just means like eggs, rice and usually like a scalyan

And then some people do like a spicy tuna something. Some people do like just go to jong on their egg. I'm going to make the, um, that, that really gorgeous folded egg omelet that they do that takes so much skill. And then those really soft omelets that you like do really quick. You like sear it almost. And then you drape it over kimchi fried rice and then you cut it. Oh.

Oh! And I got to go to a H-Mart. I'm filming that today. I've got to go to Hmart. Very excited. You're going to get some of those little pickled radishes. I love Korean food. Okay.

Let's get into what we're talking about today. I don't know what I've been talking about for six minutes. Here is my latest things. I have a few things I've been doing. Because I don't know about y'all, but summer is here. It is time to change the mindset. I'm here to really guide y'all. Take your hand and guide you with.

with me to where I'm going. And where I'm going is a place full of serenity and peace. Okay, I'm leaving the external stressors of this world beyond, behind, because I can't fucking deal with it anymore. Here is, this, I saw this TikTok that changed my life, and I'm gonna try to put it up here, as I can't remember her name, who made it. This woman came on the Christian app TikTok

and said, this is your new nighttime routine. And usually I see that shit, and I'm like, I'm not drinking white wine and reading a book, you know, in my silk pajamas with my... I'm not doing all that shit. I'm watching smiling friends and I took an edible.

Okay, so I'm like, let's take this with a great assault. See this TikTok and she's like, rich girl Italian summer. And I said, word. And so I started watching it. She basically was like, this is about tricking your mind.

And I was like, there. I'm there with you. I'm walking with you. There's a Spotify playlist called Apparel Sprits. that is basically, I mean, it's kind of Basanova. I don't know actually what you would call that genre. It's like, zooby, zoosoo.

Zuby, zoo. And then it's all, it's like, I found my love in Portofino. And then the, the girl from Eponima goes walking. That's not Basanova necessarily. like Brazilian Basadova, but it's like, what is Basanova? Basanova, da-do-do-Basanova.

That's an Elvis song. Basanova is a relaxed style of samba developed in the late 50s and early 60s in Brazil. It is mainly characterized by a different beat that altered the harmonies with the introduction of unconventional chords. Okay, what does Bosanova literally mean? New wave. I know that's right. What genre of music is ZubiZoo? Do you all know what I'm talking about?

What the fuck is this called? French pop. Eh, that's not good enough for me. Okay, here it is. It's called Apparel Spritz by Bliss Lundgren. Bossa Nova Summer. I'm so fucking smart! Imagine being on a terrace in Positano

with a cold Apparel Sprits in hand. Yeah, dude. Okay, so this is, it's a mixture, though, because Bosanova, I know there's a bunch of different types and adaptations and reimaginations of it. Even there's some modern Bosanova artists. The girl who sings, um, oh, Lofy. I love Lofi. That's not necessarily Basanova. She's more like jazz, least easy listening. I do love her. Lofy, Lofy. Everybody's falling in love and I'm falling behind. Sing bitch. Zuby-Zooby-Zoo. window shopping in New York, there's a bunch of Hans Zimmer in here.

This is such a great mix, and it's like five hours long. Yeah, this, okay, so the steps. Begin with this playlist. And if y'all have any more recommendations for shit like this to me, please let me know in the comments because I read those YouTube comments

like it's my daily bread, okay? Start with that playlist. Then you're going to get in the shower. Now, for me, at the end of the night, I usually am just like, I'm going to get through this as quickly as I can. Okay, I wash my hair every like maybe four to five days. I'm a dry shampoo queen.

And I've started using this. I've talked about it before, that like root spray for all my bald bitches. All my balding women out there, women and folk, other folk. I've started using that. And oh my God, it's a life changer. I feel so much better. And, okay, so I usually just like do my thing in the shower really. quickly, but this playlist makes you want to take your time and makes you want to kind of enjoy the

process. And that's what this TikTok as well told me. And so I'm listening to it like it's the fucking Bible. Take your time. Use your expensive soap. If you don't have some, get some nice scented, like invest in yourself. If you can, of course. Really take your time washing everything. Double shampoo. Exfoliate. Okay. Really just do your thing. Dance in the show. I also started doing this thing. You know those, the fucking TikTok shop, they promo the hell out of them, and they did during the pandemic too.

Those like sunset lamps, I got sent one for free like two, three years ago, and I was like, I'm never gonna use this. And then I was like, you know what? I need some like aesthetic mood lighting. And so I turned off the lights in my bathroom, but I put that on, oh, wow. I've also seen their shower lamps.

I might need to invest in one of those. Now, that's the, the energy, okay. Zuby, zooby, zoo. I'm cleaning my ass crack. Zuby, zoo. Dandruffin under my nails. Zuby, zooby, zoo.

Oh, a new ingrown hair. Zuby, zoobie zoo. A butt pimple. Okay, now you're done. Get out of the shower. Pat dry. Use a nice body lotion. I have talked about the Laura Murcier one for a while

because the amber vanilla, I love that one. They just came out with a coconut. almond something that I need to try. I did that on my decalitage and my arms. And then I use a cheaper one on my legs because I got a lot of surface area on my fucking legs. And I don't want to waste my good smelling stuff. And so I do just like a nivia something on my legs.

And then I go to town. I start doing my skincare. Okay, I do a little K-18 mask on my hair. Meanwhile, the playlist is still playing. Okay, do my whole routine, whatever. Okay, so now you're all oiled up. Build up Torquathon. You go to your room.

Okay, put on like a night. Wait for the lotion to dry down. Put on a nice little nightgown or like really comfy PJs. Then you're going to go get an iced beverage. Okay. Now this is what I liked about this TikTok. She wasn't like, go make yourself a wine. Go make yourself a bedtime cocktail.

No, girl. She was like, even if it's ice water, put that shit in a wine glass. Okay, done. Did that. I did that for me. I did a little ice water and then I got a little snacky. I like those little blueberry, assayy, dark chocolate things. You know what I'm talking about?

Brooks, Brooks Shire Farms, Brookshire Hills, whatever it is. Those, I eat those like, they're vitamins. I eat them every day. I got that. I got my little wine glass. Ooh, rich ice water. By my bedside, okay? Then next step.

She said, put one of your favorite. summer movies on. Check! I have a whole list of those. Aquamarine. How's the musical too? Mama Mia. She literally said she was like, aquamarine's a good one. Mama Mia. Done. Put on Mamma Mia. I got Mama Mia on the TV. I lit a nice candle. I had my little sunset lamp on and I turned my lava lamp on, okay? Ambient lighting. I smell good. I'm clean. My bed was made. Okay, I slip into bed. Almost. Almost knocked the fuck out. It smells good in my room. Everything's clean.

I have my nice ice water. I put on Mamma Mia a movie that I've seen so many times. I'm like mouthing the words along to it. Dot, dot, dot! Love that movie. I'm playing Kakeshort on my phone. Oh my God. It was a beautiful evening.

And honestly, it takes, I'm... When people talk about relaxing, right? Oh, you just need some rest and relaxation. I genuinely don't know what they're talking about. I don't think I've ever relaxed ever in my life. I'm always kind of like high-strung, like tense guitar strings. That's what my neck feels like. That's what my life feels like.

I'm always just like, and for the first time in probably years, I was like, oh, this is so nice. And then after a while, I stopped playing Kakesort, and I just kind of, I just watched the movie. Oh, my God. It was lovely. And I finished the movie and I was like, you know what, I'm sleepy.

Shut everything off, immediately went to bed, didn't get on my phone again. It's been years. It's been years. It was so nice. And now, I know that this is like kind of simple, but I'm saying for me personally, I really find it hard to unwind. This, like, for the first time in a long time, I actually unwound and went to bed at a reasonable time. And it was great. For me, that is not something I do on the,

irregular. Speaking of that, I'm really tapped into massage ASMR on TikTok right now. I have a bunch of niche weird shit to get into with you guys today about TikTok because I don't know what, I don't know. And I kind of need someone to tell me that it's weird because I'm way too far down the rabbit hole. Y'all don't know about Lisa, nail, and spa in Ho Chi Men City the way that I do. Okay? y'all are not tapped in to Lisa nail and spa in Ho Chi men city y'all don't know bullshit about it and it shows this salon okay oh my god I guess it's a spa they do full body massages but they do the ones that are like the scalp they like wash your hair and they give you a scalp massage and then they wash your face

and they do all this shit and then they do a full body massage oh my god God, I binge that account, like I've paid for a treatment. I would, I literally would be one of the people if they ever went live, I would start sending gifts. Like, thank you for your service what you're doing here. Oh, my God. So they lay them down, and then they wrap these weighted, heated up velcro things around their feet. So, and it's on the bottom of their feet. And so it like, and then they put this weighted thing on your stomach that's heated up to.

Okay. And then they cover you up and then they take your arms out. And then they do a little arm massage. And then you know how if you've ever gotten your nails done and they'll kind of like do one of these, a little last minute hand massage and they'll take your hand and hold it and then rotate your wrist around and it just feels so good. They do that.

And then they lay you down and then they do like a dry scalp rub with one of those little hard combs. And then they'll do it with their hands. and they'll do this like, oh my God, I just need it so bad. And there's this cool device when you were laying down. I'm like way too into this. I need to go to Ho Chi Men City. I need to go to Ho Chi Men City.

Now! Get me on a flight to Ho Chi Men City. I need to go to Lisa, Nail, and Spa. It's this like baby sensory toy crib thing that it looks like. And it's a rounded thing that goes over your face and it starts at your hairline and then it's got little water spouts in it. And so they do that back and forth over like from your neck to the back of your head. And it just looks amazing.

I just need to. Lisa, if you're watching, Lisa, I know you're watching. Book me. Let me come in. Okay? I'm going to land in Hocchiman City in about 24 hours. Let me in. Please, I don't have an appointment.

But my God, I could literally work the front desk for them. I could work the front desk for Lisa Nail and Spaw. I'm obsessed with them. I'm obsessed with their account. I know all the girls. One of the videos was like, you might, because it translates it from Vietnamese into English for the captions. And one of the captions said, you might recognize Ms. And I was like, yeah, of course I recognize Ms.

She works there. Now she's getting a massage. Of course I recognize Miss. That's my home girl. She literally works there. Because sometimes they'll show different camera angles of the women that work there. I love them. They literally help so many people to like all.

All the comments are like, this really relaxed me. Like, I wish that was me. Y'all should come to America and open up a store and all this shit. And I'm like, yeah, I would fucking fund it. Please, Lisa. Oh, dude. You might recognize Ms. Yes, I do.

I would die for Miss. Anyway, that's been my latest thing. I'm really, really into that. Okay, now this is the other thing I'm tapped into right now. Why does logging into TikTok on your desktop take 38 minutes? I guess who's scrolling TikTok on their desktop? Me, bitch. Okay, this thing I'm into, which, yeah, I guess some would refer to this as being on the stem toy side of TikTok.

I've never judged y'all. I've never judged y'all. What is a stem toy? You're about to find out. Now, there's some controversy around these toys, okay? because they sell them on TeamU and TikTok shop, I'm supporting small businesses, okay? There is what I think is about a 13-year-old girl

who makes these on TikTok, and her mother runs the business. That's what I bought from, okay? Supporting small child businesses, child-owned businesses. They have the best, well, okay, well, here's what it is. It's called a Tabah Squishy. Okay? Yeah, I'm 27 playing with squish toys

I don't care, I don't give a shit If it brings me happiness I'm gonna spend money on it Oh, speaking of spending fucking money That I shouldn't have The pickle guys, that pickle company That like Cook It Erica and all those people on TikTok Are like pickle review

And they're like good homemade pickles Man, I went on that website Tell me why one jar of pickles is like $38. What? That's like a boy smells candle. That's crazy. Did I buy four? Yeah.

Because they had a little deal going. And I wanted to try it so bad. I was like, you know what? I'm going to buy these and then never buy them again. I'm going to have my mom try them. I'm going to have my friends try them. Like, everyone is going to experience so that I don't have to do this ever again. $170 I spent because this is based in New York.

They had to ship them to California. Dude, the shipping alone was like $55. The pickled watermelon was worth it. I didn't really enjoy any of the other three I got. I'm doing the thing where I have the spit bubble in my throat again. Like, can I swallow $170 down the shitter? Just for some pickled watermelon. I should have honestly just gone.

I wonder if they have a store in New York. Like the next time I'm in New York, I should just go to the store and I should have just bought some. Would have saved me a lot of money. But I was, man, it was one of those late night cravings. I was like, I need it. Pickles. And I did it, won't ever be doing it again.

Okay, anyway, back to shipping. They, yeah, I bought... Okay, so here's the thing. I don't even know where to start. I'm like embarrassed. Guys, don't look at me when I say this. This girl goes live. This girl goes live.

And she shows all the new squishies, and I have notifications. turn. What the fuck ever? I literally followed her and turn notifications on. I don't care. Because she goes live and it's like she does and she squishes it so well and she's like, this is the new kitty squitch. This is on my website guys. And then she starts getting fresh to the people. I already said it's on my website. Guys, the website is in my bio. Guys, no, it's, I can't type it out. It's too good. It go to my page. It's in my bio, okay?

And then I'm like, I'm commenting, yeah, it's in her bio. Guys, the link is in her bio. I'm a mod. I'm a moderator for the fucking taba squishy selling account. The taba squishy small business, mother and daughter owned. I'm hoping that the mother has something to do with this, because I think this is a child that runs this again. Anyway, let me show you what I'm talking about.

okay. Oh, ooh, okay. Should I show you the big ones or the little ones? I'll show you the, the average-sized one, okay? Okay, so here, let me get to this. Okay, so did y'all see that? Basically, for audio listeners, let me describe this. It is a big, squishy, basically slime that's been solidified and you can squish it and it'll retain its form, its shape. They put that in a big plastic, like, sealable bag with a bunch of trinkets and little shit, and then you just squish it. That's it. There's nothing else to it. It's like a stem toy. I don't know if it's Japanese. What is a taba squishy? What is taba squishy? Kawai crafts. Yeah, I'm assuming it's Japanese. Biscuit taba squishy. And they make them so cute,

dude. They're like, what is a taba squishy for? A great question. Taba squishies are intended to relieve stress and help people relax. They are also known as mochi squishies and are made of silicone and rubber. Tabah squishies are softer and stickier than other stickies. Okay guys, please remember this. When pressed, they should look like a liquid. That's the thing. And there's a lot of fucking tea and drama online because some people are like, new taba squishy drop and then they're really hard and rigid and people will do squishy reviews and then they get pissed off. Right? They're like, they advertise this as being really soft and almost like buttery. This is hard. This is hard. Hard to the touch. Do not buy this.

I'm so tapped into this. Y'all have no fucking clue. How to make viral taba squishies. New DIY trend revealed. 17 minute long video. Yeah, I'll watch that. Okay, so, squeezing toys can help people focus and calm their nerves, especially those with ADHD,

ADD, OCD, or autism. However, some say that squishies are actually meant to cause stress. Well, yeah, when I see the tea online about the squishy community, I just want everyone to get along. I'm here to promote peace and prosperity and non-monoplies within the top of squishy community because there's a lot of squish toys online, specifically TikTok, okay? Guys, we can all coexist.

Me personally, I'm going to be riding on the top of squishy side because I'm locked in. But I'm not going to yuck your yum, all right? If you like those little, the hard needo ones, or if you like the ones with the little ball orbies in them, do your thing. I'm not going to call you a freak weirdo. in the comments will. Okay, I don't have to. Anyway, let's go back to the top of Squishies.

Okay, so this is kind of T, right? Because this is a super large cat paw taba squishy. It's probably this big. It's probably the size of like, I don't know, what is that? Like a dinner plate. Like a dinner plate. If you're to hold it in two of your hands. But it is big and heavy and squinty. And they put a bunch of shit in it, like little trinkets or little fuzz balls or glitter or, oh my god, let me show you all something that pissed me off first time I saw it. The way they make them sometimes, they will take the super sticky, squishy shit and put it in what looks like fiberglass, but it's not. It's like fake hair? It's like fake fur, and it's cut up real short. I don't know, dude. I just have to show you.

squishy powder. Okay, here we go. Here we go. A handmade top of squishy heart with flocking powder. What the fuck is flocking? Flocking powder. All right, y'all watch this. The heart does come out.

Look, why is it? It's like she dropped it in like, on a carpet. Like she dropped it on a really fuzzy carpet, but that's on purpose. They do that on purpose. Look at it. I have got to put that in my mouth now

That has got to be lodged halfway down my throat right now I need to sink my teeth into the front of it I need a hi hi hi hi Me and my siblings always make fun of my dog Because my dog's such a puss The family dog Mr. Doe of course His name's Coda but we call him Mr. Upey Roo Mr. Upi Roo when you even like get near him sometimes

He wasn't abused by the way let me just throw that out there We got him from when he was a puppy until now. We don't hit him. We don't like discipline him. He's just a puss. When he sees other dogs in public, he like cowers and pees on himself. And he's a miniature American Eskimo. I mean, he's like a 50-pound dog. Why are you pissing on my feet? Because you see a chihuahua across the street. He's just a puss. Anyway, whenever you like, again, let me emphasize, we're not hurting him. Whenever you act like, you're going to grab his paw, he'll do. Hi! Hi, hi, hi.

Like an injured dog? I didn't touch you. Okay, he's just a pus. So me, Sierra Jett, do that. Whatever we're like, something hurts our feelings or something. Hi, hi. I don't know why I brought that up. Anyway, I would like to chew on these.

Flocking powder included. What is flocking powder used for? What is Waka flaka powder used for? Oh, it's made of asbestos. I'm just kidding. flocking powder, also known as flock, is a material made of tiny synthetic fibers. Shit.

It's used to create textures and finishes on many services. Apply millions of short fibers to an adhesive-coated surface to create a velvety or brush-like texture. It's often used on jewelry boxes, glove compartments, and car headliners. I thought that was a velvet. They do that instead of velvet? Oh, you can create it. You can mix it in with materials.

to add colors in the form of pointillism, which creates dots instead of blends of color. That's T. Using flocking powder with card-making dyes to add texture and interest to background. Sprinkle the powder on top of adhesive, shake off the excess, and then heat to dry and set. Okay, so it's like a crafting thing.

Definitely giving everything dice figures. I just like, what do you do when it starts floating up in the air and you're do flocking, deflocking, the flocking, the flocking. EMT's there. He's like, what happened? The flocking powder, the waka flaka. Yeah, I need to chew on it right now.

Okay, so, let me show y'all, uh, taba squishy, no music. Because I don't want to get copyrighted. Here we go. Oh, my God. I should have bought this one. Oh, I didn't even tell you, I spent $90 on this one. $90 on Mooncat. Mooncat is, of course, the account that I follow.

$90. I got the big one, the one that's the dinner plate size, because I want to know. I need to know. What does it feel? It's like liquidy. I need to squinch. I need to,

when I do my apparel spritz routine, I need to lay up in bed with my squinch. And watch Moma Mia. What's not making sense to y'all here? Okay? It's part of my routine. My squitch. And then I got a mini,

I got one this size. I think I did get a, a waffle. I got a waffle with little fake ice cream scoop and sprinkles on it. But these look better. Okay, period. Well, these were not available on the website. This is from February. It is now what, June something? These are not available. Mooncat, if you're watching, please bring the fucking waffles back because I wanted a waffle, just a plain waffle. Okay. This is ridiculous. Anyway, there's some beef online because you're supposed to play with them in the package like this, Right? It's like non-toxic, you just play with it, squitch, squitch, no mess.

And especially when they start adding all that walka flaka powder and the fucking asbestos and glitter and whatever. It's like, don't take it out. It's going to get everywhere. But some people do. They're like, I'm unboxing my tuba squishy. And then they take it out and the fucking shit gets everywhere. And then everyone in the comments is pissed off. Why did you take it off the package? You are not supposed to take it out. And then the creator's like, I didn't know I wanted to touch it.

Bro. And then some of it, because it depends how you make them. Some of them are like, they're fine to play with outside the package, just be careful, don't eat it. Okay, what about if I put it in my mouth?

I'm not eating it, I'm just sucking on it a little bit. It's a waffle. You mean you don't want me to suck on it? Grow up. And so some of, and then they get mad. And some people will make videos

and be like, stop taking it out of the package. Because when you do that, when you get down to the really tiny one, you take it out and then they get dirty and then you yell at the creator the like person who made them mine got dirty, mine's too squishy

I got a medium one, and I got a key chain. Okay. Um, and I think, I think the account name is Mooncat. That's where I got it from, Mooncat with a K. Okay, I had some shit that I wanted to Google with you guys, so let's go ahead and do that. I watched this long YouTube video the other day

about stamps. Stay with me, okay? Don't be like, oh, I broke your port, so boring. Y'all don't know the history of stamps and why stamp collecting is such a lucrative business? Guys, stamps. Here's the history of stamps from the three videos I watched while I was eating lunch the other day.

Stant, in the olden days, right, in England, when you would send a message to someone, you would have a mailman take it wherever, they would walk across a volcano and uphill both ways in the snow, barefoot sort of shit to get your message to the person you want it sent to. Upon getting there, they would charge the recipient a fee for delivering the message. What? What if I didn't know a message was coming? Why the fuck do I have to pay for it? versus having the guy send it, you know, pay for it.

Well, then how do you know that it's been paid for? Because you could two-time them. You could charge the guy who's sending the message, and you could charge the guy who's receiving the message. So the mailman's the one who wins in the end. Now, they changed that. I don't know what the time frame is here, but eventually to where you could purchase a stamp that is prepaid.

So that proves that you have already paid for this message to be sent. So upon receiving the message, you're good to go. Okay. Mailman's been paid. out, the postal surface has been paid out, and then the recipient, you know, you don't have to, it's no longer the onus on that person. So this started, I want to say in the 1700s, 1800s, 1700s, and then as they would introduce and phase out old stamps and introduce new stamps, they started to become collectibles, right? Because especially if the stick is still intact,

if it was never used, you got, you are sitting on a, a fortune, okay? Let's look up. When did prepaid stamps start? On January 10th, 1840, the postage for all half-ounce letters was set at one penny. The introduction of prepaid stamps and stationary took nearly four more months, becoming valid for postage on May 6, 1840. Okay. Now I want to see what is the most what is the most expensive stamp in the world? Oh, T, dude. The most expensive... Is this what we're doing?

Other podcasts are so, like, T-centric. I always see those comparisons on TikTok. I'm like, these podcasts are like, and then this bitch said to me, and then no, I will say her name. Like, that shit, and then it'll cut to the brooky port, and it's like, the thing about Dracula was that he had a narcissist complex, okay?

He was a narcissist. Renfield syndrome is when you drink the blood of other animals. Got it. Okay, here's the most expensive stamp in the world, if anyone was wondering. The British Guinea 1-cent magenta. The most expensive stamp on record is the British Guinea, guina. That's not Guinea. One-cent magenta.

Only one is known to exist. It was ordered to be printed by the postmaster general of British Guinea in 1856, after a shipment from London was delayed. Its first sale was recorded in 1874 for six shillings, $1.44. Now, let's see what it goes for today. In June 2014, the stamp was sold at Sotheby's auction for a whopping $9.48 million. Y'all need to get into stamp collecting. I'm trying to tell you. I'm trying to introduce you to a lucrative little side hustle. The buyer was high-end shoe designer Stuart Weitzman, who simply tucked the stamp into his pocket after the record-breaking sale. What the fuck? Oh, here we, here we got a, ooh, there's a whole list here. The 1859 Sicilian error of color. The 1859

Sicilian error of color was printed in blue instead of orange with only two known to exist. Now, that's the T. You got to tap in to how rare it is. And also, just because it's old, doesn't make it valuable. because if it's old, sure, that'll go for way more than, you know, one from the last like 20 years. But even stuff, I've seen stuff like 9-11 stamps and stuff like that with shit with the Twin Towers on it before, obviously 9-11. Like, those go crazy. I think there's also like Challenger, any NASA stamps, like those go crazy price-wise. But this is like you have to take into context how many are out in the world. old and are you one of the sole

owners, you know, or collectors or traders of said stamp? So something like this, an error where there was only two before they started mass printing more, that's crazy. In 1993, a pair of these stamps were sold on a Bordeaux cover envelope for

$3.83 million. Damn. Okay. What are the most valuable American stamps. Mystic Stamp Company. What are we doing?

Look at these prices, y'all. Rare stamps. America's leading stamp dealer, Mystic Stamp Company. 1857 to 61.1C. Franklin. This has Benjamin Franklin on it, and it says U.S. postage, one cent. This goes for anywhere between

$6,000 to $27,500. I also wonder like, okay, when you buy it, when you sell it again, how do you even start to estimate what that's worth? Guys, we need a stamp collector expert on the pod. Ooh, that's cool. 1979 S1 Americana series Rush Lamp Invert. Wait, I'm actually really into this. Actually, I just decided.

That's cool as fuck. If it's got like art on it from the 70s. 1998 yellow hat, H rate. $2,500. Can you go by, can you go by U.S. stamps? Rare stamps? U.S. stamps by year. U.S. stamp formats.

Let's go to the 60s. Oh, these are kind of boring. I want like a beatnik stamp. Winter Olympic Games from 1960. That's cool. Oh, it's 20 bucks. See, I don't know bullshit about this, because that's cool to me,

but it's not lucrative. I would be in the red if I was a stamp collector. I'd be like, but this one was from 2015. I graduated high school. And they're like, it's worth $4. Okay, I don't care. I need to start collecting stamps. Because I love, I do love at antique stores,

they'll have stamps sometimes. I need to tap into this, dude. I was also, I wanted to Google completely separately. why don't redwood trees rot? Did y'all know this? Redwood trees do not rot. And that makes it even funnier because in my family, when you,

we have a, okay, Brosky family lore, if you poop out a turd that is so solid, so brick-like that you end up clogging the toilet, this is a common thing in my family, we all have clogged the toilet many times.

My dad has this joke that is essentially like, Was it a redwood? Because a redwood turd, when you try to flush it, it just kind of swirls around the bowl like this. And it doesn't go down. Because it's so solid and it won't break down. That's the lore, okay?

Taking that in its scientific accuracy as well as comedic charm, we're going to look here, why don't redwood trees rot? The unusual resistance of redwoods to the attacks of both insects and fungi is thought to result from the presence, among other chemical agents, of a chemical known as tannin. Hold on, tannin's in something else. What is tannin? Tannins are a class of astringent polyphenolic biomolecules that bind to and precipitate proteins and various, don't care. Lost interest really quickly there.

Let's go back to why don't Redwood's rut. Oh, duh. This is a substance occurring in hemlocks, oaks, and many other children. trees from which it is extracted and used in tanning leather. I don't know why I said, duh, like I knew that. I did not know that. Is redwood resistant to rot? Now, will it burn? Redwood is particularly resistant to weather. Both woods are rot and insect resistant, but cedar may require additional sealant or treatment for longer lasting protection.

If redwood is naturally wrought, okay, now we're on Reddit. I love this subreddit. Our slash, explain it like I'm five. explain like I'm five. If redwood is naturally rot resistant, why can't we grow redwoods to build our buildings? There might be better reasons, but a fake redwoods don't grow across a huge range that would allow large-scale cultivation.

Their natural pre-European range is only a narrow strip of the California coast and up in the Sierra Nevados. T, like the giant redwoods. You want to talk about irrational fear of mine is really large things like that. Those photos of the redwood forest

genuinely like it gives me a feeling of dread. Does anyone else have that? I get it when I look at really huge man-made objects as well. Skyscraper's kind of freak me out. Those big anchor chains freak me the fuck out. I have sub-mechanophobia real bad.

Like the fear of huge things underwater, submerged underwater. Oh, fuck that. Redwood. Forest. Absolutely not, dude. I can't comprehend this. I cannot comprehend how large this is.

Look at that. I cannot comprehend that. Look, you can drive through it. Why is this a British website? Are there redwoods in the UK? Whoa, northern Norway to southern Chile? This particular species, the Sequoia, lives only in the coastal forest of the western United States.

The giant redwood is very fireball. resistant. I knew it, dude. In fact, needs forest fires in order to reproduce. The species once thrived in coastal areas of Northern California, but large areas were cleared by logging in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Fuck. Modern challenges include human attempts to prevent the forest fires which the redwoods depend on to create new trees. Damn, can we just leave the earth alone for once? I genuinely hate how large these are. Like, I cannot tell you. Ew! Ew!

Bad! I really actually, I don't know what that is. I don't know what the fuck, why that scares me so bad. Okay, we're done with that actually. I could never go to the Redwood Forest. I start freaking the fuck out. I start crying. Sotheby's.

What is the most expensive thing bought at Sotheby's auction? Do you want to know the most expensive, the highest price that a piece of art was ever sold for? It is actually going to be, actually, I'll let you guess. Do you guys even know the artist? Can you think of some of the most famous artists in the world? Who do you think would have the highest price point for an art auction? Three, two, one.

If you said Picasso, you are right. The most expensive painting that was ever sold was L'Reve by Picasso, which is The Dream. and it's the one with the big penis on her face, bro. This one. It's phallic in nature. Her face looks like a freaking penis. Ew! Ew!

1932. Let's see what it was sold for. I think it was in the billions. It was $1 billion, $1.3 billion. Le Rev Picasso. Price. $155 million. Okay, so I lied.

Oh, so I lied. Oh, this is recent, actually. The most expensive painting in the world, Google is telling me, is Salvatore Mundi, with the cost of $450.3 million claims the title of the costliest painting in the world. Know the names of the top 10. This was from 2024. This was from this year. My information was from, when was that?

2018. That was when I found that out. Oh, so I'm just an idiot, I guess. Maybe that was the most expensive Picasso that was ever sold. Costliest paintings in the world, 2024. Well, also now I'm wondering, does inflation have anything to do with it? Like if Larev was to be sold today, it would probably be up here. Interchange by Willem Dekooning?

I'm not a big cooning decooning fan. T, I wonder why this is so expensive. The card players by Paul Cizan. When Will You Marry by Paul Gogan? number 17A by Jackson Pollock The Standard Bearer Rembrandt Shot Sage Blue Maryland

Andy Warhol's portrait of Marilyn Monroe $195 million Rothko 186 million We've got some more Rembrandt and then Picasso Le Fem de Geux

version O period man the more you know Humiliated what I said about Larev It's still a very impressive, expensive painting, but, man, the more you know. The highest auction price at Sotheby's achieved by a $157 million, Modigliani, Amadeo Modigliani, sold for $157.2 million.

Let's see this. Oh, it's a naked girl. Whoa. I would love to go. to one of these one day. I wonder how all this works. Achieving a remarkable $157.2 million, Amadeo Modigliani's Nukush

1917, 1917, led the $3.3 million Impressionist and Modern Art Evening Sale on May 14th. I think of, when was this? This year? I don't know. The price is the highest ever achieved for a work of art in a Sotheby's auction. Another salesroom

star was Picasso's Le Repos. What's this one? Period. Oh, that's gorgeous. A 1932 portrait of his golden muse, Marie-Therese, Walter, that brought 36.9 million. Monet's abstracted vision of the light at dawn, matinee sur la Somme, La Seine, fetched 20.6 million. These numbers in comparison just feel so like, oh, a quick 20 million for a fucking... Uh, Monet.

Eh. Eh. Pinnies in the bucket. $350 million for a painting. I always find, I've talked about this a little bit before. How do you put a price on a priceless piece of art? Truly, is it the cultural currency of a piece that makes it expensive? Does it value raise after the artist has passed?

Like, what are the factors here that people are considering when you sell something for $350 million? It's also like a status thing, you know, oh, well, I don't. I own it. Like, they buy it and then they hide it away from the world. You all know how I feel about this. I don't think that art should be privately owned. I think you can have a, if there are replicas of it, replicas, or if there are different versions, that sort of thing.

I think that there are ways that it would be okay if you wanted to display that in, like, a private home or, you know, maybe a hotel or something like that. But I think by and large, these pieces, they can be privately owned, but they should be publicly displayed. That's how I feel about it. How do we get on here? Costliest paintings. That is crazy. Oh, this is, I wanted to talk about the, um, why Salvatore Mundi was the most expensive painting. I think this was because it was a long lost da Vinci that was in some woman's house. Was it one of those stories? Like she thought it was, you know, just some old art. And it ended up being a fucking Da Vinci? Unveiled in 2017 after extensive restoration and authenticity debates, Leonardo da Vinci's

Salvador Mundi commands a staggering $450.3 million. Draped in celestial blue, Jesus Christ's blessing hand holds the world symbolically. Its record-breaking auction price underscores its enigmatic allure and cultural significance as the world's most expensive painting. Where was Salvatore Mundi found. Holy shit. The original Salvatore Mundi has not been seen in public since it was sold at Christie's in May 2013

to an anonymous bidder who was later revealed to be an ally of Saudi Arabia crown prince Muhammad bin Salman. The paintings whereabouts are unknown. Oh! The 500-year-old painting, likely the work of a student of Leonardo,

was found in a bedroom cupboard in the southern Italian city of Naples. In January 2021, this is from the Google AI shit. In January 2021, Italian police found a 16th century copy of Leonardo da Vinci's Salvador Mundi and a bedroom covered in an apartment in Naples. The painting had been stolen from the Doma Museum at the Basilica di San Domenico Maggiore in Naples, but officials were unaware because the room where it was kept had been closed for months due to the coronavirus pandemic. The painting's owner, a 36-year-old man, was arrested on society.

of receiving stolen goods. He told police he had casually purchased the painting at a flea market, but police considered that story less than credible. The painting has since been returned to the church's Muscatola Chapel. Okay, so it's on display, or is it not? It was lost in America? Louisiana family discovers that Salvatore Mundi painting had long hung in their home before it was re-authenticated as Leonardo Masterpiece.

Okay, there's a lot of contrasting stories here. Small auction house in New Orleans. The sale took place in April 2005. Okay, what's the truth? What's the truth and why is it half a billion dollars? That's insane. All right, guys, I think that'll do it for me for this freaking episode. We covered a lot of good stuff.
