This is the Brozky Report with your host, Brittany Brozky. What's going on, Jake Pollers? Welcome back to the Brookesky Report, starring me, Brittany Broski, the host of the Presby, Brady, Bradie, and me. I'm my town. I'm my town. I'm on a brusket part. I'm talking about bread and basket. Ew, my throat.

Hey, guys. How are we feeling on this beautiful summer day? Happy summer team. Happy summer solstice. What the fuck is a solstice? Okay? What is an equinox? What is a solstice?

What is an eclipse? Other than the third book in the Twilight series. I don't know what any of those terms mean. I'm gonna look up what a solstice is. Solstice. Solstice definition. A solstice is an event that occurs when the sun appears.

I just, I don't care. I have it through me that was like, I actually don't fucking have the slightest of a fuck about this. Not care less, but I'm gonna read it because here we are. Oh, my face. got hot. I just like, I'm trying to practice honesty, okay? Being so totally honest. When I don't care about something, I'm just going to come out and say it. When I'm bored,

I'm bored. If I'm talking to someone and they're fucking boring me, especially a man, I'm going to like, I'm bored. Can you talk about something else? You're fucking boring, boring. How do what a solstice means? A solstice. All right. an event that occurs when the sun appears to reach its most northerly or southerly excursion that's not a real word northerly or southerly excursion relative to the celestial equator

on the celestial sphere now y'all are just fucking making things up to piss me off the time or date twice a year at which the sun reaches its maximum or minimum declination? What does that mean? Marked by the longest and shortest days, June 21st and December 22nd. The longest, so the summer solstice is at the longest day, like the sun is around for the longest. What the fuck is a declination? The angular deviation of a compass needle from true north. Because the magnetic north pole and the geographic north pole do not coincide? This is making me angry.

This is making me really fucking mad, actually. I'm, about to start fuming. The angular distance of a point north or south of the celestial equator. I have got to see a picture. Define declination. Summerstolsis. Summerstolsis. Holy fuck, dude.

I've had four cups of Cafe Bustello today. When are they going to sponsor me? Cafe Bustello, I'm fucking, just send me a PR package at minimum. I'm going to start snorting the ground. next episode I'm gonna open it's gonna open with me with a cereal bowl with cafe Bustello coffee grounds in it and I'm gonna eat it with a spoon I'm on I have so much caffeine pumping through my little little skinny little veins right now my veins are so skinny because I'm skinny I'm actually the thinnest woman to be alive summer stolstice

fuck off dude holy shit holy shit shit. Summer solstice in the northern hemisphere. The declination angle is at its maximum and is 23.45 degrees. Spring equinox. What the fuck is an equinox? Me getting angry at science for 45 minutes straight. Equinox science, not equinox gem. There are only two times of the year when the Earth's axis is tilted neither toward nor away from the sun. Oh. Resulting in a nearly equal amount of daylight and darkness at all latitudes. These events are referred to as equinoxes.

The word equinox is derived from two Latin words. Equis, which means equal and nox, which means night. Actually, Loomis and Knox are spells from Harry Potter that both light up and darken a room. You fucking idiot. Equinox side effects Oh, equawks What the fuck is equawks

European medicine agency? What are the risks associated with equawks The most common side effect In horses Which may affect more than one in ten horses Are ulcers or sores of the lining of the mouth Or skin around the mouth What does that mean?

The equinox is given horses ulcers We have to put a stop to the equinox I will shoot down the sun I will fire a weapon so massive into the sky that I will put an end to the equinox and summer solstices for the rest of time eternal. Bro Ski Nation, we're doing something about that UV index. I want to be able to go outside

and enjoy a nice day in the sun without worrying about getting a mole that is raised or discolored or can cause me cancerous issues in the future. I've already had a few moles removed and it runs in my family. We're constantly getting shit zapped off our bodies. What's it called when they zap it with a liquid nitrogen or whatever it is?

How do you freeze off a moor? Your child's work to be treated with liquid nitrogen. See, I have had to go to the doctor. I had two on my finger in high school. And he went in there and kuzh, and it hurts so fucking bad. But they were gone. Liquid nitrogen freezes and destroys both the wart and the small area of normal skin around. Y'all, warts are so fucking gross.

There's like spores. Oh, actually, I'm going to vomit. I actually can't think about it. that. Honor-a-domit. What is an equinox? Equinox is when the earth is upright. And a solstice is when the earth, the sun hits the earth at an angle.

Spring equinox in the northern hemisphere and autumn equinox in the southern hemisphere. Winter solstice. Yeah, put this picture up on the screen. Summer is when, summer solstice is when the sun hits the earth from above at an angle. and the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere and southern solstice, summer solstice in the southern hemisphere. That makes sense. That's why us in Australia have opposite seasons.

That makes so much sense now, actually. Wow. Believe scientists. Wow, women in STEM. That's actually crazy. Anyway, happy summer. Happy summer solstice. I don't know if this episode's going to go up.

It's the summer solstice. But wow. Today we are celebrating Isaac Newton. We're celebrating, hey, I don't know. Who else was kicking it during that time? Who were Isaac Newton's, who was his squad? Isaac Newton friends. He had a close friendship with the Swiss mathematician Nicholas Fattio de Dullier, who he met in London in 1689. Some of their correspondence has survived. Aw, besties. Bestie vibes only. Okay, best friend. Okay, Isaac. Yes, Isaac.

I could run a mile. I don't know why every time before I record a podcast episode, I'm like, you know what? I should overdose on caffeine. You know what? I should pump an IV of liquid Cafe Bustello into my fucking blood vessel. Maybe that's what I should do. This episode is brought to you by Progressive Insurance.

Here's what I actually want to talk about today, which is funny because I was talking about Equinox at the beginning. I hate the gym, dude. And I just, that's such a loaded statement because I don't mean like,

don't you hate the gym. Like, I hate when you have to go to the gym. I mean, I hate everything about gym culture. I hate the gym itself. I hate the building. I hate the people that go to it. I hate the concept of going to a gym. I hate the fitness culture around it.

I hate being a plus size person and going to the gym. Everything about it, I want to burn them all to the ground. So let's get into it. Um, first of all, walking into a gym as a person in a big body, there's not a worse feeling, by the way. I can't think of a worse feeling than walking in there and immediately feeling like, I don't belong here. Especially in fucking L.A. dude, everyone's in shape. It's like, I, everyone here wants me dead. Everyone here is plotting my imminent death and murder, and I need to leave before they actually act on it. Every time I go to a gym, I get really nervous and I have to shit. Like, I just go and poop.

sweaty, sweaty poop in the public gym bathroom. And I'm like, you know what? I could have saved myself all this and stayed at home and shit the comfort of my own bathroom. Okay. Also not to mention, the last apartment I lived at, it had a really nice gym. And I went in there twice, twice. The whole two years that I lived there. And the last time I went in there, I cried.

And I had to dissect it in therapy. Because I was like, hey, what the fuck am I crying for, by the way? it was just like a really triggering experience. I really don't know what caused it. Like it was very, very strange. And I walked in there and I was literally just walking on the treadmill and I put it in a slight incline and I started crying. I just started openly sobbing.

Thank Christ I was the only person in there. I was watching Love Island on my iPad walking on the treadmill and I was just sobbing. It's something, I think it just triggered something really deep of like, I feel like I don't belong in this space. Like, like my body does not belong in this space. And I was alone, which is crazy.

Like, no one made me feel that way. It was totally self-inflicted. It was so strange. And, uh, one time I went on a hike with, um,

some friends to the Hollywood sign. Like we walked, we hiked up to the Hollywood sign. It was like a two hour hike. And I got to the top and I started crying. And my friends were like, hey, what the fuck?

It's something about physical exertion. and like exercise, I feel just so unwelcome in that space because I've never, that's never been my thing. I've never been athletic. I've never been in shape. I've never been healthy in that way. It's just like I feel so out of place and self-conscious, but not even about my body just like almost like fish out of water. Like I'm self-conscious. Like everyone here knows that I don't do this. It's so weird. Anyway, yeah, I got to the top of the Hollywood sign, just started openly sobbing. Anyway, so let's get into it.

I hate the gym because when I'm there, everyone else needs to leave. Okay, like I paid to be here. Can everyone else leave? I don't need hot men looking at me. That is, oh my God, to add insult to injury. I already don't want to be there. I already feel like an outsider. Now there's going to be hot, sexy men that aren't going to look at me,

that are going to watch me struggle, watch me get red in the face, I am so white, I'm pink. Literally like, I've been down to, if I drop someone on the floor, I bend down to get it and I come back up and my face is red. Just any exertion, I turn brighter than a tomato, just red. Everything's dirty. Just like dirty equipment. So you have to touch other people's like butt juice.

You have to like sit and rub and lick on other people's butt juice, dude. Like, I don't, even, oh, I'm going to bring my towel. I'm going to wipe all the equipment down and then use that same towel to wipe my face, you're getting pink eye. Immediately, guess what, I have pink eye. I have double pink eye and somehow I have pink eye in my butthole too. Okay? What?

Like, in what universe? Is it like, yeah, I'm going to bring this rag to wipe down the equipment? Wipe it down when you're done. It still has your sweat on it. It just seems so gross and unsanitary and you smell like metal afterward. because all the equipment is metal and the weights are metal. And it's just like, ugh. I always have to have diarrhea in the gym bathroom.

Like always. I think it may be the nerves of just like being there. Like everything I just said, it's like I'm anxious. But then on top of that, it's something about, man, my blood gets pumping. I'm pooping. All right? We're working it out of our system. I also just think like, what am I?

I walk into a gym and I'm like, yeah, let's do it! And then I do the treadmill, and then I walk to another piece of equipment, and I sit down and I'm like, what the fuck am I doing? If it's one of these where you grab the bar and you lift it, I don't know what muscle that's supposed to be working out. Biceps, maybe, but if it's biceps, then shouldn't you curl from the bottom? And then those things where you push it with your leg, I'm going to fucking do it. crack my spine in half. Like, I'm going to walk into a gym one day and someone's just going to find my dead body. Like, I'm going to kill myself by accident. I don't even want to die. I'm just going to,

like, using a piece of equipment wrong, and it's going to have 350 pounds of weight on it, and I'm just going to snap something and I'm going to die. And then Equinox is going to be like, oh, another, like, I am going to kill myself by accident. I have always had that fear that I'm going to do something, or I'm going to be there and I'm going to be too prideful to ask somebody for help. Like I'm going to really hurt myself. I just, I have that fear. Yeah, and I just turn red like a crawfish. Like a fucking boiled lobster.

It's also, it's so like, even if no one's like, okay, you go into a gym, nine times out of ten, no one's looking at you the way that you think everyone's staring at you. Right? Like no one, it's never as bad as you think. But even then, like, if I'm on a piece of equipment and I just did, you know, whatever, I did the, the, whatever this is where you pull it down. And I'm like, ooh, good workout, good workout team. And I sit, I get up and I look at the seat and my gooch print is on the leather seat.

I have to run out of there. That is humiliating. my my gooch print someone can the FBI using gooch prints to identify people like I wiped everything down I wiped all my fingerprints whatever but they're like hmm this gooch print matches our files Google show me this guy's balls please this episode is brought to you by progressive insurance fiscally responsible financial geniuses monetary magicians these are things people say about drivers who switch their car insurance to Progressive and save hundreds.

On top of the goose prints, men at the gym scare me, and also I am horny. Men at the gym are the scariest type of men, but also, hey, I'm looking, and mama likes what she's she and mama's on the prowl. If you let me loose in a gym when I'm ovulating, sorry. TMI. It's like, it is like a hungry wild animal at a buffet. It's like if you let me go

off of six white claws into a Vegas buffet, that's similar to me at a gym when I'm obviating. That's literally what it feels like. Men scare me and I'm horny. That's the title of my autobiography when it comes out. I also just get bored. like you're at the gym. It's so boring. I can only watch so many TikToks or watch so many TV episodes or like I've tried to read a book before like on the treadmill. You just can't. It's so boring.

And people are always like, you could do what you do in bed, like read or be on TikTok, but just be at the gym. No! I would rather be laying down. And then when I'm laying down in bed at night, I can spiral about my body. It's harder to spiral about your body when you're actively using it. My therapist listening to this like, you know, because it's always like 2 a.m. when I'm like, tomorrow's the day. I am going to start. I'm going to change my life. I'm going to turn my life around. Hey, never do. Hey, I never do.

I get bored and then also you have to wear a sports bra. Sports bra is cut into my shoulder meat. sports bra they cut into the meat on my shoulders because that's not muscle there that's just plain meat you could cut the meat from my meaty neck and back and shoulders and sell it in lean slabs like ground turkey sorry hey gross but i've said this before my meat like if geoffrey d'amer would buy that meat pack of oh pretty roasty meat and then cook it he'd be like, that's too acidic. Like, I drink so much Pepsi and Coke and coffee. Like, my meat is very vinaigory. It tastes like pickles. I know that for a fact. Okay? I know that for an absolute fact. On top of the sport, like, just workout athletic clothes, I'll wear that every single day.

Like my Lulu Lemon shorts are the only thing that let my Gooch breathe and don't chafe me and don't cut into my gut. Like, I wanted to be a girl that was like, I know, the lemon is so stupid. And then I bought my first pair of those like buttery shorts and I was like, do damn it. These are good. It's not those like really tight Amazon or like any off brand leggings shorts where they're just, it's too thick of a material. And I know that's for a purpose. It's like to soak up sweat or whatever. but like it cuts into my gut and it makes me want to scream.

It's like when your jeans are too tight, you have to drive and even unbuttoning them, they're too tight. It's like, oh, Lulu Lemon, like, I get it. Guys, I get it. Okay? The thought of a personal trainer makes me want to cry. Like, don't look at me. Like, if I could have a personal trainer that just stood in another room

and didn't look at me, but just told me what to do, like, I'll do it. That's fine. Like, okay, you're going to do five sets of whatever, and I'm just going to go smoke a cigarette outside. Like, period, bitch. If Katia was my personal trainer, that's my dream scenario. If Katia was like, okay, you're going to do this and you're going to stretch like this, and I'll be waiting outside smoking. Period.

Okay? That's my dream. That's my dream scenario. I would work out if that were the case. Leave me to my own devices. What does that mean? leave me to my own devices meaning. To allow someone to do what he or she wants or is able to do without being controlled or held

by anyone, often used as be left to one's own devices. Origin. The source of this idiom is French, it seems. The relevant definition in this case for device, the earliest citation for this is the following from 1300. Damn. Pat he nesulris al at his own dews. This translates to something like,

That he shall rise all at his own device. It is slothful and sluggishness to take penance at thy devices. That's crazy. Ooh, this is in the Bible. Jeremiah 1812, King James Version. And they said, there is no hope, but we will walk after our own devices, and we will everyone do the imagination of his evis.

heart. So what, but what does it, where does it come from? Why did that come to be? The word device comes from the verb devise with an S to leave someone unsupervised to do whatever they want. What does devise mean, devise? Plan or invent by careful thought. Oh, oh, plan or invent, a complex procedure, system, or mechanism by careful thought. So if you leave some, one to their own devices. It's the outcome of devising. That makes sense. Anyway, back to working out.

Sometimes, like, especially during the pandemic, I feel like everyone had this phase where they were, like, doing the Chloe, what was her name? The workout girl from YouTube. Like, everyone was watching her ab workouts, like 90-minute rock hard abs. Like, I did it, and I was like, oh, fuck. Oh, fuck. I'm dying. And I guess what? I don't have rock hard abs. Because I gave up. But I feel like for a second,

everyone was doing that. They were like, well, we're all stuck inside. Let's work out. And I did that. And I was so fucking embarrassed. Who up being embarrassed? Hey, smash that fucking light button. If you're in your room being embarrassed by yourself. Like that was literally, I would do it. And I was like, what am I doing? Sometimes I get this flash of like, it's the, office. I'm in the office, but no one else is in the room and it's just one camera that's kind of through an open doorway, just focusing on me. And I get so embarrassed. Anyway, I'm also just, like, grossed out by gym culture. Like, to really, to wrap it all with a bow, I'm so grossed out by the fitness culture of denying yourself the basic pleasures of life. Of, like, you can't put seasoning

on your food because it has extra calories. Like, what are you talking about? What are you talking about? You guys are fucking weird. Just plain rice and chicken and broccoli, no seasonings. Hey, you need to, like, have a Coke. Hey, sir, have a milkshake. Maybe put some, like, I don't know,

Lowry's seasoned salt on your food from time to time. See if your quality of life improves. It's just like doing all that for what? You're denying yourself eating really good food and maybe sometimes resting and taking a nap and just laying. One of the simple pleasures in life is laying down. And I believe that. I just don't get it.

And I think it's also super toxic to be like, you need to wake up at 4 a.m. You need to do this. You need to do that. And you can't do this and whatever. It's like, humans aren't meant to be, to do that. I think Europeans just got it right of like, take a little nap in the middle of the day. Have a little siesta. All the business is shut down.

Everyone like goes home and has a little coffee or takes a nap, has a pastry. And then you go back to work. It's like, yeah, I'll get my work. done but like um i want to enjoy life as well the american work schedule is just so not sustainable it's not realistic and fitness culture fits into that somehow it's just like your body is an oiled machine no it's fucking not i'm a human being i'm not firing on all cylinders all the time i have like two cylinders and sometimes one don't even work i'm just so like anti-fitness culture i think it's it's totally fine to be healthy and to want to be healthy and to respect your body and,

you know, take care of your body. You can do that without subscribing to the toxic narrative and lifestyle of what IG fitness culture is. It's just gross and it turns me off and I just, you know, whatever. This episode is brought to you by Progressive Insurance. Fiscally responsible, financial geniuses, monetary magicians.

Okay, switching topics for a second. I'm ready to come out as a nightmare before Christmas adult. This is my coming out as a Jack Skellington adult.

Okay? I am one of those people that's like, I have Jack Skellington Crocs. I want to get a Jack Skellington tattoo. Like, I walk into Hot Topic and I see Nightmare Before Christmas. up and I'm like, yeah! I always was like, you fucking bitches are so weird with like Invader Zim stuff and Jack Skellington stuff.

Like, y'all are weird. And now I've come to the light side. Or the dark side. Like, I get it, dude. I'm on your team. I'm on your side. Nighting before Christmas is so fucking sleigh. The claymation is so...

I love claymation. I just love the claymation. Corpse Bride is one of my favorite movies of all time. And I think that Nightmare Before Christmas gets a bad rep because the people that like it are weird. I mean, look at me.

I'm wearing a sweatshirt that says freak mode. I just like, also this is Dorian Electra's merch. Love you, Dorian. I just, I'm so, I have been so anti-Jack Skellington and Tim Burton and now I'm fully embracing it. I'm ready to embrace it. Zero the ghost dog. Get into it, bitch.

I'm so into it. The music is so good. What's his name? Danny Elfman. Just like legend. I'm so... I'm tired of hiding in the dark. You won't...

I will not hide any longer. I love Nightmare before Christmas. But I will say even, like, to this day, because I watched it when I was a child and I was like, this is so weird. anyone who likes this is so weird. I watched it again. I watched it every year around Halloween.

And then I stop watching it halfway through because I want it to be a Halloween movie so bad. And when I see all the Christmas stuff, I'm like, ugh, boring. I turn it off. I'll only watch it halfway through. These little fuckers still scare me. Okay, I will admit that.

They scare the fuck out of me. That's terrifying. Like, still, as an adult, when I watch, when I watch Night Before Christmas, I'm like, I don't really, death. Okay, he's very freaking scary. What the hell? And he's hot. Okay, he's hot. They're hot. Don't, okay, because this is, I think everyone should understand, and I think if you don't understand, you're lying. Because Jack Skellington is the ideal man. He's tall, thin, aggressively pale,

has spindly little fingers and arms and legs, I'm upset like he is the ideal man. This is the ideal male figure. Okay? This is the unattainable male body type. We don't want abs. We don't want bulging muscles. I want Jack Skellington.

I want him biblically. I want him as a mate. As a primal. I want him as a mate. And I'm like if Sally was thick. Sally was a little thick. I'm like if Sally wore a size 18 and shopped at she in. If Sally was a fast fashion sleigh girl.

If Sally modeled for fashion nova, that's like what I am. I just love Jack Skellington, dude. Do you guys ever get this thing where it's like, you really love an animated character? You're like, oh my guy, I love him so much. And then you look up the voice actor to see if they're hot. Because ideally you want the voice actor to look like the animated character. And they never do.

When I found out who voiced Aladdin, I was like, are you joking? What the fuck? I thought he was going to look like Aladdin. He doesn't. And I think he's white too. Aladdin voice actor. Yeah, Scott Winger. That is the whitest man I've ever seen.

One jump ahead of the block. I think I'll take a stroll around the block. Aladdin's my favorite. Disney movie, Aladdin and Hercules. Like, I wanted him when I was sentient and I was like, oh my God, Aladdin isn't a real character. Someone voices him. And I looked it up. I was like, no, no, no. When Jack Skellington didn't look like Jack Skellington, no. Oh, me, oh, me, oh God. No, there's nothing worse. There's nothing worse. ruin my dreams

Everyone has a bulging sack. Deviant art. Yeah, American online art community that features artwork, videography, and photography. Well, they don't say that it's like fellow artist and enthusiasts. Yeah, it's all like fan-made stuff. Have you all seen that picture of Aladdin? Aladdin, no pants. It's like his legs are fucking balls.

His legs are like a ballster. His legs are ball sack. because his knees are like the rounded parts of me Googling Aladdin nut sack pants. Aladdin nut sack legs. Oh my God. I did not know Aladdin had a sequel, dude. That is so exciting. Did Hercules have a sequel?

Sequels. You're a hero. Direct to video follow up to 1997 animated feature Hercules. Oh my God. Oh my God. I bet these are ass. I bet that's why no one talks about him, dude. Like, do I ruin the sanctity of Aladdin and Hercules

by watching the sequel? Or do I just let it exist as what it is? And do I just enjoy it and let it be? Oh, I'm devastated. Hercules Zero to Hero is an hour and ten minutes long and it has a 6.2 out of 10 on IMDB. Aladdin and the King of Thieves has the same, 6.3 out of 10

for Aladdin. In this animated sequel after months of preparation for their wedding, Aladdin and his beloved Princess Jasmine are close to the big day. When Aladdin learns his father, Qasim is still alive, he tracks him down. Drama!

Cassim says he's been hunting the hand of Midas, which turns everything it touches into gold. Aladdin invites him to stay at the palace, but Qasem's obsession with the hand soon grows too strong for his new life. Is Robin Williams in it? Keep me things, Robin Williams. Yeah, he's in it.

Yeah. Wait, I might have seen this. Or maybe not. Robin Williams would reprise the role of the genie reportedly for a $1 million salary after he... Ooh, there's tea. After a contract dispute with the Disney company over likeness rights, Robin Williams agreed to return for this film as the voice of the genie.

reportedly for a $1 million salary after he received an apology from Joe Roth for Disney, breaching an agreement not to use his voice to merchandise products inspired by Aladdin. Oh, so it was like a merchandise thing. That is tea bitch. Oh my God, I'm so excited. I'm going to go home. I'm going to go home. I'm going to go home. I'm going to go home to my room next door and watch Aladdin King of Thieves tonight

because, holy shit, holy shit. Anyway, back to, um, Jack Skellington. Yeah, it's terrifying. I think that that's also the sort of draw is that I've always loved, what's it called? Like, I've had morbid curiosity, which so many people do. You know, just like being really, really interested in the macabre and things that are creepy,

but not too creepy. Like, I'm not a horror film enthusiast, but I definitely want to hear about some scary stuff. Like, I want to hear about it. I want to read about it. I don't want to see it. Because if you show me, hey, I'm. gonna have nightmares and probably like jump off of a building or something. I don't know.

Anyway, I think that the charm of Nightmare Before Christmas is it's like so, it's campy now. Like it's so campy. It was original. It still is. Like, what an original concept and it's cute and it's terrifying.

I think it still holds up. And then the music is so good. And I need a zero tattoo so bad. Zero, the little ghost dog. One thing about Tim Burton, he loves a ghost dog. There's one in Corpse Bride, there's one in Nine Before Christmas, and there's one in a Frankenweeney.

The whole Frankenweeney movie is about ghost dog. And Jack is the perfect man. Like I said, he's emaciated, he's tall, curious, half dead. Everything you want in a partner has one foot in the grave, is dead. Speaking of death, I have something to say. I recently learned that Benadryl is like so, so bad for you. What do you mean by that? I take like one Benadryl a day. Benadryl side effects long term. Constipation, done. Blurred vision. Done. Memory problems? I literally have memory problems.

Anxiety dependence. Me needing my Benadryl fix. Me getting itchy and scratchy because I haven't taken my Benadryl. Benadryl is recommended only as a short-term treatment for people with symptoms of allergies or other conditions. Yeah, honestly, yeah, whatever. If you take Benadryl long term, you may develop long-term side effects of the medication. Well, that sucks because Benadryl is like allergies. Allergies for me, like Claritin, Zyrtec, that shit has never worked for me for some reason. Benadryl is the only thing that really stops my nose from running, stops me sneezing, stops the itchy eyes. And like I would take it in the morning when I used to work my 9 to 5, I would take it in the morning

and I would be fucking exhausted but then I would drink coffee like whatever. It was just this constant state of like I'm so fucking tired but I can't sleep because I had coffee. I miss corporate America. But now that like

I've been taking Benadryl since I was like 12? What does that mean? I'm scared. I also sometimes pop ibuprofen like it's candy because my body hurts dude. My body hurts.

What am I supposed to do? Like my nightly cocktail of ibuprofen and Benadryl. And now doctors are like, no, no, no. Oh, you've been doing that? You're going to die. What am I supposed to do? I love ibuprofen. Abiprofen, she's that girl.

Ibuprofen and 500 milligram Tylenol, me kissing my pill bottle. That's so troubling. It really does. Like, I don't know if it's just my family. But like, I, it's always like, oh, you got a headache. This hurts, whatever. Take an ibuprofen.

That's just what you do. So it's crazy to be like, oh, that can actually really, really harm you long term. It's like, but it's pain medication. I mean, I guess that checks out. Still, though, fucking Stanley told me, oh, you take Benadry, you know, that's so bad for you. I was like, no way. He was like, yeah. And I was like, oh, fuck.

Oh, shit. Because like, oh! I have, like, it's not my fault that my body can't handle being outside. It's not my fault that my body is like, the wind, the grass, I'm going to make today so miserable for you. I am, what's it called? The weakest link in the evolutionary chain. Because I smell pollen in my throat closes.

Maybe the world's trying to get rid of me. And for a good reason. I wasn't meant to survive the long-standing test of life and death. What's that called Darwinian survival of the fittest? I'm not the fittest, and I've never claimed to be. On top of ibuprofen and benedril, like, I know soda is so bad for you. Bro, I don't care. I don't care.

I don't care. This is what I was talking about the beginning of the episode. Like, I know that, okay, fitness-wise. Like, sure. seasoning saves you calories whatever but like that's one of the simple joys of life if i'm in pain i'm going to take an ibuprofen if i'm having a salty meal i want to have a coca cola with my meal because it's sugary and carbonated and sweet and good i just like you know soda's bad for you soda rots your gut and your teeth and you're this i don't care pour me up another one bartender

Hey, brother. That's how I feel. Also, a Coca-Cola can apparently like get the rust off of a car battery. Coke, what is that? If you pour Coke on like, what's the shit that comes out of batteries? Coca-Cola car battery. The corrosion. What does pouring coke on a car battery do?

The acid in Coke will neutralize the corrosion on the battery and cables. When the Coke has finished bubbling, take a wire brush and brush away any corrosion that is stuck around bolts or any hard-reach areas. So if that's doing that to a car battery, dude, hey, what's it doing to my gut? And then I go to the doctor and say, my tummy holds. Yeah, dude, this could literally melt the corrosion on a car battery, and I'm drinking it and pissing it out. Why does it burn when I pee? Maybe because I'm drinking acid. Cleaning a corroded car battery with Coca-Cola. Yeah, let me get some, let me put a straw in that. Can I get some extra acid in my coke, please? You guys actually have anything else that could

corrode my teeth? Yeah, just like really wear down the enamel. Oh, no. Oh, the Coke's fine. Oh, okay, great. Thank you. Yeah, I think, no, this is great. Thank you so much. Yeah, could we get bill like that's so scary i love coke why is everything good in life ever to be bad for you one hit bad for me is bad for me what is that song that is so bad for me when hit bad for me because i'm uh and what's wrong with that fucking a jr dude who listens to ajr if you to AGR, AJR, raise your hand. You're not allowed back here. No, thank you.

No, thank you. One sip, bad for me. One hit, bad for me. One kiss, bad for me. But I give in so easily. What? But I'm weak. And what's wrong with that?

I don't even know why this song is popular. AJR and like, who's the other one who makes music kind of like that? Oh, John Bellion. I do like some John Bellion songs, but it's the same sort of music that's like, it's been a really, really messed up week. Hot Chil Ray. Okay, wait, I take it back.

Hot Chal Ray fucking slice. Hot Chal Ray. It's been a really, really messed up week. Seven days of torture. Seven days of bitter. My girlfriend went cheating on me. She's a California dime, but it's time for me to quit her.

And like, I grew up kind of hearing that music. And I was like, yeah, like this interview with. Cameron where he was like, Hells Bells by ACDC, one of the best songs ever. I was like, okay, I'll give it a try. What is this song? Bitch, that entered me into this whole era where like

all I listened to was like ACDC, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Guns and Roses. Like it really opened up the white dad classic rock kind of pipeline for me. All thanks to Cameron Keyes saying, I still think about him to this day. That interview changed my life. Like Hells Bell's objectively, great song. Go listen to it tonight to honor Cameron Kasing.
