U. G. G. Uggs. Uggs. Oh my God, I thought you were about to do like you, you ugly. Yeah. Yeah. You ugly. I was like, why? We're ugly. Yeah, ugly, but not ugly. Ugly could be your full of your overfiring with like no offense. You're fugly. Hey, you're a bitch. What are you talking about? Oh, fake Uggs. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. There's nothing wrong with that.
I don't know if I feel that we have this conversation every year. I feel like last, I feel like last year when I, when I put on my ogres, you were like pretty supportive of the fact that not everything needs to be named brand. I agree with that wholeheartedly. I just like, I think what I'm, I feel like they should be platform. Men's ugs as platforms. Yeah. I think non platform things look weird now.
I'm seeing you and I'm hearing you, but I'm not standing with you. That's fine. I'm not standing in platforms with you. That's fine.
But I love my ug pieces. Yeah, they're not short. They are just like their mom. I I need to get short ones. Yeah, maybe that too. These are a little bit massive, but it's I feel like it's the same quality. I don't think so.
Well, mine are bear paws. That wasn't going to work as well with my step it up chance that I came up with on the spot. What is it? You. Oh, GG. Oh, right. Right. You can't really even do that because you're darn nugs. Well, I'm going to say B, E-A-R-P-A-W. I thought it was bear paws. No, bear paw.
That actually works kind of still. What is the thing you said? Do you respect the person you are when you're in the ogues? When you put on the ogues? When you put on the ogues? Yeah. Do it all the way through. Do you respect the person that you are when you put on the ogues? Oh my god, you're going to really be in Ireland to do that. I know. Are you going to bring your fugs? Like I kind of want to bring my fugs to Ireland.
I got to see what's going to fit in my bag with the template in Ireland. I need to look up the temp in Dublin. Okay, first of all, I leave tomorrow night, no way for London. Yeah, I'm very excited, but also like, huh? Yeah, because I haven't had any time to be excited about going across the pond. It's such a long drive across the pond from LA.
I know. I did step my step my pussy up and and and you did a seat. Yeah. Are you serious? Yeah, but I did it. I did it on my dad's discount. Really? Thanks. So it was pulling daddy strings. There was a little bit a little tiny bit more expensive. Why don't you always do that then? I forget. Connor, you have like a chip that fell out.
Did it land on my shoulder by chance? No. It landed in your panties. You are absolutely obsessed with my panties. Why couldn't you always just do that? For sure, this is the third week in a row where you're talking about my panties. Keep my panties in your mouth, Brooke. Why wouldn't you always just do that? Because I, it sometimes doesn't make sense to fly United. I only get it on United. Oh, you didn't say that.
Well, I hadn't gotten there yet because you kept talking about my panties and my chip that's in my panties. Okay, your panties are in a bunch right now. Be careful of your check. Yeah, in your mouth. They're bunched up in your mouth. Seriously? Spit them out. That's disgusting. Spit it out. No, I can't. They don't fit in my mouth because my invisible line's so fucking huge right now because I'm off track and they're loose. So I can't even fit your panties in my mouth.
You need to stay up on your own design. I need to reach you this hate comment I got about my mouth. Okay. Shit, where was it? You worked so hard and got so far, but at the end, it really doesn't even matter if you don't keep up with your own Islam every night. No, I think it was just this week or something.
Oh, oh, Keith, Keith, Keith are constantly, Keith are constantly moving and shuffling around if you don't keep them in place. You know, it's so weird is like, if you don't have an Amazon, it's like everyone else's teeth are just fully in their seat, like respecting each other's space. But like the second you introduce them to align to your mouth, they're like, hang on, musical chairs. Why? It's like, why don't Keith just sit still? Where are they constantly moving? Mine are always moving and I learned why.
From the dentist orthodontist, I mean, my bottom teeth were pressing up against my tops. How? And forcing them out, which is why I have I had that horse bite because like my bottom teeth were pressing on the top. Do your molars not touch in the back when you close your mouth? I don't know. Do it right now.
Well, I really want to find this comment because looking for her hate comment, I need to go to the dam did to so bad. However, I just have this, this feeling that I will never shake that I hate how many teeth I have. Like I wish it was just all one big piece. No, this is the hate comment I got was about that I should have had a few teeth removed.
I don't think I can find it. You can type in on your photos. I don't know if I screenshot it, but yeah, that's a good point. Anytime I'm looking for something with words, if you just quotation mark, like two. That's so true. That'll pull it up. But I didn't screenshot it. All right, I'll find it. Maybe I'll try to find it for bonus. And who's a what's it? Happy Wicked Week. Happy Wicked Week, yes. Happy Wicked Week. Is it Wicked Week because it's coming out?
I look at is coming out when in LA on Wednesday. So I'm going to see a Wednesday. But then I think Friday for most places. Yeah. I'm so excited. Why is LA getting special treatment? I think it's just there's just like an AMC Early Access thing. I don't know if it's LA specific or AMC specific. And there's only AMC's in California? No.
And why would they only do it here? We have enough going on. Maybe it's other places too. Wow. I actually like won't be able to see in London probably.
Yeah, go. That would be so fun to do alone. I'm not going to go to the movies in London, because I need to be having high tea all the time. When someone was like, hey, do you want to, like, what are your feelings on high tea? It was Maggie, Maggie was like, what are your feelings on high tea? And I was like, how would I know? And she's like, you would, I mean, like, are you open to it? And I was like, high test to us around? I was like, I wouldn't know that. Like it sounded like a TikTok. Like you might have high tea if you blah, blah, blah. And I was like,
I don't know, man. You're like, I don't know. I have high tea. You do? Yeah. Testosterone? Yes. Huh. How'd you find out? Blood. Blood. Blood. Blood, wow. Yeah. What does that entail? What is that? What kind of told does that take? It means that I have, like, that's what PCOS is. High tea. It's high tea and other, like, male, quote, unquote hormones, which is like really hot. Yeah. Yeah.
I'll take some. I would love to give you some of my tea. Maybe like on God. Maybe we'll meet up after the show. Yeah, maybe we could. Yeah. Well, I'm going to do. I'm going to do high tea with it. Can I tell you something, honest? Yeah. All of the like fancy, fancy, bougie, high tea places are so disgusting. What do you mean? Like, oh, could I interest you in a salmon lollipop covered in an eyeball glaze?
Yeah, no, I'm there. I'm liquid diet only. I really can't be messing around abroad with my stomach and truly like they bring out the craziest things. It's like no one, no one ever would want that would want it. It was literally me interested in Megan. I'm so sorry to say I think we went to sketch, which is like the busiest one. It was a lollipop.
Salmon moose with chunks of salmon so it was a orb an orb on a stick And then a glaze around it that was the texture and consists of the first layer of your eyeball So there's an eyeball coating Yeah, that's nasty Yeah, no, I'm thinking like maybe just a cup of tea. Yeah, you could do the cup of tea and I'll probably hold off on any sort of snacks while I have tea and
Because I don't like, if I'm drinking a hot beverage, the only thing I want in my mouth is a Biskoff cookie. Right? I got that. If I'm having tea or coffee. You could ask them to replace a salmon lollie with a Biskoff. What's a Biskoff? Yeah. Instead of the salmon lollie, I will do the American Airlines Biskoff. Biskoff, if you can fish one out. Yeah. I have like eight packs in my bags. I never eat them on the planet. I put them out. Really? I've been sleeping through them and it's been so upsetting.
You need to turn on your TV thing to be like, wake me for food. What? You can do that. How? Unlike the resting screen on flights, you can change a setting to like sleep off or like wake me for food. I've never seen that. You can. I don't want them to wake me. I want them to just leave it there in my hand. Put it in my hand. Put it in my hand. Put it in my hand while I'm sleeping. Yeah. It's like hard.
Wake me for food is just like something that would be written on the outside of like a bare den. That's an hibernation. Wake me for food. That's how I feel though. Like I really want to just like, I've already ordered my entree for my flight going out. What is it? That should be so nice. Oh my gosh, you know, I didn't press emit because I wanted to read off the options. Okay. Right now.
because I'm a little bit, I'm a little bit concerned. The one thing that sounds really good is spicy. And like I just don't know if that should be something that I, the journey that I take. I know that a lot of people are like, I would never poop on a plane. I don't feel that way. I think that's why the bathroom is there. Hello. No, no, keep talking. That's it. Yeah, I think all I had to say, I think depending on the length of the flight,
would be. Oh, you mean you shouldn't be pooping on like an hour and a half. I just don't know why anyone would choose that journey for themselves. You have to go. But it's kind of that, that to me reminds me of like when the train is approaching and it's either going to hit one person or eight people and you've chosen the eight people over the one person to me. Like the one person you love are eight strangers. Is that what are you talking about? Is that the conundrum? Yeah. Yeah. I think it's like, would you save like your sister or eight strangers?
That's a morally very heavy question. Yeah. That's like what they ask you in philosophy or ethics. To me, what I would ask you is, would you rather be uncomfortable for like an hour and a half or eight people smell what you had for breakfast? What I have for breakfast. Okay. Hands down hands D. Okay. HT home. Yeah. If I don't know, if I'll never see them again.
It is like a little bit, it's not even a moral dilemma for you at all. That's just kind of like- No, I really feel like everyone poops. So like if there's a bathroom and you have to poop, like you should use it. But if I didn't have to go that bad, I wouldn't. It would just be like if I really had to go. That was kind of the question I was raising. Yeah, if it was like I could hold it, I would. But if I couldn't, I wouldn't make myself feel bad about it.
Hey guys, we'd like to take a quick break to take a sponsor of today's episode. Liquid IV. Holidays are busy, huh? It's easy to forget to take care of yourself. I know that's true for me. Even the other day, it was like, one time I had a cup of water.
I can't answer that for myself either. The most simple thing, like a cup of water. When is it? I don't know. Whether you forget to take a sip of water during the office holiday party or start feeling thirsty after a long day of traveling or hosting, liquid IV will help you stay hydrated throughout the holidays.
With their packets of their hydration multiplier or their sugar free hydration multiplier, you get eight vitamins and nutrients, three times the electrolytes of the leading sports drink and no artificial sweeteners. A lot of you might be wondering, what do I love about liquid IV? Well, I actually love it because I actually like beef flavors. So it's a fun way to drink water while also getting those extra vitamins and staying hydrated.
So speaking about the flavors, when I'm home, my mom is so big on electrolytes that she will actually put her palm out with a pile of salt on her hand and be like, lick this. I'm like, I'll lick it off my hand. I don't really need to lick a pile of salt off your hand, mama. I don't really feel like I need to lick your hand, mama. So for that reason, I do like what I've eaten. It does, it hydrates you.
So that's good. Their true to fruit flavors are super yummy. My favorites are the sugar-free white peach or the classic lemon lime. I love the lemon lime one. One sick of liquid IV and 16 ounces of water hydrates better than water alone. Say hydrated through the holidays with liquid IV.

You know, and that's reminding me, I should have the seared turbot. What is turbot? A fish? That's so weird that you would ever name a fish that would be like, do you want it seared? That sounds disgusting. That sounds like a piece of machinery. That sounds like the name of a friendly cartoon robot in a movie. Yeah, I know I'm not a big seared girl. No, me neither. So baby spinach tortellacci. Tortellini? No, tortellacci. T-O-R-T-E-L-L-A-C-C-I.
What's tortellachi? Let's find out. Chunky Pomodoro sauce. I don't think that we should say the word chunky. You know what? Everyone's all up in arms about moist. No, chunky. Wait, what word don't I like? I wrote it down. You don't like chunky? Okay. Hang on. Words I don't like. It reminds me of what?
There's one word in my list, it's snack. Like you probably meant like when saying like, oh, he's a snack. No, no, no, I mean literally like when someone's like, I'm just going to have a snack. I'm like, it kind of makes me frown. I don't know. Oh, I think it's other people saying it too. Sue me. Okay, so baby spinach tortellachi, which I'm going to Google as well. What is tortellachi? Tore. Ooh, pretty.
It's a large stuffed pasta that originated in Italy. You might like it. Oh, that's looking really gorgeous. Yeah, you might like it. That's a mess. That angle I don't know so much about. That's kind of gross me out.
Oh, that looks good. Okay, cool. Whoa, the other one I said, that looks fine. And then this one I'm thinking you. Seared flat iron steak. My gut is telling me don't have steak on a plane. They made a whole movie about that. Steaks on a plane. And so I don't know. And that comes with mushroom gravy.
I would say no to the mushroom gravy. Yeah. And then the last option is spicy chicken with Thai style coconut ginger sauce, oudon noodles and certified vegetables. I love oudon. That's what I'm kind of going to go with. Okay. Then that's the one you didn't know because it was spicy, but you just made the decision. I didn't read the description and I love oudon noodles and I love certified vegetables.
how bad it could not really be on. I'm looking forward to hearing about it. And then I'm going to also just move forward with the starter. Should I have the Tuscan Sale Remain Salad? The Smoked Duck? Tuscan Sale? Sorry. Tuscan Kale Remain Salad. Smoked Duck? For the app? For the app. Smoked Duck with Parsonip puree and grilled granny Smith apple wedges. They really don't. They don't need to be doing Parsonip puree.
Literally took the words on my mouth. You're doing too damn much. Yeah, I feel like we'd be okay with the side of... I was gonna say we'd be okay with the side of parsnips, honestly, or without them.
I'm not going to miss. I'm not going to say, excuse me, where's the parsnip? This would have been so much better with parsnips. Yeah, not going to realize. Or the burrata. Oh, yeah. That kind of sense. But do I do burrata with follow up with spicy chicken? Sorry. What are we doing right now? I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I should have eaten breakfast. I think that would be like an important way to tell you something about burrata. Yeah. Tell me the thing about burrata that you're going to tell me. There's a restaurant by my house. It's an Italian restaurant. Yeah. They have a caprese salad in parentheses. They say no balsamic.
To brace your salad, no, well, it's not. Well, there's a shortage. No, it's not that. And so I, the waitress came over and I said, could I add balsamic? Like I understand that there's not balsamic on the salad as it comes. Can I please add it? No, because the chef wants it to be authentic Italian.
and they don't quote, quote, quote, don't do balsamic and end quote, which is a lie. They also don't cut the pizza there because apparently they don't cut the pizza in Italy, which also is a lie. And they also wouldn't give us any marinara sauce for a fried calamari because they don't do that in Italy.
If I asked them for a sauce in Italy for my fried calamari, they would give it to me. All of those things in Italy, if they didn't bring them initially, if I asked, they would be like, oh my God, of course. That reminds me of... You're taking themselves so seriously, it's pissing me off. That reminds me of when people are like...
Like it's a dog like your dog like what do you think how would he do this if he was in the wild? You know they're bred they're animals and I go He's not in the wild. He's not a wolf for a hundred he sleeps in a human bed He gets his nails done chef inspired. You can't say what he's a dog He's like what would he be doing in the wild? He wouldn't be in the wild right similar to the like if Brooke was a man She'd be canceled for us. Not a man. I'm not a man. Also. I'm not an Italy I'm not an Italy and if I wasn't Italy my point is if I wasn't Italy they would bring me balsamic and
My point also is, if you love that so much, go to Italy, chef. Don't come here and not make any modifications. Anyway, it really pisses me off. Let me just say, the amount of effort that it took them to print all new menus with the no-ball-sonic note, it would be easier to just get ball-sonic. You should brought your un-ball-sonic. Oh my God, should I bring my own Trader Joe's ball-sonic glaze? That sounds really good right now.
That is like so mean. So ask for balsamic. They don't bring it. They give me the salad. I take the balsamic out of my purse and drizzle it in front of the waitress.
I think that's fine. What are they going to do to take you out? Yeah. That would be a perfect security enthusiasm I would say if they take you out. I literally was just thinking that is O'Leary David. See, that's enough for me to be like, I don't think I want to surround myself with people that would that absolutely scoff at the idea of me getting a side of Balsamic. Anyway, I think I just am not going to go back to that restaurant. That's what I was saying. Even though it sucks because it's so convenient and it's like pretty good food. Yeah. But like, I, I, the no balsamic has just been keeping me up.
I don't know if I would, that's what I'm saying. I think you need to remove people like that from your life because they're no longer serving you quite literally. They're no longer serving you balls. Yeah. Sorry. That kind of got me a little heated. I know it is a heated topic. Um, do you want to hear a little breakthrough? I had recently? Yeah. Okay.
So I went to the farmers market last week for the second time since I lived where I lived. And it's, I always see it. It's the most unemployed thing that can happen in LA is how all of the farmers markets, most of the farmers markets are in the middle of a workday and they're packed. They're all Sundays.
No, like two of the ones I, like the one in, uh, Brent one is like Wednesday. The one in Venice is on Friday. Like it's, it's like eight a.m. to one. I'm like, who is that's not even summer. You literally have to like not have a job to go to that farmer's market. Anyways, I went and I always get these bagels from this woman that I love.
Literally, I feel like chosen family is just the woman that sells me these bagels. I feel a connect deep connection with her, even though she charges me full price and it really doesn't talk to me that much. Yeah. So I'll meet these these cheddar jalapeno bagels and they are to die for. I post so my answer. I saw that. So perfectly fluffy and she bakes the jalapenos into the bread. So you're getting like little bits of like kick and then there's cheddar. Anyways,
I've been so nervous. Every time I go to the farmer's market and I'm like, oh, everybody's looking at me. Like, I feel like I'm not meant to be there. Like, I feel like I'm the outsider and like, I feel like they're like, why is he here? So I was like feeling insecure at the farmer's market.
You know, and then I saw this meme the other day. You know, girls, the show girls. I do know it. With that one girl that was like, eat, pray, love girl, just like kind of just like what? Jessa. Jessa. There was a picture of her from her Instagram story where she always has Q and A's and she's just like really brutally straight forward with people.
Someone was like, how to, how to build confidence as an insecure young woman. And she goes, I think that you think about yourself too much. And I was like, Oh, be the farmer's market. Thanking everybody. I was about to ask you how it's connecting to the cheddar jalapeno bagel. Well, I was just a side note, side bar, but I was at the farmer's right. I'm like, no one gets a shit about me. Right. How narcissistic can you be to be insecure? Isn't that weird? I feel like insecurity is almost like a narcissistic trade. Interesting take. I know. Doesn't narcissism imply that you think very highly of yourself?
Narcissism in this case would be like everybody's looking at me and judging me when in reality, they're not. I think narcissism implies that like you think you're more important than others. I think that there's probably more than one center of narcissism. I see what you're saying. I think we're all narcissistic. Yeah, in a way. But that was kind of a breakthrough ahead. I was like, okay.
That's true. Like, just go to the farmer's market. No one gives a shit that you're there. Yeah. Get your bagel. Yeah. It is absolutely bananas. Who do these people think they are? The prices that they charge for blueberries? $20?
For no, I'll just go shoplift. Are you kidding me? No, I'm not going to shop for a carton granted. I got three is $20, but it's just three cartons of blueberries. Yeah, but they're small small cartons of blueberries. They shouldn't be $20. That's a fruit. I mean, yeah, I mean, they're small fruits. They're not $20. That makes sense to me though. If there's three cartons, like that's not crazy. This big. I mean, it's obviously expensive, but like I'm not chalked.
I don't know, it's just like, I better turn into Veronica Baruca, if I pay $20 for a blueberry. At Baruca? No, that was Byla Beauregard. Oh my bad. The Beauregard? That just slipped out. Yeah, Byla Beauregard, you're right. Hey guys, we want to take a quick break to take a sponsor of today's episode, Storyworth.

I've been seeing just blink and cry the whole time. I think I messed up my cornea really bad. Um, I know y'all are like really disturbed by Jonathan's habits for whatever reason. So I'm not going to use the word suck, but you can use a word suck.
He has a new target because it's closed off my neck for business. And it's my eyeball. He goes for my eyelids, no matter what I do. So now I think he scratched my cornea. And I don't know what to do. Do I get an eye patch? I have one in my backpack. Do you really? Can you get it for me right now? No, because I don't have my backpack. Are you kidding?
My eyes really in distress. I literally might have it right now in my toe bag. Go get me an iPad. It's right here. It's my toe bags right here. So can you look inside of it? Yeah, but talk about something if you don't mind. My eye hurts. Well, luckily you can use your mouth to tell us stuff under the podcast. I'm leaving Jonathan for seven days and I can't do it. Why? What are you doing? Going on that cruise.
Wait, what? I'm going on a cruise, you know that. With my whole family. Yeah, I do know that. Yeah, and I have to leave Jonathan. Thankfully, it's Morelda is staying with him, but I really am struggling. I don't see how I'm going to enjoy myself. See, a cruise is completely the kind of thing you can bring a cat on. I don't think so. Besides the water. I don't think it is at all. Why? I think there's a no pet policy, I would assume.
I'm just saying in terms of places that they could totally be. Yeah, he would have a blast, of course. Because you just leave him in the room. But I'm not bringing him on the cruise. But is he going to suck my neck, you think? Close your neck off her business, but he might now suck on your eyelids. Be careful. Do a double eye patch to bed. He hasn't sucked off anyone else yet.
Ew, don't talk about your cat sucking anyone off. This is going to get his flat. Sorry, that's going to go on Reddit. We're going to get flat on Tube. Oh, sorry. But I'd be so curious, Izzy.
Yeah, I'm gonna set up another tree for him in my room so that maybe he'll sleep on the tree instead of on your body and your neck and your eyeballs. Sorry, I guess I left my eye patch. Are you kidding? No, I looked though. Damn. As a good reminder to bring your eye patch with you wherever you go, you never know who's gonna need it. That's extremely true. J.D. What? J.D. Stop. Vance?
Yeah. No, Jack S does that bit. Oh, yeah. He's always like JD, please. I've been doing that all weekend. Really? Yes.
call Tristan and say JD. I don't want to. Why? Tristan, the other day I get a text. I am, this is last Sunday. I'm in bed. I'm so hungover. It's like two p.m. I'm still in bed and I get a text from Matt King. Hey, can we talk? Hey, can we talk? I don't like how we ended things. And like, I was like, Oh my gosh. Hey, can we talk? I don't like how we ended things. Word for word.
And I was like, oh crap, like what? I said, wait, what question mark? And he's like, do you seriously not remember dot dot dot? And then I was like, oh my gosh, how drunk did I get? Like, did I check my call log? I'm like, I didn't talk to my king. I check his location. I'm like, is he in New York? No, no. And then my heart's pounding too. I'm like, what could I have done to Matt King? Finally, she texts and is like, sorry, that was Tristan. I need him to get the fuck out of my house right now.
I got this, too. He's like, I want him to leave my house so bad. Yeah. Oh, so good. The thing is, if you ask Tristan, like, there have been so many times in my house, I've been like, I think it's time for you to go. It only makes him want to stay more. You need to do, um, like reverse psychology on Tristan to get him to leave. There's nothing that, like, when he's in one of those states, there's nothing that can happen. I know him and Johnny at like three in the morning at my house was like, all right, yes.
Go ahead. Come on. Come on. Let's watch a music video. No, go home. Go home. I'm sure you noticed the publication that came out that I wasn't included in.
People sexiest. People sexiest. I just feel like we didn't address that ever. Walk us through how you're feeling. Well, I'm just, I know that it wasn't for lack of trying. I know that we had a lot of boots on the ground. Unfortunately, I think Mark asked us the army, the Mark army. What? Mark asked this army. Oh, must just be so much stronger, although they tend to move in silence. I'm surprised by that, as I have never heard of Mark. He did a Christian cavalry.
Who you love. And then we were graced with John Krasinski absolutely having not worked and I don't know how many many moons. Well, he's a he has been what's even quiet place and stuff. But it just sucks because I've been watching the office recently and I'm as I'm watching, I'm like, that is the sexiest man alive. Jim, 15 years ago, 15 years ago, but I look at this man and I feel nothing.
And that is like the perfect example of like him and Chris Pratt and Parks and Rec. It's like you should have just stayed as that form. You didn't have to be doing all this. But if you're happy, I'm happy for him, of course. And you know, he's a nice guy, I've heard. Have you? Yeah. I have. Like with all. I have no negative feelings toward John Kay, truly. What is wrong with me? Like I look at him and I feel
I don't feel good because I miss Jim era so much. It just makes me a little upset, the kind of Chris Pratt, John Krasinski transformation. This looking at him in the office makes me so giddy-giddy. Then looking at him now, I feel nothing, but I don't have any negative feelings for him. I do think he might have paid for this position. Aligned. Yeah. Do you want to also pay attention to me about that? That's why I feel that way. I already was like,
It didn't like popping in my head. That's a possibility until you want set it. And I was like, Oh, it should have been like in terms of relevance, which is, I thought that was the whole thing. I thought so too. But last year was Patrick Dempsey. Timeless piece. He just had a must be. I don't agree. I think he lost relevance. So he could have paid for that. You know, I told everyone that Patrick Dempsey was going to be at my about Mitzvah for what reason. Get them there. Oh.
Bob Mitzvah is 13 years old. Yeah. So your big selling point for your Bob Mitzvah is that a 50 year old was going to be there? Well, Patrick Dempsey, and he was not 50 then. He's been 50 for a long time. He has, but he was maybe almost like 40 then. Okay. Yeah. I think my point stands. But that's good. Yeah. Dr. Majorini. Show up. That's weird. I know. I agree. I need an eye patch like that. I can't help you. I already told you I looked. It's in my backpack.
backpack backpack Connor. Yeah Did you see me just lick the mic? No, I've been I don't want to say this but like I just looked and I was like my nose is fully running onto my mic Sorry, and I'm kind of I'm kind of in that kind of mood where like it's cold out my nose is running but in like a cute festive way It's not like
It's like cute little sneezes. It's like cute. It's like, let me. Yeah, it's like, yeah, it's like I'm excited for Christmas. Like I could almost like wipe it with the sleeve of my sweater and it's cute. And it's not going to like leave that mark on your sweater. Yeah, it's like sweet and darling. Yeah, it's like sweet and darling and endearing. Like I'm blushing kind of, and my nose is redding. Lizzacea from the cold. Yeah, adorable. Like a cute, cute, cute, cute. Not like a sickly runny nose. Oh god, no, it's like precious.
Childish, it's like childlike wonder. Yeah, I have a runny nose, but it's like it's walking the mile in PE class. It's a walking the mile in PE class nose because it's running so slowly and softly. Yeah, it's cute. I completely am aligned with that. Happy Wicked Week and I've been watching obviously all of the
Interviews leading up to it. The press interviews with Jonathan Bailey and Jeff Goldblum. It's literally like us doing the podcast, those two, because Jeff Goldblum has been breaking out into song. Have you seen it? I know I have seen it. Every five seconds. Literally, they'll just be like, um, and like, how do you think that you would get into character and I'll just be like, she's a brick house and it's so fucking funny.
That's, yeah, I saw that one. That one's good. Yeah. He's funny. He's- He's hysterical. He's kooky. He's kooky. Yeah. I love him. He seems like the exact same person that he plays and everything too. Except apartments.com. Like kooky. Apartments. Yeah. I think they dropped him, actually, as the- the rep for them. Was he apartments.com? I'm pretty sure he was apartments.com.
And now it's- Apartments that, yeah? No, that's booking.com booking, yeah. Okay. But no, because now it's not boanying. Dan Levy and that girl from SNL that I can never remember her name. Something Gardner, Heidi Gardner. It's them. And I hate those commercials now. They're really like 3D printing. Oh, I love Jeff. Yeah, but he's been dropped. I fear from apartments. Maybe he dropped. It seems that they went a different direction entirely. Maybe he went a different direction. Okay.

I'm trying to think of what I haven't talked about. Okay, go ahead. I saw this video on TikTok that was this girl that was like, there is this voice that some female TikTokers have developed that's like almost kind of like a valley girl accent, but it's an internet accent. And she was talking about how fucking annoying it is and how she like can't stand the sound of like this specific voice that these girls have developed. And then she did an imitation. It is my voice verbatim.
But I'm going to. It's like not even funny. So the girl that made my life a living hell in high school, she had this very particular way of speaking. And I pick up on it immediately when people do it because it's triggering for me. I'm like, it takes me back. And it's becoming an influencer accent. It's becoming an epidemic amongst influencers. It's not necessarily an accent, but it's more like a way of speaking that's paired with like the traditional influencer accent.
It's a traditional influence or action. I'm going to get into character for a second. It's like, galley girl accent with like vocal fry, but it's like adding this thing with the bottom of your mouth. Like a lot of like, you do not sound like that at all. I think I do. Everyone's tagging me in it. I know exactly who that sounds like. Everyone's tagging me in it. Everyone's tagging me in that. That doesn't sound like you at all. It got 6,000 likes that said bro at broke average. Can I see? I exaggerated it was 2,000, but I rounded up.
But yeah, obviously the person you're speaking about got 20 K life. Oh my God. Yeah. But I do think I sound like you don't sound like that because that's that's horrible. But you. Well, just know that I'm getting tagged in it. I know. I think you're getting tagged in it because that girl is from the East Coast. I can hear like genuinely. I don't think my like I think that by from birth, you don't have the valley girl part of that. Have you heard the sound of my voice when I was young?
I know, because how in those wicked clips, it's even more valley. Listen to this. That's the big secret. That's why it was not as little. Mine is. Hold on. What's the green bottom under your bed? You just showed that? No, you don't show that. I think that sounds really like Philly almost even. Yeah, like that's not valley, though. That's East Coast. There are such a fine line.
No, I think that that girl, the reason it sounded like you a little bit is because of the East Coast part, because I heard it at the first couple of things she said, I was like, that sounds like a girl on the East Coast, Jika. And then when she added the valley girl part, I go, dang, dang, dang. I was born with it. Yeah. It's not an influencer voice. No, that sounds more like that thing when you're like, okay, like that's what that sounds like maybe.
Do you know that there's this, sorry, I'm like going full hardcore special interest with Wicked, like in a scary way, but do you know they go, okay, in a song? Yeah. We'll look it up in the bonus. Is it, you know what I'm talking about? What's wrong? In the ends of your life when the air is like set. Oh, yeah. So what's the most specified basis in town? So it's also a spa room. Oh, you guys, I absolutely did not pick up on that last week. Yeah, we know.
I know. And I also couldn't see you. I, I don't want to say this a lot. No, I will. I drank a can last night and I thought of the funniest joke ever that someone has said and I, I'm not going to take credit for it. But I was laughing really hard and I was like, I'm going to, I'm going to do the joke on you. But now I don't think it's funny. I was happy with my eyes. When I remember that someone says, what's the difference between a table and a chair?
Sorry, what's the difference between a table and a chair? You don't eat off of the chair? I don't know, but what do they have in common? You can sit on both of them? They're both not hummus.
I don't hate it. I know. It's pretty funny. If you're in the right state of mind, it's absolutely mind-blowingly funny. I agree. That off of a can would be hysterical. Oh, y'all, I was dying. I was crying laughing. Also, when I got home the other day from where was I? Oh, Indianapolis and St. Louis last weekend.
My last two shows in the United States on the tour. Whoa. They're done. I'm done with the United States. Yeah. Wow. So much fun. I'm sad. Aww. I know. You could always go back out. I know. I am going to miss like it a little bit. Are you relieved at all?
It feels good to have something done. There is a sense of accomplishment. I do go to London and Dublin for the last two shows, which is going to be a big thing. How long will you be away? Chocolate chip in my chair. Where'd you come from? I chocolate it up. What were you even eating that had a chocolate chip? Of course, my perfect bar that needs to have candy in every flavor is just like, please make it peanut butter. What'd you say? How long will you be?
Abroad until the second of December. So I'll be doing Thanksgiving in a pub in Dublin. That's so fun. But this girl I talked to I did an interview with. She was like, there's a pub that does Thanksgiving inside it. Oh, oh, I'm doing a Dublin show. If anyone's listening in, you're in Dublin or you're in Ireland, please come. It's the only show that has tickets available. And there's a lot of them. Weirdly, like hello. I've never been to Ireland.
My old roommate from college, his family lives out there. He's dual citizenship. Are you serious? Yeah. They fully have accents. It's really funny. I have no idea. Yeah. Um, but yeah, I'm, I was telling you this because, oh, so I get, I got home the other night and I'm like, oh my gosh, I'm in my, I cleaned my apartment before I left. So it was like clean. I let a candle. I drank the can. And then I sat down to like watch Happy Gilmore, forgot my TV only works halfway. I was,
I was absolutely in the right mindset too. I watched Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison on half the screen at all. Two full movies on half a screen. That's fine. Sometimes all you need is the audio. Yeah. Would you rather be blind or deaf? Uh-uh. Deaf. Yeah. Me too.
Yeah, but then I need an iPad so fucking bad though. I know. Try to just maybe close your eye because that's a bit. I can't close just one. You can close them both. Relax. Take a load off. Take a load off. I'll just, I'll tell you this. So I went and to best buy a new TV. That's my whole story. Wow. But it was awesome because the new TV
I'm not going to hang up because I'm going to keep it on the, on your night tables. My night stands because I don't use my night stands for anything. My night stands are a treasure trove of fun artifacts. I don't spend any time in my bed. So there's nothing that I need to like store there. Like when I wake up, I get it. I like I'm up and I'm out of my bed. The reason, and the reason no one's seen my rooms because I don't like my actual bedroom right now, but I like my living room. I love my bedroom. I know. It's a shame. I'm never in it.
No, you should spend more time there. I know. People are like, bro, you need to like sit in your bed more, take a load off like you're never relaxing. Take a nap for once. I know. Yeah. Like get horizontal. You deserve it. Like once in your life, like you're always go, go, go, go, go. Bye.
My book goes out tomorrow. I'm sorry, I've been feeling so sick and nauseous. I've probably been so annoying this episode. I feel so sick. I have a piece of throw up in my throat. A chunk. Sending your book. I have a chunk in my throat. You are the only one that's bugged by the word chunk. I mean, what is it? Chunk. Yeah.
Yes. Tomorrow, it's blasting out. All your pages are being sent for review. It's 110 pages and then 40 pages of an outline of the rest of the book. What's the timeline on them reading? I think usually a few weeks, but they were like it could be a few days, but probably a few weeks. They said, do you want us to tell you when they pass?
Wait, what has passed? When they're like, not for us. Oh. And I said, maybe not right now.
But like someone, obviously like people are going to pass and I'm like going to try not to take it personally, but I'm scared that I'm going to like look at my books and like who the publishers are, every book I read in the future and not read the ones that pass on me. Even though I'm going to try to be really good. You're going to you're going to brook caught. I might be brook caught. No, I'm not going to take it personally. I've never taken anything personally. No, it's not like you. That's good. So I'll probably it'll probably be a no stress type of situation. That's exciting.
Like, oh my God, should I throw up? This is the scariest, I think this is the scariest thing that I've ever done. That's exciting. And you know, it's great about writing a book. This is so personal to you, but you could write 10 more. I know. It's just like an endless fountain of pulling things out of your brain. It's your intellectual property.
If a publisher buys it, it will be a two book deal. But what's crazy is our next episode of a recording tomorrow, so obviously we won't have any information then. But the next time I see you after Thanksgiving, we'll probably know something.
That's exciting. Isn't that scary? Wow, that is scary. I just got a little bit squeezed to myself. Yeah. So I'm really queasy. Sorry if I've been so annoying. I'm completely all over the place. What did I say? Like two episodes ago? It's a really transform. Oh, we have to manifest. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Say what you want to say. I hope that it gets published. That's not at all manifesting. That's hoping.
I will get public. Yeah, it'll get picked up by an intruder by so many, by all, by all of them, except a few, but because there are always all great books people pass on. You also kind of don't want options either because that would be paralyzing to be like, oh my gosh, I have to pick between six. I do want some options to maybe six to eight. How many are there? I think like maybe like 10 to 12 or 10 to 15.
It's going to be me. Thanks, Connor. At least you know, someone will pick it up out of 50. I don't know that, but they will. Right. In this space, 150% they will. That's exciting. And you know how I was saying that I fell in love with one of the characters that I wrote, like really badly and it was becoming unhealthy. I got some feedback on him as a young man and I have to completely rework him because they said he was really unrealistic and that no one would behave that way.
Yeah. Yeah. That's good. Yeah, because the main girl is like crazy and every single thing she did, he was like, babe, it's fine. I'm in love with you. And I was like, that feels good to me. And then the feedback was, this wouldn't ever happen. That's good too. It's fantasy. Yeah. So that's been altered. So that's good.
That'll be good when you reread it and you're like, oh, he's normal. Yeah, but I miss him. That's natural. Yeah, that's only natural. If you love something like that, you have to let it go. Yeah. Yeah. I love something. What do you love? The chocolate chip I found in my seat. Eat it. No, it's not. If you love something, you have to let it go. Maybe not eat it. But then it'll be a part of you forever.
No, trust me, it won't be a part of me forever. Hey guys, we want to take a quick break to thank the sponsor of today's episode, Quince. Quince is always the first place I visit when it starts to get cool in LA. This is actually a great reminder. I'm gonna go to Quince.com today. It's gonna cool in LA.
I know, until you connected those dots for me. I forgot. I didn't. Yeah. Go ahead. They have the best sweaters in outerwear for the best prices when it's time to shop for the fall. Something I'm really looking forward to as the weather turns cooler are movies in the theater, pumpkin spice lattes, and slipping into a cozy sweater from Quince. Quince is known for their Mongolian cashmere sweaters from $50.
And it's not just that. All quince items are priced 50% to 80% less than similar brands. That includes beautiful other jackets, cotton cardigans, soft denim, and so much more.
You're probably wondering how they're able to do that? Well, I'll tell you. By partnering directly with top factories and cutting out the cost of the middleman which passes on the savings to us. And Quince only works with factories that use safe, ethical, and responsible manufacturing practices. And of course, premium fabrics and finishes for that luxury look and feel at every piece. Brooke's always talking. Brooke cannot stop dying on her boyfriend, hoodie.
that she loves so much. But I want to talk about the means cashmere sweater that I got. My green one, you may know it. We keep going viral every time I wear that sweater. I don't know if it's because of what we're saying or because of the look and the feel that you can feel through the screen. The fit that fits me so well. I will be packing that that timeless piece for me to go to Europe. And because that's why, again, I'm so glad that we had this ad today because I
I need to slip. I need to slip into my men's Mongolian cashmere sweater. More comfortable. The quality is amazing. It's a perfect gift, by the way, for boyfriends, dads, and brothers. Yeah, you get one for Matthew. Oh, MG.

So they would be part of you forever.
No. Is that something that people do? No. They should. You're going to poop it out. I don't want my loved one to travel through my body like Mrs. Frizzle. How fun would that be though? How would you sleep at night as well? Jonathan sucking on my eyelid. Sorry. Sorry. You might have like a serious disease. I do.
Rosanna Pantia reveals she's smoking her dad's ashes and new Instagram story. His dying wish was to be grown into a cannabis plant and be smoked. Oh, who is this young woman? She's a chef. Oh my God.
Well, I will say Willie Nelson. That's a great idea. Willie Nelson's song, roll me up and smoke me when I die. Yeah. Like maybe I want my, I want my grandkids to do that. To me, I kind of felt like that was more of a play on words and less so smoke my, inhale my body into your lungs. But who might it say? Right. Different strokes for different folks. She seems to be enjoying smoking. That's awesome. So I think that that's going to really start to pick up now.
My mom would fucking kill me in the afterlife if I was rolling up a joint with her cremated body. She'd be like, well, I'm haunting you now. She'd be so mad if I'm haunting you. Speaking of your mom to you, consuming other people.
I just watched this show Florida Comma Man. It's Florida Man. And it was just on my TV lesson. And it's stories, and it must be made by the drunk history person that made that, because it's like reenactments. But it's all famous people doing the reenactment, but it's true stories. And this guy was saying he really needed to go to a bass nectar concert in Colorado, but he was broke. So he got on Craigslist and typed in like, I'm willing to do whatever within reason for some cash.
And he said he got a lot of like sexual things. And finally, he got one that wasn't sexual, but he was like, can I give you a call? It's my biggest fantasy. And he gets on the phone with this person and they say, I want you to cut off one of my toes and eat it in front of me. Like fry it up and eat it. Don't worry, it's not sexual.
Yeah. Um, I want you to eat my toe. And the guy was justifying it that like is telling the story. Like, I mean, like, in the moment, I kind of just was picturing myself in Colorado at base actor with my friends and like, that's where, and I was like, and he said he got to the guy's house and he was like a very normal, well adjusted man. Good looking. Ooh, this thing go.
But then he posted out right before he was about to cut the toe off. Because he was a karate teacher. And he's like, I don't know how to explain it to the kids. Why am I missing three toes? Wait, the guy posted out? The guy that hired? The guy that hired. Oh. So did he get the money or no?
The guy ended up giving him the money for showing up. Yeah, that's sweet. And at the end, it's $4,000. Oh my god. Yeah. At the end, he was like, I still every now and then get on Craigslist and type in, like, I'm strapped for cash. I will do whatever. And he said every now and then I get a message that's worded. And I know it's Stephen. And he'll message back and be like, hey, Stephen, it's me. You remember me? How's it going? He's like, good. You want to give it another try?
Because I'm ready now. Why does he want that? I wonder what is driving him? They had a sexual intimacy expert also speaking on the matter. I'd love to hear. She was like, the reason he backed out last minute is because people like the fantasy. My question is, why does he want it in the first place?
Because it's a sexual fantasy. Sure. Like where is it coming from? Mental illness. No, I know, but like what happened to him in the past? Or what is going on in his brain? The inspiration expert was like, it's a normal thing to have a fantasy about that, but as soon as it becomes real for people, they get timid and they back out. Hold on, I bet I've watched enough criminal minds to try to figure out. Okay, let me put myself in the mind.
Someone that wants someone that wants someone else to cut off and eat their toes. And they kept showing obviously fake toes like rolling around in butter on a frying pan. Maybe that's something his parents used to do. Eat each other's toes. Maybe they were on subs and they did that to others. I could definitely see it stemming from childhood trauma for sure.
but I don't know. The craziest part of the whole story is literally the guy being like, I needed to go to base Nectar. So like, I feel like the craziest part of the story is the guy that wants someone else to cut off his toes and eat them. I think it's crazier to justify as another person driving over to someone's house and being like, all right, time to eat a toe. Here's the question. You come across that. Answer tickets. You come across that Craigslist ad. Sure. Of someone saying, I'll literally do whatever.
What would you have that person do for you? Great question, Brooke. And like, is this something where it's like, okay, no one ever finds out what? Yes. Okay. I don't have any, I only have 10 toes, you know, so it's like, but I don't have anything that depraved, sorry for anyone interested in toe eating. I don't have anything like that. What would I have them do? I probably would have them go through all of my clothes and help me get rid of stuff and then drive it to Goodwill.
I was about to say I'd have someone put my couch together finally. Yeah. Like something that is just like way the weight of it. Yeah. And do all my laundry and then hang it back up so I can start like from the beginning. Yeah. Get you back to around the year. Yeah. That's what I would have them do. Yeah. Which is just like something that I could do. I also could hire a task rabbit to put my couch together.
two, but I don't think they would. They get it. It's crazy at my age. Like it would benefit me so much for my mom to come visit and help me with my clothes. She would visit all the time. They don't like L.A. though, so they don't spend any time up here. But they would. If your mom, if you asked your mom, she would. I think so too. I should ask my mom. Sweetheart. Yeah. You want to hear about this thing that I heard Amy Poehler and Kiki Palmer talk about on their podcast? They have a podcast? No. Yeah.
So Amy Poehler was talking about functional freeze. Have you heard of functional freeze? I exist in a functional freeze. Someone else given you like that insight or did you talk? I mean, this was on Amy's Instagram, but yes. Functional freeze is where you are really high performing high functioning at work. And then as soon as you're able to go home and relax, like you're like this.
Like you just go absolutely cross-eyed. Brain doesn't work. You're not reading. You're just literally like your brain shuts off. It's a frozen state. And I just found out like I will look at the wall for literally 20 minutes and then be like, whoa, what was that? Functional phrase.
I have, I think what I have is more of like functional depression where it's like, you don't even like feel depressed, but like, and I can do everything that I have to do. But when it comes to like the little things, it's just like there's no way, like there is no way I can pick up that pair of pants that I've walked by 18 times. It's impossible, but like I can go to work and perform well. Yeah. But like I can't wash my face. I'll die.
I get it. Oh my gosh. It reminds me of a saying that I just saw what the weight of life challenges aren't meant to be paralyzing. They're meant to help you grow. And that's about you picking those pants up. But like I can do big things. Like I could write a book. I can't pick my pants up. No.
Oh, you inspired me, by the way. I got a desktop computer. Oh, my God, I want one too. Yeah, it's really nice. The only thing is, like, as someone. An iMac? Yeah, it's my parents old one that they were getting rid of. Whoa. That shipped it to me. That's really sweet. I know. I go get a keyboard. Where'd you put it? $150. I'm like, I don't want to do this that bad. It's on my dining room table. That's the thing about
I'm not having guests over to dine. That's a fine place for a computer to be. It is a little upsetting, though, not to have a desk to put your computer on because of all the space. I told you I'm fully redoing that back room to be a study. Yeah, with that girl, right? Yeah. She's going to redo it all nice and pretty for me, and it's going to be like a reading. When is she doing that? January. That's exciting. Fresh new start. Fresh new start.
I will say, Connor, I got the litter robot for Jonathan, which is like a very expensive robot that scoops the litter for you and empties it into a bin at the bottom so you never have to scoop litter. I get ads for it for some reason. You just have to take out the bag of. Don't tell us that you're not taking the bag of poop out. I am taking the bag of poop out, but you literally rarely have to like once every three weeks. And the whole point is that you don't have to scoop litter and it doesn't smell. Unfortunately,
It mine like literally reeks, like beyond belief in a way that is out of this world you wouldn't believe. I think it's Jonathan, my little sweet baby boy.
Um, just has like a powerful stomach. So it's been challenging for us in the little robot. Is he, when you watch him, you just don't have to go in that room at all. Yeah. I just keep it open, like open to sliver so he can get in and out, but that's his room now. That's disgusting. Sorry. And I, I've cleaned it. Um, yeah. He's so he's the best. Sounds really awesome. He sounds like a great roommate.
No, you haven't even met him yet. He's like, he would be, he's addictive. He's the best boy in the world. Not having an animal in my house is really just killer. Like it's like, why am I here? He is. I agree. I don't know how I went without a cat for so long. The thing about having a dog that's like different is like, when I'm outside and I'm walking, it's like this almost feels weird that I'm walking and for what?
Without him. Yeah, I think like a pervert without a dog walking around like, where are you going? That's like, I'm going to take Jonathan for walks. I guess I could get one of those backpacks. I'm like so scared to take him out of the house. Yeah, let him get a little bigger and less like spazzy. Yeah. Um, I think I'm going to have to get another cat. If you feel called to get another smelly cat. Smelly cat, smelly cat.
Um, I have one thing that I want to talk about really quick before we were about to wrap, but he smells so good. It's crazy. Except his face and stomach in that entire room. It's just the litter box. Yeah. He himself smells like a baby. Yeah, that's nice though. Yeah, because he's on your face and making out with your eye.
Not making, don't make it sexual. Oh, sorry, sucking, sucking on your eye in my bed. So did you see, you saw the man on the street interview that I did in New York. Yes. Okay. Tell us about it. Well, I saw that you commented, oh, by the way, most viewed video on that guy is like, what did you, what are your thoughts? You were being so shy.
I was, that was the day that I was so hungover, I wanted to die. And I'm like literally like walking and I'm walking in slow motion and he's like, hey, man. So was that completely? You had no idea he was coming up to you? No, I thought it was, I literally, I've never seen that guy. I know there's a couple of people that do that now. Yeah, there's tons. So I was like, what? And he's like, oh, what do you do for a living? And I was like,
Oh my gosh, can't believe we're doing this right now. I said I can't believe we're doing this right now because specifically, I was like really in just wanting to lay down and be alone. And I was literally walking to get a coffee and that was going to wake me up a little bit, a little more perky. But at that point, I was just tired and just like beat up and he was asking me all these questions. I literally couldn't finish a sentence and I was being timid.
You bring him in and shy and shy everyone took it as charming show it was really sweet I genuinely meant what I said yeah. Connor I really meant it. No I was feeling a little bit I really was hoping he'd be like hey man I'm spreading positivity doing do you want to hug I would have accepted really yeah. So really just needed to be in a baby be on yeah.
I love that video, truly. Everyone thinks it was a fake, and I was like, you think I would fake that timid, shy. I've never seen you like that. I know, I was broken. I love it, though. Yeah, that was real funny. But everyone was like, I need you to, can't wait to hear about this on the bottom, like nothing to say. Yeah, not much. Except.
Ciao. Oh, I hear a horrible thing that I was thinking about teleportation. Why horrible? Just like I know that it's going to be available to us or not even to us, but like our grandkids will be like, you used to go to the airport and fly on a plane. He used to take you all day to get to like New York. And now they just go, I'm in Paris. You know what they call that in the a guitar world? What? Winnowing. What's winnowing? Yeah. Okay. It's good to make up words.
Yeah, we're knowing. I'm just, you don't think about that? Like, well, how much technology that people? It's insane. Like if I had the ability to teleport, I'd never take a step again. I'd never use my legs again. Well, you'd have to walk over to your portal. You wouldn't be magic. Oh, I thought I was magic. I'm sorry. No. Teleportation, I think would would require a portal. Oh, they're going to be so expensive. It's going to create like another type of like class distinction, like only the rich can teleport. It's going to create a whole thing.
I know, Taylor Swift's plane is going to be without meaning, without life. She could do 100,000 shows in a day. But honestly, maybe it would save a lot of fuel, or maybe it uses 18 times the amount. That's the same thing, like, what is it called mining, of Bitcoin mining or whatever, like you just so much fuel. I'm like, how is it using fuel? How is it using fuel? AI uses a lot of fuel. How weird is that? Yeah, I heard that. Gas?
Leave us out of this. Like a guy with a little bit of a cute running nose shouldn't have to worry about fossil fuels, you know? Yeah. JD. I should be able to have some soup. Yeah. Today. Oh, I can't say that. Why? There's no point because I have to say something that would hear something that I'll talk about. And I'm going to quit right here. So I got upgraded on Delta to like I'm silver medallion now because of how much I've been flying.
So it's been, they've been saying, you got upgraded. You got up for the, so for the first time ever in my adult life, my phone lot lit, lot up, lit up and was like, you've been upgraded. I was like, yes. Even though like I got a window seat and I was pretty happy with my seat. But I was like, I love to be upgraded. Yeah. It was for a connecting flight. The first flight was at 6 a.m. out of Indianapolis to St. Louis. Was it one of those planes that were like this big?
Small plan, but they moved me up to a middle seat. Yeah. Like front row, middle seat, roof seat. Like everyone's looking at me and I'm sitting in between two people. Yeah. And I was like, wow. Thank you. This sucks. But like learning moment, like I'm not going to opt in to the upgrade anymore. So lesson learned. Next slide. You've been upgraded immediately. My experience has left my brain. I'm like, yeah.
middle seat exact same seat middle seat next to the bathroom this time. And the worst part is that there was no overhead space.
for me there. So I had to put my bag in the back and the overhead space. Oh my God. And so I was sitting there middle seat, middle seat, middle seat, couldn't even get off the plane, which is the one benefit for being upgraded for me was that I could get off earlier. Couldn't even waited till the very end. Connor, that's really funny. It felt like I was like on a show like punked. I don't have anything else to say besides that's hysterical. It was crazy.
I like that you did it again. That's my favorite part of the story. It was immediately I was like, I feel like there's an episode of SpongeBob like that or something. Like immediately forget everything bad and it was like, and it was a tight connection. It was sort of like I got off the plane, walked to the other gate, got a water bottle and got on the plane immediately. I'm like, I love that.
Did you see Spirit Airlines filed for bankruptcy this morning? I did. I thought that was a few days ago. That could have been. Maybe they were talking about it. No, because I got the email today from their founder. Yeah. What if that email emails me? Ted Christie emailed me. It just means the same thing as anyone. Like finally bankruptcy. It just means like it gets you out of your debt temporarily. I think that's what bankruptcy is.
I declare bankruptcy. I've been watching a lot of the offices. I've been in hotels and like that's a comfort show in a hotel. It's just like on every block of TV on TV guide is like office office office office office and modern family, modern family, modern family, modern family.
I don't have the affinity towards Jim and Pam that you have. I have like the hell away from him. I'm not like obsessed me on belief with them. I'm not like a huge Pam girl. I think Jim is like a narcissistic dick that like loves himself. In season nine only. I don't know the whole time. Or eight is eight or nine. Just really smug. Jim is just really smug. He's such an arrogant.
Smudge, smug and air again. Smudge. Smudge. Yeah. No. Have you not seen the butt liquor scene? That's the best scene in all of the office. We'll have to watch in business. Yeah, I'd like to watch butt liquor in the office. Okay, let's watch butt liquor. I mean, we'll just close this off by saying butt liquor and also welcome to Brooklyn's Heart and Make a Podcast.

It's a broken con or make a game show. We, um, yeah, so you could say that again.
Is he literally brought in like a bunch of kids for us to do this? So go watch it. It's absolutely hilarious. They're low key. It was so fun. Yeah, we kicked their butts. It was so fun, but truly. It was nice to be teacher broke again for a second. You were teacher broke. I absolutely couldn't finish a sentence. Oh, no one could. I knew a couple of the answers. Definitely knew a couple.
