  • Reality competition shows like The Traitors are attracting viewers who typically avoid competition-focused content by emphasizing social dynamics and strategic gameplay over physical challenges
  • Personal humility and selective sharing of professional accomplishments is becoming a deliberate communication strategy among content creators
  • Parasocial relationships with public figures create expectations for transparency that can conflict with professional guidance and personal privacy

Full Transcript
Hello, good morning, how are you? Hey Bear. Bear, hey Belle. B and B make a C. I didn't realize you were going to wear that today because I was going to wear- I wish you had told me that you were going to wear your bearbell sweatsuit. Well, I could have worn maybe the top and you could have worn the bottoms. But we both decided to do the whole thing. Let's just both full send and call it what it is. I love it. Yeah. Oh my God, we're finishing together something. Yeah, we're such a duo. A duo. You could say. Yeah, I was going to say twosome. Ooh, I like that. I like duo better. They shortened twosome into just duo, which is nice. Speaking of bearbell's new flavor, tell me a little bit about it. Oh, this old thing. They just came out with a peanut butter and jelly flavor and I'm so curious. I am too. And you're a big peanut butter and jelly guy in general. Yeah. Well, for the longest time, for my whole life up until I guess college when it got to the point where it was just like, it's time to- To move on. Well, you're, you know, you have full time, you've actually like a half time job. What's it called? Heart time? Yeah, whoa. Oh my God, word. It's going to be like, I'm going to be like making new words and you're like, no, that one exists today. I can feel it happening. I was out with coworkers and they're like, we're going to get, what could it have been? It was some sort of fish, perhaps, brandzino. And I think it was a seafood restaurant. And so like, I really, my tubes were tied. I had to have some version of fish and I was not a fish guy. Where are you going with this? At some point I had to push myself outside of boundaries, but it's nice to be back. I thought you were going to pivot into brandzino flavor protein bar. No, I'm going to pivot away from brandzino completely. Okay. If you don't mind, unless you want to talk to my brandzino long. No, no, no, no, that's totally fine. I like this. This is good for me. This takes you back to my roots. It takes you back to one of my favorite duos, peanut butter and jelly. There's not many duos that are better. And PB and J. It's another dewey. Hi dewey. Ciao dewey. I wake up early. Honestly, I don't know if I can think of one right now. Okay, wait, I can think of one. I can think of a bad one. Who? Orange juice and toothpaste. That is a bad one. So what's the opposite of that? A good one. A good one. Like Sunny and Cher. Who's that? Connor. I don't know who that is. Like the music duo. Sunny and Cher. I know Cher. Yeah, she's one part of the duo. Well it's giving Cher. Yeah. What is who's Sunny? I've got you, baby. Sunny and Cher. Uh oh. Okay, never mind. That's the only duo I could think of right now. Well I'm thinking of food duos. A food duo. Okay, well I was thinking of Sunny and Cher. Or we're going to eat them? Let's just do it. Okay. Let's try this. I like, right off the bat, I like the crunchies on top. On top. I like the way you open. You're so clean, like a banana. Mine is going to come off in several pieces. Which is why a huge point of convention. I think should we make a conscious decision to like eat into the mic or out of it? We've gotten several strongly worded letters to stop eating into the mic. So I'm going to follow. But this is a food based segment. So it's like. Okay. Well my people, I'm going to suggest you just take your headphones out maybe for the next 10. Okay. And then. Seconds or minutes? How long will you be minutes? The next 10 seconds. I'm going to chew for 10 seconds. Okay. And then I'm going to swap whatever's left after I'm done chewing for 10 seconds, swallowing it whole. Okay. So it doesn't matter. Okay. Ready? Yeah. Ready? Yeah. Oh my God. Wait. There's it. Look at it. For whatever reason, I wasn't expecting the jelly to be like actual jelly. I was expecting like a jelly flavor. But there's jelly in there. There's jelly in there. This is like a PB&J. Wow. You know what? What? When I really thought I was stepping out of my comfort zone, I started toasting my PB&Js. This is what that's like. This is like a PB&J on the go. I guess you could take a regular PB&J on the go as well. But this one's even pocket sized PB&J. Right. Bottom of my backpack PB&J. Mmm. Well said. Yeah. Okay. I love it. Yeah. That was a nice, nice, nice treat. That was a great duo. Truly. Wow. I'll be finishing that shortly once I can chew into the mic again. Maybe after this segment. What a treat. What a treat. I really wasn't expecting that jelly. I know. And why weren't we? Sometimes jelly is where you least expect it. Like right there. But I guess it said PB&J. I just wasn't expecting physical jelly. Yeah. I wasn't either. And it was a nice surprise. Yeah. Well, cheers. Cheers. Hi, Connor. Hey, you. Yeah. I need to start off by letting you know that I made a mistake this morning. You can't be doing that. I know. But I'm only human. I've been getting a lot of these TikToks recently from a lot of like white women that are like. And a very Chinese time in their life. How did you know I was going to say that? Because I've been getting those for weeks. Oh, they're just like, so I turned Chinese last week and like obviously at first I'm looking at this and I'm like, this is going to be pretty offensive. But as you watch, it's like, no, they're not being offensive. They are adopting Chinese health customs into their lifestyle routine and diet. And so there's this whole trend of like being Chinese now, but it's not, it's not racially motivated. It's lifestyle motivated and diet motivated. And so one of the big things, and I'm hopping on the bandwagon because I love doing that. One of the big things is drinking hot water first thing in the morning and waiting to have your coffee. So apparently coffee first thing in the morning for a lot of people is not good for you because it spikes something. Okay. What is all? I think it spikes your cortisol. So you like should wait a little bit before your coffee. Whereas I usually have it first thing. So for the past few days, I've been doing hot water and or uncaffeinated tea in the morning and then waiting to have my coffee. Okay. Cause that hot water is really supposed to just jumpstart your metabolism, etc. Okay. So I've been doing that. And then yesterday I had my tea and then I was like, what if I just didn't have coffee? Yeah. Cause that could be something to try and I was fine. So it was like, maybe I don't need coffee at all. So if I did that this morning as well, it turns out I did need it pretty significantly. So what you saw a few minutes ago was me going to get coffee because I need it really, really badly. Well, and I did not have it this morning. So I'm sipping it now. So it might take like 10 to 20 for me to arrive. That's okay. That's something that I can live with completely. But I had my hot water. You can still be in a Chinese time in your life. Oh, and later I waited more than an hour before I had my coffee. That's the Chinese way. That's fine. That's the Chinese way. I tried something new and different that was a mistake. Oh my God. I'm not sure I'm correct to find the mistake right now. What? I was like, why can I feel wind on my navel? Your buttons out. My belly button, like these shirts don't, why would it choose to open in that way? Are those buttons lined up correctly? Oh. Yeah. Yeah. I like that sweater. It's like a structured cardigan. Yes. It's a lot of structure. I wasn't fishing for compliments when I did that, but I also wasn't fishing for insults. I appreciate that. Well, congrats on your journey. Thank you. And I have been feeling- Your journey, your journey eastward. I've been feeling really great with my hot water slash tea first thing when I wake up. Good. Thanks. I've been doing the jumps. Tell me about the jumps. I have not gotten past the hot water. I'm also, I'm also- You're also- I'm also becoming Chinese. I have not gotten past the hot water yet, so tell me about your jumps. Why don't I show you the jumps? Absolutely, Connor. Okay. So this is, this is something that the Chinese also do. I haven't seen any Chinese doing it. I've only seen white people doing it. Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, but they say that, they say that the Chinese are doing it. What? Well, show me. Okay. I did it this morning. I'll do it back here, if you can see. I've never done it with anybody. Okay. Okay. You're just like loose getting your body warmed up. It helps your lymph nodes. It helps the lymph nodes. Absolutely, I can tell. I think I combined several of the techniques into one. That's fine to do. But that's, that's my way. One is simply you can just jump. I think you can do this. Okay. There's something with the arms that I really think I wasn't doing. Hey, listen, it looked good. It looked great. No, you know what? Yes. Oh my God, it's this. That's a dance. That's like, isn't that Erkel or something? No, that's a dance. Oh, wait, no, that's Carlton. Yeah. You know what? We said we're becoming Chinese. We didn't say we are Chinese. So it is a journey. Yeah. Thank you for sharing. So as I work on, what's the altitude here? Okay, I'm going to move back over to my seat. Okay, move over to your seat because I have to show you something else that's in my purse. Because on the spirit of hot beverages, guess what this is? Can someone just, can you guys raise your hand if my belly button starts to come out? I'm like not willing or able to have a full 60 minutes of my belly button looking at the camera the same way I am. Look at me. Guess what this is that I'm going to have after this episode. What is that? I don't know. Miso soup. Is it packets like ramen? It's literally, this is the miso paste. This is dried tofu. This is seaweed. And this is green onion. And they're all in these little packets and you pour hot water over it and you have miso soup. And I've been doing it, drinking it in a mug. Wow. I want to say so. I'm here this week. I'm not. What do you mean? What do you mean? Oh, sorry. I'm physically here in the studio. What do you mean? I meant the week broader. I leave tomorrow, but I'm here right now. Okay. But I'm so happy to see you. I'm happy to see you. In a way. In a way. Do you want to tell us why you're here or you can't? No, I can. I'm hosting an award show tomorrow. It's so cool. This is versus agents. Yeah, I'm excited. I have like full blown, like a whole night, a whole evening of script, which is cool. We're going to have a teleprompter, but I was like, I would have, you know, like a pancake. Did you write your own jokes or have they been written for you? I wrote with someone else. You wrote with the team, right? Yeah. Written a writers' room? Yeah. Wow. Virtually. But it was great. It's fun. I was super fun. I know. It was like so collaborative. What a treat that was. Now I got in late on Monday and I rented a car and I got in so late that they were like, just go over to the lot from LAX. So you like take that shuttle, you go over to this lot and just go pick a car. Any car? Pick a car, any car. The only car that was left is a Ford F-250. So it's a Dually. It's like a, it's a diesel truck. It's pretty much what a cattle ranch or maybe load a Heifer into. I didn't know out of the last two sentences you said, I knew about four words. So it's a huge truck. That's the truck I'm driving around right now. I look like, I look like, you know when those like 11 year olds steal their parents' car from the gas station, they have to left the 11 year old in the car and he's speeding down the highway. It's like, we gotta pull him up. That's what I look like in this thing. It is impossible to drive. I see you as a truck person. I like, I like driving a truck. I enjoy having a truck. I enjoy, maybe it's because of like the way I'm built. It makes me feel, you know, like I get. Oh, you are built like a truck, baby. I'm built like a truck. Yeah. Like a semi. I'm Tonka. But I, yeah, I am enjoying it. Now, I gotta go turn it back in because immediately I hit something. It's just like, it's so big. Like I'm not, it's bigger than my hotel room. Are you gonna get in trouble? What? Are you gonna get in trouble? No, I got insurance. But it's just, I don't really understand in what world would someone flying into Los Angeles need a truck that could tow a mobile home? Like what, who needs that truck? And it was the only thing left. You put a lot of people fly into LAX to go on road trips, on camping road trips. I don't know about a lot, but someone definitely could and might. It's great, Brooke. I have to take, there's a little staircase like what you would get a French bulldog to get into your bed. Oh, there's no way I could get into this car. It like comes down when I open the door and I'm like, it takes me more than one second to get into the car. I have to grab something and hoist myself. Oh, yeah. It's lovely to be in that truck. Once you're in it. Once you finally get into the seat and then I lower my seat and I push it forward so I can reach the pedal, I have really enjoyed my time in there. It feels like you're in the office. You're heading out to the rigs. It is great. It is great. I'm glad that you're here and even though that it took the truck to get you here. Yeah. I have a story to tell you that I'm not ready to tell you yet. Is it the one that you texted me and Izzy and we're like something so gross just happened you're not even going to believe me, but I have proof. It seems like we've gone there on this podcast so many times. Like, I don't know. I don't know about this. I do want to hear it pretty significantly. I can tell you. No, you do have to. I'm fine with giving you some time before you say it, but you will have to say it before the episode ends. Are you going to say it now or are you going to say it like? No, I need a little bit of time. That's a good teaching strategy, by the way. Give two options and put the choice in your hands. So unbelievable. So you feel like you have agency. Will you tell the story now or will you tell the story? No, I'm going to tell it later. I am going to tell it later. Okay, great. But see, you will be telling the story champ. On my topics list, I just have Chinese and traders. What do you have to say about traders? I started watching. I had never watched before. Wow, bro. Yeah, I'm obsessed. I don't even know this girl sometimes. Sometimes I come back to town. I talk to her every week and then sometimes I come in and you've had like a seven day transformation where like you're different than you were last week and like every way. Thank you. I also don't smoke weed anymore. So I love this week. Chinese don't smoke weed. I love traders. My God. I mean. The name of few. I'm going to come back. She's like, I'm actually, I'm running for mayor. I can almost guarantee you that probably won't happen. I started smoking weed again. I'm running for mayor and I'm becoming Russian. You might be Russian by next week. Oh, absolutely. I am Russian. By, by blood. Ancest, an ancestry. Really? I think so. You're 99.9% Oskanazi Jew. Exactly. How are you Russian at all? That's what, that's where we come from. Russia? Yes. Eastern Europe. I need to do some reading. Eastern Europe. I didn't know that. But oh, absolutely. Okay. So yeah. But I love traders. I'm having so much fun. I really like traders too. I thought I didn't like reality competition shows because I don't like, like the, the challenges part I go on my phone for. But when they are fighting, you like the challenges. See those I'm like, I'm not invested in those. You worried about your belly button fall now? It's been, I keep feeling almost your breath on it. Oh really? Maybe it's my breath. It's probably my breath because I'm right here. No, I do love traders. I've been, I've been tuned in since the last time. Well, I went back and watched Dylan's season. Yeah. Yeah. What a talented individual. What a talented individual. And I've always known that about him. Me too. I've been in the way he moves through the world, but to watch him in action and Gabby. Gabby. Wow. Yeah. They are all really great. You know, they're doing a civilian season. I want to, so that's where I want to bring up. I want to do it. You wouldn't be on the civilian season. Yes, I would. I wouldn't be on this. I wouldn't be on the famous people when I asked already. Thanks. I think, I think, I don't think that you could go on a season of that as a civilian. I absolutely, I'm a civilian. I'm like Charlie D'Amelio going on Dancing Stars as the star instead of the dancer. No, it is not. Classically, a chain dancer. I am a civilian. I know by trade, you're a civilian, but no, but by profession, you're not. Well, let's say by profession. You're not a professionally trained civilian. That's what I'm saying. Well, like, I'm an, let's say I'm an author. That doesn't work for the current traders. Like, you don't have authors on that. It's like reality TV people. You don't have authors on that yet. I'm sure someone on that, on that show has or is currently writing a book. That's true. But they don't have influencers or authors on that. And I would say those are my two things. So I'm going to do civilian. I'm applying. Okay. Does anyone, she couldn't be on civilian. I could. I absolutely could. They're reaching out to influencers. They want influencers. I can't, I can't speak. You do not have to be a celebrity to play. We were looking for smart. I can. I guess. Sure. Strategic. A little bit. Every day people. Absolutely. To compete in the ultimate game of trust and treachery. You know, why do you not want me to go on traders? I do. Don't miss me. Oh, I'll miss you dearly. Now, Brooke, you have to be off your phone for six weeks. No, you don't. Yes, you do. I didn't know that. I asked. It's not six weeks. I already looked. I was worried about being away from my cats. It's two to four that you'd be there. And I didn't know about the phone. Is it safe and no phones on there? Is he? No, it does say. Oh, I can't go. To May, 2026. I'm busy, but I'll do next season. I'm not worried. It's another celebrity season. But if you cannot have your phone, that's something else that I need to look into. But other than that, I look forward to going on the next season of civilian traders. They come find me under my blanket and I'd be like, I'd look up. I'm like on Instagram. I just need to get some real time. I just need to get some real time. I think that this would be, this would essentially be like rehab for me from my phone. I think you can go on your phone. You can't go on your phone. Traders doesn't have any, like you don't need to be closed off from the outside world and not have contact with people. Like that's not necessarily the plot of the show, whereas it is in like the bachelor. Not really is it though? I feel like you probably can't have your phone in the castle, but in your hotel room. I feel like someone just told me that you can't have your phone on traders. I don't think they want you texting the other contestants. Yeah. Yeah. There, I will say something about traders. There needs to be romance. There needs to be more romance. Able to talk to his family and that was part of what made him willing to participate. Absolutely. I don't know if they get their own cell phones or if they get production devices or something. Here's what I'm fine with. I'm fine with just a device that I can touch. That's my thing. Even if it's an iPod touch, I need to be playing fruit merge. I need to be swiping. That's the thing. I need to be opening apps and closing them and then opening the same one that I just closed again. Exactly. It's like smoking a cigarette. As long as I can fiddle and I can talk to people, I'm okay. I need a live cam of my cat. We're tweakers. It's so crazy because I'm thinking about not having my phone. I was telling Izzy when I came in this morning, I was like, I need some Advil and I was like, because my eyes hurt from looking at my phone the past few days. I was like, when I wasn't on my phone, I was on my laptop and when I go from my phone to my laptop, my laptop feels like I'm reading a book. When I go from my laptop to the TV, it literally feels like I'm having dinner with my grandparents. That's how wholesome it gets when the screen gets bigger. For that reason, I need to be killed. It's for that reason? No. I'm just so angry and this could be a good break for us. Will you come on with me? I would love to. Great. No, I'm not selling myself as a civilian, no offense to civilians affected. I'm a shmedium. I think I'm somewhere in the middle. You're a stand-up comedian though. You are a Netflix as a joke. We are PB&J Brooklyn. You're a Netflix as a joke stand-up comedian. We are right there together walking hand in hand into this dark night and we're not going quietly. It would be so fun if we were the traitors. That's what I was going to ask you. Do you want to be a traitor or a faithful? I'm a liar. Do you want to be a traitor? Yeah, I would love to be. I think I would want to be a faithful. I think it would be fun to be. But I would also be disappointed to be one. Yeah, it'd be like, oh. I'd be stressed to be a faithful but at the end of the day, I'd be like, this is exciting. And I would be relieved to be a faithful but also disappointed. So win, win, lose, lose. It'd be fun to be on a show where it's like the point is to be a deceitful, lying, conniving, colluding, gossiping, commiserating, nasty, bitch. That would be so great. I think that'd be so fun. And then you get out and be like, oh, that's not me. I was just playing a game. And something that I can bring to the show, and this is a pitch for myself that I feel like traitors is lacking, is the romance. Now you'll notice Rob on this season can't help but notice the guy. And what? Why? I just, I can't help but notice. I just like him. Okay. Yeah. He's the one that closes friends. What do you mean? We've just been close for a long time. What do you mean? And the definition of the word. Do you know Rob? Yes, I know Rob. In what way? Well, we're like brothers only. Have you met? Closer. Oh God, yeah. When? Years ago. What did you, where? I don't know. What did you say? I don't remember. But you know you met? 100%. What was he like? Sweet. When he knew the word commiserating, when Michael was misusing that and he said that's not how you use the word, he stole my heart. He doesn't say much, but when he does. His words carry weight. And so during my confessionals, I don't know if I'm a traitor. I don't know if I'm a faithful. I know exactly what Rob said to me this morning over breakfast and how long we sustained eye contact. And I think that's what the show is missing and I would like to offer it to them. Thanks. So you'd like a, like a Casa Amor in Traders. I just think it, yeah, I think it's missing some romance. That could add a level of genre, say guac. Can they fratnar nice? That's not actually how you use that word. Out of the, like when you're out of the castle, I think they stay in hotels. Sorry if that's like, you're not supposed to talk about that. But like, are they locked in their rooms? They should be locked in their rooms because the traders need to leave and meet. So no one should be able to see that. So they should theoretically be locked in the rooms. But can they, so then they cannot hang? No. Can they hang? No. Um, that's a good question. I'm not cut up. So don't give me anything. There were hookups. Oh, there were hookups. MJ said on Jeff Lewis. Oh, if anything is going to come out, it's going to be on Jeff Lewis live. Is that what you went on? Oh, I'm always on Jeff Lewis live. Me and Jeff go as far back as me and Rob almost. Love to death. I want to hear more about you and Rob. And I feel like a lot of people would. People are loving Rob. I didn't know who he was on the violent because I don't watch the violent. I mean, he was, he came up in the tick tock class with us. He was like, he was like a tick tock. No, he wasn't. He's a snake wrangler. What do you think he was posting on tick tock? Connor. I don't know where he posted his snake content. Actually, was it on tick tock? Yeah. And on Instagram, of course. If that makes sense, I guess. Come on, reals. Okay. I'm obsessed with Instagram reals. You know what? I bet Rob would come on this podcast if you're such good friends. He would. I don't know if he would. Yeah, I could ask him. I think he should. I think it's a bad time. He's getting a lot of, he's busy. Get him while he's hot. Get him while he's hot. Okay. For the, for the press tour, assuming that they win. Get him while he's hot, Connor. You follow each other on Instagram, Connor? God, yeah. DM him. Okay. I'll DM him. What will you say? Oh my gosh. You want to know something crazy while we're talking about people that follow people? Yeah. Can everyone stop asking if I'm going to kill myself on Instagram? I'm good. I get this. You are not alone. I do too. I do too. I'm okay. I do too. I'm okay. I'm all right. If I was going to kill myself, I wouldn't be posting on Instagram. I promise you. So Henry Henry, Henry post, or text me this morning. He doesn't want this to be public, but I think this is fun. He posted a bag haul of his bags, liked by Sarah Jessica Parker and immediately followed. And he did not follow her back. I noticed. Or he might have since she followed, but it said follow back when she followed him. Well, yeah, she, she followed him. Like she followed first is what I'm trying to say. That's a crazy. I was like, yeah, you have completely made it. Yeah. Okay, Rob, half this podcast, maybe I'm like, yeah, I'm going to DM them. Here we go. Read it out. Read out loud what you will say. Hello. I'm going to you guys already have we chat. We're friends. There's a little, can I see? No private. Yeah. What are you guys talking about? Where you got his jacket? Where did he get it? Diesel. He's someone I would actually be very comfortable talking to. And I'm not even just saying that because it's like the kind of person that's so hot. It's like, I don't even care. Do you know what I mean? No. Yeah. Like that's not even like that's not someone that is going to be in my life long term. So it's like, I don't care. There's the stakes are really low. Does that make sense? Yeah. Gosh, dang it. What's the trouble? I just got on Instagram Reels. I love them. Because I keep getting, um, Did you message Rob? Yes, I said, would you come on the podcast, please? Heart. Let me see. I'm on Reels again. Oh, good job. Thanks. What was your last message? Where'd you get your jacket? Then he doesn't, he didn't need to respond. Wait, I have actually not really seen any of his content. Can we watch a snake wrangling? Can we do it in bonus? Yes. Absolutely Connor. Okay. Cause I don't know how much, I don't know how much audio is going to come through about him being like, whoa. Like, you know, I bet I'd have some commentary, but no worries. We can do it in bonus. Okay. Oh my gosh, I was going to tell you something. I wish you would. Oh my gosh, I was going to tell, Oh, the way I was going to tell you something Brooke. We got really like, we moved off of. Sorry, I took us to traitors. It's, it's completely fine. I liked talking about traders cause I'm enjoying that too. I'm so glad. Oh my gosh, what am I, what was I going to tell you? Do you want to tell us the gross thing? No, I'm going to save that for, I'm going to save that for at least 40 minutes in. Okay. So we have 15 minutes till the gross thing. Yeah. What would you like to talk about for the next 15? I don't know. There was like a lot of pop culture stuff that has gone down in the past week. Yeah. Should we talk about it? Well, it's funny cause I don't really give about any of the actual substance of the things that happened, like the Brooklyn Beckham thing disowning the family and what have you. I'm curious about that. That comes down to this thing that I said years ago about like A-list celebrities and how I kind of, like, I, here's the thing. Like I, I, I don't care about what happens with their family. It's literally none of our business, but I know they're having like a media off between the two where they're just like squashing each other. And it's sad to me. It makes me sad, but like, It makes me sad. But I also don't like when celebrities of this level, like humanize themselves. Like there's just, you know what, I'm sorry. Like I kind of like when celebrities are like larger than life. I do like that. Like that, that's what makes a celebrity. And so this like new age thing where celebrities are like, I'm just like you. And then like I'm fighting with my mom online. Like it, like, I'm like, oh, you're not supposed to do that. I'm supposed to fight with my mom online. I mean, it is helpful to know for some people because I know that's just something you prefer, but some people genuinely do not know that celebrities are people. So like it is a, it is a genuine reminder for some people, but I guess, but this is everyone is like, so like I'm team this, I'm team. I don't know anything about the Beckham's by the way. Like I truly like know nothing about D, V or B. Oh, you know the initials. Yeah. I know their names and I know their professions. Actually don't know what Brooklyn does. He cooks. But does he? And he's David Beckham's son. Yeah. That's all I know, but I don't really know anything about them. Everyone's so eager to take a side. This is an ongoing investigation. Right. We do not have all of the information yet, nor should we. And that's all I have to say. It just makes me sad. I'm seriously hung up on my mom was dancing inappropriately on me at my wedding. Yeah. God forbid she wants to shake some ass with her firstborn. That is where my attention went as well. I mean, what are you going to do? I mean, you throw a claim like posh spice was dancing inappropriately on me at my wedding. And then you look at David Beckham's tramp stamp of his son's name on above his cheeks. And it does, it does, but it doesn't look good. Well, it is also like, can you guys maybe just like, offline group text? I do think it's an offline thing. That being said, I do. It's tough because I do think it should be offline and I do want to see all that happened. Just, yeah, I think that there should be like opt in not like, it's newsletter newsletter. Sub-Sac. Yes. Well, what I opt in. Yeah, I would love to see it. It should be an option. Yeah. It should be an option. And also I ain't reading all that. Yeah. Congrats. Or sorry, that happened. And she is apparently quote on the floor in bits, like a Lego about this. She like is upset naturally. And she's told the daily son that why don't you, why doesn't she tell her son daily that she's upset? That is why you are a standup comedian. I'm really serious. To me, that is genius. Well, Brooke, Thank you. To me, you are genius. You are being so kind to just a man in a cardigan. No, I'm really serious. I think I really, when you thrive is when those things just slip out. It's all purely luck, but thank you. And it's also completely a gift from God. Yeah. Don't try to learn it. It's not luck. You can't. You've been like being more humble recently. Was there a time when it was? So there was a time when I was less. Yeah. But like you're not telling me any of your accomplishments. You're just being a little bit more under the radar. You're giving. So the example you're going to give, and I know what you're going to give is that yesterday it was announced that I am participating in Netflix's joke. That's insane. And I, and she, Brooke texted me, were you not going to say anything? And I was like, so. I got booked on Netflix as a joke months ago. I was like, that's amazing. Like that. Why didn't you text me when that happened? I didn't know it was like the legit, the legit one. So yesterday. You thought it was the fake one? Megan, I don't know. Like I didn't know it was this. Like I really didn't. Cause things, things come across my desk all that, you know, like stuff like, and I'm like, oh my gosh, cool. Like Netflix's joke. Like I thought it was just like maybe a one off show that I'm doing and it'll be like, cause I like, I've gotten in balance like VN Netflix before to do like a showcase where I go up and I do five minutes on a, on a big show that they're sponsoring. And so I like, in my brain, I was like, oh, it's something like that. And then Megan texted me and goes, all caps, Connor, are you joking? And I was like, oh no. What's got, what's happened? You know, as my mom online saying I dancing appropriately on her at her wedding, you know? No. It's that I'm on day three of Netflix is a joke festival with Seth Rogen that same night, Matt Reif. Let's see my close friend, Chelsea Handler, Mark Normand, Jonathan Van Ness and his friends, Sam Jay, Emile Joaquim. And why, and you didn't post about it? I was told I wasn't allowed to until today. I was waiting for you to post something so I could post it as well. And then everyone posted, but I was advised not to. And then I was sent my graphic. I was supposed to post it today. Yeah, I want that. And I was like, I hate that picture. We need to go back to the drawing board. And so I'm hoping to get the graphic shortly. Well, thank you. That's very sweet. And you didn't really tell anyone about your rom-com. Right. Yeah. I did a short film. I told you I was filming that. Yeah, but you were like low key about it and you didn't say anything when it came out. Well, because I can't find it for myself and watch it. What did you think? I thought it was so precious. Oh, good. Thanks. It was a fun thing to film. It's on YouTube. It's on YouTube. Yes. That's great. I looked up Conor Wood-Rom-Com because he's not going to give you any details for some reason. It's called Twixmas. Twixmas. It's cute. Yeah, and you didn't really talk about that either. We don't have to. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, we don't have to do it here. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It was really cute. Yeah. It's by our friend Jonah Feingold. I told you that. Yeah. I mean, he's so good. But yeah, you've just been a little bit more under the radar than I'm used to. Moving into silence, my belly button out when I say I'm moving into silence. You're low key. Good lord. You're low key. Some feedback for this brand, maybe, the belly. You need to give me another button there. Okay. Well, I'm very proud of you. I'm sweating. I'm very proud of you. Thank you. That's very sweet. And IU, as always. No need, champ. I have to perform a therapy exercise. On yourself or me? Me. Okay. Well, my new therapist is helping in the sense that when I get really anxious about something that I get really anxious about things that I don't know what the outcome is going to be, the unknown is very unsettling to me. And so it helps to verbalize plans and courses of action that I can take should X, Y, or Z happen. So I'm going to Philly this weekend for some work stuff. And I think I'm going to get snowed in. Yeah. I'm just going to say that it's a possibility that I'm going to get snowed in. You know, I don't know if I am. I don't know if I'm not. It's a possibility. And that's what's stressing me out. Hey, if I get snowed in, I'm going to be able to get home. And you'll be in Philly. I'll be in Philly. You could be somewhere. You could have been in Cleveland. I'm going to be able to get home. It's not the end of the world. I'm just more so stressed about the like I get to the airport. I'm there for five hours. It's delayed. It's late. Then it's finally canceled. Like I can't do that. Yeah, that's okay. But you know what? It happens. I'll have my Kindle. I'll have my laptop. My cats will be taken care of. And it will be okay. And I will get back to LA eventually. That calmed me down. Yeah. I really like my therapist. Wait. So it's just accepting things are out of your control? It's just accepting and just like, okay, you know what? This might happen. And if it does, here's what I can do. So those are my options. Options. Options. Because usually what I would have done in the past is just tell myself it's not going to get canceled. It's not going to get canceled. And so when it does, it's pretty bad. Because I've told myself it's not going to. Well, yeah. That's, I'm going to have to put that on my phone, even though it is simply just like accepting that things are out of your control. But the way you set it for some reason, I'm going to use the Philly, being second Philly as an example. I'm going, so this ice storm that's coming, I guess is like once in a lifetime. Oh, great. They said that this is an ice storm. You're not going to forget whatever that means. So the one that's happening on Monday you're talking about? Oh, yeah. That's when my point out is absolutely. Cool. Hey, and I might get, I might get sucked there. No worries. Fine. It's a big gift to us. Awesome snow day. Hey. Or ice day. I think that the ice storm itself is supposed to be pretty devastating. Pretty hard for planes to fly in icy conditions, isn't it? I've heard that. Yeah. I think more so, less so fly, more so take off and land. Yeah, exactly. Flying is fine. But the good news is that they can land in LA completely fine. So they just need to get out. They just need to get out, which seems to me to be easier. I'm now getting, because I'm going to North Carolina next week, which will also be under duress, in duress. I think under was good. Using duress. What is this? Being in duress be like. So North Carolina is going to be affected by the storm as well. Allegedly. Really? It's like the whole thing. It's like everybody. So. When do you leave here? Do you leave here to go to North Carolina? Friday. No, I go back to New York. Okay. And then I'm in New York for a couple of days. But I heard, I mean, it's just been like, it's just been like miserable in New York too. Like yucky. It's also going to be seven degrees. So anything that does come from the sky will freeze pretty immediately on the ground. On impact. On site. Let me know if you guys are like flight experts, what you think I should do if I'm flying out of Philly on Monday? Should I just not even bother? Should I just book a flight for Tuesday? But I need to be back in LA. Just let me know what I should do. I'm trying not to stress about it. It's a little bit challenging for me. So. Who cares? The thing where like everybody gets pushed. I think I should take the later from Monday to, no, because then you'll get rolled over to the next day regardless. Yeah. But like I feel like the later the flight, the more like the storm will be stopping possibly at the end of the day. But it'll be night. So it'll just be colder. Maybe like a 4pm. Let me know what I should do. I'm serious. Please help me. That was like the evening that I had to be back. It was the night before the Radio City Music Show when I was doing Jake's tour and we were in DC the night before and I did the opening and then they were like, you can look he like if you want to fly home tonight, we're going to take the bus back from DC. So and we're going to sleep on the bus, but you could make it home on like a tent, like a 9.30pm flight. Washington DC is one of those fuck ass places with several airports and it just searches all of them for you. Even though one's 49 minutes away and one's 11. And so I obviously booked the 49 minute away one. Missed that flight. And then the next one, delayed, delayed, delayed, delayed. One AM had to go back to my hotel, spend the night in DC, fly out the next morning. They were in bed at 2am in New York. I don't handle those situations like. It's not fun, but it's something you got to laugh. I see. I don't get to that point. Oh, I'm just like, oh, this is just, I'm going to have an ice cream. But you know, I'm going to go into the airport being like I have my laptop, my Kindle, my notebook. Let's treat it as a writing day. A getaway. Let's treat it as a writing day. And if I happen to get on the plane, that's fabulous. If I don't look at how much work I got done. Well said. Thank you. I love the airport. See, I don't, I don't connect with that, but. I could like, I wish that there was. I wish there was a massive Barnes and Noble in the airport. I wish there was someplace I could go that was the airport, but I don't have to get on the plane. And not go through security. The mall. The mall. The people yearn for the mall. It's such a damn shame. They're all abandoned now. What? Not really. I keep having dreams. Whoa, that just brought me back. Brooke. Sorry. This is, I feel like I get feedback every time I talk about my dreams. People are like, no, no one gives a shit about your dreams. I'm like, okay, I have to tell someone. I had a dream on what ice fishing with my high school sweetheart. Whoa. I had a dream I was fishing last night, but more importantly, the world was ending. And I look up in the sky and Logan was, my cousin Logan was moving up to LA and I was helping her move. And she's in this building and then I look up and all of, it was like an Elon Musk level, like all of these drones are landing and they're spraying something. And we're like trying to get inside and it had gotten like all over my skin and my eyes and it was making everyone go blind. That's really horrible. Yeah. I like, that is a good genre though, blind apocalypse. It wasn't good when it was happening to me. Just like for, like bird box, you know, that was a good. That was blind by choice though. Obviously it was like life or death situation, but like she chose. I'm just saying apocalypse movies where you're, you don't have sight. Sandra Bullock does a lot of blind themed movies. Yeah. Blind side. Blind side, bird box. What about box needed to be emphasized for blindness? I felt right when I was. I totally got it. Hi, 40 minutes. Time for your gross story. No way. Oh wow. No, no, no, I'm not ready. You made a choice. I just don't think like I should have just subtly just put it in. Oh my God. Okay. So yesterday morning I woke up pretty early and I went on a walk and I. In LA. In LA. I go, I get a coffee, I get a coffee, I walk down to the beach and I go on to the sand and I walk in the, I'm like walking in the water, holding my shoes, whatever. And it was just like, and the fog rolled in by like 8 a.m. And you love fog? It's a fog year. It's the year of fog. And I'm kind of down at the beach and it was cool. It was just like, it was like all of this negative space. I was like, this is like the coolest thing. I took a bunch of cool pictures. There was just some dolphins. Oh, is that your fingers? Sorry. Oh no, it's okay. I was just like, I'm hearing something. I'm going out my fingernails. That's another new personality. Wow. Yeah. And so I walk back. I'm like, I'm having an amazing day. And I go and I sit in the grass and I'm just sitting there. I have my shoes off. I'm laying back. I'm relaxing. And then I keep walking home and I'm like, okay, I'm going to get one more coffee on the way home. So I get off the sand. I put my shoes on. I'm walking up. I get a coffee. I popped into this thrift store that I'd been wanting to look into. And then there's like a new baby store that opened on the street and I was like, I want to look because the toys look cool. I was like, I'm going to be in the hotel for a little bit. I might get a puzzle or something. I don't know. And then I'm almost home. I don't even know where it like. You do. You had seaweed on your foot? I wish. So. Izzy, do you know what? So I itch my face. Bird poop. I itch my face and I'm like. Regular poop. I look at my hand. Poop on my hand. And then I get my phone out. I'm like, if I smell it, is it? Look at my face. Poop on my face.哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎哎 Look at my foot. It's in my shoes. Wait, you didn't notice you slipped your foot into poop. There's poop in my shoe. So I guess two things could have happened. There's poop in your one on your face. Brooke. Poop all over me. One. I stepped in poop while I was barefoot in the sand. Oh. One option. Now I walked. How do you not feel that? Or two, when I was relaxing, something or someone pooped in my shoes when they were off of me. Either way, how do you not feel? The thing is, I think I would have noticed if I had stepped in poop. So I'm leaning towards the second option that someone pooped in my shoe while I was relaxing. Because I was laying back, eyes closed off my phone. Anything this was a human? I don't want to accept that, but it wasn't looking like dog poop and it was not bird. It wasn't Santa Monica. So there's a genuinely decent chance it was a person that pooped in my shoe while I was relaxing. I have a photo. There is a photo. I'm going to show you guys after. I'm not going to do it right now. I'm not going to get, just know that it sounds like I'm making this up. I started crying, like I was tearing up. Because guys, I want to emphasize one more time. I visited three establishments with poop. Guys, and it was, there was enough poop where it was like humming out of the shoe. At least it wasn't on your face yet. At least it wasn't on your face till later. I was a patron of like, I got a coffee. I went into a thrift store like shoe full of poop. And get this. But it was on your hand the whole time. It was on my hand the whole time. Absolutely. And there wasn't a ton of poop on my hand. I could see it. And then I obviously, I'm pretty close to my hotel, but I'm mortified. I'm just like, there's poop all over me. And then I was like, I can't go. I'm like, do I throw away my shoes out here? And I'm like, I have to. They're not usable shoes. But I could also just get into my hotel. But then I was like, I have to get in the, what if someone gets in the elevator with me? I was like, I have to, sorry, I went down to the ocean. I bathed in the ocean. I had to. You had to. There was nowhere to go. I had to go wash off in the ocean. That's what the ocean's for. I mean, it was just like shoeless bathing in the ocean. Just like thinking about, like, I'm thinking about like how many people walked by me. And I'm like, I must look cool today. Like I'm like, I have a good outfit on. I was just like. Wow. So that was a story. I'm glad we got in. That was worth it. That was worth the wait. Thank you for sharing that. There's like, there's just like not a world where that happens to anyone else. I agree. I agree. I do agree. Me and my huge truck poop in my shoe. My stupid, chungus life. Poop all over me. Pooped all over front of me. Pooped on the side of my face. Oh my gosh. Oh, that's really horrible and amazing. So I took like the hottest shower you can ever take. I can't even imagine. Like an hour long. And then you just have to like get on a zoom call and act like you didn't just have poop all over you. That is like, I don't know if I, I think I'd call it. I needed normalcy to happen. Like I needed my day to like continue on so I could shake that. Yeah. It's just something that like, you're like, I'm talking out loud, by the way. Like, no, no, like when, we could just have, I'm like going through like, I'm like, no, no, no, no. And like there's guys walking by in suits and something like, it's not me. It's not me. It was you. Wow. Pooped in your shoe. So that is off my chest and off my face and off of my foot now, which feels so good. Wow. I'm going to move forward. How do we move on from that? I'm just going to move forward. We had a conversation last week about how did it come up when I was telling you like, I've heard several people be like, isn't my dog sexy? So I know exactly what it was. I sent you a DM. I'm going to go into our DMs. There's like a genre of book. It's Minotaur romance. So I sent you, there's a new romance called Meetings with the Minotaur and it's gay, Minotaur and I was like, this could be interesting for me. Big horns, big secrets, even bigger chemistry. Yeah. And then there's Morning Glory, Milking Farm. And then there's Bad Boy Minotaur. Yeah. But I like hadn't been interested in it until I was like Minotaur's secret baby. Izzy, can you look up Meetings with the Minotaur? Love it, Labyrinth Solutions Book 1. You don't need to look up Love it, Labyrinth Solutions Book 1, but. So, you know, this because of the heated rivalry and everything, I've been really into like gay romance and I was like, maybe this could be good. But then I was Conor and I were talking about like, wait, is like Minotaur romance, B.C. Ality low key. And it, but it's not because the issue with B.C. Ality is consent. And this is like, they're like human-esque. Oh, the Minotaur's. Oh my God. Anyway, that's how we started talking about B.C. Ality and dog. Well, I mean, if Meetings with the Minotaur is considered B.C. Ality, so would Beauty and the Beast. Which is not. Which like, I have a little bit of an issue with Beauty and the Beast, because I'm having trouble, because that's obviously a cow, you know, with like legs and he's wearing, he's working on Wall Street. Well, I think that that would show, I think it's kind of like, this is just a different kind of person, because it is more, they are like human. Maybe I have a closed mind. Yeah, I do think that that's what is trying to show you. Because I too, I'm a little unsettled. Like I don't, like Morning Glory, Milk and Farm is like a big book. And I've been like, I don't think I can do that. Do you see where I'm coming from where it's like, okay, if you are like, because Minotaur's aren't real. Do you know what I mean? Like that, I think it's opening people up to be like, like I want to fuck that Warthog, you know, like I get to, I don't think that that's a huge leap to be made. Well, they're not, they don't have, what is the word called sentience? No, animals have sentience. What's the word? It's like, not, it's like human. Consciousness. Like no, because animals have that too. Yeah. Let me, let me look. Why aren't romances about Minotaur's beast? Let's hit the experts here. Definitely someone on. Oh, sapient. Sapient. Yeah. They're sapient consenting humanoid entities. And that's all you need to know. Period. Period on God. So that's it. So that's really. But then anyway, Connor, we're saying. Well, yeah, well then this is where there's a genre of people who are like, how sexy is my dog? You know, like I've seen this so many times and then Brooke has never seen it happen. I've not seen so many people like Tik Toks be like, isn't my dog like low key? Has anyone seen that? No. Any people say that? Wow. Okay. Wow. I thought this was a larger issue and you do build your algorithm by things that you engage with. Brooke, I've worked, baby. Hmm. So have you seen that from anyone you know or just algorithm? I've heard people say that, that I know. Like I feel like that is something maybe that your cousin Logan would say. You got it. I didn't even have to say it. So I don't think that that counts as, I don't think that that can be applied. I don't think it's like. Anyone else. I don't think that can fall to a most. I'm going to hook up with my pet. I didn't think it was. I think it's more like if my pet turned into a human, we would. He would be a hot. Go on a date. Yeah. I could see that. That makes more sense to me that my dog is hot. I know. Well, I think that that's. It makes sense to be like my, if my dog morphed into a humanoid sapient consensual being, he would be a good looking guy. I get. I know, but that's just like making the comparison that like this would be a good looking man. I know exactly what my cats would look like if they turned into humans. Yeah. Rob would be like a total beef cake with a buzz cut. See now we're eating like it's like weird to me that we would make that. I didn't mean hot. Okay. I just meant like beef cake as in like, like thicker, like a sturdier guy. Okay. And John would be very like twink based twink forward. Got it. So it's this book. Oh my God. A little. That is Robin John. Yeah. Oh, I love that Connor. Thanks for sharing. I know. I'm so excited for people to come back with feedback on the like seeing people post that their dogs are out there. I know there's a community of people that are just like. When you framed it as dog turning into human, that made more sense. That's what I, yeah, I think that they are saying that, but people are just blatantly being like, how hot is my dog? With your cousin, I would, I feel like it is more like this dog is hot. She's married to a man and has a baby like with a man, not a dog, but it did. Yeah, she would. Yeah. I think and I think that she would agree. She'd be okay. I think with us saying that. I'm glad we covered that today. Oh, me too. We're going a few different places today. Oh, white lotus season four. Saint Tropez. Is it is going to be in Saint Tropez? I thought it was going to be in like France. Me too. I think I told you that and I think I made it up. The white lotus is heading to Saint Tropez. Wait, Saint Tropez is in France. Oh, I'm so smart. The suites at the 19th century palace turned luxury hotel run 3K to 8K per night with a spa beach access by Rolls Royce transfer restaurants, sports activities and a children's camp. Chris Messina is in talks to me in it, who is that guy I love from the Mindy project. Oh, yeah. You remember he was in that peacock show also that I loved based on a true story. I will freak out if that's the case. I love him. I don't know why I don't like the idea of it being in like a European country, but I do think that they were getting like a lot of flak for going to places. It was in Italy season two. Oh, yeah, it was. That was good. Yeah. Okay, maybe you might like it too. I thought they were supposed to go somewhere cold this season. I think that would play too. I think they should go to Iceland. I think they should go to Greenland. Greenland's colder than Iceland. No, and then half of it is just like Trump coming and being like, we're buying this now. You guys have like, it's America. I don't know what's happening with that, but luckily that's like not something that we need to cover on this podcast. Good luck everybody else. No, I think this will be good. I forgot about Italy. Italy was one of my favorite seasons. I'm trying to remember what happened. The dab was just like sex addict, Tanya, Adam and Marco was in it. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Oh, and Leah Woodall and Haley Richardson. Oh, yeah, that was really good. Oh my God, an Audrey Paul, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm making pay. He ain't ever won. Oh, this was a great season. Damn, I white lotus and a Greg, who everyone says looks like pop-up. He does. Yeah. Pop-up says he get people like will come up to him on the street and say that. I could see that. Yeah. They have like the exact same. He's just a bald guy. Yeah. I think I want to be bald. I'm getting like a lot of bald propaganda, pro-bald. I just read, you know that book I read everybody in this, I get always get tripped up on the title, but it is one of my favorite books. Everybody in this room will someday be dead where the girl is like obsessed with thoughts of dying. I've spoken about it. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I read the second book by that author, Emily Austin, who I'm obsessed with. This girl had lived with a very, very severe phobia of bald men. Oh, no. That's what the book was about. She had PTSD and grappling with a fear of bald men. She saw a bald man and it was like full panic. She would have a tough time in Florida. She was strong at work. She had a new bald coworker and that was like a big plot of the book, was like navigating that. Did she have a negative experience with a bald man? Kind of. I don't want to spoil the book, but there was a bald man, kind of. But it's called Interesting Facts About Space. You should read it. I think she's my favorite author. Wow. Yeah. I'm reading another one of her books right now. Emily Austin. Isn't that who wrote? That's Emily Henry. No, no, no. You're thinking of Jane Austen? Love Emily Henry, by the way. I genuinely love Emily Henry. I'm thinking of Jane Austen. Yeah. No, Emily Austen. Dead and killed herself? Like just old and dead. She's old and dead? Yeah. One of the classic. Bummer. She wrote something. Pride and Prejudice. Wow. I'm like getting there. You know, Hodgkin's lymphoma. Oh, wow. I don't know. Like I always forget that like cancer has been around. You just don't really hear like in the olden days, like people dying of cancer. You hear like plague, black plague and black lung and like syphilis and you don't hear of like can't, I guess no one really like knew how to, what to do with it. Yeah. Yeah. I've been Googling a lot of health related anxieties and Google does seem to think that like by the time I'm 60, there will be serious advancements in cancer research, which makes sense. I told you last week I went to the urgent care. I told you both. I told you I went to urgent care. I was like, I've never had a headache such as this. And the guy was like, I mean, like what is it? What does it feel like? And I was like, it feels like, it feels like a headache. Like it really hurts. Like he's like one to 10 and I was like nine. He's like, okay, I mean, it's probably like sinuses. And I was like, do you want to check? Like I was like, what if my brain's bleeding? He's like. There's an episode of black mirror. I'm not joking. Like why? Like it's so weird how at urgent care, they'll be like, no. You could literally like have been looking at your phone too much or you could have a tumor or anywhere in between. No, it's on a tumor. I asked. No, I'm like, that's what like, how will anyone ever know unless you spend $5 million on an MRI? Well, he said like you won. You wouldn't know if you had a brain tumor. And I was like, that doesn't make me feel better. That makes my head hurt. And he's like, too, if your brain was bleeding, you'd still be in bed. And I was like, I would love to be in bed. I'm strong. Like I have a, I needed to be here so I could get it fixed. And he's like, I would say Advil. And I was like, you're a Wicca doc. Like, and it's of course the urgent care that was completely readily available on the side of the road. So I don't know if we were dealing with employee them. Did your headache go away? No, God, no. You'll have it? Not as much. In this episode of Black Mirror, there's this doctor that has a helmet that allows him to experience the pain, the exact pain that his patients are feeling. And like, obviously it ended pretty horribly for him. But I do think that that would be really good. We talked about this because I was saying how, what if I have this horrible, horrible pain and that I'm just like used to and I gave it to you and you were like, ah, help me, help me. And I'm just like used to it. Yeah, exactly. Oh, I was going to tell you something. I just remembered, did you know High School Musical is now as old as Greece when our parents talk about it? Don't. I watched Greece the other day. It's the best thing I've ever seen. It's a good movie. Um, 20 years old. I, Greece? No, High School Musical. Oh, yeah. I came alive 20 years ago. I was born 20 years ago. Reborn. No, let's just say born. Reborn. And call it. Okay. I'm cool with that. Yeah. High School Musical for me really was the beginning of the start of something new, so to speak. Well said. Like the birth of a very important piece of me. Lady. Who still lives within me. The woman who lived. Yeah. I have to pee like pretty significantly. I was going to say that. Our cycles are synced today. Yeah. So it was lovely talking to you. All right. See you, peanut butter. Bye, Jelly. I didn't like that. That felt weird. But we are PB and J. We should just have PB and J. I think it's because I'm Jelly. Whoa, maybe that's what it was. Yeah. Okay. Bye, PB. I liked that. That's better. All right. Thank you guys for listening. Sorry about what I told you. That's not reflected of my character. And I took a long shower, so. It's just crazy that like I went to the Golden Globes and then immediately had poop all over me, you know? Yeah. It's important to say humble. Maybe that's why you've been so humble.
