  Direct from the Broski Nation headquarters in Los Angeles, California. This is the Broski Report with your host, Brittany Broski.

• 0:45Brittany Broski?

  Everything about you I like. Yeah, I love you. Kissing you in public, making nothing of you.

• 0:53Brittany Broski?

  I need you in my life. Yeah, all day, every day I need you. And every time I see you, the feelings get deeper. I miss you. I miss you. I really want to kiss you, but I can't.

• 1:06Brittany Broski?

  Y'all get into this. Shit. God bless America team. We are almost done with this.

• 1:15Brittany Broski?

  Guys, what a year it's been. You know what I mean? Horrifying in so many ways. And very beautiful in so many other ways. Good morning, Broski Nation. Good evening, Broski Nation, wherever the hell you are on this planet Earth today. Thank you for being here. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you for bringing these people together since a community. I mean it, Lord. I'm so, so eternally grateful to you, Lord. That kind of turned into Matthew McConaughey for a second. Lord, I'm, well, I'm, actually, that was more Dolly. Actually, I'm just gonna stop along my head. You know what I mean? Y'all, lots to get into today, okay? As we're summarizing the year, here was my concept. We're gonna do a Brittany Broski wrapped.

• 1:59Brittany Broski?

  We're gonna do a Broski Report wrapped. Brittany Broski, uh, copyright trademark wrapped. Some of my favorite things of the year. Some things that may have slipped through the cracks that I would like to bring back up into the cultural zeitgeist, perhaps. Um, one of them being the Zac Brown Band. Okay? What happened to them? I saw them at a Jimmy Buffett tribute, and I was like, "God damn the Zac Brown Band." You know? Little bit of chicken fried, cold beer on Friday night, pair of jeans that fit just right, and a radio. Bring them, but God, we just need some feel-good music. Save us Zac Brown Band. Save us Zac Brown Band, please.

• 2:42Brittany Broski?

  Got my toes in the water, ass in the sand, not a worry in the world of cold beer. You know what I mean? That's that recession music. It's like, "Yeah, the world is crumbling, but you got your cold beer." I'd like to introduce drinking beer into the sort of girls and gays community. I feel like we can reclaim what beer represents to a lot of straight men. I would propose that, okay? Maybe if we put, "Thinking about the time I went to Ireland," and I ask them if they could put some Sprite in my beer. Whatever. Whatever. And whoever just fucking laughed, get, guards! I guess we can't put Sprite in beer anymore? I'm sorry. When did fun become illegal? When did we outlaw fun and creativity in the workplace?

• 3:27Brittany Broski?

  Fucking bitch. Okay. Here's another thing I wanted to briefly introduce before I move on, is I'm just gonna put my cards out on the table. Yes. Okay? I am sexually attracted to The Grinch, who is at Universal Studios. I am sexually attracted to whatever the man is inside the costume, where he bantered with the people, he acts like The Grinch, he's mean as fuck to some of the kids. I am sexually attracted to him in a way that's slightly concerning. I get so many videos of The Grinch just like, "Top 5 Grinch Roasting Strangers Compilation." Number 5. And someone went up to him and tried to do the fucking Gen Alpha, like, Gen 1 meme of,

• 4:11Brittany Broski?

  "Okay, me when I got knee surgery tomorrow." Have y'all seen this? It's like the new... I sound old. I'm not, I'm actually gonna rephrase how I said that, because that made me feel really bad about myself. Um, it's the meme, it's the Grinch meme. "Me when I have knee surgery tomorrow." "Me, me, my face when knee surgery." I don't know, it's some fucking Gen Alpha thing, but I keep getting it on my explore page, and now people are going up to the Grinch at Universal Studios and saying that to him, and he's like, "What's the fact?" Anyway, I need him, and I also need the guy who plays, because they have a similar sort of improvisational character interaction thing at Disney, the guy who does Crush, the, the turtle from Nemo. Isn't that his name? Crush.

• 4:52Brittany Broski?

  And he gets up there, and it's honestly amazing technology, I kinda was blown away, where they do, um, it's like an animation, and it's one of those where like, there's a guy behind it with, I'm sure, the like, green screen probes or whatever it is on his face, and he totally has the voice down of Crush. "Are you a gimme fan?" That sort of thing? Okay, need him. But he'll interact with the audience, and he'll kind of make fun of them, but answer genuine questions of like, "How does the ocean work?" And he'll be like, "Great wa- great question, son. I'll just go with the flow." I could do it. If that guy ever gets sick, call me. Disney, call me. You know, you know I could nail that. And if you ever need, uh, Universal, if you ever need someone to do Donkey, I could do Donkey.

• 5:34Brittany Broski?

  If you ever need someone to do the gingerbread man, I could do that. If they ever opened up a Shark Tale ride, if there was ever a DreamWorks land, you bet your ass I'm doing, I'm doing the shrimp from Shark Tale. But he's fairly happy, and, and you know, oh, when I see the love in that little guy's face, it makes it all worth it in the end. I could do that. I could do that live, and I could interact with people, but I would do it in a sort of busker way. Like, I would be the shrimp, and it would be one of those animated screens where I would pester people as they're walking by. It wouldn't be like a stop and get your picture with me. I'd be like, "Excuse me, sir, that corn dog looks delicious. I've got seventeen children at home, would you spare some of it?" Some of those, like, something like that.

• 6:19Brittany Broski?

  I would make little shrimp jokes, okay? Don't ever doubt my ability to improv as a character, bitch.

• 6:28Brittany Broski?

  Let me be the shrimp from Shark Tale. Watch. Watch me blow it out of the water. All the other shrimp auditionees, you're looking at the winner. Okay? For the live action shrimp from Shark Tale.

• 6:42Brittany Broski?

  What the fuck am I talking about? Seriously, though, if this all goes to shit, Disney, Universal, you know, you know who to, you know who to call. Okay, and if I just offended anyone by saying that I'm sexually attracted to The Grinch, whatever. It's not the craziest thing I've said on this podcast, and it's not even that, um, jarring compared to the wide spectrum of things that I have had a special interest in on this podcast. I think it's also kind of understandable when you understand the type of man that I would go for, the type of man that would, that would so, uh, metaphorically, so to speak, perk my ears, right? Like I'm a little dog. My ears go up when I see the shrimp, the fucking Grinch. Okay.

• 7:23Brittany Broski?

  Let's move on. You know, sometimes the bravest among us, among us, me when I vent, the bravest among us are those who are willing to say what no one else is willing to say.

• 7:35Brittany Broski?

  What's the Arctic Monkeys lyric? They're the same as they for tomorrow day, crawling back to you. Ever thought of calling when you've had a few? Me calling the Universal Studios hotline when I've had a few, being like, you guys gotta do a fucking Shark Tale ride. I'm literally, I'm telling you, it would bring in so much revenue. You could have, and be Lenny. You could be Lenny from the fucking movie. You could have Will Smith. You could have me be the shrimp, please, guys. It's a 40 experience. It's a 40 experience. They dunk you in a tank. All right, let's move on. Glad I've been talking for eight minutes about the shrimp from Shark Tale. That's fun.

• 8:19Brittany Broski?

  Best of 2024. Now, some of this is going to be media that was released in 2024, and some of it is going to be just media I found, happened to find in 2024, okay? So y'all know that I've been steadily making my way through the George Orwell train. I've been reading a bunch of classics. Speaking of which, I saw Nosferatu. Holy shit, I'll get to that in a second. I've been reading, I've been powering through a bunch of classics. I mean, even this year, way back when, I read The Bell Jar, I read Animal Farm, just finished 1984, just started Fahrenheit 451. And the book that I was talking

• 9:00Brittany Broski?

  about last time, that was sort of, it's been suggested as a cure to the Red Rising hangover, is The Will of the Mini. That's the one. And I saw someone comment it last time as a suggestion of like, if you liked Red Rising. Okay, I loved Red Rising, so Will of the Mini better blow me out of the fucking water. But I bought it, it's on my nice stand, I'll start to read it soon. Okay, so let's sort of start, we'll start with books, I guess. My, like genuinely, I cannot recommend it enough. If you enjoy the sort of Game of Thrones-esque political drama, if you like Succession, if you like those sort of shows, I would just really recommend Red Rising. Because the first book, I've talked about

• 9:42Brittany Broski?

  this ad nauseam, was not that impressive, but when you get to that third, fourth, fifth, sixth book, I genuinely was like, pre, pre-morning ending the series. I tried to prolong it as long as I could. Versus like, when I read Akatar, I was like, and then, and then, and then, when it was over. This one, dude, I was like, oh my god, it's so good, I'm so in love with the characters. When they kill off one of my favorite characters, that's what this sweatshirt is from. I literally, I went full-blown, you know it's a really intense obsession, when the minute you finish that piece of media, you're open on etsy.gov. I'm on Etsy. I'm on Etsy looking up Red Rising Cassius Obolona sweatshirt, okay? And purchased.

• 10:28Brittany Broski?

  That shit just affected me so deeply. I just love it. I'm very excited to see what he does with the seventh book. And if it's ass, I'm gonna send a hate letter. I'm going to write a very strongly worded email and I'm gonna mail it off. I'm gonna print it and I'm gonna mail it off because Rug you! Do not ruin this series for me. Okay, I would say that's sort of, that's sort of the highlights. Discovering Anthony Bourdain's literature was very important for me this year. It provides me a piece that I think has really been lacking in my life. I mean, when you go back and think about however long ago and I talked about, I found that lady's TikTok where she had the nighttime routine that was the Aperol Spritz playlist and it's just bossa nova and it's enjoying the small luxuries in life and treating yourself.

• 11:13Brittany Broski?

  You know, like if you have that nice candle that you're saving, just burn it. Just burn it. That's what it's for. You know, if you have a nice outfit that you're saving to wear, just wear it. Like, life is so short and this shit's collecting dust in your house. Like, it's not just having nice things to have them. It's enjoying because you've earned it, because you've worked hard, because life is hard. Like, I, and I'm not saying that that's, you know, contributing to like a spending problem. If you have a spending problem, fucking don't, maybe. There are ways to have a luxurious experience on a budget, of course. Marshalls and TJ Maxx, I'm looking at you. Some of that stuff is fucking amazing in there. I'm a Maxanista. So I think that there are little pockets of peace that this

• 11:55Brittany Broski?

  year I carved out and certain pieces of media and music really helped with that because so much of, you know, the music space is so sat, oversaturated with like, this pop diva, this pop diva, this one's trying to make an, is this the song of the summer? Did I just write that fucking bullshit? Sometimes you just want to take away, take a step away from it and just listen to some music that doesn't have lyrics. Or just music that's old and, and think about how different the music industry is from probably when this music was put out. And so, kind of diving into bossa nova for me this year was really a nice break. And it's very just pleasant to listen to. It's a very happy mindset to put yourself in. Can't recommend

• 12:37Brittany Broski?

  it enough. Anthony Bourdain was also part of that because this year, as we all know, as I have not stopped talking about, I am healing my relationship with food. Shout out once again to Alyssa's Magic on TikTok. Looking at food in a sense of fun and enjoying

• 12:54Brittany Broski?

  What nature has to offer in its most natural sense. Processed food scares me, especially all of this discourse that's been happening this year, you know, around like, this has fucking E. coli, this has Listeria, this has, it's like, you can't even trust the food that you get from the grocery store, because this country's rotting. This country's in the shitter. This country is a big floating turd in the shitter of the world. And we tried to flush it, and the turd's too big and it clogged up the hole. That's what America feels like. What, you mean, I can't even buy baby carrots from the fucking grocery store in a plastic bag because it has E. coli poop on it? What are you talking about? Who shit in my carrot bag?

• 13:37Brittany Broski?

  I just want a baby carrot with my tahini dip. I don't even want to have poop in my mouth. I don't want poop, no, no, I don't want poop in my mouth. It's just ridiculous. So I think that pivoting this mindset to like, shopping at a farmer's market, or buying locally grown food, all of those things, I have never thought of in my life, truly. Like, I'm just, I was not that type of bitch. I, give me danimals, give me the little like, goldfish pizza blasted, come juice, goldfish flavor. I want it. I love it. But then I was feeling bad all the time, and I also felt swollen, and I was swollen. And so I think that I've just taken a more serious approach to my health this year, that's

• 14:22Brittany Broski?

  been really nice, can't recommend it enough. And Anthony Bourdain's books have been very assistive, is that a word? Have been very conducive to reconfiguring my relationship with food. The way that he talks about food and a dining experience has really helped. And obviously, I love his sense of humor and his dryness and his unique perspective, and I miss him every day. And so I think that that combined with, you know, I love Stanley Tucci's YouTube show, The Searching for Italy, love that, because he goes around and he explores how food is You know, food is linked to community, which is linked to livelihood.

• 15:07Brittany Broski?

  And it's such a human thing to create an experience in a culture out of how you pick and prepare food, who you enjoy it with, the ranking order of eating, you know, the elders get to eat first, or in some countries, the youngest eat first. It's just like showing that, how food really is the link. It's the chain link. So I think it's just been very, very nice this year.

  Hey, it's Nile Rodgers, host of Before the Moment, a Lincoln original series. I'm driving across the country, meeting some of today's most fascinating artists. We're exploring the stories before the moment that changed everything. This week, I'm joined by my friend, John Legend. So you're helping Will.i.am write hooks. What made "Ordinary People" become the one song from those sound checks you knew you had to make your own?

• 17:41Speaker 05

  I was just writing for the Black Eyed Peas. I wasn't expecting to write something for myself in that session. But I wrote the hook for "Ordinary People," and I recorded a demo. And I'm like, I would rather keep "Ordinary People" for myself. This station in Chicago, W G C I, they start playing it before we're promoting it. The song spoke for itself. It became the defining song for my first album. I knew it was special, but you never know how special it's going to be and how much impact it's going to have in people's lives. And you never believe that you're going to actually change people's lives with a song.

• 18:50Brittany Broski?

  Let's move into some hobbies that I really had enjoyed this year. This has been the year for me of looking inward and abandoning any attachment I had to...

• 19:10Brittany Broski?

  Being okay with myself reliant upon what others say is okay about me. Does that make sense? I worded that poorly. But like only giving credibility to the values and the

• 19:26Brittany Broski?

  attributes that other people recognize in me. I'm like, okay, well, those are the only things that I should really be feeding and growing and paying attention to. But then other parts of me started to die and like erode and corrode away. And I was like, well, that's not good. Because if you live your life trying to please other people, of course, it's empty and hollow at the end. So, right, guys? And so this year for me, along with the whole food thing, has been about resetting my relationship with myself and what I want to do. And if I was eight years old, what would matter to me? You know, because I, around the age of 10 is when my family started to suggest you should wear makeup.

• 20:09Brittany Broski?

  You know, you should pluck your eyebrows, you should stop dressing like that, you should whatever. And so tapping back in, which has been a theme for a lot of people this year, this isn't uniquely to me. Tapping back into what young me really loved, that is the essence of you. And I talked about this with Saoirse Ronan on Royal Court, because we both like heavily related to this idea of nothing about me has changed since I was an early teenager, since I was a tween. She talked about, you know, grabbing a camcorder and making videos and feature length, short feature films with her friends and her directing it and being like, okay, no, you're not doing it right. Like that sort of thing of you've always intrinsically had these passions. And you lose them along the way because you are told that other things should matter more.

• 20:53Brittany Broski?

  And other things take precedence and this culture of shame, you know, around being realistic, or you're not good enough for that, or that's never going to happen for you. It's like, I don't really subscribe to that philosophy anymore. And talking about it with other creatives is so healing and it's so nice to just be like, who you were at eight years old is still you. You just have to find it. Like do some soul searching and really dive back into it headfirst of the things that you used to love and see if you still love it. Chances are you probably do. So for me, this year, it's been about crafting. I love a craft. But for me, crafting is like, the whole day is going to be, I'm crafting. I'm going to get my little setup.

• 21:38Brittany Broski?

  I'm gonna get all my materials, I'm gonna put my music on, and you know, your hands are gonna be dirty, so it's not like you can be on your phone or whatever. It's just a nice break from constantly absorbing information and media and news. It's like, when do you ever get that break, other than when you're sleeping? Unless you intentionally sit down and put a literal, physical barrier between you and your ability to touch your cellphone. So I think that that has been really important for me this year as well. I had a brief stint, and I was about to say beef stint, which I'm not sure what that is. I had a brief stint with my air dry clay, okay? I had a little moment with that, that was really fun.

• 22:21Brittany Broski?

  And I made some cool, I don't have it down, okay? Because I had only tried it like three or four times, and that shit is hard as fuck. I like watching Gazoo Studio on YouTube, she really inspires me. She makes the cutest, most original, like, amazing trinket dishes and keychains and jewelry dishes and boxes. It's just so cute, and they are so good as gifts, because the thing with clay and any sort of medium like that is, if you have an idea in mind for someone you love, just make it out of clay. Even if it looks like shit, it's like the effort of, I know you like this, and I'm gonna create something that could be useful for you in your daily life to remind you how much I love you.

• 23:04Brittany Broski?

  It's shit like that, it's like, that's why you craft, or you craft for yourself, you know, just to get it out. And that's been really good for me this year. I also got into key chaining, okay? I got into key chaining. I got the little, here's the thing, for all you craft bitches out there, the thing holding you back from starting a craft or a hobby is the necessary tools. And I know that's right, and I have actually a hard opinion on this, because some people are like, it doesn't matter, just sit down and do it. You don't have to have the right tools, you don't have to have the most expensive, whatever. Okay, sure, that's true, but you do have to have tools for it. Like, I wanted to get into key chaining and like jewelry making, you have to have the right pliers, and you have to have the right little chain hooks.

• 23:48Brittany Broski?

  What do they call it lobster claw, whatever, and octopus, whatever. You have to do it right. And just trying to use household things, sure, you can do it, but that's going to piss me off. So I had gone to Michael's craft store and I bought a bunch of just jewelry pliers and I got a set of four. And it was amazing how easy it was to do. I was like, oh my gosh, I should have started this earlier. All I needed was a set of pliers for $6.99. So I will say that, that investing in the right tools will make the crafting process so much less stressful and so much more. I was so much more willing to try and learn, uh, being adequately prepared. So that was fun. I made some customized keychains for everyone for Christmas.

• 24:32Brittany Broski?

  If you're in my family or my friends, don't watch this because you're getting a keychain. Yeah, that was really fun to do because it's also fun just to look through all the charms and all the whatever. And I got to do it and I was like, okay, does it because it's Star Wars. I can put Star Wars keychain on this one for my dad. It was so much fun. I had so much fun. I made 10. I made 10 long ass keychains that probably will break, but I don't give a fuck because it was fun to make. And I got to personalize it each single person. I love crafting. Okay. What else did I do? Oh, another favorite hobby I had this year is the sort of concept slash idea of Ireland as a country, right? I would say that was a hobby of mine this year was, uh, getting into Irish lore, Irish history.

  The struggle of the Irish people. Um, and I know I threatened to bomb y'all a few times and I'm sorry about that. But it was because a man had tried to fuck on me earlier this year. God, that feels like 10 years ago. What was that? March, April of this year? Yeah. When I had met that beautiful Irish man. Uh, and then it had, he had actually goes to me. Okay. And so I had threatened to blow up your country. I didn't mean it unless, you know what I mean?

• 25:39Speaker 00

  Hey, it's Niall Rogers, host of Before the Moment, a Lincoln original series. I'm driving across the country, meeting some of today's most fascinating artists. We're exploring the stories before the moment that changed everything. This week, I'm joined by Miguel.

• 25:57Speaker 05

  My small experience with the discrepancy in the business of music made me angry in the best way, and I wanted to, I wanted to finish. So I started really like leaning into my therapy, trying to get down to like what matters now. Somewhere, Miguelito felt like he didn't have a place to say how he felt, and music was the place that I went to, to say how I felt.

• 26:59Brittany Broski?

  Like, I got over it, and I'm glad I didn't blow you guys up because I met Paul Meskell. So it would've been like really embarrassing if I met Paul Meskell and I threatened to blow up your country, and I didn't blow it up. Because like, I did it. Okay, I did it.

• 27:12Brittany Broski?

  And like, Saoirse and Hosier and Kelly and Murphy and all my favorite Irish people. I love Ireland. I love Ireland. I gotta move to, uh, I'm, I'm, I for real, I'm thinking about it. I'm getting a little apartment in Dublin, but I don't know when and I don't know why, and I don't know with who. And what the fuck am I gonna do in Dublin? You know what I mean?

• 27:32Brittany Broski?

  Other than getting in trouble. Okay, so that was definitely one of my hobbies was talking about Ireland for no specific reason at all, other than the fact that I love it. And I find the Irish people to be so resilient and strong willed and proud and survivors. And they have a very strong moral compass. I mean, I'm generalizing, of course, I'm sure there's some shitty Irish people, but I think that by and large, you know, those are some people that have fucking been through it. And they know right from wrong, and they know oppressors when they see it. And it was, it

• 28:14Brittany Broski?

  was just a beautiful year of me learning about the, the history and the fervor in that country. You know what I mean? Okay, let's move on. Another favorite hobby of mine, and this is psychotic thing to say, if you would show this to Brittany from January of this year, she would say, what cheap drug did you give her to say this? How much is she being paid to say this? And the answer is none. I'm not being paid zero dollar money to say this. I really enjoyed bar method. I really enjoyed bar method this year. And that is a workout class. What the fuck? It's a workout class.

• 28:57Brittany Broski?

  And it was like truly this year felt like Goldilocks. Like I was trying on this workout class for size, and it was fucking awful. And then I tried yoga on for size, and it was too slow and soft, and I didn't feel like I had worked out. And then I did this. And then I found bar method, and I was like, oh, my God, this is exactly what I've been looking for. So that's been really incremental, fundamental in my, you know, because if you're doing the food side of it, you have to do the body side of it as well. And so that's been part of it for me as well, is, is feeling strong after I complete a bar method class. And I love this shit. And I've talked to you about this before, but it still makes

• 29:42Brittany Broski?

  me cry. At the end of a bar method class, the instructor does like a five minute wind down that incorporates some elements of yoga, but it's just really about, which I guess is yoga, it's gratitude for your body. And the fact that you had the self-starting sort of motivation to come to the class and to do something good for your body and to exercise it and take care of it. And even if you want to quit, you still did it and you showed up, you might as well just finish it. And so it really has been great to finish these classes. And I literally cry every single class because she's like, you showed up for yourself today. Give yourself a pat on the back.

• 30:27Brittany Broski?

  Do it, actually do it. And then she literally makes you like, give yourself a pat on the back. It's so sweet. And yeah, just thanking your body for healing you and keeping you alive and thanking yourself for treating your body well. It's just like, I've never in my fucking life, I do not come from a family that gives a shit about health until it's too late. You know, until it's like, well, you gotta get your liver replaced because you smoked for 30 years and you drank for 40. It's just like, I don't really come from a family that prioritizes health above being skinny. I have tons of people in my family who have gotten weight loss surgeries, who have had, you know, they're on this diet pill, they're on Slim Fast, they're Jenny Craig or whatever.

• 31:11Brittany Broski?

  It's just like this endless endeavor to get thin, but not to actually be healthy in getting thin. And being thin shouldn't be the goal. It should be, I'm damaging my body by eating like shit all the time, never moving. And then you wonder why your joints hurt, you know, why this hurts, why you snap, crackle and pop when you get out of bed in the morning. It's just like, I don't want to be 55 and in pain. Because even, you know, I started at like 242, I was 242 pounds, November of last year.

• 31:52Brittany Broski?

  And I genuinely, every morning, I was like, my knees hurt. I have to take a Tylenol to go to bed. Like, my back hurts. My, my shoulders hurt because I'm, I had big boobs that my freaking back couldn't support because I had no core strength. It was just all this. And I was on planes all the time. So I'm just sitting. I'm just stationary. And it was a very sedentary lifestyle, and I've been trying my best to fix that. And I would say it has absolutely paid off. And I feel great and I feel proud of myself. But it's, you know, it's a war, always, up here. Been at war with my body. I tried to charm myself dinner and then I came all the way back.

• 32:31Brittany Broski?

  I love Lord. But I think, yeah, that's been, that's been part of it. I really have not had any good example of anyone in my family who has prioritized health and not in a holier-than-thou way, just in a, yeah, I like to eat good and I like to move my body. That doesn't exist in my family. Or if it does, it's in some extreme way of like restrictive eating or over exercise or, you know, only eating salad and water. That's not a solution either, and that's not a way to live. So I am, uh, holding the metaphorical torch, so to speak, and leading my people into freedom, which is the Tomlinson clan into freedom. Because what the fuck, girl?

• 33:14Brittany Broski?

  It's been a tough one. Anyway, that's been great this year, bar method.

• 33:20Speaker 00

  Hey, it's Nile Rodgers, host of Before the Moment, a Lincoln original series. I'm driving across the country, meeting some of today's most fascinating artists. We're exploring the stories before the moment that changed everything. This week, I'm joined by my friend, John Legend. How does music actually enter your mind?

• 33:42Speaker 05

  I'm not sure why or how the music comes to me, but I think people who love music and write music, our brains are just filled with music. Like, we have listened to so much music. We've been a part of so much music. I think of the story that I want to tell, the mood that I want to create with the music. Start playing chords, see where they lead me.

• 34:03Speaker 00

  Sometimes I'm just not even thinking about music, right? And I hear this little thing and I go, oh, that could be this.

• 34:14Speaker 05

  You know, you just have to be ready for when the inspiration hits.

• 34:17Speaker 00

  And it comes.

• 34:17Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 34:58Brittany Broski?

  Now I want to get into my favorite musicians. Let's, let's talk music, girl, because that's what we do, right? It's what we're really gonna do. It's like my favorite thing ever. And this year has been great for discovering new artists for me and diving back into some of my originals. Because there were some really incredible releases this year, which I will get into, of course. But I think this whole year was just about finding comfort and like, what do I like? And what do I really enjoy listening to? And not like trying to keep up with what everyone's listening to. And you know, this is the newest thing and this is me picking and da, da, da. Great, but like, I like what I like. And that's not a revolutionary thing to say.

• 35:38Brittany Broski?

  It's just, I think I've denied myself that for a year or two because TikTok music has become so the leader at the forefront of the cultural zeitgeist. And I just want to reel it back into when I'm doing my makeup, when I'm getting in the shower, what do I want to listen to? And so that's what this is. Of course, we're going to start with Sam Fender. Sam Fender, since he dropped "People Watching," which is his new single, I just went right back in down the Sam Fender rabbit hole. I fucking love him. He is on a level of Hosier for me. He's getting there of such intentional and clever lyricism,

• 36:23Brittany Broski?

  coupled with just classic, interesting guitar. You know, it's a very guitar-heavy music and interesting drums. And I think, I know that his recording and writing process is very... I'm not going to say like, non-traditional, but in the music industry, there is a lot of like, "You should write with this writer, and we're going to put you in a room with this producer, and you know, we're going to test-drive things, like different producers and writers to see..." It's like, uh, speed dating, to see who fits well with you. And I know that for Sam, in his case, he writes all the lyrics. Maybe he has a few co-writers I'm not aware of.

• 37:06Brittany Broski?

  And it's just him and his producer in like, a garage, or like, a studio. It's just, it's very minimal people. There's not a lot of cooks in the kitchen, and that's how it fucking should be. Because it's straight from the horse's mouth, and I like that. When you look at some of these songs from other artists, or some of the top-charting songs of this year, you would be shocked how many writers are on these songs. What do you mean you need 13 writers to write a song that's the most basic, brain-dead pop you've ever heard? I don't understand. And so, when you come down to it, and you let the artist actually speak, and say what they want to say, no one can replicate what Hosier comes up with. No one can replicate what Sam Fender has to say, because those are such unique perspectives, you know,

• 37:50Brittany Broski?

  of how they grew up, what they've witnessed, how they've witnessed it, and how they process it, and in turn, uh, speak it through art into the world. You know, their opinion, or what they think of it all. And, you know, each musician, each artist has their own worldview. And it's never been more apparent than with Sam Fender and Hosier. I'm just consistently blown away by how they see the world, and it's how I see the world. And finding that community and relatability with your favorite artist is just... It is such a special connection. And, um...

• 38:29Brittany Broski?

  Yeah, I just, Sam Fender has been consistently, I just love him. Don Tolliver?

• 38:35Brittany Broski?

  Don Tolliver? I love Don Tolliver, bitch. I don't know. I don't know. Half of the ones on here are rap. I love rap. I just don't talk about it. I listen to Key Glock a lot this year. I don't know. Ken Carson. Like, I think Don Tolliver for me is just a fun, um... It's like, it makes me feel kinda sexy, right? It's just fun. Like, I like to do my makeup to it. I'll shower to it. I'll do like housework to it. Um, I just really like his... His voice, and I also like his production. I just, I really like it. And it's never monotone, or one note. It's never one note. Like, each new Don Tolliver release on the album,

• 39:21Brittany Broski?

  there's, all the tracks are different, but they exist in the same universe. I love that. Like, it's not creating the same song forty times by some artist. It's like, actually respectable, uh, interesting. Now, are some of the lyrics misogynistic? Yes. Of course. Are we shocked? No. But it's still like, sonically, I'm like, damn, this one goes fucking crazy. So, I think that he, he was one of my top artists this year. Don't know why. Actually, I do know why. I love his music. Zack Top. Now, I had a Zack Top phase that was really, really intense, and for all of you who had to witness that, I'm sorry. Zack Top is, uh, he was one of my favorite country artists of this year. I think what he's doing is he's bringing back classic nineties country, and I just love him for it.

• 40:03Brittany Broski?

  And he is paying homage to the originals, like Alan Jackson and Randy Travis and all them, but he's bringing a modern flair to it, and I really, I wish he had more music out. Honestly, he's only got like ten songs out, and he used to be in a bluegrass band. And I'm into that, because I found some of that on YouTube, and I was like, yeah, give me more of this. Very, very into that. Banks. Banks is consistently in my top artists. I think she is one of, uh, the, how I was talking about Jose and Sam Fender. She is one when it comes to relationships and...

• 40:38Brittany Broski?

  Like your relationship to your womanhood that I listen to her lyrics and I'm like, "Fuck, she just, she gets it. She gets it." Um, also her relationship to sort of past toxic relationships and how she got out and reflecting on that, you know, I think we all can in a certain sense relate to that. And some of her lyrics, she's got, one of my favorite albums of all time is Three by her and it's just so, she's got a song called Stroke, she's got a song called, uh, Godless. I mean, all these songs are so, it's just heart wrenching and it's interesting, cool, new age production. She's got a psycho voice. I just love her. I think she is so underrated and I really hope she has a moment

• 41:23Brittany Broski?

  soon. Sleep Token and Bad Omens, duh. Okay, that sort of carried over from late fall of last year when I was, I had my little emo phase for 17 minutes into the new year. I saw Sleep Token at Red Rocks with my friend Camille in May of this year. Euphoric. I was off the edible at Red Rocks. It started to rain. Amazing. Euphoric. Truly incredible dude. Sleep Token, whoever the fuck the lead singer is, because you know, they're all anonymous. God, his voice is crazy. Their whole branding is just crazy. Um, I think that they could benefit from having

• 42:04Brittany Broski?

  a woman on the team to just like polish what they're trying to do. You know what I mean? The first couple of shows they did with this new mask that he has and whatever, he's wearing like a cape that has never been steamed. It's shit like that. You know, he's wearing like toms, black toms with some tape wrapped around him. It's like, I see the vision. You just need to have it done professionally. I think, hire me as your creative director, Sleep Token. I really have some things to tell you. But I love, I love their music, the concept, the stage presence, the show. Immaculate. McGee? MKG McGee? Rock Man by McGee?

• 42:42Brittany Broski?

  I keep talking about them. I love that fucking song. I just love it. I'm really, I've been into them and TV Girl. TV Girl is one of my favorites ever. I played them a lot this year, along with Still Woozy. That sort of just indie, happy, passive, white guy rock music. Hell yeah, love it. And then Beyonce, of course. Beyonce goes without saying. She is always in my top artist because I always go back to it. Okay, you always have to go back to it, seriously. Okay, now, here are my favorite albums of this year, and then I'll do of all time. And let me know if you agree.

• 43:22Brittany Broski?

  Favorite albums of this year, we're gonna go ahead and do Eternal Sunshine. Hi, hello. Eternal Sunshine. Ariana Grande has this thing where she releases music when it feels like the girls need it. I needed Eternal Sunshine this year. I needed it. When she dropped Thank You Next, I needed Thank You Next. When she dropped Positions, I needed Positions. I think that she is so good at capturing this snapshot, screenshot of what culturally women are experiencing. At least for me, I'm speaking for me. Like, whenever she drops music, I find it so incredibly hauntingly relatable. So, uh-huh. Thank you, Ariana Grande, for Eternal Sunshine.

• 44:03Brittany Broski?

  And specifically, specifically, the song Eternal Sunshine and the song, I Wish I Hated You, right? Fuck me. Need that so bad. Okay, next. Brat, duh. Brat goes without saying. But specifically, the Brat remix album. The remix album, everything it needed to be and more. I love that it wasn't just the original song with the feature. She completely redid the song but kept the structural integrity of what the song was trying to communicate. Charli XCX, you are a fucking visionary and you are a genius. Thank you for your work. And thank you, AG Cook, as well. Love Seat by Still Woozy. I love this album. I think it's, again, like this sort of prioritizing,

• 44:46Brittany Broski?

  listening to things that bring you happiness and bring you a sense of peace. I love Still Woozy for this. Okay, that's sort of, I just love them so fucking much. Now...

• 44:56Brittany Broski?

  Okay, guys. My top three albums of all time, and I need you to sort of, you know, stick with me on this. And these are my hard opinions, so just don't, don't fight me. Lemonade by Beyonce. Goes without saying, my number one album of all time. I've listened to it probably 3,000 times. One of the most deeply impactful pieces of media for me in my life. Lemonade by Beyonce. Really not much more to say about that. I've talked about it in depth. Um, I'm gonna do a whole episode eventually on it. AM by The Arctic Monkeys. Duh. AM is more so like a, um,

• 45:38Brittany Broski?

  it was very fundamental in me growing up. Like that high school, Brittany, that album represented so much to me. That era, like 2013, 2014, that era of just, you either get it or you don't, okay? And AM is that. It's the Tumblr of it all. It's introducing me to their older discography, which launched me into other different genres that I had never even considered. Around that time, it was just really, it was just indie rock. I'm so into indie rock. And I wasn't before that, you know? It's like before your sophomore year of high school, what were you listening to? You know, I was listening to like, almost Disney Channel stuff. Well, that's not true.

• 46:23Brittany Broski?

  Early high school, I was listening to The Weeknd. I was listening to The Weeknd. I was listening to Trilogy by The Weeknd before I had discovered Arctic Monkeys. And I was on SoundCloud. I was listening to, uh, Majah Jordan. I was, I was listening to, uh, Post Malone, all that sort of shit. I've just really, Arctic Monkeys was very impactful for me. And then number three is Three by Banks. And now this ranking is subject to change, honestly, because I love The Beatles and the beat, Rubber Soul was very influential for me as a teenager as well. But I don't know if it deserves all three of all time. Personally, for me, Three by Banks really just shaped.

• 47:06Brittany Broski?

  Me, uh, cuz this was right after college and I was exclusively listening to Banks and like Check Faker. I don't know why. Love these albums. Um, I want to try something that we've never done before on this podcast. Okay, team? You know, y'all always hear from me on this podcast about my favorites, my this, my that. I'm gabbing, I'm yapping, I'm gibbing, okay? I kinda wanna hear from you guys. I think it's time we introduce a new segment, a one-time segment, where we go to the streets. We take to the streets of Broski Nation and we get a pulse check. Okay, guys, I've actually, for the first time ever, the budget finally

• 47:46Brittany Broski?

  approved it, hired an on-the-street correspondent that is going to go out into the streets of Broski Nation and ask some pressing questions. Okay, what are your favorites? What are your top three favorite albums? These sort of pressing questions that I just need to know. So, um, I'm actually, oh, one second. Okay, I'm actually getting word right now that we are live on the street with our new correspondent. Brittany, Brittany, how are ya? Talk to me. Hi, Brittany. I'm out here on the streets of Broski Nation, asking people their top three favorite albums of all time. Looking for someone to talk to. I think we got someone

• 48:54Brittany Broski?

  Thank you. God, thank you so much. How about, how about Soldier Boy going live on Instagram? Have you been seeing these?

• 49:01Speaker 07

  Uh, well, you mean like the last decade?

• 49:03Brittany Broski?

  Yes.

  Yeah, unbelievable.

• 49:05Brittany Broski?

  Miss him, need him.

• 49:06Speaker 07

  Miss him, need him. A true artist, a groundbreaker, a generational-defining talent. Shout-out Soldier Boy. Should we hit it real quick?

  Five, six, seven, eight. Boom, boom. Here we go. One, two, three, oh, yep. Boom, boom. Step, now hit it, Superman, hit, hit, Superman, hit. Yeah!

• 49:22Brittany Broski?

  Superman, oh, you!

  A complete unknown in theaters. Number 25.

• 49:29Brittany Broski?

  We're not doing Spotify, we're doing SoundCloud Pro.

• 49:31Speaker 07

  Yep.

• 49:32Brittany Broski?

  What do you know about Ichimah?

• 49:35Speaker 07

  Oh, yeah.

• 49:35Brittany Broski?

  And the water's going.

• 49:37Speaker 07

  Listen, I'm more like, uh, you know, Jair Woods, quality control music. Um, you know, back in the day. I only got SoundCloud Pro recently because I was just tired of these.

• 49:49Brittany Broski?

  The budget was approved?

• 49:50Speaker 07

  The budget was approved. Dune 2 did well. I could do, I could get the 6.99.

• 49:55Brittany Broski?

  Has anyone ever told you you look like Bob Dylan?

• 49:57Speaker 07

  Hmm, yes.

• 49:58Brittany Broski?

  Okay, what do you have to say to that?

• 49:59Speaker 07

  Uh, great. That's a handsome guy, would you say?

• 50:01Brittany Broski?

  That's what I'm saying, yeah.

• 50:02Speaker 07

  Definitely, right, right? What's your ideal man?

• 50:05Brittany Broski?

  My ideal man is kind of like Jack Skellington from Nightmare Before Christmas.

• 50:10Brittany Broski?

  What? Look, look!

• 50:12Speaker 07

  Look at these limbs. Look, these pants are baggy, but look, if I...

• 50:18Brittany Broski?

  That, hey, we're worried about you.

• 50:19Speaker 07

  Yeah, I know, I'm worried about me. I'm worried about me.

• 50:22Brittany Broski?

  You, you know that, like, that demographic of boy is so, like, it's in, you're in.

• 50:27Speaker 07

  Why, it's, it's called empowering the anemic.

• 50:31Brittany Broski?

  It's called anemia awareness. We gotta feed you a lot of pure protein, a lot of oranges, prone to scurvy, you know?

• 50:38Speaker 07

  I'm definitely prone, I'm definitely prone to scurvy, definitely. I was telling you before, if my pee's brown, I know I'm not having enough Ensure.

• 50:45Brittany Broski?

  Yeah, that was a conversation we were having off-camera before.

• 50:48Speaker 07

  My grandmother and I used to chug Ensure's, and I would spike them.

• 50:50Brittany Broski?

  Love Ensure. With what?

• 50:52Speaker 07

  With Bacardi Rum.

• 50:54Brittany Broski?

  Ooh, that sounds kinda good.

• 50:55Speaker 07

  Yeah, that sounds not bad.

• 50:57Brittany Broski?

  What's your, like, did you have a college-era nasty go-to drink?

• 51:01Speaker 07

  No, because I was obsessed with acting. It sounds lame, but I'm a theater kid through and through, so that was my pursuit.

• 51:07Brittany Broski?

  Uh, mine was Everclear and Gatorade.

• 51:10Speaker 07

  Really?

• 51:11Brittany Broski?

  Yeah, I would not recommend, but it was a sort of rite of passage of, I had a similar sort of vomit.

• 51:15Speaker 07

  What is Everclear?

• 51:16Brittany Broski?

  Everclear's gonna be like jet fuel. It's like the closest thing to diesel, I think, that they can sell on the market. It's awful, it's pure alcohol.

• 51:23Speaker 07

  Oh, just pure alcohol?

• 51:23Brittany Broski?

  It's Everclear, like, it's...

• 51:24Speaker 07

  Absinthe?

• 51:25Brittany Broski?

  It's like vodka, but so much worse than...

• 51:28Speaker 07

  And you'd spike it with Gatorade?

• 51:29Brittany Broski?

  Oh, hu- a hundred percent.

• 51:30Speaker 07

  Malibu Rum, ever?

• 51:31Brittany Broski?

  I loved Malibu Rum. I loved Rum and Sprite. I loved Rum and Coke.

• 51:35Speaker 07

  Rum and Coke, that's my, that's my demon of choice.

• 51:38Brittany Broski?

  You still do Malibu?

• 51:39Speaker 07

  By the way, by the way, I... Massive respect. Appreciate you. I'll stay on a knee the whole time. I appreciate you. I don't want to assert anything, anything at all.

• 51:56Brittany Broski?

  Can you say one time for me, hail Supreme Leader?

  Hail Supreme Leader Broski. We are honored by your presence. Please leave us under the Christmas tree lots of presents. Hail Supreme Leader Broski. Hail Supreme Leader Broski. Hail Supreme Leader Broski. Hail Supreme Leader Broski. Thank you so much for allowing me to have that NutriGrain bar when I got here.

• 52:19Brittany Broski?

  You're so welcome. I won't even charge you for it.

• 52:20Speaker 07

  May I get up?

• 52:21Brittany Broski?

  You can get up. And I have one final question.

• 52:23Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 52:24Brittany Broski?

  Timothy Chalamet, any last words before we kill you?

• 52:28Speaker 07

  You know, before you've, before, is this Broski's execution sentence?

• 52:33Brittany Broski?

  Yes.

• 52:33Speaker 07

  Okay. What does that look like in Broski world?

• 52:35Brittany Broski?

  Um, very cheaply made.

• 52:37Speaker 07

  Very cheaply made, like it won't, it won't cut through my neck all at once?

• 52:40Brittany Broski?

  It's more a symbol.

• 52:41Speaker 07

  That sounds way more painful than just the initial head slice. Oh no. No, no last words. Thank you for having me on. A complete unknown comes out Christmas Day. That, uh, you know, I probably should have found a way to plug that more. And then do you own this property? Is this also Broski Nation or no?

• 52:54Brittany Broski?

  This is Broski Nation.

• 52:55Speaker 07

  Who, really? This is all Broski Nation?

• 52:56Brittany Broski?

  Yes.

• 53:02Brittany Broski?

  I actually don't own this building. I don't know.

• 53:05Speaker 07

  Look how strange this is.

• 53:06Brittany Broski?

  No, this is mad dreary.

• 53:07Speaker 07

  Yeah, this is like, where are we?

• 53:09Brittany Broski?

  Yeah.

• 53:09Speaker 07

  We're just on a big rock in space. Big rock in space. And what, what is this rock? What is this, what is this earth without art? Just a rock.

• 53:21Brittany Broski?

  All right, Brittany, back to you. This has been, what was your name again?

• 53:24Speaker 07

  Woo, uh, young Patowin, Brittany Broski disciple. Please, I'll do anything for you. Your new assistant, your nails are getting done at 4:45.

• 53:33Brittany Broski?

  Hey, back to you, queen. Thanks, Brittany on the street. All right, we'll talk to you later. We got Timothy Chalamet on the podcast before we got GTA 6.

• 53:48Brittany Broski?

  What the fuck? What the fuck, bitch?

• 53:56Brittany Broski?

  Feeling normal. Feeling normal and also very relaxed. I feel very relaxed.

• 54:05Brittany Broski?

  Okay, moving on. Let's go ahead and move on our fucking guest. Let's talk about 2025 New Year's resolutions.

• 54:18Brittany Broski?

  Okay. Here's my 2025 New Year's resolution. We're gonna have Jack Harlow on Royal Court. That's actually something that needs to happen. I need Kiki Palmer on Royal Court. Almost expeditiously, immediately. Caleb Heron barred from Royal Court. He's not coming on. Stop asking me, okay? I have a restraining order against him, actually. Yeah, I cannot be in the same room as him or Trixie Mattel. It's just really not good for my mental state. I'm just kidding, we're gonna have Caleb on pretty soon. And I'm so excited for it. That episode, Caleb is one of those people. Okay, let me be very genuine for a second.

• 55:01Brittany Broski?

  Caleb, you'll never meet someone like Caleb. He is a diamond in the rough. He would give you the shirt off of his back. He would give you the keys to his house, the keys to his car. I mean, at the drop of a, if you ever need anything, that man loves so deeply and so genuinely. It is such a rarity.

• 55:24Brittany Broski?

  And how thoughtful he is, how mindful he is, how emotionally mature, how intelligent. Because I always say this. You cannot be that funny without being so incredibly smart, well-read, well-spoken. Like, just, he is so smart. And I know that part of it is just intrinsic, but he makes sure to stay informed and to

• 55:51Brittany Broski?

  really have like a solid base of where he's coming from and why he believes what he does. And it's just so inspiring. And I really, I mean, I love him so much as a sister and a friend, but I really look up to Caleb as well. I just, I love him so much. And so having him on Royal Court, I told my team, I said, "Y'all need to understand that I'm beat, okay? This isn't about me trying to be funnier than, he's funnier than me. So just, just let him ride. Don't cut early, okay? Don't stop rolling. Get the footage." Because that bitch is gonna, I just truly, like, he's so funny, it makes me mad. I'm actually pissed off. I get livid a little bit. I start to froth at the mouth, I start to foam. I love him. It's gonna be so much fun to have him on.

• 56:36Brittany Broski?

  So we're gonna do that. We have some guests coming out this week on Royal Court that you bitches are going to lose your fucking mind. I've been talking about this for, you bitches are going to lose your shit. I lost my shit. Okay. In the new year, we have some even more exciting guests. I feel very normal. And let me just sort of, you know, if we're talking about going into 2025, I know it's cliche. I know it's cornball. I know you don't want to hear it. I am so forever indebted to y'all. Everything I do moving forward, everything I've always done has been partially to satiate my own creative appetite, but majority to keep y'all fed and

• 57:21Brittany Broski?

  happy. I love this job. I love that I get to do this job. I want to do it to a degree that's professional and innovative and happy and creates an environment that people can escape into. And I am so infinitely blessed that I get to do that and that I get to create these cultural moments that for me, for me, is psychotic. Okay. The fact that I was even presently there while it happened, AKA what you had just witnessed, that coupled with the fact that like, this really is my job. I have to like, I'm working with my writers and my production team and whatever of like, okay, what questions can we ask Colespress

• 58:02Brittany Broski?

  about D animals? You know, it's like, I don't, I never thought that this would be the job that I do. And I'm just forever, words really don't summarize the feelings that are swirling around at all times. I'm just so grateful and I hope to continue doing it for a very long time. And we're just getting bigger and better every year. I have full-time employees now, which is crazy, that we're constantly working on how to make, you know, Royal Court better, how to make this podcast better, the hosting opportunities that I do. And I host carpets and, you know, I do shows and maybe I'm exploring a new creative medium

• 58:42Brittany Broski?

  in the new year that you guys will hear about late March to early April, potentially, God willing. Just sort of, um, stick around and wait for it because there is a project that I have been nurturing and growing and feeding and making sure that it is what it needs to be before I give it to you guys.

• 59:08Brittany Broski?

  That's sort of what I've been, what I've been sitting on. I'm like a big fat duck sitting on a big fat, fat egg. Do ducks lay eggs? Yes. Okay, I'm a goose. I'm a big swollen goose, sitting on a big fat goose egg. And the goose egg is for y'all. And it's golden, it's a golden goose egg, but it's actually like, you know how golden chocolate coins? It's just a wrapping. That's what my golden goose egg is, but it's still a golden goose egg. Okay, and it's from Team U. I got my golden goose egg from Team U TikTok shop. And inside, there's little mini-brands. That's what my goose egg is. And so I'm gonna, I'm gonna scream it out. I'm gonna scream out my chocolate goose egg and I'm gonna hand it to y'all on a silver platter. And it's gonna be worth the wait, okay, because we are putting our pussies into this.

• 59:54Brittany Broski?

  And it's gonna be a lot of fun. So, that's for 2025. I think also, uh, I have a, a brand collaboration happening in 2025. That makes total sense and y'all are gonna fucking love. That'll come out later in the year. There's a lot of things happening, okay? For the Broski universe, we have our own sort of Spider-Man. We have our own, uh, Iron Man. We have our own, um, I don't know, Thanos. But yeah, it's a lot of that, team, and it's a lot to look forward to. And I thank you for being here. And I'll see you next week for our Christmas episode. Our Christmas episode. Have a holly, jolly Christmas.

• 1:00:36Brittany Broski?

  Actually, for the Christmas episode, I'm gonna open with a 10-part choir of just me doing, "Hark! Of the bells, sweet silver bells, all the best days, broken away, ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding dong. One of the words of a cheer, oh, merry, we're filling the air. Oh, hey, everything, everything, happy, we're singing songs of a cheer at Christmas. Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas, merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas. All of them send on with the..." I've jumped through seven different keys. "All of the day, day, of a long, ding dong, ding dong."

• 1:01:19Brittany Broski?

  We'll see you next week, too. Goodbye.
