  Christopher Walken is bisexual.

• 1:07Connor Wood?

  Is that what you want to start with today?

• 1:09Brooke Averick?

  We can. I'm just letting you know.

• 1:12Connor Wood?

  No, that's a great place. That's a great jumping off point.

• 1:16Brooke Averick?

  Christopher Walken is bisexual, and 22 other celebrities you didn't know were bi-cons. Head to the link in the bio. I will.

• 1:24Connor Wood?

  And she's heading there now.

• 1:26Brooke Averick?

  Twist my arm.

• 1:46Connor Wood?

  It does make you wonder, what else is Christopher Walken not telling us?

• 1:49Brooke Averick?

  Christopher Walken.

• 1:49Connor Wood?

  Also, how old is Christopher Walken?

• 1:52Brooke Averick?

  Gillian Anderson, I don't know who that is. Drew Barrymore. Kesha. Rita Ora.

• 1:59Connor Wood?

  I guess Christopher Walken, no better time than 82 years old to start exploring your body.

• 2:05Brooke Averick?

  Alison Brie. Hank Green. Fergie. Jason Mraz, I knew that. Actually, I knew all of these, I think. I know all of these bi-cons. Billy Joe Armstrong.

• 2:20Brooke Averick?

  I love a good bi-con. Thank you for letting me know, them.com. Okay.

• 2:26Connor Wood?

  Then got them.com boots on the ground. They're knocking on doors, taking the census. Okay, well, here we are again. It's me and you. I want to say that today, it's crazy that right now, in this moment, we're closer to 2030 than we are to 2020. So we have moved.

• 2:48Brooke Averick?

  Don't say shit like that.

• 2:49Connor Wood?

  No, I don't know. I think this is an interesting one because someone else said, I noticed that and then someone else said, "Well, we were closer to 2030 on New Year's Day of 2020 because time marches forward, not backwards. We were never further away from 2020 than we were as soon as, as soon as it was 2021."

• 3:06Brooke Averick?

  The second you cross the threshold of turning 30, you're closer to 40 than you are 20.

• 3:11Connor Wood?

  Of course. But you were always closer to 30 than you are 20 because again, time is moving.

• 3:18Brooke Averick?

  I said 40.

• 3:19Connor Wood?

  We're closer to 100 than you are to 27.

• 3:23Brooke Averick?

  No, I'm not.

• 3:24Connor Wood?

  Yeah, because you can't get back to 27, but you will get to 100.

• 3:29Brooke Averick?

  No, I won't.

• 3:31Connor Wood?

  Yes, you will. Yes, you will because you're so tiny and compact that your body.

• 3:36Brooke Averick?

  I don't think that's how it works.

• 3:37Connor Wood?

  I feel like smaller dogs live longer.

• 3:41Brooke Averick?

  That's true, but I see myself settling at like a good like 90 something.

• 3:47Connor Wood?

  You don't want to push it out and finish the race?

• 3:49Brooke Averick?

  I don't. I'll, I'll think about it. Once I get to like 95, I'll do a check in with my body. See how I'm feeling. Should we keep going or should we just call it a wash?

• 3:58Connor Wood?

  Should we quit while we're ahead? Or, I don't know. What's five more years? Fuck it.

• 4:05Brooke Averick?

  Well, it depends what the quality of my life. Let's, let's, let's not.

• 4:09Connor Wood?

  No, it depends on what the quality of your life is. Yeah, sometimes I see these people's like cats, for example, online and I'm like, hey, what is that? And they're like, it's a cat. What do you mean? I'm like, okay, that's my bad.

• 4:21Brooke Averick?

  Well, that's a situation like unfortunately, like I am keeping my cats alive until like the last, I can't believe that. No, they will live forever.

• 4:32Brooke Averick?

  Those two will live forever. That's the thing.

• 4:35Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 4:36Brooke Averick?

  J and R. But other cats like, yeah, they might get old.

• 4:42Connor Wood?

  They might get older. They might be thinking, this is actually like a real, that's a real life situation that just happened to me. Was there was this woman that posted all these video clips of their cat and it was like, this is what I, this is, this is who you guys see, but this is who I see. You know those clips?

• 4:56Brooke Averick?

  No, but I see it in my mind's eye, just like a little kitten.

• 5:00Connor Wood?

  No.

• 5:01Brooke Averick?

  Oh.

• 5:01Connor Wood?

  Um, I don't know. I'm gonna send you this after, have you seen this cat that like you? And I had never been ripped to shreds in a comment section, except when the time when I commented on this young woman's art pieces where she had been making dolls out of hard boiled eggs. And I said, I'm, I would still eat your doll. And everyone was like-

• 5:25Brooke Averick?

  You don't even eat hard boiled eggs when they're not made out of dolls. Or when they're not made into dolls.

• 5:30Connor Wood?

  I'm, I'm in and I'm in a every man hits a point in their life where they start to just really suck down eggs like it's nobody's business and I have hit that now.

• 5:38Brooke Averick?

  You're sucking down eggs?

• 5:39Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I'm putting them, I'm putting them back like it's my job.

• 5:41Brooke Averick?

  I'm shocked to hear that. Why didn't you tell me?

• 5:44Connor Wood?

  It's, it's a pretty recent happening. I can't even remember if we've had an episode-

• 5:47Brooke Averick?

  Hard boiled?

• 5:48Connor Wood?

  Yeah, hard boiled, soft boiled, poached, over easy. I'll do, I'll do over medium.

• 5:53Brooke Averick?

  I am shocked.

• 5:55Connor Wood?

  Yeah. The consistency is not as big of a deal, just because

• 6:03Connor Wood?

  when you realize time just marches forward, you kind of get over the consistency of eggs.

• 6:09Brooke Averick?

  I didn't think it was the consistency that was the problem with you for hard boiled. I thought it was just fart essence.

• 6:16Connor Wood?

  No, hard, hard boiled, I've never had any qualms with hard boiled eggs.

• 6:19Brooke Averick?

  I did not know. I guess your problem was like the texture of the runny.

• 6:25Brooke Averick?

  Like booger vibes?

• 6:27Connor Wood?

  Yeah, it was actually like me thinking too much about the fact that I'm eating an egg.

• 6:31Brooke Averick?

  Huh, okay.

• 6:33Connor Wood?

  I could eat other people's eggs, my own eggs, but now I'm back. And it's a great, eggs are such a great thing to cook at your house.

• 6:44Brooke Averick?

  You know who made me eggs the other night?

• 6:45Connor Wood?

  Marshall made you eggs the other day. I was gonna say, yeah, I should have had him over when he was in town.

• 6:50Brooke Averick?

  It's insane Connor. Like I can't, these aren't eggs. What Marshall can do with a spatula. It's ridiculous. I texted him at like eight o'clock and I was like, what are you doing? He said, nothing. I said, what, what's a girl gotta do to get some eggs? He came over with a carton. That's my man. My man, my man, my man, Marshall.

• 7:11Brooke Averick?

  He made me eggs and we watched Sheeper by the Dozen. I said, I could live a very happy life with this guy.

• 7:18Connor Wood?

  And you are right now?

• 7:19Brooke Averick?

  And I am, and I am living my best life with Marshall. Me and Marshall really, I was literally telling Izzy this before we started recording. That couple on TikTok that's like, my gay husband, like, but like, that is my dream for me and Marshall, truly.

• 7:34Connor Wood?

  Okay, I have, I have two things really quickly.

• 7:36Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, no problem.

• 7:37Connor Wood?

  About your gay husband. Um, first of all, and hang on, it's like not related, hang on. Before I, that was just, it reminded me of something else, but it has nothing to do with it.

• 7:46Brooke Averick?

  Sure.

• 7:47Connor Wood?

  First of all, I want to go back to me being cyber bullied off the internet twice.

• 7:50Brooke Averick?

  Sorry, I took us very far away from that.

• 7:51Connor Wood?

  No, I, no, I did. No, I did. Cause I, I, I followed you into that dark night.

• 7:57Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 7:57Connor Wood?

  But I, to circle back. The first one, um, was the woman that was making dolls out of hard boiled eggs. It was really incredible, the work that she can do. However, I did comment like, I would still eat your dolls, cause they're a food group that's full of protein and I, I just feel like they, well, are you gonna keep the eggs for, you know, like I would eat the doll. I think that's a fun way to, to like, it's a, it's a new form of hard boiled eggs. It's now, this is like, this is an art piece. I'm gonna eat your doll.

• 8:25Brooke Averick?

  I'm surprised she wasn't getting cancelled for like using food.

• 8:29Connor Wood?

  No, it's really interesting, yeah, what people pick and choose to go up in arms after. But no, she was in a safe space. I was the enemy in this comment section. They cyberbullied me to delete my comment.

• 8:42Brooke Averick?

  Did you delete it?

• 8:42Connor Wood?

  I haven't. Yeah, they won. These people won. The, the, the, um, hard boiled egg art community. I mean, this woman can't even sell her eggs on Etsy. She really, like, it's, this is something where like, if she's making this art, it needs to be in real time and dare I say, at a restaurant. And if any of these people find me, Brooke, I've never been cyberbullied out of a comment section. They scared me. It was hurtful, the things that they were saying about me.

• 9:07Brooke Averick?

  What were they saying to you?

• 9:09Connor Wood?

  They were saying, uh, you're not a patron of the arts. I am. I appreciate art in all its forms. I'm just saying, the, the highest appreciation for her hard boiled egg, uh, artistry would be to me, for, for me to consume it in a really literal sense.

• 9:23Brooke Averick?

  Art is different to everybody who observes it and like, that's the way that you're appreciating her art.

• 9:29Connor Wood?

  I mean, it's like culinary art, even though I don't know, like, I don't know if she's, hmm, maybe I'll look at, I mean, I can't find it anymore. The comment section that I had commented on.

• 9:39Brooke Averick?

  I guess there's like mac and cheese art has always been, macaroni art, rather. I guess the cheese is not present.

• 9:45Connor Wood?

  It sounds really good.

• 9:45Brooke Averick?

  Has always been a thing.

• 9:48Connor Wood?

  I hope to have that soon.

• 9:48Brooke Averick?

  But that's non-perishable. Like, I can't think of anything more perishable than an HBE.

• 9:56Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I mean, this, this, these eggs had arms and legs and, and I think that these people had like a relationship with these eggs. Anyways, the next time I was cyberbullied off the internet, I had, so I commented on this, this cat. I now know it's a cat. And someone commented, it's a disabled cat. You, you, you maniac. And I was like,

• 10:19Connor Wood?

  My bad. I'm telling you, I thought it was a new species. I thought it was cute. I just like genuinely didn't know what kind of animal, what beast this was.

• 10:26Brooke Averick?

  You commented, "What is this?"

• 10:28Connor Wood?

  What is that?

• 10:29Brooke Averick?

  That.

• 10:29Connor Wood?

  And everyone started, I have people on my most recent images on my Instagram commenting, "What is that? What is that?" And it's on my face, pictures of my face. And I didn't mean to like sic the dogs on me.

• 10:41Brooke Averick?

  You were just curious.

• 10:42Connor Wood?

  I think it's that cat. It was like blonde.

• 10:46Brooke Averick?

  Oh. It was that?

• 10:49Connor Wood?

  Hang on, hang on. I didn't comment on that and say, "What is that?" Okay?

• 10:53Brooke Averick?

  That's the cutest thing I've ever seen.

• 10:58Connor Wood?

  His name's, I think his name's Cappy. Yeah, Cappy Bears. It is that one.

• 11:04Connor Wood?

  And I'll show you, can you, can you scroll a little bit? I want to show you the actual reel that I commented on. Keeps scrolling. He's like ripping up a trash bag. And it's from behind. And I don't think he has a tail. So I thought it was like a little monkey.

• 11:19Brooke Averick?

  Oh, he's, he's a diaper?

• 11:21Connor Wood?

  But he is a cat. So, listen, my bad. Do you want me to send it to you, Izzy? Yeah. Cause it's, it's my, they're not gonna-

• 11:29Brooke Averick?

  That sounds obviously a cat.

• 11:30Connor Wood?

  No, no, no, not from behind.

• 11:33Connor Wood?

  I found it, cause it's like, I mean, I can't see, no. You know what? No, I'm not gonna, like I do, I didn't say anything bad. I just asked what kind of animal this was. But look at, look at the video that came across my desk. Please, I just texted it to both of you.

• 11:48Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 11:50Connor Wood?

  That opening clip, I want you to tell me on first glance,

• 11:57Connor Wood?

  what you even think that could be.

• 12:00Brooke Averick?

  Okay, okay.

• 12:03Connor Wood?

  Sorry.

• 12:03Brooke Averick?

  Okay. I see your comment. What is that?

• 12:07Connor Wood?

  Yeah, what is that? I,

• 12:10Connor Wood?

  so I've now, like, these people are in my comments section. B-sweet.

• 12:14Brooke Averick?

  Oh.

• 12:15Connor Wood?

  AI.

• 12:16Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, that looks like a new thing.

• 12:20Brooke Averick?

  And the, yeah, the fact that it's from behind.

• 12:22Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I mean-

• 12:24Brooke Averick?

  Okay, I'm looking at some of your responses. A cat of some sort.

• 12:29Connor Wood?

  Someone said, "Please, this literally looks like you."

• 12:31Brooke Averick?

  Someone said, "A beautiful cat named Cappy. A disabled kitty. Please, this literally looks like you."

• 12:42Brooke Averick?

  That's really cute. He looks like a teddy bear.

• 12:46Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I mean, cappy bear. It's, it's fine. I'm just saying, that's what I've been going through on the internet recently is if we don't have so much going on. I'm now being cyberbullied by the, by the cappy bear community. My bad. Very cute, Kat.

• 13:02Brooke Averick?

  Truly, but you don't feel like you're gonna delete your comment?

• 13:06Connor Wood?

  No, cuz I think that that could be an educational piece for a lot of people like me that aren't brave enough to ask questions and keep being curious.

• 13:14Brooke Averick?

  You got a lot of likes on it.

• 13:17Connor Wood?

  400 is nothing.

• 13:18Brooke Averick?

  So a lot of people are wondering.

• 13:21Brooke Averick?

  That's really cute. But he looks like human, almost.

• 13:25Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I was thinking it kinda looks like a little baby in a suit.

• 13:27Brooke Averick?

  I guess there's always something alarming about an animal standing on its hind legs.

• 13:33Connor Wood?

  Yeah. Oh, anyways, that's what, that's what's been going on. Sorry. I don't even remember how I got to the egg portion of that conversation.

• 13:42Brooke Averick?

  That was the other time you'd been cyberbullied?

• 13:45Connor Wood?

  Oh, right.

• 13:46Brooke Averick?

  Was eggs?

• 13:48Connor Wood?

  Um, the, the other thing that's been on the internet that we kind of, it's kind of pertinent to us. If you, if you want me to take this transition and kind of run with it.

• 13:57Brooke Averick?

  Sure.

• 13:58Connor Wood?

  Holding the baton. Um, last week I watched you through something that I love to say before shows.

• 14:03Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 14:04Connor Wood?

  I love to say, do you wanna say it with me?

• 14:07Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 14:08Connor Wood?

  Three, two, one.

• 14:11Brooke Averick?

  Keith Urban loves Nicole Kidman.

• 14:18Connor Wood?

  Not anymore.

• 14:20Brooke Averick?

  Well, we don't know that. You know, separations are complicated.

• 14:25Connor Wood?

  Yeah, separations are complicated. I'm gonna have to change it to be like Keith Urban sleeps in a different bed than Nicole Kidman for months.

• 14:36Brooke Averick?

  For right now.

• 14:36Connor Wood?

  Apparently.

• 14:37Brooke Averick?

  For right now.

• 14:38Connor Wood?

  For Keith Urban is in a complicated relationship with Nicole Kidman. I hope it doesn't affect the kids.

• 14:50Connor Wood?

  Full stop.

• 14:52Connor Wood?

  Keith Urban is an Australian man who loves his country and his people so much that he's going very quietly.

• 15:04Brooke Averick?

  He's not Australian, is he?

• 15:07Connor Wood?

  He is.

• 15:08Brooke Averick?

  He is? I think he's like, just like, American.

• 15:13Connor Wood?

  I believe he's fully Australian.

• 15:16Brooke Averick?

  He's Australian.

• 15:19Brooke Averick?

  He's an Australian-American.

• 15:22Connor Wood?

  He's an Australian-American, Brooke. Can you please have some respect?

• 15:28Brooke Averick?

  I, people were like DMing us and like, "Oh my god, you really did it this time." I don't, I don't think that, I don't think so, because we've said that so many times, or you've said that so many times.

• 15:40Connor Wood?

  I have, that's something in my, my Rolodex of phrases.

• 15:46Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, this felt unrelated to the manifestation space.

• 15:50Brooke Averick?

  But I'm still sad about it.

• 15:52Connor Wood?

  I mean, I just feel-

• 15:52Brooke Averick?

  Because they were one of those that's like, "Damn, like, love doesn't exist."

• 15:56Connor Wood?

  No, love does exist, and it's, it's between this-

• 15:58Brooke Averick?

  Well, now it doesn't, is what I'm saying.

• 16:01Connor Wood?

  I don't know, I, I see them, and I'm speaking completely out of line and based strictly on vibes here, but based on Nicole Kidman's most recent roles, I do feel like maybe she could be into, like, maybe they, maybe it was a bit of a lavender situation for a while, maybe they have been having like, a little bit of an open situation.

• 16:19Brooke Averick?

  You know what a lavender, lavender, do you know what a lavender marriage is?

• 16:22Connor Wood?

  Tell me about the lavender.

• 16:24Brooke Averick?

  A lavender marriage is when like, uh, you're gay.

• 16:29Connor Wood?

  Oh, I thought it was just like-

• 16:30Brooke Averick?

  Are both parties gay, or just the guy? In a lavender marriage. I can't say the word lavender right now.

• 16:35Connor Wood?

  Say it again?

• 16:36Brooke Averick?

  I can't do it right now. It's coming out, it's because my Philly accent is transitioning, so I would've said lavender when I was a young girl, but now, how do, how would you say it?

• 16:46Connor Wood?

  No, lavender is-

• 16:47Brooke Averick?

  Lavender, okay, so I think I'm just struggling with my A's at this time in my life. Between, it's mixed orientation, typically being a heterosexual and a homosexual. So you were saying that Keith is a homosexual?

• 16:58Connor Wood?

  Lavender is like, weird, it's a fake, it's a, like, I was thinking like, lavender smells good, but it could give you like, a rash? I don't know what I, I don't know what I was saying.

• 17:06Brooke Averick?

  No.

• 17:07Connor Wood?

  Behind, okay.

• 17:08Brooke Averick?

  Oh, so you were just thinking they were a sham?

• 17:11Connor Wood?

  Yeah, it was like a fake ma- like I thought they're both so busy.

• 17:14Brooke Averick?

  Like a PR stunt?

• 17:16Connor Wood?

  Kind of just like, let's just be married and but I get the vibe from like Nicole Kidman that she's kind of like, um, open. She has an open mind.

• 17:24Brooke Averick?

  Oh, both partners can be gay. One or both. Don't, it doesn't matter. But-

• 17:29Connor Wood?

  Yeah, okay, cool. I feel like I'm pretty close. I was pretty close, except the rash part, which like, I'm sure a rash could happen if you-

• 17:36Brooke Averick?

  No, you weren't close at all, but you're saying that Nicole Kidman wants to be more open? She feels more like free spirited in a relationship and Keith is more traditional? Is that what you're thinking?

• 17:48Connor Wood?

  No, I just, I think that it could be freaks in the sheets is what I was trying to get at.

• 17:53Brooke Averick?

  And that led to their separation?

• 17:56Connor Wood?

  Potentially, yeah.

• 17:57Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 17:59Connor Wood?

  Um.

• 18:57Connor Wood?

  Yeah, so bummer, bummer there. I don't even know what to say. I, they like AMC, someone, someone said AMC should be flying their flags at half-mast today.

• 19:06Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Speaking of them, do you have any couples that like, and I think I've asked you this like probably 16 times before, but let's just do it again, that if they broke up, you'd be like, I don't believe in love, celebrity couples?

• 19:20Connor Wood?

  See, like any celebrity couples that I have respect for would be people who like, I know that-

• 19:27Brooke Averick?

  I'm not talking about respect.

• 19:28Connor Wood?

  I would, I think I would respect anyone that's in so much love that I would stop believing in love if they got broken up, if they broke up.

• 19:36Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 19:37Connor Wood?

  I think there's respect. Right?

• 19:39Brooke Averick?

  Yes, yeah, sure.

• 19:44Connor Wood?

  Um, red leather, yellow leather.

• 19:47Brooke Averick?

  For me, for whatever reason, like I'm thinking of, um, John Krasinski and Emily Blunt. Even though I'm not like a, that, I'm not obsessed with them as a couple, but like I would be like really affected by their divorce in terms of like, I guess I would be really affected by their divorce because he's so obsessed with her. And so were he to like, date someone like younger, I think that would really affect me.

• 20:12Connor Wood?

  The John Krasinski, Chris Pratt camp, that ilk of young male actors, give me such a pit in my stomach that I don't even care about anything that they.

• 20:25Brooke Averick?

  You mean the people who used to be like Jim and Andy and then went really buff?

• 20:29Connor Wood?

  No, not really buff, just like I, I can't get a read. It's like almost Tom Cruise-esque. They're like rise to fame and then just like, something happens where I lose, I lose them, but I have not, I didn't really, you know, I wasn't like the biggest fans when they were like these,

• 20:48Connor Wood?

  like young funny people either. So I don't know.

• 20:50Brooke Averick?

  Oh, for me, it's like you had everything to me when you were Jim and Andy and then you went ahead and like became like an action hero. Like bug god and you lost everything to, for me.

• 21:03Connor Wood?

  Yeah. Well, when you, when you start doing like the Mark Wahlberg team, like if you start going into like the war movies, you just start printing money. It's really crazy. You could do war movie after war movie.

• 21:13Brooke Averick?

  They're not doing that. I'm just saying they just like got really buff.

• 21:17Connor Wood?

  Cause they're doing war movies.

• 21:18Brooke Averick?

  No, they're not doing war movies.

• 21:20Connor Wood?

  Chris Pratt did Lone Survivor.

• 21:23Brooke Averick?

  Well, I've never seen that.

• 21:24Connor Wood?

  Did like four war movies in a row.

• 21:27Brooke Averick?

  What's Jack Ryan? That was John Krasinski's show. That's not war.

• 21:29Connor Wood?

  That's like spy, war government. Which would also be action if I'm not, is, yeah, look at the explosion.

• 21:38Brooke Averick?

  He was not at war. He was, yes. Is there like bombs going off in the background of that poster? A hundred percent. Is it war?

• 21:47Connor Wood?

  Is it war?

• 21:48Brooke Averick?

  What's this show about?

• 21:51Brooke Averick?

  What's Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan about? Jack Ryan, big screen former US Marine. Is that war? I don't know if I would say that.

• 21:59Connor Wood?

  Now, the Marines are involved in a number of things such as entertainment.

• 22:03Brooke Averick?

  I would say you can do a lot of shit as a Marine. It doesn't have to be war.

• 22:06Connor Wood?

  A lot of Marines are involved in the arts and musical theater and it could have been that.

• 22:12Brooke Averick?

  See, listen, they're doing global conspiracies, political intrigue and large scale military operations.

• 22:20Connor Wood?

  That can involve war.

• 22:21Brooke Averick?

  Doesn't always.

• 22:23Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 22:24Brooke Averick?

  So.

• 22:25Connor Wood?

  Uh, dealing with everything from terrorism to potential world ending conflicts, which war just has, was just probably not a part of that. So yeah, you're right. But there's a thing, I'm telling you, it's not like a conspiracy theory and I'm not like making that up. When you get into the, the,

• 22:41Connor Wood?

  the level of fame that these,

• 22:46Connor Wood?

  like good looking, I don't know, these good looking dudes, you go into war, like you start doing war movies. I don't know what it is. It's like, it's like you, um, you, you're Charmander and then you're the one above Charmander. You keep evolving and then one, and then you're just, you're a Charizard and then all of a sudden you're a man that does war movies. It doesn't, it's just a normal, it's the normal thing that you do.

• 23:07Brooke Averick?

  For some, yeah.

• 23:10Connor Wood?

  You have, you have a couple of different groups of people. You have the Tom Cruise types, which include John Krasinski, um, it includes Chris Pratt. And then you have like the.

• 23:21Brooke Averick?

  I'm thinking like Steve Carell went a completely different direction.

• 23:23Connor Wood?

  There's the Steve Carell, which is just like, that's a patron of the arts. That's a perfect person. That's like a Steve Carell. A, um, who else falls into like funny guy? Well, this guy was never, well, he did some funny stuff. Casey Affleck, like that, that kind of group. He did some funny stuff. He did a lot of like poker movies. And then you have like.

• 23:43Brooke Averick?

  Jason Bateman?

• 23:46Brooke Averick?

  Kinda?

• 23:46Connor Wood?

  Yeah, yeah. Jason Bateman. And then you have like a Matthew McConaughey.

• 23:50Brooke Averick?

  Bradley Cooper.

• 23:52Connor Wood?

  Yeah, yeah. So you have routes you can take. I would much rather take like the, yeah, Bradley Cooper would go up there with the like.

• 23:59Brooke Averick?

  He was hangover and then like went to Star Wars.

• 24:02Connor Wood?

  Manch- not Manchester, yeah, went to Star Wars.

• 24:04Brooke Averick?

  Fuck like that, so.

• 24:06Connor Wood?

  Yeah, there's routes you can take. What route do you think that like Glenn Powell's gonna take?

• 24:11Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I saw someone speculating what kind of route he should take recently. Because there was this whole Matthew McConaughey interview. Did you see that? Where he was like, I stopped taking any role. I was offered like 14 million dollars to do a rom com.

• 24:26Connor Wood?

  Who?

• 24:27Brooke Averick?

  Matthew McConaughey. And he wanted out of that space so badly that he was like, I'm not taking it. And then I think it was Dallas Buyers Club that came along or something like that. Like, he wanted to do something really serious.

• 24:39Brooke Averick?

  And all it took was just like saying no a million times. And then, so and then someone was saying Glenn Powell needs to start doing that.

• 24:46Connor Wood?

  I also think that Glenn Powell got to,

• 24:52Connor Wood?

  I think because of his pure charismatic, the way he carries himself in a matic kind of way. He was able to skip a lot of the no's. And I could see him skipping all that, like he's printing money too right now. I could see him skipping all that and going right to, I have a production company now, Glenn Powell Production. You know what I mean? And now he can just write him into stuff, himself into stuff like that.

• 25:17Brooke Averick?

  Interesting.

• 25:18Connor Wood?

  I could see that for him, a production company.

• 25:22Connor Wood?

  I thought it was really funny.

• 25:25Connor Wood?

  Hmm, should I say this?

• 25:28Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I'm gonna say it, like for the sake of just saying stuff.

• 25:33Connor Wood?

  So I haven't been back to do any shows at UT Austin, my alum. Yet, at like, at the school, which is I do a lot of college, college shows. And I asked, I was like, what's going on? And I guess I had been asked to come back and do like a show for charity. But it wasn't, it was like a very, like, it wasn't for charity. It was like,

• 25:56Connor Wood?

  a free show for the students. And I'm like, I paid so much intuition, you know, to go there.

• 26:03Brooke Averick?

  Give pop, give pop a little cash flow.

• 26:05Connor Wood?

  I'm not any of these actors that, that graduated and did 14 shitty movies in the past two years. Like, I'm not in a place to do, like, to do a ton of charity right now. Do you think that you could just be, get a dollar to come, like, at least pay for the hotel flights, whatever? No, I don't think so. So that's come up a couple of times and it's kind of a bummer, but it is, it has put a little bit of fire under my, my butt, you know? It's like to, I need to get on the, the GP or MM track to come back and do some charity at my school, you know?

• 26:34Brooke Averick?

  For a fee.

• 26:36Connor Wood?

  For a fee, like a, like a, like a fee infused charity piece.

• 26:40Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Like free of charge for a fee.

• 26:44Connor Wood?

  Like completely, I'll, I'll come there for free, including tip on top.

• 26:48Brooke Averick?

  Including an extreme payment directed directly into the pocket of Connor Fibula would.

• 26:54Connor Wood?

  You can make any sort of immediate deposit too.

• 26:57Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. I will take a check.

• 26:59Connor Wood?

  When I, I've talked about my job that I had while I worked at school, right? Cause I really wanted to buy a drone.

• 27:06Brooke Averick?

  Yes.

• 27:08Connor Wood?

  I don't know if I talked about this specific aspect of when I worked in the call center at U, at UT or adjacent to UT Austin, and I had to call people who had just recently graduated and ask them for $50. Bless you. Bless you. So you had to call these people and you had to say, and I can't emphasize enough that I'm wearing a headset with the mic that comes around to my mouth. Like I look like.

• 27:34Brooke Averick?

  I know you were like chewing on that.

• 27:37Connor Wood?

  It was in my mouth.

• 27:38Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 27:39Connor Wood?

  Brooke, I had a binder. I had a binder with like my, here's what to do if they say no. Once you weren't allowed to let them go, you had to take three no's.

• 27:48Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 27:49Connor Wood?

  And you're sitting facing forward, that's my headset. You're sitting facing forward, you're sitting at these tables. It was a lot like severance. This room was devoid of windows. There is a room in the back where your, your supervisors were in and it was one-way glass, one-way mirror. So they were watching you and they were tapping into random people's calls as you made calls. So if they like saw that you had been doing a rapid, a high number, high volume of hangups, that just means you're like calling someone and hanging up. She can be like, I called XYZ. I'm trying to remember. Anyways, there was one day where I call someone and someone answers the phone. I go,

• 28:30Connor Wood?

  "Hey, whatever. Here's my spiel. How are you doing?" And they go, "I'm pretty depressed, to be fair. Like, it's been a year since I graduated. I can't find a job." Because I had to call the liberal arts school, which is not like really the school you want to go to if you're looking to have a job at any point, unless you want to get real creative with it. And I was like, "Okay, I understand. Can I have $50?" And they were like, "No, you can't." And I had to go through my thing. And then I finally was like, "I'm so sorry. Like, I'll let you go." It's just like clearly someone who was in the doldrums.

• 29:09Brooke Averick?

  This is literally, sorry, I'm rewatching Friends, but have you seen the episode where Phoebe is selling toner and she calls and Jason Alexander answers and she has to keep asking and he's like, "I don't need toner because I'm going to kill myself later."

• 29:24Connor Wood?

  Yeah, it was that. That was the conversation I was having with this guy. And he was like, "Well, thanks for talking to me." And I was like, "I need to get, this is like not really like a time when you would get someone's Instagram, but I was like, "I don't want to like leave this guy alone." I did have to hang up because I was just like, "I can't be, like, if they start listening to this and I'm just kind of chatting with this dude." Anyways, I hang up. My next call, I call and

• 29:54Connor Wood?

  a mom answers the phone. She's like, "He's dead. He's passed away."

• 29:57Brooke Averick?

  That sucks.

• 29:58Connor Wood?

  And I go, "Can I have $50?" She goes, "No."

• 30:05Connor Wood?

  Hmm. And I, my supervisor walked up and grabbed my shoulder and was like, "You gotta keep, you gotta ask the second, gotta do the second one." By the way, on the second one, you go up 50 bucks. So like, we know they said no the first time. "Okay, that's totally, we totally understand. I just want to tell you, when you donate, here's where it goes towards, can I have $100, by the way?"

• 30:30Connor Wood?

  She said, "No," but she's so nice. She's saying on the phone, "Dead son. Son is dead." I totally understand where you're coming from. Can I have $150? She does the $150.

• 30:40Brooke Averick?

  No.

• 30:42Connor Wood?

  I quit that day. I didn't go back in.

• 30:43Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 30:44Connor Wood?

  They called, they said, they said, "Don't even bother putting us as a reference." I go, "I'd rather put a gun in my mouth than put you as a reference for my next job. Thanks."

• 30:54Brooke Averick?

  That's horrible.

• 30:55Connor Wood?

  Yeah, it was really, I made $400, I think, total, after like however long I lived there. That was enough to get my drone, flew my drone one time.

• 31:04Brooke Averick?

  Got that drone with blood money.

• 31:06Connor Wood?

  Blood money, Brooke? Quite literally, blood money, which I probably have a little bit of blood on my headset hands, headset using hands. Anyways, lost the drone right away. Really just is like a, it's a real blemish in my resume that I, I mean, I don't include in my resume, obviously. I mean, I don't need to, I'd love to see my resume. I haven't looked at that timeless piece in about a month, about several fortnights. Speaking of blood money, I am crushing the transitions today. Did you hear, did you hear about this comedy festival that's happening in Saudi Arabia?

• 31:46Brooke Averick?

  No.

• 31:48Connor Wood?

  Okay, I figured this hadn't come across your desk, but it is a little bit relevant. So, the Riyadh, and I think I'm pronouncing that wrong, I could be pronouncing it right. This Riyadh Comedy Festival, it's apparently the biggest comedy festival in the world. You see here, Fluffy is there, I think, Pete Davidson's doing it.

• 32:10Brooke Averick?

  What?

• 32:10Connor Wood?

  Sam Morrell is doing it, Aziz Ansari is doing it, Mark Norman is doing it.

• 32:15Brooke Averick?

  Did you say Steve Carell?

• 32:16Connor Wood?

  Tom Segura is doing it, Dave Chappelle is doing it, Louis CK is doing it, which is so disappointing. Louis CK, we expected from everyone else. You, really?

• 32:28Brooke Averick?

  Wasn't he, is he canceled?

• 32:31Connor Wood?

  Yes. Bill Burr is doing it. Whitney Cummings is doing it.

• 32:37Connor Wood?

  I mean, Kevin Hart is doing it. Dave Chappelle is doing it. It's just, and it looks like Andrew Santino is doing it too. I'm pretty sure. Chris D. Comedy is doing it. That's a bummer. Bobby Lee is doing it.

• 32:49Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, a lot of people are doing it.

• 32:52Connor Wood?

  These are legit names. So Tim Dillon got invited to do it, apparently. He said, as a joke, he went on and was like, I have issues with it. Yeah, is there gonna be slavery? They have, they potentially might have slavery there still. Like, yeah, they violate every human rights rule in the book, but I value my finances. And they cut him out of the thing. Shane Gillis said no to it, which, like Shane Gillis, stand-up guy. Like, this is shocking. Some of these people that are doing it, and like Shane Gillis said no.

• 33:28Connor Wood?

  But I guess they're getting paid like four times what they would normally get paid for any singular show here. I think some people are getting like $2 million for just one set, like 45 minutes. But they got like a rulebook of things that they can't talk about. Like, you can't badmouth the government there. You can't talk, you can't, it was like basically, don't have fun, but not at the expense of us. Can't make fun of any religion. So it's interesting. And these are like, a lot of these comedians are the big like, you can't do comedy anymore. Like, you can't say all the things we used to say. And they're going to do this festival in Saudi Arabia. And this is like the seven, this is like the seven-year anniversary, I'm pretty sure, of when

• 34:11Connor Wood?

  this regime killed a journalist. I'm pretty sure. And it's gonna be like on, like during that

• 34:18Connor Wood?

  thing. So I don't know. It's like a really interesting thing that we, that is happening. It's crazy. Isn't that crazy to you at all that comedy is now this like huge pivotal thing and like legitimate?

• 34:34Connor Wood?

  Like, culture shifting conversations? Is it not weird that like comedy is like now that?

• 34:42Brooke Averick?

  I feel like comedy's always been like that, no?

• 34:46Connor Wood?

  I haven't noticed it like this level. This is like, this is like, it's really, really, these are some, some people in this list, I'm like...

• 34:55Brooke Averick?

  But like Pete Davidson, it's like, I'm sure you'd be fine without whatever they're paying you.

• 34:59Connor Wood?

  Well, Pete Davidson, a lot of people are saying like, he's the, the one that's the exception to the rule. Because I, I get, okay, and I, this is also speaking out of line, but I guess like, some person in this regime is like 9/11 adjacent and he like lost his dad, obviously. And so like, it's kind of like-

• 35:15Brooke Averick?

  He can do whatever he wants.

• 35:17Connor Wood?

  He's the exception to this. But there's a lot of, obviously, civil rights have not, they're not at our level there, or like, I don't know. I'm speaking, I can't even finish this sentence that I'm trying to speak, but I know that you know what I'm saying. I hope other people listening, like, understand what I'm saying. But like, it's really crazy to go there and, and, oh, yes, she also turned it down.

• 35:38Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I was about to say, like, it's tough because like, it's not like the people of Saudi Arabia are to blame and they're the ones that would be like enjoying the festival. But also, it's like when you're being paid by the government.

• 35:50Connor Wood?

  Eee, that, yeah, it's, it's like a government sanctioned comedy festival. And I don't think it's necessarily for the people, because I think it's really for, yeah, the money's coming straight from the Crown Prince.

• 36:02Brooke Averick?

  From the Crown Prince?

• 36:03Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 36:04Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, it's tough, huh?

• 36:06Connor Wood?

  Yeah, that's one where you just, you do really need to look the other way and say no. Because that's blood money, in a literal sense. So, um-

• 36:18Brooke Averick?

  Flash forward a few weeks, we're about to see Phoebe on that, on that list.

• 36:25Connor Wood?

  Yeah, that, that would be-

• 36:26Brooke Averick?

  On the roster.

• 36:27Connor Wood?

  No, like, you, you couldn't, that's like something where it's just like, you go, you get involved in that. And it's, we're talking about Bill Burr here, who I like adore.

• 36:35Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, that's your brother.

• 36:37Connor Wood?

  That's my absolute chosen family. Um, you'll never guess who's ringing me right now.

• 36:42Brooke Averick?

  Who?

• 36:43Connor Wood?

  Who's on the horn, Henry, I think he's in town.

• 36:46Brooke Averick?

  HHHH?

• 36:47Connor Wood?

  Yes!

• 36:48Brooke Averick?

  Yes, sir.

• 36:50Connor Wood?

  No, I like, maybe I'll invite him over for bonus.

• 36:54Brooke Averick?

  He's becoming a staple in the B and C community.

• 36:58Connor Wood?

  Him like, that's someone who would never take Saudi blood money.

• 37:04Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 37:04Connor Wood?

  Unless he really needed another Valencia Alkabag.

• 37:07Brooke Averick?

  Right, unless he was like completely craving a new Balenz.

• 37:12Connor Wood?

  Unless he, unless there's a new Bottega Fina.

• 37:15Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, Bottega Fina.

• 37:16Connor Wood?

  That was, and he had, he really, it was 1.6 million dollars specifically, then yeah, I think he might accept it and he might do a show for the Crown Prince.

• 37:23Brooke Averick?

  Okay, let's talk about our weekends.

• 37:26Connor Wood?

  Okay, go ahead.

• 37:27Brooke Averick?

  Paul, did you have a good weekend?

• 37:29Connor Wood?

  I had an awesome weekend. My dad was in town.

• 37:31Brooke Averick?

  How was that?

• 37:32Connor Wood?

  It was fabulous. I was obviously in LA the whole time. Then I got back to New York. My dad was here. We went to the Ryder Cup with Celsius, which I told you guys a long time ago. I think I told everybody a long time ago, my dad's dream has been to go to this Ryder Cup, which is basically like the United States. It's like the Olympics for golf. It's like the United States versus Europe. And I don't know if you saw any news about it. It was like, it was this incredible thing. We weren't, I didn't see any of this like shit show happening, but I guess like the, like it's a big, you drink a lot and it's like a golf tournament. So you dread, like there were a lot of guys and like colonial stuff for like US versus Britain, like old, it was funny. We had the best time ever. Again,

• 38:16Connor Wood?

  went with Celsius. They hooked it the heck up. If you guys are, I had like, and this will be the whitest thing I say on the podcast, I think today, even though like the rest, I'm sure there were some one liners in there where it's like, got it. But like, I had the best weekend ever, drinking 100 beers at a golf tournament with my dad. That was amazing.

• 38:36Brooke Averick?

  That's sweet. And that's a memory that you two will share forever.

• 38:39Connor Wood?

  Yes. And if everyone wouldn't mind going, going and grabbing a Celsius, to thank Celsius for having me and my father at the Ryder Cup, because I was going to try to take him to this and tickets were blood money, amount of money to buy. So I would have maybe been on the Saudi Arabia.

• 38:55Brooke Averick?

  You would have done this.

• 38:56Connor Wood?

  Comedian list to take my, yeah, to take my dad to this. So Celsius was able to tag me out. And if you do get a Celsius, to thank Celsius for taking me and my dad to this, go ahead and tag him and be like, hashtag. Hashtag this is for, hashtag thanks Celsius.

• 39:13Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 39:13Connor Wood?

  But it was so awesome. Team was awesome. The crew that went was awesome. We got to watch some people that went to college, which is really crazy to see them playing in a golf tournament at the scale that it was. But it's like this insane golf tournament that is not even held in the United States all the time. Sometimes it's in Europe. This golf course that we went to is like extremely nice, like an hour and a half north of Manhattan. But my dad stayed in New York the whole time and he like loves New York now.

• 39:40Brooke Averick?

  That's so sweet.

• 39:41Connor Wood?

  Yeah, it was, it's crazy. He like wanted to do all these things from Central Park. He loves the West Side Highway. We went out to eat a bunch. But get this, Celsius put him in this nice hotel. Okay, like so nice. He's there for one day. He calls me and he goes, "Hey, I don't want, I don't want to stay, I want to stay at your apartment. I came here to see you." He checked out two days early of this sick hotel that they were so gracious, so graciously put him up in and sat to my couch.

• 40:15Brooke Averick?

  That's making me tear up.

• 40:17Connor Wood?

  Sat to my couch.

• 40:17Brooke Averick?

  Do you realize how sick that is?

• 40:19Connor Wood?

  It was very sweet. It was so sweet. I was like.

• 40:22Brooke Averick?

  I want, I came here to see you. I want to stay at your apartment. That's like so sweet Connor.

• 40:29Connor Wood?

  We had like a very great weekend. It was, it was awesome.

• 40:32Brooke Averick?

  That's making my extremely fat heart extremely fatly happy.

• 40:37Connor Wood?

  I can see it pounding out of your chest right now.

• 40:39Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 40:39Connor Wood?

  Yeah, he's, he's the best. It was so much fun. Got to see a bunch of people. We had a great, great time out in the daylight, drinking grape transfusions, which you would adore and then you would, you would be crying.

• 40:52Brooke Averick?

  What is a grape transfusion?

• 40:54Connor Wood?

  I think it's vodka and like some sort of grape slash cranberry mix.

• 40:58Brooke Averick?

  Ah, yeah.

• 40:59Connor Wood?

  And it's just like.

• 41:01Connor Wood?

  I mean, it's absolutely.

• 41:02Brooke Averick?

  Ooh, welches?

• 41:03Connor Wood?

  Yeah, it's like so good.

• 41:05Brooke Averick?

  Oh, my God, I love, oh, my God, vodka. That I don't care for, but the grape juice, ginger ale and fresh lime juice, I would be.

• 41:16Connor Wood?

  No, you.

• 41:17Brooke Averick?

  To the stomach.

• 41:18Connor Wood?

  No, well, let me tell you.

• 41:20Brooke Averick?

  I love grape juice. I love Shabba grape juice.

• 41:23Connor Wood?

  Oh, yeah. I mean, and it was, and Shabbat Shalom, by the way, or not Shabbat Shalom. Happy Rosh Hashanah. I'm late, but belated Rosh Hashanah.

• 41:29Brooke Averick?

  Thank you, Connor. Can you believe Yom Kippur is already coming up?

• 41:34Connor Wood?

  No. Have, have you?

• 41:36Brooke Averick?

  On Thursday, when the day this episode comes out.

• 41:39Connor Wood?

  Oh, my gosh.

• 41:40Brooke Averick?

  I'll be in, I'll be in Bean Town.

• 41:43Connor Wood?

  Right. Wait. Oh, Chicago.

• 41:45Brooke Averick?

  Nope. Boston.

• 41:48Connor Wood?

  Bean Town is Chicago. They have the bean.

• 41:51Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, but Bean Town is Boston.

• 41:53Connor Wood?

  Why are, why are they Bean Town and Boston?

• 41:55Brooke Averick?

  Hard for me to say. I don't understand Boston as a community.

• 41:58Connor Wood?

  Getting dick down in Dallas and getting bean downed in Boston.

• 42:01Brooke Averick?

  Because it was historically famous for its signature Boston baked beans.

• 42:06Connor Wood?

  Huh.

• 42:06Brooke Averick?

  Amazing.

• 42:08Connor Wood?

  It's crazy that a dish like a canned bean can get, make, rename your city. That's, that was like one of the first cities.

• 42:16Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, like it's the fact that like your city is so associated with beans that it actually takes the name Bean Town. That's an amazing thing.

• 42:24Connor Wood?

  The more you eat, the more you toot.

• 42:26Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 42:28Connor Wood?

• 43:28Connor Wood?

  That was my entire weekend. Obviously, the food was, there was like free food and stuff. I had like one little bite because we were around all these people and I was like, "Oh, just have a little nibble." And then we're walking around and there's bar after bar after bar. We're kind of grabbing grape transfusions. They got away from me a little bit, I'll be honest, out in the sun.

• 43:46Brooke Averick?

  Fine, that's fine.

• 43:47Connor Wood?

  Having the grape transfusions. I just had so much, I just had so much fun. Ran into Chase Crawford.

• 43:54Brooke Averick?

  Oh my God, what was that? First of all, there's a picture of Connor and Chase Crawford on his Instagram story and Connor's arms were draped, like Connor's hitting Chase from behind, like arms around his neck in a way that like, it looked like you were showing off your like ring.

• 44:15Connor Wood?

  That I said yes.

• 44:16Brooke Averick?

  That you said yes, like he said yes.

• 44:18Connor Wood?

  Well, so funny because I was sitting there with my friends. We went over and like checked into the Ralph Lauren thing because they were like a huge sponsor of this cup. And I mean, it's such a class act event that I was just not, I was like one level below class act. This is like peak of my transfusion experience. And I see Chase, I'm like, "Oh my God, that's so..."

• 44:39Brooke Averick?

  Did you watch that, girl?

• 44:41Connor Wood?

  Yeah, and I went up, like I watched it recently too. So like it's very top of mind for me. And I kind of go and I'm like, "Hey man." And then I saw who he's with, he's with one of my friends, Kelsey. And I'm like, "Oh, Kelsey, what are you doing? I haven't seen you." Like whatever. So we start talking, we sit down, she's like, "Oh, let's send a picture to like one of our mutual friends." We send it and she's like, "Oh, let me get a picture of you." So it did seem like I was ethically clout chasing, which I guess was kind of a joke. And then I did end up accidentally ethically clout chasing, which is lovely when that happens because it wasn't like...

• 45:09Brooke Averick?

  It's nice when it's an accident.

• 45:11Connor Wood?

  It wasn't like an outrageous act. It was a very small group of people and I was like, oh my God, hey. And then we hung out for a second. He was the nicest individual that I've truly like, I have family members that I have not felt as connected as I did for that brief moment with such a, such a class act. He looked amazing. But like, his personality was fabulous. Did I forget deodorant?

• 45:33Brooke Averick?

  Hundred percent.

• 45:34Connor Wood?

  Yeah. Hundred percent. Well, I see him again. I don't, I don't think I know if he's, he's very Matthew Gray Goob adjacent to me in terms of like, I did feel a connection. Like, I'm gonna

• 45:45Brooke Averick?

  You're telling me that you feel the same level of connection with Chase Crawford that you do, MGG?

• 45:51Connor Wood?

  I said adjacent. Like, I do feel like they, like, I felt the same way with Chase that I did with Matthew. So I don't know if there's an invisible string that I'm pulling, I'm tugging on and he, like, I feel, you know, but it's impossible to say right now. So one of, that's one of those things you, you aren't, you can't really anticipate unless I accidentally already have in RE Keith and Nicole, you know, like, that was a, you know, he could, he could be on his podcast right now being like, I met this absolute outrageous loser this weekend.

• 46:23Brooke Averick?

  I don't think so. You guys had a really nice connection.

• 46:26Connor Wood?

  Well, my, I sometimes misread situations all the time. So anyways, it was a great weekend. It was super fun. How was yours?

• 46:35Brooke Averick?

  Connor, I had an amazing weekend. In a way. I just had an eventful weekend. Um, well, it started off with just like general excitement with Phoebe and I wanted to just take a second to thank everybody for pre-ordering. That is a very sweet and makes a girl like me from a very small town in Pennsylvania very happy. So, thank you all for pre-ordering and, you know, it's still available and stuff like that. And it will be for the next eight months. So that's really exciting. And then it will come out and that's exciting as well. So.

• 47:11Connor Wood?

  Let's get ahead of the curve now, y'all.

• 47:13Brooke Averick?

  So that's amazing. And then on Friday, Matt and I went book thrifting. We had this whole adventure planned. We'd been wanting, I've really been wanting to build my library out because when I moved to LA, I had in Philly, the most amazing bookshelf, the most amazing collection, and I left it all, I gave, gave it all away. Well, basically, I was like, here, Mom, take all my books. And then she gave them all away, which was amazing.

• 47:41Brooke Averick?

  But I left my collection behind and so now I'm really in the market for getting all of the books that I had read and loved and didn't own and so was Matt. So we went on this adventure. We hit four used bookshops all across Los Angeles. Like truly, we were out and about on the town for five hours and we had an amazing day.

• 48:01Connor Wood?

  It's really sweet. I love to see my cousins at it again.

• 48:05Brooke Averick?

  Love to see those two hanging out. My goal was to get like the Harry Potters, Twilight's, and Hunger Games. Didn't get any Hunger Games. I got one, I got New Moon. I got two Harry Potters. Then I got a bunch of other stuff that I didn't even realize that I needed, but I did. And so that was amazing and now my library is looking phenomenal. So that was exciting. And then on Saturday, it was a really anticipated house party.

• 48:34Connor Wood?

  Yeah, this is one that I was really upset about and if my dad wouldn't have been in town in New York, I would have definitely been present there.

• 48:40Brooke Averick?

  So basically, our amazing friend Kat had agreed to host a house party and the idea was that we were gonna get as many straights there as possible because with my group of friends, you know, we don't, in Los Angeles, we don't really know any straight men or even bisexual men or men that would have any interest in a girl like me and a girl like Channing, Megan, Sodi, etc. All of us girls who were just looking for love. In the big city, we've not had much luck and so Kat graciously agreed despite her being coupled up to host this party for us to kind of, you know, find someone who might take an interest, okay?

• 49:21Connor Wood?

  Right.

• 49:22Brooke Averick?

  So the directive was like, hey, everyone, partyful kind of just blasted out to everyone that we know and with the instructions, please invite any straight guy that you've ever met or seen. Okay? So I had, obviously, this was something that I, you know, did full body shape for and everything like that, similar to all of my One Direction concerts and shades, and by shades, I mean straights, showed up and showed out at the party. There were so many straights that I'd never seen before. Couldn't quite even say hi to one of them.

• 49:57Brooke Averick?

  It was tough.

• 49:57Connor Wood?

  It happens.

• 49:58Brooke Averick?

  There were two that I was like, wow, like, this is like a cute boy that I haven't seen something like this in a really long time, that, that maybe they would like, like a girl like me or something like that. I couldn't, I couldn't, couldn't say hi. It was too jarring. It was too jarring. So basically, the only one that got coupled up that night was Tristan. Tristan found his Pookie Pookie.

• 50:22Connor Wood?

  Oh!

• 50:23Brooke Averick?

  And they have a date.

• 50:25Connor Wood?

  Wow, talk about manifestation space.

• 50:27Brooke Averick?

  They have a date on Wednesday, like an actual like dinner date, which is huge.

• 50:32Connor Wood?

  Whoa.

• 50:32Brooke Averick?

  And so that, that will have already happened by the time this comes out. So hopefully Tristan found the one. And so he has to host the next one of these. Cause that's the new tradition is that whoever finds their Pookie Pookie at one of these events, hosts the next one.

• 50:47Connor Wood?

  That's brilliant.

• 50:47Brooke Averick?

  Tristan's gonna host the next one. And I guess this one was really an opportunity for me to get used to being in the same room as these type of folks. And then, um, for the next one, I'll be able to say hi. And then maybe the next one even more than that, something more than that, which will be exciting. And Izzy, Izzy showed up and showed out too.

• 51:07Connor Wood?

  Oh, Izzy Bell.

• 51:09Speaker 04

  I was, I had so much fun.

• 51:10Brooke Averick?

  Did you find the one?

• 51:11Speaker 04

  Oh, did I find the one?

• 51:12Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 51:13Speaker 04

  Um, no, Channing and I found each other.

• 51:15Brooke Averick?

  Channing and Izzy found each other, which was amazing.

• 51:18Connor Wood?

  Oh, that's good.

• 51:18Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. So that was great.

• 51:21Connor Wood?

  What a special, special evening.

• 51:23Brooke Averick?

  It was really fun.

• 51:24Connor Wood?

  I wish I could have been there. I hope I'm in town for the next one.

• 51:27Brooke Averick?

  And then Sunday, I was feeling, I was sick. I had come down with something from the mocktails from the previous night.

• 51:34Connor Wood?

  Maybe from the catio.

• 51:35Brooke Averick?

  From the catio, yeah. Something in the catio was going around. And, but our friend Emma, who, um, works on Mark Ronson's management team was like, he's doing an event at Barnes and Noble at the Grove, like if anyone wants to come. And I was like, I cannot say no to anything that takes place at the Barnes and Noble.

• 51:55Connor Wood?

  Right.

• 51:56Brooke Averick?

  So I went and like, I knew, I know of Mark Ronson, of course. Who, who doesn't? Great, great guy, creates some great hits. Um, but like, I never like really did a deep dive. And so I, you know, was sitting at Mark Ronson's book signing, cause he has a new memoir out. He's the love of my life in a way that's like, yes, I imprint on a lot of people. Of course, it's happened many times. Not, not like this.

• 52:24Brooke Averick?

  This guy, I mean, me telling everybody about Mark Ronson as if y'all don't know, sleeper hit. I'm really serious. Like, I was, he's, first of all, he's 50 years old. He doesn't look a day over 32. He looks exactly like Andrew Garfield, and yet he looks like no one I've ever seen, because he's so one of a kind. Is that not Andrew Garfield, but also no one that you've ever seen before? Can you hear me?

• 52:50Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I'm looking at it. Like, he looks like somebody I know.

• 52:53Brooke Averick?

  He's 50.

• 52:54Connor Wood?

  I could see, I could see Andrew Garfield. Brooke, you know, I met him like two weeks ago.

• 52:57Brooke Averick?

  No. I didn't.

• 52:59Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 53:01Brooke Averick?

  He's so accomplished and so talented and so amazing.

• 53:05Connor Wood?

  Hang on, hang on, hang on. The IMDb picture, no, up where he has bleached hair. That is, that looks like Marshall. The bleached hair to the right.

• 53:15Brooke Averick?

  That doesn't look like Marshall, but I, Marshall, Marshall looks like a lot of hotties.

• 53:21Connor Wood?

  That looks, like if I'm squinting, that's like Marshall 100% because of the ears.

• 53:26Brooke Averick?

  Marshall kinda looks like Jonathan Bailey. Marshall's the one.

• 53:32Connor Wood?

  Um, yeah, I met Mark and I talked to him for a while and he was so nice.

• 53:37Brooke Averick?

  The greatest guy. And I don't want to freak anyone out. He did sign my book XO and Love, and he only signed Marshall's X dash mark. Thanks.

• 53:45Connor Wood?

  So he only wants to kiss Marsh and he wants to hug you.

• 53:47Brooke Averick?

  Marshall and he wants to kiss and hug me. I was thinking, because you know, he produced Back to Black.

• 53:54Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 53:54Brooke Averick?

  I was, I had this fantasy that he was gonna see me in the signing and be like, oh my God, you remind me so much of my dear friend Amy. Like, can I just hug you?

• 54:01Connor Wood?

  Oh, Brooke.

• 54:02Brooke Averick?

  He didn't, but I did think that was gonna happen. Especially because my hair was kinda up in that way. Um, but no, he didn't, he didn't seem, if he was having that kind of moment, he didn't express it. But it's very early on in our relationship.

• 54:20Brooke Averick?

  I love Mark Ronson and I'm really excited to listen to the audiobook of his memoir.

• 54:25Connor Wood?

  I have it too.

• 54:26Brooke Averick?

  He read chapter six out loud. It was so amazing. And I told him that.

• 54:30Connor Wood?

  It's really, it's sitting in my repertoire over in my kitchen.

• 54:34Brooke Averick?

  He's awesome.

• 54:36Connor Wood?

  It's great. I love to have a little hot pink in my collection.

• 54:39Brooke Averick?

  Great cover.

• 54:41Connor Wood?

  Great cover. Um, well, that's, that's great, Brooke. I'm stoked for you. I'm excited to see where that goes.

• 54:46Brooke Averick?

  Me too. There's something else I wanted to tell you.

• 54:49Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 54:50Brooke Averick?

  I was watching Knocked Up the other night.

• 54:52Connor Wood?

  Great movie.

• 54:54Brooke Averick?

  And I was like, that's so crazy that like Leslie Mann and Paul Rudd are married in this movie and also have the same kids that they have in This Is 40. Like Maude and Iris Hapitow are their children in Knocked Up and also in This Is 40. And I was like, what are the odds? Did you realize This Is 40 is a sequel of Knocked Up?

• 55:15Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 55:16Brooke Averick?

  Who was gonna tell me that?

• 55:20Connor Wood?

  I'm pretty sure like we've talked about it. Like I'm not gonna, not gonna ask hard of you.

• 55:25Brooke Averick?

  It's a sequel.

• 55:27Connor Wood?

  I'm pretty sure I learned that with you. I could have not though.

• 55:30Brooke Averick?

  It's so possible.

• 55:32Connor Wood?

  This Is 40 is, many people forget a rom com and it's one of the best. And Leslie Mann really needs like the Meryl Streep treatment. Like that's, that she, she's like one of our,

• 55:48Connor Wood?

  she's like one of the greats. I think that she already has-

• 55:50Brooke Averick?

  Has she been in something like very serious?

• 55:52Connor Wood?

  I don't think so. I don't think she fucks with it, which is pretty fine. It was like, how nice is it to go and she's naturally funny. She walks in, anything, I'm gonna go have fun with my friends and my husband's gonna be my boss for this. My daughters are coming to work with me. We're carpooling in probably a Volvo, probably a bit big Volvo. And then she's gonna get out, gonna have a couple, couple of weeks of fun with her entire family in tow and my husband's best friend that I'm gonna make out with, which is like-

• 56:20Brooke Averick?

  That's interesting. Yeah, that's a good point.

• 56:23Connor Wood?

  Um, and then I'm gonna head home and then I'm gonna make about 40 or 50 million dollars in my career. I'm still gonna be young and, and very beautiful. And I'm still gonna have this awesome family and married to my husband and so close with our close friends that we work with on a daily basis. And then I'm gonna retire and I'm gonna be sitting up-

• 56:40Brooke Averick?

  Is Leslie Mann the woman that has it all? A hundred percent. Like I can't think of anyone that has it all more than LM.

• 56:48Connor Wood?

  No, I mean, they're the royal family to me in many ways. And in my, in the world I live in, the appetouses, that's the royal family to me.

• 57:00Brooke Averick?

  Well, you know, I spoke to Maude like months ago because she was waiting to get her haircut after me.

• 57:06Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 57:07Brooke Averick?

  Back when I, when I used to, when I went to Chris that one time and got the life-changing RS3. And she knows, she knows of the podcast because one of her friends is a fan.

• 57:19Connor Wood?

  That's right.

• 57:19Brooke Averick?

  So she knows who you are.

• 57:21Connor Wood?

  Ciao, Maude.

• 57:23Brooke Averick?

  And then Iris followed me like back in 2020 and I was like, whoa. And then she pretty immediately unfollowed me.

• 57:28Connor Wood?

  Because a lot of times on accident that happens, but that's okay. Whoa.

• 57:31Brooke Averick?

  It felt on purpose.

• 57:34Connor Wood?

  What?

• 57:34Brooke Averick?

  It felt on purpose. It felt intentional, but I-

• 57:37Connor Wood?

  Oh, no, I meant following you.

• 57:39Brooke Averick?

  Huh?

• 57:40Connor Wood?

  Following you.

• 57:41Brooke Averick?

  Unfollowing.

• 57:42Connor Wood?

  Following might have been an accident. Unfollowing might have been on purpose.

• 57:45Brooke Averick?

  That's mean.

• 57:46Connor Wood?

  I'm just kidding. Jesus.

• 57:48Brooke Averick?

  That's extremely mean.

• 57:50Connor Wood?

  Extremely hurtful and disgusting.

• 57:53Brooke Averick?

  Take your records. I've been trying so hard not to start with that.

• 57:57Connor Wood?

  That one girl just shot herself.

• 57:59Brooke Averick?

  I know she did. And I literally, this whole, ever since we started talking about Keith Urban at the beginning of the podcast, I've been saying in my head, don't start. Don't let it slip out. And it just slipped at 55 minutes. It slipped. And I want everyone to know I tried.

• 58:14Connor Wood?

  Okay, wait, hang on. I really wanna have something to clip here.

• 58:19Brooke Averick?

  I was just thinking like, there's almost not something that, that we can.

• 58:24Connor Wood?

  Okay, should we get onto a topic that we can clip? Because I do like my shirt.

• 58:31Brooke Averick?

  Uh, yeah, what?

• 58:33Connor Wood?

  Let me, let me see if I, let me see if I can do something.

• 58:35Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 58:36Connor Wood?

  But I want, I really, I'm really hoping, praying to God that, that you have something to say about this.

• 58:41Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I pray. I'll try. I'll try, champ.

• 58:48Connor Wood?

  Try to walk away and I stumble. Though I try to hide it, it's clear. My world crumbles when you are not here. So I have been hold, I have, I have caught myself several times. Mouth just agape recently. My mouth is what? I'm walking around, I'm sitting, I'm standing, I'm listening to someone talk, mouth open.

• 59:06Brooke Averick?

  Mouth wide open like you're at the dentist type vibes.

• 59:09Connor Wood?

  Like this, bro.

• 59:13Brooke Averick?

  Thank you for showing me.

• 59:16Connor Wood?

  And I'm walking down the street the other day. Something, something landed in my mouth, didn't even touch my lips. Swish. All, nothing but net dripped from above. Onto my tongue.

• 59:31Connor Wood?

  Incredible shot.

• 59:34Brooke Averick?

  Is that the thing you were gonna, you wanted to say?

• 59:37Connor Wood?

  Nope, I just wanted to say that. I can't figure out why my mouth has been hanging open unhinged. Loose jaw, all of a sudden I don't know. It's not like an isolated thing either. It's been. It keeps, I keep catching myself, my, my, my, my lip is almost touching my. Adam's apple.

• 59:56Connor Wood?

  Is it Adam's apple because of?

• 59:57Brooke Averick?

  More than usual now that you mention it.

• 1:00:00Connor Wood?

  I think we're, I think we're regressing a lot due to our screen time.

• 1:00:04Brooke Averick?

  Oh, don't even get me started on my screen time.

• 1:00:07Connor Wood?

  Is it Adam's apple because of Adam and Eve?

• 1:00:11Connor Wood?

  Because I think it should be Eve's apple that's stuck in my throat. She ate it first.

• 1:00:15Brooke Averick?

  Oh my god. The piece of forbidden fruit got stuck in his throat.

• 1:00:21Connor Wood?

  Whoa.

• 1:00:24Connor Wood?

  Did he choke?

• 1:00:24Brooke Averick?

  Another theory suggests the name may stem from mistranslation of a Hebrew word meaning swelling of a man.

• 1:00:31Brooke Averick?

  What kind of word translates to swelling of a man?

• 1:00:34Connor Wood?

  Boner.

• 1:00:36Brooke Averick?

  Nice.

• 1:00:38Connor Wood?

  Nice. What if this was called, what if this was called a boner?

• 1:00:41Brooke Averick?

  And what if your boner was called Adam's apple?

• 1:00:44Connor Wood?

  Well, here, I want to.

• 1:00:46Brooke Averick?

  I just got an, like, that seems better to me. That makes more sense.

• 1:00:51Connor Wood?

  Visible bulge of cartilage? Yeah, that's

• 1:00:53Brooke Averick?

  That's a boner. So, I mean, really, your Adam's apple is just the boner of your neck.

• 1:01:01Connor Wood?

  It's the northern hemisphere of your body's boner. Um, okay, well, I think that

• 1:01:08Connor Wood?

  that's, I just really don't understand why it became Adam's apple. I guess it is Adam's apple if he's the one-

• 1:01:14Brooke Averick?

  Because it's got stuck in his throat.

• 1:01:17Connor Wood?

  But Eve handed him the apple, like, if you hand me your matzo ball soup, for example, and I choke on one of the balls, it wouldn't be Connor's ball. It would be Brooke's matzo ball soup stuck in his throat. I got your soup stuck in my throat.

• 1:01:32Brooke Averick?

  But the piece of cartilage that's protruding would be yours.

• 1:01:36Connor Wood?

  But it wasn't ever cartilage. It was a part of an apple that was sticking out that you could see.

• 1:01:43Brooke Averick?

  But it caused the visible bulge of cartilage. It's not the apple itself.

• 1:01:49Connor Wood?

  Did he die because he choked?

• 1:01:50Brooke Averick?

  He did not.

• 1:01:52Connor Wood?

  So did she give him the Heimlich?

• 1:01:54Brooke Averick?

  I think maybe it just passed.

• 1:01:57Connor Wood?

  Hmm. As all things do.

• 1:01:59Brooke Averick?

  Can I ask you a question that's completely unrelated, but something I did actually want to bring up today?

• 1:02:04Connor Wood?

  Brooke, you can ask me anything.

• 1:02:06Brooke Averick?

  That's really sweet. You're such a good friend. Um, I don't know if this is something that only girls do, or only-

• 1:02:16Connor Wood?

  Well, let's find out.

• 1:02:16Brooke Averick?

  Or only maybe someone with a brain like me does. But have you ever developed, like, a very intense obsession with just, like, a normal friend group of, I guess for me, it's been, like, boys. A normal friend group of guys, as if they're a celebrity, but they have no idea who you are. Like, basically, that's, like, in college. My friends and I were, like, just, like, so deeply obsessed with this one group of friends from a fraternity that they became, like, complete celebrities, even though, like, they were just normal people. And, like, everything they did, it was like, "Oh, I'm obsessed with these boys," as if they are, like, Harry Styles. This is, it's not making sense.

• 1:02:58Brooke Averick?

  Never mind, I don't want to talk about it. It's stupid. Forget I said anything.

• 1:03:02Connor Wood?

  I think that that's the most normal thing that you've ever said, actually.

• 1:03:06Brooke Averick?

  Oh, really?

• 1:03:07Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I think everybody has that.

• 1:03:11Brooke Averick?

  Okay, I'll actually, there is a story I need to tell, but I can only share it in bonus, so forget it. Put a pin in it. But, let's just say I've developed something really scary.

• 1:03:22Connor Wood?

  Alright.

• 1:03:23Brooke Averick?

  Let's just say that.

• 1:03:26Brooke Averick?

  And then, and then I can say a little bit more about it later, so let's just go.

• 1:03:31Connor Wood?

  Alright, well, I'm gonna start saying there's a boner in my throat.

• 1:03:33Brooke Averick?

  And I'm just gonna start saying, I have an, I have an Adam's apple.

• 1:03:37Connor Wood?

  Well, I'm a little choked up, there's a boner in my throat. We keep like doing the best phrases ever recently, and they're just starting to happen. Boner in my throat? I don't know if it's gonna stick around. Cause now that I've said it twice-

• 1:03:48Brooke Averick?

  Hey, you know what? Now that I think about it, let's drop it.

• 1:03:51Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I don't even like that at all. Like, I thought about it a little, and I'm like, I'm funny, and that's gross even, you know?

• 1:03:59Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 1:04:00Connor Wood?

  Oh, well, I have something else to share in bonus too.

• 1:04:06Connor Wood?

  Yeah, see ya.

• 1:04:07Brooke Averick?

  Okay, bye.
