  Kayak searches and compares hundreds of travel sites. But unless I repeat the word kayak, Kayak thinks you won't remember that. So Kayak asked me to say kayak as many times as possible. Kayak. Kayak. Kayak. Kayak. Kayak. Kayak. Kai. Ooh. Ak. Kai, Kai, Kai, Kai, kayak. Kayak, kayak, kayak. Kayak. Search, compare, and save on your trip. Kayak. Got that right.

• 1:07Connor Wood?

  Hey, guys.

• 1:08Brooke Averick?

  Oh.

• 1:10Connor Wood?

  What?

• 1:11Brooke Averick?

  I said, "Hi, champ."

• 1:12Connor Wood?

  Hi, champette. How are you?

• 1:15Brooke Averick?

  Good, how are you?

• 1:16Connor Wood?

  I'm so good. Welcome back to Brooke and Connor Make a Podcast, Brooke.

• 1:19Brooke Averick?

  Welcome back to Brooke and Connor Make a Podcast, Connor.

• 1:22Connor Wood?

  That's a tongue twister. You don't want to get stuck in a situation where you have to say that 10 times fast.

• 1:26Brooke Averick?

  I could if I... What if I... You know what? I was gonna say that I could if I had to, but obviously...

• 1:33Connor Wood?

  Well, luckily, you're not a woodchuck, so you don't have to chuck any wood today. But today's?

• 1:37Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 1:55Connor Wood?

  Today's just a good day. It's a family day. Welcome back from the holidays, everybody. What a confusing week it's been for, like, across the... Are you confused this week?

• 2:07Brooke Averick?

  Very much. I'm having a little bit of a hard time adjusting to waking... Having the blessing and privilege to wake up early.

• 2:19Connor Wood?

  Nice catch.

• 2:20Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 2:22Brooke Averick?

  I'm having a little bit of some difficulty connecting with that opportunity.

• 2:27Brooke Averick?

  In a positive way. So.

• 2:31Connor Wood?

  Well said.

• 2:32Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 2:34Connor Wood?

  This is kind of like the time of the year where I truly, truly, truly start to understand those people that are like, time is a concept that was created by man. Because when someone's like, Sunday, I'm like, who the fuck cares?

• 2:46Brooke Averick?

  January is a Sunday, is a Sunday.

• 2:49Connor Wood?

  I fully, I, I, I like clicked on on Sunday where I was like, okay, time to catch up on stuff. And I'm sending email after email and people are like, hey, just reminder it's Sunday. And I was like, and?

• 2:59Brooke Averick?

  I, yeah, this is, it's just difficult and confusing. And I can't do anything or move from the end of November to the end of Noce- Don't Noceber. So I can't, let me take that one from the top. I can't do anything or move in a good way from the end of November to the end of December. Like, um, taking a load off, like letting myself relax, happy holidays, good. And then it becomes, I can't move in a bad way from the beginning of January to about mid-March.

• 3:33Connor Wood?

  So I'm actually gonna do the Eggs Benedict.

• 3:37Connor Wood?

  But Noceber though, for those. I feel the same way. But also I get like such a fire in my belly for January because I felt like such a lard ass these past couple of weeks, just like at home. And I like, was kind of like sick of the maniosis over the, where I was like, no, I'm not opening my email. I'm not opening my email. And now you pay the fine for not opening your email for two and a half weeks.

• 4:05Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Um, I'm, I'm struggling pretty significantly.

• 4:09Connor Wood?

  We were actually, speaking of being given blessing after blessing in disguise. And sometimes they're so hidden.

• 4:15Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 4:17Connor Wood?

  We're actually blessed to be in like the only country in the world that like, I, I have that thing where like, people go on vacation everywhere else in the world for so long, like a month at a time.

• 4:28Connor Wood?

  You know what I mean?

• 4:29Brooke Averick?

  Well, people don't even like, again, this is me talking out of my ass I have, as I have not lived in another country and don't really know too much about the lifestyles of most others, but like in Europe, let's say Italy, for example, because that's the place I've been. I feel like they just like don't need these long vacations because they don't have the same sort of like work-life imbalance that we do. So it's just like, they don't live for vacation because not life is a vacation, but life is not like career, work oriented the way it is here. So they don't have those high highs and low lows.

• 5:05Connor Wood?

  I guess what I don't understand is like, anytime I've been on a trip out of the country and I meet people from other countries and they're like, where are you going next? I'm like, what do you mean? We've been here for eight days. We're going home. We have to go to work. And they're like, oh, wow. Like, we've been here, we went here, we have two more weeks to travel and they've been gone for three weeks.

• 5:20Brooke Averick?

  Really?

• 5:21Connor Wood?

  I'm like, I'm kind of confused.

• 5:22Brooke Averick?

  What countries are you talking about where they might be from?

• 5:25Connor Wood?

  I met some Australians that said this. I met some Canadians that said this.

• 5:28Brooke Averick?

  Australia is all like the exact reverse of us. So maybe it was their summer.

• 5:33Connor Wood?

  Well, still, even in the summer, like, we're not 14, like, we don't get too much off.

• 5:40Brooke Averick?

  Sorry, I was thinking about when I was a teacher.

• 5:41Connor Wood?

  Yeah, like, I'm just confused how someone that works, that lives in Italy, like, an Italian person that works in marketing, how are you taking a month off?

• 5:50Brooke Averick?

  It's not the same.

• 5:53Connor Wood?

  Italian people don't work in coffee shop, you know, like, it's not just like pizza and coffee shop. It's like, they still have office there.

• 6:00Brooke Averick?

  No, but I think like, I'm having a hard time like forming thoughts, just, you remember how earlier I was telling you that I'm having like, I had the blessing and privilege of waking up early and I'm having trouble connecting with it?

• 6:12Connor Wood?

  Correct.

• 6:13Brooke Averick?

  It's affecting my brain power to have more like critical conversations like this one. Does that make sense?

• 6:19Connor Wood?

  Um, I wouldn't, I wouldn't put this in the critical category.

• 6:21Brooke Averick?

  What'd you say?

• 6:22Connor Wood?

  I wouldn't put this in the critical category.

• 6:24Brooke Averick?

  I would. That's how I feel right now.

• 6:26Connor Wood?

  Really?

• 6:27Brooke Averick?

  This feels critical. This feels like critical thinking right now.

• 6:30Connor Wood?

  Life or death thing?

• 6:31Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, that's just, I'm trying to tell you, that's the severity of how, of the difficulty I'm having with connecting with my early wake up, is that this feels pretty, pretty highbrow, intellectual.

• 6:45Brooke Averick?

  Like I'd be much more comfortable talking about like,

• 6:50Brooke Averick?

  I don't want to say like.

• 6:53Connor Wood?

  You're gonna say poop.

• 6:53Brooke Averick?

  No, don't put words in my mouth.

• 6:57Connor Wood?

  I'll put poop in your mouth.

• 6:58Brooke Averick?

  Ew.

• 6:59Connor Wood?

  Look at my cup.

• 7:01Brooke Averick?

  What, I can't see what it says.

• 7:02Connor Wood?

  It was given to us during the art competition.

• 7:05Brooke Averick?

  That's.

• 7:05Connor Wood?

  Oh, it's you. You're on my cup.

• 7:08Brooke Averick?

  That's, that's you. Oh, no, that is me.

• 7:10Connor Wood?

  Uh, no, that's you.

• 7:11Brooke Averick?

  Hi.

• 7:12Connor Wood?

  Hi, Queenette.

• 7:15Brooke Averick?

  Hi, Queen.

• 7:15Connor Wood?

  Double negative.

• 7:16Brooke Averick?

  What?

• 7:17Connor Wood?

  Queenette, Queenette would be a double negative.

• 7:20Brooke Averick?

  What do you mean?

• 7:21Connor Wood?

  Cause a queen is queen, but Queenette. Oh, that should be like a miniature queen.

• 7:27Brooke Averick?

  Why would that be a double negative?

• 7:30Connor Wood?

  Cause Chud and Chudette, Chud is like man, Chudette is woman, Queen is woman.

• 7:35Brooke Averick?

  I don't think you mean double negative.

• 7:37Connor Wood?

  Yeah, it cancels out. It might be a king, a Queenette might be a king.

• 7:42Brooke Averick?

  I'm having a really hard time following.

• 7:44Connor Wood?

  See, this is highbrow.

• 7:46Brooke Averick?

  Really hard time following.

• 7:48Connor Wood?

  This is why the Princess and the Pee was problematic.

• 7:52Connor Wood?

  The Princess was given the opportunity to have ten mattresses and she's complaining about a pee. I've been thinking about this a lot recently.

• 7:58Brooke Averick?

  So me complaining about my opportunity.

• 8:01Connor Wood?

  The Princess was, was resting atop a mountain of probably Casper's purple mattresses. Um, there might've been a mattress firm in there even, and she says, something's off. Something ain't quite right here. Pee. Puh.

• 8:19Brooke Averick?

  I think she's, she was on to something.

• 8:22Connor Wood?

  I could see you resonating with Princess.

• 8:25Brooke Averick?

  I kind of do think I'd be able to feel the pee.

• 8:29Connor Wood?

  No, I, I understand feeling, like, I understand feeling the pee. That being said, I sat on an edamame pee for an entire dinner. I got up, edamame there. Like, that was my nest egg.

• 8:41Brooke Averick?

  And you didn't feel it, just like direct contact?

• 8:44Connor Wood?

  It was a part of my experience in the restaurant. I wouldn't change it for the world.

• 8:47Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, love that shit.

• 8:49Connor Wood?

  In fact, I wish I was sitting on an edamame now.

• 8:52Brooke Averick?

  We could make that happen if it's something you really need.

• 8:56Connor Wood?

  My make a wish.

• 8:57Brooke Averick?

  Wait, was it shelled or de-shelled?

• 9:00Connor Wood?

  It was de-shelled. It was one single.

• 9:01Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, nice.

• 9:02Connor Wood?

  It was one single edamame.

• 9:04Brooke Averick?

  Oh, a legume. Jen, that's Jen a legume.

• 9:08Connor Wood?

  That's low-key.

• 9:08Brooke Averick?

  You're one with the legume.

• 9:10Connor Wood?

  Low-key, that's a.

• 9:11Brooke Averick?

  What did you just say?

• 9:12Connor Wood?

  Low-key.

• 9:13Brooke Averick?

  Low-key?

• 9:15Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 9:15Brooke Averick?

  Is that like genuinely?

• 9:17Connor Wood?

  Well, I have my finger on the pulse of the youth and they're saying low-key.

• 9:20Brooke Averick?

  I've never heard that.

• 9:21Connor Wood?

  Yeah, they've combined. They've married low-key and genuinely and it's low-key now.

• 9:27Brooke Averick?

  I love that shit.

• 9:29Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I adore it too.

• 9:31Brooke Averick?

  I'm being serious. Like low Ken.

• 9:33Connor Wood?

  Yeah, no, Jen, I'm low-key. Jen, I'm low-key obsessed.

• 9:37Brooke Averick?

  Truly. Thank you for teaching me that.

• 9:40Connor Wood?

  Putting you on.

• 9:41Brooke Averick?

  I don't know things like that, though.

• 9:43Connor Wood?

  No, this is, this is sometimes when I feel like we're in like the teacher's, the conference room, like we both have our mugs. I'm like, just so you know, like when the kids are saying low-key.

• 9:53Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 9:54Connor Wood?

  What they mean is low-key genuinely.

• 9:55Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 9:56Connor Wood?

  This is how I feel. And when you keep saying Jen, I'm like, I caught on. I'm like, she's saying, because I thought you meant that's Jen. And I'm thinking, what Jen do we have in common? J E N N.

• 10:05Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 10:06Connor Wood?

  I don't know. I don't know that many Jennifers anymore. I feel like I kind of aged out of being friends with Jennifers.

• 10:10Brooke Averick?

  We might have aged out of Jennifer.

• 10:12Connor Wood?

  I don't know.

• 10:13Brooke Averick?

  Do you know any kids being named Jen?

• 10:15Connor Wood?

  I knew one Jen.

• 10:17Brooke Averick?

  Well, one of my best friends is Jen, but I'm just saying, I don't think there are Jen's being born now. Unless it's G E N.

• 10:25Connor Wood?

  You know.

• 10:27Brooke Averick?

  I don't, but I bet we're about to start thinking about knowing them.

• 10:30Connor Wood?

  Brooke and Connor spikes birth rates in, in, using the name Jen. Um, G E N.

• 10:37Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 10:38Connor Wood?

  No, I, I had several gens in high school and then all of a sudden, they kind of like skipped a couple of chapters compared to me and now they're mama bears.

• 10:47Brooke Averick?

  Well, yeah, and also like I'm just thinking like if I was a teacher and I got like the, my class list and there was a gen, I'd be like, huh, like you don't see that anymore.

• 10:58Connor Wood?

  Oh, what a trad, what a, what a trad name.

• 11:00Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, that's gonna be like, like how like there's like Grandma Barbara, but you don't see Barbara's anymore.

• 11:05Connor Wood?

  Grandma Jen, I, I can't picture Grandma Jen.

• 11:08Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, we're going to, wow, it's interesting how these names cycle, isn't it?

• 11:12Connor Wood?

  It really is.

• 11:21Connor Wood?

  So I texted you early, early in the evening, you were awake and I asked if you wanted to do ins and outs like we did last year. Do you want to do ins and outs?

• 11:30Brooke Averick?

  I do, I do, I do.

• 11:34Connor Wood?

  I do, I bid you.

• 11:36Brooke Averick?

  Um, yeah, I thought of, here's, I thought of ins, I did not think of outs.

• 11:40Connor Wood?

  That's okay. I have a handful and I think that if any of these call to us and we want to have a conversation about why we chose this, how it affects us if we have an oppositional take, we can feel free to do that in this space.

• 11:53Brooke Averick?

  Love that Connor.

• 11:55Connor Wood?

  Yes. And if anyone has opposing dots, we welcome them unless it's negative feedback concerning the two of us.

• 12:00Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, this is a good warm up for me and then we can always go back to the conversation about how careers look different in the U S versus other countries.

• 12:10Connor Wood?

  Yes, we could revisit that.

• 12:12Brooke Averick?

  We could revisit that, something I wasn't ready for earlier. Love to warm up, get back to it.

• 12:17Connor Wood?

  Yeah, and I think a lot of it comes down, mm, okay, let's just do ins and outs and then we'll come back. Cause I just liked that, I just had like, and I was just inundated with thoughts like about dentists and, okay, let's see.

• 12:29Brooke Averick?

  Like if they have dentists in Italy or not?

• 12:31Connor Wood?

  Yeah, like they must have an Italian dentist, you know?

• 12:34Brooke Averick?

  They totally do.

• 12:34Connor Wood?

  The Italians, they go, imagine your dentist is Italian and you have to use your hands all the time. He's like, put your hands down, I have a knife, you know, like. He's in there with his tools.

• 12:45Brooke Averick?

  You think the Italians speak with their hands? I think that like, um, an Italian dentist would be able to control the impulse if, if it rose.

• 12:54Connor Wood?

  I don't know. I don't know. It's part of the culture there. They need to use their hands. It's like, it's like people from New Jersey.

• 13:00Brooke Averick?

  I don't think so. I think they could control it.

• 13:03Connor Wood?

  Let us know in the comments if you're Italian, if you're an Italian dentist, sound off. Okay. And I would love, if you're an Italian dentist, come on over, check out my molar. I need a crown. And I'm not, I'm not talking about the one I dropped. Okay. I did drop it on a plate at a restaurant. They cleared my plate.

• 13:20Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I thought you were talking about like you dropped your crown king.

• 13:23Connor Wood?

  I was, but I did also drop my, my crown of my root canal. I told you this story, right?

• 13:28Brooke Averick?

  Oh God, yeah.

• 13:29Connor Wood?

  Okay. Well, for those of you, those of you don't know, I'll run through it really quick. It fell out at a restaurant. I put it on the plate. I went pee. They cleared my plate while I was in the restroom. They dumped my whole tooth into the dishwasher. They said it's been incinerated. I said, well, that's too damn bad. Okay. I moved forward though. You have to move forward. Do I have a crown? No. Every time I go to the dentist, they gasp. You don't have a crown? No. And look how far I got without all that dead weight. Anyway. Okay.

• 13:58Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 13:59Connor Wood?

  So these are our ins and outs of 2026. So why don't you start?

• 14:06Brooke Averick?

  How about you start?

• 14:08Connor Wood?

  Okay. In. Oh my God.

• 14:11Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 14:13Connor Wood?

  Oh, I, I, I can't explain how this is not, this was not on purpose. Ends. Videos of people leaving the dentist with their mouth numb. Adore.

• 14:24Brooke Averick?

  I love and have always loved videos of like wisdom teeth, people waking up, um, like anesthesia, post anesthesia videos. Like I genuinely think those are funny.

• 14:33Connor Wood?

  I like when, my new thing is like when a parent comes home and their kids are like, and they're like trying to kiss them. They're like, hey, hi. And the kids are like, what is, what's up with like mom's face?

• 14:44Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Bring back like old style, like YouTube videos. Like that used to be the shit that was like on Ellen, you know? And that used to be funny. Yeah. I'm, I'm totally on board with that.

• 14:54Connor Wood?

  Just good, clean, family, numb, mouth.

• 14:59Brooke Averick?

  Good, clean, family fun.

• 15:00Connor Wood?

  Good, clean mouth fun. Bring it back with your family. Good, good, clean mouth fun with your family. Okay.

• 15:08Connor Wood?

  Why don't you hit me with an N?

• 15:11Brooke Averick?

  Um, every movie, book, TV show, and limited series being gay is my N.

• 15:17Connor Wood?

  Oh, okay.

• 15:18Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. I think that heated rivalry kind of started something pretty, pretty big. And I think that the response to that should, should show the major networks that we need a little bit more than a shit ton more. And then all of that doubled. So I want to see as many gay things as possible in the year of 2026. There's a huge market. Show me what you got.

• 15:41Connor Wood?

  Sh, sh, sh, put your money where your mouth is.

• 15:43Brooke Averick?

  Put your money where your mouth is. Give it all to me.

• 15:46Connor Wood?

  Right now, push it out, push it through.

• 15:48Brooke Averick?

  As fast as you possibly can, as quickly as you possibly can, in as much quantity as you possibly can manage.

• 15:56Connor Wood?

  And move the needle across the spectrum to the other side for me really quick.

• 15:59Brooke Averick?

  Thank you.

• 16:02Brooke Averick?

  That's my big one. And obviously like, I don't need to touch on heated rivalry too, too much.

• 16:08Connor Wood?

  Well, do you want to do it? Oh, wait, we can do it right now. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.

• 16:12Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, okay. Let's finish ins and outs.

• 16:14Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 16:15Brooke Averick?

  And then I'll talk about it a little later.

• 16:18Connor Wood?

  Okay. It's, we're not going anywhere.

• 16:20Brooke Averick?

  Hey, we've got all day.

• 16:24Connor Wood?

  We got all damn day. Sit down, make yourself car free and make yourself car free and buck it in. Okay.

  Ends. Letters with no return addresses.

• 17:09Brooke Averick?

  What's the reasoning behind it?

• 17:10Connor Wood?

  I didn't say we had to do, did we have to do reasons?

• 17:12Brooke Averick?

  No, not at all. I'm just wondering if you had one.

• 17:15Connor Wood?

  I, um, would lo, I just think it might be fun to start sending letters with no return addresses.

• 17:20Brooke Averick?

  Like with, do you, will you put your name there or no?

• 17:24Connor Wood?

  Uh, no. So it'll be kind of like a prank call, but a letter.

• 17:29Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I like that.

• 17:31Connor Wood?

  It's kind of like forensic-y.

• 17:32Brooke Averick?

  Mm-hmm.

• 17:33Connor Wood?

  I don't know. I think it could be fun.

• 17:35Brooke Averick?

  I agree.

• 17:36Connor Wood?

  We're not really doing that.

• 17:38Brooke Averick?

  Me and my friends have a secret snow person that we do every year. And the return address has been a really difficult part of that.

• 17:50Connor Wood?

  Well, why do you need to do a return address on like a secret Santa?

• 17:53Brooke Averick?

  I guess when you take it to the post office to send it out. Sorry. Yes, no person. Thank you.

• 17:58Connor Wood?

  You don't have to have a return address.

• 18:00Brooke Averick?

  At the post office, you have to.

• 18:01Connor Wood?

  No, because people from like Depop don't put a return address on it. People get killed.

• 18:06Brooke Averick?

  Okay, well, I got, they were, they told me I had to.

• 18:10Connor Wood?

  You went to, you went to, you went to the woke post office.

• 18:14Brooke Averick?

  Okay, well, that's just, I'm just telling you my experience. It was a while ago. Cause I stopped going to the post office.

• 18:22Connor Wood?

  I'm starting a new post office that doesn't require return. Well, actually, like, I think I might have just opened up a bucket of worms that might be like, hang on, I'm taking, I'm taking letters with no return addresses out of my hands, actually. I don't, I see this going down a wrong.

• 18:35Brooke Averick?

  I think just like if it gets lost in the mail, they have to know where to send it back to.

• 18:38Connor Wood?

  No, I'm gonna, yeah, I'm gonna head down to the woke post office, actually. I'm on your side again.

• 18:43Brooke Averick?

  No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying I don't think there should have to be a return address because it kind of ruins Secret Santa. So, sorry, snowma- person.

• 18:51Connor Wood?

  Perfect, perfect snow person. Okay, well, that was kind of a wash on my end. Go ahead.

• 18:56Brooke Averick?

  No, it wasn't at all.

• 18:57Connor Wood?

  I'm in it in like a lighthearted like murder mystery party type thing, but I guess when you start involving like the United States Postal Service and like a no return address situation, like it does start getting, I mean, if everyone was able to carry themselves with a little bit of fun and whimsy, like this wouldn't be an issue, but unfortunately, like not, not everybody has that in their heart.

• 19:16Brooke Averick?

  And the post office doesn't really have it, or the US Postal System doesn't really have it in their heart.

• 19:21Connor Wood?

  They don't, um.

• 19:23Brooke Averick?

  If we could trust them with delivering our letters and packages to the right venue.

• 19:29Connor Wood?

  Right.

• 19:30Brooke Averick?

  This could work. Unfortunately, I don't want to shit, hey, listen, I didn't come here to shit on the US Postal Service.

• 19:37Connor Wood?

  Nobody did. Nobody did.

• 19:39Brooke Averick?

  But sometimes things get lost.

• 19:42Connor Wood?

  And translation, sure. Okay, go ahead.

• 19:46Brooke Averick?

  Um, stickers.

• 19:48Connor Wood?

  Oh, yeah.

• 19:48Brooke Averick?

  I love stickers. Izzy, I think I used probably 90% of the stickers from the sticker book you got me. That thing is the best thing in the entire world. It's massive. There's the most gorgeous stickers. I have been putting them, um, this will come, uh, in another one of my ends later, but I have an entire journal ecosystem that I'll, I'll tell you guys about, but I have been putting stickers on all of my journals. Um, I've been having so much fun with it. It's so fun. And I want to bring that really back into the zeitgeist and the aesthetic of just putting stickers on everything.

• 20:25Connor Wood?

  You know what? I was, I was talking to somebody about this recently. It was such a huge deal in college to put stickers on your laptop.

• 20:33Connor Wood?

  Um, and it would, it would almost be like your interests. Like I, I had like-

• 20:40Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, Connor, 100%. And I want, I'm talking about something different.

• 20:44Connor Wood?

  Right now you are?

• 20:45Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, like I know, I totally know what you're saying and my laptop is kind of like that now. You would put like a college sticker on it or like stickers that you like came across naturally in life.

• 20:54Connor Wood?

  So that someone at a, someone at a coffee shop, for instance, if they catch an eye, they go, I know what this person's about.

• 21:00Brooke Averick?

  Yes. I'm talking about like sticker books like you're a kid again. Like check out my Hobonichi.

• 21:06Connor Wood?

  Putting the stickers, are you just, are you?

• 21:07Brooke Averick?

  Look at my Hobonichi right now. I'm talking about this type of shit.

• 21:11Brooke Averick?

  Like I'm not talking about like Boston University.

• 21:14Connor Wood?

  Oh, you're almost talking, you're almost talking like-

• 21:16Brooke Averick?

  I'm, I'm a kid with my sticker book decorating.

• 21:19Connor Wood?

  You know what this feels like?

• 21:20Brooke Averick?

  Decorative stickers.

• 21:21Connor Wood?

  You know what this feels like? And you're on the precipice of something? I feel like this is almost like a Tumblr-esque, uh, Renaissance.

• 21:29Brooke Averick?

  I think it takes the energy that we, when we all wanted Patrick tattoos. And it, it makes it, um, a less permanent- And more manageable way.

• 21:42Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 21:42Brooke Averick?

  Of putting them on objects instead of your body. You know, it kind of satiates that impulse without permanently inking your,

• 21:51Brooke Averick?

  your frame. Bridge.

• 21:53Connor Wood?

  Aligned.

• 21:54Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 21:54Connor Wood?

  Via ray.

• 21:56Brooke Averick?

  So I love stickers.

• 21:58Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 21:58Brooke Averick?

  I'm gonna put them on everything. I'm gonna put them on my water bottle when I get home.

• 22:02Connor Wood?

  I wish I owned a home so I could do like a sticker door again.

• 22:07Brooke Averick?

  Hmm. What home did you own before that you did a sticker door?

• 22:11Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I guess just like my college house that I was in for three years and then like my parents' house that I was in the rest. Cause right now I can't really put stickers on much.

• 22:21Brooke Averick?

  Right.

• 22:23Brooke Averick?

  You could put tape down and then put stickers on and then I'll take the tape off.

• 22:26Connor Wood?

  You know what? I'm not gonna do that.

• 22:27Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I didn't think you were, but I was just trying to be helpful.

• 22:31Connor Wood?

  I was just trying to be a good person. I guess I could put them, well, no, I don't know. Anyways. Wow, I really don't like mine actually. Now that yours are so like close to home.

• 22:41Brooke Averick?

  Well, these are, it's also a fine line between things that are in and things I just like. Like mine so far has just been gay and stickers, which like, is that something that's in or are those my interests?

• 22:53Connor Wood?

  I think gay is in. Um, stickers, I think maybe you started, I'm sure there's a community of sticker heads that like love that idea.

• 23:00Brooke Averick?

  There are.

• 23:02Connor Wood?

  Um, yeah, my next one.

• 23:06Connor Wood?

  Steam.

• 23:09Connor Wood?

  And fog.

• 23:12Connor Wood?

  So, Steam and Fog, I see.

• 23:13Brooke Averick?

  Tell us a little bit more about that.

• 23:16Connor Wood?

  I just feel like Steam really hasn't had the moment that I think it deserves, that everything else has kind of gotten. And across the board, I'm talking, not even in the wellness space, I think like.

• 23:28Brooke Averick?

  Are you talking about the wellness related Steam?

• 23:30Connor Wood?

  I, I'm talking about everything.

• 23:32Brooke Averick?

  Talk about all Steam right now?

• 23:34Connor Wood?

  I'm, I'm, I'm not really seeing as much foggy as I, as I used to. I don't know. I, I, I used to see like a lot of fog, I feel like day to day. I feel like I'm lacking fog in my life personally. I feel like we could all benefit from a little bit of fog. Steam, I see Steam coming out of my dishwasher every time I open it. I go, why don't we harness the power of this?

• 23:53Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, you love that dishwasher steam.

• 23:54Connor Wood?

  I do. I love to put my face right in it when I open that thing. So I do actually use, I utilize every ounce of steam that comes out of my house.

• 24:04Connor Wood?

  Um, I don't know. I would like to see more steam in, in day to day. I don't know. Steam and fog.

• 24:09Brooke Averick?

  I can get on board with steam. However, I can't imagine like walking outside on a foggy day and being like, yay.

• 24:19Connor Wood?

  Well, you need to see the fog as an opportunity

• 24:25Connor Wood?

  to change to listen to the neighborhood or whoever.

• 24:27Brooke Averick?

  But you can't even see the neighborhood. Oh, you mean like kind of, uh, when one sense is dulled, the other opens. So you use your listening ears instead of your looking eyes? Cause you can't see.

• 24:39Connor Wood?

  I love where your head went. I was talking about like a playlist. That's kind of like foggy. Like Foster the People or something.

• 24:46Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 24:48Connor Wood?

  I'll move on from that because I don't think it really landed too much.

• 24:51Brooke Averick?

  No worries. I, I'm on board with you with steam.

• 24:54Connor Wood?

  Steam. So fog is where I lost you. Okay. I get it. So maybe we focus on steam in 2026 and, and less on fog. I'm okay with that.

• 25:01Brooke Averick?

  Okay. Meet me in the middle.

• 25:03Connor Wood?

  Fog is, I think fog is, no, fog is not steam. Steam can be fog though.

• 25:08Brooke Averick?

  I mean, I guess fog is the steam of the weather.

• 25:14Connor Wood?

  Fog is a steam of nature, but, but fog is not hot.

• 25:17Brooke Averick?

  Form of steam. Steam fog. Is, uh, when cold air passes over warm water, causing the water's vapor. I like when that happens. I like steam fog.

• 25:28Connor Wood?

  That can be nice.

• 25:29Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Steam fog can be nice.

• 25:30Connor Wood?

  Steam fog can be nice. Okay. Maybe, maybe more steam fog and

• 25:36Connor Wood?

  is steam fog. Yes, fog can be a steam too.

• 25:38Brooke Averick?

  Yep.

• 25:39Connor Wood?

  Okay. I, we are all seeing eye to eye here on the internet, which is crazy.

• 25:44Brooke Averick?

  And seven years ago, someone on Reddit was wondering if there's a major difference between steam and fog.

• 25:50Brooke Averick?

  Hi, where were you seven years ago?

• 25:54Connor Wood?

  All right. Hit me with one.

• 25:56Brooke Averick?

  Um, journaling.

• 25:58Connor Wood?

  Okay, so, yeah, you're loving journaling.

• 26:02Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I have four journals right now. I have four active journals right now. It's called the journal ecosystem.

• 26:10Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 26:11Brooke Averick?

  And I think that this could really help a lot of people not only be organized, but also just kind of process thoughts in a healthy way. And just shit like that. Um, and it's also just a fun hobby and it connects back to the stickers of everything. You can put stickers on your journals too. And it's a great outlet. Um, I've got my Hobonichi planner right here, which I use for my daily tasks.

• 26:42Connor Wood?

  I can't believe you even lost that.

• 26:44Brooke Averick?

  What?

• 26:45Connor Wood?

  Have you lost it yet?

• 26:47Brooke Averick?

  My hobo?

• 26:48Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 26:49Brooke Averick?

  Not at all. I'm not gonna lose this. Look at all the stickers I have inside as well. And I told you this, but I have all my B and C notes in my Hobonichi as well, next to my to do list.

• 26:58Connor Wood?

  That's nice.

• 26:58Brooke Averick?

  So I'll get there, uh, I'll get there later. I have manifestations I want to run by you.

• 27:03Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 27:03Brooke Averick?

  As well, just, I just noticed that in my Hobonichi. So I have this Hobonichi for my daily tasks. I have a dear diary type of diary, which my, uh, nearest resolution is to fill one up.

• 27:15Connor Wood?

  Cool.

• 27:16Brooke Averick?

  I have my work notebook, like writing and stuff.

• 27:18Connor Wood?

  Nice. Yeah.

• 27:20Brooke Averick?

  And then I have my five year journal, which is really interesting, which is there, you what? You hate that?

• 27:26Connor Wood?

  I hate that.

• 27:27Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I figured you would.

• 27:28Connor Wood?

  For me, I hate that.

• 27:29Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, but it's like, uh, it's for, uh, 2026 through 2030. And so like, uh, what's today? January 7th has one page with five different slots and each year you fill out a different slot. So you can kind of see like what you're doing on each day as five years pass or whatever.

• 27:48Connor Wood?

  Oh, that's kind of nice.

• 27:49Brooke Averick?

  It is cool. Like right now, there's nothing in it, but at the end of five years, it will be so full and pretty.

• 27:55Connor Wood?

  My, mine would have vomit on every page. Cause I'd be like, another day, another day pass, bleh. Yeah. It would throw up on every page.

• 28:02Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 28:03Connor Wood?

  Especially after, after I got like six months in and I'm like, you know, you're, I don't know.

• 28:08Brooke Averick?

  But it's also cool. Cause like-

• 28:09Connor Wood?

  I have such a-

• 28:11Brooke Averick?

  Think about like I could have been like if I started this in 2024.

• 28:15Connor Wood?

  Right.

• 28:16Brooke Averick?

  I could have been like I started writing a book today. Like I wonder if that will go anywhere. And then like two years later, the entry on that day will be like, I, my book is being published today.

• 28:25Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 28:25Brooke Averick?

  Or something like that's really cool to see that.

• 28:27Connor Wood?

  The next best time to start is now.

• 28:29Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, and shit like that. So that's my next in.

• 28:35Connor Wood?

  Okay, well, my next in is toilet paper pulling out from the bottom instead of over the top.

• 28:41Brooke Averick?

  See, I'm not someone who ever notices that type of stuff. I'm the least observant person in the world, I think.

• 28:47Connor Wood?

  As someone with OCD, you not noticing the toilet paper over the top, under the bottom thing is very bizarre to me.

• 28:53Brooke Averick?

  I don't have that kind of OCD at all.

• 28:55Connor Wood?

  Well, mine is like if, if I, if it's not normal, which is over the top to me, then like my whole day is out of whack. Like I'm gonna think about it for like the next, if something bad happens, I'm like, it's because of the toilet paper.

• 29:08Brooke Averick?

  Oh, my OCD is like I, um, had a thought about like my parents dying and they'll be dead by the end of the hour.

• 29:18Connor Wood?

  I don't like that. I like my toilet paper thing better.

• 29:20Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I would prefer that too.

• 29:22Connor Wood?

  Um, but I also just, oh my gosh, I have the funniest thing to tell you. I also just saw something that said, I'm getting a lot of like the passage of time scary TikToks reels recently on my, on my FY.

• 29:34Brooke Averick?

  Have you been getting that sound that's like, uh huh, do you know what I'm talking about? Izzy, you know what I'm talking about? What is it? It's like, like scary death.

• 29:47Connor Wood?

  Is it the, I'm here or like?

• 29:49Brooke Averick?

  No.

• 29:50Connor Wood?

  Mother, I'm home.

• 29:51Brooke Averick?

  No, it's like.

• 29:52Connor Wood?

  Robot?

• 29:54Brooke Averick?

  It's like worse.

• 29:56Connor Wood?

  Izzy, what is it?

• 29:58Brooke Averick?

  I can like do it in my head. Yeah, it's in my head. It's not translating out my vocal cords.

• 30:03Connor Wood?

  Ooh, if it comes across your desk, which it probably will after this, let's send it over my way.

• 30:06Brooke Averick?

  Really spooky.

• 30:08Connor Wood?

  Um, but I, I've been getting, I mean, mine's, mine aren't scary. It's just like, here's how to, someone said like, if you change it's, life like passes by really fast because we're so used to like routine. And if you switch up little things, well, your brain, like when you do the same thing every day, doesn't need to think anything. So it doesn't need to store new memories. So like your days are passing faster, but when you change your route to work or this is like when I said, I put my toilet paper under, so it took me a little bit longer to use it. And then because it took me a little bit longer, I missed a phone call from someone. And because I missed that phone call, I had to call them back on my walk. And because I was on the phone on my walk, I didn't stop and talk to like one of my friends.

• 30:53Connor Wood?

  Cause I didn't stop to that, stop and talk to that person. They didn't tell me not to go that way because the sidewalks closed. Because I missed the sidewalk closed, I went to the next thing and I found a hundred dollar bill on the ground and then I used that hundred dollar bill to, um, I gave it to a homeless person. That homeless person?

• 31:11Brooke Averick?

  Your cancer?

• 31:13Connor Wood?

  Bill Gates.

• 31:14Brooke Averick?

  Talking about the butterfly effect, huh?

• 31:16Connor Wood?

  There wouldn't have been, yeah, and it's, but because you change small things, your, your brain is storing new memories and stuff. And so your, your time pass is slower. I don't know if there's, now I said it out loud, I think that's pretty dumb, but I think that there might be, it might hold some water. I don't know.

• 31:33Brooke Averick?

  It might hold some water.

• 31:35Connor Wood?

  I guess we'll never know. Okay, hit me with one.

• 31:38Brooke Averick?

  Air drying your hair.

• 31:40Connor Wood?

  I do that every day.

• 31:41Brooke Averick?

  Well, I'm, I guess I'm talking more about those of us with like long hair. I think that we, I think most people.

• 31:50Connor Wood?

  Like blow dry it?

• 31:52Brooke Averick?

  I think most people look, I'm trying to think if this is true or not. I think most people look better with air dried hair. I keep seeing these girls on Tik Tok that are like, I'm trying to air dry my hair. It looks so fucking bad. And I'm like, that looks awesome. Like if you didn't say anything, I'd have no idea that you air dried that. I think we're just so used to like doing our hair that we don't like, we think our natural hair looks bad, but it actually is really pretty in the way that our hair is meant to, to fall. So I air dried last night and that's just what I'm trying to.

• 32:22Connor Wood?

  Oh, it looks great.

• 32:23Brooke Averick?

  What?

• 32:24Connor Wood?

  It looks great. You must be using the OGX Argon Oral.

• 32:26Brooke Averick?

  I must be. Um, but yeah, I think air drying and embracing the beauty of our natural hair and just putting less heat on it in general could be really pretty for 2026. And that way, when you do do a blowout, it's like an event, not just, and it becomes special again.

• 32:45Connor Wood?

  Okay, so that leads me to my next.

• 32:49Brooke Averick?

  I did blow out my bangs. I want to be honest about that. If I didn't, that would be a problem.

• 32:54Connor Wood?

  That's nice of you to be honest.

• 32:55Brooke Averick?

  Not talking about people with bangs right now. Yeah.

• 32:58Connor Wood?

  Nice of you to be honest about that. Uh, that leads me to my next end. Using, you really let yourself go. In a positive connotation. You really let yourself go.

• 33:11Brooke Averick?

  Like loosen up?

• 33:12Connor Wood?

  Yeah, you let your hair down. You air dried that shit?

• 33:15Brooke Averick?

  Did you air dry today?

• 33:17Connor Wood?

  Baby?

• 33:18Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I like that.

• 33:19Connor Wood?

  Well, you really let yourself go last weekend. Woo!

• 33:23Brooke Averick?

  I like that.

• 33:24Connor Wood?

  Isn't that fun? You really let yourself go.

• 33:26Brooke Averick?

  I like that.

• 33:27Connor Wood?

  Ooh. Yeah. So that's my, that's one. You got one?

• 33:33Brooke Averick?

  I have my last one. It's just board games.

• 33:37Connor Wood?

  Okay, I like board games. That's a good one. Except-

• 33:40Brooke Averick?

  Categories.

• 33:42Connor Wood?

  My thing with board games is like, I know it's just a game, but the thing is with me, there's not really anything that's just a game. Um, I wanna win, you know, so that's why I had to stop playing putt putt. Cause it stopped being fun for me and it started to be an issue about friendships and my family. Just like the way I would act out.

• 34:00Brooke Averick?

  I get it.

• 34:01Connor Wood?

  I broke a club on my knee.

• 34:03Brooke Averick?

  I get it. I just think board games are a really good way to engage with people and not be on your phone.

• 34:10Connor Wood?

  Sure. Um, I agree.

• 34:13Brooke Averick?

  Have more game nights.

• 34:15Connor Wood?

  Yeah, we just had some game nights last week. It was really fun.

• 34:17Brooke Averick?

  What did you play?

• 34:19Connor Wood?

  The Airbnb we were staying at had this game called Labopoly.

• 34:23Brooke Averick?

  Labopoly?

• 34:25Connor Wood?

  It was lab themed monopoly, like the dog.

• 34:28Brooke Averick?

  Like Labopoly?

• 34:30Connor Wood?

  Labopoly, yeah, that's what-

• 34:31Brooke Averick?

  Oh, sorry. I thought you said leb.

• 34:33Connor Wood?

  No, leb.

• 34:34Brooke Averick?

  Oh, Labopoly?

• 34:36Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 34:38Brooke Averick?

  Nice.

• 34:39Connor Wood?

  Yeah, it was the exact same thing. It was just kind of dog themed.

• 34:42Brooke Averick?

  You know, I don't know how to play Monopoly.

• 34:44Connor Wood?

  It's very straightforward.

• 34:46Brooke Averick?

  It's just like anytime it's been presented to me, I'm just like nah.

• 34:49Connor Wood?

  It's like not even something that can necessarily be presented to you. You just kind of play it and it's- Now, you do need to be kind of strategic. Sure, you need to be strategic with your places and your people. But you don't need to really think too hard about it. It's a game of strategy and patience.

• 35:06Brooke Averick?

  Did you ever play Life on the computer?

• 35:09Connor Wood?

  Yes!

• 35:09Brooke Averick?

  On the computer, I'm asking.

• 35:11Connor Wood?

  Oh, yeah. I played it on the computer. Sure. I also played Family Feud on the computer pretty religiously. I paid for it.

• 35:16Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I paid for Life and snood.

• 35:20Connor Wood?

  I didn't, I've never heard of snood.

• 35:21Brooke Averick?

  Oh, your ass would have loved snood.

• 35:24Connor Wood?

  My ass could still love snood. I have time. I'm young and I'm turnt.

• 35:27Brooke Averick?

  Yep, you are very young.

• 35:29Connor Wood?

• 36:01Connor Wood?

  Okay, good move. I have my last in and then I can move to my outs.

• 36:05Brooke Averick?

  Okay, I'm done.

• 36:07Connor Wood?

  Okay, I also used to play Aqua Energizer on mini clips.

• 36:10Brooke Averick?

  I don't know Aqua Energizer.

• 36:11Connor Wood?

  It's the best game ever.

• 36:14Connor Wood?

  Mini clips, man.

• 36:15Brooke Averick?

  Bug on a wire.

• 36:18Connor Wood?

  Yep. Okay, sleeping in a robe.

• 36:23Connor Wood?

  It has been such a life changer for me. I get, I shower, I'm clean. I put my robe on. It's a big, thick, warm robe. I have my windows open right now because it's freezing out. And I sleep in this big, thick, warm robe and then I just put one layer of blanket over me. And anytime I have to pee in the night, I'm not putting on, I'm not freezing shivering, I wrap my robe up.

• 36:45Brooke Averick?

  Don't you get a draft coming up?

• 36:47Connor Wood?

  Into my under?

• 36:48Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 36:49Connor Wood?

  Carriage? No, it's long. It's like past my knees.

• 36:52Brooke Averick?

  But still, like, there's an open bottom. You know, you're not cinched at the bottom.

• 36:57Connor Wood?

  No, it's not cinched. It's a little bit of Ebnernezer.

• 36:59Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 37:00Connor Wood?

  But I'm not wearing pants.

• 37:01Brooke Averick?

  You're in, it's essentially a nightgown.

• 37:03Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 37:04Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. I get tangled up in my robe when I nap in it.

• 37:08Connor Wood?

  But it's, it's, it's eliminated the morning part where I'm like, oh, I don't want to.

• 37:13Connor Wood?

  It's eliminated the morning part where I don't want to get out of bed because I'm cold because I'm already warm and snug. I can be up and mobile and vertical, but as well snug as well.

• 37:22Brooke Averick?

  Okay, I love that.

• 37:25Connor Wood?

  Yeah, so that's my last in.

• 37:28Brooke Averick?

  Love that.

• 37:29Connor Wood?

  I have my outs as well.

• 37:31Brooke Averick?

  Tell me your outs.

• 37:33Connor Wood?

  There's a lot more outs than there were ins.

• 37:35Brooke Averick?

  Do you want to kind of more rapid fire them?

• 37:37Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I can rapid fire them. If you have something to say, hit me.

• 37:40Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 37:40Connor Wood?

  Uh, number one, my out is losing my keys inside my apartment. I would like to eliminate that.

• 37:45Brooke Averick?

  It would be so easy to just like have a spot for keys, both for you and I, but it's like too hard.

• 37:53Connor Wood?

  Really easy if everybody just put everything onto my phone. My phone is always in my hand. Put my ID on my phone, put my key on my phone.

• 38:01Brooke Averick?

  It is kind of shocking. We don't have like key cards like hotels for our homes.

• 38:06Connor Wood?

  I think some people do when they live in like nice buildings. I've known some people that like could tap their phone, but I live in this place with a lot of character.

• 38:17Connor Wood?

  And crown molding.

• 38:18Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 38:19Connor Wood?

  And normal molding.

• 38:20Brooke Averick?

  I like crown molding.

• 38:22Connor Wood?

  Um, okay. Next one. Taking headphones on a walk. I think I'm gonna start retiring this because I don't even have anything playing. I just don't want anyone to chat with me and I want to like.

• 38:32Brooke Averick?

  You don't have anything playing on a, sorry, I've got a shiver. You don't have anything playing on a walk?

• 38:37Connor Wood?

  Almost never.

• 38:38Brooke Averick?

  Whoa.

• 38:39Connor Wood?

  Because I want to hear other people talking.

• 38:41Brooke Averick?

  I've actually been, um, this is a lie, what I was just about to say, so I'm gonna restart. I've been wanting to go on a walk with no headphones to, to think of ideas for, for writing. I haven't yet, but that would be a reason that I go on a, on a headphoneless walk and the only reason.

• 39:01Connor Wood?

  Well, a good way to start is to put something in, your headphones in, but don't listen to any.

• 39:05Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, that's like, yeah, that's nice.

• 39:07Connor Wood?

  Headphones on a walk with nothing playing is like bringing your dead laptop to a coffee shop just to make people think that you're working on something, even though you just want to go to a coffee shop by yourself.

• 39:14Brooke Averick?

  Um, I went to four coffee shops on Monday and every single one had their outlets blocked off and I had a dead laptop and I needed to use it.

• 39:22Connor Wood?

  They need turnover for their restaurant.

• 39:25Brooke Averick?

  What the hell is the point of a coffee shop if I can't use it to work on my laptop that needs to be plugged in at all times or will die?

• 39:32Connor Wood?

  Everyone in West Hollywood is a writer, so they're taking up so much real estate in all these coffee shops. No one's able to sit down and buy coffee.

• 39:37Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I mean, I am beyond pissed.

• 39:40Connor Wood?

  You need to open up a cyber cafe then.

• 39:42Brooke Averick?

  I finally found one after research, spending some of my good, hard-earned time researching cafes with outlets. Finally found one. It took a lot of researching.

• 39:55Connor Wood?

  Good for you for.

• 39:56Brooke Averick?

  And guess who I saw there yesterday when I went to my outlet cafe?

• 40:02Connor Wood?

  Who?

• 40:03Brooke Averick?

  Kurt from Glee.

• 40:05Connor Wood?

  Congrats.

• 40:06Brooke Averick?

  Thank you.

• 40:06Connor Wood?

  Congrats grads.

• 40:09Brooke Averick?

  No, it all worked out.

• 40:11Connor Wood?

  Good. I'm happy to hear.

• 40:13Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, in the end.

• 40:15Connor Wood?

  Stripes on your pants, plug in the outlet.

• 40:19Connor Wood?

  Um, okay, next out, every action having an equal and opposite reaction.

• 40:26Connor Wood?

  Sure. Next out, stairs.

• 40:29Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I've always agreed with that.

• 40:32Connor Wood?

  Uh, a big one for me, out 2026, tied to go pins. They stink and they don't even work.

• 40:41Brooke Averick?

  They don't work, but I would like one that works.

• 40:44Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I would like one that works too.

• 40:46Brooke Averick?

  And they don't stink.

• 40:47Connor Wood?

  Brooke, give it a sniff the next time. Like I can smell it the whole rest of the day after I put it on my clothes. They don't stink? Are you being serious?

• 40:54Brooke Averick?

  Like bad?

• 40:55Connor Wood?

  They smell like something that I don't love.

• 40:57Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, they smell like tide.

• 40:59Connor Wood?

  Pie?

• 41:00Brooke Averick?

  Tide.

• 41:02Connor Wood?

  No, they don't smell like tide.

• 41:05Connor Wood?

  They smell like flesh and chlorine.

• 41:06Brooke Averick?

  They don't smell like flesh.

• 41:08Connor Wood?

  I want you to give it a good, good, hard sniff next time you put it on your jeans.

• 41:12Brooke Averick?

  What does flesh smell like? Like rotting flesh?

• 41:15Connor Wood?

  I don't know. I didn't. Give it a, give it a sniff.

• 41:18Brooke Averick?

  I don't have a tie to go pen.

• 41:20Connor Wood?

  Scratch and sniff. I bet you do in your car. Um, next one.

• 41:27Connor Wood?

  Um, public loitering. I'd like to see more of that.

• 41:32Brooke Averick?

  More?

• 41:33Connor Wood?

  Next one. What?

• 41:34Brooke Averick?

  You want to see more public loitering?

• 41:36Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I love it.

• 41:39Connor Wood?

  I think we're always on the go too much. Slow down, stop and stand somewhere. Chat.

• 41:44Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 41:45Connor Wood?

  Um, next one. Salt and straw, specifically their flavors.

• 41:50Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, you've been saying this for a bit now.

• 41:52Connor Wood?

  Yeah, go to hell.

• 41:53Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 41:53Connor Wood?

  I, the reason it came back up is because there was a line wrapping around the block for Salt and Straw. The other day I was like, what are you guys getting? What are you guys getting their, their table lightbulb flavor?

• 42:05Brooke Averick?

  They, they do have a great classic vanilla and they have great rainbow sprinkles, unlike any rainbow sprinkles you've ever had before.

• 42:13Connor Wood?

  Just like the only thing that's, the, the, the only people that are doing it right are like the OGs, like the Culvers and the Baskin Robbins and the, the, the Coldstones, like they have all of those like cookies and cream. Done. Cookie dough, done. Birthday cake, done. Vanilla, done. Ice cream, uh, ice cream. Chocolate, done. Instead of like honey, honey crisp, apple, summer vibes playlist, 2020 12.

• 42:38Brooke Averick?

  I hear you.

• 42:38Connor Wood?

  Sprinkles. It's like, shut the heck up.

• 42:40Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 42:40Connor Wood?

  Okay. Next one, and this is my last one. Fly Swatters.

• 42:45Brooke Averick?

  Out?

• 42:46Connor Wood?

  Out.

• 42:47Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Yeah, that's.

• 42:48Connor Wood?

  They look too much like.

• 42:49Brooke Averick?

  What did, what are they doing besides existing?

• 42:52Connor Wood?

  They look too much like spatulas to me and they're always hanging somewhere very, in someone's kitchen and it's like, that shouldn't be here. That, I think that ever, I don't know. I know there's no answer to that and I'm not, I'm not acting like I have an answer. I just think they're gross. And they give me bad vibes.

• 43:07Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I was thinking you didn't want like to kill the flies. Are you fine with another device to kill the flies?

• 43:13Connor Wood?

  Yeah, a gun. Um, okay. So I have to tell you this thing, cause this has been the funniest thing. It's like, did you see that girl that was like worried about the passage of time? So she was gonna collect a button for every day of the, of the new year?

• 43:31Connor Wood?

  Is you did or?

• 43:32Brooke Averick?

  No, I mean, I've seen a lot of people who have buttons for every day of the year in a jar, but I didn't know it was one specific girl.

• 43:39Connor Wood?

  So this girl, basically, she posted on some, some thread that I'm like, or this, this video that I'm like on, or that I'm like, that's coming across my desk about like the passage of time, how scary it is. And she goes, I'm getting, her name's Tamara. I'm getting 365 buttons, one for each day, because I want to do more stuff and I'm scared of time. So I want, I want to be more conscious of it. And like it got a lot of likes and then the next person said,

• 44:08Connor Wood?

  What is 365 buttons? And she said, one for every day. And someone said, yes, queen, but what do you mean buttons? Like to where? And she said, just to have, to see how quick days pass and remind myself that time passes. And just to have fun and do a lot of stuff. And someone said, what are you doing with the buttons every day? Is what they're asking. Are you putting them in a jar? Are you wearing them? And she said, she said, hey, so it actually only has to make sense for me to do it. And I don't feel like explaining it to anyone else. Hang on, it keeps, it's just like a long thread. So then she goes, LMAO, people are just asking you what you plan on doing,

• 44:49Connor Wood?

  like literally and physically with the buttons and prob just trying to get ideas to help themselves. And she said, I don't know, and I don't have to know. Okay. I just want to carry on a button every day. And then someone said, this is the funniest thing I've ever seen. And then she said, someone said, she basically said, girl, IDK, don't ask me. And Tamara responds, yup. And then someone said, so you just have a button in your pocket? You walk around every day with it? And she said, no more contacting, please. Thanks, appreciate.

• 45:21Brooke Averick?

  Appreciate.

• 45:23Connor Wood?

  And then she said, babe, you literally commented the idea. You can explain. And she said, no, heart. Hang on, we're gonna keep going. And then she said, okay, and also I barely even know what the plan is. I went to Michael's just now and I didn't have enough money to buy the buttons. And I'll find another place to get buttons. Also, I'm sorry if my tone was rude. I know it's hard to have a tone over text. I tried to keep it nice and respectful.

• 45:43Brooke Averick?

  Tried to keep it nice and respectful. Nope, do not contact me. Okay.

• 45:48Connor Wood?

  Someone said, please just explain. She goes, they remind me how quick time passes and to have fun and do more. And she said, girl, I'm sorry for this whole comment section. Keep us updated on the buttons. And she goes, okay, lol. That's kind of it.

• 46:00Brooke Averick?

  Has she kept updated?

• 46:02Connor Wood?

  I hope she does.

• 46:03Brooke Averick?

  Do you have her?

• 46:04Connor Wood?

  No, it kept going. Holy shit. Do you mean just having a jar so you can see the time in the form of button? Can you, can you tell how much time you have this year? And she said, yes.

• 46:14Brooke Averick?

  I think, I think that's all we needed.

• 46:17Connor Wood?

  Yeah. No, someone said, wait, how can I do this if I don't like buttons?

• 46:21Brooke Averick?

  That's good.

• 46:23Connor Wood?

  All right, that's it.

• 46:24Brooke Averick?

  It's not a bad idea. It didn't need to.

• 46:27Connor Wood?

  Go on that long?

• 46:28Brooke Averick?

  To go to that. But it's not a bad idea.

• 46:33Connor Wood?

  Hey.

• 46:33Brooke Averick?

  Not to bring it back to my Hobonichi, but...

• 46:35Connor Wood?

  Hey, so it actually only has to make sense for me to do it.

• 46:37Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 46:37Connor Wood?

  And I don't feel like explaining it to anyone else.

• 46:40Brooke Averick?

  It's like my day tracker in the back of my Hobonichi.

• 46:43Connor Wood?

  Yeah, it totally is.

• 46:44Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 46:44Connor Wood?

  Except it's a jar of buttons.

• 46:45Brooke Averick?

  Except it's a jar of buttons.

• 46:47Connor Wood?

  Buttons.

• 46:48Brooke Averick?

  Sorry. You know that sometimes I do.

• 46:50Connor Wood?

  No, it's actually totally good. Um, so... We haven't talked to each other. That was our ins and outs. You had manifestations? You wanted to do manifestations?

• 46:58Brooke Averick?

  Oh, yeah.

• 46:58Connor Wood?

  Or do you have predictions?

• 46:59Brooke Averick?

  I want to put them in our... I don't have any predictions.

• 47:02Connor Wood?

  Oh, so we can't read them?

• 47:02Brooke Averick?

  I'm bad at that.

• 47:03Connor Wood?

  Then let's do it in, let's do it in the bonus, so that we can, we have time.

• 47:08Brooke Averick?

  Well, can I just manifest them out loud in the main, and then I can put them in the...

• 47:11Connor Wood?

  100%.

• 47:12Brooke Averick?

  Okay. I only have two. I only have two.

• 47:16Brooke Averick?

  My first manifestation is that I want Ally Hazelwood, who is my favorite romance author, to do, um, an MLM romance, so gay.

• 47:30Connor Wood?

  What's that? Oh.

• 47:31Brooke Averick?

  So I'm wanting that from her. And I think that...

• 47:33Connor Wood?

  I thought that was multi-level marketing.

• 47:35Brooke Averick?

  That was the time.

• 47:36Connor Wood?

  Type situation. I was like, you wanted to start an MLM?

• 47:38Brooke Averick?

  Uh, man love, is it man love, loves man, or man-loving man?

• 47:45Brooke Averick?

  I think it's man-loving man.

• 47:47Speaker 05

  Yeah, men-loving man.

• 47:48Brooke Averick?

  Men-loving men. Yeah. So I'm, uh, manifesting an Ally Hazelwood MLM.

• 47:54Connor Wood?

  I bet that's in the works, based on how the noodles...

• 47:57Brooke Averick?

  Fingers crossed.

• 47:59Connor Wood?

  Based on how the noodles crumbling.

• 48:00Brooke Averick?

  That would... That would be everything to a girl like me.

• 48:07Connor Wood?

  That would be seriously epic.

• 48:09Brooke Averick?

  That would eat.

• 48:12Brooke Averick?

  And then my second manifestation is just Joe Currie.

• 48:15Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 48:16Brooke Averick?

  And...

• 48:19Brooke Averick?

  That's it.

• 48:20Connor Wood?

  That's, those are great.

• 48:21Brooke Averick?

  Thank you. I, I just, every time I see him, I'm like, that is someone who I just feel like we could be friends with. He just seems so normal.

• 48:32Connor Wood?

  Let's have him on.

• 48:33Brooke Averick?

  He, I don't think he would want to do that right now, but manifesting a friendship. I also have a project that I have him in mind for.

• 48:42Connor Wood?

  Ooh.

• 48:43Brooke Averick?

  And just looking to connect with Joe Keery on a personal, professional level. And that's my, those are my two manifestations. Ally Hazelwood, MLM, romance novel, and Joe Keery. I don't ask for much. I'm a simple girl.

• 48:56Brooke Averick?

  That's it for 2026.

• 48:58Connor Wood?

  You're not simple. You're, um,

• 49:03Connor Wood?

  you have layers. Like an onion.

• 49:06Brooke Averick?

  Mm-hmm. I just meant my wishes for 2026

• 49:12Brooke Averick?

  are simple. That's everything a girl like me could want.

• 49:17Connor Wood?

  Come on, girl. Shake it for a real one.

• 49:20Brooke Averick?

  Anything that you're thinking?

• 49:23Connor Wood?

  Yeah, um, I went to the movies the other day.

• 49:26Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 49:27Connor Wood?

  Um, I, it had been on my list because I went to Michigan and Idaho. There's not a ton of screenings of really anything in those places. But, um, I went to see Marty Supreme and it was a special screening. It was, uh, and it wasn't like an influencer thing. I just like heard about it through the grapevine. It was, uh, 70 millimeter films. It was, it was, it was shown in that format and it was like very cool. It was like a timepiece. Like you could like tell. It kind of, uh, towards the end, I was like, this is hurting my eyes. But it was very cool to see it in that way. I hadn't seen it yet. The way that I could have taken his annex before that flick, have you seen it?

• 50:08Brooke Averick?

  No. I don't even know what it's about.

• 50:11Connor Wood?

  Is he, okay, and guess what?

• 50:13Brooke Averick?

  Ping pong, right?

• 50:14Connor Wood?

  There's no way, I'm not telling anyone anything about this movie. There's just no, I wanted, I want to talk to you about it at some point because I think that you'll really, really, really like it.

• 50:23Brooke Averick?

  Really?

• 50:24Connor Wood?

  I wit, yeah. For me, instant classic.

• 50:27Brooke Averick?

  Okay. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

• 50:29Connor Wood?

  And I'm not being hype beast Marty Supreme guy. I'm just like, I was, I didn't know what to expect. Went, I bit off every piece of my finger, cuticle and nail. Izzy, did you see it?

• 50:42Speaker 05

  Yeah, I saw it.

• 50:43Brooke Averick?

  Did you like?

• 50:43Connor Wood?

  What'd you think?

• 50:44Speaker 05

  I liked it a lot. Those type of movies, without saying anything, like,

• 50:48Brooke Averick?

  What could, what are you, what could you guys be speaking?

• 50:51Connor Wood?

  No, Brooke, there's the way that there's no way that you could expect, not even, not even like what happens, but like any, it did not let up for, there was no time to pee.

• 51:03Brooke Averick?

  So interesting. I have no idea what to expect.

• 51:06Connor Wood?

  I want to say Gwyneth Paltrow is, like, she is exactly who she thinks she is.

• 51:13Brooke Averick?

  So excited to see it, truly, now.

• 51:15Connor Wood?

  She's exactly who she thinks she is. And guess what? So is Timothee Chalamet.

• 51:18Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 51:20Connor Wood?

  Wow.

• 51:20Brooke Averick?

  I love things.

• 51:21Connor Wood?

  And, and guess what? I really didn't, I did not want to say this about Kevin O'Leary, never did. I think this was gonna leave my mouth.

• 51:30Brooke Averick?

  Good guy?

• 51:32Connor Wood?

  I didn't say that.

• 51:32Brooke Averick?

  Nope. Let me know what you're thinking.

• 51:35Connor Wood?

  Definitely did not say Mr. Wonderful, but I, I was,

• 51:38Brooke Averick?

  I actually don't know who he is.

• 51:39Connor Wood?

  I was nicely surprised. Izzy, were you?

• 51:41Speaker 05

  Yeah, I was.

• 51:42Brooke Averick?

  Who is he?

• 51:42Speaker 05

  I didn't realize it was him for a second.

• 51:43Connor Wood?

  He's on Shark Tank.

• 51:46Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I know who he is.

• 51:48Connor Wood?

  Yeah. I kinda like it when you call me wonderful.

• 51:52Brooke Averick?

  He is in Marty Supreme?

• 51:55Connor Wood?

  Yeah, and he has a big role.

• 51:57Brooke Averick?

  Wow.

• 52:01Connor Wood?

  I mean, I was wowed. My hat came off.

• 52:03Brooke Averick?

  Is he an actor?

• 52:04Connor Wood?

  No.

• 52:06Brooke Averick?

  Okay, I have no idea with this, what direction this movie could go in, and I like shit like that.

• 52:12Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I would encourage everyone to go see it, if you're able to, when you're able to. I was shocked that like, I didn't see, as much as I'm on my phone, especially during like Christmas and New Year's and everything, like, I didn't see any spoilers at all. Nothing. Like, I went into this blind. There's one part that really, really bugs me, and I want to talk to you about it when you get there and see if you have the same thought.

• 52:36Brooke Averick?

  Maybe I'll go this weekend.

• 52:39Connor Wood?

  Can you close your ears for a second?

• 52:40Brooke Averick?

  Hmm, sure.

• 52:41Connor Wood?

  Just close, like, put, like, physically? The dog, you guys, what the hell? It's still bugging me, like, I need more answers about the dog, I wish it was okay. Okay, you're good.

• 52:50Brooke Averick?

  Good?

• 52:51Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 52:51Brooke Averick?

  Okay. I saw a new movie.

• 52:53Connor Wood?

  Um.

• 52:54Brooke Averick?

  If you're, unless you have anything else.

• 52:57Connor Wood?

  No, I have one more thing, but it's off.

• 52:58Brooke Averick?

  No, say it, say it.

• 52:59Connor Wood?

  No, no, no, it's, it's not about that. I'll go after you. We'll go, we'll go tit for tat.

• 53:04Brooke Averick?

  Okay, I saw The Housemaid.

• 53:07Connor Wood?

  Yeah?

• 53:07Brooke Averick?

  Which I genuinely thought was so good.

• 53:09Connor Wood?

  Wow!

• 53:11Brooke Averick?

  It was, what do we, I mean, it was good for what it was. It was exactly what it was supposed to be.

• 53:16Connor Wood?

  Well, it's about a, it's, it's, it's, it's a rendition of a book, right?

• 53:19Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, it was a great, very faithful adaptation. Very entertaining.

• 53:24Connor Wood?

  That's awesome, that's great to hear, you.

• 53:27Brooke Averick?

  I, I, I mean, you can't possibly not be entertained, which is why you see movies like that.

• 53:32Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 53:33Brooke Averick?

  I'm not going for, like, an Oscar-winning performance or film, I'm going to be entertained, and hell, I was.

• 53:41Connor Wood?

  Yeah, um, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean, yeah.

• 53:45Brooke Averick?

  So I saw that.

• 53:46Connor Wood?

  I'll go, I would see that.

• 53:47Brooke Averick?

  I would recommend it, honestly. I saw People We Meet on Vacation last night.

• 53:52Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I want to hear about this, because

• 53:56Connor Wood?

  you saying rom-coms are so back, I'll be the judge of that.

• 53:59Brooke Averick?

  I don't.

• 53:59Connor Wood?

  You and me have to, have to, have to coincide together on this rom-coms are so back thing.

• 54:06Brooke Averick?

  I do think this is more of a female gays rom-com.

• 54:12Connor Wood?

  Who's in it?

• 54:13Brooke Averick?

  Tom Blyth and Emily Bader.

• 54:15Connor Wood?

  The way those are made up names.

• 54:17Brooke Averick?

  You know Tom Blyth.

• 54:20Brooke Averick?

  So Emily Henry is, like, probably the most, like... What?

• 54:24Connor Wood?

  Remy Bader's in it?

• 54:25Brooke Averick?

  No, Emily Bader. She's not, like, she, um...

• 54:30Connor Wood?

  I don't know.

• 54:30Brooke Averick?

  I don't think she's been in much, she was in, like, is it My Lady Jane? Is what she's known for, but I haven't seen her in anything else.

• 54:39Connor Wood?

  Um, I don't know who Tom Blythe is. What is he in?

• 54:42Brooke Averick?

  He was in The Hunger Games.

• 54:45Connor Wood?

  The new one?

• 54:46Brooke Averick?

  Sunrise on the Reaping. Nope, that's the new one. Songbirds and Snakes. He was president snow.

• 54:51Connor Wood?

  I didn't see either.

• 54:51Brooke Averick?

  You didn't see? Well, he was president now.

• 54:55Brooke Averick?

  Before he was president.

• 54:56Connor Wood?

  I've never seen any of his. His, uh.

• 55:00Brooke Averick?

  I, I'm gonna be honest, like the guy a pretty severe amount.

• 55:05Connor Wood?

  That's shocking.

• 55:06Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, you might not have expected it. Pretty intense feelings. Um. I do think Emily Henry is like one of the most famous romance writers of this generation. She is a fan favorite and this was her first book to movie adaptation. So people are really, really excited about it.

• 55:26Connor Wood?

  Oh, great.

• 55:27Brooke Averick?

  It was great. I do think it's more for the girls who love the rom com novels. It's not like a 51st dates.

• 55:34Connor Wood?

  I see.

• 55:34Brooke Averick?

  Type of rom com.

• 55:36Connor Wood?

  Thank you for clearing that up.

• 55:37Brooke Averick?

  I don't know how you will feel about it. I really loved it. I thought it had, it maintained the essence of the book while also being very different because I just finished the book the other day. So I was very much like comparing and contrasting the two nonstop. It was pretty damn different. While being the same.

• 55:58Connor Wood?

  You went to Juilliard. Wow.

• 56:01Brooke Averick?

  He's awesome.

• 56:01Connor Wood?

  For him.

• 56:03Brooke Averick?

  So was she.

• 56:04Connor Wood?

  Oh, exciting. Great.

• 56:05Brooke Averick?

  And Lucas Gage is in it.

• 56:07Connor Wood?

  Oh, cool.

• 56:08Brooke Averick?

  And a lot of people you will recognize. Molly Shannon is in it.

• 56:12Connor Wood?

  Who love Molly Shannon.

• 56:14Brooke Averick?

  Um. I

• 56:18Brooke Averick?

  loved that shit.

• 56:19Connor Wood?

  Jamila Jamil?

• 56:20Brooke Averick?

  Yep.

• 56:21Connor Wood?

  Oh, Sarah Catherine Hook, our girl.

• 56:23Brooke Averick?

  Catherine is in it.

• 56:24Connor Wood?

  Um. Wait, did you, did you see the rumor that she and Milo maybe got cast as entangled?

• 56:32Brooke Averick?

  I did see that. Do you feel comfortable checking in with Milo about that to confirm?

• 56:36Connor Wood?

  You know that I can't do that.

• 56:38Brooke Averick?

  Why?

• 56:39Connor Wood?

  He probably signed an NDA.

• 56:41Brooke Averick?

  Oh.

• 56:42Connor Wood?

  Um, so I saw, is this thing on? And then which, did I talk about it yet?

• 56:49Brooke Averick?

  Best friend. We didn't speak of that.

• 56:53Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I got to sit down with Will Arnett. I know, I know the entire family lineage now.

• 56:58Brooke Averick?

  That's crazy Connor.

• 57:00Connor Wood?

  Um, it was pretty cool. It happened very quickly, but it was fun. The movie, I really need you to see.

• 57:06Brooke Averick?

  Like in a good way?

• 57:07Connor Wood?

  Yeah, it's, it's a think piece to me. The way, you know how we like, we really like This Is Forty?

• 57:14Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 57:15Connor Wood?

  And it's light and it's airy and it's funny. This is kind of like, this is also funny, but it's more of like a realistic.

• 57:21Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 57:22Connor Wood?

  Like realism piece of This Is Forty. Like there's a lot of like, it's a coming of age movie for people that are like middle aged. Like, you know what I mean?

• 57:30Brooke Averick?

  You know, that's how I've been describing Phoebe.

• 57:34Connor Wood?

  Yes.

• 57:34Brooke Averick?

  Coming of age for people who are supposed to already be of age. Love, that's my favorite genre.

• 57:40Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 57:40Brooke Averick?

  So you have me sold.

• 57:43Connor Wood?

  It's kind of like that. And then he basically has fallen into, um, he being Will Arnett, he's getting divorced from, um, Laura Dern in the movie.

• 57:52Brooke Averick?

  Love her.

• 57:53Connor Wood?

  Great cast. Um, and he basically falls into stand-up comedy. And it's like a shameful, it's like a funny thing how it like comes out as like, wait, you've been doing stand-up like, some people are like Bradley Cooper directed it. He's in it. He's funny in it. And his dad's like, oh my God, I had no idea. Like you're, he knew he was getting divorced. He knew that like the kids were living with, like the Laura, but then his dad finds out he's doing stand-up and he like goes white in the face. He's like, I didn't know your life had come to like this.

• 58:23Brooke Averick?

  Like it's worse than the divorce.

• 58:24Connor Wood?

  Stand-up, like how, what is going on in your life that you've actually fallen into stand-up?

• 58:28Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 58:29Connor Wood?

  So we talked about that. I would love if everyone went and saw it. I think it's out in theaters. Um, it's a thinker.

• 58:34Brooke Averick?

  People have a lot of movies to see.

• 58:37Connor Wood?

  It's great. It's great. And it's good movies too. Now, one that can probably go to hell is, uh, Chris Pratt's new movie that's all AI.

• 58:45Brooke Averick?

  Never even heard of it.

• 58:46Connor Wood?

  I won't even name it. Um, it's fully, I think it's going to theaters. Very bizarre. Good luck to you. I'm sure that'll be easily digested by most of

• 58:57Connor Wood?

  the people that watch that stuff.

• 59:01Brooke Averick?

  Um,

• 59:02Connor Wood?

  Good luck to you all.

• 59:02Brooke Averick?

  Speaking of media to consume, here's the thing about heated rivalry.

• 59:07Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 59:08Brooke Averick?

  I'm not even gonna talk about it because I'm gonna talk about it somewhere else. Wink, wink.

• 59:15Brooke Averick?

  Um, just, just.

• 59:17Connor Wood?

  What does that mean?

• 59:18Brooke Averick?

  Just wink, wink.

• 59:21Connor Wood?

  You're gonna talk about it somewhere else?

• 59:22Brooke Averick?

  Wink, wink.

• 59:26Brooke Averick?

  No, there's nothing behind you.

• 59:28Connor Wood?

  What?

• 59:29Brooke Averick?

  It's just so, don't even worry about it. Like, you will hear what I have to say about it. Um.

• 59:36Connor Wood?

  Oh my god, are you?

• 59:37Brooke Averick?

  I'm, I'm just wink, wink. Connor, leave it at that. And I just, I just want to let everyone know that I am in collective psychosis with you. There's been a lot of language I've been seeing about, um, being in a sleeper cell. That like the One Direction girls have been in a sleeper cell for years and we finally, we're, we just woke up. And I feel that so intensely and I just want everyone to know I'm so here with you and I will be speaking about it in greater detail later. Thank you.

  Yeah, it's in, um, it, it, it's changed my life. It's changed the world as we know it. I'm not being dramatic. It's in my DNA. My DNA has been shifted and altered to accommodate, um, Ilya and Shane. Pretty severe.

• 1:00:26Connor Wood?
