• 1:03Brooke Averick?

  Ready?

• 1:04Connor Wood?

  Like, shake it off, shake it off. Sometimes, like every now and then a song that like, kind of how I feel about fortune cookies or graffiti when it's on the ground. Sometimes a song, I'll be like, shake it off, and then I'll be like, wow, that Taylor Swift song was right. You know?

• 1:19Brooke Averick?

  Right on the snake eyes.

• 1:23Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 1:41Connor Wood?

  What is right on the snake eyes? Is that like a poker?

• 1:43Brooke Averick?

  I think it's like right on the money.

• 1:45Connor Wood?

  Like a poker?

• 1:45Brooke Averick?

  Oh, absolutely.

• 1:47Connor Wood?

  Poker?

• 1:48Brooke Averick?

  It's more of like a Tristan and Channing, say it. So I don't know if it's real.

• 1:55Connor Wood?

  Um, just shake it off.

• 1:57Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. I like the taste of fortune cookies.

• 2:01Connor Wood?

  What are they? It's just a wafer.

• 2:04Brooke Averick?

  Hmm, I don't think so.

• 2:05Connor Wood?

  MD Foodie Boys, here checking in.

• 2:07Brooke Averick?

  I don't think so. They kind of give Tootsie Roll vibes, which I do not like.

• 2:11Connor Wood?

  What?

• 2:12Brooke Averick?

  It's like the Tootsie Roll of the cookie.

• 2:16Brooke Averick?

  It's like a throwaway, but I like them. Don't you like Tootsie Rolls?

• 2:21Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 2:21Brooke Averick?

  That's disgusting.

• 2:23Connor Wood?

  I kinda like the danger of there maybe being a razor blade in them. Maybe that was the whole thing.

• 2:27Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Was there ever really a razor blade in a Tootsie Roll?

• 2:31Connor Wood?

  I don't know.

• 2:31Brooke Averick?

  Or was it at the center of a Tootsie Pop?

• 2:34Connor Wood?

  That would be too, too much heavy lifting for the men putting the razors in the candy.

• 2:40Connor Wood?

  Cause how many licks would they have to take?

• 2:41Brooke Averick?

  Unless they were a part of the manufacturing process, in which case it's, we've got to, someone's gotta blow that case wide open.

• 2:47Connor Wood?

  The only one in trouble would be that owl. One, two, whoo, three, crunch, razor blade.

• 2:54Brooke Averick?

  Bring commercials back.

• 2:55Connor Wood?

  One owl dead.

• 2:56Brooke Averick?

  Bring real commercials back.

• 2:58Connor Wood?

  Whoa, I had a dream that I was in a workplace and I, I worked in an office. And that's so weird that

• 3:05Connor Wood?

  this came full circle just now, but I was being bombarded by like, people being like, oh, someone just, someone was, can you believe what they said about you? And I'd go, whoo. And then like, after the whole office would be like, owl, owl, owl. And I was being bullied for being an owl.

• 3:19Brooke Averick?

  Oh my god.

• 3:20Connor Wood?

  But I wasn't an owl. I was a man.

• 3:22Brooke Averick?

  I wonder what that says about you and your psyche and shit like that.

• 3:30Connor Wood?

  Like, it's not a big deal to be an owl, even if I was an owl, like.

• 3:33Brooke Averick?

  Maybe that, there was like an owl trend, so maybe you were internalizing that.

• 3:37Connor Wood?

  I know, but what is the point of that? This is what I always talk about with dreams, like, we could dream about whatever we want. We could be surfing, you know?

• 3:45Brooke Averick?

  That's why it's so important to learn how to lucid dream. You could literally do whatever you want.

• 3:49Connor Wood?

  That's why it's so important to loosen up.

• 3:51Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 3:51Connor Wood?

  And shake it off.

• 3:53Brooke Averick?

  Well said. It's good to see you in the studio.

• 3:55Connor Wood?

  So good to see you in the studio.

• 3:59Connor Wood?

  There's not much to say. We, you know, we were talking about.

• 4:02Brooke Averick?

  Just call it.

• 4:04Connor Wood?

  Nah, that's good. Listen to this on point zero zero two, and that was an hour.

• 4:14Connor Wood?

  Here's what I was gonna say this morning.

• 4:16Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 4:17Connor Wood?

  Well, we were just talking about, because we're recording twice this week. Because I'm, I'm going overseas next week.

• 4:24Brooke Averick?

  Hello.

• 4:25Connor Wood?

  Hello, I'm serving overseas next week, so.

• 4:28Brooke Averick?

  I'm serving cunt overseas.

• 4:32Brooke Averick?

  That's so stupid.

• 4:33Connor Wood?

  That is so stupid.

• 4:34Brooke Averick?

  It's so dumb.

• 4:35Connor Wood?

  I loved it, though.

• 4:36Brooke Averick?

  I do wanna, I do wanna end it.

• 4:38Connor Wood?

  End it all, or some?

• 4:40Brooke Averick?

  Both.

• 4:40Connor Wood?

  Okay. Let's start with some, and then we'll be ending it all.

• 4:43Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 4:45Connor Wood?

  Now.

• 4:49Connor Wood?

  We were talking about maybe having a guest on, or we were just exploring, we were noodling on options for guests. And then we kinda said, maybe we pull man off the street for a guest. And I don't know if I'm supposed to expose our behind the scenes thought processes, but I will, because I ran into a woman on the street today. I walked down, the waves were huge, and there's something, there's just, there's a storm coming into this, our side of the woods. And the waves were huge, so I went down to check them out, and I'm walking back, and this woman walks, is beelining towards me, little old woman.

• 5:24Connor Wood?

  She could be stuffed and sitting on a shelf, she's that size. She comes up to me, and she goes, and I'm gonna try to remember the word, as soon as she walked away, I'm like, what did she just say? Like, and it was very, she was well said, and it was enunciated. She said, "I am aligned with the power of God's life," smiling. And I go, "Light." Did I say life?

• 5:47Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 5:48Connor Wood?

  "I am aligned with the power of God's life."

• 5:52Brooke Averick?

  You mean light?

• 5:53Connor Wood?

  "I am aligned with the power of God's light." And I go, "Oh my gosh, that's awesome."

• 6:00Brooke Averick?

  I bet she's Quaker.

• 6:02Connor Wood?

  Okay, well, I was like, that's so cool that I got chosen, she's going, pinballing off of everybody, telling everybody this. You know what's cool is, I was like, willing to have a conversation, because I was like, I don't know what the hell you're talking about, little lady, but I will, I would love to hear more, you know? Because it wasn't aggressive at all. And then I realized, like, sometimes I'm, like, cool to hang out with. I could have a conversation with her.

• 6:29Brooke Averick?

  I, you know, I don't prefer talking to most people, especially those that I don't know. But there is a very small group of people that are just so out there that it's like, I don't have to worry. I don't have to be on high alert. I don't have to think about what I'm saying next. Like they've got it covered. And it sounds like that's the kind of person that I could fuck with.

• 6:49Connor Wood?

  Well, it seemed she knew her way around. I'm gonna go again tomorrow and see if I can catch her with a nap.

• 6:56Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, be on high alert because you're always meeting these types of people. Ask one to come on the pod next time you meet one.

• 7:02Connor Wood?

  I will ask her.

• 7:05Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 7:05Brooke Averick?

  Anyone that is like this.

• 7:07Connor Wood?

  There's so many.

• 7:09Brooke Averick?

  I wish I could go have that woman from the bookstore.

• 7:14Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 7:15Brooke Averick?

  But I haven't seen her.

• 7:16Connor Wood?

  No. Yeah. I, right when I moved to LA, I had one dude, one gentleman. I drove down south for something and I was driving back up and I got a coffee. And he came up to me and goes, you want to get a slice of pizza? And I go, yeah. And so we went down and we, we sat and we got a slice of pizza.

• 7:36Brooke Averick?

  Did you pay for it? For both of, both of yours?

• 7:38Connor Wood?

  No, he paid for it and he got me two slices because I was, I was so hungry.

• 7:42Brooke Averick?

  Do you think it was a date?

• 7:43Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 7:46Connor Wood?

  Now I do, looking back. Kindsight's 50/50.

• 7:48Brooke Averick?

  What kind of person was he? Like age wise and like?

• 7:51Connor Wood?

  60 something. Yeah. I'm gonna put, I'll find the, we have a selfie on my phone.

• 7:56Brooke Averick?

  Would love to see it.

• 7:57Connor Wood?

  I, uh, I'll send it in. I'll put it up. I looked really different. So just heads up.

• 8:04Brooke Averick?

  Always say that and it's just like, never true.

• 8:06Connor Wood?

  This one's like bad. This was back when I was getting haircuts. It was like right out of college. So I was still like, haircuts are such an insane expense that like it actually made more sense for me to shave my head so I could go further in between haircuts.

• 8:24Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 8:25Connor Wood?

  So there was, like you could see my scalp on the sides of my head. It was very, you know, it was, it was, it was past the point where I should be using Macklemore as a reference for my haircuts, but it actually made sense if I wanted to like stretch out the time in between haircuts.

• 8:40Brooke Averick?

  Speaking of just like the way you look, there's a new doppelganger of you. Did you see? No, this is a good one, but it's not, it's actually completely abnormal how many you have. But look at this one. I was literally like, when did, when did Phoebe get married?

• 9:00Connor Wood?

  Whoa. Who is that?

• 9:03Brooke Averick?

  Some guy.

• 9:06Connor Wood?

  Wait, okay, so side profile-

• 9:08Brooke Averick?

  That is you.

• 9:09Connor Wood?

  Side profile, yes. I need to see the front, the full frontal, because

• 9:16Connor Wood?

  that's what always gets me. You know, like, I, I understand a side profile, but that is un-

• 9:22Brooke Averick?

  Is that not-

• 9:22Connor Wood?

  That's uncanny.

• 9:23Brooke Averick?

  And he's hot, you can tell.

• 9:25Connor Wood?

  I don't know, I need to see the front.

• 9:27Brooke Averick?

  Um...

• 9:28Connor Wood?

  Oh, he's probably not tagged, because this is from a wedding photographer.

• 9:31Brooke Averick?

  Well, let's go to his, his, well, we, Izzy's on it. She will find him.

• 9:35Connor Wood?

  Well, that's, whoa.

• 9:36Brooke Averick?

  Is that not alarming?

• 9:37Connor Wood?

  No, that, yeah.

• 9:37Brooke Averick?

  I thought that was Photoshop.

• 9:40Connor Wood?

  Yeah, that, that really, oof.

• 9:42Brooke Averick?

  But I wonder what it means, like, about, like, from a universe perspective, that you have so many. You know, I bet it means something about, like, you in a past life, or like, where you're going, or just, like, energy, to have so many dopples.

• 9:57Connor Wood?

  I feel like it's because they don't have that many defining features.

• 10:00Brooke Averick?

  You have so, you are, it doesn't make any sense, because you do have so many defining features.

• 10:05Connor Wood?

  What is my defi-, what is a defining feature of mine?

• 10:08Brooke Averick?

  It doesn't matter, all of them. You, I would walk down the street and, or, most people recognize you. You're very recognizable.

• 10:15Connor Wood?

  That is, that is weird, because I, I will have glasses and a hat on, and I'll be in like-

• 10:19Brooke Averick?

  Very, it's like that is con-

• 10:20Connor Wood?

  New Orleans, and someone will, but like, that'll, that is, this is weird. This one's a weird one.

• 10:25Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, that's not normal.

• 10:26Connor Wood?

  I want to show you one I got.

• 10:30Connor Wood?

  Sometimes, like, how did you lose your phone when you're sitting in a chair and you haven't moved?

• 10:33Brooke Averick?

  No, the Callie Clarksons have deep crevices.

• 10:37Connor Wood?

  Their crevices run deep.

• 10:39Brooke Averick?

  And the bonus, we can lift up the cushions, I bet there's so much stuff under there.

• 10:42Connor Wood?

  Oh my gosh, I just opened my phone, there's something that-

• 10:44Brooke Averick?

  Don't.

• 10:47Connor Wood?

  Wait, I saved it in my bookmarks. Now Instagram, why do you have so many buttons? What are you doing with all these buttons? Yeah, okay, hang on. I, um, yeah, yeah, a new doppel. I should make an album so I can. Okay, obviously I can't find it.

• 11:02Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 11:03Connor Wood?

  Bye.

• 11:04Brooke Averick?

  Bye. We'll see you next week.

• 11:07Connor Wood?

  Yeah. Well, no, I can't find it. Well, that's crazy. Why did this come up?

• 11:12Brooke Averick?

  Uh, cuz you were talking about the way you look and I said, speaking of the, your face. Oh, here's the husband. Good job, Izzy. Yeah. That's you.

• 11:22Connor Wood?

  I mean, I see it. Wow, he's from everywhere.

• 11:25Brooke Averick?

  Hold on, let's, can we Google?

• 11:26Connor Wood?

  Maybe that's part of it.

• 11:27Brooke Averick?

  Can we Google Brighton Godfrey?

• 11:29Connor Wood?

  Well, we don't need to say, I don't even know, I don't know if we should be saying his first and last on the.

• 11:34Brooke Averick?

  Um, he's an unavailable.

• 11:36Connor Wood?

  Ah, yes. Me and my bald head. Oh, wait, are there more?

• 11:43Brooke Averick?

  Or is, oh, he's tagged? Oh, I bet she has, oh, here we go.

• 11:50Brooke Averick?

  Okay. Yeah.

• 11:52Connor Wood?

  I get to see it.

• 11:53Brooke Averick?

  It's more so from the side, from the other side. Yeah.

• 11:59Brooke Averick?

  Oh, from that one a little.

• 12:06Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, that one.

• 12:08Connor Wood?

  What? That looks like the dude from The Office.

• 12:10Brooke Averick?

  Dwight?

• 12:11Connor Wood?

  No, the tall one that comes in late.

• 12:13Brooke Averick?

  Oh, Gabe?

• 12:14Connor Wood?

  Gabe.

• 12:15Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, that's like you and Gabe had a baby.

• 12:17Connor Wood?

  That looks like Zach Woods.

• 12:18Brooke Averick?

  You and Gabe had a baby. I like those neck, those things on your neck for the bride.

• 12:26Connor Wood?

  A collar?

• 12:27Brooke Averick?

  No, it's not a collar, it's like a little scarf.

• 12:31Brooke Averick?

  I'm sick.

• 12:35Brooke Averick?

  You wanna talk about stuff?

• 12:37Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 12:38Brooke Averick?

  I have so many things in my Hobonichi, but it's just tough cuz like I don't think that you would find any of them interesting, which is hard.

• 12:46Connor Wood?

  Well, what's good about me is that like I can ask questions and I can learn.

• 12:49Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 12:52Brooke Averick?

  I am obsessed with somber.

• 12:54Connor Wood?

  Yeah, what was that about? Did you meet him?

• 12:56Brooke Averick?

  No. It's just like, it's been happening slowly and all at once.

• 13:00Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 13:01Brooke Averick?

  Like it started with that, I don't wanna get undressed for a new person all over again, eyes of my lover and the child.

• 13:08Connor Wood?

  Yeah, still.

• 13:12Connor Wood?

  Still, I don't think the lyrics are right there.

• 13:14Brooke Averick?

  No, they're, I'm, I don't, I can't remember them.

• 13:16Connor Wood?

  I don't, I don't think it's for someone, I don't want to get dressed for someone else in the eyes of a child. I don't either.

• 13:22Brooke Averick?

  Listen, man, I don't know the exact lyrics, but I know that I love them and you understood what I was saying.

• 13:27Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 13:28Brooke Averick?

  But they're just, it's not even the lyrics themselves that I'm obsessed with. It's the fact that like, he is a little, like, he's, he was like six when he wrote them. Which like, there's this like, I've been really moved by this like, deep, dark, like, young man.

• 13:47Connor Wood?

  He was six when he wrote the song?

• 13:49Brooke Averick?

  Not actually six, but like, he's 20 right now.

• 13:51Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 13:52Brooke Averick?

  So, that was written, what, probably a while ago?

• 13:55Connor Wood?

  He's 20 right now?

• 13:56Brooke Averick?

  20, round down a few years, six. He's born in 2005.

• 14:04Connor Wood?

  That's awesome.

• 14:04Brooke Averick?

  That just like, it just is really, I'm finding it amazing that he did that at such a young age. And then he keeps, he keeps amazing me. His new song, "Home Wrecker."

• 14:17Connor Wood?

  You know, I think that Milo got you, I think the Milo took you to your love for Sombra. I think that was the egg that hatched.

• 14:25Brooke Averick?

  No, I've always been loving Sombra.

• 14:27Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 14:27Brooke Averick?

  Slowly but surely, I've spoken about him a few times now, he's come up. Then I watched the music video because Milo is in it, so I wanted to watch it.

• 14:35Connor Wood?

  Uh huh.

• 14:36Brooke Averick?

  And it, Sombra just, he's really, he captivates me.

• 14:40Connor Wood?

  He captives me.

• 14:41Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, he captivates me. And so I've been listening to a lot of Sombra.

• 14:48Connor Wood?

  That's amazing.

• 14:48Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I really like him.

• 14:51Connor Wood?

  Um, I wish-

• 14:51Brooke Averick?

  Like, as a friend.

• 14:53Connor Wood?

  He, he would just, he's been doing like, he's getting into that group of like YouTube people, like Quinn Blackwell, that whole-

• 14:59Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, she was in the music video too.

• 15:00Connor Wood?

  Oh, maybe that was-

• 15:01Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I think that's it.

• 15:02Connor Wood?

  So they probably swapped, they did a pod swap.

• 15:04Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 15:04Connor Wood?

  And then he joined, uh, her on her YouTube series, which I wanna, I've never heard him talk.

• 15:11Brooke Averick?

  Somb?

• 15:11Connor Wood?

  No.

• 15:12Brooke Averick?

  You might like it.

• 15:13Connor Wood?

  Really?

• 15:13Brooke Averick?

  He's just a boy.

• 15:15Connor Wood?

  He has the name of an app.

• 15:17Brooke Averick?

  Well, Sombra's not on his birth certificate.

• 15:20Connor Wood?

  Oh. I was like, I know he was born in 2005, cause he sounds like an app that, that, for like-

• 15:26Brooke Averick?

  His parents did not name him Sombra.

• 15:27Connor Wood?

  Sombra is an app that wakes you up when you need to take your medication.

• 15:31Brooke Averick?

  Pause, here's a fun game. Just from looking at him, what do you think his name is?

• 15:36Connor Wood?

  Give me a second.

• 15:38Brooke Averick?

  Let's, can we pull up a picture?

• 15:42Brooke Averick?

  Also, like, he, I think he's like 6'6" or 6'7". Oh, he's, he will be in Warsaw soon.

• 15:49Connor Wood?

  Um, hmm, his name.

• 15:54Brooke Averick?

  What is his name?

• 15:57Brooke Averick?

  Rex.

• 15:58Connor Wood?

  No, not Rex, T-Rex, maybe. Uh.

• 16:05Brooke Averick?

  Right.

• 16:05Connor Wood?

  Ryder.

• 16:06Brooke Averick?

  Ryder?

• 16:07Connor Wood?

  Ryder. No, Riker.

• 16:08Brooke Averick?

  Riker?

• 16:09Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 16:10Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 16:12Brooke Averick?

  Do we know the answer?

• 16:13Connor Wood?

  Is Riker a name?

• 16:14Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Sombra's name is, drumroll please, Shane.

• 16:20Connor Wood?

  Shane. Shane Michael Boos. Okay, that wouldn't have been, oh, Sombra.

• 16:25Brooke Averick?

  Sounds like my caboose. Shake my caboose.

• 16:29Connor Wood?

  That's what we're doing to Sombra's music.

• 16:33Brooke Averick?

  Hell, yes.

• 16:34Connor Wood?

  If we ever meet him, let's be like, your name sounds like Shake Our Caboose. How old are you?

• 16:39Brooke Averick?

  He will love that.

• 16:40Connor Wood?

  He will love it. He will love it.

• 16:43Brooke Averick?

  I really like him.

• 16:45Connor Wood?

  July 5th, 2005, and in Y.

• 16:47Brooke Averick?

  Absolutely. He blends pop, alt-rock, and R&B. 100%. Often focusing on themes of love and heartbreak. Self-taught. He's so self-taught. That's what moves me here.

• 17:01Connor Wood?

  That is sweet.

• 17:02Brooke Averick?

  Anyway, I'm loving Sombra.

• 17:04Connor Wood?

  What does it mean to be self-taught as like an artist? Cause like, I sing.

• 17:09Brooke Averick?

  Um, it says he's a self-taught producer.

• 17:12Connor Wood?

  So like, okay.

• 17:14Brooke Averick?

  But also I get, you know, sometimes I get confused about producer because there's lots of different types of producers.

• 17:18Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 17:20Brooke Averick?

  Like, we've got Izzy, who's like all hands-on. And then sometimes there's producers who like, aren't really there and they just contribute financially.

• 17:28Connor Wood?

  Right.

• 17:29Brooke Averick?

  So I don't know how Sombra produces.

• 17:31Connor Wood?

  Oversees a creation.

• 17:32Brooke Averick?

  I could ask him.

• 17:33Connor Wood?

  Recording, guiding, yeah, we'd love to have you on Shane.

• 17:38Brooke Averick?

  Don't call him Shane.

• 17:39Connor Wood?

  Why?

• 17:40Brooke Averick?

  I don't know, he doesn't, he goes by Sombra.

• 17:42Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 17:44Connor Wood?

  I haven't talked to him. I don't know what he prefers. He might prefer Shane.

• 17:47Brooke Averick?

  Well, I don't, I would, I, I, that's a-

• 17:50Connor Wood?

  That, that one we have to cut out. That, I don't even, like, I didn't even eat anything today. Like, I don't know how much gas is just existing in my body on a day-to-day thing. I'm like-

• 18:00Brooke Averick?

  You, Connor, I don't, you act like it is the strangest thing in the world that you're burping after chugging 16 sparkling water.

• 18:08Connor Wood?

  This is still-

• 18:10Brooke Averick?

  But you just chugged that one.

• 18:12Connor Wood?

  I didn't chug.

• 18:13Brooke Averick?

  You just drank it. Sparkling water makes you burp. Period. On God, no cap.

• 18:17Connor Wood?

  Okay, then I need to stop drinking sparkling water. But that's somewhere I got on my own and not with any feedback from people that watch or listen.

• 18:28Connor Wood?

  Thank you. Because I just know that I'm not taking feedback, unless it's positive. Thank you.

• 18:36Connor Wood?

  That being said, I'm as gaseous as a small star.

• 18:40Brooke Averick?

  Cute. I like that.

• 18:43Connor Wood?

  Early stages of my career as a star, because I'm just little gaseous, but it's coming out both ends.

• 18:52Brooke Averick?

  I love that.

• 18:53Connor Wood?

  Oh, God.

• 19:52Brooke Averick?

  Do you want to talk about the Super Bowl?

• 19:54Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I mean, there's nothing to say. The Super Bowl was amazing. I'm a Patriots fan. Their performance was whack city, was a whack job. Uh, but the game itself was amazing.

• 20:06Connor Wood?

  We were busy, busy, busy out there.

• 20:08Brooke Averick?

  I mean, flagging that you were there.

• 20:10Connor Wood?

  I was at the Super Bowl, yeah. But I said that last week that I was going to the Super Bowl.

• 20:13Brooke Averick?

  Right.

• 20:14Connor Wood?

  Um, and it was so much fun, like, seriously, that was, there were so many people there that like,

• 20:21Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 20:22Connor Wood?

  I had, I had like friends there.

• 20:24Brooke Averick?

  And you were right up at the front.

• 20:26Connor Wood?

  Of what?

• 20:27Brooke Averick?

  The Super Bowl.

• 20:28Connor Wood?

  Yeah, we had amazing seats.

• 20:29Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 20:30Connor Wood?

  Um.

• 20:33Connor Wood?

  It was, it was really cool. And San Francisco is one of my favorite cities on earth, so. That was cool.

• 20:38Brooke Averick?

  I've never been.

• 20:41Connor Wood?

  Where have you been?

• 20:42Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 20:44Brooke Averick?

  I've been to a lot of states on the East Coast.

• 20:47Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 20:47Brooke Averick?

  I actually can tell you exactly where I've been.

• 20:49Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 20:49Brooke Averick?

  East Coast states. Florida, California.

• 20:55Brooke Averick?

  Denver once.

• 20:57Connor Wood?

  For what?

• 20:58Brooke Averick?

  Uh, nannying.

• 21:00Connor Wood?

  You went to dinner to.

• 21:05Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 21:06Connor Wood?

  See what happens when I'm off my sparkling?

• 21:08Brooke Averick?

  For the summer.

• 21:08Connor Wood?

  I start stuttering. Um, you were in the Denver.

• 21:13Brooke Averick?

  Denver.

• 21:14Connor Wood?

  Denver.

• 21:15Brooke Averick?

  Alabama for my Patricia's wedding.

• 21:17Connor Wood?

  That was fun.

• 21:19Brooke Averick?

  And.

• 21:22Brooke Averick?

  Arizona.

• 21:26Brooke Averick?

  And I think we can call that a wash. Chicago.

• 21:31Connor Wood?

  When I'm.

• 21:32Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I drove. No, no, no, no. I drove here from Philly. So Ohio, Nebraska, Iowa.

• 21:41Brooke Averick?

  Salt Lake.

• 21:42Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 21:43Brooke Averick?

  Shit like that, Vegas. So I've been a few places, but I've not really been into the middle. I've never been to Texas.

• 21:50Connor Wood?

  That is crazy. That would be something of interest. We could, we should go for like South by Southwest.

• 21:55Brooke Averick?

  I will be. In a lot more places shortly.

• 21:59Connor Wood?

  Mm-hmm.

• 21:59Brooke Averick?

  Wink.

• 22:00Connor Wood?

  Wink.

• 22:01Brooke Averick?

  On God.

• 22:02Connor Wood?

  Yes. Well, how exciting. Um, no, okay, so the Super Bowl was fun. I had a great, I made a lot of new friends. Obviously, I know that you, I know what you want to talk about, so just.

• 22:12Brooke Averick?

  Well, I'm just like.

• 22:15Brooke Averick?

  Let me, I want to paint you a scenario.

• 22:18Connor Wood?

  Sure.

• 22:18Brooke Averick?

  What's something you really love?

• 22:20Connor Wood?

  Um, this is 40.

• 22:22Brooke Averick?

  Oh, okay. Imagine I am hanging out with Leslie Mann.

• 22:29Brooke Averick?

  And you have to hear about it on Instagram.

• 22:33Brooke Averick?

  When I post a photo, a solo photo of me and Leslie Mann.

• 22:36Connor Wood?

  You don't like it when I text you and be like, guess where I am?

• 22:40Brooke Averick?

  What would ever give you that impression that I don't like, that I wouldn't want to hear that?

• 22:45Connor Wood?

  Your response, and there's a lot of periods?

• 22:47Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, but that's the way I talk. Like, oh, nice. Like, I'm like-

• 22:51Connor Wood?

  Oh, well, it's hard for me to read tone in a text.

• 22:55Brooke Averick?

  No, like, that's me being like, happy for you, but it should be me, and I love you.

• 23:00Connor Wood?

  Uh, yeah, this is my new best friend.

• 23:02Brooke Averick?

  I mean, let's put this out on the table. Connor was hanging with Kit from Heated Rivalry, Robbie.

• 23:09Brooke Averick?

  And I had to find out on Instagram.

• 23:10Connor Wood?

  I call him Rob.

• 23:11Brooke Averick?

  Okay, this is amazing, thank you.

• 23:14Connor Wood?

  I didn't, I didn't know you were such a fan of, of Robbie.

• 23:18Brooke Averick?

  Well, he's in Heated Rivalry.

• 23:19Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I thought that you, I thought, I didn't know that he was in-

• 23:22Brooke Averick?

  Sure.

• 23:23Connor Wood?

  Your trifecta.

• 23:25Brooke Averick?

  Um, I will say, like, in your defense, like, I'm totally a Shane and Elliot girl.

• 23:31Connor Wood?

  Yeah, so that was, that was not my intention. I didn't know that, like, because you have a shirt of Shane and-

• 23:36Brooke Averick?

  Sure.

• 23:37Connor Wood?

  Like, just under a shirt of Elliot, like-

• 23:38Brooke Averick?

  Sure. No, I mean, yeah, I mean, the guy is a pretty big part in my favorite show. Um, so it was, it was good to see y'all together. It always is. When you and Robbie get together, it's frickin' fireworks.

• 23:50Connor Wood?

  It's crazy when we do. Also, Nadine was there. Who's in Heated Rivalry as well.

• 23:55Brooke Averick?

  Yes, she is.

• 23:56Connor Wood?

  And she's one of my favorite people that I've ever met in my life.

• 23:57Brooke Averick?

  Wow.

• 23:58Connor Wood?

  It was just very, it was really, really great. And it was kind of like adult summer camp. Like, we went with Abercrombie and Fitch and it was like the coolest thing. We went hiking, we had dinner together every night, and then we like went to the football game. And it was just, it was just fantastic. We had so much fun. Sierra, who is also like my new family member. And then Henry.

• 24:21Brooke Averick?

  Does Robbie live here?

• 24:23Connor Wood?

  He's Canadian. No, he lives in-

• 24:24Brooke Averick?

  Oh, so he's not in the area?

• 24:26Connor Wood?

  No.

• 24:26Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I was gonna say, if we're desperate for a guest-

• 24:30Connor Wood?

  Is he west?

• 24:30Brooke Averick?

  On Friday. Seems like Rob, seems like Rob, as you call him.

• 24:34Connor Wood?

  Rob has a crazy schedule.

• 24:36Brooke Averick?

  I bet. You would know.

• 24:41Brooke Averick?

  What about Wes?

• 24:43Connor Wood?

  He was there too. I mean, just like so cool to see so many people in my network just at the Super Bowl working. Like, everyone had, like, Wes was doing commentary on like, on sports stuff. He was on, he had 7 a.m. call times every day to be on like NBC to like, help stream and talk to people through like the pregame stuff. And I was like, that is so cool.

• 25:03Brooke Averick?

  That is cool.

• 25:04Connor Wood?

  Like, everyone's like, doing real medium stuff. And it's not as much like, posting TikToks and things. It's all, it's like, you're doing things. It's cool.

• 25:13Brooke Averick?

  That is cool.

• 25:14Connor Wood?

  It was, it was very cool. I'm trying to think about, oh, I'm trying to think of any other like, things that people would care about, um, that we did. So, one evening, we went out to supper. And, uh, I don't know if you know, Central C, he's a rapper.

• 25:34Brooke Averick?

  Oh, Central, talking about Central C?

• 25:37Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 25:38Brooke Averick?

  I don't know.

• 25:40Connor Wood?

  He has a line that sticks with people. How can I be homophobic? My bitch is gay.

• 25:43Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I do know.

• 25:44Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I see that. That's what I was gonna say. Um, this young man is there, very soft-spoken, but I, I do see him with a flosser in his mouth. And I go, "Shut up." I go, "See, I have a flosser in my wallet that I use every day." And he goes, "The same one?" I go, "Well, yeah, I haven't changed it in a couple of days." And I go, "But look." And it's just, just disgusting flosser. And he goes, "All right." Like, that was kind of the end of the first part. And then I was like, "Oh, okay. Well, that's not, that wasn't my ideal thing." But also, like, it was, he's so cool that he might have actually really enjoyed that.

• 26:23Brooke Averick?

  You know what? I bet you were chasing the high of giving MGG a button.

• 26:29Connor Wood?

  Well, I was just trying to talk.

• 26:30Brooke Averick?

  Exactly.

• 26:30Connor Wood?

  You know what? I mean, definitely, it looked like a Make-A-Wish kid. Like, Tracy, I know all the same, I say all the time, but like, this was truly like...

• 26:39Connor Wood?

  Who is, why is he here? I don't know if you saw the hat I was wearing, it definitely looked like I-

• 26:45Brooke Averick?

  You missed 100% of the shots, you know.

• 26:46Connor Wood?

  Right, and it's kinda one of those things where like, you know, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm a fan of this young man and whenever I see him later in the evening and he has it in his mouth and I had mine in my mouth because I was actively flossing, I think he was just sucking on his. But I go, "Hey", and we weren't next to each other, like basically from here to this, this camera here. And I go, "Hey", and he goes, and then he pulls his beanie over his eyes at the curb. So, yeah, I mean, that's probably my last time I'll talk to him, but it wasn't horrible. I mean, I've had worse interactions.

• 27:21Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 27:22Connor Wood?

  Like several times. So this is like, yeah, I don't think he ever needs to see me again, which is fine, but I, I feel fine about it.

• 27:28Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 27:30Connor Wood?

  Um, other, other new friends, we talked to Robert Irwin. He's such a, he's exactly who you think he is.

• 27:37Brooke Averick?

  That's awesome when people are exactly who you think they are.

• 27:40Connor Wood?

  Yeah. I'm trying to think of anyone else I saw.

• 27:43Brooke Averick?

  Wow, you've really hit some of my bucket list people.

• 27:46Connor Wood?

  Yeah, and everyone's so friendly.

• 27:49Brooke Averick?

  Rob, Rob and Central C.

• 27:53Connor Wood?

  I was, I will say being around that many athletes, which we were, for a lot of it, just like players from other teams that weren't obviously in the Super Bowl, they are not very interested in talking to people that aren't, um,

• 28:08Connor Wood?

  boobs, that don't have boobs.

• 28:10Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, that's so interesting. I haven't been around that energy. Like sometimes I forget that like there are men that like boobs and stuff like that. Like I just, it's not anything that I've been around for like a really long time. Just like that, like alpha male, like boobs.

• 28:32Connor Wood?

  See, I haven't been around people that don't wanna, don't wanna at least throw a bone for a conversation. I walked up to one athlete that I'm a fan of and I was like, completely sitting, standing by himself, kind of looking at the ground. And I felt a little bit bad and I also wasn't doing anything. I was like, "Hey, man, what's up? I'm Connor." And he goes, "Nice." I've never, I've never seen someone walk away while they're giving a handshake. That was a first for me.

• 29:01Brooke Averick?

  Do you think that they're rude or socially awkward?

• 29:03Connor Wood?

  I think, I think, I think socially awkward.

• 29:05Brooke Averick?

  I think their social circles are probably really limited.

• 29:08Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I think that they are awkward and I don't think that they have a ton of

• 29:14Connor Wood?

  experiences talking with people when it's not about sports, football or something.

• 29:19Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I think so. I think they probably don't have

• 29:23Brooke Averick?

  this maybe like social skills.

• 29:24Connor Wood?

  Yeah, and my question is always was gonna be when's the last time you were on a ladder? You know, like I'm not gonna, I don't, I'm not gonna ask you about how's your hamstring? I don't, you know, I'm just not, not in my, not in my

• 29:38Connor Wood?

  lexicon.

• 29:39Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. How was seeing the halftime show in person?

• 29:42Connor Wood?

  Uh, very high energy. He was facing the other way, so I was watching it on the screen.

• 29:48Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 29:49Connor Wood?

  Um, but it was cool. And like, a lot of people, a lot, like a lot of people were like full-blown knew every word to the song, so it sounded like, I thought it was like the speaker, but no, it was people just like singing, so that was cool. I obviously don't know. I, I know the songs, like I, I listened to a lot of Bad Bunny and I requested at a lot of the clubs, but like, I just realized I didn't know any of the words, so I was like, oh!

• 30:19Brooke Averick?

  I was so surprised, because you know me, I have pretty like, poor taste in music and don't listen to a lot of mainstream people besides somber. Um, so I really haven't like tuned into a Super Bowl, like halftime show, like excitedly and like a, probably since Beyonce.

• 30:38Brooke Averick?

  And I was like, I was moved to tears by Bad Bunny. I don't speak, I took French in high school, like I don't even remotely speak Spanish and I, I felt as though it transcended language.

• 30:52Connor Wood?

  It was very theatrical.

• 30:53Brooke Averick?

  To me. I was, I understood everything he was saying.

• 30:55Connor Wood?

  Okay, that's awesome.

• 30:56Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, in a way. I really, I was, I loved it, I was very moved.

• 31:02Connor Wood?

  No, I actually didn't see it because I was watching the other halftime show.

• 31:06Brooke Averick?

  Oh, Turning Point?

• 31:08Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 31:09Brooke Averick?

  Oh, fabulous.

• 31:10Connor Wood?

  Yes. Um, it was just kinda like, I've, I wanna just pop in and see what's going on over there.

• 31:20Brooke Averick?

  I'm so stupid, um, for so many reasons, but the first being that I thought it was Chris Rock performing.

• 31:29Brooke Averick?

  And I was like, I did not know that guy was MAGA. Like, that's a shame. That is a damn shame. And then I saw a photo of, of the true perpetrator. Not, not Chris Rock. Chris Rock's marked completely and utterly safe.

• 31:44Connor Wood?

  You're looking at this guy just like, okay, you guys, have fun.

• 31:50Brooke Averick?

  It's like extremely embarrassing for all of those involved and not even wishing you well. Love it, though.

• 32:00Connor Wood?

  Oh, my God. I, um, just, I don't know. Um, but no, it was very, it was very fun. And it was like very theatrical. I thought, I thought that the, no one's really talking about like the setup of the whole stage. It was like so cool and they got it out so quickly. The casita was out there. There's so many people in the casita. Um, and then right after the halftime show and Lady Gaga coming out, I was like, wait, hang, like I was, I was kind of just like kind of bopping around and then she came out of a lock then. It was like, whoa, this is really cool. Meeting of the minds.

• 32:39Connor Wood?

  Um, and then,

• 32:42Connor Wood?

  I'm gonna move on. So if you have something to say, I would say.

• 32:44Brooke Averick?

  No, I just recently, when I was watching Lady Gaga, remembered, do you remember when I like met her and took that photo with her at the LG event?

• 32:55Brooke Averick?

  I've had forgotten about that, but.

• 32:58Connor Wood?

  The LG event?

• 32:59Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 33:00Connor Wood?

  Lady Gaga?

• 33:00Brooke Averick?

  Oh, no, I was thinking LGBT.

• 33:02Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 33:03Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 33:06Connor Wood?

  It's, it's one of the funniest pictures.

• 33:09Brooke Averick?

  I was so confused.

• 33:11Connor Wood?

  That literally, that was, that.

• 33:17Brooke Averick?

  Or saying that she really has always felt at home in our community? Oh, absolutely.

• 33:23Connor Wood?

  I'm trying to find the words to describe this girl without being... No, that was an Akon song.

• 33:29Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Actually, I like that outfit of mine.

• 33:33Connor Wood?

  I like, yeah.

• 33:34Brooke Averick?

  You don't?

• 33:35Connor Wood?

  I was gonna say I like that outfit of hers, I can't see it because it's so dark.

• 33:38Brooke Averick?

  Oh. Okay, I feel good to move on.

• 33:42Connor Wood?

  Okay, well, what nobody else saw was that there was a streaker right after the...

• 33:46Brooke Averick?

  Oh, nobody else did see that?

• 33:48Connor Wood?

  Yeah, um, which is crazy, they have so much control over that because it's like, why would you not? He wasn't naked, he just had his shirt off. But my thought was immediately like...

• 33:59Connor Wood?

  Oh, I shouldn't even say this, it's like, I can say it. My thought, because I didn't know it was happening, I couldn't see right at first, and everyone started screaming, and I was thinking terrorist attack.

• 34:06Brooke Averick?

  That's scary.

• 34:07Connor Wood?

  Yeah. Um, but I am always thinking terrorist attack. There is not... I don't think there's a day goes by that I'd not like...

• 34:18Brooke Averick?

  I have a new fear of just like everything being a sleeper cell.

• 34:24Connor Wood?

  Can we circle back on sleeper cell?

• 34:25Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 34:27Connor Wood?

  Because I think that the guy that jumped down there had a lot of money that there would be a streaker and we were getting towards the end of the game and he bet on that and there wasn't a streaker and I think it may actually have been worth it for him to streak, to be the streaker.

• 34:38Brooke Averick?

  Oh, okay.

• 34:40Connor Wood?

  That was my thought process.

• 34:41Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 34:42Connor Wood?

  Um, but that was kind of my Super Bowl experience, it was weird being a, being at a game and that you're, you kind of have, you're kind of a fan of one of the teams and they just didn't perform at all and it was just kind of like...

• 34:51Brooke Averick?

  They had not won the Super Bowl?

• 34:54Connor Wood?

  No, that, that evening? No, they actually got demolished and squashed.

• 34:58Brooke Averick?

  I'm sorry.

• 34:59Connor Wood?

  It's okay, it's only up from here or down, whatever's easiest, but, um...

• 35:06Connor Wood?

  We had great, we had, we had beers and big plastic cups, which is my favorite thing to do at a, at a, in an arena stadium type situation. And then, um, I got a hot dog on the street from like a vendor.

• 35:17Brooke Averick?

  That's exciting.

• 35:18Connor Wood?

  Yeah. That was great.

• 35:20Brooke Averick?

  I'm glad you had a good time.

• 35:22Connor Wood?

  And then we took this like shuttle bus home and we, we sang the whole way home. We did karaoke and everyone went around.

• 35:29Brooke Averick?

  I bet Robbie can sing, can't he?

• 35:31Connor Wood?

  He gave the performance of a lifetime.

• 35:32Brooke Averick?

  Wow.

• 35:34Connor Wood?

  Um, it was so fun. Everyone was just in such high spirits. I think because we, we had gotten out a little bit before the huge crowds, so we weren't in traffic leaving the Super Bowl. Oh, it was awesome. And then we just went home and then that was the end of the weekend. It was really great. I had a hard time getting to the airport on Sunday, cause the-

• 35:51Brooke Averick?

  Wait, where was it?

• 35:52Connor Wood?

  San Francisco.

• 35:53Brooke Averick?

  San Francisco.

• 35:55Connor Wood?

  Francisco. It's one of the best cities on earth. I'm serious.

• 35:59Brooke Averick?

  I can't wait to go.

• 36:00Connor Wood?

  A lot of people have a bad view of San Francisco, cause they've seen parts of it, but like, it is gorgeous. We went on a hike the first day we got there and I was like, I'm confused why this is not talked about in terms of like, we talk about Los Angeles, we talk about New York City.

• 36:20Brooke Averick?

  I feel like people are talking about San Francisco.

• 36:23Connor Wood?

  Not in a positive way.

• 36:25Brooke Averick?

  I have, I feel like I've mostly heard good names.

• 36:27Connor Wood?

  Oh.

• 36:28Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 36:29Connor Wood?

  I had not.

• 37:28Connor Wood?

  Anyways, it was very, very fun. Let me think of, okay, so I don't know if you watched any Super Bowl ads. Obviously, mine and mine and Dylan's came out. Everyone was looking around for the Doritos ad. We did the Doritos ad.

• 37:38Brooke Averick?

  Did you see that I did an ad amplifying your voice?

• 37:41Connor Wood?

  When?

• 37:43Brooke Averick?

  During the Super Bowl.

• 37:46Connor Wood?

  Where is it?

• 37:46Brooke Averick?

  On TikTok.

• 37:49Connor Wood?

  Oh, I can't open TikTok.

• 37:50Brooke Averick?

  My ad, you know, it's important to amplify white men's voices, so I had to.

• 37:54Connor Wood?

  Yeah, finally.

• 37:55Brooke Averick?

  Finally. I had, this was my ad.

• 37:58Connor Wood?

  Okay, it's also doing really well.

• 38:00Brooke Averick?

  Because they boosted it to high heaven.

• 38:02Connor Wood?

  Oh.

• 38:02Brooke Averick?

  Oh, my God, this is actually scary. Apparently, I'd made a sign with my hand by accident of like the universal help sign in this, in this ad, and everyone's commenting like, please help her.

• 38:14Connor Wood?

  Isn't it this thing or whatever?

• 38:15Brooke Averick?

  Well, I'm confused because they're talking about the, like, this peace sign that I made.

• 38:20Connor Wood?

  Oh.

• 38:21Brooke Averick?

  But.

• 38:22Connor Wood?

  That kind of, that's kind of like the universal peace.

• 38:25Brooke Averick?

  Apparently, there's the way my thumb is positioned.

• 38:28Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 38:29Brooke Averick?

  I'm asking for help. But, yeah, it was an honor to be just a small part of this.

• 38:34Connor Wood?

  Right.

• 38:37Connor Wood?

  My favorite thing are all the people that are saying, I have no idea who these people are, and it's like.

• 38:41Brooke Averick?

  I haven't seen.

• 38:41Connor Wood?

  Do you know, do you know everyone?

• 38:43Brooke Averick?

  I haven't seen people.

• 38:44Connor Wood?

  How many, how many commercials that weren't like A-list celebrities? Did you know every single person in the, in the commercial?

• 38:51Brooke Averick?

  Right.

• 38:51Connor Wood?

  Um, so that was really.

• 38:52Brooke Averick?

  People like to speak and look at their own name.

• 38:56Connor Wood?

  I need to flag something.

• 38:57Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 39:01Connor Wood?

  It was brought to my attention, um, that Dylan posted several stories in slow-mo where you could see.

• 39:16Connor Wood?

  At all.

• 39:19Brooke Averick?

  Before or after the rip in your pants?

• 39:23Connor Wood?

  Before.

• 39:24Brooke Averick?

  And just to clarify, before you ripped your pants, you were not wearing panties?

• 39:31Connor Wood?

  No, I was wearing shorts that were like a bathing suit style short. And so I don't typically

• 39:38Connor Wood?

  put a layer underneath those.

• 39:40Brooke Averick?

  What have we spoken about?

• 39:43Connor Wood?

  I didn't know I was gonna be doing a high.

• 39:45Brooke Averick?

  When you shoot a commercial.

• 39:48Brooke Averick?

  Doesn't matter if you think you're gonna be doing a high kick or not. When you shoot a commercial, you need to put your panties on.

• 39:57Connor Wood?

  I've learned my lesson. It's been now.

• 39:59Brooke Averick?

  Have you?

• 39:59Connor Wood?

  It's been now twice, both with Doritos, thank you. That I, I will be moving forward with undergarments on every commercial shoot that I'm on.

• 40:11Brooke Averick?

  I'll believe it when I see it.

• 40:11Connor Wood?

  And in meetings as well.

• 40:14Brooke Averick?

  Meetings? Sorry for another day.

• 40:18Connor Wood?

  Sorry for offline.

• 40:19Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 40:22Connor Wood?

  I don't know if you, did you see that? Did you catch it? Oh, Brooke. No.

• 40:30Brooke Averick?

  Hard to miss.

• 40:33Connor Wood?

  No way, did you?

• 40:35Brooke Averick?

  Hard to miss.

• 40:35Connor Wood?

  Why did you text me?

• 40:37Brooke Averick?

  I thought you knew.

• 40:39Connor Wood?

  Dylan had to delete the story.

• 40:41Brooke Averick?

  I thought you knew.

• 40:43Connor Wood?

  And he didn't text me.

• 40:45Brooke Averick?

  Did you text him? Or was it just like a lot of responses being like, "Hi."

• 40:54Connor Wood?

  It was a lot of all caps, "This is not safe for work."

• 40:59Brooke Averick?

  FFW.

• 40:59Connor Wood?

  Yeah. Oh my god.

• 41:03Brooke Averick?

  Who cares? We all have them.

• 41:05Connor Wood?

  Yeah, but all of y'alls aren't looking at me direct, like in the face.

• 41:11Connor Wood?

  It was like, there's a snake in my boot.

• 41:15Brooke Averick?

  I feel as if you, just on account of the way that you, you don't wear underwear, the way you sit.

• 41:25Connor Wood?

  I'm not, I'm wearing underwear today.

• 41:26Brooke Averick?

  Everything about you.

• 41:27Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 41:28Brooke Averick?

  I feel like you're due for like a, a flashing at some point in your life.

• 41:35Brooke Averick?

  Like you might accidentally flash and this is you getting what? No, I feel like this is the warm up.

• 41:42Connor Wood?

  No, this is a warning.

• 41:43Brooke Averick?

  I feel like you're warming up. I feel like you're just getting started.

• 41:46Connor Wood?

  No, no, Brooke.

• 41:47Brooke Averick?

  I feel like you're just getting started.

• 41:48Connor Wood?

  This was, this was Turning Point USA. I'm putting underwear on.

• 41:50Brooke Averick?

  I feel like you're just getting started. Tell us about your golden bone hydro flask.

• 41:56Connor Wood?

  What do you mean? Like, I don't know what you mean.

• 41:57Brooke Averick?

  So you've lied, you lied to me.

• 42:00Connor Wood?

  What?

• 42:00Brooke Averick?

  You told me in a few different bonuses. Remember we spoke about GoGo Crazy Bones?

• 42:08Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 42:08Brooke Averick?

  You said you had the golden bone. If you actually had the golden bone, you would know what I'm talking about when I say you have the golden bone hydro.

• 42:14Connor Wood?

  That was when I was...

• 42:15Brooke Averick?

  You do not have a golden bone.

• 42:16Connor Wood?

  I was eight.

• 42:17Brooke Averick?

  You would remember, if you had the golden bone.

• 42:19Connor Wood?

  I had the...

• 42:20Brooke Averick?

  You would remember.

• 42:21Connor Wood?

  Brooke...

• 42:21Brooke Averick?

  I don't care how old you were.

• 42:22Connor Wood?

  I don't have the number of my childhood neighbor. I don't have his number.

• 42:27Brooke Averick?

  I don't either.

• 42:28Connor Wood?

  And if I reach out...

• 42:29Brooke Averick?

  I remember the golden bone and I didn't even have the golden bone.

• 42:31Connor Wood?

  If I reach out to him 20 years later, two decades we're talking and say, hey, can you convince my podcast co-host that I had the golden bone?

• 42:42Connor Wood?

  He's gonna block my number.

• 42:44Brooke Averick?

  I'm not asking you to do that.

• 42:46Connor Wood?

  How would I...

• 42:47Brooke Averick?

  I'm saying if you actually had the golden bone, you would know what I'm talking about when I reference golden bone.

• 42:54Connor Wood?

  I know what you're talking about when you reference the golden bone now.

• 42:57Brooke Averick?

  No, you don't, because you just said, what do you mean when you're saying golden bone?

• 43:01Connor Wood?

  Well, it could have meant anything.

• 43:02Brooke Averick?

  Couldn't have. There's only one golden bone.

• 43:05Connor Wood?

  No. There were several, because I had one and two people I know had one.

• 43:08Brooke Averick?

  No, only five ever made.

• 43:10Connor Wood?

  Okay, we have to move on. Did you see any other commercials that you?

• 43:13Brooke Averick?

  Yes.

• 43:15Connor Wood?

  What?

• 43:15Brooke Averick?

  The Dunkin' one.

• 43:17Connor Wood?

  Walk me through that, because I didn't get to see any commercials.

• 43:19Brooke Averick?

  Oh, my God, it was like all of the like major sitcom stars from the 90s. It was, well, Ben Affleck and then Jason Alexander as like, he was, I don't know if he was being George, but it was Jason Alexander, Matt LeBlanc, um...

• 43:39Brooke Averick?

  Carlton, Cheers, Urkel. It was just like all of the major players. Jennifer Aniston popped in at the end. And they were all AI'd. They were all AI'd to look like they did in the 90s. And it freaked me out.

• 43:54Connor Wood?

  Yeah, that's. Yeah, I'm sure it freaked a lot of people.

• 43:57Brooke Averick?

  Well, I was confused. I thought, I didn't realize until Jen. I thought they were just like heavily wearing a lot of makeup and then with Jen, I was like.

• 44:06Connor Wood?

  I don't know, Jen?

• 44:07Brooke Averick?

  Something's.

• 44:07Connor Wood?

  Oh, no.

• 44:08Brooke Averick?

  Jen really looks like.

• 44:10Connor Wood?

  I see.

• 44:11Brooke Averick?

  Got some.

• 44:12Connor Wood?

  I don't know if they AI'd them, cuz.

• 44:16Connor Wood?

  Cuz the guy on the right, I forget his name. What's his name on the right?

• 44:19Brooke Averick?

  Matt LeBlanc?

• 44:20Connor Wood?

  Matt LeBlanc looks old. He doesn't look like he did on Friends. That's an old man. Ben Affleck looks young.

• 44:26Brooke Averick?

  But look at Jen.

• 44:29Brooke Averick?

  And.

• 44:30Connor Wood?

  She doesn't look like Friends to me.

• 44:32Brooke Averick?

  She, but she doesn't look like she does now. Cuz she's gotten a lot of work done.

• 44:35Connor Wood?

  I think it, I think it would, I think it's less AI. I think it's more filtered.

• 44:38Brooke Averick?

  That's not makeup, though. That is either like, but like, isn't a filter AI?

• 44:45Connor Wood?

  No one knows what a filter is. But I don't think that it's AI. It's a, it's a, it's a.

• 44:51Brooke Averick?

  Man, it's a man-made effect?

• 44:53Connor Wood?

  It's just an effect.

• 44:54Brooke Averick?

  Ma- made by man?

• 44:55Connor Wood?

  No, I mean, we're walking in a gray area right now. We need to get back to the black and white.

• 45:01Connor Wood?

  Or we could just recognize that that is just like.

• 45:03Brooke Averick?

  I just think, I don't think that, I think that she, she was altered. By a computer.

• 45:09Connor Wood?

  She, she didn't have, okay, this is just like a man commenting on a woman's forehead right now, but she didn't have any lines in her forehead in Friends, did she? Aging is a blessing.

• 45:20Brooke Averick?

  She doesn't look like this now. Like, that's not her face anymore.

• 45:24Connor Wood?

  Well, can we do a side by side of her face and?

• 45:26Brooke Averick?

  That is not her current face.

• 45:27Connor Wood?

  I know. I think it's, I think it's a filter. Tom looks.

• 45:30Brooke Averick?

  A Jennifer Aniston filter?

• 45:31Connor Wood?

  So scary. Um.

• 45:35Connor Wood?

  Yeah, she looks exactly the same.

• 45:36Brooke Averick?

  She looks entirely different.

• 45:39Connor Wood?

  Look at her from Friends.

• 45:42Connor Wood?

  And look.

• 45:43Brooke Averick?

  To, to me, very different.

• 45:48Connor Wood?

  She, I mean, to me.

• 45:52Connor Wood?

  Essentially the same.

• 45:54Brooke Averick?

  That's older.

• 45:57Connor Wood?

  Yes, of course it's older.

• 46:00Connor Wood?

  Of course it's older.

• 46:01Brooke Averick?

  That, the current photo of her there is old. So it's not current. But I think there was some sort of AI at play. I do.

• 46:09Connor Wood?

  I don't think there was AI. I think that people made as much of an effort besides Svetka as they could to to avoid AI claims.

• 46:19Brooke Averick?

  Then maybe I don't know what AI is.

• 46:22Connor Wood?

  AI was what Svetka did when they just did like full-blown typed in a prompt to like a generator and it just popped out like a commercial for Svetka. And it was those like robot people. And it was really weird. There's no way that moves the needle at Svetka, right? Like it's just the stupidest thing I've ever seen in my life.

• 46:42Brooke Averick?

  I think Svetka's like toast either way you slice it.

• 46:46Connor Wood?

  It's just, I don't get it. Like, did I miss, like, and this was in every single, like, ads played today. This is making history is the first ever all AI ad. Great, and it's bad. AI doesn't like a lot of really incredible stuff, like, maybe I don't agree with it, but like it's doing cooler stuff than look at this I am legend ass commercial.

• 47:07Brooke Averick?

  Svetka might be at the point where it's like they need, like, so much support that it's like bad press is good press for them.

• 47:15Connor Wood?

  I guess we're talking about Svetka right now.

• 47:17Brooke Averick?

  Exactly.

• 47:18Connor Wood?

  It's making me it's making me, ugh.

• 47:21Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 47:22Connor Wood?

  Um, did you see the nerds one?

• 47:24Brooke Averick?

  No, I only saw the Friends one.

• 47:28Brooke Averick?

  It's Duncan.

• 47:29Connor Wood?

  Oh, um, nerds had one and it had, um, Andy Cohen on it. And everyone was like, this is so fucking weird that they'd have Jeffrey Epstein like on a commercial with all these like little baby blobs. This is so weird. Like, it was just, I had tears in my eyes reading through it. They think Andy Cohen is Jeffrey Epstein?

• 47:51Brooke Averick?

  You are so dumb. I love it. I love Nerds gummy clusters so much.

• 47:56Connor Wood?

  Nerds being like, just like you, only bigger and with a Jeffrey Epstein lookalike?

• 48:00Brooke Averick?

  He does look like him. I'm just realizing.

• 48:05Connor Wood?

  Jeff?

• 48:06Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. I love Andy, though.

• 48:08Connor Wood?

  Thought this was Epstein. Nice try, Epi. Yeah, every, every single person.

• 48:12Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, that's tough. That is tough. That's not an ideal lookalike, for sure.

• 48:18Connor Wood?

  They, they do. They do.

• 48:19Brooke Averick?

  That is tough.

• 48:20Connor Wood?

  I mean, maybe that was a good call out, actually. Now that I'm thinking about it, like a little, like a candy with like, Andy kind of does look like Jeffrey Epstein. Like, maybe that was like, maybe that would have been a good, like, thing to review before.

• 48:33Brooke Averick?

  But that's, it wouldn't be fair for Andy not to get opportunities because he looks like someone.

• 48:39Connor Wood?

  No, I'm saying opportunities with like, maybe cologne and not maybe like candy.

• 48:43Brooke Averick?

  Why not, why not candy?

• 48:44Connor Wood?

  Cause he looks like Jeffrey Epstein, kind of.

• 48:47Brooke Averick?

  But what does candy have to do with Jeffrey Epstein?

• 48:49Connor Wood?

  Halloween, trick or treat, kids. I don't know.

• 48:51Brooke Averick?

  I feel like you could do, link anything back to kids.

• 48:55Connor Wood?

  Not like Gillette fusion razors, you know, like.

• 49:00Brooke Averick?

  Razor blades in your tuxedo rolls.

• 49:02Connor Wood?

  Oh.

• 49:04Connor Wood?

  Um, okay, let me think.

• 49:08Brooke Averick?

  We could play this game. We could play this game all day. Toy.

• 49:14Brooke Averick?

  Play this game all day, but we don't need to.

• 49:18Connor Wood?

  Ford.

• 49:19Brooke Averick?

  We don't need to.

• 49:21Connor Wood?

  Ford.

• 49:21Brooke Averick?

  Four years old.

• 49:25Brooke Averick?

  So dumb. Okay.

• 49:30Brooke Averick?

  Connor, Connor, Connor, Connor, Connor.

• 49:34Connor Wood?

  Beer!

• 49:37Brooke Averick?

  A, B, A, B, C, D, alphabet.

• 49:41Brooke Averick?

  But you could also do that with every letter.

• 49:45Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 49:47Connor Wood?

  All right, we gotta clip that. That was really fun.

• 49:49Brooke Averick?

  Do you think it was appropriate?

• 49:51Connor Wood?

  Yes!

• 49:54Brooke Averick?

  Okay, moving on.

• 49:56Connor Wood?

  Um, I have more stuff.

• 49:57Brooke Averick?

  Me too. Well, I mean, again, I watched a TV show.

• 50:01Connor Wood?

  Ooh.

• 50:02Brooke Averick?

  His and hers. Have you seen it?

• 50:04Connor Wood?

  Um, no.

• 50:04Brooke Averick?

  It's a big one. I think a lot of people are watching.

• 50:11Connor Wood?

  What?

• 50:12Speaker 04

  Clean up your mess?

• 50:14Brooke Averick?

  It's known for like being like, at least the general consensus that I've heard. You're heading out?

• 50:21Connor Wood?

  I'm just getting some paper towels.

• 50:22Brooke Averick?

  Should I keep talking?

• 50:23Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 50:25Brooke Averick?

  The general consensus is that it was not a good show, but the last episode ever almost like, what the fuck? Like you guys need to watch this just to get to the last episode because it's like, so what the fuck? And so I watched to confirm.

• 50:40Connor Wood?

  Who's in it?

• 50:44Brooke Averick?

  That, I don't know his name.

• 50:46Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 50:46Brooke Averick?

  What's, uh, what's the main guy's name? Is he, do you know? John?

• 50:57Brooke Averick?

  John Ber- it's, it's, I don't, I don't think anyone that you would know was in it. But, what? His and hers?

• 51:11Brooke Averick?

  But I will say that like, when I got to the end, I was like, yeah, that is definitely John Bertholm. It was definitely something.

• 51:19Connor Wood?

  Oh.

• 51:20Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. It's only like six episodes and it's like one of those like classic like thriller mini-series.

• 51:28Connor Wood?

  Okay, cool.

• 51:28Brooke Averick?

  Who done it?

• 51:29Connor Wood?

  I'll look into it.

• 51:30Brooke Averick?

  And

• 51:32Brooke Averick?

  it's definitely, it's very entertaining.

• 51:35Brooke Averick?

  It what, like during the end, like when the like plot twist or whatever was revealed, it was one of those situations where it was more of like a verbal, like, no. Nah. Not gonna happen.

• 51:47Connor Wood?

  Two estranged spouses, one detective and another, a news reporter vie to solve a murder in which each believes the other is a prime suspect.

• 51:56Brooke Averick?

  I wouldn't say that.

• 51:59Brooke Averick?

  This is interesting because Google, I think this is AI, this is where why AI is bad. That's not what it's about.

• 52:07Connor Wood?

  That's from Google users, though. That's not even.

• 52:10Brooke Averick?

  But I think that's AI capturing everything and summarizing it.

• 52:14Connor Wood?

  You know what's so interesting? I was actually thinking about this today because I read this article that's being like hawked all over my Twitter. And it's like this huge thing that this guy posted about like, he's kind of like a whistleblower for AI and he's like working on it. And I'm always interested when the people that work on things are like warning us about the things that they're working on, like Flappy Bird. Bad example, but he's like, oh, like we're in the period of like no return. It's like, threat. There's like, it's like threatening to blackmail when like kill the people that are running the program when they say they're gonna unplug it and stuff. And I'm just like,

• 52:56Connor Wood?

  like, why did AI have to be evil? Like, why is the outcome of everything that we're working on right now bad?

• 53:01Brooke Averick?

  Well, it sucks because like some AI things are good, like the talking foods that tell you how to use them.

• 53:07Connor Wood?

  Right.

• 53:09Brooke Averick?

  But it's too powerful. And with great power comes great responsibility and it usually falls into the wrong hands.

• 53:17Connor Wood?

  Just so well said. You've been really well said today.

• 53:20Brooke Averick?

  Thank you.

• 53:22Connor Wood?

  Yeah, we need regulate, but like, what's that gonna do? Everything recently has been just like, oh, we made an amazing advancement. And we're using it to make bombs. It's like, and then this dude that like just solved pancreatic cancer. Did you see he like, he cured it? He's up for the Nobel Peace Prize, but he doesn't have funding. He's like doing a GoFundMe.

• 53:44Brooke Averick?

  No.

• 53:45Connor Wood?

  Yes.

• 53:47Brooke Averick?

  No.

• 53:47Connor Wood?

  Yes. He's doing a GoFund.

• 53:50Brooke Averick?

  And pancreatic cancer is like,

• 53:52Connor Wood?

  You die.

• 53:54Brooke Averick?

  Like one of the most lethal.

• 53:56Connor Wood?

  Yeah. Um, so he cured it. And you know what's so funny? This is how you know the internet is just like, not a good place. People are still like on his comments being like bullying him. Like someone's got, everyone's got some shit to say.

• 54:12Brooke Averick?

  Everyone's got shit to say and most people shouldn't speak.

• 54:15Connor Wood?

  He's up for the Nobel Peace Prize, so.

• 54:16Brooke Averick?

  That's good. I'm glad. I haven't seen anything about that.

• 54:21Brooke Averick?

  Which is probably, we should probably cut that.

• 54:24Connor Wood?

  No, no, no, no.

• 54:24Brooke Averick?

  Cause like I should be seeing stuff like that.

• 54:26Connor Wood?

  I'm on like a really interesting place. I'm also on another, another AI thing that I was like, this is crazy is did you see, did you see all these commercials that Ring came out with like an opt-in? They did a commercial about losing your dog and about how Ring cameras now have a technology where if you lose your job, it pings all of the Ring cameras in your neighborhood to use AI to locate your dog. You upload a picture of your dog and then it like recognizes and submits it and like helps you.

• 54:59Brooke Averick?

  Right.

• 54:59Connor Wood?

  Get reconnect. Well, no, that's like.

• 55:01Brooke Averick?

  Oh, bad.

• 55:02Connor Wood?

  It's bad.

• 55:03Brooke Averick?

  Bad. That's what I.

• 55:04Connor Wood?

  Well, they just like they, I guess like, and I'm just reading responses here, but I guess the whole thing was like, this is surveillance state.

• 55:12Brooke Averick?

  Oh, yeah.

• 55:15Connor Wood?

  Because now AI can be, if you opt into this thing, and probably not if you opt into it as well, you can, it's just looking at, and I hope I'm not coming out as conspiracy theorist, but like it is, it's recognizing faces, it's reporting.

• 55:30Brooke Averick?

  Well, I can do all that, but it took them so long to recover the footage of Savannah Guthrie's mom's.

• 55:37Connor Wood?

  What's going on with that?

• 55:38Brooke Averick?

  It is the most insane real life story that I have ever consumed.

• 55:44Connor Wood?

  Okay, so.

• 55:45Brooke Averick?

  It is so upset, deeply upsetting and just wild.

• 55:48Connor Wood?

  Good Morning America, right?

• 55:49Brooke Averick?

  Yes. You know, I got confused.

• 55:51Connor Wood?

  USA Today?

• 55:52Brooke Averick?

  Today Show, but I think it's Today Show.

• 55:55Connor Wood?

  So she.

• 55:56Brooke Averick?

  Her mother was abducted from her home in Tucson, Arizona.

• 56:01Brooke Averick?

  Abduct, like abducted by a masked man.

• 56:03Connor Wood?

  A ransom situation?

• 56:05Brooke Averick?

  It is, but I'm also kind of confused because they asked for money, right? It's also not clear if like the person asking for money is actually the person that abducted her. I think it's more of like a statement than it is like they want money, which is why they went for somebody with such close ties to the news.

• 56:28Brooke Averick?

  Like they're making some sort of statement, which was really scary. I don't know.

• 56:31Connor Wood?

  Why is it unclear?

• 56:33Brooke Averick?

  I don't know.

• 56:33Connor Wood?

  It's so weird when there's not a motive because it's like, let us know what you need from us, you know?

• 56:39Brooke Averick?

  So, yeah, I mean, they're offering like millions for her

• 56:42Connor Wood?

  Sure.

• 56:43Brooke Averick?

  return and she's still missing, so.

• 56:47Brooke Averick?

  It's really sad and scary. And I'm, I'm really praying that she comes home soon, but

• 56:54Connor Wood?

  Oh, that's not fun.

• 56:55Brooke Averick?

  No, it's like going on two weeks now.

• 56:59Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I saw the pictures last night from Ring.

• 57:01Brooke Averick?

  So scary.

• 57:02Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 57:04Brooke Averick?

  But that's what I'm saying, like, why, like, did it take that long? Like, Ring is so technologically advanced that we're doing full surveillance, but it takes that long to get buried footage?

• 57:14Connor Wood?

  It's a good question. I don't know. I can't answer that.

• 57:15Brooke Averick?

  Thanks.

• 57:16Connor Wood?

  Um, I did see someone comment.

• 57:20Connor Wood?

  You know what Grok is, right? On like Twitter?

• 57:25Brooke Averick?

  The robot?

• 57:26Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 57:26Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 57:27Connor Wood?

  Someone was like, at Grok, use AI to remove the mask and show us who's, who this is. And I was like, what? Like, how would that work?

• 57:36Brooke Averick?

  I bet that person thought they just cracked the case wide open.

• 57:39Connor Wood?

  They're like, if no one else is gonna do it.

• 57:40Brooke Averick?

  If no one else is gonna ask, let me be the one to

• 57:42Connor Wood?

  Grok, like, what are we, what are we doing here? Like, this is taking so long. Grok, remove the mask.

• 57:47Brooke Averick?

  This is

• 57:47Connor Wood?

  Isn't it funny? A mask that you can get to go skiing at the store is just enough to be like, you could do whatever you want and not get caught?

• 57:54Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. And you never know, like, if you're a person on the other side of that register, when someone's buying a mask, like, you don't know if it's gonna be used for good or evil.

• 58:02Connor Wood?

  You have to ask.

• 58:05Brooke Averick?

  What will you be using this mask for today?

• 58:07Connor Wood?

  What are you gonna do?

• 58:10Connor Wood?

  Where are you gonna put this on at?

• 58:13Connor Wood?

  Skiing. We have a surprise birthday party.

• 58:18Brooke Averick?

  Ooh, I keep getting chills.

• 58:20Connor Wood?

  No, stop.

• 58:21Brooke Averick?

  Thinking of that stuff.

• 58:24Connor Wood?

  No, you don't get chills, you're so sexy.

• 58:26Brooke Averick?

  Sexy.

• 58:30Brooke Averick?

  There's a new game. Crossplay, it's like Words with Friends. You're familiar?

• 58:37Connor Wood?

  No, I have something to say.

• 58:39Brooke Averick?

  It's like Words with Friends, but through the New York Times app. It's ruining my life. Like, it's all I do, and it feels like work, because it's like, a puzzle and you know, uses brain power.

• 58:52Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 58:52Brooke Averick?

  So, it's just like been so horrible for my screen time. And I've got like sixteen games going at once. I've got six with Kat, four with Marshall, two with Miles, eighteen with Sodi. And it's just a full-time fucking job, man.

• 59:08Connor Wood?

  Hey.

• 59:11Brooke Averick?

  It is a full-time job.

• 59:16Brooke Averick?

  Okay, what were you gonna say?

• 59:19Connor Wood?

  Oh my gosh, did you see the dude at the Olympics? Who like, won bronze?

• 59:25Brooke Averick?

  Oh. My god, the one that announced, just started sobbing and was like, I did cheat on my girlfriend? I want to be, make one thing very clear, cheating on my girlfriend?

• 59:36Connor Wood?

  I mean, the group chat's going berserk.

• 59:45Brooke Averick?

  Different language.

• 59:46Connor Wood?

  Oh.

• 59:49Speaker 05

  That's what, uh, that was first order, my darling. Oh, we talk all the small Europe my time.

• 59:56Brooke Averick?

  Oh wait, we should be, we should be saying what he's saying.

• 59:59Connor Wood?

  Oh, sorry.

• 1:00:02Connor Wood?

  Hang on. Sorry, y'all.

• 1:00:04Brooke Averick?

  Okay. He's just, we didn't miss anything yet.

• 1:00:07Connor Wood?

  He's saying it's great, it's my first, it's my first medal. He won bronze. And then you can kind of see the waterworks start to bubble up.

• 1:00:16Brooke Averick?

  Well, he's trying to force him out, for sure.

• 1:00:18Connor Wood?

  Uh, no, I think he's like, do I, am I gonna do this right here? Am I gonna do this right?

• 1:00:22Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I think he's calculated.

• 1:00:24Connor Wood?

  Oh, really?

• 1:00:25Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 1:00:25Connor Wood?

  I think this is a pathetic act of, like, I'm gonna put it all out on the line. Now, it could be manipulative.

• 1:00:32Brooke Averick?

  I think it's manipulative.

• 1:00:33Connor Wood?

  Depending on how you're looking at it. But you don't do this on the world stage, you really don't.

• 1:00:37Brooke Averick?

  You do if you're like...

• 1:00:41Connor Wood?

  This is a true act of desperation.

• 1:00:46Brooke Averick?

  I think manipulation.

• 1:00:48Connor Wood?

  Okay, I guess we'll see.

• 1:00:49Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, it's tough because we can't understand the tone.

• 1:00:53Connor Wood?

  I want to hear what she says. I want her to say something. Okay.

• 1:01:01Connor Wood?

  Great day of skiing, my whole family for supporting me. I wanted to share this with, oh, he's starting to cry, watching today.

• 1:01:10Brooke Averick?

  Might not be watching today. Six months ago, I met the love of my life, most beautiful, wonderful person in the world. Here we go, he is crying. And three months ago, I made the biggest mistake of my life, cheated on her. And that's all I've been thinking about for a week. Just thinking about it for the last week, did it three months ago. Been the worst week of my life. Okay, how about three months ago when you did it? So I had a gold medal in life. I'm sure there are many people out there now see me in a different light. But I only have eyes for her. I'm not quite sure what I want to say here now.

• 1:01:52Connor Wood?

  That's good. I think you nailed it.

• 1:01:55Brooke Averick?

  Me?

• 1:01:56Connor Wood?

  No, no, no, he said, I don't know what I want to say here now. I think you did.

• 1:02:00Brooke Averick?

  I'm like pretty stuck on the like, he's not mad he did it, he's just mad he got caught.

• 1:02:06Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 1:02:06Brooke Averick?

  Because he's just been ruminating on it for the past week and he did it three months ago.

• 1:02:11Connor Wood?

  He's Norwegian.

• 1:02:12Brooke Averick?

  I don't care if he is the president.

• 1:02:17Connor Wood?

  Good example.

• 1:02:23Connor Wood?

  That's always like, that's always like, like, I came up yesterday, I was in a meeting and I was like, you know, like a lot of things can be transformative, like you look how people age, like when you're the president. And they were like, and I was like, that was a bad example. Um, but yeah, president is, I think it's like a hard example to have. You don't care if he's...

• 1:02:47Brooke Averick?

  I don't have the end to that sentence. What I'm saying is I don't care what the hell he is.

• 1:02:53Connor Wood?

  What if he's a flying pig?

• 1:02:54Brooke Averick?

  I have no, I have a zero tolerance policy for cheating.

• 1:02:57Connor Wood?

  Yeah. To do it in the world, I don't know. I don't think he's gonna get her back.

• 1:03:03Brooke Averick?

  No.

• 1:03:03Connor Wood?

  I didn't realize.

• 1:03:04Brooke Averick?

  I would be so angry.

• 1:03:06Connor Wood?

  I didn't realize he was gonna timestamp everything live.

• 1:03:10Brooke Averick?

  I would be so angry if someone cheated on me and then went on television to tell everyone they cheated on me.

• 1:03:15Connor Wood?

  It kinda feels like when you propose at like a sporting event and everyone's looking and it's like.

• 1:03:19Brooke Averick?

  Oh, ex-girlfriend response. "It is hard to forgive, even after an declaration of love in front of the whole world. I did not choose to end up in the situation and it hurts to have, to be in it. We have been in contact and he is aware of my views on this.

• 1:03:31Brooke Averick?

  Much love to Sterling. You go, girl. You are my Olympian.

• 1:03:36Connor Wood?

  You don't know her culture, or not her culture, her, her character.

• 1:03:41Brooke Averick?

  I, but I, just like I support her based off of the position.

• 1:03:45Connor Wood?

  She might abuse animals.

• 1:03:47Brooke Averick?

  Sterling does not do that.

• 1:03:48Connor Wood?

  And she might, she might.

• 1:03:49Brooke Averick?

  Do not talk about Sterling that way.

• 1:03:51Connor Wood?

  She might. I'm just saying, we can't jump to conclusions.

• 1:03:53Brooke Averick?

  Well, you are so adamant on defending this guy.

• 1:03:57Connor Wood?

  No, I all.

• 1:03:58Brooke Averick?

  Oh, absolutely.

• 1:03:59Connor Wood?

  No, no, no.

• 1:03:59Brooke Averick?

  Oh, absolutely.

• 1:04:00Connor Wood?

  See, what I'm, I'm curious about is

• 1:04:06Connor Wood?

  him telling her a week before he goes to the Olympics.

• 1:04:10Brooke Averick?

  I don't think, I, I would imagine that he got caught. I don't think he planned on telling her.

• 1:04:15Connor Wood?

  I told her a week ago and it ended.

• 1:04:16Brooke Averick?

  I'm sure he, yeah.

• 1:04:18Connor Wood?

  Okay, I see, I see what you mean. Oh, okay.

• 1:04:21Brooke Averick?

  He got caught and had to admit it.

• 1:04:24Connor Wood?

  Wow, that's a.

• 1:04:25Brooke Averick?

  Otherwise, why wait months?

• 1:04:27Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 1:04:29Connor Wood?

  Also, so, so they started dating six months ago. He cheats three months ago.

• 1:04:34Brooke Averick?

  Mm-hmm. Timeline's fucked.

• 1:04:37Connor Wood?

  So they were dating for three months. Three months is so quick.

• 1:04:44Connor Wood?

  I don't know.

• 1:04:44Brooke Averick?

  You're saying that it's so early on in the relationship that it's fine?

• 1:04:48Connor Wood?

  No, I'm not saying it's fine.

• 1:04:49Brooke Averick?

  But it's forgivable?

• 1:04:51Connor Wood?

  No, I'm not saying it's forgivable either. I'm just like, this is like a lot of,

• 1:04:56Connor Wood?

  even for six months ago and cry on, I'm like,

• 1:05:00Connor Wood?

  you, you messed up. I think we maybe, you just take this one to the chest and you move forward with your life. Six months, you lost.

• 1:05:07Brooke Averick?

  I hope.

• 1:05:08Connor Wood?

  Unless it's legitimate.

• 1:05:09Brooke Averick?

  That she doesn't get bad with him. Unless that's what she wants, because I support her agency.

• 1:05:15Connor Wood?

  No, Sterling is, is, I would say more well spoken than, let's see.

• 1:05:22Connor Wood?

  Oh, no, that is Sterling. His girlfriend is more well spoken and

• 1:05:26Brooke Averick?

  It has been the worst week of my life. I told her a week ago that it ended. I'm not ready to give up. I hope that committing social suicide can perhaps show how highly I love her. I am taking the consequences for what I have done. I regret it with all my heart.

• 1:05:40Brooke Averick?

  Like, I'm, it doesn't move me.

• 1:05:45Brooke Averick?

  I'm accepting the consequences, bare minimum.

• 1:05:50Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 1:05:53Brooke Averick?

  Anyway, it was nice seeing you today.

• 1:05:55Connor Wood?

  Hey, you too. What a note to end on. Why can't I get like this saying out of my head?

• 1:06:02Brooke Averick?

  What saying?

• 1:06:02Connor Wood?

  Like potato, potato. What is that from?

• 1:06:06Brooke Averick?

  I don't know.

• 1:06:07Connor Wood?

  Potato, potato. We don't know?

• 1:06:10Brooke Averick?

  Oh, the 1937 Gershwin song, Let's Call the Whole Thing Off.

• 1:06:14Connor Wood?

  Oh, my God.

• 1:06:14Brooke Averick?

  Oh, you're thinking of potato, potato? That's let's call the, no. What you just did. No to what you just did.

• 1:06:21Connor Wood?

  We gotta go. This is just like not.

• 1:06:24Brooke Averick?

  Wiped his face with this random ass coaster.

• 1:06:27Connor Wood?

  Random ass coaster, the coaster I use every week?

• 1:06:30Brooke Averick?

  You didn't need to.

• 1:06:31Connor Wood?

  Where do coasters go?

• 1:06:33Brooke Averick?

  On the table.

• 1:06:35Brooke Averick?

  See you in bonus.

• 1:06:36Connor Wood?

  Bye, guys.
