• 1:07Connor Wood?

  Are we recording the episode?

• 1:08Brooke Averick?

  See, that's what I'm saying.

• 1:09Connor Wood?

  No, no, no, no, no. I have something that I thought about this morning.

• 1:14Connor Wood?

  I was getting up. Was cleaning the oatmeal off my pants. Because I'd spilled a lot in my lap. Isn't it funny when you stand up, your lap disappears?

• 1:25Brooke Averick?

  Your bangs are out today.

• 1:26Connor Wood?

  Oh. What do they look like? I refuse to record with my entire team in front of me saying with their chest they look fine?

• 1:37Brooke Averick?

  No, I think, you know, I...

• 1:38Connor Wood?

  And then to see in clips posted to the entire internet that they did not in fact look fine.

• 1:44Brooke Averick?

  You know, I think you should brush your bangs back.

• 1:48Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 1:50Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's perfect.

• 1:52Connor Wood?

  I had my hair down in the car today.

• 1:54Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:55Connor Wood?

  In my Jetta.

• 1:55Brooke Averick?

  Hair up.

• 1:58Connor Wood?

  Let me just double check because...

• 1:59Brooke Averick?

  No, that looks great.

• 2:17Brooke Averick?

  No, you just put them back down.

• 2:18Connor Wood?

  No, I just put, I put a little wispy's down. You don't like the wispy's?

• 2:22Brooke Averick?

  No, it's not, there's a, there's a thicker.

• 2:24Connor Wood?

  This part?

• 2:25Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, put that back.

• 2:29Brooke Averick?

  No, like you did before. Yeah.

• 2:32Connor Wood?

  I just feel like it gives it too much volume when I zuz it like that.

• 2:36Brooke Averick?

  No, you need your hair back off of your face so we can see your beautiful face.

• 2:40Connor Wood?

  Oh my god. Okay.

• 2:43Brooke Averick?

  Sorry, you were saying?

• 2:44Connor Wood?

  No, no, no, it's good. It's just like, it's weird that I'll never be able to explore a world with bangs because like

• 2:48Brooke Averick?

  You've tried.

• 2:49Connor Wood?

  Unanimously, like, no one thinks they look good and it's just, it's just weird that like

• 2:53Brooke Averick?

  Not, hey, listen, man, not everyone is

• 2:56Connor Wood?

  I know, but it's just weird that like, I see my face every single day, like, I sit in the mirror, I know my face, I know the way it's shaved and I go, yeah, I like this, like, this is fun and like, 100% Not one person on the planet

• 3:10Brooke Averick?

  You know why?

• 3:10Connor Wood?

  Likes it.

• 3:11Brooke Averick?

  Because no one has an accurate understanding of how they look.

• 3:15Connor Wood?

  Ju- it's just

• 3:16Brooke Averick?

  Like, you have a different understanding of the way you look that makes you think like, "Yeah, I'm gonna do these bangs."

• 3:23Brooke Averick?

  And then everyone else can let you know, like, "No, champ."

• 3:28Connor Wood?

  It's just crazy, the, the conviction with which people are like, "What are you doing?" You know, it's, it's not even like a hesitation, it's like, "How dare you?"

• 3:35Brooke Averick?

  Well, even just in general, like, men don't wear their hair like that.

• 3:38Connor Wood?

  Man, some men have bangs.

• 3:40Brooke Averick?

  Not like that. Not like that.

• 3:42Connor Wood?

  What do you mean?

• 3:42Brooke Averick?

  You're, you were doing like a, a thick Zooey Deschanel bang.

• 3:48Connor Wood?

  It was like a nice classy, like, um, Ian Somerhalder bang.

• 3:53Brooke Averick?

  No, he has like Justin Bieber like hair, you have curlier hair.

• 3:58Connor Wood?

  It's pretty straight today.

• 3:59Brooke Averick?

  No.

• 3:59Connor Wood?

  Watch. You know, this is giving Ian Summerholder?

• 4:03Brooke Averick?

  I don't, it's not a match. It's not, yeah, that's different.

• 4:08Connor Wood?

  How?

• 4:09Brooke Averick?

  That's going, that's, I'm sorry.

• 4:10Connor Wood?

  How is it different?

• 4:11Brooke Averick?

  That's different.

• 4:12Connor Wood?

  I don't see how it's different at all.

• 4:13Brooke Averick?

  It just is.

• 4:14Connor Wood?

  That's exactly.

• 4:14Brooke Averick?

  And you know what, can I be honest? On the one hand, like, yeah, he can pull it off. On the other hand, he should push his hair back.

• 4:20Connor Wood?

  Really?

• 4:20Brooke Averick?

  Yes. I don't think I've seen a man with bangs where I'm like, yeah, keep them. Keep your hair like that.

• 4:27Connor Wood?

  We've gone over this. You've seen several men with bangs.

• 4:30Brooke Averick?

  No, that's a different thing. I think it was a soul patch we were looking into.

• 4:34Connor Wood?

  It was a soul patch?

• 4:35Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 4:36Connor Wood?

  God, I can't do either.

• 4:38Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, no, he should, Timothy Chalamet should push his hair back in this photo. Yeah.

• 4:45Connor Wood?

  Um, I think Leonardo DiCaprio.

• 4:48Brooke Averick?

  Can I be, it's a little bit different when, it's a little bit different.

• 4:50Connor Wood?

  Why?

• 4:51Brooke Averick?

  Cause he has straight hair.

• 4:53Connor Wood?

  Oh, okay.

• 4:54Brooke Averick?

  Connor Story can do bangs. Cause he's like, he's a different vibe.

• 5:00Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 5:01Brooke Averick?

  We can keep exploring.

• 5:04Connor Wood?

  No, I just think that, like, there needs to be a solution that, like, everyone is on board with, and it needs to include some bang for me.

• 5:14Brooke Averick?

  You sometimes have, I, when you have wisps.

• 5:17Connor Wood?

  Wisps.

• 5:18Brooke Averick?

  That's fine. You can't do a full, thick.

• 5:21Connor Wood?

  Bob.

• 5:21Brooke Averick?

  Like, yeah, you're doing like, micro bangs.

• 5:24Connor Wood?

  Like micro bob?

• 5:25Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. You can't be doing that. I can't do that. Not a lot of people can do that.

• 5:32Connor Wood?

  So you, like, the wet look, I could do the wet look.

• 5:36Brooke Averick?

  No one said anything about a wet look. What do you mean, wet look?

• 5:41Connor Wood?

  I don't know, maybe I get out of the water.

• 5:43Brooke Averick?

  I'm sure, everyone's hair is different wet. Yeah. You can totally do a wet look.

• 5:48Connor Wood?

  This is my hair wet, wet.

• 5:51Brooke Averick?

  But.

• 5:51Connor Wood?

  Izzy? Calling in the troops? Do you know what I'm talking about? This is my hair a little wet. This is my hair wet, wet.

• 5:58Brooke Averick?

  Does Jack Martin have bangs?

• 6:00Connor Wood?

  Jack Martin has had bangs.

• 6:02Brooke Averick?

  But he has that straight, silken hair, you know?

• 6:05Connor Wood?

  He's also got.

• 6:05Brooke Averick?

  And he pushes it back.

• 6:06Connor Wood?

  He could do anything he wants, obviously, with his.

• 6:10Brooke Averick?

  See, but he has like, he does wisps. He's not doing full blunt bob.

• 6:15Connor Wood?

  Can you click on that second picture of him and the, uh?

• 6:18Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, that's scary.

• 6:19Connor Wood?

  It's, this is one of the, like, if I saw this photo on shrooms, I would cry.

• 6:25Brooke Averick?

  They are identical.

• 6:26Connor Wood?

  I mean, it would freak me out, like.

• 6:29Brooke Averick?

  So.

• 6:30Connor Wood?

  I would, it would scare me. That's, the outfit on the right is probably one of the biggest atrocities that has ever happened to mankind.

• 6:38Brooke Averick?

  I wonder, listen, I love the guy.

• 6:41Connor Wood?

  Me too.

• 6:43Brooke Averick?

  I wonder what he thinks about it, looking back.

• 6:45Connor Wood?

  He legitimately looks like, hey, we saw you from across the bar. We loved your vibe.

• 6:52Brooke Averick?

  It's so, and again, like this is an example of someone trying something.

• 6:56Connor Wood?

  Yes.

• 6:56Brooke Averick?

  You can always do.

• 6:57Connor Wood?

  I know, I know, I know, I know. But what I'm excited about is that I, every time I've tried banging, someone has stepped in because I have good relationships, good, healthy relationships. He has someone out to get him and this.

• 7:09Brooke Averick?

  Maybe it looked different in person.

• 7:10Connor Wood?

  I, I can't imagine it. I can't imagine.

• 7:16Brooke Averick?

  Anyway, what were you saying before I interrupted you?

• 7:20Connor Wood?

  Oh, what an amazing callback and what an amazing thing that I'm remembering what I was gonna say. I was just cleaning something off my lap earlier and I'm sitting up, I'm going like this and I'm like, where's my lap? When you stand up, lap no longer exists when you're standing.

• 7:37Brooke Averick?

  Are you sure?

• 7:39Connor Wood?

  This?

• 7:47Brooke Averick?

  For those of you who aren't, who aren't on the studio, the way that the Kelly Clarkson just breathed out a long, exhausted sigh when Connor stood up.

• 8:07Connor Wood?

  So long.

• 8:08Brooke Averick?

  Like miserable. Okay.

• 8:12Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 8:12Connor Wood?

  I know.

• 8:13Brooke Averick?

  Can we look up the definition of lap?

• 8:17Connor Wood?

  Lap can only exist while sitting.

• 8:19Brooke Averick?

  A lap generally does not exist when standing. Lap is defined as the horizontal surface form between the knees and the waist of a person. Awesome.

• 8:27Connor Wood?

  Yeah, sit on my, yeah, sit on my lap.

• 8:30Brooke Averick?

  Right. You couldn't sit on your lap.

• 8:31Connor Wood?

  You can't sit on my front.

• 8:32Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 8:34Connor Wood?

  On my front piece.

• 8:35Brooke Averick?

  Nice, nice, nice, nice, nice.

• 8:36Connor Wood?

  When you're standing, it is just your frontal.

• 8:37Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 8:38Connor Wood?

  Your full frontal. So that's really just the only thing that I thought about this morning. And it's been a little bit crazy of a morning because I like hop on Twitter. There was a world when I used to hop on Twitter and like, I'm like, oh, there's some fun stuff for Brooke and I to talk about. Today, um.

• 8:58Connor Wood?

  Will be known as potentially the, our, like, the podcast that comes out with the announcement of World War III, which is kind of fun, because we just talked about.

• 9:08Brooke Averick?

  Are you starting your manga early?

• 9:10Connor Wood?

  I'm gonna get it out of the way.

• 9:11Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 9:12Connor Wood?

  Yeah, but that's just like, what everyone's kind of talking about right now.

• 9:16Brooke Averick?

  But everyone talks about that all the time.

• 9:19Connor Wood?

  I know, it's a big day for the people that are-

• 9:20Brooke Averick?

  And I think that you've been engaging with that type of content, or it's like, I'd be shocked if your Twitter page was anything but.

• 9:27Connor Wood?

  There is some fun stuff, like-

• 9:32Brooke Averick?

  I haven't opened Twitter in like, months, let me see what mine is.

• 9:35Connor Wood?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 9:36Brooke Averick?

  For example, like, I'm telling you, like, you're skewed.

• 9:39Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I do get, I do get real-

• 9:45Brooke Averick?

  No offense, but this Ilya body count discourse is outing y'all as virgins, because what do you mean you think his body count is 30? That's my first tweet.

• 9:55Brooke Averick?

  Ilya, I'm in the Ilya body count space, discourse space.

• 9:59Connor Wood?

  Okay, mine is-

• 9:59Brooke Averick?

  Carpenter music video, Sydney Sweeney, interesting.

• 10:06Connor Wood?

  I can't decide if it's-

• 10:07Brooke Averick?

  Sydney Sweeney boob job conspiracy.

• 10:10Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 10:11Brooke Averick?

  Who is this? Oh, this is Paul.

• 10:16Connor Wood?

  Okay, I see, yeah, I need to stop doing that, I guess.

• 10:18Brooke Averick?

  So-

• 10:19Connor Wood?

  I think maybe Twitter first thing in the morning is like, before I've, I guess it is like, reading the newspaper, though. I can't decide if it's good for me, or like, really effing me up.

• 10:27Brooke Averick?

  I think effing.

• 10:28Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 10:31Connor Wood?

  Yeah, interesting.

• 10:31Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Anyway, I wanted to show you this, I've total, and I'm sorry that this is a visual component, but I have a total new ecosystem, that I think like, you would want.

• 10:41Connor Wood?

  It's looking so fat.

• 10:44Brooke Averick?

  Well, because remember I told you, like, you can, you get these like, leather things, and you stick multiple notebooks in them?

• 10:49Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 10:50Brooke Averick?

  So this is the, my leather-

• 10:51Connor Wood?

  Brooke.

• 10:52Brooke Averick?

  -portfolio thing that I made.

• 10:53Connor Wood?

  The way-

• 10:54Brooke Averick?

  Look, wait, first of all, you need to close, here it is closed.

• 10:57Connor Wood?

  You have-

• 10:58Brooke Averick?

  Okay, check this out.

• 10:58Connor Wood?

  100% manifested in real life.

• 11:04Connor Wood?

  The chocolate episode of SpongeBob where they're selling the bag within the bag.

• 11:08Brooke Averick?

  No.

• 11:09Connor Wood?

  Yes, that's it.

• 11:09Brooke Averick?

  It's not the same thing.

• 11:10Connor Wood?

  It's a, it's a journal within a holder, within a holder, within a bigger journal.

• 11:14Brooke Averick?

  It's just a way to keep all of your journals connected because look, here's my one journal. You open it, just kidding, there's three in here.

• 11:22Connor Wood?

  Kind of like when they unzipped the big bag and there was a bunch of little bags of chocolate.

• 11:25Brooke Averick?

  The Hobonichi, here's this little pouch that I keep random shit in, okay? This is my diary.

• 11:32Connor Wood?

  Beauty.

• 11:32Brooke Averick?

  Okay, and now here's my dream journal, so I can keep them all in one spot. Cause weren't you saying you need to, cause you grabbed the wrong journal the other day?

• 11:41Connor Wood?

  Yes.

• 11:42Brooke Averick?

  You would not grab the wrong journal if you just had both of them on hand to me.

• 11:45Connor Wood?

  I know, you know that I'm gonna do this too.

• 11:47Brooke Averick?

  Get one piece?

• 11:48Connor Wood?

  I'm gonna do this, yeah.

• 11:48Brooke Averick?

  Are you?

• 11:49Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 11:50Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 11:51Connor Wood?

  Cause I'm starting to hate my phone.

• 11:53Brooke Averick?

  I am, I, literally this has changed my life.

• 11:55Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 11:55Brooke Averick?

  Like the way I'm writing in my journal so much because I like the way it looks and the way that I'm, I said, I need to get another little journal to add something because I need more things to write. Now I have a dream journal.

• 12:08Brooke Averick?

  And now I'm saving random ass shit like my cow cards. Yeah, I have only one dream in here that I can't share. It's not really politically correct.

• 12:16Connor Wood?

  Is your subconscious being cancelable?

• 12:19Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. I think I would get in trouble if I read this, but it's not my fault.

• 12:24Connor Wood?

  It's not.

• 12:27Connor Wood?

  It's the inner mechanisms of your.

• 12:28Brooke Averick?

  I don't know, I don't know if this is, oh, I can read it in the bonus. Like, I'm not sure if this is, it's not my fault.

• 12:35Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I mean, I had a dream last night, which I know no one, no one could give one less of a shit about. But I was just like in my hotel room and when I, I was like kind of lucid, cause it's like Christmas Eve, every time we record the podcast, I'm so excited to get here that like, I don't want to miss it, you know? So I'm like up kind of, and I'm like thinking about what we could talk about. And then I kind of go to sleep and I come to, I'm lucid and I'm in my hotel room, but it was my, like our game room in my parents' house. And I looked to my left and my dog, who's now passed away, is there in my dream. And so I go speak to him because he's laying in kind of a weird, weird way.

• 13:15Brooke Averick?

  Did your dog ever die?

• 13:18Connor Wood?

  Yeah, the, yeah.

• 13:19Brooke Averick?

  Saki?

• 13:20Connor Wood?

  Yeah, Saki died.

• 13:21Brooke Averick?

  Did you tell us?

• 13:22Connor Wood?

  I don't know.

• 13:22Brooke Averick?

  I, I think you just let it go.

• 13:25Connor Wood?

  Yeah. He, he passed on.

• 13:28Brooke Averick?

  You never said a word.

• 13:30Connor Wood?

  Oh yeah, I'm sorry.

• 13:31Brooke Averick?

  Was that like a year ago at this point?

• 13:33Connor Wood?

  Not quite.

• 13:35Brooke Averick?

  Did him and Max ever overlap?

• 13:37Connor Wood?

  No.

• 13:37Brooke Averick?

  I must remember him dying. He must have said something.

• 13:40Connor Wood?

  I don't think so because I had gone home and I knew that it was probably the last.

• 13:46Brooke Averick?

  I think, yeah.

• 13:47Connor Wood?

  Of, of the Mohicans. That's a movie. I don't know why that just came to mind. And one of our last comings and goings, and I filmed on Snapchat of all places. Like that sucks my last memory with my like family dog that I've had for my whole life is on Snapchat. And it keeps popping up like, seven years ago today, you had some awesome cuddles. And it's like the last time with my family dog.

• 14:07Brooke Averick?

  He did not die seven years ago.

• 14:09Connor Wood?

  It's, will pop, I mean, like, when I'm 58 years old and I get my seven years ago today and it's my family dog and I'm on Snapchat. Like in my memories. Um, yeah. So he, he's now passed.

• 14:21Brooke Averick?

  I'm sorry.

• 14:22Connor Wood?

  But in the dream, very much alive. To my chagrin, I walk up to him and I say something to him. I don't really recall what I say.

• 14:35Connor Wood?

  He responds in Japanese and it's a man's deep Japanese voice. And I look closer.

• 14:42Brooke Averick?

  Sorry I died.

• 14:44Connor Wood?

  Broke like full blown, but it was in Japanese. So I didn't know. And then I look closer, his, oh my God, I know why it happened. It's his butt and his butt is a Japanese man's face. Fair skinned, speaking to me, and then I shake him and his head turns and now the Japanese man is gone off of his butt.

• 15:07Brooke Averick?

  It's like Professor Quarrel in Voldemort.

• 15:09Connor Wood?

  Completely, but you know why that happened?

• 15:13Brooke Averick?

  Why?

• 15:14Connor Wood?

  Because over the weekend, I was talking to someone about one of the cartoons that I used to watch. And of course, we're going through all of the horrors. Invader Zim.

• 15:22Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 15:22Connor Wood?

  Um, Courage the Cowardly Dog.

• 15:24Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 15:24Connor Wood?

  Then I hit one that like really snuck through the radar. Cat Dog.

• 15:28Brooke Averick?

  Cat Dog.

• 15:29Connor Wood?

  That's why 100% I had.

• 15:31Brooke Averick?

  Cat Dog.

• 15:31Connor Wood?

  That's why I had the dream about Saki's.

• 15:34Brooke Averick?

  Butt.

• 15:35Connor Wood?

  Saki's butt being an Asian man's face.

• 15:36Brooke Averick?

  You need to get a dream journal.

• 15:38Connor Wood?

  I know that, well, this is kind of my dream journal because I say everything here, but. Holy moly.

• 15:44Brooke Averick?

  Can I make you your journal?

• 15:45Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I would love that. I will, I will Venmo.

• 15:48Brooke Averick?

  I would love to do that for you. I would love to do that.

• 15:51Connor Wood?

  That would be amazing.

• 15:51Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 15:52Connor Wood?

  It would be fun to have two.

• 15:53Brooke Averick?

  I'm gonna, the next episode, oh no, I can't do the next episode because that's like tomorrow. Oh my God. Here's, maybe if I can get my shit together, I'll give it to you at the live show tomorrow.

• 16:03Connor Wood?

  You, how would you do that before tomorrow?

• 16:05Brooke Averick?

  I would have to be really motivated.

• 16:07Connor Wood?

  We can see, we can check back in.

• 16:09Brooke Averick?

  Because now they have this type of stuff at like Barnes and Noble.

• 16:11Connor Wood?

  Do they?

• 16:13Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 16:13Connor Wood?

  Wow.

• 16:14Brooke Averick?

  Not, not at my Barnes, they don't have like a good leather situation. But I can try and find something.

• 16:22Connor Wood?

  Oh, how fabulous. That's so exciting for me.

• 16:24Brooke Averick?

  That'll be fabulous.

• 16:24Connor Wood?

  Yeah. That would be nice to actually get my, my, my pen to paper.

• 16:28Brooke Averick?

  Should I tell you what I'm gonna do or do you just wanna be surprised?

• 16:31Connor Wood?

  I kinda wanna be surprised. Unless you really wanna tell me what you're gonna do.

• 16:34Brooke Averick?

  I'm gonna include three little notebooks in it.

• 16:36Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 16:38Brooke Averick?

  Oh my God, no, I'm gonna, I'm gonna literally blow your shit up.

• 16:41Connor Wood?

  I can't wait. Oh, I can't wait. Thank you.

• 16:44Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, you're welcome. I'm really excited.

• 16:46Connor Wood?

  I'm really excited. Cause this is now like, I don't know if you saw it click for me today.

• 16:51Brooke Averick?

  This just, this made you click?

• 16:52Connor Wood?

  Click. Yeah, cause yesterday I was writing a lot yesterday. And I was like. There is absolutely no.

• 17:04Connor Wood?

  Value to my notes app on my phone like I don't feel any drawn towards it in any way. It doesn't inspire me. It makes me I have to unlock my phone. Doesn't it doesn't feel good. You know?

• 17:16Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I'm thinking like my brain is firing at rapid speed figuring out what your sections are gonna be.

• 17:21Connor Wood?

  Oh, how exciting. Wow. I love that. So hot.

• 17:26Brooke Averick?

  I do too. Why do I love that?

• 18:33Connor Wood?

  Okay, well, I have something else.

• 18:35Brooke Averick?

  All right, give it to me.

• 18:37Connor Wood?

  Well, this is also this was also low key kind of included in my dread section. But it's technically not dread. Like, I think a lot of people are very excited that we just went to the moon again. And it's the farthest away we've ever been. Can you think about this number for a second? Without vomiting? 255,000 miles from Earth.

• 18:57Brooke Averick?

  I haven't I genuinely cannot conceptualize numbers. To me, like, I don't see the difference in my head between 255,000 and 255 million.

• 19:09Connor Wood?

  One's bigger.

• 19:10Brooke Averick?

  No, obviously one's bigger, but like it doesn't, it doesn't, I can't see that.

• 19:16Connor Wood?

  You know how I think of space? Like, like a bay in the ocean, like all of, like the moon is Loki, like our little boat.

• 19:24Brooke Averick?

  You should watch Project Hail Mary.

• 19:26Connor Wood?

  Did you watch it?

• 19:26Brooke Averick?

  No, because I need to read the book first, but like I think my understanding of it is that it's like a really wholesome story. And it might reclaim the way you feel about space.

• 19:35Connor Wood?

  I used to not even mind space, but now I'm just like shaking, crying, throwing up, thinking about it, being out there. And it's like crazy that we just all go day to day being like, yeah, of course. What did that, did we like of like, they bred that out of us. We're just like not scared. We're not thinking about it. That's crazy that we're all just like, time to clock in it.

• 19:56Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 19:56Connor Wood?

  JP Morgan, you know, and it's like, not to be like the dude that's like, we're all floating on a big giant rock and we're so small and nothing really matters.

• 20:06Brooke Averick?

  Space really doesn't bother me.

• 20:08Connor Wood?

  I have two quick things.

• 20:09Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 20:09Connor Wood?

  Are E space. One.

• 20:10Brooke Averick?

  The Mariana trench bothers me.

• 20:14Connor Wood?

  I've been to Mariana, Mariana's.

• 20:17Brooke Averick?

  You haven't been down.

• 20:19Connor Wood?

  No, down, down, down.

• 20:22Brooke Averick?

  You haven't been to the bottom.

• 20:23Connor Wood?

  No, I haven't been to the bottom of Mariana's trench. I've been on top of her.

• 20:27Brooke Averick?

  That's fine.

• 20:28Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 20:29Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. In Guam.

• 20:30Connor Wood?

  In Guam, off of Guam.

• 20:31Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, off of Guam.

• 20:33Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 20:33Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 20:33Connor Wood?

  Off of Guam.

• 20:34Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Off of Guam.

• 20:35Connor Wood?

  No, yeah, see.

• 20:36Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 20:37Connor Wood?

  Uh, it was lovely. And I do remember, that's probably my first memory, which we talk about memories all the time. That's probably my first memories. I remember the glass bottom boat.

• 20:45Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Wow. I want to go on a boat.

• 20:47Connor Wood?

  The GBB.

• 20:48Brooke Averick?

  I would be throwing up, I mean, every five seconds.

• 20:52Connor Wood?

  That's all I remember. There's a couple of fish and stuff. One thing I was going to say about them going to around the, around the moon type shit is the toilet broke.

• 21:02Brooke Averick?

  Ooh. I guess I never thought about going to the bathroom in space.

• 21:06Connor Wood?

  They all had to wear, they all had to wear diapers. Yeah, which is such a bummer. Like, we need to provide better for our astronauts. If, if, if we can't get the, the bath.

• 21:15Brooke Averick?

  So do they just dispose of it in, in orbit?

• 21:20Connor Wood?

  See, this is the part that like makes me, like the, the idea of them throwing their, their dirty diapies just like out into the, the void is just very crazy to me.

• 21:30Brooke Averick?

  Are they?

• 21:33Brooke Averick?

  It was a clever solution to mostly where fecal use. Maybe that is more of a discussion. I reported a faint burning smell coming from the hygiene bay, heating insulation, pee receptacle. Okay, but are they putting everything into the orbit?

• 21:47Connor Wood?

  We're just skimming through this.

• 21:48Brooke Averick?

  Vent line used to dump pee into space. Nice. Okay.

• 21:55Connor Wood?

  I just like, imagine, imagine you're on a road trip, okay? You're going, so you're going to Coachella, you're going out to Palm Springs, you're going out to the desert. Really gotta go. Really gotta go. There's nowhere to stop. Now, I want you to take that and I want you to quadruple it by 255,000 miles. And then I want you to think about.

• 22:21Brooke Averick?

  If you have a diaper on, then you could just go.

• 22:24Connor Wood?

  You have no problem with that?

• 22:26Brooke Averick?

  Obviously, it's not ideal. I wonder if I could, because I remember when I was little and I wanted attention. And I was like, I'm gonna pee in my pants for attention right now. And I couldn't. Like, it's just like, it doesn't, my body wouldn't let me. So I wonder if it would let me. I guess if it was an emergency, because I've gone in my pants accidentally recently. Not recently at all, but like more recently than I prefer.

• 22:55Connor Wood?

  Only my twenties.

• 22:56Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 22:57Connor Wood?

  Um.

• 23:00Brooke Averick?

  I don't think I could pee in my pants. That's what I'm trying to say.

• 23:03Connor Wood?

  Yeah, just like in front of your coworkers, pooping your diapy.

• 23:08Brooke Averick?

  I think it, if it was coming out, it's coming out.

• 23:12Connor Wood?

  Of course.

• 23:12Brooke Averick?

  But I don't think I could just be like, I'm pooping now and.

• 23:19Brooke Averick?

  I think it would only happen if it was like an emergency slipping out.

• 23:22Connor Wood?

  Hi, this is International Space Station, we are all pooping now.

• 23:25Brooke Averick?

  Hi. Anyway.

• 23:33Connor Wood?

  Having to announce it like, oh, that's funny. That's funny.

• 23:38Brooke Averick?

  I feel like you, like it's more awkward if you don't.

• 23:41Connor Wood?

  Is there smell in space?

• 23:43Brooke Averick?

  There is. I don't think gravity does anything to that.

• 23:48Connor Wood?

  To smell? No, because smell is like, I think like floating particles.

• 23:54Brooke Averick?

  Do you know that if you, space has a distinct pungent smell, clean in their suits, that's where space. Hot metal, seared steak, and welding fumes, and gunpowder. What is going on in space?

• 24:07Connor Wood?

  God, you jinkies.

• 24:09Brooke Averick?

  Oh, my God, like, imagine a space candle and under it, it's like notes of hot metal, seared steak, welding fumes, and spent gunpowder.

• 24:18Connor Wood?

  This is the Texas Roadhouse. Oh, okay. And then to add on top of that?

• 24:24Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 24:25Connor Wood?

  Dirty diaper.

• 24:26Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 24:27Connor Wood?

  Dirty adult diaper. 250,000 miles away from the nearest bathroom diaper.

• 24:32Brooke Averick?

  It's not awesome.

• 24:33Connor Wood?

  Oh, my God. Things would start to really fade of importance, like, we are up in space, we're doing whatever they're doing to the moon, I don't really know what they're up to up there. Imagine just having to pee so badly, I would be like, I don't, whatever, like, take a picture, take the picture.

• 24:50Brooke Averick?

  Otter space scented candle. We should get one for this dude.

• 24:55Brooke Averick?

  Astronauts describe the smells and mix up gunpowder, oh, yeah, I already know that. Raspberries and rum.

• 24:59Connor Wood?

  Oh, that sounds nice.

• 25:01Brooke Averick?

  Gunpowder, seared steak, raspberries, and rum, there's no way.

• 25:05Connor Wood?

  That sounds good to me.

• 25:07Brooke Averick?

  Gunpowder and steak.

• 25:09Connor Wood?

  Yeah, it's the same way, like, I like the smell of gas.

• 25:11Brooke Averick?

  But would you like it mixed with, like, raspberries and gunpowder?

• 25:14Connor Wood?

  I truly think that sounds like an awesome Yellowstone themed candle.

• 25:18Brooke Averick?

  There's the best smell to me is when you're driving into Ocean City, New Jersey, and you're passing Egg Harbor, and it just smells like egg, beach eggs. That's my-

• 25:27Connor Wood?

  Like sulfur?

• 25:28Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 25:29Connor Wood?

  So far.

• 25:30Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, but it's like beach farts.

• 25:33Brooke Averick?

  So it's fine, because it's like, the source is, it's coming from the beach.

• 25:36Connor Wood?

  Fart beach.

• 25:37Brooke Averick?

  Fart beach, yeah.

• 25:38Connor Wood?

  The beach that makes you fart.

• 25:39Brooke Averick?

  Egg fart beach. Like that, I love that.

• 25:42Connor Wood?

  That's so gross.

• 25:43Brooke Averick?

  You just said you like gasoline.

• 25:46Brooke Averick?

  So, it's not that different.

• 25:49Connor Wood?

  I'm pooping now.

• 25:51Brooke Averick?

  I want to talk about San Diego.

• 25:53Connor Wood?

  Okay. Can we touch on San Diego in one second? There was the That Space thing and then there was, eh, who cares?

• 26:01Connor Wood?

  Yes, talk about San Diego.

• 26:02Brooke Averick?

  Well, we went, we had our live show in San Diego.

• 26:04Connor Wood?

  We had our first live show. It was fabulous. Thank you all for coming to it. That was so fun. That theater was amazing. What a great first show.

• 26:12Brooke Averick?

  Great first show.

• 26:13Connor Wood?

  Thank you for coming. If you came to our OG first show, thank you for coming. Like, very sweet, very grateful for you.

• 26:21Connor Wood?

  Like, this felt like a real...

• 26:25Connor Wood?

  Real first show.

• 26:26Brooke Averick?

  It was great. But what I want to talk about is that was kind of really my first time in San Diego.

• 26:31Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 26:32Brooke Averick?

  I went to the zoo once before. And then I also went when we evacuated for the fires, but like, we didn't really leave the house.

• 26:38Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 26:40Brooke Averick?

  But this was like, I was in San Diego. And I went to La Jolla.

• 26:44Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 26:45Brooke Averick?

  The day after the show. This is my first time... Shit, I meant to wear my La Jolla hat and t-shirt today.

• 26:51Connor Wood?

  Dang. Well, luckily we're recording three times this week.

• 26:53Brooke Averick?

  I'll do tomorrow. Yeah, I'll do tomorrow. But... Oh, I'll wear it to the live show... Tomorrow.

• 27:01Connor Wood?

  The people of Irvine might not love that.

• 27:02Brooke Averick?

  No, I know, that's true. Anyway, this is my first time hyper-fixating on a town.

• 27:07Connor Wood?

  Love that. Well, you had projected that a little bit because you were so excited for your beachfront town.

• 27:12Brooke Averick?

  I was so excited for the front town. But guess what?

• 27:16Connor Wood?

  What?

• 27:17Brooke Averick?

  Well, first of all, what struck me about La Jolla was the wildlife. The seals.

• 27:24Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 27:25Brooke Averick?

  And the water. The water is crystal clear blue, like you're in a swimming pool and in Europe. The seals are just swimming about, living their best life. A squirrel gave me a high five. I felt like Jane Goodall, like so in touch with creatures.

• 27:42Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 27:43Brooke Averick?

  I just felt like we are all one. And imagine, I'm walking away from the seals, I see someone holding a bag. Bookstore and stationery shop. I go to the bookstore and stationery shop, Warwick's. Heaven on earth. The only problem is that prevents me from being able to set up my bookstore.

• 28:04Connor Wood?

  Competition.

• 28:05Brooke Averick?

  In La Jolla, because I don't want any bad blood. I don't, you never want to be the store that open, that is the competition.

• 28:12Connor Wood?

  The spite store.

• 28:13Brooke Averick?

  You don't want to be the spite store. So I would have to go to a different town. Or is it different enough? When you're doing books, cats and a bunch of other, and a cafe as well? I think it's still not right because you're still selling books.

• 28:31Connor Wood?

  So I have to go. It's healthy to have some level of. I just don't know if you're gonna find a town without a bookstore.

• 28:40Connor Wood?

  I really don't know.

• 28:40Brooke Averick?

  Well, I think what I'm really saying and is at the crux of this is I'm, I need to make my own town. I think that's really what it is. So I think I need to find an empty piece of land.

• 28:53Connor Wood?

  On the coastline?

• 28:54Brooke Averick?

  Along the coastline.

• 28:55Connor Wood?

  Oh, yes, yes, yes.

• 28:57Brooke Averick?

  And then that's when I really start up. The bookstore, the cafe, someone can do the local grocer. And it's literally just what a town needs, the necessities, all within like a, a very small area.

• 29:10Connor Wood?

  A cult.

• 29:10Brooke Averick?

  So it's technically its own, yes. But put a positive spin on that. A commune.

• 29:17Connor Wood?

  By the way, I've told you before, I'm like very on board with joining.

• 29:20Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, no, I know that.

• 29:21Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 29:22Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. So I think what I'm looking for is not to join a town, it's to be the town.

• 29:27Connor Wood?

  Right.

• 29:28Brooke Averick?

  I think that's what I'm kind of figuring out. But anyway, I think I'm gonna move to La Jolla.

• 29:34Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 29:34Brooke Averick?

  While I figure my shit out.

• 29:36Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 29:36Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 29:37Connor Wood?

  I get that.

• 29:38Brooke Averick?

  I just, it was an amazing, I can't even get over it. I can't believe it's been two hours away this whole time.

• 29:43Connor Wood?

  It is funny that way. California is just all of these different maps.

• 29:48Brooke Averick?

  Why is the water so blue and it's so brown here?

• 29:51Connor Wood?

  Different mayor?

• 29:54Brooke Averick?

  I don't think that's why.

• 29:55Connor Wood?

  I don't know. There's just a lot of people here.

• 29:59Brooke Averick?

  It seems like it's a crazy difference. Like it's not even, it doesn't even seem like the same.

• 30:06Connor Wood?

  It is crazy, but you can literally just pull up Google Maps and do like worldview and you can see or like that.

• 30:14Brooke Averick?

  It is definitely the same ocean, but.

• 30:16Connor Wood?

  No, I I'm saying like if you scroll up to Malibu or if you scroll south to like Manhattan Beach even, it's like blue, poop, blue.

• 30:24Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, Manhattan, Manhattan.

• 30:26Connor Wood?

  Manhattan Beach.

• 30:27Brooke Averick?

  Beach is even a lot bluer, but like it still doesn't even compare to La Jolla.

• 30:32Connor Wood?

  I know, I don't know.

• 30:34Brooke Averick?

  Me neither.

• 30:35Connor Wood?

  Different sand for sure.

• 30:37Brooke Averick?

  I'm not talking about the sand.

• 30:39Connor Wood?

  Well, the sand makes it, yeah.

• 30:41Brooke Averick?

  La Jolla's water appears bluer and clearer due to its rocky canyon adjacent geography. Oh, it's the canyon and protecting protected marine areas that reduce sediment and algae. Conversely, Santa Monica Beach water often appears greener or murkier due to shallow sandy bottoms. Hi, sandy bottoms.

• 30:56Connor Wood?

  Oh.

• 30:57Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I guess I get that.

• 30:59Connor Wood?

  The human made sedimentation. I got in the water the other day and I was just like having the time. Oh, it was like right before we went down to San Diego and I was swimming. I was gurgling. Ah la la la la. I was like, is it actually? Maybe I'm hmm. Looks different than usual. Get out. Dangerously high levels of bacteria do not swim.

• 31:24Connor Wood?

  Every hole.

• 31:25Brooke Averick?

  I think you're fine. I really do.

• 31:28Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 31:29Brooke Averick?

  I like imagine how much worse. Our ancestors had it. They didn't have signs. You know, who knows where they were putting their bodies?

• 31:40Connor Wood?

  They also died at like thirty two.

• 31:42Brooke Averick?

  That's true.

• 31:43Connor Wood?

  So.

• 31:44Brooke Averick?

  That is true.

• 31:45Connor Wood?

  And I think we might be making a couple more ounces of trash and garbage and poisonous.

• 31:52Brooke Averick?

  You know what I want to see? I want to see a chart that's like average lifespans and the time periods.

• 31:59Connor Wood?

  We can probably L.

• 32:01Brooke Averick?

  It might scare me.

• 32:03Connor Wood?

  Well, today, oh my gosh, I have an incredible announcement for you.

• 32:06Brooke Averick?

  What?

• 32:06Connor Wood?

  Today's the day that we all stop aging and no one else is born and no one dies. That's today.

• 32:11Brooke Averick?

  Yay.

• 32:11Connor Wood?

  Yeah, how exciting. Congrats.

• 32:13Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, happy day.

• 32:15Connor Wood?

  I can show you more into that right after we look up the lifespans that are now irrelevant.

• 32:21Connor Wood?

  Okay, so 1816.

• 32:23Brooke Averick?

  That's unfortunately in chart form. Like bar graph and shit like that, which is hard for me right now.

• 32:29Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I don't know why there's so many lines. I feel like there could just be one.

• 32:33Brooke Averick?

  Just tell me.

• 32:34Connor Wood?

  Average.

• 32:34Brooke Averick?

  Just tell me with words.

• 32:37Brooke Averick?

  This looks like an echocardiogram.

• 32:39Connor Wood?

  From around the early-

• 32:40Brooke Averick?

  Middle Ages.

• 32:43Brooke Averick?

  Well, Middle Ages is of a wide range, 30 to 40 years. Frequent dips due to plague and famine. In the 1800s, it was still 30 to 40. 1900s to 1950s, rapid increases began 45 to 48. Wait, why is it only 72 to 73 now? That's the average? Oh, I don't like that.

• 33:07Connor Wood?

  Don't love that either. But good news is...

• 33:13Brooke Averick?

  I'm really in the mood for a medical advance. You know what would blow chunks? If like a massive like... You get to be frozen at like 30 type of advance came when we were like 92.

• 33:27Connor Wood?

  Like completely... No, I don't know. That's the golden years, apparently.

• 33:32Brooke Averick?

  92?

• 33:32Connor Wood?

  Yeah, we just wouldn't be like fucking and sucking like we used to.

• 33:36Brooke Averick?

  Aging. Listen, I'm fine. I just don't want to... My body to break down and decay.

• 33:43Connor Wood?

  Totally. I think that that means we have to be proactive now with vitamins, etc.

• 33:49Brooke Averick?

  I'm fine dying at 95 as long as I lo- like my years, my 95 years are good and healthy and I have a body that is kind to me and I'm kind to my body, yeah.

• 34:01Connor Wood?

  Your body.

• 34:02Brooke Averick?

  It's a Wonderland.

• 34:03Connor Wood?

  It's a Wonderland. I do, I have that in my notes of like jokes. And it just says your body's a Wonderland. I'm like, I wonder what I thought was like-

• 34:10Brooke Averick?

  I feel like you've done it before. Like if you transcript searched TMG body is Wonderland, like I bet you'd find you doing that joke.

• 34:18Connor Wood?

  I do test a lot of jokes here and the way that they don't-

• 34:20Brooke Averick?

  We know.

• 34:24Connor Wood?

  They don't land here. And then I go and I do them somewhere else and I'm like, man, they didn't work for a reason.

• 34:33Connor Wood?

  Doesn't he remember the episode where they talked about?

• 34:35Brooke Averick?

  Wow.

• 34:36Connor Wood?

  Oh my god, legume?

• 34:38Brooke Averick?

  Wait, we talked, I looked.

• 34:39Connor Wood?

  Wow, that's real crazy.

• 34:41Brooke Averick?

  Your mind, wow.

• 34:43Connor Wood?

  Like, it's like an amazing place. Your body's a wonderland. Whoa, I wipe my nose on the mic.

• 34:48Brooke Averick?

  They really did it well, the transcript. It really led us right to your body's a wonderland.

• 34:52Connor Wood?

  Is that, I just straight up, just like, your body's a wonderland?

• 34:55Brooke Averick?

  Your body's a wonderland.

• 34:56Connor Wood?

  Oh, cat looks so different.

• 34:57Brooke Averick?

  Something, I'm like, your mind? He's like, what? Your mind?

• 35:01Connor Wood?

  Your mind.

• 35:01Brooke Averick?

  My teeth are massive. Wow.

• 35:03Connor Wood?

  Like, it's like an amazing place.

• 35:06Brooke Averick?

  You are continuing to wipe your nose with the mic.

• 35:10Brooke Averick?

  Is there anything else you want to search?

• 35:14Connor Wood?

  No.

• 35:15Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 35:15Connor Wood?

  But yesterday I was watching basketball.

• 35:19Connor Wood?

  I don't have shit going on right now. I was watching basketball.

• 35:22Brooke Averick?

  I do.

• 35:23Connor Wood?

  You should have watched basketball yesterday with me. The NCAA, Michigan.

• 35:27Brooke Averick?

  No, I had to finish jury duty, which by the way, you still haven't watched.

• 35:31Connor Wood?

  Well, I'm excited to, well, I need to be watching that at the same time with

• 35:37Connor Wood?

  with other people, because now, I know, well, now I'm gonna end up seeing, but you telling me, like, it really didn't turn me on too much, the way that you were like, eh, it's just not like, the same.

• 35:46Brooke Averick?

  It's not at all the same, and I don't think they should continue. But the last episode was so bad, it was amazing.

• 35:56Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 35:57Brooke Averick?

  Like, it's so bad that it's good.

• 35:59Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 36:00Brooke Averick?

  Does that make sense?

• 36:00Connor Wood?

  Okay, yeah. Yo, you know what we should have searched just now, like, something that we said again? And I kind of want to like, just stop talking about certain stuff. We talked about the undersea internet cables that you brought up, and then Iran threatened to cut them like, the week after?

• 36:14Brooke Averick?

  Iran's deadass about to cut the cord, and...

• 36:17Connor Wood?

  Like, who is listening to this podcast?

• 36:19Brooke Averick?

  This is what I'm wondering, like, is it just that we're discovering things that, like, people already know about and are already talking about, and it's like, obvious, and we're just discovering them because they're now in the zeitgeist? Or are people listening to us?

• 36:31Connor Wood?

  There's no telling the absolute breadth of our viewership, like, I don't really know. Iran has threatened to cut the undersea cables in the Persian Gulf that provide a global internet connectivity. Oh, we have to do something because it's all I have right now to get me through the day is is to fear monger and doom scroll.

• 36:51Brooke Averick?

  Honestly?

• 36:53Connor Wood?

  I need to finish my book, my horrible, horrible book.

• 36:56Brooke Averick?

  If someone cut the cord and I did not have access to the internet and the world didn't have access to the internet for like a while until we got the cords repaired. It could be another classic example of like something horrible happening and it kind of ending up being beautiful.

• 37:10Connor Wood?

  For the greater good.

• 37:11Brooke Averick?

  Remember when covid happened and it was obviously horrible, but then everyone started going on walks and it was kind of beautiful?

• 37:15Connor Wood?

  Mm hmm.

• 37:16Brooke Averick?

  It could be another one of those things.

• 37:18Connor Wood?

  Brooke, kiss your brain. Well said, like way to think beyond where I put us into a fear mongering corner and you said, "Hold my hand, I'm gonna take you out of this place."

• 37:28Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, it could be.

• 37:29Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 37:30Brooke Averick?

  A classic example of the, a light in the dark.

• 37:36Connor Wood?

  100% accept. I do think that we have reached a place where

• 37:43Connor Wood?

  that would be catastrophic type shit.

• 37:47Brooke Averick?

  Listen, I'm not saying it wouldn't be catastrophic.

• 37:48Connor Wood?

  Like, I mean, you're saying like, imagine we just like can't get on Instagram. I think it's more like, like world, like, like economies would crumble and things.

• 37:58Brooke Averick?

  Connor and I'm agreeing with you, the same way that covid like was also that bad, like really a bad thing.

• 38:07Brooke Averick?

  You gotta look for that sliver of light, i.e. people going on walks.

• 38:13Connor Wood?

  They cut the cables for the global internet.

• 38:15Brooke Averick?

  People might start to think about going on walks again.

• 38:16Connor Wood?

  Maybe on a walk around your neighborhood every once in a while.

• 38:18Brooke Averick?

  People might start to think about going on walks again.

• 38:20Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 38:51Speaker 01

  Coca-Cola. For the big, for the small, the short, and the tall. Peacemakers, risk takers. For the optimists, pessimists. For long distance love. For introverts and extroverts. The thinkers and the doers. For old friends and new. Coca-Cola. For everyone. Pick up some Coca-Cola at a store near you.

• 39:22Speaker 04

  Whenever fall comes back around, it always feels like a fresh start. This year, I've been layering in some styles from the new Lululemon fall drop. Because the weather is shifting and I find I have to be ready for the entire day and not just one part of it. Lululemon's fall line has some really versatile transitional pieces. So I can just wake up, throw on a matching set, add a jacket or a fleece and head out, knowing that I'll feel comfortable enough to go wherever the day takes me. Check out the new fall arrivals in store and online now at lululemon.com.

• 39:52Connor Wood?

  Okay, I like that.

• 39:53Brooke Averick?

  See what I'm saying?

• 39:54Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I do like that.

• 39:54Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 39:58Connor Wood?

  I think that like planes would low key like fall out of the sky, but what do I know? I was, you know what I was?

• 40:03Brooke Averick?

  Planes wouldn't fall out. Izzy, would you mind Googling, will planes fall out of the sky? Because the, what are those called?

• 40:10Connor Wood?

  Internet? If my wifi goes out, will the plane fall?

• 40:15Brooke Averick?

  No, people flew planes without wifi for a long time.

• 40:18Connor Wood?

  It's easy to forget that.

• 40:19Brooke Averick?

  No, cutting underwater cables will not cause planes to fall out of the sky. You're fear mongering. It's just where your head goes. We've got to turn that, you know what I think will help you journaling?

• 40:30Connor Wood?

  You know what's, what if, you know what'd be crazy? If like Google gave, pulled up a clip of art as a source of like a question that we typed in, it was like, no, according to?

• 40:39Brooke Averick?

  According to, kind of make a podcast in 2026.

• 40:42Connor Wood?

  Planes will not be falling out of the sky today. This afternoon.

• 40:47Connor Wood?

  Okay, here's what happened.

• 40:48Brooke Averick?

  There was a really, no.

• 40:49Connor Wood?

  Significant disruptions to internet banking, communications and digital services occur affecting national economies. Boom, kiss my brain. Um, planes are capable of navigation and safe landing without internet connectivity because I think they have radios.

• 41:04Brooke Averick?

  There was a really scary episode of Criminal Minds where there was, uh, I guess it was terrorism, but this terrorist was targeting like individual commercial planes, one by one and just hacking the mainframe of the planes.

• 41:18Connor Wood?

  That's not even, okay, because I don't know, again, we don't know who's listening.

• 41:22Brooke Averick?

  Well, it's an episode of Criminal Minds, it's already out.

• 41:24Connor Wood?

  Oh.

• 41:25Brooke Averick?

  It's been out for years.

• 41:26Connor Wood?

  I hope that that is not possible.

• 41:27Brooke Averick?

  I'm just saying that was like, to me, like scarier than serial killers.

• 41:32Brooke Averick?

  It was scarier than serial killers, so.

• 41:35Connor Wood?

  Seriously? It's crazy.

• 41:38Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, so anyway, I think I spelled chord wrong. I wrote in my notes Iran cutting the chord, but I spelled it C-H-O-R-D, like the musical chord, but is that, that's not how you spell this.

• 41:52Connor Wood?

  I think it's just C, it's drop the H.

• 41:54Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, so this is like, yeah, so I spelled it wrong. That, which is, it goes to show you, like, that's a great, um, reason, like, I shouldn't be talking about this if I can't spell chord.

• 42:06Connor Wood?

  I don't know, I think you can have a general grasp on something without being able to spell.

• 42:11Brooke Averick?

  I don't know.

• 42:12Connor Wood?

  Can I be negative again? And then I'm gonna snap out of it. I'm gonna snap out of it because I think I'm usually pretty positive about, in the general way.

• 42:20Brooke Averick?

  I don't agree.

• 42:21Connor Wood?

  Really?

• 42:21Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 42:22Connor Wood?

  Just recently I've been pretty negative. And it's because I'm, I'm projecting it from a personal space.

• 42:27Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 42:28Connor Wood?

  But, um, you know when we were all going on walks and playing Pokemon Go and stuff and everyone was like, look how, how our phones are like getting us outside? The company was storing all the data from us playing Pokemon Go to like train AI to, or to give, to create models for like Waymouse to be able to drive on the streets because we were like filming streets and landmarks and.

• 42:50Brooke Averick?

  Oh, really?

• 42:51Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 42:51Brooke Averick?

  Like, you see people do that now, like set up cameras and like get like Google Earth photos, like we were doing that for them?

• 42:57Connor Wood?

  Mm-hmm.

• 42:58Brooke Averick?

  Oh, cool.

• 42:59Connor Wood?

  At least it was fun.

• 43:01Brooke Averick?

  I fucked with Pokemon Go.

• 43:03Connor Wood?

  I know you did.

• 43:04Brooke Averick?

  So heavily that it like got in the way of living my life.

• 43:08Connor Wood?

  I know.

• 43:10Brooke Averick?

  Like I would just, I lived, um, because this was, I was still living at home and I lived by a train station.

• 43:15Connor Wood?

  Mm-hmm.

• 43:16Brooke Averick?

  I mean, I would wake up in the middle of the night, like 3:00 AM, check Pokemon Go. There would be an extremely rare creature at the train station. I would sprint in my booty shorts and slippers to the train station. Dangerous, dangerous thing to do. But I got that, I got, I got.

• 43:30Connor Wood?

  Bulb Saur.

• 43:31Brooke Averick?

  Catch them all.

• 43:32Connor Wood?

  Yeah, for sure.

• 43:34Brooke Averick?

  And then I took my, I got my phone jailbroken to access the rare Tamagotchi that you could only, not Tamagotchi.

• 43:41Connor Wood?

  Pokemon.

• 43:42Brooke Averick?

  The rare Pokemon that you could only get in Japan. So I was able to go to Japan via my Pokemon Go in my bedroom. Yeah, I took it extremely seriously.

• 43:51Connor Wood?

  Women in STEM.

• 43:52Brooke Averick?

  Hey.

• 43:54Connor Wood?

  There's a Super Mario movie that I'm gonna go see, by the way.

• 43:57Brooke Averick?

  Apparently it's good.

• 43:58Connor Wood?

  Of course it is.

• 43:59Brooke Averick?

  I love Jack Black.

• 44:01Connor Wood?

  Me too. Oh, did you watch SNL?

• 44:03Brooke Averick?

  No, did you? I watched him, I watched the Five Timers Club.

• 44:06Connor Wood?

  I watched the Clips.

• 44:07Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. I'm a big Clip girl.

• 44:09Connor Wood?

  I love Clips.

• 44:10Brooke Averick?

  I love Clips.

• 44:11Connor Wood?

  My dad just said that he just, he's watching a show right now that Will Arnett's in, like a newer.

• 44:16Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I need to start watching DTF.

• 44:18Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I actually kind of dropped the ball because I've been only able to access Netflix.

• 44:22Brooke Averick?

  No, I've been watching St. Dennis Medical.

• 44:24Connor Wood?

  I know.

• 44:25Brooke Averick?

  It is so genuinely good.

• 44:28Connor Wood?

  For real?

• 44:28Brooke Averick?

  I'm being so Jen. So many shows are trying to be The Office and it's not landing. But this show is also trying to be The Office and it's landing a little bit more.

• 44:39Connor Wood?

  Because they look at the camera longer or what?

• 44:41Brooke Averick?

  I don't know what it is exactly about this. I think it's just genuinely good writing.

• 44:48Connor Wood?

  That's, that's.

• 44:49Brooke Averick?

  And the main woman is so funny. Wendy something, she was in Bridesmaids.

• 44:53Connor Wood?

  Reno 911.

• 44:54Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, that woman. Oh, did we speak about this already?

• 44:57Connor Wood?

  Now it's all coming back to me now, Celine Dion.

• 44:59Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, and now it's on Netflix.

• 45:02Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I do want to start watching because I feel like I could use something light.

• 45:05Brooke Averick?

  It's light and funny and like you can be on your phone.

• 45:09Connor Wood?

  I can be on my phone getting scared while I watch something light and funny.

• 45:12Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Your bangs fell down.

• 45:14Connor Wood?

  Gosh.

• 45:15Brooke Averick?

  But it's fine.

• 45:18Brooke Averick?

  You know what? You would look good in one of those headbands.

• 45:21Connor Wood?

  Like Rafael Nadal?

• 45:22Brooke Averick?

  Yes.

• 45:23Connor Wood?

  Oh, I have one.

• 45:25Brooke Averick?

  You should do that.

• 45:26Connor Wood?

  Really?

• 45:26Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 45:27Connor Wood?

  Like day to day?

• 45:28Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Or you should do, try it for the live show tomorrow.

• 45:31Connor Wood?

  Wear a headband for the live show tomorrow?

• 45:35Connor Wood?

  I'd be worried what people would say about me. This guy's in a headband.

• 45:39Brooke Averick?

  Be honest about what's going on and you're experimenting. As long as you're honest and there's clear communication, no one's gonna be talking about it, as long as you talk about it first. That's what I've learned. Get ahead of it.

• 45:50Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I know what you're thinking. Is he in a headband? Yes, I'm trying new things with my body.

• 45:55Brooke Averick?

  So then obviously no one's gonna be like, Connor being a freak in a headband. You already took care of it.

• 46:00Connor Wood?

  I know. I wasn't being a freak either. I was just trying something.

• 46:05Brooke Averick?

  I want to talk about the drama because I saw it.

• 46:08Connor Wood?

  You can talk about it. I don't know if I'll get my butt up to go see it.

• 46:12Brooke Averick?

  You have got to see the drama. One of the, I think it's the best movie I've seen in 2026.

• 46:20Connor Wood?

  Okay, I'll go see it.

• 46:21Brooke Averick?

  It, I did not want to, I didn't even think about like my phone

• 46:27Brooke Averick?

  for the entire movie. Usually like even if a movie's good towards the end, I'm like, all right, let's wrap this up. Like I'm ready to play Fruit Merge or something. Not once did I think that during this film. In fact, I was like, I hope it goes longer.

• 46:38Connor Wood?

  How long was it?

• 46:39Brooke Averick?

  Perfect length. It was like 145 or something.

• 46:42Connor Wood?

  Well done.

• 46:43Brooke Averick?

  It was so good and so unique and really, really made you think. And I know it's being marketed as like, there's this big twist. I don't, I didn't really align with that. It didn't feel like there was like a huge twist. It just felt like, oh, this is the plot, this is a plot point in the film.

• 47:04Brooke Averick?

  It's like not necessarily like where you're expecting the film to go, but when people were like, oh, there's this huge twist. I thought it was gonna be like, it's all a movie. Or it's all a dream, not a movie, or like a movie within a movie, like something like Black Mirror-y, but it's just like the plot goes in a direction that you might not.

• 47:20Connor Wood?

  Okay, I'll watch it.

• 47:21Brooke Averick?

  It's really, really good.

• 47:22Connor Wood?

  Can I watch it? I'll watch it before we record again.

• 47:26Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 47:27Connor Wood?

  Maybe not before.

• 47:27Brooke Averick?

  We will probably, we will record again tomorrow and the next day and the next day.

• 47:32Brooke Averick?

  Not tomorrow.

• 47:33Connor Wood?

  Not tomorrow. We have the show tomorrow.

• 47:35Brooke Averick?

  But it was fabulous, phenomenal. My friend Rob just absolutely knocked it out of the park. Zendaya incredible. Alana Heim was really good. Yeah, she's a big part.

• 47:49Connor Wood?

  Wow.

• 47:51Brooke Averick?

  She played probably one of the most unlikable characters.

• 47:57Brooke Averick?

  Ever.

• 47:58Connor Wood?

  I'm so dumb that when I see someone play an unlikable character, I genuinely don't, like can't wrap my head around enjoying their personality. Yeah.

• 48:04Brooke Averick?

  That is good acting. I think that will happen to you with her, but she's amazing in real life.

• 48:07Connor Wood?

  I just, she was on, um, something recently. She had, she, she was in One Battle After Another, right?

• 48:14Brooke Averick?

  I don't know. I never saw that, but I think she was.

• 48:16Connor Wood?

  That was, that one, that was one that threw me, threw me around in circles and loop vibes.

• 48:24Connor Wood?

  I don't think so.

• 48:25Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, she was in One Battle After Another. Yeah, she's really acting a lot.

• 48:29Connor Wood?

  Good for her.

• 48:31Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, the drama was fabulosity squared.

• 48:36Connor Wood?

  Zendaya is in, so think about this, the drama, which I don't know how it's doing in theaters.

• 48:42Brooke Averick?

  I think really good.

• 48:43Connor Wood?

  Okay, so the drama, Dune, she's in a Marvel movie this year, and I think she's in two more.

• 48:49Brooke Averick?

  What Marvel movie? Spider-Man?

• 48:52Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I think, is it Spider-Man?

• 48:53Brooke Averick?

  I think there's another Spider-Man this year.

• 48:57Connor Wood?

  She's gonna make, like genuinely, genuinely, genuinely, genuoso, half a billion dollars this year. She's in Spider-Man.

• 49:07Brooke Averick?

  Oh, it's absolutely coming out in 2026. Yeah, I mean, she's not strapped for cash.

• 49:14Connor Wood?

  How do you do five movies in a year?

• 49:17Brooke Averick?

  Well, they're probably all filmed in different times and even different years.

• 49:24Connor Wood?

  Yeah, but even just press.

• 49:26Brooke Averick?

  I mean, I would be completely drained.

• 49:29Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 49:30Brooke Averick?

  But I think like a lot of it is like, and I'm talking out of my ass as I'm not an actor, but I'm sure there are a lot of years where it's like you're not doing any press and you're just filming. And then there are years when you're just doing press and you're not filming, you know?

• 49:43Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 49:43Brooke Averick?

  And then it's kind of just like, that's your job.

• 49:46Connor Wood?

  Zendaya is disappearing from the public eye after four movies in 2026. Hope you don't get sick of me.

• 49:50Brooke Averick?

  I couldn't.

• 49:51Connor Wood?

  We couldn't. Can I read that first comment?

• 49:55Connor Wood?

  She's probably in the early stages of being pregnant and she will come back when she's ready. Totally. So glad I read that.

• 50:01Brooke Averick?

  I can never be sick of Zendaya breathtaking beauty and style. I agree.

• 50:05Connor Wood?

  Timeless. Self-awareness. That person's like, yeah, we were getting to.

• 50:09Brooke Averick?

  Do you think she would like you? I was just thinking if she would like me. I don't know what that.

• 50:14Connor Wood?

  Yeah, because I think that if she squinted and maybe if she was underwater.

• 50:18Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I forgot.

• 50:19Connor Wood?

  I was underwater as well. Maybe she'd be like, is that my fiancee?

• 50:22Brooke Averick?

  Is that my lover?

• 50:23Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 50:24Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, they're married.

• 50:27Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 50:27Brooke Averick?

  My husband.

• 50:28Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 50:29Brooke Averick?

  But I'm talking about like, imagine you had a bag over your head. Would you like your personality?

• 50:33Connor Wood?

  I think so. I only, I have a handful of people that genuinely with their chest don't like me and I think I'm pretty aware of it.

• 50:39Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 50:39Connor Wood?

  And I, I, I stand with them, but I think in general, like if it was just a.

• 50:46Brooke Averick?

  You're likable.

• 50:46Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I think that we could have a good, we could have some good chat.

• 50:50Brooke Averick?

  Izzy, would you mind looking up Tom Holland bangs? Let's see if he ever tried it.

• 50:54Connor Wood?

  I think my bangs look more like Zendaya's here.

• 50:58Connor Wood?

  Tom Holland bangs. Oh.

• 51:03Brooke Averick?

  Oh, is that what you're going for?

• 51:07Brooke Averick?

  That is what you're going for, isn't it?

• 51:10Connor Wood?

  Is that what I look like?

• 51:14Brooke Averick?

  Well, his hair is wet, remember?

• 51:16Connor Wood?

  A wet look.

• 51:17Brooke Averick?

  We were talking about that. He's doing wet look. Oh, here, there, but, but he's like so young there.

• 51:23Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I guess if it makes you look young when you do it.

• 51:27Connor Wood?

  I don't mind looking a little young.

• 51:29Brooke Averick?

  No, but like young, like 13, not like 25.

• 51:33Connor Wood?

  Gotcha. Um, okay. Well, he does usually push his hair back.

• 51:37Brooke Averick?

  See, look at him with those micros.

• 51:39Connor Wood?

  He's looking very British in that. Okay.

• 51:43Connor Wood?

  Gotcha. I see. Okay, so my self-awareness personally for me is low. I think I look really great and very cool with bangs, but like, I guess maybe, I don't know.

• 51:53Brooke Averick?

  Can you look, Izzy, can you look up Connor Wood bangs?

• 51:56Connor Wood?

  Please don't.

• 51:57Brooke Averick?

  Let's see. Let's see if there is anything.

• 51:59Connor Wood?

  Hi.

• 52:00Brooke Averick?

  That's good. That's-

• 52:01Connor Wood?

  That's bad. It looks like my hairline is receding.

• 52:04Brooke Averick?

  Those are wisps.

• 52:05Connor Wood?

  It looks like, mm. Oh, yes. Connor Wood steps onto the red carpet. Oh.

• 52:12Brooke Averick?

  Wait.

• 52:12Connor Wood?

  That was this wig.

• 52:13Brooke Averick?

  Okay. Okay.

• 52:15Connor Wood?

  That was this wig.

• 52:15Brooke Averick?

  Okay, okay, okay.

• 52:16Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 52:18Brooke Averick?

  Oh, look at you as a little kid.

• 52:20Connor Wood?

  Bottom, mm.

• 52:22Brooke Averick?

  See, that's fine to do when you're little.

• 52:26Connor Wood?

  That is crazy. The opaqueness of my bangs?

• 52:31Brooke Averick?

  I saw this TikTok and I've never resonated with anything more in my life.

• 52:35Connor Wood?

  That looks like-

• 52:36Brooke Averick?

  That was like, why is the word opaque the most translucent word?

• 52:40Connor Wood?

  I like-

• 52:41Brooke Averick?

  You can see through the word opaque, which is why it's always tripped me up and I didn't realize it until someone said that.

• 52:46Connor Wood?

  Okay, I completely-

• 52:47Brooke Averick?

  Because opaque to me means see-through.

• 52:48Connor Wood?

  I saw that and I completely disagree with you 100%. Opaque to me is like hard block. No.

• 52:54Brooke Averick?

  Opaque to me, it's like bubble letters. Like it's bubble bu- like bubble buddy. Like bubbles. Opaque is just a bubble.

• 53:02Connor Wood?

  O-

• 53:02Brooke Averick?

  Opaque, the letters are bubble letters that are just made out of bubbles.

• 53:07Connor Wood?

  Opaque to me is-

• 53:09Brooke Averick?

  No, opaque to me is- Is water bottle.

• 53:12Connor Wood?

  But then you think of the word transparent.

• 53:14Brooke Averick?

  And, well, first of all, translucent, 100%, that's like jellyfish.

• 53:18Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 53:19Brooke Averick?

  That's giving jellyfish. Transparent is more like-

• 53:23Connor Wood?

  Window?

• 53:23Brooke Averick?

  Slime.

• 53:24Connor Wood?

  Oh.

• 53:25Brooke Averick?

  That's what I'm seeing, slime.

• 53:27Connor Wood?

  I love slime.

• 53:28Brooke Averick?

  And then opaque is like water to me. Like opaque is the most, is more see-through than translucent.

• 53:33Connor Wood?

  Opaque is-

• 53:34Brooke Averick?

  In terms of words that I'm seeing in my head.

• 53:36Connor Wood?

  We need to get this young man off of my, off of my FYP.

• 53:39Brooke Averick?

  Look how much, look at the picture next to you. Like you, like, look, you have not aged, like, it's amazing in a good way. Like you're, like, imagine when you're 50, you're still gonna look young. Is that a little bit AI?

• 53:51Connor Wood?

  No, that's, wait.

• 53:53Brooke Averick?

  That's actually completely artificial intelligence.

• 53:56Connor Wood?

  Well, because the background is not that color in that picture.

• 53:58Brooke Averick?

  What is FavaCon?

• 53:59Connor Wood?

  Let's find out. Who was Connor Wood? Energizing lifestyle content with humor, brand power, and cultural relevance. Connor Wood is a US-based content creator for his comedic skits. Okay, this is just...

• 54:11Brooke Averick?

  He frequently collaborates with food and beverages, with food and beverage brands like Wendy's and Celsius, integrating sponsorships into casual, humorous posts without breaking tone. Good job, Connor.

• 54:22Connor Wood?

  Thank you so much.

• 54:23Brooke Averick?

  He also co-hosts a podcast that complements his digital presence with longer-form conversations.

• 54:28Connor Wood?

  100%.

• 54:29Brooke Averick?

  I completely agree. Look, there's your fibs and friends.

• 54:31Connor Wood?

  Yes.

• 54:32Brooke Averick?

  That's a great, I love that outfit and that. His Instagram content includes random outfit pics, group photos with internet personalities, and comedic captions that contrast heavily with the visuals.

• 54:45Brooke Averick?

  Very good job.

• 54:48Brooke Averick?

  His chaotic energy, you kind of transfer that into the structured conversations. He rarely uses traditional CTA language. Instead, he relies on his personal brand to carry partnerships.

• 54:58Connor Wood?

  Great. I don't want to scroll down and see my growth in the past 30 days. It's gonna be zero.

• 55:05Brooke Averick?

  That's not bad. Wait, that's good. Why is it red? Why is plus red? Good job, Connor.

• 55:12Connor Wood?

  Thank you, guys.

• 55:14Brooke Averick?

  Oh, Connor's social media strategy.

• 55:17Connor Wood?

  Can we stop doing this?

• 55:20Brooke Averick?

  You have a lot of followers.

• 55:23Connor Wood?

  You have more.

• 55:25Brooke Averick?

  No, wait. Oh, on TikTok?

• 55:26Connor Wood?

  Yeah. Totally does.

• 55:30Brooke Averick?

  Oh, my.

• 55:32Connor Wood?

  I was gonna say about Dune while we're on the subs.

• 55:38Connor Wood?

  You know Zendaya was just like,

• 55:41Connor Wood?

  Rob was like, "I want to be in Dune", and she was like, "Okay, one second", and she made one phone call and then he was just in Dune.

• 55:48Brooke Averick?

  Rob was in Dune?

• 55:49Connor Wood?

  He's in the new Dune. He's the new, he's the new worm.

• 55:58Connor Wood?

  He's so scary. He has my eyebrows.

• 56:01Brooke Averick?

  He's amazing.

• 56:04Brooke Averick?

  Wow.

• 56:06Connor Wood?

  I don't know what Dune's about, sorry. I was assuming that's a breathing apparatus, but I don't know what they're up to. It just looks completely miserable. It looks like Burning Man if there was like no music. It just looks so dumb. Like, not dumb, I know people really like it. I just like, I really tried to watch the first movie, and I watched Where Is Zendaya? Where Is Zendaya? Where Is Zendaya? Almost Googling.

• 56:29Brooke Averick?

  Apparently the second one was so good.

• 56:31Connor Wood?

  I can't get into it. Did you guys, did you guys all see it? I'm sorry, I just almost called it dumb. I don't think it's dumb. I'm dumb, I don't get it. Did you like it, Grace?

• 56:40Brooke Averick?

  I didn't get it.

• 56:41Connor Wood?

  Okay, Grace didn't like it either. You didn't like it?

• 56:44Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. I think the first one is kind of, it's like giving like Akatar, where it's like you just have to watch the first one to kind of conceptualize the second one.

• 56:53Connor Wood?

  I need to go get like completely my brain, like maybe my sides are switched. Like I think maybe my right side is supposed to be on my left side type shit.

• 57:02Connor Wood?

  Cause I don't get.

• 57:03Brooke Averick?

  Does that happen ever?

• 57:04Connor Wood?

  I don't know.

• 57:05Brooke Averick?

  I know it happens with like your colon.

• 57:08Connor Wood?

  You know what I learned recently?

• 57:09Brooke Averick?

  What?

• 57:10Connor Wood?

  If you're unable to take anything seriously and you make jokes about everything, it's usually a common sign of frontal lobe damage. And, and I'm like, well, I've never hit my head very hard. And then someone was like, and the other sign of frontal lobe damage is you don't remember getting it.

• 57:26Brooke Averick?

  Someone would tell you, unless you were completely alone, which would be rare.

• 57:32Connor Wood?

  Every time.

• 57:33Brooke Averick?

  To suffer a traumatic brain injury, like completely alone and untreated.

• 57:36Connor Wood?

  A traumatic brain injury.

• 57:37Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 57:38Connor Wood?

  But I also, um,

• 57:41Connor Wood?

  every time I hear the word alone, I think of Squidward with all those tiles in the void. That's the worst.

• 57:49Connor Wood?

  SpongeBob sometimes hit me like in a very panic attack space.

• 57:54Brooke Averick?

  In the book that I'm reading, the, this woman is a race. So that means her soul can like hop from body to body to body.

• 58:01Connor Wood?

  Good for her.

• 58:02Brooke Averick?

  And as a punishment for betraying her government, they took her soul out of its current body, locked it in a box and threw it to the bottom of the ocean.

• 58:10Connor Wood?

  You evil witch. Why did you tell me?

• 58:12Brooke Averick?

  And now it's, she's just gonna live, her soul is going to live in eternity in a box at the bottom of the ocean. She's going, she's gonna go insane for indefinite, forever, infinity.

• 58:24Brooke Averick?

  Is that not horrible? But like, I almost can't think of anything worse. Right now, she's in a box.

• 58:31Brooke Averick?

  I think they'll get her though, like eventually.

• 58:35Connor Wood?

  You.

• 58:35Brooke Averick?

  Been there for months though.

• 58:36Connor Wood?

  If someone puts my soul in a box.

• 58:38Brooke Averick?

  I'll let you know if they ever got find her.

• 58:40Connor Wood?

  No, you need to legitimately come get me.

• 58:44Brooke Averick?

  I mean, imagine Connor, like she's at the equivalent of the bottom of the Mariana Trench. She's with the cables.

• 58:49Connor Wood?

  Okay. So I think that that sounds horrible, but truly that's exactly how I felt when I was doing that survey for money in college.

• 58:56Brooke Averick?

  You felt like you were in the box?

• 58:57Connor Wood?

  I felt like I was at that bottom of the ocean. My soul was locked in a box and we were arguing over vaginal meth, mesh, not vaginal.

• 59:06Connor Wood?

  Vaginal mesh.

• 59:07Brooke Averick?

  Were you doing calls about vaginal mesh?

• 59:08Connor Wood?

  No, that was my call center job. When I was doing the survey.

• 59:11Brooke Averick?

  I didn't know it was about vaginal mesh.

• 59:13Connor Wood?

  Yes, it was a mock trial and they were seeing who was wrongfully, I think it was like wrongful.

• 59:22Connor Wood?

  They fucked her shit up. Basically like her vaginal mesh was like distraught.

• 59:30Connor Wood?

  It's like all over the place.

• 59:35Brooke Averick?

  Wait, what is vaginal mesh?

• 59:37Connor Wood?

  Like if you.

• 59:38Brooke Averick?

  Like your uterine lining?

• 59:40Connor Wood?

  Like if you have some sort of, um.

• 59:42Brooke Averick?

  She got like an implant?

• 59:45Connor Wood?

  Like some reconstruction down there and then they like grotesquely F up. You had to get vaginal mesh to like,

• 59:54Connor Wood?

  like to reform and things like to rebuild it, not, not you. So, um, everyone was like, I was like full blown like, fuck that up, like give this woman her money, you know, like,

• 1:00:08Brooke Averick?

  Why? So were you making calls on behalf of?

• 1:00:11Connor Wood?

  No, I was sitting in a room with like 12 of a jury of my own peers, which like is crazy because I was like, this is jury duty, full blown, like you couldn't have put a more random group. There's a pregnant woman. There was like, full blown like crackhead. There was like, like, like an older gentleman, like old, old, old, like 150 something. They look like a tortoise or a ghost. And then, um, like a middle aged, like, mom type that was like probably still, and we're like, the whole thing was like, we get to leave when we come to a consensus. Like some people were like, mm, no, I can't agree. It's, we'd be like nine out of 10 people would agree. And, and I was like, literally,

• 1:00:56Connor Wood?

  I like blew my lid at some point and I'm in college. Yeah, I'm 19. I'm like, literally it doesn't matter. Like, it doesn't matter. This is fake. And they came in the room. I didn't know they were watching us one way mirror type shit. You can't do that.

• 1:01:10Connor Wood?

  I was like, okay, that makes sense.

• 1:01:12Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 1:01:13Connor Wood?

  I had to just, it was just like,

• 1:01:14Brooke Averick?

  So how did it end up?

• 1:01:17Connor Wood?

  The woman got her money.

• 1:01:18Brooke Averick?

  Good, good.

• 1:01:18Connor Wood?

  Like hypothetically though, and I got my money too. It was $800. Two full days, like of seven and a half hours in this room. My soul was trapped at the bottom of the ocean, had to eat lunch with these folks. They took our phones the whole day. Not that I was like, really doing any, I think I still probably had Vine.

• 1:01:38Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 1:01:39Connor Wood?

  Like I really didn't have anything to do. But still, it was just like, wow, wow, wow. Like the first day was so horrible that I almost thought about, you didn't get paid per day. You got paid when you finish. And I almost thought about not going back the second day. And my roommates were like, you're, you're going back.

• 1:01:54Brooke Averick?

  Wow.

• 1:01:55Connor Wood?

  To pay rent.

• 1:01:57Connor Wood?

  The call center was completely different.

• 1:01:59Brooke Averick?

  I've heard of that story so many times, but it's crazy that you just failed to mention it was all around vaginal mesh.

• 1:02:04Connor Wood?

  The whole thing was orbiting around the mesh.

• 1:02:06Brooke Averick?

  So.

• 1:02:06Connor Wood?

  Vaginally.

• 1:02:07Brooke Averick?

  It's crazy what, what you choose to admit.

• 1:02:10Connor Wood?

  Vaginally, something like that can never happen again to me.

• 1:02:14Brooke Averick?

  I got that. Oh, I got that. I got a letter in a mail, in a mailbox, and it happened to be mine.

• 1:02:25Brooke Averick?

  I missed jury duty again, believe it or not, and this is my final warning.

• 1:02:29Connor Wood?

  And then you go to jail?

• 1:02:31Brooke Averick?

  And I have to pay a fine, but like I will go to jury duty this time.

• 1:02:35Connor Wood?

  You could get a fun one.

• 1:02:37Brooke Averick?

  It's just hard because it's like I always put it off and I schedule it and I'm like, okay, I'll just schedule it in a year and deal with it then. Then I either forget or something comes up.

• 1:02:47Connor Wood?

  I got out of my last one because I was on the road for work. I was just doing shows somewhere. But I didn't even receive it. It went straight to my, um, lawyer.

• 1:03:00Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I just keep saying I haven't received it.

• 1:03:02Connor Wood?

  Yeah. Um, it's kind of, by the way, the ignorance is bliss thing does not work.

• 1:03:08Brooke Averick?

  I know.

• 1:03:08Connor Wood?

  Like the, what is it called? Like pleading in it, like you, or wait, ignorance?

• 1:03:15Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 1:03:16Connor Wood?

  Like it does not play.

• 1:03:17Brooke Averick?

  No, it's, uh, it's, it should.

• 1:03:20Connor Wood?

  So weird because I full-blown forget all the time about physical mail. Like I'm like, if it's not a package, like email it to me.

• 1:03:26Brooke Averick?

  I, I'm all digital, like all of my stuff.

• 1:03:29Connor Wood?

  I'm a digital girl living in a digital world. Try to, try to shoot me that in an email.

• 1:03:34Brooke Averick?

  Try and keep up.
