  Ugh, I hate Mondays.

• 0:01Speaker 01

  King's Hawaiian cinnamon swirl bite?

• 0:03Speaker 00

  Uh, Taylor Hansen? Sure, I'll try one. Mmm.

• 0:09Speaker 02

  Hey, let's get back to work, please.

• 0:10Speaker 00

  But Taylor Hansen's making my day way better with these new soft and swirly King's Hawaiian cinnamon bites.

• 0:15Speaker 02

  Taylor Hansen? Nice.

• 0:17Speaker 01

  Try one.

• 0:18Speaker 02

  Mmm.

• 0:22Speaker 03

  King's Hawaiian cinnamon bites. There's nothing like it.

• 0:37Brooke Averick?

  Um, it's good to see you.

• 0:41Connor Wood?

  Are we going?

• 0:42Brooke Averick?

  Mm-hmm.

• 0:43Connor Wood?

  Oh, it's so good to see you. What are you wearing?

• 0:53Brooke Averick?

  Do not be weird.

• 0:56Connor Wood?

  So weird. I was wondering, oh, what's that material?

• 0:59Brooke Averick?

  Could you not see?

• 1:00Connor Wood?

  I can see you loud and clear.

• 1:20Brooke Averick?

  I actually am wearing this sweatshirt that I got from TikTok Shop that I really like.

• 1:26Connor Wood?

  Hmm.

• 1:27Brooke Averick?

  It is, um...

• 1:30Brooke Averick?

  What's the name of a sweatshirt that's like a zip-up hoodie?

• 1:34Connor Wood?

  Um, a zip-up hoodie.

• 1:35Brooke Averick?

  Is it just a zip-up hoodie?

• 1:36Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 1:37Brooke Averick?

  Okay, I'm wearing a zip-up hoodie. I'm wearing a black-

• 1:38Connor Wood?

  That's one of the classics.

• 1:39Brooke Averick?

  Black tank from The Gap.

• 1:42Connor Wood?

  Ooh, sexy.

• 1:43Brooke Averick?

  Eh, Connor.

• 1:45Connor Wood?

  Wait, what is that line from? Like, what are you wearing? Is that just from, like, phone sex?

• 1:50Brooke Averick?

  Yes. It's like the phone sex opener.

• 1:53Connor Wood?

  There's... okay.

• 1:57Brooke Averick?

  But it's also like red carpet. I think like that's kind of why red carpets have like ventured from like, what are you wearing to like, to tell me what story your fit?

• 2:07Connor Wood?

  Well, no, because they don't say what are you wearing.

• 2:09Brooke Averick?

  What story are you telling with your outfit?

• 2:10Connor Wood?

  They don't say what they-

• 2:11Brooke Averick?

  Is that what you're trying to ask me?

• 2:13Connor Wood?

  First of all, I like where you've spun this whole thing on its head and I like that about you. They're constantly spinning and you're turning things on their heads. They ask, who are you wearing on the carpet?

• 2:26Brooke Averick?

  You're right.

• 2:27Connor Wood?

  Imagine I call the phone sex hotline, 1-800-HOT-CHEKS and I go, who are you wearing?

• 2:33Brooke Averick?

  I love that.

• 2:35Connor Wood?

  I'm wearing a timeless piece from Skims and it's not bunching up my crack.

• 2:40Brooke Averick?

  It's completely breathable.

• 2:42Connor Wood?

  I go, oh, that is very sexy.

• 2:45Brooke Averick?

  I love that. And I'm wearing Gap jeans that are like low rise and baggy, which is new for me.

• 2:51Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 2:53Brooke Averick?

  And it's also why I've zipped up my hoodie like over the piece of my body where my stomach meets below it.

• 3:01Connor Wood?

  So what kind of story are you telling with your look today?

• 3:04Brooke Averick?

  I was going for like comfortable chic, like, oh, I didn't think about this outfit at all.

• 3:10Connor Wood?

  That's cool.

• 3:11Brooke Averick?

  Even though I did.

• 3:14Connor Wood?

  I like that.

• 3:14Brooke Averick?

  And I'm doing micro bangs.

• 3:17Connor Wood?

  Ooh, hashtag influenced by Papa.

• 3:21Brooke Averick?

  By you, by Papa?

• 3:22Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 3:22Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 3:23Connor Wood?

  My micro bangs. My micro bangs were like completely, it was crazy to see one individual person rallying behind me. Like, I'm like, get behind me, let's storm. There was one person that was like, I'm, DMs me and said, like, I was scared to comment because like everyone was very clearly like against the micro bangs. And I like, we were having fun.

• 3:44Brooke Averick?

  Me and you?

• 3:46Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 3:46Brooke Averick?

  Oh, absolutely. Yeah.

• 3:47Connor Wood?

  But she came into my DMs and said, I just like privately want to let you know, I think they looked good. And I go, get your eyes checked.

• 3:53Brooke Averick?

  No, people were really coming for me. Like, you need to let him express himself. He looks amazing. And like, I'm sorry if I stifled that. I just, you always tell me to be really honest.

• 4:05Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 4:05Brooke Averick?

  And that's just how I was feeling. But like, if you like them, you like them.

• 4:09Connor Wood?

  No, I'm not someone who's, if, if I look bad, I mean, we've already done this, okay? Like, there was the episode where I wore my hair down for the whole episode and you guys were like, like, you didn't even acknowledge it.

• 4:21Brooke Averick?

  That's what I'm saying. Like, I had private thoughts and I didn't say, and I didn't express them, and then you got mad.

• 4:26Connor Wood?

  Well, that hair was almost like I had been afflicted by something bigger than myself. And no one said a word, and that made me question our relationship, you know, like.

• 4:35Brooke Averick?

  That's why to those listeners out there, like, that really upset Connor when I didn't, when I didn't say anything.

• 4:40Connor Wood?

  Oh, beyond. This, no, I'm, I'm cool to have a conversation about the bo, my body and the way I carry it.

• 4:46Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 4:47Connor Wood?

  I would want someone to step in if there was something that's sticking up, being like, are you sure this is what you want?

• 4:52Brooke Averick?

  Normally, I would not ever comment on anything anyone is doing with their hair or body.

• 4:58Connor Wood?

  Privately, of course, we're having a sidebar.

• 4:59Brooke Averick?

  I wouldn't even do it privately, usually.

• 5:02Connor Wood?

  I would, I, you have to.

• 5:02Brooke Averick?

  I know you do. But like, to me, your bangs are my sherpa.

• 5:06Connor Wood?

  Your bangs are my sherpa. Oh.

• 5:12Brooke Averick?

  When you wouldn't let me wear my sherpa.

• 5:13Connor Wood?

  Aren't my sherpa. The purple timepiece?

• 5:16Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, timeless.

• 5:18Connor Wood?

  I know, that, that, that had a, that had a, that jacket had a expiration date.

• 5:24Brooke Averick?

  So here we are.

• 5:26Connor Wood?

  Um, oh, wait, sherpa reminds me of something crazy that, uh, someone gave me at my show in Durham, North Carolina last week.

• 5:33Brooke Averick?

  What?

• 5:34Connor Wood?

  Someone gave me a merka.

• 5:36Brooke Averick?

  What's a merka?

• 5:37Connor Wood?

  I think it's a bush, a stick-on bush for my, for my, uh.

• 5:42Brooke Averick?

  Wait, what, something carpet? Kitty carpet?

• 5:45Connor Wood?

  It's called a kitty carpet.

• 5:46Brooke Averick?

  I don't think that's for you.

• 5:49Connor Wood?

  Um.

• 5:51Connor Wood?

  Okay, but it can be, it can be trimmed to fun shapes. So I feel like I could make it work.

• 5:58Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 5:59Connor Wood?

  In my, in my Sherpa area.

• 6:02Brooke Averick?

  Did, have you like expressed wanting something like that?

• 6:05Connor Wood?

  No, I think it was really just like free rein. They saw this and they felt like it called. I mean, if, if I had expressed outwardly about wanting Merkin, not Merka.

• 6:16Brooke Averick?

  Merkin?

• 6:17Connor Wood?

  Merkin.

• 6:20Connor Wood?

  If I had expressed wanting a Merkin, I would have been here. I, um, I've never said I didn't want one. So I guess like it's kind of just like open. And it says botched Brazilian, misbehaved shave, unveiled vajayjay, kitty carpet, reusable downstairs toupee.

• 6:37Brooke Averick?

  I was gonna say it looks like a toupee.

• 6:39Connor Wood?

  I'm gonna take it out of its pack.

• 6:40Brooke Averick?

  Take it out of its package. Remember when everyone would say vajayjay? And it was like the funniest thing in the world.

• 6:46Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I feel like Katy Perry came up with that. Whoa, it's, it's, um, like large and in charge.

• 6:54Brooke Averick?

  That is like not a color that I've ever seen it.

• 6:59Brooke Averick?

  And like, that's not, yeah.

• 7:02Connor Wood?

  Hello?

• 7:03Brooke Averick?

  That's, that's definitely decorative. Like that's not meant to look natural. It's definitely a statement piece.

• 7:09Connor Wood?

  Well, it can be trimmed.

• 7:11Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, regardless of the shape and color, like, or the shape and size, like that color is like, it's meant to be a statement piece.

• 7:19Connor Wood?

  It's very soft. It feels like a Yorkie poo.

• 7:22Brooke Averick?

  Is it?

• 7:24Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 7:25Connor Wood?

  Like if I was to describe the softness, it truly feels like a, like a Shih Tzu puppy.

• 7:29Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 7:31Connor Wood?

  Wow, what a lovely Merkin you have. Thank you.

• 7:35Brooke Averick?

  Maybe you could trim it into a soul pad.

• 7:37Connor Wood?

  You put this, you put the sticky, oh, should I do it right now?

• 7:40Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, not now. Maybe for bonus, you could do soul pad.

• 7:42Connor Wood?

  For bonus, I'm gonna put the Merkin on my chin.

• 7:45Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 7:46Connor Wood?

  Like that Nicki Minaj song.

• 7:47Brooke Averick?

  You wanna see Connor put the Merkin on his chin?

• 7:48Connor Wood?

  Maybe it's time to put this pussy on your chin. Um, okay, cool. Well, so that came from there. What was I gonna tell you? Oh.

• 8:00Connor Wood?

  Hmm. I made, I'm, I guess like, let me, let me get ahead of a bunch of stuff really quick. Unless you have something pertinent that's happened this morning that you're gonna like, forget, or you want to get off right away.

• 8:11Brooke Averick?

  All yours.

• 8:12Connor Wood?

  Okay, so I'm actively moving out. So I guess to chat with you guys, to Chattanooga really quick. I don't have a home after, after I leave on Friday.

• 8:24Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 8:25Connor Wood?

  So the patience needed on my behalf, um, for the coming weeks, in case I am without home. Like, we may be doing some, like, genuine, remote, OG, remote mic on my laptop podcasting.

• 8:39Brooke Averick?

  What if you came to LA while you don't have a home?

• 8:41Connor Wood?

  I'm gonna be in LA on, starting Sunday.

• 8:45Brooke Averick?

  Oh, for, just because you don't have home?

• 8:47Connor Wood?

  Well, I've, I have Netflix is a joke next week.

• 8:50Brooke Averick?

  Yes.

• 8:51Connor Wood?

  So I actually need to talk to you guys about, it's on Wednesday.

• 8:55Brooke Averick?

  Girl.

• 8:55Connor Wood?

  Maybe. Yeah. Anyways, we'll cross that bridge. Um, but yeah, so I'm looking for, I'm obviously looking for an apartment, and I just told you guys, they have been touring my apartment just about every day, which is awesome, because they are like, it is in shambles. I'm like, I'm moving out, and I, and this is just a kind of, kind of how I live. They go, there's so many rocks in the kitchen. I go, those are my rocks. Like, that's the rock area.

• 9:20Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 9:21Connor Wood?

  Of my kitchen. Um, I found the perfect apartment last week. So basically, in New York, there's only one app you can use, basically, StreetEasy, to find an apartment. And, like, even if you get, like, if you have a friend that, like, works in the realtor space, they're sending you links to StreetEasy. It's like, I'm confused. But I got one that was genuinely my ideal place. And I was like, oh, I did it, and I did this on my own. And I, it was in my budget. It was in my area. It was, it checked every single box. Perfect little podcast studio and house. Not like a five-floor walk-up, where like, I'm walking up five flights

• 10:03Connor Wood?

  of stairs every day, and I'm, perfect. I read the description, because it was one of those things, you know, when you find the perfect whatever, and you just, like, keep clicking the link and, and reading and about it, and like, clicking through the pictures, and looking at the floor plan, and just like, writing your first name, and then the apartment address as your last name, in your diary. I get down to this bottom line, that like, I, I really figured was about legalities, and I hadn't read it yet.

• 10:28Connor Wood?

  Note, this listing is for the walk-in closet portion of the bedroom only, all caps. Not the complete bedroom or apartment, and not the king bed.

• 10:38Brooke Averick?

  No.

• 10:39Connor Wood?

  So my perfect listing in my budget is someone's closet.

• 10:42Brooke Averick?

  Someone is looking for someone to live in their closet?

• 10:46Connor Wood?

  That part I hadn't even thought, yeah, I hadn't even gotten there. I'm bummed about my, my dream apartment.

• 10:52Brooke Averick?

  Someone listed their closet? Okay.

• 10:55Connor Wood?

  Yeah, and the walk-in closet is in their bed, is in the bedroom. So jail.

• 11:05Connor Wood?

  Jail would be good. I do wanna like, now that you said that, maybe flag it, but they're not hiding anything, you know?

• 11:12Brooke Averick?

  That's so interesting. No, I mean, I guess they're just looking for a roommate.

• 11:17Connor Wood?

  Closet mate. It kind of seems like they're looking for like,

• 11:22Connor Wood?

  something lower than a roommate. Someone to-

• 11:24Brooke Averick?

  A sub?

• 11:28Connor Wood?

  I don't, I don't even know if it was sexual.

• 11:30Brooke Averick?

  Have you ever watched that movie I told you to?

• 11:32Connor Wood?

  Uh, the one with-

• 11:34Brooke Averick?

  Like the gay BDSM one?

• 11:36Connor Wood?

  The gay BDSM, BDSM. What is it?

• 11:38Brooke Averick?

  Pillian?

• 11:39Connor Wood?

  No, I didn't watch it.

• 11:41Brooke Averick?

  You need to.

• 11:41Connor Wood?

  You told me I wouldn't like it and I-

• 11:43Brooke Averick?

  But I want you to, I want your thoughts.

• 11:45Connor Wood?

  Maybe I'll watch it in LA when I'm there.

• 11:47Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, that's like something I really want to hear what you think. Thank you Izzy. Izzy brought me my, um, coffee. I-

• 11:55Connor Wood?

  Sweet.

• 11:56Brooke Averick?

  Did not have any this morning, so I'm gonna take a little, little sippy.

• 12:02Brooke Averick?

  I hope you don't mind.

• 12:04Connor Wood?

  Enjoy. No, do it.

• 12:05Brooke Averick?

  Thank you.

• 12:07Connor Wood?

  What is it? What is that? Matcha? Oh, good.

• 12:11Brooke Averick?

  Let me, let me put a straw in here.

• 12:12Connor Wood?

  Go ahead. No, do whatever you have to do over there.

• 12:16Brooke Averick?

  I see you have a beverage as well?

• 12:18Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I got a green juice.

• 12:20Brooke Averick?

  Nice, what's in it?

• 12:23Connor Wood?

  Well, it's pure greens with lemon and ginger, kale, spinach, cucumber, celery, zucchini, romaine. Which is funny, because romaine... No, we don't need to have a conversation about romaine.

• 12:34Brooke Averick?

  No, we do, and I'll tell you why.

• 12:35Connor Wood?

  Okay, tell me why we had... I was just gonna say, romaine lettuce will always remind me of when I went to Whole Foods, and I said, "Hi, what aisle is the iceberg?" They go, "We don't sell iceberg." I go, "Oh." Did I... For a second, I thought I was like, being canceled, because I thought that iceberg was like, a word we didn't use anymore, one. Or like, two, are we boycotting iceberg? Like, is it like, there's like a Titanic boycott happening? And I was like, "Oh, I would've known about that." Iceberg. And I go, "Um, why don't you have iceberg?" And they go, "It doesn't have any nutritional value. We don't sell it here."

• 13:11Brooke Averick?

  Which, like, who gives a fuck? Like, it's not like it's bad for you. And the point is, like, you can put so many, like, things that are good for you around it.

• 13:20Connor Wood?

  Yeah, iceberg is a vehicle to move things from point A to point my mouth.

• 13:24Brooke Averick?

  The way... Do you ever watch Baked by Melissa's mukbangs? Mukbangs?

• 13:28Connor Wood?

  No, I don't watch her mukbangs, no, but I follow that.

• 13:31Brooke Averick?

  I guess it's not even that. It's just like, her cooking and eating. Um, so not a mukbang at all. But the way that she frames food, I always think about, like, if she were my mom, I would have, like, the healthiest relationship with food, because she's so pro, like, carbs, and like, bread, pita, whatever, as just like, a vehicle for the nutrients. She's like, "Yeah, this is perfect. Don't even worry about it. Like, this is good." You just like, because you need it to, like, get the nutrients in you.

• 14:02Connor Wood?

  He's pretty matter-of-fact.

• 14:04Brooke Averick?

  She's really, yeah, I really like the way that she eats and frames the eating experience and cooks. But I'll tell you why we need to talk about romaine.

• 14:14Connor Wood?

  Happy Mother's Day, Baked by Melissa.

• 14:16Brooke Averick?

  Happy Mother's Day to Baked by Melissa, and Baked by Melissa only. Um, but I have...

• 14:25Brooke Averick?

  Been doing so many podcasts recently that are, that will come out later, but that are all like book related and awesome. Like I've had so much fun and it's great to be able to talk about that. But like, you know what I can't talk about during those? Romaine.

• 14:43Connor Wood?

  Romaine.

• 14:43Brooke Averick?

  And just like when my head wanders, it's like, I can't just say what popped in.

• 14:49Connor Wood?

  Wow.

• 14:50Brooke Averick?

  So I've had, it's actually like this whole, just like Phoebe press experience while amazing has really kind of sparked or reignit this, the spark of my love for Brooke Connor Make A Podcast.

• 15:07Connor Wood?

  I love that, bro. Wow. That's so amazing. Yeah, I could see that being when you're doing press for, for, to promote something and it's not some like work, like, like when I do press for like a tour, if I'm launching a tour, it is just like, oh, it's fun. I want to come see him be fun. But like you're promoting your, your work, like your written work. Like that's totally different. Like

• 15:31Brooke Averick?

  No, it's pretty serious. Like I'm not being funny at all.

• 15:34Connor Wood?

  No, it hasn't. You have a prompt, you know?

• 15:37Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, no. And it's again,

• 15:39Connor Wood?

  That's crazy.

• 15:39Brooke Averick?

  So fun and amazing. I love it. And always a pleasure to talk about the book. It's different.

• 15:45Connor Wood?

  Oh, wow. To rewire your brain.

• 15:47Brooke Averick?

  To rewire.

• 15:49Connor Wood?

  Someone says something and you can't be like, oh my God, like my college professor doesn't eat Romaine because she had Romaine that had

• 15:58Brooke Averick?

  E. coli, diarrhea. And it's just shit like that. So it's like, I feel, I felt, I've been feeling really happy to be sitting in the Kylie Clarkson recently.

• 16:07Connor Wood?

  Oh my gosh. Well, we're lucky to, we're lucky to have you.

• 16:09Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Thanks for having me.

• 16:11Connor Wood?

  This family, this room.

• 16:12Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. And this family in this room.

• 16:14Speaker 00

  Ugh, I hate Mondays.

• 16:16Speaker 01

  Kinks, wine and cinnamon swirl bite?

• 16:18Speaker 00

  Taylor Hanson? Sure, I'll try one.

• 16:23Speaker 03

  Hey, let's get back to work, please.

• 16:25Speaker 00

  But Taylor Hanson's making my day way better with these new soft and swirly King's Hawaiian cinnamon bites.

• 16:29Speaker 03

  Taylor Hanson? Nice.

• 16:31Connor Wood?

  Try one.

• 16:36Speaker 02

  King's Hawaiian cinnamon bites. There's nothing like it.

• 16:44Connor Wood?

  Speaking of my professor that hate, uh, romaine, can't eat romaine anymore because of the poop on it from the fields.

• 16:54Connor Wood?

  I am, obviously, like, I cooked on my stove this morning because I'm trying to get rid of the groceries that I have because I'm genuinely leaving Friday and I'm not, I'm not coming back to this apartment.

• 17:03Brooke Averick?

  Right.

• 17:04Connor Wood?

  Like movers are coming while I'm gone.

• 17:06Brooke Averick?

  Where will they put your stuff, Connor?

• 17:09Connor Wood?

  It's cool. New York is cool. Like, New York, people have lived here, like, like, New York is cool. People have lived here for a long time.

• 17:16Brooke Averick?

  Check it out.

• 17:17Connor Wood?

  You, you have to check out New York. It's gorgeous time of year. New York has had people living here for so long that they have, like, problem solved a lot of things. Where I'm like pulling out my hair and I'm like, what am I gonna do with my stuff? And all of the moving companies I've talked to, they're like, oh, well, just store it till you find your new apartment.

• 17:36Brooke Averick?

  Oh, that's perfect.

• 17:36Connor Wood?

  So they have, like, storage facilities.

• 17:38Brooke Averick?

  Like a built-in storage and moving in one.

• 17:40Connor Wood?

  They move it right to the unit. And then when, when you, when you find your place, they pull it all back out, put it back in the.

• 17:46Brooke Averick?

  That's awesome.

• 17:46Connor Wood?

  There's no... Yeah, yeah, it's so awesome. But the, the only thing I'm kind of worried about, which, like, I watch all these ads that people do with, like, roadway moving and cupcake moving and oatly move, I don't know, all the movers and they're always like, yeah, I was there and I didn't lift a finger and I didn't do that. And it does kind of seem like you do have to lift a finger.

• 18:07Brooke Averick?

  I did not lift a finger with roadway. That's what I'll say. No, and to the point where it's uncomfortable.

• 18:15Connor Wood?

  I'm not gonna be here.

• 18:16Brooke Averick?

  Like you just watch.

• 18:18Connor Wood?

  Oh my god, you're like a, you're like the moving cuck.

• 18:22Brooke Averick?

  You're a total moving cuck.

• 18:24Connor Wood?

  Wow.

• 18:25Brooke Averick?

  And I remember with roadway, like they had a, like, I was just like, I guess I'll like meet you at my new place. And then I just like waited there for a while because I like felt so uncomfortable watching them pack in silence.

• 18:36Connor Wood?

  Do their thing.

• 18:37Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Them, they were great because they packed for me too. Like I literally, there's, I didn't do anything. I, there was no prep for moving. It was literally just like a four hour experience. It was amazing. And the only thing that I really did was unpack.

• 18:52Connor Wood?

  I just like, I look around my apartment and I'm like, where are they gonna put my tchotchkes? You know?

• 18:56Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 18:58Connor Wood?

  But like you do have to, you do have to let go and let God with moving, especially with the movers. Like they, these boys were built, built for that. Boys and girls, maybe.

• 19:08Brooke Averick?

  You know that episode of Nathan For You where they framed the, like, movers as like a workout?

• 19:18Connor Wood?

  I didn't, I didn't see that.

• 19:19Brooke Averick?

  So you got people that actually paid to move you?

• 19:24Brooke Averick?

  Because it was their workout class?

• 19:26Connor Wood?

  Couldn't be more brilliant.

• 19:27Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 19:29Brooke Averick?

  He's so brilliant. I wonder what he's, what he's working on.

• 19:32Connor Wood?

  He was on Raya recently.

• 19:35Brooke Averick?

  Nice.

• 19:37Connor Wood?

  You know that?

• 19:38Brooke Averick?

  I mean, yeah, he's always there. He's there. There's like, I would say like there, my, three of my top five are on Raya.

• 19:47Connor Wood?

  Your big three?

• 19:47Brooke Averick?

  And I can't get on. And I'm making it worse all the time by just screaming about it.

• 19:55Brooke Averick?

  But I don't want to be on Raya. Like, can you imagine? Well, I obviously do so badly, but like, can you imagine like, dating app dates are anxiety inducing enough? Imagine like, no, I, I wouldn't match with them anyway, probably, but like, not because I don't think they would like me back, but like imagine like, Setting up a date with like Nathan Fielder and like knowing you're like showing up to like a seated dinner with Nathan Fielder. Like I'd much rather run into him in the wild than like show up for an intentional seated dinner. Like I wouldn't sleep for weeks.

• 20:31Connor Wood?

  That would be a tough dynamic, Brooke. I do want to say like although it seems like so amazing, it would be like really not fun. I don't think like I just want to like

• 20:38Brooke Averick?

  Do a seated dinner with Nathan?

• 20:40Connor Wood?

  I just want to like on a romantic level, like we've matched and I don't think that would be like you're

• 20:48Connor Wood?

  you would really want to like go on a date with someone you're a massive fan of?

• 20:52Brooke Averick?

  No, that's what I'm saying.

• 20:53Connor Wood?

  Well, then just you wouldn't, then you just don't match with them.

• 20:56Brooke Averick?

  I would want to meet them in the wild.

• 20:58Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 20:59Brooke Averick?

  Can you imagine? What am I going to do? I'm not going to swipe left. But then obviously like this swiping right and then having them like confirmed to not match back with you. How horrible. Like it's, I love sitting in this like ignorance is bliss of like, hey, they'd like me if they just got to know me. But like having that like firm confirmation of like, no, it would be too much. And like, I think it's actually a blessing. I've not been allowed onto Raya. Thank you, Raya. Thank you, the Raya.

• 21:26Connor Wood?

  Thank you for the blessing in disguise, Raya.

• 21:28Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, so.

• 21:29Connor Wood?

  Yeah. Um, it's, it's all, it's all gonna be A okay.

• 21:34Brooke Averick?

  I know.

• 21:34Connor Wood?

  I was sitting, I last night did a cool, it was just really nice out and I was going home from the gym. Love my gym still, by the way.

• 21:45Brooke Averick?

  That's awesome.

• 21:46Connor Wood?

  It's completely all old people at the times that I go.

• 21:52Connor Wood?

  And it's like me and it's like, it's like me and all my, it's, it's me and all my old people. It's so, I mean, anyways, yesterday I had my first like, I'm in the gym and I'm about to pass out moment and fully I was playing it off so much and I'm really pushing myself and I'm like full blown. Like there is, the room is spinning around my head like a cartoon. And I was like, oh God, let's do an, I think we go up and wait probably a little bit more. And I was doing the hump machine. You know what I'm talking about?

• 22:21Brooke Averick?

  No.

• 22:23Connor Wood?

  So many of these things are like actually, like these machines are actually.

• 22:30Connor Wood?

  Completely for like a humiliation ritual. I put a belt, you put a belt, you strap your waist and belt wise to the hump machine.

• 22:38Brooke Averick?

  Oh, like you're humping the air?

• 22:40Connor Wood?

  I'm humping the air. No, no, Izzy, Izzy. It's not even that kind of hump machine. I was upside down hump machine. So every time I would do it, by the way, it makes clanking sounds like you're on a work, like a construction site. Like I don't, it felt like the machine wasn't finished being put together. And then as soon as I was like, oh, it's pretty loud. He goes, yeah, we just got this. I'm like, oh my God, they put it together wrong. Like the hump machine is about to fall apart and I'm gonna be, I'm gonna die on the hump machine. So I'm kind of humping the air and every time I am dick up, face down, like then it makes that loud noise. So everyone's looking in my direction. I'm completely inverted and my pelvis is like facing north.

• 23:21Brooke Averick?

  And you were doing this all solo?

• 23:24Connor Wood?

  No, that was with a trainer. I have a trainer.

• 23:27Brooke Averick?

  Wow.

• 23:28Connor Wood?

  Yeah, he's amazing.

• 23:30Brooke Averick?

  I need.

• 23:31Connor Wood?

  Because it's a personal thing, I'm not gonna say his name. And then, you know?

• 23:36Brooke Averick?

  Have you ever said anyone's names before?

• 23:38Connor Wood?

  Yeah, Ray from Framebridge, who is like actively, next time you're in New York, he's gonna come on. So just like, Ray, if you're listening, which I like, I think that.

• 23:47Brooke Averick?

  You might.

• 23:48Connor Wood?

  I think that you might be, based on our conversation. He has, like, he has some stories to share with us. Like, he was really keen to come on.

• 23:57Brooke Averick?

  I would love to have Ray.

• 23:59Connor Wood?

  He had, he gave me some, some peeks into like, some of the stories he has to tell. And I was like, I don't even want, like, it was great. Like, the guy's been around the block.

• 24:09Brooke Averick?

  I think that that's our, like, missing secret sauce that we've not activated.

• 24:16Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 24:16Brooke Averick?

  Is random guests. Like, I think.

• 24:19Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 24:20Brooke Averick?

  Like, sometimes we'll have like a guest that like works, like Dill, you know? But other times it's hard because like, we have such a specific dynamic. And I think that that dynamic would really work with randoms.

• 24:34Connor Wood?

  I completely agree. It's like, there must be some magic in that old silk hat they found.

• 24:40Brooke Averick?

  In that what?

• 24:41Connor Wood?

  In that old silk hat they found.

• 24:43Brooke Averick?

  That old silk cap?

• 24:45Connor Wood?

  That old silk hat they found.

• 24:47Brooke Averick?

  That old silk hat?

• 24:48Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 24:50Brooke Averick?

  I don't get it.

• 24:51Connor Wood?

  Well, because when they, when they placed it on his hat, he began to dance around.

• 24:57Brooke Averick?

  Ray has a silk hat?

• 25:00Connor Wood?

  In many ways, yes.

• 25:04Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 25:05Connor Wood?

  Oh, you're Jewish. Oh, my God, you're Jewish. That's Frosty the Snowman. It's a song.

• 25:09Brooke Averick?

  Oh, no, I know Frosty. I don't, I guess I don't know the lyrics super well.

• 25:14Connor Wood?

  Okay, well, it's, there must have been some magic in that old silk cap they found.

• 25:18Brooke Averick?

  Okay, I didn't know about the silk cap. I just knew about the very shiny nose. Or had a very, is it shiny nose?

• 25:26Brooke Averick?

  Frosty the Snowman had a very, what, what did he have?

• 25:31Connor Wood?

  Very, mm.

• 25:36Brooke Averick?

  It's shiny nose?

• 25:37Connor Wood?

  With a silk cap and a button nose, button nose.

• 25:41Brooke Averick?

  Frosty the Snowman had a very.

• 25:44Connor Wood?

  Very special boy.

• 25:47Brooke Averick?

  Is this like that episode of The Office where Andy's trying to get that jingle? Give me a break, give me a break. Wait, Frosty the Snowman had a very.

• 25:56Speaker 06

  Jolly happy soul.

• 25:58Brooke Averick?

  No.

• 25:58Connor Wood?

  Jolly.

• 25:59Brooke Averick?

  Jolly happy soul?

• 26:01Connor Wood?

  Oh, my God.

• 26:02Brooke Averick?

  Frosty the Snowman had a very jolly happy soul. No.

• 26:05Connor Wood?

  I didn't realize he had a soul.

• 26:07Brooke Averick?

  Had a very.

• 26:07Speaker 06

  He was a very jolly.

• 26:09Brooke Averick?

  Frosty the Snowman was a very happy, jolly soul. That's not how it goes.

• 26:14Speaker 06

  Was a jolly happy soul.

• 26:16Brooke Averick?

  Frosty the Snowman was a jolly happy soul. I don't agree that that's how it went.

• 26:20Connor Wood?

  I don't agree.

• 26:21Brooke Averick?

  With corn, with corn cob pipe, with corn cob pipe, what, this, these can't be the lyrics.

• 26:27Connor Wood?

  Hello, I have corn cob pipe.

• 26:29Brooke Averick?

  I have corn cob pipe.

• 26:29Connor Wood?

  I have button nose, I have two eyes, they're made out of coal. Uh, they're saying I'm a fairy tale, I'm made out of snow, but I'm a very jolly happy.

• 26:42Brooke Averick?

  Is he Russian?

• 26:43Connor Wood?

  I don't know. That was like a new one for me.

• 26:47Connor Wood?

  Okay, I guess the only lyrics I knew genuinely were there must have been some magic in that old silk cap they found. When they placed it on his head, he began to dance around. Is the end of this, is the end of the song, he melts?

• 26:59Brooke Averick?

  To me, the only lyrics I knew were he had a very shiny nose, and those weren't the lyrics.

• 27:03Connor Wood?

  Frosty the Snowman had to hurry on his way, but he waved goodbye, saying, don't you cry, I'll be back again someday. How come, how come everything is like inherently very religious? Or.

• 27:15Brooke Averick?

  Are you saying Frosty's Jesus?

• 27:17Connor Wood?

  It did feel that way, because I mean, if he's coming back, he's reincarnated or not reinc, well, maybe he's reincarnated.

• 27:22Brooke Averick?

  They're just gonna remake him when there's snow again.

• 27:26Connor Wood?

  But he had a soul.

• 27:29Connor Wood?

  These children watched around as he died.

• 27:32Brooke Averick?

  Him, Izzy, I'm sorry, would you mind Googling, is Frosty a metaphor for Jesus?

• 27:37Connor Wood?

  Thanks.

• 27:37Brooke Averick?

  Because it always comes back to this. That was not the original intent of the creators, but many interpret Frosty the Samaritan as a secular metaphor or allegory for Jesus Christ.

• 27:47Connor Wood?

  Drawing parallels to his life, his death and the resurrection.

• 27:50Brooke Averick?

  Miraculous birth, Holy Spirit magic. Reincarnation. I got it.

• 27:57Connor Wood?

  Hi, Frosty's Jesus.

• 27:59Brooke Averick?

  Hi, come back someday.

• 28:01Connor Wood?

  That means that all those kids are like Pontius Pilate and like all of his disciples that betrayed him. Bye, good luck with the son, Frosty.

• 28:09Brooke Averick?

  Never heard of Pontius Pilate.

• 28:12Connor Wood?

  Um, I believe he betrayed Jesus, alert.

• 28:16Brooke Averick?

  Not Judas?

• 28:17Connor Wood?

  Judas, yeah. What was Pontius? Good job, Brooke.

• 28:21Brooke Averick?

  Thank you.

• 28:21Connor Wood?

  I love when, I love when, uh, Brooke goes Christian on my ass.

• 28:26Brooke Averick?

  He, um, was the governor.

• 28:30Connor Wood?

  Oh.

• 28:31Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. He, following his brutal suppression of a Samaritan uprising. Oh, wait, what?

• 28:41Brooke Averick?

  I don't know, like, I've never heard of this guy.

• 28:43Connor Wood?

  Okay, he did something bad.

• 28:44Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 28:45Connor Wood?

  Can we type in?

• 28:46Brooke Averick?

  He crucified Jesus? Oh, he was the crucifier.

• 28:50Connor Wood?

  Eesh, yeah, that's not good. Ugh.

• 28:53Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 28:55Connor Wood?

  Well, good to, I'm glad we covered.

• 28:56Brooke Averick?

  You know Judas's last name?

• 29:00Connor Wood?

  I, I, I thought they weren't doing last.

• 29:02Brooke Averick?

  I thought Judas was like Cher. But I'm seeing now that he has the last name. Iscariot.

• 29:10Connor Wood?

  That's a good name. Not a modern surname, but an epithet, likely meaning man of Curyath, which distinguished him from other disciples like Judas. Named Judas. Other theories suggest it means liar or derives from dagger-wielders, though man of Curyath is most widely, so it's just like the town he was from, Judas of Blank.

• 29:32Brooke Averick?

  Right, I get that.

• 29:34Connor Wood?

  Brook of, Brook of Main Line.

• 29:37Brooke Averick?

  I love that.

• 29:39Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 29:42Connor Wood?

  Thank God for this podcast. Like, how did? Why are we talking about Judas?

• 29:47Brooke Averick?

  Cause Frosty.

• 29:49Connor Wood?

  Oh, cause of Frosty. Why are we talking about Frosty?

• 29:51Brooke Averick?

  Because you started singing about a silk cap.

• 29:58Connor Wood?

  Yeah. Well, what are we gonna do?

• 30:01Brooke Averick?

  I do, I have something I like pretty, I do need to talk about.

• 30:06Connor Wood?

  Do it.

• 30:07Brooke Averick?

  And I would say like, from this point on in the episode, if you have like really strong negative feelings about Michael Jackson, I would end the episode. I would not listen to the rest of this episode. Because I saw Michael.

• 30:20Connor Wood?

  Yeah, in theater?

• 30:21Brooke Averick?

  In the, in theater. I saw it in theater.

• 30:25Brooke Averick?

  And it has led me to, I can't remember the last time I have done a dive like this. I have watched every single Michael Jackson film, documentary, TikTok, anything that has ever been made. I feel, I just, I feel really, really strongly about his mistreatment.

• 30:50Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 30:52Brooke Averick?

  This, I mean, first of all, go see the movie. I actually didn't, like, I wasn't obsessed with the movie in the way that you would think based off of the spiral that I've gone. Why are you plugging your nose?

• 31:02Connor Wood?

  I wasn't, it was, it's, I was dancing.

• 31:05Brooke Averick?

  Oh, okay.

• 31:05Connor Wood?

  No, go ahead. Sorry.

• 31:09Brooke Averick?

  The movie.

• 31:10Connor Wood?

  You didn't feel strongly before you?

• 31:11Brooke Averick?

  No, okay, great question. Before, I had always loved Michael's music, but was obviously just like very confused because like obviously a lot of different people are saying a lot of different things. And clearly there was

• 31:27Brooke Averick?

  a disturbance there, like, he wasn't well, and everything just really confused me. And I kind of just like never really looked into it too much, you know?

• 31:37Brooke Averick?

  But of course, loved the music. And kind of, I would say I previously was inclined to believe the negative things people were saying.

• 31:45Connor Wood?

  Right.

• 31:49Brooke Averick?

  But you know, after the movie, you kind of see how he grew up and how deeply he was abused. And the movie couldn't touch on much, just for like legal reasons. So for that reason, I did feel like it was missing like some soul. And like a big piece of the story. But it was good. And like the performances were amazing. Jafar was like, the only person that I think could play him, his nephew.

• 32:20Connor Wood?

  Yeah, that's pretty cool to do that.

• 32:22Brooke Averick?

  But the politics are so interesting because he's Jermaine Jackson's son. And it is my understanding from all the research that I've been doing that like Jermaine and Michael, like they were not on great terms.

• 32:34Connor Wood?

  Right.

• 32:35Brooke Averick?

  So it's very interesting. There's a lot of like family politics involved. Some of the Jackson family members were like, I do not fuck with this movie at all. And then some, including like his sons were like on set and producing. So it's interesting.

• 32:52Connor Wood?

  I'm confused. Like this all comes back down to like, I don't understand what an estate is. Is an estate made up, I would, I would assume like the estate is made up of the family of, but that's just my literal sense of like what an estate is like a, a large home, you know, where everyone lives and maybe the, the kin of the whoever this is, that would be your estate. But it's, an estate is made up of like a team of lawyers and like professionals, right?

• 33:18Brooke Averick?

  Right.

• 33:18Connor Wood?

  So, so they're ultimately deciding like, and that's, there's so much money in this that like, I don't think it ends up being like, this one was, this, this, this uncle or this, this cousin or this kid was closer to Michael. And so they are making an executive decisions. I think this is so big that like, these professionals are making these decisions on like a corporation level.

• 33:38Brooke Averick?

  I truly do not know how an estate works by any, like at all. And I can't even like pretend to say like, I can't even try to have a conversation pretending that I do. Like it is so beyond me. Like I really don't get it.

• 33:52Connor Wood?

  Can we look up, because that's who called the shots for this. It's been a long time coming for this movie and like, it wasn't easy even casting it. Okay. An estate is the total sum of all property assets and liabilities, including bank accounts, real estate, vehicles and personal belongings. That's owned by a person at the time of their death that acts as a legal entity, holding these assets, which are then managed, taxed and distributed by an executor.

• 34:16Connor Wood?

  So their estate is actually inanimate. So the inanimate piece is the executor.

• 34:27Connor Wood?

  And the executor is assigned pre-death, I believe.

• 34:30Brooke Averick?

  Right, by Michael, right?

• 34:31Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 34:31Brooke Averick?

  Surely? But like, no one's ever happy. You know, like, I'm sure like, not one of Michael's family members are satisfied, for better or for worse, like, I don't know, by, you know, it's never like, oh, yeah, this is exactly what I want.

• 34:50Connor Wood?

  Yeah, um.

• 34:54Connor Wood?

  I don't know how they call shots at all, to be honest.

• 34:57Brooke Averick?

  I don't either. And like, this is the kind of thing I'm saying, like, we should have a lawyer on the podcast that, like, we don't know to ask these questions to, like, we don't need to be having, like,

• 35:07Brooke Averick?

  random people with followers, like, we need a lawyer.

• 35:10Connor Wood?

  Wow, I wonder if...

• 35:13Connor Wood?

  I'm trying to think of, I follow some lawyers on TikTok, but like,

• 35:16Brooke Averick?

  We can offline, like, let's get a lawyer, and then another episode, I think we should do, like, scientists and stuff like that.

• 35:22Connor Wood?

  Look, let's have Kim Kardashian. Did she pass the bar?

• 35:24Brooke Averick?

  Oh, let's just have Kim. Not yet.

• 35:27Connor Wood?

  Oh.

• 35:27Brooke Averick?

  Not yet.

• 35:29Connor Wood?

  When she passes the bar, let's get Kim Kardashian on the pod.

• 35:33Brooke Averick?

  Agree.

• 35:34Connor Wood?

  We need someone that's like, so well-versed in this, but not literally, not like a serious lawyer, like, arrgh, arrgh, arrgh, arrgh, like, fun lawyer, fun lawyer.

• 35:42Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 35:43Connor Wood?

  Okay, movie.

• 35:44Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, so.

• 35:44Connor Wood?

  Hit us.

• 35:45Speaker 00

  Ugh, I hate Mondays.

• 35:47Speaker 01

  King's Hawaiian cinnamon swirl bite?

• 35:48Speaker 00

  Uh, Taylor Hansen? Sure, I'll try one. Mmm.

• 35:54Speaker 00

  Hey, let's get back to work, please. But Taylor Hansen's making my day way better with these new soft and swirly King's Hawaiian cinnamon bites. Taylor Hansen? Nice.

• 36:02Speaker 01

  Try one.

• 36:03Speaker 00

  Mmm.

• 36:07Speaker 02

  King's Hawaiian cinnamon bites. There's nothing like it.

• 36:15Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, anyway, I it was really good. Jafar like was the only person that I think could play Michael. I think he did him justice. He was amazing. There was a like just like a little bit of something missing for me, like a darkness or depth or something that they couldn't go into. But like it was it was good prompted this spiral and I just moral of the story is that the guy just had his childhood stolen from him and that was really kind of what he was trying to do for the rest of his life was like get that he was all he was kind of stuck in that spot like he really was like a big kid. Um, and that's kind of how everything

• 37:00Brooke Averick?

  hit the fan in a way.

• 37:03Connor Wood?

  That, yeah.

• 37:05Brooke Averick?

  But he was like like stunted kind of in a in a very heartbreaking way.

• 37:10Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I like I don't know enough about the thing. I just I know hearsay as well. I think we like kind of went into this a while back and we I think when the movie announced it was gonna come out, we kind of.

• 37:18Brooke Averick?

  We were like, wait, like, isn't he bad?

• 37:22Connor Wood?

  Well, we did a shallow doubt. Yeah, we did a Michael Phelps Tiger Woods style dive into like who Michael Jackson was. And then Macaulay Culkin, when the movie was released, remember, came out and was like, this was my friend, you know, like, nothing weird happened. I spent a lot of time with him. I didn't have a lot of friends in the industry. And this guy took me under his wing and showed me a good time and what a kid should have because he lacked that. So he wanted to make sure that these like child stars were able to have that. That was what I got out of the Macaulay Culkin thing. I mean, again, I could could be wrong. Can I ask a genuine question, earnest question from my heart?

• 37:54Brooke Averick?

  Yes, and I can try and answer it.

• 37:57Connor Wood?

  Like, obviously, they didn't in the movie touch on that. It's obviously for legal reasons. I they wouldn't.

• 38:01Brooke Averick?

  They did not get to any of the um, child abuse charges now.

• 38:07Connor Wood?

  Have we have there been like victims that have spoken out and been like, I was? Like how?

• 38:15Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 38:16Connor Wood?

  Oh, okay.

• 38:16Brooke Averick?

  That was with Finding Neverland, the document, or Leaving Neverland, Escaping Neverland. There was some, one of the Neverland documentaries was like people coming forward and being like, yes, I was abused, but it's tough because it was all after his death and he, there was, he had a trial before and was acquitted of all charges. There was a big FBI investigation. No one found anything. Um, and then after his death, a lot of people came forward and then it was, you know, what it's all, it's tough because it's like, you don't want to like negate someone's claims and experiences, but also like, he's not here to defend himself. He's been acquitted. I don't know. It's just, it's just a lot of hearsay. And so all I can do

• 39:01Brooke Averick?

  is go off of all of the media that I've consumed, which tells me Michael was just a kid, truly.

• 39:10Connor Wood?

  Yeah. Um, the movie was good though. Was it fun?

• 39:16Connor Wood?

  Was the movie fun for you?

• 39:17Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. No, the music, that's the thing. Like the music and the performances were incredible. I was dancing. I got a little bit bored at the end because I think I just felt like it was leading up to something like big and soul crushing and it never got there. It was kind of like a little bit of an edging experience.

• 39:34Connor Wood?

  Yeah. I feel like all of those movies that like Rocketman and Bohemian Rhapsody were missing like one big piece. And the big piece that was missing were like things that would open a can of worms that are hard to shut.

• 39:49Brooke Averick?

  Yes. Yes. But I think those two movies went a little bit deeper than this one did.

• 39:55Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 39:55Brooke Averick?

  Which is my critique, but also like, what can you do when there's all the lawyers? Um, anyway, I would go see it. I like, I'm only consuming Michael stuff now. I have a few documentaries left on the docket. Um, his best friends growing up were a llama and a chimp.

• 40:15Brooke Averick?

  He had a giraffe, like he literally was like just searching for like a connection and friendship and and his childhood and like that's that's what he had. His dad devil like incarnate worst guy that I have had the displeasure of of meeting.

• 40:38Connor Wood?

  Was it similar to Whitney or Amy Winehouse?

• 40:41Brooke Averick?

  Was it what?

• 40:42Connor Wood?

  Similar to Amy Winehouse situation that just.

• 40:43Brooke Averick?

  I actually like shockingly don't know too much about Amy.

• 40:48Connor Wood?

  Oh my.

• 40:49Brooke Averick?

  My doppel, but I don't know, but he was played by Coleman Domingo, who I like adore.

• 40:55Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 40:55Brooke Averick?

  And now I can't look at the guy.

• 40:57Connor Wood?

  Oh no.

• 40:58Brooke Averick?

  Mm hmm. He acted.

• 40:59Connor Wood?

  Too good of an actor.

• 41:00Brooke Averick?

  He played the part too well. I cannot look at him. Like even like his interviews and like him on the red carpet. I like have to scroll.

• 41:08Connor Wood?

  Wow, that's crazy.

• 41:10Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 41:10Connor Wood?

  Good job, Coleman.

• 41:12Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 41:13Connor Wood?

  Um, okay. Well, interesting. I don't I don't know if I I don't know if I'll go see it.

• 41:19Brooke Averick?

  Well, do you know about the Pepsi commercial where his hair lit on fire?

• 41:23Connor Wood?

  No.

• 41:25Brooke Averick?

  There it was really horrifying. He was basically his dad forced him into like his dad was trying to just milk him for all that he was worth. And that was the Jackson five. And so when Michael was like going on his own journey and doing his own stuff, his dad was like, nope, you're gonna do another Jackson five tour. And like, he really didn't want to, but like he did because he felt like he'd be letting the family down. And so when they were practicing, they were doing something for Pepsi and something exploded and his hair lit on fire. And he got like really horrible second and third degree burns and was like rushed to the hospital and like.

• 42:01Connor Wood?

  No way.

• 42:02Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Oh, yeah. Like his hair never grew back. Like that's like why he had a lot of problems with his hair. Um, and he donated the entire, all of the money he got in the lawsuit back to the to the burn unit. Like he was always trying to just like help the people that. Needed it.

• 42:22Connor Wood?

  Helped him. Wow.

• 42:24Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 42:25Connor Wood?

  Gorgeous.

• 42:26Brooke Averick?

  It like wasn't, I mean, it wasn't even like a thought. He was like, any money we get from this is going back to this unit.

• 42:32Connor Wood?

  Pepsi, Pepsi can't catch a break with its commercials, can they?

• 42:36Brooke Averick?

  Well, this was the original, like Kendall Jenner commercial.

• 42:39Connor Wood?

  Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, I can't think of like a Pepsi when.

• 42:44Brooke Averick?

  I don't know. Yeah, I don't like.

• 42:45Connor Wood?

  Shut up.

• 42:46Brooke Averick?

  People are saying that Pepsi is gonna lose so much stock after this movie.

• 42:49Connor Wood?

  Ooh.

• 42:51Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Which like, I, yeah, I get that.

• 42:56Connor Wood?

  Just careless, just on set.

• 42:59Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, and like, they just like,

• 43:02Brooke Averick?

  didn't handle the situation. Like, why is Michael the one,

• 43:06Brooke Averick?

  like, giving the money back to the, to the burn unit? Like Pepsi should have done something with the money from the commercial, or like, and literally something.

• 43:14Connor Wood?

  Well, yeah, I know. Well, it was a different, I, I mean, it was a different time where like, now, if that ever happened, like, you are forced to do that because of the, the power of the people on, on, online? You know, like, that would have been the initial thing, like, let us make our, I, PR was very, it wasn't really existing as much back then, was it?

• 43:33Brooke Averick?

  No. I'm also so interested in like, the journey he went on with his appearance and confidence, because that is what his dad did to him. Like, that was his dad's form of abuse. In addition to physical abuse, he was like, you're so ugly.

• 43:50Brooke Averick?

  And like, that's why Michael started getting nose jobs.

• 43:52Connor Wood?

  Wow.

• 43:53Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. It's all so crazy.

• 43:56Connor Wood?

  Jinkies.

• 43:57Brooke Averick?

  Jinkies.

• 43:58Connor Wood?

  Oh, my god.

• 44:00Brooke Averick?

  Yep. I like, it's, it is my RE. Roman Empire. Like, I'll be here for a pretty long time.

• 44:09Connor Wood?

  Okay. Well, nice. It's, it's fun to have something to deep dive into. I will be honest with that.

• 44:14Brooke Averick?

  And there's so much.

• 44:16Connor Wood?

  Yeah. You know, my, my mom genuinely, if you talk to, if we called her right now, she actually called her this morning, and she didn't answer or call me back, which worries me. Um, she was convinced fully with her chest as a teenager, she was marrying Michael Jackson, and you couldn't, still today, like, she, she fully is like, that was my first love, and that's still my like.

• 44:38Brooke Averick?

  People don't talk about how much of a heartthrob he was, and how deeply women felt for him.

• 44:46Connor Wood?

  Can I say something like

• 44:50Connor Wood?

  towards the end when he was kind of like I was I just saw that like like Jackson 5 to like present day like when you 2009 it is like

• 45:02Connor Wood?

  shocking obviously that was like like there was a lot that caused that but like my mom was attracted to 2009 Michael just because it was Michael's

• 45:09Brooke Averick?

  I understand I understand completely now

• 45:14Connor Wood?

  Just like I can't it's hard for me to rap

• 45:15Brooke Averick?

  No, I understand completely now and also now that you know like

• 45:20Brooke Averick?

  it's it's like he was trying like he wasn't like

• 45:26Brooke Averick?

  it wasn't intentional really like he was trying to correct like the first like three nose jobs like yeah like he was trying he was he had a complex about his nose but and then it was like a lot of corrective surgery because he fucked it up and so that's what happened there like he wasn't trying to like do all of that with his nose and then the skin he had I don't know how to say it fits vigiljo vitiligo

• 45:54Connor Wood?

  vitiligo

• 45:55Brooke Averick?

  and yeah he was just like trying to even out his his skin tone and and it it bleeds too close to the sun

• 46:04Brooke Averick?

  but now that I feel like I know Michael so well from his youth which I imagine your mom did like I see him in 2009 Michael

• 46:12Connor Wood?

  yeah

• 46:12Brooke Averick?

  whereas I think if you're like not familiar with his journey those look like two separate people

• 46:17Connor Wood?

  yeah

• 46:17Brooke Averick?

  but now that I see younger Michael in 2009 Michael I'm like yeah that's that's that's still Michael

• 46:22Connor Wood?

  yeah oh that's beautiful

• 46:25Brooke Averick?

  yeah so and his voice last thing I'll say probably not though um that was not his real voice he was just trying to protect his vocal cords so he he spoke in that really like high pitched register to protect his vocal cords

• 46:40Brooke Averick?

  but that was not his real voice and sometimes in interviews you can hear him slip into his real voice and it's very jarring because it's deep

• 46:48Connor Wood?

  That's interesting. I didn't know that.

• 46:50Brooke Averick?

  Let me read you a letter that he wrote to his driver. Cause basically his dad was just like so abusive that he had these really strong paternal connections with both his security guard and his driver, who to this day will ride for him like no matter what. They're like, Michael is our son and the most amazing man.

• 47:14Brooke Averick?

  Sorry, I actually, so I sent this note to every single person in my family in a group chat. So I'm just looking for that group chat.

• 47:22Brooke Averick?

  Cause obviously I've been FaceTiming everyone I know. Just to talk. Cause like my grandparents were around, you know, around when he was around. And I'm like, what was your experience like with Michael? Et cetera.

• 47:34Connor Wood?

  You were asking them?

• 47:35Brooke Averick?

  I asked every person in my family older than like 50. So yeah, talk to Susu. One of the biggest Michael fans I know.

• 47:46Connor Wood?

  Oh.

• 47:47Brooke Averick?

  This is what Michael, this is a letter Michael wrote to his driver.

• 47:50Connor Wood?

  His driver? Okay.

• 47:51Brooke Averick?

  Bill. It's been a long road. We've traveled throughout the years, concerts, tours, meetings, dignitaries, kings and queens of countries. Touring around the world twice, making people happy through the gift and love of music. I'm coming of age now and nearly realize the importance of true love. Joseph, that's his dad. And he, his dad was like, call me Joseph.

• 48:17Connor Wood?

  Oh, that's

• 48:18Brooke Averick?

  Which is why Michael was so insistent on his kids calling, calling him daddy.

• 48:23Brooke Averick?

  Joseph never even had time for me. He only saw me as a way for him to make money. And as you know, mother was a perfect mother, but I never was with her. My childhood was on stage away from mother. What I'm simply trying to say is thank you for being a father. I don't know what I would have, what would have happened to me if you were not around. I love you, MJ.

• 48:44Connor Wood?

  That's, that stays with you.

• 48:46Brooke Averick?

  That stays with you.

• 48:47Connor Wood?

  How is his driver today? What is his driver doing?

• 48:50Brooke Averick?

  I actually not, I don't know the driver as well as I do his security guard. Bill. No, Bill is the driver. Security guard was in the movie and they have a really close connection.

• 48:59Connor Wood?

  Were they like well taken care of?

• 49:01Brooke Averick?

  Oh, yes. Oh, absolutely.

• 49:03Connor Wood?

  Posthumously?

• 49:04Brooke Averick?

  I don't, well, like I would like to think so, but I don't know what the estate is up to. And I think because Michael died so unexpectedly, like, I don't know how much his affairs were in order. Probably, that's probably you prepare if you're someone like Michael Jackson.

• 49:20Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I don't know who the executor is.

• 49:23Brooke Averick?

  We should, we should have him on the pod.

• 49:25Connor Wood?

  We need to have Michael Jackson's executor. I don't imagine he had one executor. That'd be like genuinely being the CFO of a significantly large country that like is relevant indefinitely.

• 49:42Brooke Averick?

  There's also all these, oh.

• 49:43Connor Wood?

  It's one, it's one person. Oh, my God.

• 49:45Brooke Averick?

  Oh, it's John. It's John. I know John. He was played by Miles Teller in the film. He's a good, he's a good guy. And he had Michael's best interests at heart.

• 49:55Connor Wood?

  John Brooke and John McClane.

• 49:57Brooke Averick?

  I don't know if I know John McClane, but I do know John Brooke well.

• 50:01Brooke Averick?

  So they've been responding.

• 50:04Connor Wood?

  Executors of the probate estate and the trustees of Michael Jackson Family Trust. Geez, that's crazy.

• 50:09Brooke Averick?

  As of 2025 to 2026, the executors have faced scrutiny from beneficiary Paris Jackson regarding high legal fees and management decisions with the executors arguing their actions have been in the best interest of the estate. It's hard to, yeah. The estate's assets are designed to benefit Michael Jackson's mother Catherine and his three children, Prince Paris. And is it Biggie or BG? BG? That formerly Blanket?

• 50:35Connor Wood?

  Wait, where's, oh, I was gonna say, where's Blanket? Okay. I see. Okay, cool. Well, interesting. Well, I'm sure

• 50:45Connor Wood?

  I'm not gonna see it, I don't think.

• 50:46Brooke Averick?

  Why?

• 50:48Connor Wood?

  I don't know, maybe, maybe when it comes out on my TV.

• 50:52Brooke Averick?

  Okay. Anyway, that's that.

• 50:56Brooke Averick?

  My favorite song, I would like to watch the Thriller music video in the bonus, if you don't mind.

• 51:02Connor Wood?

  No, let's do it. That'd be lovely.

• 51:04Brooke Averick?

  He really was the first to do it like that. That's what I'll say about that.

• 51:07Connor Wood?

  Do you want to, in, in like probably 2000, I would say maybe 2009, all of the moms in my neighborhood dressed up like zombies and they did the Thriller dance and it was like really funny. They like choreographed it and they did it in a parking lot.

• 51:22Brooke Averick?

  There was also a part of the movie I didn't understand about Michael kind of uniting the bloods and the crypts.

• 51:29Brooke Averick?

  And like ending that.

• 51:32Brooke Averick?

  Which I was like, wait, what?

• 51:36Brooke Averick?

  Did you know that?

• 51:38Connor Wood?

  No.

• 51:40Brooke Averick?

  Me neither. Still a little bit fuzzy for me. He had them both on set for... What, what song was it? Beat It? He was kind of having them, you know, join forces?

• 51:56Brooke Averick?

  I'm not sure how that ended. It was, it was a random part of the movie that was a question mark for me. Let's see. "Michael Jackson cast 80 members of the Los Angeles Crips and Bloods for the music video Beat It in hopes to foster peace between them." Yeah, he, that's true.

• 52:15Brooke Averick?

  But I don't know if it worked.

• 52:19Connor Wood?

  It didn't. Maybe that day.

• 52:21Brooke Averick?

  Oh, look at the hands.

• 52:22Connor Wood?

  They had peace in that moment, which is nice.

• 52:25Brooke Averick?

  Wow.

• 52:27Connor Wood?

  Well, I'm gonna have trouble moving forward from this because nothing is gonna be as utmost, utmost, utmost, utmost important. It's, it's gonna really just sound really stupid.

• 52:38Brooke Averick?

  No, that's fine. Let's end with something stupid.

• 52:44Connor Wood?

  I don't like, I don't want, I don't want to be the next, I don't want to, I don't want to say the next thing.

• 52:49Brooke Averick?

  Try.

• 52:50Connor Wood?

  Maybe I go into something like stupidest thing that's on my list of things to talk about.

• 52:53Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, start with the most stupid.

• 52:55Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 52:58Connor Wood?

  It's stupid to many, but to me, I like it. They just, they just released six, seven shaped chicken nuggets. And when you say, what is six, seven shaped? It's sixes and sevens.

• 53:11Connor Wood?

  And I just want to say like, if you, if anyone has like a qualm with the six, seven nuggets, I want, I need I remind you, I need I raise you Shrek green and purple ketchup, which I had to have in the home and my parents gladly bought for me.

• 53:24Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 53:25Connor Wood?

  The, the kids yearn for like novelty, you know?

• 53:29Brooke Averick?

  You'll never catch me upset about six, seven because like it makes people happy.

• 53:34Connor Wood?

  It does.

• 53:34Brooke Averick?

  It makes people happy. It's so harmless.

• 53:39Brooke Averick?

  Something harmless that brings joy like this? And by the way, I fuck with Purdue Nuggets.

• 53:45Connor Wood?

  I was gonna say Purdue making these like, that's so 6-7.

• 53:48Brooke Averick?

  That is so 6-7 and like, those to me are so good because like, they're so good right out of the fridge. Like, no oven necessary, to me.

• 53:57Connor Wood?

  Yeah, right out of the freezer.

• 53:59Brooke Averick?

  Well, I like the refrigerated ones.

• 54:01Connor Wood?

  I like to put them in my ice water and make it hint of, hint of 6-7 nugget.

• 54:06Brooke Averick?

  Nice.

• 54:07Connor Wood?

  Hint of chicken.

• 54:10Connor Wood?

  Did you get the Shrek ketchup?

• 54:12Brooke Averick?

  No, I don't remember the Shrek ketchup.

• 54:14Connor Wood?

  Oh, we gotta pull up the Shrek ketchup. Computer, show me Shrek ketchup.

• 54:20Connor Wood?

  It was so good, it was green and purple. I knew it, Easy Squirt.

• 54:25Brooke Averick?

  How did I not have that?

• 54:26Connor Wood?

  So the one, the one flavor is Shrek and I think the other flavor was Dragon, the Dragon White.

• 54:32Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 54:33Connor Wood?

  And then they had the red flavor and it was Fiona, because she had, she has, and then I started thinking when the red was Fiona, that maybe it's like, like Fiona bleeds red because she's a human, Shrek bleeds green because he's a, he's a, he's a goblin.

• 54:47Brooke Averick?

  I feel like if anything Fiona would have bled green.

• 54:52Connor Wood?

  Like, maybe her heart is green?

• 54:53Brooke Averick?

  I, I think she bleeds green.

• 54:57Connor Wood?

  Oh, did Shrek ketchup have a recall?

• 55:01Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I see, I see what you're seeing.

• 55:04Connor Wood?

  Yeah, well, maybe the flavor, the flavor described is blasting green, obviously, like, that I was blasting all over my eggs and stuff in the morning. It's funny, hmm, could you imagine RFK Jr. talking about blasting green Shrek ketchup?

• 55:19Brooke Averick?

  Yes, honestly.

• 55:22Connor Wood?

  That's what I was, I was raised on this. So the autism that he says is caused by Tylenol was definitely probably caused by blasting green Easy Squirt Shrek flavored ketchup.

• 55:34Brooke Averick?

  I think it's also possible that Michael Jackson was on the spectrum.

• 55:38Connor Wood?

  That's totally possible.

• 55:41Connor Wood?

  This morning, I sent you that Snapchat that I use my stove top today, just as like saying goodbye to it as I move out. And I made this delicious meal and then there was a ton of mold in my cheese.

• 55:53Brooke Averick?

  That sucked because besides the mold, that looked so good.

• 55:56Connor Wood?

  I ate it.

• 55:57Brooke Averick?

  Did you scrape the mold off?

• 55:59Connor Wood?

  I got as much of it as I could, but then I convinced myself.

• 56:01Brooke Averick?

  It was concentrated in a one area.

• 56:04Connor Wood?

  I convinced myself, any dairy that has mold in it, like I'm obviously not going to drink like chunky milk. But like, isn't mold like really a part of dairy in a big way or no? No? Made that up?

• 56:19Brooke Averick?

  You're talking about like, oh, wait, you're talking about cheese.

• 56:24Connor Wood?

  Isn't cheese mold?

• 56:25Brooke Averick?

  I think cheese is moldy milk.

• 56:28Connor Wood?

  No, yogurt is moldy. I don't know.

• 56:29Brooke Averick?

  No, yogurt's not moldy. Cheese is moldy. Cheese is edible mold. Like that's why, like cheese is gross unless it's mozzarella or burrata.

• 56:42Brooke Averick?

  Or cheddar when it's melted.

• 56:44Connor Wood?

  Cheese, cheese is mold.

• 56:46Brooke Averick?

  And Parmesan on pasta.

• 56:48Connor Wood?

  Shrimp's is bugs. Men with vapes are ladies.

• 56:53Brooke Averick?

  What?

• 56:55Connor Wood?

  Thank you. Izzy always there for me?

• 56:57Brooke Averick?

  What's that from?

• 57:00Connor Wood?

  Cheese is mold, shrimps is bugs, men with vapes is ladies.

• 57:05Brooke Averick?

  What is men with vapes is ladies from?

• 57:07Connor Wood?

  Ladies, ladies, please. I'm trying to work tight shift.

• 57:10Brooke Averick?

  Nice.

• 57:11Connor Wood?

  Thanks. Did you see my shirt?

• 57:14Brooke Averick?

  Yes, I keep meaning like you keep start talking and then I'm like, oh, Connor's shirt is amazing. Let me bring it up and then I forget by the time you're done. I love that. Did someone give that to you at a show?

• 57:24Connor Wood?

  No, I bought it myself.

• 57:26Brooke Averick?

  Is it, was it just like online?

• 57:29Connor Wood?

  I got an ad, a targeted ad for a shirt that says, let Papa cook.

• 57:33Brooke Averick?

  That's amazing.

• 57:34Connor Wood?

  And you know what company it's from?

• 57:37Brooke Averick?

  No.

• 57:38Connor Wood?

  The life is good company that's that their whole company?

• 57:40Brooke Averick?

  I love life is good.

• 57:42Connor Wood?

  Their whole company is like, I'm a stick figure and I have a family.

• 57:45Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 57:46Connor Wood?

  And I grill. It's pretty great.

• 57:48Brooke Averick?

  No, it's like dad, dad central.

• 57:50Connor Wood?

  Dad core.

• 57:52Brooke Averick?

  So dad core.

• 57:53Connor Wood?

  Okay, before we leave you.

• 57:58Connor Wood?

  I want to really quickly talk about, how much time do we have?

• 58:01Brooke Averick?

  Two minutes and I would actually even argue like 1:30 because of how much I need to pee.

• 58:07Connor Wood?

  Okay, White Lotus has lost.

• 58:10Brooke Averick?

  We lost a good one.

• 58:10Connor Wood?

  Helena Bonham Bowman, what's her name? Bonham Carter?

• 58:13Brooke Averick?

  Bonham Carter.

• 58:15Connor Wood?

  Replaced with Laura Dern. And did you know, she didn't know until she got this set, that the character Mike White created for her was cute but no longer a match?

• 58:25Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 58:25Connor Wood?

  Did you know that?

• 58:26Brooke Averick?

  I saw it was cute but no longer a match.

• 58:29Connor Wood?

  I want to know what the character was. This sucks. I need to know if this, and I think, I think that they rewrote this character because Laura Dern's already been in White Lotus. Her voice is already in White Lotus.

• 58:39Brooke Averick?

  I know. I feel like they're just gonna be like, that didn't happen.

• 58:43Connor Wood?

  I promise you, Mike White does not flick away a character that he's created, even if-

• 58:48Brooke Averick?

  What was, she was Michael Imperioli's ex-wife?

• 58:50Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 58:53Connor Wood?

  I promise you, she's that character.

• 58:55Brooke Averick?

  We had to, it was so cute, not a match with Helena. So she's gone and now we're rewriting the character. So it's like, if it was so cute, not a match, that's fine. But like, if you're rewriting the character anyway, like, why wouldn't you just rewrite it for something that's cuter and a match?

• 59:11Connor Wood?

  There was a fall, there was a fall.

• 59:12Brooke Averick?

  There was a total fall now.

• 59:14Connor Wood?

  And I think it could be truly because like Helena Bonham, and this is from my reading, I want to say.

• 59:22Brooke Averick?

  I just spent 30 minutes talking about Michael Jackson being like-

• 59:26Connor Wood?

  Okay, well, because this is like-

• 59:27Brooke Averick?

  Completely free of any wrongdoing, so go ahead.

• 59:29Connor Wood?

  This is complete hearsay, but like, I think that, okay, this is complete hearsay. I'm, I'm just saying what I wrote, what I read. It's, it's said that she's, she's, she is, and rightfully so, kind of like a diva and she smells. She's a smelly diva.

• 59:41Brooke Averick?

  I could see her doing like a non-deodorant type of approach.

• 59:46Connor Wood?

  She's very British and she's very theatrical. And she's also played like a witch and a sorceress for so many years, like this evil, I need, I really wanted to see that. Could you imagine?

• 59:57Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 59:57Connor Wood?

  And so I think that this, she probably got there and was like, wait, never mind. I don't need to play like a villain and the villain is just like this white, rich lady, you know, like, she's like, I have to cast a spell.

• 1:00:08Brooke Averick?

  I don't know.

• 1:00:09Connor Wood?

  I didn't come, I didn't come here smelling like, smelling like how I smell to be just a lady at a, at a resort.

• 1:00:15Brooke Averick?

  I really don't know. But I could see it, I could definitely see it not being a match.

• 1:00:20Connor Wood?

  I know, that upsets me.

• 1:00:22Brooke Averick?

  I know, but like Laura Dern is like pretty damn great.

• 1:00:25Connor Wood?

  You know, I love Laura Dern. I really also think Joan Cusack could be in White Lotus very easily. And I say once again with my chest, cast Joan Cusack more.

• 1:00:35Brooke Averick?

  Agree. Did I miss the day they announced Max Greenfield is in it?

• 1:00:40Connor Wood?

  Yeah, he was in one of those like batches.

• 1:00:42Brooke Averick?

  I must have missed that to have him and Chris Messina. So like Mindy Project and New Girl collab is so awesome.

• 1:00:51Connor Wood?

  I think that this could be a funny bit where they, someone announced, they just do week after week announcing like a group of 11 people that are on White Lotus until it's like 450 people on White Lotus.

• 1:01:02Brooke Averick?

  That's funny.

• 1:01:03Connor Wood?

  And it's, they just never actually have the show. I think that would be just really awesome, you guys.

• 1:01:08Brooke Averick?

  I love that.

• 1:01:10Connor Wood?

  I watch all of Beef.

• 1:01:12Brooke Averick?

  I haven't even seen season one of that.

• 1:01:14Connor Wood?

  You, I mean, if you, if you get really bored, it's, it's getting really good right now.

• 1:01:20Brooke Averick?

  I need to watch it.

• 1:01:22Connor Wood?

  But I want to talk to someone about it. I'm gonna get in trouble at some point.

• 1:01:26Brooke Averick?

  I'll watch for next week.

• 1:01:27Connor Wood?

  I can't, um, talk about

• 1:01:31Connor Wood?

  acting skills in shows anymore. Like, because I always have something to say and it's gonna come back and bite me in the ass. But like, I have been shocked by

• 1:01:42Connor Wood?

  some stuff recently.

• 1:01:44Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 1:01:45Connor Wood?

  Negative connotation.

• 1:01:47Brooke Averick?

  Are you able to tell us in the bonus?

• 1:01:49Connor Wood?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:01:50Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 1:01:50Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I'll talk about it.

• 1:01:51Brooke Averick?

  On that note, like, I have to go.

• 1:01:53Connor Wood?

  Go pee. Yeah. Okay.

• 1:01:55Brooke Averick?

  And are you?

• 1:01:56Connor Wood?

  That's all I got. I mean, I have a lot more stuff for the bonus.

• 1:01:58Brooke Averick?

  Okay, so we will catch up in the bonus?

• 1:02:00Connor Wood?

  And then I have to get the hell out of here because they're gonna come into my apartment with potential tenants and I'm gonna be like, hey, come on the podcast. Okay, bye, Brooke.

• 1:02:06Brooke Averick?

  Okay, love you. Bye. See you in the bonus.

• 1:02:08Connor Wood?

  See you, guys. Thank you for listening. See ya. Bye.
