  Fall never arrives all at once. First the air, then the light. And slowly, the things you love begin to find each other. A jacket meets a dress. A hoodie slips beneath a blazer. An old cap finds a new scarf. Because you don't simply step into the season. You create it, layer by layer. Until it finally feels like fall. Find fall your way at Ross.

• 0:55Connor Wood?

  So we can just kind of start the episode?

• 0:57Brooke Averick?

  I'm so disoriented.

• 0:59Connor Wood?

  Cause it's Tuesday?

• 1:01Brooke Averick?

  Well, it's Tuesday and the last time I saw you was like a while ago, but in New York.

• 1:06Connor Wood?

  I know. Oh, yeah, cause we recorded two episodes, yeah.

• 1:09Brooke Averick?

  So I just feel like confused.

• 1:11Connor Wood?

  Don't be confused because the thing is

• 1:17Connor Wood?

  the tide comes in and out, you know, like whether we're confused or not. Things keep moving forward and we kind of just like need to bloom more replanted type of shit.

• 1:28Brooke Averick?

  And I also, I don't know if you've ever had this feeling, but I've been feeling like I'm in a video game for the past few days. In like a bad way, like a little bit like, like disoriented, like I was saying, and like,

• 1:39Brooke Averick?

  like someone's like playing me in a video game. Like I'm not a real person, but I'm like a video game character. Like, things are a little off. Have you ever had that? You just like, don't feel like a hundred percent like-

• 1:50Connor Wood?

  I'm getting, yeah, I'm getting a little scared because I felt that yesterday.

• 1:53Brooke Averick?

  Like this, this kind of feels like, I mean, it is a set, so it's like not, but like a set of a set.

• 1:59Connor Wood?

  No, I was sitting in my hotel room like, I haven't really like sat here and made a decision in a long time. I've just been like going places and doing things and talking to people, but it's just like-

• 2:09Brooke Averick?

  Oh, so you feel like an NP. What are those called?

• 2:12Connor Wood?

  NPC.

• 2:12Brooke Averick?

  NPC, feel like an NPC.

• 2:14Connor Wood?

  Yeah, but I sat there and had to be like, hey, come back, like make a decision.

• 2:18Brooke Averick?

  See, I feel like I'm a PC, but like I am definitely being played by someone else.

• 2:22Connor Wood?

  You're being played. I feel like I'm a PC.

• 2:25Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, so I don't know. Like, I kind of feel like, well, I thought I had serotonin syndrome.

• 2:32Connor Wood?

  What's that?

• 2:32Brooke Averick?

  I, like, not what I'm experiencing.

• 2:36Connor Wood?

  Is serotonin syndrome-

• 2:37Brooke Averick?

  Serotonin syndrome is something you get like if you, just like you have too much serotonin, I think you can like have a seizure or something. Like if you take Molly and you're also taking an antidepressant. Cause people don't know you can't do that.

• 2:54Brooke Averick?

  So I thought I was having serotonin syndrome by not taking Molly.

• 2:57Connor Wood?

  I'm surprised more people don't have serotonin syndrome.

• 2:58Brooke Averick?

  I think a lot of people do and don't know what-

• 3:00Connor Wood?

  Just about every person doing Molly is probably on SSRIs.

• 3:03Brooke Averick?

  I don't know if like you always have serotonin syndrome if you do it, but you definitely can.

• 3:08Connor Wood?

  Do you catch it? Like a flu?

• 3:11Brooke Averick?

  No, you know the answer to that. It's if you combine drugs.

• 3:16Connor Wood?

  No, but you said, do you always have it? Or does it like go away? That's what I'm asking.

• 3:19Brooke Averick?

  No, I was saying, I don't know if like it's a surefire thing that you would always get it if you take Molly and you're on an SSRI, but you definitely can and do. And a lot of other things, like for example, I convinced myself I had it because I took a Zofran. And I am on, uh, not an SSRI, but something, an SS, an SNRI. And so then it did, uh, there was, when I Googled a drug interaction that could lead to serotonin syndrome. And so I have, felt like I have been in a video game ever since. Even though that is not a symptom of serotonin syndrome.

• 3:53Connor Wood?

  You may feel like you're in a video game. CVS kept calling me day in, day out. Yesterday I had like 10 missed calls. I'm like, what could CVS, like, did I leave a prescription? Am I supposed to be taking something? I called them back. They go, it is flu season.

• 4:07Brooke Averick?

  Already?

• 4:08Connor Wood?

  And I go, alright, thanks.

• 4:09Brooke Averick?

  Guess back to school some-

• 4:10Connor Wood?

  Is CVS calling everybody to let them know about flu season?

• 4:13Brooke Averick?

  And usually they just text.

• 4:14Connor Wood?

  Am I at risk?

• 4:16Brooke Averick?

  Usually they just text.

• 4:19Connor Wood?

  Okay. You know what I was listening to on the way here? And it-

• 4:23Brooke Averick?

  Is it a song?

• 4:24Connor Wood?

  Yeah, what comes next? May shock you, may not. So I'm, I'm on, every now and then I forget about John Mayer and then all of a sudden I remember John Mayer. Okay?

• 4:33Brooke Averick?

  Uh huh.

• 4:34Connor Wood?

  So John Mayer's playing and there's like a lot of like coming of age

• 4:39Connor Wood?

  esque things, like things of that ilk. It's like, and he's, he was coming of age for years, you know?

• 4:44Brooke Averick?

  He still is.

• 4:45Connor Wood?

  He's still coming of age. John Mayer-

• 4:47Brooke Averick?

  We all are.

• 4:48Connor Wood?

  I think we're all coming of age.

• 4:49Brooke Averick?

  I love, that's what people are realizing now. It's like we're making coming of age stuff for all ages.

• 4:54Connor Wood?

  Yeah. Yes. I actually just said that when I watched that movie with Will Arnett.

• 4:58Brooke Averick?

  It's coming of age?

• 4:59Connor Wood?

  It was coming of age, but he was, he's come of age several times. He's been, he's been coming.

• 5:04Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 5:04Connor Wood?

  And

• 5:05Brooke Averick?

  yeah.

• 5:05Connor Wood?

  He has come of age, but then you're able to come of age at any age.

• 5:09Brooke Averick?

  Why, why wouldn't you be able to?

• 5:11Connor Wood?

  Anyways, John Mayer is perpetually, and thank God for his inability to-

• 5:16Brooke Averick?

  Reach-

• 5:16Connor Wood?

  To reach the, the finish line with his coming of age.

• 5:20Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 5:21Connor Wood?

  Um, I'm, I'm happy he's in the spin cycle because he keeps pumping out this music that like, I'm in high school, I'm busting out of the doors. It's like, you're 48.

• 5:31Brooke Averick?

  Is he?

• 5:32Connor Wood?

  How old are you? How old is John Mayer?

• 5:38Connor Wood?

  John Mayer is 48 years old. Oh, he's 48.

• 5:41Brooke Averick?

  Did you Google that before?

• 5:42Connor Wood?

  No.

• 5:43Brooke Averick?

  Wow.

• 5:44Connor Wood?

  John Mayer is 48 years old. Thank you, Siri, stepping up to the plate for the first time in one year. Um, yeah, he's 48 and you, you know, like, I appreciate that. And I'm listening to him and then all of a sudden something comes over me. A song that I haven't heard in a long time.

• 6:01Brooke Averick?

  Waiting on the world to change?

• 6:03Connor Wood?

  No, ma'am. I'm gonna read it to you, cause I don't want to mess up the lyrics. "I thought that I had everybody on my side, but then I went and blew it all sky high. And now she won't even spare a passing glance. All just because I ripped my pants."

• 6:28Brooke Averick?

  What's happening?

• 6:30Connor Wood?

  Do you, are you familiar with the-

• 6:30Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, obviously.

• 6:32Connor Wood?

  Ballad?

• 6:33Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, from SpongeBob?

• 6:34Connor Wood?

  Yeah, how come, where's the disconnect for you?

• 6:36Brooke Averick?

  Why, why are you talking about John Mayer?

• 6:38Connor Wood?

  That's what led me into remembering this song.

• 6:41Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I thought you were saying you discovered a John Mayer song. So I'm confused.

• 6:44Connor Wood?

  Try to stay with me here.

• 6:45Brooke Averick?

  I'm, I'm just confused.

• 6:47Connor Wood?

  John Mayer led me back to scripture.

• 6:50Brooke Averick?

  How did, I know, I completely missed the link.

• 6:52Connor Wood?

  It only has to make sense to me. Just like, nod.

• 6:55Brooke Averick?

  I only, I missed the link.

• 6:57Connor Wood?

  The, the-

• 6:57Brooke Averick?

  You said you, you were listening to John Mayer and you came upon a song.

• 7:01Connor Wood?

  I remembered a song I hadn't heard in a long time.

• 7:02Brooke Averick?

  Okay, that I didn't get that at all.

• 7:04Connor Wood?

  For me, of the same ilk. I mean, I'm explaining it to you.

• 7:07Brooke Averick?

  I think I didn't get it.

• 7:08Connor Wood?

  I thought of a song I hadn't heard of in a long ti- I mean, it was-

• 7:11Brooke Averick?

  Everything that you have said for the past five minutes would have led me to believe that the song you discovered was a John Mayer song.

• 7:17Connor Wood?

  You don't, no, you, you don't have to be like, that was a, that was like an intuitive connection that you just made, but you could just be like, oh, that was-

• 7:25Brooke Averick?

  No, it like, it so didn't make sense to me that I couldn't, like, I didn't even see what happened.

• 7:29Connor Wood?

  Okay, let's just move forward. So I was thinking, because of John Mayer's constant coming of age, this, okay, let's just move straight on, as if I started the conversation talking about ripped my pants. Okay?

• 7:41Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I think that would have helped.

• 7:42Connor Wood?

  Okay. Well, we had a really good conversation about John Mayer too. So like, imagine if we hadn't started there. We would have missed that.

• 7:49Brooke Averick?

  I just missed the link.

• 7:55Connor Wood?

  Okay, so

• 7:59Connor Wood?

  SpongeBob too. And I know SpongeBob hasn't come up in a while for us.

• 8:05Connor Wood?

  SpongeBob constantly being relevant to me and his realizations throughout the show, the fact that he had to publicly and shamelessly say, I lost myself and I'm sorry. And then admit he was so wrong through song. It's just like heroic to me. Did you, do you want to hear the rest of it really quick?

• 8:30Brooke Averick?

  Sure.

• 8:32Connor Wood?

  "When Big Larry came around just to put him down." That made me pissed off at Larry when I reread that this morning. And Larry's pretty innocent otherwise. Larry came around-

• 8:41Brooke Averick?

  Could you give me a brief refresher on like the premise of the episode?

• 8:47Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 8:48Brooke Averick?

  Like he was-

• 8:48Connor Wood?

  So like-

• 8:49Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 8:51Connor Wood?

  Basically, he had been over, he ripped his pants. It was very funny. Everyone's like, you're hilarious.

• 8:56Brooke Averick?

  And it was an accident the first time.

• 8:57Connor Wood?

  You're hilarious. Yeah. And then he starts playing it up, playing it up at other people's expense.

• 9:01Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 9:01Connor Wood?

  So other people are now suffering because he wants to expand on this joke.

• 9:06Brooke Averick?

  Right, he like pretended to drown. He pretended to drown. Yeah.

• 9:10Connor Wood?

  Someone actually lost their life in the course of this joke. I don't know if you remember, like, they buried somebody who was like, oh, I died. That was, someone passed away.

• 9:19Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Okay, I'm totally following now.

• 9:22Connor Wood?

  Which we just skim right past because SpongeBob was like, so basically he-

• 9:26Brooke Averick?

  It's a good lesson in this episode.

• 9:28Connor Wood?

  I mean,

• 9:29Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 9:29Connor Wood?

  It's with a heavy heart, he sings his song.

• 9:32Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 9:33Connor Wood?

  The angel actually of the patron who passed revisited during the song and was like, I want you to know, I forgive you.

• 9:40Brooke Averick?

  Which is beautiful.

• 9:41Connor Wood?

  It is beautiful.

• 9:42Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 9:42Connor Wood?

  Um, but Larry came around just to put him down. But Larry actually was like the one that humbled him. So put him down. I don't know, that's a little bit narcissistic, but he's a SpongeBob turned into a clown.

• 9:54Connor Wood?

  And no girl-

• 9:54Brooke Averick?

  No, Larry did put him down at the beginning of the episode. Larry was like, you ripped your pants, right?

• 9:59Connor Wood?

  Oh, yeah.

• 10:00Brooke Averick?

  Larry was like making fun of SpongeBob at first.

• 10:02Connor Wood?

  Oh, yes.

• 10:03Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, right?

• 10:04Connor Wood?

  Yeah, and then SpongeBob turned into a clown.

• 10:06Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 10:06Connor Wood?

  But like-

• 10:07Brooke Averick?

  And then he reclaimed the clown.

• 10:08Connor Wood?

  The clown was positive connotation-

• 10:10Brooke Averick?

  But he's too hard.

• 10:11Connor Wood?

  Until it was.

• 10:12Brooke Averick?

  Until it was.

• 10:12Connor Wood?

  He clowned too hard.

• 10:14Brooke Averick?

  And we've all been guilty of that.

• 10:15Connor Wood?

  He jester maxed. Too close to the sun.

• 10:19Connor Wood?

  "But no girl ever wants to dance with a fool who went and ripped his pants." At that point, now ripped his pants could be a larger statement, maybe?

• 10:30Brooke Averick?

  This is when he was still living in the shame. Before he reclaimed.

• 10:33Connor Wood?

  Well, he's like trying to be like, no, no, remember when you guys thought this was so funny when I ripped my pants?

• 10:40Brooke Averick?

  No, he's still living in the shame in this moment because he's like, no girl would ever want to dance with someone who ripped their pants.

• 10:45Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I think that was after the realization, but like, remember when he's fighting this uphill battle, trying to be like, no, you guys thought this was funny. Look, I'll do it bigger. I'll do it bigger. And they're like, no, no, we moved on.

• 10:55Brooke Averick?

  Okay, keep going, keep going.

• 11:00Connor Wood?

  I know I shouldn't mope around. I shouldn't, oh. I know I shouldn't mope around. I shouldn't curse, but the pain feels so much worse.

• 11:09Brooke Averick?

  It's so good.

• 11:11Connor Wood?

  Cause winding up with no one is a lot less fun. Ready? Then I burn from the sun or send in your buns.

• 11:18Brooke Averick?

  Right.

• 11:21Connor Wood?

  Yeah, that's kind of, now I learned a lesson I won't soon forget. So listen and you won't regret. Be true to yourself. Don't miss your chance and you won't end up like the fool who ripped his pants.

• 11:34Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, that's so good.

• 11:35Connor Wood?

  That's a tale as old as time.

• 11:36Brooke Averick?

  It's really good.

• 11:37Connor Wood?

  Wow. Anyways, so that was what I was up to on my drive this morning. Which was nice.

• 11:43Brooke Averick?

  Thank you for bringing that to, to the pod.

• 11:46Connor Wood?

  Yeah, to a head.

• 11:47Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 11:48Connor Wood?

  Of course.

• 11:48Brooke Averick?

  Always nice to unpack.

• 11:49Connor Wood?

  I'm happy to.

• 11:50Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. I've been, um, watching a lot of shit. Since I last saw you.

• 11:57Connor Wood?

  The only thing I have to talk about today for the most part, unless, unless I do several rants, which like I'm planning to do.

• 12:04Connor Wood?

  Is close some loops from the last time we talked.

• 12:08Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 12:08Connor Wood?

  And then talk about TV and film.

• 12:11Brooke Averick?

  Okay. Well, do you want to start with closing loops? I do have something to tell you that is just like something that happened.

• 12:17Connor Wood?

  Do something that happened.

• 12:18Brooke Averick?

  Okay. Well, we can start with something that happened and then move into closing loops and then do TV. But for whatever reason, like since I've been back in LA, I've been really struggling at the, like, the pace at which people have been walking. Because something that would surprise a lot of people about me is that I'm a really fast walker. When I'm just like going to somewhere, like I have no patience.

• 12:39Connor Wood?

  And you're always on an elevated clog too, which is crazy.

• 12:42Brooke Averick?

  Elevated clog.

• 12:43Connor Wood?

  How do you not get charlie horses in your elevated clogs with the speed that you walk?

• 12:47Brooke Averick?

  Well, when I'm like walking, like I usually like my walking destination is usually the Grove and I'm usually.

• 12:52Connor Wood?

  Are you eating potassium? Cause you're not drinking water. So I don't know how you're not cramping up.

• 12:57Brooke Averick?

  No, I'm not. I always am like, I'm always nauseous.

• 13:02Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 13:03Brooke Averick?

  Does that help?

• 13:04Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 13:05Brooke Averick?

  But people have been walking so slowly and like the way that I get to the Grove is kind of just like a one sidewalk. Situation. So like, if I want to pass them, like I have to like go into a busy street and pass. So it's like, not always possible. So people have been walking so slowly in front of me and it's been pissing me off so much. And one guy that I was stuck behind the other day.

• 13:28Brooke Averick?

  I don't, I guess he didn't realize that there was someone behind him.

• 13:31Connor Wood?

  He coughed.

• 13:31Brooke Averick?

  Or he did. Um, he was, he had earphones in. He was playing chapstick.

• 13:39Brooke Averick?

  And then went to store the chapstick, not in his pockets, Connor, in his crack.

• 13:49Brooke Averick?

  In his butt crack. He reached behind him. He had pockets, but no, no, no. He reached behind him and put the chapstick, slid it into his butt crack for storage purposes.

• 14:05Connor Wood?

  Okay, let's get in, let's walk a mile in his shoes at his pace.

• 14:09Brooke Averick?

  I don't want to.

• 14:10Connor Wood?

  Let's walk a mile in his shoes. I want to say, maybe, say you're in, say you're back in Boston and it's January. Okay?

• 14:19Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 14:20Connor Wood?

  Your chapstick's frozen every time you pull it out of your, your purse.

• 14:24Brooke Averick?

  So it was 90.

• 14:25Connor Wood?

  It's 95 here. So like I can't use the, maybe he's hot pocket again.

• 14:29Brooke Averick?

  It was 90. Do you think, I would say like, is he trying to keep it cool? But no, that would be a hotter place.

• 14:36Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 14:36Brooke Averick?

  In your pocket, hotter. And it's, the thing about his crack is that it was already on display for me like before.

• 14:43Connor Wood?

  That's, that was my next question was.

• 14:46Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. And I don't think he was like someone who was like experiencing some sort of mental health crisis. I don't think it was that.

• 14:55Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 14:55Brooke Averick?

  It was just like, that's where he put his chapstick and that's like where he keeps his chapstick. And like when he needs his chapstick again, that's where he will go get it from.

• 15:07Brooke Averick?

  So.

• 15:08Connor Wood?

  What kind of chapstick?

• 15:09Brooke Averick?

  It was an Aquaphor.

• 15:10Connor Wood?

  The ball? Oh no, that's EOS.

• 15:13Brooke Averick?

  No, it was like the kind you twist up.

• 15:15Connor Wood?

  So it was like a little.

• 15:17Brooke Averick?

  It was a little chapstick. Yeah. Like the size of a lipstick.

• 15:21Connor Wood?

  I have another, I have a follow up.

• 15:23Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 15:23Connor Wood?

  Was it on display? Could you see the tip? So he put it all the way down in there? Oh, so this is some sort of sexual deviant.

• 15:31Brooke Averick?

  Do you think?

• 15:32Connor Wood?

  Yeah. And, and not only that, an exhibitionist, cause there's no way that.

• 15:37Brooke Averick?

  He wasn't wearing underwear.

• 15:39Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I know. My brother in Christ, but I'm not storing things back there. You know, that's someone who truly has pockets, has options, chose to do that, knowing they're in public, knowing they're on a public sidewalk.

• 15:55Brooke Averick?

  And this is a situation where I out loud said, no.

• 15:59Connor Wood?

  No.

• 16:00Brooke Averick?

  He didn't hear me. Cause again, he was, he did have, um, earphones in, but as he was sliding the chapstick in his crack, I said, no.

• 16:08Connor Wood?

  Let me try to do devil's advocate.

• 16:10Brooke Averick?

  Try.

• 16:10Connor Wood?

  I know, I'm gonna try.

• 16:11Brooke Averick?

  Try.

• 16:12Connor Wood?

  Maybe this is someone who has maybe like a bit of muscle memory. Maybe they've been incarcerated and they're used to having to hide things like a chapstick. That would be considered a luxury.

• 16:26Connor Wood?

  In prison or in jail, and maybe that's just like something that was second nature.

• 16:30Brooke Averick?

  That's the best argument that I've heard so far. Like I, and it's one of the only you could make, or maybe he grew up with a lot of siblings. And like he really. Hey guys, we want to take a break to thank a sponsor of today's episode, GU. I feel like the older I get, the more I notice little changes in my skin. My skin can look duller, the texture is more noticeable, and I'm definitely paying more attention to keeping it hydrated and looking bright. That's why I started using GU skincare, spelled J I Y U and pronounced GU. And I've been loving how easy it is to work into my routine.

• 17:03Connor Wood?

  GU is a Korean skincare brand known for their rejuvenation toner pads. These are basically an entire Korean skincare routine packed into a single swipe. Each pad is saturated with eight clinically backed Korean skincare actives and is designed to help brighten, hydrate, soothe, and address signs of aging. They can also help with the appearance of dark spots, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, discoloration, fine lines and wrinkles. Oh, it's you. GU.

• 17:26Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 17:26Connor Wood?

  They sit next to the sink and then you're like, I could, I could do one more through and then you, you finish with the, the little toner pads and it's like, you feel hydrated. You feel clean. You know how I have that wash my hands thing before bed? This is kind of the same thing, but for my face.

• 17:39Brooke Averick?

  The pads have ingredients like snail mucin for hydration and glow. It's not funny. It's a real ingredient. Peptides to support firmer looking skin and niacinamide to help visibly brighten and even out the skin. I love that I'm getting all of those ingredients in one really simple step instead of having to layer a million different products. If you're trying GU for the first time, I'd go with the glow up bundle. It includes GU's best selling toning polish pads and their moisturizer with NAD plus.

• 18:06Connor Wood?

  Oh.

• 18:07Brooke Averick?

  So it's an easy way to experience more of the GU routine while getting the best overall value. GU is also dermatologist tested and has a 90 day money back guarantee.

• 18:16Connor Wood?

  I didn't know it had an NAD, NAD plus.

• 18:18Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 18:18Connor Wood?

  That's huge for me.

• 18:19Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 18:20Connor Wood?

  For a limited time, GU is having a crazy deal for our listeners. Their glow up bundle is already up to 45% off right now. And our listeners can get an additional 20% off. That's 65% off.

So please support our show and tell them our show sent you. Hey y'all, I want to take a quick break to thank a sponsor of today's episode, Googles. Lately, we've been reaching for the same thing for lunch and dinner. Googles.

• 18:53Brooke Averick?

  We always do.

• 18:54Connor Wood?

  Googles taste just like mac and cheese. The mac and cheese that we know and love. You guys, get in close to me. Remember that mac and cheese that we know and love? Googles has it, but it's packed with protein and nutrients. And they're single serve microwavable cups. You love that stuff.

• 19:10Brooke Averick?

  I do. The easier the better for me.

• 19:11Connor Wood?

  Yes. They're perfect for busy schedules, especially while I'm traveling and moving.

• 19:15Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. You, you know how much I love ease and that's just what Googles is able to provide me. If I'm running late between meetings.

• 19:22Connor Wood?

  Pop off Katie.

• 19:23Brooke Averick?

  Recordings, or just realize I forgot to eat, I can throw one in the microwave with water and just have something warm and satisfying in, in just a few minutes. You know, I love the chatty mac. It's so creamy. So cheesy. I don't have to add milk or butter. So it's super easy to whip up. Could you imagine if I had to add milk or butter?

• 19:41Connor Wood?

  Those are steps that are not willing or able. The three flavors of Googles mac and cheese cups have 10 plus grams of protein plus fiber with prebiotics. Guess what? Vitamins and minerals as well from real plant sources. And the box version comes in even more flavors, including vegan and gluten free options. It's also a low glycemic index food, which means it provides a steady energy instead of a carb crash. And on top of that is kosher and clean label purity award certified.

• 20:05Brooke Averick?

  Do what we did. Get yourself some Googles. We know you'll love them too. Pick up Googles on your next shopping trip. It's available nationwide at Target and Walmart, plus many other major grocery stores and retailers.

• 20:17Connor Wood?

  Nice.

• 20:18Brooke Averick?

  And don't forget the single serve cups.

• 20:21Brooke Averick?

  He had to keep his, his treasures close to his chest and his person. Or else it would be taken from him. So it could be a situation where he was either in prison or grew up, grew up with a, with people who took.

• 20:35Connor Wood?

  Limited resources.

• 20:36Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 20:36Connor Wood?

  Yeah. That feels better, right? That feels better than thinking he put it into his butt.

• 20:43Brooke Averick?

  No, he did put it into his butt.

• 20:44Connor Wood?

  I mean into his person. I'm sorry.

• 20:46Brooke Averick?

  He didn't like stick it up his.

• 20:48Connor Wood?

  Well, we don't know what he's doing.

• 20:49Brooke Averick?

  I don't know what he's doing when he's not.

• 20:51Connor Wood?

  Behind his drawers. Yeah.

• 20:52Brooke Averick?

  But it was like a coin purse.

• 20:54Connor Wood?

  Was he wearing jeans? Or shorts?

• 20:57Brooke Averick?

  No, I think it was just shorts.

• 20:58Connor Wood?

  Cool. Okay. I'm feeling more comfortable with this already.

• 21:01Brooke Averick?

  Really?

• 21:02Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 21:04Connor Wood?

  It's so hot out. Everyone listening that is not in LA. Um, or south, that the idea of slipping a piece of plastic into my crack is like unimaginable. First of all, it wouldn't stay because I'm soaking wet as soon as I step out. It is a heat that is like so still and being magnified upward from the concrete that he must've been clenching. What, what, um?

• 21:32Brooke Averick?

  I, here's something else I'll say about this thing. Like there was a lot of cheek.

• 21:38Connor Wood?

  Got it.

• 21:39Brooke Averick?

  So it was like, I don't think it would. Like the way that he was built, like I honestly don't think the chapstick would go anywhere.

• 21:46Connor Wood?

  Those are my thickles?

• 21:47Brooke Averick?

  It was genuinely, yeah.

• 21:49Connor Wood?

  Yeah, okay.

• 21:50Brooke Averick?

  Like, so something else, he could have had holes at the bottom of his pockets.

• 21:56Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 21:56Brooke Averick?

  And the chapstick could have slipped out.

• 21:58Connor Wood?

  Sure.

• 22:00Brooke Averick?

  I don't know, but like, that was, this was like over a week ago, so it stayed with me.

• 22:06Connor Wood?

  That has staying power.

• 22:08Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 22:09Connor Wood?

  Yeah, okay, well, thank you for, I'm serious, thank you for sharing that, and that was fun to theorize about what's happening.

• 22:15Brooke Averick?

  Happy to.

• 22:16Connor Wood?

  Yeah, in the, in the shorts.

• 22:17Brooke Averick?

  It was fun.

• 22:18Connor Wood?

  Yeah, special. Um, okay, hard to follow up.

• 22:23Brooke Averick?

  Anything like that happen to you?

• 22:25Connor Wood?

  Stuff like that happens to me all the time, that like, it is literally the norm, so I don't necessarily pay that much attention. Yeah, though, that's like, yeah, that's novel.

• 22:39Brooke Averick?

  Oh, and imagine having to still walk behind him, knowing.

• 22:44Connor Wood?

  You didn't switch sides?

• 22:45Brooke Averick?

  No, I, well, at that point, I was like, I'm in it.

• 22:49Brooke Averick?

  There's no other side.

• 22:52Connor Wood?

  Okay, it's the one sidewalk.

• 22:53Brooke Averick?

  Single file. And we were pretty much at the Grove. I wonder where he was going. Sephora?

• 23:00Connor Wood?

  I mean, he could

• 23:03Connor Wood?

  he could make out like a bandit in Sephora.

• 23:05Brooke Averick?

  What am I thinking of? Where just like something like drops out of someone's person? Like, cause for example, like imagine he's like getting a spray tan? And the chapstick just drops out of his person? What am I thinking of where something did just like drop out of someone?

• 23:25Connor Wood?

  There's an episode of Always Sunny that like, but you haven't seen that.

• 23:29Brooke Averick?

  Or something just fell out? Come back to me.

• 23:37Brooke Averick?

  Just come back to me.

• 23:39Connor Wood?

  Hmm, I don't know. Nothing's coming right to mind.

• 23:43Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 23:46Brooke Averick?

  Okay, that's, that's that.

• 23:47Connor Wood?

  Okay, we'll think about it. One, well, I'm in town because we have a new baby now.

• 23:53Brooke Averick?

  Congratulations.

• 23:55Connor Wood?

  Cousin Logan had another baby.

• 23:56Brooke Averick?

  She's so cute.

• 23:57Connor Wood?

  She is cute. I don't even like the orange.

• 23:58Brooke Averick?

  Do you like her?

• 23:59Connor Wood?

  Yeah. She's very active. It was making me nervous.

• 24:02Brooke Averick?

  Like in what way?

• 24:03Connor Wood?

  Like, kept like kinda opening, I don't think she like opens her eyes, so like cousin had a new baby. Um, two days ago, three days ago, four days ago, whatever, brand new this week, not a week old. And it's like fully a baby, like a little animatronic being. And just really active and like

• 24:25Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 24:26Connor Wood?

  And I'm like, are you good? Like, is that normal breathing? I could not. Goodness, I could not, I wouldn't be able to sleep ever again, cause I'd be like, is that normal? How do you know that everything's normal?

• 24:36Brooke Averick?

  Baby.

• 24:36Connor Wood?

  You know what?

• 24:39Connor Wood?

  Good use of AI, like there should be an AI monitor that is like, this is all norm, like a green thing, that's like, everything's still normal, like, I guess you don't want a camera on your baby, but like, how do you ever sleep? I would need like eyes monitoring the baby 24/7 and like and like like, uh, not like monitoring it, but also like diagnosing it as healthy, like positive feedback, positive feedback, positive feedback. Oh, weird breathing, you know?

• 25:05Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. No, I don't understand how I would ever have a kid, especially because I know how I am with my cats.

• 25:10Connor Wood?

  That one thing that I learned that was out of nowhere, that blew my mind was the hair getting stuck around baby's toes and it like

• 25:17Brooke Averick?

  I told you that, right?

• 25:18Connor Wood?

  I think so, yeah. Hair can get stuck, like your hair, my, a piece of my hair, which is not that long, could get stuck. Laundry, whatever you're doing for the baby, could get stuck around its toe. They're screaming, you don't, they can, you know, you don't know why they're screaming.

• 25:34Brooke Averick?

  No, they probably won't even feel it.

• 25:37Connor Wood?

  A piece of your hair can wrap around and cut off the circulation of a baby's toe.

• 25:42Brooke Averick?

  And I forget if it's like, can they die or they would just need their toe amped?

• 25:45Connor Wood?

  You would lose a toe. Yeah, I don't think you'd die.

• 25:47Brooke Averick?

  But you, like, I saw a TikTok, like, you should check your baby's toes.

• 25:50Connor Wood?

  I was staring at the toes.

• 25:51Brooke Averick?

  Check your baby's toes.

• 25:52Connor Wood?

  She's huge toes, like she has huge feet. She's gonna be so tall. She was nine pounds.

• 25:58Brooke Averick?

  That's like hard to think about. Yeah.

• 26:02Connor Wood?

  So Logan said the doc, well, I don't know how much I can share, but like

• 26:05Brooke Averick?

  She, I talked to her too, she had like a rough, rough birthing experience.

• 26:09Connor Wood?

  She said the doctor was like, on her stomach.

• 26:11Brooke Averick?

  Punched her stomach.

• 26:13Connor Wood?

  And the nurse said, that was barbaric. That was what the nurse shared with her.

• 26:17Brooke Averick?

  Whoa.

• 26:17Connor Wood?

  Yeah. I, she said the nurse, the nurse said that she had to walk out for a second, cause it was like I was like, huh?

• 26:25Brooke Averick?

  I asked her, like, I was like, why didn't you just get a C-section?

• 26:30Brooke Averick?

  Cause like, for me, like if I'm in labor for like more than an hour, I'm like, just cut, just cut it out, like I, that, that's how I assume I would be, just based off of how I get when I'm remotely uncomfortable.

• 26:40Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 26:40Brooke Averick?

  So it's like, and she was like, well, that's like a major surgery that I like didn't want, and like, that's like, pretty big to be able to like stick to that while you're in so much pain, you know, I think, like, I don't think I could do that.

• 26:55Connor Wood?

  Yeah. She's been very, very real, like I honestly wish she had a bigger platform for pregnant women, because she said, this is the I hate being pregnant, there's no magic about it, I hate it, I hate it, I hate it, I'll never do this again. Second baby.

• 27:08Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 27:09Connor Wood?

  So like, I, like, I don't know how many people feel that way.

• 27:10Brooke Averick?

  It's nice to get all perspectives.

• 27:12Connor Wood?

  She was like, there's no magic to pregnancy, I'm miserable. I hate it. Um, but

• 27:17Brooke Averick?

  It is like that for some people.

• 27:18Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 27:19Brooke Averick?

  I don't imagine my if I'm to ever get pregnant, I don't imagine that being a positive experience for me, yeah. As someone who can't, like, deal with any sort of physical discomfort.

• 27:31Connor Wood?

  Mm-mm, imagine you have twins.

• 27:34Brooke Averick?

  I, I don't think that would be like a possibility. Cause I'm like so short.

• 27:38Connor Wood?

  But you would have the genetics to keep them short and tiny in your body too.

• 27:41Brooke Averick?

  I wonder. I was a normal sized baby.

• 27:47Connor Wood?

  Yeah, like, yeah, well, you wouldn't be a miniature baby.

• 27:50Brooke Averick?

  You just said I would have the genetics to keep them small in my body, and I'm saying that I was normal in my mom's body.

• 27:55Connor Wood?

  I mean, I'm speaking from no experience, I'm like, your body, your body knows, like, I can't have a grown adult.

• 28:03Brooke Averick?

  Did you think I thought I was gonna have two grown adult twins in my body?

• 28:06Connor Wood?

  You're just not gonna have a nine pound baby, I don't think, like Logan.

• 28:10Brooke Averick?

  I don't think I could have two six pound ones.

• 28:14Brooke Averick?

  Or seven. Six, seven.

• 28:19Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I'm not saying you will.

• 28:20Brooke Averick?

  No, I don't, twins don't, I don't think there's any twins in my family.

• 28:22Connor Wood?

  Let's do a polymarket bet on the weight of Brooke's twins that she hasn't had.

• 28:26Brooke Averick?

  I don't even want to.

• 28:29Connor Wood?

  Uh, my shirt is, imagine the scratches.

• 28:32Brooke Averick?

  Connor walked into the studio this morning with his shirt like completely like unbuttoned, like very long V. Wait, are you still doing very long V? You buttoned like two buttons.

• 28:43Connor Wood?

  I don't have my rack out.

• 28:44Brooke Averick?

  That's still like a big, solid V that you're doing.

• 28:46Connor Wood?

  It is unimaginably hot.

• 28:49Brooke Averick?

  Why are you wearing jeans and a flannel?

• 28:52Connor Wood?

  It's just what I brought on my trip.

• 28:56Brooke Averick?

  I have not, I've, I've, I can only tolerate like very thin tank tops right now.

• 29:02Connor Wood?

  Um, I'm in AC, walkout, car, AC, walkout, in AC.

• 29:08Brooke Averick?

  I thought you were saying NAC, like the ingredient in something.

• 29:12Connor Wood?

  No.

• 29:12Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Oh, you're in AC?

• 29:14Connor Wood?

  I'm in the air conditioning.

• 29:16Brooke Averick?

  Got it.

• 29:17Connor Wood?

  Um, the other clothes I've gotten, so we were just talking about Fabletics as a sponsor today. I I had, I went and like got, I haven't gotten new like workout clothes in a long time. And I went and got some workout, I, I went to like a couple stores, men's, men's like workout gear is hard to come across. You know, and I haven't bought new, I swear the same stuff that I've had since genuinely like college. Even some socks I have had since college. And so I haven't really like done that, and I was like, at the mall, and I was like

• 29:52Connor Wood?

  I'm gonna go to like, Viori, Lululemon.

• 29:54Brooke Averick?

  What mall did you go to?

• 29:55Connor Wood?

  Century City, I love Century City. Do you not like Century City?

• 29:57Brooke Averick?

  I haven't been in forever.

• 29:59Connor Wood?

  Oh, it's awesome.

• 29:59Brooke Averick?

  They have a new store of just squishy stuff. Keep going.

• 30:02Connor Wood?

  I'm aware of the butter.

• 30:03Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I wanna go there.

• 30:04Connor Wood?

  It's really cool. Um, they have a little kiosk at the Grove you could go to, they have all the same stuff.

• 30:11Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I, oh Connor, oh, I know, but I'm saying this is a huge venue, like open room of all the squishy things you could ever want.

• 30:17Connor Wood?

  I'm, I'm, I know exactly

• 30:19Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 30:20Connor Wood?

  what you're talking about.

• 30:23Connor Wood?

  But I'm going to these places and

• 30:24Brooke Averick?

  By the way, the Nidos at the Grove are fake.

• 30:29Brooke Averick?

  In case you're trying to get like a real, true Nido.

• 30:32Connor Wood?

  I don't know why Nidos genuinely, but they piss me off.

• 30:35Brooke Averick?

  Why?

• 30:35Connor Wood?

  I don't know. I don't know.

• 30:37Brooke Averick?

  I think there's better squishes.

• 30:40Connor Wood?

  Yeah. When you bring Nidos into AC, they get too hard.

• 30:44Brooke Averick?

  The Nidos at the Grove are so soft.

• 30:47Connor Wood?

  Cause it's freaking 100 degrees out.

• 30:48Brooke Averick?

  Well, no, it's fake. They're fake.

• 30:50Connor Wood?

  It's hot out. They're soft because they're melting.

• 30:53Brooke Averick?

  I purchased a Nido from the Grove in a perfectly normal temperature, and it was, it's so malleable in my hand, it should not be malleable in my hand. What, what did you just get in your mouth?

• 31:06Connor Wood?

  I guess nothing.

• 31:07Brooke Averick?

  Okay, sorry, keep going about your workout clothes.

• 31:16Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 31:19Connor Wood?

  So I went in. I don't know. I guess because I haven't been in buying stuff for a long time. When did like a shirt and some shorts become $200?

• 31:29Brooke Averick?

  Forever ago.

• 31:29Connor Wood?

  If I would have been.

• 31:30Brooke Averick?

  Where'd you go?

• 31:31Connor Wood?

  Viori, Lululemon, all these. Where else did I go?

• 31:37Connor Wood?

  Aloe. Aloe is the worst of the three.

• 31:40Brooke Averick?

  I've, I've been rejected from Aloe Gym in a similar way that I've been rejected from Raya.

• 31:46Connor Wood?

  I just like am confused. If I would have been paying attention, you want to know what I would use my platform for? No, that would not have happened on my watch if I was one, posting TikToks ever and two, buying any workout clothes. Who let that happen? What are we doing? And then I go in, I go, I forget which store and I was like, hi, do you have any shirts? At this athletic wear store? Do you have any shirts? They go, um.

• 32:15Connor Wood?

  Maybe check behind the jeans?

• 32:19Connor Wood?

  Jeans? Why are you making, are they workout jeans? Are they jeans I'd wear on the treadmill? No, they're jeans. They're denim. What?

• 32:29Connor Wood?

  Why did you diverge from the path that you were on? Why are athletic clothes companies making jeans and jackets? And they stay in your lane. We support you. We brought you here. Don't, don't leave us. They didn't have any workout shirts. They have jeans and like blazers.

• 32:49Connor Wood?

  It's like how all of the, uh.

• 32:54Connor Wood?

  Like the seltzers. Then they're like, we're putting alcohol on them. And I'm like, okay, that's cool. And then like Y-Klaus, like we're taking the alcohol out of it. I'm like, why don't you guys just, everyone just do their one thing?

• 33:04Brooke Averick?

  I got that, Connor. And I'm sorry.

• 33:07Connor Wood?

  It just makes, it upsets me. And then like, and then I look up at a billboard and I see like Kylie Jenner modeling sweatpants and it's Kai. And I'm like, how are you doing that makeup? The hydration drink? How are you doing? Why is everyone doing so much?

• 33:23Brooke Averick?

  That's why you need to shop online.

• 33:25Connor Wood?

  I know, but why doesn't, I, I just wish that everybody, every company did their thing.

• 33:28Brooke Averick?

  I know.

• 33:29Connor Wood?

  I wish every celebrity had their thing. I wish, everyone's doing too much. Everyone needs to stop working so hard. I'm serious. Like everyone just do their one thing. Be a singer? Make an energy drink? Good. That you're a singer with an energy drink. Don't need to add alcohol to it. That's for loco. That exists. Everything already exists.

• 33:49Brooke Averick?

  I hear you.

• 33:50Connor Wood?

  Except the cloud popcorn with the protein.

• 33:53Brooke Averick?

  You like that? Okay. Except Chloe, if you hear me, keep that going.

• 33:57Connor Wood?

  I do actually like that.

• 33:58Brooke Averick?

  I haven't had it.

• 34:00Connor Wood?

  It tastes exactly like the skinny pop, the white cheddar skinny pop. But then they also made a sweet one. It's like cotton candy flavored.

• 34:07Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I was thinking more like caramel, caramel-y.

• 34:11Connor Wood?

  It's really good. I just like, I was really mind blown that I, I walk in, I'm getting two pieces and I went to checkout and they're like 178. And I was like, no, I'm just getting the one shirt.

• 34:20Brooke Averick?

  You can't get a piece of athleisure and in any of these stores that's less than seven.

• 34:26Connor Wood?

  Why are we not in the streets genuinely pick, pickpocketing? Wait. Picketing, what is it?

• 34:32Brooke Averick?

  Like picketing?

• 34:33Connor Wood?

  Why are we pickpocketing people?

• 34:34Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 34:35Connor Wood?

  So we can afford these clothes. No, why aren't we picketing?

• 34:38Brooke Averick?

  No.

• 34:39Connor Wood?

  How have we let this happen?

• 34:41Brooke Averick?

  Protesting?

• 34:41Connor Wood?

  Protesting.

• 34:42Brooke Averick?

  Um, I, it's bad. Yeah, I totally am.

• 34:45Connor Wood?

  How are, how is everyone wearing these clothes? I'm seriously confused.

• 34:49Brooke Averick?

  I think that people aren't going to like Aloe and Lululemon.

• 34:53Brooke Averick?

  Fabletics is really well priced, I think.

• 34:55Connor Wood?

  Yeah. Okay. Well, I just like.

• 34:58Brooke Averick?

  Old Navy's got good stuff.

• 35:00Connor Wood?

  Abercrombie is good.

• 35:00Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. So you heard it here first.

• 35:03Connor Wood?

  I know.

• 35:04Brooke Averick?

  Life hack, don't shop.

• 35:05Connor Wood?

  By the way, like, that was me being so real and raw and I probably, like, probably could have worked with some of those companies in the future at some point. And I just threw it all down the drain.

• 35:15Brooke Averick?

  Good for you.

• 35:16Connor Wood?

  And I'm willing.

• 35:17Brooke Averick?

  You stand for nothing.

• 35:18Connor Wood?

  You fall for everything, Aaron Burr.

• 35:19Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Exactly. So.

• 35:23Connor Wood?

  Man, I felt good to get off my chest.

• 35:26Brooke Averick?

  Good, good. I'm glad.

• 35:27Connor Wood?

  Yeah. I hit something else. Oh.

• 35:32Brooke Averick?

  What?

• 35:32Connor Wood?

  I don't think you're gonna think, this is gonna be like another thing I like put out there and you're gonna be like, okay.

• 35:37Brooke Averick?

  Try me.

• 35:39Connor Wood?

  No, I don't want you to. Okay, well. So I like, have been getting a lot of groceries. I've been really good with the groceries. I told you in this new apartment, like, that I love. And I'm gonna also talk about one other thing about the new apartment. I've gotten a bunch of groceries. I'm cooking a lot. I'm like, it's so, when you get the right ingredients for the right stuff and I'm, I'm not cooking anything brilliant. But like anything is already like prepackaged, pre-portioned, whatever. Or I go get like the like microwavable rice packets. And then you get like a protein and then you put an avocado in it. And like, that's the extent. But I've been doing it. It's like genuinely like slot bowls, which is what I always make. And I saw this TikTok of this girl that was like, she had, I think she was doing an internship or something. And she like texted her like college friend group.

• 36:21Connor Wood?

  And she made like the most disgusting looking salad, which like, I am on her side. Sometimes you make like the most delicious thing and it literally looks like you threw up into a bowl. She made it and like snapchatted her friends and was like, okay, go off Katie.

• 36:36Connor Wood?

  Disgusting throw up bowl. And her friends for like years and years and years were like, ew, that looks like the go off Katie salad. And literally like in my apartment, when I make these disgusting bowls, I always go to myself, go off Katie.

• 36:47Brooke Averick?

  Hey guys, we want to take a break to thank a sponsor of today's episode, Fabletics. Does anyone else still get that back to school shopping feeling when summer starts winding down? Something about this time of year always makes me want to refresh my closet and get back into a routine. The only challenge is figuring out what to wear when it's 85 degrees outside but freezing inside. So I've been reaching for lightweight layering pieces lately. That's one of the reasons I love shopping at Fabletics. They have so many pieces that are perfect for this in-between season. And if you're new to Fabletics, becoming a VIP unlocks major savings on your first purchase, which makes refreshing your wardrobe a whole lot more affordable.

• 37:22Connor Wood?

  They do have men's stuff too. I know.

Everyday basics and lightweight layering pieces without spending a fortune. I want to jump into this as well. I'm gonna jump into this more in the episode. We'll see when this ad comes out in the episode. But you've either heard me go on my rant or this is just nailing at home, whatever the saying is. The quality honestly impressed me as well. Everything feels soft, comfortable and made to last with that premium activewear feel you'd expect from much pricier brands. Since I've been in LA, throwing on

• 38:01Connor Wood?

  a lightweight jacket is something I love. You have to bring a layer with you. No matter how hot it is during the day, when that sun goes down, we'll be moving. When that sun goes down, we'll be grooving.

• 38:11Connor Wood?

  Walking on the beach in those chilly mornings, you do need something light and something, something light from Fabletics is perfect.

• 38:34Connor Wood?

  Guys, I have to thank someone special in my life today for sponsoring this episode. It's Warby Parker. By the grace of God, every time we have a Warby Parker's ad spot, I'm wearing my Warby Parkers. Buying glasses used to feel way more complicated than it needed to be. Every time I started looking for new frames, I'd end up with 20 tabs open. I'm trying to compare prices and styles and look at reviews and somehow I'd still have no idea what was actually gonna look good on my face. That's why I've become such a fan of Warby Parker. They make the whole process so much easier.

• 39:04Brooke Averick?

  One of my favorite features of Warby Parker is their virtual try-on. Cause you guys know, if I don't have to leave my house, then I'm not going to. So I really appreciate Warby helping me out there.

• 39:13Connor Wood?

  Thanks.

• 39:13Brooke Averick?

  You can use your phone to see how different frames look on your face in real time before you buy them. It sounds simple, but it's one of those things that completely changes the experience.

• 39:21Connor Wood?

  You guys know I love wearing my Warby Parkers on the pod. I have them on right now. The style feels modern. They're comfortable enough to wear all day. And they genuinely look and feel premium. I have two of these, maybe three. I've gotten a bunch of compliments on them too, which is always really nice. What really surprised me is the quality for the price. So Warby Parker's prescription glasses start at just 95 bucks. You don't have to choose between looking good and staying within budget.

• 39:44Brooke Averick?

  And they're not just a glasses company. They also offer contacts, online eye exams and sunglasses. So pretty much everything you need for happier eyes, all in one place. Plus, if you're someone who likes seeing things in person, they have more than 300 retail stores across the US.

• 40:00Connor Wood?

  Right now, buy one pair of glasses and get 20% off any additional pairs at warbyparker.com/bnc. That's 20% off any additional pairs when you purchase one pair at W A R B Y, parker.com/bnc. I feel like everyone I meet lately is trying to be smarter with money, myself included. Cash back here, coupons and points there. But why does it take so much effort? We all just want to make our money work a little harder.

• 40:25Brooke Averick?

  I totally agree, Connor. I love a good deal, but if I actually have to hunt for one or go out of my way to activate a coupon, I've already checked out.

• 40:33Connor Wood?

  Yeah. Well, Brooke, I think I found one you'll actually like. Prime for Young Adults. It's actually pretty genius. It's a Prime membership for 18 to 24 year olds that actually makes Prime feel like it's built for you.

• 40:43Brooke Averick?

  All right. You've got my attention, Connor. But what's the catch?

• 40:48Connor Wood?

  What if I told you there isn't one? I'm talking about 5% cash back on eligible purchases in categories like beauty, apparel, electronics, PCs and health and personal care.

• 40:57Brooke Averick?

  You're telling me this whole time I could have been getting rewarded for the purchases I already make and with no catch?

• 41:03Connor Wood?

  Exactly. You're not changing your shopping habits. You just get rewarded for them. And the best part? The cash back is automatic. No coupons, no activation, no extra steps.

• 41:13Brooke Averick?

  Now that's the kind of reward I can get behind. No extra work, just getting rewarded for the life I'm already living. Talking about Prime for Young Adults, 5% cash back, 100% made for you.

• 41:24Connor Wood?

  I'm talking about that. If you're between 18 and 24, check out Prime for Young Adults and start earning cash back on the purchases you're already making. Prime for Young Adults is only available for 18 to 24 year olds. Terms apply.

• 41:36Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I think that's sweet. I like that.

• 41:39Connor Wood?

  Cause it like only has to make sense to you.

• 41:41Brooke Averick?

  Exactly.

• 41:42Connor Wood?

  The go off Katie salad. I'm like, that is so funny.

• 41:44Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, that's good. Oh, that makes me feel like a warmth in my heart for that friend group. Like.

• 41:50Connor Wood?

  No, they, they said that it, I want to, I'll show it to you after, but like, it literally has come up. They search, you know, when people like search the like inside joke in their camera roll and they have it screenshot like 40 times? So funny.

• 42:01Brooke Averick?

  I love that.

• 42:05Connor Wood?

  But like, it is like a very humbling thing to be like, I really want to send this to like my friends, but like, it's really nothing to write home about.

• 42:12Brooke Averick?

  I wish I could explain this one go off Katie moment that involves Tristan.

• 42:17Connor Wood?

  Try.

• 42:18Brooke Averick?

  It's like, it's not gonna be interpreted the right way.

• 42:20Connor Wood?

  Just like, only give us what we need.

• 42:23Brooke Averick?

  Well, I can't say what he said. Cause it's like, it's just basically we were at.

• 42:31Brooke Averick?

  We were at a bar and we were in line for the bathroom and Tristan turned to these two young women in front of him and said something, which like, if you know Tristan, like, it's totally fine to say, but if you don't know Tristan and you are being approached by a man at a bar, it was, it was really, like, could be really scary, like, and not, not okay. And Tristan just like, didn't even think about the fact that these girls didn't know him and that he's like, presents as a man to some, you know?

• 43:03Connor Wood?

  Didn't he try to go into the bathroom or something?

• 43:06Brooke Averick?

  Oh, no, that was a completely different, different time when a bouncer wasn't letting him in with us into the women's room and he started topping. That was a different time.

• 43:15Connor Wood?

  I remember that.

• 43:15Brooke Averick?

  But this, it's just something that he said to these young women in front of us that comes back time and time and time again.

• 43:22Connor Wood?

  Can you just tell me and we'll cut it?

• 43:23Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I have a gun in my purse.

• 43:25Connor Wood?

  You can say that. You can say that.

• 43:29Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 43:29Connor Wood?

  You can.

• 43:30Brooke Averick?

  I can't.

• 43:31Connor Wood?

  Brooke, that's funny. I'll, I'll, I'll say it.

• 43:33Brooke Averick?

  I can tell you that he said, that he had something in his purse.

• 43:38Connor Wood?

  He had a gun in his purse.

• 43:39Brooke Averick?

  No, you can't say that.

• 43:40Connor Wood?

  You can. I promise you.

• 43:41Brooke Averick?

  You can't say that he had a gun in his purse.

• 43:43Connor Wood?

  You can.

• 43:43Brooke Averick?

  You can't.

• 43:44Connor Wood?

  I'm, like, how come you don't trust me?

• 43:47Brooke Averick?

  What do you mean?

• 43:48Connor Wood?

  You, we 100% can.

• 43:49Brooke Averick?

  I feel like people are gonna...

• 43:50Connor Wood?

  No one's getting cancelled for saying that.

• 43:52Brooke Averick?

  It's not like a thing about cancelled, but you can't, you just like, really can't go up to two women and say, "I have a gun in my purse."

• 43:57Connor Wood?

  No, and he learned his lesson in real time.

• 44:00Brooke Averick?

  I forget why, like, something had happened earlier about a gun.

• 44:04Connor Wood?

  No, it was, it was that inside joke. It was like that thing...

• 44:06Brooke Averick?

  It was like, something was talking, someone was talking about a gun and then Tristan was like, it just like, he literally like, has like, he just says whatever's on his mind. So imagine going up to the two women in front of you and just saying, "I have a gun in my purse."

• 44:17Connor Wood?

  100%, that's something that like, would slip out after like, two martinis, you know, and then you're like, in real, you feel it leaving your mouth and you're like, back, you know?

• 44:28Brooke Averick?

  I feel like Tristan's like, gonna be upset that I...

• 44:30Connor Wood?

  Well, we can cut it and we can text him after. It's fine. I'm just, I won't text him right now.

• 44:35Brooke Averick?

  Call him.

• 44:38Connor Wood?

  Call Tristan Chan, or Tristan Channing, Tristan Watson.

• 44:44Connor Wood?

  He's probably working.

• 44:46Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, but if we, if we say he has a gun in his purse, I want to tell the story better.

• 44:52Connor Wood?

  I'm telling you, it's fine.

• 44:53Speaker 03

  Hi, this is Tristan Watson.

• 44:54Brooke Averick?

  He's in a meeting.

• 44:55Connor Wood?

  Yeah, we'll just tell the story well, and then if we have to cut it, we'll cut it. It's funny. I mean, it doesn't matter. So like, what was the outcome of that?

• 45:03Brooke Averick?

  The outcome is like, everyone's always like, "I have a gun in my purse."

• 45:06Connor Wood?

  Oh, he's calling back. Hey, Tristan.

• 45:09Speaker 03

  I feel horrible. I hung up on you.

• 45:11Connor Wood?

  You don't even worry about it. You actually rejected my call. So Brooke and I are talking about, we're on the pod, you're, we're on the podcast, we're recording.

• 45:18Speaker 03

  Cute.

• 45:19Connor Wood?

  Yeah, we're talking about that time that you approached the two women in the line for the bathroom and shared that you had something on your purse.

• 45:27Brooke Averick?

  Do you think we can say that?

• 45:29Connor Wood?

  100% we can do that. It's, it's literally like, I would be worried if we couldn't say that. Like, that's hilarious, but like...

• 45:36Speaker 03

  I don't remember the context as to why I said that.

• 45:39Brooke Averick?

  There wasn't any, Trish.

• 45:40Connor Wood?

  It was like a long...

• 45:41Brooke Averick?

  Someone was talking about like, guns earlier and like, you just were like, "Ooh, gun just came into my mind. Let me turn the two women in front of me and say, 'I have a gun in my purse.'" Because you did have a purse on.

• 45:52Speaker 03

  But I had a very small red, red hand basket and you can't fit, you could fit maybe a stick of gum in there. So like, I, I didn't think there was like, an actual, like, that someone would think that. Like, looking back at it, I wouldn't have said that I had a gun in my hand basket.

• 46:08Brooke Averick?

  Of course.

• 46:08Connor Wood?

  What, wait, what, what was the outcome of, what, what was the outcome of that?

• 46:12Brooke Averick?

  Oh, it was tough.

• 46:13Speaker 03

  They were obviously like, "Don't say that." And I was like, "Okay, yeah, no, like, totally valid. Like, that makes total sense to not say that in a public bar."

• 46:22Connor Wood?

  Right.

• 46:22Speaker 03

  And I felt, I felt really guilty about the situation and I felt horrible.

• 46:26Connor Wood?

  Didn't you go, didn't you go home?

• 46:29Speaker 03

  I should have.

• 46:30Brooke Averick?

  No, we didn't.

• 46:32Speaker 03

  I think I had, I ended up having a nice conversation with those young ladies.

• 46:35Brooke Averick?

  It was hard to watch them being like, "You really can't say that."

• 46:38Connor Wood?

  Sure.

• 46:39Brooke Averick?

  And Tristan was like, "I totally understand."

• 46:41Connor Wood?

  That's one of those, that's just, that is one of those things.

• 46:43Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 46:44Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 46:44Brooke Averick?

  It was just like...

• 46:45Speaker 03

  So, "Don't say that."

• 46:46Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 46:46Speaker 03

  You know, you shouldn't.

• 46:48Connor Wood?

  Yeah, at a bar, like, you know, that happens.

• 46:51Speaker 03

  Well, I was in the line for the bathroom. Oh, maybe? I don't know why. Why was that? If I think of it, I'll ponder that we could add a little footnote in the podcast as to why I thought I could say that, but it wasn't in a threatening way.

• 47:02Connor Wood?

  No.

• 47:03Brooke Averick?

  No, that's the thing. It's like, everyone who knows you...

• 47:06Connor Wood?

  I have a gun in my purse.

• 47:07Brooke Averick?

  Knows it's not, "I've got a gun in my purse and I'm gonna use it. It's, "I have a gun in my hand basket."

• 47:11Connor Wood?

  I'm just like, I have a, I have a gun in my hand basket.

• 47:13Brooke Averick?

  And, but, sometimes we forget, not everyone knows us. And so, a man approaching you at a bar saying, "I have a gun," is not always like, "Ha ha."

• 47:23Speaker 03

  Okay, but like, I had a red sweater and like, flare pants and I have red hand, like, kitten tote. So like, I don't think, they would, they'd give you harm, but like, I didn't think, you know, but, you know, you never know, so...

• 47:37Brooke Averick?

  Sometimes like, when you, you're approaching a bar and someone says, "I have a gun," like, your eye doesn't go right to the flint.

• 47:43Speaker 03

  You say it like, I said it like that.

• 47:45Brooke Averick?

  And the hand basket, it goes to, "Oh, there's a gun."

• 47:46Connor Wood?

  I know. Brooke is villainizing you for saying you have a firearm.

• 47:50Brooke Averick?

  I'm not.

• 47:51Speaker 03

  She did, I didn't walk up and say like, "I have a gun." It was like, more...

• 47:57Brooke Averick?

  What do you think you did?

• 48:00Speaker 03

  Every time you say the story, it sounds like I walked up and threatened these young women like, for all their belongings. Like, I didn't do that.

• 48:07Brooke Averick?

  You turned, it was me and you and Kat in line, talking, and then you turned around to these two young women and said, "I have a gun in my purse."

• 48:20Speaker 03

  Oh, I did it!

• 48:21Brooke Averick?

  What do you think you did?

• 48:23Speaker 03

  I don't think I said it like that.

• 48:25Brooke Averick?

  Well, how do you think you said it?

• 48:28Speaker 03

  I don't know now.

• 48:29Brooke Averick?

  I'm telling you, I was there.

• 48:33Speaker 03

  We had a good laugh, didn't we?

• 48:39Brooke Averick?

  Sure.

• 48:39Speaker 03

  You know, I hope those girls are okay. I'm sure they probably see me somewhere and think, "That guy came up to me."

• 48:45Brooke Averick?

  I, I think what it was is there was a moment, like, a literal one moment of silence in our conversation, me, you and Kat, which like, at the time, like, you, you weren't comfortable with. And so, you were kind of just like, antsy, "Ah, I have a gun in my purse," you know?

• 49:02Brooke Averick?

  So that's like, and now that's something we'll say, like, if there's like, a dull moment, like, "I have a gun."

• 49:06Connor Wood?

  We all, yeah, we all have, have been in that.

• 49:09Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 49:09Connor Wood?

  In his shoes.

• 49:11Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 49:11Speaker 03

  Yeah, I was trying to make the, I was trying, like, I don't know, say something.

• 49:15Brooke Averick?

  I know, just like, make conversation.

• 49:18Speaker 03

  Make conversation and make everyone feel comfortable, yet I make them probably feel uncomfortable.

• 49:22Brooke Averick?

  To make everyone feel at home and at ease and comfortable. Yeah.

• 49:27Speaker 03

  Finally at peace.

• 49:29Brooke Averick?

  Finally.

• 49:31Connor Wood?

  Okay, well, thank you for, thank you for sharing your story.

• 49:35Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 49:35Connor Wood?

  There's her truth, there's your truth, and then there's the truth, which is probably what those girls experienced.

• 49:40Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 49:41Speaker 03

  The young woman's truth.

• 49:43Connor Wood?

  Well, like, I, okay, well, we love you.

• 49:47Brooke Averick?

  Love you, man.

• 49:47Speaker 03

  Love you. Bye, y'all.

• 49:50Connor Wood?

  Oh, that was funny.

• 49:52Brooke Averick?

  I just like, I just keep thinking about it through their perspective and I'm like, "That like, sucks." That there was like, a real moment where like, a man approached him at a bar and said, "I have a gun." Like, that was their reality for a minute.

• 50:05Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 50:05Brooke Averick?

  Before, you know, it kind of like Tristan was revealed as, as the person that he is, you know? Scary for a minute.

• 50:13Connor Wood?

  For a moment.

• 50:14Brooke Averick?

  For a moment, until it's flared, flared jeans and red hand basket.

• 50:18Connor Wood?

  Till it's disco time.

• 50:19Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, so...

• 50:20Connor Wood?

  Ooh, that's funny to me. It being Tristan makes it really, really, really funny.

• 50:23Brooke Averick?

  I know. But if you don't like, know Tristan and his heart, like, it could be taken the wrong way. I wouldn't want anyone to ever think that like, Tristan would threaten men.

• 50:31Connor Wood?

  No.

• 50:32Brooke Averick?

  He just like, has to say, what's, anything that pops into his head. And unfortunately, that's what popped into his head in the moment. And like, there were two unsuspecting victims in front of us.

• 50:41Connor Wood?

  Don't call them victims.

• 50:42Brooke Averick?

  Sorry.

• 50:44Connor Wood?

  Um, okay, well, we'll move right ahead. That is funny.

• 50:47Brooke Averick?

  Anyway, that's, what was, how did, why did...

• 50:48Connor Wood?

  The go off Katie salad.

• 50:49Brooke Averick?

  Salad, yeah.

• 50:50Connor Wood?

  We got to the guns. Um, I, here, I'll close my loop finally.

• 50:55Brooke Averick?

  Oh, good.

• 50:56Connor Wood?

  No, wait. The other thing about my apartment, which is why we were talking about the salad, which is how we got to guns, which is crazy. Um, I got an organizer.

• 51:05Brooke Averick?

  I need her.

• 51:05Connor Wood?

  That like, every, all the influencers in New York like, use Consider It Done. It's like a, I, I'm not there right now, but she did a walkthrough, I think yesterday, while I was out of town. And, uh...

• 51:18Brooke Averick?

  Do they have that in LA?

• 51:20Connor Wood?

  They have something similar in LA. I'll look it up.

• 51:23Brooke Averick?

  Please.

• 51:23Connor Wood?

  Or I'll text her. But, um, she's doing my, they find organizing solutions based on like, what you had, like, what areas you have in your apartment. Like, I have, above my fridge, I have, kind of said, "I won't be able to reach, but that's great for my winter jacket." You know, like, so she'll be like, "We need, we need drawer, you know, drawers or like, plastic totes or something." And then they gotta go out there, which is kind of cool. Cause like, I don't have that thing in my brain where it's like, "I don't know the solution for this. I'll throw everything up there."

• 51:54Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. I wish, but like, what do they do with like, a junk drawer? Like, I have to be there, being like, "That's trash, that's trash," you know?

• 52:01Connor Wood?

  Yeah, they, they do. And they, I think that they will sit there and go through your actual clothes with you.

• 52:05Brooke Averick?

  I, yeah, but then it's like, okay, at that point, I might as well do it. Cause my thing is like, I just don't want to be involved at all.

• 52:12Connor Wood?

  You won't.

• 52:12Brooke Averick?

  I just don't want to do, like, the, the hurdle for me is being involved in the process in any way. So it's like, if I'm gonna have to be involved in the process by being like, "I want that, I don't want that," then I might as well just do it myself.

• 52:23Connor Wood?

  No, this is why, no, this is, you need that, you need that catalyst to help you. You need that like, extra hand. I promise you, because they've done it 100 times, they walk you through it and they like, are so clocked in at work, they're working, you know, that they're like, "Okay, this is my client now." Just the same way like, a therapist would like, "Yeah, I could talk, I could work through things myself at my house. I'm not going to. I'm gonna get on my phone." You know? You wouldn't sit there and go through your closet.

• 52:49Brooke Averick?

  Do they take everything with them, all the junk?

• 52:51Connor Wood?

  They donate it, yeah. They have, yeah. Did I tell you what happened the other day in my, before I got out of my basement apartment?

• 52:59Brooke Averick?

  No.

• 53:01Connor Wood?

  I have my little pill bottle with my anxiety medication, the as needed anxiety medication. And in it are three Adderalls that someone gave me a long time ago that I've just had on my person just in case I ever like needed it. Cause like, they said that it helps obviously with ADHD, but also like anxiety because you do all-

• 53:18Brooke Averick?

  Adderall makes my anxiety so much worse.

• 53:20Connor Wood?

  Really?

• 53:20Brooke Averick?

  Yes. I think that's a known thing.

• 53:23Connor Wood?

  So like, this is crazy what I'm about to tell you.

• 53:26Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 53:26Connor Wood?

  I took half. It was a 30 milligram. I don't know any of the-

• 53:30Brooke Averick?

  Half is a lot. 15 milligrams is, I think, a lot of Adderall.

• 53:34Connor Wood?

  As someone who doesn't do-

• 53:35Brooke Averick?

  I take five.

• 53:36Connor Wood?

  Who doesn't do any and has not, I've, like, I always say like, oh yeah, I did a little bit of Adderall in college. I put the extended release capsule into a bottle of water and, and would sip on that bottle of water all day. And like, so it never worked because it was already, it's a capsule and it would like be extended release. That's how it works in your body. They were like, you probably never even, so this was essentially my first time doing Adderall. I took half. I took it at like 10 a.m. to start going through all my boxes. Brooke?

• 54:01Brooke Averick?

  I'm like scared.

• 54:01Connor Wood?

  6 p.m. I had sat down, gone through like my junk boxes. I donated like, half of my stuff, I talked about this in the bonus last week when, or when, when you were on the train. And genuinely got rid of an entire apartment worth of things. And that's what made me so disgusted with like how much I've accumulated, how much stuff I've accumulated and have moved with. So I donated all that Salvation Army. And then, so, but by the time, it was 5 p.m. Brooke, I had to go smoke a cigarette. I don't smoke cigarettes.

• 54:34Brooke Averick?

  Why did you?

• 54:35Connor Wood?

  To like chill out.

• 54:36Brooke Averick?

  Whoa.

• 54:37Connor Wood?

  Yeah. Cause I was like tweaking and I texted my friends. I was like, did I do this wrong? Like this isn't right. And they were like, you took 15 milligrams of Adderall? And I was like, yes. They were like, you don't take Adderall. Like, you can't do that. You should have taken like a point or two, 2.5. So lesson learned. But I did have the most productive day of my life.

• 54:56Brooke Averick?

  That's amazing.

• 54:57Connor Wood?

  It was amazing.

• 54:59Brooke Averick?

  But scary too. So please be careful.

• 55:01Connor Wood?

  Yeah, it was definitely scary. I'm never doing it again. But that was like a productive day.

• 55:05Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, Adderall is kind of like a miracle drug vibe.

• 55:07Connor Wood?

  What?

• 55:07Brooke Averick?

  I said Adderall, A- Adderall's like a miracle drug vibe.

• 55:11Connor Wood?

  Adderall is genuinely meth. So like, I can't, that like freaks me out. Like I was literally like, I want this to be over. I want this to be over. I want this to be over. Um, but it's a productive day. My apartment's gonna be all put together and nice. And then my parents will come and they'll be like, oh my gosh, you're so-

• 55:30Brooke Averick?

  Wow.

• 55:31Connor Wood?

  It's so good. Um, but it's not like that.

• 55:34Brooke Averick?

  I need to be put together.

• 55:35Connor Wood?

  To be honest.

• 55:36Brooke Averick?

  It just sucks because like my cats have completely destroyed my entire apartment. Like my curtains are hanging out of the wall. My couch is a disaster. My rug is all clawed up. And I'm just like, so what's the point of even like doing anything?

• 55:48Connor Wood?

  It's crazy. We've come so far and we don't have like cat resistant couches and like carpets.

• 55:53Brooke Averick?

  It's so bad.

• 55:54Connor Wood?

  Huh. Free idea. Wow.

• 55:56Brooke Averick?

  There are some. I need to replace my rugs and chairs.

• 55:59Connor Wood?

  You can put up that thing on the side of your, is it the side?

• 56:02Brooke Averick?

  Do you think that my whole, I have like scratchers on one side of my couch, tape?

• 56:07Connor Wood?

  They want, they want what they can't have. They want what they can't have.

• 56:10Brooke Averick?

  It's Jonathan's second birthday today.

• 56:11Connor Wood?

  Happy birthday Johnny.

• 56:13Brooke Averick?

  Happy birthday, my lovey.

• 56:15Connor Wood?

  Um, oh, I want to do some TV. We have like 10 minutes. I want to do some TV.

• 56:19Brooke Averick?

  Me too.

• 56:20Connor Wood?

  I think the first, well, actually let me close my loop.

• 56:22Brooke Averick?

  Close it.

• 56:23Connor Wood?

  The book I was thinking of where they were like tossing babies into a whale or whatever, well, not whale, well, was The Giver.

• 56:32Brooke Averick?

  I've never read The Giver.

• 56:33Connor Wood?

  I don't remember the premise at all. A lot of people like came into my DMs. They were like, it's The Giver. It got banned from my school because someone-

• 56:40Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, The Giver is a banned book.

• 56:42Connor Wood?

  Yeah. I was really, I remember being really interested in The Giver. Don't hold me to that because like I don't remember what it was about.

• 56:49Brooke Averick?

  Oh yeah, I wish I had read that one. I remember we had the choice to read The Giver and City of Ember. Did you ever have to read that?

• 56:55Connor Wood?

  I did, yeah.

• 56:56Brooke Averick?

  And I read The City of Ember.

• 57:00Connor Wood?

  I don't, I don't remember what The City of Ember-

• 57:02Brooke Averick?

  Want me to tell you?

• 57:03Connor Wood?

  Yeah, tell me.

• 57:03Brooke Averick?

  It's kind of like a cool concept.

• 57:05Connor Wood?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 57:06Brooke Averick?

  I think it's the one where they're like, they just find out at the end, they've been living underground the whole time.

• 57:13Connor Wood?

  Yes.

• 57:13Brooke Averick?

  Right?

• 57:13Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 57:14Brooke Averick?

  And you're kind of like-

• 57:14Connor Wood?

  And there were like layers of-

• 57:15Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 57:16Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I remember that.

• 57:19Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, anyway. Maybe I should read The Giver.

• 57:23Connor Wood?

  I would reread The Giver with you.

• 57:24Brooke Averick?

  Should we?

• 57:25Connor Wood?

  Do you want to?

• 57:25Brooke Averick?

  I'm so stressed about my-

• 57:27Connor Wood?

  I have 20 pages left of your book still.

• 57:28Brooke Averick?

  Damn, that's a slog for you to get through, huh?

• 57:31Connor Wood?

  Okay, so my first thing in TV-

• 57:36Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 57:36Connor Wood?

  Was that Not Suitable For Work got canceled off Hulu. But, did you see that?

• 57:41Brooke Averick?

  I just saw that. That doesn't make sense to me.

• 57:44Connor Wood?

  Well, I was thinking about it on the way, because I saw it this morning. And then you look at the comments on all these posts and it's like, what the heck? Like, why, why is this off of, like Hulu, you mess up so bad. Hulu didn't produce Not Suitable For Work. Like Mindy Kaling produced it with Warner Brothers. So like Hulu was just licensing it. So it's gonna go somewhere else. It's not like canceled. They keep wording it as canceled, but it's fully not canceled.

• 58:07Brooke Averick?

  Oh.

• 58:08Connor Wood?

  No, it had great ratings. Well-

• 58:09Brooke Averick?

  Well, Mindy posted kind of like a goodbye to it.

• 58:13Connor Wood?

  I don't think so.

• 58:14Brooke Averick?

  So I do think-

• 58:15Connor Wood?

  I think they're gonna shop it around. That's my-

• 58:18Brooke Averick?

  I don't know how it works.

• 58:20Connor Wood?

  I think that now it's just, it's been released from Hulu for whatever, because they don't own the rights. But I don't, Warner Brothers, I guess, could go to like Disney. I don't remember who bought who. There's something like that. But I don't think it's over. I, that's my, because it was a great show. People really, people that like Not Suitable For Work, like, were riding and dying for Not Suitable For Work.

• 58:39Brooke Averick?

  No, I still, I haven't watched it yet, but I'm excited too. And I've heard nothing but good things.

• 58:44Connor Wood?

  I have watched one episode and I really liked it.

• 58:47Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 58:47Connor Wood?

  But I like, really liked it because there was skin in the game. Jack's in it.

• 58:50Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 58:50Connor Wood?

  Obviously Will Angus is in it. I was like, good.

• 58:53Brooke Averick?

  I still need to watch. It's really hard for me to watch new TV.

• 58:57Connor Wood?

  Well, it's like so weird. What's being like, picked up and then like that being dropped from Hulu? I'm like, whoa. Interesting choices being made. There must be so much going on behind the scenes because there's so much TV coming out. I have a lot of like things to watch.

• 59:13Brooke Averick?

  What other TV is coming out?

• 59:14Connor Wood?

  I'll tell you. There's a lot. Um, well, one, Roku released an all AI TV channel that's all Banana, Lena and like Zumba Dumba.

• 59:26Brooke Averick?

  Like Libby Lupa?

• 59:27Connor Wood?

  Libby Lupa, who I love, but I can't, I'm not allowed to love. But like, when she comes across my desk, I'm like, this bitch.

• 59:33Brooke Averick?

  It's so hard when it, nah, like I can't, I don't even want to get into it.

• 59:37Connor Wood?

  No, don't, I mean, don't. It's, it's, it's complete and utter slop, like it is.

• 59:41Brooke Averick?

  It's slop.

• 59:42Connor Wood?

  It's disgusting. They created an all AI channel that is all that. Could you imagine sitting there and like, watching that on your TV? Like, that is so, and it's, it's only interrupted by AI ads.

• 59:56Brooke Averick?

  It's crazy.

• 59:57Connor Wood?

  That's genuinely from, what's that movie where they're rolling around on the spaceship in their chairs with the TV in front of them?

• 1:00:06Brooke Averick?

  The movie where they're rolling around on the spaceship? I don't think I've ever seen Wally.

• 1:00:10Connor Wood?

  Wow, I haven't either. Only the meme.

• 1:00:13Brooke Averick?

  How'd you know about that scene?

• 1:00:14Connor Wood?

  Just like when they're roll, like they're, I remember them being on a spaceship and everyone just has this, you're behind it. You're watching something all, you're not really like interacting, you're just watching stuff. It's like slop. They're just like feeding your brain stuff. I'm back to like bringing my phone in the shower, which is really upsetting to me.

• 1:00:28Brooke Averick?

  I can't even talk about what's happening with my phone and like the way it's ruining my life.

• 1:00:33Connor Wood?

  I'm gonna repost that thing of me feeling like wholesome when I go to the movies. Like that, like that being like, ugh.

• 1:00:40Brooke Averick?

  Oh, when I can put my phone down to watch a movie or a show, I'm like, good job, Brooke.

• 1:00:45Connor Wood?

  That's just-

• 1:00:46Brooke Averick?

  Very good job sweetheart. You're doing amazing. I can't do it though.

• 1:00:50Connor Wood?

  Bar's real low.

• 1:00:51Brooke Averick?

  It's so sick. I genuinely, it is such an addiction that I genuinely believe I would benefit from some sort of program. And I'm not kidding. I think I should go away. I think, I like, I don't want to make-

• 1:01:02Connor Wood?

  Do you brick your phone? You do, you have brick.

• 1:01:04Brooke Averick?

  I'm so addicted to my phone that I can't get, like even walk to the fridge to brick it. Or lock it in my box because like I can't-

• 1:01:13Connor Wood?

  Put it in your crack.

• 1:01:15Brooke Averick?

  I could try putting it in my crack, but I did leave it home yesterday, which like I felt.

• 1:01:22Connor Wood?

  Where'd you go?

• 1:01:22Brooke Averick?

  I went to write at a cafe. But like, hi, my iMessage was on my laptop. So like-

• 1:01:28Connor Wood?

  I was gonna say.

• 1:01:29Brooke Averick?

  I was like, it's just, I'm a sick, I'm sick. And like, I, it's really, really getting in the way of like my ability to write.

• 1:01:39Connor Wood?

  I was talking to someone on Friday, well, we were like all chatting at dinner about the iPod and how quickly the iPod, in three years, the iPod became the iPhone. We had the iPod Nano and then there was like shuffle, this, this.

• 1:01:55Brooke Averick?

  What about from like the start of that chunky?

• 1:01:58Connor Wood?

  That big chunk ass. That was a brick.

• 1:02:02Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, but that, how long between Chunker and iPhone was it?

• 1:02:07Connor Wood?

  I think it was like-

• 1:02:07Brooke Averick?

  Like 10 years.

• 1:02:08Connor Wood?

  Was it? Can we look it up? I'm curious. I, I know that it was like-

• 1:02:12Brooke Averick?

  When did the first iPod come out?

• 1:02:13Connor Wood?

  2007, the iPod Touch, or something came out in 2007. Or maybe that was the first iPhone.

• 1:02:18Brooke Averick?

  iPod, yeah. When did the first iPod come out?

• 1:02:23Brooke Averick?

  Okay, first iPod, 2001.

• 1:02:25Connor Wood?

  2001, oh my gosh.

• 1:02:26Brooke Averick?

  When did the iPhone come out?

• 1:02:26Connor Wood?

  November 10th, wow. Not to bring up 9/11 again because they did not like that, but they came out right after 9/11. Okay, so six years, that's really crazy. Cause I remember my dad getting an iPod Touch and I would bring it to school because he wouldn't like use it. He'd just, I don't even know, he would put it on his arm sleeve to work out in, which is really funny to think about. It's huge, like, do you imagine me putting my phone on my arm to go on a run?

• 1:02:52Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, it looks like medical-

• 1:02:53Connor Wood?

  Oh my god, I'd hold it and I'd go on a run. That's worse, okay. But, uh, I would bring it to school and people were like, is that the iPhone? I'm like, yeah.

• 1:03:04Connor Wood?

  Back up.

• 1:03:05Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I like, I'm itching to download Temple Run.

• 1:03:09Connor Wood?

  Good, good times back there. That was good times back there.

• 1:03:12Brooke Averick?

  GTs.

• 1:03:13Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 1:03:13Brooke Averick?

  And I still play 2048.

• 1:03:15Connor Wood?

  I know, I played on the plane a lot.

• 1:03:17Brooke Averick?

  It's really fun.

• 1:03:18Connor Wood?

  Um, okay, more TV because I'm about, I'm gonna pee my pants, I'm about-

• 1:03:21Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 1:03:21Connor Wood?

  I have six minutes, I mean, before I pee my pants.

• 1:03:23Brooke Averick?

  Well, I can talk about, you can go pee and I can talk about the movies that I watched.

• 1:03:26Connor Wood?

  Okay, do that. And then I have a lot of TV stuff.

• 1:03:29Brooke Averick?

  Okay. Um, first movie that I watched was Backrooms. And there was not even like, if, if someone had let me know what it was about before I had watched it, I would have known that there wasn't even a 1% chance of me even starting to think about understanding that. Um, but yeah, I like really, like, that's the perfect example of a film that is just like above my pay grade. Like, I, the ending, I was like, eh, eh, eh, like, what, what? It was very much one of those where I had to Google what was Backrooms.

• 1:04:10Brooke Averick?

  Um, so that was that for me. That was that experience. And, yeah, I think, I guess that's kind of all I have to say on, on Backrooms. I really didn't get it, um, but no one is surprised by that. Now, I also saw Don't Say Good Luck on Netflix, which is the Sonny Sandler movie. And I have not cried that much in a really, really long time. Like, that felt really, really, really good to cry. It is such a good movie, classic, coming of age.

• 1:04:47Brooke Averick?

  Feel good is not the right word, but just like in your, in your feelings. And they are putting on a school play and they're putting on Waitress. And to me, that was, that was really amazing. And I, I loved that. And if we have similar tastes, then I think that you'll like that as well. What else did I watch? That's actually all I watched. Um, but thank you for listening and I'm also reading this book called Fruit Fly, which is like the book of August and you can't buy it anywhere. It's completely sold out everywhere. I had to get it on my Kindle. Um, and it's a British book about this author who has really bad writer's block.

• 1:05:29Brooke Averick?

  And she Googled how to write a bestseller and basically it was like, you need to go gay and sad. Um, so she downloads Grindr, of course, to get like kind of method with it. And she finds this guy whose life is pretty gay and, and pretty sad. And basically like begins to exploit it. Um, it's really interesting. I'm not sure where it's going. It's one of those books where you know, like, something's amiss. Like, there's something more than meets the eye here, but you're kind of waiting for the twist. And I'm not like sure what it's gonna be. But it's also so British that I kind of like, um, it's almost another language entirely.

• 1:06:14Brooke Averick?

  But I'm enjoying it and I'll let you know how it goes. I'm 60% through. Everyone that I follow and trust has given it five stars. I would say I'm at a solid four right now, depending on, on how it's gonna end, which is good because I've been in, in kind of a reading slump, so I have high hopes for Fruit Fly.

• 1:06:36Connor Wood?

  Yay.

• 1:06:36Brooke Averick?

  Yay.

• 1:06:37Connor Wood?

  Oh, I heard about that.

• 1:06:39Brooke Averick?

  Did you?

• 1:06:39Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 1:06:40Brooke Averick?

  How? Through my story?

• 1:06:41Connor Wood?

  No, um, I like saw something, like a TikTok or something about him writing it, about the woman that stalks the guy.

• 1:06:49Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 1:06:50Connor Wood?

  Yeah, really, it seems really interesting. It seems depressing.

• 1:06:53Brooke Averick?

  I, I, I can't-

• 1:06:55Connor Wood?

  Have you started it?

• 1:06:56Brooke Averick?

  I'm 60% through.

• 1:06:57Connor Wood?

  Wow, don't tell me anything. I don't know if I'm gonna read it.

• 1:07:00Brooke Averick?

  It is depressing, but like, it kind of depends on how it's gonna end. Like, I really, you're gonna read it?

• 1:07:04Connor Wood?

  I don't know, I haven't decided, but don't tell me because I might.

• 1:07:06Brooke Averick?

  I don't know anything, really, but it's, it's definitely intriguing. That's what I'll say about that.

• 1:07:12Connor Wood?

  Well, cool, I'll look into it. I have a couple more things.

• 1:07:14Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 1:07:15Connor Wood?

  One, The Gentleman, season two comes out on September 3rd. That's one of my favorite shows. It's been one of my favorite shows, very outspoken. Meghan Markle was cast.

• 1:07:26Brooke Averick?

  Didn't they move back to England?

• 1:07:28Connor Wood?

  They're moving back?

• 1:07:31Connor Wood?

  I'm like, I'm like, I was never like in, like subscribed to their news and whatever happened with them here or there. I do know that they got like, they had the huge podcast deal and I was like, that's not fair. That's like, everyone's gonna listen to that. And then like, they did one episode and then I think it fell through and then they had the Netflix show and they were like exposing everything and then like, I don't even know what happened with that. But then she was cast in The Gentleman, season two, and I was like, oh, that's like interesting. The, the out roar from the UK was so overwhelming, they dropped her from the cast.

• 1:08:08Brooke Averick?

  Why have I not seen anything about this?

• 1:08:11Connor Wood?

  Let me, let me read the thing. So I did, Meghan Markle dropped from Gentleman. It's like a Guy Ritchie TV show. It's a big, it's obviously a big one. No longer under consideration for, I think she got the role.

• 1:08:26Brooke Averick?

  She was under consideration.

• 1:08:27Connor Wood?

  She got the role.

• 1:08:28Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 1:08:29Connor Wood?

  News broke that Meghan was in early or advanced discussions to join the third season of Guy Ritchie's Netflix, it's second. Okay, this is like a dumb ass like review. Okay.

• 1:08:41Connor Wood?

  According to blah, blah. Okay.

• 1:08:44Brooke Averick?

  Do you feel like this could be fake news?

• 1:08:45Connor Wood?

  Was set to appear, no.

• 1:08:47Brooke Averick?

  Was set to appear?

• 1:08:48Connor Wood?

  In the series, the gentleman, but the casting was withdrawn. The backlash from the UK was so intense, it became untenable to go forward. This has not bode well for Meghan's acting. Come back in the UK, more to come.

• 1:08:59Brooke Averick?

  Damn.

• 1:09:00Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 1:09:01Brooke Averick?

  Is The Gentleman a UK-based show?

• 1:09:03Connor Wood?

  It's very British, so it must be, but Guy Ritchie, is Guy Ritchie British?

• 1:09:07Brooke Averick?

  I have never heard of Guy Ritchie.

• 1:09:09Connor Wood?

  The role would have marked Markle's most significant acting project since leaving suits in 2018.

• 1:09:17Connor Wood?

  I mean, it's huge. I, I like don't obviously know a single other person act like that's watching the show, but I am pushing it so hard on everybody.

• 1:09:24Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 1:09:24Connor Wood?

  Just because like I love the rich people TV shows where they're doing rich people stuff and they're doing, they're shooting skeet in their front yard and they all drive Range Rovers. The little clay disc-

• 1:09:33Brooke Averick?

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:09:33Connor Wood?

  Clay pigeons. You go, pull, they throw them, I'm pretty good at shooting skeet.

• 1:09:40Brooke Averick?

  I didn't know you shot skeet.

• 1:09:41Connor Wood?

  Yeah, short barrel shotgun.

• 1:09:43Brooke Averick?

  Oh, cool.

• 1:09:43Connor Wood?

  Yep.

• 1:09:44Brooke Averick?

  With a gun in my purse.

• 1:09:46Connor Wood?

  Couple things. One, you might, your, yours might perk up right here.

• 1:09:48Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 1:09:51Connor Wood?

  Julie Louis-Dreyfus.

• 1:09:52Brooke Averick?

  I know.

• 1:09:53Connor Wood?

  And Joe Keery are performing. Other desert cities coming very soon. Um, Broadway?

• 1:10:04Brooke Averick?

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:10:05Connor Wood?

  How fabulous is that?

• 1:10:06Brooke Averick?

  I don't know if it's on or off.

• 1:10:07Connor Wood?

  I think it's on.

• 1:10:08Brooke Averick?

  I think it's on.

• 1:10:08Connor Wood?

  It's too big to-

• 1:10:09Brooke Averick?

  You know, I've never, the only play I've ever seen is Oh, Mary. Like, I don't like plays. I like musicals, so, but I'm, I'm definitely willing to, to give it a shot.

• 1:10:18Connor Wood?

  I wanna go see it.

• 1:10:19Brooke Averick?

  For sure, in the name of, in the name of art and theater.

• 1:10:21Connor Wood?

  If you will go, I wanna go see it.

• 1:10:22Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, of course. I'll be in New York for a, a chunk in October.

• 1:10:27Connor Wood?

  Me too. Wonderful. Um, two quick things. These are things that I want to be in the main because they're gonna be developing. So I just want like to, one conversation I wanted to have with you. You watched Five Star Weekend.

• 1:10:39Brooke Averick?

  I watched half of it.

• 1:10:40Connor Wood?

  And it was so, it was deplorable.

• 1:10:42Brooke Averick?

  I couldn't, I couldn't get through it.

• 1:10:44Connor Wood?

  So the-

• 1:10:44Brooke Averick?

  To me.

• 1:10:45Connor Wood?

  I've seen all these billboards. I'm like, they're still advertising this? Cause there's a new one called Spa Weekend and it is four or five women.

• 1:10:54Connor Wood?

  Okay, so, so hang on, and they're all very-

• 1:10:56Brooke Averick?

  Spa Weekend's a movie.

• 1:10:57Connor Wood?

  Okay, so Five Star Weekend was a-

• 1:10:59Brooke Averick?

  Was a limited series, yeah.

• 1:11:02Connor Wood?

  That had Jennifer Garner, Chloe Savigna, Savigna, I don't know how to say, um, Jimmy Chan, Regina Hall, Judy Greer, okay, and then, and Darcy Carden. And Spa Weekend, and this seems like cast. Seems like the one that I would like out of, not to put them against each other, but they're so similarly, Leslie Mann, Isla Fisher, Anna Faris, and Michelle Bateau.

• 1:11:27Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 1:11:27Connor Wood?

  Like, that's-

• 1:11:28Brooke Averick?

  I think that's more comedy.

• 1:11:29Connor Wood?

  That sounds so, was the five star weekend was not comedy?

• 1:11:31Brooke Averick?

  No.

• 1:11:32Connor Wood?

  Oh, okay, never mind. Whatever. I thought that they were like, oh, you guys, you guys wanna do comedy? We're back.

• 1:11:37Brooke Averick?

  No, no, no.

• 1:11:37Connor Wood?

  Okay, the next one.

• 1:11:40Connor Wood?

  This is not a show, but I'm gonna, I'm gonna sit down with this one for a little bit and throw a little one cheater over to the team. Did you see, there's a fraternity that just got turned in because part of their hazing process for Rush pledging was they were having them sell cocaine?

• 1:12:00Brooke Averick?

  No, I didn't see that.

• 1:12:04Connor Wood?

  Can we type in, I don't, let's see what they're calling it. They're calling it like pledge cabar? What's it, what's it called? Let me see. Pablo Escobar fraternities. Can I just read? I just want to read really, it's Penn State. Inside the Penn State frat house drug ring, cocaine and molly fueled parties, secret dealing rooms and brutal hazing. So they were like, there was like 12 dudes that were like fully running a drug ring as part of their process. Thirteen members of Sigma Chi and Delta Epsilon fraternities were arrested last week over alleged wide scale dealing and distribution of drugs by federal authorities. Brooke, would you not watch this? I would sit down and watch this whole thing. This is fabulous.

• 1:12:46Brooke Averick?

  I know. It's fabulous TV and it's so crazy to me that it's like, but it is real life. Like that there are 12 people willing to engage in this.

• 1:12:53Connor Wood?

  Will you scroll up a little bit?

• 1:12:55Brooke Averick?

  You just never know what's going on.

• 1:12:57Connor Wood?

  Will you scroll up to that paragraph above?

• 1:12:58Brooke Averick?

  Below your nose.

• 1:12:59Connor Wood?

  However, those who studied with him said cocaine and cocaine use and MDMA fueled end of semester parties were well known at the $21,000 a year school where the fall semester started Monday. It's not a Penn State frat without Fight Song remix into the most random song. Okay. Kind of.

• 1:13:15Brooke Averick?

  Which one's MDMA?

• 1:13:16Connor Wood?

  Molly.

• 1:13:18Brooke Averick?

  Be careful everyone. If you're on an SSRI.

• 1:13:20Connor Wood?

  You might get serotonin.

• 1:13:21Brooke Averick?

  You might get serotonin syndrome.

• 1:13:23Connor Wood?

  It barely scratches the surface of what's going on. It's part of the culture at Penn State. It was normal to take cocaine at these parties, especially with freshman boys who wanted to impress their brothers and talk to girls. Oh, no one, no one loves chatting more to a young man than a freshman girl talking to a freshman guy that's high off coke. I bet that's an amazing experience. To me, it felt like they were offering it to everyone at the party. You'd look around and there would be people snorting lines of cocaine around you. It was so normalized. I need to watch this show.

• 1:13:50Brooke Averick?

  If I saw anyone snorting cocaine in college, I would have flown home.

• 1:13:55Connor Wood?

  Google, like how much to overdose.

• 1:13:58Brooke Averick?

  I would have like been beside myself horrified.

• 1:14:01Connor Wood?

  Students pledging in 2023 were made to package the drugs into half gram bags for sale, according to court documents. One of the young men forced to take part had a relative who graduated but was part of Sigma Chi, the post has learned. Just, just fabulous television that's happening here right before us. And it was in real, like based on true stories? Do you not get chills when it's like based on true events?

• 1:14:23Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I do.

• 1:14:24Connor Wood?

  Fabulous. Well, watch this, watch this space. And that's kind of all I have that I wanted to fit in here. And some of it was kind of a nothing burger, but what are you gonna do? I do, oh, there's one really good one. Brothers on Apple TV with Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey. That's coming out pretty soon, which is just like, that's really great. So I don't know what's gonna happen, but super fun.

• 1:14:47Brooke Averick?

  Fall never arrives all at once. Burst the air, then the light. And slowly the things you love begin to find each other. A jacket meets a dress, a hoodie slips beneath a blazer, an old cap finds a new scarf. Because you don't simply step into the season, you create it layer by layer, until it finally feels like fall. Find fall your way at Ross.
