  Try one.

• 0:48Speaker 03

  Mmm.

• 0:52Speaker 04

  King's Hawaiian Cinnamon Bites. There's nothing like it.

• 1:07Connor Wood?

  If you catch me really working towards a clip in this episode, please, like, don't worry. I need one. And I know I-

• 1:14Brooke Averick?

  I hate when you work towards clips.

• 1:16Connor Wood?

  I need a clip. I need a clip. I've written, I have so much shit for today. It's all talkable. I just want to go back and forth with it. But if you see me doing that, like, know that I'm aware.

• 1:44Connor Wood?

  One. Hello, Brooke. How are you?

• 1:47Brooke Averick?

  Hi, Chungy. Hi, my Chung.

• 1:48Connor Wood?

  Hey, Chungo.

• 1:51Connor Wood?

  Chungus and Chungo. If you're in a gendered speaking language world.

• 1:57Brooke Averick?

  Chung and Chungget.

• 1:59Connor Wood?

  Chung and Chungget for here. Um, Chungus.

• 2:04Connor Wood?

  Chungo, if you were like an ah, oh.

• 2:06Brooke Averick?

  Chungus and Chungarella.

• 2:08Connor Wood?

  Huh?

• 2:09Brooke Averick?

  I said Chungus and Chungarella.

• 2:11Connor Wood?

  Chungus and Chungarella. I'll, I'll see you in, um, at midnight, Chungarella.

• 2:16Brooke Averick?

  I can't stop. It's so horrible.

• 2:18Connor Wood?

  I know. I've actually, I've seen it from afar. It's, it's special.

• 2:21Brooke Averick?

  It's really not good.

• 2:23Connor Wood?

  I already did like.

• 2:24Brooke Averick?

  You went through your Chungus.

• 2:26Connor Wood?

  Yeah, F A C life.

• 2:27Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. No, my Chungus hit me over the weekend.

• 2:31Connor Wood?

  You were like a, a late onset Chungus.

• 2:33Brooke Averick?

  I have late onset Chungus.

• 2:35Connor Wood?

  Oof.

• 2:36Brooke Averick?

  And now I can't stop. And at Friendsgiving, we were playing Quiblash and obviously every answer was something Chungus. And then we had to outlaw Chungus for the next round and no one could say anything. Cause there's nothing to say when you can't say Chungus.

• 2:50Connor Wood?

  What? What, what do you say?

• 2:52Brooke Averick?

  What could you possibly say if not Chungus? There's nothing to say.

• 2:56Connor Wood?

  What did people, stupid dumbass?

• 2:59Brooke Averick?

  What was life before Chungus?

• 3:01Connor Wood?

  What?

• 3:02Brooke Averick?

  What was life before fucking my Chungus life?

• 3:04Connor Wood?

  Well, we'll know next week because it will have moved on completely.

• 3:07Brooke Averick?

  I will never, I will not be moving on from, from my Chungus life anytime soon. How did it start?

• 3:14Connor Wood?

  Chungus, we went, oh, oh, wait, you were gone the week of Chungus. It was Maggie was here.

• 3:19Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 3:20Connor Wood?

  That was the Chungus and we looked it up. The Chungus is Bugs Bunny. Yeah.

• 3:26Brooke Averick?

  But how did fuck my Chungus life start?

• 3:28Connor Wood?

  Chungus, I think Chungus was just like a brain rot thing, six, seven type shit. And then it took a life of its own with the Bugs Bunny.

• 3:35Brooke Averick?

  Who did it? Like just, we just took one person to say fuck my Chungus life and then we were all fucking our Chungus lives?

• 3:43Connor Wood?

  When you know, you know.

• 3:44Brooke Averick?

  When you know, you know.

• 3:46Connor Wood?

  If something's rolling off your tongue in that kind of way, you're gonna, you're gonna pick it up and put it in your lexicon.

• 3:53Brooke Averick?

  Totally.

• 3:56Brooke Averick?

  We're references big Chungus, variations of it trended on Twitter and X in 2024. Nice. Cool. How cool.

• 4:05Connor Wood?

  We're just like, as usual, gonna be about a year behind on these things that people that were funny and they've moved on from.

• 4:10Brooke Averick?

  It is so funny.

• 4:11Connor Wood?

  I was thinking about this morning, I was talking about crashing out and I was like, the way that crashing out now is just like, oh, it's crashing out. And but do you remember the episode when we were like, walk me through what you think crashing out could be? Like, there was a time recently when we were like, learning about crashing out.

• 4:26Brooke Averick?

  Right, that's very true. And now it's just part of the lexicon. And like, it's kind of annoying when some people say it. So obviously Chungus will get annoying too at some point.

• 4:36Brooke Averick?

  When someone annoying says it, but for now, I'm like so disgustingly obesely Chungus.

• 4:44Connor Wood?

  You're Chunged out.

• 4:45Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 4:47Connor Wood?

  You're Chunged out. Chunged out, Chunged out.

• 4:49Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 4:49Connor Wood?

  Okay, I have to say something that just happened to me this morning.

• 4:52Brooke Averick?

  You may.

• 4:53Connor Wood?

  So I'm walking down the street. And I'm having my coffee. And I hear a voice from behind me. And I'm like, I know that voice. I've known this voice for years. This is someone I've known for years.

• 5:10Connor Wood?

  And then I was like, I'm not in a place where I can stop and talk. I was coming back.

• 5:16Connor Wood?

  Cause we were recording and I had a smoothie and I had a coffee. So like, it was imperative that I got home quickly.

• 5:20Brooke Averick?

  Yes.

• 5:21Connor Wood?

  And I was like, this is not like a talking experience. If this is someone that I that I can't place, it's not like a close friend, but it's like, it's close enough where I recognize just their voice and I'm walking and we are block, block, block. And I'm like, I need to turn around and see who this is.

• 5:35Brooke Averick?

  Wait, but they didn't say Connor?

• 5:37Connor Wood?

  No.

• 5:38Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I thought you were, okay, this person's on the phone.

• 5:41Connor Wood?

  This person's on the phone. They're walking, close enough behind me where I can hear the conversation. And finally I turn and I'm like, I'm gonna turn. And get a good look. And I turn. And I'm face to face with Audrey Plaza. She turned too. And right before I had, I had seen her. I was wearing a beanie like all this morning, cause it's cold. And I had taken the beanie off because you know what I look like in a beanie? I look like the, I look like a Smurf.

• 6:14Brooke Averick?

  Right.

• 6:14Connor Wood?

  Smurfette. So I had taken the beanie off like 10 minutes prior.

• 6:21Connor Wood?

  And I was thinking like, oh, it's so cool that she didn't see me in the beanie. She saw me like with my natural.

• 6:26Brooke Averick?

  Flow state.

• 6:27Connor Wood?

  Rom com, middle part.

• 6:29Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 6:29Connor Wood?

  Lowy back of my hair.

• 6:32Connor Wood?

  Send you a picture of what I look like.

• 6:36Brooke Averick?

  Did you have hat, hat hair?

• 6:39Connor Wood?

  Brooke? I thought I had the middle part of a nineties heartthrob. I look like the Long Island medium.

• 6:48Brooke Averick?

  Oh, that's, yeah, I see what you're saying. It's you. Yeah. Bangs are hard. Hey, listen, bangs are hard.

• 6:56Connor Wood?

  Plastered down in the front.

• 6:57Brooke Averick?

  Bangs are hard. If I've learned one thing.

• 7:00Connor Wood?

  Absolutely. On my way to pick up my kids. Get in the Tahoe, honey. We have, we have soccer practice shortly.

• 7:07Brooke Averick?

  Bangs are hard.

• 7:09Connor Wood?

  That is.

• 7:09Brooke Averick?

  We're all learning how to navigate them.

• 7:11Connor Wood?

  When that happened and obviously like you don't have a, a New York winter coat. So I'm kind of just like wearing everything that I, the way I dress right now in the mornings in New York is.

• 7:19Brooke Averick?

  What's the temperature?

• 7:21Connor Wood?

  I don't want to say, cause it's like not cold enough for me to be acting like this.

• 7:25Brooke Averick?

  It is when you grew up in Texas and California.

• 7:28Connor Wood?

  Um, I think it's 42.

• 7:30Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, that's cold.

• 7:32Connor Wood?

  I'm, I'm dressing right now, the way you dress when you're going skiing or something and then you weigh your bag and it's over 50 pounds.

• 7:40Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 7:40Connor Wood?

  At security and you have to just start putting on whatever's accessible and the heaviest stuff. So I kind of have layer after layer after layer. And that experience with Audrey Plaza this morning like had me thinking about. Aubrey?

• 7:53Brooke Averick?

  Yes.

• 7:53Connor Wood?

  What did I say?

• 7:54Brooke Averick?

  Audrey.

• 7:55Connor Wood?

  Glad I didn't say, hey, Audrey, huge fan.

• 7:57Brooke Averick?

  You're what?

• 7:59Connor Wood?

  I'm glad I didn't say, hey, Audrey, I'm a huge fan, massive.

• 8:02Brooke Averick?

  Glad you didn't either.

• 8:03Connor Wood?

  I'm a huge fucking Chungus fan of your work, babe.

• 8:06Brooke Averick?

  Hi Audrey, I'm the most Chungus fan.

• 8:09Connor Wood?

  You're most Chungus. Hi Chung. Hi Chungarella.

• 8:13Brooke Averick?

  Oh my God, Audrey, it's me.

• 8:17Connor Wood?

  You're Chungus fan.

• 8:18Brooke Averick?

  He was Chungus fan.

• 8:19Connor Wood?

  No, it like this morning, I literally had something pop in my head. I don't know if, I don't know if you heard this much because, because of Jewish, but I, there was something that always used to be said in Texas. And maybe just the South, always dress, dress every day like you're going to meet Jesus today.

• 8:38Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I thought you were going to say dress for the job you want, not the job you have. And I was going to say Jews have heard that too.

• 8:46Connor Wood?

  No.

• 8:47Brooke Averick?

  No, I don't know about dressing to meet Jesus. That's amazing.

• 8:51Connor Wood?

  Yeah, and.

• 8:52Brooke Averick?

  Although I don't think he'd care.

• 8:54Connor Wood?

  No, and then that was, so then I started thinking about that term. It's like, you think Jesus, if I showed up in like,

• 9:02Connor Wood?

  of, of, of my best skims?

• 9:05Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, because what was Jesus wearing?

• 9:07Connor Wood?

  Jesus was wearing a robe.

• 9:09Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 9:10Connor Wood?

  So, yeah, I mean, that's the whole thing is like, Jesus wouldn't care what you were wearing.

• 9:14Brooke Averick?

  Agreed.

• 9:15Connor Wood?

  They wanted us to present ourselves nicely as if we were gonna walk outside and die, which I guess I get, but you don't take your clothes with you to have on.

• 9:26Brooke Averick?

  Well, we don't know.

• 9:27Connor Wood?

  You might take only the outfit that you're wearing.

• 9:29Brooke Averick?

  We don't know. That's the thing. Like, maybe the outfit you die in is, is your outfit, like, the way that cartoons have the same outfit in every single episode of every show. Maybe that's our.

• 9:38Connor Wood?

  Oh, my, bro. You have, that's like new OCD thing. That's awesome. Thank you.

• 9:43Brooke Averick?

  What do you mean? Like, you're gonna be thinking about that a lot?

• 9:45Connor Wood?

  Every day when I wake up, I'm gonna be like, what I wanna wear, do I wanna wear this for eternity?

• 9:48Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 9:50Brooke Averick?

  It's just a thought.

• 9:51Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I know. And I, I've moved past things like that little part in the front of my sock that like is bulbous, and I used to have to cut them out, or else I couldn't go to school. You know, at the toe, when you put your shoe on and it pokes your toe. Not in a sharp way, just like on a way that you're very aware of.

• 10:07Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 10:08Connor Wood?

  I'm gonna have to cut that out before I die.

• 10:11Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, dress every day like you're going to be your little Lizzie McGuire cartoon.

• 10:18Connor Wood?

  Dress every day, yeah, like, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna head upstairs and meet Jesus. Well, the cartoon thing is funny. I saw something the other day. You know how I said the other day, like, I'm getting belly button lint?

• 10:32Connor Wood?

  Like, all of these things are cartoon-esque?

• 10:35Brooke Averick?

  Sure.

• 10:36Connor Wood?

  Someone posted the other day and, and said, like, here's all the evidence that I'm living in a cartoon, and they have, they had, they made a note page. I love note pages when people post these.

• 10:43Brooke Averick?

  Yes.

• 10:48Connor Wood?

  Evidence that I'm living in a cartoon. The first one was got a concussion from tripping tripping over my own feet in the house.

• 10:53Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 10:54Connor Wood?

  Tore my rotator cuff, fell in a traffic hole. Went to pick up a pizza at Domino's and the workers were actively eating my pizza. Talking about my bad, I can make another one if you want.

• 11:07Connor Wood?

  Next one, tried to buy five bananas at

• 11:10Connor Wood?

  self-checkout, accidentally bought 50 and tried to return them, but the employee had to individually return them one by one. Broke a bottle of olive oil in the kitchen floor, slipped and fell down while trying to clean it up. And then had to relearn how to manually, like manually relearn how to sleep. I don't really get how that's a cartoon. I get the slipping and falling.

• 11:27Brooke Averick?

  Had to manually relearn how to sleep because of the olive oil?

• 11:32Connor Wood?

  No, I think that was unrelated bullet point.

• 11:34Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 11:37Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 11:37Connor Wood?

  My only thing, my only thing was that I have belly button lint. I thought that that was something like SpongeBob would be like

• 11:44Connor Wood?

  when Sandy had to go into hibernation and he was able to make a fur coat out of her trimmings.

• 11:49Brooke Averick?

  Start your list. I just made a new list.

• 11:52Connor Wood?

  What is it?

• 11:52Brooke Averick?

  It's called things that I've pretended to like that I actually don't. Um.

• 12:00Connor Wood?

  Love this.

• 12:01Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Do you want to hear some of them?

• 12:02Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I want to hear all of them.

• 12:03Brooke Averick?

  It's like, they're, it's like, I will, like, I'm coming out right now. In a way, like, these are, these are things that are precious to a lot of people.

• 12:12Connor Wood?

  I love this. All right.

• 12:13Brooke Averick?

  And these are things that I should like, like just based off of my personality too.

• 12:17Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 12:19Brooke Averick?

  Number one, and like probably the deepest cut, La La Land.

• 12:25Brooke Averick?

  I do not like La La Land.

• 12:28Brooke Averick?

  And I've tried so hard.

• 12:31Brooke Averick?

  At first I thought like, it was just like something wrong with my movie theater going experience because when I saw it in the theater, I was like, I didn't like that, but that's my fault. And so I just kept saying like, oh, I think I had like a bad experience. Like, I'm sure it's like incredible. Saw it again, like probably like a few years ago. And I was like, that's, I still don't care for that.

• 12:50Connor Wood?

  Wow.

• 12:51Brooke Averick?

  That must be my fault. Saw it again this weekend. I don't like it. I just don't like it.

• 12:58Connor Wood?

  I think if you give it three goes, it's really admirable.

• 13:00Brooke Averick?

  I just don't like it. And I think that I struggle in the same way, like 500 days of summer, I also don't like. I think I just don't like romances that aren't rom-coms.

• 13:13Brooke Averick?

  Where they don't end up together. To me, it's like, that's not why I'm not here. Like, I'm not here for that. And that's just me. That's just my taste.

• 13:20Connor Wood?

  You liked 500 Days of Summer.

• 13:22Brooke Averick?

  No, I don't like 500 Days of Summer, which is just crazy, because, and you know, Matthew Gray Gubler's in it and everything like that.

• 13:28Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I do know that.

• 13:30Brooke Averick?

  So, I don't like 500 Days of Summer. You know what else I did? Like, this is like, this movie is fine, but it's, I wouldn't ever like choose to watch it, and I don't like particularly like care for it. But I like it better than the other ones I've said. That was Prada.

• 13:47Connor Wood?

  Why? And what, what's your?

• 13:48Brooke Averick?

  I just don't, I don't know. It just doesn't speak to me.

• 13:52Connor Wood?

  Wow, you're, you're gonna hate the second one.

• 13:54Brooke Averick?

  I probably won't see the second one. I said, I didn't really like the first.

• 13:59Connor Wood?

  You'll see the second one.

• 14:02Brooke Averick?

  Okay, this is where we get like, this is, these are two things I've been pretending to like. This one I've been really pretending to like, like publicly. And that is The Summer I Turned Pretty.

• 14:13Connor Wood?

  Ooh.

• 14:14Brooke Averick?

  I know. I, it's entertaining to a point. But if not everyone was watching The Summer I Turned Pretty, I would have stopped watching after the first episode. I don't really care about it. I like the music. I never connected with Conrad in the way that everybody else did, which is really shocking, I think.

• 14:35Brooke Averick?

  Um, I don't know. I, I don't.

• 14:37Connor Wood?

  You know what's crazy? Like, this is probably.

• 14:38Brooke Averick?

  I don't hate it, but I don't, I don't have the connection to it that everyone else does, and I've just been pretending to.

• 14:43Connor Wood?

  Probably the most uncommon thing that we've ever had, because I haven't seen, I'm, I'm, I'm two for three that I haven't seen. La La Land, haven't seen, Summer I Turned Pretty, haven't watched a single episode.

• 14:54Brooke Averick?

  I've watched every single episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty, and I enjoyed it because it was a collective experience.

• 15:00Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 15:01Brooke Averick?

  I, but I wouldn't have, I don't like it because of its essence. I like it because it's a cultural phenomenon. And if it was, then I wouldn't watch it.

• 15:11Connor Wood?

  There were several of those, usually during COVID.

• 15:13Brooke Averick?

  Another one of those for me is Nobody Wants This.

• 15:16Connor Wood?

  You don't like that?

• 15:17Brooke Averick?

  Same. No, I don't.

• 15:19Connor Wood?

  Just it didn't hit, or you don't like it?

• 15:20Brooke Averick?

  It didn't connect, it did not, it didn't connect with, I didn't connect to it.

• 15:25Connor Wood?

  I liked it, but I didn't connect enough to like, be like, oh, there's a new season coming out or whatever. I just didn't, I didn't subscribe, which is sad.

• 15:33Brooke Averick?

  I watched the first season and I was like, okay. And also, I like the Judaism and it kind of rubbed me the wrong way. But even besides that, I was like-

• 15:41Connor Wood?

  You've said that before.

• 15:42Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I've said that before. But even besides that, I was just like, okay. I do love Adam Brody, but like, I don't know. There's something was not hitting for me. And then I watched the second and didn't even finish it.

• 15:56Brooke Averick?

  I don't know, man. I don't know what to say.

• 15:58Connor Wood?

  Second season?

• 15:59Brooke Averick?

  Yes. I watched like-

• 16:01Connor Wood?

  You're putting a lot of man hours into- You're putting a lot of man hours into these shows that like you didn't even like to start with.

• 16:07Brooke Averick?

  I know, because it's like, I'm like, what's wrong with me? Because I believe, and I've always believed, that when everyone likes something, it's because it's good. Like, that's why I like popular things. It's like, yeah, we all like this because it's good. Like, I don't like people that don't like popular things just for the sake of it. Because like, no, everyone likes this because it's good. So I usually subscribe to that. So it's really hard for me when there's something that everybody likes that I can't get on board with. And it's not, it's just not my taste. I don't know. I need to stop apologizing. It's just like preference, but. And then the last one, which this is something I do like, to an extent, but I do think it's overrated. And that is Fourth Wing.

• 16:53Brooke Averick?

  Which is kind of like-

• 16:54Connor Wood?

  I don't know, I don't-

• 16:55Brooke Averick?

  That's like the big romanticy series. I would say like, that's most people's favorite, even like above Akatar.

• 17:02Connor Wood?

  That I can't even speak to it in any way.

• 17:04Brooke Averick?

  You can't speak to that, but I would say, I think Fourth Wing is just okay. I think the second book is the best, which people don't really like. I thought the third book was so bad that I don't think I'll be continuing with the series. And people are like, Fourth Wing is romanticy, you know?

• 17:19Connor Wood?

  You read three books out of a series and then decided?

• 17:24Brooke Averick?

  Well, the fourth one isn't out, but I don't think I'll be reading it when it does come out.

• 17:27Connor Wood?

  Talk about sunken cost fallacy, Jesus H.

• 17:31Brooke Averick?

  I know, but like- When I was reading the third, I was like, and they're, Connor, they're thick. You know, tiny, tiny text, 600 pages. So it's like, I can't, how much more of that can I, can I do for something that I'm not super passionate about?

• 17:48Connor Wood?

  I wish, I wish you would have done less than you did.

• 17:50Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 17:51Connor Wood?

  That's upsetting to me.

• 17:52Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. But anyway, that is my, my latest list and I'm going to keep adding to it and I feel okay, having shared that and I'm going to get some pushback and you know, I understand it. Um, but that's just, that's just where my heart is.

• 18:07Connor Wood?

  I think a lot of people are gonna like follow suit and be like, I also didn't like La La Land and I've been hiding in the closet.

• 18:11Brooke Averick?

  No, I think La La Land is probably the biggest offender on that list.

• 18:16Brooke Averick?

  And like, I love Emma Stone. I love Ryan Gosling. I love old Hollywood. I love movie musicals. It doesn't make sense.

• 18:26Brooke Averick?

  I love the guys who did the music. Like it's just, even the music in La La Land, I'm like, I don't care.

• 18:33Connor Wood?

  Is it, is it original pieces?

• 18:35Brooke Averick?

  It's original pieces.

• 18:37Connor Wood?

  Eh, I'm not gonna see it.

• 18:40Brooke Averick?

  But yeah, so that's, hey, that's just me.

  Ugh, I hate Mondays.

• 19:16Speaker 02

  King's Hawaiian cinnamon swirl bite?

• 19:17Speaker 01

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

• 19:23Speaker 03

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

• 19:25Speaker 01

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

• 19:29Speaker 03

  Taylor Hansen? Nice.

• 19:31Connor Wood?

  Try one.

• 19:33Speaker 03

  Mmm.

• 19:36Speaker 04

  King's Hawaiian cinnamon bites.

• 19:39Brooke Averick?

  There's nothing like it.

• 19:45Connor Wood?

  That's fine. Also, like, you've been the opposite for a lot of things, too. I had that list of, like, hills you tried to die on and, like, I resurrected you and pulled you to the top of them.

• 19:54Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 19:55Connor Wood?

  And, like, a lot of them, this is just like the opposite end of that. It's like, I actually, I was gonna pass away on this hill and I'm ready to throw in the towel here.

• 20:03Brooke Averick?

  If I-

• 20:04Connor Wood?

  This is just didn't connect.

• 20:05Brooke Averick?

  I'm hoping that my mind will change with Devil Wears Prada, because that's the only one that I haven't seen super recently, that I'm like, maybe at this age, I will connect to it more, but I don't know.

• 20:16Connor Wood?

  That's a good trope of movies, is like, the young professional woman that works at a magazine, or like, whatever fashion label, like, that's gonna be, I feel like that's gonna be, like, gone. Because they can't rewrite, no one, I guess you could work at a magazine still, but it's just not like, it's not like, we gotta go to print in three days, what are we gonna write about? Everyone-

• 20:37Brooke Averick?

  You know what? I think my heart just doesn't connect to that type of storyline, because I've just never been someone to, like, prioritize hustle.

• 20:48Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 20:48Brooke Averick?

  And work over, like, I don't know, anything. Which, like, I'm not saying is a good thing, that's just how, what, unfortunately, how the, my cookie's crumbled.

• 20:57Connor Wood?

  Why are you beating yourself up over not relating to something?

• 20:59Brooke Averick?

  I do, it doesn't feel comfortable for me not to like things that people like.

• 21:04Connor Wood?

  Yeah. I like, can't, I don't even know how to wrap my house, my house.

• 21:08Brooke Averick?

  I don't know how to wrap my house around this.

• 21:10Connor Wood?

  I don't know how to wrap my house around this one. This, so,

• 21:16Connor Wood?

  what is, what is the show with the dragons in it?

• 21:19Brooke Averick?

  The book, Fourth Wing?

• 21:21Connor Wood?

  No, the show.

• 21:23Brooke Averick?

  The show with the dragons?

• 21:24Connor Wood?

  Book.

• 21:25Brooke Averick?

  Game of Thrones?

• 21:26Connor Wood?

  Yes. Game of Thrones, like, I do not-

• 21:33Connor Wood?

  Do not give one little, like an ounce, like a droplet. I don't have a, I don't have, nothing, nothing in me is interested in that.

• 21:43Brooke Averick?

  I do want to watch that.

• 21:44Connor Wood?

  I have tried several times on planes and in the first scene, it's a threesome with like several women on top of.

• 21:51Brooke Averick?

  Doesn't tickle, doesn't tickle your pickle?

• 21:53Connor Wood?

  The young man. No, um, I just like you, it's, it's, I don't know. And then like, I'm happy for people. I'm genuinely, even like with Wicked right now. I really kind of, like, I think it's good. I'm not like a huge fan. Um, I'm happy that so many people get this collective experience where one, they, they, I like, I'm happy when a huge group of people is so busy with each other and they find this community. Like, that makes me happy for them.

• 22:19Brooke Averick?

  I agree. I love people loving stuff. I truly do, which I think is why I struggle with not liking things that most people love. Cause I want to, I want to deeply. I want to deeply to the point where I will just pretend most of the time. But I'm, I just, yeah, I had to come out.

• 22:40Connor Wood?

  I don't, I don't have the pretending in me. I'm just like, you guys go to movie night or whatever it is that you guys are doing and, and get back to me when you're done.

• 22:47Brooke Averick?

  So you're not going to see Wicked part two?

• 22:50Connor Wood?

  I probably will, just to be, like, to be able to have something to talk about with you on the podcast.

• 22:55Brooke Averick?

  I, I mean, I might, I do have to dive into it today, though.

• 22:59Connor Wood?

  Oh, well then, yeah.

• 23:00Brooke Averick?

  So you might not even need to see it. Cause I have to go, I have to do it today.

• 23:05Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 23:05Brooke Averick?

  Before I burst.

• 23:06Connor Wood?

  No worries. You can absolutely.

• 23:08Brooke Averick?

  Okay, thanks, Chan.

• 23:09Connor Wood?

  Do it today if you want to.

• 23:10Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I do. Well, it's more like I do need to.

• 23:13Connor Wood?

  Why don't you do it now? Cause we're here.

• 23:14Brooke Averick?

  You want me to do it now?

• 23:16Connor Wood?

  I mean, I'm not going to have much to contribute. If you want to do it at the end, we could do it at the end, too.

• 23:21Brooke Averick?

  Well, here's actually the thing, Connor, because I don't have much to contribute as well. And here's why.

• 23:26Brooke Averick?

  I saw Wicked for good on, on Monday night. And the reason I don't, will not have much to contribute right now is because there has not been a language created that has the words that I need to describe the way I feel about what I saw. What's this, I can't speak to the experience with the words that I have access to in English.

• 23:52Brooke Averick?

  It was so beyond language.

• 23:56Brooke Averick?

  It was transcendent?

• 23:59Brooke Averick?

  In a, in a medical way. Does that make sense? I almost died.

• 24:05Brooke Averick?

  I almost died in the theater during As Long As Your Mind, which I knew I was going to. I knew that was gonna happen. I told you that was gonna happen. That's the number with Elphaba and Fierro, okay? Cynthia and Jonathan Bailey. I knew that I was gonna die and I was prepared to it. But also, in a way, you're never prepared for, for when you're gonna die, as much as you think you are.

• 24:24Connor Wood?

  You gotta dress like you're about to meet Jesus.

• 24:26Brooke Averick?

  I was dressed like I was gonna meet Jesus, cuz I knew. I knew it was coming. But as much as you guys know that you're gonna die during As Long As Your Mind, you still, you just can't prepare for it. I'm sorry to say. You are just gonna have to go into it and just be open to death taking you.

• 24:44Brooke Averick?

  Thanks. I did die. Came back to life in time for No Good Deed, passed away again. So... I, I, it was freaking incredible

• 24:59Brooke Averick?

  in a way that has never been done.

• 25:04Brooke Averick?

  These women, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, like, they're done. Like, they have, their legacy is set in stone. They have done something so perfect, they don't have to work again a day in their lives. They're done. They're done.

• 25:23Connor Wood?

  Legacy and a hundred million dollars will really do it for you.

• 25:27Brooke Averick?

  Jonathan Bailey...

• 25:31Brooke Averick?

  It's really true that his looks are the least interesting thing about him. And that's crazy because they're so insane. But his acting, the way, the depth and dimension that he brings to Fierro, that, I'm sorry, it didn't exist in the stage production, what he has done. Like, I just, you guys just need to see it. I don't have, I wish I had the language, especially cuz this is a podcast. So I do wish I had the language. I don't.

• 25:55Connor Wood?

  I don't, I don't have the language to describe it. 1,500-word essay. I wish I had the words. I wish I had the words.

• 26:02Brooke Averick?

  I do, I wish I had the words. He, I mean, I didn't even know that, that Fierro was, was capable of this until Jonathan Bailey showed me.

• 26:14Brooke Averick?

  Wow, just wow. I just can't wait for everyone to see it. Um, it's just, it's beyond. And I think part two of the stage production, act two, I always leave with questions. I'm like, wait, that's kind of inconsistent with the Wizard of Oz. Like, wait, does Glinda know that Elphaba is still alive? Like, I have all these questions when I leave the theater. I had no questions when I left the movie theater. They wrapped everything up so perfectly. Everything that they added as an addition that wasn't in the stage production added value. Um, there were two new songs, Connor, that don't exist in the stage production. One for Glinda and one for Elphaba. The one that Ariana sang was just absolutely incredible

• 26:59Brooke Averick?

  and added so much to Glinda's growth and storyline. And I thought that it was just like beyond a perfect addition. Elphaba's, I don't, it was like, pretty, but I don't think that it was necessary. I'm curious to see what everyone else thinks. Um, the last thing I'll say is because I was having a medical situation during the film and was like transcending out of my body in a way where I was meeting Jesus, um, Nessa, you know, Nessa, she was having a conversation with one of the munchkins and she was like, hey, Averick. And then I was like, okay, like, obviously I'm like tweaking to see the medical. No, she was talking to someone named Averick. There's a munchkin named Averick.

• 27:44Connor Wood?

  I don't, is that like a first name at all?

• 27:46Brooke Averick?

  It's not even a last name, except for my lineage, my line.

• 27:50Connor Wood?

  Did you look into it?

• 27:51Brooke Averick?

  I don't know any other Averick. Yeah, I looked into it. There's a munchkin named Averick. 150%.

• 27:57Connor Wood?

  That's interesting.

• 27:58Brooke Averick?

  So everyone, like, when you go see Wicked, like, that's my brother.

• 28:02Connor Wood?

  That's your namesake. That's your legacy. You're in the legacy.

• 28:05Brooke Averick?

  I literally, I truly was like, oh, like, I'm, I'm meeting Jesus right now as they're communicating to me through the film. But no, they, that, they did, there is a character named Averick and he's a munchkin. And that's amazing.

• 28:19Connor Wood?

  That is amazing.

• 28:20Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 28:21Connor Wood?

  Can I ask, the munchkins, who are they? I can't picture them.

• 28:26Brooke Averick?

  Like Ethan Slater's character, Bach, is a munchkin. Most of them, I feel like, are ginger and they're just like kind of tiny.

• 28:34Connor Wood?

  Is that not problematic at all?

• 28:35Brooke Averick?

  Well, in the original Wizard of Oz, I think there was a mixture of like children and little people.

• 28:44Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 28:45Brooke Averick?

  But now in, which like I feel like they would not do now, especially because there's a big difference between those two demographics. Like they're not the same thing. Um, but now I think it's just like, they just like kind of wear the same outfit. Like they're just like in munchkin clothes.

• 29:05Connor Wood?

  Oh, they're munchkin.

• 29:06Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, they're just in munchkin clothes. Um, yeah. More so identifiable by their clothes and hair.

• 29:13Connor Wood?

  I see. Oh, okay. I see.

• 29:15Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. They live in munchkin land.

• 29:17Connor Wood?

  Munchkin, I was not familiar with their game.

• 29:20Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 29:21Connor Wood?

  Well, that's awesome. That sounded like a really wholesome 360. Oh, and there's going to be one more just speechless.

• 29:27Brooke Averick?

  I have one more thing to say. This isn't, no, I'm not speechless for this. I have something, I have words. There's a moment in As Long As Your Mind, which I think, but I'm not positive, also exists in the stage production. Cause I think I might've had this thought before, but I'm not positive. Where Jonathan Bailey, Fiero, says to Elphaba, you're beautiful. And then Elphaba says, you don't have to lie. And then he says, I'm not lying. I'm just looking at things in a different way. And because it's Jonathan Bailey saying that, it's like, that's beautiful. That being said.

• 30:03Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 30:05Brooke Averick?

  I was in a situation where a man said to me, you're beautiful. And I said, you don't have to lie. And he said, I'm not lying. I'm just looking at things in a different way. Oh, murder suicide. Does that make sense?

• 30:20Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 30:21Brooke Averick?

  Like that's not, that's not something I love. That's not something I want, I would want you to say. It's totally great when Jonathan says it as Fiero to Elphaba. It's beautiful and amazing. Someone ever said that to me? On sight.

• 30:38Connor Wood?

  You're so funny for a girl. Wow.

• 30:41Brooke Averick?

  It's looking at things in a different way. Oh, thanks. Oh, thanks, Chungus.

• 30:47Connor Wood?

  That's like, you take the glasses off.

• 30:49Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 30:50Connor Wood?

  And it's like, oh, I'd never considered that you'd be hot under these glasses.

• 30:54Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 30:55Connor Wood?

  This changes everything.

• 30:56Brooke Averick?

  Just flagging if my future boyfriend is watching this and, and you tell me I'm beautiful and I say you don't have to lie and you say that you're just, you're not lying, you're looking at things in a different way. Like, it's over for both of us.

• 31:11Brooke Averick?

  So.

• 31:12Connor Wood?

  Those are your last words, badly, Chango.

• 31:15Brooke Averick?

  Say your last words, Chungie, you're about to meet Jesus.

• 31:18Connor Wood?

  I hope you like your outfit.

• 31:21Brooke Averick?

  Anyway, that's mostly what I have to say about Wicked for Good. It was so good and incredible and I'm gonna see it again on Friday.

• 31:31Connor Wood?

  Oh, that's exciting.

• 31:32Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I'm really excited. Oh, my God, as long as your mind was so sensual. Also, which I was kind of surprised because it is rated G, so I was like, wow, this is sexy, but in a way that's like, it's okay, like, it is still G, but so sexy. And it was kind of scary too, when, you remember when you saw Wicked, how Bach changes into the Tin Man? And Fierro changes into the Scarecrow and they transform. Those were kind of scary too. Like, if I was eight watching that, I would have been traumatized.

• 32:08Connor Wood?

  I had several times where I was really scared, the whole, like, the monkeys were the worst part, obviously, but like, there were several times where I was like, this is like legit, not 100% G.

• 32:20Brooke Averick?

  Yes, it was really, it was like the max amount G you could be bef- wait, it's PG, sorry. This is the, it was the most PG it could be before being 13. Cause I was spooked. Anyway, I think that's about it, I have to say, with the, with the language that I've been given, that I've access to.

• 32:42Connor Wood?

  Well.

• 32:45Connor Wood?

  We could do, when you find more language, we could just do, we could do a another recap, I guess.

• 32:51Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, maybe Friday I'll be, I'll get more language.

• 32:54Connor Wood?

  I really do feel like you covered, I feel like I watched the movie.

• 32:57Brooke Averick?

  No, you do not.

• 32:58Connor Wood?

  I do. I feel like I actually watched the alternate ending.

• 33:03Brooke Averick?

  Cause I feel like I didn't watch the movie. Like, I don't remember, like, I I blacked out. Like, I don't remember a lot. So I'm really excited for Friday, when hopefully I can kind of, like, I was so annoying to be sitting next to you. I feel horrible for the woman that was next to me. I was moaning. Groaning.

• 33:22Connor Wood?

  I, I am gonna say something that is gonna come off as mean.

• 33:24Brooke Averick?

  Sure.

• 33:25Connor Wood?

  But just because of my personal preference and things that I like, when I go to the movies, I do like to watch the movie and it's quiet.

• 33:30Brooke Averick?

  I didn't want to be doing what I did.

• 33:32Connor Wood?

  I can't imagine how the, the dots I'd be having in the theater if everyone was ma- like, as actively involved in the, in the flick as as they were.

• 33:43Brooke Averick?

  Well, there was an early, like, fan screening that I went to, so everyone, like, everyone stood up and clapped at the end of

• 33:51Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I'd be

• 33:51Brooke Averick?

  um, No Good Deed. I stood up at the end of As Long As Your Mind and saluted.

• 34:00Brooke Averick?

  I salute to you.

• 34:05Brooke Averick?

  Viero. Wow, what he did, the back character I didn't know could be done. Holy

• 34:10Connor Wood?

  I admire I admire your passion. I have never felt that way about seriously, maybe like The Cliffs of Moheer? You know, like, I was like, oh, this is

• 34:21Brooke Averick?

  That how you say that?

• 34:23Brooke Averick?

  I'm not saying you're wrong, I've just only read it.

• 34:25Connor Wood?

  I think it's The Cliffs of Moheer, but I'm, you see something like that, and I'm like, wow, this is amazing. I wanna salute these rocks.

• 34:30Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 34:31Connor Wood?

  I can't imagine seeing something in film and being like, yeah, I'm gonna stand up. This is genuinely just like how I feel. Salute. Thanks.

• 34:39Brooke Averick?

  Like, I'm not even exaggerating about, like, how I felt like I was meeting Jesus.

• 34:45Connor Wood?

  No, I believe you.

• 34:46Brooke Averick?

  I really actively, like, there were thoughts in my head that, that are like, I'm, I'm going to die.

• 34:52Connor Wood?

  I, 100%, I don't have even a single doubt

• 34:55Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 34:56Connor Wood?

  about how you were feeling. I feel it through the screen.

• 34:59Brooke Averick?

  It was amazing.

• 35:03Connor Wood?

  So stoked for you.

• 35:04Brooke Averick?

  Thanks. I can't wait to see it again. Thanks for listening.

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

  King's Hawaiian Cinnamon Bites. There's nothing like it.

• 36:07Connor Wood?

  Oh no, I was locked in just now.

• 36:09Brooke Averick?

  How were your last shows?

• 36:12Connor Wood?

  Oh, so amazing. So glad to have done it in New York. Yeah, so I'm done with tour.

• 36:19Brooke Averick?

  That's crazy.

• 36:20Connor Wood?

  Actually officially, it's done. You've said it before, you'll say it again. It is done.

• 36:25Brooke Averick?

  There's no way.

• 36:26Connor Wood?

  There's a couple rogue, I'm doing one-off shows. Tour is done.

• 36:29Brooke Averick?

  Uh huh.

• 36:29Connor Wood?

  The Fibs and Friends thing, it's done. Um, I got an inbound, obviously, like last Thursday, the day before, or no, last Wednesday, the day before the show, from a friend of the pod, none other than Miss Alana Glazer, who was like, "I'd love to come on the show." Like, she was like actively wanting to do some shows during New York Comedy Fest, and I was like, "I have a spot for you."

• 36:54Brooke Averick?

  That is nuts.

• 36:57Connor Wood?

  That, I mean, for me, someone who watched in college...

• 37:04Connor Wood?

  I'm, I'm, I'm working towards a bachelor degree. I'm sitting there, my roommates and I all watched Broad City. It was to the point where if someone watched an episode, that was like right at the very beginning of like, we're all splitting one Hulu account. It was a big deal if someone's like logging in and watching an episode that we're all watching. Going from that and then having the woman that wrote Broad City, oh, like bring me out on my final shows of my first tour ever.

• 37:27Brooke Averick?

  It's not normal.

• 37:29Connor Wood?

  Bone chilling, bone chilling. Us, us in the green room, hanging out, that's my friend.

• 37:33Brooke Averick?

  I want you to remember that every time you're like comparing yourself to something that someone else is doing. Imagine telling your college self that Alana Glazer brought you out on your, the last show of your sold out two year comedy tour.

• 37:49Connor Wood?

  Right. No, I mean, it was, it was,

• 37:51Brooke Averick?

  Write that down.

• 37:52Connor Wood?

  It was great. It was just so awesome. So many people came to the show and then so many people came to the after party. It was just like so, it was a perfect cherry on top.

• 38:02Brooke Averick?

  It looked like the perfect cherry.

• 38:04Connor Wood?

  The perfect cherry. I couldn't have asked for a better cherry.

• 38:09Brooke Averick?

  It was such an amazing cherry. It's cherry season after all.

• 38:12Connor Wood?

  It is cherry season. It's been cherry season for a minute and it will continue to be cherry season until late May.

• 38:18Brooke Averick?

  Mm hmm.

• 38:19Connor Wood?

  Um, but everything has kind of been just like kind of chungo city since doing my final show. It's kind of like, oh, hey, like I kind of, I went a little bit, I went a little bit like brain dead, like my brain has gotten into relaxation mode.

• 38:37Brooke Averick?

  Good. Let it.

• 38:39Connor Wood?

  Well, I can't, well, I can't. You gotta keep grinding, girl. I'm in the, I'm in the, I'm in the Prada mentality and I'm, I'm, I'm ready to keep going. But it's just, it's weird being done, basically. I'm stoked to be, have raft on that, but it is weird being done.

• 38:53Brooke Averick?

  I understand that feeling. I felt that way when I finished writing.

• 38:57Connor Wood?

  Yeah, right?

• 38:58Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, it's weird. Well, it's just like all you've known for so long. It's like now what?

• 39:01Connor Wood?

  All you've known for so long and then it's like, you wake up and it's like, I need to, huh? Huh?

• 39:08Brooke Averick?

  I need a what?

• 39:10Connor Wood?

  I need a, I need a, I need, you wanna really, really, really wanna?

• 39:15Brooke Averick?

  If you, but yeah.

• 39:17Connor Wood?

  Well, talking about brain dead, this is something.

• 39:21Connor Wood?

  I have, I have to talk through this with you.

• 39:23Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 39:25Connor Wood?

  This experience that I had. Have you shopped at CVS recently?

• 39:29Brooke Averick?

  Uh, I feel like I'm always at CVS, but I've been getting my meds delivered because I can't like go get them. So no, not recently, but like, of course, recently, yes.

• 39:46Connor Wood?

  Um. The new experience of shopping at CVS, especially like in a city, they have everything locked up.

• 39:53Brooke Averick?

  Yes.

• 39:54Connor Wood?

  Everything is locked away behind

• 39:57Connor Wood?

  bars or like behind this glass case.

• 40:00Brooke Averick?

  I'll never understand the things they choose to lock up. Why are you locking up deodorant?

• 40:05Connor Wood?

  Deodorant.

• 40:06Brooke Averick?

  Can you use it to make meth?

• 40:09Connor Wood?

  No, I just think it's like what, probably what people need and it's probably goes missing a lot because it's like, I need deodorant and whatever. Just, yeah, it's bizarre. It is the biggest humiliation ritual to walk into CVS, walk over, there's a Taylor Swift song playing. And then you have to push a button. It stops the song. In an otherwise quiet CVS pharmacy and goes, uh, attention shoppers, there is a young man on aisle four that is buying dandruff shampoo. You will notice him. There's only four of you in this, in this place. You will see that that this guy in aisle four, he has dandruff and he's buying the shampoo.

• 40:50Brooke Averick?

  That's why I go puff my dandruff shampoo.

• 40:52Connor Wood?

  And then it goes, we need a tenant. The tenant walks over, wants you fucking dead. Walks over and goes, you really needed, you needed dandruff shampoo, you flaky nasty bitch. So bad that I had to walk over here. Unlocks it. You get it. It's humiliating. And then you are looking for toothpaste or something. And then you turn around, you're two, two steps away from where you just were. This happened to me last night. Not necessarily with dandruff shampoo. There's just an example.

• 41:18Brooke Averick?

  What did it happen with last night?

• 41:21Connor Wood?

  Dandruff shampoo. But I, I needed toothpaste and they of course have toothpaste locked up. So then I had to push the button and same person comes over and it was like, like, I hate you. I want you dead. So this person wants me dead. And so after like having this, you know, my, my minimum wage personal shopper walk me by the hand to go, go, you know, this person hates me is not like getting paid enough to be walking around the store with me to like get all my groceries. Then I get to the one part that they let you do yourself checkout. The one thing they trust you with is checking out. And I locked the machine to checkout twice because I kept putting my stuff in the bagging area too quickly. And they would, they have this little alarm that goes off. That's like,

• 42:06Connor Wood?

  woo, like we're sending help. Help is on the way.

• 42:10Brooke Averick?

  This is why I don't go, I don't do that shit.

• 42:12Connor Wood?

  Brooke, it was, it gets worse. The, the person has to come over, unlock it for me, type in the thing like, hey, moron. Yeah, there's a two step then can you shit like unlocks it. And I get to the end, I'm going really quickly because I need to get out because there's only four, there's literally four people in here and no one else is having an issue except me. I get to the very end, I'm going really quickly and I, I guess I clicked like sign up for CVS card and I go, I'm not clicking back because if my siren goes off again, I'm gonna explode. So I sign up for a CVS card and I get to the very end and I click like submit or whatever. And it goes, you already have an account. You already have a CVS card. Siren goes off. Guy has to come over, like you already have one. Why

• 42:57Connor Wood?

  did you say, I almost just like gave him, he probably thinks I'm like some sick freak that like really liked calling him over, you know?

• 43:04Brooke Averick?

  Right.

• 43:05Connor Wood?

  I really just wanted to give him my wallet and leave, but he had to unlock it. They would, didn't even type in my CVS card. I walk out, I, that was, I, as I walked out of that CVS last night, which I will never do again. It was just clown music playing in my head. I felt like the dumbest little monkey with like symbols that you.

• 43:23Brooke Averick?

  They don't make it easy.

• 43:24Connor Wood?

  No, it was humiliating. It was the most dehumanizing experience ever. And I just went for just a couple of things. I don't have to name, but like.

• 43:34Connor Wood?

  No.

• 43:35Brooke Averick?

  Can I ask you a question about the dandruff shampoo? Because I just, it's that time of year and I also just got a fresh order in.

• 43:42Connor Wood?

  It gets cold and my scalp gets dry.

• 43:43Brooke Averick?

  I got a fresh order in as well. Are you doing Head and Shoulders?

• 43:47Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 43:48Brooke Averick?

  I want, I don't want you to be doing that.

• 43:50Connor Wood?

  No, I know you told me, you told me, you told me about your dry scalp. Let's call it dry scalp shampoo. We don't need to.

• 43:57Brooke Averick?

  There's, dandruff is nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone has dandruff.

• 44:00Connor Wood?

  So you've got this chungus life and basically you've got this dry scalp. So I use Head and Shoulders every now and then it's, it's kind of like a treat. You use this nasty smelling, medical grade dandruff shampoo.

• 44:15Brooke Averick?

  You have to use T gel if you don't want dandruff.

• 44:18Connor Wood?

  Brooke, T gel smells.

• 44:18Brooke Averick?

  If you want dandruff, use Head and Shoulders.

• 44:21Connor Wood?

  T gel, T gel smells like.

• 44:24Brooke Averick?

  It's medical grade. It's medical grade.

• 44:26Connor Wood?

  A serious chemical leak from a factory.

• 44:28Brooke Averick?

  Medical grade dandruff shampoo.

• 44:30Connor Wood?

  And I need to like evacuate my home quick.

• 44:33Brooke Averick?

  If you want to have dandruff, use Head and Shoulders.

• 44:35Connor Wood?

  I don't want to have dandruff.

• 44:37Brooke Averick?

  Use Head and Shoulders if you want dandruff.

• 44:38Connor Wood?

  But I want to smell like fresh and clean.

• 44:40Brooke Averick?

  I put, and I do a double shampoo. I do my T gel and then I do a nice smelling.

• 44:46Connor Wood?

  I don't want to do two double.

• 44:47Brooke Averick?

  T gel is truly like, you will not have dandruff.

• 44:50Connor Wood?

  I don't like the name of it either. T gel. It like sounds, it sounds like medical grade. Huh?

• 44:55Brooke Averick?

  It's Neutrogena.

• 44:57Connor Wood?

  It smells like so fucking bad, Brooke.

• 44:59Brooke Averick?

  It's not bad. It's just definitely like medical.

• 45:02Connor Wood?

  No, it smells like burnt hair.

• 45:04Brooke Averick?

  No, it's really not. I don't think it smells that bad. It just smells like, oh, thank you. You're going to get rid of my dandruff. That's, that's the smell to me.

• 45:13Connor Wood?

  It smells

• 45:16Connor Wood?

  bad. It smells bad.

• 45:17Brooke Averick?

  It's not like, holy shit, I wish this was my perfume, but it's not. You're being drama.

• 45:24Connor Wood?

  It smells bad.

• 45:25Brooke Averick?

  Anyway, if anyone else is out there and is like, I still have dandruff because I'm using head and shoulders, you need to use tea gel. I will say the um, black syrupy appearance, it might throw you off for a second, coupled with the more medicinal smell, it will work. I love things that work.

• 45:45Connor Wood?

  It looks like what came out of my drain in my old apartment.

• 45:48Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 45:49Connor Wood?

  It looks like that and it smells.

• 45:51Brooke Averick?

  It's the smell's not that bad. It's just like hos- it smells like a hospital.

• 45:56Connor Wood?

  Yeah, like where it smells like it's gonna send you to the hospital. It smells so bad.

• 46:00Brooke Averick?

  No. Wait, I have so many things to say.

• 46:03Connor Wood?

  Okay, hit me with something from your list that you don't share with me.

• 46:07Brooke Averick?

  I have so many things on my list. I- it's almost hard to know where to begin. Um, have you seen the guy on TikTok, Matt Taylor? The art teacher who is possibly, probably Kevin James?

• 46:28Connor Wood?

  Yes.

• 46:28Brooke Averick?

  Is it Kevin James?

• 46:30Connor Wood?

  It has to be. It's crazy that everyone's doing this Mr. Fantasy thing now.

• 46:34Brooke Averick?

  Oh my God, I didn't even think about that. But this is different because he's not even like cam- he's not in a disguise at all. It's just Kevin James as an art teacher.

• 46:43Connor Wood?

  I know, but he's an art teacher and he's got full-

• 46:45Brooke Averick?

  He's an art teacher, but he's this basically, if you don't know, like there's this guy on TikTok, Matt Taylor, who is, he is Kevin James, like it's just Kevin James, but he's like, hey, I'm, I'm Matt, uh, I'm an art teacher. And he like goes through his like art classroom and it's like, why are you, are you, are you Matt Taylor? Cause, cause why would Kevin James be doing this necessarily?

• 47:12Connor Wood?

  Promote a show where he's an art teacher named Matt.

• 47:16Brooke Averick?

  That

• 47:16Connor Wood?

  Which is a

• 47:17Brooke Averick?

  It's brilliant.

• 47:17Connor Wood?

  It's a brilliant way to do it because you get introduced to this like influencer that's an arts teacher named Matt and then you are like, I want more of Matt. Well, good news. There's a show coming out.

• 47:26Brooke Averick?

  He had me going. He had me defending him to a group of people who were like, Brooke, you're an idiot. That's Kevin James. I said, that's not Kevin James. That is Matt Taylor.

• 47:37Brooke Averick?

  He had me going.

• 47:38Connor Wood?

  It's, I don't even have a

• 47:40Brooke Averick?

  Despite just being Kevin James. So

• 47:42Connor Wood?

  After Mr. Fan- after Mr. Fantasy, I like this whole thing is

• 47:46Brooke Averick?

  Well, Mr. Fantasy is different because he's like dressed up in a disguise. Kevin James was just, Matt Taylor is just Kevin James.

• 47:56Connor Wood?

  I think it's, I mean, I think it's a, if you feel

• 47:58Brooke Averick?

  Which arguably worse that I was defending that.

• 48:01Connor Wood?

  If you feel an affinity towards Matt James, the art teacher, then he's already won you over for his TV show.

• 48:06Brooke Averick?

  I, no, this was brilliant. I'm gonna watch the TV show.

• 48:09Connor Wood?

  Did you see the one, the Drake one recently? There's a street performer that is performing Michael Jackson and he looks, he's dressed like Michael Jackson, but it's Drake.

• 48:17Brooke Averick?

  No.

• 48:19Connor Wood?

  Have you, Izzy? No.

• 48:22Connor Wood?

  Okay. We're not gonna be able to find it. It's gonna be on TikTok. Just know that I was I made my stake here first. I saw him and before he starts popping up. It wouldn't surprise me if Drake like needed the public, like the PR thing of like doing like a Matt Taylor, Mr. Fantasy situation.

• 48:38Brooke Averick?

  Speaking of Mr. F, he was at Dancing with the Stars last night.

• 48:43Connor Wood?

  I saw that.

• 48:44Brooke Averick?

  As was Zach. He was being so precious because, did you see him turn to his mom when Dylan got like, I think Dylan got like on the eyes or something and Zach was like, are those good scores?

• 48:56Connor Wood?

  Oh.

• 48:56Brooke Averick?

  And his mom was like, yeah. And then Zach started cheering. Like he genuinely didn't know, which, which leads me to wonder, have, has he been watching?

• 49:04Connor Wood?

  Which also leads me to wonder if the guy that tells you when to clap just wasn't doing his job.

• 49:08Brooke Averick?

  Right. You had a lot to say about the guy who tells you to clap.

• 49:12Connor Wood?

  That guy is my, is my number one enemy.

• 49:15Brooke Averick?

  I, I understood. He, he ruffled your feathers.

• 49:18Connor Wood?

  Yeah. I mean,

• 49:21Connor Wood?

  It was, oh, there he is.

• 49:23Brooke Averick?

  I'm the most annoying person to watch Dancing with the Stars with because I'm just like, and it's, I'm not even doing it on purpose. Like, it's truly like, you would think you're watching like a TikTok, like the Laney Rose skit of like, girl who knows Dylan Efron. So like, I'm not even doing it on purpose. Like, I'm watching with a group of people. I'm like, oh, man, that was great. Like, maybe I'll text Dylan and be like, good job. Like, I have his number and stuff like that. Like, I don't know. I think I'm seeing him pretty soon. Like, I'm so fucking annoying.

• 49:51Connor Wood?

  I texted him last week.

• 49:52Brooke Averick?

  You did. I love him so much. He's my, like, that is like a, he is like a brother to me. That is my family. It's ridiculous.

• 50:00Connor Wood?

  I was like, come on, all tens, come on. No response.

• 50:04Brooke Averick?

  He's very busy.

• 50:06Connor Wood?

  I know. That's just like, if I text someone something that's like a congrats or whatever, I'm not, because, because of me on my birthday, I'm not responding every time. It's like, thank you. That was just a sentiment. It's like sending, it's like going to someone's birthday. If you are, someone's something, like a wedding, you don't see a ton of the bride and groom. You don't see a ton of the birthday person if it's a large birthday.

• 50:28Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 50:28Connor Wood?

  But they know that you're there.

• 50:29Brooke Averick?

  Exactly. That's all that matters. I don't understand, I haven't watched Dancing with the Stars really before the season. So I don't understand how next week is the finale and there's five left.

• 50:42Connor Wood?

  I don't think I've watched this far in Dancing with the Stars.

• 50:44Brooke Averick?

  So what, Izzy, what happens if there's five? They just pick one?

• 50:48Speaker 07

  Mm-hmm. I think it gets dropped down to two. Let me just look it up.

• 50:53Brooke Averick?

  Because it's, next week is the last episode.

• 50:55Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 50:58Brooke Averick?

  Does it get dropped down to two and then they live dance?

• 51:02Speaker 07

  Um.

• 51:04Brooke Averick?

  Dancing with the Stars finale involves two rounds, a redemption or fan favorite dance and a freestyle dance. For the finale, the five couples will compete and the winner is determined by combining the judges' scores from these dances and the public's vote from another that night.

• 51:17Brooke Averick?

  This is the kind of thing where I'll just have to watch it because I don't, I don't understand. No voting on the final round.

• 51:25Brooke Averick?

  Okay, I'll just watch.

• 51:28Connor Wood?

  We'll tune into.

• 51:30Brooke Averick?

  Um, but yeah, I'm really excited about that.

• 51:34Connor Wood?

  Wait, what, what was, was yesterday Oscars or Grammys or what? What, what just happened? Academy, so it was the Grammys. Whoa.

• 51:41Brooke Averick?

  I don't think any of them.

• 51:43Connor Wood?

  It was, it was the Governor's Awards, but it's from the Academy. So I think it's the Grammys.

• 51:48Brooke Averick?

  I thought Oscars.

• 51:51Connor Wood?

  I don't think the Oscars are the Academy.

• 51:53Brooke Averick?

  They definitely are because they're called the Academy Awards.

• 51:57Connor Wood?

  And the Grammys are the Academy too.

• 52:01Brooke Averick?

  I honestly don't know, but I'm positive the Oscars are.

• 52:04Connor Wood?

  The Academy is also sports and outdoors. So which one is it Academy?

• 52:09Brooke Averick?

  Definitely the Oscars.

• 52:11Connor Wood?

  But it's also the Grammys.

• 52:13Brooke Averick?

  Maybe. I don't know about that, but I'm positive. Okay. It's Grammys.

• 52:17Speaker 07

  The Grammys is the Recording Academy.

• 52:18Brooke Averick?

  The Grammys is the Recording Academy.

• 52:20Connor Wood?

  Recording Academy.

• 52:22Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 52:23Connor Wood?

  What is the Motion Picture Academy? Is that the?

• 52:26Brooke Averick?

  Sure. Yeah.

• 52:27Connor Wood?

  Oscars?

• 52:28Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 52:30Connor Wood?

  So it's two different academies?

• 52:31Brooke Averick?

  Totally.

• 52:32Connor Wood?

  What's an Academy?

• 52:33Brooke Averick?

  But I think like the Academy, when people just refer to it colloquially, like colloquially like that, is the Motion Picture one.

• 52:42Connor Wood?

  No, because I, when you say thank you to the Academy, like Billie Eilish would say that.

• 52:46Speaker 07

  Those are like the people who voted.

• 52:51Speaker 07

  Like you're part of the Academy.

• 52:52Brooke Averick?

  I think when people talk about the Academy, they're really, it's mostly the Oscars one.

• 52:59Connor Wood?

  I'm looking.

• 53:00Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 53:00Connor Wood?

  I'm looking. I have an open Instagram in two days.

• 53:09Connor Wood?

  Yeah. Oh, you're right. It is movies. And to see Reese Feldman front and center on every single post.

• 53:15Brooke Averick?

  He's so good at what he does. It's insane.

• 53:17Connor Wood?

  The Academy post. It's just like so amazing. He deserves the world.

• 53:22Brooke Averick?

  He's so good at what he does.

• 53:23Connor Wood?

  One, he's so good. Two, genuine good person.

• 53:27Brooke Averick?

  Both. Agree.

• 53:28Connor Wood?

  Genuine good person. Alert Reese Feldman.

• 53:30Brooke Averick?

  I agree. He's fabulous.

• 53:33Connor Wood?

  I wonder when we will move past, and by the way, love them, but I wonder when we'll move past the need for award shows. Do you like them? I want to go to them.

• 53:46Brooke Averick?

  I do like award shows and I, why do we not have one for books?

• 53:51Brooke Averick?

  I guess most authors don't want that.

• 53:54Brooke Averick?

  I guess most authors are introverts.

• 53:56Connor Wood?

  Probably because they want to just read.

• 53:58Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 53:58Connor Wood?

  They want to just read the award show.

• 53:59Brooke Averick?

  They probably don't want to be on stage. But I want at least like Goodreads does, like a Goodreads Choice Awards. I think we should have a more like mainstream book award rather than just like the Booker Prize one, which is for like fine literature, like, hey, let's include rom coms in something.

• 54:15Connor Wood?

  Do it, start it.

• 54:17Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 54:18Connor Wood?

  I just like, I don't get it for, I guess I don't get it for music. Movies make sense to me. Like, because there's a lot of subjectiveness, but like, music, it's like, the most famous person is gonna win every single time.

• 54:30Brooke Averick?

  No, remember when that one person won who I, like, way back in the day and everyone was like so mad?

• 54:38Brooke Averick?

  I don't even know who they are.

• 54:40Connor Wood?

  Like, I don't even know what you're talking about.

• 54:43Brooke Averick?

  Someone, was it like Beck or something?

• 54:46Connor Wood?

  Oh, because Beck won over Beyonce.

• 54:49Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, and I didn't know who they, they?

• 54:52Connor Wood?

  Yeah, it's a band.

• 54:53Brooke Averick?

  I didn't even know who they were, so.

• 54:55Connor Wood?

  That is amazing.

• 54:55Brooke Averick?

  Okay, but like most, or not most people, but like a lot of people, Beyonce is more famous by a long shot.

• 55:02Connor Wood?

  That's true. Well, Beck was just voted by the Academy.

• 55:06Brooke Averick?

  Sure, but you just said it's, it's a popularity contest, so it's, it's probably, it might not be.

• 55:10Connor Wood?

  I think it is now. I do think it is now. I don't think you would have a Beck situation in current day because it would, there'd just be public upset and people just will boycott award shows. And they need the viewerships. That's why I think that influencers are even in, that's, I think that's why we're invited to stuff is because people watch when people post about it.

• 55:30Brooke Averick?

  I don't mean to sound entitled.

• 55:33Connor Wood?

  Hello?

• 55:33Brooke Averick?

  Hello, can you hear me?

• 55:35Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 55:36Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I don't mean to sound entitled. I wasn't invited to the Wicked premiere.

• 55:40Connor Wood?

  I wasn't either.

• 55:42Brooke Averick?

  Oh, that's, you don't care for it.

• 55:45Connor Wood?

  I live here, though.

• 55:45Brooke Averick?

  That's true. At first I was like, okay, I'm not really upset because I, maybe they're just inviting New York people. It's almost like everyone from Los Angeles was there too.

• 55:57Brooke Averick?

  I just feel they're not mad at me. Like, that was my, I was scared I did something, cause like-

• 56:01Connor Wood?

  Why would they be mad at you?

• 56:02Brooke Averick?

  I don't know, I was invited to everything last year, and I'm like, what did I do between then and now to, to get removed from the invite list, especially as someone who's like a very extreme fan? So, it's just like something-

• 56:16Connor Wood?

  Well, I'm sure you will-

• 56:17Brooke Averick?

  Not entitled to be going to these things, of course, but I feel like that is the one thing that's like, makes, makes sense for me, in a way.

• 56:24Connor Wood?

  You just gave them-

• 56:26Brooke Averick?

  Have you even been mad at me?

• 56:28Connor Wood?

  You found, no, you found the words to just, to give them every accolade known to man, even though you were speechless, for about, for a-

• 56:37Brooke Averick?

  Hey, they can't get me down.

• 56:39Connor Wood?

  No.

• 56:40Brooke Averick?

  Hey, they're not gonna stop me from, from loving what I do and doing what I love.

• 56:44Connor Wood?

  Right, and if you do what you love, you never work at any-

• 56:46Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, am I pissed? Hundred percent.

• 56:49Brooke Averick?

  Am I ever gonna stop supporting them? Never in a million years.

• 56:54Connor Wood?

  Thanks.

• 56:55Brooke Averick?

  Thank you.

• 56:57Brooke Averick?

  Joke's on them when I host my own Wicked Premiere, with just me and Jonathan Bailey.

• 57:02Connor Wood?

  How's that gonna work?

• 57:03Brooke Averick?

  Yes. It will be amazing.

• 57:08Connor Wood?

  Thank you, Audrey. I'm your biggest Chungus fan.

• 57:11Brooke Averick?

  Hi, Audrey, it's me, your biggest Chungus.

• 57:13Connor Wood?

  Hi, Audrey, would you like me to read your future or your past? I have a feeling, mm...

• 57:21Brooke Averick?

  Get you back on Raya.

• 57:25Connor Wood?

  Nathan Fielder.

• 57:25Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 57:28Brooke Averick?

  And that's probably, maybe, one of the reasons that I can't get on, one of the many reasons I can't get on, is I am announcing who is on the platform, on a, on a public podcast.

• 57:37Connor Wood?

  But you didn't-

• 57:38Brooke Averick?

  I don't care!

• 57:38Connor Wood?

  Yeah. It's okay.

• 57:41Brooke Averick?

  Just saying. I have two more things to say, unless you wanna talk about Nathan Fielder being on Raya.

• 57:46Connor Wood?

  I don't have anything else. Like, I like, really- I want, I want, I really want you guys to start looking for a sub, a co-host. Like, until I can find my, my powers, I really need you guys to find someone.

• 58:00Brooke Averick?

  You're going through something just because tour ended?

• 58:02Connor Wood?

  No, it's been six weeks of like, I can't clip anything, nothing's funny.

• 58:09Brooke Averick?

  It's like, we don't do this for the clips.

• 58:15Connor Wood?

  Speak for yourself.

• 58:18Brooke Averick?

  But, no, it's good to, you know, not all like conversations are gonna be clippable. But it's, that's good because that means we're having like conversations.

• 58:29Connor Wood?

  You would think one out of 15, 16, 18, 20 something hours of video, I'd have a 15 second clip.

• 58:37Brooke Averick?

  Have you played the game Fruit Merge?

• 58:44Connor Wood?

  No, it hasn't come across my desk.

• 58:46Brooke Averick?

  Connor, I want to encourage everyone with a phone addiction to stop the podcast right now.

• 58:52Connor Wood?

  Oh.

• 58:53Brooke Averick?

  Because this has taken my phone addiction unfortunately from an 100

• 58:59Brooke Averick?

  to

• 59:02Brooke Averick?

  a number very much bigger than 100. This is a disaster. Fruit Merge is the best, it's like Temple Run, but like, it's like one of those games that's like, I can't wait to wake up and play Fruit Merge.

• 59:17Brooke Averick?

  It's like 2048, like, I go to bed, I see, I close my eyes, I see my fruits merging. Like, oh my God, this grape, where's this grape gonna land? I have to make sure it lands near an orange. So that I can, because it said I can merge my grapes and turn them into one orange. God willing, the orange is near this humongous green fruit, so I can merge them too. It's incredible and indescribable, this game Fruit Merge. If you are addicted to your phone, do not download Fruit Merge. I really wish someone was there to tell me that.

• 59:51Brooke Averick?

  All I, all I want to do is merge fruit all day.

• 59:53Connor Wood?

  It's amazing that my lips can chap as aggressively as they do, even though there's like not a ton of lip.

• 59:59Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, my chylitis has been really bad with my dandruff.

• 1:00:03Connor Wood?

  I just wiped my lips on the thing.

• 1:00:05Brooke Averick?

  I wonder if I put T gel on my lips?

• 1:00:07Connor Wood?

  It was like, it feels like I'm sandpapering my, my microwave.

• 1:00:13Connor Wood?

  Um.

• 1:00:14Brooke Averick?

  I'm gonna put T gel on my lips and get back to you.

• 1:00:17Connor Wood?

  Don't put T gel on your lips, Brooke, we will never see you again.

• 1:00:20Brooke Averick?

  Why?

• 1:00:21Connor Wood?

  Cause that's poisonous.

• 1:00:23Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, if it gets in your mouth, that's so true.

• 1:00:25Connor Wood?

  T gel, poison, shrimp is bugs.

• 1:00:30Connor Wood?

  Um, I had a list this morning too. I was gonna tell you about earlier. I just remembered.

• 1:00:35Brooke Averick?

  Tell me.

• 1:00:36Connor Wood?

  It's not good. This is not like a good list. This is just like one that's come to mind because

• 1:00:42Connor Wood?

  my favorite thing to say a long time ago, when I would meet someone's dog. Cause I met this dog named Amanda.

• 1:00:48Brooke Averick?

  I love that.

• 1:00:49Connor Wood?

  And I said, as if this year could get any worse. I just met a dog named Amanda.

• 1:00:53Brooke Averick?

  I remember that.

• 1:00:55Connor Wood?

  And then I keep getting, coming across diseases online that I think would be great names for, like I've always said, I think Parvo would be a great name for a dog.

• 1:01:06Brooke Averick?

  Cholera is beautiful too.

• 1:01:08Connor Wood?

  Cholera would be a gorgeous, yeah. Oh my God, cholera. You put a collar on a dog. But I also think ARFID is a new disease that I've just started to learn about. And I think ARFID would be a perfect name for a pooch.

• 1:01:21Brooke Averick?

  I boldly am on the ARFID side of TikTok.

• 1:01:24Connor Wood?

  ARFID has over, I'm inundated with ARFID content. And then the last one is lupus. Is lupus not like a gorgeous name for like a mutt?

• 1:01:32Brooke Averick?

  Well, that reminds me of Lupin. Who was a Harry Potter character who turned into a werewolf. So it is very like dog like.

• 1:01:42Connor Wood?

  That's awesome.

• 1:01:43Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. So you're on to something.

• 1:01:45Connor Wood?

  Lupus, gorgeous hound, ARFID, a smaller, maybe toy size.

• 1:01:51Brooke Averick?

  ARFID, I, what are those like, it's like Toto.

• 1:01:56Connor Wood?

  Toto.

• 1:01:57Brooke Averick?

  Toto is ARFID.

• 1:01:58Connor Wood?

  Toto, ARFID, Parvo. Heroic. That dog is a dog hero. There's kids trapped in a cave up on a mountain. Parvo is on his way. Running supplies of the mountain. He finds them. Parvo is here to save you. Parvo digs and digs and digs. Parvo runs them down to the town. Well, maybe just one boy. Runs the one boy down to the town. Parvo, statue of Parvo in town, in the town square.

• 1:02:28Connor Wood?

  And the, and the, and the, and the town cheers. Parvo.

• 1:02:32Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 1:02:32Connor Wood?

  Parvo. Parvo. It wouldn't work the same with arfid. Arfid would not be climbing, scaling a mountain to save the boy.

• 1:02:40Brooke Averick?

  Arfid's too little.

• 1:02:42Connor Wood?

  Arfid's far too little.

• 1:02:43Brooke Averick?

  Arfid's more of an intellectual.

• 1:02:45Connor Wood?

  Arfid has been sheltered.

• 1:02:47Brooke Averick?

  I'm sorry, I burped.

• 1:02:48Connor Wood?

  Lupus, dom, cannot even fetch.

• 1:02:52Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 1:02:53Connor Wood?

  So arfid is an eating situation, right?

• 1:02:56Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, it's like you're like, you have like a very like visceral reaction to certain foods. Like you can't eat most foods.

• 1:03:04Connor Wood?

  Is it?

• 1:03:06Connor Wood?

  So I was reading about it last night and someone said like, I had arfid, not to discredit if it like, it's real, but someone was like, I had arfid and then I went to therapy because I have, I just started dating this girl who's like, has a great palate. Now I like, love Thai food and I love spicy food. And he was like, I would think I was just a picky eater.

• 1:03:29Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I think it is, it is definitely picky eating to an extreme. Like I don't really know much about it. Like, I don't know if it's like categorized in some sort of medical book.

• 1:03:42Brooke Averick?

  I don't know. But I do think you can get over it.

• 1:03:45Connor Wood?

  That would be intense to talk to someone with arfid and be like, you should get over it.

• 1:03:48Brooke Averick?

  Well, I like, like you think it's like, oh, just picky eating. And then you watch someone with arfid try to eat something that they can't. And it's like, like they like, wow, you would think that they're being waterboarded.

• 1:04:02Connor Wood?

  Yeah. I mean, I don't care if you have arfid, arfied it up. Like I do not care, but like,

• 1:04:08Connor Wood?

  you can have peanut butter and jelly for your life.

• 1:04:11Brooke Averick?

  I like, but like, maybe they just don't like a lot of foods. Cause if someone tried to feed me blue cheese, like I would be having that sort of reaction. Like I'd be screaming and crying.

• 1:04:20Connor Wood?

  But you don't have arfid.

• 1:04:21Brooke Averick?

  I know, but I'm just saying like, maybe I do. Maybe arfid is just, maybe they just have arfid for more things.

• 1:04:33Connor Wood?

  Fuck my big fat chunky arfied palate.

• 1:04:38Brooke Averick?

  Fuck my arfied chunky life. Okay, let's go to the bonus.

• 1:04:42Connor Wood?

  Okay. Alright, you guys, we'll wrap it up. It's nothing new that I'm brain dead. I've been here. I don't want to stay here, so I'm working on... I'm gonna do some exercises today for my brain. I'm gonna like drop things and catch them in my other hand and then tap.

• 1:04:58Brooke Averick?

  We can do exercises in the bonus.

• 1:05:00Connor Wood?

  Maybe I do some Sudoku.

• 1:05:01Brooke Averick?

  I love Sudoku.

• 1:05:04Connor Wood?

  Cool. We'll be doing Sudoku and then we'll see you guys over there. Bye. Thank you guys for listening also.

• 1:05:11Connor Wood?

  Bye.

• 1:05:11Brooke Averick?

  Bye.

• 1:05:20Speaker 01

  Ugh, I hate Mondays.

• 1:05:22Speaker 02

  King's Hawaiian cinnamon swirl bite?

• 1:05:24Speaker 01

  Taylor Hansen? Sure, I'll try one.

• 1:05:26Speaker 02

  Mmm.

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

• 1:05:31Speaker 01

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

• 1:05:35Speaker 03

  Taylor Hansen? Nice. Try one. Mmm.

• 1:05:42Speaker 03

  King's Hawaiian cinnamon bites.

• 1:05:45Speaker 04

  There's nothing like it.
