• 1:08Speaker 03

  Oh. Okay, 2 MG.

  Yeah.

• 1:15Brooke Averick?

  Recently, so I'm just keeping it nice and professional.

• 1:38Speaker 03

  Yeah, and we are in, in office today.

• 1:42Brooke Averick?

  Thank you for having me.

• 1:43Speaker 03

  Thanks for having me.

• 1:44Brooke Averick?

  Wait, thank you for being here. Why are you here?

• 1:46Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 1:47Brooke Averick?

  It's also a Monday, which is not our usual recording day.

• 1:49Speaker 03

  It's, it's not our usual...

• 1:50Brooke Averick?

  Because you're in town.

• 1:51Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:52Brooke Averick?

  Why?

• 1:53Speaker 03

  I'm in town because I was in Vegas yesterday, or yesterday, but also Saturday and Friday night. Um, I went to Vegas with T-Mobile to go see Post Malone.

• 2:05Speaker 03

  Whoa, Krakatoa.

• 2:06Brooke Averick?

  Whoa.

• 2:07Speaker 03

  Did you see it explode into the air?

• 2:09Brooke Averick?

  I just heard it.

• 2:10Speaker 03

  It had a, it had a light spritz into the air like a, like a COVID diagram when they're saying, when they're saying you're spraying.

• 2:17Brooke Averick?

  Mine usually open a little bit different. I'm not familiar with this type of opener.

• 2:21Speaker 03

  They retired these.

• 2:23Brooke Averick?

  Are they old?

• 2:25Speaker 03

  Um.

• 2:25Brooke Averick?

  Can they expire?

• 2:26Speaker 03

  I don't think that these, I don't think that they can expire, but what do I know?

• 2:31Brooke Averick?

  It's fine.

• 2:32Speaker 03

  Um.

• 2:33Brooke Averick?

  Anyway, you were in Vegas, sorry. It's almost easy to get distracted sometimes.

• 2:38Speaker 03

  It's almost easy to just throw everything to the wind.

• 2:40Brooke Averick?

  Mm-hmm.

• 2:41Speaker 03

  Um, no, Krakatoa to you as well and yours.

• 2:43Brooke Averick?

  And yours.

• 2:44Speaker 03

  Um, I was in Vegas for this Post Malone concert. It was a blast. Hashtag thank you T-Mobile. Um, and then I was like, I'm gonna, I'm right here. You know it's a 45 minute flight from LA to Vegas?

• 2:56Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I did.

• 2:57Speaker 03

  I didn't. So when I saw that, I was like, oh, let me get, let me step over into the stewed.

• 3:02Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I love that.

• 3:03Speaker 03

  And get some, get some things rocking in person.

• 3:06Brooke Averick?

  I'm grateful for that.

• 3:07Speaker 03

  Me too.

• 3:07Brooke Averick?

  For you being here.

• 3:08Speaker 03

  It's so nice to be back here.

• 3:10Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, we're happy to have you back. Thank you for covering for me last week.

• 3:15Speaker 03

  We're excited to have you back.

• 3:16Brooke Averick?

  Like, my god.

• 3:17Speaker 03

  I mean, thank you to Hunter for, for stepping in.

• 3:19Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, thank you for Hunter.

• 3:20Speaker 03

  But, um.

• 3:21Brooke Averick?

  Thank you, Hunter. Sweet boy.

• 3:23Speaker 03

  Yeah, no, we're excited to have you. How are you? How's everything going with the kids?

• 3:26Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I mean, I just don't wish that on my worst enemy, truly.

• 3:32Speaker 03

  That was so out of left field.

• 3:33Brooke Averick?

  It was so out of left field. I mean, it's like, kind of like sad if you want to hear what happened.

• 3:39Speaker 03

  Yeah, let's, yeah, walk through what happened.

• 3:41Brooke Averick?

  So, you know, I've had Rob for a month, has never shown any signs of like, any sort of discomfort, feeling sick. Um, and on Monday, last Monday, he went from like, I had friends over, he was being super social, he always loves hanging out with everyone, um, just acting like himself, and then he started hiding under a chair, which he did when I like first got him. So I was like, maybe he's a little bit overwhelmed, like, I'll give him some space. And then once everyone left, he didn't come out. Which was very weird and unlike him. And then I was like, okay, I guess just like cats can be finicky.

• 4:20Brooke Averick?

  So just like take some time if you need it. And then he never came to bed with me, which is that he's never not slept with me. So I didn't like that. And then when I woke up in the morning, he was still.

• 4:34Speaker 03

  Under the chair?

• 4:35Brooke Averick?

  He had moved from the chair to he got into his carrier, which like cats like don't want to get in their carrier. Um, so I was like, this is not right. So I like picked him up and then he kind of just plopped right back down. So I was like, okay, let's go to the, to the vet. Vet didn't have any appointments, so we just went to the ER. And I really was thinking like, I'm sure he's fine. Like this is probably nothing. Like he's a kitten, like, and as far as I know, very healthy. But they took him right back and then the doctor called me back and was like, basically he has like one red blood cell left. Like he's so, he's severely anemic.

• 5:17Brooke Averick?

  He's anemic and we need to start like blood transfusions like right now. And I was like, oh, oh my God, like completely like out of left field. So I was like, yeah, do whatever you need to do, please. And then they're like, yeah, it's just like, you just need to really quickly approve the payment. It's, I think it was 7,000 for the first blood transfusion, which I say just because it is so devastating that like if I couldn't just fork that over. It's like the other option is, I mean, maybe there's like financing plans, but like most people just have to like put their pets down. And it's so sad. Um, so I was thinking a lot about that and just like how unfair and sad that is, but you know, did the

• 5:59Brooke Averick?

  blood transfusion and then the doctor who, um, just was not sugarcoating like anything was basically like, yeah, like, um, we're going to keep him overnight. Hopefully he makes it like through the blood transfusion. We don't have any blood that matches his directly. So we're just going to give him like the best match that we can and like, hope that it works just because like it's better than nothing. So I was like, okay, I was in complete shell shock, like, like, didn't even know what to do. And then, um, she was basically like, so what we think it is, is either lymphoma. Cause they also like did an ultrasound and his organs were inflamed.

• 6:41Brooke Averick?

  So they were like, it's either lymphoma probably or FIP, which is, um, well, just like it used to kind of be just like a death sentence for cats. It's this like immunovirus, immune virus that just like would kill them. Yeah. But now there's just like, it's not approved by the FDA, but like this underground medicine that you can get that is like usually very successful. So if that happened, like, I don't know. He would have been okay, hopefully, but I don't know either way. She was like, either way, the prognosis is very poor. And that is when I texted you and was like, I can't. Yeah. Uh, do the podcast. Mm hmm. I was literally like leaving him there, like not knowing if he was going to make it through the night. Like not being able to tell him, like,

• 7:26Brooke Averick?

  I'll be back. I'm here. I'll be right back. Like, I love you. Like, you're like in the best hands. Like him not knowing like why he didn't feel good and like why I just had to leave him like on a table being poked. Like I was beside myself, like truly have never felt like so helpless and like sick to my stomach. Like so terrible.

• 7:49Brooke Averick?

  Um, and then he did make it through the night. Thank God. Yeah. I got to go visit him and they still didn't have any answers and they didn't have answers for, until yesterday, so almost a week. Um, but then he, he did get to come home and he's been acting like nothing happened. And I did end up spending like well over 10K, which is just like so insane. And I say that just because it's like, I'm having some sort of like, it sucks that like something this big had to happen. But I'm like wanting to like, put my whole life into just like figuring out a way to like, make this more affordable or something. Like, I don't know what the hell I would do, but like the fact that so many people just don't have the option.

• 8:34Brooke Averick?

  And just like, if I was teaching.

• 8:38Brooke Averick?

  I would have to pay more than my yearly salary.

• 8:40Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 8:40Brooke Averick?

  To keep my cat alive. And I wouldn't be able to do that. So I would have to put him down. Like, I just like, I've been so sick over all that. But he's been acting like he's fine. Um, so they called yesterday and were like, he had a parasite. And he's also FIV positive, which means he has cat.

• 9:06Speaker 03

  Feline AIDS.

• 9:07Brooke Averick?

  He has feline AIDS.

• 9:07Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 9:08Brooke Averick?

  Which he was tested for when I adopted him and it was a false negative, apparently. Cause I made them run it back again and it is positive. So he has HIV, essentially, and so he has a weakened immune system. And so he couldn't fight this parasite.

• 9:24Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 9:25Brooke Averick?

  So, yeah, so now there's a lot going on of like, I'm freaking out about John. And just like having one, cause I also got John tested and he's negative. So now I have one FIV positive cat and one FIV negative cat. But I have never done this much research on anything in my life. Like, I do.

• 9:46Speaker 03

  I don't know what you're talking about.

• 9:48Brooke Averick?

  Well, basically, just like in humans, like you can be HIV positive and HIV negative.

• 9:53Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 9:53Brooke Averick?

  Rob is positive, John is negative.

• 9:55Speaker 03

  It is, it is feline AIDS.

• 9:56Brooke Averick?

  Feline HIV, yeah.

• 9:57Speaker 03

  HIV.

• 9:58Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, it's not progressed, but it is called feline AIDS.

• 10:00Speaker 03

  That's what I thought. Okay, cool.

• 10:01Brooke Averick?

  If you Google it. Um.

• 10:04Speaker 03

  But it's so in my head and you had to learn all that in real time? And then handing your credit card.

• 10:10Brooke Averick?

  And then handing, I have been like, literally, sorry, like, obviously, like, very somber note to start the podcast on, but I have just been so immersed in this. In, in feline AIDS and everything like that. So that's been tough figuring out what to do with those two. I talked to about 18 different vets.

• 10:25Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 10:25Brooke Averick?

  And the transmission rate with indoor fixed male cats is like, pretty negligible. So, I mean, the best I can do is just, like, take them for frequent checkups, each of them, and just, like, keep my eye on it. And, you know, it only can be transmitted through like a very deep bite wound, which, you know, they fought before. But not that intensely and just with claws. So I don't see how it would be transmitted between them. But obviously I'm a wreck and.

• 10:57Brooke Averick?

  Just kind of keeping a very close eye on the situation and hopefully that's what it was. Rob had the parasite and just was very susceptible to it. And I still don't know if he has FIP, but I don't think so because he's acting normal. And if he did have FIP, I don't think that would be the case. So.

• 11:16Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 11:17Brooke Averick?

  I think we're okay. I think, I pray manifestation space that we are in the clear. And I just, I thank God that I can, you know, give them the care that they need.

• 11:28Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 11:28Brooke Averick?

  As, as my HIV positive and HIV negative son.

• 11:32Speaker 03

  Well, you're out of, you're out of that scary part at least that like being in the vet, when I was texting you, I was like, I'm freaked, like I'm freaking out.

• 11:39Brooke Averick?

  Oh my God. I'm also like so sorry to anyone that had to interact with me. I was like, I guess, I guess I can use the term crashing out. Like literally, I couldn't like contain myself. Like it was just like beside myself, truly.

• 11:55Speaker 03

  Understandably.

• 11:56Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. But anyway, that's that. He is acting like nothing happened. The second he got home from the hospital busted down the doors of the tree cabinet. So, I mean, he's on the mend. I pray. And the two of the boys are like now loving each other. So the absence makes.

• 12:12Speaker 03

  Trauma bond.

• 12:13Brooke Averick?

  Complete trauma bond. And yeah, that's it.

• 12:17Speaker 03

  It's like step brothers.

• 12:18Brooke Averick?

  Step brothers. Yeah.

• 12:20Speaker 03

  When they got in the fight and then like, maybe, maybe we're not so different, you and I.

• 12:24Brooke Averick?

  Totally.

• 12:25Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 12:25Brooke Averick?

  So that's that.

• 13:13Speaker 03

  Things are looking up.

• 13:14Brooke Averick?

  Things are looking up. Um, I mean, it's just crazy to think that if you asked me last year, I would have said, me? Not a cat person.

• 13:22Speaker 03

  Not a cat person. Now, you might have lay in front of a bullet, oncoming bullet for my cat. That's what it sounds like.

• 13:30Brooke Averick?

  With plaisir. Avec plaisir.

• 13:33Speaker 03

  What was that?

• 13:34Brooke Averick?

  With pleasure.

• 13:36Speaker 03

  Hmm.

• 13:36Brooke Averick?

  Mm-hmm.

• 13:38Speaker 03

  You threw an accent, just sprinkled that accent in. Plezier?

• 13:43Brooke Averick?

  Avec plaisir. I think that's just with pleasure in French, but it's hard to say.

• 13:48Speaker 03

  It's impossible to say.

• 13:50Brooke Averick?

  I agree.

• 13:50Speaker 03

  Some might say. Avec plaisir to you. That's good. Okay.

• 13:55Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 13:55Speaker 03

  My dad, I was gonna say, every time we got a dog, I don't know why he felt the need to share this with us, but he's like, uh, by the way, if he ever goes to the vet, Nick, it's more than $3,000. We're putting him down. I just like wanna let everybody know. I'm like, we just got him yesterday and he's a puppy, so why did you tell us that? But.

• 14:10Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I mean, it's so tough. And with the ER, like, I think that that is gonna run you more than just like the vet.

• 14:18Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 14:18Brooke Averick?

  So, I mean, literally, I like didn't, I was just like handing over my card, like without, I didn't, and it just breaks my heart that that's just like not something that I would have been able to do in the past and something that most people can't do. Makes me wanna throw up. I did throw up a lot.

• 14:35Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 14:36Brooke Averick?

  So, thank you.

• 14:39Speaker 03

  At the ER?

• 14:40Brooke Averick?

  No, I, I, once I got home, it was around the time that you were actually FaceTiming me and I couldn't look at you in the camera or speak.

• 14:46Speaker 03

  So, okay, cool. Gotcha. Cause you were head down.

• 14:49Brooke Averick?

  Head.

• 14:50Speaker 03

  Face down.

• 14:50Brooke Averick?

  Face down, ass up. Yeah.

• 14:53Speaker 03

  Um, gotcha. Okay, well.

• 14:55Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 14:56Speaker 03

  Deep breath. I, I think you seem in high spirits.

• 15:00Brooke Averick?

  Start. I'm feeling a lot better since the parasite.

• 15:03Speaker 03

  Since the parasite of it all.

• 15:04Brooke Averick?

  The parasite of it all.

• 15:06Speaker 03

  I mean, listen. Oh, I've had a, I've had a parasite when I went and I ate that street food in Austin.

• 15:14Brooke Averick?

  I've had parasites.

• 15:16Speaker 03

  Well, I think we've all had parasites. Not fun. And imagine being a cat. That's the thing that is so hard about having a pet. It's like, tell me.

• 15:23Brooke Averick?

  Tell me.

• 15:24Speaker 03

  We can't.

• 15:25Brooke Averick?

  And I mean, you should see the way I am speaking to him now, just like, like every, I wake him up every five seconds. Show me that you can stand up.

• 15:31Speaker 03

  Let a bitch know that you can stand up.

• 15:32Brooke Averick?

  Show me that you can stand up. Show me how you work. Come on. Yeah. But.

• 15:37Speaker 03

  It's frustrating. That was like, not at all similar, but like when Max got out of my yard and, um, like, he was just gone. And then at one point at like four in the morning, I had to just go to bed.

• 15:54Brooke Averick?

  Sleep is a foreign concept to me this past week. Like.

• 15:57Speaker 03

  Hell. Can I also rewind about that night and, and bring up again that the young woman who found him, kept him overnight and then posted in the morning that she found him on her story? What?

• 16:11Speaker 03

  Why didn't you post?

• 16:12Brooke Averick?

  When did she find? Was it like?

• 16:13Speaker 03

  She said, I found, I found him at like 10:00 PM.

• 16:16Brooke Averick?

  Oh, wow.

• 16:16Speaker 03

  And I was like, I was up until four.

• 16:19Brooke Averick?

  That's not ideal.

• 16:19Speaker 03

  Going to the, like the encampments on the beach at night by myself to go see if he had, someone had like picked him up.

• 16:27Brooke Averick?

  It's just crazy how quickly it turns into like, oh, my pet, my pets are, my, our pets are our children.

• 16:32Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 16:33Brooke Averick?

  And then I was like, I don't think I need biological kids at all.

• 16:37Speaker 03

  Oh my gosh. I hadn't even gotten there.

• 16:40Brooke Averick?

  Like if this is like the level of investment I have in my cats, like I don't want to know the level of investment that's possible in another human. Like, I don't think I want that.

• 16:49Speaker 03

  Really?

• 16:51Brooke Averick?

  It would be too painful to be that connected to someone.

• 16:54Speaker 03

  Oh, but darling, what if you soar?

• 16:56Brooke Averick?

  What if you soar?

• 16:57Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 16:58Brooke Averick?

  But what if you fall?

• 16:59Speaker 03

  It's always possible.

• 17:00Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 17:01Speaker 03

  What if you get a parasite?

• 17:01Brooke Averick?

  I mean, it's in God's hands.

• 17:04Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, it's in God's hands. Having a kid is, I don't, is not as much in God's, you, that's in your hands if you want to or not.

• 17:13Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I get, well, also not, like, I could end up, like, alone, in which case, well, before, here's what I'm, here's what's part is in God's hands, that part. Because before, if I was like, oh, if I'm alone, if I'm alone, I'll do, like, sperm donor, like, I'll start thinking about it at 39 and take it seriously at 40, 41.

• 17:31Speaker 03

  Wait, you have a plan?

• 17:32Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, well, that was my plan.

• 17:34Speaker 03

  Well, it's not actually.

• 17:34Brooke Averick?

  But now it's in God's hands, it's like, because maybe if, maybe I just won't do that now. So it's in God's hands, like, if he wants to set me up with someone.

• 17:41Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 17:42Brooke Averick?

  Then that's fine. And if he doesn't, then I might, I might not turn to science.

• 17:49Brooke Averick?

  I might just turn to my cats and say, it's just us, and that's fine.

• 17:52Speaker 03

  And that is fine.

• 17:54Brooke Averick?

  Just the four of us.

• 17:56Speaker 03

  It's crazy.

• 17:56Brooke Averick?

  Us, three, and the parasite.

• 17:57Speaker 03

  I hadn't, I hadn't considered that, any aspects of that, and I don't, I don't have to think about freezing my eggs either.

• 18:04Brooke Averick?

  I was just about to say, I, I have to start thinking about it.

• 18:06Speaker 03

  You have to start thinking about freezing your huevos?

• 18:08Brooke Averick?

  Mm-hmm.

• 18:09Speaker 03

  Oh, my gosh.

• 18:10Brooke Averick?

  You know they're doing brand deals for it?

• 18:11Speaker 03

  I've seen them. Someone just did one that we know.

• 18:15Brooke Averick?

  Uh, yeah, they, I think it was Serena Kerrigan.

• 18:18Speaker 03

  Was it?

• 18:19Brooke Averick?

  No.

• 18:20Speaker 03

  Taffy? Someone.

• 18:21Brooke Averick?

  I think maybe Serena, I'm not sure.

• 18:23Speaker 03

  I don't want to, like, throw names in the hat for people that froze their eggs, so I prob, I don't know.

• 18:27Brooke Averick?

  I think it might have been Serena, but, um, it feels, it does hurt in a way, or at least it's uncomfortable in a way that I don't think I, like, my body would be able to take.

• 18:37Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 18:38Brooke Averick?

  Because it's like a squeamish type of thing.

• 18:40Speaker 03

  What?

• 18:41Brooke Averick?

  Like, it would make me very squeamish.

• 18:43Speaker 03

  Now, how did, what did they?

• 18:45Brooke Averick?

  Mm-hmm. I'm not positive.

• 18:47Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 18:48Brooke Averick?

  It's, they retrieved the eggs, so you basically, you still, like,

• 18:51Speaker 03

  What does that entail?

• 18:52Brooke Averick?

  Take hormones before.

• 18:53Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 18:55Speaker 03

  Ooh, okay, wait, I get the squeamish part, it's happening to me.

• 18:58Brooke Averick?

  And, I, yeah, I don't know. Like, I think there's like a scrape, I don't know.

• 19:03Speaker 03

  Brooke, I was gonna say scrape, I was gonna use the word scrape.

• 19:06Brooke Averick?

  Cause now I'm thinking of pap smears, which is a scrape, and that's tough.

• 19:09Speaker 03

  Whoa.

• 19:10Brooke Averick?

  And, I'm thinking, oh, maybe eggs, the egg retrieval's not a scrape. Maybe it's more of just a gentle retrieval, I don't know. Izzy, can we look up, like, what is, what's the egg retrieval process like? I know you're out cold, unconscious, which is nice. But I know you're very sore after, which is, what is the squeamish part for me?

• 19:29Speaker 03

  I think that sounds like a bit of a scrape.

• 19:30Brooke Averick?

  Cause that sounds like a scrape to me.

• 19:32Speaker 03

  Yeah, let us, let us hear in the comments whether you think it's a scrape or a gentle retrieval.

• 19:36Brooke Averick?

  Sound off, okay.

• 19:38Speaker 03

  Um, prepare for an egg retriever, me at the, me at the Easter egg hunt.

• 19:43Brooke Averick?

  Eat healthy.

• 19:44Speaker 03

  Prepare for an egg retrieval, um.

• 19:47Brooke Averick?

  Okay, yeah, cause you've just stimulated the ovaries.

• 19:50Speaker 03

  Right.

• 19:50Brooke Averick?

  But what about when they're going in to get the eggs?

• 19:54Speaker 03

  Yeah, what, you're gonna get an injection.

• 19:57Brooke Averick?

  With what? What's the tool?

• 19:59Speaker 03

  This is almost out of our hands. Cause now they've brought in follicle monitoring into the mix, and I've never even heard that. Except when I'm biting my nails.

• 20:08Brooke Averick?

  During egg retrieval, a special needle, yeah, see, that's a, a special needle connected to a suction device is used to aspirate.

• 20:14Speaker 03

  Special needles connected to the suction device?

• 20:17Brooke Averick?

  Rob just got aspirated. It's used to aspirate eggs in the follicles. The needle is guided into the, yeah, there's, there's prodding. I know, there's prodding.

• 20:26Speaker 03

  It doesn't sound comfortable, and it doesn't sound gentle at all. Okay, well, good to know. That, that freezing your eggs is not just like...

• 20:32Brooke Averick?

  No, it's not just like, pot, like squeezing out an egg and putting it in the fridge.

• 20:39Brooke Averick?

  It's not just like a chicken.

• 20:41Speaker 03

  Imagine if you laid eggs, as a woman.

• 20:44Brooke Averick?

  I, you do.

• 20:45Speaker 03

  You do lay eggs.

• 20:46Brooke Averick?

  Your period, in a way.

• 20:47Speaker 03

  Oh my gosh.

• 20:48Brooke Averick?

  No, that's shedding of the uterine lining.

• 20:53Speaker 03

  Now we're, now we're cutting hairs.

• 20:56Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 20:58Brooke Averick?

  It's like, I know at one point I knew everything about the menstrual cycle. And now I don't, because I forgot it, of course.

• 21:06Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 21:06Brooke Averick?

  But it is wild that like, like, women should just like know that, but they just, not everyone does. And myself included now.

• 21:13Speaker 03

  Well, there's just a lot to learn.

• 21:14Brooke Averick?

  There's just, there's so much going on, but like, I feel like we should know it. And, and I just don't.

• 21:20Speaker 03

  They didn't, they didn't teach, you know, it was weird that my science classes had like almost nothing to do with like anatomy.

• 21:31Brooke Averick?

  I did take like-

• 21:32Speaker 03

  We took, we took Greek mythology and I don't, and I don't know how to write a check, you know? I don't own a checkbook.

• 21:40Brooke Averick?

  I don't either. It's, it's actually come up a few times recently where I've been thinking, maybe I should get a checkbook.

• 21:45Speaker 03

  I don't know what a check is.

• 21:47Brooke Averick?

  None of our business.

• 21:48Speaker 03

  It's out of my hands.

• 21:50Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 21:50Speaker 03

  It's literally out of my hands. I don't own a checkbook.

• 21:53Brooke Averick?

  I don't either, but in, I, you can just go to the bank and ask for a check.

• 21:57Speaker 03

  I don't know.

• 21:57Brooke Averick?

  Which I'm not gonna do.

• 21:58Speaker 03

  I don't know where the bank is. I don't know.

• 22:00Brooke Averick?

  I know. I know. It's so hard. It's so hard. I validate you.

• 22:06Speaker 03

  Thanks.

• 22:07Brooke Averick?

  And I'm in the same boat.

• 22:08Speaker 03

  Do you have a real ID?

• 22:10Brooke Averick?

  I do. I got that when I got my California license.

• 22:13Speaker 03

  Yeah, I gotta, I think I have one.

• 22:15Brooke Averick?

  But they've been edging us, like, since 2015, saying, you need your real ID by next October or you can't get on the plane. Then it's, oh, you need your neck, your real ID by 20, like 17, oh, you need your real ID by 2020. And then it keeps getting pushed back.

• 22:32Speaker 03

  We were, uh, at the airport. Aiden's here in the back and

• 22:39Brooke Averick?

  Hey, Aiden.

• 22:41Speaker 03

  He had, he signed up for clear-

• 22:43Brooke Averick?

  Did, Aiden, did you do T-Mobile too?

• 22:45Speaker 05

  Yes, I was kind enough to be Connor's guest.

• 22:49Brooke Averick?

  Love it.

• 22:49Speaker 03

  Yeah. Post Malone was incredible. Um, Jelly Roll opened for-

• 22:53Brooke Averick?

  Jelly Roll.

• 22:54Speaker 03

  Jelly Roll is- Like, where did he come from? Where did he go? Where did he come from, Cotton Eye Jelly?

• 23:01Brooke Averick?

  I had only heard of him for the first time at Coachella.

• 23:03Speaker 03

  He was, he's so, so good. He has the voice of like a thousand angels.

• 23:08Brooke Averick?

  Really? I haven't heard it.

• 23:10Speaker 03

  It's really, it's like.

• 23:13Speaker 03

  It's like really good.

• 23:14Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 23:15Speaker 03

  Like, he hits notes that like, I didn't know were there.

• 23:17Brooke Averick?

  Why'd you go Kermit in that moment?

• 23:19Speaker 03

  Well, I was trying, like, I wanted to do like a more guttural.

• 23:24Speaker 03

  Like, that kind of thing. That's like Jelly Roll vibes.

• 23:28Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 23:28Speaker 03

  Yeah, I'm sure.

• 23:31Speaker 03

  I'm sure, well, I wasn't graced with the gift of song.

• 23:35Speaker 03

  I wish I was Ella Enchanted and I had one gift from my fairy godmother. And it was the gift of song.

• 23:43Brooke Averick?

  If you really could, when it comes down to it, pick one talent? Would that be it?

• 23:48Speaker 03

  One talent that's not magic, right? Like, I, you get one.

• 23:51Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, magic's not a talent. Magic is an ability, like, a special ability.

• 23:55Speaker 03

  You know, I, it's a toss-up between the gift of song. I would love to hit a note. I think that that probably feels so good. Like, I bet, that's a feeling, isn't it weird? That's a feeling I'll never experience. It's like really hitting a.

• 24:12Brooke Averick?

  Wait, I saw someone say somewhere that you have a good voice.

• 24:16Speaker 03

  It was you. You always say that, and I don't know.

• 24:18Brooke Averick?

  No, I saw someone else say it. I don't know if it was like on the Brooke and Connor Facebook page or in a comment, but someone said, wait, Connor can actually sing.

• 24:27Speaker 03

  I can't actually sing.

• 24:29Brooke Averick?

  I, I've always said that you can, and someone else said that as well.

• 24:32Speaker 03

  You have always said that I can sing?

• 24:34Brooke Averick?

  I don't think you've tried.

• 24:38Speaker 03

  Should I get a singing coach?

• 24:39Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Why not?

• 24:41Speaker 03

  I don't know. I don't know, why not? Maybe I will.

• 24:44Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 24:45Speaker 03

  I feel like I'm dreaming right now. Oh, I drank that can. Whoa, I was like, am I about to?

• 24:49Brooke Averick?

  Did you finish it?

• 24:50Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah, I finished it so fast, it tastes so good.

• 24:52Brooke Averick?

  Wow.

• 24:52Speaker 03

  But I just full-blown was like,

• 24:56Speaker 03

  how the hell am I here? I don't, am I about to pass out? No, I had a can.

• 25:02Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. I, you know, I have to go slow when there's bubbles.

• 25:05Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 25:06Brooke Averick?

  But I do like the taste.

• 25:07Speaker 03

  Those are, these are like minimally carbonated, but they're, they're good. Um, I'm also a little out of it because the hotel that I stayed at, this is my second time staying there. Um, it's Hotel Irwin in Venice, if anybody's familiar.

• 25:22Speaker 03

  They?

• 25:24Speaker 03

  So like last night, I'm going to bed and that starting at like 4pm. There was about 15 people in the room above me doing some sort of

• 25:35Brooke Averick?

  Bowling?

• 25:35Speaker 03

  Bowling, um, a jig and the way that the pace that they were running, it was running. I was, it was giving child, but it was giving a child with, of, of great stature. Because the weight of their footsteps were like boom, boom, boom. Like it was shaking things in, in my room. It went until one in the morning. And then it stopped. And then it started. Then it started again at like 4:45 in the morning.

• 26:11Speaker 03

  And I'm up on my bed at 4:45 banging on the ceiling. And then I, I keep calling down the front desk, they're not answering. I get dressed at 4:45 in the morning.

• 26:22Speaker 03

  And then I realized it's, it, it, it has to be several adults and they're like partying.

• 26:28Speaker 03

  On like a Sunday night, I guess it's Cinco de Mayo, but.

• 26:31Brooke Averick?

  It wasn't last night.

• 26:32Speaker 03

  I know.

• 26:33Brooke Averick?

  Do you, is there Cinco de Mayo Eve?

• 26:36Speaker 03

  I don't know.

• 26:37Brooke Averick?

  Quatro de Mayo?

• 26:38Speaker 03

  Quatro de Mayo.

• 26:39Brooke Averick?

  Eve?

• 26:42Speaker 03

  The Eve.

• 26:42Brooke Averick?

  Good evening.

• 26:43Speaker 03

  Cinco.

• 26:44Brooke Averick?

  Uh, yeah.

• 26:46Speaker 03

  It was so horrible. I went to the front desk and they were like, we'll call them and let them know. And then I got back upstairs and they were silent for like

• 26:56Speaker 03

  15 minutes and then it started up and they were like galloping. It was the craziest thing like it, it's not like some, and they're like throwing stuff. I get up, I, I call again and I go, they're not doing anything. They go, sir, I can't, I can't call them. It's too early in the morning for me to call them. And I go, I'm banging on my ceiling to make them stop. He goes, sir, we, we really like to keep the interactions between guests minimal. You can't be knocking on your ceiling. I go, they're galloping. I need to knock on my ceiling. So I'm a little bit out of it because of that too.

• 27:27Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I'm sorry. That's the worst.

• 27:29Speaker 03

  The lack of sleep, flying in from Vegas yesterday and then having 15 adult men galloping on, on my forehead on all evening. Pause.

• 27:39Brooke Averick?

  It's fine to say.

• 27:42Speaker 03

  You don't want to say that there were 15 men galloping on your forehead.

• 27:45Brooke Averick?

  You can if you want to.

• 27:46Speaker 03

  Okay, I can.

• 27:47Brooke Averick?

  That's my new thing. It's just like any, like just always saying, you can do that if you want to.

• 27:50Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 27:51Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 27:51Speaker 03

  Yeah, they were got, yeah, 15 men in my hotel.

• 27:54Brooke Averick?

  You can say that if you want to.

• 27:55Speaker 03

  Were galloping on my forehead.

• 27:56Brooke Averick?

  You can say that if you want to.

• 27:57Speaker 03

  There, I said it.

• 27:58Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 27:59Speaker 03

  Oh, feels good to get that off my chest. But now they're like, okay, if you hear it again, we'll move your room.

• 28:03Brooke Averick?

  Some people just have lead feet. I'm one of them, I think, which probably doesn't surprise you because that feels like something that, like my chewing and like sucking on the water bottle translates to loud clomping.

• 28:15Speaker 03

  I do think that you do clonk around.

• 28:17Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, my parents would always have a really hard time because my room was above them. And they would always text like, what are you, what could you possibly be doing? And I really was just walking like, and not like thinking that I was making noise. Some people just have a heavy trod.

• 28:32Speaker 03

  I, listen, I don't mind about the heavy trod. Galloping is another thing, like the pace, I can't explain the pace of these men.

• 28:39Brooke Averick?

  Mm hmm, like.

• 28:40Speaker 03

  They were like, it was like running, and I'm like, the rooms are small, like, where are you going? Running with, with like intense urgency to the door and then back to the window, then back to the door. I'm like, they're playing tag.

• 28:53Speaker 03

  It's just, it was like the most insane, like you're going crazy.

• 28:56Brooke Averick?

  Because you put your AirPods in?

• 28:58Speaker 03

  Um, I had my white noise all the way up and I had wedged my head sandwich style.

• 29:03Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 29:04Speaker 03

  Hamburger style into two pillows.

• 29:07Brooke Averick?

  Sometimes you can still feel it, too.

• 29:08Speaker 03

  No, it was shaking things in my room.

• 29:10Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 29:13Brooke Averick?

  That's tough. I'm really sorry. I'm also out of it, but sometimes two outs make an in.

• 29:19Speaker 03

  Belly button style.

• 29:20Brooke Averick?

  Aye.

• 29:21Speaker 03

  Now.

• 29:23Speaker 03

  I, um, not us having an out of it competition. I started last week.

• 29:29Brooke Averick?

  It's good that we just drank it canned, too. That could only help.

• 29:33Speaker 03

  We're gonna. Not make any, I don't think we finished like one, one story today. We talked about like the, the uterine lining for like about 10 minutes to start the show. It's like parasites, freezing your eggs, and men in my hotel room.

• 29:50Brooke Averick?

  I was gonna tell you something about the werewolf shifter community. It's very sexual.

• 29:57Speaker 03

  Oh, why not?

• 29:58Brooke Averick?

  And so I was thinking about it on the way here and then I decided not to tell you because both of our dads listen to the podcast and I wouldn't be comfortable with saying it in front of either of them.

• 30:06Speaker 03

  Are you able to use any sort of euphemisms in this and then I could draw my own conclusions?

• 30:10Brooke Averick?

  Okay, so what happened was, as you are well aware, I've been reading books with romance novels with the cartoon characters on the front.

• 30:19Speaker 03

  Right.

• 30:19Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 30:19Speaker 03

  Like, like nine of them.

• 30:21Brooke Averick?

  Nonstop addicted, can't stop, eating them like candy, okay? The one I just read was paranormal, it's called Bride, okay?

• 30:30Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 30:30Brooke Averick?

  Vampire, spelled V-A-M-P-Y-R-E. Okay?

• 30:34Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 30:35Brooke Averick?

  X, like werewolf. And these, when I say this, it's like they're both like human presenting, they're not, they're kind of like a variation of a human, but you know, they have those like traditional vampiric and, and wolfish traits. And also the werewolf, that's the man in the scenario, the male main character, um, he can shift, okay? Into werewolf form, like Twilight, okay? So they're like humans, but you know, a little bit of extra sauce there, okay? So, I didn't know that there's something called the Omegaverse, did you?

• 31:10Speaker 03

  Uh-uh, first I'm hearing.

• 31:12Brooke Averick?

  So that's like the werewolf, like, fanfiction, like universe, it's like a big thing, which I didn't know about. A lot of werewolf shifting fanfiction. And in that, it's sexual, of course.

• 31:27Speaker 03

  Why, yeah.

• 31:29Brooke Averick?

  There's something about the wolf anatomy that that is present in these books.

• 31:38Speaker 03

  Because the werewolf.

• 31:39Brooke Averick?

  Really, all of them during the sex scenes that I didn't know was coming and I didn't see it coming in this book. I didn't know it's like a thing and the thing is that I don't want to describe it to you because our dads are listening.

• 31:53Speaker 03

  Is it huge throbbing cock?

• 31:56Brooke Averick?

  It that's like separate. It's related, but there's something on it. We actually had to Google.

• 32:04Speaker 03

  Like now I'm like, yeah, I want to wash my mouth out.

• 32:06Brooke Averick?

  It's okay. You can say that if you want.

• 32:08Speaker 03

  God, thanks. Okay, like that opens up a whole new world. Okay, so there's something present on the appendage.

• 32:17Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 32:20Brooke Averick?

  I like I was shell shocked.

• 32:22Speaker 03

  That that like I almost said dogs.

• 32:25Brooke Averick?

  I was shell shocked. I was like, this is, is this happening? And then it turns out it's just like a thing of werewolf shifter in the werewolf shifting community that I should have known. Like I asked my friend, like, what's going on? And she was like, oh yeah, that's just, it's called nodding.

• 32:40Brooke Averick?

  What it is, what it is, what it is, huh? What's up?

• 32:48Brooke Averick?

  But I don't want to tell you about it because it's it's really took me back.

• 32:54Speaker 03

  Can you tell me and then we'll just bleep over the whole thing?

• 32:58Brooke Averick?

  No, I almost can't.

• 33:00Speaker 03

  Text it to me.

• 33:03Speaker 03

  Or we could use Google Gemini.

• 33:07Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, we could, but the problem is I don't want to say it because I don't want my dad to hear it. Oh, it's the alphas.

• 33:16Brooke Averick?

  Wait, I don't know if it's just the male werewolf alphas. Wait.

• 33:19Speaker 03

  Oh, my gosh.

• 33:20Brooke Averick?

  Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

• 33:21Speaker 03

  We're talking milliliters.

• 33:22Brooke Averick?

  No, it's not. It's not anything to do with that. Yeah, wait. See the words is note. Wait, I didn't know that the females could not too.

• 33:33Brooke Averick?

  The cloaca, this isn't what was happening. So it's usually the alpha. But now I'm confused if this has happened to real wolf alphas.

• 33:42Speaker 03

  I don't.

• 33:43Brooke Averick?

  I know it happens to real wolves, but I didn't know they were real alphas. So basically what happens?

• 33:51Brooke Averick?

  I'm gonna talk about it like the actual wolf.

• 33:53Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 33:54Brooke Averick?

  So it will be science and less sexual, so maybe I'll feel better about it.

• 33:57Speaker 03

  You don't even have to make direct eye contact to me when you're telling it.

• 34:00Brooke Averick?

  It's like in wolves.

• 34:04Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 34:04Brooke Averick?

  Izzy, can you look up wolf anatomy? Not?

• 34:11Brooke Averick?

  Okay, wolf.

• 34:12Speaker 03

  Google Gemini did, by the way, step up and.

• 34:14Brooke Averick?

  Let's see, let's see. Wait, sorry, can you go back to just the like? Yeah. So during mating, immediately before ejaculation, the tissues swell up to lock.

• 34:30Brooke Averick?

  Lock the.

• 34:31Speaker 03

  Pop lock and.

• 34:32Brooke Averick?

  The appendage, lock it. And lock it in.

• 34:36Speaker 03

  Lock in.

• 34:37Brooke Averick?

  So that is what happens to wolves in real life. So this is just me telling you science.

• 34:43Brooke Averick?

  I didn't know that was gonna translate to the, to my books. That's what I'll say.

• 34:47Speaker 03

  Okay, so it's taking. Now, at what point in your books does it turn into bestiality? Because the anatomy being the same.

• 34:54Brooke Averick?

  They were in human form. They were in human form.

• 34:56Speaker 03

  Not the penis, was it?

• 34:57Brooke Averick?

  That, well, obviously, there was some of the wolf present in the human form.

• 35:03Speaker 03

  Right.

• 35:04Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, wolf DNA. That only happened, though, because that was his mate. Like, he would only, he would only ever not for his mate. You don't just not for anyone.

• 35:14Speaker 03

  Yeah, we're not just, we're not just nodding willy-nilly.

• 35:18Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. So, and like, because I was updating on Goodreads as I was reading this book and before I even got to any of those parts, everyone was commenting like, oh, you're not gonna believe this, like, spelled K-N-O-T. And I was like, what is everyone talking about?

• 35:33Speaker 03

  They're gonna tie the knot, they're gonna get married.

• 35:34Brooke Averick?

  I was like, what is everyone talking about?

• 35:36Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 35:36Brooke Averick?

  Okay, then I got to it. Whoa. And I, even when they were describing what was happening, I could not visualize. I had to Google.

• 35:43Speaker 03

  I am able to visualize.

• 35:44Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, it was described, I was having a challenge. Anyway, that's something that I've been, that's been. I've been having to mull over.

• 35:53Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 35:53Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. I don't think that it's something that I will seek out ever again. I think I'm gonna read the sequel.

• 36:00Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 36:00Brooke Averick?

  Because I care about the politics of the vampire werewolf communities. And, you know, we'll just see what happens.

• 36:07Speaker 03

  Of course, see it through.

• 36:08Brooke Averick?

  Of course, see it through, but I just wanted you to know that that's something that I've been going through.

• 36:13Speaker 03

  I was right, my original guess, by the way.

• 36:15Brooke Averick?

  What was your original guess?

• 36:16Speaker 03

  Big throbbing cock.

• 36:18Brooke Averick?

  I mean, it's a part of it.

• 36:21Speaker 03

  Right, the, yeah.

• 36:23Brooke Averick?

  At the base, yeah, thank you.

• 36:26Speaker 03

  Bulbus Glandis.

• 36:28Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 36:28Speaker 03

  Beautiful name for a young man. Oh, this is my son Bulbus Glandis. Thank you.

• 36:36Speaker 03

  Bulbus Glandis?

• 36:38Brooke Averick?

  So.

• 36:39Speaker 03

  Get up off of that thing.

• 36:40Brooke Averick?

  Dogs don't do that, right?

• 36:43Speaker 03

  We don't even have to.

• 36:45Brooke Averick?

  No.

• 36:46Speaker 03

  Yes, dogs.

• 36:47Brooke Averick?

  Oh, not in their fur.

• 36:49Speaker 03

  Do and off and get knots in their fur.

• 36:52Speaker 03

  That's not where that's supposed to be.

• 36:53Brooke Averick?

  Dogs do not, or become physically joined during mating.

• 37:00Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 37:00Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, that's so Max, Max could not before he.

• 37:04Speaker 03

  He could not not because he is fixed.

• 37:07Brooke Averick?

  But he could have if he found his mate. I don't know if he's an alpha.

• 37:11Speaker 03

  Max is very submissive. I think he's gay, but.

• 37:15Brooke Averick?

  You can be gay, a gay Dom.

• 37:17Speaker 03

  That's right. Oh, my God, you can if you want to.

• 37:19Brooke Averick?

  You can literally be a gay Dom if you want to.

• 37:21Speaker 03

  My bad, I forgot about gay Dom.

• 37:24Speaker 03

  No, but I do unrelated to being very submissive. I do think he's also gay.

• 37:28Brooke Averick?

  John is gay.

• 37:29Speaker 03

  He's also a young gay man.

• 37:29Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 37:31Speaker 03

  He actually.

• 37:34Speaker 03

  Yeah, he's gay. He's gay. He only humps guy dogs and men.

• 37:38Brooke Averick?

  John only, yeah.

• 37:40Speaker 03

  He seeks male companionship.

• 37:42Brooke Averick?

  You should, when we evacuated, we had four cats between all of us, which is like insane because cats typically hate each other. But I mean, the way that John was humping Cheddar.

• 37:53Speaker 03

  That's cute.

• 37:54Brooke Averick?

  It was adorable and he did not like Sodhi's girls.

• 37:57Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 37:57Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, he was like, get that. I don't want, I don't fuck with that.

• 38:01Speaker 03

  Pussy.

• 38:02Brooke Averick?

  I don't fuck with that shit, but he really liked Cheddar.

• 38:13Speaker 02

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

• 38:36Speaker 00

  Your sausage McMuffin with egg didn't change. Your receipt did. The sausage McMuffin with egg extra value meal includes a hash brown and a small coffee for just $5. Only at McDonald's for a limited time.

• 38:48Speaker 01

  Price and participation may vary. Promotion pricing may be lower than meal pricing.

• 38:52Speaker 03

  I've said pussy and throbbing cock on here. I need to stop today. I'm seriously in timeout for a second.

• 38:57Brooke Averick?

  That's fine to be in if you want.

• 39:00Speaker 03

  All right, I'm back. I went to Charli XCX last week.

• 39:04Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, tell me.

• 39:05Speaker 03

  So our friend Emma is an angel and gave me and like, put four of, five of us on the list. I am very, I love Charli XCX. I don't, I'm not like the biggest listener of that kind of music because it gets my heart rate up too high. But I could not wait to go to the show. This is the most fun I've ever had in my life.

• 39:32Brooke Averick?

  I also like do not typically gravitate towards that type of music and don't go out of my way to listen to Charli, even though I do think she's like so cool. It's just, you know, I'm doing show tunes and shit like that. But every time I've gone, like I went to Brat because of Emma and saw her at Coachella. I have had a blast. Like it really does just kind of like infiltrate the, the blood system.

• 39:58Speaker 03

  I totally get it now. I had, it was, it was so much fun. The crowd was amazing. Even before the music that they were playing on the playlist before was like Bittersweet Symphony. By the Verve and everyone in the crowd was just so fun and like they're to have fun. I'm like meeting people in the crowd.

• 40:14Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 40:14Speaker 03

  People are coming out. It was just such a good vibe and you're right. Like I, I don't, I don't enjoy my time at clubs and that sounds like club music to me. That, if that came out of the club now, yeah, I'm locked in.

• 40:25Brooke Averick?

  I think so.

• 40:26Speaker 03

  I'm not, I'm not completely.

• 40:28Brooke Averick?

  Also.

• 40:29Speaker 03

  Those around me.

• 40:30Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, totally. Not to objectify Charlie. She's a wonderful to look at. Like she's like a modern art piece, like just the way she exists in her body.

• 40:42Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 40:42Brooke Averick?

  And like owns it and just like commands the room.

• 40:45Speaker 03

  She's the only one on stage the whole time.

• 40:47Brooke Averick?

  She's just, there's really, I just really, she's a cool girl.

• 40:50Speaker 03

  I have to say, all these shows recently and what's, it's gonna sound like I'm pitting women against each other. So I'm gonna throw a guy in there too. Post Malone's production.

• 41:04Speaker 03

  Taylor Swift's production, that's really high product. She goes out there with just her body and the graphic design is a wort. Oh, is it like Bratz summer over? She probably saves so much money and it's so cool looking.

• 41:17Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 41:18Speaker 03

  And it's just like not, the production is very, very simple. Everyone's so much fun. That was, that was such a blast. I was like, I don't want to leave. I talked about it for three days, but listen to this. Go from that next morning, Aiden and I fly out to Vegas. I go, let's take it easy. Cause we just went to the Brat tour. Get a text from my friend Danielle. Wanna come to G Eazy tonight? I thought G Eazy had passed away. I'd forgot about him. He's released no music. He was on the radio.

• 41:51Brooke Averick?

  What is something that I would know of his work?

• 41:59Speaker 03

  I don't think you would know any of G Eazy's work. I don't know if, I don't think it's come across your desk. Um, I got too tired.

• 42:06Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 42:07Speaker 03

  Before he came out, because he did one of those things where it's like coming out at one, coming out at 1:30, coming out at 2. And it was like a Vegas thing. I was like, I'm going home.

• 42:15Brooke Averick?

  Good for you. Sometimes you can do that.

• 42:17Speaker 03

  Yeah, I needed to. And then the next night, we went to, that was the Post Malone night. So I saw, kind of saw

• 42:26Speaker 03

  Charli XCX, G Eazy, and Post Malone in the, in three days.

• 42:30Brooke Averick?

  You didn't go to G Eazy though, right?

• 42:32Speaker 03

  I went to the show. I left before he came out.

• 42:34Brooke Averick?

  Okay, yeah. So you had a Coachella of sorts?

• 42:37Speaker 03

  I did. It was two, it was two headliners of Coachella.

• 42:40Brooke Averick?

  Do you know that, um, I almost, me and Sodi almost drove to Stagecoach for just the performance of, uh, Iris by Goo Goo Dolls?

• 42:51Speaker 03

  I wouldn't have blamed you at all. I would have just flown here for that.

• 42:54Brooke Averick?

  Get tickets.

• 42:56Speaker 03

  Wow.

• 42:57Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 42:58Speaker 03

  Man.

• 42:59Brooke Averick?

  But I would have done it if I had it.

• 43:00Speaker 03

  I bet it was.

• 43:00Brooke Averick?

  Just two hours there, Iris, two hours back.

• 43:03Speaker 03

  I'm good with that. Check in, check out.

• 43:05Brooke Averick?

  Check in, check out.

• 43:06Speaker 03

  You don't even need a hotel room. You just park.

• 43:07Brooke Averick?

  Literally.

• 43:08Speaker 03

  Wow, yeah. I would have done that.

• 43:09Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 43:09Speaker 03

  Did, they, they filmed it, obviously. We have to watch that in the bonus. I didn't see it. I forgot that.

• 43:14Brooke Averick?

  I guess, yeah, they do film that.

• 43:15Speaker 03

  It's on.

• 43:16Brooke Averick?

  I bet they've still got it.

• 43:17Speaker 03

  People livestream it.

• 43:17Brooke Averick?

  Like, seriously, in a big way.

• 43:20Speaker 03

  I'm gonna get to a point where I'm watching Coachella, like, from bed, and I'm just watching it on the TV. I can't.

• 43:27Brooke Averick?

  That's fine by me.

• 43:28Speaker 03

  I'll never, I, I'm not good at going to concerts, honestly.

• 43:31Brooke Averick?

  Who, if was, they were headlining Coachella, would you go for, out of your way to go for?

• 43:36Speaker 03

  Fleetwood Mac.

• 43:36Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 43:37Speaker 03

  Um, Lil Wayne, Miley Cyrus.

• 43:41Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 43:42Speaker 03

  Tom mesh.

• 43:44Brooke Averick?

  I don't see that for him.

• 43:46Speaker 03

  He will, he will probably never be invited. I love him to death.

• 43:50Brooke Averick?

  I know, he's a great guy.

• 43:51Speaker 03

  What about you?

• 43:53Brooke Averick?

  The 1975.

• 43:54Speaker 03

  Uh huh.

• 43:55Brooke Averick?

  I would love if they just did a Broadway cast. For one of the nights. I don't think, I don't see that.

• 44:00Speaker 03

  I bought a Broadway ticket today. Isn't that funny?

• 44:02Brooke Averick?

  No, you did not.

• 44:03Speaker 03

  For next week, yeah. Next Wednesday. Oh, Mary.

• 44:06Brooke Averick?

  Are you serious?

• 44:06Speaker 03

  Yeah, I wanna see it. I'm going alone.

• 44:08Brooke Averick?

  Oh, my God, that's great. That's supposed to be the most fabulous play.

• 44:12Speaker 03

  I heard it's really great. It won a Grammy or something.

• 44:14Brooke Averick?

  And it's short, which is nice. Short and sweet. There's no, there's no music.

• 44:16Speaker 03

  It's 80 minutes. There's no intermission.

• 44:17Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Um, yeah, okay, well. Tell us how that is for sure.

• 44:21Speaker 03

  I will.

• 44:22Brooke Averick?

  You still need to go see Little Shop of Horrors.

• 44:23Speaker 03

  Yeah, I'm going to. I texted Milo. I was like, I wanna come. Um. And he's like, then you should.

• 44:30Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 44:31Speaker 03

  Like, buy a ticket.

• 44:33Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, you should buy a ticket.

• 44:34Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah.

• 44:35Brooke Averick?

  You should.

• 44:35Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 44:36Brooke Averick?

  Um, oh, my God, you're so good.

• 44:38Speaker 03

  We should have him on the podcast.

• 44:38Brooke Averick?

  I.

• 44:41Brooke Averick?

  I'll be there. Um, I will confirm be there in June.

• 44:45Speaker 03

  I'm gonna ask him.

• 44:47Brooke Averick?

  I might, I might not be good at that. I'm gonna let you know right now.

• 44:49Speaker 03

  Oh, come on.

• 44:51Brooke Averick?

  But, um, anyway.

• 44:52Speaker 03

  I wonder if you would come on. Milo, will you come on the podcast?

• 44:55Brooke Averick?

  No, stop. You're making me shy.

• 44:56Speaker 03

  Ooh. Well, I made me itchy.

• 44:59Brooke Averick?

  What were we talking about?

• 45:00Speaker 03

  Uh, hell no.

• 45:03Speaker 03

  Hell no, we won't go.

• 45:05Brooke Averick?

  To what? Oh, Coachella.

• 45:06Speaker 03

  Coachella.

• 45:07Brooke Averick?

  Okay, so, yeah, I would like.

• 45:08Speaker 03

  Coachella.

• 45:09Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I would do any sort of Broadway casts, one of the nights.

• 45:12Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 45:13Brooke Averick?

  I would do Miley.

• 45:15Speaker 03

  Yeah, that was one of the best shows I've genuinely ever seen in my life. Rock star.

• 45:22Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 45:22Speaker 03

  It's crazy.

• 45:23Brooke Averick?

  She's a complete rock star.

• 45:24Speaker 03

  Thinking about her, like, quote unquote, crash out years.

• 45:28Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, it wasn't even a crash out. She was just exploring.

• 45:31Speaker 03

  It was a little bit Jojo Siwa coded. She was just kinda like being so

• 45:38Speaker 03

  vulgar, like, and some pulling weed out of her.

• 45:41Brooke Averick?

  And you know what I'm gonna say?

• 45:43Speaker 03

  You can if you want to.

• 45:44Brooke Averick?

  If you want to, you can do that.

• 45:46Speaker 03

  Yeah, I, I mean, I was enjoying it at the time. I was like, that's great. But looking back, I wonder if she looks back at that and is like, what?

• 45:51Brooke Averick?

  I think she literally, like, had to. Like, as a Disney star, like, she was like, I had need to go so far the opposite way cuz she felt so stuck.

• 46:00Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 46:01Brooke Averick?

  And then she recalibrated.

• 46:03Speaker 03

  Just a quick reset.

• 46:04Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 46:05Speaker 03

  Oh, at the Charli XCX show, I bought a young woman a High Noon so I could put on her fur boots for a photo. I want to give her a shout out because that was really nice of you. She's standing barefoot in Barclays Center and I'm wearing her boots.

• 46:19Brooke Averick?

  You had the same size shoes?

• 46:19Speaker 03

  Uh-uh, I shoved my foot in her boots.

• 46:22Brooke Averick?

  What size foot are you? Is that how you ask that question? What size shoe are you?

• 46:27Speaker 03

  What size foot are you? There I am.

• 46:31Speaker 03

  So fun.

• 46:34Speaker 03

  I am a nine and a half.

• 46:37Brooke Averick?

  Good job.

• 46:38Speaker 03

  Someone argue that's small? I said compared to what?

• 46:41Brooke Averick?

  What foot do you think I am?

• 46:43Speaker 03

  What foot me?

• 46:45Brooke Averick?

  What size shoe do you think I am? You might not get it.

• 46:48Speaker 03

  I think you're a six.

• 46:49Brooke Averick?

  It's surprising. I'm actually a seven.

• 46:52Speaker 03

  I did know that and I don't know why.

• 46:54Brooke Averick?

  But which is kind of big for my stature.

• 46:57Speaker 03

  That is big.

• 46:57Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 46:58Speaker 03

  Were you above me in my hotel last night?

• 47:01Brooke Averick?

  Uh-uh. Not last night.

• 47:05Brooke Averick?

  I have been to that hotel on the roof.

• 47:09Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 47:10Brooke Averick?

  Why are you looking at me like that?

• 47:11Speaker 03

  Randomly, like...

• 47:14Brooke Averick?

  It was not me last night.

• 47:16Speaker 03

  No, I know it wasn't you stumbling around. I'm just talking about the rooftop is like randomly like not cool.

• 47:22Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I'm sorry. I had a good time. You're mad.

• 47:28Speaker 03

  I'm mad? No, I'm not mad. What would I be mad about?

• 47:31Brooke Averick?

  The rooftop.

• 47:32Speaker 03

  I'm not mad at the rooftop. Just the vibes have been off every... And I think it's probably me that brought the vibe off first.

• 47:39Brooke Averick?

  Shoot.

• 47:40Speaker 03

  I have a couple other things.

• 47:41Brooke Averick?

  Okay, me too. You go first.

• 47:42Speaker 03

  Oh, go ahead. You go ahead. I'm gonna pull up my napkin.

• 47:44Brooke Averick?

  Well, actually, I was just gonna say something about Miley Cyrus really quick. You know how she dated Patrick Schwarzenegger? Patrick Schwarzenegger?

• 47:52Speaker 03

  Did she?

• 47:53Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. I think like right as she was coming out of that like bangers era.

• 47:58Speaker 03

  What?

• 47:59Brooke Averick?

  And she wrote a song about him.

• 48:01Speaker 03

  Looks like twins.

• 48:02Brooke Averick?

  Forget what it was called, but basically in it, it's like after they broke up. She was like singing about how he would do baby talk. Which like makes a lot of sense to me, but I think it's sweet. It's actually not like turning me off from him. It's like endearing.

• 48:19Speaker 03

  Are you turned on by him?

• 48:20Brooke Averick?

  No, I wouldn't say that. Like, I'm not, not overly. I think he's cute. But I'm not like addicted. But it endears me to him rather than pushes me away from him.

• 48:30Speaker 03

  The baby talk?

• 48:31Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, cuz it's just like, alright, that like, she's singing a song about her ex and like that was the problem. Like, that's not, that's like a sweet, you know?

• 48:40Brooke Averick?

  Like, usually like when you sing about an ex, like this, they fuck you, you know? But it's just like, hey, he did baby talk. He can if he wants to.

• 48:48Speaker 03

  Doing baby talk to Miley Cyrus?

• 48:52Brooke Averick?

  I mean, is it ideal? No. But it's a lot, it's a lot nicer than what a lot of other songs about your ex are about, you know? It endeared me to him. I don't know. But also bars on the floor, obviously.

• 49:05Speaker 03

  Okay, he does baby talk to you, he goes, "Hi, baby, baby."

• 49:08Brooke Averick?

  But he's a 10.

• 49:09Speaker 03

  "Are you hungry?"

• 49:11Brooke Averick?

  I think people don't understand the game. Like, if this person is a 10, then that's fine.

• 49:17Speaker 03

  No, because it's a sign of-

• 49:18Brooke Averick?

  They're perfect in every way.

• 49:19Speaker 03

  It's a sign of larger issues.

• 49:21Brooke Averick?

  No, but that's what I'm saying. There are no larger issues if this, if he's perfect in every way.

• 49:26Speaker 03

  No, you just haven't found them yet.

• 49:29Brooke Averick?

  But you're saying he's perfect in every way, like, and he will remain to be perfect in every way.

• 49:33Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 49:33Brooke Averick?

  But-

• 49:35Speaker 03

  I can rephrase it then.

• 49:36Brooke Averick?

  Okay, rephrase it. He seems perfect in every way, but he starts baby talking.

• 49:41Speaker 03

  Yes!

• 49:43Brooke Averick?

  And it might be a sign of a bigger issue.

• 49:45Speaker 03

  I think there's under, I think there's, yeah, I think there's more things at play if, if an adult is baby talking you.

• 49:51Brooke Averick?

  I do too.

• 49:51Speaker 03

  I get if you're blinded by love and then that's what you guys do. But I do, I mean, I, on like a Freudian level, I think that's weird, like-

• 50:00Brooke Averick?

  I think if I were in that situation, and I was like close with this person, I would say, ew, stop.

• 50:08Brooke Averick?

  Right?

• 50:08Speaker 03

  But like, they did it. You know, like, that was something that they wanted to do.

• 50:11Brooke Averick?

  They did it and it's not ideal. But it's over.

• 50:16Speaker 03

  Wow, so he's, he's in, he's not a hero at all. He's a zero.

• 50:21Brooke Averick?

  What?

• 50:22Speaker 03

  He's not a hero, he's a zero.

• 50:24Brooke Averick?

  What do you mean?

• 50:27Speaker 03

  Does that not connect for any of it? He's, he's not a hero, he's a zero.

• 50:33Speaker 03

  He's not a hero, he's a zero.

• 50:35Brooke Averick?

  Why would he be a zero? I said it's fine.

• 50:37Speaker 03

  You're breaking up, I thought you said.

• 50:38Brooke Averick?

  No!

• 50:39Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 50:39Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I'm sorry, the problem is over, not our relationship.

• 50:43Speaker 03

  You've squashed the beef.

• 50:44Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 50:45Speaker 03

  You've squashed the baby.

• 50:46Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 50:46Speaker 03

  And him.

• 50:47Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 50:48Speaker 03

  Hmm, I don't know, I don't think I'd ever be able to shake it. Hi, baby.

• 50:53Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I mean, it's not good, but.

• 50:55Speaker 03

  Is that baby talk?

• 50:56Brooke Averick?

  But.

• 50:57Speaker 03

  Or is baby talk like?

• 51:00Brooke Averick?

  I think there's different branches.

• 51:02Speaker 03

  Legislative, judicial. And baby university.

• 51:06Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 51:07Speaker 03

  Uh, yeah. It's gonna be a no from me, comma, dog?

• 51:11Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I would imagine that that would get you. But I think that you're less forgiving than me in these types of situations.

• 51:17Speaker 03

  Yeah. You're romantic.

• 51:19Brooke Averick?

  I'm romantic. What can I say?

• 51:22Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 51:22Brooke Averick?

  Speaking of, this is a great segue.

• 51:27Brooke Averick?

  Book Talk is exploding. Uh, there's a, cause there's a new sheriff in town.

• 51:31Speaker 03

  I.

• 51:32Brooke Averick?

  Did you see this?

• 51:32Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 51:33Brooke Averick?

  There is a young man.

• 51:35Speaker 03

  I wanna make sure the part that I saw wasn't on your close friends.

• 51:40Speaker 03

  Before I ask you about it.

• 51:42Brooke Averick?

  What?

• 51:44Speaker 03

  Didn't he follow you back?

• 51:45Brooke Averick?

  Oh, yeah, but that's not, yeah. Which is really sweet, but. There is a young man on Book Talk. His name is Luke. And he is literally just like, just what the community kind of ordered. Right now, it's like, one of the main characters from all of these romance novels that everyone's obsessed with. Came out of the page and walked into our hearts. He's this like ruggedly handsome, like he kinda looks like handsome Shrek. I don't know what his job is, he works like, he's Australian, he works like in of the fields in a tractor. Like, in, with his hands, like dirty, and he.

• 52:23Speaker 03

  He's a farmer.

• 52:24Brooke Averick?

  He's a, some sort of agricultural job, I don't know.

• 52:28Speaker 03

  Baddie.

• 52:29Brooke Averick?

  An agricultural baddie.

• 52:31Speaker 03

  That's him?

• 52:32Brooke Averick?

• 53:24Brooke Averick?

  He just like came on and was like, I, my friends told me about book talk and like reading has been so foundational to me since a young age. Like I would bring books to camp and I would have to hide them at like the bottom of my bag because I was like scared the other guys weren't going to make fun of me because it's not necessarily like an accepting community of emotional depth here where I am and.

• 53:43Speaker 03

  Did you memorize this?

• 53:44Brooke Averick?

  I don't know. I, he's just taken everyone by storm and now he has a book club, which I am a, a part of. And he loves fantasy and he's really excited to start reading like the romance to see books that are so popular. He hasn't gotten a chance to do that yet. Here he is. And I mean, I haven't like, I literally am going to his page and refreshing. Like he makes me so happy. Like it's just like a, it's like a refreshing.

• 54:12Speaker 03

  Look, you're getting jokes up. Holy smokes.

• 54:17Brooke Averick?

  It's like, I literally like, he's, it's just so refreshing to me. He's just such a sweetheart.

• 54:22Speaker 03

  Luke.

• 54:23Brooke Averick?

  And a lot of the men on book talk, I'm always thinking like, is there an angle here? Like, I'm always wondering if there's a hidden agenda.

• 54:31Speaker 03

  Virtue signaling.

• 54:32Brooke Averick?

  Not even that. I'm just like, are you like here to get girls almost?

• 54:37Speaker 03

  Virtue signaling.

• 54:39Brooke Averick?

  Oh, is that what that, I don't think that's what that is.

• 54:41Speaker 03

  I think it's like, I think it's, yeah, I think it's like hopping on and doing a lot of, a lot of performative things in a manipulative way.

• 54:47Brooke Averick?

  Though you can see Luke's genuine love of reading.

• 54:53Brooke Averick?

  Like it's just, it's, I just am so moved by this man. I just think he's a great guy. And like, you can just tell.

• 55:01Speaker 03

  Let's get him on the pod.

• 55:03Brooke Averick?

  He lives like in Australia or whatever, wherever he might live. I, sometimes I can't tell the difference between Australian and New Zealand.

• 55:11Speaker 03

  Oh, Luke Bateman.

• 55:12Brooke Averick?

  Accent. And by that, I mean, I have never been able.

• 55:14Speaker 03

  I think I can. I think I can. Can we play it and I'll see if I.

• 55:17Brooke Averick?

  I think it's Australian.

• 55:19Speaker 05

  Hello, book talk. We've got some amazing news. I'm so.

• 55:22Brooke Averick?

  And he's so earnest.

• 55:23Speaker 05

  Um, I've started my own book club on Fable. Uh, thank you all for directing me there.

• 55:28Speaker 03

  That's, I think that's New Zealand.

• 55:29Speaker 05

  I'll link the, the book club.

• 55:31Brooke Averick?

  Isn't he, he looks like Robert Irwin and handsome Shrek.

• 55:34Speaker 03

  He looks like Shrek turned into a man.

• 55:37Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Plus there's like an Irwin element there as well.

• 55:40Speaker 03

  I think his ac- his accent is the Irwin-esque. Oh, you are really at like.

• 55:46Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I, I followed him when he had, oh, this is not actually him. This isn't actually him. Sorry.

• 55:53Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 55:53Brooke Averick?

  But you can go to me and then look at mine.

• 55:55Speaker 03

  Really got in early.

• 55:56Brooke Averick?

  I believe it's actually LD Bateman. Thank you. On TikTok. I think that's his username. Yeah, here he is. Oh my God, new video.

• 56:07Brooke Averick?

  Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.

• 56:10Speaker 03

  Wait, he has a.

• 56:10Brooke Averick?

  Stop. He's gonna read Akatar. He's listening to Akatar right now. My God, I can't wait to see what he thinks. I really think he's gonna like it. I really do. Can we hear what he has to say? I'm sorry, I'm talking over him.

• 56:22Speaker 05

  And telling me that Akatar is like real vanilla or just a basic choice. I just had to, I had to go with it because I have to do my book top rider passage. And every time everyone's talking about Akatar, I just feel so left out. Like I feel like I'm at the kids table and all the adults in the other room.

• 56:43Brooke Averick?

  How lucky are we to be living at the same time? That's what I'll say.

• 56:48Speaker 03

  Yeah, Luke is.

• 56:49Brooke Averick?

  He's the greatest guy. I mean, you just, nothing but good vibes.

• 56:53Speaker 03

  Books. That is, that is one of y'alls books.

• 56:55Brooke Averick?

  It is literally, yeah, he did say that he's courting someone.

• 57:00Speaker 03

  Oh, I'm sorry.

• 57:01Brooke Averick?

  It's fine.

• 57:01Speaker 03

  Maybe it's a thorn of book and roses. What is the word?

• 57:05Brooke Averick?

  What did you say? A thorn of corn and roses?

• 57:09Speaker 03

  A book and roses.

• 57:13Speaker 03

  Maybe he's courting someone, maybe it's Abilene.

• 57:15Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 57:15Speaker 03

  Maybe he's courting one. Maybe the cour is who we've made friends with on our way.

• 57:20Brooke Averick?

  The roses that we made along the way.

• 57:23Speaker 03

  We don't along the way.

• 57:24Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, but I just like, it's literally like, I just, it's just, I just feel very connected to him and it makes me happy. This, I forgot what it was like to have someone who's like, content you actually are like. You remember like, we used to go to someone's page and like, see if they posted? Yeah, that's, that's how Luke is for me.

• 57:46Speaker 03

  That's beautiful that you have that.

• 57:48Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, thank you. But yeah, he did follow me on Instagram because he said that his friend, because I've been posting about him nonstop unfortunately, and he said his friends told him.

• 57:57Speaker 03

  His friends told him?

• 57:58Brooke Averick?

  Tough, it's tough when that happens because it's like.

• 58:01Speaker 03

  We have like a lot of Australian listeners.

• 58:04Brooke Averick?

  His American friends.

• 58:06Speaker 03

  How does he have American friends?

• 58:08Brooke Averick?

  I didn't get that far into the details. But it's nice that we are, we are connected.

• 58:14Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 58:15Brooke Averick?

  In that way.

• 58:15Speaker 03

  It's great to have a network.

• 58:16Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 58:20Speaker 03

  From like a health perspective. I'm feeling very strange. I wanted to tell you.

• 58:25Brooke Averick?

  You're high maybe and Celsius.

• 58:27Speaker 03

  Probably a little bit. No, I, I'm, I'm twisted over here. I had a Celsius in a can.

• 58:34Speaker 03

  Two things I want to say that a while, the like last time we talked, which is not two weeks ago. We talked about me removing sriracha a little bit from my food. It was a sriracha.

• 58:45Brooke Averick?

  No.

• 58:46Speaker 03

  Yeah. And I didn't say anything besides it was a sriracha.

• 58:50Brooke Averick?

  Do you think, have humans like evolved to be able to process that like daily spice like that?

• 58:57Speaker 03

  Like not?

• 58:58Brooke Averick?

  Like white ones?

• 58:59Speaker 03

  White people?

• 59:02Brooke Averick?

  Sorry.

• 59:05Speaker 03

  No, like I obviously haven't.

• 59:07Brooke Averick?

  Right.

• 59:07Speaker 03

  And there's a reason why like. You know, my dad puts pepper on his, his something and he's like, this is spicy.

• 59:14Brooke Averick?

  There's a reason.

• 59:15Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 59:15Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 59:16Speaker 03

  You know, and then I'm like, I didn't have, I didn't have a jalapeno. Till I was probably in my twenties.

• 59:22Brooke Averick?

  I still don't, I can't do that.

• 59:23Speaker 03

  You can't do, I can eat jalapenos bite by bite.

• 59:26Brooke Averick?

  No, I just really started being able to tolerate jalapeno chips.

• 59:31Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 59:32Brooke Averick?

  And I have a weird thing. I like wasabi peas, even though they really make my eyes water. I like wasabi.

• 59:39Speaker 03

  You're crazy.

• 59:39Brooke Averick?

  I know.

• 59:42Speaker 03

  What are we gonna do with you, girl?

• 59:45Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 59:49Speaker 03

  Fuck, I don't know. Why am I having so much trouble like figuring it out?

• 59:53Brooke Averick?

  It's fine.

• 59:55Speaker 03

  Um, oh my gosh, this is what I wanted to say. So I'm flying back to New York in the morning. There's all these, obviously like my entire FYP right now is like, don't fly into Newark. Like, did you see that there was like a whistleblower at the Newark Airport? Someone came out, an air traffic controller is like, it is straight up not safe for the public to be flying in and out of Newark Airport right now.

• 1:00:16Brooke Averick?

  I didn't know that.

• 1:00:18Speaker 03

  Cause they're understaffed.

• 1:00:20Brooke Averick?

  I didn't know that.

• 1:00:20Speaker 03

  They were like, it's not safe for the public.

• 1:00:22Brooke Averick?

  So why are they, why do they have flights then?

• 1:00:24Speaker 03

  I don't know. I don't know. Can we look up that? That thing. Newark is the airport that I fly in and out of when I leave New York.

• 1:00:32Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, we know. We love Newark.

• 1:00:32Speaker 03

  It's close. I love the Newark Airport. Newark Liberty International Airport is not safe for travelers. One air traffic controller at the delayed, delay plagued travel hub reported. Can I read? It is not safe. It is not a safe situation right now for the flying public. Public. The federal air safety employee reportedly told NBC News correspondent. Really an incredible statement unsolicited. He just said that to me inseparably. Don't fly into Newark. Avoid Newark at all costs. I'm obviously flying to Newark tomorrow and then out of Newark on Thursday to Mexico for a wedding.

• 1:01:09Brooke Averick?

  Maybe I'm not understanding, but like it sounds like it'll just be a shit show and like less so like dangerous.

• 1:01:16Speaker 03

  He said it's not safe.

• 1:01:17Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 1:01:21Brooke Averick?

  Also, did we talk about the rehearsal at all, speaking of flights? Yeah, we did, right?

• 1:01:26Speaker 03

  We did a while back. Yeah. I didn't watch the new episode.

• 1:01:28Brooke Averick?

  I didn't either, but like that is.

• 1:01:30Speaker 03

  I, I don't understand how Nathan is not on a watch list.

• 1:01:35Brooke Averick?

  Well, I, yeah, I don't really get it either.

• 1:01:38Speaker 03

  Um.

• 1:01:38Brooke Averick?

  I love him. Like I forgot almost how much I loved him.

• 1:01:43Speaker 03

  A single burnt wire caused an almost 90 minute?

• 1:01:49Speaker 03

  Air traffic control, stop at Newark Airport? What is going on? That's completely separate.

• 1:01:55Speaker 03

  That was a completely separate story. Okay.

• 1:01:59Speaker 03

  Sorry. We've now gone into Newark Airport mode.

• 1:02:02Brooke Averick?

  Well, do you want to see the real life version of SpongeBob and Patrick?

• 1:02:07Speaker 03

  It's actually, I had a lot of things I wanted to talk to you about last week that we just didn't get to talk about.

• 1:02:11Brooke Averick?

  Sorry.

• 1:02:12Speaker 03

  One is the Katy Perry song that like, I have-

• 1:02:14Brooke Averick?

  I want to talk about that.

• 1:02:15Speaker 03

  I have a portion of my life that is now go, like when I listen, if I ever hear that song again, which now I hope I don't, because it's all like, it was playing, you're like an indie.

• 1:02:25Brooke Averick?

  I'm not hearing what people are hearing.

• 1:02:27Speaker 03

  What do you, what do you mean what people are hearing? You don't like it?

• 1:02:30Brooke Averick?

  No, I love that song. I've always loved that song. I used to fantasize all the time about me being Rachel from Glee and being with Finn, but really wanting Jesse St. James. And that song would play in the background while I would think about that. But I don't understa, like, that part is good, but I, like, people seem to be picking up on something that I'm not.

• 1:02:51Speaker 03

  No, it scratched something in my brain and I was telling Hunter last week and he's like, you gotta stop. Frankly, it was, it was, first thought I had in the morning was an Indian summer in the middle of the winter.

• 1:03:02Brooke Averick?

  Well, now it's like, it is stuck in my head now, but it's not like-

• 1:03:05Speaker 03

  I got like-

• 1:03:06Brooke Averick?

  The way that people are doing these exaggerated, like, performances of it, like-

• 1:03:09Speaker 03

  I did one, like, million views.

• 1:03:12Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I, I might-

• 1:03:13Speaker 03

  It's everybody's, everybody's loving it.

• 1:03:15Brooke Averick?

  Everyone is feeling that way. My ears are broken or something.

• 1:03:17Speaker 03

  Yeah, I went a little viral last week, but, and that's a taste of the high life, I'll tell you that much. Going viral.

• 1:03:24Brooke Averick?

  I get it.

• 1:03:24Speaker 03

  I see, I see people go viral now and I go, "I was viral once."

• 1:03:32Brooke Averick?

  We have hand scars in the exact same place.

• 1:03:35Speaker 03

  How do you mean?

• 1:03:37Brooke Averick?

  Look.

  Oh, that? That old thing? That's when I was like grinding off my, my not at the club on Friday night.
