1:06 Connor Wood? Hi, welcome back to Brooke and Connor Make a Podcast.
1:09 Brooke Averick? Hi.
1:10 Connor Wood? Can't stop thinking-
1:11 Brooke Averick? Welcome back.
1:11 Connor Wood? I can't stop thinking about that photo you posted to me on your Snapchat story last night, where I looked completely... I looked otherworldly.
1:17 Brooke Averick? But it was like funny.
1:19 Connor Wood? No, it was like-
1:19 Brooke Averick? Like it was funny because you don't look like that.
1:22 Connor Wood? Well, I was kind of excited to see it, like, because I kind of was like, I'm sitting chilling. Like, I like my outfit. Like, I can't wait to see that photo later. The chum bucket. That's what it looked like, an advertisement for the chum bucket.
1:33 Brooke Averick? It had a nice amount of screenshots.
1:55 Brooke Averick? It was funny.
1:56 Connor Wood? It wasn't even like a, "Oh, candid, I'm walking, but like a bad..." I was sitting there relaxing.
2:02 Brooke Averick? Yeah, it was like a funny, bad picture. You're fine. You will be fine.
2:07 Connor Wood? It's a bad picture.
2:08 Brooke Averick? You will be okay.
2:09 Connor Wood? It had how many screenshots?
2:10 Brooke Averick? I don't know.
2:12 Connor Wood? Check.
2:15 Brooke Averick? You will be so fine.
2:16 Connor Wood? How many screenshots? That's just like a, it's just like a tough nut to swallow.
2:21 Brooke Averick? It had.
2:22 Connor Wood? No, don't tell me. Yeah, tell me.
2:23 Brooke Averick? 111?
2:26 Connor Wood? Six figures?
2:28 Brooke Averick? No.
2:29 Connor Wood? Three figures?
2:29 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
2:33 Connor Wood? Whew, okay.
2:34 Brooke Averick? You're, you're gonna pull through.
2:36 Connor Wood? You know what?
2:36 Brooke Averick? I know you are.
2:37 Connor Wood? Mine had a lot of screenshots yesterday, too. I think it might be a glitch. I don't think that that many, because I, I posted yesterday, "All I've eaten today is ham."
2:45 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
2:45 Connor Wood? And it has 192 screenshots.
2:47 Brooke Averick? Okay. Can I see the picture?
2:49 Connor Wood? It was a good picture.
2:49 Brooke Averick? Is there something going on?
2:50 Connor Wood? It was a good picture.
2:50 Brooke Averick? Let me see.
2:51 Connor Wood? I think it was good.
2:52 Brooke Averick? Let me see then.
2:55 Connor Wood? Good, not great. I didn't say it was great.
2:57 Brooke Averick? Um, there must be a glitch. You're right.
3:00 Connor Wood? My, my round, I looked, you know what?
3:04 Brooke Averick? What?
3:05 Connor Wood? You're not gonna give, right now, but I started taking creatine.
3:08 Brooke Averick? Are you bulking?
3:10 Connor Wood? No, I was just like suggested to start taking creatine. And it, I guess you start withholding water.
3:17 Brooke Averick? Withholding?
3:18 Connor Wood? I don't know, holding, taking on water.
3:20 Brooke Averick? Oh, get, absorb, having a little water weight?
3:23 Connor Wood? Yeah, you're just like, retain.
3:25 Brooke Averick? Retaining, retaining, retaining.
3:26 Connor Wood? Yeah, so there's like some sort of retaining wall happening, and I think it's only in my face.
3:30 Brooke Averick? You're fine.
3:34 Connor Wood? Look at that picture again. Look at that picture again.
3:36 Brooke Averick? It's a bad picture.
3:37 Connor Wood? Yeah, but that was my natural state.
3:39 Brooke Averick? No, let's, we're moving on.
3:42 Connor Wood? When I'm sitting, okay.
3:43 Brooke Averick? You do look really tan, though.
3:45 Connor Wood? I sat out yesterday.
3:47 Brooke Averick? That's not artificial at all?
3:48 Connor Wood? No.
3:49 Brooke Averick? Why'd you just smile like that?
3:51 Connor Wood? Because I'm excited.
3:51 Brooke Averick? Are you lying?
3:52 Connor Wood? No, I'm excited that you think that it looks artificial.
3:54 Brooke Averick? You look really tan, yeah.
3:55 Connor Wood? Thank you.
3:56 Brooke Averick? It's nice.
3:57 Connor Wood? That's what happens when I come to California.
3:59 Brooke Averick? Yeah. Stay, stay a little bit, stay a while, stay a while.
4:01 Connor Wood? I live here, full, I haven't been, I haven't left California this month, and it is, what's today? It's the 20th.
4:07 Brooke Averick? Stay, stay, stay a while.
4:09 Connor Wood? Thanks.
4:10 Brooke Averick? Yeah, you might, you might find out you like it.
4:16 Connor Wood? I do like it. It's really nice.
4:18 Brooke Averick? Give it a chance.
4:18 Connor Wood? We were laughing yesterday because Brooke is going for Memorial Day, like the group of theirs is going. And she looked up the weather yesterday and found it to be
4:28 Brooke Averick? Lower 50s.
4:28 Connor Wood? In the 50s and cloudy and raining and thunderstorm.
4:31 Brooke Averick? Lower 50s.
4:32 Connor Wood? What did you say to me?
4:33 Brooke Averick? House on the beach will be in the lower 50s for now. Rain and thunder. I appreciate that.
4:40 Brooke Averick? And then Connor was like, oh, it's not bad. Like it'll
4:43 Connor Wood? It might turn around.
4:44 Brooke Averick? Turn around. And I was like, well, what are you doing for Memorial Day? And he was like, oh, I'm staying here. The weather's amazing. Thank you so much.
4:51 Connor Wood? Stick around. You might like it.
4:52 Brooke Averick? I just like, I planned so many things months and months ago when I was mentally well. And I was like, all of these things will be fun. Like I want to celebrate Phoebe. And now that I've entered this space of mental unwellness that now that she's nearing, I'm like, why did I? Why did I do anything? Why did I plan this beach trip? That's four more days away. I planned, I planned this big party. Like, why did I do that? Like, why did I, I did so much. And now that we're here, it's like, what was she thinking? I'm thinking, I was, she was thinking that she really wanted to celebrate. But I'm fine now. Like, I'm good.
5:35 Connor Wood? Yeah.
5:35 Brooke Averick? I want to rest. Like, I'm already tired and nothing started. I'm so grateful and excited more than, more than everything.
5:42 Connor Wood? That's saying.
5:43 Brooke Averick? But I'm definitely experiencing some, um, mental trials and tribulations.
5:47 Connor Wood? Some restlessness.
5:49 Brooke Averick? Some, yeah, some restless leg syndrome and, and shit like that. And
5:54 Brooke Averick? obviously, like, no one thought I was going to be doing well, like with the release of a debut novel, like, like, that wasn't expected for me to do well. And I'm, and, and that's great. And that's fine. And so it's just, the expected is happening and that's all good. And we're ready for it. And we're going to push through and it's going to be amazing. And I can't wait. And I won't see you next week because I will be, I'll have, I'll be away.
6:19 Connor Wood? I'm coming.
6:21 Brooke Averick? No, I, so next week will we have an episode, Izzy? So we will not have an episode at all next week in honor of
6:28 Connor Wood? Ms. Phoebe.
6:29 Brooke Averick? Phoeber.
6:30 Connor Wood? McPhoeber?
6:30 Brooke Averick? Uh, McPhoeber. She will be out next week.
6:33 Connor Wood? Phoebe Fever.
6:34 Brooke Averick? It's nausea.
6:35 Connor Wood? Wait, but I'm recording while you're away.
6:38 Brooke Averick? Yeah, but there will be no episode. There will be no episode next week. I don't know when you're recording, but then there will be two episodes without me.
6:47 Connor Wood? Yes.
6:47 Brooke Averick? With Jeff Connor. So I'll be gone for three.
6:50 Connor Wood? Yeah. Well, not just me. We're gonna have some, someone will be on in her.
6:54 Brooke Averick? In my, in amazing office.
6:55 Connor Wood? In her stead.
6:56 Brooke Averick? Yeah, in my stead. So I'll be gone and I will miss you all deeply. Please keep me in your thoughts. I'm so excited. I'm extremely nauseous. Um, everything should be good and I'm very sick.
7:08 Connor Wood? It's gonna be amazing. It's, that's like a learning moment too, because a lot of times like the, the things that you build up. A great celebration would be to go home and hit the hay, you know, but you don't realize that. But cool. Now you know that like when you release it and you put out a bunch of things and you're working really hard and, and it's, and it, and it is up. Maybe give it a week before you decide to hit the town, you know?
7:28 Brooke Averick? Well, my therapist was saying, cause I was like, why did I do this? What was I thinking? I'm so stupid, blah, blah, blah. And she was like, that was still you that really wanted to celebrate and like she is still in there.
7:41 Connor Wood? Yeah.
7:41 Brooke Averick? You know, like that was you. So I have to trust myself.
7:47 Connor Wood? Yeah. You're reaping what you, what you sow.
7:49 Brooke Averick? Yeah. At one point in time, I believed this was cause for celebration.
7:54 Connor Wood? It's.
7:54 Brooke Averick? And it is.
7:55 Connor Wood? It's from, from, from where I'm sitting, I'm excited to go to that party.
7:58 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
7:59 Connor Wood? So, thank you.
8:00 Brooke Averick? You're welcome.
8:01 Connor Wood? You're giving, that's, that is another weird thing about celebrating your personal win is that like, it's for other people kinda. Like I'm excited to go to that party. You're like, I would like to go to bed.
8:12 Brooke Averick? Ooh, yeah.
8:13 Connor Wood? It's almost like.
8:14 Brooke Averick? Oh my God, yeah. Sorry. I'm really like nauseous.
8:17 Connor Wood? Yeah, that's okay. It'll be fun.
8:20 Brooke Averick? No, I know, I know, I know, I know.
8:22 Connor Wood? I, I love the idea of reaping what you sow. Remember the correlation we talked about a long time ago about reaping what you sow?
8:29 Brooke Averick? No.
8:30 Connor Wood? It's just like such a correlation between reaping and sowing, which is so direct. Like you've worked so hard and you're about to sow so hard, you know?
8:44 Brooke Averick? You know, but it's not sowing, you know, like stitching, right?
8:47 Connor Wood? Yeah. It's sowing as in harvesting your crops. And then on the other side, if, if, if you're not really sowing, you're not gonna reap much, which is really, it's, it's hard. That's a tough nut to swallow too.
9:01 Brooke Averick? Okay. Sorry.
9:03 Connor Wood? It's okay. Are you gonna throw up, do you think?
9:05 Brooke Averick? No, I'm not. I'm not gonna throw up, but this has been for like two weeks. I've just been like on the brink.
9:11 Connor Wood? Yeah.
9:12 Brooke Averick? Thank you.
9:13 Connor Wood? It's okay.
9:13 Brooke Averick? Sorry if I'm weird. My dog also died.
9:16 Connor Wood? Yeah, your dog, your, your dog did die.
9:18 Brooke Averick? My dog died.
9:19 Connor Wood? Do you wanna go into dog now or do you wanna?
9:21 Brooke Averick? It's just been, it's just been in an emotional time.
9:24 Connor Wood? Yeah.
9:26 Brooke Averick? I'm not gonna cry.
9:28 Connor Wood? Okay.
9:28 Brooke Averick? But it is weird.
9:29 Connor Wood? You can't cry.
9:30 Brooke Averick? My, my, my childhood dog died and it's, it's just.
9:35 Connor Wood? When it rains, it pours.
9:36 Brooke Averick? When it rains, it pours. It just, it very much feels like
9:41 Brooke Averick? the end of, the end of an era and ushering in a new one. And it's really scary. Like she was the last piece of, of my youth. She was, we got, I got her when I was in high school and, and it's really like that time is, is done.
9:54 Connor Wood? I know that.
9:54 Brooke Averick? I, I am like, it, it feels really symbolic in a heavy way.
9:59 Connor Wood? That was exactly what happened. That's why I kind of didn't talk about it on, on the podcast when it happened to me. Was like, I kind of don't wanna acknowledge that in a concrete way.
10:08 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
10:09 Connor Wood? With my words and put it out in the space.
10:13 Connor Wood? But been there and it's not fun. So I'm sorry.
10:15 Brooke Averick? It's okay. It's just like, wow, you get a dog when you're seventeen and then, and then she dies right before you turn thirty.
10:24 Connor Wood? Okay, heavy, heavy, heavy, yeah.
10:26 Brooke Averick? Yeah. Anyway, I love you, Cleo. You're a good dog.
10:32 Connor Wood? Rest in power, Cleo.
10:33 Brooke Averick? Yeah, and she is. She was amazing.
10:38 Connor Wood? Yeah, I, um, were we together when I talked about my, my, my first dog?
10:46 Brooke Averick? The one that got hit by the bus?
10:47 Connor Wood? Yeah, the school bus?
10:48 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
10:51 Connor Wood? I was talking about that the other day and kind of as like an icebreaker and it doesn't like, you'll get to a space where it's like, It is weird and transformative to like have that animal represent a part of your life. And like, that's a part of you. That's like, okay, wait, that was my last like
11:09 Connor Wood? keepsake of that time.
11:10 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
11:12 Connor Wood? And then it will be like a memory that's like, oh, remember this was like a big
11:17 Connor Wood? piece of me that I held here. And then you kind of release it in that way. And me talking about my dog getting hit by a school bus filled up with children on their way to school. That will, that's also probably pretty transformative. They probably have that memory that stayed with them too. So that's, that's Rusty's legacy, which I, in a comedic sense, I do appreciate that. He, he did that.
11:37 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
11:38 Connor Wood? He, he left us in that.
11:39 Brooke Averick? You know what Andrew Garfield said?
11:41 Connor Wood? What did, I don't know.
11:42 Brooke Averick? This is not so much about Rusty, but.
11:45 Connor Wood? Rest in power, Rusty.
11:46 Brooke Averick? Rest in power. I wonder if he's with Cleo.
11:48 Connor Wood? 100%.
11:50 Brooke Averick? And Saki.
11:51 Connor Wood? And Saki. Well, you know what's amazing? Really quick, before you tell us about Lewis Hamilton. What's it? Andrew Garfield.
11:57 Brooke Averick? Lewis Hamilton.
11:58 Connor Wood? He's a race car driver. I don't, I've never, don't keep up with it. Don't know why that. I was thinking Hamilton. Anyways. Saki dug up Rusty in the backyard.
12:08 Brooke Averick? Wow.
12:10 Connor Wood? Max dug up Saki.
12:14 Connor Wood? The, the, the baton is being passed through, from the afterlife.
12:18 Brooke Averick? Wow.
12:18 Connor Wood? Which I think is true, the baton, the bone is being passed through the afterlife.
12:22 Brooke Averick? Wow.
12:22 Connor Wood? And they're tapping each other in, like that TikTok trend.
12:26 Brooke Averick? That's, yeah.
12:29 Brooke Averick? How beautiful.
12:30 Connor Wood? Digging them up. I'm like, dad, maybe let's stop burying the dogs like in the backyard.
12:34 Brooke Averick? It is genuinely the circle of life.
12:35 Connor Wood? Yeah. It is. And it happens. Tell us what Woody Allen, I can't remember what his name is.
12:45 Brooke Averick? You know who he is.
12:46 Connor Wood? Andrew Garfield. No, I just can't remember his name right now.
12:48 Brooke Averick? He said that grief is just all of the love, all the unexpressed love.
13:00 Brooke Averick? For that person.
13:01 Connor Wood? Hang on, I'm gonna get there. I just need to think. Grief is, they like it when you're expressing grief, it's all the Andrew Garfield's-
13:10 Brooke Averick? It's just all the love that you can't express.
13:11 Connor Wood? "I hope this grief stays with me because it's all the unexpressed love that I didn't get to tell her." Ooh.
13:18 Connor Wood? Oh, yeah. That's good.
13:20 Brooke Averick? Yeah, it is.
13:21 Connor Wood? And grief looks like many things.
13:23 Brooke Averick? Grief can look so different to so many people.
13:24 Connor Wood? Grief could, grief could look for you like celebrating Phoebe, because that could also be a rest in power Cleo.
13:29 Brooke Averick? Well, Cleo will be with me on the, during the tour, which is nice, that she'll be looking down on me.
13:37 Connor Wood? That's nice.
13:38 Brooke Averick? From doggy heaven.
13:40 Connor Wood? I saw the craziest TikTok I've ever seen, this, this woman I follow who's-
13:44 Brooke Averick? Me too, you go first.
13:46 Connor Wood? Well, I'm not gonna be able to quote it, because it was like the deepest, I just commented hashtag affected me underneath her TikTok, because I wanted, if people saw it, like every time they like it, you know, you get to go back to the video. And it was, she was talking about her weekend with a coworker, and she was like, "Time is weird." Can I just play it?
14:04 Brooke Averick? Sure.
14:05 Connor Wood? It's, it's like, it's gonna be like a thinker, so we may have to take our time with it.
14:10 Brooke Averick? I love that.
14:11 Connor Wood? Yeah, well, basically, just pay attention to what she says about dogs and time passing.
14:17 Brooke Averick? Okay.
14:18 Connor Wood? Because it really was like, whoa.
14:21 Connor Wood? Um, like perspective type shit. Let me pull it up, okay.
14:28 Speaker 04 Your weekend.
14:31 Speaker 04 How was your weekend? Hi. Okay, I started thinking I was just wasting time. What were you doing? Nothing. Just because you're doing nothing, doesn't mean you're wasting time. Yeah, but what is time if you don't do something with it? I don't know. Ask a dog. I read once that dogs have a faster metabolism than people, and because of that, time moves more slowly for them. No wonder they're always so hungry at dinner. Did you know that dogs smell time? They do?
15:00 Speaker 04 If they can't smell you anymore, that's how they know you've been gone a long time. One time I tripped and I fell in slow motion, but I hit the ground at full speed. Did it hurt? The full speed part hurt a lot. Full speed always hurts more. That's why I don't like to drive fast. That's kind of how my weekend felt. When I was doing it, it felt like slow motion, but when it was over, it felt like full speed. Maybe you should stop looking at clocks and start smelling time. Then I'd never make it back to my desk. I know.
15:32 Connor Wood? So I can't remember how that related.
15:34 Brooke Averick? That's a, that's a tough one.
15:36 Connor Wood? It's a thinker.
15:37 Brooke Averick? To even think about teasing apart.
15:40 Connor Wood? Right. What part?
15:41 Brooke Averick? Especially the part when she said that the weekend was in slow motion, but then when it was over, it was full speed ahead.
15:48 Connor Wood? I think she
15:49 Brooke Averick? Looking back.
15:50 Connor Wood? Said that about falling.
15:51 Brooke Averick? No, she said it about the weekend when her weekend was in slow motion. But then at the end, it was, it was full speed. Which that I don't get.
15:59 Connor Wood? It's just like on, on Sunday, you're like, oh my God, I was looking forward to the weekend and now it's Sunday at 4pm. And it's like, this was like the weekend and now it's over.
16:10 Brooke Averick? I don't think I've taken, I took anything away from that.
16:12 Connor Wood? Okay. I thought it was interesting that she said that dogs metabolize faster, so time moves slower. So they live like a very full life on a shorter
16:20 Brooke Averick? Right.
16:21 Connor Wood? Timeline than us. And they smell time. So like, they smell it based on whatever scent that you leave.
16:27 Brooke Averick? That makes sense that time has been moving really fast for me because I have an extremely slow metabolism.
16:32 Connor Wood? Oh, I was like, are you, do you have congestion?
16:35 Brooke Averick? No, I have a slow metabolism.
16:38 Connor Wood? Maybe you should start smelling time.
16:39 Brooke Averick? I'm gonna try.
16:41 Connor Wood? Yeah. It is a It is an interesting one. Like when things stop smelling, you're like, oh, that much time has passed that like, my car doesn't smell like that rotisserie chicken I ate last week.
16:52 Brooke Averick? Well, sometimes you can smell time in the sense that smells transport you. Like when I, there's this one hand sanitizer that we used in third grade that is just like,
17:03 Brooke Averick? The most, the biggest smell in my life, I think, would be that hand sanitizer. And I remember I smelled it once in 12th grade again. And it was, I was just had the most existential pit in my stomach. Like, I can't believe that all that time has passed. And I like, felt like a third grade, like, I was just so aware of time. When I smelled that hand sanitizer again. If I were to smell that hand sanitizer now, I would drop dead.
17:29 Connor Wood? That's how I feel about the hand sanitizer that everyone seemed to have during COVID. That was just like 99% alcohol. Do you remember that? They used to have these big sacks.
17:38 Brooke Averick? It wasn't Purell, it was just off.
17:39 Connor Wood? No, it was like, this crazy hands. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? The like, big sacks of 100% alcohol we used to put on, like, before eating. I smell that now.
17:54 Brooke Averick? This hand sanitizer, it actually smelled so good. It was this large, blue, foamy bottle. Similar to the soap that we just put all over ourselves during the ad reads. It was, Izzy, would you mind looking up large bottle of blue, foamy hand sanitizer for schools?
18:14 Connor Wood? That should do it.
18:14 Brooke Averick? I'm sure it could be used anywhere else as well, but...
18:19 Connor Wood? Oh.
18:20 Brooke Averick? No, they don't, they don't.
18:21 Connor Wood? No?
18:21 Brooke Averick? No, it's the, like, the inside is blue foam.
18:29 Connor Wood? Summer breeze makes me feel nice.
18:31 Brooke Averick? I think it's dead. It died with my youth and it's up there with Cleo.

20:07 Connor Wood? There was one that I was, all the girls always had this Japanese cherry blossom from
20:13 Brooke Averick? Yup.
20:13 Connor Wood? Bath, Bed Bath & Body Works.
20:15 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
20:15 Connor Wood? Was it?
20:16 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
20:17 Connor Wood? And I was so allergic to it, but I really liked the smell. I break out in hives, but I knew, there was one time when I really like, one of your nightmares couldn't take this test and I was like, hand me your Japanese cherry blossom Purell. I put it on, hives, home.
20:30 Brooke Averick? Yup.
20:30 Connor Wood? And it was a Friday, test next week.
20:32 Brooke Averick? It's so nice.
20:33 Connor Wood? Study up.
20:34 Brooke Averick? Oh, I remember once I had horrible acne and I was a camp counselor and the director was like, are you okay? You're breaking out in hives. And I was like, no, I think I need to go home. So I got to go home for my acne.
20:51 Connor Wood? Oh.
20:53 Brooke Averick? It's fine.
20:53 Connor Wood? Yeah, I didn't.
20:55 Brooke Averick? You said oh.
20:56 Connor Wood? Oh, I mean, it was, yeah, it made me sad.
20:57 Brooke Averick? Oh, why? I got to go home.
21:03 Connor Wood? You know, it makes me sad when I think about.
21:05 Brooke Averick? What?
21:07 Connor Wood? I wanted to be cool so bad and I think it was junior high and I had really bad allergies. I still do. Pollen really affects me. I was pretty self-conscious about my body. I couldn't touch grass and I was, so I would put where, I had to always be on shirts because I was allergic to the grass. And I was like, that's God. God's real and he's with me here that I can't take my shirt off. You know, just play shirts and skins. I was always shirts. And.
21:32 Connor Wood? It was 4:20 and I knew a bunch of guys had smoked weed before school.
21:39 Connor Wood? And I took some grass from outside and I rubbed it on my face and I made my eyes swell up completely, almost shut.
21:44 Brooke Averick? Cause you wanted to look like you smoked too.
21:47 Connor Wood? And I was in so much physical pain, I could barely see, but I was like, as long as they think, and they thought I was, they actually, I passed the point of being, oh, that's cool. You burn.
21:58 Brooke Averick? To like, you can't.
21:59 Connor Wood? To like, you are too crazy for us. Like, we're like, not comfortable being around you or talking to you. I was like, what up, fella? My throat's closing up and I was like, I'm, this is sick.
22:10 Brooke Averick? Sorry, I'm so stoned.
22:11 Connor Wood? I have the munchies.
22:12 Brooke Averick? My throat's closing up.
22:13 Connor Wood? Where's the cheerio? Like, did you guys bring any food? It was cra- it was really uncomfortable.
22:18 Brooke Averick? Yeah, I know that sounds super uncomfortable.
22:20 Connor Wood? And I didn't go home, so I was like, I want everybody to see me at every one of my classes. I'm not kidding, like, I think this, there was one side of my face where I genuinely did have, it had spread down my face, cause anytime I would touch that, like, fresh grass, that fresh cut grass.
22:36 Connor Wood? Swollen.
22:36 Brooke Averick? Yeah. I used to wish so badly that I had more allergies.
22:43 Connor Wood? Have you gotten tested for allergies?
22:45 Brooke Averick? Yes, I'm only really allergic to oak trees, which like, that doesn't do much for me.
22:51 Connor Wood? When I went in for this last rash I had, I don't think I ever came here when I had this last rash, my most recent rash.
22:59 Connor Wood? They took me in, I was like, I need, like, a shot, I need like a steroid shot, this is insane. And they took me in, they're like, we're just gonna test you to see what you're allergic for. And they take this, have you seen this thing? It's this big, it's the size of like a MacBook, but long. And they, and I don't have like a ton of real estate on my forearm, I have like pretty, it's just pretty much like skin over my whatever bone. And so, but they, it took up my entire arm and it's like a grid and they push it and they inject you with everything.
23:30 Brooke Averick? No, I had single needles when I got one.
23:32 Connor Wood? Oh my, it's just like one big push.
23:34 Brooke Averick? Did it hurt?
23:35 Connor Wood? And.
23:37 Connor Wood? It didn't hurt.
23:37 Brooke Averick? That reminds me of that toy that you used to like press in, you know, that was all those like.
23:42 Connor Wood? It was like that.
23:42 Brooke Averick? Not needles, but like adjacent, almost like screws.
23:46 Connor Wood? It was like that. It pricked and prodded me and then my whole arm swelled up and they go, oh, you're allergic to about all these.
23:52 Brooke Averick? Wow.
23:52 Connor Wood? And they're like, do not itch it. Do not itch it. This arm now double the size of my other arm.
23:56 Brooke Averick? What was it all just like stuff you can find in nature?
23:58 Connor Wood? Oak tree pollen. I was like, that's why I'm here. Like, I know I'm allergic to that. I need a shot in my neck.
24:04 Brooke Averick? Where do you, where are oak trees? Like, why are they such a big offender? Are they just everywhere?
24:08 Connor Wood? I couldn't tell you.
24:09 Brooke Averick? Like, I couldn't pick out enough trees.
24:10 Connor Wood? Can we see an oak, Izzy?
24:13 Connor Wood? Okay, so that's just like every tree I've ever seen.
24:16 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
24:17 Connor Wood? Oh, no, they're gorgeous and they're beautiful. Look at, look at the way they're built. Oh, yeah.
24:23 Brooke Averick? Wow, the mighty oak. That's like sad that like, that's like the strongest tree and you say like the mighty oak and like we're so weak. We're allergic to it.
24:33 Connor Wood? Oh, well, it's just like reminding you constantly. Remember the oak.
24:37 Brooke Averick? Yeah, remember who, who made you. Remember where you came from. Remember who's boss.
24:41 Connor Wood? Remember your roots.
24:42 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
24:42 Connor Wood? And remember who's Papa. It's the mighty oak. The mighty oak is Papa.
24:47 Brooke Averick? So, oh, from Maine to Texas. Okay.
24:52 Brooke Averick? It's found in every US state except Alaska and Hawaii. Idaho has native oaks.
24:59 Brooke Averick? Do you feel like you're, like your allergies are really bad when you're in Idaho?
25:03 Connor Wood? Everywhere. At some season in every area, I'm allergic to something.
25:06 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
25:07 Connor Wood? I think California has like really, really bad pollen. Pollen's a big one for me. Pollen.
25:12 Brooke Averick? Yeah, well, pollen will get you.
25:15 Connor Wood? But like swelling of the face and throat and ears and neck.
25:18 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
25:20 Connor Wood? It's whatever.
25:20 Brooke Averick? Do you take any medication?
25:22 Connor Wood? I forget.
25:23 Brooke Averick? You should.
25:23 Connor Wood? I know. I have Zyrtec in my wallet.
25:25 Brooke Averick? Zyrtec.
25:26 Connor Wood? It looks like I have a condom 24/7. It's a big, it's a Zyrtec.
25:30 Brooke Averick? It's hot.
25:30 Connor Wood? Yeah.
25:32 Connor Wood? Like, check it out. It's a Zyrtec that I won't take. It's for an emergency because it either, it either, I can't, I can't remember. It either keeps me up at night or it makes me tired and I can't remember which one it is.
25:41 Brooke Averick? Probably sleepy.
25:43 Connor Wood? Can we double check? This is a learning episode for, for me and my allergies and my body.
25:47 Brooke Averick? I feel like just, because it's like Benadryl makes you sleepy, so.
25:50 Connor Wood? Zyrtec can make you drowsy.
25:52 Brooke Averick? Zyrtec?
25:53 Connor Wood? Yeah.
25:56 Brooke Averick? Yeah, take it before bed.
25:58 Connor Wood? But I'm not allergic.
25:59 Brooke Averick? Right.
25:59 Connor Wood? I'm asleep.
26:00 Brooke Averick? Yeah, it's tough. It's tough. It's really hard.
26:04 Connor Wood? I can't get over me showing you that video thinking I was like showing you Carl Jung like groundbreaking information and I didn't even understand at the same time. I must have been really tired when I watched that.
26:13 Brooke Averick? Oh, the TikTok that I saw on the way here was so upsetting and I would never, truly never mom shame anyone except for this woman.
26:21 Connor Wood? Okay.
26:23 Brooke Averick? She like, and she thought she like did something with this. This video was set to like lullaby like sweet music and she, it was, the caption was like, I have a metaphobia. So like, like a fear of throwing up.
26:37 Connor Wood? Oh.
26:37 Brooke Averick? So, um, my husband is taking care of our son with the stomach virus outside and it was her filming her husband and son on a mattress in the driveway. And he like had a like bucket and like blankets next to him. Can you imagine?
26:54 Connor Wood? You go outside.
26:55 Brooke Averick? Your child is sick as a dog, stomach virus, which is traumatizing, especially when you're young. You put him in the driveway?
27:02 Connor Wood? Guess who's gonna get a metaphobia, by the way? The guy throwing up in a bucket in the driveway?
27:07 Brooke Averick? Like, I, I cannot like that. I got so upset at that TikTok and I almost commented and I've never, like, I've never done anything like that.
27:15 Connor Wood? Hashtag affected me?
27:15 Brooke Averick? And I didn't comment, but like, she really thought she was like,
27:22 Brooke Averick? did something.
27:23 Connor Wood? Yeah, that would, that'd be one of those you fall asleep being like,
27:29 Connor Wood? banger post.
27:30 Brooke Averick? Got it.
27:30 Connor Wood? Wake up and it's like, oh.
27:31 Brooke Averick? And all of the comments were like, did you, like, I can't believe you thought you were gonna get like anyone that agreed with you. And the fact that she's like keeping it up because it's like so viral like is so embarrassing. Like, I just like have it out for this, for this woman, I think. And I think we all should.
27:48 Connor Wood? That's gonna be a core memory. I remember the first time.
27:51 Brooke Averick? Core memory of when your mom made you throw up in the driveway?
27:54 Connor Wood? Yeah, you're, I bet that this young man's gonna be very, very like close to his dad and not remember it entirely why we're so like trauma bonded as if we've been deployed together and it's like, because you were deployed to the driveway with your mattress and your bucket. I remember when I.
28:10 Connor Wood? So you wanted allergies, I wanted to throw up.
28:14 Brooke Averick? I can't imagine in a million years.
28:19 Connor Wood? Yep, and I had some stomach bug. And I threw up on our tile floor. And I was laughing because I was like, that's insane. I've always wanted to throw up. I'm like, throwing up is real? It was like-
28:30 Brooke Averick? That was your first time?
28:31 Connor Wood? For me, yeah, you don't forget your first time.
28:33 Brooke Averick? No, you don't.
28:34 Connor Wood? I, throwing up for me was like, that's something they do in the movies. They throw up. And then they slip in it and then someone else throws it. I threw up on the ground and I was laughing so hard, like how, like how we laugh. Here, you know, like couldn't catch my breath and then on the breath in from laughing, I threw up again. And then, then I was like, still kind of laughing and looking around. I was like, haha. And then I threw up again and I was like, no, no. And I was in this cycle of like, then I couldn't catch my breath and I'm just vomiting and it's puddle. And then it got really real for my whole family. They're like, oh, we gotta like, we gotta stop the spillage. Cause it was like vomit everywhere. And then I went from like crying laughing to like genuinely crying to like sobbing. And then anytime I would get a breath and it would just vomit out.
29:14 Brooke Averick? Ooh, okay, let's move on from that.
29:16 Connor Wood? Okay, but no bucket, no problem. My mom lets me throw up inside the house.
29:20 Brooke Averick? She, she's a great mom.
29:22 Connor Wood? Yeah.
29:23 Brooke Averick? I carried around a bucket for years.
29:25 Connor Wood? I know, your bucket.
29:26 Brooke Averick? Yeah. I wish like that's something that I had saved.
29:30 Connor Wood? What do you mean?
29:30 Brooke Averick? I saved my bucket, you know?
29:33 Connor Wood? I think it's good to move on from, from the, your bucket, you know, like maybe.
29:39 Brooke Averick? It just could have been a nice keepsake, you know, I could have bedazzled it.
29:42 Connor Wood? That would, yeah, I think that, I feel like it might bring back some, it might bring things back up, kind of like vomit wise.
29:50 Brooke Averick? Maybe.
29:51 Connor Wood? Like a conditioned response. You see the bucket. I need to barf into that.
29:56 Brooke Averick? Do you mind if I change the subject real quick?
29:58 Connor Wood? No.
29:59 Brooke Averick? It's just like something that I don't even know if I can talk about. Cause of, I don't know if I have the mental health to talk about off campus right now.
30:08 Connor Wood? I have stuff too from off campus. If you want to go there now or do you want to go there later?
30:13 Brooke Averick? I mean, I think just like, let's rip the Band-Aid off and go there now.
30:16 Connor Wood? Okay.
30:17 Brooke Averick? This is the last thing I needed.
30:19 Connor Wood? Yeah.
30:20 Brooke Averick? Is to feel this way about a fictional character. This is the last thing that I needed. Because you know what? There's a fine line between pleasure and pain.
30:30 Connor Wood? Yeah.
30:30 Brooke Averick? And I am riding that line watching this show.
30:32 Connor Wood? I've only two episodes in. Which character are you feeling this for?
30:35 Brooke Averick? Talking about Garrett Graham.
30:36 Connor Wood? The main guy?
30:37 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
30:37 Connor Wood? Okay. So I'm two episodes in.
30:40 Brooke Averick? Yeah. I'm seven in. I haven't watched the last one yet because I'm saving it for tonight.
30:44 Connor Wood? I'm feeling really proud of myself because I finally saw, I, I heard and I saw people talking about this and I was like, I want to get involved.
30:50 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
30:52 Connor Wood? I want, can I say a couple of things like just genuinely really quick?
30:56 Brooke Averick? You may.
30:56 Connor Wood? Okay. I kind of wrote them down in bullet points and I want to make sure I, and don't be offended by these. I'm two episodes in. Okay?
31:02 Brooke Averick? No, I won't be offended. I also like, I'm not like, wow, this is like the most amazing show. It's just like, I'm in love with this man and like, I'll probably die from it.
31:12 Connor Wood? I have some ideas.
31:13 Brooke Averick? Is he, have you been watching? You don't like spare yourself.
31:18 Connor Wood? I am enjoying the, the press junkets there on more than I did with like any recent show like Heat Rivalry. I didn't really get any like, but I like, I like.
31:27 Brooke Averick? Belmont's freaking amazing, isn't he?
31:29 Connor Wood? Which one's Belmont?
31:30 Brooke Averick? Garrett.
31:30 Connor Wood? Oh, I like, I like, they're pretty entertaining to me and they're press junkets.
31:34 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
31:35 Connor Wood? I want to say something really quick.
31:36 Brooke Averick? Yeah, say it.
31:37 Connor Wood? Um, jump in if you need to, but I have, I have my, I have my own thoughts here.
31:42 Brooke Averick? Okay.
31:42 Connor Wood? And this is like not a personal.
31:47 Connor Wood? It's personal to me.
31:47 Brooke Averick? You're fine. I don't feel like, I'm not like.
31:50 Connor Wood? It's not like me talking about.
31:52 Brooke Averick? It's not, it's not like you talking about like.
31:54 Connor Wood? Hudson Valley and how he dresses and how I don't like it.
31:57 Brooke Averick? No, this is just like, I'm not like, I didn't read the books. I'm not like, this is the most amazing story in the world. I am just in love with this man so much that I feel really, really sick.
32:08 Connor Wood? I, okay. Here's, here's how I feel about it.
32:11 Brooke Averick? It's just hard because he's fictional and a college hockey player written by a woman and he will never exist, never has. I'll never experience anything like it and I never will. And it just doesn't exist in general.
32:22 Connor Wood? Yet.
32:23 Brooke Averick? Mm-hmm. I don't think it ever could.
32:25 Connor Wood? That's closed minded thinking.
32:28 Brooke Averick? All.
32:29 Connor Wood? Which is not like you. You have a very open mind.
32:31 Brooke Averick? Well, all book boyfriends.
32:35 Brooke Averick? 99% of book boyfriends are written by women. And that's really scary.
32:39 Connor Wood? It's an idyllic thing.
32:40 Brooke Averick? It's really scary.
32:41 Connor Wood? That's a good transition into what I'm about to say.
32:43 Brooke Averick? Okay, cuz I'm feeling like, again, fine line between pleasure and pain. I think I'm feeling more pain from this.
32:48 Connor Wood? Okay. I'm jumping in.
32:50 Brooke Averick? Okay, jump.
32:53 Connor Wood? It kind of almost feels wrong watching this. I feel almost a little bit uncomfortable because the acting and the storyline is very Hallmark movie. And then the soft core porn starts.
33:05 Brooke Averick? Sure.
33:06 Connor Wood? And I'm pulled out and it kind of feels like I wasn't supposed to see this and it's on the wrong channel. Like High School Musical, the musical, the porno.
33:13 Brooke Averick? Okay, I see what you're saying. I see what you're saying.
33:15 Connor Wood? And I'm thinking, we're in such a space where this is hitting so often now that I want to almost maybe not encourage people. Maybe we maybe watch porn. And hang on, hang on, before you even say that. I think that would bring things back and I want to say now. And maybe if you're someone that does porn. If you start making it more serialized and create some character arcs.
33:45 Connor Wood? Protagonists, antagonists, you may find some major success very quickly. And if you're a theater kid that has an open mind, you're leaving a lot of money on the table here. I'm seeing a huge opportunity across the board, across many industries. And I think if you are in one. And don't see yourself in the other, maybe take a step back and think about it.
34:06 Brooke Averick? Wait, you're saying theater kids should start doing porn?
34:11 Connor Wood? Yeah.
34:12 Brooke Averick? This isn't porn.
34:13 Connor Wood? Wait, I just shrugged. I know, I'm just saying, we're getting to a place where there's so much of this in everything. And I think that's why it's doing really well because I think that. The Hallmark thing with mixed with this is like a hybrid of something we've never seen. And I'm saying there's a, there's a huge open market for just like people that would watch some really good acting with some sex.
34:32 Brooke Averick? Yeah, that, well, let's.
34:34 Connor Wood? Sex sells.
34:35 Brooke Averick? Let's keep it in these TV shows because I think what people are connecting to is how these sex scenes and intimacy scenes further the story and how they inform the characters that we fall in love with.
34:48 Connor Wood? I'm, what I was thinking is that both are taking a hit on each other and it's like bringing the, the level of the showdown. And I just want to say like for me, I'm watching it and I'm like, I'm enjoying the show. I'm not like really, really attached and I do think that it's like very digestible, but I think that it cannibalizes on the storyline and the acting to have the level of like sex scenes that are, it's, I don't know. That's what I think.
35:15 Brooke Averick? Oh, I definitely, I don't agree. I've really preferred, preferred some of those scenes. Yeah.
35:20 Connor Wood? Yeah. I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm just saying there's an opening on both ends of the spectrum. I just think that for like a TV show.
35:30 Brooke Averick? Sure.
35:31 Connor Wood? If you want to really connect with people, but I guess like for these.
35:34 Brooke Averick? Hey, I'm connected.
35:35 Connor Wood? I know you're connecting.
35:36 Brooke Averick? I'm pretty damn connected.
35:37 Connor Wood? I, I, I can't finish my thought because I didn't then get all the way out, but like I, I think that someone will understand what I'm saying.
35:43 Brooke Averick? We'll, we'll circle back once you finish the beginning sequence of episode five.
35:48 Connor Wood? Perfect.
35:50 Brooke Averick? I just.
35:50 Connor Wood? It won't be for a long time because I won't see you.
35:53 Brooke Averick? Yeah, I won't see you. But hey, I have no doubt in my mind. I'll still be thinking about it.
35:58 Connor Wood? Okay.
35:58 Brooke Averick? Come a month.
35:59 Connor Wood? Perfect.
35:59 Brooke Averick? So we're actually all good there.

37:30 Brooke Averick? I just feel so upset and sick because they really like the Garrett Graham is like the perfect man and I'm just so aware of the fact that he doesn't exist and that I had I my college experience really wasn't like this. Um.
37:50 Connor Wood? And I keep forgetting it's college because they're so high school to me.
37:52 Brooke Averick? It's hard to be in love with a fictional college student as a woman approaching 30. It's harder than I would like it to be.
38:00 Connor Wood? When they.
38:01 Brooke Averick? Fine line between pleasure and pain.
38:02 Connor Wood? When they were drinking, I was like, whoa, this is like euphoria. Cause I forgot they were in college and not high school because it gives the acting and the storyline is really gives high school.
38:11 Brooke Averick? Yeah, it's well, it's college, which is not that much of a difference, but.
38:15 Connor Wood? I think, I don't know, it just didn't, it doesn't like feel, I'm only.
38:18 Brooke Averick? I think, yeah, as I'm watching this, I'm just like so painfully aware that like it's not real and it never will be and. I'm hurt. I'm physically hurting, but I'm also, I can't get enough.
38:32 Connor Wood? That's kind of how I feel when I watch like Harry Potter and then I turn it off. I'm like, oh.
38:35 Brooke Averick? Yeah, I want to be a wizard.
38:36 Connor Wood? I'm in my hotel, just like eating Chipotle in my bed.
38:39 Brooke Averick? That's, that is how I'm feeling about this.
38:41 Connor Wood? Yeah, my life's like a little bit different than.
38:44 Brooke Averick? That is really how I'm feeling about this.
38:45 Connor Wood? Than that because it's fictional.
38:46 Brooke Averick? Now.
38:47 Connor Wood? Fantasy.
38:47 Brooke Averick? While I'm having a relationship, a really strong attachment to the character of Garrett Graham on screen. Off screen, I'm having a really strong relationship to the young man who plays his friend, John Logan.
39:00 Connor Wood? I don't know.
39:01 Brooke Averick? He's the one that Hannah kissed after Garrett, you know, and she, they were like making out. She's like, no, I don't.
39:08 Connor Wood? In the gym?
39:08 Brooke Averick? Locker room, like I, I don't blush. Yeah, him.
39:11 Connor Wood? Yeah.
39:12 Brooke Averick? Antonio Cipriano. He is.
39:15 Connor Wood? Italian.
39:16 Brooke Averick? Yep. They're both Italian. Belmonte as well. And he's a theater kid. He was in this musical called In Pieces. There's this song called Bloom. Y'all have to go listen right now. It's going to be the number one on my Spotify rap. I'm so sick. He's so talented and he dated Renee Rapp. And he is, yeah, he is who she wrote that song in the kitchen, in the living room, dancing in the kitchen alone.
39:45 Connor Wood? Oh, wow.
39:46 Brooke Averick? So that's, so think about that for a second.
39:49 Connor Wood? I am.
39:51 Brooke Averick? Think about how, how powerful the emotions have to be to write a song like that. I, I haven't necessarily ever listened to the song in full and now I can't because I'm too, it's too charged for me. But just, that's a lot of lore.
40:10 Connor Wood? That's good to know. I didn't know that.
40:11 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
40:11 Connor Wood? That'll be good to know.
40:12 Brooke Averick? So keep that in mind moving forward. I wish they didn't give him like a blowout on the show. Cause he has this really gorgeous curly hair and they are kind of like blowing out his bangs in a way I'm not comfortable with on the show. I can't, none of these pictures are really doing, like, he has really curly hair. And then the show, they like, he's sweaty in these pictures, so it's like, the curls are there. Maybe the first one is he? No, that's a good one. I just, in the show, they're more, he has more of a blowout. In the show, he has more of a blowout.
40:44 Connor Wood? We'll just pay attention when we watch the show.
40:45 Brooke Averick? Yeah, and, so I'm looking forward to his season as well. And, yeah, I just feel pretty sick about the whole thing.
40:55 Connor Wood? I can't help you.
40:56 Brooke Averick? No, no one can. I'm so far beyond help. And like, I guess this is what people were feeling like with the summer I turned pretty.
41:02 Connor Wood? I didn't watch that either.
41:05 Brooke Averick? I thought I was a lesbian during that. I'm being so serious, because everyone was like, oh my god. These boys, and I was just like, I'm not, I'm, I think, I must be gay, because like, this is something that I should enjoy, just based off of everything about me, and the fact that I'm not, and like, the way that my mind works, is like, I'm gay.
41:28 Brooke Averick? But I think the problem here was like, these, they're, these two young men, like, and I don't like to use the word pussy, because...
41:36 Connor Wood? What were you gonna say?
41:37 Brooke Averick? Especially when like, referring to like, a weak man, because like, obviously, like, if you're thinking about the like, vagina of it all.
41:47 Brooke Averick? Like, I don't want to equate like, that to weakness, but like, these two are pussies, like, genuinely through and through. Garrett Graham is a man, despite him being in college, and, and completely fictional. So that is the disparity there. It wasn't that I was gay, I said, these two are pussies, and, may, who knows? Who knows what'll happen?
42:09 Brooke Averick? With, with future shows, maybe I'll be gay again, but right now...
42:12 Connor Wood? Super cute, not a match.
42:13 Brooke Averick? So not a match. And I feel even in more confident in, Summer Turned Pretty was not my show, now that I've found my show.
42:23 Connor Wood? Okay.
42:25 Brooke Averick? And I think I'm now realizing, like, this is another reason, like, why I loved Heated Rivalry so much, is like, I don't feel this type of pain, like, I didn't, that's, that story couldn't have happened to me. You know, whereas like, it's easy to convince myself, like, with Off Campus, because it's a straight romance, like, this could have been me, and it's not, it never will be. So I think there's not this like, pain when I'm watching Heated Rivalry, that I'm experiencing this pain with a straight romance that I don't prefer.
42:52 Connor Wood? I just can't believe this show is having enough
42:53 Brooke Averick? I know, I'm like so sick. I'm like so sick.
42:56 Connor Wood? Because it is genuinely a Hallmark
42:58 Brooke Averick? I know, I'm, it's, I'm not saying it's, I'm not saying it's even like an amazing TV show. It's this specific character and like the relationship. Just everything about him.
43:08 Connor Wood? You wanna fuck the trope.
43:10 Brooke Averick? I'm, I love a trope. I just like wanna romance is done well. And if they create a fictional man of this caliber.
43:20 Connor Wood? Yeah, we just got to the bottom of it. It's, it's
43:22 Brooke Averick? It's like so painful for me.
43:23 Connor Wood? I get it.
43:25 Brooke Averick? I will never find anyone like this because he does not exist.
43:29 Connor Wood? Well, you're not in college.
43:32 Brooke Averick? I, that's what I'm saying.
43:34 Connor Wood? Working at, working six, nine to five.
43:35 Brooke Averick? That's the, that's the frickin' problem.
43:37 Connor Wood? She could not work at more places.
43:39 Brooke Averick? No, she couldn't.
43:40 Connor Wood? Like, no wonder she's seeing him all the time. You work everywhere on campus. What, I have not seen her back in the locker room even once. She's at the diner. And she's tutoring and like, no wonder their schedules just aren't a match.
43:57 Connor Wood? She reminds me, by the way, when she puts on her apron, there's a video, like an OG video of a, of a girl that works in, at like a fast food restaurant. She goes, and it like pulls her
44:09 Connor Wood? boobs up. Can we pull that? Is he, do you know what I'm talking about? While Brooke stares blankly at me like, where are you going now? Like, I need you to, can we pull that up? Do you know what I'm talking about? Well, type in, um, apron boobs, video TikTok.
44:26 Brooke Averick? This should be good. Girl tightening apron pizza hut.
44:29 Connor Wood? Thank you. That's what I'm looking for. This is her getting ready to serve him coffee even though she's late.
44:34 Brooke Averick? They're, they're blurring out.
44:35 Connor Wood? No, no, that's not her. No one
44:38 Brooke Averick? You see her?
44:38 Connor Wood? It is that first video. It's just, she's, this, this girl is saying, I'll never be her. It's, we can watch the first one and then wait until the edit cuts.
44:49 Connor Wood? This is, cause I'll never be him. This girl.
44:53 Brooke Averick? Okay.
44:54 Connor Wood? That's her getting ready to serve him breakfast.
44:57 Brooke Averick? Do you know that the actress that plays Hannah is 19?
45:00 Connor Wood? Whoa. That's awesome. So she's, she's performing in a role that she literally could be experiencing in real life.
45:09 Brooke Averick? She could be.
45:10 Connor Wood? Okay.
45:10 Brooke Averick? Also, like, the girlfriends of these men are so, so strong.
45:17 Connor Wood? Compartmentalization.
45:19 Brooke Averick? Yeah. As much as I've always wanted to date an actor, I could never date an actor.
45:22 Connor Wood? I mean, it goes back. We have this conversation.
45:24 Brooke Averick? I do. I have to date a hockey player. I'm really serious. I think it's always been an athlete.
45:28 Connor Wood? That's great.
45:29 Brooke Averick? I've always said that.
45:29 Connor Wood? Perfect. TikTok, do your thang.
45:34 Brooke Averick? So depressed.
45:36 Connor Wood? No, it's great.
45:38 Brooke Averick? It's not. It's not great.
45:39 Connor Wood? It's great to have something that you care about and you can re-watch.
45:43 Brooke Averick? I'm not re-watching this.
45:44 Connor Wood? Well, you have a last.
45:45 Brooke Averick? You have a booger now hanging out of your nose.
45:47 Connor Wood? I know. Okay. I'm just trying to get us from point A to point being done with off-campus conversation. Like, if it takes a booger being out, then that's fine. Okay. This is a good time to throw in right now that the Brooke and Connor cooking video is out on YouTube. I'd love if everyone went and watched it. We had a really, that was really fun. Something about us in a kitchen, just like, it really brings out some real, is there any?
46:08 Brooke Averick? It reminds me of Antonio.
46:09 Connor Wood? No. No. Something about us in a kitchen, it is just like, we're funny in a kitchen.
46:15 Brooke Averick? I was having a really hard time talking and cooking.
46:18 Connor Wood? It was fun.
46:20 Brooke Averick? That's not what I said.
46:21 Connor Wood? What'd you say?
46:29 Brooke Averick? I said, I was having a really hard time talking and cooking.
46:33 Connor Wood? Oh, it was hard.
46:34 Brooke Averick? And then you said, "It was fun."
46:37 Connor Wood? That's, you hear what you want to hear. I had fun. It was a good time.
46:43 Brooke Averick? No, it was so much fun.
46:46 Brooke Averick? It was a challenge.
46:47 Connor Wood? Yeah, I enjoyed it. Please go watch it. It was really, really fun. Thank you to Channing for.
46:52 Brooke Averick? She's so good.
46:53 Connor Wood? She was.
46:54 Brooke Averick? She definitely stole the show.
46:55 Connor Wood? Always does. So does Tristan.
46:57 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
46:57 Connor Wood? When they step in.
46:58 Brooke Averick? They're co-dealers.
46:59 Connor Wood? They are.
47:01 Connor Wood? So I'm self-conscious now.
47:03 Brooke Averick? About your book?
47:03 Connor Wood? Yeah.
47:04 Brooke Averick? You got it. I watched it come up.
47:05 Connor Wood? Every time.
47:06 Brooke Averick? From your nose and on your finger.
47:07 Connor Wood? Oh, good.
47:08 Brooke Averick? That's a good way to pull me from Garrett Graham.
47:10 Connor Wood? Good. Now I know. I know what to do.
47:14 Connor Wood? It's just like hard to move forward.
47:18 Brooke Averick? It's done.
47:18 Connor Wood? From Booger Gate.
47:19 Brooke Averick? It's all done.
47:21 Connor Wood? Okay.
47:24 Connor Wood? What was I gonna say? I was in Milwaukee this weekend. I'm just trying to get us somewhere.
47:27 Brooke Averick? Yeah. Why were you in Milwaukee?
47:29 Connor Wood? I had a show. It was really great. It was great. I got to spend some time in Chicago too. Like, I love Chicago.
47:34 Brooke Averick? I love Chicago, but only from like late May to October.
47:38 Connor Wood? Yeah, I forgot that it's bad, but I like, before my flight, was it yesterday I flew in? No, day before. Before my flight, I jumped in the lake and I was just got out and I was like.
47:49 Brooke Averick? You were in Chicago?
47:50 Connor Wood? Flew out of Chicago because Milwaukee's a few minutes away.
47:53 Brooke Averick? Got it.
47:53 Connor Wood? But that's why I was supposed to come in that night.
47:55 Brooke Averick? What was the temperature in Chicago?
47:57 Connor Wood? It was 80 degrees.
47:58 Brooke Averick? Wow.
47:58 Connor Wood? Yeah. It was really nice, but I love Chicago. Chicago is kind of like this fake city to me. No offense to people who live in Chicago. I love Chicago, but it's like, it not being New York or LA and that's like my two, the two cities to me is like New York, LA. And you go to Chicago, it's like, what are you?
48:12 Brooke Averick? No, if Chicago didn't have that weather, it would be the most popular city.
48:19 Connor Wood? Yeah.
48:20 Brooke Averick? It's amazing.
48:22 Connor Wood? Like, New York to me is like boy, LA to me is girl, and then Chicago to me is like.
48:27 Brooke Averick? Non-binary?
48:28 Connor Wood? Non-binary. Chicago, the non-binary city.
48:32 Brooke Averick? Interesting.
48:32 Connor Wood? Yeah. But I love that. I just adore walking around Chicago.
48:36 Brooke Averick? No, I love Chicago.
48:39 Connor Wood? I might join, which is really scary to me. When I was, when I was there, there was a lot of run clubs and I was like, this is a city I would probably join a run club in.
48:45 Brooke Averick? No.
48:45 Connor Wood? Yeah, which is disgusting to say.
48:47 Brooke Averick? It is.
48:48 Connor Wood? It's a, I can't believe I just said that publicly. I could see my, I could see myself in a run club in Chicago.
48:55 Brooke Averick? What?
48:55 Connor Wood? And don't invite me to do, I'm not gonna actually do it, but I, it's like a fun fantasy for me. It's like, I could be, to picture myself as like a, get ready with me as a whatever in Chicago. 5:00 AM, I wouldn't be doing the 5:00 AM stuff, but like 8:00 AM, heading out to a run club. Coffee, coffee after with my run club homies.
49:15 Brooke Averick? That's like not sounding good to me.
49:17 Connor Wood? What would you?
49:17 Brooke Averick? But I, I love that.
49:19 Connor Wood? And then we talked, last night, we did a kind of like a live show, an adulting live show.
49:25 Brooke Averick? Of sorts, yeah.
49:25 Connor Wood? And the young man that opened for us, Chris Higgins, who's so funny, he said that he moved to Chicago because he travels so much that it makes more sense for him to be there than New York and LA.
49:36 Brooke Averick? Whoa.
49:37 Connor Wood? He's like, cause I'm-
49:37 Brooke Averick? I never thought of just moving to the middle for ease. Maybe you should do that.
49:41 Connor Wood? No, maybe, no. I would move to Austin before I moved to Chicago.
49:45 Brooke Averick? I was about to say, you could do a southern middle.
49:47 Connor Wood? Yeah, southern charm.
49:48 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
49:51 Connor Wood? And I just want to say publicly, I was doing a moving in silence thing. I think when, when the gratification I needed was you being like, "Why didn't you tell me you were doing Netflix as a joke?" And like, I was like, "I'm so awesome." Like, the fact that I held that in, and I posted yesterday, I think my moving in silence era is coming to an end. And everybody responded to me-
50:08 Brooke Averick? You were doing intentional, like, waiting for me to ask, like, why didn't you tell me?
50:12 Connor Wood? No, no, no, no, no. I was just like, I talk about myself so much, and it's just like, you should, and this is also bad. And I'm just gonna, we're doing, this is kind of like a more philosophical episode, I think, than we've done traditionally.
50:23 Brooke Averick? Yes.
50:25 Connor Wood? But I see everybody winning so much that like, people have bigger wins, and I'm like, I'm like, I don't even feel like I need to announce this win, even though it is a win. And then it ends, and I'm like, "Oh, like, that was a really cool thing that I did."
50:36 Brooke Averick? Yes.
50:36 Connor Wood? And I didn't talk about it. And it's a milestone that even two years ago, I would have been like, one day, and I said publicly on the podcast, someone DM'd me and was like, "You were talking about wanting to be on Netflix as a joke, and then you do it, but then everyone else that I surround myself with is so successful that I'm like, 'Oh, I like that when I post this little win.'" But, so I didn't, because I was moving in silence, fuck moving in silence.
50:58 Brooke Averick? I totally agree.
50:59 Connor Wood? I want to tell people, if I'm hungry and I'm craving ham, hey, I'm craving ham. Because if that relates, if that, if that resonates with one person-
51:11 Connor Wood? Then I've done my job.
51:12 Brooke Averick? It is not a bad thing to be proud of yourself.
51:14 Connor Wood? I know, being proud, but like-
51:15 Brooke Averick? There's a difference between being egotistical and being proud of yourself.
51:18 Connor Wood? It's hard when you're in your head. I think it almost like you having OCD might relate. It's like, I post this thing and it's like, shut the fuck up for a minute if you don't mind.
51:27 Brooke Averick? Oh, how do you think I felt the past 10 months having to post Phoebe every day? I feel like everyone hates me.
51:32 Connor Wood? No, that's not true, but that's funny because that's what you think and then I don't think that. It's like, it's funny.
51:38 Brooke Averick? Oh, yeah, I've convinced myself that everyone thinks I'm so annoying and hates me. And I'm gonna do, I'm gonna do a full like two months offline once, once it's done.
51:47 Connor Wood? I will say, I, this cathartic ass episode.
51:50 Brooke Averick? It's fine, we needed it.
51:51 Connor Wood? Can we, can we just, can we title this cathartic? Is it catharticism?
51:56 Brooke Averick? We need it.
51:57 Connor Wood? I don't know, we'll look up a better word to put it, but it's definitely cathartic.
51:59 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
51:59 Connor Wood? We're releasing a lot of things here.
52:01 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
52:02 Connor Wood? You just almost like, you were like, I thought I was a lesbian, like this is like completely, we're realizing things.
52:07 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
52:07 Connor Wood? Oh, let's, let's title it realizing things. Or realize, realize, realize.
52:14 Brooke Averick? Okay, whatever you want. We can talk about it later.
52:16 Connor Wood? Okay.
52:17 Brooke Averick? Or now, whatever you want.
52:18 Connor Wood? I don't know, I just thought it'd be fun for everyone to see like in real time, how our brains are working.
52:23 Brooke Averick? Celebrating the wins?
52:24 Connor Wood? Yeah. Well, it was less like that. It was just like, I actually narcissist, what I'm about to say.
52:32 Connor Wood? I was like, I think people probably think it's cool that I'm not posting and then I started posting and it was like, no one actually gave a shit. So now I'm gonna start posting and being annoying again, I think.
52:41 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
52:41 Connor Wood? Which is great.
52:42 Brooke Averick? I have an interesting thing that I always wonder.
52:48 Brooke Averick? People like think that I'm humble.
52:52 Connor Wood? Yeah.
52:52 Brooke Averick? Because I don't like to talk about like things that I have accomplished, but I don't think I'm humble. Like, I think I get really, I actually do get really like privately proud.
53:07 Connor Wood? Yeah.
53:07 Brooke Averick? But I'm just so scared to be perceived as annoying.
53:11 Connor Wood? Yeah, me too. Get in line.
53:12 Brooke Averick? That it's not me being, it's not humility at all. It's, it's fear of being annoying.
53:16 Connor Wood? That's interesting, yeah.
53:18 Brooke Averick? I don't think I'm humble. Like, on the inside, I'm not humble. I'm like, I'm cool. Like, this is great and yay. But on the outside, I'm not saying it because I don't want to be annoying, not because I'm humble.
53:29 Connor Wood? That was like kind of the- A similar vein of like that, oh, everyone else is doing so well. Why would I even be excited about this? This win?
53:39 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
53:40 Connor Wood? I don't know where like to go with that realization, but I think that it's good that.
53:46 Brooke Averick? It's good to get it out.
53:46 Connor Wood? Yeah, we said it.
53:47 Brooke Averick? Yeah. Is there anything else that we need to get off our chests?
53:51 Connor Wood? I guess like now is a good time to do it. I told you when I get my next therapist, I have a list of things like a laundry list.
53:58 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
53:58 Connor Wood? They'll be, that'll be cathartic.
54:00 Brooke Averick? Oh, God, yeah.
54:01 Connor Wood? Yeah. There's a, there's a lot of things on it. It's actually like all stuff I've said on the podcast too, which.
54:07 Brooke Averick? Do you want to run through some of it?
54:08 Connor Wood? No, no, I'm okay.
54:09 Brooke Averick? Okay.
54:09 Connor Wood? It's not private. I just like, I, it will, it will scare me to say out loud.
54:12 Brooke Averick? Okay. That's fine.
54:14 Connor Wood? I think in one vein, it, there is like that thing that you said you thought you did nine 11 for a long time. You convince yourself. I kind of have that thing too, where it's like, I think that I'm secretly evil and I'm getting by every day and no one realizes and I'm like.
54:28 Brooke Averick? That is, that is a genuine form of OCD of like you thinking you're a bad person.
54:32 Connor Wood? Yeah.
54:33 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
54:33 Connor Wood? That's what I feel every day. It's like, it's based on, it's based not in any truth.
54:38 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
54:38 Connor Wood? What is that?
54:39 Brooke Averick? OCD.
54:40 Connor Wood? I don't think that I have OCD.
54:43 Brooke Averick? Therapist about it.
54:43 Connor Wood? I will.
54:45 Brooke Averick? But so many people with OCD think that they're evil.
54:48 Connor Wood? Can I say, I don't think I'm evil, like I'm gonna kill everybody, but like, okay, maybe.
54:53 Brooke Averick? Well, a lot of people with OCD are like having thoughts of like, oh, I'm gonna kill this person like intrusively and like think that that must mean like I am a bad person and like that's who I am at my core.
55:02 Connor Wood? I don't feel that. I don't have any like malice in, in terms of like killing.
55:06 Brooke Averick? I used to have that when I was little and I would think about killing people and then I'd be like, maybe that's the real me.
55:11 Connor Wood? Mine's based on nothing. It's just like, oh, I like, I like imposter syndrome, I guess. That's probably what it is. I was gonna say, you know what I started taking? Cause I went to the Eastern medicine store.
55:22 Brooke Averick? Oxygondas?
55:22 Connor Wood? Nope. That didn't work for me. I went to the Eastern medicine store with me and me when I was home and she was picking up something and I picked up NADH plus.
55:33 Brooke Averick? I've heard of that.
55:34 Connor Wood? And I, I picked up, um, L-theanine.
55:37 Brooke Averick? I've heard of both of those.
55:38 Connor Wood? Taking them both on an empty stomach. I don't know. It could be, it could completely be placebo. I have never felt, even in the face of like. True things that should really freak me out.
55:53 Connor Wood? Anxiety, scheduling, big shows, Netflix is a joke, all these things. I have never been more unbothered by anything ever in my life.
56:02 Brooke Averick? Are you serious?
56:02 Connor Wood? I'm serious.
56:04 Brooke Averick? Are these both supposed to be for your mental?
56:07 Connor Wood? I don't know.
56:08 Brooke Averick? What made you pick them up?
56:10 Connor Wood? Uh, L-theanine is supposed to help with often combined supplements to target stress and cellular aging. NAD plus supports cellular energy and repair, but I think that it helps your cognition.
56:20 Brooke Averick? Wow.
56:20 Connor Wood? Too. So I think maybe that is maybe just, it's just working in the background to work through things that are stupid and shouldn't cause me stress.
56:26 Brooke Averick? Got it.
56:26 Connor Wood? And then L-theanine is like for something too. I guess stress, relaxation and focus. Yeah, hell yeah. That's what I wanted them to do. Wow. I never double checked, but that's great.
56:37 Brooke Averick? I just get so confused with supplements.
56:40 Connor Wood? Highly suggest these two, and that's not medical advice. It's just working for me.
56:45 Connor Wood? And now I will say that one thing that did cause me a lot of stress was Tom Brady's face recently.
56:50 Brooke Averick? Oh, I didn't see it.
56:51 Connor Wood? Holy moly. I almost, every day I, I hold myself back from posting it on my Instagram story because I don't want it to stick with anybody else, but there's a picture of him. That, no, wait, no, it's not even that one. Izzy, it's this one. Like, sorry, I threw up. It's this picture and he's in front of the Gucci mansion. It's a paparazzi picture. It's, this is what I looked like. They finally took my harmonica at the airport.
57:18 Brooke Averick? No.
57:21 Connor Wood? Yeah, it's that one.
57:23 Brooke Averick? Yeah. So he's just gotten a lot of work done, huh?
57:25 Connor Wood? That was me thinking that they were about to.
57:27 Brooke Averick? He got that, that boogal fat removal.
57:29 Connor Wood? Yeah, but he's a little bit like past getting boogal fat removal. Like you should have just kept it.
57:35 Brooke Averick? I am all for a fashionable man.
57:42 Brooke Averick? But like, he has lost his roots.
57:45 Connor Wood? Well, I think that this is, the, the, this is what someone looks like when they're
57:51 Connor Wood? very desperately trying to get their ex-wife's attention.
57:54 Brooke Averick? Do you think?
57:55 Connor Wood? This is like when people have their arc in the gym, when they're like. Usually it's a guy and I see it all the time on videos where it's like, "We broke up and then I got..." Or no, actually I've seen night girls do it too, where it's just like,
58:09 Brooke Averick? Yeah, girls do.
58:09 Connor Wood? I have my arc in the gym. You get like really buff or you get like really toned or you get really hot. He's doing an opposite, different third option called get really scary. And he's doing a lot of things that, you know, this is like an, this is like an NFL superstar legend and he's doing a lot of interesting moves. And I think that it,
58:33 Connor Wood? there's no way Gisele is not noticing this young man.
58:36 Brooke Averick? Well, yeah, of course she's gonna notice. Yeah, that, that's, wait, who's on the left?
58:41 Connor Wood? That's him.
58:42 Brooke Averick? I've never seen that person. How did he get to the person on the right?
58:48 Brooke Averick? Is that, is that natural aging?
58:50 Connor Wood? I think it would be about a billion or so dollars to get you to the place on the right.
58:55 Connor Wood? But he looks younger now than he did.
58:56 Brooke Averick? I'm so confused.
58:57 Connor Wood? That's Caucasian James on the far left.
58:58 Brooke Averick? I was gonna say, like, how did he, why was he born as Caucasian James? And then how did he transition to Tom Brady?
59:05 Connor Wood? Oh, it's incredible. But the reason this photo came up is because this was, this profile, or this paparazzi photo was genuinely how I was standing, wondering what, what they were gonna pull out of my bag at TSA and I'm just standing there like sucking on my cheeks, just like, and it was my harmonica and I was like, oh.
59:22 Brooke Averick? Didn't they take it before? Or they just were inspecting it?
59:25 Connor Wood? They, it flashes really, really brightly on the x-ray.
59:29 Brooke Averick? Why do you keep bringing it?
59:31 Connor Wood? Because they shove it back in my bag and this time they're like, we gotta, and I was like, just, keep it. This is causing me so much trouble. Anyways, that's all I have to say about Tom Brady, but he did stick with me. He's been, that picture of him is in my camera roll and I will be using that at some point.
59:46 Brooke Averick? I get that.
59:47 Connor Wood? I will say, um, one quick learning moment for me, which I don't know. Do you know what an Americano is?
59:53 Brooke Averick? Like the coffee?
59:54 Connor Wood? Yeah.
59:54 Brooke Averick? Like, I know what it is, but I don't actually like know what's in it. Isn't it just like a black coffee essentially?
1:00:00 Connor Wood? Thank you. No, it's not.
1:00:04 Connor Wood? When I was studying abroad over the summer and I was
1:00:08 Brooke Averick? Where were you studying abroad over the summer?
1:00:10 Connor Wood? I went to, where did I, oh, I guess I didn't leave the country. When I was studying abroad over the winter, when I went to the, when I was in Italy. I kept being like, can I just have a black coffee? And they were like, an Americano? And I was like, great. So maybe that's just what they call our coffee, because like, they don't drink black coffee, they're classy, so. I'm like, yeah, I'll do an Americano, you know, like, whatever. And then my hotel that I'm at, the coffee shop that's in it, doesn't have black coffee either, because they're like fancy, and
1:00:38 Brooke Averick? If they have coffee, they have black coffee.
1:00:40 Connor Wood? It's like a thing where it's just like, okay, guys, yeah, I'll get an Americano. Like, for you guys, I'll get an Americano. But it's like, how hard is it to just brew a pot, you know? But I was like, okay, yeah, I'll do an Americano. I've been having them every day. And even with my new, the pills that I'm on, NADH, and, I almost said Phoebe Berman, and L-theanine.
1:01:03 Brooke Averick? People keep calling her Phoebe Berman, and that's not sitting right.
1:01:06 Connor Wood? I'm sorry.
1:01:07 Brooke Averick? And it hits the ear poorly.
1:01:09 Connor Wood? Yeah, it doesn't roll. An Americano is three shots of espresso, and I've been having full-blown shaking fits, what's going on with me? I can't drink coffee anymore. I've been cutting coffee completely out of my diet. And then the other day, they were like, yeah, you've been drinking three shots of espresso on top of like, a second cup of coffee.
1:01:28 Brooke Averick? Wow.
1:01:29 Connor Wood? So my body was completely shutting down.
1:01:31 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
1:01:31 Connor Wood? An Americano is just purely espresso and water.
1:01:37 Brooke Averick? And water?
1:01:37 Connor Wood? Yeah.
1:01:38 Brooke Averick? Interesting.
1:01:39 Connor Wood? Yeah.
1:01:39 Brooke Averick? My favorite type of coffee in the world is just diner coffee.
1:01:43 Connor Wood? Yeah.
1:01:44 Brooke Averick? With cream and sugar.
1:01:46 Connor Wood? I like when the spoon hits the porcelain
1:01:48 Brooke Averick? I do too.
1:01:49 Connor Wood? I like the noise it makes when everyone's stirring their coffee at the same time.
1:01:52 Brooke Averick? I like that too.
1:01:54 Connor Wood? We have an awesome podcast.
1:01:55 Brooke Averick? I agree.

1:02:16 Brooke Averick? Oh, I love that. We kind of, I can't believe we didn't do that at all today. It really came and went, didn't it?
1:02:20 Connor Wood? It was something where like, I think at the end of the episode, if you were to watch the tapes back, we do kinda like, we're like, this is annoying.
1:02:26 Brooke Averick? Oh, it's horrible.
1:02:27 Connor Wood? Yeah, no, but I, we, we kinda like, we were dying laughing at the beginning. And then we're like, no, yeah, no, yeah, hello.
1:02:33 Brooke Averick? Oh, hi.
1:02:33 Connor Wood? Yeah.
1:02:34 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
1:02:34 Connor Wood? Just kinda like lost the spark, which it's great to see something come and go.
1:02:38 Brooke Averick? I think it's great. Again, quit while you're ahead. It was fun and now it's not.

1:02:42 Brooke Averick? Yeah. We totally killed that one.
