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

• 0:55Connor Wood?

  Hi, guys. Welcome back to Brooke and Connor Make a Podcast. We're in New York City together. Against all odds, we're in New York.

• 1:01Brooke Averick?

  Against all odds.

• 1:08Brooke Averick?

  Against all odds.

• 1:11Connor Wood?

  Hi, I'm all odd.

• 1:13Brooke Averick?

  Nice to meet you. I'm against.

• 1:15Connor Wood?

  Yeah, you've been pushing. You've been so close to me.

• 1:18Brooke Averick?

  I can't even, like, obviously, I've been in communication with you. But you don't know the full story of what's just happened to me.

• 1:26Connor Wood?

  So Brooke was in Philly. And then came here ever so graciously because I'm off the grid next week. Which happens every, every year. I do this trip to Michigan. And we have tried to record a podcast. And I want everyone to know that, like, I go and stay with my grandma's house. And she has not but a fax machine. So I drive to McDonald's and sit in their parking lot and have to buy enough stuff to where they don't call in like a bomb threat that I'm sitting in my car right outside with my laptop up against my face for two hours. Anyways.

• 2:04Brooke Averick?

  Anyways, yeah, so we had some scheduling issues. And I was like, you know what? I will come to you in New York. I've been traveling so much, like, what's one more, like, hour and a half?

• 2:15Connor Wood?

  I will come.

• 2:16Brooke Averick?

  Train ride, I will come. What's one more 30 minute drive to the train station? Hour and a half train, then 30 minute drive? No problem, I will do it. And I like the Amtrak.

• 2:27Connor Wood?

  The Amtrak is awesome.

• 2:28Brooke Averick?

  Sorry, let me rephrase. I liked the Amtrak.

• 2:32Connor Wood?

  Well said. And what you'll find in the bonus is that I said, I'm not that you can't do it. Not that you're not capable of doing it. I'm shocked that you took the train.

• 2:41Brooke Averick?

  I'm, Connor, I'm pretty shocked. It was kind of like a spur of the moment, like, you know what?

• 2:45Connor Wood?

  You know what? I'll take the train.

• 2:47Brooke Averick?

  I'll just do it. I'll just do it. It's just easier for everyone. I'm gonna do it. And it's not a decision I typically make. It's not a decision I'm typically comfortable with. But hey, whatever. Because I used to like the Amtrak when I was younger. And got on, no problems. In fact, it was, it was a great, I was having a great ride. I had gotten my own seat, my own window seat. I was riding, which I always find that to be super romantic when you're riding on the Northeast Regional Rail.

• 3:18Brooke Averick?

  Train stopped. I think nothing of it. Then the lights went out and the AC went off.

• 3:26Connor Wood?

  Murder on the Orient.

• 3:27Brooke Averick?

  Started to think a little bit more about it.

• 3:28Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 3:29Brooke Averick?

  10 minutes go by. I asked the woman next to me, like, hey, have they said anything? Because I was listening to my music. And she said, yeah, they're just fixing a maintenance issue. Okay, no problem. Usually, when I hear maintenance issue, I think I'm done. You know, like, like, well, I'm just like, it's canceled. Like, this is gonna be worst case scenario. But for whatever reason, I had a positive attitude today.

• 3:52Connor Wood?

  That's where it all went wrong.

• 3:54Brooke Averick?

  Which I don't usually have. And so I was like, oh, my God, no problem. And what's amazing is I have my little portable fan. I never have my little portable fan. And so that was really exciting. And I said, that's a good sign. Everything's gonna go well today. 10 more minutes pass, 20, they say that the entire line, the entire rail that we were on is down.

• 4:15Connor Wood?

  How does a rail go down?

• 4:17Brooke Averick?

  I'm not, I don't know.

• 4:18Connor Wood?

  On account of it being old as dirt? You'd think that they'd have found a way to keep it up and running.

• 4:23Brooke Averick?

  I honestly don't know how the entire rail went down or what happened to the other trains that might have been on that rail. But the entire rail was down, 30 minutes had gone by at this point. I'm still like, not worried they're gonna fix the rail. I have absolute faith in them. An hour passes. They say, we are gonna get you onto another train. And I'm shocked at this point because I had had a positive attitude. Which I really thought was gonna take me far. So, all right, no worries. We're just gonna get onto another Amtrak. No problem.

• 4:57Brooke Averick?

  Eventually, another, another hour had passed as I'm sitting on the Amtrak with no AC until we one by one start filing into New Jersey Transit car, train. So that, and that took about an hour because it was a one by one filing only out the cafe cart. For whatever reason, we were only able to exit out of the cafe cart.

• 5:17Connor Wood?

  Any sense right there? And that's where I would have started going.

• 5:23Connor Wood?

  That's where I would have started going.

• 5:26Connor Wood?

  There.

• 5:27Brooke Averick?

  Like, that's when your flip would have switched?

• 5:29Connor Wood?

  No, that was when I, that's when I would start going there.

• 5:34Brooke Averick?

  I don't think I know what you mean by there.

• 5:36Connor Wood?

  Just like get.

• 5:37Brooke Averick?

  To a darker place?

• 5:38Connor Wood?

  Get like totally there.

• 5:39Brooke Averick?

  Like, to a darker place?

• 5:40Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 5:41Brooke Averick?

  Connor, believe it or not, I mean, you know me, I'm the quickest person to go to the darkest place imaginable. The darkest place imaginable. I'm still fine.

• 5:49Connor Wood?

  I'm going, I'm going.

• 5:53Brooke Averick?

  I'm still fine. I was like, you know what? Like, hey, even though this Jersey Transit train, I don't, it's not my favorite.

• 6:00Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 6:01Brooke Averick?

  There's no AC on here either. I'm still getting to New York and I'm gonna be there, maybe a little bit late. But, you know, it's, whatever. I've gotten on the train, the delay is done. I don't know if you've ever been on the New Jersey Transit?

• 6:14Connor Wood?

  Not yet.

• 6:14Brooke Averick?

  So I was able, you're driving next to, not even the highway, just, just roads. And I was watching as the cars passed us, as the cars going 25, 25 miles per hour passing us.

• 6:27Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 6:29Brooke Averick?

  We also stopped every eight seconds. There's a lot of train stations in New Jersey and we passed, we each stopped at every single one of them. And so I would say I was on the New Jersey Transit for maybe two hours before I said, I'm getting off in, at a stop in New Jersey. And Ubering to Connor.

• 6:47Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 6:49Brooke Averick?

  So that's what I did. Uber was 125. I'm sorry, I didn't take an Uber. I took a taxi. Because I was just so anxious. I was so anxious to get to you. There was one taxi that I don't think was a real taxi. And I said, can I go to New York? And he said, like, Manhattan? And I was like, yeah. And he was like, okay, 125. And I was just like, I don't care. Like, at this point, like, I'll give you, which is bad. Because like, then I think he, he knew he could get more out of me. Which he did. And because of the tolls and stuff like that. I was like, I literally was just like, here's my, here's my wallet. Here's my social security card.

• 7:31Brooke Averick?

  Like, get me to this studio.

• 7:35Connor Wood?

  The tolls is bugs.

• 7:36Brooke Averick?

  Tolls is bugs. And I think, I'm here now. When, when I got into the taxi, that's when I really started to feel like I'll never see you. And I will never get here.

• 7:48Connor Wood?

  I wish, anyone that's right here in the podcast, if you don't mind listening to the bonus episode first. This like chronologically, chronologically will make so much more sense.

• 7:59Brooke Averick?

  I was supposed to get to New York with an hour and a half to spare. I was so excited to like, go to a cafe or bookstore. Got here, that whole journey was five plus hours.

• 8:08Connor Wood?

  If, if you don't know as well, Brooke didn't make it for the episode, the previous episode. So I just sat down and did an entirely solo bonus.

• 8:15Brooke Averick?

  Good for you. That's not easy and thank you. And I'm sorry.

• 8:17Connor Wood?

  No, I just like, I don't know really how that's gonna, I've never done that.

• 8:22Brooke Averick?

  But you called me, so you had called me in that episode right as I had gotten off in.

• 8:29Brooke Averick?

  Saatika.

• 8:31Connor Wood?

  No, you were in, no, you were, it sounded like Caucasian.

• 8:34Brooke Averick?

  It sounded like.

• 8:35Connor Wood?

  Saka, Saka.

• 8:37Brooke Averick?

  Saka, Saka, hand, foot and mouth. Secaucus. I got off in Secaucus, which was only 30 minutes, actually. But.

• 8:44Connor Wood?

  It didn't feel, it said 51. I go, oh, we're not seeing her today. And then I go, what will we do? Because I think I exhausted my solo podcast, like, ability in the, in the past hour.

• 8:58Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 8:59Connor Wood?

  And I said, what will we do?

• 9:01Brooke Averick?

  What will we do?

• 9:04Connor Wood?

  I didn't know.

• 9:05Brooke Averick?

  So when you called me.

• 9:06Connor Wood?

  Yeah. Maybe hotel room episode?

• 9:10Brooke Averick?

  Oh, yeah, that could have been hot.

• 9:12Connor Wood?

  Yeah, pretty fucking hot, but.

• 9:15Brooke Averick?

  So hot.

• 9:16Connor Wood?

  Here we are, you made it. It is.

• 9:18Brooke Averick?

  And, yeah. When, so when you called me, I could not find the street level of the train station.

• 9:25Connor Wood?

  I heard you, you yelled, where, how do I get to the street? And someone goes, the door.

• 9:31Brooke Averick?

  There was no doors. Just bugs.

• 9:34Connor Wood?

  The back, yeah.

• 9:35Brooke Averick?

  There were no doors. I had, I mean, I'm sure if I, I was just in such a state. There was just no directions to like, get out. So I took an elevator, like, I don't know. I can't believe I'm here. It's, it's a shock to many. But most of all, me. So thanks for having me. And I think that's a wrap on the journey.

• 9:59Connor Wood?

  It's just crazy that you were just like an hour away the whole time. And it took you five and a half.

• 10:03Brooke Averick?

  The whole time. I can't explain to you the way that, that, I think that Transit train must have been like a special situation. I also don't understand because it was an empty train. And so everybody from that Amtrak had gone onto this empty New Jersey Transit train. So why are we stopping at these places that no one on the Amtrak was getting off at?

• 10:27Connor Wood?

  I don't know.

• 10:27Brooke Averick?

  Do you know what I mean?

• 10:28Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I don't know.

• 10:29Brooke Averick?

  None of these were supposed to be stops on the Amtrak and it's just us. So let's, let's call, let's not stop at them.

• 10:36Connor Wood?

  I like how when you're on the bus, like, if there's no one at the stop, they roll right past the stop, you know?

• 10:40Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 10:41Connor Wood?

  And to the bus driver, it's like, I'm fucking crushing this today.

• 10:44Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 10:45Connor Wood?

  Because they're at all the stops early.

• 10:46Brooke Averick?

  That's a win?

• 10:47Connor Wood?

  Well, no, you actually can't be at the stops early as a.

• 10:50Brooke Averick?

  But do you think it's a win when there's no one there?

• 10:54Connor Wood?

  And they roll past it. I'm like, I'm getting to my place faster. Yeah.

• 10:57Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Okay. But then you can't leave earlier. So what's the point of getting there faster?

• 11:01Connor Wood?

  It's a good question. I don't know. Everything feels good to me because I'm like, that's where my brain is. Little stuff feels good.

• 11:08Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 11:09Connor Wood?

  I think, you know what I was thinking about? Not to move out and pass transit. I know that we could talk transit all day.

• 11:14Brooke Averick?

  No, I'm more than happy to move past transit of it all.

• 11:18Connor Wood?

  I have been sleeping with my head elevated more recently.

• 11:22Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 11:23Connor Wood?

  I feel like it's like changing the way that my, you know, because I don't use pillows.

• 11:27Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 11:28Connor Wood?

  And I've brought pillows back into the bedroom.

• 11:33Brooke Averick?

  Feel good?

• 11:34Connor Wood?

  Loving it. It's not better. It's different, though.

• 11:37Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 11:37Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 11:38Brooke Averick?

  You know, I sleep on a pillow, but like a very thin tissue pillow.

• 11:41Connor Wood?

  Yeah. Um, I found a really good pillow. I was, I'd been shopping around. We're so boring. It's crazy today. So I get on the bus. Yeah, well, I got a pillow.

• 11:52Brooke Averick?

  I'm like, I want to give you more than I have. I want to go like Giving Tree mode today. I want you to cut off all of my branches and sit on my stump.

• 12:05Connor Wood?

  I wouldn't do that.

• 12:07Brooke Averick?

  You know, we're like, we're not supposed to read Giving Tree anymore. Like, because it's like, it's a story about an abusive relationship.

• 12:15Connor Wood?

  The Giving Tree?

• 12:16Brooke Averick?

  Yes. Like, I learned at school that in children's lit, like, that book is off the table now.

• 12:22Connor Wood?

  If someone were to tell me as a child, the Giving Tree is an abusive, a book about an abusive relationship, do you know that that would have affected my psyche much more than reading a book about a tree and a little boy?

• 12:38Brooke Averick?

  Well, no one's telling them it's about an abusive relationship. No one's reading it.

• 12:41Connor Wood?

  If I were to hear inklings of that, whisperings of that, rolling around, like, I would not be able to not think of trees and cabinets and carpet as people. Like, I would have personified everything.

• 12:55Brooke Averick?

  Just, you know the story?

• 12:57Connor Wood?

  He takes and he takes and he takes.

• 12:59Brooke Averick?

  Takes and takes until what's left.

• 13:00Connor Wood?

  Well, it's also, I think-

• 13:01Brooke Averick?

  What's left?

• 13:02Connor Wood?

  A dirty old, rusty old, dirty stump. Yeah.

• 13:08Connor Wood?

  Is the tree still alive when the stump is there or has he passed?

• 13:12Brooke Averick?

  She.

• 13:12Connor Wood?

  She's a girl?

• 13:14Brooke Averick?

  Yes.

• 13:16Connor Wood?

  Wow, I just never thought of trees as girls.

• 13:18Brooke Averick?

  Actually, I don't know if they were, if she was ever, if it was ever specified, but like, to me, that was, she, like, no doubt.

• 13:24Connor Wood?

  To me, he was a boy.

• 13:25Brooke Averick?

  I wonder if it was actually gendered.

• 13:28Connor Wood?

  Or maybe-

• 13:29Brooke Averick?

  I do think it was a woman.

• 13:31Connor Wood?

  Let me Google, was the Giving Tree a boy?

• 13:34Brooke Averick?

  Tree gendered?

• 13:35Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 13:36Brooke Averick?

  It's a good question.

• 13:38Connor Wood?

  Was the tree in Giving Tree real? Is the top search?

• 13:48Connor Wood?

  A boy?

• 13:53Connor Wood?

  Yes, the main character in Shel Silverstein's The Giving Tree-

• 13:56Brooke Averick?

  Is a little-

• 13:56Connor Wood?

  Are a female apple tree and a human male.

• 13:59Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 14:00Connor Wood?

  It's a girl?

• 14:01Brooke Averick?

  It was, there was, there were romantic undertones.

• 14:05Connor Wood?

  He was trying to lay with the tree?

• 14:07Brooke Averick?

  There were, it was just an abusive relationship.

• 14:12Brooke Averick?

  Through and through.

• 14:12Connor Wood?

  Between a man and a woman?

• 14:14Brooke Averick?

  Through and through, between a man and a woman. The man takes and takes and takes until the woman has nothing-

• 14:20Connor Wood?

  Left to give.

• 14:20Brooke Averick?

  But a stump left. He took everything she had.

• 14:24Connor Wood?

  She was but a stump.

• 14:25Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. So anyway, we don't read that book anymore.

• 14:27Connor Wood?

  Wow, that's crazy. You know how I thought it was?

• 14:29Brooke Averick?

  What?

• 14:30Connor Wood?

  I thought it was about how we, like, are blowing through our natural resources and we're killing planet Earth. That's what I thought.

• 14:38Brooke Averick?

  I mean, I'm sure it could be taken that way, too.

• 14:41Connor Wood?

  We're in an abusive relationship with Mother Gaia?

• 14:45Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, but I mean, I think the lesson when we were kids was just like, you can't keep taking everything because look what happens.

• 14:52Connor Wood?

  Was that Paved Paradise put up a parking lot vibes?

• 14:55Brooke Averick?

  I don't know. I think it was definitely-

• 14:56Connor Wood?

  You don't know what you got till it's gone type shit.

• 14:58Brooke Averick?

  There's so much there. There's so much there, but unfortunately, it's, it might be too much.

• 15:05Connor Wood?

  For what?

• 15:06Brooke Averick?

  For the children.

• 15:10Connor Wood?

  I remember it being very sad.

• 15:14Connor Wood?

  Period. But I don't remember why I thought it was sad.

• 15:17Brooke Averick?

  I feel like it teaches an important lesson that like, maybe children are equipped to understand, because I feel like I understood it.

• 15:25Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I see, like, that is me finding out it was about an abusive relationship at my age now, but I certainly didn't know that back then. I literally was like bummed out because the tree died.

• 15:34Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 15:35Connor Wood?

  But I was always bummed out about trees.

• 15:37Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 15:37Connor Wood?

  We had a tree house right next to my house and it was in like a lot. And I was like, I am, this is how bad I was. I wanted to protect the forest, thinking I lived in the Amazon. And I was like, one of the people that had been raised in the-

• 15:53Brooke Averick?

  What's the tree situation in Texas?

• 15:55Connor Wood?

  It's just all woods.

• 15:57Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 15:59Connor Wood?

  Did you call, did you call the trees the woods?

• 16:03Brooke Averick?

  It depends if they were in the woods or not.

• 16:05Connor Wood?

  Was it the woods or was it a forest?

• 16:06Brooke Averick?

  Oh, the woods.

• 16:07Connor Wood?

  The woods, me too.

• 16:09Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 16:10Connor Wood?

  Many people call it the forest. I don't know if that's regional.

• 16:13Brooke Averick?

  The forest is different. The forest is like, that's what I think about. To me, there's actually not a huge difference between a forest and a jungle.

• 16:21Connor Wood?

  Hmm, no. To me.

• 16:26Connor Wood?

  Maybe me too. Hmm. We're not so different, you and I.

• 16:30Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 16:31Connor Wood?

  So it was the woods.

• 16:32Brooke Averick?

  When you, I feel like when you see a forest, you would know. And I don't know if I've seen it from where I'm from.

• 16:40Connor Wood?

  If I'm seeing the type of fauna that Texas is, I'm saying the woods. It's like pine needles and shit. But it's not like, you know what? Forests would be Pacific Northwest. That's the forest.

• 16:53Brooke Averick?

  Totally. That's the forest.

• 16:54Connor Wood?

  Yeah, maybe it's the wet.

• 16:55Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 16:55Connor Wood?

  Maybe it's because it's wet.

• 16:56Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. It was just like, it's the, um, the density.

• 17:00Connor Wood?

  The density. You're right, it is.

• 17:01Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 17:02Connor Wood?

  So I don't remember, so, when people would begin to build houses and cut down trees, I would go over to their construction sites late at night and I would take out all their little flags that marked pipes, I think it was, which is very dangerous to do.

• 17:15Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 17:15Connor Wood?

  And I would like mess up their like, because they'd first guard off the section of trees that they were cutting down and I'd go take all the stakes out at night. Like, that was going to set them back like years and years and years. But I didn't want them to cut down the trees that I'd come to know. And then finally, right next to my house, I had this tree house and to me,

• 17:38Connor Wood?

  you know, when you like have a hill from your childhood that was like, this is a huge hill and like, it was hard.

• 17:44Brooke Averick?

  I know the hill.

• 17:45Connor Wood?

  Like, you walk up it and it's like, I'm dreading getting to that hill because I have to walk up that hill. And then you get older and you're like, that's like barely even an incline. Yeah, but I remember there were like hills everywhere that I remember being like, let's go to the top. And like, me, Dylan, Mikey and Brandon are gonna bomb this hill.

• 18:08Brooke Averick?

  Are those, are those actually their names? That's so, that makes a lot of sense. Yeah.

• 18:13Connor Wood?

  All white people.

• 18:14Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 18:14Connor Wood?

  Dylan, Brandon, Mikey.

• 18:16Brooke Averick?

  And Connor.

• 18:16Connor Wood?

  Um, and Connor. Yeah.

• 18:17Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Hi, Texas.

• 18:18Connor Wood?

  Hi, how are you?

• 18:19Brooke Averick?

  Good.

• 18:20Connor Wood?

  Eh, well, and we bombed the hill. There are things like that, that we were like, we would do little things like that. And I think that that was the thing that we did for like, the full weekend, was we bombed the hill until dinner.

• 18:34Brooke Averick?

  What do you mean you bombed the hill?

• 18:36Connor Wood?

  That's when you like, you get on a skateboard and you like, beeline it in a straight line down a hill. You bend your knees and you bomb the hill.

• 18:46Brooke Averick?

  Really scary.

• 18:47Connor Wood?

  Again, it was like barely an incline, but like when you're eight, that was like, we did that. And then there was one time,

• 18:55Connor Wood?

  can you remember what we were, I think we were throwing ice cubes at each other. Someone, someone's parents had like-

• 19:01Brooke Averick?

  Sounds fun.

• 19:01Connor Wood?

  A surplus. We were so poor. Someone's parents had like a surplus of ice from something that they had. And we were throwing at each other and this car drove by and one of the ice cubes, like, we didn't see the car coming, like, went through their windshield and like shattered their windshield. And for like one full week, we were all in hiding. I didn't know who done it.

• 19:24Connor Wood?

  Like it is-

• 19:25Brooke Averick?

  Wait, you didn't get caught?

• 19:27Connor Wood?

  No.

• 19:27Brooke Averick?

  How?

• 19:28Connor Wood?

  I don't know. It wasn't me, it was Dylan.

• 19:31Brooke Averick?

  Did they just keep driving?

• 19:32Connor Wood?

  No, they got out and screamed.

• 19:34Brooke Averick?

  Oh, and you ran?

• 19:35Connor Wood?

  You know, it's funny, it's like, I personified that guy that was screaming at us as like an evil, evil, grumpy old man. We shattered his windshield.

• 19:41Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Wait, did you guys just run?

• 19:44Connor Wood?

  We ran.

• 19:45Brooke Averick?

  That's bad.

• 19:46Connor Wood?

  I don't know who, I don't know what ended up happening with that, but surely something.

• 19:49Brooke Averick?

  That's bad.

• 19:53Connor Wood?

  I'm remembering all of these things now. Remember how I tell you I don't have any memory of like the past?

• 19:57Brooke Averick?

  That's nice. I think it was all triggered by the Giving Tree. You should actually like go to the library and like, go read the books that you've read as a kid. It's the most beautiful experience.

• 20:11Connor Wood?

  I mean, I have a stack-

• 20:12Brooke Averick?

  Looking at them through your adult eyes.

• 20:16Connor Wood?

  It's an essence.

• 20:17Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 20:20Brooke Averick?

  I can tell you about my weekend if you want.

• 20:22Connor Wood?

  Yeah, wait, really quick. I'm having a thought.

• 20:24Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 20:25Connor Wood?

  What is that book that I think got banned? It was almost banned during the time that we were reading it, because someone's parents wrote in. When they would like, they lived in a perfect land and then there was like a drop off and they killed babies. I think they threw the babies into the hole.

• 20:44Brooke Averick?

  I don't know that book.

• 20:50Connor Wood?

  I remember, I remember the first and last name of the, of the kid whose mom called in and got this book. And I was like, this is such a good book. I need to know what happens. But I think they had to like, like dump babies into like their, maybe, I don't know.

• 21:04Brooke Averick?

  Was it like?

• 21:06Brooke Averick?

  Like back in Egypt when they had to kill the first?

• 21:08Connor Wood?

  No, no, no. It was a very futuristic style book. It was like a 1984 style.

• 21:12Brooke Averick?

  Oh, no. I don't know that at all.

• 21:15Connor Wood?

  You know what? Lord of the Flies show came out on Netflix and it's like very well produced, but like, it's kind of hard to watch.

• 21:21Brooke Averick?

  I didn't know that and I've still never read Lord of the Flies.

• 21:24Connor Wood?

  It's my favorite.

• 21:26Connor Wood?

  Anyways, how was your weekend?

• 21:28Brooke Averick?

  Dude, it was good. Have you ever been to Block Island?

• 21:31Connor Wood?

  No, you're sending me pictures. It's amazing to look at.

• 21:33Brooke Averick?

  It's crazy. It's so beautiful. I'm really confused because it is just like, it's right there with Nantucket. And what's the other one? Martha's Vineyard? And it's so beautiful, just as beautiful as those two. I'm not sure why, like not everyone is going there as well. Um, had a great time.

• 21:52Connor Wood?

  Is it an actual island?

• 21:54Brooke Averick?

  Oh, it's an actual island. I had to take a ferry there.

• 21:56Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 21:57Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Um, very beautiful.

• 21:59Connor Wood?

  You've done planes, trains, automobiles this week.

• 22:02Brooke Averick?

  I haven't stopped moving. I have a wedding this weekend. I don't know if I'm ever gonna get back to LA. This is the longest I've ever been away from my cat.

• 22:10Connor Wood?

  Stay in the East Coast.

• 22:12Brooke Averick?

  No, like it has, I'm being, I'm being tested. I'm being tested, but it's all for good reasons. Um, no, I'm like trying with the positive attitude thing and like it keeps slamming me back in the face, but I'm still trying.

• 22:26Connor Wood?

  Oh my God, you haven't complained? I just realized once.

• 22:30Brooke Averick?

  I'm really trying. I'm really trying this new thing.

• 22:33Connor Wood?

  Wow.

• 22:34Brooke Averick?

  And you know, I'm actually writing in my journal, like through the POV, like, hi, it's me, the luckiest girl in the world and I'm luckiest girl in the world. And I'm framing every single thing that I want to complain about as an opportunity that I'm really excited about. So that's what I did today. I was like, I'm so excited. It's so great that Connor's only like three hours door to door. So I can go to New York. I love New York and you just kind of really have to rethink and rewire.

• 23:00Connor Wood?

  That is kind of great.

• 23:01Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 23:01Connor Wood?

  It is an hour and a half to get to where you are.

• 23:04Brooke Averick?

  It is. It's just the way.

• 23:06Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 23:07Brooke Averick?

  The drive, my mom and pop up live kind of far from the train station.

• 23:10Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 23:11Brooke Averick?

  It's the only issue. And this is far from the train station. Anyway.

• 23:13Connor Wood?

  Like the, I think from now on,

• 23:17Connor Wood?

  car it. I think.

• 23:18Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I'm not, I'm not driving here.

• 23:21Connor Wood?

  You would not drive?

• 23:21Brooke Averick?

  I've never driven here. I never, no. I'm not, I would never, ever in one million years drive in New York City.

• 23:26Connor Wood?

  It was so easy.

• 23:28Brooke Averick?

  Oh.

• 23:29Connor Wood?

  It was easier than LA, 100%.

• 23:31Brooke Averick?

  That's.

• 23:32Connor Wood?

  I promise you.

• 23:33Brooke Averick?

  I, there's just nothing.

• 23:34Connor Wood?

  I've driven in both.

• 23:34Brooke Averick?

  Nothing could ever get me to drive here.

• 23:37Connor Wood?

  It was.

• 23:37Brooke Averick?

  Park, parking alone.

• 23:38Connor Wood?

  Well, you wouldn't, you would go into a parking.

• 23:40Brooke Averick?

  Parking structure alone.

• 23:42Connor Wood?

  Parking, Brooke, I've left my car in a parking lot in LA, in a parking garage in LA because I couldn't do it. I had, I had a full blown breakdown.

• 23:50Brooke Averick?

  I know, I remember.

• 23:51Connor Wood?

  I couldn't find it. I walked every floor around and around and around. You want to go insane?

• 23:56Brooke Averick?

  Not right now.

• 23:57Connor Wood?

  Go to Beverly Grove and park your car there and then finally ask.

• 24:01Brooke Averick?

  Talking about the Beverly Center?

• 24:02Connor Wood?

  Beverly Center and then ask, can they tow a car out of here? And they go, no, I go, then where would my car be? And they go, where did you park? I go, please be a real person for a second. I'm on hour three of trying to find my car. They drove me around, drove me around, drove me around. I, I street parked that day.

• 24:20Connor Wood?

  Anyways.

• 24:21Brooke Averick?

  Anyway.

• 24:21Connor Wood?

  This is not bad to come here.

• 24:24Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. So Block Island was just really, really beautiful. Not only are there like really beautiful beaches, but the cliffs.

• 24:31Connor Wood?

  The cliffs.

• 24:32Brooke Averick?

  Wouldn't believe the cliffs. I forgot your rocks.

• 24:35Connor Wood?

  Damn.

• 24:35Brooke Averick?

  I got you some rocks. Actually, it's probably illegal to take them, right?

• 24:39Connor Wood?

  I take only pictures, leave only footprints.

• 24:41Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, that's what I did. Um, I forgot your rocks at the island. And I had a new bit that I've completely, I've worn it out completely, but it really, it kept me really happy for a few days.

• 24:53Connor Wood?

  What?

• 24:54Brooke Averick?

  Um, okay, this is, if you're squeamish about throw up, skip for like the next five minutes or something.

• 25:02Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 25:02Brooke Averick?

  But you know, I'm not a drinker.

• 25:05Connor Wood?

  Well, I fully was like, if you're squeamish about throw up, skip around the room.

• 25:09Brooke Averick?

  No, no, no, no. Skip the, keep skipping this podcast episode.

• 25:12Connor Wood?

  Skip to my loo.

• 25:13Brooke Averick?

  They will, there will, there will be chapters in the YouTube version and in audio, just I guess, just kind of eyeball it. Um, but I'm not a big drinker. Um, but this was all girls. I didn't know. So sometimes it's in social situations where that are really challenging. I just, I'm like, you just like have to tug for five, you know?

• 25:33Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 25:34Brooke Averick?

  Um, and so I was drinking a bit, but I did not get drunk. Like I truly just got a little bit tipsy, but I mixed.

• 25:43Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 25:43Brooke Averick?

  The drinks that I mixed were like, not drinks that you mix. It was an espresso martini.

• 25:49Connor Wood?

  I'm not gonna like this.

• 25:50Brooke Averick?

  A dirty, extra dirty, filthy martini.

• 25:53Connor Wood?

  Nope, already lost me.

• 25:54Brooke Averick?

  And then a frozen pink lemonade. Flushy.

• 25:57Connor Wood?

  That's your fault.

• 25:59Brooke Averick?

  So Gabby, my sister went home with me. We were staying in the same room. And so I had disrobed and was laying with a very cold washcloth.

• 26:06Connor Wood?

  Sure.

• 26:07Brooke Averick?

  On my head and Gabby was like, do you need a trash can or anything? And I was like, no, I'm not gonna throw up. And I just laid there for a very long time in the dark, just telling myself like, you're not sick. You're not sick. But sometimes when I do that, the problem is I am sick. And me laying in bed, it means I'm, I'm not gonna make it anywhere in time. So I ended up kind of just like, at the, at the last possible second that I could, I sat up and I threw up on the floor, but I can't throw, this is really gross. So like, please skip this if you, if Gabe, if you need to plug your ears, you can. Um, I like can't throw up without like pulling trig.

• 26:51Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 26:51Brooke Averick?

  So I pulled trig onto the floor and Gabby just goes, what?

• 26:58Brooke Averick?

  Cause I guess like from her POV, like, why would you pull trig onto the floor?

• 27:02Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 27:02Brooke Averick?

  You know?

• 27:03Connor Wood?

  I'm, yeah.

• 27:04Brooke Averick?

  But like I, I was throwing up, but like it just had, like I couldn't have walked to the bathroom or a trash can in the state that I was in. Like it was, it was active, you know? And so then Gabby was so kind, brought me trash can, got the rest out, but, and then she, she was such a trooper. But, cause she's usually not, doesn't fuck with that kind of stuff. But she said that the situation was so ridiculous that like it actually helped her. Um, and so the, this is where the bit comes in, which was the next morning, I was just, I started apologizing to everyone on her behalf.

• 27:38Connor Wood?

  Sorry, my sister's.

• 27:40Brooke Averick?

  It just kept saying like, you guys, like I'm like Gabby, poor, like Gabby is not feeling well. I feel so, so bad for her. It's so hard to see someone sick, you know? And the poor girl, um, she's just not feeling well. And, and then I started texting everyone I know that, um, Gabby, Gabby was so sick last night, but she's starting to feel better. And, and we just thankful for that Gabby's getting better and everything like that. So whenever someone asked how the trip was, I said, it was good. Gabby was sick, but you know, we, we pulled through and.

• 28:13Connor Wood?

  Did you have any more drinks?

• 28:14Brooke Averick?

  It's not really that funny, like saying it.

• 28:16Connor Wood?

  No, I thought it was funny. I actually like didn't get it.

• 28:19Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 28:19Connor Wood?

  So I texted you, I was like, who got sick? I don't get.

• 28:21Brooke Averick?

  Right. Cause I posted on my close friends, me texting my family, like Gabby got sick last night, like everything's okay now, but Gabby had gotten really sick. And then Gabby's kind of responding, telling her side and no one knew who to believe. So it was frustrating for Gabby.

• 28:36Connor Wood?

  Sure.

• 28:36Brooke Averick?

  Um, but I was having a lot of fun.

• 28:39Connor Wood?

  Pulled trig onto the ground, huh?

• 28:40Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I, I had to, like, it was, it was, because it was, it was happening, but, and I couldn't move. If you, when I am nauseous, like, I hope no like demon ever comes to me and says, would you, would you like to die right now? Cause I would say yes. Like I would, I can't do it.

• 29:03Brooke Averick?

  I can't do it.

• 29:03Connor Wood?

  I don't like that.

• 29:04Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. No, I would.

• 29:05Connor Wood?

  Would you, so you couldn't?

• 29:06Brooke Averick?

  If they caught me in a nauseous moment, I would give up my life. I would give up my life. No, there's a difference between me just like my everyday queasiness versus I'm throwing up.

• 29:15Connor Wood?

  There's an everyday queef and then there's like a, like nauseous queef.

• 29:18Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, exactly. Exactly.

• 29:20Connor Wood?

  Um, I looked at Block, I looked at Block Island when you went.

• 29:25Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 29:26Connor Wood?

  Do you know what their saying is?

• 29:28Brooke Averick?

  No.

• 29:30Connor Wood?

  Um, oh my gosh.

• 29:33Brooke Averick?

  It's better over here?

• 29:34Connor Wood?

  No, it's, turn the lights off now. Now I take you by the hand. Take another drink. Drink it if you can. Can we spend a little time?

• 29:45Connor Wood?

  Uh, yeah.

• 29:46Brooke Averick?

  Wait, that's a song?

• 29:47Connor Wood?

  No. I'm glad you came. I'm glad you came.

• 29:50Brooke Averick?

  Okay. But by, um, don't tell me. Something great? Is that the name of them?

• 29:59Connor Wood?

  Forgetting their name now.

• 30:00Brooke Averick?

  Uh, um, wait, sorry. Oh, I'm glad you came. The sun goes.

• 30:08Connor Wood?

  What is it?

• 30:09Brooke Averick?

  The one, it's the wanted.

• 30:11Connor Wood?

  Yeah. Classic. I think if everyone wants to change their vibe for the, the second, the latter half of summer, you need to listen to Stereo Love.

• 30:20Brooke Averick?

  What's that one?

• 30:25Brooke Averick?

  I don't know that song.

• 30:35Connor Wood?

  We're gonna get copyrighted because of that, which sucks because.

• 30:38Brooke Averick?

  I don't think we are. I don't think we are.

• 30:40Connor Wood?

  No, you don't think I was even close?

• 30:41Brooke Averick?

  I don't think we are.

• 30:47Brooke Averick?

  Tonight we can't forget on the floor. I don't know it.

• 30:52Connor Wood?

  Okay, Stereo Love. Here, I'm gonna, I, listen to Stereo Love and, uh, I'm glad you came. And that will change the latter half of your summer. I promise.

• 31:02Brooke Averick?

  You know what those two are reminding me of also?

• 31:04Connor Wood?

  What?

• 31:05Brooke Averick?

  If I got locked away and we lost it all today.

• 31:10Connor Wood?

  No, it's.

• 31:10Brooke Averick?

  Tell me. Yes, it is.

• 31:11Connor Wood?

  No, it's not even the same.

• 31:12Brooke Averick?

  It's the same. Exactly. It's the same.

• 31:14Connor Wood?

  No.

• 31:14Brooke Averick?

  Yes, it is.

• 31:15Connor Wood?

  This is Stereo Love. This is like.

• 31:17Brooke Averick?

  Don't, if you play it.

• 31:18Connor Wood?

  I'm gonna just play it just for you, not into the mic. Come on, I just liked it. Hang on, you guys. Nobody move, please.

• 31:26Brooke Averick?

  Would you still love me? That's a great song. Don't you think?

• 31:33Brooke Averick?

  I don't know this song.

• 31:39Connor Wood?

  What?

• 31:40Brooke Averick?

  I don't know this song. Oh, yeah, I know this song.

• 31:43Connor Wood?

  Yeah, you do.

• 31:44Brooke Averick?

  You didn't, you didn't do that part.

• 31:48Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, uh-uh, I wouldn't have gotten that from that.

• 31:54Brooke Averick?

  Better.

• 31:56Brooke Averick?

  Better.

• 32:06Brooke Averick?

  Something else that happened in Block Island is we were getting drinks by the dock.

• 32:12Connor Wood?

  Random for you.

• 32:12Brooke Averick?

  Which you would have loved. I participated in almost every activity.

• 32:18Connor Wood?

  What did you skip?

• 32:20Brooke Averick?

  I skipped farmer's market the morning after I pulled trick on the floor.

• 32:23Connor Wood?

  Who are you?

• 32:24Brooke Averick?

  After I pulled trick on the floor. Cause it, I was, Gabby was sick.

• 32:27Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 32:28Brooke Averick?

  I had to stay and take care of Gabby.

• 32:29Connor Wood?

  Gabby.

• 32:32Brooke Averick?

  So, drinks on the dock and there was an older man who offered to buy us all a round of drinks.

• 32:38Connor Wood?

  Why would he not?

• 32:39Brooke Averick?

  Why would he not? And he just was talking about how he was so disgusted with his friends who he had left at the other bar. And his name is Michael, by the way. He gave us his full first and last name.

• 32:50Connor Wood?

  Yeah, Michelle.

• 32:50Brooke Averick?

  I'm not gonna use his last name, but I will use his first, Michael. He was so disgusted by his friends that he left at the other bar because they were flirting with 20-year-olds, 30-year-olds. What do 50-year-old guys want with girls that young? Michael couldn't wrap his head around it.

• 33:05Connor Wood?

  Yeah, it's hard to imagine.

• 33:06Brooke Averick?

  Michael couldn't imagine it as he's buying us all shots. But I really and truly believed Mike, like, I believed in Michael. And I was like, Michael is like the greatest guy. He bought us like 13 rounds of drinks.

• 33:20Connor Wood?

  Did you feel like you knew Michael's heart?

• 33:22Brooke Averick?

  I felt like I knew Michael's heart to its core. And like, no matter, like, some girls were like, I'm not fucking with Michael. I was like, that's a shame because once you get to know Michael, like, you will really love him. I thought he was the greatest guy. And then he kept going on and on about how he just like, doesn't understand like, what, what a 50-year-old would want with a younger woman. Like, if he ever gets married, like, they would be in their 40s, his wife. And I said, well, what about 50? And he wasn't comfortable with the physical change of, I think he was talking about menopause, but.

• 33:58Connor Wood?

  This is, this is when the veil starts to lift.

• 34:00Brooke Averick?

  I kind of brushed past that with Michael, cause I was just like, maybe he means something else.

• 34:05Connor Wood?

  Well, even if he meant something else.

• 34:08Brooke Averick?

  I had my Michael blinders on.

• 34:10Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 34:10Brooke Averick?

  Cause he's being, he was just being so friendly and nice. He was so drunk.

• 34:14Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 34:14Brooke Averick?

  And I was like, that's just like, it's like, almost a little bit like, it's pulling at my heartstrings that like, this older guy's alone.

• 34:20Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 34:20Brooke Averick?

  And it's making me kind of sad and I want, my heart is going out to him, my heart is going out to him. And then someone was like, look at his ring finger. And he kept saying like, if I ever get married, like, it's gonna be like a woman, appropriate age.

• 34:35Connor Wood?

  A complete hypothetical?

• 34:36Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, he had a really severe tan line on his ring finger. And at this point.

• 34:41Connor Wood?

  Good context clues.

• 34:42Brooke Averick?

  It's just me and one other girl who are still riding for Michael saying it was probably an aura ring.

• 34:49Brooke Averick?

  Like, I was like, I would have like fallen on the sword for Michael. Look him up on the internet, LinkedIn, Lives In, blah blah, with his wife.

• 35:03Connor Wood?

  Sure.

• 35:03Brooke Averick?

  Married on Facebook as well. I was, I literally felt like the rug had been pulled out from under me. I was, even after everything.

• 35:11Connor Wood?

  The wool was over your eyes.

• 35:13Brooke Averick?

  After he didn't, didn't wanna marry a woman after the physical change.

• 35:17Connor Wood?

  Sure.

• 35:17Brooke Averick?

  After all of this, um, I was still like genuinely shocked and so, so beyond betrayed that I like, I'm still like thinking about it. Because I knew this kind of stuff, this kind of stuff happens all the time, of course. Sleazy old men just like

• 35:34Brooke Averick?

  trying to do their thing.

• 35:35Connor Wood?

  Get some, some young.

• 35:37Brooke Averick?

  And like, I just felt so betrayed, especially because the way he did it, just by being like, I, I'm such a, I would never, what would anyone want with a 30-year-old or 20-year-old woman? When seemingly that was what he was trying to do.

• 35:51Connor Wood?

  Sure.

• 35:52Brooke Averick?

  I, I felt violated. I feel so, I feel so upset about Michael. Because my heart, I had given him my heart. I'd given him my heart. No, this was after he left. We had found his LinkedIn.

• 36:06Connor Wood?

  Why didn't you do it right then?

• 36:09Brooke Averick?

  Cause I really, truly, honestly to God, believed that the tan line was from an aura ring.

• 36:17Brooke Averick?

  On God.

• 36:17Connor Wood?

  Ring finger.

• 36:18Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. On his ring finger.

• 36:20Connor Wood?

  Hell no.

• 36:21Brooke Averick?

  Uh, yeah. So now I'm scared that like, I could be really easily duped in a relationship.

• 36:25Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 36:26Brooke Averick?

  Once you just, I, I, that, I'm just, I've been really upset about that.

• 36:30Connor Wood?

  Well, your new personality, this like positivity thing is not gonna help, so.

• 36:34Brooke Averick?

  I know. So, but why give us your first and last name? That's part of the reason why I was like, I trust him.

• 36:43Connor Wood?

  Maybe she just died that morning.

• 36:44Brooke Averick?

  Well, I'm, can I be honest? There is a 5% part of me that thinks he is recently divorced.

• 36:53Brooke Averick?

  The only issue is that he kept saying, if I ever get married, which really implies that he hasn't been married before. But I think there's a 5% chance that he meant, if I get married again, because I just got divorced a few days ago.

• 37:06Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 37:07Brooke Averick?

  Separated a few days ago. Honestly, there's a really, it's more than 5% of me that believes that.

• 37:14Connor Wood?

  I like you, I like that you think that way. I do think that, um.

• 37:20Brooke Averick?

  And he really did, like, he bought us like three rounds and then he left.

• 37:24Connor Wood?

  Just like the thing is like, oh, wow.

• 37:26Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 37:26Connor Wood?

  Well, the UV is just like so high right now. Like, I have a tan line on my ring.

• 37:30Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 37:30Connor Wood?

  For my ring.

• 37:31Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. So you think Michael could have been innocent?

• 37:34Connor Wood?

  What?

• 37:34Brooke Averick?

  You think Michael could have been innocent?

• 37:36Connor Wood?

  No, I'm saying the UV is very high right now. He had it on like, like it went up, you know, poop is, animal poop is still hot. Like, oh, that it's, it's around.

• 37:47Brooke Averick?

  It was animal poop?

• 37:48Connor Wood?

  Like, it's around. Not to bring it, like, we almost got through that poop.

• 37:51Brooke Averick?

  I, I talked a lot about puke, so.

• 37:55Connor Wood?

  Anyways, may he, I hope he's, I hope he finds.

• 37:58Brooke Averick?

  I, that's what I said to everyone. I said, I genuinely hope he finds peace.

• 38:02Connor Wood?

  Young peace.

• 38:04Brooke Averick?

  I hope he finds peace. You know what else should have given it away for me?

• 38:07Connor Wood?

  Young peace.

• 38:08Brooke Averick?

  We were talking about age gap relationships because my, uh, my new sister-in-law is older than Noah by like a decent amount. And he kept, he went around the table and was like, are you the same age as your husband? Are you the same age as your husband? Are you the same age as your husband? Trying to figure out who was maybe married or not. But even then, I was like, just inquisitive.

• 38:34Connor Wood?

  That's, that's my Michael.

• 38:37Brooke Averick?

  That's, that, like, that's my Michael.

• 38:39Connor Wood?

  I, um, you challenged me on Monday to finish your book.

• 38:44Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I did.

• 38:45Connor Wood?

  I almost did.

• 38:45Brooke Averick?

  How far are you?

• 38:46Connor Wood?

  I hit the sham, shamal on twist. Shalom on twist. Like, moments before I had to close the book and go to the studio. Yeah, I almost sent you the exact page. Wow, you got me.

• 38:59Brooke Averick?

  I got your ass?

• 39:00Connor Wood?

  You got my ass. How did like, no one tell me that's what happened?

• 39:03Brooke Averick?

  I can't believe you didn't know.

• 39:06Connor Wood?

  I wanted to throw up onto the, onto the book.

• 39:08Brooke Averick?

  It's, it's, it's a big twist.

• 39:10Connor Wood?

  Oh my God, the movie is gonna be so good.

• 39:12Brooke Averick?

  I, I think that will be fun.

• 39:14Connor Wood?

  Whoa, whoa. That's like, like, like dizzy, like, feeling your way to leave it, like, wow, that was good. You got me. I need to.

• 39:27Brooke Averick?

  You're so far, I'm so proud of you.

• 39:28Connor Wood?

  Well, I, since Tuesday, I read 200 pages.

• 39:32Brooke Averick?

  Wow. Were you having fun? Like, what's?

• 39:34Connor Wood?

  I am having fun.

• 39:35Brooke Averick?

  You're having a good experience?

• 39:36Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I'm having a great time. I'm gonna finish it today.

• 39:38Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 39:39Connor Wood?

  I almost, I could have done it.

• 39:40Brooke Averick?

  Uh, well, now the rest is kind of just like smooth, like, after that, it's all like, that's the romance book that's about to happen.

• 39:46Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 39:47Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 39:48Connor Wood?

  Well, that was fun. That was funny. I cannot, I was just like, not, obviously like, not expecting that. Wow, you got me.

• 39:56Brooke Averick?

  Crazy. I thought you were gonna get my ass.

• 39:59Connor Wood?

  No. They didn't catch it.

• 40:01Brooke Averick?

  Wow.

• 40:02Connor Wood?

  That was really fun.

• 40:03Brooke Averick?

  Thanks. I'm just so shocked it didn't get spoiled for you.

• 40:06Connor Wood?

  No, I really thought I was gonna finish it last night. Um, and I was, so I was gonna go to, wait. I was gonna go to the Amy Poehler live taping. She had her thing last night. Guess what time it started? You would have loved this shit. You should have come in last night and we should have gone together. It started at 6.

• 40:24Brooke Averick?

  Perfect.

• 40:25Connor Wood?

  And I look at my phone thinking, I'm gonna read until I leave.

• 40:29Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 40:30Connor Wood?

  5:45 and they're like, are you there? We're waiting for you, like, you with your credentials at the door. I go, am I there? The sun is genuinely here. She, I forgot, she goes to bed at like 7.

• 40:39Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 40:40Connor Wood?

  But who did she bring out as a guest?

• 40:42Brooke Averick?

  Uh, I saw, but I don't remember. It was a man that I like. I don't think it was Seth M.

• 40:51Connor Wood?

  Let me ask Siri. Who did Amy Poehler bring? Siri is completely like, on full-blown maternity leave.

• 40:59Brooke Averick?

  Relationship, Siri and I.

• 41:01Connor Wood?

  No. Siri is that episode of SpongeBob? And he goes, ah, I don't feel like it. When he starts working for Plankton.

• 41:10Brooke Averick?

  Yes.

• 41:10Connor Wood?

  And then he goes, I don't want the grill over there. Actually, over here, actually, over here.

• 41:14Brooke Averick?

  That was a good episode.

• 41:15Connor Wood?

  Then gets all the way to the beginning. I told you the other day, I asked Siri how hot, what the temperature was outside. And she goes, do you want me to ask ChatGPT? No, you have the app on the phone. It's not working at all and my phone is so hot.

• 41:29Brooke Averick?

  Lazy bones.

• 41:30Connor Wood?

  That it's in my pocket and it hurts. I bet there's a new iPhone coming out.

• 41:33Brooke Averick?

  I hope.

• 41:34Connor Wood?

  How much you wanna bet? When my phone starts doing this, when is the new iPhone coming out? Should I ask Siri?

• 41:39Brooke Averick?

  I keep getting new phones just because my camera lenses are always covered in crap.

• 41:42Connor Wood?

  I bet Siri knows when the new iPhone comes out. Watch. When does the new iPhone come out?

• 41:50Connor Wood?

  Yeah, you can find details on apple.com. I'm sure I can.

• 41:53Brooke Averick?

  I'm sure I can. Why can't she get those for you?

• 41:57Connor Wood?

  Pull them.

• 41:58Brooke Averick?

  Who did Amy bring out?

• 42:00Connor Wood?

  She won't tell me.

• 42:01Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 42:01Connor Wood?

  I'll never know.

• 42:02Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 42:04Connor Wood?

  Just like we live in a world where like Siri was supposed to be chat GPT and they just like gave up. You know, like.

• 42:12Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 42:12Connor Wood?

  Or Siri, Siri should have, Siri should have just simply been Google, but like Siri should have been the liaison. Siri's, Siri's job should be, and I think this is supposed to, a concierge at a hotel.

• 42:25Brooke Averick?

  Is Alexa any better?

• 42:27Connor Wood?

  I do think Alexa's a little better. Yeah, I would say that.

• 42:30Brooke Averick?

  Honestly, I don't know either of the girls super well.

• 42:33Connor Wood?

  The girls have gotten very comfortable at their jobs and I think it's time to like.

• 42:39Brooke Averick?

  Hello, movie idea alert, like Siri versus Alexa, like rivalry.

• 42:45Connor Wood?

  Personifying them or are they, they're tech forms?

• 42:48Brooke Averick?

  They're in tech forms.

• 42:48Connor Wood?

  Like computer wives? Ooh, I don't like that.

• 42:52Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 42:52Connor Wood?

  It's giving, it's kind of feels like smart house vibes. It'd be like home, it'd be like a home versus an iPhone.

• 42:59Brooke Averick?

  Yes.

• 42:59Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I don't like all that bullshit.

• 43:01Brooke Averick?

  No worries. Can I ask you a question?

• 43:05Connor Wood?

  I don't know.

• 43:06Brooke Averick?

  You know how on like every Instagram post you see, there's somebody in the comments saying, send me this post?

• 43:12Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 43:12Brooke Averick?

  Can I ask you what that is?

• 43:16Connor Wood?

  No.

• 43:16Brooke Averick?

  Like, is it, it's just a bot?

• 43:18Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 43:19Brooke Averick?

  Why are they saying that? Like, you're on the post.

• 43:23Connor Wood?

  Take it. I always come.

• 43:25Brooke Averick?

  What do you mean send you this post?

• 43:30Brooke Averick?

  You can only comment that because you're here on the post.

• 43:37Brooke Averick?

  You have no insight on that?

• 43:40Connor Wood?

  I'm like.

• 43:40Brooke Averick?

  I'm just like. What are you doing?

• 43:44Connor Wood?

  Who sent you? No, it's.

• 43:47Brooke Averick?

  It's just, I feel like there are so many.

• 43:48Connor Wood?

  It's not a person.

• 43:49Brooke Averick?

  But they, just like of all the things for bots to be doing, why are, like, that's the dumbest thing that anyone could say.

• 43:56Connor Wood?

  Send me this.

• 43:57Brooke Averick?

  You're on it.

• 44:00Connor Wood?

  You're already here. Do something.

• 44:03Brooke Averick?

  Like what?

• 44:05Connor Wood?

  I can't believe we're here right now where it's like.

• 44:09Connor Wood?

  I saw this thing that someone said about the Roman Empire. Like, no one knew the Roman Empire ended. They just started to notice that like roads weren't being fixed and bridges weren't being built. And it's like, we don't know that all this shit's over, but like Siri's not doing her job. Like Alexa can't hear me in the other room. She only hears me when someone else says something. It's like all these girls are going derder mode. And like, send me this post, bots.

• 44:33Brooke Averick?

  Derder mode?

• 44:34Connor Wood?

  Like der.

• 44:39Connor Wood?

  Like derder.

• 44:40Brooke Averick?

  Got it.

• 44:42Connor Wood?

  And it's just like we're witnessing like the wrong things are, are not, the wrong things are working. And like the basic things that would help me day to day are going derder mode.

• 44:55Brooke Averick?

  I feel like we've lived through at least two eras, like history classes of the future, like in hundreds of years. Are gonna split this time into eras, but I, I wonder if it's like pre nine 11 will be called one thing and post nine 11 will be called another thing.

• 45:12Brooke Averick?

  You know?

• 45:13Connor Wood?

  What did nine 11 do besides the obvious?

• 45:15Brooke Averick?

  Like a fuck ton of shit.

• 45:17Connor Wood?

  Like what?

• 45:18Brooke Averick?

  It just changed everything.

• 45:19Connor Wood?

  Like TSA?

• 45:23Brooke Averick?

  Just changed a lot of stuff in the political climate, which you know, that always trickles down. And stuff like that. And also technology around then also too.

• 45:47Brooke Averick?

  What?

• 45:49Brooke Averick?

  I'm Goog, I'm Googling it.

• 45:51Connor Wood?

  I'm Googling. Did everyone stop?

• 45:53Brooke Averick?

  How, how did everything change after?

• 45:57Connor Wood?

  When did everything change?

• 45:58Brooke Averick?

  Eleven.

• 45:59Connor Wood?

  Send.

• 46:01Brooke Averick?

  Oh, everything changed after nine 11.

• 46:05Brooke Averick?

  For example, permanently reshaping national security, launching decades of foreign wars, expanding government surveillance and completely altering daily public life.

• 46:14Connor Wood?

  No, yeah, I knew that.

• 46:16Brooke Averick?

  TSA.

• 46:19Brooke Averick?

  It's just like it was a vibe shift. I don't know what else to tell you.

• 46:22Connor Wood?

  No, it was a ma, nine 11 was a major vibe shift. I think we can all agree.

• 46:28Connor Wood?

  That's our title.

• 46:29Brooke Averick?

  It redefined international geopolitics and societal trust.

• 46:33Connor Wood?

  100%.

• 46:34Brooke Averick?

  Societal trust.

• 46:35Connor Wood?

  It was a terrorist attack.

• 46:38Connor Wood?

  Yes. I think it was like the whole thing.

• 46:44Brooke Averick?

  I don't want to talk about it anymore.

• 46:45Connor Wood?

  No, I don't either. And I have stuff we could.

• 46:48Brooke Averick?

  Oh, what do you want to talk about?

• 46:49Connor Wood?

  Like, holy, we didn't even have to push that as far as we did. Like, I have stuff. Oh, that was funny as shit though. Well, I watch a lot of TV.

• 46:58Brooke Averick?

  No.

• 46:59Connor Wood?

  I watch a lot of TV. Hang on. I watch a lot of TV.

• 47:02Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 47:03Connor Wood?

  I watched the invite. You watched the invite, right?

• 47:06Brooke Averick?

  I saw the invite.

• 47:07Connor Wood?

  That's like, for me. One of the top movies, Olivia.

• 47:11Brooke Averick?

  I loved it.

• 47:12Connor Wood?

  One of the top movies I've seen in a long time. It was really, really good.

• 47:19Connor Wood?

  Mary, I'm gonna say Mary J. Blige, Olivia Wilde. Blew my socks off.

• 47:23Brooke Averick?

  Mary J. Blew.

• 47:25Connor Wood?

  Mary, Mary J. Blige. Three names. Sometimes you can be so famous that you, you were referred to as one name, Oprah, Beyonce. Sometimes it's three, Mary J. Blige. She's not known as Mary. That's Jesus's mom.

• 47:41Connor Wood?

  That's a hard one to top.

• 47:42Brooke Averick?

  Right. Keep going with the invite.

• 47:47Connor Wood?

  Olivia Wilde's performance was so spectacular. Have you, you saw it? It was so spectacular.

• 47:53Brooke Averick?

  I said specifically Olivia really, really got me and I, I was kicking myself for kind of uh, being duped by kind of the, the narrative of hating her before.

• 48:05Connor Wood?

  Oh, I felt the same way.

• 48:06Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 48:07Connor Wood?

  Well, I think that's why I was like, oh, she's, I was really attuned to be like, her like micro facial expressions in it should be, that's like an acting masterclass.

• 48:18Brooke Averick?

  She was amazing.

• 48:19Connor Wood?

  It was so good. Seth Rogen's character pissed me off.

• 48:22Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 48:23Connor Wood?

  He was almost just like, it was Seth Rogen. And I was like, I don't like the way that you're behaving towards like, even though like.

• 48:29Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 48:30Connor Wood?

  You can be upset, like the way he was, I don't know. I think it was on purpose. I don't know if he's acting, but like, I was like, ugh, you're freaking me out. And then, um.

• 48:37Brooke Averick?

  Seth does always kind of just play.

• 48:39Connor Wood?

  Yeah, that's an amazing place to be. That's why Adam Sandler always plays Adam Sandler.

• 48:43Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 48:44Connor Wood?

  Trying to think of other people, but.

• 48:53Connor Wood?

  What's Cruz's first name?

• 48:54Brooke Averick?

  Penelope.

• 48:55Connor Wood?

  Penelope Cruz. She's so awesome.

• 48:58Brooke Averick?

  Every time I started speaking Spanish, I was cracking up.

• 49:01Connor Wood?

  She's so awesome. And then Sam. What's his name?

• 49:05Brooke Averick?

  Uh, Edward Norton.

• 49:06Connor Wood?

  Edward Norton. Why do I always call Sam?

• 49:09Brooke Averick?

  I think his name is Sam Rockwell.

• 49:10Connor Wood?

  Rockwell, yeah. Cause.

• 49:12Brooke Averick?

  Wasn't he just like? The perfect mix of like sometimes sexy and sometimes the biggest dweeb in the world?

• 49:18Connor Wood?

  He was the perfect mix of Saturday night and the rest of your life.

• 49:22Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 49:24Connor Wood?

  Anyone with a heart could agree. It was, it was really good. I really enjoyed that. And it got off my phone. It got me off my phone. Two, I watched shards.

• 49:34Brooke Averick?

  Ooh, how's that?

• 49:35Connor Wood?

  Good as fuck.

• 49:36Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I need to watch that.

• 49:37Connor Wood?

  Wow, it's so good. Shards is so good. It's that kind of TV where I feel like, I just talked about this in the bonus. But we're so back with like genre bending TV where it's like, this is, this is definitely like murder mystery vibes, but there's some other genre it brings in. It might just, the genre might just be hot, rich people, which like, you know, I love that bullshit. I love, it is like Salt Bernie. It's also like The Gentleman. It's like rich, hot people. Sex, party, drugs, rock and roll, but not, yeah, kind of rock and roll. They, it's a really great casting. I'm really, I've only, I watched both the episodes coming out weekly, which is just kind of a bummer. Um. Widows Bay, I finished it. Have you seen that?

• 50:19Brooke Averick?

  No.

• 50:19Connor Wood?

  It's really, it's, that's, that's my number one show of the year. They're gonna win every single, I mean, the acting and casting.

• 50:24Brooke Averick?

  What is that one about?

• 50:25Connor Wood?

  It's a murder, it's a, it's a mystery.

• 50:26Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 50:27Connor Wood?

  But it's a horror mystery, but it's a comedy and the comedy is top tier. It's like the emo, it's one of the best castings I've seen in so long. And again, like acting masterclass, they crushed it. They're all British. Almost the, the whole, top three main characters are all British. You would never know. They're like redneck. Like, not like this is really redneck, but like, um, like Block Island, it's on an island and it's like called Widows Bay.

• 50:50Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 50:51Connor Wood?

  And the premise is that this like new mayor is trying to turn it into the next Martha's Vineyard, but it's struggling because it has a curse.

• 50:57Brooke Averick?

  Got it.

• 50:57Connor Wood?

  It's an ama, it was amazing. They're gonna win every M H, take my word for it. And then Sterling Point tried to get into.

• 51:03Brooke Averick?

  That's the Mark Ruffalo son.

• 51:04Connor Wood?

  Really fucking bummed me out. I did not like it, but that's just because I don't like anything that everybody likes, so.

• 51:09Brooke Averick?

  Got it.

• 51:09Connor Wood?

  A little different.

• 51:10Brooke Averick?

  I've been hearing the most about Sterling's point.

• 51:13Connor Wood?

  It reminds me of Moody's point and now I always want to say. My toe!

• 51:17Brooke Averick?

  Doesn't matter if it's in the.

• 51:20Connor Wood?

  She's just up there in that hot air balloon, which is so awesome because she's just endlessly up there and it's like, ah.

• 51:25Brooke Averick?

  I used to think about her. I used to look for her in the sky.

• 51:28Connor Wood?

  No, you know, that's why I won't go in a hot air balloon still because of Moody's mom.

• 51:31Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Before we go, can you call Gabby and see if she's feeling okay?

• 51:35Connor Wood?

  That's, that's funny.

• 51:36Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. I think so too.

• 51:38Connor Wood?

  We have, I have, I have a couple more things really quick.

• 51:40Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 51:42Connor Wood?

  I want to hear what you think about this. So you know who Sam Altman is?

• 51:46Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I do. Who is that?

• 51:47Connor Wood?

  He's like the co, maybe the founder of OpenAI?

• 51:49Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I don't think I do know who he is.

• 51:51Connor Wood?

  So do you know who Jake Schroder is on Instagram?

• 51:53Brooke Averick?

  No.

• 51:54Connor Wood?

  Okay, so this is all a bunch of people that, so Sam Altman came out and said that he heard a really interesting use case for chat GPT and AI in general over the weekend. He had overheard a parent talking about how it, they were feeding a chatbot prompts about it, their child's um, sports and it's, and the academics and the, and the friends at school, and then it would create a podcast for the kid to listen to on the way to school while they drive them to school.

• 52:28Brooke Averick?

  And he's like, this is a great

• 52:30Connor Wood?

  This is a great thing. And I was like, that's so freaking everyone kind of unanimously was like, "Talk to the kids. You're doing all this work, like figuring out what, what should this thing talk about?" And then, you know, I, at some point, I always think about like, when I have kids, I don't have a kid, you know, I can't really speak to it. But I don't want to always talk to my kid either. Sometimes it would not be horrible to pop a podcast up, but there's already podcasts that exist. They should learn about the, I can't imagine the narcissist that a podcast about myself would create if I was just like, listening to things about me on the way to school. And then you get to school and you're like, I was listening to a podcast about myself on the way here. Your kid's gonna get bullied.

• 53:11Brooke Averick?

  That's this, yeah, this is bad.

• 53:12Connor Wood?

  You're creating a lot of like, mental illness.

• 53:14Brooke Averick?

  Just let your kid watch TV.

• 53:17Connor Wood?

  We have gotten so far past where we started.

• 53:22Brooke Averick?

  We watch TV and we turn out freaking amazing.

• 53:24Connor Wood?

  Yeah, look. Everything shifted after nine 11.

• 53:28Brooke Averick?

  And, and we know that.

• 53:31Connor Wood?

  We are aware of that.

• 53:33Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, so.

• 53:34Connor Wood?

  Look, and we don't trail on and on about nothing. We're very succinct.

• 53:40Brooke Averick?

  So well said.

• 53:42Connor Wood?

  Um, but over the weekend, I went through this on the bonus. So look at it, look at it. You were laughing, right, Gabe? Gabe, that was really funny. So Jake Schroder, who's so funny on Instagram, he does like, music, he writes like, um, satirical songs about things that happen. And like, he has a really good one about like, dictators used to be hot. Now they're not, you know, like dictators like Mussolini and all them used to have like, be fit and like, have muscle. And he's like, now we have these ones. And it's really funny, but he wrote one because he was, he matched with Shane Altman on Grindr. And it was real. And he posted it. And opening, I hit him up and they were like, can you take this down? We can offer you compensation. And he was like, "Hey, divas,

• 54:28Connor Wood?

  if compensation is on the table, I'll chat." Cause they're a trillion dollar company.

• 54:33Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 54:34Connor Wood?

  And they get on the Zoom. And well, first, he's, he's on a boat in Indonesia. So he's like, he's like, "Why am I lowkey not worried about this at all? Elameo, IDGAF, I'm on a boat. Ha, ha, ha, Zoom tomorrow." They do the Zoom. And they get off and they email him, "Thanks for the chat." The compensation we are able to provide for you at this time is $500 in a branded crew neck.

• 55:00Brooke Averick?

  I figured.

• 55:02Connor Wood?

  Trillion dollar company.

• 55:03Brooke Averick?

  It's insane.

• 55:03Connor Wood?

  $500 in a branded crew neck.

• 55:05Brooke Averick?

  It's insane.

• 55:05Connor Wood?

  And he go, he's just still posting about it. It's like, this like, the funniest.

• 55:10Brooke Averick?

  So dumb.

• 55:11Connor Wood?

  It's just like, artificial intelligence. Yeah. We can tell. Um, so he has a song now called, "AI or Gay Guy."

• 55:22Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I love that.

• 55:24Connor Wood?

  AI. I don't know. Look it up.

• 55:28Brooke Averick?

  Okay, I'll look it up.

• 55:30Connor Wood?

  It's good, though.

• 55:30Brooke Averick?

  Okay. Got it.

• 55:32Connor Wood?

  It's good, though. It's sweet. You'll like it.

• 55:34Brooke Averick?

  Cool.

• 55:34Connor Wood?

  Yeah. Pretty cool.

• 55:36Brooke Averick?

  I like it.

• 55:36Connor Wood?

  I, I mean, like, I had other topics for us, but nothing that we can't discuss quickly. Except I was telling everyone in the bonus again, that I was walking past a sex shop that I want to take you to, to walk by. Because they're using a picture of Erika Kirk and like, as their lingerie, like, on their marquee is like, to.

• 55:53Brooke Averick?

  Good marketing.

• 55:54Connor Wood?

  She's larger than life on this.

• 55:56Brooke Averick?

  Good marketing.

• 55:57Connor Wood?

  It draw, it's made me stop.

• 55:58Brooke Averick?

  You've stopped and you want to take me there.

• 56:00Connor Wood?

  I pulled over my bike. Someone almost hit me.

• 56:02Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 56:02Connor Wood?

  I was like, is that?

• 56:07Connor Wood?

  Babuga.

• 56:08Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 56:11Brooke Averick?

  That's really good.

• 56:11Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I need an adult DVD. I'm gonna get a DVD player. All right, we are genuinely like, I know it, it sounds like we, it feels like we just got here. We're, we have to leave the studio because of the time that we spent here already. So we, we do rent the studio when we're in the city together. And so they need it for someone else.

• 56:27Brooke Averick?

  I'm so sorry for, for my delay.

• 56:30Connor Wood?

  It's not your, it's out of your hands. You can't apologize for the New Jersey Transit system.

• 56:35Brooke Averick?

  I mean, I just, I'm still kind of pretty.

• 56:38Connor Wood?

  Shaken up.

• 56:38Brooke Averick?

  Pretty shaken up. Yeah. So sorry if I was weird today.

• 56:41Connor Wood?

  And sorry, I died.

• 56:43Brooke Averick?

  Sorry, I died.

• 56:43Connor Wood?

  I think all we can say is now we know, moving forward, that it's not the most trustworthy, reliant source of getting from here to there, there to here.

• 56:51Brooke Averick?

  Or give myself an extra five as a buffer.

• 56:54Connor Wood?

  Hours?

• 56:55Brooke Averick?

  Yes.

• 56:55Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 56:56Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. And yeah.

• 56:57Connor Wood?

  What's another couple hours in the city?

• 56:59Brooke Averick?

  Not a thing.

• 57:00Connor Wood?

  All right. Well, thank you guys for listening.

• 57:02Brooke Averick?

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