0:33 Speaker 01 Uh, Taylor Hansen? Sure, I'll try one. Mmm.
0:38 Speaker 03 Hey, let's get back to work, please.
0:40 Speaker 01 But Taylor Hansen's making my day way better with these new soft and swirly King's Hawaiian Cinnamon Bites.
0:44 Speaker 03 Taylor Hansen? Nice. Try one. Mmm.
0:52 Speaker 04 King's Hawaiian Cinnamon Bites. There's nothing like it.
1:07 Connor Wood? Hi, Brooke.
1:09 Brooke Averick? Hi, Con.
1:09 Connor Wood? How are you?
1:10 Brooke Averick? Good, how are you? It's great to see me, isn't it?
1:13 Connor Wood? It's so good to see you outside today. You are so beautiful outside today.
1:17 Brooke Averick? What about today?
1:22 Connor Wood? I was kind of doing an inside joke that I only have with myself, so I'm sorry.
1:26 Brooke Averick? No worries.
1:26 Connor Wood? It's a caption that I captioned something one time.
1:28 Brooke Averick? Oh, okay.
1:47 Connor Wood? I had that old Google phone. Because I didn't want to have an iPhone.
1:51 Brooke Averick? Oh, this inside joke goes way back?
1:53 Connor Wood? Yeah, I had the Google. I had the Google phone.
1:56 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
1:57 Connor Wood? I mean, and obviously Instagram came out the day that I got my first smartphone. It was a Google phone. Talk about buyer's remorse and like your parents got it for you.
2:06 Brooke Averick? Yeah, and you have to go on your friends' phones to do Instagram.
2:10 Connor Wood? That's a level of like, you feel bad for your parent. Like, you think back and it's like, what was I? They were so excited to get you a present and then you're like, I hate this actually. I need an iPhone, daddy.
2:22 Brooke Averick? There was like, nothing more urgent to me than the feeling of needing a new phone in high school. Like, the second that my plan ran up, it ran out, it was like, I'm shaking. Like, the anticipation is almost unbearable. Like, if my mom can't take me to the Verizon store the second school lets out, I will kill myself.
2:44 Connor Wood? The way it was the beginning of the end, right there.
2:46 Brooke Averick? It was all that mattered. And that's tragic.
2:51 Connor Wood? That's, yeah.
2:52 Brooke Averick? But that is, that's something, it was what it was. Like, there's just no denying that, unfortunately, going to the Verizon store to get a new phone was the end-all be-all.
3:02 Connor Wood? It was lit.
3:03 Brooke Averick? It was so fucking lit.
3:05 Connor Wood? It was lit as all hell.
3:07 Brooke Averick? I got a new phone.
3:09 Connor Wood? Yeah, I see.
3:09 Brooke Averick? Look at mine, I got the cosmic orange.
3:11 Connor Wood? Wow.
3:12 Brooke Averick? Yeah. Do you like it or what?
3:13 Connor Wood? Yeah, I do like it. It's fun.
3:15 Brooke Averick? And I got this octopus case. Listen to this.
3:19 Connor Wood? Okay.
3:20 Brooke Averick? I got this octopus case from this brand, I think it's called Pella. Not sure if I'm pronouncing that right. Could be Pel-a. P-E-L-A. And it's sustainable, which is amazing. I didn't do that on purpose, but it's amazing.
3:34 Brooke Averick? So it's like an interesting texture and the screen protector, yeah, it's like compostable.
3:40 Connor Wood? It's compostable. Oh, it looks it.
3:43 Brooke Averick? Yeah, it does. And the screen protector, Connor, is not plastic. It came in a vial, it's a vial of liquid.
3:54 Brooke Averick? And it said, rub this on your screen. It was a vial of liquid. Rub it on your screen, you're good to go. There's no fucking way.
4:01 Connor Wood? Is it real?
4:03 Brooke Averick? I don't know. It's on my screen. It's just I poured a little bit of liquid on it. And they said, your screen's protected. There's no way, right?
4:10 Connor Wood? Oh, how very.
4:11 Brooke Averick? How would that work?
4:12 Connor Wood? Very funky.
4:12 Brooke Averick? But they said if my phone breaks while I'm wearing this case and my water, my liquid screen protector, they will pay for my screen to get fixed. But I don't understand how that little dash of liquid that I spread on with a microfiber cloth is going to prevent my screen from cracking. That feels like sorcery and not only that, but magic.
4:34 Connor Wood? I like that a lot.
4:36 Brooke Averick? I just don't see how
4:39 Brooke Averick? that is possible.
4:42 Connor Wood? It's just not for, that's one of those things that's not for us to understand. That's one of those things just slightly out of reach for us.
4:48 Brooke Averick? That's one of those things where it's like, you know how in commercials for like skincare, it's like with new technology? And it's like, what do you mean technology?
4:55 Connor Wood? It's liquid. Yeah.
4:57 Brooke Averick? I think this might be technology.
4:58 Connor Wood? I remember what.
4:59 Brooke Averick? Liquid technology.
5:00 Connor Wood? The only thing that made sense when they were like with technology where this was the little beads that now they're like, that's cancer, by the way. They put little cancers in the goo.
5:07 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
5:07 Connor Wood? But I loved those little balls.
5:10 Brooke Averick? Connor?
5:11 Connor Wood? Lather me up.
5:12 Brooke Averick? If we could find a way to get the balls back in a way that doesn't hurt the environment.
5:17 Connor Wood? Balls.
5:17 Brooke Averick? I would jump in a full tub of balls.
5:20 Connor Wood? That of balls for me today, please. A vat of balls for the table.
5:24 Brooke Averick? Exfoliating can be such an amazing thing when done right.
5:28 Connor Wood? You can, you can catch me in the back of Bed Bath and Beyond, or not Bed Bath and Beyond.
5:34 Connor Wood? What is it? What was it called?
5:35 Brooke Averick? Let me know.
5:36 Connor Wood? Oh, my gosh.
5:37 Brooke Averick? Uh, Bath and Body Works.
5:38 Connor Wood? Bath and Biscuit. What is it?
5:39 Brooke Averick? Bath and Body Works.
5:40 Connor Wood? Bath and Body Works.
5:41 Brooke Averick? Bed, Bath and Biscuit.
5:43 Connor Wood? That was a, that was.
5:44 Brooke Averick? Oh, you must be thinking of nothing but the bun cake.
5:51 Connor Wood? Now I am.
5:53 Brooke Averick? Damn, that's.
5:54 Connor Wood? That's for sure.
5:55 Brooke Averick? I ordered one the other day. I had a gummy and I said, I don't have a nothing but the bunt right now.
6:02 Connor Wood? I got an itch for the bunt and nothing's gonna scratch it.
6:04 Brooke Averick? Forty-five minutes away. I said, no problem.
6:07 Connor Wood? I'll be here.
6:07 Brooke Averick? Fifteen dollar delivery fee. See if I give a fuck.
6:10 Connor Wood? I got an itch for the bunt and the only thing that's gonna scratch it, nothing but the bunt.
6:14 Brooke Averick? That cream cheese icing?
6:17 Connor Wood? Hang on.
6:17 Brooke Averick? Put it next to the tub of balls? Thanks. I'm diving in that too.
6:24 Brooke Averick? My perfect day would be diving into a tub of cream cheese icing and then rinsing it off with ball exfoliation.
6:33 Connor Wood? Yeah, so I'm at the mall.
6:37 Connor Wood? Right?
6:37 Brooke Averick? Yes.
6:38 Connor Wood? I'm at.
6:40 Connor Wood? Beyond the, what is it?
6:41 Brooke Averick? Bed, bath and.
6:42 Connor Wood? Bath and body works. That went under, by the way, so this is the thing of the past.
6:46 Brooke Averick? Bed, bath and body works with the bunt.
6:50 Connor Wood? Bath and body works? But also nothing but the bunt. And I'm washing, you used to be able to go there and wash your hands for free. And I used to think that was amazing and I just.
7:00 Brooke Averick? And I asked where they charge you to wash your hands?
7:02 Connor Wood? I just said that and I said, oh, well, where is it? Oh, my gosh, that was like a really cool thing for us to do and I just realized that we were just in there washing.
7:09 Brooke Averick? In Lush too. Did you ever go to Lush?
7:11 Connor Wood? Borrowing the soap. Uh, uh, no.
7:14 Brooke Averick? Oh, you would have liked Lush.
7:16 Connor Wood? Really?
7:17 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
7:17 Connor Wood? Why?
7:19 Brooke Averick? Because it smelled like cancer in a good way.
7:24 Connor Wood? I know what you mean.
7:25 Brooke Averick? Do you know what I mean? It was so potent and the, uh, staff there was like so alt-liberal before it was like normalized. So they were so cool. Like the staff at Lush were the first non-binary people. Does that make sense?
7:47 Connor Wood? Wait, the staff at Lush threw the first stone?
7:50 Brooke Averick? Yes.
7:50 Connor Wood? Brick?
7:51 Brooke Averick? Yes, they like started the movement of like be whatever the fuck you want, man.
7:57 Connor Wood? Lush.
7:58 Brooke Averick? Lush Cosmetics was the pioneer.
8:01 Connor Wood? You just have to keep, and this is unrelated, this is just like a sidebar, you gotta keep my horny ass out of Lush because
8:07 Brooke Averick? exploring gender.
8:07 Connor Wood? I'm gonna eat the soap. It looks so edible. That was, that was my Tide Pod. I'd walk by and they'd be like, samples, I gotta eat it.

8:18 Connor Wood? Um, what's going on with, what the hell's going on with you?

10:12 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
10:13 Connor Wood? But I drove down this morning from Santa Bar- or from like north of Santa Barbara, from St. Louis, Bispo. I didn't stop to pee once, right?
10:22 Brooke Averick? Wow, and that's a lot for you. You pee all the time.
10:24 Connor Wood? But then, I'm going to Topanga. I was really blessed by the route gods this morning because I drove through Topanga, which is gorgeous.
10:33 Brooke Averick? That makes me think of Danielle, who played Topanga, who got eliminated last night, and that makes me sad. But sorry, continue.
10:41 Connor Wood? Wait, okay, hang on. Actually...
10:47 Connor Wood? So yesterday, I get put in this- I'm in this hotel. I feel like I'm gonna get in trouble for this. I get put in this hotel. It's like an older hotel, but it's really gorgeous in downtown St. Louis, Bispo. And it was another one of those hotels where I couldn't find the light switch anywhere for the bathroom, so I was like, "I'll just take a shower in the dark." But it was fun because the bathroom- the shower actually had a window in the shower. And it was cool. It was like a little like this thing. Like you open it.
11:11 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
11:11 Connor Wood? Kind of like a little pee hole. And I open it, and there's like this image of this woman that's just like...
11:19 Connor Wood? I kinda like-
11:21 Brooke Averick? Snarling?
11:21 Connor Wood? Like a witch. Yeah, and I was like, "Oh, this is so funny. I wanna film this." Cause it's like, I'm in the shower, like it's dark. Fear not, there's this pee hole to this image of this woman. "Wait, you know, why are you in my shower?" And so I'm filming this-
11:35 Brooke Averick? Were you at the Madonna Inn?
11:37 Connor Wood? No, I was at Hotel Granada.
11:39 Brooke Averick? Oh.
11:40 Connor Wood? And they're gonna be mad, but okay.
11:44 Connor Wood? So basically, I'm filming, cuz I like wanna show, I wanna like post this on my story, like this is so funny is, you open the little hole for some natural light, and this woman is staring at you in the shower. And so I'm filming it, I kinda mess it up. I kinda mess it up again. This number keeps calling me like while I'm filming messing up all of my shots. And I'm like, gosh dang it, like get out of here, finally I turn airplane mode on. And I'm filming it and like I'm doing this voice at the end of the video like, hey, get out of my shower, like when I'm filming her and like, and I can hear people talking.
12:15 Brooke Averick? No.
12:17 Connor Wood? Like, and I'm like, what? Like cuz I opened the balcony door, so like I could hear outside too. And then I hear like knocking and finally like I'm on my 50th take of this video. And it's the same thing every day. I'm in the shower, blah blah, it's dark, oh luckily there's a window and they're saying,
12:36 Connor Wood? and finally I like turn the shower cuz I hear people talking, they're like banging and they're like, it's the front desk. I'm like, sorry, I'm in the shower. Get lost, you know, like. Um, and I go out, I look at my phone and there was all these missed calls. And I have a text, um, saying,
12:55 Connor Wood? hey, so sorry, you have to switch rooms. Your room is flooding the downstairs somehow. Something from your room is flooding the downstairs. Fully I've turned my, like I'm ignoring them, just like flooding the downstairs entrance to this thing.
13:09 Brooke Averick? That's not where I thought it was going. I thought that was like a people into the room next door and you were like really disturbing them with your video.
13:16 Connor Wood? I wish, I wish it was, but they could hear me going, they're, they're, they're going like, please, you're flooding the lobby. And I'm going,
13:27 Connor Wood? I'll show you the video.
13:28 Brooke Averick? Uh, oh, I'd like to see it. Did you get any footage of the flood?
13:32 Connor Wood? I got an image of the flood. So this is it downstairs.
13:37 Brooke Averick? How does this shit happen to you?
13:39 Connor Wood? Only me. No, look. And then I get, I get this text. Absolutely no rush, but the hotel needs you to change rooms because there's water leaking from your room. Let me know when you're available to do this. Um, and then.
13:58 Connor Wood? Wait, that was a different one? This is the show.
14:17 Connor Wood? I think it's an image of Madonna, actually, now that I look at it again. Did that look like Madonna to you?
14:22 Brooke Averick? I don't know. My contacts don't work anymore.
14:25 Connor Wood? So that was, yeah, that was, that was last night. And then today, I'm driving down. I said I didn't stop to pee because I peed while driving.
14:34 Brooke Averick? Oh, cool. Into the hydro?
14:35 Connor Wood? No, into a coffee cup.
14:38 Brooke Averick? Nice.
14:40 Brooke Averick? While in the driver's seat?
14:41 Connor Wood? While in the driver's seat, moving.
14:44 Brooke Averick? I don't even wanna...
14:44 Connor Wood? It's something crazy that's happened with me getting older is I'm getting grad... I can pee any, any... In any circumstances, I can pee. I could look at you right now in your eyes while podcasting and pee my pants.
14:57 Brooke Averick? Wow. I could not pee my pants even if I wanted to.
15:02 Connor Wood? It's so, like, I don't even, like...
15:03 Brooke Averick? There's a stopper. There's a gob stopper. A mental gob stopper.
15:07 Connor Wood? A never-ending gob. No, it's, it's something, and it's so, it's so crazy because I used to be so pee shy that I would be in like a dire situation that was life or death, like road trip with my parents and we're like in a rush or going somewhere. And I would walk in and get ready to pee and someone would be at the urinal next to me and I couldn't even like, release my
15:26 Connor Wood? grasp.
15:27 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
15:27 Connor Wood? And I'd walk out and have to look at my dad and be like...
15:31 Brooke Averick? Wow.
15:32 Connor Wood? I didn't go.
15:32 Brooke Averick? Wow.
15:33 Connor Wood? Get back in there and do it.
15:35 Brooke Averick? Wow.
15:36 Connor Wood? And I couldn't pull trick. But right now, looking at you in the eye, looking at the camera, I could
15:41 Connor Wood? wet the Kelly.
15:42 Brooke Averick? Wow. I've never been pee shy, but I just can't pee in my pants.
15:46 Connor Wood? How do you know?
15:47 Brooke Averick? I've tried.
15:48 Connor Wood? You've tried to pee your pants? Why?
15:50 Brooke Averick? Like when I was like, young.
15:52 Connor Wood? So you have a-
15:52 Brooke Averick? I guess I could try, I like, it hasn't come, the need hasn't come up recently.
15:56 Connor Wood? Really?
15:56 Brooke Averick? To want to pee in my pants, yeah.
15:59 Connor Wood? I peed my pants a little bit in Mexico when I was just there for that wedding.
16:03 Brooke Averick? Why?
16:04 Connor Wood? Because I got up to my room, I like sprinted, I like had this huge walk home and like sprinted up to my room to pee. And like, the anticipation of almost being in my room, like my Bluetooth connected to the toilet type thing, type beat? And so it was like, okay, we're, we're, we're releasing in five, four, three, two. And then I had lost my hotel key and I had like started to, and then you got like-
16:32 Brooke Averick? That is such an amazing way to put it. You're like bodily Bluetooth connecting to the toilet.
16:38 Connor Wood? You know what it is too, like if you need to use the bathroom-
16:41 Brooke Averick? Connor, you're a genius.
16:43 Connor Wood? If you need to-
16:43 Brooke Averick? I feel like I don't tell you that enough.
16:45 Connor Wood? That is-
16:45 Brooke Averick? You are a genius. The amount of times that my body is connected to the Bluetooth-
16:50 Connor Wood? Mm-hmm.
16:51 Brooke Averick? At the buzzer.
16:52 Connor Wood? Right.
16:53 Brooke Averick? And I'm stepping over the threshold of the bathroom and I'm like, I'm, I'm not going to make it the one step to the toilet. Because my body connects to the Bluetooth prematurely.
17:04 Connor Wood? Yeah, there is a-
17:04 Brooke Averick? Wow.
17:05 Connor Wood? Yeah, no, it's, even when you're like driving home and it's like, I know where I am, it's like, Bluetooth device connected.
17:11 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
17:12 Connor Wood? And then you are running and, and then you get a, but like your body, the body keeps a score.
17:19 Brooke Averick? Wow. You blow my mind.
17:22 Connor Wood? Really?
17:23 Brooke Averick? Yeah, that, to me, that is the smartest thing you've ever said.
17:25 Connor Wood? That is so crazy because I, we talk so much, so often and it, why does that, it's, I mean, it does make complete and total sense that it would be toilet related, that you, you've, you've awarded me like the highest.
17:37 Brooke Averick? I was also, I was wa, I like, don't usually watch our clips because I can't like, watch myself. But I was watching the one, uh, about when you were explaining quantum.
17:47 Connor Wood? Yeah.
17:48 Brooke Averick? Yesterday and I was like-
17:49 Connor Wood? I saw your comment.
17:50 Brooke Averick? I was like, this is not okay.
17:52 Connor Wood? I knew in the moment, I was like, this is so, I was, I was spewing and I was like, oh, this is really trash.
17:59 Brooke Averick? Just like everything going on in the world and this is what we're choosing.
18:03 Connor Wood? We're fucking clowns, like, what are we talking about?
18:05 Brooke Averick? This is not okay.
18:06 Connor Wood? No.
18:07 Brooke Averick? And so that's why today we're moving forward, but talking about subs.

18:52 Speaker 03 Hey, let's get back to work, please.
18:54 Brooke Averick? But Taylor Hansen's making my day way better with these new soft and swirly King's Hawaiian cinnamon bites.
18:58 Speaker 03 Taylor Hansen? Nice. Try one. Mmm.
19:05 Speaker 04 King's Hawaiian cinnamon bites. There's nothing like it.
19:15 Brooke Averick? Wow.
19:15 Connor Wood? You, and you have a lot to talk about.
19:17 Brooke Averick? Kinda. Well, I have a note.
19:19 Connor Wood? What do you mean?
19:20 Brooke Averick? Of things to talk about, which I feel like I haven't had in a long time.
19:24 Connor Wood? You, not in our shared note? I would really worry.
19:27 Brooke Averick? I have a private note.
19:29 Connor Wood? Okay.
19:30 Brooke Averick? That being said.
19:31 Connor Wood? All right.
19:32 Brooke Averick? Uh, starting in December, I'm not going to be using my phone. Because I'm, I'll have my Hobonichi.
19:41 Connor Wood? Walk me the rest?
19:43 Brooke Averick? I am on a side of TikTok that is like, uh, journal scapes and stationary and planners in a way that has consumed me, body and soul. And I, you know, I've been spending a lot of time trying to figure out what journaling ecosystem is right for me, what kind of planner is right for me. And I've decided for my planner to go with the Hobonichi Weeks. Um, the English version, it's also, it's originated in Japan, so.
20:12 Connor Wood? Yeah.
20:13 Brooke Averick? English version. And I am going, it's like kind of pocket sized. And I'm going to be using my Hobonichi in a way that you've never seen me use anything before. And it's not going to be the kind of thing where I like get an iPad and I'm obsessed with it for like four weeks and stop. I'm going to be carrying this Hobonichi around with me everywhere. I'm going to have lists in it. So I'm gonna have what I'm gonna talk about on the podcast in my Hobonichi. You're gonna see me sitting here with my Hobonichi. Okay. And I got a little sticker printer, you know, those like little Canon things. So I'm gonna print like a few pictures from the week and like kind of like junk journal on the other side.
20:53 Connor Wood? Yeah, that's fun.
20:54 Brooke Averick? Yeah, this is go like my, I'm about to put my whole post into the Hobonichi for 2026.
21:01 Connor Wood? That's something to look forward to. What a fun, it's, things are looking up, Hobonichi.
21:06 Brooke Averick? Things have been really looking up and Matt King and I, I texted him, you know, once I got into this.
21:12 Connor Wood? Of course.
21:13 Brooke Averick? Yeah, he's, he's my.
21:14 Connor Wood? Who else do you call?
21:15 Brooke Averick? I said, Matt, do you know anything about Hobonichi? I mean, he already fricking got his 2026. Like duh. So we're going, you know how we did a like bookstore?
21:27 Connor Wood? Yeah.
21:28 Brooke Averick? Tour a few weeks ago, we're doing a stationary shop.
21:31 Connor Wood? Oh, that is just.
21:32 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
21:33 Connor Wood? You two together.
21:34 Brooke Averick? Yeah. Yeah. So we're gonna get all these kinds of supplies for journaling and stuff. And if you guys have any other suggestions for what I could use for my journaling ecosystem alongside of the Hobonichi.
21:45 Connor Wood? Open the floodgates.
21:46 Brooke Averick? Please let me know because I'm just so, I'm so excited to dive.
21:49 Connor Wood? That is, you two are trouble when you get together.
21:51 Brooke Averick? Literally.
21:52 Connor Wood? Yeah.
21:53 Brooke Averick? Like the two of us, once you get us started, good luck stopping us.
21:57 Connor Wood? You can't, I can't.
21:59 Brooke Averick? That's all I have.
21:59 Connor Wood? You two in the stationary store like keep your dick in your pants. Everyone else stay home.
22:03 Brooke Averick? Yeah, I would stay home on Friday.
22:05 Connor Wood? If you were thinking about getting out, don't go outside on Friday.
22:08 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
22:08 Connor Wood? Matt King and Lady, Lady E are gonna be hitting the, hitting the paper.
22:12 Brooke Averick? And like when I tell you we're doing like downtown to like Orange County.
22:17 Connor Wood? I believe you.
22:18 Brooke Averick? Like, I hope you believe me.
22:19 Connor Wood? I do.
22:20 Brooke Averick? I made that up, but like, I just like, do you hope you understand the lengths that we're going?
22:24 Connor Wood? I don't, this is not surprising to me at all. I haven't even blinked.
22:27 Brooke Averick? Yeah, thanks. So I already, my Hobonichi got delivered yesterday.
22:32 Connor Wood? Wow.
22:33 Brooke Averick? Yeah, it's pink and there's like this clear case that I got for it and I'm gonna put stickers on it too. I think you'll really like it.
22:41 Connor Wood? Can you, I'm sorry if I'm, it's like a, it's a planner?
22:47 Brooke Averick? Izzy, can you look up the Hobonichi? Oh my God, that's my Hobonichi.
22:51 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
22:53 Brooke Averick? So this is the, that's the monthly view. So it's just like an overview. So yes, so it's like tiny. And that's where I'll plan like my appointments and what I have during the week. And on the right, that's where I'm going to put like, here's what I'm going to talk about on the pod. Like here's a picture from my Canon sticker printer.
23:09 Connor Wood? You're gonna bring that in here with your, your talking points.
23:12 Brooke Averick? Yes, with my talking points. So each week it's like appointments on the left and shit like that. Due dates, whatever. And on the right, like podcasts, here's what I did this week, et cetera.
23:21 Connor Wood? Oh, that's lovely.
23:21 Brooke Averick? And then in the back, there's like a lot of free pages, which is where I'm going to print pictures of the books I read and, and have a log.
23:28 Connor Wood? That's awesome.
23:28 Brooke Averick? Like a physical goodreads, so.
23:31 Connor Wood? I have so many, um, Moleskines that you would think that I was like a city planner.
23:36 Brooke Averick? Yeah. There's also, uh, what is this? There's these journals.
23:43 Brooke Averick? I don't know the name, but they're like Louise. Izzy, can you look up Louise's journal? It might not be Louise at all. Where you can like put all of your like Moleskines or what? Yes, yes, yes.
23:56 Connor Wood? Oh, yeah. Yeah.
23:57 Brooke Averick? Those are gorgeous and you can put like multiple notebooks, like your Moleskines inside of them and have an ecosystem in one.
24:07 Brooke Averick? Does that make sense?
24:07 Connor Wood? Have you journaled before?
24:09 Brooke Averick? I have about 50 half-filled journals.
24:14 Connor Wood? I, like, I'm not, I, I will never in my life, if anyone found any, because I, I sporadically will journal. I'll be like, this is like a really good time, or I'll be on a trip and just be having like an eat, pray, love moment. And I'm like, I'm going to journal this. If I ever read one of those, I probably, like my dick would go inside my body from self embarrassment. It's like hearing, it's like hearing yourself sing in the car and you like, really hit the note wrong and then you turn the music off and you drive in silence as punishment. If I read one of my journal entries, I'd be like, who the fuck do you think you are?
24:49 Brooke Averick? Well, because I write, I always wrote in my journals with the hopes that it would be discovered, like Anne Frank style.
24:55 Connor Wood? Wow. Okay. Yeah. I got like, but there's this level of a depth that like, I don't have data. But like this moment where it's like, girl, who's going to be okay every time I journal?
25:06 Brooke Averick? Main character. Yeah.
25:07 Connor Wood? Yeah, but like. Like, there's a self-awareness right now happening, but when I'm in that journal, Ernest Hemingway.
25:17 Brooke Averick? Totally.
25:17 Connor Wood? You would, and I'm like, when I'm journaling, it like always seems like I'm on the precipice of like some massive like self-evolution and like I never am. It's the same, the journaling doesn't do it. It's like humiliating.
25:31 Brooke Averick? I also have so many journals with just one page filled out when it's like I was obviously like, it was like, I was at my lowest and like to the point where it's like, I'm gonna go to the beach and journal.
25:40 Connor Wood? Yeah.
25:40 Brooke Averick? And so there's like 60 different journals of just like, ah, today's the last day for me.
25:47 Brooke Averick? Ever.
25:49 Connor Wood? Mine is always like, like what I, it's funny because I'll have, my, my mole skins are all like this. Um, Minneapolis set list for my, the comedy show. Next one, groceries. Next one, drawing of a mountain.
26:03 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
26:04 Connor Wood? Next one.
26:06 Connor Wood? Today I feel like it's like a full journaling thing, but it, I can't describe like I.
26:12 Brooke Averick? Well, that's why people have these ecosystems because one can be for a grocery list. One can be for today, I feel.
26:18 Connor Wood? Yeah, there's no organization in a mole, mole skin, but I do find, I do like that though, because it kind of is like junk journaling, but just my thoughts.
26:25 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
26:26 Connor Wood? It, it makes my skin crawl. It makes me want to tear my skin off of my body thinking about someone reading that.
26:32 Brooke Averick? You know what's bad? The two times in my life that I journaled the most consistently were the, like my middle school journal that I like, used to read on TikTok.
26:41 Connor Wood? I love those.
26:41 Brooke Averick? And then my 2020, like going through like COVID and like getting onto TikTok, meeting you and Kat. I remember vividly journaling, journaling about.
26:52 Connor Wood? Do you have those mole skins?
26:55 Brooke Averick? And I, I will not, I cannot open them.
26:57 Connor Wood? No. Yeah. You know what's, I, I, I don't know where half of mine went.
27:01 Brooke Averick? I, I know exactly where they are.
27:02 Connor Wood? I've moved so many times and it's just so scary thinking about like, someone helping me move and being like, what's this? And opening a page to like, a day where I was just like feeling like God.
27:13 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
27:14 Connor Wood? Like with this, this insight that few have ever encountered. And it was just like one day before I.
27:22 Connor Wood? Talked about Bluetooth into the toilet.
27:24 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
27:24 Connor Wood? Like this, that, that's the same person.
27:26 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
27:27 Connor Wood? It's, it's, it's insane. It's making me, it's making me feel a little bit, I'm sickened by the thought of it.
27:34 Brooke Averick? You know, my friend Lindsay, she has journaled every day of her life. So she has hundreds stacks of journals, like dating back to like, middle school to now. And like, when she goes through them and like, she'll find like moments that I had forgotten about, like that we lived through and we'll send them. And it's just like, this, like, I should have been doing this the whole time.
27:57 Connor Wood? See, that, for that reason, I can see it making sense. Cause that, you get to a point where it's like, why do I have a hundred Moleskines?
28:05 Brooke Averick? Right.
28:06 Connor Wood? It would be nice if you could digitize it and then be like, you could, you would search like an index of your memories and stuff, because I have made up, I, I have memories that I made up. That never happened. I've told the same story enough times. It's someone else's story they told me and I had been, I've been telling people that it happened to me for so long that like that, now I believe it is fact. And it's really scaring me.
28:28 Brooke Averick? I have those too.
28:29 Connor Wood? It's scaring me.
28:31 Brooke Averick? It is scary how you can't trust yourself.
28:32 Connor Wood? I never did X, Y, Z, but like, in my head I have.
28:35 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
28:36 Connor Wood? But also it's pretty amazing. You could just make up your, you can make up your reality.
28:40 Brooke Averick? Most people do.
28:43 Connor Wood? Yeah.
28:43 Brooke Averick? Maybe not most people, but a lot of people.
28:47 Brooke Averick? I have a few realities that I've made up.
28:49 Connor Wood? I know, yeah.
28:50 Brooke Averick? Connor.
28:50 Connor Wood? No, no, I know. Like, that is, that like, it makes sense.
28:53 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
28:55 Connor Wood? Yeah, like you doing nine 11. That is a made up reality. That's OCD though.
29:00 Brooke Averick? Yeah, that's a good point.
29:01 Connor Wood? But that's like.
29:01 Brooke Averick? That's a little bit different, but yeah.
29:03 Connor Wood? The darker side of making up your own reality.
29:05 Brooke Averick? Totally.
29:07 Brooke Averick? You didn't say anything about my bangs.
29:09 Connor Wood? I like your bangs.
29:10 Brooke Averick? Do you?
29:10 Connor Wood? That's what it is. Yeah. Yeah. That's, remember I was looking at you during the Jones, the Jones Road. I was like, something's out.
29:16 Brooke Averick? Oh yeah, you said I was beautiful.
29:17 Connor Wood? Something's different about this young woman.
29:20 Brooke Averick? I'm obsessed with my bangs and I keep posting about it, but there are some people that keep responding like those aren't bangs. Which I have a few things to say.
29:29 Connor Wood? Yeah. If they're coming out of the top of your forehead, they're bangs, right?
29:31 Brooke Averick? They're bangs. And I, and I freaking love my bangs.
29:37 Connor Wood? My bangs.
29:39 Brooke Averick? Maybe they're bang because there's one strand of hair. That's fine too.
29:45 Brooke Averick? But bang or bangs, they're important to me. And I and I and I need them to be acknowledged as such.
29:53 Connor Wood? Bang officially not a word in this space. Like I've heard.
29:56 Brooke Averick? Huh?
29:57 Connor Wood? I can't. It doesn't sound like a real.
29:58 Brooke Averick? I have bang.
30:00 Connor Wood? Luckily, I have bang.
30:01 Brooke Averick? Yeah, bang bangs, whatever. Do not DM me and tell me I do not have bangs.
30:07 Connor Wood? Don't comment on a woman's bang.
30:09 Brooke Averick? Do not, especially when I'm loving them.
30:11 Connor Wood? Yeah.
30:13 Brooke Averick? That's all I have to say about that.
30:14 Connor Wood? No, that's great. That's a it's a great to highlight that. Isn't it weird that the stuff coming out of my legs right here, same coming out of my head?
30:23 Brooke Averick? Hair?
30:23 Connor Wood? Hair.
30:25 Brooke Averick? I always wonder, like, how did my body know to grow two eyebrows? Like hair just in the spots of my, well, some bodies do that. Like two, like pieces of hair in the eyebrow space.
30:38 Connor Wood? It's really spectacular.
30:39 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
30:39 Connor Wood? The the work that bodies can do. Wait, I was thinking about this the other day and not to bring. Someone brought up Hank Green again at one of my shows and they were like, would you want him to come on? I was like, yeah, like we have so many questions for Hank Green. But one of them, I was talking, we talk about evolution all the time, but I had a different thought in bed the other day about evolution and it was about. Like really?
31:00 Brooke Averick? It's to keep things from falling into your eyes.
31:02 Connor Wood? Yeah, that's to keep sweat from getting into your eye. I I understand eyebrows. That's why my eyes.
31:06 Brooke Averick? That's incredible.
31:07 Connor Wood? That is incredible. I'm talking about, remember we talked about like, who is it benefiting for us all not to be?
31:15 Connor Wood? There are, oh, my gosh. Okay, I figured it out. I just pieced together this thought. Now, it's gonna take me a second to explain it out loud.
31:22 Brooke Averick? I'll be patient.
31:23 Connor Wood? In my mind. Okay. Who does it benefit? Evolus- evolutionally? For anyone to not be like the hottest person ever, right? We talked about that.
31:32 Brooke Averick? We talked about this.
31:33 Connor Wood? So it's like, and we all agree that there are people that are just like simply, we all agree, like, paid to be hot. They like, that's all like models, super, super models. It's like, they are so hot. And then I was thinking like, like a, like a mallard duck isn't like, like in the animal world, there's, there's not animals that are like, you look at them, they're hotter to the, like, there isn't like a hot duck.
31:54 Brooke Averick? I'm sure there are.
31:56 Connor Wood? Like in their eyes?
31:57 Brooke Averick? Yes.
31:58 Connor Wood? Right. In the eye of the beholder. But you know what I was thinking about?
32:01 Brooke Averick? What?
32:03 Connor Wood? If the point of
32:06 Connor Wood? of the attractiveness thing is to produce offspring.
32:13 Connor Wood? Like it's evolutionally beneficial to settle eventually. For like some, you know, if like, you can't get this hot person like, I'm gonna settle so I can make babies.
32:28 Brooke Averick? I don't know if I'm following.
32:29 Connor Wood? Okay, does anyone get it? Crap, like, do you get it? Is he, is he, is he frowning and turning? Okay. If you were going, you're like, I have to reproduce with that hot mallard duck. But that hot-
32:46 Brooke Averick? Can we just use humans? I feel like maybe I'd understand it better.
32:49 Connor Wood? Okay, so you have-
32:50 Brooke Averick? Give me specific people.
32:51 Connor Wood? You're, okay. Well, I don't, I don't want to because I don't, because I, this, because when you're talking about a person like that, then it kind of feels mean to say what I'm saying.
32:58 Brooke Averick? You like Jacob Elordi.
32:59 Connor Wood? Okay, so say that is your dream man and you're like, it, like, I need to have babies with Jacob.
33:06 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
33:07 Connor Wood? Or else my bloodline will cease to exist.
33:11 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
33:12 Connor Wood? Right.
33:12 Brooke Averick? Procreating unless it's with G.I.
33:13 Connor Wood? Procreating with Jacob Elordi.
33:16 Brooke Averick? Okay.
33:17 Connor Wood? Or my bloodline ceases to exist.
33:19 Brooke Averick? Yes.
33:21 Connor Wood? But then you realize, he's, he's, he's dating Olivia J and like, he's not interested.
33:26 Brooke Averick? Right.
33:27 Connor Wood? So you now, you're like, well, I need another option. Let me settle with this so that I can continue my lineage. Do you know what I mean?
33:35 Brooke Averick? That doesn't explain why not everyone, like, why wouldn't everyone just look like Jacob Elordi?
33:40 Connor Wood? That's what I'm confused about.
33:43 Brooke Averick? Right.
33:44 Connor Wood? That's my point of contention.
33:45 Brooke Averick? So you're saying that it benefits people evolutionarily to procreate?
33:51 Connor Wood? No, I'm saying settling, when you can't get the hottest person, is beneficial to-
33:56 Brooke Averick? Yeah, having kids, yeah.
33:58 Connor Wood? But like, if you can't have it with the hottest, then that's the, that's what I'm saying. Like, I don't get why everyone's not hot, because it's not fair.
34:07 Brooke Averick? Yeah. I, I also feel that way.
34:10 Connor Wood? Okay. Guess what happened to me?
34:13 Brooke Averick? What?
34:15 Connor Wood? I had, imagine my surprise when I looked down the other day and I had belly button lint.
34:24 Brooke Averick? We've been, you've spoken about that before.
34:25 Connor Wood? No, I had it. I put it in my notes.
34:28 Brooke Averick? Oh, oh.
34:29 Connor Wood? I had it this week and it wasn't even like a new sweater or anything. It's a sweater that I wear frequently. And I had belly button lint. I thought that only happens in cartoons.
34:41 Brooke Averick? No, that kind of grosses me out.
34:43 Connor Wood? It didn't grow it. It came from somewhere.
34:45 Brooke Averick? I didn't say you grew it.
34:47 Connor Wood? What grosses you out?
34:48 Brooke Averick? Just like you having lint in your belly button.
34:51 Connor Wood? It's not dirty. Lint itself is not dirty.
34:54 Brooke Averick? It's just like, it's just making me like, ugh.
34:57 Connor Wood? It's better than the time I found a little mini M and M in my belly button and I didn't even remember having had those anytime soon. And it wasn't even melted, actually.
35:06 Brooke Averick? I don't like belly buttons.
35:11 Connor Wood? She doesn't like belly buttons?
35:12 Brooke Averick? Yeah. I don't think-
35:14 Connor Wood? She certainly doesn't like belly button lint.
35:15 Brooke Averick? Yeah, ugh.
35:16 Connor Wood? I love belly buttons. The fact that we have like a little hot tub on our stomach, that's amazing.
35:20 Brooke Averick? Yeah, I don't, I don't fuck with it.
35:22 Connor Wood? I love the idea of like-
35:24 Brooke Averick? Stop fingering it right now.
35:25 Connor Wood? I'm not fingering.
35:26 Brooke Averick? You were. That's exactly what you were doing.
35:30 Connor Wood? I was trying to find it. Um, it's a beautiful idea to have a bunch of little mini people going swimming in my belly button.
35:37 Brooke Averick? My dream man is that Kyle XY guy, because he didn't have one.

36:12 Speaker 01 Ugh, I hate Mondays.
36:14 Speaker 02 King's Hawaiian cinnamon swirl bite?
36:15 Speaker 01 Uh, Taylor Hansen? Sure, I'll try one. Mmm.
36:21 Speaker 03 Hey, let's get back to work, please.
36:22 Speaker 01 But Taylor Hansen's making my day way better with these new soft and swirly King's Hawaiian cinnamon bites.
36:27 Speaker 03 Taylor Hansen? Nice. Try one.
36:30 Connor Wood? Mmm.
36:34 Brooke Averick? King's Hawaiian cinnamon bites. There's nothing like it.
36:42 Connor Wood? What was, what was his whole thing? Was he just an alien?
36:45 Brooke Averick? I think he was an alien.
36:47 Brooke Averick? Wait, who played him? Oh, I don't know. Just Kyle XY.
36:51 Connor Wood? Matt Dallas.
36:54 Connor Wood? Never heard of him. Did he ever work again?
36:56 Brooke Averick? That is hysterical.
36:59 Connor Wood? That was the cover image, which is a young man lifting up.
37:02 Brooke Averick? The writer's room.
37:03 Connor Wood? Look, no belly button.
37:05 Brooke Averick? The writer's room. I love that, to think about that.
37:09 Connor Wood? That's not more disturbing to you than, than me?
37:13 Brooke Averick? Um.
37:14 Connor Wood? That makes me.
37:14 Brooke Averick? It is like a little weird because it's just like, we're not used to it.
37:19 Connor Wood? Imagine an alien being like, look, I'm, I'm an alien because I don't have a belly button.
37:22 Brooke Averick? But also aliens, like the, like stereotypical, like green little guy, like they have belly buttons, right?
37:29 Connor Wood? That's true. Like aliens are born too. Like what, how did they get around to it? Um.
37:36 Brooke Averick? Oh, he does not have a belly button.
37:37 Connor Wood? Look at the little body.
37:39 Brooke Averick? That person has two.
37:44 Brooke Averick? I guess we really don't know.
37:45 Connor Wood? Belly, belly buttons are in the eye of the beholder.
37:48 Brooke Averick? I guess we don't know.
37:49 Connor Wood? I love my belly button.
37:51 Brooke Averick? Speaking of aliens, there's going to be a new American Horror Story season, as there always is. But did you see who's going to be in this one?
38:00 Connor Wood? Ariana Grande.
38:01 Brooke Averick? And the OGs. Evan Peters is back. Jessica Lange is back. Emma Roberts is back. Uh, is Sarah Paulson back? Sarah Paulson is back. Like, I have high hopes. I pray.
38:12 Connor Wood? I just saw online that, that All's Fair, that new show that just came out.
38:16 Brooke Averick? Zero percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
38:18 Connor Wood? That it's so, so, so bad that it made Sarah Paulson look like a bad actor.
38:22 Brooke Averick? I saw a clip. It is bleak.
38:25 Connor Wood? Well, everyone's saying it's so bad. I need 10 more seasons of it.
38:27 Brooke Averick? Yeah, but it's like, not even, the writing is like a joke, like ChatGPT vibes.
38:34 Connor Wood? It might be.
38:35 Brooke Averick? Yeah, but in a way it's like funny. Ryan Murphy.
38:38 Connor Wood? Because Ryan Murphy is putting out so much stuff, it wouldn't even be shocking if he's just starting to make bad stuff.
38:42 Brooke Averick? I pray that he actually like puts like an ounce of effort into this new American Horror Story.
38:46 Connor Wood? I feel like there's so much on the line here that he has to. By the way, I watched I Love LA. Did you, have you seen it yet?
38:55 Brooke Averick? I don't, yeah.
38:56 Connor Wood? Rachel Sinet?
39:00 Brooke Averick? You like like?
39:01 Connor Wood? No, I'm saying you did it. I downloaded HBO Max because of you.
39:07 Brooke Averick? Oh, wow.
39:09 Connor Wood? It's really good.
39:10 Brooke Averick? I need to watch.
39:10 Connor Wood? It's really, really good. And I don't know if it was because, I don't know if it's because, like, having lived in LA, I think there's a lot of nuances that, like, you kind of only get if you live here. And because of that, like, the writing and all these little pieces, I'm like, oh, my god.
39:24 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
39:25 Connor Wood? This is, it's so, I think it's so good.
39:30 Connor Wood? It's kind of like a Gen Z entourage. But with, like, influencers, agents and influencers instead of, like, actors. It's one episode I've seen, so I don't know if it's gonna change or what. But, like, right now, I really like it. There is a thing happening right now, like, on Twitter and stuff, where people are like, I don't like, I don't like this character. It's like, guess what? It's a character.
39:52 Brooke Averick? Right.
39:52 Connor Wood? You can't have a parasocial relationship with a character that, like, doesn't exist. And the point of the writing is to make you not like.
39:59 Brooke Averick? Right. Some people, I'm like, do you realize, like, you're not supposed to like this character?
40:03 Connor Wood? It's, it's, it's the bean soup theory.
40:05 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
40:06 Connor Wood? You know the bean soup theory.
40:07 Brooke Averick? I know the bean soup theory.
40:08 Connor Wood? If you don't know the bean soup theory, the bean soup theory, it's a young woman that made the bean soup. And someone commented, "I don't like beans. How can I make this soup?" You don't make the soup. You don't make the bean soup.
40:20 Brooke Averick? No soup for you. No soup for you.
40:21 Connor Wood? You don't, you don't make this particular soup. Lucky for you, there's other soups.
40:26 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
40:26 Connor Wood? Go seek those out. And for this, it's like, I don't like it. Don't watch it.
40:30 Brooke Averick? I agree.
40:31 Connor Wood? You're not, that character is not real. It can't hurt you. But it's so good. It's so well-produced that there was a montage of them going from Silverlake down Wilshire to go to the beach, and it made me tear up. Because I missed LA. And I was like, and there's all those stupid buildings on Wilshire Boulevard that are, like, straight up, objectively ugly, ugly buildings. And I was like, oh.
40:56 Connor Wood? I miss those. Fugly buildings.
40:59 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
40:59 Connor Wood? They're white and they're square. There's nothing to them. And I was like, oh my god. And they get the song playing? I love LA.
41:06 Brooke Averick? You know, I love that one.
41:06 Connor Wood? I know. And it was just so, it was, it was awesome. So I can't wait to watch more of this.
41:12 Brooke Averick? Looking forward to watching the first episode. I'm watching Girls for the first time.
41:15 Connor Wood? It's, it's like a Girls meets Entourage. And I don't, I would not throw that around lightly. Wait, Girls for the first time?
41:22 Brooke Averick? Kinda. I had seen the first two seasons a long time ago, and I feel like I was too young to connect with it. And so now I turned it on and just like first episode immediately, I'm like this, yeah, this is as good as everyone says it is.
41:33 Connor Wood? I'm sensing that there is gonna be a Lena Dunham-ification of Rachel Sinek, and that does scare me for her. Cause like everyone
41:42 Brooke Averick? She will look
41:43 Connor Wood? Love the show and then, yeah, they villainized Lena.
41:46 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
41:47 Connor Wood? And I, I'm, I hope that doesn't happen, but they had this issue with her and the
41:50 Brooke Averick? They'll villainize all, all brilliant women. Sorry, sometimes I can't say women singular and women plural differently and I
41:58 Connor Wood? Yeah, it's totally fine. Cause I know your heart.
42:01 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
42:02 Connor Wood? Um, but anyways, in the first episode, Lena goes, I'm the voice of a generation. And I remember people being like really upset, cause it was like, what? It's like, it's a character!
42:16 Brooke Averick? Yeah, people need help.
42:17 Connor Wood? Oh my gosh, in a huge way.
42:19 Brooke Averick? Like so, so massive. In an amazing way.
42:22 Connor Wood? I
42:24 Connor Wood? I have one more thought about something, and then I'm gonna hand it the baton to you. This one is just weighing on me heavy. The phrase, "life is a highway." What does that mean? Like it goes by fast and I'm texting?
42:37 Brooke Averick? No, I wanna ride it all night long.
42:42 Brooke Averick? Moves fast.
42:43 Connor Wood? Yeah.
42:43 Brooke Averick? Sometimes it might move slow when there's traffic.
42:46 Connor Wood? That is, that's not, that does, those aren't affiliated with like
42:50 Brooke Averick? Yeah, it does. The hard moments, like traffic, go by pretty slowly.
42:54 Connor Wood? What are exits in this metaphor?
42:56 Brooke Averick? Unfortunately, like, your death?
42:59 Connor Wood? Death? But exits lead you to your destination.
43:03 Brooke Averick? Well, remember we've spoken about like, maybe that is the destination, and that's really the life that we're, this is like the pregame.
43:09 Connor Wood? Well, the highway is like the worst part of the drive to me. I can't even have my windows down, it's too loud.
43:15 Brooke Averick? Some people love the highway.
43:16 Connor Wood? Huh?
43:17 Brooke Averick? Yeah, I don't.
43:19 Connor Wood? Does anyone here love the highway? How is the word?
43:23 Brooke Averick? Well, like, think about an open interstate. That could be hot.
43:27 Connor Wood? I don't like it. Too many lanes, too many people, too many-
43:30 Brooke Averick? Yeah, I agree.
43:31 Connor Wood? I don't even wanna be in the middle. I don't wanna be next to the middle part of the-
43:33 Brooke Averick? Do you wanna look up the lyrics to "Life is a Highway" and see, like, dissect it a little bit more?
43:39 Connor Wood? "Life is a highway, I wanna ride it." Mmm, yeah. Woo! "Life's like a road that you travel on."
43:47 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
43:47 Connor Wood? "When there's one day here and the next day gone." Okay. This is dark. Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand.
43:55 Brooke Averick? I don't-
43:55 Connor Wood? The fuck is this song? Nothing to do with the highway. "Sometimes you turn your back to the wind." You can, if you're in the car. "There's a world outside every darkened door." "Where blues won't haunt you anymore." "Where brave are free and lovers soar." Is this about dying? Is this whole song about death?
44:14 Brooke Averick? Come ride with me to the distant shore.
44:15 Connor Wood? It's the whole song's about death!
44:17 Brooke Averick? If you're going by, "Well, I wanna ride through these cities and all these towns." "It's in my blood and it's all around. I love you."
44:24 Connor Wood? Like, "I love you now."
44:25 Brooke Averick? "From Mozambique to those Memphis nights." That is a long ride.
44:29 Connor Wood? From Mozambique. So, we're gonna take the highway from Mozambique. Download Waze right now, because we're gonna have to download Waze and get from Mozambique to Memphis to Mexico.
44:37 Brooke Averick? I'm gonna take the toll-free route from Mozambique to Memphis.
44:40 Connor Wood? I'm personally gonna go from Khyber Pass to Vancouver.
44:42 Brooke Averick? Can I ask where the Khyber Pass is?
44:44 Connor Wood? No, not right now, 'cause knock me down, I'm back up again. You're in my blood, I'm not alone.
44:48 Brooke Averick? There's no load I can't hold.
44:51 Brooke Averick? Thank you.
44:55 Brooke Averick? Can we, like, let's look up the meaning of "Life is a Highway."
44:58 Connor Wood? Let's look up the meaning of "There's no load I can't hold."
45:03 Connor Wood? "Life is a Highway" is a metaphor that compares the journey of life to traveling on a highway, complete with its twists, its turns.
45:08 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
45:09 Connor Wood? Its upside downs. Guess what? Highway does not twist and turn, it's a straight line. It's-
45:13 Brooke Averick? Sometimes there's those loops, but I guess is that always an exit?
45:16 Connor Wood? If you're exiting. An ongoing journey, ups and downs, embracing the experience, resilience. I completely, this song has lost any ounce of significance to me now. Notoriety, gone.
45:31 Brooke Averick? There's-
45:31 Connor Wood? It's, this is an utter nothing burger.
45:34 Brooke Averick? It just went off track for most of the song, yeah. "We're all travelers on this long winding road." Then that should be like the backroads in the woods.
45:43 Connor Wood? Yeah. It should be like, my phone died and I'm going by-
45:49 Connor Wood? Memory or like I had to print off Google Maps to get to this place and now I'm going down these windy roads and life is not straight and then the path to success is not linear. That should be Rascal Flatts. Like what did you? This is music made for the masses that don't question anything. We are here taking, we are staying curious and we're asking questions.
46:12 Brooke Averick? Always.
46:13 Connor Wood? This is, that is so important.
46:14 Brooke Averick? That and that's one thing that's remained consistent about us through.
46:17 Connor Wood? Brooke, that felt really good to like come to that.
46:20 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
46:20 Connor Wood? And it took Rascal Flatts his song, but like that is something that we've always done.
46:23 Brooke Averick? I agree.
46:24 Connor Wood? We took something, we say, hang on. Let's look into this. Like, why have we all accepted this thing? The other thing related to the highway? People are always saying, don't reinvent the wheel. The wheel is old as time. There could be a better wheel and we've just accepted this existing wheel. What if we could make it more round? Or what if we would need a wheel that isn't even round at all? And it could be better.
46:47 Brooke Averick? Aren't there, but there are some people who are like, I want to reinvent the wheel.
46:51 Connor Wood? Are they?
46:51 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
46:52 Connor Wood? Yeah, that's probably, they probably.
46:53 Brooke Averick? There are two kinds of people. People that want to reinvent the wheel and people that don't.
46:57 Connor Wood? But there's a lot of people that don't want the person to reinvent.
47:00 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
47:00 Connor Wood? Because they're worried about.
47:01 Brooke Averick? They're afraid of change.
47:03 Connor Wood? Yeah.
47:03 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
47:04 Connor Wood? Oh my gosh, reinvent, everyone homework today, reinvent the wheel.
47:10 Brooke Averick? When's the last time you reinvented the wheel?
47:12 Connor Wood? I reinvent the wheel on accident almost every single day because I'm, my life is hard on, because of things that I make harder.
47:19 Brooke Averick? Yes. You do reinvent the wheel and you make it like, you turn a tire into a cinder block.
47:27 Connor Wood? I turn a tire into an exact Rubik's cube.
47:30 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
47:30 Connor Wood? That can't move.
47:31 Brooke Averick? Yeah, it's unsolvable.
47:32 Connor Wood? It's unsolvable and I'm twisting. That's life is a highway.
47:35 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
47:36 Connor Wood? It's a Rubik, life's a Rubik's cube. I'm twisting and turning. Where's the answer? And it's years and years and years.
47:48 Brooke Averick? That was amazing.
47:49 Connor Wood? Was it?
47:50 Brooke Averick? You, today is your day.
47:53 Connor Wood? Brooks is in love with me.
47:55 Brooke Averick? I am. Sing that again.
47:56 Connor Wood? I don't remember. I don't remember. I don't want to do it again.
47:59 Brooke Averick? Sing it again.
47:59 Connor Wood? She liked that version and I don't want to ruin it.
48:03 Brooke Averick? That was so pretty.
48:05 Connor Wood? There is no load I can't handle.
48:07 Brooke Averick? There is. They've always said that about you. Who? Ah, I love it, champion.
48:14 Connor Wood? That was great.
48:14 Brooke Averick? That was amazing.
48:15 Connor Wood? It's so nice to see you and have a good laugh.
48:17 Brooke Averick? It's nice to see me.
48:18 Connor Wood? It's so nice to see you.
48:20 Brooke Averick? It's so good to see me.
48:21 Connor Wood? Oh my gosh. Um, take the baton here from me. Pass the torch.
48:26 Brooke Averick? What else is there? I have a few. Well, Jonathan Bailey.
48:29 Connor Wood? Congratulations.
48:30 Brooke Averick? Thank you. Um, I mean, I honestly, Jesus Christ, like, yes. By the way, the ice cream truck that comes every episode and goes do, do, do, do, just came and blasted it. Blasted its load.
48:47 Brooke Averick? As soon as Jonathan Bailey's picture came up, and I agree, he is the sexiest man alive. And for that reason, I wasn't even expecting him to be the sexiest man alive because I feel like people is never like this on the pulse. It was like too obvious. It's so obvious that I wasn't even expecting.
49:03 Connor Wood? Am I making it up that?
49:04 Brooke Averick? He is the sexiest man alive.
49:06 Connor Wood? It came out that for a while, people were like paying for this title?
49:09 Brooke Averick? There's no way he paid for it.
49:10 Connor Wood? No, I know that he wouldn't because he's a stand up guy.
49:12 Brooke Averick? The most, can I be honest? Yes, he's the sexiest man alive on the outside. He's the sexiest soul in the world.
49:19 Connor Wood? Jesse McCartney wrote the song about him.
49:23 Brooke Averick? You and your sexy ass soul?
49:27 Brooke Averick? He, like, oh my God, like, yes. He, I look at him and I'm like, this is the hottest person I've ever seen. I look a little deeper. I'm, I'm connect, I can't explain the way I'm connect, I connect to him on a soul level. I see and I look at him, I see inside of him.
49:44 Connor Wood? Could he sit here on the podcast, you think? Or no, you couldn't do that?
49:48 Brooke Averick? I think that he would make me feel so safe and loved and beautiful and smart and cherished because of how sexy his soul is that I would feel okay.
50:04 Connor Wood? Jonathan Bailey.
50:05 Brooke Averick? Not only okay, amazing.
50:07 Connor Wood? Bring out Jonathan.
50:10 Brooke Averick? Saying that.
50:11 Connor Wood? Jonathan Bailey will be on this podcast.
50:14 Brooke Averick? He is the love of my, like, he is incredible. Like,
50:21 Brooke Averick? I love him so much. Look at him.
50:25 Connor Wood? Yeah, that's, that was a good choice. That was a good choice. He deserves.
50:28 Brooke Averick? I, and you know that I, there, I have so many crushes. He is the sexiest man alive.
50:35 Connor Wood? Look, not, like, there's not even one person that's like, what?
50:38 Brooke Averick? No, there, there has never been a remotely negative word about Jonathan Bailey.
50:43 Connor Wood? I am so glad I didn't win people's sexiest TikToker. Because if it, with one person was like, what the fuck? I'd be like, oh, I have to kill myself soon.
50:52 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
50:53 Connor Wood? Today.
50:54 Brooke Averick? Did you not win a few years ago?
50:56 Connor Wood? No, it was last year and I didn't win.
50:57 Brooke Averick? Oh, well, what an honor just to be nominated.
51:00 Connor Wood? True. Henry, Henry, Henry won this year.
51:02 Brooke Averick? Yes. Congrats to him.
51:05 Connor Wood? Deserved. Another deserved win.
51:07 Brooke Averick? A very sexy guy.
51:08 Connor Wood? Another W for Henry, Henry, Henry. And, and, and.
51:10 Brooke Averick? Sexy man and his bags.
51:15 Connor Wood? So true.
51:17 Brooke Averick? Anyway, like, there's really nothing to say about, nothing much more to say about Jonathan Bailey, except for he is sexy in mind and body and soul. And, and it's so amazing.
51:27 Connor Wood? Yeah. And that was, again, it's just like, that's a good, I bet that's going to boost people's sales and interest in people.
51:34 Brooke Averick? Yeah, I, I actually, this is the only time I've been like, I'm going to walk out of my house and go to a magazine store and buy a magazine. Because that's how deeply I want Jonathan Bailey.
51:45 Connor Wood? This is real journalism.
51:46 Brooke Averick? This is journalism.
51:47 Connor Wood? Yeah.
51:47 Brooke Averick? They, people had a huge win here.
51:51 Brooke Averick? And congratulations on being the first gay, out gay sexiest man. A man who appreciates a sexy man, he said on Jimmy Fallon. And then Jimmy Fallon laughed really awkwardly and continued. And I feel, I felt like that moment needed to actually be acknowledged and celebrated. So I just want to flag congratulations to the sexiest man alive who appreciates a sexy man.
52:10 Connor Wood? Yeah.
52:12 Brooke Averick? Thanks.
52:14 Connor Wood? Yes.
52:15 Brooke Averick? Yes.
52:15 Connor Wood? Um, and also Jimmy Fallon's never not laughed awkwardly. I don't think he has a normal one.
52:19 Brooke Averick? I don't want to say anything negative about anyone ever.
52:23 Connor Wood? No.
52:23 Brooke Averick? And I think Jimmy Fallon is awesome in so many ways.
52:28 Connor Wood? Me too.
52:30 Connor Wood? Loving the death.
52:31 Brooke Averick? But sometimes just being a talk show host might not be the.
52:34 Connor Wood? Well, it's just like, like, uh, if you're recording yourself every single night, there are going to be things that people don't like about you. What?
52:41 Brooke Averick? Oh, sorry. I'm talking to Jimmy, like about Jimmy.
52:43 Connor Wood? What are you gonna say?
52:44 Brooke Averick? No, I was saying Jimmy, you've gotta like engage in conversation almost. Does that make sense?
52:49 Connor Wood? Probably so tired.
52:51 Brooke Averick? I mean, I can imagine being drained, but I do think as a talk show, you've gotta kind of have conversation. That's all I'll say.
53:00 Connor Wood? It's a ba- it's a.
53:01 Brooke Averick? That's all I'll say.
53:01 Connor Wood? Dialogue back and forth.
53:02 Brooke Averick? Yes, it's important to have dialogue.
53:04 Connor Wood? You know who's so good at it? And Saul Hanks was on Seth the other day.
53:08 Brooke Averick? That is amazing.
53:09 Connor Wood? Did you see they made the TikTok that he always makes? The Gracie Abrams song?
53:14 Brooke Averick? What you gonna hurt you off?
53:15 Connor Wood? And Hank took his shirt off in the dressing room?
53:17 Brooke Averick? Yeah, and then panned back to Seth, just being hysterical and amazing.
53:21 Connor Wood? I was in that dressing room with Meredith, Wish Fun Kitchen, and when he came in. He didn't look at me or anything, which is totally cool.
53:27 Brooke Averick? He's the greatest.
53:29 Connor Wood? You know what's weird is that studio space, there's Seth right here, and then the SNL stage is to the left. It's like they're right next to each other. That's fascinating to me. Um, I was in Boston last week, you know, there we go.
53:42 Brooke Averick? I commented on it.
53:43 Connor Wood? There's no way.
53:45 Connor Wood? Um,
53:47 Connor Wood? I was in Boston.
53:48 Brooke Averick? Yeah, you were in Boston. How was it?
53:50 Connor Wood? It was, uh, like, I'm, I know you don't like Boston. I adore this little city.
53:56 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
53:57 Connor Wood? And I mean little city with my chest.
53:59 Brooke Averick? It is tiny.
54:00 Connor Wood? I walked the whole thing on foot before the first show. It was a great show. It was amazing shows even.
54:06 Brooke Averick? Amazing.
54:06 Connor Wood? And everyone came dressed up.
54:08 Brooke Averick? Love.
54:09 Connor Wood? Two young people came dressed as, one person came as Mark from Nordstrom and, um, the other person came as Ray from Framebridge. I really have to say quickly that like,
54:20 Connor Wood? I had a five minute interaction with Ray. I have not seen him since in the face. Dressed up as him for Halloween, like in Boston.
54:25 Brooke Averick? He's touched so many lives.
54:26 Connor Wood? Truly, the way, he's a household name. Dressed up as him in Boston.
54:32 Brooke Averick? That was so amazing.
54:34 Connor Wood? It was so amazing. People were dressed like to the nines. It was amazing. There were a lot of Jonathan's like.
54:38 Brooke Averick? That made my heart, my extremely fat heart, so incredibly happy.
54:43 Connor Wood? Which one?
54:44 Brooke Averick? To see people dress as my cats.
54:46 Connor Wood? Yeah, there was like, there was a lot of trios that were like Max, Jonathan and Rob.
54:50 Brooke Averick? That's so sweet.
54:52 Connor Wood? It was so sweet. I was just like looking around this. And then one young woman came in as a, as a naked cat. And that was hard. That was, that was.
54:59 Brooke Averick? What was she wearing?
55:00 Connor Wood? That was hard for me as a performer, wearing a leotard, flash colored leotard, prosthetics on her face.
55:06 Brooke Averick? Hey, talk about imagine the crowd naked.
55:09 Connor Wood? Tell you what, I don't, I would not like it. I prefer them clothed.
55:14 Brooke Averick? Yeah, I got, no, I would've always said that.
55:15 Connor Wood? Imagine a naked crowd, just like genitalia everywhere, all over the chairs.
55:21 Brooke Averick? Right. No one wants that.
55:22 Connor Wood? No.
55:25 Brooke Averick? Speaking of Jonathan Bailey.
55:27 Connor Wood? Yeah.
55:27 Brooke Averick? If I may.
55:28 Connor Wood? Yeah.
55:29 Brooke Averick? You know, he plays Fierro.
55:30 Connor Wood? Of course.
55:31 Brooke Averick? In Wicked. The man currently playing Fierro on Broadway, ran the New York City Marathon. How many miles is that?
55:39 Connor Wood? Twenty six point two.
55:40 Brooke Averick? He ran twenty six point two miles, hugged his wife, ran to the theater. And went out on stage as Fierro that night.
55:52 Connor Wood? He has one, he has one big tooth.
55:54 Brooke Averick? Do you understand how? I don't think I, like, I can't grasp how hard it is to run a marathon because I can't walk a mile. So I'm just trying to like imagine that. And then, do you know how emotionally and physically draining it is to perform? How?
56:10 Connor Wood? Yes.
56:10 Brooke Averick? Like, how is it possible, speaking of like, how, why is not everyone hot? How is it possible that some people can't even walk a mile and some people can run twenty six and then Fierro?
56:21 Connor Wood? This is one of those things where it's like, okay, I just simply don't get it, you know, type thing. Cause I'm like, why is everyone crying? But then I'm like, I don't know. Cause I'd be like, I can't put myself in your hokas because I've never.
56:33 Brooke Averick? It, cause it's a feat of the human body.
56:36 Connor Wood? I I know, but like I run a lot and I'm like, I just don't, I'm not there. I can't wait to experience with their, with that feeling. Cause like I, I want to, I just like, I'm looking at it. I'm like, okay.
56:47 Brooke Averick? Hopefully one day, if you run a marathon, you cross the finish line, you feel everything in your body. You feel the 26 miles you just ran. And then you can put yourself in a position to imagine like, what if I had to go be Fierro right now?
57:00 Connor Wood? Right. Um, no, I'm gonna have a hundred beers if I drink, if I, if I run the New York Marathon.
57:06 Brooke Averick? Like, how can you even walk?
57:07 Connor Wood? Everyone that did it. I'm saying like, I genuinely like had not, I don't know what that experience is like. So from looking from the outside in. I'm confused. I also am bummed I didn't get, I didn't make it back for that day in the city, which I also think like, maybe being there, I would be able to like feel the emotions.
57:22 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
57:23 Connor Wood? But so far, I'm just, it's something to look forward to. Next year, I hope.
57:29 Connor Wood? I do have to start training to right now.
57:31 Brooke Averick? Yeah, I think I would, if you ran the New York City Marathon, I would fly in for that.
57:35 Connor Wood? Really? Oh my gosh. Okay. Um, put it in your calendar. That's a good challenge. It's so nice to like, it's so nice to work towards something like that.
57:43 Brooke Averick? Nice to work towards something. Like when, what are you saving for via Rocket Money? Like, saving for your New York City money.
57:50 Connor Wood? If I lose my glasses, I'm telling you guys, I think I'm, we have to, I'm, I'm gonna, I'm going to go to jail. I'm going to turn myself in for a crime I didn't commit. Cause it's just like, these ones need to stay with me for the rest of my life.
58:04 Brooke Averick? I need to get new glasses and contacts.
58:07 Connor Wood? Um.
58:08 Brooke Averick? Um, I was at an event last night.
58:10 Connor Wood? Yeah.
58:10 Brooke Averick? Season three to Brittany and Royal Court. What an incredible feat. Um, and she had like a very like, uh, royal themed event and there was a magician slash wizard.
58:23 Connor Wood? Yeah.
58:24 Brooke Averick? And he did a magic trick where he was like, I'm gonna like induct you into this society, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Like to be inducted into a society, like you need a, like a mark. So he had me like close my fists. And then he was like, okay, which pick a fist. And I was like left and he's like, okay, great. Open it. And there was an X on my hand. My, and my fists were closed.
58:47 Brooke Averick? So I was like, how, how did you put that there? Put that thing back where it came from, so help me?
58:52 Connor Wood? So help me.
58:54 Brooke Averick? So I thought a lot about it. I think he might have touched me, like before he started, like this whole thing. Before I closed my fist, I think there might have been, he might have touched my hand. That's fine, okay? But let's say he touched me and like there was some sort of transference of this Sharpie or stamp, whatever it is. How would he have known my fists were both closed when he said, pick a hand? So how would he have known to put it on my left? Riddle me that.
59:25 Connor Wood? Women's intuition. I don't know.
59:27 Brooke Averick? That, like, to me, this is like magic does exist. My fists, like, I, they were shut.
59:36 Connor Wood? I don't know.
59:37 Brooke Averick? And then, the next thing he did-
59:39 Connor Wood? No one could, no one told you?
59:40 Brooke Averick? No one could tell me, because I posted on my story, like, can someone explain this?
59:43 Connor Wood? You posted it.
59:44 Brooke Averick? And someone was like, it's a stamp. And I was like, okay, I can see a world in which he, like, touched me before.
59:48 Connor Wood? Yeah.
59:49 Brooke Averick? I cannot see a world, I am positive both of my hands were closed when I said left.
59:53 Connor Wood? This is something that I can't get involved with.
59:57 Brooke Averick? So, oh, here's Reddit.
59:58 Connor Wood? Oh, no.
59:58 Brooke Averick? But like, I almost don't even want to know.
1:00:00 Connor Wood? Magician somehow wrote on my hand. If someone can tell me how, I'm losing my mind.
1:00:03 Brooke Averick? Pull out a highlighter and take the cap off while-
1:00:06 Connor Wood? I do it all the time with a highlighter.
1:00:08 Brooke Averick? While motioning to your audience about the highlighter in your hand while doing said motions, mark your finger up. Mark your fingertip. The motioning masks-
1:00:17 Connor Wood? Did he lower your hand so that you could see better, like, at any point move?
1:00:21 Brooke Averick? Ask a member of their audience to put both palms face down in front of you, and you grabbing their hands to lower them to some different, yeah, he did lower my hands to a different altitude, so we can all see better, is where the secret marking takes place that person forgets about, because after your mark, you want to back off with body language to make them forget, with more showmanship that you ever touched them. But how did he know to put it on my left hand? Can I ask that? How do you do it with Sharpie? Even if it's a Sharpie highlighter?
1:00:43 Connor Wood? You know what I bet it was? You know what I bet it was?
1:00:46 Brooke Averick? What?
1:00:47 Connor Wood? I bet it was like, if he guessed the right one, the, it's over. If he guessed the wrong one, he probably would have changed his, like, final, yeah.
1:00:58 Brooke Averick? What would he, what could he have changed to do?
1:01:00 Connor Wood? Right, like, I told you, I couldn't do that joke. Anyways, check your left hand. And he would have, it would have been on there, that's probably-
1:01:08 Brooke Averick? Okay, well then explain this one to me.
1:01:09 Connor Wood? Okay.
1:01:11 Brooke Averick? He had me and Channing stand across from each other. Eyes closed. Everyone is watching.
1:01:18 Connor Wood? You guys are always doing that anyways.
1:01:21 Brooke Averick? He says, "Tell me how many taps you feel on your body." "I felt three taps." I say, "Three." Channing says, "Three." Everyone's like, "Holy shit, holy shit." I'm like, "What? What's going on?" Because my eyes are closed. Then he says, "Okay, I'm gonna tap you, "and I want you to point to where on your body I tapped you." I point to my nose. I assume Channing points to her nose because everyone's like, "Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit." We open our eyes. He goes, "I had, this whole time, I was only touching one of you." So he had established a Bluetooth link between Channing and I. It's actually me and Channing. Grammatically, thank you.
1:01:57 Connor Wood? Mm-hmm.
1:01:57 Brooke Averick? And
1:02:00 Brooke Averick? he was only touching me, but Channing felt the exact amount of touches on her body in the same spot? Both times.
1:02:07 Connor Wood? That's bizarre. I don't know that one. No, I can't. Twins.
1:02:10 Brooke Averick? Can we look that one up, Izzy? How would you, would you think you would, what do you think you would Google? Bluetooth link? Between two people, magic trick? It was freaking ridiculous. I also, like, if I could manifest like my perfect man in the bonus section of like, I would do magician. Just by the way.
1:02:30 Connor Wood? Magicians are-
1:02:31 Brooke Averick? I think that's like the most talented you can be.
1:02:33 Connor Wood? Magicians are so much fun to bring to a party, like to hire a magician for a party. The thing about most magicians, and I'm so sorry to the magician community, you linger a little bit too much. Like, you know when the joke is over and kind of, "Go have a drink or something." The magicians I've been around in my lifetime at parties, they are very much like, overstaying a little bit.
1:02:54 Brooke Averick? Oh, I want them to overstay as long as possible.
1:02:56 Connor Wood? No, no, no. It like gets to a point where it's like, "Okay, like that's, that was fun." I don't know. The magicians I've met are definitely lingerers.
1:03:03 Brooke Averick? You would have liked Scott. Okay. "The answer lies in NLP, neuro-linguistic programming. It's a method which you could change behavior through words. By using certain words or rephrasing words, you can manipulate the action of a person, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah."
1:03:17 Connor Wood? Well, this is not gonna get us anywhere, I fear.
1:03:19 Brooke Averick? How did Channing feel that?
1:03:22 Connor Wood? This is not gonna, we need to-
1:03:24 Brooke Averick? To make you feel like you're being touched, the magician will ask for your consent and state that you are not going to be touched directly, which would make you feel comfortable, positive affirmation. Then you're told, without any context, he can cause a feeling of being touched by simply touching his or her own body. He, she, said he can do it with anyone in the audience, which made you uncomfortable, especially if you're forming in a large crowd.
1:03:43 Connor Wood? Brooke, we gotta-
1:03:43 Brooke Averick? Wait, what?
1:03:44 Connor Wood? We gotta wrap this one up.
1:03:47 Connor Wood? We gotta wrap this one up. This is not making any sense.
1:03:49 Brooke Averick? After rustling around and having his slash her way with you-
1:03:52 Connor Wood? Okay, we gotta wrap this one up.
1:03:54 Brooke Averick? I don't understand.
1:03:55 Connor Wood? I gotta talk to you about, I gotta talk to you about pastrami in the bonus.
1:03:59 Brooke Averick? Cause then double that, that doesn't- Can we watch this video in the bonus?

Um, I'm just really excited, I'm just gonna put my hand over the address. I'm really excited to be diving into this in the bonus, and you go pee, girl.
