That's why State Farm takes the time to get to know you, so they can help personalize coverage for your life and budget. Now that's a solid game plan. Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.

The thinkers and the doers. For old friends and new. Coca-Cola. For everyone. Pick up some Coca-Cola at a store near you.
1:06 Connor Wood? Okay, well, I met some young women the other day when I was at my friend's birthday, and they came up to me and they go, "You've been talking to us." And I go, "Pardon?" They go, "You've been talking to us." Now, I've been DMing Royal Otis a lot on Instagram.
1:19 Brooke Averick? No. Don't tell me.
1:22 Connor Wood? I didn't realize I'd been DMing two young women a lot on Instagram because they are running the Royal Otis account. So, thank you, thank you too. Thank you to my chosen family, those two women that are running the Royal Otis account.
1:33 Brooke Averick? I had the impression I was speaking to Otis.
1:36 Connor Wood? I was, or Royal. I don't, I didn't really care. One of the two young men, I wouldn't really care.
1:45 Brooke Averick? Well, I thought I was talking to Otis, so.
1:47 Connor Wood? Oh, my God.
1:48 Brooke Averick? What?
2:07 Connor Wood? When's the last time I recorded in this part of my home?
2:12 Connor Wood? Oh my god.
2:13 Brooke Averick? I don't know. Why? What are you seeing?
2:19 Connor Wood? I think this is my banana.
2:20 Brooke Averick? Ew, ew Connor, ew. No, that's not okay. No, absolutely not. No Connor. No, put it down. Down, boy. Wait, was it-
2:32 Connor Wood? Where did it go?
2:35 Brooke Averick? Was it just the peel or a full banana?
2:37 Connor Wood? No, no, no, no. I mean-
2:41 Brooke Averick? That is a Peruvian puff pepper.
2:45 Connor Wood? I'd like to propose a toast. Um, hang on.
2:49 Brooke Averick? Do not peel it.
2:50 Connor Wood? Like, this is- No, I'm not gonna- there's nothing to peel. I'm not kidding, it's-
2:54 Brooke Averick? Skin?
2:54 Connor Wood? It's a completely dehydrated banana.
2:56 Brooke Averick? Was it just the skin or was there a banana inside?
2:59 Connor Wood? No, there was a banana in this.
3:02 Brooke Averick? Whoa.
3:03 Connor Wood? Like, call me crazy, but I don't really understand where-
3:05 Brooke Averick? That is jet black.
3:06 Connor Wood? Yeah, I can't even look. Where is it?
3:09 Brooke Averick? I've never seen a food of any kind turn that shade of midnight sky.
3:20 Brooke Averick? Did you-
3:22 Connor Wood? Hello? 911, want your emergency?
3:26 Connor Wood? You lost your banana?
3:27 Brooke Averick? I don't want you to put it that close to your face.
3:30 Connor Wood? Oh.
3:32 Connor Wood? Oh wow, that smells something like I've never experienced. I think it fermented a bit.
3:37 Brooke Averick? Fermented?
3:38 Connor Wood? Ew. Um, well that's a testament to how clean my home is. There's-
3:43 Brooke Averick? Wow.
3:43 Connor Wood? There's no- I mean, there's not a fruit fly in sight.
3:46 Brooke Averick? That took my breath away.
3:47 Connor Wood? Anyway, now that we got that out of the way. Hey Brooke.
3:51 Brooke Averick? Hi Connor.
3:52 Connor Wood? Welcome back to Brooke and Connor Make a Podcast, you little thing.
3:55 Brooke Averick? Ooh, I'm still thinking about that banana.
3:58 Connor Wood? I know, I'm looking at it, so-
4:00 Brooke Averick? It's giving me the same feeling in my stomach that Chapel Run's red carpet dress gave me.
4:07 Connor Wood? At the Grammys?
4:08 Brooke Averick? Yeah. Like, ow. You know what I mean?
4:12 Connor Wood? The banana's giving you the same feeling as, as like a satin dress dangling from her nips?
4:18 Brooke Averick? Yes, like, ow. Like, ooh, like, crin- like, cringe, like my body hur- like, it's like hurting me.
4:28 Connor Wood? I was just kind of thinking like, not that like a dress is weighing a ton on your shoulders, but I was like, how nice to take the weight off your shoulders for a moment and put it-
4:35 Brooke Averick? Those are her boobs.
4:36 Connor Wood? Right, of course.
4:37 Brooke Averick? Or those are her nips.
4:40 Brooke Averick? But, yeah. But it's just like making me wince, I guess.
4:46 Brooke Averick? For different reasons.
4:47 Connor Wood? What are some other things you could hang from your nipples? I'm thinking like, if you only wanted to make one trip from the car after you've gone to the grocery store, how nice would it be? If your nipples were able to, if your nipples were up for the challenge, it would be really nice to just carabiner some bags on the one tit.
5:01 Brooke Averick? Honestly, it's not a bad idea to have a harness that has like multiple clips for like five bags. And you can just attach them to your body. Whoa, why has no one done that?
5:12 Connor Wood? I think it's a vest. They have that as a vest.
5:14 Brooke Averick? Yeah. Izzy, would you mind looking up bag carrying vest?
5:23 Brooke Averick? Yeah. I hate that that happens, when this happens.
5:29 Connor Wood? You hate when what happens?
5:31 Brooke Averick? Honestly, they don't really have what I'm talking about. When I invent something and it exists.
5:37 Connor Wood? Oh.
5:37 Brooke Averick? No, they don't, oh, that. No, I'm talking about-
5:41 Connor Wood? You can, like, add carabiner to this.
5:44 Brooke Averick? I'm talking about vests with carabiners.
5:51 Connor Wood? Oh, this has gotten very sexual.
5:53 Brooke Averick? Yeah, I'm talking about-
5:53 Connor Wood? Pretty quickly.
5:55 Brooke Averick? Something different, so.
5:58 Connor Wood? Brooke wearing a full leather head-to-toe fit, going to the grocery store. Sorry, it's just to make it, it's just for ease of carrying the-
6:04 Brooke Averick? Sorry, it's my carabiner vest.
6:07 Connor Wood? I'm not really into anything crazy, it's just, it just happened to be leather, but it's for carrying all my bags.
6:11 Brooke Averick? Yeah. Anyway, that's something to think about.
6:16 Connor Wood? We touched on jugs earlier in this podcast. What did we talk about when it was hands-free jugs? Remember, when, I think we were, oh.
6:27 Brooke Averick? We've definitely spoken about jugs, I don't remember what we were saying.
6:30 Connor Wood? When was the last time you interviewed for something?
6:34 Brooke Averick? The last time I, do you mean like for, to get a position? Or like, I was interviewed by like a media outlet?
6:41 Connor Wood? No, no, not a media outlet. Yeah, like you're trying to impress someone via your skills. It maybe doesn't have to be for a job, but more so just like in general.
6:54 Brooke Averick? What is an example of that that wouldn't be interviewing for a job?
6:57 Connor Wood? Like your-
6:58 Brooke Averick? Like a date?
7:00 Connor Wood? Hmm, no, not a date.
7:02 Brooke Averick? My apartment, my apartment, I just like met my landlord when she was giving me a tour. So I wouldn't say that was an interview.
7:09 Connor Wood? No, okay.
7:10 Brooke Averick? I think when I bought, when I last applied for a teaching job.
7:14 Connor Wood? Oh, it's been a while. Did you get to sit down and do an interview and like crush it?
7:17 Brooke Averick? Absolutely not.
7:20 Connor Wood? Oh.
7:21 Brooke Averick? For what?
7:22 Connor Wood? I don't know. I had to interview for my apartment.
7:24 Brooke Averick? You did? What kind of questions did they ask you?
7:27 Connor Wood? Like what's your, like what are your hobbies? What do you like to do?
7:31 Brooke Averick? Why do they care?
7:33 Connor Wood? I think they're just trying to get a read. And obviously I lied my butt and cheeks off.
7:37 Brooke Averick? Yeah. What did you say?
7:39 Connor Wood? I was like, I love to swim. I don't know why swimming game I, like I do love-
7:43 Brooke Averick? You do?
7:44 Connor Wood? Of course, every, everyone loves to swim. I don't think that that's like a unique thing to me. But I do think that like, that being top of mind for me does, does let the receiver know like, this young man loves human, basic
8:02 Connor Wood? activity, like that's like a base level activity.
8:04 Brooke Averick? Primal.
8:04 Connor Wood? Yeah, like a primal activity, like a, like an, like an ancestral, um, almost instinctual activity, swimming. And I didn't, there's no bells, there's no whistles, okay? So leave every bell and whistle you thought you had about swimming at the dough. Okay?
8:18 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
8:18 Connor Wood? I'm talking for the love of the game, bobbing around like an apple.
8:24 Brooke Averick? Perfect.
8:25 Connor Wood? Treading water, sure. Diving underneath, opening my eyes. It doesn't matter the medium of the, of the body of water. It could be chlorine, it could be salt water, it could be fresh.
8:35 Brooke Averick? Have you ever taken a lifeguarding course?
8:38 Connor Wood? I have, yeah.
8:39 Brooke Averick? Have you, how long did you have to tread water for?
8:42 Connor Wood? I don't remember. I think it was like five minutes.
8:44 Brooke Averick? Yeah, I think we had to do 10.
8:46 Connor Wood? One of, yeah, one of my friends did it and like we thought he was joking and he like went underwater and he was being FR. And he was underwater in a big way. He cramped, which is like a scary thing. You can cramp. You can totally cramp.
9:00 Brooke Averick? I'm so good at floating on my back that it's like I'm safer in water than I am in land. I'm better at floating on my back than I am standing on my legs.
9:10 Connor Wood? How often are you floating in water? Tell me.
9:13 Brooke Averick? Pretty damn often, Connor.
9:15 Connor Wood? Okay, so when you're floating in water and you turn onto your back.
9:19 Brooke Averick? It's like a ball.
9:21 Connor Wood? Okay, this is me, you're being interviewed.
9:23 Brooke Averick? I am the most buoyant person, you know.
9:25 Connor Wood? Okay, cool. This, like, right now you're nailing the interview. The interview is for the position of tadpole.
9:31 Brooke Averick? Nice.
9:33 Brooke Averick? You know I was a whale in, in my swimming group in camp? Can't get higher than the whales, baby. Cannot get higher than the whales.
9:42 Connor Wood? Pardon?
9:43 Brooke Averick? I was a whale in my swimming group. Looking, like, out of all the levels at camp, I was a whale.
9:49 Connor Wood? Okay, I see.
9:50 Brooke Averick? Not a lot of kids make it to the whales.
9:52 Connor Wood? No, they don't.
9:53 Brooke Averick? You know why I made it to the whales?
9:56 Connor Wood? Why?
9:57 Brooke Averick? Because of my performance on my back.
10:01 Connor Wood? So you have a way with words, young, like, young, young, young hussy.
10:04 Brooke Averick? Thank you. Do not call me young hussy.
10:06 Connor Wood? We have, we have one, one young hussy in the studio. We're joined today with one young hussy. She is great on her back and she is a whale. No, I know.
10:16 Brooke Averick? That's mean.
10:17 Connor Wood? Sorry, she was a whale. So.
10:19 Brooke Averick? I was a whale.
10:20 Connor Wood? Do you remember when? We did that, like, All American Rejects. We watched the music video. In, in the video, it's like. I hate fat people, even though my mom is a whale. It was like, you wrote that down and they put your face in that music for a young man. I hope, I really hope he, I, I hope that came back around, like these 15 minutes of fame. Like, I don't know if he found his 15 minutes within the All American Rejects, I'll Keep You My Dirty Little Secret music video. Like, I don't know if he found what he was looking for. I sure hope that wasn't reflective of something that happened to him, like a lived experience. I really hope that was just like, they were handing out the cards at random and he happened to draw that.
10:58 Brooke Averick? No, I think that was his.
11:00 Connor Wood? That's true, that's truly his darkness in his heart. Like, that is someone, that's like watch list vibes.
11:05 Brooke Averick? Yeah, I think that was his and I think his 15 minutes of fame lingered longer than 15. Like, once you hold up a card that says my mom is a whale, like, that will linger in your life.
11:14 Connor Wood? I hope it did. Like, I hope that he had to answer to that.
11:17 Brooke Averick? You deserved it.
11:19 Connor Wood? Did you see the movie The Whale?
11:21 Brooke Averick? No.
11:23 Connor Wood? Did I tell you about my experience watching The Whale?
11:24 Brooke Averick? Sobbing on the plane.
11:26 Connor Wood? Yeah, and then I switched it over to, um, not The Holdovers, Mr. Whatever with Tom Hanks.
11:33 Brooke Averick? Oh, A Man Called Ove, but Otto, right?
11:36 Connor Wood? A man called Otto Ove?
11:38 Brooke Averick? Ove is the book.
11:40 Connor Wood? Oh, you know, one thing about me.
11:44 Brooke Averick? Not a, not a read, not a big reader.
11:46 Connor Wood? No.
11:47 Brooke Averick? I do want to discuss something with you.
11:49 Connor Wood? Wait, are we getting into our book that we talked about last week?
11:52 Brooke Averick? I was kind of gonna mention that, because I, I changed my mind and I wanted to explain.
11:58 Connor Wood? No, you can't change your mind. I was getting really hyped up.
12:00 Brooke Averick? Well, let me pitch you something.
12:02 Connor Wood? Okay.
12:03 Brooke Averick? For those of you that don't know, in the bonus a few weeks ago, Connor and I decided to do a book club and we were gonna read Morning Glory Milking Farm, which is a minotaur romance.
12:15 Connor Wood? I think it was just The Milking Farm.
12:17 Brooke Averick? I think it's Morning Glory, baby.
12:19 Connor Wood? I think that was what, is it, are you right?
12:21 Brooke Averick? Yes.
12:22 Connor Wood? Morning Glory Milking Farm. Okay, so, so if you're wondering like, what could this book be about? It's really just in the title.
12:30 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
12:30 Connor Wood? Um, and every innuendo that you think that they could be making that, they are. Like, it's pretty much laid out for you.
12:37 Connor Wood? They're jacking off the minotaur.
12:38 Brooke Averick? They, 158%. I was gonna pitch, what about Jane Eyre?
12:47 Connor Wood? Uh, what about Jane Eyre?
12:48 Brooke Averick? What if we did that?
12:49 Connor Wood? Is that a Dyson product? I don't know what?
12:52 Brooke Averick? No, it's like a classic.
12:55 Connor Wood? Okay.
12:56 Brooke Averick? Like an old Bronte classic.
12:59 Connor Wood? See, like, we had like a really fun thing going.
13:02 Brooke Averick? I'll do Milking Farm. I'll do Milking Farm.
13:03 Connor Wood? We like met in the mid-
13:04 Brooke Averick? I'll do Milking Farm. I'll do Milking.
13:06 Connor Wood? This- This looks really, really, truly like I'm gonna change my major if this is a required read.
13:14 Brooke Averick? I will do Milking Farm. I just, I saw Wuthering Heights and I made it, I added to my New Year's resolution, read a classic, so, which I don't like want to do it, but like I'm going to. And I thought it would be less painful if you did it with me, but I'll do-
13:28 Connor Wood? I'm down, I'm down to read a classic. Like, it's confusing how they characterize books as classics. Like, I'll read 1984 with you.
13:35 Brooke Averick? No, I mean like one of these that is gonna test my limits.
13:40 Connor Wood? There is a reason why all of these authors killed themselves. These books are snooze fest.
13:44 Brooke Averick? I don't think any of the, I don't think the Bronte sisters did that.
13:48 Connor Wood? They, but they, then they put their heads-
13:49 Brooke Averick? No, you're thinking about Sylvia Plath. I would like to read The Bell Jar as well. That I think I'll actually like.
13:54 Connor Wood? Yeah, I mean, like, I guess I watched Love Island UK and they all, that's a good show. Sorry, I'm not meaning to like-
14:02 Brooke Averick? Where was the connection?
14:03 Connor Wood? They all killed themselves on that show, like-
14:05 Brooke Averick? Oh, I didn't know that. I didn't know that.
14:08 Connor Wood? Yeah. And I found that out as I was watching that season and it did ruin it for me, which is no surprise. But like knowing that Sylvia Plath did, did go via oven.
14:23 Connor Wood? Like, I think going into it, I'd be like, oh, this is interesting. It's kind of like, you know when like an artist dies and it's like, what's that saying about when an artist dies and you start to appreciate their work more?
14:33 Brooke Averick? I know. I don't know if there's a saying, but that, it's just a thing. Like appreciated postmortem.
14:40 Connor Wood? Yeah, it's like, why don't, how about, how about we appreciate it while we're here? Cause I would, you know? That's almost worth like faking your death for and seeing like what people do with it.
14:49 Brooke Averick? That's my favorite episode of Friends, is when Ross throws himself at a memorial service.
14:54 Connor Wood? Yeah.
14:55 Brooke Averick? Have you seen that?
14:58 Connor Wood? Yes, of course. No, I haven't. I'm sorry. I don't know why I lied.
15:01 Brooke Averick? It's okay. But, okay, we'll do Morning Glory Milking Farm.
15:06 Connor Wood? I think we do this, this is baseline. Let me grease my wheels a little bit.
15:10 Brooke Averick? Okay. I don't, you're not gonna, I don't think you're gonna love it.
15:15 Connor Wood? The thing is, I don't think you're gonna love it. So I really feel like we're meeting in the middle here.
15:19 Brooke Averick? Look.
15:19 Connor Wood? It's not like-
15:20 Brooke Averick? I could see, see, this is, no, I can't. I was gonna try to convince myself that I could see, like, liking him. I can't get on board with the Minotaur. I can't.
15:31 Connor Wood? Look, there's been many that, okay.
15:33 Brooke Averick? And I can't read-
15:34 Connor Wood? That visual is like, that visual is not my favorite because she's clearly, she's filled the jar up with some, something and she's, she has gloves on, which,
15:44 Connor Wood? the thing is, I can't-
15:45 Brooke Averick? You, we will be tested.
15:48 Connor Wood? Yeah.
15:48 Brooke Averick? But you know Luke of, of Book Talk Reddit as a social experiment?
15:53 Connor Wood? There in the middle?
15:54 Brooke Averick? Yeah, the one from the tractor.
15:56 Connor Wood? Yeah, he just came across my desk last week and he followed me. So I followed him back.
15:59 Brooke Averick? Yeah. Oh, that's great.
16:01 Connor Wood? Oh, he's, he's read this book?
16:02 Brooke Averick? He has, he read it as like, he was like, I will do this, but like, I won't like it. He really liked it.
16:09 Connor Wood? Go figure. Sometimes you, sometimes the milking farm is where you least expect it. Sometimes the milking farm is right under your nose.
16:15 Brooke Averick? Exactly. Sometimes the milking farm is what you find along the way. I'm really nervous.
16:21 Connor Wood? Wow. I'm excited.
16:24 Brooke Averick? When do we start?
16:26 Connor Wood? I gotta get the book. I keep forgetting to get it.
16:28 Brooke Averick? I have it. I bought it for you. You'll get it next week.
16:30 Connor Wood? I have, I have a copy there?
16:32 Brooke Averick? Yeah, I got it. Is he, oh, is he on for us? Can I just see Izzy and just open to a page and kind of see what type of content we'll be working with?
16:42 Connor Wood? Yes.
16:42 Brooke Averick? Yeah, when I get it. Oh, great. No worries. Yeah. Um, okay. So Morning Glory Milking Farm it is. And if you'd like to join our book club, we'll be doing that in bonus, starting-
16:52 Connor Wood? Can we click that?
16:53 Brooke Averick? Later.
16:54 Connor Wood? That bottom, I'm sorry. That bottom right image, and maybe this is a passage-
16:58 Brooke Averick? Oh, a passage?
16:59 Connor Wood? Of the book. "She should have let go. Violet knew that. She told herself she ought to do so immediately, but she was hypnotized by the way his heavy balls throbbed as he came. Each spurt into the milking machine originating beneath her fingertips and she began to squeeze them in, in time, helping him empty every drop." So I'm down for Jane Eyre.
17:18 Brooke Averick? I'm not. I think, I think I can't.
17:23 Brooke Averick? Do you want to do Jane Eyre?
17:26 Connor Wood? Can we? Do you think we could maybe, um?
17:29 Brooke Averick? Or should we find something between Milking Farm and Jane Eyre?
17:33 Connor Wood? I, I think we can find something in between the two.
17:37 Brooke Averick? Um, okay. If you guys have any suggestions for something that meets in the middle of a Bronte classic and heavy balls, please let us know. I can't think of anything.
17:50 Connor Wood? Think of a Venn diagram, Venn, Venn, Venn diagram.
17:53 Brooke Averick? Yes.
17:54 Connor Wood? What is it called?
17:54 Brooke Averick? Venn diagram.
17:55 Connor Wood? Venn diagram. And think of something right there in the middle.
18:00 Connor Wood? In fact, forget the Venn diagram. Think of like, think about a spectrum and we're thinking Milking Farm on the right and we're thinking Jane Eyre, Bronte Sisters on the left.
18:10 Brooke Averick? I think the key for us is that it has to be out of both of our comfort zones because we have to have a like shared experience. And I think that we'll get that when we venture on the, to the edge of our comfort zone. And a little bit past the edge as well.
18:25 Connor Wood? And is that what, so are you back to morning glory?
18:28 Brooke Averick? Not at all. I'm saying that there's got to be something that meets in the middle that is also out of our comfort zone. Cause like, I could be like, let's read this romance and like, I'll like it, but like you're, you're going to be miserable, you know?
18:40 Connor Wood? Yeah. Maybe there is a classic that we would both like.
18:45 Brooke Averick? What do you?
18:46 Connor Wood? Which by the way, I have to, I have to bring this up, something that I am so excited about. You know, they're doing a live action, um.
18:54 Brooke Averick? Tangled?
18:55 Connor Wood? Um.
18:58 Connor Wood? They're doing a live action, what's The Boys on the Island?
19:01 Brooke Averick? Where the wild things are?
19:02 Connor Wood? No, the, no, I love that. You know, I love that shit, but hang on, um, Boys on the Island.
19:08 Brooke Averick? Lord of the Flies.
19:09 Connor Wood? Lord of the, they're doing a live action Lord of the Flies.
19:11 Brooke Averick? I've never read that.
19:13 Connor Wood? Do you want to read that?
19:14 Brooke Averick? Did you already read it? I don't want to read that.
19:16 Connor Wood? I mean, years and years and years ago.
19:18 Brooke Averick? I don't, no, I don't want to read that.
19:21 Connor Wood? Okay.
19:22 Brooke Averick? But I appreciate it for what it is.
19:24 Connor Wood? Oh, it's a TV series. It's a new four, a new four-part live action TV adaption of Lord of the Flies. Um, it's set to be released on BBC. That's how you, it could be really good because it's on BBC. Um, and it's filmed in Malaysia.
19:40 Brooke Averick? Love.

20:44 Brooke Averick? I have a book.
20:46 Connor Wood? I have like a lot of TV stuff to talk about.
20:49 Brooke Averick? Okay, should we just move on from book club?
20:52 Connor Wood? Maybe we circle back and revisit towards the end when we have like a more firm grasp on reality and like what we have in common. Maybe, maybe. Maybe by the end of this, we'll find somewhere in the middle.
21:05 Brooke Averick? Okay.
21:07 Connor Wood? Okay, let me go, let me go through.
21:09 Brooke Averick? I also have a lot of media to speak of.
21:12 Connor Wood? Media?
21:13 Brooke Averick? Yeah, like, book. I have a movie, a TV show, and a book, all of which I've consumed since we last spoke.
21:23 Connor Wood? All right, well, do you want to just start with Wuthering Heights? Werther's Originals?
21:27 Brooke Averick? That is, it is tough for me to say. I think I said withering last time, but it's more of like withering.
21:33 Connor Wood? It's more like Werther's Originals than your grandma has at the bottom of her perch.
21:38 Brooke Averick? Wuthering.
21:41 Brooke Averick? Here's what I'll say.
21:43 Connor Wood? Yeah.
21:44 Brooke Averick? You guys know I have premiere blindness.
21:46 Connor Wood? Let them know.
21:47 Brooke Averick? So you, you can't really trust this review, unfortunately. I have loved every movie that I have seen at a premiere. That means I also loved It Ends With Us when I saw it at a premiere. Then saw it at home. Hugely different experience. So I don't know. I really, really enjoyed myself and I thought it was great. But again, that being said, I don't know if you can trust me. Um, I do know for a fact, like obviously it was like visually stunning. And I thought the performances were incredible. I had no idea what the story was about. And I would imagine this is very largely different from the book.
22:31 Brooke Averick? That being said, I didn't even know the tone of the story. I thought it was more of like a.
22:36 Connor Wood? Hey, can I jump in real quick?
22:38 Brooke Averick? You may.
22:39 Connor Wood? What are you talking about?
22:40 Brooke Averick? Wuthering Heights.
22:41 Connor Wood? Yeah, I'm, I'm like, I, I, I don't even know what you're referencing, plot line. What like, what did you, what did you see there? If there was no plot line and you didn't know the tone?
22:50 Brooke Averick? No, I'm talking about the book. I'm saying I didn't know anything about the book going into it.
22:56 Connor Wood? Oh, I see. Sorry. Continue.
22:57 Brooke Averick? It's okay. I didn't know what the tone of the story was. I didn't know what the plot line of the story was. So I was very surprised by the way the movie went.
23:07 Connor Wood? Yeah.
23:08 Brooke Averick? And I guess I don't really want to spoil anything, but like, um, I, I also know there are a lot of people who feel very strongly about the book. And I would imagine that you, this movie will not be for you if, if that's the case. Um, but I have.
23:20 Connor Wood? Do you mind really? Can we just like, I'm not going to watch it. I want to be very clear that, um, and you know, I love my boy, one of my closest confidants.
23:30 Brooke Averick? J E was great.
23:32 Connor Wood? G J E.
23:33 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
23:34 Connor Wood? Um, I have been pretty significantly turned off by the press surrounding their.
23:43 Connor Wood? Like off-screen relationship, like whatever's going on with that.
23:47 Brooke Averick? Oh, how like they became emotionally codependent or whatever?
23:52 Connor Wood? Okay, so like there has been like this progression of like every movie that has a male and female lead and, and, and any, actually any leads. Where the movie seems to be dependent on the press around these two maybe having a romantic relationship off-screen, even though like one's married and one's dating and like, will they, won't they? And it's like very, very weird and like, no one's buying this one for some reason and I don't know. Maybe because it just like feels inauthentic.
24:25 Connor Wood? Like Margot Robbie doing an interview and says that she's pretty codependent on Jacob Elordi. She, she found herself looking around for him when she couldn't see him and like didn't know where she, where he was. And I'm like,
24:36 Connor Wood? one, you're married. Not that that's ever stopped anybody. Speed bump, not a stop sign. And it's Jacob Elordi, like no one would blame you, but I, they got matching rings and then they like, I, I don't know. It's like, is it throwing you off at all? You saw the movie, so I don't know. Maybe this is coming-
24:49 Brooke Averick? Um, I think that's just how it goes. I'm like now. I think that's how they sell movies.
24:54 Connor Wood? But like this is a, this is an adaption of a classic. I think people would have been curious enough as it is. You didn't, you don't have to like-
25:01 Brooke Averick? Sex sells.
25:01 Connor Wood? Do this. Do this much. It's just disappointing to me to look at these two A-list, A-list, A-list, A-list celebrities buy into the like, the like,
25:12 Connor Wood? sorry, like Anyone But You press tour. Where it's like, we're fucking, so you guys should see the movie.
25:19 Brooke Averick? I have actually not gotten any romantic vibes between them.
25:23 Connor Wood? It's like the whole press thing.
25:24 Brooke Averick? No, I know, but I haven't gotten romantic vibes. I've just gotten like, like weird vibes.
25:30 Connor Wood? Margot Robbie had a shrine to Jacob Elordi during Wuthering Heights.
25:33 Brooke Averick? Mm-hmm. That-
25:34 Connor Wood? So that, like that feels romantic.
25:36 Brooke Averick? Platonic shrine.
25:38 Connor Wood? I know you have a lot of platonic shrines.
25:40 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
25:40 Connor Wood? So.
25:42 Brooke Averick? I don't know. I just like, not, yeah, I guess I'm not buying it. Like you said, like I'm not sensing the romance.
25:48 Connor Wood? No, no one is, but it's actually turning me off to the movie. So I think that, I hope we see a correction in the, in the press tour situation where it's just like, you guys don't have to be having sex because at the end of the day, you are actors. So just go ahead and act like you're having sex on screen and then you guys can go home.
26:07 Brooke Averick? I hear ya.
26:09 Connor Wood? Like they put too much money into things. Maybe just like buy some, buy some billboards, you know?
26:14 Brooke Averick? Yeah, I haven't watched too much of it, of the press. Um, I find Margot Robbie to be so beautiful that it act, it like, it does. Not upsets me, but it's like, I don't need to look, you know?
26:31 Connor Wood? You don't need to what? To look at what?
26:34 Brooke Averick? Margot Robbie.
26:35 Connor Wood? Her?
26:35 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
26:35 Connor Wood? Oh, I see.
26:36 Brooke Averick? Cause she's, she is just like so beautiful. I'm like, cool. You know?
26:41 Connor Wood? Yeah. I don't think you're the first one that's ever said that.
26:43 Brooke Averick? Yeah. No, and I won't be the last, but yeah. I haven't engaged too much, so.
26:53 Brooke Averick? I, yeah, I think, but I think a lot of people would, would agree with you.
26:57 Connor Wood? Yeah, that was my only thought. Now, can you, can you, can we just give a warning that you're gonna spoil it for me really quick? And then if you're not gonna see it, you can listen if you are gonna skip it, see it, skip.
27:08 Brooke Averick? I'm not gonna spoil it, but I will, I will say the tone.
27:11 Connor Wood? Will you spoil it to me?
27:14 Brooke Averick? No, cause I don't wanna, like, someone's bound to listen and then get mad at me.
27:18 Connor Wood? Skip the next 30 seconds.
27:21 Brooke Averick? I just didn't, I, like, it's, I'm gonna spoil it right now. Start at one, two, three. She dies like pretty gruesome death. Like, it's not like a, a love story. The, like, they, I guess they were in love, but like, it's not a love story by any means.
27:42 Connor Wood? It wasn't really.
27:44 Connor Wood? It wasn't really getting, getting you there.
27:47 Brooke Averick? I mean, no, it was still really good. It was just, I thought it was like more Pride and Prejudice, which I think is classic, like yearning love story. And this was like, there was a darkness.
27:56 Connor Wood? Just the prejudice.
27:58 Brooke Averick? It's just the prejudice, exactly. Um, but there's, yeah, it was just. Like, made me feel sick. And I saw.
28:07 Connor Wood? You sobbed?
28:08 Brooke Averick? Oh my God, at the end, yeah.
28:10 Connor Wood? Wow, that's sad.
28:11 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
28:13 Connor Wood? Um, okay, well, that, I mean, that was, that was one of the things that I had, that I had a question about. I was curious. I was, I was never gonna go see it, though. This doesn't like, this doesn't like do anything for me. I wonder if it did anything for Jacob Elordi, because he just won all those awards for Frankenstein. I wonder if this was just like, this one's just for me.
28:30 Brooke Averick? No, I, I think that, well, he love, he works, I think him and Emerald Fennell have that thing that a lot of directors and actors have, where it's like, you're, I like, I will use you in all of my projects. Like Emma Stone and Guillermo del, no, not Guillermo. Who's that, who was that director? The one, like Begonia and...
28:53 Brooke Averick? You know what I mean? Yorgos? Yorgos.
28:55 Connor Wood? Yeah. Wait, I watched Begonia.
28:57 Brooke Averick? Oh, how was that?
28:59 Connor Wood? Um...
29:06 Connor Wood? Um, like...
29:10 Connor Wood? Okay. What's weird is that, like, I, this is like a movie that you could really have. Begonia was like really, it had like an artistry to it, but it was like, almost like a little bit so unsettling. Um, and I'm sure there's like an underlying theme that I didn't care to think that far into. I was just kinda like...
29:31 Connor Wood? Oh my god, like what? It was so, it was so almost SNL-y.
29:38 Connor Wood? If that makes sense. Emma Stone was really great. Jesse Williams was great. Brooke, I don't know. Like, I really don't know. I haven't, I haven't watched a movie and been like...
29:45 Brooke Averick? They are so good at movie reviews.
29:48 Connor Wood? No. Well, I know, you're like, okay, how was Weather and Heights?
29:51 Brooke Averick? There was a tone to it. There was an underlying tone.
29:53 Connor Wood? I'm not sure. No, Begonia, I, Begonia, I wasn't, I wasn't, I watched Begonia and I wasn't like, huh? But I was, and I also wasn't like, huh? I was kinda like, hmm. Do you know what I mean?
30:06 Brooke Averick? Connor, the thing is, 100% I do.
30:10 Connor Wood? It just like...
30:11 Brooke Averick? It just was.
30:13 Connor Wood? Hmm.
30:13 Brooke Averick? Hmm.
30:16 Brooke Averick? Okay. Was it more of like, okay?
30:18 Connor Wood? Brooke, yes. It was totally like, okay?
30:22 Brooke Averick? Okay, thank you for letting me know. Thank you.
30:25 Connor Wood? Okay.
30:26 Brooke Averick? Okay.
30:26 Connor Wood? But it wasn't like, okay?
30:32 Connor Wood? Do you know what I mean?
30:33 Brooke Averick? Mm-hmm.
30:34 Connor Wood? But it also wasn't like, okay.
30:36 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
30:36 Connor Wood? It was like, okay. Well. It was like, well.
30:43 Brooke Averick? Yeah, for me, Wuthering Heights was more of like, oh, absolutely. Okay.
30:51 Brooke Averick? Okay.
30:51 Connor Wood? So for me, Begonia was like, well, I just watched a movie.
30:57 Brooke Averick? That's well said.
30:59 Connor Wood? Well, I just watched that. That's what it was.
31:01 Brooke Averick? Yeah, I get that.
31:02 Connor Wood? Yeah.
31:03 Brooke Averick? Yes.
31:04 Connor Wood? Oh, that felt so good to get off my chest.
31:07 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
31:09 Connor Wood? Um, so that's that.
31:11 Brooke Averick? And that's what it is.
31:12 Connor Wood? Now to looking towards the future.
31:14 Brooke Averick? Mm-hmm.
31:16 Connor Wood? I am very excited for White Lotus. They casted White Lotus.
31:21 Connor Wood? Me too. If you didn't think that they were gonna, of course, Mike White, kiss the ground you walk on. Helena Bonham.
31:29 Brooke Averick? Yep.
31:30 Connor Wood? Casted for, could you think of a better casting?
31:33 Brooke Averick? No, and can I raise you Chris Messina?
31:36 Connor Wood? You can.
31:37 Brooke Averick? I've spoken about him ad nauseam in this very chair.
31:42 Connor Wood? I don't know if it's Kugan. Wait, have you really?
31:45 Brooke Averick? Yes, you know who he is. Mindy Project? And from that show.
31:51 Connor Wood? Well, Marissa Long is a friend of mine.
31:54 Brooke Averick? Oh, wow.
31:56 Connor Wood? And Alexander Ludwig, that's great. I mean, Chris Messina, that's a brilliant, yeah, that's a brilliant casting.
32:00 Brooke Averick? Can you go up a few?
32:03 Brooke Averick? I do, I could see Caleb, uh, Jontay Edwards causing some problems for me and some people in my life as well.
32:13 Connor Wood? What?
32:13 Brooke Averick? I said I'm looking forward to getting to know the guy.
32:16 Connor Wood? Of course. I think it's gonna be completely brilliant. I think this is a great casting. I wanna see Helena Bonham. I don't know what I want to see her do. I want to see her do it all.
32:29 Brooke Averick? I'm curious.
32:30 Connor Wood? Wow, Brooke, we're saying, we are truly saying a whole lot of nothing today.
32:34 Brooke Averick? That's fine.
32:35 Connor Wood? I want to see Helena Bonham act.
32:37 Brooke Averick? Well, I, here's what I'll say about her. I've only seen her in like, very dark roles.
32:42 Connor Wood? Yes.
32:43 Brooke Averick? So I'm curious to see what she's like in this type of production.
32:48 Connor Wood? I'm gonna, I'm gonna make, I'm gonna make a call here and say that she's gonna be an overwhelming protagonist in this season. I think she's gonna be happy-go-lucky and I think things will happen around her, but not directly to her.
33:00 Brooke Averick? Okay, let's keep our eye on that.
33:03 Connor Wood? And watch that space.
33:04 Brooke Averick? Do you know when this is set to release?
33:06 Connor Wood? Uh, we do.
33:08 Brooke Averick? 2027, possibly around May.
33:10 Connor Wood? Oh, oh, they're not filming, they're not even filming. I guess they just cast.
33:13 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
33:14 Connor Wood? So, um,
33:18 Connor Wood? wait, okay, so, yeah, there was that. Very excited for that.
33:21 Brooke Averick? I don't want to be an actress, but I want to be in White Lotus.
33:25 Connor Wood? You want to be a dead floating body?
33:27 Brooke Averick? No, I want to be one of the cast members.
33:29 Connor Wood? Yeah, that would be great. And that's, that's, that's a dream of mine, too. You and I could go in and, and, and die pretty quick.
33:35 Brooke Averick? Yeah, I'm fine with that.
33:37 Connor Wood? Me too. Mike White, I could, I just know that me and Mike White would be boys.
33:41 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
33:42 Connor Wood? Um, speaking of boys, Dan Levy and Rachel Sennett have created a new comedy series together called Big Mistakes.
33:50 Brooke Averick? Okay.
33:51 Connor Wood? Is that not very cool?
33:52 Brooke Averick? That is very cool.
33:53 Connor Wood? The series follows two incapable siblings who are blackmailed into the world of organized crime.
33:58 Brooke Averick? Oh, that sounds fun.
34:00 Connor Wood? Doesn't that sound fun?
34:01 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
34:03 Brooke Averick? And they will star in it?
34:05 Connor Wood? Sorry. Who else is in, is casted in this?
34:07 Brooke Averick? I don't see Rachel Sennett.
34:10 Connor Wood? Taylor Ortega. Natalie, so this is Natalie Ortega's sister. Natalie Ortega was on tour with me. Oh, and Jack Inanan is in it.
34:17 Brooke Averick? Wow.
34:19 Connor Wood? Okay, very fun. I didn't realize they had already cast. Upsetting, but good for Jack and everyone else involved. Um.
34:29 Connor Wood? Great, I'm looking forward to this. We are getting, by the way, I'm about to read through like a handful of TV
34:33 Brooke Averick? Okay.
34:33 Connor Wood? coming up, and it's all really great. One, there's a Stranger Things animated series, go to hell, let it go. How long is this gonna go on? Next, we're gonna get a Riverdale animated series.
34:43 Brooke Averick? Stranger Things should be a lesson in like what not to do. Like, they had me so
34:49 Connor Wood? Yeah.
34:50 Brooke Averick? wrapped around their finger, and then they just waited way too long. Like, I've never not finished a series, like, except for Stranger Things.
34:59 Connor Wood? You gotta let it, the art of letting something go while it's still going really, really well and everyone's on your side, it should be studied and it should be put into practice by, by, by franchises of that scale.
35:10 Brooke Averick? Well, I wonder if it's the same thing as playing blackjack. I wonder if you just can't. Like, I just, I could never, if I have like $300 and I started with 100, like, I'm gonna keep going, even though I know I should walk away.
35:23 Connor Wood? Yeah, and that's, that's called a gambling addiction. And that, people go to rehab for that.
35:27 Brooke Averick? I'm saying, I wonder if it's the same thing. Like, I wonder if the Duffer Brothers have a gambling addiction.
35:32 Connor Wood? 100%, they're, they're addicted to it. And guess what? They have an animated series coming out. Someone, their friends need, well, I'm sure-
35:38 Brooke Averick? Wait, are they doing it?
35:41 Connor Wood? I mean, it's, it's called Stranger, it's, it's literally, look, it's, um, it's literally first trailer for the animated Stranger Things series premiering, premiering April 23rd, and it's on Netflix. There's no way they're not doing it.
35:54 Brooke Averick? Right.
35:54 Connor Wood? And collaboration with Flying Bark, yeah, the Duffer.
35:58 Brooke Averick? I think I will watch it, unfortunately, just because I'm like craving a cartoon.
36:02 Connor Wood? You're part of the problem, but I think Odessa Zion is in it. As, as she should be, she's, she's struck gold
36:12 Connor Wood? recently.
36:16 Connor Wood? I, I, I don't need to even look at this any, any, wait, who else is in it, actually? I wanna, I'm curious. Okay, yeah, Odessa's in it. And that's all I know.
36:24 Brooke Averick? Where are you seeing her? Oh, there she is.
36:29 Brooke Averick? Cool. I'll probably watch.
36:32 Connor Wood? I mean, do you think it means anything when your original cast won't stick around for another rendition?
36:37 Brooke Averick? No, they would, like, I would not expect them to.
36:40 Connor Wood? You don't think Sydney Sink would be a voice?
36:42 Brooke Averick? Sadie?
36:43 Connor Wood? Sadie?
36:43 Brooke Averick? No. I would not expect them to. They're probably ready to-
36:46 Connor Wood? I was talking about Sydney.

38:36 Brooke Averick? Is it gay?

39:01 Connor Wood? Wow, exciting.
39:03 Brooke Averick? Wait, this is completely different. This is in 1930 Chicago, a scientist brings a murdered young woman back to life. So I think this is a different film than what you might be reading, or no?
39:17 Connor Wood? No, it's not. It's, I'm, I'm reading it.
39:22 Brooke Averick? Do you have anything about bringing someone back to life in your synopsis?
39:27 Connor Wood? I mean, I'm sure that, maybe that's just a high-level plot point, and they wanted to include what would do well on Twitter.
39:32 Brooke Averick? Okay. And I'll be cruise, too.
39:37 Brooke Averick? Okay, we'll watch the space.
39:40 Connor Wood? Yeah.
39:41 Brooke Averick? But if it's what, if it's what you told me it is, I'm, I'm pretty damn excited.
39:46 Connor Wood? Now, what do we know about Margot's got money troubles?
39:51 Brooke Averick? I wanna read that.
39:51 Connor Wood? Has been, what?
39:52 Brooke Averick? I wanna read that.
39:54 Connor Wood? Okay, it's starring Elle Fanning, Michelle Pfeiffer, Nick Offerman, Greg, Greg Kinnear, Thaddeus Graham, and Nicole Kidman, premiering April 15th on Apple TV.
40:03 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
40:05 Connor Wood? That's gonna be really good. Are we ready for the next one?
40:08 Brooke Averick? Okay.
40:10 Connor Wood? Lucky, a new series starring Anya, Anya Taylor-Joy. Anya?
40:14 Brooke Averick? Anya.
40:15 Connor Wood? Good Anya. And Timothy Olyphant. Okay, they couldn't have picked two weirder names to put together. Good luck. Rest in peace to everyone involved. Uh, the series follows a con artist who has to go to on the run from both the FBI and a ruthless crime boss. Releasing July 15th on Apple TV.
40:31 Brooke Averick? Okay, I don't think I'll watch that.
40:32 Connor Wood? Something about Anya Taylor-Joy, it, it, nothing ever, nothing ever works for me. So probably, like, this seems like it would be up my alley, but it's, like, it just never works out for me sadly.
40:42 Brooke Averick? I don't think I'll watch that one.
40:43 Connor Wood? Um, and then I think I have one more and then we can just shift gears, okay?
40:47 Brooke Averick? Okay.
40:48 Connor Wood? All right. What do we think about, they're, they're, they cast The Beatles, so there's a movie coming out, The Beatles.
40:54 Brooke Averick? Yes.
40:55 Connor Wood? It's starring Barry Keoghan. It's starring Paul Mescal, it's starring, it's starring Harris Dickinson, and it's starring Joseph Quinn.
41:03 Brooke Averick? Right.
41:04 Connor Wood? There's very, there's a very, there's some very, very, um, spectrum takes on these. There's some hot ones, there's some cold ones. Uh, no one likes Joseph Quinn's casting.
41:17 Brooke Averick? I like can't, I struggle to perceive Barry with this hair.
41:26 Connor Wood? I don't.
41:27 Brooke Averick? You like it?
41:28 Connor Wood? No, I don't like anything really when I see him.
41:31 Brooke Averick? Well, I just said I struggle to perceive it.
41:34 Connor Wood? Oh, okay. Yeah, I'm in the same boot. Boot.
41:41 Connor Wood? Yeah, it's tough. It's a tough one. Yeah, I do think he's a really talented actor, but he's hard, like, I mean, it's just like...
41:46 Brooke Averick? Yeah, that is not awesome.
41:51 Connor Wood? Like, I'm serious, if I saw him in person, I'd be like, I swear to God, he just cast a spell on me. Like, I feel cursed. And no offense to him, he's, like I said, he's very talented.
42:01 Brooke Averick? Am I wrong, or is this gonna be four separate movies?
42:06 Brooke Averick? Did I make that up?
42:09 Brooke Averick? I think it's four movies.
42:11 Connor Wood? Do you think I was too mean about how Barry Keoghan looks?
42:13 Brooke Averick? I, no. I think, I'm sure he's aware. And I said I was struggling to perceive him, so I think you're fine. It's four separate movies. So, they all come out at the same time?
42:29 Brooke Averick? So, is there an order, or is it like Bridgerton, you can kind of like, they're interconnected, you can kind of read whenever?
42:40 Brooke Averick? Shawn Mendes? No, Sam Mendes. Sam Mendes is directing.
42:46 Connor Wood? Oh.
42:47 Brooke Averick? Um, released in April 2028, designed as bingeable theatrical experience while all four films on individual members will be, uh, they'll be released in the same month. The specific day-to-day release order has not been finalized. Hey, good time to get AMC A-list.
43:05 Brooke Averick? In over two years from now.
43:08 Connor Wood? Now, the thing is, like,
43:12 Connor Wood? like, I gotta play pessimist here.
43:17 Connor Wood? No, I guess they're filming four movies. I was just kinda like, putting out four movies at once is just, are these gonna be in like box office or if it's bingeable, it's probably streaming only, right?
43:26 Brooke Averick? Oh, I was thinking in theaters. There, it's a theatrical experience.
43:30 Connor Wood? Okay, well, what upsets me and my homegirls is that if you can't go to Bela Noche, where the hell could you go? One.
43:36 Connor Wood? Two, if you're beefing at a wedding, you should stay beefing at the wedding. Why the hell would you take that to someone else's club? Now, three, if you're releasing four movies, are you buying four movie tickets? Like, that's just like, they are ripping us to shreds financially.
43:49 Brooke Averick? Not a few of A-list.
43:50 Connor Wood? I know, but what, what a time to, to be like, hey, we're releasing four movies. Come see four movies. That's like insane.
43:57 Brooke Averick? It is, it is. I don't think it's ever been done.
44:00 Connor Wood? First time for everything.
44:01 Brooke Averick? Uh-huh.
44:04 Connor Wood? Um, I have, I, I'm, we can keep moving right ahead. I have one more that I'm gonna, I'm gonna. When love is there and love is real, age won't matter.
44:14 Connor Wood? Age is thrown out the window when singles search for their soulmates in this new reality dating series hosted by Nick Vile and Natalie Joy. Age of Attraction comes to Netflix on March 11th.
44:22 Brooke Averick? I'm excited.
44:24 Connor Wood? And I'm excited too. This is something I will be tuning into. Um, it appears to be MILF Island and I am excited to see how this goes. I could see this going really well. This is like a really good example of how we were talking about, um, Dancing with the Stars being like, it's a good combo of this and that. And I was thinking like, The Golden Bachelor has like just people their age and it's like, okay, what if this person's into younger people and what if this younger person's into older folks? Then this is a perfect combo.
44:57 Brooke Averick? Absolutely. Do you believe that age is just a number in terms of dating, in terms of dating?
45:03 Connor Wood? I think age is just a number in general. I'm experiencing that right now.
45:06 Brooke Averick? Yes.
45:08 Connor Wood? In real time.
45:09 Brooke Averick? Okay, with dating?
45:11 Connor Wood? No, just in my life.
45:12 Brooke Averick? Okay.
45:13 Connor Wood? Day to day.
45:14 Brooke Averick? Got it.
45:15 Connor Wood? Just age is truly just an number.
45:17 Brooke Averick? But if I was like, I want you to meet my boyfriend and I walked in the room with like a 58 year old. What, what would you think?
45:25 Connor Wood? What would I think? Like honestly, I'm not like unless he was a 14 year old, I probably wouldn't say anything. I really don't.
45:31 Brooke Averick? I'm not asking what you would say. I'm asking what you would think.
45:34 Connor Wood? What I would think? See like I'm also 58. What does he look like? You know, is he a looker? Is he, is, uh, listen, if you came in with-
45:43 Brooke Averick? He's totally hot.
45:45 Connor Wood? Yes, Brooke, I would be like, look at you.
45:48 Brooke Averick? Okay.
45:49 Connor Wood? There's my hussy.
45:50 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
45:50 Connor Wood? I would, what I would say is, um, you come in with like, you come in with like a Martin short, you know, and like, I'd be like, Brooke, yes, he's so fun. Like we gotta get dinner, you know, like I would think that and he's bang. But I'd be like, this is awesome. This is so fun.
46:07 Brooke Averick? Okay, great.
46:07 Connor Wood? I don't know, like I'm not the, yeah.
46:09 Brooke Averick? Thank you for your support.
46:10 Connor Wood? I think that if I came in with a 50 or 58 year old woman, I think that you would, your group text would be, your phone would be vibrating off its, off its, the ringer.
46:17 Brooke Averick? Well, yeah. But that has nothing to do with what I would say to you.
46:23 Connor Wood? Right.
46:24 Brooke Averick? But yeah. I would, I would, I would see that and would love that for you.
46:30 Connor Wood? Well,
46:32 Connor Wood? I'll be watching this show. When does it come out?
46:35 Brooke Averick? Oh, I've no-
46:35 Connor Wood? March 11th.
46:36 Brooke Averick? Okay, which is insane that that's soon.
46:39 Connor Wood? We're having a good, we're gonna have a good month. We're gonna have a good spring full of TV shows, which is gonna be great, cause it's cold here.
46:48 Connor Wood? Is it cold there?
46:49 Brooke Averick? No, it will be 80 something today.
46:52 Connor Wood? Wow, I can't wait for next week. I'm gonna go to the beach.
46:54 Brooke Averick? I don't know if it will stay till next week.
46:57 Connor Wood? I'm gonna put a gun in my mouth.
46:58 Brooke Averick? Let me see.
47:01 Brooke Averick? Drops into the 60s on Tuesday.
47:04 Connor Wood? Oh, drops of Jupiter. That's just my luck.
47:07 Brooke Averick? Yeah. But you know, I fully went to the beach and like got like a tan this last week.
47:12 Connor Wood? Wow, yeah, you were glowing a bit.
47:14 Brooke Averick? That's very nice.
47:16 Connor Wood? Um, they haven't picked up the trash in New York in 12 days.
47:21 Brooke Averick? Why? Because of the weather?
47:23 Connor Wood? Yeah, it's pretty much like disgusting.
47:25 Brooke Averick? Is that why you're holding on to your banana?
47:28 Connor Wood? Just, yeah, there's nowhere to put it.
47:30 Brooke Averick? Out of respect for the streets?
47:32 Connor Wood? For, yeah, for the men on the streets and the women on the streets. I absolutely need to hold on to any and any and all compostable items in my home. Is that not impressive, though, that there was a rotting banana sitting in the studio in my, in my house? I'm like, sorry, guys, it's not gonna happen anymore. I'm an adult man. Age is just a number, though, at the end of the day. But I'm an adult that shouldn't be burping into the microphone. I apologize, and I own up for that. Although it's better out than in. That's what my dad always says.
48:02 Brooke Averick? I wouldn't even call that rotting, what your banana did. It's like a different process.
48:06 Connor Wood? It's like dehydrated.
48:07 Brooke Averick? Yeah, it's something remarkable.
48:08 Connor Wood? Which makes me think like, if that banana dehydrated in such a way that it is rock hard, what's happening to my body and lungs and organs in here?
48:19 Brooke Averick? I think it's a different thing.
48:22 Connor Wood? Fruit versus humans?
48:23 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
48:24 Connor Wood? That would be a good video again that I'm sure you would play. I guess that's Fruit Ninja.
48:28 Brooke Averick? It is fruit merge, basically. It's me against the fruits.
48:33 Connor Wood? Fabulous.
48:33 Brooke Averick? Oh, fabulosity. Um, just like really quickly to touch on Bridgerton.
48:41 Connor Wood? Are you watching Bridgerton?
48:43 Brooke Averick? What, what do you mean?
48:45 Connor Wood? Have you always watched Bridgerton?
48:47 Brooke Averick? Yes. And I have said from the beginning, you know, Jonathan Bailey as Anthony is one of the brothers.
48:55 Connor Wood? Yeah.
48:56 Brooke Averick? I have always said from the beginning, I'm a Benedict girl. He's another one of the brothers, which is crazy because like you have a brother that's played by Jonathan Bailey. And I'm, you know, I'm in a relationship with one of the other brothers, which is, you know, insane. And I have said years ago, his season, once you see Luke Thompson on the big screen, is going to change lives.
49:16 Connor Wood? I don't know who Luke Thompson is.
49:18 Brooke Averick? Plays Benedict.
49:18 Connor Wood? Is that the character?
49:19 Brooke Averick? Plays Benedict.
49:21 Brooke Averick? Benedict is one of the brothers that I, I'm a Benedict girl, right? He, he's changing lives in front, in front of our eyes. He's the artistic one, you know?
49:32 Connor Wood? I, I have
49:33 Brooke Averick? You would love him. He loves to go out.
49:35 Connor Wood? Oh, he looks like Jonathan Bailey.
49:37 Brooke Averick? Well, they play brothers. But I think he's just a white guy.
49:41 Connor Wood? Yes.
49:41 Brooke Averick? But anyway, I saw him in a play two years ago in London.
49:45 Connor Wood? Yeah.
49:46 Brooke Averick? And I just, I guess it was on Obsessed, but I was like, mark my words, like, it is going, like, this season is going to be the end of us all. And if you haven't started watching yet, I would.
50:00 Brooke Averick? That's it. It's pretty severe. Really awesome, in a scary way. So that's
50:07 Connor Wood? That's, it's so nice to have something to come home to.
50:10 Brooke Averick? It is, except for they only released four episodes and then the next four they're releasing on February 26th, I believe. So what I would also say is, if you're enjoying the season so far, go ahead and read the book. Um, you can read it before the rest of the series comes out. That's a fun little thing to hold you over. I really enjoyed the book.
50:27 Connor Wood? Bridgerton is a book?
50:28 Brooke Averick? Bridgerton started as a book series.
50:31 Connor Wood? Wow. People love doing that. It's a classic.
50:34 Brooke Averick? Isn't it?
50:35 Connor Wood? Yeah.
50:36 Brooke Averick? Um, something
50:37 Connor Wood? Adoptions are, adoptions are epic.
50:39 Brooke Averick? Oh, totally epic. Something else I wanted to flag is that I've gotten really close to my Spotify DJ recently.
50:46 Connor Wood? Yeah.
50:47 Brooke Averick? I never really used him before, but yesterday he let me know, I'm in, uh, John Travolta's top 1% of listeners.
50:55 Connor Wood? From like musicals?
50:56 Brooke Averick? I, I guess it's from Grease.
51:02 Brooke Averick? But like, isn't that an amazing thing to be?
51:05 Connor Wood? Yeah.
51:07 Brooke Averick? It makes me feel special. Cause like, how many other people can say that?
51:11 Connor Wood? Is John Travolta still with us?
51:13 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
51:15 Connor Wood? Didn't
51:15 Brooke Averick? Olivia Newton-John is not.
51:17 Connor Wood? What, was, oh no. Was he in some hot water or no?
51:21 Brooke Averick? Yes, but I'm pretty much confused by his existence and like, what has
51:26 Connor Wood? He has gotten, he has been taking The Rock's school of roundness. How has he gotten so perfectly round?
51:37 Brooke Averick? I just never get like bald guys like when they have like no hair like at all. Like no like little stubble. You know when it's like shiny?
51:52 Connor Wood? Well, yeah, I mean, he's a he's has so much money. I'm sure that they have people for that to make him shiny. But I wonder how if his head almost comes to a point. I wonder if I had no hair on my head.
52:05 Brooke Averick? I've always said I know for a fact I have the ugliest scalp.
52:10 Connor Wood? Yeah, I don't think I would look like this. I think that the people would really be like, how long do you have left?
52:20 Brooke Averick? I would like be spending hours and years at the dermatologist if my scalp was on display. Like there's so much. When I feel my scalp, I'm just like, I don't know what this is and I don't want to know.
52:32 Connor Wood? Brooke.
52:33 Brooke Averick? It's none of my business.
52:34 Connor Wood? You bet your fat ass it would feel so good to get in your bed with a bald head like crawling around like an earthworm. I would be burrowing in all my pillows like head first like like this like, ooh, like you just probably slide back. I would get silk sheets. I would put my bald head all up and I would probably sleep with my head at the end of my bed. Cause I'd be slipping and sliding around. Oh, my God, I would grease myself up like a sea lion and I would, you know, those videos of sea lions and they're upside down and they're going through the kelp forest.
53:03 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
53:03 Connor Wood? Me in my bed.
53:04 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
53:05 Connor Wood? I would shave. You know what? If I go bald, I'm shaving my whole body.
53:10 Brooke Averick? You don't really have any hair anywhere else.
53:12 Connor Wood? I have hair on my legs.
53:15 Brooke Averick? I have more.
53:17 Connor Wood? On your legs?
53:18 Brooke Averick? Yeah. That's all to say.
53:19 Connor Wood? You probably do.
53:21 Brooke Averick? You have light hair.
53:22 Connor Wood? I have no hair on my arms, no hair on my like my thighs.
53:27 Connor Wood? Back, no hair on my back.
53:29 Brooke Averick? I'm jealous of your, of your legs and shit like that.
53:34 Connor Wood? Um, well, congrats.
53:39 Brooke Averick? What?
53:40 Connor Wood? Try not to burp. That was really hard. I held it in though.
53:44 Brooke Averick? Um.
53:45 Connor Wood? Um, are you, I don't know. Have you been on TikTok recently?
53:48 Brooke Averick? Um, not really. I mean, like, obviously, like, yeah, but not in a way that's like, I'm consuming new content. It's more just like, I get a lot of AI foods talking.
54:03 Brooke Averick? Like this rice, this animated rice, it's like, don't put me in the fridge, something, something. And then like a banana, store me at room temperature or else I'll some, you know, I just get a lot of fruits, angry fruits and vegetables.
54:18 Connor Wood? I'm getting the animated medication.
54:19 Brooke Averick? Ooh.
54:20 Connor Wood? I'm potassium. Don't take me in the morning. I'm, I, I'm gonna make your stomach hurt. I'm like, ooh, potassium evil. It is helping me so much. I hope they're using that in schools because if it already exists, like obviously we shouldn't feed into, you know, the man breeds
54:40 Connor Wood? production for these AI videos. Like if we're eating them up and they're doing, they're being engaged with, which, which they are. I'm sure the creators are like, let's do more of these, but it is really.
54:50 Brooke Averick? No, I have, I have learned a lot about how to store my food. That's all I'll say.
54:55 Connor Wood? Storing food, the medica, or the supplements I'm taking, really, really fabulous stuff happening on AI med, animated medications.
55:03 Brooke Averick? Unfortunately, like I'm pretty sucked in.
55:06 Connor Wood? I have lost about 2,500 TikTok followers from just not opening the app the past two weeks, which has been a fabulous, uh, a, a, a fabulous purge. See, uh, don't let the door hit you on the way out is one. Two, please come back. Like, I'm just taking a small break, you know, like I'm still me.
55:25 Brooke Averick? You still post on TikTok?
55:27 Connor Wood? I haven't posted in a while. You know, I have my, my TikTok fatigue where it's like, there's just always a new person. That's so funny. And I'm like, that should be me. Like I should have come up with that idea. And then I'm like, I'm, I like, don't even want to be on here if they're on here. Um, but I hear that there's a, a new, uh, Bald eagle couple on TikTok, Jackie and Shadow, that like people are pretty much gushing over.
55:50 Brooke Averick? Oh my god, I don't know Jackie and Shadow.
55:52 Connor Wood? Yeah, and this is like one of my favorite things. I love these, I've always been obsessed like at the rodeo in Houston. They always used to have like a little incubator that would have a lot of small chickens and chicks in it. And they would be hatching from eggs and I would be locked in just watching them come to earth for the first time and be cracking through the shell, crack, crack, crack, and then their beak gets out and then their little gross body follows, but these, these bald eagles, they're, they're a couple. It's Jackie and Shadow.
56:21 Brooke Averick? Oh, I thought one of them was like a human.
56:24 Connor Wood? No, Jackie and Shadow are both eagles.
56:26 Brooke Averick? Oh.
56:26 Connor Wood? You see here, there's closure, I mean, they talked back and forth from wherever Jackie was, they're chatting. Something ate one of their eggs before Jackie joined him in the nest after being gone for nine hours. They both broke out into the most beautiful in-depth conversation.
56:46 Connor Wood? Yes, I don't think I've ever witnessed them being vocal for so long.
56:50 Brooke Averick? Who is reporting on them?
56:52 Connor Wood? This is like one of the, so this is one of my favorite things. Like I would like to watch, during the Super Bowl, I would like to have like a thumbnail of Jackie and Shadow's like in a red zone type situation, but it's a, it's a, it's a GoPro Nest live stream of Jackie and Shadow's nest. They've gone through ups, they've gone through downs. And they're still together and their resilience is something, something from, from days of yore. Like this is a magical thing that these two have.
57:19 Brooke Averick? Look at the caption.
57:19 Connor Wood? I think they could all learn a lot. They're, they're grieving parents too, so they're, they have lost several babies.
57:24 Brooke Averick? Yeah, Jackie and Shadow displays their resilience and devotion to each other. I hope they move on and possibly have another clutch of eggs.
57:33 Connor Wood? Yes.
57:34 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
57:34 Connor Wood? I'm trying to remember what happened to their OG eggs.
57:38 Brooke Averick? A raven.
57:38 Connor Wood? A raven ate them. And I'm a fan of ravens, that's the thing. If we were watching, if I was watching a, a GoPro video of the raven, I'd be clapping, I'd be cheering, my shirt would be off. I would have the R, I would, could probably recruit A V E N. You know, to be in the stands cheering for Raven. Unfortunately, I'm on Jackie and Shadow side, so this was sad to see and they're still stuck together. I do hope that they have another clutch of eggs. I'm on that, I'm, I'm on, I subscribe to that.
58:06 Brooke Averick? What was that animal that kind of recently was being filmed? And they were pregnant, but it was immaculate conception.
58:14 Speaker 05 Was it the mountain lion?
58:16 Brooke Averick? No, it was definitely an aquatic.
58:18 Connor Wood? I think it was a gator.
58:19 Brooke Averick? Was it a stingray?
58:21 Speaker 05 Yeah.
58:21 Connor Wood? It was a stingray then.
58:22 Brooke Averick? It was a stingray. What happened to the pregnant stingray?
58:24 Connor Wood? They figured out that like, it was not immaculate conception at all, like one of the other stingrays fucked it.
58:29 Brooke Averick? No, but there were no other stingrays.
58:31 Connor Wood? Something else had happened, like, like, like something had had sex.
58:34 Brooke Averick? I think maybe it wasn't pregnant.
58:36 Connor Wood? Was it full of gas and farts?
58:39 Connor Wood? What did it have happening?
58:40 Brooke Averick? She's sick. Charlotte.
58:43 Brooke Averick? This is a year ago.
58:44 Connor Wood? After saying Charlotte alone singer is pregnant, aquarium now says she's sick. Okay, that seems like a cover up now, like not to be conspiracy theorist, but like, maybe the government.
58:52 Brooke Averick? Well, she might have had a hysterical pregnancy.
58:56 Connor Wood? Brooke, you shouldn't say that.
58:57 Brooke Averick? That's a, that's a genuine, that's a real thing. She died.
59:01 Connor Wood? She passed away. The major update, okay, they killed her.
59:04 Brooke Averick? A rare reproductive disease.
59:06 Connor Wood? She, she was very vocal about not being suicidal, and then now she's dead?
59:11 Brooke Averick? It was a mass or fluid buildup rather than actual babies.
59:14 Connor Wood? Yeah.
59:14 Brooke Averick? That's so upsetting.
59:15 Connor Wood? They say that a lot. They love to say that it was a fluid buildup.
59:18 Brooke Averick? Confirming her death after months of medical issues.
59:22 Connor Wood? Yeah, right, right.
59:24 Brooke Averick? That's so upsetting.
59:26 Connor Wood? Wake up, people, like this should not be happening so often.
59:29 Brooke Averick? When else did it happen?
59:35 Connor Wood? How, what, how many whistleblowers died during that Boeing thing? They were full of fluid too.
59:40 Brooke Averick? I wonder what ever happened there.
59:42 Connor Wood? It's funny. We haven't heard anything from the Boeing folk in a while. By the way, Boeing, huge fan, love your work. I have to fly tomorrow.
59:51 Brooke Averick? Are you going to LA tomorrow?
59:53 Connor Wood? No, I'm going to San Francisco, I'm going to the Super Bowl tomorrow.
59:56 Brooke Averick? The Super Bowl is tomorrow?
59:58 Connor Wood? It's on Sunday.
1:00:00 Brooke Averick? Then how are you going tomorrow?
1:00:02 Connor Wood? I'm going out to San Francisco tomorrow.
1:00:04 Brooke Averick? Is that where the Super Bowl is?

1:00:33 Connor Wood? I didn't ask, but like, I was, he's like, this happens once in a lifetime. I'm gonna go.
1:00:38 Brooke Averick? Well, I'm just curious. Not saying this is how much he paid, but it, whoa, it's a pretty severe range. It's forty-five hundred to over fifty thousand.
1:00:50 Connor Wood? That is just in, insane.
1:00:54 Brooke Averick? That is crazy. Okay, sorry, continue.
1:00:57 Connor Wood? No, that's all I really had. But listen to my travel schedule coming up.
1:01:02 Brooke Averick? Is it gonna give me hives?
1:01:03 Connor Wood? Yeah.
1:01:06 Connor Wood? I mean, my, it's not lost on me how incredible the things I'm about to say are. Like, it's like, this is, this is like when I'm like, my life is a movie. This is like Timothy Chalamet, what I'm about to say. I'm going to San Francisco for the Super Bowl. I'm coming to LA to see you guys. We're gonna record in person. It's gonna be amazing. I'm gonna leave you. I'm gonna go to Vancouver for my Just for Laughs show, which I'm so excited about. You know how much I love Vancouver. And it's gonna be huge. I think I'm playing this theater that I really like. And then I leave Vancouver and I fly from Vancouver to Milan.
1:01:43 Brooke Averick? Oh my.
1:01:44 Connor Wood? For the Olympics. Oh, we need to chat about that. I'm out of town for the Olympics. Oh, we'll be fine. Okay.
1:01:52 Brooke Averick? Yeah.
1:01:54 Connor Wood? We'll be fine.
1:01:55 Brooke Averick? That's crazy.
1:01:56 Connor Wood? Yes. Why did I tell you that?
1:01:59 Brooke Averick? Just because it's insane.
1:02:01 Connor Wood? Um, yeah, I'm so excited.
1:02:04 Brooke Averick? I think I might be going to New York in April.
1:02:07 Connor Wood? What?
1:02:07 Brooke Averick? I think I might be going to New York in April.
1:02:09 Connor Wood? Will you let me know your dates when you get a second?
1:02:11 Brooke Averick? Yeah, I don't have them, but.
1:02:13 Connor Wood? Okay. Um, I did a show, I, okay, get this. You're gonna hear something crazy?
1:02:18 Brooke Averick? Oh, God, yeah.
1:02:20 Connor Wood? Okay, I'm done burping, you guys. Please stop. I did a show with Noel last night, our boss, Noel.
1:02:26 Brooke Averick? How was that?
1:02:27 Connor Wood? It was great. So I, like, I'm doing a show with Noel Miller. I'm thinking, oh, I'm opening. And I was, I was opening. So I'm thinking, I got fifteen, I love opening, you know, it's fifteen minutes. Usually, like, when I did it with Jake Shane, like, people don't, there's, the stakes are very low for me. I'm doing fifteen minutes at the top.
1:02:46 Connor Wood? Going out as an opener, people already, they viscerally react to jokes. I don't know the science of it at all, because you know, I used to go out first and when I go out at the end to close, people are so like excited to see, you know, happy and like excited. It's because they were warmed up. You have to warm up the crowd. And I didn't notice that until I started having openers that like, oh, going out cold and you're the first person they see, there's a visceral reaction to, you could say the funniest joke in the world. They don't just go stone face, they actually frown. They go, mm, go home, you know? So I think I'm getting there. It was at the, the College of New Jersey, which fabulous place.
1:03:24 Brooke Averick? Okay, I've never actually heard of that. Do you know where in New Jersey?
1:03:26 Connor Wood? It's the College of New Jersey.
1:03:28 Brooke Averick? Where in New Jersey is the College of New Jersey?
1:03:31 Connor Wood? Uh, it's in central Jersey.
1:03:33 Brooke Averick? Okay.
1:03:33 Connor Wood? A place that doesn't even exist, really, if you think about it. Now, um, I get there, or I'm almost there. It's like two hours from Manhattan. And then I'm like, cool, you know, I'm just doing 15 minutes to go. No, no, no, you have an hour. You're doing like 45 to an hour tonight. I go, oh, that changes things. I didn't figure out until like 15 minutes away that I was doing like 45 minutes. But it was a great show. I had so much fun.
1:03:55 Brooke Averick? And you just kind of-
1:03:56 Connor Wood? And I have a show tonight.
1:03:56 Brooke Averick? Pivot it on the spot?
1:03:58 Connor Wood? I pivoted.
1:03:59 Brooke Averick? Wow.
1:03:59 Connor Wood? Pivot, yeah. You pivot. That's what you have to do.
1:04:03 Brooke Averick? A master of your trade.
1:04:06 Connor Wood? Ah, don't be crazy, bro. Don't be crazy. Seriously.
1:04:11 Brooke Averick? All right, champ. I have to use the restroom. I'm sure you do too.
1:04:17 Connor Wood? We're just ending on me, like just telling you stuff about what happened to me? Like, I don't want to, I don't want to end on that.
1:04:22 Brooke Averick? Well, what would you like to end on?
1:04:26 Connor Wood? I want to end on something and you can walk away whenever you feel uninterested. I just want to like bring something to light. Remember when there was, when La Boo Boo started coming out and there was like a group of people that was like, these are demonic, like, like these, these are harboring demonic spirits. You can, you can go pee. I can just, I can handle this.
1:04:44 Brooke Averick? No, it's all good.
1:04:46 Connor Wood? I really truly think I'm on their side now. When La Boo Boo's came out and they've quietly like kind of faded into the back and they were being 3D printed. They were like at Shein and they're like at every bodega and they're at every kiosk at the mall. They're spraying perfume. They're putting a slipper, a La Boo Boo into your bag. They're selling them. It was like, buy, spend this much money, get a La Boo Boo. I do think that maybe they might have been harboring some sort of- Spirit from the, like a dark spirit.
1:05:10 Brooke Averick? Like Annabelle?
1:05:10 Connor Wood? Things have really gone, I'm not one of those people that's like, "Oh, we're in hell." Everything that, like, the world ended in 2020 and this is hell. But I do think that maybe Labubus might have brought something, brought something with them.
1:05:24 Connor Wood? I'd like to look into the origin of Labubus and who created them and what was the reason? And was it just cute or was there an underlying? Hmm, maybe it's a thinker. Maybe we dive into that in bonus.
1:05:34 Brooke Averick? Okay, we can also look at how Matt Rife's ownership of that haunted object.
1:05:40 Connor Wood? I really think Annabelle-
1:05:41 Brooke Averick? Thing is going.
1:05:42 Connor Wood? Yeah.
1:05:43 Brooke Averick? He owns Annabelle. Yeah, let's look into that as well.
1:05:45 Connor Wood? Okay.
1:05:45 Brooke Averick? In the bonus.
1:05:45 Connor Wood? All right, well, we'll leave you there. If anyone has any answers, RE Labubu and their creation and their purpose here on Earth, let a bitch know.
1:05:52 Brooke Averick? Let us know. Sorry. Let us know if you have any suggestion for us to read somewhere in between Milking Farm and Jane Eyre.
1:06:04 Connor Wood? Thank you guys for listening.
1:06:05 Brooke Averick? Thank you.
