• 1:07Brooke Averick?

  Oh dude.

• 1:08Connor Wood?

  What?

• 1:09Brooke Averick?

  Nothing. What's up?

• 1:10Connor Wood?

  Um...

• 1:11Brooke Averick?

  It's a Monday.

• 1:12Connor Wood?

  I'm in a really good mood.

• 1:13Brooke Averick?

  Really?

• 1:15Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 1:33Brooke Averick?

  Have we ever recorded on a Monday morning before?

• 1:36Connor Wood?

  No, it's hard. Thank you for the flexibility. I really, really appreciate it.

• 1:39Brooke Averick?

  No problem.

• 1:40Connor Wood?

  Um, and if we're still talking about the hair, that's... Or can we talk about the hair?

• 1:44Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Like, it's really bothering me.

• 1:45Connor Wood?

  I like it. It's... The way that it's moving and bouncing on its own, that one, that one little strand.

• 1:51Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 1:51Connor Wood?

  It kind of has a life of its own in the way that like, one time I put this thing in my hair,

• 1:58Connor Wood?

  and I was... It's not gonna help. Like, how you're feeling about that piece, so I'm gonna stop.

• 2:01Brooke Averick?

  Well, I got my bangs cut a little bit shorter than I'm used to and typically comfortable with because I wanted them to be like the perfect length when I go on tour.

• 2:10Connor Wood?

  Mm-hmm.

• 2:10Brooke Averick?

  Which I think they will be, but now they're a little bit short and so I'm having trouble styling them because of their micro bangs right now. And this one, I think this strand is new. Like, I don't, I think she used to be... Long. And now she's a baby.

• 2:26Connor Wood?

  Well, you made her feel like comfortable enough in her own skin to come out and be center stage.

• 2:31Brooke Averick?

  Do you think I should swipe her more this way or this way?

• 2:34Connor Wood?

  Can you?

• 2:34Brooke Averick?

  No.

• 2:36Connor Wood?

  I don't think you can.

• 2:36Brooke Averick?

  So I don't think it's even an option. She's just springing forward. My God, what happened?

• 2:41Connor Wood?

  I'll never forget my friend Morgan in like fifth or something grade, she cut her, her, what is the, the front little wispy's?

• 2:50Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, baby hair.

• 2:51Connor Wood?

  Yeah, she's college, never, they never grew, she could never let them grow out because they would have stuck straight.

• 2:56Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Oh, my God, that's so hard.

• 3:00Brooke Averick?

  That reminds me of, but it's like, not really similar to the, this, I'm on this TikTok of steroid, topical steroid withdrawal, which is really scary.

• 3:08Connor Wood?

  How do you get, how do you get to these places?

• 3:09Brooke Averick?

  I think you just, oh, like, how do I get to those places?

• 3:11Connor Wood?

  Yeah, like, what do you mean topical steroid? Oh, like, like lotion?

• 3:14Brooke Averick?

  Like people who have like really bad eczema or something and have had to.

• 3:18Connor Wood?

  I got that.

• 3:18Brooke Averick?

  No, no, no, Connor, you have not, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

• 3:21Connor Wood?

  I had the stuff that they were like, don't use this willy nilly because your skin will get addicted to it.

• 3:27Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. So these are people that has like used, like become dependent on it and the withdrawal is like, it like brutal.

• 3:34Connor Wood?

  No, they scared me so bad. I didn't even use the stuff. That's why my rash is kind of still with us today.

• 3:39Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. So anyway, I don't mean to minimize that by comparing it to my bangs, but it's just like, not really similar, but it is with a side of TikTok that I'm on.

• 3:51Connor Wood?

  That's like, it's so crazy that you were like, oh, I'm on TikTok all day. And it's like, that's what you're consuming? That's not even, that's not even entertaining. That's like.

• 3:59Brooke Averick?

  But I engage. So it's like, what choice do they have but to give me more?

• 4:03Connor Wood?

  Time to, time, time to hop on to my app that I'm about to spend an hour and a half looking at other people's rashes?

• 4:08Brooke Averick?

  It's not a rash.

• 4:09Connor Wood?

  And plates of addiction, of topical addiction?

• 4:12Brooke Averick?

  Very serious condition.

• 4:13Connor Wood?

  Oh, that doesn't sound fun to me.

• 4:16Brooke Averick?

  Whole like, like so swollen and flaky. It's so sad. And takes like, it could take like years.

• 4:24Connor Wood?

  Of course.

• 4:25Brooke Averick?

  So you really have to commit.

• 4:26Connor Wood?

  To being addicted to topical steroids?

• 4:28Brooke Averick?

  To be, to going off.

• 4:30Connor Wood?

  Go off?

• 4:31Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Go off king.

• 4:33Connor Wood?

  Go off king of those topical steroids.

• 4:35Brooke Averick?

  I love that.

• 4:36Connor Wood?

  Um, someone, I just saw this like.

• 4:40Connor Wood?

  Horrible tweet. Horrible tweet. The other day that said the guy that invented the user interface of infinite scroll probably caused more damage to humanity than like Oppenheimer that created the nuclear bomb.

• 4:56Brooke Averick?

  Was Instagram not originally infinite scroll?

• 4:59Connor Wood?

  You had to type load or you had to click load more.

• 5:02Brooke Averick?

  But like.

• 5:02Connor Wood?

  But then, no, then you would hit the bottom and it'd be like. You'd hit the bottom, you bottomed out.

• 5:08Brooke Averick?

  Bottomed out.

• 5:08Connor Wood?

  And same with like Tumblr, same with everything, you'd bottom out. They'd be like, we actually don't have anything else for you. Like, and I remember.

• 5:15Brooke Averick?

  What did we do when we bottomed out?

• 5:17Connor Wood?

  Eat a bowl of cereal, I think. We would go. I think we'd probably like get the, get the mail. Did you go get the mail ever? It was something to do.

• 5:27Brooke Averick?

  No, my mail always went through the door. Wait, that's not true at all. I always had a mailbox.

• 5:33Connor Wood?

  Why did you lie?

• 5:34Brooke Averick?

  I don't think, I don't know. Cause I didn't get the mail and I felt embarrassed about it.

• 5:40Connor Wood?

  Brick, get up. Like, it's okay.

• 5:43Brooke Averick?

  You just called me Brick?

• 5:44Connor Wood?

  Brooke. I didn't call you Brick.

• 5:46Brooke Averick?

  You genuinely just called me Brick.

• 5:49Connor Wood?

  I call her Brick? Oh damn, okay.

• 5:52Brooke Averick?

  Deadass.

• 5:53Connor Wood?

  What was your name?

• 5:54Brooke Averick?

  Hi, I'm Brick. Nice to meet you.

• 5:55Connor Wood?

  Hi, Brick.

• 5:56Brooke Averick?

  I would get so upset when kids would call me Brick when I was little.

• 5:58Connor Wood?

  Oh, it's like, okay, obviously I just pushed a button that like, I wasn't aware of. I didn't even mean to push that button.

• 6:03Brooke Averick?

  Do my feet look blue?

• 6:05Connor Wood?

  No! Oh, they do.

• 6:06Brooke Averick?

  Why?

• 6:07Connor Wood?

  I think that that might be constricting your toes, those platform heels.

• 6:10Brooke Averick?

  But they're so loose.

• 6:13Brooke Averick?

  Anyway.

• 6:14Connor Wood?

  You're, did you get smaller? What, are your feet always like completely straight out? When you're getting your gummy bears?

• 6:20Brooke Averick?

  I'm sitting extremely far back.

• 6:22Connor Wood?

  Okay, it's like, there's no bend in your knee at all. You're sitting, your legs are straight up flat.

• 6:27Brooke Averick?

  Sitting extremely far back.

• 6:29Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 6:29Brooke Averick?

  But yeah, no, my knee would never like go here.

• 6:33Connor Wood?

  That's fabulous.

• 6:34Brooke Averick?

  My feet don't ever get close to touching a floor, even on the toilet.

• 6:38Connor Wood?

  Oh, you're just dangling. You're so vulnerable.

• 6:40Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. That's probably why I'm always scared a knife is gonna shoot up.

• 6:44Connor Wood?

  Into your.

• 6:45Brooke Averick?

  From the toilet, cuz it's not like I could get like, like just.

• 6:49Connor Wood?

  I just wanna let you know, me with my legs on the ground, I also wouldn't be able to get up if the knife was shooting out of the toilet.

• 6:55Brooke Averick?

  Actually, I think my legs touch the floor when I'm on the toilet.

• 7:00Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, of course they do.

• 7:02Connor Wood?

  You must have been right.

• 7:02Brooke Averick?

  I'm out of sorts. It's Monday.

• 7:04Connor Wood?

  It's okay. I wrote a poem.

• 7:07Brooke Averick?

  Oh, nice. Read it to us.

• 7:08Connor Wood?

  Okay, it's good. It's about Brooke and Connor make a podcast.

• 7:10Brooke Averick?

  Oh, really?

• 7:12Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I'm like, I guess I'm like jet lagged in the good way here cuz I woke up like 6:45 on the dot.

• 7:18Brooke Averick?

  Oh, yeah, it's later your time.

• 7:20Connor Wood?

  Yeah, and I wrote this. Ready? Here I am in the stew, and of course.

• 7:26Brooke Averick?

  Wait, were you here when you wrote it?

• 7:27Connor Wood?

  No.

• 7:27Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 7:28Connor Wood?

  I was, I didn't get here.

• 7:29Brooke Averick?

  Did I already ask?

• 7:30Connor Wood?

  No, but like I wasn't here this morning earlier, four hours ago.

• 7:34Brooke Averick?

  I didn't know that you wrote it four hours ago.

• 7:36Connor Wood?

  I said it 6:40. Oh, okay, I see.

• 7:38Brooke Averick?

  You said you woke up at 6:45. You didn't say you wrote the poem at 6:40.

• 7:41Connor Wood?

  I woke up and I was like, what do I do? Cuz I didn't wanna really go outside yet. I was like, I guess I'll write a poem.

• 7:45Brooke Averick?

  Okay, read it to us.

• 7:47Connor Wood?

  Here I am in, by the way, like hypothetical, like I'm not actually, I was in my bed.

• 7:51Brooke Averick?

  Got it.

• 7:52Connor Wood?

  In my hotel. Here I am in the stew, and of course, you're here too. 9 a.m. on the dot, give or take about 20. Any questions for me? I'm sure you have plenty. I'm hungry, I'm tired, my stomach hurts, going diving, oh, fuck, I'm gonna start over.

• 8:07Brooke Averick?

  Take it from the top. Take it from the top.

• 8:10Connor Wood?

  Here I am in the stew, and of course, you're here too. 9 a.m. on the dot, give or take about 20. Any questions for me? I'm sure you have plenty. I'm hungry, I'm tired, my stomach hurts, going diving with Dylan in our huge baggy shirts. I'll take it here, you take it there. Ass so stuck to the Kelly Clarkson chair. In many ways, it feels like being back in class. I'm learning stuff I've been too afraid to ask. What's quantum? What's NATO? And how cruise ships float? And yeah, we're allowed to vote. Whatever happened to that Malaysian airline case? And who the hell pooped on my face?

• 8:48Connor Wood?

  Our tubes are tied. So sorry, I died. You have a heart out at 12. I guess I'll leave then to B and C M A P. Woo-hoo! Is it really good?

• 8:59Brooke Averick?

  I'm being so serious when I tell you, yes. Was that genuinely you and not Chat G?

• 9:06Connor Wood?

  Put it all in. No, how could, how could Chat G even do that?

• 9:09Brooke Averick?

  I guess like they have access to our podcast.

• 9:11Connor Wood?

  No, I wrote that. That was all

• 9:13Brooke Averick?

  Really, really good.

• 9:14Connor Wood?

  And I do actually, you know, I had that thought. I was like,

• 9:18Connor Wood?

  if you're feeling, if you're feeling like AI is taking over the world, don't forget about the A B A B rhyme scheme. Like, I really feel creatively released in that way. I was like, I will always have A B A B rhyme scheme.

• 9:30Brooke Averick?

  That was genuinely like Dr. Seuss.

• 9:33Connor Wood?

  It felt that way. Yeah. I did feel a little bit, I'm laying in my bed, kind of like, you know, that one meme of that guy? And he's looking at his phone and just the blue lights out his face and he's like,

• 9:41Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 9:42Connor Wood?

  That was me this morning.

• 9:43Brooke Averick?

  Wow.

• 9:43Connor Wood?

  Thanks.

• 9:44Brooke Averick?

  Connor, that was really beautiful.

• 9:45Connor Wood?

  I know.

• 9:46Brooke Averick?

  And I'm glad you shared that.

• 9:47Connor Wood?

  Thanks.

• 9:48Brooke Averick?

  Will you share it at Netflix is a Joke?

• 9:51Connor Wood?

  Yeah. Oh, my God, I forgot about that. And you know what? I've been trying to figure out some way to incorporate the podcast into

• 10:01Connor Wood?

  into like the larger scope of the comedy.

• 10:03Brooke Averick?

  Really?

• 10:04Connor Wood?

  Yeah. Because I think a lot of people probably come to the show from, I mean, probably most come to the show from the podcast.

• 10:13Connor Wood?

  And I'm like trying to write, like, we just share everything on here. So I think I just need to write about the, the

• 10:21Connor Wood?

  inner, whatever Patrick says about our brain, the inner working, the inner.

• 10:26Brooke Averick?

  Patrick Star?

• 10:27Connor Wood?

  The inner workings of my brain are an enigma. What does he say?

• 10:30Brooke Averick?

  I don't know. I don't know.

• 10:32Connor Wood?

  I think we maybe have to write more about the thought process getting put into, oh, yeah, the inner machinations of my mind are an enigma.

• 10:39Brooke Averick?

  When did he say that?

• 10:41Connor Wood?

  Because I think this was what was in his box.

• 10:43Brooke Averick?

  His parents came?

• 10:44Connor Wood?

  His box.

• 10:44Brooke Averick?

  Oh. The one with the secret compartment?

• 10:48Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 10:48Speaker 04

  You may be an open book SpongeBob, but I'm a bit more complicated than that. The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma.

• 11:02Connor Wood?

  That always really got me and I don't think it's like intentionally deep.

• 11:08Connor Wood?

  The inner of my mind or an enigma. And then spilled milk and he's not crying over it. I think it was a larger statement on

• 11:17Connor Wood?

  him being so far removed from society and people looking at him as this like idiot and numb to the world when in reality is like, I've numbed myself to the parts that maybe aren't so important. I don't, I don't cry over spilled milk. I don't sweat the small stuff.

• 11:32Brooke Averick?

  Wow.

• 11:34Connor Wood?

  I've intentionally removed myself and things that worry other people and I, I've, I've found peace in that.

• 11:41Brooke Averick?

  You know, what would be a really good idea, like for a podcast for you in the future? Is taking things like SpongeBob that people like don't necessarily deem as like intellectual simulation, but breaking them down in this sort of way that's like, no, you don't understand. Like this is the Shakespeare of our gen.

• 11:58Connor Wood?

  You know, I heart symbolism.

• 12:00Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I think that should be the name of your podcast.

• 12:02Connor Wood?

  I heart symbolism?

• 12:03Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 12:03Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 12:03Brooke Averick?

  And go through things that are like.

• 12:05Connor Wood?

  It's scaring me that you're suggesting that I do my own podcast right now.

• 12:09Brooke Averick?

  No, well, I had one too. It could be that type of thing. You don't have to do it forever. Just like a little side project.

• 12:14Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I don't really.

• 12:16Brooke Averick?

  With this is your main.

• 12:17Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 12:18Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I'm not leaving.

• 12:19Connor Wood?

  That's high peace. Okay, I believe you.

• 12:24Connor Wood?

  We recorded it. Hold her to it. Okay. Well, I have some stuff that happened today. So as I'm writing this.

• 12:31Brooke Averick?

  Already? It's nine.

• 12:32Connor Wood?

  I've been up since 6:30.

• 12:34Brooke Averick?

  What time did you wake up?

• 12:35Connor Wood?

  6:30.

• 12:37Brooke Averick?

  Wow.

• 12:38Connor Wood?

  Um, the sun, the sun came out. The sun's out. I'm like, what am I doing here?

• 12:45Connor Wood?

  Lying in bed. So many things running around my head. I'm stuck. Um, foot's getting itchy. I wonder what that means.

• 12:55Brooke Averick?

  I haven't seen you itch in a long time, but I guess we don't do in Stew.

• 12:58Connor Wood?

  Truly, I would think I'm allergic to something in California because it doesn't happen.

• 13:00Brooke Averick?

  I think it's me.

• 13:02Connor Wood?

  No.

• 13:03Brooke Averick?

  Cause can I say, can I be honest? Like I think it's stress. I think you got, just got stressed about me saying that you should do a solo podcast.

• 13:11Connor Wood?

  And it made my foot itchy?

• 13:12Brooke Averick?

  And then your foot immediately started itching.

• 13:14Connor Wood?

  Oh my gosh, that's scary to think. I really think it has something to do.

• 13:18Brooke Averick?

  But it could be circulation.

• 13:20Connor Wood?

  It's not, it's only when I'm in California.

• 13:23Brooke Averick?

  Izzy, can we go wide? My feet itch in California?

• 13:27Connor Wood?

  That's a Red Hot Chili Pepper song.

• 13:32Connor Wood?

  Itchy feet in California are commonly caused by dry skin from the arid climate or fungal infections like athlete's foot. Awesome, awesome, which thrives in warm, humid conditions.

• 13:44Brooke Averick?

  I don't think you just like randomly get athlete's foot every time you get, you come.

• 13:48Connor Wood?

  I don't think it's athlete's foot either.

• 13:50Brooke Averick?

  Do you think it's the dry air? Then why would it only be your feet? And you're not wearing sandals? Did you bring your wickers?

• 13:58Connor Wood?

  No, I didn't bring my wickers and in fact, I'll tell you more about my wickers in just a second. I brought my Birks. I'm back on Burke.

• 14:06Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 14:07Connor Wood?

  It is so important to have options that you can retire and bring back out because it's like when it is Christmas time and you bring the Christmas decorations and I'm like, oh, I'm excited about this again. It's, you know, my mom and the...

• 14:22Connor Wood?

  Well, my momma does is she puts, um, she, she, she cycles dog toys in and out. So the dog is like...

• 14:31Brooke Averick?

  That's very smart.

• 14:32Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 14:35Connor Wood?

  And so that's what I do with my, my footwear, my open toes.

• 14:40Connor Wood?

  What was I gonna tell you about? Oh yeah, so itchy, so I'm sitting in the coffee shop this morning and I'm writing this poem. I'm writing away.

• 14:46Brooke Averick?

  You wrote the poem in a coffee shop?

• 14:49Connor Wood?

  I finished it. I, cause I got a lot...

• 14:50Brooke Averick?

  You started in your bed?

• 14:51Connor Wood?

  Yeah, there was like lines like hoop, hoop to my face and I was like, I need a, I needed an A for this B.

• 14:55Brooke Averick?

  Uh huh.

• 14:56Connor Wood?

  And like I hadn't gotten there and then I was like, well, I'm wasting away in bed. Like I need to, let me go on a walk. Once I start moving, things start coming back to me.

• 15:03Brooke Averick?

  Got it.

• 15:03Connor Wood?

  Shower, walking, running, about to fall asleep. Those are my four most creative states.

• 15:09Brooke Averick?

  Got it.

• 15:10Connor Wood?

  Places when I, I don't have access to write anything down and then I'm like, try to remember that, try to remember that, try, and so I just need to lock in.

• 15:17Brooke Averick?

  You need to get a traveler's notebook.

• 15:19Connor Wood?

  I need a, I need a microchip. For real, for real, like smart house vision.

• 15:24Brooke Averick?

  You mean like some, like a chip in your wrist you can speak into?

• 15:27Connor Wood?

  Speak into, but I'd like to see it written out. I almost want it in my eye.

• 15:31Brooke Averick?

  I get that.

• 15:31Connor Wood?

  Cause like I wanna be like on a run, but be working.

• 15:34Brooke Averick?

  Like special glasses.

• 15:35Connor Wood?

  Yeah, yeah. I would like to be on a run and being like writing, cause that's when I, when I'm listening to music and stuff and that's when I'm like, oh, this is a funny joke. This is a funny end and I have nowhere to store that. I can't stop running.

• 15:47Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 15:48Connor Wood?

  Mm, mm, mm. Anyway, so I'm at the coffee shop and I'm kinda like dialed and... Like blah, blah, blah, like blah, blah. This guy comes and sits right next to me. And it's a nice day out. I'm sitting outside. He starts eating.

• 16:02Connor Wood?

  In a way that like, have you ever seen at the zoo when they bring an entire melon for the hippo? And they put it in its mouth and it's like, there's no way that hippo is about to eat that whole melon.

• 16:13Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I've seen videos.

• 16:15Connor Wood?

  I've seen videos.

• 16:16Brooke Averick?

  I haven't been lucky enough to see that in person.

• 16:18Connor Wood?

  I haven't seen it in person either, but it's really, I watched the whole thing. When animals chew, that's okay. I listened to an hour of that. When people chew? Gun violence. So I'm sorry, I, I just like, really, truly, I was trying to work my way through this because I was like, it's so nice out. He's allowed to chew. You have to chew your food to swallow it. You know, like, that is like a human right. I wanted to take the metal stool I was on and hit him over the back of the head with it.

• 16:49Brooke Averick?

  Explain how he was chewing.

• 16:51Connor Wood?

  I'm not gonna do it in the mic. It was like, I could hear it when his mouth was closed. But then every now and then it would, it would release a, he would smack. But it was his lips and it was almost like, I was like, completely unnecessary to like, the process of getting it down his gullet.

• 17:09Brooke Averick?

  I want to be with you when this is happening one time, so I can see like, if it's like, truly like unacceptable, or it's just your sensibility.

• 17:17Connor Wood?

  No, it's, it's something that I don't like about myself. Like, I don't, I, I'm not like, everyone else is wrong and I'm right. It's something that I wish that I was tolerant with. Like, I just, I genuinely.

• 17:26Brooke Averick?

  No, I understand, but I'm still really curious.

• 17:29Connor Wood?

  You know how they call it misophonia? Like, I have fear of chewing. I don't, I'm not scared of it. I want to fucking kill you.

• 17:35Brooke Averick?

  I don't think it's fear, that would be misophobia.

• 17:37Connor Wood?

  Ooh.

• 17:39Brooke Averick?

  What's phonia?

• 17:40Connor Wood?

  Sounds.

• 17:41Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 17:42Connor Wood?

  Oh.

• 17:43Brooke Averick?

  What's, what's, what's miso?

• 17:45Connor Wood?

  Bad? Like, bad sounds?

• 17:46Brooke Averick?

  Is he, are we able to get to the Latin root of that word? Just learning so much already.

• 17:51Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 18:20Speaker 05

  If symptoms persist. Whenever fall comes back around, it always feels like a fresh start. This year, I've been layering in some styles from the new Lululemon fall drop. Because the weather is shifting and I find I have to be ready for the entire day and not just one part of it. Lululemon's fall line has some really versatile transitional pieces. So I can just wake up, throw on a matching set, add a jacket or a fleece and head out. Knowing that I'll feel comfortable enough to go wherever the day takes me. Check out the new fall arrivals in store and online now at lululemon.com.

• 18:52Brooke Averick?

  But keep going.

• 18:53Connor Wood?

  Well, it's just like, why, like, why?

• 18:56Brooke Averick?

  Hate.

• 18:57Connor Wood?

  Hatred of sound.

• 18:58Brooke Averick?

  Hatred of sound.

• 18:59Connor Wood?

  Okay, that's right. That's exactly what I feel. They nailed that one. I for real was like, this is, it's crazy that the young man next to me holds so much power over my wellbeing. His mouth is, is the deciding factor whether I have a good morning or bad morning. His mouth has power over me. And he won. It's my, it's this man's mouth has power over me. And it's my Achilles heel. Like, how pathetic? How pathetic if I was in Hunger Games? If someone was chewing next to me and I'm Peta buried beneath the earth, I'd be like, I'd die because I'd be like, shut up! You know, like, I'd be like, stop. Like, you have to chew with your mouth closed.

• 19:38Brooke Averick?

  You know that TikTok trend that's with the song, like, I've got the magic and me, it's like people realizing like what you can do. Like, you can let go. Like, and you have the magic in you. Like, you can, you can just release the power that this man's mouth has over you. And POV, you've got the magic in you.

• 19:58Connor Wood?

  Brooke, I have tried because I caused probably close to my parents' divorce.

• 20:03Brooke Averick?

  Or you could put your headphones in, that's you've got the magic in you. You just have to remember that you have the magic. Is what I'm trying to say. You have to find a way to get that magic.

• 20:12Connor Wood?

  In the same vein, like, this guy has the magic to like, shut the hell up.

• 20:16Brooke Averick?

  He also has the magic. It's a battle. It's like Voldemort, Harry, both of you want.

• 20:20Connor Wood?

  Oh, my God.

• 20:21Brooke Averick?

  You both have the magic. You need to figure out who's gonna be more powerful.

• 20:24Connor Wood?

  Obviously, I'm Voldemort there because he's simply going about his day and like, trying

• 20:27Brooke Averick?

  Fine to be Voldemort.

• 20:28Connor Wood?

  Trying to sustain himself and I'm like, I'm gonna kill him.

• 20:32Brooke Averick?

  It's fine to be Voldemort sometimes. I was Voldemort this morning, kind of.

• 20:35Connor Wood?

  Why?

• 20:37Brooke Averick?

  Got in a fight with the young man who was delivering. I ordered, it was my friend's birthday in New York and so I ordered her levain cookies. And the guy was like, where do I leave the cookies? Let me pull this up. It was actually like pretty damn frustrating. So in the instructions, I was like, you can just leave them at the front desk because I sent them to her office. And I said, you can just leave them at the front desk. And then, so he says,

• 21:04Connor Wood?

  It's hard to be,

• 21:05Brooke Averick?

  Hi, I'm in the lobby. And I said, great, you can leave them at the front desk and my friend will come get, will come get them. And he said, where am I going to leave him? And I said, at the front desk. And he said, what's your address then?

• 21:23Brooke Averick?

  And he's, and then he gave the address that he has. And I said, yes, that's right. You can leave it at the front desk. And then I said, there's a big sign that says the address. And then he said, that's why I'm here.

• 21:40Brooke Averick?

  And I said, are you at, and then I gave the address. And I said, you can leave it in the lobby. The person at the front desk is waiting for you. So then he sent a picture of the outside of the building.

• 21:50Connor Wood?

  Go in.

• 21:51Brooke Averick?

  And he said, I am here.

• 21:52Connor Wood?

  I need you to go in.

• 21:53Brooke Averick?

  And I said, go, I said, you can go in and leave it at the front desk. And then he said, I've been here for a while now. I've been here for a very long time. And then I said, and then my friend went out and got them. And then he said again, I was there for a very long time. And I said, well, I don't know why you didn't go to the lobby.

• 22:13Connor Wood?

  I want to empower you to go into the lobby.

• 22:15Brooke Averick?

  And that was the end of the discussion.

• 22:16Connor Wood?

  Oh, it's, it's, New York is hard, even if, if I was, if I was physically there. Being like, can you deliver to this? It is very like,

• 22:25Connor Wood?

  for whatever reason, like harder than any other.

• 22:27Brooke Averick?

  I, and I have sympathy for that. Like I have trouble getting around in New York. But the way that he sent me a picture of, of the door and said multiple times, I'm in the lobby. And like, I could see like the door, like go in it.

• 22:38Connor Wood?

  Go inside.

• 22:39Brooke Averick?

  It was hard for me to, to put my shoe, my, my head in his shoes.

• 22:44Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 22:44Brooke Averick?

  You know, especially because I've been there many times and like you can just walk in.

• 22:48Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 22:49Brooke Averick?

  And the front, you could, and in this photo imagery that he sent, I see the front desk through the glass door. So it was hard for me to put myself in a situation in that situation. Whereas I could see the lobby.

• 23:01Connor Wood?

  I mean, you were ve- you kept a very level head.

• 23:03Brooke Averick?

  I did, like, on the way here, I was like, I was being rude, but I wasn't.

• 23:07Connor Wood?

  No.

• 23:07Brooke Averick?

  When I said, I don't know why you didn't just go to the lobby. Cause I don't know that. I don't know that. So this morning I was tested.

• 23:19Brooke Averick?

  So now I'm here.

• 23:21Connor Wood?

  Got the cookies.

• 23:22Brooke Averick?

  Cookie, she got the cookies and everything's okay, everything is okay and it will be okay, but I was tested. And this piece of hair is like really not helping.

• 23:32Connor Wood?

  I like it.

• 23:33Brooke Averick?

  I like aesthetically, it might be fine, but like I can't stress enough what it's doing to my peripherals.

• 23:37Connor Wood?

  Can I tell you what it reminded me of?

• 23:40Brooke Averick?

  I worry.

• 23:41Connor Wood?

  Don't worry.

• 23:43Brooke Averick?

  What is it?

• 23:43Connor Wood?

  Well, one time we did like disco themed dinner for cousin Logan's birthday.

• 23:49Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 23:50Connor Wood?

  And I for some, they gave us all these like um little light up things that you stick. It was like the wires that like they light up at the end. And I put one in my hair and I was pretending to be an alien that would drink out of the long string. And I'd be like gulp, gulp, gulp. And it was like a hit at dinner. Cause obviously I wasn't drinking through the strings. I'll show you, I have it, I have an image, I have an image. Yeah, I have an image. Um, and it's right here, cause I was actually about to post it, cause there's so much joy in the photo.

• 24:20Brooke Averick?

  Is this new?

• 24:22Connor Wood?

  No, this is from a while ago, but look at the strings and I was drinking.

• 24:26Brooke Averick?

  Oh.

• 24:27Connor Wood?

  Look how hard everyone's laughing. They're dying, they're dying.

• 24:30Brooke Averick?

  Including you.

• 24:31Connor Wood?

  I was laughing really hard.

• 24:32Brooke Averick?

  That's cute.

• 24:33Connor Wood?

  There I am with the strings.

• 24:34Brooke Averick?

  That's a wholesome moment.

• 24:35Connor Wood?

  My drinking strings. Well, I'll tell you why it was, it was so funny to me. I think I told the story a while back, but we were in Maui for Logan's birthday.

• 24:45Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 24:46Connor Wood?

  And my only job, my only thing I was supposed to plan was birthday dinner.

• 24:50Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 24:53Connor Wood?

  For the love of God, I forgot to plan birthday dinner and it was a Friday night. And finally I call her and I'm like, "Mexican food is perfect for a birthday because you can eat as much or as little, you can share plates, whatever." Margaritas are fun.

• 25:07Connor Wood?

  I call, I find this Mexican restaurant and I was like, "Hey, I know it's a stretch, I know it like it's, it's already 5pm, do you have any openings for like 7, 7:30?" And they go,

• 25:17Connor Wood?

  "Ahhh." "Let me check." And they leave and I'm like, "Come on, come on, please, please, please." Like they're checking, maybe they're pulling some strings and I did that thing that you should do where it's like, "I'm stupid, I'm an asshole, I'm putting you in a bad position." "Please throw me a bone, my life's on the line here." And I, that was well received and they come back and go, "Listen, I'm gonna stick my neck out for you, I'm gonna pull some strings." "I got you a table for eight." And I go, "You are the best, thank you so much" and we're Ubering. And we kind of pass like the town and I go,

• 25:52Connor Wood?

  "Okay, that's the town where like the restaurants are." And then, we pull up to, a stri- an out, a strip, a strip mall.

• 26:01Brooke Averick?

  Fine, that's fine.

• 26:02Connor Wood?

  Totally fine and someone in the back goes, "Are we pulling into the stri- strip mall?" It was just like a, it was like completely like in between,

• 26:13Connor Wood?

  like, cash for gold and nail salon.

• 26:17Brooke Averick?

  Sometimes those are the best places.

• 26:19Connor Wood?

  And it wasn't, though. It wasn't and not only that, there was four people in the whole restaurant and then our eight person table is right in the middle. And there was no, there was plenty of ta- I'm so confused, like what?

• 26:32Brooke Averick?

  They wanted to make, they wanted you to come. I feel like if they were right away, like absolutely, you would have been like questioning the restaurant.

• 26:39Connor Wood?

  It was, it was funny. I don't, I really don't even think we ate anything. We were just like laughing all the time.

• 26:43Brooke Averick?

  You had a, a good time.

• 26:45Connor Wood?

  We were having fun.

• 26:45Brooke Averick?

  Memories that have lasted you this lifetime.

• 26:47Connor Wood?

  Yeah. Dinner and karaoke might be the perfect birthday.

• 26:50Brooke Averick?

  That sounds good to me.

• 26:51Connor Wood?

  Yeah, it's pretty awesome. Um, I can't remember why I told you that. Oh, because of your hair.

• 26:55Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I have to sneeze.

• 26:57Connor Wood?

  Bless you.

• 26:58Brooke Averick?

  Sorry.

• 26:59Connor Wood?

  Whoa.

• 26:59Brooke Averick?

  Thank you, appreciate it. Sorry again.

• 27:03Connor Wood?

  Hi.

• 27:03Brooke Averick?

  I'm so sorry.

• 27:04Connor Wood?

  No, it's totally fine.

• 27:06Brooke Averick?

  I saw two movies. Do you want to hear about them or later?

• 27:09Connor Wood?

  Should we do TV movie at the end? I have some stuff too.

• 27:11Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 27:11Connor Wood?

  My sock shirt. Used.

• 27:14Brooke Averick?

  It's okay.

• 27:15Connor Wood?

  Um. I was walking back from the coffee shop. I had like an eventful morning.

• 27:20Brooke Averick?

  Seems like it.

• 27:21Connor Wood?

  Full on, I'm walking up. I'm like, there is a baby bird that has fallen out of a nest and I like. Walk up to it. I'm like, oh my gosh, crap. Like, I don't know what to do. You know, you panic when there's a baby bird on the ground because what are you gonna do? Lob it up? Birds are like completely left behind in terms of evolution. Like if your baby falls out of the nest, it's just like. Good luck, Charlie. You can't, the bird can't pick it up with its mouth. No arms. That is just like, that's, that's the end of your-

• 27:48Brooke Averick?

  A mama can pick it up with its beak, no?

• 27:50Connor Wood?

  No. No. Birds don't pick up their babies with their beaks.

• 27:56Brooke Averick?

  Are you sure?

• 27:56Connor Wood?

  No, those are just for nuts and berries. Complete, and seeds. Not babies.

• 28:00Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 28:01Connor Wood?

  I promise.

• 28:02Brooke Averick?

  I'm choose, I believe you.

• 28:03Connor Wood?

  I, because I've run into this several times where it's just like, and I can't help because. There's nothing I can do. And I, I.

• 28:11Brooke Averick?

  You can call the wildlife?

• 28:12Connor Wood?

  I go to walk up and I'm like, oh no, and there's people walking by me. Yeah, you can call the wildlife. And they're like, what? I'm like, there's a baby bird. And we all walk, there was like three or four of us. We walk over and I was like. Ah. Half of an eaten burrito. Completely not a baby bird. It was a burrito sitting on the ground. Thanks.

• 28:28Brooke Averick?

  Thank you.

• 28:29Connor Wood?

  So I, that was actually like a wait off.

• 28:30Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. That sounds good.

• 28:32Connor Wood?

  Thanks. That's. How many times I've pulled over my car to go like save a dog on the side of the road and it's just like a stick?

• 28:38Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 28:39Connor Wood?

  Or like a big log or like a bag of trash? I guess it could have been a dog in the back of trash.

• 28:44Brooke Averick?

  Well, I'm, crisis averted.

• 28:45Connor Wood?

  Yeah. And I'm. Hey.

• 28:49Brooke Averick?

  Hey.

• 28:50Connor Wood?

  I told you I have a lot of stuff to say today. It's like not pertinent to anyone.

• 28:53Brooke Averick?

  That's fine. Connor told me he had a lot of personal stuff.

• 28:56Connor Wood?

  Like the dead burrito?

• 28:57Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. Extremely personal.

• 29:00Connor Wood?

  That's, that's personal to me.

• 29:02Brooke Averick?

  I know, I know.

• 29:03Connor Wood?

  Cause I got the street involved. Everyone was like, what are we doing? What are we doing? And I'm like, we gotta figure out what to do with this bird. And then it ended up being half a burrito. So I'm on right now because, by the way, this will be 100% the most viable ad for Piece of Cake Moving that will ever exist because I didn't, I thought my lease ended Wednesday. It ended today. So I'm physically in California. My lease in New York ends today. Piece of Cake is in my apartment as we speak. I didn't do anything. So like truly, if this works out, that you can, you guys can, and I paid for it. So like they're not paying me. They didn't give me it for free. I paid 100%. I've not even chatted with them.

• 29:43Brooke Averick?

  And they're taking all your stuff to a storage unit.

• 29:45Connor Wood?

  To a storage unit. And it's, the storage unit, I don't know if this is always or just right now because of the, the volume of people moving, but it's free for the first month.

• 29:55Brooke Averick?

  There's, how?

• 29:56Connor Wood?

  I don't know. I don't know. And-

• 29:59Brooke Averick?

  How'd they get into your apartment?

• 30:02Connor Wood?

  Someone's there.

• 30:03Brooke Averick?

  Wow.

• 30:04Connor Wood?

  To let them in. Yeah, obviously my landlord goes, excuse me, did you, did you take the, the window gates with you? I go, did I take the window gates? I was like, I'm sorry, what do you mean? And she goes, they're not there. And I'm like, no, I didn't take the window gates with the, the like huge things that they bar up the windows with that like, she goes, oh, sorry. They were just open because the window was open. I was like, she thinks I'm taking this. But this will be, I'm physically here. The fact that there's a group of young buff men in my apartment, moving all my stuff out. And I have nothing, it's everything I own.

• 30:39Brooke Averick?

  And it's, you didn't organize in any way, shape or form?

• 30:41Connor Wood?

  Nothing. I made a list of like, you know, all the stuff in the kitchen, do it, do like, try to organize them in this way. All my rocks and my tchotchkes.

• 30:51Brooke Averick?

  Wow. That's, I, I will be really, really curious to see how this goes.

• 30:56Connor Wood?

  Me too. I'm getting, I'm getting texts like as it, as it goes. Cause I asked my assistant, just can you just like send me? Look at that. They're just, it's boxes and-

• 31:04Brooke Averick?

  You're completely like genuinely, they're packing you and moving you out.

• 31:07Connor Wood?

  I know.

• 31:08Brooke Averick?

  And it looks good.

• 31:09Connor Wood?

  It looks really good.

• 31:11Brooke Averick?

  So what do you, will you, where will you go when you go back to New York? And what stuff will you have?

• 31:15Connor Wood?

  Where will you go? Love that. I love these questions. They're honest questions.

• 31:20Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I know that.

• 31:22Connor Wood?

  I don't, I do not know. And I'm here for two weeks, so that's like half of it. I toured two places yesterday, virtually.

• 31:31Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 31:31Connor Wood?

  Which is fabulous, because you can't get any read on FaceTime or video. So, here's my options. I have one that is like a nice apartment, apartment, it's in a building.

• 31:45Brooke Averick?

  Like, modern?

• 31:45Connor Wood?

  Like, modern, but like, it has character and it like, you can make it cozy and it looks really nice, clean kitchen.

• 31:52Brooke Averick?

  Laundry?

• 31:53Connor Wood?

  In-unit laundry. And then there's another lot of character.

• 32:02Connor Wood?

  Harder sell, I think.

• 32:03Brooke Averick?

  You're gonna go with that one, aren't you?

• 32:04Connor Wood?

  To the average.

• 32:05Brooke Averick?

  You're gonna go with that one, aren't you?

• 32:06Connor Wood?

  Something's so wrong with me, something's so wrong with me.

• 32:09Brooke Averick?

  You're gonna go with that one, aren't you?

• 32:10Connor Wood?

  Something is so wrong with me. Guess who's taking the one with a lot of character?

• 32:13Brooke Averick?

  There's no way.

• 32:14Connor Wood?

  Yes!

• 32:15Brooke Averick?

  Is there a washer dryer?

• 32:16Connor Wood?

  There's a washer dryer.

• 32:17Brooke Averick?

  What, yeah. Define the character.

• 32:20Connor Wood?

  Okay, it looks musty, dusty, dirty and old. And, there's a, but there's a yard, and the yard is the same size as the apartment. A genuine yard that needs some loving, needs some TLC for sure.

• 32:34Brooke Averick?

  Are you gonna give it that?

• 32:35Connor Wood?

  My mom is gonna come to town.

• 32:37Brooke Averick?

  That's great.

• 32:38Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 32:39Brooke Averick?

  Where, is it in a good location?

• 32:41Connor Wood?

  Yep.

• 32:41Brooke Averick?

  Similar to where you were?

• 32:42Connor Wood?

  Similar, yes. And, I like it. I am just like, when I come back here in, in a month or two and and I start talking about the man that's living in my walls, or like, you know, the, the fact that my apartment's like now filling with water because it's below sea level.

• 32:57Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 32:58Connor Wood?

  Just say, "Well, these are the cards that you actually dealt yourself."

• 33:02Brooke Averick?

  Yes. This was dealer's and player's choice.

• 33:05Connor Wood?

  Yes, the dealer, I looked at the cards, I said, "This one, this one, this one."

• 33:08Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 33:09Connor Wood?

  "This card's wet."

• 33:10Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I'll take it.

• 33:11Connor Wood?

  "I'll take this one."

• 33:12Brooke Averick?

  Okay, we'll hold you accountable.

• 33:14Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I'm really, I'm interested, but truly, like, I was, I was talking to people and everyone I sent it to was like, "This just seems more homey."

• 33:23Brooke Averick?

  Can I see it?

• 33:23Connor Wood?

  Yeah. I, I do think that you will like it. I'm gonna send you the link.

• 33:27Brooke Averick?

  Okay, I'd like you to send me the link.

• 33:28Connor Wood?

  So you can see the photos that I have been

• 33:30Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 33:31Connor Wood?

  sending people.

• 33:33Brooke Averick?

  Send me the link, can you also send me the other one too?

• 33:36Connor Wood?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, I will do that.

• 33:37Brooke Averick?

  I'm gonna see if, if what choice I would have made.

• 33:41Connor Wood?

  Right, yeah. You just hold your hold your tongue.

• 33:47Brooke Averick?

  Trying.

• 33:48Connor Wood?

  Okay, so here is...

• 33:52Connor Wood?

  Here is um

• 33:55Connor Wood?

  the the the homey one.

• 33:56Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 33:57Connor Wood?

  And I want to flag that there is a family of four living in it.

• 33:58Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 33:59Connor Wood?

  And they obviously had to, it's not, it's not room for a family of four, but like, they told me.

• 34:05Brooke Averick?

  Okay, this is the one that you went with.

• 34:07Connor Wood?

  This is the one I'm going with, with my heart.

• 34:11Brooke Averick?

  And do you officially have it yet or not?

• 34:13Connor Wood?

  No, no, no, no. We toured yesterday, I applied today. And then this is the one that everyone else is saying you should have, you should probably take because you're an adult.

• 34:26Brooke Averick?

  This place is cute.

• 34:28Connor Wood?

  It's cute.

• 34:28Brooke Averick?

  It's like really cluttered from the family of four.

• 34:30Connor Wood?

  I, that's what I'm thinking.

• 34:31Brooke Averick?

  So it's hard to see past that.

• 34:33Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 34:34Brooke Averick?

  But I don't see, like, anything wrong with it whatsoever.

• 34:38Connor Wood?

  Me either.

• 34:39Brooke Averick?

  I don't even think it's musty and dusty. I think it's just really cluttered.

• 34:42Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 34:43Brooke Averick?

  And like, which it won't be.

• 34:47Connor Wood?

  Totally will be.

• 34:47Brooke Averick?

  Okay, this place is pretty damn nice, Connor.

• 34:50Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 34:51Brooke Averick?

  At cheaper too.

• 34:52Connor Wood?

  I will say it's cheaper too. That, that one doesn't have a studio space for the podcast, though.

• 34:59Brooke Averick?

  I why is this place so much cheaper? Because it doesn't have the outside space?

• 35:06Connor Wood?

  The other one has an office space that I could do the podcast in.

• 35:09Brooke Averick?

  Okay. I don't think you made a bad decision.

• 35:11Connor Wood?

  Well, hang on. All I do in New York is look for places to sit outside. Imagine having a place to sit outside.

• 35:15Brooke Averick?

  I don't think you made a bad decision at all. I don't think there's anything wrong with the place you picked. The other one's just more updated.

• 35:21Connor Wood?

  I will say, my assistant went to both.

• 35:23Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 35:24Connor Wood?

  She went to that one first and she sent a page. She's like, I totally see you being here like, without a 95, this is a great place to hang out all day.

• 35:32Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 35:32Connor Wood?

  Work and do whatever and film the podcast. And then she went to the other one. She goes, okay, so this is very different. Ha ha. She goes, I could see you getting stir crazy and kind of depressed in here. It's dark.

• 35:41Brooke Averick?

  Okay, well, then you have your answer.

• 35:43Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I was trying to convince other people and they were like, yeah, I mean, it's very nice.

• 35:49Brooke Averick?

  The current or the one you didn't go with?

• 35:50Connor Wood?

  The one I, the one I'm, my heart's not in that one. It's weird.

• 35:53Brooke Averick?

  You need to go with the one that your heart is in.

• 35:55Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 35:55Brooke Averick?

  I don't think that's a wrong choice.

• 35:56Connor Wood?

  Okay, we'll see. We will see.

• 35:58Brooke Averick?

  We always do.

• 35:59Connor Wood?

  Yeah, and we always do. Things are constantly unfolding around us.

• 36:03Brooke Averick?

  We always do.

• 36:04Connor Wood?

  What I love about leases is that they're one year.

• 36:08Connor Wood?

  Hair grows back, you know?

• 36:10Brooke Averick?

  Don't I know it?

• 36:12Connor Wood?

  That's a good way to look at it in general.

• 36:14Brooke Averick?

  I think I would make the same choice as you, if I were you.

• 36:17Connor Wood?

  There's a lot of work happening right now, too, which results in a lot of travel happening, which results in just like...

• 36:23Brooke Averick?

  You're never home anymore.

• 36:24Connor Wood?

  You're never gonna be home. It's like a hotel room.

• 36:26Brooke Averick?

  You're never home.

• 36:27Connor Wood?

  Yeah, but I honestly think that that'll be nice and there's ways to do it. And we can stop talking about my apartments that no one else can see, because this is an audio podcast.

• 36:39Connor Wood?

  But I'm excited.

• 36:39Brooke Averick?

  I'm excited for you.

• 36:41Connor Wood?

  Yeah, it should be fun.

This year, I've been layering in some styles from the new Lululemon fall drop because the weather is shifting and I find I have to be ready for the entire day and not just one part of it. Lululemon's fall line has some really versatile transitional pieces, so I can just wake up, throw on a matching set, add a jacket or a fleece, and head out, knowing that I'll feel comfortable enough to go wherever the day takes me. Check out the new fall arrivals in store and online now at lululemon.com.

• 37:45Connor Wood?

  I have to tell you something. I had an experience that you had with La Jolla this weekend.

• 37:52Brooke Averick?

  Are we moving to La Jolla?

• 37:53Connor Wood?

  No, no, I had... No.

• 37:56Brooke Averick?

  Oh, it was not with La Jolla?

• 37:57Connor Wood?

  It was not with La Jolla. It was with Pittsburgh.

• 38:00Brooke Averick?

  No, Connor, no.

• 38:01Connor Wood?

  Yeah. I heart symbolism in Pittsburgh.

• 38:06Brooke Averick?

  Where in Pittsburgh?

• 38:07Connor Wood?

  This general city. The way I, the way I had, I want to apologize to the city. I want to make it like a, an actual entity. I want to personify the city of Pittsburgh. I'm sorry, Pittsburgh.

• 38:17Brooke Averick?

  It is like you do picture Pittsburgh as like steel. It's not. It's like, it's nice and, it's nice, but it's, it's not like La Jolla.

• 38:26Connor Wood?

  No, it was just, I had this attachment to this little town. It was like, it was very Riverdale Gilmore Girls vibe.

• 38:33Brooke Averick?

  Really?

• 38:33Connor Wood?

  Yeah, like a little city with a big secret. That's kind of what it felt like.

• 38:37Brooke Averick?

  Okay. I'm curious about where you were, because you know, my brother went to Pitt.

• 38:41Connor Wood?

  Oh my God, yeah.

• 38:41Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 38:42Connor Wood?

  Well, it was their graduation this weekend. It was also because we stayed downtown and it was, there was a marathon. The NFL draft was there and then they had the graduation. So it was like, I think there was a lot of action happening. But we walked around, it was very cute.

• 38:59Brooke Averick?

  I remember when I went, I only went like twice, but each time I was like pleasantly surprised. But again, like it's no La Jolla.

• 39:08Brooke Averick?

  There are no seals in Pittsburgh.

• 39:10Connor Wood?

  There's a lot of rivers. There's probably some seals and I don't know, I guess the vibe is like, don't swim in the river type shit.

• 39:15Brooke Averick?

  I would assume.

• 39:16Connor Wood?

  Why though?

• 39:18Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I just would, like, nothing good can be going in that river.

• 39:22Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 39:24Connor Wood?

  Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 39:25Brooke Averick?

  At least I know in Philly, like, it's like the most amount of bodies.

• 39:28Connor Wood?

  Philly has the most amount of bodies in the river?

• 39:30Brooke Averick?

  I think it's in the Schuylkill River. Izzy, can we look up which rivers have the most dead bodies? Oh.

• 39:36Connor Wood?

  Hi.

• 39:37Brooke Averick?

  That makes sense that Pittsburgh's has industrial pollution. But I also feel like I wouldn't be surprised if it's just like my mom telling me that most of the dead bodies are by me. Oh, okay. Talk about the, uh, one in India.

• 39:51Brooke Averick?

  Like that specifically.

• 39:53Connor Wood?

  Oh, yeah.

• 39:54Brooke Averick?

  Oh, the Kern, the Killer Kern River in California.

• 39:57Connor Wood?

  Killer Kern.

• 39:58Brooke Averick?

  And Mississippi River. So not the Schuylkill at all.

• 40:01Connor Wood?

  I think, I think these probably have the most bodies, like the Mississippi is just like a huge river, you know, so I think that like, in terms of

• 40:09Brooke Averick?

  Just in terms of like how big they are.

• 40:10Connor Wood?

  Everybody, everyone can dump their bodies in Mississippi. River.

• 40:15Brooke Averick?

  Right.

• 40:16Connor Wood?

  The Houston Bayous, yeah, I've heard that.

• 40:18Brooke Averick?

  I want to go to a bayou.

• 40:20Connor Wood?

  Ooh, it is pretty great.

• 40:21Brooke Averick?

  Like what, would you, what's the difference between a bayou and a swamp?

• 40:24Connor Wood?

  Down on the bayou, I think it's, it's, it's a word for word. It's a word for a word.

• 40:28Brooke Averick?

  You think?

• 40:29Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 40:30Brooke Averick?

  It's difficult to say which river has the most dead bodies, Google said. Bayous are slow-moving, shallow, meandering waterways, often found in the southeastern US, whereas swamps are forested wetlands, characterized by stagnant or slow-moving shallow water filled with trees like cypress. A key distinction is that bayous are generally moving sluggish creeks, while swamps are usually flooded areas or permanent water-saturated forests. Gotcha.

• 40:56Connor Wood?

  Thank God.

• 40:57Brooke Averick?

  Gotcha.

• 40:58Connor Wood?

  Wow, that's awesome.

• 41:01Connor Wood?

  But yeah, so Pittsburgh, I fuck with you.

• 41:04Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 41:05Connor Wood?

  I really, really liked it. I really enjoyed it. I had a good time. It was, it was kind of, everyone was very nice. Geographically, very confusing because it's very hilly and there's rivers. It looks like North Carolina. And then I learned, we're next to West Virginia.

• 41:17Brooke Averick?

  And Ohio, right?

• 41:19Connor Wood?

  Ohio's just a 45-minute drive away. And it was funny because we did, in the Carolinas, like last week, we did two big theaters. We did, like what we did in like San Diego, these huge theaters. And then in Pittsburgh, we did a tip of like a comedy club.

• 41:33Brooke Averick?

  More intimate.

• 41:34Connor Wood?

  Yeah, but they're fun. We did four shows. It was just like, it was fun because it's just like kind of rowdier. And it was very rowdy. Pittsburgh came to party. Yeah, it was fun.

• 41:46Connor Wood?

  A little difficult to lock in.

• 41:47Brooke Averick?

  I was about to say, when we did our live shows, I had like a pretty hard time with anyone heckling. Like I would, like get so distracted and, and engage. I'd be like, what?

• 41:58Connor Wood?

  Yeah, what's funny is like you have to be like, okay, I can't, like no, no one else is involved in this conversation. I'm like trying to, I'm like, well, I don't want to ignore this person that's actively volume above everyone else talking to me, but you have to.

• 42:11Brooke Averick?

  It's hard. It was really hard.

• 42:13Connor Wood?

  Um, but, and then Netflix is a joke on Wednesday.

• 42:16Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. I'll be there.

• 42:18Connor Wood?

  It's so unbelievable.

• 42:21Brooke Averick?

  That you're doing Netflix is a joke. I agree.

• 42:22Connor Wood?

  I'm freaked out.

• 42:24Brooke Averick?

  Walk me through it. How big is it?

• 42:28Connor Wood?

  I think it's 1200.

• 42:30Brooke Averick?

  That's a lot. Like, what, like, size stadium, like, that?

• 42:34Connor Wood?

  I've never been to it. It's the Avalon Theater.

• 42:36Brooke Averick?

  The Avalon Theater.

• 42:37Connor Wood?

  Um, and when this comes out, it will, it will be over.

• 42:40Brooke Averick?

  That, isn't that nice when that happens?

• 42:42Connor Wood?

  This is one of those things, yeah, it's like, it's like, you know how we talked about FUB for a long time, like, May, May, that's like crazy, and then it's like,

• 42:50Brooke Averick?

  Hi, May!

• 42:50Connor Wood?

  That's in three weeks, yeah? Um.

• 42:53Brooke Averick?

  Ooh!

• 42:54Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 42:55Brooke Averick?

  Ah!

• 42:55Connor Wood?

  This is one of those things where it's like, I don't even have to think about that, and then it's on Wednesday now.

• 42:59Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 43:00Connor Wood?

  And everybody, this is one of those where it's like, a lot of times we have people come and it's like, okay, there's this one person, like, every single person that moves any amount of needles in my career currently is going to be seated at the show.

• 43:12Brooke Averick?

  Good.

• 43:13Connor Wood?

  Well, we'll see. Um, I've been working on like a lot of new material.

• 43:17Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 43:17Connor Wood?

  And I think I have it all kind of dialed in.

• 43:19Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 43:20Connor Wood?

  And I think it transitions really well.

• 43:22Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 43:22Connor Wood?

  But at the end of the day, this is not a special, this is a comedy show, so.

• 43:25Brooke Averick?

  Will there be cocktails?

• 43:27Connor Wood?

  I've never been, I don't know, but we're gonna do something after.

• 43:30Brooke Averick?

  Oh, really?

• 43:31Connor Wood?

  Yeah, we should.

• 43:32Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 43:32Connor Wood?

  If you want to. Um, Xavier and Maggie are gonna be there, opening, and then we're gonna go celebrate after, but yeah, it'll be good. And this is the last thing I'm doing before we film the special.

• 43:43Brooke Averick?

  Yay!

• 43:44Connor Wood?

  Yeah, in June, so, should be really fun. This is gonna be like,

• 43:47Brooke Averick?

  I'm excited!

• 43:48Connor Wood?

  Once I'm done with this, I'm gonna be like,

• 43:51Connor Wood?

  like, like, like, like someone that goes, like, retires to Florida, just like, like Jimmy Buffett. What was Jimmy Buffett's whole deal? Bless you.

• 44:00Brooke Averick?

  Sorry.

• 44:01Connor Wood?

  How come he just got to like fuck off down to Florida because he?

• 44:04Brooke Averick?

  I think that was just his vibe.

• 44:06Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 44:07Brooke Averick?

  Margaritaville.

• 44:08Connor Wood?

  Is anyone like claiming that space right now, or could I Jimmy Buffett?

• 44:12Brooke Averick?

  I think you could. Well, you know, I went to the Jimmy Buffett tribute concert.

• 44:16Connor Wood?

  I heard it was so awesome.

• 44:17Brooke Averick?

  It was, like, one of the best memories, and like, I wouldn't, I wouldn't say I'm like Jimmy Buffett, like, he's amazing, but like, I didn't really, like, couldn't name like five songs before I went to that, and now, he's like a brother to me.

• 44:31Connor Wood?

  It really, really is. Just like...

• 44:36Connor Wood?

  Quaaludes vibes.

• 44:38Brooke Averick?

  Oh, total lewd vibes.

• 44:39Connor Wood?

  I've never done lewd, but...

• 44:41Brooke Averick?

  No, they're not around.

• 44:42Connor Wood?

  Really?

• 44:43Brooke Averick?

  They're extinct. Quaaludes are extinct.

• 44:45Connor Wood?

  No.

• 44:46Brooke Averick?

  Yes.

• 44:47Connor Wood?

  They just stopped making quaaludes?

• 44:48Brooke Averick?

  Yes.

• 44:48Connor Wood?

  No, they didn't?

• 44:49Brooke Averick?

  Yes.

• 44:49Connor Wood?

  People do quaaludes.

• 44:51Brooke Averick?

  I don't know if they do.

• 44:52Connor Wood?

  Can we look up quaaludes? Sorry. Yeah, completely stopped making them by classifying metha-qualone as a Schedule I drug, meaning it has no accepted medical use and high potential for abuse.

• 45:04Brooke Averick?

  Are there still any, like, around?

• 45:07Connor Wood?

  In 1984, that's like, completely perfect.

• 45:09Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, that's a long time ago.

• 45:11Connor Wood?

  Wasn't, oh, Jimmy Buffett was like 90s?

• 45:13Brooke Averick?

  Oh, I actually don't know. But I'm just saying, like, they're, they're probably not still around if they stopped making them in 1984.

• 45:21Connor Wood?

  Legitimate quaaludes are not manufactured or legally prescribed in the United States, having been banned in the mid 1980s due to high addiction. Okay.

• 45:28Brooke Averick?

  Counterfeit ones might exist.

• 45:29Connor Wood?

  Yeah. Oh, they do call them leudes?

• 45:32Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I know. I had a family member who did a lot of them.

• 45:36Connor Wood?

  Really?

• 45:36Brooke Averick?

  Mm-hmm.

• 45:37Connor Wood?

  Fun. I mean, not, not fun. Just like, fun that you know that.

• 45:41Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. But like, obviously, like, doing drugs is bad and I don't do any, like, sort of hard drug, but I think I'd be curious about these, because some of them just make you kind of like drunk, feeling?

• 45:53Connor Wood?

  I think it's like, I think probably Xanax vibes, like...

• 45:56Brooke Averick?

  I've never done, had the Xanax.

• 45:57Connor Wood?

  I'm like, once when I was having panic...

• 45:58Brooke Averick?

  Can you look up what do quaaludes make you feel? I think they make you really horny.

• 46:03Connor Wood?

  No.

• 46:03Brooke Averick?

  Yes.

• 46:04Connor Wood?

  They definitely make your dick not work. In recreational usage, subjects commonly reported a constellation of effects that compromises intense relaxation, euphoria, and a feeling of well-being. They also report impaired coordination, slurred speech, and numbness of portions of their body. Okay, so inside, you're feeling relaxed, euphoric, and, and well, and outside, you're going...

• 46:28Brooke Averick?

  That makes a lot of sense with what I know from Wolf of Wall Street.

• 46:30Connor Wood?

  That's exactly what it was.

• 46:32Brooke Averick?

  I do think they make you horny. Izzy, can you look up if they make you horny?

• 46:37Connor Wood?

  Do quaaludes make you feel horny?

• 46:43Connor Wood?

  Yes. Wow, increased libido. But like, there's no way...

• 46:48Brooke Averick?

  The love drug and thigh opener, they were also called that.

• 46:51Connor Wood?

  Well, I don't think that you'd be able to get like a boner with a, you know, like if you're feeling...

• 46:55Brooke Averick?

  Well, Izzy, you know what to do.

• 46:57Connor Wood?

  Can quaaludes give you a boner?

• 47:01Brooke Averick?

  Good question.

• 47:05Connor Wood?

  While Quaaludes were famously associated with increased libido, they often had the opposite effect on physical performance, frequently causing erectile dysfunction.

• 47:13Brooke Averick?

  Well, the-

• 47:14Connor Wood?

  Just as I had thought.

• 47:15Brooke Averick?

  The people that I've heard from, that they make you horny, were all women.

• 47:18Connor Wood?

  The thigh opener.

• 47:19Brooke Averick?

  The thigh opener. Exactly.

• 47:21Connor Wood?

  Me, me with my wide open thighs. I'm like, hello?

• 47:23Brooke Averick?

  Hi!

• 47:24Connor Wood?

  Um, okay, shouldn't have hit my wiener with my fist on the podcast, but it's too late.

• 47:31Brooke Averick?

  Show and tell. Yeah, it's mine to do.

• 47:33Connor Wood?

  Well, let's go ahead and leave that in for the sake of transparency, and for transparency's sake.

• 47:36Brooke Averick?

  Mine to do, mostly audio listeners, anyway.

• 47:38Connor Wood?

  Anyways, if you wanna watch me get physical, go ahead and click YouTube.

• 47:43Connor Wood?

  Speaking of getting physical, guess what I'm doing this weekend?

• 47:46Brooke Averick?

  Is it something physical?

• 47:47Connor Wood?

  Yeah!

• 47:48Brooke Averick?

  Are you going on that hike?

• 47:50Connor Wood?

  No, I'm going to go on the hike, but I'm, I'm not gonna... It was too hot last time around, I may not go on that one.

• 47:56Brooke Averick?

  Um, doing this weekend involves getting physical. Is it some sort of class?

• 48:01Connor Wood?

  Well, kind, well, no. It's a competition of sorts.

• 48:05Brooke Averick?

  Are you doing wipeout?

• 48:06Connor Wood?

  No!

• 48:07Brooke Averick?

  Are you doing something with Dylan?

• 48:09Connor Wood?

  I have not, I have not-

• 48:09Brooke Averick?

  Are you doing something with Dylan?

• 48:10Connor Wood?

  I have not been tapped to do anything professional, don't worry.

• 48:13Brooke Averick?

  Are you doing something with Dylan?

• 48:14Connor Wood?

  No.

• 48:15Brooke Averick?

  It's, is it an athletic competition?

• 48:19Connor Wood?

  Yes.

• 48:20Brooke Averick?

  I don't think I know many of those.

• 48:22Connor Wood?

  I'm running a 5K. Yeah.

• 48:25Brooke Averick?

  In LA?

• 48:25Connor Wood?

  Yeah, it's that Bert, Bert, Bert Kreischer. Bert Kreischer, the thigh opener. Bert Kreischer and Tom Segura have like a 5K.

• 48:35Brooke Averick?

  I know those names.

• 48:36Connor Wood?

  They're comedians, they're comics, but they're like OG, older, and they have this thing, I think it's for charity? Yeah, Two Bears 5K, it's for Netflix's joke, and there's like comics going, but I think that people can run it, you can just like opt in to-

• 48:50Brooke Averick?

  Wow.

• 48:51Connor Wood?

  And I think it's for charity. These things are hard for me because it's hard for me to like remove the competitiveness, even though they're like, it's for fun, you don't have to try.

• 49:01Brooke Averick?

  You could do that easily though, right?

• 49:03Connor Wood?

  It's three miles.

• 49:04Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. I would, you know, I would like end up in the hospital.

• 49:07Connor Wood?

  You could do three miles like.

• 49:08Brooke Averick?

  Connor, I, you know, I did cross country. I couldn't do one mile.

• 49:13Connor Wood?

  Brooke, this would take you half an hour, like a half an hour. I promise you.

• 49:16Brooke Averick?

  I can't, I can't breathe. I could walk it in three hours, but I would not be able to run that.

• 49:23Connor Wood?

  I think you could.

• 49:23Brooke Averick?

  Connor, I can't stress this enough. Like, you don't understand.

• 49:28Connor Wood?

  Wait, oh, the first one was in 2024. So this is like the third.

• 49:31Brooke Averick?

  The third annual. Not your mama's 5K.

• 49:36Connor Wood?

  Oh, how do you know that?

• 49:38Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 49:38Connor Wood?

  I, why is it not my mama's though?

• 49:41Brooke Averick?

  It's just different.

• 49:43Connor Wood?

  They ran a 5K spontaneous calls comedian frenzy event snowballed into a full blown. Wait, is there charity or did I make that up? Beers, laugh, laughs and fitness? Is it top? Okay, that's the podcast.

• 49:58Connor Wood?

  Okay, no, do they, are they keeping the money?

• 50:02Brooke Averick?

  Looks like I'm gonna be keeping the money.

• 50:04Connor Wood?

  Okay, um, hmm. I was telling everyone I was doing like a charity thing.

• 50:11Brooke Averick?

  Can we look and see who these, oh, this is them?

• 50:13Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 50:13Brooke Averick?

  I've never seen them, but I definitely.

• 50:14Connor Wood?

  Arms on the left, Burt's on the right.

• 50:17Brooke Averick?

  I think maybe the right one I've seen. It's hard to say though.

• 50:21Connor Wood?

  I think you've seen, he always has his shirt off like that. Uh huh. All right. Well, congrats to them for keeping that money. And, um, hosted by Spartan. And I think Spartan may keep the money as well. So congrats to everyone's bottom line. Um, I'm taking part as well.

• 50:39Brooke Averick?

  Laugh hard, make friends with the smoothest vodka on earth.

• 50:43Connor Wood?

  I'm confused.

• 50:45Brooke Averick?

  Enjoy us. It's a stress free race. That's what makes it different.

• 50:48Connor Wood?

  See, like my thing is like, I can't do.

• 50:49Brooke Averick?

  You can become a hero behind the scenes. Play a pivotal role in creating an unforgettable experience, whether you're setting up the court.

• 50:57Connor Wood?

  All of.

• 50:57Brooke Averick?

  I thought that was gonna be charity.

• 50:58Connor Wood?

  All of this verbiage is like, what, like, oh, I'm gonna be a hero for what? For us to make money. Wow.

• 51:07Brooke Averick?

  Do you still, are you still gonna do it?

• 51:08Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 51:11Connor Wood?

  I don't have anything going on. I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna go run the 5K.

• 51:14Brooke Averick?

  That will be fun.

• 51:15Connor Wood?

  It will be nice to get my ass up and, and run for 25 minutes.

• 51:20Brooke Averick?

  I wanna go to a Dodgers game.

• 51:22Connor Wood?

  Ooh, I wanna do that.

• 51:23Brooke Averick?

  Should we get a group together?

• 51:24Connor Wood?

  I would like to do that.

• 51:25Brooke Averick?

  Okay, let's start to think about doing that.

• 51:26Connor Wood?

  And then I can repost our old video one more.

• 51:28Brooke Averick?

  No, not that one.

• 51:30Connor Wood?

  Oh my gosh, the way I've been repost, recycling old content and it does numbers every single time. It's like, hey, can you do this, an OG piece again? And a timeless piece?

• 51:40Brooke Averick?

  Let me tell you about the movies that I saw.

• 51:42Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 51:44Brooke Averick?

  I went to the premiere of Remarkably Bright Creatures.

• 51:46Connor Wood?

  Mm-hmm. No spoilers. I wanna read the book even though everyone tells me it's like a bullshit throwaway book.

• 51:54Brooke Averick?

  Wha- not at all.

• 51:57Connor Wood?

  Okay, you guys, this is coming, okay, everyone laughing at me?

• 51:59Brooke Averick?

  Not at all.

• 52:00Connor Wood?

  Guys, I haven't read it. I haven't read it.

• 52:02Brooke Averick?

  Who would say that?

• 52:03Connor Wood?

  Everyone that...

• 52:04Brooke Averick?

  No.

• 52:05Connor Wood?

  Okay, everyone that...

• 52:06Brooke Averick?

  Who would say that?

• 52:06Connor Wood?

  I heard someone say, cause...

• 52:08Brooke Averick?

  Who would say that?

• 52:09Connor Wood?

  Every, cause it, cause of the canva cover. They're like, oh, this is one of those like...

• 52:12Brooke Averick?

  Not a canva cover. Look up the, it's cute, it's Marcellus the octopus, hello?

• 52:18Connor Wood?

  Okay, don't get mad at me. This is...

• 52:20Brooke Averick?

  I'm just a little frustrated. Uh, it's a frequent...

• 52:22Connor Wood?

  I haven't read the book!

• 52:23Brooke Averick?

  And, Marcellus the octopus, I fell for him so much that there's a giant Pacific octopus storyline in Phoebe because of my love for Marcellus. The book is incredible. I don't think you'll like it. It's like cozy, heartwarming.

• 52:37Connor Wood?

  Who do you think I, like, why would I not like?

• 52:40Brooke Averick?

  Cause you like reading about like tortured people.

• 52:44Brooke Averick?

  And like boring. You like boring stuff. I think this is a little bit too goo- like, like sweet.

• 52:49Connor Wood?

  I am gonna, I'm gonna need you to stop. Tell me about the movie.

• 52:51Brooke Averick?

  It's precious.

• 52:53Connor Wood?

  Oh, I like precious stuff.

• 52:54Brooke Averick?

  Fine, then try it. Try reading it.

• 52:55Connor Wood?

  Okay, I might try it. Jesus Christ.

• 52:58Brooke Averick?

  I don't like the way you spoke about it.

• 52:59Connor Wood?

  I don't know about it.

• 53:00Brooke Averick?

  I don't think...

• 53:01Connor Wood?

  And I spoke...

• 53:01Brooke Averick?

  I don't, but I don't want you to, like, it's like, it's too good.

• 53:09Brooke Averick?

  Like, I don't think you're gonna like it. And then I'm gonna get upset. Cause I don't think it's for you.

• 53:15Connor Wood?

  I'm reading this fucking, fucking book.

• 53:17Brooke Averick?

  I don't, I don't think you're gonna like it.

• 53:19Connor Wood?

  I'm gonna read the book.

• 53:20Brooke Averick?

  Read the book. See if I care. But...

• 53:23Connor Wood?

  Oh my god, the way I'm reading the book today.

• 53:24Brooke Averick?

  No, you won't.

• 53:25Connor Wood?

  Start to finish.

• 53:26Brooke Averick?

  Do what you want.

• 53:27Connor Wood?

  No, I'm gonna read the book.

• 53:28Brooke Averick?

  It's incredible, Connor.

• 53:30Connor Wood?

  And Sally Field is in the movie.

• 53:31Brooke Averick?

  Sally Field is in the movie. An American sweetheart, national treasure.

• 53:37Brooke Averick?

  It was not a case of premier blindness. I cried the entire time. I thought it was so good, so well done. My one qualm that I had with the book, they took care of in the movie.

• 53:46Connor Wood?

  Is that Louis?

• 53:47Brooke Averick?

  That's, so that's Louis Pullman.

• 53:49Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 53:49Brooke Averick?

  Now...

• 53:52Brooke Averick?

  He was fabulous. Completely fabulous. Did you know he stayed in Kaia Gerber?

• 53:56Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 53:57Brooke Averick?

  I didn't know that.

• 53:59Connor Wood?

  Cause they were all in Cabo together with Jake. Shane.

• 54:02Brooke Averick?

  Oh, okay. That makes sense. Yeah, I didn't know that at all.

• 54:07Connor Wood?

  He has my lips.

• 54:09Brooke Averick?

  He has, I can see that.

• 54:11Connor Wood?

  AKA, nun.

• 54:13Brooke Averick?

  Can see that.

• 54:14Connor Wood?

  I'm gonna, I'm gonna hit up Louis Pullman and see if he wants to go get a lip flip with me.

• 54:17Brooke Averick?

  Ooh, that could be hot. You can vlog it. Hello, new content.

• 54:20Connor Wood?

  Hi Louis, me and Louis getting new lips.

• 54:23Brooke Averick?

  I'm sorry for the way I reacted earlier.

• 54:25Connor Wood?

  It's okay. I truly, like, that was, that was spoken. I also was like, fuck you. It's okay. I, I just, um, I, I promise you, two people separately have told me, this is like, this is like the, you are a badass book. Like, take the cover off, don't let anyone know that you're reading this in public.

• 54:45Brooke Averick?

  That is like, the exact opposite of what it is. It's like an international bestseller, like, beloved by everyone.

• 54:51Connor Wood?

  I think that that was the thing. It's like, everyone's reading this book, like...

• 54:55Brooke Averick?

  Cause it's that good.

• 54:56Connor Wood?

  Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what I heard, but that's, like, that was what I received.

• 54:58Brooke Averick?

  I'm curious about who told you. I do, I, I do, it is like, very like, cozy.

• 55:06Connor Wood?

  Okay. I'm gonna read it, so I'll be, I'll, I'll come back to you.

• 55:10Brooke Averick?

  Okay. It is like, some chapters are from the POV of an octopus, is what I'm trying to say.

• 55:15Connor Wood?

  I can, like, you say that to me, like, that's like a foreign concept. I can wrap my head around POV from the octopus.

• 55:20Brooke Averick?

  Can you?

• 55:21Connor Wood?

  Yes.

• 55:22Brooke Averick?

  I know you say that. I wish I had my Kindle, so I could pull up

• 55:27Brooke Averick?

  a chapter.

• 55:27Connor Wood?

  No need, cuz I'm gonna be reading it. I ordered a book to the hotel.

• 55:30Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, how's your reading going?

• 55:32Connor Wood?

  It's good. I'm starting a new book, cuz it was recommended by several people. Giovanni's Room. Have you heard of it?

• 55:37Brooke Averick?

  Oh, like, why are you doing this?

• 55:38Connor Wood?

  Do you know about Giovanni's Room?

• 55:40Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 55:40Connor Wood?

  I don't know anything. It just got, my, my thing after I posted, I finished the book, 16 people were like, read this book.

• 55:46Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, I mean, I could see it being similar. It's definitely very heavy. I like the cover.

• 55:50Connor Wood?

  Me too. I liked the cover.

• 55:52Brooke Averick?

  Let's see what this one's about.

• 55:53Connor Wood?

  No, no, don't tell me.

• 55:54Brooke Averick?

  Okay, you don't wanna know?

• 55:54Connor Wood?

  No, I don't like to know what anything about. Sure. But tell me about your second movie. We're about to, we're, we're, we're closing out quickly.

• 56:03Brooke Averick?

  Uh, so Remarkably By Creatures was 10 out of 10. Incredible. So faithful to the book. Amazing. Um, my one qualm with the book is that I thought they spent too much time on Cameron's, like, solo journey, which I didn't really care about, but they just tied him and Tova together so beautifully, so they were doing stuff together in the movie the whole time. It was amazing. Um, okay. Saw D Wears P2.

• 56:25Connor Wood?

  Oh, yeah.

• 56:26Brooke Averick?

  And you know, I'm not like a big D Wears P1 type of girl.

• 56:29Connor Wood?

  True.

• 56:30Brooke Averick?

  Like, I don't not like it, but like, it's just not, like, one of my favorites. I thought this was cute.

• 56:34Connor Wood?

  Cool.

• 56:35Brooke Averick?

  That's really it. It was like, nothing like, whoa, my god, but I definitely was entertained, and I love Meryl Streep so much, it's insane.

• 56:42Connor Wood?

  I do kinda feel like this was made for the fan, like, as like a fan nod, and not like-

• 56:47Brooke Averick?

  It was kinda like fanfiction.

• 56:48Connor Wood?

  A true, yeah, that's kinda what it felt like. And not like a true sequel.

• 56:52Brooke Averick?

  Well, correct me if I'm wrong, cuz that's often the case. I think Devil Wears Prada, the original, was based off of a book.

• 56:59Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 56:59Brooke Averick?

  And then, like, this one was, like, screenwriters just using inspiration from characters.

• 57:04Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 57:05Brooke Averick?

  But I don't know if that's right. Um, that's just what I think. So...

• 57:13Brooke Averick?

  Anyway, those are the two movies that I saw.

• 57:14Connor Wood?

  Good job.

• 57:15Brooke Averick?

  Thank you.

• 57:16Connor Wood?

  Um...

• 57:17Brooke Averick?

  I hope that you read Remarkably By Creatures.

• 57:19Connor Wood?

  I'm gonna...

• 57:21Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. It was based off of the novel. So, I guess, is there a second novel?

• 57:28Connor Wood?

  That would be a bummer if you were the writer of the first one and then they, like I said, just buy the rights.

• 57:32Brooke Averick?

  Well, yes.

• 57:35Brooke Averick?

  There's a second book in the Devil Wears Prada, the Revenge Devil Wears Returns. Follows Andy's act 10 years later, she launches her own bridal magazine with Emily and is forced back into orbit. So that's not what the second movie is about. Andy is a successful editor of a bridal magazine and getting married. That's not what this is about. So that's so interesting. They decided to

• 57:54Connor Wood?

  divulge?

• 57:54Brooke Averick?

  Go in a completely different direction. And they added like the most random ass romance like three quarters of the way through that was so unnecessary. Like she was this, like, and you know, I'm never like romance is not necessary. I want romance in everything. The romance in this was not necessary. Thank you.

• 58:09Connor Wood?

  Interesting.

• 58:09Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 58:10Connor Wood?

  Speaking of romance.

• 58:11Brooke Averick?

  What?

• 58:12Connor Wood?

  I had this idea the other day. Cause what were we talking about? Oh, Kendall Jenner is dating Jacob Bellorti now?

• 58:19Brooke Averick?

  Of course.

• 58:19Connor Wood?

  So Kendall Jenner is dating Jacob Bellorti. Kylie is dating Timothy Chalamet. We're bordering, we're bordering on Monopoly. You're like, I truly think, I'm serious. Like in terms of, these are two of the young men in Hollywood that are signed on to like exclusive 10 project deals and they're all blockbuster films. And then you have this family that's, I think, signed some sort of 10 conglomerate corporation deals. Like we are bordering on a monopoly that is like, might need to be

• 58:54Brooke Averick?

  It is?

• 58:55Connor Wood?

  Looked into breaking up. Like

• 58:56Brooke Averick?

  Yeah.

• 58:57Connor Wood?

  I don't know how much money, obviously like an AT&T makes a ton of money, but like.

• 59:03Brooke Averick?

  What does AT&T have to do with it?

• 59:05Connor Wood?

  Like in AT&T, they broke up into like subsidiaries a long time ago because it was a monopoly. And like, that doesn't work. And like a Live Nation, I think is, they're looking into as like a monopoly and like, I don't know how much money that the Kardashians have, but it's probably close to Live Nation.

• 59:20Brooke Averick?

  To me, it's more so giving like you have to marry within your means, like in the royal families. It's like, like keeping the royal families together. Does that make sense?

• 59:29Connor Wood?

  Yeah, it makes

• 59:29Brooke Averick?

  Like Hollywood staying within Hollywood.

• 59:31Connor Wood?

  Yeah, but the royal families really just like hang out at their house and then go to the horse show, you know, like, and then they are like, here, I'm here at this thing. They're not like, okay, Kim is producing all these movies. These actors are here, like, now these actors will be in these movies and then we're going to start businesses to like. We're gonna start all these businesses that like are pushed out at the people that watch the movies that Timothy Chalamet is in, like skincare and like clothing and energy drinks and their squinters and like, I'm like, oh my god, like this is, they're gonna open a Walmart.

• 1:00:04Brooke Averick?

  I'm thinking more in terms of like the romanticy books I read when there are different realms and like Kris Jenner is the queen of her realm, which is like the skincare, beauty, like model, like that's her realm. And then there's another realm across the ocean that's like Hollywood, like Oscar nominated movie stars, and she's trying to merge the realms to strengthen her her own realm with an alliance.

• 1:00:27Connor Wood?

  Yeah, and like this is real life too, and that is physically happening.

• 1:00:31Brooke Averick?

  That's what I'm saying. Like it is, it is giving, the merging of the realms.

• 1:00:35Connor Wood?

  Like, I'm gonna tell the FTC.

• 1:00:36Brooke Averick?

  Okay.

• 1:00:37Connor Wood?

  But they could probably buy the FTC. You know what I mean?

• 1:00:40Brooke Averick?

  Right.

• 1:00:40Connor Wood?

  And there's probably so many loopholes. They obviously have like the probably the best lawyers in the world. And it's just like, I'm concerned. I want us to see with clear vision what's happening before our eyes. It's like truly, you're right, like the royal family. And it's like, let's build this empire.

• 1:00:57Brooke Averick?

  It's an empire.

• 1:00:58Connor Wood?

  It's an empire.

• 1:00:59Brooke Averick?

  It's a friggin' empire, yeah.

• 1:01:00Connor Wood?

  Oof, that's, oh hey.

• 1:01:02Brooke Averick?

  Hey.

• 1:01:02Connor Wood?

  Speaking of the empire.

• 1:01:03Brooke Averick?

  What?

• 1:01:04Connor Wood?

  May the fourth be with you.

• 1:01:05Brooke Averick?

  Hi, may the fourth be with you.

• 1:01:07Connor Wood?

  And with you and yours.

• 1:01:08Brooke Averick?

  Have you seen Star Wars?

• 1:01:09Connor Wood?

  We already talked about this. Of course, I saw every single Star Wars.

• 1:01:12Brooke Averick?

  Sorry.

• 1:01:12Connor Wood?

  I was a Star Wars freak.

• 1:01:13Brooke Averick?

  I want to.

• 1:01:14Connor Wood?

  That was the, that was the only thing. That was the number one thing that, besides Pirates of the Caribbean, which I would, I, I see more of myself in the Pirates trilogy or whatever series than Star Wars, just because I ended up being scared of space at some point. But the Star Wars, I was seeing in theaters every year because my friend Will would have his birthday, we'd go see the Star Wars movie and then we'd sleep over at his house.

• 1:01:41Brooke Averick?

  Cute.

• 1:01:42Connor Wood?

  Yeah, it was really fun. I would look forward to that every year.

• 1:01:44Brooke Averick?

  Something I need to tell you.

• 1:01:46Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 1:01:46Brooke Averick?

  I'm reading, I'm reading three books at the same time, which I've never done. I'm reading a memoir, the last in my series, and a novel, which it's really been fun. But the memoir, I'm reading Lena Dunham's memoir.

• 1:01:59Connor Wood?

  I am too.

• 1:02:00Brooke Averick?

  You are?

• 1:02:01Connor Wood?

  I just, it just got delivered to my house and I haven't started it yet, but I'm reading it.

• 1:02:04Brooke Averick?

  I've been listening to it on audio, because she narrates, and so that's fun.

• 1:02:07Connor Wood?

  So you're not reading it?

• 1:02:09Brooke Averick?

  Listening to audiobooks is consuming a book, whether you want to call it reading or not.

• 1:02:13Connor Wood?

  Well, it's not reading.

• 1:02:16Brooke Averick?

  I don't want to get into this argument.

• 1:02:17Connor Wood?

  Cause you're listening to it. That's like someone read our podcast.

• 1:02:20Brooke Averick?

  It's like, but like the verb, you're taking the verb read too literally. Like I'm consuming a book.

• 1:02:25Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 1:02:27Brooke Averick?

  Yeah. But I'm also, I'm reading it on my Kindle as well. I'm supplementing.

• 1:02:31Connor Wood?

  Okay.

• 1:02:32Brooke Averick?

  So I'm doing an immersive read.

• 1:02:34Connor Wood?

  Like if I came into the podcast and I was like, I read a book and I listened to the audiobook, like I would feel like I would lose sleep. I'd leave here with guilt.

• 1:02:41Brooke Averick?

  That's just what people say now. Like it's just a semantics thing. Like you're consuming the book. But um, but I'm doing immersive, which is reading and listening at the same time.

• 1:02:51Connor Wood?

  That's what I would want to do. Cause I would need something to, if I'm listening to an audiobook, I'm gonna go ahead and like scroll on Instagram while I'm listening to the audiobook.

• 1:02:59Brooke Averick?

  Yeah, but I'm also, the only reason I said I'm listening is because I'm, I'm not doing immersive when my eyes are closed and I'm falling asleep at night and the audiobook is still going.

• 1:03:08Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 1:03:08Brooke Averick?

  But I, before I close my eyes, I'm also reading it with the Kindle. But anyway, she talks about her health and how sick she's been. And I didn't know that she has ELLER's. I can't ever get it right.

• 1:03:19Connor Wood?

  Down low.

• 1:03:20Brooke Averick?

  ELLER's down low.

• 1:03:21Connor Wood?

  Down low. ELLER's down low.

• 1:03:23Brooke Averick?

  ELLER's down low.

• 1:03:24Connor Wood?

  Down low. Drop it low.

• 1:03:26Brooke Averick?

  I can't, I'm sorry that I'm not. EDS is basically what? ELLER's down low. ELLER's down low.

• 1:03:31Connor Wood?

  Well, I sent you her, I sent you and Izzy her post and her caption was like, I've been seeking information about this forever. And there's like nothing out there.

• 1:03:38Brooke Averick?

  Right.

• 1:03:39Connor Wood?

  Yeah. Welcome to the club, Lena. I've been, I have to.

• 1:03:41Brooke Averick?

  Well, you like haven't even spoken about it to a doctor yet.

• 1:03:46Connor Wood?

  Well, no, cause every time I go into the doctor, I'm like, I have this. And they're like, no, you don't.

• 1:03:52Connor Wood?

  And I'm like, no.

• 1:03:52Brooke Averick?

  I haven't gotten into the weeds yet, but let's see, let's see what her journey is.

• 1:03:56Connor Wood?

  Bring it on.

• 1:03:57Brooke Averick?

  Also like, at least a chronic pain. Like, could that be your back?

• 1:04:03Connor Wood?

  Impossible to say, but I think that that could be more of a pinched nerve.

• 1:04:08Brooke Averick?

  Well, you know, as always, we're keeping our eyes on it.

• 1:04:11Connor Wood?

  What's tissue fragility?

• 1:04:15Connor Wood?

  Genetic disorders, connective tissues, skin issues, soft velvety or surgery bruises easily. Hypermobility. I don't have hypermobility.

• 1:04:25Brooke Averick?

  Do you bruise easily?

• 1:04:25Connor Wood?

  No, I don't bruise easy. I scar easy, but that's just because I'm olive skin colored, which is such a blessing.

• 1:04:31Brooke Averick?

  Soft, doughy texture.

• 1:04:34Connor Wood?

  Do you think I'm soft and doughy?

• 1:04:36Brooke Averick?

  Mm-mm.

• 1:04:37Connor Wood?

  To the touch?

• 1:04:38Brooke Averick?

  No.

• 1:04:39Connor Wood?

  When you're touching my body, do you think that it's soft and doughy?

• 1:04:41Brooke Averick?

  No, I don't. But I don't know.

• 1:04:44Connor Wood?

  Genetic defects impair collagen. Do I die from this? Is that the end of my story?

• 1:04:49Brooke Averick?

  I don't think so, but I think it's like definitely a chronic illness. Or can lead to something that could cause your death, but I don't think you have it bad if you have it.

• 1:05:00Connor Wood?

  Generally not fatal. Then who gives a shit?

• 1:05:03Brooke Averick?

  A lot of people, probably.

• 1:05:07Connor Wood?

  Okay. Sorry.

• 1:05:09Brooke Averick?

  Like Lena.

• 1:05:10Connor Wood?

  Well.

• 1:05:12Brooke Averick?

  I guess it just depends how bad you have it. Seems like there's definitely varying levels.

• 1:05:16Connor Wood?

  What's wrong with her?

• 1:05:16Brooke Averick?

  Like Lena's pretty damn sick. I don't know. I haven't gotten to that part.

• 1:05:19Connor Wood?

  Okay, because I'm wondering like, maybe I'm stronger than Lena?

• 1:05:23Brooke Averick?

  I don't think it's a matter of you being stronger. I think it's a matter of like what, like it seems like it might be a spectrum.

• 1:05:30Connor Wood?

  As is everything.

• 1:05:30Brooke Averick?

  Like, because what is it?

• 1:05:32Connor Wood?

  Yeah.

• 1:05:32Brooke Averick?

  And you might just fall in a lower scale.

• 1:05:35Connor Wood?

  And bruise easy.

• 1:05:36Brooke Averick?

  Do you bruise easy?

• 1:05:37Connor Wood?

  No, if I fell off the scale, like I'm just like, oh, bruise easy.

• 1:05:40Brooke Averick?

  Nice.

• 1:05:41Connor Wood?

  Because of my, because of my situation, my affliction.

• 1:05:43Brooke Averick?

  And with that.

• 1:05:44Connor Wood?

  We wish you all the best. Thanks for listening. I, um, you know, I wish everybody the best. Unless you're evil, then I hope you, uh, then I don't.

• 1:05:54Brooke Averick?

  Nice. We will see you later.

• 1:05:56Connor Wood?

  I'm nailing my, um, see ya.

• 1:06:08Speaker 05

  Whenever fall comes back around, it always feels like a fresh start. This year, I've been layering in some styles from the new Lululemon fall drop because the weather is shifting and I find I have to be ready for the entire day and not just one part of it. Lululemon's fall line has some really versatile transitional pieces. So I can just wake up, throw on a matching set, add a jacket or a fleece and head out, knowing that I'll feel comfortable enough to go wherever the day takes me. Check out the new fall arrivals in store and online now at lululemon.com. Ugh, I hate Mondays.

  King's Hawaiian cinnamon swirl bite?

• 1:06:41Speaker 07

  Taylor Hansen? Sure, I'll try one. Mmm.

• 1:06:46Speaker 07

  Hey, let's get back to work, please. But Taylor Hansen's making my day way better with these new soft and swirly King's Hawaiian cinnamon bites. Taylor Hansen? Nice.

• 1:06:54Connor Wood?

  Try one.

• 1:06:55Speaker 07

  Mmm.

  King's Hawaiian cinnamon bites. There's nothing like it.
