  Hey, I'm Niall Rogers. This fall, I'll be driving across the country, meeting some of today's coolest and most fascinating artists. We'll explore the stories before the moments that changed everything. Because every musician remembers the moment where it all began. Experience Before the Moment, a Lincoln Original Series on the iHeart Radio app, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

• 0:32Speaker 01

  Coming to you live from the Boats Nation headquarters, it's the Boats Report, joined by our host, Chris A. Rockin.

• 0:41Brittany Broski?

  I'm back!

• 0:56Brittany Broski?

  Guys, oh my god, I'm back! Did you miss me? Guys, it has been so long, but at the same time, not that long at all. I took my break in May, and it is now, this is Halloween, everybody make a scene.

• 1:21Brittany Broski?

  You know? Okay, so much has changed. We got new intro, we've got new photo shoot, we've got new sound effect board.

• 1:42Brittany Broski?

  We've got a new sound effect board. Okay, so I feel like it was just time for a revamp. All the stuff was old, the format was tired, old. I was like, what do I not like about doing this? And so we've changed it up, we've switched it up a little bit. And there's a huge plane flying overhead. Hope y'all don't mind, hope y'all don't mind about that. So much to talk about, we've got new intro. I have so much that has happened. Things are happening all of the time. And before we get into that, there is something I really need to touch on, and that is, there is, it's a medical update. And it's a medical update. And it's nothing to be alarmed about, just something that, you know, I am living with chronically. And that is, for the last week and a half,

• 2:26Brittany Broski?

  there has been a booger in the forward frontal lobe of my nasal cavity that I do believe, first of its kind, has crystallized into a kind of bone material. It is now a part of my skeletal makeup. And I am really happy to unveil that here today to the medical community watching, because I know you guys are out there. This booger has become a part of me. And I pick it, every morning I pick it. And without fail, it takes out a little bit, it takes out a nose hair and a little bit of my brain. Okay, and I pick it, ah, ah, ah! And then I, of course, inspect it. Did you guys miss me? I inspect it, and there is, there are bone fragments in it.

• 3:09Brittany Broski?

  So if anyone could, you know, you know how when you have to do a poop sample, like a stool sample, you like shit in a bucket and then you have to mail it off somewhere? Or you have to like, drop it off at your doctor's office? I'm hoping to do that via mail for my bone booger. Because it hurts so damn bad, and it keeps coming back. So if anyone could help me there, that's just something I need to get out of the way. So much to discuss. There is a lot of media, a lot of occurrences, a lot of happenings, a lot of side quests that I've really been doing. And my voice is hoarse, if you can, if you can tell. Because yesterday, I did go to Disney, and I was off, you know, a 5-milligram edible.

• 3:54Brittany Broski?

  And I rode Tower of Terror, and it scared me so bad that I screamed my voice to silence. Like, I was fully mute last night. So this is what we've come back with, and I just, you know, want to manage expectations there. So, let's go ahead and talk about, let's get into it, okay? We've got a lot of new segments, a lot of new fun stuff, a lot of new things I think you guys are really gonna like, really gonna like, okay? So let's get into it. And before we do that, there's just a thought that I had earlier that I would like to share with everyone, unrelated to absolutely anything. The threat of quicksand, as we all know it,

• 4:37Brittany Broski?

  as a child, never really came to fruition. The threat of the Bermuda Triangle, I've never had to treat as a real issue in my life the way that I thought I was going to have to. But this is a thought that I had the other day, that I do have a game plan here. Because when it comes to Bermuda Triangle, and yeah, I'm tucking my jacket under my boobs because it's sweaty. It's sweaty in here, okay? And what they're not saying is that it's been a boob sweat summer. It's been a boob sweat, crack sweat summer. And crack sweat is something that every person on planet Earth is intimately familiar with, but it's just your comfortability of letting people know that you're a crack sweater, okay? And I'm a crack sweater, all, every crack, every crevice, I'm sweating there.

• 5:20Brittany Broski?

  So, just get that out of the way. Anyway, back to the quicksand. A threat that I, again, probably won't ever come to fruition, but this time, I'm ready, I have a battle plan. If I were ever to be encased in gelatin, if I ever were to become encased in gelatin, I know what to do. Because what a lot of people don't know about gelatin, you have to create, and, say it with me, air pocket, okay? Create an air pocket when you're in gelatin. If I was in gelatin, I would just do this. I would just shove it with like, the bottom of my palms. And I would create an air pocket around my mouth, and I would cup it like this. And I would create a little bubble that I could breathe. Because there is air in there, I don't think,

• 6:05Brittany Broski?

  I don't believe gelatin is airtight. And we can look that up. Is gelatin airtight? Gelatin is not inherently airtight on its own. But dry powdered gelatin needs to be stored in an airtight container to protect it from moisture and odors. Okay, I'm getting it. So yes, it's not airtight. So if I'm encased in it, okay, and I'm just, I could find the strength, I could, three, two, one, muster the strength to pull my arms through, and depending on how viscous the gelatin is, pull my arms towards my torso, shove forward, and you know, the more you move, the more the gelatin kind of, I don't know where it goes, but I could create an airtight pocket, and I could breathe.

• 6:48Brittany Broski?

  So just keep that in mind if you're ever encased in gelatin. Okay, let's go ahead and get into it, guys.

• 6:57Brittany Broski?

  And I do have my comfort squish. I do, this is, this is my little girl, okay? This is my crunchy butter squish.

• 7:07Brittany Broski?

  Dude.

• 7:09Brittany Broski?

  And there's little, I don't know what the hell bullshit they put in here, but I do want to chew on it. This is like beads? It's beads in slime that they put into the butter casing. The butter casing, okay? And the butter casing is, this is the most satisfying squishy I've ever owned. And you can tell because I rubbed that bitch off. I rubbed all the lettering off. It used to say butter, with the little like markings, gone. Within 20 minutes, I rubbed that bitch raw, it's gone. The thing about a squish like this is there's always like, a mystery pub that's attached to the squish. There's a mystery pub that finds its way onto the squish's skin. And it's not mine, it's not, because I would, it's not mine.

• 7:53Brittany Broski?

  And it begs the question, whose is it? And where did it come from? And there's, oh, you know what I'm talking about, dude. Guys, raise your hand if you know what I'm talking about. There's always like, a hair that's not, it's not from me, that's attached to a squish. Maybe it's an eyebrow hair, maybe it's an eyelash, maybe it's, maybe it is a pub. I don't know what you guys are doing in your homes. This, I, every time, I'm like, ugh! And I pick it off and I act like I didn't see it, okay? But this is my butter squish, my squish! Love it. Because there is a, look, there is a ratio. There is a ratio when it comes to squishies about what needs to go in it, and how much air needs to be in it, and how stretchy it needs to be, and how thick the squish skin is, okay?

• 8:37Brittany Broski?

  And I am going to reference this meme that I sent to about every single person I know when it came across my desk, and my desk is my Instagram explore page. And it said, my cousin, I'm going to misquote it, actually, I'm going to find it.

• 8:52Brittany Broski?

  Okay, I didn't find the exact meme I was looking for, and I'll get to what it says in a minute. But I did find r/dispicableme. And the top line of this Reddit thread is "Silly research regarding minion skin texture."

• 9:08Brittany Broski?

  "There are two questions that have been plaguing our world for centuries. One, what is life? And two, what texture does minion skin have?" So I've decided to do this silly little research. And so far, I've gotten all kinds of answers from texture of a balloon, through texture of a slimy yoga ball, to texture of a potato dumpling, and many more. And I'm, look, I'm of the camp that says it's thick like a boar's skin, okay? And this is the Instagram meme I saw. It was like, my cousin was doing minion research experiments back in the 80s, before that shit was legal. And they cut into one of them, and he says he'll never forget it.

• 9:51Brittany Broski?

  It was, it was thick, like a boar's skin. Not slimy, dry. And I laughed so fucking hard at that meme, I sent it to every person I know. So, operating under this kind of understanding that minion skin is probably thick like a boar's, meaning like, a small needle couldn't pierce it. It would have to be what they use to tranquilize gorillas, okay? And I do believe a minion would sit about, what, three foot, four foot tall? It would take a lot to tranquilize it, to try to neutralize one of those things? Yeah, good fucking luck, pal. All right, let's see what the people are saying. "I think their skin texture is the same as a dolphin."

• 10:33Brittany Broski?

  Someone responded, "This, probably more like a stingray. Their skin is firm."

• 10:41Brittany Broski?

  "Guys, it's like a banana peel. Why do you think they like them so much?" Someone responded and said, "Precisely. And they are yellow like bananas, and light behaves similarly with their skin how it does with banana peel."

• 11:00Brittany Broski?

  Someone else said, "Oxygen is optional to them, so I guess it is a unique texture." "I'm realizing their lips aren't always defined. So are their lips similar thickness and/or texture to their main skin?"

• 11:19Brittany Broski?

  What do you mean you're spending a lot of time looking at the difference in texture between a minion lip and a minion's skin?

• 11:31Brittany Broski?

  Someone else just says rubber.

• 11:34Brittany Broski?

  Maybe foam. Stress ball filled with liquid foam. I feel like they would have a coat of mucus on their skin. No, because they're not shiny. Minions are not shiny. See, they're not shiny at all. Look, this is a youth. This is Bob, the youth. And he's got that heterochromia. Is that what it's called? Heterochromia going on? Heterochromia, a rare condition where a person has different colored eyes. I'm a genius. This is a rare one. If you were gonna do experiments on minions, pick, pick the youth. He has two different colored eyes and his skin is not, it looks like if you were to grab minion arms like this and squeeze, I don't believe there would be bone. Do minions have skeletons?

• 12:18Brittany Broski?

  No, minions do not have traditional bones or a rigid skeletal system.

• 12:25Brittany Broski?

  No, minions do not have bones or a rigid skeletal system. Thank you, Google, for that answer. Okay. Always imagined it's similar to a Beluga whale head. Firm, but squishy and painless to squish. Yes, yes, dude. Yes, I've been saying this. It's like, have you ever seen those videos where people are like, whatever they're doing? They're like kneading biscuits on top of a Beluga whale, Beluga whale wed. Hello? Beluga whale, Beluga whale head. Beluga whale head. And honey, I would know one or two things about a Beluga whale head. I've got one. And there is a sort of, whatever the texture of like a fupa is, very similar to a Beluga whale head.

• 13:08Brittany Broski?

  It's not hurting me when you knead biscuits on it, but I don't like it. I don't necessarily like it. Okay? It's not painful, but it's uncomfortable. More from a mental standpoint. If someone came up and like jiggled my, my fupa skin, I'd be like, okay, I'm not in pain, but it hurts in a different way. It hurts in the way of, why would you ever do that to me? So, think about that.

• 13:34Brittany Broski?

  Let's move on. I, I would like to settle on the fact that maybe, maybe boar skin is a bit too rough and mature for what the majority of the age range of these minions are. And again, they could be, you know, immortal, who knows? I do believe they're immortal. I think that it would be something similar to a Beluga whale. We'll go with Beluga whale. All right. Let's get into the stuff that I actually needed to talk about today.

• 14:01Brittany Broski?

  Let's get into the stuff that is necessary to talk about. Okay. Oh, and I've got this, I've got a good one on the soundboard for when we talk about some scary stuff.

• 14:14Speaker 03

  Hi, my name is Carmen Winstead.

• 14:16Speaker 04

  Hi, my name is Carmen Winstead.

• 14:22Speaker 00

  Hey, it's Nile Rodgers, host of Before the Moment, a Lincoln original series. I'm driving across the country, meeting some of today's most fascinating artists. We're exploring the stories before the moment that changed everything. This week, I'm joined by my friend, John Legend. How does music actually enter your mind?

• 14:45Speaker 05

  I'm not sure why or how the music comes to me, but I think people who love music and write music, our brains are just filled with music.

• 14:54Speaker 00

  Right.

• 14:55Speaker 05

  Like, we have listened to so much music. We've been a part of so much music. I think of the story that I want to tell, the mood that I want to create with the music, start playing chords, see where they lead me.

• 15:06Speaker 00

  Sometimes I'm just not even thinking about music, right? And I hear this little thing and I go, oh, that could be this.

• 15:16Speaker 05

  You know, you just have to be ready for when the inspiration hits.

• 15:19Speaker 00

  It comes.

• 15:20Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 15:20Speaker 00

  Experience Before the Moment, a Lincoln original series on the iHeartRadio app, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

• 15:31Brittany Broski?

  Okay, we're gonna talk about House of the Dragon.

• 15:51Brittany Broski?

  House of the Dragon. Okay. So there's actually so much to talk about because I haven't been able to talk about this since 2025, okay? September 2025, I get a call. Hello? Hello? It's Mr. HBO. Mr. HBO says, would you like to not only help host the red carpet for House of the Dragon, season three premiere, but we're thinking of this whole idea, ridiculous, of Brittany coming to the set as like an official quote unquote Westerosi correspondent and

• 16:33Brittany Broski?

  coming to the set, interviewing the whole cast and doing like a, you know, walk around Fleabottom with me. And I'm literally, my team tells me this and I go, oh, one second. Oh my God! Oh my God!

• 16:52Brittany Broski?

  And then I filled my diaper because what are you talking about? What are you talking about? Sure, let's just go to Dragonstone. Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no problem. I'll just go to Dragonstone. I'll sit at the painted table. I'll like go ahead and just live the cosplay of my dreams. Yeah, that's actually no problem at all. That's no problem at all. So we do it. And so I literally like, it's such an out of body experience the whole time because it's like from season, obviously, House of the Dragon is a prequel to Game of Thrones. So all of these sets and the locations and the iconic things that are throughout the whole show, it's now in front of me and I'm there. I'm in Harrenhal, I'm in the Sept, I'm in King's Landing, I'm in Fleabottom, I'm at

• 17:36Brittany Broski?

  the fucking like painted table, I'm at the God's Woodtree. Like, there are so many iconic, it just like in your head as a fan, you never, if it's done right, okay? If a show like this, a high fantasy political drama is done well, which it is, you don't even think about, oh, that's a set. It's just like, that's real. To me, that is real. Dragonstone, the painted table, obviously that's old and archaic and that's where shit gets done. That's where shit gets handled. The ancestral seat of House Targaryen? Yeah, of course that's there. Never thought about it being a set. Never thought about it being on a lot somewhere. Okay?

• 18:19Brittany Broski?

  So we pull up in September of last year and I can't talk about it at all. We've all signed NDAs. I can't like, we're there on a super secret Broski Nation special ops mission, me, Stanley and Elizabeth, and we go. And it's this like truly unbelievable, unparalleled, like the attention to detail on these sets. And not only, not even to get to the fact, I'll get to it in a second, of I interviewed Aegon and Lord Corlys. Hey, the kindest people on planet Earth. We'll get to that in a second. Just walking around the sets, it's like the care and love that goes into this show is like one of the top five reasons that I love it so much. And after everything that's happened this year between like interviewing Matt Smith

• 19:04Brittany Broski?

  and doing the carpet and like all of these legacy people that it, the show just means so much to me because it, it's a summation of everything I love about escapism and entertainment. And obviously, Royal Court is deeply, deeply inspired by my love of Game of Thrones and this high fantasy medieval, just a place to completely immerse yourself in, to, to lose track of time and space and just be there. The only thing that's real is when you're there, you know? What a year it's been for like, not only House of the Dragon fans, but Broski Nation House of the Dragon fans. So, all that being said, we're walking around the sets.

• 19:48Brittany Broski?

  Obviously, I'm doing bits, I'm WoJacking in front of like whatever, I'm, I'm hitting the gritty in front of the Harrenhal, like, you know, big table. And then we finally get to interview Steve Toussaint and Tom Glenn Carney in front of the painted table in Dragonstone. And it's just, it's a dream. It's a dream. And it also proved to us as a team, like a crew for Royal Court, that we can take it on the road because up to that point, we'd never done anything like that before. And so like watching the show kind of have its own life and, you know, take different forms and have it be moldable is really, really exciting. It was an exciting B-side of all this. So just, holy shit. Thank you, HBO. And thank you, George R.R. Martin and what the fuck?

• 20:33Brittany Broski?

  Because that was truly like, it was an unbelievable, once in a lifetime experience and I'll never forget it. I'll never get over it. In fact, because it's been such an insane, like monumental, life-changing year, I, I'm gonna probably get Dark Sister tattooed. Dark Sister is Daemon Targaryen's sword. Hello, hello. I'm probably gonna get it tattooed. And yeah, I would like to talk about the fact that in one of these videos, when I'm on set, the HBO team was like, let's, could we do a little social clip where, and I just hit a crazy, sorry about that. Whatever the hell's in my throat, sorry. And that felt good. That felt good.

• 21:19Brittany Broski?

  So, we're walking through Dragonstone and they're like, could you do a video basically recontextualizing us geopolitically speaking of where we're at at the start of season three? So like, you know, the High Towers and Old Town and Tumbleton or like everyone's converging on Tumbleton and the Targaryens or whatever, and like Aemons at Harrenhal and whatever. I was like, totally. They hand me a sword. And I was like, okay, great. And so I use it to start pointing and I don't look at it close enough. And I go in the video, hey, guys, what's up? I'm here with Dark Sister in Dragonstone, da, da, da. And I start pointing at stuff at the table. All the comments? You fucking idiot.

• 22:02Brittany Broski?

  You fu, who let this buffoon on the set? That is black fire. That's clearly black fire.

• 22:14Brittany Broski?

  Well, and obviously, looking at it now, you're correct, but in the moment, they had handed me a sword and I said, oh, thank you for Dark Sister. And I just went, I just kind of ran with it. Okay, so I'm now humiliated. Who let this fucking, I'm liking the comments, who let this boob on set, this complete bonehead on set to tell everyone about what's happening with the area of that fucking Dark Sister and not black fire?

• 22:38Brittany Broski?

  I said, I'm sorry. So I'd like to apologize. So, uh, and also on the season two carpet, I said something, I, I asked someone a question about Vagar. And I had in my, you know, negligent ignorance, misgendered Vagar. I had called Vagar a, a man. I said, Vagar, he, we all know he is the biggest dragon. Here come the commenters. He's a fucking idiot. Vagar's a woman. Vagar's the oldest, biggest dragon alive. Other than Vermithor, the secular largest dragon alive. I said, oh my God, you're right.

• 23:19Brittany Broski?

  Because guess what? I'm kind of in that camp as well. I border on the fringe of like super, I've got one foot in the super nerd. Like I know way more than the average Game of Thrones fan, but I'm not that level. I'm not the top tier level where I'm commenting on stuff. Who let this idiot on set? That is Vagar. She is a woman. Right? And so a part of me is like, that's hilarious and you're right. And then the other part of me is like, oh my God.

• 23:48Brittany Broski?

  It's a very, you know, delicate, it's, it's a, it's a delicate frame of mind. Anyway, I'm laughing. I'm laughing, I'm laughing. So, uh, yeah. House of the Dragon, just all of it. Matt Smith is so lovely. He's so British in the best way. And so I just like, what a, what a great guy. What a fun time. I love, just, you guys know, I love a witty man. So witty, so fun. Uh, need to have about 15 to 20 Guinesses with him sometime. So that was great. Then, okay. Night of the Seven Kingdoms, we don't even need to talk about it because it comes back next year, I'm pretty sure. Yeah, I'm sad. Yeah, I'm sad. Peter Claffey, do you want to come on Royal Court? Peter Claffey, do you want to have 30

• 24:32Brittany Broski?

  Guinesses? Let me know. Just let me know. My Instagram DMs are, you know, they're public and you guys certainly utilize that. And I want you to know, any message you send me, probably about 65% of the time, I see it. I see it. I don't respond, but I see it and they make me giggle. And, uh, yeah, just know that. So Night of the Seven Kingdoms, very excited. Let's move on. Let's talk about, um, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.

• 25:04Brittany Broski?

  Okay. Five star. Immediate five star on Letterboxd. The Odyssey? What a ride. I saw it twice. What a ride. I wish we saw a little bit more of The Sirens. Okay. That's my one, one critique. I would have liked to see a mermaid. I would have liked to really see a close up of a mermaid. Matt Damon, that's my Odysseus. That is my Bostonian Jason Bourne Odysseus. What a fantastic movie. Very well cast. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Uh, sound design unparalleled, incredible. And then Matt Damon and Hathaway on Royal Court. Sure. Hey, sure. Just like, okay.

• 25:46Brittany Broski?

  So many things happened this summer where I'm like, reflect, I was typing everything up and trying to reflect on what the hell have I been doing? And it's just, like, it's, it's unbelievable doesn't even cover it. It is, I never thought, I never thought. And there is a part of me that's like, in a world post Harry Styles on Royal Court, what's there to look forward to? What's there to, okay, I don't care about anything because what I wanted to happen, happened. Matt Damon and Hathaway on Royal Court, I'd care about. I actually, well, of course I care about it all, but it's like, I just, it keeps getting better and I didn't know it could. So every, every day is a journey. Every day I open two gifts and they're my fucking eyes. God bless and thank you. So

• 26:31Brittany Broski?

  just wow. Like two of the loveliest, loveliest people I've ever had the pleasure of interviewing. Deeply funny, deeply professional, like consummate professionals. And, uh, yeah, what, what an incredible movie and press run and just a win for the film community. Truly, truly a win. Big fat dub. In the vein of Nolan, I kind of went back and watched a few, both Nolan and Robert Eggers, I watched, uh, a lot of their filmography. Well, I watched all of Eggers, but Nolan, I went back and watched The Prestige. Okay. Hugh Jackman, Christopher, Christopher Bale, Christian, Christian Bale, Christopher Robin, um, um, Christopher Robin, Kris Jenner.

• 27:14Brittany Broski?

  I watched The Prestige. What a movie. And you know Nolan loves to fuck with time like that, like nothing's ever linear. Everything's like, here's a flashback and then here's this and here's whatever. It makes for an interesting, uh, I'm definitely like paying attention the whole time. The reveal at the end? Holy shit. What a movie. What a movie. Really enjoyed that. What's next on the list? Oh my God, I watched Citizen Kane. I've never seen it. And I feel like Citizen Kane is one of those movies, not to bring the minions up again. But

• 27:50Brittany Broski?

  but the minions really have permeated, uh, you know, my understanding of pop culture. And it's one of those things too, where when something becomes immortalized through different, through like satirical media, like The Simpsons, SpongeBob, you know, even, uh, like Rick and Morty minions, it just proves its kind of immortality within this space, that that piece of media has affected everything so deeply that it will always be remembered because it's now been memed. And, uh, two things that come to mind as an example of that is Nosferatu, like SpongeBob knows fraud too, whatever. And then Citizen Kane. I never understood

• 28:35Brittany Broski?

  all those references of like the black and white and like Xanadu and whatever. And now I do. And it's hilarious. So Citizen Kane, I watched it on a plane. Uh, and I'd always heard, you know, like Orson Welles, this and that, whatever. And he's just one of those figures of the golden age of Hollywood where I was like, I probably should know who that is, but I don't. I watched it. I loved it. I loved that movie. So, I mean, wow. And then it kind of started me on this, this, uh, journey back through a bunch of those movies where I added a bunch to my watch list that I'm gonna get through, but Citizen Kane, wow, really, really, really good. And obviously, uh, you don't need me to say that because it's, it's

• 29:18Brittany Broski?

  like, one of the greatest films ever made, probably. And bruh, he was 26. Orson Welles wrote, directed and starred in this fuck ass movie. He was 26? Wow. What have you done today? What have you done today? I, I've been thinking about rebranding as a millennial BuzzFeed, um, employee. And the next time you see me, I'm gonna have like an infinity scarf and I'm gonna have like a mug that says, you have the same number of hours in a day as Beyonce, honey. Like that shit, really, really massive for the culture, uh, of white women. You know, like white women really, that was peak for, for white ladies in corporate America. You

• 29:59Brittany Broski?

  have the same number of days. I slay. Fierce. Like all that whole era. Wow, wow, wow.

• 30:08Brittany Broski?

  Wow. So yeah, I've been thinking about that a lot recently is, uh, I mean, I'm 29. I turned 29. And I've definitely, I've, I've definitely done some, some stuff I'm very proud of, but it is moments like that where, oh, you were 26. Oh, okay. Right. Got it. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.

• 33:42Brittany Broski?

  thing. Practical magic. Got a lot to say about this. Thank you Nicole Kidman, Sandra Bullock for coming on Royal Court. What the fuck? Wha- what?

• 33:54Speaker 00

  Huh?

• 33:55Brittany Broski?

  What are you talking about Nicole Kidman, Sandra Bullock on Royal Court? We come to this place for magic. Yeah, we do. Practical magic too. I can't believe that happened. And so I watched Practical Magic for the first time a few months ago, actually. And then when this came about, like, oh, you know, they're doing press for the second one. I was like, huh? Oh, oh, I didn't, I didn't know this was an option. I didn't know you could have Sandra Bullock on your show. I didn't know that that actually could be something that would, would happen, maybe. And, and did. And did. Unbelievable. So in that vein, obviously, like, I'm doing all this research on

• 34:36Brittany Broski?

  the, the ladies, and then we're having some other guests on soon that have put me down this rabbit hole, not even a rabbit hole, but down the line of thinking of like aging, right? Like, what is it to be an aging woman in Hollywood? And not even old, not even older, just, we're all aging. And it's this constant, you know, the internet makes fun of people with lion face and this and whatever, and 21 year olds getting Botox and the videos of the middle school girls going to Sephora and using retinoids and like all this shit. It's like, there is something obviously deeply wrong. There is a sickness, there is a plague of a fear of aging that I've talked about before on this podcast.

• 35:17Brittany Broski?

  But I now, I've almost been radicalized to all of this over the last year because it's no longer a fear or even a fascination. It is now an excitement. And I mean that in the most genuine way. Like, I texted Drew the other day and I was like, just thought about going through menopause together and started crying because I can't wait to have, like, not for menopause, but I cannot wait to experience every phase, every chapter of womanhood with my girls.

• 35:54Brittany Broski?

  Like, what a privilege to my community, to grow old together and be able to commiserate and laugh and reflect and like, why would I ever deny myself that privilege? You know, and there's so much to say around that. And while I do believe in taking care of yourself and like wearing sunscreen and staying hydrated and all those things, almost not as a preventative, but to age the process? So many thoughts on, I've completely released this opinion or idea that I need to stop the aging process, you know? Oh, when I'm 50, I'll just get a facelift. Oh, when I'm this, when I'm whatever. I just, I have no interest in it anymore.

• 36:38Brittany Broski?

  Like, I'm excited to get older and I'm excited to have all the wisdom and the experience that, that comes with, that accompanies it, you know? Like, I'm just, I'm over it because a woman's youth, when you really, not to be the woker, but when you zoom out and it's like, what is the fascination with youth? Oh, it's kind of rooted in like pedophilia. A little bit, a little bit. I don't want to cling on to my youth for that. I want to be with someone who is okay dating a 30 year old. And I hope that they're 32. You know what I mean? It's, it's, I've completely flipped to the other side where not only am I excited about aging, I'm embracing it.

• 37:19Brittany Broski?

  So that's kind of a, a, something that, you know, just these ladies in Hollywood that have been brave enough to put themselves in the, the public eye and therefore have everything conceivable about themselves picked apart by the general public. Like, whoa, whoa, you know? So that's just the thoughts I've been having recently. I watched Crazy Rich Asians, top 10 rom coms ever. And yes, I'd never seen it. No, I'd never seen it. Everyone's like, oh, that's my favorite plane comfort movie.

• 37:58Brittany Broski?

  That's my comfort movie on a plane. Okay, I'd never seen it. Crazy Rich Asians, loved it. Love, five stars. Completely, completely loved it. Uh, what a good ending. And it was so wonderfully cast and I just really, I cried. I really, really loved it. So I've just never seen it. I'm trying to work my way through, through movies I've never seen. So when I'm on a plane and it's like, you know, I, I go through all the stuff they have on there because usually they have bangers. Where was I flying the other day? I was on some flight the other day and they had Robert Downey Jr. Sherlock Holmes on demand. What? This was for me and you guys did that for me and I really appreciate that because I

• 38:39Brittany Broski?

  don't really know who else is at this moment in time, yearning for the 2009 Robert Downey Jr. Sherlock Holmes, the way that I am. I watched that movie probably seven times a year, but not an exaggeration. I have a tattoo, the game is afoot. I love him and I love him as Sherlock Holmes. I love Jude Law as John. I love, like, come on. So watching that, I said, oh, they did this for me and I really appreciate that. And if you haven't seen it, just go see it. Come watch it. It's fun. It's fun. I love RDJ. I love RDJ so much. Okay, next, backgrooms and obsession.

• 39:21Brittany Broski?

  Holy shit. What a win for internet people. 2026, year of the internet creative. Oh my God. And that really was, I feel like a talking point over the summer of, look what beautiful art that's relevant and successful and chart topping and record breaking can be made if you give the means of production to the youth. You know, like this old Hollywood system is crumbling. It is crumbling, late night crumbling before our eyes. Like, what was it? That stat that was like, only 25 projects got greenlit for 2025 or some bullshit like that? Like, wow, you're, we're now realizing you don't need that.

• 40:04Brittany Broski?

  Like, just things are changing and culture is so, it's very exciting to watch it change this quickly and to realize, obviously, Gen Z controls what is popular, what is, and not only Gen Z, but active internet fanbases control what is popular online. It is so democratic now and it's just so wonderful. It is wonderful to watch this revolution happen and I, I can't wait for more of it. So yeah, love, obviously loved obsession, laughed my fucking ass off. The part when he calls the helpline and he's like, I need to reverse it, I need to reverse it. He, he calls the number and he answers, sup? Hilarious. I'm laughing. Like, what a way to cut the tension in the room.

• 40:49Brittany Broski?

  And I saw it with Stanley. We went and saw it in a theater and it was so, I literally had a moment where I like sat up in my chair and looked around at a part where everyone was laughing and I said, oh, this is what it's all about.

• 41:01Brittany Broski?

  Oh, yeah, this is what it's all about. Cinema is so fucking back. So loved that. I rewatched Beauty and the Beast. I love Beauty and the Beast because guess what? What, what have I talked about before? It's the original, one of the original enemies to lovers in like the most visceral way. And it stands the test of time. It stands the test of time. And when he transforms back into a human?

• 41:25Brittany Broski?

  And when he transforms back into a human? Suddenly I'm not horny anymore.

• 41:31Brittany Broski?

  Oh, he's a human? I like, could you go back to Beauty and the Beast? I don't, it's something about, you know, it's the same in Barbie and the Nutcracker. I like you better as a nutcracker. I don't, you don't need to be a man. You don't need to, that meme that was like,

• 41:49Brittany Broski?

  the wrench from Bob the Builder, would.

• 41:53Brittany Broski?

  Or was it Manny, Manny? Would, right? But the wrench from Bob the Builder. Rusty Handy Manny. Yes, Handy Manny.

• 42:05Brittany Broski?

  When people were like, my Hear Me Outs and they did fucking Rusty from Handy Manny.

• 42:17Brittany Broski?

  A wrench with eyebrows, would. Would, he would take care of you. He would provide. He's a blue collar provider. Okay? Beast from Beauty and the Beast, would. Nutcracker from Barbie and the Nutcracker, would. And if you don't get it, I don't have to explain it. I'm not explaining it. Okay? Cause that's, that's something that is like, that's community. Like, that's found family. If you're looking at Rusty from Handy Manny and you're like, yeah. Okay? You can't explain family. Okay, here we go, here we go. Ready? I have now seen, like I mentioned before, every single Robert Eggers film, other than that short he did for, uh, he did Hansel and Gretel, which is like a silent, black and white film. Obviously I need to lock into that and it's, I found it on YouTube. I'm just gonna watch it.

• 43:02Brittany Broski?

  I've seen every Eggers film. It is, uh, The Lighthouse with Robert Pattinson, Willem Dafoe. What a ride. What a movie, dude. I, I'd never seen it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Like so many, oh my God, there's one scene with the seagull, if y'all have seen it, when he's outside with the seagull on the rock. Oh my God. Like, there were so many moments in that movie where I just, I, I turned to Stanley and I was like, duh. And he was like, I know, I know. So Lighthouse, I watched The Witch. I watched that, I think, last year. Anya Taylor Joy's breakout role, incredible. The Witch was spooky boots. It was spook. I don't know. Like, I, I did not know that that was gonna be all that. Okay?

• 43:47Brittany Broski?

  They like the taste of butter. I didn't know. Then I watched The Northman, Alexander Skarsgård. Oh my God. So violent and in a, a good way, right? It was just so, and there's this scene at the end that's very, uh, it's over Anakin, I've got the high ground. It was very giving that. Uh, but wow, one of the most violent visceral films I've seen in a long time. Enjoyed it. Probably wasn't my favorite, but I think I gave it like four stars. And then of course Nosferatu. And I say all this because Robert Eggers Werewolf comes out, it comes out in December and I'm just like, I'm a bit worried about how annoying I'm going to be when it comes out.

• 44:33Brittany Broski?

  And on, by the way, whatever that was.

• 44:39Brittany Broski?

  When you get so excited, you start grunting.

• 44:43Brittany Broski?

  It's pooped. There is a Nosferatu fragrance that Heretic Parfum did, and y'all know I'm a huge fan of Heretic. They did a Nosferatu fragrance that's like, it's, it is so unique and it's got that petricor note, if any of y'all like that. It's very like rainy, soil coffin, a bit of metal, but it's still wearable. Like, they are so good at doing these niche scents. And I really, really hope they do one for Werewolf, because lots to play with there. I like, and I don't love an animalic scent, so if they do one, I hope it's not animalic, but I'm excited for the sensory experience of a Werewolf collab with Heretic. Please

• 45:27Brittany Broski?

  do it, please do it, bro. Begging. Okay, we need to talk about some other things that have happened, just now that I, I'm back with y'all. Okay, first and foremost, La Rosalia.

• 45:47Brittany Broski?

  What? How about this? I wake up, I wake up one morning, I roll over, I grab my phone, text from someone on Rosalia's team who got my number through a mutual friend and said, "Hi, Rosie's doing a show in San Diego and she would like you to be the guest that comes out during the confessional." Basically, you tell a story about a man that wronged you, or a time, it's for La Perla, which is about like a player, like any time that maybe you've been the player, you've been played, whatever. And I was like, "Oh, my fucking god." Obviously screamed, screamed, cried, like shit in my hand, started clapping.

• 46:29Brittany Broski?

  I, I was so like, "Okay, right, right, right, right, right, right." And obviously, I knew who I was gonna tell the story about, and obviously, you guys probably know who I was gonna tell the story about. And so it happens, and I had so much fun putting together my outfit. I was like, "I wanna, I wanna dress like a saint, and I wanna do the like Catholic veil and everything." And so I did my own makeup, I did these little like crystal teardrops for, "Mio Cristo piange di amante, piange, piange di amante." I have chills, I just gave myself chills. I love that song. I love Rosalia! And so I came and I did it, and she's so nice. She's so nice. I genuinely can't believe

• 47:14Brittany Broski?

  it. And she like shouted me out in a way that I, to this day, I'm like, "Hey, I can't believe that happened." Sometimes it'll randomly pop into my head as I'm doing the dishes, or like getting gas or something. I'm like, Rosalia said that like, she really appreciates me being a lifelong fan. Cause I obviously have Motomami tattooed. Like, that album means so much to me. Rosalia means so much to me. I think she is a true artist, capital A. And like, what she managed to do with Lux, and I talked about this with Harry, of like, an artist that they have no choice, almost, like golden handcuffs, they have to make this piece of art. That's what Lux felt like with Rosalia. Like, that is from the

• 47:56Brittany Broski?

  deep bowels of her soul, and it is something so honest, so authentic, and so well done, well executed, her taste level, but people are going to be studying it. It is the new standard. Like, I just have so many compliments to shower her with, and I mean every single one, very genuinely. And so her bringing me out on stage and saying, like, she has been such a fan for so long, and like, I, you know, especially in a market like America, where for, I feel like the longest time, it's been Bad Bunny, who's been the reigning, you know, Latin artist that has kind of captivated this country's attention and fascination.

• 48:38Brittany Broski?

  And Rosalia is Spanish, of course, and that whole controversy of like, winning a Latin Grammy because the Grammys don't have a category for, you know, it's just whatever. Like, her artistry, I'm, I'm honored to be even in that conversation of like, if I helped introduce people to Rosalia, wow. My privilege to do that, truly. So, yeah, she just thanked me and it was so unbelievable. And then we did the little confessional and I told my little story about when I had been somebody's sugar mama and it was fucking awful, and then we broke up. And, yeah, and then I went back into the crowd and finished

• 49:19Brittany Broski?

  the rest of the concert. It was unreal. It was unreal. Like, truly a highlight, highlight of my life. I can't believe it. So, what's next?

• 49:30Speaker 00

  Hey, it's Nile Rodgers, host of Before the Moment, a Lincoln original series. I'm driving across the country, meeting some of today's most fascinating artists. We're exploring the stories before the moment that changed everything. This week, I'm joined by breakout singer-songwriter Alex Warren.

• 49:51Speaker 06

  I had this dream of being a musician, and everyone I had known was kind of like, "You're not good at music, you know, you should probably have other things to back up, play whatever." Felt like I didn't have anyone close to me, and my wife had flown out to visit, and she found out I was sleeping in a car, she didn't know. And she was like, "Let's do it." And she slept in a car with me. And for the first time in my life, I realized that in a life full of what I thought was things happening to me, something was finally happening for me.

• 50:17Speaker 00

  Dude, that's like the most romantic shit I've ever heard.

• 50:20Speaker 06

  Coolest thing ever.

• 50:21Speaker 00

  Experience Before the Moment, a Lincoln original series on the iHeartRadio app, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

• 50:31Brittany Broski?

  Oh, let's do a quick little book club, um, cause I finished, I actually only finished two books over the summer, because, okay, Woman in White, so much to say about Woman in White, so much to say about Woman in White! Woman in White is my new, it is, does it rival The Secret History? Maybe. I think it might rival The Secret History. It might take the cake. I think I have three favorite books, and one of them has been my favorite since high school, so I might need to reread it and that might change. But knowing me, high school was very formative for my interests and who I am as a person, so it probably

• 51:12Brittany Broski?

  hasn't changed. That book is Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. I, that book changed something in me. It rewired my brain, it made me give a shit about art history and religious iconography and religious history and, you know, religious, the inner workings of a religion and the corruption within a religion and just all the things around art history. And albeit, it is a historical fiction, still a lot of truth in that book and a lot of, it was the first time that it ever made me think about science, the intersection of science and religion, as like a 15-year-old. It really, really changed me as a person, especially growing up in a church and then leaving the church. Like, it was just very formative for me. So I wonder if I were to read it back, would I feel the same? I probably would.

• 51:57Brittany Broski?

  Angels and Demons, The Secret History, Donna Tartt, that's my favorite book ever of all time. And Woman in White by Wilkie Collins, dude, dude, it might be the third, it might be my favorite book, because what this book manages to accomplish, there are so many stories within stories, and Wilkie Collins did this kind of epistolary narrative function, again, of it's, it's different firsthand accounts. It's a, almost an accumulation in like a legal fashion of legal evidence to be used in a trial, like affidavits almost. Of course, told in a more beautiful way, that's easy to follow, but it is like a main

• 52:41Brittany Broski?

  narrator, and then it hands off to another narrator, and then it's all these different little individual accounts, because what I thought this book was going to be, was a kind of ghost story. Cause you know, I'm on my Victorian kick, and this is, of course, a Victorian novel. I think it was published in the 1860s, but my god, it stands the test of time. It is so good. And the reason I love the Bronte sisters and just Victorian literature in general is because the art of painting with the English language and, and the canvas is a novel, I really feel, and maybe I'm not reading enough contemporary fiction, cause that's not really my vibe, but just no one does it, like those bitches

• 53:23Brittany Broski?

  from the 19th century. My god! It was just, I read sentences and I'm like, "How were you able to construct this?" I, I end up underlining them, cause they're just so beautiful, and it's such a wonderful, exciting way to communicate what she's trying to communicate, or, you know, whatever author it is. So, that being said, Woman in White is no exception. It is, Wilkie Collins's grasp of the English language is just so admirable and like enviable. And Woman in White is, it begins as a kind of mystery novel. There's this main character,

• 54:03Brittany Broski?

  Walter Hartwright, who is an art instructor, he's an art teacher, and he gets this job invite, job offer from a rural, uh, country home, where the uncle of the house, it's an uncle and his two nieces, he's looking for a new art master for them, to teach them watercolors and sketching and whatever. Well, Walter gets the job invite and he's like, "You know what? Fuck it. Okay, fine, I'll do it." So he's on his way out there, this is the very beginning of the book, and he's on this street, uh, late at night, and... He's walking, walking, walking, and he feels a hand on his shoulder. And he turns around and it is a woman, as you can imagine, all in white, very ghostly.

• 54:47Brittany Broski?

  And at first you're like, oh, this is an apparition. It's a ghost, you know, this is going to be the central theme of this story is, you know, why is this woman haunting him, whatever? No, no, no, no, no, no, could not be more wrong. What ensues is the most insane. It's not a murder mystery, but it's a mystery woven in with like attempted fraud and deception and like marrying for money, almost killing for money and a case of like outwitting each other, which I love a story like that. It's why I love Sherlock Holmes. It's why I love Pirates of the Caribbean, any of these movies where it's a game of

• 55:32Brittany Broski?

  wits, it's a battle of the wits. And what is that phenomenon called? When it's like you have no other option and suddenly something is pulled out of thin air? Okay, there's a few terms of what I'm thinking of here. At the end of Pirates of the Caribbean, the first one, it is a, is it called a deus ex machina? Is that how you say it? Or is it, I think it's deus ex machina. A sudden, unexpected concept, character, or event that abruptly solves an otherwise hopeless dead end situation. That happens at the end of Pirates of the Caribbean when, you know, Barbosa shoots Captain Jack and you think that he's dying, but really he's one of the zombie pirates too, because

• 56:16Brittany Broski?

  he stole a coin or he drank one of the, whatever. And so he doesn't die, right? That, and it's like, whoa, when did he do that? Cause you don't see him doing it on screen. That kind of thing. Why did I bring this up?

• 56:32Brittany Broski?

  Why did I bring this up? Anyway, woman in white, it's a huge journey. Okay? This is a beast of a book. It is 700 pages. I was fully engaged for every single page, but it is a lot of information. It's a lot of characters. It's a lot of accounts. It's a lot of timelines. And if you enjoy that kind of almost Agatha Christie, you know, Arthur Conan Doyle storytelling of like, and this happened here, but if you'll remember the, the resolution at the end of this book is very rare for novels of this kind, meaning that it resolves positively. And I'm not going to give any more details other than that because I really, really recommend you read it if you're into those kinds of books.

• 57:17Brittany Broski?

  This is truly a five star read for me, truly like favorite book ever. I cannot wait to reread it in a few years and see if it measures up. But wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Loved Woman in White. Now, immediately after Woman in White, I was like, I need to go back to romanticy. Okay? I need a romanticy palate cleanser. I opened Anathema and I saw a glossary of terms à la Clockwork Orange. I saw a map. I saw a family timeline and I went, hold on, hold on.

• 57:58Brittany Broski?

  Like it's just too long. Like, like I need to make it a little less long. You know what I mean? Oh my God. Oh my God. I do think that Anathema, I will get to it. Okay. Cause I bought Anathema and Fantasma. Very excited to read both of those when I'm back on my romanticy shit, but I'm not, I'm not back on my romanticy shit yet. I thought I was, I thought that's what I wanted and it's not what I wanted. So instead I opened this, it's a very short read. It's called Blind Owl. Now Blind Owl is a 1930s published Iranian surrealist novel.

• 58:37Brittany Broski?

  And y'all remember my fascination with madness, specifically female madness, but boy madness will do as well. And this details, this little novella details a man that is clearly experiencing some kind of, not psychosis, but like one foot in the real world, one foot out. He's got an opioid addiction. I don't know if alcohol was involved, but it explores this inner world of misery and longing and just unhingedness. Something is not right. And I have never read a book like this. I have never read a book.

• 59:22Brittany Broski?

  It is the ravings of a half suicidal, half murderous homicidal maniac that is just deeply unhappy and disturbed. And he's very important. I believe his name is Sadek Hadayat. I just butchered that. I'm so sorry. But he is a very famous Iranian author that I do believe ended up killing himself. But his works are very important to the Iranian discography of national literature. So first of its kind I've ever read. What a ride. Very short. I read it in one sitting and yeah, just wow.

• 1:00:03Brittany Broski?

  Cause I love anything, which is why I picked it up, that deals with this, you know, you're a little bit not there. You're a little bit here and a little bit not. And I enjoyed it. I can't say that it was a fun or delightful read, but it was very interesting, very intriguing. And I, I finished the book and I was like, what the hell? What the hell? So now I'm reading, I'm back on my Bronte shit. Hey, back on my.

• 1:00:41Brittany Broski?

  I'm back on my Anne Bronte shit. I'm reading The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Really loving it so far. Really, really loving it so far. Those Bronte sisters, they just know how to damn do it, don't they? They know how to do the damn thing. And The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is a story within a story. And it's about courting. You know, it's about a mysterious woman moves into the neighborhood and the, one of the men in the neighborhood really develops a fascination with her. And she will not reveal her backstory. She will not reveal why she is a widow with a single child, living in this old decrepit abandoned house. The landlord of the house will not give any details on his new tenant.

• 1:01:25Brittany Broski?

  And it becomes this, rumors start to swirl. And at the same time, the main character starts to kind of fall in love with her, but it's this state of limerence of like, do I love her or do I love that I can't figure her out? You know, and I want to be the one to figure her out. I need to make her trust me so I can figure it out. Now we're in the middle of it where we're learning about her backstory and bitch it's tea, it's tea. Very Regency era. I mean, they're talking about like for the season and the mamas and whatever. And I'm like, man, I'm glad I watched Bridgerton. So I know what the hell's going on here. Okay. And after I finished Tenant of Wildfell Hall, I'm going to finish my Bronte trifecta by finally reading Jane Eyre. Jane Eyre is a fucking beast of a book as well.

• 1:02:10Brittany Broski?

  I mean, it's like 800, 900 pages. How many pages is Jane Eyre? And the only thing I remember about Jane Eyre is there's a, there's, she's in the attic. Okay. She's in the attic and then there's like an unhappy marriage. That's all I can remember. How many pages in Jane Eyre? 532.

• 1:02:27Brittany Broski?

  But sometimes it goes up to 624. Awesome. It's just a beast of a book. So I might start that or I might go to Anathema. I don't know. But I was thinking about the feeling that I got from Night in the Moth. If y'all remember, I talked about that book a long time ago. It's like a Gothic, dark romanticy. Loved that book and I cannot wait for the second one. When does the second one come out? Night in the Knave? The Knave and the Moon? September 1st. It's out. Oh my God. Oh my God, it's out. Have to buy it. All right, I'm going to read it. Okay, maybe I'm going to, I'm going to skip Jane Eyre and I'm going to go.

• 1:03:10Brittany Broski?

  I can't wait. Okay. But yeah, that's my, my reading update for right now. And we'll see, we'll see what's going on there. Okay. And we're an hour in. And sometimes you're an hour in and time just flies, guys. So much update you want. This is probably going to be an hour and 20 minutes long. Okay, some things I'm into.

• 1:03:33Brittany Broski?

  This is a very, very important part of the podcast. Okay, uh, I'm very excited to show these things to you, share these things with you. Whimsy, okay, I'm always talking about whimsy, whimsy, whimsy, whimsy. Here are some whimsical things that I'm into that if you would like to implement them in your life, please feel free, because these things have brought me such joy that I really am excited. I've like been waiting to tell you about them. So, number one, I'm trying to use more cursive in my daily life. I get a lot of videos on my explorer page on Instagram of just wonderful old ladies writing in cursive, just keeping it alive. I think that in this age of, it's two things happening at once. One, the kids can't fucking read, and the

• 1:04:16Brittany Broski?

  kids can't write, and the kids, uh, don't have a proper grasp on English. Then at the other end of the spectrum, there is a group of Gen Z, potentially Gen Alpha, that are going back to analog phones, um, analog cameras, um, taking notes physically, like, all of these things, we're just over it. In the digital age, we crave physical media, okay? Uh, the Criterion Closet being like a thing that people are like addicted to, obsessed with. All of these relics are kind of coming back, and it's exciting, and it's fun, and, uh, they're collectible, and you know, whatever, it's, you can share them with your friends,

• 1:04:54Brittany Broski?

  borrow them, whatever. I think that, for me, cursive is, uh, an easy thing to implement in your daily life when you like, write something on a sticky note, or when you take a note, or when you're writing your to-do list, grocery list, write it in cursive. Why not? You know, and if it looks like shit, then practice. It's, it's just something I really have been loving, and it's just some, uh, a fun whimsical way to be a bit more fancy in your daily life. And it's a dying art. It is a dying art form. Who is keeping that shit alive? We have to keep it alive. Uh, another thing, in my house, I keep jazz playing, okay? I alternate between KUSC FM, which is the California classical station on iHeart

• 1:05:36Brittany Broski?

  Radio, and then just jazz, just YouTube has a bunch of jazz playlists. I love it. It makes me feel very, sometimes, modern music, if I'm not in the mood, can really overstimulate me. Even if it's songs that I like, I'm just like, I'm not in the mood, I need to, my house needs to be a place that I can come to and re-center and relax, and, you know, don't like, turn, oh, no, no, turn those lights off! I don't want the big light on. I want little yellow lights everywhere, okay? Uh, squishies. I'm on that squishy shit hard.

• 1:06:11Brittany Broski?

  And sorry for the misophonia people, I don't care. If you have misophonia, you need to get over it and buy a squishy. That's just, that's my opinion. That's my opinion. So, next is candle warmers. Candle warmers and the pumpkin, or, sorry. Candle warmers and specific candles I've been into are pumpkin candles, Pumpkin Spice. Do you know that girl? Pumpkin Spice, that's my shit. Is that what she says? She says, "I don't like Pumpkin Spice." And then she got us recently, because she made a video, she was like, "I do like Pumpkin Spice," but it's because she got a cat named Pumpkin Spice. You got my ass, girl.

• 1:06:49Brittany Broski?

  You got my ass, queen. Next, a fig candle. Been really into fig for both this, like, summer into fall transition, okay? It's very, very clean, it's, but also warm, and anything with a fig note, I'm there, I'm there, I love a fig. Next, in the vein of lighting and candle warmers, shower lighting. Okay, guys, I got a sunset lamp, just one of those dinky bullshit ones, I just, I got one. I put it in my bathroom, shine it against the wall, and then in my shower, I have one of those rechargeable lamps. I just, I put it in there, it is so luxurious. I'm all about, like, trying to calm my nervous system these

• 1:07:34Brittany Broski?

  days, because, holy shit, there's always something, it's always something, it's always something, it's always something. I can't. When I come back to my house, I wanna, "Pumpkin Spice," you know what I mean? So, I've got shower lighting, I really would recommend that. This episode is sponsored by Lola Blankets.

My latest craft, next up, I'm gonna put a video up here for a detail shot. I have been

• 1:11:03Brittany Broski?

  so into, you could call them bag charms, um, but they're really just, I guess, keychains. I make these gorgeous keychains that really came from this idea of, um, shrinky dinks. I follow Gazoo Studio on YouTube, she's one of my favorite YouTubers, she makes crafts, and, uh, she does little shrinky dink charms, and she does so pretty. She's like a for-real artist, and she'll draw, and then I'll shrink up, and she'll turn them into keychains, and they are so damn cute. She'll make it about anything, like desserts, or back-to-school stuff, or like, an apple, or like, city-themed, which is my next thing. Whenever I like travel to a new city, I'm gonna swap my little bag charms for the one that I've made, because

• 1:11:44Brittany Broski?

  they make, you know, New York ones, and like, LA, I could do a little pumpkin tree, you know, whatever. It's so cute! It's really been giving me joy. So, yeah, I make these. This is a little Halloween one, it's all silver, it's got spiders, and a little, um, crystal spider on his web. This is a little gold tulip one. The color scheme of it all, very, very, very much, um, um, satisfying to me, very satisfying. This is a blue one, I'm trying to experiment more with color, and you can do two little ones, you can do, uh, there's ones like, it's a little charm, and you can put a charm in it, oh, come on. And they're all on Pinterest, I just save them on Pinterest. Uh, I started making them

• 1:12:25Brittany Broski?

  as phone charms. This is a little pumpkin, Pumpkin Spice, and this is my Twilight Zone phone case. But I started making phone charms, and then I realized, these could be bag charms, and then they could also be keychains. But here's the thing, if you're gonna do it, I'm not a maximalist when it comes to phone, or bag charms. On my bag, just the one, okay? Just the one. I don't have the big plushies and the whatever, whatever, uh, except if I'm at Disney, then I'm gonna have a bag charm that's a plushy, because you have to have moderation, okay? But yeah, this is a really fun hobby of, I do, it's just with pliers, you just open the little jumperings with pliers, do whatever, build it. Um, I would really recommend doing it on a towel, so that the beads don't roll everywhere, and

• 1:13:09Brittany Broski?

  now I have little, like, containers to hold my beads. It is so much damn fun. I've also been into felting. I'll put a picture of my felting crafts up here. It's just, it gets me off my phone, it gets me doing something with my hands, and I've been putting up history videos on YouTube while I do it, and it is just, it's fantastic. I, I have the time of my life, and since May, actually, when I had my huge burnout, crash out, like, oh, maybe I don't want to do this job anymore, and I mean that, like, I've been trying to find little things to bring me back to me, and, uh, these are the ones, and they're, they're so much fun. And I, about a month ago, had another little crash out, and, uh,

• 1:13:51Brittany Broski?

  it's just crafting. I'm like, I, if I'm away from the things that are me, and bring me to me for too long, um, I really start to feel it, and I really start to be not well. So, that sucks. But, these things really, really help. So, I love it, I love crafting, I really, you don't have to be good at it, just start, and get a cheap craft. Shrinky dinks are like $3. Go do it, and color it, and cook it in the oven, and make a keychain. It really is that simple. Other things I'm into, I had a huge phase over the summer with Ciara Farrell. Ciara Farrell is 100% gonna be my number one artist on Spotify this year, like, I love her in a way that's weird. And what kickstarted it, actually,

• 1:14:36Brittany Broski?

  is we saw Mumford & Sons in concert in like, March, and, uh, she opened for them, fantastic opener, by the way, fantastic choice for an opener, and I, I had listened to a few of her songs before, and I loved it, they would be on my playlist for, you know...

• 1:14:51Brittany Broski?

  That kind of like Tyler Childers, Colter Wall style of folk country, but uh, oh my God, dude, it's here for, I just, I know every song she's ever made by heart. I love her to death. Love her. That was a huge phase for me. Uh, power wash videos, dude. Power wash videos, power wash YouTube shorts.

• 1:15:14Brittany Broski?

  Get into that. Get into that. Okay, those are, that's my like, what you've missed. Now, a new segment.

• 1:15:26Brittany Broski?

  Okay, this is what I'm calling housekeeping, but major, a, a new change, a major change is about to happen, okay? So I'm gonna do song of the week, what I'm watching, uh, what I'm looking forward to, and then some style things I've been loving. So song of the week is Summers Over by Jordana and TV Girl. I'm back on my white people shit. I'm doing TV Girl, I'm doing Empire of the Sun, I'm doing Cage the Elephant, I'm doing, uh, Foster, Foster the Peo- Foster the People, Foster the People. Fostering, fostering the people. Um, all of that, Peach Pit, whatever, oh my God, it's just so, I put it on, it makes me happy. It's good driving music.

• 1:16:06Brittany Broski?

  So that song, what I'm watching, dude, I've never seen Girls. I've never seen Girls, and Girls is incredibly millennial. And I, but it's also so vulgar, and I don't even mean that as like, oh, I'm a prude. It's just, I'm seeing some version of Bush Balls and Dick every episode. I have seen more dick and Bush in my life, uh, watching this show than ever before. And I, you know, yep, uh huh, that's part of it. And, uh, a lot of sex, it's really sex forward, which is fine, it's fine, I'm not a prude. It's just, hey, watch it alone. You need, hey, go ahead and watch this alone.

• 1:16:47Brittany Broski?

  Don't download a whole season like me on your iPad and watch it on a plane, because people will look at you funny. They will look at you funny, and you will have to turn your brightness down, so. Uh, yeah, Girls, I'm on season six, uh. The thing about this show is everyone is extremely unlikable. I hate every fucking character, every single one, but other times, I'm laughing, I'm laughing my fucking ass off. There are parts that are so, it's very well-written. And, uh, I, I really commend it for that. It is very of its time, I will say that. It's very BuzzFeed, Final Boss, Mustache, you know, epic win.

• 1:17:30Brittany Broski?

  It's very millennial, but in other ways, it's timeless, so, I don't know. And I don't know about Lena Dunham, I don't know. I didn't read Fame Sick, I don't know any of the shit, I know that some people fucking hate her, I know she's controversial, I don't know why. But Girls, I feel like always comes up in this conversation of comedy shows, I, you know, you need to see. Never seen it, so I'm watching it. Next, I'm doing Arrested Development, never seen it. And I know I would fucking love it, because Will Arnett, Bateman, like, come on. Uh, that's just, that's my, that's my shit, punk his spice. So that is next on my watch list. Yeah. What I'm looking forward to, Werewolf by Robert Eggers, we know this, moving on.

• 1:18:13Brittany Broski?

  Style things I'm loving. Okay, had a major revelation over the summer. Hey, if you have fat arms, raise your hand. Okay, if you...

• 1:18:24Brittany Broski?

  I just move on.

• 1:18:26Brittany Broski?

  I move on. If you have fat arms, raise your hand. Okay, the merch is gonna be...

• 1:18:34Brittany Broski?

  No, seriously, if you have fat arms, raise your hand, raise both of your hands, smell your pits. Okay, thank you. Fat arm people, who cares? Who cares? Do you know how long I've been dog-walked by the fact that I have fat arms? How many outfits I believe fat arms have ruined? How many things I've put back on the shelf? How many, like, times I've talked down to myself? I, this summer, was like, it's hot, I have fat arms, and hey, most people know that, okay? I know that, looking at me, you, yeah, those are gonna be fat arms. I have come to the very genius realization that, uh, it doesn't matter. So, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, and I just wanted to share that,

• 1:19:19Brittany Broski?

  because, uh, if you have fat arms and a fat belly and fat anything, it doesn't matter. Uh, and I feel like I just never really heard that before, so. This summer, I wore a tube top for the first time in my life, and no one died. Everything was fine, um, I was not pointed and laughed at, um, I did not, you know, get called Bingo Wings. Uh, none of that kind of happened, so I would, uh, I would recommend wearing a tube top. If you've got a tube top and you've been kind of waiting to wear it, just wear it. Cause you've only got about, mm, give or take 60 years left on this planet, maybe, if you're lucky. If you're lucky, you have about 60 years left, um, maybe less, maybe more.

• 1:20:01Brittany Broski?

  So, just wear a tube top, because it does not matter. Just something that I kind of, you know, was thinking about. Also, new, I'm a tabby girl now. I used to be like those fucking dumbass shoes, now, I follow that girl who does the, the Freaky Shoes on TikTok. I love her, I don't remember her name, but she's like, where are my Freaky Shoe Girls at? And I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah. She has some weird ass shoes, some of them are a bit too weird for me, some of them, I'm like, oh, wow, wow, wow, wow. So I just, I got some tabbies, and then I also just ordered, like, apparently Nike makes some tabbies, and they're like good, they're walking shoes, so I'm gonna get those, and I got them in a really blue, really pretty, light blue color.

• 1:20:41Brittany Broski?

  So I'm excited to kind of bust those out, bust them in, bust in them, very excited. Okay.

• 1:20:52Brittany Broski?

  This is my announcement.

• 1:20:55Brittany Broski?

  We are now utilizing the Patreon.

• 1:21:02Brittany Broski?

Like, do, go down a rabbit hole, whatever. This is the time. I already have something up on Patreon right now that's basically inviting, if you, as the followers, Broski Nation, if you have something that you would like me to look up, or research, or get into, leave your suggestions there. And, uh, it might be featured in an upcoming episode, either next week, or, you know, six months from now.

• 1:21:46Brittany Broski?

  It's gonna be an evergreen list that we're always gonna keep referencing. So like, anything, any questions you've got for me, and not like, should I pick up with my boyfriend? The answer is always gonna be yes. If you're having a, should I pick up with my boyfriend? Yeah, you should. But it, it should be questions like, deep philosophical questions, I really want to, I, I want to be a, I wanna be inspired. That's kind of the gist of it, if I'm being completely, totally honest. You guys have such great ideas, and, uh, you're all very interesting people with unique points of view, and I want to hear from you, and I want to know how we can do a melding of the minds, because that's intriguing to me. And, uh, just some of the bullshit I talk about on here, I feel like it hits home for a lot of people, and if you have adjacent recommendations, I would love to hear.

• 1:22:31Brittany Broski?

  So, yeah, that's, uh, that's on the Patreon. Go, go over if you're not a part already, the episodes are ad-free on there as well. Go join our Patreon and then let me know, go ahead and let me know. And again, you don't have to, that's just, if you wanna be featured on here potentially one day, uh, go ahead and do that. Okay, we're getting real mythical in here, we're getting real mythical morning in here. So, that's exciting. Other than that, guys, you know the normal, uh, run a show, we've got Royal Court. If you are not familiar or subscribed, go ahead and check it out. We've had some unbelievable guests this past summer, from May until now. Truly like, things are happening, things are always happening, okay? Emmys are now a real, you know?

• 1:23:16Brittany Broski?

  What if, internet shows are now gonna be on the Emmys, that's a real thing that could probably happen in the next two years, it's very exciting. So, uh, yeah, Royal Court, we've got merch. The Broski Report merch is still up, we've got Mumus, and potentially, a new drop. I've been talking about doing this book club merch for a very long time, the day has come. The day has come, keep your eyes peeled, okay, okay, okay, okay. It's gonna be launching incredibly soon, I'll keep you guys updated, and I'll be posting about it on Instagram, and of course, when it launches, I'll announce it on here officially. But, um, it's very cool, it's very dark academia, very, uh, very my vibe, I'm loving it, loving it.

• 1:23:59Brittany Broski?

  So that's kind of what I've got for you this week. I am so excited to be back, thank you for rocking with me in my absence. Uh, I needed to do those side quests, I really, really did, and I needed some time off, because this job is so navel-gazing, and it is actually deeply weird to talk about yourself and what you like, and who you are, and you, and you, and you, and you, all the time. Who gives a fuck? And I'm so blessed that I have a community of people who actually deeply, deeply do give a fuck, and really find community with me. But sometimes in my own head, I'm like, you self-important asshole. You know what I mean? It's a psychological experiment for the ability to do this job. And I just quickly realized I was having, I had no input in my life.

• 1:24:43Brittany Broski?

  I was just giving, giving, giving, giving, output, output, output, be funny, be funny, dance monkey, dance, dance. And I, my legs didn't work anymore, I couldn't dance. So now I'm back to dancing.

• 1:24:55Brittany Broski?

  So I'm very happy to be back, and, uh, let's do it, let's friggin' do it. I'll see you guys next week, thank you for being patient, and, uh, pray for me and my bone booger. I really, really appreciate it, y'all, thank you so much, okay, bye-bye.
