• 0:54Brittany Broski?

  Mama, mama, they put me in The Broski Report, mama. Welcome back to The Broski Report. Holy shit. Elvis has left the building. Elvis has started his period.

• 1:15Brittany Broski?

  I am on my period.

• 1:18Brittany Broski?

  Elvis has a very important show tonight, and Elvis is also having chunks, mama. Mama, it's chunky.

• 1:29Brittany Broski?

  Mama, I bled through my maxi pad, mama.

• 1:33Brittany Broski?

  Okay. Don't I have, bruh? When you're Elvis and you bleed through your maxi pad? When you're Elvis and you have to have a hysterectomy because you have fucking really intense periods? Hey, guys, welcome back to The Broski Report. Without bruh. But really, I'm always with bruh. Bruh's always with me. I am one with the force, the force is with me. I'm with the force, the force is with me. I'm with bruh, and the bruh is with me. Guys, I am on my period. I'm worried I'm gonna stand up from this fucking desk, and there's gonna be a big duru stain up my back.

• 2:11Brittany Broski?

  There's gonna be a big fucking duru stain. Because you know when period blood sinks too long? God, I look like fat Elvis. Big, busty, triple D Elvis. Triple H tits Elvis.

• 2:27Brittany Broski?

  Busting out the sports bra Elvis, bro. Mask tuck Elvis. Honey, get into this Elvis Vegas tuck. Oh, I tuck for The Broski Report. You bet your fucking ass I'm tucked under this desk, mommy honey girl. Okay, uh, happy almost Halloween. Seriously, what is it, October 20th? Holy shit. Where did 2026 go? Oh, my God, y'all, it was literally yesterday. It's 2025, yeah! So, hey, you think my dad's 2024 or 2025? My God, I remember you, you were this little. I remember you and you were this little. I used to wipe your butt. I used to change your diapers, you know that? I've seen that hoo-ha.

• 3:12Brittany Broski?

  I've seen that hoo-ha. Why do older adults say that shit, bro? I used to change your diapers, I've seen your butthole. Yes, I have. I'm 32.

• 3:25Brittany Broski?

  Oh, good to see you. By the way, I'm 32, so awesome. You've seen my butthole. God, is this wig is like, it's shedding crazy style? There's pubes all over the desk. There's like little Elvis pubes. Pelvis. Pubic Elvis. All right, guys, we're gonna talk all things Elvis today. We're gonna kind of deep dive into some of the Elvis lore. Um, we're gonna...

• 3:55Brittany Broski?

  R.I.P. Elvis, you would've loved Stella Lefty.

• 4:01Brittany Broski?

  R.I.P. Elvis, you would've loved Stella Lefty. And what was his thing? White guys love to do fucking martial arts, bro. Robert Downey Jr. loves martial arts. Elvis loved to... What is that? Like, I do wonder what that is. It's like, uh, it's like, uh, that's the closest thing a white guy can think of that's like meditating and praying. The closest thing that a white guy can think of to the universe is like being a black belt. What is that? Big triple fucking H tits.

• 4:36Brittany Broski?

  My big fucking tits.

• 4:41Brittany Broski?

  Sure, whatever. All right. Elvis! I'm calling, mama, it's chunky. Mama, they trapped me in The Broski Report, mama. I would like to make a public apology, actually. I'd like to just take a second. Let's get serious. I owe a public apology to Austin Butler for the way I acted in, uh, 2022. From early 2022 to late 2022, even into 2023. I really was weird about... I really was weird about the Elvis movie. Like, I really, really was weird about it in a way that is, it was cute at the time, but now it's a bit unforgivable, really. I would drive myself to the theater, this is not a joke, once, multiple times a week.

• 5:26Brittany Broski?

  Noah Cyrus and I bonded over this because she was the same as me. We would go to the theater alone multiple times in a week to go watch Elvis. I would pick the latest screening, like 10:00 PM, because I knew no one would be there. It'd be like a Tuesday night, when, like, whatever. I would go see Elvis. I would sit middle. I'd get all my snackies, and I would watch it and just goon. I would just goon in the theater. Because I was like, Austin Butler! Austin Butler, Elvis! Fat Elvis shit on a toilet, died on a toilet, Austin Butler. Oh, let it all... I loved that fucking movie. Like, that early part, when he first sings, what's it?

• 6:09Brittany Broski?

  Uh, mama, uh, I wanna play house with you. That whole scene, oh, my fucking God. When he performed in the stadium? Or no, what, what show was that? I haven't seen it in so damn long. You would think I'd remember more of it. I hyperfixated on that movie in a way that I think was a bit of post-COVID trauma, uh, post-COVID trauma bonded-ing edge to that movie. Because I think it was like, oh, we can finally go to the theater again. I don't have to wear a mask. It was like me time. I could get out of the house, go do it, just go goon. I could go goon in private. It was awesome. Saving Private Goon. So, I'm like, really thankful to the Elvis movie. I'm thankful to Baz Luhrmann because you guys really... That movie did something for me spiritually

• 6:52Brittany Broski?

  that, uh, very little, very little has done since. That's not true. I gooned to House of the Dragon. I gooned to Mandalorian. I gooned to... Fucking, um, the Call of Duty phase. I gooned to Call of Duty characters, um, to the point of buying a cameo from the guy who does the fucking voice for Ghost. Uh, that was, that was, I think, in real time, we can all say, that was my rock bottom. That was rock bottom, and you guys were laughing at me. And that's fucked. That, truly, that's a woman at her worst. Like, buying cameos from voice actors to goon to. That's a different level. And then sometimes I see comments like, I miss when she was like this. Do you? I don't? Fuck! That is truly my lowest and awesome that is documented.

• 7:37Brittany Broski?

  All right, let's get into it. Oh, my Elvis glasses. Just broke them. Okay, my obsession with the Elvis movie aside, I had a real Elvis obsession when I was in middle school. And then also, after the movie, I, of course, I read Priscilla's book, Elvis and Me. I read like all this, I was really deep into it. Then I watched Priscilla, of course, when it came out. And, look, shout out Jacob Elordi, friend of the realm, friend of the show, Jacob Elordi. But like, I gotta give it up to Austin, man. That's my Elvis. Hashtag not my Elvis.

• 8:14Brittany Broski?

  Okay, Jacob Elordi, that's my Frankenstein's monster. That's my Frankenstein's monster. But that is hashtag not my Elvis. I think he did a, he did a good job. But Austin Butler, damn! He's that fat suit, he's...

• 8:30Brittany Broski?

  Um, I really, really, like, thinking about it now, I actually just got speechless for a second because it took me back to watching that scene for the first time where he's like doing it. Oh, shit, the first Vegas show, shit.

• 8:54Brittany Broski?

  What the fuck? Where did that come from? Alright, anyway. Y'all, I got super high the other night with Elizabeth and we we watched the fucking Hamza and Martin, um, Martin, Martin. We watched them got caught in a hailstorm. And I was so high, I have not laughed that hard. And for like, and I laugh all very hard all the time. That was a euphoric experience. Genuinely, I would really recommend taking a marijuana edible, watching that specific Slushy Noobs video of them just like having a, a nothing day.

• 9:39Brittany Broski?

  And then it's like the worst storm in Toronto history or some shit. It is the funniest thing I have ever seen. In 2026, it might be the funniest thing I've seen. It's ridiculous. It was so, so funny. Really would recommend that when they're caught in the rain and he's just gagging. Shut up, bro. Alright, Elvis. Did he have a middle name? Elvis Presley, full name. Elvis Aaron Presley, of course, I fucking knew that actually. Here's some things I know about Elvis off the top of my head. Favorite snack was that fat ass, big guy meal. Banana peanut butter and bacon, bro.

• 10:21Brittany Broski?

  And I bet there was butter on it, on some bread, like that. What I really deeply respect about him actually is that like, he was unabashedly a big fat guy. Like, not many people are doing big fat guy the way Elvis is doing it towards the end of his life, like just big and fat and it like living large. Living it up. Truly, like you have everything in the world you could ever want. Yeah, I want my mom to make me a bacon banana and peanut butter sandwich. And of course, that shit's probably fucking phenomenal. Cause personally, when I'm on my big fat guy shit, I love a maple bacon anything. I love a maple bacon donut. Yeah, my donut has bacon bits on it, bitch. I don't give a fuck. Maple bacon donut.

• 11:06Brittany Broski?

  I love a bacon caramelized maple, maple. Bacon babal babal babal blaze. A bacon barrelized babal blaze. Hey.

• 11:18Speaker 02

  Bruh.

• 11:19Brittany Broski?

  Hey. But maple bacon caramelized glaze. You know what I'm talking about? They make like a chutney. They make like a, a chutney out of that sometimes. You guys don't understand. Um, I deeply respect that as one of his favorite snacks. I mean, like holy, and he had a bunch of other ones that were just nasty. Um, Elvis favorite snacks. Oh, sorry, it was grilled. Oh my God. Fried grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich made with crisp bacon and cooked in butter or bacon grease. Big fat guy shit, I love it.

• 12:01Brittany Broski?

  Drizzle of honey or marshmallow fluff, bro. His blood vessels were congealed. The preparation of the sandwich is pan fried in a skillet with butter or bacon grease until golden brown and warm. God damn. Hey y'all, welcome to a new segment I'm calling Boo! Or Boo! It's a working title, it's not my best work. Where I give the verdict on recent trends and Halloween costumes. As we know, Halloween is right around the corner, so I wanted to give my opinion, as I do, on some costume ideas y'all might be ideating on. Okay, let's start with what's in this year, okay? I'm talking to return to classics.

• 12:41Brittany Broski?

  Vampire, witch, scarecrow, Frankenstein's monster, a bat. Okay, a bat is a good one. I'd also like to suggest men dressed as sexy nurses. I really would like to throw that into the cauldron. Inflatable costumes, I'd like to see more of it. I laugh every time I see an inflatable costume. Keep it up, fellas. And by fellas, I mean everyone. Fellas is a gender inclusive term. Dressing up as someone you know in your real life. It's hilarious. Dress up as your dad, dress up as your boss, dress up as your local neighborhood guy. It's very funny. Dressing up as inanimate objects. One of my friends dressed up as the Space Needle one year, and that's funny. Okay, here's what's out this year.

• 13:25Brittany Broski?

  I don't want to see this stuff and I'm serious. Couples costumes. Sheeple, wake up. You're an individual. Or you're literally sheeple, you're a follower, you're a follower or be an individual, be your own person. Low effort costumes. I don't want to see any more of this, this is my Halloween costume t-shirts. This eh, no t-shirts on Halloween. None of these low effort costumes. I'm serious, if you're a cat and you wear all black and you draw whiskers on eh, not cutting it. I need a little bit more effort from you. Plus, you look like an idiot and we all wish you'd go home early. So, okay, another thing that's out this year, dressing for your gender. Out, we are gender bending this Halloween. Go with something, you know, not you.

• 14:08Brittany Broski?

  Go with something that feels a bit out of your comfort zone because you just might find a new comfort zone. Also out, scary, gory costumes. I don't, oh, oh, I'm scared, I don't want to see that. I want to see everyone dressed as cartoon characters and like monsters. Like, that's funny to me. I don't want to see something scary. And in that vein, I don't want to see any costumes oozing liquid, oozing oo blood and the, I don't want to see that. And also, sit next to me on the couch and it gets on my costume, now I'm mad. I don't want to see it. Okay, now that we've gotten my do's and don'ts for Halloween out of the way, I would like to reveal to you my personal favorite 2026 Halloween costume.

• 14:52Brittany Broski?

  The Smirnoff Ice Box. And yes, that's me on the box. From the box. Now, if you're interested in matching me, you can get your very own and we can create an army of Smirnoff Ices. Go to smirnoff.com/merch. They just created a million Smirnoff Ices. Thanks, guys. And happy Halloween. Elvis Presley's 18 favorite foods, let's get into it. What the hell is the Elvis ice cream sandwich? Oh my God.

• 15:36Brittany Broski?

  Oh, it's the same sandwich. Barbecue chicken bites, oysters Rockefeller. Where are they getting this information? Fried pickles, they're just like throwing some shit out there. Well, I don't trust you. I don't trust you tasteofhome.com, you didn't know Elvis. You didn't even talk to him. Ooh, here we go, r slash Elvis. A list of, oh my God, just gotta chill. A list of items to be kept at Graceland for Elvis. This list was written circa mid 1960s. Alright, let's read this. To be kept in kitchen and house for Elvis at all times, every day. Number one, fresh lean unfrozen ground

• 16:18Brittany Broski?

  ro- ronad meat? Round meat? Ground something meat. One case, regular Pepsis, alright? One case, orange drinks. If you know, you know. Elvis and J Lo. Rolls, hot rolls, brown and serve. Cans of biscuits, at least six. Hamburger buns, pickles, potatoes and onions, assorted fresh fruits, alright? Cans of sauerkraut. Wieners. At least three bottles of milk and half and half cream. Thin lean bacon, I'm so fucking sure.

• 16:58Brittany Broski?

  Mustard, peanut butter, fresh hand squeezed cold orange juice. Banana pudding to be made at night, because it's got to congeal in the fridge overnight. I see you, Elvis. See, I get him. Ingredients for making meatloaf and sauce. Let me tell you something about meatloaf. I can only speak for my own culture here, alright? I don't know what other cultures' relationship to meatloaf is. And I'm not gonna act like I do, alright? But what I can tell you is I probably am the resident expert on meatloaf. I grew up eating meatloaf. And not only did I grow up eating it, I grew up loving it. What the fuck is meatloaf made of? I don't know. You're asking me? I don't know. I don't care.

• 17:42Brittany Broski?

  I don't care what meatloaf is made of. I'm still gonna eat it. I'm gonna put ketchup on it. I'm gonna put fucking ketchup and mustard and barbecue sauce on it. I don't give a fuck, bitch. I love meatloaf. I ordered Tordash the other day and I ordered meatloaf from this place and I literally was like, it's not good meatloaf. Like I have a ranking system of meatloaf. Drooling.

• 18:10Brittany Broski?

  Let me go ahead and swallow. Thinking about meatloaf. Meatloaf to me, I don't know if it's beef. I don't know if it's turkey. I don't know if it's all the awful parts of a pig or some bullshit like that. Meatloaf has a texture that when paired with something like a mashed potato, when paired with something that has a sort of soft pudding-like texture, I find very satisfying. Taylor makes fun of me. Sierra makes fun of me, my sister, that I make something called bobo mash. Now bobo mash, thank you for asking, is when I combine all the food on my plate into a casserole and I mash it all together because that's what I like. That's what I like.

• 18:54Brittany Broski?

  Cause listen to this. Meatloaf, crush it up a little bit. Mashed potatoes, mix those together. A little bit more of the meatloaf sauce on top. Maybe, let's say you have a side of green beans. Throw a green bean in there. It's all going to the same place. It all complements each other. I just mix it together, put it all in my mouth at once. Instead of, oh, take a few bites of meatloaf. Oh, I'm gonna take a spoonful of mashed potatoes and then green beans and it's all in my mouth at the same time. I'm talking to it anyway. You're eating it anyway. Bobo mash. I've made bobo mash since I was a kid. I don't know what the fuck is wrong. I mean, I'm sure a lot of y'all could diagnose what's wrong because it's, there's probably a laundry list. And you've probably observed a lot of behavior from me over the years that is, you know, concrete textbook evidence.

• 19:38Brittany Broski?

  If someone was seeking to diagnose an ADHD patient, look no further than the Broski Report. Now, does this have any bearing on my life? No. No, it doesn't. Because I don't know, it's not fixable. And I don't know if I want to fix it, okay? I've got my cheesy Elvis tuck under the table and I'm in a wig and I'm experiencing gender euphoria. I like that. This is, I feel like those girls on, on weird obsession, strange addictions, where they eat deodorant and they say, I don't give a fuck. I love it. I love to chew on my mattress. It feels good on my jaw.

• 20:12Brittany Broski?

  I get it. I like to wear a wig and be bald and tuck, tuck under the table. It's fine.

• 20:22Brittany Broski?

  Okay, no, but seriously, guys, bobo mash. Bobo mash. I first started doing this when I was probably like nine or 10 and we'd go to Golden Corral after church on Sundays when I'd go, we'd go visit my grandparents. And I would make what at the time I did not know was mock one of bobo mash. It was a very early iteration of bobo mash. And I would just mix together mashed potatoes. Mashed potatoes is a ingredient to bobo mash, by the way. If you're not gathering that, you need a bonding agent.

• 20:54Brittany Broski?

  You need a bonding agent. Mashed potatoes will do the trick every time. Mashed potatoes also easy medium, alright? You just need a little salt. You don't need to fucking season mashed potatoes. Cause nine times out of 10, I don't trust the way that they've seasoned them. Cause they probably haven't. It's just the powdered mashed potatoes that they just mix up. Add a little salt. It's never enough salt. Don't worry about the salt. I'll add my own salt. I got the salt. I worry about the salt. That's why I used to travel with onion salt in my purse. Don't fucking worry about it. I will season it. Cause I don't trust you guys to do it. Oh my God, I ate at this restaurant recently. They had Lowry's seasoned salt and Lowry's seasoned pepper. Bitch. I didn't know Lowry's was doing all that.

• 21:37Brittany Broski?

  Lowry's, y'all have been holding it down in a lot of seasoned households for a very long time. So shout out to Lowry's really quick. Lowry's, if you'd like to sponsor the podcast, please reach out via my business email because I love. Lowry's seasoned salt has got me through a lot of hardships in my life. Onion salt as well. So I really feel like bobo mash started there because I used to do mashed potatoes. And now here's where I'm gonna lose some of y'all. If I haven't lost you already. Corn. Sweet corn. Alright, it's gonna offset the saltiness of the mashed potato. Sweet corn, add that in there. It's a good texture. It's good pop. It's like boba.

• 22:13Brittany Broski?

  It's like boba, alright? Now, on top of all this, because corn doesn't really count as a vegetable because our bodies can't process corn. And I don't want to hear about it from the nutritionist. I don't, I, whatever I say goes. Alright, on this podcast, whatever I say goes. And I mean that. If I said it, it's true. So corn, mashed potatoes. And they used to have these little chicken nuggets, chicken popper things. Throw those in there. But cut them in half. Very important because I have a small mouth and I will choke. You have to be careful around me because I will choke. You gotta cut my food up before you feed me. Cause I'm like a baby and I'm, and I'm slapping the table. And I won't eat food unless it's been bonded to mashed potatoes. Cause it goes down easier. Cause I got, I got a small throat.

• 22:59Brittany Broski?

  Anyway, I would mix all that up and that would be on it. And you know what's even thicker is that would be my dessert. Like I, obviously Golden Corral, you can have 30 plates. No one cares. Everyone there is big. It's fine. I'd have my first plate and I'd get, you know, chicken and a vegetable and bread, mainly bread. It was mainly bread. And then whatever. And then I would go back for bobo mash. I would make bobo mash on a plate. Cause you need to be able to cut shit in half. You need to be able to mix it with your fork and your spoon or whatever. I'm folding it like fucking Cold Stone Creamery. They chop it up like this and then they scoop it all together. That's how I was doing bobo mash. So I was making bobo mash as a kid, so.

  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.

• 24:00Speaker 03

  I'm like a kid when I play music and I make music and I'm constantly asking questions, you know? Whether it's an instrument I haven't played or it's a melody that seems foreign. You know this, every night you play a show and it's the same set, but it's not the same show. At a certain point, your brain kind of goes on autopilot. When I'm in the studio or if I'm making music, that's where that curiosity kind of comes back, you know? I haven't lost it yet, but I'm also on my sophomore album. So, and you, you obviously are an expert here.

  Fucking Elvis. That is an Elvis meme. Feen, feen. Feenament. It's a laxative? What the hell? Feenament was a popular over the counter mint flavored chewing gum laxative. Girl, bring this back. It was marked as a gentle chewable remedy for constipation. So he couldn't breathe through his nose and he also couldn't shit through his butt. Fart goes the butt. That fucking Luke Bryan, that Luke Bryan meme. Slam goes the door. Fart goes the butt. Truly unbelievable. Like, what an unbelievable life.

• 27:35Brittany Broski?

  Your wife's 14, you're 30, you're, you can't poop. You're clearly allergic to something. You're eating full blown lard. And you're performing at the peak of your game. Unbelievable. Like, wow. If I can dream, caught in a trap. Alright, everyone, I need everyone to go as Fat Elvis this year and tag me. I need, I'm looking to create an army of Fat Elvises. Let me put my glasses on. I, I want to create an army of Fat Elvises. They can't stop us all. You just created a million Fat Elvises.

• 28:16Brittany Broski?

  They just made a million fat Elvises.

• 28:20Brittany Broski?

  Okay, I need to know, what did he, what did Elvis use to dye his hair? Black shoe polish? When he was a teenager and could not afford professional products? I bet he smelled fucking crazy. Here's my, I really do have a question and I feel like I've tried to ask my grandparents this before and they just like won't tell me. Did people smell fucking bananas in the 50s? In the 60s, like, I don't know if deodorant, they weren't doing 24 hour antiperspirant, anti odor. I really don't believe it. I bet y'all stunk.

• 28:57Brittany Broski?

  For real, but also, look, lot of things introduced in the 21st century that, you know, are not natural or not, uh, it's not even not good for you, full blown toxic to you that we ingest on a daily basis. What's that, that statistic? We all have like the equivalent of one plastic spoon in our bodies from microplastic, sure, whatever. Oh, don't even get me started on wearing a tampon. Oh, I'm doing the arsenic challenge. Everyone join and tag, uh, your favorite arsonist. Arsonist. Everyone tag your favorite arsenic forward tampon brand in the comments. Uh, plot twist, it's all of them. Arsenic and lead.

• 29:39Brittany Broski?

  I'm doing the arsenic and lead interest suppository challenge 2026. I won. I have lead poisoning. Like, what do you mean there's lead in tampons? It's just so like, that, that's what I'm saying though, is like, everything's toxic. They poison our food so they can sell us the cure for this sickness so that we have to pay money with it. What's that fucking meme? It's true. It's literally true. Whatever. This episode of the Broski Report is sponsored by Lola Blankets. I love you Lola Blankets.

• 33:19Brittany Broski?

  Anyway, uh, yeah, I really do believe that, um, people smell, I'm actually gonna call Mimi. I gotta call my Mimi.

• 33:32Speaker 05

  Hello?

• 33:33Brittany Broski?

  May May.

• 33:34Speaker 05

  Hi, Dolce.

• 33:36Brittany Broski?

  I got a question for you.

• 33:37Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 33:39Brittany Broski?

  I really am wondering, the difference between like nowadays, all of our beauty routines and whatever we do. And of course, all of it's toxic and full of plastic and arsenic and lead, whatever. In the 50s and 60s, do you remember people stinking?

• 33:58Speaker 05

  You mean the body?

• 33:59Brittany Broski?

  Yes, like, like bad breath, stinking BO, puss. Really?

• 34:09Speaker 05

  A kid used to sit next to me in school and he would pick his boogers and eat them. And he also smelled so bad. His feet smell, I mean, his body, I think it was the underarm, smelled like rotten seeds.

• 34:27Speaker 05

  I'm not joking. Why?

• 34:29Brittany Broski?

  Cause I was just thinking about it. I was like, we have everything today, like deodorant, antiperspirant, like, you know, there's perfume. I mean, it's so accessible. And of course, all of it's probably toxic, but I'm like,

• 34:42Speaker 05

  Exactly.

• 34:42Brittany Broski?

  I always wondered, especially because y'all were doing baths, like, community sister baths and like you'd share the water and whatever. I'm just like, I don't, everybody had to smell like poop and butt.

• 34:56Speaker 05

  Not everybody, because if you didn't take a bath, you took a bath in perfume.

• 35:01Brittany Broski?

  Right. Which is not an alternative.

• 35:06Speaker 05

  No. All it did was, uh, make stinky feet and perfume together.

• 35:11Brittany Broski?

  Oh. And did y'all, did you have air conditioner in the school?

• 35:17Speaker 05

  Only for half of my school time.

• 35:19Brittany Broski?

  Like, high school?

• 35:21Speaker 05

  Uh huh, we did.

• 35:23Brittany Broski?

  Okay.

• 35:23Speaker 05

  But in, in our house, we didn't have an air conditioner.

• 35:26Brittany Broski?

  Oh. Was it as hot as it is now in Texas back then?

• 35:31Speaker 05

  I guess. I didn't notice because I was a kid.

• 35:34Brittany Broski?

  Right.

• 35:35Speaker 05

  But, but, uh, you know, we had what was called an attic fan. It was in your, in a ceiling in one of your hallways and it sucked air up in it. And you'd leave windows open so that it could suck the air in.

• 35:52Brittany Broski?

  Oh, so it's like a reverse AC. It'd blow the hot air out.

• 35:57Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 35:59Speaker 05

  And, uh, uh, dad was, Paul was saying, because you were laying in bed sweating and the air passing over, you would evaporate and make you cool.

• 36:10Brittany Broski?

  Now that's interesting, okay.

• 36:12Speaker 05

  Yes. And, uh, the thing is, you'd wake up in the morning and everything was wet. You know, because sucking the dew in, your hair was all curly and your sheets were damp and.

• 36:26Brittany Broski?

  That was awful.

• 36:29Speaker 05

  Lots of fun.

• 36:30Brittany Broski?

  Oh. So when, okay, so in school, you had AC in high school. When did you move in the, for the first time in your house where you had central AC? Was it military housing?

• 36:45Speaker 05

  No, uh, no. Uh, when I, the last year I lived in, uh, high school, we, dad put air conditioning in our house.

• 36:55Brittany Broski?

  Wow.

• 36:57Speaker 05

  So that was 1962.

• 36:59Brittany Broski?

  Oh my, that's crazy.

• 37:03Speaker 05

  And you know, I used to wear Merle Norman makeup.

• 37:06Brittany Broski?

  Uh huh.

• 37:07Speaker 05

  All the way through high school. And we used to put this mask, it was called a mask, on your face. And it was red and you brushed it on and it was a liquid and it turned hard. And if you smiled, it would crack.

• 37:24Brittany Broski?

  What was the point?

• 37:26Speaker 05

  To, to draw out impurities.

• 37:29Brittany Broski?

  Right. It was just lead.

• 37:32Speaker 05

  It burned like a MF.

• 37:34Brittany Broski?

  I bet it did.

• 37:36Speaker 05

  You took it off and your skin was still red.

• 37:40Brittany Broski?

  From being irritated.

• 37:42Speaker 05

  That's probably why I got cancer later.

• 37:47Speaker 05

  They didn't worry about lead and stuff like that back then.

• 37:51Brittany Broski?

  Of course not.

• 37:52Speaker 05

  You know, so.

• 37:54Brittany Broski?

  It's all making sense.

• 37:55Speaker 05

  I know, it's just crazy.

• 37:57Brittany Broski?

  I was just thinking about how, I mean, all tampons and pads have arsenic and lead and every single, there's not one brand. Even the ones that are like organic cotton, no, those have arsenic too.

• 38:10Speaker 05

  It's just insane. We went from not using any of that stuff to putting everything in it. And then the older it got, the more they put in it, so.

• 38:22Brittany Broski?

  Well, all right. Well, that was my main question is, did people smell like butt and BO?

• 38:28Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 38:29Brittany Broski?

  Okay, good.

• 38:31Speaker 05

  Even though they had deodorant and all that stuff, people just didn't use it. You know, it was too much trouble.

• 38:37Brittany Broski?

  Okay.

• 38:39Speaker 05

  But anyway, yes. And people used to eat boogers, so, yeah.

• 38:45Brittany Broski?

  All right. Thank you, Mimi.

• 38:49Brittany Broski?

  Love you, bye.

• 38:52Brittany Broski?

  Rayed.

• 38:55Brittany Broski?

  Oh, I love Mimi. Okay, so people did wear deodorant. I'm assuming. I really am curious. What did it look like in the 50s? What did deodorant look like in the 50s?

• 39:11Brittany Broski?

  Looked very different from today's twist up plastic sticks. Packaging featured small glass jars, metal tins, squeeze bottles, and early spray or roll-on bottles rather than solid plastic tubes. Cream deodorants in jars. Popular brands like Mum Toothie and Revlon Aquamarine came in small milk glass jars, opaline glass, or metal tins with screw-on metal or plastic caps. Users dipped their fingers directly into the paste or cream to apply it to the skin. And what the hell was that probably made of? Aquamarine Cream Deodorant, antiperspirant with land light, lanolite. What is lanolite? Okay, this needs to move immediately.

• 40:02Brittany Broski?

  What the hell? Lanolin, lanolin is a yellowy waxy substance secreted by the sebaceous glands of wool-bearing animals like domestic sheep. Oh, so it's like animalic? I bet that shit smelled fucking crazy! Lanolin is harvested from raw wool after it sheared from the sheep. The wool is washed in hot water through a process called scouring, and machines like centrifuges, uh, separate the waxy oil from dirt and debris. God, I bet it smelled crazy! It's widely used in creams to soothe sore or cracked nipples during nursing. It's added to lipsticks, makeup, baby balms, and medical ointments.

• 40:43Brittany Broski?

  It's found in leather conditioners, rust preventative coatings, and lubricants. It acts as an emollient and semi-occlusive moisturizer, helping to trap existing moisture in the skin and heal chapped lips, dry hands, and cracked skin. Is lanolin still used today? Yes, it is widely used. So I guess if it's, is that considered cruelty-free? Do I have any sustainability, uh, students who watch? Can y'all let me know? I did a whole course on, uh, sustainability reporting and all that, like pink washing, greenwashing, cruelty-free, vegan, whatever, and how all these companies get around a lot of these, uh, tags and descriptors.

• 41:27Brittany Broski?

  I'm curious, uh, like, is cruelty-free, does that mean that it, that specific batch was not tested on animals? Or that it has no animal products? Or is that vegan? Is lanolin vegan? No, right? No, it's not vegan because it's an oil extracted from sheep's wool. That's crazy. Okay. Stoppet introduced a famous flexible, non-breakable plastic bottle with a squeeze pump mechanism that delivered a fine mist. Stoppet? Whoa! I've like never seen a, oh, that's a cool ad. That's a cool, like, art deco ad for deodorant. Poof, there goes perspiration.

• 42:10Brittany Broski?

  Stoppet, the original spray deodorant. This is crazy. I feel like I've never seen, I've always seen old toothpaste ads or moisturizer or whatever, but I've never seen deodorant. This is cool. Okay, so people were stinking back then. I guess that makes sense. Okay, here's what I really want to know. Is Graceland haunted? You know, there's some stories of people that work there. There's gotta be. Oh my. While there's no scientific proof that Graceland is haunted, many visitors, staff members, and even family members report feeling the spiritual presence of Elvis Presley and his mother Gladys. Okay, well, here's, here's the shit, right?

• 42:53Brittany Broski?

  It's like, is this wishful thinking? Because you want to be able to say, oh, I heard the piano, I heard the piano move. Yeah, uh-huh, the one he used to play, uh-huh, the one he used to sit at literally right at, probably. Or is it like actually, you know, I love a story of someone's cleaning, someone's doing closing shift, and they hear some shit? Because that's like, who's there? Elvis! But it's just me dressed as fat Elvis?

• 43:19Brittany Broski?

  Doing karaoke, doing karaoke, doing karate, doing karate karaoke, and I'm ordering kimchi fried rice at the Korean karate karaoke, mama!

• 43:30Brittany Broski?

  People often report hearing faint music, piano playing, or Elvis singing, coming from the private, closed-off, second floor of the mansion. Former Graceland housekeeper Nancy Rooks shared stories of lights turning on and off by themselves, doors slamming, and an unseen force gently tugging her foot while she worked. You're joking. Here's an interview. Well, and it's from the Elvisforum.org. Thank you. Ooh, here's some tea. How many years did you end up working at Graceland? So this is a Q and A with Nancy Rooks, the old housekeeper of Graceland. This is actually tea, I'm excited to read this. Question is, how many years did you end up working at Graceland? She said, "I worked there until 1977 when Elvis passed.

• 44:16Brittany Broski?

  I was there. I was the only one of the maids that was there because one of them was sick and the other one was at home because she worked nights. The other one had left me that morning to go home so she could get some rest, so she could come back that evening. So I was really left there alone that day, that Tuesday. But I told her that I could handle it, which I could. If he needed anything, his auntie and I both was both gonna fix it anyway. So he came in early that morning from the racket club, him and one of the other bodyguards. He stands on the steps waiting to go upstairs in the kitchen. I said, 'You want some breakfast, Mr. Elvis?' He says, 'No, I don't want anything to eat now. I just want to get some sleep. But what I would like is some water.' I said, 'Well, okay, that's no problem.' So I told Pauline to take him some water upstairs. We didn't carry him water in a big glass like you'd probably drink out of.

• 45:01Brittany Broski?

  You remember you used to buy orange juice and it had the hand thing on the side of the jug? It had hand clasps on the side where you could hold it. But anyway, I carried him some ice water upstairs. Pauline said, 'I ain't never known him to grab that water and drink it like he drank it this morning.' I said, 'He's probably just tired. He just came from playing racket and probably was hot. That's why he probably was drinking the water like he drank it.' She said, 'But I ain't never seen him do that before.' Constipated? He's so dehydrated, he's like, fuck! Question, how did Elvis look to you that morning? Great. He was planning on leaving that night, going back to California. He was gonna drop his daughter off in LA, and some of the boys had already left. They were already out there in California, so his road manager was here. I don't know how long he had been.

• 45:46Brittany Broski?

  I had been in the office with Mr. Presley, Vernon, who's Elvis's father, and the secretary, Mr. Smith, had left and went to his trailer back there because he was gonna get some rest too, so he could be ready when the night came. He was scheduled to do a show. He packed on some weight. During the summer of 1977, had Elvis packed on some weight? Answer, quite a bit. He gained quite a bit of weight. Like, I would tell people, I would beat up maybe three or four eggs. When I beat them up, I'd put a little cheese in them, put a little onions in them, put a little stuffing in it. Then I would fry as hard and as dry a whole pound of bacon, okay? A lot of people think a pound is a lot, but it might be, but it had about 18 or 19 slices

• 46:31Brittany Broski?

  in it, and I had to make sure it didn't have any grease. It had to be dry. That's the way Elvis liked it. Okay, regular day. Okay, here's the question. Go back to August 16th, 1977. That was probably just a routine day, wasn't it? Here's the answer. You're right, it was just a regular, routine day, but Ginger, who's Elvis's girlfriend at the time, Ginger Alden? What the hell? Was upstairs with him? Why do I not know who Ginger Alden is? And she's sexy. Well, he certainly had a type, didn't he? This is kind of tea. Are y'all kind of like vibing with me the way that I'm, I'm like really into this? Okay, Ginger was upstairs with him. Now, the two boys supposed to be there that day, like a bodyguard, just watching to make sure everything's okay.

• 47:16Brittany Broski?

  That was David Stanley. He was not there. He came in that day, him and some other boy. The other boy's name was Mark White, but he left. He started to go upstairs to check on him, but he asked me, "Is Ginger there?" I said, "Yeah, Ginger's still upstairs. She hadn't left." He said, "Well, there ain't no need for me to go up there. I guess everything's okay." I said, "Well, I don't know about that because I heard a lot of noise up there." So he goes upstairs to the black doors, but he didn't open them or anything, he just came on back down. So later on, about 10 minutes to 2, the telephone rings on the intercom. I picked it up and I thought they were probably calling for their breakfast. Ginger said, "Who's down there?" I said, "There's nobody down here but me. Aunt Delta's gone to the drugstore, Al's gone to pick some stuff up for tonight, his

• 47:59Brittany Broski?

  dad and the rest of them are in the office, his grandmother's in her room." She said, "Something bad has happened up here." I said, "What is it?" She started crying, and I said, "Oh, my God, it must be bad." I put the telephone down then, I went upstairs myself, because I thought maybe he had did something. Sometime he might bust some glass up there. Very tea. I went upstairs, and I went down the little hall and into the dressing room area, and I seen him on the floor. I said, "Oh, my God, what is this?" I ran back downstairs, and by that time, Al Strata was coming in the door. I said, "Al, go upstairs, something's happened up there." He said, "What is it?" I said, "Go and see right now." So he goes up there and looks, he comes back downstairs. I said, "Don't you stop and look at me, do something."

• 48:43Brittany Broski?

  So by that time, he had called his daddy and the road manager, Joe Esposito. So Joe Esposito comes inside, and he runs upstairs. By that time, he called his daddy and his cousin, and they came in and they went upstairs. And with the hollering they were doing, they just knew he was gone. So by then, I tried to get in touch with Dr. Nick. I called him on every phone that he had, I didn't get any answer. So his auntie was gonna try to get her doctor to come out there, and she called him up there in Whitehaven, and he said, "Nope, he's not my patient, I can't come." What the fuck? That's crazy. Like, not your patient, you're a doctor, get the fuck over here! I mean, he was dead anyway, but my God! So he said, "I'm sorry," and he didn't come. By that time, somebody had called an ambulance.

• 49:28Brittany Broski?

  They had gotten in touch with Dr. Nick some kind of way. I think Dr. Nick and the ambulance and some of them met up in the gate there almost together. The question says, "It sounds to me like an ambulance wasn't called right away." No, they didn't, not right away. I let them in when they got there. They didn't know how to get upstairs with the stretchers. So I showed them how to handle them stretchers over their heads, going up the steps, and when they got up those steps to bring him back down. But when they brought him back down, he looked just like he was asleep, but he had passed sometime earlier. He had blue spots on him. On his face you're talking about? Yeah. What time did you hear that loud noise upstairs? About 9:30 in the morning, somewhere between 9:30 and 10 o'clock. But I just thought they were into it. If she hadn't been up there, I wouldn't have been checking on him.

• 50:13Brittany Broski?

  His auntie would have gone up there and checked on him. We don't let him up by himself without anybody checking up on him. Question says, now, when they were into it, what do you mean by that? She says, I mean, him and her were having an argument about whether she was gonna go to California that night, or if she was coming in the morning later. He was saying, hell, no, you're going tonight. If you don't come tonight, then so and so, you're not coming out there in the morning. I'll have somebody else. So that's the way the argument went. What the hell? Question says, wasn't it kind of sad to work at Graceland after Elvis died? She said, yeah, I missed him when he passed away. Really? When he passed away, I was sitting in the house, sitting at the table, and one morning,

• 50:57Brittany Broski?

  a door slammed so hard, but I didn't see no door closed, but I heard it. I ran out of the house and told the guard to go back in there, that somebody was in there and it slammed the door. So he goes in there and searched the house over. I stayed outside because I said, maybe someone slipped in there, but it wasn't. I said, that was Elvis. He was angry. He just slammed the door real hard. He never wanted the home opened up to the public. He wanted the trophy room open to the public, but he was gonna intend to do that himself if he had retired. He was gonna let him come through the hall there and go down through the trophy room, on back by the swimming pool, and on back around. He had decided on doing that. But I stayed on up there at the house until they opened up across the street. They put the place across the street over there.

• 51:39Brittany Broski?

  Then I was removed out of the house and put over there across the street at Heartbreak Restaurant and Rockabillys to run the cash register. Question says, sounds to me like you're saying Graceland is haunted. She said, yeah, well, it was. I'd be down in the trophy room and the lights and things would flash on and off when I'd be cleaning because I worked at night. I would tell Mr. Elvis, now you leave these lights alone because I gotta see. One night, I was laying down on the platform where his uniforms, his suits, they had in the middle there in the trophy room on exhibit. I was laying down. I tried to sleep and take me a nap and somebody shook my foot. I said, what is this? I jumped up. I didn't see anybody. I said, Mr. Elvis, I know what you did. You did that to wake me up. She started laughing.

• 52:25Brittany Broski?

  That means for me to go to work. So I gone up and I hurried out of there. I read somewhere that Elvis and his bodyguards were eating dinner in the dining room and a voice cried out, Elvis. It was his mother's voice. Did you ever hear Elvis's mother's voice? She said, no. What the hell? This episode of the Broskin Report is sponsored by Whatnot.

When your spirit is so intimately tied to a place, like, I don't even know if it's a residual haunting at that point. It's just like you are, I believe, partially, probably his spirit is not, not trapped there, but like, wants to stay there. You know what I mean? That was his home. That was, he's probably caught in a loop. This is my theory, okay? From everything, from talking to my mom and whatever, all the bullshit.

• 54:37Brittany Broski?

  I do believe in a residual haunting and I do believe that it's just so familiar that it's almost like I'd rather stay here than pass on to the next life. Everything I love is here. Everything I know is here. Crazy. Very, very tea.

  Hey, it's Niall Rogers, 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 Miguel.

• 55:14Speaker 06

  That last year, finishing that record was the hardest experience of my life. To find your creativity and to believe in yourself, because somewhere in the midst of it, I stopped believing that my voice mattered and that I could find it again. That's a challenge. I was not feeling very confident creatively, only, again, defiant in my belief that what this is about is express something honest. Say something honest.

• 55:59Brittany Broski?

  Okay, to pivot from Elvis for a second, let's book club really quick. I read Haunting of Hill House. Bitch, I was scared as fuck. That book is scary. And what a, what a fun experience, like, reading a book and getting scared. Like, what a fun thing. I used to have this friend who, this is like right when I moved to LA, I do not talk to her anymore. But I told her, like, yeah, I love to read and whatever. And she kind of looked at me and she was like, I'm kind of jealous. And I was like, what do you mean? She was like, I wish I could read and like make words on a page, make me feel something. And I was like, have you ever tried to read?

• 56:44Brittany Broski?

  Like, you'd probably enjoy it. You read every day on TikTok, like, just fucking pick up a book. Like, it's really not a daunting task. Just pick up a book that you think is tea. It doesn't have to be some highbrow bullshit and just read. Like, that, anyway, that sticks with me, her being like, I wish I could make a, a book could make me cry, or a book could make me scared. And I'm like, bitch, just then read. It will come naturally. It's not a forced reaction. It's not a forced whatever. Like, I'm reading this book with Halloween ambience on my TV, late at night, alone in my house. I'm scared as shit. It was so good. It was my first Shirley Jackson. I really, really enjoyed Shirley Jackson. And I'm about to start, what's her other one?

• 57:28Brittany Broski?

  We Have Always Lived in the Castle. Very excited about that. I don't know, I think it's rated a bit better on Goodreads, but I mean, I don't, Goodreads doesn't mean shit to me. It's more so a way to log my thoughts on the books and read other people's reviews. But like, with anything, it's so, reading is so subjective and what you glean from it, you know, other people could say is stupid and what other people enjoy, I could say is fucking stupid. So it's just fun and I, I don't know, I just put, please, y'all. 2026, 2027, the year of reading. It's the year of the book. It's the year of the physical book. Let's go ahead and pick one up. Let's go thrift one. Let's borrow one from a friend. I'm about to read another Shirley Jackson, and then after that, I'm gonna read the original

• 58:13Brittany Broski?

  Alice in Wonderland. I've always wanted to read it. And you know, I'm on my Victorian shit. I love all that, that shit. I read Tenet of Welfal Hall. Oh, my God, I saw Sense and Sensibility. So good. I enjoyed it. Now, I have not read Sense and Sensibility, okay? I'm not a Jane Austen super nerd. I have Pride and Prejudice, I have Sense and Sensibility, and I think I have Persuasion. I've bought them all, like, really pretty copies. But I'm working my way through all the Bronte sisters and then I'm gonna start Jane Austen. I know they're very, very different, but Sense and Sensibility, I really enjoyed. And I haven't seen the other version of it, the one from like 2006 or 1998 or whatever it is. I haven't seen that. And there's this girl on TikTok who I follow who is a Jane Austen head.

• 58:57Brittany Broski?

  Like, that bitch is a Jane Austen freak. And I deeply respect it. She's got this super cool mohawk. She's like, I get her videos all the time and she, bonjour, punks. I really enjoy her. She like legally changed her name to Austen or something like, and so I was getting a bunch of her videos, reviewing the movie and reviewing, even like when Wuthering Heights came out and all that. And she's just like a, a loyalist and a traditionalist when it comes to the text. Like, these books are perfect in her view and her mind. And I, of course, haven't read them, so I have no skin in the game. But I, I really appreciate input from someone who, to its atomic makeup, understands and

• 59:38Brittany Broski?

  rides for and defends the bodies of work that inspire all of these adaptations and remakes and whatever, like, and keeps the spirit and tradition of Austenian literature alive. And all that, I learned about the, um, Girl, the Kelly Clarkson Jane Austen ring thing, here's some tea that I found about out through, I wish I remembered her name. She's really cool. I would go, go look up Jane Austen lady mohawk on, on TikTok. She's awesome. Kelly Clarkson in an auction a few years ago, or like a 10 years ago, bought a personal belonging of Jane Austen, a, a

• 1:00:19Brittany Broski?

  ring that she used to wear when she was alive, bought it not for, you know, to donate it to a museum, or to donate it to a public exhibition or anything, kept it for herself and wore it around the city. This like national relic of one of the most famous authors to ever live. And rightfully so, in my opinion, fans were pissed off. And it's not even just, it's when something is that old and that precious, and it is one of the few remaining original items that someone as important as Jane Austen had, that should be on display for everyone to see. Like, there are things that kind of graduate out of, I'm gonna buy

• 1:01:03Brittany Broski?

  this and display it in my own home, or for my own private enjoyment. There are things that belong to the collective consciousness, like the, the collective public that should be enjoyed by the public. And so she taught me about that. And I was like, damn, that's crazy. That's crazy. That'd be like me buying the Bronte sisters writing desk and being like, mine, I'm gonna put my coffee on it. Oh, that's insane. Like, some things just belong to the public. So, very tea. Anyway, I think she returned it. Or no, no, they wouldn't let her leave the country. They wouldn't let her leave the UK with it. They like, put some form of a travel, travel ban or something on her. And so she had the, I think she ended up selling it or donating it in some capacity, but crazy. They wouldn't

• 1:01:46Brittany Broski?

  let her leave the country with it. So, yeah, she like walked around London just wearing Jane Austen's ring. Oh, crazy. Anyway, loved Haunting of Hill House. I'll give you a short little, like, if you want to read it, there's this doctor, this doctor of philosophy who is interested in metaphysical. He's interested in finding concrete evidence, a scientific exploration of a haunted manor. And he finds this perfect old haunted house that the locals are like, we don't talk about what happened there. Nothing good happens there. It was built 80 something years ago, and it has sat empty for damn near 80 years. People move in and immediately move out. People die there. Like, it's just, we hear

• 1:02:30Brittany Broski?

  horrible things. And so he's like, perfect for my experiment. He writes to all these people that he had read stories about in the paper, or, you know, in journals, about paranormal things that have happened, paranormal experiences these people have had, whether that's poltergeist-ish activities, things like telepathic things, just coincidences that cannot be explained, to the point where they were written about in the paper, it was reported as news. And so he located these people, these individuals, wrote to them, because this is set in the 40s, I believe, 50s, it's set in the 50s. A few write back, it's two girls. And then a member of the family who owns this haunted house, obviously

• 1:03:13Brittany Broski?

  they don't live in it, is brought in, and he's kind of like this young guy, just whatever. And so they all are, are destined to meet in this house and just spend three months there, and observe, record, and notate what happens. And girl, some shit happens. And the ending, I'm not gonna spoil, but it is quite the ride, quite the ride. No pun intended. So I really, really enjoyed it. I'm excited. I don't know anything about a castle, castle that I'm, castle that we own, um, the castle, um.

• 1:03:50Speaker 07

  Hi, my name is Carmen Winstead.

• 1:03:54Brittany Broski?

  We've always lived in the castle. I don't know anything about it, so I'm gonna start it. And then after I do Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass, I'm gonna go back to Villette by Charlotte Bronte. And then I'm gonna do Burial of the Rats by Bram Stoker. And all these books are kind of, Villette's long, and Alice in Wonderland, because I have both of the books in one, it's kind of long, but I'm excited. I'm gonna get through it. All right, let's do our shit of the week. Song of the week. Okay, Through It All, and I hate to say this, but like, he's a monolith in pop culture. I do love Elvis's music. Like, I really, I have, since I was in middle school, I obviously was thrilled

• 1:04:35Brittany Broski?

  for the movie. I still enjoy, he's on a lot of my playlists now. And in the case of Elvis, it is this strange thing of like, you choose, or maybe you don't choose, to separate the art from the artist. I don't know if you can, I actually don't believe you can, but what is to be said about the art? If it's fucking great, what's to be said? So that's kind of where I'm at with Elvis. But two of my favorite Elvis songs of all time are Kentucky Rain and Crying in the Chapel. I love those two songs. And then what I'm watching, I'm watching Hacks. I've only seen, before, we had Meg Saltzer and Hannah Einbinder on, I'd

• 1:05:15Brittany Broski?

  only seen like, three episodes of Hacks. I'll, look, I'm not an angel. I am not perfect. I'm not Sean Evans, all right? As much as I try to be, I'm not. I'll never be that bold. I am finally watching Hacks. I have never laughed this hard at a fucking TV show in my life. Like, I, I hate to be the one that's like, have you guys seen Hacks? Four years later, it's finale just aired like this year. Fuck. But I'm on, I'm almost done with season two. Bitch, I'm laughing my ass off. I'm laughing my fucking ass off. Anyway.

• 1:05:55Brittany Broski?

  Style things I'm loving. Again, I'm inspired by Sense and Sensibility. I don't know, dude, I'm gonna start, I'm gonna start braiding my hair and tying it with a bow. It is so, and I, look, my girl, my Jane Austen girl, was bitching about this online, that the hair, and I will admit, the hair in this movie, very not period accurate. Mary Ann has like greasy, stringy hair for all of it. And I know her whole thing is like, she's wild, and she runs around, she's outside, she loves nature. But like, girl, she still would have had her hair curled. It's fucking Regency era Britain. Like, she would have gone out with her hair curled, and her dress buttoned up. Like, I understand her, if, if

• 1:06:39Brittany Broski?

  we're nitpicking, like, sure. But the overall, I think, telling of the story was beautiful. And I, Daisy Edgar Jones is just the best. I love her. I love Daisy Edgar Jones. And her fashion's been killing it for this press tour. I just, I love her to death. But yeah, I'm gonna start braiding my hair with a bow. I'm just really, I really see that for myself. Sad.

  this week. Next week's Halloween. I'm so friggin' excited. I love y'all to death. Elvis has left the building, because he has to go wipe his fucking period blood that he feels going up the back of his, small of his back. I'm caught in a trap. I didn't bleed through. I didn't bleed through, so we're okay. All right, bye, y'all. All right, my subjects, go cause a little Halloween mischief. Get your costume together,

• 1:08:46Brittany Broski?
