2026 Ins: Gay & Stickers

(audience applauds) - Hey guys. - Oh. - What? - I said hi, champ. - Hi, champette. How are you? - Good, how are you? - I'm so good. Welcome back to Brook and Conor, make a podcast, Brooke. - Welcome back to Brook and Conor, make a podcast, Conor. - That's a ton to us. You don't want to get stuck in a situation where you have to say that 10 times fast. - I could if I, what if I, you know what? I was gonna say that I could if I had to, but obviously. - Well, luckily, you're not a wood chuck, so you don't have to chuck any wood today, today's? - Yeah. (upbeat music) - Today's just a good day, it's a family day. Welcome back from the holidays, everybody. What a confusing week it's been for like across the, are you confused this week? - Very much. I'm having a little bit of a hard time adjusting to waking, having the blessing and privilege to wake up early. - Nice catch? - Yeah. (laughs) - I'm having a little bit of some difficulty connecting with that opportunity. In a positive way, so. - Well said? - Yeah. - This is kind of like the time of the year where I truly, truly, truly start to understand those people that are like time is a concept that was created by man, because when someone's like Sunday, I'm like, who the fuck cares? - January as the Sunday is a Sunday. - I fully, I clicked on on Sunday where I was like, okay, time to catch up. On stuff, and I'm sending email after emailing people, I hate just reminder, it's Sunday, and I was like, and? - I, yeah, this is, it's just difficult and confusing, and I can't do anything or move from the end of November to the end of no, don't, no, December. - It's just no, so I can't take that one from the top. I can't do anything or move in a good way from the end of November to the end of December, like taking a load off, like letting myself relax, happy holidays, good, and then it becomes, I can't move in a bad way from the beginning of January to about mid-March. - So I'm actually gonna do the eggs Benedict, but no, no, no, December, though, for those. I feel the same way, but also I get like, such a fire in my belly for January, because I felt like such a lard-ass, these past couple weeks just at home, and I was kind of like stick it to the maniosis over the, where I was like, no, I'm not opening my email, I'm not opening my email, and now you pay the fine for not opening your email to it a half weeks. - Yeah, I'm struggling pretty significant. - We were actually speaking of being given blessing after blessing into skies, and sometimes they're so hidden. - Yeah. - We're actually blessed to be in like the only country in the world that I have that thing where people go on vacation everywhere else in the world for so long, like a month at a time. You know what I mean? - Well, people don't even, like, again, this is me talking out of my ass I have, as I have not lived in another country, and don't really know too much about the lifestyles of most others, but in Europe, let's say Italy, for example, 'cause that's the place I've been. I feel like they just don't need these long vacations, because they don't have the same sort of like work, life, imbalance that we do. So it's just like they don't live for vacation, 'cause not life is a vacation, but life is not like career, work, oriented the way it is here. So they don't have those high highs and low lows. - I guess what I don't understand is like, anytime I've been on a trip out of the country, and I meet people from other countries, and they're like, where are you going next? I'm like, what do you mean we've been here for eight days? We're going home, we have to go to work. And they're like, oh wow, like we've been here, we've been here, we have two more weeks of travel, and they've been gone for three weeks. - Really? - I'm like, I'm kind of confused. - What countries are you talking about where they might be from? - I met some Australians that said this, I met some Canadians that said this. - Australians, all the exact reverse of us. So maybe it was their summer. - Well, still, even in the summer, like we're not 14, like we don't get too close. - Sorry, I was thinking about when I was a teacher. - Yeah, like, I'm just confused as someone that lives in Italy, like an Italian person that works in marketing. How are you taking him on thought? - It's not the same. - Italian people don't work in coffee shop. It's not just like pizza and coffee shop. It's like, they still have office there. - No, but I think like, I'm having a hard time forming thoughts. Just you remember how early I was telling you that I'm having like, I had the blessing in privilege of waking up early, and I'm having trouble connecting with it. - Correct. - Perfecting my brain power to have more like critical conversations, like this one. Does that make sense? - I wouldn't, I wouldn't. - What is this in the critical? - What is this in the critical category? - What'd you say? - I wouldn't put this in the critical category. - I would, that's how I feel right now. - Really? - This feels critical thinking right now. - Life or death thing? - Yeah, that's just, I'm trying to tell you that's the severity of how, of the difficulty I'm having with connecting with my early wake up, is that this feels pretty, pretty high brow. It's like, I'd be much more comfortable talking about like, I don't want to say like. - You're gonna say poop. - No. Don't put words in my mouth. - I'll put poop in your mouth. - Ew. - Look at my cup. - I can't see what it says. - It was given to us during the art competition. - Oh, it's you. - You're on my cup. - That's, that's you. - Oh no, that is me. - Oh no, that's you. - Hi. - Hi, queenette. - Queenette. - Oh, double negative. - What? - Queenette, queenette would be a double negative. - What do you mean? - 'Cause a queen is queen, but queenette. Oh, that should be like a miniature queen. - Why would that be a double negative? - 'Cause chod and chodette, chod is like man. Chodette is woman, queen is woman, queenette. - I don't think you mean double negative. - Yeah, it cancels out. It might be a king, a queenette might be a king. - I'm having a really hard time following. - See, this is high brow. - Really hard time following. - This is why the princess and the P was problematic. The princess was given the opportunity to have 10 mattresses and she's complaining about a P. I've been thinking about this a lot recently. - So me complaining about my opportunity. - The princess was resting atop a mountain of probably Casper's purple mattresses. It might have been a mattress firm in there, even. And she says something's off. Something ain't quite right here. P. Puh. - I think she was on to something. - I could see you resonating with princess. (laughing) - I can't even think I'm be able to feel the P. - No, I understand feeling, like I understand feeling the P that being said, I sat on an edamame P for an entire dinner. I got up, edamame there. Like, that was my nest egg. - And you didn't feel it just direct contact? - It was a part of my experience in the restaurant. I wouldn't change it for the world. - Yeah, love that shit. - In fact, I wish I was sitting on an edamame now. - We could make that happen if it's something you really need. - My make-o-ish. - Wait, was it, I was at shelter, D-shelled. - It was D-shelled, it was one single. - Yeah, nice. - It was one single edamame. - Oh, a legume, Jen, that's Jen a legume. - You're a lot with the legume. - Low-can-u-enly, that's a, that's a-- - What did you just say? - Low-can-u-enly. - Low-can-u-enly? - Yeah. - Is that like Jen-u-enly? - Well, I have my finger on the pulse of the youth and they're saying low-can-u-enly. - I've never heard that. - Yeah, they've combined. They've married low-key and genuinely, and it's low-can-u-enly now. - I love that shit. - Yeah, I adore it too. - I'm being serious. - Like low-can. - Yeah, no, Jen, I'm low-can-u-enly. Jen, I'm low-can-u-cess. - It's really, thank you for teaching me that. Picking me off when I don't know things like that though. - No, this is, this is sometimes when I feel like we're in like the teachers, the conference room, like we're both have our mugs. I'm like, just so you know, like when the kids are saying low-can-u-enly, what they mean is low-key, genuinely, is how I feel. And when you keep saying Jen, I'm like, I caught on and like she's saying, 'cause I thought you meant that's Jen, and I'm thinking, what Jen do we have in common? - J-E-N-N. - Yeah. - And I don't know, I don't know that many Jennifer's anymore. I feel like I kind of aged out of being friends with Jen. - We might have aged out of Jennifer. - I don't know if you know any kids being named Jen. - I knew one Jen. - Well, one of my best friends is Jen. But I'm just saying, I don't think there are a Jen's being born now, unless it's G-E-N. - You know, but I bet we're about to start thinking about knowing them. Broken Connor spikes birth rates and what's using the name Jen. G-E-N. - Yeah. - No, I had several Jen's in high school and then all of a sudden they kind of like skipped a couple chapters compared to me and now they're mom of theirs. - Well, yeah. And also, I'm just thinking if I was a teacher and I got like my class list and there was a Jen, I'd be like, huh, like you don't see that anymore. what a tradition, what a, what a tradition. - Brad name. - Yeah, that's gonna be like how like there's like grandma Barbara, you don't see Barbara's anymore. - Grandma Jen, I can't picture Grandma Jen. - Yeah, we're going to-- - It's okay. - Wow, it's interesting how this name cycle, isn't it? - It really is. - Oh my. - Ah. - So I texted you earlier early in the evening, you were awake and I asked if you wanted to do ins and outs like we did last year. Do you want to do ins and outs? - I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do. - I do, I bid you. - Yeah, I thought of, here's, I thought of ins, I do not think of outs. - That's okay, I have a handful. And I think that if any of these call to us and we want to have a conversation about why we chose this, how it affects us if we have an oppositional take, we can feel free to do that in this space. - I love that corner. - Yes, and if anyone has opposing dots, we welcome them unless it's negative feedback concerning the two of us. - Yeah, this is a good warm-up for me and then we can always go back to the conversation about how careers look different in the US versus other countries. - Yes, we could revisit that. - We could revisit that. - That's something I wasn't ready for earlier. Love to warm-up, get back to it. - Yeah, and I think a lot of it comes down. Okay, let's just do ins and outs and we'll come back 'cause I just like that, I just had like, and I was just inundated with thoughts, like about dentists and, okay, let's see. - Like if they have dentists in Italy or not? - Yeah, like they must have an Italian dentist, you know? - They totally do. - But the Italians, they go, "Imagine your dentist is Italian and you have to "use your hands all the time." He's like, "Put your hands down, I have a knife." You know, like, he's in there with his tools. - You're saying Italian? - Italian is a bulldozer today. - I think that like an Italian dentist would be able to control the impulse if it wrote. - I don't know. I know, it's part of the culture there. They need to use their hands. It's like people from New Jersey. - I don't think so. I think they could control it. - Let us know in the comments if you're Italian. If you're an Italian dentist, sound off. Okay, and I would love, if you're an Italian dentist, come on over, check out my molar. I need a crown. And I'm not talking about the one I dropped. Okay, I did drop it on a plate at a restaurant. They cleared my plate. - Oh, I thought you were talking about like you dropped your crown king. - I was, but I did also drop my crown of my root canal. - True. - I told you this story, right? - Oh, god, yeah. - Okay, well, for those of you who don't know, I'll run there really quick. It fell out of the restaurant. I put it on the plate. I went pee. They cleared my plate while I was in the restroom. They dumped my whole tooth into the dishwasher. They said it's been incinerated. I said, well, that's too damn bad. Okay, I moved forward, though. You have to move forward. Do I have a crown? No. Every time I go to the dentist, they gasp. You don't have a crown. No, and look how far I got. Without all that dead weight. Anyway. Okay. - Okay. - So these are our ends and outs of 2026. So why don't you start? - How about you start? - Okay, end. - Oh my god. - Okay. - I can't explain how this was not on purpose. End. Videos of people leaving the dentist with their mouth numb. - A door. - I love and have always loved videos of wisdom teeth, people waking up, like anesthesia posts, anesthesia videos. I actually think those are funny. - I like when my new thing is like when a parent comes home and their kids are like, and they're like trying to get them like, and the kids are like, what's up with mom's face? - Yeah, we're in that like old style like YouTube videos. Like that used to be the shit that was like on Ellen, you know? And that used to be funny. - Yeah, I'm totally on board with that. - Just good, clean family, numb, mouth. - Good, clean family. - Clean mouth, mouth fun. Bring it back with your family. Good, good clean mouth fun with your family. Okay. Why don't you hit me with an end? - Every movie, book, TV show, and limited series being gay is my end. - Oh, okay. - Yeah. I think that heated rivalry kind of started something pretty big and I think that the response to that should show the major networks that we need a little bit more than a shit ton more and then all of that doubled. So I want to save many gay things as possible. In the year of 2026, there's a huge market. Show me what you got. - Show, put your money where your mouth is. - Put your money where your mouth is. Give it all to me. - Right now, push it out, push it through. As fast as you possibly can, as quickly as you possibly can, and as much quantity as you possibly can manage. - And move the needle across the spectrum to the other side for me really quick. - Thank you. That's my big one. And obviously, I don't need to touch on heated rivalry too much. - Well, we do want to do it. Oh, wait, we can do it right now. Doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. - Yeah, let's finish in some outs. - Okay. - And then I'll talk about it a little later. - Okay, we're not going anywhere. - Hey, we've got all day. - We got all day on day. Sit down, make yourself carp free, and make yourself carp free and market it. Okay. Ends, letters with no return addresses. - What's the reason behind it? - I didn't say we have to do reasons. - No, not at all. I'm just wondering if you had one. - I would love, I just think it might be fun to start sending letters with no return addresses. - Like with, will you put your name there or no? - No, so it'll be kind of like a prank call but a letter. - Yeah, I like that. - Yeah, it's kind of like forensicy. I don't know, I think it could be fun. - I agree, but I really don't know. - Also, me and my friends have a secret snow person that we do every year and the return address has been a really difficult part of that. - Well, why do you need to do a return address on a like a secret Santa? - I guess when you take it to the post office to send it out, sorry, yes, no person, thank you. - You don't have to have a return address. - At the post office, you have to. - No, because people from like Deepop don't put a return address on it, people get killed. - Okay, well, they were, they told me I had to. You went to, you went to, you went to the woke post office. - Okay, well, that's just, I'm just telling you my experience. It was a while ago because I stopped going to the post office. - I'm starting a new post office that doesn't require return. Well, actually, like I think I might have just opened up a bucket of worms that might be like, hang on, I'm taking, I'm taking letters with no return addresses out of my ends, actually. I don't, I see this going down to wrong. - I think just like if it gets lost in the mail, they have to know where to send it back to. - No, I'm gonna, yeah, I'm gonna head down to the woke post office, actually. I'm on your side again. - No, I'm not saying that, I'm saying, I don't think there should have to be a return address 'cause it kind of ruined Secret Santa. So, sorry, snowman, person. - Perfect, perfect snowperson. Okay, well, that was kind of a wash on my end. Go ahead. - No, it wasn't at all. - I mean, it in like a light-hearted, like murder mystery party type thing, but I guess when you start involving like the United States Postal Service and like a no return address situation, like it does start getting. I mean, if everyone was able to carry themselves with a little bit of fun and whimsy, like this wouldn't be an issue, but unfortunately, not everybody has that in their heart. - And the post office doesn't really have it, or the US Postal System doesn't really have it in their heart. - They don't. - If we could trust them with delivering our letters and packages to the right venue. - Right. - This could work. Unfortunately, I don't wanna shoot. Hey, listen, I didn't come here to shoot on the US Postal Service. Nobody did. - That wasn't my attention. - But sometimes things get lost. - And translation, sure. Okay, go ahead. - Stickers. - Oh yeah. - I love stickers. - I miss you. - I think I use probably 90% of the stickers from the sticker book. You got me, that thing is the best thing in the entire world. - It's hard to. - It's massive. There's the most gorgeous stickers. I have been putting them. This will come in another one of my ins later, but I have an entire journal ecosystem that I'll tell you guys about. But I haven't put in stickers on all of my journals. I've been having so much on with it. It's so fun. And I wanna bring that really back into the zeitgeist and the aesthetic of just putting stickers on everything. - You know what? I was talking to somebody about this recently. It was such a huge deal in college to put stickers on your laptop. And it would almost be like your interest. I had like-- - Yeah, it's Connor, 100%. And I want to talk about something different. - Right now you are? - Yeah, I totally know what you're saying in my laptop is kind of like that now. You would put like a college sticker on it or like stickers that you like came across naturally in life. - So that someone had a coffee shop for instance, if they catched and I they go, I know what this person's about. - Yes, I'm talking about like sticker books like you're a kid again. Like check out my hope in these things. - Where are you putting the stickers? Are you just talking, look at my hope in each of you right now? I'm talking about this type of shit. Like I'm not talking about like Boston University. - Oh, you're almost talking. - I'm talking about like sticker books. I'm a kid with my sticker book decorating. You know what this person is like? - You know what this feels like? And you're on the precipice of something. I feel like this is almost like a Tumblr-esque renaissance. I think it takes the energy that we, when we all wanted patchwork tattoos, and it makes it a less permanent and more manageable way of putting them on objects instead of your body. You know, it kind of satiates that impulse without permanently inking your frame, bridge. - Aligned, via Ray. - So I love stickers. - Yeah. - I'm gonna put them on everything. I'm gonna put them on my water bottle and I get home. - I wish I owned a home so I could do like a sticker door again. - What home did you own before that you did a sticker door? - Yeah, I guess just like my college house that I was in for three years, and then like my parents house that I was in the rest. 'Cause right now I can't really put stickers on much. - Right. - You could put tape down and then put stickers on and then I'll take the tape off. - You know what, I'm not gonna do that. - Yeah, I didn't know you were, but I was just trying to be helpful. - I was just trying to be a good person. I guess I could put them, well, no, I don't know. Anyways, wow, I really don't like mine actually. Now that yours are so like close to home. - Well, it's also a fine line between things that are in and things I just like. Like mine so far has just been gay and stickers, which like is that something that's in or are those my interests? - I think gay is in. - Stickers, I think maybe you started to, I'm sure there's a community of sticker heads that like love that idea. - There are. - Yeah, my next one, steam and fog, I'll just feel like steam really hasn't had the moment that I think it deserves that everything else has kind of gotten and across the board I'm talking, not even in the wellness space, I think like. - Are you talking about the wellness related steam or steam? - I'm talking about everything. - Talk about all steam right now. - I'm not really seeing as much fog as I used to. I don't know, I used to see like a lot of fog. I feel like day-to-day, I feel like I'm lacking fog in my life personally. I feel like we could all benefit from a little bit of fog. Steam, I see steam coming out of my dishwasher every time I open it and I go, why don't we harness the power of steam? - Yeah, you love that dishwasher steam. - I do, I love to put my face right in it when I open that thing. So I do actually use, I utilize every ounce of steam that comes out of my house. I don't know, I would like to see more steam in day-to-day, I don't know, steam and fog. - I can get on board with steam. However, I can't imagine like walking outside on a foggy day and being like, yay. - Well, you need to see the fog as an opportunity to change, to listen to the neighborhood or whoever. - But you can't even see the neighborhood. Oh, you mean like kind of when one senses dulled the other opens, so you use your listening ears instead of your looking eyes, 'cause you can't see. - I love where your head went. I was talking about like a playlist that's kind of like foggy. Like foster the people or something. - Okay. - I'll move on from that, 'cause I don't think it really landed too much. - No worries, I know more with you with steam. So fog is where I lost you. Okay, I get it. So maybe we focus on steam in 2026 and less on fog. I'm okay with that. - Okay, meet me in the middle. - I think fog is, no, fog is not steam. Steam can be fog though. - I mean, I guess fog is the steam of the weather. - Fog is the steam of nature, but fog is not fog. - Fog could be a form of steam. Steam fog is when cold air passes over warm water causing the water's vapor. I like when that happens. I like steam fog. - That can be nice. - Yeah, steam fog can be nice. - Steam fog can be nice. Okay, maybe more steam fog. And is steam fog, yes fog can be a steam too. - Yep. - Okay, we are all seeing eye to eye here on the internet, which is crazy. - And seven years ago, someone on Reddit was wondering if there's a major difference between steam and fog. - Hi, where are you sitting here? - We don't know how to go. - All right, hit me with one. - Journaling. - Okay, so yeah, you're loving journaling. - Yeah, I have four journals right now. I have four active journals right now. It's called the journal ecosystem. - Yeah. - And I think that this could really help a lot of people not only be organized, but also just kind of process thoughts in a healthy way and just shit like that. And it's also just a fun hobby. And it connects back to the stickers of everything. You can put stickers on your journals too. And it's a great outlet. I've got my Hobanichi planner right here, which I use for my daily tasks. - I can't even lost that. - What? - Have you lost it yet? - My hobo? - Yeah. - Not at all, I'm not gonna lose this. Look at all the stickers I have inside as well. And I told you this, but I have all my B&C notes in my Hobanichi as well next to my to-do list. - That's nice. - So I'll get there later. I have manifestations I wanna run by you as well. I just noticed that in my Hobanichi. - So I have this Hobanichi for my daily tasks. I have a dear diary type of diary, which my nearest resolution is to fill one up. - Cool. - I have my work notebook like writing and stuff. - Nice. - And then I have my five year journal, which is really interesting, which is what you hate that? - I hate that. - Yeah, I figured you would. - For me, I hate that. - Yeah, but it's like, it's for 2026 through 2030. And so like, what's today? January 7th has one page with five different slots and each year you fill out a different slots. You can kind of see like what you're doing on each day as five years pass or whatever. - Oh, that's kind of nice. - It is cool. - It would make me, I mean, in it, but at the end of five years, it will be so full and pretty. - My mind would have vomit on every page, 'cause I'd be like, another day, another day pass. Blah, yeah, it would throw up on every page. - Yeah. - Especially after I got like six months in it, and I'm like, you know, you're, I don't know. - But it's also cool, 'cause like-- - I have such a-- - Think about like, I could have been like, if I started this in 2024. - Right. - I could have been like, I started writing a book today. Like, I wonder if that will go anywhere. And then like, two years later, the entry on that day will be like, my book is being published today or something. Like, that's really cool to see that. - The next best time to start is now. - Yeah, and shit like that. So, that's my next in. - Okay, well, my next in is toilet paper pulling out from the bottom instead of over the top. - See, I'm not someone who ever notices that type of stuff. I'm the least observant person in the world, I think. As someone with OCD, you not noticing the toilet paper over the top under the bottom thing is very observant. - I don't have that kind of OCD at all. - Well, mine is like, if I, if it's not normal, which is over the top to me, then like, my whole day is out of whack. Like, I'm gonna think about it for like the next. If something bad happens, I'm like, it's 'cause of the toilet paper. - Oh, my OCD is like, I had a thought about like, my parents dying and they'll be dead by the end of the hour. - I don't like that, I like my toilet paper thing better. - Yeah, I would prefer that too. - But I also just, oh my gosh, I have the funniest thing to tell you. I also just saw something that said, I'm getting a lot of like the passage of time, scary TikToks, reals recently on my, on my FY. - Have you been getting that sound that's like, do you know what I'm talking about? Is he, you know what I'm talking about? What is it? It's like, ah, like scary death. Is it the, I'm here or like, mother, I'm home. - No, it's like robot. - It's like worse. - Is he, what is it? - I can't wait, do it in my head. - Yeah, it's in my head. It's not translating out my vocal cords. - Ooh, if it comes across your desk, which it probably will, after this, let's send it over my way. - It's really spooky. - But I've been getting, I mean, mine aren't scary. It's just like, here's how to, someone said like, if you change its life, like passes by really fast because we're so used to like routine, and if you switch up little things, well, your brain, like when you do the same thing every day, doesn't need to think anything, so it doesn't need to store new memories. So like, your days are passing faster, but when you change your route to work, or this is like when I said, I put my toilet paper under, so it took me a little bit longer to use it. And then because it took me a little bit longer, I missed a phone call from someone, because I missed that phone call. I had to call them back on my walk, because I was on the phone on my walk. I didn't stop and talk to like one of my friends, 'cause I didn't stop and talk to that person. They didn't tell me not to go that way, because the sidewalks closed, because I missed the sidewalk closed. I went to the next thing, and I found a hundred dollar bill on the ground, and then I used that hundred dollar bill to, I gave it to a homeless person, that homeless person? Your cancer? Bill Gates. - Talking about the butterfly effect, huh? - There wouldn't have been, yeah, and it's, but 'cause you changed small things, your brain is storing new memories and stuff, and so your time passes slower. I don't know if there's, now I said it out loud, I think that's pretty dumb, but, I think that there might be, it might hold some water. I don't know. It might hold some water. I guess we'll never know. Okay, hit me with one. Air drying your hair. I do that every day. Well, I guess I'm talking more about those of us with like long hair. I think that we, I think most people. We blow dry it? I think most people look, I'm trying to think if this is true or not. I think most people look better with air dried hair. I keep seeing these girls on TikTok that are like, I'm trying to air dry my hair. It looks so fucking bad. And I'm like, that looks awesome. Like if you didn't say anything, I have no idea that you air dried that. I think we're just so used to like doing our hair that we don't, like we think our natural hair looks bad, but it actually is really pretty in the way that our hair is meant to fall. So I air dried last night, and that's just what I'm trying to do. Oh, it looks great. What? It looks great. You must be using the OGX organ oil. I must be, but yeah, I think air drying and embracing the beauty of our natural hair and just putting less heat on it in general could be really pretty for 2026. And that way when you do do a blowout, it's like an event, not just, and it becomes special again. Okay, so that leads me to my next end. I did blow out my bangs. I want to be honest about that. If I didn't, that would be a problem. That's nice of you to be honest about that. Not talking about people with bangs right now. Yeah. Nice of you to be honest about that. That leads me to my next end, using, you really let yourself go in a positive connotation. You really let yourself go. Like loosening up. Yeah. You let your hair down. You air dry. You air dry. Did you air dry today? Baby. Yeah, I like that. Well, you really let yourself go last weekend. Woo! I like that. Isn't that fun? Yeah, let yourself go. Like that. Oh, yeah. So that's my, that's one. You got one? I have my last one. It's just board games. Okay, I like board games. That's a good one. Except categories. I think with board games, it's like, I know it's just a game, but the thing is with me, there's not really anything that's just a game. I want to win, you know? So that's why I had to stop playing Puppa, because it stopped being fun for me and it started to be an issue about friendships and my family, just like the way I would act out. I got it. I broke a club on my knee. I got it. I do a golf ball. I do a golf ball. I do a golf ball game for a really good way to engage with people and not be on your phone. Sure. Um, I agree. Have more game nights. Yeah, we just had some game nights last week. It was really fun. What did you find? The Airbnb were saying it had this game called Labopoli. Labopoli? It was lab themed monopoly, like the dog. Like labopoli? Labopoli. Yeah, that's what I was sorry. I thought you said lab. No, lab. Oh, labopoli. Yeah. Nice. Yeah, it was the exact same thing. It was just kind of dog theme. You know, I don't know how to play monopoly. It's very straightforward. It's just like anytime it's been presented to me, I'm just like nah. It's not even something that can necessarily be presented to you. You just kind of play it and it's now you do need to be kind of strategic. Sure. You need to be strategic with your places and your people. But you don't need to really think too hard about it. It's a game of strategy and patience. Did you ever play life on the computer on the computer I'm asking? Oh, yeah. I played it on the computer. Sure. I also played family feud on the computer pretty religiously. I paid for it. Oh, I paid for life and snoo'd. I've never heard of snoo'd. Oh, you're asked what a loved snoo'd. My ask would still love snoo'd. I have time. I'm young and I'm turned. Yeah. You are very young. Okay. Good move. I have my last end and then I can move to my house. Okay. I'm done. Okay. I also used to play Aqua and Energizer on many clips. I don't know Aqua and Energizer. It's the best game ever. Many clips, man. I'm not a lion. Yeah. Okay. Sleeping in a robe. It has been such a life changer for me. I get. I shower. I'm clean. Put my robe on. It's a big, thick, warm robe. I have my windows open right now because it's freezing out and I sleep in this big, thick, warm robe and then I just put one layer of blanket over me and any time I have to pee in the night. I'm not putting on. I'm not freezing shivering. I wrap my robe up. Don't you get a draft coming up? Into my under? Yeah. Carriage? No, it's long. It's like past my knees. But still like there's an open bottom. You know, you're not pinched at the bottom. No, it's not cinched. It's a little bit of Ebenezer from. Yeah. I'm not wearing pain. You're in a. It's essentially a nightgown. Yeah. Yeah. I get tangled up in my robe when I nap in it. But it's eliminated the morning part where I'm like, oh, I don't want to. It's eliminated the morning part where I don't want to get out of bed because I'm cold because I'm already warm and snug. I can be up and mobile and vertical, but it's as well snug as well. Okay. I love that. Yeah. So that's my last in. Love that. I have my outs as well. Tell me you're outs. There's a lot more outs than there were in. Do you want to kind of more rapid fire them? Yeah. I can rapid fire them. If you have something to say hit me. Okay. Number one, my out is losing my keys inside my apartment. I would like to eliminate that. It would be so easy to just like have a spot for keys, both for you and I, but it's like too hard. It would be really easy if everybody just put everything under my phone. My phone is always in my hand. Put my ID on my phone. Put my key on my phone. It is kind of shocking we don't have like key cards like hotels for our homes. I think some people do it when they live in like nice buildings. I've known some people that like to tap their phone, but I live in this place with a lot of character and crown molding and normal mold. I like crown molding. Okay. Next one, taking headphones on a walk. I think I'm going to start retiring this because I don't even have anything playing. I just don't want anyone to chat with me. Maybe I want to like ask you. You don't have anything playing on a, sorry, it's got a shiver. You don't have anything playing on a walk? Almost never. Wow. Because I want to hear other people talking and I want to hear this. This is a lie, what I was just about to say, so I'm going to restart. I've been wanting to go on a walk with no headphones to think of ideas for writing. I haven't yet, but that would be a reason that I go on a headphoneless walk and the only reason. Well, a good way to start is to put something in your headphones in, but don't listen to it. Yeah. That's nice. Headphones on a walk with nothing playing is like bringing your dead laptop to a coffee shop just to make people think that you're working on something even though you just want to go to a coffee shop by yourself. I went to four coffee shops on Monday and every single one had their outlets blocked off. And I had a dead laptop and I used to use it. They need turnover for their restaurant. What the hell is the point of a coffee shop if I can't use it to work on my laptop that needs to be plugged in at all. Everyone in West Hollywood is a writer, so they're taking up so much real estate in all these coffee shops. No one's able to sit down and buy coffee. Oh, I mean, I am beyond pissed. You need to open up a cyber cafe then. I finally found one after research, spending some of my good, hard earned time researching cafes without lets finally found one. It took a lot of researching. Good for you for. Guess who I saw there yesterday when I went to my outlet cafe. Who? Kurt from Glee. Congrats. Thank you. Congrats, grads. Okay. So it all worked out. Good. I'm happy to hear. Yeah. In the end. Stripes on your pants. Plug in the outlet. Okay. Next. Out. Every action. Sure. Next. Out. Stairs. Yeah. I've always agreed with that. A big one for me. Out. 2026. Tied to go pens. I needed one. They stink. And they don't even work. They don't work, but I would like one that works. Yeah. I would like one that works too. And they don't stink. Brooke. Give it a sniff. The next time. It like I can smell it the whole rest of the day when I have to already put it on those. They don't stink. Are you being serious? Like bad. They smell like something that I don't love. Yeah. They smell like tied. Pie? Tied. No, they don't smell like tied. They smell like flesh and chlorine. They don't smell like flesh. I want you to give it a good, good, hard sniff next time you put it on your jeans. What does flesh smell like? Like rotting flesh? I don't know. I didn't give it a smell. Give it a sniff. I don't have it. I don't have a sniff. I bet you do in your car. Next one. Public loitering. I'd like to see more of that. More? Next one. What? You want to see more public loitering? Yeah. Love it. I think we're always on the go too much. Slow down, stop and stand somewhere. Chat. Okay. Next one. Let's draw specifically their flavors. Yeah. You've been saying this for a bit now. Yeah, go to hell. Yeah. The reason it came back up is because there was a line wrapping around the block for salt and straw the other day. what are you guys getting? They're, they're table light bulb flavor. They, they do have a great classic vanilla and they have great, very most sprinkles, unlike any rainbow sprinkles you've ever had before. Just like the only thing that's, the only people that are doing it right are like the OGs, like the colvers and the bass and Robins and the, the cold stones, like they have all of those like cookies and cream, done, cookie dough, done, birthday cake, done vanilla, done ice chocolate, done. Instead of like honey, honey, crisp, apple, summer vibes playlist, 2012. I hear you. It's like shut the heck up. Okay, next one, and this is my last one, fly swatters. Out. Out. Yeah. Yeah, that's, it looks too much like, what are they doing besides existing? They look too much like spatulas to me. And they're always hanging somewhere very in someone's kitchen. And it's like, that shouldn't be here. That I think that ever, I don't know. I know there's no answer to that. And I'm not, I'm not acting like I have an answer. I just think they're gross. And they give me bad vibes. Oh, I was thinking you didn't want like to kill the flies. Are you fine with another device to kill the flies? Yeah, a gun. Okay. So I have to tell you this thing because this has been the funniest thing that's like, did you see that girl that was like, worried about the passage of time? So she was going to collect a button for every day of the, of the new year. Is you did right? No, I mean, I've seen a lot of people who have buttons for every day of the year in a jar, but I didn't know it was one specific girl. So this girl, basically, she posted on some, some thread that I'm like, or this, this video that I'm like on, or that I'm like, that's coming across my desk about like the passage time. How scary it is. And she goes, I'm getting, her name's Tamara. I'm getting 365 buttons, one for each day, because I want to do more stuff and I'm scared of time. So I want to, I want to be more conscious of it. And like, you got a lot of likes. And then the next person said, what is 365 buttons? And she said, one for every day. And someone said, yes, queen, what do you mean buttons like to wear? And she said, just to have to see how quick days pass and remind myself that time passes and just have fun and do a lot of stuff. And someone said, what are you doing with the buttons every day is what they're asking, are you putting them in a jar? Are you wearing them? And she said, she said, hey, so it actually only has to make sense for me to do it. And I don't feel like explaining it to anyone else. Hey, it keeps, it's just like a long thread. So then she goes, LMAO people are just asking you what you plan on doing like literally and physically with the buttons and probably just trying to get ideas to help themselves. And she said, I don't know and I don't have to know, okay, I just want to carry on a button every day. And then someone said, is the funniest thing I've ever seen. And then she said, someone said, she basically said, girl, IDK, don't ask me. And Tamara responds, yup. And then someone said, so you just have a button in your pocket, you walk around every day with it. And she said, no more contacting, please. Thanks, appreciate. Appreciate. And then she said, babe, you literally commented the idea, you can explain it. And she said, no, heart. Hang on, we're going to keep going. And then she said, okay, and also, I barely even know what the plan is. I went to Michael's just now and I didn't have enough money to buy the buttons and I'll find another place to get buttons. Also, I'm sorry if my tone was rude. I know it's hard to have a tone over text. I tried to keep it nice and respectful. Try to keep it nice and respectful. No, do not contact me. Okay. Someone said, please just explain, she goes, they remind me how quick time passes and to have fun and do more. And she said, girl, I'm sorry for this whole comment section. Keep us updated on the buttons. And she goes, okay, LOL. That's kind of it. I just think that I hope she does. Do you have her? No, it kept going. Holy shit. Do you mean just having a jar, so you can see the time and the form of button? Can you tell how much time you have this year? And she said, yes. I think I think that's all we needed. Yeah. No, someone said, wait, how can I do this if I don't like buttons? That's good. All right. That's it. It's not a bad idea. It didn't need to go on that though. To go to that. But it's not a bad idea. Hey. Not to bring it back to my hope in Nietzsche, but hey, so it actually only has to make sense for me to do it. Yeah, I don't feel like you're explaining it to anyone else. It's like my day tracker in the back of my hope in Nietzsche. Yeah, it totally is. Yeah, except it's a jar of buttons. It's a jar of buttons. Buttons. Sorry. You know that sometimes I do. No, it's actually totally good. Um, so we haven't talked to each other. That was our ins and outs. You had manifestations. You do do manifestations. Oh, yeah. I want to put them in our, I don't have any freedom. I'm about at that. Then let's do it in, let's do it in the bonus so that we can, we have time. Well, can I just manifest them out loud in the main? Oh, yeah, 100%. I only have two. I only have two. My first manifestation is that I want Allie Hazelwood who is my favorite romance author to do an MLM romance. So gay. Was that? Oh, so I'm wanting that from her. And I think that was multi-level marketing time. I was like, you wanted to start an MLM. Uh, man love. Is it man loves loves man or man loving man? I think it's man loving man. Yeah, man loving man. Man loving man. Yeah. So I'm manifesting Allie Hazelwood MLM. I bet that's in the works. Based on how the noodles cross. Based on how the noodles crumbling. That would, that would be everything to a girl like me. That would be seriously happy. That would eat. And then my second manifestation is just jokery. Okay. And that's it. That's those are great. Thank you. I just every time I see him, I'm like that is someone who I just feel like we could be friends with. He just seems so normal. Let's have him on. He, I don't think he would want to do that right now, but manifesting a friendship. I also have a project that I have him in mind for. And just looking to connect with jokery on a personal professional level. And that's my, those are my two manifestations. Allie Hazelwood MLM, romance novel, and jokery. I don't ask for much. I'm a simple girl. That's it for 2026. You're not simple. You're, you have layers like an onion. I just met my wishes for 2026 are simple. That's everything a girl like me could want. Come on, girl. Shake it for a real one. Anything that you're thinking? Yeah. I went to the movies the other day. Yeah. Me too. It had been on my list because I went to Michigan and Idaho. There's not a ton of screenings of really anything in those places. But I went to see Marty Supreme and it was a special screening. And it wasn't like an influencer thing. I just heard about it through the great fine. It was a 70 millimeter film. So it was, it was shown in that format. And it was like very cool. It was like a timepiece. Like you could like tell it kind of towards the end. I was like, this is hurting my eyes. But it was very cool to see it in that way. I hadn't seen it yet. The way that I could have taken his anx before that flick. Have you seen it? No. I don't even know what it's about. Is he okay? And guess what? ping pong, right? There's no way. I'm not telling anyone anything about this movie. There's just no, I wanted, I want to talk to you about it at some point because I think that you'll really, really, really like it. Really? I would. Yeah. For me, instant classic. Okay. I'm looking forward to seeing it. And I'm not being hype beast Marty Supreme guy. I'm just like, I was, I didn't know what to expect. Went I bet off every piece of my finger, cuticle and nail. Is he? Did you see it? Yeah, I saw it. Did you like what do you think? I liked it a lot. Those type of movies without saying anything like what could what are you? What could you guys be speaking? No, broke. There's the way that there's no way that you could expect. Not even not even like what happens. But like Amy, it did not let up for there was no time to pee. So, I want to say, I have no idea what to expect. I want to say, Gweneth Paltrow is like, she is exactly who she thinks she is. So excited to see it, truly. She's exactly who she thinks she is. I love it. That's what? So it's Timothy Shalman. Yeah. Wow. I love things. And that's what I really didn't, I did not want to say this about Kevin O'Leary. Never did I think this was going to leave my mouth. Good guy. I didn't say that. No. Let me know what you're thinking. Definitely did not say Mr. Wonderful. But I was I was I was nicely surprised. Is he where you? Yeah, I was. Who is he? He's on Shark Tank. Oh, I know who he is. Yeah, I kind of like it when you call me wonderful. He is in Marty Supreme. Yeah. And he has a big role. Wow. I mean, I was wowed. My hat came out. - Is he an actor? - No. - Okay, I have no idea what direction this movie could go in and I like shit like that. So look. - Yeah, I would encourage everyone to go see it when you're able to, when you're able to. I was shocked at like, I didn't see as much as I'm on my phone especially during like Christmas and years and everything, like I didn't see any spoilers at all. Nothing, like I went into this blind. There's one part that really, really bugs me and I want to talk to you about it when you get there and see if you have the same thought. - Maybe I'll go this weekend. - Can you close your ears for a second? - Hmm. - Sure. - Just close like physically. The dog, you guys, what the hell? It's still bugging me. Like I need more answers about the dog, it was okay. Okay, you're good. - Good. - Yeah. - Okay. - I sell new movies. - Unless you have anything else. - No, I have one more thing. - Okay. - No, no, no, it's not about that. I'll go after you. We'll go tip for tat. - Okay, I saw the house made. - Yeah. - Which I genuinely thought was so good. - Wow. - It was good for what it was. It was exactly what it was supposed to be. - Well, it's about a, it's a rendition of a book, right? - Yeah, it was a great, very faithful adaptation. Very entertaining. - Very novel. - That's awesome. That's great to hear from you. - I mean, you can't possibly not be entertained, which is why you see movies like that. - Yeah. - I'm not going for an Oscar winning performance or film. I'm going to be entertained and hell I was. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, yeah. - So I saw that. - I'll go. - I would see that. - I would recommend it, honestly. I saw people we meet on vacation last night. - Yeah, I want to hear about this, because, you saying romcoms are so back, I'll be the judge of that. - I don't. - You and me have to coincide together on this romcoms are so bad. - I do think this is more of a female gaze romcom. - Who's in it? - Tom Blice and Emily Bader. - The way those are made up names. - You know Tom Blice. So Emily Henry is like, probably the most. - You should. - Remy Bader's in it. - What? - No, Emily Bader. She's not like, she, I don't know. - I don't think she's been in much. She was in like, is it my lady Jane? Is what she's known for? But I haven't seen her in anything else. - I don't know who Tom Blice is. What is he in? - He was in the Hunger Games. - The new one? - Sun rise on the reaping. Nope, that's the new one. Songbirds and snakes, he was president's now. - I didn't see either. - You didn't see? - Well, he was president's now. Before he was president. - I've never seen any of his. - His. - I'm gonna be honest. Like the guy, a pretty severe amount. - That's shocking. That's my. - Yeah, you might not have expected it. Pretty intense feelings. I do think Emily Henry is like, one of the most famous romance writers of this generation. She is a fan favorite. And this was her first book to move the adaptation. So people are really, really excited about it. - Oh great. - It was great. I do think it's more for the girls who love the rom-com novels. It's not like a 51st dates. - I see. - Type of rom-com. - Thank you for clearing that up. I don't know how you will feel about it. I really loved it. I thought it had, it maintained the essence of the book while also being very different. Because I just finished the book the other day. So I was very much like comparing and contrasting the two non-stop. It was pretty damn different while being the same. - You went to Julliard, wow. - He's awesome. - He's awesome for him. - So it was cool. - Oh, it's exciting. - Great. - And Lucas Gage is in it. - Oh, cool. - And a lot of people you will recognize. Molly Shannon, isn't it? - Who love Molly Shannon. - I love that shit. - Jimmy Ligemail? - Yep. - Oh, Sarah Katharine Hook, or girl? - Sarah Katharine is in it. - Wait, did you see the rumor that she and Milo maybe got cast as entangled? - I did see that. Do you feel comfortable checking in with Milo about that to confirm? - You know that I can't do that. - Why? - He probably signed an NDA. - Oh. - So, I saw it's just thing on. And then, which. - Ty will our net best friend. - What? - We can speak of that. - Yeah, I got to sit down with Will or Ned. I know the entire family lineage now. - That's crazy, Connor. - It was pretty cool. It happened very quickly, but it was fun. The movie, I really need you to see. - Like in a good way? - Yeah, it's a think piece to me. The way, you know how we like, we really like this is 40. - Yeah. - And it's light and it's airing, it's funny. This is kind of like, this is also funny, but it's more of like a realistic. - Yeah. - Like realism piece of this is 40. Like there's a lot of like, it's a coming of age movie for people that are like middle age. Like, you know what I mean? - You know, that's how I've been describing Phoebe. - Yes. - Coming of age for people who are supposed to already be of age. Love, that's my favorite genre. - Yeah. - So you have me? - It's sold. - It's kind of like that. And then he basically has fallen into and he being will or not. He's getting divorced from Laura Dern in the movie. - Love her. - Great cast. And he basically falls into stand up comedy. And it's like a shameful day. It's like a funny thing how it comes out as like, wait, you've been doing stand up? Some people are like, Bradley Cooper directed it. He's in it, he's funny in it. And his dad's like, oh my god, I had no idea. He knew he was getting divorced. He knew that like the kids were living with like the Laura. But then his dad finds out he's doing stand up and he like goes white in the face. He's like, I didn't know your life had come to like this. - Like it's worse than the door. - Stand up, like how what is going on in your life that you've actually fallen into stand up? - Yeah. - So we talked about that. I would love if everyone went and saw it. I think it's out in theaters, it's a thinker. - People have a lot of movies to see. - It's great. And it's good movies too. Now one that can probably go to hell is Chris Pratt's in a movie that's all AI. That's in theaters. I won't even name it. It's fully, I think it's going to theaters. Very bizarre. Good luck to you. I'm sure that'll be easily digested by both of the people that watch that stuff. - Speaking of media to consume, here's the thing about he had rivalry. - Yeah. - I'm not even gonna talk about it because I'm gonna talk about it somewhere else. Wink, wink. Just, what is that mean? - Just wink, wink. - You're gonna talk about it somewhere else? - Wink, wink. - No, there's nothing behind you. - What? - It's just, don't even worry about it. Like you will hear what I have to say about it. - Oh my God, are you? - I just wink, wink. Connor, leave it at that. And I just want to let everyone know that I am in collective psychosis with you. There's been a lot of language I've been seeing about being in a sleeper cell. That like the one direction girls have been in a sleeper cell for years. And we finally, we just woke up. And I feel that so intensely. And I just want everyone to know I'm so here with you. And I will be speaking about it in greater detail later. Thank you. - Wow, fabulous. - Fabulousity. - That's so exciting. - Yeah, it's changed my life. It's changed the world as we know it. I'm not being dramatic. It's in my DNA. My DNA has been shifted and altered to accommodate Illya and Shane. I'm pretty severe. - The whole, the whole space. - Yeah. - Wow, that's awesome. I'm so, so happy for you girls. - Thank you. I love being obsessed with something. - Yeah. - And this is like pretty, pretty severe. - Awesome. - Thank you. - Watching all of the items you were able to collect in such a short amount of time. - Thank you. And I'm also obsessed with, aha, sausage, who gives a fuck? - Yeah. So I gotta go piss girl. - I have to go piss. - Girl. - Girl. - Well, ladies don't piss, Brooke. - What do we do, Tinkle? - No, I don't know, what do ladies do? I guess yeah, you Tinkle. - Yeah. - Men piss. - Yeah. I have to go twinkle and I'll talk to you in the bonus. I want to add my manifestations in the box and we need to get rid of the old ones, start now. - Well, I need to see if any of mine came true. - Okay. - Maybe I need to re, we look at them all the time. They all came true. - I don't think mine did. - Okay, we'll go look at it. We'll do, look at those in the bonus. - All right, I am gonna go see you about a guy and you are gonna go see you about a twinkle. - Okay. - See ya. - All right, thank you guys for listening, happy new year. - Happy new year. - And we'll see you in the bonus.
