The 100th episode of "So True" celebrates a milestone with a playful yet heartfelt tone, centered around the misdelivered "60" balloons that humorously symbolize a "lucky number" tied to the host. The conversation dives into personal growth, reflecting on how the 30s bring a shift from youthful idealism to a more grounded, self-aware existence. Hosts share candid moments, including a fictionalized incident involving a mistaken belief about a friend’s sexuality, serving as a comedic lens to explore deeper issues of identity, judgment, and authenticity. The episode critiques societal norms—such as the high cost of access to arts and the expectation of male validation—while advocating for self-worth beyond external approval. A major theme is the return to simple, human-centered living in 2026: screen-free nights, board games, homemade meals, long walks, and handwork like sewing. These activities are presented as essential for reconnection with friends and a return to joy and authenticity. The hosts also touch on cultural shifts, like a revival of vintage fashion and the rise of tabletop games such as D&D, emphasizing community, play, and physical engagement. Ultimately, the episode fosters a message of liberation—encouraging listeners to stop seeking validation from others, embrace their own value, and live with no apologies for their true desires and passions.
- Wave. - I found your grinder account. And let me just stop you, right? - Let me stop you. - You sneaky conniving. - Oh me? - You. - Sure. - What were you doing going through my iPad? - Well. (laughing) - What were you doing to my cat? - I wanna see a tablet. (laughing) (upbeat music) - So, Brittany, I'm so delighted to tell you that this is our 100th episode of So True. Now, you're probably looking at the- - It's the big 60. - The 60 balloons that we have here. What happened was my beautiful gorgeous perfect assistant Michelle. She ordered the balloons to be delivered here. And they brought, instead of bringing the numbers 1,00, they sort of inexplicably brought the numbers 6 and 0. And then when she at the door with the man said, "Hey, this is supposed to be 100." He said, "That's crazy." - Right. - Here's a 6 and a 0. (laughing) - Oh well. - So, that's what we've got going on for our 100th episode is the number 60 in the background because they just decided. - You know what they say. Lucky number 60. - Okay number 60 and that's you. - Yeah. - Very me. - That's you. - 6, 7, 6, 7, what is that? - I still don't understand that. - You wouldn't get it. - I don't get it. - Yeah. - And I'm not trying to get it. - I don't think you need to. - I'll say with that kind of stuff, I've moved on. I'm on a higher plane. (laughing) - Oh, you start hanging out in Merrill Street. You think you're better than 6, 7. - Yes. (laughing) - Yes. - You might be right. - Yes. - I'm not trying to understand that stuff. - Yeah. - Because I think there's kind of nothing sadder than getting into your 30s. Once I turned 30, I said, do you know what? - Just period. (laughing) - There's nothing sadder than getting into your 30s. - Get the big 30s? - Yeah. - No, I love being in my 30s. But once I turned 30, I said, there's nothing sadder than being the guy who doesn't understand young people stuff and he's obsessively trying to prove that you kind of do. - Yeah. - I'm like, no, I don't get that out. It's not for me to know about that. - Hello fellow youths. - Yeah, it's scary that. - One of the most impactful memes of all time. - I agree. - Hello fellow young people. - Yeah. - Yeah. - That's how I feel sometimes when I'll have people come up to me and they'll be like, I started watching you when I was in high school and I'm graduating college. What the fuck are you talking about? - I beg your pardon? - Why would you ever say that to me? - I beg your pardon? - You wanna know something else? I did recess therapy on Monday in this beautiful city of New York, okay? - I'm sitting there with a youth. - Yeah. - I'm speaking with the youth. - With the youth and Julian. - He goes. - Cute, by the way. - Very cute. - Julian. - Julian, sexy. - Julian has an energy. - Yeah. - Julian, we're looking for a third. - Julian, we're looking for a third of you're interested. I'm not gonna say what you'll have to do, but I'd call it cleanup crew. - Yeah, it's cleanup crew and also knitting club. - Yeah. Are you gonna be knitting during the episode? - If you don't mind, I've just got some work to do last minute work. - You've gotten too comfortable with me for sure. - Yeah. - I haven't even taken my pants off yet. - You won't take me seriously. (laughter) - Don't say that. - We'll bring in the 60 balloons to you. - Lucky number six. - Number six, oh. - I was with the children. - Yes. - And this kid in the middle of me saying something. He had asked me a question halfway through decided he didn't care about my answer. He goes, "How old are you?" - Well. - Yeah, well right. - Answer him. - He goes, "How old are you?" I said, "How old are you?" He goes, "8." I said, "Well, I'm 20 plus 8." He goes, "What?" - Well. - I thought you were like 36. - Oh. (laughter) - Oh, I looked at his dad. I said, "Oh, that's not, oh." - I said, "That's unbelievable." - Unacceptable. - Yeah. - "Bring back hitting kids." "Bring back spanking, bring back the belt." - The belt. - "Bring back going and picking a switch." - Yeah, bring back hitting the switch for someone else's kid. - Yeah. - I should be able to beat your kid because he said that to me. - Well, everyone wants to be a part of a village, but no one wants to be a village. (laughter) - And apparently I'm an elder. - Let me hit your kid. - The village elder, let me hit your kid. - Yeah. - To our village elder. - Say you are. - You are girl. - You will not scare me into being afraid of aging. - I'm not afraid of aging. I'm loving it. - Yeah. - You're an elder currently. - I'm more of an elder. - I'm like, I'm the eldest. - I turned 30 and I felt a release. I can't even explain to you. - Yeah. - It's like, there was something about my 20s that I was like, I was always like, my 20s, my 20s. My 20s have to be so special. - 100%. - I turned 30 and I was like, maybe. - Yeah. - It's five o'clock somewhere. - And it always is. - It's always five o'clock somewhere. - And it's always the 60th episode somewhere. (cheering) - Big 60 row. How do you feel? - I feel like, y'all should definitely get a refund for the balloons you got. - Yeah. - We'll be pursuing that. - Okay great. - Yeah. - You have been with So True since the very start. - Caleb, it is my honor and privilege you have been one of the first. - You were one of the first and we actually recorded, I don't know, do we ever talk about on one of your episodes? The episode that you recorded and we didn't get to put out. - Ooh. - One of the funniest pieces of lost media that's ever existed. - We went really hard on that on the least episode. - Can I say something? We're funny. - You and me? - Yeah. - I would love to feel that someday. (laughing) - I wish I could agree. - Yeah, I wish I could agree. - I wish I could agree. - I watch our stuff and I see people having fun with it and I go, "What are they seeing that I'm not?" - If you got it, you got it. If you don't, you clip it and post it on TikTok. - You clip it and post it on TikTok and that's what I'm doing. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I do feel like our friendship is a lot of just clip farming. - If for sure. - Yeah. - I would say our friendship is 90% business, public-facing relationship. - Yes. - When I asked you, I found out you were gonna be in New York from like an Instagram story. And I immediately called you and said, "Don't you ever "in your fucking life." Post on Instagram that you're gonna be in New York City and not have texted me first. And I thought I really had you. I thought you're gonna be like, "My bad." And then you go, "How the fuck am I supposed to know where you're at?" (laughing) And I was like, "Whoa!" Whoa! - Where in the world is Caleb Aaron? - But you did accuse me when I asked you to come on the show of using our friendship for views. And I just wanna say, all jokes aside, I 100% am. (laughing) - I don't like you much. - Yeah, I hang out with you for the views, yeah. - Under these lights, magic happens. - Under the, this is, we come here for magic. - We come here to this theater. - This theater, huh? - For magic. - And once the camera's cut, this will be our interaction. All right, thanks for doing it, Bernie. - Yeah, when is this releasing here? - This comes out January? - January 8th. - Great. - Okay. - Yeah. - I'll have the like, indie eight drawn up by then. (laughing) - And we go back to our separate dressing rooms. - Yeah. - Oh God, I do wish we had a, what's funny? - I think about our friendship to me is that, I think when people see us online and Drew as well, which Drew is not here and that's obviously a benefit. - She's passed on. - She's passed on? - Yeah. - In California. - She's just in California. - She's in a different place. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - But people see us online and I think they think that when we're together, it's like, I don't know, like we're like both like the squirrel from Ice Age or something. (laughing) - Scrat. - Like we're like fucking bangin'. Yeah, we're like bangin' shit into the ice and like running around crazy and giggling the whole time. And then we're hanging out. Like what are we holding each other, chance of me like you are worthy of so much more than you know? - I can't live in high, we're just talking. Like before we come out here and we're like, but whole, but the bubble pick of the day, we do, who are you outside of yearning? (laughing) And who are you? Who are you in having? - On the podcast, we're like man, I would binge you over right now if these cameras weren't on. Five minutes ago off camera, we're truly over there being like outside of wanting, you have value. - No matter what, you have value. (laughing) - Oh, it's so stunning. - I love it. - I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it. - I love being a girl. - I love being a girl too. I think we should start planning more dates. - Me and you? - Yeah, you and me. - I tried to take you on a date tonight and you canceled on me. - I did actually cancel on you. I have to go to the ballet. - Yeah, I made a date for us tonight. Actually, it's kind of sad because actually, you had told me we could go on a date tonight. So I made an assemblance of plans. I made, I planned like two or three events. - Don't hold me there. - You know that I did. That concert that I was going to take us to. - Yeah. - And then I had a members only event at the museum that I was going to take you on a date to. And you text me back and you go, you go, "Shitter, I'm set to glory. "You know I had a thing with the ballet." - Well, and that brings me to my so true. If we could just fucking get into it. - Let's do one now, do a so true. - Do a so true. - No, 'cause I have two more after this. We can just keep circling back. - Brittany Renee Brosky. What is so true to you? - You know what's so true right now, to me in this moment, I came in hot today. Art, specifically live theatrical art, like the opera, ballet, live theater, Broadway, whatever. This is the city. To do it. - Stand up, stand up, stand up. Say stand up. - Stand up. - Stand up comedy. - Thank you. - Guys, go to see stand-ups, specifically at. - Please, we'll put it in there. - Okay, yeah. Over my mouth. - Yeah, wherever I'm performing. - Yeah, yes. - We'll clip this every time I do a show. Now on, go see stand-ups, specifically at. - The laugh hub in Seattle. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Extra night added. - Yeah. - Sold out. - See Caleb here in line. - It's just you doing this? - Yeah, yeah. I'm done. - But yes, art. - Art. - Right, art. - There should not be a barrier to entry on live art, okay? There is a class we're going on. - Yes. - You and me are, we're up on the funeral pyre, unfortunately. (laughing) This keeps coming up. - Oh, yeah. - Yeah. - Specific, get him. - Get him, specifically. - Yeah. - It's honestly trying to get these ballet tickets. Like, it should not cost an arm and a leg. And it's also a big ass, stupid ass, dumb ass, New York red flag when you go, and it's all old people in the audience. 'Cause they are the only people that can afford those tickets. It is so upsetting. And I think ballet is such, it's an art form that needs to be preserved. - Let's talk about old people, okay? They bought houses for 17 cents. - Yep. - And then they hoarded them, huh? And then they became property criminals. Now they rent them out to people for tens of thousands - Yep, I'll turn it on.
a house in LA once that was for rent for $11,000 a month. - A big bedroom. - It was like four or five bedrooms with a pool in the backyard and stuff. - Oh, okay. - But the people bought it, two doctors, bought it for like $175,000 in the '90s, and they've long since paid that mortgage off, and now they are just banking $11,000 a month. - It's criminal! - So go to jail. - Go to jail actually. - So go to jail. - For free right now. - 'Cause you don't have to charge that much. - No, jail no parole. - There is no livable reality, where you should be charging $10,000 a month for rent, for the shithole that is Los Angeles. - Get a grip. - Get a grip. It is not right with these old people have done, and now they're spending that money to go to the ballet, and you're not there, and that's not right. - That's not right. - No, that's not right at all. You deserve to be there. - And some dumb fucking idiot is sitting in my seat at the ballet. - Yeah. - And they're not looking at the bulge the way that I would be appreciating the bulge. - That's almost certainly true. - And it's not about the bulge. Caleb's not making it sexual. It's not about the bulge. - Right. - It's about art and not see how he gas lights me on camera. - Yeah. - It's about the art. It's about the synchronicity of the dancers. It's about the live orchestra. - I think God every day that you were brought into my life. - I don't know how I got to stop it. - Stop it. - You know what I feel the same. - I wanna say something to you. - And can we, we have a lesbian to think for introducing us actually. - Give me space to talk to you really quick. - Go ahead. Every single. - Don't care. (laughing) - Brittany, stop. Not everything is silly. - You're being bad. - Every single day, I can't believe that I got lucky enough to be your friend. And that being said, you have got to stop voting Republican. (laughing) It's really not funny 'cause I do that bit on this show sometimes, but it's seriously behind closed doors. - It's because of my sweater, isn't it? - Yes. I said she's showing up in American flag sweater, talking about the call centers in another country. - Yeah. - Hold on. (laughing) - Now, tell me about your perfect day. (laughing) - Can I tell you about the worst day that I would wish on someone else? - Oh, absolutely. - I want a day full of little inconveniences. - Yes. - Everything goes wrong. - Yes. - Miss your bus, maybe step and shit. - Yeah. - Maybe you're late. Maybe you have an eatin' all day. Maybe you have really bad coffee breath. Maybe you're self-conscious about it all day. I want little things. Drop your keys, your fuckin' sweater gets caught on the door, like it rips. The person that you're like really beefing with the worst, it's a psychological game, right? I really want you to suffer not in a major way, but in like a push 'em to the brink, right? Thoughts on that? - I've wished horrible things on people who cut me off in traffic. (laughing) I mean, I don't mean it, and I don't dwell on it, but for just a second, you're gonna tell me right now, someone speeds past you in a reckless way, and you don't go like, "If they got in a crash, it would be on them." - Right. - I don't want it. - Right. - But there's a part of my brain that goes like, that would be the consequence of it. - Where's the Christian part of your brain? Like, what if he's rushing his wife to the hospital? - I tried to do that. I tried to do that. There's a thing for that. - You have such a dark spirit that it overpowers. - There's a name for that, where you assume that everyone has a circumstance. It's like some kind of cognitive something, something. - Yeah. - But I'm not in therapy like that. - Mm-hmm. - I don't care about mental health. - I'm mentally healthy. (laughing) - I feel fine. - I feel good. - So I feel like everyone else, y'all are kind of making it up? - No, well, no. Some people, yeah, I mean. (laughing) Some people, some people, I feel they, you know, here's what I'll say. - Okay, just say it. - There is such a thing as spending too much time thinking about your mental health. - Thinking about yourself. - And yourself. - Let's talk about this actually. - Get off it, get over yourself. - Here's the thing. I'm off. - They're coming off. - The flats are off. - And I'm gonna reveal my moose knuckle to the camera now. - Yeah. - I'll hide it until the end. - Yeah. - Okay, stick to the end. - Stick around for moose knuckle reveal. - Until we get the right balloons and my moose knuckle. - Yeah. - Here's the thing about doing too much intensive therapy, okay? - Yes. - Your navel gazing, your navel gazing, your head's gonna go up your pulse eventually. If you're bent down like this, thinking about yourself the whole fucking time, the serious cure, like a quick cure to if you're like, I can't stand this anymore, like I'm so deep in my head, think about someone else's problems. - Yes. - And how you maybe could help them. - Yeah. - I swear, I just dealt with this with a long-term friend of mine. She's really been struggling. We went on a girls trip and hearing about everyone else's struggles and how deep, and what's that phrase? It's called not wanderlust, it's the other one, where you realize, oh, everyone is as complex and gray as I am. - Oh yeah, that's like one of those things that they have like a Swedish word for. - Yes. - Yeah, they're like-- - They're pumped in Flutin. - Yeah, exactly. - It's like the realization that other people exist, yeah. - Chippin Vazatin? - Yeah, that kind of shit, yeah, yeah. - It's very that where, oh yeah. Other people feel as deeply as I do. And like, it's not always about me all the time. And I think it's so easy, especially as Americans, to have that be your accepted reality. And it's so, and this sounds so like, yeah, fucking duh, to do something kind for someone else. And not only will that make you feel good, but it'll also take you out of your own head. It's the ostrich taking its head out of the sand. - Yeah, I mean, it's good. Do something for someone else. Think about someone else, get over yourself. You've got to get over yourself. Get over it. - It's not to say don't think about yourself. Ever, of course, we all think about ourselves, but like the constant turning over of am I a good person? Am I doing good? Am I feeling good? Am I a good person? Am I a good person? Stop, just exist, chill out, yeah. Because also what it forces you to do when you're constantly doing that is by constantly evaluating yourself, you start to evaluate everyone else. And so then everything you hear all the time, you're looking for like, you shouldn't have said that. You shouldn't have done that. You shouldn't be like that. You should do, it's like, yeah, or you could fucking relax and get over yourself. And by virtue of that, get over everything. And just like more often be in a state of like, yeah, and give you things okay. Because you need to give yourself grace. You need to stop yelling at strangers in traffic. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. And in that way, I think I will change. Because I do have road rage and I'm gonna work on it. Guys, see healing is possible. Our next guest will come and sit in this chair and get us there so true back to you after these ads. Wait. (clapping) Wait, what happened? It's your show. You see how I did that? I commanded the scene. Yeah. Okay, let's do a scene. Let's do a scene. Look, just told me I need to get into acting. Yeah, let's do a scene. Okay, I think that you would be a good actor. Thank you. I already am. Actor, actress. Actor. I don't do gender when I do actor. Everyone's an actor. Got it. Yeah. So the scene, and you know, I'm obviously a decorated performer already, so this is the scene. I have been away, I am your husband. Okay. I have been away on work for three months. What do you do for work? I am an insurance salesman. Got it. Yes. And I've just come back, and you are trying to tell me that you want a divorce, and you're not even fully sure if you believe that. Oh, like there's still something here. There's doubt, but you think, you think divorce is the thing you have to say. That's something you're wrestling with. That's your conflict. Okay. And for me, I did cheat on you on the work trip. Well, that was going to be about, okay, start this. Yeah, but you don't know that, by the way. Right. I have a female intuition. I have a sense. Women always know, kind of. Yes. Okay. Yes. Okay. Ah. It's good to be back from my work trip. Where nothing happened. Mm-hmm. Nice to see you. You have a glow about you. I just love work. Yeah. Do you have a good work trip? Yeah. Fouquets beautiful this time of year. Okay, let's talk really quick. Sorry. Okay. So you obviously there for a moment kind of started to laugh at what I was saying. Yeah. Sorry. I remember I was with my friend Kayla, but I wanted to make a penis joke. Yeah. Do you want to do it now while we're out of the scene? Yeah. Because I want to take the scene. Bangkok. Fuck it. Bangkok. Okay. Okay. Back. Don't laugh. Back to the scene. Okay. We're going to go back in. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. - Seven. (laughing)
(laughing) - What are you doing going through my PSP? - Will you-- (laughing) Grind around my PSP. Okay, hold on. - Grind around my PSP. - Okay. - You keep the notifications on. So not only that, but you also leave the sound on. You were gone for two months Caleb. You realize that two months? - Go ahead. - On, on, on. You left it on the charger. It's ping, ping, ping, ping. I get so sick of it. Two weeks in, I go and check. What is it? Mask for mask? No fats? - Mm-hmm. - No fams? - Yep. Go ahead. Are you done? - I just think that-- - No, 'cause you've got it all figured out. - Yeah. - No, 'cause you've got it all figured out, right? - No, you tell me, 'cause I don't know if I'm understand. - No, no, no. No, Antoinette, because you've got it all figured out. (laughing) - Stop it, Renee. - Antoinette, you've got it all figured out, right? - Sure. - I feel like I have the picture painted for me very clearly. - Yeah. So, okay. Four months ago, when we were at dinner at Red Lobster, and you had the endless shrimp, and they asked you if you would please be done soon. Do you remember that? You said, let me get another plate of the shrimp, and the server said, "Mam, can you please be done soon?" We're not doing good. - So, you're bringing up my eating disorder in front of the fucking camera? - No, no, let me ask you. Do you remember that night? - I remember that night. - And do you remember what you said to me at that dinner? - I bet you don't. I bet you don't. It's actually funny. I bet you don't, because the way that you're trying to corner me right now. Antoinette, you said to me. God. - Just say it, just say it. - I will. You said to me, "God, Caleb, I wish more than anything in this world that I had a gay best friend whose mask and thin." Did you not say that to me? Did you not say that to me? - context is important, but yes, I did say that at the Lobster. - You said that to me. - And so, even though I find gay people fucking disgusting, and I think they're all gonna burn in hell. - Yeah. - Because of my upbringing. - Uh-huh. - I went on grinder.com on my iPad. - Oh, you did that for me? - Yes. - And I'm messaging these fucking freaks. - Yeah. - Asking them, "Are you mask, are you thin?" She doesn't want to film fat one. I've been saying, my wife needs a gay best friend on there. - And Stutter again? - And then I go to, and then I go to Fouquet for a work trip to pay for your fucking nails. - Funny, he told me he was Bangkok. - You said Bangkok. - Sure. - Sure. - So what do you have to say to that? - You know what I'm saying, funny? - Tell me, "I can't wait to see what you find funny." - You know what I find funny is on this app, grinder. Your profile uses my photos. You meeting up with these gentlemen? - That 100% tracks with my version of the story. - I'm trying to find you a gay best friend. - Right, sure. - Can I ask you a question? - Ask me. - Just 'cause we're into it. - Were you physical? Did I sleep with some of the guys? Of course I did. Are you fucking insane? - What do you think I'm a fucking idiot? - These tight young men come to me trying to be friends with my wife, right? I'm gonna fuck them and make sure that they're actually gay. - So they don't steal my wife. - I swear sometimes you're so fucking dense. Yes, I fuck these guys to make sure they were gay. So they don't steal my wife. - Domaz? (laughing) - Okay, cut. Obviously. - You wanna do, okay. - Sorry, cut. I just feel like, did I take it too far when I-- - I just feel like you leaned into the verbal a bit. Like it felt very real. It felt very marriage story for a second. - Yeah. - But then we really brought it back. And I think I have a resolution to this. - Okay, ready? - Let's go back into the scene. - Let's go back in. - Of course I fuck these guys. So I know that they're gay. So they don't fuck my wife. - I have something to tell you. - Just I feel honestly like hearing you say that. It's making sense. Like, I honestly believe that. And it just feels like, I have something to tell you. - Pull it together. - I made-- - Pull it together. - I also made a grander account. Okay. And I went to long-end on my iPad, on my Galaxy Note 7. And we used the same fucking email. And I just knew in that moment, like, I've been thinking about it to force. I've been thinking about this guy's fucking gay. Like, I don't really, you know, I'm not like physically trusted to him. And like, I don't know if we were ever in love. But when I saw you, you used the same fucking longer. - I'm not gay. I'm not gay. - I literally knew. - I'm not gay. - But like, that's my man. Because if you made the grander account with the same email. ♪ Getting caught in the rain ♪ ♪ If you're not into yoga ♪ ♪ If you have a brain ♪ ♪ If you love me, you love me tonight ♪ - Scene. - Okay. - Okay. - Was that electric for you? - There's something here. - Yes. I felt, and I'm not Kayla's, I know it feels like it was silly, but like. - That wasn't silly to me. - I actually felt very connected and dropped into the scene. And I loved being in that with you. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - We should write something. - We should, we should make a movie. - We should write a stage show. - Kayla, should make a baby. - I mean, that would legitimately be magic. (laughs) - Very attractive, child. - Yeah, I mean, that's a gorgeous little kid and that's a brilliant little kid. I'm hoping that if we were to have a baby together, I hope that it might exhibit some of these qualities. - All right, so what is this clipboard I am wondering? - So we found your LinkedIn account. - I'm so. - What the fuck is going on? - The bio, I just hope that if we were to have a kid that maybe the kid would have some of these qualities. (laughs) - Brittany, Gigham, intelligent, creative, ambitious, and exceptional leader. - Are any of those things false? - An optimistic team member who earns trust easily. (laughs) - This was also before chat GPT. - Came up with that, all of my loans. - Builds positive relationships and is able to work well in a group setting. And what I like about that is it doesn't say she will. - Yeah, she's able. - If necessary. - If necessary, can, can and an emergency. - Sure. - A skilled communicator who delivers messages and ideas effectively as well as an expert listener has not been my experience. (laughs) - The first falsity and problem solver. What, tell me a little bit about this. - You know my passion for people started very young. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Ever since I was just a little tight. - Yeah. - And is tight a slur for a child? - No. - Should be. - It's close to a slur for a different group of people, but it's a letter off, yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think we should bring back tikes for kids. - Tikes for kids. - For kids. - Okay. - Anyway. - Yeah, I'm in. You got me, I'm in. - I appreciate your support. - What's it? - Yeah, I kind of came up with that all on, oh, don't be like some, 'cause I needed to communicate. I'm the personality higher, right? Nothing about that says actually I'm ready to work and I'm excited to work and I wanna be here. - No. - In fact, I don't, like the opposite is true. Fuck all of you guys and fuck any job that would require me to work in a team setting. - Yeah. - I'm not doing that. - Fuck a job. - Fuck a job. - If you're listening to this right now and you have a job, quit. - Quit unless you work for me. Quit your job. - Quit your job. - Or if you work for anything that I enjoy or like, you know, any movies or TV shows that I enjoy, don't quit, like keep your job. - Most of my listeners quit your job. - Adele. - Let's restart your job. - Adele. - Rihanna, get back to the original job. - Yes, listen to me very close to Rihanna. - Rihanna. - Studio. - No. - Frank Ocean, join her. - Frank Ocean, can I talk to you guys outside? - Adele, quickly behind them. - Sure. - Adele, get back to that studio girl. - Adele's being a mom. - Yeah, she needs to mother the microphone in the studio. Let's raise the volume in the headphones so she can lay down that track. - I've had it. - Adele, get to the studio, bitch. What is it, 34? What are we, where are we? - Yeah, yeah, where are we, where are we? 3736, I don't know where you're at, girl. - Done matter, girl. - Lock in. - I feel like. - Can I say another thing? - There we go. - Sam Smith. - Sam Smith. - Get back to the basics. - We need the James Bond 8 soundtrack. - I don't care what's happening in the body shop. Get on that piano and talk to me about unrequited love. - Yeah, mommy don't know. - Mommy don't know and mommy don't want to know. - Yeah. - Get in the studio and make some sad piano songs about being unlovable. Now. - Now. - Now. - I yearn for the era where there were a lot of big fat singers singing about Ain't Nobody Want Me. - Big body. - Big body and able bodied singers. - Big and able singers singing about. ♪ Can I leave? ♪ - Yes. - You can. - You can, going. ♪ Your side ♪ - What? - Next to you. We could do a live show and we will. And Sam Smith, I want to say to you furthermore. Sam, get in the studio and make me some sad songs on the piano and it's January when the subset comes out. I want to see them in my inbox by February. - Okay. - That's enough time. - Sam Smith, I have a different request. - What are you doing? - I want you to be happy. I want you to live in your truth. - My fucking god. - I want you to, don't listen to the opinions of gay comedians. They are not on your side. I'm on your side. - Okay. Sam Smith, we've been told, I don't know if you get this as well. We look alike. - Just give me a second. I feel fiercely defensive of you because you see how he talks about you. Imagine how he talks about me behind closed doors, okay? I feel like if you were to put up a side by side of me and Sam Smith, twins. - Are you craving anything right now? - Right now? - In life, are you craving anything? Are you hungry for anything? - You know, can I, I can just be honest. - You can, really? - I think Popeyes is back in a big way. And I know you weren't talking about food. You weren't talking about food.
about food. I was or I wasn't, but you're right and I know that it's back. Popeyes had a second where they fell off her minute. Popeyes is back. The spicy chicken sandwich is so delicious and I was going to beg you to take me there later. That's separate from, what am I craving in life? I'm not taking you to Popeyes in New York City, by the way. So why not? I'm not doing that. This reminds me of when you stayed at my house last and you ordered Cenobon to the house. That really upset me, Brittany. I'm not taking you to Popeyes. Are you like actually fucking for real? I'm not doing it. You lived here would be one thing, but like you're visiting, I'm not taking you to Popeyes. You should understand more than most the appeal and charm of a chain restaurant. I do. And did I order that Cenobon to his house and was it cold and dry and bad and was it $35? Yes, it was. Yes, it was. And you will not let me forget it. Well, I do it again. Yes. Cenobon's really fucking good. I've ordered a triple-dipper to my house before. See, you're getting it. I feel like a chain restaurant. Say it. You know what to expect every time you go in there. There's a comfort. It's like a warm hug from a friend you've seen in a long time. Yes. Shared with company that gets it. Yes. You get a chain restaurant. You're from the Midwest, right? Yes. I'm from suburban South. Yes. I love it and I will go to it every single time. I'm a bit iffy. I'm a bit iffy on these New York LA places. What the fuck is that? Yeah. Okay. And if you have less than a 4.5 on DoorDash, I'm not ordering. Thank you for saying that. Let's tell you there was one of the roughest periods of my life was a couple years ago when I started getting invited to like nice restaurants. And I had to in front of people, I respect, yes. I had to in front of people, I respect, learn about different types of food. I very vividly remember sitting in a restaurant in LA with producers that I was trying to make something with. And they're like, do you want the crudo? And I was like, what's up? The uh-uh. The crudo? The crudo? Yeah. Which is raw fish. Which is raw fish? Yeah. Oh, um, I'm not, I'm not eating crudo right now, and I'm not kidding you, they went, what? And I mean, oh, I'm just not having crudo right now. I'm kind of off. No, I'm off that stuff. I'm off crudo. Yeah. Not knowing what it was at all. No, I don't, I don't mess around with that shit. No, and I love crudo, by the way. No, totally. And I just didn't know. Yeah. Because I was a fool. I have a harrowing memory from when I was a child. Tell me no. I went to a restaurant with my whole family. It was like a nice restaurant. And. Papados? Chili's. And we're sitting there. And everyone's around. It's like sirloins and all this, which I don't know, jack shit. I'm 11, right? I don't know what a tender cut of meat is compared to like a flaming on teabone. I don't fucking know. So I go, I'm going to order off this menu. I go, I'll have the alicarte, please. By the way, the alicarte menu, a list of which I came to find out in my adulthood, individual items you can order. I said, I'll have all of it. Yeah, just the alicarte. Thank you. Yeah. It's hard. I think he peed on himself. And I was like, that's obviously, I'm never forgetting this. Yeah. Right. Obviously, that's impacted me in a huge way. Clearly, this is foundational. It's very transformative for me. Do you know, I had a similar thing once where I, all of my, like, my aunt and my uncle were in college at the time and my dad worked at a college. And so they were all at Thanksgiving talking about fonts. Okay. They were like, like fonts for paper, like writing papers and stuff really interesting. They're like, I write mine in, uh, Calibri because it makes the pages go quicker. And so it was, oh, I do times new Roman because it's like more accepted in like this field of work or whatever. They were talking about fonts and the only font I knew from computer class that I remembered was Comic Sans. And so I was kind of listening. I was waiting for my moment. And then a moment of silence came up and I went, I like Comic Sans. I'm sure you do. Like, I was like, I like Comic Sans. Like serious. Like, I was like, that's my font of choice, you know, and they all laugh so hard. And I'm dead. I went, what's, why are you laughing? But these like, imagining them is these like stuffy British professor aunts and uncles. Like, you know, like scumbags have no, they were just like pointing and laughing. That's the only font you know. And I was like, I was like, why are you laughing and they're like, they're like, they felt bad immediately. They're like, no, that's a really good choice. We just haven't used it in a while. Yeah. And I was like, okay, it's what sex papyrus like, they laugh like that. God, I wish I had a word laugh like that. I think. Like, one that's like kind of buried. Ooh, yeah. Get older and richer and you might develop an obnoxious laugh. I hope to do both. Yeah. Trust me, you do have an obnoxious laugh now. I'm just saying it could get worse. No, I know. People hate my laugh. I don't hate your laugh. I'm fucking useless. No. I hope you feel good that you got that joke off. Yeah. I guess I'm stupid and fat and worthless. Yeah. I guess I'm fat and fucking ugly and stupid and gay. Yeah. And a bald. So, oh, that's awesome. I was hanging out with my friend and I learned. I'm stupid fat ugly gay. Worthless. Broke. Not funny. Oh, and nobody will ever love me. Oh. Okay. Siri, please save Smith. That's awesome sauce. Yeah. That's great. That's great. Good play. Say it. Bye. You're sad. Should, oh. Siri's doing it. Should we do a song? Yes. Show. Yes. Where we only cover Old Sam Smith. Yeah, probably. Oh, where she's actually playing Sam Smith. I'm not the only one. Baby, don't play Sam Smith. And I'm not the only one. Yeah, you say. I would like to do a cover show with you just in general. I think we should. What's going on with music? We're going on with music. Um, writing the album. Yeah. Um, some, some red tape is happening behind the scenes. Yeah. That is preventing me from doing my damn thing. Yeah. And it's also this weird transition of going from this traditional, like how I was instructed. Music. How I was told music is made versus how I actually want to make it, you know, like being in a room with five different writers and two producers and it's mastered by someone else who's never heard the song before and all. It's just like, whoa, we're taking a completely different approach now where I wrote it all. I wrote every single lyric that's on the album. I have one or two other writers on the song with me who only helps with the melody and then one producer for the whole thing. And it is so much better. And it's epic and it's dramatic and it's cinematic and it's whimsical and it's all of the things that I wish the first couple releases were, but you have to start somewhere with a creative endeavor, you know, so that you can continue to improve and build on it. I think it's raw, narcissistic confidence. If a creative release is something and they say, that's my best work ever and then you never try to improve upon it. So that's, that's where the music is at. I love that for your next album. I'd like to get me you. A couple of yes, Sam Smith and then a couple of indie rockers in a studio in North Carolina. Sure. And I'd like us to fuck around. I mean, Adele is a thing where it's like every two years we need. And of course, you know, you do think I go, I want artists to be happy, I want them to live their lives to an extent. Sure. To an extent. But out the work as long as you're living in the studio, live in the studio one month every two years. Yeah. Just put that record out. Top divas for you. Would you say Adele is one of the top divas for you? Adele is one of my top divas, Lauren Hill is one of my top divas. Naturally, yeah. Lauren Hill is an all-time diva for me because she put out one absolutely unpeachable, impeccable piece of work and then said, I'm kind of chill on all this. Yeah, that's, she actually is the one exception. Yeah. Yeah. She's the one. I don't, I would never ask her to get back in the studio. She did what she did. She did what she needed to do. And then she gave us the MTV Unplugged recording and I'm of course quite grateful for that. And Lauren Hill is just in a rarified air where I say, if you give us miseducation and then you decide you're done, I hear you. I'll accept that. Other artists, pretty much every other artist, I'm going to be asking for more. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I'm hungry. I feel a similar way about Beyonce. She has given us a lifetime, multiple lifetimes worth of life-changing art. I have not heard her stuff. You can say, I'll put you under her. I would, could you imagine if I've never heard a Beyonce song? Who is that? I go, you said Beyonce. Who is that? Mm-hmm. I'll look into it. Beyonce. Beyonce, I am so sorry that an ugly ass bitch would even say some shit like that. I know. Beyonce. You look like Luthor Vandross. Beyonce. Beyonce. Beyonce. Bitch, you look like Luthor Vandross, one of the all-time reads of my lifetime. New York, you will always be famous. New York. You will always be famous. The video of her smoking the cigarette in bed. Just laughing and smiling. Yes. She invented, and it is funny, like we're in a moment in culture now where people are fans of reality TV stars, which I find quite funny because ultimately the impetus of that every time is like, I love how you were such a bitch at dinner. It's like, okay. 100%. That's crazy to be a fan of. You're a cut. Yeah. And New York originated it. 100%. She's so fucking funny. I was doing an interview the other day and they were like, what's one of your favorite pop culture, whatever of all time, only thing in my head is, well, she passed away. Wendy Williams is another one. Wendy, she has given us a girl. I'm going to cry. Right? Hold my hand. Wendy Williams. Let's say a prayer. Wendy Williams. We love you. We are so grateful for you. We wish you well. And I call the bell sweet. Amen. Amen. Wendy Williams has done it, girl. Wendy Williams has delivered so many pop culture moments. I also think of when she sneezed and farted and burped at the same time. Of course. I think of when she goes, well, was that James James and it comes back and it's an audience member in like a zombie mask. Yeah. I'm laughing. Yeah. You know who's jealous of it, though? Beyonce. Beyonce. She's one of my like, wow, that was allowed on TV. Well, Wendy Williams is what we're missing a little bit in the culture right now. The same thing that Joan Rivers had. I was just about to say we need a bitchy commentator. Somebody who just fucking
You just says like, we'll see, I'm gonna say this and we'll see. - Yeah. - I like that. - I think the internet is too deeply misogynistic to ever let that happen again. - I think the internet is just misogynistic enough for it to happen again. - Who's gonna carry the torch? - Who's to say? - I like what you had to say about airport lounges. - Say it. - You said, we need to like, we need to make the criteria for letting people into the airport lounges a bit higher, a bit more restrictive, yeah. - The line outside of the Delta Sky Club. - Line. - What's start there? - Line. - Line because they're at full capacity. There's a line. - There's a line outside to get into the club. - So I am paying for through literal money and also my loyalty and points. - Yeah. - I am paying for access to a space. And there's a line. Does that sound like a nice experience to you? Hey. - Hi, Delta. - Hi. - It's me. - Hi, bitch. - I'm gonna try out a new personality. - Hi, bitch. - There's a line. - Huh? - That's my new guy. - Yeah, you like that. - Hi, bitch. - Huh? - Oh. - Oh. - I think my show would grow 10 fold if I started acting like that. - I think if you wanted to do a real role. - In a show where you and the chicken salad, hi, bitch. Throw it out. - Huh? - Do you ever dream about having a desk job? - I had one for a long time. No, fuck no. - Yeah, sure. - I'll tell you what I do miss. And this is gonna come off unlikeable in tone deaf. - Thank you for clarifying. - This is going to make me seem unlikeable in tone deaf. I miss waiting tables. Now, do I miss it enough to go and do it? - Right. - No, but I miss it. I miss when my body was, I felt, I liked when my body was tired at the end of the day of work. I miss meeting new people. I miss knowing that if I fucking nailed it with every table, I would get more money at the end of the day. I miss leaving my job with that money. And I miss the camaraderie of like every, I probably misguidedly still feel this. Every time I walk into a place, I feel connected to service workers because I did it. And that is not likeable. I do feel that and it's stupid of me because I'm so not anymore. But I miss when I did work in a restaurant, it was true. - I totally get that though, because you have the person. You know what? I said this on the puck, I said today. I am sexually attracted to whoever the fuck plays at the Grinch at Universal Studios. - Okay. - You know, the like probably early 40s, witty guy, probably bald, who sits in the makeup chair, gets dressed as the Grinch and just is mean to people. - Yeah. - There's a video that I love and we can get back to whatever the fuck you were saying. There's a video that I love of there's a line of people in line to meet the Grinch at Universal Studios. - A line. - And a line and he goes, - Grinch over here and he just goes, coughs on him. - Well. - That's funny to me, okay? He is so mean to these fucking people. I see shit like that and I'm like in another life, that was me. Another life, that's the job I would wanna have. - So that's the job you do have right now. That's pretty much what you do. (laughing) You go on your show and you like force like very notable people to come and like dress up in like medieval garb with you. You see like you are coughing on them in a way. (laughing) - Spiritual cough. - Spiritual cough. - Yeah. You actually do have a point. Bob, I'm living my dream. - I loved being on your show by the way. - Thank you. - You just like mean to me. - I do. I thought it was beautiful that I finally came to a point where you just kind of had to have me on even though it made no sense. You know like it's funny that the roster of your show is all like dream guests that are very accomplished and then there's like some guy you know. Like that is ultimately very funny. - No, but you know that's our most viewed episode ever. - I do, but I just think it's funny that like it came to a point where it was like we kind of have to, it's like I guess we'll have on Coleman Domingo, one of the most decorated talented actors of our time. And then. - Yeah, I guess my buddy Caleb, I think that's very funny. My cousin, Kazoo. - I'll have Kazoo on. - Yeah, hey Kaz. - Yeah. - Yeah, no, you were one of clearly the most requested ever and I was like, I'll look into this guy, really most familiar, we'll see. - If he gets his numbers up. - Well, let's see some engagement. - Let's get his followers up. Maybe he posts on Instagram more than once a month. Maybe he starts doing that. - Yeah, I think I just do anything of note. - Anything at all. (laughs) - That would be helpful. - Anything impressive. - I think that would be completely helpful. - Yes. - Do you know, Brittany, I'm single again. As you know. - Look out world. - You have been there with me every step of the way. - I have. - I was in a beautiful relationship that ended. And now I'm single again. What do you think I need to be focusing on right now? - I think you need to be focusing on being validated by men. I think you need to put all of your self worth into whether or not a man likes you. - I can do that. - I think you need to worry about how you look. - I can do that. - I think you need to worry about your intelligence and if you're good at your job. - I can do that. - Okay. Those few things, if you just really put that like on your plate, everything else off, okay? Movie, the interview, podcasts, I don't wanna see it. - Worry about what a man thinks about you. That's what you should, I can take into the new year. - My only value is what men think of me. My only concern is what men think of me. My every waking moment is consumed by what men think of me. - You think you can do that? - I worry about what men think of me. That's what you'd like to see. - Yeah. - I can do that. (laughing) - Hey, done. - I can do that. I was 18 once. (laughing) And I can go there again mentally. - And did and will. - And did and will and wouldn't have and should. - And you wanna know what another one of my so true's was? - Say it now. - Stop thinking about men. - Well, I won't. - Well, and do you think I will either know? - No. - But that's something where it's like, if someone says that a group is setting, it's like, so true, queen. - Yeah. - Right, like obviously I agree, but in practice, I'm thinking about men. - I'm thinking about men. - But not in a way, and I will all credit to the most high, Drew Afwalo. - Yes. - She really changed my whole mental perspective on my relationship to and with male validation. And I got to a point very genuinely after my last horrific situation shift. - Yeah. - Or I was like, - I'll kill that guy by the way. - No, and he deserves death. - Yeah. - He deserves. - I will never forget. You telling me some of the details of this and me sitting there mouth a gabe. - Yeah. - Like this is a person I have to harm. - Yeah. Am I Shrek? - Yeah. - What am I to you? - What am I to you other than all I can come to the conclusion of an ogre? Do you want to fuck me? Or do you want to live in my swamp? - Yeah. And turns out neither. - Neither. - Yeah. - What's going on? - And the thing is even if you want to live in my swamp, be a donkey at least. - Yes. - Help out around the house. - Yes. - I asked him one time, I was cleaning the house. He was watching Love Island, gay. - Gay. - You're gay. - First of all, gay guy. - Gay guy in my house, no thing. - Sorry. I am a woman, by the way. - Thank you. - I as a woman of cleaning the house and you a straight man are watching Love Island on the couch. Open up the iPad and fire up Grindr. - I'm telling you right now. - You're gay. - You're gay. - You're gay. - You're girly pop. - You're gay. - You're gay. - And so, by the way, this is summertime pride. Happy Pride. - Happy Pride. - It's June and you're gay. - Yeah, and he's sitting on my couch watching Love Island. And I go, "Hey babe, can you take out the trash?" Like, I'm actively vacuuming. I'm like, "Lift up your fucking legs." Like, "Can you take out the trash?" And he goes, "Yeah, give me like 20 minutes," so it's almost over. - Get your white ass up off of my leather couch and take the fucking trash out. - Go. - You succubus, stoner, idiot. - Homo, stand up. - Homo. - Homo. Get up and take the trash out, Homo. - Take the trash out, Homo. - There's trash in the house, Homo, and it needs to go to the bin. Get up, gay. Now. - Get up. - Now. - Before I throw a brick at you. (laughing) Get up, gay. - Get up, gay guy. - Take out trash, gay. - Yeah. Men, ooh. - That's the eternal question. What, as a man, what are you doing? - What are you doing, men? Myself, you get around me. Not including you. - Myself excluded, yeah. (laughing) - There's something going on with men. - Something, oh, you wanna know what Annabelle said the other day? - Tell me the other day last night about 12 hours ago. She go, actually I'll read it. 'Cause I wrote it down because I was high and it made me laugh and I was like, can't forget that. Read it back to myself this morning. - Not fun. - Not that interesting, yeah. - What's in the air today? Dumb ass gas? Idiot gas? - Well, and someone's breathing deep. - Someone's got the respirator on it. - There's idiot gas in the air and some of y'all are breathing deep. - Yeah, no, no, no, you've just gotta hit it. You, you've just gotta hit it in a halo or something. - Okay. - Okay. - No, you've just gotta like, if I can fucking, I should just take-- - Brittany, Brittany Ground. Ground. Brittany Ground. - Yo, there's dumb ass gas in there. You've been just sucking it. - Brittany, touch something, touch something. Touch three things. (laughing) - I need to do this. I brought my knitting. You've only, we wielded it to like make a point. You've not knitting once. - Well, yeah, 'cause here's the thing I thought there was gonna be a podcast stand. I thought it was gonna be a mic stand. - No, we hold the mic. - The budget was cut. - The budget's been cut. Yeah, 'cause you won't come on that often. - Well, here I am. - If you'd come on where we'd make more money. - I'm supporting queer art. - You are. And you always have. - And when you came on my show, you were also supporting queer art. - I was, my own. - Yeah. - Yeah, I was promoting myself. - Promoting queer art. - Yeah, promoting myself as a queer artist. - Yes! - What do you think? Here's what I'm gonna ask you. - Let me know. - What do you think's going on with the culture right now? What is your view of 2026? How do you feel about 2025? What happened? What is going to need to happen for 2026? - 2025 was full of lies. It was full of vitriol. - Okay. - It was full of horrible friendships being torn apart.
- Yes. - Bitter endings. - Yes. - 2026 is about rebirth. - Yeah. - No, and all seriousness, 2025 was probably one of the best years of my life. - Same. - Yeah, it was like truly unimaginable personal growth and reconnecting with friends and rediscovering myself. And I think I'm the best version of myself I've ever been. I finally, like I said, got to a point where I truly could give a fuck about a man's opinion of me because if I like it, then that means it's probably cool. - Yeah. - And that means that there's a whole community of cool people that agree with me. So once you remove like men in their nasty ass and correct tasteless opinions, you're able to live freely. Sorry, guys, anyone in this room. 2026, I'm seeing more of that. I'm also seeing probably like fashion trends of the 2014, 2015 era coming back. Infinity scarves, probably galaxy print leggings. We're already seeing printed leggings. We're seeing a lot of high-waisted jeans, low-rise jeans as well, and like oversized sweaters. It's very, we're back on Tumblr. - Yes, I think for 2026, I see ordering for the table. I see board games, board games coming back in a major way. - Board games, are card games included in that? - Card games, board games, manual, physical games. - I completely agree. - Screenless nights with friends. - A card game with your friends. We gather and there's not a screen involved. - No, no phones in sight. - Cards, board games, walking, eating, talking. - Home made meals with your friends. - Home made meals. Screenless nights with friends. - With friends. - If you can hear me now, I would like you to have a screenless night with friends. That is coming out big in 2026. - 100 seconds. - Long walks. - How about this, long walks, crafts. - Crafts. - Yeah, I taught myself how to sew. - Crafts, sewing. - Sewing. - Things that have to do with the hands. - Screenless. - Handwork. - Screenless. - Hand jobs. - Or back. - In 2026. - Jerks someone off today. - Please, Jerks someone off today. And you don't have to use your mouth. That's so, it's past. - Jerks someone off now and only suck it a little if you want to. - Yeah, I also learned what a rusty trumpet is. - Tell me now. - So, rusty trumpet is actually when you're like eating the ass from, and it's like brown. - And then you're also jerking it off. It's like a rusty trumpet. - So, hand jobs are back. (laughing) - It's not screenless nights with friends. Long walks, ordering for the table, homemade meals. Enjoying your friends. - Jerking it off from the back. - With your friends. - With your friends. - Not on your phone. - Enjoying life. Joy de vivre. - Joy de vivre. - Joy de vivre. - Joy de vivre. - Ernest enjoyment of the things you like with no apologies. - Say that. - No apologies. - 2026, be a nerd. - Nerd time. - Nerd-ing. - Two of the hottest coolest people I know just asked me to do D&D with them. I was shocked and I'm going to. - Caleb, can I come? - Come. You'd love these people. - Who is it? Is it Heidi and Claude's it? - No. I will tell you who it is. - Off camera. - Okay, love it. - Because I don't want to out them in case they don't want people to know they're getting into D&D. I don't know what kind of community that is. - Okay. - I don't know much about D&D. - Okay, yeah. - I know they're serious. - Yes. - Yeah. - And, yes, that goes into screenless nights with friends. What else is going on? The mail-ug. There has been a cultural caution around the mail-ug. - Mind you, he's wearing mail-ugs. - And I have another pair of the short booties. - You're wearing the booties. - I'm getting into mail-ug short booties.

I asked people this question a lot Like dinner and stuff and the number one thing I've noticed I've been asking it for years of many different types of people The number one thing people seem to want is freedom Just the freedom to do what they would like to do How and people have different varying levels of structure varying levels of engagement with others Some people have work included in their perfect day They like in it and there are times when I answer it that I do that I'm like, you know, I actually would like to It seems like I need to work a little bit, but freedom is the number one thing that they go if I don't want to do something I was supposed to do I don't have to They want freedom. There's no there's no rigid consequence to it as well. I think that's beautiful You know question. I started asking some of the guests on royal court is what type of old Mandy think you'll be Oh person, you know for the longest time I could never picture myself old I could never like when I was growing up and stuff. I never pictured myself old. Mm-hmm Like in like in a way where I was like, I don't think I'm gonna live to be old I don't know why there was nothing wrong. That's supposed to mean. I have no fucking clue It was obviously very weird and sad, but I know a lot of people relate to it and a lot of queer people I've heard this from so I'm sure there's something about that. Yeah, something deep there that I don't really Won't get into it. I'm not interested in checking that out. Yeah I would say in the last five years I finally started to see myself as an old person. Yeah, and I like him. Oh I like him. Yeah, I think I'm gonna be a silly old person. Yeah, you're gonna be the guy in the shop that like makes everyone laugh Yeah, I'm gonna do like little faces for the kids and shit I'm gonna be like the house that goes crazy on Halloween and ever all the kids when I come for the candy Totally. I'm gonna be hopefully a by the time I'm old I hope I'm the parent of adult children. I hope I have like adult kids by then And I'm gonna be a really good grandparent and I'm gonna be wearing really cute fits. Yeah, I'm gonna be like a not like two stylish I don't like when an old man is two stylish like I don't like seeing an old man in like couture Sure, it's not fun for me.

Yeah gay, but not noticeably. Thank you, but like if you thought about it, you would know yeah Yeah, I love that for you. Yeah, I do love that. I want to be something a bit similar But I want to be a bit more I never want kids So I think the freedom that that allows is Wow, my whole life I just get to really do me, but you'll never know true of Says who me? You need to grow up. Yeah, you need to get that out of the fucking head. Yeah Yeah, I'm just kidding. I do think that's funny though when people say that when people wear kids They're like yeah, you're free, but at what cost? That's like they're that's like their POV for real That's it's really funny harrowing because I get a lot of tiktoks of like I love my daughter, but if I could do this all again, I would not have a kid Imagine your mother getting on tiktok and saying that but she probably has you're getting Mine. Yeah, you're oh pretty. That's horrible. It's a joke Caleb. We're doing Oh my goodness Britney, that's horrible. Okay, Britney I just love you so much. You know, I don't want this to end. Is that crazy? Well, how about you and me Go get some lunch. I know that you're hungry. I'm hungry. We ordered lunch here before you came And you got you received the order form, but you didn't order anything. When was that said? Oh, yesterday a full day in advance Yeah, and you know, it's funny Virginia actually texted me and said hey, Britney doesn't respond to this email when I email her You might want to texture the launch order and I forgot to do it So actually there was actually a system in place to make sure that you were taking care of And I forgot to do the double step.

We'll do this again Yeah, we did you and I did concept a while a while back A show called porch sit in Morton where we sit on a porch and just and just fucking gab Yeah, and I don't think that either of us is in a place to do it anytime soon No, that's when we're like 40s exactly. Yeah, there's a future where we do this and it will be happening and first guest True true, it would be true. I do love true. Trixie Trixie and no one else really Chris one episode with Drew one episode with Trixie one episode with Chris we call it It's a limited series. Yeah, yeah, I do think that that is um Oh, here's something else I want to talk about not done yet. Okay Uh, have you Thought about or have we talked about this before of if all this went away tomorrow? What would you do? Uh, yeah, I've got several ideas. Yeah, let me know I don't have enough money put away yet to accomplish this, but I'm trying to put money away to the effect that I would Get a farm somewhere and learn how to farm and no, it's not easy. I know it'd be very hard I just legitimately I think that if I wasn't doing this I think I'd like to do a total 180 Real like hard work. I think that's what one thing I would do Or I would um When you say all of this went away like could I go write books or that's not a possible in any way though Like I get like full scale canceled or something. It would be like you don't have the platform that you do. Yeah um I would probably I have the house in Kansas City. I would probably just move back to Kansas City and I actually did um I did think about this recently that I was like I was having some anxiety about People were mad at me online for something. I don't even remember what to be 100% honest But it was something that people were being annoying to me about in my tagged stories. Uh-huh And I um I thought like me and what if I just quit all this and I don't want to because I love my life But that thought comes up sometime of course and I thought well is
As long as you had enough money to pay off the house, I would probably just like go volunteer with KC tenants as much as I could. I'd just volunteer with the tenant union 'cause I love all those people and I love that thing. So I'm like, if I had money to live enough, I'm assuming that I would have enough money coming in residually for at least a while, to just like go away and do that. And then I would have to figure something else out of eventually. - But you would. I think all roads would lay back to you having a creative pursuit in some regard. - I'll always be making. - Yeah, I need it to help it. - I need it to live. - Yeah. - I literally am supposed to be taking a break right now and I did two shows last night. - You literally cannot help it. - I like it. There's new stuff I want to talk about. I like it. - You know, I'm hoping for 2026 I can get to a place where I'm bored again. - Yeah. - Some of my best, like the most fun that I have, making things or creating things or coming up with ideas for whatever is when I'm bored to tears. And I haven't been bored for a long time. And I've gotten to this place where it's like, "I need to juice up and be just cracked out on an energy drink to be able to be like, ooh yeah!" You don't need to do all that. - Yeah. - You don't need to do it 'cause it's in here. - Yeah. - Oh. - I think also, what's up? - No, no, I'm listening. - I was gonna say that and my version is, I'd go back to school. - Yeah. - Yeah, I crave academicism. - Do you know what? That is another thing, if I could get in somewhere. And I actually might do this anyway. I've kind of dreamed of taking a year or two off and going and getting Master's Indivinity. And like studying religion. - You're kidding. - Yeah, I don't wanna like be a preacher or anything. But I would like to go and spend a year like at a really good, what are they called, the-- - Theology? - Yeah, but they're a really good, the-- - Must be in? - But a really good Indiv program and going and learning about just like faith and religion and like talking with other people like that. - Very tea. 'Cause I feel like that's one of the only honest places you could actually have an academic discourse about true genuine questions about it and also to have a curriculum to study the texts in and have a discussion-based classroom. I think that's really, I love. - And for most people that I know that have an Indiv, their class was very diverse. That it was like people that were there, that were Muslim and people that were Jewish and people that were atheist and people that were Christian. - Yeah, love. - Like it seems like a space where you can very academically talk with a very diverse group of people on purpose in a continued way, and I think that would be really nice. - Yeah, man, imagine. - Yeah. - Imagine that. Oh, you don't want to do it in TikTok comment sections? - No, not anymore. - No, that's random. - Not anymore, I had fun with that for a while. - Yeah. - On Twitter? - I did see a girl on TikTok recently that her thing is like, her thing is like walking around just like saying moral dilemmas that have already been established. Like she's like, she's like, so, there's a train on a track. (laughing) And if you do nothing, it kills one person, if you change it, it kills five or whatever. - And people just talk in the comments? - And then people are in the comments being like, I think I would pull the lever and it's like, they're lit, and her whole thing is just repeating these. She's like, so, a man in a white coat tells you to push a button. You hear a scream in the other room. Would you push it? And people are in the comments being like, I wouldn't push it. And I'm like, what the fuck is going on? What the fuck is going on? - I've never heard of World War II, sweetie. - Stop it. - Yeah, how about this? That? - And I forgot what I was gonna say. Hold on, just say it again. If there was a man in a white coat, and you pushed a button. - Oh, here's what I was gonna say. Thank you. One must imagine Cicifist creating TikTok philosophy videos. - Yeah, have to. - Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. - One must imagine that. - One must imagine. I think it's so funny when you can clearly tell, just from being on the internet for that long, this is recycled content. And it's like anyone can do a TikTok caption and do, and point to it with like a trending audio, and then it gets seven million likes, and it's like totally. But I don't feel, I have this strange relationship to that type of content now, where I'm like, this will always happen. - Yeah. - And where are you gonna be in a year? You know, like this, I wanna comment like a young padawan. - Yeah. - This is bottomless. - Yeah. - This isn't good for me as well. - You could do this forever. - Yeah, it's why I'm kind of getting interested in, why I've always been interested in live performance, but I'm kind of getting, I'm starting to spend my brain on theater a little bit, and being like, is there a theater piece I'd like to do? Because I increasingly as everything becomes AI, and as all these companies become one super company called, like watch it, or whatever the fuck. - Watch it now, plus. - Whatever the fuck they're doing. Watch it, watch it, plus, plus, plus, deliverable. They're all becoming like one company. I don't know, I'm scared. - It's very scary. And everything's AI, you can't really trust anything anymore. I'm like, the thing that we can trust is being in rooms with strangers. - Totally. - That we can trust that that is real, and there's only really one really negative outcome of that, and we're obviously not doing anything about that. - Yeah. - You know, shootings. But-- - Oh, COVID. - COVID, yeah, well we did something about that. We started ignoring it. And Brittany, I love you so much. - I love you, girl. - I wanna turn these cameras off. I wanna go get stoned with you, and I wanna find lunch. - You know what? I could be down. - Do you wanna tell people where they can find you? - You can find me, Brittany Broski. On the Broski report, it's a podcast I talked to myself. You guys might like it. You can find me on Royal Court. It's my celebrity interview show. It's Medieval themed.
