In this episode, Connor and Brooke catch up after Connor's whirlwind three-week European adventure, which he describes as a "vacation, broke." He starts with Cannes, where he attended panels for Doritos and recorded a podcast episode, but clarifies it's more of a marketing convention than a glamorous film festival. From there, he traveled to the Dolomites in Italy, staying at a stunning hotel where he encountered a bat in his room and slept on the bathroom floor due to heat and no functional AC. He then went to Milan for a Mac DeMarco concert, danced in Ibiza until 5 a.m., and ended in Copenhagen, which he loved for its biking culture, swimming, and relaxed vibe. Throughout, he emphasizes how recharged he feels after lowering his screen time to 1.5 hours daily. Brooke, meanwhile, shares her Florida trip and a bizarre MASH game where she predicted Vince Vaughn and Joe Burrow would be in her town—only to discover they were actually there. She also reveals the struggles of her new New York apartment: flooding, construction noise, and a dark, underground layout, prompting her to break her lease. The conversation also touches on Brooke's intense gym session that made her vomit, a movie theater shusher who angered her, and their shared love for cats and a future corgi. They end by teasing an upcoming joint trip and sharing housekeeping updates, including Lindsay being single and Brooke seeking professional help for her housing situation.

(audience cheering) - Okay. - All right. - You okay? All right. - I'm ready. - Ready. - On a personal level. (upbeat music) - Hey, little girl. Well, hang on, I don't want to start like that. - Just do it. - Okay, hey, little girl. - Hi. - How, how, how are you? - I feel like it has been a lifetime and a half since I've seen you last. - I don't know where to begin, and I don't know what to end. - I'm really confused because didn't we talk about can together? - No, just like texted. - We, I was asking you how it was on this podcast. - I don't believe you were. I don't believe you were. - Where are you? - I definitely was. Did you go from can to everywhere you were just all over the globe - Yeah. - Oh hell yeah. - So that doesn't make sense then. What was the episode before I recorded with Lindsay? - I think I was getting, we recorded twice that week. Remember, and then we released it. - We recorded before we went. - Yeah. - Some very confused, but it's amazing to see you. - Likewise, it is amazing to see you. - Yeah, I hit it, how, how, how have things been? (laughing) - What a fabulous question. - Thanks a lot. - Load me up. - Things have been pretty great. I have had a pretty uneventful few weeks, I would say, which I imagine is the opposite of you. Mr. Europe, so I'd really love to hear a little bit about what you've gone through. Because every time I saw you blast out on social media, you seem to be in a different country. Broke and keep track of your ass, your gorgeous ass. - My ass was like, so I like legit, just went on a post-grad trip. Like, someone from high school text me was like, this is, you're doing the thing that you do when you graduate high school, by the way. Like I was genuinely like, I took like a gap year just now. - You were on a gap year. - It was, broke, I felt like-- - How long was it? - Broke, I felt like Dua Lipa. - You were Dua Lipa. - I was just, I feel chipper. I'm like, seriously, like I feel recharged for the first, like I'm coming back and I'm just like, wow. - Are you like I hate being back or you're happy to be back? - Two things, it's like, one, you feel like, I feel like everyone gets, like, nothing matters. You come back here and it's like, oh, like, everything's so big and beautiful. And-- - The world? - Yeah. - Yeah. - I feel, yeah, I feel good. It was amazing, it was the coolest trip ever. I like have never, I definitely since doing this, but like, rarely in my life ever have I just like gone on like a trip with like no alter, like alter your motive. You know, usually it's like-- - Was it like a vacation Connor? - It was like a vacation, broke. That's exactly what I was trying to get to. - Yeah, it sounds-- - But it's crazy how there is a word for things that I try to describe. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah, it was like a vacation, broke, yeah. I got my screen time down to an hour and a half, yeah. - I could never. - It was, broke, it was amazing. - Yeah, how can I ask how long you were gone? - I left on the 20th and I got back the 6th. So like two, over at little under the weeks. - 20th, 10 plus six, 16. But there's a little extra from like 31. - Oh, so 17, almost three weeks. - Yeah. - Just about going on. - How many days does June have, doesn't matter. - Five of those was Can and that was work. Even though it was fun, but it was-- - What is Can like, 'cause I don't have a-- Is it all influencers, I don't get it. Like I thought this whole time everyone was going to the Film Festival. The Film Festival is right before and then they let like, they let all the kids in. - Uh-huh. - You know what, I think this was the biggest year that they've had like a lot of like creators come and it's like a marketing convention. It's seriously like could take place in Vegas. - Okay. - But it's like where you do, if anyone doesn't know, I kind of learned what it was after. 'Cause you're meeting with a lot of people, but a lot of people like if you live in LA and you don't make it out to New York, like you will see these people that you've been trying to meet in Can 'cause everybody goes, that's in like the marketing or like talent space, they all go there and it's essentially just like chatting and going to like talks about the creator economy and how brands can be involved in it. It was like, it was all creators. - It was 98 degrees. - Um, yeah. - And you're like outside and it's also weird like being right next to the ocean, but you have no time to-- - You can't go in it. - Oh, you didn't have any time to dip? - At like 6 p.m. everyday, I would like run down and jump in and then I had to run home and change and go back to stuff, but it was like, they're just like edging us, you know? Like we're just like looking at the ocean but we have shoes and socks on. - I saw you, you let a few panels. - I had two panels. - What were they? - I got to talk to our friends at PepsiCo about the Doritos deal that you and I did and it was amazing. - And everyone was-- - What was there to say? - Well, there was a lot to say because when, well, I also talked about Dylan and I, doing a Super Bowl commercial with Doritos. And about how they, they like spent their Super Bowl budget like on me and Dylan and they were like, do a Super Bowl commercial and they didn't like, they were just like, we trust you, do it. And I was like, oh, it's a lot of pressure. But it worked and we like, you know, you just like, I was like so excited about that that we like worked on. And it was like, it is fascinating for people that like, don't do what we do every single day. They're like, oh, I didn't think about like, trusting, you know, because sometimes we get a brand deal and it's like, you really want me to read this verbatim and art like, say XYZ, it's like not gonna, people are gonna like, hate this, shit, this bullshit. And so we're just like telling them that. It was like, eye opening for them. But I was like, oh, I didn't realize that this is like, groundbreaking info. Anyways, that was it. I got super nickname, we recorded a little episode in Cannes with Brittany A. Brodsky. Who by the way, I was scrolling yesterday. And there's like a huge dune, like for the new dune movie, there's like a huge, like moderated event. And I'm scrolling and it's like Christopher Nolan and blah, blah, blah. And it's a day moderated by Brittany Brodsky. - So Brittany is, is that girl? - It was amazing. And Mickey came on for a little bit too. We did this second episode, Mickey. - I don't think I know Mickey. - You need to meet her, she's a lovely woman. - She seems very lovely. - It was amazing, so Henry obviously. But then left hand, and I don't, do I do this whole, do you want me to walk you through the whole thing? - I do, 'cause I really don't even know where you were. - Well, I took like that. - And who were you with? - Well, get this. - Trying to. - I took like that week, that following week, I just blocked it. And I was like, if no one else is doing anything, I'm just gonna figure out like a train and I'll take the train around like France for a week. - Yeah. - Great. And then like talking with people there, they were like, oh, I'm doing this, I'm doing this, I'm doing this. So like for two days, we went down to this antique, which is like, since south or north of Canne. And it was like actual beaches and like restaurants and things, and it was like open, and there was no like riff raff. And then I went with my friend Kai. Have you met Kai? - No. - He was going out to the Dolomites to the mountains to hike for two days. - What country is that in? - Italy. - Okay. - So took, I can't remember if we took a car or what? Got on his itinerary. Went to Italy to the mountains, to the nicest book, the nicest hotel I've ever been in in my life. Unbelievable. Walked into the room. Brook, I can't even like this. - I picked from the club that overlooking the mountains. There's zero way for me to put into words how nicest hotel was. Like they all know your name when you, it was like white lotus. Like they know you're coming, you're all your like preference. Like the dinner is like at a certain time. It's like a cruise, kind of like where dinner's like, like I'll come out and they like, - Uh-huh. - No, when you're coming. So, and it's like, it was, had the nicest like, infinity pool in the Dolomites. Like, brook, the hills were fucking alive. It was amazing. Did you like spend a small fortune? - I haven't gotten my bill yet. - That's not in your business. - Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Now. - I worry. - I worry, I think. I think about it often. - I do worry. - I do worry as well. So, but I did live it up. So like, what ever it ends up being, it's a vacation. - You can't put a price on a vacation. - You can't put a, but there are some things money can. - One would have a higher one than a different one. If you could put a price on it, which you can't. - You can, you can, and you will. They will put a price on it. It will be, it will be weighing heavily on my chest. - Let us know the exact number when you get it. - I might. (laughing) I might. - It's good to be transparent about those things. - My nose starts bleeding. (laughing) No, so, so I go into this room. I'm like, and this woman is German, 'cause we're in like a German area of the dolomites. and the Italian-- - We've even heard of the Dolomites. - Stop me if I'm going too fast. - No, no, no, no, you're going the exact right speed, honey. - Okay, so I walk in this room and this German woman is like, well, you, I don't know the German, I'm gonna try. But it's like very, they're very like, you're okay. Like, you're okay, like, you don't, and I was like, um, it's very hot in here, no? 'Cause it was very much hot like a sauna, like 80, I'm talking to 82. And she goes, well, it's a, it's a green hotel. The AC turns on at 6.30 p.m. until then there's no AC, but you can open the door. I said, it is 94 out though. - Why? - So what exactly would that do? And she was just kind of like, well, you're welcome to open the door. And I was like, okay, well, thank you for that invite. And so I was just like, okay, I won't spend any time in the room anyways. And about 6.30 comes around and I go to the Dermostat and it only goes, I don't know, Celsius still, but it only went down to two. It went, it was set at something and it only went down two. And I, I did the, the translation, Celsius to Fahrenheit. And it went down to, it went down to 80. That was what they were giving me. And so I walked downstairs and I said, I think my air conditioning is broken. It only goes down two and I go, that is what it goes down to. And, but they said, you are welcome to open your doors. I go, okay, this is one of those things where you make it work because there is no option. So I was going to have to understand because I had to. - Yeah. (laughing) - And so I go, I'll open the door, Brooke. I open the door. A bat flies in my room. - Aww. - A bat. - Some are very cute. - I couldn't see it was moving so fast. Wall to wall. Bat, bat, bat. And that kind of thing, like, what I'm saying, bat right now, I'm not terrified of bats, bat in my room. - Not your preference. - I didn't love bat in my room, 82 degree room. - Yeah. - I didn't love the bat in my room. And so I'm kind of, what, I'm kind of like, shoe, shoe, shoeing it out. But then I ended up sleeping on the ground on the tile in my bathroom. - Ooh, that sounds nice. - I couldn't know, it was cold on my back. I was laying on the floor because it was the only option and I slept with a towel at my expensive hotel that will probably, I'll probably be, I'll probably be thinking about that for a while. Like, whatever the cost ends up being and how I slept on the ground in the bathroom 'cause there was a bat in my 82 degree room. - Yeah. - That will be another. - Did you get a rabie shot? You slept with the bat? - No, I went and shut the door to the bathroom and I slept in the bathroom 'cause I couldn't, I didn't see if it went down or not. - The bat took the primary. - Yes. - Okay. - Anyways, I know I should get a rabie shot anyway 'cause I'm always doing stuff like that. - It just sucks with rabies 'cause like, once you start the symptoms, like you will die. - Someone just got rabies and died. - Yeah, that's what happens. - Yeah, okay, so we, the next morning, I soft-launch, hey, I need to leave here immediately to Kai who I was with and he was like, I've already, 'cause we're gonna stay at a different hotel like down the way with different hikes and stuff. For two more days, I said, I actually need to leave pretty expeditiously. - Yeah. - And he was on board, so we leave and we go to this little German town down the way, but which was closer 'cause we were going to Milan. And there's nothing really eventful that happened in this little German town. Besides the AC did go out there too, so I slept in the hallway there. - Oh, I saw that, that looked very cozy. - Brooke, I wanna circle back, I actually put it in my notes. I wanna circle back to that after this. - Okay. - 'Cause I have to get this all out. - You know, I slept in the hallway for over a year, or maybe two years as a kid. - I wanna hear about that. - And I'll sleep in the bag. - Okay, can we put a pen in that specific conversation? - Yeah, happy to. - So, happy to. - Okay, so the next day we get word that Mac tomorrow is playing, I don't know if you know Mac. - I've heard the name, I've heard the name. - He's a lovely man. I think Megan is probably a fan of Mac tomorrow. - Okay. - If that kind of like, yeah, if that kind of like paints a picture. - And I'm a huge Mac to Marco fan. It was like, since I had the ability to download a song, like not Napster, but like iTunes, I guess. I've been listening to Mac, and we finagled tickets to the Mac to Marco show, like in the front, in Milan. And I like Milan a lot. Had the best meal of my life. And then went to Mac to Margarine. I was like, this is amazing. And then we woke up the next day and went to Ibiza. And I randomly had like six different groups of friends that were in Ibiza. And there are good ways and there are bad ways to do Ibiza. - Yeah. - We started with the bad way. - Okay. - And because. - What's the bad way? - How you say? - There's an area that is like very much Jersey Shore the show. Except it's like British people. - Got it. - And like not British in general, like the certain type of British person. - Would love Island. - No, like Jersey Shore UK. Gem, tan, laundry. - Ibiza's in Spain though, right? - Yes, it's very easy to get to from the UK. - Okay, I obviously have no concept. - I'm saying that's a good thing. - That's what I'm saying. - I'm just, I heard someone say that, I've just been repeating it. - Fine to do. - So hung out in Ibiza for a couple of days. I'm trying to think if there was something else in this little portion that I wanted to tell you. - No, there's nothing. It was just like an amazing trip. I danced my ass off. I'm like loving dancing lately. Maybe it's 'cause my screen time is lower now that like now I'm remembering like, you are allowed to move when you're out and Brooke, I did three days in a row where I went to a club. Granted, two days, two of the days I had to excuse myself and just say I can't do this, but the third day, I stayed out till five in the morning at a club dancing. - Wow. - It was amazing, it was like change my life. I'm serious. - That's awesome. - Yeah, there's much hate in this world, but not in that room. Not when I'm chasing my ass. I love that you were spreading love in our room. - We went and saw Dom Dollar who will probably never cross your desk, but I would love to, at some point, sit down with him and maybe show you his catalog. - Okay. - I think he was the, someone from his team like invited us to come up to his green room and we were hanging out with him before the show. He's coming to New York. They've invited us to come to the, he was just the sweetest, coolest guy and then we had an amazing show. I'm running into people in the club and a visit for in the morning that I know from like Venice. It was so weird. - Well, we're old, isn't it? - It gets smaller as we age. - Yeah. - So at this point, my friend Tyler has come, our friend Tyler has come and joined us in our Airbnb and we're all in there. And I like could not go home at this point. I was like, I can't believe that this is coming, this is wrapping up and time for me to go to my apartment which I need to talk about. - Yeah. - Like pretty bad. - Yeah, I'd love to hear. - As I tell you, this amazing story about a visit, my bathroom's flooding broke. - Yeah. - In real time. - In real time. - There's a puddle. - Yeah. - I had left the puddle there. - Yeah. - And it was growing. So Tyler is on his way to meet his friends in Copenhagen and I go, let me just like check the flights Copenhagen to New York because if that's easy, it was. It was an easy flight to Copenhagen. I went to Copenhagen for two days. I talk about Vancouver so much. Copenhagen, neck and neck. It was the coolest city brook. You would love Copenhagen. - No, that's the part of your trip that looked like I would want to go on. - It was so, so dreamy. Like right in the city, it's all biking and swiping. - I like the concept of biking. - We biked everywhere and it was so bikable and it was like, you're going over these rivers and you're back and forth and everyone's on pikes and we went and got great food and we had wine and we swam. It was just like, you're joking, you know? This has been here the whole time. - Wow. - Oh, okay.

Yeah, I'll send them, I'll send them your way. Please do, I'm so curious. I know. I was budgeting, I was budgeting elsewhere for this trip, so I think that it will, it will all, it will all come out in the red. It will all come out in the wash girl. It will all come out in the red, I agree. No, don't say that. Stop saying that. I'm scared. Lord God, I don't even want to know, because my flight home was. Come on, give us a number. It was more than I would have liked to spend, but I did have to like a. I had to get home. I hit the ground running here. I had to move into my apartment, so I did have to lay down flat. Yeah. From Copenhagen to JFK. Yeah, you had to lie down flat. I don't see another way. My tubes were tied. I had to lay down. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's it. I mean, that's like truly that is it for me. And if I'd never go on another trip, that's fine. I really, I did my big one, and I feel good about what I did out there, and I left it all on the field with my boys. That's great. Yep. Thank you for sharing. Blessed be the fruit. Blessed be the can. Thank you, the can. Do you think you'll go back to can? It was very much a lot, and I just want to recommend that you never go. Okay. No, I wasn't. I don't think that for a match. No, I mean, it was a lot. It seemed very business-y, which is just something that I've never personally been drawn to. It was very- Like, I've never networked. I don't think I've ever networked, which like, maybe that's a privilege, but it's just not like an ability that I have. Because networking to me is the same as small talk. It's just like, not going to happen champion. Appreciate you, though. I would go to like, if there was a bar and the theme was networking, like I go there every now and then. I know. You are Connor networking wood. Can I say something? What? That I know, I know people are going to be upset with me if I say this. Okay. I just want to say it. We have different jobs, obviously, but like, I was walking down South here, and I walked past a happier, and everyone had a suit and tie-on, and the girls had their corporate dresses on, and they were wearing lanyards, and I said, "I want that." And so I'm going to put my suit on one day, and I'm going to go to happier, and act like I work. I've never wanted suit and lanyard, but I have one at desk job. You know that. Yes, I know that, but like, there is such a beautiful, beautiful harmony, and happy hour with your co-workers, like let your fucking hair down and put your land, take your lanyard off, say a while. Yeah. No, I'll go to the same happy hour as you after my desk job. Brooke, I would love, and this is going to, it feels like we're larping, but like, I want to larp you. No, I really want, I do want to work in publishing in my other life. You would be good, you'd be very, I actually don't know if I would be good, but. Publishy. Still, I like the idea of you. I like the beat. I do, I am truly like, and maybe I'll vlog it. I'm going to put on my suit and tie, and I'm going to go to one of these happy hours. When it cools down, I can't imagine when it cools down. A three-piece right now. Yeah. Bless your heart. But um, I was in Florida, which is different than Europe, but not by much. No, Fort Lauderdale is very similar to Nice. Totally. I was in the, I was very far north on the Gulf, where the water is hot and clear in an amazing way. Yeah, I'm, I'm, I love that water. It's great. And like, no one front, did you know about seaside? Yeah. Like, like, yeah. Because no one, like, like, in the northeast, like, my parents had, like, never heard of it. No one, I had never heard of swimming on. Oh, right. Right. Like, it's not somewhere that northerners know. Like, it has been gatecaps completely. And it's just really the best place. Yeah. So, yeah, Patrick family. Yeah. Patrick knows, because he's from Texas too. Like, that is the, like, spring break with your family trip. I just really didn't know about it until a few years ago. It's just remarkable. It's where they filmed Truman. Exactly. Is that picture asked? It's a little unsettling, but it is like, completely like you have died. It is. It really is remarkable. It was fun. Something happened. I've always, you know, since I was a little girl, been kind of, uh, in tune with, I guess the manifestation space, you know, I've been manifesting since I was really a young girl. And we've seen that happen in live time. Um, I do think, I don't think I'm full witch, but there's something there that is not in everyone, I think, not to toot my own horn. I did something that, like, maybe was the most witchy of all this trip. Do I know anything about what you're going to say or not? No. Wow. I don't think, yeah, not at all. Cool. We were out to dinner. They gave us crayons and a white sheet as our tablecloth. So I'm playing mash. I'm mashing everybody at the table. Sure. So I mash our friend Alexa. And I gave her four options for a husband. Okay. And if, if you guys don't know what mash is, it's basically like you build your perfect life. You pick a few choices and then you narrow everything down at the end. So I gave her four options, two bad husband options, which I I won't say 'cause it's mean. And too good, which were Joe Burrow and Vince Vaughn. Both like kind of random, but like people I know, Alexa likes. - Sure. - I forgot who she ended up with, I wanna say Vince. I wanna say Vince, lucky girl. Then we go home, Patty, Patrick's mom, says, oh, Vince Vaughn and Joe Burrow are in seaside, which is where we were. And we were like, ha ha, good one. And she was like, what do you mean, good one? And we were like, 'cause in the mash, like very funny. And she was like, what is mash? And then we realized like, she wasn't sitting near us at all, at dinner. And then, what? - Did you scream? - We were like, wait, what are you talking about? She hands us her phone. She's in the 30A Facebook group where someone has reported that Joe and Vince as separate entities have been spotted in seaside. I, when I tell you, like it was really just like the most random thing, me putting them down on mash, like I had no clue that those two young men, like we're anywhere near us. And then for them to be in the vicinity was really, really jarring. Is that not so weird? - No, it's like hard to believe. - It's hard to believe. I was really like, it made me think like, I need to be really careful. I need to be really careful with what I write down. - Sure. - Yeah. So that really freaks me out. So I'm looking forward to hopefully like some more things that we've manifested coming true. Now that I feel that my abilities are maybe heightening with age. - I think that they're getting stronger. I would love if you did one or two for me. That would be-- - I have been, I have been. - I mean, you're manifesting two powerful powers. - What do you want? I'll give it to you. - Well, I'll text you. I'll send you a text. - Okay. - Maybe write it down on a white tablecloth. That seemed to be very a proven method. You're manifesting two very, very powerful men to marry one of your good friends. And I'm slept in the bathroom with a bat. Like, this is not the same level of-- - I mean, I just like, I have manifested a lot for myself, I guess, but I do wonder why that one piece is kind of not. Maybe it will come to fruition 'cause it has to. - Yeah, it'll understand. - Okay, ours, genuinely. - Speaking of magic, I'm gonna go into this really quick. There's a much larger piece at play here. I know I said a while, I'm gonna talk about my apartment. - Yeah, I wanna hear about it. - I know I said a while ago, do I get the place that's kind of a little more sterile, but it's 100% AC, doorman, it's a building, or do I get the place with character? And I said, I'm going character 'cause I always go character. - I don't think anyone would think for one second that you would choose the easy option. We knew you were going character. - Dude, on for scene circumstances and breaking my lease. - Are you actually? - I'm breaking the lease. - Are you really? - It's on, it's on level. It's flooding, like. - What is wrong, what is happening? - One month, I'm breaking the lease. I have to, there's constructing a school next door and they start at 7 a.m. everyday hammers on my wall. It's like, I have to walk away from it. I have to, I have to. I have to. - Just because of the construction? - No, there's, it's bad, it's just a bad place. I really, I gave it my all for one day. It's hard and I really feel like-- - What happens if we break a lease? - It's going to hit my, it's going to hit my credit score like the second building. It is going to be detrimental. But I have to put myself first big. - Going back into the ride too. - I have to put myself first. - You have to put yourself in the ride. I need to, I need to, it was just so hard coming back from Europe and then going to my whole, my hovel. I like, literally yesterday, walked past my old apartment and like, you know, there's dizzy movies. We're like, they're not grateful. So they turn invisible and like they see their family and you're like, I'm grateful, I'm grateful, I'm grateful, I was standing up to my apartment. I'm grateful. - Do you wish you stayed there? - I'm grateful. - What? - Yes, but also I had like a moment of clarity where I was like, you had to leave that behind. Like, you do need to move forward. I moved underground, which that was a mistake and that should have been, I'm not a mole. Like, I need to live above ground. Like, that's just, what was I thinking? You know? - Right. - A big like wake up call for me. It's like been raining for a couple days in New York and I guess it's probably where my toilet's flooding. It could be completely unrelated. Also, I have no idea. But it's been raining so it's been like dark and crappy out and I spent like the morning, and then I have to tell you about my morning. I spent the morning like walking around my apartment and I was like, oh, it's like so cozy in here that it's like, it's thunderstorming out in like, I'm in my little hole and like, this is actually nice. I walk outside, could not be a more glorious 80 degree morning. Sons out, not a cloud in the sky. I thought it was thunderstorming because of the leak. It was like leaking in my house. And it was like completely like a glint Powell of a day. Like, just sunny, perfect, smiling down on me. And I was like, oh, okay, I need to break my lease today. - That's funny. - So I'm gonna be making some calls when I leave. - It's always funny. - But I was a little late for that because of the puddle, but I also, I was feeling a little off this morning. I went to the gym and I'm not gonna say my trainer's name yet because I don't wanna like already put him in the mix even though I really, really have with him. - Yeah. - But he really, he really pushes me. And I said, I wanna be very clear with you. I have not gone to the gym in about three and a half for almost four weeks. And he goes, okay, we'll take it easy. (clears throat) I threw up. - Period. Period. - Yeah, I threw up. I had to excuse myself pretty much like after the warm-up that was all core. And I went behind this wall to throw up outside. I was just like, I'm so sorry. I must have eaten too close to coming to work out. I'm like really taught and I'm sweating so much. And I get outside and I was under control. Like I'm looking around, there's no one here. And I finger-mice, the pull-trig. And I'm like, okay, I feel better. And I'm like, and like, no one was hurt here. This is like a no, what is it? - No, it's harmed in the making of this. - Well, no, it's like a, it's like a, - No harm no foul. - No victimless crime, you know? - No way. - And I turned to my left, Brooke. Like cycling class, all facing, it was like a, it was like a, I was in front of a window. I was looking this way, there was a wall here, but there was a window full cycling class facing the water. And I was out like on the river pulling drag face, they are facing me, so I had to, I went. - If anyone understood, it's somebody in the middle of the bike class, yeah. - That, those, you would never know, like a lot of the, like they're all in really good shape, but like they don't, this is gonna, I'm probably shouldn't even finish this sentence. Like it's kind of an unassuming, incredible feat of athleticism that like, people that walk among us, like normal people are like doing those classes regularly. It's unbelievable to be able to finish one of those classes. I completely agree, I've done one in my life. And that was the closest I've been to the light. The only reason I made it through is because, like the 40-minute mark, castel on a hill, my Ed Sheeran came on. - Understand, was it a remex? - And brought me a little bit closer, back down to earth. - Was it a remex? - No, it was the regular. - Wow. - Yeah, I felt like I was questing the hill. You are like throwing out really good one-liners right now in terms of like descriptions, cresting the hill. - Yeah. - Oh, I'm back, I'm completely back in writing mode. - Yeah, I forgot. How was that going? - Good, I don't know. It's hard because I haven't gotten any feedback yet, so I'm kind of just like going and like, I think it's good, but for all I know, I could send it in and they could be like, start over, you know? - And that's okay. - Yeah. - You can do that. - Yeah, totally. - Oh, that's awesome. - We will see, but we are in motion. - Good. - Hi, guys, I want to take a quick break to thank my family who is also a sponsor of today's podcast, Sonic.

I would not want that. - No. - Yeah, I'm kind of just over here. I guess we have something coming up next week. - No, it's not next week. - Two weeks? - Yeah. - Oh yeah, it's not next week. - We're going on a trip together. I'll say that about that. - Brooke is so excited. - No, I actually truly, it will be so fun. I know that for a fact, once we are there, and I'm excited to be in this space with you, it's a big travel day for me, and then another one coming back, and I've just about hit my limit with that, but it's going to be okay because it has to be, and it will be, and I am genuinely excited now. I was just kind of panicking because I had just come off of a really big travel day, and that's understandable. But now I'm fine, I'll be okay for our thing, which will be extremely unique. - I'm excited, personally. - I'm excited for once we got there. - Yeah. - I saw the invite last night. - Who's in that? - Seth Rogan, Olivia Wilde, she directed as well, Penelope Cruz, Ed Norton, just four people. - It's not new. - It's completely new. - No, it's not. Those four people are together on a set in 2026. - Completely. - Wow, maybe we are so bad. - We are, it was fabulous. - Really? - I have to say, and I think like my past judgment of her was clouded by like the don't worry, darling drama and my own internalized misogyny, which I am working on tackling every single day. - Olivia Wilde is a talent. - Of course. - I never really noticed like the direction of a movie, 'cause I'm not a cinephile by any means, but it really was remarkable. And her acting was really, really incredible. - I know what I'm doing tonight. - I got a new fan in me. I don't think it was all four of their best performances. - Wow. - It was really good. And there was also something happening during the film that like as it was happening, I was like, I'm so excited to tell everybody this because it's the hardest I've laughed in a really long time, but it just doesn't translate, unfortunately, which I hate when that happens. It's just not funny like when I explain it. Basically, well actually at the beginning of the movie, lights are still on, trailers just started. Everyone's like going to their seats, filing into the theater. A guy turns to me, Sody and Frankie, and says, can you stop talking so I can watch the trailers? None of us respond. We all just look at the guy and his girlfriend is sitting next to him like so embarrassed or wife, like he was an older person. And like I can't stress enough, like everybody who's in the theater is talking very beginning of the trailer, lights on, people taking their seats. Like it wasn't a quiet time yet by any means. You something to say? About the guy telling you he should say. I thought you were going to tell you were going to say it was quiet time. No, no, I'm betting my nails, which I should stop. And that was pretty jarring. And so the movie starts and the young man next to me laughed in a way that was like the Joker's condition, you know, meets goofy, but like at parts that weren't funny. And so the entire theater began like laughing with him because his laugh became the highlight of the experience. And like I, the guy in front of me was just so miserable and it was like the best karma watching, but that was the best part of the experience was this guy laughing throughout the whole film. And everybody kind of just responding to his laugh. Cute, that's the human experience. But yeah, everyone was like having a great time, except for the guy in front of us. So I don't wish you were well. Well, there is times when you need a shusher. Like you do, like someone, it's always that the shusher steps up like if you're on a plane and someone's got no headphones on and they're watching them take talks or whatever. The trailers, don't be a martyr for the trailer. No, I'm all, like I don't, like I get upset when people are talking during movies or on their phone. But like trailers lights on people going to their seats, like do not tell me to be quiet. I didn't know that there was a type of person that is sat for the trailers like that. I'm going there and this is part of my movie ticket experience. I didn't know that that was a type of person. And I did know that I, myself, enjoy the trailers, but you don't ask people to be quiet during them. Yeah, it was pretty, and I don't take well to like that stuff in general. Like being shushed? Being shushed, yeah. Being told to calm down, stuff like that. Like that's my like, oh, we're not doing that. Thank you, though. And so that was, it just seeing him get what he deserved. Yeah, it was just it made me feel. Is that good? Is that close? Yeah, it made me feel really great. I'm excited that you had that experience give you. Thanks. But the movie was just so good. I want to see it. Like I didn't know it was like a theater thing. How is like nothing? How am I, I guess my screen time is so low now? Exactly, but also I'm not like I never know when a movie's coming out. 'Cause like I'm not seeing trailers. Where would I see them? The movies. Yeah. Also the trailer that he told us to be quiet during was the Odyssey. And Frankie kept going like this plays at the beginning of every movie if you haven't seen it by now. Like, but like she was so pissed. Talking back to the shishir. We were all kind of talking to him, but like not at him. Like I kept going whenever he started talking because he started, he kept talking. So he was just like, no, it was like I can't, it was just like he was really like evil. Like he was an evil person. Like I've been thinking about him for quite some time and I'll be thinking about him for the rest of my life. Like I can't really convey like he was like, I think that there can be a little bit of good most people, but I don't think him. I don't think that for him. - Can I send you an episode of "Always Sunny" would you watch it? - It's possible. - One episode? - Yeah. With someone shushed? - It's about a shusher. - I, I, uh. - The entire episode is them trying to find the shusher 'cause it does not sit well with their soul. - No, it didn't sit well with my soul. - Yeah, I'm gonna send it to you. And I pray you will watch it. I think you'll find, I think you'll like it. - I think you think I'll connect with it. - I think you'll find it good, yeah. - Oh, it made me so angry, Connor. And I don't like to be angry. (laughing) - No, oh hell, oh hell no. - Oh hell no. - Oh my gosh. - Anyway. - Well, you made it out alive out in the room. I'm going on a, - I hope he goes into the red. - Thank you, Will. If there's anything I know about the shushers, they, they don't bode well. I'm trying to think of a way that I can tell you, my college friends are coming this weekend. - Yeah. - I felt that 'cause I didn't offer anyone to stay at my apartment, but there's nowhere to stay and to flooding and it's underground. - I'm sure that they would be fine. - I feel like they're gonna walk and be like, "You live like this?" But I was with one of my, this is like a very, this is another situation where like, it was so funny in the moment. I'm gonna retell it. I don't know if you're gonna think-- - I hate when that happens. - So it was like dusk and I'm with one of my friends that I haven't seen since college, essentially. Like we talk a lot, we just haven't seen each other. And we're walking and we pass this older woman and she has a walker and she goes, "Hey," and I was like, "Hi, how are you?" And she goes, "I love seeing two gay guys walking around West Village," and I go, "Okay." And she goes, "Especially when they're foggly." And I was like, "Oh wow, look at her closer. Right, TIT is out." And then she goes, "She's at the bottom of the curb." And she goes, "Can you help me up the curb?" And I go, "We had to help her up the curb. TIT out." - Wait, who was the other guy? - My buddy from college that I haven't seen in like the longest time. It was just like that was our one interaction we had before we parted ways. Was with this oracle, one-titted oracle. - Wow. - That's stuck with me. And it's just so funny. - Yeah, that's it with you. - It's just so funny to see this woman. Essentially, she stuck at the bottom of a curb with her TIT out, the rowing around. She had like the most powerful, she had the energy of six drunk guys in Boston. In one small, old woman TIT out, walk her body. Bottom of the curb stuck. And she's like, "Fuck it." - And you helped her. - We did help her. What choice did we have? I didn't tell her to put her TIT back. And I feel like-- - No, no, no, that's not your problem. - Your price to pay for just running around with hating your heart, but like-- - Do you feel that she had hating her heart? - It was impossible to tell, but quickly. - Like the Shushar had hated his heart. Like that's something I knew. - Yeah, she did. And I do wonder, like, did she leave her house and go, "I'm gonna just go yell at people and be crazy." But like-- - She was, you know, like she was complimenting. Like she loved seeing a couple gay guys. - She said, "Fuck it." - She said, "Fuck it!" - "Fuck it!" - "Fuck it!" - "Fuck it!" - "Fuck it!" I did, I forgot about "Fuck it!" - That was what got me. I was like, "All right, totally." - But she loved to see it. - Yeah, I don't know, to each their own. But her boo-bing out was just like, "You can't even write this stuff." And then she stuck at the bottom of a curb, just like yelling at people. I was like, "This is so. " This is very, I think that there could be levels to that situation, like, almost like Greek mythology. Did you ever see Brother Where Are Thou Are Now? - No. - Hmm, you should. - What is it? - It's Brad Pitt. And I don't know any other people in the movie. - They javou. - But it's from. I think it's from the Odyssey. I think it's built on the Odyssey, but it's like a modern rendition of the Odyssey. - I think we've spoken about this. - We have to listen to the song briefly in the bonus. It's. - We have. - Oh, wow. This is all cyclical. - We've done this before, we've been here before. I'm pretty sure. - This is all cyclical. - It's amazing how we get to the same place, a lot of the time, but we take a vastly different route. - I like kind of like that. Who can I see who else is in it, really quick, sorry. - George Clooney. - George Clooney, not Brad Pitt. That's right. Oh, yeah, and John Goodman. I know him. I don't know any of the others. I do not know this man, sorry to this man. Oh, I met Kiki Palmer. I love her. How was she? - Exactly like what you'd want. - That's amazing. - Sweetest woman ever. I want, she's gone to the sun now in terms of being the most famous person on the planet. - She's always been on the sun. - I would love. I feel like she had like a renaissance. She popped into him and was like, did you all, I'm Kiki Palmer. But I feel like for a while, it was Disney and then I didn't really see her. And then now she's like Oprah. - You know bottoms up, right? Her song. - Yeah. - That used to be when I used to hike run-in, like that's the only song I could listen to when I was doing the incline. - I don't even want to think about the run-in incline, please. Makes me feel super sad. - I don't know what the run-in incline, but I am rejoining the equinox, but a different location with the pool because I'm gonna be doing laps now. - Keep me updated. - Yeah, I got goggles in a speedo and like already in my house. - Wow. - Yeah, next step, join the gym. - Lap it up. Swimming is probably the best exercise you could possibly do. - What part of my body will it affect? And how quickly? - Your shoulders and back. - I don't, like that's the thing I care about the least. It's only gonna do shoulders and back. - No, use your whole body. You core, it burns a lot of, like, I think it's like a very high burning exercise because you're using your cordy leg. - I want to lose 10 to 15 in the face. - I don't, 10 to 15 pounds in your face. - Can you be Google what part of your body does swimming, target, or tone, even? - It's your full body. - Muscle, shoulders and arms. - Shoulders and arms. - I'm good with arms. I just, like the shoulder piece. I don't really care, core, arms, and glutes. It takes care of everything. - Yeah. - That's my exercise goal is I want there to be a difference between my butt and my upper thigh. My bathing suits are all diapers. - Same. - I want to fill out a bathing suit. - Me too. - Don't start, you know you have a great butt. - Do you have a good butt? - Well, I want the shoulders in the back from the lap. - I will give you my shoulders and back in exchange. - That works for me. That works on my end. - I've been talking to my toes so much. It's like, I feel you in the studio. - I haven't been touching my toes. So I feel you over here. - Wow. - Did you know this is where they film ride? - No. - They film ride here, right? Benny and Mary Beth. - I didn't know that. So I like the power that I'm harnessing here. - I'll be there with you like next month, I think. - I know, when, what are the dates? - I don't know. Just like, I just, we'll talk about it. - Okay. - But I don't really know. I do know what I'll just tell you later. - Okay, are you stressed? - Yes. - Okay. How do you know? - I can sense. You kind of look like Ella Langley right now. - Really? - Yeah. - I've never gotten that before. - Yeah, maybe it's from where I am. - Is it my bangs? - Maybe. - They're growing out. - And your makeup, I think. - Really, I got new mascara. - Yeah, maybe it's that. - And I'm tan. - Yeah, and you're tan. - I don't think we look up Ella Langley. I don't know if I know exactly what she looks like. We watch her music video. - I know. - How was your 250th American birthday? - I was asleep by 730. I came home from Florida on the fourth. Because I wanted to be with my boys for my cats, for the fireworks. - Yeah. - In case they got spooked, but we all slept through 'em. - I didn't even know it was the fourth. - Oh, right. - I guess they don't celebrate the Fourth of July and other countries. - I learned it like 11 p.m. We finished dinner and we went to this bar to watch The Soccer. - And. - The Soccer. - Thank you, The Soccer. - And this person and the bartender and cup of hay and goes, "I'll be in the binnets day." - Aww. and I said, "Oh, wow, thank you." And I thought he was just talking about me in general, 'cause I went up to order the drinks for everyone. (laughs) And I was like, "Oh my God, it's the fourth of July." - Wow. - Wow. Broke Copenhagen, just, I'm gonna be spending some time there. - I know, I would love to go. - We went to-- - I haven't been to like the cozy parts of Europe. I've really only been to like, either like the urban parts or the beachy parts. - Amsterdam and Copenhagen, I think, are pretty similar. - Yeah, but I had this perfect department from Airbnb and it opened up on both sides. Like there was a terrace on both sides, like a small, like little patio where you smoke your little cigarettes and there was like a good size living room, good to end the breeze would blow straight through and I took a nap one day, brook, after we listened to this day, woke up, walked to coffee. The queen sent the marching band through town, which like, she does every Thursday or whatever. Marcher band goes by while we're having coffee. Walk back home, grab my bathing suit. Bike to this wine cafe that's on this dock. So you get your wine and you get your little sandwiches and then you swim and you jump up and you sit in the sun and you eat your sandwiches and you drink your wine. Bike tomm. - Were your sandwiches on a baguette? - Yeah. - What else was on the baguette? - It was like meats and cheeses and tomatoes 'cause tomatoes are in season right now, heirloom, bitch. And so we get back to the, I have like two hours till dinner. I lay down in the sun with the breeze going over me, listening to Tom Mish and Copenhagen. Breeze is going, but I felt like a cat. It was like, I under, in that moment right there when my eyes were closed and I was drifting in it out, I was like, I'm like, as far as I know, I am shooting as cat. It was glorious. Oh God, I could go back. - I was watching an extended scene of the office yesterday that I had not seen before. - Yeah. - And Andy was teaching everyone the concept of "Shurringer." But not necessarily the cat, it was the wall. Like, you don't know that the wall is behind you right now. - Is that just an object permanent? - It's an object permanence thing. - Yeah, I guess you're right. Like, you only know that the wall is behind you and you're looking at it. Like, right now when you're looking at me, like, you can't tell me that the wall is behind you but the 100% certainty. - That reminds me of the song and the sun's still shining when I close my eyes.

Summary:

In this episode, Connor and Brooke catch up after Connor's whirlwind three-week European adventure, which he describes as a "vacation, broke." He starts with Cannes, where he attended panels for Doritos and recorded a podcast episode, but clarifies it's more of a marketing convention than a glamorous film festival. From there, he traveled to the Dolomites in Italy, staying at a stunning hotel where he encountered a bat in his room and slept on the bathroom floor due to heat and no functional AC. He then went to Milan for a Mac DeMarco concert, danced in Ibiza until 5 a.m., and ended in Copenhagen, which he loved for its biking culture, swimming, and relaxed vibe. Throughout, he emphasizes how recharged he feels after lowering his screen time to 1.5 hours daily.

Brooke, meanwhile, shares her Florida trip and a bizarre MASH game where she predicted Vince Vaughn and Joe Burrow would be in her town—only to discover they were actually there. She also reveals the struggles of her new New York apartment: flooding, construction noise, and a dark, underground layout, prompting her to break her lease. The conversation also touches on Brooke's intense gym session that made her vomit, a movie theater shusher who angered her, and their shared love for cats and a future corgi. They end by teasing an upcoming joint trip and sharing housekeeping updates, including Lindsay being single and Brooke seeking professional help for her housing situation.
