but you i just like where does your hair where hair go it's gone i want you to get used to this
because this could happen it couldn't it could i don't you wouldn't let it the medical advances
have allowed us to avoid these sort of things but like i think that i would i am one that would let
it go
because i'm always trying to let people know that it's okay to just let it go and you will
look better in this way you don't think i don't know but also there's two different kinds of bald
men there's what you are doing right now or it's like the shiny like completely hairless like
bald and then there's kind of like a stubbly bald and like
not not no no not not everyone can achieve what you have not all men can achieve this
like shiny cue ball head you know is it shiny to you do you want to touch it no no no no not at all
but you don't want to touch it at all not okay well i don't have any desire but not all men is
genuine this is what a penis looks like i've like i've chills yeah yeah

hours okay yeah to achieve yeah it's not easy i have a i have a friend who's a dancer and he's a
dancer and i have a full head no you have a full head yeah i just i'm having trouble understanding
where that went it's under how i'm my undercarriage shana she's gonna does it all i know i yeah i know
i don't know how to like have an a normal episode you i promise you shit with it is he ended up
really coming around to my bald bald head really yeah when he first put it on it was it was hard to
look at it i said i'm having like that reaction i said it grows on you and i'm burping it's like
burping a lot i said that is fucking disgusting when i first said it and i was like i'm sorry
but like i just have not seen myself like that but we have to move on because you know
i'm just gonna start i'm gonna look straight ahead for a little okay
and i hope that doesn't upset you need to like i need you to know that like when i was voldemort
like understandable like reaction there but i think you might have like
adverse feelings towards bald people
not it's this kind of bald shiny bald shiny bald i've always it's never been my preference
like pop-up is bald but he has like you know that like half a halo of like
whatever's left i guess what is that called it's not half a hit it's like a reverse
it's like a reverse hairline it's like a reverse taper fade it's like
you know what i mean they have the hair on the side i don't know i'm fine i'm totally fine with
that but it's cue ball bald
bald has always sat with me in a way that i'm uncomfortable with they should call now you got
a mustache hair in here yeah in your throat a few they should uh they should i they should call that
hair type the arena because it does are the coliseum yeah it does exactly it's like that
horseshoe shape it's round where you could actually view a show there right if you wanted to see like
some sort of amphitheater the amphitheater try that next time maybe i will yeah that would make
you feel more comfortable if i did that yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
i would feel comfortable if i had a little bit of hair on my side just a little okay i have sympathy
pains in my throat sympathy pains yeah what is that from you like i feel like i have part of your
mustache in my throat okay hold on because one i need to pull up our notes because i have so much
from the past couple weeks that we've been we obviously had lizzy on last week so i we couldn't
throw her into the ringer with all this this stuff amazing she was so amazing it's going to be a
hard to like move on past that i like that but um pretty great girl oh what i was just saying
i was like you'll you'll you'll you'll have to move on because you have to yeah
i like voldemort like i'm like oh that's like you're in a costume you know yeah this is like
there's a real there's a realism here i can't stop waving like this
i get it you feel yourself embodying the character i'm becoming another person
oh stop i just know like that's exactly how you would act yeah i know yeah you're doing too well
i you're doing too well you should you should be flattered that i'm having this type of reaction
because you're you're nailing the part thanks sure well i was saying the why did we start saying
they'll understand because they have to this is about other others it's something he i think
were you missing a week or something
maybe or the podcast or like our behavior was poor or something that's what it was it was we
were acting we were yeah we were misbehaving yeah and it was reflecting poorly on our character our
work exactly exactly and we we said you know what this is just kind of like a write-off
and they'll understand because they have to and that was i've been applying they'll understand
because they have to in my life so much so that i've reverse engineered it and i've gotten all
the way to i'll understand because i have to i've been letting go of it i love it i love it
i love that yeah i would love to understand because i have to that's like it you know what
it's similar to is um you don't have to do it with a smile do it with a frown but you just have to do
it yeah it's like you sometimes some things you just have to that can live in the same box as
i'll understand because i have to yeah because it's just like out of my control and it's going
to happen whether i like it or not and then it goes all the way back to like 99 of the things
you worry about i don't even know what to do with it i don't even know what to do with it i don't
happen huh what are you having anxiety about today anxiety about today yeah well um a number
of things you have a different kind of hair stuck in your mustache there's been several the one i
pulled out my mouth was not from my yeah there's a different kind of hair poking out but i don't
have a cat it's like a cat hair i know it tastes like a cat hair it tasted like cat hair come here
oh yeah you didn't get it oh that's my nose it's from your mustache it's just coming off a little
yeah yeah it's more coarse than i when i had anticipated did i tell you last week after
you said that you had gray hairs i was in my hotel and i okay something came across my desk
yeah i'm sorry about that it's just like you thought you did that i know you texted me and
said i hate you yeah
and i literally my stomach dropped look at me now look what i had to do dropped and i was like what
could i have done and then i gave you gray hair did that inspire this completely unrelated if
you can imagine i'm sure it was subconscious right subconscious but what is that from
subconscious that was from that accent that you hate when i do the larry david accent yeah but
why is it why is the word subconscious i don't know because we used to do accents a lot when
we all lived together because we were we thought we were on the precipice of something precipice
that post what's making you anxious i don't have anything really that's making me really i can
speak into the camera oh but you have stuff that is unspoken yeah okay really incredible stuff
what what are you i'm like i know it's on your mind too i can talk about it because no it's not
that but i can talk about this because it will be done by the time this episode comes out
but i have to go on live tv yeah on wednesday it's monday right now in new york i i haven't
slept in a month yeah have you ever seen that video of the guy going on the today show have
you ever seen the video of the guy the newscaster having a panic attack on camera no it's not pretty
and i remember i saw it years ago because it obviously went viral of course and i remember
thinking like thank god i will never have to go on live tv
thank god and now here we are you make a plan and god laughs god is cracking up yeah i don't know
what i'm gonna do it'll it's like gonna be one full minute of your time and then that's gonna
be it and you'll probably only talk one five full minutes it's it's gonna feel like one it's gonna
be over in two seconds you're gonna be like i wish i had 15 i promise you that won't be i my line of
thing oh i promise you well you're gonna love it you're gonna eat it up i'm not i'm just like i
don't i don't i'm like i've never been this nervous for anything in my entire life
it's a layup no yes i don't know what to do beta blocker that's true i've been training
myself with my betas yeah they're so expired though oh that would actually google says it's
fine because the shelf life is of them is really good or i don't know if that's the way to like the
right way to talk about shelf life it just has a high shelf life if it has a it's not
it's not a long long long it's a width more yeah it's like air base times height shelf life five
so maintains up to 90 efficiency after five years past expiration date is what google said
how many years has it been two you're fine and it's not you're gonna get like a really
potent beta blocker that's a quaalude like it's not gonna like i want to like i i need something
stronger i don't think so i do i don't think so
i think i'm gonna get really drunk at 9 00 a.m before the today show that would reflect really
well on your line of work it really would okay so you can say today show yeah i guess this comes
out after yeah i mean i probably could have said it before too but i didn't want to talk about it
before are you gonna be on the today show part where i can be behind there with a window that's
here like i don't know she killed my dog or something i don't know where i will be sitting
i don't know anything i'm gonna wear this and just be right behind you like this
i'm hoping that what happens is that i'm in a room where it's like really not a lot of people
and my brain is not able to connect the dots like that it's gonna be live television i'm hoping that
it's just like this and like i'm not my body doesn't process the fact that i'm being live
that i'm live you're gonna be completely coach honest you know that the as soon as i finish the
today show we've recorded an episode of this podcast i didn't know that yeah so that should
be fun okay and you know what i've been telling myself i've been telling myself that i've been
telling myself that the only thing that helps it will be over no matter what happens
like it will be done even if i die on live television those five minutes will end
whether i'm here or not and life will go on oh i don't like that i don't like how you i don't
like how you went there no that made me because it is crazy that like if you were to die it's
like i would
helping me to think if i drop dead on the today show life will still go on they will they will
haul my body off and then they'd have to do the next segment and they will go on tons of shit
goes down at the today show and they go and they move on oh my god some bitch is gonna bring out
some pans and be like this is you need these for the summer and your body's gonna be just like
bagged up to go doggy bag okay this is helpful good oh this is helpful good yeah good well i'll
be back in new york
when do you leave i'm gonna go on your flight tomorrow surprise are you actually yeah i just
moved it i'm gonna keep this on you don't know what flight i'm on i have i i found out there's
only a couple flights no you didn't yeah i did what flight are you on you're on the 11 a.m to
jfk no i'm not well i am now so i'm on the 10 a.m itchy i might have a dry scalp today which is a
bad day to put on the put on the look but yeah i'm i'm going back and then
my timing kind of opened up until i go see my grandma at the end of the month in michigan but i
am just in new york until i move in my apartment that's such a good feeling
the feeling of being able to delete street easy and zillow from my phone seriously seriously feels
like you didn't tell everyone you got a new apartment oh on the bonus i did i got the
apartment i got the apartment and deleting zillow and street easy from my phone feels like i'm
leaving like an abusive relationship like that's awesome these things have been playing in my face
these photos i've seen i'm like this is a real photo like it genuinely feels like deleting dating
apps being like i found the one you know and something i found that was like pretty cathartic
after i've deleted these things was like finding out that like as much as i hate landlords just
because of my experience with landlords i think someone else that's equally up in the ranks in
Evil spirits and like genuinely sadistic individuals.
Sellouts.
Can I guess?
Yep.
Sellouts.
Evil, sadistic sellouts.
Is it like something similar to landlords?
Yeah, kind of.
It's in the process.
Oh, is it the broker?
Nope.
Is it?
Sometimes, but not always.
Is it a realtor?
Nope.
Is it, it does have to do with housing?
Yeah.
Is it the mold inspector?
No.
No, you wouldn't say it.
bad word about the mold inspector tell me the photographers you are just if not more because
you're selling out deceitful as those you work for it's like a dating app like who does it help
that the pictures don't reflect what's actually there some we're gonna find out we're gonna find
out and i'm holding you we need to start holding these zillow photographers accountable for what
they're doing who are they is it are they i think a lot of times it's the people who just
own the house uploading photos right there are some photographers and i've gone to places and
i've toured places and then they they get posted on instagram and it's like these amazing
architectural digest style photos of this like large space and i'm like no no no no i'm commenting
on them i'm i'm leaving comments i'm saying do not fall for this please
you
use your eyes yeah look and see and hear heed my warning do not even go tour this place
because it's gonna suck you in there sometimes it's the complete opposite though and they post
kind of like bad pictures and it's an amazing place i have not had that experience ever in my
life you've you're very lucky you're a lucky girl oh i haven't had it but both kat and tristan's
places they were like crappy photos they were just whatever and their houses are gorgeous no these
people like they're genuinely getting
the getty photographers from the red carpet to take photos of this like 14 square foot apartment
and i'm like oh my god i could get a ping pong table and i get there i'm like how do i get in
through the door because the door touches the other wall it's super crazy yeah it's not helping
anyone no and this is the this experience with the apartment that i was that i have signed the
lease on now it was honest and it was truthful and it was real good that must feel so amazing
i'm looking i'm very much looking forward to it i'm looking forward to when do you move in
the 15th two weeks so exciting it's gonna be really great it's a shame that you won't be there
while i moved in you'll and i'm not i'm vending you over to see my current home
but you know we're gonna go out to a celebratory dinner yeah when i'm there because i will have
completed the today show unless i don't make it we're gonna go to a celebratory dinner no matter
what happens we're gonna celebrate can we do like
7 30 i would love to do something later huh no like that's perfect 7 30 why wait what i would
love to do something later no like i was saying like in my mind 7 30 is later so that was me
agreeing with 7 30 for a dinner wait what why are you confused because does that feel early to you
that's like an early oh so to me that's like the latest i would ever go what time do you eat dinner
5 and you don't eat a second dinner
i usually have a pretty substantial dessert
i get pink berry most nights what i'm bad i'm a bad girl
you're crazy yeah or i like pig out yeah i my my eating schedule is weird because i don't eat i
i can't do breakfast i'm really nauseous for the first four hours of the night
so i do lunch and then an early dinner and then crap my crap meal so from like four to ten you're
crap you're crapping out no from like wait what you're telling me i'm just kind of repeating what
you're saying lunch yeah no i got at like noon yeah early dinner and at five at like five and
then maybe like eight i'm doing crap oh so i guess that could maybe 12 you could think about it
as the 12 o'clock is my breakfast the five o'clock is my late lunch you're like intermittent and then
i just do crap for it and then you're crapping out towards the end yeah oh i kind of like finishing
with crap yeah i'm always fin topping with crap what crap did you top with last night
um a chicken finger a leftover cold chicken finger oh like when you set up the word crap
like i was expecting some that's not at all one chicken finger well i wasn't very hungry
i haven't been eating just due to extreme extreme anxiety you know what here's let me tell you me
i'll i'll be home if i if i start if you put if you say crap to me i want you to know the other
day i put in a turkey sausage and just raw into the air fryer and then i just put cheese over top
of it and then i cooked it for 10 minutes that sounds good yeah that's my that's my crap and i
also will usually do fruity pebbles i'll do i'll do 10 frozen meatballs and some strawberries
you you eat so well i know i eat like i'm living in ikea that's perfect i do like it
yeah i'm not complaining at all but crap to me would be like this bowl of shit and sometimes
i'll just do olives like a jar of olives that's disgusting to me i like olives but 7 30 to me
to most people i think now is like an as like an early dinner 7 30 to me is the perfect time to
eat supper moral of the story 7 30 is fucking fabulous for dinner it's pretty perfect i will
see you at 7 30 i'm looking forward to you know why i want to do 7 30 because you're done by nine
no because i want to take a
pretty significant nap before that yeah because i will deserve it did you hear my stomach just now
because i didn't get a chance to eat my chomp no why do you sound like olivia dean or did you
eat my stomach just now um i have to tell you something yeah i got these new flip-flops oh i
saw them they're like wedge wedge flip-flops those are what my mom used to wear because she
has plantar fasciitis yeah they're kind of oh you think these look like plantar fasciitis
it helps with your arch yeah okay so i
felt like i was a little bit too much and i was like oh my god i'm like oh my god i'm
pretty bad getting out of an uber when yesterday okay just alone
like hard onto the thank god it was grass but like i fell and i've been thinking about it ever since
so how does that how'd you end up with the the platform fly oh i was wearing them and i've fallen
because they're a different sort of shape they're huge yeah they're they don't
go well with my ankles so i'd fallen like pretty hard and it was pretty embarrassing and everyone
was like are you okay where did you do people see yes yeah yes yes it's like to fall it's just hard
brooke i tell you all the time when i fall when i'm by myself it's usually like if a tree falls
in the forest doesn't make a sound like if you fall when you're alone you genuinely don't make
a sound because it's like who am i doing this for a lot of people saw yeah did you make a sound or
did you get up and no it was so soft because
it was on the grass but it was full body like it was like it wasn't even like i protected myself
with my hands when i fell down i just gave up like did your chest hit the ground body like
like body slamming that's my favorite way for people to fall it was almost like a stop drop
and roll like you hit horizontal i don't even know i just remember being split i was splayed
out it's almost like i was died like it did a dive like a belly flop jump because i was just
like i don't care i don't care
about anything did you bounce i think on my way down i was actively like i don't care about
anything it's all over anyway like i just hate this and so i just like completely had given up
halfway through that's so funny oh my gosh that was like when i got hit by that car
yeah in the scooter i was in the air for so long that i was like am i still in the air
how embarrassing yeah it was horrible and then i i hit the ground i was embarrassed too and
the car yelled at me and i was like sorry
but that's like i like getting hit by a car is less embarrassing than falling for sure
yeah don't you think yeah did you bounce hard hit like hit and just stuck the landing yeah wow
so that is that i wanted to tell someone well you and you you know what you got back on your
horse those platform platforms you got back on your horse those platform platforms you got back

great but don't you think it's crazy that the content creation section that piece of it all
i didn't know there was a content creation section and it's it's like positioned towards
kids i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know did you hear there's a
at some school that's content creation that's what i was gonna influence that's what i was
gonna say next next okay it's a job oh totally it's a job did you see that no influencers allowed
sign at that place yeah do you have anything to say like i was kind of well do you think
i know what you're gonna say what no i'm not gonna say because i don't want to be wrong i
it's obviously like you can come in if you're an influencer you just can't be influencing right
also where was it nantucket yeah which is like you can go like alex earl could go she just
couldn't be at inactive influence she can't be under the influence yeah i think that's totally
fine like the it was just like it was just like weird to do i guess where was the sign just like
for all of nantucket no it was in one store it was in a basket store for back they sell baskets
which like
the no influencer sign then just do like no filming well i think that they don't want the
group of i don't really know i don't know but it works because like now i know about this basket
store in nantucket you know that was their plan all along i don't think it was because they
doubled down influencers no influencers no influencers sign so oh my gosh i know her
she's from houston sparks debate i like i'm totally for it if it's like no filming
but then just say no filming so that's i think where the confusion is for me
slow news day in nantucket i guess was meant to be tongue-in-cheek oh was it oh it was meant to
be tongue-in-cheek that's weird well no i think that like no it's like you know it would be really
funny and no influencers sign i mean they i don't okay i will say this like i don't think it was
tongue-in-cheek in the way of like this will drive business because i don't think it was tongue-in-cheek
because if you owe if you own a basket store in nantucket like i really think that that might be
just like a passive fun hobby that you do because i don't think that like i don't know anything about
this store i'm just guessing but you're probably not driving like i own a storefront in nantucket
money from a basket shop is it a basket shop antique store basket shop yeah so i think that
they probably like don't need the marketing so i think the no influencers thing is probably like
an inside joke
they were going for like one of those like home goods type of signs like
no our hearts are happy now that we're together type of vibe my cup is over my cup is overflowing
because it's sunday and i have coffee yeah something like that no i think that i think
that it was probably like a they probably talk crap about like influencers all the time they're
like wait we should put a sign up that would be or it's like it reminds me of like
um reminds me of something like no
i don't know what i don't know what does it remind you of like it kind of reminds me of my
beware of the cat doormat but i don't know how to make the connection
tongue and cheek tongue and i think that's the connection i don't know what tongue and cheek
it's like glib what the hell we're planning is that from like tongue and cheek no don't go back
like if i hope tim dylan doesn't get a hold of that last like 30 seconds of the podcast because
that's gonna be a lot of fun i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know
tongue and cheek means joke irony or funny remark and describes a statement that is i know that i
know this but where did tongue and cheek come from like this because you're like i'm bad yeah like
i've been bad a bad girl yeah 18th century facial gesture where people push their tongue into their
cheek to signal contempt hidden mockery or suppressed amusement we should start doing
that across the room at parties like when we know anytime we do a joke on this podcast we
shouldn't laugh anymore we should go
no influencers
i hope they don't buy all of our baskets
stay out of my antique store
exactly we're joking it's so it looks really good when you're bald to do that
they have follows don't let the door hit you on the way out okay so overall my take on that is
i guess i don't really care how about you oh i couldn't give less of it okay cool
sounds good i was never gonna go sounds sounds good to me never oh look at this picture of us i
genuinely miss when you had hair i have hair
i miss it it just feels like i just don't remember what you look like with hair
what are you doing on your phone i'm looking up things to talk about oh i want to talk i have
stuff to talk about we'll do it yeah i wish i was in west virginia why it's my it's one of my
favorite places yeah i'm reading your book right now and you mentioned west virginia like right
away isn't that scary that is really weird and i was kind of like i don't believe west virginia is
real yeah and like when you have a plan god god god be when you have a plan god be like
that was god when he was reading phoebe god when he's reading phoebe be like
oh yeah so yeah god sent me to west virginia
and i and i loved it so much west virginia was amazing just it's just it was nice to be really
removed if you yeah if you find yourself in that part of the country which is funny because remember
when i was i was in i was in charlotte north carolina and then i had to go to charleston
and i was driving xavier and maggie because we had a show in charleston yeah and i was driving
and then two hours into the drive and i made them i made them
wake up early so we could spend the day in charleston wake up early we couldn't do the
complimentary breakfast i said p pack your bags we're leaving at nine we leave we drive two hours
and xavier at some and i was thinking to myself i thought charleston was on the water maybe it's
on a lake charleston's not on the water sure is i think charleston's pretty landlocked south
carolina north carolina yeah fully it's on the coast oh no i'm thinking of charlotte yeah
are you talking about charleston south carolina
sure i don't actually know no i think it's north carolina charleston
oh south sorry it's okay um so i'm yeah it's right there on the it's on the water there
in the water in south carolina yeah so i was driving driving and i was like huh maybe it's
on like a maybe it's on like a bay and the bay comes all the way in and then xavier goes i don't
know how to tell you this he zooms in on that we're in west virginia and we were one hour away
from charleston west virginia yeah awesome it wasn't your time to go there yet no it wasn't
and i'm so so glad we got the time that we did it was so fun we went to the new river gorge national
park preserve and preserve and preserve and preserve i think it's just the newest national
park it's the newest national park it opened in 2020 is it the second longest river did i make
that up it's a second behind the nile or the second oldest oldest
which is yeah because it was ironic that it was called the new river yes yes that's yes but it's
it's the oldest one yeah and we went whitewater rafting i miss it i miss the rapids i just didn't
i just never pictured you on a whitewater everyone has been saying that like how much do they have to
pay you to like get you out here i like that kind of stuff it's just a matter of like i what i don't
like is like the active like like i don't like hiking you know i don't like exerting myself
necessarily but like i love like hiking and i don't like hiking i don't like hiking and i don't like
nature and water sure you know yeah so whitewater rafting is good my concern was just if i was
going to be seasick or not and you don't get seasick on the rapids so i was fine i don't
totally get how you get seasick on the ocean but not the river i think it's just so slow and calm
and then the parts that are like whoa are like three seconds yeah well you did it you did a
great job and we filmed a bunch of it and it'll be released i'm excited to see that in some
capacity with our with our family over at t-mobile that's the thing about family is
it can look like anything it can look like anything
I found mine in in West Virginia yeah damn yeah that was so much fun um I haven't talked to you
about anything for a long time you know I went to that wedding I went to Paige and Tommy's wedding
oh yeah and New York I didn't see any pictures of you well here's the thing and I'll tell you
why you didn't see any pictures of me one because as I was getting ready I haven't worn my tux in a
while somehow I have two tuxes and I have no idea when I that's crazy the guys can just wear the
same thing to every wedding it is crazy but when you think about the fact that it was 98 degrees
and girls are wearing like a flowy dress and I'm in a three-piece suit and then I'm going to tell
you this next part I have not put on my tux in a while I have my body has changed
a lot since the last time I put the tux on I'm going oh
maybe I should have put on my tux in a while I'm going oh maybe I should have put on my tux in a
while I'm going oh maybe it's because I just had lunch no you look great thanks do you think you
bulked like muscle I'm talking about the pants though my glutes are beginning a little bigger
I've been down to put on my socks my crotch rips out like I bust through the crotch
nice completely so I go it was busted through the front of the crotch yeah
what nothing you think I can't bust out the crotch
no I did not say that the way that my thighs had filled up the pants
busted out the crotch okay so then I throw on my other tux pants they are like skinny
like they're like fitted you know like I wear kind of wider legged trousers right
I forgot that my tux pants are like fitted so I'm already like uncomfortable I'm sweating so
much from like my shins and my knees which like I didn't even know you could sweat there
that I'm already like uncomfortable I'm sweating so much from like my shins and my knees which like
like they're it's sticking to me and then I was sweating so profusely that I
posted a video like I had to sneak away from the reception and go into this like
like the venue area and take off my jacket and sit next to a fan and I
posted it and everyone was like we're really concerned for you they were like
what's going on because I looked so unwell in this thing that's why there
was no pictures of me because I was sweating so
much that I looked I looked I'm gonna show you that's my least favorite thing
is when you like post something because you're like haha which I just like I did
with my lip and then everyone's like you need to go to the hospital like I was
like that no everyone's not what I meant we're really really really scared for
you I'm gonna show you here we go I'm gonna put this on the that's how tight
my pants oh I'm gonna put this on the that's how tight my pants are oh you
really like you just got out of the New River Gorge I'm soaking from head to toe
look at when I look at my jacket for the first time you look handsome thank you
that's really nice but look at the look at this Oh my tux my god so like I felt
disgusting obviously it's like the hottest group of people ever anywhere
like Paige Lorenz is like obviously it's everyone's so so 10 out of 10 and I'm I
just complete
last couple days on earth vibes from me just like sick sweating on the ground
on my knees inside the house as these classy folks walk by it I'm like soaked
head to toe that is tough I'm sorry yeah people kept but I would have been so
jealous of that sweat cuz you know I can't work up a sweat like that people
were like where are you and I was like I couldn't tell them I'm in them I'm in
the portable potty yeah next to that they were pumping AC into it like I was
dealing with the smell because I was like I need that to be next to this flow
you should bring a portable little fan with you it died you need to bring the
shark yeah the chill pill you know I love the chill pill yeah highly recommend
the chill pill if it no one if anyone needs it have you seen obsession yeah
what why are you look why are you acting like that cuz I talked I talked about it
a ton I don't remember that was Brooke gone when I talked about obsession oh
yeah you were I think you were what did you say
what are you gonna say what would what did you say well I said it was a
fabulous movie and people yearn for new faces and film and TV and I thought it
was fabulous acting across the board and it didn't leave me feeling unsettled the
night that I saw it but the more that I sat with it the more the one week later
I was like oh I'm like freaked out about that it was making me feel sick I love a
adina adina nadina not at all what's her name her name um something kind of similar but not really
indeed indeed yeah indina verrett she is like so gorgeous and talented yeah the acting was
incredible if i could conjure up my nightmare film it would be puke and dead cat
and the end and that was and that was that for me not the her being stuck being obsessed with
someone that she's like no that honestly makes sense to me what they kind of lost me because
so he wished for her to love him more than anyone else yeah how does that translate into what she
became it was a descent into madness yeah i just like really didn't understand the pipeline of like
just like
i want her to love me to like her shitting on the floor and like throwing up and cooking a cat
it was just like you she lost love you more than anything like drives you to insanity yeah like it
was like she was unable to like function or do it like love loved him more than breathing loved him
more than like going to the bathroom loved him more than but like why do you love someone so
much that you have to cook their cat i hope like that i hope you never figure out that would just
like never like i've i've had some pretty intense limerence i've i just like it i i wasn't relating
to it's certainly not supposed to be a relatable film right um but i think that what you're
feeling is the completely what like the intention behind it was like it should be like i just kept
going like why is she doing that good okay good good good yeah why is that girl beating that
girl's face into her steering wheel until she turned no that made sense oh that i'm like okay
like jealousy yeah jealousy on steroids like extreme obsession got that part i didn't get
the like that made sense i just didn't get the like cooking the cat that you only lost her at
the cat well there was a lot of stuff where i was like why are you pooping on the floor
because i love you see that's where i was like how did we get here she never pooped that
she did something she did she did i think poop on the floor i don't think she pooped i think
she pooped and peed and puked i guess i'll just piss on the floor yeah yeah she had to wait for
him to get home she couldn't go to the bathroom dogs do that all the time and they love you
that's a good way that's a good way to put it just like pure just unadulterated
like unconditional love i understood the taping of the door like yeah i got that part it was just
there were some things i was like i'm not following your thought process which again as you said like
good yeah like don't put yourself in those shoes because you'll fall those are huge shoes because
they're for plantar fasciitis um but yeah i i wish i wanted i wanted to go on reddit after but
i'm i'm blocked from reddit reddit does not enter my
i know but i like going on after movies they need to make a new reddit that's like for people
with jobs they need to make a new reddit that's like let's like kind kindness kind reddit yeah
let's make kind reddit where is nathan fielder dumb starbucks and kind reddit two things that
will never exist i miss dumb starbucks i miss nathan me too i saw a picture of him recently
where he's a little older than i remember you know he's like not as old as you
would think he is really he's like pretty early like early 40s he kind of aged like they used to
in the past what do you mean like george costanza you know like george he's always had more of like
a mature look you know even when he was like 20 he was like pepper vibes yeah that's what my hair
looked like when i looked in the mirror and saw that one gray hair i saw nathan fielder yeah i get
that in the mirror it's so like men really do get to like get better looking as they age he's funny
he is yeah hot take hot take nathan fielder's kind of like tongue in cheek
what nothing i watched something else too
cool i i need to go see the odyssey so i can talk about it and i need to go see i'm gonna go see
spider-man i heard people are crying at spider-man and i i forget that like spider-man is always sad
i know but i forget that like
i don't know i guess i cried at remarkable remarkably bright creatures what did you forget
that like people take it like oh no it's really spider-man's really emotional
although i've never seen tom holland's i don't think i could ever cry at a superhero movie
you didn't cry when uncle ben died
no that's like to me like titanic level
titanic is uncle ben as martin sheen's uncle ben passing
titanic is like what is it called fictional reality well i've also never made it through
titanic but don't do not speak on my on my film but uncle ben dying is like one of one of the
worst things in the world i'll have to re-watch how are they still coming out with spider-man's
i don't get that either i don't get i don't really know no way home they're different
like spider-man no way home spider-man i'm heading there spider-man on my way
spider-man forgot my keys spider-man doors unlocked spider-man did i turn off my oven
that's funny that's genuinely funny thanks and you should add that to your stand-up
write it down why aren't you actually writing it down
just like what
you didn't even laugh no i'm not like a big laugher
but i really did think that was like smart and funny thanks well we could clip it if we
you want to clip it no i don't know if we should clip it but i think it was like you could workshop
it oh my god well i was
workshopping it yeah i think you should take it and continue to workshop it and use it in stand-up
okay let me try it again let me try it again no no i don't no no no no because i want to clip it
no because i want to clip it okay how did we start it doesn't matter i don't want to do it anymore i
lost it okay i got turned off just something to think about i'm not even i'm not even in the mood
anymore i miss laughing with you yeah me too you're not yourself with your bald head no i've
mode exactly that's why you should have done that after i did i was thinking like oh this is smart
as you were going and i was actually thinking like i can't i want to join in with him you could
have joined i was i would have loved if you joined i was trying my wheels were turning and nothing
was coming out you know what i think that we we don't do what sit with it for a second and like
let our wheels turn i would have needed 35 minutes to think of a no no you're very you i'm not quick
you're witty i'm not i'm witty but i'm not quick you're witty and quick and you're on your toes
i'm witty but i'm not quick your tongue and cheek your most definitely plantar fasciitis on your
toes with your tongue in your cheek and the shape of an l on your forehead see like that's really
quick but it's not funny like i bet like you can be quick all you want you can say whatever you
want as fast as you want like i thought that was funny
oh thanks i appreciate it clip it i think you're an amazing guy i there was like a full thread of
people being like i fucking hate when connor wants to clip something like i didn't know that people
were i'm like oh my god i'm not always clip farming you guys lately just kidding do you
want to hear something really gross yeah what i what i did to my lip yeah you know i still can't
well so if you get squeamish like i'm warning you this was not okay what i did
basically i don't know what happened okay i woke up i did get lip filler two weeks ago but my lips
were fine so and then i called the dermatologist and she said she thinks this is un lip filler
related i woke up with like a little like blood blister on my lip that happens which happens i
think fine whatever i was and i fucked with it pretty bad sure and now my entire face is a bruised
lip and purple
that's the end of the story i'm not i'm just not going to tell you how i fucked with it because
that's the squeamish part did you like pop it like a pimple i stuck a safety pin in it oh brock but i
sterilized it with it with alcohol are they supposed to sterilize it with a lighter
i think like parent trap i think alcohol is fine they have a lighter in that little cabinet and
like obviously i shouldn't have done that y'all don't need to tell me that like oh i know baby
i i'm paying the price yeah so
i was bleeding a lot out of your lip okay and my problem is that i just i'm a picker and i can't
let things i just can't let things be i think that goes for physical things on my body and just
situations i can't let anything be ever everything needs to be handled as soon as possible look i've
never had a
scab because the second something starts to scab it's gone i've picked it they they need to make
scabs you can just like put on and pick off like artificial scabs like glue yeah yeah we already
did that yeah i've been there when i got to my new apartment and i had a box of miscellaneous items
and i had like six bottles of glue because i forgot that i went through that phase in my adult
life where i wanted to put glue on my hands and i was like no put donate get the glue
you don't need six things of elmer's glue actually i don't need glue for anything when's the last time
you use glue genuinely connor i was looking for my glue yesterday i shit you not
period and if i was just being quick i'd be like oh i don't have anything you're quick
i don't know i actually like because i said that i i blanked i'm a slower girl uh muhammad ali
that was a compliment yeah that was just quick that yeah but it wasn't funny well that was in
reference to a different video what was it okay so i didn't i don't i don't really know what the
clip is but the tweet name a woman no the tweet was it was connor harris and so the the caption
is me when chat gbt is down and someone asked me my name sorry were you laughing at what i said or
your sneeze my sneeze her sneeze is funnier than what i just said no that's funny i forget what you
said i told you i'm a slower girl when i'm one of those girls that's a bit slower slower than you
might think think i am me when chat gbt is down and someone asked me my name and it's coming here
it's going that uh muhammad ali okay that's funny that's funny that's funny i like it i like it i
like it it's topical oh um um muhammad ali yeah that's a funny clip yeah that's like the i think
the people that come up with those clips are the people that come up with those clips
are the backbone of our society like what's that girl's name that that video that we watched last
week where she's she's got corinna that sorry i think i'm allergic to your bald
don't say that you need to be sweet
be sweet say one sweet thing i have said so many sweet things to you i told you you looked handsome
in that sweating video i told you your body's been looking amazing i told you you're funny and quick
see i told you that i think
you're a really good guy i can't say anything sweet about your head you need to say something
sweet about my bald bald head brooke i don't like it it makes me feel weird
you knew i wasn't gonna you knew you did it to unsettle me no no one did you expect no one i'm
not bald i'm not bald to convenience you or inconvenience you i didn't think you were this
was never this my my baldness is not to impair you in any way i'm i'm exploring my body i'm
you did it to get a a jarred reaction from me no brooke i did it for not for them but on no
in no world did you think brooke's gonna think i look really brooke i didn't again i didn't do
i didn't do the bald bald head you weren't thinking i just didn't think that you'd have
this adverse of a reaction i don't and to the bald community i told you i'm not to the bald
community i'm sorry i didn't know i did not know it's the cube it's the shiny i've had an
experience with someone in my life with a shinier bald or head it's just it left a
negative taste in my mouth left a bitter taste in my mouth i can't speak on him right now
it was a him it was like a a teacher like type of person who i just science just didn't care for
no history no math no i'm also not gonna say because it would really narrow down
and it's not even like it wasn't even like anything happened it was just like
the only thing that i associate with this person is his bald shiny head like that is all he is
kind of
you can't be a person with a bald shiny head and have that not be your whole thing
unless like unless you're like you you really have to be like bald is beautiful and bald does
not have to be you don't i don't mean to be bald as bald phobic as i'm being like and like i am i
am but i and i have no problem with like bald with like a little bit of something and i there
are some types of people with this types of baldness totally actually i think we should
delete all of my no it's okay no now i'm getting
scared because like some people like medically have to be that bald and that's fine bro you're
so fine no and that's completely fine like i'm not talking about i i'm also talking about like
what you've done like this creepy man type of situation i i love bald women
oh i want to go on record i love bald women i have no problem with people that are bald for
all different types of reasons it's this archetype of creepy man that you're going for that i don't
- I'm not going for creepy man, in fact,
I looked up fun prosthetics, and this was the least creepy option.
What were the others?
Like half men, half fruit bat.
I just now I feel like I'm being a little bit gaslit.
Brooke!
I don't feel like it's insane for me to look at you right now and be like, ew.
I genuinely like, me and Izzy were like, oh my gosh, I kind of like this on me.
Izzy?
It grew on me.
It grew.
It did.
You have, to all the people, like you have that.
And I think maybe sitting with me for the next couple hours today will help ease you through that.
Because, Brooke, I'm your friend.
I'm your neighbor.
It doesn't feel like it.
You've got to be sweet.
It's this.
It's this type of person and baldness that you're embodying.
Maybe if I would have put on, like, glasses.
I think that would have made it a fuck ton worse.
Yeah.
I'm just me here.
With.
When do you think you'll take it off?
I don't know.
I really.
Do you think you'll wear it all day?
I want to drive with my windows down.
My bald, bald head.
You're not going to feel it.
You're not going to feel the wind on your scalp.
Yeah, I think I will.
No, you won't.
Because that's not your scalp.
Do you see what I mean?
Yeah.
Why are you touching your toe like that?
I don't know.
Jesus.
Well, now I feel bad.
No, it's fine.
I'm just saying, like, if I ever end up bald, that's going to be unfortunate.
I think you're an amazing guy in so many ways.
And you're not going to.
You won't end up this bald because this is not the person you are.
Well, I'm telling you right now, if I'm balding at all, I'm getting rid of my hair.
Yeah.
No.
It's just like, you're, you, it's also, please don't forget, you have a mustache.
Is it mustache?
You're doing bald and mustache and, like, you're literally doing lovely bones.
I am not doing lovely bones.
I'm, if anything, Mr. Clean.
Can we look up Mr. Clean?
He doesn't have a mustache.
But, like, the thing about Mr. Clean is, like, what's his whole thing?
Like, his whole personality is being bald.
No, he's, he's like Howie Mandel.
He's like a germaphobe.
Oh, I guess I don't think of Howie Mandel as just being bald.
Yeah.
Can we look up Howie?
Like, Mr. Clean is, like, shiny because he, yeah, I guess that is his whole.
I feel totally fine with Howie.
Yeah, he did.
That doesn't affect me negatively at all.
No.
Oh, look at him with hair.
Wow.
He looks like a loofah.
He looks great.
He looks like someone that I know.
Um, I know who he looks like.
Who?
Remember that guy that did, Adam Melcher?
Kind of.
Oh, I could see that.
Do you know that I went to the doctor to chat about my bald symptoms?
And I was, I was older than the doctor.
That sucks.
I remember you talking about that this weekend.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's just a list of people we should never be older than.
I should never be older than a doctor.
I don't want to be older than an Apple Genius Bar employee.
Do you have this list on your phone?
I have a couple.
Okay.
I don't want to be older than my whitewater rafting guide.
No, that sucked.
And I don't want to be older than an Olympian.
Olympian, I'm totally fine with.
I don't want to be older than a professional athlete.
I'm totally fine with that.
I understand that they're young.
The reason I don't want to be older than a professional athlete is because in my mind,
I'm like, I still have time to do that.
Yeah.
I sometimes every once in a while I'll get hit with those TikToks that are like, Tony
Morrison wrote her first book.
When she was like 50 and then just all these accomplishments that these amazing people
made like later in life and they always find me right when I need them.
I'll send you one later.
That's because your phone is tracking your data.
Yeah.
I have one more thing to say before we go.
Yeah.
It's possible it slipped my mind.
Really?
Yeah.
Did you see that the Sprouse Brothers started a podcast or maybe just Cole?
I think it's just Dylan.
Oh, it's just Dylan.
Yeah.

I saw this TikTok that was this girl interviewing these like younger boys.
Like, do you think it's possible for a woman to be attractive over 30?
And they all said no.
Fabulous.

I hope you have a good day and sorry about being so harsh.
And I hope that when this comes out, I'm still alive.
Me too.
But if I'm not like it wasn't meant to be.
I hope when this comes out, I'm still alive.
I hope I'm not like the bald.
Wait, now I'm like horrified that I manifested something bad in the space.
Everything is going to be good.
I'm going to be fine.
And you'll be okay because you have to.
I'll be okay because I literally have to be.
And I've done things that have, I've done things that have made me feel the same way.
I've done so many nerve wracking things and I've come out the other side.
I'm stronger than I think I am.
I'm stronger than I think I am and I can do hard things and I will do them.
And I'm going to have my chomp because my stomach's gurgling.
