The Nee-Yaww Shift

Phoebe Berman's official entry into Hollywood is a major milestone, announced with significant public response and real-time engagement. The host reflects on her personal transition into her 30s, noting the surreal pace of events and her own evolving identity in the public eye. The conversation highlights how unexpected moments—like a clip featuring a man with poop on his face—generate widespread cultural discussion, showing the power of relatability in media. The podcast’s community is praised for its deep engagement and genuine support, reinforcing a strong connection between host and audience. A playful digression into science, including questions about funding for mosquito research and the role of grants, showcases the host’s curiosity and humor.

(audience cheering) - What a month. - I know. - You're having like, you're having someone's whole life, dreams in a one month. - It's very weird. It's very, very weird. - Are we recording? Are we recording? - My mouth is so dry. - Okay, welcome back to Brick economy. A podcast, Brick just posted the official announcement of Phoebe Berman is going Hollywood mode. - It's weird, because all these episodes will be out like far past all of these moments. - Yeah. - So I'm still in my 20s right now. - Yeah, oh my God, yeah. - By the time even the episode we recorded yesterday comes out, I'll be in my 30s. - Oh yeah. - My 30s. - Yeah. - So I get that that's a confusing timeline. - You might make say 30 under 30, just like right in time. - I think I'm gonna make the 30 under 30 today. Today is my last day of being 30, 20. - I think you might, I think you might just slip in their cracks. - They're gonna slip in the cracks today. - Yeah, hello Forbes. Hello Hollywood, hello Forbes. (upbeat music) - So I just like, as we were sitting here blasted out my Phoebe Hollywood. - Well, it's gonna be hard for me to do it. - Close to now my mouth is dry and I have to be off my phone for an hour. - Well, you have a 115 comments in three minutes. - I don't look at it because my stomach's feeling sick. - I have to. - And look at this cake. Look at this cake. Have you seen my cake? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Isn't that perfect? - Is he shared behind the scenes as men? - As he's freaking amazing. It's my boys, I don't think the camera can see it, but let me explain it to you. It's my boys reading Phoebe and by my boys, I mean, John Logan and Shane Hollander. - Oh, my dad just texted me. Congrats. - I would like to see those boys together on the ice. Who texted you? Don't tell me who wasn't. - My dad just texted me and said, take, take Congrats to Brooke. - Oh, I'll tell him thanks. - Well, he's really on his phone, isn't he? - He's on it. He's on it. - What are you doing seeing that announcement in real time? He has your full expectations on. - Yeah, I was thinking of having an earnest conversation today, but we can do that later. I just feel like I'm not processing everything and I was feeling bad about last episode where I feel like I was kind of not acknowledging everything that has happened in a way where I would genuinely like to thank everyone but feel weird about it. So we can save that 'til a lot later. - I never hear you're ready to be earnest. - And, now it's just a lot going on and for a girl in her 20s, you know, for someone so young to carry on her shoulders and that's it. - And all that bullshit. - Yeah, so what's been going on since I last spoke? - Yes, well God, where do I begin? We have a lot to catch up on. I will say like the first thing I opened my phone to today was one of our close to three is kind of going viral and the top searches about laundromats being a third space. - I don't, I'll be honest in the way that like you didn't read Phoebe, I didn't watch the episode with Ray and I think we're even. - Okay, well I did not read Phoebe, I'm reading Phoebe. - Yeah, and I've watched the clips in the first 10. - Okay, well the top. - The Philip were in a good spot. - The top search, the suggested search for that clip is Connor Personality Mogged by Ray. - No. - Yeah, so wait, I didn't, so in the same way that like you didn't watch the episode, I didn't read the comments. - Yes. - And so mine, I wonder if I'm, 'cause someone also said like, the first guy, the first guy, well there's a couple comments, which is the first guy. - I'm the first guy. Someone said like, he is, the first guy is so unlikable even though I agree with him and I said, okay, all right. And then someone else said Yikes, is that the dude that had the poop on his face? Like they're all, I don't know how this reached the side of it. - It's an amazing thing, we're known for so many different things by so many different people. - Yes, you're an executive producer and a Netflix movie. I'm a guy with poop on my face. - Yeah, and it's fine to be either one. - Executive producer and-- - Oh, I don't think it said executive producer, so I don't know about that. - Well, it's probably just not, I mean, it's like a no-brainer. Like that would be, I thought about it after we saw filming yesterday and it does like, there's no other-- - Makes sense. - You wouldn't, you wouldn't have-- - I mean, I'm here to ask him one question. - There's time. This is gonna be like a longer-- - Yeah, longer process. - Yeah, like you will, that conversation will probably just be, and it's gonna be like, this is what, they're gonna be like, and you're cool like executive producers. Like that's what-- - No, the conversation happened, but it was like a year ago and then it's been like pretty much, no one said anything since, so I don't know. - Yeah, but I'm talking about that. - I just feel like they're just gonna, they just tossed that in right, even though like it's an amazing, amazing, like crazy needs, it's just like a casual, like, and you'll be executive producer, of course, and sure, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, he is, I wouldn't, I wouldn't, I wouldn't hold it against you, if you started kind of acting differently. - I was acting, hmm, I was like a year ago, like I was being really, like I had my executive producer hide on, for like a week, I was like, a lot of people don't know that I'm an executive producer, but that, yeah, that luckily has faded. - No, I mean, if you just wake up one day and you're like, I'm an executive producer, I'll be like, no, yeah, you should, I mean, yeah. - A woman of many hats. - Wait, are you gonna check your answer? - No, it was making noise, so I turned it off. - Wait, I'm addicted to it. - No, don't. - Oh my God, you're, don't look, don't look. - This girl is really letting herself go. I'm being serious. 400 comments, eight minutes. - Oh, I thought you, okay, don't look, don't, my mouth is so dry. - It's hard not to, it's hard not to. - We have to not. - We have such, you know what we should say right now, I'll start the Ernest's conversation. We have such an amazing community of people that are like, - I agree. - These people, I'm like reading them like, oh, is this your friend? It's probably like just someone that we, that listen, like a listener. - No, it is the most supportive and engaged community. - Yeah, it's fabulous. - The engagement is key. Like our followers are so engaged. They're so engaged. - Which is so nice. - Yeah, no, I love it, man. I completely love it. - Is there a way to turn Connor's volume up? I almost called you Colin. - It's okay, you can call me whatever. - Ooh. - Misses off the wood. - Yeah, you just went up. - Okay. - Okay. - When do you think you'll get the NEPO baby allegations because of your rich dad? - Ooh, hopefully soon. - Yeah, that will be nice. I think that's a compliment. That's literally like, you know, people are like, oh, I started to get like, is this person on a ozampic allegations and like when you're not there, you're like, okay, that's like huge compliment. - Yeah. - I started, I got at one point when I was going to the gym. I was like, someone was like, did you get on a ozampic? I was like, no, I just locked in for one week, but thank you. Haven't gotten any of those comments recently, but like, that's like the NEPO baby conversation is like, that's when you know you really made it career wise and entertainment. It's like, wait, I've decided that since this person's parents have seen a movie that they obviously knew the ins and outs of the industry very early, and that's why they were pushed into this world. - I've definitely, you know, I had a really good conversation with my moderator in St. Louis, 'cause I called myself a NEPO baby, 'cause somebody asked about the publishing process and I was like, well, I had a little bit of an advantage because usually you have to submit your work to agents and then you get an agent, but I already had an agent. So I had a leg up because I'm a NEPO baby and then we had a really helpful conversation for me where she was like, no, you're not a NEPO baby because what got you the agents in the first place? - Yeah. - It was my winning personality. So that was helpful. St. Louis changed my life. - Oh, you love St. Louis, the only city you explored. - The only city I explored. I actually did love St. Louis. I went to work at a cafe there and the people were so nice. - Wow. - Yeah. - Yeah, someone from St. Louis was like, please don't walk outside of your hotel. Like after, I'm gonna get in trouble for talk, every time I've talked about a city recently, like the people of that city have come for my jugs and like I just ran into someone outside and they were like, we're from Milwaukee. You kind of dis Chicago last week and I was like, I didn't dis Chicago. - No, you said you like Chicago. I said, I love Chicago. I forget about Chicago and I'm upset that like I don't get to go to Chicago that much. And then I referred to Chicago as a non-binary city and I think that's what's upsetting people, which I think you all need to look inward. - That's a, they need to look in the mirror. - Yeah, why did that upset you? Go chat. - Yeah, totally. Yeah, no, that, that, I've kind of been, without you here, I've kind of been getting thrown to the dogs, like, - People have been coming for me. - No, I don't like that. - I know, it's scary. - Mom is here. - Well, I'll take us on my normal ride of just like dumb as hell topics. And then-- - I have the one topic that is the, like could be the dumbest of hell of all time. - No, I promise you, Rick, like whatever you're gonna say, I have three that will start with your dumbest and I wanna see who wins. - Okay, I'll start with my dumbest. And actually, I think this one's pretty intuitive, so that's fine. I keep coming across like for whatever reason, a lot of like scientists are coming across my page, recently, and the scientists are always like, yes, I just created like a pink and an orange mosquito. And like when they suck the blood and there's light on them, like the blood will, and like, I'm just like, I don't really understand when you're a scientist and like, I know you're doing research, you know? How does scientists get paid? Like if you're just a scientist in general and it's like, I'm studying mosquitoes, it's like, who is paying for you to study mosquitoes? Like, I get when you're studying, what? - They get grants. - Who, from who, like, you understand what I'm saying, right? - Yeah. - Like, we just accept when people are like, I'm a scientist and it's like, okay, totally. And then we just kind of don't check in with them until they're like, I discovered that you could turn mosquitoes green and it's like, what have you been doing, you know? There's all different types of grants. There's, you can get some that are federal and some that are, I don't know, but I had a friend who worked in biological anthropology and I did not understand how she was getting paid and she was getting paid through this grant. And that's the best I can do for you. - No, it is, like, scientists are kind of like these forgotten people, 'cause obviously they're making a lot of advancements and they're like, okay, we just, we're making dogs live longer and it's like, thank you, but like, how did you, how did you get that? You know what I mean? Like, I get you, like, home in your skills. - That's the case of a lot of people where I'm like, well, who's paying, just like anyone who starts a business. Like, I was thinking about like owning an animal rescue and I was like, how do they get paid? That's like a non-profit situation, I think. - Yeah, how do you get paid, like, who pays you? - Well, you don't make a profit, but you still pay your wages. - So, if you own a non-profit, you'll never make a profit. - It's not for profit, so I don't think. - Is that what that means, though? - I don't know if there's a difference between non-profit but not for profit, but if. - Like, what is by definition a non-profit is something that never makes a profit? Non-profits pay employees using revenue generated from diverse sources, money laundering, including grants, donations, fundraising events, and mission-related service, whatever. Like, this is like, not gonna work. - But they're compensated as essential operational or administrative expenses. What does that mean, exactly? Pay rolls, so they are paid. - Yeah, these are not employees working for free. Like, if you work in a non-profit, you do have, I don't think. - Who pays the person who's paying everyone else? Like, if I was like, I wanna own a cat rescue and I go through all of the necessary steps and get all these grants and I pay my employees, I had, like, they're making money. That's, who's paying me? No one, right? Do I make money? - I think if you started non-profit historically and I'm just guessing, I think historically, like, you do have some liquid income and that's why you started non-profit to kind of, like, have some right-off ability. Rather than distributed to owners, you had the owners that have. - So the owner never makes a cent? - No, this is, like, beneficial for them in other ways because I think that they write off the non-profit as, like, an operational business that's not for profit and it counts as charity. - Okay, I wanna do that. - I think you would be good at that. - I don't think I'd be good at it, but I think that I wanna do it and have other people, like, be good at it. Does that make sense? - Yeah. I think it means, I think it's great to delegate tests to people that are, like, more honed in on them, like, scientists. - I actually think I would even need to hire a delegator. Like, I don't think I can do anything, but, like, give, like, I'll give them money to do everything. - I think that's smart too. You hire. - I think, save the cat. - Hire a showrunner. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Okay, what's your dumb thing? 'Cause, I don't feel like we got newware with, and I wish I had a better example of, like, the scientists. Like, do you go to college for being a scientist? - Yes. People make your science. - Oh. - But it's, like, different branches. So, like, med, medical, shit like that, like. - They can be paid by that. Bio-biological anthropology, zoology was one, I'm just thinking of. - This is what, like, this is what, this is the part that I don't get. Research can be designing experiments, performing experiments, writing numerical progress. Like, it doesn't make sense. Anyways, we can, like, that's just kind of, like. - This is not, yeah, this is. - Like, bro, you come to me six months in, like, haven't heard from me. I've been just, like, kind of moving in silence, and it's like, what have you been doing? I'm like, oh, I've been performing experiments. And it's like, if I hadn't been performing experiments, I could just tell you I've been designing experiments. Like, I have a concept of an idea of what I want to work on. I'm not saying scientists don't do anything. I'm just saying it, it's, like, a really good job for someone that, like, if you're really good at it, to just, like, fuck off for three months, and then come and be like, I just turn to mosquito green. - Yeah, no, look, I'm really pro-science. - No, a door science. Why am I obsessed with science? - I know, I'm being so genuine, like, I really, really care for it. Like, can't do it. - You're not supposed to do it. - And won't do it, but, like, I really appreciate the people that do, and I think it's an amazing thing to do. - Way to just, like, cover all your bases with that. - No, I'm being, like, that's coming from my heart. - Yeah. - That is not me saying that just 'cause. Like, I heart science. - No, science is all good in my book. Watch, like, every episode that comes out, like, I'm gonna have, like, a legia of scientists that are just, like, coming from my, like, I'm gonna be on, like, a science subreddit, be, like, he hates science. - I don't fuck with physics. - Broke, that's just because, like-- - And I'm not afraid to say that. - No, it's just because, like, we don't understand physics. - No, it's not that. - I don't like it. Like, truly, in all of the science classes I've taken, it's been, like, oh, I don't get it, that's really interesting. If I did get it, like, I could see myself really appreciating that. Physics, I never felt that way. - You don't have an affinity for physics. - But even with, like, all of the atoms and molecules and the mitochondria and all that, I was like, that's, cells are amazing, like, that's so cool that all of this stuff is going on in my body. Like, DNA don't get how it works, but, like, so fabulous. I never felt that way with anything with physics. - Velocity, I don't care. - Yeah, actually, when I went trivia the other day, I, it doesn't, who cares about what I'm about to say? - I do. I genuinely do. - No, you don't. - I do. - It was just a question about, like, which one of these is not part of physics? And it was, like, velocity and the other is one. - Mass, don't care. - You don't care about mass? - No, I don't. - I'm trying to think of one principle of physics that I care about. Like, space and gravity, like, cool, interesting? That's the most interesting part of, to me. - Space and gravity? - Yeah. But, like, I don't care about the other stuff. - I don't think that that's-- - Yeah, that's more, like, yeah, astronomy. - I think those are just-- - Yeah, that's astronomy, which is cool. Yeah, physics, I do not fuck with at all. Is he, can you look up, like, what makes up physics? And let me see if there's one thing that I'm, like, good job. - And I'm sorry to all the physicists. It's just not my interest. - I don't think-- - Is there physicists still? - Matter, energy, space, and time. - Oh, space was right, okay. - But no, different kind of space. No, yeah, like, I don't, I don't fuck with the, any of those. - Like, like, the one we've been watching. - Like, spatial. - Yeah. - Yeah, I don't fuck with any of that. Electromagnetism, I do not like thermodynamics. I really don't like. I really, thermodynamics is my least favorite of the sciences. That is on the bottom. - I like relativity. - Really? - Yeah. - No, that's what I was saying, I do too. That's space, time, and gravity. - Oh, wow, brook, I'm aligned. - Speed of light, I never, I couldn't, I can't wrap my head around that. You know what I can't wrap my head around? And I don't know if that, I think this is physics. - What? - There's a property. - I win an ambulance. - Oh, yes, I lie in. - Is it the Doppler effect? - Yes, brook, good job, it's the Doppler effect. - Easy, can we look up the Doppler effect? The Doppler effect really always threw me for a loop. - Brook, I love it. - I love it, I freaking love it. - I love it too, no, it's like show-round, you know? - Yes. But I, the Doppler effect is the change in the apparent frequency or pitch of a wave in relation to an observer caused by relative motion, between the wave source and the observer. That's what you're about to say. - Brook, can I, yeah, exactly? In so many words, what I was gonna say, Brook, is that I think we like sound and things like relativity because they remind us of water and we love to swim. - Yeah, like Doppler, that reminds me of droplets. - Yes, yes, that's what I'm saying. - Yeah, change them. So how does it relate to the ambulance? As an ambulance with a blaring siren approaches, the sound waves are compressed, causing a higher pitch sound. So, what exactly does that mean to me with the ambulance? - Because it's like louder when you're coming towards you and as it passes, it's-- - It could be the same distance from you, but if it's in front of you, it's louder and if it's behind you. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - As the vehicle drives away, it's moving away from the sounds, it just emitted. The sound waves are stretched out of our larger sense. This creates fewer wave crests, exactly. Cheever lower pitch swale, exactly. Different sounds too, not just softer, different. - Right, and we do that. - I part the Doppler effect. - No, me too. - Doppler, if you listen. - The black recognizable part of the siren sound is the distinct knee yaw shift. (laughing) - Wait, sorry, can you do that? - I totally agree. - I want to see how that was spelled because I don't-- - Oh, NE-E-Y-A-W-W. - Oh, the knee yaw shift. - Yeah, it's the knee yaw shift. - Can that be the title of the episode? - I want it to be. - Yeah. - Great, do you want to, can you walk me through your hierarchy of needs? (laughing) Like, obviously we know that the main ones are like, food, water, shelter, I think? - Yeah. - And then the middle is like hugging. - I'm so happy to do that. But can I just say why can't I remember literally anything, but the Doppler effect was like, right there. I had it ready. - You know what else I have ready? And I've had this ready for a few weeks now. The Krebs cycle. - I'm sorry. - You don't know that one? - The Krebs cycle, no. - Krebs cycle. - Yeah. - I went to public school. - No, you could learn about the Krebs cycle in public school. - Yeah, but we didn't though. - The central series of enzyme-driven chemical reactions that take place in the mitochondria of the cell. - What? - Just know that like, and the Krebs cycle has come up on my personal life a few times in the past few weeks. Just know that. - How? - You know what else? - No. - Avogadro's number. - I do know that. I do know what that is. - The mole. - Yeah. - Oh, Brooke, did I have trouble with moles? - Oh, Connor. I remember I got a 59% on that test and my teacher wrote Don't Panic. She was so sweet. - I remember you through, once you had me, you had me in the beginning, I go, yes, yes, yes. I don't know why, as class went on, they're like, let's push them to their absolute limit. Let's push these young people going through like, all of these coming of age experiences, and let's give them moles. - Let's push them to their absolute limits. - And then? - Let's take these people going through puberty, heartbreak. Parents are probably getting divorced. - They smell like shit. They're horny. - Life feels like it's over. Life feels like it's over. Let's give them avocados. Number right now. - You know what these kids need? - Thermodynamics. - Worse mental health numbers in the history of recorded history. Let's give them avocados number. - Let's push them to the absolute end of their rope and give them a 59. - Let's absolutely have them question their relationship with their family and how they were raised even on a spiritual level. And then, let's introduce Okim. - What a weird thing to do. - It was downhill very early for me in terms of math because I really truly wanted to be good at math because all of the guys were really good at math. It was better in English. It was better at history. I think every class should be optional. - Well, it's just so standardized. We're just not standard people. - No, we should all get to choose what we want to study. And I wish I knew about more different things than the Doppler effect I do 'cause I will say until this moment, Doppler effect didn't affect me. But I wish I knew how to taxes, you know? Like, that should be what's required, is like how to be an adult. - My, yeah. My favorite. - Doppler should be an option if you're interested in it. - My favorite thing was like that cartoon of the monkey, the draft, the lion, and the turtle. And it was like, okay, now climb that tree. And the turtles, like, legitimately I can't. And they're like, well, this is the standardized test. Like for everybody. And it's like, well, it doesn't really apply because there were different species. I do think it's reflective of people's different abilities. Like, I was not good. I could not do math. And the way that my professor, I told you this, in calculus, like in college, when I was in college to be an engineer, passed me based on genuine, just like ability in charm, which I'm very flattered. She shouldn't have, because if I would have built a bridge that she'd have blood on her hands. - Right, it needs to be about equity and not equality. And that's, I've always said that. - Right. Okay, hierarchy needs. - Speaking of that, hierarchy of needs. Like the things that I need to survive. - Yes. - My bed is like genuinely number one. - Well, that would be under like shelter. - I was gonna say it's not under sleep. 'Cause I need to work in my bed. I need to recharge in my bed. That's just like where my like pastimes need to have. Like I can reboot my nervous system. - I'm gonna look up the actual like science. - Oh, okay, self-fulfillment needs. Yeah, to achieve one's full potential included creative activities. Bed. 'Cause that goes at the top. Self-fulfillment needs. - Can you hear me? - Yeah, I'm trying to read. 'Cause, oh, I see, I see. Okay, I had it backwards, okay. All right, okay, I get it. So I would say warmth and rest would be your bed. So that you're right on the money there. - Yeah. - I would say physiological needs. - What's the-- - Can I be honest? - It's a survive. - I see a logical is always a word that has given me pause. - Okay, I think my thing is like just a triangle and I don't think there's levels. - Fine, let's be around. - I seriously like, I have to go swimming or I'll explode. You know, like I genuinely like, you know when people are like, I'm low and iron, I need to eat red meat. I need to take a supplement. I truly feel like when I'm without swimming or that I'm without some body of water to jump into and float, I'm off. - What sign, what kind of sign is Virgo? - I don't know. - Maybe it's a water sign. - Let me check. - It's an earth sign. That also makes sense for you. Can you hear me that it's earth? - Oh, what is earth? I'm sorry, what does that mean? (laughing) - I think it just means, yeah, what does that mean? Is it mean these people connect more with the earth or the earth charges them? - They're more grounded. - You're more grounded. Earth signs are practically grounded in reliable builders of the zodiac. - Yeah, well, I mean, you read something like that and does make you not really totally believe in signs and what they mean because I don't think I'm super grounded. - Nah, yeah, that's true. - Okay, you didn't have to. - No, I don't think that's a bad thing at all. - To not be grounded, I feel like that's like-- - Well, I guess like, you are grounded in some ways, for sure. - This is a good time. - But I guess I was thinking more of like, physically, like you're always on the move. (laughing) - I think it's more of like a touch grass type of shit. - What are Gemini's? - They are air. - Air, what the? - No, for being highly inflectual, communicative social and curious. - Broke you at one of the most curious girls I know. - I don't align with that. - And you're so social. - I don't really align, but-- - Yeah. - Somebody's a great-- - I don't really align with Gemini, but apparently I align a lot more with cancer, which is my other thing. - Like your-- - I'm a cusp, I'm also a cusp. And, but cancers, my rising, or the other thing, which I align more with. 'Cause I think cancers are highly emotional. - Okay, it's just like, doesn't, I'm so sorry to people that like really align with this. I just like, it's never made sense to me. And also people are like, you your Virgo. I feel like obviously that's not something that I want to totally like subscribe to. - I've gotten that to a Gemini. I think they get-- - It's weight easy. I mean, when people-- people are coming at you, they're like, you, your Virgo, I'm just like, well, then I don't believe in that and you're crazy, which like that would make sense that you and my Virgo, if I'm like, you're insane, I'm gaslighting you, you're like, yeah. - Yeah, it's easier that way. Okay, my dad has called me twice. It's probably to tell you congratulations. - You'll call him back. - No, I'm okay. I'll call him after 'cause he's gonna, I taught him on Monday, he's gonna ask me about my move and I don't have any news. Do you wanna hear my dumb thing? - Yeah. - Oh, food, water, warmth, and rest would be physiological. - All right. My dumb thing was that, and I saw this on a clip on TikTok and another podcast did it and now I lost it so I can't find them. - What is it, I probably saw it. - It was just them reading the description of Tyra Banks' young adult novel. - Okay. - And it was called Model Land and it came out in. - I remember this. - 2011. And I want to read you the synopsis. Okay. - Okay. - Well, I'm gonna start the synopsis on the good read synopsis and then transition to the Wikipedia because both have important elements. - Okay. - No one gets in without being asked and with her untamable hair, large forehead and gauky body, Tuky Dilla Creme is an expecting invitation. (laughing) - Tuky Daily Crab. - What should I name her? Oh, Tuky Dilla Creme. - Rest in power, Tuky. - Tuky Dilla Crab. - That was me ordering my poke the other day. Can I get the Tuky Dilla Creme, please? (laughing) - So obviously imagine me like I had some weed product last night and I hear the words Tuky Dilla Creme. - Tuky Dilla Creme. - I text everyone. Has anyone heard from Tuky Dilla Creme recently? No one answered. Okay, now I'm gonna move over to the Wikipedia. Wikipedia. - No. - Model land. Okay, get this. Yeah, she goes to the board and it's a model land for a chance to join the in Toxabella's, the most celebrated models in all the world. Along the way, she meets a plus sized girl named Dylan, a four foot seven inch girl named Sharaz and an albino girl named Piper. (sighs) Okay, together they form a strong bond as they face the trials and tribulations of model land and endeavor to find the truth about why they were all accepted to it and why I'm mysterious and posture seems to want nothing more than for them to be gone. So I have to read this. - Yeah, right. I also just wanna flag like it's so important to have like a really good circle of friends. And I'm not talking about the book. I'm talking about why didn't none of Tyra's friends say, "Hang on." And like all of these things are fine to be. Like plus-- - I don't know, totally good. Four foot seven, totally good. Albino girl, totally fine. But coming from Tyra-- - Yeah. - Coming from Tyra, there's an undercurrent. - Yeah. - And it's just something that I wanna read. - I know, this is just what happens when there's a lack of checks and balances. - You get the reception. - Publishers quickly considered the book over long, campy, and warped, and a non-stop barrage of surrealism and wackiness. But conceded that it could serve as a guilty pleasure. - Okay. Yeah, I mean, someone compared to a Dr. Seas book. It had a promotional single. - A song? - Yeah, "Model Land." - Perfect. - So yeah, just know that like last night, I was like really truly like, "Tookie Zilla Creme" was a part of me last night. Anyway, that's my stupid thing. - Well, it wasn't as stupid as me being like, I don't know what a scientist does. - Stupid in different ways. ♪ Runnin' in the end ♪ ♪ In my street with four chicks in me ♪ - Uh-uh, I went on my phone. - Brooke, this is the-- - Oh my god, Brittany had somber unreal court. - What? - Brittany had somber unreal court. - Oh, good for them. I bet they hit it off. Did you hear the song I was playing? - No. ♪ And from this wasteland ♪ ♪ And back to the model land ♪ - Is that "Model Land"? ♪ You can, you can, you can, you survive ♪ ♪ The model land ♪ - I can't, it's coming through so warped. It's like giving Doppler effect. - No, Brooke, that's how it sounds. - Wait, actually? - Yeah, I promise. - Is he, are we gonna get flagged if I play it on my phone? Or is it, who cares? - Oh, bleep it. - Model, is it called "Model Land"? - Yeah, no space. It's like, Contlina, Zabia. - Oh my god, wait. Was it "Be a Star" from "Lifesize"? No. Oh, it's by, I see Contland, Xavier.

I remember it, but I never saw-- - Was that Lindsay Lohan? What didn't she do? - She was just a child. - She really was. - Yeah, that was good. - Have you thought about while I'm gone who you're gonna have, who you're gonna have on the-- Oh, wait, you don't have to have someone on the podcast. - Yeah, I do, 'cause we're-- - Oh. - Who will you have? - I don't know what to say, I'm probably Kat. - Yeah. - Like if we want a good episode, I'll pick a-- - Okay, easy. - No, I was not a dig. That was not, I mean, like more of a standard, like, you know, like. - Yeah. - Standard. - Yeah, well-- - But who else could I pick if we wanted to go more of like, the take a risk route? - Well, why don't you have someone on that you wanna talk to about your movie in your book? - I don't, I do feel really done. - Okay, got it. Well, while I'm studying abroad, I'm working on people that might wanna come on while I'm abroad 'cause I found a podcast space in France so that I can borrow. - Seriously? - Yeah, isn't that great? - Who will you have on in France? - I don't know, maybe I'll ask Brittany if she has time. I don't know if she will have time. She's gonna be very busy, but she's there and-- - That could be hot. - Yeah. - Okay, it'll be about six a.m. for you. I think if I, so I don't think that that would be like a, but we could just have it. Doesn't hurt to have it. - Doesn't hurt. - But I'm trying to think like who else do we have that's like Ray? - We have our friend from Doritos. - Yeah. - Which I would like to be there for so that, I don't know about that, but like we have Joanne from our Joan from Joan's on third. - The Barnes and Noble girl. - The Barnes and Noble, I haven't seen, I think she got, she ended her partnership with Barnes and Noble. I think. - I don't know, I'll think on it. I don't know. - Okay. I can't think of anyone. - Did you know that last night I got so scared in my apartment that I almost got a hotel room? - No, I didn't know that. I don't know about my well-being in terms of the hierarchy of needs, 'cause you know how like safety is number two for hierarchy of needs? For me, safety's one, you know? - Yeah. - And there was someone outside making threats to what seemed like maybe the wind for like 10 or 15 minutes, 'cause I was able to peek out from my, from my hovel and see that there was no one else out there besides them. - Okay, well that doesn't involve you. - You're right, it just makes you question like the strength of the window, even with the bars. - With the bars, like truly nothing can happen. Like could theoretically they put their arm, 'cause I've thought about this with my bars. Where they could do is break the glass, like punch it through the bars and have their hand like coming in and flailing. But. - I would hate that. - That doesn't affect you. - I think on my hierarchy. - Yeah, obviously it's not ideal. - I think on my hierarchy of needs, it's like no arms in my room. - I guess worst case scenario would be there's like a weapon in their arm in their hand. But like even so, you could dodge that. - I don't, I'm not like a dodger. Worst case scenario is some sort of poison. -Buckstops. -He's fringal. -I don't like that. -Or like a grenade. -Buckstops. -Imagine? -I, because if someone puts their arm in my room, but it's a grenade in my bed. Like, that would be butt-n-an as I wouldn't even care. Like, if they do that, that would be just like, "Okay." Like, you were-- -Wait, are grenades? -No, that's a landmine. Grenades, you just have to pull the thing out and throw. -Yeah. -Okay. Got it. -I, tomorrow, it's going to be the most fun day I've had-- I've had so far all summer because it's the next parade. And everyone is-- that I know is like taking off of work. 'Cause a lot of them are like, "I wouldn't even be able to get to my office." And we're going to go-- we found a restaurant that's letting us go at 7.45 in the morning before the parade, and play our own music. And because I saw this video of these guys in the locker room, I think they were like soccer players or hockey players, and they're all singing "Man I Need" by Olivia Jade. -Wait. -Livia Dean. Yeah. And I was like, "I need to do this." I need to sing "Man I Need" with like a group of people, like jumping around, just like pure joy. And they-- the restaurant agreed. -That's awesome. -I'm going to be on Cloud 9 tomorrow morning. Were you really invested in the games? I-- you know, I don't like "Care for Basketball." Yeah. But it's just so cool that it was like when we were all watching, and like, I'm okay to acknowledge like the bandwagonness of it. Like, I am a bandwagon-- I love that. No, I love bandwagon. Yeah. And like, when we were all watching Tiger King and Outer Banks, like, I have lacked that feeling until the next started playing, and it's like, every-- every people I know that don't know what like "Nix" and "5" means. Like, it's like, they're saying it, and I'm like, "I can tell you that you don't say it." But like, you're enjoying yourself, and it's like pure of heart. -Was anyone rooting for the other team? -So they're the spur-- San Antonio Spurs, and so I was getting a lot of heat speaking of, for not-- they're like, "You're a fake from Texas." I'm like, "I've never lived in San Antonio." -Right. -I have no attachment to the spur, just because they're in Texas. I'm a fan. I live in New York, you know? -Yeah. -I didn't see anyone talking about them. Yeah. I didn't even know who they were. It definitely is the more popular thing to be a fan of the next. It's like, it's been 30 years, I think, since they won. And so it's just like fun, and obviously, the pop culture of it, all the Timothy Schaume and Taylor Swift and everything, is like, catching a lot of eyes. I wasn't connecting until I saw an edit to Hamilton. -Okay. -The lyrics, Connor, it's from "Skyler Sisters." History is happening in Manhattan. History's happening in Manhattan. And we just happen to be in the greatest city in the world. That playing with the next Shootin' Hoops, I had tears in my eyes. I really, truly like, it's like fake summer camp city right now. Like, it's like you walk past a coffee shop in the mirror and someone's like, "Have an awesome day." And I'm like, "You too, man." It's just like, everyone's hot. There's no strangers right now. It's like the coolest thing you're walking in. This one's really brought people together. Yeah. I was like, I forgot my wallet. I had ordered a coffee and just the breeze, it goes on me. No. Yeah. This is just bizarre, like, great. And I was like, "I'll be back later." And I'll come just drop off some cash. But what was I gonna say? Oh, I watched the game on this, like, the last game on this little miniature TV that was hanging up at the Comedy Club in Orlando, which I didn't even talk about this yesterday, but like, those, Orlando was like two of my best shows I've ever done in my life. I didn't even do my set that I wrote. Like, I just was like off the dome doing jokes. I was just like so much fun. And then watching the next one. And then Disneyland, the next day, I was just like, it was like, I went to Disney because the next one. But tomorrow is going to be an absolute movie. Just, I'm so excited to be here in the city that never sleeps. Wow. I would like to go there sometime soon. I hope you come for my crawfish boil. I hope you have your crawfish boil in August. I am. Cool. I'll be there. Yeah, end of August because I'm like not even here for the rest of the month. And then into July. I'll be there a lot, LA. What's in your Sonic cup diet coke? Oh, I thought it was grape juice. No, it's diet coke. It was just warm out. So my ice melted, but I could go to grape juice, which is like not something I ever really typically crave. The blood of Christ. Oh, see, and I was thinking of Shabbat grape juice. There's, we have a lot more in common than you would think. You and I. So my religions, all religions really do. Like they both have grape juice. I think we can all agree on grape juice. Yeah, I think we all drink grape juice. Yup. We all bleed grape juice. I really want this in my cake. Why don't you have a piece of your cake and eat it too? I don't. Well, then I won't be able to talk to you. And I really need you here with me today. I had to look it up this weekend because I almost captioned my photo from Florida. I eat your heart out, Florida. And then everyone was like, do not post that. That's like, that's like a big fuck you to be like, eat your heart out. Oh, I get that. I thought, I thought eat your heart out was like, thanks for having me. Yeah, I love you and I had a great time. Yeah, yeah, eat your heart out as like last words. Like you turn around over your shoulder. Like those are the last, that's it's a goose bumps walk away. Oh my god, I should have just said, eat me out, Florida. Yeah, that was great. Yeah, eat me out if I'm wrong, but. Oh, bring that back. I've been saying that a lot. Have you? Eat me out if I'm wrong. But yeah, I've said that today was a movie. I don't know if you have said that. I definitely have. Are you traveling this summer? So I am really like putting this off, but I might be traveling for the 4th of July, but I've just been waiting for the last, to the last minute, because I didn't like, when I was touring, I was like, there's no way I'm getting back on a plane and leaving the cats again, but now, like, as time passes, I'm like, I don't know, should I go? So wait, where? 30 A, but I don't know, like I, I literally think I will decide the night before. Because it's mostly leaving the cats, which I do think I've developed a problem. Like, I don't think it's like a normal, like, I don't want to leave my cats. I think it's, well, it's something more severe. Okay. Like, I truly think I'm like ruining their lives. They like want you to head out for a little bit, so they have space. No, if I leave, like, I really feel like I'm abandoning, especially Rob, because he's so clingy, like, I truly believe in my heart that I am, like, completely abandoning him and breaking his heart. Well, is he, when you were watching the boys, did, were they attached at your hip too? Not as much, but Rob grew on me. John, yeah, but not Rob. John, I don't worry about. John's very independent and loves whoever is there. Rob is, is a very, he's a mama's boy. Yeah. He's a mama's boy, and then he, and he was the one that almost died. So I think after that happened, I got, like, I'm just scared to leave. Is he sent the cutest picture of him? On the first week that I was gone, and I kept staring at it. And then eventually, I realized his lips looked, looked pale. And then that was, that was it for me. I was texting as he five seconds every five seconds to ask about the color of his lips. I didn't know cats had lips. I don't love that. He is the sweetest little lips. Ugh. But they were pale. But he was totally fine. They was just the lighting. Lactation came up again this, this weekend. And I had to like, I kind of like, forgot we were filming. And I was like telling everyone how I lactated once. And like, people don't respond well to that. Right. I think it's because like, it's so obviously not like milk. So it's like what the other opera in like of what it is is upsetting. No, no, no, no, no, no. Obviously, I got into a bit of a hole. And we started googling it. It is milk. Like there are, there are recorded instances of, um, fathers that have had to first survive, like, feed a baby. Yeah, wait. No, is he. I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding. I am not kidding. Is he going to Google this? No. There are like, there are recorded stories. And a lot of them were like in like, I think it was like somewhere else. It was not like United States cases. But, um, there were instances of fathers breastfeeding babies. Yes, men possessed the mammary glands and hormonal receptors needed to lactate and produce milk. However, it's biologically atypical for them to do so under normal circumstances when male lactation does occur. It's medically referred to as Gallic teria, which is awesome, that to say lactation is triggered by a hormone called whatever. Well, men's levels are usually too low to produce milk. Elevated levels can spur milk production. Common triggers for male lactation include medical conditions. Right. I'm not like squirting. You know, like I. - So what is happening? - I'm not, this happened one time when I was in high school. And we were like, and like everybody was, everybody was doing it. - I actually have chills, like in a bad way. - Okay, if broke, if all your friends were lactating, would you do the same? - No, 'cause, not right now, 'cause it's like making me feel really sick and in a way that like, I don't like. - You shouldn't say that about men's bodies. - I'm really sorry, like it's physiological. - Did you know that it is possible to make cheese out of breast milk? - I don't wanna talk about this. - What is grossing out about breast milk? - It's something, and it's not, I'm not happy about it. - Have you tasted it? - It's just making, like, me feel weird right now. - I just wanna have a conversation. I just, I'm trying to have a conversation. - I know, I so appreciate it, but for whatever reason, it's not the conversation I wanna have. There's nothing wrong with the conversation you're trying to have. - Okay, how can we shift? - Except for the way my body's reacting to it. - Something adjacent to breast milk. But like, we don't have to talk about breast milk anymore. - I will say I had an oyster last week for the first time ever, and I can never have one again. - Those are the, that's the one shellfish I can't do. Are oyster shellfish? - Yeah, right. That's the one shellfish I can't do is two bogeyrie and slimy. Tastes like me good. - It's, it's not gonna work for me. It didn't agree with my body for one and two. I'm just like really not drawn to something, or it's like, okay, swallow it whole, hurry. It's like, well then why did you even do this? No one's making you do this. - I love clams and muscles. - Yeah, I had a really good clam chowder last week. - I don't, I don't, I haven't had clam chowder. - Clam chowder, it was really good. That's my second time having clam chowder. They told me after that, that there was a lot of fish mixed into the clam chowder, which I'm so glad they told me that after. But yeah, things I did that. - Yeah. - I just like, I'm not gonna be-- - I think you would like muscles because usually the way it comes is listening to me. It just comes in like a lot of butter. - Broke. - And salt, and you just like, it's really for the like butter and salt that you dip the bread in. - When people try to convince me and they have my entire life to eat the shrimp, eat the muscles, it's fried, and it tastes so good with butter and aioli. My hair fried and dipped in aioli would be good. A pencil would be good, dipped in aioli and deep fried. That's not a good argument. - It wouldn't though. It wouldn't. - I'm okay. - I guarantee you right now if we were to deep fry your hair and toss it in a garlic butter, it wouldn't have the same genus aqua that the muscles have. - It's just like, you guys, I'm like so happy. I'm in a ai with you guys. Like get the muscles, get the muscles. I love when you guys eat muscles. It's great. Get all the muscles you want. I am gonna be over here eating a chicken club and that doesn't affect you at all. I like, I'm okay. You know what, more for you. - Listen, that's fine. You can like what you want to like. I'm just saying like it is just like drinking butter and salt and garlic in a way that I prefer. - There's just like no need for me. - It's like straight up. - There's no need for me to do that. - No rocks. - There's no need. - It's fine. - I ate gator last week too, which is also good. - I don't wanna do that. It's very good. - Apparently that tastes like chicken though. - It does. It's a little chewier. But it was good. And guess what, it was deep fried and dipped in aioli. So, I, who knows? - Yeah. - You know, I'm not eating like gator sashimi. - My favorite kind of aioli is just like mayo. - Yeah. - Like some more mayo. - Yeah. - Totally. - Thank you, bro. - I had it. Well, I like, I don't really love mayo. I haven't loved mayo. My mom, that was one of the things where like my mom, like would sneak it onto my sandwich and was like, gotcha, like you're eating mayo. And I'm like, - Why do you like need to sneak mayo into my sandwich? It's not even, it's not like it's a health food and I'm taking supplements. Why did I need to have, why are you like trying to wean me onto mayo? That's something that like people get off of. You do less mayo. - That's interesting. - I think it was because she always make like, like for hikes and stuff, she makes a bunch of sandwiches and like, I'd always be like, I don't want mayo and she's like, I'm making them all the same and it's like, it's, thank you so much for making the lunch but what is the need to put mayo on my sandwich to like, when? - That's what food that you don't like that you really wish you did. - See food. - That you wish you did like it. - Yeah, I wish I, I wish I could wrap my head around like a brand-zino which is just disgusting to me. - I don't fuck with that either. - Yeah. - I don't want you to just a fish. - With the head on it. - I don't want that. No, but I like shellfish. - Like escargot frog, like all the French food. I don't like French food at all. - Me neither, but I don't need to like that. - I don't neither. I'm okay, not. - I'm okay not liking that. - I don't really like a spacho. I'm okay not liking the brand-zino. - I wish I liked like most of the stuff on a charcuterie plate. - Oh, I will eat up the wooden board that the charcuterie plate goes on. - Yeah, like every time there's like a soft cheese that comes out, I'm like. - Put the soft cheese up my ass. - Yeah, I know. - I'm heading out so no one knows I took it. - Yeah. - I, you know how I get around charcuterie boards? I just don't like how the charcuterie board of it all, I turn into this version of myself where like I'm really competitive and I'm watching. I'm like counting, you had four, like there's, I go survival mode. I go hunter and gather mode. I go, I need to have those four grapes in that pretzel and I need to beat you and I be keeping track of how much you've been eating. And I don't like the person I become around a charcuterie. - Actually, worst case scenario would be like a crumbled cheese. And it just gets on everything. - It's not a realistic option to have a crumbled cheese on a charcuterie board. - I feel like that happens. - Do you remember when we went out to my album that one weekend and we had that person come in and make that like massive kitchen island charcuterie board and were you there? - No, it wasn't there. - It was, it was, someone rented it and we were way out. Everybody came, like it was like. - What do you mean? - Like everybody was there, like Courtney was, like parchment was there. I'm pretty, like it was the entire group. Caitlin Durand rented the house. - Oh, I wasn't there. Oh no, I wasn't invited to that. - Oh, okay. Well, I didn't realize, but it was funny because there was just this huge, we were all leaving the house, like checking out of the Airbnb and no one knew that this like charcuterie board maker came to the house and like, we were all like, oh, like we have to stay here and everyone just kind of like putting as much cheese and grapes and crackers into their mouth because like she set this whole thing up as like a surprise but we were like all checking out and had to be cleaning up and it was like, oh my gosh, we can't leave this like, kitchen island charcuterie out. It is weird. - Do you like the thin slices of salami? - Well, that's what I was gonna say. Like obviously I don't totally understand the rules and regs of leaving food out for hours just at room temp, especially the meats and cheeses. Like that doesn't really clock to me when like, people get mad at me when I leave a pizza out overnight like if you're in a hotel and it doesn't fit in the next morning you're like, I'm gonna have a piece of pizza and people are like, there's pepperoni on that. Like you'll get in trouble like, but you need a charcuterie. - Right. - That's also cheese and dried meat. I totally don't get that. - That's so true. And think of like, brunches when there's like little club sandwiches out. I don't get why sometimes it's okay and sometimes it's not. - I think it's all mental girl. - I wonder. And people say that rice is the worst thing to leave out. Did you know that? - That's a, they debunked. - Really? - Yep. Someone was like, we do it all the time. So I had a genuine, genuine, almost like it's, the thing is it's not unwarranted because there is science behind rice going to room temperature. Like you can die from it. - Sure. - But then someone, like a lot of people that were raised with a lot of rice were like, this is not true. I've been doing this for my entire life. Like that's just not, I don't know. - Well, it might happen sometimes and just not to those people. Even if it's like rare, it's so good to know that you could die. - I know, but I was wasting so much right, like leftover rice. It's like if it ever got to room temperature and if I had left a restaurant and I have to go box and the rice on the way home, I'm like too scared to even make it to the fridge 'cause I'm like, what the got to room? - Well, I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about like leaving it out. Like if you left your rice out on the counter for a few hours, like that you apparently, like you need to throw away. - Can we go get that? - So like if I had a sandwich out for a few hours, I'd still eat it. - Reheated rice syndrome. - Throw out your rice or you'll pay a price. Well, this is like a riddle that I have to tell people before they come into my dungeon house. Reheated rice syndrome is food poisoning caused by baccilius, Sirius, a bacteria that spreads improperly cooled starches. Throw out rice and other starchy foods that have been left out at room temperature from more than a couple of hours. These toxins are heat sable and will survive getting zaps on the microwave. Are coated. - Whoa. - Okay, so that sucks. - How can rice make you so sick? - It's like E. coli. - Unlike common food-born bacteria like salmonella and E. coli, cooking or reheating your food won't protect you. I didn't know that cooking, that reheating your food protected you from E. coli. Ooh, ah. - Well, it's like the microwave. - I don't want spore-forming bacteria. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah, we don't, yeah, we don't have to do spores. We have to do spores. - I had a dream. - Breast milk or spores. - I had a dream that Tristan Channing and Sody had some sort of horrible sickness and they were green and so sick and they were like quarantine in a hotel room, but Channing was going live. And they were all so sick and had one toilet and were like fighting over it. And then me and Megan lived in the woods. And we were like trying to tune into the live but couldn't get signal. What do you think that means? - You love your friends? - Maybe. Okay, well, it was nice talking to you today. - Likewise. - And have fun in France. - And congrats to you, executive producer, Brooke Averick, New York Times bestseller, Brooke Averick. Happy birthday to Brooke Averick. - Oh my God. - I hope this is the most amazing last day in this era and we will welcome you with open, open, open arms when you're on the other side. - Thank you for having me. And I'm excited to wake up tomorrow morning and play 3090 and really mean it. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Because I've never done that before. - Well, keep me updated. Obviously keep me in the loop. I would love to stay abreast on how it goes. - Okay, I will be in touch. - Okay. - Okay. - All right, thank you guys for listening. - Love, love. - See you shortly.
