[Music] Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh, brud. Happy 200 everyone! Yay! Wow! What a milestone occasion! It really is a milestone occasion. Hello everyone. Welcome back to Broken Corner. Make a podcast. Happy 200th episode, which I remembered and I knew about. That's why you're here. Yeah. That's exactly why I'm here. Yay! Look at this. Is he did our setup? He is so wonderful. As per users, no one on Earth quite like her. Sorry. No, just get it out. I'm trying. I'm really sick. So, one, I will have like some brain fog, just due to the cocktail of medications I'm on, and two, I will have some scent mouth sounds that will be out of my control. That's fine. So, I don't want to see anything on Reddit. I'm very sick. Thank you. It's so great to be sick on a 200th episode because it would be like that. Well, I wouldn't miss it. No, it would be nothing more classic. [music] Who am I to you? Oh. To you. Connor stressed up as something. I thought you were a fire sprite. Okay. And if I wasn't, who would be your second guest? A candle? So, like, I just thought everyone knew who this young man was. Do you know what the heat miser is? No. You've never heard of the heat miser? No. I don't even really know who he is. He looks familiar. Kind of. Yeah, he was angry about something. I can't remember his whole deal. But anyways, just so you know going into, we can circle back to the heat miser. But that's who I am today. And that's kind of the energy I'm bringing today. What does he do and from? E. [laughter] And I know you're, and you're Jewish. So, like, I should be the one that knows about the heat miser and the frost master or whatever the other guy was. Is he from Frosty the snowman? No, he's from the year without Christmas, which I found out this morning. Oh, I've never seen that. So, I guess Santa, like, goes missing or something? And then they are just like, just being absolute hoodlums running around town, being like, I'm the heat miser. And I'm a Frosty ass. Like, what is. Yeah, they're kind of like. Snow miser. Oh, the snow miser. Okay, so they're like two evil boys and they kind of are running around. Wait, you're the snow miser? No, I'm the. There's the heat miser and the snow miser? Yeah, they're right there. They're kind of. I've never seen the snow miser. There's this kind of dichotomy, right? Yeah. Between hot and cold and fire and ice. It's existed forever as long as we. As long as they're basically that dichotomy. And this is a good representation of that. The snow miser, the heat miser. I'm glad you could be one of your favorite characters for the big 200. Yeah, it's good. Now, I didn't recognize the overlap here at all. To be honest, I'm like, yeah, I would love it for the 200th episode. It was my face as usual. But this is great, too. You're on every drug for a cold, known demand. I'm dressed like this for some reason. Cool. Sure. Oh, fabulous. How else would we want to do 200? I don't know. I think what we want to do first. Yeah. I think we want to pop these shits. Do we want to pop these shits or watch this video first, Izzy? Oh, let's watch the video. I want to watch the video. 200 times you asked me to look something up video. Okay, really quick. Can we actually say two quick things? Can I say two quick things? We can cut it if we need to. One, if you're listening to our audio, I really implore you. Today's the day to watch video. It's a 200th episode. It's on YouTube. And you want to see, it's a costume today. You have got to see the heat miser. And you've got to see the heat miser one. You've got to see us. You've got to see me both fluctuate in weight and skin color, about 400 times during this video. She blew up. This chick blew up, Jesus. Oh, Marcel, it's so nice to see the hyper fixations on the podcaster out there. You know what? The biggest thing for me about this is the change in my width of pants, too. And it's not, I'm not talking about how, like, my waist size. I'm talking about, like, I had, like, tighter pants. And then I went loose for a second. And I said, let's tighten it up. Interesting when you talk about the fluctuation of your body. I don't see it. I think we're all very aware of what's happening. But you could definitely see mine. I issue blew up. [laughs] Brooke, but mine goes in and out of this place of roundness. Almost in, it's constantly fluxing. What do you think you are here? I'm somewhere in between. I honestly just look home over and that. I think you were. I kind of look, like, if you were to put a raw chicken breast onto a plate before you cut it up, that's what I look like in that. Some days, you know what's also weird about my face? Some days, like, there's just straight up no eyebrows. Like this. And I think it's based on, like, what my. Like, this is, I didn't do anything to my eyebrows here. But some days, they were just not there. It's like, they take the day off. He's hungover. We can sleep in. What's so interesting about you, and I think I've said this to you before, is I think you're, like, very unique looking. Like, you have a unique, in a good way. Like, I think you have, like, a cool, unique look, like, never been done before. But you also have so many doppelgangers. So it doesn't make a lot of sense. Like, you are someone that people spot on the street all the time because it's like, you don't blend in. You know, you look, you've got to look in a good way. But also look like everyone and everything. But look like everything. You know what's been happening to me recently? So I've been kind of, as a guy who's, I've worn a hat for the last five years on the internet. I said, like, my thing was hats. And I got so used to seeing myself with a hat that, finally, recently, I've been kind of exploring my body and my life sans hat. And so I've been soft-launching my forehead in a way. And I've been posting in my story. And I've been posting pictures and people keep responding. This is AI. People who think my forehead is AI. Interesting. I haven't noticed. Well, you're around me a lot. You know your way around me more. Yeah, I know my way around your forehead. Interesting. Yeah, I want to share more. But I'm going to hold some more stuff closer to the chest. Okay. Until maybe bonus. Okay. Because I have something to share that is interesting. Or do I have to unleash? Okay. It's another great plug for bonus. If you want to sign up for bonus. First of all, if you're watching, are you listening with your ears on audio? I would switch over to video. And then if you're already on video, let me take you one more step further. Sign up for bonus at TMGC.tv/BNC-MIP. Good job. All right. Okay. Let's watch this video. Can we type in on Google really quick? Can you look up? Can you look up? Can we? Can we please Google it? Can we look up? Can you just type? Is he? Can you look up? Can we just Google it? Can we Google it? Can you actually look up? Can we Google it? Can you look up? Can we confirm that? What if we just Google it? Can we look up? Can we type in? Can I even Google it? Can we just say? What's the leading definition? I would like to look that one up again. Thank you so much. I don't think we're stupid, and I've said this before, because when I have conversations with my friends off camera, like we're asking the questions that people would think are stupid, but we feel safe asking them with each other. And we're just doing that on camera, because we feel safe. We feel safe. Not a lot of people would feel safe asking stupid questions on camera, which is fair. Which is fair, and that's the right. But we do, for whatever reason, should we? Probably not. A lot of people say these people vote question mark? Yeah, bitch. Yeah, bitch. Yeah. Yes, bitch. Yeah, I bet you. Hey, bitch, we vote. What would you do in this situation? Anyway, yeah, no, I think it's great. And you, you're running platform is keeping serious, keep asking questions. I mean, how many people tried to eat? What is fair banks' disease? Exactly. And we'll look into that, surely. Because we have the whole day ahead of us. Well, I think we pop these shits, and I think we say cheers to 200, and cheers to 200 more. Ooh. Unless something bad happens. I, um, hang on. It's just cut along-- For ease. For ease. But here's the thing, have we ever made things easy? I haven't. So then let's just-- Make it rain, trick. OK, the rip it. We broke this last. Was it a fun fruit that we broke it? We be sweet. Hmm, see me do it. I'm the collective. Oh, it's actually for ease to use your finger now. Ready, Brooke? Yeah. Shake it? Who said to shake it? Oh, I don't know. I just-- I don't know. Which way does it come out? I think it's double-ended. OK, ready? No, honestly, because I'm scared it's going to shoot into my stomach. Well, hold it out further from you. That will still shoot into my stomach if it's out further. Well, then you do it-- No. You do it that way. I'll do it this way. You do it first. Well, three, two, one. Oh! It was that way. Which way? Which way? Which way? Which way? Which way did he do? Which way did he do? Which way did he do? Which way did he do? Oh, my God. Let go in your privates. God, where did that go into? I'm just a girl, and I'm very sick. I'm just a girl now, too. Oh! It was the other way. It's not that we're dumb. Happy 200. It's that we're not afraid to ask questions. Thank you. Yay! OK, this is mislabeled in the way that it's not labelled at all. It was misleading from start to finish. What does this label say? Scan the code for video instructions. This is not like a whole event. No, is this branch? I'm not scanning a QR code. What is this, what? Branch? Oh, I thought you said branch. Sorry, I thought you said branch. Can we Google what is branch? Whoa, OK. That was item two. I'm a docket. Item three. These little books. Is he-- is this-- Oh! Is he made us these books? Oh, is he made-- Oh, it's going to be-- Is it going to be a scrapbook? Oh, is it bell? Can I read it like I would read a story in preschool? OK, a lot of these features are really-- I'm really gross. And that first one-- Oh. Here we get-- well, are you going to read it? Well, we're talking the same. I-- yeah, they're the same. OK, I'm going to read it like a baby. OK. Look, I'm reading to my baby. All right, again, this is a great time to be on the YouTube video, by the way. OK, the first picture is this really sweet picture of Connor licking the side of my mouth or maybe my tooth. I also know that that's at the den. So this is like-- This is old, the den is since closed. And rebranded. So it won't be open again. Wow, yeah, listen to how much has changed. The den has since closed. Cloted. This didn't include it. The den included. This is Connor and I at the Obsess launch, which is also cloted. This is Connor and I on June 8. I think two years ago-- What? --for in a Polaroid. Oh, yes. Oh, no. This is called Six Out. Is this Six Out of Eight? OK, it could have been on June 8, though. We don't know. It could have been any day. Oh, I like to have ficties. Aw, here's us in Vito. Vito, ooh, I'm going to rewatch that video soon. This is 100K subscribers and a picture that I had put on hinge for a little because I thought I looked really good. And then I thought it was weird to have my YouTube plaque in there. So I took it off. But I still think I look good in there. I should ask. I should try and Photoshop the plaque with something else. Yeah. Like what? I don't know. Oh, my god. Here's Connor as alphaba, even wicked witches need to smoke break exo. I love that. I'm so disgusting sometimes to look at. No, I don't want to hear you say that. That looks like I looked like I was put together with leftover parts, my whole body. Well, you're wearing prosthetics. My like balls are like, I can see them. I cannot see your balls. I'm looking as hard as I can. You don't have to lie. Just look differently. Look at it differently. I'm looking at it in a different way and I still don't see your balls. Oh, this is sweet. This is the polarity of me kissing Connor and the cheek and Connor's eyes rolling back in his head. Let me see. I didn't go with that. Oh, you have different polarities. You got a different polarity, yeah. And then here's me as Glinda. Very pretty. And in this caption, Izzy wrote, "I wish I could write something in invisible ink." I would love to know that. There I see your balls. Is that what you wanted to write in invisible ink? Sure. For sure. Why was I wearing, remember when I used to wear glasses? Wow, so many things have changed. A lot of things have changed. Here's when we got Hashtag soaked at the Grammys. That was fun. I was in a different body there as well. It's fine to be. Connor and a bush, we were doing a merch shoot. We were doing a merch photoshoot. Oh, here's a collage of a makeup chair hates to see you about us coming. Oh my god, that's funny. Oh, when I did the reindeer makeup, there's no more. I've never-- Oh, I missed sleigh reindeer. Sleigh reindeer. What's your favorite look that you've done? Probably Voldemort, honestly. And I really like the count. I love the count and countess. That was great. I loved that. Oh, sunglasses inside. That was sweet. Movement. When we got her iPad and became an iPad baby. Oh, wow, I was really tiny there. I didn't realize that I had blown up again. That's fine. It's OK to flush. It is OK to flush. I wish I would stop. But-- Su Su moments before blasting Neo and picking up her bean dip. I loved that. She had gotten a blood blood sugar. We all get it. This is the Conor and I, Wicked, that he insists he's never seen. It's so weird because I don't know. You see it on a play. And then you see it in a movie and it's just so different. Well said. By the way, I have something to say about that too. I don't want to circle back to that. Oh my gosh. The start of something really pretty long-lived dog jaw, us in Dylan. Oh my god. There's something that has moved into my nose and I think it's alive. Take the nose off. OK. I want you to be comfortable. Yeah, that's smart. Yeah. Oh, that was a day. So dog jaw was that clip that we posted where I was like Dylan touched my jaw and a bunch of people did it after me. But Brook was like, please, please, please. Don't do that to Dylan at Fron. And I got, I'm going to do it. I didn't know that was like a trend. It wasn't until I did it. I didn't know that it had been done before. Yes. I thought you had made it up. We all borrow things from each other. And then of course, I don't get a lot of the things that you do. I know. We have very different. We have algoes. Yeah. It's interesting. It is. In the club, we all fam. Us in Alana. That was so special. Oh, the Marriotchi band. Why are you making a crop shop for the Marriotchi band? Oh, love that shape. It was great about the Marriotchi band. It was like, they were so great inside scoop. They like stuck around. And is he had to be like, that's actually perfect. I'm sure we were like, we'll pay you hourly. And they're like, well, you pay us for an hour, we'll just stick around and keep playing music. And I saw it as you being like, nobody, it's like a podcast. And we need actually like, we can't have background music. What was wrong with me that day? Something severe. Something real. You had like, just gotten off the plane or something or were jet lagged and like sick. Well, I'm sorry. It's fine. I like that. I like that. That noise doesn't bug me at all for sure. Really? That's shocking. I know. It's like, okay. Oh, the very first B&B. You were sweating. You were sweating a lot. No, I know. It was sweating. That's nothing new. You were just like sick. The very first thing. Like me wearing athletic gear. Well, I was wearing like, at leisure to the podcast. That's not a weird thing in a day, was it? I think that's the only time I've ever done that. Much to think about. 200 episodes. That's so one time you've worn that pleasure. There isn't a way. I don't know. And then we had our B&C MAP first live show ever. That was pretty. That was really spot. That was when I realized I could be on stage. So that was really nice. EW! EW! What picture are you saying that too? EW! I don't remember that being so EW. Can you flash me? That says old people. Oh yeah. For some reason I'm more taken by the second photo. It's crazy that like I'm always like I think I have jals and then I see a drawing that someone made of me and I'm like oh I definitely and everybody else sees him too. I'm really upset by me as an old person. I'm upset with someone drawing each of my teeth individuals. I know I'm not going to be an attractive old person. You know. Are you looking at me too and that? You look hotter. Broke. I look like if I looked at you for too long that I would get your soul. No like you genuinely look like you kind of got it going on a little. Is he look at your brown hair? I know. It's so sweet as well. Oh is he. You are too much. That's coming home with.

Are you thinking of Max goes to school by Adrian F. Klein? No. You're thinking of someone's day off? Ferris. He's also a real part. It's Matthew Broderick. Yeah I know. I'm talking about like her cousin to circle back in her cousin looked like a cartoon. I don't know how to explain it. But Ferris Puehler's also not a cartoon. He looked like a character in a movie. I should say that. Okay. You know what I mean is he? I do. He's very cartoonish. And anyway as I'm talking to him and he's like do you know he called you Isabel? Do you know Isabel? And I was like not. No. What the fuck? And I was like who's this cartoon guy talking to me about Isabel? I was like I don't know what Isabel. And then he goes is he's last name and I go what yes I know her and I start talking about is he to him and he finally was like okay like. I don't know where that well. He was like okay she's like my cousin like I'm not we're not like. And I was like okay well let me know if you need to know anything else about is he? I feel like I've had so many cousins come up to you in the wild that are just like. God I know I thought I had cousins you guys have cousins. Like there's like it's like it's like a clown car broke like the amount of people that know broke it's like they're just getting out of the car. They are everywhere and they're all tall and short and then there's just one that's quick and there's one that's slow and there's one that's kind of slimy and then there's one that's. But like some of them it's like cousin is a reach you know and it's like. I don't have anyone like that. I don't have anyone that I call my cousin that isn't my blood. No but like they are blood but like fourth ones are moved you know. Like I've seen them once. That's okay. But they'll be like hey miss you just talk to Connor and it's like there wasn't any for that but thank you. Just talk to Connor. Oh that's special. Yeah. Wait they have your phone number? I guess. Or like DM. Oh yeah. I've heard of it. Yeah. Do you know that shit? Yeah. Oh damn we got confetti all in the strawberries. I do want a strawberry. You can have one. That's legal. I'm tired. Like. Oh you can do it. Girl's can do anything. Oh I have a present for you. For me? Yeah. Oh my gosh. Yeah sir. Let's go physically. What? Physiology. Reaching and stuff. My nose. Oh my god. Oh my god. Okay I wanted to get them for everyone here but I don't have too many. So I'm trying to get more. But I do have PDFs for whoever this helps. But that is like a that's like a book is cool. Which is killing me. Like look through it. There's like it's like where there's like words on the page and shit. Like oh my god. Oh I'm so excited. That not a book. Wow. It's a book. Here could all say about the arc for anybody that has one. If you want the good reads contest. It's not I don't I know I don't need to clarify this. Everyone's telling me this but it's really stressing me out and I'm losing sleep over it. It's not 100% perfect. There's some paragraphs that I've changed. There's two typos that I'm aware of. And it is stressing me out that people will perceive that. But it is not perfect yet. But it is a book and it's almost done. And that is what that is. Thank you. Knock on book. It smells like a book. Oh my god. It smells like the book. The pink is much more vibrant in real life which I'm obsessed with. Oh my god. You know what? It's so weird. Like I didn't want to say this out. Actually, it's like so. It's such like a knot. Not not timer places. I do want to eat one of the pages. Like I kind of like. You know what I mean? Like it like it's that smells making me want to eat the pay a page. And maybe eat there's a blank page at the end where the acknowledgments are going to go. Should I eat the page in the bonus? Not maybe not. Let's think about it. Let's try to sometimes thinking about it. And then if you've thought about it for a little and still want to eat a little bit of it, maybe eat a little bit of the page. I mean, you can eat paper. We've spoken about this. I know. Yeah. That's one of those things that we don't have to relook up. I remember. You want to eat a page of Phoebe Behrman's going to lose it on camera. Okay. Hey, what do I care? This too shall pass. Agreed. I want a tattoo that says borrow the moonlight. That makes sense. Um, walk me through that. Walk me through that. Well, it's a lyric in as long as your mind. But I didn't realize it was a lyric until I was listening to the stripped acoustic version of just Jonathan Bailey's part. Oh. And I thought the lyric with this whole time was ooh, the moonlight. But I love borrow the moonlight. So I want to get. But what does it it doesn't mean? What does it mean? It's just like we're going to like take from the night for our like moment, you know? Like, let's seize the moment. Kind of like the body is a moment to steal the moon. Kind of, I think. Yeah. For this moment, just for this moment, steal the moonlight. Let's steal the moon. I'm not going to get it because like I know that that's not like great. But I do want it. That's fine. I have right place, right time and essentially like a Disney font for some reason. So don't worry about it. At least it's just for it. Yeah, I do. It's on my feet. Right. I forgot about that. Oh, God, it's been so it's been 200 episodes of us sitting here in the Kelly Clarkson's. The fact that we and every now and then we have a we have a heavier lift of days that we don't have like a we push we really push ourselves to get to because we don't necessarily cover topics really in any way, shape or form. So there's not as there's not really any guidelines to take us. No one's holding our hand and getting us to the finish line of each episode. The way that we do that is actually pretty right in the book. Yeah, it is. Well, I wouldn't know. It's just like creating getting from point A to point Z. Yeah. In different ways. I know, but it's just like crazy that we do that. Yeah. Stealing from the moonlight in a way. Borrowing from the moon like that's yeah, that's really pretty, isn't it? Borrowing from the moonlight. I'm trying to like think of any way to even respond to that because there's no reason to borrow for it. It's free. It's not even. Well, usually people are asleep at night. So I feel like they're having this like very like we're up late. We're being bad. Yeah, we're being bad moment. Let's be bad. Let's go at it. She's being wicked. Okay. Yeah. Well, is that in the wicked movie? Yeah, I remember at the end, she's like, I for the first time, I feel wicked. Mm hmm. Anyway, it doesn't matter. It's just something that it's just a new line for me from one of my favorite songs that I've been listening to for 10 plus years. So it's really exciting that you can always find new things. You're not looking at things. You're not lying. You're just looking at things differently. Exactly. I have some shit I need to. I would talk about heated rivalry all day if I could. but my gay hockey show. - I don't know enough about he did rivalry. Why does he it like? - Okay, I just learned English. - Connor, it's so awesome. - Hi to Robertly, is it awesome? - It is completely fabulous. - That's great. - Yeah. - I've seen a lot of fanfare. - Yeah, and now I'm reading the book. - How come? - Have you ever thought for one second how dumb it is that I haven't been reading gay hockey around my aunt's this whole time? - It does make sense for you. - I'm like, what a, I've been wasting my life until this point. - I wanna know how they found these two young men that I've never heard of before, and now they're like, a list. - They were at high tops West Hollywood last night, which is my local gay bar, and I missed 'em. - That's where you need to be out at night. - That's where you need to be barring for the good light. - It's fun watching them explode on Instagram because they're growing at the exact same rate. Like they both have the exact same amount of followers at any given time, 'cause they're being followed like as a unit, which is really beautiful. Like not one is like the star over the other. They're both fabulous. - Joe, I just didn't know who they were at all until that's, must be such a cool. - Holander. - That's my new. - Holander. - That's my new tech, holander. - Holander? - Holander. - I'm sick too. It's, I'm saying holander in a Russian accent. - Oh, it's an accent. - Yeah, that's kind of what they say to each other during sex. So he says holander, which is his last name. And then holander. - Holander says fuck off. - Oh, that's beautiful. - Oh yeah, they're definitely barring for the good light in the bedroom. - I love them so much. - That's so great. - Thank you, I've seen the first two episodes four times each. And the third one is actually about two different characters. Who I don't care for as much, because it's very like insta-love. Like one of them walks into a smoothie shop and is like, I have to have you. Please make my smoothies every day, which is less like enemies to lovers, which is what Shane and Nelly are, which I really prefer. They're so goofy and silly. And it's just really amazing, 'cause most gay things are like very sad and end with like someone dying usually. But this is just like fun gay shit. - How fun? - Yeah. - How gay. - How fun and gay. - Good for them this year. - Yeah, they're having a blast. - Oh, how great. - I love these boys. - Were they in stuff before this? - Yes, but not anything that we would know. I think Connor, story, the one who plays Ilya, him not being Russian for his most insane thing in the world, 'cause his Russian accent is like a part of his DNA. To me, but he's not Russian. He was in something for sure. He was in Joker. - The actual-- - Paulia do. - Oh, that was like that. - That's when I went to the gay viewing. - Oh yeah. - And remember him in that. - I think that that was like really bad, right? The movie. - Pretty yeah. But I didn't say that at the time, 'cause it was just honor to be there. It was really horrible, thank you. - Well, I'm sure he'll be in a lot more stuff now. - What a fun, what a fun-- - What a fun sin. Hudson is my, is my number one. - What a fun ride that must be to be like, all right, I'm in this thing, you go, for you to be like, they're growing at a rate that you're able to actually see them growing on Instagram, that's so cool. - I mean, they are just like young and fun and hot and doing the damn thing. - Oh, this young man was in a show called Chad G-P-T. I'm sure that's really good. - Wait, I'm craving watching Chad G-P-T. - Let's click on Chad G-P-T. Let's after ordering the world's first AI-powered humanoid chatbot, Mike's life gets turned upside down. Sounds good. - He's adorable. And you know what, I'm making the conscious decision not to look up how old the two of them are, 'cause it only hurts. - They look young. - It only hurts. - Yeah, no, that sucks. Oh, you're talking in that way. - No, I'm talking about like, just like, there are so many people that are younger than me. - No, it makes, it's actually getting to the point when people are like, these 32-year-olds are playing high schoolers, I'm like, "Good!" At least they're like-- - But at least old, you know, I don't wanna see like, something really talented 21-year-old actor. - These boys are my freaking family, holendir. - Holendir. - Holendir, fuck off. I love that shit. - Oh, that's so you. - Yeah. - We should do that to each other here. - Holendir. - You can be holendir, I'll be fuck off. - Okay, but be hot. I think you should watch it just to like, kind of be where I am. - Oh my God, I'm so excited next week. They're like having like, these girlfriends. - I wish you would call me that. - And they're gonna be so jealous. - This is one of those things where like, this is one of those typical shits that everyone starts watching. And I didn't even know it came out. And now I'm, how many episodes behind? - Just three. - Now I'm three episodes behind. How long do the episodes? - Like 40, you will be so fine. Okay. - If I've watched them each 8,000 times. - Holendir. - Fuck off. (laughing) - Well, I just got big pass out vibes. - Really? - Yeah. - Sorry. - I'm sick. - No, it doesn't bother me. (laughing) - Maybe I should be holendir. - Fuck off. - I love, I love them. - Nobody does. - They're so gorgeous inside and out. - It's my daughter. - What? - I just read Hudson Williams is known for tracker. Nobody dumps my daughter in allegiance and chat GPT. - Just, okay, will you, is he, would you mind looking up how all this Hudson Williams? - 23, do you think? - 25. - 24. - Okay. - Oh wow. - How about Connor Story? - Born in 2001, by the way. That's awesome. - That's fabulous. My thing is like-- - Do you like, was that big? - It's $9.11. - And Connor Story, my thing I've decided with dating is that, bonus. - If I, okay, yeah. No, I, if I have a, not dating, having crushes. 'Cause I don't think I would really like date anyone under 27 unless it was extenuating circumstances. But I can have a crush on someone as long as they were alive during 9/11. - The 9/11 cutoff is pretty key. - Yeah, I feel like that's fine. - But the thing is like, being born after 9/11, they're like, yeah, I heard of it. - That's history, didn't I? - You know what I mean? - Ancient history. - No, it's like, yeah, that, I guess that happened. I'm trying to think of something that like, we missed that like is like, like that, like, I'm trying to think of, who's like older than us, like no one's older than us. - No one here. - My parents, like I'm sure, no, but someone like in between, like an older millennial, I wanna know like, what their thing is that they're like, oh, you don't, you weren't around for, I guess we were like around, we weren't around for like, Vietnam, like, I don't even know what else, what else big things happened? - Like, Kennedy assassination was a big one, Martin Luther King, so we're right to move forward. - Yeah, but like, 9/11 was like, they flew two planes into the world trade chain, that's like crazy. I think that that started happening during art, like during, like right at the beginning of us, where like terrorism, I guess terrorism was like, oh, Loki always. Nah, let's not talk about terrorism today. - Today. - Let's talk about movies again. - Okay. - Let's talk about gay hockey. I don't wanna do the terrorism right now. - I love gay hockey. - Also, guess what, I know shit about hockey now. There's three periods per game. They reach 20 minutes. - Wow. - And the leagues are divided by like geography. - Yeah, most leagues are. - Okay. - That's like normal. - I didn't, well I didn't know that. - Like a conference, like a league. - Well, no, I'm sorry, I mean like Canada can be in the same league as like the US. 'Cause it's like, like North, the North is together. - Right, well. - But that's not the case with like football, you don't have any Canadian teams in the NFL, do we? - I don't actually know, but I know that like, when I was in Toronto for-- - Because obviously you know, Hollander is in the, on the Canadian team, in LA, a place for Boston. But they're in the same league. 'Cause they're heated rivals. - Well, the Toronto Blue Jays are a baseball team and we play Toronto, Toronto Blue Jays are such an American team to me that when we went there, I was like, oh my god, how cool did they get to go overseas? Toronto's closer to the United States than like, we are right now. And they were playing, but I didn't like connect those dots. Anytime we go leave the United States, I'm like, I need to be speaking Italian straight up. I'll be in Mexico or Canada and I'll be like, oh, oh, ciao. And they're like, we are in Seattle, basically. - Yeah. - Do you have that? - I don't think so. - I think it's because like, I don't want any, I want anywhere I go, I want people to think that I live there too. Hello? - Yeah, wherever you are, you take yourself with you. Sorry, I think my Nike will just hit in like a, like pretty-- - You should have given me some. We should have been both. - Massive way. - In my Nike will, I mean day-quil. - Oh, day-quil won't hit you like that, girl. - I think it will. - No. - Jack. - What are you peeling? - Some of the graffiti that I shot into my system. - Mine is gonna be, I'm gonna be doing it with us for days. - I want to be holender. - Fuck off, I wanna be holender. - Okay, be holender then. It's just a vocal tick you can say whenever you want. - Okay. - Talking about holender? - Fuck off. Wait, I have something to say. - Okay. - So I flew in last night. - Yay! - Yeah. I actually have like important stuff to talk to you about. - Oh, I'd love to hear. - It's not like interesting or anything? - Okay, it doesn't need to be. - No, it never, what is it ever? - Rarely. - So I'm on the plane, right? And I'm, first of all, I'm on the plane. I'm trying to find a movie 'cause it was like, show movie vibes last night. [BLANK_AUDIO] glass of wine. - We're in first class, Connor. - Yes! - Wow! - Because of extenuating circumstances. A third party, a third party paid for my upgrade. - Wow, big shot. - Yeah, and it was like really cool. I never do that. I never do that, I'd rather-- - Your line. - Jet blue. - Holy shit, you were in mint? - I was, my shiny teeth and me were in it. - That would be my dream collaboration. - Well, you know what, it didn't really help because like-- - Good jet blue mint, I love mint. I love laying down. - I was really-- - That's what's at the core of it. - This dude next to me went to sleep right away and all I could think about was like, when was the last time I peed? I'm gonna have to pee, I'm gonna have to step over him. I didn't want to drink any water even though so there's because I was like, then that's just gonna make me have to pee sooner. And then I was like, but I really want the wine vibe and like to be like cozy and stuff. And then I couldn't figure out my air thing so I was just like sitting there actually dripping sweat. My bladder's about to explode. I'm like, maybe I should just go to sleep. And then my legs kept both falling asleep. It was just like really stressful. I'm gonna sit in the back next time. But I was trying to watch a movie and then get this. Didn't know that there was a remote for the TV. So I'm laying flat bed with my feet out in front of me trying to scroll on the TV. My legs are shaking and the guy in front of me kept turning because I think it was pushing so hard on the screen that it was like moving his head. - Not everyone's made for Jet Blue Man. - I'm not and that's okay. And it was like too short of a flight for me to actually go to sleep. It's like five and a half hours. - That's not too short, baby. - Well, when you're stressing out about your like, it might, why am I too hot? I kind of have to pee, should I step over him? But what if he wakes up and I'm like mounting him? He's like laying flat. And I'm like, I'm like in the hockey match with these boys. - There's much harder with people when they went out and meant. - Oh, it's really hard. I was like, can I leap? Can I make the leap if I jump? Anyways, so I started watching a movie. I started looking for a movie. Every movie right now on planes is like holiday themed and it's like newer ones, like new releases holiday themed. We talk all the time about how hard romcoms have been hit as of late because they're like 3D printing these scripts or it must be AI or something, and then they're picking these like actors and they're like just, I don't even know how to explain it. How upset I am about the current state of romcoms. But like, you know who else really got hit hard? - Who? - Christmas movies, holiday movies. - Yeah. - And they are, they are a little bit supposed to be a little kitschy. You know, the hallmark movies. - But not like for Christmas's. What happened to for Christmas's? Bramp, like. - It's because they're also like romcoms too. - Yeah. - So it's just like the whole kit and caboodle. - But like. - Imagine how much worse it's gonna be now with all this movie monopoly shit. - No, but like, I would even take like a Jason to take this. - Yeah, we all would. - Jennifer Aniston. - We all would take that. - Yeah, not even romcom just like, or like a family vacation or like Christmas to the cranks. - Yeah. - Bring back like the hallmark. - And then they end up realizing it's just all about family instead. - Yeah. - Like you don't have to reinvent the wheel. This is one thing where I'm saying don't reinvent the wheel. Could if you want to. God knows we could use it. - I'm just like confused how we had such a like, understanding and mastery of the romcom and which is everyone all at once lost it. - No, genuinely. - Like there has to be one person who still works in the industry that knows how to do what used to be done. - Judd Apatow. - Has he done it recently? - No, he's probably like all wait until the people really need me. Judd, the people really need you. - Please, Judd. - We really need a romcom. - What last thing Judd did? - I think he's working on something now. It was his birthday. Happy birthday, Judd. - Happy birthday. - You deserve the world. - Recent feet of the king of Staten Island. - I don't remember that too too well. - It was Pete Davidson and I heard. - Yeah, I did see it. Okay, we'll come back Judd. Please, we need you, baby. - We need you. - Anyway. - But Christmas movies themselves, I love a Christmas movie romcom, but there are a ton that are just like, it's like family is the daughter gonna make it home. Okay, she brought home like a boyfriend from her study abroad trip. She made it home from Spain, but she's got a good boyfriend from Spain, uh-oh. - You know what was like that recently that wasn't like good, but it was good. - Huh. - The holiday with Emma Roberts, but that was like 2020. - Every now and then we find our spark and then so quickly as soon as we found it, we've we've lost it as well. Oh, I see like this doesn't, that doesn't look like a poster that would like it. - I don't remember being good, but I remember giving me the feeling. Does that make sense? - Yeah. - I don't need you to wipe your nose with your face. - Oh, it's like, 'cause it's like made out of something like some kind of material. - It's talking it on. - But it's perfect because it hits like, what's itchy? 'Cause it kind of goes into all the crefks. Fuck off. - On there? - Oh my God. No. I was like, what are you doing to me, nose? Now there's also, fuck. I had such a good thing to say. Come on. What is his name? What's your name? - You don't talk about something else? - No, no, no. I have something else I need to say. God, why do I keep bringing it to a Russian accent? - Because of Holmther. - Holmther. - Okay. One thing I have to say that's like, I think pretty important that I don't totally understand. So maybe this is like the learning moment of the day. - Yeah. - The merger that's happening with like Warner Brothers and Netflix, like Netflix bot Warner Brothers, which includes HBO. - I don't think it went through all the way yet. I think it's still in the world. - Here's the thing. I hear something like that and I go, "Uh oh, that's bad." And if someone goes, "Why?" I go, "Well." - I actually know the answer. - Well, I just wanna say really quickly. There's this thing that I kind of build my life around. It's called the Caleb here in Litmus test. - Connor, I feel the same exact way. - And it's like any time I'm like, this, I don't know if this is good or bad. I just check Caleb here in the Instagram stories and he says it's bad. - It doesn't matter. - He says it's bad. - Period. - That's great for everybody, probably. - I literally, this is what they mean by trust the experts. To me, I believe in trusting the experts. I believe that most people probably know more than me. And by most, I mean all. And especially Caleb, I think he's like one of the smartest people that I've ever met. And so trust the experts. - And by the way, that's a free. - Inform yourself of course, sure. But when you're like, I don't really know, I don't then let's ask Caleb. - I think also, it's a free resource for everybody. Everyone can use the Caleb here in Litmus test. It's usually on his story about every day. He's so good. So I think, yeah, trust the expert. - Ask the experts. - I really care for the guy. - Oh, and me too. - Anyway, moral of the story with the Netflix things that monopolies are bad. Which I also thought there were laws against that. So I'm not sure how this is even possible. - I don't think it's trumpy. - I'm sure it has something to do with that. There was like a larger thing at play too, where it was like, there's something to do with AI and data. But like everything has to do with, I got a bagel this morning and I'm sure that AI and data had something to do with my bagel. But I think that there's something to do with these large, there's holding companies for all of these entertainment companies. And they're like, these scary, big, evil, like Wizard of Oz type people where you don't know their name at all, but they low-key own the entire United States. - Oh. - And they now keep acquiring. They have sub companies who acquire other companies and that ends up all funneling up to this big data company that owns everything. And so apparently now they're in talks as well for like to buy the majority of the TikTok sale, which would mean that they can tailor your algorithm to serve you content that like fits your needs, I guess, but I can't remember what the evil part was. - I just think also like the quality of things is gonna like really hit your head. - Oh, the quality of things is gone. - Yeah, I just like create a freedom and and everything like that, it's going to be horrible. I love it. - Yeah, I think it was Ted Miranda who said like my son watched some insane like IMAX level movie on his phone and he loved it. And that's kind of deeply upsetting 'cause after seeing Wicked in the movie theater, like I can't imagine watching that on my phone. Also I can't imagine not having access to my phone and watching a 90 minute movie, not gonna happen to show up. I'm gonna have to get a second phone. - And the movies that are in theaters are gonna be there for like three days so they can get to streaming faster. - That's what it was. - Yeah. - Someone else, we do, like and it's this thing where it's like now that you're telling me that you're not gonna put the movies in theaters, now I wanna go. I haven't been to the movies in years but like it was a really fun experience. - It is really fun. - Oh, and there's like an nostalgia thing about going to the movies and smelling the popcorn. - Of course. - And then seeing the guy smoking crack in the bathroom. That's fun. - There should be good about it. - Um, the other thing that I was gonna say earlier when I was talking about Christopher Movies, you know how like, do you know how that, do you know that feeling of when it's randomly December 10th for some reason? And it doesn't feel like Christmas at all and then I was thinking about like, it doesn't felt like Christmas in December in like 10 years. - What about New York? - Yeah, but it doesn't feel like December 10th. Like it's it's two weeks. - Christmas is randomly in two weeks. - No. And it is cool 'cause like they do, they're like, they make you very aware 'cause like everyone's decorating their stoop and they put, they make all the little parks. They put Christmas trees up and stuff and it's cold. But it's not snowing. I feel like, and it's 80 degrees in L.A. right now. I just came in here and I went out this morning and my hugs. - Yeah, I mean, it doesn't feel like Christmas here. That's for darn doing it. - No, and my hugs again, I have to throw them away. I sweat so much and then there's, shoked. Fugs are up real. They're fugs, of course. I'm not. Unless a hug's reached out, reaches out. And you'll know if they reach out because I'll be wearing hugs. I'm not going to buy hugs. I'm buying my fugs. I like my fugs. I know. It's fine to be f-fug-lessa. I'm f-glycy. It's fine to be. I'm spicy f-glycy. Fuck off. Do you know what you're doing for Christmas? Yeah, what are you going to do with the cats? I don't know. Again, I want to remind you it's in two weeks, and you'll probably leave before that. So you probably have one week to figure that out. No, I'm not leaving for two weeks. No, it's Christmas is in two weeks. I know, but I'm not, I'm Jewish, so I don't need to be home for Christmas. Oh, my God. Every time you tell me you're Jewish and you're Christmas, I'm like, but I know you're Jewish. Yeah. So I'm going home a little bit later. I have a few people in the running for the cats. I'm very worried about Jonathan, who just like if the doors open, he will find a way out of it. So I need to get him an air tag collar even though he doesn't go past the like plants in the front. He just likes the plants, but I do, I'm just worried about someone that's not me. There's better ones in air tags. Really? They're like called chippo or something. Oh, chippo. I need to get him a chippo. I got a chippo for my keys, and it like, there's something about it that's better than air tags, because air tags only work within like a certain distance, and this one like will work for it. Like I could check right now if my keys are at my house in New York. I wish I could build him a patio. Hmm. You can put him in your car. I need to bring him a cat's patio. Yeah, you can do that. Yeah. He's been hissing at me when I'm sure to bring him back inside. He's born for the outside. He was. That's what was my neighbors in New York all have outdoor cats. I can't put a leash on him anymore. Let me do. I saw a woman with three cats on a leash today. Oh, by my hotel. It's so cute. I wish I could leash them up. I'm also scared to take Rob outside, because he says we couldn't immune system. Do you do his feline aids? I don't forget that. Yeah. You haven't talked into the mic in a while. I'm talking right into it. You being sick is like making me feel sick. I wonder if you got me sick. Oh, I'm sorry. No, it's just like looking at a sick person. You don't look sick. You're acting sick. Oh, sorry. It's okay. But stop. I'm sorry. No, it's okay. I went back and watched our clips from like three, four weeks ago, and I have been sick for like three, four weeks. I just am the worst sick person. Sikling coughing, two-hand flu. I have it. I'm the worst sick person. You know what someone called me the other day? Online. Chud. I can't get it out of my head. Does everyone in the room know what chud means? No. Can we look up chud? And I actually, is he, will you read it first and tell me if I should even read it, or if it's going to change the trajectory of the rest of the episode? Maybe they meant chum. Well, let's try to guess what it is. I'm thinking like chum, like good old chum. No, it was like in a rude way. It was like this, this, not this chud. Have an opinion. This chud's got an opinion on some. It feels really joker like this, not this, like this clown. Yeah. I'm not a clown. I don't think, is he's face telling me? Oh, it's not good. I don't want to see it. You know, I don't want to read it. Oh my god. Can I read it? Can you close your eyes? Yeah. I'm just going to guess what I mean. Like it was like chopped, uh, chopped. It's not true. Oh God. We have to delete that whole thing. No, it's fine. A derogatory term for unpleasant right wingers. Yeah. It's fine. It's not true. So it's fine. And this, this girl said, I'm left wings, but I call myself chud at as a joke. Oh my god. That's so you. Yeah. You're a chud hat. Yeah. I said, joke. Yeah. So it's fine. And then someone said, why if your left wing doesn't even apply to you, I don't know. Honestly, it's just funny to do because I'm the opposite of I'm pleasant right winger. Exactly. Totally. And someone said, I call myself an alpha and I am an alpha. Agreed. Roll under. Hollander. McDollander. Are we unread it? I want you to hear him say Hollander. Hollander. I've never even heard it. Cannibalist. So it's so great that our 200th episode is like the most segmented no make sense. It's, it's a no make sense, sir. We deserve a little bit of a dumb ass episode, I guess. And I said I was sick. Well, I don't know any any cast member of this project. They're all new unlocks. I want to hear him moaning Hollander. Oh. It's fine to say. It's fine to request. Okay, Chudette. Oh, hell yes, it's an edit. No chance at all. This is more of just like a thirst drop up Hollander, which I appreciate a lot. He's a great guy. He's more of like a shot. He does look a little bit like Hiana Reeves. Hiana Reeves. That name? No, I'm never going to say it right. That's fine. Kiana. What did you say it for? Kiana Reeves. Kiana Reeves. Kiana Reeves. Kino speaker. I can just actually just go into my DMs with Tristan. I mean, Tristan, we were watching it during Thanksgiving. And there's kind of like a not good like it's kind of filmed like very dimly lit. It's dark. So Tristan and I couldn't see it well enough. So we also pulled out the laptop. So we were watching on the TV and his laptop too and just from our face at the same time. Just to make sure we really got every detail of the show Connor. Yeah. I think while you're pulling that up, I do want to address at the time. Oh, I met Mr. Fantasy. Hello. How did you not how did you see me and not think, oh my God, I met Mr. Fantasy. Because it feels like a dream. I saw every angle of you. Talk about you interested in watching different angles of that show. I saw every angle of you touching every square inch of Mr. Fantasy's body. How lucky am I to have not only met Mr. Fantasy, but to have that interaction film from every angle. That was an instant love connection. It seemed like you knew you. I don't think so. But basically what happened was I was in a rant. That's like an unbelievable photo. I was in a rancid mood. I wish I could like these nights when you're acting like this. I would pay. I would do the red eye if I knew that you were going to be out like that. You need to tell me when you're like feeling in this way. No, I wasn't. I was in a horrible mood. Really like a very Debbie Downer. And I was about to Irish exit. We were at this like holiday event. And I said, no, don't, yeah, it was chain. And I was like, no, don't go. Give it a second. You know, I'm humoring it for a second because I like the attention, but I was planning on leaving in just a few moments. As I'm standing to walk out, Tristan turns to me. He goes, there's no way. I say, what? I see the sparkle of Mr. Fantasy's body suit. And we're right at the entrance. So we're the first ones to get him. And we're both jumping up and down, screaming. And he's doing the exact same thing because he not only matches your energy, but exceeds your energy. He makes you feel like the only person in the room. And the only person in the world that being said, Tristan did get to him first. And so I obviously, if you've seen the footage, just stood there jumping and with my arms out, like a little baby waiting to be picked up. I'm Mr. Fantasy. And then eventually, Mr. Fantasy did turn around. And Emilo, a hug. I did think we were going to kiss. Did you see that? He like cupped my cheek in a way. You see that? Look at that. Oh, my God. You were ready for it. I was about to lean in. Yeah. I saw every angle of this. Yeah. I got a hold of that. Kayla. God bless Kayla. Yes, she made it. Not only she made an edit. And Mr. Fantasy commented on this edit was like, I love you thinking that I made the edit, which is fine. It's and for some reason Mr. Fantasy's comment is hidden, which I don't love. But yeah, I thought we were about to kiss. Anyway, he said he loved me too. And you know, we were jumping around together, which was amazing. And then I told him I was him for Halloween. And I don't think he heard me because he said I was in Ireland for Halloween, I think. Oh. And they said, no, I was, I would dress as you. And then he said, oh, maybe he meant I was an Ireland. Maybe he was, maybe he was Ireland Baldwin. And then he told Tristan just to be exactly who he was. And then he commented on all of Tristan's old Instagrams. I'm watching you. That's awesome, which is I'm so jealous of. I feel like he's closer with Tristan than me for now. Well, that's not true. Tristan always gets so close with people. Tristan finds a way. He finds he's so he's just that guy. That's how Tristan was with Olivia Jade when we met. Yeah. Olivia Jade's hand feeding him a cheeseburger. Like, did you do this? No, each other. He's like, no, just matter. It really is remarkable. What Tristan can do. But I do feel like Mr. Fantasy. And I like really hit it off. And it was awesome. And I never felt like I felt so myself with him because he just brings that out of you. Like usually with other celebrities, I would be like more reserved, more reserved, too scared to be jumping up and down saying how much I love you. But he just, but he brought out the best in me. Yeah. So and then I was in a good mood. Yeah, that'll happen. And I stayed and then I left once Mr. Fantasy left. Sure. Because then what's the point?
