Jan from Toyota here. At Toyota's National Sales Event, there's still time to squeeze more fun out of summer, with a new Camry, Raphor, Corolla, and more. So go on! Squeeze your extended family into a Highlander for a family reunion. - Everybody in? - Tammy, Teddy, Todie, Tommy, Toby, Terry, wait, where's Rex? Or stop for some fresh squeezed lemonade in a Prius. - Ooh, how much? - $15 bucks. Okay, now that's a squeeze. - Do you learn Midway Mayberry, so you're participating Toyota dealer for details, then in September 3rd. Toyota, let's go places. - Izzy, I'm scared. - Is he always pulls out these ridiculous surprises from her sleeve? - Okay, I'm looking at Izzy's newest surprise. - Okay, wait, should we intro first? - Okay, I mean, we've never done that before, but sure, go ahead and start it today. - I don't want to step on your toes. - No, go ahead and intro it all. - And your platform wedges, I would never want to step on your toes and those. - It's amazing how when, like, I know we start recording, I suddenly become so annoying. - Hey, God! No, but me too, because I slowed down, we just talked for so long, and it was a natural flowing conversation, and then we get on, and it's like, I don't want to step on your platform toes. - It's like, what are you talking about? - Literally talking normally offline. - We just chatted. - I'm starting to piss myself off. - Oh my God, I'm pissing myself off. - Yeah, okay, go ahead and-- - Well, you're not pissing me off, which is good. - You're not pissing me off. - Okay. - I guess it all kind of cancels out. - It's all a wash. - Hey, gosh, call it a wash. - Call it a wash. - Call it a toss up. [music] - Hey, guys, welcome back to "Brick and Connor Make a Podcast." - Period. - Go ahead. - Okay, if you got us a surprise. - So if you got us a surprise. - I'm holding it right now. It's looking like a t-shirt, but it could also be a different form of fabric. - She kind of walked up and just dumped sack on the table and walked away. - I don't really-- - Oh. - What is it? - My God. - Oh, that's special, okay. - It's a Jack Schlossberg tea. - It says-- - One-of-one. - One-of-one, did you make it? - Rachel helped me, but yeah. - That's amazing. - Oh, my God. - He's kind of taken to ride. - He literally does. - It's incredible. - Oh, my God. Izzy, I love it. Thank you. I'm going to wear it every day. - Oh, that's really special. - I hope he hasn't accessed this podcast. - He has been busy. - Yeah. My friends, mom, saw him yesterday in Philadelphia at the Kamala ride. - That's special, too. - Yeah. - That's like seeing-- you know what? It's like seeing-- it's like going to yellowstone and seeing an animal that you would expect to be there, but like-- - But it's so incredible. - It's just right here by your car. - Yeah. - You know? - Oh, my God, Izzy, I love my Jack-S piece. Thank you so much, my love. - That's cute. - I love him so much. It's become a little bit debilitating as of late, but I don't want to talk about it because it could get back to him. - Like, easily. I'm sure it probably kind of has. [laughter] We were in yellowstone one time when I was younger. Me and my sister used to get in big fights, and my dad wanted to have this really special trip to yellowstone. So he rented a convertible. It's like freezing cold in yellowstone. I don't know if anyone tells you that. - It never been. - And also the weather's pretty unpredictable in yellowstone. It was like 50-- late, late 50 degrees, and it was in the late 50s. And he's like, "No, we got a convertible. We're putting the top down." And so we're riding through yellowstone. No one-- everyone's mad at each other. We're all shivering. It's like starting to rain. And then me and my sister get in a fight, whatever. And we had to pull over because my sister was hitting me so hard. And then she punched me square in the nose. And then we looked and my nose starts bleeding. And we looked at the left and we thought everyone had pulled over because there was a wolf or a bear. And it had pulled over to watch me and my sister beat the crap out of my face. - Oh, wow. - Yeah. They were all looking into our convertible. - I'm loving the thought of the convertible. - The convertible was top down. - It's also crazy to have the idea. "Oh, my God, we're going yellowstone. Let's get the convertible." - It was like a weird comma, you know? It's usually you go, "We're going to Hawaii. We'll get the convertible." Yeah, let's go to the place known for wild animals outside. And let's take the top off. - With a chill to the air, too. - Let's send a partiful e-vite out to all the bears to kind of hop into our car that we were road tripping on full of beef jerky. - That's great. - Yeah. - Speaking of, oh, I had such a good transition. - That's okay, let it come. - Oh, I think it was speaking of Jack Schlossberg, but we've moved on. But I can totally flip it. Speaking of wild animals. - Did you see the thing with RFK and the bear? Awesome transition. - Yeah. - I missed whatever original joke happened where now everyone's like, "It's a picture of RFK Jr. and he's like, "So anyways, then me and my friends killed ET with a hammer." And I'm not figuring out-- - What? - That's what I'm saying. I missed the original joke. What was the thing with the bear? - Oh, it's not even a joke. It's something that he really did and came out and told the story of it so that he could get ahead of a story that was actually going to come out about it. - What happened with the bear? - He killed-- or he found a roadkill bear somewhere and then was like, "Oh my God, I need it now." - So far I'm aligning with the story. - Scooped it up off of the road and then went about his day. Also, I could be getting this wrong, but this is my understanding. As of reading it a few days ago, I'm probably forgetting some key details. But then he kept it in his car for a little bit too long. I think longer than you would want a dead bear carcass in your car. And then was like, "I don't want it anymore." And then dumped it in Central Park. - It was a bear cub. - Okay. - Yeah, I did see that line now that I'm thinking. - Yeah, but it's like crazy to cause panic in that way to be like, "Why is there a bear in Central Park?" - Oh. - You know, that's not typical. - Not at all. - Yeah. - So it became from upstate New York, dump sack. - Yes. - And to Central Park. - Yes. - And then dipped? - Dipped. And so it was like a big story. Get this. That his, what is Jack to him, his cousin or nephew? - I think you're nephew. - It's like, or is it one of those cousin nephew type of things? - I think it's nephew. - I think it's cousin nephew. But anyway, Jack's sister actually covered that new story without knowing that it was RFK that dumped sack. - Really? - Yeah. - Wow. - Yeah. - I'm like consumed by like Kennedy. - They have a lot of lore. - Lore now. - Yeah. - Yeah. And did you know that there's actually, when I was begging last week for a movie, a good movie about JFK, there is one starring Zac Efron apparently. Not as JFK, but as the doctor that tried to save him. - Really? Okay. - That's my understanding, Connor. - That's good. That would be good. - Yeah, Parkland. - Zac Efron to recover first from hitting the bottom of the pool. - He's totally fine. - Okay. - Yeah, he's totally fine. He let us know. - It's just, you can take a break. - He, I just, we need like a protective bubble around him. He's, he's clots. - He is. He's so crazy. He can't, he lit it again. - Did you hear what actually happened? - He just opened to the shallow end of a pool, right? - And got too much water in his, in his throat and mouth? - Because he hit the bottom of the pool. - That doesn't, what, what is it about hitting the bottom of the pool? That puts water in your throat. - Like he probably passed out for a second. - Did he tap out the bottom of the pool? - Yeah, probably. - Mm. - He's fine now. - Yeah. - He was, he was lifting the pool. - Oh my gosh. Could you imagine if Zac, Zac Efron died via diving into the shallow, that would be humiliating. - No. - Do not say that here. - Sorry. No, I'm, no, it's already lightning doesn't strike twice. Zac. - I feel like it could with Zac. - Zac has learned his lesson. I feel like Zac is someone who, Zac, no, no running next to the pool. It's slippery. - He needs to be careful. - No, he needs to die in a valiant way. Like he needs to literally fight off a bear in Central Park. - Well, he's always. - And lose. - You know, like when he was filming his Australia, whatever show, he like almost died like a few different times by like some sort of deadly virus. Like he's always being choppered. Something about Zac Ef is he's always being choppered to the nearest ER facility. - The man either loves its engine or loves helicopters. - I think he's just a klutz. - Oh, you literally can't take him anywhere. - Yeah, exactly. I think that's-- - Whittily. - Yeah. - Bless his heart. That sucks. Oh my God. And that's also one of our things that we're going to talk about today. - Zac E and also RFK. So we already hit two things on the docket, which is not like us. - Wow. That's incredible. - Yeah. You know, what if Zac Efron is just secretly getting into all these accidents so he can get more and more filler dissolved from his jaw? Secretly. I'm starting to think it wasn't filler because of how great he looks. - No, they said it was filler. - Who's they? - They. The power's at will. - Yeah, I know everyone's saying that it was filler, but Zac has-- Zac said it was an injury. - Zac doesn't owe it to him. - Now I'm starting to think that it might have actually been because usually when people get their filler dissolved, you can still tell. - Oh no. - With him, like he looked like it's totally back to square one. - I stubbed my toe and now I have a massive jaw. - And now I can bite through a Toyota Sonata. - He could literally crush up. - What about things he literally at all went away? - Zac could have picked up a smart car and gone. - But I'm saying it all went away, which is not typically the case when you get filler dissolved. Okay, yay. Yup. - Four plus four. - Eight. That's smart car. - Okay, I have a few things to say today. - Hit me, mama. - First thing is just like a general PSA announcement to the community. Do you remember a few months ago when I said that Dolly Parton covered, I will always love you by Whitney Houston and people got so upset because she was actually the one that wrote it, which I actually didn't know. And then people continued for like months to comment and DM me. Broke, it's actually like, you were incredibly wrong. It's Dolly that wrote some blah blah blah blah blah. And I came out and said like, I promise you if I make an error and the podcast has been out for five minutes, I know about the error. I'm well aware of the error and we can just kind of let it go. It happened again. - What did you do? - Pretty badly. The baby on board sticker. - Oh, I know. I already know. - You think you've also been getting flagged? - You think I didn't get those answers? - But all the comments are like brook, brook needs to know brook a lot. But I remember a good joint conversation. - Because brook, they expect better from you. - I know they expect better from you, but I remember we were both 50/50 and on that conversation. - Hey, guess what? I don't have a baby. Don't care. I don't care. I don't need to know information like that. - No, here's the thing. - What's the real estate I have in my brain is for things that are directly affecting me. I do not work in medical care. I'm not a first responder and I don't have a baby. - Which is, it makes sense that we wouldn't know that the baby on board sticker is actually for paramedics to know that if there was an accident, there is a baby to locate. Which is, that's a great idea and I support it. Of course, people are acting like I don't support it just because I didn't know that was why. - By the way. - Of course, now that I know, I'm a huge fan of the baby on board sticker. I have to come out and say that I definitely support the baby on board sticker. - Make sure you let it know. - Now that I know what its use was for. - I'm personally super anti. - Really? - I'm anti baby on board sticker. - I don't think you can say that because it would like save a baby's life. Oh my god, I hope you get canceled. - Yeah. Hey guys, we want to take a quick break to think of sponsor of today's episode, Skims. My Skims soft lounge collection makes me feel so comfortable and relaxed, which you already know because I can't take it off. - I think having great lounge wear is such a treat and you guys all need to try the collection from Skims. - Brooke will not shut up about her Skims soft lounge clothes. It can be hard to shop for women, but who doesn't love comfy clothes? She already told me she wants more and wears her set a few times a week. - Tell everyone what you got me for my birthday. - I got her the sleep set. - Yup. - Soft lounge. - And my favorite soft lounge piece is the sleep set. - I know. - That's why I forgot me. There's something about sleeping in a matching pajamas set that makes you feel so put together. - That's actually super true. - No, genuinely. I want all the colors. - Period. - And I always say compliments when I wear it, not to mention how comfortable it is. The quality is so nice and the clothes stay soft after watching them. They also maintain their shape, which makes them last longer. - Shop the Skims soft lounge collection at skims.com, now available in sizes extra, extra small through 4x. If you haven't yet, be sure to let them know we sit you. After you place your orders, like podcasts in a survey, and select our show on the drop down menu that follows us. - Yeah. - No. - Anyway. - Who could be against this? That's what I'm saying. Why would anyone think you're against the baby on the page? - I know, but I feel like I have to say that because I'm getting 18 DMs a day, being like, seriously Brooke, like how could you not know this is what the baby on board stickers? - Don't feed the rest. - I promise. I promise you. That was, it's been out for a few minutes. I know. And we can, and we can move on. And I know, and now I'll know that for the rest of my life, which is exciting. - It's nice to learn new things. - Yeah. Totally. - You know, I will say I don't think the paramedics are walking up to like a Star Wars themed baby on board, sicker, and saying, I think I, I think there must be a baby. Little Jedi, little Jedi aboard the Star Mothership, I don't think that that's calculating. So I think that people have taken it to a point where it's like, that is no longer for paramedics. It's to show off your little Jedi. - Oh, I haven't seen the Jedi themed ones. - Yeah. - But I look forward to it. - There's, there's a lot of people too that like make fun of baby on board stickers on their car, which is like, they make fun, they, there's some that are like, fuck your baby on board sticker, but they put that on their car. Have you seen those? - They must not know what it's for. - No, so you're not alone. - No, and I know I'm not alone. People literally act like I didn't know what OnePlus One was, but it's fine. - Eight. - Because it, because they should, they expect better for me. I get it. - Oh, good. - As long as you're just doing better, as long as you just do better, I think it should all be fine. - Yeah. - Because it's like a learning and accountability thing. I had something to say. - Yeah. - So, I think we originally start here. - Bears in the par. - No, maybe I didn't have anything to say. - What's crazy is that, as a thing about my nails, my fake nails is they are getting longer. - Well, because they're growing. - Exactly. - Exactly. - Yeah. - Which isn't even something I considered when they were already too long to begin with, is that they would keep growing. - They will keep growing. - I... - Just like you. And the baby on board's your thing. - Not, not me personally, but other people. - No, personal growth. - Oh, okay. I thought you were talking about physical. - Not height. - Inside. - Inside of you. - Yeah. - Always growing. - On the inside. - You've got such a big heart. - But I can't do anything with it. - But it's getting bigger. - Yeah. - There's a baby on board in your chest. And it's growing. - Okay. - Oh, no. It's getting too big. - Okay. You know that my nails are still growing. - Oh, it reminded me of that thing. So, remember that thing? You went to the movies and you saw those people laying on the ground and they had that alien on their face? - Yeah. I do remember that. - Sick. (laughter) Sick in the face. So, I saw it last night. I was actually insane. I almost forgot about that. - No, it stuck with me. - It was only two nights ago. - Stuff like that grosses me out. Like a... - They were real human people with an alien mask, so there was two of them, laying under the alien posters dead to the world. - It's a guerrilla marketing scheme. - I don't think they were even in on any sort of marketing. - No, they are because... - I know I think they were just people of the street. - I saw last night that it's a marketing scheme. They're all over New York now laying in Times Square. - I definitely, as I've said before, I would be more comfortable if they weren't doing that. - Right. - I guess that makes sense for why they weren't kicked out. - Laying around, hey, if you ever need a rest, bring your alien mask, you'd lay down wherever you want. - That actually is like an episode of criminal minds waiting to happen. - Like an actual dead body? - Something lay out, like put there, or like an unsub in disguise as an alien in the movie theater. - Like a little alien mask? - Yeah. - It's this big. How could someone disguise themselves as this big? - Because his face is covered. - Oh. - You mean the man under the mask? - Yeah. - Like if-- - The masked man is the unsub. - I thought you meant the mask was the unsub. I was like, that's too little. - What an unsub is? - Oh, the unknown subject. The killer. - You know, I know. I thought that you meant he was disguising himself as an alien. - He is disguising himself. - The alien is that little mask. - What are you talking about? - That's on their face. - I know what a mask is. I'm saying that he's using that as the disguise to not show his own fate. - Now I understand, but those two beings, the mask, and the person are not one. - I am aware-- - The unsub could be either the mask or the person under the mask. - An unsub cannot be a mask. - I know now. I didn't understand at first. - But I don't even understand what you thought. - That you meant that it was like a little tiny unsub, like man. Like a baby on board. - Let's move on. - Thank God we have no babies on board because we have things to do today. We have to get moving at it. - Have you done anything like in your personal life that you want to talk about? - Oh yeah, I don't know if I can talk about it, but it doesn't really matter. I did another SNL. Oh, I did talk about it last week. - I didn't know. - I think you were talking about that you were gonna do it. - I did do it. - And? - Horrible. So thank you. You will not be catching me on SNL this season. - Which is, I genuinely, I told you this, like I think you're good. - Yeah, thanks. - All good. - Thank you so much. It was a harrowing experience. I didn't sign an NDA or anything, so I could probably talk about it. - I'm sure you could. - Yeah, there's people that-- - Hello. - There was a noise. - It was just, it was created to see all these people do like legit SNL skits. Like, I was like, oh wow, they're gonna be on SNL. So I think that I took a picture of the list of names so that if the time comes and one of them is on, I'll have like, I was there and they got it. - Yeah, I feel like I was there. - That's kind of all I have to say over the weekend. Did I do anything? Is that what you're asking me? - Yes. So the last time I saw you. So I had an event on Friday with Dr. Matt King, incorporated. And that was really special. We were emceeing this event. And we nailed it. I was like, wow, I'm like, kind of interested. - What were your MC duties? - Well, Matt, being Matt, memorized every single detail about barebells, protein bars, which like, I was unaware that I had homework. So I was kind of like, Matt, what do we say? I was kind of like, the personality hire. - Matt is the perfect person to be in a group project with. - He took it upon himself to memorize. So like, we had to introduce all the new product and it was like the barebell. They had a new caramel crunch protein bar and he was like, baked in a buttery flaky crust of caramel crunch kernels. And underneath that, you'll be shocked to hear that there is caramel again, yet again underneath, above the new get wafers. And I'm like, yep, you guys, you heard Matt, that's exactly right. And I'm looking forward to seeing it, being around it, experiencing it myself. That was kind of my duty there. - How many people showed up? - A lot. - And could you, was it just like open invite? Anyone can come? - From the streets. And people did. They came out. - That's so exciting. But then I was weirdly so tired after that, experience that I didn't do anything Saturday or Sunday, which is becoming my new ting. - Ooh, coffee's got a taste to it. - What do you, what kind of mean? - It's the vanilla. - Oh. What about you? What'd you do? - Connor, I went to the Cheesecake Factory. - Mm-hmm. Awesome. - What kind of coffee did you get? - The vanilla. - Okay. - You have the regular. - Mm-hmm. As you said that, I started tasting chlorine. - Oh, I'm just, I'm tasting something else that's not chlorine. - Okay. - I do love the taste of chlorine. And the smell too. - Me too. - I got spaghetti and meatballs at the Cheesecake Factory. - Yeah. - Awesome. I have not been able to stop thinking about them. - I've never been. I've been one time. - You're kidding. Connor, you've got to get yourself the Cheesecake Factory. - I don't want to go. - No, you have to. - I don't want to go. - Get spaghetti and meatballs. - I think. - Okay. I'll have the linguine. - What? - I thought you were doing a thing. Get the strawberry soda. - I was. - Oh, I said I'll get the linguine. - Oh, okay. - Hey guys, we want to take a quick break to thank a sponsor of today's episode, Armra. I'm sure a lot of us are on the lookout for ways to better our fitness, our skin, our even strength and our immunity. Well, we recently discovered an incredible product, Armra Colostrum. Ever since I started taking Armra Colostrum, I've noticed my hair feels so much healthier, softer and longer. My nails have also been growing and feeling stronger. If you're someone who struggles with their gut health, Armra Colostrum combats bloating, making you feel lighter. - I bought this before they were a partner of our show. I bought, they have these little, these things. If you scroll back on our show, you'll see that I was taking them on the show. They have like little travel packs too. I've been noticing the benefits when I work out because Colostrum has been shown to improve fitness endurance by 20%, decrease recovery time by over 50%, after intense exercise, improve stamina, and specifically build lean muscle mass. Again, Armra Colostrum strengthens immunity, ignites metabolism, fortifies gut health, and activates hair growth and skin radiance. It also powers fitness performance and recovery and has powerful anti-aging benefits. - We've worked out a special offer for our audience. You can receive 15% off your first order. - Oh my God. - I want to order. - We have to sync up really quick. We've got to sync up. - In what way? - 'Cause I feel like we're just not connecting in a way today that we really need to be connecting. - Do you think talking about, okay? You were like, well, how do you expect us to connect if you don't let me talk about Jake Shane's sushi bowl? - Yeah, hit me. - That's awesome. - I agree. - It is awesome. - If you don't know, Jake Shane has beef with sugarfish, which is another sushi chain because they wouldn't give him a side of white rice because they only give that to kids, which is crazy because it's a sushi restaurant, they have some white rice around despair, probably. So he partners with Sweetfin, which is another pokeball place, and his bowl looks so good and it has a side of white rice, but I want to order it today, me and you, and I want to eat it in the bonus. Is that something that would interest you? - Yeah. - Me too. 'Cause it looks right up both of our alleys. We don't have similar taste buds, but I think this is where we over-sect. That's not a word. - Yeah, we might over-sect here. - I think we over-sect here. - Yeah, this was really smart. Jake tried out for SNL too last week with me, and I drove him home from the showcase, and he showed me the song that he wrote. - I haven't heard it. It's legitimately three and a half minutes long, and it is so good. - I'm so excited. - It's full-blown, produced production. - No, this beef that he has is getting national headline. - What do you think is happening over at Sugarworks HQ? - I would love to know if someone works there. - You know there's someone orange that's like, "Fuck, I'm going to quit." - Yeah. No, they better, it's important to grow and change from these type of things, and I hope that they allow people to get excited quite right now. - They're doubling down. - I think they might be doubling down. - That would be such a huge PR move for them if they were like, "Okay, whatever, you can get rice." No. Oh my gosh, Brooke, we should make a BNC street rice cart, and just like when people walk in, they can order a little cup of rice from us. - That's Jake Singh. We can't just all of a sudden start doing rice too. - Business is business, baby. I feel like the rice market and influencing is so niche that when you start going into the side of rice business, it's stepping on Jake's toes. - No, you are absolutely not being cutthroat right now, and I need you to be cutthroat. - Okay, you can run it by Jake. No. - Call Jake Shane. - What are you going to say? - I used to say, "Sorry, you can take your call right now." - Is that Jake? - I think as a child. - Thank you so much. Thank you. - Oh my God, that's precious. - Jake, I have a business proposition I would love to run past you. Keep it open mind. I just want to say that before I present you with my proposition. Bye. - It's not a proposition for him if you just want to do it me and you without him. - It just doesn't seem like you're very open to being a part of this business, and that's okay. - I feel like I'm just being a good friend of Jake. - And me too, because I just called him and told him I'm going to do it. And by the way, you think I'm going to sit out there and run my street cart? No, I'm going to hire out, and I'm going to build this business from the ground up. - Okay, do it. I want you to do it. See where it gets you. Speaking of Jake, I'm all about the segues today. Speaking of Jake, I have something to say about Glenn Powell. - Great. - Someone commented on the video of me saying that I haven't entered my Glenazons yet, and they said that the reason I have not entered my Glenazons is because Glenn is a brunette with the face of a blonde. That's a blonde man. - I thought he was blonde. - That's a blonde man, which is what I responded to that girl in the comments of the video. And I'm starting to second guess myself. I googled Glenn Powell. That man has brown hair. - Wow, okay, so that person was right. - That man has brown hair that sometimes has blonde highlights for roles, but at the end of the day, he is technically speaking a brunette. So she hit the nail on the fucking head, man. - Oh, he's completely-- - Look, that's a man with brown hair. - He has completely brown hair. Which is complete, that's a mandala effect if I've ever heard of blonde. I mean, sometimes he can have like a dirty blonde tint, definitely. What color hair is that? Brown? - To me that, like-- - But that's a blonde man. - The color of that hair is like called hair, to me in my head. You know what I mean? - Let's get-- - No, if you cover up his face, the color of that is brown. If you uncover his face, that is blonde. - You should have blonde hair though. - You should have bleached blonde hair. In my head, he does. In this picture he does, unless, until you cover up his face, and the hair of the brown. - Why are tooth browns? (laughs) Why are hair of brown, Glenn? - All right, I need you to hit us with another segue. - Okay. - 'Cause I don't know how to get to any of your time. - Speaking of, like, movies and movie culture, have you heard about It Ends With Us? - Yeah. - Okay, I saw, and I'm prepping us for, like, some backlash here, 'cause people are ready to hate this movie. I saw it a few weeks ago, an advanced screening of it. I have to say, I was hysterically sobbing, profoundly impacted by the film. I think everyone has said that has pre-screened it, said that it's good. - Yeah, but I think the people that went to the pre-screenings are people that probably would like it, whereas the people that are already ready to hate it would not have been asked to attend the pre-screenings. - I see. - You know what I mean? So I think it's a selective-- - They're jaded. - So, I, truly, like, I sobbed, and I thought it was well done, but anyway, there's a lot of drama happening around the movie that no one is talking about. - Like what? - Let me share. - So the movie is directed by Justin Belldoni. Do you know who that is? - I do, because when I was working at Bumble, we had him come in and do an event for Us. - What was he like? - Nothing-- I didn't know who he was, so I was just like, "Hey." - So he's from Jane the Virgin, and he's directed movies like Five Feet Apart and Clouds, which are both movies that handle kind of sensitive illness subjects. - Justin Belldoni and I are operating like this. There's not a world in which anything he works on, anything Justin Belldoni touches, would ever have led-- the fact that I'm saying his name, I think, is an act of the universe and the strings and whatever happens. Everything in my life led me up to learning about Justin Belldoni, because I know nothing about him, nothing-- - I'm trying to tell you. - Nothing he touches would have ever reached me except this. - That's the whole point of me and you. - I know. - Is that things you're running parallel to enter are now perpendicular to me because of me. - Right, entering me. - Yeah. - Yeah, which I love. Anyway, so he directed those movies, and he also was very much in the like-- - You're pegging me with information about Justin Belldoni. - Yeah, I know, because I'm setting the scene for the drama. - Okay, gotcha. - He also is very much in the like fragile masculinity, like unpacking masculinity space. He has a book on that. And my understanding of Justin Belldoni, and I said this on Obsess last week, is that he's like a grade A like perfect guy. That has been my understanding. And I don't know anything that would contradict that, but let me tell you about the drama. So he directed it ends with us, and also starred in it. A little bit spoilery coming, but not really, but a little teeny bit about the direction of the film. - A little bit about me. He plays the bad guy, okay, in the movie. So people were like, oh, and he has not been involved in like any of the press, like it's just been Blake Lively, the romantic lead, Brandon S, who's a sweetheart, I think. Jenny Slate, everybody else has been doing press, Justin has nowhere to be seen. And people have thought that's because like, oh, he plays the villain, like people don't want, like to have him like being like buddy buddy with the rest of the cast, like for optics. Okay. No, because Colleen Hoover and Blake Lively both unfollowed him on Instagram, okay? Brandon the other guy. I don't know if it's Brandon or Brendan right now, but it's definitely one of those, and I have trouble with that name. - Can't remember. - I'll call him B. Never followed him in the first place. And him and Colleen were so buddy buddy at the beginning, like constantly posting together. And at the premiere last night, no one was seen with Justin. He was going completely like on his own while the rest of the cast were like posting pictures together. Jenny Slate posted him was like, congratulations to Blake Lively on this film, which is interesting because Justin directed and starred in it as well. So something, something is awry.

I do need to say, just given the state of things in terms of marketing movies, and in terms of like every single other movie being like, "Are these two dating? Like is Glen Powell? Is any Sweeney like, "Oh, did he break up with his girl? Did he just go from break up with him because they're cheating on each other together?" No, they were not at all, but we believed it. To me, it seems like marketing. I don't think so. It just seems like marketing to me. I don't think Colleen and Blake would unfollow him. That's like a pretty easy thing. It's just two taps with your thumb. And, B, Brandon X Brennan, never followed him to begin with even before, if it was a PR stunt, they wouldn't have even hatched the idea yet, and he never followed him. In the movie are the two romantically involved in the movie. Who's the lead? Jenny Slate? No. Blake Lively is romantically involved. There's two romantic leads. One is Justin Bell-Dony and one is B. So who? In the bad guy. Who are we rooting for? B. We're rooting for B. Mm-hmm. Well, actually it's yes. I'm not following. I don't want to spoil the movie, but it's like a very... Oh, okay. Like... I'm just saying when you have... Beautiful. And so the female lead is, like, lively. Yeah. So who, like, you absolutely could not, like, she can't be seen with B or Justin in public and you can't have any lore surrounding them because she's married to Ryan Reynolds. Well, Ryan Reynolds interviewed B. And it was really funny because he was like, "Okay, I'm really interested to get to know and interview my wife romantic interest in the film." Mm-hmm. So they're actually... That's not... It's all true. Mm-hmm. Okay. Well... Oh, okay. Well, I just... I don't know anything about it, so I'm literally just trying to... I know. I don't want to give away the... My thought is that Justin Bell-Dony couldn't have done anything so, so unprofessional that they are, like, they're, like, leaving him intentionally out of congratulatory posts. Like, you at least put on airs and you learn when to lie when you're... No, I think something happened. Which is... You would come out with a... I'm being parasocial. If something was that serious, you'd come out and be like, "Justin Bell-Dony is no longer affiliated with the film. He won't be... He won't be doing press." Well, I don't think it was something like... I think they just maybe had, like, serious creative differences or like... I think this is... I don't think it was something that required a statement. Well, they just got five minutes of our podcast, so if it's marketing, they won. Yeah, maybe... I don't know, I'm not convinced, and I don't think enough people are talking about this drama. Well, considering I didn't... I knew nothing about... You've probably not seen it anywhere. Dr. Baldini? No, I had no idea, and now I'm fully in the loop, and now I'm, like, fully... This is going to be in my zeitgeist. Yeah. My phone's listening. I'm going to get ads for Justin Bell-Dony, right, when we get offline. Yeah. Because it definitely... It appears based off of how everyone is aligning that he did something, because it's everyone versus him. Yeah. Which would be shocking to me based off of... I expressed how I've expressed my love for him, he seems like the greatest guy, et cetera. Something... Something's not adding up. All right. And that just goes to show you... You never... No. Anyone who you don't know. Never judge about it. You never know someone that you don't know. I hear it, and everybody's don't know about it like that. Yeah. You really open my eyes, Brooke. Yeah. So let's keep our eyes on that space. Are you watching the Olympics at all still? No, I wasn't to begin with. I watched... Steven. Every single day I watched the Olympics. What's your favorite? I have really a lot of thoughts that, like, it's another one of those things for me. You know, sometimes you say things and you're like, "I kind of don't want people to know that I didn't know that." Yeah, of course. Okay. Well, this is gonna... What's crazy is that like, there's so many of that stuff that we choose to air. Like, imagine how bad it has to be if we don't air it. Yeah. Some stuff gets cut because we're like, you know, you heard the NATO thing. I was not knowing what NATO was. Times that by 10. Yeah. God, yeah. But like the point of the point of this and the me pushing us to, like, release of is that there's probably a lot of closeted people that just don't know certain really obvious stuff to most people that, like, learn with us. And we take their hands. I think that's the case because some of my... I think my friends are some of the smartest people. And I've never once felt like there was a disparity there. Like, they don't know what I don't know. Well, you only know what you're exposed to. Like, I didn't know that Delhi was short for Delicatessen. Yeah. I also think that people define intelligence in, like, such a specific way, whereas it could be so many things, you know, and like I said, we only have so much real estate. Anyways, so I'm watching the Olympics and this is going to be hard to put into words. And I really need you to just, like, push yourself to try to understand what I'm saying. I'm watching and I'm like, okay, like, like, why does Sweden have a beach volleyball team? How did they even hear about beach volleyball? You know what I mean? Like, do you know what I mean? No. Okay. Um, I don't know why I think of the Olympics. I think they don't have, like, phones? No, no, no. They don't have a need for a beach volleyball team. And then I started thinking, I'm like, why am I thinking about it? Like, the Hunger Games, like, each district should be like, we're good at logging because we have forests or like, we're good at fishing because we live on an island. I kind of like, I don't, it doesn't, it doesn't compute for me. It's like the Jamaican bobsled team. Why do you have a bobsled team? What good is that doing? But it's like, on the world stage, you need to learn how to do these sports. Well, all sports are not, like, necessary. Well, Brooke, I know that, but I'm just saying some, some countries are, like, genetically predisposed to not be good at certain sports. Like, so I wouldn't want to compete in certain things. I'm trying to think of a way that I can put this without, like, getting a contract. I'm not even sure what you're trying to say. No one gets it. I feel like I'm going and saying, Kenny, do you get it? Yeah. Like, I had that thought with, uh, Ireland has a hockey team and I was like, who's playing hockey over there? Who's playing hockey over there? And like, like, if you were, okay, here's what it is from a, from a, from a, from a business perspective, if you're in Ireland and you're like, I want to be the best hockey player in Ireland, like the bar's really low. You could go to the Olympics. Same way with like, I'm also learning about a lot of new sports. Like I feel like there's like industry plant sports where like I walk away and I go make a coffee and I come back and they're like, they're like passing a ball around a court with just their mouths. I'm like, what game is this? Fear factor. Like, I don't, I'm not following. And so there's just a lot of things I'm learning about the Olympics. Fencing is blowing my damn mind. I really feel like that's made up. I thought it was just in the parent drop. And then now all of a sudden it's on the world stage and they're really just walking up out, like you're out. It's like literally a point, point, point, it's crazy. I know it's a real sport. It's mind blowing. Now, I'll just get it off of the dumb subject and I'm just going to give a little recap of what I watched yesterday. It was like every time I blinked, it felt like I was becoming more American yesterday. Now, all of a sudden patriotism is back in. It's back in. It's we've reclaimed the flag. Turn it up. Turn. I literally want to get it like an American flag like they have in classrooms and like put it in my living room. No, we've reclaimed the flag. I saw this video that moved me profoundly on TikTok that were these women like in their 40s, maybe like in the Midwest. And they were like flouncing the flag around, they were flouncing the flag around. And a woman with a mic came up to them and was like, who are you voting for? And like obviously I was just like, oh, they're voting for Trump. And they were just like, Kamala. And it was such a profound like reclamation of the flag. I started crying. Nice. Yeah. Yeah. Well, okay. Wait, put a pen in that because I want to come back to that. But I do want to recap the Olympics. So yesterday I was watching track and field and they had this like pre roll video of these two dudes. I think that one was British and one was Irish, I think, if my memory supports me. And they're doing this like back and forth of like one guy's like, yeah, I don't know why he's talking smack about me, like he should be out on the field right now doing his sprints. He can't do the 300 meter, all this stuff. And like the other Irish guys, like he sucks, you know, like they're going back and forth playing these like press conferences of these two guys, one, I think the British guy was the world champion, the world champion of the 1500 meter. And the Irish guy was like the past Olympic champion of the 1500 meter. They start to run. You're watching these two guys and the announcers are going, this is all, it was all talk. No, no, no, no. It's an atom quietly from behind via the Eagles wings and American Cole Hawker, I think his name is starts to pick it up, starts to pick it up, starts to pick it up, starts to pick it up, starts to pick it up, passes him, passes him gold Olympic gold medalist American and then get this, the great, the great Britain douchebag guy. That was the big like talking smack guy right at the tail and another American stick to his neck out. Get second. We got the world champion out, we got the Olympic champion out, team USA baby. And then the third guy that was talking like didn't even place didn't even metal. And it was crazy like watching his parents in the stands, they, they, they pay into them. His dad's going is like, cause he wasn't supposed to be meddling, Cole wasn't. Whoa, you see his dad go, what the fuck, like screaming it and then he wins. Maybe that was his strategy all along. It's to not let people know how good he was. That's, they're saying it. American hustler. Yeah. American hustler. Never seen American hustler. But yeah, I mean, I haven't either. Just sounds good. Those two words. Is that that movie? I think that's with Rebel Wilson, the Bradley Cooper one. It's Oceans 11. No. Okay. Wait. Uh oh. Then, then I continued watching American hustle. I started watching track and field again, another American Gabby Thomas went to UT Austin. Oh my god. Do you know her? I did not know her. She's younger than me and she just won a gold, gold medal at the Olympics. You know, that pisses me off. You don't have to squeeze the water bottle to get it into your mouth faster. I want to. It's not going anywhere. You just tip it further up. I'm not a tipper. We've talked about this. You're wet all over your face and now like probably sub squeezing it. That's why I'm always so dehydrated. Like only half of the water forgets in my mouth. It will get there. It will get there. Okay. I'm not down at the Olympics really quick. Um, do you know how much Snoop Dogg is getting paid per day to be at the Olympics? Does anyone want to know? Yeah. 500 million dollars. Wait, 500,000 dollars a day and 500 million dollars a day and how many days? I don't know. The Olympics is like a month. Really? Yeah. I think it's over. No. On the 11th? Oh. Oh. Yeah. It feels like a, it feels like a month when you're watching TV all day. Yeah. Yeah. Um, but I've been, I've been really, really liking it. That's all I have. Good. I love that. I really like that I have something else to say about the Olympics. Okay. How the hell? I want to make a take talk about this. I'm watching. I'm watching, I'm watching skateboarding with the Eiffel Tower in the back. Yeah. I'm watching beach volleyball with the Louvre in the back. I'm watching rowing in the, in the river, sin, in the sin river. Forgive which way they do it. What are we going to, what the hell are we going to do in LA when we host it in 2028? Where are we going to put them under the 405? Maybe I was thinking the silver like reservoir. No, cause they're not even going that far. They're putting like Manhattan beach is a big volleyball town. They're playing volleyball in Santa Monica. They better check this hand. I'm just, no, maybe like I bet there's like gorgeous stuff in this, they might do Malibu. No, they're doing volleyball and like they're staying all within like that section of LA that's like Santa Monica up to like West Hollywood, I think. There's no way the Olympics are happening in West Hollywood. Do you think they're running track in DTLA? No, I'm not telling you. They are going to do that. That USC. Oh, they're going to run at USC. That makes sense. What are they going to do about skid robing 40 feet away from track and field? They still call it skid row. Okay. What are they going to do about that? I'm on skid row talk. How is it? It's like sad. Yeah, it's tragic. Yeah. But I'm saying which historically when they have the Olympics places, they just cover up all the, all the bad stuff about a city. When my dad flew into Rio during the Olympics, when they were having him in Rio de Janeiro, he's like, there was just this huge wall in between the city and then like all of the, I'm sure something horrible like that is going to happen when the Olympics come here.

I do too. Did you see, by the way, now that back to your point about Kamala Harris and all that jazz, their merch that came out is like a camouflage hat with orange riding that says like, Harris Waltz. Oh, my God. I love that. I love the way we're reclaiming like it's like hunting gear because he's a veteran for people that like any hunts. He's hunts. Yeah. It's so interesting. He's a progressive hunter. He's my favorite thing on Twitter where it's like they're going to take our guns away and then just like a picture of him with a gun like I don't think he's going to take our guns away. I think makes me sad, but I can't say that because I eat meat, you know, so we have to move on. Yeah. There's ethical hunting and then there's unethical hunting like I think RFK with that bear cub that he definitely did not kill. We got you RFK like that. Like I don't like people killing well, listen to this. You can't get around that and hunting them. I do know something. Well, you can because there's overpopulation of certain species like you're still killing them. Well, you have to like do population control or else it like messes up the rest of the ecosystem. That sounds like the beginning of something really bad. It's not like it's that's how it's been around because like like wild hogs breed really quickly and they destroy like I just could not kill an animal myself. Hey, I haven't ever done it either, but I'm saying like, I think that's my understanding, right? Am I wrong? I'm talking out of my arse, but I'm saying that's I mean, I assume that that happens. Also people aren't just like shooting them and then they were just running a field like they eat the. No, I know. Okay. Which is why I'm like, I can't even talk because I literally had ribs last night. How were they like I don't even want to say pork or beef like the Chinese kind like barbecue spare ribs like pork, pork. Okay. So good. I was like, pork or beef and she was like Chinese. Okay. So that should answer it. They have cows in China. I'm sure they do, but I'm saying the kind of ribs that you get at a Chinese restaurant or are a pork base. You can get beef ribs. Do you know that my mom wanted me to keep kosher when I was in middle school? And so I used to get to school really, really early and get bacon and eat it behind a trash can. We have been shaped by all that has come before us. Yeah. And now we have to on burden ourselves by what what has been. Yeah. 100% Do you think she's, do you think Kamala Harris is ever going to like address the coconut tree thing? Like I think that she needs to like when she gets elected be like none of us fell out of that coconut tree. I think she'll bring it back once. I think she is trying to pass the right idea by not like harping on it and I think she'll bring it back. Like when we're least expecting it as like a final like rally for the people and it'll be great. So funny. It isn't getting old. It really feels like we're watching Veep. It does. Yeah. Okay. She was so fun to watch last night. Yeah. She was like trying to have a laugh at the entire time. Yeah. Can you stop clicking your nose? I can't hear it. Wait, you want to hear some nail eyes more? Wait, do you want to hear something insane while you're doing that? Yeah. One time I was sitting at my college house and we had all these guitars hung on. I was sitting up on the wall like across one side. And one time I was like my roommate, I was watching TV and I heard like one of my roommates was like strumming on the guitar and I was like, can you stop watching TV? And it was like like that. It was like like just literally like I turn around cockroaches running around on the strings of one of the guitars and it was going ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Yeah. That's bad. Tim Waltz going on Hot Ones or is that a. No. Fuck. Sorry. If Tim Waltz goes on Hot Ones, we don't even need to have an election. Like they win. Tim Waltz and comma Harris on Hot Ones. That would be really. Boom. Election one. Oh, could you imagine how much Trump would sweat on Hot Ones? That would be hard to watch. That could kill him. They'd have to do Hot Ones like in a pool, which no one would want to see. I fear not I fear. Did you see Tim Waltz actually made a comment about the couch? I did see that. By the way, by the way, by the way, I don't know if we got like shadow band because I said he had sex with the couch or what, but like that video when I posted it, I really thought I was going to do numbers. I was really like posting it like literally for an hour 16 likes. I had to do an outreach and be like, please, you guys, no, go like someone commented on it. I post on Snapchat, which is at fibula by the way, I post on Snapchat and said, please, please go like that video. Like I'm feel like I'm going to be sick and someone commented, is this the video you want to just like? And I was like, no, no, no, it was a different one. I deleted it. It's so weird how the videos were like this is like the next I have first get eight likes. No, it's crazy. It's so crazy. It's so crazy. That's sad. I have something I have to say. I've never shared this on here and I want to share it because I feel like it could help somebody. It's calling me back. Hi, Jake, you're live on the pod. Hi, Jake. Hello, my love. Hi, Brookie. How are you? I miss you. Good. I miss you. Connor has this awesome idea that we should open up a stand outside of sugarfish, like a street food car, and it's just simply white rice and a cup. You didn't say outside of sugarfish. Yes, I did. No, you didn't. Outside of sugarfish. Like, why do I feel like it would just like make people go into sugarfish though? And by the way, I'm against this idea. I don't know if I love that idea, but like I love the enthusiasm behind the idea. It feels like a lemonade stand, but for rice, you're breaking up a little bit. You're not, Jake. I'm just kidding. No, a lemonade stand for, but for rice, but a lot of times you don't even realize what I'm craving right now is like some, some like moist white, some sticky rice. Okay, honestly, yeah, I love it, but I'm just like, no, like, I definitely love it, but I'm wondering like what we get a season to say. Yes. What if it's just not outside of sugarfish? Okay, you guys, I love you. Okay. I love you, Jake. I love you all so much. Bye. Bye, Jake. Something tells me didn't love it. He's like that on the phone, by the way, he'll be like, he'll call me like, whoa, like really? He's like, all right, I got to go like halfway through. I was like, I thought we were chatting. Oh, let me go. I'll literally be in my AirPods, like I'll start to do the dishes thinking about to have a conversation. They're like, all right. I got to go. I'm like, I got to call. I got to find someone to call. One of my favorite friendships ever is you and Jake. Yeah. We have a special bond. Truly. The two of us. And honestly, you and Tristan. Love Tristan, too. I know. I love when you two get together. By the way, me, you Tristan, watch this space, y'all. I want Tristan to come on this podcast. Me, too. Okay. Wait, I have to tell you. I started talking about it. I've never talked about this on the podcast, but I think that this may help people. I'm late all the time. I'm late to this. Yeah. I'm late to that. Yeah. I know. I'm late to finding my damn hat. But I have this album in my phone that I've never shared and it's called Sorry I'm Late. And I think everyone should have one of these. Basically, it's pictures, right? There's a picture of my landlord and my cabinet. There's a picture of a positive COVID test. There's a picture of Max looking kind of positive COVID test. Sorry. I'm late on my way. Yeah. Like, and then they can either be like, okay, no worries or stay home. Max looking kind of sad. Oh, that is sad. I have a picture of me on a phone call with a 1-800 number and it says 36 minutes, like 14 seconds. I have a picture with my mom. It says like 14 minutes and then you can kind of, you can kind of pick which one you want to use. Yeah. And send it off. I think that's a good idea. Sorry I'm late. I have COVID. Yeah. I do understand what you're doing and I think it's a good idea. I think you should just try being on time. That's so much easier said than done. I feel like. That is true. I don't think that, like, I wish I was better at that. I don't know if there's a medication that I could take. But for now, I think that my album called Sorry I'm Late is the best medicine besides laughter. Okay. Thank you for sharing. Yeah. And Adderall. I have a crush on Daisy Edgar Jones. We all do. I know. But it's, did you watch her on Royal Court, Brittany Show? Mm-hmm. Did you actually? No. She is so charming and sweet and funny and like just truly the greatest woman in the whole world. I'm addicted to her. She kept up with Brittany and that's really hard to do. I really like her. Can I just say something? Yeah. I think. It's pretty a screw on the world. It's hard for me to like her because I like Dakota Johnson so much and they look the same. They both have brown hair. They look the same. I don't think so at all. Can we get a side-by-side of Daisy Edgar and the other one? I feel like Daisy's much softer and Dakota's got some edge to her. Both gorgeous, of course. Okay. Yeah. Yep. You're thinking of just the bangs maybe? And the face. I think they're just brunette. No. They're the same. Yeah. This is like. Not seeing it. I mean, I'm like they don't like look so opposite but I wouldn't think like oh they look like I wouldn't even think that they're sisters because they look so much alike. I would think that one of them had surgery to start becoming the other one. You know that? Who's that guy that looks exactly like Glen Powell that I used to get confused? I haven't been. The guy from This Is Us, one of the brothers. Justin, something that used to me that used to be Glen Powell also. This young man couldn't tell the difference. I can see it. Yeah. Yeah. I mean they have the same hair. It's parted a different way. The same blonde brunette hair. Same blonde hair. Yeah. That we know them. That's their defining qualities, their blonde hair. Wait. I'm going to outside land. I think you should talk about the earthquake first. No. Yeah. How come we haven't talked about that? We should have opened with that. I know. On Sunday, I was kind of winding down for the evening and my tooth was feeling weird. It didn't hurt. Just kind of like I could feel my tooth. My back. My tooth. My back molar. I was getting there. And then I post on my Snapchat surrogate, there's going to be an earthquake this week. I can feel it in my teeth. Last night I'm sitting on my couch and I'm sitting up like I'm sitting, I'm sitting not even leaning back on the thing. And I'm sitting there and Max kind of gets up and he's looking at the door. And as he gets up, my upstairs neighbors are really moving a lot so much that they're shaking the ground in my room and I was like, "What are they doing?" And then I started listening. I was like, "Oh, they're not making any noise." And the chair was going like this, like the cushion. And I've never felt an earthquake before. I said that. Really? Ever. And then I get the notification after and it's like earthquake or I've been driving or whatever, you don't feel them in the car. That was the first one I felt. I was like, it was kind of like, it was kind of a big one. It was huge. It was 5.7 and it was in Bakersfield, which is just up from where I got max. It's like three hours away. So it was really close. I was, and then I started getting texts, Megan texted me, Patrick texted me, a bunch of people texted me, "You're a witch," because what? Two days later, after I felt it in my tooth, there was an earthquake. My body is so in touch with the tectonic plates that like, we're a one. We're a one now. That is insane. No, it's and... That science has come to your tooth being able to predict the next earthquake. My brown tooth. My tooth brown predicting the next earthquake is insane. My tooth brown, my tooth frown, my tooth do things that your tooth with it could. My tooth bad, my tooth good, my tooth do things that your tooth wish it could. My tooth bad, tell me if you've seen him. He always bring the racket like Venus and Serena. Williams would have been better in there, I think. Hmm. If you've seen... I'm just repeating. Oh, it is. Yeah. You can tell Ludacris that you have an idea though. I don't know what's in the original. Oh, yeah, you love Ludac. Why don't you get him on the line like Jake Shane? Well, I don't love it. I gotta go. I'll let you let me go. I'm going outside lands this weekend. Oh, I'm jealous. Let's line up. It's really good. I obviously am missing Friday because I have shows this week. My last two shows in LA are this week. Oh, I want to go. And listen to this. You should come. Okay. I'm not scared. I'm going to go and I'm going to... Show or outside land. Yeah, like I usually like get nervous before my shows. I'm going to go and just like have fun and be like, "Hey you, hey you little dang." Like, let me talk to you. Let me buy you a drink. Yeah. You know what I mean? I'm going to like really engage with people. I'm not going to like script as much as I usually do and I'm just going to have fun with it. Okay. I love that attitude. And then if it starts going south... Start reading off your phone. I have COVID. Sorry of COVID. It's not because my jokes are bad. It's because I have COVID. Yeah. Sorry, y'all. I got COVID. I am going outside lands and I am going to see Chapel Rown and I'm really excited. Chapel Rown, the thing about Chapel Rown. I never sought her out, but randomly she started playing. She's been playing at every bar I've gone to like that has a DJ the whole time I was in New York kept playing. I know every word to like her top four songs or not every word, but like bop bop bop bop bop bop. I got to do that. I'm going to do that. And I keep getting her crowds at like love blues and all that the massive like like queen style crowds like like OG like Amy Winehouse at that Hill the World Festival thing that level crowds. And I'm going to go. And I'm going to I'm so excited to see that crowd and like be in that crowd. She is she has popped off. Yeah. My favorite song is still Pink Pony Club. Do you remember when I was obsessed with that a few years ago? No. Yeah. I don't think I played it for you. But yeah, I'm excited to do the last time I was like excited to be in a crowd because I had seen the crowd already was Kendrick Lamar. And I don't I think it must have been Austin City limits that I saw him. And it was that yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that like and it was on Vine. I was in college. I remember it was on Vine and I was excited to post that like every time I'm in the street. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So are you more excited for the crowd or to see chapel? Like a combo platter of both. Okay. Yeah. It is like an historic event. Well, the funny thing is about the lineup is she's like third rose. Her name is this big. I didn't even I didn't even know she was going. That's going to next year. She's going to be the biggest name. No, I think it's going to I think it is probably messing a lot of stuff up for these festivals because she's on this like side stage and it's everyone's going to go from the main act over the like her side stage and it's not it's not built for that. I hit that I don't think so because they pay they pay the artist like I would honestly buy out one of the artists that's like headlining and be like take the night off. It really doesn't matter. Like I don't even know who's who's going that night. Let me check because I'm going to embarrass myself. Oh, yeah, can we? I think I'm going to miss Renee rap because I think she's on. Yeah, she's Friday, um, Sergio Simpson, who I really like. I never heard that. And then post Malone, well, he's like really low-key. But him being the headliner is mind-blowing to me over the one that I can't say that's second one. Kite Tranada. Yeah, K. Tranada that I really have enjoyed seeing in the past, Teddy swims, Victorian Monet, Chapel Rhone, like I would have put those above. I thought I was like this like indie country, country fan that I like Sergio Simpson. I did not realize he was like headline sage worthy. I played him before. Well, if he pops, I've never heard of him. I don't think he would like him, and that's okay. I agree. Yeah. But I'm just excited. I love going up San Francisco. It's going to be such a blessing. I'm going with La Croix. Oh, my God. It's so fun. Yeah. And you know, I love my sparkling water. I do know that. Yeah. Yeah. I drink an unhealthy amount of sparkling water. I think it's a new effect in my heart. And I'm not making any medical health claims about any sparkling water, man. At least you'll be hydrated. I don't think it hydrates you. Yes, it does. Can we look at water? But it's sparkling. But it's water and it's core. If it says it hydrates you, I'm going to be in such good mood the rest of the day. Of course it does. Yes, sparkling water is just as hydrating as still water. Yeah. In fact, some may say that the fizz may even enhance its hydrating effects for some people. However, it may take longer to absorb sparkling water than still water. Thank you, Google AI overview. How great is that? That's pretty great. Okay. I have to pee so bad that I'm starting to get nonverbal. Okay. So do you want to head to the bonus? Yes. That sounds good. I'm going to order Jake's- Wait, before we go, I just want to say something because this is not even a conversation I want to have. I just want to say it out loud. I was at a restaurant last week and I was in a good mood, kind of like one of the goofy moods. Oh, come on. Don't grab me. No, I'm just going to pee in my panty. Okay. Just go pee. I'll tell it to the- No, but I want to hear it. Okay. Well, you really have to engage with this because I'd gotten nothing back from when I said it originally. So I was in a kind of fun mood. I'm sitting there and the wait just comes out and it's like, how was your- I forget what I ordered? Like a sandwich or something? How is everything? And I was like, I'm not even going to tell it. Really? Now I'm thinking about it. It's dumb. I understand why what happened happened. I was like, T to the A to the ST, what a girl is tasting. I went on a podcast history and started telling a story and realized halfway through how bad it was, but I had no choice but to keep going. Well, I just finished mine and- No, you didn't finish it. I said T to the A to the ST, what a girl it's tasty. The entire story was that you didn't go to sandwich? No, I did the fergie thing from black eyed peas, T to the A to the ST, what a girl is tasty, D to the E to the L-A-C-I-O-U west to the T to the A to the ST, what a girl is tasty. All right. I got it. I love it. Oh my God. What? I will see you in the bonus. This week on Close Friends, I'm going to go to the doctor and get actual medication. He ended up getting a finger set up his ass. We all collectively have the largest case of ADHD known to man. A tom tom is not just GPS, but it is actually just GPS. Breakfast is a social construct.
