I'm coming at you after the recording of the main episode, which was in a word, fabulous. - It was fabulous. - Truly, I cannot wait for you guys to listen to this. I guess hats out of the cat now that it was a lotta glazer. Like that is like truly out of this world. - Oh yeah. - But I do have a personal announcement that I need to make before we get into the episode, which is that my books sold. (laughing) - Thank you. - Woo hoo. - What a week it's been. - My debut novel is going to be published by Crown Publishing, which is an imprint of Penguin Random House. They have also published normal people and Connor tell them. - And Greenlight by my father, Mr. McConaughey. - Which is really beautiful 'cause that's truly one of the only books you've read, right? - Read in my adult life, yeah. - So it's all coming together. - It is. - I am like pretty beside myself with excitement. What can I tell you? The title is Phoebe Berman's Gonna Lose It. And I've been dying to say Phoebe has been with me for the past four months and she's my best friend. My sister, my family. It's been hard to keep her name in, but now I can just be like, oh, Phoebe, Phoebe, Phoebe, Phoebe. - Yeah. - I can't wait for you guys to meet her. - Phoebe is a young woman with crippling intimacy anxiety. And so she is about to turn 30 and she has not lost her virginity yet. So she has 30 days, she's giving herself 30 days before her birthday to do that. And in those 30 days, you know, a lot happens. - A lot can happen in 30 days. - She might meet some people. There might be some love interests. - There might be. - There might be some therapy appointments. - There might be. - There might be some panic attacks. - There will be. - And there will also be a lot of fun and love and friendship and I just can't wait for you to get your hands on it. And also what I keep forgetting to say, which is also kind of a big deal, it's a two-book deal. So after you get your hands on Phoebe, you will get your hands on something else as well. So yeah, there will be, that's I think the big announcement. There will be more later down the line, such as when it comes out and the cover and such like that. But for now, when somebody asks me what I do, ask me what I do. - What do you do for work? - I'm an author. - Have you written anything that I might have heard of? - My debut novel is actually coming out. - Oh really? - Soon. - What's it called? - Phoebe Berman's gonna lose it. - Oh shut the hell up. - Yeah. - I'll put it on my good reads, want to read. - Please do. - I heard it was on a, no. - It's not anywhere, it's not there yet, but I will let you know when it's there. - Oh that's so exciting, we're all-- - Thank you so much. - We're all so happy for you, Brock. - Yes, that's the big announcement. - So proud of you. - Okay, that's the big thing.

Phoebe is sending her love. - Thank you, here's the episode. (upbeat music) (upbeat music) - And when you say Kelly Clarkson collection, you mean literally this chair? - That chair? - That's a custom piece from Kelly. - Not custom mass produced. - Customly mass produced by our girl, one of our close friends. - These are custom non-Kelly Clarkson. - That's Kelly Clarkson. - So Kelly has a talk show and then she's like, you're seeing me sit in leather club chairs. You might want one that I would put my ass on. - Do you hear the sound that my ass makes on this chair? Do you know what this, luckily everything picks up on the mics? - Oh my gosh, you know what though? The Kelly Clarkson one is smoother and it's not making that same sound. - And you pray as an artist that the Kelly Clarkson collection, Wayfair mass produced chairs, don't do a cover of your song 'cause you're toast bitch. - Yeah, can you just put the mic to your ass as you do that? - I thought you'd never have. - Now check this out. - Oh. - Smooth as butter. - Smooth as butter. - Don't slip. - Are we recording? - Are we recording? I guess that's a question on everybody's lips. - Are they professionals here at TMG Network, of course? - Not yet, but working on it. - Is it the mother of a four month old? Yeah. You could say that. - He knows to record. - He was talking about, he was ready, 7 a.m. - He was recording at 7 a.m. - Yeah. - Okay. - I'm just gonna get some-- - Connor, how about you-- - Extra awkward. - You go ahead, you practice our intro, we've been getting really good at practicing art. - So beautiful. - We've been organic for-- - I'm gonna pass it to you today. - 137 episodes. Welcome back to Brook and Connor Make a Podcast. We have, how you say, there's a certain-- - Joona Sequois do it. - About us today in the studio. - And the Joona Sequois is to our left. Alana Glazer is here today and that's a sentence that I never thought would come out of my mouth, Alana. I do need to get the fan girl out of the way right now so we can just move on. I mean, I'm obsessed with you. You are just my comedy idol and just as a human as well too also. And-- - I'll take the baton forever and just kind of echo. - Yeah, you take the baton. - I'll echo Brooks. Can I have your, just one finger would be great 'cause we've been holding space for you in this studio. - You come up at least every episode, at least once. - Yes. So it's such an honor to have you here today. It's unbelievable. I'm looking over, I'm like, was that chocolate protein by this morning actually like a mushroom bar? Like, what am I looking at? You're here, this is amazing. - A vision. I'm here, I'm so proud of you. - Oh my God. - I'm so impressed by your self-starter dumb, your understanding the landscape and building within it. I am so touched and moved by your little spirits. - Are you crying? - I'm about to. - Me too. - By your sweet little spirits, your zolennial vibe I would have babysat you is kind of the thing that I, you know what I mean? Like I was with Brooski yesterday and I'm just like, as well, I would have babysat her as well and I'm just so moved, you guys. It's so, it's like truly my honor to be here and honor to serve you in the way that you tell me I have. So I really appreciate it. - So that is the episode, you guys. Thank you so much. - Thank you so much. - Thank you guys for listening today. - Oh my gosh, you guys, I'm so sweet. - Oh, Alana, my little sweetie pies, my little babies. - You came to my school. - What? - When I was a freshman, be you. - What? - Yeah. - What happened? - You just, you and Abby did a thing and it was first come, first serve. - What did we do, a talk? - A talk and I will say I did block out those four years of my life. So it's a little fuzzy. - Sure. - But you know I was there seven a.m. 'cause it was first come, first serve. - Oh. - And I had a great time in the line. - Oh, sweet. - Did you get in? - I did 'cause I was one of the first. - Okay, the experience stopped at the line. - 'Cause of the seven a.m. - That's what wasn't true. - Oh, sorry, yeah. I mean it was a fabulous experience. - That's cool. - And I never use that word fabulous. - I've never heard you say that. - I've never said fabulous. Well, that itself is fabulous. Fabulous and you know what else is fabulous? - What? - Human magic. - Oh, thank you. - You're special coming out on December 20th. - That was a gorgeous transition, by the way. - Yeah, thank you. I wanna make sure that we talk about it now because we do tend to go in some different directions sometimes. I really appreciate your focus. - Yeah, thank you, Alana. Fab completely fabulous. - Thank you so much. - And you really touched on something that I feel like we don't talk about a lot and we should be talking about every single day. The fact that what is happening in our bodies when we're pregnant, that is like sorcery. - The entire global society we live in and also what is rising up right now is the denial of the powerful magic we hold in our bodies. - Yes. - It is incredible. We should be sitting in wonder. It is itself, it is life. - Harry Potter could never. It is just like it is. - Oh, he could absolutely never. He is disappearing into the background like Marty McFly, you know, and back to the future. - And do you think the future? - Yes. - Jesus, yes, yes, yes. You know what I mean? Just because of J.K. Rowling. But yeah, I was just saying to your producer, Ryan, who is a four month old, I was like, it's the most incredible experience of my life but it's like, it is life, it is life. And also like the way that we, you know, to choose not to have a baby is equally as powerful 'cause it's like you could do that and you're not. That's fucking cool. - That is. - And it's like nice to like rest. It's always nice to rest. I've always said that. I love rest. I love rest. I love it. Yeah, well, thank you so much. Also, yeah, go ahead. - And it's out on December 20th. - Is that on December 20th? - A lot of special human magic out on December 20th. - On Hulu and Disney Plus worldwide. - It's, it was so fun. It was also so real. Like watching you give a stand up special and it was so you. You know what I mean? - I'm so glad. - It's so interesting 'cause you see a lot of comedians also grow out of, you know, they transition from one type of comedian and then they go through life and then they become, and they were so much you that I saw in Broad City, like OG, and it's just you're just like, you're the same person, but you're evolved more. - Thank you so much. Thank you. - I thought, oh, it was just, it was so crazy and so consistent to see like your humor shines through even with like new experiences. And the way that you describe your pregnancy, it's like, oh, that's new. Like I didn't know this was gonna happen. Hi guys, we wanna take a quick break to the sponsor of today's episode.

We talk about this all the time, because did you, when you had your baby, did you have a coming of age type situation where you're like, I'm not the baby anymore? Oh, for sure. - Right, did we always talk about that? - Oh, yeah, 'cause we're in our 20s, almost in our late 20s. And we're always like, when are we gonna-- - Well, I wouldn't say-- - I wouldn't, you wouldn't say like-- - No, it's all perspective. - I agree. - We're always like, when are we gonna feel like grownups? When is that gonna happen? So we were wondering, does something like that happen when you have a child? - For sure. It definitely does. Also, what's crazy is like you yourself are a baby, also, when you have a baby. It's so like, googoo gaga for the parents as well. And yeah, I would say that is one way to feel adult is to be fully responsible for a little helpless creature. - You said that too, you said they're just helpless and they have rubber neck and everything. - Yeah, like Johnny-- - And I look at other people's babies and I don't feel like, oh, I have a father in sync that just kicked in. I'm like, ew, that's disgusting, that baby looks like, like, goo to me. - Babies, gross you out. - Newborn babies. - I get it. - Yeah, I totally get it. - I mean, I'm surely if I saw yours, I'd be like, that's art. - I mean, that's so sweet. It's like, you know, a lot of people, like, it's so weird to like, you know, how do I say this? I'm like, you know, yeah, me too. Let me like take one inhalation, one exhalation and then speak a sentence. - A group of words. - I take right through those, so from notes. You don't know what you're gonna feel when you become a parent. I was like, I feel really organized around it and like, I've always wanted to be one. And, but some people like get there and they're like, ooh, I don't like this. - Yeah. - I've heard in the last few years a conversation around like, I'm not, people say that they are gonna be better parents of older kids, that they're not such like baby people which I get, I do love babies, but I get it. And also like, it's very different. You see other people's babies and you might be like, or, oh, all right. And your own is different. - Yeah. I feel like it's like when someone talks shit about your sibling, you talk shit about your sibling all the time. As soon as someone's like, yeah, she is a bitch. You say, hey, hey, no, no, no. - That's so true. - But I can talk about my sister, you know, she's a bitch. - Absolutely, yeah. - But you can't do that. - Yeah, right. But what feels like growing up to you guys, you're in your very early 20s, almost a teen, you could almost say. - And you've built this show and following what feels in this world, you know, this is like a world that you have like, do not feel grown up. And you're like, we have this success, but we don't feel grown up, what's your deal? - I don't feel grown up yet. I did just get a cat, and I'm not comparing my cat to a human baby, even though it can be tempting sometimes. That's the most grown up I've ever felt. - Oh my gosh, on the plane yesterday, there were two individuals, I think they were a human couple. And they each had like, wraps, like chest wraps of dogs and I just ordered a baby. - I just ordered a baby Bjorn. - A baby Bjorn for your cat. - I just ordered a baby Bjorn for Jonathan. - Wow, yeah. - And I never thought I'd be the one to do it. - Yeah, trust me, I got him a few months ago, I didn't even like cats. - Wow. - To transition from not liking cats to baby, Bjorn that quickly, almost that's an animal instinct. That's motherhood, well, I can't speak to motherhood. - But that's what I'm talking about. - I assume that's something clear. - It's like this love inside of you bursts open, and it's like, it's shocking. That is how my special human magic begins. The joy of parenting is shocking. How hard it is, like you're kind of prepared for it 'cause that's like all anyone can fucking bitch about every time, which I totally get, it's like so hard. But I think if we sat in wonder of the joy, capitalism would come to a halt. I love that so much because I was listening to it. - Husker chills, by the way. - I love it, oh my God, I'm chilling the youth. - I was listening to one of your interviews. - Oh my God. - And you were saying that like the messaging behind motherhood is very much like March Simpson-y, like kind of like funky. - Yeah. - And I think that's so true and just like the joy that you've brought to the concept of being a mother and being pregnant and giving birth in your special is just, it's so exciting for me as somebody who would love to do that one day. It's, it gives me something to look forward to. - I'm so glad. And it's like, it is, I so appreciate what you're saying about the continuation from Broad City to babes to human magic because I've, I've been Jacobson. My Broad City partner went to art school and her parents were artists and she was always like able to claim that role of an artist in a way that I was like, I don't know, I'm kind of more of a chimney sweep who does comedy, you know? And like the way that she like took it on, I always admired and learned from her. And I'm really arriving there now and able to see the whole like just being and living my life and then working on it in my therapy practice. And then once I've figured it out enough, let it go into art and like release it into the world. And, but you can feel in human magic, like the Broad City vibes around, the stoner vibes around getting pregnant. Like, you know, as you saw in the special, like it's like I smoked a little bit when I was- - I was asked about that. - And I drank a touch, you know what I mean? But then at a certain point, and you may, I'm just gonna finish this sentence really quick. - No. - But then like you, I, then I really didn't need to anymore because like I'm tripping my balls off pregnant. - Tripping my balls off the drug of its own. - There's like a person going like this, you know what I mean? - Oh my God. - It's crazy, it was, it's fucking incredible. - It's incredible. - Incredible. - I have question. - Please. - Do you ever wake up? You know when you go to sleep in a hotel room and you wake up and you, you're like, where am I? Like you wake up in the morning. Like where's the restroom? What's the layout of this place? I mean, like I'm supposed to be in my room. Do you ever wake up and you've got like an eight month old being in your body and you're like, whoa, what the hell just moved? Like is there a spider on me, spider? - Yeah, you know what the other thing to the point of what I was saying earlier, this conversation, especially from mothers of like, I'm just not a baby person. And I'm, you know, which like respect for like being able to locate that and say it. A lot of people also like you get pregnant and it's like the thing you gotta do to make a person. But like a lot of people don't like it or it freaks them out, which I totally get. I think once closer to the end, I was like, whoa, like it was like, it felt like I wasn't like watering a plant, but I was like renting the main area of my house. You know, it's like, as though you have like reconstruction, I've never done like a renovation, but people like complain about their renovations or whatever. And it's like, they can't use their kitchen or what, it was like, I can't use the kitchen, you know. So I get it, but I found it so fascinating that I did enjoy it, but yes, where am I? Sometimes you forgot. No. Oh, you never forget. Oh God. Now, also my, as you know, for my special, my titties were, they didn't let you forget. And I walk you through, like I got big titties young and they've sort of been like leading me around the world, like in organizing my existence. But then when I was pregnant, I was like drowning in my titties, they were like choking me out. They were, they were up here. As I tell ya, they were hitting my chin. So I couldn't forget because I couldn't breathe because my titties were choking me out. Wow. And these are things like, they just don't tell you. Nobody tells you, and no one tells you. Systematically unlearning. Systematically keeping women from knowing our own bodies so that we don't realize how powerful we are. Why don't we know anything about our bodies? I learned so much just from babes and your special, which obviously I'm so glad I did and you are truly doing the Lord's work, but like, I should've learned that 100%. So long ago, as you saw in my special, I puked foam. I puked foam when I was pregnant, foam. And then I tell my mother, I'm all worried, thinking she's gonna really give a shit and she's like, oh no, I did that too. As I bet you didn't tell me. I think we're all puking foam. Whoa. What do you mean? No, that was just kind of what your mom, to me, like what you said, like, yeah, we're all puking foam. We just don't talk about it. Yeah, yeah. Did you ever figure out what the foam was? I think it's like, just like pregnancy, bile. I don't know. I don't know, like weird, pregnancy, latte puke. Oh, latte. This episode of Brooke and Connor Make-A-Bodcast is supported by Sea Farm.

State Farm is there with the coverage you need for your car, your hum, or even boats, motorcycles, RVs, and other things that matter to you. Listen guys, adulthood is already exhausting enough as it is. Oh my gosh, where do I begin about how hard adulthood is? Let me think of something, actually. Oh, for example, right now I'm figuring out where I'm going to spend the holidays. I'm planning, I'm in about five group texts. Everyone wants me there. Everyone wants me at theirs. But I got to flip a coin, an eight-sided coin that I have to find, I have to get my hand on one of those. But luckily one of the parts of adulthood that doesn't have to be complicated is insurance, thanks to State Farm. With a State Farm agent, someone is there to help you get the coverage you need.

So when you need help protecting the things that matter most, remember to say, like a good neighbor, State Farm is there. - And I also didn't know about birthing the placenta. Which girl feels like a big thing that I should know. - Girl, so this is a thing from Babes, my movie with Michelle Bito, also on Hulu, and maybe Disney Plus, but definitely on Hulu. Yeah, as I was writing that movie with Josh Rabinowitz, who had, he and his wife had their baby, his wife and their baby. Just a couple of months before I had mine, we were like, that was a crazy part that we didn't know his wife isn't in women's health. She's in reproductive justice in women's health. And we just didn't even know. And it's like hard 'cause you're pushing something. It's as heavy as a baby. - We did a little segment because we really pride ourselves on transparency here on the podcast and not knowing what seems to be basic knowledge. - I love it. - And we go through it and we learn these things. - I'm so with you. - And we had no shock because it started with us 'cause we'd started the conversation around placentas because people, like, according to Kardashian, had created supplements, placenta supplements. And I was like, should I take those? I'm always, I keep an open mind. - I love it. - And turns out, no, I would not receive any benefit from eating placentas. - Oh, really? - From consuming someone else's placenta. Nothing there. - That honestly surprises me. - 'Cause I think it was full of vitamins. I kept my placenta and made them ice cubes and put them in my smoothies. - Whoa. - Okay. - I had, how-- - This is being too exclusive right now, I feel like. - Do you have to, like, blend it? I don't even think I know what a placenta looks like. - It looks like a slab of meat. It looks like an organ. - Wow. - And a cool woman named Wendy took it. And then did what she did with it and put it into like an ice cube tray. And then I would put it in my smoothie and I didn't taste it or anything like that. - Wow. - But I was like, I made, you made nutrients. I might as well benefit from them. - Wow. - And you know. - Rockin', right? Like fucking hard. - That fires me up. - And she did a whole thing. - Placenta, lazy. - Yeah. (laughs) Yeah, I mean, it's amazing. And it is worth being in wonder of. And I appreciate your-- - Oh my god, no, I lose words. - When we-- - Oh, I love it. Magic. - It is, it's human magic. And I do feel like, and then we talked about Harry Potter, there's so many corridors and things in Harry Potter. I'm like, how did you guys not know that there was like a massive three-headed dog in that room? And it's like, for the same way about the placenta, that's our massive three-headed dog that's just like, you create in your body. Like, how, where was that? - I've never seen or read any of it. So I have no idea what you're talking about. I know about-- - I just got a-- - Voldemort? - You what? - I just, I'm sorry. - You got a little kick? - I'm sorry, I'm on a Harry Potter kick. - Oh, oh, I thought you meant from a baby. - I think a little kick. - I did have a green smoothie this morning, so I'm sure there will be a little kick at some point. - Voldemort's a thing, right? - Voldemort is a thing. - And that's evil. - Reef finds, yes. - That's what I know of Harry Potter. - Yes, that's-- - And of course, the three children who are now grown-ups. - Right. - Yes. - But, yeah, just like watching those, it's just like, that's, this is really, truly nothing compared to what happens in a woman's body. It's just like totally absolutely fake and fantasy. And it's like, why are we focusing on this? - Completely. - What's happening? Where we come from, it's not like, it's not like one, you have to be the person who birds to enjoy the wonder of it. We come from this, which is crazy. - Did you know that you were technically, and I saw this in TikTok, so take it with a grain of salt, but also I don't see how it's not true, you were in your grandmother's stomach, and because your mom had all of the eggs that she was ever going to have when she was in there. - Oh my God. - And by stomach, you uterus, uterus, of course, that is what I meant. - Right, right. - Yes. - Stomach would be bad. - That would be bad. - That would be bad. - That would be pooping eggs. - That would be horrible. - Yeah, uterus. - But that's right, so my baby had all her eggs when she was born, so if she chooses to have children in the future, I had those eggs. - In my womb. - Oh my God, not sorry. - That's crazy. - Let me say it. - You're already very close with your potential future grandchildren. - Come on, I'm obsessed. - You're one of them. - I'm obsessed with them. - Me too. - Are you gonna be like mama bear? That's as far as I can go. Does anyone else know what I mean? Like mama bear's unite. I don't know how to explain it. It's like a really online term. I don't know how-- - Mama bear's unite is an online term. - Well, so basically, one time I said, don't give your babies an iPad. Like have some respect, just give them a Benadryl, like a good parent. - On a plane? - I got attacked by the mama bears. I was drinking big, felt like it was clear. Don't give your newborn a Benadryl. Give them a little whiskey like they used to. But I also a joke, mama bears. But the mama bears are like this a really aggressive, they don't really mess around with their kids. - Health, not community of people online that are like, do you know what I'm talking about? - I mean, I remember when you did that. - When you did that. - Did you get pissed? Did I get dragged into it? - I kind of just sat there and took it in, nodded. And I mean, I understand, it's tough when you're, I see both, I see both communities. I see you as the comedian trying out new material. And I see the mama bears wanting to protect. - Right, well, I want to be clear, I was not giving anyone else's children Benadryl as well. I was just doing a thing, like you're not putting air pods in your children's ears as they play Cocomelon on the flight out loud. So maybe a Benadryl would be-- - Cocomelon is really bad. - Is it? - A Cocomelon. - Bad Cocomelon. It is designed to distract children and hold their attention in visually dangerous ways that genuinely destroys parts of their brains. It's made by AI and the system in which it is made is not a good one to work in. So, Brittany Browski also mentioned Cocomelon, are you guys young enough that you were exposed to Cocomelon? - Like not as a child, but I do, it does suck me in if it's on, and I'm your children. - Oh, this has to be straight. But that's great. - Okay. - That's good stuff. - Okay. - But Cocomelon is literally dangerous for brain health. - I believe it, it's like mush, it's like-- - Yeah, the moment a baby's about to get distracted, it explodes color over here. It's truly like crack or like a drug, like a bad drug for kids. So let's just put that message out. - That's good. - That's good. - Don't show your children Cocomelon. - Okay, great. - Cocomelon is now. - Mama Bear, so what are you asking me? - That's a good question. - The other question I have to ask you is, do you guys know what the wellness to alt-right pipeline is? - We're very familiar with it. - Yes, we are very very-- - So are the Mama Bear as part of that? - I would say they're teetering on being so in their ways that now they're not listening to professionals, that's what I'll say. - Yeah, so yes, they're on that pipeline. Yeah, so then I guess I would say you were just making a joke and let it roll off your shoulder. - Yeah. - Okay. - Do you show your daughter any iPad content or anything like that? I don't know how to-- - Like on a flight? - Like bluey? - We'll do like, yeah. We watch TV, but I like when it's further away. So there's a world around the entertainment that she's remembering. She's not allowed to hold a phone. We stopped that. - Wow. - We had to sort of work that out, but it was like, no, like it makes your world, in my opinion, it makes my kids world too small, and I don't want her to hold even a phone. But for the iPad, she can definitely FaceTime family. And even on long drives, on drives we're stuck in like talk, which is nice, and we'll listen to music, flights maybe. But we watch truly plenty of TV, but longer storylines. And we also try to talk about it as it's happening, so it's an activity we're engaging in. Sometimes I walk away to go full the laundry or grab the laundry to then fold next to her. But yeah, I want to limit short-form content. And I think that discussing character arcs is useful, can be useful. - I was watching Sesame Street the other day, actually. There was a segment where Andrew Garfield was talking about the grief that he's experienced, I know, with losing his mother. And I mean, hysterically like sobbing, and I think that that was so powerful. And I think such a gift for children to be able to watch something like that. - That was so beautiful. - So beautiful. So I feel comfortable saying on "Process Me Street." Does that sound right? - 100% - 100%. - Okay, 100%. - They nailed it. Sesame Street nailed it. I also think there's a lot of programs like that that now when I look back, I'm like, "Oh my God, double messaging. "Like the parents are sitting here "and I just got a new message from this piece of content "that I saw hundreds of times as a kid." They're like, "That's fun." And I'm like, "SpongeBob is a big one for me." And I'm like, "Oh my God, that is such a deeper message." Yes. - See, like I watched SpongeBob. I was in high school and I was like using weed at the time. And it was more just like funny and silly, but I never got a deeper message, but I haven't really revisited it. - What kind of deeper messages are you getting? - I might need to look back and make sure that I'm thinking of SpongeBob. I did have a panic attack during that new animated movie inside out or like the emotion one, fully about death. No, thank you. I like started thinking about it too a hundred and I'm sorry. - Wait about death? - Wasn't it about death? - Soul. - Oh, soul. - Yeah. - I kind of wish that I had learned about that young and that we talked about it so that it wasn't so scary. I mean, it freaked me out the nothingness that they portray in that movie, which is like so fun for this little blob of animation blue color, like really sweet. But then as an adult, you're like, "Oh my God, he's dead. "He's so dead." - Were you high? - No. - Question. - If I would have been high, I would have, I think, caught on fire. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I'm serious. - I enjoyed soul, but inside out too. Did you guys see it? - Mm-hmm. - Not yet. I was, it's so good. Inside out one is so good. Inside out two was so good. I was sobbing. It's about a teeny, Riley, the main character is a teenager now or like a tween. And it's about anxiety. And I was, I so related to it. I was uncontrollably sobbing. My daughter was sitting on my lap and she, I was sobbing so hard. She goes like this. She goes, "Get a grip." (laughs) And I was like, "I know, I know." You know, like I, it was, I was sobbing. She was like, you know, misty-eyed. My husband was like misty-eyed tearing up, but I was sobbing. It was so good. And such a relief, like such a great container for a release of motion. - Hi guys. - We wanna take a quick break, break, break, break, break, a little tiny break to thank a sponsor of today's episode.

This is America's number one meal kit. Wow. Do you ever get high to watch those types of movies? Yeah. I wanted to ask you about like being high and being a mother and mothering at the same time. Do you, how does that impact mothering, I guess? Because when I smoke and I know everyone has a different experience, everything just seems so, I guess, magical and like elevated. Do you have that experience while smoking and mothering? I'm saying that like drinking and driving, but I mean like positive connotation smoking and mothering? For sure. I don't really, oh, I smoke a little. I do, it hits as you saw in "Human Magic" and blow it out the hood fan above the stove. Right. I do that and I live alone. Yeah. (laughing) Like the first and foremost is like, it is so trippy. I am so like tripping balls and in amazement with the magic of my daughter unfolding before my eyes that like I don't really, it's not so much like this decision. It like kind of either happens or doesn't. It's not, I'm not so organized around the weed, but I'm organized around is like just turning off my phone and stopping working and turning my brain off so I can be present. But I would say also like becoming a parent is like an incredibly effective way to learn your limitations and to accept them. So I don't like, I wouldn't get high and go outside with her. I can't handle that shit. You know what I mean? But like to like get a little high and watch something, yeah, or like take a bath. It's like, oh, I could, and then I'm not rushing to get out. You know, I'm like a little high and you know, yeah. I have never related to anything more than when you said, I have earned every time I feel chill on weed because I earned that with the first 10 minutes being like pushing off a panic attack. That's right. I think I said it in way too many words, but you were like, my chill session when I am high is an earned one. I'll give it to you succinctly, my friend Connor. In human magic, I reflect on of the thousands of times I've gotten high in my life. I have never once gotten high in immediately chilled. I have exclusively gotten high, had a panic attack and then earned my chill. Have you ever gotten high, had the panic attack and then not earned the chill and just kept going with the panic attack? Oh, I mean, no, I think maybe I would earn it more violently. (laughing) Chill out. Like, you eventually get there, but it's like, how hard is it to get there? It's nice when it's like gentler, right? Like the more even, if you're just like, ooh, I'm a little nervous, it's okay, it's okay. But if you're nervous and you're like, where are you a fucking idiot? Are you a loser that you can't just chill out? You know, and then-- - Die one day, by the way. - Yeah, what'd you say? - No, that was my own conversations that I have. - You'll die one day. - You're afraid of death, and which makes sense. You know what I mean, that makes sense. - That's-- - We both perfectly normal. - We both die. - Yeah. - I have a dog who's not with me right now, he's, I just finished a comedy tour, so he's been with my parents while I was touring. And it was really nice to be a little high in my house and like have a dog, 'cause he's like, some people like it. - That is insane to see an animal, like to have an animal jump up on your bed after a gummy. - Well, having lived with a dog for so long and then getting a little bit high and then being like, he's on my house. And I'm like, what were those noises 10 minutes ago? - He wasn't in a house. - 'Cause it's usually, no, because then, you know, I get a little high, I convince myself, I'm like, I start hearing things like, I'm behind you. - Like, and I'm like, you know, I start hearing-- - What are you smoking? - I'm only doing edibles, but I'll convince myself. - You know what's like crazy too, is like, I started like really smoking when I was about 17. And like, I like lost my damn mind at times, especially in college, when I was like, had all this pressure on myself, I wanted to pursue comedy, get into comedy. What the fuck am I doing at college? College was so uncomfortable and why you like, everything was so intense and weed can be really powerful. And I, you know, just want to warn you. - Well, I think weed is different now too. I think that's the way-- - Yeah, not your grandmother's weed. - It is not your grandmother's weed. - Yeah, it's not your grandmother's weed. - It's like there's no shwaggy weed to be found. And sometimes you want that, you know? - Who knew that your grandmother would have you inside of her before your mother was born knowing that you were going to be smoking Delta 8 in 2024? - You do have to be careful. We does really intense these days and we live in such an addictive culture. I've started getting this messaging about, yeah, that like weed is more potent than it maybe should be. - Yeah, and there's like added, I don't know. I mean, I'm kind of talking out of my ass, but I think there's just like more added, yeah, materials. Also, bad transition, but another question. Do you feel like weed inspires you creatively? Like, do you smoke and write? - I can't really actually write. There were times in the Broad Cities. There were times in the Broad City writers room that we'd maybe be stuck and I'd get a little high and we'd go for a walk. - Reminds yourself, yeah. - So writing regarding getting movement and a different perspective, yes, but I can't write. I can't get high and sit and write, but I used to pretend that I could. I was like, it's bad enough for all of a shit. - Yes. - No, it's not part of my process. It's like literally impossible for me. - That's actually a really good suggestion to do a walk instead of trying to force yourself to type like. - Because like half of writing is stepping away from the writing. - Yeah, that's so true. Which is a hard thing to, it's again this pressure that I sense you guys and especially you have on yourself and you want to stick with the thing and it's like, in fact, it is related to death. You know what I mean? - Good. - Life is good, good, good. Like life is nothing without death. It wouldn't be life. - Right. - And it's like writing is nothing without like stepping away from it. - I had this professor in college who I seriously have never hated any, like I don't want to hate that many people. - Oh my gosh. - But he just had this like power complex where he would grade our creative ideas and give them a letter grade or a number grade and I was like, I hate you. This is a good idea. - How did, go ahead, sorry. - No, but the one thing that he gave me that I retained really well was you need an outlet that has nothing to do with what you do professionally. - Right, right. - So that you remove yourself and then you can set back in and have flow state. - Right, perhaps that is what my child is for me because I like don't really have hobbies. You know, and I don't have a dog. I'm also like, I really have been enjoying like doing skincare, you know, I just like an hobby. And I'm like, is this my home? - Yes, that's a totally valid hobby. - It is something you don't really consider it art. (laughing) - Truly. And I love watching videos with skincare too. - I know, I know, I know. - It's like, but it's true. Like you need to step away from the thing for sure. - Yeah, we also struggle with finding hobbies 'cause every time I find a hobby, I'm like, how can I monetize this? - I know. - And it's like, no, no, no, no, no, just enjoy it. Like put your phone away, you can't monetize walks really unless I bring my phone and I can make it. - That's my thing, that's my thing. It's like walking and talking. I just love talking. I love like getting dinner with friends, cooking. Like you're basic, you're all hopping out. - That's a hobby. - Walking is storytelling, and that's a hobby. - And then you record it and make a podcast. - It's truly, it's hard to not keep feeding the cycle and to pass from it. It really is. - Especially like the entertainment situation, it's like, okay, this could be a video, this could be a TikTok, like we could use this to promote something else and it's like, shut up, shut up. - And it does so organically feed into your life flow. - Right. - I totally relate. Do you guys turn your phones off? - Oh God, no, whatever. I need, I think my cat thinks my phone is a part of my body. Your cat is kind of correct. - It's the way that my pinky is shaped. - Yeah, it is changing our bodies and becoming part of it. - Have a shelf on it. - Like even when you fall asleep, Alana, it's under my pillow. - Yeah, yeah, horrible. There's like this thing we human beings have still at this point called Will. - Mm-hmm, free will. - I might have lost free will, but I don't think so. I see a human spark that is just shining bright and it's like, if you can just turn it off as you saw in human magic, that's like truly what I consider Shabbat. I turn my phone off on Friday night and I'm like, I'm a rabbi pretty much and this is Shabbat and I recommend it. - Shabbat, I'm gonna do that as well. - I should be observing Shabbat and that feels like a beautiful way. - Once a day to turn it off like to go to sleep is what I do and then also when I can, Friday night, Friday it's a dent, Saturday it's a dent and it gives me peace and reminds me of a time at which my phone was not an extension of my consciousness. - Yeah, sometimes I just get scared like what if something happened? - Totally. - Maybe I should get a landline, totally. - Maybe, maybe I should get a landline as well. We can chat. - Maybe we should bring back landlines. - Or AOL Messenger, although we'd have to do that on a phone. - I guess you don't have to turn off your computer. - I would like to be able to-- - I would set an away message on my, I message be like, hey, I'm observing Shabbat, so find someone else for this. - I actually just remembered speaking of Shabbat, a story that I learned at Hebrew school. I actually might have told this before. - Hit us again. - That completely like cured my fear of death, if anyone wants to hear it, please. - The Jell-O theory. - He told me that, and I actually don't remember exactly how he told the story, but basically there's a mother who has twins in her uterus, and the twins are about to come out into this world, and they're basically like, goodbye, it was nice, it was nice knowing you, because that's the only life that they've ever known, and they think that they're essentially about to die. But really what's happening is that they're being born into this life, so basically we're the twins now, and we don't know what's coming, and that healed me. - I love that. - That's beautiful. - Thank you. - Some people refer to death as a transition. - Yeah, it's a transition. - And I appreciate it. Transition out of the womb. - Never in my life did I think we would touch on death so many times with you here. - It's such a theme for you. - It is for everybody, but like it's very interesting to me what's coming up for you. - No. - Sometimes talking about it helps. - Yeah. - And sometimes it hurts. You let us know where you stand right now, and how we can help. - How do you feel right now about death? - Hold up, you guys, seriously, one second.

This deals exclusive to listeners, so get yours now in time for the holidays, terms and conditions apply. I have a question for you, actually, another one. Do you feel, because I feel this way, to my unborn children that are just a twinkle in my eye right now, in my glazed-over eye? Do you feel like you live vicariously through your daughter at all? Like, I always wanted to be good at skiing, really. Guess who's gonna be skiing? (laughing) - I'm sure that I will, but I'm definitely like aware of the mistake of that and trying so hard not to project my past experiences onto her as her own. So I definitely do already make that. It's a mistake, I consider it a mistake. I do already, but I'm working really hard not to. But you know what, I guess, the thing that is really happening is that you're reliving your own experience. So that's kind of what I'm trying to do, is reflect on that and heal from the trauma that I've experienced, rather than think it's about her, 'cause she's having her own whole thing. But it's definitely a practice. - My mom made me do piano lessons for so long and I hated it, I hated it, I hated my teacher, I hated going to her house, it smelled so bad, the lights were off, I was like, this is just like not-- - The lights were off? - The lights were off, I was like-- - That's scary. - Which is a theater teacher. So it's kind of just, I know. - Honestly makes it riskier to me. - You justify a lot of things. - Yeah, turn the lights on, babe. - Just flip them on, 'cause I could see the notes easier. - 'Cause I'm a child and I'm alone in your house with you, like inappropriate, yeah. - I agree, hindsight's 50/50. - But I, I'm sitting there and I'm learning this thing over and over and over again and I was like, as soon as I'm allowed to stop doing this, I'm done, I'll never look at the piano again. Ever get that, I wish I did that, but my mom has a piano in her house that she's never learned and it's like, oh my God, I was learning it for you. - It's also like, girl, get a piano lesson. - Get a piano lesson. - That's fine, that's like, dad, that's your dream. - That's from high school musical. - Oh, that makes sense. - That's so funny, does Zach everyone say that? - Is that, that's not my dream? - No, I don't know, Zach doesn't say, I would know if Zach said that. - You would, sorry, I think it's just like a typical-- - I think it's a typical like coming of age. - Dad, that's your dream, I love that. - Oh fuck. - And I really like, I have thought deeply about like, if I have a son and he wants to do sports over musical theater, like, that's something I'll have to support and it will be-- - Got wrenching. - It will be gut wrenching, but I am prepared to, I'm prepared to go to the soccer games and you're gonna have to like create a musical theater experience for yourself to like work it out. - Exactly. - You could listen to him dancing through your life. - Yeah, I can live my dream and let my son live his. - Totally. - Yeah, that's something that we can do. You can still learn to play the piano now. - You're empowering me, right here on our Kelly Clarkson Wait Fair Collection channel. - Yeah, and the costumes too. But I thought your chairs weren't the Kelly Clarkson. - I mix it up every time and broke gentle parents, me to remind me. Actually, I think you've kind of get gentle parent given up. - No, I did, I just flagged it. I'll never give up undermining you. These are the original customs. - Right. - And a lot of these are really custom chairs. - These are custom chairs. - These are custom. - Gorge. - Oh my God. - We really were excited about the library. - I end beautiful, very high end. Good job. - And the grown up shit. - That's some grown up shit. - It is grown up shit. - Really? Wow. - Custom chairs. - Custom chairs. - For your YouTube show. - That's for our grown up. - For our grown up. - That's adult shit. - It's very true. - It is. - That's a good thing to flag. 'Cause it's like sometimes the grown up things fly under the radar and you don't even realize. - And they're being redefined. Like the grown up shit that like baby boomers and their parents, the greatest generation LOL, scripted as mature are such baby-ish fucking things. So absolutely keep redefining what adulthood is because you are the thought leaders in the space. - That's so true. And I also think it's hard to feel like an adult because our parents, I know my mom had already had me by the age that I am now. So it's hard to be like, oh, I'm a grown up when my parents were like so quote unquote ahead. - But that's like an external thing. You know what I mean? Growing up is actually an internal thing which is separating from your mother. - Yes. - Yeah. And knowing who you are. Like you don't have to have a kid to do that. - Yeah. - I love the tweets that are like, you're all moving at your own pay, like everyone's moving at your own pace. And you're like, yeah. And then it's like, it's okay to wait until 32 to have a baby and I'm like, okay, hold on. - How about like, how about 40 years? Come on, come on now. You know what's crazy? I think about this all the time. We talked about this one time. When I was watching Broad City for the first time, I was in college. And we were illegally streaming it and airplane it. Or no, we had an H.E. My Court. And we would dangle a laptop from the fireplace from to the TV. And I was like, oh. Like there, these girls are figuring it out. And there's so much time to figure it out. And now I watch it back. I go, these girls are figuring. I watch it back still. These girls are figuring it out. And then you say, I mean, I don't know. I'm already 24. Oh my God. You were 24 in that show. Like your character, were you? - I was 27 when the show first aired. - Okay. - I was 22 when we started making the web series. - Okay. - I was 24 when we sold our first script to FX. - Wow. - And then Comedy Central picked it up. I was 25. Well, committed to making the pilot. And then it was on the air and I was 27. - Yeah. - I was always interesting. Are you saying like, you watch something and you're like, I have so much time. And then you watch it back when you're older and you're like, oh. - Well, I didn't, yeah. I didn't catch when I was 18, watching for the first time. - Right. - The age. - Right. - But now I think I'm so hyper aware of like where people are. And like, I'm like, oh, they've just moved to the city. I don't know what age I thought I put on Broad City when I was 19, 18. But then now I look back and I'm like, oh my God, those are children. - You know, notorious VIG, Biggie Smalls. He was 24 when he was killed. - Yeah. - When I was a kid, I thought he was like 50 years old. - Yeah. - And like, you know, systemically, like what he was talking about was way older than he should have had to deal with. He was 24 when he was killed. A literal like brilliant artistic kid. - Yeah. - That is some crazy shit. - Couldn't rent a car. - Couldn't rent a car. - Yeah. - Wise, wise beyond his years. And so, yeah, age, age is a social construct. - It's so funny though, for you to think, for you to think of the Broad City girl says so old 'cause we were so, you know, like the tip of the day the tip of the spear was that we were young and dumb. - Well. - In a fun way. - Yeah. - When you're 17 and 18, you hear someone's 20 doing, you're like, what the fuck? - Yeah. - I'm never between 23. - We're smoking and we're fucking, we're living on our own. - Pass. - Yeah. - Like you're about to die. - Yeah, I used to think that like, I remember in like second grade, I was like looking ahead at fifth grade as the final year in elementary school. And I was like, I'm not gonna make it. - Yeah. - I never saw myself past 11, 100%. Then when I was in sixth grade, I was like, I'm not gonna make it to high school, I will probably die like in an eighth grade. - That's not normal because I also always felt that way. - I am wondering now if it's Jewish. That could very well be. - But you seem goyish and you seem very focused on death. - I hang out with Brooke a lot. - Yeah. - Yeah, I think I've, like since I hung out with her, I got IBS from her, so I didn't contagious. How does that work? I was most sister IBS. - I get it. - I had a dog, a Labrador who wouldn't go in the rain. And I was like, I guess you're a Jewish dog. - That would be a. - Yeah, that was more nurture than nature. - All of our dogs have been severely mentally ill. - Right, right. - Yeah, via mental illness. - Yeah, so I believe it. And I'm sorry about your IBS. You should try cillium husks. - I think I'm not. - Like fibrous husks of like a grain that you mix with water and swallow and it helps like bring fiber to your poops. - So everyone on our podcast, which has somehow turned into like a gastroenter, an ontology, whatever the word is. Someone helped me. I had a stroke, everyone's been keeping up with my stomachache journey. Which like, 'cause if you look back a year, you two years, I was like, you guys are adults. Like why do you have a stomachache? - Well, when I met you, you weren't even comfortable talking about poo. Out loud. Which is. - Publicly. - Which is very related to death. - What? - Yes. 'Cause poop when you die. 'Cause you poop when you die and it's also like, and when you give birth. - Yeah, life's not good. - That's right. That's right. And it's sort of like about. - Pooped coming in here. I'm gonna poop on the way out. - The waste that's like gone from you. Like you will be gone one day. And also just, you know, disappear. - So poop's been a metaphor for death this whole time. - It is related to it. I didn't articulate it well. - No, I-- - Is very related to death. I'm so-- - I'm seeing you. - Like anal retention also. It's like you don't want to let go of your life. You might be holding on to life real hard. - I heard you mentioned way at the beginning of the episode, your therapy practice? Did I? - Yeah. - Are you a therapist? - No, but I'm in a lot of therapy. - Okay. - That's a lot of practicing therapy with-- - I'm in a lot of it. - Because you just bully. Like I caught on through the upset. I'm like, a lot of like intuition. Just like all of these wise. - Well also like I'm having this experience since in Declurb. And then also like I'm here doing all this like YouTube stuff. And I'm and you know, lots of podcasts. And I'm really like confronting my cultural babies, which is what I consider you. And so I'm really reflecting on my Broad City journey artistically and creatively. And I've developed, like I was saying, I've developed this like sort of practice of like each like sort of bucket in my life feeding itself from actual life and being, well I won't say actual life. It's all my life. But like being and pausing productivity to like working on it. 'Cause I need a lot of fucking help 'cause I'm depressed and anxious by nature. And then working on it so much that I can create about it. And then releasing it pooping it out and letting it just exit. Like we will one day exit this world. So I'm just like really noticing your energy and relating to it. And like sort of, yeah, relating to it. - Oh my God. - Wow. - That's really beautiful. - I've known we had a connection just via poop this whole time. Poop and death and there's only three true things in the world, taxes poop and death. - Yeah, taxes poop and death. - Everybody poops, everybody dies. - Yeah. - That could be the following. - And not everybody does their taxes or taxes though. - Wow. Yeah. That's so damn true. You have something just like you want. - I have been, I don't know how to bring it back to pregnancy and the uterus. But I was watching babes again last night. - Oh my goodness, Brooke, thanks. I appreciate it. And I'm so moved. - Like truly. (laughs) - Like one of my favorite movies. It's so good. - Thank you so much. - But I learned, you know, two things from babes. Water breaking. - Mm-hmm. - I didn't know that it could be like a trickling and a misting, my understanding of water breaking was it's this big dramatic moment. And now I'm learning you might not even feel it. - Yeah, in babes, I like go on and on about, you know, in the movies it's this monsoon whoosh, but it really can be trickling. It's, I shouldn't give away someone else's. Someone in my life who I work with had a monsoon whoosh of a water breaking. She's a publicist on somebody else's photoshoot. Like your water breaking on a white psych of your client's photoshoot. Yeah, how like crazy is that, Jen? But my water, I think had to be broken at the hospital. Sometimes it's a trickle and you're like, what is that? And it's like your water broke, you're in labor. And somebody might not be feeling the contractions. So there's a variety of ways in which your water can break or not at all and they have to break it. And now I'm wondering what even is the water that I should, like that's something I should know. You know, it was an, no, you shouldn't know it. You have been, the entire world has been organized to make sure you don't know it. Don't beat yourself up for that. Yeah, like the whole, but that's even just wild to think about. The power structure we live in, which is now rising as global authoritarianism, is to make sure you don't know your own feelings and emotions because feelings are felt in the body and so that you don't know how your body works. It's like really scary, but it's really scary. So why don't we know about this? I don't know, I mean, I do, LOL, I just said it. But your water breaking can be many things. There's also this thing called a muckel plug. Do you know about that? I might have heard of the muckel plug. So that plugs up the water, I think. I think the water is, I don't know, I don't know. Well, that's something for me to learn later. Yes, we could even-- But it like unplugs and then the water comes out. So if you're like all plugged up-- And something that you won't feel that I'm plugging. I don't think you'll feel it. It's also like, it's everything's so sensitive and wild and you can't even like see, you know what I mean? Underneath that it's like, it is helpful, or I found it helpful to have a partner for sure. And I was like, what's going on down there? Yeah, what's happening? Yeah, fully and truly, fully and truly. Oh my gosh, if that happened to me. You know, I'll do something I was thinking about during babes is that we talk so much about like how big of a deal birthing is, but there's also all of the things that are so scary leading up to it and the men are just like so brave, like the amnio, that's what it's called, right? Yes, oh my gosh. The size of that, like that's the first time I've ever seen. It's a test, it's a test. Yeah, so if you have like a predisposition to genetic abnormalities or if you're 35 or older, 35 or older is considered a geriatric pregnancy. Keyword, yeah, yep. So because my character in babes, Eden, named after my best friend Eden, Rhys, shout out to Eden. Oh, Davis, LOL, I said her, I made a name. So my character Eden, her partner is not available, let's say. And so they do this test in amniocentesis to see if there are genetic abnormalities 'cause they can't also test the father. And it literally is like a cartoon one foot needle that goes through the bellich into my bellich. Do you guys know what's in powers? Yeah, okay, great. So it goes through the bellich. Oh my God. And you go like to the placenta and then pull out like a sample so that you can genetically test those cells. But like, are you kidding me? That is so scary. Why aren't we talking about it? Why aren't we just congratulating women who've gotten an amniocentesis or congratulating pregnant people who've gotten an amniocentesis? That's feeling as almost as big as the birth to me right now. Absolutely, absolutely. And you'll definitely have to get that if you're Jewish, huh? Um, no, if you're under 35 and your partner is available to do the testing, you won't. I think it's funny. Okay, 35 is a geriatric pregnancy for a woman, but the youngest you can run for president as a man. That's the youngest the president could be. Well, it's any, any gender. I have to go. (both laughing) We all live in this system, Connor, and like, what's scary is that I didn't even flag that. Yeah. I had to just do a quick lap. I don't have to concentrate my jacket. How old is Ryan? 'Cause I'm sweating a little bit? Cool, I'm 37. Okay, so we're elder millennials and we just have more capacity to do critical thinking 'cause we actually learned that in school, which I don't believe you did. So don't worry about it. Okay. You're, we're all unfortunately locked into the system and, you know, we use our free human will to rise up out of the system with awareness and then take action. Yeah. You just saw an incredibly qualified candidate who happened to be a woman lose. So no wonder you said that. I'm programmed. Do you have any advice in getting out of the system? Yeah, reading, talking, learning about the history of this country, the genocidal tactics employed in order to build this country, the history of Native Americans in this country, the history of African Americans in this country, and then learning your own history, you know, in your own way 'cause it's like Hebrew school we're taught a certain thing, but then to sort of seek out my own Jewish thought leaders, like John Stewart, for example, you know what I mean? But I'm a gold man, whatever, and Jewish artists and stuff. Yeah, I would say American history, like learning real American history. Fascinating. I had never, I just read the suite the other day. He just read a tweet the other day. Read this tweet the other day because I was doing some reading and someone said I had never even considered Dr. Pepper to be a woman. I thought you were gonna say a real doctor. That is so funny. Hello. Me neither. That's funny. And you know that riddle. Oh, the riddle. Of course. You know the riddle? No. Oh, well, we won't be able to tell you it 'cause I don't know it. Do you know it? Yeah, it sounds like Brooklyn has that. I'm-- Should we pull it up? No, I know it. It's like your, yeah. No, I can do it. Okay. You're okay. A kid, yeah. It's kind of morbid. A kid gets in an accident and no, I don't know it. I'll be honest, I don't know it. I'm not afraid to admit it. Can we pull it up? It's so-- It's defining of this generation. And do you consider yourself zylenials? I kind of abide by-- By law, you're a modernian. South Korea had given its citizens two years back during COVID, age-wise. They have allowed everyone to change their age, so I'm kind of using that technique, so. South Korea allowed people to change their age? They allowed during COVID, they gave them two years back. Go ahead and change your-- Unlike their driver's licenses? I believe so. I think like in law. That is creative. I'm loving that. I'm loving that. Why not three is what is my question. But by birth year, we are technically millennials, but I definitely feel more aligned with. I see what you're saying, like the years you love. And what is your space-time government age? Space-time government age, is that real-life age? Early in South Korea. 28, sorry, space-time US government age. US government age on birth certificate, 28. In South Korea, you're 26. In South Korea, yeah, it would be 26, right? I'm 26, what a beautiful kind of rolls off the tongue, right? 26. Yeah, almost rolls on her, 28. Cool. I'm 37. In many ways. OK, read this to me so I don't go ahead. I'm going to do it like A-U-R-A-L oral learning. Yes, I love that. A father and his son are in a car accident. That's it. The father dies at the scene, and the son is rushed to the hospital. At the hospital, the surgeon looks at the boy and says, I can't operate on this boy, he is my son. How can this be? The father dies at the scene, and the son is rushed to the hospital. At the hospital, the surgeon looks at the boy and says, I cannot operate on this boy, he is my son. How can this be? I mean, maybe it's the thing of, like, we are all God's children, or something. OK, Christian, Alana is here. What is up, Jesus freaks? How could this be? I have no idea, but I'm not like good at that. You're not going to like the answer. I mean, you're going to love the answer, but you're not going to like what? Give it to her. The doctor is his mother. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. See? Yeah. Gay dads. Well, that's where I had went. Right. Oh, my God. I said the same thing. You said that this is so spiritual. Isn't that sad and sad? Oh, my heart's racing. I know. Oh, my God. I know. I can enter myself into a feminist. Yes. Of course. And even the fact we were talking about that for the past hour, and it's still your fault. A lot of the system. Wow. See, I have so much on learning and learning to do. Yeah. Yeah. Doctor Peppers, a woman. Wow. Yeah. Spread the word so frightening to me. And sad. I'll say that. I'm saying frightening, but that's a distancing. I'm actually sad when I'm up close to it, I'm sad. And I'm sorry. I'm sorry. We had to do this. Well, I appreciate it. I'm never going to forget this. OK. I wasn't going to beforehand, but this now it's cemented. I love the riddle because we do think about this riddle a lot. Like, I feel like it comes off in when we're challenging the system. And it's like, I'm like, oh, the surgeon is a woman. The surgeon's a woman. Women can be surgeons. Yeah, they are. And they are. Yeah. My best friend, Eden, is a surgical physician's assistant. OK, shout out. One's again to Eden. Thank you for your service. It's like, I know this bitch from 11 years old. I know that she's doing surgery on cancer and cancer titties in particular. I think of her doing her work and what a badass she is. And I'm not even thinking of a woman being a surgeon. Something for everyone to think about. Take this with you today. How long are you in LA? 48 hours. 48 hours. And you graced us here. Oh, my God. You don't know. I'm so thrilled. You know what I really wanted to get to, though? I saw on the sort of prep sheet, flossing. I think that is something that we should talk about. Like this? Your, like, is flossing bad? Why did you think it was potentially bad at all? I thought it was so good for you. Because I think that was you that thought it was bad. I thought flossing was bad. Well, what we had done was that we went through all of our old notes in case we needed some topics. And one of the notes was, is flossing bad. And we were going to try to figure out what we meant by that. Oh, OK. Because it was old. Because I think it's very good. Yeah, I think it's good, too. But I think I'm going to assume it. I was nervous about, like, did the youth get anti-flossing messaging. No. And I wanted to address that. I would assume maybe it was you that had written that. It sounds like something you would write. Well, it's just like, I feel like every-- especially, this could be relevant with having been pregnant and having a new baby. I feel like a lot of the messaging changes were-- it's like, egg whites are good. Yeah. Egg yolks are bad. Egg yolks are only good. The egg white is bad now. Don't eat eggs are bad for you. The flossing thing, I started to get messaging, like, you're disrupting your T-natural cycle. I'm like, they don't have cycles. My teeth don't have cycles. Yeah, yeah, all right, mama there. Yeah, and it's like, I think someone had a dream. Yeah, you have a dream. And it's like, I'm going to start telling everyone this. And it's based on nothing but accept wrong intuition. Or it's like, no, people should floss. Yeah, cool. I have popcorn kernels in my teeth from three days ago. I need the floss. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. So-- OK, I just wanted to talk about that. In summary, human magic. Human magic, December 20th. December 20th. Fabulous. Floss. And women can be search, women are searchants. And doctors, too. Can be anything. And anything. Including the president. That's right. Yeah. And also, I just want to say that human magic my special that comes out on December 20th is available in Hulu and Disney plus worldwide. Just saying. That's what I was trying to say. Yes. Anything else we're missing a lot on. Just thank you guys. Like, what fucking cutie pies. I'm so thrilled. I'm so thrilled. I'm so thrilled. Oh my gosh. We are thrilled. My little babies. Mama. Just obsessed. Our mama, but not our good mama. But not of the mama. Yeah, our mama bear that's breaking the system. Yeah, love it. Let's do it. Thank you. We just love you. I'm thrilled. I love you as well. I really do in the context that's appropriate. I love you guys as well. Yes. You're adorable. Also, I just didn't want to discuss. Tom Holland, is this a thing you discussed? That's the nicest thing people say to me, yes. OK, cool. Wow. Thank you for really setting up the trajectory of not only the rest of my day, but we fight by reminding me that. I didn't even say career. I was like, OK. My career, I have been around the Holland family one time, and they did. The security tried to go with your family, duckling. And I was like, I don't know. I'm working this event. That's sense. I don't know them. No, when I worked at Bird, the scooter company, we did a partnership with one of the Disney movies. So funny. And it was Tom Holland, it was Tom Holland and Will Smith, and they were there in the premiere. Spies in disguise. Disguise, doppel on Tundra, that he's all right. Being dust guys, and disguise like masks. And these guys. These guys. I don't know. They did try to have me adopted by the Hollands, but-- Cool. It didn't work. That was the only other thing I needed to cover today. You know what I hate is there is about 1,000 things that I just, I know that as soon as we stop recording, I'm going to be like, why didn't I ask that? I would love to stay connected. Yes, please, please, please. I'm charmed. I'm enchanted, enchanted, to say the least. So sweet. And thank you for answering all my questions about pregnancy and the AMCO and the water and everything. Of course. Like my pleasure, my honor, my duty. I'm here. I would love to do it again. You are the best, truly. Ever. Everyone, listen to "Human Magic" on Hulu and Disney Plus, December 20. It's amazing. And thank you, Alana Glazer, for coming home. Thank you so much. OK. It really-- they say don't be your idols, but I really wouldn't encourage it. I really-- Just try it. I would recommend it. Some are good, some are horrible. OK. Yeah, one was great. Great. Good. Thank you, guys. Thank you. OK, thank you. This week, I'm close friends. A lot of times, we are forgetting. We're like, we're like, we're like, blah, blah, blah, blah. Oh my god. Sorry to bring up your ear mold. This could come back to mold. This could all come back to mold. I think, never mind. I don't like now how much I can say. You keep talking. Well, you could have developed on-site Turklemania. I could have. I wouldn't.
