E490 Brittany Broski

30:46Did your mom ever used to do that? No, dude. My mom never saw us. My mom would drive by and yell for us to brush our teeth out of the car window. Okay, well, I had that. Okay, what happened to me? Sorry. Yeah, why am I having this weird day where I'm just saying it? I'm just making it about me. Thank you for coming in. Of course. And yeah what does it feel like Because you didn't start out in comedy You started out as an entertainment What was your first way of entertaining people?

31:25Arguably my parents' divorce Was I have got to be the center of attention That'll do it Really you think that did it? Yeah for sure Wow that's so interesting Yeah I need people to look at me Yeah I always I like to make people laugh from a young age But that's every fucking funny person is like I always just had a knack. Shut the fuck up. Yeah, but it also is like why. It's interesting. Yeah, why? Do you ever really think about it and think about why? Yeah, I think it's just an innate joy to have everybody look at you and be laughing with you. Like you were able to create that response in a room.

32:01It's a real pat on the back feeling, but it's also like it's insatiable. Once you start, you can't stop. That's a good point. There's some addictive tendency to it. I never thought about that. Yeah, it's a high. Yeah, because then you see like it's an effect. It's almost like a wizardry, I think, when you're – I'm just thinking as a kid. Yeah, it's Kratom. We got our own brand of Kratom. Yeah, it's that, I think, for me as a kid. And I was a theater kid as well. Oh, yeah. That did it. And then in college, I don't know. I did improv in college, but it was like improv at Texas A &M. What are we doing?

32:36It was like – Well, that's Yael's whole cheerleading team, it seems like. That whole thing. I was like, is this Little Abner? I was like, what? I don't even know what's going on. Yeah, the yell leaders are going to be a point of confusion for a lot of people. That's what it is. You know what? It's a point of confusion. If you don't know about it, there were links going around like last year, two years ago, something had happened. What? There was a big video that went around. From A &M? A &M. And that was the first time you saw that there was a male... like they're not cheerleaders they're yell leaders that's what it was and people didn't know what was going on yeah it's a lot because when you think about it and it's a weird thing for me as a woman and I respect A &M man my cousin or somebody went there James he's doing pretty well divorcee but he's good he went there or he's there now he's already gone because the history of A &M which I don't know if you, it was a military school for the longest time.

33:40It's Texas Agricultural and Mechanical College. Yeah. And so women weren't allowed in until like the 60s, 70s. I'm not joking. And minorities were not allowed in until the 60s, 70s as well. Which is fucking late to let in. Women then minorities? Yeah. Let me think if that's how I would do it. No, no, no. I might be lying. I think it was minority men and then they let in women in the late 60s, early 70s. regardless it's fucking embarrassing but the culture at a &m now i would argue is very progressive um i wouldn't have gone there if it wasn't but it it's weird because they still have some of those like hyper masculine traditions like the yell leaders because we're not gonna have cheerleaders you know we have yeah there's five of them oh there's only five each year yeah there's two Two juniors, three seniors.

34:30Oh, my God. And they – So there's five men each year who – and do they have the – they must have tryouts. Oh, yeah. It's serious. And they show up. It's a political race. You run for yell leader. Nuh-uh. And they get voted in? Yep, yep, yep. Oh, my gosh. I didn't know this shit. It's crazy. And there's so many – I mean, like after a game, you throw them in the pond and all this. They're in all white. It's real slutty if you think about it. Oh, they throw these men in? They throw the men in the pond and all wet t-shirt contests. All men. Okay, so. And we don't do cheers. We do yells. Okay, got it.

35:09And for different plays during a football game, we do different yells accordingly. And so, you know when. That's kind of neat. So it's really involved. It is because the crowd, you don't sit for an A &M football game, which I think is kind of common in SEC football. I want to go. We should go to an A &M game. I'd love to take you. It's so much fun. I would love to go. I love that they're in the SEC now. Yeah. I think that's really fascinating. And, yeah, I'm trying to think of what else I know about them. I've never been to where the school is up there in College Station. I've wanted to go, but I just haven't gotten to go.

35:41Well, it's the only thing there. I mean, there's not, you know, it's just that. I would like to go. What else does it say about the Yale team? Is there anything else? It's just such an interesting thing about the leaders, about the group. When did it start? Yeah, do Yale leader history. There you go, yeah. The tradition of Yale leaders began during a football game in the early 1900s. The Aggies were losing badly and the audience was growing bored. Wow. The upperclassmen ordered the freshmen to find a way to entertain their guests, many of whom had been invited by Texas Women's University. Wow.

36:14It was separate. But women had a part in it. In the crowd. We need to entertain these ladies. We need to entertain the women. And hey, women still want to be entertained. It's true. The tradition of Yale leaders, the freshmen found white coveralls and began leading the crowd in yells. They had so much fun and received so much attention from their audience that it was decided that only upper class would be allowed to participate in leading yells in the future. Wow. So they made the younger people do it, saw that it was awesome, and then like you can't do it. Yeah. Yeah. Actually, never mind. Give it back.

36:47It was very that. When they're going for – you've got to help me out. When they're going for a field goal or for a – what's the conversion called? Two-point conversion. Two-point conversion. When they're doing that, the yell leaders will squat on one knee under the field goalpost, and it's called squeeze-a-mags, and they'll squeeze their nuts. Oh, yeah. Which is like they're bracing for them to make the – it's just – it's so gay. I love it. Yeah. Oh, look at that. That's true. Squeeze-a-mags. Squeeze-a-mags, baby. And we used to do that every time we passed by this town because my dad was always like, do not ever knock anybody up in that town.

37:26and he would make us, even when we're kids, he got that in us. That chastity belt, yeah. Just hold you nuts when you drive through there. Protect the goods. Yeah. You do not want to... Yeah. You know what else I want to talk to you about? Knock anything up around there. I need Caleb Presley biblically. And that's your best friend. I just texted with him today. Special guy. I have a crush on him that's like... Really? It's bad. Because he's another SEC boy, right? He went to North Carolina You're kidding He's like a volunteers fan He says he played at North Carolina He didn't He's a liar and a cheat True but he's handsome And he is extremely Unique You guys are similar I think We do kind of look alike We look a little related You guys both have blue eyes Yeah.

38:24Your blonde hair. Yeah. Yeah. I have the same facial hair as him. Oh, damn. Well. I'm just kidding. No, look, I think it's just, yeah. Yeah, I, because he's been on your pod a lot of times. Yeah. And I've seen all your stuff. I mean, you went hunting with him and stuff like that. Yeah, yeah. We went turkey hunting together. Yeah. And it was interesting because, yeah, I'd never been hunting. And then I don't think he'd been hunting. But some people were eating, there were some children out there eating mushrooms and they were making everybody nervous. But, yeah, we had a great time. He shot a turkey.

38:58I didn't. That's sad. Yeah. Yeah, the turkeys were, some of them, yeah, some of them looked like they had been, I'm going to say using, but some of them were not doing that good. Mercury. Yeah. They're off the merc. Yeah, they were off the merc. Off the merc.

39:24But yeah when you were singing on that show It was like It's so magical you can sing really good Thank you so much it's the theater kid I can't What was like your first play that you did You a Monty Python fan Yes John Cleese I did Spam a lot That was the first one where I was like this is a lot of fun Damn you had that locked and loaded Did they Monty Python Spam a lot And guess what? They had me cross-dressed. They did? I didn't play a woman a single time in the whole production. No. They had me in a beard. What? Yup. And did you feel, did your parents write a note or anything? Like, I guess, yeah, you just play what you get, but it's weird.

40:08It's interesting to have a woman just play the man as a, like, in a high school or something. It is. It's something to be said about, the director looked at me and was like, get her in a beard. Let's see her in a beard. and it worked. I did it, but I think it's a compliment to me if you think about it that there was no one manly enough to do at the job except for me. You could pull it off. I can pull it off. Wow. Yeah. That's fun. Was it a good time? Oh, it's so much fun because that, I mean, any Monty Python, I mean, it's so not PC today. Could not do it today. Yeah. But it was, they edited it down for a high school production to do, you know, so it was, it's funny.

40:42We did Adam's Family as well. Oh, you did? Yeah. What's a song, like what's one of the songs from spam a lot. I could not tell you if you held a gun to my head right now. Really? Forgot it all. Damn. Yeah. I remember I was in I was a theater kid too. What'd you do? I did. That doesn't shock me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think I, well I didn't like to ride the bus home a lot of times because it was like the poor kid bus or whatever so I wanted to stay at school to do some stuff. I would be like I'm staying. I'm involved in something i'm in the fucking web extracurricular yes and uh yeah i got in key club yeah no i got in yeah theater and we did um sherlock holmes oh fun it was fun and i was doing uh i was watkins right and so i come out watson watson it was kind of it was heavily urban we had a lot of black characters so I was Watkins but I come out right and I for some reason I just did a Mexican accent for my character and it wasn't any of the ways we'd ever rehearsed it and so everybody is like what the fuck dude now Watkins is fucking Mexican creative liberties were taken yeah and it was really kind of selfish looking back because everybody was just kind of shook and they didn't know what to do but I kept being like, what's up, Holmes?

42:16Like, I did it all just for that joke. And I bet it killed. Hey, Holmes. It killed for a little bit, but then it was like... You hadn't learned, like, the rule of threes yet and all that. I didn't have any plan. No. And it got old fast and then you couldn't not be Mexican. So for the next hour and 10 minutes or whatever, you were Mexican. You made your bed, you got to lie in it. Miss Porcio was so furious. Man, I say a silent prayer for theater directors every night. You know, high school theater directors are kind of like God warriors. They're soldiers. Yeah, I don't want to say that they are very similar to – who was that sergeant that helped during Katrina, that guy everybody loved?

43:00Joel Osteen.

43:04The follow-up picture of Joel Osteen. Did he not open the church up? Yep. eh the lord's not working during this during this storm no who was no it's not really joel it is uh petraeus it was general petraeus anyway that joke took too long and that's all right my brain should have been better at it um yeah were we talking about britney we were talking about you were a theater kid yeah i was a theater kid yeah yeah so it's always been but i didn't go to school to be like, I want to be a comedian. It was never on my roster. I mean, my friends in high school were like, you should audition for SNL. Oh, so people said that to you.

43:46So you were entertaining and you liked it, yeah. I liked it, but it's also like, first of all, not how that works. You don't just audition for SNL. Yeah, people don't understand at home. No. They're like, now what you doing, man? You going to get you over there and do you a little something? You know, Saturday night. Yeah, what's Gwyneth Paltrow doing? People text me that on a fucking Friday, bitch. You're like, I could not tell you. don't know could not tell you yeah that was always like you need to be on SNL it's also I don't know it's a very interesting conversation because I feel like with what you do and with what I do there is a path to success in comedy that's not you don't have to do SNL anymore you know no and it could derail you arguably yeah like would you be able to tell some of your stories and antics and have some of your same energy that you you would you know each week that even something you wrote was going to get on there it's a nice oh yeah yeah and it's yeah i think you're totally right yeah and to be able to connect with an audience you know as like on a very personal level you can't do that when you're always playing a character and also on top of playing characters having to fight for your spot every week why would you know it's like that it can't be the only way to make it in comedy as a young person.

45:07So I feel very fortunate that I graduated college started working a job. I used to be an insurance agent. Oh, you did? And then I worked at a bank. Oh, I love going to the bank. It's a great experience. Wasn't it so much fun? Be like, can you make change for this hundred? And they'd be like, yeah, I can do that. And you'd sign in and you knew somebody that worked at the bank. And so you'd be like, yeah, just putting my work check in. It made you feel good. Yeah. Remember those pins that were attached to the desk? Bring those back. And every time one would be missing, like, oh, what happened here?

45:40A crime. Okay. Do we get that on camera? Yeah. You want to know something? I figured out from working at a bank and the doorway of every bank. So like if you're the teller and you're looking at the door, there are lines that go up the vertical of the door so that you can identify if someone robs or whatever, how tall they were. No. It really is like a, yeah. Holy smokes. Isn't that crazy? It's how you identify, so you can get like a, what's that called? Suspect description. Oh, suspect description. They just had three children rob the bank. Oh, good for them. Good for them. Yeah, Houston's Little Rascals.

46:26You're joking. Three Texas juveniles dubbed the Little Rascals, age 11, 12, and 16, accused of bank robbery. The boys allegedly walked into a bank and showed a threatening letter to the teller before fleeing on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash. Wow. It sounds like there are bank robbers. The FBI has arrested three minors in connection with a bank robbery in Houston, and they have been dubbed the Little Rascals. Love it. You know the 16-year-old is like the ringleader, and the other two were like, yeah, boss. Yeah, we'll do it. Yeah, we got him. Yeah, boys. Yeah, when we doing it, huh? And they're like, oh, we doing it next week.

47:01But then the day came and like, oh, I thought we was just getting some candy or something. Boys, I don't know about all this. Yeah. Oh, well, the little. But here's what has happened now. It's like you do a crime. You get somebody to write an article. Do a crime. And now you are a. Now they're going on tour. They are. They're going to fucking. They're in the Billboard Top 100 right now. They'll have a song out In two months Featuring Fred again The Little Rascals Good for them Yeah and that's so interesting to write a letter What would you put on a letter Oh I remember dude one time I was trying to flirt with the girl at the bank And so I wrote this note That said what It was like Hey Great to see you today at the bank I've seen you before at the bank would love to connect sometime so I'm walking over and I slide it into the dish and you can see immediately like people are like this is a robbery tactic and one of the managers came and got it and yeah just couldn't go to that branch anymore banned from the facility it's a shame man oh you mean like you personally couldn't you wouldn't go there anymore oh yeah yeah sorry I wouldn't go anymore yeah just embarrassed they went ahead and walked you out of that building no I knew the second I'm sliding under I realized oh I see what's going on here yeah I'm sorry right they think I'm a robber and it's just very scary to them yeah that's the plight of being a man huh All you want is just some love, and they're like, get him.

There you go. Isa Gonzalez claims she missed out on the movie roles because she's too pretty. Oh, God bless her. And thought about shaving her head to make herself less attractive.

50:31I remember being told for so many projects, she's too pretty for the role. She's too hot for the role. then I just be like what is Margot Robbie she's the hottest beautiful woman ever I've seen in my life even though she doesn't believe any of this it's really about her I had an identity crisis for so long time she says I was like do I shave my head to make it more racist do I what did she offer to do change her grammar I said you're changing the grammar to make it more racist oh am I I don't think it's racist the lady it's a perfectly like beautiful English sentence and you're like skipping words because she's Latina.

51:11Oh no I'm trying to make it so it makes sense to people. Do I make, because I feel like if you just say it like a white person do I make myself less attractive but if I'm like do I make, it gives it like the I can see it. You're getting, right you're painting a picture. I can see it coming from her do I make myself less attractive? There you go, okay. That's wild though, huh? That is a problem I never have had to think about. I'll be totally for real with you. She is beautiful. I know. She looks very nice. Did you have thoughts like that growing up? I remember like. That I'm too pretty? No. I had thoughts like I was, yeah, just always just like worried about how I look or just felt.

51:59Anything that I could feel bad about, I would find a way to feel bad about it. Oh, yeah. You know? Yeah. You ever do the thing when you I mean now that like fame You ever look for it online You seek it out Like hate Or people talking about you in a negative way Sometimes you see stuff And sometimes it's so accurate It's fucking makes you laugh Or it's like yeah that's real Sometimes you're like uh But I have like I have like paranoia a lot of times You know like I get paranoid about my hair a lot of times My body Sometimes the way my body was shaped I think you're beautiful the way you are Thanks I'm just trying to think of things that people think I guess everybody has like things huh Yeah I was always told I look like the yellow M &M Which one was she It's a he It is a man Go ahead and pull up yellow Put him in Spamalot That's all I'm telling you He would kill in Spamalot Cast that guy Oh wow I think he has nice legs Thank you so much I see that I think that is the ideal body type.

53:04Yeah, that look. It's where we're all headed, I feel like. Circular. Yeah, I got the yellow M &M a lot, and I got Mr. Incredible. Katy Perry, I see some. I get Katy Perry. I get Adele sometimes. That's when people are feeling nice. Oh, I see that. When they're trying to get me, I'm like, fuck. Yeah. Yellow M &M's pretty funny. I can't argue with yellow M &M. Oh, yellow M &M's nice. If something's funny If you like to be funny And something is funny It wins Whoever commented that on my shit You won You look like Morgan Wallen too I look like I look like Morgan Wallows in mud I feel like I used to have this joke I look like somebody that looks like They might have matches on them And I always thought that that Was a fair description Yeah that's so That's so specific you look like Morgan Waluigi I don't even know who that is That makes me laugh Look up Mario and Waluigi He's like the evil one He's the evil version of Luigi You're the evil version of Morgan Waluigi Oh okay I'll take it Unless Morgan Waluigi's also evil I think he's probably not Who's to say Yeah we had I'm trying to think of Any other draw like when I was a kid Oh we did the vampire Thing one time Dracula we had to do A play And it was always in theater class You were always around some of the kids who were probably gay Or closeted too So it was just interesting You knew those You got kind of close with those guys Some of the funniest people you'll ever meet Oh yeah But at that time it wasn't like Like when I was in high school it wasn't people wouldn't really say if they were gay So I think back then you would kind of You got to be around like some of the kids Or just kids that were like maybe Questioned or something But theater was always like kind of like a hodgepodge Group you know It was always kind of the misfit Absolutely Was it the misfits yeah And it was the kids who got kicked out of band You know how fucking weird you have to be To be kicked out of band And man, the freak weirdos.

55:27Oh. Yeah. Yeah, that was my theater group in high school was like some of the weirdest fucking people I've ever met to this day. Wow. Like as a child, I remember being like, you're weird. Yeah. And as an adult, I'm like, God. And it's sad too because it's like, what did you end up doing with your life? Usually not much, you know. Those kids, you mean? Yeah. I don't know. So we had, it was also, we had guys like that low key could sing, but didn't want to admit, we're like afraid to sing in front of other guys. So it was always that, that crazy night at school where you were like, we have a chorus like our choir or whatever.

56:04Like you had no clue you had a choir or chorus. And then it was like one, one week at school when you were a junior, suddenly like the chorus is going to perform and everybody was dressed like they worked at a Chinese restaurant and they would come out and fucking sing. You're like, Ricky sings? And it's beautiful. It's fucking beautiful. And then you would see the next thing, you would act like he had never done it, dude. That's the thing. You got to act like he's not a star. Yes. Yes. Like you didn't have American Idol at your school. Oh, that's a great point. Yeah. Yeah, they had like, yeah, I remember this one kid named, I don't even know what his name, I don't even know if he had a fucking name.

56:42It was like Caramel or something. and he sang Jewel. Like the singer Jewel? Yes. And people didn't know what to do. And the curtain closed and the world had changed. People were like, fucking Caramel did it. Never the same. Yeah, it never was the same. And yeah, you saw him and you were like, God, that guy, I didn't know. Yeah. And you never would have known. Yeah. That's the beauty. I think... That is cool. That's a talent show time of year. Yes. When that happened. Did you ever do the talent show? Yeah, I emceed it one time. You DJed? Oh, no, you like hosted it. Yeah, just like the, yeah. Okay.

57:23Hosted it with this funny girl at school named Rebecca. Did you do stand-up? No, I did it once I got out of like 24. I think I started doing it. And it was, yeah. I mean, stand-up, yeah, it's been great. I don't know if I would have found another avenue to be entertaining. I don't know. Once I saw stand-up, I was like, oh, I couldn't believe it was a real job. Period, yeah. You were like, I remember in college we won tickets. They would always call you every day. I'm like, you won tickets. To what? Every day. Usually we would just hang up or somebody would call them a name and then hang up. And then one day we're like, we'll go.

58:00And it was to a comedy show. I remember we got there. And we knew what it was going to be. But sometimes until you see something, you don't really know what it is. like the blue man group you don't really know what it is until you see it yeah did you go I love the blue man group oh is it good yeah you've never been we'll go there after we go to an A &M game okay sorry continue no no no hell yeah oh wow could you pull up a video for Theo yeah you know what I have no concept of what this is it's kind of like Shang-Yon or whatever I was gonna say Shang-Yon what are you gonna say I was gonna say Shang-Yon every oh definitely this could literally also be a political national convention like I would not be surprised this one I imagine they were doing at Jonestown like in Jonestown I don't know what was going on but Fast forward where they get to the paint.

59:07they'll put neon paint this is Rufus DeSole they put paint on themselves they'll put paint on the instruments and then they turn a black light on and they'll play the drums and it goes everywhere I had no idea they even did music I thought that they ran around and kind of hid from each other okay literally that's what I thought Blue Man Group did this is crazy. If you would take in this stop, I would be like, no way. This is Blue Man Group. Wow. Yeah. I saw it in Vegas with my, think about this. I took a family trip to Vegas with my family at the ripe age of 15. And we saw the, um. What is that, what is that trip like for a girl?

59:52Because a lot of girls go on this trip with their family to Vegas at that cuspy age of like. Yeah. Like I'm reading One Direction fan fiction, but also like I'm afraid of men. Yeah. It was terrifying, but it was a lot of fun. And I thought the Bellagio was the nicest place on earth. Because it is. I like it. I like the Bellagio. Where do you stay when you go to Vegas? Oh, God. I stay... Last time I went, I stayed at the Wynn. Wynn's nice. Because that's where I think I had a show at, and I really liked it. My friend Jasmine works over there. Okay, cool. You had a little hookup. So a couple friends that work there.

1:00:31The people that I see and I see them repeatedly And I feel more at home I like the Bellagio It makes me feel like I'm in Italy That's for people who have never been out of the country Oh yeah I remember the first time that we went to Rainforest Cafe That's a great example I used to take my girl there all the time It's a nice facility I kept promising I was going to take her We were going to do a Caribbean cruise And get fucking it's just Rainforest Cafe I would I mean yeah I would hope like subliminally it would help our relationship I guess or like she would remember like oh yeah we're gonna do that one day you know and we didn't never did there's nothing more romantic than going to a place where children are running around at your feet you know screaming kids yeah throwing poop like monkeys yeah What?

1:01:30What's up? Oh, you were in a very realistic rainforest, Kevin. Yeah, yeah. I don't know about the one you were going to. Yeah. You ever been to, this is so specific, have you interviewed Post Malone? No. Really? Mm-mm. I would love to. I met Post Malone one time. He was groovy. Yeah. You've interviewed him? I've not interviewed him, but I've met, he's a sweetie. I mean, and he's from where I'm from in, well, kind of. he's from grapevine texas which is in the dallas like metropolitan area and i used to go to the grapevine mills mall and there's a rainforest cafe there and i did one time witness um a toddler someone had left on the floor uh unattended and they had taken off their diaper and were going to play with the poop that was what oh yeah oh it's byob there i feel like for a kid there's no other yeah you don't fucking i'm not showing up in a rainforest yeah with an empty diaper dude i'm not sure yeah it was a child oh i'm not showing up in rainforests in this plan with something strange you know i brought my own toys yeah i brought my own toys man um dude we had the first time i ever learned about like theater and stuff i never really thought about this but But in the apartment down from us, they had a married couple, right?

1:02:53And they were, I believe they were gay. Okay. But both of them would always, when one of them wasn't there, when the wife wasn't there, the husband wasn't there, I would always sit there with their son. And the son, now I know something's probably wrong with him. At the time, I just thought he just was kind of complacent. Okay. and and the yeah the parent the other parent would always complain about the other one but it would always be that like they you know like everything they complained about it was always just like well that's what a husband is or that's what a wife like I don't like that he's got a penis yeah it would be like yeah like I wish she used a comb you know and he'd be like well then that's you can't be upset but they would both play watch musicals all the time on television.

1:03:47Interesting. And I would always watch like yeah, there would be like newsies different stuff like that, different theater stuff. Okay. That was the first time I'd ever saw that stuff, I remember. That's crazy. And then I dated a girl that worked at a renaissance fair for a little while. Oh, that's fun. I love a Renfest. Did you ever were you a competitor? What are they called? No. Performer? Performer, yeah. No, I wasn't. But I did enjoy I love Game of Thrones. I'm a big GOT fan yeah I've seen some of you you have a lot of references that yeah well I've got a show that we're trying to get a royal yeah I've got royal court royal court I've got a bunch of would love to have you on yeah is it for do guests come on it I haven't seen it yeah it's a celebrity interview show that we write the show around them you just had Drewski on we're trying to get Drewski on and we're just he's just the busiest motherfucker alive that's true and he rolls with like 45 people yeah with him so we're trying to get him We had to get him a bunch of sausages and stuff when they was coming.

1:04:49So what do you mean by that? Just food items. Oh, okay. Some people want certain stuff. The writer is just full of Jimmy Dean sausage. Yeah, I mean, they wanted sausages, you know. Hell yeah. I know, I respect it. Can't hate it. Pretty good. Yeah, we're trying to get Drewski on. We'd love to have you on. Thank you. Backtrack. Renfest. I've only been to a Renfest. I've never performed there, but I imagine that that is crazy. Because you know how at a bar all the bartenders usually are having relations with each other? Yes. Renfest is worse. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, the girl that I was dating, she ended up leaving me for a guy who was a, did the horseshoes or whatever.

1:05:33And it's called a - Tossed them or cleaned them? Yeah, a farrier, the guy who re-puts them on. How do you spell that? Farrier? Farrier. I'll watch a lot of those videos sometimes sometimes it makes me feel weird though sometimes it's like hey guy they'll get too deep in there I did not know that was the word for it a farrier is a specialist in equine hoof care including the trimming and balancing of horses hooves and the placing of shoes on their hooves if necessary my sister married the son of a farrier farrier yeah farrier sweet talking son of a farrier preacher man preacher man yeah that's it makes me feel a little weird when they get way too deep in there because I don't know if it's bone and I don't know if it's is it like what our nails are made of right you don't know and you're like hey and the horse doesn't have you almost want the horse to have like a person next to it who speaks horse right who can be like

1:06:34that's far enough yeah time but yeah the girl I dated Yeah, Renaissance Fair, it's home of the white tit. It's home of the mammary. Oh, the girl I dated. Mammary gland. She was just a beautiful little boiled egg of a lady. It was more of a Ruben-esque woman's world because the skinny girls, they would make them all be in the malaria area or whatever. The plague area. Yeah, like the skins coming off or whatever. Psoriasis tint. Yeah. Yeah, if you had like no tits, you were in like the scurvy stable or whatever. Yeah. Or the pile. You'd have a pile of like three people. Yeah, it's true. You're going to be dead body number four in the pile.

1:07:22That's what they would do. You have to be well endowed to work at the Rent Fest. Oh, she was a fucking little one. Oh my God. That is crazy. Look at that. That is crazy. And I love the dress too. I mean like boob aside. I agree. it's just beautiful period pieces a lot of people by us would do Civil War reenactments Renaissance fairs it's where like yeah a lot of children could get work chimney sweeps I don't know how you think I was thinking like work for children but yeah dude that Renaissance fair shit that shit was fucking and then I remember she actually auditioned years later cause she stuck with it for like 6 or 7 years She got really into it.

1:08:07Yeah, it's a lifestyle. Yeah, I guess so. Because she even flew to Dallas to audition for Medieval Times or whatever. I love Medieval Times. And didn't get it. How do you get rejected from Medieval Times? I don't know. I guess it's tough to get in. There's only one woman slot, by the way. It's the Queen. Medieval Times is a sausage fest. Oh, that must be why. It's all the knights. I don't know. Yeah, look up the Dallas Medieval Times. See how many stars it has. I've frequented that many a time. Really? Yeah. Oh, you know what I'm talking about? Yeah. Oh, that's right. I used to live in Louisville, Texas, which is in Dallas.

1:08:454.7. We know about that. If people don't know what Medieval Times is, you've been, right? Yeah. Okay. It's a dinner theater. Yes. That is in the middle is a big sand pit where it's literally they'll do equine jousting. they'll do hand-to-hand combat it's it's crazy and then each like section of this big auditorium is like you get a color and you cheer for your night you cheer for your color the bad part that happens is people start uh abusing drugs usually in the evening and that somebody gets too fucking crazy when you fall into the horse pit are you there's a lot going on i mean you're sitting there It's supposed to be like this fine dining experience.

1:09:33The animals, you know. Some people, they don't want to be around it. Then don't go, is what I would say. That's true. More for us. There's a part, which I don't know if you remember this, with the falcon. They do a, you remember this? There's a guy that comes out and they're like, the royal bird whisperer. And they come out and it's that guy with the glove and the falcon. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I think the bird was off when I went. Oh, he was off duty. Or it might have been an off week. Oh, there he is. Here we go. Oh, yeah. And this guy. Oh, I think maybe I have been. But this thing will eat a bread off someone's plate.

1:10:10Sometimes. Yeah. I mean, you're fucking with nature here. You know what I mean? Look, and he'll send them around. He flies through the whole stadium. Oh, that thing will fucking steal a sister's wig out there. I bet. It'll it'll steal a small child. Happy second birthday to Amelia. it's got a million it's Clinton it's it's just real unfortunate I love medieval times it's one of my favorite places on earth I think it's one of the best things that America's come up with yeah you know there's not as much dinner theater I feel like as there used to be probably you never you used to live in Nashville yeah I still live in Nashville oh that's right I thought you moved to Austin I'm going home tomorrow no I think about it sometimes just yeah I think about it do you remember I met you in Nashville oh my god I should have had the picture pulled up I met you I think it's in the gulch at that breakfast spot hold on no let me think for a second we can put the picture in later yeah I'll send you the picture I saw you come into this place and I was there with my friend Forrest and I go I think that's the Yvonne you walked in you were just getting breakfast and he was like holy shit it is and we sat there and we were like Do we bother him?

1:11:26Oh wait, I do it Fenwick's Is that what it's called? Bring up Fenwick's It's like a breakfast spot Yeah And you go up to the counter and order And then you go sit down Oh Is it, look, let me see the inside I should have had the picture locked and loaded to show you Yeah, I don't think that that's it No, that's not it Anyway, I met you in 2021 Before any of this kind of like happened for me Crazy Yeah, yeah, yeah anyway I was going to say dinner theater Dolly's got her thing there in Nashville in Pigeon Forge my sister went to Pigeon Forge for her anniversary oh fun I gotta spend some time over there I haven't spent that much time over there so yeah what's it like for you because you weren't a comedian then not really I was a tiktoker right but I wonder if that's just the new like you know something's happening in comedy right now too where there's a lot of videos that are being put up are crowd work yes and it's not like a lot of material there's people doing crowd work tours that's crazy it's crazy right like it's really because it just makes me think like and i'm not judging it i'm just looking at it but it's like sustainable right and then like are we getting to the point where like things are liquidating kind of where it's like you don't need material anymore but because i i hear from some people it's like oh i'm tired of seeing crowd work and it's like well but that's also a masterful art you know if you can do it well done right a lot of the crowd work i see on tiktok is like what do you do bro's a banker yeah and that's the joke what are you talking about what's funny like i don't you know what i mean yeah but it is interesting i had a guy say the other day he's like you know one guy i love him but he doesn't post anything with any material anymore it's just but then also it's like you have to save your material for when people come out to see your live show yeah like when you go on fallon or whatever and you have to burn bits it's like i guess that's part of it but how else are you going to get people to want to come you know like i don't know it's a difficult thing but at the same time if you're talking about someone like a matt rife where it's like you're doing crowd work but half of the gag is that like people want you and I mean he's fallen from grace now totally and like has he oh absolutely oh my god did you miss all this no I know that people accused him of something but that seemed extra that seemed ridiculous to me kind of his whole comedy special was basically him saying I don't like having a primarily female audience uh I want dudes to like my comedy and the whole like 30 minutes of his special are like I hate women like I fucking don't you hate it when bitches like it's horrible I didn't know that why would you alienate your audience like that and that's what I think happens when it's like you got famous from your crowd work and people liked you and women liked you why would you alienate the women yeah they're the ones that like really support you they buy merch they show up to the meet and greet you know they I don't know it was sad oh it's interesting I didn't know that is that a thing that people are is that like is this a thing going on Nick?

1:14:42Look he called his fucking thing problematic like he's making a joke out of it. Is he topless? Oh yeah. Wow. He's nips out. I didn't know that there had been this fall from grace. It's bad. Oh gosh. And to do that whole sort of rampage of like I want men to think I'm funny. Well they don't brother. So what now? You know what I mean? You lost your woman audience and your man audience. Damn. But he's still selling out dates So I don't know. Maybe it's. So then did he really then? Right. How effective is. Or is this just. Right. Oh, I don't think. I think the best thing you can probably do is get canceled if it's for something that really means something to you.

1:15:23But if it's just somebody writing an article on some. But yeah, I don't know. I didn't see the special. I didn't either. Oh, you didn't even see it. I saw clips. I saw the first five minutes. No, I didn't watch the full thing because I was like, this isn't funny. You know what I mean? Yeah, it's not. I'm not rocking with it. Well, I feel like we should see. I'll have to see it. But I didn't know that there was this fall from grace in the, like in the, why has Matt Reif turned against his female audience? If you've been on TikTok, you probably had Matt Reif pushed on you. But it's just people found him, that he's entertaining.

1:16:04There's a lot of entertaining stuff, man. He's got a lot of great stuff. Oh, that's the whole thing. It's like, we're all entertainers, you know, And I think it's just about highlighting people who are genuinely very funny and very original and very creative and should have a Netflix special. If your whole thing is predicated on controversy, boring, don't care. Tell me a joke. Right. Yeah, that's interesting. I think there are a lot of – like some people it feels like they create – it's more about – I'm trying to think of people that it's more about controversy. Like what does that mean when you say that kind of?

1:16:40Well, for him, I mean, coming off of all the drama on TikTok, that was when he was like, here's my special. Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah, I missed, I think, a lot of that boat. I just knew that he was just on tour and that the ladies loved him. And we were talking like five months ago, I remember talking about how he was like, there's not a ton of like that handsome of a guy who gets to also do comedy. It kind of works against you in comedy. Oh, God. Being hot. Yeah. It doesn't help you out. Well, I needed you to look over at me. So if I'd have fucking just had a fucking, oh God, if my mother would have fucked somebody with some cheekbones, I wouldn't even fucking worry about this shit.

1:17:18If she'd have fucked one guy with a dimple in our town. Please. Yeah. I know. Yeah. And look, I know that guy didn't have dimples. I know it was an incident with a fucking can opener. But still, mom, bang that guy. Come on. Yeah. Oh, but no, I didn't know that that I didn't know that Matt had had that fall from grace. But I guess if he's still selling out, does he even care what's even going on? That's the thing, which is just like, what are we even talking about? Because evidently it just doesn't fucking matter because he's going to make money regardless. I do think that TikTok has become a breeding ground for like, it's very democratic in nature, you know, of like comics that probably never would have gotten discovered are having a renaissance.

1:18:00So it's a really cool thing, too. And it's also cool for people like. Yeah, I mean, a lot of people find you and me on there. Exactly. Where they never would have found us before. And also, I mean, I have such a different path than you of like, I have no interest in stand up, but I like obviously this sort of setting. And like I'm I would say I'm well endowed comedically, probably thanks to my dad. But I don't want to take it on tour or anything like that. So what do you do? And you do the Internet and you can do it, you know. But don't you think eventually you that that could evolve where you may want to.

1:18:33Yeah. You know. Yeah. And not to even like, you know, I respect totally what you're thinking, but I've thought about that too. It's like, I'm always somebody I never wanted. I'm always like, no, I won't do that. And then a lot of times I end up being like, oh, yeah, this is okay. Yeah. You've got to force me to do it. And then I'll be like, it's kind of fun. Yeah. I'm worried. Yeah, I'm worried about that when it comes to stand up because I feel like once I start, I can't stop. It's going to be addicting. Oh, start doing it? Yeah. I can't bomb though. I'll kill myself Spit The spit I don't care about It's the death It's fucking Someone losing their life Not to opiates in America If I bomb I'll kill myself Oh At least once Oh well then you're gonna need Some extra lives dude It The craziest part Dude I remember one time Just bombing so hard What do you do Your whole Well my brain was like I'm not staying here And hanging out with you My brain like Left in like the back of my body And then I just remember Like a bunch of sweat started pouring down my throat Which had never happened Like you can sweat inside your body And I was like Oh this is going so bad And I still have like 20 minutes left Oh fuck me It hurts so bad It hurts so bad man Is that do you think it was a combo of Material wasn't strong enough Audience blew ass What happened oh it was I had to perform at a college it was lunchtime right after lunch it was a lot of like derelict children who it's the kids who would be come to that thing it's like yeah I'm in college I could be playing video games or just laying in my bed touching my beautiful young body but instead I'm gonna walk instead I'm gonna walk over to the student union yeah Because I saw a flyer up somewhere.

1:20:31Let me go see this redneck tell me a joke. So first of all, it's complete Daryl X who would even do that, right? Or adventurous people. Or people that came strictly to fucking judge you and ruin your day.

1:20:49That's like... Well, you haven't gotten up on stage yet. You have or you haven't? I've done one stand-up set. Did people know you were going to be there it was at this like my friend's doing a thing at his house like one of those things and it was 22 comics on february 2nd of 2022 oh it was like a saying grandhog's day exactlyst patrick's um actually i think it was on 9 11 february 22nd yes 9 11 groundhog baby that forgetful venison they call it in some cultures Berman. Yeah. That is crazy. That's an American tradition only, right? Can you look up the history of Groundhog Day? Well, the natives probably had something to do with it, I would guess.

1:21:34And shout out to the natives and sorry about everything, but I believe that they had a lot to do with it, dude. The groundhog. Who's going to fucking look at a groundhog? Some perv probably. Some perv that was like, and if he comes out of that hole and goes back in the hole. Hey, look, I ain't saying nothing, but I believe this animal's got a little thing for me. So if he comes out, he got a thing on him. What does it say? Go back to it. Groundhog's Day. The Pennsylvania Dutch were immigrants from German-speaking areas of Europe. The Germans had a tradition of marking February 2nd as Badger Day.

1:22:12Candlemas? Of marking Candlemas, which is February 2nd, as Badger Day. Dockstag. on which if a badger emerging from its den encountered a sunny day, thereby casting a shadow, it heralded four more weeks of winter. Wow. So it's a badger. We got it wrong. Also, where the fuck does that even come from? I'm even more confused.

1:22:37Candlemas is a Western Christian festival observed in the Roman Catholic and Lutheran churches. In folk religion, various superstitions continue to be linked with the holiday of Punxsutawney beginnings. The first reported news of a Groundhog Day observance was arguably made by the Punxsutawney Spirit newspaper of Punxsutawney, PA in 1886. Up to the time of going to press, the beast had not seen its shadow. God, first of all. The mark of the beast. It's just the groundhog. This is how they think of us entertainers. This animal's coming to fucking entertain you. And they saying, oh, this beast ain't even showed up yet.

1:23:17Like, it just goes to show. Missed his call time. Yeah. It goes to show the pains you even have to go through to win over an audience. However, it was not until the following year in 1887, the first ground all considered official was commemorated there with a group making a trip to the Gobbler's Knob part of town. Okay. Okay. Okay. So I'm not saying it was a little. Right. Right. This is a real fellas hanging, I bet. But people have gathered annually at the spot for the event ever since. I would like to go to that one day. We could add it to our list of things to do. It's on the to-do list when we do our Great American Road Trip.

1:23:55Yeah. That'll be a real beautiful time. I think that would be really nice. You think he's still alive? That guy right there? Yeah, I'm sure. The marmot. Oh, that animal? Yeah. He looks chill, huh? He looks like, let me do another take. You got it wrong Dude if you've been in there all year What if you come out and just fuck it up That's so embarrassing He bombs You're like I got the news wrong He comes out of the hole and a little turd comes out And he's real embarrassed he's gonna do it again He's kicking it back in with his foot He stepped in it What do you think about the The TikTok band did you see it Yeah I've Here's the thing just do it Like I'm tired of this edging we're going to do it or we're not going to do it.

1:24:44I think that it's a red herring for, oh, you really want to ban an app during an election year, where arguably it's a very democratic app in nature, but I think that the timing is intentional. Oh, you do. So you think, because who passed it, that Congress or the representatives? TikTok, Congress, years-long case against ByteDance. It was 50 to zero that they're passing this shit along. What are you saying, Zach? It was both sides, and it was Congress. Oh, wait, both? But it hasn't passed the Senate yet. But Biden promised to sign it if it hits his desk. So the House of Representatives, the House committee voted unanimously last week to advance bipartisan legislation that would force ByteDance.

1:25:26That's the Chinese ownership, right? To divest its TikTok app ownership within 165 days. I think it's just a shame because TikTok, we've seen, it's launched so many businesses, and it's a way to share information, and it's a way that... I mean, not to get too like socio political, but like the more we're on social media and the more that we don't like interact with each other, we've lost the concept of third places, you know, like public parks and coffee shops where we can go to talk to each other. TikTok is that third place. When you ban that, was it people are going to go to Facebook, you know, and it's like you can't really have a community.

1:26:03It's just sad. You know, like we found a way to actually connect with each other and see cultures and things that we never probably would have seen. And now we're going to ban it. Because why? Because of security and privacy. Brother, my social security number and parents address has been on the Internet for years. Yeah. You know, like our credit cards are there. What are we actually talking about? We had that's that's part of it. I agree. Like why? You don't think there's so many other sites that have our information. I don't trust Facebook and Instagram to have our information just as much as I don't trust a different company.

1:26:38But they're saying since this is a Chinese company that that some of the argument is that China would never allow us to have a company over there. But I'm more scared of our information already being completely monopolized. Exactly. And if it's not ByteDance, it's going to be, you know, name the winner. It's just what's done is done. But forcing someone to own it. And I think there's a lot of people that say they don't want information. There's a theory out there that they don't want information from Israel, Palestine, from the war, that kind of stuff. Censorship, for sure. They want censorship.

1:27:16And people want to be able to have there be a big three who owns what you can see. You can control it. And so this is something different. So that almost makes me feel like that could be the reason, you know? It's overall just very sad and it's launched so many careers for so many people. And it's, I think, been an overall net positive for, I don't know, my life specifically, but also just like, I don't know. It's fun. Oh, there's no doubt it's fun. I mean, I find myself getting more like in my downtime. time it's like it's so interesting because each moment is a new what is this even if you have your own algorithm sometimes you forget that you do and you're just like what is this and then sometimes something flies in from like totally out of left field and you're like um wow that's so i never would have seen that that's interesting i didn't know i was rocking with this yeah yeah yeah yeah didn't know i was fucking with it like that yeah you're like damn i didn't fucking know i was like that.

1:28:18I discovered Caleb Presley on TikTok. Really? Yeah, he had that clip go viral with Post Malone, actually, where he was like, always tired of being a Cowboys fan. And I was like, that's hilarious. Who is this guy? I need him. What do you say to people who say? He's so funny. That's a good impression. He's a wonderful guy. I feel lucky to know him. Yeah, it's so funny. Like, yeah, some of the people you'll get to meet or know, that's true. Yeah, all the friendships you made it's also as what we do where we make content online that's a major platform going away that you can't promote on you know well yeah i mean it would be it would be really a travesty then you would really have to go through like it just yeah i wonder if there's more to it because i just feel like china has as much of our information as they want that's a done deal at this point.

1:29:13It's like everybody goes to Timu or something. Everybody's buying like shovels or whatever. Or whatever they're getting. You know they're buying shovels, rope, duct tape. Whatever. I'm just spitballing here. Frigidares. Do you like living here in LA? How long have you lived here for? I moved from Dallas in like early 2020. Right before. The pandy? The pandy. So I was paying LA prices to not enjoy LA. which was so much fun. It's alright. I like it. I think it was culture shock for me at first. I don't know if you experienced that too. Like being from the south, I was like you bitches are weird out here.

1:29:55Well there's fast, there's so much going on. There's people on bikes and stuff and you just don't know what's going on. Yeah those scooters. Well yeah there's just so many little there's like, there's a lot, there's just a lot more happening. Yeah. It's a lot busier. Like even when I go back to Nashville like it's just it's another so quiet Nashville's like when you're there it's like I gotta go get my kids from school yes you know like you're hanging out with celebrities and it's like I gotta go it's 3.30 I'm like damn y 'all have real lives here here doesn't it feels like a different planet yes you know it's like not especially in entertainment it's like I don't know what we're all just tweaking it's not real yeah it doesn't yeah you're like what is going on and I just wonder what it's like if you don't have comedy well I guess now you've started your podcast like if you don't have the stage yeah Yeah, it's just interesting to see, like, is the stage and doing stand-up still a viable way where people feel like they can get an audience?

1:30:53It's probably changed. It definitely has. I mean, especially when you talk about selling tickets. How do you get people to care? You know? Right. They have to see. Right. So you have to be able to have stand-up and then or have some sort of a live show that's good and then also have people see you. You have the discoverability. Because on Instagram, it's like you can't – people who follow you will see your tour dates. If they don't follow you, who gives a fuck? They don't know about you. So it's like that's the beauty of TikTok is that it's anything can go on anyone's For You page. And that's going to go away maybe.

1:31:28So I mean that sucks. But YouTube – a competitor will rise when reels came out on Instagram or YouTube shorts now where people just need short form content. or maybe a new app. I'm hoping for a new app, but we'll see. Yeah, it always evolves. What else do we have in the news? Nick, anything else? A sons of OnlyFans model admits he films her content for her. No. Son of OnlyFans model admits he films her content for her. Wow. While most teenage sons can't be bothered unloading the dishwasher for their mothers, this one goes above and beyond. Oh, I don't like that. Andresa Urat is a successful OnlyFans content creator and boasts over 3 million followers on Instagram.

1:32:14Wow.

1:32:17That's really all you had to share with us? That was the best of the best you had to share? Wow. Arthur is the one who does it. Man. Arthur's going to... That therapy bill is going to be crazy. I mean... But it was... Hey, it's... He's... You think he gets a cut? I mean, he used to live in there.

1:32:42So I'm not saying that makes it fair, but it's like. It's familiar. What's that Miranda Lambert song? The house that built me. The house that, you know they say, can't go home again. Yep. Yeah. There you go. I just had to come back one last time. Wow. Ma 'am, I know you don't know me from Adam. You like Tyler Childers? But these handprints on the front steps are mine. This is what, yeah, if you're filming your mother's vagina, this has a hole. I don't, I think this might be the first time anyone's ever thought about it from that perspective. What Miranda was doing when she wrote that. Well, I'm just saying it has like, yeah.

1:33:28But is it getting to that where people don't have jobs anymore and they're like, everybody is, you know, you have somebody driving DoorDash and filming their vagina at the same time just to make... Ends meet. Seriously. You start to wonder if that's... If people keep losing jobs, is that how dystopian it ends up? You know? Because then what, Brittany? Then what is I think at some point we're all just going to have to sell post pics. Even men. You got to figure out a way to sell post pics. I think you'd fold your nuts into something kind of romantic or something. You know, I don't know what you would do.

1:34:07Origami nut. Or some, you know, a thing. Wow, that's cool. Origami nuts, yeah. Something you'd put on a pillow at a fucking nice hotel. Right, right. You know? Yeah, a little trinket. Something you'd set in the, yeah, on the toilet roll at a nice hotel, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. God. Man, that's unfortunate. Any other news? Sorry, that was a lot. We'll get you out of here in a few minutes, Brittany. Oh, you're good? Oh, here we go.

1:34:35Do we have any that aren't fucking life altering? Well, hold on. This is important. And I thought since you were an insurance agent, surely you'd understand this. Taiwan man persuades friend to get legs amputated for$1.3 million. Now see, if it wasn't a scam, do you think it'd be worth it? $1.3 million? Would you do it? No. no I don't think I would you think you know somebody that would though you could call what if this were that new like phone a friend show and it's like sharks sharks I've got a crazy business proposal for you university student oh he's so young forced himself to have a W invitation after he put his feet in a bucket of drives for more than 10 hours which caused frostbite I was thinking it was going to be more like saw style Like someone is there like with a comedically large saw.

1:35:37Oh, yeah. That's actually – God, I bet that hurt. Claims that on January 26th – scroll up, please, brother. Zhang got frostbite while riding a motorbike with his friend. That's what they said. The prosecution said that a few days before the incident, he filed for life, health, and accident insurance. The sum of the policies was 1.3 million. he was taken to a nearby hospital where medical personnel thought his wounds were fake according to the release the medical staff reported that although the patient's feet were frostbitten they were neat and symmetrical injuries and no socks or shoe marks so how'd they get the amputation then nowhere close to freezing they're saying he did it to himself oh so they're saying he needed the amputation but he did it to himself Oh, also they said in Taiwan, a subtropical region, cases of severe frostbite requiring amputation are unheard of.

1:36:34Yeah, that makes total sense. The plastic bucket that was used to freeze rings, fee insurance papers, a white polystyrene box contained dry ice. Eight cell phones and electronic devices were discovered by police during their investigation. So they were running a scam. Oh, yeah. If you have eight burners, dude. Man. And, yeah. Wow. That is, I can speak from personal experience. Insurance companies do not give a shit if you live or die. Are you serious? Absolutely. I believe it. Because I worked at a call center for insurance companies. It was like a brokerage. People would call in and they'd be like, I'm in a car wreck.

1:37:12And I'd be like, let me pull up your policy one second. Put them on hold for 30 minutes. They'd be like, my leg. And I'd be like, one second, sir. Listening to the hold music. And I'm pulling it up. I'm taking a bathroom break. and I'm like, all right, got your policy right here. How can I help you? I'd be like, I just got hit by a semi and my fucking whatever and my dog, my dog was in the, please. And I'd be like, I would have to pull up their policy and see where they selected. I don't want that coverage. And I'd have to be like, are you sitting down? We cannot help you. I was like, I am now in a wheelchair.

1:37:46Now I'm forever sitting down. I literally had to be like, on this day at this time, and I quote, you said, fuck y 'all, I'm not paying for that shit. Oh, damn. I had to quote it back to him and be like, you rejected this coverage. It's not covered. I'm so sorry. Well, what the fuck do I pay for? Fuck, y 'all are scammers. It's like with insurance, the more you pay for it, the more it's worth it. Because when that shit happens, not that, but like when shit happens, you're going to be thankful that you pay for it. And you would have people yell at you? All day, every day. And call you names? Oh, yeah.

1:38:17Nuh-uh. Yeah, I got called a bitch on the phone more often than not. I would argue. Yeah. It was a good time. We used to get angry voicemails from people and we used to play them for each other and laugh. Because you have to laugh at a certain point, you know, because it's like you're mad at the situation, not at me. I had to realize that because I used to cry. I used to cry. Would you? Yeah, they're so like people are mean. Oh, yeah. I used to cry because I was like, I thought they were mad at me. No, they're mad at themselves for. Yeah, you fucking give me my money. Yeah. Literally, I have gotten that message verbatim.

1:38:49And I was 21 when I graduated college. And I'm sitting there in this desk like, is this the rest of my life? Is that me with a, thank you for calling for an insurance. And did you have a lunch break too or not? Yeah, I had a lunch break, but I would always try to go over. And so at the end of the lunch, I'd be like, I'm gonna go take my dump. And I'd go in the bathroom and I'd hide. And I'd just be on my phone. And they'd, oh my God, this company was so micromanaging that I would be in the bathroom. And it was one of those bathrooms where the lights were like motion activated. Uh-uh. And I would sit in there for so long that they'd go out.

1:39:23People would come into the bathroom and literally knock on the stall door and be, Brittany? Uh-uh. It was awful. It was awful. I hated every fucking minute of it. Dude, one time I was going to do a number two somewhere in Seattle, right? Poop capital of America. Yeah, is it what? Coffee capital? Poop capital. Is it? Well, it's the coffee capital, so poop. Checks out. Yeah. And yeah, I went in. I go in and when I go there's a bathroom attendant in there. There's like a guy working in there, right? Who's just handing you a paper towel. Right, so I go sit in the stall and the dude comes and knocks on the dude and is like, don't worry bro, I got you, right?

1:40:00And I'm like... Was he gonna wipe me? I don't know what he means. I'm like, what do you mean you fucking... I don't need anything, right? So now I'm wondering like how much does it cost? Like was I supposed to pay like a tariff or something? Like how much does it cost to shit in here for a few minutes, you know, to to be in here defecating and am I running up a tab now? I'm like all concerned, right? It's an hourly rate, yeah. So then here's what happens. The guy, somebody else comes in and knocks on the door, right? They have to use the bathroom. This guy, the bouncer, the shit bouncer or whatever, starts yelling at the fucking dude knocking on the door.

1:40:39He's like, hey, leave my boy as is, right? well you mean he was defending you he was defending you yeah the bouncer's like hey hey leave my boy as is right and i'm like i don't know either one of these guys out here but he's riding for you yeah yeah that guy's riding for me yeah so they actually ended up getting a little bit of altercation but and you're just pants around your ankles yeah i'm just like why did i pick this place your hole out yeah that's you ever been walked in on while you were shitting? like someone opened the door I did it at a woman's restaurant the other day apparently it was a gender sex uniform restroom and I didn't know I mean I guess I did know I went in there and it's just that it was like somewhere and I opened the door and there's a woman sitting right there she'd forgotten to lock the door well that's not necessarily your fault I mean that's like if you're not locking it yeah I wonder if she likes that probably not but what can you do at that point and then you gotta stand outside and be like you done she's gotta walk by you as you walk in that's the weirdest no just leave the restaurant at that point yeah yeah I think that's weird if I'm in the bathroom stall I won't even come out until the bathroom is empty usually that's the way to do it really?

1:42:00yeah I don't want to look that person in the eye you just saw my gooch or even if you're just in there Yeah, you're probably right. Yeah. Any other good news, guys? Oh, speaking of your royal court. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Speaking of your royal court, Buckingham Palace confirms King Charles III is alive after Russian media reports his death. Classic Russia. Oh, man. And that's Princess Diana's husband, huh? Yes. Yeah, after reports surfaced in Russia media that the Monarch, who was recently diagnosed with cancer, passed away. Buckingham Palace put an end to the speculation, telling news agency TASS, we are happy to confirm the king is continuing with official and private business.

1:42:48Oh, that's right, he's the king. Because Queen Elizabeth died. He's been the king for, what, maybe a year now? Maybe. When did Queen Elizabeth die? Do you know that meme of... Damn, two years, almost two years ago. Almost, yeah. You know that meme of whenever someone dies, they'll split the face and put XXXTentacion with that person? You've seen this? Look up. Look up XXTentacion Queen Elizabeth. Like anytime any public figure dies.

1:43:25They'll post this and be like, RIP Queen Elizabeth, you would have loved September 9th, 2022. And what's that the day after It was the day after she died She'll never see it Yeah I remember when Princess Diana died I was at my friend's house And he was a

1:43:44Homosexual prize fighter right One of the toughest fighters That they had in our area And he invited me over there In the gay weight class or what is that No he just they didn't have it He was only fighter Yeah but he was the toughest guy around But he was also gay but people were like So they just didn't even have a guy like him. Okay. And he was, and he sold a bunch of weed to the kids, but he was awesome. Yeah, he sounds awesome. Oh, yeah. You shove him on the pod. He's deceased. Oh. But. Damn it. Yeah, he drove into an embankment, actually. But he was, before that, he, we were at his house getting high over there.

1:44:26And he's like, yeah, Princess Diana died. And he started bawling, crying. and I didn't know Princess Diana was. And I thought it was like our mayor's wife or whatever in our town. You thought her first name was Princess. Well, I just didn't know. Like it was such a big deal. And he had all these beanie babies, these Princess Diana beanie babies. Wow. It literally, I mean, akin to like if Jesus had come down and gotten shot. Yeah. Oh, people were heartbroken. Yes. My best friend's mother has like statues of Princess Diana in their home. Yeah, she's like a saint. Yeah, what does the royal family even do, though?

1:45:07That is actually a great question.

1:45:11Regrettably, a number of the king's forthcoming public engagements have been rearranged or postponed. He sounds like he's dead. His majesty would like to apologize. But what does he do? I mean, I think they just eat beans on toast. Be very royal. They be royal and they, like, be racist sometimes. Yeah. For fun. Wasn't that, it was a big thing that Queen Elizabeth, like, fucking hated Meghan Markle. Did she really? Yeah. Oh, wow. It's like blatant racism for fun. Oh. These meetings are completely private and no official records have kept what is said. He receives daily dispatches from the government in a red leather box, including briefings Briefings ahead of important meetings or documents needing his signature.

1:45:57Wow. The king is the UK head of state, but his powers are largely symbolic and ceremonial. He remains politically neutral. Interesting. There's something so silly about all that garb. Yeah, I wonder if you didn't have it, though. Would it be too much of a loss of tradition? Right. Have you seen the coronation chair? It's like a graffitied, ugly. Yeah, look up King Charles' coronation chair. it's like the most unassuming it's like the most important throne in all of royal history of the UK oh wow it's just ugly and it's like wood and it's got graffiti on it it looks like the birthday chair at a Texas roadhouse where my sister used to work at it does it does literally yeah there's like ash ash marks from cigarettes yeah yeah there's peanut shells on the floor yeah it just has like some Conway Twitty lyrics or something Like chiseled into it.

1:46:55Oh, wow. Happy anniversary, Mark and Carol. Yeah, that's what my sister used to bring out all the time. God, I love a Texas Roadhouse. She was a waitress? Yeah, she was a waitress. I bet that was fun. She did a pretty good job of it, I think. I think people enjoyed her energy. She's a nurse now. Period. Yeah, that Texas Roadhouse to nurse pipeline is pretty common. It is. It's really common. Yeah, where are all my Texas Roadhouse to fucking nurse bitches at? Where are the nurse hoes at? Texas Roadhouse.

1:47:32Are you excited having a podcast? How long have you had yours? I launched my May. Oh, dude, your video with that fucking shirt collar? Show that video, dude. Tell me what happened. Okay, so you know what a dickie is. Yeah. You're familiar with a dickie. there you go yeah I'll let you play it fake collars from Amazon so I can wear a sweatshirt and not have to put a collared shirt under it and girl that's so stupid as fuck so mad you look like every character from Harry Potter in one person right there you know who I look like fucking Chris Farley from that one the Chippendale sketch look it up that's what I look like no angel baby You do not look like that.

1:48:22That is your imagination. I put the top on for mine. I remember my mother showing me this.

1:48:31Oh, my God. I really was like, this is about to be a fashion moment. I wasn't humiliated. I can't believe it. How much did they charge you for those? That'll run you about$4.99 a pop. And you don't think China has our information? They know the width Of Brittany Broski's neck They know my neck size Neck cup size Well she's got some D's On her neck It's a D cup neck Hey look that's a 12 inch neck It's a good diameter Yeah that shit was real humbling What What else Nick Anything else good in the news I feel like they were kind of negative from we had an Uber driver attacked in Chicago New York City squatters Uber is leaving Minneapolis yeah that's crazy what's that about yeah I saw that Uber is wait Uber is no longer going to be working in Minneapolis Uber is no longer going to be working in Minneapolis Uber and Lyft very fair you can audition for the yell team.

1:49:48Thank you so much. Oh, it's only guys. It's only guys. Damn. Why don't they have a women's one? Nope. Tradition. It's horrible. There will be one day when there's a woman yell later. God willing. After the Minneapolis City Council voted 10-3 to override Mayor Jacob Fry's veto of a ride-hailing pay raise ordinance on Thursday, Uber says it will pull out of the entire Twin Cities metro starting May 1st. Uber wrote, We are disappointed the council chose to ignore the data and kick Uber out of the Twin Cities. Oh. Putting 10 ,000 people out of work and leaving many stranded. But we know that by working together with all stakeholders, drivers, riders, and state leaders, we can achieve comprehensive statewide legislation.

1:50:29I don't trust Uber. What's going on? What are they supposed to do? Cabs? Oh, the new ordinance aims at guaranteeing drivers earn minimum wage in Minneapolis. It requires ride-healing companies to pay driver's rates equivalent to the city's minimum wage of$15.57. Amen. I think they should have to do that. They definitely should. So that's why. They don't want to pay them$15.57. They'd rather ban both companies. That's crazy. They didn't ban it. Uber and Lyft voluntarily pulled out because of the law. I see. So they're saying if you want to work here, you have to pay them that much. I think that that's fair.

1:51:03I think that I was just in Australia, and they have there, it's like a livable wage, right? I can't imagine that. So people can get like$30 an hour just like for like so many jobs. What is it? Look it up, Nick, so I know what I'm talking about.

1:51:21But you know what? First of all, 23.23 per hour. It's a minimum pay rate provided by the Fair Work Act of 2009. That's like what I was making with a full bachelor's degree. Yeah. Like I worked my ass off to make$20 an hour. That's crazy. And so the crazy part was you would see – so then everybody was like kind of happy in their job. It's like everybody knows that they're going to be able to survive. They're going to make it through. So there was this total energy. Australia's minimum wage is – go back – is Australian 23.23 per hour for adults over the age of 21. So actually, the Australian is the same amount as U.S., though.

1:52:07it's$15.23 US. Is America's that? Well, I guess it depends on the state. Yeah, what's our... I can tell you, I used to work at Baskin-Robbins. I made$7.25 an hour. California, it's$16 an hour. But the cost of living in California is so much higher than everywhere else. It's unbelievable. The federal minimum wage for covered non-examined employees is$7.25 per hour. Do you ever work in the food industry? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I used to sell Mexican food for a living. And what else? Yeah, I worked at another Mexican spot. And then, yeah, I was a waitress or whatever, waiter. You were not a waiter, you were a waitress.

1:52:55Oh, the waitress. Which one did you work at? Baskin Robbins. Oh, you did? I worked at Baskin. I was slinging cream. Were you? Yeah. Praise God, mama. I was slinging cream at the age of 16. I worked there 16 until I turned 18. Oh, really? Now, did a lot of guys come in there to flirt? Because I feel like it. Really? It's old people who go. Like, to physically go into a Baskin Robbins, it was like old people being like, I'll have the regular. Sir, I just started working here. What's your regular? And that's going to be a large milkshake. Imagine a large at one of those places. Praline, butter, pecan, praline milkshake.

1:53:34Wow. And that shit's delicious. Is it? I can't lie. Yeah. Old people, they love pistachio, they love butter pecan, praline, whatever, all those, like, it seems nasty, pretty good. And I would have to make these grown men who, like, own companies their milkshake. Oh, wow. So they like it. It is an old-fashioned kind of place, Baskin-Robbins. And it seems like, but it's predominantly, is it a white clientele mostly? It's a white clientele. Yeah. Yeah. Because I worked at, what was the one?

1:54:08Cold Stone Creamers Oh that's where they do the scoop And the chopping Yeah we were fucking You did that? Oh I chopped the shit with a credit card

1:54:21I'm looking at You're looking at You're dipping it in that water That murky water I'm fucking raging in that bitch Two Amexes

1:54:36You're doing it with your hands Yeah god it was fun Cold Stone was like a culinary experience Oh yeah Cold Stone was a vibe man What's your order? I like cake batter straight up You didn't do any mixing? I would throw in a little bit of sprinkles but nothing crazy I don't like it where it like infects the ice cream so much And it gets colored out So I just put it in a certain area and eat it fast Almost like put a little mustache of sprinkles on it Right get that in me first. A ribbon. Yeah. I liked it though. Yeah, what else? Well, the Uber drivers well, oh, in Australia, so everybody makes a liberal wage, so you'll see like a gorgeous woman working construction.

1:55:18Period. And what's wrong with that? Nothing. You don't see it. We need more of that. We need more, yeah. It's just like, you would see like a supermodel, so I'll put it like that, you would see a supermodel working in Like you'd be walking by the construction site. Damn. She's calling you. Oh my fucking God. Like what I will just build. I will let that lady fucking just build my build like a two bedroom, two bath in my heart. Yeah. Yeah. Crown molding. Yeah. I trust her with my life. Yeah. So it just I guess that was kind of interesting. I think that just the minimum wage is too low. But I don't know enough about economics to learn about that.

1:56:00And I'm kind of in the same boat with you. I should have somebody on to talk about that with. Yeah. You should see if Caleb's available. Yeah, he doesn't know. Tennessee could ban marriage between first cousins. No! Yeah. Oh, come on! Dude, my buddy Justin's going to be pissed. I'm not even joking, dude. Come on! Well, here's the thing. Here's why they're even... What do you mean? I'm not saying. It depends on where you live. Here's the thing. If you don't have any gas money, your parents don't have a car, you live in an area, how far will you walk for love? That's the question. For Gooch. Yeah.

1:56:44Why? What would you do for Gooch? Well, at a certain point, if your family lives rural enough, how far are you going to walk to make love? How far would you walk to make love? Me? 12 miles. You're capping it at 12? Yeah. I'm not walking. After that, I'm like, who's within this area? Yeah. And if you do it myself with if it's over 12. Oh, yeah. But I think, yeah, it's just interesting, I guess. I will admit I did not know that it was already legal to begin with. First cousin, that's your parents, siblings, kid, right? Yeah. Now I'll say that that is a little too close to home. That's like for real inbreeding.

1:57:27That's not even like, oh, it's a third cousin on your mama's side. She got divorced three times. That's your for real blood. Yeah. Why buy the cow when you can just smash your cousin? You know, that's that kind of thing. I feel like it's like. But House Bill 2041 initially filed for introduction by Representative Darren Jernigan prohibits marriage between first cousins. What does that say about Dan and Shay? Dan and Shay are supporting Dan and Shay surprised Oh I thought that was related Oh they surprised the voice fans downtown Nevermind Yeah that's actually crazy That it's legal I know Gosh Are we supporting Bill I think that at this point Especially with Uber Now if you live in Minneapolis You could be fucking your cousin But with Uber I think you gotta figure that out In this sort of scenario I mean, Tennessee, that's already pretty, that's redneck.

1:58:29Some places get pretty rural. Yeah. Yeah. If you get it out of East Tennessee. If you remove Uber and Lyft from Tennessee, we're dealing with something major. Yeah. A pandemic, an epidemic, you know. Yeah. Well, I wonder what would happen if all those things went away. We would go back to almost a different time, really. That's what I'm saying. I was talking about third places earlier. Like, what if we have to leave our houses? What would we do? Oh, like, where would we go? Yeah. Yeah, because I guess like, yeah, like you're more of like a culture where everything is really on social media, you know, whereas my life's been kind of split where that wasn't really the case.

1:59:04So it's like I don't you just it's a different time. It's just more. I will say this. There's more room for imagination and you used to leave things up to chance more. Sure. Like it felt like if you saw somebody or ran into somebody or there was then it was like a there was like, oh, the world has some purpose in this. Yeah. Yeah. It's gone now. I feel like everything you hide behind a screen, what's there to risk? There's no, like, spontaneity. Yeah, right. Yeah. Yeah, there wasn't as much, like, will I see them again? And if you do admit, there was, like, so much value and buildup. Like, what if I'll, will I ever see them again?

1:59:43What if I never see them, you know? You talking about, like, potential partners or friends? Yeah, potential partners, yeah. Like, if you saw a girl, then you would just pine over her Until like the next time you saw her and you're like, oh, when I see her, I'm going to say something. And then you wouldn't say anything. And you'd be like, but when I see her next time. Exactly. And then it would be 20 years later, she'd be married. And you'd be like, but when I see her. Things are going to be different. Things are going to be different. If I just would have seen her. Oh, if I just would have seen her.

2:00:11Now you can find her address and show up to her house. Or send her a DM and say, just your penis. I see you. Yeah, I see you. I see you. I'm outside your house. Yeah. Scary Yeah I saw you went through some love issues Recently there was a guy you had kind of met And it fell off Yeah I had an Irishman We were talking about the Irish Had an Irishman that I met on a Christian dating app That I did a brand deal with And I was like they gifted me premium And then the premium ran out And I went ahead and paid for it myself Amen girl $34.99 a month Get your life And I got it And I found this beautiful young gentleman And he was In Ireland or in US He's going to be in Dublin.

2:00:52He's in Dublin. And I was in Nashville at the time. So we were messaging and he was still awake because that's what? That's Eastern time. Yeah. So they're only five hours ahead. But back here, it's eight hours ahead. So it just sort of slowed down. And then he was responding to me like every three to five business days. And I was like, this isn't very romantic. You know what I mean? Yeah. He was so funny, though. Because I'm always worried. You know, when you talk to people from other countries, it's like, you're going to get my sense of humor. Yeah. And he did. and he was smart and he like went to college and I was like okay okay but I'm going to Ireland in July you'll see him then you think I'll see him so were you guys FaceTiming and stuff chatting like that no not one voice message not one no way not even a voice message from an Irish you gotta get it he did tell me though he said um he goes I need to tell you something and I was like there's nothing you could say because I'm so I've built him up in my mind I'm like there's nothing you could say he said i've got some fucked up teeth does he and i had does he and i said it can't be that bad he sent me a photo just of the teeth yeah it's bad it's not that good it's not that good and i don't really have dental insurance i can offer him you know we're kind of self-employed entertainers you can get him a package oh there you go and those look like yeah yeah if your teeth look like like the ones you see in like the bones of a skull or whatever that's always bad you know Victorian skull that usually feels bad to me yeah you got teeth that belong in a museum yeah he sent me that photo and I said yeah what is that I wonder because there is something about you meet people online it just feels so tough like it's like does this mean what's going on here and then you'll spend so much time in this fantasy world of your own like you see their pictures you think about this You've seen them from so many angles.

2:02:44You're like, God, it's. You think you know them. You don't know that person. No, you don't know them at all. And you have all these judgments already about them. Yeah. Without any of their own real energy. It's very true. And like I'm filling in the blanks with what I want them to be. Oh, yeah. He could be a fucking perv loser. But I'm like, in my head, we're married. We've been happily married. We have some tiffs sometimes, but yeah, we're married. And it was in the church and we have two kids. but it's like yeah it's scary to think like i'm going to his country a place i've never been before and so if you told him like hey i'm coming there and did you do it to go see him i wouldn't care if you did yeah yeah we've all done things i mean hello you've never flown across world for a dick appointment you're lying i've flown some places domestically oh yeah okay if you add them up yeah it's definitely an international flight yeah you got some delta points yeah i've heard at At least a free flight, probably.

Or just the girl coming to see me. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. But you front the bill, right? Yeah, I think that that's fair if they're spending their time to do it. Right.

2:06:27Yeah, and girls always have to do so much to get ready for a date, I feel like. Yeah, dudes just barely even shower. Barely show up. You know? They left half of them at home. It's just pitiful. There's this picture of, you know, just like the difference of the effort that men and women put into a lot of things. There's this picture of Beyonce and Ed Sheeran at the same awards ceremony. And Beyonce's in this beautiful like Terry Mugler vintage gown, just like glamp, thousands of dollars. Ed Sheeran's in jeans and a button up. And they're side by side. They perform together. He's in fucking. That's it.

2:07:10Oh, that's the most Ed Sheeran vibe ever. He's always like that. You cannot blame him. He's a cheese and a t-shirt. I love it. Yeah. Wow. That's crazy. She looks dressed like a beautiful ovary or something. He looks like somebody who fucking donates at a sperm bank. You know? Who's banned from a sperm bank. Yeah. And God bless you, Ed. We definitely. God bless Ed. He's one of the greatest musical minds of a generation, but we have got to get you in a suit, brother. He's one of a kind. Oh, that is really special. He's one of a kind. And I should have meant fallopian tube, but that's what I meant.

2:07:47Fallopian tube. Happy International Women's Month, by the way. I'm always an inch away from what I really mean, you know? We can get you there. Yeah, I love this photo. It's crazy. Yeah, that is pretty wild. I saw him perform one night. I was watching who the chain smoker is in Las Vegas, and he came out and performed. He's amazing. So good. Yeah. And at first, like, just do part of your song. He's like, none of my songs. It's like, I have kind of ballady stuff. Yeah, heart-wrenching. Yeah, and you guys are like DJs. But then like, so they did a little bit of one of them. And then another. And then next thing you know, it was just like, became like his show.

2:08:21I'm in love with the shape of you. That song goes crazy. It was fucking hype, dude. People were just fucking lonely, but also feeling something at the same time. It makes me very like, if Ed Sheeran can find love, beautiful love, I can. You know what I mean? It gives me, he gives me hope. Is he married? Happily. Oh, wow. Yeah. I didn't know that he was married. Yeah, it's interesting Figuring it out, finding somebody You know Yeah, what if you had to move to Dublin? Oh, that's where, what's her name's from? Sinead? No, that other lady you said looks like you guys look like each other People tell you sometimes Adele?

2:08:59Adele She's British Oh, she's British Yeah, yeah, yeah She's from London, South London Oh, that's nice Yeah, Hosier is from Dublin Oh, he is? I need him desperately Yeah, dude Yeah, in like the most biblical sense that a man and woman can need each other. I need him like that. Yeah, there's something real interesting about that hosier. He's about six foot seven, and that's not a joke. Big monster of a man. Love him. Oh, that's a long boy. If you're stretched out. God, imagine being that long and just longing around everywhere, and you can't even hide, you know? That would break my heart. But at concerts, I bet it's nice.

2:09:35You can look over everybody, you know? But then people meet up at you at fairs and stuff. Yeah Meet at the big Irish guy Yeah Yeah Just meet at Danny at 11 And people are like Danny's like What the fuck man Wherever Danny's gonna be You gotta trust him Danny just gets all fucked up And he's never there That is crazy I know It is crazy Anything else man? I thought there was one other thing I was gonna ask you about Yeah let me hear it You know we didn't even get into I had questions for you too You did? We'll have to do a part two. Okay. I had questions about God and about—but you've talked about that a little bit before.

2:10:16Not that much, you know. I think about that a lot. I'm trying to have a better relationship with God. I was going to say, because you did not grow up, like, in the church. No. But it's been a journey for you. Yeah. Especially with sobriety and, you know, just getting older and the more you realize about the earth and the world and people, where have you landed? Yeah, I think I need a faith. Love that. But does it have to be nominal, like Christian? No, I think I prefer—I don't know if I prefer is the word. I use Christianity because that's the thing I'm most familiar with. Sure. So I think I use a lot of those kind of symbols.

2:11:02But I think, yeah, it could be any way you used to find faith. And build a relationship with a higher power. I just find that I just need it more and more. It's just too much strain. I just can't handle it. That's real. Unless I like, you know, I've been just trying to say like, I will be done more often and say that as much as I can. It's just like, suddenly like everything is not my responsibility. Yeah. Because that's how I get to feeling like that. Everything in the world is my responsibility. Yeah. Weighs heavy. Oh, it's just this weird stacking weight that you don't even realize is happening.

2:11:38Yeah. It's also self-inflicted. Like you did that to yourself. Right. And it used to be a good skill when I was a kid because I felt a lot of self-responsibility. Like I have to take care of myself. So then it made sense. It was like everything is my responsibility, it feels like. So I need to do that. But then as I got older, it's like you're not a kid anymore just trying to get their little life done. Now you're an adult. Everything is not your responsibility. And it shouldn't feel that way all the time. I like that. I like that it's kind of outside the bounds of the church, but it's still familiar.

2:12:15I like that. Yeah. What do you feel about it? Oh, man. I'm ex-Christian. You are? Yeah. Oh, you were a Christian. I was. I was raised in the Baptist church. Oh, really? It's like, well, Baptist on my mom's side and Pentecostal on my dad's side. Oh, Pentecostal. They get wild. They skirted up. They skirted up. They got it's almost like Amish sometimes. It's speaking in tongues and like fire and brimstone. So I feel like I have two extremes on both sides. And that's a weird way to come up because it's like, especially as someone who's funny and has success, which I'm so grateful for. And I'm so fortunate to accredit that to a God and not me and what I've built is kind of where I struggle.

2:13:05You know, where it's like all glory to this other thing, but he didn't do, I did the work, you know? And so much of it I think is chance. TikTok happened at a certain time that I happened to be posting videos. I'm not more deserving than any other person. We just got lucky, you know? So I struggle with it sometimes of like, I've been told that you need to look at the world this way, but I don't. So what do you do, you know? And I sometimes have trouble sleeping at night over it, but I don't miss the church. Yeah. You know? Did you meet any men in the church? They're very judgmental. Are they? Yeah, Christian men are the first to shame you.

2:13:43Yeah, the church can be like that, you know? Even, like, Kat Von D was here, and she's a Christian. She's, like, turned her life over to Christ recently. And she was just talking about how, yeah, some of the first to judge so often are, like, that you're not doing it the right way. All that kind of shit, to me, seems ridiculous. everybody's just trying they're trying you know and they're trying to figure out and I think it also like some of that relationship evolves over time definitely yeah I think I got to the point where I just feel like the gods are up there like doing their fancy stuff and having like a dinner and like doing things yeah and then like a crumb of like creativity falls off of their table and like and it hit me in the fucking back of the head or something when I was a fucking kid you know I was wondering what that misshapen dent was So I think I feel like that I just feel lucky that Sometimes that I get to be like a conduit Like some people Everybody's kind of a conduit at different times for joy You know somebody can even just hug you And they can be like Some people have the best hug Some people have the best Squash casserole And some people make the best Great art Yeah.

2:15:03Yeah. Vessel's a great sort of image as well. Just like a, yeah, conduit of joy. I love that. Yeah, I'm just like a radio station for the Lord, you know? It's like everybody is. FMJC. And sometimes it's fucking rattly bullshit, but every now and then you catch something and it's like, all right, it's all right. Yeah. You know? I know you help a lot of people, too, who have similar... Yeah, we got a lot of people going through it. You got a lot of broken fans. Yeah. Oh, we are a meetup of really fucking some real beautiful fucking animals. Yeah, I got my audience is incredibly gay and female and also non-binary, but also very mentally unwell.

2:15:50Yeah. And I love it. Yeah. You got to have a little flavor. Well, yeah, and I think people are trying to, it's tough to figure it all out. It is. It's hard. yeah and I think it's got to be really tough if people especially when it comes to people like being non binary or a lot of that stuff I can't even imagine you know my friend is a comedian and then he got he transitioned to a woman and it's just been interesting to like see what that is like for him you know I watched your video you posted I loved it on when someone called in and asked for advice on being a man. Yeah, a lady called in. And I thought your response was so beautiful.

2:16:33Oh, thanks. Yeah, her name's Theo too, actually, this lady. And yeah, it was interesting. Yeah, you just try to give somebody some pointers, you know? Yeah, and just grace. Red Rover, yeah. Oh, yeah, I can't imagine. Dude, if I went over to being a woman, I don't know, the first thing I would do when I would get there. Yeah. probably close the door and be like, what are we in it now? This is a lot. What's going on down here? Or just all of it. Yeah. Gosh, I couldn't even imagine. Imagine all of the new things you would have to do. I'm imagining it. Especially if you go, I wonder which way is easier, if one way is easier than the other.

2:17:13I would imagine, well, I won't even try to speak to it, but I do think that there's like, I think women know more about men than men know about women because we've had to figure out how to live in a man's world. Y 'all have never had to figure it out. That's a good point. I think that that – and I'm not saying it would be easier. I'm saying that there is more knowledge that we know. Yeah. If that makes sense. Yeah. I would probably think that – about man, you mean? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, definitely. We're always wondering what do men think? What do men like? What did this? And I know men think the same thing, but it's also like, especially when you talk about religious communities or in the South where it's like your whole life expectancy is like you get married to a man, you have his babies, that's your life.

2:18:06You know, it's not really career driven the way that it is in like maybe New England or the West Coast. Like it's very traditional. Do you think it's bad? Do you think one is really better than the other though? Because I've thought about that. It's like, because then I have friends that like just work forever and then they achieve all their goals and work, but then they don't have a family and they feel, you know, some type of way about it. I think to each their own. I don't ever want kids. Yeah. You know? You don't? No. Never, never. We're not going to have any little yellow M &Ms running around.

2:18:39Damn. Yeah. What about some Irish ones, eh? What about some what? Some Irish M &Ms. Some Irish M &Ms. Maybe. Dude, if you could have a little fucking Irish kid, there's no way you couldn't imagine that. Hey, Mom. I think that having little ginger babies around me would freak me out. Yeah. What are y 'all doing? You know? Oh, definitely. Why do you look like that? They won't even allow you to donate ginger semen anymore at the sperm bank. They banned Ed Sheeran from the sperm bank. That's crazy. Brittany Broski, thank you so much for hanging out. If you guys don't know about Brittany, check her out.
