Report with your host, Brittany Broski. This one. I'm a loser, baby. Wow. Wow, guys. What the does this mean? Fastest lap in F1 history. Average speed of 264.682 km an hour. What the hell is a kilometer an hour? What the is a kilometer? Hey Siri, how fast in miles per hour is 264.6 kilometers an hour? 164.4 miles an hour. Damn, it's not even that fast. Damn, it's not even that fast. I do faster than that on the highway. Y' all ever driven Y' all ever driven in a back roads Texas highway at about 11pm but here's the thing with Texas highways. You got to slow down because there are speed traps. They'll get you okay, you're going real fast, you're doing about 90. You're do about 90 on a two way line, on a two way run and then you gonna slow down. You go through a town, you hit a town, hit about 35 and cops waiting for you. Those cops for real. If you're not from Texas, if you're not. I don't know how speed traps work in other parts of the south, but damn. Those cops wait for you at the girl. When it goes from 75 to 60, those cops will get you right there. You know how fast you're going? Fuck you. You know damn well what you're doing. You're trying to get the damn tax dollars for the county. I pay my taxes. I'm not the one. I'm a loser, baby. Why did I think Beck and Russ were the same person? Like they're not even in the same what is rusting? What they want? What they want? What they want. What they want. What they they. I used to love that song in college. Why do people hate Russ? He's just corny. Did he do something? I bet he did something. He looks like that type of dude who would do something. You know what I Mean, I bet he's done some stuff. I don't even want to know what. What bro's done. He opened for Ed Sheeran. How does that make sense? I saw Ed Sheeran at some stadium because of course, his team lovingly and very generously reached out to. To my team and said, if Brittany wants to come see Ed Sheeran, we've got. Hey, I'm on the way. Hey, I'm on the way. Shout out the Broski Nation members on Ed Sheeran's team or Ed Sheeran's label, because, wow, that man. I mean, it's him and a damn guitar and he's up there fucking fighting for his life. He's making beats on the guitar and shit. He's just stimming out on the fucking guitar for two and a half hours every night. Bro's got a baby and a wife and just the most colorful straight guy tattoos you could ever, ever think about. And it's fine. It's fine. I'm fine with Ed Sheeran's tattoos, okay? Just stemming out on a guitar, just hitting a full stem. I love it. I love to watch people hit their life purpose. His life purpose is to stem on a rotating stage. And he. He does it better than about anybody I've ever seen. But why did Russ open for him? Is my eternal question. It is my eternal question. And what did Russ do? Might be worth a Google. What did Russ do? What they want. What they want. What they want. Let's hit R Rap. We're making it to Reddit. Okay, so he had disrespected Lil Peep. Maybe he is controversial because of how much self confidence he has broken. Russ Glazer, the R slash rap thread. Bro, you're on the R slash rap thread defending Russ. You're not gonna win. My king. Hey, my king. Give it up. Russ makes $15 million a year, and that's a lot more than most rappers. His strategy was that posted weekly of him rapping over beats on SoundCloud. His music's very realistic. He's also human. He makes mistakes. Which resulted in rappers on him in an alternate reality, maybe even this one. I would hope this is how Broski Nation defends me. You know, people are. People are mad because she's just. She's just confident because she raps over soundcloud beats. Okay? He took a gigantic L from me when he said that the reason why hip hop is the way it is right now is because producers are making whack beats. Metro Boomin hilariously responded with him holding a Sign that says Russ is whack. Okay, bro. What they want. What they want. What they want. What the fuck is up, you guys? Seriously. Lots to talk about today. I've got a lot of questions that I need to Google today. Mainly, number one is. I feel like the number one thing I really wanted to say is that my tonsils are kind of touching each other today, and they're filled with tonsil stones, and I really don't know how to. At what age is it too, like, it's not cool to get your tonsils out? Like, if I'm pushing 30, I'm 28. Careful. Hey, careful now. Easy. Easy, boy. Whoa. I'm pushing 30. If I'm like, I need my tonsils out because they're touching. You know what I mean? Because that happens. And. Oh, my God, don't even get me started on. When I get a head cold, them bitches touch. Them bitches want to kiss so bad. The sexual tension between my tonsils when I have a fucking head cold. They want to get close and personal. They want a spoon. And I'm like, guys, can you please stop? Guys, can you please stop? I have stuff to do. I have to talk for a living. And then they start kissing and they start giving each other sloppy. Stop, guys, I'm punching myself in the throat. Stop. I said. What the hell was I talking about? At what age is it not okay to get your tonsils out? That's such a juvenile, like, childish ass thing to have done. Like, have your tonsils removed. Isn't that, like, a really painful surgery, too? W. Can you. Why did I say wi. That was such a wimpy little noise. Here's a question, and I kind of mean this half serious, half joking. Can girls be wimps? I feel like when I hear wimp, I think of a wimpy dude. Can people who are not boys be wimps? I don't think so. I think that's my hot take. Wimp is a. Is a strictly masculine term. I'm enforcing the gender binary on the term wimpy. I've never met a wimpy girl. Can you win when. When you. Can you get your tonsils removed as an adult? What they want. What they want. What they want. Yes, it is possible to get your tonsils removed in a surgical procedure called a tonsillectomy. Reasons for it, obstructive sleep apnea, difficulty swallowing or breathing due to enlarged tonsils and tonsil stones. Yeah, shit, girl. Because here's the thing. What do tonsils do? Tonsils catch. What do I'm going to guess what do tonsils do? We're this needs to be sponsored by like WebMD or some bullshit. The way that half of this podcast is me googling met medical ailments and how does the human body work is truly astounding. Like you would think that I would have learned something by this point in my Victorian laboratory. How do tonsils work? Tonsils work as a first line defense of the immune system, trapping and filtering out germs like bacteria and viruses that enter through the nose and mouth. So my next question in this line of thinking was going to be why would you ever want to get that removed? But of course we have. We have preemptively answered that with sometimes they can be more harmful than beneficial. Okay? Sometimes they can obstruct, sometimes they can harbor bacteria and infection. Right? And make it worse. Maybe sometimes it's better to have them removed. When I was a child, I had tubes put in my ears. And I'm 28 and I'm just now wondering why.

Ear tubes, also known as myringotomy tubes or grommets, are small tubes inserted into the eardrum to improve drainage and ventilation in the middle ear. Yeah, I must have had earaches all the time. I always had a thing about and I still do as an adult. I think it's like a trauma thing. I can't go too deep in the water, actually. I bet there's some community out there. Anybody? Anybody feeling me? Are y' all fuck with me? Are y' all fuck with me? It's Fuck with me Friday. Y' all fucking with me? Has anyone else experienced like all your friends are playing in the pool. They're Throwing those heavy little things down the. Like, fetch for human children, where you throw the weights down in the pool and then you get it and you all raised and you have to like, go to the bottom of the pool, get it, and come back up and like, whoever got. You know what I mean? I could never play that game because my ears are popping and filling with water and I'm screaming and crying and vomiting. Not vomiting. That was me being dramatic. But I am screaming and crying because. I don't know, dude. I used to have a horrible time on planes as well. It's way better now that I'm an adult. And probably because of my mirroring Godomy, because I had. I had tubes put in and then I had them removed. And I had them removed. I had one removed in high school. Dude, that's humiliating. What do you mean? I'm 15, 16 years old. I'm like. My ear tubes. Sorry. Speaking of my good ear, I had my tube removed. Your tube? Yeah, my middle ear tube. It helps with my balance sometimes. I really am Lisa from the Simpsons. Most times I'm the fucking neighbor's kid. Come on, what's his name? Simpson? Mill. Mill. Milhouse. I'm fucking Milhouse, dude. Oh, I'm Milhouse. Milhouse Van Van Houten. Van Houten, bro. I'm fucking Milhouse. She just retired in 2025. The girl who plays Milhouse. That's nuts. Yeah, I'm. I'm equal parts Milhouse, equal parts Lisa. And I want to be Maggie. Maggie's the coolest character in that whole damn show. Maybe Marge is Marge. I understand. The older I get, I'm like, marge is so valid. But at the same time, why are you with Homer? Like, I want to shake her the way I want to shake fucking Carrie Bradshaw. Why are you with him? Why are you with him? I came across this YouTube video on my YouTube homepage about an hour ago because I was watching Mina Lee. Thank you. As I do when I eat dinner. Lunch and breakfast. And this creator made this video that was like, I want to kill Mr. Big. Like, I fucking hate Mr. Big. And it was a 40 minute long video that was talking about. And the thumbnail said, I hate him. I hate, hate him. I hate him. I hate him like a hundred times with him in front of it. I feel that, by the way. Hey, I feel that also not to ruin. And just like that for you, by the way. And just like that is not worth watching. Big dies. In the first episode, the first episode, I said, I'm not obviously I'm not watching that. Because as much as I hate Big and as much as I wish that, honestly, though Carrie and Big deserve each other. I've. I've always said that dying, killing him off and not having Samantha on the series, you just yourself. You totally yourself. I'm not watching this. Okay. Okay, Mr. Big. Anyway. Milhouse. I am Milhouse. I'm Milhouse. And I'm Lisa. Oh, Marge. Why was March with Homer? I mean, I get it, I guess, right? Like, I get it to a certain extent. Like, you guys were young and in love and he used to make you laugh. Oh, how you would laugh. And now he's fat and balding and, like, is bad at his job and is an idiot. Like, is an. An oaf. He's a fucking oaf. An oaf. Do you know what I also want? Who. Who was I watching where this word came up and me and Tato, my bestie Taylor, were laughing about it. Oh, my God. Orc. I said, you look like an orc. And she said, you're a bitch. And then we started laughing because when we see fucked up things online and let me know if y' all do this with your best friend as well. When we see fucked up things online, we'll send it to each other and say, looks like. And I said her something one day. It was like this big monster and she said. I said, looks like you. She said, what is that? I said, an orc. Orc? A bullish. A brutish humanoid race of monsters from J.R.R. tolkien's Middle Earth fantasy. Yeah. Oh. I said, you look like a Orc. And she said, fuck you. And I laughed. Anyway, I also said she looked like Mudang. And I couldn't remember how to say mu dang. And I said, me dong. And that's funny. That's funny. You bitches wouldn't understand. Okay, what the hell was I talking about? Tubes in my ears. Tubes in my ears. Hands in my pants. Finger in my butt. Start digging in your butt. Start digging in. Start digging in. Start digging in. Start digging in. Dig in your butt. Digging in butt. Dig in your butt. Dig in your butt. Start digging in your butt. It's Christmas. It's Christmas. Start digging in your butt, twin. Start digging in your butt. Start digging in. Start digging in. Start digging in. Start digging in. But dig in your butt. All right, let's move on to something I wanted to Google. Why does the sun bleach things? Have y' all ever wondered that? Like, why the fuck is it taking the paint the. The pigment in the paint off of my car. It's taking the pigment out of clothing. It's taking the pigment out of rugs. It's taking the pigment out of wood. It's taking the. It's. It's. Does it affect metal? Yeah, I guess it rusts metal. Well, the sun doesn't rust metal. The oxygen rusts metal. It oxidizes. It fucking oxidizes. And the reason that bronze and copper turn blue is because it oxidizes. Just started drooling. The sun bleaches things because its ultraviolet rays break down the chemical bonds in dyes and pigments, causing them to lose their ability to absorb. Okay, you just lost me. I need to lock in. It's happening again. We're doing. We already did Britney Medical hour, We did stem hour, and now we're gonna do science hour. So here we go. UV rays break down the chemical bonds in dyes and pigments, causing them to lose their ability to absorb and reflect light in the same way they once did, rendering them colorless or faded. This process, known as photodegradation, occurs when the high energy photons in UV light. High energy photons in UV light provide enough energy to break these bonds, leading to a chemical reaction called oxidation. Bro. Why? Because it gets oxidized. I'm Milhouse. While the color doesn't physically go anywhere, the molecule's structure changes and it no longer reflects the color that defined it. Can you reverse sun bleaching? No, you cannot truly reverse sun bleaching because it causes irreversible damage to the material's pigments or DNA. However, you can treat the appearance of sun damage in several ways. Dye the fabric to restore lost color, though the damage to the fabric strength may be permanent. Hmm. Okay. Okay. Okay. So the UV breaks down the pigments in the materials. It's so crazy that the UV can bleach your hair and fabric, but it'll darken your skin. Bro, UV's fucking crazy. It's fucked. Okay, honestly, that really doesn't answer my question, because I don't understand why. Like, I still want to get down to the why. Why does UV break down the chemical bonds? UV light breaks molecules apart because its short wavelength provides enough energy for a molecule. Getting pissed off. Getting pissed off because I have to focus. I feel like I'm back at school about some bullshit I don't care about. And if there's any Broski Nation chemists. Any Broski Nation phys. Fizzy physiologists. Guys, I respect you deeply. I cannot talk to you. We have nothing in common. I. True. I don't know the first damn thing about this. Physics in high school was truly the course I struggled with the most ever in my life. Physics. Physics. And what was the other one? I really did not like chemistry, but I got through it because chemistry, after a while ended up being a math problem, right? And I'm like, I wasn't the best at math, but I figured it out. I had a grasp on it and I was able to be taught. Physics just never computed for me, which is very interesting because physics is just the explanation for how things work, which I'm very interested in. I'm always trying to figure out how things work and when it's actually explained to me like the. It's compartmentalized into the atomic makeup of things, it just does not compute to me. I'm so sorry, I don't get it. And maybe one day I will, maybe one day I won't, and maybe that day's today. And you know, when I hear uv, all I think is vision. So insane, rubbing on, reveling through my brain. Ultraviolet from Angus Fong's Imperfect snogging. Your light is ultraviolet. Vision, so we say Travel around and ignited. Your light is ultraviolet. Ultraviolet. Who sings that? Missing Aaron Taylor Johnson in this moment. Ultraviolet, Angus thongs and perfect snogging. The stiff Dylan's. Of course it was a stiff Dylan's. And were they a real band? Yes, the stiff Dylan's were a British rock band. Oh my God. And that's a cover of an Anatna song, which is. Oh, Edna swap. What the fuck? I don't care. Okay. Anyway, can you reverse unbleaching? What the fuck was I googling? Can. Why can. Okay. UV light breaks molecules apart because its short wavelength provides enough energy for a molecule's electrons to jump to a higher energy state, weakening or breaking chemical bonds. Okay, that makes sense to me. Short wavelengths provide enough energy for a molecule's electrons to jump to a higher energy state. Here's my question that I truly just marvel at sometimes. Okay, who the hell came up with that? And who the hell tested it? And who the hell was like, shout out, twin. Hell yeah, twin. You were right. Yeah, twin. We took your theory and we tested it. And you were right. This process called a photochemical reaction. Sorry, me marveling at the history of physics of just like higher level, like physics research and theory. Just marveling. And how much farther along could we be in physics research and our understanding of the natural world if we let women into research institutions way earlier than we did? How about women and people of color. How much fucking farther along could we have been? Because you guys were busy being fucking white supremacists. You held us all back. You fucked yourself. And then you said, oh, we can't figure it out. And then you had everybody else come in and say, ah, we'll do it. And then you guys took credit for it. I'm pissed off. Okay? This process, called a photochemical reaction, can cause molecules to change or fall apart entirely because shorter wavelength light carries more energy. UV light is more effective at breaking bonds and damaging molecules, including DNA, than longer wavelength visible light. Okay. The more, you know, that makes sense to me, I guess. I don't fucking know. Another thing I wanted to Google, why is coffee in Italian? Because, and let me clarify before I Google this, your coffee order is always in Italian. Americano, cappuccino, flat white, espresso, latte con leche. I think that. Well, here's my question is because cocoa or coffee beans are not only local to Italy, right? Like they come from everywhere. In fact, they import coffee beans. Import, Import. Y' all know that thing in the English language about if it's a versus if it's a ver. Hello, guys. Hello, America. Welcome back to the rescue report. Wow. Circus Afro. Circus Afro. Fuck. You know the thing about, in the English language when it's a noun, like, like report. Okay, for example, I have the report or I have something to report. Does that make sense? It's an import, but I'm importing something. Got you, Got it. It's about the emphasis on the vowel. Vowel. It's about the emphasis on the first or last vowel. And there's something similar in Spanish that's not actually similar at all. But I am going to say it anyway because now it's on my mind how to pronounce. A rule of thumb for how to pronounce a word in Spanish if you don't know and if it doesn't have a tilde, an accent on it, it's the second to last vowel sound. The second to last vowel sound. Okay, so. So like, if the word is nieve, N, I, E, V, E, which means snow. The two final vowels are both E's. Right? But you would pronounce it nieve. Okay, Juvia. Juvia. Okay. I guess that actually kind of disproves what I was about to say because, Julia, that's the third to last. You know what? We'll move on. Why is coffee called a cup of joe? The exact origin of cup of joe is debated, but common theories suggest it either refers to the average Joe, the common man and his basic drink, or it comes from a combination of the words java and mocha jamoke, or is a reference to Josephus Daniels, the Secretary of the Navy who banned alcohol in 1914, leading sailors to drink coffee. Other explanations include it being a marketing term for Joe Martinson's coffee or a simple shortening of GI Joe after World War II. So it's the same deal as. We don't know why it's called a charley horse. We just kind of accepted it. Who the hell was Charlie? Remember we looked that up that one time? It was like, the baseball player. There was some shit with a horse, and they were like, yeah, I don't know. I don't retain any of the knowledge that I Google on this podcast. I swear to God. I enter this room, I turn the lights on, I hit record. Alone, by the way. I'm in here alone. I could only create this magic in here alone. And I black out for an hour, and I just. And then I leave. And then we upload it, and then people come up to me on the street and they quote my shit back to me, and I go, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about, because I blacked out. And ultimately, I think that's. It's a blessing and a curse that I don't remember that I can just do this. But then the curse of it is, what the fuck am I talking about? What the fuck are you saying? Okay. And now I'm sitting here like, is that how nieve is spelled? Yes, it is. Juvia. Now, why doesn't that have an accent? That's actually gonna piss me off now. Vision so insane. You're pissing me off. You're pissing me off. You're pissing me off. Juvia. Juvia. Ju. Yeah. Okay, so I said it the. I pronounced it correctly, however Americanized I did. But in theory, my. My statement still stands that it's the second to last. It's the second to last vow sound. So I guess is a diphthong, so that would count as one vowel sound. Maybe that's it. Okay, any Spanish speakers in the audience who know Spanish phonetics, go ahead and let me know if you know Spanish grammar, syntax, and phonetics, go ahead and let me know why that works. I think it's because it's a diphthong. Jubia. Because it's not jubia. That would be two. Okay, we can move on. You hit one of my special interests now. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Okay, we'll go ahead and do why is coffee in Italian? Let's go back.

I mean that I would rather go on Reddit. I'd rather go on Quora. I'd rather go On Yahoo Answers in Italy. Why do they call coffee cafe instead of coffee? Maybe because it's an Italian. Fucking dumbass. The English word coffee comes from the Dutch word koffee, K O F F, I, E, which in turn comes from the Ottoman Turkish keva, which was derived from the Arabic kawa. Everything comes back to Arabic, bro. I'm telling you, everything. Like Arabic is such a fundamental language. Arabic and fucking damn Latin. English is a Germanic language. So many of its words. Is that true? I thought English was a Romance language. Is English a Germanic language? What? Yes, English is a Germanic language, specifically belonging to the West Germanic branch alongside languages like German and Dutch. There's no shot English is more closely related to German and Dutch than like Spanish and French. While English has borrowed extensively from. You know what? Actually, hell yeah. While English has borrowed extensively from other languages, particularly Latin and particularly. Shut up. Particularly Latin and French, its core grammar, core vocabulary and historical origins place it firmly within the Germanic family, which traces back to the proto Germanic language. Now, I did know that it was a proto Germanic language. And what else did I say a few episodes ago? That was a proto. In proto Indian, proto indio. I believe that's what it was. It was some word I was looking up. And what does proto mean? What does the prefix proto mean? First, foremost, earliest or original? Damn that yo yo prototype. First, foremost, earliest or original. How cool. Proto language, Protozoan, a microscopic single celled organism. Proto language, a hypothetical reconstructed ancestral language like proto Indo European. Crazy. Okay, this is cool, but it wasn't the question I googled. Why? Well, I guess it was why are coffee orders in Italian? Coffee orders are in Italian because many popular espresso based drinks like the cappuccino and cafe latte, originated in Italy, cementing the language's role in coffee culture. Italian culture has a rich history with coffee, starting with its introduction in the 16th century and evolving into the vibrant cafe culture seen today. The terms and names for these drinks, which are built around a shot of espresso, are retained in Italian because they were created there. I guess that makes sense. Coffee was introduced to Italy in the 16th century and quickly became a fixture of social life, with coffee houses Bottega del Cafe becoming centers for intellectual and political discussions. My tonsils are touching each other. Cappuccino espresso with steamed and foamed milk. Macchiato espresso with a splash of milk. And what I've been ordering recently is a flat white, which is more espresso, less milk, versus a latte, which is more milk, less espresso versus an Americano, which is espresso, a little bit of water, right? No milk. And if you order an Americano with milk, then I know the baristas behind the counter, like this dumb fucking idiot. This stupid idiot just ordered a stupid idiot drink. Yeah. Baby want milky. Baby want milky. And no coffee. I've. I have gone to coffee shops before. Back when I was still doing cow's milk. I'm off that stuff now. I'm off that stuff, man. I don't mess with that stuff anymore. Back when I was doing cow's milk with the dyed, you know, pigment pus and all that bullshit. Whatever. Added hormonal. This horseshit is in cow's milk. I don't know. Back when I was doing that and I was like, why is my stomach bleeding? I would literally. They would hand me the coffee or. You know what's a more actually apt example of this is a matcha latte. You are drinking iced milk. That is just a vessel for milk. You don't like matcha. You like milk. And if you like matcha, then put it in water, okay? Mix it up with water. Oh, you don't like it. It's because you like milk, you sissy babies. You just want. You want a sippy cup and you want some milky and that's fine because I was the same way until I started. You know, my stomach had bled until my gallbladder had been ripped out. So anyway, you know, something I want to google is what causes a hemorrhoid? But I really don't want to Google that with you guys. I think I might. That might be a Google I do on my own. I might. I might do that in solo private time incognito browser. What causes a hemorrhoid? That is two for two. Why is coffee and Italian? Oh, I wanted to talk about this. There's a new way I've been doing my makeup and don't look at me. Today, I feel like not a real person today. I'm not afraid of reds. My makeup artist, Tammy gifted me this little four pan Dior eyeshadow palette and in it it's this really beautiful, like purpley red shade along with a brown and like a shimmery and then like a black. I've been reaching for this recently because I do this. Okay. I follow this makeup artist on TikTok that I have to give you her name. I think her name is another Hannah. She is Ukrainian American, I believe. Another. Yes, Another Hannah. Her username is not underscore anotherhanna. I love her, dude. I fucking love her. She is the coolest girl I've ever seen in my whole life. She does these fucked up makeup looks, and she always does, like, the way that she puts the shadow is on the outer third and then on the inner third. Like, she makes every look a halo eye. And it's so gag the way that she does it. She is not afraid of a gray. She's not afraid of a. A dark black. She's not afraid of a pigment, of a shine, of a shimmer, of a glitter. Nothing. She bleaches her brows. She is so cool to me. And she does these looks with, like, the way that she lays and packs the powder. The shadow is so inspiring to me. And our face shapes and our eye shapes are very different. But I do think that there's a way to translate what she's doing on her canvas to me on mine. And so that's what I've been trying to do. I take a lot of inspiration from her. She also has some just fantastic views on the beauty industry and just beauty in general and the need for beauty, like the cause for beauty, an argument of beauty for yourself. It's not for the male gaze. It is not for pandering. It's not to paint, to make yourself something else. It is for fun and it's for enhancement. And it's for, you know, our idea of beauty. And by our. I mean people with taste who know what they're doing and who have an artful eye. And that's exactly what she does. She makes art out of these pigments. And it's just. I love watching her stuff. And she made this video a while ago talking about, which is a cause near and dear to my heart, about how she's given up on dating. Like, it's just really not worth her time. She has her whole life ahead of her. She has so many skills and talents. She has wonderful friendships, a great family. I think she lives in New York. Like, life is happening now. And she doesn't want to waste her life worrying if a man is going to want her. Who gives a fuck if a man's going to want her? It's her lies. There's so many other things to do. And so, like, hearing her talk about that, when she talks about it, I'm always like, yes, but yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Anyway, she does these crazy, crazy looks. And so I've been taking a lot of inspo from her lately. And I've been combining that red mo shade. I wish I knew the name of The Dior palette. Cuz it's really stunning this. This mauvey shade, but it's more plum than mauve. Mauve. I do that in the outer third and the inner third. And it's. It scared me at first because I was kind of just dicking around with makeup one night and I did that look and I was like, this color can look really sickly on me if I'm not. If I'm not careful, if I don't do it right, if I leave it, you know, unblended, unpolished. It can look like spongebob with the suds. And I don't want to do that. Okay. I don't want to look like fucking. Who's the little kid from Meet the Robinsons? Him. But the sad one who grows up into the villain. I don't wanna do that. And so I did that color. I blended it real, real light. And then I did it under my eye as well. And then I added the gray shade from the makeup by Mario palette. The neutrals, the matte neutrals, cool tone. I added that gray, really pretty gray. And I blended both together. And then I put. It's from the kimchi and trixie palette that they did together that really pretty glitter. It's like a gold champagne glitter. And then I did Space Cowboy by Urban Decay on top. Like in the little. Like a halo eye is where it's dark on the outer and inner corners and then light in the very middle. So it looks like a, you know, a spotlight, like a halo effect. And a lot of the times you'll see a halo eye with like a gloss over it to make it look really just ethereal and really stunning. It photographs really well for, like, editorial. Not the most wearable when you do the gloss option, but the way that Hannah does it is very wearable. And it just looks stunning on her, especially with her blonde eyebrows. I'm just like, she is gag. Anyway, I've started doing that and it's stunning. It's stunning. And then I pop a little tiny thin black liquid liner along my top lash line. Because if not, then the false lash looks really weird on top of it. Just because I'm so fucking white. I'm so Caucasian. And then I'll do. I'll glue a thin lash. You don't want to do too thick of a lash because then it turns into drag. You want to do all that. It's still. I'm doing daytime, I'm doing day walker, so I'll do a thin little lash that's A little heavier on the outer corner. And I've been wearing that out. And I get so many compliments. Maybe it's because it looks weird. You know, sometimes people will compliment you or you'll compliment people when they look weird. I don't know if that's. You know what I mean? I don't. But to be honest, I don't give a fuck. I don't give a. Because I thought it looked cool. Like, I took some photos. I was like, yes, give. Felt really cool. Felt really. I don't know, I just felt inspired by Hannah. Another eternal inspiration for me is Evelyn. Number one New York Times bestseller on TikTok. They are truly so worldly, so well researched, so inspired. So, I mean, I did a shoot recently. I've done multiple shoots where I've shown up. And on the vision board, there's Evelyn bitch. And I DM them afterward. And I'm like, I just want to let you know, because we have the same face. Obviously we have the same face, which really helps because when they paint, it's nice. Like, I can see what the shape and what the colors will look like on me. Our lips are a little different, but it's truly amazing what they are capable of producing. And I know that they use a lot of references from, like, I want to say, like, Galliano and obviously, like, Pat McGrath and all that, but I don't know, they turn it into something that's very uniquely Evelyn. And it's just I have followed them for forever since the pandemic and just admired from afar. So I take a lot of inspo from them. I've reblogged them on Pinterest a lot, and I think there's just such a fun, whimsical thing of experimenting with color and in a way that's wearable, you know, and anything's wearable if you're bold enough, you're brave enough. But it's also for me, like, sitting there in my glam chair and painting in my moomoo and then being like, this is fun, and then wiping it off, That's a different experience than doing that look and, like, finding an outfit that matches it, a vibe, a shoe of jewelry, you know what I mean? Like, making it part of a whole cohesive thing. That's my next step, is I want to get more kind of funky, funky jewelry. I want to get more funky with my makeup, like, how I paint, and then match that with maybe like a muted but classy, polished looking fit. Because I used to, y'. All. I used to leave the house in, like, a Nike tennis skirt and an oversized graphic T shirt and my Converse and be like, I don't give a fuck. I don't give a fuck. And I want people to know I don't give a fuck. And I would look back on pictures and I'm like, girl, you look bad. You look stupid. Like, why didn't you try? Like, I don't. I think that there's this weird feeling of, like, if I try, then that means I can be judged for it. And it's this whole. We're coming out of the era of, like, cringe. And to be cringe is to be free. Like, truly, I don't give a fuck anymore. I don't care if it's cringe. I don't care if it's chewy. I don't care if it's millennial. I'm gonna do it. Because all you have is today. Today is all we've got. Queens. I used to do that because I was like, if. If I don't try, then no one can judge me. No one can can if you say something negative to me. Well, I didn't even try. You know what I mean? Now it's like, I take more pride. I say this in a minion hat in my Fontaine's DC shirt. If I try now, I find a joy in the process of my visual representation of myself that day. That's part of almost a self care. Self care practice is the things that are happening in my head, what I'm loving, what I'm inspired by, what I want to present as that is. You know, it's part of dressing yourself. And I don't think I've. It's just the older I get, like, I didn't feel that way five years ago. I don't know if I'll feel that way in. In five years. Who knows? But I'm having fun with it right now, guys. Right now. But, but, but, baby, I swear it. I wanted to cow but on the way around I happen to fall She's a mua Carnegie. How I have a crush on a guy from Dublin. It's ridiculous. And is it Grian Chattan? Yes, but that's beside the point. There's another man from Dublin that I have a crush on. And it's. It's getting. It's getting lethal. All right, more on that later. Or maybe not at all. Here's something I want to task you guys with. Start being the friend that carries around a deck of cards. You need to be going to the club, going to the bars, going to the coffee. Lunch dates with a deck of cards teach people games. I was in Ireland two weeks ago. I got violently high at this pub we went to, and I whipped out my deck of cards and I taught people kings in the corner. And they fucking loved it. Those Irish people, they love a card game. Okay, sure, it's fun. You go to a pub, you have a couple pints with your friends, you go home. Thoughts on just whipping out cards? What if we were having this beautiful conversation over cards? What if we were stimulating our hands? Kings in the corner is a great game to just play. Anyone can play it is not hard. It's solitaire. But up to four people can play. I was having a damn blast teaching this game to people. It's very easy to pick up on. And I also think that it's a icebreaker. You know, we've never met before. Doesn't matter. Sit down. We're going to play some cards. It's good. And you're the cool girl because you have a deck of cards with you. Yes, I really would recommend that. I. I've usually carried a deck of cards with me in my backpack, but I haven't. Are you carrying a backpack for. You're 28. You need to figure that shit out. Take the backpack off. Queen. Take the backpack off. Pick up the tote. Yeah. Deck of cards. Okay, we're gonna do some ghost stories. I skipped it last week because I couldn't find the doc. Guess what? We're so fucking back because I found it. This is from Fi. She says this is going to sound really, really weird and even more stupid, but here we go. One night a few years back, right after me and my family had moved into our new current house, my friend and her sister came over to hang out. It was completely dark outside, and we had just finished watching a scary movie. My friend's sister downloaded one of those ghost finder apps on her phone. Yeah, I know, whatever. And we took it around the house to see if we could find anything. There was nothing anywhere. First of all, let me stop you right there. Why would you do that? Let me stop you right there. Why? There was nothing anywhere except in our game room. There was a ghost named Mad Dog. We asked him the routine questions. What's your name? How old are you? Are you gonna hurt us? Et cetera, et cetera. And when we asked if he was going to hurt us, he said, yes, I'm here now. And we first heard knocking on the windows, and then the lights were nonstop Flickering. I don't want to finish reading this. So what's. What's up with that? I don't want to finish reading this. Bitch. What the. No. I know you're lying. This middle school ass story. It went completely silent for a moment and the light stopped. Then my back started to burn. Burn very badly. My friend lifted up the back of my shirt with a loud gasp. There were big red streaks all down my back, like someone had scratched me. Then it happened to my friend's sister. Hers were from her collarbone to her lower back. Then the lights flickered again, rapidly and accompanied by more banging on the windows. We ran out of the room, pulling the door shut and pushing a chair in front of it. The door shook, my back stopped hurting, the lights were fine, and it was silent. That was the story that made me believe ghosts were real. Now, Mama, at what level did you invite that in? The universe is always listening. You cannot invite that stuff in, okay? That would be my advice to you, Fi, is. That's some dumbass bullshit, and I don't know why you did that. It's curiosity that killed the cat. It's curiosity that invited fucking mad dog into its house. Curiosity killed the cat. Origin. The phrase curiosity killed the cat evolved from the older expression care killed the cat, which appeared in Ben Jonson's 1598 play Every man and His Humor and William Shakespeare's Much Ado about nothing around 1600. In these early forms, care meant worry or sorrow, so worry killed the cat. The modern version with curiosity began appearing in the late 19th century, with an early printed reference found in an 1868 Irish newspaper, though the exact origin of the shift is unknown. Very interesting to me. R Etymology. Here we go. I've always heard this expression in Portuguese, my native language. Accurio, cidade, matao, ogato. Then I learned English, and there it was again. But I didn't pay much attention to it until I started studying Mandarin and found it. Can you explain where it came from and how it got into those languages? First of all, you're sick as fuck, polyglot. That's funny. I always thought it was to do with Schrodinger's cat. It's both dead and alive until you check. So curiosity killed the cat. Now, see, that makes sense to me. I think it doesn't exist in Catalan, but I've always felt it's more natural as it rhymes. La curiositat Bamatar Elgat. I like that. I like that it also exists in Turkish. I'm sorry. Hey, I'm sorry. Too much curiosity. Close the captain. Curiosity killed the cat. But satisfaction brought it back. I like that. Also, want to know something I learned recently? That was an Oscar Wilde quote. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness. Is that not gag. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness, while often shortened to imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. It's not the full one. And let me see, who did the Jack of all trades, master of none. Better to be jack of one all trades than master of none. Isn't that it? Jack of all trades, master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's actually a compliment. Okay, guys, here's some stuff for this week. If you want some merch, go to Broski Shop and be on the lookout. Something new might be coming soon. A lot of exciting things happening, happening in Broski Nation this fall season, autumn for all you Europeans. And there's an official Broski Nation playlist that Elizabeth made us go check that out. There's also an unofficial Broski Nation playlist that some loyal Broski Nation member updates weekly. Shout out to her. And now I'm gonna give you my songs of the week. Songs of the week by. Who sings that? Nation of League of Nations. Nation of Language by the League of Nations, of course. And another one by Nation of Language. We've got Weaken your light. And also Friend Machine. I've been loving them lately. We'll also go Fontaine's. I'm really, really, really deep into a Fontaine's DC kick. I always am, but it's recently been reignited. One of my. My favorite Fontaine's D.C. song probably ever. It might be Death Kink. It might be Nabokov is really good. Roman Holiday is great. Bug is great. Big is great. I think for right now, it's Skintifia. Skintifia is a song I could listen to a hundred billion times and never get tired of. Starburster. I was on that for a second, like, every single day. That's all I was listening to. And now when I hear it, I'm like, skip. Oh, my God. They've been opening with. Or maybe not opening. It's the second song with here's the thing. That crazy guitar. Here's the thing. I know you watch it. Wow. I love them. I don't belong to anyone. I was not born Winter in the sun. Obviously, Boys in the betterland I talked about oh, such a spring Months ago. How I think that song rivals like some of Lennon McCartney's best Grian Chattan. Save me Green chatting. I love you grand chatting. There is a video of Grian Chattan and Sam Fender singing in some ass pub and Lewis Capaldi is outside the door and it's the. It's. I've never seen Green laugh that hard in my life. I didn't know he could laugh like that. Okay, I can't meet Green Chat, by the way. I don't, don't. No, no. I'm gonna be real fucking weird to Green Chat if I ever meet him. Keep him away from me. No sir. And now I say that and I'm gonna fucking. I'm serious. I'm dead ass. I'm gonna be so weird and off putting to green chatting and that's not my nature. See, I sit up in this chair and I laugh and I giggle and I say I like these men. Green Chattan is a hero of mine. I can't meet him. I'm serious. I can't meet him. Okay, well guys, I think that'll do it for me this week. Keep your eyes peeled. Thanks for listening. Be good to each other, be kind, make good choices and I'll see you next week. Bye Bye.
