Direct from the Broski Nation headquarters in Los Angeles, California, this is the Broski Report with your host, Brittany Broski. Getting jacked for you, baby girl Smoke a top for your baby girl the way you make me feel these days. When is Drake going on Broadway? When? What do we have to pay monetarily to get Aubrey Graham on Broadway? Spin bout you the musical. Spin bout you the Seussical. Do y'all remember the Seussical musical? Papa. Top for you, baby girl. Seussical the Musical is a musical comedy by Lynn Aarons and Stephen Flaherty, both crazy Dr. Seuss names based on the many children's stories of Dr. Seuss, with most of its plot being based on Horton. Here's a who Gertrude McFuzz. And Horton hatches the egg. You want to know something? We did a production of Annie in middle school. I didn't even get cast. I applied. I didn't even get cast. I got cut. Like everyone was in it. I got cut. Fuck you, bitches. And in high school theater, I did Spamalot. I did the Addams Family. They always made me cross dress or dress up as some old woman. We did Bus Stop for a one act play. The fucking director made me be an old woman. In the Addams Family, I was the grandmother. In Spamalot, I was a knight. I was actually four different knights. I had the most costume changes of anyone in the fucking play because they had me play four different men. Girl, you know what? Oh my God. And one time I asked my theater director because I went to two different high schools. I asked the theater. No, no. You know that video of the girl trying to sing I will always love you? The little white girl in front of her computer where she goes, stop. I can do this. And I f. That's literally me. Okay? Musically, shut them. We're going to take that again from the top. Quiet on set, please. It's just me, guys. Quiet on set. It's a closed set. Thank you. And Freddie Benson. Three, two, three, two. Hey, what's up, you guys? Welcome back to my channel. Freddie Benson on the set of Shane Dawson. Okay. What? Sometimes I just have bid ideas and then I don't know where they're going, and then I just have to let them into the wind. Freddie Benson. ICarly. Shane Dawson. Let it fly, Let it float away. What was I talking about, y'all? Come on. Don't piss me off. Suzy. Go spam. Oh, my God. My theater director told me one time, I asked him, I said, why do I only get cast as, like, old women and, like, men? Why don't I ever get the lead? And he said, well, you know, you just got the body type for it. He basically called me fat. And he said, that's why I have to play mature women. It's because no young, able bodied woman would ever be fat. No leading lady would ever be fat. Surely you must know this. And I said, no, I get it, I get it, I get it. No, yeah, I'll play night number seven for the fifth time in a row. 100. Thanks for including me. You know what I mean? Oh, my God. One time we did. Oh, my God. Okay, lore reveal. One time in high school, we did this play called A piece of my Heart. Okay? Now this play, if you know anything about it, is actually going to be an homage to Bing, bing, Bing, the Vietnam War. This play is going to be dedicated to and a retelling of multiple different point of views of people who were involved in the Vietnam war in some capacity. Okay? Nurses, soldiers. And a lot of it is, like, staging like, like blocking it on different high risers or just like playing with texture and levels in the set. But it's a lot of just standing still, okay? It's just standing on and being like. In 1971, I was drafted into the fucking war. It was so serious. And all of us were 15, dicking around in the wings. Like, what does the fox say? Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. You know what I mean? Like, it was so don't give serious subject matter to a group of high schoolers, especially theater kids. Are you out of your fucking mind? So I auditioned for the leading lady. Of course, you're right. I didn't get it. You guessed correctly. I didn't get it. But we had to sing because of course it was a partial musical. Of course it was Vietnam the musical. And we had to do a monologue and we had to pick a song from, like, anywhere from the 50s to the 70s, okay? And I went in there and I sang California Dreaming by the Mamas and the Papas, okay? And apparently I blew everybody out of the water. I blew our director's mind because it wasn't enough to cast me as the leading lady. Of course. I still had to be sort of a cross dressing soldier in uniform. But he had me sing, and that was a real compliment. I got to come out and sing. Sometimes I feel like a motherless child. That was one that I had to sing. And then I had to sing where have all the Flowers Gone? And then I got to sing not the national anthem. What's that other one? Fields of Grain. That one. America. America. That one I got to sing. And it was at this crazy. It's so funny to look back on these art pieces, I say in thick quotation marks, that we all compiled our resources of, you know, acting ability and theatrical instinct, and we all got together to create this piece of art right at the direction of my misogynistic theater director. And, oh, he used to sleep under his desk, by the way, like at the school. And there were rats and termites in the theater and he made us clean them out. What? Anyway, that's a story for a different time. You know, it's something to be said of, like, looking back on parts of live theater that I have been a part of in so many different ways and how half of it is so much fun, but the other half is like, we really were just trying our best because the subject material was not the most sensitive or careful, you know, in the way that it approached some of these really controversial topics, like, I don't know, the Vietnam War. And it's just a bunch of 15 year olds at the direction of this, like 60 year old dude who was like, I remember Vietnam. It's like, okay, oh my God, he made us watch Platoon. That movie is gory. Platoon. I mean, obviously Vietnam War kind of speaks for itself of like, I mean, I think we're past it, right? 50, almost 60 years past it. American interference was wholly unnecessary and very characteristic of America and how we involve ourselves where we shouldn't be and how the Vietnam War kind of by all measures was a loss. It was, it was a loss. And I don't really remember the tone of the play because I was only in like four scenes and he would bring me out to sing some really sad reimagination of a Mamas and Papa song. But the overarching thing was like, it's a pride in being American, right? And having the honor, quote, unquote, to have fought in the Vietnam War. And then the other half of it is, like, the devastation that was avoidable, you know, depending on who you ask of, like, on both sides. It just was. So they also mentioned, like, Agent Orange, which was a early type of biological warfare that they. And it was just. I don't remember the exact cadence, but I remember being like, why are we doing a play about this? Other schools are doing Seussical. Why are we talking about Vietnam War, bro? We also did the Crucible. The Crucible is a great play, actually. And we did the Crucible, and we actually had a pretty wickedly talented group of actors, like high school actors. And was I cast in the Crucible? No. And did I audition? Yes. Was I in it? No. And I bet you guys are sucking on your toes now, because look where I am, okay? I'm on the Broski Report set. I bet you go to sleep every night with deep, deep seated regret that you didn't cast me in Crucible. But, yeah, all the. All the plays that we did were like, because, you know, the director picks the plays that we do, and then they announce them. And some of the theater nerds are like, piece of My Heart, that is such a reputable play. And then other of, like, the other ones are like, what the is that? You know what I mean? But I got to learn a lot about the Vietnam War, which I guess that's part of. He did his due diligence, and I guess teaching us of. Here's a piece of history that you are going to have to research to accurately portray. Accurately portray. I was 15, and it's like, you know, I can look back at it now and be like, what the fuck was wrong with him? And my high school and the termites at our Black Box theater had black mold in it. And that's fine. Okay, whatever. Because what do we know about America? No education funding. Okay? So when you kind of make peace with that, you'll be golden. Okay? You just gotta make the most of your high school experience. Our high school, because I went to two different high schools. That first one was your classic run of the mill. Like, this place is a freaking dumb, but it had character, you know? And the athletics departments were all new. They had new locker rooms and new this. It was so nice and whatever. And then the theater wings, we were banished to the whole complete opposite side of the school from anything that you would want to see because this theater was falling apart. The seats in the auditorium were, like, just so mildewy. And moldy. But it's one of those visceral things where if I were to step back into that audience, that auditorium today, I'd be like, oh my God, I'm late for rehearsal. You know what I mean? The smell of it, the feel of like the rungs on the ladder as you would climb up to be crew and tech and then the wings and how to operate the. It was like I would know what to do if I went back. It's crazy. Why the fuck was I talking about Peace of My Heart, by the way? Oh, Seussical. Yeah. Why didn't we just do Seussical? You know what I mean we were doing. Which I do appreciate to a certain extent. Our theater director tried to culture us, I guess, and the way that he knew doing things like Bus Stop and the Crucible and Peace of My Heart, like it's this homage to, you know, the 50s to the 70s, because that's when he grew up. And so he wanted to recreate art with a new generation of things he knew. And I think there are such interesting choices that we could have done that could have cultured us in other ways. But, you know, whatever. For better or worse. And when we got to. When I got to my second high school, we did a bunch of different productions. Again, never was cast as the lead because I was kind of chunky. Okay? And that. That's going to be a one way ticket to supporting actress. Okay? That's going to be a one way ticket to. You are in the ensemble. You're fat, you're in the ensemble. Sorry, have you tried losing weight? Then maybe you could be the leading lady. No one wants to look at a fat, nasty ogre singing, okay? I don't give a fuck if you can sing well. I don't care if you act well. You're a big girl. I want you in the back, okay? We need some space filler. We need you up on a high rise. We need you up there and we need you to just belt, okay? Because the leading lady can't sing. Everyone knows that. So we need you to carry from either off stage where no one can see you, or back in the ensemble, okay? Thank you so much. We did the Addams Family and bitch. Fuck my theater director, by the way, at my second high school. Fuck you. Oh, my God. Fuck you. That bitch traumatized me. And I don't herbert hate in my heart, but fuck you and you know who you are. Oh, my God, she was awful. Like truly. And I say this very genuinely and it actually makes me sad to this day. When I graduated high school, I had dreams of, like, continuing theater into, like, as a recreational thing, you know, I would go to college, get a business degree, whatever, and I would do theater and improv on the side because I loved it. It was my passion, okay? The community, like, the jokes, the inside jokes, the feeling of being on a stage, like, all. I loved it so much and I was good at it. That bitch literally drained me of my passion for it because she was so awful to me and singled me out. And everyone knew it. But they can't help because if you, you know, speak up for one of your friends, then you're not going to get a part. So it was really f for yourself, which I understood. My parents had to get involved at one point. Like, she was so awful to me. Anyway, look where I am now. You know what I mean? And I heard that this bitch still, like, claims that I was her star pupil. I hex your bloodline. I hex your bloodline and every generation that will come from your womb. Fuck you, girl. Anyway.

So we did a couple productions while I was there. I was always an alternate. I was always ensemble. I was always whatever. But then alternatively, I was in the improv troupe. And when we would do improv shows, I was the star pupil. Like I would do, I would carry the improv troupe because I know that I'm funny and I know that my ability to banter and hold my own within a room, I know my talent. Do you know what I mean? And when someone doesn't know how to manage your talent or handle it or properly sort of categorize it, it's wasted. So thank fuck that I, like found a creative outlet in my adult years. Because in high school I truly felt squashed. And I had so much fun doing the sort of. Because it was through the school, I never did any community theater or anything like that. I wasn't that gung ho about it. Like, I'm gonna go to Juilliard, like that sort of thing. I was never that, like, I had realistic expectations of I'm gonna go to a college in Texas and I'll get a useful degree, I'll get a normal job, but this is always going to be a passion of mine and I'll be involved in my free time. You know what I mean? That was going to be sort of the goal. I just, by the end of high school, I was like, fuck this and fuck all of y'all and fuck this culture and fuck the people and fuck these rules and fuck how they pick apart people's bodies and all this. Like, really, at the end of the day, what are we doing? We're memorizing lines and we're getting up on a stage to perform. It is not that serious. I promise you it's not. And Also, consider we're 17. I'm 17 years old and you are traumatizing me. It was. Anyway, so we did spam a lot and that was where I played four different nights. And then we did. They did a one act play that of course, I was a lovely fifth alternate for. I wasn't even in the fucking play called all the King's Men. To this day, couldn't really tell you what the it was about. I couldn't tell you what it was about. I dicked around so much because at that point, fuck the director, okay? I was only there to hang out with my friends and you're gonna make me a fifth alternate. There were like, if someone got sick Someone would fill in before I filled in. Do you know what I mean? I never memorized the lines. And there was one. I still have nightmares about this to this day, to be honest. I have two actually. We're gonna talk about that today. Recurring nightmares or recurring dreams? One of them is my teeth falling out, like, crumbling in my mouth. And as I'm trying to talk to someone, I'm like spitting parts of my tooth at them and I'm like swallowing. I'm going to gag. Actually, that's one of my recurring dreams. And the other one is at this one act play in high school where I was the fifth alternate. I'm sitting in the audience, like, giggling, gaggling with the other alternates, like, with the crew, like, we're just around having fun. It sweeps through the cast that the one of the girls is sick and we need an alternate to fill in. Well, the other two alternates were men. And then one alternate was already filling in and so it was me. And I was like, I don't have these lines memorized. I have not looked at the script since the first week we started rehearsing. We're like three months into this. I have. I don't have anything memorized. Truly. I was horrified. I was like, I'm going to have to go on stage and improv for a one act play. For any of y'all out there that don't know what a one act play is. You rehearse this to the point of perfection because you are competing against other schools, other districts, other high schools. There's like a state level championship competition for one act plays, okay? Like UIL one act plays. We got pretty far. Well, I say we. I wasn't in the fucking production. And the minute that they tried to put me in it, I freaked out. But, like, I still had to travel with them. And if I didn't, I was considered not a team player. And all this, it was really just an excuse to see my friends. This happened, okay, where she got sick. Like, one of the girls got sick. They were like, britney, you're up. I said, oh, right. I'm in the bathroom having a panic attack. Like, please, God, please God, please God, let her get better, Larry. Get better. I don't know. Any signs of a freak out? Like having a friend freak out in the bathroom with the. I'm like, does anyone have the script? We've been off book for three months. Does anyone have the script? I'm trying to look it up on my phone. No WI fi. I'm like, oh, my God, I didn't freak out. She comes into the bathroom and she goes, britney, I'm feeling better. I think. I think I'm gonna perform. Oh. Oh. God is real. Our God is an awesome God he reigns from heaven above in the world that our God is an awesome God Truly Praise worship music in the bathroom. I was so relieved. Even now it gives me anxiety thinking about it. Like, I. So I'll have this recurring dream sometimes where I'm in the bathroom and someone's knocking on the stall. Like, Britney, we go on in 10. Come on. Like, you need to get in the. And then it. Like, the dress didn't fit. Her dress didn't fit. It was a fucking nightmare. Thank God that she felt better, because I could. I would have tanked the whole show. And this was at a competition. We were competing. We had traveled to a different school. Yeah, that was the first and last time I ever showed up to something unprepared. Do you know what I mean? I quickly learned something about myself that day where I was like, I need to be prepared to succeed. And I know that seems like a very cliche, simple statement, but some people prefer to go into a situation unprepared, not. Not briefed. You know, just like, I'll figure it out because improv's my thing. Yeah, improv is my thing too. But I feel confident when I am prepared. Okay. For Royal Court, when we do those episodes, it is written. I have practiced some of the questions. I've scrapped some last minute because I'm thinking, okay, if their reaction is this, then I need to do that. Okay, so go ahead and just take that. It's like that. I feel ready to do my best work when I'm prepared. And there's a certain level of improv that you have to do, but oh my God, I will never put myself in a position like that again. Truly, it traumatized me. Anyway, this episode is sponsored by Dipsea. Calling all the romance lovers.

Does anyone mind? There was in this one act, like some of the shows that we went against because we were doing all the Kingsmen, some of the other schools were doing different productions. I have always been a part of theater that is like here's the script, here's the time period. We're going to dress accordingly. We're going to deliver the lines, sure, with some direction from the director, but at the end of the day it's about your interpretation of the character and what voice you choose to bring to that character within the larger story, right? This is all very simple. We went up against a school that did Julius Caesar, okay, the Shakespeare play, and they did it in complete Shakespearean English. They didn't like adapt it to modern day and they did it in the style of Nazi Germany. And how Julius Caesar was like this almost dictator like autocrat that was unruly and everyone knows the story of Julius Caesar where he gets killed by his senate and whatever ET brute, all that. The director who was like the Nick Saban of high school theater, just a real stickler. Nick Saban is the coach of the Crimson Tide Alabama football team. Okay. He is known for being just Cruel, but they're one of the best football teams to college football teams to ever exist. So it's this trade off of like, yeah, he's cruel and the players are traumatized, but they win all the fucking time. So it was a similar thing with this director where everyone knew, even us at a different school, we were like, this guy is using unethical means of like, directing his cast. And they had to be in character all the time. Okay? So doing Julius Caesar as interpreted into a more modern understanding of what Julius Caesar would have been to his people, which is Hitler, you know, and that. I don't know if that's a stretch. I really don't know if Julius Caesar was that awful. Sounds like it probably. But I just. We sat down to watch this and it was chilling because they had all these like, again, don't really know the morality of this, but they had like, Nazi flags. And all of them were in the boots and the military uniforms. And as they were walking from, like, their bus to the dressing room to whatever, he made them march. He made them line up against the wall like a military unit. And the rest of us, we're walking to our dressing room like, my name, Jeff, like doing Vines and quoting Internet shit. And then they're so dead ass serious. And I was like, this is a different level of direction, but also this has to be psychologically damaging to some of these kids. So they did, and we saw this, and I was like, is that a fucking Nazi flag? What is going on? And we sit down in the theater after our school has gone, we sit down, we changed, whatever, to watch their production of Julius Caesar. It blew my freaking mind because of the way the director interpreted the story of Julius Caesar to be something that's a bit more recent in history and that kind of is widespread. Understood. Here is someone who rose to power and had terrifying messaging ideals and influence over people and had a terrifying military force. So all of these parallels, I just think in the mind of the director, was so creative and so well done because you come out like you're sitting in the audience and you're waiting for the production to begin, and all you see is a spotlight shown on a Nazi flag. What the fuck is going on? And I think that's what live theater should evoke in you. Is this disturbed. What is this? You're intrigued. And as the show went on, the acting was incredible. Like, I. They did it in Shakespearean English, and I understood every word because the way that they acted it out, that's how it fucking should be. Do you know what I mean? When David Tennant, when Andrew Scott, when they do Shakespeare. I get it and I believe it because they're good. And that was how this was. And I was like, I've never sat down to really. We had to read Julius Caesar, Romeo Juliet in high school. Fucking whatever. This changed my life. Like truly. I still think about it to this day because I'm like, what? Not the Nazi shit but like in the eyes of the director trying to make a parallel. That is understandable that you know how it ends that honestly, what a. What a cool through line, you know, of like different periods of history and a similar story. Because humanity is predictable. We will always. Pride. Always go with before the fall are hubris. Okay. Hubris. Isn't that it? Man's ego. Hu. Hubris. Hubris is a personality trait that involves excessive pride, arrogance and overconfidence. Anyway, yeah, it was. It was this because. What am I talking about? I'm talking about how to be inventive with a script and with a story and fuck kind of both of my theater directors because they lacked that creativity. That is. Is what is fun about live theater and live performance is that this story has been told over and over and over. What new perspective are you bringing to it? And you know, you can have a very talented cast of 17, 18 year old actors, which is what we had. Like our. Our whole thing was we had senior boys. The senior boys. And I think the director wanted to fuck the senior boys. And she hated women, especially funny women. I genuinely believe that to my core. And I will die on that hill because the way that she treated these senior boys. They showed up high, they were drunk on stage. So much shit went down at my high school and the director didn't give a fuck. No one ever got in trouble except me. It was so. It was. I'm actually gonna get pissed all over again. I do think she had some weird affinity for the senior boys. And she had a senior boy who was a son who was like new to the school and she wanted him to be friends with. It was fun. Weird. Anyway, she picked a play which was all the King's Men, which is a cast of all men and then just women in the ensemble. And women is like there's two supporting roles that are women and there's this scary like assault scene that they kept in. I just. There's not. I just resent that choice of. Of media to have a bunch of high schoolers portray. Do you know what I mean? Like there are so many more relevant stories that a group of young talented people like that would have fun doing. And with one act, you know, there has to be a level of seriousness where you wouldn't really go in and do a comedy unless you were really fucking good at the comedy, which usually high schoolers are not. So. But the whole experience was, I'm glad I did it and I'm glad I got to witness it because it taught me a lot about myself and it taught me a lot about self advocacy and also how that was honestly my first peek into entertainment. And like, these people are not. Well, they are not okay. If you have the gut urge to entertain or to direct or to be involved in a managerial capacity in any sense, like around a group of young performers, you are ill and sick in the head. You have to be. I think this industry makes you sick in the head. And a lot of high school theater directors, they're just, you know, they wanted to make it in New York and they failed. And so they moved back to their hometown and they become high school theater directors. And you know what? Any proximity to the craft that you love, fucking do it, I guess. But oh my God, why do you have to traumatize the children? When my theater director told me I was fat, Fuck. Shit. Well, somebody had to tell me, I guess. It's not like I knew. It's not like I looked in the mirror every day and fucking knew. Oh, because this 58 year old man had told me I'm fat. And that's why I don't get lead roles. Okay, got it, got it, got it, got it. Just ridiculous. So let's go back to the dreams. That was a 30 minute rant about theater. Sorry about that. I feel like I talk about theater a lot, like, oh, I was a theater kid, I was theater kid, whatever. But the experience of actually being in the theater I still think of fondly. You know, I still have really great memories and I remember the cast and the feeling of being a part of the cast and how when there's an inside joke, everyone gets it because it's about the subject material that kind of, you know, you can't recreate that anywhere else, I don't think. Unless it's, you know, if you're in a choir or something like that. But then again, choir kids are freaking weirdos. Theater kids are weird, but choir kids are freaking stickler weirdos. Okay? And so there was this. I missed the theater, but I also had such a negative experience because of the adults who ran the program. And I think that is such a waste and it's such a shame because you kind of dimmed my light, you know, you dimmed my light by being so cruel and being exclusionary and being unnecessarily, like, combative. Why are you fighting me? I'm 17. I can't vote. Like you're beefing with me. That's so embarrassing. That's embarrassing for you. I'm a child. Anyway, okay, So I actually wanted to look up what one of these recurring dreams means because it's understood, like me forgetting my lines, not being prepared. That's an anxiety dream, okay? Of when I'm feeling anxious. Sometimes that shit will come up in my subconscious and now whatever. But the tooth crumbling one. Stanley says that there's no validity to, you know, this dream means X. Like, and what Dallee always said of our subconscious doesn't have meaning. It's just that it's just subconscious. It's just thoughts swirling around. They don't have any inherent meaning. And if you seek meaning from surrealist works, you're going to be disappointed because there's no hidden meaning. There's no hidden Mickey in a Salvador Dali painting. Stanley's kind of of the same opinion. Because we talked about this recently and I was like, you know what, I don't know if I agree because there has to be a reason that it's a repeat dream. I would understand if it was a one off thing. Like, yeah, I don't know what the fuck that was about or if I didn't remember it, but I have this dream often enough where I'm like, it's the tooth tooth dream again. So let's, let's look it up. Teeth crumbling in mouth dream. Look, it's a common thing. Some. Okay, this is from Glynis Katzmark, dds. She's a dentist in Houston. Why is this on the her website? This is crazy. In your nightmare, your teeth begin to deteriorate, disintegrate, or even fall out. You watch as your once whole smile falls to pieces, leaving naked gums behind. When you wake up, you feel restless, nervous and worried. Perhaps you put your hand to your mouth or run to the bathroom mirror just to make sure your teeth are still there. I do that. Of course they are. But you're still left wondering, why did I ever dream that? Scientists have studied sleep and dreaming extensively, but there's no definitive way to interpret the meaning of everyone's dreams. Some believe that the dream about teeth crumbling or falling out is caused by a loss of power or control over a situation. Has something happened in your Personal or professional affairs that you feel powerless to stop. Are you feeling anxiety over a loss of control in your life? Others think that teeth crumbling or falling out is a sign that you may have said something you now regret. That might be more accurate for me, when I. Because I've tried to put two and two together, I've thought about this a lot of when my teeth are literally crumbling in my mouth and I'm talking to someone and I'm hitting them with pieces of my tooth. Ew. That's gonna make me gag. I think it's like, there's that element of embarrassment that's associated with that. Like, if you spit on someone by accident, it's like, oh, my God, I just spit on you. I'm so sorry. If it's my tooth hitting them, like, in the face or on their shirt, I'm humiliated. So it must be something linked with I said something I'm embarrassed about or that I regret or that, you know, I am still thinking about that conversation in a way that has left me. I have unresolved feelings about it. I've thought about all this, and I'm trying to remember any specifics of when I've had this dream and any specific situations, and I can't because they just happen randomly. And I wake up so stressed out. Like, so stressed out. And some of the dreams, because I've read these two, or the interpretation is like, you just have anxiety. Yeah, bitch. No shit. Why? Why? And why can't I curb it? You know what I mean? Like, even in my subconscious, and I don't think I've ever knock on wood, ground my teeth in my sleep, but I wake up like this. Like, I wake up with my brow furrowed and I have these deep. It's actually cute. My mom has a very deep line right here because that's what. We're very expressive with our faces. We've never got Botox. We've never. Whatever. I have a very malleable face, and so does my mom, and she's got this line right here in between her eyebrows. And she's always like, I'm gonna get this taken care of. Whatever. I have two, which is what my dad has, I think. So it's. It's interesting of, like, I watch her complain about that. And I never, I was, I kind of just listened to her. And now the older I get, I'm like, oh, my God, I have it. And it's because I'm stressed out all the time. I, I, my. I wake up like this. Genuinely. I wake up like in Confused and I feel like Sam the eagle from the Muppets. Do you know him? This episode is sponsored by zocdoc. Sometimes searching for the right doctor is like a bad Mad Libs.

People are just out here like certified in dreams. How to become a professional Dream Interpreter. If we've made it to quora quora.com. all my life. Here's a girl, okay? All my life I've been interested in all things psychic and mysterious. This includes dreams. When I was a child, I believed there was a message in my dreams, and I would sometimes write them up as stories. I also had an auntie who would read me astrology books and show me tarot cards when I was young as four. Well, that's all I need to know about this. I want to know, like, someone who did not grow up in a mystic family or with mystic influence. I want a scientific, sort of like almost sociologic, sociological interpretation of, like, studying it on a wider scale of around this time period. Like in the 70s and 80s, what were people dreaming about? In the 90s to 2000s, what were people dreaming about? And that's so broad, but there are ways to put it in a graphic or in a spreadsheet. You know what I mean? Like trending topics. I'm sure that appearance now with social media more than ever, is manifesting in, like, anxious dreams like that, you know, of. Appearance has never been more highly prioritized, which is saying a lot because we're coming from. I mean, people's appearances have always been picked apart. And, you know, as humans, this is how we present to each other. It's how we peacock to each other, is, look how beautiful I am. And more beautiful people get special treatment. You know what I mean? That's just how our society works. But in recent years, where it's never been more. The comparison has never been more democratic. Do you know what I mean? In the 90s and the 70s, in the 50s, it has always been, here's a celebrity, okay? Marilyn Monroe, Pamela Anderson, who's from the 70s, Cher, okay? Here are women that are beautiful and they're famous because they're talented and beautiful. Now, you don't have to be talented. You don't even have to be that famous to be an object of envy, an object of coveted desire, okay? And I say object as a sarcastic word, okay? I think that now it's become very democratic that anyone you see on your timeline, you have the instinct, because social media has taught you in a Pavlovian conditioning sort of way to be jealous of the people in your life and the people that you see online. Well, she has the perfect nose, she has the perfect waist. He has the perfect hairline. She's got whatever. And you're constantly getting just berated from all angles of like, here's someone more perfect than you. Here's someone who's better than you. Here's whatever the. Knowing that all these people have had procedures, by the way, I think that honestly that's a whole separate conversation that I kind of want to talk about. Of like, okay, great. We're more open about talking about, okay, this person got a nose job, this person got a bbl. And they didn't outwardly like, you know, publicly say it, but they've said it privately and it's sort of accepted that everyone knows that so and so got a nose job. You know what I mean? Like, it's more common that people know now, but it doesn't stop the procedures. But there's something cool shifting in culture right now where and I feel the need to say this because I feel like HRH collection, if you have gotten work done, power to you, okay? If it helped, if it made you feel better, that's great and I'm happy that you're happy. Now on the flip side, okay, the availability and accessibility of getting life altering procedures like a BBL or like veneers or like a hair transplant that I don't, I don't want to give statistics, but like, I've seen so many flops, I've seen so many botches, I've seen so many failed attempts at a BBL or at a hair transplant or at veneers that end up costing you so much more money down the line because that doctor was a dumbass, okay? Or you cut corners and you went to a different country or you got it cheap or you did this and then you're shocked when it doesn't. You know, in 15 years the BBL's hanging somewhere around your mid thigh. It's like, I don't think that people are forward thinking enough to really think about the ramifications of a life altering surgery like that. And we're already seeing the fucking Kardashians getting their bbls dissolved. And so where does that leave you? You know, you spent tens of thousands of dollars on this procedure to look like someone who you find beautiful. And now that person or the original person who got the procedure hates it. They still hate themselves. And I saw this TikTok the other day where I was like, that's so fucking true. Where you get one thing done and for some people that's enough. You know, if your whole life you've just really had like a mental war with your nose or with your, you know, jowls or your whatever and you got that one thing done and that was enough, period. But more often than not, that's not the Case, you know, the more plastic surgery you get, the more plastic surgery you get. When you get lip filler, you know it's addictive. And then you keep doing it, and then soon enough, your lips are too big, so you have to get your cheeks done to balance it out. Well, now your cheeks are done. Now you got to get your jaw done. Well, now your nose is weird, so you need to do something about that hump in your nose. Well, now everything's sagging because it's been in there for seven years. You need a facelift, and then by that point, you look like the fucking wax cat lady. Do you know what I'm talking about? This girl, the cat lady, Jocelyn Wildstein. Crazy. And I'm not. Again, this is such a delicate conversation, but I do kind of want to speak freely of, like, I completely understand and validate this need to change your appearance. Trust me, I get it. And if you've done it, I get it. Okay? But I do want to have a more realistic conversation about from the people who have gotten work done, what would you do differently? And do you regret it at all? Or do you regret the money that you spent on that that you probably should have spent on something else? And was it worth it? Because in some cases, yes, it definitely was. You know, and if it's something that it's just that one off thing, or your whole life you've been wanting to do it and you did it and you feel better, fucking period. Love that for you, but I don't think that that decision should be as easy to get as it is, if that makes sense. Do you know what I mean? Like, there should be a more. I know we live in America and everyone has autonomy and it's liberty and freedom and all that, but these are very serious medical procedures that are cosmetic and they're not. Like, things can go so wrong and affect your health. And that's. That's more. Where I'm coming from is like, filler doesn't just go away. It doesn't dissolve or get smaller. It just migrates. We know this and. And we see these scans of people who have gotten filler, and you get it dissolved and it's still in your face, okay? And it'll be there. And we don't know the health ramifications of this. We don't know what that is going to do to your body long term with a lot of things with vapes, with these semaglutides, with all these things that SSRIs. We don't know the long term effects of some of these. So it is a gamble and life is short. Do what you want. I completely validate that. But I don't know, man. I'm seeing more and more tiktoks every day of people being like, I got this work done and I want to be a voice to people. Don't get veneers, don't get, you know, a bbl, don't do this, don't whatever. And I'm like, God, what a crazy turn from like when the Kardashians first did their thing in what, 2011, 2012 to now where everyone on Instagram has a BBL. And I want to see the negative side of it, you know, like the scars, the scarring is crazy. And I, I don't, I think that we are talking about it, but I don't know what the shift is and I, I don't know, I hope that it reverts back to this, you know, after this Covid burst of celebrity worship and the bbls and changing your body and everyone wants to look like an IG baddie. When Kim Kardashian rented out that island, something shifted. Do you know what I mean? And I talk about this a lot where this wealth gap has never been more clear. And I think people started as the shift happened, where people started gearing more towards relatable influencers and people who look like them, who live normal lives, who are just, you know, entertaining people, but they're normal. Something shifted as well with beauty culture where, I don't know, I think people are which this should happen. People are embracing their natural beauty because that's what makes us unique and it's what makes us beautiful. If we all have the same face, that face doesn't fit on every body type, that face doesn't fit on every complexion, that face doesn't fit. You know what I mean? Why would you change the way that the features that you were given that make you uniquely you change that for what? To appease men? Cringe? Because at the end of the day, why are you changing your appearance? I want you to sit in that question. Why do I feel the need to change my appearance? Who am I doing that for? Who am I trying to impress? And if you don't have the answer, that's okay. Just think on it a bit more. If y'all are thinking about getting a procedure done, I just urge you to think about it a bit more because I'm sitting here looking at this cat lady and it just makes me sad. What a deep rooted discomfort with yourself. And how you look, you know? And it's an addiction. It really is an addiction. And I just feel so horribly for having these people who have done all these procedures, spent so much money, and they still fucking hate how they look. You got scammed. You got scammed. You fell for it. Do you know what I mean? Wake up, sheeple. Wake up. These doctors, these private practices, these. They just want your money. They don't give a fuck if it looks good. It's crazy anyway. Oh, my God, y'all. This is a complete pivot. I went to the Joker premiere, okay, with my mother. I don't know if I've talked about this already. I went to the Joker Folia Deux premiere. I was waiting in line to walk the carpet, okay? And it was so humiliating because all the paparazzi and, like, the Getty Images, all this da, da, da, were there, and they're all behind this big barricade because Gaga, Joaquin Phoenix, Todd, Phil, all these fucking people were going to be there. Also. Why? Why? Side note, why was Tim Dillon and Joker Folio Du? He came up on the screen, and I looked at my mom. I said, that's Tim Dillon. She said, who is that? I said, he's a comedian. You wouldn't get it. He's, like, really sarcastic and cynical. You wouldn't get it. I was freaking the fuck out. Why is tim Dillon in Joker 2 anyway? Nice little Easter egg. That. That was for Broski Nation. I was like, I love Tim Dylan. Anyway, we go to the premiere and we do the carpet. And it's just one roaming photographer on the carpet because they're waiting for the principal talent to get there. They don't give a fuck about influencers because why would you? I don't either. Do you know what I mean? But I was invited, and I was like, I'll be my mom. And so we went. It was really fun. And we walked the car. It was just one guy by the camera. He said, here, what's the name? And my publicist was like, brittany Broski. And he goes, okay, takes one, Count em, one photo. Thank you. It was so funny. I was like, oh, thank you so much, sir. Thank you. No, thank you. Because I've been on some carpets where it's Brittany over here, over here, over here. You know what I mean? Like, House of the Dragon, that sort of thing. It's like, because you're the host and you're important for some of these carpets. It's like, what's your fucking name? All right, move on. Next. Like, moving cattle they were tagging cattle on this carpet. I was heifer number four. Anyway, that was so funny because I'm all, okay, night, close up, fucking glam. To the guy, I've been in the glam chair for three hours. I'm sucking in my gut. I'm like. And then it was one photo, and it just flashed. And he said, next. I said, oh, thank you, sir. This way? Yeah, this way. Okay, thank you. Have a good one. So funny. And then by the time Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix and all them got there, it was so funny. Anyway, as we're waiting in line to walk that little carpet, I look behind me, and who do I see except Leah and Miguel from Love Island. I don't really get, like, that about reality people, okay? And for the first time in my life, I saw them in the flesh. And I turned around and I immediately. I get it. You know what I mean? Like, I've been in public spaces where I meet some of y'all, or I meet. I see people who I know recognize me, but they're not going to come up to me. And I'm always like, what's going on in their head? You know what I mean? Like, what's that deciding factor of. Okay, fuck it. I'm gonna go say something. Do you know what I mean? And sometimes it's rude. Sometimes it's like, I know you're eating dinner with your family, and I clearly see it's your sister's birthday and you guys were laughing, but could I get a Victor, like, girl, read the room? You know what I mean? But if I'm just walking. Sure. Like, that's. You know what I mean? It's just sort of like a Read the room. I have always seen people, like, at Disney or wherever do that to me. Where they'll see them and they'll completely turn around and they'll talk to their friend, and then their friend is doing one of these, you know, like, looking. And it's like, I've also seen people pull up Instagram and look at my tattoos. They're like. And I'm like, I watch all this happening, and if I'm not watching it, then whoever I'm with is like, yep, they're coming up. Yep. They're pulling up your Instagram. Yep. Coming over. So it's funny because I know what's happening, but I've never experienced that as the fan, you know what I mean? Because when I see a famous person, I'm not going to run up. You're like, I don't want to Bother them. Unless it's like a. I don't know. I think I'm also very, very privileged in the sense that when I'm meeting a celebrity, it's usually to sit down to interview them, which is so crazy. But I'm in a different headspace, you know what I mean? Where it's not so much like I'm a fan. It's I'm here to do a job, and I want to make you comfortable, and I want to make the content good. So I'm in that, like, workflow headspace. This bitch. I was caught off guard. I turned around, I said, mom, mom, mom. Do you know who that is? And she looked behind me. She said, no. She said, she's very beautiful. I said, mom, that's Leah from Long Island. She said, what? I said, leah and Miguel from Long Island. Ex nay on UK lay in the ag bay. Monsters, Inc. I was speaking pig Latin to my mom. Mom, UK lay e behind me. That wasn't pig Latin. That scene. We're in Monsters, Inc. They're in the nice monster sushi restaurant, and Sully comes and sits down. He crashes Mike's date with Celia. And he comes in and he's like, mike, I lost. And he goes, oklahoma, in the egg bag. Because he's got his little Monsters, Inc. Bag under the table. Okay. Did I paint the picture? Put it up here. Put the screen grab up here. Okay. That was me, mom. Okay? @ Ela Leah. And so she didn't know. And I was like, I'm in this alone. So I took a deep breath, I turned around, I said, bitch, I love you. And she goes, oh, my God. Thanks. I was like, I watch all of your vlogs. I think you are so cute and funny. And I turned around, Miguel. I said, and you too, bitch. Love you, too. And he was like, oh, than. And I said, I watched y'all build that popcorn machine together. I watched you get ready for fashion week. I love you. And she was so nice. She didn't know who I was. Oh, humbled. Humbled. Immediately floored. Gagged. Wigged. Scalped. Scalpel. I was like, that is so funny. And I texted my friend afterward. And I was like, I just met Lea and Miguel because we watch it together. The show. I was like, I just met Leah and Miguel. I was so boogie. And he was like, oh, my God. Why did your mom not freak out with you? And I was like, I know, bro. You have to watch the show to understand. Because I don't get like that. Like, I get like that about Musicians. Truly. Like, I freak the fuck out about musicians. Leah and Miguel just do it for me. I don't know. Serena and Cordell were there too. I didn't see them because I think they came later than me to do the carpet. But they sat across the aisle and I heard Serena's laugh and I said, oh, my God, I'm addicted to her, bitch. I truly. She looks so good, too. She looks so good. I'm addicted. And they're so cute together. Oh, my God. I really hope they stay together. Anyway, that I just had to share that because that is my first ever. Like, I freaked out. I kind of embarrassed myself when I met her. I just love her. I'm so embarrassed. And I know she heard me whispering, mom, that's Leah moment. She was like, okay, honey. Anyway, that was crazy. I love Leah. And I watched her call her daddy episode. And it was tea. Okay, fine.
