Yeah, I love you. Kissing you in public, making nothing of you. I need you in my life. Yeah. All day, every day, I need you. And every time I see you, the feelings get deeper. I miss you. I miss you. I really want to kiss you, but I can't. Y'all get into this shit. God bless America, team. We are almost done with this, guys. What a year it's been. You know what I mean? Horrifying in so many ways. Very beautiful in so many other ways. Good morning, Broski Nation. Good evening, Broski Nation. Wherever the hell you are on this planet earth today, thank you for being here. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you for bringing these people together since the community. I mean it, Lord. I'm so, so eternally grateful to you, Lord. That kind of turned into Matthew McConaughey for a second, Lord. Well, I'm actually. That was more Dolly, actually. I'm just going to stop along my head. You know what I mean, y'all? Lots to get into today. Okay, as we're summarizing the year, here was my concept. We're going to do a Brittany Broski wrapped. We're going to do a Broski report wrapped. Brittney Broski. Copyright, trademark wrapped. Some of my favorite things of the year. Some things that may have slipped through the cracks that I would like to bring back up into the cultural zeitgeist. Perhaps one of them being the Zach Brown Band. Okay, what happened to them? I saw them at a Jimmy Buffett tribute and I was like, God damn, the Zach Brown Band. You know, little bit of chicken fries, cold beer on Friday night, pair of jeans fit just right and a radio bring them back. God, we just need some feel good music. Save us, Zach Brown Band. Save us, Zach Brown Band. Please. Got my toes in the water. Ass in the sand, not a worry in the world of cold beer. You know what I mean? That's. That recession, music. It's like, yeah, the world is crumbling, but you got your cold beer. I'd like to introduce drinking beer into the sort of girls and gays community. I feel like we can reclaim what beer represents to a lot of straight men. I. I would propose that, okay, maybe if we put. Thinking about the time I went to Ireland and I asked them if they could put some Sprite in my beer. Whatever, whatever. And whoever just fucking laughed get guards. I guess we can't put Sprite and beer anymore. I'm sorry. When did fun become illegal? When did we outlaw fun and creativity in the workplace? Fucking bitch. Okay, here's another thing I wanted to briefly introduce before I move on is I'm just gonna put my cards out on the table. Yes. Okay. I am sexually attracted to the Grinch, who is at Universal Studios. I am sexually attracted to whatever the man is inside the costume where he banters with the people. He acts like the Grinch. He's mean as fuck to some of the kids. I am sexually attracted to him in a way that's slightly concerning. I. I get so many videos of the Grinch. Just like, Top five Grinch Roasting Strangers compilation number five. And someone went up to him and tried to do the gin Alpha, like, Gen 1 meme of, okay, me when I got knee surgery tomorrow. Have y'all seen this? It's like the new. I sound old. I'm not. I'm actually going to rephrase how I said that, because that made me feel really bad about myself. It's the meme. It's the Grinch meme of me when I have knee surgery tomorrow. Me, me, my face when knee surgery. I don't know. It's some fucking Gen Alpha thing. But I keep getting it on my Explore page. And now people are going up to the Grinch at Universal Studios and saying that to him, and he's like, what's the faq? Anyway, I need him. And I also need the guy who plays. Because they have a similar sort of improvisational character interaction thing at Disney. The guy who does Crush the. The turtle from Nemo. Isn't that his name? Crush? And he gets up there, and it's honestly amazing technology. I kind of was blown away where they do. It's like an animation, and it's one of those where, like, there's a guy behind it with I'm sure the, like, green screen probes or whatever it is on his face. And he totally has the voice down of crotch Gimme Finn, that sort of thing. Okay. Need him. But he'll interact with the audience and he'll kind of make fun of them, but answer genuine questions of like, how does the ocean work? And he'll be like, great, great question. I don't know. Just go with the flow. I could do it. If that guy ever gets sick, call me Disney. Call me. You know, you know, I could nail that. And if you ever need Universal, if you ever need someone to do Donkey, I could do Donkey. If you ever need someone to do the Gingerbread Man, I could do that. If they ever opened up a Shark Tale ride, if there was ever a DreamWorks land, you bet your ass. I'm doing. I'm doing the shrimp from Shark Tale. But he's fairly happy. And, you know, I see the love in that little guy's face. It makes it all worth it in the end. I could do that. I could do that live and I could interact with people, but I would do it in a sort of busker way. Like, I would be the shrimp, and it would be one of those animated screens where I would pester people as they're walking by. It wouldn't be like a stop and get your picture with me. I'd be like, excuse me, sir, that corn dog looks delicious. I've got 17 children at home. Would you spare some of it? Some of those, like, something like that? I would make little shrimp jokes, okay? Don't ever doubt my ability to improv as a character. Let me be the shrimp from Shark Tale. Watch. Watch me blow it out of the water. All the other shrimp auditiones, you're looking at the winner, okay? For the live action shrimp from Shark Tail. What the fuck am I talking about? Seriously, though, if this all goes to shit, Disney, Universal, you know, you know who to. You know who to call, okay? And if I just offended anyone by saying that I'm sexually attracted to the Grinch, whatever. It's not the craziest thing I've said on this podcast. And it's not even that jarring compared to the wide spectrum of things that I have had a special interest in on this podcast. I think it's also kind of understandable when you understand, understand the type of man that I would go for, the type of man that would. That would so metaphorically, so to speak, perk my ears, right? Like I'm a little dog. My ears go up when I see the shirt, the Grinch. Okay, let's move on. You know, sometimes the Bravest among us. Among us. Me, when I vent. The bravest among us are those who are willing to say what no one else is willing to say. What's the Arctic Monkeys lyric they just say for tomorrow day? Crawling back to you. Ever thought of calling when you've had a view? Me calling the Universal Studios hotline when I've had a few, being like, you guys gotta do fucking Shark Tale Ride. I'm literally, I'm telling you, it would bring in so much revenue. You could have be Lenny. You can be Lenny from the fucking movie. You could have Will Smith, you, me be the shrimp. Please, guys, just. It's a 40 experience. It's a 40 experience. They dunk you in a tank. All right, let's move on. Glad I've been talking for eight minutes about the shrimp from Shark Tail. That's Fun. Best of 2024. Now, some of this is going to be media that was released in 2024, and some of it is going to be just media I found happened to find in 2024. Okay, so y'all know that I've been steadily making my way through the George Orwell train. I've been reading a bunch of classics. Speaking of which, I saw Nosferatu. Holy. I'll get to that in a second. I've been reading, I've been powering through a bunch of classics. I mean, even this year, way back when I read the Bell Jar, I read Animal farm, just finished 1984, just started Fahrenheit 451. And the book that I was talking about last time, that was sort of. It's been suggested as a cure to the Red Rising. Hangover is the will of the Many. That's the one. And I saw someone comment it last time as a suggestion of like, if you liked Red Rising. Okay, I loved Red Rising. So Will of the Many. Better blow me out of the fucking water. But I bought it. It's on my nightstand. I'll start to read it soon. Okay, so let's sort of start. We'll start with books. I guess my like, genuinely, I cannot recommend it enough. If you enjoy the sort of Game of Thrones esque political drama, if you like Succession, if you like those sort of shows, I would just really recommend Red Rising because the first book I've talked about this ad nauseam was not that impressive. But when you get to that third, fourth, fifth, sixth book, I genuinely was like pre, pre morning ending the series. I tried to prolong it as long as I could versus, like when I read Acotar I was like. And then, and then, and then when it was over this one dude, I was like, oh, my God, it's so good. I'm so in love with the characters when they kill off one of my favorite characters. Yeah, that's what this sweatshirt is from. I literally, I went full blown. You know, it's a really intense obsession when the minute you finish that piece of Media, you're opening Etsy.gov I'm on Etsy. I'm on Etsy. Looking up red rising Cassius All Bologna sweatshirt. Okay. And purchased. That shit just affected me so deeply. I just love it. I'm very excited to see what he does with the seventh book. And if it's ass, I'm gonna send a hate letter. I'm going to write a very strongly worded email and I'm gonna mail it off. I'm gonna print it and I'm gonna mail it off. Because, Rogue, you do not ruin this series for me. Okay? I would say that sort of, that's sort of the highlights. Discovering Anthony Bourdain's literature was very important for me this year. It provides me a piece that I think has really been lacking in my life. I mean, when you go back and think about however long ago when I talked about, I found that lady's TikTok where she had the nighttime routine, that was the Aperol Spritz playlist. And it's just bossa nova and it's enjoying the small luxuries in life and treating yourself, you know, like if you have that nice candle that you're saying, just burn it, just burn it. That's what it's for. You know, if you have a nice outfit that you're saving to just wear it. Like, life is so short and this shit's collecting dust in your house. Like, it's not just having nice things to have them. It's enjoying because you've earned it, because you worked hard, because life is hard. Like, I. And I'm not saying that that's, you know, contributing to like a spending problem. If you have a spending problem, fucking don't. Maybe there are ways to have a luxurious experience on a budget, of course. Marshalls and TJ Maxx. I'm looking at you. Some of that stuff is amazing in there. I'm. I'm a maxinista, so I think that there are little pockets of peace that this year I carved out. And certain pieces of media and music really helped with that because so much of, you know, the music space is so sat over saturated with like, this pop diva, this puppy, this one's trying to make it. Is this the song of the summer? Did I just write that? That sometimes you just want to take away. Take a step away from it and just listen to some music that doesn't have lyrics or just music that's old and think about how different the music industry is from probably when this music was put out. And so kind of diving into bossa nova. For me, this year was really a nice break, and it's very. Just pleasant to listen to. It's a very happy mindset to put yourself in. Can't recommend it enough. Anthony Bourdain was also part of that. Because this year, as we all know, as I have not stopped talking about, I am healing my relationship with food. Shout out once again to Alyssa's magic on TikTok. Looking at food in a sense of fun and enjoying what nature has to offer in its most natural sense. Processed food scares me. Especially all of this discourse that's been happening this year, you know, around like, this has fucking E. Coli. This has listeria. This has. It's like you can't even trust the food that you get from the grocery store because this country's running. This country's in the shitter. This country is a big floating turd in the shitter of the world. And we tried to flush it, and then the turd's too big and it clogged up the hole. That's what America feels like. What do you mean? I can't even buy baby carrots from the fucking grocery store in a plastic bag because it has E. Coli poop on it. What are you talking about? Oh, shit in my carrot bag. I just wipe a baby carrot with my. With my tahini dip. I don't even want to have poop in my mouth. I don't want poop. No, no, I don't want poop in my mouth. It's just ridiculous. So I think that pivoting this mindset to, like, shopping at a farmer's market or buying locally grown food, all of those things I have never thought of in my life, truly, like, I'm just. I was not that type of bitch. I. Give me danimals. Give me the little, like, goldfish pizza. Blasted cum juice. Goldfish flavor. I want it. I love it. But then I was feeling bad all the time, and I also felt swollen, and I was swollen. And so I think that I've just taken a more serious approach to my health this year. That's been really nice. Can't recommend it enough. And Anthony Bourdain's books have been very assistive. Is that a word? Have been very conducive to reconfiguring my relationship with food. The way that he talks about food and a dining experience has really helped. And obviously I love his sense of humor and his dryness and his unique perspective. And I miss him every day. And so I think that that combined with, you know, I love Stanley Tucci's YouTube show the Searching for Italy. Love that because he goes around and he explores how food is, you know, food is linked to community, which is linked to livelihood. And it's such a human thing to create an experience and a culture out of how you pick and prepare food, who you enjoy it with. The ranking order of eating. You know, the elders get to eat first or in some countries the youngest eat first. It's just like showing that how food really is the link, it's the chain link. So I think it's just been very, very nice this year. This episode is sponsored by Blissey. Here's a tip I just learned.

That's RocketMoney.com Broski Report RocketMoney.com Broski Report let's move into some hobbies that I really had enjoyed this year. This has been the year for me of looking inward and abandoning any attachment I had to being okay with myself. Reliant upon what others say is okay about me. Does that make sense? I worded that poorly, but, like, only giving credibility to the values and the attributes that other people recognize in me. I'm like, okay, well, those are the only things that I should really be feeding and growing and paying attention to. But then other parts of me started to die and like, erode and corrode away. And I was like, well, that's not good. Because if you live your life trying to please other people, of course it's empty and hollow at the end, so. Right, guys. And so this year for me, along with the whole food thing, has been about resetting my relationship with myself and what I want to do. And if I was 8 years old, what would matter to me, you know, because I, around the age of 10, is when my family started to suggest, you should wear makeup. You know, you should pluck your eyebrows, you should stop dressing like that. You should, whatever. And so tapping back in, which has been a theme for a lot of people this year, this isn't uniquely to me, tapping back into what young me really loved. That is the essence of you. And I talked about this with Saoirse Ronan on Royal Court because we both, like, heavily related to this idea of nothing about me has changed since I was an early teenager, since I was a tween. She talked about, you know, grabbing a camcorder and making videos and feature length short feature films with her friends and her directing it and being like, okay, no, you're not doing it right. Like that sort of thing of you've always intrinsically had these passions and you lose them along the way because you are told that other things should matter more and other things take precedence. And this culture of shame, you know, around being realistic or you're not good enough for that or that's never gonna happen for you. It's like, I don't really subscribe to that philosophy anymore. And talking about it with other creatives is so healing and it's so nice to just be like, who you were at 8 years old is still you. You just have to find it, like, do some soul searching and really dive back into it headfirst of the things that you used to love and see if you still love it. Chances are you probably. For me, this year it's been about crafting. I love a craft, but for me, crafting is like the whole day is going to be, I'm crafting, I'm going to get my little setup, I'm going to get all my materials, I'm going to Put my music on and you know your hands are going to be dirty. So it's not like you can be on your phone or whatever. It's just a nice break from constantly absorbing information and media and news. It's like, when do you ever get that break other than when you're sleeping, unless you intentionally sit down and put a literal physical barrier between you and your ability to touch your. Your cell phone. So I think that that has been really important for me this year as well. I had a. A brief stint and I was about to say beef stint, which I'm not sure what that is. I had a brief stint with my air dry clay. Okay. I had a little moment with that, that was really fun. And I made some cool. I don't have it down. Okay. Because I had only tried it like three or four times. And that shit is hard. As I like watching Gazoo Studio on YouTube. She really inspires me. She makes the cutest, most original, like amazing trinket dishes and keychains and jewelry dishes and box. It's just so cute. And they are so good as gifts. Because the thing with clay and any sort of medium like that is if you have an idea in mind for someone you love, just make it out of clay. Even if it looks like shit, it's like the effort of, I know you like this and I'm gonna create something that could be useful for you in your daily life to remind you how much I love you. It's shit like that. It's like that's why you craft or you craft for yourself, you know, just to get it out. And that's been really good for me this year. I also got into keychaining. Okay. I got into keychaining. I got the little. Here's the thing for all you craft bitches out there, the thing holding you back from starting a craft or a hobby is the necessary tools. And I know that's right. And I have actually a hard opinion on this because some people are like, it doesn't matter, just sit down, do it. You don't have to have the right tools. You don't have to have the most expensive, whatever. Okay, sure, that's true. But you do have to have tools for it. Like I wanted to get into keychaining and like jewelry making. You have to have the right pliers and you have to have the right little chain hooks or what are they called? Lobster claw, whatever and octopus, whatever. You have to do it right. And just trying to use household things, sure, you can do it. But that's going to piss me off. So I had gone to Michael's craft store and I bought a bunch of just jewelry pliers and I got a set of four. And it was amazing how easy it was to do. I was like, oh, my God, I should have started this earlier. All I needed was a set of pliers for 6.99. So I will say that that investing in the right tools will make the crafting process so much less stressful and so much more. I was so much more willing to try and learn being adequately prepared. So that was fun. I made some customized keychains for everyone for Christmas. If you're in my family or my friends, don't watch this because you're getting a keychain. Yeah, that was really fun to do because it's also fun just to look through all the charms and all the whatever and I got to do it. And I was like, okay, dis it because it's Star Wars. I put Star Wars Kitchen. I did it for my dad. It was so much fun. I had so much fun. I made 10. I made 10 long ass keychains that probably will break, but I don't because it was fun to make and I got to personalize it each single person. I love crafting. Okay, what else did I do? Oh, another favorite hobby I had this year is this sort of concept slash idea of Ireland as a country. Right. I would say that was a hobby of mine this year was getting into Irish lore, Irish history, the struggle of the Irish people. And I know I threatened to bomb y'all a few times, and I'm sorry about that. But it was because a man had tried to fuck on me earlier this year. God, that feels like 10 years ago. What was that? March, April of this year? Yeah. When I had met that beautiful Irish man. And then he had actually ghosted me. Okay. And so I had threatened to blow up your country. I didn't mean it. Unless you know what I mean. Hello, ladies and germs, boys and girls, the Grinch is back again to ruin your Christmas season with Tis the Grinch Holiday podcast.

Over it and I'm glad I didn't blow you guys up because I met Paul Mescal. So I been like really embarrassing about Paul Mescal and I had threatened to blow up your country and I didn't blow it up cuz like I did it, okay? I didn't. And like Sersa and Hosier and Killian Murphy and all my favorite Irish people. I love Ireland. I love Ireland. I got to move to I'm I for real. I'm thinking about getting a little apartment in Dublin, but I don't know when and I don't know why and I don't know with who and what the am I going to do in Dublin, you know what I mean? Other than getting to trouble. Okay? So that was definitely one of my hobbies, was talking about Ireland for no specific reason at all other than the fact that I love it. And I find the Irish people to be so resilient and strong willed and proud and survivors and they have a very strong moral compass. I mean, I'm generalizing of course. I'm sure there's some shitty Irish people, but I think that by and large, you know, those are some people that have fucking been through it and they know right from wrong and they know oppressors when they see it. And it was just a beautiful year of me learning about the history and the fervor in that country. You know what I mean? Okay, let's move on. Another favorite hobby of mine, and this is a psychotic thing to say, if you would show this to Brittany from January of this year, she would say, what cheap drug did you give her to say this? How much is she being paid to say this? And the answer is none. I'm not being paid zero dollar money to say this. I really enjoyed Bar Method. I really enjoyed Bar Method this year. And that is a workout class. What the fuck? It's a workout class. And it was like truly this year felt like Goldilocks. Like I was trying on this workout class for size and it was awful. And then I tried yoga on for size and it was too slow and soft and I didn't feel like I'd worked out. And then I did they. And then I found Bar Method and I was like, oh my God, this is exactly what I've been looking for. So that's been really incre. Not incremental, fundamental in my, you know, because if you're doing the food side of it, you have to do the body side of it as well. And so that's been part of it for me as well is, is feeling strong after I complete a Bar Method class. And I love this shit and I've talked to y'all about this before, but it still makes me cry. At the end of a Bar Method class, the instructor does like a five minute wind down that incorporates some elements of yoga, but it's just really about which I guess is yoga. It's gratitude for your body and the fact that you had the self starting sort of motivation to come to the class and to do something good for your body and to exercise it and take care of it. And even if you want to quit, you still did it and you showed up, you might as well just finish it. And so it really has been great to finish these classes. And I literally cry every single class because she's like, you showed up for yourself today. Give yourself a pat on the back. Do it. Actually do it. And then she literally makes you like give yourself a pat on the back. It's so sweet. And yeah, just thanking your body for healing you and keeping you alive and, and thanking yourself for treating your body well all the. It's just like I've never in my life. I do not come from a family that gives a shit about health until it's too late, you know, until it's like, well, you gotta get your liver replaced because you smoke for 30 years and you drank for 40. It's just like, I don't really come from a family that prioritizes health above being skinny above. I have tons of people in my family. Who have gotten weight loss surgeries, who have had, you know, they're on this diet pill, they're on slim fast, they're Jenny Craig or whatever. It's just like this endless endeavor to get thin but not to actually be healthy. And getting thin and being thin shouldn't be the goal. It should be. I'm damaging my body by eating like shit all the time, never moving. And then you wonder why your joints hurt. You know, why. Why this hurts, why you snap, crackle, and pop when you get out of bed in the morning. It's just like, I don't want to be 55 and in pain because even, you know, I started at like, 242. I was 242 pounds, November of last year. And I genuinely, every morning, I was like, my knees hurt. I have to take a Tylenol to go to bed. Like, my back hurts. My. My shoulders hurt because I'm. I had big boobs that my freaking back couldn't support because I had no core strength. It was just all this. And I was on planes all the time. So I'm just sitting. I'm just stationary. And it was a very sedentary lifestyle, and I've been trying my best to fix that. And I would say it is absolutely paid off. And I feel great and I feel proud of myself. But it's, you know, it's a war always up here. I've been at war with my body. I tried to charm myself dinner, and then I gained all the weight back. I love Lord, but I think, yeah, that's been. That's a part of it. I really have not had any good example of anyone in my family who has prioritized health and not in a holier than thou way, just in a. Yeah, I like to eat good and I like to move my body. That doesn't exist in my family, or if it does, it's in some extreme way of, like, restrictive eating or over exercise or, you know, only eating salad and water. That's not a solution either. And that's not a way to live. So I am holding the metaphorical torch, so to speak, and leading my people into freedom, which is the Tomlinson clan into freedom, because what the fuck, girl? It's been a tough one. Anyway, that's been great this year. Bar Method. This episode is sponsored by Factor. Notice how the days are shorter, but the to do lists aren't.

Let's let's talk music girl. Because that's what we do, right? It's really going to do. It's like my favorite thing ever. And this year has been great for discovering new artists for me and diving back into some of my originals because there were some really incredible releases this year which I will get into of course. But I think this whole year was just about finding comfort and like what do I like and what do I really enjoy listening to and not like trying to keep up with what everyone's listening to and you know this is the newest thing and this is me fucking great. But like I like what I like and that's not a revolutionary thing to say. It's just I think I've denied myself that for a year or two because TikTok music has become so the leader at the forefront of the cultural zeitgeist. And I just want to reel it back into when I'm doing my makeup, when I'm getting in the shower, what do I want to listen to. And so that's what this is. Of course we're going to start with Sam Fender. Sam Fender. Since he dropped People Watching, which is his, the new single, I just went right back in down the Sam Fender rabbit hole. I love him. He is on a level of hozier for me. He's getting there of such intentional and clever lyricism coupled with just classic interesting guitar. You know, it's a. It's a very guitar heavy music and interesting drums. And I think I know that his recording and writing process is very, I'm not going to say like non traditional, but in the music industry there is a lot of like you should write with this writer and we're going to put you in a room with this producer and you know, we're going to test drive things like different producers and writers to see. It's like speed dating to see who fits well with you. And I know that for Sam, in his case, he writes all the lyrics, maybe he has a few co writers I'm not aware of and it's just him and his producer in a garage or a studio. It's very minimal people. There's not a lot of cooks in the kitchen. And that's how it fucking should be because it's straight from the horse's mouth. And I like that. When you look at some of these songs from other artists or some of the top charting songs of this year, you would be shocked how many writers are on these songs. What do you mean? You need 13 writers to write a song. That's the most basic brain dead pop you've ever heard. I don't understand. And so when you come down to it and you let the artist actually speak and say what they want to say. No one can replicate what Hozier comes up with. No one can replicate what Sam Fender has to say. Because those are such unique perspectives, you know, of how they grew up, what they've witnessed, how they've witnessed it and how they process it and in turn speak it through art into the world, you know, their opinion or what they think of it all. And, you know, each. Each musician, each artist has their own worldview, and it's never been more apparent than with Sam Fender and Hozier. I'm just consistently blown away by how they see the world, and it's how I see the world. And finding that community and relatability with your favorite artists is just. It is such a special connection. And, yeah, I just. Sam Fender has been consistently. I just love it. Don Toliver. Don Toliver. I love Don Toliver. I don't know. I don't know. Half of the ones on here are rap. I love rap. I just don't talk about it. I listen to Key Glock a lot this year. I don't know. Ken Carson. Like, I think Don Toliver for me is just a fun. It's like, it makes me feel kind of sexy. Right? It's just fun. Like, I like to do my makeup to it. I'll shower to it. I'll. I'll do, like, housework to it. I just really like his. His voice, and I also like his production. I just. I really like it. And it's never monotone or one note. It's never one note. Like, each new Don Toliver release on the album, there's. All the tracks are different, but they exist in the same universe. I love that. Like, it's not creating the same song 40 times by some artists. It's, like, actually respectable. Interesting. Now, are some of the lyrics misogynistic? Yes, of course. Are we shocked? No. But it's still, like, sonically, I'm like, damn, this one goes fucking crazy. So I think that he. He was one of my top artists this year. Don't know why. Actually, I do know why I love his music. Zach Topp. Now, I had a Zach Top phase that was really, really intense. And for all of you who had to witness that, I'm sorry. Zach Top is. He was one of my favorite country artists of this year. I think what he's doing is he's bringing back classic 90s country, and I just love him for it. And he is paying homage to the originals, like Alan Jackson and Randy Travis and all them, but he's bringing a modern flair to it, and I really. I wish he had more music out, honestly. He's only got, like, 10 songs out, and he used to be in a bluegrass band, and I'm into that because I found some of that on YouTube and I was like, yeah, give me more of this. Very, very into that. Banks. Banks is consistently in my top artists. I Think she is one of the. How I was talking about Hosier and Samhainder. She is one when it comes to relationships and like your relationship to your womanhood that I listen to her lyrics and I'm like, fuck. She just. She gets it. She gets it. Also her relationship to sort of past toxic relationships and how she got out and reflecting on that, you know, I think we all can in a certain sense relate to that and some of her lyrics. She's got. One of my favorite albums of all time is three by her. And it's just so. She's got a song called Stroke. She's got a song called Godless. I mean all these songs are so. It's just heart wrenching and it's interesting, cool new age production. She's got a psycho voice. I just love her. I think she is so underrated and I really hope she has a moment soon. Sleep Token and Bad Omens. Duh. Okay. That sort of carried over from late fall of last year when I was. I had my little emo phase. For 17 minutes into the new year. I saw Sleep Token at Red Rocks with my friend Camille in May of this year, Euphoric. I was off the edible at Red Rocks. It started to rain. Amazing. Euphoric. Truly incredible. Dude. Sleep Token, whoever the fuck the lead singer is, because you know, they're all anonymous. God, his voice is crazy. Their whole branding is just crazy. I think that they could benefit from having a woman on the team to just like polish what they're trying to do, you know what I mean? The first couple shows they did with this new mask that he has and whatever he's wearing like a cape that has never been steamed. It's like that, you know, he's wearing like toms, black toms with some tape wrapped around him. It's like I see the vision. You just need to have it done more professionally, I think. Hire me as your creative director. Sleep Token, I really have some things to tell you, but I love. I love their music. The concept, the stage presence, the show. Immaculate McGee, MKG, McGee Rockman by McGee. Oh my God. I keep talking about them. I love that fucking song. I just love it. I'm really. I've been into them and TV Girl. TV Girl is one of my favorites ever. I played them a lot this year along with Still Woozy, that sort of just indie happy, passive white guy rock music. Hell yeah. Love it. And then Beyonce, of course. Beyonce goes without saying she is always in my top artist because I always go back to it. Okay, you always have to go back to it. Seriously. Okay, now here are my favorite albums of this year. And then I'll do of all time. And let me know if you agree. Favorite albums of this year. We're gonna go ahead and do Eternal Sunshine. Hi. Hello. Eternal Sunshine. Ariana Grande has this thing where she releases music when it feels like the girls need it. I needed Eternal Sunshine this year. I needed it. When she dropped Thank u Next. I needed Thank u Next. When she dropped Positions, I needed positions. I think that she is so good at capturing this snapshot, screenshot of what culturally women are experiencing, at least for me. I'm speaking for me. Like, whenever she drops music, I find it so incredibly hauntingly relatable. So. Huh. Thank you, Ariana Corte for Eternal Sunshine. And specifically, specifically the song Eternal Sunshine. And the song I wish I hated you. Right. Me need that so bad. Okay, next. Brat. Duh, Brat. Goes without saying, but specifically the Brat remix album. The remix album. Everything it needed to be and more. I love that it wasn't just the original song with a feature. She completely redid the song but kept the structural integrity of what the song was trying to communicate. Charlie xcx, you are a visionary and you are a genius. Thank you for your work and thank you, AG Cook as well. Love Seat by Still Woozy. I love this album. I think it's again, like this, sort of prioritizing, listening to things that bring you happiness and bring you a sense of peace. I love Still Woozy for this. Okay. That's sort of. I just love them so fucking much now. Okay, guys, my top three albums of all time. And I need you to sort of, you know, stick with me on this. And these are my hard opinions. So just don't. Don't fight me. Lemonade by Beyonce goes without saying. My number one album of all time. I've listened to it probably 3,000 times. One of the most deeply impactful pieces of media for me in my life. Lemonade by Beyonce. Really not much more to say about that. I've talked about it in depth. I'm going to do a whole episode eventually on it. AM by the Arctic Monkeys. Duh. AM is more so like a. It was very fundamental in me growing up like that high school Britney. That album represented so much to me. That era, like 2013, 2014, that era of just. You either get it or you don't. Okay. And AM is that. It's the Tumblr of it all. It's introducing me to their older discography, which launched me into other different genres. That I had never even considered around that time. It was just really. It was just indie rock. I'm so into indie rock. And I wasn't before that. You know, it's like before your sophomore year of high school, what were you listening to? You know, I was listening to like almost Disney Channel stuff. Well, that's not true. Early high school, I was listening to the weekend. I was listening to the weekend. I was listening to a trilogy. By the weekend before I had discovered Arctic Monkeys and I was on soundcloud. I was listening to Majad Jordan. I was. I was listening to Post Malone, all that sort of shit. I've just really. Arsene Monkeys was very impactful for me. And then number three is three by Banks. And now this ranking is subject to change, honestly, because I love the Beatles and the Rubber Soul was very influential for me as a teenager as well. But I don't know if it deserves all three of all time. Personally for me, three by Banks really just shaped me because this was right after college and I was exclusively listening to Banks and like Chet Faker, I don't know why. Love these albums. I want to try something that we've never done before on this podcast. Okay, team, you know, y'all always hear from me on this podcast about my favorites. My this, my that. I'm gabbing, I'm yapping, I'm gabbing, gibbing. Okay, I kind of want to hear from you guys. I think it's time we introduce a new segment. A one time segment where we go to the streets, we take to the streets of Broski Nation and we get a pulse check. Okay, guys, I've actually, for the first time ever, the budget finally approved it hired an on the street correspondent that is going to go out into the streets of Broski Nation and ask some pressing questions. Okay, what are your favorites? What are your top three favorite albums? These sort of pressing questions that I just need to know. So I'm actually. One second. Okay. Okay. I'm actually getting word right now that we are live on the street with our new correspondent, Brittany. Brittany, how are you? Talk to me. Hi, Brittany. I'm out here on the streets of Broski Nation asking people their top three favorite albums of all time. Looking for someone to talk to. I think we got someone right here. Excuse me, sir. Sir.

- [50:58]
Brittany Broski
The budget was approved.
- [50:59]
Timothy
The budget was approved. Dune 2 did well. I could do. I could get the 699.

Brittany Broski
Okay. What do you have to say to that?

Timothy
Right, Right. What's your ideal man?

- [51:27]
Brittany Broski
Hey, we're worried about you.
- [51:29]
Timothy
Yeah, I know. I'm worried about me. I'm worried about me.
- [51:32]
Brittany Broski
You know that, like, that demographic of boy is so, like. It's in. You're in.
- [51:37]
Timothy
It's called empowering the anemic.
- [51:40]
Brittany Broski
It's called anemia awareness. We gotta feed you a lot of pure protein. A lot of oranges. Prone to scurvy.
- [51:47]
Timothy
You know, I'm definitely prone. I'm definitely prone to scurvy. Definitely. I was telling you before, if my pee is brown, I know. I'm not having enough insurance.
- [51:54]
Brittany Broski
Yeah. That was a conversation we were having off camera before.
- [51:57]
Timothy
My grandmother and I used to chug in shores and I would spike them with what? With Bacardi Rum.
- [52:03]
Brittany Broski
Ooh, that sounds kinda good.
- [52:05]
Timothy
Yeah, that sounds not bad.
- [52:06]
Brittany Broski
What's your like? Did you have a college era nasty go to drink?
- [52:10]
Timothy
No, because I was obsessed with acting. It sounds lame, but I'm a theater kid through and through, so that was my pursuit.
- [52:17]
Brittany Broski
Mine was Everclear and Gatorade. Really, I would not recommend, but it was a sort of rite of passage of. I had a similar sort Of Vomitclear. Everclear is going to be like jet fuel. It's like the closest thing to diesel, I think, that they can sell on the market. It's awful. It's pure alcohol. It's Everclear.
- [52:33]
Timothy
Like, it's absinthe.
- [52:35]
Brittany Broski
It's like vodka, but so much worse than.
- [52:37]
Timothy
And you'd spike it with Gatorade.
- [52:39]
Brittany Broski
Oh.
- [52:39]
Timothy
100 Malibu rum ever.
- [52:41]
Brittany Broski

- [53:02]
Brittany Broski
I appreciate you.
- [53:03]
Timothy
I don't want to assert anything. Anything at all.
- [53:06]
Brittany Broski

- [53:09]
Timothy

Timothy
Yeah.
- [53:33]
Brittany Broski
Timothee Chalamet. Any last words before we kill you?
- [53:37]
Timothy
You know. Yeah. Before you've. Before am I. Is this Broski's execution sentence? Okay, what does that look like in Broski World?
- [53:45]
Brittany Broski
Very cheaply made.
- [53:46]
Timothy
Very cheaply made. Like, it won't. It won't cut through my neck all at once. It's more simple, way more painful than just the initial head slice. Oh, no, no, no last words. Thank you for having me on. A complete unknown comes out Christmas Day. That. You know, I probably should have found a way to plug that more. And then. Do you own this property? Is this also Broski Nation or.
- [54:03]
Brittany Broski
No, this is Broski Nation.
- [54:04]
Timothy
Really? This is all Broski Nation?
- [54:06]
Brittany Broski
Yes. I actually don't own this building. I don't know. Look. How strange. No, this is not dreary.
- [54:17]
Timothy
Yeah, this is like. Where are we?
- [54:18]
Brittany Broski
Yeah, we're just on a bare rock in space.
- [54:21]
Timothy
Bare rock in space? And what. What is this rock? What is this?
- [54:25]
Ryan Seacrest
What is this?
- [54:25]
Timothy
Earth without art? Just.
- [54:27]
Brittany Broski
Just a rock. All right, Brittany, back to you. This has been. What was your name again? Woo.
- [54:35]
Timothy
Young patawan. Brittany Broski disciple. Please, I'll do anything for you. Your new assistant. Your nails are getting done at 4:45.
- [54:42]
Brittany Broski
Hey, back to you, Queen. Thanks, Brittany. On the street. All right, we'll talk to you later. We got Timothy Chalamet on the podcast before we got GTAs. What the what? The. Feeling normal. Feeling normal. And also very relaxed. I feel very relaxed. Okay, moving on. Let's go ahead and move on our guest. Let's talk about 2025 New Year's resolutions. Okay, here's my 2025 New Year's resolution. We're going to have Jack Harlow on Royal Court. That's actually something that needs to happen. I need Kiki Palmer on Royal Court almost expeditiously, immediately. Caleb Heron barred from Royal Court. He's not coming on. Stop asking me, Okay. I have a restraining order against him, actually. Yeah. Cannot be in the same room as him or Trixie Mattel. It's just really not good for my mental state. I'm just kidding. We're gonna have Caleb on pretty soon, and I'm so excited for it. That episode. Caleb is one of those people. Okay, let me be very genuine for a second. Caleb, you'll never meet someone like Caleb. He is a diamond in the rough. He would give you the shirt off of his back. He would give you the keys to his house, the keys to his car. I mean, at the drop of. If you ever need anything. That man loves so deeply and so genuinely. It is such a rarity in how thoughtful he is, how mindful he is, how emotionally mature, how intelligent. Because I always say this, you cannot be that funny without being so incredibly smart. Well read, well spoken, like, just. He is so smart. And I know that part of it is just intrinsic, but he makes sure to stay informed and to really have, like, a solid base of where he's coming from and why he believes what he does. And it's just so inspiring. And I really. I mean, I love him so much as a sister and a friend, but I really look up to Caleb as well. I just. I love him so much. And so having him on Royal Court, I told my team, I said, y'all need to understand that I'm beat. Okay? This isn't about me trying to be funnier. He's funnier than me, so just. Just let him ride. Don't cut early, okay? Don't stop rolling. Get the footage, because that bitch is going to. I just truly, like, he's so funny, it makes me mad. I'm actually pissed off. I get livid a bit. A little bit. I start to froth at the mouth. I start to foam. I love him. It's going to be so much fun to have him on. So we're going to do that. We have some guests coming out this week on Royal Court that you bitches are going to lose your fucking mind. I've been talking about this forever. You bitches are going to lose your shit. I lost my shit. Okay. In the new year, we have some even more excitingness. I feel very normal. And let me just sort of, you know, if we're talking about going into 2025, I know it's cliche. I know it's cornball. I know you don't want to hear it. I am so forever indebted to y'all. Everything I do moving forward, everything I've always done has been partially to satiate my own creative appetite, but majority to keep y'all fed and happy. I love this job. I love that I get to do this job. I want to do it to a degree that's professional and innovative and happy and creates an environment that people can escape into. And I am so infinitely blessed that I get to do that and that I get to create these cultural moments that for me, for me is psychotic. Okay? The fact that I was even presently there while it happened, AKA what you had just witnessed, that coupled with the fact that, like, this really is my job. I have to, like, I'm working with my writers and my production team and whatever of, like, okay, what questions can we ask Cole Sprouse about Danimals? You know, it's like, I don't. I never thought that this would be the job that I do, and I'm just forever words really don't summarize the feelings that are swirling around at all times. I'm just so grateful, and I hope to continue doing it for a very long time. And we're just getting bigger and better every year. I have full time employees now, which is crazy that we're constantly working on how to make, you know, Royal Court better, how to make this podcast better, the hosting opportunities that I do and I. I host carpets and, you know, I do shows. And maybe I'm exploring a new creative medium in the new year that you guys will hear about. Late March to early April, potentially, God willing, just sort of stick around and wait for it, because there is a project that I have been nurturing and growing and feeding and making sure that it is what it needs to be before I give it to you guys. That's sort of what I've been. What I've been sitting on. I'm like a big fat duck sitting on a big, fat, fat egg. Do ducks lay Eggs. Yes. Okay. I'm a goose. I'm a big swollen goose sitting on a big fat goose egg. And the goose egg is for y'all. And it's golden. It's a golden goose egg. But it's actually like, you know how golden chocolate coins, it's just a wrapping. That's what my golden goose egg is. But it's still a golden goose egg. Okay. It is from team you. I got my golden goose egg from team you. Tick Tock shop. And inside there's little mini brands. That's what my goose egg is. And so I'm gonna. I'm gonna scream it out. Out. I'm gonna scream out my chocolate goose egg and I'm gonna hand it to y'all on a silver platter and it's gonna be worth the wait. Okay. Because we are putting our into this and it's gonna be a lot of fun. So that's for 2025, I think. Also, I have a. A brand collaboration happening in 2025 that makes total sense. And y'all are gonna love. That'll come out later in the year. There's a lot of things happening. Okay. For the broski universe. We have our own sort of Spider man, We have our own Iron man, we have our own I don't know, Thanos. But yeah, it's a lot of that team and it's a lot to look forward to and I thank you for being here and I'll see you next week. For our Christmas episode. Our Christmas episode. Actually, for the Christmas episode, I'm gonna open with a 10 part choir of just me doing sweet silver bell of a cheer from everywhere filling the air People singing songs of a dear Christmas Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas on all they say I've jumped through seven different keys. We'll see you next week too. Goodbye.
